(00:00):
Welcome back to the Relentless Podcast. I am your host, Kyle Becker. The world is under threat.

(00:06):
And much of that is due to the inability of many people in the West to perceive threats.
That is the subject of this monologue.
Why does there suddenly seem to be multiple threats around the world?
Regional war in Europe that risks World War III.
But America's leaders keep pushing an agenda of a reckless proxy war
that threatens millions of people's lives and with no end in sight.

(00:30):
Now, there is brewing regional conflict in the Middle East.
America's military forces are on high alert.
Carrier groups have been dispatched to the region to attempt to deter Iran
from directly intervening or indirectly intervening through its terrorist arm in Lebanon,
has been law.
This news comes amidst an out-of-control border crisis in the United States.

(00:53):
That has been foemened by an intentional disregard for America's security.
Whether it's violent criminals coming across the border or fentanyl being smuggled in
that is killing tens of thousands of Americans, plausibly aided by China and drug cartels,
and even potential terrorists according to multiple reports.
Christopher Raid debunked the media talking point that terrorist threats in the United States

(01:18):
stemming from the Hamas' real conflict are a figment of conservative social influencers
and imagination.
In this heightened environment, there's no question we're seeing an increase
in reported threats and we've got to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors who may
take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own.

(01:41):
So I'd encourage you to stay vigilant because as the first line of defense
protecting our communities, you're often the first to see the signs that someone may be mobilizing
to violence. The FBI director's warning was issued a day after former Hamas leader
Haled Mashal called for a day of jihad on October 13th.

(02:03):
And mercifully, although those terrorist threats have not yet materialized in America,
a Tunisian man in Brussels, Belgium, opened fire on Swedish civilians earlier this week,
tragically killing two people.
Police authorities identified the man as Abda Salam El, and he said in videos posted online
that his name was Abda Salam El Jolani. He was shot to death by police in a cafe on Tuesday.

(02:29):
The Belgian justice minister said the suspect had unsuccessfully sought asylum in Belgium
in November 2019 and had immigrated illegally as he was known to Belgian police a connection
with human trafficking. You will notice a theme here that you'll look familiar to Westerners.
A legal migrant fails to assimilate into a host country. He identifies religiously or ideologically

(02:56):
or ethnically with the region from when he came. He lives underground and carries out criminal
activity, including human trafficking and sometimes drug smuggling and even terrorism.
The immigration issue is a national security issue, case in point.
But while we hope in price such terrorist attacks don't come to the west,

(03:17):
we must realize how we got here. Across the United States, there are pro-Palestinian protests
in major cities such as Dallas. According to the Dallas Morning News,
"Outside of Dallas City Hall on Sunday, an all-out for Palestine peaceful protest,
through more than a thousand attendees, according to estimates." The crowd began a march through

(03:40):
downtown around 1pm, that returned to City Hall after roughly an hour. Quote, "Many attendees
carried the red, green, white, and black Palestinian flag, or wore red and green hijabs,
and a few people sprayed red and green smoke into the crowd as they began marching."
Many of the marchers yelled, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

(04:04):
That is a veiled call for genocide. Of course, there were some posters intermingled in the crowd
that called for peace and avoiding innocent bloodshed, which is only slightly reassuring.
That's because the chant is reflective of general sentiment in Gaza.
According to a slightly dated poll that is certainly reflective of curtain sentiment,

(04:25):
"Marking a notable shift in Palestinian public opinion, 60% of the population surveyed in the
West Bank and the Gaza Strip, 55% and 68% respectively, said that the five-year goal should be to
work toward reclaiming all of historic Palestine from the river to the sea." According to the poll.

(04:46):
That's a position meaning the elimination of Israel. Meanwhile, less than 30%, 31% in the West Bank,
22% in Gaza, would like to quote "and the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza to achieve a two-state
solution." We will revisit that subject of the two-state solution later, because Arabs explicitly

(05:06):
rejected it when Israel was founded in 1948. There were other pro-Palestinian protests,
such as in Dearborn Michigan. That's Palestinian Congresswoman Rashida Taleib's backyard.
But in college campuses across America, students are showing their intolerance and their

(05:41):
hatred of Israel and support for Palestine, without knowing a balanced and accurate history of the region.
Here NYU students walked around campus, calisely removing posters featuring missing Israelis
being held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists. At Cornell University, a college professor named Russell
Rickford said he found the Hamas invasion of Israel "exilarating" "It was exhilarating."

(06:17):
But the most obvious example of the cross-fertilization of pro-Palestinian causes and assorted
radical causes was a demonstration at the University of Washington. That's when Palestinian

(06:43):
Nationalists, Antifa and other leftists gathered in solidarity. The flyer for the event featured a drawing
of a Hamas paraglider. You might have recognized the version of this paraglider flyer,
as Andy Neow reported on X, "The official Chicago chapter of Black Lives Matter released the graphic
of a Hamas paraglider with a text, quote, "I stand with Palestine." A unit of Hamas militants

(07:09):
used paragliders and hang gliders to launch their armed massacre of civilians in Southern Israel.
Neow notes, "BLM, like Antifa, has long expressed support for Palestinian terrorism in the name of
quote, decolonialism, unquote, and fighting capitalism," he added. This is a perfect example of

(07:29):
critical theory. It is a Neow Marxist strategy to lower Americans threat perception and make them
"compliable for what Barack Obama referred to as "fundamental transformation." Black Lives Matter
is nothing more than a communist front group. It is anti-capitalist, anti-family, and anti-American.
It crifted millions of office sympathizers, but only wound up funding con artists,

(07:53):
alleged socialists who unironically got rich at the expense of those poorer than them.
This is the theme throughout all of history. Socialists never consider that equality between
people also includes the disparity of power that communist leaders attain when they run the state.
It is an iron law of al-Agarkey to cite socialist thinker Robert Michaels,

(08:16):
that such power attained by any faction will ultimately lead to an al-Agarkey class.
This is why alleged democratic socialists in the squad, such as Alexandria Cazio Corses,
and Rashida Taleib, and Elhan Omar, see no issue with getting filthy rich in government.
What we need in America is a separation of economy and state, real capitalism,

(08:39):
and not the warped version of corporatism, which is the straw man for radical critics,
and who could serve it despise just as much as leftists.
But it all starts with education. You may be wondering why college campuses can preach safe spaces,
and allow threats to commit genocide against Israeli's. You can look no further than a quote from

(09:01):
radical godfather Saul Linsky. He's the one who dedicated his rules for radicals to Lucifer.
He said, quote, "If you push a negative heart enough, it will push through and become a positive"
unquote. Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes
with the underdog. So who are the real underdogs here? I would argue it is each individual,

(09:26):
and his or her right to live in peace and dignity. A lack of moral clarity soars the seeds for violence.
But such as the result of a decades-long campaign of demoralization, which has resulted in
Americans no longer being able to agree on basic facts, and which has resulted in the inability
to accurately perceive threats. KGP defector Yuri Besbinoff summed it up brilliantly.

(09:51):
Ideological subversion is the slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active
measures, actively mere prietia in the language of the KGB or psychological warfare. What it basically
means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite

(10:14):
of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of
defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It's a great brainwashing
process which goes very slow and it's divided in four basic stages. The first one being

(10:38):
demoralization it takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is
the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country
of your enemy exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words Marxism, Leninism, ideology is

(11:00):
being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being
challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism. American patriotism.
That classic clip is from 1984. So as America reels from crisis to crisis, experiencing
abject demoralization of its values, we are now witnessing the results. The past two weeks have

(11:26):
seen a world once again thrown into upheaval due to the void of American leadership that has been
left by President name only Joe Biden. War exploded in Israel two weeks ago when Hamas
terrorists paraglided into the tiny Jewish state and massacred innocent Israeli civilians,
partying at dawn at the supernova music festival. Several hundred people were attending the

(11:49):
outdoor music festival in an Israeli community near Gaza and tragically lost their lives in a cruel
massacre executed by Hamas operatives. Hamas terrorists opened gunfire on approximately 3500
young Israelis who had gathered for a festive night of dance music in celebration of the Jewish

(12:09):
holiday of Sukkot. While rockets rained down, festival attendees reported that strategically
positioned Hamas terrorists near bomb shelters targeting those seeking safety. Many of these
militants arriving in vehicles in motorcycles who were equipped with body armor and armed with
AK-47 assault rifles and rocket propelled grenades. Terrific. A 21-year-old French-Israeli citizen

(12:36):
named Miashem was taken hostage at the festival. One of hundreds of Americans in Western citizens
caught in the crossfire of the internet scene conflict. Her face soon became the poster child
for the terror campaign that Hamas had carried out. But Miashem is just one of hundreds of flesh and
blood human beings who have become sacrificed due to Western elites crusade to champion any alleged

(13:00):
victim group who are perceived as having less power than their supposed oppressors.
The Biden administration has given hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinian groups
despite state department warnings such as in 2021 that at least some of the funding would ultimately
fall into the hands of Hamas or otherwise further its deferious goal to wage war on Israel.

(13:22):
Israel has also warned against giving aid to the Palestinians during the war. And while
hostages are being held because this inherently aids Hamas which runs Gaza. But such common
sense real politic has been defied by the Biden regime again and again. Either Biden or Obama
has given Iran access to nearly $8 billion combined. A recent report reveals a Biden

(13:46):
regime gave the Taliban a mortal enemy the US fought for 20 years around $2.3 billion in taxpayer money.
It has given around $700 million of funds to the Palestinians. Much of that through the United
Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East or UNRWA. This has been

(14:07):
described by critics as a social justice front group for Hamas. In 2022, Biden's White House announced
$316 million in support for Palestine. A chunk of $201 million was given to the UNRWA to provide
refugee services in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan and other countries. Trump ended the decades-long

(14:29):
assistance in 2018 which critics at the time argued was decided in order to place pressure on Palestinians
to reach a peace agreement with Israelis. It looked like it worked. But the action blew a hole in
the agency's budget as the US accounts for approximately 30% of the UNRWA's funding.
But why would the Biden regime blatantly ignore basic national security imperatives

(14:53):
and give money to organizations that could turn around and use it for terrorism against the United
States or its allies? Forward Trump, National Intel Director John Ratcliffe summed it up when he
slammed the Biden administration for changing the nation's intelligence focus from fighting terrorism
to fighting "climate change" unquote. >> Do you acknowledge it was an intelligence failure?

(15:16):
>> We will have plenty of time to look into that. All of us will have time to look into that.
>> We didn't see it coming. Joining me now, John Ratcliffe, former US Director of National
Intel under President Trump. John, what's your read of what happened here? President Trump
spoke in Wolfboro and laid out the reasons why Hamas did what he did, what it did. It was very

(15:43):
compelling and we're going to play it actually right now. >> We reduced the Iranian economy
and I withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal and posed the toughest ever sanctions on the
regime. Joe Biden undid it. He indicted all the billions and billions of dollars to the world's
top sponsor of terror, tossing Israel to the bloodthirsty terrorists and jihadists.

(16:08):
>> Well, if nothing seems as simple as it sounds but that's pretty convincing to me, your reaction.
>> Yeah, no, it is pretty simple. This wasn't intelligence failure and it was in part because the
Biden administration changed the priorities. President Trump correctly outlined under the
National Intelligence priority frameworks. We focused on the eradication of the ISIS caliphate,

(16:34):
which we achieved and we focused on Islamic terrorists regime Iran minimizing their influence.
We were very successful. The first thing Joe Biden did when he came into office was to scramble
all of that and to state clearly that the intelligence community would focus on our top national
security threat, climate change. Since that time, he's added of focusing on domestic violent

(16:54):
extremists, which they have defined to include parents and Catholics and even now Trump supporters.
So the idea, the intelligence enterprise is very good at focusing on what the administration
wants and in this case, we had them focusing on the weather instead of on Hamas and I don't think
anyone should be surprised that this kind of an outcome unfortunately. >> In this case, we had them

(17:18):
focusing on the weather instead of on Hamas. That about sums it up. A Biden administration whose
heads are lost in the clouds as they're a softening one set of socrates. As a senior Hamas official
who was interviewed on a Russian state TV channel characterized it, the Biden administration was
played for fools. Hamas organized its invasion of Israel about the time Biden took office and prepared

(17:42):
for the invasion under the guise of governing Gaza, he claimed. He also alleged that Hamas and
his law had notified Iran before the attack. But an Israeli security official has fallen on the
sword claiming the intel failure is all his fault. The head of the Shinnbeth security agency says he
is personally responsible for the lack of an early warning for Hamas's murderous attack on Southern

(18:04):
Israel on October 7th. In a misive to members of the agency, Ronin Bar writes, quote, "Despite a
series of actions, we carried out, unfortunately on Saturday we were unable to generate a sufficient
warning that it will allow the attack to be thwarted." But the Shinnbeth official is making a gross
overstatement. The lack of Western nation's ability to recognize a threat is systemic. It is now

(18:29):
deeply interwoven into our culture. We are focusing on imaginary threats like climate change and
the Patriot Front and ignoring real threats like terrorism. It all begins with education as a UNRWA
video showed in college protests around America put on full display. The intellectual and moral

(18:50):
decline of America has preceded its civilizational decline as a world power. The owl of Minerva
flies at dusk as German-Floss per Hegel once said. And that means that it is a common theme in history
that civilizations don't recognize impending ruin until it is too late. But fortunately,
those periods of upheaval and change also show the conditions for great thinkers who formulate what

(19:15):
went wrong and how to change things for the better. But all too often, those who forget the past
are doomed to repeat it. And those who are miseducated about the past are most likely
carry out crimes against humanity in the name of the future. Case in point, let us look at a fair
and balanced view of Israel's history. A number of Western elites justify the attack that Hamas

(19:37):
carried out on Israel because those who are there are colonizers. That is an intellectually
dishonest epithet that is only wielded against the radical left's targets that neglects to mention
colonization as an ineluctable fact of human history. The territory of Israel had been colonized
numerous times throughout its history. King David of the Israelites ruled the territory in 1000 BC.

(20:01):
It was taken by the Babylonians, Libyan Bucadenas, and 587 BC, and there were mass deportations around
582 BC. Cyrus the Great of the Persian Empire is said to have liberated the Jews from the Babylonian
captivity to resettle and rebuild Jerusalem later in the 6th century. When Alexander the Great
conquered the Persian Empire, Jerusalem and Judea fell under Greek control and Hellenistic influence.

(20:26):
As a result of the Macabayan revolt, Jerusalem became the capital of the independent Hezmonean
state which lasted for over a century. Then the Roman Empire controlled it. In 66 AD, the Jewish
population in the Roman province of Judea rebelled against the Roman Empire. Following the Christian
ization of the Roman Empire, Jerusalem prospered as a hub of Christian worship under the Byzantine

(20:49):
Empire. Then Jerusalem was one of the Arab caliphates' first conquests in 638 AD. That was followed by the
Prophet Muhammad's campaign to spread Islam by the sword and colonize the region for the newly
founded religion. This spawned holy wars and crusades that did not need to be rehashed here. But

(21:10):
ultimately, much of what is Israel today fell under the control of the Ottoman Empire from 1517
to 1917. When World War I ended in 1918 with an Allied victory, the 400-year Ottoman Empire
rule ended and great Britain to control over what became known as Palestine, which is modern day
Israel, Palestine and Jordan. The British Empire 1917 issued a Balfour Declaration that promised

(21:35):
a national home for the Jewish people. The Balfour Declaration and the British mandate over Palestine
were approved by the League of Nations in 1922. Following the dissolution of the League of Nations
and the founding of the United Nations, there was a plan approved to partition Palestine into a
Jewish and Arab state in 1947, but the Arabs rejected it. Thus, they rejected the so-called two-state

(21:58):
solution. In May 1948, Israel was officially declared an independent state with David Ben Gurion,
the head of the Jewish Agency as the Prime Minister. Interestingly, Muslims today justify their
quest to rule the area from "the river to the sea" by referencing the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Jerusalem is not mentioned by any of its names in the Quran, and the Quran does not mention the

(22:22):
exact location of the Al-Aqsa mosque. Some scholars contend that the connection between the Al-Aqsa
mosque, referenced in the Quran and a temple mount in Jerusalem, is a result of an Umayyad empire
political agenda that aimed to rival the prestige of the Mekha sanctuary, which was then ruled by
their enemy Abda'ala Ibn Al-Zubayir. Yet, Israel's existence is described as an example of colonization

(22:46):
when that is inherently woven into the fabric of the Middle East. It is also a textbook example of
George Orwell's quote, "Who controls the past controls the future? Who controls the present controls
the past?" What really matters for mankind is our values, our culture, and our humanity. And
Western elites have betrayed all of those by siding with Palestinians and Hamas in the relentless

(23:12):
assault to wipe Israel off the map. Bill Marr brilliantly summed up their ideologically bankrupt
point of view in a recent episode of real time. I just want to finish with the values first,
because it's just amazing to me that the American left, so much of it, throws their lot in with people
whose values I hope they don't share, but let's go through them. Because values and customs make

(23:35):
a difference, okay? And the people of Gaza, by the way, if the Israelis did get rid of Hamas,
they're doing a giant favor to the people of Gaza who ate Hamas did it. But let's just go through the list.
Because the Israelis look like us in most ways values wise. Maybe we're not doing it the right way.

(23:58):
I don't know. Religious tolerance. That doesn't exist in Gaza. You read the Muslim or an
insidel, and you better be a Muslim. Female freedom, free and fair elections, free speech, gay rights.
I see these queers for Palestine. Did you hear their sister organization blacks with the KKK?

(24:19):
It's like, by the way, I'm a gay man. I've lived in Berlin. This is a level of masochism that even I
cannot comprehend. Right. I mean, you know what? Can I just finish my list of pedophilia? I'll put that

(24:42):
under "don't ask." Child brides and so forth. "Equality of this sex is, I'll categorize that under,
don't make me fucking laugh." The fact that these people think that this is where they should be
aligned with, that these are the values that you support? I think this past week has been a real

(25:04):
important moment for a moral reckoning on the American left. Because there is a small, and I'm going
to emphasize that, a very small, but growing, an extremely loud faction on the American left that
has revealed its value. I don't know how to be anymore. It was all over. American leftists are now
being miseducated to hate their own country. This breeds a situation where once enemies can proceed

(25:29):
as liberators, and once potential oppressors can be perceived as victims. One moment summed up her
experience of being triggered by American flags. Things I hate about America after spending
lots of time overseas, part one. This one might piss people off, but the patriotism. A flag on every
single street is just simply unnecessary. American flag hats, the American apparel. Just it's everything,

(25:53):
you know what I'm talking about. We push this American agenda on everyone who lives here so hard,
and when we go to other countries, it's just not push that hard. When you go other countries, they
just, they rep their country without being literally annoying about it. This is sad. But holy
a product of Western education, which no longer teaches values and respect for all humanity.

(26:13):
All lives do not matter equally. Some lives are more equal than others, based on their
alleged victim group status. There can be no peace with such toxic ideologies being spread.
Where America no longer is the leader of the free world, spreading liberty and equality,
as an example for all the world to follow, exhibiting peace through strength instead of war

(26:36):
through weakness and hubris. In sum, the biggest threat to the world is not imaginary,
timeless issues like climate change. It is the government's response to climate change.
The biggest threat to America is not terrorism. It is the government's response to terrorism.
The biggest threat to the internet is not misinformation. It is government censorship in the name

(26:57):
of fighting misinformation. The biggest threat to personal safety is not guns. It is not having a
gun when it is vital to one's self-defense. The biggest threat to democracy is not questioning
elections. It is living in a country that does not allow you to question elections. America is
being threatened to the loss of our values, the loss of our constitutional order, the loss of our

(27:21):
moral clarity. In order to stabilize the country, we need to restore our values. And that means
rejecting the divisive and work views being projected from academia and the media, which is
pitting groups against one another. As our money, our freedom, in our country, is being taken from us
right in front of our very eyes. America doesn't need to be invaded by a standing army in order to

(27:45):
be subjugated and taken over. All it needs is millions of people here who no longer share a common
respect for individual rights and freedom and the loss of our moral values. If you found this
video to be informative and thought-provoking, please like, subscribe and share this video to other
people. It's my intention that this is a conversation starter, so we can have a more productive dialogue

(28:10):
about this very complex and often too tragic subject. There are a lot of people's lives at stake
and it's really my intention that we leave together peacefully and harmoniously as much as possible.
It is not my intention to make any person who is caught up in this very complicated subject,
who is innocent, who has not done any harm to anyone, to put them into other groups. Again,

(28:35):
I want to see a world where we're judged by our actions and our moral convictions to treat
each other with respect and dignity. And that should apply to every person regardless of your
ideological view and your background. So thank you for watching. And please comment below.
Please share your thoughts and how we can come to a better understanding of one another's position.
