They say Israel has a PR problem. No. They have a genocide problem.Mohammad Al-Turk reached out from Gaza City and asked for a microphone. We talked for 90 minutes — about October 7th, the journalists Israel has killed for telling the truth, how Gaza was bulldozed neighborhood by neighborhood, the "ceasefire" that hasn't stopped the killing, and why the shift in US public opinion might be the thing that finally changes everything.He's still there.

🌍 Is the Iran ceasefire real — or just a pause before the next escalation?Political scientist and deep state researcher Aaron Good (PhD, Temple University) joins us for one of the most unflinching conversations you will find anywhere on the current state of American power, the war on Iran, and where this is all heading.Aaron has spent two decades building a rigorous academic framework for understanding how power actually operates in the United States — beneath the elections, the press conferences and the official narratives. His book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State and his Patreon podcast have made him one of the most serious independent voices in this space.And that is precisely why you won't see him on CNN.📌 Aaron Good on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/americanexception/home📌 Thomas Karat on Substack: https://karat.substack.com📌 Thomas Karat on Medium: https://medium.com/@thomas.s.karat🔍 In this interview we go deep on:→ Why the Iran ceasefire is fragile by design — and who benefits from permanent instability → The blackmail theory of Trump and Netanyahu: why neither man can stop this war even if they wanted to → How American public ignorance is not accidental — and why educated Americans may be the most dangerously misinformed → The 30-year neoconservative project behind the current conflict — and the 1996 Clean Break Report that mapped it out → Epstein, 9/11 and the architecture of blackmail statecraft → What a genuine endgame looks like — and whether the destruction of the Zionist project is now a prerequisite for global stability⚠️ Why you almost didn't see this videoInterviews like this one are being demonetized, shadow-banned and buried by recommendation algorithms — not because they are wrong, but because they are inconvenient.

🔥Daughter of a fallen CIA operative speaks out… and what she reveals cuts straight through decades of official narratives. Join investigative journalist and bestselling author Charlotte Dennett for a deep, unsettling dive into the hidden architecture of global power—where oil, intelligence agencies, and geopolitical strategy intersect long before the public ever sees the headlines.This isn’t just history. It’s a blueprint.From her father’s covert counterintelligence work in the Middle East to declassified documents exposing secret pipeline agendas, Dennett uncovers a pattern: conflicts framed as ideology, security, or democracy—but driven by one constant force—energy control. 🛢️🔍 What You’ll Discover⚡ The untold story behind the 1947 Saudi Arabia plane crash—and its links to oil politics⚡ How the Iran hostage crisis may have been influenced by elite power interests⚡ The deeper origins of the petrodollar system—and how it reinforces global dependency 💵⚡ Hidden intersections between Zionist projects, pipeline routes, and Cold War strategy⚡ Why regions like the Strait of Hormuz remain at the center of global tensions⚡ The modern energy battleground—from Ukraine to Iran—and how history is repeating itself in new forms🧠 Why This MattersBecause wars rarely start for the reasons we’re told.Behind the rhetoric lies a complex chessboard—dominated by oil giants, intelligence networks, and political elites shaping outcomes from the shadows. Understanding these dynamics isn’t just informative—it’s essential.Ignore them, and you risk accepting manufactured narratives.Understand them, and you begin to see the system behind the spectacle.🎧 Why You Should Watch✔️ Based on declassified documents & firsthand family archives✔️ Decades of investigative research distilled into one conversation✔️ A rare insider perspective on power, oil, and covert operationsWhether you're analyzing media narratives, studying geopolitics, or simply questioning the official story—this episode will challenge your assumptions.🚨 Further Links👉 Charlotte’s Substack: https://chardennett.substack.com👉 Thomas Karat’s Substack: https://karat.substack.comSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

🔥 A former Pentagon insider warns: this could spiral into nuclear war — and trigger a global collapse.In this explosive conversation with Lawrence Wilkerson, we go far beyond the headlines.

🚨 Pete Hegseth stood at a Pentagon podium during an active war and suggested better headlines to journalists. The next day, the FCC threatened broadcast licenses. By Sunday Trump called the networks "Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic."Most people called it authoritarian. That's accurate — but it misses the mechanism.🧠 This video connects the FCC threats to a classified White House memorandum, a NATO doctrine designating the human mind as a sixth domain of warfare, and an EU security framework that classifies legal speech as a threat.Trump and Brussels are enemies on almost everything.

Sibel Edmonds is the most classified person in the history of the United States. Former FBI linguist and whistleblower, she was gagged three times — by the Justice Department, the State Department, and the FBI — for what she uncovered about 9/11 and Operation Gladio.In this conversation, she breaks down:🔹 Operation Gladio A → B — how NATO's Cold War terror network never ended, it just rebranded. Mujahideen, Al-Qaeda, ISIS — same operation, different name.🔹 The Secret Erdogan-Trump-Israel Meeting — what was agreed behind closed doors in September 2025, the Halkbank case, and the orders Turkey received.🔹 6,000 ISIS Fighters Transferred from Syria to Iraq — the CIA convoy operation and what it means for the Iran war.🔹 Plan C: The Syria Model — why the US is now considering deploying jihadi proxies inside Iran.🔹 Christian Fundamentalism in the US Military — soldiers being told Trump is anointed by Jesus Christ to trigger Armageddon.🔹 Why Iran Will Not Fall — the spiritual and cultural depth of Iranian resistance that Western strategists simply cannot comprehend.🔹 Tucker Carlson's contradiction — and the cognitive dissonance being sold to millions of Americans.Sibel Edmonds is the author of A Classified Woman and Lone Gladio, founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, and one of the few analysts with active sources across US intelligence, military, and foreign governments.🔔Further links:Dr. Daniele Ganser: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5ALarry Johnson: https://youtu.be/PCYxa3oyYYQLarry Wilkerson: https://youtu.be/swc9TyPdku4John Kiriakou: https://youtu.be/HSZLMPdMGFQNoam Chomsky: https://youtu.be/vNCcbrqM4ksSibels Social Media:https://x.com/NewsBud_https://www.patreon.com/sibeledmondsMy Substack article God, Guns and Christians:https://karat.substack.com/p/god-guns-and-christian-zealots-in?r=1fs9b🔔 Subscribe for more interviews with people who are not allowed on mainstream media.Time stamps:00:00 Intro06:00 — Introduction & Sibel's Classified Life 09:23 — Operation Gladio A: The Cold War's Secret Terror Network12:11 — The Birth of Gladio B: Manufacturing the Jihadi Enemy 23:00 — The 572K Tweet: Turkey, Israel & the Iran Operation 29:11 — Who to Trust on Iran: Larry Johnson, Wilkerson & the Problem of Measured Analysts 37:12 — Media Bias Since 1988: Palestinians vs. Israelis in the American Press 45:34 — The Boiling Frog: How Americans Were Desensitized 55:21 — Tucker Carlson's Contradiction & Cognitive Dissonance on Iran 1:00:37 — ISIS Prisoners Transferred from Syria to Iraq: The CIA Operation 1:06:20 — The Erdogan-Trump Deal: Halkbank, F-35s & Gladio B Revival 1:12:37 — Plan C — The Syria Model for Iran: Unleashing Jihadis from Within 1:20:55 — The Iranian Revolution: What the West Never Understood 1:28:47 — Mehdi's Story: The Spiritual Depth of Iranian Resistance1:37:26 — Christian Fundamentalism Infiltrates the US Military 1:40:12 — Mega Churches, Zionist Infiltration & American Religious Decay 1:44:25 — A Possible Renaissance — Or Dante's InfernoSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

16 years with the highest intelligence clearance inside NATO — Top Secret. Every document of substance passed across his desk. He was later convicted of high treason and spent 7 years in prison. Western intelligence called him the most dangerous spy in NATO history. He calls himself a man who tried to prevent a nuclear war.In 1983, Soviet nuclear bombers sat on the tarmac with engines running, waiting for the launch order. The world came within hours of Armageddon — and almost nobody knew. Rainer was in the room.Today, as bombs fall on Iran, US bases burn across the Middle East, and the Strait of Hormuz edges toward becoming the most dangerous stretch of water on earth, we sit down with a man who has seen this movie before — from the inside.🔎 In this interview: ⚡ The 1983 Able Archer crisis — how close we really came to nuclear war ⚡ What Cosmic Top Secret clearance actually revealed about NATO's true intentions ⚡ NATO's secret plans to nuke Western Europe — and why Germany walked out ⚡ Iran's underground missile cities and why air superiority is a myth ⚡ The depletion of US and Israeli air defense stocks⚡ China, the Strait of Hormuz, and the 100-day oil countdown ⚡ The Samson Option — how close is Israel to tactical nuclear weapons?⚠️ Join me on Substack: https://karat.substack.com🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an interview. 👇 Share this with someone who needs to hear it.#RainerRupp #NATO #Iran #GeopoliticalCrisis #NuclearWar #AbleArcher #Hormuz #Intelligence #Geopolitics #MiddleEastTime stamps:00:00:00 Intro00:04:51 Guest Introduction / Background00:05:15 Cosmic Top Secret & NATO Intelligence Access00:09:46 The Able Archer Crisis 1983 — Almost Nuclear War00:16:03 NATO's Secret Nuclear War Plans for Western Europe00:25:17 Iran — Setting the Stage00:41:22 US Casualties & Media Lies00:55:14 Iranian Missile Capabilities & Israeli Air Defense Failing00:58:22 US/Israeli Air Defense Depletion01:02:14 Iran's Underground Production & Hidden Launch Sites01:05:05 China, the Strait of Hormuz & the 100-Day Oil Reserve01:16:14 Closing / Al-Aqsa Mosque Story01:22:02 Tactical Nuclear Weapons — How Close Are We?Send us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

In this wide-ranging conversation from The Hague, we sit down with a Dutch peace activist, data analyst, and founder involved in the New Peace Movement to discuss one of the most pressing questions of our time:How are modern wars justified — and who shapes the narrative?Drawing on his background in data analytics and information systems, the guest explains how propaganda, cognitive bias, and modern media ecosystems influence public perception of global conflicts.The discussion moves from AI and information control to the wars in Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran, and examines how narratives are constructed in Western political discourse.Along the way, we explore topics rarely addressed openly in mainstream debate.📌 Topics discussed▪️ Propaganda and cognitive warfare in modern geopolitics▪️ The role of media in shaping narratives about Gaza and the Middle East▪️ NATO, Western military power, and global security structures▪️ The influence of lobbying and political narratives▪️ Historical responsibility and Western foreign policy▪️ Militarization in Europe and the future of diplomacy▪️ Why diplomacy may be disappearing from international politics🌍 About the guestThe guest is a Dutch data analyst, entrepreneur, and peace activist involved in several civil society initiatives, including the New Peace Movement in the Netherlands. His work focuses on exposing propaganda, promoting diplomacy, and challenging the narratives that lead societies toward war.💬 Join the discussionWhat role does propaganda play in modern warfare?Is diplomacy disappearing from international politics?And how should citizens navigate information in an age of narrative warfare?Let us know your thoughts in the comments.📌  Further Links:Tiktok Hostile Takeover:https://karat.substack.com/p/the-incestuous-relationship-betweenMarco Rubio Slips UP: https://karat.substack.com/p/marco-rubio-admits-israel-triggeredThe Velvet Cage: https://karat.substack.com/p/soft-chains-silent-guardswelcomeDutch Diplomat Caught in Iran:https://karat.substack.com/p/a-diplomatic-suitcase-at-imam-khomeiniYouTube:Yassamine Mather: https://youtu.be/UkZmcyq7GqwUS Ambassador Chas Freeman: https://youtu.be/NpuIQEv8QsMUS Ambassador Jack Matlock: https://youtu.be/rpKPrsS6KBsNurit Peled Elhanan: https://youtu.be/Wrqp6rMEV9sChat GPT Bias Test: https://youtu.be/52aKHRKouzEImplicit Association Test Harvard University: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.htmlDutch Peace Movement: nieuwevredesbeweging.nl🔔 Subscribe for more interviews with diplomats, academics, and analysts on geopolitics, propaganda, and international relations.Time stamps:03:00 Introduction04:51 Data, AI, and Information Manipulation11:10 Propaganda and Cognitive Bias16:12 The Collapse of International Law22:54 NATO, Power Politics, and Security33:39 Western Narratives and Global Conflicts43:24 Militarization and Media Influence53:39 Lobbying and Political Power01:03:23 Gaza and the Israel–Palestine Conflict01:07:11 Is There a Way Out?Send us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

🎙️ The US Secretary of State just said the quiet part out loud — on camera, in a Capitol Hill hallway, four days into a war that's already killed six American soldiers.America didn't go to war because Iran threatened the United States. It went to war because Israel was going to strike Iran — and American troops were going to be caught in the retaliation. So Washington struck first. That's not analysis. That's Marco Rubio's own explanation.Then, 24 hours later, Trump publicly contradicted him. With Rubio sitting right there.🔍 In this video I break down: → What Rubio actually admitted and why it matters → The behavioral psychology behind why these accidental confessions happen → What Netanyahu said that nobody in Washington wants you to focus on → Why two completely different war narratives from the same administration in 24 hours is a fracture, not a gaffe📖 The full breakdown — legal implications, shifting justifications, behavioral analysis and the complete paper trail — is on Substack.

🚨 This war didn’t begin because talks failed — it began because they were about to work.In this urgent interview, I speak with Yassamine Mather (Oxford scholar, long-time critic of both the Islamic Republic and Western interventionism) about what this escalation really means — beyond official narratives and media talking points.This conversation cuts through the illusion of “precision strikes,” “regime change,” and “limited war.” We discuss why bombing Iran will not liberate its people, how diplomacy was once again sabotaged at the last moment, and why the region is now entering an unpredictable and extremely dangerous phase.We also examine:• The collapse of negotiations just days before the attack• Civilian casualties and the myth of targeted warfare• Western hypocrisy on nuclear weapons and international law• Why weakening Iran militarily does not help ordinary Iranians• The real risks of regional escalation and fragmentation.This is not a defense of the Iranian regime.It is a rejection of the lie that war equals freedom.🚨 Join me on Substack: https://karat.substack.comTime Stamps:00:00 Intro05:08 – War begins: first reactions to the US–Israel attack08:03 – Diplomacy on the brink: what was about to be agreed13:48 – Precision strikes vs. civilian reality19:58 – Nuclear hypocrisy and double standards27:38 – Regime change fantasies and real consequences36:53 – Worst-case scenarios: escalation, collapse, fragmentationSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

What happens when history is used as a shield instead of a warning?🌍 And what gets erased when the world’s attention shifts elsewhere?As war dominates headlines in Ukraine and tensions escalate with Iran, something else quietly slips out of focus:Gaza. The West Bank. Ongoing occupation, displacement, and mass violence.This conversation refuses that drift.🎙️ My guest is Carolyn Genteler — activist, longtime campaigner for Palestinian rights, and daughter of a Holocaust survivor. She speaks from a position that is rarely given space: inside Jewish history, yet firmly opposed to Zionism and the moral exemptions claimed in its name.This is not a debate about slogans or identity politics.It is a conversation about:🧠 Indoctrination and how it survives generations⚖️ Victimhood — real, inherited, and politically weaponised🚨 October 7th and what it interrupted, not what it began🧱 Checkpoints, arrests, and the everyday mechanics of occupation🚓 Criminalising dissent and why peaceful resistance is now labelled extremism🕯️ The refusal to surrender humanity — even when it would be easier to do soOne moment in this interview cuts to the core:“If my father had gone to Palestine instead of Australia, I could be that soldier.The only difference is that I refuse to lose my humanity.”This is a conversation about memory versus conscience, about how easily violence becomes background noise — and how distraction can be as powerful as denial.📌 If you’re looking for outrage, this isn’t it.📌 If you’re looking for clarity, discomfort, and moral seriousness — you’re in the right place.🔔 Subscribe for long-form interviews on power, propaganda, psychology, and geopolitics📂 Full archives & uncensored work on my Substack: https://karat.substack.com💬 Join the discussion respectfully in the commentsTime stamps:00:00 Introduction – Identity, Holocaust Legacy, and Why Jewish Voices Are Amplified11:02 Zionism vs Judaism – Indoctrination, Victimhood, and Internal Jewish Hierarchies10:34 From Committed Zionist to First Cracks – Israel, Kibbutz Life, and Racism Experienced31:41 Palestine Witnessing – Checkpoints, Arrests, and the Moment You Cannot “Unsee”49:33 October 7th – State Knowledge, Manufactured Consent, and Political Utility57:31 Criminalising Dissent – Palestine Action, Arrests, and the End of Liberal PretenceSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

🧠 What happens when state power no longer needs courts?In this wide-ranging conversation, I speak with Dr. Alexandra Hofer, Assistant Professor of Public International Law, about the quiet transformation of power in Europe — and why sanctions, digital infrastructure, and executive authority are beginning to converge in ways that should concern anyone who values due process and free expression.We start with EU sanctions — not against states, but against individuals. Journalists. Academics. Commentators. What does it mean when financial access can be frozen, travel restricted, and digital life disrupted without a trial?⚖️ Dr. Hofer describes modern sanctions as something that has been called a “civil death penalty” — imposed administratively, often without meaningful judicial review.From there, we zoom out:💳 Financial control and asset freezes🆔 Digital IDs and conditional access🌐 Speech, dissent, and “misinformation” frameworks🏛️ EU executive power vs. democratic accountability🔥 Double standards in international law (Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, Iran)🧩 Why many international lawyers are experiencing a crisis of faith in the rules-based orderThis is not a partisan conversation. It’s a structural one — about how authority now operates, how exceptional measures become normalized, and how quickly legal safeguards can erode once power shifts from courts to councils.If you care about sovereignty, civil liberties, free expression, or the future of democratic systems in a digitized world, this conversation is for you.👉 Follow my work on Substack (https://karat.substack.com): My YouTube reach is increasingly throttled, while Substack remains direct, uncensored, and uninterrupted.🔔 Subscribe • 👍 Like • 💬 Comment — and share if you think this discussion matters.Time Stamps:00:00 Intro04:07 Introduction to Dr. Alexandra Hofer06:05 Understanding State Power and Sanctions10:20 The Evolution of EU Sanction Policies14:12 Consequences of Sanctions on Individual Rights18:00 The Future of State Power and Totalitarianism22:01 Digital IDs and Central Bank Digital Currencies26:18 Censorship and Information Control30:07 Trump's Influence on International Relations34:04 Conclusion and Reflections on Global Power Dynamics35:02 Economic Policies and Their Consequences38:21 The Shift from State Power to Corporate Power41:46 The Role of Data and Surveillance in Society43:34 The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and Statehood48:40 International Law: Hypocrisy and Double Standards55:47 The Crisis of Faith in International Law60:58 The Future of the Dollar and Global Power Dynamics🧠 Long-form interviews, media analysis, and power structures — beyond headlines.Send us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Arab diplomats almost never get to explain the Middle East in their own words.This interview breaks that pattern.In this conversation, I speak with Mohammed Elsoukkary, former Egyptian diplomat and deputy ambassador, about how Egypt actually sees the region it operates in — Israel, Gaza, Iran, and the United States — stripped of Western framing and moral theater.Rather than slogans about “peace” or “escalation,” we talk constraints: why the Egypt–Israel peace treaty still functions as a strategic necessity, why normalization with Israel carries real domestic risks across the Arab world, and why Gaza represents a non-negotiable red line for Cairo.We also explore something rarely discussed publicly: how AI is beginning to shape diplomatic decision-making — and how efficiency can quietly turn into strategic blindness.This is not a debate. It’s a reality check.Further Links:Mohammed’s Substack: https://substack.com/@souksThomas Karat’s Substack: https://karat.substack.comThe Gathering Storm: https://karat.substack.com/p/manufacturing-consent-before-theTime Stamps:05:18 Introduction and Background of Mohammed Elsoukkary08:12 Egypt's Current Geopolitical Landscape11:19 The Evolution of Egypt's Political Landscape14:19 Egypt's Strategic Relationship with the United States17:18 The Role of the Egyptian Foreign Service20:08 The Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty: A Lasting Agreement23:25 Normalization of Relations with Israel: Arab PerspectivesSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

What happens when a veteran from the Associated Press and a behavior analyst sit down—not to agree, but to think out loud?In this wide-ranging conversation, Dan Perry, former AP chief for Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean, joins Thomas S. Karat for an unscripted, sometimes uncomfortable, but deliberately honest exchange about where the world finds itself now—not where it was supposed to be.This is not a checklist interview. It’s a collision of perspectives.Starting from the shockwaves of Trump’s return to power and the strangely insulated atmosphere at Davos, the discussion moves through deeper structural questions: who actually holds power today, which institutions still constrain it, and which ones are quietly eroding. Tariffs, courts, executive authority, and the role of so-called “middle powers” are not treated as abstract policy issues, but as signals—symptoms of a global order that no longer behaves as advertised.The conversation then turns, inevitably, to Israel–Palestine. Not in slogans, not in absolutes, but in hard contradictions. Gaza, Hamas, Israeli politics, resistance, legitimacy, and the narrowing space for political imagination are examined without pretending there are clean answers. Karat presses on how narratives are formed; Perry pushes back from long experience inside global media institutions. At times they agree. Often they don’t. That tension is the point.Running beneath everything is a shared concern—even when conclusions diverge—about democracy under pressure and journalism’s role in that struggle. What happens when media no longer mediates reality but filters it? When courts become political terrain? When public discourse collapses into moral binaries?This interview is for viewers who are less interested in being told what to think, and more interested in understanding how serious people think under conditions of uncertainty, power, and conflict.If you’re looking for comfort, this isn’t it.If you’re looking for clarity through friction—you’re in the right place.🔔 Subscribe for long-form interviews and behavioral analysis of global politics🧠 Thomas S.

What does it look like when a war is being pre-sold—not with one big lie, but with hundreds of small linguistic nudges?In this live conversation, we walk you through a headline-level pattern based on ~230+ articles across multiple countries: Iran is framed as the actor (“threatens,” “refuses,” “days are numbered”), while the U.S. build-up is framed as reaction (“prepares,” “weighs options,” “responds”). If most people only skim headlines, the headline becomes the policy environment.From there, the discussion widens into something darker: the idea that “information space management” isn’t a metaphor anymore—especially with NATO explicitly discussing “cognitive” domains as a theater of competition.Then Reiner Rupp (Reiner Rupp)—a former insider who knew how alliances message and posture—adds the military-strategic layer: deterrence vs provocation, escalation risk, and why “baiting the first shot” is an old playbook that keeps resurfacing in new packaging.This isn’t a “what to think” episode. It’s a “watch how your attention is steered” episode—where the tempo, the repetition, the missing voices, and the shifting justifications are treated as the real story.Further Readings:📌 Manufacturing consent before the bombs drop: https://karat.substack.com/p/manufacturing-consent-before-the🧠 NATO cognitive warfare: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareTime stamps:00:00 — The “headline dataset” move: why headlines are the battleground, not the footnotes07:40 — Defensive U.S. / aggressive Iran framing: how verbs do geopolitics for you18:25 — The urgency drumbeat: “time is running out” as a perception hack32:10 — IRGC designation + rapid synchronization: when policy steps and media tempo converge46:30 — Hard constraints behind the rhetoric: missile-defense depletion, procurement limits, and escalation mathSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

We’re entering a new dark age — and the signs are everywhere.Not just in foreign policy, where international law is treated like a PR costume… but at home, where speech is increasingly policed, dissent is stigmatized, and criticism is quietly rebranded as “hate.”In this interview, former U.S. diplomat Chas Freeman argues we’re watching an epochal shift: the end of the post-war promise that conflict would be restrained by rules, institutions, and law. Instead, power is reverting to something older and uglier — coercion, intimidation, and what Freeman calls a kind of “gangster logic.”And here’s the deeper point: lawlessness abroad doesn’t stay abroad.When states normalize impunity overseas, it boomerangs back into domestic politics — as censorship, surveillance, and control — always framed as “security,” “stability,” or “values.”🧠 In this conversation we explore:why the “rules-based order” is collapsing in real timehow international law is being replaced by raw leveragewhat this means for Europe, NATO, and strategic dependencywhy “hate speech” narratives are increasingly used to silence legitimate criticismhow Western democracies drift toward managed speech and managed realityIf you’re tired of propaganda, moral theater, and mainstream narratives that don’t survive basic scrutiny — this interview is for you.📌 Chapters are included below🔔 Join me on Substack: https://karat.substack.com🔔 Join me on Medium for Euro centric Analysis: https://medium.com/@thomas.s.karat💬 Comment: Do you feel the “dark age” is already here — or still coming?Time Stamps:00:00 Intro00:09:35 — The Shooting: What Really Happened (Narrative vs Reality)00:29:29 — “Mafia Don” Geopolitics (Threats, Leverage, Power Politics)00:40:07 — Ukraine as the Battleground (Spheres of Influence, NATO Logic)01:09:19 — Propaganda, History & Political Theatre (Hitler, Cinema, Mass Psychology)Send us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

🇮🇷 Iran is spiraling out of control again — and the West is already circling.In this interview, I’m joined by Yassamine Mather — an Oxford scholar and razor-sharp political analyst — to break down the new wave of unrest across Iran, what’s driving it, and why Trump may be preparing the ground for “absolute change” in 2026. We don’t just talk about protests. We talk about power, propaganda, and the uncomfortable possibility that some actors are trying to engineer the outcome — using everything from sanctions and currency warfare to fake reels amplified by mainstream media.🎯 In this conversation:Why Trump may see Iran as the next dominoThe hidden war: sanctions, economic collapse & corruptionHow the exchange-rate system enriched elites and crushed ordinary IraniansInternet shutdowns, Starlink leaks, and the fog of information warWhy “fake news” can become real political realityThe Mossad/Pahlavi question — and why protesters reject both Shah and RahbarThe bigger frame: Iran isn’t the target — China is⚠️ Key question:Is this uprising organic, hijacked, or already being shaped into a controlled “transition”?📌 More from meSubstack: https://karat.substack.comMedium: https://medium.com/@thomas.s.karat👉 If you want weekly updates that follow the questions to wherever they’re not supposed to go, you’ll find them there.Send us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

“How Western Media Sells War” is a deep-dive conversation with journalist and broadcaster Patrick Henningsen, founder of 21st Century Wire, on how conflict is packaged, branded, and sold to the public through news and entertainment.We look at:*   How language, imagery, and repetition turn military campaigns into “humanitarian interventions” or “defensive actions”.*   The role of think tanks, PR firms, and political elites in feeding ready‑made narratives into Western newsrooms.*   Why dissenting voices are marginalised, smeared, or algorithmically buried when war agendas are on the table.If this interview opens up more questions, don’t stop here.

🔥 History is never just about the past — it’s a battlefield for the present. In this interview, we explore how elites rewrite historical narratives to manufacture legitimacy, shape public memory, and consolidate political power. From the self-mythology of Ramesses II to the propaganda logic captured by George Orwell’s warning — “Who controls the past controls the future” — we examine how history becomes a strategic instrument rather than a neutral record.We also look at the work of Guido Preparata, whose investigations into the First and Second World Wars challenge the “official story” and expose how finance, strategy, and elite interests were woven into narratives later presented as moral inevitability. What happens when memory itself is engineered? What truths disappear when history becomes a tool of governance?If you’re interested in propaganda, historical mythmaking, power, and the politics of collective memory, this conversation will push you to question how much of the past we truly know — and how much of it has been curated for us.👉 Watch the interview — and ask yourself: Who is writing history, and why?Send us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

“Never Again” is repeated every year. Rarely is it tested.In this interview, I speak with Mark Etkind, the son of a Holocaust survivor who endured the Łódź Ghetto and multiple concentration camps, including Buchenwald. Mark is also a leading voice among Holocaust survivors’ descendants who have spoken out against the destruction of Gaza — a position that has made him deeply controversial within parts of the Jewish community and the political mainstream.Mark challenges the idea that Holocaust remembrance can be safely sealed off from the present. He argues that memory without consequence becomes ritual, and ritual without moral risk becomes cover. When institutions commemorate the Holocaust while remaining silent on Gaza, he sees not neutrality, but evasion.We talk about why drawing historical parallels provokes such intense backlash, where the line between remembrance and politicisation is really drawn, and why “Never Again” loses meaning when it applies only to the past — or only to some victims, and not others.This is not a comfortable conversation. It is not meant to be. But if Holocaust memory is to mean more than ceremony, then voices like Mark Etkind’s demand to be heard.📌 Full context, background analysis, and related writing available on my Substack.📌  https://substack.com/@thomaskaratTime Stamps:00:00 Intro05:50 Who is Mark16:50 Integrating Survivors34:30 Changing a World View46:20 The Greater Israel01:12:55 Jeremy CorbynSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

🔥 Oxford Academic and Iranian Scholar Yassamine Mather takes us deep into the political, historical, and personal terrain behind today’s Iran. And she does it with a clarity and honesty that’s almost disarming. T:his was one of the most surprising and revealing conversations I’ve recorded this year.At one point she casually mentions volunteering for a covert mission in Iran—setting up an underground, anti-government radio station for the fedayeen in the mountains between Tehran and Kurdistan. She tells it as if it were nothing. It’s not nothing. It’s the kind of story that stops you in your tracks.🎓 Based at the University of Oxford, Yassamine brings decades of political analysis, activism, and academic work into the room:• the inner logic of the Iranian state• the failures and fractures of the opposition• the West’s selective outrage• the left’s internal contradictions• why revolutions rarely deliver what people expect• and how exile shapes a political mindAnd beyond the politics, this conversation shows you the person: sharp, thoughtful, funny, and carrying more history than she lets on.We even walked through Oxford afterwards—her university access opening doors to places you almost never get to see. It adds something intimate to the whole encounter.🔔 If you want more interviews like this, make sure to subscribe and hit the bell—though, given the shadow-banning on this channel, I can’t promise YouTube will notify you.

What happens when a superpower writes a national security strategy that sounds less like policy and more like a blueprint for running the world?In this video, I break down the 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy — the tone, the psychology, the imperial reflexes hidden in plain sight — and why Europe, Asia, and the entire international system should be paying close attention.🇺🇸 We look at how the document:Talks at the world rather than to itUses the word “want” 47 times, Revives the Monroe Doctrine as the “Trump Corollary”Frames Europe as pliable, frightened, and financially usefulPulls the entire planet into a U.S.–China confrontationTreats sovereignty as optional for others and automatic for itself🇪🇺 And we examine why Europe should be alarmed:From Germany’s economic dilemma to NATO’s escalating demands, the document positions Europe not as a partner but as a resource — strategically, financially, and psychologically.🌍 The global risk?If this becomes normal, every major power will start writing strategies like this. And that’s how international law collapses into a free-for-all of competing empires.If you want the deeper dive — the linguistic fingerprints, the psychological seams, the reactions from European governments and far-right parties — you’ll find the full written analysis on my Substack.

A Jewish anti-Zionist Holocaust survivor speaks out — and she does so with a clarity and moral weight that few living voices can match.In this rare, unscripted interview, Dr. Agnes Kory reflects on her childhood during the Holocaust and draws unsettling, deeply personal parallels to what she describes as the genocide unfolding in Gaza today. This conversation is not academic. It’s lived experience confronting present violence.Agnes talks about the moment she began questioning the narratives she grew up with, how she ultimately changed her mind about Israel late in life, and the heavy price she paid for doing so — friendships lost, students turning away, entire communities closing their doors. Yet she speaks without bitterness. Only honesty.🔥 In this interview:• 🕯️ How a Holocaust survivor interprets the Gaza genocide• 🔥 The historical parallels she sees — and why they disturb her• 💬 Why she openly opposes Zionism today• 💔 The personal cost of changing her mind after a lifetime of belief• ❤️‍🩹 Her ongoing health struggles after surviving cancer and living with a pacemaker.🎻 The role of art, memory, and conscience in moments of extreme political violence.This is a conversation for viewers who can sit with complexity, follow difficult thoughts, and stay with someone who moves between eras without warning. Agnes doesn’t simplify. She refuses to. And that refusal is what makes this interview so important.👇 For deeper analysis, expanded reflections, and related investigations:📬 Join me on Substack — https://karat.substack.com - that’s where the layers I can’t cover here are opened up properly.Further Links:Rima Tarazi, Music in Hell: https://youtu.be/yjYw7nA67iIProf. Omer Bartov: https://youtu.be/SeAY3PthXoERich Forer, former AIPAC: https://youtu.be/9hQ7x9QBwOsProf. Avi Shlaim: https://youtu.be/F2-Fl-9ocMQProf. Benny Morris: https://youtu.be/IYq7sy9h074Prof. Haim Bresheeth: https://youtu.be/g-I8X-9gy4ATantura Survivor: https://youtu.be/odTzMZmHhPYNurit-Peled Elhanan: https://youtu.be/Wrqp6rMEV9sRami Elhanan: https://youtu.be/0L7Ue1bLn3oTime Stamps:00:00 Intro04:40 Who is Agnes20:55 The road to Genocide40:25 How to escape hate51:35 October 7th01:00:00 Understanding Holocaust01:13:30 Brainwashing and Propaganda01:28:20 The Media01:33:00 The cause of Evil01:42:20 Jeremy Corbyn01:49:40 The last battleSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

If you think propaganda is something you would notice, this interview will change your mind.Today we dismantle the quiet machinery of political language—how governments, media, and corporations weaponise words to steer perception, manufacture consent, and make entire populations believe they arrived at someone else’s conclusions all on their own. We uncover why the most effective propaganda is the kind that hides inside “common sense,” how framing shapes what societies accept as reality, and why linguistic manipulation has replaced brute force as the preferred tool of modern power. Together with my guest  @DrSusanJakob   we go deep into the architecture of persuasion, the psychology of deception, and the rhetorical tricks embedded in speeches, headlines, and national narratives. If you want to understand not just what you’re being told but why it’s being told that way, this conversation takes you right into the operating room of political influence.👉 Susans Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DrSusanJakob 🧠 Join me on Substack: https://karat.substack.com👉 Further links: Piers Robinson: https://youtu.be/7Skk7KCevxQAnalysing Headlines: https://youtu.be/f5th9B4vFnACharlie Kirk: https://youtu.be/a7tF8RRdowkOmer Bartov: https://youtu.be/SeAY3PthXoENoam Chomsky: https://youtu.be/vNCcbrqM4ksBenny Morris: https://youtu.be/IYq7sy9h074Two Wars One Lie: https://karat.substack.com/p/two-wars-one-lieTime Stamps:00:00 Intro03:45 Who is Dr. Susan Jakob06:40 Propaganda12:20 Life in Canada18:30 Murdered and missing indigenous women20:25 The hidden power of words32:50 Deradicalisation41:20 Israele Arabs50:50 The two state solution01:05:20 The UN stabilisation force01:07:25 The right to self defense01:19:05 The right to exist01:27:50 The Israel Palestine conflictSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

What if the "funniest" movie you watched this month was also the most effective piece of propaganda you’ve seen in years?In this video, I break down Heads of State — yes, the John Cena / Idris Elba buddy-comedy — and show you why it’s not just slapstick chaos but a surprisingly sophisticated delivery system for NATO-friendly messaging. The film name-drops NATO 22 times, frames the alliance as a moral protagonist, and even slips in speeches that sound like recycled press releases from Brussels. And that’s not an accident.Because once you look at who produced the movie — Amazon, the same Amazon whose AWS division runs cloud infrastructure for {🛰️} NATO and the U.S. security apparatus — the entire project starts to make a lot more sense.This breakdown digs into how entertainment has become a frontline tool in modern cognitive warfare — not by telling you what to think, but by shaping how you interpret the world before you even realize it. From feel-good heroism to subtle villain archetypes, from fear-priming to “protection from manipulation” messaging, Heads of State uses humor to slip ideology past your defenses. It’s propaganda wrapped in punchlines.I also connect this strategy to {📘} Zbigniew Brzezinski’s “titytainment” concept, NATO’s own documents on cognitive warfare, and the broader shift toward narrative-driven influence operations. This isn’t theory — it’s happening right in front of you.🔍 Full Receipts, Documents & Funding PathwaysIf you want the complete exposé — with names, documents, internal strategies, AWS ties, and the influencer-payoff parallels (yes, including the $150k/month operations) — the full investigation is on my Substack: https://karat.substack.com🎥 What You’ll Learn in This Breakdown:• Why NATO is practically a supporting character in this “comedy”• How entertainment bypasses your cognitive defenses• Why 2025 is the perfect moment for military-aligned messaging• Amazon’s strategic incentives behind producing this film• How humor is weaponized to deliver ideological payloads• Why this fits the classic model of affective warfare• And why it works, even when you’re laughing.If this analysis resonates — or even irritates you in a productive way — subscribe, like, share, or leave a comment.

In today’s interview, I sit down with Erik Lawyer, a former firefighter, first responder, and founder of Firefighters for 9/11 Truth — one of the most prominent voices calling for a re-examination of the events surrounding the September 11 attacks.Erik brings something few others can: firsthand experience, technical understanding of building failures, and a rare level of professional courage. In this conversation, we break through the noise and look at what Erik and thousands of firefighters, engineers, and investigators have identified as unanswered questions about the collapse of the World Trade Center towers — and why those questions still matter more than ever today.We cover:• What Erik witnessed as a firefighter responding to major structural incidents• The moment he realized the official narrative didn’t fit the evidence• Why so many firefighters believe the investigation into 9/11 was fundamentally incomplete• The science behind controlled demolitions, free-fall collapses, and explosive residue• The emotional and psychological toll on first responders who dared to speak out• Why the push for a new, independent investigation has only grown strongerThis is not about partisan politics. It’s not about conspiracy for conspiracy’s sake. It’s about truth, accountability, and respect for the people who died — and the people who risked everything trying to save them.If you value critical thinking, open inquiry, and evidence-based analysis, this is an interview you do not want to miss.For deeper research, documents, and extended commentary, join me on Substack, where the conversation continues without censorship or algorithmic throttling:👉 https://karat.substack.com👉 Further Links:Firefighters for 9/11: https://www.911firefighters.org/aboutCalling out Bravo 7: https://www.911firefighters.org/watch-calling-out-bravo-7Richard Gage, Engineers & Architects for 9/11: https://youtu.be/q1DSNS3YX-UDr. Daniele Ganser: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5ADr. Piers Robinson: https://youtu.be/7Skk7KCevxQPAPA: https://www.protectingall.orgSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Fact-checkers aren’t neutral and not independent.They’re not referees.And they’re definitely not here to “protect” you.In this investigation, I break down how Western “fact-checking” has quietly merged with NATO’s cognitive-warfare strategy — a system that targets public perception as a battlefield. We go into the doctrine, the networks, the money, and the soft-power ecosystem behind it all.From the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) — the U.S. government’s velvet-glove influence machine — to the EU’s East StratCom, the Atlantic Council’s DFRLab, and the Pentagon-linked Graphika and Moonshot teams, this is the infrastructure that decides what you’re “allowed” to believe.And as if that wasn’t enough, we look at Israel’s Esther Project — a covert influencer operation paying up to $150,000/month to slip propaganda between latte art, skincare routines, and makeup tutorials. That’s not accidental. That’s cognitive warfare in its purest form.If you’ve ever wondered why certain narratives get labeled “misinformation” the moment they threaten geopolitical interests, this video lays out exactly how the machine works — step by step, without euphemisms.👇 Full investigation with sources, documents, and receipts(The long-form exposé includes names, funding trails, and the architecture behind the “truth-management” industry.)📝 Substack: https://karat.substack.com 👇 Watch the full breakdown of Israel’s Esther Project🎥 YouTube: https://youtu.be/nZ_My5eg9_4If this video gave you something to think about — a spark, an irritation, a raised eyebrow — then liking, commenting, and sharing helps a lot.

You have been lied to! Thanks to Tucker Carlson 9/11 is back in the news.Join us for a uncompromising interview with Dr. Piers Robinson — an academic whose work sits at the intersection of media studies, propaganda research and the enduring legacy of 9/11. Over the next hour we dig deep into how mainstream media framed 9/11, how state and corporate actors shaped the information environment, and why many questions remain unasked.📌 In this conversation we cover:* How Piers’ research on the ‘Propaganda Studies’ field challenges conventional assumptions of news-media independence. * The mechanics of wartime propaganda: how governments, intelligence services and corporate media collaborate to manufacture consent. * Why 9/11 functions as a “structural deep event”  — an event so momentous it resets the political/media terrain for years. *What this history means for today’s media-ecosystem, disinformation-waves and our ability to ask hard questions.🔍 Whether you’re sceptical of the official narrative, curious about media power, or committed to understanding what lies beneath public discourse — this interview will challenge, provoke and deepen your understanding.🎙 Guest Bio – Piers RobinsonPiers Robinson is British, holds a PhD in political communication, and served as a lecturer at universities including University of Sheffield. He is co-director of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies and Research Director at the International Center for 9/11 Justice. His work has stirred controversy for its forensic approach to how media, war and power interact.🧠 Why this matters nowNearly a quarter century after 9/11, the media-state nexus has only grown more complex. As disinformation, strategic communications and state influence campaigns proliferate, revisiting how the media responded to historic turning points is essential. This interview isn’t just about 9/11 — it’s about our society’s capacity to question the frame before the facts.👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, hit the bell icon, and drop your questions in the comments.

Your Brain is the New Frontline in a War most people don’t even know Exists.In this presentation, I connect my investigations into digital ID systems, chat control laws, cognitive warfare programs, and EU policy CFSP 2025/966 — showing how they merge into one coordinated framework of surveillance and behavioral control across Western democracies.And right as I was preparing this talk, Donald Trump signed NSPM-7 — a national-security directive that effectively turns personal beliefs into potential “threat indicators. ”Yes — your thoughts can now be profiled under the banner of “security.”This is now documented policy — and it reveals how fast the West is sliding toward algorithmic governance and pre-emptive policing of consciousness itself.If you’ve followed my work on Substack and YouTube, you’ll recognize the through-line: NATO’s cognitive warfare doctrine, digital identity infrastructure, predictive AI surveillance — and how they’re quietly re-engineering what it means to be a “free” citizen.So stay until the end.

People love to say Ireland is Palestine and Palestine is Ireland.It sounds poetic — until you look closer.In this conversation, we go past the easy parallels and into the harder truth: why these two histories can’t be neatly compared — and what that misunderstanding reveals about empire, memory, and moral storytelling today.Brendan Browne, from the north of Ireland, has spent years studying the spaces where history still bleeds into the present. His work asks a different kind of question: not how conflicts echo each other, but how power teaches us to mistake those echoes for sameness.If you’ve ever wondered how colonial thinking still shapes modern conflicts — how the language of “peace,” “security,” and “stability” keeps the old hierarchies alive — this interview will make you stop and think.🧭 Watch till the end for a reflection on what it really means to “decolonize” thought — and how to see through the moral geometry of empire that still frames our world today.🎙️ Subscribe on Substack for deeper analysis: https://karat.substack.com/📺 Explore the archive: https://www.youtube.com/@saltcubeanalyticsFurther Links:Billionaire Takeover of Gaza: https://karat.substack.com/p/billionaire-takeover-of-gazaEsther Project: Israel Secretly Paid U.S. Influencers to Manipulate Public Opinion https://karat.substack.com/p/israel-secretly-paid-us-influencersTiktok, The Incestuous Relationship Between TikTok, Oracle & The Pentagon: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-incestuous-relationship-betweenTikTok is being smashed for Oracle, The Pentagon - and Israel: https://youtu.be/H2cu2-YoRooCognitive Warfare: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareTantura survivor: https://youtu.be/odTzMZmHhPYDaughter of Tantura perpetrator: https://youtu.be/Ym6SBfWm-4YIlan Pappe: https://youtu.be/KTLkQvTTFbw Gideon Levy: https://youtu.be/huTCYl8tm3gTime Stamps:00:00 Intro02:45 Who is Brendan04:15 The analogy of Ireland17:00 Transitional justice20:35 Trumps latest peace deal27:50 Tony Blair ruling Gaza30:30 The hidden tentacles of Israel40:15 Evidence and accountability43:35 Tantura50:20 The collapse of international law54:00 Pushback57:35 The end of enlightenment 01:02:20 Lawfare01:11:20 Digital Id’s, CBDC’s01:17:40 North Ireland#Ireland #Palestine #Colonialism #Empire #Geopolitics #MediaNarratives #ConflictAnalysis #Postcolonial #History #PoliticsSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Why is it that every time Israel is involved, the rules of journalism suddenly change?The press is supposed to challenge power — not amplify it. But what happens when journalists stop asking questions and start serving as the megaphone of the state? In this conversation, we follow veteran correspondent Patrick Lawrence, who spent decades inside the system — The International Herald Tribune and beyond — before realizing just how much the media had changed. This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience from inside the machine.Together, we unpack how censorship now works without censors, how dissent gets erased by algorithms and “editorial priorities,” and how the line between information and propaganda has almost disappeared. We talk about:• the illusion of press freedom in the West,• how stories on Gaza and Ukraine are framed to serve power,• what the assassination of Charlie Kirk says about who’s allowed to speak,• and how the Zionisation of American politics quietly shapes what the public sees — and what it’s forbidden to ask.If you’re tired of being told what to think, this conversation is for you.📺 Watch, think, question.And if you want more deep, uncensored conversations like this, hit subscribe and tap the bell 🔔 — it helps more than you know.👇 Further Links:The Kirk narrative does not hold (Patrick Lawrence):https://thefloutist.substack.com/p/the-kirk-narrative-doesnt-holdCharlie Kirk’s Assassination Webcast (Thomas Karat): https://youtu.be/a7tF8RRdowkCharlie Kirk’s assassination a right wing power grab (Thomas Karat): https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination?r=1fs9bBillionaire Takeover of Gaza:https://karat.substack.com/p/billionaire-takeover-of-gazaPalestinian Voices (MariAnna Cara);https://winterwheat.substack.com/s/palestinian-voices?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=menuThe Incestuous Relationship Between TikTok, Oracle & The Pentagon: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-incestuous-relationship-betweenMy article about influencers: https://karat.substack.com/p/israel-secretly-paid-us-influencers?r=1fs9bMy article about Tiktok: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-incestuous-relationship-between?r=1fs9bUniversity of Alaska: A Structural Reevaluation of the Collapse of World Trade Center 7: https://ine.uaf.edu/wtc7Talk Liberation: https://talkliberation.com/Larry Johnson: https://youtu.be/PCYxa3oyYYQPatrick Baab: https://youtu.be/AJZMb8KxGn4Anna Chen, former BBC: https://youtu.be/yT7wzi8KWl0Dr. Daniele Ganser, Project Gladio: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5AEmr.

⚡Trump’s “Peace Plan” = Gaza Fire Sale.Forget ceasefires and sovereignty. What we’re looking at is colonialism with a facelift. Donald Trump struts into the UN with a 21-point “peace plan.” Tony Blair — Bush’s poodle, Iraq’s salesman-in-chief — gets crowned head of a brand-new Gaza International Transitional Authority. And who bankrolls it all? Larry Ellison. Oracle boss. Netanyahu’s billionaire buddy. The man who brags about tracking everyone, everywhere, all the time.📌 The leaked draft tells the story:* Palestinians sidelined to a token seat.* Billionaires and investors handed control.* A “property rights” clause that green-lights displacement.* An “investment promotion authority” to carve Gaza into a neoliberal theme park.This isn’t reconstruction. It’s a hostile takeover. Bomb, starve, privatize, control. Gaza today, maybe Lebanon or Jordan tomorrow. Same playbook.And the UN? Even Sigrid Kaag gets dragged into the rumor mill to sprinkle legitimacy on the scam. Neutral? Please.

Leaked U.S. Department of Justice filings have exposed Israels “Esther Project” — a covert Israeli government campaign paying American influencers to quietly push pro-Israel content across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, while bombs were falling on Gaza, another kind of war was raging online.Creators were given “personal” scripts, emotional talking points, and up to $7,000 per post — without ever revealing who was funding them.Documents show a Delaware shell company, registered as a foreign agent for Israel, funneled ministry money through PR firms to build what the DOJ now calls a digital “influence operation.”Meta later flagged parts of the network as “coordinated inauthentic behavior.”This clip breaks down how governments turn propaganda into “content” — and how easily social media becomes a battlefield for public opinion.📚 Full Report: Read “Israel Secretly Paid U.S. Influencers to Manipulate Public Opinion” — a 5,000-word investigation with every document and verified source:  👉 https://karat.substack.com#EstherProject #IsraelInfluenceOps #InformationWarfare #FARA #Hasbara #SocialMediaPropaganda #DigitalDiplomacy #KaratInvestigatesSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

🔥 Once a BBC broadcaster, now shut out of mainstream media — Anna Chen says the silence isn’t accidental.But Anna doesn’t pull her punches. In this interview she takes on the myths of Western “enlightenment,” the U.S. pivot to Asia, Europe’s deindustrialization, and the weaponization of COVID. Her words cut through the noise — calling America a Viking raiding party, exposing Hong Kong’s dirty money networks, and warning that the jaws of surveillance are already closing.📌 Along the way, I weave in my own investigations — on NATO’s cognitive warfare program, the EU’s censorship law CFSP 2025/966, and the “velvet cage” of digital IDs and financial control. What makes this talk powerful is not agreement, but the clash of perspectives: Anna takes those threads and pushes them further, sharper, and often into territory the mainstream won’t touch.🎭 From Hollywood caricatures of Chinese women to the geopolitics of Taiwan and Europe, Anna shows how culture, history, and empire are never separate.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination isn’t just another headline. It’s a political earthquake.And here’s the part no one dares to say out loud: his death was good for Israel.This video unpacks the timing, the foreign interests, and the eerie historical echoes — from JFK’s showdown with Ben-Gurion over Israel’s nuclear ambitions, to today’s convenient silencing of voices that complicate Tel Aviv’s narrative.Ask yourself: why did Netanyahu rush to praise Kirk within minutes of the shooting? Why would Israel — a country Kirk openly criticized — suddenly frame him as a “friend”? And why do the same media outlets that whitewash Western wars now control the story of his death?We connect the dots the mainstream won’t touch:💥 The strange speed of official reactions🕵️ The historical pattern of assassinations that benefit Israel📺 How media spin buries uncomfortable truths⚔️ And what this means for America’s political futureThis isn’t speculation. It’s a hard look at power, propaganda, and the beneficiaries of political murder.📌 Full investigation with sources → https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination👉 Interviews:JFK’s Assassination was good for Israel: https://youtu.be/ncDDOEVQCfcDr. Daniele Ganser: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5ASend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

British Army Colonel, son of Holocaust survivors, was arrested in London for holding a placard that said: ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.Chris Romberg — 75 years old, former defence attaché in Egypt and Jordan, son of Holocaust survivors — was among the 522 people arrested at a peaceful protest in Parliament Square after the UK government proscribed Palestine Action under anti-terror laws. Arrested for holding a simple placard reading “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” — something now criminalised under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act. Romberg says this was his first arrest ever. In this interview, Romberg speaks out about how peaceful dissent is being branded as terrorism, about legal overreach, and about what it means when states invoke national security in secret. He reflects on why he risked arrest, motivated by his family history, his service, and what he witnessed in the Middle East. He asks what kind of government punishes someone for holding a sign, and what precedents are being set for free speech and democracy. 🔔 Subscribe to stay informed with first-hand accounts and critical analyses of how state power, protest, and democracy are intersecting.📌 Further Links:NATO’s cognitive warfare program: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareDigital ID’s: https://karat.substack.com/p/scanned-scored-silencedCFSP 2025/966: https://karat.substack.com/p/pay-obey-or-get-de-bankedKaja Kasllas: https://karat.substack.com/p/how-unelected-bureaucrats-are-steering📌 Interviews:Jordans former foreign Minister: https://youtu.be/QMhITHMem4UGiddeon Gideon Levy: https://youtu.be/huTCYl8tm3gNoam Chomsky: https://youtu.be/vNCcbrqM4ksKen McCarthy: https://youtu.be/VZ2PzhTwIb0Survivor of the Tantura massacre: https://youtu.be/odTzMZmHhPYYael, Daughter of Tantura perpetrator: https://youtu.be/Ym6SBfWm-4YRich Rorer, former AIPAC: https://youtu.be/9hQ7x9QBwOsYour iPhone is a Snitch: https://youtu.be/EPWHw3VxXCsSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Charlie Kirk is dead. But the bigger story is what happened in the hours after the shot was fired. Tributes from Trump and Netanyahu rolled out in sync. Israeli media went into overdrive. The White House promised the Medal of Freedom. And suddenly, a fractured American right was re-stitched together under the banner of “shared grief.”This video digs deeper than the headlines. We look at:👉Why officials blamed “leftist ideology” and Discord footprints—and why Discord itself pushed back.👉How Netanyahu and Trump seized the narrative within minutes.👉Why Israel, under fire for its strike on Qatar, gained political cover at the perfect moment.👉And how Kirk’s death is being weaponized to lock the U.S.–Israel alliance even tighter.This isn’t about lone gunmen or tinfoil theories. It’s about power—who gains, who loses, and how the script gets written before the body is cold.📌 Read the full investigative breakdown on Substack: https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination?r=1fs9b📌 Follow for more deep-dive reports: https://karat.substack.com/👉 Don’t just watch the news.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination isn’t just a tragedy — it’s a script. Within 20 minutes, Netanyahu had a eulogy online. Within an hour, U.S. media had already pinned blame on the left. Too fast. Too clean. Too rehearsed.This deep-dive connects the dots between Kirk’s killing and a long history of “strategy of tension” politics — from Operation Gladio in Cold War Europe to modern algorithmic psy-ops. We ask the questions mainstream outlets won’t touch:* Who benefits from Kirk’s death?* Why did Israel’s Prime Minister move faster than U.S. authorities?* How is the right weaponizing his martyrdom to justify censorship and crackdowns?* And what does this mean for dissent in America, right now?👉 Watch as we break down the timeline, the media blitz, and the eerie historical echoes — and expose how assassinations become power grabs in plain sight.⚠️ Full source-rich report available here: https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination?r=1fs9bFurther Links:Cognitive warfare:https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareCouncil decision CSFP 2025: https://karat.substack.com/p/pay-obey-or-get-de-bankedDigital IDs:https://karat.substack.com/p/scanned-scored-silenced?r=1fs9bDr. Daniele Ganser interview:https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5A#CharlieKirk #Assassination #Gladio #FalseFlag #Authoritarianism #MediaPropagandaSend us Fan MailDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.
