Operation Epstein Fury

What's up everybody? Welcome to another Midwestern Marks live stream in the midst of war on Iran, Operation Epstein's Fury. [laughter] I can't believe they I still can't believe they went with Epic Fury because not only does that sound like something a Reddit moderator would come up with, but the initials are EF. Like, these people are so stupid. They made it too easy for us. Um, but I streamed last night obviously we talked about kind of all the basic things that are going on. Want to talk a little bit more about it today with Carlos. Um, get his take on some of the things we discussed yesterday. And also, um, I think it's interesting to look at the MAGA base and the way that they're reacting to this. Um obviously X um and Tik Tok the algorithms have both been like very obviously altered um in a probar direction immediately when this happened. Um but at the same time like there's only so much they can do. There are people like ratioing the White House. There are, you know, hardcore Trump supporters talking about how they got scammed getting hundreds of thousands of likes. There are people calling this Operation Epstein Fury and calling the president a pedto and getting hundreds of thousands of likes. So, it's just is very interesting. It does feel like we're uh witnessing the decline of the American empire in a lot of ways. Um MTG on fire. Someone says, "Yeah, you have Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massie just going off on the Republican party that they were that Thomas Massiey's still a part of and that MTG at least used to be a part of. So, um, yeah, it's very interesting. Um, what do you got to say just to start the stream, Carlos? >> Yeah, there's a lot of elements that point towards a hopeful situation, a hopeful development in the US, but there's others that don't. Um, I'm seeing a lot of the MAGA base, especially like the dissident, quoteunquote dissident right-wingers breaking very explicitly now with Trump. But uh there's I think a concerted effort to channel all of that energy into the Democrats and into the two party duopoly. And look what's happening now with Trump is what happened to us with Bernie in 2020. And uh the thing was that with Bernie in 2020, no one derived the lesson that they should have, which is that the only way to do politics that keeps up the rational kernel, the spirit that motivated millions of young people around the country to canvas for Bernie, the only way to do that in a genuine substantial way is outside of the two-party duopoly. That lesson was not captured. I mean, except for like people like us and, you know, the the institution that now is embodied by the ACP, but you still have people like Kolinsky who have very interesting commentaries, but it's extremely pro-democrat. And I fear that this is that moment for uh the MAGA base, but I don't know if the framework is there for people to move beyond the two-party duopoly. And I see concerted efforts from major influencers to push them back into uh the Democrats and back into other forms of participating in this two-party uh circus. >> Absolutely. And there's a video from 2008 of Hillary Clinton saying that she's going to invade Iran. Um so this idea that we just need to, you know, what Nick Fuentes told Alex Jones recently that we all just need to vote Democrat. This is completely absurd. Van Jones and these other scumbags are pushing pro-war propaganda. Um, people are just so scared to be they're scared of the word communism and they're scared to be a part of an actually revolutionary party like the one that led the revolution in Iran in uh 1979. And that's obviously what we're building at the ACP, but it's on us too to get bigger and to get more relevant so people are aware that there's a third option. A lot of people aren't aware that there's um an option outside of the two-party duopoly. They think that they're stuck. Um and it's the job of people like Nick Fuentes to, you know, um ensure that people don't figure it out, that people remain trapped in that sort of false dialectic between the Democrats and the Republicans. Um Quent has said that. Yeah. He said, "We need to vote Democrat so we can punish Trump." As if, you know, what's that going to do? especially if the war in Iran is still going on two and a half years from now. Like the Democrats are going to continue it. They're not going to pull out. Um so it's completely ridiculous, but that's what we're here for and that's why we got to build the party little by little, wake people up. But you got anything else you want to add, Carlos, before we play the intro? >> No. Let's get started. >> Let's roll it. High sheriff [music] hazard is a hard man [music] to be high sheriff is [music and singing] his only plan. He digs through [music] pockets takes [singing] what he can for [music] he sharing hazard. [music] He called me one evening and here's what he said. [music] You look [singing] like a Russian. You [music] look like a red. And if you're fond of [music] your skin and your head, beware [singing] the [music] share of love has [music] [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] >> The [music] answer is simple. The answer is clear. We all get together. [music] ain't got nothing to fear. We throw the old [music] bastard right out [singing] on his ear. [music] Farewell to Hasher Hazer. All right. So, I think we're all in agreement that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. War is the only way. That's my favorite talking point of all of these cuz there's nothing that makes it more likely that Iran will produce a nuclear weapon than killing the Ayatollah. Um I mean first Trump pulled out of the Iran deal which ensured that Iran's energy I mean their nuclear um facilities would be monitored 247 by the IAEA. So Iran allowed this westernbacked institution to come in and monitor their nuclear program 247 and the IAEA has come out and said repeatedly including a day ago that Iran has never tried to proliferate a nuclear weapon. what they use their nuclear program for, and this will sound amaz to Americans because our government doesn't actually do anything for regular people, but they use it to produce energy for regular working-class people, and they use it to create medical isotopes for their health care system. Um, and you know, now we're seeing that they probably should have been using it to create a nuclear weapon. They probably should have never agreed to the Iran deal because the US was going to invade them anyways. It's like the more you give to the US, the more you appease them, the the more you're going to get your homes destroyed um and your your people bombed. And this is the thing about the DPRK and why I think the DPRK is literally the best country on earth, bar none, because they have no illusions about the United States. They never bought into this nonsense. They said, "No, you killed 20% of our population and leveled every building over two stories tall. So, we are going to make a nuke. And what the hell are you going to do about it, pussy?" And the US hasn't done anything about it because they can't because the DPRK would nuke them off the face of the earth if they tried. Um, so people say they're crazy, right? But they're actually the most rational and pragmatic of all these countries. All of these countries should be looking to create a nuclear weapon. None of them should be listening to what the US says and trying to appease them. And if you want to, you're going to end up like Venezuela just embarrassing yourself with all of these statements. Um, you know, where everybody knows you're being worked like a puppet by the United States. Um, you know, and I get what people are saying about a tactical retreat or whatever, but I don't see it as that. I see it as them being a hostage government of the US at this point. Um, and I hope the people in Venezuela rise up and take their country back from this US hostage regime, I guess we would call it. I've never seen anything like it. What's going on there? I almost don't want to talk about it because it disgusts me. Um, but yeah. Well, the best analogy I've seen uh for that and I don't know if it's fully the case yet, but um all signs seem to point in that direction, irrespective of some of the cope sadly that I'm seeing from a lot of the friends and comrades that I've made over there. Uh it was an analogy that was given to me by Sassi Alejandre, a Mexican journalist I interviewed recently on the Spanish channel. uh which was that of the Vichi government in France where the Germans didn't have to technically colonize France because they had an administration that was still French that looked very French that spoke French that did everything in France but that was essentially just a puppet of Germany uh and did accomplish the same goals that Germany um would have otherwise uh accomplished had it just colonized completely and removed uh any sort of a French looking uh governance. over France. So, um I don't think the the fate is sealed. We'll see. But the stuff that I have seen and you know, we've had many private conversations about this. I am extremely disappointed. Um I feel like I was made a fool of because I made many statements about how revolutionary Venezuela was. um how they were willing to die on principle and do all these things that very clearly now they're demonstrating that's not the case. And uh different countries have their different paths um towards advancing whatever they uh claim to be advancing. But what's sad for me is that I thought there were a a a process that was more like Cuba and it turns out they're more like Lula Dovva in Brazil. at least in the moments when it counts. Or if that's not the case, then that's what it's turned to with the recent administration. And um you know, these are not things that I want to be saying. These are not things I was even saying a week ago, even though I was maybe thinking it. But um if we don't speak out and if we don't say stuff, and look, all of us support the Travis process. We want it to succeed. We love the Boulevard Revolution. It's the um the place that studying it made Eddie a communist, you know. So, we have so much love for the Venezuelan revolution. And we don't want to say this [ __ ] but you know, there's only so much that one can see and try to negate um and stick their hands in the sand before before commenting. So, I don't know. The the question that keeps popping up in my mind is is this 78 in China or is this you know late 80s Soviet Union is it perhaps last night or is it reform and opening up and I think there's signs towards it being uh the former uh unfortunately >> but finish no I just think this is a good question too because it's easy to say that you know when you're not in that situation are you willing to die on principle but and I you know, that'll be proven with time and practice, but I'd like to say yes. I'd like to say that I wouldn't be selling out to the US government that I'd be in the jungles fighting it. And you know, we are not on the same level as them. We're not getting bombed and drone strike, but we are risking our livelihoods um every day by being communists in the United States and by directly challenging the bankers and the Epstein class in Israel. Um, and I would like to say, yeah, I am willing to go to the grave for those principles. Um, everybody dies at some point. Um, a lot of people in America will die from obesity, from snacks. You know, if people are willing to die from McDonald's, um, because they don't have enough self-control to to exercise, I should be willing to die for my political principles, which are, you know, are true and just. So, but time will tell. Time will tell. Got to prove that with action. That's the only way you show that you had something worth living for. When you develop something that you know you are willing to die for. And you can't do what we have done which is form a communist party in this country that doesn't mince its words uh that says things how they have to be said and not know that you know that fate is always a possibility. And as time develops and as we become more successful in terms of growing the party, uh the likelier that possibility is. So are we standing on principle? Yeah, we know that anything could be coming for us at any moment, but we have our beliefs. We have our principles and we're willing to stick by it. You know why? Because we're also good American patriots. We're good American patriots. And we heard once from Patrick Henry that um you know we rather it was restated by Sapata and then but we rather live uh and die on our feet than um live on our knees whatever the you know the quote is give me liberty or give me death that's the Patrick Henry one. So, but um there was something I wanted to say before to the previous comment you had made and we ended up going on the whole Venezuela um tangent, but uh I had a conversation with a leader of the Communist Party proletarian action from Chile. Um and we discussed the topic that that you were mentioning of the development of nuclear weapons and an advanced uh military arsenal. And what people have to understand is that the biggest uh hits, the biggest pains for not learning from the past are going to be faced by the people. You could have avoided 1973 Chile had they actually listened to the theory. You know, the theory is not there for no reason. The theory is there to help us receive the insights and the lessons and the wisdoms from past experiences. Those that succeeded for why they succeeded and how they could have been better and those that failed for why they failed and how they could have succeeded. And if there's a lesson that the Marxists have known since 18 1871 with the Paris commune is that you need to develop a dictatorship of the proletariat. And that ability to dictate and enforce the will of the people over the rest of society in the international and geopolitical arena means the ability to have the strength to defend your sovereignty. which means today in 2026 having nuclear weapons and advanced weaponry so that you have some sort of a force of deterrent. If you didn't learn this through 1871, okay, you went alive. You should have read it, but okay, you went alive. That's fine. You could have learned it through 1973. Some of the people that I, you know, see commenting are old enough to remember 1973. A lot of them didn't learn that lesson then. But every person that is alive and active in politics now should have learned the same lesson from Libya. Libya had a nuclear uh weapons, a nuclear program, a nuclear enrichment program that it stopped right when the US had proclaimed the development of the new American century and this whole neoonservative um imperialist agenda of dominating the whole world and proclaiming this axis of evil in Iraq, Libya and the DPRK. Libya which was the most prosperous country in Africa which had a panaffrican vision that's was trying to do 20 years ago what we all see and praise in the AES in the alliance of states now Libya stopped developing its uh its advanced weaponries because it trusted in the US and within 10 years Gaddafi gets absolutely massacred and slave markets return to Libya and now Libya is one of the poorest and most uh crimeridden countries in Africa completely turned into its opposite and of the sort of devilish manifestation of that old Hegelian law of something turning into its opposite. So why why not learn from these these lessons of of history? Who hasn't who's sleeping peacefully at night every single night? It's Kim Jong-un, you know, and it's not that we want to lar and and just you know that we just appreciate his aura. No, he's able to a farm successfully cuz he actually has the power to back it up cuz he's done what you have to do in order to make sure that you're not [ __ ] with by the US, which is develop advanced weaponry. And I love um the Iranian revolution. It's a very interesting revolutionary process. Ayatahi is a very principled man, but the position that they had on the development of nuclear weapons, I think was incorrect. And now that u he's been martyed, you know, God bless his soul and he rest in power. Hopefully um hopefully that that fatwa on the nuclear weapons uh gets removed and they can develop that rapidly and I hope every country struggling against imperialism can have weapons of that kind because it's only fair. You know, one of the great heroes and I'll end with this comment. One of the great heroes that we don't talk about anywhere near enough as we should, American heroes, you know that on American socialism, we'll have statues of them all over the place, is the Rosenbergs, the Jewish couple that literally gave the Soviet Union the secrets through which they were able to build their own nuclear weapons. Without that, buddy, uh, everything would have been cooked, you know. And it's not that we support treason, of course not. were American patriots. But if you don't have a means of deterrent against US imperialism, that's going to not just affect the world because the US is just going to put its dick on the table wherever it goes because they don't have nuclear weapons and they do. But as we well know, everything the US does abroad comes back home at us, the American people. But when the US weakens the struggle against imperialism and all these anti-imperialist states, it's also simultaneously weakening the power of the American working class. >> Yep. That's why I love when Jackson goes to Africa and he just goes, "Africa needs nuclear bombs." And everyone's like, "Yeah." Like, [laughter] yes, they're learning of they they know the truth. It's this weird um effect where nuclear weapons lead to more peace. If you have only one country in the world that has nuclear bombs and they're run by pedophile bankers, they're going to use those nuclear bombs to rule the whole world and to crush all opposition. Um, so in a world like that where you have these disgusting liars and freaks like Donald Trump, um, you need countries like the DPRK who fight for peace and sovereignty and socialism to to have their own deterrent. Um it's it's proven to be the only way. So yeah, and and it wouldn't be difficult to uh um remove that fatwa. There just needs to be enough uh religious and political will in the country, which I'm sure there is now that their elementary schools are getting bombed by the US, which goes back to my earlier point that this justification from Netanyahu and Trump is just [ __ ] hilarious. It's hilarious. It's like nobody with two brain cells believes this, that they're stopping Iran from getting a nuke. Uh Iran had a law in their country that said they wouldn't get a nuke. Um and now the guy who made that law has been assassinated and is probably going to be replaced with somebody who's more likely to build a nuke. Um and you're going to create the religious and political will in their country to create one by bombing, you know, hundreds of school children and whatnot. So, um hopefully Iran learns learns that lesson and starts building it up. Um but Iran does have some pretty powerful weaponry. Um right now they've been using all of their older drones, all of their old uh cheap um stuff to try and deplete the Israeli Iron Dome and try and deplete US missiles, which I think they are. I really am cautious about being too optimistic here. Um but I I really do think that uh the US doesn't really have the capac. It's overextended across the world and I don't think we have the industrial capacity here at home to produce the weapons um that are needed for this conflict or to um continue giving those weapons to Israel and those uh Iron Dome defenses to Israel. So what Iran's strategy seems to be is deplete their existing weaponry ex deplete their existing stockpile of missiles and iron dome whatever deterrence um and then hit them with the big stuff hit them with the hypersonics um so hopefully that's what happens even though it's tragic for me because I have friends who are deployed in Syria and you know we know Americans who are over there but it's like what can I do? I tried to warn them. I told them that the government was run by a bunch of freaks and bankers. They didn't listen and now they're going to die for Epstein. So, sorry guys, it hurts my heart, but I tried to warn you. Um, you know, also this is big news. This just happened like an hour ago. So, Iran Oops. I got to share my screen first. Iran has closed the straight of Hormuz. Um, YouTube suppress >> saying in the chat, Eddie, that YouTube is suppressing super chats. >> Can't get super chats right now. >> [snorts] >> I don't see any notification about it. That sucks. Do you try to send a super chat and it didn't work? What did it tell you when you tried to send one? >> Someone commented that. >> Yeah, I saw that. I'm I'm asking them. What did it tell you when you try to send a super chat? U but while we wait for an answer there um Iran closed the straight of Hormuz and the US was mocking that and saying they don't have the ability to close the straight of Hormuz but just an hour ago we got this a US oil tanker is on fire. >> So, I guess they do have the military capacity to close the straight, which is uh a big deal. Unfortunately, it's not Yemen on the other side of that straight. It's Oman which had a leftist insurgency in the 70s which was uh suppressed by um uh by actually the Iranian monarchist government um working in conjunction with Israel. So it's basically one of these Arab puppet states right now. Um, however, it looks like Iran is so far being successful in preventing um oil tankers and and other US ships from getting through there, which is very encouraging. Uh, because that's where you hit how you hit the US where it hurts. You got to hit their pocketbook. I think they should hit all the oil fields and make gas prices shoot through the roof here in the US because nothing would turn regular Americans against Trump more than gas prices going through the roof. Um, unfortunately, a lot of people here are selfish cattle, um, who don't know what's going on in the world until they go to the gas pump and they see it's $5 a gallon. So, that's what I would do if I was them. I don't know how well they understand the American people and how mentally disabled most our population is, but um, I I hate to say that, but I'm sorry. It's true. Um, but that's what they should do. By the way, someone should try and send a super chat and see what uh happens. Not the beg for your money, but I want I really want to know if they're actually blocking people from super chatting us. >> It would be most unfortunate. Um, yeah, it is. Uh, look, Eddie, I I teach in a uh university setting that is quite poor. And I am always in awe with how little people know. It's not a high school. It's not a middle school. It's a university. It's university kids and they are so extremely ignorant about things that I think they should probably at least know a little bit of. You know, at least in the past, McCarthyism made people very propagandized and they had wrong narratives about very basic political things. Um, and the part of the dissident teacher was to say, "Here's the official narrative they fed you, and here's what's the truth because look at the incoherencies in the official narrative versus the truth." It seems like the super chats are working. Um, insane for a super chat, by the way. [laughter] Um, um, where was I going? But you know today it's like they don't even have a recollection of even events or concepts to think through the official McCarthy narrative. And so you try to sit there and and teach them and say this is what they say and this is what it actually is and it's kind of a waste of time. You can just tell them what it is because they don't even have the narrative that you need to debunk in the first place cuz they haven't been taught anything. They're so completely ignorant and it's very sad and it's not their fault. It's the fault of the educational system because teachers are given textbooks. They can't stray from the textbooks. They have to they're even given the questions that they have to ask to students in class. There's no freedom or any encouragement of of thinking beyond these very narrow straits that no student is naturally going to be interested in giving a [ __ ] about. >> No, you're so right. It's not their fault. It's not um it's just a tragedy what they've done to our country. And I could go I've been thinking about it more and more lately, what they've done to our people, how they've dumbed us down. Because there was this Iranian official who said like I can't remember who the author was, some famous American author. They're like, "I'm sure most Americans have read so and so." And all the Americans on Twitter were laughing at it. Like Americans haven't read [ __ ] What are you talking about? Most of us can't most of them can't write a book or understand an AR. I mean, Nick Shirley is a popular political commentator. Think about that. Those of you who have listened to Nick Shirley talk, I don't think Nick Shirley can read, let alone form a coherent sentence. I don't think he could read Dr. Seuss if you put the book in front of him. He would be like sounding out every word. And that's like a popular political commentator in America right now. It's so bad how stupid they've made our population. and they've given them all these weird cultural things. People are mutilating their own bodies, you know, to try and be happy. Um, and it's it's all these like psychological operations and MK Ultra [ __ ] that have been uh um forced on our population and it's had a serious effect on America's political consciousness and um on our population. It's tragic and I don't mean to attack individuals >> but it's it's a product of the system and you can fight the system literally by picking up a book and reading it right by putting down video games for an hour a day and and reading you are fighting the system by doing that. It's a revolutionary act to educate yourself because then like I read like one book and everyone around me was like wow Eddie you're so smart and I'm like no y'all are just stupid. There are people like Michael Hudson whose knowledge goes way far beyond, you know, mine um when it comes to history and economics and things like that. And I want to catch up to people like that and I I'm sure I will as I age. There's only so much you can do when you're 28. Um but you know the I feel so smart when I talk to anybody and it's it's a product of what they've done to our population. >> Bro, I asked a class real quick. I asked a class of 30 students which revolution happened in 1776. No one got it right. I wanted to blow my brain. >> These are college students. [music] >> College students. Yeah. No one got it right. No one knew. I asked them uh who's Adam Smith who I would hope you know even just six, seven years ago when I had started teaching people knew who Adam Smith was. At least some. You should know who Adam Smith is. If I say free market economics and you're in college, you should know what that means, right? If I say invisible hand, you should know what that means. Because I love doing the the Adam Smith of the libertarians today versus the real based one that's very similar to Marks. You can't even do that if they don't even know who the [ __ ] Adam Smith is, what free economics is, what free market economics, what the Austrian school or Chicago boys, Milton Friedman, you know, Thomas, they don't know anything. So it's like, what the [ __ ] bro? It's so insane. They know a lot about Fortnite skins. >> Fortnite, Sexy Red, Taylor Swift, that's what they're on. And, you know, just to make this last point, there's this move that uh Michelle Fukul does in in Discipline and Punishment where he says, you know, back in the day, people were like getting torn apart by [ __ ] horses and punished in a very gruesome way. And uh here came these humanitarians that that thought um well we're going to create these prisons so that it's not this big spectacle and uh we're going to make it much more psychological. And what ended up happening is that the prison ended up becoming the own one that you make for yourself and this panopticon effect where you basically police and punish uh yourself instead of getting punished publicly where you can at least sustain your dignity as you're suffering through a torture or something. And he said, "There's something much more sinister in that." And I think there's also something much more sinister in what the American government has done to the American people. The [ __ ] kids in Palestine, yeah, they're fighting bombs, but an 8-year-old in Palestine is 10 times smarter and has much more human dignity than a [ __ ] 22year-old American college student. >> And even social maturity, like if you talk to them, >> Yeah. >> what they're fighting against has allowed them to to be even more human, to be even more attuned. There's this comment that Badu makes that there's something interesting about these difficult circumstances. He looks at torture and the way in which in moments of torture, the person being tortured defends their humanity through the fact that they're surviving through something so traumatic and cannot be reduced to an animal and are still forced to be human. the American people are dehumanized in ways that are much more sinister and literally evil and and demonic. Uh because we're literally stupified to the point of literally being cap uh cattle. We're just cattle. You know, the the people all they do is go on their phone and scroll and scroll and scroll and what do they find when they scroll? One video they're crying. They scroll to the next video they're gooning. They scroll to the next video they're laughing. They scroll to the next video they're crying. What does that resemble? Well, it psychologically resembles the quick shifts of emotion that you would have diagnosed as bipolar disorder before. And so, we're constantly getting basically the psychological effect of bipolar disorder. And that's literally turning people [ __ ] crazy. It's literally turning people crazy. And then we're surprised when they don't have an attention span to remember anything, to think critically, and they have the emotional maturity of a [ __ ] dog that's guarding a piece of bread. >> Autism, ADD, bipolar, OCD, all of these things are >> it's this theory that you're just born with it is is not true. Some people probably are, but these things are being um increased. Not anxiety is the biggest one. these things are being promoted um by the material conditions, by the environment that we're in. Somebody should clip that uh that um little uh blurby you just went on there because that was spoton. And I've seen people say, you know, a six-year-old in Gaza has the maturity of a 25year-old in America. It's true. And even a 60-year-old in America, the boomers are the dumbest generation. You know, at least some people in our generation are picking up the books again and saying, "We're going to reclaim our dignity. Um whereas the boomer generation is just happy being a bunch of moronic cattle for the most part. No offense to the base boomers out there. >> Yeah, most boomers are [ __ ] [ __ ] Except for those that put the ACP in their will. Those are bas >> Yes, those are the good boomers. Dude, the boomers we have at the ACP are the best people ever. I love them. Um I say landlords are allowed in the party. Well, first of all, Engles own land. Uh, so that's a, you know, all you really got to say, but people are going to be paying money to a landlord anyways, right? We all pay money to a landlord. So, if I had the choice, I would rather have an ACP member own my house and not be exploiting the [ __ ] out of me and jacking the rent up as high as possible, but putting it as low as possible in a to provide a humane living situation for me. And then I would like to know that the money I'm giving towards rent is actually going towards the party rather than some rich landlord's pockets, right? I got to pay however much in rent every month anyways. I wish somebody from the ACP owned my apartment. Um and you know, obviously we're going to we don't own any properties yet as far as I know. Um maybe some individuals do, but we would not set the rent astronomically high. we would do it in a more humane way and then reinvest all that money in overthrowing the system so that landlords don't have to exist at all. So that's that's really it. And >> it's such a stupid attack because literally every other [ __ ] party is a landlord and deres most of their income through landlordism to the tune of millions of [ __ ] dollars. and you're gonna talk about the party where in a stream in a non-party stream when asked a specific question about a party business possibility H said yeah sure you know just do it ethically that's what you're going to [ __ ] focus on when the CPUSA has hundreds of millions of [ __ ] dollars in landlord properties that it literally makes profit from as a landlord and the same and every other organization >> right thank you for the super chat though I appreciate the two bucks Hopefully that cleared up the misconception there. Thank you, Lucas, for the five. Appreciate you, brother. Mche, this is a good question. Was the Iran nuclear deal favorable for anti-imperialist goals or did it mostly appease the war machine, setting the stage for invasion? Yeah, it absolutely did serve imperialism's goals. Absolutely. That was probably Obama's freaking entire purpose in creating the Iran deal. I mean, Iran got some of their money back that the US stole from them, but then Trump framed that as Obama just handing them money as if it wasn't money that we stole from them. Um, or their money that we froze in overseas bank accounts that they were then allowed to get back. Um, that's the money that Trump claims Obama gave Iran. But then it prevented them from getting a nuclear weapon. They had this westernbacked institution in the IAEA monitoring their nuclear program 24/7 to make sure that they didn't have the ability to defend themselves. And this is the kind of thing where the DPRK would have laughed in their faces. Oh, you want to send your little um Western international institution in here to monitor our nuclear program? How about you jump off a bridge? That's what Kim Jong-un would have told them. How about you jump off a bridge before we nuke you? Um, and that's what Iran should have told them. I get that they got their money back, but I think getting that money back shows that was probably pushed by the reformists in Iran and the opportunists in Iran who want that money for themselves. And this has been the US's strategy with Iran for a while. Freeze people's money in overseas bank accounts and then have the CIA and MSAD go to them and say, "Hey, we'll unfreeze your money and give it back to you if you help us do regime change. If you help us push reformists instead of hardcore revolutionaries." Um, so absolutely it served imperialism, but it's a good talking point now as they're pushing this line about Iran's nuclear weapons. Like Iran agreed to to not create nuclear weapons and allow you to monitor their nuclear program. That said, they should have never agreed to it. Absolutely not. They should have just said, you know, you take that money, you [ __ ] pirates. We're going to make a nuke. [ __ ] you. >> Good question, though. Thank you. >> I I don't know if it matters because they still had the FAWA. They weren't going to develop it anyways, >> right? >> You know. >> Yeah. I guess you might as well get your money back and let them monitor you. >> Yeah. I mean, it's an Islamic religious thing. That's the reason they don't produce nukes. That's their interpretation of Islam. Thank you, Partisan Pole, for the two. Appreciate it. Feed them. Inventing reality. Yeah, everybody needs to read that book. Everyone in the modern day needs to understand how media operates from a Marxist perspective. I was listening to uh there's a lot of videos now on YouTube that are like parent's greatest hits since he died and he was saying that like he made a joke about it like everybody calls me a Marxist because of my inventing reality book but I don't know that Markx had that much to say about the American media in the 20th century which is funny but it's true. you know, the media wasn't the same today as it was back then. People read, you know, people actually read. Um, or they were illiterate peasants who you could teach to read using Mau. Um, but now it's a different thing. Everybody is scrolling through Twitter and getting media. Um, so you need to understand how that media works and how it lies to you. And manufacturing consent, I'm sorry, it's not the way to do that. Edward Herman has some good points in that book. Um, but Chsky's manufacturing transent doesn't get to the point because he doesn't talk about existing socialism because he was a coward Epstein knight who was afraid to support existing socialism. Um, so inventing reality is the only book about the media that shows how they lie about revolutions. Um, because Chsky also lied about revolutions. He also helped manufacture consent for these wars. Um, so his book doesn't really sum it up the way inventing reality does. And if I may, because I I just wrote about this for Red America, I did an article focusing on Parent's main five main contributions to communism, but my focus of course as a philosopher was his critique of mass media and what's at stake in it. Um, I did a video about it and there was people talking about why do you have to do this either or or this splitting hair stuff. No, it matters because for for Herman and Chsky, uh, the way that ideology works, which that's what you're talking about when you're talking about mass media, which becomes a whole field of study, Nicholas Lumman, um, Bodriard, a bunch of different people studying how mass media functions to reproduce society, etc. When when you're saying that, well, the role of mass media is to manufacture consent. Um what you're saying is that there's still this relationship between the subject which can fundamentally understand the world outside of it correctly. But that relationship is distorted by this uh manipulation of how the world is by the media that's used to manufacture consent so that you can accept a certain narrative that the ruling order needs you to accept in different case studies in different events so that you give the thumbs up to war. But what's presupposed there is that we have a perfect access to the world and it's just manipulated when a new thing comes about and the media starts lying to us and that's how they manufacture consent and parent's critique it is a Marxist one even though Marx didn't obviously write about media but the way it addresses ideology it's Marxist through and through because the point is not there's this subject that is correct about how the world out there is and ideology is this thing that comes in and distorts we see things. No, already what you understand reality to be is ideological, is distorted, is constituted precisely through illusions. This is why the category of inventing reality is so important. What the media does is not manufacture consent. It can only manufacture consent because it's already a background reality that it has invented and manufactured for you. If not, think about any of the manufacturing of consent for Iraq, weapons of mass destruction. We have to go take freedom and liberty and overthrow a dictator. Why did those justifications, why did that manufacturing of consent not work for, I don't know, a Cuban communist? Why did it not work? Because my my my parents didn't buy into it when we had just gotten into this country and they weren't [ __ ] communist militants or anything. Why did it not work? because there was already a whole background understanding of reality that was able to see that information come in and say, "Oh, this is [ __ ] This is this is completely incoherent." It's when you once you already manufacture and invent a reality that is the background through which when the specific events come in and the media feeds you narratives, it can seem as coherent and as if it makes sense. That's the only way the manufacturing of consent could work. If you don't have the background invented reality, you don't have anything. And you can precisely have that because there isn't presupposed in Par's model a correct relationship of the subject to the world. There's always a distortion that is constituted through bourgeoa ideology. And that's not just the media. It's every other apparatus. And it's that hubris that Chomsky had where he said, "Oh no, look, look how good I can read how they manufacture consent. I am outside of it. I have a correct perspective and that's why I'm going to critique the Soviet Union and this and that." No, [ __ ] Your reality was already was always already constituted by the ruling class and its narratives. And yes, you caught some you caught some of the lies that they spun. But the fundamental reality that you approached the world through that you took as given and the presumptions and the aesthetic appreciations and the ill everything was already structured through the illusions of the ruling class even if you were able to catch them lying here and there. And that's why parent's critique is infinitely better than Chsky. That doesn't mean we shouldn't read Chomsky and Herman's book, but it means that if you actually want to understand how mass media works within the larger system of ideology and the reproduction of bourgeo society, you need to read Chsky's I mean Paris. >> That's why I tell people to read makeelieve media too because there's a whole other book about the entertainment media which is one of the main ways especially today like we were talking about people don't read or even a lot of people don't watch the news. They play Fortnite all day. They watch Marvel movies. And these entertainment films sort of subconsciously um inundate people with uh ideology and perspective um or give people their perspective on the world. You know, a lot of people don't know much about North Korea outside of the interview. I was talking to my friend about it the other day and like it took me two seconds to debunk his misconceptions about the DPRK and get him to realize that he knew nothing about their country or their history because all he knew was from the entertainment media. All he knew was from movies and TV shows and video games. Um, and these not only give you false ideas about the world, but distort the way that you see the world. Um, you know, distort the the lens that you see the world through. uh at the core. So people got to read inventing reality and make believe media. And he of course he gives a bunch of examples of you know overt lies that are in the entertainment media. But it's more so about how they get people to see the world as a comic book movie. We're the good guys. They're the bad guys. And that's the, you know, the foundation or the presumption that they um then look at every uh event through or every issue that pops up. Um, they have all these preconceived uh notions about it. This is hilarious. Thank you, San. Baron Trump is a cybernetic GMO clone of Trump. He will install as Caesar after consciousness transfers. Epstein is alive in Austin, Texas, and just lane walks free. Hey, no lie detected right there. That's I have no evidence, but that's facts. If we're not at this level of schizophrenic, you're not doing anything correct. This is like the level of suspicion we should have of the ruling regime. 100%. I I I didn't say this in the article, but I wanted to. It's something Hazad said in the stream a long time ago. A crackhead is infinitely more correct about what's happening than a lot of these academics that still have faith in the ruling institution. the crackhead that says, you know, there's like lizards and stuff, you know, that are doing everything, everything's suspicious to them. That instinct of suspicion, um that working within the tradition that Paul Rapole called the the masters of suspicion, that's infinitely closer to the truth. And people who just look at what the regime says and says, "Oh, it's correct and it's scientific authority. It's good. It's it's whatever," you know. Um, so yeah, I [ __ ] with this level of of of conspiracy theory as they like to call it. >> I think Epste might be alive, bro. Thank you, Midwestern Socialist. Yeah, for another five. Appreciate it. That wasn't an attack, by the way. I just need a clear understanding. A lot of leftists ask me what the ACP do on the ground achievements. Don't bash me. All good, brother. All good. We were just uh ranting about the ridiculous haters that we get. nothing personal towards you specifically. >> It was aimed at the Tasman at the one at the amorphous DSA consciousness entity that says the sort of things that you're you're asking about, >> right? Holy [ __ ] A $100 super chat. That even doubles the biggest one from last night. We got a 50 last night. 100. That is extremely generous. Thank you, Shawn Moon. Longtime friend of the show. Um, Baron Trump, friend of the show. Uh, [laughter] it's a Tim Dylan reference. Thank you guys. Uh, thank you, Sean. That is extremely generous. Um, and of course, it's because of donors like this that were able to do what we do and stream as much as we do and um put out the content that we do and the work that we do on the ground with the ACP. You guys are the best Americans of your generation. Your coverage of parent was the best. Any thoughts on the role of McCarthy, Tulle, Roy Conn on Trump? I hope you give the immigration issue more thought. I think it's costing you support among the working class. Thank you. Um, for the hundred, I I clear up what you mean about the immigration issue, though. Um, because our our policy, just to be clear, is ending mass immigration and having a controlled border, but a humane border. You know, no kids in cages, no child separation. Um, don't deport people who were born here. Don't deport people who've been here for 40 years and are, you know, already uh ingrained in American society. Don't freaking deport people in Southern California, which was stolen from Mexico and basically is Mexico, because they're all Mexican there anyways. Um, you know, as long as they're not criminals and stuff. Um, but uh I assume you mean that you would want us to be stronger on border control, but maybe you're saying the opposite. But either way, u interesting topic to discuss. Actually, one of my friends right now, he's a conservative, but he's deeply deeply influenced by me and Midwestern Marks. He is writing his senior thesis um for politics on border policy in the Eastern block countries in the Eastern block socialist countries. And I'm like, "Bro, send that over as soon as you're done with it. I want to read it." Because he's like a pro >> he's like a conservative who supports communism and he's basically saying these communist states didn't have like open borders and how that's a liberal policy. So very interesting. But um yeah, I'd like to know exactly what you mean by that. Um but anyways, you know anything about Roy Conn, Carlos? >> I have no idea. >> Let me just look it up because we owe Shawn Moon an answer after he gave us $100. Let's see here. Roy Marcus Conn, lawyer and special assistant to the United States. I wonder what religion he is. Just kidding. Um, he was Joseph McCarthy's chief counsel during the Army McCarthy hearings. Con had been assisting McCarthy's investigations of suspected communists in the 70s and 80s. Prominent political fixer in New York City. He represented and mentored Donald Trump during Trump's early business career. Interesting. >> Well, you just taught me something new, Mr. Moon. I did not know that. But, uh, I mean, it explains a lot. Trump was extremely anti-communist. Um, he uses that in his rhetoric while, you know, talking about bringing the jobs back and ending the wars and pushing all of these communist policies. He would say, you know, we need to deport all these communists out of America, blah blah blah. Um, so that's interesting to know that he was mentored by that guy. I'll have to look more into who Roy Conn was specifically. Um, yeah. What do you make of that, Carlos? Well, I think the common denominator of all specters of acceptable American politics is anti-communism. Uh so I'm not surprised that someone like Conn um could have been a sort of a tutor style person for Trump. Uh it's the common denominator. Anti-communism is the common denominator. And Winston used to say, you know, the twin evils of racism and anti-communism. And racism uh doesn't just have to be racism. It could be anything that just artificially divides people on superficial things that are not the fundamental class basis that determines the vast majority of their reality and of their lives. Uh both of those things are common ground for all sectors of uh the political spectrum in America. anti-communism and some form of dividing the people, of creating artificial lines to divide people that are not the actual class lines that matter. >> Yes. Um, sorry, I'm trying to ask. Uh, Sean says open borders. [snorts] >> We're against borders. >> Yeah. Let me know in because I'm interested in your question about immigration. Let me know what specifically you mean um by >> that. But thank you so much for the hundred and for that interesting information about this uh Roy Confer. Con was disbarred by the Appallet Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical conduct after attempting to defraud a dying client by forcing him to sign a will amendment, leaving his fortune to Con. Wow, this gets even more wild. Con died 5 weeks later from AIDS after having vehemently denied that he was HIV positive. He has been subject to many media portrayals before his death. Born to an affluent Jewish family in the Bronx, New York City. Um, >> and people in the comments are saying he was part of the Lavender Scare that was just like calling a bunch of people gay, like gay communist. So, it's just pure projection as usual from right-wingers. They're all closeted. um homosexuals, you know, to >> he was one of the first. >> He was one of the first >> OG. >> He was gay, too. Yeah. Clearly >> bunches pours one out for him whenever before he streams. Uh this guy says, "What what do you guys do on the ground?" Just look go ACP main onx and just scroll. We retweet most of the stuff that our chapters do. You can see there all the million different things we do on the ground. A lot of good stuff. Yes. Yes. Tons of good stuff. Um, our chapters are doing good work all across the country helping people in their communities um and organizing unions and workplaces and things like that as well. So, that's the best place to find it. Um, he ran a gay honey trap for Jay Edgar coned. Interesting. Who was also >> Yes. Yes. Crossdresser as well. Um, and then these people called everyone else gay communists while they were gay behind the scenes. Sounds a lot like uh a young Mexican white nationalist I know about today. >> Yeah. >> Goes on dates with catboys. >> Talking about gay [ __ ] Did you see the the Tucker Carlson store products? >> No. >> You didn't see him? >> No. He came out with a cup, a mug that's like neoconservatives are gay. And at the bottom it says for Israel. [laughter] >> I might have to get one of those. >> Every accusation is an admission. So true. Um, so Trump recently was saying too that Iran was coming to him begging for a ceasefire, trying to make himself sound like a tough guy, of course, as always. Um, they're begging me versus each player. I'm in charge. I'm the boss. I don't have a tiny dick. I promise. I'm really tough. I've totally been in a lot of fights, you guys. God, could you imagine if they put me in a cage with Trump at any age? >> Oh god. What I would love to do to that man in sanctioned legal combat. Of course. Um, nothing illegal here, but God, I just can't stand these epheminers who try to act like tough guys. It's like you could tie both my arms behind my back and I would beat the [ __ ] out of you. I could beat you with my legs. Um, I'm an Iranianist anarchist tuning in from [laughter] let you know I support the Shaw North. You could have stopped that trot and we could have guessed everything else. Honestly, >> sorry, that was too good. Uh, thank you for that. >> I hope that was joking. [laughter] >> He's dead serious. He's actually in in a bunker in Tel Aviv right now typing this comment. >> You mean India? [laughter] Same thing. Same. That's just all Twitter right now. Elon Musk said it to boost right-wing Indians and uh Tel Aviv account. Um but anyways, Trump was begging or saying that Iran was begging him for a ceasefire and within minutes we got a a debunk to that idiotic claim from this uh Iranian government official. This is actually their foreign minister so pretty high up and we don't >> sorry is there a way I can restart it >> see any reason why >> he said we are not asking for a ceasefire >> we should negot negotiate with the US when we negotiated with them twice and every time they attacked us at the middle of negotiations so there is no request for a ceasefire by us and there is no request for the negotiation with the US from us. No, we are waiting for them. >> You You are waiting for the US military to invade the ground troops. >> Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them and that would be a big disaster for them. We are not asking for a ceasefire. >> Damn. He He had that uh MSNBC host or NBC host [ __ ] in his pants there. You're waiting for us. It's like, bro, what else? What do you expect? People have literally just been bombed twice while negotiating. >> While negotiations were ongoing. Like, how naive do you expect these people to be? And they have ballistic missiles. They have hypersonics. This isn't this isn't Iraq. This isn't Syria. This isn't even Venezuela. This is the the country that the Persian Empire became. The Persian Empire that was a fortress um or the Ottoman Empire too. Um that was a fortress is literally built like a fortress surrounded by mountains and they have real military capacity as we're seeing now uh as Americans come home in body bags and caskets with the American flags draped over them. Six Ians are dead already which is hurts my heart because that's my state but it is what it is. Um, this is not a country that is just going to be pushed around. And I'm not saying they'll win in the end, for sure. Um, but they're done negotiating. You You blew it. And you know what? What it could be? Trump saying they want to come to the negotiating table. They want to negot Maybe he's the one who wants to. Maybe he's like, "Oh [ __ ] I [ __ ] up. My popularity ratings are in the toilet. I thought this would bring them up for some reason, but they've brought them down. MAGA's splitting. We don't have enough uh missiles stockpiled to fight this war. Everybody's calling me a cuck of Israel and calling this operation Epstein Fury. Um so maybe he's trying to pressure them to negotiate because he feels that he can't win. I hope that's the case. I don't know for sure. Um but yeah, it's clear that Iran is is done talking with the US as they should be. I'm looking for a video, a funny video that I don't think I'm able to find now. But have you ever seen that video of the the guy that it's clearly on drugs? He goes up to a door man and he tells the doorman, "Hey man, I'm sorry yesterday I hadn't taken my meds when I talked to you. I think I disrespected you." And then in the middle of apologizing, he goes to swing and he misses. He's like, "Yo, what the fuck?" And he runs away. He's like, "I'm sorry, man. I'm so sorry, man." And he comes back in. He's like, "Motherfucker." And he goes to punch him again. That's basically the US negotiating. >> That's literally US negotiating. Let's come here to discuss peace. I'm going to try to punch you. It's like, who the [ __ ] is going to want to negotiate with that, bro? Who's going to want to negotiate with that? It's it's I I said this in in my last video I did about Burkina Faso because Bkina Foso kicked out the American and Israeli embassy from their country. That's the only same position that you can take. It's like you have these rogue entities that they don't respect this fake [ __ ] called international law. They don't respect their own word. They don't respect contracts. They don't respect anything. They just act on a whim like impulsive imperialist children's with bomb with bombs, you know? So, who's going to respect that? Who's going to want to negotiate with that? Who's going to take their words and their promises seriously? I mean, if you're [ __ ] like a a Charlie Brown level naive maybe, and you want to keep kicking a football that's getting removed, but if you have if you're able to see two fingers in front of you, why would you trust anything the Americans and the Israelis tell you? And this is why it's so important to understand history and why I love Triayore so much because he does understand his own history. And this is a lesson that they learned painfully from Thomas Sankara who ended up chopped into a bunch of little pieces um and seeing his Marxist Leninist government be overthrown and replaced with the US puppet state because he was surrounded by traitors and instead of taking them out like some people wanted to, he chose the humanitarian route and he ended up dead. And this is a lesson Triayor's learned. They've already thwarted multiple coup attempts. They've already, you know, imprisoned multiple people in the administration who were acting as traitors and they're continuing to develop their country and develop their military capacity, which is is so important. So, um there's a leader right now who understands history. He's in a very tough situation. He's in a country that the US allowed uh Boo Haram to take like 40% of and France allowed you know terror jihadist groups to take over um before he took power. So he's got fighting an uphill battle. But he's learned those lessons from history and that's what every anti-imperialist state should. Um, H is right when he says there's a crisis of uh, you know, MSAD and CIA infiltration and a lot of anti-imperialist regimes and these people need to be sent to Gulog. Like they need to be purged. This is why Stalin is, you know, the greatest leader in history. Um, the more you learn about them, the more you're like, "Yeah, the purges were just. These people were going to ally with the Nazis and with the US and destroy their socialist project. They needed to be exiled from the party or put in prison in certain cases or just straight up gotten rid of and um with the real traders. So um Pavle, thank you for the 20 euros. Hello. I despise my government in a dude. Germany is the worst. Uh God bless you for doing fighting for Marxism Leninism in that freaking country. Um yeah, I could say a lot about about German political consciousness today. It is less than ideal, maybe the worst. Um but you're doing the Lord's work and I believe that uh if there's enough people like you um spreading the good word any country can wake up you know any people can wake up to their own interests the cognitive dissonance around me is bad I can only imagine combination of consumerism sock consciousness fracturing of societal bonds as well as chauvinism make it difficult to radicalize people yeah the Germans think that they got over Nazism by just like supporting Israel they're like we support Israel hood enough then the world will forgive us for what Hitler and it's like no you're just a different kind of Nazi now you're just we are nice social democrats now no you're social fascists you're still Hitlerites you have not broken out of that yet um so yeah that's the the German consciousness and uh it needs to be pointed out there needs to be a German Midwestern marks you know or institutes like ours that uh help untangle people's brains from all the nonsense. >> Um, >> there's also the I've talked about this a little bit. I'm looking for the German term. I'm not going to try to pronounce that. I should have learned German. Didn't. Um, there's also the phenomenon of German guilt pride uh that's taken over Germany. That's also tied to the Israel stuff that you talked about. Uh, West Germany, capitalist Germany, was just literally just a continuation of the Nazi state, right? East Germany was based, uh, that was the state that was composed of the people that were the anti-fascist, anti-Nazi resistance. They still had to pay 99% of the reparations to the Jews, even though they weren't the state that did the uh, massacre of people, but whatever. Um, West Germany had this for the first few decades. It just like ignored its past and it's like we're not going to talk about it because you know the people we'd be talking about is like ourselves cuz you know we were in both governments. And then it gets to the point um where it has like this crisis of identity and it starts developing this sense of relating to its past and confronting German guilt. And it starts developing a bunch of memoriams to the Holocaust and and all this stuff. And it develops what's called German guilt pride which is this interesting phenomenon where they end up taking how they experience their guilt and how prideful they are and how openly they confront their guilt and that leads to like a new form of supremacism. Yeah. In the 30s and 40s it was like we're superior to other nations because we're Aryan. Well, after that, um, from like the 80s onwards or whatever, whenever German guilt pride develops, now they're superior because no other nation is able to attune to its past evils and confront its guilts in the same way that they are. And so, they have a unique pride and a unique ability. And it's a form of supremacism. And it's the same thing. It's just like German wokeism basically. uh it turns into a form of supremacism, tribalism, all that sort of stuff. And it leads to them naturally thinking, "Oh, we must support the Israel." >> Um but no, you know, >> yep, that what you said about East Germany paying all the reparations. The Zionists used the legacy of the Holocaust to shake down a lot of people. They also did the same uh Finkelestein talks about this in the Holocaust industry, how there were these Swiss banks that like weren't involved in the Holocaust, but these like Zionist lawyers basically pushed and pushed and pushed and did a propaganda campaign against them and got them to give Israel or Zionist organizations like millions of dollars. Um so they did the same thing to East Germany. Why? Not because East Germany was guilty, but because um uh they were a communist state because they were a sovereign socialist state. Um unlike West Germany. So uh I'll respond to the Well, I'll do this first. What do you think about 300 versus six troops killed in action? It's more than six. There's reports already that uh there are six Ians alone. There are six people from Iowa alone, my state, who have been killed in action. So it's much more than that. Um, I don't think it's as high as what the Iranian government says because how would they know? Um, but it's much higher than six. And yeah, people are being sent to die for Epstein. Thank you, Sean. God bless the American Communist Party. Thank you, brother. Appreciate it. Um, PXE, I mean, 20 bucks. Thank you. And thank you for all the good work that you do on the ground, my boy. Um, >> IRL [ __ ] doxing people. >> Yeah, I just dox my my homie. Sorry, buddy. Um, >> PXE is the man. [laughter] This guy, [laughter] this guy says, [laughter] I'm curious. Oh, I'm gonna play the money printer video. This guy says, "I'm curious how the Gulf States will react to Iranian attacks." Um, I saw this from kim.com. I'm pretty sure the guy who made Pirate Bay and then like fled to Russia. Um, he's like a Jake Cuber, but he gets a lot of stuff right. Um, said Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar discussing withdrawing from contracts with the US and cancelling future investment commitments um because of what's going on. I saw the UAE made some statement Um, you know, and it's a lot of hand ringing. These states at the end of the day are US puppet states. I don't know what they can actually do. Um, besides put stuff out there in the media, but yeah, I mean, there are those videos of like Bahrain when uh Iran launches a missile and hits a US base, the Bahrain citizens are cheering. They're like, "Yay." Um, so I mean, that shows where the people are at. Of course, they don't support the US occupying their country and uh bombing children in Iran. Um how the government will respond remains to be seen, but uh this is encouraging. [snorts] We'll see though. They're so tied to the US and the US dollar. The the petro dollar system is really uh really has a lot of countries by the balls because they need those US dollars to survive. Thank you, Pavle. Appreciate you, brother. Another $10 or 10 euro super chat. Um I'm sure that Iran will win. I've never seen such an a military epic [ __ ] up on such a scale. This is one of the biggest fuckups I have seen in my life. A pot um to be as big as the battle of Kana. Yeah, I hope you're right. And at this point, I think you're right. I think this is one of the biggest fuckups um on the global stage that we've ever seen. I don't think Trump I think Trump had his hand forced into doing this because of blackmail and other reasons like that. Epstein reasons, but he thought maybe it would bring his popularity up maybe, but his popularity is in the toilets. Only 24% of Americans support this. And from a military perspective, it's not going well for them. Americans are coming home in body bags. Their bases are getting destroyed that previously, you know, were just chilling there. Um they're all the reports are saying that they're running out of missiles. Iran just sunk a tanker in the the straight of Hormuz. This is the This is one of the main things I've been trying to tell normie Americans on TikTok for like six years now. I've been saying a war with Iran is not a war with Iraq. It is not the same thing. This is the inheritor of the Persian civilization. This is a a real serious civilization with real serious military capacity. And you may end up winning in the end. Hopefully not. But they, you know, even if they do, a whole lot of Americans are going to come home in body bags first. A whole lot of goodwill on the global stage. It's going to be lost. Um, nobody's ever going to trust the US again. And they're going to have their military bases be obliterated. Tel Aviv is in shambles right now. There are videos out of Tel Aviv of Israelis balling. It looks like freaking Gaza right now. Um, like so far this has been a disaster. And guess what? Iran's still using the old stuff. They're still using their old inexpensive drones in order to deplete the US's stockpile. This is a war that they've been preparing for for 40 years. So, um, the US empire could win in the end and Israel could win in the end, but it will come at a massive cost. A cost that could lead to the decay of the empire itself. And that's why we need to get organized here at home. Um, and uh, fight the battle against the EP Epstein regime from within America politically. >> Yeah, the Soviet Union I mean the Soviet Jesus [ __ ] Christ. Russia Russia said the that would be a really nice Freudian slip, you know, for it to come back into existence. But Russia recently said the same thing. Um, Putin said that all of the weapons that they have been fighting with are Russian Soviet weapons. There is the same the the same Freudian slip but in reverse. Instead of calling it Soviet, call it Russian. Um, and you know what? How how big of a flex that is? It's like everything we've done, old Soviet weapons from 40 years ago, 40, 50 years ago. We're about to start using new weapons. It's like, oh my god, you've been kicking ass with old ass weapons. I can only imagine what's coming. That's like showing up to training and you're like, >> [gasps] >> You're drenched in sweat. You're all red. And it's like, "All right, we are finished stretching. Now [laughter] it's time. Now it's time to warm up." It's like, "Ah, son of a [ __ ] What did I >> That's a good analogy." No, it is. Yeah, they still They haven't used the hypersonics yet. It's going to be rough going for the US and for the troops who are stationed over there. And I hope they get everybody except for my friends. Just kidding. I hope the military mutinies and freaking that's what they should do. They should mutiny against this insane nonsense that they're being sent to do in Iran. Um, this is funny. Israel bombed an interestfree nonprofit financial institution. The institution operates under Islamic financial principles that prohibit interest. So, Userie is really the root of all evil. This debt trapping, this is what the international Epstein class loves. Their entire economy in the 21st century is based around parasitic debt trapping. And this is what Israel promotes in the region, which is why it's a base of the Epstein regime, the global um class of bankers and elites. Um, they need Israel and this is why they hate Lebanon and Iran. User is banned in Iran. You're not allowed to debt trap people. You're not allowed to loan them money at ridiculous interest rates in Iran. Um, and this is rooted in is Islamic principles. It's rooted in Christian principles, too. We've just forgotten here in America. >> Um, Jesus also railed against user and debt trappers. But I mean what a perfect visual uh you know this is a microcosm of the larger battle that's going on. The battle between the working class and justice and having a you know productive economy that works on behalf of the people versus the parasites who extract our wealth while uh hanging out and sipping cocktails on Epstein's island in Mara Lago all day. You know, one of the books that I just finished uh I guess rereading because I had read it in Spanish like eight years ago and it just came out in English last year is Enrique Dell's Theological Metaphors in Mark. Um what [laughter] I was going to ask you, you know what's the only major religion that universally prohibits? There's there's some people in the party that are not going to like this answer that universally prohibits uh you know debt of that kind. >> What >> can you guess which religion? It's obviously not Christianity and Judaism is it it prohibits it in a conditional manner. You can do it to other Jews but to go is fair game. But what religion what religion can you just be as parasitic as you want? >> Hinduism. >> Nope. Close. >> Buddhism. >> Buddhism. So some people >> Buddhism prohibits usery or allows it? >> Allows it. Allows it. >> Ah, >> it's the only one that allows it. >> Interesting. >> Yeah. But anyways, I was going to say because you're talking about Christianity, um this this this is one of the most like I think fascinating uh books, I think the best work that DA ever did in his whole life. uh it traces out how there is an implicit theological critique all throughout Marx's work on capital and the critique of capitalism where he quite literally considers capital a mammon you know a an antichrist force and he takes metaphors that Paul uses about Jesus a divine essence turning itself into a a lowly servant of the people and inverts it and and shows how the slave of money in the capitalist system becomes quite literally a god, a mammon sort of antichrist figure. >> And and Ducel presents these four options uh for the predicament that the Christian is in within capitalism. either you realize that as a Christian you can't support capitalism because it's literally the antichrist and therefore you become a revolutionary a socialist or you have a completely false consciousness distorted understanding of what capitalism is as a cope you know and you distort what capitalism is so that you can contain your Christianity you distort what Christianity is which we have a whole lot of with the evangelicals and all that stuff um or you abandon the church. Those are the only four options you get as a Christian. Either you abandon the church, you have a shitty Christianity, you have a stupid incorrect understanding of the world, or you become a communist. The only way to not be a [ __ ] idiot and be a Christian today and be consistent is to be a communist. >> I mean, am I not living proof of that? like I actually took the principles my parents taught seriously um and the principles I learned in church seriously and I realized well the Zionist controlled evangelical church isn't promoting any of this you know what's actually in the Bible what Jesus Christ actually taught is communism is fighting against usery and debt trapping and the merchants using the temple and using Christianity to make money and then you have Trump like selling Trump Bibles and pastors helping him to shill his Trump Bible And it's like, did y'all [ __ ] read the book? >> Did you read? And then they're all they want to talk about is like gay marriage and these social issues and stuff. It's like you just cherrypick whatever you want. I had a debate with a pastor who studied theology in college about this. He didn't even know that there were verses against you. He didn't even know. So he had to do some, you know, he had to walk around the question and talk about, well, you know, well, personal responsibility. I'm like, no, look at what it says in the Bible. And he didn't want to have that conversation. Um, you know, he's like, we can agree to disagree. Okay, buddy. So, you have no argument. Um, no. Yeah, if you if you take the principles of the Bible seriously, you should be should be a communist. at least the New Testament cannot serve Mammon and God at the same time. How many uh how come so many Christians ignore this? Exactly. Thank you, Pavle, for the five. Exactly. Because they don't actually read the Bible. They just listen to what's shoved down their throats or they just LAR as Christians. Like how many of these Christian um white nationalist guys actually go to church? These hardcore right-wingers. I' I'd be willing to bet not a lot of them. They just LAR as Christians because it gives them a reason to hate Jewish people because they reject Jesus. Um, speaking of which, just kidding, [laughter] not speaking of which, but anyone see this video. [laughter] God, they couldn't have directed a funnier video. [snorts] That was in Tel Aviv. No comment. >> No comment. >> It's not a funny video. >> I would never laugh at that video. It's an antiseptic video. And yeah, >> Elon Musk should immediately delete that video for antisepticism. >> Oh my god. Is there a Russian prank call to >> Yeah, you didn't see that? >> No, I didn't see it, >> bro. Bro, >> you look like that monkey with the That's not a racial thing, by the way. Okay. There's that monkey with the inflated nose. It's impossible to not see the resemblance. >> You know what I'm talking about? >> Yes. He looks just like it, bro. His nose is huge. >> Massive. >> It keeps getting bigger. Like, how is that even possible? >> It's like a It's like a variation of Pinocchio. >> It just keeps getting more big the more he does. I saw someone Trump said uh he said we can't have Raza Palavi back. We're looking for someone who's more popular. And someone quote tweeted it and said he should just kill himself at this point. [laughter] Had like 40,000 likes. It's true. It's like, bro, not even the US regime wants to install you anymore. You're so unpopular. You got to watch this [ __ ] though. This is too good. Hello. >> Hello. Good afternoon. >> They're pretending to be German diplomats representing the German government. That's important. >> Uh, good afternoon, dear Prince. Uh, so waiting for Adolf. >> No problem. We'll wait. >> Okay. How do you like Munich? >> It's cold and rainy, so I can't say it's the best of times. >> Yes. >> Yes. Now this is my uh I think fourth time in Munich in the last uh year. >> Oh. Okay. >> Nice to meet you. Nice to see you. >> Afternoon. >> I need to tell you that uh my father knew your father. [laughter] >> I come. >> Really? Yes. >> Where was that? Was it >> grandfather? Adult grandfather. >> Yes. My grandfather knew your father. >> If you don't get the joke, uh the Shaw was um very Nazi sympathetic. >> How interesting. Was he was he stationed in Iran in some capacity or >> he was he served in German army and he was a agent in Teanu in 40s. >> That's very interesting. >> Good to know. >> Yeah. Let's start. Um I'm glad to welcome you today and um uh our friend President uh Weber told us about a great conversation with you. Uh so we would like to discuss some uh details of our partnership and uh also your personal meeting with the counselor I think on Sunday if it's okay for you. Well, definitely I would very much appreciate that opportunity, but we are very grateful and thankful for the strong position that Chancellor Merks has taken. I think it's really uh something that we were hoping uh all these years that there'll be a much tougher stance by European governments and I'm glad that uh your country is taking the lead in being very clear on the subject particularly when it comes to the regime's legitimacy which was always an issue. You know I have a discussion with uh Chancellor Merz today and we discussed that we will talk to you and his position now he's open to uh to join the game. So I need to assure you that uh Germany army is ready to launch military actions in Iraq. Now you know we have towers missiles so our intelligence is ready to start bombing terra. Okay. But the more we have as part of this um uh coalition visav regime the better. In fact so it doesn't isolate just the Israelis and the Americans in this. That's certainly a welcome uh element for us to have more people joining in this uh crusade and and I'm glad if Germany >> so he wants a German guy named Adolf Hitler bomb Iran for the freedom of the Iranian people >> taking such a strong sense I hope that others would follow suit >> I talked to Chancellor Meritz so he is ready to launch military operation now So what do you think if we >> even funnier >> their act their accents are completely Russian too? >> Yeah. >> How was Palavi this stupid >> operation? Are you ready to come then to Tean and lead new uh government? >> Yes. At least what we've been talking to the Americans in the Israelis about is the fact that look as far as IGC is concerned or any of the instances that is part of the um you know as the French would say including the intelligence ministry and so on and so forth that has to be neutralized for people to actually have a chance to go back to the streets and ultimately take over whatever we need to take over. In the meantime, we were working the process of getting more and more defectors on our side. And a lot of them come from the military paramilitary groups. But al isn't that interesting that he's working directly with these Iranian monarchist hookers you see all over your Twitter feed, you know, posting pictures of themselves, degrading themselves, um, and posting [ __ ] pictures and saying, "This is why I want Iran to be overthrown." He's admitting that he's working with these people >> also from bureaucracy in the sense that the minute the regime ultimately collapses we are ready to step in and fill the vacuum for that I have an >> I mean what do you think about Israel position now so >> but obviously is Israel is definitely on board in terms of knowing that there's an existential threat to them so long as this regime continues to exist in fact I don't know if you remember my trip two years ago to Israel where I spoke directly uh with Israeli official including Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herszog. So we have a very good dialogue with them and I think there's a lot of traction about this uh in terms of how it's perceived uh from the point of view of the Iranian people. Every demonstration you would see of of the last couple years you often see the Israeli flag right next to the Iranian national flag. >> Okay, good. So I hope that we can uh arrange a meeting with chancellor and of course it's very important to for him to know you to meet in person. It's much better than to uh then just discuss uh on this do people uh who uh were under uh bombarding of Israel would they support that politics? I'm I'm so sorry. The prince is just getting a phone call. We just need about three minutes to take the call. We'll be just put it on pause and be right back if it's okay. >> In the meantime, maybe uh >> Yeah. >> Bye. >> Okay. >> Just one. >> Then his CIA handler comes in and ends the call. >> Getting called the prince the [ __ ] out. Um on the on the on the not so good side, you know, the truth is uh the Iranian revolution was quite repressive in some ways. And before the revolution, people look like this. They were just walking around the street. [laughter] Everyone looked like this in the Shaws Iran. And [laughter] then that that was ruined by the Iranian revolution. Oh, I never forget what they took from us. >> Actually, my friend was in Iran and uh he was an Only Fans creator. Um this is the guy actually [laughter] and he was repressed by the Ayatollah. Um so that's why it needs to be overthrown. >> Oh my god. >> No driveway is safe anymore in Iran. You used to be able to just pull up in driveways and do whatever you wanted. Thank you, Sean. Another 10. That's 110 total from Sean. Very generous, brother. Thank you. You seen the Spanish language film Men with Guns? It was made by John. I've heard of it for sure. Made by John Sales, the same guy you made. Madawan. Any thoughts on Costa Gabas or Porto Corvo? Missing and burn are great films. I've heard of Men with Guns, but I've never seen it. Have you? >> Let me just look it up. One second. Um, Men with Guns is 97 1997, The Year I Was Born. Political drama um inspired by 92 novel The Long Night of White Chickens. Um, set in an unnamed Latin American country is the story of one man's discovery of what actually happened in the political history of his nation as well as his students. It was filmed in Mexico. Interesting. I'll have to watch that. >> Sounds like my kind of watching uh good anti-imperialist movies. We add them every once in a while to the U ACP educational list. Um the last one we had uh my brothers and sisters in Pyongyang and few DPR uh not DPR a few GDR movies. We had uh a movie about uh Erns Talman. Two movies about Tolman which were really good. Um so yeah I'll have to check that one out. I haven't seen it. >> If I Thank you, Pavle, for the five. If I can, I will try to leave Europe up next year. Raise up Palabi is the gift that keeps on giving. He states something. Everyone unites in Iran. Very true. He is the gift that keeps on giving. Just a walking comedy show at this point. Thank you, Pavle. If I can, I will leave your Oh, same thing. Thank you for the double super chat. Appreciate it. Um, yeah. I don't blame you for wanting to leave >> what? >> Go to China. >> Yeah, go to China or go I don't know. Go somewhere and wage revolution. Do the CH. Yo, what's up, comrade? Thank you for the five. Good evening. Thanks for dropping in. Appreciate it. Changed your name, I see. [laughter] Thank you. Trump already thrown under the bus. He is now searching for someone who's actually popular with the Iranian majority and not just the only fans. Yeah, good luck. Good luck finding someone who supports your ass after you bombed an elementary school with 160, you know, little girls in it. There's a mass mass funeral for them in Iran. Um, ain't nobody going to support your disgusting pedto ass. [ __ ] out of here. Palavi is your best hope at this point. And we've seen how stupid that guy is. Is Barus socialist? Pretty much. Pretty much. Shout out to Luca Shenko, the last remaining Soviet state. >> Potato farmer. >> Great man. [snorts] >> Well, Carlos, you got anything else you wanted to discuss today? No, it's been fun, man. We got to do this more. >> Yes, this was a great stream. Dude, why did I not post this when the whole Albania thing was going on when Nick Fuentes condemned Albanians? I should have posted this and Verhaza. >> Long live Hosha. He was like top five most principled [ __ ] in the 20th century. Super based >> based as hell. He was right about everything pretty much. >> The bunkers, all of it was cool. >> It was. >> I'm pro bunkers. >> Will be installed as the leader of Iran. >> Yep. They're gonna fly him from Miami to Thyron. How do you feel about the Rubio meme of him getting ready to to take on these new posts and every time they edit him as something else? >> I've never seen I don't know if I've seen that. >> Impossible. >> What is it? >> The Marco Rubio meme where he's like sitting down and he looks >> Oh yes. It's when you overthrow but when you when when you kill the [ __ ] Ayatollah and now you have to get ready to be Iran's spiritual leader. [laughter] >> It's hilarious. >> We should start making some of those. >> Those are funny. >> Posting them to Maine. Compare the videos of like 50 to 100 pro monarchs celebrating on a random plaza with the tens of thousands flying a street. Yeah, I sent that. One of my friends posted like he's like a hardcore conservative dumbass. Everybody know nobody takes him seriously. He's a drunk, but [laughter] he posted uh something. Iranians are celebrating. I sent him a bunch of videos of Iranians in the streets in Tran. No response, but he hasn't posted about it since. Um he knows he's wrong. Uh but yeah, it's ridiculous. Thank you for the super chat. >> Oh my god, they're saying they nuked Wthbones channel. >> [snorts] >> They did. >> Yeah. What the [ __ ] >> Let me check. I know that happened a while ago. Did it happen again? He's back up. I think he maybe got demonetized, but he's still up. Yeah, he got nuked for a while. >> He streams like every day, man. It's impressive. >> Yeah. Yeah, he's doing a good job. Thank you for another super chat, comrade. Appreciate you for the five. Appreciate it. You guys have been killing it with the super chats. This is a lucrative stream.
