Deep Dive

Key Insights

What evidence suggests that the recent New Year’s Eve attacks in the U.S. may have CIA involvement?

Whitney Webb points to the staged and transparent narrative management surrounding the attacks, such as a reporter being sent into an alleged terrorist's apartment with chemicals and open Qurans on display, which resembles previous CIA operations like Operation Gladio in Europe. The attacks also align with historical patterns of intelligence agencies using terror to manipulate public perception and justify policy changes.

Why does Whitney Webb believe the U.S. government is incompetent in handling border security?

Webb argues that the government’s focus on political agendas, such as increasing voter numbers, overshadows genuine security concerns. She highlights a lack of experienced personnel and solid intelligence, leading to policies that ignore the potential for death, destruction, and other severe repercussions from open borders.

What is Operation Gladio, and how does it relate to the recent terror attacks?

Operation Gladio was a CIA-led initiative in Europe during the Cold War to stage terror attacks blamed on leftist groups, manipulating elections to prevent communist-friendly governments. Webb suggests that a similar strategy could be at play in the U.S., with intelligence agencies potentially orchestrating domestic terror to justify a crackdown on civil liberties and expand surveillance.

How does Whitney Webb view the role of Al Qaeda in the U.S. government’s narrative?

Webb asserts that Al Qaeda is a creation of U.S. intelligence services, along with Israel and the UK. She criticizes the current narrative of Al Qaeda sleeper cells entering the U.S. through open borders as a repackaged fear tactic to justify increased surveillance and control, similar to the post-9/11 War on Terror.

What is the significance of the Biden administration’s $8 billion weapons shipment to Israel?

The $8 billion arms deal, approved just before Biden left office, includes missiles, artillery shells, and bombs, many of which have been used in attacks on civilian targets in Gaza. Amnesty International has labeled Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, making the U.S. complicit in these violations by continuing to supply weapons.

What is the connection between Silicon Valley and the CIA, according to Whitney Webb?

Webb highlights the overlap between the CIA and the private sector, particularly Silicon Valley. Many tech companies were either started as CIA projects or by individuals with CIA ties. This relationship has expanded into areas like transhumanism, brain-chip technology, and predictive policing, blurring the lines between intelligence operations and private innovation.

Why did Justin Trudeau announce his resignation as Canadian Prime Minister?

Trudeau cited internal battles and a paralyzed Parliament as reasons for his resignation. His popularity had plummeted due to rising living costs, crises, and policy missteps. His deputy prime minister’s earlier resignation foreshadowed his decision, marking the end of a nearly decade-long tenure.

How does Whitney Webb view the future of digital ID and surveillance in the U.S.?

Webb warns that fear of terror attacks will be used to push for digital IDs, cashless societies, and pre-crime algorithms like those developed by Palantir. She argues that these technologies, if adopted, will lead to a techno-tyranny where surveillance and control are normalized under the guise of security.

What is the significance of the Canadian Parliament’s standing ovation for a former Nazi fighter?

The incident, where Canadian MPs applauded a 98-year-old Ukrainian veteran who served in a Nazi unit, highlighted the country’s historical revisionism and political missteps. Trudeau later blamed Russian propaganda for the embarrassment, further damaging his credibility.

What is Whitney Webb’s perspective on the role of independent media in intelligence operations?

Webb is skeptical of the independence of many prominent figures in the media, suggesting they may be influenced or controlled by intelligence agencies. She points to former CIA contractors like Sean Ryan, who use platforms like Joe Rogan’s podcast to spread narratives aligned with intelligence objectives, blurring the line between independent reporting and state propaganda.

come see us on tour in los angeles honolulu dallas texas baltimore atlantic city cohoes new york and providence rhode island go to jimmy door.com for a link for tickets and only there establishment media sucks all gas lighting so good luck bullshit we can't afford why he's fomenting this oh watch and see as

Let's look at some of how they get people believing all of this. And you've been speaking about this a lot. Since the attacks on New Year's Eve, we've seen a lot of things that look like transparent narrative management. They literally sent a reporter out

into the apartment of an alleged terrorist with chemicals sitting on the table and open Quran's. It was just, it was about as convincing as the CNN video in Syria. Or if he sniffs the backpack with sarin gas. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of. Yeah. It was so stage managed. It was absurd. It was almost insulting. It felt like they're just not even trying anymore.

So now, not long before this, you have Sean Ryan, who's a former Navy SEAL, former CIA contractor. Now he's out there in the independent media. And he went on Rogan. This is back in September. And he pitched...

that the open borders al-qaeda is coming over the borders and um then he suggests that the democrats are just doing it because they want the voters which uh joe to his credit uh saw something a little more sinister so we're just going to look at the end of this clip i think it's by design uh you know from from the government but i don't i think that they're

Look, I think that the government is more incompetent than it's ever been before. And I think they have one common goal, and that I think the goal is voting. You know, they want them to vote. But I don't think that they... I don't think they're competent enough to realize the death and destruction and the other repercussions that we're going to face by keeping that border open. You know, because...

Because they don't have anybody, you know, that they don't have anybody with any experience that's that's that they don't have any solid intelligence stuff going on. That's that's telling them like, hey, this is what's going to happen. It's all agenda driven. Jesus Christ. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does make sense. It does make sense that all they care about is voting is get the people in. Don't worry about the consequences. But the more insidious conspiracy would be that they want unrest.

Because it gives them an opportunity to clamp down on rights. I mean, shit, though. I mean, unrest. He pushes right back on that. They got really good at unrest. You know what I mean? In 2020, right? All through or even before 2020. Yeah. Up to that election. So I don't think they need to import terrorism in cartels. Yeah, but it's a different kind of unrest. The kind of unrest that you get from people blowing up Target is

is very different than the kind of unrest you get from a legitimate terror attack. Yeah. All right. So Joe's almost there, which he doesn't seem to like. He really does not want to go in that direction. So you responded to this clip. You said, well,

Please remember the history of the last 25 years and recognize this for what it is. Repackaged neocon slop brought to you by former spooks to get you to surrender your remaining freedoms in the name of fighting the war on domestic terror with consent manufactured via an American Gladio-style op using the same fucking CIA boogeymen as 2001 to 2003.

All right. And lo and behold, Ryan winds up being the person who is the recipient of the Tesla bombers manifesto. And then he does this whole theatrical thing. I'm disappearing for a few days with my family because I don't know what's going to happen to me after I release this. So but this person. Yeah.

Yeah, he's presenting himself as this independent truth teller. He's on the premier platform that codes that way, right? As the independent media fighting back against the establishment. Do we actually have an independent media? How much of it is, I assume you believe he's working for the intelligence agency, Sean Ryan, as do I. How much of the independent media space do you see as really being part of that op?

So I don't know. I mean, it's hard to say. Obviously, there's people that are arguably the biggest names. I think it's quite obvious that a lot of those people get sought out and bought out or willingly collaborate or have people that once they get big enough, handle their production and their shows, their guest management. And then, you know, the person that books the guests could be the spook, you know, and then line them up with all these people that feed them. I mean, it's really hard to know.

Because, you know, I don't have any insight to those people, including Sean Ryan, to know exactly what category he would fit in. But obviously the history of being a former CIA contractor and having active intelligence people on and just taking whatever they say as if it's absolute reality without asking for evidence or documents or anything, sort of treating all of these, you know, currently on the payroll people, you know, as whistleblowers without any sort of whistle, you know, leaks or anything.

Actual documentation, you know, I think it's, you know, that I don't think that's necessarily the right way to do that kind of reporting personally. Obviously I'm being very nice. But I think the clip you showed is different from the one I was commenting on. The one I was commenting on is we're in that same Rogan interview. He parrots this narrative that a guest on his show gave him named Sarah Adams, who's a former CIA targeting officer. Hard to know if it's really former though with some of these people. And she was,

Basically, echoing this narrative that because of the poorest southern border, which again is not exclusive to the Biden administration, it's not like Trump hermetically sealed the border when he was in office. And you have several decades of this happening, whether it's Republican or Democrat. But, you know, the poorest border has allowed Al Qaeda operatives to enter the U.S. and establish sleeper cells because they hate us for our freedom, guys. Remember that and how real that was? Right.

Um, yeah. So, you know, that's very frustrating to me because anyone who has really done their research about the national security state or foreign wars, uh, should know that Al Qaeda is 100% a creation of intelligence services, particularly the U S but I would argue also with the involvement of Israel and probably the United Kingdom as well. Uh, the great triumvirate of intelligence fuckery. Um, so, you know, um,

I think that particular narrative that's being talked about very much right now, you know, how convenient is that? Because I have been writing for a very long time about the efforts to implement, you know, after the war on terror, going back to the Bush era neocons, the plans on the books were also for a war on domestic terror.

And every administration, Trump included, have expanded that infrastructure significantly. Every single administration since 9-11. And it's very troubling. So if you look at the Biden administration's expansion of it and how they define domestic terrorists, it includes people who oppose government overreach. People who are opposed to any form of capitalism. Right?

Right. So it could be crony capitalism. It could be stakeholder capitalism. I mean, it could be any kind of, you know, whatever they choose to define as, as capitalism. You don't like the current economic system. You can be considered a domestic terrorist, or you don't like a government policy. You deem to be overreach, you know, I mean, it,

It's very vaguely defined what gets you on the naughty list. And during the previous Trump administration, basically the infrastructure for this was expanded to include what really ultimately comes down to pre-crime, but what they like to call predictive policing. And William Barr, when he was attorney general, made this official policy of the US government. And this was not reversed by Biden. And there's no indication that the incoming Trump administration plans to revert this, even though apparently they hate Bill Barr now.

But he's a career CIA mop-up man, so I really doubt that. He kind of helped clean up the Epstein mess for people, didn't he? So, you know, the war on domestic terror, to manufacture consent for that, you have to have, huh, domestic terror, just like the war on foreign terror necessitated, you know, some sort of attack, right?

to get us to go abroad, you know, that was the push from that. So if you have a variety of domestic attacks, which is why I say a Gladio style thing, you know, I, you know, Operation Gladio, and I'm not an expert on it. So I'm going to give just a very brief. Yeah, just explain that briefly for anyone who doesn't know what that was.

Yeah, so this was basically the CIA going to Europe and being like, we don't want the European governments or the Europeans to elect governments that we deem as sympathetic to the communists, i.e. Russia or whatever. And so we're going to stage terror attacks that we blame on leftist groups or the groups adjacent to the political parties we don't want to win and essentially use that to push

and basically have them be, you know, European governments be democratically elected, but manipulated into electing one certain party or one certain side of the political.

spectrum through terror, essentially. Which is obviously very bad and the intelligence services in Europe actually use these terror attacks as justification for something they never actually did but they wanted to bring Operation Condor then ongoing in South America, basically planned and run by the CIA and then executed of course by the governments, the military dictatorships in South America under their control. They wanted to import that to Europe as a way to stop the terror attacks

that these intelligence services were themselves creating, right? So basically- So basically saying people are being manipulated into essentially voting for fascism, right?

Right. Well, that's what that's you know, that was essentially what Operation Gladio was. And it wasn't just the CIA. It was organized crime. It was also the Vatican. And you had these different groups coming together and contributing to that in specific ways. And you also had the involvement of the the P2 Lodge in Italy, which is a very interesting rabbit hole for those interested in going down that. So basically a weird Freemason shadow government. Yeah, this is this is.

This is fucking. All right. While we're down the rabbit hole, last time we were here, we had Tom O'Neill on who wrote Chaos. And in Chaos, one of his revelations is he was doing research at the UCLA library and he found the MKUltra files from Gottlieb, from Jolly West. And one of the things he found was in their correspondence, I think this was West, saying that

We have successfully learned how to erase memories. These experiments have been a success. Now, the story we always hear about MKUltra is it was a crazy attempt to create Manchurian candidates that failed. But O'Neill's research strongly suggests it actually succeeded.

And they just kept that very quiet that they actually figured out how to do these things. When you look going back to Oswald, Timothy McVeigh, and now this most recently, where you have both of these alleged attackers from the same army base, do you think there's an MK ultra element in these attacks?

Well, you know, it's hard to say, but I think it's absolutely a certainty that if the CIA said, oh, we ended that program. Yeah, that's not true. If it's something that helps entrench, you know, their power and their dominance and by the CIA, you know, I don't necessarily just mean the agency. I mean, like where they come from. The CIA is a product really of of Wall Street. Yeah.

And in the corporations that are related, you know, I mean, it was Wall Street lawyers. Yeah. Yeah. And it was Wall Street lawyers and bankers who started the CIA. Yeah.

Yeah, so I mean, there's a huge overlap between CIA and the private sector. And now arguably, the CIA has moved much more into the private sector, specifically with the advent of Silicon Valley, if you look into how many of those companies were started either like as CIA projects or by people with CIA ties or any, you know, in QTEL or anything like that, you know, it's all pretty telling. But ultimately, what I'm trying to get, you know, as far as you know, the MKUltra thing, it's

It's very possible. The whole idea that they were trying to use torture and trauma to induce people into certain behaviors seems very...

likely that that continues and what better place to do that at, you know, something like a military base, especially one that's known for egregious sexual assaults. Um, and I believe even murder of, of, you know, female soldiers and stuff like that, that were unsolved. I mean, obviously there's violence happening there. Um, and would that be directed? I mean, obviously if it, if it happened in the past, you know, there's sort of this, uh,

what I would call a misconception that the naughty things the CIA did in the 50s and 60s and 70s, and then that were outed during the church committee, the idea that like, oh, that stopped anything, even though there was no accountability. Congress was totally stonewalled by the CIA, actually by William Barr, who was a lawyer for the CIA at the time. That was his main job at the time.

Funny how these people come pop up time and again. And, you know, it doesn't mean they stopped. There's no proof they stopped. Congress just stopped investigating. And obviously it makes sense that there was a lot of pressure applied to our political system to stop that.

And, you know, but again, unfortunately, we have to be in the realm of speculation here because it's not like any sort of evidence that would ultimately lead us to conclusively know that will ever be released to the public. So we're sort of stuck speculating, but we know that the lack of accountability of the CIA and the fact that they continue to do terrible things like they did decades ago, that all of this persists and that the CIA definitely does regularly engage

and torture of people without due process and whatever, would they use that to try and control people?

And what they do on our own soldiers, they experiment on U.S. soldiers all the time. People should look into these military installations in the U.S. that are part of this defense innovation unit and all this sort of merging again of Silicon Valley and the military trying to make these transhumanist soldiers and put chips in soldiers' brains so they can control drone swarms with their minds and like all the weird genetic engineering stuff. I mean, they're doing all of this to soldiers right now. So why wouldn't they?

And that's like admitted. It's not like the mainstream media like reports on it. But if you look for it, it's there, you know. So why wouldn't they, you know, try mind control by different means or even use those same means that allow them to control drone swarms with their brains, use that to manipulate soldiers in a different direction? I mean, they're about to be commercialized, the brain chip. So I want to, you know, they covertly use them on people. Yeah.

We don't know. You've spoken a lot about how many people have reversed themselves on civil liberties, on their beliefs about the FBI. I think you've seen that really, really in sharp relief since the election. I did a whole segment about Marc Andreessen doing this whole round of calling everything that restrains... Yeah, he's Dr. Robotnik without the mustache. Basically. Yeah.

talking about everything that restrains him is woke.

So you saw this, I actually, I went to the dissident dialogues, which was like this IDW conference in may. And it was very eyeopening for me because it was basically pairing the anti woke stuff, you know, uh, D I and trans with, and you know, weaker labor might be in your supply chain. So it was this very Jake Sullivan state department kind of foreign policy paired with ginning up outrage about, uh, cultural issues.

And we saw this deployed immediately after New Year's Eve. You have end wokeness immediately, this big account in that space. New York City, just a few hours after a jihadist killed 15 in New Orleans. Now, this rally had been planned in advance, had nothing to do with ISIS or anything like that. But immediately they frame it as if this was to celebrate the

this attack in New Orleans. I mean, after 9-11, they took an old film of Palestinians being handed candy by some NGO and said that was Palestinians celebrating 9-11. This is an old trope. Right, right. Well, what's new about that, although I guess this isn't really new, Nixon and Agnew presented themselves as fighting against the establishment in some way. Sure.

So you wrote this, which I think sums it up pretty well. I'd like you to elaborate on it.

Some of the same prominent people who rightly have been pointing out that the FBI and CIA are deeply corrupt, which they obviously are, are now saying we should believe those agencies about the motives and identities of those behind the recent attacks and also believe FBI, CIA people that the U.S. is now infiltrated and invested with al Qaeda operatives poised to bring chaos to the U.S. in 2025.

Even more odd, some of these people used to rant for hours about how Al Qaeda and ISIS were creations of the U.S. government, either directly or indirectly.

Funny how narrative management works. Al Qaeda is definitely a U.S. creation, and fear over current and or future attacks will be used to market a complete techno-tyranny takeover. You'll be told the digital ID, digital surveillance money, and Palantir big data pre-crime algos are the only ways to stop the terror attacks, and it will be disturbing to see how many fall for the ruse.

Don't give in to the fear and don't consent. Digital ID and many of these technologies will only stick if you voluntarily comply and adopt them.

So that's a pretty terrifying future that you're describing. You're giving, you're giving some prescription for how to avoid it, but yes, I'm not trying to be terrifying. I'm trying to be realistic of the, the, the problems that can arise when you give your brain a bag over to intelligence linked billionaires and CIA front men and where they plan overtly to take us. So,

You know, arguably there is this effort and we saw it during COVID for all of these quote unquote solutions to be rolled out that had nothing to do with viral infections. Like, you know, and arguably, you know, things like vaccine passports had nothing to do with

Whether you were, you know, it wasn't really based on public health policy. It was arguably a trial run for digital ID infrastructure, which is meant to be applied to health, among other things. And then things like the pre-crime algorithms of Palantir have been in testing for a long time. Predictive policing specifically, mainly in minority dominant communities in New Orleans and Los Angeles.

very biased, very messed up algorithms. But they were also used to distribute vaccines during the COVID era and decided which communities need the most and then pushed those vaccines to the same minorities that they have targeted previously through predictive policing and ice and things like that. Digital IDs.

are advancing rapidly, including from people that claim to be against vaccine passports and all this stuff during COVID like Ron DeSantis, for example, Florida is advancing very quickly to the digital driver's license world, the Florida smart ID card and all of this.

And so arguably really the only difference is the sales pitch at this point. So, you know, I've argued for, you know, well over a year now that they saw resistance to it the way it was being pitched during the COVID era. And so because ultimately we are governed and ruled

by a public private partnership, they move it out of the public sector and more into the private sector, you know, left to right, it's the same type of ping pong. And so ultimately, you know, now the sales pitch is going to be meant to appeal to the demographic that complained the most about that.

right-leaning Americans, give them a sales pitch that they're more likely to swallow. So that would be, this is the solution to crime, rampant crime. This is the solution to illegal immigration. And what better way to push that even further forward

on over than arguing, you know, having this sort of milieu of all these ISIS, Al Qaeda terror attacks, blame that on the border and be like, well, we need to, you know, we need to know who everyone is that's coming in or out, which is already a policy Trump campaigned on this cycle, the very precise biometric entry exit tracking system.

He called it. And that's, you know, essentially a recipe for a digital ID, not just for the border, but all ports of entry. And TSA has been moving in this direction for some time. And that clear private sector equivalent, you know, in airport security has been there to sort of normalize, you know,

the whole biometric stuff and it's really ultimately part of this global plan that's part of Interpol that every country in the world has basically agreed to the implementation of what Interpol calls the global policing goals.

which a lot of people, I would recommend you should read about those. They're rather interesting. And, you know, if they keep pushing this narrative enough about Al Qaeda, for example, we need to go after terror financing. Well, now we need visibility into every dollar spent, every,

everywhere in the country. And you can then sell, you know, a digital cashless, surveillable, programmable even society. And, you know, with pre-crime, the ultimate goal of total information awareness, the DARPA program that Palantir repackaged as a private sector thing, the goal of that was to stop terror attacks before it happened. But then they also wanted to apply that to stop pandemics before they happen. There was this multi-

multi-tier goal, you could argue. And the anthrax attacks right after 9/11 were all part of this. Actually, it was intended with the anthrax attacks to have multiple bioterror events happen after that. But lo and behold, the anthrax was traced back to a US military before they could convince everyone that had actually come from Iraq. And so that operation kind of got folded, but you can see that that was ultimately the plan.

And so if this narrative is sort of about Al Qaeda sleeper cells being activated or whatever, is sort of predictive programming for some sort of American Gladio thing, which I certainly hope it is not. But if it is, you know, the goal is to have people so scared and so freaked out and feel so insecure that they'll be willing to trade their remaining liberties and freedom

for that and ultimately a lot of these things particularly digital ID are really the linchpin and leading us into this digital transformation era that has a lot of names that some of them turn people off like the great reset and whatever but ultimately the goal is to lead people into this fourth Industrial Revolution which is basically sort of this post human future where AI basically runs everything and the tech overlords and

rule over us and they're trying to convince a lot of people right now that they will be benevolent overlords and they're so cool and they're anti-woke like you pointed out earlier it's kind of funny like Elon Musk basically like pisses off a huge amount of what he has cultivated as his base

you know, Trump's base basically. And then it was like, well, I'll just come back and make memes and talk about how I'm going to reach level 80 in the path of exile video game. And, you know, maybe tomorrow I'll tweet about how Disney turned a beloved character into a different race. And then they'll be back in my corner again. I mean, it's very easy for these people to play, play you and they've been doing it for years. But they have, yeah,

I don't know how much you've been online the last couple days, but no sooner did they start to lose the love of the peasants, they started really asking questions about these New Year's Eve attacks and how weird –

a lot of the surrounding incidents, like the reporter walking through the apartment, and all of a sudden this, and I'm not saying the story is not true, but anyone who really looks into these kinds of things knows about these grooming gangs in England. This is not a new story. All of a sudden in the last 24 hours, oh my God.

This is what we need to be obsessed with right now. Nobody's going to give me shit for that, right? What about the pedo grooming gang that was run by Israel in the US? Yeah. They're not mentioning that. So it sounds like the upshot here is that they're basically 10 steps ahead of the public.

And the public has no idea whatsoever. Right. Because the other thing and this is what always I mean, I am I you know, I mean, you're a wealth of knowledge on this. I'm obviously not. But intuitively, I just could not help but recoil from.

When people said in the run up to the presidential vote, I didn't vote for any for either of the major candidates. So I'm not here to advocate for one or the other or really compare them. But the idea that we had to elect Trump to save the country just seemed absurd on its face. Just it seemed absolutely absurd because of this.

because now you have, you know, intuitively, you could just sense the merger of not only capital with the state, but tech capital with the state. I mean, and to go back to what we talked to at the beginning of the interview, you know, a streamlined government, not only is it not necessarily a smaller government, it can very easily become a larger government. And less efficient if the algorithms don't work.

Well, that too. But also, once that infrastructure is there, let's say the pendulum swings and someone who wants to greatly expand government power, who says that outright, the tools are all there for them to do that. Indeed. Indeed. Indeed. Indeed. Indeed.

Welcome to the Jimmy Dore Show. Keaton Weiss and Russell Dobular filling in for Jimmy this week. Big news today. The big news of the day, of course, is

The world lost a great one today. Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister. Justin, we hardly knew you. Exactly. It's been only nine years. He announces his resignation from office. The holidays, I've also had a chance to reflect and have had long talks with my family about our future. Throughout the course of my career, any success I have personally achieved has

has been because of their support and with their encouragement. So last night over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today. Also that my dad is not my dad. I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process.

Last night, I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process. This country deserves a real choice in the next election. And it has become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election. Well, you know, I'll give him he went away easier than Joe Biden. Got to give him that. Right. That's saying something. Still mentally intact. Yeah. And he's still mentally intact.

Canada's Justin Trudeau says he will resign as party leader. That's right. And prime minister NPR reports. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans to resign on Monday after loud calls from within his own party to step down. Ending weeks of speculation, Trudeau said he will no longer lead his Liberal Party but will remain in office until a successor is selected.

Momentum for a Trudeau exit has built steadily since his deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, a close ally who also served as finance minister, resigned in stunning fashion on December 16th. Yes, that foreshadowed this by a few weeks.

Trudeau has been prime minister for nearly a decade after winning office at just 43 years old, but his popularity has plummeted with Canadians who blame Trudeau for higher costs of living and other problems. His tenure has also been hit by a string of crises and missteps, and increasingly his political allies have criticized his policies.

Taking a handful of questions from reporters, Trudeau defended his achievements in office, particularly his economic policies, saying he has worked to help Canada's middle class and to ease poverty. He repeatedly cited internal battles as the reason for his resignation, saying Parliament has been paralyzed for months. So, Rachel...

Blevins says another friend of Zelensky points out, yes, who supported escalation of NATO's war against Russia and leaves behind a legacy of increasingly authoritarian policies. No lies detected there. Deep Barrett says resignation of Kremlin

canadian prime minister justin trudeau should be of no surprise and inconsequential heading into upcoming canadian parliamentary elections already had record low support and approval rating poor economy may

made it worse. Conservative Polivary likely new PM. That's right, Pierre leading in the polls there. Margaret Kimberly points out Justin Trudeau, Canada's black-faced prime minister, resigns. He also invited a Nazi to speak to Canada's

parliament. That's right. That's right. Maybe the reason, says Benjamin Rubinstein, disgraced Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to resign in shame is because he spent his time talking to genocidal freaks about things that aren't happening instead of doing his job and helping Canadians. There you go. Highlighting that article there from just a couple of weeks ago. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with President of Israel Isaac

Herzog. So we'll take a trip down memory lane to pay tribute to Justin Trudeau. Flat out truth says never forget what dictator Trudeau did to the truckers because they were unvaccinated and free. Here's this piece of video. Are faced with citizens anxiety. We have a choice to make. Do we exploit that anxiety or do we allay it? Because a fair and successful world is

is a peaceful one. We believe we should confront anxiety with a clear plan to deal with its root causes. You know, it never occurred to me until watching video with his voice in voiceover, he really does sound like an audiobook. He really sounds like a book on tape. Like, just listen to his voice. It sounds like a guy who gets paid to record audiobooks. And we believe we should bring people together around shared purposes

Because what is the alternative? But the Germans were not being beckoned to Versailles to negotiate, but rather to have their fates determined for them. We will continue this in our next chapter. That's what it sounds like. It sounds like an audio book. Sounds like a book on tape. Yeah, he doesn't seem like somebody with the skills to have not lost power seven years ago. Like, it's amazing that he's been in power this long.

Well, this is the other thing, man. You know, I remember back in like the, you know, mid 2010s when he first burst onto the scene, he was a big heartthrob. Like, yeah, yeah. The ladies loved him. The girls loved him and Obama and these homoerotic tabloids. Yeah. Which, you know, look, I mean, I'll say this. He seems like a fairly handsome guy, but the minute he opens his mouth, I mean, I'm sorry. Like, I don't see how how it goes any further than that.

to exploit anxiety. I made a one night stand. To turn it into fear and blame, to reject others because they look or speak or pray differently than we do. Every single day, we need to choose hope over fear, diversity over division. Wow. Diversity over division.

In Canada, in Canada, mind you. So, yes, that is quite the juxtaposition there of rhetoric versus that imagery of the trucker crackdown. CNN contributor Scott Jennings says, God bless those truckers. So as news broke of this, he thought of that very example that we just showed you right there. So let's play this. This is fairly brief.

Thank you. I think. You want to talk about Justin Trudeau? I wanted to talk about Canada. You want to talk about Canada? God bless the truckers. That's what I'm saying. There's a direct line from those truckers to what's happening today. Good riddance. I'm sleeping. It's only Monday.

Only Monday is my first day back. This is hard on me. Sarah, please take it. I'm going to take it from here because guess what I'm going to do? Talk about Canada. Yes, ma'am. We've got some breaking news. Real professional newsroom they got going over there.

Glenn Greenwald, yes, one of my favorite stories of 2024, maybe my favorite, was when Zelensky visited Trudeau and they went to the Canadian Parliament to give a standing ovation to a 98-year-old Ukrainian hero, quote-unquote, who it turned out was a voluntary Nazi fighter

For the Waffen SS in World War II. Yeah, who could forget this? A standing ovation for a Ukrainian veteran of the Second World War who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98.

invited by house speaker anthony rhoda to witness ukrainian president vladimir zelensky's address to parliament yaroslav punka is one of his constituents he's a ukrainian hero a canadian hero and we thank him for all his service that was the jubilant scene friday now new details have emerged about that war service mps applauded

HUNKA served in the 1st Galician Division, a voluntary unit commanded by the Nazis. The unit is complicit in the Holocaust. This Jewish human rights campaigner says there's no defending former soldiers like HUNKA. You swore allegiance to Hitler and you were involved with the massacre of civilians.

So it doesn't matter if you try and claim that you were defending against communism. You were still involved with the Nazi war machine. The division's history is murky. Its volunteers united by a desire to take on the Soviet Union, says this academic. For them, the ultimate evil was Moscow occupation. Right. Communism, the ultimate evil, not Nazism. It's a common list of...

priorities i should say common ranking of priorities amongst the liberals what they say liberals will choose fascism over socialism every time yep uh you want to see how badly trudeau destroyed that country when was the last time you heard an american say if so and so wins the election i'm moving to canada

They don't say that anymore. They don't really say that anymore. That's true. You don't really hear that. Now you hear Donald Trump saying he wants to make Canada the 51st state.

Yeah. Now they're like, I want to I'll move to Greece. I'll move to Thailand. They don't say I'll move to Canada. It's true. You don't hear that as an example anymore. And then who could forget? Obviously, Justin Trudeau blames Russian propaganda for Canadian parliament honoring a Nazi. Yes. Yes. Trying to trying to spin the excuse machine here.

Obviously, it's extremely upsetting that this happened. The Speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized. But this is something that is deeply embarrassing to the Parliament of Canada and, by extension, to all Canadians. I think particularly of Jewish MPs and all members of the Jewish community across the country who are celebrating Yom Kippur or commemorating Yom Kippur today.

I think it's going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine as we did last week with announcing further measures to stand with Ukraine in Russia's illegal war against it.

You brought a great, great character example there, too, as well. So Ryan Knight, who runs the power to the people account, proud socialist, to me has it exactly right.

Justin Trudeau announces he is resigning as prime minister of Canada. Liberalism is failing all over the world as the material conditions of the working class decline and reactionary forces on the right gain power. Yes, that's what you're seeing all over the world. And this was something that would have happened here had it not been for the pandemic, which I will say was...

Very convenient. I will just I will say that it came along at a very convenient time for the in the liberal class of unknown origin. Right. Yeah, it came about. It came about at a very convenient time for the liberal class to sort of regain a foothold that they had lost and were going to lose again in a landslide here in the United States. Had it not been for the pandemic,

The liberals got a second lifeline of sorts with the overturning of Roe v. Wade. And that kind of saved the Democrats ass in the midterms in 2022. But now that we're four years out from COVID and you see a common trend.

A common trend is that governments in power during those pandemic into post-pandemic years are having a hard time maintaining power now. Parties who presided over that period of time are paying a political price because of how

All of that was handled, not just from a public health standpoint, since every country kind of varied in that way, but economically. The shock to the system was just too great for these political parties to withstand. And now they are paying a very heavy price for it. Now, Trudeau's reign was, as we just saw, I mean, a tragic comedy of errors and of ridiculousness.

But it's the same ridiculousness as the liberal class here, as the Obama years into the Biden years worldwide. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. This this is a real sea change of a year all over the world. And unfortunately, in my opinion, as someone with left politics, I'm

The populist left has not been able to gain that foothold. It's easier for populist right-wing parties to do that because populist right-wing parties, as we just went over in very thorough detail with Whitney Webb, do not challenge the consolidation of capital. They don't face the same resistance. Right. So they don't face the same resistance because...

Palantir can work with Donald Trump. Right. Right. That could work better with Donald Trump. They could work better with Donald Trump if they strip all the pretense of democracy and, you know, civic responsibility and equity and all that shit. Right. They don't have to keep the mask on anymore. And so it's a lot more easily integrated with capitalist power structures than any populist left movement. But as Ryan points out here...

liberalism just couldn't hold. And this is something, you know, I feel vindicated about. I'm not happy about it, but I do feel vindicated. This is what

We have been saying for now just about a decade since Trudeau took power. I mean, in 2015, we were saying you are not going to be able to gloss over the cruelties of capitalism with a sort of, I will say,

benign neoliberalism because you can have neoliberalism of the Reagan variety or the Obama, right? You're not going to be able to smooth that over for much longer. This is going to implode. Liberalism will implode. And now it has imploded. And now we're here. We would have been here four years ago. There's not a doubt in my mind. Absent COVID, we would have been here four years ago. That gave them a lifeline. They were not able to seize...

control of power for long because they are ultimately uninterested in improving the material conditions of working class people. They are just totally uninterested in that. And now they're paying a price all over the world. Right. Well, there's no rationale for a Wall Street owned left party. And that's been the problem with neoliberalism around the world. In America, you have a particularly extreme and blatant version of it. But

But it's been the same everywhere. Neoliberalism is basically selling out the state to capital and covering up that process by appealing to culture war issues, keeping people distracted with these increasingly bizarre and arcane debates where you've just you've completely left the

the normal range of human concerns when you're talking about whether children should be at drag shows, but that's what they want. They want you fighting over these just absolutely pointless ideas that don't really affect 99.99% of people, anything to avoid a discussion about economics for the right wing who don't give a shit about these people either.

because their whole philosophy, because their whole ethos is bootstraps and pull yourself up and make your own way. They don't really have to offer anything. They just have to sell this mythos. Yeah, no, look, you get rid of the immigrants and you close the borders and you crack down on the criminals. And hey, it's going to be jobs for everybody, right? Don't you want to be self-sufficient?

Um, and Hey, you know, in America, things got bad enough that finally the women said, you know what, if I need an abortion, I'll take a bus. Right.

I'm just not voting for this anymore. And that was it. That was it. There is no rationale for their existence. And really, as people started to find out pretty quickly, there's no real rationale for supporting these right wingers either. But there's less of an obvious ideological inconsistency. They're promising something.

It seems more plausible, whereas the liberals are just love Trump's hate. There's just nothing there. Right. It's just it's all just it's it's you're basically making an appeal to emotion. That's basically what liberal politics is. It's all about virtue. Yes. And, you know, on the right side of that.

you know, on, on the right side of things, as you talked about, um, they just have to package a certain mythos. Well, we just have to put things in your hands, right. As the individual. And, um,

If things are in your hands as the individual, then guess what? If it doesn't work out for you, who's fault? It's yours, right? Because we deferred to the individual. And what Whitney Webb was talking about earlier is that it's very easy to trick people into voting for their own subjugation, especially when you package it in this way. And especially when the people who are corralling people into this worldview are people like Elon Musk,

who really seek to consolidate power irrespective of who is actually in office, of what the state actually represents. Once tech grows to the point where it can exert the kind of influence over the society that it now does,

it becomes much less important who the president is. Right. And so and so that game plan fuses very nicely with this sort of libertarian worldview, with this sort of libertarian orthodoxy that defers so much to the private sector anyway. Right. And here you are. And this is going to happen all over the world. And, you know, there's talk about, you know, Donald Trump is he's now tweeting candidates should become the 51st state. Right.

As bad as Trudeau has fucked shit up, I'd be shocked if you have popular will saying that Canadians want to join the United States. Why? Because at the end of the day, after all's said and done, if Canada were to join the United States, you know what they would lose? Health care. Health care. Right. Exactly. So at the end of the day, that's what you're being corralled into. Right. When you turn power over to the right wing, you're giving up power.

your health care, right? I mean, and which is going to make your life so much harder. And so it's a sad situation, but it's something that we saw coming for a decade. We've been screaming this was going to happen for a decade now. Ignored, smeared, you're, you know, how will breaking up the banks stop racism? Hillary Clinton said. Well, not breaking up the banks didn't stop racism either, did it? Well, well, well, no. And if you remember Hillary,

They were gleeful, gleeful about getting rid of us. Remember Chuck Schumer? Oh, for every blue-collar Democrat we lose, we're going to pick up two Republicans in the suburbs. I remember all these mindless libs saying, we don't need you. We don't need you, Pete. We don't need you, Bernie. And we told them, like, you're going to see, man. You're losing a generation of voters. You're not just losing voters in this election. You're creating a structural disadvantage.

that in the end is going to bite you in the ass, and it did. That materialized too. I mean, look at who the core constituencies of the Bernie campaigns were, Latinos and young men. And where did Trump make the biggest inroads this time? Latinos, young men. Boom. That tells a story. ♪

Welcome to the Jimmy Dore Show, everybody. Keaton Weiss and Russell Dabular here filling in for Jimmy this week. I want to catch you up on some of the recent Israel news here with a few recent headlines. This one from January 3rd. Far-right Israeli lawmakers demand complete cleansing of northern Gaza. Mask coming off. Look at this headline. Gaza didn't get enough winter shelters. Now babies are dying out there.

in the cold. And what is the third headline? What's the development? What is the United States response? White house to approve massive weapons sale to Israel by Kyle Anzalone, uh, of the great anti-war.com sources speaking about the $8 billion arms deal said the Biden administration informally informed Congress, man, he is really going down that checklist on the way out the door. Oh yeah. 14 more days, two weeks from today, uh,

is the changing of the guards. Before President Joe Biden leaves office, he will approve one more massive arms sale to Israel.

The $8 billion sale of missiles and artillery shells comes as human rights groups have labeled Israel's war in Gaza as a genocide. Axios reported on Friday the State Department has notified Congress informally, quote unquote, of an $8 billion proposed arms deal with Israel that will include munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters as well as artillery shells.

Author Barack Ravid did not define what it means to informally notify Congress of the sale or if it fulfills the White House's requirement to notify Congress of arms deals. The massive arms sale to Tel Aviv comes after Amnesty International declared Israel's onslaught in Gaza a genocide.

Amnesty International's research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, the organization said in a landmark new report published today. The report, released in early December, explained,

The sale includes AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, Hellfire AGM-114 missiles, 155mm artillery rounds, small diameter bombs, JDAM kits, and 500lb bombs. Many of these munitions have been used by Israel during its campaign of extermination in Gaza, including attacks on civilian targets.

In June, CNN reported that Israel used U.S. small diameter bombs in an attack on a school that killed 40 civilians. So the same weapons that they have been caught and documented using against civilian targets are apparently coming to them one more time on Biden's way out the door to the tune of $8 billion.

In October, the Washington Post noted the Biden administration has received nearly 500 reports alleging Israel used U.S. supplied weapons for attacks that caused unnecessary harm to civilians in the Gaza Strip. Five. Think of that number. You know, you think 500. The war is what? How many days old is this war now? Just a little over 500 days. That's that's one per day. That's about one instance per day. Right.

Amnesty International is calling on the U.S. and other states that provide Israel with arms to cut off the flow of weapons to stop the genocide. States that continue to transfer arms to Israel at this time must know they are violating their obligation to prevent genocide and are at risk of becoming complicit in genocide, said Agnes Calamard, the secretary general there.

of the organization. You're starting to see, on a good note, and we'll get to the rest of this in a moment, you're starting to see multiple countries now threaten IDF soldiers with prosecution for war crimes if they set foot

in their... on their land. You're seeing IDF soldiers being advised, hey, don't travel, don't go on vacation to a country like Brazil, because they can arrest you. Not because you're Jewish, not even because you're Israeli, because you're IDF, and

And the IDF has now been they are now wanted for war crimes by the ICC. So any state party to the Rome statute has grounds to arrest any IDF soldier that sets foot

on their state and uh good on them for doing that yeah we saw that recently in Australia where they stopped some IDF soldiers from entering they were coming to visit their grandmother and they wouldn't allow them in the country they were putting them through an extensive screening process um the sick comedian I just showed in the other segment yo hey spawner he got his uh concerts canceled in Australia that wasn't by the government that was by the venue

And Netanyahu wasn't able to go to Poland. He wanted to go for the Auschwitz anniversary. That's right. And they made it clear he'd be arrested if he entered the country. So this is phase two. And unfortunately, I think that the best we're going to be able to get

is to attempt to destroy this sick, genocidal country through economic boycott and sanction and isolate it around the world. But saving the Palestinians, it's not looking very good.

So Max Blumenthal quote tweets this article. He says, so here's the deal. Biden soaks American taxpayers for another mega shipment of munitions to the Israeli Holocaust machine. And in exchange, they get pictures of shredded children every day in their Twitter posts.

Professor Zinke says just days after Israel's disappearance of Dr. Abu Safia, don't forget they've been raiding the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza these past couple of weeks. The Biden-Harris administration approved another $8 billion in weapons to Israel. They could have used their leverage to demand his release, but

But didn't Democrats, our partners in this genocide, don't vote for them again. You know, that's a good point. That's a good point. There is a doctor that was recently abducted. He was accused without evidence, with no evidence whatsoever.

You know there's no evidence when the AP reports that there's no evidence that he was a Hamas combatant. And you would think, yeah, if they wanted to send them some money, they could say, hey, you have to let this doctor go. We need a proof of life on this guy. But nope.

No such thing. No such thing. No conditions. No conditions. All those State Department hearings where Matthew Miller and Fat Sager were up there saying, well, our Israeli partners are investigating X, Y, or Z instance, and we expect to hear from them soon. Well, here you are now, 14 days left until they leave and in come the new bosses. Any follow-ups?

from any of these instances. We haven't even had a follow-up. We covered because Biden gave a presidential medal of freedom to Jose Andres, who's the head of the World Central Kitchen. We don't even have a follow-up on that.

That happened in April. There was supposed to be an investigation. We're going to get to the bottom of did they fire on the world's central kitchen cars on purpose. They're looking into it. They'll get to the bottom of it. That was nine months ago. Have we gotten that? No. And that's when the white Europeans got killed. The media was very upset about that. The media was very upset about that. And we don't have any answers for that. So, yeah, there will be no leveraging of anything, no asking for this in exchange for that. Nope. No strings attached ever.

How many times, says ACES, has Biden bypassed Congress to send Israel weapons and money over the last year? Usama Makdisi, for the record, the U.S. has supplied Israel with $22 billion of military weapons and aid since October 7th, 2023, to enable Israel's genocide and

And Gaza and eight billion more now out the door with just a couple of weeks left. It's just unconscionable. It's just unconscionable. I mean, I see really the only word for it. And any pretense that the West has any sort of claim against.

to morality, to decency, to lawfulness, to order, to rules has just really been trampled and spat upon by the Western leaders themselves over this past year. To think how you can be continuing this at this point is just, it is unconscionable. It's the only word that comes to mind. I hate to repeat myself.

Yeah, it's like Joe Biden got his checklist from Asmodeus on the way out. Right, yeah. Free criminal judges that made profits from locking up teenagers, drove them to suicide. Yeah, now we got to...

We got to get those guys out of jail, right? Yeah. We got to make sure to send that last of that money to Israel. Everyone's talking about HB one visas. Uh, this story kind of flew under the radar. Biden increased the number of visas by tens of thousands that would be available, uh, including in the trucking industry where the truckers are already devastated. Right. Um, so yeah, no, it's just like the, the evil wishlist on the way out the door. He's just checking every box.

That's a man who doesn't care about going to hell. He said he was Catholic. Now I don't believe him. Yeah, and I don't even believe that anymore. Yeah, I think that's bullshit too. Yep. Add that to the very long list of Biden lies. Not even a real Catholic. He's not even a real Catholic. You know, he says he's a Catholic. He doesn't even care about going to hell. He'll be lucky if he lives out the year and he's sending another $8 billion to Israel. He doesn't believe in hell. He doesn't believe in hell. Come on, we know that.
