Decided to listen to the full episode that was cut up into 5 mins in the vid Greenwald posted.

It's interesting.

Please tell us what you learn.

  1. He doesn't like neocons
  2. He, and Breitbart dude Alex Marlow are 100% convinced that Trump is not going to pursue regime change. "The only guy capable of standing up to all these outside influences."

Sounds like something happened to change that.

Yeah, I think that'll be my next post. What exactly happened with Trump to change that.

Although probably a part of that is flattery. When you want someone to do/not do something, you flatter them and say, for instance "you're the only one who can withstand the pressure to start a war in Iran".

To the tinfoil point: maybe it was effective flattery that would benefit a bunch of people to magically stop.

Actually Max Blumenthal is saying that Trump was surrounded by advisors/FBI, etc, that had him fully convinced him that Iran was plotting multiple assassination attempts on him. And that Iran was responsible for the Butler PA assassination attempt.

That's why Trump said, "it's either him or me" (in regards to the killing of the Iranian leader).

I'll give more details in the next couple days.

I can totally see Trump going for this Iran thing if he was convinced that the attempt on his life came from Iran.

That said, I've read many say that this event was staged.

I always go back to this point with all this stuff.

We know Israel influences US politics. They are not the only foreign government that does so nor the only special interest that does so. But, they do it. It's indisputable. I know that governments kill political figures. I know that war benefits bankers and the military industral complex. I know that Israeli government wants to weaken Iran.

I know I can't trust any US president or the US government for that matter.

What am I left with? Plan accordingly. Tend to my family and community. Prepare for bad times. Me figuring out which group or individual is doing which specific little detail is of little value to my future.

I cannot for the life of me understand how any awake and informed person could have confidence in the US government after all we know has been revealed. Forget the Kirk Assassination. That's nothing. Forget this Iran thing. That's nothing.

But hey, that's just mine take.

Breitbart editors and writers are pro Israel.

In fact, senior editor Joel Pollak who lives in Pacific Palisades is orthodox Jewish and a staunch supporter of Israel and Zionism.

Alex Marlow lives in Santa Monica.

Andrew Breitbart grew up in Westwood/Brentwood.

edit: I rely on Breitbart for news about Los Angeles because local news outlets like LA Times are inundated with unreadable puff pieces
