As we have learned now that the US and British military have launched strikes against targets in Yemen, it seems like a tweak in the direction of war with Iran. This is the next step towards a full-scale war of Iran, which the foreign policy ghouls in Washington have been fantasizing about for decades. So let's see how this current conflict and escalation, as well as being an awful human rights crisis and leading to unnecessary death, is part of a globalist plan. And who will benefit from such a conflict, and whether or not that's you? Get ready to believe me, because we re telling you it s significant. And if you don t believe us, then you re in for a treat.

00:00:34.000Remember, there's an episode every single day to educate and elevate our consciousness together.
00:00:52.000Thanks for joining us on our voyage to truth and freedom that we are undertaking together.
00:00:56.000Avoiding war, hopefully uniting in a way that means that they won't be able to exploit and control us through cultural war techniques and constant amplification of fear.
00:01:05.000Now, you will have heard if you watch Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones or look out your window once in a while that there's an imperialist war escalating in the Middle East.
00:01:13.000We're aware of what's happening in Gaza and now in the Yemen there are skirmishes, strikes and attacks against Houthi rebels that might lead to a full-scale war of Iran because that's where they get their backing.
00:01:24.000Let's have a look at who will benefit from such a conflict and whether or not that's you.
00:01:28.000First of all, Tucker Carlson has tweeted, Blinken claims we're bombing Yemen to protect oppressed poor people and no doubt protect democracy.
00:01:37.000This is the next step towards full-scale war of Iran which the foreign policy ghouls in Washington have been fantasizing about for decades.
00:01:52.000What's going on in Gaza, Russia, Ukraine, still being funded.
00:01:56.000And now it seems like a tweak in the direction of war with Iran.
00:01:59.000Now, remember, it seems like a million years ago, but it's probably six months ago when those boxes were found in Trump's possession and people said, oh, those bloody boxes, even though, you know, Biden had boxes as well.
00:02:10.000Well, Trump apparently kept those boxes to demonstrate that it wasn't him that was lobbying and advocating for war with Iran, but in fact, The establishment.
00:02:18.000And as you know, Iran is one of the countries that always crops up on those lists for New American Century and who we gotta take out and who's got just a bit too much oil for our liking.
00:02:26.000So let's see how this current conflict and escalation, as well as being an awful human rights crisis and leading to unnecessary death, is part of, apparently, a globalist plan.
00:02:35.000Alex Jones also says Iran is sucking us into a trap.
00:02:39.000Which is an appalling and unpleasant image.
00:02:41.000A US-owned cargo ship was just hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen.
00:02:45.000Let's have a look at the legacy media reporting on this story and some comments from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and see where the establishment wants you to go with your thinking before giving you some helpful alternatives.
00:02:56.000We have some significant breaking news just in to us.
00:03:30.000This, of course, comes in the wake of those Houthi rebel strikes on ships in the Red Sea, those strikes on commercial ships that we've been talking about now for weeks.
00:03:38.000It is, of course, the potential for a big escalation of the growing conflict in the Middle East.
00:03:42.000You know those commercial ships that you've never thought about before or heard of before?
00:03:45.000They've been hit by missiles, so let's get this escalation on the road!
00:03:55.000A newly released video shows Houthi rebels promising to retaliate for those strikes.
00:04:01.000Those bloody Houthi rebels coming around here stealing my job, shooting my kids, nicking my crops.
00:04:06.000I don't know what I'm supposed to think about the Houthi rebels yet, but I know I don't like them and I know I'm willing to pay a lot of taxes to ensure their way of life is stamped out now!
00:04:14.000Today, a U.S.-owned cargo ship was hit by a ballistic missile off the coast of Yemen.
00:04:22.000The attack by Iranian-backed Houthi militants caused no injuries or significant damage, but it follows Friday's retaliatory strikes by the United States and Britain.
00:04:44.000I mean, if you think back to the Iraq war, just one consonant away from Iran, don't you feel like, at the beginning, you went, is this just to, like, get resources and collapse their whole infrastructure and take over the country and offer opportunities?
00:06:11.000Because public trust in us is at an all-time low.
00:06:14.000People think that we are warmongers, exploitative colonialists, imperialists that don't care about our domestic population, far less the Houthis of the Yemen and their malfeasant activities.
00:06:24.000Could we call it Prosperity Guardian, or is that too much like a shit Marvel movie and it sounds too much like a lie?
00:06:31.000No, I think we are going to call it Prosperity Guardians of the Galaxy.
00:06:37.000Together with more than 20 countries to defend the safety and security of commercial shipping across the Red Sea.
00:06:41.000And then with doing that thing, 20 countries, if it was bad, why would all these other countries that we're basically in charge of through NATO and the UN be involved?
00:06:50.000It's also why over a dozen countries have made clear that The Houthis will be held accountable for future attacks.
00:06:57.000We'll continue to defend maritime security in the region as part of our overall effort.
00:07:02.000I've heard this so many times now, I like, I can't even get it up for this now, can you?
00:07:08.000Like when you've just sort of like, I think I've seen this one!
00:07:11.000Like, it's even if you put like on a Seinfeld or something, you're like, oh have I seen that?
00:07:15.000Oh no, it's a good one, this, this is good, it's got Newman in it.
00:07:17.000Likes an episode of Friends, like, the one where Joey is a hoothie and Ra's gonna invade there to protect all of the oil.
00:07:25.000I'm afraid we left that with Matthew Perry.
00:07:29.000To ensure the free flow of commerce that is so vital to people around the world.
00:07:33.000Well, at least it's naked propaganda, so that's something.
00:07:36.000Okay, so that's what Antony Blinken expects you to believe.
00:07:39.000Let's see if there's another way of looking at this mad burgeoning catastrophe.
00:07:43.000With no popular mandate, with no congressional or parliamentary authorization, without even an attempt at a serious explanation, the Biden administration in the US and the Sunak government in the UK have carried out an illegal act of war against an impoverished nation.
00:07:56.000That's not what we just saw on the telly, is it?
00:08:05.000The attack on Yemen is a major escalation of the developing war in the Middle East.
00:08:10.000Since the beginning of Israel's war in Gaza, the U.S.
00:08:12.000and its imperialist allies in NATO have overseen a massive militarization of the region, directly targeting Iran.
00:08:19.000This is itself part of an expanding global war, including the US-NATO war against Russia and the developing economic and military conflict against China.
00:08:27.000I'm really terrified that, you know, like the most extreme out there conspiracy theorists, like they say, what they're going to do is there's going to be these escalating events and you're just going to be locked in your home and you're going to have to wear...
00:08:39.000Like, how long are we going to just watch all of these pieces coming into place?
00:08:43.000War, war, disease X. Like, their biggest concern seems to be, we've got to stop this disinformation and these goddamn Houthis.
00:08:51.000Well, I'm worried about this constant propaganda and this escalation of conflicts around the world that we're funding about a A little bit of insularity.
00:08:58.000Let's just deal with our country, shall we?
00:09:01.000What might fascinate you if you care about conventional politics anymore is that Tucker Carlson is frequently described as far-right and a white supremacist, and this text is from a socialist news organization.
00:09:11.000So both the extreme right, to take the analysis of the contemporary mainstream, and the extreme left are saying the same thing.
00:09:19.000And what I would offer you is, you want decentralised power so that you can have various communities that are governed by the principles that are appealing to the cultures and communities that are directly affected by the legislation that they're voting for, not this mad globalist behemoth that tells us all that we're wrong or racist or mad or disgusting for some reason, while marauding around the world waging war against whoever gets in their way, with the added side effect of keeping us all terrified and locked up.
00:09:41.000US officials are warning that President Biden's decisions could lead to a major regional war, telling the Huffington Post that no one can rein in Biden.
00:09:53.000Biden did not even see fit to go on national television to explain the launching of a new war, under conditions in which there is overwhelming popular opposition to the expansion of war in the Middle East.
00:10:09.000As the Pentagon was planning to attack Yemen, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin was admitted to the intensive care unit of Waterreed Hospital with the knowledge of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but unbeknownst to the President.
00:10:20.000This bizarre episode underscored the reality that US war-making is operating on autopilot, increasingly outside the pretence of civilian oversight.
00:10:28.000It's not even like this is part of Ameri- HELLO AMERICA!
00:10:59.000The American media, with the same breathless reporting that has accompanied every US military operation, proclaims that a country with a gross domestic product 700 times smaller than the United States is carrying out intolerable actions against which the American military is forced to defend itself.
00:11:12.000Overnight, Yemen's Houthis have been turned into a new bogeyman requiring urgent military action without any discussion or explanation.
00:11:19.000The United States has dispatched to the Middle East a massive military armada consisting of two aircraft carrier battle groups, multiple guided missile destroyers, an unknown number of submarines and dozens of warplanes.
00:11:30.000How much money is this already costing?
00:11:32.000Like in the UK, we've got this COVID inquiry at the moment.
00:12:31.000These forces have provided logistics, reconnaissance and target selection to Israel in a deliberate effort to provoke retaliation from Iran and its allied forces, such as the Houthis.
00:12:41.000Yes, supposedly it is Yemen that is the aggressor, carrying out unprecedented attacks on US military forces deployed in the Red Sea, thousands of miles from the US border.
00:12:50.000If someone's in your house and you ask them to leave and then they don't leave and you sort of like flick a peanut shell at them, you can hardly be called the aggressor, can you?
00:13:00.000American imperialism, which has a military larger than that of the next 10 countries combined, claims to be waging a defensive war on the other side of the world against a small, oppressed, impoverished country.
00:13:10.000Wherever there is a challenge, Hank and Roy Spim will be there, ready to carry on the primordial struggle between man and inoffensive tiny insects.
00:13:21.000We're not interested in a war with Yemen, asserted the Pentagon on Friday.
00:13:59.000In fact, the imperialist powers have been waging a war against the population of Yemen for nearly a decade.
00:14:04.000It's just been going on, been funding that.
00:14:06.000Do you hear about it sometimes, don't you?
00:14:07.000Syria, bombing, droning, Yemen, you hear it.
00:14:09.000It's just in the background of your life, almost one of those things, is it now?
00:14:12.000The Houthis in Yemen have been subject to ruthless slaughter, waged by Saudi Arabia, but armed and financed by the United States.
00:14:19.000Oh, Saudi Arabia, special dispensation.
00:14:21.000Where have we seen this bit from 9-11?
00:14:23.000According to the United Nations, 377,000 people have been killed in a genocidal campaign that has involved blockades resulting in mass starvation and disease.
00:14:34.000He mentioned poverty, but it's poverty that they're making worse.
00:14:37.000First under Obama, the US financed this assault with more than $54 billion in military equipment, aided and abetted by its imperialist allies, including the UK.
00:14:45.000The devastation of Yemen is part of more than 30 years of unending and expanding war spearheaded and led by American imperialism.
00:14:52.000The only difference between like the left and right at this stage is in the left you'll hear more words like imperialism.
00:14:58.000I know in America you think the left is like Joe Biden or something.
00:15:01.000These are people about disempowering the establishment and you would say those ideas didn't work too well in Soviet Union or China but They've got the same enemy that everyone else has got.
00:15:10.000This kind of capitalist, corporatist, globalist state.
00:15:23.000Culminating in the war against Serbia in 1999.
00:15:26.000The invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, two trillion dollars, remember?
00:15:29.000The second war against Iraq in 2003, ka-ching!
00:15:32.000The war against Libya, weekend in Bernice, Gaddafi in the back of the Jeep, and the CIA-backed civil war in Syria that began the same year.
00:15:39.000Every single administration since that of Bill Clinton has authorised military operations, airstrikes and destabilisation operations in Somalia, across the Gulf of Arden from Yemen, seeking to control the critical waterway leading to the Suez Canal, where presumably there's vital trade routes and commercial requirements.
00:15:56.000All the while we're in this escalating climate of wokeness, but they're just going around bombing brown and black people left and right without ever mentioning that that might be creating tension.
00:16:06.000The launching of military strikes against Yemen marks a new stage in the deepening imperialist military offensive throughout the Middle East and beyond.
00:16:12.000and its imperialist allies are waging a de facto war against Iran, working to eliminate Iran's military allies throughout the Middle East.
00:16:19.000The strikes against Yemen are directed at Inserting Iran and provoking it into retaliation against US forces, which could be used to justify a full-scale war against Iran, which seems like a pretty recognizable playbook.
00:16:28.000We've all seen the images of China and the South Sea military bases of the US, all the while we're continually told China are very aggressive.
00:16:35.000Well, Someone flipped off one of our military bases earlier!
00:16:39.000The immediate antecedent for the escalating war in the Middle East, the collapse of Ukraine's Spring Offensive, but the imperialist powers are doubling down.
00:16:46.000Backing Ukraine is key to the West's security, declares The Economist, while Foreign Affairs asserts that victory is Ukraine's only true path to peace.
00:17:05.000Overriding all of this, the United States is involved in a struggle to fend off the challenge posed by China to its global hegemony, which threatens to trigger a shooting war in the Pacific.
00:17:13.000In the US media and political circles, there's growing talk of a new axis of evil involving Iran, China, and Russia.
00:17:19.000Each one of these conflicts cannot be understood in isolation.
00:17:23.000The bombing of Yemen is part of a global counter-revolution in which the imperialist powers are seeking to re-establish direct control over their former colonies.
00:17:32.000It's interesting sometimes when you get an idea, a fleeting glance, a sort of a macro-narrative, usually obscured by the kind of pap that the legacy media put out.
00:17:40.000Yemen and the Houthis are trying to kill you and your kids.
00:17:44.000What, what, what do you mean there's Iran and there are potential global alliances that could subvert the power of the dollar and collapse the American economy?
00:17:52.000This stuff is like, you immediately sort of sense truth.
00:18:58.000Why do we just go, oh well, they're doing that over there.
00:19:00.000So you have to escalate the idea that they're somehow a threat,
00:19:02.000that the nation has the right to be embarking on all these perilous, scurrilous, expensive wars,
00:19:07.000that your funding needs to be spent on.
00:19:09.000Meanwhile, when it comes to your country, if you've got any concerns about your nation and its constitution and the way that it's headed, you are a racist.
00:19:27.000But it's very curious, and this is what gives me the most fear I think, is that they don't seem to care.
00:19:31.000The bit where it said Joe Biden don't even do a press conference now, probably he's busy down that bike shop staring at bike helmets wondering if they're people, suggests to me that they're not even trying to propagandise us properly anymore because there possibly is some tipping point event on the horizon.
00:19:44.000I hope that that is not true, obviously, because that will literally affect all of us.
00:19:49.000It's affecting all of us anyway, because we're all funding these wars.
00:19:53.000They're having consequences that affect many, many issues, including migration, which I know a lot of you are concerned about.
00:19:58.000And what basis, at this point in history, do any of these former imperialist nations think that they can legitimately go around the world, intervening in other people's conflicts, and in many cases, starting them, all the while we fund them?
