Vivek Ramaswamy has claimed that January 6th is an inside job, and that the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. Capitol were actually the work of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO), a group run by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ( ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). In this episode, Russell Brand and Dana Bash argue that this is a case of entrapment, and argue that the FBI may have been involved in a cover-up of the events that took place on that day, and may have even been responsible for the deaths of some of the thousands of people who were arrested that day in response to the protests that erupted in the streets of Washington, D.C. on the day of the protest against the government's decision to shut down all access to the protest on Capitol Hill, and the subsequent indictments and indictments that were brought against those responsible for those responsible, as well as those who were released to the public by the DOJ, ICE, DEA, DOJ, DOJ and other agencies involved in the cover-ups and the DOJ's decision-making process, including the use of torture, surveillance, surveillance and surveillance techniques, to cover up the truth about what really happened that day and the possible involvement of the government in the attack on the Capitol in the first place. What does that mean, and how could this be possible entrapments? and how did the FBI get involved in this cover up this kind of thing? What role did the government agents play in 9/cover-up, and why they were involved in it, and what was done so thoroughly? . And what role did they have to do so much so to ensure that the truth was kept hidden from the public and the American public ? and why was it so thoroughly covered up? And how did they did it?

00:00:00.000Hello there you Awakening Wonders on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you download your podcasts.
00:00:05.000We really appreciate you, our listeners, and want to bring you more content.
00:00:08.000We will be delivering a podcast every day, seven days a week, every single day.
00:00:13.000You'll get a detailed breakdown of current topics that the mainstream media should be covering, but if they are covering, they're amplifying establishment messages and not telling you the truth.
00:01:46.000In fact Chris Morris' film recently covered that very subject that people are encouraged
00:01:50.000to set up terrorist organisations then arrested for having terrorist organisations.
00:01:55.000That kind of deep mistrust of the state which is now regarded as a kind of an alt-right
00:01:59.000perspective is a 1960s leftist perspective actually or at least it was for a brief while.
00:02:04.000So let's have a look at some of Vivek Ramaswamy's rhetoric and then let's look at the FBI and their history for establishing apparently criminal dynamics then making arrests.
00:02:13.000And let's look at the nature of these organisations and their relationship with the public at large.
00:02:19.000Why am I the only person on the stage at least who can say that January 6th now does look like it was an inside job?
00:02:25.000That the government lied to us for 20 years about Saudi Arabia's involvement in 9-11.
00:02:31.000I would say looking at the facts of the video footage that have come out, Dana, it is shocking that you still haven't gotten a clear answer of how many federal agents were in the field that day.
00:02:39.000Look at now the video footage of actually throwing explosives and rubber bullets into what was a peaceful crowd, then releasing to the public what came in response to that.
00:02:48.000But now look at the video footage that was released, and I'm glad we're talking about it because viewers deserve to look at that footage.
00:02:54.000Capitol Police literally letting people in, who were then now prosecuted, some of whom have gone on to commit suicide because of what the government's doing.
00:03:03.000And I think the government has not been transparent about this, which is why I then brought up another case where the government, now 20 years later, with declassified documents, tells us that they lied to us at the time.
00:03:13.000So I do think we have a government that's consistently lied to its people.
00:03:17.000An inside job suggests that everybody who attacked the Capitol was part of some...
00:03:23.000I didn't say that, but I was saying that there is entrapment going on.
00:03:26.000So interesting attempt to reframe the meaning of an inside job.
00:03:30.000That means that the whole thing was entirely created, a complete construction.
00:03:34.000As Vivek points out, that's not what he said, perhaps, but that the events wouldn't have unfolded in the way they did had it not been for the presence of state agents potentially provoking and exacerbating the conditions.
00:03:46.000And increasingly, that seems likely, even perhaps evident.
00:03:50.000There's entrapment going on and this looks like a case of entrapment and if you look at even over the last day... What do you mean by entrapment?
00:03:55.000Entrapment means that the police go to people to do something otherwise that they otherwise wouldn't have done and then they arrest them for actually doing it.
00:04:01.000So do the FBI frequently create conditions and situations or have they historically created conditions and situations that they then intervene in and claim that is the resolution of a case?
00:04:13.000And if that proves to be true does that reveal to us Details about how the state functions, creating conditions and situations that are advantageous.
00:04:25.000Could every single conspiracy in American history somehow have tendrils in a deep state agency exploiting events to create opportunities to legitimize further authority or to amplify power?
00:04:53.000It shouldn't be true that the Federal Bureau of Investigation contains criminals, or at least people that conduct criminal But we spoke to those FBI whistleblowers a little while ago.
00:05:03.000they recounted how the investigations into January 6th and the investigation prior to
00:05:07.000January 6th had left them with a lot of questions about partisan behaviours and even criminal
00:05:14.000Whether the FBI's plan in undercover agents in churches, synagogues and mosques, issuing
00:05:18.000fake emergency letters to gain access to Americans' phone records, using intimidation tactics
00:05:24.000to silence Americans who are critical of government, or persuading impressionable individuals to
00:05:28.000plot acts of terror and then entrapping them, the overall impression of the nation's secret
00:05:33.000police is that of a well-dressed thug flexing its muscles doing the boss's dirty work.
00:05:38.000The FBI, I suppose, are like many institutions now.
00:05:42.000Your impression of them might alter depending on where you stand in the cultural space.
00:05:47.000It's extraordinary for me to see the media championing the CIA or the FBI.
00:05:52.000Being cynical about claims of malfeasance from either of those agencies is an indication of where establishment power now is.
00:06:00.000When we talk about conservatism, that word generally means a kind of Christian conservatism, a moral conservatism, even social conservatism.
00:06:06.000I've always thought of it as the desire to conserve, restrain and control power.
00:06:11.000And I feel that what's being conserved now is neoliberal democracy.
00:06:18.000It's the type of democracy where you're not offered genuine alternatives, where your vote and opinion are ultimately irrelevant, and apparently where the deep state manipulate conditions in order to legitimise power and regulation.
00:06:30.000And that's exactly what we're talking about in this story.
00:06:33.000Clearly, this is not a government agency that appears to understand, let alone respect, the limits of the Constitution.
00:06:39.000Indeed, this same government agency has a pattern and practice of entrapment that involves targeting vulnerable individuals, feeding them with the propaganda know-how and weapons intended to turn them into terrorists, and then arresting them as part of an elaborately orchestrated counter-terrorism sting.
00:06:55.000We can't bring you this content that changes the world, changes our consciousness, and helps us to continue to awake without Sticker Mule!
00:07:46.000In order to justify their crime-fighting superpowers, the FBI manufactures criminals by targeting vulnerable individuals and feeding them anti-government propaganda.
00:07:55.000Then undercover agents and informants equip the targeted individuals with the training
00:07:59.000and resources to challenge what they've been indoctrinated into believing is government
00:08:10.000This is what passes for the government's perverse idea of being tough on crime.
00:08:14.000So beyond investigating actual crime objectively separately occurring, they are involved through
00:08:20.000counter-terrorism measures and counter-criminal measures in instigating crimes.
00:08:25.000There are a few famous examples of where that's happened.
00:08:27.000But for a moment, hold in your mind the idea that deep state agencies that were definitely present, concealed within the crowd on January the 6th, have on previous occasions caused, to a significant degree, to the degree where the people that had been imprisoned were acquitted, the crimes that they claim to be resolving.
00:08:43.000And then, bearing in mind that what we're generally reporting on is elitist establishment globalist tendencies, look for a moment what's happening in Ireland. That just by being suspected
00:08:53.000of being in possession of hate speech, and hate in this context is not clearly
00:08:56.000defined, that the police will be able to go into your house and arrest you if they suspect you of
00:09:01.000having hateful material on your phone or your devices. What it seems is being created
00:09:06.000is the potential for amorphous laws to be applied in various territories and for deep
00:09:11.000state and law enforcement agencies to arrest you for vague and obtuse crimes. So whether you're
00:09:17.000looking at January the 6th in the presence of deep state agencies, the many historic
00:09:21.000examples of the FBI being involved in the arrest of terrorists that they had in fact
00:09:27.000Or this tendency around the world to criminalise forms of speech, to refer to speech as being weaponised, it shows how what's being created, or at least I believe what's being augured, is a kind of global police state where increasingly we can be arrested for crimes that we maybe didn't commit or would not have committed had it not been for the intervention of law enforcement agencies, which seems extraordinary.
00:09:50.000For example, undercover FBI agents pretending to be associated with ISIS have been accused of seeking out online and befriending a 16-year-old with brain development issues, persuading him to secretly send them small cash donations in the form of gift cards, and then the moment Matteo Ventura turned 18, arresting him for providing financial support to an Islamic terrorist group.
00:10:11.000If convicted, the teenager could spend up to 10 years in prison.
00:10:15.000That seems like exploitation designed to meet charters for the number of arrests required in order to legitimise a budget.
00:10:25.000And one of the things we've seen in this country, the UK, is deep state apparatus designed for counter-terrorism turned onto the domestic population.
00:10:34.000In fact, it was Matt Taibbi who explained that many counter-terrorist and counter-insurgent agencies, organisations and funding was turned to counter-Covid control.
00:10:45.000This has happened in the last three years and is part of a broader trend not to criminalise an entire population, but to criminalise a significant portion of the population so that authoritarianism is legitimised.
00:10:55.000Yet, as The Intercept explains, the only terrorist he is accused of ever being in contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him online as a 16-year-old.
00:11:05.000This law enforcement tactic has been criticized by national security researchers who have scrutinized the FBI's role in manufacturing terrorism cases using vulnerable people who would have been unable to commit crimes without prolonged government assistance and encouragement.
00:11:19.000The Ventura case may indicate that authorities are still open to conjuring terrorists where none existed.
00:11:24.000I think we all respect a degree of ingenuity and clandestine manoeuvring and operations.
00:11:30.000But when a crime would not have occurred without the intervention of deep state agents, then that almost by definition means that there is no crime because it wouldn't have happened without their engagement and involvement.
00:11:42.000In another incident, the FBI used an undercover agent informant to seek out and groom an impressionable young man, cultivating his friendship, gaining his sympathy, stoking his outrage over injustices perpetrated by the US government, then enlisting his help to blow up the Herald Square subway station.
00:11:59.000Despite the fact that Shaharwar Matin Siraj ultimately refused to plant a bomb at the train station, he was arrested for conspiring to do so at the urging of his FBI informant and used to bolster the government's track record in foiling terrorist plots.
00:12:14.000In a way we're living in an artificial reality where the perception of FBI success is so important that they are willing to engage in creating a kind of performance of terrorism.
00:12:25.000Now, this information I imagine is accessible because the dynamic they're describing is no longer the pertinent and defining dynamic of our news cycle.
00:12:33.000Ten years ago, Islamist terror was an absolute priority in the American news cycle and the American psyche more broadly.
00:12:40.000Now American culture has altered to the point where the extremes are both domestic, that there's a kind of neoliberal establishment extreme, I'm using their language, and the kind of MAGA extremism.
00:12:52.000Now, at least in terms of news and public conversation, people don't talk about, oh there's terrorists, people talk about the migration crisis down there at the southern border, and people talk about extremists needing to be debugged.
00:13:03.000With no more enemies to fight abroad, except for the numerous economic wars being currently engaged in, the ire has turned on the domestic population.
00:13:11.000Terrorists are now simply people you disagree with, and in order to legitimise the measures and funding, it seems the FBI have frequently engaged in creating incidents that otherwise wouldn't have occurred, just to perpetuate a cycle.
00:13:25.000Of course no mention was made of the part the government played in fabricating the plot, recruiting a would-be bomber and setting him up to take the fall.
00:13:32.000That's a crime that simply wouldn't have happened without FBI engagement.
00:13:35.000They didn't solve that crime, they caused it and then stopped it.
00:13:38.000It's like setting fire to your house, putting it out and then sort of wanting a medal.
00:13:42.000Which is almost like a Joe Biden anecdote.
00:13:44.000I almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette and my cat.
00:13:49.000These are Machiavellian tactics with far-reaching consequences for every segment of the population, no matter what one's political leanings.
00:13:56.000But it's especially dangerous for anyone whose views could in any way be characterised as anti-government.
00:14:01.000As Rosina Ali writes for the New York Times Magazine, That's an interesting trend that I've noticed elsewhere.
00:14:09.000by blurring the lines between speech and action, and by broadening the scope of who is classified as a
00:14:15.000That's an interesting trend that I've noticed elsewhere.
00:14:17.000The blurring of lines between speech and action, hate speech and free speech,
00:14:22.000of demanding new categories of criminalisation where laws already protect you.
00:14:27.000Like it's already illegal to incite violence, it's already illegal to participate in riots,
00:14:32.000and yet there are new laws being introduced as if to mitigate threats that really aren't there.
00:14:37.000I suppose if your interest is increasing authority, you have to increase the necessity for that authority by claiming that there are threats that only that authority can counter.
00:14:48.000For instance, it was reported that the FBI had been secretly carrying out an entrapment scheme in which they used a front company, ANOM, to sell purportedly hack-proof phones to organise crime syndicates and then use those phones to spy on them as they planned illegal drug shipments, plotted robberies and put out contracts for killings using those booby-trapped phones.
00:15:08.000All told, the FBI intercepted 27 million messages over the course of 18 months.
00:15:13.000What this means is that the FBI was also illegally spying on individuals using those encrypted phones who may not have been involved in any criminal activity whatsoever.
00:15:23.000So the FBI was spying on innocent people, just as a matter of course, but we also know that data is compiled and exchanged across the world between Five Eyes countries, bypassing legislation that prevents that.
00:15:34.000simply to prevent some crime that you may commit in the future.
00:15:38.000Or God forbid, the law or perception might alter in the future
00:15:41.000and suddenly the necessary data is already available for your condemnation and maybe even conviction.
00:15:46.000Even reading a newspaper article is now enough to get you flagged for surveillance by the FBI.
00:15:51.000The agency served a subpoena on USA Today's Gannett to provide the internet addresses and mobile phone
00:15:56.000information for everyone who read a news story online on a particular
00:16:00.000day and time about the deadly shooting of FBI agents.
00:16:03.000Whenever I learn stuff like this, I think, oh my God, if this is what we know, imagine what we don't know.
00:16:07.000Imagine the kind of stories that might just be placed in media in order to sort of act as a kind of honey trap.
00:16:12.000So, "Ha ha, look at the people that read all of that stuff, oh, look at the people that are following that."
00:16:15.000I mean, one doesn't want to yield to paranoia and craziness.
00:16:18.000But when you know that what is normalised as institutional practice within the FBI
00:16:23.000sounds like criminality and sounds beyond normal practice, then it kind of fosters the possibility
00:16:30.000that other nefarious activity may be taking place.
00:16:32.000It's like when you hear that the Democrat Party invest in candidates that they wouldn't want to win because it biases the opinions of ordinary Republicans on the Republican Party as a whole or the Pied Piper strategy as it's known and commonly understood.
00:16:45.000That, for me, suggests that there's a kind of a lack of fair play.
00:16:47.000The FBI should be investigating crimes.
00:16:50.000And maybe having some undercover agents here or there.
00:16:53.000But when it gets to the point that they're creating criminality in order to solve those crimes, what you have is, that's actually just corruption, isn't it?
00:19:12.000Once in a while you step back and look at what's happening because we've been so embroiled in it and it's become so normalised and it's so difficult to qualify information.
00:19:21.000I realise I participate in this world to a degree and people have accused me of being a conspiracy theorist and reactionary but the simple truth is that agencies that are trusted with health behave in ways that are odd, receiving royalties, repressing
00:19:34.000Agencies that are in charge of crime commit criminal acts.
00:20:20.000Some days it feels like the FBI is running its own crime syndicate complete with mob rule and mafia-style justice.
00:20:26.000This should start getting with the FBI and CIA, shouldn't it?
00:20:28.000I'm sure there are good things that a Central Intelligence Agency or a Federal Bureau of Investigation could be doing, but at the moment, that's not what's happening.
00:20:35.000So those kind of politicians, indeed, we began with the vague, somewhat incendiary in their rhetoric, and certainly populist in their approach, that say stuff, and I think it's Bobby Kennedy that said, I'd scrap the CIA.
00:20:45.000You know, like, that's the kind of thing that appeals, because I think all of us deep down sense This isn't working anymore, is it?
00:20:51.000There are things within democracies that are sort of wonderful,
00:21:04.000Where you land between libertarianism and anarcho-syndicalism and socialism and capitalism,
00:21:11.000there's probably merits within all of these ideas.
00:21:13.000But we're living in one of these new things, like kakistocracy now,
00:21:16.000and no one's mentioning it, because they know that no one would vote for it.
00:21:19.000In addition to creating certain crimes in order to solve them,
00:21:22.000the FBI also gives certain informants permission to break the law,
00:21:25.000including everything from buying and selling illegal drugs to bribing government officials and plotting robberies
00:21:30.000in exchange for their cooperation on other fronts.
00:21:32.000This is common practice, we all know about that from movies and stuff, and that in itself is already a massive line crossed.
00:21:38.000USA Today estimates that agents have authorized criminals to engage in as many as 15 crimes a day, 5,600 crimes a year.
00:21:45.000Some of these informants are getting paid astronomical sums.
00:21:48.000One particularly unsavory fellow, later arrested for attempting to run over a police officer, was actually paid $85,000 for his help laying the trap for an entrapment scheme.
00:21:56.000I was running over that police officer's part in one of my schemes.
00:22:17.000In a stunning development reported by the Washington Post, a probe into misconduct by an FBI agent resulted in the release of at least a dozen convicted drug dealers from prison.
00:22:26.000In addition to procedural misconduct, trespassing, enabling criminal activity, and damaging private property, the FBI's laundry list of crimes against the American people includes surveillance, disinformation, blackmail, entrapment, intimidation tactics, and harassment.
00:22:40.000At that point, you've actually crossed the line now.
00:22:43.000There is this kind of understood affinity between criminal classes and law enforcement.
00:22:48.000They've both got code words and clandestine rules and a particular nomenclature and a mentality of, like, keeping quiet about stuff, code to silence, surreptitious violence.
00:22:59.000But when it's actual list of surveillance, disinformation, blackmail, entrapment, intimidation, now we're in the godfather of, like, I think I prefer the Corleone family.
00:23:08.000The FBI has been particularly criticised in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks for targeting vulnerable individuals and not only luring them into fake terror plots, but actually equipping them with the organisation, money, weapons and motivation to carry out the plot's entrapment, and then jailing them for their so-called terrorist plotting.
00:23:24.000This is what the FBI characterises as forward-leaning, preventative prosecutions.
00:23:29.000We led so far forward, we led into people that weren't even criminals but just were children, arrested them, and put them in jail for things they might have done one day.
00:23:37.000We leaned over so far forward, we crashed their heads onto the concrete of absolute corruption.
00:23:42.000That was so far leading, I think I deserve a gold watch.
00:23:44.000We're not giving you any gold watches for that!
00:23:46.000Well, I'll give myself one then, from that safety deposit box.
00:24:02.000Suffice to say that when and if a true history of the FBI is ever written, it will not only track the rise of the American police state, but it will also chart the decline of freedom in America.
00:24:11.000How a nation that once abided by the rule of law, and held the government accountable for its actions, has steadily devolved into a police state where justice is one-sided, a corporate elite runs the show, representative government is a mockery, police are extensions of the military, surveillance is rampant, privacy is extinct, and the law is little more than a tool for the government to browbeat the people into compliance.
00:24:29.000There's a point where it becomes, I think, trans-political, i.e.
00:24:34.000wherever you are on the political spectrum, you would be able to agree that that's gone out of control.
00:24:39.000And if you're turning a blind eye to it because temporarily the FBI are sort of anti-Trump or they're anti-Black Lives Matter or wherever you fall on that scale, this is where you have to sort of recognise, hold on, that's This is how tyranny rises and freedom falls.
00:24:52.000with everybody eventually, we need a massive reckoning and probably an agency that's gotten
00:24:57.000that out of control. I think probably needs to, if not be radically re-evaluated, I'd say disbanded,
00:25:02.000wouldn't you? This is how tyranny rises and freedom falls.
00:25:05.000The powers that be are not acting in our best interests. Almost every tyranny being...
00:25:09.000You just probably have different crises that you nominated as the crises that they'd utilised depending on your political persuasion.
00:25:14.000secure has come about as a result of some threat manufactured in one way or
00:25:17.000another by our own government. Again we're now totally in a territory that we
00:25:21.000can all agree on. You just probably have different crises that you nominated as
00:25:26.000the crisis that they'd utilised depending on your political persuasion.
00:25:29.000What value does any anti-Trump rhetoric have when this is true? Like, he's a dictator!
00:25:35.000He'll turn the country into the sort of dictatorship where a corporate elite runs the show, representative governments are mockery, police are extensions of the military, surveillance is rampant, privacy is extinct, and the law is little more than a tool for the government to browbeat people into compliance.
00:25:53.000Cyber warfare, terrorism, biochemical attacks, the nuclear arms race, surveillance, the drug wars, domestic extremism, the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:26:05.000A significant part of manoeuvring deep state activity to respond to these apparent crises that are amplified by the media that benefit corporate elites.
00:26:15.000And this lot are like sort of behind the scenes doing some shady stuff and then awarding themselves boxes of jewellery and gold watches every couple of months to celebrate.
00:26:24.000In almost every instance, the US government, often spearheaded by the FBI, has, in its typical Machiavellian fashion, sown the seeds of terror domestically and internationally in order to expand its own totalitarian powers.
00:26:34.000Consider that this very same government has taken every bit of technology sold to us as being in our best interests, GPS devices, surveillance, non-lethal weapons, etc., and used it against us to track, control, and trap us.
00:26:49.000The US government isn't protecting us from threats to our freedoms.
00:26:52.000The US government is creating the threats to our freedoms.
00:26:54.000It is the source of the threats to our freedoms.
00:26:57.000And as that becomes increasingly exacerbated, just your ability to think freely and speak freely and communicate freely and move freely are increasingly being manoeuvred, I think, into criminal acts.
00:27:09.000I think that what we've heard described here in this article, where vulnerable individuals and marginal individuals that are mentally ill or from a currently maligned or previously maligned cultural group, these are piloting cases which will become normal and standard for any kind of dissent.
00:27:24.000The only way to be free in this culture is to do exactly as you're told.
