The sound is terrible, it is difficult to pay attention when the audio verges on unintelligible. Additionally, this interview was terribly pedestrian, not nearly the intellectual level that I expect from Zeteo.

Nazis and Controlling the Masses

The Nazis have control of voting technology(https://bit.ly/43ZBNkO) to rig all future elections and they have beaucoup bucks with the uberwealthy getting even wealthier big tax backs with the Congressional ugly bill

But the Nazi party does not control WE the People This is all about French Revolution 2.0 WE the People should demand that there will be a shoring up of voting election procedures through the courts and then show up for the 2026 midterms armed with our vote to toss the Nazis out of power

WE the People need to demand more information about the 2024 election Nazi subversion and shut down the Nazi propaganda about the 2020 election lies Organized people will defeat organized money It has shown up in the Protest and Resistance movements, it has shown up in Wisconsin when Musk threw a bunch of money in the state Supreme Court race unsuccessful, it has shown up in the NY primary race where New Yorkers voted against big money and for Zohran Mamdani The Nazis should be concerned about WE the People

It's incredible. The mainstream media wants to debate whether or not the attack was a "success." A debate on the morality of attacking a sovereign nation that was not a threat to the U.S.--again--is not even a matter of discussion.

There is no morality or scant humanity either in the societies doing the slaughter or in their robotic press sycophants with a few exceptions. American media is increasingly trash as is the NYT and WP, LA times et al! The alternative press and international press was where I used to go. But now the European press repeats the same American lies whether in Italian, French, German, Portuguese. During the Iraq war I could read articles from all over the world. Now, google controls what I have access to. So I use Brave but you have to work hard to get different perspectives or direct knowledge of the countries impacted.

Is there a transcript available? The sound quality is too uncomfortable to listen too.

Mehdi states that US history teachers begin their history of Iran with 1979. Not me. But the modern history of Iran is so fantastical that in my high school class, I would do a quick review by showing the short introduction to Ben Affleck's movie, Argo. A student after watching the clip: "So this stuff really happened!" --- Nothing like a Hollywood cartoon clip to authenticate peer-reviewed historical sources! ( --- This may petty to some, but language matters. Mehdi-- You're a feminist. Please refer to adult females as "women"-- not "ladies.")

Language is key here. Is Israel the US’ proxy or vice versa?! What are the Iranian proxies? You bought into the misinformation. The vast majority of W Americans, immigrants and descendants of immigrants originally from GB have never been occupied but have wreaked mayhem across the world. What you deem “proxies” are people fighting against conquering, dispossession, murder and genocide in their countries based on financial gain and wealth exploitation by a relatively few in empires. Remember the serfs, indentured servants and slaves in the 19th century? Well, an updated version is happening before our eyes. If you want to educate yourself-do!!!!

Thanks, Sb. And to Mehdi, too, for forcing us to think of the humanity and unimaginable courage of those fighting against dispossession, murder and genocide. My brother and I, long ago, dodged bombs during The Blitz in London. But what we suffered, cheerfully, in our ignorance, can’t be compared to what is happening in Palestine now. No cheer now, except from the occupiers posting their achievements on Facebook..

I am sorry you felt offended or castigated and took time to justify yourself by writing to me personally. It has nothing personal to do with you but the fact remains that in this perilous time, words matter. It is insufferable for me as a Latina and twice immigrant, a student of history, trained in international law to see the unraveling of what we used to call a civilized society.

Having the perspective of having grown up outside the US and now choosing to live outside it because it is for me a sick society; I found looking at things with such shock and questioned everything and everyone, including and mostly myself.

I am also at the point in life that I am unbothered by what others think of me or perceive me to be. Confidence and self knowledge allows our authenticity. My point was the use of words like “proxies” that in my mind unconsciously buy into the racist, imperialist paradigm propagated extensively in the political US arena - a place of myopic understanding of the rest of the world.

Finally, as words matter and considering the great offense you took to my response making it personal-you reminded me of the importance of always understanding your audience and use of my words. Yet, I don’t control your thought process or reactions. But we are free to express ourselves and disagree without veering to the personal with rapprochement.

Be well.
