Transcript for 4/26/24: HOSTAGE NATION WHAT KIND OF AMERICAN ARE YOU? W/ DAVID KNIGHT

Back when I worked at the News center, I would not mind spending some of my prep time watching several news networks to get a feel of what was happening in our reality. 

But when the pandemic happened, I found myself less interested in the nightly news. It started evolving into a negative influence on me and so I backed away from watching it.

It is not that I don't watch it -- I just tend to back away from it because there is really no news to speak of. It is like sports, you have to really be paying attention to it for it to keep your attention.

The bombardment of Trump trials and the mumbling of the current President is just not my idea of a healthy reality.

Commonplace dialog in politics, academia, and news media feels like it’s missing something; leaving out rudimentary areas of investigation that have become taboo for polite society to question. Those aforementioned groups occasionally cite problems as “systemic,” but when it comes to defining what that means exactly or asking what alternatives there might be to the present system there is a collective hush that speaks loudly to tacit boundaries in place.

Instead, the solution-set primarily discussed is limited to what amounts to band-aids for gaping wounds, or symptomatic responses that serve primarily to pander to a particular issue or crowd that often are a bridge too far themselves for the powers that be. The so-called pundits of all flavors tend to stay in the safe intellectual territory usually defined by those who use leverage to become an authority-- these talking heads I am supposed to know, I am supposed to be familiar with them -- and then when I investigate their backgrounds , most are former CIA operatives.

The CIA is not barred from enlisting journalists or volunteers. Both the CIA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have been known to use journalists as cover. Now news networks are not at all immune from hiring former White House press secretaries and former CIA operatives to report approved news from the Pentagon.

This means that the Pentagon will define what is within the acceptable limits of conversation while typically journalists and academics reactively talk along predefined lines.

They mold reality -- and it is all approved by the alphabet agencies and the Deep State. 

What I worry about is how when you demonstrate this game show known as the media -- you get tagged as partisan.

This I can only conclude is a deep psychological operation that can only be part of an even more awesome conspiracy, 

There are people who, when first introduced to my show are curious about how I define reality. When faced with defining it, I become scattered with the idea of what is generally agreed upon-- whether it be history, or what the 6 o'clock news tells us every day. Think of the ultimate power being that reality is molded and shaped by a media that is steered towards covering up criminality and misdeeds of the elite.

The media, and even the government to some degree is somehow being forced into becoming reactionary and activist.

This leaves us to the conclusion that reality, and its distant relative history are now a hell of a lot more weird than any science fiction story.

The media seems to be successful in labeling conspiracy theories as improbable and paranoid. They have been dismissed as antisemitic, anti-science, and anti-social.

Yet many of them turn out to be approximations of the truth --and a good conspiracy theory fills in the holes that the media fails to bury.

We are left with questions. we as creatures of habit have ideas as to why stories are not told or brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

It is not paranoia if they are really out to get you.

A society so brainwashed and manipulated as that of the US, where its media and ideological institutions are virtually walled against popular intrusion, cannot easily establish oppositional movements.

We have become so fragmented that disagreements even occur within rebellions -- and so it is difficult to organize anything without someone feeling as if their beliefs are being ignored.

That is why there seems to be this "crowd for hire" operation, where big money is being used to organize people into groups that for the right amount of money will organize against your community, and your country.

George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.

The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.

Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine — and at some, students have clashed with police.

At all of the colleges, the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights.

USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” in return for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”

They are trained to “rise up, to revolution.”

It looks like the revolution itself is a business and is operating against American values. This itself should be considered a conspiracy against this country.

I believe that it should be prosecuted as a conspiracy against the United States and its allies.

The radical group received at least $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017 and also took in $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.

At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips, and $10 rotisserie chickens.

Imagine being provided shelter, food and payment for protesting and shouting "death to America" and no one sees this as an organized conspiracy against the United States.

I know that perhaps this is not a competition over what is worse -- the Black Lives Matter/ Antifa riots, or this. 

But the media and lawmakers agree that the biggest treachery happened on January 6th. And people are still being rounded up and arrested for praying on the capital grounds.

I am troubled by how this is excused, how this does not constitute a dangerous conspiracy-- and how a business dedicated to bringing down America can be allowed to continue.

Soros has given billions to the Open Society Foundations which his son Alexander — whose partner is Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s top aide and the estranged wife of pervert Anthony Weiner — now controls.

In turn, Open Society has given more than $20 million to the Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit “fiscal sponsor” that then sends the cash to smaller groups.

Soros even brags about being a Traitor, and also brags about his relationship with Nazis when he was younger. Yet he continues to conduct the business of destroying America and he has also convinced the media to conclude that anyone who questions his moves are anti-semitic.

But they are excused as they claim to be aiming for quality and purity. The see their mission as part of the awakening or “wokism” " which is perceived by a substantial majority of US citizens as a formula for destroying the nation, culturally, politically, and economically. 

The facts are known and Soros and other billionaires support that contention. There is basis to doubt that the metastasis induced by the ruling oligarchy was accelerated in 2016 and burst through the skin on 6 January 2021.

The media blamed Donald Trump -- but it is evident that the chaos is bought and paid for and enforced by deep state operatives that look the other way -- as long as they have a puppet that will do what they want and give them carte blanche from the oval office.

Now the media and half of the people are declaring Trump a criminal without due process. The real criminals and traitors go free while the country loves their scapegoat in the former President. 

They love calling him a neo-fascist and there is no real citation that anyone can provide to prove it. It is a reality show based on hate and conformity -- no one wishes to admit that the propaganda is one-sided and if you do -- you are labeled Nationalist or Supremacist -- or a MAGA radical. 

Classic liberals who were once moderate participators are being pigeonholed into being right-wing tools and become persona non grata. 

The attacks on the Trump presidency began worldwide in the oligarchically controlled mass media from the day of his election until long after his term expired. It is safe to say that no President in history has ever been subjected to such sustained vilification.

Even Nixon didn't get this treatment.

It is even more remarkable that even that “evidence” submitted to disparage or condemn him has proven false witness or forgery. Perhaps that is one reason why the documents by which it is so easy to condemn Mr. Trump are not cited.

All I have witnessed is how handing any power to those in government becomes like a drug addiction, and they will stoop to absolutely anything to retain that power.

It is time to face the facts - and understand that the conspiracy is bought and paid for. The accusation that Trump and his minions attempted to overturn an election in a so-called insurrection is nothing compared to the slow and well-financed moves to meddle in an election, criminalize a political opponent, and make it clear that in the end the results of the 2024 election will never be accepted by either side.

That is the obvious outcome -- and we are going to be participating in the biggest swindle ever to be forced upon the American people.

You will not have enough police or prison space to contain the civil unrest. Biden is doing everything possible to simultaneously create World War III as a distraction from the political corruption unfolding before our eyes.

The World Health Organization and The U.N. are already organizing to create a strong arm incursion if need be, requiring a passport, and national I.D. -- that would be the first steps towards a worldwide police state.

The American people remain eager to be persuaded that the 2024 election can solve the problems that plague us.

Yet what is being staged is not an election. It is far worse -- and I have a sneaking suspicion of what is coming --and that is a constitutional crisis that could lead to civil war.

We’re being duped into believing that this mockery of a choice between two candidates who are equally unfit for office actually translates to having some say in how the government is run.

It is obvious now that treachery is financed, and it is s set up for the rich to find their way to a reboot for the fourth industrial revolution.

It is an elaborate scam to keep the Deep State in power and leave the populace deluded, distracted, and incapable of demanding accountability, transparency and decency from the government and its cohorts.

The overall overreporting of the political theater now comes off as a reality show, with scandals, missteps, gaffes, and prostitutes that are willing to spill the beans to TMZ.

What a country-- what a show.

That is Hollywood, that is entertainment.

But it is so vapid, and I am surprised that anyone can find passion cheering on the flim-flam.

It is a heavily scripted, tightly choreographed, star-studded, ratings-driven, mass-marketed, costly exercise in how to sell a product—in this case, a presidential candidate—to dazzled consumers who will choose image over substance almost every time.

Unlike European party systems, the US party is an apparatus for promoting personalities and creating celebrities for elected office. That is partly because the permanent government, the deep state needs distractions to operate discretely.

We can all see that since the Obama razzle-dazzle, elections appear to be manufactured, contrived, coinfected, and devoid of any intrinsic value save the value of being advertised. 

It is the end result of a culture that is moving away from substance toward sensationalism in an era of mass media.

It is all about debates, and town hall meetings brought to you by Pfizer. It is all about selling cars and life insurance.

We’re being sold a carefully crafted product by a monied elite who are masters in the art of making the public believe that they need exactly what is being sold to them, they are now selling the Marxist anti-American Stalinist republic with the most charismatic politician who is capable of sharpening his smile every tie he gives the green light for weapons that can be used to kill people in wars that we are told are for the sake of our freedom.

For some reason -- and I do not know why we apparently see politics as entertainment. bought and paid for, dominated by money and profit, imagery and spin, hype and personality and guaranteed to ensure that nothing in the way of real truth reaches the populace.

There is a conspiracy going on --and they hope you don't figure it out because it takes away, the scam... It is like watching a World Wrestling drama-- we know it isn't real, we just are sold on the drams and scandal and the eventual takedown of an enemy, 

The Democrats have been trying to bar Trump from running with the 14th Amendment . That has not worked, so they have Soros-backed Democrats prosecuting Trump in four forums, trying to bleed him dry financially while simultaneously keeping him off the campaign trail with outrageous court orders. Even this is not enough. They have utterly destroyed everything the Constitution was meant to prevent.

How is this not being seen as a threat to National Security? Exploiting the foundational leadership of being unstable to our enemies. So much so that the U.N. and China are paying attention.

As Democrats rack their brains to come up with new and more creative ways to destroy Trump and retain power, Alex Soros, the son of George Soros showed the way implying that Trump should be assassinated. 

We now have Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), ​​a ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, who has turned his attention to Soros’s suggestion. Soros is not just funding prosecutors to overturn the United States; he now suggests an assassination of a former President.

Thompson is trying to set the stage for that assassination by removing Trump’s personal safety. 

Thompson introduced a bill designed to strip convicted felons of Secret Service protection. Here is the issue. A felon can run for President – that is not a bar to holding office. 

In case you’re wondering just how many convicted felons are currently receiving Secret Service protection, the answer is zero. But all that could change if Trump, who is facing 88 felony charges, is convicted on at least one.

This is how you kill a political enemy.. This is how it is done and the people don't have time to see a conspiracy. This is not a theory, it is a game plan.

People are really implying that Trump should take a bullet! 

The media would cheer if Trump was assassinated.

Democratic Rep. Jason Crow said on CNN :

“Donald Trump is a very violent and dangerous man,” Crow said, speaking on CNN this afternoon. “He is unstable. He is not well … he is a danger to … the domestic security of our nation and the security of individual Americans.” 

Statements like these are inciting violence on the opposite end of the political spectrum.

Are we dangerously cascading into a banana republic where heads of state are just assassinated to win elections?

Representative Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat and former prosecutor who worked on Trump’s first impeachment inquiry in the House, has been a particularly outrageous Democrat who has vehemently hated Trump, claiming he is a threat to Democracy. But that is minor. He said this during an appearance on MSNBC‘s Inside With Jen Psaki.

“It is just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit. He is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated.”

Robert F Kennedy Jr has been the only contender for the high office of POTUS to accurately apply the term fascist in the context of the US political system. His description conforms to Mussolini’s definition, where the interests of corporations merge with the State. 

By this classical definition of fascism, Donald Trump hardly qualifies.

At this point, he will be reduced to a rallying symbol -- a player that represents what could have been -- and that is only if he survives the trials and persecution.

Trump will be declared an outlaw like all those who have been rotting in federal dungeons since 6 January 2021. 

This will certainly define us as a country that has framed itself as a Hostage Nation.

I don't think that is anything to be proud of.

I can't tell you who will win the 2024 election.

But I can tell you that there won't be any winners in 2028.
