Darryl Cooper and Scott Horton reflect on the nefarious motives behind the US-backed coups in Venezuela and Iran as they dismantle the neocon agenda while providing highlights from the wild history of American imperialism. They address how far Hezbollah's network of support has grown and why. They also survey the foreign policy blunders that resulted in the very avoidable war in Ukraine, the Biden administration's heavy involvement in it, many missed opportunities for peace deals, and the insane nuclear brinkmanship of many US, NATO, and EU officials. This episode also features some righteous anger directed at the IRS, updates on the Martyr Made podcast, and discussion of the Libertarian Institute's new release, Empire of Lies, by Charles Goyette.

EP:22 - Epstein's Mossad Connection Proven
Darryl and Scott unravel the tangled web of power, intelligence, and criminality that defines the world we live in. They provoke thought with the chilling assertion: "All humans break," leading to a profound exploration of power dynamics through the lens of Jeffrey Epstein's intricate connections with foreign intelligence, particularly his ties to Israeli operatives.
As they dissect investigative insights from journalist Ryan Grimm, Cooper and Horton challenge ingrained narratives about Epstein, revealing how his actions were deeply entwined with geopolitical interests, echoing the legacy of his mentor Robert Maxwell. The discussion navigates the thin line between assertion and rumor, especially concerning the sexual abuses linked to Epstein, and sheds light on the broader political agendas at play.
A pivot to the Syrian conflict introduces figures like Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, suggesting their emergence as unlikely leaders serves larger Western geopolitical purposes, igniting uncomfortable questions about allegiances and the true costs of foreign policies. Meanwhile, Horton critiques the media's role in shaping and challenging narratives, emphasizing the press's moral duty to scrutinize dominant discourses amidst pressing global issues.
Amidst the analysis, a poignant moment arises as Cooper reflects on the personal stories of ordinary lives impacted by political strife, particularly highlighting the plight of a young Palestinian girl. This shift underscores the often-overlooked human cost of global conflicts and the disconnect between policymakers and their consequences.
Through this episode, Cooper and Horton urge listeners to engage critically with political narratives while remaining attuned to the human stories that provide context to the chaos. They conclude with a clarion call for justice and the protection of free speech, reminding us that beneath the complexities of global issues lie the very personal stories that drive our collective quest for truth.
