Episode 50 – Operation Protea begins and Xangongo and Peu Peu targeted but FAPLA’s 19th Brigade awaits

The speaker delivers a passionate critique of current U.S. politics, asserting that the government is effectively under the control of a Russian asset, likely referring to Donald Trump and his circle. They frame the era as a renewed fight between democracy and fascism, urging citizens to be brave and defiant, with grassroots organizing and independent media as key strategies for victory. The discussion highlights two main issues: first, the case of LSU basketball player Kate Koval, whose coach brought in a Russian player despite Koval’s father fighting in Ukraine’s army; the speaker deems this despicable and argues that neutrality in such crises is complicity. Second, the speaker condemns Hakeem Jeffries for privately meeting with Jared Kushner, whom they label the shadow secretary of state responsible for disastrous foreign policies, including an unwinnable war in Iran that depletes resources needed for Ukraine. They accuse Jeffries of following a tired, corporate-friendly Pelosi playbook, prioritizing power over saving lives, and failing to pursue accountability for past coup attempts, such as the January 6 insurrection. The speaker emphasizes that without prosecuting figures like Jared and Ivanka Kushner, democracy remains fragile. They call for a massive "blue wave" to overcome voter suppression and demand fresh leadership, arguing that Jeffries is dangerous and out of touch. Ultimately, they stress that courage, defiance, and collective action are necessary to protect democracy and achieve meaningful change, urging listeners to organize rather than merely watch.

The United States government is effectively under occupation right now by a Russian asset. So what are we going to do, the American people? What are you going to do over in Europe? America's fallen. We're fighting World War III again, right? It's the same dynamic of World War II, where it's democracy versus fascism. So what do we do now? And I'm telling you, from somebody who has studied authoritarianism and resistance to authoritarianism, we have absolutely no choice but to be brave now because our courage is the best revenge. Our defiance is how we win. And grassroots power, independent media like Ken Show, Olga's platforms, independent media is also how we win. So all of you folks here watching this, paying attention, refusing to look away, that is how we win. Welcome to this week's "Skasslet Nation" bonus show. That opening clip that you just heard was Ken Harba from the Midas Touch Network and our discussion last week, Ken is now in Ukraine during this week of Independence Day celebrations for Ukraine. And it's a genus-cidal war in protecting itself against maniac terrorist regime Russia that for many years pumped money into the Nipo baby corrupt trust fund pedophile Donald Trump. Anyway, so yeah, those are the stakes that we all face today. And that is why "Skasslet Nation" gives a huge shout out to the extremely brave Kate Koval, a college player in basketball at LSU. We are not a sports show. I am basically going to be winging it and talking about this, but I'll link to the show notes. A "Skasslet Nation" listener in Texas, Jeremy, you know who you are. Thank you, Jeremy. Hit me off to this story that is now going viral where an LSU player was wasn't given much notice. She had transferred to LSU to play basketball. She is a star in women's college basketball. And her deeply insensitive and immoral coach, a woman by the name of Kim, that says Kim Kalki, brought in a professional player from the Russian Women's Basketball Association. And you might think what is the big deal? Professionals have to learn to play with each other in the field or whatever. But you know, Kim's dad, Kim Koval's dad, is a soldier in Ukraine's army. And since Trump has been back in power, Ukraine is not getting the defensive systems that it needs to close its guys and so more and more Ukrainian soldiers are being slaughtered and more civilians are being killed. And not only that, this Russian player just came from Russia where she was playing professionally. This is not a Russian that was like, I am getting out of this country by any means necessary or speaking out against the war or anything like that. And she's not taking any stand, any risk and what we need today, all of us, no matter where we come from, who we are, what we look like is to take risk. We have to stand up and speak out and beyond the right side of history because if we all just keep our heads down and try to make a living and try to make money and pretend that none of this is happening, then nothing is going to change and we are therefore complicit. So people in the comments trying to say, what's the big deal? It's just college basketball. Imagine saying that in any other genocidal crisis. Imagine saying that during the time of Jim Crow, Martin Luther King, Jr., imagine saying that during the time of the Vietnam War, imagine saying that during the time of the Holocaust, imagine that saying that today when it comes to Netanyahu killing children in Gaza and on the list goes, can't be neutral on a moving train as the great historian Howard Zinn told us and it is absolutely true. And so what the LSU coach did was was despicable and she waited until there was a window of time when her player Kim Koval could have transferred easily. She waited to corner her and force her into playing with this Russian player and her whole motivation for doing it was she's trying to build a winning team. How can you build a winning team when your star player is deeply uncomfortable playing with a Russian player? That's not a winning team. So thank you to Jeremy and Texas for flagging this story for me and I will link to it in the show notes and I'll also link to my conversation that you heard the clip of at the start of the show. Now we're going to play an excerpt of this week's "Gaslet Nation" salon where I was asked by a listener what I thought of the story of Jared Kushner meeting with Hakeem Jeffries who could be the next democratic speaker of the house if all goes well. If we get a big blue wave, a big rage wave that overcomes the Jim Crow 2.0 which I think we will even though Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to stop us. And so what did I think of this story? So what you're about to hear is my response and I will link to the story, the reporting on Kushner and Hakeem Jeffries meeting privately. We don't know the full details yet. They haven't come out of what that meeting was all about but you can read some of the reporting again in the show notes and here is my response and it produced quite a discussion at this Monday salon if you want to hear that full discussion as well as some ideas for alternatives to be the speaker of the house for the Democrats who are lucky we have a really strong back bench just like the New York Knicks and now here are my thoughts on Kushner and Jeffries meeting and the bigger picture of what we need to be doing in order to demand accountability and protect our democracy because without accountability the Trumps will just be coming back into power, fans, the mag guys will just be coming back into power. Accountability is how we rebuild and protect our democracy. Hakeem Jeffries Mr. APAC money is the worst possible person for this moment as we all can see with our eyes and ears. Number one, Pelosi as we all saw their eyes and ears she dragged her feet on the very first impeachment. She did not want to impeach him. We were gaslight nation was an open social media war with Christine Pelosi on Twitter saying like you need to impeach and the Pelosi's were convinced that impeachment would just hurt their numbers and their chances of taking back the house even though he's the most impeachable president. So they're making these political calculations and Pelosi's also, and I'll tell you why I'm talking about Pelosi in a second, Pelosi is also the number one rainmaker in Congress. The reason why she's the queen of Congress was because she brought in the most money. What kind of money did she bring in? Well, Pelosi and Ivanka were both awarded an award by the Silicon Valley Internet lobbyist group, the same award ceremony and you see them Ivanka and Pelosi during Trump's first Trump side by side with their awards, like that's pigs at the same trough. Pelosi hand picked and trained Hakeem Jeffries. Hakeem Jeffries is taking us down the same path as Pelosi, which is you just, you just be calculating and do whatever you can to please the corporate overlords and do power sharing with your colleagues on the side across the aisle and so on. And it's a very tired playbook that's outdated, especially in today's environment where the political divide in our country is not Republican Democrat. It's not the political spectrum. The political divide in our country is the people, all of us versus the 1%, which is growing so unchecked in their power in wealth that they are openly plotting to break up this country into little smaller fiefdoms that they can rule. This is all real and it's happening. And even Gavin Newsom is allowing it to happen in Sonoma, California. We just did that interview with Guilder Ann and all about this. And so Hakeem Jeffries is going to just put us on that path in normalization. Jared Kushner is the shadow secretary of state. He runs foreign policy for the Trump administration. He is childhood friends with Netanyahu, meaning when Jared was a kid, Netanyahu would literally sleep in his bedroom and Jared would sleep in the basement. The Kushners and Netanyahu are extremely close intimate family friends. Jared Kushner gave Netanyahu his war in Iran, which has depleted our military, which is depleted as you're seeing. You cannot win this war and we're providing cover for the entire region. So we're depleting Patriot defense systems, which should be going to Ukraine. Ukrainian casualties are increasing because the weapons and offensive systems, the Patriot systems that we'd normally be giving to Ukraine, Trump is depleting them and Jared Kushner is worn around. It's totally unwinnable. The only possible way of winning this war is to do a massive deployment on boots on the ground, like massive deployment. And even then it's not a guarantee, obviously, as we've seen in Vietnam. But that's the only real shot you have at this and there's no way in hell you're going to get that when you're treating your sailors with starvation and suicide, right? And so this is all Jared Kushner's war. It's not, Trump is just the guy that's trying to make money as best he can and he's obsessed with his ballroom projects and his mistress, Natalie Harb. But it's Jared Kushner's war. He's the real power. He and Ivanka, they're back in the White House. Cisco Rubio is the candidate. They're going to run in the 2020 elections because they see that he's their puppet because Marco Rubio is just the figurehead of the foreign policy. He's just the yes man. It is insane the amount of cuts that Jared Kushner and Ivanka allowed to go on against our foreign policy under Elon Musk, but they allowed that to happen because the power We're sharing that this coalition has built, right? So Elon Musk did a massive slash and burn of USAID, which is American soft power around the world. Massive cuts at the state department. I just spoke to one person just this weekend who said that the department that combats human trafficking again transnational pedophile rings like Epstein's network. Not that it was that effective to begin with because I let Epstein operate in full sight as a whole missile of Russia operation but that whole human trafficking department and the state department is gutted now down to one person just to figure head because it's required by Congress to have that department even if it's but the department no longer exists. It's just a figure head just to satisfy a law by Congress, right? So I'm pointing all that out to just remind to lift the hood of the foreign policy that Jared Kushner is currently running for the United States government and Hakeem Jeffries went to him to basically said let us in let us come in we promise we're not going to we're going to we're going to do show show we're going to do like we're going to do fake things again just like you know just like we did the first go around when the Democrats held every branch of government following January 6 2021 when Trump led a violent attempted coup Jared and Ivanka were there watching watching from the side of the stage and they were not prosecuted there were laws on the books that the Democrats could have enforced that were put there for for crises like this during the reconstruction period following the civil war where traders are prosecuted in ban from holding office running for office the Democrats memory hold those laws and instead ran these viral clips which were compelling and they elevated people like Liz Cheney but it was all what we called at the time accurately accountability theater gas that nation was accused of demoralizing people and being traders and being being you know anti anti vote you know just being a jim's day profits essentially when we accurately pointed out that everything the Democrats were doing were just for show because no one was actually no one none of the coupotters were prosecuted and we said for years the big litmus test whether we have a function democracy or not is that Jared and Ivanka are prosecuted that has never happened they've always been seen as untouchable and their reputations have been laundered by the mainstream media by CNN by guys like Jake Tapper and so on and the reason why that has gone on for so long is that Jared and Ivanka are treated as the normal ones they're not bombastic they're not unpredictable they're not vindictive like the old man right if you get on Trump's bad side he might publish your phone number on his social media account right Jared Ivanka also come from Manhattan where they were for a very long time and still are royalty where their friends with so many people across Manhattan society including the super rich trust fund kid who runs the who's the NYPD conditioner Tish I forget her first name but but she's she's on good terms with mom Donnie but she's the voice of the NYPD and she comes from extremely extremely powerful New York City family the Tish's who had a family member who was wrapped up with Epstein and she's good friends with Ivanka so so Jared and Ivanka are seen as touchable whereas other members of that family and administration are seen as untouchable and and their scene is also reliable sources and power centers for for the access journalists and guys like Hakeem Jeffries who are hungry for power for power's sake not to save lives and to do anything about the emergencies that were in so just like during the first go round again when Democrats held every branch of government and just just carried on with with the atrix instead of meaningful prosecution of the law they had Merrick Garland in there wasting two years of our time and as we pointed out at the time Merrick Garland his mentor Jamie Graylick was Jared and Ivanka's own lawyer so imagine that what a complicate of interest that was and I promise you that Merrick Garland could have done more people that want to defend him don't understand that that there is political power there are laws on the books and if we can only enforce what's there that would have that would have been enough to stop Trump from coming back and so a lot of this is is people trading favors in order to advance their own careers it's really that craving and that's who Hakeem Jeffries is and the fact that this reporting came out I don't see how this man is going to lead us into anything good even if if Dems miraculously do take the house and guess what given all the enfranchisement the disenfranchisement that our Republicans are carrying out because remember they steal elections in advance through their Jim Crow 2.0 all of that that they're doing now it's going to require and all the gutting of the Voting Rights Act that John Roberts has been salivating over ever since he was in Reagan's DOJ all of that is requiring us now during this time of feeling emotionally beaten down and you know nipping at each other because we're all so tired and people are sort of turning on each other and focusing on the wrong things and but but for us to even get back the house is going to require a massive big blue wave that's what the numbers are showing overcome Republican during mandering and so Hakeem Jeffries getting a buddy buddy with Jared Kushner who is the engineer of this disaster Serranian war that is literally endangering the lives of our men and women in the military and danger in the lives of Ukrainians who need those weapons instead of them being depleted in an unwinnable war and driving up inflation and the gas prices and hurting Americans all across the country on top of it coizing up with that Jared Kushner how demoralizing is that going to be for voters today when we need a big blue wave so Hakeem Jeffries is dangerous he's going to bring in this craving politics as usual Pelosi playbook which is so out of touch I can't even begin to tell you as you already know as listeners of the show and so we really need a fresh new wave of energy and belief in ourselves in our country and our shared livable future and Hakeem Jeffries is not it and we deserve better than him
