Let's do a thread doing a close reading of Douglas Murray's article in the NY Post, in which he writes about his encounter with Dave Smith on Joe Rogan's podcast.
If you care about facts and truth and stuff, I promise this will be highly illuminating. 🧵
"Having not spoken to Joe since the wars in Ukraine and Israel started, I had become increasingly irked that the guests he has had on have been almost entirely anti-Ukraine and anti-Israel."
As many have demonstrated, this is false.
Since late 2023, at the very least these guests with strong pro-israel views have appeared at least once on the podcast.

So, the Ukranian constitution gives the president the power to declare martial law, and explicitly says that parliamentary elections can be delayed until after martial law is lifted. For presidential elections it says they must happen every 5 years with no martial law exception.
Whitney Webb's failure to admit error, (and how to survive the 2025+ infowars without getting blackpilled)
I had a run-in with Whitney Webb this week. This THREAD will try to walk you through the story in excruciating detail.
This will take a while, but I think it's worth it.
It all started when @BretWeinstein thanked @POTUS for withdrawing from the WHO. Bret had fought long and hard against the WHO pandemic treaty that was being pushed, so whoever had followed him knows how important this is.
@BretWeinstein @POTUS Whitney Webb felt the need to point out that "Trump also left the WHO in mid-2020 and then just redirected what was once WHO funding to the Gates-funded GAVI vaccine alliance."
Your favorite blackpill dealer, Whitney Webb, here with more trash data and vague insinuations.
In this episode, she claims Trump "redirected" WHO funding to GAVI. In reality, she is asserting that unrelated funding from USAID to GAVI was made because of the withdrawal from WHO in 2020.
The USAID funding to GAVI was part of a long-term funding stream that USAID had been providing to GAVI since 2001.
Some people are saying that maybe the 1.4B in 2016-2020 was concentrated in 2020. Not true. A billion was pledged for the period of 2015-2018. Then 1.16 billion was pledged for the period between 2020-2023. Taking inflation into account, that is effectively the same amount, for the same duration of time.
In trying to keep up with the vast pace of developments across many fronts, I have started to hypothesize something. Perhaps it is oversimplified. Perhaps it is just wrong. I am open to all eventualities, I'm sharing this to get feedback.
When Mike Johnson did his complete turnaround, I started to wonder what he could possibly have been told that changed his view so drastically. It is tempting to think it was some personal threat to his reputation or family. But that is a low-context explanation that could apply to anything, and as such is not very informative, imo.
What if, what he was told, is that what is going on is pretty much the opening moves for WW3? See the map below and think about what was recently approved with the help of Mike Johnson:
- Warrantless wiretapping
- TikTok forced sale or banning
- Funding for Ukraine
- Funding for Israel
- Funding for Taiwan
- No funding for strenghtening the border (and actually perhaps some funding to get *more* people into the US)
Basically, infowar funding for the internals of the empire, and actual war funding to support the borderlands (Taiwan, Israel, Ukraine) against the rising BRICS powers. And an entry to the US of cheap workforce that will be needed to set up a new industrial base. At best we end up with a new Cold War. If we're lucky.
Maybe I'm giving people in power more credit than they're worth. Perhaps I refuse to believe they're simply arrogant and incompetent. But for better or worse, I can't stop thinking about this map, and what it means for the world.
I may have classified some countries wrong, by the way, I'm open to suggestions on specifics. In particular, It's likely that Hungary and Serbia should be at the very least a kind of greyzone. Also, US influence in south Asia probably goes further than I marked. And of course Africa is a competition zone, with Russia and China making inroads and France/EU losing ground, but nothing yet completely settled.
Anyway, hopefully this is interesting to others as it was to me. (runs away and hides in bunker)
Was about to mention that the poles are about to become a zone of intense competition between the blocks.
