Hostage Crisis

The hostages are us.

When I was eleven years old, I remember quite vividly the split-screen of Reagan’s Inauguration and the freeing of the hostages that were being held by Iran. Even as a child, it did not sit right. As a nation, we counted day-by-day on TV while the hostages were captive. Why did these two things happen at exactly the same time?

I’ve had the honor of interviewing best-selling author Craig Unger a number of times on my podcast, Radicalized: Truth Survives. A month before the election he released a book about the 1980 election, and how it was stolen, through treason. The hostages were intentionally held by the Ayatollah until after the election, in order to ensure Reagan would be elected.

This was a sophisticated operation by Reagan’s campaign manager, and future CIA Director, Knight of Malta William Casey, and many co-conspirators. It was a treasonous act to seize the power of the US Government and it’s a national tragedy that it took 44 years for someone to get to the bottom of it.

Yesterday, on the same day Biden gave his farewell speech, it was announced that there was a deal for the hostages being held by Hamas to be released and a ceasefire of hostilities.

But wait… Not so fast—

Suddenly there is a hold up. Benjamin Netanyahu says that Hamas is holding up the deal. Hamas denies it. This delay will certainly cause the hostage release to be after Trump’s inauguration. What do you think the chances are that Bibi did this at Trump’s request, so Trump could take credit — and have his Reagan split-screen moment?

As a reminder, Netanyahu knew 10/7 would happen. Putin was on both sides of the conflict. Putin and Bibi shared a goal, as did Putin with Iran and its proxy Hamas.

You will recall that during the presidential election, it seemed the Middle East was on fire. Israel launched a brutal attack on Hezbollah by remote explosion of pagers in September. This escalated to exchanges with Iran itself. During the election, it seemed it could explode at any time.

As I wrote three weeks after 10/7, the “black swan” we are experiencing right now — a complete takeover of the United States by a rogue conglomerate of plutocrats, dictators, cult leaders, conmen and grifters — could be seen coming from a mile away. They were going to take it — one way or the other.

The real hostage crisis is the 350 million people in the United States being held captive by a tiny group of psychopaths who want to play god with the world. The hostages are us.

Yesterday, Joe Biden gave a farewell speech which called out, for the first time, five days before he leaves office, the “oligarchy,” “social media,” “dark money,” “disinformation,” and “the tech-industrial complex” — an allusion to Eisenhower’s farewell speech that referred to the “military-industrial complex.”

Better late than never, I guess.

The hard truth is we’re getting psychologically herded into a world that only benefits a few. Fascists, oligarchs and autocrats are using war and war crimes to manipulate our minds. This is nothing new, it’s just that the tools are far more powerful.

Do not let them herd you. We have enough sheep on the planet.
