Shortly after 9/11, a general told me about the decision to go to war with Iraq, even without evidence linking Saddam to Al Qaeda. The rationale seemed to be that military force was the go-to solution. Weeks later, I learned of a plan to "take out seven countries in five years," starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. I worked with every Israeli prime minister from Yitzhak Shamir forward. It would have been fantastic to own the Twin Towers. After 9/11, I was very lucky that Governor Spitzer helped me collect $4.5 billion in insurance money. There was a decision to pull the building and watch it collapse. Post 9/11, Iraq, Iran, and Libya were racing to develop nuclear weapons. Action was needed, and the first regime was the Taliban. The next step? Military action should happen first against Iraq.

There were many involved in nine eleven—the Pentagon, the executive branch, and the CIA—with prior knowledge and investments. And then there was Israel. The dancing Israelis, who posed for pictures in front of the burning towers, told the FBI that Israel now has hope that the world will understand us. Over a 100 Israelis were arrested after 9/11; they were trained in military intelligence and explosives, posing as art students with fake IDs, infiltrating government buildings. The US response was to destabilize the Middle East and to start viewing the American people as domestic terrorists. This is known as a false flag. Netanyahu has made it clear he supports Hamas, and the evidence shows that they are also a creation of the intelligence agencies. Having helped to build up Hamas, Netanyahu has now vowed to destroy it.

There's been a lot of talk today about another war with Iran. I think it's, very likely because, Netanyahu, is absolutely intent, and he has been intent for nearly thirty years. It's been part of Netanyahu's policy to pull The United States into repeated wars. Clean Break is a very strange but very clear statement of what has trapped The United States for nearly thirty years. Clean Break says, well, Israel's never going to compromise with its Palestinian Arab population in its midst and in the Palestinian lands. and it's going to control or expel or kill or ethnically cleanse the Palestinian population. what he meant was The United States will go to war for us. He was the big cheerleader of the Iraq war. The United States has funded, armed, and diplomatically supported all of this.

According to the transcript, a Pentagon officer revealed a memo detailing a plan to "attack and destroy the governments in 7 countries in 5 years," starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. This plan was allegedly conceived by a group including Wolfowitz, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, linked to the Project for a New American Century. A document written a year before 9/11 acknowledged that transforming America into tomorrow's dominant force would be a long process, "absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor." Some senators and others have described 9/11 as a "second Pearl Harbor" or "the country's Pearl Harbor." The Project for a New American Century urged the US to abandon the anti-ballistic missile treaty, establish more permanent US military bases abroad, pursue regime change as a goal of foreign wars, and act as a global constabulary unburdened by the UN. The speaker believes the US should be a strong force for peace, justice, and global cooperation.

In 1977, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, former heads of Zionist terrorist groups, formed a coalition and rose to power in Israel, initiating the plan for 9/11. Begin, known as the father of terrorism, led the Irgun, which bombed the King David Hotel and was involved in the Deir Yassin massacre. In 1979, Benjamin Netanyahu started the Netanyahu Institute, promoting the fight against terrorism. Iser Harel, former Mossad chief, predicted in 1979 that Arabs would attack the tallest building in New York City. Netanyahu promoted the "war on terrorism" and predicted the World Trade Center's destruction. Some claim 9/11 was a false flag operation to incite war, with some alleging Mossad involvement. The "dancing Israelis" were seen celebrating as the first plane hit the North Tower. One said their purpose was to "document the event," implying prior knowledge. Explosives were reportedly found in a truck near the George Washington Bridge. Some claim the Israelis were Mossad agents and that Urban Moving Systems was a front. Federal law enforcement reportedly dismantled a large Israeli spy ring in the US in September 2001. Michael Chertoff, head of the Justice Department's criminal division, allegedly enabled the repatriation of Israeli spies. Some claim the White House ordered the 9/11 investigation to be shut down to protect Israel. Netanyahu, as Deputy Foreign Minister in 1990, claimed Iraq had a rapidly developing nuclear program. An Israeli think tank allegedly conceived the 2003 Iraq war in 1996. A general claimed that the decision to go to war with Iraq was made around September 20, 2001, and that a memo described plans to "take out seven countries in five years."

According to the speaker, regime change in Syria is part of Netanyahu's 30-year war to remake the Middle East, a disaster that continues. Referencing Wesley Clark, the speaker claims the neocons and Israelis planned seven wars in five years to remake the Middle East, listing Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan as targets. The speaker alleges this plan originated with Netanyahu's "Clean Break" strategy in 1996, aiming for a "greater Israel" by dismantling governments supporting Palestinians. They claim the U.S., on behalf of Israel, has engaged in six of these wars, with Iran potentially being the seventh. The speaker states that Obama initiated the Syrian war in 2011, with Hillary Clinton declaring "Assad must go." They cite an IMF report praising Syria's economic growth before the conflict, arguing it posed no threat to the U.S. The speaker claims Netanyahu views any support for Palestinians as a threat to his vision of "greater Israel," encompassing annexed territories and potentially land from the Nile to the Euphrates, achieved through war rather than diplomacy. Obama's Operation Timber Sycamore allegedly involved the CIA working with Turkey and Saudi Arabia to overthrow Assad.

Speaker argues that 9/11 and the war on terror are Israeli-driven. "The war on terror is an Israeli stratagem, a ploy pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu since 1979 to trick The United States into waging war against Israel's enemies." He says the operation involved "15 of the 19 Arabs lived here" with "multiple identities," and cites Wesley Clark’s claim: "seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran." He asserts "Israel created the Islamic foe" and that "terrorism is theater." He notes "ICTS" controlled security at US airports on 9/11 and mentions "five dancing Israelis." He references the Yenon plan: "the Yenon plan, named after Oded Yenon" to Balkanize the Middle East, and implicates the Rothschilds and Rupert Murdoch in shaping the narrative. He calls the 9/11 Commission report a "myth" and cites "destruction of the evidence."

The speaker claims that recent events in Syria are the culmination of a 30-year effort by Israel, led by Netanyahu, to reshape the Middle East. This effort, detailed in a 1996 document called "Clean Break," aims for a "greater Israel" by dismantling governments that support Palestinians. The speaker references a plan for "seven wars in five years" presented to General Wesley Clark after 9/11, listing Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan as targets. The speaker asserts that the U.S., influenced by the "Israel lobby," has been carrying out this plan, with Obama initiating the Syrian war in 2011 via Operation Timber Sycamore. The speaker says Netanyahu views any support for Palestinian groups as a threat to Israel's control over Palestine, motivating the need to destroy opposing governments. Greater Israel encompasses the annexation of the West Bank, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem. The speaker alleges that the U.S. has funded and armed Israel, leading to geopolitical isolation and endless war in the Middle East. The speaker says the U.S. blocked a Syrian peace agreement in 2012 because it demanded Assad's immediate removal. The speaker concludes that the New York Times and mainstream media avoid historical context to give a "free hand" to the security state. The speaker fears the next target is Iran, potentially leading to World War III, and urges President Trump to change course.

Johnny introduces a discussion on Fight Club’s alleged nine-eleven predictive programming. Johnn y asserts Fight Club, produced by Arnon Milchan, an admitted Israeli spy, was released in 1999, two years before the attack; Milchan also produced The Medusa Touch in 1978, 23 years before the attack. He claims Milchan wasn’t alone; in 1980, journalist Mike Evans dined with Issa Harrell, former head of Mossad, who allegedly said terror would come to America and that the first attack would be New York City’s tallest building, noting the World Trade Center sphere as a barrier that stood between the city’s tallest structures. The discussion escalates into a broader conspiracy: Operation Lockheed Thunder, the destruction of a World Trade Center sphere, and the notion that Mossad foreknew 9/11 and celebrated it rather than stopping it. The narrative cites a witness who observed five Israeli men taking photographs of the burning towers from a New Jersey van; the FBI investigated three questions about these men and any advanced knowledge, and the men claimed they were documenting the event for Urban Moving Systems. They even appeared on an Israeli talk show to discuss their actions. The program discusses Mossad’s alleged pre-9/11 warnings to the United States about a coming attack in North America, hijackings, and aircraft used as flying bombs, with claims that 4,000 Israeli or Jewish people in the New York City area were warned not to go to work. It covers media coverage of an Israeli instant messaging service, Otago, used to warn Israelis about an attack, and purported ties between Otago, Converse, and an Israeli intelligence officer. The narrative asserts that 4,000 Israeli citizens worked in the World Trade Center and Pentagon, with only five deaths, at least one of whom was a Mossad agent. It alleges that Zim, an Israeli shipping company partially owned by the Israeli government, moved out of the World Trade Center a week before 9/11, citing the president’s remarks about warnings. It asserts that two Israeli billionaires, Larry Silverstein and Frank Lowy, purchased the World Trade Center lease seven weeks before 9/11 and collected $4.5 billion in insurance after the attacks, alleging difficulties with insurance payouts that were eventually resolved after political intervention; Silverstein allegedly redesigned the World Trade Center in 2000 while the buildings were still standing. The text links Milchan and Bibi Netanyahu to foreknowledge of 9/11, with Netanyahu having worked for Milchan at Helai Trading Company, allegedly smuggling US nuclear technology to Israel. It mentions Richard Kelly Smythe’s FBI-declassified documents naming Netanyahu as Milchan’s contact. It presents Netanyahu’s statements that the attack benefited Israel, and contrasts this with Barak’s remarks on television about a global concerted effort against terror and the post-9/11 momentum for war with Iraq, Iran, and Libya. The transcript connects Rupert Murdoch, Milchan’s associate, to The Lone Gunman pilot episode (2000) depicting a passenger plane hijacked remotely and aimed at the World Trade Center, aired six months before 9/11. It notes four war-game simulations on the morning of 9/11, including airline counterterrorism scenarios, and suggests room for confusion or deliberate misdirection; it states two hijackers had Mossad connections, including Ziyad Jarrah’s cousin Ali Al Jarrah and four Mossad agents living near Muhammad Atta. Additional figures are named: Rabbi Dob Zakhan, SPC software for remote aircraft control, and Rebuilding America’s Defenses author; Daniel Lewin, an Israeli Special Forces member and Akamai founder, who allegedly had foreknowledge and was aboard United Airlines Flight 11. The dialogue ends with a depiction of the hijacking, detailing attempts to override flight controls, flying toward New York City and the World Trade Center, as the team attempts to hack the aircraft’s navigation and autopilot systems.

After 9/11, many questions arose. Earlier that year, Ariel Sharon became Prime Minister of Israel, and around the same time, numerous individuals identifying as Israeli art students were apprehended across the U.S. The CIA rounded up around 200 of these individuals, who were found photographing federal buildings. Some Israelis were caught in New Jersey, photographing and celebrating the towers coming down. Others were found with explosives and later identified as Mossad agents. After 9/11, the U.S. declared war on various Arab Muslim countries. This occurred after the arrest of numerous Mossad agents and the appointment of Ariel Sharon, the author of an old plan, as Prime Minister. Simultaneously, the authors of the clean break report gained control of the Pentagon under George W. Bush. Together, the U.S. and Israel launched a global war against Muslim countries.

Speaker 0 presents a rapid-fire accumulation of allegations about Zionist Jewish supremacists allegedly infecting global affairs. The core themes include a claimed cancerous, lasting influence beginning in the 1800s and modernized by Theodore Herzl in 1897, with asserted connections to current events in Argentina and beyond. Key points and claims outlined: - Argentina: Zionist influence is described as expanding, with Israeli tourists allegedly starting wildfires and a “treasonous Zionist rat bastard” president of Argentina, who is said to collude with Israelis to turn Argentina into “another little Israel” and to burn land for land acquisition. The claim is that Zionists have long eyed Argentina since inception, with early Zionist leaders like Herzl considering Argentina due to fertile land and open immigration, and Jewish agricultural colonies already established there in the late 1800s. There is asserted “mass influx of Israelis, including IOF soldiers,” moving to Argentina as a Jewish homeland, with Israel destroying Argentina “before our eyes.” - Historical trajectory: The Havara transfer agreement is cited as Zionists collaborating with the Nazi government to enable German Jews to immigrate to Palestine in 1933, with about 60,000 German Jews moving to Palestine between 1933 and 1939. Israel’s creation in 1948 is stated, followed by the formation of the PLO in 1964. Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967 is linked to the formation of Hat Ma’as in 1987. Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1978 is tied to Hezbollah’s formation in 1982. - U.S. political angle: JFK’s purported order for the American Zionist Council (APAC) to register as an agent of a foreign government in 1962, and JFK’s assassination in 1963, are listed as connected events. - Africa and Congo: Israel allegedly built up Rwandan forces from 1963–1973, supplied weapons to the Hutu regime through 1994, with the 1994 Rwandan Genocide described as a consequence. A 1997 claim states Israel sent Dan Gribler to Congo to establish diamond mining and oil deals, and that Israel provided weapons to Congo militias, contributing to the First Congo War. - U.S. conflicts and leadership: Netanyahu is described as authoring a 1995 book predicting a World Trade Center bombing by Islamic militants; nine/eleven is claimed to have occurred with Mossad celebrated in 2001. Netanyahu is also said to have pressured the U.S. to attack Iraq in 2002 over non-existent WMDs, resulting in the 2003 invasion and over a million civilian deaths. A pattern is asserted of Israel pushing the U.S. to invade other countries, including Venezuela, with ongoing Middle East wars since 1948 and continuing into the present. - Iran and Gaza: Claims of unprovoked Israeli bombings of Iran and Mossad operations to demonize Islam are asserted, along with the destruction of mosques and attempts to install a Zionist-friendly public government in Iran with U.S. support. - Gaza and Palestine: Israel’s “livestream holocaust” in Gaza, “ethnically cleansing” Palestinians, and land theft across Palestine for a “greater Israel” are described as ongoing for decades. - Pedophilia and crime allegations: Israel is accused of hosting extensive human trafficking networks, including sex trafficking and organ trafficking involving Palestinians, and being linked to high-profile figures like Bernie Madoff as an example of Jewish supremacist criminality. - Global influence and control: Israel is described as a haven for pedophiles, rapists, and embezzlers, with claims that Israeli influence pervades governments, news networks, social media, entertainment, banks, real estate, and tax dollars; Israelis’ sports fans are labeled terrorists who sing about rape. - Call to action: The speaker condemns silence and advocates uniting against a common enemy, proposing to force them out of power by voting or other means, asserting a numerical advantage over those labeled as “the chosen ones.” Overall, the content weaves conspiracy theories about Zionist control of global events, historical provocations attributed to Israeli actors, and a dangerous, inflammatory call to action.

The Israeli government commissioned a memo outlining a foreign policy strategy targeting Iraq, Syria, and Iran. This memo was created ten years prior and influenced key figures in the Bush administration. Following 9/11, prominent neoconservatives pressured President Bush to support military action against Iraq, Hezbollah, and Syria, threatening to label him an ally of terrorists if he did not comply. This push for war seemed disconnected from the actual perpetrators of the attacks, who were linked to Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. The rationale behind targeting these countries appeared to align with the pre-existing strategy laid out in the memo, suggesting a deliberate agenda rather than a reaction to immediate threats.

According to the transcript, a plan existed within the Pentagon to "attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years," starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. This plan was allegedly driven by a group including Wolfowitz, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, associated with the Project for a New American Century. A document from this project, written before 9/11, suggested that a "catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor" would be needed to transform America into a dominant force. Some felt that 9/11 served as that "new Pearl Harbor." The project advocated for abandoning the anti-ballistic missile treaty, establishing more US military bases abroad, and regime change as a goal of foreign wars, with the US acting as a global constabulary.

Dave Smith | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #555

Guests: Dave Smith

reSee.it Podcast Summary

Theo Von opens with notes about a second Nashville show on May 3, 4:00 p.m. at Bridgestone Arena, thanking fans and listing tickets for East Lansing, Victoria, College Station, Gig ’Em Belt, Oxford, Tuscaloosa, Winnipeg, and Calgary, with tickets at theo.com. The guest is comedian, podcaster, and social commentator Dave Smith, known for Part of the Problem and Legion of Skanks. They discuss a wide range of topics, including the Israel and Palestine conflict; the conversation was recorded Monday, January 13, which is why there was no ceasefire discussion. The dialogue covers politics, media, censorship, war, and philosophy through a libertarian lens. Smith describes libertarianism as the belief in self ownership, non aggression, and private property, with government whose sole role is to protect liberty. He explains that liberty includes free speech, gun rights, and property rights, and that any government activity beyond protection is tyrannical because it takes from someone to give to someone else. They explore how this view translates into views on markets, peace, and intervention. A major portion of the talk turns to TikTok, its potential ban, and why platforms matter for information flow. They discuss TikTok as a source of news for young people, the shift away from traditional outlets, and the fear that a ban would suppress alternative viewpoints, especially material critical of Israeli actions in Gaza. They reference the Anti-Defamation League and its stance on Israel, and mention Osama bin Laden’s open letter to America and the grievances cited there, including presence of US military bases in Muslim lands, US support for Israel, and exploitation of regional resources. Smith notes the claim that Bin Laden listed the occupation of sacred lands and economic grievances as motivators, while also describing the complexity of the historical context and the reaction from various audiences to reading his words. The episode delves into censorship and power, including Zuckerberg’s Rogan interview and the claim that the FBI advised Facebook about a looming Russian information dump during the 2020 election. They contrast Facebook’s approach with Twitter’s, and critique the narrative of censorship as a new phenomenon, arguing that government pressure to shape speech has long existed, yet corporate and platform power now amplifies it. They discuss the Hunter Biden laptop episode, the role of third party fact checking, and the difference between a blanket ban and a signal reduction rather than a full removal. Beyond foreign policy, the conversation touches U.S. domestic policy and history. They discuss neoconservatives’ influence, Project for a New American Century, and the 1996 “A Clean Break” memo advocating regime change in the Middle East to advance Israel’s strategic aims. They recount Wesley Clark’s testimony about the plan to take out seven countries in five years, beginning with Iraq, and reflect on how the events unfolded after 9/11. They examine the moral costs of war, veterans’ experiences, and the sense that Americans were sold a false narrative about the purposes of intervention. On economics, they critique the Federal Reserve, the gold standard, and Bretton Woods, describing how fiat money and monetary policy enable endless borrowing and inflation. They explain how the Fed’s structure concentrates profits in banks and the government can pursue expansive policy by printing money, with consequences for ordinary people. They discuss healthcare markets, pricing transparency, and libertarian proposals to reduce regulatory friction and increase real competition. The chat also covers culture and media, the rise of podcasts, the evolution of standup, and Dave’s upcoming schedule, including Skankfest in New Orleans, a stop in Bozeman, Montana, and other dates at comicdavesmith.com. They close with reflections on truth, accountability, and the value of speaking honestly while recognizing uncertainty, emphasizing the importance of listening to diverse perspectives and maintaining a commitment to liberty. If you want more, follow Dave Smith at comicdavesmith.com for tour dates and updates, and catch his continued work on Part of the Problem and other projects. The conversation demonstrates a willingness to grapple with difficult issues in a forum that prizes openness and the exploration of ideas.
