Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (retired) joins us once again to give his unvarnished view of the now yearlong ethnic cleansing of Gaza, an assault that has now extended into Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.
Thank you Colonel Wilkerson for saying that you wouldn't call Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations. I don't know who gave them this "title", I assume it was the US so it is, from the start, invalidated. If they are terrorist organizations, then we need to call the IDF and the American mercenaries, the contractors and a lot of our military (don't they train with the IDF?) terrorists too. We are the ones bombing several countries year in and year out, the Israeli government openly brags about the genocide they are committing, so the US and Israel are terrorist states.
To Ralph: my congressmen is a former military guy who replies to every comment or question about the genocide with: Israel has the right to defend itself. Rather, the intern who answers the phone does. It is like talking to a robot, no matter the question the answer is the same. I wonder if he isn't one of the military people who trained with the IDF. Never met him, obviously he doesn't meet with constituents. Had a last minute notice of a "breakfast with the congressman" that I couldn't attend. He seems pretty bullish to me. Goes on TV to brag about getting generators and food to hurricane victims, when he could simply find his humanity again and make sure that assistance is guaranteed. Imagine how many lost everything so that Israel can massacre people in Gaza.
the majority of the US simply does not support progressive policies and rule of law not because the majority in the US is insufficiently informed or educated, but because the majority is fascist.
Oh, darn, I was getting used to calling Antony Mister Zyklon Blinken. And, well, Bibi is really Adolph. And Joe? Come on, that Zionist is half Jewish -- Joe "I Got Jew Grandkiddos and a Jew Doctor Son-in-law" Biden is on track with Kamala Emoff, though she uses Harris to beat the Obama drum, who is now admonishing black men for not supporting Kamala Emoff in droves.
I’ve sent emails to my senators and representative, again. I encourage everyone to do the same. I got back word salads. I did it for the Palestinians. I know it’s pointless. I did it because i don’t know what else to do.
Col. Wilkerson is correct that the big money military industrial complex politicians that are not influenced by citizens or citizen groups need to be replaced.
Ralph is wrong that these politicians are at their most vulnerable in the next few weeks leading up to the election. These politicians will not show up for any town halls.
The only place these politicians are vulnerable is when citizens are in the voting booth.
Instead of citizens using their votes in 2024 to tell these politicians that it is okay to take big money and kill people by voting for them citizens can register a vote for peace by casting a write in vote to register a vote against politicians that take big money and kill people and to create and demonstrate demand for politicians in the next election that will work for peace because they are not taking big money.
The Congress ended the Vietnam war by taking away the money.
We can end the Endless War Congress by taking away the votes that validate the politicians that take big money and kill people.
It would be nice if we could start NOW before we suffer through the blow back or another civil war.
There is still time to take this first step in 2024 so we can replace the big money politicians that kill people in 2026 and 2028.
Thank you for all the work you do and the information you bring to your listeners. Where can I find more information about how is the Rafa crossing controlled, , why doesn’t Egypt send aid into Gaza, and what happens to the money donated to charities if the goods are being prevented from getting in?
About Egypt not doing the obvious, I guess - not sure - that it is part of the American Imperialism at work, shady agreements that offer arms in exchange for humanity. Egypt could open the borders. It simply refuses too.
On Point and a Powerful Message here. Thank You,Mr.Nader for sharing your brilliance with us today.I will reStack and Blessings to All who are affected by War.
That was great. But I couldn't find the Turkish video Wilkerson referenced which asks, from the future, "where were you?" when Israel was committing this genocide. AND I couldn't find the military's template for predicting deaths from a bombing campaign. Please ask Lawrence and future guests how to find things they reference.
Thanks for featuring the plain spoken Col. Wilkerson. Isn’t the Pentagon plan since 911 to create Bantustans in the rubble of any resistance to the western colonial project? Haiti, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan for example. Biden’s sticking with the plan that Harris is committed to because they sell one million deaths by the end of this year as collateral damage to diminishing resistance to exploitable events.
Now that the Orangutan has been reelected, is Larry going to move out of the country, as he said he would on this program a couple of years ago? Hmmm....
Good interview as many of us are worried about what atrocities Israel will commit next. Keep up the pressure on our Congress members with phone calls and with the White House where I have a good sense they do listen.
As a proud supporter of Ralph Nader and the Ralph Nader Radio hour and his guests on this show, I'm very sad to write my total discust how wrong they are. This war could end tomorrow by Hamas. Step 1 release all the hostages and all the combatents that comit rape and killing babies.
Thank you Ralph and your Lebanese parents for raising an exemplary American who serves humanity endlessly.

Bibi Biden & Bibi Blinken; "Genocides "Я" Us"
That was great. But I couldn't find the Turkish video Wilkerson referenced which asks, from the future, "where were you?" when Israel was committing this genocide. AND I couldn't find the military's template for predicting deaths from a bombing campaign. Please ask Lawrence and future guests how to find things they reference.
Just blows my mind people are still saying the death toll in Gaza is a mere 40,000. Unbelievable.

So Indiana Senator Mike Braun said the USA was wrong to legalize interracial marriage.....
You don't want to rush these things!

The Israeli government is finally dropping the facade that the
genocide in Gaza is about ‘returning the hostages.’ Haaretz reports
“According to senior defense officials, the Israeli government is not
seeking to revive hostage talks and the political leadership is pushing
for the gradual annexation of large parts of the Gaza Strip.” Not only
that, apparently “Israel's political leaders have not held any
discussions with the various security branches about the condition of
the hostages.” In other words, Israel clearly does not care about the
hostages at all and are simply using them as political props to prolong
their campaign of terror. In addition, the AP reports “Netanyahu is
examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza,” and if
Palestinians are unable or unwilling to leave their homes, they “would
be considered combatants — meaning military regulations would allow
troops to kill them.” Last weekend, Israel launched an offensive against
the Jabaliya refugee camp, resulting in gruesome footage of Palestinians
burnt alive while still connected to IV tubes in field hospital tents.
