Subliminal Jihad

Pressed by current events, Dimitri and Khalid finally dust off one of their longest-planned SJ episodes: a deep dive into the underexamined spiritual life of Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, former Hawaii Reprsentative/current Army PSYOP officer Tulsi Gabbard. Topics include: Tulsi downplaying her life-long relationship with the Science of Identity Foundation cult in Hawaii led by the charismatic white boomer Chris Butler, her journey from heckin' Berniebro to anti-woke Trump ally, SIF’s adjacency to the Hare Krishnas, Hare Krishna founder A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Tulsi’s political connections with Narendra Modi and the neo-fascist RSS in India, Pierre Omidyar’s quiet support for Modi and the BJP, Soviet allegations in 1983 that the Hare Krishnas were a CIA mind control cult, Butler’s obsessive hatred of gay people and Muslims, rebelling against his Communist-sympathizing doctor father in the 60s, assembling a political front in the 1970s to ban homosexuality in Hawaii, key Butlerites serving as Tulsi’s staffers and advisors, her curious “anti-interventionist” political stances, Indian perceptions of the Hare Krishnas as CIA agents during the Cold War, and more. Part one of two.

Pakistani author Ibrahim Moiz discusses his book on the Taliban, offering rich insights into Afghanistan's history. He dives into the nuances of Taliban narratives and the oversimplifications presented by Western media. Moiz explores the complexities surrounding the U.S. withdrawal and shifting power dynamics post-2021. The conversation sheds light on key figures in Afghanistan's conflict and critiques the long-term implications of foreign interventions. His analysis is a compelling blend of history, politics, and cultural perceptions.

Dimitri and Khalid explore various developments in 1920s British Palestine via the diaries of Jerusalem musician Wasif Jawhariyyeh, Winston Churchill’s “Zionism vs. Bolshevism: A Struggle For The Soul of the Jewish People”, and “The Radiance of the Jewish National Home: Technocapitalism and the Making of Modern Palestine”.

After an extended intermission, Dimitri and Khalid resume THE LAND BELONGS TO WHOM IT BELONGS and embark on a deep examination of the British Mandate in Palestine. We start with a close reading of epic TV showrunner David Simon’s recent anti-Irish, anti-mook screeds about DA MUFTI and other Zionist tropes concerning the Mandate period, followed by some theoretical framing from “A Discourse on Domination in Mandate Palestine: Imperialism, Property and Insurgency” by Zeina Ghandour, the problem of epistemicide, Pete Shambrook’s “Policy of Deceit”, British perfidy and gaslight diplomacy towards Faisal and the Arabs after World War One, sus Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points (attempt to outflank Lenin), clever manipulation of antiquities laws to slander/erase the legacy of Ottoman rule, the Jewish Agency's COINTELPRO/Mockingbird-tier espionage activities, and more.

Dimitri begins his multi-episode examination of the sinister forces, both domestic and foreign, who conspired to dismember and annihilate the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War in the early 1990s - and their largely unknown connections to the brutal civil wars that simultaneously dragged Liberia and Sierra Leone to an anarcho-colonial hell. After some preliminary comments about why Yugoslavia deserves its own sidequest in Demon Forces, Dimitri discusses the first interwar incarnation of Yugoslavia as a (nominally) constitutional monarchy ruled by the bloody Serbian House of Karađorđević; the deep mythic legacy of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo and the geopolitical fault lines of the medieval Balkans…A Tale of Two Croats, Josip Broz Tito and the shadowy Ante Pavelić; the origins of the Ustaše and Croatian Catholic ultranationalism; Mussolini bankrolling Pavelić to further his imperial ambitions towards Dalmatia and Albania; secret terrorist training camps in Italy; the Macedonian terrorist organization IMRO; the 1934 assassination of Yugoslavia’s King Alexander Karađorđević and French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou in Marseilles; the complicity of Mussolini and the Hungarian government in the plot; US government interest in the activities of Pavelić and his financial connections to the Croatian-American community… For access to premium SJ episodes, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, live call-in specials, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, become a subscriber at patreon.com/subliminaljihad.

Dimitri and Khalid are finally back with the eighth installment of SJ’s deep political meta-series CONTRA. We start off by checking in with the Big Boy star of CONTRA VII, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, including: the long march of the Big Boy meme accounts, unpacking the fuzzy allegations that the Pritzkers and Rockefellers have been “funding” pro-Palestine protests, and where the Pritzkers actually stand on Gaza in 2024. We then begin our dive into Alan A. Block’s “All Is Clouded By Desire” and its dracular protagonist, the Palestine-born “businessman” Bruce Rappaport, whose collaborations with the venerable Bank of New York resulted in the greatest heist of the 20th century: the wholesale looting of the Late Soviet economy by Russian gangsters, Western banks, and an intricate web of sus international intelligence assets.
