People love to say Ireland is Palestine and Palestine is Ireland.It sounds poetic — until you look closer.In this conversation, we go past the easy parallels and into the harder truth: why these two histories can’t be neatly compared — and what that misunderstanding reveals about empire, memory, and moral storytelling today.Brendan Browne, from the north of Ireland, has spent years studying the spaces where history still bleeds into the present. His work asks a different kind of question: not how conflicts echo each other, but how power teaches us to mistake those echoes for sameness.If you’ve ever wondered how colonial thinking still shapes modern conflicts — how the language of “peace,” “security,” and “stability” keeps the old hierarchies alive — this interview will make you stop and think.🧭 Watch till the end for a reflection on what it really means to “decolonize” thought — and how to see through the moral geometry of empire that still frames our world today.🎙️ Subscribe on Substack for deeper analysis: https://karat.substack.com/📺 Explore the archive: https://www.youtube.com/@saltcubeanalyticsFurther Links:Billionaire Takeover of Gaza: https://karat.substack.com/p/billionaire-takeover-of-gazaEsther Project: Israel Secretly Paid U.S. Influencers to Manipulate Public Opinion https://karat.substack.com/p/israel-secretly-paid-us-influencersTiktok, The Incestuous Relationship Between TikTok, Oracle & The Pentagon: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-incestuous-relationship-betweenTikTok is being smashed for Oracle, The Pentagon - and Israel: https://youtu.be/H2cu2-YoRooCognitive Warfare: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareTantura survivor: https://youtu.be/odTzMZmHhPYDaughter of Tantura perpetrator: https://youtu.be/Ym6SBfWm-4YIlan Pappe: https://youtu.be/KTLkQvTTFbw Gideon Levy: https://youtu.be/huTCYl8tm3gTime Stamps:00:00 Intro02:45 Who is Brendan04:15 The analogy of Ireland17:00 Transitional justice20:35 Trumps latest peace deal27:50 Tony Blair ruling Gaza30:30 The hidden tentacles of Israel40:15 Evidence and accountability43:35 Tantura50:20 The collapse of international law54:00 Pushback57:35 The end of enlightenment 01:02:20 Lawfare01:11:20 Digital Id’s, CBDC’s01:17:40 North Ireland#Ireland #Palestine #Colonialism #Empire #Geopolitics #MediaNarratives #ConflictAnalysis #Postcolonial #History #PoliticsSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

How modern states and their private partners silence dissent: de-banking, lawfare, private surveillance, and platform blacklists—told through real cases and lived experience of Suzie Dawson. This is not a tech demo; it’s what happens when you speak truth to power and the system pushes back.In this interview, we map the playbook step by step: outsourced spying, “process as punishment,” payment shutdowns, and visibility throttling.Stay to the end for the original Kim Dotcom raid footage and ask yourself if that was ever “just about copyright.”Watch if you’re researching: 🛰️ Surveillance state tactics 💳 de-banking of dissidents ⚖️ Lawfare examples.🚫 Shadowbans & platform bansGo deeper (companion dossiers){📚} Substack — in-depth exposés with receipts: https://karat.substack.comFurther Links:Person of interest documents:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KaxGN9WgRU&t=3886sThe 2018 State Services Commission Report:https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/assets/DirectoryFile/SSC-State_Services_Commissioners_response-SSC_Inquiry_into_the_Use_of_External-Security.pdfDisagree With the Government?

Why is it that every time Israel is involved, the rules of journalism suddenly change?The press is supposed to challenge power — not amplify it. But what happens when journalists stop asking questions and start serving as the megaphone of the state? In this conversation, we follow veteran correspondent Patrick Lawrence, who spent decades inside the system — The International Herald Tribune and beyond — before realizing just how much the media had changed. This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience from inside the machine.Together, we unpack how censorship now works without censors, how dissent gets erased by algorithms and “editorial priorities,” and how the line between information and propaganda has almost disappeared. We talk about:• the illusion of press freedom in the West,• how stories on Gaza and Ukraine are framed to serve power,• what the assassination of Charlie Kirk says about who’s allowed to speak,• and how the Zionisation of American politics quietly shapes what the public sees — and what it’s forbidden to ask.If you’re tired of being told what to think, this conversation is for you.📺 Watch, think, question.And if you want more deep, uncensored conversations like this, hit subscribe and tap the bell 🔔 — it helps more than you know.👇 Further Links:The Kirk narrative does not hold (Patrick Lawrence):https://thefloutist.substack.com/p/the-kirk-narrative-doesnt-holdCharlie Kirk’s Assassination Webcast (Thomas Karat): https://youtu.be/a7tF8RRdowkCharlie Kirk’s assassination a right wing power grab (Thomas Karat): https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination?r=1fs9bBillionaire Takeover of Gaza:https://karat.substack.com/p/billionaire-takeover-of-gazaPalestinian Voices (MariAnna Cara);https://winterwheat.substack.com/s/palestinian-voices?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=menuThe Incestuous Relationship Between TikTok, Oracle & The Pentagon: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-incestuous-relationship-betweenMy article about influencers: https://karat.substack.com/p/israel-secretly-paid-us-influencers?r=1fs9bMy article about Tiktok: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-incestuous-relationship-between?r=1fs9bUniversity of Alaska: A Structural Reevaluation of the Collapse of World Trade Center 7: https://ine.uaf.edu/wtc7Talk Liberation: https://talkliberation.com/Larry Johnson: https://youtu.be/PCYxa3oyYYQPatrick Baab: https://youtu.be/AJZMb8KxGn4Anna Chen, former BBC: https://youtu.be/yT7wzi8KWl0Dr. Daniele Ganser, Project Gladio: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5AEmr.

⚡Trump’s “Peace Plan” = Gaza Fire Sale.Forget ceasefires and sovereignty. What we’re looking at is colonialism with a facelift. Donald Trump struts into the UN with a 21-point “peace plan.” Tony Blair — Bush’s poodle, Iraq’s salesman-in-chief — gets crowned head of a brand-new Gaza International Transitional Authority. And who bankrolls it all? Larry Ellison. Oracle boss. Netanyahu’s billionaire buddy. The man who brags about tracking everyone, everywhere, all the time.📌 The leaked draft tells the story:* Palestinians sidelined to a token seat.* Billionaires and investors handed control.* A “property rights” clause that green-lights displacement.* An “investment promotion authority” to carve Gaza into a neoliberal theme park.This isn’t reconstruction. It’s a hostile takeover. Bomb, starve, privatize, control. Gaza today, maybe Lebanon or Jordan tomorrow. Same playbook.And the UN? Even Sigrid Kaag gets dragged into the rumor mill to sprinkle legitimacy on the scam. Neutral? Please. This is colonialism 2.0 sold as “humanitarian coordination.”🔗 Watch the last episode: https://youtu.be/H2cu2-YoRoo📌 Full Substack exposé with documents, names, and money trails: https://karat.substack.com/p/billionaire-takeover-of-gaza?r=1fs9b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true📌Join me on Substack: https://karat.substack.comIf this doesn’t make your blood boil, I don’t know what will.

Leaked U.S. Department of Justice filings have exposed Israels “Esther Project” — a covert Israeli government campaign paying American influencers to quietly push pro-Israel content across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, while bombs were falling on Gaza, another kind of war was raging online.Creators were given “personal” scripts, emotional talking points, and up to $7,000 per post — without ever revealing who was funding them.Documents show a Delaware shell company, registered as a foreign agent for Israel, funneled ministry money through PR firms to build what the DOJ now calls a digital “influence operation.”Meta later flagged parts of the network as “coordinated inauthentic behavior.”This clip breaks down how governments turn propaganda into “content” — and how easily social media becomes a battlefield for public opinion.📚 Full Report: Read “Israel Secretly Paid U.S. Influencers to Manipulate Public Opinion” — a 5,000-word investigation with every document and verified source:  👉 https://karat.substack.com#EstherProject #IsraelInfluenceOps #InformationWarfare #FARA #Hasbara #SocialMediaPropaganda #DigitalDiplomacy #KaratInvestigatesSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

🔥 Once a BBC broadcaster, now shut out of mainstream media — Anna Chen says the silence isn’t accidental.But Anna doesn’t pull her punches. In this interview she takes on the myths of Western “enlightenment,” the U.S. pivot to Asia, Europe’s deindustrialization, and the weaponization of COVID. Her words cut through the noise — calling America a Viking raiding party, exposing Hong Kong’s dirty money networks, and warning that the jaws of surveillance are already closing.📌 Along the way, I weave in my own investigations — on NATO’s cognitive warfare program, the EU’s censorship law CFSP 2025/966, and the “velvet cage” of digital IDs and financial control. What makes this talk powerful is not agreement, but the clash of perspectives: Anna takes those threads and pushes them further, sharper, and often into territory the mainstream won’t touch.🎭 From Hollywood caricatures of Chinese women to the geopolitics of Taiwan and Europe, Anna shows how culture, history, and empire are never separate. It’s uncomfortable. It’s urgent. And it’s the kind of conversation you won’t hear on legacy media.⚡ Watch till the end. You won’t agree with everything — you’re not supposed to. But you’ll walk away thinking differently about the world we’re in.👇 For more deep dives, documents, and analysis:📰 Subscribe to my Substack: karat.substack.com🎥 Explore past interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@saltcubeanalytics🐦 Follow on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@saltcubeanalytics📌 Further Links:Anna’s Website: https://www.annachen.co.ukAnna’s Substack: https://annachenwrites.substack.com US Ambassador Chas Freeman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHwyquMunWMJeffrey Sachs: https://youtu.be/JqU2Cb0HUccNord Stream Attacks: https://youtu.be/IyYFtsfohYsErik Anderson Nord Stream Researcher: https://youtu.be/91WoRwDsnc0Kaja Kallas: https://youtu.be/6bTRvGXreYIThe coming War with China: https://karat.substack.com/p/inside-trumps-2025-blueprint-forFmr.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination isn’t just another headline. It’s a political earthquake.And here’s the part no one dares to say out loud: his death was good for Israel.This video unpacks the timing, the foreign interests, and the eerie historical echoes — from JFK’s showdown with Ben-Gurion over Israel’s nuclear ambitions, to today’s convenient silencing of voices that complicate Tel Aviv’s narrative.Ask yourself: why did Netanyahu rush to praise Kirk within minutes of the shooting? Why would Israel — a country Kirk openly criticized — suddenly frame him as a “friend”? And why do the same media outlets that whitewash Western wars now control the story of his death?We connect the dots the mainstream won’t touch:💥 The strange speed of official reactions🕵️ The historical pattern of assassinations that benefit Israel📺 How media spin buries uncomfortable truths⚔️ And what this means for America’s political futureThis isn’t speculation. It’s a hard look at power, propaganda, and the beneficiaries of political murder.📌 Full investigation with sources → https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination👉 Interviews:JFK’s Assassination was good for Israel: https://youtu.be/ncDDOEVQCfcDr. Daniele Ganser: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5ASend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

British Army Colonel, son of Holocaust survivors, was arrested in London for holding a placard that said: ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.Chris Romberg — 75 years old, former defence attaché in Egypt and Jordan, son of Holocaust survivors — was among the 522 people arrested at a peaceful protest in Parliament Square after the UK government proscribed Palestine Action under anti-terror laws. Arrested for holding a simple placard reading “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” — something now criminalised under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act. Romberg says this was his first arrest ever. In this interview, Romberg speaks out about how peaceful dissent is being branded as terrorism, about legal overreach, and about what it means when states invoke national security in secret. He reflects on why he risked arrest, motivated by his family history, his service, and what he witnessed in the Middle East. He asks what kind of government punishes someone for holding a sign, and what precedents are being set for free speech and democracy. 🔔 Subscribe to stay informed with first-hand accounts and critical analyses of how state power, protest, and democracy are intersecting.📌 Further Links:NATO’s cognitive warfare program: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareDigital ID’s: https://karat.substack.com/p/scanned-scored-silencedCFSP 2025/966: https://karat.substack.com/p/pay-obey-or-get-de-bankedKaja Kasllas: https://karat.substack.com/p/how-unelected-bureaucrats-are-steering📌 Interviews:Jordans former foreign Minister: https://youtu.be/QMhITHMem4UGiddeon Gideon Levy: https://youtu.be/huTCYl8tm3gNoam Chomsky: https://youtu.be/vNCcbrqM4ksKen McCarthy: https://youtu.be/VZ2PzhTwIb0Survivor of the Tantura massacre: https://youtu.be/odTzMZmHhPYYael, Daughter of Tantura perpetrator: https://youtu.be/Ym6SBfWm-4YRich Rorer, former AIPAC: https://youtu.be/9hQ7x9QBwOsYour iPhone is a Snitch: https://youtu.be/EPWHw3VxXCsSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.
