Charlie Kirk’s Assassination: Who Really Benefitted? #2
Charlie Kirk is dead. But the bigger story is what happened in the hours after the shot was fired. Tributes from Trump and Netanyahu rolled out in sync. Israeli media went into overdrive. The White House promised the Medal of Freedom. And suddenly, a fractured American right was re-stitched together under the banner of “shared grief.”This video digs deeper than the headlines. We look at:👉Why officials blamed “leftist ideology” and Discord footprints—and why Discord itself pushed back.👉How Netanyahu and Trump seized the narrative within minutes.👉Why Israel, under fire for its strike on Qatar, gained political cover at the perfect moment.👉And how Kirk’s death is being weaponized to lock the U.S.–Israel alliance even tighter.This isn’t about lone gunmen or tinfoil theories. It’s about power—who gains, who loses, and how the script gets written before the body is cold.📌 Read the full investigative breakdown on Substack: https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination?r=1fs9b📌 Follow for more deep-dive reports: https://karat.substack.com/👉 Don’t just watch the news.

Charlie Kirk' Assassinated! Who Benefits?
Charlie Kirk’s assassination isn’t just a tragedy — it’s a script. Within 20 minutes, Netanyahu had a eulogy online. Within an hour, U.S. media had already pinned blame on the left. Too fast. Too clean. Too rehearsed.This deep-dive connects the dots between Kirk’s killing and a long history of “strategy of tension” politics — from Operation Gladio in Cold War Europe to modern algorithmic psy-ops. We ask the questions mainstream outlets won’t touch:* Who benefits from Kirk’s death?* Why did Israel’s Prime Minister move faster than U.S. authorities?* How is the right weaponizing his martyrdom to justify censorship and crackdowns?* And what does this mean for dissent in America, right now?👉 Watch as we break down the timeline, the media blitz, and the eerie historical echoes — and expose how assassinations become power grabs in plain sight.⚠️ Full source-rich report available here: https://karat.substack.com/p/special-edition-charlie-kirks-assassination?r=1fs9bFurther Links:Cognitive warfare:https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareCouncil decision CSFP 2025: https://karat.substack.com/p/pay-obey-or-get-de-bankedDigital IDs:https://karat.substack.com/p/scanned-scored-silenced?r=1fs9bDr. Daniele Ganser interview:https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5A#CharlieKirk #Assassination #Gladio #FalseFlag #Authoritarianism #MediaPropagandaSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Was JFK’s Assassination Good for Israel? Ken McCarty on Hidden History & Zionist Power
🚨 What if JFK had lived? Would America’s relationship with Israel—and the Middle East—be unrecognizable today?Ken McCarty’s explosive research argues Kennedy’s assassination was good for Israel 🇮🇱, erasing his resistance to Zionist extremism and paving the way for policy shifts… and cover-ups like the USS Liberty ⚓.In this hard-hitting interview, we dig into Ken McCarty’s explosive book “JFK and RFK’s Secret Battle Against Zionist Extremism,” which argues that Kennedy’s assassination was good for Israel 🇮🇱—not in theory, but in the very real shift in U.S. policy that followed.📜 Backed by 38+ declassified documents, McCarty shows how JFK stood against Israel’s nuclear ambitions, challenged the American Zionist Council, and resisted extremist influence in Washington. His death erased that resistance overnight—replacing it with a willingness to accommodate a foreign state’s interests… and to cover up its crimes.⚓ That pattern is nowhere more visible than in the attack on the USS Liberty—an event so buried that fewer than 1% of Americans even know it happened. I’ve covered it twice before in interviews, and in an in-depth Substack report, and it still forces us to confront the uncomfortable question: Who really benefited from Kennedy’s death?This isn’t the history you got in school. It’s the story that lives in classified cables, in redacted memos, and in the silences of official narratives. And once you hear it, you can’t un-hear it.📌 Full USS Liberty Report on Substack: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-day-israel-attacked-america?utm_source=publication-search📌 Further Links:USS Liberty Survivor Phil Tourney: https://youtu.be/LmjN1uTuylsJames Bamford: https://youtu.be/RVvLp0JVvCkHollywood Billionaire and Israeli Superspy: https://youtu.be/fjy55BS6Y5kDr. Daniele Ganser Project Gladio: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5AEmeritus Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro: https://youtu.be/XVlO2TOlczMNoam Chomsky: https://youtu.be/vNCcbrqM4ksProf. Avi Shlaim: https://youtu.be/F2-Fl-9ocMQ Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, Exposing Israel’s IDF Religious Indoctrination Tactics: https://youtu.be/fvHffGoE-HUTime Stamps:00:00 Intro07:20 JFK’s secret battle12:00 USS Liberty17:55 Propaganda in America24:35 Fascists and big money29:15 Extremist zionism35:25 Foreign agents in America38:20 JFK’s death good for Israel59:05 Israels corruption of America01:10:45 Israel first - then America01:26:50 Epstein and Mossad#JFK #USSLiberty #Israel #KenMcCarty #MiddleEastHistory #HiddenHistory #PoliticalAssassinationsSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Life in the West Bank: Culture, Survival & the Threat of Settler Violence
🔔 A 93-year-old Palestinian woman tells the story of an entire people. Born in Jaffa before the Nakba, she has lived through exile, war, and decades of Israeli occupation.

An Israeli Daughter Confronts Her Father’s Role in the Tantura massacre from 1948 - with Yael
❓What happens when the daughter of an Israeli soldier involved in one of Palestine’s most harrowing massacres decides to speak out?👩⚕️ Yael is a psychologist living in self-imposed exile in London. Her journey is unlike any other: from growing up inside the heart of Israeli society, to experiencing a profound break with Zionist ideology — a shift that forced her to confront both national myths and family history.🏚 The Tantura massacre of 1948 remains a wound in Palestinian memory and a flashpoint of denial in Israel.

YOU are the Target in NATO's Cognitive Warfare Program - with Thomas Fazi
🧨 He’s being silenced—for opposing NATO’s war narrative. Now he speaks out.Journalist and political analyst Thomas Fazi is one of the few public intellectuals in Europe willing to expose how NATO, the EU, and Western governments are manufacturing consent for endless war—and how dissenters like him are targeted, digitally suffocated, and defamed.🎯 In this explosive interview, we discuss:👉 How NATO’s “cognitive warfare” doctrine justifies domestic propaganda and psychological ops👉 The EU’s censorship-industrial complex: soft power meets hard suppression👉 Coordinated disinformation campaigns aimed not at enemies—but at critics👉 Why algorithms, funding networks, and think tank pressure converge to make open debate almost impossible👉 And what it’s like to live under constant attack—not for lying, but for telling the truth too earlyIf you’ve ever suspected your worldview is being manipulated—this is your confirmation. 📌 Share it while you still can.🎯 Further Links:Cognitive Warfare: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfare?r=1fs9b👉 Kaja Kallas: https://youtu.be/6bTRvGXreYI👉 Your Iphone is a Snitch: https://youtu.be/EPWHw3VxXCs👉 You are the target: https://youtu.be/9GUAI4KB6VQ👉 European Council Resolution CSFP: https://youtu.be/r28AxyJoSPM👉 Ivan Katchanovski, US Coup in Ukraine: https://youtu.be/fz-5nuPJ-I4👉 Noam Chomsky: https://youtu.be/QplHaF4Ii_Y👉 Patrik Baab: https://youtu.be/AJZMb8KxGn4👉 Economic Hitman: https://youtu.be/IGEBRG8kIvo👉 Nord stream attack: https://youtu.be/91WoRwDsnc0Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro07:40 Who is Thomas Fazi09:30 Silencing critical voices22:25 Criminalising dissent38:30 Standing Army01:03:00 How the Petro Dollar maintains the US EmpireSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

The American Empire Is Losing Control - with Scott Horton
They say America’s greatest export is freedom—but Scott Horton would argue it’s war, wrapped in freedom's packaging and sold at gunpoint.In this rare and unfiltered conversation, Scott takes aim at the bipartisan machine of empire: how the U.S. is barreling toward war with China 🇨🇳, why “unintended consequences” are always the point, and what happens when a country built on liberty starts sacrificing it—one covert op at a time.💥 We talk about America's geostrategic nightmare—the kind where our bases surround the world, but our own interests vanish.🕵️♂️ We dig into the CIA’s dirty laundry—where the line between intelligence and organized crime gets real blurry.🚢 We bring up the USS Liberty—the attack your government begged you to forget.✝️ We even take a hard look at religious indoctrination and how belief systems are weaponized to justify war.📘 And yes, Scott unpacks his latest book Provoked—an indictment of how Washington didn't just stumble into the new Cold War... it lit the match.This isn’t your average interview.

How America is Preparing for War with China - with fmr. Foreign Minister of Malta Evarist Bartolo
⚠️ Evarist Bartolo — veteran Maltese diplomat, educator, and former Foreign Minister — joins us for a rare, wide-ranging conversation on global power, quiet diplomacy, and the unique position of small states in a world dominated by giants.From his front-row seat in Malta’s complex balancing act between NATO, the EU, and constitutional neutrality, Bartolo shares grounded insights on what it takes to practice diplomacy without coercion. He reflects on the changing face of global alliances, the risks of military bloc politics, and what Europe has forgotten about peace.💬 "You don’t need a big stick to speak with clarity—just the courage to stand firm in a storm."This isn’t just about China. It’s about the kind of political voice we rarely hear anymore—one shaped not by spectacle or status, but by experience, humility, and the long game of history.📌 Links Mentioned in the interview:👉 Website Evarist Bartolo: https://evaristbartolo.mt/👉 Inside Trump’s 2025 Blueprint for War with China:https://karat.substack.com/p/inside-trumps-2025-blueprint-for👉 How Trump Prepares America For War With China:https://youtu.be/wD0CsFz5LCQ👉 Cognitive warfare:https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfare?r=1fs9b👉 Media Manipulation, Big Tech Censorship, and the Pentagon’s War on Public Opinion:https://youtu.be/9GUAI4KB6VQ👉 The Day Israel attacked America: https://karat.substack.com/p/the-day-israel-attacked-america 👉 The Coming War: Is Europe Sleepwalking into Global Chaos: https://youtu.be/6bTRvGXreYIIvan Katchanovski: https://youtu.be/fz-5nuPJ-I4USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney: https://youtu.be/LmjN1uTuylsDaniele Ganser: https://youtu.be/DoTUFeKZB5AGlenn Diesen: https://youtu.be/d-QXdozeW04US Ambasador Chas Freeman: https://youtu.be/SiMUmasmulETime Stamps:00:00 Intro03:50 Who is Evarist Bartolo08:00 The coming war with China13:45 A century of humiliation22:00 Western decline25:25 14 dwarfs and on Giant36:30 The fall of the rules based order48:55 How Trump prepares America for war with China01:01:10 War in the Baltics01:03:10 USS Liberty and other false flag operations01:07:15 WW3 has already begun01:13:40 The Popes permission to killSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Disagree With the Government? Say Goodbye to Your Money!
🧠 They’re building a new financial control system—and you are already in it.In this deep dive, I expose how Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), AI-powered surveillance, and silent financial blacklists are merging into a new system of control—one that punishes not what you do, but what you think and believe.You’ll see how dissent is being priced out of existence. How donations to the “wrong” cause can freeze your bank account. How algorithms quietly determine whose voice gets heard—and whose gets erased. And how governments and corporations are creating a velvet cage around you, one ‘safety measure’ at a time.This isn’t a warning about the future. It’s a guided tour through the infrastructure of financial authoritarianism being built right now. And no—this isn’t just about radicals and rebels. This is about you.🔒 Topics covered:– CBDCs and programmable money– AI surveillance and automated blacklisting– De-banking of protestors, journalists, and NGOs– The chilling effect of financial censorship on free speech– The illusion of “safety” as control– What you can do to resist👇 Links and Sources:Substack: Pay, obey or get De-Banked:https://karat.substack.com/p/pay-obey-or-get-de-bankedCognitive warfare: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareEvarist Bartolo: https://youtu.be/45bFziMaPxUParrik Baab: https://youtu.be/AJZMb8KxGn4Your iPhone is spying on you: https://youtu.be/EPWHw3VxXCsTime Stamps:00:00 Intro03:45 NATO’s new battleground, your Brain10:30 Financial Censorship as Counterinsurgency16:10 CFSP 2025/966: Europe’s New Inquisition21:50 Globalizing the War on Financial Freedoms32:00 The Road Ahead: From Financial Censorship to Technocratic Tyranny📌 Watch, share, and stay informed.

How Trump Prepares America For War With China
The U.S. says it doesn’t want war with China. But the trillion-dollar budgets, the arms deals, the troop deployments, and the rising drumbeat of “deterrence” say otherwise.In this exposé, we cut through the Pentagon press releases and media talking points to ask the real questions:📌 Who's driving this new Cold War—and why?📌 Why are think tanks, defense contractors, and lobbyists cashing in while Taiwan becomes a flashpoint?📌 Is this about security… or is it about profit?We dig deep into how Washington is building the next conflict—economically, militarily, and psychologically. From AUKUS subs to TikTok bans, missile stockpiles to media narratives, it’s all part of the same machine. And history shows: when the machine moves fast enough… it slips.This isn’t speculation. It’s happening. And unless we understand the stakes, we risk sleepwalking into catastrophe.Further Links:Inside Trump’s 2025 Blueprint for War with Chinahttps://karat.substack.com/p/inside-trumps-2025-blueprint-for?r=1fs9bCognitive warfare: https://karat.substack.com/p/cognitive-warfareYoutube: https://youtu.be/9GUAI4KB6VQPatrik baab: https://youtu.be/AJZMb8KxGn4US Ambassador Chas Freeman: https://youtu.be/SiMUmasmulETime Stamps:00:00 Intro08:00 Hawks in high places15:15 Fortifying the Indo-Pacific Frontline22:00 Arsenals and Industry: Money is flowing28:25 Taiwan the Powder Keg33:15 Economic warfare and Propaganda Blitz 39:50 Profits and Prophecies: Who benefits 👇 Watch, share, and join the conversation in the comments.#USChina #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #Taiwan #Geopolitics #AUKUS #DefenseSpending #InformationWarfare #PacificWarSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.
