S Iran War And it is a war So why today am I calling it the warar Ishcast? You'll see later there are indications that the U. S and the Iranians are setting themselves up for another clash, which will most likely happen by late today. And we'll talk about more on that later. Hello, Carol from Washington, DC. I'm sorry, it's hot down there Where I'm at here in New York, it we finally got rain. It rained all night. It's going to rain all day today. The temperature is broken. so I moved from the Damascus liivving room up here to to my my Syrian Diwan down there to back to my writing office And and things are pretty chilling So and let's welcome back after a weekend a hard party in what with his spooky buddies Jacob Carlsbow is back. The hangover is over He slept, I guess all Sunday. Officially over It's officially over there. Oh, I don't know if you know. This is not not a place promotion One second. Dud it's There's a bacteria thing you can drink now. And before you start drinking alcohol by the you can drink get drunk as much as you want and the next day you wake up without a hangover There is already a thing for there That's a bit late now, Wudy. You didn't tell me though. Listen guys I've been around heard things before I know about five hundred times when I was in Iraq I was offered this stuff called Red Mercury Have you ever heard of this thing? It's supposed to be some sort of incredible it No, it's a chemical one that was in The one that was in the There was there was a pick N nothing thermostat the there was u A sewing machine in Saudi Arabia that had Zeba Koahmar the red It became so expensive at one point and everyone was like trying to buy it and get their hands on it because I was in the old wank age sewing machines, but yeah,'s the big it's the biggest scam in the Middle East I mean this scam must have gone on when the first thermostats were brought over by the French, right? And they had red Mercury in instead of you know, silver mercury or Mercury silver folks. And when I was in Iraq, they were like silver red Mercuruly chief. It is chemical weapon. It is very rare, very rare. If you just give me twenty five Kalashniicol and one hundred thousand dollars, I bring this to you. is like, o, you want me to arm the former regime Lith. through reed Mercury So anyways to that. That's up there. this cure. Cure for the hangover gave order g on witchcraft. I gave up on witchcraft many, many years ago. about you have to deal with it. You have to deal with the aftermath and then Someday, Waj when we have our talk about genies, we have to throw in their Kkk All right, we have to throw in Krikree. Krikree is is the African belief in voodoo And I have seen it everywhere. everybody believes in it. So But before we get into this innocuous subject because now we are rapidly shooting towards a thousand people. Let me introduce the not hungover Jacob Czbo, Danish intntelligence officer Extraordinaire is back from his weekend to bingeathon with his bookky bros. and then we have Waja, I swear I have red Mercury. Lion who is here with his awesome ass Waja, the gay lion t shirt I'm really jealous of that sureir I mean that is really, really nice U you know, somebody did him a good shirt. He's frozen a little bit on my screen, but u Well,ahi, I hope he comes back For those he dropped out, I guess he's having a wFire probleump For those of you who were here yesterday, I will not be touching my audio for the next hour. I know some of you had Volume problems going up and down I screwed with it and that ended the show prematurely. So let's just let it be what it is. Drop yourself out, come back in see if that's that's your Woger will be back in a second now that that that short of his though. I got to tell you that that is That is a mean design that one of his followers at Por. So he's going to be back in a moment of inv inv him Oh, that being said, I'm here today. I'm not wearing any cool ass Malcolm shirt. and I saw a couple of questions asking about it. This is my Jerusalem shirt. And I wore this once on another pa set. Somebody said, I didn't realize spook isn't a derogatory word. It is not a derogatory word for those of us in the community. As a matter of fact, I used to call myself a spooky spook. and in the Double andingie word. But yeah, within the community we still say that old word. And if you ever whoo's the guy who wrote the author of the of the u slow horses I don't know if you've seen the TV series Slow Horses. I you know, I like the show, but the only character in it that's real Gry Oldman's character, right? and slow horses. That guy has the attitude, the talk of an old Cold War spook, right? And one of the books is called Spook Street And we actually used to use that phrase Sookstam And I guess it's globally community wide. So there's I will also say Medra Malcolm, it's a trade where we don't get offended easily N. you What are you do you try to kill me? So So we don't, you know,, whatever Yeah. And somebody else said, Graham Greens's the spook who sat by the door. The phrase spook within the community is not offensive. It's not like, you know, I mean, I used to hear people would say, oh, you've got a to Stop using the word whiteboard or flip chart And we're like what? And they're like, it's offensive to various cultures. I'm like, Re really? a dry erase. You gott to refer to it as a dry erase board. Not on this vodcast. board is white. I draw on it. and it's a white board. And a flip chart is just a chart where you flip the paper and people said that that was actually offensive. It was a derogatory chd for term for people from the Filipino Islands U whichich I've never heard a Fhilipino ever say that to me Same thing with with, you know, us in the community So today on coffee mugs, yes, you guys are seeing me wear my Jerusalem shirt which I got in Jerusalem and we talked about this during the war when a ballistic missile warhead missed my hotel by twenty meters and didn't blow up. And if it the people hadt been at air raid, that bus stop right across from the front of the Sephardic Hotel It usually has about twenty thirty people in it just there at all times because it's a big bus stop And the missile pit right in the middle of that bus stop didn't explode. It's two thousand pound warhead didn't explode. So I have been to Jerusalem. I love Jerusalem. I like going to Jerusalem, full disclosure Ten years ago, I wrote a book which is very, very Bible heavy. it's sort of a a fun modern reinterpretation of intelligence activities at that period of history and I like to go to Jerusalem. and and one of my favorite places in the world is there and that's the the bar at the King David Hotel. Cheers. So, you know, you whenever to help Jerusalem. let me know. the oldest tattoo shop in the world is there. Oh, yeah, yeah, you mentioned that to me So that it's the most fascinating city in the world for me. I'll tell J. Yeah. I can you're walking down the street and you're like Oh the seventh station of the cross Yeah you know you're like, okay. It's like, o, this is you're walking by and you're wondering why these pilgrims are touching this stone And I you know, I've been to Jerusalem a few times, but I can't always get on to the JC trail, right? that Jesus trarayal of, you know, of of Jesus' trail as he's walking up to being crucified. But I do always get to the to I know how to find my way around because the stone of Simon of Sereicca is there. And this is Simon the G. You'll hear people refer to him as. But Simon Serenicus was a black guy from Benghazzi who was standing there because he was the only black dude. The Romans ordered him to Jesus carry the cross, right? And he And you know the first thing he said was, no, it's because I'm black, right so And the answer is yes. Now help them carry the cross. You know You're in this massive crowd in Jerusalem. Who's the only guy that stands up? Obviously a man who is strong. who helped Jesus carry the cost. And then you go up that step And even though the stairway leading up there is actually four feet above what it was at the time Um You could just that that was a hard ass carry You know, I could barely walk myself up there. It was very steep in that city. But I love Jerusalem because you just go around, you learn things, you see things I've been to both sides of the whaling wall, right? I've been in invited to and I was allowed to pray in the Alq Samas. I have been in inside the Dome of the Rock U so Somebody goes spit take, spit, take what. So anyway, can we come out to coffee now It's time for coffee. I am on my Navy. Epresso cup Demit Okay from the official U.S. Navy issue up until the end of World War two What do you? I have I have the officially very boring that that in my beach house notothing fancy about those from Ikea IkeA from I think it's Yeahah, it is IKEA. That's right I remember it's the same cup. So I woke up late so I couldn't make myself coffee. I had to join real quick Hey and thank you for educating everybody. The route that Jesus took what I call the JC trail is officially called the Villia de laa Rosa. U and the spot and you're correct that the spot where Simon Serenicus help Jesus carry the cross is one of the stations of the cross. It's after Jesus balls a second time And I have a I have a gold St Cyrus or St Simon of Syerenicus Medallion from Jerusalem ' you could buy them everywhere, right? They gott to sell something in those tourist shops. So yeah, love, love love Jerusalem despite the fact that everybody's fighting all the time. And here's the kicker. I would say eightighty percent of the businesses in there are Palestinians. Right rightight They either Israeli Israeli palested Arabs, Israeli Palestinians is E city Palestinians who come over to open up their shops every day I have never been I'm about to say something horrible I have only been mistreated once in Jerusalem And I was about to say I've never been mistreated in Jerusalem Once And that one time was when I went to the Western wall. I went to the whaling wall. I had to keep on And I went to go put my note in the wall, you know, you can ask for a wish if you write it down in the wall. And as I was coming at, an American Jewish raabbinical student Talmudic student spat on me And I said, I'm US. Navy I said, you need to show me a little respect And that was dot dot dot or I am just going to kick your ass here in front of the soldiers. And even the soldiers really just went at him like, hey, what the fuck are you doing Right? That's one of our shipmates And because you know, soldiers, soldiers and all that stuff. But You know, way back when some of the Most radical extremist people on the Israeli side are American emigrants Sorry, that's it. that guy that guy was a c Russian. Oh, donon't get me started on the Russians, right? Like I said, the first time we had a terrorist attack, it wasn't a terrorist attack when I was in AshdD. It was the Russian mafia trying to bomb out previous Jewish owner from a place they wanted to turn into a strip club And they threw hand grenades inside to do it. And we thought it was a terrorist attack. and the next morning they' like, N just mafia Russian mafia are going after the locals So the you have it But that being said, I love these shirts. I wear my JTown shirts. And people always go, o, have you been to Jerusalem, Jerusalem? It's like,, clearly that's when I wear this Sass shirt. Also needed a clean shirt this morning. So I wore that. So thank you. We've gotten up to wow. raapidly got to our one thousand followers. Let's talk about The activities that are going on. W you? Oil market opened yesterday at five PM. What are the prices looking like because there is an in I actually of There's an enormous amount of talk right now between the real expert They are starting to get to Panicsville becausecause they are saying oil should be selling right now at one hundred and thirty a barrel based on the inventory that's in the pipeline. versus what the market traders are doing. Look at that WTI sixty eight three war levels Fred for North Sea Rude. ple of bucks of up pre lore Revels, same thing with Merbon Bot This is crazy, people Everybody who's an expert out there says there's nothing in the pipeline And with that, I happen to have some notes here Thank you, Wja The price versus inventory debate is going on in full. They say whoever these oil speculators are who think everything's going to better overnight high on their own lack of supply and are imagining Oil that doesn't exist see In United States at strategic its strategic petroleum reserve is at a forty three year low. It is below three hundred thousand Three hundred is it three hundred million? three hundred million barrels. And two sixty is considered defense cutoff Once we hit that, which could be in a matter of days, Automatically we're supposed to cut it off because that is the oil leftover to fight a war. They're saying that that oil could run out by the tenth to the fifteenth of July And if we get to automatic cutoff then we're going to start seeing shortages not discrepancies Shortag just means shit just ain't there The world. The world's strategic petroleum reserves All of the minus China I have to add Okay, China did not open its SDR. It is using it as a cushion. It overfillmed The world drained thirty Five years of stord strategic petroleum reserves in sixty days Thank you, Donald Trump. Donald Trump personally. this one the world put together and prepared for a rainy day For thirty five years because of Donald Trump's actions of attacking Iran has emptied the worldorld Strategic Petroleum Reserve. in just the first sixty days of the war And don't forget, war went on further than that And it is now it What is this? eighteen months? Oh It will take eighteen months for the United States if the Strait of Hormas goes back to its previous flows of oil take eight een months to refill the strategic petroleum reseserve if we only buy oil and refill the strategic petroleum reseserve. Jateg Just the strategic test the strategic Petroleum reserve. And that would require Yes what. Yeah. And if If it goes back to normal. If that's a big if And one thing also, Malcolm, we should and Waty, we should remember is the fact that one of the factors keeping the prices down is that the Chinese still have not reverted to their previous purchases that they were They were un before I don't have a clue what the Chinese calculation is But when they are to that level of thirty percent above what they're purchasing now That will be a bang right in the the prices in the. I think their I think their strategy is keep it at the max, get excess and then we could sell the excess at one hundred and thirty dollars a barrel when it reaches its absolute right limit. listen, I love this comment by Meredith Lloy. She goes, and that's how you bankrupt the casino Wh' happened quite a few times, right? Yes. And Sylvia, one woman, Sylvia says, should I buy fuel oil for my furnace Sister, if you're still on to get a oil fed furntace Five maximum right now Now, if they offer you a deal throughout the winter, buy it my house, my giant house It's like four furnaces because it was converted into four oil four separate apartments and I got rid of that. Everything in this house is on one natural gas fed burner I couldn't believe it fuel oil. You could be damn sure. I would always run out of fuel oil in the middle of a blizzard here. It's like the deliveries were time for that So yeah, get your oil Home heating oil, Holy cow. now may be the time to take out that home l equy load and get on natural gas That ain't going to go out anytime soon Whad? You know what country is still on gas oil gas heating Not gasolating, like like, you know, gasoline area A Sria. o how do they even fel themselves with that tiny little oil field they got Well, now they have the Saudis helping them out invest in the oil field U they're getting a little ext They're Yeah. Alul Bashad al Asad was halting a lot of the production for his own security interest Giulani has opened this is currently the sale of gasoline for the Syrian people This is my own personal intel from people on the ground. U and now gasoline is available for anyone that can afford it There are people going out during the winter buying donations and giving it to four people that can't support it But majority of Syrians are almost below the poverty line and have to ration their gas or ration their money to determine how much gas they can buy keep them warm during the winter depending on the family. But yes, they still use gas Wow, okay. Wow, someone even has a gas refrigerator. Um you that's amazing. Straight of Horm Mves. let's take a little talk about the Straight of Horm Mz. Tanker traffic did open up a bit Overwhelming majority of it went through the Iranian traffic separation scheme. However, it appears The United States Navy may have been executing sort of semi scs with air power as the actual escorting entity as opposed to Navy warships. Another three ship convoy came out of the straight or form All VLCCs with the name Victory as their last name And those vessels all came out in a little cononga line of three vessels. And I'm sure that look, I was there for Operation Ernest W when we were escorting Kuwaiti tankers, the entire length of this Persian Gulf And as soon as they would arrive, they'd get attacked or they'd hit mines down in the street of one was which is where all this was happening. And okay, that's three ships If they're container ships, it doesn't mean anything. And even if they're VLCCs, it doesn't mean anything U, but U S. ships escorted three ships out yesterday A news report came out that the Japanese have cut a deal with the Iranians. And the first Iranian ship to leave the first Japanese ship to leave the Strait of Hormn Mus since the start of the war went out yesterday. and was quickly followed by Three others, there may be as many as six Japanese ships. coming out using the Iranian traffic separation scheme Now Malcolm, why do people keep using the ICSS or TSS It's as simple as this War risk insurance can be up to five million dollars. Right day if you transit that area Where's the Iranians are only charging you two million So it's cheaper to just pay the toll. I'm sorry, the environmental and saafety management fee. Thank you you said. I sa you even as I said it. Richard. It's a service, it's a service charge Yeah, it's a service card Hello, Sort of his Chter. S of his t And you know what's kind funnier? The IRGC will even come on your ship and they will wipe down the windows. to bring you of your ship and they go she here is your in receipt. Thank you, sir for coming And's very strange. It does happen that if you don't pay that service charge The alternative is to get a drone through your window. So you ch Green window, drone window. Toice. your tooys. two million They the shle last week. There, let me check. A well, multipass Yeah clean windows. You cheating, Gown path. Anyway, thats that's pretty much somebody says you get free glassware. You get a hookah E every ten passes through the IRJC traffic separationke you get a free hookah So that's that's it. Okay So the United Arab Emirates, on the other hand, has figured this out very early. We know that they use the Habhan Fujera oil bypass But one of the other things they realized was the Iranians were really focusing on big vessels They were not focusing on lighters, small vessels or barges. So from almost the start of the, somebody said, do you get green stamps? Yes you your head tol I anyi Greenst But since the start of the war, they've realized the Iranians were not attacking or anyone that was going through the very shallow waters of the Omani Mussundan Peninsula. They were the ones that helped affect the belief by the US Navy that you could get back and forth through there, because they started running shuttle tankers, small vessels onlyly with a few, you know,, you know, a few hundred thousand barrels of oil would shoot through the shallows, go to Fujea and do a ship to ship transfer and since the beginning of the war, the United Arab Emirates has been daily doing shuttle tanker services through this pathway And it's some big secret. likeike the Iranians saw it, they just didn't want to bother with small ships. burn as good as giant ships, right Um So the Fua sh shuttle was going on since the start of the war With regards to other activity in the Stit of Hormos and why I call today the warar Iskas There was intense U.S. aerial activity over the Strait of Hormz when those three ships came out The United States is running A ten Ward haaw strike aircraft again, most likely more helicopters and are possibly bringing U. S. warships up to the edge of the eastern zone of the Strait of Horormz to give those tankers air defenses, which means they are operating in a hostile manner. And the reason that I mention this again is because like I said, I've been through the SOH. I've been through it in the daytime. somethingomet to see when you can see both sides when both sides of your you know, both walls on both sides of your warship and know that you can be attacked I've been there when I heard of GC vessels have come out U interestnting times The United States ears to be wanting to do this tellell Trump that we are escorting all these vessels out of the straight oformance when in fact ninety percent of these vessels come through the SOH today authorized by the Iranians, most of them are carrying Iranian oil And now we've seen that they're carrying the Japanese oil. They authorized Kuwait to start bringing out very large crude carriers through the multip Eit area This appears to be performative There is no reason these ships need to go that way except to favor do favor with Trump. And one of those people just happens to be a Greek shipping billionaire He is currying favor with Trump. He prepared to see those ships get attacked time soon All right Wa gotot anything to add to to the Middle East book before we shift over to Uh, Yemen and North Africa Iran has waved the red flag during all the red flags during the communized funeral Esentially signaling revenge U You have essentially said that the Iranians and the Americans are getting ready to attack each other at some point today or in the next two days I I agree. think this is slowing down the peace talks are going well The fact that there's twenty million people out on the streets for Hammunai' funeral is a very big deal. The fact that one hundred plus countries showed up for his funeral is also a very big deal is very jzealous and upset and I don't know u how upset like I don't know how he can could control his anger at this point. The Saudis attended buddies attended. the Chinese attended the Pakistanis attended. the Indians attended So like at this point, Trump is looking around and was like, well, maybe I'm not the favorite guy on the world stage. It' like thought I was. So yes, things are not looking so good for Trump at the moment on the world stage when it comes to the Middle East No, of course or not Jic lear now No, definitely not. And I don't know this whole withith the funeral and the sons of of Harmi being there except Moshtaba. I was asked by a journalist And I said, it couldnt mean anything because he was like into conspiracy theories and is it it because they're afraid he'll get assassinated and all that. I mean, I don't know what condition he's in. I don't know if he's alive. I don't know if he's half alive or whatever, we haven't seen any proof of life proof of life We know there are some real bad guys running the country And then the other sons are present at the funeral. It's yeah We'll see, I wrote an article about exactly the scenario on two days ago The reality is, according to Iranian Shar Allah only person that can lead the funeral prayer for ahaminaii. is another supreme leader It's not the deputy suupreme leader. It's not Any of the other religious clerks And the biggest test for Kam andai is showing up on the last day of his father. Now Iron could hire a body double or they could use AI or whatever But the reality is that's the biggest test for the audians because the Shia The Sia is waiting to see the Supreme leader lead the prayer and that is the signal to them That the leader is still alive, The Islamic nation is still good Iranian is a theocracy. It is not a dictatorship. The reality is the IRGC are the ones running the country, then the government has shifted from being a theocracy to becoming a dictatorship And that is a very big problem for the Shia Muslim world because that could signal the beginning of the failure of the IRGC in terms of a religious date, which is a big problem for the Shiia community. I was just trying to look up the date that he's supposed to be buried in Meshot. So You're saying there's a timetable for Mutat al Hhameni to lead the prayer Today isn't today todayod's Monday He's going He went to Najeff So this is real time analysis where you got to double check your work. So Um, So Kameni is supposed to be in Nadjf Okay, We'll see about that. Well we're going to double check on that because that would be an interesting effect if the Mushtab is supposed to lead the prayer. Now this says he can't lead the prayer remotely Right? Ihing you doew whver they couldn't. All right, so long as everybody can see the prayer. There's a guy standing on the No. days Kas. We're in a seventy two hour timetable to see if Isic Shia Islamic doctrine is broken. That being said, considering the threat I think the Iranians are sitting there going, if he doesn't lead the prayer, I'm out supporting the IRGC. It doesn't work like that over there, right? Coffee, tea, dates, That's the most important part of your day. And then thinking about your obligations. And you know, the IRGC will still say you know, we are the guardians of the revolution So we are still we must takeend the theocracy, whatever the reality is, you know, they will just say, we are still the guardians Yeah. Yeah I could definitely see that as well. Yes, you're absolutely correct Well, again, another interesting point. Medina Jad, which you mentioned yesterday, showed up for the funeral So did Ishmael Canni Right? The IRGC commander. No one has seen him since day one. everyveryone assesss that he died in the bunker. But this guy's got nine lies to the point where people sort of think That's interesting. Is he a sp Yeah He's got to be He's got to be the source. He's got to be the spy. He's got got to be the side. But we know Israel does actually kill their sources Right? Sometimes it's in your interest. To make sure that the stench is off of one of your assets And they burn them literally. So U, you know, they they don't if it's in their interest, they will not hesitate to say, hey, that was a great source. Let's kill everyone in the high hard GD leadership. and if our bro gets out if he's out in the bathroom taking a pee then lucky him But everyone goes That being said, I wanted to show you something Ljia. I didn't wear this t shirt today because one, it was hard to see But I wanted to entertain you with this shirt that I got A couple of years ago, I don't know if you can read it Oh So Chakamaco Shaku Maku. I said tell everyone That's that's a rocky word for what's up Well How's it going That'sakuu Cool Muuu. Yeah man I don't mind Americans you know appropriating that. That's actually one of the good ones you could appropriate. Got Baghdad That's beautiful acc. Shakuaku. Shu Aaku. In Iraqi dialect, they don't say there is like everybody else, right which would be like C or what's in it, right They say that clelearly Iraqi dialect word which means there is or there. All right, N not h not who not You right? Sbe who not you, No, it's for of herag Uh, but Faku is there So shu Aku means what is there? M There is nothing. So Shakumaku's life was up nothing at the same time It's it's really What's happening what's not happening? What' happen the literal definition is what's happening? what's not happening. Yeah, what is or what's not there Yeah Yeah. ye. And hick I picked up quite a good point by one of our viewers that who was saying Islamic jurisprudence can be flexible during war, right? And I think I think that's the essence and perhaps also tied to the red flags that you were mentioning, Waji. You know they after the the suupreme leader getting killed You know, this whole justification for Mushtaba not being there, not leading the prayers, et cetera, et cetera. It could be tied to this whole survival war argument that pushes back the Islamic jurisprudence. I can see that I am consulting one of the greatest books on Islamic jurisprudence, which is Ill sit in M Arabian night in reference to war. Don't laugh. Don't laugh. I have never read anything so exact. and there are entire treatises there on what a good king, a good prince would do in war and can do, cannot do. And of course, we all know wartime, a lot of the Quran is suspended. You don't have to pray Right? If you're on, you know, in Rab R? If you're on a combat ost You don't have to pray five times a day. If your watch requires you to be in the direction of the enemy. You can pray, my guys would just put the rifle right in front of them put it on fire And then one guy would do Overwatch, the rest would pray And then that guy would right, the arrest would do Overwatch So that's right. And I told you that famous story where It's in my memoir where U. S. intelligence guy and amateur idiot called the Arabicry cryptology division to find out what time the Muslims in Syria would pray. in the morning And I was like, Yeah, well they pray in, you know, the from your prayers and I go, wait a minute. planlning an airirstrike Dawn because you think their facts will be turned to you. That is exactly what they saw That's how stupid some of the people we have. And I go, you know, they're allowed to prey on their guns, right And sure enough, they shot down two of our airplanes killed a file that captured another So that's what happens when you don't understand the cultures that you're dealing with Speaking of cultures we don't understand, let's talk about Yemen, Jacob, hit us with it Yem' getting hot, yo Yeah, exactly. there's a lot of action going on near the Babel Mandip You heard about the attent, right At Hoda, the ship Exactly at Odida and in the vicinity there, there's a lot of stuff going on back and forth and the Well, the not the Houthis, but the Yemen army is actually trying to claw back But as far as I can tell, I'll check it out moreor for tomorrow, but it seems they are having, you know, problems getting any real traction And then also we need to note that the Iranians have set up now a direct flights Thran T Yemen from Mahan U to son of the Satan Yeah Are they allowed to go over Saudi airspace or any of the Gulf air? Exactly the Saudis are really in a tough spot there because and the Gulf countries want want it stopped. Again, Wat, we need to remember they're in a hard place now because they need to accommodate Iran And I think that's why the Iranians are testing it because they see that, you know, they want to play, you know, that game where The Saudis and the Gulf countries you know get scared because the U. S. isn't protecting them. And then they want to push the boundaries even even further. And that that is what this this setup of direct flights T u to to Houothyand is is about Another thing to take into consideration is the Saudis are starting to make peace with the Houthis, by the way. because they got their ass kicked in Yemen and they couldn't get rid of them. So they're coming to the realization that the Houthie is not going anyway. Yeah, exactly. and the Islamic Republic isn't going anywhere. The only one that's going anywhere is the United States. So are going to San Kalas Yeah. Well, I'm going to give you guys. I don't have my big chart behind me until we get the high defef camera mounted over there where I can turn the camera around. You can see the big high deff chart. I will be using my iPhone as the high definition chart. This is Yemen as it's divided in the North in the old days, it was called North Yemen. and then there were South Yemen and there were two different Yemens, right? One was communist, one was less communist In in fact now this yellow zone is where the Houthis reign suupreme right there where that little tiny island is. let me not play with that anymore Wh where that little tiny, there's an island that I'm about to show you That is about where the port of Hodeda is. This is the Yemenis port. The hoth is there where that peninsula sticks out up there U Aiden is at the bottom And Aiden is on the recognized government of Yemen territory. And I think the Iranians are just making that a, let's just fly people there to make nice But the rest of the country there is is under the control of the recognized government of Yemen This is the rebellion zone And they, if you look down at the tippy tippy peeak That's where they shoot their missiles across the Bible and there was an attack on a ship off of Hudata yesterday by the Houthi rebels And this gives, of course This gives pause to merchant tankers that are going through the tiny, tiny, tiny Babel Mendab. Wway. Ag, another place I've been through where you can look to your right and look to your left. It it's a little wider than the Strait of Hormuz But it's narrow when you're talking about high speed boats and cruise missiles and drones, all right? It'll trap you right there to be hit. Yes But I'm u I I' Almost certain it it's Sana, the capital that the Houthis have conquered where the Iraan are endnding the Yeah because Yeah Yesterday want to push Yeah, exactly and they want to push So so this whole recognition thing of the whozsies et cetera. So yeah, that's what's. Well number one, how we're allowing that is is tells us something about this war. Also, you would have to I mean, the only way you could fly is like down the Chabahar in southern Iran and then cut down the easastern Arabian peninsula and loop up to Satana. I haven't been to Sana, I have been to Aiden But That's weird. Why would anyone who have allowed them to do that is beyond me. But they're not at war And it is Hyville. Tchnically, right? And somebody says Sana is still the capital, yes, technically. But You know, Iran doing that. They're not going to be bringing any weapon equipment or technological transfers there. This is a good will flight But it is a sign of won the thong. the Saudis could put an end to that. But then again The Saudis have flown over Yemen and gotten F fifteen shot out of the sky. So you know, things could go wrong on both ways or this could be a sign of easing tensions and goodwill. Let's hope it's easing tensions and goodwill so that the Hothies don't just go out and, you know Blast the u Blast the Babyelen God water awayay or starting like pushing the boundaries. It's pushing the boundaries because the Saudis are in a tough spot Thank you to to Match That plane is like one hundred and fifty of the Iranian clandestine service agents and their wives, right You're all going go deployment to Yemen. It's time to give the guys some advice. And a lot of people are underestimated goofies because there are a whole bunch of soldiers with flip flops and turbans on But a lot of people don't know is those Uthis were sent to Russia, those Uthis were sent to other countries to get trained by the Iranian government on how to use the latest technology to attack the United States They have anti ship missiles. they have anti plane missiles, they have, uh surface muscles. They have everything that you can think of They got rranged rooms. Yes. so the the larargest country weapons per capita is the United States and now and then after that is directly Yemen In Yemen, as a citizen, you can go out in the market and literally buy a tank If you have the money, but you can say it is born by donkeys M myies so that my donkey, yeah, you know where they got their money from Bunny. tell you about that Yemen honey. I was on Maro Nafael's show the other day and I talked about how one of the first indicators we had that called Gobal the global Islamic jihad at the time change or the global Islam ofijad JIG, GIJ was You know, the people who left the Afghan Arabs R who left Afghanistan and then moved to other parts of the world to execute a global, you know, Islamic Jihad Dawa, right callall to a war were concentrating in Yemen and Sudan And they left Afghanistan. And in Yemen, that is where Osama bin Laden, right? son, one of fifty two children of the bin Laden Kan centered in himself in Yemen and was buying up all the honey Farms Especially the dark rich honey that's as dark as your your fest, right Almost bl honey. cigar. It's called cigar. Y. Cigar. This is the Aphrodisiac honey is insanely popular to the Middle East Okay. I haven't been there in ten ten years And I have a jar of it down in my kitchen. It stays forever. Honey will last centuries, right? if properly stored. It could crystallize and come right back. This stuff when I bought it in Dubai at Global Village, I had had it in Yemen. and at the time, I didn't think anything of it But when I got to Gobal village in Dubai, there's this weekend fair that is always running, which every part of the world has little stands. The Yemen stand is nothing but spices and honey And I mean tons of it. And they selled honey the what they call the black dark honey, the Aphrodisia, theidon. They sell that stuff for hundreds of dollars per ounce. And they call it Yemeni Viagra Right? And of course you want to try to be as natural as possible. The prophet loved Honey bin Laden figured all this out and his major income From nineteen ninety one. to nineteen ninety seven was, not other than donations. What's honey He was in Yemen marketing honey. and then half of his forces moved to Sudan, where they set up, you know started creating medicines at the Shifa Chemical weapons Facility in Khartfom And we figured that shit out and we blasted the chemical weapons facility The Yemen Honey business It's been rumored that was put out of business by, you know, destroying his stocks So The point here is that the places you think that you're going to get sources of income from because of the way we think, right? money market. Oil tankers. stolen barrels of oil barrels of honey And when I told this to Mario, he lives in Dubai He was like, I got to go there. go Thursday night, get your ass over to Global Village, go to the Yemeni pavilion because you don't have enough money kind of honey that they sell there. He didn't believe it until he was like, o my go, yeah, I'm looking it up. Yes, it's true Yes, it's true. What is it? Safron from Iran And honey fromven, you want to put some money on the table, buddy. That stuff's expensive I' got both I got money and I that's what I'm from here on. You're not going be using those little blue pills. can I can sell by your feth that you're a traditionalist,. But you know that's the real witchcraft. No m That's the realp. Carolic Carolan Connor says Honey wasood used were embalming for centuries. It's also, by the way This is true. I have in my trauma kit A small vial of honey that I got out of a a foreign MRE. I think it might have been the Italian. MRE and I've kept it there for years and it crystallizes, but it's very good. But you also treat it for wounds It's a sterilizer for wounds too. You can put honey in there. And then the maggots come Megat st c. Anyway, so next So thank you. We had that update on Yemen. Yemen is getting salty. The Yemeni government claims that they had cashes clashes there yesterday, by the way, killing fifty houfies and only losing in twelve soldiers, which is another way of saying they lost fifty soldiers and twelve houfies stubbed their toes while walking up the mountains with all the weapons and equipment they got from the government because that's generally how it works. The Hillbillies don't lose numbers like fifty I want to oh, as long as we're talking about it, I had this to bring up about that Anybody noticed that The government of Yemen suddenly got all salty and carried out these operations Soon after the Houthie started attacking a tanker and threatening to close the Babel Mendab. I think there is American influence to play here that we are now using our advisers to advise to do things like now. considering that That would be them fighting a proxy, a U.S proxy fighting an Iranian proxy. At the same time, U. S. forces are supposed to be going to southern Lebanon. with the arrmy of Southern Lebanon. At the same time that we see that, what is it Iranian Kurds are being, you know, sort of rounded up and you know, non cooperative Kurds are being rounded up by the American backed Kurdish parties in Irbil. Coincidence takes a lot of planning, and those three coincidences sure look like a lot of planning to me So it just All of our proxies just happen to be doing stuff all at the same time. It ain't going work because we are not Iran. These people are co religionists They do this because they all share the same religion. We ain't gonna to do. They're not proxies. I have to say, they're not proxies religion followers ally just said that. Ismani. Oh, I'm talking to the people. I'm supporting you. I'm supporting you. Americans, the Americans are using proxies. Because they're not like us. We just give the money the st his mlla Kurds, the Shia in Yemen, Bahrain, Iraq, They are all religionists They do just because they believe in the same thing And it has always been a bad phrase to use proxy for them because it makes you sound like you can buy them. You can't buy these people Right? Even the Saudis can't buy that U someomebody it thank you. Linda Whedy reports that the U S is suspended search for the missing sailor who went down in an MH sixty seahawk the other day. That was a U.S. Navy helicopter off of the Abra the USS. George Herbert Walker Bush, crew of four You guys know when a helicopter lands in the water, it ain't easy. The crew is not allowed to get out of the helicopter until it hits the water Blades When it starts to roll over, the blades blow up, explode the water, the helicopter flips And then when it starts to sink That is when the crew unbuckles pututs their little auxiliary breathing apparatus in their mouth and get out of the egress from the helicopter. We have whole trainers for it Um Sometimes you do not unbuckle So that seeahawk went down and they said that they have suspended the search for him They will find it We are very, very good at finding under the oceans We'll send we'll bring m dollaners if the family Yeah. So in theory, that is the sixteenth person who has lost their lives may even be more. lost their lives during the phase of Operation Epic Freedom, but they claim Epic freedom is over Hell us. Okay, we're going to go to North Africa really quickly because there's an event that is occurring in the nation of Mali you all need to know about So I see if you could whip up a map of Molly for me. everver since Un I'm not in a place where I can go to maps now. It's I could. I just have to show it to you on my. Get my laptop in here tomorrow and then Jacob, have you ever been to Mali Yeah. I've been to Bamako. I've not been to Timbku or Gao but It's like a curse, isn't it? Every time we go to Mali, I couldn't make it to Timbk two Right. And here's the funny thing. I've been on both sides of that sign U If you go out to was as You know Waz in Eastern Morocco There's a sign that says what is it like one thousand kilometers to Tim Bktu. And it was a traditional camel trail through Morocco Down across Mauritanica to Timbark two and Timbark T is the top of the see if you can see this Yeah I got the map point. Do you have the map? Here's Molly here. Yeah, show us on your map. It's much better Tim Buk two is the top edge of the southern Sahara and was north of it is the northern edge. So what they mean is you are now entering the G Sand Sea, right? You are entering the great south of North Africa. and ain't nothing but camels and man sixteen realel trucks out there rolling across the desert. Although I did see a BMW Sedan that was brought down from Germany. That was there. It's famous. It got stuck there and it got brought out So Molly is having a Molly a few years ago rejected the French who had been supporting it, rejected the United States, who had been supporting their counter terror efforts that had been going on there since the twenty fifteen, I believe was twenty fifteen seizure of Timbku and Gao Bai ISIL It was was even a little bit before. It was even a little bit W it Was it before? Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah. Well Al Qaeda had a presence out there fver forever called Al Qaeda of the Islamic Magreb Q IM. And if you want to read about them, if you want a owner's manual for all these groups, just go get my old book from twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen called Defeating ISIS. It is a textbook of every ISIS group and an al Qaeda group that exists in the world, their maps, their leadership at that time. And the reason is still good is Very few of those leaders leave and those groups aren't and haven't been destroyed. even the one in Syria and Iraq still have presence now and are actually carrying out attacks in Syria But if you talk about the al Qaeda of the Islamic Magreb or the Islamic state of North Africa, or now there their new group JN IM, right? I think that's Jam Nusraal Magreb or something But it's the it's the offshoot that is very locally based on the Aswat which is the northern part of of of Mali. And that started to unravel with the Tarek rebellion ight after Saddam no Cn't get dashy was removed because a lot of his soldiers were of Malian origin and Bares and they migrated back. And they with every damn weapon they could carry Exact I was in I was in Libya when all the weapons stockpiles just open the doors and you could take anything you want, you could steal the trucks. you could drive across North Africa to back to. I'm going to bring maps out and show you the migration along the Niger, Algeria border, the huge swaths of desert that's there. You know, we could follow it And they came into North Mali and they started to create that that Islamist zone in all of North Mali. But that was actually a Tarek rebellion to liberate what they call Asawad Aswad Yeah. and they are still like the core of those different branches that we've seen. but they always come back and change names and it's like life of Lion. But Popular front for the liberation of Judea. The Judeian front for the liberation Is Eactly. So anyway, if you ever had a chance to read the Biladen paper, you would notice And the Biladen papers, thea in Africa has been trying to become a part of al Qa is part of the Taliban and Osama Bil Laden and there was a lot of drama because they didn't hold the exact values that the al Qaed and Osama bil Laden have And it seemed like almost like opening a franchise with someone that is just trying to take advantage of that name Just to put the c perspect. That was Trutil, the Algerian leader of AQIM. Ail Malk Drowell and And that a lot of trouble between these different branches back then So where all this really went to a head was in twenty twenty one A Malian general in all across North Africa. Let me step back A lot of these governments were being quietly undermined by Vladimir Putin and Russia did not help that the United Arab Emirates and Egypt started working with a militia a mercenary group called PMC Wagner who famously got wiped out in Ukraine and started and convinced them that they could take over parts of Libya that were being backed by the regular government and Turkey And this created this sort of proxy war that went there Let's long story short. PMC Wagner got wiped out. A lot of weapons and equipment flowed down into North Africa, but Russia went down there with Money They carried out two major coups first in twenty twenty one and in Mali. Where what's the name of the general? General Ismi Ismi Geta over he's not. He's a captain. He's an army captain He's just so out of do yeah Okay. Anway, that kid went down there. he promoted they always do this, right? Most settle for Colonel. He promoted himself to general went down there overthrew the government because they were the only men with guns and vehicles that had gasoline. That's how you do it Same thing for Mauritania or not Mauritania for Kina just. So in Niger They were just overthrowing them and then bringing in Russian mercenaries to back them. That ended all French and American counterterrorism operations in what's called the Islamic Sahel. That's the desert regions betweenorth the Mediterranean coast and the greening area heading down into Central Africa It opened it all up And what happened naturally was IsSIS and al Qaeda who infiltrate by saying, we will give you liberation through the Kuran And you are better Muslims than all other Muslims and you get to keep everything you kill, right? I took that from the Chronicles of Riddick, but in fact, that's exactly how they put it. And the Tarig rebels there who come from a group called the Azad Azwad Liberation Front, right? Jat al Tahir al Azuad, right are these Tarig rebels who are trying to carve out who Wistan in that area and Malcolm, what's a Tuatic? It is the native tribe that lived down in that sao who have dominated that place for millennia How do you identify it to Warick? Blue or tan headbands that take about thirty repraps to put around, especially this part. because I got I got one, I got two blue headbands took me days just to get it to balance on my hand And then they do the neckrap there. It's just crazy. That's how you tell it tootic All right. and There's two filors of Tard, right? If you're over in Libya, there's people that call Azraqini Right? These are more African ones And the reason they call them as Rakini is because they're so black, they come out blue. their skin shines like that, but these are the ones who are like These are the dark brownish, reddish ones be more in Sther Algeria, that whole area there and u These are not the ones in national Geographic, y'all. These are the ones who are now believe in Al Qaeda and IS's philosophy and the philosophy of cutting your head off Unfortunately for PMC Wagner, and that's where this story is going. There have been numerous major offensives by what is now JNIM. JNIM stands for Jabathan Nusra Islami Muslimon Right? The Nusra front of Islamic Muslims. That's Al araidah in North Africa now and and And they have joined with the AFL, right the Azad Liberation Front ALF the to now take on PMC Wagner Russian forces and wipe them out. Malcolm, this is fascinating. When' the last time the Russians got wiped out? A couple of months ago. Oh no, that's not true. Yesterday. Yesterday, A couple of months ago, they had a convoy wiped out where they just killed everyone to ait Yesterday they had a convoy wiped out where they just killed everyone to a metit. Then they found another convoy and they started attacking it and it went to a small town in the northeast called Aslen, I think its's name And could be there They are this is near Goa. They went into that and they are now surrounded like boujest. The problem is that AlLf, right, the Azwad Liberation and the al Qaeda slash ISIS people that are with them have learned how to fly drones And they are doing surveillance and dropping ordnance on these Russians who are now surrounded. And there's some awesome ad video. If you go on YouTube or Twitter and you put in ALF not Mali, you will see them get slaughtered. Their bodies are just laid out in rows right where they executed and searched all of them Things ain't good for Russia in Mali. Wow, Why do I care about this, Malcolm? Be this is what happens when you take the United States and France out and declare your liberation and you just take gold as your payment. The real bad guys show up. and they kill everyone. Less y over And just remember it's Gao G is in India I don't know how you guys really are do Jihad has been transformed with Ron's war U if you grew up between nineteen eighties or you've been around since nineteen eighties, nineteen nineties So twenty fifteen You would have seen A lot of suicide bombers and al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations would have to sit down with people, find younger kids Brainwashing. they had a whole fucking S st they had a whole team for recruiting people and convincing them to become suicide bombers. Now they don't need to convince nobody to become a suicide bomber. They just need to recruit a whole bunch of kids with put sandals. and put around them and in some sort of basement where they have access to high speed internet And they have access to some good laptops and stuff and they control these drones and do whatever the fuck they want. I talking Russians Americans, this because think about it, if you're al Qaed and you're losing your members so you can commit an attack You're losing assets, but at this point, you're not losing assets. You're just spending five hundred dollars on a piece of drone, one thousand dollars on a piece of drone And that says, buy byy it Russia, buy buy it America Mh Yes sink I have to tell you, this is this is This is something. by the way, somebody says we have to learn to stick to an hour. Did he miss the memo that we were going to go longong? U and people want us to go two hours today, by the way. But we're going to get around to your questions. But you're right. drrones have revolutionized all warfare and flying down there to And if somebody says, you're right, I was thinking about Gao India Go, gooa, India. Which is a nice place. if you should get to right.a Gao is not that charming. Gao is not that charermming. Okay. All right guys, let's go to the questions My understanding, Lynn says, my understanding is that Iran made a deal with a neighboring country to grease oil outflow through existing pipes to that country is the current situation with that process I don't know if there are oil pipelines going from Iran to other countries. The biggest thing I saw was when Pakistan opened all six border posts to allow Hundreds upon hundreds of oil tankers coming in and bring it straight to Karach. Nically now it would take thousandousands of those tankers to be the equivalent of one oil tanker coming through, but I don't think that the pipeline that you might be thinking of is the one that Iran was trying to put online. to take the pressure off of the Card Island oil field and bring it to bunkering all around the country and that it had been offline for a long time But you know, Iran's going to take that how many hundreds of billions of dollars? No actually, they're going to be building. If I were Iran, I would be building the great Underground oil oil storage. I would get those big Chinese boring machines and I would be like you know, like u what is what do they call those uh The worms in dune, right? I would be not too great. They can get it c wors Yeah, they can get it through the Chinese build and ro rooad initiative The Chinese will love it Yeah. Okay. Theyre using also rails, like trains to transfer that oil to Pakistan. So if you were thinking about a line that was you're thinking about that rail. They did say that they were bringing back also an old rail line Again, if I were run, I'd take I'd say, hey, I'm going to borrow fifty billion of that. And we're gonna build entire cities's oil fields. storage facilities, I would put fiveive billion barrels of oil underground under mountains. in giant concrete storage facilities that the United States couldn't get to. And even if a bomb got through It'd be like throwing a bullet into a mud pit or shooting a bullet into a swamp Right? There's nothing you could do about it. But then again on't believe me The Iranians will follow up with that. So moving on questestions or wishes for your views. We're not going to talk about the nationalists in Washington. I do have to start shifting when this war starts spiraling down. And we are already starting to try to go back to a global format I really do want to do a political show because as you know G've got five New York Times bestest sellers. Four of them are about Donald Trump and what he's doing in the United States. And people want to know my opinion about those things U Jacob Karvo is Holland An alien, a robot, both or just an incredible striker football player He's he's a h He's a Norwegian hulk Dont. Norwegian Hulk. G ahe You're welcome. No w way Yeah I haven't been following that That's Holland. Yeah. Yeah There' that the guy with the long hair Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah So he's a hulk Okay, I just want to also point out that someone has sent a picture of their coffee cup with. That looks like that looks like D the dog from the movie up Yeah That's great. He says, you are my new master. I have just met you and I love you One of my favorite movies. Win W's movie Right? We love that movie Uh so everybody Alling all the coffee cuuffps. You guys can get that in there. There are people making a lot of comments. ye, y our I love that this guy who's harassing me on there paid me this privilege, please do it at seventy dollars a year or seven dollars a month, but you have to pay for the year first. All right. We are getting to the end of that, Molly. We answered a lot of questions here today. U this That was Michael. you said that we need to be more disciplined in sticking to an hour. and we did We just the questions now Regarding Waji's comment about drones, when is drone warfare terrorism and when is it legitimate warfare Somebody did mention that I wrote a book called The terrorist Recognition Handbook It is in its third edition. It is about ten years out of date, but guess what's in there drone warfare When you use a to vehicle? which is an aerial bombardment vehicle or an aerial suicide device, whether there's a person in it or it is remotely connected, and you use it for the purposes of an act of terrorism, an act of violence in which the victims are not. The audience of the imedate the immediate victims are not the audience for which the attack was intended. And you kill or use violence in that method with a drone then it is an act of terrorism If you are an authorized military force and you use a drone, that's warfare So if you are Joe Blow and you put a hand grenade onto a DJI drone, you fly to a, I don't know, a data center in the United States. and you drop a bomb down one of the gas generators and it blows up, starts a fire and destroys the entire place, that's an act of terrorism becausecause you consciously make that choice. Yes, Jacob I will say, Malcolm, we're living in new times now because now you have state actors that go to war without declaring war And that right, you know, that puts us into a gray zone And state bners Putin has done it. Trump has done it et cceter. so so u So terrorism that that falls under terrorism. We've just allowed it the term of asymmetric warfare. I said this on British television once and it generated a lot of heat because it was on their big biggest chat show where I said, you were attacked with weapons of mass destruction and you chose to ignore that it killed your own citizen Right The guy used screep killing. They bought the most lethal chemical weapon on this planet. England used it. It didn't kill the intended target. It killed other victims. Now, granted, that technically was assassination. Yes, EG, My books are available for purchase. You can get them from McMillan Uh and You know, It was used for its intended purpose. But when they disposed of a chemical weapon system right? Other people found it and died fromr exposure to that chemical weap and the most lethal chemical on the planet, right at the time That's a terrorist attack against another nation. It cannot be construed as a military attack No There you go with regards to that. That was For you, Okaykay, last question. Where did my substack go U We were almost at the bottom of the question is there a lot of commentary Lot of funny business going on there. You guys feel free to go on there and guys down You know, the whole point is of having a show is to inform people And we have a bunch of chuckle hoods But that's okay because I have great, great followers U Well, no, the last one was a comment, not a question What movie was Malfolin referring to as for Widows There's only two awesome literr movies Okay, and sleepless in Seattle All the others are guys mass murdering people, like John Wick We don't appreciate. That is not a good therapy movie for widowers Okay, the movie up is And the movies Sleep List and Yeah, two best whor movies that ever been made.
