The New American

Joseph L. Bast is known for his work “discovering, developing and promoting free-market solutions to social and economic problems.” As founder of The Heartland Institute, he led that powerhouse until retirement in 2018. But as many have discovered before him, retirement doesn’t necessarily mean rest. He has since added to his impressive curriculum vitae the titles of cofounder and content manager for the Wisconsin Patriot’s Toolbox, a website providing tools for effective political action. His new activism evinces his transition from “policy to politics,” as he describes it, driven by a realization that the social and political problems we face are driven not so much by ideas as by devious people, who have infiltrated and destroyed our traditional institutions. Bast believes we must focus on removing the infiltrators rather than debating them on subjects (like climate change) in which they are already aware their arguments have no merit. Bast also serves on the boards or steering committees of the Liberty Alliance of Wisconsin, Northeast Wisconsin Patriots, and Wisconsin Conservative Coalition. A celebrated publisher/author in conservative and libertarian circles, he has also recently edited “Hot Talk, Cold Science II” with the late S. Fred Singer, and “Climate Change: What They Rarely Teach in College” with Steve Einhorn. He also coauthored and edited the latest volume in the “Climate Change Reconsidered” reports of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change.

Europe’s largest circulation newspaper, Germany’s Bild, obtained German military documents saying that a war between Russia and NATO could erupt as soon as next month. The document also warns that Germany needs to be war-ready.

Marly Hornik founded United Sovereign Americans (USA) after her team of volunteers in the New York Citizens Audit found massive irregularities in state voter rolls, discrepancies in the vote count, suspected illegal editing of vote records and indications of apparent algorithmic manipulation of the voter rolls. “The Constitutional right of citizens to choose our representatives freely guarantees that our government upholds our will and serves by our consent,” notes the USA press kit. “Our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are secured by the law. Multiple laws regarding elections that have been enacted since 1923 include: the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993, and the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 among others.” Hornik says that when the New York Citizens Audit discovered the extent of apparent violations, she was inspired to initiate similar audits in other states. USA’s mission is to “have elections that follow the law, but holding election officials accountable for their actions.” Hornik vows to expose those who refuse to follow election laws and “if necessary, take them to court.” USA is a 100% nationwide volunteer organization that includes PhDs, mathematicians, programmers, election experts and devoted Americans.

Communists and "robber baron" super capitalists teamed up to destroy free America using the government school system to turn young Americans against God, country, and family, explains The New American magazine's Alex Newman in this episode of Behind The Deep State. From the very hatching of the idea that government should educate children to the establishment of the system that exists today, primary-source documents prove the evil agenda. Key figures such as Robert Owen, Horace Mann, and John Dewey are all exposed here, along with the support from the Rockefeller dynasty and others.

The Texas National Guard took over a border sector in Eagle Pass and kicked out Border Patrol agents as part of an effort to control the border crisis. Meanwhile, in Congress, some lawmakers are scheming to pass an amnesty bill. Other stories included in today’s show: @ 11:45 | In another round of military escalation, U.S.-led forces hit Houthi bases in Yemen over the weekend; @ 23:17 | Taiwan just elected William Lai (Lai Ching-te) — someone not approved by China — as president; @ 33:05 | Anti-Agenda 2030 legislation just became law in Tennessee.

As the globalist elites of the World Economic Forum and their lackeys in the national and local governments work to transform the socioeconomic system of America to concentrate finances, power and control in their hands, the John Birch Society (JBS) works tirelessly to expose these agendas and educate people on the importance of personal liberties, limited government, and individual responsibility. Fostering these values is critically important in turbulent times when disruptive events might be triggered to ensue chaos and unrest. In this interview with The New American, Matthew Rhodes, a regional JBS field coordinator for New England, discusses the methods by which the WEF and its aligned entities implement the Great Reset. It all starts with the perpetrators “showing up with a bag of money,” luring and bribing local officials into agreements on building infrastructure of a control grid. Simultaneously, well-intended people are psychologically manipulated into accepting the false narratives. Luckily, the well-structured and strategic day-to-day work of the JBS members is yielding productive results in deprogramming people and opening up their hearts and minds to the values of American Constitutionalism and morality. Mr. Rhodes also offered valuable advice on approaches to scrutinizing political candidates during elections and beyond, as well as navigating through potential social and political calamities in 2024.

Another term like this will likely plunge this nation into its darkest period ever. We discuss the upcoming Iowa caucus and more. In the second half of the show, we discuss the combustible situation in the east between China and Taiwan.

There are eerie parallels between the behavior of the U.S. government today and the tactics used by the mass-murdering Soviet regime to keep its victims in check, explains author, Russia expert and former missionary to Russia Julie Behling in this interview with The New American magazine's Alex Newman. From the use of infiltration into Christian movements to outright terror against certain sects, there is a method to the madness. "They are sending a message: this is what happens if you defy the government," she said, comparing it to how certain slaves were mercilessly beaten to intimidate the rest. Behling has a new documentary movie called "Beneath Sheep's Clothing" exposing all of this and more featuring Trevor Loudon, Dr. James Lindsay, and more.

A Yale law professor is advising that the Supreme Court rule against Donald Trump in the Colorado ballot case — not because it’s the constitutional thing to do, but to avoid a “grave crisis.” Paul Kahn implies that keeping Trump off some state ballots would prevent his reelection and therefore a host of other crises that would arise should he win. TNA’s Joe Wolverton, J.D., weighs in on Kahn’s analysis. Other stories included in this episode: @ 11:47 | Anti-Trump Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis may be more corrupt than previously known. She’s now attracting attention thanks to a lawsuit claiming that she improperly hired a romantic partner to help prosecute the case; @ 22:43 | Dr. Anthony Fauci seems to have developed amnesia, as evidenced by the number of times he said he “did not recall” when asked Covid-related questions; @ 33:00 | John Birch Society CEO Bill Hahn discusses why, in this time of such blatant corruption, it’s even more important that we support our local police and keep them independent.

On Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson, together with Senate leaders, announced a new $1.59 trillion spending bill aimed at avoiding a looming government shutdown. Contrary to everything House GOP firebrands have been promising, the measure does nothing to address the ongoing chaos on the southern border. We discuss the official reasons Republicans are agreeing to this deal and if it’s become apparent that Johnson is no different than ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Other stories included in this show: @ 11:50 | Jeffrey Epstein’s brother went from believing the official story that his brother committed suicide to realizing that the government killed his brother. @ 22:18 | The Biden White House has been bragging about the latest surprisingly good jobs report, but — as with all things this administration says — the truth is not what we’re told it is. @ 32:52 | TNA Senior Editor Rebecca Terrell joins us to discuss how the people of South Dakota announced before the beginning of the 2024 legislative session the measures they’re determined to pass in order to preserve their property rights.

The destruction of the U.S. border and the ongoing invasion of millions of fighting-age men into the United States is a deliberate ploy by the Deep State to destroy America on the road to world order, explains The New American magazine's Alex Newman in this episode of Behind The Deep State. Alex also breaks down the ongoing battles in Congress to use the funding process to shut down the invasion and the real agendas behind this.

Emerging trend of inoculating food animals with mRNA vaccines, fueled by significant investments from major corporations and governments, could have dire consequences for both animal and human health, as well as the food supply, warns physician and medical researcher Dr. William Makis. In this interview withThe New American, Dr. Makis discusses the mechanisms and risks associated with both conventional and newer self-amplifying mRNA vaccines. He highlights the possibility of animals experiencing similar adverse effects as humans, such as cancers, blood clots, myocarditis, reproductive issues, and neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Makis points out the potential threat of the prion, or protein misfolding, disorders, like Mad cow disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which could infect humans through consumption of contaminated meat or milk. He also expresses concern about the risk of DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines, which could integrate into the genomes of animals and humans and criticizes the lack of open discussion in medical circles about these and many other pressing issues, as mRNA vaccines have become a nearly sacred subject not to be questioned. Dr. Makis questions the justification for such risks, pointing to the financial motives of pharmaceutical companies and propagation of narratives on unexplained emergent biological threats to livestock. It may be argued that the covert biowarfare projects might result in the mass infection and vaccination of cattle, followed by widespread slaughter due to mRNA vaccines’ side effects. This scenario logically links to global agendas aimed at reducing meat consumption and promoting alternatives like insects and cultivated meat. The importance of supporting local farmers and opposing these agendas cannot be overstated, said the researcher. Dr. William Makis is a Canadian physician with extensive expertise in radiology, oncology, and immunology, the author of over 100 peer-reviewed medical publications, and abest-selling author on Substack. Dr. Makis is onX (Twitter).

With every passing year, we learn more horrific details about J6 supporting the claim that the violence that erupted was plotted by people within the highest level of government. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) and his office have investigated the incident extensively, and he believes the chaos was the result of a 10-month conspiracy designed to destroy the MAGA movement. In this episode, TNA senior editor Rebecca Terrell discusses her interview with J6’er Kelly Meggs, whom she visited in federal prison. Other topics covered: @ 11:28 | The Deep State — the “government within the government” — had more than 200 FBI assets on the ground on J6; @ 22:21 | TNA’s renowned investigative journalist William F. Jasper discusses how the DOJ is broadening its attack on MAGA Americans; @ 32:15 | Americans can push back with legal and effective means to ensure that those subverting the United States and conspiring against the American people are brought to justice.

The United Nations "climate" agreement reached at the COP28 in Dubai represents a "psychotic" and "anti-human" scheme that is a break from reality, but the danger of the merging "climate" hysteria with health and medical power grabs is a real threat, warned ClimateDepot.com Editor Marc Morano in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine's Alex Newman. Morano, who has attended 18 of the last 20 UN climate summits, said that UN climate alarmists are happy about Biden's commitments to shut down most U.S. electrical power generation. Huge land grabs and much more is on the agenda, too. In the second segment, Morano explains how Americans can work to stop this—and why it is so essential.

Congress must hold the Biden administration accountable for its Covid policies, the weaponization of government against political enemies, and the cataclysm taking place at the border, explained U.S. Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman. The Biden administration has "lost" over 85,000 children, she explained. The border is such a mess that there are now more migrants flooding into the United States than American babies being born. And some of these people coming across the border will no doubt perpetrate terrorist attacks and more, she warned. Democrats are hoping for the votes. But the consequences will be disastrous for America, she said. January and the funding debates in Congress will be the one leverage point lawmakers have to hold Biden accountable and get the border under control. Biden wants more money to process migrants faster. So now there will be a game of "chicken," she said. Rep. Cammack also blasted the administration's "climate" policies for undermining U.S. energy and the economy will Communist China keeps building coal-fired power plants. Speaking on legislation to evict the United Nations, the congresswoman blasted the UN, saying the relationship with the United States needed to be reevaluated and that the organization should be defunded. On weaponization of government, she slammed the Biden administration and Big Tech. Incredibly, even foreign governments were involved in censoring Americans online, she said. Congress must reclaim its powers from the executive and rein in "activist judges," added Cammack.
