‘Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population – behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach.’ Buy me a Coffee page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness Subscription option: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB Email: deepstateconsciousness@gmail.com Christian Aid Gaza Appeal: https://www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/emergencies/middle-east-crisis-appeal Track: Walk it Off - Jae Ren Music provided by Verde Música Studio Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2l-97PH5R8 Notes The Iron Wall and The Ethics of the Iron Wall, by Vladamir Jabotinsky: http://www.mideastweb.org/ironwall.htm Jabotinsky: A Life, by Hillel Halkin: http://tinyurl.com/eft8ah4c

Just over a hundred years ago, this situation ultimately and perhaps inevitably turned to violence. The situation we are witnessing right now, whilst representing a dramatic escalation, is merely the continuation of a cycle of violence that began in the 1920s.

The mere sixty seven words of the Balfour Declaration set in action the chain of events that led to the creation of the State of Israel thirty years later, and ultimately to the violence we are seeing in Gaza today. The question is why. Why, in the midst of a war, would the British Government take the time to promise a fringe group within the Jewish community to support their aspirations for a ‘homeland’ in Palestine?

The idea that the Jewish people should or would be restored to their homeland is not present in Christianity for its first fifteen hundred years. Both the Catholic and Orthodox churches saw the church itself as being a spiritual Israel, and that Jesus Christ had extended God’s covenant with the Jews to all people. This changed after the Reformation, when the Bible was translated and people started interpreting it in all sorts of idiosyncratic ways.

The term Carthaginian Peace comes from Rome’s sacking of the city of Carthage, where they supposedly poured salt onto the land to ensure the North African city could never rise again. It was applied to the peace settlement with the German’s by economist John Maynard Keynes. In spite of popular adherence, it is a view that many prominent historians consider to be a myth.

The book is called Doppelganger, because Naomi Klein considers Naomi Wolf to be hers. Apparently these two ladies are often conflated, but whereas Klein broadly supports government COVID policies, Wolf couldn’t be more opposed to them, seeing them as part of a nefarious plot to do away with civil liberties and introduce a bio-fascist regime. Klein considers Wolf to be in ‘open warfare against objective reality.’ Endnotes for this show are available here: https://open.substack.com/pub/deepstateconsciousness/p/the-other-naomi-a-review-of-naomis?r=qmo44&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Naomi Klein’s book, Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World, is available here: https://naomiklein.org/doppelganger/ Naomi Wolf’s writing and wider work is available here: https://dailyclout.io/ To support the show and for access to the forum: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB Buy me a Coffee page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness

It’s a high bar, but the vaccination program was possibly the most contentious aspect of the whole COVID-19 era. Lockdowns inevitably end, masks can be taken off, but being compelled to have something injected into one’s body—for many people this was an affront too far. For others, the refusal of a seeming minority to embrace science and undergo a demonstrably safe, effective and minor medical procedure, spoke to a selfish ignorance in that portion of the population. A tension was established, from which a certain divisive nastiness was birthed. Read the full report at: https://www.deepstateconsciousness.com/measuring-the-mandates

Professor Richard Spence is the author of Wall Street and the Russian Revolution. I invited him on to help me sift through the realities and fantasies of the different claims made for US backing of the Bolsheviks - as well as their involvement in the wider Revolution. Professor Spence also discusses the ambiguities of history, and what conspiracy theorists tend to get right and wrong. See Professor Spence’s book, Wall Street and the Russian Revolution, here: https://tinyurl.com/2a8evk69

In addition to the anti-communist crusade, the Russian Revolution also gave rise to anti-communist conspiracy theories. At their most extreme, these posited that dark elements within the US Government secretly supported the rise of communism and even facilitated the Bolsheviks coming to power. In attempting to understand the nature of the Empire, what are we to make of such claims? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness https://www.deepstateconsciousness.com/podcast Notes: Conspiracy Theories: The Bolshevik Revolution, podcast by Tom Secker: https://www.spyculture.com/clandestime-episode-004-conspiracy-theories-the-bolshevik-revolution/ Killing Hope, by William Blum: https://williamblum.org/books/killing-hope Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, by Anthony Sutton: https://archive.org/details/WallStreetTheBolshevikRevolution Interview with Anthony Sutton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVfbbebIBCA Russia and the Soviet Union, by Ralph Raico: https://tinyurl.com/mrxn365d Splendid Isolation?: Britain, the Balance of Power and the Origins of the First World War, by John Charmley: https://tinyurl.com/ybzs6e2t Wall Street and the Russian Revolution, by Richard Spence: https://tinyurl.com/2a8evk69 Prolonging the Agony: How the Anglo-American Establishment Deliberately Extended WWI by Three-And-A-Half Years, by Jim MacGregor and Gerry Docherty: https://tinyurl.com/b7d9dzfr For a summary of Jüri Lina’s work see, Do Americans Face a Red Terror?, by James Perloff: https://jamesperloff.com/tag/russian-revolution/ A People's History of the Russian Revolution, by Neil Faulkner: https://tinyurl.com/sd3kzkct Article on General Maurice Janin https://pandorinaskrinka.sk/general-maurice-janin-saved-the-legionnaires-in-siberia-but-died-in-oblivion-part-one/ Trotsky in New York, 1917: A Radical on the Eve of Revolution, by Kenneth D.

The consequences of lockdowns were as brutal as they were predictable. The United Nations warned of ‘multiple famines of biblical proportions’, that would kill ‘hundreds of thousands of children’, whilst Oxfam cautioned that ‘the economic crisis is potentially going to be even more severe than the health crisis’, moving half a billion people into poverty. How could this be justified? Only through the claim that lockdowns would save more lives than they cost. Absent evidence, this is simply a gamble, so was it a gamble that paid off?

Today’s guest, Gem, runs the YouTube channel, Humans of Earth, where he engages with Flat Earth arguments and Apollo Moon landing cynics. On the latter topic, he has produced two substantial documentaries: one presenting the positive evidence for the landings, and another aiming to debunk Bart Sibrel’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon. This is what I principally drew upon to form my critical questions when I recently interviewed Mr. Sibrel. Gem agreed to come on and tell me what he thought of that interview, as well as balance this series out by presenting a positive case why we definitely went to the Moon. You can find his documentaries, along with all his other work, here: https://www.youtube.com/@Gempanda2012/videos

Today’s returning guest, Daniel Thompson-Mills, spent decades in the environmental movement. Events of recent years caused Daniel to reevaluate some of his core beliefs, a process that ultimately led to his authoring the book: The Case Against Man Made Climate Change. In this interview I focus on asking Daniel how this dramatic cognitive shift came about, why certain facts had previously been invisible to him, and how his change has been received by the people around him.

As a CIA Intelligence Officer, Dr. Michael Scheuer ran the Agency's Osama Bin Laden Tracking Unit, known as Alec Station, from 1996 to 99. In the years after the September 11th attacks, Dr. Scheuer became famous for many of his views on US Foreign policy and criticised the Clinton and Bush regimes for failing to assassinate Bin laden when they had the chance. This interview was shocking to both myself and my co-host Adam Fitzgerald, as Dr. Scheuer entertains the possibility that the 9/11 were assisted from inside the US Government, and ‘inside job’, but rejects the common position that the CIA’s Alec Station played a pivotal role in this, by withholding information on the hijackers from the FBI. Neither of us currently know what to make of this. Dr. Scheuer’s writing and podcast can be found at: https://www.non-intervention2.com/about/

When compared to the controversies of excess deaths, accusations of manslaughter, life changing vaccine injuries and the inhumanity of lockdowns, the issue of mask mandates may seem like a relative triviality. If they helped ‘stop the spread’ then great, and if not—what did we really lose by trying? The deeper question raised by mandates however, is at what point is it acceptable for one group of people to impose medical interventions upon others? Is it after a certain amount of scientific evidence of efficacy has accumulated? Is it when a certain level of popular consent is attained? Can it only be done after a thorough study of potential harms? And what about the very nature of mandates, to what extent do any unintended and adverse effects of mandating behaviour need to be taken into account? This raises the further question: if mandates turn out to have a counterproductive or even harmful effect, what sanction should fall upon those who imposed them?

Simon Bown is a past life regression therapist and host of the Past Lives Podcast, where he investigates all sorts of evidence for survival of the human soul. Having produce two episodes in the ‘A Question of Memory Series’, where I basically concluded there was little evidence to believe hypnotic regression could reliably be used to recover memories, I thought it would be good to have someone on to challenge that position - and who better than a guest who employs such techniques to recover memories from different lives altogether! In this interview I ask Simon about the therapeutic benefits he sees in his work, and why he feels these are not best explained as just ‘theatre of the mind’. We then get into whether there are any dangers in conflating fantasy and reality, and finally what the metaphysical implications of all this are.

Mansoor Adayfi was held without charge in Guantanamo Bay for over fourteen years. This was in spite of the fact that early on it was apparent he had no connection to Al Qaeda, and had essentially been sold to the CIA for a bounty. In this interview, Adam Fitzgerld and I ask Mansoor about his experience in the camps, what their real purpose was and how his faith helped him maintain his humanity for all those years. We also ask about his recently publicised encounters with Florida governor Ron DeSantis. Released to Serbia in 2016, Mansoor now writes, creates art and advocates for the men who remain at Guantanamo. In 2021 he published his memoir, ‘Don’t Forget Us Here’.

Bill Rice Jr is a professional journalist, whose frustration with the COVID narrative led him to break free and ply his trade on Substack. His regular newsletter now attracts thousands of readers. I came across Bill’s work when preparing the Measuring the Mandates report, as he has specialised in documenting the evidence for early spread of the virus. Although we’d approached this question from different angles, we’d both realised the implications of this: that COVID couldn’t be the thing driving the excess mortality. This is the biggest scandal of our time. In this interview I ask Bill all about that. We also discuss some of his writing and insights into how ‘The Narrative’ insulates and protects itself, and what we can do to break through.

Zandra Lewis was a registered nurse and Director of Abbotswood Nursing Home on the Isle of Man at the time the COVID-19 pandemic was announced. In this interview Mrs. Lewis gives her account of what happened when the Island’s government took direct control of Abbotswood, during the early part of the COVID era. Whilst this situation is, as far as I’m aware, unique, it gives insight into practices that were common across Britain and the wider world - those of end of life pathways, denial of food and water and use of respiratory suppressant drugs like midazolam. Zandra’s account is featured in the Measuring the Mandates book, freely available here: https://www.deepstateconsciousness.com/measuring-the-mandates
