🚨MONDAY: THE MOST HEATED GOING UNDERGROUND EPISODE OF ALL TIME

On Monday's episode, Afshin Rattansi clashes with CIA Directorate of Intelligence veteran Prof. Melvin Goodman on USAID, Gaza, Trump's cabinet picks and much more. Here's just a snippet of their clash on Obama's and Biden's record, and what Prof. Goodman has to say on Trump's plans for an arms control agreement with Russia🇷🇺 and China🇨🇳:

'Trump is opposed to reliance on nuclear weaponry, but I don't think he has the patience to work out an arms control position...Trump isn't prepared to do that kind of work. He has no arms control advisors, he has no arms control staff.'

'The fact that these three nuclear powers are modernising as we are, or expanding the way that China is, or threatening to put nuclear weapons in space the way Putin is, is why the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight.'

ICYMI: ‘Give us $250 billion which are here in Europe in frozen Russian assets.’

-Zelensky

The begging never stops for money to fuel the pointless slaughter of his own people, for the failed project of the Biden-Harris regime in Washington that is no longer in power

‘Everyone says Gaza is the largest open air prison in the world, not because of us.’

-Benjamin Netanyahu

Gaza has been put under a constant state of siege by Israel after the ‘withdrawal’ in 2005

Israel even controlled how many calories on average Palestinians in Gaza would eat

Israeli officials told US officials that they wanted to keep Gaza’s economy “on the brink of collapse” while avoiding a humanitarian crisis as revealed by Wikileaks

Israel has carried out a genocide after multiple rounds of mass slaughter before 2023

The list goes on

Most of the world says Gaza is the world’s largest open-air prison entirely because of Israel

🚨CIA VETERAN PROF. MELVIN GOODMAN:

'Donald Trump supports the worst of Israeli policy and this idea of taking over Gaza with no US soldiers involved, which means the Israeli Defence Forces which have been conducting a year and a half of genocidal campaign, will be in a position to do what they want in Gaza, and while he's distracting us with that, the Israelis are playing ethnic cleansing operations in the West Bank...'

'This was a real estate deal from the beginning, if you look at Trump, real estate billionaire. Jared Kushner, real estate millionaire. If you look at the Trump's Ambassador to Israel in his first term, David Friedman, real estate millionaire. If you look at the special envoy Witkoff, real estate billionaire.'

-CIA Directorate of Intelligence veteran Prof. Melvin Goodman on Going Underground in a heated interview with Afshin Rattansi

🚨🇪🇺🇺🇸Munich Security Council Chairman Christoph Heusgen CRIES about the US-Europe ‘common values base’ is not that common anymore before praising Zelensky…

Europe has been utterly humiliated. After submitting itself to be a vassal of the United States, paying the economic price of Washington’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine, and Germany facing deindustrialisation after losing the Nord Stream pipelines…

Europe is left out in the cold as predicted, with Washington sidelining the warhawks of Europe who advocate for continuing a war against their own interests, to pursue a peace deal with Moscow to end the proxy war in Ukraine.

Trump appears to find Europe’s political establishment tiresome and insufferable. Europe has made an enemy out of Russia, and has continuously antagonised China.

In the multipolar world, Europe finds itself completely directionless and lost; the direct result of bending the knee and becoming nothing but a vassal of Washington.

🚨🇬🇧🇷🇺🇺🇦 In 2024, the total size of the British Armed Forces (all branches) was only 148,230 personnel. With 56% being in the army.

In 2023/2024, 4430 more personnel left the armed forces than joined it.

In September 2024, Putin ordered the size of the Russian army to be increased by 180,000 to 1.5 million active duty servicemen, and the total size of the Russian Armed Forces to be increased to 2.38 million personnel.

14.3 million people are in poverty in the UK, which is 21% of the population.

3 in every 10 children in the UK live in poverty.

Living standards in the UK are declining.

Why is Sir Keir Starmer risking conflict with Russia🇷🇺 over a failed proxy war in Ukraine when:

1. Britain’s Armed Forces stand no chance against Russia

2. The UK has so many people struggling in poverty?

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺ICYMI: Zelensky- ‘The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100%’

No claim is ridiculous enough for Zelensky to make to convince the US, UK and EU to continue giving him money for the failed proxy war, to keep him in power.

Russia has a red line of Ukraine must not join NATO, that is the basis of the entire conflict. Even the most amateur geopolitical observer knows that Vladimir Putin has no interest in an apocalyptic war against NATO. There is nothing to be gained from World War 3.

Roger Waters at the UN Security Council says ‘of course’ the Ukraine proxy war could have been avoided through diplomacy.

The US🇺🇸 under Biden and previous administrations trampled on Russia’s national security interests, and then crossed the red line on Ukraine…and refused to walk back.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Fight Washington’s proxy war against Russia to the last Ukrainian

Torpedo negotiations with Russia to retain your pre-2022 territory because Washington ordered you to

Lose a generation of Ukrainians

What do you get in return?

Washington demanding a higher share of Ukraine’s GDP than Germany’s WW1 reparations as a reward for pushing you to fight the proxy war in the first place.

Zelensky will be remembered as the man who fought Washington’s orders, destroyed the country, and then was forced to sell off the country to Washington.

Another one for the history books; why submitting your country to be a vassal of the United States is fatal.

On this day in 1957, one of the Mau Mau uprising’s leaders Dedan Kimathi was executed by Britain.

The Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1960) began due to widespread anger among the Kikuyu people in Kenya over land dispossession, economic hardship, and political oppression under British colonial rule.

Africans faced daily humiliation via restricted land access, forced labor, and lack of political representation. The movement sought to reclaim land, resist colonial exploitation, and fight for Kenyan independence.

Dedan Kimathi was instrumental in organising the militarised resistance of the Mau Mau rebellion, which was responded to by fierce repression by Britain. Members of the Kikuyu tribe were detained in concentration camps.
Survivors allege mass torture and sexual assault by British soldiers.

An estimated 90,000 people were killed, injured, or tortured by the British. 1090 people were officially executed by the British; the largest mass execution campaign in British colonial history.

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was asked if Ukraine could join the European Union:

His answer: ‘This is the sovereign right of any country, we are not going to dictate.’

This conflict has always been about the Russian red line of Ukraine must not be allowed to join NATO.

Russia has been invaded through Ukraine through multiple times in its history. The US and its NATO vassals repeatedly rubbished Russia’s national security interests, the proxy war was the result.
