I really like Paul Jay easy going style but never afraid to ask tough questions.....good work Paul & Team. Greetings from London

[@beesmonk]

Couldn't agree with you more, greetings from Manchester, UK

[@dantaniondb]

Ian Right back at you from Central New York State...TRNN (and Paul Jay, in particular) brings the heat. Wilkerson informs the listener having the advantage of an insider's experience and understanding of geopolitics as we will never see/hear from corporate news sources.

[@amania9254]

This is what we need from our Journalists and politicians, so much respect to Both of these great people, Paul and Wilkerson. Thanks for the Real Journalism. Salute

[@hipocampelofantocame]

Col. Wilkerson is an actual resource and a pleasure to listen to.

Regarding war-mongers in legislature: "They're not intellectual giants"

[@blainedarian9757]

I guess I am kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch new series online ?

[@terrencesantino2261]

@Blaine Darian Try Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@zainnicholas4458]

@Terrence Santino Yea, have been watching on FlixZone for months myself =)

[@blainedarian9757]

@Terrence Santino Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!!

[@terrencesantino2261]

@Blaine Darian you are welcome :)

[@gyro4250]

This video was demonetized and obfuscated. My autoplay doesnt even show the second part like it does for every other channel that post multiple episode videos. Take this entire interview to be fact. The machine doesnt want you to see it.

[@rebeccajohnson8579]

John playing around, if you type in "REALITY ASSERTS ITSELF" and the name of this video, then you will get at least 2 of the 3. The 3rd one is down below, but under a different title. GOOD LUCK!

[@gerardrobert758]

After every trn video i watch a cnn video autoplays like wtf I never watch cnn

[@StephenKuehn]

TRNN posts each of its RAIs as separate playlists in their channel as well as all the RAIs in one playlist. But yes YT is garbaging the algorithms in favour of reactionary-liberal-establishment narratives.

[@gyro4250]

The humorous part is that autoplay suggested some channel called 'gulf news' with a topic of emojis that people dont like. I have the feeling that a channel with such an important sounding name and banal topics only exists for the purpose of drawing people away from radical thoughts like 'why are we going to war?"

[@judymeyer4315]

Same thing for me. WTF!

[@mysteriomartinez8239]

David Ben Gurion told JFK: "Give us control of your foreign policy."

[@VickiNikolaidis]

He doesn't "subscribe to conspiracy theory, normally" because to him they are not secrets, he sees and hears what we can't. I find his interviews on RNN super informative Thanks

[@warriorwaitress7690]

Lawrence Wilkerson should be Bernie's Secretary of Defense, or national security advisor.

[@copout1405]

At last! Somebody saying IRAN is the most stable country in the middle east and the LEADER!

[@hfactor6429]

@ur4me100 if you replace the word "Hezbollah" with the word "israe l" ........then everything you wrote would be correct!! But otherwise.....what you wrote was pure propaganda BULLSHIT!!!

[@L98fiero]

@ur4me100 Since the formatting of the PNAC policy and the Iranians kicking the US out, many things have been attributed to Iran though much is based on speculation, just like the Iraqi WMDs and Libya acquiring uranium, odd how all this started after 1979 isn't it? How many countries has Iran invaded in the last 150 years and how many has the US invaded? *Even if* you assume everything you said is absolutely correct, very conservative estimates are that the minimum number of death the US is responsible for is about 10 million since the end of WWII. 'The overall conclusion reached is that the United States most likely has been responsible since WWII for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world.' - www.globalresearch.ca/us-has-killed-more-than-20-million-people-in-37-victim-nations-since-world-war-ii/5492051

[@jdaz2452]

@ur4me100 OMG FFS LMFAO. Son you git it ass backwards. For everyone else, prepare to be angry and beyond pissed off disgusted after listening to 1st hand account by survivor Phillip Tourney, who fought to put out napalm fires that day; and retired sailor turned author, David Gahary, to detail the intentional butchering of Americans, chronicled in their new book, “Erasing the Liberty.” kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGioXmyofpyggKc Israel without question is public enemy #1 of USA and primary reason why America's sons and daughters have been sacrificed slaughtered butchered throughout history for global Jewish Zionist hegemony.

[@SandhillCrane42]

Colonel Wilkerson is the best.

Everyone who wants to understand the war in Ukraine should listen to this.

Q - Who Makes US Foreign Policy? A - Israel.

[@PacoSmith]

This was very informative. I appreciate the frankness of Col. Wilkerson, concerning this very important issue.

[@lcotler]

Fabulous report! I can't wait to see the other two parts. I urge all to send links of this to anyone who wants a concise, accurate analysis of where the world is at...and who rules it. The Deep State, the Shadow Government, the Global Power Elite-whatever you want to call the contemporary, shifting, even amorphous forces that drive history forward-are herein described. I have watched this twice already, and will watch the other segments multiple times, too. Every high school teacher should study this series! Is there a mini-Pulitzer for short quintessential series like this? !

[@ivanherrera4235]

You rarely see these kind of questions been asked, although the answer is self-evident it makes sense someone like Wilkerson answering it. I think tougher questions need to be asked.

[@dmshueyable]

This is a really great conversation. Love it! Haven’t watched all 3 parts yet but I would add one thing, provisionally. That is the finacialization of the economy. There is, to my thinking, no more dramatic change to be found in the past 40 years. It is, sadly, at the root of many of our current problems - including the foreign adventures we perpetually find ourselves stuck in.

[@gillesturcotte5661]

Democracy - an horizontal decision process - cannot exist in a state of war - a vertical decision process. Other vertical decision process are monarchy and oligarchy. For me , this alone explains the constant state of war . . . because decision by the people would end verticalism , wich is what allow the great enrichment of the oligarchs

[@Baseballnfj]

Don't forget the constant flow of money and control to the oligarchs and the government class with perpetual war.

[@gillesturcotte5661]

@@Baseballnfj . This was implied. There is always two ingredients : information and energy , both are fluids. In horizontalism they spread . In verticalism they are contained , thus accumulatable

Love this topic & discussion! Video seems overexposed at start. I am alo hearing distortion on both their audio... as if some part of the audio signal chain is overloaded. Just techincal notes from an audio engineer. Cheers!

[@Newbruceufication]

Colonel Wilkerson is much better than credible. He's a model citizen. Larry, you ever hear of Lt. Col. Andrew Bacevich? American Empire Project? You guys seem like birds of a feather, in the best possible sense of the word. You take your oaths very seriously, it appears. I like very much. Godspeed.

[@smc4229]

Paul Jay / Lawrence Wilkerson 2020

[@anon2132]

The point about the question of volatility in financial markets and its relationship to foreign policy, and government policy in general, needs to be emphasized. While it seems to makes sense that markets would value stability and predictability, and that is true in some cases, as Wilkerson points out, with the heavy use of computers and financial computer algorithms by hedge funds for example, volatility is where the real money is being made. That is the attraction of derivatives trading, which not so long ago played little role in the markets, but is now a, if not the, major player.

[@magellanmax]

Where is Paul Jay? I never see him on this channel anymore.

[@stevemickler452]

References to McCain in this video are very confusing. I had to check the date. You do know that he has passed, right?

[@stevemickler452]

Lol. My bad, I just read the description. I don,t read all the directions first either.

[@ynot75319]

Okay this is a replay from 2014.. Never mind

[@PhatLvis]

Despite Wilkerson's past affiliations, it's good to hear his honesty and insight. He seems to wind up roughly on the same intellectual side of things as progressives - but apparently for merely pragmatic reasons, rather than moral.

[@Sheilamaizi]

Isn't Wall Street suppose to make smart investments for people's money and not use it to get rich and greedy??

[@niccolea2086]

This may be a little off topic but how are these representatives actually lining their personal pockets? They become millionaires. This is the root of our problem. If they’re allowed to be bought...if we had rules that truly discouraged evening thinking about using your position to selfishly enrich yourself.... What about the emoluments clause?

[@billcarpenter5271]

These politicians are not elected, rather pre determined by the same oligarchs !!! How are all the 45 usa presidents related to the royal english family ???

[@joshuawilkerson3783]

How? Well, a salary of $180,000 to begin with. On top of that, their votes can be bought with expensive gifts. Here's the thing about lobbying: The representatives don't really have the time to research all the information necessary to draft legislation, let alone read it. Most of their time is actually spent campaigning and raising funds to finance their campaigns in order to stay in office. Lobbyists do the research, write the legislation, and explain to the representatives what's in the bills which they are putting their names on- in addition to covering their travel expenses and what not. Congress a dog and pony show, really.

[@rul4522]

Which nominee of the USA will or can do about this powers?

[@salamisfamagusta2918]

I wonder what the american public when they wake up what they will say,pray for God to help us

[@petercamacho310]

The discussions and policies are made in think tanks primarily the CFR and the Bilderberg Group. These are the meetings that take place and where the decisions are made. The policies move from there to those politicians who are in the pockets of these groups that are controlled by the oligarchs. The colonel must know that and purposefully keeps it amorphous.

To answer your question: Israel. Israel sets USA foreign policy, probably drafted in Tel Aviv

Hear that strange scraping noise, oligarchs? That's pitchforks getting sharpened, that is lol

[@robjames3864]

I wonder just how much Mr. Wilkerson knows about the CIA and tactics they use like trauma based mind control and other ugly ways they operate? Bring those topics up on here. I`d love to hear it.

[@pipbernadotte6707]

[@Sheilamaizi]

Companies have to create a better way of making money that works for us all. Maybe we don't even need money!! Look at the Amish and how they live. They help one another to have a thriving home life!! When someone needs a home they all chip in to build it!!! That's the way we should be living. We need to create things that are going to help our environment, mother earth, not destroy her!!!!

[@MaxoticsTV]

Is it a conspiracy, or was the gain on Mr. Wilkerson's microphone pre-amp set too high thereby subliminally making viewers click on other YT videos to escape the distortion in Mr. Wilkerson's audio? The host might try listening in on a headset to the levels of the interview before giving the go ahead. My guess is the tech people don't get the time they need to do a proper setup.

Please don't assume that humans are so much enlightened that they know who is maker of policy though they love to implement it, you have to live in a perfectly darkened world till you feel the need for the light of Eeman, a something when present shows you difference between actual & superficial.

[@nancyk7954]

I had to keep looking at the date this interview took place because they kept talking like John McCain is still alive and Obama is still in the drivers seat of being a strategic decision maker.

You're not subscribing to conspiracy theory here, you say. Why not? It's clear that there is some sort of agenda that never in the long run, deviates from a persistent march against the best interests of the people of the world, no matter what country we are discussing; in this case, it's America that is targeted for a clearly destructive hidden hand manipulated policy objective.

You’re losing viewers when you do this because You need to be honest in the title that this is old. Instead you put it in fine print no one sees. I resent the waste of my valuable time.
