this is a stellar episode, im consistently impressed with the razor sharp katana you take to the mainstream narrative

not to be rude but a tip to pronounce nuclear is to think NEW-CLEAR (Nu-Clee-Er)

Absolutely amazing topic and interview.  Thank you guys so much.

....and while they (the FBI) are running these ISIS scams, the real terrorists (racist paramilitaries) are out there plotting for The Day of Reconning.

The Camden case actually exposed COINTELPRO, because documents from the program were in that office, and sent to the antiwar press by the activists.

We’ve seen the headlines hundreds of times: “ISIS plot foiled”, “ISIS in Brooklyn", “Woman Stopped At Airport on way to join ISIS”. These stories strike fear into the hearts of Americans everywhere, especially in the build up to the war effort against ISIS in Summer 2014.

The terror group was seemingly everywhere, recruiting our teenagers and attempting to strike in every major city––seemingly all at once. But what do these headlines mean exact? What is an “ISIS plot”? What is the gap between the image the media provides versus the reality of what’s occurring? 

On this week’s episode we dive into the 17 year-long phenomenon of the US media assisting the government’s war on terror by parroting dubious claims of al Qaeda and ISIS plots when the vast majority of the time––no al Qaeda or ISIS is involved. 

With guest Pardiss Kebriaei, Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights.
