Truth Jihad Radio Mon. 7/25/11, 1-3 pm Central, American Freedom Radio (archived here.) Call-in number: (402) 237-2525 or post your questions to my Facebook page.

1-2 pm: Peymon and a surprise guest!

2-3 pm: Jeff Blankfort, who emailed me last week saying "I've been Duffed!" Jeff was referring to Gordon Duff's remarks on last week's Truth Jihad Radio, which are transcribed below. (Listen to the Duff interview here.) So I'm offering Jeff, one of the sharpest and most prolific voices in alternative journalism, the chance to reduff Duff.

First Section of Last Week's Interview with Gordon Duff (topic: Rupert Murdoch scandal, etc.)

Barrett

One of my regular radio guests, Jeff Blankfort, wrote me: "Kevin: There is no evidence that Rupert Murdoch is an Israeli citizen. There have been allegations that he was Jewish and I included him on the first list I made of Jews in the media but subsequent investigation did not bear that out so I removed him....He has been honored a number of times by Jewish groups like the ADL and he has given speeches expressing his undying love and support for Israel but I think that is more a recognition by Murdoch of Jewish power which could bring him down if he ever took a line that wasn't solidly pro-Israel."

Christopher Bollyn has an opposite opinion. He writes that Murdoch "has served his purpose: to sell the global deception of 9/11...the global Murdoch media empire was created with Rothschild funding and exists to spread Zionist propaganda among the English-speaking nations of the world. Murdoch's son James is in line to take over at the helm of their media empire, although it is quite likely that the empire will not survive very long after Rupert Murdoch passes away."

Let's see what Gordon Duff thinks. Welcome, Gordon Duff, to Truth Jihad Radio. How are you?

Duff
Hey, Kevin. You certainly went to the opposite poles there. To Mr. Israeli Spokesman himself, Blankfort...

Barrett
We're fair and balanced here! I'm the real "fair and balanced." Fox News stole it from me.

Duff
And Blankfort and I by the way...we're all in a round-robin email thing where we've been communicating - fighting, not fighting - for years. And Blankfort's a great writer...

Barrett
He is. And he's prolific. He cranks out almost as much stuff as you do.

Duff
Well, Blankfort got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar on Wikileaks. He came out as a powerful defender of Wikileaks, as independent, as an independent voice. And then Wikileaks of course turned out to be a Zionist-controlled intelligence operation, even spoken of as such by Zbigniew Brzezinski, that had one job, and that was to create some sort of validation for an attack on Iran. That's the whole Assange thing.

Barrett
Didn't work very well.

Duff
Wikileaks is dead! And Kevin...(laughing)...I killed him (Assange), nobody can bring him back -

Barrett
So you think this is a litmus-test issue? That if you have a writer like Jeff Blankfort, who I get along with fine - I think he's honest -

Duff
Jeff's a good guy.

Barrett
Yes.

Duff
And he's a good writer. But Jeff is not...he is not one of us. Jeff is extremely mainstream, a big defender of Israel, re-packaged as a freedom-loving anti-Zionist. He's a smart guy, he's nice people.

Barrett
I wish there were more "defenders of Israel" like Jeff Blankfort.

Duff
Well, he does a good job carrying water for them, pretending to be one of us. And that I sometimes resent. And then he's an angry guy.

Barrett
I'm sure he gets angry with you when you call him an agent! (laughter)

Duff
Kevin, one of these things about being...let's say, professionally trained. I have this built-in...can I say "bullshit" on the radio?

Barrett
(Imitating security alarm) NNNNNYYYYYAHHHH! Sorry folks, we've just been taken off the air, Homeland Security has prevented us from continuing this show due to Gordon's filthy mouth. (laughter)
Duff
And Blankfort and Israel Shamir totally pegged (the BS meter) into the red. Let's say they were more or less caught up in...and this one, this one is almost insanely bad. I work as a defense contractor. That's no big secret. I train intelligence personnel. Intelligence analysts. At a national level. And I've been doing this for a long time. So when I'm traveling on the nickel I get to stay in good hotels. When I'm in the UK, I'm with Special Branch. I have five, six SAS people with me all the time. These are my friends. Including people that are looking at getting in trouble on this Murdoch thing. People who are close to these guys are people I've known - and frankly, people I'm close to.

Barrett
You've got friends going to jail on this one, Gordon?

Duff
Well, here's what I'm told on this, anyway. I'm told that James Murdoch's going to jail next week. They've got an arrest warrant with his name on it sitting there right now.

Barrett
Interesting. He's the heir apparent.

Duff
And Blankfort knows. Not only that the Murdochs are the Oppenheimer family, one of the great Jewish banking families...and Bollyn...Bollyn's a great researcher. A lot of places where nobody has ever gone, Chris Bollyn has gone. He does quality work, and he doesn't have an agenda. Nobody's paying Chris! (laughter) So I have a lot of respect for Chris, and we're on the same emails, the alternative journalism people. What am I saying, YOU're on these emails!

Barrett
I'm on these same emails, Gordon, and sometimes I get more than I really need to read. (laughter)

Duff
It's like five-year-olds screaming at each other. Anyway, I know we've talked about this before, but I put up a video from Press TV with Alan Sabrosky, one of my co-editors at Veterans Today, talking about Israel and 9/11. Go to Veterans Today and watch the Alan Sabrosky interview on the Press TV show Autograph.

Barrett
It's a great interview, isn't it? My interviews with Alan are great too - I did one last week - but I'm not as good-looking as that Press TV interviewer.

Duff
That's right.

Barrett
Even the hijab can't hide that this is a very attractive person, as well as a good journalist. And I guess we shouldn't be saying sexist things like this on the air either. (security alarm sound) We've just been knocked off the air again.
Duff
Susan's a looker. Which is fine. And Alan...Alan's a fun guy. He's going through some health issues here. His injured shoulder has been off for a few days. So he did this while he was in a lot of pain, which might have shown.

Barrett
I thought it was just painful to contemplate these things (Israel doing 9/11, controlled demolition of 3000 people, millions killed in subsequent wars...) Which of course it is.

Duff
Let's go over to Murdoch. And this is my private sources here. And (laughing) we're all idiots in our own sort of way. And we've got this world built on conspiracy. And the conspiracy nuts are not in alternative media. Fox News invented crazy conspiracy. Wasn't this Rush Limbaugh thing that the First Lady had murdered Vince Foster? Strangled him, and then put a gun in his hand on a park bench?

Barrett
I always thought that was crazy. And then I learned that Mike Rivero seems to believe it.

Duff
We're not going to go into this with Mike! Mike is a fun guy also. Not everybody that we deal with...Well, who can define sane any more?

Barrett
Good question.

Duff
But let's go back to why I brought up Sabrosky. Sabrosky's mainstream. He taught at West Point. He was Director of Studies at the US Army War College for five years. Sabrosky comes out of the middle of the military-intelligence world. Two years ago - I think it's maybe three or so - Alan woke up one day - we've always talked - and said, "I've had these suspicions about 9/11. I knew something was really wrong, and I wake up one day and ask myself why haven't I been taking a strong look at it, and why haven't I done something about it?" And that means that for six years, Alan, and frankly some of the rest of us, have had our heads in the sand. Because the second it happened, a bell went off in my head, and I said, yeah, yeah, fighter jets are supposed to be shooting these planes down. I know that chain of command, I know the people on it. I know you can't turn it off. Or I didn't think you could, until I found that Rumsfeld did give himself that authority. 9/11 could not have occurred other than for him to make a series of personal orders. He and Cheney, and and and and and. And then of course I'd never heard of Building 7 for a long, long time, even as a journalist. What I did here - I got a call on 9/11. This is what I was told by a New York Police Detective, a friend of mine. He called me and said they had arrested two Israelis not on the intra-sub (?) but that they had arrested these people on the George Washington Bridge with 2,000 pounds of plastic explosives in a van. And they were leaving the vehicle. They were going to close the Bridge down.

Barrett
That's a lot of plastic explosives. That could do some very serious damage to that bridge.

Duff
It could certainly blow the roadway out of the bridge. That's about it. And they (the police) were under the impression that there were other teams (attacking) other bridges and tunnels. They said there was a group that was going to close the Lincoln Tunnel. The guys who were picked up with the explosives absolutely were Israeli citizens. And I hadn't heard about the Dancing Israelis. If you haven't heard about this, google "Dancing Israelis" and we'll save some time on that one. But there were Israeli teams, with white vans, driving around New York trying to shut down Manhattan and push Manhattan into a panic. And that one of these teams, with explosives and weapons, was arrested. And a second team was arrested filming the planes going into the World Trade Center.

Barrett
You would think that if they're going to send some planes into the World Trade Center, and then blow up those skyscrapers and blow up Building 7, you would think that would be enough. Why would they have to go around blowing up bridges and tunnels too?

Duff
With just the "19 hijackers" and the clean passport fluttering out of the sky, it just wasn't enough. They needed a full-fledged panic. They needed... People don't know when to stop. They weren't sure the country would go absolutely bonkers, that everybody would step into line. But lo and behold, everybody stepped into line. Walter Cronkite said, there is nobody out there - you and I weren't out there at the time - there is nobody out there to speak for the United States. There was no one there, as Sabrosky said, to speak for the United States when it was attacked by Israel.

Barrett
That raises the issue: Supposedly there was a meeting of some high-level military people after 9/11. What are those guys' names...there were some colonels, basically, who said they got together after 9/11, put their heads together, understood it was an inside job and probably Israel did it. Col. Donn (de Grand-Pre) was one of these people. Do you know anything about that?

Duff
Oddly enough, I'm working on a project now in one of those US allied countries where I'm training people from a couple of government agencies. So I'm going into my dinosaur crowd. And one of them was the Chief of Intelligence for NATO. And a guy that I've got in Africa right now was the FBI's head of counter-terrorism at the time (9/11/2001). And the FBI was very much on top of the fact of who was involved and what happened. They absolutely knew. And they were aware in advance, as Susan Lindauer will tell you. And I sat through this meeting about three weeks ago in a hotel room in Washington, with...uh...a group of FBI. And we got to talk about this. They're totally on board with both of us.
Barrett
That was the impression I got when I was interrogated by the FBI at Newark Airport. After I gave them my little 9/11 rap, they were all but nodding along with me.
Duff
Yeah, they're really on board. And I generally get along well with these guys. Now the Army guys are friends. But I've got a bunch of Army Intelligence guys who to this day have never heard of the USS Liberty...I think they live in a hole in the ground somewhere. (laughter) One of them is a very close friend. And we have violent personal confrontations over this, shoving matches. And this is old guy shoving matches! The equivalent of bum fights - over these issues!

Barrett
You shove him and say "look at the USS Liberty!" Then he shoves you and says "they just mistook it for an old horse transport!"

Duff
He shoves me, and I say "Wait, your shoelace is untied." Then, WHACK! (laughter)

Barrett
Seriously, he doesn't want to even look at the USS Liberty? Or he believes the cover story, that the Israelis mistook it for a horse transport that was vastly smaller, and didn't have any of those antennaes...

Duff
He believes the cover story. But it's more than that. This is someone who has met McGonagle, the Captain of the USS Liberty, more than once. Not only a Medal of Honor winner, now deceased, but who came out as the most credible individual saying this was a purposeful attack on a...well, the USS Liberty, that's another show here, something to look into.

Barrett
I've done a couple.

Duff
I'd like to encourage listeners to go out and look into it, and then kind of wise up. They're going to have to learn how to put in their own bullshit meter, so when they turn on the regular news, their eyes start going back in their heads and --

Barrett
We call it a BS meter here for the sake of the FCC. And we'll be right back...
