The Premeditated Clampdown: Alison Weir on the Calculated Campaign to Protect Israeli State-Sponsored Destruction
In this archival dive from September 2021, Alison Weir, executive director of If Americans Knew, exposes the calculated rollout of weaponized antisemitism laws. Five years later, the true design behind that campaign is undeniable.
Host Jeremy Rothe-Kushel breaks out the tape to reveal how this premeditated legal framework was built specifically for this moment: to preemptively criminalize dissent and provide an impenetrable shield for state violence. We are watching the trap spring shut as these laws are actively deployed to protect the Gaza genocide, push the U.S. into an engineered war with Iran, and mask the NDAA's unprecedented fusion of U.S. and Israeli military, cyber, and data infrastructure.
From local speech codes locking down states like Kansas and Missouri, to Jeremy’s own 2016 Kansas City Library arrest exposing the DHS-Israel intelligence nexus, the machinery to erase our national interests and silence the public was installed right before our noses. When laws are designed to protect atrocities, the truth becomes our only defense.
