Israel is building the new Sodom and Gomorrah for Pride Month....meanwhile, the SPLC is caught red handed money laundering to the groups they claim to hate.
Thanks for tuning in. You're listening to another episode of Propaganda with Mick and Jacob. All right. Happy Friday. I hope you had a great rest of your week. Um, I want to talk about the Pride Festival that Israel is hosting, apparently historical size.
SPEAKER_01Not many uh Pride Festivals happening in the Middle East.
SPEAKER_00No, no, there's there's not. I wonder why. Um so Israel has decided to host the Middle East's largest pride parade festival in history. They've never had something of this size for Pride.
SPEAKER_01They've never had something this gay.
SPEAKER_00I wonder why. So this is set to start June 1st, of course, kicking off the beautiful month of June. And it's supposed to run for four days from June 1st to June 4th, and that marks history for them. They've never had a Pride Festival of this length and size. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Continue.
SPEAKER_00Um, but what interested me was that it's not just uh it's not just a festival with, you know, some parades or floats or fun things. They're actually planning to build a city from the ground up in the middle of the desert.
SPEAKER_01They tried this before. It's called the Tower of Babel.
SPEAKER_00And I'm it sounds a little familiar, doesn't it? Um, so a section of the Judean desert will be flipped into what they're calling Pride City. What? And this is where our pride parties will be all day long. Um, there's gonna be performances that I'm I'm sure you usually pay for. Um, there's gonna be hotels, beaches. I think they're renting out like 15 hotels for this and entertainment everywhere, everything beautiful and pride and rainbows, and yeah.
SPEAKER_01Sorry to keep interrupting, but Pride City was uh they tried that before too. It's called Sodom and Gomorrah, and there was actually a very important biblical lesson from that uh in this part of the world, in this exact part of the world in the Bible, which we know to be true. So round two, I guess.
SPEAKER_00Now, while the parties will obviously be the main attraction, um, there will also be dedicated spaces for children and their families to enjoy the cultural events. Yeah, I'm being I'm being serious. This is from the producer of the festival himself. He encourages families with children to attend. He's actually making sure there's dedicated spaces for them. It's a little odd you would want to. I mean, I've always said this, uh, even with like festivals in the US or I'm sorry, parades in the US and festivals too. It's a little odd you would want to bring children to an event that is centered around sex and what you like to do sexually. Like Burning Man, you don't bring Yeah, you don't really want to bring your kids to Coachella.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00It's just not a place for them. There's a lot of adult things going on.
SPEAKER_01To encourage families to come. Yeah, come to the gay pride festival. Bring your kids, it'll be great. Super family friendly. We'll watch them for you, don't worry. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh boy.
SPEAKER_01There'll be a gay care where you can just leave them there.
SPEAKER_00A gay care. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Okay, cut that out. There'll be a daycare where you can just leave your kids with us to watch them.
SPEAKER_00So right. Yeah, right. That'll go well. Anyway, we'll see how that goes. Uh, especially with the war going. I mean, there's always like there's always things happening in the Middle East. Like, I don't know if it's really a stable place to have this gigantic festival. You're planning to build a new city. You know, I don't know if it was the best timing for that, for anything really.
SPEAKER_01But this is not the time to be giving Iran any more targets. I would just like to say that now.
SPEAKER_00So probably not. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm not hoping the Pride Festival gets bombed or anything, but I'm saying, like, um, yeah, that's not that's not really in the Muslim religion.
SPEAKER_00It just goes against Islam religion, like everything the neighboring uh countries right.
SPEAKER_01So it's kind of funny that like you're in a war right now and you're gonna build like this gay city that they really hate. Be like, hey guys, it's right here, you know. Also, Israel is a Jewish country, as we know, so they believe in Judaism and they believe in the Bible the Bible and the God of the Old Testament, uh, which is actually where the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is from. So, uh, as far as they know, they don't even believe in the New Testament. So the that story should be pretty relevant to them. But obviously they didn't learn anything from that. So we're gonna try it again. It's just weird to me that it's like the only country in the Middle East that will support this stuff. So why is that? They're the only Jewish country in the in the Middle East, in the world. Well, and they support this pride parade while all the surrounding Islam countries hate that stuff, which makes sense because it's against their religion. But Judaism, it's against their religion too, at least in the Old Testament and the Bible, obviously. So they're just such a free, wonderful society where they encourage gay parades for kids, like to bring your kids to. I don't know. I don't know. Seems kind of weird to me.
SPEAKER_00I don't imagine there's a huge need for it either in the in Israel.
SPEAKER_01There is Israel's a super liberal place.
SPEAKER_00It's well, there you go, that's why.
SPEAKER_01It's like Miami of the Middle East.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, they that's why.
SPEAKER_01Of course, I mean, I know it's like, I know Israel was founded in Judaism, but but they take their religion so seriously, except for hosting the world's biggest pride parade in the Middle East, you know? You know, like the Islam, the Islamic countries never would do something like this. It's weird because they take their religion extremely seriously.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01Which I believe the Jews do as well, but it's like, I don't know. Why are you making odd exception?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, a weird exception for this.
SPEAKER_00I already know I'm gonna be sick of Pride Month this year. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Last year was really toned down. It was. They're gonna make it come back.
SPEAKER_00It was kind of nice. They will.
SPEAKER_01Uh, in other news that's came out recently, U.S. officials have charged to the Southern Poverty Law Center, SPLC, a civil rights nonprofit known for attracting extremist groups like the KKK and other whatever. They they target anti-gay groups and churches and moms for liberty and basically all the stuff that you know seems normal to people. Like, hey, we don't want like trannies in the kids' bathrooms, like, we don't want gay people just running rampant naked through our streets, you know. We want to be able to have our our Christian religion and beliefs and practices and use them at our private schools and our churches without being interfered with, you know? Things like that. But the SPLC, they would say all those things are evil. It's that it's racist, it's anti-Semitic, it's homophobic, it's whatever you whatever you're whatever you may call it. Turns out, DOJ led a investigation on this. They're charging with multiple accounts of wire fraud and money laundering. So the DOJ has alleged that the SPLC secretly paid over three million dollars to informants connected to extremist organizations, including neo-Nazi groups and the KKK, and misled donors about their about how their contributions were being used. So, what does this mean? This means that the SPLC, a organization founded on fighting racism, sexism, homophobia, all these terrible things. They are getting money from their donors and they're sending it back into the the hate groups, the organizations, the all these other people that they disagree with. They're feeding the fire with their own supporters and their own funders and their own donors. They're feeding the fire of the thing they're claiming to hate and destroy and want to seek the destruction of. There'll be no more customers.
SPEAKER_00I was just gonna say they need to be needed.
SPEAKER_01So simply put, there's not enough racism in this country for this to be a thing. There's just simply not. Like most people you meet are not racist. No, most people you meet have no harboring and no like unbiased, like or no biased um partiality to a certain group or one other group.
SPEAKER_00Genuine racism, okay. But correct. We've lost the definition of it.
SPEAKER_01Correct. Genuine racism. Racism does not exist in the US anymore. It hasn't for a very long time. So it's crazy that they have to manufacture, pay, support, prop up who they fight, who they claim to fight against, just so they can stay in business, so they can keep up with this, you know? And they'll say it's all on the rise. Anti-Semitism's on the rise, racism's on the rise, homophobia that's never been more dangerous for trans people under the Trump administration. Women's rights, they don't exist anymore because they can't kill their babies anymore in some states at some times. So, like, they'll say all that stuff is terrible, and yet they get caught giving their supporters money to these groups that they're claiming to hate. The acting attorney general Todd Blanche, uh, who replaced Pam Bondi because she was fired, he claimed the group was not combating extremism, but instead they were manufacturing it by funding individuals within these groups. So some of the allegations are money to the groups, some of the allegations are um specific like payments or money being sent to individuals in these groups, whether they're on the ground or higher up or involved in whatever. So this has been involved in tons of things, including the 2017 Charlottesville uh rally, the Unite the Right rally. So they help pay for that too. So it's kind of interesting that, which we've known this for a long time. Anyone that has two brain cells rubbed together knows this. Same thing with January 6th. There was hundreds of feds in the crowd, right? We knew that. So that was just a primary recent example of January 6th. But you'll see these groups, you'll see all these like a couple hundred masked men, white guys with American flags, and they're like covering their faces. And it's like, okay, yeah, I do believe there are some people out that they're like that. And some of those guys are real. I'm not saying they're not, but it's like there's obvious feds in the crowd. And if you hear any of these things, if you go to any of these things, if you watch any of these things, you can tell who the feds are. They say certain things, they say they egg people on, that you know, like in the Capitol, it's like, guys, let's go break into that building over there. What? Yeah, everyone follow me. Okay, like that happens. That's not a secret, it happens. It turns out, not even the government, just the SPLC, they're also funding things like that.
unknownWow.
SPEAKER_00So that's that's kind of crazy.
SPEAKER_01Think of how genuinely little racism there is in this country. Okay, there's not much. And then think of how much less there would be if groups like the SPLC weren't paying for it, weren't manufacturing it out of thin air.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01So feeding it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I mean, that's why it's good to question everything. That's why it's good to think. To read things for yourself, to look into things. And not just listen to what you're being told, but look at what's happening. Look at who gets punished, look at who serves consequences for things and who doesn't. Look at who's paying for it and who's not. Look at who's receiving benefits from it and who's not. Like you begin to ask yourself some of those questions and you can see right through a lot of this stuff. If you would have said Charlottesville was partially paid for, if you would have said there was feds in the crowd of J6, if you would have said any of this, any of these things, you would have been called a conspiracy theorist because there's no facts for it.
SPEAKER_00Don't put your tinfoil that on.
SPEAKER_01Years later, it comes out it's true every single time. So it's like you don't need to be told that it's true 100% by the facts right then and there to know it's true. As we've seen, especially when it comes to our government and when it comes to these other organizations here, um, the truth comes out a lot later, usually. And it vindicates a lot of people that were called crazy originally. It vindicates them by acknowledging, you know, their crazy theories, their ideas, their I have a feeling, you know, all those things get validated years later.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so Jacob and I found this. It's called the um the hate map.
SPEAKER_01It's the SPLC's hate map.
SPEAKER_00And they have a hate map listing organizations across the country, across the US that are dangerous, that that support and that support anti-LGBTQ, you know, all of all of that, that are racist, that basically everything that the SPLC claimed to fight against, they make a map of organizations or people groups that are for that. So they literally have it.
SPEAKER_01It's an interactive map.
SPEAKER_00It's an interactive map. And you can like go across the country and and and zoom in on each state, each state to see what e what states have what kind of terrorist groups that might be danger to you. So right now I'm in North Dakota, and some groups listed Moms for Liberty. Awesome.
SPEAKER_01Every single Moms for Liberty chapter is on all these states.
SPEAKER_00Active Club, Rough Riders Active Club, White Nationalist, Patriot Front. They're listed as white nationalist.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so it tells you each group. Wow, and it can be a organization, a church, a nonprofit, a whatever, uh, a political party, and it tells you exactly what it is. Oh, this is anti-LGBTQ. Oh, this is anti-governmental, this is like white supremacist or racist or whatever.
SPEAKER_00Wisconsin has parents' rights and education.
SPEAKER_01Parents' rights and education. That sounds dangerous.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that does sound dangerous.
SPEAKER_01This is my favorite. The Constitution Party in Ripon, Wisconsin, where the Republican Party was born, just a small party here, the Constitution Party, is an anti-governmental. They are anti-governmental. Oh. So Moms for Liberty, Moms for Liberty, it's all of them. Wow. But then certain churches get put on here too. Yeah. Pilgrims Covenant Church in Monroe, Wisconsin. That's on here for anti-LGBTQ. My guess? My guess is they had a pastor or they had a sermon or something came out about, you know, you know, practicing and preaching what the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin. You can put on the map. Boom. You disagree with what we say? You're on the map.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, uh, Florida has no left turn in education. Anti-government. Okay. So yeah, it sounds like a lot of these groups just There's different ones too.
SPEAKER_01There's neo-Nazi. Oh my god. There's neo-Volkic. Uh there's white supremacists, white nationalist, hate music. There's hate music. Conspiracy propagandists. That's the John Byrd Society.
SPEAKER_00I mean. Oh my gosh, there's there's conspiracy propagandists, women fighting for America in Florida.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy.
SPEAKER_00All right. And it's too, it's funny too, because they'll take this map and you can uh you can kind of toggle it between the years so you can go back all the way to like 2000 and up to now.
SPEAKER_01You can see how much hate it's gonna be.
SPEAKER_00And you can see how it's grown, and that's how they kind of I guess pull their data from, and they're like, look, look, look, like compared to 2000, there's like X amount of groups that have popped up across the nation. But then I don't know, it's crazy. You click on these groups and you're like, church? There's a church on here? Moms for Liberty?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you can filter which ideologies they classify as like hate, you know. So if you're looking for if you're looking for a Moms for Liberty chapter or a good church to join, you can probably come on here and filter that out to look for it.
SPEAKER_00They have male supremacy. They have they have Christian identity as a group. That's just Christian. You're just Christian. We're gonna put you on a hate map. Yeah, so that's the SPLC for you. Thanks for listening to this Friday's episode. Um, be sure to give us a follow on all of our other social media channels. It really helps get the podcast out.
