1.04 - Inescapable - Forever Wars

As the war in Iran intensifies, a parallel battle is playing out online where propaganda, viral clips, and AI generated content are shaping how people understand the conflict in real time. We unpack the latest developments and the information war unfolding across social media, from dramatic combat footage and engagement bait to the growing sense that platforms like X are no longer a reliable real time source of information. Along the way we look at how generative AI and social media are distorting public understanding of events, including bizarre viral claims that Israeli intelligence implanted nano trackers in Iranian leaders during dental visits, stories that spread far faster than the far more mundane intelligence methods likely behind real operations.

In the Plus extension, we dig into Operation Trojan, the Mossad psyop that tricked Reagan into bombing Libya and set off a chain of events that killed 270 people over Lockerbie. We also go deep on whether Israel is blackmailing Washington, and why UAP disclosure is dead on arrival... and always was.
