In this episode of the TFTP Podcast, Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with James Corbett to talk about the "warp speed" escalation toward war with Iran and the controlled demolition of the anti-establishment movement. James is the founder of The Corbett Report, a leading independent investigative journalist based in Japan who has spent nearly twenty years providing critical, open-source analysis of history, geopolitics, and the hidden structures of the power elite.
The conversation begins with a chilling dissection of the propaganda currently driving the United States toward a hot war with Iran. We draw direct parallels between the slow-drip deceptions of the Iraq War and the accelerated rhetoric of 2026, noting how decades of "imminent nuclear threat" narratives from figures like Benjamin Netanyahu are finally being cashed in. James provides a deep-dive analysis into the strategic significance of the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that current tensions may be a calculated move to cripple energy competition while simultaneously managing the inevitable collapse of the petrodollar and the global dominance of the U.S. dollar.
We then pivot to the internal collapse of the "America First" movement as Donald Trump systematically purges the anti-establishment loyalists who fueled his rise. By embracing neocon dinosaurs like Lindsey Graham and pushing for the "clean" renewal of FISA Section 702—the very surveillance tool he once claimed was used to illegally spy on him—Trump has signaled a complete realignment with the Deep State.
Finally, the hosts and James explore how a global technocracy is being quietly expanded under the cover of these international crises. We discuss the key actors in this modern evolution of the military-industrial complex and the reality of a surveillance state being built with zero partisan pushback. From an anarchist perspective, we conclude with a "White Pill" solutions-based inquiry: asking whether the blatant failure of the political "inside" path is the necessary catalyst for an open-source revolution. We explore how to stop being spectators to this controlled demolition and instead become the architects of the decentralized, parallel systems required to survive the transition.
