Summary
Redacted is joined by Melissa Witt, known on X as 'village crazy lady', to break down the confusing and pervasive propaganda driving online political discourse. They analyze why many influencers who correctly identified the lies surrounding the Ukraine war have now pivoted to promoting pro-Israel talking points. The discussion delves into the decades-long influence of the Israel lobby on American politicians and how religious movements, like Christian Zionism, were historically funded by Wall Street to create grassroots support for foreign policy goals.
