American Exception

Max Arvo interviews Aaron about the Zionist-led neocon takeover of the US foreign policy apex through the lens of the Syndicate, the Octopus, and the Gray Alliance. The plan is for this to be a much shorter version of the ongoing SOGA series which Aaron and Max will turn into an article for Piers Robinson Journal of 9/11 Studies.

In this episode—Part 4 of The Syndicate, the Octopus, and the Gray Alliance—we look at how the Iran-Contra scandal was part of a bigger Zionist neoconservative deep state campaign to derail the Reagan and Bush-led efforts to impose a Palestinian state on Israel. The neocons’ campaign included much more than the weaponization of the Iran-Contra scandal. Its climax was the indictment of Caspar Weinberger on the eve of the 1992 election, an event which many observers credited for costing George H.W. Bush his re-election bid.
This series expands on my 2025 presentation from the 9/11 Turning the Tide conference. The working plan is for the series to eventually be transcribed and edited for a journal article.

In this episode—Part 3 of The Syndicate, the Octopus, and the Gray Alliance—we look at how Watergate was an even more spectacular example of how the emerging Zionist-led neoconservative coalition deployed political blackmail related to the JFK assassination and other deep political scandals to bend the US deep state to their will and advance Zionist goals.
