And then, beside that propaganda, I see the propaganda of Al Jazeera.
Azra NomaniGUEST
24:51
And Al Jazeera is elevating these riots and these radicals and this revolution on all of its channels, AJ+, and every other iteration that they have.
Azra NomaniGUEST
25:05
Well, how is it that Qatar and China are friends and allies of the United States, but using these networks in order to destabilize the United States and the West? I mean, that is the ultimate irony.

In September 2020, the US Justice Department ordered AJ+, Al Jazeera's US digital arm, to register as a foreign agent, finding that it acts at the direction and control of Qatar's leaders, and that Al Jazeera and its affiliates are controlled and funded by the government of Qatar.

And I was in talks with AJ Plus for a documentary, for a video series that they were doing about Apple, and they wanted me to get some B-roll.
Tariq Ra'oufGUEST
33:48
I said, cool, I can get some B-roll.
Tariq Ra'oufGUEST
33:50
So I basically just set my phone up on a computer, and I just got some B-roll of me standing there.

And And so they used this in sort of an intersectional approach to link all of the different causes together.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
60:09
And then, of course, there are actors like Cutter and others through their social media sites, through Al Jazeera, through AJ+, who have pushed a lot of the content.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
60:20
Now, we'll have to... dig deeper and to see to what extent, you know, all of this is really organized.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
60:26
But it's pretty clear that this is not like just, you know, some sort of sporadic thing and that is actually organized between far left and Islamist organizations.

But it's pretty clear that this is not like just, you know, some sort of sporadic thing and that is actually organized between far left and Islamist organizations.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
13:51
You have Islamist Muslim Brotherhood organizations, including student organizations that are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, who have really pushed that.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
14:00
You can actually just go on Al Jazeera or AJ+, and you will see the propaganda that has been happening over the past few days.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
14:09
Let's not forget that we have a French-speaking AJ+, channel here on the ground, including on social media.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
14:19
So you really have a mix of this.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
14:23
When you look at the demonstrators, if I can call them that way, it's a mix of people.
Simone Rodan-BenzaquenGUEST
15:48
It's similar to some extent with very, very different reasons what you had on January 6th, but there is an element that you have here that is very, very clearly attacking our institutions and our democracy.
Jonathan SchanzerHOST
16:02
Yeah, I mean, two thoughts.
Jonathan SchanzerHOST
16:03

in Mexico.
Tom TrewinnardHOST

Uh, and AJ+ Español, who are just unbelievably good at making, uh, vertical video, and they were doing [laughs] this long before everybody else was.
Tom TrewinnardHOST
14:53
Um, and yeah, we went to Mexico City.
Tom TrewinnardHOST

It was-
Fergus BellHOST
17:58
So it was, you were on a phone.
Tom TrewinnardHOST
17:59
This was like heavy manual work, but the AJ+ team built a new f- a custom format called Vertificado, which is like, uh, a vertical meme, meme card that they were sending out.
Tom TrewinnardHOST
18:12
It was amazing.
Asra NomaniGUEST
83:16
Um, and, uh, so Marc, he stood there, and the video was just unbelievable, um, where he stood, and he supported, uh, Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party and their, quote, "New World Order." And so, so Neville Roy Singham has become a proxy for China's interests in the world.
Asra NomaniGUEST
83:38
And to your point that you just made, Al Jazeera and this, this, uh, outfit called AJ+ is amplifying all of these street protests to, again, create this image that the West is falling apart.
Asra NomaniGUEST
83:53
And as your listeners know all too well, they're funded by the government of Qatar.
