🤯Whitney Webb pitches mind-blowing theory on Joe Kent's real narrative purpose: engineer "anti-semitic, right-leaning domestic terrorists" to feed to the "pre-crime" machine: "[Kent's] an intelligence officer and top CIA guy." "Be careful in trusting 'former spooks' who come out of nowhere and are saying what you want to hear right away." "Basically, the first Trump administration defined the rising domestic terror threat because after 9/11 they've been building all this infrastructure for a war on domestic terror. Every administration has advanced it, Democrat and Republican. So who are they saying the domestic terrorists are? Anti-Semitic Right-leaning populists." "I worry when people from that exact nexus that existed in [Trump's first administration] come out and are trying to get Right-leaning populists in particular to do things that the Trump administration itself—even if no one else agrees with the definition—would define as anti-Semitic." This clip of Webb (@_whitneywebb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout(.)com, is taken from an interview with Jimmy Dore (@jimmy_dore) posted to Rumble on March 26, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- Dore: "What do you make of Joe Kent?" Webb: "Yeah, so with Joe Kent, he's a intelligence officer and top CIA guy. I think a lot of stuff is going on right now, and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. But I think people should be careful in trusting former, quote–unquote, former spooks who come out of nowhere and are saying what you want to hear right away. Because a lot of times what happens is that these figures will do that to build up trust with the public and then they'll misdirect you somewhere else if you're not careful. "So I would advise vigilance and critical thinking, which is often in short supply, but should not be, about, that figure in, in particular. But I think— Dore: "So you think there's like, there might be some kind of a long-game plan with Joe Kent?" Webb: "Oh, yeah. So you saw—" Dore: "So, so I've heard this argument and, and that you know, don't take him as face value, that they're just setting him up to be the next Trump or JD Vance or something and then he's going to do all the horrible thing. So that's—" Webb: "They could. It's very possible, but I don't know how it'll go. But let me give you an example of why I'm really skeptical of him. "So when Trump was, I encourage people to go back and look at the first iteration of the Trump administration to understand what's happening now. And since my career in journalism began during Trump's first term, I thankfully remember a good amount of it. "So, about a year before the January Six event, there was this DHS official and this is the Trump administration, Elizabeth Neuman, I think her name was. She was basically saying, there's going to be a domestic terror event. We can see it building, but we can't quite stop it. It's another 9/11. Oh no. If only we had more surveillance powers and whatever, we could maybe stop this other imminent 9/11, whatever. "And so basically in that hearing, it was a hearing where she was testifying. Top officials from DHS and, and other intelligence agencies were basically painting who is the up-and-coming domestic terrorist profile in the United States, what Americans are domestic terrorists. "And so basically, the— I, I really wish I could remember the specific name of the hearing to direct people to that because it is on C-SPAN, still. But basically, the profile they gave were anti-Semitic Trump supporters or anti-Semitic Right-leaning populists. So I worry when people from that exact nexus that existed in Trump One come out and are trying to get Right-leaning populists in particular to do things that the Trump administration itself, even if it, no one else agrees with the definition, would define as anti-Semitic." Dore: "So, so what I— explain that again to me because you lost me a little bit right at the end. So you're saying that—" Webb: "Okay, so basically the first Trump administration defined the rising domestic terror threat because after 9/11 they've been building all this infrastructure for a war on domestic terror. Every administration has advanced it, Democrat and Republican. So who are they saying the domestic terrorists are? Anti-Semitic Right-leaning populists." Dore: "And so do you think Joe Kent is, is one of those?" Webb: "So before this era they had the domestic terror threat they were trying to put in front of you were obviously these groups of like Feds, like Patriot Front and the Proud Boys. And all of that. Okay, so how, if you, if, if you can't fake the demographic, how do you engineer the demographic?... "So basically if you have Trump officials that are part of this apparatus claiming right-leaning anti- Semites are domestic terrorists that need to be targeted by this infrastructure and the surveillance infrastructure, in pre-crime and all of that, that's been a part of this buildup of the war on domestic terror. And then you have people coming out and being like we're going to blame, you know, you know, saying what people want to hear because obviously Israel absolutely is intimately involved with getting us involved in the Iran war. "But the other side of it is you create— you, you signal boost that with people like Joe Kent potentially. And then you have people sort of muddy the waters between Israel and all Jewish people, which is not fair. And then you can have the Trump administration swoop in and you know, look at Alexis Wilkins. Foreign government operators are driving these narratives. "It's, it's like reverse Russiagate. And well, I mean I probably should have thought this theory a little bit more before explaining it on your show, but basically I worry that someone like Joe Kent is coming out of, out of nowhere to try and sort of engineer this problem that the US Government has had is we can't make domestic terrorists appear that fit our profile. "So now we want people to create a class of right- leaning populists who basically fit our definition. If we just define anti-Semites as people who are critical of Israel and then we can target these people with our domestic terror infrastructure. So I worry that could be happening."
