Guest #45 | James Corbett, The Corbett Report. Self-Awareness.
Geopolitics 101 Meets the 401-Level Lie
In this rare long-form interview, James Corbett of The Corbett Report joins from Japan to break down the machinery of modern geopolitics—from false flags and manufactured consent to the quiet coup of digital control. We explore how narratives are built, why the public keeps falling for them, and how war, finance, and media are tools of the same global architecture. Whether you’re new to geopolitics or deep down the rabbit hole, this is the classroom you didn’t know you needed.
🧠 Consent Over Control | James Corbett on False Flags, Palantir & the Algorithmic March to WWIII
📄 Episode Overview
In Episode #45 of Deep Shallow Dive, Ray is joined by James Corbett, founder of The Corbett Report, for a rare long-form interview that walks us through both Geopolitics 101 and 401. From his home in Japan, James outlines how the modern global order manufactures consent, hides truth in plain sight, and builds conflict through predictive programming, digital surveillance, and psychological manipulation.
They tackle everything from Palantir’s expanding role in defense contracts to Netanyahu’s obsession with false flag narratives, and explain how today’s global leaders are using the fog of AI, data, and psychological warfare to control both the battlefield and the mind.
This episode offers a sweeping education in history, propaganda, and the nature of power—from the Dreyfus Affair to 9/11, October 7, and the very real, very engineered road to World War III.
