EP#257 | DSD | NeoCon Playbook, NY Post, New Orleans, Right Wing Politics & One Pound Fish
📄 Episode Overview
In Episode #257 of Deep Shallow Dive, Ray Doustdar sounds the alarm on the return of the NeoCon playbook. From the suspicious narrative surrounding the New Orleans New Year’s Day incident to the way media like the NY Post spins “terrorism” through Pilates-girl field reports, Ray breaks down why he believes the next war on terror is already being manufactured. Also covered: the Vegas cybertruck distraction, Trump’s questionable cabinet picks, and a viral Pakistani fish market banger to close it all out.
🧠 Key Takeaways
• Ray warns that the U.S. government cannot use the COVID playbook again—so they’re dusting off the post-9/11 “Islamic terror” strategy.
• He breaks down the New Orleans Sham Al Jabouri incident and why the media framing looks staged.
• A New York Post video shows a reporter in Lululemon gear walking through a supposed FBI crime scene filled with open Qurans, chemicals, and receipts—too staged to be believable.
• The Las Vegas bomber narrative feels very different—suggesting a different agenda, possibly aimed at China.
• Ray accuses right-wing Republicans like Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and Lindsey Graham of driving the new neocon war narrative.
• He says Trump’s cabinet picks and recent language suggest a return to “swampy” neocon foreign policy.
• Ray questions whether Trump is still fighting the deep state—or has joined it.
• Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are (subtly) calling it out, while professors Sachs and Mearsheimer are more openly warning of dangerous escalation.
• The Atlantic recently published a piece questioning whether the U.S. could defend itself in a major war—Ray sees it as setup for a defense spending boom.
• Ray ends with a hilarious viral track from the “One Pound Fish” guy—proof that truth and comedy can coexist.
