Above is our short documentary film, “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” Generous individual donors funded it. It is not associated or aligned with the Democratic Party. It is released for educational purposes because mainstream media mostly ignores these critical issues. We are not suggesting how, or even if, you should vote.
Paul Jay is a veteran independent journalist and filmmaker. He is best known for his film “Hitman Hart, wrestling with shadows,” which Jordan B. Peterson called “one of the best documentaries about anything I have ever seen.” Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) said the film is “brutally honest. A must see.” This is not to suggest that either gentleman endorses “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” On the contrary, we expect they would both disagree with most of what you will see. Watch and judge for yourself.
Donald Trump called himself a “self-funder” in 2016 in an effort to show Americans he could not be bought off like the rest of Washington. Eight years later, Trump has yet to pledge even a dime of his own money to his campaign, instead relying heavily on the big-money donors he said could never influence him as president.
This interview was originally published on October 12, 2022. Noam and Daniel discuss the rising fascist movement and its roots in American history.

Ellsberg and Chomsky on theAnalysis.news with Paul Jay.
Former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, says if he lived in a swing state, he would vote for Harris, in spite of having no sympathy for the leadership of the Democratic Party. He analyzes how America’s social fabric is unraveling and how this explains Trump’s mass appeal. He warns that rebellion within the military remains possible, discusses the role of Christian nationalism in the armed forces, and examines how economic inequality has destabilized American society.
This episode of Oats for Breakfast Podcast interviews journalist and filmmaker Paul Jay.
Paul discusses why a second Trump term would be significantly more dangerous than previous Republican presidencies, including Trump’s first term in office. He also talks about what it might take, over the long term, to beat back the advances that the far-right has been making in the U.S. and Canada.
The Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), which the United States was a signatory to but abandoned under former President Trump, is unlikely to be revived. Barbara Slavin, a distinguished fellow at the Stimson Center and journalist with extensive experience reporting from Iran, underscores Iran’s desperate need for sanctions relief. She argues that the JCPOA is an outdated framework, given President Biden’s refusal to sign an executive order to bring the U.S. back into the deal, and that current twisted American foreign policy greenlights Israel’s maniacal plans to target Iran.
This is the trailer for “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” Tech billionaire-philosopher-king and AI arms manufacturer Peter Thiel quotes a nazi lawyer and calls for a new crusade. Three Generals say if Trump loses in 2024, a second military coup attempt is possible. Trump promises Christians they will never have to vote again. A vision of a pre-New Deal unmitigated, brutal capitalism, when America was “great.” Will Trump’s Iron Dome proposal protect America or increase the risk of nuclear war? Does the Trump/Vance billionaire agenda truly align with Christian values?
The “US Government” has made an ad about the 2024 election, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative (biting political satire).
In part two, American theologian and priest Matthew Fox traces out the links between the fascist wing of the Catholic Church, Opus Dei, American Cardinal Burke, and Steve Bannon, former Trump advisor and former Executive Chairman at Breitbart News. He explains how Cardinal Burke and other neofascists in the Catholic Church opposed the Second Vatican Council, which sought to update the Catholic Church. He then explains how both Co-Chairman of the Federalist Society, Leonard Leo, who drew up lists of potential conservative judges to be appointed to the Supreme Court, and President of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, share a right-wing Catholic ideology.
