EP 8 – The False Flag: What Is This Muslim So Angry About?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508625/fan_mail/new]  A Yemeni–American Muslim kid who grew up on 9/11, war footage, Gaza, and book fairs where kids couldn’t afford books. In this episode, Abas walks through the “bad neighborhood” in his head – from false flags and shadow power to a simple moment with a crying kid that cracked his heart open and widened his vision. This is not about left vs right. It’s about fear, propaganda, and trying to build a future where every kid’s life actually matters. “They told you it’s a war on terror. They told you it’s about safety, borders, religion. I think it’s about fear, money, and making you feel like a tiny ant.” In EP 8 – The False Flag: What Is This Muslim So Angry About? Abas takes you inside the “bad neighborhood” in his head – the one built by 9/11 news clips, Iraq war footage, Gaza, and growing up Muslim in Staten Island. This episode isn’t a lecture. It’s a walk-through: * being a Yemeni–American Muslim kid watching the Towers fall on TV * visiting the Staten Island 9/11 memorial, honoring real loss while questioning the stories built on top of that pain * how false flag narratives and weaponized fear shape policy, wars, and who gets treated like a threat * growing up after 9/11 when mosques, accents, and even your parents’ names suddenly felt suspicious * watching Gaza burn on your phone and almost getting lost in pure anger * the book fair moment with a kid who couldn’t afford a single book – and how that cracked the whole picture wide open * realizing the same systems that abandon kids under bombs also abandon kids in your own borough Abas connects: * 9/11 * Iraq * Gaza * lobbies, money, and shadow power * and a little boy crying over a book …into one bigger question: > What if the real war isn’t Muslim vs American, East vs West, left vs right— >  but a war on our ability to feel each other’s pain? This is for anyone who’s ever felt: * exhausted by propaganda from all sides * heartbroken but confused about where to aim that pain * tired of being told to pick a team instead of protecting kids, no matter where they’re born Abas doesn’t come with perfect answers. He comes with stories, questions, and a stubborn belief that our hearts are worth more than any empire’s narrative.
