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.
