Today is Easter Sunday. Two days ago, on Good Friday, I had a very interesting conversation with Dennis Kucinich, the former Cleveland mayor and Ohio Congressman who ran for president twice, managed RFK Jr.’s presidential campaign through late 2023, and recently published an eloquent Good Friday article on “The Passion of Palestine”.

State Department whistleblower and author J. Michael Springmann and I discussed Kucinich’s article on the special Easter Weekend edition of False Flag Weekly News. You can listen to or watch FFWN above. Below is a transcript of my Easter Weekend 2025 conversation with Dennis Kucinich.

Kevin Barrett Interviews Denis Kucinich on “The Passion of Palestine”

Welcome to the Truth Jihad podcast. I'm Kevin Barrett bringing on the most important voices I can find in the world telling it like it is way outside of the mainstream. And sometimes I find people who've been inside of the mainstream who are willing to tell the truth about these issues that most people aren't. And one of them is Congressman Dennis Kucinich. He has been inside the U.S. political system as the youngest mayor of Cleveland, Ohio in its history in the late 1970s when I was an undergraduate in college, and he wasn't much older than I was. Then on to the pre and post 9/11 era, when Dennis Kucinich, along with Cynthia McKinney, was one of the handful of truth speakers in our Congress. And he's still calling it the way he sees it and is one of the most eloquent voices out of the United States. although he's still in the United States, unlike me. He just published a terrific piece called “The Cross and the Pieta, The Passion of Palestine,” an Easter message that everybody should attend to. So, hey, happy Easter, Denis Kucinich, and congratulations on continuing to do this ethically commendable work.

Kevin, thank you. Thank you for reaching out and inviting me to be on your podcast. I wrote that piece as part of my weekly Substack writings because of the sense of anguish that I feel—and as I have written, I know I'm not the only one—absolute anguish that I feel about this murderous attack on the people of Gaza. Last night... There was a bombing attack on a small tent city in Kan Yunus. And six children were burned to death, including three sisters. It's hard to even comprehend the kind of violence that is going on right now. And it's even much more difficult as an American to know that our tax dollars have paid for the bombs, the planes, the missiles, the drones, the rifles, the bullets, the intel, the AI. It's really a production that's made in America. And it's absolutely soul-shattering to consider that this is happening in this day and age, 2025, and that America is making it happen

With bipartisan support, it seems. It went on under Genocide Joe, and it's just as bad, if not worse, under Trump. What in the world has happened to the United States that allows it to do this?

Well, I think this is a metastatic colonial mindset that no longer looks at consequences. that only looks at what you can do as a result of this inflated sense of power that really is a leftover
