Transcript [00:00] This week we found out the Houthi [00:02] terrorists are using American AI [00:04] Anthropic to build hypersonic weapons [00:06] while the Islamic regime used it to spy [00:09] on Jews and Iranians. Yeah, it's been a [00:13] week. [00:15] Welcome back to Access of Truth. I'm [00:17] Emily Schrader. Imagine getting a rocket [00:19] scientist, a spy, and a propagandist all [00:22] for free and all at once. That's what [00:24] the Houthis and the Islamic Republic [00:26] tried to do with the American AI model [00:29] Claude. And this week, the company that [00:31] built Claude, Anthropic, caught them and [00:34] released everything to the public in a [00:36] stunning and alarming report about how [00:39] bad faith actors are trying to destroy [00:41] the world. In some cases, literally. [00:44] Let's start with the Houthis, the [00:45] Islamic regime's proxy in Yemen. Now, [00:48] according to Anthropic, a cell in [00:50] northern Yemen used Claude code, which [00:52] is the programming version of the model, [00:54] to do the job of engineers they either [00:56] couldn't find or couldn't trust. They [00:58] actually used the software to create or [01:00] improve a guided rocket, a ballistic [01:03] missile they wanted pushing past 2,000 [01:05] km, and the R2000 line, which includes a [01:09] hypersonic glide vehicle. They had AI [01:12] actually write the flight control [01:15] software, tune it, and then run [01:17] simulations before ever testing the real [01:19] thing. And they even ran multiple cloud [01:21] sessions at once, like a real [01:23] engineering team, with one writing code, [01:25] one doing research, and one reviewing [01:27] the work with the humans just sitting [01:29] there as the project leads. Now, there's [01:32] also evidence that they knew this was [01:34] going to get flagged by Anthropic [01:36] because according to what the company [01:37] claimed, they actively tried to hide the [01:40] weapons purpose from the company in the [01:42] prompts they wrote using Claude. But [01:44] they weren't actually the only ones that [01:46] were revealed in this crazy report from [01:48] Anthropic. They also found the Islamic [01:51] regime linked operators running what [01:53] they call an automated open-source [01:55] intelligence identity profiling harness. [01:58] It's a lot of words, but in English it [01:59] means a machine that scrapes the [02:01] internet and builds intelligent style [02:03] doseier on real people. Hundreds of them [02:06] in Israel and in the Jewish diaspora. [02:09] Now, this isn't just government [02:11] officials, but also private citizens and [02:13] organizations tied to Jewish communities [02:16] outside Israel that they were targeting. [02:17] And they weren't even starting from [02:19] scratch. According to Anthropic, they [02:21] were actually feeding an existing target [02:23] list to this American Anthropic AI. They [02:27] mapped where people physically live off [02:29] their social media. They sorted them [02:31] into buckets, urban, clerical, military, [02:34] youth, diaspora, rural, and then they [02:36] wrote the whole thing up as a formal [02:38] intelligence briefing styled like an [02:40] official government report complete with [02:42] sentiment analysis broken down by [02:44] nationality and recommended counter [02:47] messaging. The same AI operator was also [02:50] building a stockpile of over 250 fake [02:53] social media personas in Persian, [02:56] Arabic, English, and in German. Now, a [02:59] separate Iran Nexus actor built the [03:01] entire targeting handbooks on the US [03:04] Navy on personnel names, pulled off [03:06] photo captions, ship and aircraft [03:08] identifiers, and even satellite imagery. [03:11] They even researched specific [03:12] vulnerabilities in the comm's gear on [03:15] board US Navy ships down to the exact [03:18] models of satellite terminals and [03:20] networking equipment all using claude. [03:23] And speaking of building things that [03:24] they couldn't build themselves, let's [03:26] talk about the propaganda side of this [03:28] report because anthropic names names [03:30] here too. The ICCO, that's the Islamic [03:33] Culture and Communications Organization [03:36] under the Islamic Republic's Ministry of [03:38] Culture. the Islamic propaganda office [03:40] of Horasan Razavi and the Beina Cultural [03:44] Observatory. All of them used Claude to [03:46] build doctrine manuals, fake personas, [03:49] and target databases under something [03:51] that they literally call jihad alabin, [03:54] explanatory jihad. The Hasan Vazavi [03:58] group was running what they called a [04:00] cognitive warfare command room out of a [04:02] seminary in Mashad. A whole operation [04:05] that they called the catapult in English [04:08] using dozens of activists across [04:10] multiple provinces to repackage the [04:12] regime's own security services reporting [04:14] and then push it out through over a 100 [04:17] IRGC aligned channels and social media [04:20] platforms. Now, one of those operators [04:22] tied to the Beina Observatory used the [04:24] model to impersonate an IRGC [04:26] spokesperson directly. During the actual [04:29] war this year, that same network [04:31] fabricated citations and attributed fake [04:33] claims to CSIS, to Brookings Institute, [04:36] to the Rand Institute, all to make [04:38] regime propaganda look like it came from [04:41] American think tanks. And who were they [04:43] targeting with all this? the Bahigh [04:45] minority, the Iranian opposition [04:47] figures, the general American public, [04:49] and yes, the ICCO also used it to build [04:52] a nine-part international influence [04:55] portfolio and draft logistics for [04:57] Kamei's own funeral, even uploading the [05:00] full plan straight into Anthropics AI. [05:03] So, the Houthis tried to build [05:05] hypersonic missiles they could never [05:07] engineer on their own. The Islamic [05:09] Republic tried to build target lists on [05:11] Jews and on the US Navy's equipment. and [05:13] the regime's propagandists faked [05:15] American think tank citations to [05:17] manipulate the American public. All [05:20] using, in this case, American AI. This [05:23] time, Anthropic caught it. But the next [05:25] time, who knows? I truly don't think [05:27] we're ready for where this goes next. [05:29] And the worst part was that Anthropic's [05:31] report didn't even stop there. There are [05:33] other state actors and other entities [05:36] attempting to speed up their research [05:37] with AI for all sorts of nefarious [05:40] purposes including biological weapons [05:42] which is something that Anthropic also [05:44] talked about in this report. Now [05:46] Anthropic released this willingly. They [05:48] exposed Turkey, Russia, China and of [05:51] course as we spoke about the Islamic [05:53] Republic and the Houthis. But the [05:55] international community is clearly [05:57] behind on this threat and something [05:59] needs to be done before it's too late. [06:01] Well, moving on to Europe because [06:03] Germany just unsealed a crazy 214 page [06:06] indictment against seven, yes, seven men [06:10] charged with being Hamas members who [06:12] were planning coordinated terror attacks [06:14] in Berlin and Vienna. Well, they wanted [06:16] to globalize the Inifata, didn't they? [06:18] The targets were Israeli diplomats, [06:20] Jewish community centers, and pro-Israel [06:23] demonstrations. And it was timed [06:25] specifically for the second anniversary [06:27] of the October 7th massacre. Now, [06:29] according to prosecutors, the whole [06:31] thing was coordinated out of Lebanon [06:33] with Turkey cited as a base. As we know, [06:36] intelligence assessments in the filing [06:38] say that Hamas was laying the groundwork [06:39] to build and train cells in Europe [06:41] before uh going back to even before [06:44] October 7th even happened. And this [06:46] isn't the first time that we've seen [06:48] this either because earlier this year, [06:50] there were four other Hamas members that [06:51] were sentenced in Berlin in a separate [06:54] case for stockpiling weapons in Europe [06:56] since before October 7th. Now, members [06:58] of that cell actually traveled to [07:00] Lebanon to meet with a senior Kasam [07:02] Brigades commander named Khalil al-H [07:04] Karaz, who Israel killed in 2023. And [07:07] security services actually spotted [07:09] several of them on camera at his [07:11] funeral. High-ranking Hamas officials [07:13] tasked specific men with procuring [07:16] weapons inside of Germany. They ran two [07:18] separate smuggling routes. One of them [07:20] moved assault rifles, eight Glock [07:22] pistols, and over 600 rounds of [07:24] ammunition into a Berlin backyard, which [07:27] special forces raided on October 1st, [07:29] 2025. The other moved five handguns and [07:32] 10 magazines from Copenhagen through [07:34] Berlin into a rented unit in Vienna. [07:37] Now, Germans should be probably the most [07:39] furious about this part because one of [07:41] the men who helped get that ammunition [07:43] is Muhammad S. He was actually a paid [07:46] informant for Germany's own intelligence [07:48] agency, the BFB, this entire time. He [07:52] kept reporting to his handler while [07:53] allegedly supplying the ammunition [07:55] himself and never actually disclosed the [07:58] full extent of what he was doing. So, [08:00] Germany was quite literally paying the [08:03] guy who was arming this Hamas terrorist [08:05] cell. The man that they say actually ran [08:07] it was a British national named Muhammad [08:10] A. He took control of the weapons, moved [08:12] them to Vienna, and on August 7, 2025, [08:15] actually recorded himself masked and [08:17] armed in front of a Hamas flag, [08:19] announcing revenge in the name of the [08:21] Kasam Brigades. He was arrested in [08:24] London in November, and extradition [08:25] proceedings are still working their way [08:27] through the British courts. The case [08:30] overall is now headed to the State [08:32] Security Division of Berlin's highest [08:33] court, and German officials are calling [08:35] it one of the most significant terrorist [08:37] prosecutions that they've had in years. [08:40] So maybe the next time that someone on a [08:41] campus quad or outside a European [08:44] parliament decides to chant globalize [08:46] the inifatada, maybe show them this [08:48] indictment because this is quite [08:50] literally what the phrase globalize the [08:53] inifat means. That's why I keep saying [08:55] that this fight isn't just Israel's [08:57] fight. Hamas didn't just stay in Gaza. [09:00] They have operational cells sitting in [09:02] Germany. They have weapons depots buried [09:04] in other EU countries. They have a [09:06] command structure that's being permitted [09:08] to run outside of a NATO country, [09:10] Turkey, and somehow they have enough [09:12] reach to get one of their own guys onto [09:15] the payroll of German intelligence. The [09:18] Palestinian cause has already [09:20] infiltrated Western cities, and not [09:21] because it's so moral and just. It's [09:24] infiltrated campuses. We have city [09:26] councils passing resolutions about a war [09:28] thousands of miles away that has nothing [09:30] to do with them. Well, they ignore the [09:32] problems that they themselves are often [09:34] importing to their own countries. Now, [09:37] I'm glad this case was revealed. I'm [09:39] glad it was thwarted. But the fact that [09:41] the public is so dangerously naive in [09:43] Europe and the United States and Canada [09:45] and Australia is hugely dangerous for [09:48] the entire Western and democratic world. [09:51] Globalize the Inifatada means that [09:54] they're coming for you, too. Wake up. [09:57] And now, as always, we have the good, [09:59] the bad, and the ugly to close out our [10:01] show today. Getting started with the [10:02] good story this week because the IDF [10:04] actually did something truly amazing [10:06] this week and finally blew up one of the [10:08] most dangerous pieces of the Islamic [10:10] Republic funded infrastructure, well, in [10:13] all of Lebanon. Take a look. [10:24] He stole it. [10:35] >> I love that someone screamed yeehaw. [10:45] >> Well, yes. What you just watched is the [10:47] Ali Alah Ridge in Lebanon. It's a tunnel [10:50] complex that Hezbollah spent actually [10:52] two decades building with that Iranian [10:54] money that served as the nerve center [10:56] for their butter unit and gave them [10:58] direct fire control over Matula and [11:01] Kiraach Mona in northern Israel. Now, [11:03] Israel used 1,100 tons of explosives [11:06] that you just saw to take it down. This [11:08] blast was so massive that the US [11:10] Geological Survey actually registered it [11:13] as a 4.1 magnitude earthquake. We're [11:16] talking massive explosions. Netanyahu [11:20] actually called it the largest Islamic [11:22] regime outpost outside of Iran itself. [11:25] And honestly, he's not wrong. Two [11:27] decades of Iranian money and tunneling [11:30] gone in one fell boom. Love to see it. [11:33] And of course, well done to our IDF [11:35] soldiers. And now moving on to the bad [11:37] story of the week. Our favorite New York [11:39] City mayor Zoran Mandani and [11:42] geopolitical expert AOC were spotted [11:45] laughing and giggling together at the [11:47] 25th anniversary of the 9/11 memorial in [11:50] New York City. They did this while the [11:53] families were reading the names of the [11:55] victims of 9/11. Take a look. [11:58] >> An Lela, [12:00] >> Jeffrey [music] G. Latous [12:03] >> Catherine L. Labori [12:06] >> Amin Latchman [12:08] >> Ganesh K. Ladkut [12:12] >> James Patrick Ladley. [12:16] >> You're both public figures standing at a [12:19] publicly filmed memorial while families [12:21] are reading out the names of people who [12:23] were murdered on 9/11. You should know [12:26] better than to be laughing in that [12:28] moment about anything, even if you're [12:30] saying hello. The lack of self-awareness [12:33] alone demonstrates how disgustingly [12:35] narcissistic both of these individuals [12:38] are. And for Mam Dani, what even after [12:42] more than 100,000 signatures from 9/11 [12:45] families asked him not to show up on a [12:47] petition, he shows up. And this this is [12:50] what he does because that is exactly the [12:52] reverence that he has for victims of [12:54] 9/11. After all, he thinks that the [12:57] biggest victims of that day were Muslims [12:59] because Islamophobia. Well, let me tell [13:01] you something about Islamophobia. While [13:04] bigotry against Muslims does exist, [13:07] Islamophobia is a madeup term pushed [13:09] into the West by Muslim Brotherhood [13:11] apologists and groups to shut down [13:14] criticism and discussion of political [13:16] Islam. And frankly, it's working for [13:19] them. There's been this whole push this [13:21] year to turn the 25th anniversary of [13:23] 9/11 into a story about Muslims being [13:26] the real victims because of [13:27] Islamophobia. The entire effort is a [13:30] scop built to flip the victims of the [13:32] deadliest terror attack in American [13:34] history into the villains of their own [13:36] memorial. Even the Netflix documentary [13:38] about 9/11 focuses on the alleged [13:41] wrongdoings of America and the [13:42] subsequent crackdown on political Islam [13:45] as if that was wrong. These groups are [13:48] fleecing the American public and [13:50] attempting to pervert the historical [13:51] reality for their own political benefit. [13:54] The victims of 9/11 are the focus, not [13:56] Islamophobia. Politicians like Abdul al- [13:59] Side and Zoran Mdani are Islamic [14:01] supremacists who are actively [14:03] undermining the US in whatever way they [14:06] can. One of those ways is to gaslight [14:08] the public with the smear that America [14:10] is everything wrong with the world when [14:12] in fact it still is everything right [14:15] with the world. And now finally, this [14:17] week's ugly story. And it definitely is [14:20] an ugly story, but one that needs to be [14:22] addressed. The Venice Film Festival just [14:24] handed the special jury prize to Naza, [14:27] the Yuval Abraham and Rachel Zor film, [14:30] accusing Israel of AI assisted killing [14:33] in Gaza. They received a 25minut [14:36] standing ovation for this film because [14:38] of course Hollywood. And here's the [14:41] problem with the entire premise of the [14:43] film. It frames all legitimate conduct [14:45] in war as intentional killing. And it [14:48] treats legal strikes on combatants as [14:50] war crimes simply because there were [14:52] civilian casualties. If that were the [14:55] standard, no country could ever have any [14:57] civilian casualties in war and no strike [14:59] could ever be legal. To believe this [15:01] movie, you have to believe that the laws [15:03] of armed conflict that govern the entire [15:05] international community are [15:06] fundamentally and completely wrong. Take [15:10] the film central claim that the IDF [15:12] intentionally waits to strike Hamas [15:14] terrorists when they're home with their [15:15] families. That's obviously false because [15:18] every strike is evaluated legally [15:20] through the lens of proportionality. If [15:22] a combatant is surrounding himself with [15:23] human shields, the question becomes [15:25] whether he's valuable enough as a [15:27] strategic military target to justify the [15:29] strike anyway based on the estimated [15:32] risk. That's the legal standard that [15:34] everyone uses. It's not an Israeli [15:36] thing. But when Israel uses it in a [15:38] defensive war that it didn't start, it [15:40] suddenly turns into an Academy [15:42] Award-winning documentary. Right? And [15:45] what about the fact that the movie is [15:46] framed around accusing Israel of [15:48] intentionally killing civilians and [15:50] committing genocide? But every single [15:52] example that they actually discuss is a [15:55] targeted killing of a terrorist, which [15:57] by definition, and as they themselves [15:59] demonstrate inadvertently, is not [16:02] genocidal because it's precise and [16:04] targeted at a combatant. [16:07] The film actually proves the opposite of [16:09] its own thesis. And the funny thing is [16:10] the IDF has actually already answered [16:12] the long list of allegations that are [16:14] made against them in the film. On [16:16] September 11th, they put out a formal [16:17] statement saying flat out, "The IDF [16:19] categorically rejects these allegations [16:22] and the testimonies in the film that [16:24] come from the people whose identity [16:25] can't even be verified. We don't know if [16:27] they served. We don't know in what unit [16:29] or in what capacity because they were [16:31] all anonymous. And some of the claims [16:33] even allege things that a junior soldier [16:35] would have no way of knowing because [16:37] they involve national military strategy. [16:40] The film also throws around legal [16:41] terminology like the word genocide from [16:43] people who aren't lawyers and clearly [16:45] don't understand what those words mean. [16:48] All 24 sources in this film are [16:50] anonymous. All no ring, no unit, nothing [16:54] you can check against, I don't know, an [16:56] actual strike log. The film also [16:58] conveniently leaves out how Hamas [17:00] leaders actually operate. They don't [17:02] just happen to be home when they get [17:04] hit. They intentionally use civilians as [17:06] human shields, including their own [17:08] family members, because they know that [17:10] Israel's own rules of conduct make it [17:12] much harder to strike them when they [17:14] surround themselves with human shields. [17:17] Their weapons are stored in mosques and [17:19] in hospitals for exactly the same [17:21] reason. This is Hamas that's engineering [17:23] optics, not Israel being reckless or [17:26] running an AI killing machine like the [17:29] film alleges. The IDF confirmed it [17:31] themselves. Humans approve every target, [17:34] not AI. The software the film name drops [17:36] gospel also Lavender generate lists. [17:39] They generate data to assemble likely [17:41] members of terror groups for an officer [17:43] to review. They don't even have the [17:45] ability to determine anything [17:47] militarily. And no one is killed off an [17:50] AI classification alone. But that story [17:52] doesn't get you a 25-minute standing [17:54] ovation at the Venice Film Festival, [17:56] does it? It's no surprise that the [17:58] notoriously anti-Israel paper, The [18:00] Guardian, produced it, by the way, [18:02] together with Jonathan Glazer as an [18:04] executive producer. I remind you, the [18:06] same Jonathan Glazer, who used his own [18:08] Oscar speech to distance himself from [18:10] his Jewishness on stage. [18:13] For all those in Venice who stood up and [18:15] clapped, did any of you stop to think [18:17] about who this film is actually [18:18] defending? The side which was still [18:21] holding hostages, including children and [18:23] grandmothers. The side which massacred [18:25] civilians on October 7th and built [18:27] hundreds of kilometers of tunnels under [18:29] Gaza for terrorists. or the other side [18:33] which spends billions on intelligence [18:35] just to calculate how many civilians [18:37] might die before approving even one [18:39] strike that has lawyers reviewing every [18:41] single target for legality. That is a [18:44] really strange way for a country to [18:46] conduct a genocide if that truly is what [18:49] they were trying to do. Well, that's all [18:51] we have for this week. If you have a [18:52] story, feel free to pass it my way on [18:54] social media. Emily K. [music] Schrader [18:57] on X or Emily and TTel Aviv on [18:59] Instagram. And until then, I'll see you [19:01] next week here on JNS.
