#497 Life's Fragility, Financial Illusions & The Rise of Tech Titans

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Then out spake brave Horatius, the captain of the
gate To every man upon thisearth.
Death cometh sooner or later,and how can a man die better
than facing fearful odds for theashes of his fathers and the
temples of his gods?
Lord McAlay, you are listeningto the Ardaburn Radio

(00:27):
Transmission.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I am awake.
Officially Might be for a while, now it's the 30th of January

(01:16):
2025.
Well, folks, I had the DavidKnight show earlier today.
As usual, it's Thursday, so Iget to talk to the great David
Knight, but earlier this morning, as I was prepping for his show
, I went outside to getsomething out of my car and I
live on a busy street and Beans,the Brave brave as she is she

(01:42):
followed me out and then turnedand saw a cat that's across the
street.
This is a busy street and it'sthe reason I built a fence here
at my house, but the fence isnot in place on the side and she
ran.
She ran as fast as she could.
She's going to go get that catand I almost blew out my voice.
I yelled so loud three timesand finally she laid down in the
tire of the car that was going.

(02:05):
Of course, there had to be acar at that exact moment was
going probably 50 miles an hourand it missed her by less than
three feet.
So you know, I'm looking at theheadlines right now on Drudge
about this collision between aBlackhawk helicopter and an

(02:26):
American Airlines flight, andyou know this happens every day,
like life is so fragile andwe're all.
We're lucky to be here.
Nothing is guaranteed,tomorrow's not promised.
That sort of philosophygrounded in the fact that you
are mortal, that you're notinfinite, you're not a God these

(02:50):
are things that you need tokeep in the back of your mind
all the time.
It'll make you a better person,and I keep this stuff.
I've lost a lot in my life.
I've lost dear, dear friendsand people and family, and it um
, and it's shaped my character.
But every once in a while I'llget just another reminder.
I'm really thankful, you know,so I'm get to do this show.

(03:12):
I don't even know how I woulddo a broadcast after something
like that.
Uh, if I lost my, uh, my dog,my best friend, we go everywhere
together.
She's on the logo for my showand you know this is a.
She's such a big part of mylife so I thought I'd start off
the show talking about that.
And you know we look whetherit's politics and all these

(03:34):
things you know that drive usinsane and drive us apart.
It's also inflammatory.
You know the lives that we live, uh, while we're on this planet
for a short period of time and,uh, you know, if you get, you
got to while we're on thisplanet for a short period of
time and, uh, you know, if youget, you got to take a step back
every once in a while.
Sometimes you'll get a gift ora glimpse and you'll, you know,
reset your attitude.

(03:55):
So I'm just officially thankinggod almighty for my dog being
okay and I get to talk to youabout Luciferian Bankster Notes,
the financial system, ai.
It's the official broadcast ofthe apocalypse and it's a lot of
fun.
So, welcome.
I am your host, tony Arterburn,and, as usual, broadcasting in

(04:17):
defiance of not only globalistgoblins but the neocons and the
new world order, we're going tojump into some financial stuff.
First of all, I brought up apoint speaking with David Knight
this morning, and I doubtanybody will follow up with this
.
But hey, if you really wantedto expose the entire fraud of

(04:42):
the financial system, of markets, of the false dichotomy between
oh, there's the rich versus thesocialist, if you wanted to
expose all of that and theconspiracy of that, then what
you would do right now is youwould say okay, super wealthy,
we're going to abolish theincome tax.

(05:03):
Are you with us?
Super wealthy, we're going toabolish the income tax.
Are you with us?
They wouldn't follow.
Do you understand?
It's so funny.
You have people like AOC andall these progressives like
we're going to eat the rich, taxthe rich, we're going to bleed
them dry.
It's the rich, we're going totax them.
The rich fund you.
That's your source of revenue.

(05:26):
The ultra-wealthy fundsocialism.
Let me say that again that way,because the left-right paradigm
in this country is absolutelyweapons grade, ridiculous and
stupid.
Think about it.
If the ultra-wealthy don't wantto abolish the income tax, then
how are you going to soak therich with it?

(05:48):
What is it used for?
It's a political weapon andit's used by the ultra rich to
keep them from havingcompetition.
So while we're having thisconversation, trump's talking
about the 1870s, through the1890s, and how prosperous it was
for America.
It's absolutely true.
There's a reason for that, oneofficially, in 1879, we went on

(06:09):
the gold standard.
Now we had a bimetallicstandard since the founding of
the country.
The founding fathers knew allabout paper currency, knew all
about fiat.
They saw what happened withJohn Law's experiment with the
French and how that implodedtheir currency.
They had a short run of papernotes during the Revolutionary

(06:31):
War, called a continental.
That was as worthless as acontinental.
So that phrase stuck around fora long time.
So the founding fathers, that'swhy we had a bimetallic system,
but officially we followed theBritish, who were the world's
reserve currency at the time,and the gold standard 1879.
So what he's talking about is wehad a gold standard, we started

(06:53):
exporting, we had economicnationalism, we had
manufacturing, the IndustrialRevolution.
Things were built here.
If it could be made here, itwas made here, and we protected
our markets.
There was protectionism builtinto the American system.
That was set up by AlexanderHamilton.
So, yeah, we were veryprosperous and somebody needed

(07:14):
to hijack that.
So that's why they had themeeting on Jekyll Island.
They fostered a fewmanufactured crises one in 1907.
That was the part of thebanksters, like JP Morgan.
And in 1910, they had themeeting over in Jekyll Island,
very secretive, matter of fact.
I did a show with David a fewmonths ago and I had just typed

(07:39):
in and the AI didn't know yetthat it was supposed to censor
itself.
And it actually said that themeeting at Jekyll Island on
November 22nd 1910 to form theFederal Reserve was a conspiracy
.
It didn't know.
It was a secretive meeting,right, it was not meant to be
open to the public.
And we're going to talk aboutthe.

(07:59):
There's an article I saved overthe last week that I thought
I'd talk to you about today,just to lay out the reasons why
the Federal Reserve is bad.
I mean, let's just kind of getback to basics, as we're having
these financial arguments, withTrump talking about replacing
the income tax with tariffs.
That's a good thing.
It's a good thing to replacethe income tax with tariffs.

(08:20):
We did it before.
70% of all the revenue in thiscountry before 1913 came from
tariffs.
The rest was internalconsumption tax and you didn't
have a Social Security number.
You weren't a wage slave payinginterest to a bunch of
Luciferian banksters.
That's what the Federal ReserveCentral Banking System is.

(08:42):
It's not just bad economics,it's true evil.
That's where you get a deepstate.
The people that blew the headoff of JFK that's where they get
their funding right.
The people that pulled off 9-11, yeah, I said it that's where
they get their funding right.

(09:03):
If you want to track back andtrace all of the evil in the
world.
Jesus knew this.
This is why he threw the moneychangers out of the temple.
There's nothing wrong withmoney.
It's those who love and lustfor it.
It's those who would kill andthose who would destroy
civilizations to obtain it andtheir power.
That's what we want to expose.
But that's a great experiment,don't you think?

(09:24):
None of the progressives, noneof the left?
It's such a fake ideology.
There's no substance in it.
You're literally funded by thepeople you think you're going to
hurt.
And those people fund you tohurt the regular folk, the
working class, the people thatwant to have the middle class.
That's where you soak with yourtaxes.

(09:46):
The working class, the peoplethat want to have the middle
class.
That's where you soak with yourtaxes.
It's the people that would liketo compete and make a better
widget or a better product or abetter way than the ultra
wealthy and their monopolies andtheir stifling of civilization
and any sort of progress.
That's who you're taxing.
There's stifling ofcivilization and any sort of

(10:08):
progress.
That's who you're taxing.
Wouldn't that be a great?
That would be a great levelingand exposure.
Just a thought experiment Likeget the world's richest people
to sign on right now to a noincome tax.
Maybe three people, maybe one.
Would Elon Musk sign it?
Somebody right there would belike one signature.
The rest, all the whole Davoscrowd.
They applaud and love theincome tax, yay.

(10:31):
Doesn't that just by default,expose the left as just
completely intellectuallybankrupt, like not even knowing
their origin story.
They don't even know where theycame from.
They don't even knowing theirorigin story.
They don't even know where theycame from.

(10:52):
They don't even know who fundsthem.
It's fake.
Think about that.
Davos would not be for that.
The World Economic Forum is notfor that.
By the way, they push agraduated income tax at 15% oh,
that was a minimum.
And another thing, folks.
15% oh that was a minimum, andanother thing, folks.
With all of that, the reasonit's not opposed by the wealth,
the super wealthy, I mean.
Obviously it's opposed by realentrepreneurs and people that

(11:14):
build stuff.
I'm talking about thegenerational wealth people and
the eyes wide shut EpsteinIsland weirdos.
Okay, they don't oppose theincome tax because it helps them
control things and you knowwhat else.
It's also a part of theCommunist Manifesto.
See, we've adopted all 10planks of the Communist

(11:37):
Manifesto in this country andmaybe next show.
I didn't pull it up becausethis is just off the top of my
head, but we should go throughthe 10 planks.
And the fifth plank is acentral bank, but another one is
graduated income tax.
It's like we followed to theletter the communist manifesto.

(11:58):
So if you're really going totalk about going back to the
late you know 1890s, that's agreat model.
But you have to have no incometax and you have to do something
about the 16th Amendment.
And so is there a politicalwill in this country to do that?
I'm glad he's talking about it.
It's an interesting thoughtexperiment because that's what I
believe in.

(12:18):
But I don't know that.
As I got told David Knight thismorning, I've ran for office in
the Republican Party.
I ran for Congress.
I was in a primary contest andI know the voters and I know the
establishment and I know theideology behind the
establishment.
They do not truly oppose theincome tax, nor do they want

(12:44):
tariffs.
So there has to be a wreck.
You have to show them that itworks.
I mean, we have amnesia in thiscountry, but that really did
work.
That's why they hijacked it.
That's why you have 1913.
And 1913 is the four horsemenof the political apocalypse.
First of all, if you don't knowthe history behind 1913, in 1912

(13:07):
, you had an election, williamHoward Taft, and then they threw
in Teddy Roosevelt.
He was funded by the banksters,jp Morgan being one of them
funded Roosevelt against Taft asan independent, and I like
Teddy Roosevelt, but he was theone that brought down a very
conservative president, williamHoward Taft, who all he ever

(13:30):
wanted to be was a Supreme Courtjustice, and he opposed the
Federal Reserve.
Do you understand where this isgoing?
So they brought in this, youknow, ivy League professor
Woodrow Wilson, the only PhD,presidentd, president, and
that's where you get once.
He won because of Roosevelt.

(13:52):
They bring in this handlercalled Colonel Mandel House.
Mandel House had wrote a book,was it the?
The administration of PhilipDrew, I believe.
Oh, philip Drew administrator,and it was all about how this
like socialist utopia wasbrought about through executive

(14:13):
change and all this stuff.
Who was he?
Well, he was an agent of highfinance and he lived in the
White House and he wasn't acolonel, but his name was
Colonel Mandel House.
You can look this up.
Fdr had the same kind ofhandler.
His name was Harry Hopkins andhe lived in the White House and
he was an agent of high finance.
Do you kind of see the patternhere?
So you get Woodrow Wilson in1913, and that's when all of the

(14:41):
again the Luciferian New WorldOrder-ish agenda gets shoved
down your throat.
You get the income tax, whichmost people don't understand,
like the 16th Amendment that wasso outside of the American
experiment in character.
We weren't supposed to havethat.
It was in 1898, I believe, theSupreme Court reaffirmed that

(15:06):
the income tax wasunconstitutional.
That's why they had to have anamendment to the Constitution.
So they have the 16th Amendment, then you get the 17th
Amendment, which is the directelection of senators, which I
know it sounds like, oh,democracy, and we're going to
have a popular vote.
You do not want that.
Do not want that.

(15:27):
You want the checks andbalances and you want the
separation of having your statelegislature choose your senators
, because, one, it makes yourstate legislator a lot more
powerful and it breaks up theability for these multinational
corporations and other nefariousforces to just buy a candidate.
So it didn't really becomedirect election of senators by
the people.
Of the 17th Amendment, itbecame direct election of

(15:49):
senators by the bankers.
So that's the 17th Amendment.
So, like direct things, thefounding fathers had the checks
and balances set in place.
The more that you have likemore voting doesn't really equal
more freedom.
It's not the way that thatworks.
You have to have separation ofpowers.
That's what a republic is.
A democracy is two wolves and asheep arguing over what's for

(16:13):
dinner.
Right?
That's Benjamin Franklin'squote.
So you get that.
You get the income tax, you getthe Federal Reserve and then
you get the first free tradepolicies, which a complete
departure from what made thiscountry strong in the first
place.
So Trump's talking about abygone era when things actually
worked.
You know that it's saying if it, if it's not, if it ain't broke

(16:34):
, don't fix it.
Well, they came in and fixed it, and the reason is they needed
to plunge us into the cataclysmsthat were bankers, wars of the
20th century.
They're slaughter pens.
Raise your hand if you knowwhat World War I was about.
Well, I know what it's about,but it had nothing to do with

(16:55):
what the Nobody in the historybooks or the history department
really knows what it's abouteither.
They just know that it had tobe in it.
We had to get over there.
It's just a creativedestruction.
It's a grand chessboard bypsychopaths putting people in
collision with each other andtesting out new weaponry and
slowing the advance ofcivilization and hijacking the
money supply and all the thingsthat are just so awful.

(17:17):
We talk about them here.
You don't see the world.
I'm sorry.
If you listen to my show,you'll never see the world the
same again.
You're welcome.
If you listen to my show,you'll never see the world the
same again, so you're welcome.
But that's a long way to saythat.
It's a thought experiment.
We're going to watch thisreally close.
I'm glad that this is aconversation piece because the

(17:38):
rest of the world's takingnotice and they're already
starting to trade the stocks andthe markets are already
starting to trade on thesepolicies actually being
implemented, which create a weakdollar which, by the way, in
the precious metals business andwhat's going on with that.
Do you think inflation is goingaway anytime soon?

(17:59):
Let me put this on the screen.
Let's talk about this.
This is Zero Hedge.
Inflation storm leaves Americansmore reliant on food banks.
Emily Englehart, vice Presidentof Research of Feeding America,

(18:24):
told Bloomberg that elevatedand persistent inflation ushered
in a new era of food insecurity, emphasizing that this is no
longer an unemployment issue.
Feeding America, the largestcharity working to end hunger in
the US, has a nationwidenetwork of more than 200 food
banks and feed more than 46million people through their

(18:45):
food pantries, soup kitchens,shelters and other
community-based agencies.
Everyone sees prices gettinghigh food, clothes, everything.
Kirsten Eshock told Bloomberg,who recently visited a food bank
in London County, virginia.
She said the inflationnightmare over the last several
years depleted her pocketbook.

(19:06):
Well, by design, I think.
I read to you a couple of weeksago that, where Janet Yellen had
said that she's starting tothink, an outgoing Treasury
Secretary and former head of theFederal Reserve former Fed
chair said that she was startingto think.
Outgoing Treasury Secretary andformer head of the Federal
Reserve former Fed chair saidthat she was starting to think

(19:29):
that the COVID stimulus hadsomething to do with inflation.
I'm not making that headline up, by the way.
Only the best and brightest.
Yeah, I wonder if the massive,unprecedented creation of the
money supply, I wonder if themassive, unprecedented creation
of money supply, I wonder if ithad anything to do with
inflation.
Janet, you just never know withthese people.
It says a surge in groceryprices helped drive a food

(19:55):
sufficiency problem.
There's a.
The food bank in Flagstaff,arizona, said that the food bank
broke records in 2022 byserving an average of 28,000
meals per month.
That figure has now surged to astaggering 40,000 meals per

(20:18):
month, driven by inflationarypressures unleashed during the
Biden Harris administration.
Well, okay, it's both parties,and I try to remind people
because I've paid attention topolitics since I was a little
kid.
I mean talking late 80s.
I was a weird kid.
I'd watch the presidentialdebates in 88.

(20:38):
I often tell that story.
I was watching live when LloydBenson told Dan Quayle that I
knew Jack Kennedy.
You know Jack Kennedy.
I remember that.
So I've been paying attentionto politics for a long time and
something happened, because thisused to be a big argument.
Remember the debt clock?
We had the debt clock.

(20:58):
You know Newt Gingrich wasrunning on the contract with
America or contract for Americaor whatever it was, and he was
running on that.
We're going to.
You know they had a budgetaryconstraint.
They're going to work with theClinton White House.
We're going to balance thebudget.
And then for a time theyactually did.
I mean, they stopped the debtclock, if you can believe that.

(21:18):
But somewhere along the way,especially post 9-11, everything
is off the table.
They don't even talk about itanymore.
That's your cue.
That's your cue that it's not.
That problem's not going to getsolved.
It's going to solve itself byreaching the bottom right.
It's just something that theyknow.
They're running the simulations.

(21:39):
Why do you think that Larry Finkof BlackRock is in Davos
telling that Larry Fink ofBlackRock is in Davos telling
the fellow lizards, or whateveryou want to call them, why do
you think he's in Davos tellingthem that Bitcoin is going to
hit 700,000?
Well, it's priming the pump toswitch the entire financial

(22:02):
system.
That's what they're doing.
This is, if they, a rush forthe door right now is the wrong
way.
I's what they're doing.
A rush for the door right nowis the wrong way.
I mean, they're not going tostart telling you what to do to
prepare for the completeupheaval and upending of the
entire financial network andsystem worldwide, are they?
No, that's why you have me.
You have the chaos of my brain,interpreting different things

(22:25):
and different headlines and thenfiltering through history and
say wait, wait, wait.
That's why you're saying that.
Because seven hundred thousanddollar price Bitcoin, ladies and
gents, is the market cap ofgold.
That's what you have to.
Seven hundred thousand dollarBitcoin means that Bitcoin then
rivals the market cap of gold,which is a tiny 16 and a half

(22:47):
trillion, which, given the factthat the world is supposedly 400
trillion in assets or whateverit is, that's tiny.
It doesn't even make any senseto me that that's the smallest
market cap, a lot of thesethings that you're watching
right now and these cues.
They know that this is going tocontinue and the wealth

(23:11):
disparity will only get worsebecause, in order to even carry
out some of the economicpolicies and there will be a
softer landing, if you've gotsomebody like if Trump's talking
about cutting taxes and he'ssaying, build things here, this
is magnificent.
I applaud that because I'm aneconomic nationalist.
However, you need a weak dollarto do that right now, because
we gutted America, we sold offand pawned off America's soul.

(23:35):
You have no idea, if you're notpaying attention, how much was
actually redirected from theWest post-1973.
You guys know the timeline.
I've said it a million times,but 71, we go off the gold
standard.
72, we open China.
73 is the birth of theTrilateral Commission.
These are things that areimportant to learn.

(23:57):
By the way, 71 was also thebirth of the World Economic
Forum.
Any coincidence there?
When, know, when, we started theentire fiat experiment, which
is really it's a shell game andit's sleight of hand to redirect
infrastructure?
See, true wealth is aboutproduction.
How much can you make?
What can you make?
At what cost?

(24:18):
Do you have resources?
Do you have steel?
Do you have rare earth minerals.
It's the golden rule he who hasthe gold makes the rules.
But when you go fake and you gofrom a production economy what
built America to a consumptioneconomy, you start to get weak.
And this was the purpose ofwhere we are Everything's
floating on fake Now.

(24:41):
America has the bestentrepreneurs.
I believe we have the bestworkers still, even with all the
damage that's done, becauseAmerica is built on that.
We're in the shadow of a shadowof what we used to be, but
we're still America.
This was redirected after 1973.
There's another key, importantyear.
That was the year that we ranour last trade surplus in this

(25:05):
country.
We didn't ever run one again.
That means that we exportedmore than we imported.
That was not part of theAmerican experiment.
So after 73, we never did itagain ever.
So all of that, the deficits wehad to go somewhere.
It's not in a vacuum.
Well, it goes eastward and itgoes to places like China, and

(25:26):
they just used our old textbook.
They had high tariffs.
Their tariffs are massive.
You can't hardly get in there.
But they want and they preachand they go around the world
saying free trade, right, it'sits best for them.
I mean, it's best for them todump their stuff into markets
and crush those markets.
This is warfare by other means.
Well, you can't blame them.

(25:52):
We gave them the keys to thekingdom, we introduced all these
free trade policies and startedgutting American manufacturing.
And looking at what happens,there's a reason they call it a
Rust Belt.
All this was redirected andthis is back again.
This is me coming back aroundsaying what's happened to
America and the manufacturing.
In order to bring it back, youstill need a weaker dollar,
which still points to inflation.
So there's no way out of theinflation game.

(26:14):
It doesn't matter at this pointin the system.
It doesn't matter.
Now.
You can expand and grow equityand have assets and other things
, and there's some really goodsilver linings to all of this
that's happening right now,especially if there's just a

(26:37):
psychological feel for theeconomy, the psychological
confidence.
That's what FDR was talkingabout.
You know, the only thing wehave to fear is fear itself.
It was written by.
By the way, you got that fromNapoleon Hill, who wrote Think
and Grow Rich.
By the way, just a little sidenote of history, you've never
heard anywhere else, but he knewthat it was psychological.
He told people that before hegot did his inaugural.
He's like if I'm, you've got tobe able to be an expansive

(27:03):
president, you've got to be ableto do this.
And that he said if I don't,I'll be the last president.
So he knew how volatile it wasand people, they had a banking
holiday, remember, because therewas going to be a run on the
banks and he needed to increasethe money supply.
So he made gold illegal.
Well, he made it.
Where you couldn't hoard gold,right, the average citizen, it's

(27:24):
your birthright to be able tohouse your wealth.
He said no, no, no, we'll dothat for you.
We'll use this, you know.
But they expanded the moneysupply.
They took gold from $20 anounce to $35 an ounce and told
you to turn it in.
But they didn't raise it tillafter you turned it in.
So you know, I'm sure HarryHopkins told him to do that.
So inflation is part of ourfuture.
It's just built into the system.

(27:45):
It's better if it's in aroaring economy.
Ask the Venezuelans.
In the past five years,supermarket food prices have
jumped 28%, roughly matching theincrease seen in the 15 years
before the onset of COVID.
Wow, everything has gone up,said Norma Rivera, working

(28:08):
single mother of two, during aninterview at the Food for Others
food pantry in Fairfax,virginia.
Adding $50 is nothing in thegrocery store.
Well, I agree with that and thatthe only way that this gets
solved is through the spirit ofentrepreneurism and creativity,

(28:29):
and I think that spirit ofmaking things again, bringing
products to market for a lowercost.
You know competition again, butthat's not what we had during
the lockdowns.
You know we had.
You were non-essential if youweren't big box.

(28:50):
See how that's just done somuch lasting damage.
And it's not just theBiden-Harris deal, I mean this.
We got locked down in 2020,folks Never forget that.
I certainly won't.
This is a zero hedge tweet.
59% of Americans don't haveenough savings for a $1,000

(29:13):
emergency.
Well, even if you have $1,000too, is $1,000 going to be worth
?
Worth a thousand dollars thatit is today, in two years, 24
months, 36 months?
No, it's a trillion dollars indebt every 90 days.

(29:33):
And in order to fulfill allthese promises and the bloated
Leviathan and all the rest ofthe stuff, they're going to have
to continue to print.
So even in the best of times,you still have inflation.
So it's best if you're going tobe, if you know this, then

(29:54):
house your wealth in somethingthat is finite, that is not
ubiquitous, that is not printedinto oblivion.
And that's the only way, andyou'll have to, you know.
I think the old model doesn'twork anymore too.
I mean working longer andlonger hours for less and less

(30:14):
pay.
It's absolutely right.
Inflation is here to stay.
Most consumers have maxed outcredit cards and depleted
personal savings.
Yes, and then it starts showingcredit card loan defaults up in

(30:34):
2024.
Almost getting close tomatching where it was in 2010.
That was a massive fallout fromthat Inflation storm has
transformed most of the nationinto Walmart shoppers.
Yes, well, it makes youthankful for what you have if

(31:00):
you have the opportunity to stayahead of the ball, which is
very, very hard to do,especially if you want to grow
something.
This is more and moreregulation, more and more
competition.
That's the name of the game.
I want to jump around here too.
Let's go to the chat.

(31:20):
I always neglect the chat, bythe way.
If you're listening to my voiceon WWCR or you're finding us on
the podcast, if you want towatch the live video feed, you
can do that over on Rockfin onthe America Unplugged channel.
Same thing with Rumble.
Go to the America Unpluggedchannel.

(31:41):
I'm going to start somethingfor Paratroother too, like
Paratroother radio channel, sostay in touch for that.
I'll probably have that up andrunning next week and you can
find on my Twitter or X orwhatever at Tony Arterburn.
We're streaming live there.
Let me make sure I've got acouple of comments on Rockfin.
Let me check that out too.

(32:01):
I almost forgot I was going.
I did the Rockfin stream.
Right in the middle of goinglive I got Chris Graves in the
chat.
Good to see Chris.
Greg Talent, jason Barker.
Good to see you guys over there.
Beelzebub, beelzebub I likethat, that's funny.

(32:23):
Yeah, we'll check the livestream over on.
Let me check Rumble too.
Hold on, stand by, so I don'twant this to play through.
There we go.
Harp says powerful stuff.
Tony, 100%.
Yeah, good to see you.

(32:44):
Well, thank you.
I says uh, high harps to tonylooking sharp.
Well, thank you, I've I've.
You know, it's kind of a weirdseason.
I like, uh, I have a lot of mycollar tees and stuff, and then
it's like too cold for that, andthen some of my shirts are too
stuffy.
I had I sent Houston over toget my dry cleaning.

(33:08):
It's like I need my shirts.
I've been wearing T-shirts witha, with a hoodie, but I decided
to go just a little, just intoa little bit of ai and then I'll
see if I can get it through thelast article I want.

(33:31):
There's a 11 reasons why thefederal reserve is bad.
I thought that was fun.
Maybe we can blast through it,uh, at the end of the show.
That's how these shows go.
I always pick out four or fivearticles and I'm like wait, I
can, I can, it's so much, it'sso much shorter than I ever
think it is.
Okay, let's, let's talk aboutthis.
This is the other side of thecoin.

(33:53):
You know, I think if you, if youaren't willing to adapt, what
does the army say?
What's the motto is adapt andovercome.
I had this theory back in 2008or so, just going in before the
crash and running a largeconvenience store and gas
station and I saw the inflationhappening.

(34:15):
I saw like and it wasn'tnecessarily inflation, but the
market was pushing prices and Ihad this theory that everything
is in flux and basically, ifyou're going to have a chance, a
snowball's chance in hellmaking it in the post.

(34:35):
Because I felt like this wascoming and I mean it's funny.
I look back on my.
I had no expertise in this, Ijust got level.
I started looking into to kindof alternative finance research,
because what I was seeing onthe ground wasn't matching what
I was seeing on mainstream.
Imagine that.
So I was 28 years old and Icame up with the term.

(34:56):
I was like this dynamicadaptation is the way that you
have to be as an entrepreneur orsomebody bringing something to
market, because tying yourselfto the past is like something
Lord Acton said that the failingof most people in politics is
sticking to the carcasses ofdead policies.

(35:16):
So I try not to do that.
I try not to be too tetheredand rigid, sticking to something
that obviously hasn't borne out.
So, on one hand, I welcometechnology and innovation, but
I'm very skeptical of whocontrols it.
So it's the same thing with thedot-com bubble in the late 90s,
early 2000s that imploded andthat really was market turmoil

(35:40):
and a lot of things were gone bythe wayside.
There was this big bubble andit burst and a lot of people got
hurt.
And then you move forward intothe housing bubble and you know
people is inflationary, really,because it was driving up prices
and then it was deflationaryafter the bubble.
Well, I start looking at thesame way with AI, and now you

(36:02):
can put crypto in that same lineof logic too, and we'll be
talking a lot about crypto here.
I mean, I love Bitcoin,innovation and I love that stuff
, but there's so much in thememe coins and the stuff.
It seems like there's a poisonpill.
I'm going to warn you thatthere is some kind of like I
don't know hidden backdoor worminto that market where they're

(36:24):
trying to kill it or somethingand they want to drive people
into it and implode it.
And we know this problemreaction solution it's another
term for it is Hegeliandialectic After the philosopher
Hegel in the 19th century, aboutintroducing controls and things
through thesis and antithesis.

(36:46):
So we'll get to that.
But something about AI one ispretty amazing and I like the
meme where it shows the kid fromTerminator 2, john Connor.
It's like John Connor watchingyou make friends with the AI.

(37:06):
You know, just like sodisappointed in you.
Let me put this up on thescreen, but this is up on
Natural News and we haven'ttalked about this yet here on
the show.
But this is Trump's Stargateproject Gateway to US AI
dominance or dystopian cyberpunknightmare?

(37:26):
Well, this is an open question,right?
It's not that necessarilytechnology is bad.
But you start really digginginto the motives of AI and I you
know whether it's Yuval Hararior Sam Altman or these guys.
They believe in the singularity, they believe in the merging of

(37:49):
man and machine, they believein the technocracy.
Yuval Harari doesn't evenbelieve in people.
I mean, that's why he's thedirector at the World Economic
Forum.
What is his title Historian,he's basically professor of
anti-humanity.

(38:11):
The US new 500 billion techinitiative promises to
revolutionize in quotations theAI, cement America as the
undisputed leader in advancedcomputing and create 100,000
jobs.
But it comes with grave riskfor humanity.

(38:32):
Here's why and this article isby Alia Tosnov off of Sputnik
Globe.
Well, it's coming from, nothere, so it's probably got a lot
of truth to it, and that's whatI find is most of my web
searches that I have to curatefrom Operation Mockingbird media

(38:54):
constantly.
The basics the Stargate projectis privately financed.
Plan to build 500,000 squarefeet AI data senders.
There's 10 under construction,10 more to come and grow from
there, pending support fromDonald Trump.
On the regulatory front, itsleading tech and financial

(39:14):
players include Sam Altman'sOpenAI, larry Ellison's Oracle,
japan's SoftBank and EmiratiSovereign Wealth Fund, mgx, arm,
nvidia and Microsoft.
Oh, microsoft, they finally getto use their patent 060606 if
they can just get the right AI.

(39:35):
Further details are sketchy,aside from the Financial Times
report revealing that theproject will serve OpenAI's
interests exclusively, timesreport revealing that the
project will serve open AI'sinterests exclusively, and open
AI's statement on lookingforward to the creation of
artificial general intelligence,the holy grail of human, like

(40:00):
cognitive capabilities inmachines.
Here's some of the red flags.
Per the article.
Altman and Ellison'sinvolvement are major warning
signs.
Altman is on the record as aprominent proponent of
transhumanist merge of humansand machines.
In 2017, he predicted thesingularity.
This is what you're going to behearing a lot more of folks and

(40:22):
don't even get me started onwe're going to do shows on
paratruth.
I really want to dig into 2027and some other milestones that
aren't picked up by even in themainstream alternative media.
There's a lot of stuff thatyou're going to have.
David knight ended the showtoday with me talking about
staying frosty.
Well, that's what we're goingto do, because this stuff is

(40:45):
really what's on the table.
Yeah, the politics and all theother stuff, and that's
important to watch, but this iswhere your mind should be
engaged in problem solving,because this is what's the
singularity things like that.
This would take place again.
He said they'll take placebetween 2025 and 2075 and that

(41:05):
super human AI, geneticenhancement and brain machine
interfaces were inevitability.
Well, if they're aninevitability, that's the end.
Right.
That's basically game over, andI think there's, in technology,
a summoning of of things.

(41:28):
Right.
That's why you can be, and Ithink, open to how there are
benefits to tech, but, at thesame time, where does it come
from?
What is what is?
What's its origin story?
Who built built it?
What are their true intentions?
Like the intention behindsomething he says he also is an

(41:50):
advocate of AI agents acting onhuman beings' behalf.
Ai agents acting on humanbeings' behalf online, via the
controversial World ID concept.
Controversial world ID concept.
As for Ellison, the 80-year-oldtech billionaire's controversial
views are well-known.
Last year, he toutedomnipresent AI cameras keeping

(42:16):
citizens on their best behaviorbecause we are constantly
recording and reportingeverything that's going on as a
good thing, and has been aproponent of a national and
digital id since 9-11.
Well, you see where this goesto right.
That's something that, um, thatthe rockefellers were openly
about about.
It's got to be national id.
We've got to do that.
We've got to get everybody inthe database and get them into a

(42:38):
super.
You know the, the servers undertheir guidelines, all the stuff
that they wanted to implementwith their new world order.
They openly admitted that, butit started with a database.

(42:58):
Ellison is also an advocate ofAI-driven mRNA cancer vaccines,
announcing at Stargate's rolloutthis week that the artificial
intelligence could help identifycancer via blood testing
followed by gene therapy.
Well, yeah, it's interesting.
And that's where you kind ofstart drawing some more lines
Like what is that?
First of all, we've alreadylived through 2021 and the

(43:22):
aftermath of Operation WarpSpeed and it's still going on
and all the rest of that.
And you know what is a vaccineand what is gene therapy?
And, um, the little nanobot,all this stuff that goes with
this, these technologies,so-called that.
You know it's always in theguise to save you or to do
whatever.
And may I remind you that thebeginning of the movie I am

(43:43):
legend starts off with this.
I remember watching that intheaters in like 08 and thinking
, well, that sounds about right.
Microsoft's involvement in theproject is also troubling, with

(44:05):
the company already planning tocommit $80 billion billion, with
a B, for its own separate AIdata centers to train and deploy
cloud-based AI worldwide.
Well, see, it starts out.
It's like the internet, right?
The internet used to bebasically the.
That's where you went for thetruth, or at least you could get
differing opinions.
And then they started to say,well, well, these websites, you

(44:27):
don't need a website, you goover to, we have these platforms
and we're we're the digitaltown square.
You come over here,everything's fine.
And they masked all of that.
And at the conjunction of 2016,when there was, uh, you know,
donald trump, and then this,this new political wave, they
said, oh, by the way, uh, nowyou can't do Trump.
And this new political wave,they said, oh, by the way, now
you can't do that.

(44:47):
And they start curating, as TimCook says, or Trump calls him
Tim Apple.
When you start curating andpulling things apart, you know
they start with things likeInfoWars, but it was like 800
other sites, giant purges at thesame time, and they would.
And it didn't matter thepolitical persuasion, it
mattered if they were againstthe surveillance state, military

(45:10):
industrial complex, didn'tmatter left or right, it just
mattered if you were against thepower structure or if you
called things out.
Then you got curated and wasthrown in the trash and that's
lasted, you know.
And then we have some and thereis a bounce back.
I do think we're better offtoday with speech than we were
three years ago, but it's aconstant battle.

(45:31):
It's eternal vigilance.
This is again.
Think about that $80 billion.
That's how bad.
You want to talk aboutinflation?
Remember what it used to bethat Microsoft was, that
Microsoft was Bill Gates, theworld's richest.
This is back in the 90s and itwas like oh, tens of billions of
dollars, that's nothing now,right?

(45:52):
A 2024 report by BusinessInsider revealed that real-life
supervillain Bill Gates remainsheavily involved in Microsoft's
AI strategies from its decisionto open AI grow to support
Altman's AI agent idea.
Yeah, folks, this is whatyou're watching.

(46:14):
Is the future they want tocontrol?
Who controls AI?
These are the open question.
Will it be a free market?
Will it be development?
Will it be decentralized, orcan they just centralize
everything?
They ruin everything bycentralizing it.
There's nothing new under thesun here.
The monopolists and the robberbarons did it at the end of the

(46:38):
19th century.
Going into the 20th century,you had writers like Jack London
who called himself a work beast.
He was a socialist because ofit, and they knew that, and
that's why they funded Karl Marx.
They needed an opposition, sothey got one.
That was ridiculous.
That's why they funded KarlMarx.

(46:59):
Look it up it's called theLeague of Just Men.
Yeah, that was a shadowy groupthat funded Marx and ties to the
Illuminati, and so that was setup as a way to offset that.
Because the monopolists knewthat there was going to be

(47:19):
political opposition, theywanted to continue it, though.
They wanted to continue theiramassing of wealth.
That's why they set up theirfoundations.
That's why they also pushed theincome tax.
Yeah, I hate to destroy yourentire political paradigm.
That's the left.
If you have leftist friends,have them look it up.
It's not real.

(47:42):
Your opposition was hijacked.
It's not real.
Things like Huey Long were real.
My friend Don Jeffries, whowrote Survival of the Richest
you should look at that book andhis affection for Hueui Long
and Yui Long was real.
He was the real deal, and Isupport a lot of things that Yui

(48:04):
Long stood for, because I am apopulist, but I'm not a co-opted
communist, and that's what alot of this stuff is, you know.
That's the question.
Can it be stopped?
However, there's a hitch inaltman's development plans, with
the financial time reveals thatstargate is an open ai
investment vehicle disguised asa national project, combined

(48:27):
with altman's very public feudwith fellow tech billionaire
billionaire elon musk, fallinginitiative's announcements
signaling trouble.
According to Musk, softbank hasactually secured less than $10
billion for Stargate so far.
Altman assures that's not thecase and accuses Musk of letting

(48:53):
private interests get in theway of what's great for the
country.
Well, maybe their greed willkeep this from being some sort
of boondoggle, some tech-driven,dystopian nightmare funded by
fake fiat tax dollars.
Let's see if we can maybe avoidthat.

(49:17):
Let me stop the screen here.
Yeah, we'll be talking a lotabout AI Because, again, I use
some AI stuff.
We're building a website rightnow for Wise Wolf Bitcoin and
we're excited about that.
We're using a lot of thecontent just making sure that
everything is worded the rightway to make sure that one we
explain things as efficiently aspossible and, you know, get you

(49:40):
the right information.
So a lot of that stuff's runthrough AI.
My brother's working on that,so something's going to be
really useful at commercials andadvertising and things.
That got a lot easier becauseAI and I've used it.
Last year at this time I got Ihad used it AI it was.
It was.
It seemed too good to be trueand I should have known better,

(50:02):
but it was not expensive at all.
I hooked my Google profiles upto it and it would generate
photos and it would make sure Iwas on all the databases and
everything else.
It got all my Google profilesfor my businesses thrown off.
I had to reestablish them.
It cost me a lot of money forthat little investment, so it's

(50:22):
not always great.
All right, let's see.
Well, we've got a short amountof time.
I think I can go through this.
Let's see.
Do you think we can do this ineight minutes?
I bet we can.
Well, I'll have to plug now,though.

(50:42):
Uh, just remember, uh, wise wolf, gold and silver and for all
your metals needs, if you needto roll over a 401k or ira, if
you're looking at the marketsand looking at it like I do, you
want to get out of paper andinto physical precious metals,
you go through Wise Wolf, and wealso have our subscription
program.
Don't forget that.

(51:04):
Okay, and even in times ofinflation uncertainty, it's good
to have some precious metals tofall back on, and a little $50
a month would get you startedover there.
And we do accept Bitcoin now.
No fee.
I just put out a press releasethat went live a couple of days
ago, and so we're the first inthe country to do that.

(51:26):
We treat Bitcoin as cash atWise Wolf.
Tell your friends, I'm proudthat I beat everybody to the
punch.
So that's what you got to dowhen you're small.
You just hit them from the side.
Do it a little bit different.
So glad to be be there doingthat and we'll see how I think
it'll have a symbioticrelationship to everything we do
.
So check that out.
And uh, promo code 1776 forfree silver.

(51:48):
All right, all right, let's lookat um.
Let's see 11 reasons why theFederal Reserve is bad.
This is good.
Let me put this let's do thisfull screen here, one second.
Let's do it like this.

(52:09):
I don't know, I try to.
There we go, there we go.
You can put me down at thebottom.
11 reasons why the FederalReserve is bad by Michael
Schneider.
This is he always does theselisticles and I find them to be
helpful.
But let's just go through hisreasons.
I won't read the—because wedon't have time.
I won't read the introduction,but number one the Federal
Reserve was created as a way toenslave the US government.

(52:30):
In fact, the Federal Reservesystem literally could not
function without US Treasurybonds.
Government debt is at the verycore of the system and our
federal government is nowtrapped in a debt spiral from
which you can never possiblyescape.
That is true, and I'm makingthese brief, but it's a snake
eating its own tail.
In order to pay off the debt,you'd have to create more debt.

(52:51):
It is a oh, it's evil geniusthe way that they did this.
Number two the individualFederal Reserve banks are not
federal at all.
In fact, on the officialwebsite of the Federal Reserve
Bank of St Louis, it openlyadmitted that the Federal
Reserve banks are not part ofthe federal government and that
private banks, in quotations,hold stock.
Yeah, creature from JekyllIsland.

(53:14):
I need to reread that just formy brain, just for having gone
through so many headlines.
It'll reset me.
I need to sit down and readthat G Edward Griffin classic
issue our currency exactly tocoin money, and it has to be
fixed in gold and silver, and so, ergo, it's unconstitutional.

(53:46):
That's not in our constitution.
Number four the federal reservecreates money out of thin air.
I asked google ai about thisand this is what it said yes,
the federal reserve createsmoney out of thin air by
increasing the money supply.
This process is called creatingmoney out of thin air because
it involves adding funds to theeconomy without printing
currency.
That's exactly right.
Ai doesn't know what to do.
It's still a baby and it'stelling the truth by accident.

(54:10):
Number five the Federal Reservedevalues our currency.
Since the Federal Reserve wascreated in 1913, the US dollar
has lost more than 96% of itspurchasing power.
How many times have you heardme say that?
Increase the money supply,decouple it from value.
That's the whole point.

(54:30):
That's the magic trick.
Number six the Federal Reservemanipulates the US economy by
setting interest rates.
Yes, and we know that it's thecontraction and the expansion of
the money supply throughinterest rates.
It's the only trick they reallyhave, and it can make it seem
like, oh, we've got everythingunder control.

(54:50):
But just remember what I saidabout long term.
It's like zero hedge, you know,or the Fight Club.
On a long enough timeline, thesurvival rate of everything
drops to zero.
The Federal Reserve alsocontrols the national money
supply.
That can pump trillions ofdollars into the economy or pull
trillions of dollars out of theeconomy without being
accountable to anyone.

(55:11):
That's exactly right so far.
This is the Communist Manifesto, folks Communist Manifesto.
It's why it's there.
The world's richest boughtcommunism.
They own it.
It is theirs.
Number eight the Federal Reservehas become far, far too

(55:33):
powerful.
Our financial markets swing upand down whenever a Fed official
makes an important statement.
Well, that's true and totallyoutside of what a free market
would look like.
Number nine the Federal Reserveis dominated by Wall Street and
the New York banks.
This is true, and they have asymbiotic relationship.

(55:54):
Remember looking at theearnings of a company very
important.
Why do they exist?
We have hundreds, hundreds ofzombie corporations left over
from the Great Recession.
Too big to fail, too big tojail.
The Federal Reserve hascompletely eliminated minimum

(56:15):
reserve requirements for ourbanks.
Fractional reserve banking hasalways been a way that the
bankers have conned the public,but now they've gotten rid of
minimum reserve requirementsaltogether.
Michael Snyder says this isliterally insane.
Yeah, that's what I've beensaying for years.
Jp Morgan said that gold wasmoney and everything else is
credit.

(56:35):
He's wrong.
And if you fast forward to ourtimeline, gold is money.
Everything else is credit.
He's wrong.
And if you fast forward to ourtimeline, gold is money.
Everything else is debt.
Literally, the creation ofcurrency is debt in and of
itself.
And number 11, it had to be 11too.
The Federal Reserve is notaccountable to the voters, and
Federal Reserve Chair JeromePowell is flaunting the fact

(56:57):
that he cannot even be fired byPresident Trump.
Well, does that surprise anyone?
But it's always good to go backto the catacombs, it's good to
go back to fundamentals, and I'mglad that this program.
We're on episode 497.

(57:19):
I haven't uh my views on this,on the fed, on the creation of
money out of thin air, on whodoes that and why and how evil
that is.
I've just become more and morepronounced on my opposition to
it.
But we've explored a lot ofthings together here on this
program.
I appreciate everybody whotunes in Paratruther.

(57:42):
We're going to be recording alittle bit later today and I'll
have that out with Danny Mercyof the Rabbit Hole Conspiracies
podcast and she's going to be on.
I might run it live.
I'll let you guys know.
We'll see about the schedule.
But we appreciate you, frommyself, the crew and Beans to
Brave.
We hope you have a wonderfulweekend.

(58:04):
You take care of each other.
End of transmission.
