#507 War Hawks Circle as the Dollar Weakens

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
We have before us the opportunity to forge, for
ourselves and for futuregenerations, a new world order.
Good evening folks.
You're listening to the Hour ofthe Time.
I'm William Cooper.
The chair is against the wall.
The chair is against the wall.
John has a long mustache.

(00:21):
John has a long mustache.
It's 12 o'clock, americans,another day closer to victory.
And for all of you out there onor behind the lines, this is
your song Time, weather andhighways.
Veteran of three foreign wars,entrepreneur and warrior, poet,

(00:44):
tony Arterburn takes on theissues facing our country,
civilization and planet.
This is the Arterburn RadioTransmission.
We'll be right back.
So you know I've told thisstory before when I was on

(01:48):
tinfoil hat, back around the endof 2024.
There's a parable, a lesson inhistory.
It goes back to the 6th centuryBC with the king of Lydia.
It was Croesus.
It goes back to the 6th centuryBC with the king of Lydia,
cresus.
We know Cresus, if you studythe history of gold and money,

(02:18):
that Cresus was the first kingto coin gold and use it as money
.
And that's where you get.
I mean, go back to the study ofthat.
And it has electrum, which isthe mixture of silver and gold
together, and they make thefirst coins and that's the
monetary history.
But there's a little sidebar tothat, and that is when Croesus

(02:40):
amasses his, gets to the heightof his power and he looks over
to his neighbors.
He looks over to Persia, whichis the Persian Empire, and they
had a massive amount of gold.
They didn't use it in themonetary sense, they used it in
the religious sense.
It was the accumulation of it,it was metaphysical to them, and

(03:02):
they had great stores of gold.
They were very wealthy, but ina different kind of way than
what croesus was.
But croesus decided that hewanted to take on the persian
empire, he wanted to rule it.
So he knew that if he needed toget the best intelligence and
back then intelligence andprobably not so much different

(03:23):
today he would go to, uh, themystics, he go to his psychics,
go to the oracles, right, andhe'd send out.
He sent out a decree and hesaid uh, basically, if, if you
can guess what I'm doing yousent out to all the so-called
seers and prophets andeverything else and he sent them
to all the and the land,everything that was known at the

(03:45):
time, and he sent out aquestion If you can tell me what
I'm doing this evening.
You know that I'm writing thisletter.
If you can tell me what I'mdoing, uh, and you can see into
that, then I'll shower you withgold and you will be in my court
, right?
So only one got it right, andthat was the Oracle of Delphi

(04:10):
and wrote back and said I seewhat you're doing.
Oddly enough, he was doingsomething.
He was cooking something reallyweird.
It was like a turtle and arabbit and a stew, something
like that.
And Croesus gets very excited.
He says great, I found my seer,I found my oracle.
And showers the oracle withgold.
And then he asks the oraclewhat happens if I attack Persia?

(04:37):
And the oracle says if youattack Persia, a great empire
will fall.
And so Croesus gathers his armyand all of his strength and
everything and he runs headlonginto this invasion of Persia and
it's absolutely disastrous andan empire did fall Croesus'

(04:58):
empire.
The Oracle never said which one, but that's the way he took it,
and I was thinking about thatat the end of last year, going
into 2025 and looking down thebarrel of you know what does
this second Trump presidencymean?

(05:19):
Because I know a lot of theplayers and the people that are
behind the political gears whatthey actually believe.
And if you actually really knewwhat they, it would terrify you
, because they're not believe.
Don't believe what you believe.
See, I know something because Iwas.
I ran inside the mechanism ofthis thing and I've studied this

(05:42):
for years.
And the surface, surface-levelFox News sound clips.
That isn't real, because thepeople that get to these higher
upper echelons of power do youthink Lindsey Graham has
anything in common with you?
He gets overwhelmingly electedby Christians and people that
think so-called believe in peaceand prosperity and free markets

(06:06):
.
Do you think the neoconestablishment cares about your
Christian ideology or yourbeliefs or the constitution or
this country?
Really they care about anothercountry.
They're very much centered on aforeign nation and that is

(06:29):
their raison d'etre, that isthat, that's their existence,
that's the whole purpose of themand you can see it.
They'll window dress and tellyou that they care about the
second amendment or they careabout borders, but really, at
the end of the day, what reallyanimates them?
And you can hear it in theirtalk shows and you can see it in
their commentary, and theydon't even back it up with
anything intellectual.

(06:50):
It's even more terrifying.
They just have feelings, aswe've seen from Tucker, carlson
and Ted Cruz.
But I've been saying this foryears.
It's been an interestingjourney through the wilderness
because I kept telling peoplethis isn't real what you're
watching.
It is real, right, it isn'treal.

(07:12):
And it's sad because we're onthe brink of something totally
unnecessary that will escalate.
That's how these things doescalate.
That's how these things do.
It's funny if you read thehistory of war and I know it's
too much to ask ourestablishment, it's too much to
ask the people that rule over usto read or think or feel or be

(07:36):
human beings.
It's really hard for thembecause they're too busy running
your life, enhancing their ownpower or whatever, whatever
their eyes wide shut parties orwhatever they do.
And it's too much of a burdenon the mainstream media or the
legacy media or anybody that hasa voice in this thing to have
read any history on how warfareworks.

(07:59):
And you know, I have to run myown show and talk about things
that matter because I'm just aparatrooper that likes books,
okay, and I learned a thing ortwo about history.
And it always starts out likethis the boys will be home by
Christmas.
Did you know?

(08:19):
In the Civil War they showed up.
They made a picnic out of it,like the first couple of.
You know it'd been a while.
We'd had the Revolutionary War,and that's a different
generation.
And then you have the War of1812, and there's some
skirmishes here and there.
We had the Mexican-American War.
It's kind of isolated, it'sdown there.
So when, by the time the CivilWar rolls around, all the gentry

(08:43):
loaded up, they got theirwagons and you know, they put
their lady up there on the benchand say we're going to go down
and watch a picnic.
The war is on, isn't it exciting?
And then they get down thereand then cannonballs are ripping
through people's legs andbullets are flying and people's

(09:06):
faces are coming apart.
Oh, that wasn't so much fun,was it?
And that's what you get Allthese idiots on Fox News and all
the people that call in andthese armchair warriors.
You're so tough Like LindseyGraham.
Lindsey Graham, he's going tocall, he's going to send you.
If he doesn't send your kidover there to die, then he's
going to call, he's going tosend.
If he doesn't send your kidover there to die, then he's
going to die.

(09:26):
Well, I mean, it's thebreathless cowardice of somebody
who's always advocating war.
I tell you that the people thatI found in my the greatest
warriors I've ever met.
These are restrained people.
You show me somebody callingfor war all the time and banging
their fist on the table anddoing all.

(09:47):
I'll show you a coward.
I'll show you somebody who'sunhinged, who's going to run
when things get tough.
That's the way those guysalways do and that's what we're
being led by right now.
It's absolutely disgusting towatch.
I'm embarrassed.
Talked to Melissa this morningabout it.
She's the same thing.

(10:08):
It's like I'm embarrassed.
This is embarrassing.
There's no wisdom here.
I knew this was coming.
It doesn't make it any easier,I guess, because this is going
to draw lines.

(10:30):
We were on the verge of actuallyaccomplishing something.
You realize that too.
We could have accomplishedsomething here.
We need a new monetary system.
We need to rebuild the country.
It's time for newinfrastructure.
It's time for fiscalresponsibility.
It's time for fiscalresponsibility.
It's time for the rule of law.
It's time for us to establish aconsensus on what free speech

(10:56):
is, all that stuff that was soimportant.
But we're going to get drownedout by the needs of this foreign
nation that drags us into war,because they captured the minds
and hearts of all these millionsof people that believe it's
God's will To support a nationstate?
That has nothing to do with theBible and, by the way, even if

(11:20):
it did, where I can't find in mynew Testament, where we're
supposed to have genocide andnuclear weapons, and I forget
the part where Jesus said thatshow it to me, can't find it in
there.
You know, jesus said I come notto bring peace, but but the
sword.
Do you really know what thatmeans?

(11:42):
Do you think it was a literalsword?
It's supposed to sever you fromyour thoughts and materialism,
sever you from the darkness of apull of your soul to power or

(12:06):
something of this world.
The sword is to cut that.
It's to sever you from this.
You want to be tied to thissymbiotically.
You see what happens in Gaza.
Do you know what kind ofnation-state does preemptive
strikes?
We did that, by the way.

(12:26):
How'd that work out?
What's the latest from theutopia in Iraq?
I wasn't greeted as a liberator.
I was greeted with handgrenades.
I was greeted with sniper fireIEDs.
I was greeted with sniper fireIEDs.

(12:49):
No lawmaker was on the ground.
I didn't see Paul Wolfowitz onthe ground with me, who wrote up
the Wolfowitz memorandum.
I didn't see him there.
I didn't see Donnie Rumsfeldfly in and take a look around
with me and see all the Kurdishkids' homes that were bombed
into oblivion.
Or see the Iraqi lady that wasscreaming and tearing her hair

(13:09):
out because all of her kids werekilled at a checkpoint.
Or the Iraqi cops that wereunfortunate, just had an
intersection of history in theirlives to join whatever
coalition and get chopped up.
Or the family that gotindiscriminately murdered at
their dinner table because theyjust happened to be on the wrong

(13:31):
side.
No, it was glorious.
Thanks, dick Cheney.
How'd you like that Freudianslip by George W Bush?
He's reading his own.
This happened, by the way.
I just thought of it.
I should pull up the clip.
He was talking about Putininvading Ukraine and he said the

(13:55):
madman, or whatever it was, theterroristic invasion of Iraq.
See, even they have to have aconscience sometimes.
So we're on the precipice ofthis.
I hope I'm wrong.
You know, when 9-11 happened,we were about $5 trillion in

(14:20):
debt, folks.
It took us from 1776 to 2001 togo $5 trillion in debt.
We're at $36 trillion in debt.
Boy, they sure did a good job.
Those fiscal conservatives havebeen in power many times.
They had the leadership ofDenny Hassard, a pedophile.
Longest-serving RepublicanSpeaker of the House in history.

(14:42):
Longest serving Republicanspeaker of the house in history.
Pass the Patriot Act, rememberthis guy.
That's why, when I see thosebillboards and the Texas red
yeah, red's the color ofcommunism Not going to do that,
and apparently I'm right,apparently that that's kind of
what they want to do, becausethis is something.
Perpetual war, like JamesMadison said, a Republic cannot

(15:03):
survive in that.
It cannot survive in theenvironment of perpetual war.
Like james madison said, arepublic cannot survive in that
cannot survive in theenvironment of perpetual war.
So I'm just that.
Look, you can believe what youwant to believe.
But this sort of this action inhistory, this, this, we're on
the precipice of it and it's.
You know, maybe I'm wrong,maybe there will be a pullback

(15:27):
and a negotiation, maybe it willbe something, but I've seen
this movie and I've talked aboutit this morning.
I was on with gar goldsmith.
I was naive at 22, 23.
I was like, well, hey, theweapons inspectors are in the.
You know, hans blix is in iraqand got all these people on the
ground and they're destroyingstuff and it's live on TV and

(15:47):
maybe it will stop Then March18th 2003,.
The bombs start falling and I'mlike, oh well, I got my orders,
I got to go.
Got to go find those weaponsthat aren't there for that
neocon class project and don'tget me started.
Literally, modern conservatismis like two clicks away from

(16:07):
satanism.
You realize that I mean like,and I I wouldn't say that if I
didn't have all the evidence.
You can look this up foryourself.
It's look carl marx, right?
Do we agree that carl marx wasa pretty evil individual like
you.
You talk about his ideology.
It's killed millions andmillions of destroyed lives,

(16:28):
countless lives, upheavals.
It's a mass, grave ideology.
Where do you think that comesfrom?
So Marxism you click just alittle bit over and you get
which is Leon Trotsky?
Leon Trotsky and Lenin are thecreators of the Bolshevik state
in Russia, absolute Marxists.
They were loaded down with goldby the world's richest people.

(16:52):
It's so funny.
I don't know why colleges leavethis out, but maybe I do Because
it has to be like oh, we'reagainst the man.
The man funds you.
That's how everything works.
That's why I talked about, likelast week who funded the no
Kings protest has to havefunding.

(17:13):
Let's a click away.
And then, of course, modernconservatism is neoconservatism
and that is Irving Kristol.
Irving Kristol was a followerof Leon Trotsky.
You see, we're careening intothat.
It's not that far removed.
It's not Edmund Burke.
I was reading a small biographyon Edmund Burke the last couple
of days and just how about?

(17:36):
Tradition is important.
History matters.
This was a great thinker aboutwhat conservatism actually was.
Conservatism isn't an ideology,it's the absence of one.
It means that history mattersto you more than revolution.
Russell Kirk was the same way.

(17:57):
I know I'm throwing out somenames here that Ben Shapiro
wouldn't recognize your hero.
Whoever Ben Shapiro wouldn'trecognize your hero.
The millions of followers thatthis guy argues with stunted
minds at college campuses.
It makes him some sort ofintellectual giant.
But that's the people that pushfor war.

(18:18):
See, I haven't been pushing forthat.
I like sound money.
I like peace, I like having therule of law, I like a
constitution.
I like government to stay outof people's lives.
I don't like the Patriot Act orthe surveillance state or the
military-industrial complex.
I'm an American and we don'tneed those things to defend

(18:39):
ourselves.
You don't need those alphabetagencies and everything else.
But I'm not animated at allabout that.
All right, I'll get to the chathere in a second.
Let's see, we're 18 minutes in.
I haven't plugged, I haven'tdone anything.

(19:01):
I'm joining the studio by beansthe brave ladies and gents.
She's going to protect us fromwoodland creatures, bad vibes
and intruders.
I'm broadcasting from deepwithin the heart of the Ozark
Mountains in my studio inBranson, missouri.
Let's jump into some headlines.
We'll read a little bit aboutgold today.

(19:22):
I hope the financial marketsare right.
It's another thing I talkedwith Gard about.
The financial markets don'tseem too worried, but they
probably don't know what I know.
I've stared into the abyss ofpolitics and I know a thing or
two and I know history.
So maybe I'm wrong I reallyhope I am, by the way and maybe

(19:47):
the markets are right, becausethe markets really aren't
responding.
Oh, this is a localized thing,but there's nothing quite so
terrifying as people who believesomething that isn't, and
that's what Christian Zionism isthe idolatry of waving an

(20:10):
Israeli flag in a big megachurchin San Antonio.
Do you realize how crazy thatis?
Because it means only one thingit means war.
And then you can't explain tome why, other than you're
supposed to believe it, becausea man at a podium says so,

(20:31):
because you are too lazy tofigure it out yourself.
All right, let's jump into.
This is one of the articles.
Obviously, I'm going to bestuck on this and maybe next

(20:52):
week we can just get right backdown to parapolitics.
But let me put this up on thescreen only 16% of Americans and
19% of Trump's voters want tothe U?

(21:14):
S to join Israel's war on Iran,as president Trump reportedly
considers issuing anunconstitutional order to commit
us military to Israel's war onIran.
A new poll finds very littlepublic support for an American
attack on Iran, even among thosewho voted for Trump in 2024.
According to an EconomistYouGov poll taken between June

(21:36):
13th and 16th, only 16%.
Does this look likerepresentative government to you
?
Does this look like you'rebeing represented?
I thought this was Americafirst.
How is America first if it'slast?
If you're not first, you'relast.
That's what this is.

(21:57):
We're almost at 130% of debt toGDP.
What has all this been for?
I feel like I'm in that Nixonspeech from 1968 and speech for
the acceptance of the Republicannominations.

(22:17):
It's a good one, by the way.
It's like did we come all theway for this?
Did our soldiers fight and diein Valley Forge from Korea for
this and World War II.
We do do all to get here, andthat was, you know, when the he
was elected to end the Vietnamwar.
People think they're gettingsomething when they.

(22:40):
When you say I want to end thewars, that's what people vote
for, obama did that too.
Then he was say I want to endthe wars, that's what people
vote for.
Obama did that too.
Then he was like I'm reallygood at killing people that's
another quote you can look up.
He really said that Like tokill people with flying killer
robots.
Only 19% of people who voted forTrump in 2024 support American

(23:03):
military involvement.
Well, who are those 19%, Iwonder?
Those are the people that callinto?
Those are boomers that callinto conservative talk radio.
I know them well Becausethey're really interested in
their.
Their hobby horse is who we'regoing to bomb.
I don't know.
Their hobby horse is who we'regoing to bomb.
I don't know.

(23:32):
Charlie Robinson, my good friendmacroaggressions, was on when I
hosted David Knight.
He had a funny joke about assoon as Israel launched their
strike, john Bolton had toconsult his doctor because he
didn't need his Viagra anymore.
That's what animates thesepeople.
23% of self-identifiedRepublicans support going to war

(23:56):
.
Similarly, 56% of all Americanssay the United States should
engage in negotiations with Iran.
Should engage in negotiationswith Iran.
On the other hand, some of thepoll's findings illustrate the
effectiveness of decades ofgovernment propagandizing about
Iran.
It's been echoed byestablishment media.

(24:18):
For example, 61% of Americanssay Iran's nuclear program poses
either an immediate or seriousthreat, or somewhat serious
threat, to the United States.
It does not Zero percent Zero.

(24:39):
So are your sons and daughters,their lives, worth 0%?
Saddam Hussein was given weaponsof mass destruction gas, sarin
gas, anthrax, other things tofight and kill Iranians during

(25:01):
the Iran-Iraq war by the UnitedStates and supported by the
Central Intelligence Agency totake on Iran because Iran was in
the sphere of the Soviet Unionduring the Cold War.
And then George HW Bush foundhis moment.

(25:26):
You know Saddam was.
He called him Saddam and Saddamwas the new Hitler.
In a war that lasted a coupleof days because they were a
large army but they didn't havethe technological sophistication
to withstand air bombardmentand all the rest.

(25:48):
He saw Desert Storm.
It's a televised war.
It's very fun for the media, butafter that half a million Iraqi
men, women and children diedbecause of the sanctions that
were placed on them by theUnited States the no-fly zone,

(26:08):
an oil embargo and theoil-for-food program that was
shackled on the Iraqi people.
When confronted about this on60 Minutes and asked if half a
million Iraqi men, women andchildren were worth it for the
sanctions, the Secretary ofState of the United States,

(26:31):
madeleine Albright, said yes.
So if you ever wonder whypeople in the Middle East hate
us, it's not because theystumbled upon a constitution
that was found in a cave orsomething and then went berserk
because they found out about theBill of Rights.
They hate us for what we'vedone and our leaders, who are

(26:55):
soulless.
You cannot spiritually attachyourself to.
Whatever the hell this thing is.
I'm telling you it's bad.
I had to go through it and Ididn't lie.
I mean, if you knew me at thetime of the Iraq war, when I was
ordered to go, I was very angryabout that.
I couldn't quiteintellectualize why.
I just knew it was a really badidea.
I thought what are we doing?

(27:17):
This doesn't make any sense.
What does this have to do with9-11?
I was asking those questions at22, 23.
You don't want any part of this.
There's a darkness in this andthey will come up with some

(27:38):
false flag.
They'll do something to get youknow every day they'll put that
MAGA hat on.
We're just going to go get themover there.
Yeah, sad to watch.
The US intelligence communityissued a national intelligence

(27:59):
estimate that concluded, withhigh confidence, that Iran was
not developing a nuclear weapon.
The same conclusion has beenperiodically reiterated by the
intelligence community eversince, including just three
months ago.
Similarly, 50% of Americans and68% of Trump voters classify
Iran as an enemy of the UnitedStates.
A quarter of Americanscategorize Iran as unfriendly.

(28:22):
Yeah, it's.
What do you expect them to do?
Does anybody not know thehistory of our involvement there
?
The mainstream media?
I know they went to some veryexpensive schools.
They're just so busy with theirsocial schedule to read.

(28:43):
It's funny.
James Forrestal, first secretaryof defense under Truman and he
really was the first secretaryof defense.
Truman changed it from thesecretary of war to make it
sound different because you knowit sounds plausible.

(29:04):
It sounds like you're supposedto be defensive, not warlike.
James forestall had some realproblems with, uh, our
recognition of what we weredoing with israel and, um, just,
military industrial complex ingeneral.
I think he probably was morepragmatic and didn't, you know,

(29:25):
with the threat of the Cold War,wanted to be a little bit more,
have more options.
He was pushed out of a windowat Bethesda Naval Hospital and
you can listen to my friend DonJeffries to get more details on
that, but most likely you know.
People say well, he jumped out,he killed himself, but Dave was
the first Secretary of Defense,you know what he was reading.
People say, well, he jumped out, he killed himself, but Dave

(29:46):
was the first Secretary ofDefense, you know what he was
reading.
See, I always thought that Iread this from Gore Vidal.
It's the little things you'llfind on my show and nobody
else's.
James Forrestal was reading theplay by Sophocles called Ajax

(30:07):
and I pulled it up and I'mskipping around here, but you
guys can get facts and figures.
People believe what theybelieve.
Well, we're on to the nextarticle.
Very few people support the war.
I'll give more attention tothis in a second, but it goes on
to talk about what the play wasabout, and this is going to
make sense here in a second.

(30:31):
After a great warrior, achilles,has been killed in battle,
there was a question as to whoshould receive his armor, as the
man who would now be consideredthe greatest Greek warrior,
ajax, felt he should be givenAchilles' armor, but the two
kings, agamemnon and Melanus,awarded it instead to Odysseus.
Ajax became furious and decidedto kill the three of them.

(30:52):
However, athena, goddess ofwisdom and more, stepped in and
deluded Ajax into insteadkilling the spoil of the Greek
army, which included cattle aswell as the herdsmen the Greek
army, which included cattle aswell as the herdsmen.
It's a message about arroganceand folly and misdirection.

(31:13):
And do you know what?
The operation was?
To overthrow the king of Iranin 1952, 52, 53, mosaddegh.
It was called Operation Ajax.

(31:33):
And, of course, without the Shah, you never get the Ayatollahs,
and without the Ayatollahs younever get the hostages taken in
1979, and you never get thebirth of modern, whatever
radical Islam, not really.
And that's the Shia brand.
And then you get sunni brand,which is al-qaeda, which we
created, which means thedatabase, and tim osmond, which
is osama bin laden.
Just a lot of stuff that you're.

(31:53):
You know, ted cruz doesn't know, because it's too much of a
burden to think, because you canjust go to church for me, just
side boy, I got that stamp.
I know what I believe because afat man at a podium told me so,
having fun.

(32:22):
Yet, let's see, we're 32 minutes.
Let me go to some of the and weput this back, uh, off the
screen.
Hold on a second.
I'm I'm having, uh, I'm havinga moment where I just I mainly
stay pretty even keel becauseyou have to.
It's uh in this world becauseespecially you're running

(32:43):
businesses and you can't be allover the place.
But this particular type ofstuff drives me nuts.
Let's see Former Star Trekwriting fellow.
I know who that is CharlieHilarious.
Yes, kenfin Powers.

(33:07):
Yeah, kenny F and Power.
I like that, kenny F and Power.
Hi, tony, yes, things are crazy, my friend.
This is all on my YouTube.
Yeah, jay Berenger, they wantto turn Iran into a failed state
.
Yeah, it's their favorite thing.
That's her favorite thing.

(33:31):
It's chaos, for the sake of it.
And if you really know thepolitics of it, it starts to
make a lot more sense.
Again, I hope I'm wrongGeopolitically and we'll go over
some stuff here happening withprecious metals.
They don't see this as a thing.
I see it as.

(33:51):
So, again, you get both sidesright.
Don't listen to a thing.
I say you go anything.
I say cross-reference it, checkit.
If I'm wrong, send me an emailand I'll correct myself
Literally, I will, by the way,before I lose it and this is.
You know, we kind of get on anew track here.

(34:14):
But one of my listeners sent mean email about a big build back
better and the big beautifulbill.
How it's kind of the same thing.
It's the same thing and it'sBBB right, this build back
better was a UN term.
I've seen that before.
I've seen it pop up.

(34:35):
It popped up in early 2019, Ithink, and one of my good
friends, another researcher,found it and sent it to me and
that was used for the campaignslogan for Biden.
Anyway, that's big beautifulbill, bb, which people put the

(34:55):
six, six, six, all that stuff.
Yeah, it's somethinginteresting.
And then a lot of thebloatedness.
The big bloated bill.
I just thought of that becauseI asked people to email me.
All right, let me check rumblereal quick and then make sure

(35:15):
I'm not missing anybody.
Oh, we got knights of the stormand dustin helm over on.
Uh, the rumble chat, karencarpenter.
Karen carpenter says mydaughter says I have resting
bitch face.
I do, I've been told that.
I just get really serious.

(35:35):
I'm thinking all the time.
She says love the shirt, thankyou, we're going to have the
store up next week or so.
You can get a Wolfpackgoldshirt and we're really proud of
that gold shirt and we're reallyproud of that.
Good to see everybody.

(36:03):
Thanks for joining over on therumble chat.
Yeah, I'm broadcasting thevideos on my ex at now and
Facebook for now.
So lots of fun, all right.
Well, I'm trying not to stay toomuch into the war, but that's

(36:27):
where we are.
Let's go to antiwarcom.
Yeah, oh, this is what I wantedto do.
I saw the headlines.
I'm going to go back.
Let's pull up, drudge.
I want to show you somethingreal quick.

(36:50):
It's another thing that justbothers me on a cellular level
Is this kind of attitude.
Let's just pull up.
Let me cancel this.
Pull up.
I'm on my laptop still.
I've still getting.
I got to get new, all newequipment over here in the
studio.
I'm Branson.
I got to upgrade my stuff inTexas, but I will when I get

(37:14):
some time.
I'm going to do this and thenwe'll see if we can jump into
some headlines on the monetarysystem.
Alright, this is Drudge, over inthe left-hand corner.
Drudge always has.
This is what you are supposedto be seeing, like they want to.

(37:36):
That's why I bring it up,because this is what this is the
narrative you're supposed tosee if you're captured in the
fulcrum of whatever psyop thisis, and it has a picture of this
four-star general in fatiguesin his BDUs I don't know if they

(37:57):
even call them that anymore.
It says in quotations thisjacked gorilla.
This is what I guess he'scalled a jacked gorilla.
He's a general pushing Trump tostrike Iran, pushing Trump to
strike Iran.
So that's how I'm going toclick on the link.

(38:18):
Is this?
Is this even real?
Michael Carrillo said to bebehind throne.
Is US President mulls overdirect military action?
Uh-huh, this talks about himbeing in war-torn Mosul, iraq.

(38:50):
I was there.
I have a different view.
I saw just off the top of myhead.
I saw churches that had anexistence, some of the oldest

(39:10):
churches in Christendom that arenow in ruins because of our
involvement, because of ouroccupation, because of our
invasion.
I saw homes and familiesobliterated.
So I'm just reading theheadlines and he's pushing for
the strikes on Iran and I'massuming some sort of new war.

(39:32):
He loves it for the sake of it.
I'll just put it that way Likeif you've seen that and taken
part in it and you don't becomeso skeptical like you don't
become like like a master of war.
I can think of two, I can thinkof two.
Well, no three, I'll say three.
We'll go list one by one.
The first one would be SmedleyButler, highly decorated, most

(39:54):
highly decorated Marine Corpsgeneral or person up until the
1940s and 50s, most highlydecorated ever.
And he wrote a book called Waris a Racket by the end of his
career and he learned so much.
He traveled the world fightingon behalf of multinational
corporations and he's like Ididn't go down to south america

(40:17):
and create, you know, overthrowgovernments and things to make
the world safe for democracy.
I was making it safe for theunited fruit company.
That was a warrior.
He got it.
He was like, oh, I see.
And then he had a plan toprotect the united states
militarily without gettinginvolved in world war ii.
So you know, uh, he had to diealso.

(40:39):
So he died mysteriously in injune of 1941, right around the
time of operation barbarossa,when the state department of the
united states would get reallyexcited about getting into the
war and helping the communists.
They weren't really wanting tohelp England, but they really
wanted to help Stalin.
Because Joe McCarthy was right,another general, that somebody I

(41:05):
respect, a great warrior,probably the greatest general of
all time, and that's GeneralDouglas MacArthur.
I've read his biography likethree or four times folks over
the years.
I bought a copy of hisbiography in an antique store in
Fredericksburg, virginia, in2003 on leave from Iraq, and I

(41:26):
spent all day in this oldbookstore.
And I bought a copy of WilliamManchester's American Caesar and
I read it, and I read the wholething in three days and I read
it on the plane back to Iraqwhere I just had to serve
another two months.
So I know a thing or two aboutDouglas MacArthur.
You know what he wanted to do.
He wanted to abolish war.

(41:48):
He wanted to put it in theconstitutions of each government
around the world and make itillegal.
That was his conclusion.
He begged Lyndon Johnson tostay out of Vietnam.
Unlike these clowns, you're notgoing to follow these guys into

(42:08):
war.
I've already done that.
Yeah, no parades.
Victory, no, nothing, just thesourness of watching your
country go further and furtherinto debt and get ruled by a
bunch of marxists no thanks.
Meanwhile, look, we don't talkabout the real threats to this

(42:29):
country, the southern border.
Look at the people that they'retrafficking children and God
knows what else over Sex slavesand other things, like with
impunity wearing fatigues.
That doesn't anger you.
If you're a Jack Gorilla, yougot to get over there and hit
Iran.
Yeah, no, thanks, I'll go withactual, real military men who

(42:51):
know a thing or two and it'sserved.
And somebody like Eisenhowernot perfect, but at the end of
his career, both as a generaland supreme commander of NATO,
ran the Allied forces on D-Dayall that stuff.
Eisenhower not a perfect man,but at the end called out the
military-industrial complex.
That was his farewell speech in1961.

(43:11):
And I know that's too muchhistory for the mainstream to
follow what I just said.
But yeah, excuse me, if I don'twant to go down that rabbit
hole with the Jack Gorilla, youcan have that one.

(43:32):
I had another article fromCaitlin Johnstonestone.
Let's just leave it at that,folks.
Let's go.
And we went.
We went into the parapolitics.
I did the anti-war stuff.
Let's just leave it be.
Anti-war tells me that trumpalready has the plans drawn up.
He's just waiting, um, you know, for our greatest ally to sink

(43:53):
the Liberty again, or sell ourmissile secrets and technology
to the Chinese, our greatestally, or to dance on 9-11.
This is hard to watch.
It really, really is All right.

(44:19):
Let's go to Kitco.
And again.
This is interesting.
The markets are not respondingLike I would be looking at this
like okay, because you know youdo one thing and other things
happen.
Like I would be looking at thislike okay, because you know you
do one thing and other thingshappen.

(44:40):
There's a domino effect forevery.
You know, it's kind of likeIsaac Newton.
He was on to something when hesaid for every action there's an
equal and opposite reaction.
You know, like that's just theuniverse, that's just the way
that the world works.
You're in the third dimension.
If you do something, somethingelse happens.
I mean, it's just the universe,that's just the way that the
world works.
You're in the third dimension.
If you do something, somethingelse happens.
I mean it's just revolutionarythought.
They actually thought in theCuban missile crisis that if we
took out the, the frog, themissiles you know, we took out

(45:04):
all the, the, the short rangewarheads, that and killed all
the Cubans and the Russians andthe they were working with them
to arm them that they would donothing.
That's what some of theadvisors told kennedy and I
think he was just like like me.

(45:24):
Like what is what planet am Iso, but some of the market
believes that nothing willhappen.
We shall see.
Let's put this order.
Let's look at some stuff onkitco, then we'll go to look at
some highlights and what's goingon with the gold market.
I'll plug and I'll tell youwhat I'm working on.
Let's do that and we'll get,because I don't have a regular

(45:48):
show in me watching this eversince friday theth.
By the way, where's mysymbology guys?
I thought the symbology guyswould be all over this.
Where's my numerology guys?
I don't see anything on X or Ihaven't seen any articles posted
.
There's no new podcast onFriday the 13th.
Come on, guys, you're betterthan this.

(46:11):
All right, let me see.
Let's put up central banks.
So this is, I think, what youneed to remember about, no
matter what happens.
Okay, we're already on a path.
The fundamentals ofde-dollarization, of a new

(46:32):
monetary global great reset, allstill in there.
Yeah, you get guys like me thatI guess I have an affinity to
call out the warmongering neoconsycophants for satan, and I
just become my wheelhousesometimes and I get kind of
animated about it.
But at the end of the day, allthe other stuff that I talk
about is still happening too,and it's moving at an

(46:54):
accelerated pace.
This is, I think apropos to aworld that's going to move away
from the dollar and the SWIFTsystem into something else
cross-border payments donethrough stable coins, gold or
Bitcoin, or something like that.
Central banks will continue tobuy gold and diversify away from

(47:16):
the US dollar in the next 12months.
This is according to the WorldGold Council In a 2025 survey.
Not only are central banksexpected to continue buying gold
over the next 12 months, butthe precious metal is also
attracting significantly moreattention from the official
sector than any other time inthe past decade, according to

(47:37):
the latest survey from the WorldGold Council.
So this just again, rBuckminster Fuller called it
accelerating acceleration.
You just reach a tipping point.
Everything that's gone on,everything that continues to
happen in the world monetaryreset, gold is playing a huge
point.
Everything that's gone on,everything that continues to
happen in the world monetaryreset, and gold is playing a

(47:57):
huge part in it.
It's not the only part, though,folks.
It's not.
I know some uh.
I'm a.
I listen to a lot of uhanalysis shows on both bitcoin
and gold, and I don't findalmost anybody like me.
I just just feel like there'sroom for all sorts of other
things that are going to be partof the next phase of our

(48:20):
economic reality, and gold's amajor part, but it's not the
only part.
Gold Survey, which received 73responses this year, the highest
participation rate since thesurvey began eight years ago.
Roughly half of all globalcentral banks participated in
this year's survey.

(48:40):
The survey shows that centralbanks see the value of holding
gold as a global reserve asset.
That's Basel III 2021, bank ofInternational Settlements
settlements.
Gold moves from a tier threeasset to a tier one.
It just surpassed their euro,is the second most hold held
global uh reserve asset, overthe euro, and that's why the

(49:02):
european central bank said goldwas a threat to the global order
.
Yes, it's a threat to yourmonopoly money.
It's a threat to the power thatyou have to print your way out
of a problem, and thesegovernments a lot of them are
already starting to realign likewell, if there's going to be a
new global gold standard, whichlooks more and more apparent, of

(49:24):
some kind.
It may not look like we've hadanything previously, but there
will be a monetary reset, folks,but there will be a monetary
reset, folks, regardless of.
You can't save the currenteconomic system by war.
You can't Not in its currentform.
It's too much.

(49:45):
The debt of the US when I wasborn was $1 trillion, give or
take.
It was right at that, the endof the Carter administration,
the beginning of the Reaganadministration One trillion.
So it took us all of thathistory to get there.
We do that every 90 days, sothat can't last.

(50:08):
It's just mathematics.
It doesn't really care aboutyour ideology.
The increase in participationis not just a number.
It's a powerful signal ofengagement with gold among the
central bank community.
These responses add depth inour insight into understanding
of gold's role within thereserve management.
This is according to the WorldGold Council.
95% of respondents expectglobal gold reserves to increase

(50:33):
over the next 12 months.
I was listening to MartinArmstrong, who runs the Socrates
program on a podcast and I'mgoing to try to get him on.
I've been reading about him foryears.
Interesting His take on theprice of gold and silver is that

(50:53):
it's not based on inflation.
He didn't think that inflationreally moved the price of gold
or silver.
It's based off of fear.
It's based off of geopoliticaltensions and market conditions,
based off of holding assetsoutside of things that would be
volatile in a chaotic world.
That's according to MartinArmstrong, who's bullish on the

(51:16):
price, by the way, but hedoesn't think inflation drives
it.
That's interesting, isn't it?
I'd like to have him on to talkabout that.
I think it's more.

(51:39):
I think there is a correlationbetween unlimited currency
creation and the increase inprice of commodities, because I
mean it's just less.
I mean something moreubiquitous.
I mean what finite versusinfinite.
I mean what has more value,something that's always
everywhere, all the time, orsomething that has a finite,
scarce, precious existence, orsomething that has a finite,
scarce, precious existence.
I mean scientifically.
I just think that works.
But something's happening withsilver right now, which is

(52:01):
another part of this, I think isfinally catching up, because it
hasn't had an all-time highagainst the dollar since I've
been alive.
It will.
It will surpass Nothing canstay held down that long,
forever, but I think it's both,and certainly the central bank
gold buying.
What this article is talkingabout is very important for you

(52:23):
to understand, because in 2009and you know you're not going to
hear this from Mad Money or oneof these stock shows or
something telling you to buyFANG stocks 2009, the amount of
gold being ordered by centralbanks was almost zero.

(52:43):
They didn't buy it, theyweren't holding it, they trusted
the US dollar system and then,after we bailed out the two
banks that are too big to failin jail and all that stuff, you
know, the big short central bankstarted slowly buying gold and
accumulating.

(53:04):
And then, after 2021, you knowBasel three with the bank of
international settlements, tierone asset, and then the invasion
of Russia and this moresanctions that were placed.
And you know Basel Three withthe Bank of International
Settlements, tier one asset, andthen the invasion of Russia and
there's more sanctions thatwere placed.
And you know, then you justfast forward to blanket tariffs
and if you don't use the dollar,you know we're going to 100%
tariff.
You and you see where the wheelkeeps turning.

(53:26):
And if you're in this countryand you produce energy and oil,
we're just going to see if akiller robot can blow you up,
flee the city that you live in,where 10 million people live,
and people want to move awayfrom the dollar.
That's crazy, tony.
So central banks are going tocontinue to do that.

(53:48):
What does that mean for you?
Well, it means that if youunderstand this and again I keep
saying this, don't listen to aword I say Go, look this up for
yourself, think for yourself.
There's too many commentatorsvying for the occupation and
colonization of your mind.
I don't want it.
I don't want thatresponsibility.
I don't want anything to dowith that.

(54:10):
I want to discuss ideas.
I don't want thatresponsibility.
I don't want anything to dowith that.
I want to discuss ideas.
I'm more interested in theideas than I am you to click on
the show.
I never cared about that.
If I cared about that, I'd havemillions of followers because I
know exactly what to say.
You don't think I could doexactly what Ben Shapiro does or
Sebastian Gorka, that hack.

(54:33):
I think I could do that in aminute, but I don't, because I
don't believe those things,because they're not true or
they're just downright stupid,and I like to not be on the side
of stupid if I can help it.
Sometimes I am.
Sometimes I'm stupid, but noton purpose.
So don't listen to me, listento yourself and go read and go

(54:56):
look into what the differencebetween currency and money is,
and what you'll find is and Ithink this is why I keep my show
on what motivates me to go livewith my chihuahua on Thursdays
and talk to you is because allthese stories are important and
understand the geopoliticalsetup, If I can go through it
with you.
What I find is that we can takea little bit of wisdom out of

(55:17):
each article, a little bit ofsomething, and it's intel, so
you can be better prepared forwhat's coming.
It's not, you can't necessarilystop it.
I'm like a meteorologist I cantell you, maybe, that the
tornado is coming that way, butI can't stop the tornado,
neither can you.
How can you benefit?
Well, you can understand thatthey're going to reset all of

(55:37):
this stuff and we're going tocontinue to talk about that
every week.
They're going to reset all thisstuff.
They're going to reset thecurrencies of the world based on
something else, and the reasonthey're going to do that is
because the current system isunsustainable and in between
there'll be wars and there'll bechaos and all the stuff that
they do.
And it's our job to not getdespondent or fall into that

(55:57):
trap or support them when theydo that.
Like I said, don't getenergetically involved in
whatever they're doing here withthis Middle Eastern war.
Stay far away from that.
Keep your spirit away from that, because that's evil, I promise
you.
I got it all over me when I wasa young man.

(56:19):
It took me years and maybe Inever did to get it away from me
, it was just karmically on me.
It'll always be with me.
You don't want any part of that, even from afar.
So don't back the Jack Gorillaguy, all right, okay, so closing
out, we've got a few minutes.
I want to tell you guys, I'mabout to relaunch a whole bunch

(56:42):
of stuff, like I said, we'regoing to have to store up.
I'm working on that.
You see my notepad it's full,like it's just full.
I'm just writing.
I'm analog here, but I'mworking on stuff.
Wolfpack, if you haven't, ifyou hear my voice and you
haven't joined Wolfpack, pleasedo.
I got.
If I get more people, I can getbetter deals for everybody.

(57:03):
And if you can hang on, even ifit's 50 bucks a month and this
isn't really about profits Ithis is my purpose.
I want to build this thing andhelp people, because if
everybody who's bought from meover the last many years, you're
doing better than if you hadn't.
Because if you took greenpieces of paper and you turn

(57:24):
them into precious metals, likeguys, I was selling gold to
people to 1200 bucks an ounce.
I was selling silver to peopleat $1,200 an ounce.
I was selling silver to peopleat $14 an ounce.
We're selling American SilverEagles boxes, monster boxes for
$15 an ounce at some time.
And I kept telling people,watch out for this.
Wolfpack does that, especiallyif you're like, hey, I'm on a

(57:44):
budget, the dollar doesn't go asfar.
I haven't got a rate.
I got all that.
If you'll come over and join.
We got the promo code 1776.
That's free silver on top ofwhatever you get into we got.
Maybe you can only do it one ata time.
That's fine.
You don't have to do arecurring deal, but that helps
everybody and I'm going to bepushing that.
We're leading with that.

(58:05):
If you'd like to become anaffiliate, you'd like to make
some extra money, get in touchwith my office.
We're having an affiliateprogram for everybody on
Wolfpack.
I'll show you how to get yourown gold and we'll do that.
But that's the mission.
In the face of all this stuff,we're going to continue to build
and put you in somethingoutside of those Luciferian
banks you're in.
That's wolfpackgold for thewebsite, wolfpackgold, and then

(58:30):
arterburngold for me for mywebsite, and we're going to work
on some Bitcoin operationsreally soon.
If you've got any kind ofdirect buys, if you have a need
for gold, silver or Bitcoin.
We want your business.
You call us and you can alwaystalk to me.
All right.
Price of gold today.
Luciferian bankster notes$3,370 LBN's make an ounce of

(58:57):
gold and $36.38 again.
Let's put this up on the screen.
I'll show you this right beforewe close out.
Both of these in the red, bothof these in the red, both of
these in the red, and that couldbe a good sign.
The world certainly isn'tdriving and saying that we're

(59:24):
going off the cliff.
So maybe I'm wrong.
It's always good to have a.
Just put that in your backpocket, never know.
All right, folks, we appreciateyou.
I'll be back next week.
Tune into America Unpluggedthis weekend, on Saturday,
