#508 The Dog That Didn't Bark: Markets React to World War III Preview

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
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.

(00:24):
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.
I'm weathered Highway Veteranof three foreign wars,
entrepreneur and warrior.

(00:45):
Poet, tony Arterburn takes onthe issues facing our country,
civilization and planet.
This is the Arterburn RadioTransmission.
Thank you, episode 508.

(01:48):
This is the Arterburn RadioTransmission.
I am your host, tony Arterburn.
I'm broadcasting In Defiance ofGlobalist Goblins, the Neocons.
Hey, I've been broadcasting InDefiance of Neocons for 11 plus
12 years now and it seems thatwe are winning somewhere in the
ideological battle, somewhere.

(02:09):
I think that there's a highwatermark.
We'll maybe get into that alittle bit today.
Definitely something shifted,but it's the Neocons in the new
world order.
Right here on the ArterburnRadio Transmission, I'm joined
by my co-pilot and co-host,beans the Brave, who is just off
camera.
She's keeping my house inDenison, texas, safe from

(02:30):
woodland creatures and intruders.
Bad vibes, all that good stuff.
We love Beans.
I was on the David Knight Showtalking with Travis Knight today
and he asked a couple of greatquestions and it got me thinking
because I noticed something hemust have noticed it too.
We'll talk a little bit aboutthat today which is the markets.

(02:52):
What happened to the marketsduring your preview, your free
sample of World War III, andthings seem to have calmed down
a bit, but that can be deceivingfolks.
If you know anything abouthistory, if you know anything
about geopolitics, if you knowanything about the conspiracy

(03:12):
theory of history, then you'renever, ever satisfied with
whatever these kind of outcomesare.
You're always asking morequestions and questions.
As we have found out, ladiesand gentlemen, questions are the
answer.
The more questions, the better.
You're always asking morequestions and questions, as we
have found out, ladies andgentlemen, questions are the
answer.
The more questions, the better.
You've got to questioneverything, and that's the times
in which we live.

(03:33):
So, yeah, there's nothing toreport, other than there's
nothing to report, right, thisis something I read yesterday
about the Hegelian dialectic,and I've been talking about that
for years, but I thought I'dretouch on that because we're
getting, I think, primed forsomething much bigger.

(03:54):
This is my gut level.
Something's not right.
There's a disturbance in theforce, there's a glitch in the
matrix, and that's what we'rewatching.
And the matrix and that's whatwe're watching.
And if you go back and peoplethrow that term around in my
line of work and alternativemedia about the Hegelian
dialectic but it comes fromFrederick.

(04:15):
Hegel was a 19th centuryphilosopher.
He believed in many differentphilosophical mashups with
history and how it worked.
He influenced people like KarlMarx and it's like the flow of
history would be that there's anidea which is thesis and that

(04:41):
out of that would be presentedthe antithesis so antithesis,
you have thesis, antithesis andthat they would collide and
produce synthesis.
And that's the dialectic, likethe both sides bringing their
best argument for their view ofthe future.
And something interesting Ibelieve happened in the 19th

(05:04):
century where this wasdiscovered as a phenomenon, kind
of like the cyclical view ofhistory.
This was discovered as aphenomenon that actually does
work.
I mean it's like if you want toget to Y, like if A divided by
B equals C, then you want to getto this one last portion, if

(05:26):
you want to get to the endresult, if you want this one
thing, and you have to blendthese two things together.
Well, you have to begin withthe end in mind, and I think
that's what we saw during the20th century.
So this has actually worked forsome of the planners.
I believe that's why you hadpeople fund Karl Marx and that's

(05:47):
why the world's richest peoplefunded communism, because it was
such an outlier.
It was such an antithesis tofree market capitalism and the
gold standard and everythingthat the 19th century produced.
But what happened in the 19thcentury was interesting to watch
.
You had the rise of thePopulist Party at the end of the
1800s in America and all overthe world.

(06:09):
There was a political backlashfrom the top down, like the.
They called them robber baronsand you know, jack London, who
was an author, wrote the Call ofthe Wild.
This was back in the—peopledon't write as much as they
should about this time inAmerican history but there was

(06:30):
such a disparity between workersand the oligarchs who ran
everything that I think theycreated this antithesis, this
boogeyman.
They created something so thatthey could use it as a
controlled opposition and thatwould eventually bleed together.
So you have, you know,capitalism versus communism, but

(06:51):
not really, and you have, likethe american imperialism versus
the soviet imperialism and youblend that together and you get
what we have today, which is a arace for centralized control of
everything and Bill Coopercalled it a one world
totalitarian socialistgovernment.
So I see that today, in thisforeign policy that we have,

(07:16):
it's like this massive, you know, juxtaposition between two
points and then nothing happensreally of substance and nothing
happened yet.
By the way, you can't count outanything at this point.
It's.
This is a things are.
They may seem quiet, but I'msure they seem quiet and, like I

(07:38):
told Travis Knight this morning, they may have seemed quiet in
the summer of 1914 as well.
If you know anything about WorldWar I and how that kicked off
and a lot of it was just adomino effect of treaties and
things that were set into motionfrom things.
Even the Kaiser, you know, inWorld War I he was trying to

(07:59):
bring his troops back and hecouldn't stop it, like once it
had just started going.
He couldn't stop it, like onceit had just started going, he
couldn't stop it.
And some of these things warespecially, it has an energy all
of its own.
It's an organic phenomenon inmany ways.
So you have to watch that.
But I think we're being primedfor something.
Look out for that If you wantto plan out, because we're

(08:24):
midway through the Agenda 2030decade.
I knew this when I hosted thefirst broadcast on InfoWars of
the new decade of 2020, becauseDavid Knight asked me to host it
was last minute.
I went in and it was just afterTrump had assassinated the

(08:48):
General Soleimani, and Iremember like the gravity of the
situation.
This was the Iranian general.
The hashtag was World War III,but it was only about 30 days
later, 45 days later, that wewere primed, getting ready for a
lockdown with an executiveorder, and so it was world war
three, just a different kind ofwar, and that was, I think, a

(09:11):
kickoff to this decade.
Ladies and gents, this is agenda21, agenda 2030, the great
reset, and I've always thoughtthat just deep in my bones.
Like this, it's a hurry upoffense to get as much done in
this decade as you can.
So we're halfway through andthere's these milestones.
They set goals.
They want, if you look at theagenda 2030, the sustainable

(09:35):
living.
They want to create the 15minute cities and all of this
stuff.
Trump calls them freedom cities, but they want to create this
control grid, not only with thecurrency, but the way you live.
And all this they use it underthe guise of sustainability and
the ultimate, I think, directorof any of these projects that

(10:01):
these controllers have.
If you go back to prior to WorldWar I, the Carnegie Foundation,
they were looking at how do weimplement these socialist
policies?
Because the wealthiest peoplein the world generally will fund
some kind of socialism.
It's kind of a head fakebecause they get to control it.

(10:22):
That's why the rich always fundcommunism and it blows people's
minds that they don't reallyunderstand that.
I was never taught that as akid.
You have to go find that outfor yourself.
But the Carnegie Foundation andyou can go look this up they
were working hard on trying to.
How do we get all thesesocietal, you know, these
progressive ideas?

(10:43):
How do we get them implemented?
This was like one of theoriginal think tanks, and so, to
a person, the panel realizedthat the best and fastest way
for them to achieve their goalsfor top-down change would be a
war, and so that's the firstquestion that they answered, and

(11:06):
then the second was how do weget into one?
So that's, that's where youknow.
That's where I start looking.
Is it because all of it's somuch of a script.
How do we get into one?
And you can certainly see thatnow.
All right, folks, we're going tojump into some headlines.
I definitely want to cover someprecious metals headlines

(11:28):
there's.
My friend Junkyard sent me alink of what's going on in Texas
.
We'll cover that.
There's a little bit.
I want to read about silver,just kind of putting what the
what fiat has done, the erosionof the purchasing power of the

(11:50):
dollar.
As a matter of fact, one of theheadlines on Drudge today is
like no love for the dollar, thedollar is losing.
D-dollarization is justhappening, folks.
So, whether this, you know,what's going on with Iran and
what's going on with Israel?
What's going on with Russia orChina, whatever it does, these

(12:11):
are all things that areimportant to some degree, but
the major theme is the macro.
Now I want to talk to you aboutthere's an article up on
ZeroHeads just showing youbecause we get lost in that
what's happened to thepurchasing power of the dollar.
This is natural news.
Let me bring this article up.
I want to do this and then I'vegot just a recap of what

(12:32):
happened.
In the last week.
My friend Donald Jeffries wrotea great article up on
lewrockwellcom and that'll takeme a minute or two to go through
, but I definitely want to dothat with you and we have some
sponsorship news.
I want to get to and yourcomments.
I I want to get to and yourcomments Definitely want to get
to your comments.
I'll be watching for that overon YouTube and X.

(12:55):
All right, let me put this upon the screen.
Go, yeah, this is natural news.
A Texas gold revolution isunderway.
But the conversion of gold intodigital currency just hand
control over to the state?

(13:15):
Well, this is the question Iasked a couple of years ago.
Let me see my mouse over here.

(13:38):
Thank you, governor.
Greg abbott's signing of housebill 1056 makes it a historic
shift in monetary policy,positioning texas as the first
state to create a functionalelectronic payment system backed
by gold and silver.
Proponents hail it as a boldstep towards financial
sovereignty, freeing Texans fromboth the Federal Reserve's
inflationary fiat system.
But underneath the triumphantrhetoric lies a critical

(13:59):
question Is this true monetaryfreedom or a clever Trojan horse
that ultimately surrendersprivate gold reserves to state
control?
The bill's passage comes asTexas aggressively positions
itself as a future economicpowerhouse, investing heavily in
AI, robotics and spaceexploration while leveraging its

(14:19):
vast natural resources.
But with the great power comesgreat scrutiny and skepticism.
While the state frames HB 1056as a victory for constitutional
money, it may be the first steptowards centralized control over
citizens' precious metals,converting hard assets into
digital credits under governmentside.

(14:43):
This is, I think, very much agood question to ask, because I
asked this.
You know, with the and we'llget into a little bit of this
what this means with Texashaving and this isn't the same
thing as what they proposed witha gold-backed Texas-based
digital currency.

(15:03):
It's not exactly the same thing, but we'll get into that.
Texas becomes the first stateto implement a practical
gold-backed payment systemallowing citizens to spend
precious metals via debit cardsand mobile apps.
The Texas bullion depository,already holding $400 million in
metals, will serve as thebackbone of this system.

(15:24):
Already holding $400 million inmetals, will serve as the
backbone of this system, raisingconcerns about state custody of
private assets.
Well, it's a good concern.
Supporters claim it's abiblical and constitutional
return to sound money, whilebanking interests warn of
consumer risk and systemicdisruption.
Implementation will be phasedwith full functionality by 2027,

(15:48):
unless competing bills SB665and 1049.
Alter the landscape.
The move aligns with Texas'broader push for economic
independence, fuelingspeculation about eventual
secession.
Texas broader push for economicindependence fueling
speculation about eventualsecession.

(16:09):
Well, I would like, I'd lovethat conversation, but I don't
know that that's a truepolitical reality.
It'd have to love thatconversation.
We can start there, but I thinkwhere our politics has a long
way to go, as we've seen theinterview with Ted Cruz and

(16:30):
Tucker Carlson, we're notdealing with mental giants, the
gold standard rebooted, or adigital trap.
At first glance it seemsrevolutionary.
Texans can now deposit gold orsilver into a state-run
depository and access its valueelectronically, bypassing the

(16:53):
need to sell metals fordepreciating dollars.
How am I supposed to buygroceries with a gold bar, asked
Rep Mark D'Orazio, san Antonio,the bill's architect.
His solution convert bullioninto spendable digital currency,
backed one for one ounce byphysical metals, he says.

(17:15):
But here's the catch the stateholds the gold.
Citizens trade direct ownershipfor digital claims.
As system critics compare tocentral bank digital currencies,
cbdcs where governments, notindividuals, control the
underlying assets.
While a plan appears to restoresound money and allow

(17:37):
individuals to tap into theirstores of wealth, the plan
really represents another formof state-managed money.
Really represents another formof state-managed money.
Once metals enter thedepository, reclaiming them in
physical form could becomebureaucratically difficult if

(17:58):
you've ever dealt with anythingwith the state.
Yes, historically, gold's valuelies in its independence from
government manipulation.
The Federal Reserve can't printit, inflation can't erode it,
but if Texans surrender theirbullion to a state-run digital
system, they exchange thatautonomy for convenience, a
trade-off that could leave themvulnerable for future political
and policy shifts.

(18:20):
Well, it's an interestingquestion and I applaud.
I think we had Kevin Freeman on.
He wrote Pirate Money on myWise Wolf podcast and the Wise
Wolf Golden Crypto Show and Iput it up on Paratrooper as well
.
Mr Anderson helped me with thatinterview and he's a proponent

(18:42):
of this.
But I started asking questions,especially when you're handing
your hard assets over to astate-run anything company,
especially if you've got theability to hold it yourself and
you've got a good like, you'vegot a wise wolf, like you've got

(19:05):
somebody to deal with and thoseoff ramps, those on ramps,
those off ramps to get in andout of a fiat currency through
precious metals.
If you've got that and you cankeep it, you're limiting
counterparty risk, folks whenyou do that.

(19:26):
The banking industry fiercelyopposed HB 1056, fearing
disruption to the fractionalreserve system that profits from
fiat currency.
The Independent BankersAssociation of Texas called the
bill potentially harmful, thoughit softened its stance after
amendments.
Meanwhile, conservative groupslike the Texas Public Policy

(19:47):
Foundation championed it as avisionary check on federal
overreach.
D'orazio framed the bill inspiritual terms, citing Genesis
2, gold was God's chosen mediumof commerce.
Yet biblical commerce neverinvolved handing gold to a state

(20:10):
depository for digital credits.
These are good questions.
That's the same thing, you know.
Okay, would I do it?
No same thing, you know.
Okay, would I do it?
No, but I'm also a gold andsilver precious metals dealer.
I live and breathe it.
I don't just don't see the needfor that.

(20:32):
I wouldn't do.
I wouldn't hold, you know, acertain amount over there either
.
Texas's move didn't happen in avacuum, with states like Utah
and Arkansas already recognizinggold as legal tender.
Texas has gone further bybuilding infrastructure, a step
that dovetails with its broaderindependence ambitions.

(20:53):
The Texas bullion depository,opened in 2018, was initially
billed as a way to repatriatestate gold from New York and
London.
Now it's morphing into amonetary hub for citizens to
turn their in their preciousmetal resources.
For secession advocates, thisis critical.

(21:16):
A future Republic of Texaswould need its own currency, but
not really critical.
A future Republic of Texaswould need its own currency, but
not really.
Do you know the first Texascurrency the Republic of Texas
set up after 1836, sam Houstonwould sign the notes

(21:43):
individually, like the notesfrom the, the bank of texas,
from the treasury, and he usedto authenticate it.
He used his cufflinks and he hadthese, uh, cufflinks made after
his first pistol duel.
And, uh, he had a duel wherehe's I mean it's, you could just
die, I that was back then.
There was honor was questionedand then you just pistols.
At dawn and there was a.

(22:05):
He had a vision in the morningbecause he felt like he was
going to be okay Cause he hearda rooster crow and a dog bark
and it was like a barking dogand a rooster and he would roll
that thoselinks over on thepaper.

(22:28):
This is a little differentFreedom or facade.
I'm glad that they're askingthe questions and not just
hopping on the bandwagon.
I think that you startinvolving the state in housing
your bullion.
No matter how good thetechnology is, I just like
private, I like decentralized.

(22:52):
Hb 1056 has done undeniablygroundbreaking, offering Texas a
hedge against inflation andfederal monetary abuse.
But the fine print matters.
Converting physical gold intostate-managed digital currency
may serve and solve short-termusability issues while creating
long-term dependency.
True monetary freedom requiresdirect ownership and

(23:14):
spendability, not a system wherethe state acts as a middleman.
In the end, is this plan toslowly confiscate gold and other
precious metals, centralizingcontrol?
The answer will not just shapeTexas' economy but the very

(23:35):
definition of financial liberty.
Well, that's a good questionand there's so much happening.
Look, you just mentioned in thearticle you had Utah and
Arkansas and Tennessee'sbuilding still working on the
infrastructure for their owndepository and other things
making gold and silver legaltender.

(23:55):
This is a good thing.
And the debate about who holdsit.
I think that's always critical,because people ask me about the
gold standard itself and whyyou know if I support that and I
just say we already have one.
We don't need the currency tobe, we already have a gold
standard.

(24:15):
It's the gold standard, it'sgold.
It's the price it's set.
It's a worldwide recognizedstandard.
I don't care where you are, ifyou're in Boston or Bangladesh
or Beaumont, texas, it's thesame.
That's spot price.
All right, let's go to the.

(24:36):
I want to recognize the chat.
I always forget that.
It's good to see you guys.
I see Karen Carpenter over inthe YouTube chat Good to see you
.
And then let's see, we've got aformer Star Trek writing fellow
.
It's over on YouTube.

(24:57):
It's good to see you.
Good to see you.
Guard on YouTube, it's good tosee you.
Good to see you.
Guard.
Harp says nope, give me gold,silver or give me death.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, I've still got my YouTubechannel for now.

(25:17):
That's good, isn't it?
And then over on Rumble, let mepull this up real quick.
Let's see Twisted Communicate.
Does this Texas Gold digitalaffect Wise Wolf as a business
at all?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I would assume so on some level.

(25:38):
But we're lean and mean.
We'll roll with it.
Karen Carpenter asks Tony, whatis your take on the selling of
public lands that have beenproposed several times in
various ways of late?
Well, I think you have to becareful.
The government holds massiveswaths, especially out West,

(26:03):
that had a lot to do with TeddyRoosevelt, and as long as it's
not going to some supranationalor international body, like it's
some straw buyer for the UNthat wants to rewild everything,
no-transcript, pay all thetaxes.

(26:43):
If this is going to be, uh,you're going to be billed for by
the government of spain.
Karen carver says boston,bangladesh or beaumont sounds
like a country song.
Yeah, I got that from well, notthose exact things, but all the
Bs.
I got that from ChristopherHitchens I forget what.

(27:06):
I think he used Belgrade and afew others.
It was all the Bs.
Bahrain, I think.
Let's see thing, let's see.
Now I'll have to look intowhether or not that affects me

(27:27):
as a business and I think youknow there's all the sorts of
changes that will affect WiseWolf as a business.
But as long as we're servingthe public, my mission has

(27:48):
always been my mission statementstill remains, which is to help
as many people as I can get inand out of the fiat currency
system most efficiently at thebest possible price, and that's
one of the reasons why we addedthe Bitcoin side of Wise Wolf,
which I think is important,because it's another avenue.
That's another thing that'shappening in this space.
We basically have theintersection of history.
Folks is this collision?

(28:08):
As I mentioned today on theDavid Knight show.
There's a tweet up on GoldTelegraph and he I think he
nailed it.
There's the historicalcollision between infinite and
finite and it's happening rightnow like this.
It's going to create a newworld and new pricing structure

(28:29):
for everything.
Because you have, that's whatall the governments of the world
do.
They get into a problem.
They own the printing press andthey just hit, you know, a
money printer, go burr, and itjust spits out new currency
units which devalues thembecause they are backed by
nothing.
And then you know, you wonderwhy the prices of things change.
Speaking of which, let me coverthis article.

(28:51):
And then it's never enough time.
By the way, on the show, I lovethe hour show.
Somebody mentioned earlier thatI wasn't over on WWCR.
I'm going to find out why that.
Uh, we're supposed to be liveover there.
I'll have to find out what'sgoing on wwcr.
I'm supposed to be all right.

(29:13):
Um, let's jump into this piece.
I just explanation.
Just always keep your mindsharp on what money is.
This is Zero Hedge and anarticle out of the Mises
Institute.
Douglas French says silverprice shows what government has

(29:37):
done to our money.
You hear about gas prices everyday.
He says the president bragsthat the price per gallon has
dropped to $1.99 in some places.
He says after paying over $4here in Las Vegas, I wonder
where he is talking about.
He ran on bringing down pricesat the pump, saying drill, baby

(29:58):
drill, constantly at his rallies, but in real terms gas prices
have gone down.
A line from the Wall StreetJournal piece illustrates the
point.
Silver and this is somethingthat we need to continue to
watch because I think this isthe revaluation of commodities
Silver's rally has made it worththe effort to sift through coin

(30:21):
jars looking for old dimes,quarters and half dollars.
The melt value, the melt valueof a 25 cent coin minted before
1965 that's a quarter when theywere made of silver is more than
six6.50.
That's the melt value, folks.
That's not even any intrinsicvalue or face for premium.

(30:44):
He says I'm old enough toremember 25-cent gas and someone
pumped the gas for you andchecked your oil and the
pressure in your tires.
During lunch with an old friendhe told me his kids don't know
what cash is, let alone pre-1965quarters.

(31:04):
No wonder monetary matters don'treally matter to Americans,
especially young folk.
No one seems concerned aboutthe constant devaluation of the
dollar.
High prices they blame onwhoever's president or corporate
greed.
The idea that the problem isthe constant creation of more
money escapes them, my God.

(31:28):
And isn't that so true?
It's no more.
You would look no further thansomething like the socialists
being nominated in New York.
I mean they want to do a staterun grocery stores, state run
this or that state runeverything.
Right, because the state does agreat job.
I mean, have you seen like whenpeople would come to this

(31:52):
country from places like theSoviet Union?
And you had that famous debate?
I need to get a picture.
That's one of the great iconicpictures that Nixon planned that
when he put his finger right inKhrushchev's chest at the
kitchen debate.
That's so genius.
You know, like just had to geta just nice tap there.

(32:13):
But that was such a such aniconic moment.
But they would like just marvelat the amount of choices that we
had and what was on the shelfand what was brought to market.
And they would stand in linefor hours to get their allocated
bread and things.
But you think that, well, we'vegot to have.
You know it's the market that'sdoing that.

(32:34):
What did we do immediatelyafter going off the gold
standard?
Well, we did price control.
Can't raise the prices.
We'll do price control.
Executive by fiat, executiveorder.
We do price control.
It doesn't work.

(32:56):
As Ludwig von Mises wrote, whatpeople today call inflation is
not inflation, ie the increasein the quantity of money and
money substitutes, but thegeneral rise in commodity prices
and wage rates, which is theinevitable consequence of
inflation.
The semantic innovation is byno means harmless.
Yeah, it's like you get thisdebate we have to raise the

(33:24):
minimum wage.
We've got to take it.
It's got to be $15.
It's got to be $20.
It used to be the debate.
We're going to have $5, orwe're going to have one at all.
But you're constantly going tohave to move that bar because
your purchasing power diminishes.
And, by the way, what thisarticle is showing is something
I've said for a long time Notonly do you, can you not get the

(33:47):
same, you know.
Say you're making minimum wagetoday or whatever, you're making
$20 an hour and trying to eatby.
Well, in 1960s, if you got paid, you know $1.50 and you just
had silver quarters.
As we've seen in this article,that's like making $30 an hour

(34:14):
or more In purchasing power.
That's what happens when you'vegot the manipulation of
currency.
When you've got themanipulation of currency.
The Wall Street Journal reportsof people selling silver and
some that are buying.
Daniel Hertzer, who ownsbusinesses that buy and sell
estate jewelry in White Plains,new York, said his phone's

(34:37):
ringing frequently withcustomers eager to sell jewelry
and flatware that they inheritedor no longer need.
They'd rather turn it into cash, he said Cash, that's value
will disintegrate.
Well, I'm in both sides of thatbusiness.
I mean, if you know anythingabout me, I buy and sell.

(34:57):
I'm happy to serve the publicthat way.
We give you the highestpossible prices for things that
you sell to me and then you knowI'll turn right back around and
sell those metals to someoneelse and I have that need.
You know I have to sometimessell products.
You know I have to sell thingsto raise capital.
I'm in that same boat with you.
As a matter of fact, I was justlooking for I need to bring

(35:19):
this on air sometime.
We found this 1920s era trophythat somebody sold me.
It's complete, solid sterlingand it's so weird what's written
on it.
My son found that out.
I need to polish it.
I need like a real live YouTubething or something and polish

(35:40):
it up.
It's worth restoring, but it'sworth like eight hundred dollars
or actually more.
Now it's probably worth wayover a thousand, uh, because of
the increase in the price ofprecious metals.
So silver is doing that thing.
Where it's, it's revaluatingand I think, uh, even showing
some of its true monetarystrength.

(36:00):
And gasoline, it actually hasgone down if you measure it
against what silver would havebought right Early 1960s, and
that's because we were on thepetrodollar for so long.
There's been an increase in theoutput and macro.

(36:22):
If you looked at what happenedover the weekend, even with the
Iranians saying they were goingto close the Strait of Hormuz
and everything crude went down.
Crude oil went down.
By the way, almost nothinghappened in the markets over the
weekend, which is it'sfascinating.
It's a dog that didn't bark.
I often wonder.
And it's fascinating, it's adog that didn't bark.

(36:57):
I often wonder.
Because you have to.
This is a show on just not justfinances parapolitics as well.
Parapolitics is something Idon't.
It's where discernment goes todie, individuality, clear
thought, goes to die.
2019, at the end of 2019, youhad the largest exodus of CEOs

(37:24):
in history.
Just like inexplicably, by theway, this mass exodus of CEOs
from multinational corporationsstarted pulling those golden
parachutes in the last quarterof 2019.
I thought, well, this is reallyweird.
So I started thinking somethingis up and, of course, 2020 was
around.
That's what it was.
I mean, there's a lot of timesmaybe they don't get this, they

(37:46):
don't get read in completely,but there's you have to
understand folks the tiesbetween Intelligence, espionage,
intelligence and multinationalcorporations like big, like the
banking combines that exist, theconsortiums, these flow

(38:08):
together.
There's linkage between the two, so always be aware of that.
So the market's not moving.
I thought that was perhaps atell.
All right.
Well, I want to get to where Icover everything today.
Let's see, I don't know if wecan do Don's article as well.

(38:30):
There's one other story.
Before we get to that, just alittle bit more news.
And then I want to go overDon's article because Melissa
brought something to myattention and I want to bring it
to yours for the same reason.
Don't really know what it means, but I think it tells a story,
it tells something.

(38:50):
Perhaps it'll sit with you in away.
I'm ruminating over it.
This is an interesting piece.
I had to do a couple ofdifferent searches to look, but
this is up for Gizmodo and it'sjust a little headline and

(39:11):
perhaps you wouldn't thinkanything of it, but there's
something interesting in it andit's Silicon Valley.
Executives join the Army asofficers, but they don't have to
attend boot camps.
The tech industry is fully onboard, but the rank and file
won't have to do time as grunts.

(39:31):
The US military recentlyannounced that four executives
from some of the top techcompanies in Silicon Valley have
joined the Army Reserve asdirect commissioned officers.
This move is a part of a pushto speed up the adoption of
technology in the military, but,as the news outlet Task and
Purpose points out, it's prettyunusual.

(39:53):
Yeah, it's pretty unusual, asin never.
The army said that in a pressrelease that four executives are
uh shimon sakhar and of atpalantir, andrew bosworth, cto
at meta, kevin wheel, chiefproduct officer at open ai, and

(40:16):
bob mcgrew, an advising advisorin thinking machines lab and
former chief research officerfor OpenAI.
The four men are beingcommissioned at the high rank of
lieutenant colonel, which Ibelieve is a.
Is that an O5?
I worked for a lieutenantcolonel and it took him.

(40:42):
He was in for first he wasenlisted for six years and then
he went to OCS Officer CandidateSchool at Fort Benning and then
it took him his entire careerto reach that rank.
The men will get to skip theusual process of taking a direct

(41:05):
commission course at FortBenning, georgia, and they won't
need to complete the Armyfitness test.
The Army didn't respond toquestions emailed Tuesday but
said in a statement published onthe website their swearing-in
is just the start of a biggermission to inspire more tech
pros to serve without leavingtheir careers.
Yeah, there's, and of course,gives you kind of a history of

(41:37):
Silicon Valley with with itsties to Washington going back to
the Reagan administration andit's ties to Washington going
back to the Reaganadministration.
Yeah, this is interesting andit has to do with the, I think,
ties to Palantir and thistechnocratic influence in the

(42:03):
Trump administration that we'veseen, but also very, very odd.
This is Bosworth and hisbuddies can be a bit more open
about their goals now thatTrumpism has been more
normalized in the president'ssecond term.
But they also run the risk ofhitching their wagons and the
reputation of the companies theyrepresent to a president who's

(42:26):
famous for acting recklessly.
After all, this is the guy who,just a couple of days ago, told
Tehran, a city of 10 millionpeople, to evacuate and is
heavily suggesting he's going toget the US into a war with Iran
.
That's how the article ends.
But this is an unprecedentedmove.

(42:47):
Why not just bring somebody inas a consultant?
I think there's an underlyingissue here.
So just a little something towatch.
It's an isolated incidentincident, but just imagine how
you would feel if you workedyour whole life to get to a
level where you just somebodywalks in.

(43:07):
Now you have that same kind ofcommissioning thing for doctors
and legal and JAG and stuff likethat.
But they all have to go through.
They all still have to do theproper channels.
This is just handed down.
The proper channels this isjust handed down.
There must be a reason thatthey have to be a commissioned

(43:28):
officer of some kind.
Something is underlying that.
Just something to think about.
Sometimes my job is just tobring things to you that you
might find interesting and letyou decide for yourself what is
news about that.
All right, let's jump into thisarticle.
This is a good way to end thispiece by my friend, don Jeffries

(43:53):
.
He has so many good points andI didn't even get to where I was
plugging.
Today I'm doing this.
I cover way too many articleson the show, but we pushed a lot
into the hour.
Oh, don, don always does amagnificent job of summing

(44:18):
things up in his way through thelens of hidden history Again.
Lewrockwellcom, first worldbombs from third world
Trumpenstein.
I was on RB Hamm's Beyond thePale podcast recently when I
said that it looked like DonaldTrump was giving us another of

(44:39):
his ingenious head fakes and waspulling back from Iran.
Like Donald Trump was giving usanother of his ingenious head
fakes and was pulling back fromIran.
Literally at that moment, arbyput the breaking news up on the
screen.
It brought back memories ofSyria when Israel ordered Trump
to attack them.
That's why I don't makepredictions there.
I was left looking like NellieConnolly after she told JFK well

(44:59):
, mr President, you can't sayDallas doesn't love you seconds
before shots were fired bysomeone other than Lee Harvey
Oswald.
I don't know if this means wewill become truly involved, but
I hope Trump will replay hisactions on Syria when it was one
and one done thing.
Well, one and done two times.

(45:23):
That's the thing aboutTrumpenstein he plays the part
of an effective bully, but whenIsrael talks he listens.
Supposedly, the bombseviscerated four well-known
nuclear sites in Iran.
Expect that many of us,including our own intelligence
agencies just a few months ago,don't believe there are any
nuclear sites in iran.

(45:44):
For all we know, our big,beautiful bombs killed a bunch
of civilians.
It's not like we haven'tslaughtered civilians countless
times, dating back to 1846 inthe mexican-american war, he
says.
As marjorie taylor greenpointed out, no one voted for
Trump so that he could attackIran.

(46:04):
No MAGA voter wanted to makeIran obsolete.
Tulsi Gabbard embarrassedherself by backtracking earlier
at her earlier accurate commentson Iran's nuclear capability.
Maybe RFK Jr can give her RabbiShmuley's phone number.
Maybe RFK Jr can give her RabbiShmuley's phone number.

(46:24):
We knew Trump would do betterand do whatever Israel said.
The guy that streets namedafter him there.
But at the heart of MAGA is anAmerica first philosophy no more
senseless wars, as Trump hascalled them.
Becoming entangled in Iran oranywhere else completely

(46:45):
discredits the blustery leaderof that movement.
Trump is in his fifth year aspresident.
Where's the infrastructureupgrade and what is Doge
auditing now?
When will Kash Patel make hisfirst arrest?
Caroline Leavitt is lovely andPam Bondi looks great for her
age.
That may be enough for Trumpand Stein, but not for his

(47:10):
voters.
Well, I suppose we have to showoff all that artillery.
Sometimes, when you have atrillion dollar defense budget,
people expect you to drop a fewbombs here and there.
Collateral damage, lots ofcollateral damage, is baked into
the equation.
We've mastered the art ofdestroy and rebuild during World

(47:36):
War II, the good war that somany Americans wax nostalgic
about.
That's what they're anxious for.
World War III Look how cool thelast war was.
Maybe that will cause an uptickin the marriage rates.
Soft soy boys marrying theirtough tattooed gender fluids
right before they get shippedoff to battle.
Bruce Springsteen seems reallysold on the deep state now, so

(48:00):
maybe he can play the part ofGlenn Miller and write the
soundtrack for the new worldconflict.
Lots of elderly rock starswould soon sign on as well.
Our view of patriotism was bornwith the first two world wars.
Uncle Sam says loose lips, sinkships oh, he's so right about
that.
Sink ships oh he's so rightabout that.

(48:25):
I think really too, that peopleare just desensitized so much
we don't have the same viewsthat we did.
Previous generations were veryskeptical of war and getting
into them.
And then people vote by the way.
I mean we voted to stay out ofthese things, but it just
happens anyway.
World War II was the last warthat was declared by Congress.

(48:51):
They haven't followed theirconstitutional obligations since
, despite all the nonstop,forever interventions and
occupations in far-flung, muchsmaller lands.
Jeanette Rankin was the onlymember of Congress to vote
against declaring war againstJapan.
She had to have a police escortout of the Capitol for her own

(49:15):
protection.
He spells it.
Americans don't take kindly tothose who don't vote for war.
Rankin was a real lefty, anearly feminist, but they stopped
inviting her to all the bestcocktail parties after she held
fast to her principles.
You have to love a woman whosaid you can no more win a war

(49:38):
than you can win an earthquake.
It's a stupid way of resolvingthings and we wonder why they
picketed harry truman instead ofjeanette to be our on our
counterfeit fiat currency theyhit.
Oh sorry, it was harriet tubman.
Sorry, I thought they saidharry truman.
That is true.

(50:01):
Yeah, it's another side story.
I want to talk to Don aboutJeanette Rankin.
I'm pretty sure she voted.
She was a Montana congresswoman.
I read in the biography of SamRayburn, because it's been like
23 years ago, that she alsovoted against World War I.
I need to look that up and talkto Don about it.

(50:23):
Jeanette is more forgotten nowthan the great anti-war activist
General Smedley Butler.
So what lifelong journalist forthe state Tom Brokaw called the
Greatest Generation did theirthing.
He talks about the atrocitiesof troops in the Pacific in

(51:01):
World War II and other things.
And if you want to really diginto some of that, he's got a
great breakdown of that inHidden History and in the second
follow-up.
Uh, crimes and cover-ups.
Now, yeah, this is where I waslooking at the.

(51:23):
There was operation key hall,overseen by the ally commander
dwight d eisenhower.
Lots of innocent germans died,but ike had to start his
political career somehow.
You can can read more aboutwhat a keyhole is.
They tie you to the ship andthen drag you behind it and you

(51:45):
float in and out underneath theship just barely having enough
oxygen.
They would do that to thosecertain unfortunates.
He says we've done a lot eversince.
In all those undeclared wars wefought for absolutely no logical
reason.
Of course it's a nationalsecurity thing you wouldn't

(52:06):
understand.
So, to be fair, bombing Iranfor no reason is not any more
ridiculous than fightingcontained wars in Korea and
Vietnam with demarcation zonesand no goals of strategy.
The right used to call themno-win wars.
With the first Gulf War weestablished a continuing
presence in the Middle East.
Sure burying, surrenderingsoldiers alive by plowing them

(52:31):
over in their trenches seemsharsh.
But war is hell, as the satanicwould-be serial killer William
T Sherman once said if we haveto bury you alive to make you
stop hating our freedom, we'lldo it.
And then, of course, there werethe ugly videos from the then
Bradley Manning, published byWikiLeaks, bombing civilians for

(52:53):
sport, playing soccer withdecapitated heads.
Support the troops, says Don.
Iran represents no less athreat to us than Iraq or
Afghanistan did, or Syria orpoor Yemen.
An entire wedding party inYemen was murdered during the

(53:14):
administration of the belovedBarack Obama.
Wedding party in Yemen wasmurdered during the
administration of the belovedBarack Obama.
That probably sealed the NobelPeace Prize for him.
Assassinating American citizenAnwar al-Awlaki with a drone
strike and then following upthat with the drone killing of
his 16-year-old son was justicing on the cake.
So if our troops do becomeinvolved and start shoving

(53:36):
things up the rear ends of maleIranian prisoners, as they did
so prolifically during ourstruggles with Iraq, it's
keeping with our militarystrategy.
You know what you love about Don.
He truly is like one of thewith a conscience, those writers

(54:00):
that stays consistent on thisstuff.
I have to try and find humor inthis.
How can I write seriously aboutthe situation?
Iran hasn't invaded anyone in300 years, or maybe it's 3,000.
At any rate, it's been a verylong time.
They don't represent theslightest threat to the United

(54:20):
States.
If those quote-unquote sleepercells really existed, they would
have taken down our laughablyoutdated power grids.
After some 1.5 million Iraqis,including an estimated 565,000
children, died as a result ofour embargo, you'd think that
any self-respecting terroristwould be compelled to act in

(54:42):
such a case, but not a singlesuicide bomber has done anything
in order to seek vengeance.
America has shown that it canfight any tiny country in the
Middle East to a stalemate.
Well, except for Israel.
That's who we're fighting for,after all, and when we back a
country by proxy like Ukraine,we'll work on their

(55:03):
infrastructure for them and helpsecure their border.
We just won't upgrade our owninfrastructure or secure our own
southern border.
So here we are with aworld-class military industrial
complex, lots of shiny planes,tanks and bombs, but we meet

(55:25):
every definition of a thirdworld country here at home.
Infrastructure neglected formore than 60 years.
Check Massive and wideningdisparity of wealth.
Check Homeless people campedout in tents and defecating in
the streets.
Check Massive corruption at alllevels, from school boards to

(55:48):
federal representatives.
Check Untrustworthy electoralprocess.
Check State-controlled massmedia.
Check Public officials neverheld accountable for their
actions.
Check Fraud and moneylaundering revealed but ignored.
Check Fractional reservebanking system that creates

(56:09):
money out of thin air andcharges imaginary interest on it
.
Check Court historians who lieabout our history.
Check, oh, just like the sovietunion, that's funny public
education system that hasproduced untold numbers of
illiterates.
Check, well, I thought I findthat to be be at least a

(56:37):
snapshot of the eventspost-Saturday.
And again, you can find Don'swork at donaldjeffriesmedia.
He's also on a show that we dotogether called America
Unplugged, and you can find thaton this channel, on the America
Unplugged channel over onRumble Every Saturday 12 Eastern

(57:03):
at noon.
And then Don has I Protest onFridays.
I'll be helping him tomorrow,all right?
Well, we got through that week,folks, and we'll see what lies
ahead.
I'll be here next week, we'llbe live.
We'll try to break down theheadlines and decode the
dystopia together.

(57:37):
Looking at like I just read thatarticle on silver.
Looking at what's happeningwith the fiat system all that
stuff's still intact.
I mean, if you're wanting todollar cost average, get out of
that system, start trading thoseLuciferian Bankster notes for
real, actual money, which isgold, silver or Bitcoin, then we
are your company.
And looking at the price ofgold right now $3,332.

(57:57):
$3,332.
Luciferian Bankster notes makeup a troy ounce of the yellow
metal.
Silver is at $36.69.
I believe the gold-silver ratioI checked it this morning is
about 90 ounces of silver tomake one ounce of gold, and
that's never been the case inall of recorded history until

(58:19):
this time.
So I think that's part of therevaluation process that we'll
see very soon.
So wolfpackgold If you go towolfpackgold, we can get you in
just as low as 50 bucks a monthand promo code 1776 gets you
some free silver.
You can also buy one time.
You can just buy one time andyou can use Bitcoin at no fee.

(58:40):
We're the only no-free brokerin America when you use Bitcoin.
I was looking to see the priceof Bitcoin.
Let's do a real-time here.
Let's do Bitcoin news, bitcoinprice.
I wanted to check that out.
I think we're just right above$106,000.

(59:01):
Yeah, $107,000 actually is upsince the beginning of the
broadcast.
$107,162.93 for a Bitcoin.
I think that's another start ofan entire this.
Again, this is the collision ofinfinite versus finite, and
that's where we're.

(59:21):
It's part of the dialecticfolks, part of what's going on,
this cyclical part of history.
This is the historical forcesthat are meeting right here, all
right.
Also and I've neglected to dothis, but there's so much going
on If you've seen me advertiseit before, but I'm neglected to
do this, but there's so muchgoing on If you've seen me
advertise it before.
But I'm going to start talkingabout my other sponsor.
I've been with them for 23years and that's LegalShield.

(59:45):
I forgot to just.
It's important that I tell theaudience about it because of
what it does.
But as far as unlimitedconsultation, pick up the phone,
talk to an attorney anytime.
You can get anytime.
There's no billing, it'sunlimited.
You can have your documentsreviewed, you can send them your
tickets.
You get pulled over.

(01:00:05):
It's a law firm for the price ofa cup of coffee a day.
It's like 30 bucks a month.
And you get audit protection,lawsuit protection.
I've got all the bells andwhistles, even for my business.
You can go topeoplesprotectionplancom.
Peoplesprotectionplancom.
Check lawsuit protection.
I've got all the bells andwhistles, even for my business.
You can go topeoplesprotectionplancom.

(01:00:28):
I'll be talking about that moreand it's such a great sponsor,
so check that out, see what itcan do for you and your family.
I've been with them, like Isaid, for 23 plus years Great,
great product and we need itmore than ever in this climate.
So you guys take care of eachother.
I'll be back next week with uh,with beans, the brave end of
transmission.
