#517 Golden Rules: How China's Playing While the West Sleeps

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
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.

(00:25):
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.
Veteran of three foreign wars,entrepreneur and warrior, poet,

(00:47):
tony Arterburn takes on theissues facing our country,
civilization and planet.
This is the Arterburn RadioTransmission.
So we are transmittingworldwide.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
We are transmitting worldwide live from the green
room in sunny California, alongwith my co-pilot and co-host,
beans the Brave.
I am your host, as always, tonyArterburn, broadcasting in

(02:06):
defiance of globalist goblins,the neocons and the new world
order.
I'm using some new equipmenttoday and I'm on the road, so
I'm hoping that if you're in thechat, just let me know that the
audio is coming through.
Okay, we're going to jump intosome stories today.
I was on the plane yesterdaycoming out from Dallas to Los
Angeles, coming out from Dallasto Los Angeles, and I've made
myself get into paperbacks andactual books again.

(02:30):
I love books and I carry myKindle with me and I've become
so reliant on it and I had theopportunity to dive back into an
old Jim Mars book.
It's called Rule by Secrecy andit's about secret societies,
about groups like the TrilateralCommission, the Council on

(02:53):
Foreign Relations, theIlluminati, other things, the
secret societies and secretorders of things.
And I was sitting on the planeand I didn't use the Wi-Fi.
A lot of times I'll use theWi-Fi and check my messages and
stuff, but I didn't this time.
I just took the opportunity notto be bothered and one of the

(03:16):
beans is over here in the chairnext to me she's digging, she's
making herself a little nest,but I found myself enjoying the
fact that I wasn't beingbothered and that I wasn't
hooked up to any electronics andI was just taking in, soaking
in the work of Jim Mars, and I'dforgotten just how well

(03:39):
researched, how balanced, and,again, the depth of knowledge
that we just so lack today.
And and being in an alternativemedia, being in the realm of
the conspiracy theory, ofhistory, and all the things that
I proudly do, we are just, weare inundated with stupid I'm

(04:01):
sorry it is.
It's so much clickbait, so muchmisinformation, and there's
like five different storiestoday about the fallout of the
assassination, the murder ofCharlie Kirk and how it's
affecting our paradigm and ourreality and how we view the
world, and I think that's reallyimportant.

(04:22):
But at the same time, I thinkit highlights and I was texting
with Melissa earlier I think ithighlights just how strange, how
dumbed down things have gotten,because in the wake of that, I
thought there was some reallygood research done and then also
just massive amounts ofclickbait, massive amounts of

(04:46):
nonsense, of BS, just to what,to get ahead of the pack, so to
speak, to stand out, to get moreviews, to get more downloads or
whatever it is, and I find thatto be we're.
So we made such a departurefrom where we were with people

(05:07):
like Jim Mars, who died in 2017.
And just sitting there reading,I read the first two chapters of
Rule by Secrecy and just inthose two chapters alone, like
the dense amount of history andwe forget because we're on this
crazy timeline where we're justbombarded with stuff.
Every week is a new cycle of anew thing, but we forget there's

(05:28):
a whole past.
There's a continuity of eventsand cause and effect that roll
back and create our currentreality.
So I think it's important thatwe talk a little bit about that
in the coming weeks.
I want to focus more on realhistory, hidden history, what I

(05:48):
can prove, or at least the bestevidence of things.
I've listened to severalpodcasts in the past few days
where I just go what are youeven talking about?
I don't understand it.
There's a big need for themonetization of information,
especially when it comes toalternative media and things

(06:10):
like that.
I think, really, this is beyondthat.
It's probably more in the realmof something epical happened.
Something terrible has beeninjected into our discourse and
into our reality and they coverit up by just throwing
everything at it.
It's something David Knightsaid a long time ago.

(06:31):
And you know, you take thetruth and the truth is a loaf of
bread and you give it tosomebody, but you throw a roach
in there and say, hey, you know,enjoy your loaf of bread.
Well, that roach ruinseverything.
And say, hey, enjoy your loafof bread.
Well, that roach ruinseverything.
And I think that the proverbialroach is out there writ large
in the headlines.
Ladies and gents, I'm going tocheck the comments.

(06:58):
Make sure that I'm coming inloud and clear.
Yeah, I just.
Oh, sounding good.
That's good.
Thanks, guard.
Guard says I'm sounding good.
I just wanted to make surebecause on my headset I normally
can't hear myself, but I'm onthis portable roadcaster mic
today.
Well, again, it is the 25th ofSeptember 2025.

(07:19):
Let's jump into what I think isimportant today, and a lot of
that.
You know I was on the DavidKnight show this morning.
I think you know we forget,with all of the, the events
happening, everything unfolding.
It's kind of a.
There's a lot of distractions.
You have different, differentthings calling your name.

(07:42):
You want to look at that, lookat this, and I try to stay as
focused as I can on thegeopolitical issues, the big
macro picture and, folks, I'mtelling you I've never seen
anything like this.
We're, we're, we are livingthrough history.
You're watching the control,demolition of the current
monetary order, which is nosmall feat.

(08:05):
I mentioned that on the showwith David today.
We're going to talk a little bitabout gold and silver and
Bitcoin today, but somethingabout the market conditions
pushing the prices of thesecommodities, I think says
everything about where we'reheaded and I want you to pay

(08:26):
attention to this because I knowthe average person is hurting
right now.
There's an article up I'm goingto read from Zero Hedge, from
the Michael Snyder EconomicCollapse blog, about what people
are really putting emphasis onand importance to right now, and
it's their pocketbook and theirinability to get ahead.
But there's something to rightnow and it's their pocketbook
and their inability to get ahead.

(08:47):
But there's something happeningright now and I think that the
major financial networks are notgoing to talk about this
because it really upsets theparadigm and what they want to
sell you, which is, you know,happy days are here again and
all is well, and then just putyour head down and follow the
advice of the oligarchs andeverything's going to be OK.

(09:08):
I found this article highlyinteresting.
This is Kitco and again we'regoing to get into this and a
little bit of Caitlin Johnston'stake on something interesting
in the wake.
Also one of the things thatreally did happen in the wake of
the charlie kirk assassination.

(09:29):
Uh, that, I think, is a one ofthose signposts I always talk
about like it was a the twilightzone.
I always stuck with me rodsterling.
It was just signposts up ahead.
It's the twilight zone.
It's a marker of time here.
Let me put this up on thescreen.
This is Kitco.

(09:49):
All right, one second.
Always good to be my ownproducer.
Yeah, this is Kitco.
Gold's gains are historic andunnerving and represent a
deliberate recalibration of theglobal order.
This is SPI's Stephen Einz.

(10:10):
Gold price gains are great forprecious metal investors, but
the yellow metal surge towards$4,000 per ounce also reveals a
degree of economic andgeopolitical anxiety not seen
since the late 1970s, accordingto Stephen Ein's managing
partner at SPI Asset Management.

(10:32):
He says, quote gold isn't justclimbing, it's blazing a trail
that feels both historic andunnerving.
Prices surge another 1% onTuesday, pulling the $4,000 per
ounce marker into clearer viewand extending a run that now
sees the metal up 45% this year.
Yeah, the metal's up 45% thisyear.

(10:55):
It's also the dollar's down 40%against gold in one year alone.
So the purchasing price of thedollar has eroded 40% against
gold, ladies and gentlemen, inthe last year, but everything's
okay.
You should definitely go andget some FANG stocks In doing so
.
Gold has extended past itsinflation-adjusted peak from

(11:17):
1980, scaling above every keenpsychological resistance and
pressing higher into unchartedterritory.
Keen psychological resistanceand pressing higher into
uncharted territory.
Eames said the yellow metal'smomentum isn't just about
inflation.
If it were, the bond marketwould be sounding alarms with
spiking long-dated yields and asteepening curve, he said.

(11:38):
Instead, gold's rise is feedingon a cocktail for far stronger
central bank accumulation, on acocktail for far stronger
central bank accumulation,capital flight from fiat
currencies and geopoliticalhedging.
That reeks of systemic mistrust.
Well, that really sums it up.
Just a paragraph of you knoweverybody, why is gold up?

(11:58):
Where's it going?
Well, it's a cocktail centralbank accumulation, capital
flight from fiat currencies andgeopolitical hedging, and I love
that.
I used that word a couple ofweeks ago.
It reeks Reeks of systemicmistrust.
And what is everything?
Built on the markets lovecertainty, but what they love

(12:20):
more than anything, folks, whatmarkets really love.
If you want to have a thriving,healthy economy, trust.
That's why you have thebreakdown of order so easily in
a third world country or abanana republic.
It's so easy to lose everythingovernight because of the lack

(12:40):
of trust.
Nobody knows who to trust.
That's really the basis ofcivilization and Western
civilization, especially asproperty rights, trust and the
ability to rely on somethingthat is done today will be like
that tomorrow.
It's not since the chaos of1979, when investors gave up

(13:02):
hope of taming inflation andgold more than doubled in a
single year, have we seen such aferocious and sustained change.
But this isn't just aninflation panic.
Unlike 2011's rally fueled byquantitative easing and fear of
money printing, this move feelsmore calculated, more anchored

(13:23):
in sovereign choices rather thanretail frenzy.
This is exactly what I've beensaying since 2022 and I think
we're still dealing with thefallout of that and I'm going to
talk a little bit about.
There's an article onantiwarcom I want to talk about

(13:43):
regarding the Russia-Ukraine thenever-ending war.
It's like the never-endingstory.
I'm going to get into that.
Something happened in 2022 withthe invasion of Ukraine by
Russia, and that is the massiveincrease in de-dollarization.

(14:09):
And when that happened, folks,there's another metric that
kicked off, and I've watchedthis really closely At the time,
jerome Powell, the head of theFederal Reserve.
They were raising interestrates starting in the end of
2021, I believe, and he raisedinterest rates faster than any
other Fed chair in history,trying to curtail the massive

(14:31):
amount of unprecedentedtrillions upon trillions that
were dumped into the market fromthe great scandemic and I
remember watching this and theywould raise interest rates and
then gold would go up, andthat's never happened before, to
my knowledge.
If you're a gold bug like me andyou study history on the

(14:52):
monetary system, normally whenthere is a move and that's why
he mentions 1979, this is thehead of the Federal Reserve in
1979 was Paul Volcker theyraised interest rates to the
teens.
Gold was $35 an ounce in 1971.
It was $800 an ounce at the endof 1979.

(15:12):
The reason being is because wehad runaway inflation and so
they raised interest rates tothe teens.
That helped at least at thattime.
Of course, you're dealing witha much smaller crisis because of
the debt of the US was onlyabout a trillion dollars at the
time, not $37 trillion, with,you know, unfunded liabilities

(15:34):
in the quadrillions or whateverit is.
But you have.
You had that pullback in goldand silver in 1979, but the
opposite happened, and I I'm notalone in noticing that.
So this started to have thisdeparture, where gold no longer

(15:55):
acted like it used to.
And, um, now we're starting tosee this kick in with silver as
well, which I want to talk about.
To see this kick in with silveras well, which I want to talk
about.
Ayn said central banksthemselves are driving today's
gold press rally.
Countries are deliberatelydiversifying away from the

(16:16):
dollar, not out of mania, butfrom cold strategic calculus.
Beijing's decision to openShanghai as an alternative vault
for official reserves is moresymbolic than structural, yet it
broadcasts a loud truth Anyadjustment to the architecture
of the global financial systemscarries with it an implicit bid
for gold.
That's another thing.

(16:38):
Okay, these little subtleheadlines like Russia making
silver a strategic reserve asset.
About a year or so ago, Ithought this is major news.
Last week we talked about HongKong being made a trading hub
and a storage facility forphysical gold up to 2,000 tons

(17:01):
by the airport.
All this is under the peripheryof China, and if you look at the
way that wealth movesthroughout history.
It's again.
It's the golden rule he who hasthe gold makes the rule.
China knows this.
They're running the simulations.
You look at the West I meanCanada has no gold reserves.
Something's inherently wrongwith the Western fiat system

(17:24):
reserves.
Something's inherently wrongwith the Western fiat system and
it has a weakness, obviously.
And then China's playing tothat, trying to reset how
business is done around theworld, and especially in
commodities pricing.
That is no small thing and Ithink this is one of those
markers that makes it's thegradually, then suddenly, part.
So something to pay attentionto.

(17:46):
And while skeptics point to theongoing strength of US equity
markets and doubt gold's abilityto outpace the tech giants,
einz believes the hiddenscaffolding of both rallies
shows that it can.
Us shares are flying not purelyon fundamentals but on the

(18:08):
steady drip of monetarydebasement, he wrote.
Last week's Fed cut was hardlya surprise, but the chair's
insistence that there is norisk-free way forward
underscores the fragility of thebackdrop.
Even as Powell tries to resistpolitical pressure for more
aggressive easing, investorssense that money supply is
expanding again and fiatcredibility is fraying at the

(18:30):
edges.
Well, that's just it, isn't it?
You have a fiat system aroundthe world that is dying.
I mean, this is an alarmistrhetoric, folks.
You know me, I'm not trying tojust throw something out there
for effect.
If I was going to do that, I'ddone you know three podcasts by

(18:53):
now of how interdimensionalvampires killed Charlie Kirk or
something Like.
If I wanted to be that off thecharts weird I would be.
You know, and I definitely havea lot more listeners, but I'm
looking at this and telling youthat this kind of even when
you're looking at the headlinesthat the system itself is

(19:17):
crumbling, when you're talkingabout monetary issues, and that
feeds into everything else,which begs a question that we'll
get to a little bit later.
It's like how do you stopgapthat If you're in charge of the
hegemonic, dominant dollarsystem?
How do you stopgap, at leasttemporarily, a flight away from

(19:40):
the dollar?
As Gerald Salente says, whenall else fails, they take you to
war.
That's why it isn't just abouttraders chasing momentum.
It's about central banks,sovereign wealth funds and long
horizon investors quietlyshifting their compass towards
hard collateral.

(20:00):
The hardest money wins, folks.
Gold always wins.
Hard money always wins in theend Whatever's the hardest money
and you can window dress and doa lot of other things and
definitely can get, at leastseemingly, very wealthy on paper

(20:21):
doing a lot of other things,and God bless you if you can't.
But the historical shift thatwe're in right now, this needs
to be paid attention to.
If 1979 was a firestorm of fearand 2011 was a retail panic
wrapped in QE doubt, then 2025is shaping up to be a deliberate

(20:42):
recalibration of the globalorder.
The lesson from history is thesame Ignore gold's message at
your peril, yeah, at your peril.
Everything that is changingright now, I think, is the

(21:04):
culmination, it's the quickening, if you will, of everything
that has gone on Since 1971.
I can't emphasize this enough.
It's the quickening, if youwill, of everything that has
gone on since 1971.
I can't emphasize this enough.
We're talking about, you know,parapolitics, precious metals.
These things flow together Ifyou go back to the 1970s, which
are a good indicator of whathappens when you, you know,

(21:26):
depart from a metallic systemand go to a fiat system.
Like I said earlier, gold wasclose to $800 an ounce at the
end of 1979, but you got toadjust that for inflation folks,
okay, so you have inflation andloss of purchasing power inside
of that.
So we crossed that metric justabout, I think, three weeks ago,

(21:49):
where that adjusted forinflation amount.
So the 879 into 7980, adjustedfor inflation, was about 3600 or
so at the price of gold.
So we crossed that Rubicon.
So gold really is in terms ofdollars and in terms of value

(22:10):
based on the monetary system, isat its all-time high.
Silver, however, is nowherenear that and from my own
business and what I'm seeingright now, just a little bit of
Intel and I think other dealersare seeing this and we're buying
a massive amounts of silverSilver's coming in.
I did two hours at my shop inDenison, texas, yesterday just

(22:34):
working the counter, fivetransactions.
So there was five transactions.
Of the five transactions, fiveof them were silver buying.
So just 20 rounds here, a10-ounce bar, a kilo bar,
whatever it is, I'm buying it.
People are just selling thatsilver.
There were no buyers for silver, but the price continues to go

(22:56):
up and the reason it does isbecause institutions are buying.
I even said on the David Knightshow today I'm I'm hesitant to
even sell my silver now when Iget it in because I think, okay,
if I can start, if I could justhold on to this, I mean, and I
can't really afford to do it allthe time.
As a dealer you have to move.
It's about speed and getting itout the door and pricing that

(23:19):
in for your margins so you canmake payroll.
But I think, gosh, if I couldjust keep it, if I could just
hold on to it.
I do that a lot with the silverdollars.
I may stop selling the sterlingsilver that I buy.
I may just leave that alone.
I may just set it aside and putit on the balance sheet Like

(23:44):
your forks and your spoons andknives and other stuff.
I may just start putting thataside.
I don't know strategically if Ican, but it definitely would
make a lot of sense.
All right, well, thanks foreverybody joining today.
I really appreciate it.
We're doing this show live fromon the road.

(24:04):
I don't like to miss my showsif at all possible, and luckily
I've got a great setup here.
I'll be.
I've got some meetings and apodcast out here in California,
so I'll enjoy a little bit ofsunshine and I'm so glad Beans
could go.
A little side note YesterdayBeans was informed by American

(24:30):
Airlines that she's going tolose her service dog status.
I have to fill out morepaperwork.
They kind of hit me up at thelast minute and I thought well,
she's with me, I'm flying withher and hopefully I don't want
to put her in a crate, I'm notgoing to do that, she goes with
and I'm not going to do that toher.

(24:51):
So I have to figure somethingelse out, maybe a different
airline.
Melissa asked a Mohawk WildWoman says where are you, Tony?
Where are you?
I'm in California.
You know that I'm in Cali.
We've got a meeting with somepodcasters too this week.

(25:12):
Maybe somebody you know.
I'm going to definitely meetwith Sam Tripoli out here too,
just checking.
Oh, that's really nice.
Harp says ain't no sunshinewhen you're not on.
I appreciate that.
Kenny F Empowers Hi, tony andBeans the Brave.
Good to see y'all.

(25:34):
Always good to see Guard too.
I try to put as many stories asI can here on art, so I
definitely.
I'll check the comments andthen we'll we're going to keep
on.
I'll check the comments andthen we'll we're going to keep
on.
Melissa wants to know where.

(25:58):
You know where I'm recordingfrom.
I'm in the green room.
All right, let's go to.
Let's go to the rumble chat too.
Yeah, if you want to catch thisprogram.
If you're listening to us onWWCR or finding us on podcasts,
you can always check out theprogram on the America Unplugged

(26:18):
channel over on.
Rumble and at Tony Arterburn onmy ex and for right now.
If you really want to try, youcan do YouTube.
I don't know how long it'lllast.
Birdhouse Blues, the mahoganyman really nice studio.

(26:39):
It's not mine, but I have theprivilege of of using the studio
, so, all right, let's keep.
Let's keep it going.
All right, all right, let'skeep, let's keep it going.
Um, yeah, I was looking at thetwitter account or x account of
gold telegraph and first thingon there uh, just scrolling down

(27:01):
was that the bloomberg had donea story on the shanghai gold
exchange connected to hong kong.
I go, exactly that's what I'vebeen talking about.
So at least somebody else isseeing the same thing.
I am Okay, let's jump aroundhere a bit.
I saw this over onlewrockwellcom and we can at
least have a conversation on.

(27:24):
Let me put this up on thescreen, let's see.
We can at least have aconversation on how strange this
is In many ways.
This is, I think, good for thediscourse and at least get some
conversations going.
I like when we have some.

(27:47):
What does Thomas Jefferson sayabout revolutions are like a
storm in the atmosphere.
Well, I think a lot ofpolitical revolutions can be a
good thing, and revolutions ofthought can be even better.
You should always questionnarratives.
You should always questionyourself why do I believe this?
It's like I believe becauseI've read so much Pat Buchanan.
And I believe because I read somuch Pat Buchanan and because I

(28:10):
saw the evidence in front of meas a young man that free trade
policies were awful.
I thought there has to be abetter way.
And then I found Pat Buchanan'swork and I subscribed to the I
think economic nationalism, likehe did.
Well, now that I'm in a smallbusiness, I'm 45.

(28:31):
I've seen a lot of thingshappen in my lifetime and I see
what's happening now and Iwonder if I'm right.
I wonder maybe it doesn't work.
Maybe you can't have aresponsible government that
actually uses strategic tariffsand other things to protect the
American worker?
Maybe you can't, maybe we'retoo far, maybe the only thing to

(28:55):
do is just to have thatDarwinism, and I don't like that
, because I love the Americanpeople and I still believe that
free trade agreements are theTrojan horse for global
government and I I think that it, uh, is a siphoning of wealth.
I believe all of that, um, butin a classical sense.
Perhaps I'm wrong and I I don'tmind questioning my own beliefs

(29:18):
there, especially in the wakeof, you know us using tariffs is
another way to weaponize thedollar, and especially when you
know, I guess modern politiciansdon't believe in math.
I don't know what to say aboutthat.
I mean, that's what I wonderedwhy Are you in on this, that you
don't want some sort ofeconomic nationalism where we

(29:42):
protect our workers and usetariffs to fund the government?
Like you don't like mathematics, or you like the mathematics
the way they are, and that wasalways what I came back to.
All right, this is.
Caitlin Johnston wrote anarticle that Lou Rockwell
republished and interestingheadline.

(30:04):
Netanyahu keeps makingstatements saying Israel didn't
kill Charlie Kirk.
By the way, I've noticed this.
One of the weirdest thingshappening right now is how
Israel's prime minister keepsgoing out of his way to make
public statements saying thatIsrael was definitely not behind
the assassination of CharlieKirk.
In a two-minute video uploadedonto his Twitter account on

(30:28):
Wednesday, netanyahu complainedthat somebody quote has
fabricated a monstrous big liethat Israel had something to do
with Charlie Kirk's horrificmurder, saying the allegation is
insane, it is false, it isoutrageous and that Charlie
loved Israel.
A few days earlier, netanyahuhad appeared on the highly

(30:51):
sympathetic Newsmax to spendanother couple of minutes
ranting about how insane, stupidand ridiculous it is to claim
that Israel was behind Kirk'sdeath, saying he can't believe
that people are saying that Well, I mean okay.

(31:23):
Well, there's a lot of.
If you're plugged in to beyondsurface level, if you're not
being fed the news like that'swhy it's a news feed, ladies and
gentlemen You're being fed thenews like you're like a trough.
If you're not doing that, andmaybe you question things and
look around for a little while,or you realize that the dancing
Israelis that were arrested on9-11-2001 were detained in
federal prison by authoritiesfor 70 days and then released
because they had ties to Mossadand then went on Israeli

(31:43):
television and said that theywere there to quote, document
the event and things like that.
I to further its cause or itsnarrative or whatever, and I

(32:16):
think these are open questions.
But it's interesting that hewould go.
You know, it's kind of likeShakespeare Methinks thou dost
protest too much.
I don't know what.
I've never seen them act thatway.
This is what Caitlyn Johnstonsays.
This is like repeatedly goingout in public to yell.

(32:39):
I did not have a sex dreamabout my cousin, so that nobody
thinks you had a sex dream aboutyour cousin.
People are going to walk awaywith a strong impression, and
you probably did.
At this time I have no positionon the emerging theories that
Israel was involved in theassassination.
But, damn dude, really notquelling the suspicion there.

(33:00):
That's what I thought and again, I don't think there's enough
good evidence.
It's kind of like, uh and I'mnot making that allegation, by
the way um, I just don't know.
I think whatever happened tocharlie kirk on september 10th

(33:24):
um was not whatever the officialnarrative is.
I mean, seriously, folks readthe transcript of the supposed
shooter, the Tyler guy.
Read that with his furrypartner or whatever it was.
That's AI-generated.
So I don't the the symbology tothe Mouser and I just I have so

(33:54):
many questions like thisdoesn't make any sense.
So official narrative is kindof like Vegas or Steven Paddock
into a three-letter agency orwhatever, like you're never
really going to know.
And then you have so muchdisinformation, which I think is
a good conversation to have,because I love alternative media
.
But, mike, we have justdescended into this cacophony of

(34:18):
weapons-grade degeneration ofthought and it's almost like
there's several things going outjust making it poisoning the
well of any good researchbecause it becomes so outlandish
and so over the top.
Israel's foreign ministry isclaiming that Gaza flotilla

(34:46):
bringing aid to starvingcivilians is actually Haman.
That's right, and this is theso-called flotilla to Gaza is
openly backed by jihadist Hamas.
Yeah, this is another part ofthe flip and script of the
narrative.
Trump has announced plans todesignate Antifa as a terrorist

(35:07):
organization, which liberalshave hastened to point out as a
legal absurdity, since Antifa isnot an actual entity in any
meaningful way.
Well, I think, in this line oflogic too and all the fall—,
this is where we have to stepback and get really sober and
look at this.
Like everything that happenspost-September 10th and the

(35:30):
designation of terroristorganizations and the cracking
down or the saying that you knowif you criticize, you know if
you, if you criticize the legacyof Charlie, I can get fired in
less than two sentences was likecontradicting herself.
Saying we're going to backemployers who fire people and

(35:53):
we're also going to black backin the employees who were fired
for supporting Charlie.
So if you're against Charlieand you get fired, you say
something heinous, which, by theway, is heinous in and of
itself.
But I believe in free speech and, you know.
Sometimes it's good to know whopeople are.
That's like what I heardsomebody say one time about
burning the American flag Likewe'll get a flag amendment.

(36:15):
It's like that's not a goodidea.
I'd kind of like to know whowants to burn the flag.
I'm the same way.
I'd like to know you shouldhave the absolute right to burn
it and you should also be seenas the person who burns the flag
, if that makes any sense.
But I thought that there's a lotof danger in the fallout of

(36:36):
this and so much of it tracksback to again.
I think it's a healthyconversation to have.
What was Charlie thinking?
Who was pressuring him?
I think we know who.
You know what.

(37:12):
Who was pressuring him?
I think we know who.
But he definitely crossed somelines, just bringing up, you
know, the genocide in Gaza andwhat's happening to the
Palestinian people and the heavyhandedness of it all and the
influence that that foreigngovernment has on the United
States of America, which I'm nota fan of.
I'm not a fan of any foreigngovernment having control over
the destiny and foreign policyof the country that I love, land
that I love and country that Iswore an oath to protect and
defend against all enemies,foreign and domestic.

(37:38):
And she goes on to say since Ibegan criticizing the Trump
administration's aggressiveassaults on free speech in the
wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I've had American rightists
falling all over themselves inmy social media notifications
trying to justify governmentcensorship.
Yeah, they really do.
Isn't that sad to watch?
You know, because I'm of theright, I consider myself, you

(38:01):
know I'm.
I'm from a way way back.
You know I'm a paleoconservative John Birch Society
member.
You know I'm a paleoconservative John Birch Society
member, still am, proudly I love.
I consider myself a devotee ofGary Allen, who wrote None Dare
Call a Conspiracy, and his takewas that you know, on the on the
spectrum of left and right, youknow in the traditional sense

(38:23):
they.
You know what they want toteach you in government schools
is that you know, to the left iscommunism and then to the right
is nazism.
So, like you know, the furtherright you go, you're nazi.
For the left you go, you're a,a communist.
And um, gary allen said no,actually, the further right you
go is no government and thefurther everything is on the

(38:44):
left is totalitarian, becausethat's social control, that's
central planning, that's karlmarx, no matter how you slice it
.
You have national socialism,you have international socialism
, it doesn't matter.
It's still on the left, so yougo to the right.
So I consider myself as I even Iget older.
That's why I mentioned thingslike free trade, and I'm willing

(39:05):
, and I still have whatAristotle, you know, said that
the mark of an intelligent mindwas the ability to entertain two
ideas at once without acceptingeither.
You can entertain the ideas, soI'm of the old right and they
definitely are falling all overthemselves to push for

(39:25):
censorship.
I think it's the whole point.
Yesterday I had multiple Trumpsupporters try to tell me that
it should be illegal to lie andthat anyone who tells lies
should be stopped from lying bythe government.
One of them told me he's ananarchist.
You can't make this stuff up.
I think this is where we are,and I think this is where we are

(39:51):
in this timeline, up and down,left and right doesn't matter.
It's crazy.
People have lost theirequilibrium.
I think that's kind of thepoint and that's probably
indicative of something like afourth turning.
You know, the last fourthturning we had was culminated in
the end of World War II in 1945, and institutions were

(40:20):
destroyed.
Europe was in ashes.
Japan had had two atomicweapons dropped on it.
The United States held aboutmore than 50% of the world's
wealth and it was 5% of theworld's population.
So new institutions rose out ofthat.
You had Bretton Woods, the IMF,the World Bank, and again the
National Security State was bornin 1947, the CIA, the NSA, the

(40:41):
Air Force, all the things thatwere born out of the 1947 wake
of, and, of course, the Russiansand Soviets getting the bomb.
And then you had the documentNSC, national Security Council,
document 68, which ratified allof that.
But those institutions arewaning and coming to an end.

(41:05):
So in the I I think, deaththroes of a lot of perceived
institutions, um, people arejust uh, losing it, for lack of
a better term, like it's uh,being off balance, off kilter.
It's why it's so important toground yourself and uh, in
eternal truths, um, especiallyin the times in which we live.

(41:27):
So interesting, interestingquestions raised by Caitlin
Johnston.
All right, I'm going to takethis off the screen, and then
I've got one more article I wantto get into before we close out
.
This was up on antiwarcom,let's see.

(41:49):
Billy Ray Valentine of theInfinite Fringe podcast says
Before we close out, this was upon antiwarcom.
I see Billy's in this.
Billy Ray Valentine of theInfinite Fringe podcast says yo,
I'm looking back through thecomments.
I'm trying to do better gettinginto the comments because I
will get going on articles andthen look up and realize I just

(42:12):
didn't get to everything.
Yeah, moak Wild Woman says whydid they take down the crime
scene?
Only the FBI.
I know Same thing.
It's the same thing with Vegas.
Kenny F Empower says I asked mymagic eight ball.
It says all signs point toIsrael.

(42:32):
Yeah Well, I mean, what's thepositive of all this?
By the way, if you and it's oneof the reasons like uh, I wanted
to go back to source material,that's why I started buying.
Like I'm just going to from mylibrary, I'm buying all the old,

(42:52):
anything in copy that I can getof Jim Mars.
I reordered some James Perloffbooks, don Jeffries, that made
broadcasts like mine possible,where I can mix a little bit of
political headlines andmainstream narrative with

(43:12):
parapolitics or the conspiracytheory of history and a little
bit of all finance and allhistory.
It's good and I stand on theshoulders of those guys.
Or David Knight, you know the.
I get the privilege of talkingto him every Thursday and you
know I've watched him for yearsand I, you know, I get to talk
to him, the people that pavedthe way, and we need to have a

(43:35):
little bit of something toground ourselves on.
That could be you know yourfaith or your you know your.
Every day I read two pages ofthe Bible.
It doesn't make me a pastor oranything, I'm just saying I do
that, staying, staying rooted inin Western civilization, my
faith and spirituality and otherthings I read.
Joseph Murphy, I think, isanother important um person in

(43:56):
my life to um remind me that thereality that is out there is
created by us, the words we use,what we pay attention to, the.
You know, even quantum physicssays that, like what you observe
, like the observer, in so manyways creates the observed, like
we make this reality.
I think a lot of the reality wehave now is a manifestation of

(44:21):
some real.
You know some things that havehappened that have been
traumatic, like 9-11 or whateveryou want to, the Charlie Kirk
shooting.
Somebody's ringing me but I'mnot sure how to answer it.
You guys might have to put upwith it.
All right, let's jump into thelast article of the day.

(44:43):
This is antiwarcom, antiwarcomand I think you know, as I'm
picking out articles for youguys, these are I only pick out
the most important things that Ican find and stuff that would

(45:04):
define the week or define theheadlines, because we have an
hour and this is something towatch.
This is antiwarcom.
Just hot off the press Report,trump was made aware of
Ukrainian counteroffensive planthat requires US intelligence
support.
According to the Wall StreetJournal, the president learned

(45:25):
of the plan before he saidUkraine can retake all the
territory Russia has captured.
This is by Dave DeCamp, by theway.
President Trump was made awareof a planned Ukrainian
counteroffensive that requiresUS intelligence support before
he posted a long statement onTrue Social, where he insisted
that Ukraine could retake all ofthe territory Russia had

(45:48):
captured since 2022.
And it may even go further, theWall Street Journal reported on
Wednesday.
Us officials told the journalthat the president made the post
after spending time with hisspecial envoy to Ukraine, keith
Kellogg, and Mike Waltz, hisformer national security advisor

(46:11):
, who now serves as the USambassador to the UN.
Kellogg recently said the UScould kick Russia's ass and
insisted Ukraine could win thewar despite continued gains in
eastern Ukraine.
It's a clear advantage withmanpower and industrial capacity
.
Um, this is the dumbest, mostarrogant, hubristic, brain dead,

(46:40):
weapons grade retarded thingI've heard um in my almost all
of my broadcasting years.
This has this has to take thecake.
Kellogg, keith Kellogg.
I think there's moreintellectual substance in a bowl

(47:04):
of Kellogg's than this guy Cankick Russia's ass.
Really, of course this is.
This is peak, whatever.
Whatever this is, we're hittingthe peak of it.
I think, um prelude to, toidiocracy.

(47:25):
Um, I can't tell you, folks, doyou realize that, like in past
times, this is serious time?
I said on the David Knight showtoday that I believe we're in
the most dangerous part ofgeopolitical threats that we

(47:47):
have been in since 1962, sincethe Cuban Missile Crisis of 13
days, and you didn't have thatkind of rhetoric coming out of
Washington.
You had JFK and you had highrhetoric.
You had thought, and that's whywe didn't die in a nuclear

(48:07):
exchange, you know, that's whywe weren't inc in a nuclear
exchange, you know.
So I weren't incinerated bythermonuclear war is because you
had a, a, a man like JFK, whounderstood that.
You know a lot of theoutcroppings and what happens,
you know, in the culmination ofwar is, uh, is arrogance and
it's misguided and it alwaysends in ruin.

(48:29):
Wow, I read this earlier todayand I'm just rereading it.
Boy, that really sticks with me.
That is some dangerous,dangerous language.

(49:08):
Ladies and gents.
Heath Kellogg, keith Kellogghas never seen someone die in
front of him.
He's never seen a crying childstanding in the rubble of
something that's on fire.
He's never seen a motherripping out her own hair because
her kids were lit up at acheckpoint.
He's never smelled dead bodies.

(49:30):
Um, he doesn't know what thehell he's talking about.
And that's like a lot of thisthese type of people that get to
where they are, um, and maybethey never learned, cause they
just, uh, use your children andyour family members as cannon
fodder, um, because they'reexpendable, because you're not
part of their cocktail partiesand you didn't go to their

(49:52):
schools.
And apparently this guy issuper smart because he uses that
kind of rhetoric.
Us officials said that Trumpissued that statement in part to
pressure Russian PresidentVladimir Putin to make a deal.
Since there has been littleprogress since last month's

(50:14):
Alaska summit, can I ask youknow, can we just be honest with
each other, what is the dealthat needs to be made?
Here's a, here's a thought Stop, that would be good.
The territories that votedthemselves, because they're

(50:36):
primarily Russian speaking, youcould allow, because we worship
democracy as a god, don't we?
Isn't that our god?
That we worship God, that weworship?
Don't we do that?
Aren't we supposed to bow downand worship at its feet?
They voted Let them have it.

(50:57):
It's one of the things that theytried to figure out like
self-determination at the end ofWorld War I, and they're like,
oh, you could.
Just, you know, that's whenthey made big Poland and they're
like just carving stuff up on amap because the they trick the
Germans into the armistice.
And then they stuck the knifein and you had this scene this

(51:19):
really happened, by the waywhere you had Woodrow Wilson,
who didn't come over to theTreaty of Versailles conference
with the Secretary of State anddiplomats.
He came over with ColonelMandel House, who wasn't a
colonel, who was his handler forthe banking establishment.
That's who he brought.
And they had these big mapslaid out on the floor and Wilson

(51:43):
was just carving up areas likewe could put this here and these
people could go here, likeignoring history and tradition
and language and culture andrace and everything else.
And somebody pointed out I said,well, that's not logical, sir,
and he says I don't give a damnabout logic.
So that's your first PhD.
President.
Ladies and gentlemen, that'swhat this reminds me of, and we

(52:09):
worship democracy as a God.
I thought that's what we did.
We go around the world blowingpeople up and we send our sons
and daughters to die for it.
Right?
I thought that's what it wasall about.
That's interesting.
So the fact that Ukraine quotethe fact that Ukraine is being
encouraged in every way tocontinue hostilities and the

(52:31):
idea that Ukraine can winsomething back in our view was a
mistake, said the KremlinDmitry Peskov.
The situation on the front linespeaks for itself.
Yeah, again, I'm not defendingRussia, but there's a reason why
wars start, and you couldprobably disagree with me.
I mean, if Russia wanted to, itcould do a lot more damage.

(52:54):
It used to own Ukraine.
That's part of it.
I mean, technically, that'swhat it means is borderland,
that's what Ukraine, the wordUkraine, means, and it's hard to
get off in this territorywithout looking like you're
defending Russia.
But at the same time, I mean,there's been provocation after
provocation of escalation afterescalation, and we lied at the

(53:15):
end of the Cold War and theSecretary of State, james Baker,
promised Gorbachev verballythat we would not expand NATO.
No-transcript, and that is thatif they were stupid, then every

(53:55):
once in a while they'd err inour favor, but they never do.
Talking about the ruling elite,peskov also said that it was
clear Trump's comments thatRussia was a quote paper tiger
was influenced by UkrainianPresident Vladimir Zelensky yeah
, why would you listen toanything the t-shirt man says?
And that Russia would make itsposition known to the US foreign
minister.
You know, I voted for peace andall I got was this lousy

(54:22):
Armageddon.
I pulled this up earlier too,before we close out.
Here's some food for thought.
Civilian casualties this upearlier too, before we close out
.
Here's some uh, here's somefood for thought.
Civilian casualties.
As of 31 august 2025, the un'soffice of high commissioner for

(54:44):
human rights has recorded 14 116civilian deaths and 36 481
injured in ukraine sincefebruary of 2022.
And that's high.
But here's some other stats.
Center for Strategic andInternational Studies estimates
250,000 Russian soldiers killed,with over 950,000 total
casualties.

(55:05):
This is a real war, folks, andyou have to wonder why is it
being waged?
Who's doing what now?
What was the our bio labs onthis borders?
Is that a provocation?
What about using Ukraine assome sort of international money
laundering filter?
You know, operation it's thebreadbasket of europe.

(55:27):
You know, if the chinese wererunning operations and putting
bio labs just off of uh, ourborder in mexico, off, you know,
maybe, uh in laredo, or on theother side of el paso at fort
bliss, you think that we'd havea problem with that?
Um, the casualties of therusso-ukrainian war uh track

(55:58):
russian losses by name havedocumented 130,150 russian
soldiers contractors killed witha notation 77,403 Ukrainian
fighters killed and 77,842missing as of 9 September 25.
Yeah, I'm reading differentstudies.

(56:23):
I pulled up about fivedifferent studies.
It's a massive bloodletting,but let's just continue it, by
all means.
You know it's disgusting.
Zelensky addressed the GeneralAssembly on Wednesday and made

(56:44):
an appeal for countries toprovide him with more weapons to
fuel the conflict.
If a nation wants peace, itstill has to work on weapons.
It's sick, but that's thereality.
Not international law, notcooperation.
Weapons decide who survives, hesaid.
Well, that's not true.
What's the latest fromSwitzerland?

(57:05):
That's not true.
What matters is diplomacy.
What matters is and sometimesyou have to fight strategic
alliances strength, butprovocation is never a good tool
.
In 1979, on my birthday, themighty Soviet Union invaded

(57:28):
Afghanistan and they looked tobe unstoppable.
As I mentioned earlier, the 79,the United States was in a
period of what was calledmalaise that's what Jimmy Carter
called it.
To cloud over the United States, it looked like the mighty

(57:50):
Russian empire was unstoppable.
We did nothing except boycottthe Olympic Games.
But by the end of the nextdecade, the Soviet Union
disintegrated into 16 pieces OnChristmas, by the way, almost 11
years to the day.

(58:11):
Alright, folks.
