I didn't know until they dropped the uh Epstein files. You know, it's kind of redundant. Uh, we've gone over this so many times, and there is some revealing stuff that's come out, but are you really surprised? Are you really surprised at all? Uh I'm not. Um, I was talking to David Knight this morning uh about the prices of precious metals, and I don't make price predictions, but are you really surprised anymore about the changing order of things? I I'm not. I'm not really surprised. I think um change is inevitable, and uh you have to expose the old in order to get the new. The question is, what kind of new shall we have? Um reminds me of something that was uh asked of Benjamin Franklin after the uh end of the Constitutional Convention, and they kept it in secret. And Franklin had this really bad case of gout, and so he's being carried out on a stretcher, and a lady approached him and said, uh uh, Mr. Franklin, what sort of government shall we have? And he said, A republic, madam, if you can keep it. And as I've seen so much of this stuff come out on Epstein and the fallout, I mean the headlines on Drudge, you're gonna see. I don't know if you'll actually see it, but you might see the first uh royal that is uh going to face some consequences. They may they may have thrown him in the volcano, just like uh they did people like Harvey Weinstein and and others who, you know, because it's culturally uh in need of a sacrifice, they may sacrifice one of their own. We'll see. You know, um you you should probably be very skeptical of whatever headlines come across now. It's uh hard to tell where one psyop ends and another begins, but that's why we have this program, which is the official broadcast of the apocalypse, ladies and gentlemen. Artiburn radio transmission broadcasting in defiance of globalist goblins, the neocons, and the new world order. It is the 19th of February 2026. I've got an article from Michael Schneider that we'll get into today to discuss the idiocracy. I found it is up on Zero Hedge. I found it amusing. Uh today I was doing some show prep research, and you know, I just thought today, you know, part of the uh parapolitics, precious metals part. If you want to talk a little bit about uh gold and silver with me, let's just read the headlines together on KitCo. We'll do that for the finance. This this the headlines. We'll just read the headlines together and go through that. And then we've got um the looming uh cloud, uh the gathering storm, which I hope I'm wrong, by the way. Like uh I hope that most of my predictions are absolutely wrong, uh, because that would make me uh very happy. Uh, unfortunately, I don't believe that they are, and I think that if you're truly analyzing and you want the best analysis for me in my brain that is, I think, designed to understand this time, that's why I th and that's why, because I'm a little crazy, maybe a lot crazy. Um, it just looks to me like the mathematical formula for death and destruction. I can just usually understand it. Not that I promote it, actually, I promote peace and prosperity and freedom. Unfortunately, if you've learned anything from the Epstein files um and people that worship Moloch, uh that's not what they want. And unfortunately, they hold the printing press and they control the governments because stupid people vote them in. And we think that the left-right duopoly uh is real. You know, we don't actually assign it the value of professional wrestling that it deserves, which is actually professional wrestling is actually entertaining and um doesn't cause great harm. But the politics we have in this country uh is killing civilization because we have the illusion that it's real. So yeah, um I can I can usually drill down uh enough to glean from the headlines where we're actually going. And we'll we'll talk a little bit about that. So Natural News has an article up on uh the the war drums. Uh I want to read you some of the headlines from antiwar.com. Uh and I've said this, you know, I going back to my appearance on Tinfoil Hat on it was December 4th, 2024. And it was the the day that Bitcoin first hit 100,000 ever, as I was walking into the studio. And so I'm in Hollywood, and I remember uh the topic come up. What's what is the Trump administration going to bring? You know, we were talking about this is just after the election, the inauguration hadn't happened yet. And I just looked at the across the board at headlines and things that were coming out and uh who would put Trump in office, you know, where you're talking about the mega donors and others and what they wanted. And I just told the story about the Lydian king Croesus, which is a uh you know, about gold and silver is where you talk about Lydia, the kingdom of Lydia, where you first got the first gold coins. They coined something called Electrum, which was like a natural mixture of gold and silver, but nonetheless it was coinage, and so Croesus loved gold, and that's uh part of the lore and myth, mythos of gold history. But one of the stories that's told about him is that he sought after oracles, he wanted to talk to seers and psychics and mystics, and he wanted to know who was real. So he sent out an edict, he said a question if you can answer this, if you can uh decipher what I'm doing at this moment. He you can I'll shower you with gold, and you'll be my uh court oracle or whatever. You know, he was seeking it out, so he put out this uh grand uh invite, and only one got it right. It was the Oracle of Delphi. And the Oracle of Delphi, which is woman, you know, and then wrote back and told him exactly what he was doing. He was cooking a rabbit and a turtle in a stew, it was something like that. So he showers the oracle with gold and just says, Okay, I want you to tell me about the future. And he wanted to know what would happen if he attacked Persia because he wanted to take on the Persian Empire and bring it down because they had all the Persians had amassed this massive amount of gold, but they didn't use it in a monetary sense, it was all about their uh cult of Mithras and um the you know the Zoroastrias. It was it was all of the the the uh the gods that they had were connected to gold, it wasn't monetary, they didn't even have that kind of economic system at all. And so the oracle told Croesus, uh, if you attack Persia, which is now Iran, if you attack Persia, then a great empire will fall. And so he attacked Persia and he lost his empire. And the Oracle, that's the funny thing about Oracle, they never it's kind of like a Twilight Zone uh bit of morality there. They sometimes don't tell you um the full picture, they didn't say which one, you know, which one was going to fall. I think that's there's wisdom in that. And if we just learn nothing from history, by the way. If you look at, and I'm gonna talk about this when we get into this article on Iran, but that they're definitely because institutions are coming apart, because we're in this wave of history called a fourth turning, the cyclical part of history, because there is a need to paper over everything, and then you you have the for whatever reason, uh this figure of Jeffrey Epstein shows up just before we have some major event. You could call it a dead man switch. You could go back to August of 2019 and see the the you know the death or whatever of uh Jeffrey Epstein. It's funny, I joked today with David Knight and I was like, it's Jeffrey Epstein from Beyond Tel Aviv or whatever, wherever he is now, but let's just say that he uh didn't kill himself. Uh, you still have August 2019, you have the death of Kerry Mullis, who invented the PCR test um conveniently because he hated Fauci and would have called out all of that BS. Um, if you know anything about Kerry Mullus. And Kerry Mullis, uh interesting uh story. He had like an interact, this guy was an I think he won a Nobel Prize, I believe he was. He was uh it was brilliant. I mean, he invented this PCR test deal that um was used for many different things, but not for the thing that it was so that we were you know forced to do. And he had some interaction with what he called an electric raccoon. You can go look this up. Like he had he talked to like an interdimensional entity one time, and uh it's a really interesting story. So he probably would have, and I don't think it was part of the darkness, I think he was one of those, again, because he just happened to conveniently die uh in August of 2019. And then you have event 201, and we all know all the things that were leading up, and and all the simulations and everything, and and Operation Darkwinter before that, all the stuff that was leading up to COVID-1984 and the lockdowns and everything else. So now that was what's preceded the last major change for humanity. You could call it a a warm-up for worldwide war because it was it was a a war of all the governments on earth against their own people, and then you know the similarities and what they call uh then the document the Rockefeller uh Institute, the document through Lockstep. You can go through all of the SPARS documents. We've been through all of this stuff, but that preceded it's like a dead man switch. Same thing here. I'm just warning you, I don't understand the whip sawing back and forth and what they did, like the the supposed release of the documents and not the documents, and there isn't and the gaslighting that there is nothing and there is no list, and you have people like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin and others who just want you to shut up and uh get to war with Iran or send your kids to die already. Can we do that for Israel? Uh, that's what they really need. You to do the conservative commentators. Um, that's where we are, and there's some sort of thing with Epstein showing up, just saying that's my gut level, and we'll get into a little bit of that today. With my support group, um it's funny. I so on X, I'm at Tony Arterburn on X, used to be uh Twitter. It doesn't make a post when you send the video stream to it. You can still view it live. You have to go and manually find it. Uh, I think so doing the same thing to David Knight. I don't know if that's permanent. So I told WWCR to follow my YouTube page. That's where WWCR picks up the link and sends it out over Worldwide Christian Radio across the globe, 100,000 watts out of Nashville, Tennessee. And uh welcome to all the WWCR listeners. Appreciate you and appreciate everybody in the chat as well. And I'll get to that after uh let's do some headlines if we're gonna talk about the precious metals aspect of this. And there was uh I won't get into the article, but there was a a piece that was put out uh by Ray Dalio, and I I found that to be fascinating. This one of the the uh articles he posted on X, and it's been talked about a lot, but it's really talking about the breakdown of the current economic order and how we are everything is being uh decentralized, uh things are being fractured because of the lack of trust and institutions coming apart and uh the shifting balance of world power and all that, which a lot of these analyses uh that are based on how things are right now may not fit, especially when you add in uh black swan events like war with the rant, Iran may not just be war with Iran, ladies and gentlemen, may be something completely different. It may spin off the wars have a way of doing that, they become a bit of an organic phenomenon, they have a life of its own. All right, let's look together. I want to put this up on the screen. Let's uh let's go to KitCo. Let's just look at some headlines on KitCo together, and uh, I'll talk a little bit about that and then what I'm seeing in the precious metals market that is not being talked about a lot, but I think is a really interesting preview of where these large financial institutions would like to take you. I don't know that they're gonna win this war, but definitely I'm seeing a lot of the movements on the ground that are pushing smaller operators uh close to the brink of going out of business. And I'm talking about people that would help you exchange your gold and silver, uh, your local shops, your smaller dealers, people that you could be more in touch with a human being. I think those are, and we are, I'm part of that. Uh, we pose a threat to the big banks and those who wish to completely control the prices at all times and control the flow of physical gold, silver, and or Bitcoin. We pose a major threat to them because we're actually talking to you and we're actually helping you. And uh the you don't get an AI uh a chat bot uh or uh they don't farm it out to some backwater where nope, you know, you're talking to a call center. If you even can get them on the line, I want to talk a little bit about that. Let's let's go over some of the just the headlines on KitCo. Gold Silver C modest gains is marketplace monitors U.S. Iran developments. Well, we're gonna get into the U.S. Iran developments. They'll put that in quotations uh here in a second, and it's not looking good. Uh, spot gold reclaims 5,000 uh an ounce as U.S. pending home sales disappoint with a 0.8% drop in January. Well, what about those 50-year mortgages? We got to roll those out. Remember the 50-year mortgage? Aren't you excited that you're gonna buy a coffin? Uh gold prices push close to 5,000 as the Philly Fed survey rises to 16.3. Gold market analysis for February 19th, intraday, that has this um breakdown. Uh, this is for traders. And I I've looked through all of this, by the way, before show prep. And you know, it's interesting as you scroll down, you get to like a little bit of schizophrenia in the headlines because the bigger banks, even though they have so much control of the supply and the narrative, they still don't know what's happening to gold. They don't know where it's going to go, they can't name a price. And if you continue to look through this and really sift through the information, you know what you find, folks, if you really boil it down and get to the essence of it, central banks are buying gold more than they ever have. It's not that the people are afraid, and people do have fear. There is fear, uncertainty, and doubt around the world. But you know who the where the biggest FUD comes from? It comes from governments, and that's what's driving. That's why that normally in a in a bull market where you have some sort of price bubble that pops, things retrace by like 50%. Gold didn't do that. Gold went to close to$5,700 an ounce. Yeah, it came down uh to about$4,700,$4,800, and then it just started to rise back up, and we broke another$5,000 this morning. So even with the drawdowns, it's not like it used to be. And I think we're poised for another all-time high uh pretty soon. This was a good article, too. Precious metals took the stairs up, but the escalator down, and speculators remain in the driver's seat. This is uh by Ross Norman over on Kit Co. Again, just the headlines. This is interesting because that you see different institutions saying different things. JP Morgan says there's a case against the gold rally continuing and it's wrong. So they're saying there's a case against it and it's wrong. Uh other institutions, uh, gold price will hit 6,200 by June. Precious metals, industrial metals set for further gains as volatility eases. This is UBS's Schneider. Well, we we truly don't know. You're basing on futures right now, and that's why trust is diminishing. So markets love certainty, and we certainly don't have that in this era, and so there's no way to know what price is going to be because you're basing it off of circumstances that exist today. You're basing it off the fact that oil prices are what they are today, which is a huge mistake because everything right now, very fragile, and as we're about to see, I'm gonna pull into this article here on natural news here in a second. We're about to see uh a fresh push for kinetic warfare leading into uh God knows what. I mean, if you look at the grand chessboard, what is all of this for? Is it an energy reset? Is it a a way to bring in uh uh more world government? Uh do things get so bad that we have to surrender our sovereignty to uh UN type uh supranational uh overseers or something like that? Is is the are we being pushed by incompetent uh people for some sort of uh creative destructive reasons? It makes no sense. I mean, if you really boil it down, and we're gonna get into that. I I should probably not uh go off on too much of a rant because I need to get into the article or I'll miss all the articles today. Yeah, let me put this up on the screen and we'll talk about it. Let's do this live. Let's put it put it up on the screen because I do want to get into it. All right, one second, put this up. This is natural news. Hot off the press. The war clock ticks and oil prices are surging. Trump administration poised to join Israel in a catastrophic strike on Iran. My stepdad asked me the other day. He said, Well, who do you think is the biggest threat to the United States? And I said, I think Israel is. And he just looked just baffled. And must and Must look like because you know, these are normal people that watch Fox News, and um yeah, I'm just like, well, if you know what I know, then you realize how we're steered into war. You understand what APAC is. Uh, you you can go and look. I mean, I I don't make this stuff up. I mean, the FBI arrested and detained, and they were in federal prison. The the dancing Israelis were in federal prison for 70 days and were swapped out by our government. This was covered by Fox News back then. You had Brit Hume and I had Carl Cameron. They both covered this story. You can go back and well, if it hasn't been scrubbed, you can find it. Uh, but yeah, they were in prison, federal prison for 70 days, and then they go and talk on uh Israeli television. They just said that we were there to document the event. So you have not just that episode, but all the USS Liberty, all the steerage for us to get into war, that's all part of this, and then you have the influence and our politics and everything else. Like, I would I'm not allowed uh to I would be persona non-grata, like there was no way I would ever even be able to do anything anymore in politics because I'm living in evangelical land. That's where I'm at. I mean, they the values are good until you reach that, and their psyop is so deep and so deeply rooted because of the uh well, the Schofield Bible and other things that just they just wove that into the story. So it becomes a spiritual issue that we support this secular nation state that has deep ties to uh the controlling mechanisms of our politics. So uh I'm looking at I'm looking at these type of articles through that lens, so just so we're clear. And what's funny is uh I'm not um, and what I just said is not good enough for the anti-Semites either. Like they need me to be, you know, like uh an officer of the SS or something, which I and I'm not that, I don't I don't even understand how you would get there, but I I'm not good enough for them, and I'm not good enough for the Zionists. So, you know, I'm just in the middle here calling balls and strikes and not good enough for any fringe group. Uh, and neither was Bill Cooper, you know, and and that's that's fine enough for me. The United States stands on the precipice of initiating a devastating, unauthorized war in the Middle East, driven by manufactured crisis and hidden from public view. According to a new report from Axios, the Trump administration is actively preparing for a massive joint military campaign with Israel against Iran, with operations potentially beginning immediately. The push for conflict comes despite intelligence communities assessment finding no evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon, revealing a dangerous agenda to justify aggression through fear. With a second U.S. carrier group steaming toward the region and Congress distracted, the American people are being led blindly toward a conflict that could eclipse the quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan. Well, let's just talk about this for a second. Uh why? And so what if okay, let's just, you know, the technology for the bomb, and I remember reading this from articles from Pat Buchanan going back to the early 2000s when I just read articles and assessments from the great Pat Buchanan, and he would talk about this how nuclear proliferation, especially in an age of you know, AI and and supercomputers and other things, like you realize that that technology is so old now. It's 80 years old, folks. It's 81 years old. The technology that you're talking about trying to keep out of the hands of people and governments, and the nuclear proliferation is no new thing. Uh, you know, Kennedy, uh, one of the reasons he was murdered uh by the the deep state actors and uh in Dallas at Dele Plaza was he didn't want the Israelis to get uh nuclear weapons, and he was very adamant about that. He did not want new nuclear proliferation. So you could kind of it's like a buffet of what what would uh who would be responsible or have uh who benefits Kubono from murdering the uh the 35th president, but it really comes back to something like that, you know, the uh not wanting nuclear peripheral relations. It goes all the way back to 1963, and you look at uh India, China, um, China got nuclear weapons in 1964, uh, Pakistan, Pakistan has the bomb, uh, North Korea, like it's not something that's uh a good thing, but what is it make that makes this special? And what are the messages that we've sent from wars on, let's say, Iraq uh or Syria or Lebanon or Libya? What are the what are the messages that we sent? Or the fact that we can kidnap and uh reverse ice Maduro out of um out of Venezuela. What are the messages that we send? Um, if you don't have a bomb, you better get one. That's the messages that we send with our foreign policy. So just that alone, having some nuance about nuclear proliferation and how any of this stuff actually works. And then this article is already right, like the key points about just being blindly led into a conflict that could eclipse the quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh, it'll be much larger. And you're talking about consequences that far outweigh this is a different world in 2003, when the when the uh Luciferian uh neocon class, the perpetual Trotskyites, that um I need to pull that quote up from Trotsky sometimes about how we and it's been years since I read it on the air, but how uh he's like when I speak of red revolution, I mean blood red. And he was talking, he said, we have the we have the bankers, we have we have the financing. This is a communist, you know, and the streets will run red with the blood of, you know, if for the sake of the revolution, you know, I gotta read Trotsky. That's where these people, it's how these people think. That's why you're confused. You know, finally, people are getting confused by conservative commentators who, um, especially in the acceptable realms where they have all the viewers, um, they just want a lot of war. It's their it's their whole purpose. Axias journalist Barack Ravid, citing sources close to the Israeli government, reports the U.S. is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize. Is this what you voted for, folks? Is this what we rolled the rock up the hill for? Is this what um is this what America First has always been about? The planned operation is described as a massive joint US-Israeli campaign aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities for broader than far broader than last year's conflicts. Uh let's just scratch the Israeli part. It we'll just do it all. I was in the I never saw an Israeli troop, but I was doing all the wars that they wanted done. See, you have to understand, um, you're not listening to uh Fox News when you listen to me. I can actually think, and I know statistics and other inconvenient things, um, Israel's not really bothered by terrorism per se. Um, they're bothered by and threatened by nation states. That's why if you look at the 1967 war, uh if you look at the Six-Day War or 1973, you look at the Yom Kippur War, they were threatened by nation states, one of them being Egypt, right? So um, you know, Egypt, uh Jordan, uh, Syria, uh, Iraq, uh, Iran, they're threatened by nation states, and they need our presence there um for destabilization. It's just operation chaos. You know, what's the latest from the democracy experiment in Iraq? You know, aside from the um massive death uh that went the displacement, the death, the poverty, uh the demoralization, the defiling of a civilization, what's what's the latest from that? You know, because uh other than them getting rid of the usage of dollars, anything anything going on with that? The military escalation is proceeding with zero congressional debate or public oversight, bypassing the constitutional requirement for a war declaration. Well, the last war we declared was World War II, and conveniently we had after um Truman and uh the UN and uh the uh Korean War, which was called the Forgotten War, fought by the silent generation, ironically. Uh, we've had police actions, and we don't win them. And so you had Korea, you had Vietnam, and then you had, well, you had the Cold War that's wrapped around that, but then you also had uh Gulf War I, Gulf War II. Do we win those? How did that really work out? I mean, we still there, we still uh are we safer? Are we better off? Did we have a 9-11? All that stuff. You gotta really look at the the abdication that Congress has done from its own power, giving up so much uh to the executive, and then just special and just walking away. And you don't have save a few, like maybe Thomas Massey, even talking about this stuff. The war push persists, even as an indirect diplomatic talk shows some progress, with Iran requesting two weeks to formulate a detailed proposal. Oral oil prices surged on the news, highlighting global market fears of a conflict that could spiral into years-long regional catastrophe. A manufactured crisis for an illegal war. He said, let's be clear the official pretext for this rush to war, preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, is a fraud. The intelligence agencies, the very entities tasked with knowing the facts, have repeatedly stated there is no evidence Tehran is pursuing a bomb, even if they had it. I asked the question, who cares? It's kind of like uh did the virus come from a lab? Was it from Wuhan? I don't care if it came from a meteor. The response to it, I don't care if it came from space, the response to it is the issue. What are you doing it for? We survived. You you realize that China is literally a massive uh grave, like it's a mass, like millions. Mao alone, like the communist revolution, you're talking about like 60 million people, some crazy number. We we don't we'll never know the true number. They got nukes in 1964. In 1972, Richard Nixon was sitting with Chairman Mao and opening up China for trade. So you could say good or ill, but we didn't go to war. What are these people talking about? And you you know, the argument by these uh I mean, just devoid of all common sense. I feel like the with the Welch character in the McCarthy hearings is like, have you no decency, sir, at long last? You just keep running the same stupid arguments that Iran is a suicide nation. If it gets the bomb, it's gonna, it's gonna use it to take out uh Israel. And we're, you know, we're gonna like it's a suicide bomber with a nuclear vest. It could already do that. It doesn't need the bomb, it could already commit suicide and take down a bunch of stuff with it. You know who has the actual suicide mentality is Israel. They have the Samson option. Go look that up. That means if they're falling, if their government, they will launch all their nukes. They have 300 of them, by the way, that they don't put on the books, they're the only nuclear power there. They got them from us. So this argument is just void of all substance. Highly ridiculous. So, yes, it is it is manufacturing. The Biden administration previously unlocked billions in frozen assets for the Iranian regime, fueling its capabilities, and now the political establishment seeks to clean up its own mess with American blood and treasure. This is the same playbook used for decades. Fund and enable a problem, then present yourself as the only solution, demanding endless war and the surrender surrender of your liberties. Well, that's true too. It's the reason why we left all that hardware and cash and weaponry and everything else in Afghanistan. It was just we'll come back later. We'll bring some fresh troops for the eyes wide shut people to um to celebrate. Yeah, I'm not supporting this ever, so I don't care if it costs me my show. I don't care. You can turn it on. I will never support this. I mean, I always support the uh I want to bring bring the troops back um from any of these conflicts. This is absolutely evil. There's no reason. It's an unjust war. Iran cannot project power on the United States, so what the hell are we doing? What are they gonna come over in bass boats? Are you stupid? Seriously, if you believe this, you're stupid. If you believe that Iran can project power and topple the United States of America, you are an idiot. And there's no, I mean, either that or a liar. You know, there's not not a lot of middle ground. I don't understand it. I remember listening to uh Glenn Beck once. I I'm my memory is crazy. This is going back to like 2006 or 207. I was having a I was having a sandwich in the parking lot waiting for I was picking up something for my my convenience store that I own. And Glenn Beck was interviewing Rick Santorum, who was a senator at the time. You may remember Rick, you know, he ran for president, and I think he won the Iowa caucus or something. Um, but uh Glenn Beck was like, because Rick Santorum really wanted to hit Iran. And this is you got to go back in the timeline 20 years ago. Why? You know, because they're an imminent threat. We gotta get we gotta get in there. And uh Glenn Beck was saying, you know, you are the Winston Churchill of our time. And I'm thinking, you know, these so many of these guys turned out to be frauds. I mean, obviously. But I think we need to redefine the term imminent and then also threat. I think that would be a great start. So we'd all be a little less dumb and a little less gas-lit. While the Pentagon prepares for battle, a thin veneer of diplomacy is being staged. Indirect talks in Oman and Geneva have occurred, with mediators claiming good progress. I hope so. Iran has asked for a mere two weeks to craft a detailed proposal, but this is likely a desperate attempt to buy time against an impending surprise attack. The question every American should ask is why the frantic hurry to war if diplomacy is working? That's you know, uh, I asked that at 22 years old. I was watching the dismantling of the Chinese worm missiles live on television that uh were some of the the banned uh things that Saddam wasn't supposed to have that they were dismantling. And you had Hans Blix going to all these facilities and you know, um in Iraq, and you know, just a few sane voices were asking, like, why the hell are we doing this? But the news media, they got those war drums. You have the military industrial complex, you have all these little little backbiting commentators, the stupid look on their face, they'd have never seen the consequences of their actions, they've never seen the consequences of their bad ideas. They don't care. If you've seen the if you live through some of this, some of the things I've seen, he never leaves you. And you'll never agree to any of this stuff. Yeah, we can't be friends if you you can just turn me on. I've lost so many uh listeners because I would not go on with this agenda, and I'm like, this is stupid. So turn me off or don't buy from me, I don't care. It's I'm not, I'm not, at least my soul will be intact. Not buying into any of this crap. And yeah, it's a great question. Why is it a frantic hurry? We gotta get we gotta kill some kids. That's what they gotta do. The answer lies in the political need for a crisis. A president facing political headwinds historically seeks a wag the dog moment, a foreign conflict to rally support and distract from domestic failures. Sending a second carrier group to the region isn't a move for peace, it's provocation. The global oil market, that uh great barometer of geopolitical fear, reacted instantly with oil prices jumping jumping on the Axios report. The deep state and its corporate partners in the military-industrial complex salivated the prospect of another endless conflict, another river of taxpayer dollars, and this another step towards total control. Well, the total control part is the goal. Do you really like? First of all, you had that sick idiot uh Woodrow Wilson, devoid of any redeemable quality other than occasionally telling you the truth by accident. Uh, after he was elected by the bankers, and you get the Federal Reserve, you get the income tax, you get the direct election of senators, and you get free trade. So you get the four horsemen of the political apocalypse after this idiot is installed uh by JP Morgan and friends in uh 1912, 1913. But then you also get when he says he runs, by the way, in 1916, Woodrow Wilson runs on the slogan he kept us out of war. Okay, where have you heard this stuff before? That was the slogan. He kept us out of war, kept him out of the World War I. As soon as he's re-elected, uh, takes office. Back then it was uh constitutionally, you had the uh the swearing in was March 4th. So he would uh take us to war in April. So he took us to war in in 1917, but that's when you get the espionage act, right? So they start jailing people that were against the war or spoke out against it, or uh just against the power structure in general. And uh that's what the state war is the health of the state, and they always love this stuff, you know, and uh it's just sick to watch because you're not gonna get the the question mark over this is just why, you know, and the people will say they'll regurgitate because Iran will get the bomb, and then you just want to say, I don't care. Doesn't threaten me. Do you do you understand how any of this were we survived the Cold War? You realize Khrushchev had thousands of nuclear weapons, they had nuclear submarines, they had satellites, they had the means to destroy the planet a hundred times. And he took his shoe. Can you imagine this? This guy took his shoe off at the UN and beat the podium and said, We will bury you. That's crazy. Okay, but we live through that. Do we have to go sacrifice our troops and our freedom? Because that's not no doubt about it. You're you're every time this happens, there's another addition to some kind of Patriot Act garbage or something. You have to give up something, just offer up something else to Moloch for these wars. So you're saying we we can survive that, but we can't survive this a backwater. That has been so weakened by sanctions and other things. And in our own coup d'etat, does anybody not remember Operation Ajax 1950? We took out Mozadek. We installed the Shah. That's the reason they have. They went from Tehran looking like a sophisticated Western nation to looking like the eighth century. That's what happens. It's why you know ISIS ran Iraq, and why we have like the loss of the complete loss of the Christian sectors. I have pictures of me standing next to some of the oldest churches in Christendom that are no longer there. They got bombed out. Now, why is that? Is it because we brought freedom or we brought all of that evil? Yeah, it's what happens. You kill one monster, you get 10,000. That's what that has. And that's on purpose, by the way. This is all a it's an evil six ceremony. I have nothing to do with it. The American soldier is once again set to be used as bait, stationed in harm's way to justify the retaliatory strikes the war planners already have on the drawing board. We must see this escalation for what it is: a criminal conspiracy to launch an illegal war sold to the public through a tapestry of lies. The costs will be measured in thousands of lives, shattered global economy, and the final erosion of what it remains of our constitutional governance. Again, that was natural news. Lance D. Johnson. Well, Lance D. Johnson, you nailed it. It's just so many great questions that are right there in the open. And we're being just frog marched blindly into this kinetic war for no damn reason. There is no good reason. And they will use soldiers at bay. They always do that. I mean, if you know anything about the history of false flags in this country, if you know anything about the USS Liberty, if you know about that attempt, 1967. Unmarked Israeli aircraft taking out the USS Liberty. Uh an attempt to make it look like it's the Egyptians so that we'll get into the war with them and strike uh Egypt and all the rest of that. The Johnson administration covered it up. Over 30 sailors died. Americans. And that's evil. And this has been going on a long time. False flags, every every modern war is built off a false flag. And you get that term from when the you know, in the you had the conflicts at sea that the pirates would raise different flags, you know, just to make it look like they were part of something else. It was it's uh a ruse, you know, it's meant to fake you out, and that's what this is all about. That's all the whether it's the Maine in uh 1898 off the coast of Cuba, you know, uh to remember the Maine to Hell with Spain, you have the Spanish-American War, you know, you have uh uh the the Lusitania, supposedly what's started our involvement in World War I, but that really wasn't it either. It was the Zimmerman telegram, which has uh ties to the banking house of Rothschild and um the quid pro quo to get America into the war for all of that, all you know, the Balfour Declaration, you have that in World War I and then things like Pearl Harbor with Franklin Roosevelt. I mean, there's you read my friend uh James Perloff's book, Truth is a Lonely Warrior, just read the opening chapter. You'll never look at foreign policy the same. So they will use something, and uh, you know, it's going to change markets. I mean, we can get back to some of that, but uh oil prices will go up, and that will have a cascading effect on everything else. And so I don't know what happens to the prices of gold and silver. I don't know how many angels can dance on the head of a pen. You're you're you're denominating real commodities in things that aren't real. So we can get into some price structure, but that all this is going to change once we cross this Rubicon of global kinetic war. And so, just for the record, for the historical record, and this will go into my podcast feed until I guess it gets deleted by um artificial intelligence uh overlords someday. But this my opinion is that uh this will lead to a catastrophe. I want nothing of it, I will never support it. And uh those that do, I think, are complicit and have blood on their hands. And we've never gotten an apology from the sick, sick people who sent us into war in Iraq, um, who cheerleaded that, who gave us these bizarre predictions of how we would be greeted as liberators, and they'd come out with these garland wreaths and place them on us like we were, you know, this some sort of uh you know liberating force that's never happened. Yeah, that's they learn these stuff, this stuff in I don't, this some fantasy school wherever these elites go. I don't know if they even believe any of this stuff, but that's what happens. Uh the cruel reality is what we actually saw uh take place on the ground. So I won't be a part of that. All right. Let's uh let's go to the comments really quick. I forgot uh I do this sometimes, folks. Let me just take this off the screen. And I appreciate Jason Barker filling in for me last week. I I made a commitment this year to not have any weeks where we didn't have a live transmission, and Jason does an amazing job. And I appreciate him. So I hope you know if I have to miss another one soon, I might. I've got some prospects. I may be uh I'm looking to raise alternative capital and uh find alternative means to stay in the gold and silver business because uh the traditional ways of liquidation and supply chains are not that. I don't know if it's ever coming back. I don't know. I've never seen anything like what's going on right now. So I may have to miss a transmission or two, but the transmission will still be up. That is the goal. All right, let's go to the car. I'm over on I'm broadcasting at Tony Arderburn on YouTube. Uh, let's see, I'm gonna go back. Bronx Stopper 11. I like to see you here, sir. Appreciate you. Uh Michael Burnett, uh 1556, says, Good morning, Tony. Great work on the show and love the Wolfpack Monthly. Well, I appreciate it. Thank you, Michael. Means a lot. I wolf pack is the reason we're still in business. Uh Spencer DeLong says, uh, good morning, Tony. Hope you're having a great day. Well, good morning to you. Appreciate you. Yeah, Beans the Brave. I didn't mention Beans is here in the loft with me. She's just behind me on the couch. Uh, I decided I'm just gonna broadcast from the loft today, and uh, made some uh uncured bacon and a few eggs, and uh, she got to help with that. So she's uh I think she's taking a nap. Uh, she is simultaneously guarding uh the loft and making sure that we're safe from woodland creatures and intruders, but she is guard, she is taking a nap, I think. Uh this interest Israel Adams says truth is nukes are fake, fear porn, dirty bombs, yes, nukes no. However, the cell towers are capable of producing radiation and poisoning. I I kind of agree with you, except for the fact that uh, and I I think that they used the bomb for uh for control, and it has like a double-edged sword, and there was like a stasis of war. Like we would have without nukes, we would have had, and I know where you get this, like a lot of the flat earthers think that that nukes aren't real. My grandfather was part of the hydrogen bomb experience experiments as a young Marine. He actually was the last survivor of the people that they had gave him no protection, they would detonate the bombs in front of them. He wrote a detailed history of this to me, and he was vice president of Texas Instruments. So, like, this is a brilliant guy. And uh he would tell me we talk about this is like when I was a kid, you know, we would talk about uh Cold War strategy and other things, the things he was working on that were at the time, like he told me about night vision in Cadillacs. Like he would tell me, he's like, hey, in 19, this was in like the late 80s, he said, we will have night vision in 1997. The Cadillac will come out with the night vision series, like a where you it uses night vision in one of the advanced models. And I was so this is 80, 88, 89. In 1997, I was watching TV and the Cadillac, it was swear. This came on, and he was still alive. And I called him and I was like, Hey, you were right about the Cadillacs. Like, I know he was part of that. Um, but he died of cancer, he's had multiple, he had to take his leg off at the hip when I was three years old because of bone cancer. Like he literally, I mean, at the hip, imagine having your leg taken off at the hip. And he was like just a little bit older than I am now. And the reason is is because they detonated and it wasn't dirty bombs. Like he the he told us uh, you know, they put the the flash would be so bright, but they just told me there's no protective gear. So he put his you know arm over his eyes and he could see his bones. So, you know, there's I understand what you're saying with the nukes thing. It's hard to tell, and it if you don't have that experience, like if I didn't know him, it would be a little bit like, are you making this stuff up? I get that. Uh Bronx Stomper 11 there, the only country that has been attacked, attacked a U.S. ship and not been attacked and didn't sign the nuclear uh non-proliferant treaty uh non-proliferation treaties, it's interesting, isn't it? Yes, it is. Or in that case, Mark Levin, both a liar and an idiot. Yes, yeah. Yeah, I just, you know, and I was gonna get into, I don't have enough time, but there's an article by Michael Schneider uh up on Zero Hedge about how close we are uh to idiocracy if we're already there. And uh, you know, I'll be covering a lot of the times I I skip over because of the financial stuff has been so heavy, I skip over the culture. And but this uh, you know, and we'll get more segments in here on the transmission. Just bear with me. I'm just you know, and this you guys are my support group. Uh I try to get here every week so we can discuss. I can't cover everything, I just try to pick out what is most important for your life and what's going to affect you the most in the next week or the next month, and even in the next year. Um, let's see one of the comments. Uh Bob M says uh dig the righteous ramp. I appreciate you, Bob. It's a Prince Andrew arrested. Is that breaking news? Uh, I I covered that I just uh earlier in the show. Um, yeah, he's one of the royals that uh one of the first one to ever have a consequence. Although the you know they do throw their own under the these are the descendants of Dracula, you realize. I mean, that's that's real. So the House of Windsor is directly related to Vlad the Impaler, you know, and uh King Charles went over to Romania not so long ago and did an infomercial for their travel agencies and said, you know, it's Romania's in my blood. You know, it's because they're related to Dracula. So just saying, uh, they do take care, they do maybe they're doing a sacrifice, maybe it's a a ruse. Um, but aside from all you know, I want to talk more about that. We're gonna do a paratrouther this weekend. So I can't believe it's been so almost a year, and I was talking to Mr. Anderson. We're gonna do one on Rudolph Hess. If you guys hadn't heard that story, like real story about the second in command of the of the Third Reich, and you know, parachutes into Scotland, and uh we're gonna it kind of sets up the tone for World War II, like what was actually going on. There's a lot of history's mysteries uh around that, but uh, we're gonna get into Rudolph Hess. And some of the stuff I want to cover more on Paratrouther is yes, there are these satanic child trafficking rings and the elites trafficking that, but even on a larger scale, you can get sensationalized by some of that's real and some of it's fake. And they throw out everything in between in a limited hangout to confuse you, you know, kind of like QAnon had real stuff in it, and kind of like Operation Trust did in the Bolshevik Revolution when the Russian government was doing, you know, the same things back and forth, trying to convince you that there's white hats and you're okay and just sit things out. Um, they take a real conspiracy and then wrap it in something nonsensical. And if you notice that, it's a real, it's haphazard and it's a real pitfall for any real researcher. But one thing I want to, and I think we should talk about more and more is that regardless of how bad any of that is, the real consequence like of this war, I mean, if you understand the displacement of families and children and what's happening in Gaza and other things to kids and and uh anywhere around, it doesn't matter what ethnicity or what country, just the mere fact that people can't live in peace because of the psychopaths that run things. There's no there's literally no reason to go to war about almost anything in 2026. I mean, besides defensively, and we don't those reasons haven't been met for a just war. So if it's not just, what is it? It's an immoral war. So you don't you know your soul is important, it's your soul is eternal. Do not align with this because you're gonna get a lot of people that don't understand. I mean you've got if you reach a certain you reach peak fluoride and peak propaganda at some level. And if you're too pilled up to understand, then you're just gonna be part of the problem. But knowing you know what the the real causes are, and that's my job. Yeah, that's what real research is for. That's what true thought is for. It's not about clicks. If I wanted clicks, I'd join the opposite side. All right, folks, we're gonna close out the transmission. I appreciate each and every one of you. I went a little long today, didn't cover everything I wanted to cover, but appreciate each and every one of you for being here. Uh Wolfpack.gold, uh, if you want to get in on uh precious metal subscription, I got some interesting stuff going in these packages lately. Uh it's a full-time job. And uh thanks to De Yeka to putting together the uh the invoices two or three times a week, trying to keep up with these prices. Uh David Knight said, I don't know how you keep it up with hyperinflation. This I the the inflation, the deflation, the rise, the fall, the sideways, the all the chopping. It's um uh I'm built for it. It's it's part of why I'm here on the planet, I think. Um I made it this far. So uh check out Wolfpack if you'd like some precious metals and get out of fiat, trading those Luciferian bankster notes uh for some real money. I'll give spot prices. We already went over the times. Let's just give spot prices real quick. All right, 4,999 uh Luciferian bankster notes make a troy ounce of the yellow metal. Uh silver 7773 according to goldprice.org. You can also get spot prices on wolfpack.gold. Don't forget that, folks. And then uh spot price for Bitcoin 66,208 Luciferian banks are not make one Bitcoin. There's only uh about 16 million available Bitcoin ever. Uh millions are lost. Watch that really close. That's gonna be something else that pops up here very soon. Something up with Bitcoin. And uh there was a side, there's been so many psyops in the last 30 days, it's hard to keep up. A lot of it's about price suppression, a lot of it's about um keeping you uh demoralized on everything, like not even knowing, you know, with the dollars crashing, but why isn't this going up? And that's on purpose. Uh it's chaos for the sake of chaos and some creative destruction, but you guys stay frosty. Be back next week uh with more Arterburn Radio Transmission. Uh, Tony.gold. Check out the website. Uh, send me a message if you have any thoughts. Paratroother out uh in the beginning of next week. All right, you guys take care of each other. End of transmission.
