This is the Arterburn Radio Transmission. I am your host, Tony Arterburn, broadcasting in defiance of globalist goblins, the neocons, and the new world order. Official broadcast of the apocalypse, ladies and gentlemen. This is the 5th of March 2026. What is this? Day um uh six of the of the war. Not a six-day war this time. Uh I think we're playing for keeps now. The uh the goblins are running loose. We they are uh uh let slip the dogs of war, and uh all the uh ceremonies of innocence is lost. Uh to go back to the to go back to uh quote uh William Butler Yates. Well, we're gonna dive into it today, ladies and gents. Uh a little parapolitics, precious metals. We can talk about some of the uh headlines that aren't, if you'd like. Uh we can go into some of the things that won't be flashing across the financial networks that you uh probably definitely want to be aware of, which is uh gold for the first time in uh the modern era or era error, has uh surpassed the dollar as the most held reserve asset by central banks. That is official. It crossed that milestone by the accumulation of tonnage by central banks over the past uh four years, and then the rise in price has now exceeded dollar holdings, uh, but you won't find that pretty much anywhere else, and uh especially if it's mainstream, because they want you to continue to buy into the casino framework of things, and um, we're way past that, folks. I'm gonna go into some stories today that highlight, you know, we're playing some sort of game. Uh, I don't see a strategy in it other than chaos for the sake of chaos, which may be the whole point in all of it. Uh I was reminded listening to the podcast Our Big Dumb Mouth, uh, I listen to every Wednesday and Saturday with Midnight Mike and others. Uh they played a clip from Bill Cooper that I want to play. I was reminded of that this morning as I was uh getting up and about here and at the loft in Denison, and I go, Oh, I forgot about that. So I want to play just a minute of Bill Cooper uh talking about why Israel was created. It's not what, you know, the somebody asked me the other day, are you have you thought about running for office again? And I thought, um, it's something they asked Nixon, you know, back in the mid-60s. Uh he's like, unfortunately, the country's not available right now. It's uh it's not available because it was still in the area that I'm in. I've long surpassed and crossed the Rubicon of acceptable because I don't hold views that are uh widespread psyops, and they have been since the late 19th century with the introduction of the Schofield Bible in the early uh 20th century and uh John Darby, who created the concept of the rapture and other things in Christian Zionism, it's really coming to a head now, isn't it? Like you see the interview with with Mike Huckabee and um just how intellectually bankrupt and there's a darkness that surrounds that sort of ideology. But um one of the uh highlights from or lowlights from uh the past few days is that uh an approved veteran. See, I wasn't approved when I ran, and I'm not bitter about that, but I just wanted peace and I, you know, and prosperity and liberty and rebuilding the country that had been um well, we pawned off America and we sold it out and we sent our troops around the world in uh unconstitutional, immoral, evil, meat grinder wars uh of choice. Um so I wasn't approved, um, especially by the establishment for not wanting those things. But one of the people that was approved was Dan Crenshaw of the 2nd Congressional District, uh ipatch McCain, and uh he lost uh his primary. So there's some silver lining. So it's not um it's not forever that we're entrenched in this uh the aft the aftermath of really bad ideas, a decade piled upon decade of uh supporting things that are truly dark. Um and uh I think we're seeing the fruits of that right now. But that was one of the things that happened I I wanted to bring up on the show. But we are in uncharted waters where we are going around the world in search of monsters to destroy. And even if we destroy those monsters, uh that's really not the goal. The goal, it appears, is chaos. And uh especially in the region, if you go back to uh Wesley Clark going to the Pentagon just on September 12th, 2001. He had been supreme allied commander uh for NATO and oversaw uh Kosovo and other operations. Um he's very high up. And uh they told him they were gonna do seven countries in five years. And he thought, well, what do you mean? We're gonna topple seven countries in five years. This was the introduction, the real ascendancy of power by the neoconservatives and uh coming through and uh as a conduit through the Bush administration. And if you remember uh Bush in 2000 ran on a no nation building on this is the biggest lies. We got we've been sold that lie so many times. I don't know why anybody would even vote again uh in a national election. I mean, you're just gonna get the he goes all the way back uh to you know 1916 when Woodrow Wilson ran on the slogan he kept us out of war. And the first thing he did was get us in World War I. FDR did the same thing. You know, I've seen war and I hate war. He just, I'm not gonna send your boys to another European war. He sent them to a war. Uh, he goaded the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor. And uh this is where we are. We're creating a new war for the sake of it, right? Um, that's that's the that's the scary part. If you look at some of the the juxtaposition here, which I think is really important to pay attention to, uh, I want to go and bring up this is a headline that was over. Let me bring up KitCo again. But it's really important to watch this kind of stuff. Yeah, China is playing a different game. Let me put this up on the screen. We're gonna talk about this for a second. I want to talk a little bit about uh Bitcoin coin outflows after the attack on Iran, and then we're gonna dive into some of the specifics about this war. By the way, crude oil is over$80 a barrel, as at the uh start of this show. Let's put this up on the screen really quick. I think this is the whole point. Right? We're thinking very short term, we're thinking chaos, we're thinking military might, whatever you want to call it, and definitely for no strategic reason whatsoever, uh other than the security or at least um perceived security of the state of Israel. KitCo.com. China ramps up efforts to establish Hong Kong gold hub with major moves in public-private miners and new market infrastructure. I've talked about this many times. It's one of those things that, again, not a major headline that you're gonna you're not gonna turn on CNBC and and they're not gonna be talking about this because this is the move eastward. It has to do with what real commodities are. Gold uh is the magnet for power, for influence. And we we have done a magic trick with fiat currency, especially having the world's reserve currency is the dollar, to show that wealth and power and might can be used. And you can use them briefly if you have the kind of power that we had with the dollar. But what did I start the show out saying? The dollar has been supplanted by gold. China knows that. They have 60,000 gold mines. They probably have more gold than the U.S. And that's not just me saying that. That's some real journalistic investigative work over the past many decades. They have been secretly buying gold at a rapid rate ever since we included them and gave them most favored trading status on December 11th, 2001, just 90 days after 9-11. You guys know the aftermath of that. We lost, you know, 55,000 factories and one and three manufacturing jobs. I've memorized this because I've said it so many times, but it that's all those trade deficits, all of that has to go somewhere. It doesn't go into a vacuum. So they use those trade deficits to buy real commodities. And while we're out here playing Crusader and Pete Hegseth is talking about aggression, it reminded me of the Megadeth song about architecture of aggression. It just, it just smacks of that. The arrogance, um, the no planning, the straight-up whore moves, you know, 90% clogged. We'll talk about that for at least a couple of minutes. But this is what China's doing. China continues to ratchet up efforts to leverage Hong Kong. Now, this again, this isn't the Shanghai gold exchange. They've also got, they're building Hong Kong and its already dominant influence over the global gold market as the Asian giant is building up market infrastructure to woo foreign investors while mainland mining companies tap the semi-autonomous region stock market to fund their own overseas expansion. According to a recent report from Nikki Asia, the Hong Kong government has now established Hong Kong Precious Metals Clearing, a fully state-owned company that will start operating on a trial basis before the end of 2026. The government also aims to expand the territory's gold storage facilities to more than 2,000 metric tons within the next three years. It plans to work more closely with the Shanghai Gold Exchange as well. So you got Shanghai, you got Hong Kong. I talked about this uh close to a year ago. I thought this was a very significant story because what it shows is that BRICS, and especially China, and part of the BRICS, you know, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, China especially, is looking long term. They're looking down the road. That's what the Belt and Road Initiative was and is it's the accumulation and the securing of rare earth minerals, of commodities, of what it's the periodic table. It's what drives and fuels empire. And what are we doing? You almost have to ask yourself with as stupid, as reckless as we are being, uh, is this by design? You have to ask yourself, is this part of the the great reset agenda 2030 infiltration? Is this what we're watching? Are we watching some sort of spasm of sorts where we're doing the exact opposite of anything that we would need to be doing right now to ensure America's prosperity into the next uh not just couple of years, but into the next decade. Are we doing anything to secure that? How's your infrastructure doing? How are your roads and bridges? How are your airports doing where you live? I see crumbling everywhere. I see decay. I see and this is a an outcropping again of fake money. Luciferian bankster notes. This is what that uh that produces. It produces it's the lifeblood, uh it's the mother's milk, it's the alma mater of the deep state is fiat currency. But you know, what's the latest and greatest? Are we even using any of that fake money to help our fellow Americans? Are we doing anything here to make things better? Or are we simply just doing chaos for the sake of chaos? Which is more and more what I believe. And as a matter of fact, and maybe it's a primal thing. Maybe uh I pulled up an article from LouRockwell.com I want to talk about uh that talks about the um uh psychological failings of mankind and tribalism when it comes to uh uh war. And uh, you know, perhaps uh people like Rod Serling, who um wrote The Twilight Zone, who was a paratrooper in World War II, he wrote a lot of the the moralistic tales that you come across in the Twilight Zone, especially about war. He was very skeptical of that. He was very uh he was very skeptical and he was very pessimistic about mankind's future. As a matter of fact, I was I've got a book on him. It's called um It's Serling, the uh television's last angry man. And I brought it up um upstairs last night. I was reading a little bit of it, just I'm gonna try to finish that biography because there's something about that thought process that we've lost now in pop culture, especially anybody who's writing any scripts anymore. It's so much of his influenced by the power structure and intelligence and other things. But we are definitely losing and have lost our morality when it comes to what makes a just war, what is important, how how much should we strive for peace? It's really bizarre. I was having all these quotes run through my head. I opened up the show with it just randomly came to my head whenever I heard some of the the uh the theme come across and through my headphones. As you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. That's Leon Trotsky. You know, and von Klauswitz uh he wrote the book on war, the the German tactician, and uh he said that uh war is an extension of politics by other means. And I think it's backwards now. I think uh politics is an extension of war by other means. I think we've literally crossed through the upside down where it doesn't make any sense anymore. We're we're seeing uh the unraveling of what we believe to be the American experiment, in my opinion. I mean, how do you how do you put this back in the bottom? How do people trust us? You know, uh history will show if there is a future, I hope that they will write about this. I mean, the uh Iranians were at the tape. No, you can take this at how you want to, by the way, because I'm sure some boomer that listens to Mark Levin is gonna say, but you can't trust the Iranians. Okay, but they were willing to sign a deal where they had no stockpiles of nuclear material, so they could literally not make a bomb. And even if you care about the bomb argument, which I don't, you know, really don't care. Pakistan has the bomb, India has the bomb, China has the bomb, Israel has 300 bombs. I mean, I don't really care about that because the argument in Netanyahu has been saying that it's imminent. Uh, he needs to find he really redefine what the word imminent means. It's like, um, but we've been sold this bill of goods, and uh, I've got an interview next week. I can't tell you who it's with, but um eventually you'll see the release of it. But there's a book that he wrote called uh The Trigger, and uh he's got a chapter in there about Netanyahu in 1979. I mean, they've been planning all of this for so long, it's really mind-blowing the level of conspiracy to put us in this spot, and now they're running the play. And I bring this China story up to kind of go full circle. This China story is very important because they're not running that play, they're running about strategy, they're running long-term, they're looking for wealth, they're looking to secure their position in the new global economy, the new economic world order. And we're just writing the old one down as it appears. And uh the headline on Drudge right now, oil over$80. And let's look at the other aspect of this as we cover a little bit of the financial part. I pulled this up. This was uh Bitcoin magazine. I watched a currency die in real time when I was uh 23 years old after the uh fall of Mosul, and they sent us to the bank. I've told this many times, but um we didn't have any orders, they just wanted us to go and figure out what was going on. It was complete chaos, and people were running out with boxes of Iraqi dinar that had Saddam Hussein's picture on them, and uh the bank tellers were standing there, people just it was absolute chaos. And then they realized that nobody wanted them, you couldn't spend them. You watch I watched a currency go to zero in real time because it's not backed by anything. That's a fiat currency, folks, because uh I could run out the same day and and uh and I did uh get a a cold Pepsi from a kid, one of the the entrepreneurs that I really respect, uh not these Wall Street types who get bailed out, you know, these sissies and corporatists and crony capitalists that are absolute cowards. I watched real entrepreneurs, like stuff's on fire, and a kid's selling me a Pepsi. I have respect for that. And so happily bought. I mean everybody, everybody's staring at me because we haven't seen anything cold in weeks, you know. Uh there was stuff there was a side story about invading a country, especially a desert country, going into Babylon, going into Mesopotamia. And what you realize is you don't realize, like in the industrialized world or where you have any creature comforts, is that there is no cool water. Like, nowhere is going to get cool. It's you're just drinking bathtub water. It doesn't matter where you put it, there's no cool anywhere. So, like, you just get a couple of weeks of bathtub. I just like this is like drinking out of the bathtub. Of course, you'll gladly get it if you're thirsty, you drink that bathtub water. But uh I remember that uh that kid came out of nowhere, and I said, and everybody was looking at me, and uh people were running out with boxes of Racky Dinar, and I pulled out some American currency and I bought that Pepsi. All right, folks. Uh, this is what's going on. Speaking of currency and invasion, uh Iran, uh Bitcoin outflows surge after U.S. Israel airstrikes on-chain data shows. Following the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes in Tehran, Iranian crypto activities surged with 10.3 million in Bitcoin flowing out of exchanges as citizens sought to preserve value amid financial collapse. On February 28, 2026, U.S. Israeli airstrikes struck key targets across Tehran, including nuclear facilities, missile sites, and the Passier district, where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Al Khamaini resided. Hours later, reports confirmed Khomeini's death and the deaths of senior officials. On-chain data compiled by chain analysis shows a sharp surge in crypto activity from major Iranian exchanges in the hours following the strikes. Well, what they're doing there is they're taking. Their crypto and their Bitcoin off of exchanges and putting it into their own wallets. And that's kind of the point of the story. What you're seeing in that article is a reality of what happens when your currency rapidly starts to debase. And it's why it's so much of an important factor for you to become your own bank. And counterparty risk is another issue with that. Whether it's physical gold and silver in your hand or your own crypto, your own Bitcoin, and your own wallet off in exchange, the less counterparty risk in this climate, the better. And uh let the people of Iran show you. Like they're already, I'm sure that's probably a fraction of what was moved. Now it's I was on David Knight this morning. I talked about that. It's hard to move across borders with lots of gold and silver, especially silver. That's really tough to do. If you're staying put and you can put that together, you got the uh the place to store it, that's a great thing. Or if you trust where you store it, most of the wealthy people, they've got storage all over the globe, you know, places like Switzerland, places like the United States, places like Singapore. You can store precious metals, but it has to be stored. It physically exists in the real world. As of Bitcoin, something to think about in this global climate, I'm asking you to think about that and becoming your own bank, it's important, especially with these types of stories. And this is just an example of why Bitcoin uh went from low 60s to you know mid-70s on trading, and it'll continue to do that, and we'll see what happens with uh the continuation of the war, which doesn't look like it's gonna stop anytime soon, which may be the whole point. All right, let's uh let's jump around a little bit. Let me uh let me pull this up. This is another article, and then we're gonna get into some of the stuff on on the war. I'll cover as many things as I can today. It's as you can imagine, uh, the psychological toll of following metals markets now that the um the giant banks, which I think they have a there's a concerted effort to put small operators out of business um by drying up liquidity, by making it three and five weeks out to get paid on something, by drying up supply lines, and then by manipulating the price at such a rate that how could you ever really plan or do it? I mean, this this is not uh market forces, folks. This is there's fourth-dimensional governmental warfare going on inside the commodities market. So it's a this is a race to see who controls what. So you're stuck in the middle too, but the big banks would love nothing more than to create less and less variety. I'm talking about the large holders. They'd like they'd love less and less variety. So it's uh, I think a concerted effort. And uh good luck uh to them on that. I'm I'm still here, and I think we'll be around a year from now or five years from now. Uh, but it won't be because I took a break. So let's put it that way. Uh, here's the next story. Uh let's stop the screen and put this up.

unknown 25:37

All right.

Market Manipulation And Metals Liquidity

Hormuz Chokepoint And Energy Shock

SPEAKER_00 25:37

Yeah, this is zero hedge. Wall Street desperately seeks details on Trump's plan to unclog the Hormuz choke point. It's been a wild ride and crude over the past few days. With Brent crude futures, we're capped near$84 a barrel on Tuesday afternoon before sliding down to 81 late Wednesday afternoon, only to surge back up to 84 this morning. As shipping industry leaders and insiders on Wall Street analysts await exact details on the Trump's administration's proposal to keep tankers uh transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The critical maritime choke point remains paralyzed, raising the risk of an energy shock in parts of the world that rely heavily on those flows, particularly in Asia. President Trump wrote in a true social post that he will provide insurance for all maritime trade through the U.S. Development Finance Corporation. Well, that's your tax dollars at work there, folks. You know, here's another way to um unclog the Strait of Hormuz. Don't do the war. Just don't do that. Seemed like a, I don't know, that's uh so counterintuitive. Like we what do you mean, Tony? We got a department of war and we got a guy named Pete. Isn't it time to go on an all-out World War III adventure? Don't you want to sacrifice your sons and daughters to Moloch? Aren't you ready to do that? Epstein said so. This is Operation Epstein Fury, Tony. Don't you want to do that? They're gonna close the Strait of Hormuz, so there's gotta be a plan. Now comes the hard part. With the shipping industry and Wall Street analysts will all ask the same question: how will every tanker transiting the uh Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Oman into the Strait and onward to the Persian Gulf be protected by U.S. or Allied air or naval forces? Well, they don't know that. And we don't know what we've unleashed. As a matter of fact, how do you even believe anything at this point? When you know what I know, right? And most of my audience knows if you're tuning into like we're a niche show. Like I'm gonna talk about stuff that it doesn't get me a lot of followers because it's not popular. It's kind of watching the MAGA movement decay and die right now, it gives me no pleasure at all because I was once very much adamant and supportive of what that was supposed to be. Kind of like I used to in 2007, on December 16th, 2007, I was part of the donations and the movement to make the Tea Party with Ron Paul. Uh, but that thing is going away now. MAGA's going away, and it's all imploding because we abandoned virtue, abandoned principle to do this crusade on behalf of a foreign nation state and for God knows why. Right. And it just could be exactly what I'm about to play here with uh with Bill Cooper after we check on the uh the chat. This is what happens. This is a direct correlation and maybe the whole point of economic chaos. You know, we went in and grabbed Maduro in Venezuela with their massive oil reserves and everything else. I just read an article uh where the state-owned mining company in Venezuela is going to be supplying U.S. with like a thousand kilograms of gold so far. I'm wondering what all of that means, like the state-owned, like what sort of collaboration, what's going on there with uh commodities, and how much do these companies stand to make? You know, that a lot of this is uh it could be several layers. You know, uh maybe the point isn't prosperity and low gas prices. Perhaps it's a short-term profit taking, perhaps it's a way to tank the economies, or perhaps it's a way to uh make people beg for uh some sort of uh international oversight and restructuring of economics, uh the economic order. Maybe it's one of those things, right? Yeah, Wall Street and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz down by 90%. Analysis of vessel activity indicates tanker transits are now around 90% lower than last week. Yeah, that's not good. Um but again we had to do the war. You know, it's uh Israel needed it done. Netanyahu said, let's get this done. You know, they had their boy, uh Epstein, working on so many of our leaders, finding only the best, you know, because this country doesn't produce George Washington's anymore, it doesn't produce Thomas Jefferson's or Teddy Roosevelt's. And if it does, they're not gonna get anywhere near the levers of power because um, well, they might be pro-peace, uh, they might be pro-po prosperity, and they didn't go to Epstein Island, you know. Um, you know, and they don't wave the or wear the lapel pin of a foreign nation. You see these uh churches flying these Israeli flags in there. It's just uh idolatry. Um I mean, I've seen it, I grew up with it, and I even as a young age, I just go, I don't understand that. What what are we doing now? So wait a minute. What what is you know, I'd hear that in church. America only exists, God favored, you know, made America exist to make Israel happen. I'm like, wow, that's uh that's not what I fight for, and I don't believe that at all. Matter of fact, I find that to be uh insane and demonic. So just just so we're clear on where I stand, it's funny because I please no one with my views um because you you're not either uh I'm not uh hateful enough or I'm not supportive of the of Zionism. So it's like uh I'm just walking, I'm in a no man's land. All right, let's uh let's check on the chat really quick as we're about halfway through the transmission. I'll check on how things are going over there. It's good to see everybody. Dustin Helm in the chat. And then we see uh oh how do I Gorilla Underground. There he is. There is uh there's my there's my guy. That is the great BRV, ladies and gentlemen. Let's see. Uh got a pretty active chat over on Rumble. You never know who's gonna show up on the on the show. Thanks for being here, guys. Uh, what words spell? I like that. Yeah, what do words? Words spelling is uh is a is a is uh indeed magic. That's why it's called spelling. It's words matter, words are magic. Dad guy 24. Thanks for standing by the Wolfpack, sir. Well, I appreciate you. I we wrote a letter yesterday uh to uh an email out to all Wolfpack members that explaining where we uh have arrived and that we've done a I'm really proud of my people. We've worked around the clock to keep the Wolfpack supplies running at the best possible price, and it's been really tough. A lot of the stuff that I sent out, um, and this is part of the game, you do this when you you're an operator and you just smile. Uh uh sometimes you lose money on it because you bought it as even if we're buying under spot and these whipsaw prices that these uh banksters are doing and governmental entities are doing, whipsawing the price for profit taking and other things um have really put downward pressure, but we're still fine. And uh very thankful for all the members. I was like, I'll be here next year. You guys keep stacking with us. All right. Let me put up this uh story from Bill Cooper real quick. And actually, just a it's just a small clip. Let me put this on the screen standby. I am my own producer. In case you couldn't tell. Let me see. I gotta go through all of the I have so many links open. This is probably how my brain actually looks in real life. Just all these tabs running at once. All right. Let me see. What did it say? It's uh that's a it's a bing video. That's not it. That's this is the other Bing video. Yeah, we got we got another Bing video. There's two Bing videos that I have. All right, let me see if I can uh make this work. This is the great Bill Cooper uh about uh 1992.

SPEAKER_04 34:53

Standby what role um in the Middle East again does Israel play in this? Israel was created as the instrument to bring about the Battle of Armageddon and the fulfillment of prophecy, a war that will be so terrible, where nuclear weapons will be used, so that the American citizens and the other people of the world will get down on their knees and beg for no more war. And what is the answer to that? They're going to be told the only way we can guarantee no more war is if we destroy the sovereignty of nations and we come together as one humanity in a one-world government. Right. Now I'm telling you, unless the American people wake up, let's stop it. Starting in about 1996, the Battle of Armageddon will become a reality.

Bill Cooper Clip And Prophecy Politics

Escalation Signals And Regional Entanglements

Antiwar Headlines And Constitutional Questions

The Seduction Of War

Spot Prices, Wolfpack Update, And Sign-Off

SPEAKER_00 35:45

You know what's interesting about that is uh he calls out, he says '92, and uh Bill Cooper talks about 1996. Is it you've seen all the videos that have come out, and this goes beat before that, but really the the true propaganda to to start this war of Armageddon, right? This this the Middle Eastern war, the the destructive war that to bring down the American Republic, right, uh from the inside by exhausting it started around 1996. He's not wrong. I mean, if the go back and look at the the policy changes that were made, what was implemented, and this is post uh Oklahoma City, when you had the you know the Tim McVeigh, the Manchurian candidate who just you know his can he's activated now and they destroyed the uh with an inside job, they destroy the uh uh constitutional movement, what was the uh right wing resistance, whatever that was coming, alternative viewpoints that were being formed at the time. I remember because uh I was 14, 15. Uh my dad was taking me to uh different conferences. I learned a lot, you know, but that all stopped with Tim McVeigh. But they had written something right before that. Uh one of them was authored by Joe Biden. It was the uh it was the Bones, the original Patriot Act. It's just that Oklahoma City wasn't big enough. They needed their surveillance state uh to happen so they could further control political dissent, and they got that after you know post-9-11. But that's for a whole other show. Well God. I just wanted to play a little bit of Bill Cooper. Uh his voice is sorely missed. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna play um pretty soon on the if you haven't subscribed to my podcast channel, you're gonna want to do that. I don't put everything up on YouTube, but Paratrouther, if you go find that, the RSS feed, that's what you want to go find. I just I've been putting up every Wednesday. Uh we're putting up a uh either an older show or a newer show, just keeping the feed live. We just did one on Rudolph Hess, uh, and that's a mystery that you want to dive into, especially kind of goes in conjunction with this, like wanting peace. You know, peace isn't um uh peace sells, but who's buying, uh, to uh to quote Megadeth. But that's where we are at and uh I I wanted to talk about some of the aspects of uh this war and its relationship to uh the new world order, uh to what what is what is being built right now and what uh right under our nose and uh what we need to be aware of. So I appreciate everybody who subscribes to the podcast. And uh please give us a five-star review, even if you disagree with me, even if you don't like it, give me a five-star and I'll read it on air. All right. Uh let me jump around a little bit. We've got about uh 20 minutes left. Uh let's see. What do I want to go into? I think maybe we'll close out the day uh with something from antiwar.com. Let me see what I can do. Hold on. Uh let's let's go to Yeah, this is interesting because I got a little bit of history. So let me put this on the screen. This is natural news. Uh naturalnews.com, and I as when I saw this headline, I go, I know what that means. Unleash Chang. Rubio signals historic escalation in Iran campaign. And the U.S. signals a major escalation of strikes against Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure. Secretary Rubio promises a new intense campaign of systematically destroying Iranian capabilities. The rhetoric invokes historical parallels of removing military restraints to justify the action. The move follows conflicting White House narratives on the war's rationale causing political fallout. A sustained strategic bombing campaign using heavy U.S. bombers is now anticipated. The United States is on the brink of a significant military escalation against Iran, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio warning that the scope and power of American strikes are set to increase dramatically. In an announcement on Monday, Rubio signaled that a new, more intense phase of the campaign is imminent, directly targeting Iran's military infrastructure and nuclear ambitions. Appearing alongside senior defense officials, Rubio outlined a coordinated effort between U.S. Central Command and Israeli forces. He stated they are engaged in the systematic destruction of their missiles, the missile belt, the destruction of their launchers, and the destruction of their ability to make these, as well as the destruction of their navy. Rubio's choice of words carried historical weight. He declared, you're about to see we're going to unleash Chiang on these people in the next few hours and days. And this is why I wanted to bring this to your attention. This is important. The phrase unleash Chang is a callback to the 1950s to political debates advocating for the removal of restrictions on nationalist Chinese forces to attack mainland China. Its use today underscores a philosophy of removing restraints on military action echoing past movements where presidential authority and military strategy violently clashed, such as when President Harry Truman relieved General Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War. The Secretary's warning follows a period of heightened volatility. Well, I wanted to explain that a little bit. Yeah, this is uh talk about unleashed Shang. Check this out. Let's put this up on the screen. This is uh Drudge report. I'm never surprised by headlines anymore. I'm just kind of exhausted by them. Uh boots on the ground, question mark, the Kurds prep invasion. The per the Kurds, the Kurdish people, which still don't have their own country, uh that were gassed by Saddam and kind of abandoned by the more on more than one occasion abandoned by the Americans, uh, somehow are going to get into the war with Iran. So buckle up for that. Whatever that means. And uh that might be A little bit uh uh in relation to Unleashed Chang. We'll see. All bets seem to be off at this point. All right, let's uh let's continue down this uh line of logic. I wanted to go to one of the things I did and I talked about on Saturday on America Unplugged, is uh I went and I donated uh do a monthly donation to antiwar.com. I think that's gonna be more important than ever. If you guys know anything about what happened to uh dissent or free thinkers uh post-1917 with the Espionage Act and Woodrow Wilson, uh his evil, evil soul. Um he was a puppet, a uh a meat puppet for the international cabal to implement things that had never been part of the American character before, like the income tax. Like that's what he did. Um he brought you the Federal Reserve, he brought you wars for democracy, a word not found in our constitution or in our founding documents. Uh, but that was Woodrow, Woodrow Wilson. He created the Espionage Act. And if you while he wasn't um busy screening birth of a nation inside the White House, he was uh trying to erase uh and arrest and erase people who disagreed with his uh his Rothschild war of World War I, so he could complete the Balfour Declaration. Guys, history uh will make you kind of cuckoo, you know, once you actually really get into it and learn something about these people. One of my favorite quotes, and I need to find it again, but when you read something like this, it it always sticks with you. But in the book uh Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War by Pat Buchanan, uh there's a scene where, and this is real, like uh at the Treaty of Versailles, and the read at the end of World War I, and uh by the way, Woodrow Wilson didn't bring diplomats in the State Department with him. He brought Colonel Mandel House, which was a banker's agent. That's who he brought to Paris with him to read to negotiate the peace and the standing of the world. He had his 14 points and all his blah blah. But they had this map laid out, and he was like drawing up where the countries and new borders would be. And somebody said, uh, Mr. President, that just um that doesn't have any logic to it. And he was like, he just snapped back. He's like, What the hell do I care about logic? This was a the only first and only PhD president, ladies and gentlemen. All right, let's uh look at some of the headlines on antiwar.com, and then I'm gonna close out with uh something from LouRockwell.com. Let me put this up on the screen here. This is antiwar.com. Just just for the headlines alone, like you can just read through the headlines and it creates a show for you. Uh is US Israeli strikes on Iran kill over 1,000 civilians. So, you know, um I guess we had to do it. It was it was imminent since 19 uh 90 that uh according to Benjamin Netanyahu, that that uh Iran got the bomb. And if they got the bomb, then we can't invade, right? What have you really I mean, boomers should really do their best. Um, the the call-in people for Mark Levin should really do some soul searching and ask themselves a lot of hard questions on why they believe that Iran can topple and destroy the earth. Like, how how are they a threat to the United States of America? You need to really think that through. Uh so now a thousand people, this is just the beginning. So a thousand people have to die uh for what? Right. So let's start there. Uh report Heggseth and Rubio at odds feud over the U.S. troops in Iran. So boots on the ground, right? U.S. Navy sub uses torpedo to sink Iranian warships near Sri Lanka. Names and ages of the children killed in strike on Iranian school. So they're pupp. A lot of people said that was uh propaganda. I didn't believe that. I've seen schools and apartment buildings that were bombed by smart bombs. Senate fails to halt Trump's war on Iran. Of course it does. Hey, has anybody ever uh thought in the last two weeks, you know what the Supreme Court has told us? That tariffs were outside of the purview and constitutional authority of the chief executive, but starting a war when we are not attacked is completely fine. Yeah. Have you really broke that like an economic decision by the chief executive that is pretty much in line. I don't disagree, I don't agree with his tactics, but it's in line with our our founding uh is not okay. But this is totally cool. Trump to request an extra 50 billion for Iran war. Well, maybe that's why. Uh Pentagon tells Congress it can't intercept all Iranian shared drones uh uh Shahid drones. So he just goes on and on. And there was a c I can't even get to all the articles. Uh there was one on uh on Iran I wanted to read, but I want to do this one. This is the last article of the day, folks, and uh I didn't even plug today. I didn't I didn't get into some of the things I and some house cleaning. Maybe maybe I'll do another show over the weekend or something just to catch everybody up. But uh we got it, we're gonna record a new Paratrouther this weekend. We got the new one out on Rudolph Hess. Go check that out. Go subscribe to Paratrouther. It's not everything's on the YouTube channel. Go over and find where Podcast or anywhere podcasts are served up. Uh we got some cool stuff coming out this year. And I just put out a way back one episode number three of Paratrouther. We did one on the Georgia guide stones. Should go check that out. All right, uh, let's go back to LouRockwell.com. See if I can find it. I got this is it's probably a great representation of my brain. Uh all of these tabs opened up. All right, one second. Let me put this up. This caught my eye. This is Lou Rockwell, uh, written by John Leake. Uh on the seduction of war. The drama of vanquishing a loathsome enemy seems to activate the same neural circuitry in which lust resides. This is there's a funny scene in Stanley Kubrick's Doctor Strange Love when the guys in the Pentagon realize there's no stopping the imminent nuclear catastrophe and they shift their focus to the question of how the human race will be reconstituted. That's pretty funny. Doctor Strangelove assures them that the an elite group of men and women with uh 10 extreme, so it's a 10 to 10 to 1 ratio of women to men, uh, could live at the bottom of a mine shaft and perform prodigious reproductive labor. Upon hearing this, the gloomy atmosphere lifts. Maybe the end of the world isn't such a dreadful thing. This is the way I don't know if you've ever seen Dr. Stragelove and uh Peter Sellers. He keeps he tries to keep his arm from giving a Nazi salute, you know, and uh because that's in what Kubrick is referencing in the entire thing is the importation of the Nazi scientist and uh the Nazi industry military industrial complex that really makes up the Fourth Reich. Uh that was because that's the character he's speaking, he's trying not to give a Heil Hitler, you know, he's trying to not do that. And um he tells them that uh don't worry, you know, we're we'll we'll die and you know, the have the humanity will die off mostly in the war, but we'll be have all these mineshafts and we'll have uh you'll have to repopulate the earth. And um there's a funny scene I've often talked about where they talk about how many how great the Soviets uh had mineshafts. Well, we have a mineshaft gap, kind of like we used to say we had a missile gap. You know, the Soviets had more missiles than us, and now they've got more mineshafts than us. It's really a dark humor, uh, but probably very called for. Because I've long suspected that war, the psychological and moral drama of killing a loathed enemy and exulting in the triumph of one's superior strength, may activate the same neural activity as lust. In my younger and more carefree days, I remember the experience of seeing a beautiful woman at a cocktail party and going into a trance-like state that seemed to shut off all critical thinking. Schopenhauer characterized this trance-like state as an expression of the will that governs all living things to do nature's bidding. It seems to me that war has the same seductive power over people's minds, which probably explains why war propagandists never change their script, i.e., the same drama always works in the way the mere sight of a beautiful girl always induces the same trance-like state. Reflecting on the evil of war, James Madison wrote the following. In war, the discretionary power of the executive is extended. Its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emolents is multiplied, and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. I've quoted that so many times. Man is a tribal animal that is always driven by the will to expand his tribe at the expense of others. He says, I recently had a conversation with evolutionary biologist Brett Weinstein, in which he told me something I have long suspected, namely that humanity is now suffering from a fatal evolutionary mismatch in which our archaic biological imperative to extend the power of our tribe at the expense of others is being equipped with ever more sophisticated weapons with ever greater destructive capacity. Weinstein is gravely concerned that if we don't learn to recognize this mesh match and make a conscious effort to counter it, we could face an extinction of our own making. It's Oscar Wilde. And so we had this real jump, right? We had barbarism to decadence with no civilization in between. He says, uh, no fighting, no fighting in the war room. That's exactly right. Uh that's from Dr. Strange. No fighting in the war room. All right, folks. Um let's uh check some spot prices and then uh I'll get you guys out of here for today. Let's put this up on the screen. All right, the price of the yellow metal as of right now. You had a big jump over the weekend. David Knight was asking me about that. Uh, you know, the sell-off on gold. It was up to like$53,000,$53 and some change, almost$5,400. And now it's uh$5,061 Luciferian bankster notes, make a troy ounce, uh$81.50 for the price of the white metal uh or gray metal, whichever you want to call it, also known as silver, uh, both of those uh down on the day. But uh I had concluded with David Knight this morning on our talk that uh a lot of this is short-lived euphoria, some of this profit taking and sell-off in metals because uh, you know, the defense contracts and things, the money printing, the perceived uh economic boon that will happen uh in the aftermath of this war. But uh I think if the smart money looking at the long term, if you actually just zoom out, um, this doesn't look good for economic prosperity or innovation or anything that would actually make long-term prosperity possible. So um profit taking going on for sure. Uh there's a looks like gold and silver are on sale. And uh that if that's the case, always go over to Wise Wolf Gold and Silver or join our Wolfpack, uh Wolfpack.gold. And again, uh Paratrouther got some great episodes coming out. Uh go check out our past stuff, give us a review. Uh, I try to uh put out an episode every uh couple of weeks. Um, but in the intern, we're gonna do Wayback Wednesdays, where you can uh get an older episode. I'll go back, I'll re-download it, put it back up through a fresh lens, and you can uh check that out. I'll also be on with the uh great guard Goldsmith. Uh thanks, Guard, for uh supporting the show. I'll be on with him uh this evening on his program. Um you guys don't know. We guard's one of the smartest people. Uh we have in alternative media. Uh perhaps, I mean, probably the most uh thoughtful and uh hardest working guy who's a producer, he produces a massive amount of content. I don't know how he does it. I just honestly don't I get tired just knowing how much content that uh Gar Goldsmith produces, so go check him out. All right. Uh we will see you uh next week, folks. Uh uh Interesting Times, the uh Chinese curse. May you live in interesting times. I'm gonna go uh get a cup of coffee and um clear my throat a little bit. I've got uh Beans the Brave gives her best, a pumpkin here at the shop. The my my black cat who takes care of my Texas shop, she gives her best. Uh and Beth, uh the uh the German Shepherd is also uh here. I got a I've got a little bit of a zoo here in North Texas. Come by and see us, okay? We'll see you next week. Uh you guys take care of each other. End of transmission.
