Broadcasting from deep within the heart of Texas here at the Wise Wolf location in Denison. I've got my co-pilot and co-host Beans the Brave, just off camera, keeping us safe from woodland creatures, bad vibes, intruders. Official broadcast of the apocalypse, folks. It's um it's a privilege to be able to recognize when you're in a deep within a uh psychological operation or attempted mind control of the human population. But uh I'm I think it also is a massive burden. So if you you can't unsee it. Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it. So we'll get into uh a big chunk of that today. Uh a lot of the headlines are reminding me of my own life. And looking back, um, gosh, over 23 years, as a matter of fact, uh, or more than that, if you look at my total military career that I had, which is just a brief span of time in my life, but it shaped a great deal of how I view things. And I was uh sitting down with David Ike in uh London, outside of London in England, uh last week at this almost the exact same time. And we had about a two and a half hour talk, and I said, David, uh, it's kind of fortuitous. You know, it's 23 years to the day that they started the Iraq War, and and uh you and I are sitting down and talking about the consequences not only of that, but of what is going on now. So totally surreal. I got back uh this this weekend and just been getting things together, organizing my thoughts, and I'll release those shows uh very soon. I sit down with Gareth Ike, uh, the iconic uh crew there, uh Richard Willett, the documentarian, super smart people and good people, you know. And it's funny, we all need allies in this uh current reality. I look around and I see just how much mental illness is out there. And uh not to not to say that I'm running on, you know, I'm state of the art, like my thinking is is is right, or that um uh you know that uh I'm I'm gonna be able to do price predictions and uh you know be a seer or some sort of oracle. I just uh believe that the mass uh understanding, the the dosage that's being fed to through mainstream media is poisoning people's minds. And it shows up in their uh uninformed beliefs. As a matter of fact, we'll we'll get into a big chunk of that today, but it's parapolitics precious metals, folks, and we're uh broadcasting in defiance of globalist goblins, the neocons, and the new world order, broadcasting on WWCR. I wanted to say hi to my worldwide Christian radio audience as well. Thanks for sticking with us, and thanks for thanks to uh Jason Barker and the Knights of the Storm uh who filled in for me uh not only last week, but a couple of times in in February. I really appreciate that. Uh means a lot to me, gives me the chance to uh get out of the studio, get away from the office when I need to, and I'm usually working, I'm usually doing stuff. So I think the interviews with uh with David Icke and and friends will will definitely be worth it. Uh uh there was some subject matter covered that I I tried to ask David things that he hadn't been asked before, or at least I hadn't heard him been asked before. So um I'll release those very soon uh here on the uh the podcast channels. All right, folks, so it's 26th of March 2026. Uh gold, let's talk a little bit of um markets before I get into this article from Martin Armstrong. We're gonna talk about the the Strait of Hormuz. Um the war's going great, by the way. It's it's really doing fantastic. I mean, War Pete, uh, he's uh he's a magnificent Secretary of War. I mean, have you ever seen victory look uh so suspiciously like failure? It's it's really bad, folks. And it's uh and what's so so bad about it, we're gonna get into another article uh from Natural News today. It really hits close to home because you know they're gonna be looking at deploying ground troops. And um yeah, just a uh a lot to unpack there. We rolled the rock up the hill, folks. We did all this, those U America firsters and traditionalists, and everybody who put their their money and their time and their energy on the line and their their spirit, you know, for uh restoring this country, and we get let down again. We did it again. Um, which isn't the first time this has happened in American history, but but I, you know, for I I was gonna use some choice words there. I'm glad I didn't. It's my my paratrooper, paratrooper uh gut reaction to say something. But no, we really did uh step in it here in some ways, and I don't think it's gonna be recoverable. Uh so we all have to, I think it's time to take a real sobering look at the actual playing field and and what's going on. As a matter of fact, it reminds me there's this scene in my favorite movie, uh Oliver Stone's Nixon, and uh this is like the 1960 debate, is you know, debating Kennedy. It's the first televised debate. And um, you know, people on the radio thought he did really well against Kennedy, but he just he'd been running himself ragged, he was all pale, and Kennedy was all, you know, he's tanned and looked rested and everything, and uh just really backed him into a corner on Castro and uh taking out Castro and and Cuba and regime change and stuff that Nixon couldn't talk about. And there's this scene where Nixon kind of just backs down off of it. He doesn't uh go toe-to-toe with Kennedy on it. And Bob Haldeman, who's who's uh played by James Woods, he just looks at the uh looks at the moderator, looks back over at the staff and goes, it's over. More coffee. Like he just he already transitioned, he realized that they'd lost. Like the whole thing was lost. It's over, more coffee. So that's what I'm doing. It's over. More coffee. Let's move on to uh some of the headlines on precious metals. Yes, gold had its worst week in since the 1980s, and that's good for all of you. Um let me put this up on the screen. It had its worst week, and it's good for you because it gives you a chance to buy in. And as a matter of fact, it's doing what it's supposed to do. And I get a lot so much feedback from people that why isn't gold at 6,000 an ounce? It's it's a global crisis. Yeah, it's a global crisis, and there's a lot of people that are getting liquid right now to uh put into infrastructure and other things and pay off debts to weather the storm. And as a matter of fact, gold isn't even supposed to be here at this number. I mean, it hasn't been that long ago that gold hit 2,500, and I thought, wow, we really crossed a boundary. That was August of 2024. So we've more than doubled that, and then we've pulled back some. So this is Kit Co. Gold has done its job providing investors with liquidity in times of uncertainty. This is the standard charter's Cooper. Investors may be disappointed with gold's recent price action as it has just ended its longest consecutive losing streak in history. However, one market analyst has said that the precious metal has actually continued to do its job as a safe haven asset throughout the decline. We're getting a little bit of um dreams barking in the background. She's dream barking. Bing B. In her latest precious metals report, Suki Cooper, global head of community uh commodities research at Standard Chartered Bank, said that gold has provided investors with important liquidity as the U.S.-Israel war with Iran has created significant global supply chain issues, distressing financial markets. At the same time, the chaos in the Middle East is driving energy prices higher, igniting new inflation fears. In an interview with CNBC, Cooper said that because of the size of the gold market, it can be an easy source of liquidity for investors during periods of economic uncertainty. And that's pretty much it, right? Um this is the takeaway. First of all, gold's doing what it's supposed to do. Uh this isn't um you're talking about temporary lulls, and we can talk about Bitcoin too. Bitcoin's doing, I think, holding up quite well in the face of everything that's going on. The massive market uncertainty. Markets love certainty, and we're giving them none of that. The fact that we're actually sustaining civilization at this point is pretty fascinating, don't you think? Like the wheels continue to turn, even with these really stupid, and by the way, suspiciously on purpose, uh, actions that we're taking. I was listening to a podcast the other day on Bitcoin, and the host said, uh, if you wanted to reverse engineer an energy crisis, this is what it would look like. Exactly. Right. If you wanted to engineer, well, if you wanted to get to a place where you're in climate lockdown, right? Uh we got it two weeks to bring crude oil down to two weeks to flatten the curve, right? If you want to do that, go back to that language. You've got to work from home. It's the energy crisis, everything's the prices are rising. We have to do something about inflation. We're all in this together. Oh, and it's the war, the war is on, right? We're in a war effort. By the way, they just upped the draft age to 42. So if it's it's not too late. If you're in your late 30s, you can go fight for Israel anytime you need to. You can you can suit up. It's uh I don't know if the if the open age for enlistment is up to 42, but the draft age is up there. And uh along with that, and some of the other hidden news that you don't see on reports is that big retailers like Walmart, they're about to start putting electronic price tags on things on the shelves so they can literally change them from home office in real time. I don't know where have I seen that before. Places like, oh, Venezuela and uh Zimbabwe. Let's see, uh Weimar Republic, Germany. That's like 19, late 1920s, early 30s. I've seen stuff like that before. That's the real time stuff that's happening. Okay. And underneath the surface of it all, the markets are going crazy. There's no way to project what prices are going to be short term for anything like gold or silver or Bitcoin or anything, any kind of commodity, because so much is tied to it. I mean, silver is an industrial metal, folks. And every time one of these tomahawk missiles blows up, I mean, it's uh 500 ounces. There's a monster box of silver in each tomahawk missile, not to mention all of the weaponry, all of the electronics, all the stuff that we're blowing up. And it's over and over and over again. That's not recoverable. And you're talking about millions and millions of ounces, hundreds of millions of ounces that are deficits that have been deficits each year for the silver market. So that's one factor. So you're talking about scarcity and shortage. Gold is another thing, it's being stored by central banks, hoarded by central banks, uh more of an asset than the dollar now. The gold surpassed the dollar is the number one reserve asset held by central banks last month. I didn't see that coming that fast. It it was it was at number two for a long time, but because the price of gold and because of the stockpiles that they have, it surpassed it. So the dollar is already uh on the run. It's already uh been shelved by central banks, and they're doing this in real time, but you also have other market forces. So it's not going to be like the expected wow, there's a beginning of kinetic war in World War III, and uh gold should be at$10,000 an ounce, not so fast. Because you are talking about just like this article said, it provides liquidity. A lot of people are getting liquid, they're getting out of markets entirely, or they're using it for debt pay down or restructuring or anything. It's maybe even using it to relocate. You realize the damage that's been done from this war and what's happening regionally. I have, you know, a good friend of mine talked about this on the David Knight show. Very, very good friend, I've known for 30 plus years. And he travels all over the Middle East and he does uh deals for oil drilling. And he said, There's no way that you can do the kind of traveling that I've been doing for the last 10 years again, right now. And it probably won't be for a very long time. You realize that what won't get done now, because he's an American. And the longer this drags on, even with Iran's behavior, because all they have to do now is not lose. Like you're picking a fight with them, and all you have to do is if you're Iran, it's just don't surrender at this point. Yeah, there's gonna be some real fallout. We'll get into some of that today. I want to talk about the uh Martin Armstrong analysis as well. Alright, and uh there's an article from anti-war, I definitely want to get into, but that's probably what we're gonna take. That's that's what's consuming most of my my brain power. Alright. Let's uh let's take this off the screen. I got any comments going on. I see. Uh let's see. One of the comments asked me, do you Tony, do you see the 1990 interview floating around of Pat Buchanan stating Congress is bought off by Israel? Oh, uh I've seen that. Yeah, he that's the one of the he's the original OG for getting in trouble when the Gulf War was about to kick off. And he said, Nobody wants this war. He's like, the people that are gonna die are uh guys named um, I think he's like guys named like uh John Smith and Leroy Brown are gonna die for this, and uh the only people that want it are the military industrial complex and their Amen corner at APAC. And he said that on a McLaughlin group, and that was uh revolutionary because he was called anti-Semitic for that. Yeah, they shouldn't have done that because then they've just made that whole term doesn't mean anything. Like that was an intellectually astute observation. One of the smartest men that has ever walked the planet is Pat Buchanan. And I'll I'll get to this other comment, but I appreciate that. We're we're live on YouTube, live on Rumble. I'll get over the to the Rumble chat as well. I see uh my son, Houston, he turned 21 yesterday. I'm watching him through the window here. He's working the counter. Uh he was born here in Denison. As a matter of fact, this was 2005, and uh we're not from here. Just funny that we it both ended up, we were back here in Denison, and um, I remember after he was born, I'd stayed up all night and I went and got uh a burger from one of the burger places here is a Whataburger. And I remember what I was listening to. I was going through the drive-thru. I was just thinking about him being born, and I remember I was going through the drive-thru at that time. This is 2005, and I was listening to a book on silver. Uh I remember that. And this was, you know, seems like a whole lifetime ago. Uh but yeah, proud, proud of my boy. And happy birthday to him. All right, let's uh let's dig into this article from Martin Armstrong, and then we'll get into some of the foreign policy implications and uh some anti-war stuff. I'll put this up. This is gonna be activist posts. And you guys are familiar with uh Martin Armstrong, Armstrong economics. Uh he has the Socrates program. Interesting guy. I've talked about him for many years. Says the advantage of having offices around the world is that it also provides us with boots on the ground for first-hand accounts. We are getting from our Thailand office that there is no gasoline here. Uh up north lineups for diesel. I tried to fill up a bike, no gasoline available. I tried several other stations, but all are out. As reported, Asia is going to be hit hard with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. There was no imminent threat from Iran. This has been a 40-year vendetta by Netanyahu, which he did admit on national TV, but asserted it was fake news that he dragged Trump into this war. Of course, the article is the global energy crisis and the market impact into 2028. Matter of fact, let me let me read you something real quick, just while we're on the on the set of uh Netanyahu. Um I pulled this, uh this is uh just a little quote from a book, The Trigger, by David Icke. And uh I want to read a couple of things. So this goes way back. Okay, this he's talking about a 40-year vendetta. Um, this is again the book The Trigger, David Icke. If you ever want to read a book about 9-11 and really dig into it, I I can't, it's there's no other work like it. And they don't put it on Kindle and there's no audio book. You got to go get the actual copy. But I I I pulled this for my son yesterday, and I highlighted this for years ago. But uh I want to give you that and then we'll get back to this article just because it crossed my mind. So we pick up the trail in 1979 when future Israeli Prime Minister, U.S. educated Benjamin Netanyahu, organized the Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism, JCIT, where he called for a quote, war on terror, unquote, to destroy what he called international terrorism. Again, folks, this is 1979, right? This is the year, um, by no coincidence, that there was the installation of Saddam, there was the uh install the Iranian uh hostage crisis, that was the emergence of the mullahs and the Ayatollah and all of that, and radical Islam. It's like the birth of the birth of Al-Qaeda was 1979. It's the database, right? This was 22 years before his wish was granted as a result of 9 11. No wonder his first public reaction to the attacks was they were, quote, very good for Israel, unquote. And then I wanted to this 40 year vendetta. Uh, let's go back at least to 1992. Iran close to nuclear weapon. This is from Netanyahu, 1992, in front of Congress. 1996, urgent. And he repeated Iran is close to nuclear weapon. 2002, imminent warning again to the world. 2012, months away, quote unquote, for in a UN speech. 2015-2020's continued imminent warnings. So Iran has been months away from the bomb uh for almost 40 years. So I'm glad we haven't reclassified the word imminent yet, though. All right. It may sound strange, but up until March 18th, 2026, this war has been more provado in theater than an actual all-out war. There has been a deliberate attempt not to destroy the energy infrastructure of Iran in hopes of leaving the energy sector intact to fund the new government after the planned regime change. But on the 18th, Netanyahu does not give a shit about the world or even Trump. He targeted Iran's south pars, which is the biggest gas field in the world with an estimated 51 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. Netanyahu did that because he wanted to turn the lights out in Iran since it's the source of all the energy of the government and the people. Iran retaliated in its most severe attacks yet. It targeted Qatar, this time doing damage, not superficial fires for a show. Trump was forced to back off and bluntly state that there would be no more attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure. Netanyahu does not really care. But Trump read him the Riot Act and agreed to stop attacking South Pars. The only way to stop this war and start some sort of de-escalation process requires Netanyahu to surrender his dream of a total annihilation of Iran. The other Gulf states would have to forego retaliation, and Trump will have to concede he cannot accomplish regime change. Do not hold your breath. Further escalation will end up destroying energy infrastructure. And that may be in the cards, given that the computer, he's talking about his Socrates program, implies this may get worse starting this summer into 2028. Yeah, how could further escalation not destroy more energy infrastructure? Think of the damage that's already done. And that's one of the things that we still don't have the full picture of the consequences of what's already, even if you stop today, which we're not going to do. And this should show you pretty much everything you need to know about American politics. Like, but whoever wins, we fight Israel's wars. Just today before the first strike, scallop polling has shown Americans' view of Israel hitting a new historic low because of Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Americans for the first time didn't sympathize more with the Israelis than the Palestinians. As the computer warned, cyclically, we were in an uptrend on anti-Semitism. And this war on Iran is not going to play well for Israel, no matter what Netanyahu says on TV. Sinking a tanker is not an energy crisis. It's the equivalent of a rounding error. Taking out the production infrastructure can lead to serious damage that could take more than one year to fix. The claims that the U.S. and Israel have destroyed Iran's missiles is simply not true. Iran has been planning for this war for at least a decade. All they have been able to do is bomb the tunnel entrances. They have bombed about 75% of the tunnel entrances, and Iran has dozens of these underground facilities. That's what I said earlier. All they have, I mean, think about it. You're talking about, I think Iran's like 95 million people or something. It's like three times the size of Iraq. Three times, I believe, the size of the population that Iraq was when I was part of that in 2003. Yeah, and we never really held it the way. And there was more of a softening of targets. You're talking about like a no-fly zone for over ten years. All the intelligence, all the groundwork that had been at we're we don't have that kind of history here. The attacks on prior to March 18th and Israel's unilateral attack on Gulf states was for show. Not devastating. Iran then attacked the Gulf states, and this was not for TV. Then the shock of everyone. Iran fired two intermediate range ballistic missiles toward Diego Garcia, a key U.S. UK military base in the Indian Ocean. That was 2,500 miles. Neither missile struck the base, nevertheless, that confirms that Iran can target beyond the Middle East. It is believed that one missile failed in flight, but the other was intercepted by a U.S. warship that launched an M N SM3 interceptor. President Trump, who has perhaps always been able to read the mood in a room, is finding himself on the outside looking in. The majority of Americans think President Donald Trump will order U.S. soldiers to Iran in a large-scale ground war, and less than 10% support that possibility, according to a new poll from Reuters. Is it even that high? I think that's that is that 10% just like Mark Levin listeners and Fox News people? Just like all you take all the members of like Congress and APAC and Fox News. Which is where Warpeak came from. The only way to secure the Strait of Hormuz is to occupy it with boots on the ground. You'll have to stage massive troops along the strait for 50 miles on both sides, plus you'll have to penetrate inward 100 miles on each side. Then you will have to create a no-fly zone that will have to be patrolled and monitored 100% of the time. As long as Iran has the ability to impede the oil traffic and production, they retain leverage that these so-called brilliant minds who never took into account this scenario because they're assumed being the biggest military power secures victory. Neither the U.S. nor Russia could totally win in Afghanistan when religion is at the core of military logic vanishes. This is the quagmire that Trump never expected because he trusted Netanyahu. Well, how in the world do you do that? How did you get this far? Which I don't believe you trust. I think it's d the golden pager, folks. They Netanyahu gave Trump a golden pager after they blew everybody up with the pagers. Are you starting to see? And I've been it's so funny. I've seen this stuff for years and years and years, and you and again, you talk about on the outside looking in. It's funny, I've been right about this foreign government, you know, and in infiltrating and influencing our politics for so long that by the time it's so obvious, it doesn't matter. You know, it's the problem with being an analyst when you're like, I trust my gut, I gotta go with it, and it's not popular. And by the time it becomes popular, it's like, yeah, so we already knew that. It's not, it's not anything special, Tony, that you think that. Uh, but it all is just coming to pass, which I think is good, right? It's not about me. But it's so funny. I had to sacrifice not being able to, you know, get, especially like uh political radio and things that I enjoyed, it just became so dominated. And you know what I'm talking about. It's like the Mark Levin's, the Ben Shapiro's. You know, this it's everything to them. It's this foreign nation state. And then you talk to uh Christian Zionists and people that like if you want to run for office, like you're barred from it. Um like the guy who beat Dan Crenshaw. It's like, are we gonna get any better? He's another one of these Israeli firsters. And just because, you know, he outmagged him, but does that really matter? Don't you see that this one subject takes away everything else? It cancels it out. Netanyahu never took into account that his assassinations would fail. Netanyahu believed that killing the Ayatollah would bring down the government instantly. Netanyahu suffers from a very well-known syndrome. This is commonly referred to as the leader removal fallacy or the benevolent hegemon misconception, which seemed to be a delusional trait of all neocons. Do you see why I don't like neocons, folks? Do you see what evil they are? They're just pure evil. They are Satan's agents on this planet. In political science, foreign policy analysts and in military history is more formally known as the fallacy of the single cause or the regime change fallacy. However, this specific scenario assumes that a foreign population is simply waiting to be liberated. This is, I don't know that they just dress this stuff up, you know, because I don't think they care about freedom or that somebody's waiting. I think it's if you look at the roots of neocons, you know, because they come from the wellspring, like the thought their their godfather, right, is Leon Trotsky, who was just uh revolutionary for rev for revolution's sake, you know, creating the state as God on earth, supplanting God. It's not about like spreading the love or the message of Christ or or redemption or you know, love one another. It's uh worship of the state and the supremacy of the state by you know, quote unquote, liberating mankind or the workers of the world unite, all that crap, right? All that stuff. Well, the neocons that they took all the stuff from Trotsky and they just refined it to make it sound good for quote unquote, you know, like capitalism or free markets, whatever the hell that means anymore. But they took it and just inverted it. As a matter of fact, Irving Kristol, uh Bill Kristol, who's the weekly standard, you know, like the guy who, you know, uh intellectually drove you know foreign policy for so much of the so-called right. Irving Kristol was his dad. And he said that uh a neocon is uh somebody, it was like a former uh like a former uh uh student uh of life that was mugged by reality or something like that. And so they just refined the actions. This is often labeled the democratic liberation illusion or the cakewalk myth we saw both in Afghanistan and Iraq. This seems to be a syndrome that they can actually believe or want for themselves as Superman saving the world and deserve medals and statues into their memory. The leader removal fallacy is the closest academic concept to this problem. It is the assumption that a leader is the sole source of a country's geopolitical behavior or internal strife, and that removing that individual will result in an immediate shift to peace, democracy, and gratitude towards the actor who removed them. It is funny that we're doing this again, right? We nobody got called to the carpet for Iraq, which was so I mean, you can uh it's it's more like a Russian doll that like a lie inside of a lie, you know, hidden in a misconception inside a fallacy, like all the stuff that they rolled out for the Iraq war, and then nobody, there's no real consequence other than the people, the troops you send there, and the people that live there, right? The real, the real world, you know, uh consequences are the people. But no one learns anything. The only thing, the only lesson we learn from history is that we do not learn from history. So then there's also the anthropomorphic fallacy, where in international relations this refers to the tendency to anthropomorphize a foreign nation, treating the leader as the country. And neocon believes that if they cut off the head, the body or the nation will surrender or die. In reality, nations are complex organisms. When a foreign power kills a leader, it often triggers nationalistic rally around the flag effect, where the population unites against the foreign invader, regardless of how they felt about the leader previously. There was no popular uprising in Iraq that they expected, and again here in Iran, but they dismissed that saying they would be oppressed. This only confirms the idea of the anthropomorphic fallacy, is completely the delusional. This is a quote. Here's a quote from Dick Cheney on the Iraq War. I think it will go relatively quickly, weeks rather than months. March 16th, 2003, just days before we started the war. Next is the cakewalk or mission accomplice syndrome. We heard with Iraq. This is the strategic overconfidence that regime change will be quick, easy, and welcome. We heard that nonsense with Iraq. In the historical context, the phrase cakewalk was infamously used by Dick Cheney. The syndrome involves ignoring post-conflict planning because the assumption is that the population will spontaneously reorganize into a pro-American or pro-intervenor democracy. That never happened. You know, some of this delusion, it comes from the misreading of history or the not completely understanding how all of that works. And MacArthur, he flies into to Tokyo. And they didn't have any like backup. There wasn't like they just did this is unknown, just lands in Tokyo. He'd been studying the Asian mind for decades. You know, he'd his dad, Arthur MacArthur, was in charge of the Philippines, you know, when he was a kid. So like he'd been over there and just been through it and understood it. And he was a master of war. But we're talking about a totally different situation. He lands, he has no security. They tell him, uh, sir, you know, if you step off the plane, like we can't, there's no, we can't protect you. And there's just all these just Japanese people lined up to see who it is, who the conqueror was. And he said, uh, don't worry, the Japanese people were will protect me. Because he understood the Asian mind. You know, this is uh I'm the conqueror. And so he stepped and walked right into the swell of people without any security. And uh that helped cement his um his role as the viceroy, as the uh the leader of Japan post-World War II, is and construct he even uh wrote their constitution, all the stuff that was done. But you're talking about a completely different culture, you're talking about a completely different outcome, and then different religions, different backgrounds, to to misread the room is the biggest fallacy here, not just you know, the cakewalk, but to misread uh antagonisms and uh the cultural differences, uh all that stuff. First world nation status, uh everything. That's part of the fallacy and part of the um the arrogance. Then it says then there comes the blowback and the unintended consequences, as we heard uh Tommy Blair apologize. Yet these neocons always make the same mistake. While not a named syndrome per se, intelligence agencies like the CAA use the term blowback to describe this exact phenomenon. The syndrome is the belief that the populace sees the intervening power as the liberator. The reality is usually blowback. The population views the intervening power as the occupier, leading to insurgency, guerrilla warfare, and long-term instability that is far worse than the original situation under the quote, evil leader. There is the risk of the socialist or Marxist interpretation and exploitation of the invasion. In critical theory, this is described as imperial arrogance. Vanguardism applied to foreign policy, it is the belief that a foreign power knows what is best for a sovereign nation's population better than they know themselves. That is the arrogance, isn't it? Consequently, the delusional neocon dream never happens. The reason this syndrome consistently fails from Napoleon's invasion of Spain to the U.S. invasion of Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan is due to three immutable factors. Nationalism. Foreign military intervention is the single strongest catalyst for national sentiment. A population may despise their dictator, but they'll often despise a foreign soldier occupying their capital even more. Security dilemma. When a foreign power removes a leader, they become responsible for the security, economy, and infrastructure of that country. The cheering turns to resentment the first time the power grid fails. And then the debathification analogy: removing the leader often requires dismantling the entire state apparatus, military bureaucracy, that kept the country stable in the first place. When the evil leader is gone, the state collapses into fractional violence. Well, I think we've all, I mean, if you know anything about history, you know that's absolutely true. And when you remove somebody like Saddam Hussein, you don't get rid of just one monster, you create 10,000 more. And you know how many suicide bombings there were in the history of Iraq before the U.S. invasion? Zero. And Saddam Hussein, if you take the totality of civilians and soldiers, it's about a million Iranians that he killed. And he was Sunni versus Shia. And there was no suicide bombers. That did not animate one suicide bomber, plus all of the crackdowns that he did, with our help, by the way, because we gave him weapons and help with intelligence and all that, all that stuff. I mean, give me a break. I mean, the Sean Hannades of the world are so stupid. Like you have uh Ron Paul schooling him in 2008. I'll never I watched that live by the was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. And Hannity said, Well, Saddam gassed his own people, and they're about to go to a break. And Ron Paul said, Yeah, we gave him the gas. And it just goes blank faced and then it goes to commercial. It's one of the funniest things, you know. You dig down deep enough, you find, you know, our involvement. But Saddam killed that many Iranians, and there was not one single suicide bomb until we showed up. And then they were all the time. I'm sure we have some indirect funding, and Israel funds ISIS, clearly. I mean, we saw the other fingerprints all up. We certainly were threatening to shoot down uh Russian aircraft who were trying to bomb ISIS in Al-Qaeda and Syria. I think this is pretty well known. I mean, you create this usable enemy. Maybe they don't know they're being used, but we do use them. Al Qaeda means the database. I mean, you can really peel the layers back here. That happened in Iraq. I mean, the the change. And by the way, you get the not only you get the 10,000 monsters to replace the one, but you get the loss of history. Like the think of all of the old some of the oldest sites in Christendom and my uh churches bombed, blown up, uh entire uh families erased. Lineages burned, destroyed, upended. You know, they were literally just taking all those Toyota pickups and all the weapons they got from all the stuff that we were funding in Syria, because we got to take out Assad, right? Remember Lindsey Graham? He said, We got to get over there. We got to put 200,000 troops in. If they don't, they're gonna kill us all. That's what he said in 2012. I remember 2013, whenever it was. It was uh he was crying about it, especially when he was running for president. He was crying about we got to get at least 200,000 American troops into Syria so Israel can have, you know, Operation Chaos. Because Lindsey Graham is uh an agent for not only the military industrial complex, but he's an agent of a foreign nation. I mean, clearly. And he's in love with war. You know, Lady G. Lady G loves war. We should get him some, maybe we start like a line. Lady G.shop. Should we get like a new website? We could sell merch. I saw somebody, what was it? I think it was Tucker Carlson, like neocons are gay. Yeah, and even worse than that, like there, there's something very, very wrong, like a mental disorder. Uh probably the most one of the most evil ideology. I mean, Satanists, at least they're kind of funny and goofy, you know. They you can see they pop up a light on television, they're always trying to put a Baphomet statue in it in a government building or something, you know, and they're kind of caricatures and they dress like that's they're not really that harmful. They're just kind of goofy. But the people that wear the suits and ties, you know, they get all this funding. You can see it in their eyes. If you've ever been in a room, I have, by the way. Been in a room with them, you know, like uh I gave a talk once at the Capitol Grill right next to the Sam Rayburn building in Washington, D.C. And uh I actually followed Ted Cruz. They called us up together. I I spoke just after Ted. And uh it was great. I had to honor uh Congressman Ralph Hall, but you could you you could just you're in a room full of the senators and lobbyists and generals and military people, and yeah. I mean, not everybody's the same, but there is uh there's a certain mood there. You can kind of you can just tell. I'm sure it's gotten worse, by the way. Like I would not I would not want to be in Washington um for any reason. I flew in uh was it last year? I was gonna do a conference out of Virginia, and it's just the vibe. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to that. I was glad to get home, even from going to to London. Like I enjoyed seeing the Ike's and uh seeing the folks over at Iconic, but I I wanted to get home. It's just not my country. All right. Uh yes, Tuck Tucker's merch is is fire. All right, we got uh a little bit of time left. Lots of stuff happening on the uh the Iran war uh and the Strait of Horror moves, folks. Gonna pay attention to that. I would are already anticipate, you know, this is I'd start future planning for uh energy prices to continue to go up and for supply chains to continue to erode, unfortunately, given our current data. And um there's a sale on gold and silver across the board right now because the markets are irrational and um it hasn't been going up and to the right. I think a lot of things are some is like I talked about earlier, some is liquidity, and other parts of it are just a misunderstanding of where currencies are going to go. All right, let's uh let's jump into this real quick. This is natural news. I'll see how much more I can cover. Yeah, it hits a little close to home here. Uh reports indicate 3,000 U.S. soldiers from 82nd Airborne to deploy to Middle East. Uh, this is by Garrison Vance over at Natural News. Approximately 3,000 soldiers from the U.S. Army's elite 82nd Airborne are reportedly being prepared for deployment to the Middle East. This move is connected to escalating regional tensions involving Iran. Despite the potential deployment, uh reportedly confirmed by military sources speaking to outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and Fox News. According to these reports, a written deployment order for a brigade combat team is expected to be issued immediately. The reported deployment involves elements of the 82nd Airborne based out of, they say Fort Liberty. That's not the name, it's Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The division is designated as the U.S. military's immediate response force capable of rapid global deployment. Officials speaking anonymously stated that a brigade-sized element, typically consisting of roughly 3,000 personnel, is being readied for movement. And believe me, I've trained with these guys and I've been, I lived at Fort Bragg for five years. They they're gonna they're ready to go. They're ready to go. And uh you'll you can misuse them. They are, you know, for a war that doesn't have to be fought is one of the reasons you could you know misuse the 82nd Airborne. Preparations and movement orders were reportedly issued in recent days, according to a report from the Intercept. Commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, Major Brandon Tegmir, and his headquarters staff have already been ordered to the Middle East. The 82nd Airborne Division is maintained as the US military's primary rapid response force for global contingencies. Yes, I'm just skipping around here because I want to see if there's uh well clearly we would be using them, I would assume, in some sort of way to continue the operations of uh supplies running through the Strait of Hormuz. But you never know. While specific deployment details and the exact mission set remain unconfirmed by the war department, multiple reports from various atlets indicate a significant troop movement is underway. Further official announcements are expected in the coming days, according to officials familiar with the planning. Well, we shall see. So much for that. Uh remember all the rhetoric that Trump had against the stupid wars and Middle East, and we got nothing for it. Seems like uh a long time ago, uh, we had a I think once in a generational chance to do something for the country. And uh it's funny, somebody put out a meme. It was like never Trumpers in 2016, it was like uh Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin and I think a few others, and then it says the same people it's just as MAGA in 2026. Uh you got you got uh absorbed, folks. You got absorbed. Uh let's see. Yeah, so I'm looking at the comments. Sorry, I didn't get to all the the comments today. I was trying to get to as many articles as I could. Says Tony, I noticed your pen and I have uh one from the 82nd Airborne, my cousin. Yeah, I'm wearing my paratrooper wings. A paratrooper wings. Yeah, don't forget you have a paratroothers are out. My paratrooper wings are I'm wearing my airborne wings today. All right. Let me uh get over to the last article of the day, and then we'll do some gold and silver prices. All right, and this is antiwar.com. Iran rejects U.S. proposal to end war, lays out its own conditions. Iran's press TV reported on Wednesday that Tehran has rejected the Trump administration's 15-point proposal to end the war that the U.S. and Israel launched on February 28th and laid out its own conditions to end the conflict. Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met. Yeah, it doesn't seem like they're uh hurting just yet. Like they um they weren't galvanized uh against their own regime, and I don't think that's going to change. Uh just like the the fallacy of removing the leader as we just talked about through Martin Armstrong's conclusion. The official speaking on Press TV said Iran laid out five conditions to end the war, which include a complete halt to aggression and assassinations by the enemy, the establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic, guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations. Ooh, man. Can you imagine? Can you imagine uh Israel having to take its uh foreign aid and repurpose it and give it to Iran? I don't think that's gonna happen. That's that's theirs that we give them. Uh the end of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region. And Iran's exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and will remain Iran's natural and legal right, and it constitutes a guarantee for the implementation of other parties' commitments and must be recognized. Well, uh none of that will be met, obviously. And um or maybe just by default. And that's the thing, is a lot of this uh as I said earlier, I think uh if you wanted to re-reverse engineer an energy crisis, if you wanted to usher in and accelerate the fourth turning, this is how you would do it. If you wanted to uh usher in not only an energy crisis but a currency crisis, this is how you would do it. Right? If you wanted to pick the the way that you would single-handedly usher in a collapse of the current standing of the American Empire, if you want to do a controlled demolition of everything we've built, you'd start with this, wouldn't you? So I'll leave you with that. And it's it's uh uh what is uh Shakespeare said all the all the world's a stage, right? And uh there's so much to that. Uh gotta figure out where where the acting starts and where the pageant begins and where reality meets, and vice versa. All right. After this, I've got to go give a talk to the Rotary Club here. I was signed on for that and a few weeks ago, and I looked up and I oh I I have that on my agenda. I think I'm gonna change change it up, and I think I'm gonna go into uh some of the hidden history on the uh just like we did on the I think it was Paratrouther, like episode 38 that we just did, uh, Mr. Anderson and I on uh hidden history of Iran uh and the U.S. relations going back to the late 1940s, and um, because we have you know Condolisa Rice um going around and saying that Iran's been an enemy for 47 years. Hmm. It started 47 years ago, and then all these different things that you took breaks from, like, you know, um selling them weapons and uh trading weapons for hostages, and um, that's Iran Contra, you know, and uh and you also have the this October surprise when you look and uh get the Reagan team trying to get them to hold hostages just for a little bit longer, you know, till after the election. And the day Reagan takes office, they let him go. You know, stuff like that. All right, let's uh let's look into gold and silver. Gold's down again today. Um, but that's okay. And you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna place some orders because I can get some more inventory. 4,390 Luciferian bankster notes make a troy ounce of gold, 4,390 uh Federal Reserve notes, fiat dollars, silver on sale as well, 6782, uh 67.82 Luciferian bankster notes.
