SPEAKER_03That was the test. I was going to see, is the audio going to play on my laptop? This is always the big question. And every week I say I'm going to fix it. I'm going to do something. I'm going to upgrade the system. And then the week becomes the previous week, and then I'm there. And it's Thursday. And it's the Arterburn Radio Transmission. And we are live going out across the globe on WWCR as well as the technocratically approved platforms, at least for now, while we're allowed over on uh YouTube, but we're on Rumble on the America Unplugged channel. It is the 9th of April 2026. I have to remind myself what year it is. I'm joined in studio by Beans the Brave, who is my co-pilot and co-host. She's going to keep us safe from woodland creatures, bad vibes, intruders, anything that would disrupt the show. I've got uh the crew here in Branson. It is uh a beautiful day here in the Ozarks, and we're gonna tackle a bit of the dystopia. I mean, did you think that you'd live long enough or the simulation would unravel enough to where the president of the United States would be standing next to an Easter bunny uh talking about the end of another civilization? I don't know. I I didn't have that one on my bingo card. And my mind's pretty out there, you know. I I would say I I have a very unconventional mind. Uh, that's the reason I have this show. I mean, this you guys are my support group, and uh I show up with the chaos of my brain every week. And I originally put in, you know, taglines like Welcome to Tomorrow back in 2018 when I relaunched this show when I came back into radio and we were talking about the future. I was talking about the great reset in 2019, long before COVID-1984, and we delve into some weird spaces. But folks, this is, I mean, truly, and you're watching uh it's not only the end of an era, it's the end of something, right? And I mean, like an experiment or the culmination of bad ideas. I was talking to my friend Clint, who's been uh well, not just a friend, but a supporter of the show for many years, and I he actually helped me edit the uh David Icke interview and uh the Richard Willett interview that I did over at Iconic, and we're gonna be releasing that here in the next uh 48 hours or so. But I was talking to him, we're just he knows all about uh the what we've covered in the past uh eight years on this program, and I just said it reminds me of a song uh when I was a kid, 1997, uh the Rollins band, Henry Rollins, you know, and he was uh the lead singer for Black Flag. He's just a built guy, he likes to lift weights, but he's also a poet. He does spoken word. And I don't know why this just came to my mind, but I want to read you the lyrics. And and this is this is about the end of the American Empire, it's the end of the petrodollar, it's the end of like this illusion uh that we live in a fair society, or that uh that that the people who govern us are sane, logical players. I mean, I think we can finally like the veneer is off, and we've always had psychopaths and you know, self-serving, sociopathic, uh narcissists. We've always had that. But it's just that the the veneer and the all of the customs around what you're supposed to do to act like you're not truly a power hungry psycho, that's all fallen away. And they just show us who they really are. And you know, we have sprinklings of it's funny because there's 300 plus 350 million plus whatever Americans and uh the vast majority are just probably really good people with good hearts that want to help others, and and and society, it shows us, you know, the way that humans work, the way that this whole system is set up, or those who are willing to do just about anything, like Lyndon Johnson said, uh, if we do everything, we win, you know, like and he did. He did everything, you know, lie, cheat, steal, uh, disappear people. Like they did it all. Like, if we do everything, we'll win. Well, he sure did. And that system that they built post-JFK, uh, which is really starting with Johnson taking the silver out of the coinage, going off the gold standard, creating the petrodollar, you know, uh having all of the peace dividends, just oh, just saying to hell with that, you know, we throw that away. We don't need to worry about having any sort of peace, because war is the health of the state, and we got to get healthy, like an addict has to take another hit. So here's here's the lyrics for the end of something. I don't know why this came to my mind, but this is uh this is after talking to Clint. When the tears from your eyes that you cried have dried, and there's nothing left to say, when you see that the time we spent together meant nothing, and you couldn't make me stay. Remember me and my eyes and how they saw you. Remember me and my voice and what I said. It's over, and now there's nothing. It's the end, the end of something. And I think Gard Goldsmith will appreciate that little that little interlude. Uh, my friend Gard, uh, Liberty Conspiracy. Go check him out. Yeah, this is and we'll cover some of this today. There's not an ounce of fat on this show. I actually got some hidden history. We're gonna go into an article from uh Judge Napolitano. I want to talk about the a little bit more about the petrodoll. We'll probably do that first. Some stuff going on with the French. It's like a follow-up from the 1960s. We'll talk a little bit about that and then uh see what else we can get through. I've there's a short little snippet from uh iconic, uh, my friend Richard Willett over there had a funny headline. We'll get into that. But I was supposed to go on the David Knight show this morning, and I yesterday um my dad's been in the hospital, uh Tony Sr. for the past um since Monday, so past few days. And he had an issue yesterday. Uh, it was pretty serious, and I'm in Branson, so I had to make a decision based off his condition, you know, whether or not I was gonna uh leave. And so I told David, just put that, you know, on a table, that, and we'll I'll probably be back next week. So most likely we'll see David night next week. But uh from what I understand, my dad is is okay. Uh he's he's recovering, at least that's what uh I'm praying for. And uh, you know, just whenever you have that kind of stuff happen to your parents. And I, you know, I lost my grandfather, Morris, when I was really young. I was fifteen and he was uh uh sixty one. And of course that's my dad's dad. And so it makes you think about stuff like that. And I hope um that my dad he liked my last show last week and uh sent me a really nice text and uh I appreciate his support. I hope I get to uh he get hope he gets to listen to this and that uh we get to discuss this show. But I was thinking about him actually we had a it's interesting, I had a dream last night about he and I in Sofia, Bulgaria, and he was with me uh on 9-11. And of course I'd already done a tour, I already done my first foreign war. So I this was, you know, I joined the army in '99, went to Kosovo, and uh came back. And so this was going into you know 2000, 2001, and the colonel who was in charge of the battalion said, Artiburn, uh, we know about your background, you know, you held a world record in powerlifting, you were state champ and all this stuff. He's like, just go power lift uh for the army and uh we'll sponsor you. So I said, yeah, basically what sponsor meant was we'll just let you go do it. And so I did, and I went and won nationals, and so I was on the American team, and we were I you know asked my dad, I was like, go over to Bulgaria with me, that's where the world championships is. And so we got there on September 10th, 2001, and we stayed at this hotel called the Hotel Hamas, and uh uh this is the craziest time, and it's like the whatever, and I I think in history, right? This way my mind works, it's like uh it's not really linear either. It's it's like in streams of time is the way that my mind works. And that was like a bifurcation point, like everything past that point. So I was just 21. I was starting to somewhat figure things out, and I'd you know had a very unconventional life as a kid, very intense. You know, that's the thing is like you you don't win you can being completely natural and you know not ever taking any performance-enhancing drugs, you don't set world records and stuff by being passive or just go with the flow or be happy, you know. I I never I was very intense, and um I don't know if you could tell. Um I've much I've mellowed a lot, uh a great deal, but I was very intense. And so I was on the American team, and it's a long story, but you know, the next day uh was 9-11. I mean, we got there, and uh one of the things that I this was uh part of my dream, but we we gotten a couple of DVDs on the way. I said, watch a movie with me. And I said, I need you to see this movie, it's called Fight Club. And I was 21. I'm like, you gotta see you gotta see this this movie, Dad. It's really good. I go, there's philosophy in it, and it's it's kind of mind-bending, you know. And I I just really loved it. And so we're and I swear my hand to God, we're watching the the movie, and at the end of the movie, you know, he he resets everything. And uh uh he says, This is this is it, this is ground zero. And he's gonna say, I'm gonna turn the clock back on everything, and it's everybody's debts, he's gonna erase all this consumerism and everything. And so he does this, you know, the scene happens and the the buildings come down. It's controlled demolition. And so I just close the laptop and I go and turn on the television, CNN International, and the first plane had hit the World Trade Center, the first plane. And so we were just watching the smoke and it was billowing, and uh, you know, my dad and I are just looking at each other, I'm like, that's that's not an accident. And then all of a sudden we see the second one hit, and we just looked at each other, and I just knew whatever that was, that shift in the energy, and I don't I've always been able to pick up on stuff just subtly and not even maybe not even articulate it, but that shift happened, and I could just feel it. And I mean nothing was ever the same after that. We but it was it was like I'd close this chapter of my youth, whatever I whatever that was, which is very brief, by the way. And then, you know, nobody else on the American team that was represented, they're all from colleges and stuff, and I'm this paratrooper from Bragg, and uh nobody else had to face the consequences of that. But it was interesting because I happened to be in Bulgaria, and my unit that I was with, they all immediately deployed to the Pentagon. So, you know, on another in another dimension, and it's funny because I I shouldn't that that national championship, it was a it was a near-run thing. Like uh, you know, I was still having to be a soldier and all that stuff. So it wasn't my training wasn't exactly great, but I still won. I inched it. I had to pull a deadlift and the other guy had to miss his. So it was like a just a chance thing. But the unit I was with, they immediately went to the Pentagon to secure it. So I would have been able to tell you, hey, there was no plane parts, or you know, just all the I mean, I that was close-up for you know, everything that was happening on that television would affect me directly. Like, so I ended up being part of the unit who actually went first into Afghanistan. So that was like the immediate orders, everything changed. I went back down to the line unit. But the dream I had last night was us going around Bulgaria trying to find uh my uh a belt for me to do deadlifts with. And uh what's funny is I saw this meme the other day, and it and it made me think it was like uh if if you notice in your dreams you never have your phone or you never look at your phone, and the phone's not in your dream. And I thought, wow, I can't remember a dream where my phone's in it. And this was the same thing for last night. And when I was when I was dreaming about uh me and dad in in Bulgaria, and um so anyway, I didn't have my phone. Uh I don't I don't think I got back to the competition. Uh I don't think I'd have done well against my you know 21-year-old self. Uh and there was a whole backstory to that on uh some politics with the uh with the World Power Lifting Federation and all the stuff with what they were trying to do back then. But interesting, interesting things to think about. All right. That's just a stream of consciousness a little bit for you, and uh your prayers for my dad would be greatly appreciated. And uh I'm never it's funny, I'm I'm a junior and uh you never quite live up to your dad, you know. Uh that's why I went my own way. Because no, I I couldn't compete with him on uh not that you always got to compete with your dad, but you want to set it, he sets a standard, you gotta try to follow the standard. The guy was is uh just the hardest working person I've ever met in my life. And that's who I said. I mean, I've been around the world and I've been in the military, and I've met, you know, crazy people who wanted to achieve their goals, but nothing quite like my dad. It's it's something next level, and you don't really quite reach that. So that's why I went in the military. I can't compete with him on the entrepreneurial stuff either. You know, it kind of seems like I do, right? But no, no, no. No, this is something like it's another level of what he's able to achieve. And uh there's lots of stories. You know, we'll save him for another time to give you uh Tony's senior stories. Maybe we'll have him on sometime. There's stuff he doesn't like to talk about, but he he does like the show, so I'll just uh uh keep him in my prayers. We'll we'll get him on the show soon then. All right. Uh let's jump into some headlines. First things first, and I I'll try to get to the comments today, folks. I really appreciate you. Uh I know that uh I jump around a lot on the show, but that's what it's kind of for. It's this hodgepodge of uh stream of consciousness, uh parapolitics, precious metals. Let's let's go to the first story. Uh yeah, this is kind of the in the the vein of the end of something. Put this up on the screen. I saw that StreamYard updated and they allow you to do some more fancy stuff now, but uh I still haven't grasped that. I'm I'm still analog, folks, in the digital space. This is Bitcoin magazine. And no surprise here, Iran to accept Bitcoin for Strait of Hormuz transit as ceasefire takes hold. Well, until the Israelis uh screw it up as always. Uh Iran plans to charge ships Bitcoin tolls to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, tying the crypto cryptocurrency to key global energy checkpoints. I got a text from my friend Charlie Robinson. He's like, hey, what about the petro Bitcoin? I said, I think I think you're onto something, my friend. Iran plans to require shipping companies to pay transit tolls in Bitcoin for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormouth, according to the Financial Times report. This links Bitcoin to one of the world's most critical energy corridors and current events. The policy would apply to oil tankers seeking passage during a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States. And uh this arrangement aims to reopen a route that handles a large share of global oil flows while allowing Tehran to maintain control over access. According to statements attributed to Iranian officials, shipping firms would receive a payment request prior to transit. Once approved, vessels would be given a short window to complete the transaction in Bitcoin. The structure reflects an attempt to bypass traditional financial rails that remain constrained by sanctions while preserving a mechanism for enforcement over passage. This move places uh Bitcoin at the center of a geopolitical flashpoint. And of course, it talks about Iran has faced restrictions on dollar-based settlements for years, limiting the ability to collect fees or process payments. Well, yeah, uh this is a direct consequence of call it a control demolition, uh, call it an inside job, call it malice, call it stupidity. I mean, the result is the same. And you can choose, maybe it's a mixture of all of them, but we weaponized the dollar and it blew up in our face. We got arrogant and said, uh, you do what we say, or you can't use our currency anymore. Well, the reason that we were able to say, do what we say, the reason that we had the big stick was because we had the world's reserve currency, but you lose the world's reserve currency when people stop using it. So, you know, again, call it what you want. Was James Forrestall right when he told Joe McCarthy that maybe they're uh he said if they're just stupid, then every once in a while they would err in our favor, but they never do. That's how you know it's a conspiracy. They never error in our favor, they never make a stupid decision that benefits us. It's just always this bloated, misinformed, or uh again, packed full of malice, stupidity, ridiculous decision when it comes from the governing mechanism of this country, whatever this is. But they blew it. I mean you think of this, uh you know, the dynamic of us and what's happening right now with with Israel, and if you look at the world stage, it's kind of like a family business where uh you you've got one of the little brothers or something, they went, they they got a fancy degree and uh they think they're really smart, or they are all wanting the attention, and they get to uh control what all the the company does, right? Where all the resources go. And I've seen this before in family businesses. And then you know, you have the older people going, wait a minute, don't do that. We we're wasting all these resources. We could have built this, we could do this, we got uh all these ideas. Why are you wasting it on all this this project that is just a a black hole? You know, what do you got to say? Sunk cost fallacy, that's what this is. And it's beyond that. I mean, it's a there's a darkness in what you know the dispensationalists and the end of the worlders and the you know the the end time industrial complex people like they want to bring in the AI antichrist and summon Mashiach, and then all of a sudden they oh well maybe Jesus will come back, and if not, we'll at least have the the Antichrist AI surveillance control grid out of the third temple. I mean, they're nuts, right? And that's what they're spending money on. We blew it. Like think, think of everything we could have built. Think of the the the once in multi-generational chance we had to do that, and it's just obliterated. I mean, does God forgive? I mean, God forgives you, but I mean, history won't. Literally blew it. Like you think of all the deals around the world we could be doing right now. Think of the supply chains, think of the infrastructure, think of think of the wealth we could could create. We could shock the system. We could literally change the world, and instead, we have this. You know, we have uh the absolutely insane people. You have the the technocracy, you have the the Christian Zionists, you have the actual Zionists, you have the military-industrial complex people who have something wrong with them. I mean, they they just love war so much. They all they know how to do is destroy. And I think it maybe it's some Freudian thing about sexual intimacy or impotency or whatever it is. Like they can't make anything. So they just have to destroy. Like, it's like if it's like the a school shooter. Like, we have school shooters now that run everything, like just kids that it would that didn't get along, or they were too weak of an a bitch to like actually make any friends. So they just got to take it out on everybody who was able to do that. That's what I think, right? Is it is it as simple as we have a school shooter ruling class? Is that what we have? They just ruined everything. Me and the and 10 random people from the phone book could run a better economy. Random people, just pick them out random, you know. It doesn't even matter, like the last names, just pick them out. We could sit around at a table and go, hey, how you know we make some more uh prosperity and how do we create incentives for people to go out and buy things and build things? And oh, I have some ideas. Yeah, ideas, that'd be great. And you can create because average people can't. That's what the ruling class can't do. You know, that's why they hoard all this stuff, right? It's like my conversation I had with David Icke. I was like, what is gold? You can go check it in the interview because we have that's the question I asked him at the end. And it's an energy, so it it's there's something about it. We we collect it, and and that's what it doesn't mean that you have to worship it or that you shouldn't covet in wealth at all. Uh should covet character, you should covet results. Uh, but that's why the these they have these storage houses and they just keep hoarding stuff, and whether it's assets or gold or markets or whatever, they can't make anything. They can't really make stuff. They just know how to get you get separate what you've done and your energy away from you. And that's why we have the world that we have today. Think of how unimaginative the people at the top are. I mean, all they can think about is how do we control people? How do we put them in an AI grid? How do we how do we monitor everything they do? How do we put shots and genetic code injections in them? I mean, they don't. Have you have you wondered that? How do we get less people? Yeah, they don't want to be creative, you don't want to make anything, you don't want to create a solution like the like or for water, for example. Like, oh well, you want to have some desalinization technology, really ramp that up so the world doesn't have to go without fresh drinking water. Oh no, let's bomb Iran.
unknownOh, okay.
France Pulls Gold From New York
Live Chat Pulse And Israel Skepticism
SPEAKER_03And we'll get uh Pete Heggseth involved, you know. This is the best we can do, I guess. All right, so uh second part of the financial news talk about the end of something. Let me put this up on this is natural news. All right, one second. Laptops always fun to work off of. I say that facetiously, but it still works. This is natural news. France completes withdrawal of gold holdings from New York Federal Reserve. Where have I seen this before? Uh Sterling Ashworth wrote this article. France completes withdrawal of gold holdings from New York Federal Reserve. The French Treasury has confirmed the completion of a multi-year operation to repatriate all of its gold reserves held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The move, finalized in the first quarter of 2026, marks the end of France's long-standing practice of storing a portion of its southern wealth offshore. According to an official statement, the transaction was part of a long-planned strategic decision for asset management. Analysts described the action as part of a broader accelerating trend among national central banks to move physical gold back to its domestic soil. Well, just a break here in the article. 1967, the president of France, de Gaulle, if you know anything about Charles de Gaulle, he sent over his warships to pick it up. This is before we went off the gold standard. And the reason is because, well, one, we've broken the Breton Woods Agreement, 1944, the new economic world order, the IMF, the World Bank, the dollar is the world's reserve currency, gold at$35 an ounce. All that sounded good, right? This was the new, but the problem is we had to expand the state. We had to prop up the empire. We we had an ever-expanding empire. You had the Cold War, you had the space race or whatever. You had to you had to fund weird projects like you know, taking out a president in at Dealy Plaza. You know, you gotta be able to cover that up, too. That costs money. You know, you gotta find a patsy, you gotta get rid of that patsy, you gotta get rid of the guy who got rid of the patsy. I mean, it just costs that up, folks. And then you take out the silver out of the coins and people take notice. So we took the silver out of the coins, and that's how you know, clipping coins, uh, debasing currency. It's the a tale as old as time. That's what empires do. It's what you know, the zenith, the apex, you've got the all the you gotta control all your subjects and all of your realm, and they all want something, and then, you know, you're too busy to think things through. Then you got the same kind of people rise to the top. That that is the that is kind of the conundrum, isn't it? Like you get uh you amass this this empire and it attracts all the sociopaths and narcissists, it attracts all of the people who can't create. They just know how to destroy people. They can Machiavelli, they can backbiter, you know, they can maneuver their way in. You know, they can tell people what they want to hear. Kind of like Lindsey Graham, you know. He can tell you what you if you go to Disneyland with them or Disney World, he'll tell you what you want to hear. He can yeah, hand you uh the princess wand and I should I should probably stop. He can tell you his safe word, which I think is APAC. But that's uh the tale as old as time, isn't it? We uh we took part in that. It's funny, I keep getting notices too. The laptop's fun. You put the anti-virus software on it. It's gives me every article. It's just 500 different warnings. But uh yeah, thanks for that. Official confirmations and transaction details of the Bank of France issued a detailed statement last week confirming the transfer's completion. No specific dollar amount of the transferred gold was disclosed in the initial public announcement. However, subsequent reports indicate the bank uh realized a capital gain of approximately 12.8 billion. Well, this has been a trend for many years. And if you go back, just to give you a little bit of insight, uh, if you go back to 2009 and look at the charts, and uh yours truly has. Prior to that, the central bank gold buying, like gold accumulation, was uh it wasn't zero, but it was damn close. Okay, so prior to 2009, people just bought, you know, countries use treasuries. Um, by the way, uh just a just a side note before I forget it, uh, gold surpassed treasuries too. Not just the dollar, but it surpassed treasury holdings uh last week for held reserve assets by central banks. Uh that's see, that's that's part of the the decline. It's part of the disintegration of the current monetary order that you should pay attention to. And it's beyond the Iran war or you know, uh our war for Israel or whatever the hell this is. It's beyond any of that. Like this is and it probably has something to do with it. You would probably you would be right in asking, well, how does this help? I I agree with that. But but you have um you have the end of the petrodollar, the treasuries surpassed uh or gold surpassed treasuries. So all of this is happening. If you go back to 2009, that was the first time that the uptick happened. Like so after 2009, countries started buying gold. And I mean physical gold, not contracts. And this started to accelerate, accelerate, accelerate after we did the bailouts and everything happened with the the great financial uh recession uh back in 2009. So interesting to watch that progression if you go back and look at the charts, folks. It is an interesting part of history. And now it's gold all the way. And more of this repatriation will happen. France's completed withdrawal highlights an ongoing uh global debate about monetary sovereignty and the foundational role of physical assets in the digital aids. Experts predict that more nations may review their offshore gold holdings in the coming years, especially as geopolitical tensions and concerns over currency stability persist. The long-term impact of international gold custody arrangements, particularly the role of the New York Fed as the global depository, remains to be seen. Well, you know, folks, uh also you have the uh Shanghai gold exchange that's being constructed, along with storage facilities for physical gold. Uh you have the Hong Kong gold exchange uh for physical gold. So China, two of those realms, the gold moving east, all of that stuff, that needs to be paid attention to. This is part of the breakaway from the dollar system that we have accelerated. Like there was no need to be on this timeline unless it's part of uh again on purpose. Like what the only way to get here is to be this stupid on purpose. Like you, I mean, there's no upside for what we're how we're handling ourselves in the world. We could have just done deals. We could have figured out ways to open supply chains, we could have figured out a way to enrich the American people. You know, it's kind of like the the head fake of what Doge was supposed to be. Like, let's just look at every transaction. You don't think I do that? Um if you're running something, don't you have to look at every single thing? What is the what's the expense here? What's the overage here? What do I need to take care of? Any sane entity does that, right? Except if you can just print it, which is what they're gonna do. Like if you've got control, if you've got a counterfeit printing press that you control the law and you're the chief law enforcement officer, I guess you can just use the printing press, and that's what they're going to do. So you don't have to be a genius to figure out that things like gold, silver, bitcoin, you know, GSB. GSB's gonna do fine. It's uh it's competing against infinite. What is what does limited against infinite do? What is where does that battle end up in an economic sense? Which one is worth more? Infinite or limited? I mean, you again, you don't have to be like, wow, you know, Tony, so that's very smart, it's very astute. I mean, you you can just basic math this thing. It's not it's not a revelation. And it's gonna be weird, you know, like you go look at uh articles, and I've been tracking this. A lot of people are stuck in in uh a broken paradigm because they're talking about, well, this is like the 70s. No, it's not. It's not like anytime. You know, it took us 200 years to go a trillion dollars in debt. And now we do it every 90 days. Hell, we'll do it every 30 days soon. I don't know. Is anybody even watching the thing anymore? Like we used to talk about that. We used to talk about fiscal responsibility, we used to talk about the deficit. Nobody talks about that anymore except gold bugs. Both parties agree war is good. Welfare state is good. Let's open up our borders. I mean, yeah, we'll have the we'll try to do some things to divide the country, like do ice raids in Minnesota. You know, we'll try to do that. We'll make sure we piss off everybody, keep them at each other's throats. We're not gonna actually do anything about the border, though. Yeah, I you know, you you still think those fatigued cartel members are I've seen video of them. You know, just think that those are still snaking around the border down there, moving large supply. Of course they are. We've done nothing about that. We've done everything to inflame the populace. Arrest some grandmas and stuff, you know. There's some hardcore people that are here in this country, and the people that move back and forth, you know, and that's what that's what our answer was. So again, you know, I this is where my mind goes, we have blew it in so many ways, right? Uh took our eye off the ball. We're losing dollar supremacy, we're losing everything when it meant to be a country and we're doing it uh for what's the cost of this war going to be? I don't think we've even seen the beginning of it. All right. I'm going to go to the comments really quick, make sure I talk to people because that's something I haven't done in a while. I don't think we went to the comments last week, but I appreciate you being here. Let's see, we've got uh Bronx Stopper 111 in the comments over at uh YouTube, uh Razor 1967. Good morning, everyone. Greetings from Texas. Good to see you. I'm glad. I hope Texas is doing great. I I think I'll go back tomorrow, maybe.
SPEAKER_02We'll see.
Napolitano On War And Due Process
Automatic Draft Registration Returns
SPEAKER_03Richard Nagel says, uh NASA, another satanic lie. Yeah, never a straight answer over there at NASA. Somebody said that are they gonna take why can't they just take the shot of where the flag is on the moon? You can go, you know. Maybe Buzz Aldrin, you could go you just gotta maybe you could get a magnet and get those uh silver dimes off the moon that he left up there. You know there's a Masonic Lodge on the moon. I mean well probably a real one. They have uh you can join the you can join the lunar lodge. I think it's called Tranquility, it's Tranquility Lodge. That's what it that's something Buzz Aldrin supposedly set up. Alright, uh let me go over to Rumble really quick. Yeah, junkyards over on live chat and rumble and uh what word spell. I've never seen what word spell. That's uh that's interesting. You know, words are magic. That's why they call it spelling. Uh stykin 420. Yeah, Israel has already attacked Lebanon yesterday. Yeah, I'm gonna get into that a little bit. At least I try to on this episode. Yeah, it didn't last very long. Like, we have some peace, you know, and they have to. That's the first thing. I thought when they're like, oh, there's missiles headed towards Tel Aviv. I'm like, they just fired on themselves. That's that's my trust level of this foreign nation state that for some reason just keeps showing up in my politics. Like, you just would you get out of my politics? And this is not, you're not. I I have nothing to do with you except all these, you know. I know the demographic. I hope that it it is break. I think everything's breaking away. There's an article I need to get to on antiwar.com that uh it is getting to the point where it you just you can't even have tolerance, like the tolerance you have level I have for this like horseshit is just zero. I'm like, I can't believe we're doing this. I just can't believe it. I knew that it was bad, but I didn't know it was this bad. Like, I mean, is it completely hijacked? Do we have no say at all at this point? Um perhaps that's the perhaps that's the case, folks. All right, let's uh let's do this last article and then uh a couple of follow-ups. There's one from Judge Napolitano over on LouRockwell.com just to make you think a little bit, not sometimes thinking is the hardest job of all. That's why so few people do it, said Henry Ford. But we'll uh we'll do some thinking together. This is killing and indifference is personal freedom a reality or a myth? Does the government execute the will of the governed or the will of those who finance its officials? Does the Bill of Rights restrain the government? Are the levers of government power pulled by those the governed have elected or those we don't see? Do elections change anything? Can the president kill people whom he suspects might commit a crime? Aren't even those who would cause great harm entitled to due process? Isn't everyone entitled to a fair trial in front of a neutral judge and a jury before any punishment can be administered? Aren't all persons legally innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and a moral certainty? Isn't the presumption of innocence the linchpin of American jurisprudence? At trial and before punishment, isn't the government's obligation to prove every element of the crimes charged? Isn't there such a thing in American jurisprudence as presumption of guilt? Aren't punishments prescribed by law? Can the president make up a punishment and direct the military to administer it to folks he thinks are probably guilty or criminal behavior? Can federal officials perform unlawful acts with impunity just because they are ordered to do so by the president? Is probably guilty a sufficient legal standard for punishment? In war, can the combatants morally target civilians and their structures? Is war waged against the people of a given country or against the government and military assets? What happened? What happens when there is killing without consequence? Which is worse? A president who kills whomever he wishes or a Congress that funds the killing and is indifferent to the moral, constitutional, and legal consequences? Can the president morally bomb civilians into the Stone Age in a country where the civilian population has little control over the government? Will kill or ruin large numbers of civilians whose liberations you have urged? What is the purpose of the Constitution if it's not to be followed? Why take an oath to do to uphold and defend the Constitution and not do so? Why limit making war to the Congress, but then ratify the President's will? Or making it as if the Constitution authorized it. If the US bombs other countries to temper their own military appetite, who and what will temper America's offensive military appetite? Can Congress fund a war it is declined to declare? Why are undeclared wars now commonplace? What to do about a Congress that escapes its constitutional duties? Which is worse, a president who fights an undeclared war or Congress that does nothing about it? What is Congress afraid of? Where is the Constitution? Is the President empower to spend billions killing foreign persons in an undeclared war? From what source does the President derive power to destroy a foreign land? Why was there no great American debate about the war before the President began his killings? Can the President order killings because he is in the mood for it or for fun? Doesn't the Constitution establish a system of checks and balances so that none of the three branches of the federal government can amass power at the expense of the other two? Don't the Constitution and history lay out the functions and powers of the branches of government and aren't they supposed to check each other so as to assure personal freedom? What good are treaties if they're not followed? Why are treaties the supreme law of the land along with the Constitution itself and all the federal statutes? Why does the government violate treaties like the Geneva Convention and the United Nations Charter that U.S. officials wrote and U.S. President signed or acknowledged and the U.S. Senate ratified? Can the President choose which laws he personally will obey and which he will personally violate? Can the government legally break its own laws? Can the president spend money from the U.S. Treasury that has not been authorized by Congress? Can the president impose a sales tax on all goods entering the U.S. from foreign countries? Can the president pick up and choose which statutes to enforce and which to ignore? Why is computer hacking a crime unless it's done by federal agents? Can the president put his own name on American cash? Can he put an image of his face on all your cash? Does Congress still write the laws and appropriate funds or does the president now do these things on his own? Is the president required to tell the truth? Is the government required to tell the truth? Why is it that the government can lie to the people, but it is a crime to lie to the government? Does the government work for us or do we work for the government? Does the government know more about us than we know about it? What happens when the government is untruthful and the people believe it? Isn't truth the essential bond between the government and the governed in a free society? Doesn't the government derive its just powers from the consent of the government of the governed? What happens when the government does things in which the governed have never consented? Are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness truly inalienable? Individual rights that every person has because they are integral to our humanity? Or are those just words Thomas Jefferson's musings written to arouse a reluctant public to challenge a king? Was the bloody revolution that was brewing on the east coast of the North America two hundred and fifty years ago just a war? If the colonies could justly secede from London, why can't the states justly secede from Washington? Is the right to leave the government without surrendering your property not a natural right integral to humanity? What happened if you tell the government to take a hike? Can the president terrify the whole country by threatening to wipe out an entire civilization across the globe? Why do presidents kill innocents? That's from Judge Napolitano. Lots of good questions there. That's pretty much where we are. It is interesting that you know there's a reflection, a kind of a an audit, right? There's uh an accounting that you get going through that article. And it's we've abandoned principle. Congress abdicated its power long ago. It's the type of people that are there. And again, I think at peak empire, perhaps this happens all throughout history, when you've amassed when so much are at stake with who controls the levers, you just get the worst kind of people. And yeah, maybe that's what this country produces at some point. But I think you look across the land and you go state to state and you travel like I've traveled, and you find people, you find folks that build things and workers who make things and people to keep the lights on. And, you know, most people, you know, they they don't have this grand scheme to rule over others. And you see that in communist countries, you know, when the power structure takes hold and they'll put in a commissar or they'll have somebody in charge of a food, you know, breadline or something. And a lot of times, you know, that'll go to their head because they're not in charge of anything. So they end up being a control freak. That's kind of a you know a consequence of having a totalitarian society. But when there is a true psychopathic ruling class, you know, it just attracts them like miles to a flame. This is where they go. So that's where all of our psychos and sociopaths and narcissists and you know uh lizard people it attracts all the reptilians uh to the halls of government, right? It's this it's the type of person. I I started to see that, and it's not all of them, you know. Like I I've again, it's it's just a majority, you know. And it's gotten worse. Do you know, like in 1970, it was like 75 or 80 percent of Congress was made up of like military veterans, you know, people because that was like a prerequisite, you know. Like, well, if you're gonna order people to Vietnam and you know, vote on things that uh the Cold War and everything, it's like it's best that you probably serve, you know, if you're gonna be a part of this. And you know, it doesn't always have to be that way. I don't think um there's lots of people that have military services that are just uh awful, you know, this that I don't I wouldn't associate with it, you know. So if they were on fire, I'd put them out with gasoline kind of thing. Like they're just the terrible human beings. So veteran status to me isn't you know something that's a necessary deal. I always question it when somebody's a warmonger. I'm like, hey, it's nice to uh nice how you got out of that draft, you know. It's like with your bone spurs or whatever. Um, but it's not a prerequisite. It's about 80% of Congress or so in 1970. It's like 14% or 12% now, maybe, maybe less. And I guess we'll get down to you know one or whatever. Um, because well, hell, I don't know. Uh we'll get into uh let's see if I can finish a couple articles here real quick. Maybe uh maybe the draft will change all that. Let's uh let's jump into that really quick. Let's see if this was on iconic, and I just loved it for the we'll do that. We'll do two two more articles and then I'll get you guys out of here. All right, let's uh oh, you know what? I'll save my hidden history. Yeah, forgive me for that. I missed the hidden history deal. We'll do that next week. But look forward to the David Icke interview, and I got one from Richard Willard when I was over in uh in England a couple weeks ago. Let me put this up on the screen.
SPEAKER_02This is my friend Richard Willett. Maybe you didn't know. Let's see. It's funny. There we go.
SPEAKER_03This is David Ike.com. It's long past time to tell these moronic psychopaths to go F themselves. This is Richard Will. This is the title of the article, and it's Richard Willett. And there's uh there's War Pete. He's in front of some troops, got some uh gotta do some Illuminati sacrifices in our ritual. The United States will automatically register eligible men 18 to 25 for a military draft pool beginning in December. The rule change was submitted by the Selective Service System, which maintains a database of Americans who would be eligible to serve in the military. This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to uh for selective service through integration with federal data sources. It adds that the rule change remains under review by regulatory affairs and is awaiting finalization. The Daily Mail has reached out to the Pentagon and the White House for comment. The last time the U.S. conducted a draft was in the early to mid-1970s for the highly controversial U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Despite no active draft, men between the ages of 18 and 25 have still been required to register with Selective Service should one be activated. The agency's website said that the rule chains were merely streamline the process and in a workforce realignment. There have been multiple proposals uh to also add young women to the draft, but none have been passed by law.
SPEAKER_02Well. Yeah, that's on the they're they're gearing up for something.
Polls Shift On Israel And War
Plugs Final Thoughts And Sign-Off
SPEAKER_03You know, this is part of the fourth turning, folks. Part of the end of institutions, the end of historical cycles. And for some reason, humanity's too stupid to uh steer away from repeating cycles because the only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history. I mean, what what good would any of that do? Like, why do we have to get into some cataclysmic uh Armageddon? You know? I mean, I got some ideas I can't say on air. Like, you know, if you think that way, you know, like what are you? Like if you really want that, and there's a lot of people that want that. I mean, is David Icke wrong? I mean, are they just reptilian? I mean, at this point they think like them, you might as well be one. I think they are. I think it's like uh I think they're spiritually uh from another dimension or something of that line, right? They clearly want to usher in evil because it makes no sense. Like we could just be building stuff right now. All the technological advances we're making, you could just you could do a lot, but we have to we have to go to war and we have to do it for no reason, and you have to declare it standing next to the Easter bunny. All right. Uh last article of the day antiwar.com. A little bit of good news on the horizon, I guess. Uh sixty percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Israel. Uh not because of Americans. A new poll found that six in ten Americans now have an unfavorable view of Israel. Young Americans have a negative view of Israel. The Pew poll surveyed, uh, released on Tuesday, reported that over 60% said they have an unfavorable view of Israel. In 2022, only 42% of Americans held a negative view. There was a sharp divide between Democrats and Republicans. 41% of Republicans have an unfavorable view. That number is double with Democrats. There are also a large split between younger and older Americans. 70% of Americans under 50 had a unfavorable view, including 50% of Republicans. Yeah, the age gap. The poll was conducted after the U.S. and Israel started an aggressive war with Iran, according to sources, speaking with the New York Times. President Donald Trump was convinced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to launch the war. Well, he gave him a golden pager, you know, so he just uh just uh or you know, maybe that used the same microphone that killed Charlie Kirk. Uh maybe just, you know, can maybe just build build those together. The Pew survey found Americans do not trust Netanyahu. 59% said they had little or to no confidence that the Israeli leader would do the right thing. Well, I'm good. I'm glad you're picking up that through the television. Uh clearly not. On Tuesday, Trump announced a new ceasefire with Iran. Within hours, Israel violated the ceasefire with a massive round of strikes on Lebanon. Yeah, I had this gut level uh 20 years ago. And uh I thought it would take a little longer, but uh they did it to themselves. You know, the the PR, the the shaming, like for having any sort of dissenting views, like, yeah, I mean, there's there's anti-Semitic people, and they'll bore the hell out of you. I mean, you know, my intellectual, one of my intellectual heroes is Frederick Nietzsche, and before he lost his mind, one of the last things he wrote is like, I'm having all anti-Semite shot. Like he couldn't stand that, but he also had um some coherent thoughts on human behavior and psychology. And, you know, I I admire him for that. And you know, you could use you can use all sorts of arguments and make claims about people's race or their beliefs, or what I just look at their actions. What are you doing? And this is what I've always had a problem with. So I never really, you know, always uh the anti-Semitic people, they always get mad at me because I don't join their club, and then the Christian Zionists kick me out because I don't join their club. And so I'm not, you know, I'm I'm a man with no country. I I don't I don't do left or right uh because I think they're both uh just packed full of psychopaths and liars. And um we'll see how that goes. I'm calling shots down the middle. We're gonna talk about history, what you can do, you know, real strategy, you know, uh realism. There's a great book by Robert Green called The Fiftieth Law. And he wrote the 48 Laws of Power. Then he wrote a little book called The Fiftieth Law about 50 Cent, the rapper. And it's really good. It has a some Latin on the front, a sword that says kneel to Mendium Est. And that means fear nothing. That means also to be free not to invest in dead things and stick to the carcasses of dead policies. You know, don't be afraid to lean into your own ideas and your own identity. Don't be afraid to stand outside the crowd. That's the lesson. All right, folks, we appreciate you. Remember uh Tony.gold is my website, Paratrouther, anywhere podcasts are found. Give me a give me a five-star. Even if you're negative, I'll read it on there. Uh, any any of my podcasts, Artburn Radio or Paratrouther, I'll put out the uh David Icke interview uh this week, possibly tomorrow. Uh I've got uh Richard Willett gonna drop after that. Mr. Anderson and myself working on a new show. Um, bringing back the Wise Wolf Golden Crypto show so we can have you know something more palatable for larger audiences. So we'll be working on that this month. Uh I'll I'll ask you to go subscribe. Remember uh America Unplugged, uh AmericaUnplugged.com. Uh we have a show on Saturdays. Billy Ray Valentine, the legendary Donald Jeffries, join us there. We'll break down the dystopia, the headlines of the week, all that good stuff. Uh but uh appreciate each and every one of you. Wolfpack.gold. This is have I covered everything? I don't think so. I didn't cover everything. And I didn't plug right, but uh you want to support the show? Wolfpack.gold.
unknownAll right.
SPEAKER_03You guys have a great weekend. Take care of each other. End of transmission.
