SPEAKER_01All right, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to another episode of the Arterburn Radio Transmission, the official broadcast of the apocalypse. It is April the 16th, 2026. I'm here with my co-pilot and co-host Beans the Brave. She's going to keep us safe from woodland creatures, bad, bad vibes, intruders, anything that would disrupt the uh the show, as I always say. And uh, you know, I'm I'm I'm increasingly thinking that something went wrong when whenever they uh put CERN online. I mean, you know, even if you're prepared for uh some of the dystopia, even if you're uh expecting it, it doesn't often come in the form that you think it's going to. The end of the world is stupid. Well, I don't say it's the end of the world, it's the end of what we understood to be the world. And you know, I was talking to David Knight this morning and just going over some economics, you know, just standard stuff. You know, you think used to, when I grew up, it was about profit. Like that was uh a blanket term that was used for multinationals and the bankster class and you know, the people that control things. It was about the money. You follow the money. It's not even necessarily true anymore. And we saw that through things like ESG and environmental social governance. It was like a Marxian way uh to uh influence behavior. You know, that was something that you saw uh Larry Fink from BlackRock, you know, back in 2020 when BlackRock started buying up all the residential housing. It's like, well, you know, we can influence behavior through finance. And that's what environmental social governance was all about. And that's really, you know, something that goes back to the reason why the world's richest people backed the communists, they backed the Bolsheviks in 1917. You know, they uh actually today is the anniversary of when uh Lenin re-entered Russia in 1917. He was released from uh the you know, the Germans put him on a sealed train car filled with gold. And then uh we did the same thing with Leon Trotsky uh in 1917 and uh made sure he had all the the gold he needed. He was loaded down with gold by the Warburgs and the Rothschilds and you know the Rockefellers, and and that was uh the way that the elites they would always create this opposition, you know, they would create social change through funding things like communism and and Karl Marx in general. Um, but it you know it's interesting, it's it's bled into, they don't even pretend anymore. And I I saw this article just uh looking at for things on the economy, but uh I thought I'd start out with this today. It's just kind of where we are, and I don't have to go deep into it or anything, but this is uh this is the Chevron executive, Andy Walsh. This is CBS News. Chevron executive Andy Walsh suggests Americans should drive less amid high gas prices. Now, you know, Chevron's this giant multinational conglomerate, kind of like Exxon, you know, um, and they've been around a long time. Like British Petroleum and the Royals and all the rest of that. But it it's like, and and you know, it's funny, but it's it's like Colonel Sanders saying, you know, you should eat less chicken. And I said that to David Knight, or just, you know, Ray Kroc saying, you know, just don't eat so many hamburgers. I mean, that makes no sense. But that's where we are. I mean, it's it's not even about profit anymore. This is an ideology, folks. And so you're deep within the great reset decade right now. Okay, we have the great reset president. We're in the great reset decade, and I knew that. I don't know just instinctually because I'm I'm a little off, but you know, I remember opening up first info war show of the new decade. First hour, weekday, filling in for David Knight. We just assassinated the Iranian general Salomani, Trump did, right? We uh the hashtag was World War III. I mean, you could cut the air with a knife, and I remember I was just last minute and I'm filling in for David, and I, and of course, Alex Jones comes on, and it was uh it was a heavy day for me. I remember I was like, we're entering into something else. And of course, what was right after that? You had COVID-1984, right? So like what you expected was we're we're gonna go to war with Iran, and this is hashtag World War III. Well, it was World War III, it was the war of all the governments against their own people, and there's a lot of noise, and there's a lot of uh things that cloud the way we're I mean, the way we're perceiving things. And I'm I try to cut through that as much as I can, but we're definitely inside this thing, and then you know, it doesn't make any sense. I mean, you have the standard military-industrial complex people, and and you have the Lindsay compromised Lindsay Grams of the world, you know, you have those types that are just you know cheerleaders for war and instability and attacking everyone, and you think, well, is it just because they're you know ardent Zionists? Is it just because they want war? Some of it is that, but uh a great deal of it is you have to have these creative destruction operations, you have to have these controlled demolitions. It looks like one thing, but it's actually another, you know, it's a misdirection. You have to have that for the magic trick, which is why I try to cut through a much of as much as the nonsense, you get caught up in the politics of it. You're just uh you're lost already. If you get lost in, if you get into the left-right paradigm, you're already behind. So I try to cut through as much of that as I can. And, you know, this is just indicative of where we are. So stop thinking, you know, it's all about the money. It's not necessarily, it's all about the influence, all about the power. And more money. I mean, think of think of the money we could have made, folks, if we'd just opened up our markets and done deals. You know, think about uh Thomas Jefferson, peace, commerce, and honest friendship. You know, you talk about a real estate guy. Thomas Jefferson was the king of all real estate people. Did you know that? Have you ever looked at the the deal he did on the Louisiana Purchase? It is the greatest deal of all time. I mean, who cares about Trump compared to Thomas Jefferson? Nobody compares to Thomas Jefferson. I think I'd follow Tom's advice. You know, peace, commerce, honest, friendship. And he knew how to conduct a war. You know, he had the Barbary pirates. Go back and look at that. He didn't like to uh to pay their ransom. You know, the seas were the high seas were open to trade and commerce. He wanted he wanted those ships, those American ships, to be able to sail, to be able to sell our wares and buy things and bring them home. And we were having to engage with the Barbary pilots, with the you know, the the Muslims. As a matter of fact, our oh you I should read this on air sometime. Our first national anthem, same music, by the way, was about the Barbary War, the Barbary Pirate War. And it's same music, different words, about making the turban head bow. You should go look at that. That's a true thing. And uh it was brought back, resurfaced during the War of 1812 with Francis Scott Key. That's how you get the modern day Star Spangled Banner. But he knew how to fight a war and got rid, you know, this was where you get the term leather neck for the Marines because they have to wear these leather straps around their neck because the, you know, Barbary pirates cut your head off. And uh, you know, that's where even the Marine Corps hem from you know uh to the shores of Tripoli, that's where you get that. It's it's hearkening back. But we won that. We wouldn't have a some uh prolonged regime change thing. It's just just this was a direct threat. So Thomas Jefferson took care of that, and then he brought the ships home. And it was mission accomplished. We weren't gonna pay the ransom. So I I would look at something like that for leadership and not whatever the hell this is. And we have lost. I mean, it's the trillions that were lost. The the economic development just over the last since 2020. So we're in the great reset decade. Trillions and trillions were printed. So you have the devaluation of your current savings, you have the loss of stock valuations, you have the loss of equity, loss of you know, company earnings, all of that stuff. You have the supply chains that were broken. You know, you were locked down on Friday the 13th, March of 2020. The executive order signed by Donald Trump locked you down. You were told you were not essential, you got to go home. Here's 1200 bucks, you know, and uh we break this the you know entire social order of our of our country. You know, we have a bunch of kids that are masked up, and we're just showing all the all the most terrible aspects of fear and human nature. And you add that together, and it doesn't create prosperity, you know. Funny thing, right? It didn't it didn't create prosperity to lock people down and uh you know uh destroy the supply chain. Uh but that's what we did. So all the money that was lost, so these whatever we're doing now is not creating wealth. And these certain types and mindsets, like Gore Vidal said, they don't, it's not a conspiracy, they just think alike. To go just look at something like this, Chevron executive. Need I say more? I mean, I'm not wrong. You know, like think about Dave Thomas from Wendy's, who just comes out and says, you know, just eat less of my chicken sandwiches. We just need to eat less of those for all of our sakes. You know, drive just drive less. Use less gasoline. That doesn't make any sense. Shouldn't it be about exploration and about technology? And maybe we should be driving more, right? Let's drive more to get more done. Maybe we have more economic activity. No, slow it down. And if you think that this isn't part of climate lockdowns and those things that are coming, and look at the headlines on Drudge right now. The airlines, everything is uh delayed reaction, by the way, folks. Let's look at just here, look at this pull-up Drudge. I don't know. StreamYard changed um their screens and so I I have no idea. They keep updating this thing, and I'm not interested in keeping up, I guess, anymore. Let me look at Drudge here, though. Europe has six weeks left of jet fuel, flight cancellations loom, uh Lutanza to cut capacity, spirit crushed, risk imminent collapse. Well, you know, maybe it's a a little bit sensational on the headlines, but you get the picture. Not everything is like, oh, it happened the next day. I mean, there's I was listening to Jim Rickards talk about how the supply chain, the oil coming out of the Strait of Hormuz, uh has been offloaded. Finally, those ships that were dispatched before all the disruption have hit places like South Korea and Japan, where they make so much in Taiwan. And guess what? Uh there's no more following behind them. They are running out. So, what does that mean for the the world economy? Again, we're not making anything. You know, we're not making inroads, we're not building things. This is the whole point, how you create wealth in the first place, is to have economic uh certainty. You have uh markets love the certainty, they you know, the uh way to trade, the way to uh conduct business and all that, the safety of that, the trust that's built in that. Why do you think and we're gonna talk a little bit uh about this next, but why do you think they're building the Hong Kong gold exchange the way that they are? Have you thought about that? Do you know why that is? It's not um the Hong Kong Gold Exchange, is it the second part of what you know you have the Shanghai in China, but then you have the Hong Kong Gold Exchange. I'm telling you, that's one of the most important stories in the last five years. And the reason it's important is because they're building physical storage facilities just off the airport in Hong Kong. And the reason that they're doing that is they're gonna have physical stored gold bullion to conduct business. That's where you will show it's like trust but verify. So you're gonna have these massive storage facilities in Hong Kong so that other countries, and it's all moving eastward, that's where the power is, where power goes, folks. You follow the gold, you follow where it goes, it goes eastward, and they're gonna build that to conduct the entire new world economic order. The monetary system of the future is being can be constructed right in front of you. And you're you know, we're looking at old the old ways of of doing business, you kind of think this is the way it's supposed to be done. But then again, I'm just gonna give you little tidbits. Even the executives of Chevron think you should you should drive less. Just uh just food for thought. All right, let's jump into some headlines on uh on goal, just a little bit of economic headlines, and I want to head into uh something that's a little parapolitical, and then we'll get into uh uh an article from Michael Schneider on from the economic collapse blog uh via Activist Post. There's something I want to cover there about shortages. I don't think I don't think you should panic, or I don't think there should um, you know, I mean, I I do think that a great deal of the economy is still working. The problem is that we've the disruptions, like I mentioned earlier, on some of those nations that produce so much, the energy issues with the Strait of Hormos, we're just now getting to see, you know, the the drawbacks of that. So that'll be something you need to keep on your radar. All right, let's uh let's put this up on the screen.
Gold Commodities And Currency Inflation
SPEAKER_00This is Kitko.
Chat Notes And A Darker Culture
SPEAKER_01And I mentioned this earlier when I was on with uh David Knight, but it's worth just remembering the fundamentals here. Gold will rally substantially if geopolitical uncertainty remains high while interest rate expectations come down. Well, J yeah, just uh just a side note to this, I I was looking at some intel this morning, and uh Janet Yellen, who used to run the Federal Reserve, she was the Fed chair, then she was the Secretary of the Treasury for the United States under Biden. So, like, you know, the two things that the financial operations of the United States that are pretty much the same thing, right? She came out and said, well, if you if you create currency to service debt, then you're gonna have inflation. And then she said that we were becoming a banana republic. And I thought, well, that's really appropriate because you caused it. So I mean, this is where we are. I mean, and no risk they take no responsibility, they just leave it to the next person, but they wreck this stuff and then wonder, oh, what do you mean? I what do you mean? I destroyed the very foundations of the American economy. What do you mean? I mean, this is and it's so rudimentary, uh, it's so like level one. You think you ascribe so much smarts to these people, or I don't, but I mean, you talk about the mainstream and things. We we hold these people up to be like masters of the universe or something like they're they're so very special, but they're so very not. I mean, this is something just so easy to understand. Yeah, you increase the currency, if you increase the money supply and you service the debt with it, you have to borrow more to create more currency. It's a snake eating its own tail and it expands and it creates inflation. And yes, that is a banana republic, but it's a banana republic with nuclear weapons. All right, Kitco news commodities such as gold and oil will likely continue to deliver outsized price gains, even if and when the Iran war is over, and investors sitting on substantial goal positions should never consider broadening their commodity exposure, according to Giovanni Stavano, a commodity analyst at UBS. A note published Monday, Stavano analyzed the impact of ongoing Middle East conflict, and he said continued tensions in Iran and risks in the Strait of Hormuz have added upside pressure to both prices and volatility in commodities, most notably oil. He wrote. We continue to see upside for commodities driven by fundamentals and supply-demand imbalances along further geopolitical risk, maintain, maintaining an allocation to commodities with a focus on active management. He's talking about just broad spectrum, all commodities priced against the world economy. If you look at like finite things, and it could be oil, it could be gold, it could be silver. It's important to understand, you know, you this is something I even just did this morning. I got up and I was I just had a uh question in my mind. It was and I listened to a podcast about a week ago, and it was similar subject matter, but it talked about you go back to 1979, and you look at the the share of of gold uh to the world economy. So we go back to 1979, if you just take all of the the world economy and you put it together, gold was about 20% in 79-80 of the entire global economy, the GDP, the wealth, whatever you want to call it, right? So there's a phenomenon though. If you look at like gold today is about it's like$33 trillion market cap or something like that. So if you take the share of the world economy in real terms, it's about the same, but it's not. Let me explain. If you go back to 7980, the entire you know, 20% or whatever of the of the global economy is is gold. And the currency is the issue. So you add all the currencies of earth. So there's 56 times more currency on earth or more today than there was in 1980. And so I just did a simple calculation. If you look at the world economy, I don't want to bore you, but this is really important because there's so much fake. You're talking about the biggest bubble in the history of man. So it's not like, you know, oh, that's kind of it's just food for thought. No, it's this is systemic and it's cancer, right? And it will, there will be a reckoning for it. So I'm just giving you like a little bit of trend, a little bit of uh uh insight, you know, two or three steps ahead. The world economy is about 126 trillion today. That's all the stocks and you know, that's businesses, equity, real estate. Then you add. Like bonds and other things and currencies, then that's when it spiked. So 126 to 800 trillion. So the difference today is gold is 3% of that. If you look at the total everything of the world economy. But back then, they didn't have all that currency. You understand? So 79, 80, there wasn't that much. Yeah, you had fiat currency, you had the dollar, which had just taken off. So it was only eight years old. You know, Nixon takes us off the gold standard in 71, August 15, 71. So the the key here to watch is the massive amount. And we're not talking just the dollar, but it's everything. And the printing, the expansion of the money supply is going to be what implodes all of it. Like the reset, which is what they're talking about, you know, the great reset, whether you're talking about the World Economic Forum or whether you're talking about Agenda 2030 or whatever. That is infused into all of the headlines and what we're seeing today. They can't escape it. It has to be a reset. That's why you see the stable coins. There's off-ramps to that. You know, that's why they're slowly reconstructing gold as the world's reserve currency. And I think Bitcoin will have a place in that as well. I mean, we just saw the the Iranians using it as a toll booth, you know, two million in Bitcoin a pop for each ship, you know, that has to go through the strait. And that's not, that's just the beginning. It will start with gold. It will correlate with Bitcoin. There will be other things. I mean, silver will play a role even as a monetary metal in the future. You're talking about a limited supply of commodities in the face of 600 plus trillion in currency that is not backed by anything. So that's something a little fun. This is why I thought this article was interesting because he's talking about commodities it together in one broad spectrum, not just, you know, that's what happened to go uh to gold when, you know, after the initial shock of the start of the war, once we realized the Strait of Hormous is choked off and oil's going to 100 and 120. Well, people jumped out of gold, and that's what gold did its job. They were able to liquidate fast, it got out of gold. So the price of gold dipped a bit. Turkey sold off a bunch of its gold. They're going to buy oil, but they're going to stock up on energy, all of that stuff. That's uh, that's what it does. And we pulled back a little bit, but you're talking about long-term. Just think about that. Think about how much of the bubble. You're talking about sovereign debt, global debt is just under$400 trillion. And then you think about all the currency that's created, it's it's inevitable that the monetary system, the the great reset, whatever you want to call it, all of that, the new economic world order is just around the corner. And it it's the infrastructure is being built for it right now. And do you think that uh you know Wall Street will stay the same? Do you think that these CEOs, the thing you should that have gas, do have uh fuel companies think you should drive less? Do you think they're gonna bail us out? All right. Uh let me uh make sure I get to the chat today. I always I get rolling on these articles, and we got a lot left to cover, but I want to make sure I get to everybody. Uh let's see. Oh, this it's showing that I have uh you guys getting a video feed? That's that's weird if uh if you're not. I'm not sure. That's uh that's the way I've got it here on my end. I'm not sure. Um I see Bronx Stopper 111 is in the chat. This is uh Tony, did you ever get the deal set up for Wolfpack members to get a little kickback for you know, I yes, and if you'll uh send me a text after the show if you'll go to or go through the website, you can go to uh the toll-free has text. You can just the one the number that ends in 1776. Um, you can become an affiliate. We pay one percent for the life of uh I just haven't launched that publicly yet. But if you're interested and you want to you know have a little side hustle, yeah, we pay one percent for life. So like if you sign somebody up, it could be one time or it could be a recurring membership, and we do that for Wolfpack, so anybody can become an affiliate. You just have to uh to get with us. And I just haven't announced it. All right. Yeah, that's interesting. I'm not not sure why I haven't got a uh maybe somebody's saying why I don't have a video fee, but we'll see.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, let's see. Uh okay.
SPEAKER_01And then I'm over on Rumble too. I I saw uh Jason Barker was over there. Yeah, Patriot Girl says, I wish it was 1979. Yeah, I think we could we'd have a lot easier time on prices, and um I don't know, there was a lot less Satanism. I mean there was some. There was a lot less of the evil walking around. I think we've we've put the I was reading an article the other day, you know, in different civilizations to where it's the Phoenicians or the uh the Carthaginians, uh Carthage, it was really into Moloch and uh child sacrifice and uh you know Rome for all its faults, like they they made that a uh like a mission to to destroy those civilizations. Like all these civilizations, a lot of them that disappeared, like there's a reason why they did. You know, you can you can even ascribe it to to God's will. And sometimes I think it's probably just the the running around, like the no consequences. And that's uh where we are now. We have no consequences for you know for the Epstein class. We're being ruled by them. You know, we're we're taken to war by them. You know, we have the Epstein class uh writ large, and there's no consequences. It's probably uh very similar to the way it was in um in Carthage. All right. I'm gonna jump around a little bit. This is uh so I'm gonna hit this article and then we're gonna go into the last piece. I always I always think I have more time.
Missing Experts And The UAP Beat
SPEAKER_00Let's put this up on the screen here. This is um Zero Hedge. And the reason I thought this was important is because of the uh the trend.
SPEAKER_01And I'll tell you a story, it was back in around mid-2020, and I'd been back on the air for several years, and uh living in the Ozarks. I was up on my my mountain and getting some sun, and uh it was on a weekend, and uh I was reading, I just happened to get a gut level feeling. I was like, I need to read uh Jim Mars uh his book uh called uh Alien Agenda. And you open that book up in the beginning, like the page number one of that book, and it talks about the the term flying saucer and where it comes from. And a lot of people thought that it comes from 1947, from Kenneth Arnold uh seeing, you know, the flying saucers, or how do you describe a saucer skipping across the water at incredible speeds um that were actually in the air uh over Mount Rainier. Uh but it doesn't. It comes from the 1870s, I believe it's 1878, about the same year that the U.S. issued the uh Morgan silver dollar. And it comes from Denison, Texas, which is where I'm at right now. There was a farmer out in his field, he looked up and and he described he was flying. He was out hunting, and he said, I I said it was like a saucer, you know, it was a and it was flying. And there, of course, this is before, you know, winged flight, we had balloons and things like that. Uh, but nothing like, you know, he's describing what we would consider a modern day UFO. And as I was reading that book, I had this the strangest feeling, and I thought, you know, this is the next thing. Like we've had, you know, you go with the X-files and you have cultural lore. And then, you know, even the the Cold War aspect of you know, the military-industrial complex and all the hangar 18 and the the mythos of all of that, like ingrained into us over many decades, since since the mid, you know, the 50s, late 40s, and into the 50s. It's a cultural phenomenon. And that was ingrained in us, but it was always been fringe, right? No matter what. I mean, you always had and you had grifters and you had Mirage men, and and you know, and the Mirage men were government agents and people that, you know, from the Air Force and other entities that would create garbage stories and to cover up real things that were happening. And, you know, some of it uh could be explained away by, oh, Area 51 is just uh, you know, high technology and you know, classified stuff. Budget, you know, these are these are the things that you'll never see, the Aurora project and all of that. And I've been studying it for years. But I can't help but think, and I couldn't help but think then, and this is six years ago, that uh this was gonna be the next thing. Like whatever, and I was thinking 2027 in my mind. And anybody that knows me know I was, I mean, that's this is I I I didn't make this up. Like I this is something I I probably talked a little bit about on my show at the time, but I thought this is the next trend. Well, this is a story that's coming out, and I'm telling you, I mean, like it or not, okay? This is not about um, this is not about, you know, hopes and dreams, right? This is not how you I would rather this not be a thing, um, but this is gonna be a thing. And I th one of the stories out there that are is, I think, leading the way to what could open up a whole other set of events for us, uh, news-wise, okay, is happening, in my opinion. And this is zero hedge. Speculation explodes following disappearance of the tenth expert with UFO and nuclear secrets. And uh shout out to my friends over at uh our big dumb mouth podcast, because they have they've been covering this a while. And this just hit like mainstream. It's just is we're getting into Fox News. Uh, Steve Ducey was asking the press secretary about this. And uh, I mean, not much progress is made by the government, but there's something to this. Uh, following the revelation that yet another government contractor with links to nuclear secrets and suspected dark project UAP, you know, unidentified aerial phenomenon, which is the they rebranded like new Coke, you know, like uh Coke did in the 80s to Coca-Cola. They rebranded the UFO. Uh, the information has vanished. Speculation as to what exactly is going on is massively intensified. And this is the case of Stephen Garcia, a 48-year-old uh property custodian at the Kansas City National Security Campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico, marks the latest entry in a disturbing sequence of deaths and vanishings among individuals connected to NASA nuclear weapons components and sensitive aerospace research. Los Angeles magazine contributor Lauren uh Conland uh joined Jesse Weber live to discuss the case, noting it's eerie parallels to prior incidents. Okay, and this guy's just one of, again, there's a whole bunch of them. And now, yeah, you it's a big field, right? This is a lot of people that work in defense, a lot of people have security clearances. You start narrowing the bandwidth, and we're talking about disappearing and some deaths, but we're talking about disappearing. And the interconnectivity to these type of projects, and not only, you know, and of course the nuclear stuff, when you go to Los Alamos, you look at the that's where you know, Roswell and the airfield there is where the Enola Gay took off from, you know, to go deliver the bomb to Japan. Okay. So like UFO, UAP, whatever the hell you want to do it, they have connections to our nuclear facilities. Like there's some sort of there is some sort of uh correlation here. Um Garcia's disappearance is being framed as the tenth missing person case in the UFO mystery. Garcia was last seen leaving his Albuquerque home on foot, August 28th, 2025, carrying only a handgun. He left his phone, keys, wallet, and car. Officials have described him as potentially a danger to himself, but no trace has been found in the remote area where he lived. Uh Conlin emphasized the chilling similarities between this appearance. This one is chilling to me because, as you said, it echoes Neil McCasslin's disappearance. It was like the same thing in the state. It's still this, and again, the state of New Mexico. A retired Air Force Major General with deep UFO community ties, vanished from the same region in 2026. Garcia held top security clearances at the Kansas National City campus, right, with manufacturers over 80% of the non-nuclear components uh for U.S. military nuclear weapons. So Stephen Garcia, I'm I mean to he had a top security clearance. They manufacture 80% of non-nuclear components that go into building military nuclear weapons, and he oversaw tens of millions of dollars. She added that Garcia's role involved handling some classified, some not, leaving open questions about his knowledge base. Neighbors noted he lived in a very remote area and worked in aerospace research. Again, and a couple of other of these people that disappeared, same thing. Like they just they had a they had their weapon, they left everything, or they just walked out and they're never seen again. Multiple individuals on the list of those who have vanished or died worked at or with NASA's jet propulsion laboratory. Hey, folks, do you know what jet propulsion laboratory is? You know who started that? Jack Parsons. Okay, Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard were in the desert in 1947, literally doing a ceremony to invoke the Scarlet Woman, the whore of Babylon. And uh Alistair Crowley got really mad at both of them because he thought they had opened up a portal. Like you can go look this up. And it's funny, the the proximity of which so much occultism is around NASA, so much occultism is around all even the aerospace people. They again Jack propulsion, Jack Parsons, the jet propulsion laboratory, JPL. Some people thought it meant Jack Parsons. That's why that's why I had a slip of the tongue there. Even I uh infused it. But yeah, that's that's all true. You know, the the uh the the mythos and everything that surrounds it, and I don't think, I mean, it's a there's a mystery inside of a mystery here, but uh a lot of these things, and you gotta ask like about the whole Artemis thing, like the whole, why didn't you snap a picture of the flag on the the moon? Like, why why why didn't we do any of this stuff? And I don't understand it. Like, and what was the point of it? If you if it was truly fake, why did you even do it? Like, what was the point of it? I mean, I think we got enough distraction with uh uh Operation Run Out of Gas. They were to Operation uh Epstein Fury uh that that uh went into Operation uh Empty Tank. No official connections have been publicly confirmed by law enforcement between the cases, yet the geographic clustering in New Mexico and California, combined with shared professional networks and nuclear and space tech, continues to fuel speculation. Online discussions on X and Reddit's UFOs and related communities have exploded with theories attempting to explain the pattern.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Just a little snippet, because I thought it was relevant that you know, this obviously is a pattern, and there's probably some sort of interconnectedness to it, especially you add the nuclear component, the UAP component or UFO component, and I don't know, where there's smoke, there's fire. And uh you add that up, and there's something perhaps a resetting of the table or loose ends or whatever you want to call it. This is going to be one of the largest, you know, trends at the end of this decade, which is the great reset. Going into 2030, ladies and gents, I promise you. And so pay attention to that. I'll have more updates on stuff like this, but I I do think uh just as watching trends a little parapolitical, this will be some of the things. And I think this is an opening salvo where the mainstream starts crossing into alternative, which isn't always a good thing, but we've reached some sort of critical mass, like it's gone up the chain uh far enough where it's being adopted by um even normies. All right, uh, let's go into the last couple of articles uh here of the day. I wanted to bring up uh Activist Post, my good friend Charlie Robinson. If you haven't uh go subscribe to Activist Post, it's got a great website up there, does a lot of great news aggregation, and it's uh from a cross section of a lot of stuff. But I I thought I'd put this up today. We'll discuss a little bit of the uh economic consequences of maybe should we get it some shirts made? Operation run out of gas. I think that's a good one.
Shortages Fueled By War And Oil
SPEAKER_00Let's put this up here real quick. This is activistpost.com.
SPEAKER_01A shortage of nearly everything is coming if the war does not end soon. This is Michael Schneider via the economic collapse blog. A shortage of nearly everything is coming if the war does not end soon. In South Korea, people are already panic buying trash bags. Well, which is a lot more useful, you know. Here in this country, we had um extremely obese people uh panic buying toilet paper. Remember that? I used to think that's such a psyop, and it's like a humiliation ritual. I remember people had like truck beds loaded down with I mean, you can't somebody who was in a basement. You always have that uh that meme of the lizards like at a cocktail party laughing. You know, I just think they were like, hey, get those, get those people out in Costco land to uh to just buy up all the toilet paper. That's what I kept thinking. I'm like, I don't what is even you go into a store and it's be completely cleared out like, what is it that we're that we're hoarding here? Uh even the mainstream media is now openly admitting that shortages are coming. But right now, I am seeing so much apathy about the war in the Middle East and the global supply chain disruptions that are happening right in front of our eyes. So many people seem to be convinced that the war will end soon and things will go right back to the way that they were before. He says, I really wish that was true, but the Iranians just told us that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its former state, especially for America and Israel. And that means that this war is not going to end anytime soon. As a result, the global supply chain disruptions that we are experiencing now are going to get far worse. Most people living in the United States simply do not realize what is really going on out there. All over the world, uh, supplies of essential materials are getting very worse. Tight, which I think is again, I I think it's part of it. And you can't blame people. People are just worn out. Like, you know, you get lied to so much, you don't even know what's this uh what's true, what's false. And we already had all these disruptions for no reason, you know, in 2020, other than again, you have to have um starts and stops. You have to have the the only science really of any of this was behavioral science, like getting people to change behavior, to train, to change their thinking and their habits and all the rest of that stuff. And, you know, uh, we had the COVID-1984 lockdowns. Why not have the energy lockdown? And you can get there through these disruptions. One more month into the war in Iran, a growing shortage of crude oil is threatening to morph into something worse, a shortage of nearly everything. It's funny how that works. Like, you know, energy creates um the ability to make things and manufacture and then you know petroleum, you know, uh it's it makes plastics and uh, you know, the containers for things and then uh you know, clothing and all that. I mean, it does almost pretty much everything, right? It and even fuels how you make other things that are non-petroleum related. Um, but the war is going great, you know. This is so that this isn't some rumor on social media. This is CNN, one of the most powerful news organizations in the entire world, is openly admitting that widespread global shortages are rapidly approaching. According to CNN's report, people in South Korea are already panic buying trash bags, and manufacturers in Taiwan are already completely running out of plastic. In South Korea, where people have been panicked buying trash bags, the government has encouraged event organizers to minimize use of disposable items. Taiwan has started a hotline for manufacturers that have run out of plastic, while its rice farmers told local media that they may hike prices because they can't get vacuum-sealed bags. In Japan, the oil crisis has sparked fears that patients with chronic kidney failure won't be able to get treatment due to a lack of plastic medical tubes used in homeodialysis. Malaysian uh glove manufacturers say a dearth of petroleum byproduct needed to make rubber latex is threatening global supplies of medical gloves. This spills into everything very quickly: beer, noodles, chips, toys, cosmetics, said Dan Martin, co-head of business intelligence at Dean Dizan Shira, an associate's an advisory firm. And this is again, this is an advisory firm that helps people and businesses expand in Asia. What was I saying earlier in the show? Those uh ships aren't coming at the same frequency, they're not in the same uh rotations that they were. The the offloaded petroleum that arrived in South Korea just arrived or is arriving now, and then nothing follows behind it. So brilliant plan, by the way. I mean, it's gotta be on purpose. I mean, it's so stupid. And it and it's bloodthirsty and it's evil and it has all those hallmarks. And if you're dumb enough to like believe that it has anything to do with nuclear weapons, then maybe that like you're just the mark, you know. What's that saying? If you uh if you're in the room and you can't tell who the mark is, it's you, you know, and that's you, folks. Like the the people that believe that this has something to do with that. Uh that's just insane. This is something else. Plastic caps, crates, snack bags, and containers are becoming more difficult to procure. Petroleum derivatives are also needed to make adhesives for footwear and furniture, industrial lubricants for machinery, and solvents for for paints and cleaning processes. So that was floored when I first read that. We are just a little over a month into this war. What will things look like three or four months from now if the war is still raging? Just about everything that we buy either contains plastic or comes wrapped in plastic. If you sit down and think about it for a while, it will hit you like a ton of bricks. We are in an enormous amount of trouble, says Michael Snyder. The only way out would be for this war to come to a rapid conclusion, but that isn't going to happen. The IRGC is running the show in Iran, and they will not accept any of President Trump's offers. Well, whose fault is that? And you know, you made it more radical by killing the old Ayatollah. The IRGC has issued its own list of demands what the U.S. and Israel can never possibly accept, and they have announced that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its former state. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp Naval Command said in a post on X Overnight that the Strait of Hormuz will never return. The Navy of the IRGC is in the process of completing the operational preparations for the announcement. Well, you know, anybody that knows anything about Iran and the Middle East and oil flow, I mean, I literally have been talking to my dad about this since 1996. Okay, right around the time that Benjamin Netanyahu said that they were two weeks out. Uh you know, getting the bomb was imminent. Uh right around that time, as we went in, I I remember this, it was the Strait of Hormuz. They close out the Strait of Hormuz. You know what's going to happen? Oil's gonna go to 120, 200 bucks a barrel. Uh, you know, again, I'm not in charge of anything, but you know, uh a future paratrooper from Texas knew that in 1996. Okay, that's it. And somehow this smart set of uh really well-read people, really thoughtful geniuses in control that couldn't see that happening. And you know, Michael Schneider's right uh in this article, it's not gonna end anytime soon, as much as I would like it to. Uh, but isn't that part of the plan? I mean, you have these also have these sycophants, they just can't stop. I mean, uh, it's 4D chess, we're gonna use American oil. Uh yeah, you know how long that takes? You know, do you know how long it would take to start switching supply lines and reallocating American energy and drilling and creating more? You know, the the companies that are around right now, they're gonna just go ahead and reap the benefits of a hundred-plus dollar barrel oil. You know that, right? I mean, there might be some exploration or some new oil that comes online, but you know, it takes years. You don't just do that overnight. Same thing like we might have access to Venezuela, but you realize it takes years. So what happens in the interim? And even if you could get it online. I mean, that 4D chess crap, can we just stop now? Like we've we've been had, all right? It's bad. It's not gonna get better. Not in this current political climate, not what we currently have. I mean, you start looking around, the rest of the world, they already moved on. Like they're they're already reallocating their monetary systems to gold. Like they're they're done. Like, oh, the United States is cooked. We're not gonna. I mean, the Chinese used to be the biggest buyer of U.S. treasuries. Now they're the biggest seller. The dollar used to be the world's most reserved asset. It's not anymore. Gold is. The central banks used to have more treasuries than gold. Not anymore. Like you that's where we're going. We're going because of the loss of trust and stupid things like this. And then you add in all the cost of everything, how the supply chain will be affected. I mean, we're the the midterms, there should be a foregone conclusion. If you're even thinking that politics even matter at this point, or if politics are even real. I subscribe some um some validity to them. Some. But it'll just be about the exercise of you know the two factions fighting out which crime family gets to run what, you know. That's about it. It's not really for your benefit. Uh just telling David and I today, long ago, the powers that be have abandoned their initial function, which was, you know, the national security state was born in 1947. Kind of funny, too, that uh, you know, the same year of rot as Roswell and Mount Rainier and a few other incidents that uh we'll get into some UFO lore, but that's those are things that are interconnected. You have the 1947 uh USC 68 document. That's when Truman signed in the NSA, the Air Force, the CIA, all that stuff. It's a national security state. And the reason I say that, it's because it has a life of its own. And now it has nothing to do with American security or American prosperity, clearly.
SPEAKER_00Clearly. Well, because look at the price of oil.
SPEAKER_01Iran wants to be given control over traffic through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a potential deal. There is no way that's going to happen. And I agree with Michael Snyder. So the war is going to continue, and control of the Strait of Hormuz is going to have to be taken from Iran by force.
SPEAKER_00Well, uh I good luck with that.
SPEAKER_01Sadly, global supplies of oil are just getting going to keep getting tighter and tighter, and fuel prices are going to continue to rise. Here in the United States, the average price of a gallon of gasoline has risen by 86 cents over the past month. The national average now stands at 411 per gallon, up about 86 cents from a month ago, according to AAA. Costs are climbing across nearly every region, with some states already well above the U.S. average. Well, look at the diesel. You know, I have a diesel truck. And diesel, think about what that's all the trucks on the road. That's what they do, folks. They deliver things. It runs off energy. You know, and people say, oh, I have a I have an electric car. You're still on the grid. There's still an electric car, you have to charge it. It doesn't, electricity doesn't flow out of magic, you know. It has to come from somewhere. Even if you manufacture things like solar panels, it takes oil. It takes energy.
unknownRight?
SPEAKER_01You have to all the plastics, all the things, all the components, they have to be mined. Then you have to run the machines to mine the things. It all comes from energy. That's why you need markets with certainty and you need deals done and peace and uh trade routes and in-routs and things like that. You need uh somebody um that is not trying to wreck your economy. You know the calls are coming from inside the house, by the way. Diesel has climbed uh to five dollars and sixty-one cents up about$1.45 over the past month. As a key fuel for freight shipping and public transportation, it is particularly sensitive to refining capacity constraints and global supply disruptions. Yeah, the near the price of everything is in this, and you know panic buying. You know, you talk about the things that are made of made of petroleum, and it's of course it's a it's like a domino effect. It's creating like this panic buying goes into Asia. Asia makes so much stuff. We have we source the products from there because of free trade. They either increase the price or they don't have the things that we need. And you're talking about everything that is connected to that, folks. I mean, this is uh it's gonna be a serious crisis, and it's I think it's just getting started. Don't want it to be. Hope I'm wrong. Uh, but I think the world is already starting starting to accept that. I mean, that's why you know Turkey sold off like billions of dollars worth of gold. France was, you know, reallocated a bunch of its gold. But um, the reason you had that interlude between the start of the war and gold going to$5,300 an ounce or more, and then this pullback to where you know we got into like the$4,500. Well, just there was a sell-off. Like they had they loaded up, did some profit taking, they bought oil, they bought energy. This is what's happening. They're reallocated. So gold did its job, but this is still in the realm of commodities uh versus fiat currency.
SPEAKER_00Like you're just gonna have rising prices.
Gold Silver Prices And Closing Thoughts
Upcoming Shows Reviews And Wolfpack
SPEAKER_01And this is uh the final paragraph here with Michael Snyder. There's no way that global energy markets can simply snap back to pre-war conditions. Too much energy infrastructure has already been destroyed. If Iran does not agree to make Trump's Tuesday deadline, things will get a whole lot worse. Well, they didn't. For now, most people living in the Western world continue to believe that everything will work out just fine somehow, but reality will give them a wake-up call soon enough. Well, it's not my favorite thing, uh, but it's my job to uh look at some trends, and that is certainly on the horizon. So, you know, plan accordingly, ladies and gentlemen. All right, let's check some gold prices and then uh gold and silver prices and get you guys out of here. And I would uh I would encourage you to go look at things like I brought up earlier about the share of gold as the you know the when the world economy from 45, 46 years ago versus now, it seems like it's the same, except you add in all the currencies, it's not. And it's it's just a it's just a fraction of what it was. And I think a lot of that reallocation will be happening sooner than later. So it's just something to something to notice. All right, let's throw this up. Goldprice.org. Let's look at the price of the yellow metal today. 4,793 Luciferian bankster notes make a troy ounce of gold, 4,793 Federal Reserve fiat dollars for uh an ounce of gold, the yellow metal, down eight bucks over opening today. Uh silver 78.62 per troy ounce of uh the white metal or gray metal, whatever you want to call it, uh 7862. Uh things have been fairly steady. And I'm glad I, you know, these giant swings, you you would think that I'm like loving that or something. I don't. I just like nice and steady as she goes, just uh keep stacking and in the face of everything that's happening economically with the uh world monetary system, and I think you'll do just fine. Um there's also some uh Bitcoin news going on with accumulation. We'll definitely get into that uh possibly next week. Uh and I got the wise wolf golden crypto show coming back. So uh stay tuned for that. I'm gonna drop the David Ike interview uh sit-down podcast tomorrow. So look for that. And Richard Willett comes out on Sunday. Uh anywhere podcasts are found for Paratrooth or Arterburn Radio Transmission. Uh leave me a review and I'll read it. I don't think I have any new reviews from last week. But if you'll leave me a five-star review over on Apple Podcasts at any one, any of my podcasts, Paratrooth or Arterburn Radio, I'll read it on air, even if it's negative. But you got to give me five stars. And uh help us help us escape the uh the shadow ban. All right, folks. Appreciate each and every one of you. America Unplugged on Saturday. Uh Billy Ray Valentine, legendary Donald Jeffries, be there. Uh 12 Eastern for America Unplugged. We'll we'll uh decode the Dyscopia together and go over the headlines.
