Cold Open And Sam Houston Story

SPEAKER_01 0:04

We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order. Good evening, folks. You're listening to the hour of the time.

SPEAKER_03 0:17

I'm William Cooper. The chair is against the wall. John has a long mustache. John has a long mustache. It's 12 o'clock, Americans. Another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there on a behind the lines, this is your song. Veteran of three four wars. Entrepreneur and warrior poet. Tony Aarburn takes on the issues facing our country, civilization, and planet. This is the Rburn radio translation.

SPEAKER_02 1:52

He said that on his deathbed, Sam Houston, who was the first president of Texas, has a really interesting uh backstory. We'll have to do a uh paratrooter sometime on Sam Houston. But uh on his deathbed, supposedly, he um summoned uh the local uh politicians. He's he said, give me this, I think the state legislator and the the state senator. He just give me those two. And they sent him to his bedside, and he said, Well, one of you stand on this side, and then I want you one of you stand on the other side of the bed. And then uh people in the room were just curious about why he would do that. And he said, Um, because I want to die like my Lord and Savior between two thieves. So I remember that to this morning for some reason because I was doing some research for the show, and ladies and gentlemen, I this was the longest I've set for show prep in a really long time, and I

The News Feels Like A Simulation

SPEAKER_02 2:55

found almost nothing worth talking about. It is, I thought last week was a dumpster fire. I mean, it's this is a simulation to see if you'll go mad, like to see if you will actually lose your faculties. Um, I mean, it's always interesting to pry into the apocalypse, but I don't know. It the banality of evil, there's probably something to that. It just repetitive um the the the crimes and follies of of mankind, as um Edward Gibbons said, that's what history was, the guy who wrote uh the uh decline and fall of the Roman Empire. But let's uh let's see what we can do today. Maybe I'll make the show uh interactive if you guys want to uh comment or send me something. You are my support group, so if you want to give me a jumping off spot or something to talk about. I mean, I I'm interested in anything that helps us glean a little bit of wisdom from today's headlines. And yes, this is the Arterburn Radio Transmission. I am your host, Tony Arterburn, the official broadcast of the apocalypse. I'm joined in studio with Beans the Brave. We're uh live from uh the Denison location in North Texas, deep in the heart of Texas, folks. And um well, let's see. I mean, the headlines of Drudge, if you want to open that up, we've um Operation Epstein Fury continues, and now we're uh operations are in uh going into the Red Sea, and uh oil is over a hundred dollars an ounce, and you know, all the financial fallout from that is happening. Um, and it's probably not hitting the pumps yet, but it will. And this again, it's like Groundhog Day, but now we've got a widening war, supposedly. You know, a war of choice, we didn't have to do this, and it's interesting. Caitlin Johnston's got an article up on lourockwell.com that I'll get into a little bit, and maybe we'll get to that after this first headline that I want to jump into. But yeah, it's interesting. We didn't have to do this, and I don't know, gut level, and I've talked about this before. That was my feeling about what this administration was going to be. Uh, you know, I got asked that on December 4th, 2024, uh, on Tenfoil Hat. And I know that's where my mind went. Uh, that's what I and I have to play that clip sometime because I remember it was it was an eerie day. It was the first time, and I was in Hollywood, I was, you know, in California, and um, and my my little sister was with me, and we were uh visiting the studio. I just had this weird feeling. Uh, and it's the first day that Bitcoin hit 100,000. I don't know. I just I think whatever it is with my life, you know, especially this uh events that I've lived through, I just get really sensitive to historical change or something like that. And maybe I can't even intellectualize it, but there is something strange in the in the matrix of things. And what I come back to is that this belongs to God, and it's God's simulation, or whatever you want to call it. I mean, he's the creator, uh, the author, and the finisher of all of that. And so whatever happens, I'm sure there's um free will and I'm sure there's choices and all that stuff that humanity makes, but you know, I know who's ultimat I know who's ultimately in control of everything at the end of the day. And that's what's you know, it's interesting. I was uh talking to a friend of mine uh here at the shop yesterday, and I had this thought when I was uh I was at the gym, and you know, it's funny because uh alternative media has denigrated, it's downgraded, it's uh regenerated, it's it's not regenerated, it's it is imploded on itself, uh, and I don't know what to make of it, you know, because I know that like clickbait and almost like how dumb you can get is uh is the name of the game

Predictive Programming Without The Puppetmasters

SPEAKER_02 7:05

now. But it's funny because you see a lot of these people and they're just they're just now finding out, like there's things like what we have referred to as revelation of the method, or you know, predictive programming and things like that. But what I'm starting to maybe come to an understanding of, and it's it just kind of hit me because you I was trying to explain that, you know, like we assign and have assigned in the past um a lot of authority to those type of things. Like if you go back and look and see things like uh 9-11 references and anything from like Back to the Future, or if you go to you know uh the Matrix and you see that Neo's passport expires on September 11, 2001, or any pop culture references and things you know, prior to uh big events, or you see, you know, just references and songs, or any of these things that happen, and you know, the the conventional research is that somebody's planting them there as kind of like a karmic uh buffer, you know, like if they put something out, then they're karmically released because they told you so. And maybe there's some truth to something like that. It's kind of like you have to let the vampire in. But what I think is that everything's happening, you know, the the future and the past are all intermingled, you know. Um, and it's funny, it's something Nietzsche said that the future uh influences the present just as much as the past, which is true. So we we're seeing that's proof. It's funny, you could it should make you smile that when you see these crazy things that show up in in the in the matrix of things like that, you will see that there is uh a correlation between past and future and events that happen because this is a divine system that we're in, whatever this life is. So we are in a crazy place, I will say, and I'm gonna get into some articles and we'll get away from my uh metaphysical stream of consciousness, but that is true, right? That should make you smile. Like there is there's something special about this existence, it's not just hurling through space at 666,000 miles an hour, whatever, whatever uh it's supposed to be doing. Like we're not hurling through space, we're not an accident of molecules and organic primordial ooze or something that gain consciousness and eyesight or something. It's it's much more special than that. And you can see it in those things that a lot of these people are are exposing. Like, look, like look at these logos, you know, like look at look at the way that this was designed, or look at the $20 bill, you know, that you can fold in and it looks like the twin towers and stuff. It nobody designed that. Right? That that's the simulation itself, the the code itself, because it's God's, it's divine, it has these messages hidden in it back and forth. It's not made by a group, and that's the thing about conspiracy research that's gotten so bizarre, is that we assign this what they them, you know, the power group, so we give them so much credit. We give that like they're like they're above God, and they're not, and that's what we have to remember. Uh, this is a this very special existence that we're in. We're living through some insane times. Uh, but if you look close and you step back, you can hopefully you can gain a little uh glean a little bit of uh of joy from just those little things when you find how strange it all is and how interconnected it all is. Okay. Uh let's uh I'm gonna sip some more coffee. It's been I can't I I told David Knight, I was like, I needed to work, I'm working on some new projects, and uh we're gonna do a promotion for Wolfpack here soon. And I said, I'm gonna take off uh because I gotta I'm gonna be out of town. I said I'm gonna take off to the to the rest of the of the month and I'll see you in August. And I thought, well, I'll give myself some more time to I haven't sat behind the desk this long and looked at stories for Arterburn radio transmission in forever. And literally I just kept looking. I'm like, there's nothing. There's nearly nothing I want to talk about. All right, but we will jump into this. Okay, I will give you your your dose of um of dystopia here. Let's take this off the screen, put this one on. Let's go to zero hedge, ladies and gentlemen. Where is that? There we go.

Defense Bill Locks In Israel Integration

SPEAKER_02 11:58

Does this surprise you much, though? House narrowly passes 1.15 trillion defense bill that integrates U.S. military tech and supply chains with Israel. Our greatest ally. The House passed the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday by 216 to 212 vote, sending $1.15 trillion measure to the Senate. After one of the most partisan House votes in the must-pass bill's recent history, only six Democrats supported it, while seven Republicans voted no. Yeah, it's funny. I was listening to uh a commentator the other day. He's like, well, the future, like if you wanted like and politically, if you want to oppose um if you want to oppose the Israeli lobby, if you want to oppose uh that sort of, you know, the intrusion into national sovereignty, you gotta go and be a Democrat. It's interesting. America First was only a slogan, apparently. And I didn't think it was it certainly didn't integrate into the Republican Party, but it didn't capture any of that. Uh and I what what do you call this, by the way? I mean, this is completely captured the political machine. And if you're a uh Republican voting for this, you uh you're a terrible politician. You don't you're not reading like this is this is about uh today and you're not looking at tomorrow. So there's no future uh gleaning from any of this. For the any there's nothing about this that is tactical for them. They're doing what they are told to do in the moment. And that's uh pretty frightening. Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers praised a top line that he said finally accounts for the true cost of American deterrence. The authorization is a centerpiece of President Trump's push to raise total defense spending to 1.5 trillion in fiscal 2027. You know, that's double what it was. I uh I've been tracking defense spending for a long time. I'm just thinking like off the top of my head, but in the Ron Paul book, uh, the uh the manifesto that he wrote, Liberty, a manifesto, something like that. It it was like I think the total budget was like 750 billion at the time that that came out. And if you added that up, it was more than the next seven countries that are our rivals, you know, Russia, China, and so on and so forth. Uh the I think it's the next seven countries combined, and that was when it was 750 billion. So, yeah, and it's funny because and the the debt is certainly different now. Now we're uh nearing 40 trillion, just to service the debt that we have is a trillion. So exceeding the defense budget. So now we're raising the defense budget, and he wants to take it to 1.5 trillion. Well, you got to have that if you're gonna have um throw throw in uh Israel with that and pay their bills as well. The amendment votes expose the chamber's other fault lines. Rep Ellie Crane's proposal to halt military aid to Ukraine was defeated 76 to 350, while rep Lauren Boebert's attempt to codify the ban on transgender military service failed 212 to 217. Well, that's much closer. The House nevertheless adopted two amendments by rep Nancy Mace restricting gender-related care through the military's TRICARE. Opposition also came from lawmakers objecting to the bill's U.S. Israel Defense Industrial Integration Provisions. Wow. That's uh that's a that's a hell of a of a nomenclature. Rep Alexander Ocasio-Cortez was among the Democrats who cited Section 219, while Reps Thomas Massey and Rokana had had announced that they would oppose final passage on the same grounds. The provisions remained intact after the rules committee declined to permit a floor vote on the amendment. So that's a good thing about uh our democracy, right? Is we can't vote on it. That was the same thing that happened.

TPP Secrecy And The Illusion Of Choice

SPEAKER_02 16:46

If you remember, uh, gosh, it seems like lifetimes ago, but we had the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and this was right before you know it's wonder, you have to wonder what Trump was for. I'll get to that in a second, you know, because this was all that populism that was the groundswell, and I was there, you know. I could uh, you know, I had my ear to the ground, and I just ran for Congress. It was the first time I really got into media, it was around 2014, going into 2015. And the powers that be, you know, they had the super NAFTA's, like we'd had NAFTA, we had the North American Free Trade Agreement, and and Pat Buchanan rightly called uh free trade, it was the Trojan horse of global government, speaking of the Odyssey, right? We had the Trojan horse of global government through these free trade deals, and the big one was the Trans-Pacific Partnership. And if you go back and look at the history of it, it's this massive bill. And of course, you know, Eddie Eddie Munster, uh, Paul Paul Ryan was uh speaker of the house at the time, and they had the bill locked in. This was like a secure place in the basement of the Capitol, and none of the pages could leave, their copies could not be made. You again, there's you couldn't publish anything. You could go down there by escort and you could read it, but only through supervision. And he stopped all attempts to vote on it openly or to talk or to to to debate the Trans Pacific Partnership. That's a damn good bill, right? A bill so good you can't even look at it, can't read it, can't vote on it, you know, can't have a debate about it, because that's Congress, you know. This guy's these people were just bought and paid for. And it's interesting because all of that work went into the TPP, the and it was again, it was like merging nations. Um it was a a giant, like beefed up NAFTA, which is how they want to do the one-world government. It's interlocking economy zones. Yeah, like the North American Union interlinked, you know, with the Eurozone, which is the European Union. You get where I'm saying, like, and you get into the Asian sphere and the Pacific Rim, and that's where you get Trans-Pacific partnership, right? So they were interlinking all these deals to make economy sectors, you know, so that the uh lizard folk um could have their, you know, their different uh fiefdoms. And uh that's it looks like sovereignty, but it's really not. It's just uh different zones with different regional governances and uh different currencies. So the point of all that is that, you know, again, we we have this illusion that we're able to vote on things, especially with this type of Congress. And so I mean, we have a foreign entity that's clearly in control, uh at least of the Republican Party, uh in in totality. So if you go you look at that and the entire scope of of all of this, the Trans-Pacific Partnership was a was a milestone for them, but then Trump came along and the first day in office, which it's funny. I wrote an article about that, that he would kill it, and he did, which is weird because you look at what how he is now, and it's funny. Uh I was working on a a new project as I as I discussed earlier, a little bit, and I was with uh uh someone yesterday who was working on the logo, and he said he went and listened to one of my podcasts, and he had an Indian accent because I assume he's from India, but he's not, he's actually he's lives in America, lives in this, lives here in the U.S. now, and he said, uh, well, I'm a nationalist. So he's like a nationalist for the United States of America, being a naturalized citizen. And he said, I heard your comments on Trump, and I I happen to agree with you. I think he's an actor. But he had, you know, right-leaning nationalistic politics, what I thought was interesting. It's you know, this this the broad spectrum of things. That's probably something you wouldn't have heard five years ago, you know. But there's a lot of so much has happened, like the revealing of things. And that's an open question. Like, what was that all for? Like the rumblings of the populist movement that were happening. I mean, you had Bernie Sanders on one side, you had Trump on the other, you had all this stuff going on. It was it was about having uh borders and sovereignty and all of that. I remember that. It was it was a massive push. And 2016 was a bit of a you know, a grassroots revolution, something that's never happened before. I mean, you guys remember that Michael Moore uh speech that he gave? And he wasn't for it, but he was saying, like, you know, the Democrats are pushing all these workers that got fired and people lost their jobs, and people that are just like, you know, told that you can't vote for Trump. All this stuff is this anti establishment stuff, and he's like, they're gonna do it, they're gonna go in there and close the curtain. And they're going to push because that that's a Molotov cocktail to the establishment that they hate. And I thought, wow, we just wasted a generational, multi-generational chance. It's such a letdown. It's one of the it'll be when it, you know, hopefully there's a future. Um and I believe that there will be, but it uh it's you know, if you look at the the tea leaves, you look at the uh the events rolling out right now, it doesn't seem we don't seem that optimistic on one. But if there is a future and we have a uh history written about this time, it will mark my words, it will be the biggest, like in context of other parts of history, it'll be like the biggest letdown of all time. And and perhaps betrayal. And you know, Pat Buchanan said the great betrayal was was the free trade policies. I don't know. Maybe it's all of this combined. It's the uh politics of the last 10 years. All right. Well, we'll see how the uh I'll stay on top of the story. We'll see how it passes in the Senate. You know, I'm sure uh they'll take uh Mitch McConnell out of out of the cryogenic chamber that he's in right now, like the guy from the Prometheus movie. Uh these he's been uh he's been in stasis for a while. They'll bring him out just for the vote and then re-lock him back in. All right, let's uh let's jump around a little bit. Oh well, I mean, it's kind of in the same vein. Let's go to what's Caitlin Johnston's

Listener Chat On Treason And Blowback

SPEAKER_02 23:32

article. And I'll or should I go to the chat? Let's do the chat first and then we'll do the the Caitlyn Johnston. I've got twenty, I've got 23 uh different notifications here on YouTube. Yeah, if you want to comment, you got any questions for me, guys? You want to talk about anything? Uh I'm I'm open for it today. You guys are my support group, and uh the news is less than interesting to me. Okay. Let's see. Oh, there's Ashley, there's Think Change Repeat. Yeah, and uh Ashley's gonna be hosting the show next week. I don't know if she's gonna have a guest host or whatever she wants to do, but uh she is fantastic, and I'm looking forward to having her see if she can get anything from the headlines because I'm gonna be out of town. Um, but I'll I'll definitely be tuned in. Let's see. Yeah, predictive programming. Well, uh, yeah, there is there, I it's predictive in a way, and I'm just wondering like if we could take a different stance from like a different way of looking at all these things that we find so interesting that are implanted in popular culture or movies or things that people say, you know, like if you get like just little things like the I say little things, but you know, the stuff that people find like uh the book that was written in the in the late 1890s called Titan, you know, that about uh this unsinkable ship and it hits an iceberg, you know, and all this stuff like it's called Titan. And of course it's weird, you know, because that was the name of the submersible sub that got crushed, you know, at the certain depth. It was called Titan, but the book was written about this ship that sinks, you know, 13 or 14 years before the Titanic. It's really weird. Like that there's that stuff that happens all throughout, you know, um history. You can go and there's so many examples of that. And to me, it's not like there's a shadowy group that's uh telling. I I don't I don't buy that. You know, people are like, how would they make that work? Or the like the numbers and the codes and things, like you know, things that uh you know, something that like Trump's the 9-11 president, right? 45, 4-7. And you know, that's interesting. And what does that mean? It's like we is that some it's it's mathematics laid on top of human events, and there is something there is something to numerology and uh sacred geometry and all that uh uh gematria, all that stuff. There's something to it. And you can get the you can glean a little bit of the fact that this is not an accident. Let's see. Uh Bronck Stomper 111 says, Tony, do you consider it treason that the treasonous that Congress passed that bill and integrated with the foreign government? 100%.

unknown 26:24

Une.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

Yeah, unequivocally. That is a uh what do you even call that besides treason? I mean, it's that's that's what it is. It's like you're you're you and the more they integrate, and the more that, and we'll get into this article here in a sec from Caitlin Johnson, like what is this the path that we have chosen, like the the amount of pain that we're bringing to the American people because of this war that had really nothing to do with us. And now we've uh kicked the horn its nest. You know, don't pet a burning dog. That's what we're doing. I mean, it's when it's like, why why do this? Why do any of this? Like this was the way that you know, it's funny. It reminds me there's this story of 1941, like that year, you know, the Battle of Britain, and and the the Nazis didn't have uh war plans to invade Britain. It was in a Hitler was completely confused why they just couldn't take the seas and he'd take the land. Like he didn't have this war interest there. That's why they're really there was nothing finalized about Operation Sea Lion and all that stuff. He wanted Levinstrom, he wanted the the living space, you know. This was and you read Mein Confits, the the whole thing's about anti-Bolshevik, you know, all that stuff. Wants to take out these Marxists. Well, you know, if you the modern historians will say, well, you know, Churchill's on the ropes and all this stuff. Well, he the Britain declared war on Germany. It's not the other way around. It was you know, September 1939. It was England declared war on Germany after they invaded Poland. And there's a whole story behind that. But if you go and look at like the records, uh, what was Churchill most worried about? Uh he was worried not that they would invade England and it's you know they'd have their aerial battles and stuff. Um, he was afraid that they would that the power of the Third Reich and all their land power and everything would just run through North Africa and through the rest of the you know colonized places of Great Britain, of the Empire, because they could have easily taken it. They'd have all these territories and all these resources and all these stuff. And instead, they did, you know, uh Hitler chose Operation Barbarossa, which was, again, which is in his book. I mean, that's what I always wanted was Levinstrom and to hit the Soviet Union on uh June 22nd. So that's what he did. And Churchill was absolutely relieved, you know. Well, it's kind of like us. I mean, if you look at the world uh as the United States, like we're losing dollar hegemony faster than anyone ever thought possible, faster than me. I didn't think I'd be sitting here, you know, talking about, you know, in the last three months, talking about, you know, five and a half thousand dollar gold. It's like I didn't think I'd be talking about that. I didn't think I'd be talking about you know $120 an ounce silver in you know Q1 of this year. Um, so you got rapid dedollarization. And so um we have to reset in order to be globally competitive. And we could have made some massive moves, especially um just scrapping the old Cold War setup of you know, all these treaties and tripwires that we have, and all these alliances made by men that are no longer alive, you know. I mean, it's just stuff that's just stupid, you know, because the Soviet Union uh is has been dead since I was 11 years old. Like things that you could have just smartly reworked. And I bet you countries like China, countries like Russia were worried that we might actually have a sane, you know, reworking of maybe you know, have the Monroe Doctrine uh re-clarified in this country. We have a you know, a hemispheric deal where we start working more trade alliances with our southern neighbors and open up the seas and other things like you know, just trade in general or reworking our tax code, um, inviting people to build here, focusing on internal economics and infrastructure investment than empire, which is disastrous, right? And you know, instead of the neocon fever dream of seven countries in five years post-9-11 and their third temple apocalyptic shithole that we wanted to build, that we want that they want us to die for, you know, and and build for them. Instead of doing that, we just, you know, do something completely different and actually make a new American century, which would be commerce, trade, and we could still have a massively great defense. I mean, work on the new technologies, um, lead the way, right? Be the shining city on the hill. Well, it probably was a relief to China and Russia that we just said, nope, we'll do whatever Israel says. You know, this great nation. This it it how did we get here? You know, it's that that that Nixon speech, you know. Did we come all the way for this? Is one of the things he said in his uh second inaugural, you know, or or or what was it? I think it was his is maybe it was his acceptance speech when he was uh renominated again in 68. And he's like, What a lot of because the height of the Vietnam War. We come all the way for this. You know, did we um did our boys die on in Normandy and Valley Forge for this? And you know, in Korea? Did we march all the way to for this? He's like, you know, the North Vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the United States. Only Americans can do that. And that's a great line. Only we can humiliate ourselves, but apparently um we're not even in control if you look at this vote. Like, who in their right mind, like even again, I that's not the future. And if they were smart enough to get to Congress, which maybe um I'm giving them way too much credit, a lot of these people are just placeholders, they're bought and paid. It takes about two million dollars to get a congressional seat, you know, and uh a lot of times that you just kind of selected, you know, through the primary process. But yeah, it's not like the old school. But so there's no political acumen because that's not the future. I promise you, in five years, especially with um the after effects, and God forbid it's as bad as I think it's going to be with the energy shock and the supply shock and what's going to happen to the markets. Um, this will be like we will not be integrating with the Israeli military because people will be sick of uh, you know, what these wars and what instability is doing to their bottom line. I mean, there was an article up on Drudge today about you know the the Emirates within Dubai, which was uh it still is a great place for entrepreneurs and other things. Like they're like doing everything they can to entice people to come back. I mean, the the the war is costing not just uh this country, but countries around the world and uh the supply issues and everything else. So I hopefully it doesn't go on forever, but we've definitely done some some real damage. And the United States has lost a lot of face and speaking of which, let's see, uh make sure I'm not miss anybody's comments. Tony, British diplomat Proud suggested sending prisoners to Ukraine, citing a shortage of prison space. They need people in London would save money. Yeah, that's that's pretty sick. I'm just so sick of these wars. Like they're completely unnecessary.

SPEAKER_00 34:24

Let's see.

SPEAKER_02 34:28

Uh Dustin Helms says, Howdy to my fellow Denison. Yeah, Denisonian. Good to see you, sir. Yeah, you too, Dennis. Good to see you too. Uh all right, let me see, make sure I didn't miss anybody. Yeah, one of the comp uh the Titanic was a giant insurance fraud. It was something like that. You know, JP Morgan missed it. Like missed his his seat on the Titanic. There's a whole rabbit hole for that. I I think those things can be really interesting, especially when they're all these people that like the Astors and the Melons and people that were on the ship that opposed the Federal Reserve, you know, it's 1912. There's something to it. I don't think we'd still be drawn to it, like as much historical fascination with it if there wasn't like a seed of something wrong with the scenario of the iceberg and all of that stuff with the Titanic. That's my take. Make sure there's uh let's see how rumbles do it. Let's see. Uh yeah, and I don't mean to neglect the rumble chat. It's two just two separate pages. Uh this is uh anarchist uh an artist, yeah. I think I know how that is. Pee Wee Herman's dad was one of the founding pilots of the Israeli Air Force. I really is that I know who this is. I really need to ask my mom if she still has the obitration cut out. Please send that to me if you s if you find it. That's interesting. Oh, history's not what you think it is, folks. Uh as Napoleon said it's a pack of lies agreed upon. All right. Uh let's see.

Dedollarization And The Real Gold Story

SPEAKER_02 36:27

Let's pull up this article uh over on Lou Rockwell and discuss. Thought about, you know, we can get into a little bit of precious metal stuff today, but the markets, they're they are weird. And uh I've been reading a lot of the intel about the uh supply for silver and like this completely unsustainable. The the markets right now, I mean it's it is not a reflection of reality. And that's okay. Um, you know, they're calm there as far as the metals are concerned. Like we're not whipsawing back between you know 5,000 and 4,500. And so these big swings aren't happening right now. Um, but it's definitely not true price discovery. We're not in price discovery at all, folks. I promise you that. Like if you're reading the metrics and the intel that I am right now, especially like just knowing what's happening with gold, like what the central banks are doing, and it's not about price. Like when you understand the system like that's being constructed like so rapidly, what I was mentioning earlier. You know, like we're losing dollar hegemony and dominance, and that will mean that we have to create a different way of paying bills and having a strong economy and all the rest because it's it's been based off kind of like a Bernie Madoff um Ponzi scheme, which even Bernie Madoff would blush at the amount of fraud that's built into this thing. But we have uh loss of dollar dominance happening rapidly in these countries. You know, it's they're just buying massive amounts of gold. Gold is the world's reserve currency, folks, and it's happening. And I mean, I look at these prices, I don't know what that means for the price of gold, but the scarcity of it and everything else, like the the valuation of it as money, super important to understand. And uh like right now, I if it's if some of it's Bitcoin, because I save Bitcoin uh primarily when someone uses Bitcoin to uh to buy gold from me or to buy so or use because we do no fees on Wolfpack. You go to Wolfpack.gold, you can use your Bitcoin to buy metals, and we don't we don't have any friction. I that's one of the decisions I made um back when I was on tinfoil hat in December of 2024, and I've been back since then. I'm gonna go back next month. Um but we don't have any fees, so I I save that Bitcoin. Uh so that's like my savings plan. I'll save, I'll save the the BTC. I haven't sold BTC and turned it into fiat in years, like unless it's a customer that wants to do it. But my me personally, I don't I do not do that. Um so whenever something's coming in that's cash, I'm turning it into gold. I I've got um, you know, I anything that I can have that's because gold is so liquid. So just something to think about, folks. I've that that's that's a summary of you know everything that I read this morning on Kitco. Supply shock for silver, central bank gold buying's still way up. Uh, Wall Street doesn't know what to do because you got the rise in energy prices and uh outflows of ETFs and all that's just short-term stuff. That's trader stuff. Um you got to think long term in the world of bulls and bears, be the wolf. All right. Uh last article for the day. Let's let's get into Caitlin Johnstone. Put this up on the screen. Lourockwell.com. You know, I was also looking at an article this morning, something popped in my head. This I thought I'd share with you, so you know you can have a chance of uh learning something from the show today. Uh so anti-war had a headline that said that uh Sebastian Guaca uh was pushing because he's part of the administration, which I didn't know. Um he's back, he wasn't the part of the first Trump administration, then he went into media and radio. Used to his show would come on after my show um years ago in San Antonio, and uh they gave me his book at the radio station. Anyway, he wants to attack Molly now, so that's one of the things he wants to do. Uh, he's he's he loves his wars, and I read his book, I think it's called Why We Fight, and this is back in 2018, into 2018, going in 2019. And so I sat down and read this book, and it had an interesting passage, and I've never been able to verify it, but it always struck me as something interesting. And if I even asked and talked to AI about it, and I lit a broad search, but this is in the book. The term fear and loathing, right? We think of fear and loathing in Las Vegas and Hunter S. Thompson and all that, fear and loathing. According to Gorka, it's doctrinal. The term fear and loathing refers to the populace itself in doctrinal simulations in strategy. Fear and loathing is the people. And then I I cross-references that to a political statement by Caligula, the Roman Emperor. Um, he's a bit deranged, I say a bit, um, like the embodiment of deranged, Caligula was. And he his his maxim was um they can hate so long as they fear. That was his political doctrine. They can hate so long as they fear. So I don't know. Something about that just stuck out in my mind this morning. I was reading headlines. Uh,

Trump And The Planned Iran Escalation

SPEAKER_02 42:17

LouRockwell.com, Caitlin Johnston. Uh, Trump is not a reluctant war president. America's latest forever war continues to ravage the Middle East as U.S. forces bomb Iran for the tenth consecutive night in a series of exchanges, which the New York Times have caused a significantly higher number of injuries to troops than the Pentagon has acknowledged. Of course it has. President Trump is saying that every time Iran kills an American soldier, they will pay for that killing many times over while simultaneously guaranteeing more Iranian retaliations with the ongoing onslaught, which could, of course, easily end up killing more U.S. troops. Amid these escalating hostilities, Yemeni forces have announced a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia as the ceasefire of the two nations have maintained since 2022 hurdles towards collapse. Trump inherited a ceasefire in the horrific war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia and seems to be flushing it right down the toilet, just like he inherited the Iran deal and torched it so he could start a war. He is a disgusting, evil war pig. One of the dumbest popular narratives you see today is the idea that Zionists persuaded a reluctant Trump to start a war with Iran after he was reelected. Like they were chasing him around. Like the guy from Green Green Eggs and Ham, while he yelled, not in the box, not with a fox, until he eventually caved in. It is now abundantly clear that this. War was planned a long time ago, not in 2026, not in 2025, not in 2024, and not even during the Biden administration. This was planned before Trump was ever elected president. He campaigned on tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, and that's exactly what he did once he got into office the first time around. Yeah, this um speaks to something I was mentioning earlier. Like, was this just all the plan all along? And what, you know, it such a major globalist victory to have something like the TPP, which was scrapped. Was it maybe you scrap it, you know, you gotta have build back better? Maybe there was like a a morsel to the populace and something even greater that they build. It's like I always feel like the movie Independence Day being a populist and being somebody who is clear, I'm clearly a like a real America first or you know, I have been when that phrase wasn't even supposed to be politely uttered, you know, in public. I did, you know. That was I was saying it before it was cool. But I it reminds me of uh the movie Independence Day when the president, you know, played by Bill Pullman, when he finally says, you know what, we're gonna nuke the bastards, you know, and he they go to Houston and they shoot the first nuke, you know, they're trying to destroy the alien spacecraft, and it has this massive you know blowback, and they think they got it. And then uh the guy's looking through the the nods on the night vision, and he's like, uh no, um target remains. That's how it's been, you know, through watching all this stuff, and yeah, that's why I seriously, uh folks, I'm so disinterested in politics at this point. I mean, I'm just like I it's not participatory. It's like it's why I don't watch professional sports. I just can't get into it. It's not me, you know. I'm interested in competition. I'm interested in stuff that I can make a difference in. Um, but what how do you you look at the vote on these Republicans? Like you're just held captive by these people. They're like, well, you know, do you like your Second Amendment? Well, yes, I do. Well, do you support the right to life? Absolutely. I I believe in uh life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe that every life has a you know a right to exist and all the rest of that. Like, okay, well, we're gonna take that and hold it, hold you hostage with these values, and also we're gonna have a foreign nation run your government. Oh, well, well, I didn't sign up for that. Well, you have to, you know, so welcome to Texas, you know, where we lowered the flag, Hapstaff or Lindsey Graham. You know, it's bizarre, and they it's such a good op. It it it is the um the master stroke of all ops that you're able to with this entire thing. You think of that the how better off the world would have been if you know American Christian values or traditional Western civilization values were able to be rightly expressed and taken to their logical conclusion. But you can't have that when you have what we have now, right? Which is again, it's fruit of a poisonous tree. You cannot escape this. It it cancels out everything that you do that's good. It's like we're pro-life, we protect children. Good. Now it's time for genocide in Gaza. What? I didn't sign on for that. Oh, now we have the Samson option, and you're tied to this. And you we you work for, I mean, what what is this? It is uh it's pretty disheartening, you know. And the fortunate part is exactly what I described though, is that the future will have uh a lot less of that. And um, unfortunately, we have to ride the wave um to get there. And it might be a third party or might be just a different grassroots movement. But if you notice, like every time the grassroots gets off the ground, and if you go back to 2007, December 16th, 2007, Ron Paul has the biggest one-day uh you know campaign success of any primary presidential candidate, I think, in history. Individual donors for sure. And that's the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, December 16th. And that was the Tea Party movement, right? And then you fast forward two, three years from then, when the Republicans sweep uh in the first term of Obama, the Tea Party was unrecognizable because of the Koch brothers, and it's completely hijacked. And then the same thing happened, you know. It's the same thing happened under the Santa Establishment revolution with Trump, you know, what MAGA is, right? Whatever that was or is, or it's clearly like it was always just dressing up, it was LARPing, it was never real, right? And I mean, I figured that out probably a a maybe I gave it six months into the first term presidency, and then I was like, what is this what we're doing with power? Is this what is this how we're executing? And the first one was way better than the second one. I mean, aside from the 2020 part and like the last little bit of it, but you there was there was a different signaling and different rhetoric, and you guys know this. So this has been planned, and she's absolutely right. Uh this is the feeling I got from the whole thing. Let's go back to uh go back to the article and then I'll uh he can yeah, he he campaigned on tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, which he did. Uh as soon as the deal was torched in 2018, the Trump administration began dramatically ramping up aggressions against Iran, smashing them with starvation sanctions and its maximum pressure campaign with the explicit goal of regime change and then escalating to the direct assassination of Iran's top military official, which is General Salomani. There was no reason to do that if the goal was peace. There was no reason to do that if your goal was to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The Iran deal was working. Iran was fully compliant. The escalations were the goal, yes. That is true. Trump has openly admitted to giving the Adelsons everything they wanted in exchange for the massive campaign donations which put him in the White House. In 2013, Sheldon Adelson made headlines by saying the U.S. should drop a nuclear bomb on the Iranian desert and then say, see, the next one is in the middle of Tehran in order to scare the Iranians into groveling. Well, if you remember, and this is just how dumb like things have gotten, but uh Trump actually uh this was uh last year. It was about the the tweet or the truth post uh uh evacuate Tehran immediately, unconditional surrender, all caps, like uh it talked about ending civilizations and stuff. Like, oh this has never happened, you know. And what what do you do now? Like you do do we escalate? I think has this always been about escalation? Perhaps it has been. Do we drag it out? I mean, this is a tool and a backdrop for people to loot the markets, right? For instance, this is this has insider trading, uh this has grift, and then you can also uh satiate the uh demonic neocon forces in in the power structure that are just salivating, you know, uh for this war or for more war, just for the sake of it, you can you know keep them satisfied. So it's a win-win if you've got no soul. Everything we've been seeing throughout the second Trump term makes it glaringly obvious that the only reason he'd receive the oligarchic and institutional support necessary to become an American president was because he had provided enough powerful people with enough reassurance that he would do what no other president had dared to do: start a war with Iran. All that we have seen throughout 2026 has been the seeds of those early assurances coming to fruition. All of those murdered school children, all the dead and injured U.S. soldiers, the bombed-out civilian infrastructure, the blackened skies, the blockades, the fear, the economic strife. This was all planned years ago with the full complicity of a psychopathic monster who wanted to become president. Yeah. He campaigned on ending wars and he was lying the whole time. He wasn't pressured and persuaded. He was an active and eager participant. Yeah, that really sums it up better. I remember, you know, in God love them, you know, people want um they want hope. But I remember my first uh like first year back in radio, and I'd be reading the headlines, and I'd go, you know, going through the Trump does this but does the opposite kind of thing, you know, and I'd go, this can't be right. People say, Oh, he's surrounded. He is just he's trying to do God's work, he's just surrounded. And I'm like, well, unsurround yourself. I mean, it's like, you know, we people are funny, and they'll ascribe so much valor and so much uh courage to these politicians. It's funny, I was I remember I was a little boy, I was you know, maybe seven or eight years old, and I was sitting with my dad, and we were watching uh uh a PBS documentary, like he just flipping through the channels. It's like late at night. And uh the guy started talking about prostitution, and in my mind, I I could I couldn't understand what he was talking about. And I go, are the are I I turned to my dad, I said, um, so aren't prost is prostitution as the as a prostitute, is that a someone who runs for office? Because I was confused it with politician. He just laughed. He's got, you know, sin it's kind of the same thing. It is, but

Narcissism Empathy And War Logic

SPEAKER_02 55:00

worse. I mean, because you get these um narcissistic, and that's probably one of the worst human traits, um like lack of empathy. Like that's when you know somebody's really intelligent, they have a lot of empathy because they have they're scanning not only their environment, but other people for possible outcomes. And and by the way, empathy is a is a really good detection of threat. If you're a complete psychopathic, narcissist, sociopath, um, your chances of survival are lower. And actually, you lower the survival rate for everyone else around you because you don't know what a threat is because you think you're the greatest thing, right? And and they live in this weird uh polarity where they deep down inside they know they're uh less or they're not doing the right thing, but they have to act a certain way and put on like this persona, which that's the the word persona is Latin for mask. Like so, like personality is a mask, so they wear this thing and um they create their own character, but it's all a cover-up, you know. And so again, it's like think about that. That narcissism lowers the survivability of not just that person, it lowers their chances of a good outcome because they have lack of understanding. So like empathy is not weak. Empathy, um, if you can like that's why I look at it's unnecessary war, you know. I would beg to say that it probably somebody, you know, because I would agree with uh the concept of like fighting to win, but I don't agree with things like total, you know, unconditional surrender. It's like, well, if they surrender, then you win. I mean, what why do you need to be unconditional? They can't have there's no terms. Does you dictate the terms? So they won't have a we have just Treaty of Versailles after Treaty of Versailles, you know, perpetual cycles of uh you know revenge and recycled hatreds and other things like that. It's ridiculous. Bronx Stomper one-on-one. Only sport I watch is a rodeo. Hey, you know what? But it's kind of interactive because at least, you know, on the rodeo, you can go out and maybe like at half the halfway time, you can go see if you can catch the little uh tag they put on the calf and stuff, you know. Uh harps says I stopped watching uh TV news back around 2000. Well, that 2000 harps is when they in the in the United States of America is when they switched the color codes for you know Democrats and Republicans, and the Democrats became uh blue and the Republicans became red. Before that, it was the opposite. Uh you gotta love Psyops. You know, they're fun. All right, let me see. Anybody else got any comments and then we'll we'll get you guys out of

Spot Prices And Final Sign Off
