Step into the arena of economic nationalism with me, as we dissect the forces shaping international power dynamics and question the status quo. Reflecting on the David Knight Show, we dove into the intricacies of tariffs and economic history, offering you crucial insights beyond the typical media rhetoric. As I recount my personal educational rebellion, fueled by Pat Buchanan's wisdom and lessons from a bimetallic currency past, we'll challenge the educational norms and inspire a pursuit of deeper knowledge that could redefine your understanding of America's place in the global hierarchy.
Prepare to reframe your perspective on the workings of global trade as we scrutinize the seismic shifts caused by trade deficits and tariffs. Through a historical lens, we chart the journey from Henry Ford's industrial mastery to the stark warnings of Ross Perot, culminating in an examination of current administration policies that once seemed anathema to political elites. This provocative narrative peels back the layers of bipartisan consensus, revealing the raw impact on American industry and prompting us to ponder the true motives and implications of these economic pivots on the nation's future.
As we bid farewell to Klaus Schwab's tenure at the World Economic Forum, we question the implications of his departure and the organization's vision of global governance. Casting a critical eye on secret societies and the Great Reset, against the backdrop of historical milestones like the gold standard's demise and China's rise, we'll explore whether the architects of the new world order have overplayed their hand. Wrapping up, we'll entertain the controversial prospect of a return to a gold standard, dissecting its historical significance and contemplating the transformative potential of precious metals in a fiat currency world. Join me for this enlightening journey that promises to arm you with the foresight to navigate our complex economic reality.

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. I'm William Cooper. The chair is against the wall. 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 or behind the lines, this is your song Time, weather and highway.
Speaker 1:Veteran of three foreign wars, entrepreneur and warrior, poet, tony Arterburn takes on the issues facing our country, civilization and planet. This is the Arterburn Radio Transmission. Thank you, all right, it's the official broadcast of the apocalypse. Ladies and gentlemen, weapons grade truth. Cutting edge, counterculture Conservative radio. Cutting edge counter culture, conservative radio. If you want to use that moniker, I really don't anymore. I don't know why. It's a habit and beans tells me to use that phraseology. Beans is the producer of the show. The brave. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the 23rd of may 2024. Just got done with the interview I do.
Speaker 1:Usually every Thursday I am on the David Knight Show, which is a huge privilege because it warms me up for my show, and I mean how can I have a bad show if I exercise my mind talking to the great David Knight. We went over some really interesting subject matter to me, right? If you're, if you study economic history, if you're kind of a nerd and you live in the past a lot and I love history. So he was talking about tariffs and we'll get into that a little bit today, just because I think it's huge. If you're going to tune into, you have so many thousands of choices and you want to tune into a program and you tune into my show, you want to know. I mean, you want to obviously be entertained, but you also want to have a little bit of an edge, like what are you? What's this golden silver guy thinking? Who's an alternative media is broadcaster. What's he thinking about? What's he see in the future? Cause you want to have a little bit of a leg up or an advantage over others. That's the whole point, right? This is a show. This is open source Intel. This is a show. This is open source intel. This is a show about thinking in our current climate, in our current time.
Speaker 1:I'm looking at the headlines and I I remember there was a show called fringe. I really like it. It was back in the mid 2000s. It was about a parallel, uh, reality, a parallel dimension, where it's kind of like the same but different. And I'm looking at I think that's what I'm looking at I'm like through the looking glass, taking a look at drudge and drudge headlines has nothing to do with anything that's important or nothing to do with what's the all the issues that are, I mean, just raining down on us. It's, it's worthless, it's, it's a, it's a mouthpiece, it is a projection from the deep state. Is all this is. And these media outlets and they're just wasting your time. They're not even talking about the things that are real. I'm looking at it, apparently, so we can talk a little bit about how strange it is.
Speaker 1:I mean, if the average person and you just consume mainstream media, or maybe you just went up to do, say, I didn't pay attention in school, uh, they thought there was something wrong with me. I had to go to the special classes or what's why? Why he seems intelligent, he likes books, why won't he do his school? I'm not interested, so I was never interested. Thank God I wasn't interested in in the curriculum, so I wasn't fed too much of the mainstream narrative. I mean, obviously you get some by osmosis and you get the Rockefeller school system the bell rings. You know you have to go to the next thing Like you're a shift worker. That's how all that was designed. You know kindergarten, which is a German, you know it comes from the Prussian traditions of just keeping in. You know the, the correct soldiers, the correct worker bees. But I didn't absorb too much and so I studied my own things. I went my own way. I got to watch my dad, who was a uh entrepreneur, uh builder bank. You know, had a, had a bank at at in his late twenties, chartered it, built it from the ground up, had convenience stores, fuel. I knew about the dollar. I knew about dollar. I knew about energy. I learned a lot just by being around.
Speaker 1:I was always interested, especially as a teenager and then going into my early 20s, going into the military. I would read Pat Buchanan and other things about nationalism. I was fascinated with the argument of what the media termed at the time in the mid-90s, was called isolationism. It's isolationism because you know Pat Buchanan was running in the mid-90s. You know, bring the troops home. You know we don't need to have America's not designed to go abroad in search of monsters to destroy, to, to channel John Quincy Adams and all these things, and I agreed with that.
Speaker 1:It made total sense to me. I'm like we're stronger if we consolidate. We're too stretched out and you know, we're in this globalist game and why don't we just work on the Republic? It just sounded so much more attractive to me. But then you start reading about well, how did we become great, how did we become so wealthy and powerful and have this manufacturing marvel of mankind? How wealthy and powerful, and have this manufacturing marvel of mankind? How were we the arsenal of democracy, to quote the elites, how did we have 50% of the world's wealth and 5% of the world's population in the 1950s? Well, the reason was in large part, aside from what I talk about every single week, which is having a bimetallic standard for your currency. So it's backed by something backed by precious metals, so it's harder to defraud the American people, it's harder to build a deep state, but we had something called economic nationalism.
Speaker 1:It's really important to understand what economic nationalism is, what it was, and then how it was opposed, to really grasp how strange it is, how Twilight Zone weird it is to have the same people who fought against economic nationalism and derided it and called all of us. You know that we were just throwbacks, troglodytes that didn't know. You know that were somehow it's steeped in racism or anti-Semitism. I'm serious, this is how you could be. Economic nationalism was tied to all sorts of things because it goes against the globalist playbook. So let's just start with our history.
Speaker 1:Okay, the second act out of Congress was the Tariff Act. The second one, 1789. The second act out of Congress was the Tariff Act. That was to establish that we were going to charge foreign imports for the privilege of accessing our markets, foreign imports for the privilege of accessing our markets. And you know this, this comes down to Alexander Hamilton, who really set up our first, you know the, the, the bank, right, the national bank. But he was, uh, in economically. He read Adam Smith, he he'd read the wealth of nations and he said but I, you know again, that's it's almost fantasy Free trade, it nation is on par with someone else. And so in an international scope and I'll get to this and what happened with our economic nationalism? It was ditched to enrich multinationals. So the second act out of Congress was the Tariff Act, that's to establish a tariff. All four presidents on Mount Rushmore supported tariffs. Every figure on our paper currency supported tariffs, every single one.
Speaker 1:That's how they ran the government. 70% of all of the revenue that was collected by the federal government was based off of foreign imports. It's based on tariffs. So if you wanted to access the markets of the United States of America, you had to pay a fee. That's where there was no income tax. That wasn't even thinkable by our founding fathers. They would have never. Well, it was thinkable. They made sure that it was unconstitutional, but they would have never thought to punish people. That's a gangster view, that's a globalist view, that's a Marxian view. To punish and to make sure that you have an underclass that can never compete with the super elite right, that's what that's for.
Speaker 1:So we had a, we built this manufacturing marvel known as the United States of America, and it it was. It was prosperous and it had. We created jobs, especially after the, you know, post-industrial revolution. And there was prosperous and we created jobs, especially after the post-industrial revolution. And there was some fights between the South and the North. The North was more industrial, the South was agrarian, they relied on a lot of the foreign imports and they had fights back and forth. One of the fights was the tariff of abominations the North wanted to place tariffs on all these incoming things because they wanted to corner those markets. So there is arguments we've even had internally, but over time we protected and this is why it was called protectionism. We protected our home markets against foreign intervention Because a lot of times these companies that would come and compete, even in the 19th century and early 20th century, they'd be subsidized by their governments. It's warfare, they're subsidized by their governments to go in and take over a market.
Speaker 1:I was talking today with David Knight and I mentioned my friend Congressman Ralph Hawley. He's one of the last people to stand up for the steel workers in the United States and he was a Republican congressman from East Texas. But he was one of the only voices because the modern Republican Party had abandoned economic nationalism and he was writing letters to the Commerce Department and to the executive branch about how the South Korean government and its companies they were subsidizing, dumping tons of aluminum into the markets to bring down our own markets, to compete and again to dominate steel made here in the United States. It's all warfare, right? So we had those internal fights. We had those internal fights, but somewhere along the way, post-world War II especially, there's this great if you go back and look, there's an article.
Speaker 1:When I first went on the air 11 years ago, I brought this up and it was who won the war. It had a picture on one side. It showed Detroit in 1945, and next to it was Hiriroshima, after, uh, august 6, 1945, and one was, you know, this thriving metropolis and had all these things. Everything is this. It's booming and there's people everywhere and there's factories and it's beautiful. And then it shows hiroshima and it's, you know, been hit by the, the atomic weapon, and it was obliterated and it's a wasteland. And it says, well, who won the war? Because you fast forward to 2011 or 12. And then, all of a sudden, there's Detroit, looks like Hiroshima, and you know, hiroshima is looking like Detroit did, or better, and the reason was is because we abandoned all the things that made us great. We abandoned economic nationalism, we abandoned strategy on purpose, right, you? You don't. This isn't something that they just do stupidly. I mean, it's all on purpose.
Speaker 1:You can see the timeline when america america was put on a chopping block. It was slated for demolition. You can go like, like I talked about this morning, klaus Schwab, and we've got an article from DavidEichcom I want to go over by my friend Richard Willett. Klaus Schwab just stepped down from the World Economic Forum. Well, it's the same timeline as when we went off the gold standard, when we got a fiat currency, and then that timeline is the trilateral commission, the next year, and then the next year we run our last trade surplus.
Speaker 1:I follow that really closely, because when you run trade deficits which is what we started running past 1974, where does that money go? So if you have a disparity, so if you take in, you know a hundred billion Right, but you don't export twenty five billion Right. So you got, you got a seventy five billion dollar trade deficit. I mean, you know a society that really captured the ingenuity. We had the Henry Fords of the world. What happened? Well, again, in order to take us down, you had to pawn America's soul. So you had this internal thing. Buchanan called it the Great Betrayal. He actually wrote a book it's behind me on my shelf in 1997, called the great betrayal. So America was betrayed, right? This goes on up until the 90s.
Speaker 1:Ross Perot ran a camp in 1992. He called it the giant sucking sound. He's talking about NAFTA, which was the North American Free Trade Agreement. The money was all behind NAFTA. The people that opposed NAFTA were old school conservatives, not these new neocon, and we'll get into that in a second. I'm going to teach you some history. You probably don't know because they don't talk about this on mainstream conservative talk radio, but they all of the uh proponents of nafta were all funded by multinational corporations. You can see the off the chart profits that they made. And again, perot was right it was a giant sucking sound. These corporations abandoned their home countries. That made them wealthy and they would leave in a Darwinian contest to go somewhere else to ship those products back free of charge into the United States of America to the same people that they just put out of work. So you're creating a giant. This is also part of the Cloward and Piven program, right, the economists from the 1960s? Just destroy it by destroying the welfare system and the entitlement system.
Speaker 1:So NAFTA had all the money. It had all the news media. It had all the politicians politicians aside from my friend Congressman Ralph Hall. He voted against NAFTA. He's one of the lone voices that voted against NAFTA in 1992 and onwards 93. But NAFTA passed under Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1:But both parties agreed. See, both parties agree on endless war. Both parties agree on the open borders, you can still get the people that are in the periphery, still get the people that are in the periphery. But if I'm wrong, then why don't we have you know, why isn't the real opposition to any of the power structure? When you're talking about the duopoly of the of the two parties, I mean I'm I'm long since a stepped away from arguing with anybody who's partisan. At this point. If you're partisan, you just don't get it. You just don't. You're never going to get it, because obviously the thing, the machine, continues, regardless of who you vote for. But the power structure, the media, the politicians, george W Bush, everybody want to have a beer with the guy. Yeah, 90 days after 9-11, 90 days on the anniversary of when Hitler declared war on the United States on December 11th 1941, george W Bush gave most favored trading status to the communist Chinese. Do you understand what that means too?
Speaker 1:Like just following that, we lost and I know this by heart we lost 55,000 factories in the coming years and under the Bush administration, 55,000, one in three manufacturing jobs disappeared. The Bush administration actually, because they'd had so many manufacturing job disappearances, it was so catastrophic. They changed the rules and made fast food workers, manufacturers, because they built sandwiches. Look it up. Okay, that's how devastating it was for us to lose what made us great in the first place. So I go on to say this and I'm giving you a quick history lesson by the way, maybe I can find it while I'm talking, because I just thought of it. I want to read you a quote, if I can find it. But that's what made us great. So we were building all this wealth and we had the ability to sustain ourselves.
Speaker 1:We didn't have to import everything and, like I said earlier today, something Buchanan echoed, if it can be made here, it should be made here. Maybe we protect that market, and if it can't be made here, that should be a free trade all the way in. If you can't make it here, we can't source it. Bring it in free, no charge.
Speaker 1:So in theory, I'm a huge economic nationalist, but what's just happened is that Biden has come out and is supporting tariffs and, because I know this history, it's mind-blowing and it's unsettling. What does this mean? This is a complete departure from everything that he is. It's almost the equivalent of him coming out. And I said almost. It's almost the equivalent of him coming out and saying you know, a fetus is a living human being and we must protect it at all costs. It would be him doing a pivot to pro-life, or him stopping sniffing kids or something like it would be like it would be a huge departure from his character or his belief systems. And what's even weirder is that the, the mainstream media and the power structure who deride. I mean, I would talk about having tariffs and I'm. You should see the stuff that I would get, the hate that I would get just by proposing what thomas jefferson and teddy roosevelt and abraham lincoln and andrew jackson right, all these and ben franklin proposed. I got all sorts of hate from both the so-called republican conservative establishment and from everybody else. They're saying that you're a throwback. It's. I mean, I got from your. This is racism, this is nationalism, all that, but it's silent. So you have the president of the United States, or whatever he is. You have the, you have the figurehead of the selection. He's coming out for tariffs. What does that mean? Of the selection, he's coming out for tariffs. What does that mean? Well, it means, in my opinion, that we've got a strange road ahead of us.
Speaker 1:I want to try to find. This quote is and I'm. I'll just paraphrase it if I can't find it. Oh, let's, let's see. I it's, it's so good, it's, it's some, it's somebody that you abandoned that I have a hard time communicating this sometimes. It's been so long abandoned.
Speaker 1:The strangeness of the establishment coming back and reversing themselves with no opposition is a huge tell. So, if you take anything away from what I just talked about, it's a huge tell. It's so funny when you go to look for something like these new search engines. They're just awful and like I just, I just want the quote. You know, like I want the quote, not the article on the quote. Like I just want the quote. Let's see if we can find it on one more time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll give, this is a part of the quote, but in general, the protective system of our day, meaning tariffs, is conservative. Yeah, this is part of the quote, but in general, the protective system of our day, meaning tariffs, is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the revolution. Therefore, gentlemen, I am for free trade. Do you know who said that? Karl Marx. See, karl Marx was for all the things that the establishment's for. If you look at the Communist Manifesto and the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto, you get the central bank is bank is, I think, the fifth plank. Um, you know the, the abolition of private property, all this, all this stuff, the nationalization of industry, everything that karl marx was for, which is what the elites are for in general. But this is one of the underlying themes is why you would always see the super elite would would be like oh, we don't need any borders. Uh, nafta is really good. Again, it's a way to hasten. This is what it did. It hastened the revolution. It hastened the destruction of the classes. It hastened the destruction of the middle class. It hastened the destruction of a nation. It takes away its soul.
Speaker 1:So again I pivot back to Biden coming out for tariffs. It's one of the most frightening things I've seen in a while, because I don't know, even know what I'm looking at. What is this? And especially when there's just silence. So they're just all supporting. When Trump, trump did it and he did some, there was a lot of pushback. This is crazy. The media and the Paul Krugmans of the world, silence. So something is afoot. This has really nothing to do with tariffs. These are acts of war. And if you don't have the economic conditions internally to incentivize companies to move here and build here and do things here, but you just still have the taxes, there's something wrong like so we're not creating the conditions and inviting companies to come here, build our economy with us. This has nothing to do with our economy. These are acts of war late. So I don't support these tariffs, which is a a weird thing for me.
Speaker 1:I believe in things that really you can't even do anymore because the power structure doesn't have the integrity and they don't work for us. The power structure of this country does not work for this country. It works for other entities, whether it's I was talking with David this morning it's a spiritual thing. They serve something else. It's a spirit of destruction. It's a spirit of control. It's not a spirit of lifeward building and greatness and achievement. This is not the same country, because you have a globalist occupying force controlling everything. That's how you get elected for the most part. It's not all the time, but if you want to have a certain status or get to a certain office, you have to believe these things.
Speaker 1:So if you take anything away from the first half of the show. This is weird, it is unsettling and it needs to be. You need to pay close attention to all of this. It's kind of like what I've talked about. If you don't know the history, then it seems kind of just. Well, I guess we're going to support Taiwan now. Just before I was born, we just gave it. We stopped having diplomatic relations with Taipei, we got rid of our, we cut ties with them and said, hey, china, we recognize the one China policy, see. So these departures are very strange. All right, we're going to move on.
Speaker 1:But you, when you see these headlines pop up in the future and I, you know Trump's talking about having tariffs and stuff again, I just at this point I think we'd have to have a complete reckoning of what we're even doing we have. I mean, first of all, the consumption tax needs to the fair tax needs to be brought back up. Tax needs to the fair tax needs to be brought back up. We need to figure out how, if we're going to fund the government or whatever, which you know taxation is, is stepped. There's ways to do it with tariffs, there's ways to do it with fees and other things that are not based off of like you could. You could kill the, the corporate income tax and Buchanan. We've done the math on this. People, smarter people than me, have done the math on this. You can kill the corporate income tax for everything.
Speaker 1:Say move here, build your things here, and you don't have to pay a tariff. If you don't, you have to pay a tariff. See, there'd be strategy there. But this is no strategy. This is just throwing things out there. These are acts of war to punish individual nations. That's not what the entire tariff structure was built for, so there's something afoot. All was built for, so there's something afoot.
Speaker 1:All right, I've got, I've got an interesting rest of the show for you. I let's, let's talk about a ding dong. The witch is dead. This is Klaus. Well, I, I, I try to celebrate some of these moves, but then the person who knows history kicks in a little bit and I think, wow, um, when you get rid of one monster, do you get uh, you know 10, 10 more that are worse. You know, it's like history doesn't always show. We got rid of the figure heads, you get it.
Speaker 1:Klaus Schwab is stepping down. Let me see, let me put this on the screen. Klaus Schwab is stepping down from the WEF. This is davidikecom. Klaus Schwab to vacate top post, does WEF looks to become global leader in public-private cooperation? Anybody who knows what I just said. Isn't that interesting? Public-private cooperation and Richard Willett puts this in quotations the cooperation part that's the textbook definition of fascism. If you look it up, it's the actual textbook definition.
Speaker 1:Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the WEF, will step down from his leadership role, according to Semaphore. Meanwhile, a WEF spokesperson said the organization is transforming from a convening platform to the leading global institution for public-private cooperation. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, will step down from his leadership role. According to Semaphore, schwab, 86, has headed the WEF since 1971. He reportedly announced his decision in an email sent today to his staff. I guess he's getting out that email before that cyber polyglot. At press time there was no mention of Schwab's decision to step down on the WEF website or media accounts. According to Semaphore, schwab will transition to a role as non-executive chairman pending the Swiss government's approval of the change, which is expected to become official by January 2025.
Speaker 1:Public-private cooperation Isn't that interesting. 2020 and the high strangeness and the acceleration of Agenda 2030, which is all what this is, folks. It's the acceleration, when you know the term, the Great Reset. So many people understand what this is now. But we also have 50-plus years to look back and let's give a scorecard on how all this worked out. So you know, schwab founds the World Economic Forum in 1971.
Speaker 1:In the United States, nixon takes us off the gold standard August 15th 1971. The dollar and every other currency on earth followed becomes a free-floating fiat currency backed by nothing. This is, I think these are not coincidences. I think these are things that go together like the plan to remake the world. They're thinking long term. It's what this has all been about, because the timeline shows me a remaking of the old order into the new world order, which is and there's something they talk about all the time you have to break apart. Like Karl Marx says, it breaks down old nationalities, it breaks down the old systems, it pits class against each other. You don't even know what's happening, like it's a giant magic trick. It's something that, if you look the movie wall street 1987, gordon Gekcko talks about that you know he's like we pulled that rabbit out of the hat a long time ago.
Speaker 1:Everybody keeps wondering how we did it, how we keep doing it? Well, it's because you have information and you have understanding that the average person doesn't, and especially the the media class that's schooled and indoctrinated and in the system itself. So it's kept hidden, right. That's why a cult, the occult, just means hidden. So you're talking about secret societies and you're talking about secret oaths and secret. You know these it's a big club and you ain't in it, but it's really not that big. You know there's a very small group of people. They get together and they plan this stuff and you can look back on it and see the timeline If you're paying attention.
Speaker 1:71, world Economic Forum. 71, and we go off the gold standard. Gold's $35 an ounce, and then it just starts going all over the place because the dollar's tethered by nothing. 72, we opened China. China was a backwater. It had nuclear weapons. It got them in 1964. Mao got nuclear weapons, but they were still just pretty much a backwater. Now we opened China. We wrest them away from the monolithic communist bloc, if you believe in that, and so they become more of a tie to the West.
Speaker 1:1973 is the birth of the Trilateral Commission. 1974 is the last year that America runs a trade surplus. So from our history, like that's from our history. We stopped being what we were designed to be around that time and the average person doesn't know what just happened. The world changed dramatically. We became something else and what we became is and you're starting to see, in the vision of these people like Klaus Schwab we become a vassal state, we become an economy sector of the new world order. That's the design the good news is and, like I just said, design the good news is and, like I just said, they really had a lot more higher expectations of where I think where they would be in this simulation. I think I think when everything happened around covid, 1984 and all the stuff.
Speaker 1:And then people like the average person and I know this because I talk to everyday people in between my two locations, whether I'm in texas or I'm in branson, missouri I'm talking to people, just average people. For the first time they're buying precious metals or they're calling to ask me about things and they're just more engaged than ever. Because this all this weirdness is they know klaus schwab's name. Almost nobody did. I was talking.
Speaker 1:I was this obscure radio host following Mark Levin on Freedom 1160 in San Antonio. I have my nightly show and I'd get on there and talk about the Great Reset. This is in late 2018, going into 2019. It was my second stint in radio so I was like let's do something totally different. And I was talking about all this. That seems quaint now and I started seeing that's one of the reasons I relocated my shop and got up into the Ozarks and stuff because I started just drilling down, looking at the research, seeing just how far we had fallen.
Speaker 1:You know, going to Washington DC, seeing that the politicians, even when you're on a giant radio row wanting to talk to them about immigration and illegal immigration, they don't want to talk to you. Not really, they don't want to give you any time. So I started to make choices. I'm like, well, I'm going to be putting myself up here and I'm. I know this is coming, but now the average person is probably somewhere around. I mean, if you're paying attention, so the average person who's paying attention, that's consuming. And now they're consuming more alt media and some of it's good, some of it's bad. It's not all perfect, but they're at least engaged and they're asking questions. They know who this guy is.
Speaker 1:These are Bond villains. They're literally just bond villains. I mean they super elite, they traffic and depopulate. They don't offer you anything. It's like the 2016 commercial, which I played on my show long before 2020. And I would say, yeah, they say they want you to own nothing and be happy. There's a great. They talk about a great reset. What is this? On the, I'd see the financial pressure coming down, especially know I knew how much, how much the federal reserve bank was pushing you know trillions of dollars into the repo markets and that was something the mainstream media didn't cover at all. I'm like they're just creating trillions of new dollars. Well, there was something wrong, right, right. But now people know, which is awesome. People know who this guy is, what he traffics in.
Speaker 1:It's global elite depopulation. They offer you nothing. You'll own nothing. You'll be happy. They offer you nothing. There's no vision. It's like in the Bible says without a vision, my people perish. Yeah, there's no vision here. It's kind of like communism. Wait, it is right, that's what it is Pure and simple, just communism. They offer it in a different way. It's kind of like the multinational corporations today using ESG, which is environmental, social governance. You get rewarded for making trendy, woke business decisions, regardless of profit. People say, if you go woke, you go broke in these companies and all of a sudden, you look and their stock's up. They lost millions or billions in the real world, but their stock is up. It's because this is a game. It's a game by the elites to corner all wealth and control all things. Right, and we're in the middle, so it's good to kind of just see where all this is going. We're in the middle, so it's good to kind of just see where all this is going.
Speaker 1:The way I picture them, you know, just constantly trying to uh channel allister crowley or something like that's. That's the way I see the elites. I mean, just not nothing better to do, but just have this dark energy. Well, I, I'm, I'm looking at these headlines and saying there's a mixed bag. I think there's silver linings in all of this and these people, I think they're worn out.
Speaker 1:It reminds me of the story, because there's so much. Like you know, god gave us so many gifts. One of them is every human being is inborn. You have free will, you have a choice to make like you can. It's like the story of the two, the Cherokee, uh, uh, parable about the, the two wolves. You know, one is, one is light and one is dark, and which one, uh, survives, you know, is the one you feed, right? So? But every human being has a choice to make, and every human being I built this is what I believe has an inborn ability to just like God.
Speaker 1:You become a creator, and that doesn't mean you become a billionaire or something like don't even measure it with money. I'm just saying you make something beautiful, whether it's a, you have a wonderful family or you become you know, it's your job. You do something magnificent or just whatever it is that you manifest through your, your actions, your decisions, what you do the Greeks called it are a tape, which is just like embodying excellence, right? So, when you have, when you have that inborn gift from God Almighty, it's impossible to forever put people under the yoke of a soul-destroying ideology like Marxism, like communism, like globalism, because you're not a hackable animal, like Yuval Harari says. You're not a hackable animal, you're a person, you have a soul, you have inborn value just by existing, and in you is a piece of what the gift God gives you, that piece, that link to the divine which is to make something of yourself. And again, it has nothing to do with if you want to chase wealth, then it's wealth, but it has nothing to do with wealth. It has everything to do with your fulfilling God's plan for you, and that's why it always blows up in their face. If you look at human beings like they're a hackable animal. Again, that's the World Economic Forum, yuval Harari. These are the way these people traffic in. They see useless eaters something Henry Kissinger said but that's how they think.
Speaker 1:Ted Turner, who probably allegedly funded the Georgia Guidestones, was blown up two years ago. We covered that on Paratruth. We did a Georgia Guidestones episode. I'll have to rerun that sometime. But they want to reduce the population. He said 95%. That's insane. Who gets to make these decisions? That's what the elite look at. You, look at the average person say oh, everybody's in the way, which is funny because they need us to run them. They think they can do all this and build this AI utopia. It reminds me of something Pat Buchanan said. He was arguing with an economist over an automated economy and the guy says well, the robots are going to take over. Pat says somebody's got to make the robots and over. Pat says somebody's got to make the robots. And I always remember that somebody's got to make the robot. Yeah, somebody's got to make the robot. Somebody has robots, don't make themselves.
Speaker 1:Unless you get to like Terminator level Skynet stuff, which you know, is it possible? Well, with enough Satanism, I guess you know, you can inject enough Luciferian, uh, bankster notes into something and maybe just a little help from the devil maybe you could make it. But you guys get my point. So the silver lining is somewhere in there. You find out where it is.
Speaker 1:I mean, we're on so many changes, so many things are going on. It is disconcerting, it is unsettling, and especially when I know history decently you know, I'm not Don Jeffries, but I know it pretty well and I'm looking at the headlines going what, what planet did I wake up on? What is this and what does this do? Like what does these, the departures, these people have like a one second there, you know free traders, a second they're, you know free traders. You know, and, uh, we're going to put tariffs on something. Really, the last president to really do that was, um, was Ronald Reagan, and they came to Reagan and said uh, mr President, um, we're about to lose Harley Davidson and he goes. Why he goes? Well, because we have all these free trade agreements and the Japanese are dumping these large bikes, the larger motorcycles. They're just so much cheaper and they're killing our national brand. And so he slapped a 50% tariff on all larger bikes not the smaller ones, but the larger ones and he saved Harley-Davidson. It worked. Intervention in that instance worked.
Speaker 1:I remember I said that in my candidate interview to the Dallas Morning News newspaper and they thought that I was funny. They thought that was a really hokey kind of quaint throwback, that my viewpoint on economics was very simplistic. Well, we'll see who was right. They thought my trade deficit talk was outlandish. I said that we would hit a trillion dollars in trade deficits. We did, but what did I know? Just studying the past. All right, let's see what else we can get into before.
Speaker 1:Oh, I said today, also on the David Knight show that, steve Forbes, let's take out this article by Steve Forbes. It is crazy where and I think he's right on this, let me stop this screen there is a new world's reserve currency on the horizon. It's not the dollar and it's not bricks, and I want to put this in. And it's not bricks and I want to put this in motion, it's gold. This is Kitco Signs that a global gold standard is gaining traction. Steve Forbes, I'm not a huge Steve Forbes fan, but I think he's right about stuff like this. He's been talking about gold for a long time and the dollar and how they correlate. There are multiple indications that the world is progressing towards a transition to a new gold standard, according to Steve Forbes. It's hard to believe, but the world is beginning to lurch toward a gold-based monetary system, forbes wrote in an article published May 21st this despite the fact that the historical gold standard is held in almost universal contempt by economists and financial officials.
Speaker 1:Exactly this is another one of my points. Do you see, John Maynard Keynes? Gold is a barbarous relic. If you support tariffs, you're a throwback. You're a nationalist. You're an isolationist. You don't know what. You're a troglodyte. You don't even know what you're talking about. But wait a minute. Who is buying all the gold? It's the central banks, ladies and gentlemen. It's the central banks around the world. They're buying it at a record clip we've never seen before since the 19th, in the modern era.
Speaker 1:He's exactly right about this. So those two things put together. The world is changing. They want to keep you thinking in the old paradigm as long as possible. It's in their best interest to keep the shadow of the old system intact. It's a shell, it's a paper tiger, it's fake. They keep the old system, the old retirement accounts, all the stuff.
Speaker 1:I bought some mining stocks recently. I'm up like 240%. I'm just dabbling in and buying a little bit of silver mining because there's not a lot of silver miners. I don't really buy a lot of stocks but I buy some, I dabble in it, I get some stocks, but where is there even value anymore? This is an open question.
Speaker 1:He said that, despite the many myths and previous ignorance surrounding the gold-based money, it worked very well for a long time. The US was on a gold-based system for 180 years, until the 1970s. Forbes wrote we never had inflation when the dollar's value was tied to the yellow metal and the us experienced the greatest long-term economic growth in human history. Well, yeah, that, and where did the the? The entire new world, if you want to call it that. I think this is not necessary. We're not in the americas, aren't the new world? It's just uh, what was discovered at the time and previous? We can have that conversation on a paratrooper or something, but you understand, the explosion of wealth came like post 1700s, after the big strike in brazil and then again in the americas and the california gold rush and all that. It built the modern world. Gold built the world. It all these, all these gold rushes built it built the modern world.
Speaker 1:And what's killing the modern world is fake. It's made. It's creating these wars of choice. It's it's. We don't even talk about risk. There's no fiscal responsibility. There's no, you don't have to get. The only people that pay the real heavy price for all our fake are just us, the average people, the, the, the ewers of wood and the drawers of water, people that fight in the wars, who pay the taxes, who keep the lights on that's. Who pays the bill for the fake? And the elites just traffic in it, use it, all the debt, all that creation. They stay on top of the pyramid and you're just working harder and harder to get less and less. But it is interesting. There's little bits of history and you go through them and it's absolutely true.
Speaker 1:And the elites it's so funny, I go to harvard business school, so I mean they. They'll argue the merits of fiat currency and how wonderful it is, and you know how we've been able to do so much. You know, we were just so constricted by having to debate whether where the money was going to come from. That's what this is about. They they don't want to have to debate that. Conversely, forbes says that since the US abandoned the gold standard, its average growth rates have declined around 33%. So average growth is down 33%. I wonder why Medium household income today would be at least $40,000 higher if our traditional pattern of growth for those 180 years had been maintained, he said. Nonetheless, the continually in scorn for a gold-based monetary system is universal. Yeah, it's universal. The elites can't stand gold right.
Speaker 1:What he's talking about is like the spokespeople for, like academia and the economists, and they just get it wrong. You know, most of the time they get it wrong and they're always on the wrong side of history. And here's a a glaring example. These same people supported all these free trade policies. It wrecked the wrecked the country. It devastated the heartland. There's a reason we have a Rust Belt. We have an opioid academic, young men and older men and people that can't have a living wage, job, and all these small counties and poor rural areas, all throughout the Rust Belt. Because we took away all the ability for these people to sustain and make something and be proud of themselves. We took this America's soul and we got rid of it. We just threw it on the altar of corporate profits and political donations. And they did the same thing with our gold standard, did the same thing with our metallic standard. So there's no, you can't save a dollar. That's crazy. You can't save a dollar. I can't do that.
Speaker 1:He also talks about the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies. He says he calls the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies is another indication, which Forbes characterizes as a high-tech cry for help in the face of increasingly unreliable fiat currencies. Folks, I can just tell you I've been studying this for many years and I've been on the front lines of talking about this stuff long before anybody. I remember being out in these counties in East Texas and going on radio and talking about this stuff and I was the only person using this term, like it would again, not 100%, but I never heard anybody else do it. It was not popular. I took some ideas that I had been. I just said this has got to come to fruition. Now it's everywhere. It's ubiquitous.
Speaker 1:You got the president of the United States, who's a free trader par excellence. Right, he's free trade, uber, alice, and all of a sudden he's reversing and he's going to be king tariff. All right, something's definitely up. Something is wrong. All right, we're coming up on the end of the show. I didn't even get to the chat, but I will tell you Saturday, saturday, 3 pm, central Time.
Speaker 1:Bring your questions. If you want to go ahead and submit them beforehand. You can go to any of my wisewolfgoldandsilvercom, wolfpackgold, arderburnnews If you have questions for me on how to safely buy precious metals, how to sell precious metals, how you would trade precious metals, where to store them, all that stuff. Again, how to safely buy, we can include how to test and where you would find them all that stuff. And we're doing this because I've got a podcast company that's asking me to have something to give to the public. It's kind of a large list of things. So I'm doing that 3 pm, saturday, after the shop closes here in Branson. So come tune in. Okay, that ought to be a fun show. I appreciate all of you Happy. If you can make it happy the Memorial Day weekend, it ought to be something to always remember. I will see you guys next week. God willing, you take care of each other. End of transmission.
