The Arterburn Radio Transmission Podcast
#462 Banks, Bullion, Billionaires & Bunkers
Could the political tides be turning towards a new world order? As your host, I've always been intrigued by the power plays and strategies in the political sphere, which is exactly what we're unpacking today. We're looking beyond the headlines to explore the rise of political influencers like Nikki Haley, the practicality of bunkers in our precarious world, and the military strategies that history has taught us. Together, we'll unravel the complexities of current events that signal a shift in our political climate and consider their long-lasting impact.
Third-party candidates could be the game-changers in the 2024 elections, and I'm here to analyze their potential to reshape the political landscape. Remember Ross Perot's ripple effect in '92? We're taking a similar deep dive into the burgeoning influence of figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the implications of a strong Libertarian presence. Through a blend of past election insights and present-day policies, we'll examine how demographic shifts may sway voter allegiance and the tactical maneuvering both Democrats and Republicans may employ in the race for the White House.
The global financial chessboard is in flux, with central banks amassing gold like never before. This episode peels back the layers on what this means for the US dollar's dominance and the potential fallout from de-dollarization. We're not just stopping at the surface level; upcoming guests on the Wise Wolf Golden Crypto Show will join me to delve into the subtleties of central bank strategies and the clandestine tactics behind gold acquisition. Plus, we'll take a critical look at NATO's stance on Russia and BRICS, questioning the wisdom of recent expansions and Western policies. Tune in for a thought-provoking journey through the intersections of finance, politics, and global security.
We have before us the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and for future generations, a new world order. Good evening folks. We'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 a long mustache. John has a long mustache. John has a long mustache. 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 Hi William, hi wait.
Speaker 1:Veteran of three foreign wars, entrepreneur and warrior, poet, tony Ardiburn takes on the issues facing our country, civilization and planet. This is the Ardiburn radio transmission. Who is in charge of the clattering train? The axles creep in, the coupling strain and the pace is hot, and the points are near. The sleep has deadened the driver's ear and the single splash to the night in vain, for death. Is in charge of the clattering train? Folks, welcome to the Ardiburn radio transmission. It is the 19th of January 2024.
Speaker 1:I'm with beans the brave in our Denison Texas studio. Along with Yaka is here the eat meat queen. You can find her over on Instagram. She might chime in to the transmission. I've asked her can you cover the news? Because I just want to take a break. She said no, we are broadcasting in defiance of globalist goblins, the neocons, the new world order, the build back better Biden veils above Baphomet, bilderberg, bohemian Grove, billionaire Bankster Bunch and their bunkers here at the Ardiburn radio transmission. Welcome, I tried to add the new. We're going to cover a story about. Yaka and I were talking about billionaires and their bunkers and it's a philosophical question If you had enough money, would you build a bunker? How bad do you want to make it to the next level of dystopia that they're creating? And we'll go into that. I've got some thoughts because I've studied bunkers and I've studied fortresses and there's a lesson to be learned in there. And if you study some of the great military tacticians, there's an underlying theme in those who would build the bunkers and I think a lot of it comes from those who would create a world where you need a bunker. But we'll get into that here at the end of the transmission.
Speaker 1:Politics happening around us. I'm having a hard time channeling my interest. I know I'm supposed to be interested. This has been a very weird transition for me as a little kid, so fascinated by politics and ideas and strategy, I was paying attention. I've told this story many times, but I was paying attention to the 1988 presidential race. I was eight years old and I actually watched live the vice presidential debate when Senator of Texas Lloyd Benson called Dan Quayle out. When Dan Quayle talked about JFK and Lloyd Benson said I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine Senator. You know Jack Kennedy. I watched that live. I was interested. I thought there was there's so much to learn and it's a. You know, you find strategists like Lee Atwater fascinating. You know these guys that were around.
Speaker 1:They're able to change the way that votes are cast I mean in sway opinion, but they really don't do that anymore. I mean, can you who is triangulating for your vote Really? I mean they walk the line there's. We're on the periphery of stuff to talk about. That is important, that we're facing the existential issues. But I don't really see that and I thought we would. We would, instead of me complaining about that that we're in some kind of weird dystopic twilight zone where I'm not seeing. I literally feel like, and I'm not even in, I don't have a dog in the fight, I don't have a candidate, I'm behind. I'm not, you know, really excited about casting a vote for anyone, but I have questions because I'm looking at a different reality than everyone else. I don't understand, because I'm not excited, but I but. Let's just suspend that and I'll give you analysis, tony. Okay, we'll go, we'll at least get my analysis.
Speaker 1:As I was telling you yesterday, the only presidential election that I got wrong, that I was predicting who would win, since I was eight years old, was 2020. And I predicted a Trump win, but I also said it would most likely be settled in the House of Representatives that he didn't have enough to get to 270 without some sort of you know, there had to be some sort of shift in the Electoral College, because I knew that there was mail-in ballots, they didn't run a campaign, he didn't have the rallies, all that stuff. Right, I got 2020 wrong. Maybe I did, maybe I did the lockdown elections and all that that went with it, and now we're doing it again. So I'm I'm wanting to just take a second if you want to go over politics because this is parapolitics and precious metals If you want to go over politics a little bit, let me share my screen.
Speaker 1:We'll go down a list of some of the headlines on Drudge and talk about where we might stand, and this Drudge actually brought up a point that I've been thinking about. You know, with Trump winning the Iowa caucuses, like soundly, and don't take your eye off Nikki Haley Okay, if Nikki Haley, if they can find a way to coordinate this, this globalist, this neocon, if they can find a way to to crown her, then they will, because and if you see Nikki Haley getting a nomination, becoming president, just start buying a storeable food and iodine. Okay, and maybe, maybe I'll, maybe I'll change my philosophy on bunkers if she wins the presidency, because I promise you, we're probably going to war on some level, regardless of who is selected, but with Nikki Haley, you're going to want to start getting your radioactive suits out and anything to protect you from fallout. There's a reason David Knight calls her New Key Haley. All right, let's.
Speaker 1:Let's put Drudge up on the screen, and so I'm suspending my skepticism and my cynicism and we can talk a little bit about politics, maybe do a little bit of analysis. But Drudge report house sales a slowest in 20 years. Well, I can't believe it. You've inflated the housing market with cheap fiat currency debt. Every time that you create a home loan, you create currency. Folks and the banksters know that. Jackson T Barrett in the chat says Nikki is not eligible to serve, or most of these people are eligible to serve. Yeah, it's a great question. Kind of goes back to the Ted Cruz days of 2016. And even John McCain there was a question of that Barack Obama, all that and we have so many questions.
Speaker 1:Let's go into some of the headlines on Drudge and, of course, politics. As the MAGA turns, speaker Johnson backed into a corner as conservatives put speaker on notice. You see, the Republican Party will do everything but what the voters want and and they kind of rub it in your face I think this is going to be part of the upcoming election. Just kind of a dud with the speaker and I could have told you that. Let's see. Let's go back to where I this is where I jumped into a little bit of the political thought stream this morning.
Speaker 1:James Carvel, you know the raging Cajun, and he's the one in 1992 that said it's the economy stupid. Well he's, he was right about that. It was the economy stupid in 1992. And there's a host of other reasons, but he, with a broad brush, he got that right. Well, carvel today says third party to get a lot of effing votes. Third party to get a lot of effing votes. He's talking about the third party candidacy and, I think, multiple third party candidacies coming up in 2024. That is the dark horse. That is what you're going to want to watch for. Okay, just like 1992, when you had Ross Perot I think he got 16% of the vote he had. He got the most percentage of the vote since Teddy Roosevelt in 1912.
Speaker 1:See, I told you guys I know politics. I just stopped being interested in politics because of our current system. I don't have anybody to vote for. I mean, if I had a time machine, you know, like I guess that I feel like I'm in a parallel universe and I don't want to lose any more listeners, but I feel like I'm in Plato's cave. Half that. I'm like I'm seeing something you guys aren't seeing, or I don't understand where I'm at when it comes to our national politics. It's a dumpster fire of epic proportions. But Carvel's right, there's going to be a lot of effing votes for third parties and a lot of this will be strategy.
Speaker 1:You know, we go back to 1992. Ross Perot was in the polls. I mean, had a massive following and then he dropped out. And then he came back and even with dropping out and coming back, and he was threatened by George H W Bush's administration, former CIA, all of that you know. There was a. I'm sure the hammer had come down on him You're hurting the sitting president and Mr Skull and Bones and he dropped out, came back in and it was just enough to take out George Bush. 41, as if you recall, and that's where you get Slick Willie. You get Bill Clinton installed as president in 1992 and in 93. That had a lot to do with our third party politics.
Speaker 1:Well, same thing's going to happen here. It won't be like a Ross Perot, but there's going to be. You've got under this headline. You've got RFK Jr's first lady speaks out defense conspiracy thinking. So they're already running out the PR campaign for Robert F Kennedy Jr, who has a lot of great things to say.
Speaker 1:I'm not voting for him. I don't, I don't plan to. I think he's questionable on life, he's questionable on the Second Amendment, but he's been great on things like finance. He's been great on things like the jab. He's been great on things like pushing back against giant pharmaceutical drug cartels that run our government. I think that's great and I think it's a good thing to have him in the debates, but I don't. I don't have. I don't see him having a path to victory either. So it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 1:What is his candidacy for? Especially when you know about the ballot access. You also have to throw in the libertarian party. Who are the libertarians going to run? Will they get a celebrity that actually has some name recognition and they get away from people like Gary Johnson? It's, it's going to be interesting. They're going to run somebody and we still got a lot of time left.
Speaker 1:The libertarian party doesn't have this long drawn out coronation pageantry that the two, the duopoly, have the Democrats and Republicans. They don't, and the Democrats are certainly going to renominate Joe Biden. In its current form, that's the way it looks. I know it's shocking to everyone, but the Democrats don't need candidates. That's the thing is, the Democrats don't need candidates, they just need somebody. Who's I mean, I guess you could even question is Joe Biden? Is he fully functional? I guess he's alive, you can put it, you can put it out front, but they just need somebody with a D, because the D is going to be the deciding factor right, you just press the button. That's like in Pennsylvania John Federman who Senator? John Federman, who Mr Hoodie and Shorts in the Senate. He's basically a walking humiliation ritual for the American people. So we all feel powerless and stupid. And he beat Dr Oz. You know the TV doctor? There's a reason, folks, because it didn't matter what Dr Oz did. They just had enough Democratic voters and once you go to a certain amount, if you look at California, you could run again.
Speaker 1:This is the argument for demographic shifts. That's why globalists love open borders. They love demographic changes, replacement programs you know the great replacement all that stuff. They love that because then they could just have lockstep push the button or maybe not push the button, mail it in for a party. It's not. The Democrats don't vote for people, they vote for party. And the Republicans because they've presided over these massive demographic shifts willingly. People like Lindsey Graham, people like John McCain, people like Mitt Romney. They've boxed themselves out of having any sort of chance to have a mandate.
Speaker 1:Now you think Trump won in 2016,. Most people don't know this. Trump won in 2016 by 80,000 votes spread over four states. That's it 80,000 votes spread over four states was the deciding factor in his 2016 victory. Now we're even a different country now from 2016. You have a million new legal immigrants a year. 80% of all new legal immigrants vote Democrat. That's why the Republicans want more immigration because they love Democrat voters. Do the math. Ask them why Lindsey Graham wants to triple immigration. You know there's.
Speaker 1:I even remember the talk show host, glenn Beck, said that we needed to double the population of the United States. I think he wanted it to be 666 million. Go look that up. But do you see what I'm talking about folks, so-called conservatives. They don't understand demographics and they don't understand what happens when you change them Like it doesn't matter about your ideas.
Speaker 1:So, circling back to the third party, you're gonna get a lot of people in the independent middle that want to just transition out of it. They don't want any part of the duopoly. They're not. They don't care about Trump, they don't care about Biden. They still want to. You know, cast a vote and there's gonna be a lot of protest votes. So Carvel is right there's gonna be a lot of effing votes for a third party. And the headline just above that, if you look at it on Drudge Trump or Biden. For many disillusioned voters, it's none of the above. See, that's where we're headed, and if you want to talk politics, if you want me to suspend this belief and we can argue about how many angels can fit on the head of a pen, then I guess we'll talk about a Trump.
Speaker 1:Victory is as it stands now. If he sweeps the primaries, is given the nomination and the third parties siphon off enough of the votes that would normally go swing to Democrats. There's a chance there, but other than that, straight up, I don't. How do you, how do you replicate 2016 when you have a again? We're six years on and you have a completely new eight years on? You're gonna have a completely new set of demographics there that don't lean further right. They lean further lockstep, globalist blue, because once you go blue in the modern era, there's no going back. It's not about ideas. That's the thing. That's the sad part about all of it. I wish I was wrong, but you look at California and it doesn't matter what you run on, you just have to be part of the party. That's it. Game set match. So it's gonna be interesting, I guess, to see how it all plays out.
Speaker 1:In the meantime, though, the country is imploding. The dollar is losing purchasing power. Left and right. The markets are kept a cheap fiat debt. We're on the brink of massive geopolitical shifts. We're inside of a fourth turning. I know the candidates aren't talking about this. What we're actually for? The historical implications of the massive amount of stupidity, corruption, short-sightedness, the lack of wisdom has led us where we are today, which is on the precipice of a massive collapse. I don't want that. It's not what I seek. I hope I'm wrong, but if you look across the board, it's not looking good. Massive changes on the horizon. This is why, every week, I mean, I'm doing even more of the little video shorts on my channel and doing podcasts and interviewing more people about our currency situation, about our markets, about our economy, how it looks geopolitically. It's not looking good and I'm going to go over some stories today If you really want to follow the broader picture and the logic of why you're seeing so many shifts so quickly.
Speaker 1:And it was funny I was telling Yicca before we started the show. I said now watch this. I said see, there's a headline here on Twitter that through one of the accounts that I followed, through Gold Telegraph, they put out a news item and I said now look how it correlates to this news item over here on Trudge that you would think that they're two separate things, but they actually go together. I'm going to read that to you here in a minute. But let's talk about a sign of the times. Remember don't watch what banksters say. Watch what they do. Okay, because the banksters are going to tell you everything's fine Most of them, unless you're Jamie Deeman. For some reason he is the chicken little here and I don't know if that's to cover himself but he says there's going to be an economic superstorm downturn. You know there's going to be some kind of black swan, so interesting to watch that most of the establishment will cheerlead all the way to the end, kind of like Baghdad Bob did when we were invading Iraq and he, you know there was clearly like American tanks going down the road and he was saying that there was no American tanks there. That was. I was there, by the way. I was just on the tail end of that and I remember that very clearly. Let's, let me stop this screen. Put on the next one. Let's talk about watching what central bankers do. The banksters watch what they do, not what they say. This is a zero hedge.
Speaker 1:The central banks will keep gobbling gold in 2024. It's interesting choice of words because they're gobbling, gobbling gold. I that some I think that's a be a good title to something. I need to remember that they're gobbling gold in 2024,. According to shiftgoldcom, the first half of 2023 was a record breaking moment for central bank gold buying, led by none other than China and Russia, and organizations like the World Gold Council reported a staggering increase compared to 2022. On a year to year basis, central banks bought an astonishing net 800 tons, 14% higher than the same period last year, and not the January effect. This is going back to something that Mike Mahary put out a week or so ago about the January effect. Historically, gold has a great January. Whether that will apply to the gold price as we finish the first month of 2024, there are plenty of indicators that central bank buying the spree will continue for at least the first half of the new year.
Speaker 1:Accelerating de-dollarization is just one factor, as powerhouses like China and Russia continue strategically moving further and further from the grips of US dollar hegemony. Yeah, this probably in the top three of the stories that aren't covered enough the biggest stories of our time because the implications of what's happening with losing the world's reserve currency status. That's why I talk about it. There's really, you know, politics aside, sociological trends and ideologies aside, nobody knows what happens really and truly when we lose the world's reserve currency status. You just think of your dollar as inside the continental United States, but, as I've said many times, 80% of all the $100 bills that are ever printed are not in this country. 65% of all the paper currency that was ever printed is not in this country. There's a thing called money velocity that keeps a currency strong. It's the usage, it's the demand, and when that decreases, you have decreases in purchasing power, you start having an inversion of the strength of that currency and that can lead to things like hyperinflation.
Speaker 1:There's another aspect to this and we're going to continue the article, but there's something you need to look up called Triffin's Dilemma, and Robert Triffin was an economist in the 1960s and he testified before Congress about this very phenomenon. What happens when because this is the time when we take the silver out of our coinage there was a lot of talk other countries were cashing in their dollars at the gold window. It's one of the reasons Nixon took us off the gold standard, because the other countries knew that we'd debased our dollar. So Robert Triffin. This economist is. Triffin's Dilemma is basically once you become the world's reserve currency and you stock all these central banks with the dollars and they use the dollars and you have a certain basis for the value of that currency based on usage and money velocity globally, what happens when those dollars are repatriated?
Speaker 1:That's Triffin's Dilemma, and the answer is not good, right, it's not a happy time to have. What are the numbers? Would it be quadrillions that have to be repatriated if the world reserve currency status is indeed lost by the dollar? That is something that's an open question. But we're not gaining new traction. We have weaponized the dollar through our sanctions, our arrogance. The military industrial complex is a tool of multinational corporations, unfortunately, and they've been weaponizing the dollar to wage economic warfare in these countries like China and Russia, the BRICS Brazil, russia, india, china, south Africa and we're going to talk about something about the BRICS a little later. They're moving away.
Speaker 1:The article goes on to say, of course, actions by the Biden administration to isolate Russia with sanctions in the wake of the Ukraine conflict only provide further impetus for the Russians to continue divesting in any way they can from the US dollar, combined with a volatile ruble and a wave of new American spending to feed its proxy wars in Ukraine and Israel, it only makes sense that Russia's gold coffers will continue to grow. You can also bet on China and Russia buying significantly more gold than what gets publicly reported, so the real numbers are always higher than they seem. As Jim Rickards has pointed out many times, such as the tweet from Q1 last year, countries like Russia and China hold gold acquired through off the books buying programs that far exceed what they officially claim. There's a little caveat to this, too, and I'm going to keep watching this and we're going to have some. You need to really go follow the Wise Wolf Golden Crypto Show. I've got two great interviews coming up this month, some of the best interviews that I think we're going to have this year.
Speaker 1:I'm kicking off the year strong, but we're talking about central bank collusion. We're going to talk about silver, but there's so much there to unpack We've got you talk about off the books buying. There is a report on Kitco about a month ago and I want to revisit this. I may even try to get the author onto the podcast, but there is a report that, if you really reverse, engineer China's gold buying over this century the 21st century. If you go and look at the, they bought so much off the books that it's estimated because they have. They don't.
Speaker 1:The Chinese don't export gold, they don't export it. They have 60,000 gold mines estimated. So they don't export, they only import and they've bought off the books. Now, why is a country? Would you buy off the books unless you wanted to shift the global power away, and you do it under stealth. It's estimated that the Chinese may, may indeed officially have twice the amount of gold holdings that the United States has, which the United States is out front right now. It has been since the 1950s with our 8,500 tons or so. Supposedly that's what we have, but the Chinese, again estimated we can't prove this may have indeed double that. So if you wanted to stealthily continue to acquire wealth and you let, you let the United States, a central bank and its globalist goblin puppets hoist themselves by their own pitard, which continue to sanction, continuing to weaponize the dollar and make ridiculously on purpose stupid decisions Like how do you? How do you do on purpose and stupid at the same time? Look at the Biden administration, it's both. Let's see A central bank of Russia reported a gain of 30 metric tons in gold reserves.
Speaker 1:That's after a year of flattening, more likely due to non-reporting than non acquisition. Yeah, non-reporting, very key. You know it's interesting. Countries will hide their gold. They will. Their gold reserves and where they keep them are more secret than their nuclear weapons. It's amazing the amount of history that's happening here. I can't, it's hard for me to even process, like what we're watching and how quickly this is happening For more central bank gold buying fuel.
Speaker 1:The Fed the Fed claiming victory against inflation is actually giving up on fighting it. The Fed knows it backed itself into a corner and has no choice but to lower rates in 2024, which means central banks will need a way to hedge against those easier money policies. And while the Fed's balance sheet shrank in 2023, it didn't even come close to closing the gap it created by trillions during the COVID era. Of course, that wouldn't stop Jerome Powell from running his victory lap at 2023's final post FOMC press conference about stopping rate hikes it is true they spiked the football, but it's funny.
Speaker 1:When they talked about Powell called it his terminal rate. He said it's a terminal rate. That's pretty apropos. I think terminal sounds about right. And right after he did that and said there was an announcement about QE quantitative easing, more rate lowering into the first quarter of 2024. They had another spokesperson come out. They do this a lot now. They'll put out one statement and then they have another representative put out a completely opposite statement. They're hedging their bets in real time against. Oh no, we didn't say that. Oh, we actually meant this, talking about keeping rates high and fighting inflation.
Speaker 1:However, lower rates in 2024 would bolster the case for even more inflation, not less, leading to a tanking dollar and surging relative prices for gold and other commodities. And this talks about Peter Schiff's tweet. He says it's only the second day of January and the national debt has already blown past $34 trillion. I think 2024 will set a record for the largest one year increase in the US national debt in history. The only question is will there be a sovereign debt or dollar crisis before the year ends? These are open questions. It takes now $1 trillion a year to service the debt. I know Dick Cheney said the deficits don't matter, but they absolutely.
Speaker 1:Math matters. I'm sorry, I know that a neocon Trotsky fantasy for the ruling elite, but no, there's always. Math doesn't care about your ideology or you're in with the central bank or not. Math doesn't care about ESG, environmental, social governance. And finally, 2024 brings even more uncertainty in the face of the US continuing proxy conflicts and, notably, a US presidential election that is reinforcing a global picture of domestic political instability, with candidates on both sides like RFK Jr and Vivek Ramaswamy embracing anti-establishment messages about reigning in central banks, the military industrial complex and the US debt spiral. There are plenty of candidates shaking the nest in ways that would have been and seen as unheard of a couple of elections ago. Well, this is very much true and kind of goes back to what I was saying earlier. There has to be some sort of release valve in our politics, like our national candidates. Again, don't have a dog in the fight, but our national candidates are they really talking about the? Are they just a party versus party? Are they really talking about the existential threats to our civilization? Are you seeing them talk about that? When's the last major presidential candidate that has been speaking out absolutely unequivocally against central bank digital currency? And I'll let the Jeopardy music run there is none.
Speaker 1:I thought just from a personal note. I thought in 2016, when I was broke and I was donating to Donald Trump every single week and writing articles for him and supporting him and endorsing. I was the first congressional candidate of the six that had ran in the race in 2014. I was the first one that I showed up in Dallas at the Trump rally. I've got front row seats and I got to see my friend, katrina Pearson speak and I was all in. I already did this. I already voted for a secure border. I already did this and it's weird because I'm living in some sort of weird time loop where I'm doing it again and everybody's running that side still running on that.
Speaker 1:So not sure what to make of our national politics, but you can see they're really not even touching on the things that are. We're so far past 2016 now. You've had the COVID era 80% of all the dollars ever created created in the last 48 to 60 months since 1776 to now. So you do the math on that and you got a geopolitical dumpster fire of epic proportions. I know I mentioned that earlier, but that's the only way to describe it to me. It's bizarre and we're in a fourth turning. So I'm just waiting for them to start talking about things that matter besides Hunter Biden's laptop.
Speaker 1:Let's go to the Rockfinn chat really quick and I got some folks that have commented on Twitter. I'll get to that Twitter. It looks like we're streaming at Tony Arterburn over on Twitter. Let me go to the Rockfinn. If I have anybody in the Rockfinn chat. Nobody in the Rockfinn chat right now. I may have somebody there, but I'll go back to it. It looks like Tom Cooper's in the chat, I think. Are you referring to Nikki Haley or to Michelle Obama? Yeah, they haven't drafted Michelle Obama yet. Tom Cooper said she will win the war. Lol, that's good.
Speaker 1:Jackson T Barrett, when nobody gets 270 in the electoral college count, the contingent election in the house picks the potas. That's right. That's right. That's why I was saying when you can't get to 270, it's decided by the House of Representatives. Jackson Barrett says Trump says notice, cbdc. Oh, the Jared Kushner was pushing it really hard and that's his advisor pushing. I have not heard that. I know that the Trump administration, they were working with the central bank on that and then Biden put that into a executive order.
Speaker 1:Harps says I don't think it's streaming on Rockfinn. Oh well, that's too bad. Might have a technical glitch over there, but we'll come back to it. All right, folks? Well, let's keep going. We got a little bit of time left here on the Arteburn radio transmission. By the way, are you subscribed to the podcast? Did you follow Parrotruther? Go to anywhere a podcaster found. Follow the Arteburn radio transmission, follow Parrotruther and follow the Wisewolf Golden Crypto Show. I promise I won't have any more shows.
Speaker 1:I do different things on different feeds. It's not all one universal feed. I try to do as much as I can on the Arteburn radio so I give you as much interviews and all that. I'm trying to keep up with more content, so please do that. All right, let's see how much time do I have. Let's see if I can cover all this. I'll do what I can. Let's jump in. I'll do some comparison stories. These are the fun little things that I do in our dystopia. When I go over, I'm like, hey, this connects, let's go over this together. This is on Twitter, so I pulled up the gold telegraph Twitter handle. Again, I don't have any affiliation here, but it's an interesting feed and I find it to be informative.
Speaker 1:Russia says over 30 countries are interested in approaching BRICS, which is Brazil, russia and China, south Africa. I have concluded. Until they officially join, many in the West will continue to laugh. That is okay. Until it's not Well, I don't think that the West is laughing. As a matter of fact, I think this Russia saying over 30 countries are interested in approaching BRICS is an indirect correlation to the other story that I have here. That was a link on Drudge. Let's go over this. This is the things that I see on a daily basis.
Speaker 1:Nato warns of an all out war with Russia in the next 20 years. This is the games that are played. Russia puts out a prediction on a growing growth of the block at BRICS and then you get NATO. This is from the telegraph, again over on Drudge. Nato warns of an all out war with Russia in the next 20 years. Civilians must prepare for an all out war with Russia in the next 20 years. A top NATO military official has warned. While armed forces are prime for the outbreak of war, private citizens need to be ready for a conflict that would require wholesale change in their lives. This is from Admiral Rob Bauer. Large numbers of civilians will need to be mobilized in case of an outbreak of war, and government should be put in place systems to manage the process, admiral Moore told reporters after a meeting of NATO defense chiefs in Brussels. We have to realize it's not a given that we are in peace.
Speaker 1:You know I have a lot of questions here. I know the mainstream media. They got their fancy college degrees and their 400,000 in debt for whatever. They could have just saved the money and got a library card, but they didn't read. I don't know if there's any follow-up questions here. It doesn't look like it. Does anybody in the mainstream understand the history of what NATO is or what happened after the fall of the Soviet Union?
Speaker 1:You know, the Soviet Union broke into 16 pieces on December 25, 1990. Mikhail Gorbachev gave up the ghost and the promise was from our Secretary of State, which at the time was James Baker, under the Bush administration Bush 41, that we would not expand NATO. They had the Warsaw Pact. You know again, that was what the Soviet Union set up, the Soviet Empire after the end of World War II. That was to push back against Westward expansion and the United States hegemonic power. So they had the Warsaw Pact, so they dissolved the Warsaw Pact and our promise, the promise that our government gave to the Russian people, is that we would not expand NATO. Since that time we have expanded NATO in their face, taunting them, growing NATO, going right up into their border.
Speaker 1:That's where a war monger extraordinaire John McCain, wanted to bring Ukraine into NATO and thank God Almighty didn't, because we probably would already have been in some sort of nuclear war or limited nuclear war or a worldwide conflict. That's what all of this was about. You know, we want to have that money laundering station, we want to build those biolabs there in Ukraine. I know it's about freedom, because Zelensky has everybody arrested. That is any kind of opposition, that's real free. That's democracy, that's worth dying for, right, all that democracy over there the mainstream media tells me that I'm supposed to support. But that's what it's about, folks.
Speaker 1:Nato has been expanding and expanding, and expanding. We broke our word. You have to ask yourself if this is Vladimir Putin. He's the new Hitler, right? He's a war monger. He can't stop himself from invading all of Europe. Well, actually that's what we did. We continue to expand NATO, old Soviet bloc countries brought further and further into the sphere of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which was an organization, by the way, that was founded as a means to carry out the policy of the Truman Doctrine of containment. I know that I'm speaking a language here that the mainstream media teleprompter reading hairdo automatons for Satan don't understand. But there is a guy named George Kennan. He wrote the long telegram in the Soviet Union while he was working as the embassy to craft a Cold War policy. That's what NATO was designed for.
Speaker 1:On December 25, 1990, nato became obsolete. Why has it grown? Because it no longer is about, and no longer had become about, curtailing Soviet influence or protecting Europe. It is a wing of the financial elite and the military industrial complex and the empire. That's it. There's nothing to do with its original mission.
Speaker 1:When you have NATO chiefs coming out, this is a very inflammatory statement, by the way, if you know anything about Russia and the history of Russia and weaponry, and how many nuclear submarines they have, how many ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, but then you juxtapose that to the fact that they have an economy that's about the same as the state of Texas. Why, in the next 20 years, would NATO need to go to war with Russia unless it was expansionist into Russian territory? Would that be to punish Russia for creating a separate system for finance? Because, again, russia is just a giant gas station Global gas, crude oil, coal, gold, all sorts of natural resources. What you're watching is not about the politics of 20 years ago or 30 years ago or foreign policy. We're way beyond that. That window is closing.
Speaker 1:I'll see if I can do this every week Find two stories that aren't supposed to be touching together because they're not near each other in the headlines, but they actually do correlate. Let's go last story. Well, I'm in Texas. I'll do two more stories. I'm in Texas right now. Fun fact, I don't have water at my house. I have a house that's built in the 1940s and the pipes that got to the coldest. It been in Denison, texas, in 50 years.
Speaker 1:I know that global warming is really hard on us right now. I don't think it has anything to do with global warming. It has probably a lot to do with the geoengineering that they're doing above our heads without permission. But I digress. My pipes are frozen. They've been frozen for days. I have to have the plumbers come out. I'm living, like I do, off grid, but it's good training to live on the homestead in northwest Arkansas and, of course, being in the Army helps. I'm still in the lap of luxury, even just having heat and electricity.
Speaker 1:But this was a story that popped up. I think you're going to see more of this. This is part of the great reset, folks. And then we're going to jump into the last story, part of the great reset and part of the New World Order, if you want to call it, whatever nomenclature you have for this one world totalitarian socialist government that's trying to implement. It's not my theory, it's what they say they want. Is it humiliate you to keep you from having any solutions? You're in Texas. You would think well, gosh, this is an energy state.
Speaker 1:Then Rick Perry, the former governor, he was the man who couldn't remember the agencies of government departments. He would cut if he was president. Remember that he had three of them. He got to two and then he looked to Ron Paul because he'd forgotten. He couldn't remember. This was in 2012. I told you I followed his politics. Nothing leaves my mind because it's too I wish it would, but I remember Rick Perry and he couldn't remember that third agency. Well, that's the agency he went to work for when Trump became president, rick Perry, he headed up the agency he said he would completely dismantle if he was elected president, which is the Department of Energy.
Speaker 1:You think Texas is, oh, we're doing really great. No, because the power grid is always suffering. Which we have all this money. Why don't they build new infrastructure? Why aren't they doing that Well you're supposed to feel helpless. Greg Abbott wants to give 200 million to a shell corporation out in Frisco, texas, to do contact tracing. Remember that. Well, where's your new grid? This is naturalnewscom.
Speaker 1:Texas is facing another power grid collapse and intense weather spell. Another bout of freezing, frigid weather hit Texas and other states throughout the south and midwest. This week, the grid managers at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, ercot, face a repeat of 2021, when Winter Storm Erie left millions of residents without power, many of them for more than three days straight, and killed more than 300 people. Ercot has issued a conservation request to businesses and private customers this week, asking them to keep things low or off. Here's another example of where money and I'll let you guys go read the rest of the article.
Speaker 1:This is the gist of it they don't build new infrastructure. Wouldn't more power and more resource be part of a growing an economy? Wouldn't that be a byproduct of a growing economy? Oh, no, no, no, no. It's all off the table because so much of it is controlled by the federal government, by the Department of Energy and by the green policies, which is actually a watermelon policy. It's a watermelon. It's green on the outside, communist, red Marxist on the inside. That's what this, any kind of green policy, is a watermelon. It's all about you not going. There's a reason they're not building the grid. The reason they're not building the grid is because they're pushing EVs. When they push EVs, it means you can't charge your car. You can't charge your car, you can't leave. That is the point. They're not building for the future because they don't want one, and this is part of it Just trying to stagnate, just trying to run out the clock.
Speaker 1:This is why I get so animated with these Republican lawmakers and, I'm told, are my heroes. And I got to keep Texas red. I don't want to keep Texas communist red. Can I not keep Texas Communist red? Because you're making it that way, greg Abbott? Well, maybe I'm starting to. I think. Maybe this is a new thing. I just thought of this Jecko. Maybe that's what they want me to keep red. Maybe that is the logic. That's why it's been buried in my subconscious. I got to keep Texas red, for, okay, I got it. I see, I see what the issue is. Now they're keeping it red. All right, let's. That's the power grid, the Thomas Massey Having that cross examination, you know, of Pete Buttigieg, mayor Pothole Pete About the energy grid.
Speaker 1:He says you know it takes when you add an EV to a home. That's like adding 25 new refrigerators. But you haven't worked on the grid and the current grid can't support our power system. So how do you introduce electric cars If you can't support the grid? Pete, pothole, pete, a CIA construct a completely made up person, in my opinion didn't have an answer, because there is no answer. The answer, the non answer, is the answer. They're not building the grid because you're not supposed to go anywhere, and that's what this is all about. So keep Texas red.
Speaker 1:All right, this is the last story they. Maybe this will be. I don't know if this will be more fun. Yeah, because, like I, it's been. It's not been a fun show. I'm sorry, I'm not. I'm not having fun, tony. It feels like I'm inside of a pessimistic echo chamber. I'm trying really hard. I just I'm trying to be positive. Let's do that. Last story of the day. Again, thanks everybody for for joining me on these transmissions. I'm going to do more coming up in the in the year. I've got some new scheduling to release, but we're here live on freeworldfm every Friday, 11 am, central time.
Speaker 1:Be sure and support the sponsors of this program, if you can. I built something that is the opposite of any kind of program that I've seen with major gold and silver brokers over the United States. You know most of those guys are wanting to you to call if you got 10,000 or 20,000 or 50,000. We love that too. But I built something called Wolfpack for the rest of us, for those who are just keeping the lights on, working hard and want to replace some of those fake fiat Luciferian Bankster notes with actual money like gold and silver and we're on a budget and that's why Wolfpack Gold exists. So please go to Wolfpack Gold, check out the programs and the memberships. So much that is coming out in Wolfpack you can order just once. You can sign up for monthly memberships. We got the Wolfpack for Kids called Wolf Cub. That's only $35 a month. That's what I'm talking about. I went the inverse. I went the other way around. There's not a lot of gold dealers looking for $50, $125 transactions. I want them. So I built something completely different. So go check out Wolfpack Gold or anything wise WolfGold and silver has, and whether you're buying or selling, we take good care of you.
Speaker 1:All right, let's jump into this story. And I got a little bit of analysis on this. I can't read the whole article, but you'll get the gist of it. Into the World Bunker it's listed on Zillow 10,000 square feet, blast doors and EMP shielding.
Speaker 1:Elites have spent the last decade building and or purchasing underground Doomsday bunkers. Whether it's to survive the next global conflict, civil War in America, a tyrannical government that locks down the economy because of a virus out of control, blm riots or possibly a solar storm that zaps the nation's power and communications grid, bunker demand has been smoking hot. X account Zillow gone wild posted Thursday about a 10,000 square foot bunker hidden in Polo, missouri, that was recently listed. In an era where even technology titans are grabbing headlines for their investments in personal safety, such as the end of the world bunker, this property emerges as a true testament to visionary planning. The bunker offers 10,000 square feet of modernized underground space and is located just 35 miles away from Kansas City. It has 2.5 foot thick concrete walls, emp resistant copper shielding and two 3,000 pound blast doors. The bunker's price is 2 million and that's affordable compared with other bunkers listed at tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 1:And in the world of bunker building news, corporate media recently shined a spotlight on Facebook CEO, mark Zuckerberg, in the bunker he's building in Hawaii. Almost. This article says almost as if he knows something. Well, it kind of harkens back to the end of 2019. I talk about this all the time. I know everybody forgot. But the end of 2019, last quarter, largest exodus of CEOs in history what did they know? And I don't know, tony does?
Speaker 1:The formation of the central intelligence agency and other intelligence agencies always is connected to high finance. High finance and intelligence go together like a hand in the glove, like peanut butter and jelly. Okay, that's what they do. That's intelligence. It's the second most important commodity in the world is intelligence. The other is time. But they are certainly sending us a message and I would say, as I close out the show I will not be buying a bunker. I will not do that. And I will tell you something Any tactician, any strategist, one of my favorite quotes is General Douglas MacArthur.
Speaker 1:He said there is no safety on this earth, there's only opportunity. The bunker mentality is one of the reasons Sam Houston told Jim Bowie to turn the cannon on the Alamo. He said take the cannon, turn it on the fort and blow it up and move, stay mobile, stay moving. Fortresses, bunkers are Hitler's bunker. How did that work out? Give me a bunker that worked out, besides a movie like Terminator 3, where they survived the blast and the bunker. There's not many good scenarios with bunkers and or fortresses, and that's why it's important to keep your thinking out of the bunker, a bunker mentality, and that's even as I close out the show. That is one of the things I've seen businesses from the inside. When they start to decline, they have a bunker mentality under siege. Offense and strategy are king. The bunker is unimaginative and I guess for people that are causing the thing, they're causing the situation outside to require a bunker. But something to think about, and I could be wrong.
