#493 U.S. Financial Brinkmanship, Middle East Maneuvers, & The Bitcoin-Gold Debate
Is America on the brink of financial disaster, or is it all just smoke and mirrors? Join us as we challenge the mainstream narrative and critique the underpinnings of the current U.S. financial and political landscape. With the national debt soaring and fiscal responsibility seemingly abandoned, we scrutinize the roles of key figures like Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve in steering the nation toward an economic precipice. The episode confronts the silence around these critical issues and the potential ripple effects on global financial systems, especially with the rise of BRICS nations. Our discussion takes unexpected turns, with startling insights into potential political insider trading and the implications of U.S. monetary policy on international relations.
As we navigate the complexities of geopolitical tensions, from the possibility of World War III to the covert maneuvers in the Middle East, we refuse to accept the surface-level explanations often served by political elites. The episode examines the strategic interests driving U.S. and Israeli actions in Syria, the concept of "Greater Israel," and the larger agenda to reshape the Middle East. With a critical lens on historical conflicts and current events, we question the motivations behind military interventions and the often-hidden costs of such alliances. We'll dissect the roles played by influential figures like John McCain and Lindsey Graham and challenge our listeners to see beyond the headlines.
Finally, we tackle the enduring debate between Bitcoin and gold, exploring their roles as investment assets in an unpredictable world. By considering the volatile global financial landscape and the relentless creation of debt, we weigh the potential for Bitcoin to emerge as a strategic reserve asset against the timeless stability of gold and silver. With insights into Ray Dalio’s investment strategies and predictions for asset values, we aim to equip our listeners with the knowledge to navigate these uncertain times. As we wrap up, we share exciting updates on upcoming episodes and express our gratitude to our loyal audience for their support and engagement.
Thank you, we'll be right back. We have before us the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and for future generations, a new world order.
Speaker 1:Good evening, folks, you're listening to the hour of the time. I'm William Cooper.
Speaker 2:The chair is against the wall. 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. Veteran of three foreign wars, entrepreneur and warrior, poet, tony arbor, and takes on the issues facing our country, civilization and planet. This is the arbor radio transmission.
Speaker 3:All right, ladies and gentlemen transmitting worldwide from deep in the heart of Texas, back on Worldwide Christian Radio, wwcr. It's been a while. This is the Arterburn Radio Transmission. I am your host, tony Arterburn. I'm broadcasting in defiance of globalist goblins, the neocons and the new world order, along with my co-pilot, co-host Beans the Brave. Ladies and gents, she's just off camera here as she's enjoying the heater. I've not been able to get her off the couch since this morning. Uh, the little tiny heater in the corner and she's not moving. So if anybody is going to disturb the show, I think she'll jump in and she'll intervene. So woodland creatures, bad vibes, all that good stuff, she will save us from that.
Speaker 3:It is the 12th of December 2024. Wow, just on the David Knight show, looking at the horizon for 2025. And you know it's to have a contrarian view of history, to have the conspiracy theory view of history, can be pretty exhausting, because a lot of times you turn out right, but it's there's no, it's no reward, it's a thankless task, unfortunately, because it's kind of you're pointing out the flaws in exuberance or you're pointing out the pitfalls in optimism, or things like that. It's the Claire Booth Luce quote from many, many years ago what's the difference between a pessimist and an optimist is a pessimist has better information, and I hate doing that, but we were looking at the financial headlines, especially in the wake of the election, and I think there's a lot of hype and I think there's a lot of, I think, metrics based off of just nothing, and we're going to see how that plays out. A lot of times, psychology works. I mean, psychology was what was placed on the dollar after August 15th 1971. There's literally no value to it, but we assign it value. So it it has a intrinsic value because we say it does, and so there is something about psychology. Franklin Roosevelt knew that. Uh, when he said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, he was quoting actually, he was quoting Napoleon Hill, who wrote think and grow rich. That's a little sidebar of history that almost no one knows. I know that, and now you do too, but that's something that he knew that psychology worked, and so we have to explore the you know again, the realm of psychology when it comes to headlines and when it comes to, you know, the perception of reality.
Speaker 3:I noticed that Mitch McConnell is giving a farewell address and the headline on Drudge. And, by the way, I know you want me to talk about Luigi Mangoni's murder assassination deal on the CEO of the insurance company. I will a little bit of the insurance company. I will a little bit I think I called it on tinfoil hat when I was on this last week when we watched the video long before the arrest and we'll get into that possibly a little bit later.
Speaker 3:But Mitch McConnell he put out a stream on Twitter and he talked. He talked about several things. He said that there was again a danger in the future, he's leaving the country, he's very concerned. And then also he hearkened back and said that America first was something we said in the 30s, which is something I talk about all the time. That was deemed a bad term and a lot of people don't realize that. But when I ran for office, you know, over 10 years ago, 11 years ago, that was considered not only it was considered hateful to say stuff like that oh, america first, what are you some kind of white nationalist America first? Are you anti-Semitic America first? What are you some kind of white nationalist America first? Are you anti-Semitic America first? Are you what are you? You racist? That was something that you had to be careful. Now I believe in America first, because what it means to me is peace, commerce and honest friendship. But he had to get that little jab going out the door. And that's who we've been dealing with.
Speaker 3:You know, these establishment types, and they still remain, by the way, even after the election. The swamp is continuing to be the swamp, and you're going to have these establishment people and, as a matter of fact, we're going to talk about today, we're going to talk about greater Israel and the grand chessboard that's being reshuffled right before the new administration. I've never seen anything like this. No one else has either. I mean, if you know anything about geopolitics or foreign policy or anything else, there is a massive attempt to saddle the next administration with World War III. And you've got to wonder you know, I've talked about this on shows before Do these people realize that?
Speaker 3:You know that nuclear weapons, bioweapons, you know EMPs, you know chemical warfare these will affect you too, but apparently they don't understand that. Don't get it, or they don't care, or they think they're exempt from it. Don't care, or they think they're exempt from it, something like that. There's something psychologically wrong with the elite, the overlords who rule over us. The Davos set the political class, and it could be a combination of a lot of things Like it could be the fact that they see themselves as exempt because they are agents of chaos. Perhaps they're doing this to us on purpose and they don't feel like they'll have any consequences. Or perhaps it's something more along the lines of the leaders that were overseeing diplomacy in World War I.
Speaker 3:A lot of people don't realize that and you can read this in a book by Barbara Tuckman, who wrote the Guns of August back in the 1960s. Jfk was reading that book during the Cuban Missile Crisis and it talked about how all the world leaders at the time, especially in Europe, once the war started, once the war kicked off, they couldn't stop it. The Germans had something called the von Schlieffen plan They'd been working on for years and years, drawn up what they would do if there was a mobilization, like crossing through Belgium into France and seizing territory and all the rest. And then France had something drawn up, england had something drawn up and then, once the war kicked off, you had, like the Kaiser, who was that's where you get Kaiser Caesar, you know a czar, that's where you get that term. The Kaiser was the head of Germany, frederick William. He started crying like he couldn't stop. He was on the phone trying to stop the war, couldn't do it. It was out of his hands.
Speaker 3:So maybe there's something like that. Maybe they don't understand that once something truly catastrophic happens, that things set in motion organically has an organic phenomenon to it. That's what I see about war. Of course, if you haven't lived through it, you haven't seen the consequences of it, it hasn't infected your soul, then maybe you don't understand it. And that's why I try to bring this, you know, at least a little bit of clarity to this broadcast, and we'll talk about that today. But let's start with something I brought up on the David Knight Show. Let me put it up on the screen. This is, um. You know, if you live long enough, you see some amazing headlines. Ladies and gentlemen, let me show this. This is Zero Hedge. Janet Yellen, secretary of Treasury. Janet Yellen says she's sorry and this is in quotations after presiding over $15 trillion increase in the US debt. Something funny happened in the US debt. So something funny happened.
Speaker 3:In late November, outgoing Treasury Secretary and former Fed Chair and Vice Chair, janet Yellen, said that she spoke with Donald Trump's nominee to be her successor, scott Besset, after he was selected for the job. During a Tuesday event organized by the Wall Street Journal, yellen said that in a call before Thanksgiving, she told Besset, a veteran hedge fund manager, about the breadth of the job and strength of the department staff. Yellen, who had also worked one day in the private sector who never worked one day in the private sector, let alone a hedge fund, where you are only as good as your last trade and only as successful as you outsmart your peers reiterated previous warnings about encroaching on Federal Reserve's independence and on broad tariff hikes, while expressing regrets on the fiscal situation. This is what I am concerned about the fiscal sustainability, and I'm sorry that we haven't made more progress, she said, adding that I believe the deficit needs to be brought down, especially now that we're in an environment of higher interest rates. Well, I just want to get to some facts here. Let's talk about how much she's added and this is a tweet by Zero Hedge. She other words, janet Yellen has personally overseen $16.7 trillion, or 46% of all the debt increases in the history of the USA. But she's sorry.
Speaker 3:You know when I talk about, so this is one of those examples of when I tell you about controlled demolitions or I tell you about, you know the inside jobs? Does a country that's supposed to be the most powerful nation on earth, the most sophisticated, the most advanced weaponry, the number one economy you know again what Reagan called the shining city on the hill Do we hire Janet Yellen? Does Janet Yellen become head of the Federal Reserve, federal Reserve chair? Does she also become Secretary of the Treasury? Well, I think, in a world where you're actually trying to implode the power of the United States, where you're actually trying to weaken the United States, then Janet Yellen makes sense, does it not? She made the transition from Fed chair to secretary of the Treasury. Now she's warning the new incoming secretary of the Treasury about Fed independence. That's silly. Fed independence, the Treasury and the Fed are one, and that's not the Fed wagging or not the Treasury wagging the Fed dog. Right, it's the other way around. We all know who runs things and it's the people. You don't see. There's nothing federal about the Federal Reserve and there's no reserves. It's as federal as Federal Express, to channel Bill Cooper. And you look at somebody like Yellen and she's perfect for what was added. You realize, like Yellen and she's perfect for what was added. Do you realize?
Speaker 3:And we don't talk about fiscal responsibility anymore. We don't talk about balancing the budget. We don't talk about the debt. Now, why is that so? Let's cut through the headlines, one of the reasons I'm leaving traditional talk radio. Stop with this left-right paradigm crap. It's stupid. I can't do it anymore. Can't talk about your team, can't talk about your guy, whatever it is, and I get in trouble for it, but I don't care. See, this is beyond politics. Neither party's talking about the fiscal house that is on fire. Neither party's talking about the fiscal house that is on fire.
Speaker 3:And then you get a tweet from Trump saying he's going to put 100% tariffs on BRICS nations Brazil, russia, india, china, south Africa, now Saudi Arabia if they don't use the US dollar or if they create a competing currency. There already is a competing currency and it actually is the world's reserve currency. It's called gold. It's already supplanted the dollar. You've seen the lightning, you just haven't felt the thunder. That ship has sailed. So, if I'm reading these headlines again, 46% of all the US debt ever created happened in the last four years. It took us a trillion. It took us 200 years to hit a trillion dollars. It wasn't quite a trillion dollars when I was born, and now we do it every 90 days. So if you're playing team sports, you know, with your politics, neither party's talking about neither.
Speaker 3:No ruling, no, nobody in charge is actually saying hey, we have to create something totally different here. If we're going to make it in this century, if we're going to actually lead in this, if we're going to make it out of this decade without slipping into a Venezuelan style you know, banana republic with nuclear weapons, then we have to do something drastic. We have to do something about our currency. We have to do something about our spending. We have to stop World War III, which nobody's, you know, is anybody really trying to stop. They're not doing that.
Speaker 3:It's absolutely amazing to watch these headlines and this isn't going to be in the mainstream media. The mainstream is not going to cover this. Mainstream is not going to talk about the amount of debt added. They're going to talk about your stocks. They're going to talk about your portfolio. They're going to talk about how exciting it's going to be for, you know, these defense contracts and other things that are going to happen in Armageddon. But this is the barometer to watch, and we'll talk a little bit more about gold and Bitcoin in this episode as well as I close out.
Speaker 3:But I want to get into some of the foreign policy stuff that happened. Maybe we'll touch on the, maybe we'll touch on Luigi, maybe it is an interesting story and I, when I was on tinfoil hat, I saw the video. I said, oh, that looks personal, that doesn't look like a professional hit. Because everybody was wondering like was he going to announce something that you know was this corporate espionage? Was this set up? You know, was something that you know was this corporate espionage? Was this set up? You know, was this a you know a contract killing? And I thought I don't know. I just pick up on vibes, I look at stuff and I go that looks personal or some kind of personal. You know, maybe it's not an interaction between the two, but the personal thing in someone's mind, not about money necessarily, just about the nature of reality of things. You know things that have happened to people. So that's what I thought when I saw it. But you know we'll see how it plays out. David Knight thought it was interesting. He's from, you know, baltimore, and that's the foundation of the Pelosi family and the insider trading that you know, we you can't really prove that, but but you know the if you mirror Pelosi's stock trades. You get rich. You know. Somebody knows something somewhere, right, all right, so let's jump.
Speaker 3:Let's jump over into another headline. Paul Craig Roberts put up lots of green lights going on, ladies and gents. You notice that? Lots of green lights going on, ladies and gents. You notice that? What do I mean by that? What are the green lights? Well, november 5th, 2024, late at night at least, going into November 6th, donald Trump is going to be the 47th president.
Speaker 3:And where's the pallets of bricks? Where's the burning buildings? Where's the crazy people with the pink hats on? Where's the marches? Where's the news commentators crying and getting into the fetal position and people screaming at the sky? And what happened? There's no entertainment. Donald Jeffries brought that up. Author of Hidden History, my friend Don. He said I was waiting for the entertainment. Nothing happened. Yeah, because those things have to be funded. That's what I've been saying for years. You know, you look at 2020, after May, after you know the incident with the Chauvin, you know that whole, that whole thing that broke out and you just have a massive riot going on every day in the major city leading into the fall and, of course, the lockdown, elections and all the rest that happened. But I remember Dallas. You know my family had to go out with shotguns to protect the store and, like, board it up. People were throwing you know all kinds of I mean trash and other things and bricks and you name it and trying to break into assets and locations that we have in Dallas. And trying to break into assets and locations that we have in Dallas, you know that's something that was real. Somebody had to fund that and that didn't happen in this election. So it was a green light, smooth sailing.
Speaker 3:Same thing with Syria, do you realize? That's like going back to the beginning of my broadcasting career when I started making the network mad at me. See, they thought that they had had, they thought they hired and had somebody on. That was, well, we've got a combat veteran that's coming on the show. That's what they thought. Well, we have a combat veteran that's coming on the show. That's what they thought. Well, they, we have a combat veteran that's coming on the show, so he's going to have his own show and, uh, he'll be great for us and we'll get some. Really, you know, we'll get some great takes. Well, no, uh, because I was against the and every other host was like we got to get in there. This is back when the first real false flag came in Syria and if you remember, you recall it's 2013,. The real false flag Assad is gassing his own people. Remember, the white hat showed up and it was pretty sloppy, but I ran with false flag. I was trusting my gut.
Speaker 3:I knew that the neocons, the warmongers, the lizardy people, they wanted us to get involved and get another Middle Eastern no-win, unconstitutional war because it's time for some people from the Midwest to die. That's what they wanted. They like to sacrifice military people. If they didn't, then why do we keep doing all these stupid Middle Eastern wars that have no benefit? What strategic benefit was it for me to be in Iraq? What benefit whatsoever?
Speaker 3:Do you think Saddam Hussein could have projected power and hurt the US? Can he project power? Could he have projected power? Do you US? Can he project power? Could he have projected power? Do you know anything about geopolitics? These idiots that are like oh yeah, well, saddam's got a death ray, we've got to get over there. We flew 40,000 sorties. You know what a sortie is when you fly a mission over Iraq to keep the no-fly zone going. We flew 40,000 sorties over Iraq in a 10-year period, he couldn't shoot down one aircraft, but he's going to take over the United States. He's going to project power and hurt the US.
Speaker 3:Well, that's how I looked at the Syrian conflict. You had people. They were. You had these rebels that we were funding. You know John McCain's propping up and they were starving. They were eating the animals at the zoo. They were starving. They were eating the animals at the zoo, but Lindsey Graham wants to send 200,000 US troops over there at the time, because they're going to kill us all if we don't get over there. I mean, it's something ritualistic with these people. See, I'm bypassing all politics now. I'm bypassing the usual geopolitic or ideological routes. I'm just telling you they like to sacrifice military people. That's what I think, but something gave it a green light. So now we're.
Speaker 3:You know, in the 2016 election, you had Hillary Clinton running on a platform of let me give air cover to Al Qaeda so we can shoot down Russian aircraft and possibly start World War III, because the Russians were allied with Assad, trying to protect Assad's regime from al-Qaeda, which is supposed to be our mortal enemy, which, if you know anything about the history of al-Qaeda and what al-Qaeda is, it means the database. It doesn't mean the base al-Qaeda is. It means the database. It doesn't mean the base. It means the database of Musha Hadeen fighters that the CIA took over from the British, who'd had the database for 40-plus years in the Muslim Brotherhood and they took it over, and that's what became the fighters that we funded to kill Russians in Afghanistan. And guess what? It was used for other purposes and we're using it now.
Speaker 3:So doesn't that reframe your entire mindset on what the war on terror was? If these proxies are used to topple regimes, then what did they use them for us on? I mean exactly right. You have to drill down to that. You have to unburden your mind with mainstream media nonsense and propaganda and, frankly, stupidity. It's convenient to believe a comfortable lie, but the truth always comes out and it's going to shock you.
Speaker 3:Let's read this article from and again. Green lights that's what I have the biggest problem with. For years and years, there was, you know, a pushback from Russia, iran, you know the regime itself in Syria, and all of a sudden, there's this swift move and it's gone. You know the regime itself in Syria and all of a sudden, there's this swift move and it's gone. Another green light. All right, let's pull this article up from Paul Craig Roberts. By the way, this is on lewrockwellcom and I just want to read you who Paul Craig Roberts is. He's a former assistant secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, so a thoughtful I mean you don't have to agree with everything he says, but he's writing. This is a thoughtful column. He says greater Israel is on the march. Syria no longer exists. On the march, syria no longer exists.
Speaker 3:The Russian news service, rt, reports that Israel has launched the largest attack on Syria in history, with Israeli warplanes hitting more than 250 military targets. Other reports put the number at 300. The Israeli Defense Forces report that it has destroyed 80 percent of Syrian military capability. This is after Syria's fall Wave. After wave of airstrikes carried out by the IAF. Fighter jets and drones then hit Syrian air bases, weapon depots and weapon production sites in Damascus, homs, tardis, likida and Palmyra, according to the military. Meanwhile, on Monday night, israeli Navy missile boats destroyed 15 naval vessels belonging to the former regime at the Minet, el Bida Bay and Likita port on the Syrian coast. Possibly the Syrian army paid to stand down suffered more casualties from these attacks than they would have suffered in a battle in defense of Syria. The money for the generals came at a high price for the soldiers always does. The Israeli military said the airstrikes destroyed many long range projectiles scud missiles, cruise missiles, coast-to-sea missiles, air defense missiles, fighter jets, helicopters, radars, tanks, hangars and more.
Speaker 3:Israel explains its aggression as self-defense, to prevent the weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists. But the terrorists that Israel, washington and Turkey employed but the terrorists that Israel, washington and Turkey employed there's a key word there employed to overthrow Syria, have been turned into the democratic forces that liberated Syria and whose leader has declared friendship with Israel. Leader has declared friendship with Israel. I mean. So if you're watching Fox News and what I just said does not compute with, because the synapses in the brain, the things that you're processing with you have to believe that there's two sides right and Israel is against terrorism. That's not really what threatens Israel, if you know anything about the two things, the two wars the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War 1967-1973,. These two things were the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War 1967-1973, these two things were, they were actually in danger, were brought to you by nation states and the United States and Israel use proxies and actual militants, jihadists, to carry out their own ends. So if they're bolstering that, are they in danger? No, these are tools. So what does that tell you about our own past? Oh, we would never do that. We would never use an invisible enemy to take away your freedom. Oh wait, wait to take away your freedom? Oh wait. The real explanation for Israel's aggression is that Israel now occupies part of Syria.
Speaker 3:If you will remember, recently Netanyahu held up a map of greater Israel and it included Syria. Netanyahu, despite his criminal indictment in Israel for corruption, is likely to go down as the greatest of all Israeli heroes, as the leader who achieved the Zionist goal of greater Israel. You might remember that the American media and fact-checkers denied there was any such thing as greater Israel. It was all misinformation by anti-Semites. Apparently, the narrative controllers regarded Netanyahu's map of greater Israel as part of the anti-Semites. Apparently, the narrative controllers regarded Netanyahu's map of greater Israel as part of the anti-Semitic misinformation. That stuff doesn't work anymore, guys. You know it's supposed to be like, even when Gary Allen wrote a none dare call it conspiracy, uh, back in the 1970s for the John Birch Society, just literally about the Rothschild banking houses and the Warburgs, and you know, kuhn Loeb, all the rest of the banking houses that created the Fed and that funded communism, and that was considered anti-Semitic, because he actually just mentioned that they do, and that's the card that's been played. This has nothing to do with anti-Semitism, because you bring up political Zionism and you bring up things like land grabs or creating an empire or greater Israel. Apparently, the narrative controllers regarded Netanyahu's map of greater Israel as part of the anti-Semitic misinformation.
Speaker 3:The Zionist neoconservatives showed their hand many years ago when they put it in motion their plan to destroy seven countries in five years. Have you heard me talk about that? It took longer than five years, but with Syria's fall, only two of the seven remain Iran and Saudi Arabia. The inability of the Muslim Middle East to unify has doomed it. The inability of the Muslim Middle East to unify has doomed it. Israel has sent tank columns into Syria with the intent of occupation. Washington backs Israel's invasion of Syria.
Speaker 3:Washington's narrative is that it is better to have Syrian territory in the hands of Israel than ISIS. We funded that. Those Toyota pickups, john McCain, the whole thing. We funded that. Where did they get the weapons? That's the people that Hillary Clinton was talking about giving air cover to. Hillary Clinton was talking about giving air cover too.
Speaker 3:That's why you have to oppose every single thing these murderers and criminals want to do in the Middle East. You've got to get out of the Middle East completely. It's only 24% of the world's oil output. Buy oil somewhere else. Produce it here. Buy oil somewhere else, you know. Produce it here. Get better strategic deals. Quit isolating every single country on this planet, acting like a drunk cop nightsticking people. We don't have to buy Middle Eastern oil, ladies and gents. We, or we just could. You could just buy it from whoever's controlling it. What did it matter? That? I mean it's literally the middle east and most of these countries that you see on a modern map was drawn up by winston churchill having a scotch at the end of world war one. Okay, just think of winston churchill drinking scotch and drawing on a map.
Speaker 3:Now, state Department spokesman Matthew Miller says Washington expects Israel's occupation of Syrian territory to be quote temporary. Well, I mean it'll be temporary, till we have, you know, till they cause a major conflagration between iran and, of course and I'm going to get to this here in the article but iran and saudi arabia, who've just fought a proxy war in yemen with the united states and iran, you know, again on opposing sides with the houthi rebels killing and creating genocide, are now going to run joint military exercises together because of economic conditions with the BRICS nations. The modern diplomat in Washington does not understand what I just said and I'm just a paratrooper who likes books, that has a gold and silver shop. Okay, I'm not just a guy that likes to look at the headlines and try to break things down. They don't understand what I just said. They have no idea and they're calling the shots.
Speaker 3:The myth that Syria still exists is alive in the UN and among Russian government officials. The UN Security Council is united in the need to preserve the territorial integrity of Syria. Russian permanent representative to the UN, vasily Nebezinia, said after a closed-door meeting on Monday we were talking about the need to work out a document by the Council in the coming days. The Russians are going to save Syria with a document. This is a huge move, folks. I can't emphasize this enough. I mean, we're about to confront the Russians in Syria. Now we're confronting the Russians through Ukraine and, of course, russia and Iran. You have to remember your alliances here. The absence of realism among the Russian government is disturbing. Syria already doesn't exist and is rapidly becoming greater. Israel Washington covers up reality by emphasizing Israel's right to self-defense, and Paul Craig Roberts says defense from what? A non-existent Syria? These are great questions. By the way, washington is also conducting strikes on former Syria. The US claims to be striking ISIS, and I love Paul Craig Roberts. Thank you, paul, for this.
Speaker 3:The CIA created force that the US used to overthrow Syria. Saddam Hussein was a US asset and ally. He found himself at the end of a hangman's noose. He found himself at the end of a hangman's noose. Gaddafi was once a US ally, used as a proxy, found himself with a knife up his rectum and beat to death. Tim Osman, also known as Osama bin Laden, was a US ally. You see where I'm going with this, and it's debatable whether he died in the end of December 2001, where I tend to go, or whatever happened on May 1st 2010. It's debatable, but again the same result dead Assad and the regime for Syria was a Cold War ally. I once met somebody who had housed Nixon when he visited. His family had hosted the president in Syria. Assad in Syria and Saddam Hussein in Iraq were secular leaders. This was necessary as both countries had Sunni and Shia residents. But the jihadist forces Washington used against Libya and Syria and were willing agents for Washington and Israel to use for their own purposes against secular Muslim regimes.
Speaker 3:Now that Israel and Washington are turning on their jihadist tool jihadist tool, and it just makes it's even worse because we're going to have they're going to use this as an excuse to get more US involvement and put troops on the ground and they create the monsters to fight the monsters. They possibly could have a fight on their hands and more instability than they counted on. Oh, they possibly could have a fight on their hands and more instability than they counted on. Oh, of course, both Israel and Washington are at work destroying Syrian air defenses. With so much open territory, it will make it difficult for the jihadists to establish control over the territory they have conquered with the active help of Turkey, washington and Israel and the stand-down help of Russia and Iran. That's the question. What was the stand-down? Too many fronts.
Speaker 3:The question is, what will Washington, israel and Turkey do to dispose of the tool that they once used to destroy Syria? What Washington and Israel have going for them is that Muslims have been split since the fight over the succession of Muhammad. The Sunnis and the Shia hate one another more than they hate their Western and Israeli oppressors. For now, as UK Ambassador Craig Murray explains, as uk ambassador craig murray explains, turkey and the gulf state accept the annihilation of the palestinian nation and the creation of greater israel in return for the annihilation of shia minorities of syria and lebanon and the imposition of solificism across the eastern Arab world. The Russian government shows no understanding of the consequences of greater Israel. Alan Sabrowski concludes that Russia was not willing to fight as hard as the Syrians' defenses of Washington and Israel to fight for Syria's downfall. The road to Iran is now clear. That's what this is about, folks.
Speaker 3:Meanwhile, while you're watching the stock market and you're getting the euphoria of the post-election green light, there's other green lights that are given. The grand chess board is being set and it looks like the war pigs and the neocons who I open up. I've almost on episode 500 of this program, every program I've ever opened up. I talk about the neocons. I need you to know who they are. It's one of the reasons I got into politics, one of the reasons that these are demonic. They hijacked everything. And if you turn on conservative talk radio which I'm done with and there's all kinds of reasons why, but it's not a place I can grow and it's not a place I can grow and it's not a place I can go, because they believe this crap and they think that neocons and Now they have terms like China hawk what is that? That didn't exist 10 years ago, didn't exist five years ago and you're just hopping on some bandwagon. It's bizarre, absolutely bizarre.
Speaker 3:But that's where all this lies is in the seed for war, because it perpetuates the state. It's the health of the state and they just got to have it. They can't have peace and prosperity, they can't have us creating a better century, they can't have us making innovations. They got to keep us down. They have to keep us in the trenches. They have to keep us again. They use the Malthusian trifecta of famine, pestilence and war and I hate these headlines. It's absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 3:What was Syria doing that threatened anyone in the region? Just existing, I mean. They couldn't even make a good case for and they failed so badly. You know, remember it was laughable. This has been 11 years ago and I got this is when I was telling the story about that's when the radio station realized in Dallas that I was not what they thought I was. They thought I was like oh, he's a vet, he's a combat vet and a paratrooper. He's going to be all about these wars. Every other host was promoting intervention and boots on the ground and I was saying this was a setup, a lie, a false flag. A false flag. This was an inside job and it was to get troops over to the Middle East to serve those agendas.
Speaker 3:The seven countries in five years, the neocon plan of Satanism. That's what they're just satanic. I don't just disagree with them, they are absolutely, really evil. So when you see like they're all over the Republican Party, they have nothing to do with conservatism. Their roots are in Leon Trotsky. They are revolutionaries. And I mean that when I say their roots are in Leon Trotsky, you have to go back to Irving Kristol, bill Kristol's father, bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard. You know he was part of PNAC, the Project for the New American Century. He was one of the signatories of that. You know September of 2000,. They said that there was a report that they needed a new Pearl Harbor-style event in America to create this rogue state rollback of seven countries in five years One year to almost the day they got it. Do you know what math is? Do you know what statistical probability is? I despise these people.
Speaker 3:The fact that matters most is that throughout the world, the perception is that Washington and Israel have prevailed over Russia. This perception will strengthen Washington and likely have effects on foreign policies and the developments of BRICS. Saudi Arabia, which went so far as to hold joint military maneuvers with Iran again let that sink in and to express an interest in BRICS, will likely reinstate the petrodollar in exchange for Washington's protection against the Israeli government minister who declared that the map of greater Israel now includes Saudi Arabia. Well, there's a whole series of the House of Saud and Israel working together in kind of a backroom. I don't know, but maybe they're in on it together. But there's something to that as well. The extraordinary defeat that Israel and Israeli's American neoconservatives have dealt to Russia and Iran preempts Trump from any peace moves.
Speaker 3:Another possible reason why the West has recovered its hegemony with Russia's defeat in Syria and it's on a roll. Washington will insist on Russia and Iran's obedience. The purpose of Trump's ceasefire in Ukraine is to protect the West from a defeat. As Putin prefers agreements to war, he might fall into the trap and Washington will have succeeded in restoring its hegemony. Did the Russian and Iranian governments understand that the stakes in Syria were Washington's hegemony and Israel's hegemony over the Middle East in the form of greater Israel? Do they realize the enormity of their defeat? It has long been the case. Muslims had rather murder each other than kill their mutual enemies. So says Paul Craig Roberts. Another thing that makes this look even more stupid, because this is.
Speaker 3:I've been listening to talk radio and commentators for years and years 20 plus years, you know and one of the things was there's going to be a caliphate and I always thought where? Because Paul Craig Roberts nails it, you know he's talking. There's so many factions. It's like when we invaded Iraq and Donald Rumsfeld, you know, in a McNamarian style statistician, decided to keep it with 50,000 troops and it'll be lean in me, you know. They started rolling the tanks out and I thought well, why would you get rid of tanks you still have?
Speaker 3:The first night I was in Iraq, I just sat on the Humvee. We it's one of the Kurdish kids had some scotch, you know we got some. I was sipping, somepping some whiskey, watching the just all the gunfire go and it was like people were killing each other and I just sat and I turned to my friend. I said who's killing who? You know, it's not a, it's not a cut and dry thing, it's not like there's an iraqi army, it falls and then you control the country, or, as general millie thought. You know, general millie, that's supposedly, supposedly like a god of war. Knows, I went to all these war colleges, four star head of the chief of staffs. He said power is in a building because, you know, the J6ers almost overthrew the Constitution by being in a building. Well, if that's the case, then why don't we just occupy all the Iraqi buildings and we just say hooray and raise the flag? It doesn't work that way. Power abhors and nature abhors. A vacuum, it fills it.
Speaker 3:Extraordinary times, ladies and gentlemen, multiple things going on at once and the stage being set for again this is we're trying to stop one war with the t-shirt man uh, by the way, a very evil person, and I love that. I say that because he is and sun tzu would have agreed with me. An evil man will stand on the ashes of his country and rule over it. And well, everything I've learned from history is there always has to be somebody willing to create inroads for peace. There has to be something and you get peace through strength.
Speaker 3:Like I'm not a dove, I don't believe, like I'm not a pacifist. Matter of fact, I'm more of a hardliner than the neocons, because I don't want to exhaust our forces. They don't believe in strategic strength, they believe in revolution. There's a difference. I'm not a revolutionary in that way, because I think in the revolutionary spirit is the devil, it's evil. That's the difference between the conservative American revolt, which is what it was.
Speaker 3:You got to remember that the British had become an empire. They had thrown out the Magna Carta, they had thrown out centuries of tradition, of self-governance, and there was a conservative revolt restoring that. That's what it was. And of course they overshot it and made the Constitution and created its own country, and that's what the American colonies were. But there's a difference between that revolt restoring things because the British Empire, again an empire, started acting imperial, and the French Revolution, which was absolutely demonic. They went in and destroyed the churches, took out the icons. They reburied people, took them out of church cemeteries and buried them elsewhere and created the Church of Reason and they just had the reign of. It's called the reign of terror. They just guillotined people. Robespierre, they even tried to. They almost killed Thomas Paine, writer of Common Sense and the Rights of man, and Thomas Paine was over there promoting human liberty, but that's not what they were after. Over there, promoting human liberty, but that's not what they were after.
Speaker 3:In the spirit of the revolution of the mob is evil Usually. Sometimes you can have a righteous revolution, but it's pretty rare. What you find most of the time is just hate. You've got to watch that. You have to push back on that. You have to have control of your faculties and reason things out or it gets into what it is now. You just join the crowd.
Speaker 3:They want to take us to war folks, and this program will be dedicated to opposing that. And this program will be dedicated to opposing that. I will oppose that at the cost of everything, because it's pure evil. What they're doing this is land grabs. It's just displacement of people. If you've ever like, you, get to see the aftermath and walk the streets of a place where there's a smart bomb that went off and meanwhile there's some you know, degenerate, you know draft dodger in Washington DC hitting buttons, blowing up apartment buildings In downtown Mosul. I've seen what that does and I have to live with that. And these idiots want to just keep pushing buttons. And for what?
Speaker 3:This is the quintessential example of what happened to the Roman Empire. There was projection of power outwards and neglect inwards. It was the alpha and omega. Invade the world, invite the world the beginning and the end. You invade outwards, you invite the rest. You lose your culture, you lose everything that it means to be a Roman, and then you die. There's no center. When the faith dies, the culture dies, the people die. All right, tony, I know, I know, I know, I know. Well, it's almost Christmas, right?
Speaker 3:Well, one last article before we go here. We got a little bit more time now that I'm not going to be on traditional talk radio anymore. I'm not even going to air my episodes anymore. Is anyone listening? Does anybody want to hear that greater Israel is a thing? Because it certainly is. Let's do one last article. Let's talk about finances, which you know. It's still an opportunity there. All right, let's stop the screen. Put this one up. This is Kitco. Beans was telling me to move on Like you got to get off the war thing, dad. All right, and I want to add some of my take on this as well.
Speaker 3:It says Bitcoin remains a speculative vehicle and won't work as a reserve. I prefer gold, says Ray Dalio. It says even with Bitcoin trading above $100,000 and a crypto-friendly US administration taking office this new year, legendary investor and Bridgewater Associate founder, ray Dalio, still chooses gold. It says I have a small percentage of my portfolio in crypto, he said in a recent interview. He said I prefer gold. Dalio added that his exposure to both cryptocurrencies and precious metals is driven by the necessity of holding alternative forms of money. Bitcoin and gold have both enjoyed banner years, with King Crypto gaining 130% in 2024, while gold is up nearly 32% year to date.
Speaker 3:Well, I agree with Ray Dalio here in some respects and I'm very bullish on Bitcoin because I fight myself, because I was talking to David Knight this morning. I said well, if there is civilization and we avoid Armageddon and markets continue to dump a lot of the fake, because you're in a perpetual motion machine of trying to keep up with fiat currency, it's never going to keep up fiat currency. It's never going to keep up. You have to always be moving things around. Bitcoin has its place and I think a lot of the governments will pick up bitcoin along the lines of what trump talked about in nashville, and it could become a strategic reserve asset. That's where game theory kicks in and you could see as long as the.
Speaker 3:I do think and this isn't like financial advice but if you look at Bitcoin and you look at its history, if there is not a major geopolitical disruption like nuclear warfare or something catastrophic or cataclysmic, then a million dollar Bitcoin at the end of the decade is reasonable. Just based off the history of what it's already done. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. But gold is always going to be. If you read history, gold is always going to have its place as a monetary asset in the human story. It just is.
Speaker 3:So will silver. If you read the Bible, it's all in there, I mean and again it predates that it goes back thousands of years. Pretty much any and all recorded history has gold and silver in it. We use it in our jewelry, we use it in our technology, we use it in our medicine both of those pressures. So it's always going to have some sort of role and it's not an either, or it's another thing that I find fascinating. Like you get people that are all into gold or they're all into silver and all into Bitcoin, it doesn't. They're all useful in a timeline of shifting value. Line of shifting value. You know the dollar. You look at the damage done to the dollar.
Speaker 3:Just go back to the opening article that I read today. Janet Yellen added 46% of all the debt ever created was created in the last four years. Let that sink in. Do you think that trend continues? And we weren't even you know we weren't even in an external cataclysm like we were in World War II, when we had, you know, 125% of debt to GDP. There's, I mean, if you count the war against its own people, which governments around the world are doing? I mean, if you count the war against its own people, which governments around the world are doing? By the way, there is something I couldn't confirm before the show, but it's something that the WEF, the World Economic Forum, was doing. I'll try to confirm by next week and I'll bring you an article on it about the age of consent, not only for minors and things that are adult, but dying A consent to die I could not confirm it on those who control the money supply and the ability for us just to continue to innovate and create alternative forms of value. So it is interesting Something to watch, folks.
Speaker 3:Let me give you spot prices for gold and silver real quick, and we're going to sign off Today. The yellow metal 2,684 Luciferian Bankster notes make a troy ounce of gold. Silver $31.05 per ounce for the white metal Both are down today. Gold's down like $36. This is a trend that will not continue. There's going to be, I think, after the beginning of the year, not financial advice, but, I think, a lot of these big banks and financial institutions predicting $3,000 an ounce gold. I think that they're probably onto something, and the same thing for silver, both undervalued in the face of just again. Go back and look at the debt created, the currency creation, and you will see why I'm in the business that I'm in.
Speaker 3:But I appreciate everyone. Thanks for being here. I'll be back next week. All new episode and don't forget America Unplugged and Paratroother should have new episodes coming out this weekend as well, so make sure you subscribe to those podcasts and channels. I appreciate each and every one of you, from Beans, the Brave Myself and the Wise Wolf crew have a great weekend. Take care of each other. End of transmission.
