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 2:What did I miss? It's deja vu all over again. Ladies and gentlemen, are you enjoying your halftime show? We're officially halfway through the great reset decade. I remember opening up in 2020, almost exactly five years ago to the day, filling in for the great David Knight. It was the first show on the InfoWars network of the new decade and it started out with a bang much like this, where Trump had ordered the assassination of the Iranian General Soleimani and the hashtag was World War III. But that's kind of right, it was World War III, except all the governments of the world were uniting in a Rockefeller lockstep fashion against their own people, and we learned that through the COVID-1984 lockdowns and President Fauci and all of that. But you know, really, folks, the quote from Vladimir Lenin where there's decades where nothing happens and weeks where decades happen. That's true for this decade, except it's a decade where decades happen weekly, it seems, and we'll try to cover it to the best of our ability here. This is the Art of Burn.
Speaker 2:Radio Transmission. We're broadcasting from deep within the heart of Texas. I'm streaming out on Worldwide Christian Radio. I don't know if I told you guys that last time we picked up the WWCR signal, that was the home station for William Cooper and then Alex Jones, and then I have the channel that Alex had for many, many years. As I picked that up, we're going to be there for a long time as long as I can hold that contract. I love WWCR and I love shortwave and terrestrial radio. I've left traditional talk radio for good. I won't be on any more commercial networks. I'm building my own network and I hope you'll go check out freeworldfm. That's going to be a lifeboat for free speech and many great broadcasters are already there and many will be joining us. I'll be working on that in 2025, so go check out freeworldfm. It's the 2nd of January 2025.
Speaker 2:This is episode 494 of the Arterburn Radio Transmission and we've got a special broadcast for episode 500. I've been thinking about what I want to do. I may have Mr Anderson join us on that one. I wonder what you could if you could put all 500 episodes together. I wonder if you could learn anything. I wonder if there's anything to. We should put it together and see if there's anything coded in it, but we'll jump right into today's headlines. Of course.
Speaker 2:Again starts out the year with a bang. You can't even take a day off in this great reset news cycle and there's a reason for that. It's called Tempo. I don't know if I've spoken on this many, many times, but if you've listened to the show for years, it's something a military term called tempo and what it means is just always keep your enemy off balance. Even if you can't destroy them, you keep them off balance, always just annoying here and annoying there and irritating, and that's what all of our news cycles are. Whenever you get comfortable with one narrative, it shifts to the other. Oh, does anybody even remember the drones? Remember the drones? No, of course you don't, because I've got the headline from Drudge right now and I've brought books on with me today I've been thinking about, I wanted to cite some information in real time. You always hear me pull from my stream of consciousness, but let's pull from David Icke's the Trigger here in a second.
Speaker 2:But I'm going to get into the headline on Drudge. Let's put this up, and not that I like. I mean Drudge is basically this is what the intelligence agencies want you to talk about. This is the Operation Mockingbird prescription daily. But let's put this up on the screen and let's check out this headline and we're going to do an analysis that the mainstream is not going to do because they don't know this, or if they do, they're going to go willfully ignorant. This is the Army vet.
Speaker 2:Terrorists and officials probe military link to the two different attacks Las Vegas and New Orleans, to the two different attacks Las Vegas and New Orleans the Matthew Leibsberger. He was a merry Green Beret from Colorado Springs. We're going to get into that in a second. But they're looking into and I'm going to jump to Zero Hedge. They're looking into the possible links between these two things. And, yeah, you know, wherever you have this kind of coordination that's what it appears like to me they'll throw it out there as absolute coincidence. But I'm going to get into a story that again. Let's look at this zero hedge article. Let me pull this down real quick. This is just again. I'm just testing the waters and get it to the screen here. This is, uh, zero hedge and feds probe possible military link between suspects in the bourbon street massacre and trump hotel cyber truck blast. This is zero. Head says welcome to 2025. Yeah, again, welcome to 2025, welcome to tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Ladies and gents, federal authorities and investigative teams are probing a potential military connection between us army veteran who displayed an islamic state flag isis. Does anybody remember when they try to rebrand that like from coke classic to uh, to regular coke? When it was, I remember it was isis. And then they're like, oh wait, that has too many esoteric meanings. Uh, isil tried to rebrand it. They're always doing, they're very clever with that. Uh, they had a head of islamic flag hell bent on causing maximum damage by steering a Ford F-150 Lightning EV they're both EVs Into a crowd on Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 and injuring dozens, and another US Army veteran who drove an explosives-filled Tesla Cybertruck EV that detonated almost like a vifette outside Trump's Las Vegas hotel. Just after the Bourbon Street massacre.
Speaker 2:Two law enforcement sources familiar with the New Orleans truck terror ramming attack and the Las Vegas incident told NBC News that federal investigative teams are probing a potential military connection between the two individuals involved in both attacks. You think so, and if you read into the suspect, matthew Leibelsberger, whatever his name is if you read into him, he was, of course, the Green Beret and he was apparently anti-Trump, going all the way back to 2016. And I've spoken about this before there is a school of thought, and it's not all the military, but in some of the elite units there are some, especially those who have links to intelligence, where you can see that germ of the Trotskyite revolutionary strain, and what I mean by that is they really don't have affiliation with the nation state. They don't really feel like America is a place for defending all on its own, for its own sake. It's more of an ideas based. You see that in those who want to fight in Ukraine, who want to fight in Syria to help al-Qaeda overthrow Assad, there is a strain of that running through elite units and in the military. There's many people. You can find them on Twitter or social media. They're very virulent, very, very pro-war.
Speaker 2:And with Trump running in 2016, if you remember, he was challenging Hillary Clinton who wanted to shoot down Russian aircraft who were bombing al-Qaeda, which is supposed to be our mortal enemy. I'm going to read about that here in a second. They're supposed to be shooting down Russian aircraft, you know, so we could protect al-Qaeda. That's what she was running on. And Trump back then he was opposing that, saying it was stupid. And, of course, I was opposing any military intervention in the Middle East in general, but especially in Syria, because it made absolutely no sense. By the way, that cost me a great deal of a great deal of love from any broadcasting company that I was on. They thought I was the traditional combat veteran and it turned out that I was skeptical of foreign intervention and I loved the Constitution, so they wanted nothing to do with me at that point. So let's dig into this for a second.
Speaker 2:And again, the headline is about the Army vet terrorist official probe of military link. Well, because we have. There were. Like Gore Vidal said, we're the United States of amnesia. Nobody really remembers certain events in the past with the same kind of signatures on them, certain events in the past with the same kind of signatures on them. Well, I do, because that's the wheelhouse. I live in History and you know, this little cul-de-sac of alternative history is something I love and I remember. As I watched these headlines unfold over the last 24 hours or so, I started thinking about the meeting. Then this is, by the way, this is a documented, this is an FBI file Back in the late 90s this was documented actually mid to late 90s and in 1994, there were two men that and this is weird because I'm broadcasting on Bill Cooper's station right now, where he originally talked about this he had an office, a broadcasting office and a shopping center and two men came to his office, his library, his studio, and they wanted to talk to him and one of the men identified themselves as Timothy McVeigh.
Speaker 2:Now this is 1994, late 94, going into 95. And everybody remembers Oklahoma City 1995, right. Well, these two men came in and they said they were working with the Army. Now Tim McVeigh had been out of the Army for years. After that he tried out for Special Forces and went through SFAS. I know what that is, that's a Special Forces Assessment Selection Program. He went through that. He failed. He probably failed for multiple reasons, but he got out of the Army. He was very disaffected and bitter and got into some of the Turner Diaries and all a bunch of extreme right wing, if you want to call it that. But it got into some of the Turner diaries and all a bunch of, you know, extreme right wing, if you want to call it that. But it got into some of the darker corners of the anti-government stuff. And he's out there roaming free, listening to Bill Cooper showing up at different events. This is post-Ruby Ridge but before and, of course, post-waco, and so he was at Waco. He shows up, then he shows up to Bill Cooper's studio.
Speaker 2:Well, the second man was never identified but they said they were working with the Army. This again, this is in a documented FBI file. And both men claimed that they were chipped. They were. They had tracking chips implanted in them. The other gentleman who was again never identified, he had said he had one in his shoulder and Bill Cooper felt that and said it was like a lump in the shoulder.
Speaker 2:And then Timothy McVeigh said that his implant was in his right buttock and he wanted Bill to take a look. And Bill said no. And afterwards Bill said I wish I would have taken him up on the offer. He was so weirded out and he asked him a few questions that were very strange, like if we get pulled over, if I get pulled over, what should I do? And Bill Cooper said show them your ID, you comply. What else? What do you mean? What are you going to do? And it was just very all loaded questions like something could link. You know again, this is after Bill Cooper was called the most dangerous radio host in America by the Clinton administration and so there was a lot of heat on him. So they for some reason, timothy McVeigh, showed up to talk to Bill Cooper and with another unidentified person who said they were both working for the military and before he left, getting in that same I think he had like a olive, drab, green, whatever old car it was that Tim McVeigh drove. He looked over his shoulder and he told Bill, look out for Oklahoma City. So that really happened.
Speaker 2:You know, that's not just a made up shock jock. Bill Cooper was not like that. He didn't like. He was an intellectual, very much a thinking man's analyst, and he'd be on the edge of things that way out there. But it was not for shock value, it's not what he did. If you really look at the bulk of his work it was deep dives into the nature of reality itself and he paid a high price for not jumping on bandwagons.
Speaker 2:And gosh, I have to. This is almost episode 500 of my radio show and I love my audience. It's a niche audience because I don't jump on bandwagons. I know I could but I don't. And the reason I don't is because I want to cover stuff like this and tell you what I just told you, which you you know. You go over to another country and you invade sovereign territory, you blow things up, you have collateral damage, you create terrorists. Those things exist, and when you have a wide, open border, you certainly are going to feel the after effects of your decisions. There is something to that. You know the law of cause and effect, but most of this is internal. So I can't tell you for sure that there's linkages between these two guys, but if they're from the same you know, if they were working in the same military bases, around the same things, who knows, you know? But these are the questions you ought to ask, and you ought to ask him too, like why, at the beginning of the year, we have to reset the narrative. It's very much like a recipe, isn't it? They have the last quarter of the year. We've got drones, financial issues, of course, the election.
Speaker 2:The biggest issue with the election for me was that the green lights, all the green lights, were there. The skids were greased. None of the pallets of bricks were laid out. The coordinated effort to fly people coast to coast to burn things down weren't there. The screaming at the sky, the talk show hosts that were calling for armed revolution weren't there. All this stuff. I'm talking about the normal blowback that you would have seen if the buttons were pushed to do that. For some reason there was a stand down, but now you see us going into 2025, and we're in the first two days, and this is the tempo that you're going to see, and though this will be forgotten too probably not by yours truly I will remember this, but this will be forgotten too and what's coming next, which are the cycles of geopolitical tension and finance and the. You know what's going on with de-dollarization, all the stuff that we're going to cover. But just if you take away anything else from this broadcast, think about the story I just told you. You know these again we're going to I want to jump into something here.
Speaker 2:In a second too, there was a CIA spokeswoman who came out, and I want to talk about setting the stage for you to accept that the war on terror is back on. You know it's part two, the reckoning trademark. That's what they're doing. They're just going to build. They're building it back better. You know you thought it was gone and just when they think it's over, they got the sequel, or the prequel. They're going to bring it all out again, and that's what I was covering. You know, five years ago, we and that's what I was covering, you know, five years ago we had the. Remember the war on the global, the global war on terror. The original name for the war in Iraq was Operation Iraqi Liberation, until somebody pointed out it spelled oil, and we're going to talk a little bit about oil too today. A lot of people forget just a little tidbit about Syria that you probably don't know. I learned as a young man something about Syria that isn't in the headlines and certainly isn't in the mainstream narrative at all.
Speaker 2:All right, I want to jump into this article and, by the way, I'll be checking the chat over on Rockfin and on the America Unplugged channel, as well as Rumble. On the America Unplugged channel. I got a lot of changes I'm going to be making this year on the show and how you can interact with it. But if you want to comment there, or on my Twitter as well, you can comment. If you've got questions or you want to interject, I'll do my best, as I am my own producer and I've got Beans the Brave here with me. She's taking a nap over by the heater it's a little bit cold, uh, here in Denison, texas and she's uh, she's, uh, uh, preserving all of her strengths and all her reserves to go out and bark later. So, um, she's, she's not helping me produce right now.
Speaker 2:All right, let me jump into, uh, this article, because I I really article, because I really want to dive into this, because this is part of the narrative, right, you start with an event and then you get a comment or a setting in place of those who have an agenda and they want you to accept something. It's kind of like when you have a financial crisis and you have to first set up a boogeyman. Like it's an outside source, like we didn't do it, it was somebody else. Like you know, remember, it was Putin's price hike for inflation. Like it's pretty, it's pretty far reaching to blame Vladimir Putin's Russia, who has a, who has a, an economy that's just about the size of Texas, and you're blaming him for the inflation of the almighty dollar. But that's what they did. It's always an external enemy. It's China is recently hacking the financial system. China hacked the Treasury Sure I can buy that, right. The Chinese balloon, the Chinese hack on the treasury Sure. Like they need that for us to destroy our currency. All right, let me put this up on the screen. This is also zero hedge and this is in the same line of logic that we're talking on now Former CIA officer warns 1,000 Al Qaeda fighters in US for next homeland attack.
Speaker 2:Can I just say for the record that I despise the word, the nomenclature of homeland. What other land is there? I mean, if you don't control it, it doesn't make any sense. It's very Third Reich-ish. I don't like the term homeland. I never understood the Department of Homeland Security. I don't understand that either. I mean you had the FBI, and the CIA supposedly weren't talking for 9-11, so you create a third bureaucracy. Uh-huh, when I ran for Congress, I remember the Dallas Morning News interview. They asked me what agencies would you cut? I'm like, oh, the DHS for sure. And they're like why? I'm like you don't know why.
Speaker 2:In a recent discussion on the Sean Ray Show, former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams warned of a potentially devastating attack planned by Al Qaeda terrorists on American soil. The interview offers significant insights into what may be unfolding, as Al Qaeda sleeper cells could be activating to wake up in the wake of the New Orleans terrorist attack and a possible vehicle-borne improvised explosive device in the rear of a Tesla-rented cyber truck that exploded outside of Trump's hotel in Las Vegas just hours earlier. Ryan asks I just wanted to clarify. You are 100% certain that there are 1,000-plus al-Qaeda-trained fighters within US borders. He says well, al-qaeda says they trained and deployed 1,000 for this attack. First off, I think there are more than 1,000 al-Qaeda members in the United States, but for the homeland attack that number is based on what al-Qaeda is saying, so they could exaggerate it. However, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas attack, so the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's a lot of word salad and that's what you usually get from this kind of stuff, if you they have a, they have a cadence in a certain dialect, a certain way of speaking. You saw that from remember the. Of course this is a memory. Remember the second assassination attempt on Trump and the guy that was like coordinating fighters from all over the world to get to Ukraine, like pulling them from places like Afghanistan or wherever he was pulling them from to funnel them into Ukraine. It's very much an operative, very much an operator. There's operators speaking there. He says there's too much of this happening and when an attack on our homeland emanating from Afghanistan occurs, the resulting moral injury will be catastrophic. Those who served deserve far better than this.
Speaker 2:And then you get this comment from General Flynn, who served as national security advisor to Trump, well, I mean, like for a week or two. Again, it is not what you call it. In the end, what matters is there was an intelligence prior in some agency or department and it wasn't acted upon. A failure of decision makers, not a failure of intelligence. Prevention is what we shoot for and what the hard work of intelligence does. So, says General Michael Flynn.
Speaker 2:And let me just start. Let me do this. Uh, as we this, this is again. They're creating a, a new spin on all of this, and I don't know the meaning behind it, but you can feel it. You know they have to. There's a narrative reshuffling that's going on. New administration, new problems. Uh, very much, like you know, know the beginning of 2020, where you had this massive, perceived something and then you had to put your eyes on it while something else is happening. I always try to figure out what, like, when these headlines are going on, what we all should be doing is figuring out what else is happening, and I think I know. But let's jump into this.
Speaker 2:This is a book by David Ike. It's called the trigger. I'm going to reread this, especially in this season where it looks like we're going to be talking more and more about uh, you know, the forever war. Um Gore Vidal said it was. The war on tariff was terror. It was like a war on dandruff. Let's see if we can go through this really quick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is former British Secretary Robin Cook, who resigned from the Blair government over the invasion of Iraq in 2003, said publicly that the very name al-Qaeda came courtesy of the CIA. He said the term means the base or database, and referred to again this is a high government official in the British government and said it referred to the database of Musha Hadin fighters brought together to fight the Soviets, cook said in 2005. The truth is there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called al-Qaeda and any informed intelligence officer knows this, but there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an intensified entity representing the devil, only in order to drive TV watchers to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the United States. Well, I've mentioned this many times and I've've never actually cited, and there's more citations. This is a tome. It's a huge book, great resource. If you have a chance, you should go buy it in paperback. I don't think he even sells it in Kindle or digital form, but that's a good thing to have.
Speaker 2:Again, what do these headlines mean? You have the possible linkage of two coordinated attacks possibly, right, and then you've got the military link there. I told you about Bill Cooper, I told you about Tim McVeigh and then you got the conveniently you've got the spokesperson who keeps saying homeland over and over again, and you know he wants you to accept that there's a homeland and we have to. And all of this has ties back to the global war on terror, which is never ending. It's like a, you know, it's a treasure trove. They can get the kitty. They can go back at two at any time they want.
Speaker 2:Take the cookie out of the cookie jar, whether that's, you know, the crackdown on personal liberties. You know, just for the children, we have to, for the sake of everyone, we have to strip you of your constitutional rights. It's what the Patriot Act was to get you to accept this. Also, it gets, you know, they. First of all, they collapse the border. They allow these, you know, socialist billionaires and multinational banking consortiums to fund caravans of people showing them, you know, giving them visa cards and showing them maps and how to get there. And they have these massive waves of illegal immigration and crushing the border.
Speaker 2:You have that At the same time. You have the Washington lawmakers, who complete traitors to the United States of America, who create a welfare state, who have blurred the lines between what a citizen actually is and whether you can vote, and all the rest just trying to demoralize you on every single level. So you're like well, I thought this was the United States of America, I thought we had a country. Well, unfortunately, you know, the political class doesn't see this as a country. They see it as an economic region in the new world order. And you're just stuck here. And that's the way they see it. And that's again. That's the demoralization. Anybody could cross the border. Anything could happen. The tell whether or not something is real anymore is the border itself. It's a great barometer.
Speaker 2:Going back to something Jim Mars said at post 9-11. We have to go to Afghanistan. I was one of those people. I have to go to Afghanistan. I was one of those people. I had to go to Iraq. We've got to fight the global war on terror. Saddam's got a death ray. There's weapons of mass destruction. Dick Cheney called it the 1% chance or whatever. You have to completely mobilize everything trillions and trillions of dollars, currency creation and debt and blood and treasure to fight this invisible enemy that you can't see. You can't see the hijackers, the passport's found in the rubble right, but you can't see them.
Speaker 2:Meanwhile, and I remember thinking this as we corkscrew, landed in a C-17 into Kandahar, afghanistan, I was on a show the other day and they said oh, what years were you in Afghanistan? Was it 2003 or 2004? And I'm like 2001. 2001. I just turned 22, landing in Kandahar, afghanistan, and I remember thinking, as we landed there, I thought well, four planes take off from inside the continental United States and strike targets. Well, one of them crashed in Pennsylvania. It was most likely shot down and it's debatable on what happened to the Pentagon. But I'm in Afghanistan, I was 22. I was thinking that was pretty strange.
Speaker 2:And then you get to Afghanistan and it's, you know, a blown out road warrior, impoverished country. Very, it's tragic. It has a lot of beauty, but it's tragic, you know, between the revolutions, the CIA-backed coups, the British, the Soviets, everything. It's really sad. But I was there and I remember thinking that doesn't make any sense. Well, of course it doesn't. We have an invisible enemy and you didn't close down the border. So Jim Mars was right. That was the tell in 2001 and in 2002.
Speaker 2:We didn't do anything about the poorest, wide-open US border. You could do pretty much. You know. You can sneak drugs, human trafficking. I've seen videos of whatever they are cartels or paramilitary in formation crossing the border in formation crossing the border over into our country. And again, nobody's stopping that. There's a whole lot of hoopla.
Speaker 2:Trump said he couldn't build the wall because of the budget. But he's commander-in-chief. You can just actually order it built. If you can drop bombs on Syria, you can secure the United States border. That's pretty apparent. You have that authority. But that wasn't exercised.
Speaker 2:Again, they did the same thing for COVID-1984. Same thing it's an invisible enemy, you can't see. And if that was the case, if we, you know, have to stop flights and everything, why don't we do anything about the border? They didn't do anything about the border. It's a convenience for them. Because, hey, if there's something we have actual, legitimate blowback from one of these splinter groups, you can't run a coordinated, centralized terror network. Really, I mean not, really Not.
Speaker 2:If you're opposing superpowers. It doesn't work. By the way. The superpowers are the ones that put it in. You know, if there is anything centralized, it's the superpowers that put it into effect. It's a convenient boogeyman.
Speaker 2:You go back to 1979 and the introduction of Tim Osmond. I've talked about this many times. Tim Osmond is Osama bin Laden. He went to the Pentagon. That's his code name. George HW Bush was meeting with the bin Laden family at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel with the Carlyle Group on September 11, 2001. You find that to be statistically probable. These are interlinked things and that's what we're watching. So remember the invisible enemy, remember that the border is a barometer, and I would tell you that you're going to see more of this kind of stuff moving forward.
Speaker 2:I'm going to check the comments. Sunshine and rainbows at the Arterburn Radio Transmission. Ladies and gents, I'll check the comments. I'll go to Rumble. Hey, thanks everybody for being here and we're going to do so much cool stuff on this channel. Guard Goldsmith says he's got to get on the exercise bike and listen to Tony. Yeah, keep your heart rate at a decent level. Keep your heart strong, keep healthy gonna. We're gonna need guard goldsmith's brain, so keep blood pumping to it in this air guard. Yeah, go check out guard goldsmith's channel.
Speaker 2:Liberty conspiracy folks. Uh, just a magnificent renaissance gentleman, great thinker and lover of liberty, uh, harps over on uh, the rumble channel says, uh, yeah, the eye of the tornado. Uh, who's to say what's for me to say? That's a great, isn't that a great song? I thought I'd start out. That's what I felt like this morning. So I put on a little bit of uh, mega death cover for the eye of the tornado. Thanks for being here.
Speaker 2:Harps homeland equals wizard of oz. That's right. Well, the wizard of oz is, uh, we're going to do a paratrooper on that. So much allegory. In the wizard of oz itself, oz means ounce right and the wizard of oz is an allegory and a critique. Uh, on the uh fiat versus gold silver standard. You know that's, the yellow brick road is gold and the, the uh wizard lives in the emerald palace, which is the green back, and dorothy clicks her silver slippers in the book l frank bomb, not her ruby red slippers.
Speaker 2:It's good to see all of you. Yeah, I'm going to. Uh, let's see what rockfin's up to. We got, oh've got, a pretty decent amount of folks watching over on Rockfin. Let's see. I'll go back to the beginning here. Steve Swann's over there. Jason Barker. Yeah, jason Barker's streaming us over on freeworldfm. Thank you, jason. Got a good crowd over on Rockfin. Got a good a good crowd over on on Rockfin. Yeah, the Jason Barker mentioned what I said.
Speaker 2:Anyone noticed that the drone frenzy was in the forefront of the media while they passed the omnibus and then it went away. Yes, I noticed that too. Always, you know, take these headlines for is with a grain of salt. You know, stay frosty, keep your head on a swivel. This is, you know, take these headlines with a grain of salt, stay frosty, keep your head on a swivel, keep your mind, protect your mind, because that is the most important asset you have, especially in these times, and it's easy to go mad trying to keep up with it. I'm just doing the best I can. I'm a paratrooper who likes books. Ladies and gents, yes.
Speaker 2:Steve Swan says the Turner Diaries by the late great Dr William Pierce. Pierce was a harsh critic of Zionism. He soon caught a heart attack. Yeah, I read the book. I just meant behind, you know, there was this and I think there was demonized for a certain reason. I've talked many times about Tim McVeigh, the response to that, and I was part of them. I was a kid, 1994. I was 14 years old. My dad was taking me to see Colonel Bo Greitz speak.
Speaker 2:You know they based the character Rambo off of this guy. He was an integral part of the 1980s and early 90s for the constitutional movement in America and that all died. When Oklahoma City happened, it just they, you know, tried to. They tied, they make a linkage between a monster, whoever you know, and it wasn't tim mcveigh. I mean tim mcveigh was a kind of lee harvey oswald type character, in my opinion, out in front of that and they just sullied everything that was going on in that movement. Uh, with tim mcveigh, that's a. The tragedy of oklahoma city was in large part a way to kill that movement. So no, I wasn't disparaging the book, I just meant that's what they're putting out there as being bad, right? Yeah, dustin Helms, how could they possibly know if they weren't monitoring them? Great question. Yeah, there's a lot to unpack here, folks. We'll do our best here on the transmission.
Speaker 2:I'm reading some comments. Oh, this is an active chat. I appreciate everybody. I'm going to jump back into the show, but I was reading comments. I need to get a producer and you know Beans does the best job she can, but she gets distracted really easy. All right, let's jump into some more headlines.
Speaker 2:So let's talk a little bit of finance. First of all, I want to read you. I love Gold Telegraph, gold Telegraph over on X. I don't have any affiliation, but an intelligent stream on X and I thought he put out a couple of posts I want to read, and then we're going to jump into an article. And then I want to talk about CBDC. By the way, you know, everything going on in Syria is we're still kind of. You know, if we have a chance to talk geopolitics within the hour, I don't think we will, but I'll just tell a quick story and we may elucidate more on that in the next show next week. But if you notice, like you know, the power struggle in Syria and everything that's gone on since 2012 has been horrific. You know, assad was not friendly in many ways to international finance and other things. We learned the lessons of a lot of dictators and he had close ties to Russia, which again, central banking, all the things that we've thrown out there.
Speaker 2:But I was, as a young man, I spent some time with a real what they call a wildcat, or like somebody who had gone around the world looking for oil to you know, putting holes in the ground, getting oil out of it, like he was somebody they sent out Texas guy, just extremely bright historical knowledge. You know they'd send him out to drill oil or find oil or whatever. And he went to Syria several times and he had some, he owned some rights to some Syrian oil fields. And he told me once he said well, you know who owns all. So there's, you know, those are the pipelines and the underlying pipelines, the interconnectivity, all the major wells and then the transport. And this was right when Syria kicked off. And he told me he said well, tony, I don't know if you know this, but a lot of people don't, but the entity that owns all of the pipelines in Syria for the oil is a subsidiary. It's a holding company for the CIA. So think about that. This is a tweet by Gold Telegraph and I thought this pretty much summed it up.
Speaker 2:Let me talk a little bit about finance Going into 2025,. The Federal Reserve is still worried about inflation. The European Central Bank is worried about an economic shutdown. The Bank of England is worried about stagflation. The Bank of Japan is confused about stagflation. The Bank of Japan is confused. Canada owns zero gold. It's like I talked with Dave and I and I was like all the fundamentals. I just know that they need a weak dollar. They got to inflate their way out of stuff. So, hey, I'm in the right business.
Speaker 2:If you want to preserve the value of your work, you have to own actual money. You can't do that with fiat currency. It's a big drawback. I mean, you may be able to find liquidity and you may be able to get assets a little bit easier because you can float a little bit longer, but the music always stops. You don't want to get left holding the bag when a currency loses value or collapses in and of itself, imploding like a dying star. You don't want that. So be sure and stay frosty. Do your research and if you want to get precious metals, you reach out to me and you go to wisewolfgold, or you go to wolfpackgold, or just reach out to me on Twitter at Tony Arterburn. Whatever you need to do to get in touch with me, we'll figure out how to put you in some actual money. This is the US dollar share of global foreign exchange reserve held by central banks in 2001. It was 73% and today it's 57.4, lowest in 29 years.
Speaker 2:He said who's ready for trade wars? Well, that's what we're seeing. And then this article by Kitco, and I'll just read a little bit and then we'll jump into CBDC Because that's still. Yeah, don't think that's over with. That is just getting started. When the lizard people at Davos, when they start crowing that they're so happy that 97% of countries have a white paper drawn up on central bank digital currency, it's not going anywhere. Kitcocom China's golden resurgent Net imports via Hong Kong more than double in November.
Speaker 2:Gold premiums rise in December and we saw that China's November net gold imports from Hong Kong more than double in November. Gold premiums rise in December and we saw that China's November net gold imports from Hong Kong more than doubled from the prior month, while the return of price premiums also suggests the world's top gold consumer is getting back into gold in a big way. Well, they never left the underlying weird story about all this. And this is me all the time like digging into this, this stuff and one of the weirdest things and we'll have to cover. We'll cover a lot this year on china, but they've been playing.
Speaker 2:China doesn't think in terms of like months or even like years, they're decades, centuries. You know, napoleon said that china was a sleeping dragon. You ought to let it slumber. Yes, there is something China has after 1971, this is the timeline, you know 71, we go off the gold standard. 72, nixon opens China, along with Henry Kissinger.
Speaker 2:1973, the Trilateral Commission is born. 1974, the united states runs its last trade surplus ever then, never again. And so where did all those trade deficits go? Because trade deficit, there has to be a deficit. It doesn't go into the, it doesn't go into the ether, it goes to somewhere. It enriches something. Well, china. You know, because of the Trilateral Commission and the internationalists, they were able to take American manufacturing and put it somewhere else. This was part of the transference of power into the Asian sphere that the trilateralists wanted the technocrats, and they were able to build this up. Bilateralists, one the technocrats, and they were able to build this up and meanwhile there was this giant lull.
Speaker 2:For a long time, given the 1980s and 1990s, where gold and silver were relatively calm, nothing really happened. There was a lot of emphasis put on the stock market and other things and there was a relatively low inflation. There was inflation, but not like hyper, like we're seeing now, not after the amount of debasement that's taken place, but if you look by memory or look at statistics, gold was flat or would stay in the $300 range. It didn't really move anywhere and there'd be certain spikes in silver, but not really. Warren Buffett took a shot at it, but meanwhile China started to heavily accumulate. As a matter of fact, they started buying blindly. If you look back at the beginning of the century, they were buying it off the books.
Speaker 2:There's been some research to show that China may actually hold more gold reserves than the United States, which would reset the balance of power. If you were to go back to the original standard, it would reset the balance of power and China has 60,000 gold mines and when they find even if you like Robert Kiyosaki, who wrote Rich Dad, poor Dad, when he found a gold mine there like he'd done the research and they were about to renew the permit and the Chinese government took it from him. They wouldn't renew the permit. Then they took the gold. There's a war there and I'm going to bring this into your attention because the trend suggests not only like, oh, they're buying gold again. No, they've been buying it, and some estimates show that they have close to 16,000 tons, and that would be, you know, the United States. Supposedly we haven't done an audit since the 50s, but that would be like 8,000 and some change. So something to this story says China imported a net 33.074 metric tons of gold in November, the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department announced on Monday. This represents a 115 percent increase from the 15.414 tons recorded in October and it's the highest level of net import since April. So post-election, they see the result, and I remember this too. If you watched the election of 2020, when it looked like, you know, trump had the beginning lead and then all the whatever you know the airplanes and dump trucks full of paper ballots, and you know the lockdown election, whatever came in and then he lost. That the Chinese yuan was was down and then it was up. You this has to do a lot with nationalistic policy, so it's a trend to watch.
Speaker 2:Ladies and gents, I'll see if I can get to spot prices here too, before we go. I want to pull up this last article that I want to cover for the day, which is Natural News that I want to cover for the day, which is natural news, again. The thing to watch, right, because it's not necessarily in the headlines. I'm glad that it's in the vernacular, but it's not being talked about as much as it should be, because they need a crisis to implement it. You've got to have a problem-reaction solution for this stuff. Natural News, raymond Tomey is the article that's who it's by. Aaron Day, sounds alarm.
Speaker 2:Central banks create digital totalitarianism through CBDCs central bank digital currencies. Several nations, particularly Vietnam and Kuwait, are implementing central bank digital currencies. Several nations, particularly Vietnam and Kuwait, are implementing central bank digital currencies CBDCs tied to comprehensive digital ID systems, raising significant privacy concerns and sparking debate. Critics, including privacy advocate Aaron Day, argue that CBDCs are setting the stage for a global surveillance state where all financial transactions are monitored and citizens' behavior could be linked to a social credit score. Refusal to comply could result in severe consequences.
Speaker 2:I think I'd be much like the, because I just didn't. I just haven't conformed well to the new order of things. I'm a throwback. Even when I was a kid I'm a throwback and I'd be much like Stallone on Demolition man. Whenever he gets the demerits for whatever language he's using, he keeps getting the demerits for whatever, and that's this social credit score Like. Wherever you are, a little ticket pops out.
Speaker 2:Countries like Vietnam and Kuwait are mandating citizens to register their biometric data fingerprints for access to bank accounts and government services. Noncompliance can lead to the loss of these services. While supporters claim these measures enhance financial inclusion and security, critics view them as steps towards a greater state control over financial behavior. The trend is growing, with 134 countries exploring CBDCs and 11 already launched. Well, that's the proud metrics by your friends at the World Economic Forum, where, you know, really, depopulation enthusiasts disguising themselves as entrepreneurs, not much economics. In the World Economic Forum, privacy advocates and concerned citizens are calling for the reassessment of these policies, emphasizing financial privacy as a fundamental human right. The fight for financial privacy is intensifying globally as more countries adopt these systems.
Speaker 2:Well, that's the war. That's the war you're in. This is fourth dimensional, nonlinear. Fifth dimensional. I guess we're in a completely different world and that will be the fight. You know, just again it's—and the elites are fighting history.
Speaker 2:Decentralization is where history is trending. They can't really stop that. It's like the Soviet Union. They could control it for a while. I mean, you can have a totalitarian, top-down nightmare state for a bit, but eventually it breaks down because you're human beings.
Speaker 2:You know Yuval Harari notwithstanding, who said that man is a hackable animal. Human beings are created in the image of God. God is a creator, god. God wants to create. That's what God does. And if he makes you in his image, then you are de facto creator. And in a state where you're supposed to be all gray, like you know, there is no spirit, there is only the state, and you have to do what the state says and thwart or throttle your own creativity. That stuff breaks down and those civilizations perish. But that's what the elites want. It's a Georgia Guidestones future less than 500 million and for some reason, when you become a multi-billionaire, you get a card that says welcome to the club. Maybe you get a copy of Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, maybe you get that. But they say welcome to the club. You're supposed to be a depopulation enthusiast. Now let's see. Let's dig into this article a little bit more.
Speaker 2:Concerns are backed by recent developments in countries like Vietnam and Kuwait, where citizens are being compelled to register their biometric data. In Vietnam, starting on January 1, 2025, bank accounts not reconciled with biometric data will have their online transactions halted. The push for a cashless society aims to enhance financial inclusion and security, according to supporters. Critics, however, view it as a slippery slope towards more pervasive state control over financial behavior. Well, it's not even about money. Catherine Austen Fitz said it best it's surveillance disguised as money. That's what currency is right? It's an electric current. Yeah, they pushing to fight fraud with CBDC is. This is the always. It's always to protect you.
Speaker 2:Proponents argue these measures are necessary to prevent fraud and ensure financial stability. Critics like day, however, seem see them as steps towards a dystopian future where every person's behavior and transactions are monitored by essential authority. All you need is history to be your guide. You just have to listen to what Lord Acton said Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. You give this authority to a central bank and you make it necessary for those transactions, for any economy to work, has to be on your system. Then you're certainly going to have a social credit score. You're going to have you get debanked by the Fed, like there is no turning back at that point and it's the end of politics. If it's allowed to be implemented as they see it, which I think, they'll implement it.
Speaker 2:I just think if we do our job and we talk to our friends, families, neighbors, we share things and we raise consciousness about what central bank digital currency is. We work on the local and state level. We do what we can. I'm doing what I can. If we all do what we can, it'll be inert. It'll exist. It'll just suck. It'll be like Nigeria. You know they tried this in Nigeria because they thought, oh, the Nigerians love their Bitcoin and they're really good at using digital currency, so why don't we give them? We'll just do this. You know the banksters roll it out as a beta test and it was a huge flop and I love to see that kind of stuff. I like it when the so-called smart set and all their simulations fail. Isn't that great? Yeah, the so-called smart set they I watched that documentary the other day on Enron called the smartest guys in the room. I mean, that's what they? They were so arrogant.
Speaker 2:Human history. It's just. The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history. It's the same thing over and over again, even in just on those micro levels like that. So we can talk about the dangers and the evil of this, but the way that you combat it is through information and you raise your own level of understanding and you share that with others and then you work outside of the system. By the way, I'm reading you these stories and I believe that's absolutely dangerous, especially if you comply and you sleepwalk into it. You know, like we sleptwalk into the Iraq war because of fear. You know, because they were able to to use-level, weapons-grade propaganda and that filters through One of the reasons I left traditional talk radio.
Speaker 2:It's an intellectual dead space. Now it's a game. It's not about fighting evil or raising awareness. It's the same. It's a team sport and just not where I belong. But if you can raise that up, it becomes again. You share that with other people. You have an understanding. You go outside of the system. When you look at it from where I'm looking at it, they'll have these programs.
Speaker 2:But things like gold have been a part of human history before recorded history and civilizations were built on it. It's a part of us, it's a part of the human story. I didn't make the rules. I just know that, in an era where we're living in a massive sea of fake, the future belongs to authenticity. It belongs to the real. So the more that you can understand the difference between real and fake, the better off you're going to be. And when they implement these central bank digital currencies, in my opinion they will arrive inert if we do our job.
Speaker 2:So danger, but I'm giving you. Let you close. We have all the news as Tony sees it. I'll leave you with a little ray of sunshine, because I think we all need that right now, because it's turbulence Definitely going to be the remainder of the decade for sure. We're in 2030, folks Don't forget that. We're inside Agenda 2030. We're inside Agenda 21. We're inside the Great Reset.
Speaker 2:These are the things to focus on. Politics can, a lot of times, can be a sideshow. So focus on what you can do and that way you're empowered, because they will roll out these things, the technocrats. They're just too hungry to do it. They're not going to not do it, but what you can do is understand the lessons of history and share that with others, which is what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 2:All right, go to wolfpackgold or wisewolfgoldandsilvercom, any of the websites. I was talking to my brother and I'm like we have too many websites. I know I have tons of websites and you can also go to arterburngold and be sure and do that and subscribe. Send us a little bit of feedback and give us a review. It really helped me. I'd appreciate that I made the show just a little bit longer, since we're no longer on radio time constraints, but I do have to exit. I just want to say thank you to everybody for being here. It means a lot to me, from Beans the Brave and myself, all the crew, everybody at Wise Wolf. We wish you a wonderful weekend. Take care of each other. End of transmission.
