SPEAKER_02 2:00

Welcome to the Arterburn Radio Transmission, ladies and gentlemen. This is the official broadcast of the apocalypse. It's the 23rd of April 2026. I have some interesting topics to go over today, and um going to address some of the reviews. This is the standing invitation. If you want to uh give me a five-star review, you can say anything. You can criticize me, you can not like the show, you can bring up things that I talked about or didn't talk about, and I wanted to go over a couple of them today. I I think they're worth addressing. And I'll I'll tell you the reason why I cover some of the stuff that I do, but um a couple of them are really good, but it there's a theme in here about talking about gold and silver. One of them is from a couple of months ago, but it's worth mentioning. Bring back Paratrouther. The show has become a repetitive economic ad for your business. Is it that bad? Uh I first of all, I I despise infomercials, and I don't even plug. Like it's I don't even I have notes on my desk. Make sure you plug. I don't plug uh even half of what I should do, but maybe even a third. I don't know. It's it's it's not even relevant in it in the sense that I plug. Uh love the Paratrouther episodes, but the other episodes have really just become gold ads. There used to be a lot more content. Well, you know, the what's happened, I think, and that's pretty much the gist of it. And there's some really positive stuff in there, too. Let's do that. Make sure I get the positive stuff in. I can't just leave it. One is the the latest one from a week ago. It says, uh, this is from the title of its Patience. It says, Fellow Texan, thanks for speaking the truth to power. I have believed for some time that the debt trap would cause a reduction in the standard of living. I encourage all to be patient with others as each and every one will experience stress during these financial reset. Some will react violently as egos and self-esteem are challenged. That's the truth. Most important is attempting to follow the guidelines of the virtues, generosity, respect, compassion, charitable, charity, thoughtfulness, thriftness, and more. This broadcast follows those principles. Well, I appreciate that. And to address, you know, I was on with David Knight this morning, and as I often do on Thursdays, which is a huge honor, but we go into the economics and broad spectrum geopolitical macro stuff. And if you're me, I get myopic on the topic of the monetary stuff. But if you study parapolitics, and you know, this parapolitics comes from, I should do a whole show on it, but it's it's a 1979 concept of looking at the lens, you know, parasites uh outside of normal, like you have paranormal. Uh parapolitics is a is a uh an in-depth look at the causations of what makes our political reality outside of the accepted norm. Okay. So we covered the parapolitical, and if you dive deep enough into that, what you'll find is that those who control the vast wealth and resources of this planet, those who have the Machiavellian uh dark triad instincts to accumulate, you know. And by the way, I uh I think wealth is great. I have I cast no uh aspersions on wealth. I I think wealth is great. You can do wonderful things with it. It also, if you read the New Testament, you know, the root of all evil is not money. The root of all evil is the love and lust for power and money and things that that come from those trappings. So it's a mindset, you know, it's neither good nor evil. It just is. So I think that having a lot of wealth can be great. The problem is if you read history and you understand what I do, that the reality that we have today is shaped by those who control the vast resources, uh, the the gold, uh, the monetary system, uh, the currency systems, the central banks, these are dynastic families. There's only a few of them. You know, you can look at the great books like the committee of 300 and the third the 13 families, all of that stuff. Uh uh David Icke calls the the the cult or the cabal. You can you can frame it any way you like, but it's a small group of dynastic families and overseers and overlords who control this, and they shape our reality with this. And and because of the lack of education, it's kind of like Henry Ford said if people understood the banking system, there'd be a revolution in the morning. They don't teach you this stuff in school. So I spend a great deal of time on it. And I don't, it's not, I could do a much better uh job at like, you know, sell I don't do fear, I do don't do price uh predictions normally, unless we're, you know, it's it's uh pretty apparent that we're gonna have some major shift in prices. I I don't do clickbait stuff. You guys know me. So it's not like I'm not defending myself in in that sense. I'm just saying there's a reason why I go over so much content on the precious metals or the monetary aspect of this, is because it's tied to where we're going. It's part of the great reset. That's what this whole decade is about, that it's the greatest monetary revolution in the history of mankind. I gotta cover it. It's gonna affect everything that you do, and the mainstream's certainly not gonna do that until it's too late. They're gonna rug pull you at the last minute. They've got their golden parachutes, they walk between the raindrops. Nothing there's a reason why these um you know cocktail party elite folks, uh there's a reason they cheerlead war, they cheerlead uh economic policies that are disastrous. What do they care? You know, it's it's only you, it's only we the people, you know, the the ewers of wood and the drawers of water, go biblically. They have to fight the wars, they have to pay the bills, have to make, you know, bail them out of their mess. And we always do. That's that's the reason why we have the 1913. It's it's the reason you have the 16th Amendment, the income tax. You had to have that to service the interest on the Federal Reserve, to service the interest on the debt. I mean, this makes you a debt slave. The monetary system and the magic trick of that is so vast. So I try to cover that in a in a way that uh is interesting and maybe some practical uses. I mean, you can you bang on that drum all day that you know, the creature from Jekyl Island, or you know, that there's even a great book on the roots of Federal Reserve that goes into like Jekyll Island even being like this esoteric, you know, has an energy feel to it, and it's uh related to the Nephilim. And I mean, there's there's maybe some arguments for that. Like it's it's a deep spiritual thing, but there's practical applications to this. And one of the things I was talking with with David Knight today, I mean, you have Hank Paulson, who was head of the treasury under George W. Bush, and uh during the the great uh financial crisis, the the GFC of 2008-2009, which looks quaint now. I mean, Hank Paulson at the time, he got on his knees and he begged Nancy Pelosi, got and went to the halls of Congress. And this is what I mean, it's not that long ago, but it's worlds away. So, you know, Hank Paulson goes, gets on his knees, begs Nancy Pelosi for$750 billion for TARP funds, which is the troubled asset relief protection uh bill that they wanted to pass to bail out these banks that were underwater from all the subprime garbage that they had lent out. And, you know, you have in the White House at the time, you had George W. Bush saying, this sucker's going down. He's talking about the economy. That's a that's a direct quote, by the way. This sucker is going down. And it certainly uh would have had major setbacks, and then some of the the big people would have that are still around today, some of the zombie corporations wouldn't have been around, but we would have plowed through that pain. It'd be a different country right now. There'd be a, you know, that's the thing about fiat. It truly is evil. You know, fiat currency, which means Latin by decree, it means they say so. So they pump out this fake currency. You go out and you spend all your energy and your time trying to obtain it. And uh, the harder you work, it's like a treadmill, the faster you go, the more that you expend, but you don't really go anywhere. And that's the whole point of it. I mean, it's an energy extraction mechanism that you can't ever win that game. So it's important to talk about this stuff. But the numbers, the reason I get into it, again, going back to Hank Paulson, Hank Paulson's come out and said, this country now needs a break the glass in case of emergency plan because it's going to get that bad. And the powers that be need some sort of structural plan to bail us out. Well, there is only one plan, folks. And Larry Lipard hit upon that. He wrote a book about it. It's called The Big Print. And it's going to be the biggest expansion of the money supply in the history of man. So, yeah, I'm going to talk about it. It's not, it's not an infomercial. Literally, history of the highest order. And it's going to affect everything that you do, whether you're going to buy groceries, whether you're paying a bill, paying your taxes, everything. It's it's built into everything. It's systemic, it's malignant, and it lives inside our reality. So, yes, going to talk about it and the shifts that are going on because quietly in the mainstream is never going to talk about it uh until it's too late, which is their job. You know, what do you get when you cross MKUltra with Operation Mockingbird? Uh, you get the mainstream, and then you even get the mainstream alternative media, you know, which will have you hanging on, you know, uh 4D, 5D, 8 billion D chess, whatever the hell we're supposed to believe that uh something's going, you know, Patriots are in control, and we got this going on, and we're gonna have uh new uh renewed American energy because we're cutting off energy supplies from the rest of the world. I mean, just such garbage. So you have to weed through all of that and to get to some sort of semblance of what's actually happening. What's reality? And the reality is that the world's moving away from the system that we grew up with. And what's that's going to look like? Well, it's gonna look a lot different. And, you know, a lot of the stuff that's going on now, which is truly disgusting, like the insider trading, you know, these bets that are being placed uh just with perfect timing, kind of like how they had uh put options and shorts on airline stocks prior to 9-11. Do you realize that there's still millions of dollars, millions, that were never collected because of these entities that were related to other banks and people and representatives that had ties to intelligence, you know, offshoots of Deutsche Bank and others that and you can go into the book uh The Killing of Uncle Sam, it has an intelligence guy that details all of this. There's still millions that they made on shorting airline stocks prior to 9-11. That's that's called prior knowledge, right? That's what happens in the financial system. You know, a lot of grift and criminality made off of uh tragedy and made off of the ignorance uh by by design. I mean, made ignorant by design. If again, if people understood what was happening to them, we wouldn't have the reality that we have now. If you if you want the tell, if you want to know, hey, do do are our overlords, are they benevolent? Do they want the the U.S. economy to really shine? Do they want me to have prosperity and peace? Um, no, just look at the policy. I mean, we could be we could be exploding with growth right now. We could have so many things being built, we could have so many companies, so much more innovation, have all this, but you just need certainty. Markets love certainty. You need incentive, and we've taken away incentive. You know, we were supposed to have like we were supposed to have Doge. Remember that? Uh that went away really quick. Like I the they love their grift, you know. And you can't have accounting in government. Those two things, that's like uh a crucifix to a vampire. So you can't have accounting, but we don't have doge. We didn't get that. We're supposed to get a doge uh rebate check, and then of course that didn't happen. We're supposed to get a tariff rebate check, and we're supposed to have tariffs instead of the income tax. Instead, you got both, and then you got the choking off of the uh Strait of Hormuz, which any idiot, you know, again, like I shouldn't know as much as uh the commentators who come out and they're supposed to be experts about this. I shouldn't have known that at like, you know, 18, 19 years old. I was talking to my dad about that. About what would happen. This is like 1998, literally going over this war gaming, what would happen if we would stupidly attacked Iran, a country that never attacked us, doesn't want war with us, distrip it of weapons it doesn't have. That sounds really familiar. I saw a shirt the other day, and it had like a clock that was or like a like an odometer, and it's like uh I R A, and then it starts changing the N, the Q to an N. It's going the Q's going up and the N's going to replace it. That's pretty much where we are. So uh just to address a few of those, and then I had a tweet. Uh this is uh somebody who usually tweets at me, and I I don't always or eck what do you call it anymore? You know, I'm not sure. Uh I used to care about social media and and I just don't anymore. Uh this is the forced truth. He says, uh just catching up on paratrooth or hope your dad is doing better. Uh, speaking of how's your son? You haven't talked about him, uh, that I've heard of in a while. Anyway, I got my wolf pack going again, and I would like to get an affiliate link if that's how you're doing it. So I want to address that. Well, my dad, thank God in heaven, is doing much better. They actually moved him out of ICU into uh secondary room, and he's able to get his uh get the ventilator, get the tube out. So he's he's talking, he's uh he's uh uh coherent, he's uh getting better, that he's gonna go into physical therapy and all that. I mean, which was it's a miracle. So thank you for all your prayers. I I just I I was so uh worried, and and I still am, you know, but uh was worried that I thought, is this the last time I'm gonna talk to my dad? I mean, you just um folks, you just never know. And I already have that mindset. I've lost so many people that I've been uh close with. So I already, you know, on the edge of everything I do, is there's a level of sincerity because I don't think that I don't take everything for granted. But even though you get into normalcy bias, and you don't think that's the last time I'm gonna talk to somebody that you love. So dad's doing better, thank God. And my son, I just see him walking around out here. He's he runs wise wolf in Denison. And I think about that, he's 21 years old. And he's going through numismatic coins and bullion and and learning how to test jewelry. Well, I mean, he's really good at he might be better than me at testing jewelry, but don't tell him that. Uh, but he's going through all that learning curve. I mean, if I'd have done that at 21, I mean I could take a helicopter to the show every day, you know. Um I I I don't know what I would be. If I had started at 21, I don't know. Um that would be a completely different story. So we shall see. But uh, and then the last part about the uh, and thanks for being a Wolfpack member over at The Force Truth. But it's something else I mentioned today, and I guess I'll get accused of doing um infomercial stuff. But hey, we have an affiliate program. If you want to share a link, we give you your own link. You just got to email us. We'll I'll have Yeka send you over something. You just fill it out. It's a one-page thing, you get your email, tell us who you are, and you can become an affiliate uh of Wolfpack. We pay you 1%, and it's not just on one time, it's anytime there's renewals, and you get to see them on your link. So I was I've put this off for a long time, but given the economic conditions of where everything is, you can partner with us and you can get an affiliate link and share the link in as much as you want to share it. Uh, and we pay, you know, usually about once a month. And uh that can become a little bit of mailbox money for you. So go check that out. That's uh and that's not nothing, especially on renewals. So uh I don't I don't know if anybody else does it the way I do it, but uh, we can share a little bit, especially um, because we're all in this together. This is uh and I mean that, not like not like when they they have those great photos of of COVID 1984, you know, with the celebrities who'd park their yachts in there and they would spell out we're in this together, you know, either off uh at St. Bart's or whatever. Uh no, we um this is a small family veteran-owned business, and uh yeah, that that's my that's my infomercial for today. But I did bring back Paratrouther, by the way, released uh David Icke on Friday and then Richard Willett a couple of days ago. They're both up on the channel. Uh so go check those are great of conversations. I got to do those, you know, uh in studio at Iconic, about two and a half hours outside of London. So it was uh uh a great time and got to spend some time with uh Gareth Icke, which uh a little bit today, I'll do some hidden history. I was gonna get to that last time, but uh speaking of Gareth Icke, uh great guy, by the way, just uh I got to go and spend some time with uh with his family, and we drove around a little bit and he told me a story because he likes to go off into these, you know, you're in England. I mean, there's a bunch of old things around, you know. It's uh and uh he was showing me some of the sites and he pointed to something and he goes, You know what that is? It's about the the madness of King John. And I was like, No, I I've not heard that story, at least not told like that. Anyway, I pulled up the story, it's really interesting, and it has some uh modern you know uh things that we think of are referenced in there. So it's interesting. We'll we'll go into that. So uh anyway, covered the gold stuff, lots of stuff, the tokenization of gold that's happening in these stable coins, that's off the charts. It's it's a massive thing that's happening under the radar, the storage facilities that are being constructed in in Asia, especially the the uh Shanghai and uh the Hong Kong gold exchanges. Watch that really close, folks, because everything that's happening right now with uh the dollar is being reset by gold. Okay, this is quiet, uh, it's uh silent. Weapons for quiet wars. Okay. They're just literally reshuffling everything right before your eyes. And then, you know, it's supposed to be normal. And you get people right now, some of the commentators like, well, you know, gold really didn't perform as uh as a hedge against geopolitical uncertainty. Gold is double what it was a couple years ago. I mean, how did it not perform against all the crisis and stupidity and controlled demolition that's happening? I mean, the a lot of these countries use gold for what it is. It's money. They used it to buy oil. They used it. A lot of the entities that were holding gold as a hedge used their gold holdings to buy some oil. But do you, hey, do you think in the long term uh that gold's going to be worth more when the currencies are worth less? I don't know. I mean, just a just a thought experiment. I mean, if they if they print trillions of new currency units and it's not backed by anything, uh, isn't that make it more ubiquitous? If you expand the money supply, does it create new value in the money supply? I mean, it's going to be fine. Okay. Just uh everything is holding up as it should when you're talking about real money and real assets and finite things versus the infinite, which is ever expanding. And the answer to how many dollars there are in circulation, the answer is more. They'll just make more in this current system. And it's going to be, again, it's Larry Lapard, it's the big print. It's going to be the biggest print of all time. So if you're stacking, if you're uh hedging against that, you know, I can't think of a better strategy than uh not having counterparty risk at this point. I mean, do you trust any of this stuff? I certainly don't. And uh that's not a sensational uh plug for myself. All right, where should we start? We got I've got a few things that border on the ridiculous. I guess we can start there. Um let's do that. Let's let's border on the ridiculous. This is activist post. And uh I will today, you guys want to join the the comments? You're certainly welcome to. Uh I if you have any questions, I'm gonna monitor the rumble and the uh YouTube and uh Twitter chats, and eventually we'll have all the other you know social media platforms up right now. I just I haven't reconnected them, so uh eventually we'll have every aspect. You can hit me from all angles if you want. All right, let's put this up on the screen. Take that one off, put this one up. This is activist post. A lot to unpack here. Uh but Trump accuses the Pope of being, quote, terrible for foreign policy. Did uh did Trump tear up a picture of the Pope? Yeah, like Sinead O'Connor on on SNL back in the late 80s? Or was that early 90s? I think it was early 90s. Uh so again, this is from uh this is from Mac, uh, and it's uh I'm kind of slave of the SHTF plan. So this must be a blog. United States ruler, I like that. Uh Donald Trump has attacked Pope Leo, the patriarch of the Catholic Church, as being terrible for foreign policy. The social media assault comes as Pope Leo emerged as a vocal critic of U.S. Israeli military campaign against Iran. The Pope described Trump's threat to destroy Iranian civilization as truly unacceptable. That's uh that's a a Ned Flanders response. Give me we need some of those old popes, you know, like the some of those, they had some real like uh apocalyptic uh vernacular. We need some bring bring some of that back. Um Sam Francis was like an old uh right-winger, like traditionalist, and uh he he would he was a commentator and uh writer, and Pat Buchanan asked uh Sam Francis what kind of conservatism he he espoused, and he said, uh, well, I I'd like to bring back burning at the stake. He was that kind of Catholic. Uh so maybe truly unacceptable. Is that strong enough? But warning it amounted to a threat against the entire an entire people. Pope uh Leo the 14th also asked uh U.S. rulers for some deep reflection on the treatment of migrants. Trump responded in a truth, a Ministry of Truth social post on Sunday night, accusing the Pope of being weak on crime and terrible on foreign policy, and saying he would prefer all MAGA brother Louis Prevost, who is uh U.S. based and known for his pro-Trump views. I don't want a Pope who criticizes the president of the United States because I'm doing exactly what I was elected in a landslide to do, setting record low numbers in crime and creating the greatest stock market in history. Well, remember, you know, we don't have time to get into the Epstein files and uh the crimes against humanity and the trafficking of children and harvesting their uh their spirit and soul and blood and adrenochrome for, you know, uh the purposes of uh expansion of elite power. We don't have time for that because the Dow is at 50,000. The expendable nature of these people too in the Trump administration, isn't it interesting? I read an article the other day that Cash Patel was really like he checked his computer one day and uh like it wouldn't turn on. He thought he had been locked out and fired already. I mean, can you imagine this is well, first of all, you're flying all around and you're going to foreign nations and celebrating hockey games and like uh acting like you're in a frat. I mean, looking at Cash Patel drink a beer makes me actually consider never drinking again. Like that, like it's just so unmanly and it's so incongruent. And I probably I think it's a sign of the times, like an unserious person with no real backbone or spine or core. Like you just in the face of pure evil that is happening, not only in this country, but around the world, and um you're spiking the football uh like you won something, being a just so bizarre. He added that uh Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise, claiming that he was chosen solely for being an American and was perceived as the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump, according to a report by RT. And so anybody remember what happened to RT, one of the greatest news organizations out there, and uh they were just completely cut off in 2020 for asking questions. And it's funny, they're like you need to register as a foreign agent. You know, like a you have to have you here, you have ties, obviously it's Russia today, so you have to register as a foreign, but all our could our politicians are controlled by a foreign nation that doesn't register as a foreign agent. Isn't that interesting? I had a guy come into the shop the other day in Branson, and it was just so bizarre. And you could tell, like, he's he's hooked up to the feed, you know, he's got Fox News is strong in him, like whatever, and those that same kind of like the the people whose uh lapel pen of the American flag gets bigger every time you see them, kind of like Will Farrell's character in the campaign, it just gets bigger and bigger, you know. And uh he's like a lot of Muslims down there in Texas. And I'm like, Yeah, yeah, so there's a lot of Muslims. Like, I mean, I grew up around Muslims, you know, because uh they have gasoline companies and convenience stores, and my family was in that business. I mean, I just I just seems like that reality. I mean, I and he's like, Oh, do you not notice them? I'm like, no, I mean I notice them. I understand about immigration and I I know what kind of issue I've been talking about this for you know 20 years. I I kept that to myself, but he kept pushing me. He's like, Well, you don't see them. So you don't, your eyes don't see them. I'm like, well, I served in three foreign wars in three Muslim countries. I mean, anybody who's really tried to kill me has been a Muslim, and I'm not mad at them. So I mean, I don't know, what are you getting at? And I just kept, I said, Well, they don't really bother me as much as the people who uh control my politicians through uh their political action committees like APAC and then don't tell me, you know. I I'm more concerned with that. And I'm more concerned with dual citizens like Maorcas, who like once opened borders and people that are, you know, dual citizens of another country. Again, uh that's not what's on my mind, but it's on his mind, and I think it's like one of those things that it's part of the psyop that we're in right now. Uh not that there's not any danger to like Sharia law and other things like that, but it's just not on my radar because those people don't have influence in my government, you know. Like if I ran for Congress here, like no one's gonna say, well, you're disqualified because you don't like Iran. You know, like if I if I'm like, I don't really like Iran, I don't really have a dog in the fight, or if I don't like uh Syria, or if if I don't really care what what the politics of Saudi Arabia are, like nobody cares. But if I say uh, well, I really don't like the influence that the Israeli government, oh, we got to get rid of him. See, that's the difference. That's what I notice. And when you when you have the power to leverage the speech in my country, like you know, there's 36 different states where you can't speak ill of Israel, um, or you can't get a government contract or work for the government or have anything that touches the government, and you probably put on a list uh beyond that. So it's 36 states that have laws on the books that you can't do that, but I don't know of any states yet where, you know, maybe uh like if I criticize uh you know Shia versus Sunni, I don't nobody cares. So just just for food for thought. I thought that was a that was an interesting interaction, and I think he probably is like a sampling of people. So Trump doesn't think Leo's doing a very good job on uh on foreign policy, and I I don't care either way. Um, but I it just if you want to get to the the clown world of where we actually are, this is a great place to start. Uh the the whole aspect of of the stock market being great and then also rate on foreign policy. What is our foreign policy? I thought I was, I thought we were, and for twice in a row, I mean, we're supposed to get this the first time around. It was so funny. And in after 2020, I'm like, we're doing this again? Like, we're gonna make America great again, again? Like, why didn't we do it the first time? But you know, why didn't we bring the troops on? Why wasn't there a border? Oh, is surrounded. I remember having to hear all the mental gymnastics and the the contortions of people's minds, like trying to like, well, it's just because Trump couldn't, you know, he had these advice and he didn't know. He's new to politics. And I'm like, there are people that are like just average listeners to, you know, media and you know, subscribers to like some blogs and no more than them, like if that's the case, right? Of course he knows. So they're doing the opposite of what he was elected to do. So I don't know if the good on foreign policy, what is our foreign policy? I mean, really, truly, what is it? Uh, other than we are directing our military and our energy and our defense and our reputation for a foreign nation. That's clearly what's going on right now. Has that ever really happened out in the open? I mean, used to, just like Hank Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury in 2008, 09, had to beg Nancy Pelosi for$750 billion. They don't even ask anymore. They just make it. They just, well, there you go, it's another trillion, or we got another trillion here. There is no more, like there used to be a lead up to you being bamboozled into a war. Like they used to buy you a drink first, you know. They used to be a little bit easy on you. Well, you got to get people warmed up. It's got to be about hearts and minds. Oh, you know, the Spanish-American war, you know, they had to uh detonate a mine in front of the Maine. You know, it's like to hell with, remember the Maine, to hell with Spain. We're going to war. 1898. Had to do that. Had to get them into the war. You know, had the Lusitania in 1915. Uh, of course, that really wasn't brought up again. Then you had the the uh Zimmerman telegram that was orchestrated by the House of Rothschild to get the consulate in Germany to uh telegram the representative in Mexico and tell them if they join the war, then uh they'll give them back the the southern half of the United States, you know, with the Southwest. Like it's complete propaganda to get Americans whipped up into joining uh the Brits and the city of London in uh World War I, you know. Nobody really knows why what World War I was about. I mean, you can read the history, you know what happened, I guess, but it's just uh ritualistic bloodletting for the elites. It's a bankers' war. You know, and then we had Pearl Harbor, you know, that was a sophisticated thing. Talk about cutting off energy supply. We cut off the oil to the Japanese, and they would just wanted to negotiate. Then we broke their code, purple. We broke the Japanese code, by the way, before Pearl Harbor. We had so many like members of Congress, you had radio operators with people that even the the head of the of the Red Cross was called into Roosevelt's office right before December 7th, 1941, and told to be ready to go to the West Coast. Uh, and he'll be need for you know a lot of supplies and you know, be ready for that. Like this was told to the head of the Red Cross by the president of the United States before Pearl Harbor. And they would lead you, they needed that event. It's just uh the Gulf of Tonkin, uh, you know, in 19 uh 64. You needed that to open up Vietnam. You know, it's not a real thing. Like the, you know, the attack on American warships. Uh 9-11, and you need weapons of mass destruction, yellow cake, uranium, uh, all that stuff, the the aluminum tubes and all the remember all that the axes of evil. You know, it's Iran, Iraq, and North Korea, and they're banding together, and they've got a death ray. And we gotta make sure that we have thousands and thousands of Americans live lost and displace a civilization, or else Halliburton and you know, Brown and Root, they don't get all the money. Or, you know, the military industrial complex, all that stuff. So there was a pageant, is what I'm saying, right? There's a there's a pattern. Now they don't even do it. Do you see how we're we're in different territory now? We're in different territory. They don't even try to grease the skids. It's just damn the torpedoes full speed ahead. This is full speed ahead of the great reset. This is how you get an energy crisis. This is how you get an economic downturn. This is how you scare the hell out of everyday Americans. This is how you create fear, uncertainty, and doubt. This is how you get all that insider trading and all the trappings of a decadent declining empire. And I say that with sadness because it didn't have to happen this way. We didn't have to go down this road. But clearly there's a darkness over this. You talk about the Pope's, but I don't know anything about this Pope, and I don't care. It's not my faith. I think it's fine. I mean, if you want to, I mean, Catholic faith is wonderful. There's a lot of beauty to it. I've been to Catholic services many times. Uh, some of my intellectual heroes are uh devout Catholics, like like Pat Buchanan. Um, I'm more of a no, I'm less anchored to to any sort of like dogma or traditionalism. I have my own spiritual life, definitely uh a follower of Jesus, and I like to go into that historical record, but that's it's it's uh it's part of our civilization, but I don't get into who's Pope or whatever's happening. It's not really an issue to me because the Pope's not in charge of my country. It's kind of like people thought the Pope would be in charge when uh JFK was elected, and uh you know, the first Catholic president, and uh he he made it what was a thousand days. Probably and it's funny because people thought the Pope would be in charge, and that was the last president who really espoused peace on a level and tried to carry that out. Yeah, that's one of the reasons that they murdered him in Dallas, yeah, in a ritualistic killing of the king. You know, there's a reason they did that, it's because he espoused peace. And uh well, uh he made sure that everybody who needed to be made angry by like normal, rational, you know, morally grounded decisions was was made angry. And so it's maybe it's a collusion of all of them uh that had him killed. But yeah, what a joke. Um I always like to respond to things. It's kind of a sign of the times, and there's uh one of those stories where maybe you could just pin it up and say, I'm gonna leave this here without comment. That's the clown show. All right, uh, let's jump around a little bit. Uh, should we do some hidden history? You guys want to do some hidden history? And again, I'll go back to uh the comments, anything yeah, why think change repeats is don't forget the Gulf of Tonkin. Yeah, I didn't. Uh Gulf of Tonkin. You know who was uh in charge of who was the captain of the boat and the Gulf of Tonkin incident? Do you know that? If you if you know that, put it put it in the comments. It's an interesting uh interesting throwback to uh to history. Oh yeah, I know you you said it before. Yeah. I'll I'll br I'll bring it up here at the end of the show. All right, um let's uh let's jump around to some hidden history. Yeah, there you go. Jim Morrison's dad. And it's funny because Jim Morrison was like the soundtrack to Vietnam, and the whole war, like this the soundtrack, like you, you know, if you watch Apocalypse Now, you know, uh this is the end, the end, my friend, you know, my only friend. That's a great song, and it's dark. Uh but that's like the that's the doors, and uh his dad was the captain of the boat. So, you know, sometimes reality flows together like that. A little bit of hidden history, and then we'll close out with uh some more sad news on foreign policy. But I but maybe maybe not sad. Maybe sad's not the answer or the uh the correct description because people stood up for what they believed in. Let's uh let's do some hidden history though. So I was with um Gareth Ike in England, and I got done with uh interviewing his dad, and we were driving out to his house, and he goes, Uh, do you know about the madness of King John? I'm like, no, I mean I've heard, I think I know where you're going with this, but so well, there's uh like a town over here, and they built this road as King John was gonna put this road through. It was like a new uh the King's Highway. And you're talking about, you know, I think in the 1200s, something like that. Yeah, the wise men of Gotham. So the town was Gotham. And says, when the King of England wanted to build a road through Gotham, the uh the village locals, the rustics, knew there was only one way to get rid of his men. They didn't want a road. So the one way they get rid of his men was to play insane. So this is what they came up with. It's difficult to determine the veracity of tales with such historical murky depths of the 13th century, is the villagers gained this uh moniker by displaying such cunning they warded off attentions of the most powerful man in the land. The story goes that King John I wanted to pass through the village and have a royal highway established in its wake. He wanted to uh Build a road. So he needed the locals to help contribute to the upkeep of the road, also, and he built it through the village. So faced with a stark choice between increasing their financial burdens or defying the king's will, they took a third route to dupe the king and his henchmen into believing they were a village of fools or rather infected with insanity. Remember, people at this time and King John apparently feared going insane. So like he would any time if you were, if you were mad, like if you had a any sort of hint of madness or craziness, like he would have you banished away from his court. And it's interesting, it's kind of like uh I read a lot of Joseph Murphy, and one of the things he talks about is the manifestation of your greatest fear. It's like in the book of Job, where Job says, and my greatest fear has come upon me. You know, it's like what you harbor is your greatest fear will usually manifest. Why you if you have fear, you push it away. You can't live in that fear cycle. That's like a lot of times alternative media does that too, and you won't hear that crap from me. I don't stay in the fear cycle. I mean, this can give you some overlays, but then we can talk about solutions. Uh it might give me some negative reviews, but uh that's uh that's fine. I'll take the I'll take the hit. Uh so they played insane. It was a common belief at the time that madness was contagions, contagious. So the notion of a village populated by lunatics was perfectly feasible. So on the day of the Royal Herald showed up at Gotham, uh Gotham was ready for him. Whenever the man went, he saw rustics engaged in some absurd task. He first came across some villagers embroiled in trying to drown an eel in a pool of water. Bewildered, he observed others dragging carts to a large barn to shade the wood from the sun. His unease heightened as he then came across others tumbling their cheeses down a hill that they might find a way their way to Nottingham for sale. So they're like rolling, like I guess, blocks of cheese or whatever. The king's man recoiled at being in the midst of such imbeciles, and the last straw came, he watched as villagers hedged uh a cuckoo with which had perched on an old bush. The cuckoo, as soon as he procured his self encompassed with the village, flew away. So they that's funny, one flew over the cuckoo's nest. Okay. Uh the king's official withdrew, he reported the settlement was brimming with lunacy and to avoid it like the plague. He says there are more pool fools who pass through Gotham than remain in it. The uh the latter, the Mary Tales of the Mad Men of Gotham, inspired 18th-century writer Washington Irving to label New York as Gotham and further gets referenced in the Batman comic. So that's like the the madness of Gotham. So Washington Irving, who also wrote uh selects the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, I believe. And you know, Irving, Texas is named after Washington Irving. But you didn't know that. I know that because I went to the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas, and the professor taught me that. I hadn't thought about that in many years. So yeah, Irving, Texas is named after Washington Irving, who came up with the mythical place, right? Uh based off something that he read before about madness and Gotham. It's pronounced Gotham. And this is what uh Gareth was telling me. So a little bit of history you maybe didn't know. I certainly didn't know that. I thought it was one of the most fascinating things. And it makes a lot of sense now whenever you look at the Batman stuff. They made that up. And ironically enough, the you know, the the book of Job, what what I feared most came upon me. The King John, you know, he succumbed to madness. So he harbored the fear, it manifested, became real. He obsessed over it. So interesting. All right. Uh last article of the day, and then we'll go ahead and close out the transmission for this week. I'm gonna be in uh traveling uh Las Vegas. I'll be at the Bitcoin conference. If you're out in the Bitcoin conference this weekend, come say hi to me. It's not this weekend, it's early next week, but I'm going out to uh going out to Vegas, so uh I'll be walking around, listening to some of the talks. It'll be a good time. So come come see me if you're out there. All right, this is uh antiwar.com. Let me put this up on the screen antiwar.com. Veterans groups protest U.S. war on Iran. A coalition of groups gathered in the nation's capital on Monday who expressed their deep opposition to the U.S. war on Iran. 130 veterans and military family members held a solemn, disciplined protest in the Capitol Rotunda, demanding the Trump administration end its illegal war on Iran and that Congress stop funding the war. Well, that you know, that's usually how in a sane society, and the reason that we had geniuses construct our Constitution, and you know, it took the dumbest people in history to tear it apart. But that's the Congress holds the purse, and Congress, only Congress can declare war. And we haven't declared war since World War II, but we're at war everywhere, and we're at war with our own people, and we're at war with ourselves, and uh Congress funds all of it. And uh that's why I was asking that you know, a gentleman the other day who didn't like Muslims and uh wanted me to look at Muslims everywhere. And I was like, well, I you know, I don't can't think of uh can't think of any Muslim groups that uh control my congressmen to keep them from you know uh voting or being disciplined on not funding wars that aren't declared. The veterans, many of whom served in Iraq and Afghanistan, conducted a flag folding ceremony and played taps on a bugle in honor of the 13 service members who have already died in the U.S. war in Iran. They unfurled banners reading, End the war on Iran, we can't afford another war, and cost of war is too high. Inside one of the most heavily trafficked public spaces in the U.S. Capitol. The action marks one of the largest veteran-led civil disobedience actions inside a congressional building in recent years. Sixty-two veterans were arrested after refusing police orders to vacate the Capitol Rotunda. Didn't they, you know, would they have sullied this place so much? I mean, remember the um in the the summer of love in 2020 when they had the fiery but peaceful uh deconstruction of the of the the American homeland. It was fiery but peaceful. Uh and everybody went into to kneel and all that stuff. Uh kneel before you're kneel before your overlord. Uh that was an interesting time. Um I remember Nancy Pelosi, uh, she was kneeling. And that was the Hank Paulson kneeled to get the 750 billion. Uh Nancy kneeled for something else. So they have uh 62 of veterans arrested, uh participating organizations, including About Face, Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, and the Center on Conscience and War, which advises service members of their right to be discharged from the military as a conscious, conscientious objector of war. Well, it's interesting, you know, I get pushback on some of this stuff, and um you know, if you if you never served, which is uh just like the latest um victim of the Trump administration's firings was the Secretary of the Navy who was never in the military, which I mean that's where we are. I mean, it's like members of Congress this is uh devastating, but you know, the people that vote to send you to war don't serve in wars. I mean, in 1970, it was like 70% of Congress was like veterans, and most of them are like combat veterans. And then by like 2020, it's like 15%, and it's declining. And then you get people like, well, it doesn't even matter, because then you'll get a Dan Crenshaw or somebody who's completely installed by intelligence or you know, APAC or whatever the hell, you know. Uh, and they just love war. So it's like doesn't, you know, you don't even get a measured. Like you get one of our presidents like William McKinley, it's probably one of the reasons why uh he was he was shot, um, because he was very reluctant to take the the country into the war with Spain. You know why? Because William McKinley served in the Civil War in the United States, one of the bloodiest war in the West in the 19th century. Like just like statistically, if you if you look at it like percentage-wise, it'd be like millions of deaths now, like in our own country. And uh, it was just such a bloodletting. And so by the you know, end of the 19th century, we wouldn't have didn't we didn't have a major war from 1865. I mean, you if you consider the Spanish-American War major, but we went to uh war with Spain, but he was reluctantly, like he had a nervous breakdown being pushed into it. Like he and they made it to where uh, you know, and by the way, speaking of uh people that weren't in the military that were secretaries of the Navy, the at the time at the time of that was uh Teddy Roosevelt. He was under-secretary of the Navy. The secretary of the Navy stepped away. Teddy sent out the ships without his authorization, like doing a patrol, hoping to run into some get get into some flack or something, right? He wanted to get into that war. He left his he left his wife Edith on her possible deadbed deathbed to get down to Cuba. He really, you know, he handed to Teddy. He really did want to get into a war, you know, and he would fight in it, which is fine, you know, if you really believe this stuff, but you you get now you get uh Lady Lindsey Graham and you get Ted Cruz and I mean all these just pasty non-warriors, you know, like just this, the like a uh a bag of oatmeal, like the testosterone count of a dead man. You know, like these people don't have any gumption for any of that kind of stuff. They don't have the stones to go fight in a war or charge up a hill or take out a machine gun nest or you know, get IED. They don't have any of those. They don't have the Waivos, man. But they surely have the they have the dark spirit in order to send your kids to go do that and do the bidding. So interesting. Uh yeah, and the veterans aspect of all this, and it's funny, they I say funny, it's tragic, they get thrown out for peacefully protesting and not leaving. Well, you know, that's where we are. So this is a quote. This is a very dangerous moment, said Michael McPherson. There are even rumors that Trump has considered using nuclear weapons. We call on Congress and President Trump to end this illegal, immoral, and unprovoked war on Iran immediately and bring our troops home now. Not one more dollar, not one more life lost in these forever wars, bring our troops home. Well, I second that notion, uh, Mr. McPherson, and um it is immoral, it is unconstitutional, it's unnecessary. And honestly, it uh seems to me like a ritualistic uh plan, a ritualistic uh series of events to continue to siphon off what's left and what's good about this country. And uh I finally uh I find it abhorrent, disgusting. Uh, and uh had I been in DC, I would have uh stood with these people and happily have been arrested to stand in the Capitol Rotunda and uh protest illegal wars. And we were literally occupied at the uh congressional level by uh forces and entities that uh don't have the American people's best interest at heart. We we have crossed that Rubicon, folks. That's why ideas are the realm that you need to be in. Like you change hearts and minds, ideas. It's a war of ideas. So ideas, spirit, you know, working on yourself and what you can do in your own backyard, what you can do in your hometown, what you can do with your sphere of influence. Uh, this is how you change things. It just starts right where you are. And uh, you know, changing Congress and all that stuff, I mean, that's that ship is probably sailed, and it will change. It will change uh by we the people changing ourselves and changing how we deal with it. And it's not the answers aren't in Washington, uh, clearly, uh, because both parties agree that this is a wonderful thing. And I'm you know, there is some sprinklings of people that don't, but you get what I'm saying. It's a duopoly. You know, it's the uh two wings of the same bird. All right, folks. Uh I'll be back next week. Uh have some things to report from uh being out in Nevada, uh checking out the Bitcoin conference where there's a lot of people to network with out there. I mean, that's uh it's part of the revolution. I mean, yeah, it's sometimes that we can get a little bit of infomercially here because that's what I do, but uh it is uh a monetary re revolution like that we've never seen before. And I don't know where all the chips are gonna land. I just I'm gonna bet against the system. You know, not not one of these insider trades either. This is all open source intel. We can uh discuss it and uh hopefully some of there's some wisdom and something useful for you to take away from the show every week. But uh, I do appreciate you. Uh wolfpack.gold uh for memberships. And if you want to reach out to us on becoming an affiliate, it's not official yet. I haven't put out any emails yet, and I didn't tell anybody, so I'm probably gonna get, you know, my crews could have been, what the hell are you doing? But yeah, you can become an affiliate. We'll try to we'll put you in a spreadsheet, you know, I'll I'll do all that. We'll uh anybody wants to earn a little extra income, and we certainly have that available. Uh Arterburn.gold, my website, go and subscribe because you get notified when cool stuff happens. Like I dropped the David Icke podcast and Richard Willett came out last week. Uh so go check that out. YouTube at Tony Arterburn. What else am I missing? Uh and I didn't mention I'm I'm here with Beans the Brave. And she's literally done her job this whole show. We have not been uh there's no bad vibes, intruders, or woodland creatures that have gone anywhere near the show. So uh once another successful broadcast from Beans the Brave. Uh but you guys uh take care of each other. Have a fantastic weekend. End of transmission.
