Groupthink, Stalin, And Contrarian Thinking
SPEAKER_00All right, ladies and gentlemen, Arterburn Radio Transmission broadcasting from deep within the heart of Texas today. It is the 11th of June, 2026. Trying to uh decipher the headlines is like drinking from a uh fire hose sometimes. I've got uh Beans the Brave in studio with me, and uh we're broadcasting from the shop in Denison. I can see my son through the window here. He's already we opened the shop at 11. He's already uh uh evaluating some gold and silver products. We've got pumpkin, uh my my black cat. I'm sure Houston's got his dog here. So we've got a we've got a full crew. I'm sure we can take on uh the dystopia together. I was reading uh uh a little bit of Robert Green's work this past week, and I came across a story in the laws of human nature about Joseph Stalin and Stalin's Russia. And apparently whenever Stalin, because he was such a ruthless, narcissistic, sadistic, evil person, right? He just uh so brutal. Whenever he would mispronounce a word in a speech, anybody that followed him after in any public circles at all would also mispronounce the word. And it kind of just explains groupthink, you know. I think we're gonna go over the irrationality a little bit as I talk about some of the market stuff, some of the um monetary system aspects of the irrationality of where we are, just how just how far off the mark I believe that the the herd is or the masses or just the groupthink, the the collective unconscious, if you will, of humanity is is backwards a lot. Sometimes they get it right, um, but it often leads to uh some headlines going to get into it. It doesn't make any sense at all. So I was thinking of uh another quote that um doing some research this morning, and I came across something that John Maynard Keynes also said. And you know, I don't really quote Keynes, Keynesian economics is the outcropping of that has been disastrous for humanity, but he had some some clear insight into human nature. One of them was uh it was better to fail conventionally, worldly wisdom says it's better to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally, at least in the eyes of the crowd, in the eyes of the world. So I've always been a bit of a bit of a skeptic. Uh I look at the headlines and I see the the narrative, and I'm all a contrarian in many ways. It's it's served me well for the most part on paper in the long run. Like in the short term, you look, you know, you get it, you're an outcast. And I've also found that as I've studied and as I've gone deeper into what I do, is the truth has a greater supply than demand. That's just truth. I mean, at the end of the day, uh the truth has a greater supply than demand. People want the truth, but sometimes it's ugly. And sometimes something that, you know, I'm I'm I guess I'm doing lots of quotes today, Beans, but uh, you know, Nietzsche said that. It's about um you rarely have the courage, one rarely has the courage for what they already know. You know, you already know something to be true, but we'll jump right into that.
Gold Sells Off For Absurd Reasons
SPEAKER_00There's something crazy happened in the metals markets, and I think it's setting the stage for what's next. I mean, you want me to give you a little bit of insight. Um, you guys are my support group, and we're broadcasting over WWCR, Worldwide Christian Radio out of Nashville, 100,000 watts. And I want to say hi to all my listeners there. I forget sometimes to do that. But this is a thinking show, you know, like the Bible says this. Let us reason together. Let's reason this out a little bit where we are. Yesterday I woke up, uh, gold had crashed, silver's, you know, hemorrhaging, it's red across the board, and it kept dipping, and it's continuing to go down. It's testing the $4,000 level on gold, which is still crazy. I mean, I got into this business, it was, you know, $1,100 an ounce or something, and it had been written off. You know, another another quote from John Maynard Keynes is that gold is a barbarous relic, right? Well, actually, that's fiat currency is a barbarous relic, and it's on its way out. But we're looking at, you know, this big sell-off and gold. And um the crazy thing about it is the reason why. And this is the irrationality of where we are. Like, you have to constantly be like a soldier protecting your mind, the territory of your mind, your thoughts, how you look at the world constantly, you know, eternal vigilance, because the narrative is after you. The narrative machine, whether that's a Stalin or something like it, just the narrative itself, is demanding that you mispronounce that word, that you misunderstand just like the so-called leader did, just like the Fuhrer. You have to misunderstand it and you have to mispronounce it. Even if you do understand it, you better not get outside of the line. Don't color outside of the lines, don't be a conformist, you know, just uh trust the plan, right? Well, just let's go look at Kitco for a second. Just to go over a few things. Because this is if you're outside of the system, if you're obviously listening to the show, you're obviously a contrarian. You're outside the system, you're not buying into the CNBCs of the world, you're not following Jim Kramer for his financial advice. But it is so bizarre. I want to put this up. Just I don't even need to dig into the articles. Let's just look at the headlines and let's reverse engineer this. I talked a little bit about this with uh David Knight this morning. Always a always a pleasure to talk to the great David Knight. It always warms me up for my show. I I'm I'm a little bit spoiled that way. You know, you David is a great uh interviewer. I mean, one of the best, top-notch, right? But he's as a broadcaster, you you have to always have something to talk about. He'll he won't allow it. I mean, it's not like he's gonna be mean about it. He does not allow you to go on there and just meander or you know, uh BS your way through it. There's got to be some substance, and it always challenges me. And I appreciate that from David. Let's just pull up uh KitCo real quick. And just go over a few of the headlines. All right, they've actually added some more stuff. So it's funny, like the National Bank of Georgia buys $100 million in physical gold. Well, that's that's excellent, right? Because we see central bank gold buying is now at, I think uh the metrics say is like it's 36,000 tons that the central banks hold. And the last time that central banks hold held that much gold physically was in 1944 era of Breton Woods. Okay, like just before the dollar became the world's reserve currency and the whole new economic world order was set into motion. And we've broken that agreement. We broke it in 71. So, like you can see like it's the water finds its level, it's going back uh back to the catacombs, back to the original, back to the way that it was before. And you know, the headlines are just not capturing that because here's here's what I'm getting at. Let's see. Uh gold slides 4% as Middle East escalation fuels inflation and rate hike concerns. Let's read that again. Gold slides 4% as the Middle Eastern escalation fuels inflation and rate hike concerns. Okay. So the metal that houses fear, uncertainty, and doubt, the hedge against geopolitical tensions, the hedge against inflation goes down because there's tension in inflation. I just want to get that out. And this is what I was looking at yesterday, and I put my money where my mouth is. I walk the walk, okay? I have to. I couldn't do the show or be or be in the realm of the public if I didn't do that. I just don't have that nervous system. I'm not built that way. If there is something that I talk about, then I do that thing. And so yesterday it was funny. I watched and I put some liquidity aside personally, and I was just holding for a while to see, you know, obviously I buy metals all the time, but I'm saying, like in bulk, right? And I saw the prices sliding. So the first thing I do, I start making trades. You know, I'm I'm buying physical gold or physical silver against uh falling prices, which is antithetical to what normal human nature does. And that's just the way people work. I mean, if if the prices were shooting up, then I had the phone would be ringing constantly. It's just always been that way since I started this business. And it's real, it's kind of disappointing, you know, because you're like, well, it's on sale right now, you know, and the fundamentals that drove it there, again, we see falling gold prices, uh, ladies and gents. We see falling gold prices because inflation data came out worse than expected. And they'll tell you the reason behind that is well, if inflation's worse than we expected, the CPI data, consumer price index. If it's worse than we expected, then they're going to either maintain current rate levels or they're going to raise rates to contract the inflation. And then you know, one of the reasons is why we have this energy crisis, manufactured, you know, this unnecessary war that we're doing. War of choice, right? And it probably is an on-purpose control demolition, but put that aside. They're going to have to either maintain or raise rates in order to curtail inflation. Well, uh, okay, in theory, that's fine, but they're not going to be able to do that. You know why? Because the entire economic system is built ever since 1971, and the world, the rest of the world followed with us. And remember, in 1971, the world had um currencies mostly backed by other things where they use the dollar. And so we went first. We led the world in that. And we said fiat currency is the answer. We're all Keynesians now. That's what Nixon said. We're all Keynesians now. So the world followed suit. I think uh Switzerland was the last currency on earth in 2002 to go away from the silver standard. So it's all free-floating fiat currency, right? So all these central banks around the world look at inflation and they say, well, we're gonna have to either raise rates like the European Central Bank raised like 25 basis points. So gold fell. Well, at the end of the day, you're they're going to have to lower them again. They're going to have to do quantitative easing. There's no way out of this situation that they put themselves in. You got $350 trillion of worldwide debt. Uh, the United States is uh heading towards $39 trillion. David Knight and I believe that's probably going to be somewhere around $40 trillion in the fall. And so nothing about overlaying this crisis, and there's been some speculation that a lot of this is looks like the 1970s, and in some ways it does because of the OPEC oil embargo, and we had runaway inflation in the 70s, and gold had just been released basically as a commodity you could own again as Americans. And there's a lot of speculation, and gold tripled through that time. So it's possible that it'll do the same thing again, except this time it won't end. That's another point that I brought up. There is no rainbow, like at the end of the rainbow. There is no calm after the storm at this point. They have to reset everything. So all that structure and all that infrastructure is being built right now. That's the headlines you won't see. But just digest that for a second. Inflation's so bad gold went down. Inflation's so bad. The economic data is so bad, gold went down. Middle Eastern tensions are so bad, and geopolitical uncertainty is so high that gold went down. So just think that through, let that process and do what I did. Or, you know, or whatever. You look for you think for yourself. But look at what I did. I'm first thing I did, I'm gonna go ahead and get some more physical gold. The reason is is because all the fundamentals that built that are still there. So like the magic trick of all this and following the day-to-day is the narrative is trying to sell you something that is fundamentally absurd. And you don't see that. Like the absurdity of that, and you have to roll with these changes. Whenever I see stuff crash like that, it doesn't, I mean, I hold stuff, I hold these metals, I'm dealing them. It doesn't like emotionally tax me at all. I mean, it could crash another 30%, or it doesn't matter to me. I know the fundamentals are there on a long enough timeline. Everything recorrects and it finds its level, it finds its way. It's just insane to me that rational people supposedly could look at that and say, well, that makes sense. Because it absolutely doesn't. You know, a lot of the even I I pulled up the top three price predictions for gold, silver, and bitcoin. And all of them are above, even the bearish cases are above what we see right now. So uh if you're following all the metal stuff, just know that I'm paying attention to this too. It makes absolutely no sense, and that's probably part of the point. Following the general narrative or consensus is not what we do here at the Art of Burn Radio Transmission, not what I do uh personally. And you shouldn't either because there's something happening, and that's the thing. Whether it's on, you know, it's the uh projection of everything that I process and meditate on is going through right now through these headlines. And the structure and the the new system is being constructed right now. And in the interim, you see crazy stuff like this. Like it's just again, it's something to digest, something to think about. And uh, I'll get off some of the um the gold stuff. I don't want to just stay on that. A lot of people complain, like some of mine, like talk talk more about the parapolitics. I will. But this is the origin story of everything outcrops and outflows from that, right? And we're gonna get into if I have time. Um there's a a blur from Zero Hedge on uh RFK and and uh the tick-borne illnesses that we've talked about. I told you about this uh a while ago. This was gonna be major headlines. It is. RFK is uh responding to some of the you know Alpha Gal and uh some of the reports about um you know weaponized ticks and everything that happened. We'll go back, we're gonna read an article that goes even back to Operation Mongoose and the 1960s. And uh I want to I want to get into some of that too. Uh we'll also get into uh a little bit of foreign policy, and I'm gonna go to the comments today. If you've got anything on the comments today, let me know if you've got questions or anything you want to talk about, or if you uh want to talk about something next week, you can go to my website, Tony.gold. Leave me a message if you want me to bring something up. And I haven't forgotten. If I can pull it up on my phone, I'll go back to uh uh I still haven't forgotten to talk about Oswald Spangler. Okay. I I forgot, but I haven't it hasn't lost it left my mind completely. Okay. One of my listeners wanted me to address something that uh Oswald Spangler brought up. All right, let me um I'll go to the comments here
Iran Strikes, Oil Shock, And Blowback
SPEAKER_00in a second. Let's go to some foreign policy really quick. Because the war is going gray. Let me uh let me pull this up. Yeah, it gives me no pleasure, by the way. Um it's funny. I talked to uh of the Rotary Club, you know, back when the war first kicked off. I think we were about two weeks in here in Denison, and I brought up a lot of our history, uh, you know, Operation Ajax and you know, the our relationship with Iran and you know what's steering this and uh the possible consequences and all that. I mean, it's uh it was controversial. I I don't I don't know that I'd be uh asked back to uh to speak again. It was uh certainly um there's a lot of contention in the room. Um, but yeah, it's uh you kind of want to say, well, how's that going? You know, how are how are things uh looking uh in your pocketbook because of these decisions? Uh Trump says we'll bomb the shit out of them tomorrow, if no deal, after dozens of tomahawks hit Iran. Trump to Fox News will bomb the shit out of them tomorrow night, the president declared. We'll bomb them to rubble again tomorrow night if there's no deal by the U.S. The Iranian uh Republican Guard is claiming to have struck 18 U.S. military targets in two waves. U.S. begins strike on Iran for second straight night, according to CENTCOM. Explosions have been heard in Iranian towns of Syrik, Manab, Bandar Abbas, and Bashir. Hegseth confirms imminent attacks on key Iranian facilities. Trump says we will be attacking Iran hard again today. Trump says secret mission has reopened the strait. Trump tells Fox he may keep going with strikes. Trump says Iran took too long to negotiate, and now they will pay the price. Tehran claims poor prior night attacks in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan as fulfillment of its previously vowed retaliation. So this is a polymarkets getting in on this. Um U.S. Iran permanent peace deal by June 30th, 2026. Uh a yes is a 16 cents, a no is 84 cents. Uh not looking good by the end of the month. Trump warns, we'll bomb them right if they get no deal. Trey Yingst has issued a new reporting update quickly on the heels of the fresh Trump order bombing of Iran. He says, I asked the president what will happen if the Iranians don't sign an agreement. And then again, you get the bomb, the SHIT out of them. U.S. military says it has completed latest strikes on Iran. So you get the gist of it, right? And you go to antiwar.com and there's lots of uh ancillary in the periphery of this news, the outcropping, you can see like the consequences of this spreading, right? This is metastasizing, not looking good. And oil, of course, is spiking. And you look at the warnings from oil companies, even major oil companies are coming out and saying, hey, higher gas prices are inevitable at this point. I mean, the supply disruption, we haven't truly felt that yet. And that's why you're seeing like the major uh increase in inflation is due to it's it was already there, folks. I mean, the amount of damage to the currency that has happened over the past uh I mean, really accelerating in the past six years. I mean, the uh end of 2019 into to now, unprecedented currency creation. A lot of it was papered over, a lot of it's just kind of waiting to be seen, right? A lot of it's just propping things up. And you we we've discussed last week, we discussed zombie corporations and other things, but this is a pin that popped the bubble and it's burst. And so I you know what stops this, I do not know. Uh I just know right now, like the the schizophrenia and the irrationality of the markets themselves are showing up in the headlines that I read you. You know, like you look at the the contention and the the kinetic uh warfare from this, like the the back and forth and Look, I hope there's a peace deal. I hope we can get something going. But at the end of the day, it doesn't look good. And so the longer this drags on, the worse and worse that it gets. And you factor that in with all of the currency creation. You factor that in with inflation. The central banks are up against the wall. They have no choice here. Like you're not going to be able to rein in inflation like Paul Volcker did in the 1970s, 1980s. You're not going to be able to do it. And then there's no, you had, you know, the end of 1979 going into 80, and you had the election of Ronald Reagan, you had Reaganomics. There was a tech boom, a lot of new technology, you know, the home computer, the stock market being digitized, and all the rest of that. I mean, the go-go 80s, all the art laugher, the economists, you know, talk about the laugher curve, you know, and trickle-down economics or Reaganomics is what it was called. That was perception. You know, uh Franklin Roosevelt was right. He borrowed um a key phrase from Napoleon Hill, who wrote Think and Grow Rich. This is the truth. You can go look this up. But the the phrase, uh, you know, uh, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. This was a psychological play on propping up the banking system in 1933. Like, you know, Franklin Roosevelt said, you know, he he he thought he might be the last president. And that was something he worried about. It was like you having a banking, he didn't want a banking, uh, a run on the banks or a bank collapse or anything like that. So it was all psychological, it was built into that that speech and that rhetoric is do something, right? So it's interesting now you have that psychology behind you know, propping things up, but that's where we are. And then it's all it's gotten very skewed. If you look at um like the major groupthink is like there's value in AI, there's value in these stocks, and it's just not true. You know, the the fake, right? It's reaching peak fake, is what we're doing. And fiat currency creates a meme coin type of economy. It's just gambling at this point. Like, and that's why a lot of the younger generations are and younger people are just checking out. Like they don't do, and there's an article, I can't get to it, but there's an article by Michael Snyder up on Activist Post. My friend Charlie Robinson runs. And it's like a lot of people believe that the American dream is completely out of reach. It's because they've been priced out of it. They've been priced out of it because we have more money, and if I can get to it, we'll get to another article that talks about that and the the loss of purchasing power in the dollar. It's truly catastrophic. So there's a lot of forces coalescing, and it's good to keep your head, keep everything kind of balanced through this because the headlines are going to make you just think that you're insane. And no, you're not. So I'm here to tell, well, I saw a meme the other day, and uh, I knew I want to repurpose it, but it was really good. It was like a it was a woman spray painting a wall doing some graffiti, and it said, I will succeed because I am insane. Well, you know, there's a lot of truth to that. You look at if you can turn the headlines upside down and you look at everything through the reverse lens and you re-engineer it, a lot of it's just BS. And it's built to keep you stagnated and poor and um you know running on empty. I will leave the uh, I told Tony Sr., I told my dad I would you know leave the text line open for him. He's all your dad, you're welcome to text if you he heard the show a little bit later last time. I think he was the at the very tail end. So he's always welcome to join the show. But I will let's go ahead and check comments.
Live Chat, Jokes, And Real Questions
SPEAKER_00Again, if you've had anything for me, uh please uh feel free to uh join the broadcast. Give me some questions, anything you want to go into. Uh Rhonda Tates in the chat said, Hey Tony. Hey Rhonda, it's good, always good to see you. Bronx Stomper uh says afternoon. Uh a Marco7453. Denying atom bombs till it hits me in the face. Well, you know, hey, that is your right to do, and it's uh my job to tell you that they do exist. Uh Frank Stomper111 says, Tony, wondering if you have any tips or points on government agricultural programs and policies. Tomorrow I will be the only livestock representative on a regenerative agricultural panel for several state and federal politicians, including the Under Secretary of Agricultural State. Oh, that's cool. Uh, you know, that's a that's a level like a subject matter that I don't know a lot about. Uh I mean, interworking with government is always a task. I mean, you gotta have uh you need to you need to do louse yourself. Maybe, you know, make sure that you've got some garlic with you and maybe a spike. No, don't do that. Uh that that they would uh you probably won't get through security. So it's uh when you're dealing with vampires, uh, but definitely uh maybe keep a small Bible with you. Uh anything that uh anything to keep the evil spirits away when you're dealing with the government. But yeah, that you should always um strive to make you know your your viewpoints known. And if you can uh help you know turn the wheels of the mechanisms and the cogs of government, I I more my more power to you, brother. Uh let's see. Uh Bronx Star, I'm picking up as much constitutional silver as I can. Smart play. It's a very smart play. Uh oh, Rhonda Tate reminds me, uh, says the headlines are insane. Sounds like junior high school fighting. Yeah, it does. And I saw the a headline a couple of days ago. We talked last week about bread and circus, and they're moving a big portion of the UFC fight to the Lincoln Memorial. Like, my jokes were coming to pass in real time. I joked on America, unplugged. I'm like, I only watch sports now that are in government buildings. Like, I'm um, I think they should have slap fighting at the Smithsonian and uh maybe women's beach volleyball in the National Archives. And that's I I said that on Saturday. And then in the next headline, there's doing a whole series of events at the Lincoln Memorial. All right, then I want to check uh Rumble as well. You guys forget about I don't forget about the Rumble chat, neither should you. Let's see. Uh real Jason Barker said, I met Tony's son. He is just as built and as oppressive. He's a nice kid. Well, thank you. He's he's a good boy. He's out there handling business for me. I appreciate it. Well I can do the show and talk to all of you, my support group that all of you are. All right, uh, let's see. Harps is over on the uh Rumble chat, you the America Unplugged channel, ladies and gentlemen. Over on uh the Rumble channel, America Unplugged. You can uh get uh Donald Jeffrey shows, you can find America Unplugged itself and the Arterburn Radio Transmission and Gorilla Underground with uh my good friend Billy Ray Valentine. And he just he just chimed in, VRV. He said, What's up? Well, Billy, you're always welcome to join. If you want to join the transmission, you're welcome to. All right, let's uh we're about halfway through the transmission. So let's see. Um I was talking about inflation. Let's let's see. I you know, I I wanted to stay a little bit on task with that, and then we can jump to RFK. How about that? I don't have I've got four articles up. We're not gonna be able to get through them all. Uh I'll be uh monitor. I'm sure I forgot stuff, and uh Tony Sr. can remind me if I do. I'm always uh the hour is not enough. But that's good. It just leaves us, we have more material to talk about next time.
unknownAll right.
CPI Surge And The River Of Deceit
SPEAKER_00Um let's let's let's do a little bit of in the inflation data, and then we'll jump to RFK. Let me put this up on the screen here. Beans has transitioned over under the desk. Uh she's now on my on my boot. And I think she's making just to be at the ready in case we we've got a woodland creature that gets in here. She's gonna or a cat. Although she's pretty good with pumpkin. Uh Beans learned early on when we adopted her to help with cat control. We had feral cats in San Antonio. She thinks there's a reward for getting rid of cats, and that's just kind of ingrained in her. So, you know, it takes a while for her to get used to a cat. She doesn't chase pumpkin all that much unless pumpkin wants uh to be directly with me.
unknownAll right.
SPEAKER_00Let's uh I think this was natural news. Let's put this up on the screen. U.S. inflation rises 4.2% in May, highest in three years. Trump predicts drop after Iran war. Um you know, I think once you've once you've inflated something, it's like once you've expanded your mind, can it really retract I don't know. In this in this current uh economy and the way that the system works, can you really expect something to contract like that? The U.S. annual inflation rate surged 4.2 percent in May, up from 3.8% in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the BLS. This marks the highest 12-month inflation reading since April 2023. The increase was driven primarily by rising energy costs, the agency said. Oh, really? Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy categories, ticked up to 2.9% from 2.8 the prior month, according to the report. President Donald Trump and remarks to reporters acknowledged the inflation increase and stated he loves the inflation because it reflects the administration's efforts to seize Iranian oil. You know, I've read a lot of headlines in my time, and um that's probably one of the most ridiculous ones I've never I don't know that you can compare that to just about any statement of broad political nature in the history of the United States. I mean, I'm sure I'm missing something. But that's right up there. Uh do you realize um it's a serious matter? And they talked about that. I mean, uh David Knight mentioned um the movie The Big Short this morning when I was on with him. And, you know, one of the Brad Pitt character, you know, stops the two young traders from, you know, celebrating and spiking the football after they realize like how right they were on their uh their hedge and their short against the markets. And he said, you know what happens when you know the economy has a major setback like this, like when it has a catastrophic event, it actually equals death. You know, people die. Like it's not, it's not just numb, like you know, if you're wealthy and you can not have to worry so much when you look at the price of the pump, or you know, it's it's hitting you, but it's not hitting you like you're on a fixed income, which, you know, being on a fixed income in a fiat currency is a special kind of hell, you know, because you got a fixed dollar amount, especially if you retired on it or you got a pension or getting social security, and then you hit this, and it goes, you know, all the chickens start coming home to roost, and you have to pay the piper for all of the you know disastrous economic decisions that were made uh without your consent. And then you're left with a lot of decisions. You're like, well, I'm either gonna get you know meals or medicine. And we forget about our fellow Americans, and not just our Americans, but people around the world. This bleeds into everything. And to nonchalant, like just to throw that out there, you love inflation because it reflects the administration's efforts to seize Iranian oil. What does that even mean? You know, I I just I I have a hard time processing the amount of deceit. You know, when I was a kid, I and I still remember, I was 15, it's 1995, and I still remember what I was doing. I was in a a gym that no longer exists in Rockwall, Texas, and I was doing like um tricep work. And I on the radio, you had the 97.1, it was the eagle back then. I don't know what it is now. Um, but it played rock and other things, and they kicked on this song, and I it was Lane Staley, they you know, from Allison Chains, the lead singer, who was a genius, by the way. I mean, I re-listening to a lot of that music that I missed um in the 90s uh recently, and it just what the the artistic expression and the depth of that is like you don't find that today. So it's a it's a rare find. And he wanted one of the songs, he put out an album with a group that was, I think the guitarist from Pearl Jam and some others, I think he made like a not a super group, but they collaborated on something and they came up with this uh band called Mad Season. And I'd never heard this song at that time, but it just came on the radio and it was it's called River of Deceit. And I I just stopped what I was doing. I listened to it, and it really it's 15. This is the way my mind works, you know. I just it's it's a bit melancholy, it's introspective, and it it you know speaks to me in a lot of ways. You know, I I've I have a reflexive um energy about me of rejecting lies. I do not like lies. I don't like living in an untruth. And that song, if you ever want to sample it, go, it's a really, it's very deep about the the river of deceit. And this seems like we're we're uh floating the river of deceit right now. Uh I'll bring some uh I'll bring a cooler and uh you guys bring a picnic lunch, okay? We'll stop by the on the riverbank and uh break some bread because we're all in the river of deceit right now. Trump said the price rises are a direct result of U.S. military operations targeting Iran oil shipments. Quote, he says, I could have kept it that way, he told NBC's Christian Walker in an interview recorded earlier, acknowledging that the inflation was his choice resulting for the war. Well, that's one way to own it. And again, inflation, especially unnecessary inflation or unnecessary uh economic hardships. I mean, it's it's a it's a level of lie, and it's a level of irresponsibility that I don't we're just reaching new levels now. Like we're getting we're getting to we're getting to new heights of the of the deception, aren't we, folks? Energy I'm gonna one more thought on that. The mere fact that we didn't have to do this, or that we had so much opportunity to turn the ship around, like a multi-generational chance, maybe once in the the history of the United States, to, you know, a consensus to really root out some things and um calm things down and bring prosperity to our country and to the world, and that we missed that mark and then went down this dark path. It's just it it blindsides the mind if you really digest it fully. Energy costs were the primary driver of May inflation, the BLS reported. Gas and electricity costs are nearly 25% higher than they were a year ago, according to the consumer price index. The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline rose 4.15 in May from 2.98 in February, according to data. The surge followed U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical choke point for global and gas shipments. The Strait of Hormuz closure disrupted roughly one-fifth of the world's daily oil supply, according to analysts. You know, and this is how you get to the thought pattern like I have, where you look at the the events not through the lens of cause and effect, but necessarily, but through the lens of conspiracy, through the lens of planning, of like being farmed, like of resetting things in a way that benefits the few and not the many, and doing it with the subterfuge of the you know supposed uh sanctions or the uh taking away Iran's ability to produce nuclear weapons that Benjamin Netanyahu said was imminent. I believe in like I mean going back to like 1992 and even before that, uh all the way back, like Netanyahu like formed groups in 1979 to combat all these things that were manufactured by the powers that be. It's really is disgusting if you look at it. But you know, the data that's coming out now, just uh follow that line of logic, the data that's coming out is showing that more and more Americans, especially younger, the younger generations, are not on board for this. So this is a a hurry-up offense on the political structure that to carry out these things for Israel and uh for the neocon mindset, which is not popular. And enough economic pressure, folks, will uh create coalitions and others, the other things that will happen, and this tide will recede. It will break. It'll be like that quote from Hunter S. Thompson and uh fear and loathing in Las Vegas when he saw the wave break, you know, the revolution rolled back. Well, there'll be a rollback of this unholy revolution that's been thrust upon us. All right. Trump speaking to reporters said the United States has been taking out millions of barrels of oil from the from Iran, including 22 ships of oil last night, according to a statement he made. He also announced the on Truth Social a secret mission to support oil tankers and other commercial ships through the Strait of Hormoons. Well, it's not secret now, uh, that resulted in uh more than 100 million barrels of oil making it through the strait. Again, they keep quoting, I love the inflation. Because you know, the soon as the war is over, do you know what we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now. Okay. Well, there's your 5D chess, folks. The inflation rate of 4.2% far exceeds the Federal Reserve's long-term target of 2%, analysts noted. The likelihood of the Fed raising interest rates to curtail spending has increased, according to economists. Higher inflation rates raises the possibility that the central bank will tighten monetary policy, which uh would would increase borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. Well, I can just promise you folks that that may be the headline and that may be the signaling of policy, but that is not what they're going to be forced to do. And this article goes on the conclusion is the combination of war-driven energy disruption, rising consumer prices, and the highest inflation in three years has created significant economic strain on American households. Trump has framed the inflation spike as temporary cost of military operations aimed at securing oil supplies, and he has predicted that prices will fall sharply once the conflict ends. Where have I heard this before? Where have we all heard this before? Remember that um Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen said that inflation was uh transitory. Remember it's transitory, folks. And I think um, you know, if you go back to when they were making those comments, uh gold was about sixteen hundred dollars an ounce. So yeah, real, real transitory. Uh didn't last long. And uh, you know, now that Jerome Powell's out and Warsh is in, uh the whole point of Warsh was to lower interest rates. And now they're saying, well, we're gonna hold this is all a psychological uh mechanism to get you to buy into narrative. It has nothing to do with reality. They will be forced to print. And just like Larry Lupard in his book, you know, the big print, that's coming. Because the in order to have the reset, you have to create all the golden parachutes, you have to, you know, create the conditions to reset into a different system, and they will pull that trigger eventually. So All of this is just all the interim stuff is just noise. Remember the fundamentals. When it comes to inflation, when it comes to central bank currency creation and the prices of commodities, just know if you're following this, you're on the right side of history. I promise you. It may get ugly. There may be setbacks and there may be downturns and whatever you're holding may suffer. But in the long run, if you're holding finite, it will always beat infinite. Okay. In the realm of economics, what is in short supply will always beat what is in uh infinite supply. Okay, that's just math. You don't have to be a genius to figure that out. All right. I think uh let's check my phone really quick. Uh Tony Sr. has sent me uh more sellers than buyers, son, and banks have a low. Let me pull this up so I've got my phone on do not disturb, so only one thing gets through. More sellers than buyers. And banks have a low basis, perhaps, and they are taking profits or moving into fiat money or into other assets. Could be other reasons that are not obvious. Banks feel that they can make a better return by selling gold and investing it rather than buying it. Well, that's true, and a lot of things are chasing AI right now, which is a huge, I mean, fundamentally will change the way that uh everything works, you know, economically around the world. Um, but it'll be just like the dot-com deal. And uh, I think my dad knows that. When uh Volcker was fed chair, the public couldn't move money into gold. Well, they could after the Christmas of '74 when uh Gerald Ford made it legal for you to own gold again, but it was slow moving. He's right about that. You couldn't legally own gold from 1933 to 1974. Let's see. Plus, the Fed targets for unemployment was like 6%, not 3%, like it is today. In the 70s, they bought government bonds or treasuries instead of gold because they couldn't buy gold. Well, that's true until the mid-70s. You're right about that, Dan.
Alpha Gal, Ticks, And Bio Warfare History
SPEAKER_00All right. Uh, last little bit of the show. Let's talk about some of the parapolitical, and I've mentioned this many times before. Uh, if you want to look at uh the darkness in those who are planners for you, like without your consent. Are you talking about the the Davos set or the Klaus Schwabian types, the World Economic Forum people, and you know, the parasite class, which is funny because we're talking about um blood-sucking parasites, we can talk about ticks. One of the Gerald Celente talked about uh the uh politics. Polly means many, and ticks are bloodsucking parasites, so politics is it's like many things sucking the life out of you. It's very true. Uh let's put uh this article up on the screen. I want to talk about uh this uh zero hedge piece on uh on ticks. I think this will this will be more and more uh of an issue moving forward. It's not getting as much play as it should right now, but there's a long history of this. RFK Jr. responds to explosion in Tickborne, WEF World Economic Forum touted Alpha Gall Syndrome, and again, you know, there you have figures so-called, and uh I can just look at a person, like especially like these academic types, or a man, if you want to call it that, like the the way that they talk, the way that they look, and I'm like, I already know like what sort of like the hatred in their heart for for humanity, like wanting to have that power, you know, they having power over others, like the um they had this same kind of system in the in communist countries when people would have so little power power, but if you give them like a bureaucratic position, um, they would feel powerless themselves, so they would project their you know petty things onto people, whether they were uh you know handing out government uh sanctioned food or whatever, like access to a certain department or something, they would have their own little fiefdom. It creates all these little dictators and all and be because you know human nature, when you have an artificial construct like the Soviet Union, like this iron fist and without a velvet glove on, just literally an iron fist, just over our sword of Damocles, like you you have to act a certain way. You're living like Soldier Nitson said, don't live by lies, live not by lies. Well, people live by lies in a certain extent, and these petty bureaucrats they get really full of themselves. It's very demonic. So we'll get to this article and we'll get into some of this uh on tick-borne illnesses. And in response to a question on the topic posed by Zero Head Reporter Liam Gossgrove, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently addressed the astronomical increase in Alpha Gal syndrome, a tick-borne infection that causes potentially life-threatening allergic reactions to red meat. Last week I went to New Hampshire to address the explosion of Alpha Gal, and we take it very seriously. One of the epicenters is Martha's Vineyard, where 50% of the adult population is now affected. It is really a devastating disease. You can't eat red meat for the rest of your life. We are looking at medications that can serve as both prophylactics and potential cures for it. We're funding those studies now, and we're working on the companies that are making those. We've also launched a major effort on tick control through a number of different strategies that addresses deer populations. Three ticks that are causing these, most of the tick-borne illnesses are all they all breed on deer, which is another thing, right? When they're thinking up their evil plans. I mean, this is like going after the food supply, going after venison, putting it it's really an evil genius. And we're looking at strat at strategies for eliminating their breeding capacity. This also shows like I I tried to pull this clip up earlier and it just wouldn't play. But this this there's a clip from the World Economic Forum, uh, Matthew Liao, one of these people that I'm talking about. I can just look at them. And they've had others like Harvard, um uh I think they're biologists or uh whatever they are, like the the people that are really into population control and other things like saying how wonderful it would be if this could be you know reproduced on a massive scale to have alpha gale in the population because it would help with you know climate change and all the other crap that um is built into it's anti-human. I mean, never be fooled by that. Or whatever uh I'm a conservationist, like Teddy Roosevelt or something. I I want clean water or clean air. I mean, more than anything, this planet needs to be cleaned up, like especially you know, just the war machine itself, like just the amount of munitions, other stuff that goes on that's unnecessary, just polluting things. Um, but they're not about green, okay? They're green like a watermelon, green on the outside and communist red on the inside. And this is what Matthew Lau from the World Economic Forum says we can induce meat allergy by using lone star ticks to stop the consumption of meat and quote, help the planet. Help the planet. So the planet itself needs help, but not people. I mean, this is the you have to, I mean, this this goes back to the the religion of these folks. They have a different faith and it's anti-human. Whether they admit it or not, I mean they want to build an AI God and all this other stuff to supplant the actual God, that that's what they think they can do, which is so funny, you know, because all of this is God's anyway. Like the entire life simulation, everything that was set up is God Almighty's, it's not theirs. But you get to see in real time, like the uh you've all Harari and that man is a hackable animal, all this stuff. Like this is um what is it that that quote from Orwell, those who can make you uh believe absurdities will have you commit atrocities, something like that. And uh the article goes on over the last month, a groundswell of anecdotal accounts and videos from farmers and ranchers across the country have flooded social media depicting massive tick infestations on their properties. And then there's uh videos. I don't know if I can even play it. Maybe we can. Man films a strange box of ticks dropped in woods uh on such many reports. I don't think I can play it through here. It'll take us to another, but you guys, if you follow any of this stuff, you know that they've these videos are dropping. Apart from how effectively uh Alpha Gale syndrome uh has infected, another questioning hanging in the air is posed by Cosgrove but addressed by Kennedy is whether the documented six increase in Alpha Gal over the past 10 years is an organic phenomenon like COVID or man-made. Oh well, that's kind of a that doesn't really flow well. Um both of those are contrived. Uh as I reported in detail at the Armageddon Pros in May against this backdrop, the National Security State has a long history of weaponizing ticks at notorious research facilities like Fort Dietrich and Plum Island, including proposals to dump disease ticks on Cuban sugar plantations in the 1960s in order to undermine its economy with the ultimate aim of triggering regime change. During the Cold War, the United States maintained an active biological warfare program from 1943 until President Richard Nixon ordered its termination in 1969. Centered at Fort Dietrich in Maryland, the program explored various delivery systems for pathogens, including insects such as fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks. Oh, well, you know, we haven't weaponized mosquitoes either. One notable experiment, Operation Big Itch in 1954, involved releasing approximately 670,000 fleas from cluster munitions to test their viability as disease vectors, with some work reportedly conducted at Plum Island, where large colonies of both soft and hard ticks were maintained. Wildlife, including deer and birds, moved freely between the island and the Connecticut mainland, creating potential pathways for pathogens to reach local populations. This program gained additional momentum during the Kennedy administration. In response to Cuba's alignment with the Soviet Union, the United States launched Operation Mongoose, a covert campaign at undermining Fidel Castro's regime. Some proposals reportedly examine the use of disease-carrying insects to target Cuban agricultural workers, particularly in sugarcane and tobacco fields. Well, you know, it's one of the when I read this article this morning, one of the things that I immediately thought about was the warning, you know, you go look at the Cold Warriors, and uh Stanley Kubrick really got this right. You know, we had the this mindset shift in the defense apparatus and something that Eisenhower talked about. You know, he talked about the military-industrial complex, but it was more than that. We had a policy shift and a mindset shift because of Operation Paperclip. I mean, that Operation Paperclip was the race between the Soviet Union and the United States to get the best Nazi scientist. I mean, that's just fact. And Kubrick really captured that well. I think it's Peter Sellers and and um Dr. Strangelove, where he just can't keep himself from giving a Sig Heil, you know, he's trying to hold his arm down. I think he addresses the president as Mind Fuhrer and all this stuff. That was uh you know, underlying some of that message there, but that's true, you know, and we ended up becoming the monsters that we propose to uh to oppose. Like we became the monsters that we fight, you know, and that is something that happens a lot. You you have to outmonster the monster. And a lot of these experiments and the things that were done, we just we still a lot of so much of it's classified. I mean, the only reason you know about things like Operation Northwoods or anything is because of the data dump that was done after the uh uh movie JFK by Oliver Stone. And uh Congress wanted more documents released, so you get things like, well, you find out about you know, Operation Northwoods is like this operation to hijack planes and you know, uh bomb civilian targets and create false flags and blame it on the Cubans. And even Operation Mongoose itself um blew back, you know, that that that CIA term the blowback, it blew back, and uh those are most likely the uh organization or the people that were responsible for the murder of JFK. It's like a military-industrial complex and um you know the war machine. So it is interesting, like a lot of this stuff, and I we can I wish I had more time. I'd I continue to to cover more of this, but you guys will see more of this type of stuff. And these uh biological operations and other things that have gone on, um, it's really gaining favor through a lot of the you know parasite class, the real the lizard folk. They love this stuff. I mean, it's population control and it's got a it's got a uh you know, it's got a scapegoat. Oh, it's natural. Don't blame it on climate change and other things. Don't you buy it for a minute. A lot of this stuff has a massive history. The only thing new under the sun is the history you don't know. All
Final Takeaways And Where To Find Us
SPEAKER_00right. Um that's uh that's all the article I can cover for right now, but I appreciate uh everybody being here. It always means a lot to me. And uh I've got some got some new uh stuff coming out for uh Paratrouther soon. Um Mr. Anderson and I are gonna do a show on uh Philip K. Dick, and uh that's a fascinating subject matter about um his ability to look into the future. Some of the things he he wrote um, you know, like uh total recall and many other things, like just the uh contribution that he made through uh his writing and uh futuristic simulation theory, all that stuff. We're gonna talk about that. And uh, he's got a whole bunch of notes. So uh stay tuned for a new paratroother on that. Um as I close out, I'm you know, just going back to the original thesis. Uh, don't worry about these gold prices. I'm a buyer. I backed the truck up yesterday. And uh so walking the walk um for all of you. I I stay tuned into all this. I I think everything is gonna be just fine. Uh I think our philosophy is holding up pretty well in all of these uh strange times. So, Tony.gold, if you want to uh contact me through my website or look into any of the uh precious metals offerings through WiseWolf or Wolfpack, uh, you can go to wolfpack.gold or wisewolf.gold, either one of those, and contact us. We can help you get out of those Luciferian bankster notes uh and into something that's actually real and tangible and outside of the system. So I appreciate all of you guys. Have a great weekend. Remember America Unplugged uh at uh 12 Eastern on Saturday. The legendary Donald Jeffries, uh Billy Ray Valentine, and myself will take on the headlines of the week and um deco the dystopia to the best of our ability with you. All right, from Beans the Brave, uh Pumpkin, Beth, Houston, everybody here at the uh shop here in Denison, you guys take care of each other. End of transmission.
