As the clock strikes 13, it's the 19th of December, year of our Lord, 2023.
Today we're going to talk about cosmic preppers.
You know, people like Zuckerberg and Bezos and Musk.
Whether or not they take to space, they have astronomical amounts of money that they're spending on protecting themselves.
Why? What do they see coming that you need to know about?
And how are they manipulating us into this dystopian crash that they see coming?
Stay with us.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Of course, he's doing it in Hawaii.
That's nice, too. In Kauai, as a matter of fact.
Money is no object.
It has a sprawling 5,000 square foot bunker with its own source of power.
And of course, we have seen Zuckerberg training to fight.
What does he think is coming?
What is he concerned about?
Of course, if you spend enough money, if you're rich enough, nobody calls you paranoid.
Nobody calls you a conspiracy theorist.
And these guys are not theorists.
They are the conspiracy planners.
They're a part of this.
And he's always been a part of this.
Again, you know, when you go back and you look at the app that they had, they called it LifeLog.
Where they were going to, Homeland Security is going to keep track of everybody, keep a log of everybody for their entire life.
And everybody said, well, we don't want that total information awareness and the life log.
That's pretty creepy.
Okay, we'll shut it down.
It won't be government.
It'll be private.
It'll be a corporation. Won't that be good?
And you'll be able to buy stock in it.
That's all cool, right? And libertarians are like, well, we'll get with that.
As long as the government's not doing it, as long as they dish the money over to Mark Zuckerberg and set him up as a front guy for all this stuff, that's fine.
No problem. And so the very next day after they shut it down, the day before Facebook opened up, I'm sure it's all just a coincidence.
Wired Magazine reports the gargantuan estate, one of the most expensive in Hawaii, or in the world for that matter, It's so shrouded in secrecy that any tradesperson or security personnel working at the site is fired immediately if they talk to the press.
One person said, well, it's Fight Club, and we don't talk about Fight Club, said a former contractor.
And again, it is Fight Club, and he's in training for what is coming.
According to public documents obtained by Wired, the compound will consist of more than a dozen buildings featuring 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms.
A wooded area will be decked out with 11 tree houses connected by rope bridges.
That's for the time when there's not something really bad going on.
A massive underground shelter, when things do get bad, has everything from an escape hatch to a blast door.
I like blasts from the past.
The movie, if you haven't seen it.
It's also slathered in security cameras.
Reinforced concrete underground shelter will be built in a style that's, quote, common for bunkers and bomb shelters, according to the report.
A massive 55-foot water tank and a power source make the shelter largely self-sufficient.
Given the non-disclosure agreements workers have to sign, the tycoon is hell-bent on keeping trespassers out at all costs.
The only time you see that is when you're doing secure military installations, said a local official.
For a private project, to have an NDA attached to it is very rare.
And, of course, we've seen these deep underground bunkers built in many different places.
AT&T had them not too far from where we lived in North Carolina.
I told everybody, oh, that was a Cold War relic.
It's not an operation anymore.
And Karen took the boys down one day to look at Big Hole.
And... It was all opened up, and as they drove in the area, all these loudspeakers, turn around, turn the car around, you're in a secure area.
And it features at the very beginning of the book, Raven Rock, talking about the government's plan to save itself and let everybody else die in a nuclear war, or whatever else they create.
And that book begins with Richard Nixon as he's headed to California.
He's just resigned, and they're exchanging the nuclear football.
And as they talk about it, they talk about how the handoff is and things are happening as he's in the air.
Talked about the one just outside of Raleigh, the big hole.
Then talked about one in Charlotte, North Carolina, as they were going.
Yeah, those are all still there.
Given Meta's abysmal track record in ensuring...
Billions of users' privacy when they use his product.
It's pretty ironic to see that Zuckerberg is willing to go to the end of the world to keep his massive Hawaiian estate a secret.
I would not be surprised if NDAs were the bubble wrap on every interaction for the privacy-conscious tech billionaires whose business is the sale of our personal data.
So the privacy expert, Danielle Citron, who once visited a Zuckerberg home in Silicon Valley, and she reported it to Wired Magazine.
And so as we look at this, Jeff Bezos has always been About living in space and setting up colonies in space.
He's talked about this many, many times.
They even talked once about the difference in the vision of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, who both want to go into space.
I called it the billionaire space race.
I did a report on that once.
And I said, if you look at what their focus is, you know, Elon Musk is saying, I want to go to Mars.
And And Jeff Bezos was like, well, I want to have these high frontier type colonies that were part of a, it was a book called High Frontier.
Gerard K. O'Neill wrote it and he, you know, He came up with some initial designs that a lot of other people have been working on since.
And he had these toroidal space stations like the ones that you saw in Elysium.
As a matter of fact, I got a couple of clips about that.
But his idea was that they would build these things.
And then later on, as I looked at what Hugo de Garris was saying in terms of the Artelect War, He said there's going to be a war over artificial intelligence.
When people see what AI is being used for, when people see what the technocracy is doing to us, they're going to push back.
And what these people will do is they will go off-planet.
And so you go to Garrison's book, he called them the Cosmists.
He said the people who remain behind will be the Terrans.
But he said they'll have a tremendous amount of weaponry that's very sophisticated and advanced.
They will unleash that from space on those of us who remain on Earth.
He said it'll result in giga-death.
Now, all that may be true. It's very plausible, isn't it?
It's looking more and more like that every day, especially when you see these people making their plans like Jeff Bezos.
He is still laser-focused.
On these orbiting space stations, rather than something that's going to take most of your life to get to Mars, and then it's like a one-way trip.
He is a lot more, I thought, practical focus than Musk.
But they had a different outlook, a different goal that they wanted to accomplish.
And so, it was a billionaire space race, but not exactly in the same way.
And so now, Bezos is talking about it yet again.
He loves to talk about that book.
By Gerard K. O'Neill.
He was an engineering student.
He got a degree in electrical engineering like I did.
And really, this is not something that has to do with electrical engineering.
This is more, you know, aerospace engineering and kinetics and things like that.
But it's, you know, somehow I found it.
He found it as well. He's just a few years younger than me.
But it really hit his imagination when he found it.
I thought it was very, very interesting.
I remembered it. I still have the book here somewhere.
But he always talks about this whenever he talks about space.
And what he said in this recent interview that he had, he said, well, the planetary surfaces are just way too small.
Are they? Really? I mean, if you were to pack people like sardines into a smart city, how many people could you pack into, let's say, Texas?
Well, pretty much, you could comfortably get the entire world's population if you want to pack us like sardines in a smart city into the state of Texas and have lots of room left over.
So that's not the issue.
Now, what is he talking about doing with this?
Is it going to be an artilect war?
Is it going to be some kind of, maybe...
Maybe what they plan on ultimately doing is he talks about what we need to have like a trillion people up in space.
Wow. Well, are they going to make these space stations space prisons?
Will they transport us there like the British Empire once transported its prisoners far away to Australia?
Is that the goal with that? To transport us to space prison colonies?
Or do they just want to kill us all?
As they're well on the way of doing right now.
Or with some kind of giga-death artilect war.
If it were up to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, we'd all be living inside massive cylindrical space stations, floating through the distant corners of our solar system, while longingly staring back at the pale blue dot that we once called home.
And of course, as he's talking about this, he says, well, you know, we'll probably just come back to Earth for vacations.
Guess who's going to be on vacation all the time?
Jeff Bezos, like he is right now.
On his gigantic mega-yacht.
Yeah, he'll be here.
You'll be up there, longing to get back to Earth.
During a recent interview, he said that these habitats, like those first described by Gerard K. O'Neill, could allow an astronomical number of humans to survive.
He said, I'd love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system.
If we had a trillion humans...
We would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins.
Well, it's an interesting thing, right?
You ever heard Gates say anything like that?
Is Bezos really pro-life?
Does he really want to have a lot of people?
I'm somewhat skeptical.
You know, Amazon gives a lot of money to Planned Parenthood.
And his former wife, and of course, former wife, I don't know.
Maybe they don't see eye to eye on this either.
But his former wife, Mackenzie, gave $275 million to Planned Parenthood.
So I'm not sure they want a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einstein's because, you know, you've got to have babies to have that.
I'm not sure that he really, you know, that's one of the things about these transhumanists and these technocrats like Bezos and Musk, they go, oh yeah, you've got to have more people.
Somehow that just doesn't line up with what they do.
Anyway, Bezos, his company, Blue Origin, Musk's SpaceX.
Bezos is very much like Musk in the sense that he wants to make humanity, quote, multi-planetary.
He said, our planet would become a holiday destiny.
Only for the very, very rich, of course.
Because, you know, we don't want you people coming here and spoiling it with your CO2 that you breathe out.
That's the thing now.
Now they're talking about human breath.
Stop breathing. Well, we know how they want to stop us from breathing.
Allowing us to hop on a shuttle to visit the Earth the same way that you might go to Yellowstone National Park.
He's also optimistic about the future of AI. He says people are overly concerned about the dangers of the tech.
There's nothing to be concerned about, about any of this stuff, right?
It's all going to work out fine.
Well, I think it will, but not for the reasons that they give us.
And who knows, maybe Amazon's future space habitats will welcome people with open arms, says Futurism, when the climate worsens to the point where living on the Earth's surface is no longer a viable option.
What a joke. It'll no longer be a viable option if these people get the upper hand.
It's not about any of this climate stuff.
You know that as well as I do.
And so here's a little video of what these colonies look like.
You saw it depicted very accurately in Elysium.
And so here's the beginning of a short little video.
You can find this on YouTube. It's called Futurology.
And they talk about the plausibility of this.
They say, well, you know, we know how to build this.
All we need is somebody with a lot of money.
In the 2013 blockbuster movie, Elysium, we are introduced to a fictional space station of immense beauty, a luxurious wheel-shaped habitat floating in the heavens.
Although it may seem out of this world, Elysium's design is backed by science and is actually very realistic, a hybrid of the bishop ring We're good to go.
To maintain its atmosphere, Elysium uses a thin layer of controlled plasma, strong enough to prevent air from escaping, but weak enough to allow ships to pass through.
This technology is mostly fictional, and for a real station, we would build a solid glass roof.
Anyways, Elysium has a depth of 2 kilometers and 377 square kilometers of habitable surface that can host up to 869,000 people in a suburban and luxurious environment.
However, if Elysium's surface was an urban environment, it could host up to 10 million people.
So, if it was an urban environment, if it was something like, you know, 15-minute city, well, this is the ultimate 15-minute city, isn't it?
You can go around this little toroidal ring here, and then you're done.
You're not going anywhere else.
We've cut off all transportation for you.
No problem at all. You're not going to bother us anymore.
Yeah, that is the ultimate 15-minute city, the ultimate smart city, the ultimate open-air prison, even though they've got to enclose it.
You know, that was one of the things when I looked at it, I thought, how in the world would they do that?
They show on the movie as part of the plot.
Matt Damien hijacks the shuttle and he goes up to this elitist place that they call Elysium.
And he flies the shuttle in and it's open.
I mean, it's kind of like a U-shaped thing and the top surface is open.
I thought, how does that work?
It's not going to be spinning fast enough to keep the air on there.
And it's like, yeah, well, that's what he talked about.
He said that part of it is not realistic.
They had to invent the idea that there's some kind of a weak field that's going to keep...
The air there, but it's going to let vehicles pass through it.
That part of it is not realistic, and he doesn't say it, but I think the part of putting it in geostationary orbit, about 20,000 kilometers or miles, that's probably geosynchronous orbit, where you put a satellite up And as it's orbiting the Earth, it's turning at such a speed at that distance that it stays fixed in a particular spot over the Earth.
Satellites like that eventually decay and fall to the Earth.
You wouldn't want to go to all that trouble and put 10 million people in a smart city up there and have it fall to the Earth, would you?
Or maybe they do. I know.
Planned obsolescence to the nth degree.
No, what Gerard K. O'Neill talked about doing was putting them in places, they call them Lagrange libration points.
These are gravitationally neutral areas between the Earth and the Moon.
And if you put something in that area, it just stays.
And so there's a couple of them that are off of, there's actually I think five of them, but the two that figured into his book were close to the moon.
And so his idea was that you could go down and strip mine resources off of the moon, ship them up to these Lagrange libration points where they'd have factories.
And so you could shoot it up there with a maglev rail system that's going to catapult it up there, get escape velocity and direct it in that direction.
And then they would capture the raw materials that are shot up, all this garbage.
And then they would process it in space where there is abundant energy.
You know, you can get a tremendous amount.
You always want to have, for machines, you want to have a temperature differential, right?
It says, well, you can get things super cold in space just by making them reflective so they don't get any sunlight warming them.
And if you want to make them super, super hot, you just paint them black.
So, therefore, we've got all this infinite energy that we can harness very easily, and we can get the raw materials from the moon.
And I always, whenever I talk about this, I say, yeah, no wonder it appeals to Jeff Bezos and Amazon, because after he assembles his products, he can just literally drop ship them to the Earth, let them fall back in.
But, you know, so it would not be in an Earth orbit like that.
Unless it was more of a temporary thing.
But think about that. 10 million people packed into a city.
And as he was saying, well, we need to have a trillion people throughout the galaxy.
Well, you know, we talk about trillions all the time.
We talk about money, don't we?
Eh, it's just another word.
Trillion. It's just like a billion or a million.
Oh, no, it's a completely different animal.
You think about having, you know, 10 million people in a packed city.
Well, you'd have to have, what, 100,000 of these things throughout the universe?
100,000 of them in order to have a trillion people throughout the universe.
But, you know, when you look at all of this, all of these billionaires, all these transhumanists, all these technocrats, Are not benevolent.
They're not about lifting up their fellow man.
Nobody who pursues that kind of wealth and power is.
And when you look at what they're doing, when you look at what Musk is doing to build a following, in the same way that Trump did, I'm going to position myself as the counter to everything that everybody doesn't like, whether or not that is true.
It's a great way to, you know, build a following.
Of course, you're going to become a lightning rod.
A lot of people are going to genuinely hate you.
You're going to have a lot of people who are gunning for you.
But of course, if you're the richest man on earth, as Elon Musk is, you've already got a lot of people gunning for you, don't you?
And so he's used to that.
And so he can do these polarizing statements.
But when we look at what these people are focused on, we should be very concerned about their background.
And yet I consistently see And the conservative and libertarian press, simply because he bought Twitter and reinvented himself, you know, this guy was one of the most ESG woke people on earth until he goes to Babylon Bee and talks to them and subsequent to that he decides he's going to buy Twitter.
Isn't that interesting how that all came about?
And And now he is on our side.
And he's going to sacrifice everything for us.
Where did he get these principles?
What is it that really motivates him?
What does he truly believe? And so we have an article on Brownstone from Jeffrey Tucker talking about our suffering savior, Elon Musk.
I'm serious. You know, this is the new Messiah.
We're always looking for For some benevolent dictator.
Some benevolent billionaire.
He's not beholden to the system.
He's independently wealthy.
They can't take him down.
All the rest of this stuff, right?
And he's going to save us.
And he's the only one who can save us.
I categorically reject that kind of hero worship.
But Jeffrey Tucker says, Elon Musk, the world's richest man, but also the number one target of the world's richest governments and their associated industrialists.
The reason traces entirely to his independence of mind and the actions that follow from that.
I recall seeing some old magazines that my dad had saved.
In the Depression, he was very focused on trying to make money.
He was very poor during the Depression.
I remember seeing when I was in high school or college, there was a business magazine that he'd clipped out.
And it was all about John D. Rockefeller and how this guy was a self-made man.
Look at all the businesses that he built and all the people that he gave jobs to and all the rest of this stuff.
And that's a very common thing back in the early 20th century.
But that kind of mindset is still around.
How did things work out with John D. Rockefeller and the Rockefeller family?
How are things going to work out with Elon Musk?
What do you think? Save this and play this tape in a hundred years and you'll know.
Okay? I think I already know the direction it's going.
I know the direction that the Musk family was headed a hundred years ago, as a matter of fact, with this technocracy.
I know what their values are.
They haven't changed. You're not going to find me worshipping this guy as a savior.
In times of censorship, says Jeffrey Tucker, he bought and now protects a free speech platform.
Isn't that great? The only one remaining with any real reach into the public mind.
Countless millions of people are deeply grateful, even if the platform is a long way from profitability.
That's right. Elon Musk is going to stand up to those globalists for us.
And here's an example of him standing up.
To Conspiracy Theory Brett...
We should...
That's the name, Theory.
Theory. So we should say the Theory Conspiracy, I guess.
So we are in Austin together with Elon Musk.
Thank you very much, Elon, for welcoming me.
Thank you, most welcome. And of course, we discussed many issues, and I was happy to be able to explain to you the DSA, a new regulation in Europe.
And I think that now you understand very well.
It fits pretty well with what you think we should do on a platform?
No, I think it's exactly aligned with my thinking.
I very much agree with...
It's been a great discussion.
And I really think...
I agree with everything you said, really.
I think we're all very much of the same mind, and I think just anything that my companies can do that would be beneficial to Europe, we want to do that, I just want to say.
No, thank you very much. That's, again, a good example.
When we see that there could be some differences, especially when we are speaking things so important for our fellow citizens, as in the life of the digital space, the best is to I'm happy to send it to your line.
Sounds good. Thank you very much.
Thank you. All right.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. So he's licking his boots there.
You know, the DSA is the censorship thing that had already been passed.
It's now been activated. And now they are making noise about it.
You know, Theory Conspiracy Breton is now saying that he thinks that Elon has infringed on those rules.
And so when you look at this, you know, so in that meeting, who was lying?
You know, was Elon Musk playing 4D chess, as Alex would say?
Was he lying to the conspiracy theory?
Or was he, was he lying, is he lying to you?
If he'll lie to this guy who is the head of the EU, do you think he'll lie to you?
Or not ahead of the EU, but he is their digital commissioner.
The Digital Commissioner of the EU. And I've seen this narrative, not just from this one writer, but I've seen this over and over and over again.
This guy, the richest man on earth, is just laying down his money for our free speech.
Isn't that wonderful?
Well, maybe he's got another agenda.
And so, you know, as Conspiracy Theory Breton is saying, suspected breach of obligations to counter illegal content and disinformation, suspected breach of transparency obligations, suspected deceptive design of user interface.
User interface is deceptively designed?
I think it's one of the clearest ones that are there, quite frankly.
But look, the question is, is Elon Musk really standing up to this guy?
Or is there some kind of shadow censorship that's going on?
Has the shadow ban that has been going on Twitter for quite some time, is that still there?
Are these high-profile people that he's bringing in and making a big deal of it, is it just for show?
So Elon's been very clear that he works to respect the laws of every country, even with those with which he strongly disagrees, says Jeffrey Tucker.
And that's why we see him kowtowing to Chinese communist dictators and to European Union dictators like conspiracy theory Breton.
He says this pertains to the EU's aggressive censorship, which was deployed through the COVID era at the expense of scientific freedom, defense of government corruption.
That locked up and locked down their citizenry.
That forced medical treatment on citizens that did not want or need, then covered up behind-the-scenes machinations.
So the question is, are there behind-the-scenes machinations now that are going on?
He says, after March 2020, there was a concerted effort led by deep state actors to gain full control of social media to squelch any dissent.
No, actually, they ramped it up, but it had been there for a long time.
And prior to 2020, it was more covert than it was overt.
There was some high-profile deplatforming, but for the most part, it was there as a covert operation.
And so the question is, is it still there as a covert operation?
If you didn't see it before March 2020, maybe you don't see it now.
Anyway, he says, Musk bought the Twitter platform then and purged four out of five employees, including many government agents who had been hired to turn Twitter into a government propaganda machine.
What is missing from this article by Jeffrey is that, and I like a lot of his work, I'm critical of this article, but I've quoted his stuff many times and I generally like what he has to say, but what is missing from this is a complete historical context.
He has absolutely no idea.
Where the internet came from, has absolutely no idea of In-Q-Tel and all the rest of the stuff that when it became, you know, it was J.C.R. Licklider, DARPA psychologist in the 1960s who proposed the Intergalactic Computer Network.
They shortened it up to internet.
Then in the 1990s, when it became practical because of increased speeds in switching circuitry, The NSA, CIA got very actively involved in these venture capital firms.
The CIA even created, openly created one, In-Q-Tel, to pick the competitors just as they pick the competing politicians for your elections.
They picked the tech people and the companies that were going to compete to take control of everything.
And they funded them so they could do all this stuff for free for you for a long time.
And then they, after the rope-a-dope of that, they pulled everything in and closed the gates on this walled city.
It doesn't seem to have any historical perspective of that.
And so, but let's just assume that all of this is genuine.
If he goes through this, he goes, look at all the many different ways that he's being attacked, the many different directions he's being attacked.
Let's just assume that all this stuff is genuine.
Even if he was genuine in this, even if he is sincere and he's going to fight these guys and he's going to use his fortune as the world's richest man to fight these people, would you follow a transhumanist?
Would you follow a technocrat?
Would you follow somebody that dresses up in a Baphomet costume even though it was for Halloween?
He made it his thumbnail picture.
He's proud of that. Would you follow somebody who wants to put chips in your brain?
Who tells you that you're going to have to merge with machines as a cyborg if you're going to survive?
Would you follow somebody like that?
For me, that's a hard no.
And I hope you have the discernment that it's a hard no with you as well.
But he goes on, all the many different trials and suffering of Elon Musk.
The FTC has demanded internal documents.
The Biden Department of Justice has sued SpaceX because they didn't hire aliens.
Not the kind you're talking about.
Unidentified foreign welfare objects.
No, you've got to hire these people from outside the country.
I look at all this stuff and it's like, yeah, but can the military industrial complex launch their own satellites or do they need as a company?
They need his company. Is this a bunch of professional wrestling that's going on?
Yes, it is. And then look at what they did.
The Department of Justice coming after Tesla over self-driving cars.
This is an inquiry. And they've been handling Tesla's self-driving problems with kid gloves for a long time.
And, you know, Eric Peters and I have been talking about this for a long time.
Contrasting what would happen with these self-driving car accidents, contrasting that to the way they came after Ford over the Pinto.
Or the way they came after Takata over the airbags.
But especially the way they came after Volkswagen over their super-efficient diesels and the quote-unquote emission scandals where nobody was killed.
A few people died with the Pintos.
You had about 20 people, I think, have died with the Takata airbags worldwide.
You had more people killed with the Tesla self-driving incidents, but they've not shut it down.
They've not stopped it. Contrast that to what happens when somebody's got a defective baby crib or something like that.
They take it off the market immediately.
He's not getting that kind of scrutiny.
That should tell you something right there.
And then he says, and finally we got the advertising boycott that's being done by the big corporations.
Who are his competitors?
Look, these guys are in a Game of Thrones.
That's like saying, you know, look at this, the Democrats don't like this Republican.
Oh, really? Wow, we would have never guessed that.
He says, so there's fully nine different direct lines of attack against his hero, Elon Musk.
But probably the company Elon could list another several dozen, like cases, once you consider all the different levels of government everywhere, Musk's companies are operating, and yes, it all sounds like something straight out of a novel by Ayn Rand.
And yes, it does.
And I think this is what blinds a lot of libertarians.
A lot of libertarians, free market people, it's what blinds them to this.
This is like Ayn Rand.
And, you know, Reason and Cato Institute, you know, Reason Magazine or Reason, I guess, I don't know if they have a magazine or more, I guess it's just Reason.com.
And Cato Institute, the think tank, they accepted social media censorship.
They said it over and over again.
John Stossel, and I like a lot of stuff that John Stossel does, but he was absolutely clueless about what was going on with censorship.
He said, this is the big companies, and yes, they're punishing me, they don't like my content, but I have to support their freedom to do this.
It's like, no, you don't. This is not like free speech, where if they criticize you, you know, well, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never cause me to come after the First Amendment.
That type of thing.
No, this is very different.
This is actually coming from the government.
And Reason and Cato and John Stossel, these guys could not understand that.
Why? Because of this Randian worship of corporations.
The corporations can do no evil.
Only government can do evil.
It's exactly the flip side of the Democrats.
The Democrats say government can do no evil, corporations can do nothing right.
Libertarians will say that government can do nothing right and corporations can do no evil.
What both of them miss is that corporations and government are both evil and they're both united.
And they're both united in this censorship stuff.
These big multinational corporations.
They're a partner, right?
Where does the snake begin and where does it end?
They were doing exactly what the government wanted, but they couldn't see it because they've got this Ayn Rand worldview that sees corporations as virtuous, that even sees greed as a virtue, because greed will get you to offer people, to get you to work harder, to beat people, to beat your competitors, that type of thing.
So we're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to finish with the rest of this technocratic vision that is here.
And because I think we need to understand where this is coming from, we're going to talk about some new technology that actually incorporates real Tesla technology, not Elon Musk's company, but Nikolai Tesla.
A new way of doing a power grid that I think is going to allow them to keep things going when they take the rest of the grid down for us.
That's the big play.
Putting everybody on the power grid, putting everybody on the net, and then pulling the rug out from under us to collapse the society.
But they're already working on how they're going to keep themselves going.
So, before we take a break, I'll read a couple of comments.
A rock fan, a Syrian girl, said, if these billionaires are smart, they'd pack all the humans into space stations or send us to Mars so they can inherit the beautiful blue marble for themselves alone.
Who wants to go to Mars?
Yeah, that's what I think may happen with these space stations.
They may be the ultimate smart city, the ultimate 15-minute city.
On Rumble, Militin Milankovic said, thank you for the tip.
He says, hope you're feeling well, DK. Many prayers.
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
On Rumble, Nick Ellenbecker, what is the draw of living in space?
It looks like a terrible place to be.
That's what I think.
I always found this to be an interesting technological situation, but I never, ever had any desire to live in any of these places.
And I'm not so sure that Jeff Bezos does either, to be honest with you.
I think he would like to build him, and I think he'd like to put you there.

I'm delighted to present something born from my love for music and the Christmas season.
Christmas night is a perfect accompaniment for anything from family gatherings to moments of peaceful reflection.
I hope is to provide a fresh take to the soundtrack of Christmas.
This collection of 20 instrumental songs brings new life to timeless Christmas classics.
The End with original orchestrations alongside lesser-known yet equally enchanting carols.
For the listeners of The David Knight Show, this is more than music. this is more than music.
It's part of our shared journey.
Christmas Night is available at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
May it bring a little extra joy and peace to your Christmas season.
Thank you for your unwavering support and for joining me in this new musical adventure.
Music Merry Christmas to all and to all a good Christmas night.
Alright, and as we're talking about the album there, let me just mention to people how this works.
Some people have been a little bit confused about it.
It is downloadable.
At the very beginning, one person bought two and thought it was a CD that we're putting out.
We don't have a CD this year.
So what happens is if you buy this, we send you a link to a WeTransfer or Compress file.
And so when you click on that link, It'll say, do you want to download this?
And you tell it where on your computer you want to download it.
And then after you've downloaded it, go to that location, double-click on it, and it will unpack that, it'll decompress that, and you'll wind up with the file, the album there, that you can then, you know, listen to, click on it, play it, put it into your music app, whatever you want to do with it. And so I just want to let people know how that operates, because there's been some questions about that.
We had another person who bought multiple ones, and we contacted him also, and he says, no, I just wanted to send more money, so I appreciate that.
But also, on Bandcamp, We had a friend who purchased it on Bandcamp and he said it took his money but he didn't get it because he hadn't signed up and registered with Bandcamp.
They did refund his money there.
But you need to register with Bandcamp before you can buy it and download it.
Evidently, I've not gone through the process there, so I'm not really sure how that works.
But just make sure that you register with them before you purchase anything.
But we do want to thank everybody who has kindly purchased this and hope you enjoy it for the holidays.
Let's get back, though, to what is happening because a lot of this, it really does boil down to the speech stuff.
That is the essence of what is happening.
And it is the essence also of what they want to do in terms of the mind war that they're playing with people.
And so when we look at the aftermath of bringing back Alex Jones, people constantly ask, what do you think about Alex Jones being on?
It's like, Fine.
Well, I'll tell you what I think. I think that it is pretty much wine press.
Their opinion of it was it was a PSYOP. And Alex Jones, reinstated on X, has a conversation with Musk about the technocracy.
And to describe the events, she referred to an article from Trends Journal.
I don't think they called it a PSYOP. But as they described the space, and it was a spaces thing, you know, which is, you get on Twitter and it's like a big conference call.
And so it was a big group of people.
And Musk and Jones and Mark Dice and Laura Loomer and Rama Swami and General Flynn.
Had everybody but Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates there, basically.
And as they were talking about the future course of humanity...
Musk and Jones are very much on the same page with all this stuff.
We're going to go to the stars.
It's the destiny of mankind.
How many times have we heard that, Travis?
No, no, that's not the destiny of mankind.
The destiny of mankind is to live with God, right?
And he put us here on this earth to have dominion over this earth.
I'm not saying that it's evil to go to the stars, but that's not my desire.
And I don't see that as a goal for us in the Bible, that we are to join the prince of the air.
That's kind of Satan's territory right now.
Things are going to change. But, you know, it's not something that I ever had a desire to do, I've got to say.
But it's also all this to the stars stuff and the core of humanity.
It really is based on kind of a new age thing.
A mixture with elements of Christianity.
That's really the theology that you're getting there from Alex.
It's really kind of this new age stuff.
A lot of that in there.
A lot of, you know, just think and you can do this.
Technocracy emerged as a central subject of the discussion.
Musk strongly advocated what he termed as a pro-human future.
Based on population growth and a quest to explore and eventually colonize nearby planets.
He rejected the notion that degrowth policies and restrictions on human freedom were necessary to save the planet.
He said the simplest thing people could and should do to support civilization is to commit to having children.
Okay, so when he supports free speech, presumably, and he supports having children, well, this guy must be on our side.
Well, there's a lot of different aspects of this, as I said before.
To what purpose does he want you to have children?
Is it for his purposes, or is it for your purposes?
Are his purposes to glorify himself?
To even to glorify mankind?
You know, that's a Tower of Babel approach.
That's the approach of transhumanism, is really that of the Tower of Babel.
Or is this purpose to glorify God?
I don't think so.
As a matter of fact, if you really want to know what the technocracy is about, as I've said many times, the early to mid-30s, you had H.G. Wells wrote a book, science fiction book, called The Shape of Things to Come.
They made it into a movie in the mid-1930s, 1935, 1936, sometime around that.
It's all, you know, in the lead-up to World War II. A lot of people could kind of see World War II coming.
But the way that they set this thing up, they posited a massive world war.
And then the people who would bring it out of it would be the technocrats with their superior technology.
And they would enforce, with an iron rule, peace on this earth with their superior technology.
So they made it into a movie called Things to Come.
Raymond Massey was in it and some other famous actors in it.
And it was something that really caught fire at the time.
And it was very much akin, a lot of the same people involved in transhumanism were involved in the eugenics movement.
As a matter of fact, you know, people like Aldous Huxley, people like H.G. Wells and everything, and it was Julian Huxley, Aldous' brother, who coined the term.
Transhumanism. And it was all about this eugenics, about a superior race, about people who had superior technology and they could and should rule the rest of us on that basis.
It was a very different vision than the vision that founded America.
That we are all creatures of God.
And that we all deserve to be respected and that we all have inherent rights in the fact that we are created by God.
That was a vision that glorified God, that put God in his place.
This is a vision that puts man in the place of God.
That's what transhumanism is.
Transhumanism, eugenics, and technocracy are all intertwined with all these sci-fi writers.
And it was in the 1930s as all this stuff was coming out.
That Elon Musk's grandfather, Joshua Haldane, tried to overthrow the government in Canada, remove the democracy and elections, and establish the technocracy.
They brought him up on criminal charges.
He beat the criminal charges, and then he went to South Africa.
And that's why Elon Musk is coming from there.
But if you look at this speech by the technocrat, Played by Raymond Massey.
He's the leader of the technocrats who've taken over the world.
And this is at the very end of the film.
And in it, he's really giving his vision of, as Alex would say, going to the stars.
There's all the levers and the dials of technocracy.
The big iron machines that they had at that time.
And they're going to shoot somebody to the moon.
There they go. Big cannon is the way they envisioned it.
H.G. Wells and some of these early science fiction writers.
He's going to start talking in a moment here.
here.
I should have shortened this up.
I wanted you to see some of the pictures there.
There.
There they go.
Yeah.
I can see them.
That beam of light. I feel that what we've done is monstrous.
What they've done is magnificent.
Will they come back? Yes, and go again and again.
Till the landing is made and the moon is conquered.
This is only a beginning.
But if they don't come back, my son and your daughter, what about Cabal?
Then, presently, others will go.
Oh, God, is there never to be any age of happiness?
Is there never to be any rest?
Rest enough for the individual man.
Too much and too soon.
And we call it death. But for man, no rest and no ending.
He must go on. Conquest beyond conquest.
First this little planet and its winds and waves.
And then all the laws of mind and matter that restrain him.
Then the planets about him.
And at last, out across immensity to the stars.
And when he has conquered all the deeps of space and all the mysteries of time, still he will be beginning.
But we're such little creatures.
Why are humanity so fragile, so weak?
Little, little animals.
Little animals.
And if we're no more than animals, we must snatch each little scrap of happiness and live and suffer and pass, mattering no more than all the other animals do or have done.
It is this or that.
All the universe saw nothings.
Which shall it be, Rosemary?
And he looks up into the stars.
He takes that pose that you always see in these people.
Okay, you get the idea, okay?
We're not mere animals.
We're human beings, and as human beings, we can become God.
And that is persistent throughout all this stuff.
All these transhumanists believe that they're going to become like God.
They're going to merge with machines.
They're going to live forever. And they believe they are God.
That's the pride and ego of man on display there.
That is the essence of the transhumanist technocracy philosophy and worldview.
And quite frankly, it's satanic.
It is satanic.
It is antithetical. And I hope that's enough, regardless of what you think about Elon Musk's actions or motives with Twitter.
I hope that's enough that you don't admire this guy.
That you don't follow this guy.
Because he is lost.
He's lost in space, so to speak.
Warning, Will Robinson.
So, yeah, they want trillions of people to populate the stars, perhaps.
Because, yeah, we don't want these degrowth policies.
We want no restrictions on human freedom.
We're going to go to the stars, as Alex is always saying.
You know, it was interesting when he had a film contest shortly after I got there.
Some guy did a film talking about things to come.
And he said, you know, in things to come, they have a guy who is the antagonist to Raymond Massey's leader of the technocrats, and they call him the chief.
And he is all about his country.
And we're not going to be ruled by some globalist cabal.
And he dresses up in a fur coat, you know, to make him look like a caveman or something.
Well, these guys, in case you noticed, you know, they're walking around in short togas.
They look pretty ridiculous.
But, you know, trying to harken back to the Enlightenment of Greco-Roman culture or something like that, I guess, is the idea behind it.
But they look pretty ridiculous. So at least the chief was better dressed, even though they were trying to make him look crude and primitive.
But he was a populist.
He was a nationalist. He was opposed to these globalists.
And this guy did a little film documentary saying that Alex Jones was like the chief out of things to come.
It's like, no, actually, he talks just like that guy that you heard there.
So on the subject of technocracy, writes Winepress, and she's commenting on this, and this little conference call they had.
On the subject of technocracy, was the thinking completely clear-eyed?
No. Elon Musk is an uber-tech optimist, and both he and Alex Jones at one point contended that sophisticated technology like brain chips, AI, and presumably genetic bioengineering were tools.
And that any tool Could be used for good or for ill.
You think that? You really think that they're tools?
She says, AI is certainly not just a transformative technology of its time.
It's more analogous to an alien invasion.
If you look at genetic engineering, CRISPR is a tool.
A tool for what purpose?
I don't take the neutral position on technology anymore, quite frankly, because almost all technology is being funded and directed by evil people in our government, particularly people like DARPA. And so I don't think that they're going, they like to say, well, we're going to put these brain implants in and we're going to give sight to the blind and we're going to let the lame walk.
Well, they may actually...
Do that. I don't know.
And I guess at that point we fall down and worship them like they were gods.
But that's not really the purpose of this.
Just like these robots, the purpose is not really to help little old ladies cross the street.
It's really to keep you in line.
That other part of Elysium where they had the robot cops there.
That's what these robots are for.
You better understand the purpose of this.
You better understand how it's going to be used.
And if you want to understand how it's going to be used, you take a look at the people who are funding it.
And there are policies on it.
You know, we may be able to use the internet and aspects of it.
We may be able to take these tools and turn it against the people who set it up, but it's always been designed as a means of mind control from its very inception.
And so, you know, we use some of those tools, but we also understand the danger of all this.
And when you look at things like CRISPR, for example, Is genetic modification really something that is value-neutral?
CRISPR is a tool. It's value-neutral.
But what is the purpose of that tool?
And what is the purpose of genetic modification?
Many people look at this and say, just like in the days of Noah, that we started seeing some things happen.
There's some people who think that.
But technological optimism.
It's really about scientism.
And scientism is about the worship of man, about the worship of a technological elite, not about the worship of God, just as you saw there in Things to Come.
And it's got a real flavor of Friedrich Nietzsche in it, and Uber Minsk, and all the rest of this stuff.
Quite frankly, I am antithetical to all this stuff.
Those involved in the debate certainly conveyed heartfelt and heartening pro-human sentiments, she said.
Well, you know what? I know some of these people.
The writer here at Wine Press doesn't.
I know some of these people. And don't be fooled by this.
Don't be fooled by the Reawaken America tour either.
A lot of these same people there.
You know, Flynn is out there going to Christian churches, presumably drawing on Christians and having them repeat after me These pagan prayers to ascended masters that were written 40 years ago by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, they're deceivers.
They truly are.
And they will misdirect you.
They'll put a thin veneer of Christianity on it, a thin veneer of liberty on it, or of technology that's just a tool.
But this is where these people are coming from.
You don't have to dig down too far before you see the occultic stuff here.
There's little doubt that Musk is likely to see a ramp up of regulatory scrutiny and lawfare attacks on his businesses as a result of his stance, she said.
Well, again, as I said from the very beginning, he's not an altruistic billionaire.
Even though Alex is constantly looking for a billionaire to suck up to.
He's always sycophant to these billionaires.
Trying to portray them as our saviors.
Trying to portray them as self-sacrificing.
But of course, that's because he's for sale.
And that's been the basis of this this entire time.
And she does go on to have some harsh words for Alex.
She says, as for Alex Jones, he's one of the greatest textbook examples of what controlled opposition and being an asset of the state looks like.
Jones is just an agent in disguise.
He tells some truth.
He's allowed to divulge some truth bombs every once in a while.
But they keep him in business.
That's my comment. He constantly flip-flops.
He endorses blatantly obvious things in people that go against his supposed patriotism and his supposed fighting the new world order and his supposed Christianity.
Have you ever noticed how every time we hear about some guy or gal being the most censored, the exact opposite is true, and he or she is constantly shoved down our throats from mainstream media to alternative media, on podcasts and more?
Alex is a prime example of this.
As I said before, even if he were sincere, you've got to see through all the antics.
The antics that are designed to make the truth sound like a joke.
To make the truth sound unbelievable.
And so...
So more recently, he's released a 2D platform video game where you get to play him as he fights a deep state with a gun in his hand, vanquishing foes like Soros, Schwab, Zuckerman, and more, aided by his friends and allies like Trump, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and more.
It's a big parody that makes fun of some of the stuff that he's said through the years and again reveals who's in the club, like Carlson.
Who people somehow think is another good guy.
And of course, you know, it wasn't that long ago.
It was the last election cycle that we had Kanye West running and we had Tucker Carlson holding him up as the most popular evangelist in the country.
Evangelist for who?
For Satan?
An evangelist of addiction?
Addiction to sex?
To fame to money? Is that what Kanye was about?
And so, it's not just the MAGA bird media.
They're going to go direct with artificial intelligence, because this really is a mind war.
And it is about getting people to understand what the truth is.
It's a massive deception campaign that's going on right now.
And it's about to escalate. Here is a company, a news station, That has announced it's going to be out of LA, California.
The startup is called Channel One.
They're going to launch in this February.
And they're going to be on a lot of different streaming platforms.
And they're going to be 100% AI. I mean, why hire humans and have them go on camera and read teleprompter scripts that you write for them?
And we've all seen the videos of, you know, the big Clear Channel, I think, those kind of conservative stuff, and how everybody is repeating the same thing as a local newscaster.
When they can just have you select the news that you want and the so-called fake personality to read it to you, and they can read it to you in any language.
Here's an example. Hello, and welcome to Channel One, a new way of consuming, reporting, and thinking about the news powered by artificial intelligence.
Today, you'll witness AI-generated stories and headlines, captivating visuals and data-driven insights.
From global news to finance to entertainment, we'll show you how technology enables us to bring you a global perspective 24-7, right from the heart of our AI native newsroom.
All presented by our team of AI-generated reporters.
Maybe you hear the words artificial intelligence and you're immediately skeptical or concerned about technology gone crazy.
But everything you'll see on Channel 1 relies on trusted sources and fact-checking and uses AI to give you news the way you want it.
Personalized, localized, and distilled.
Personalized, localized, and distilled.
Take all that untruthy stuff out of there.
You know, when you look at that, they did a pretty good job.
Those people look very, very realistic.
Even to the extent that I kept going back and forth through their video, because it's fairly long, several minutes, trying to figure out, you know, who the real people were.
Well, I didn't think there were any real people.
That black guy that you saw there talking to you, you know, and he does this thing with his fingers, and he's got five fingers, not six.
But, you know, he's sitting there talking to you, and later on in the video, he just starts rambling off.
Somebody sucks a language, and he starts rambling off in, like, Mandarin or something like that.
So it's like, whoa. So that is definitely machine-driven.
They said, today you'll witness AI-generated stories and headlines, captivating visuals, data-driven insights.
And they're going to distill all of this for you, and it's going to be exactly what you want to hear.
And isn't that the way we've been operating the news media for quite some time?
You tune in to CNN or to Fox or to Infowars or to Tucker to get what you want to hear.
And these people are tailoring their news to a demographic.
And one of the reasons why Trump is so popular is because everybody knows, well, I know that's what they want to hear.
They either want to hear criticism of Trump or they want to hear praise of Trump, and so they focus on Trump.
And so he's been a key part of the focus, but they're going to be able to Just as they set up the internet to be able to look at you and make assessments about what you think politically and religiously and many other ways.
And then to look and see how their narrative is being accepted by people like you or other people of other demographics.
That's the same thing they're going to do.
You're going to be able to say, I want this type of person to read this type of news to me.
Which is what we've been awkwardly trying to approximate.
And I don't think people are really going to care about whether or not it's true.
Do they care about whether it's true or not when they listen to CNN or Fox today?
Or to Tucker? Do they really care?
They want confirmation of their bias.
Maybe you hear the words artificial intelligence, you're going to immediately be skeptical or concerned about the technology they say.
This is one of the AI bots explaining to you why you can trust him.
Trust no one, especially artificial people.
But everything you will see on Channel 1 relies on trusted sources and gives you the personalized, localized, and distilled news.
That's the one that we just saw there.
So they can speak a lot of different languages.
Another bot in the promo said Channel 1 is not fake news and doesn't make up stories out of thin air that are not true, but they rely on trusted, verified sources to curate the content.
This is closing the loop in another way.
On social media. Again, going from newspapers to control people to radio to TV, always getting more effective, more visceral, more dynamic.
These people will be able to do that as well.
But then you get into social media, and they don't have to take these opinion polls that are not too accurate.
They can look at the opinion of everybody and see whether or not their narrative is working, and they can fine-tune that for people.
And that's what these bots will do for you personally.
We have trusted, verified sources, and we curate content.
Is that what you want? Something that station owners don't want said?
Well, that's not going to happen with the artificial intelligence.
You're not going to have one of these bots step up and say, don't go to January the 6th, it's a trap!
Not going to happen there.
Basically, these days, everything has sort of become personalized, said one of the bots.
Whether it is Spotify, learning what you want to hear, and recommending songs that maybe you didn't know about, but that you'd be interested in, or TikTok and these other personalized algorithms, that's something we don't really see in news yet, they said.
No, I think you do see that a lot.
As a matter of fact, I think, you know, when I read that, I thought, yeah, you know, I remember years and years ago when Netflix was still a disc service, After we had sold our business, we'd occasionally rent movies.
And it got to the point where it thought that it knew what I wanted to see.
And it didn't. But then I realized that it wasn't just bad algorithms.
They had something that they wanted to push on me for whatever their reasons were.
Whether they'd made a deal with some studio to push this particular movie or not.
They kept pushing these movies that I really didn't want to see.
A lot of them that were antithetical to anything that I'd ever want to see.
Very offensive to me.
And I kept saying, no, I don't want to see this.
I'm not interested. And then they kept pushing it and pushing it and pushing it.
I think it'll be something like that, quite frankly.
And I think maybe, you know, Spotify thinking that it knows what you want.
I think that's maybe one of the reasons why you're not seeing new music is because they keep pushing you the same old stuff or the things that they've made some kind of an economic deal with.
So, while we're talking about the games briefly, just to take a look at where this stuff is truly headed and how creepy it is, take a look at, this happened back on December the 7th, and this was in Vegas at a big gaming award convention.
Actually, sorry, not Vegas, it was in LA. And They put up, and you've got people taking video of this.
We muted it because they're swearing up and down.
But these are people walking along, and there's this 3D hologram that's out there.
And people say, whoa, look at this.
This is unbelievable. You know, look at how realistic it is.
And a lot of these videos, you may have seen them already, because this is almost, that's about three weeks old, I guess.
And so a lot of people put this stuff up, and they could not believe just how...
Realistic that was. That's a video footage shot on a phone with the people there and their reactions.
But here is the little promo that was put together by the company that actually did it to promote their game, Asgard's Wrath.
So they have this demonic thing and this portal opens up in the sky.
Steps back and then it reaches out to the portal.
And so you see this type of thing, and they have a great deal of ability to deceive, don't they?
Of course, everybody talks about Project Bluebeam when they look at something like this.
But Project Bluebeam, even though it is very visceral, is it really more powerful in terms of its deception than the Operation Mockingbird mainstream media?
Hmm. Or the Operation MAGA Bird mainstream alternative media.
Look at you mortals.
Yeah. Come and defy me.
If you dare.
Yeah, so what is real?
What is real and what isn't?
Gonna take some discernment, isn't it?
We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles...
The Cars. And Huey Lewis and the News.

And now, The David Knight Show. . .
Well, I said earlier in the program, there's some new technology.
It's sent to me by a listener.
This is a Raytheon contract with DARPA. And this contract is to actually build a wireless energy web.
It's like, oh, I've seen this before.
So I said at the beginning of the program, this is the real Tesla technology.
As in Nikolai Tesla.
Raytheon has been given the go-ahead to flesh out this energy web for DARPA. They have an acronym for it.
They call it a persistent optical wireless energy relay.
Guess what that spells?
Power. Power.
Yeah. So if these people take down the grid and a false flag, or if some other enemy takes down the grid, Well, your government will still have power.
Isn't that nice? Isn't that reassuring to know that they can take everything down?
Isn't it reassuring to know that since they demand that we put everything, whether you're talking about they now want to arrest people in the state of Washington if they're using gasoline leaf blowers and things like that, or a lawnmower, well, that needs to be a crime that we can arrest you for.
They want everything electric.
Heating, your cooking, your transportation, everything must be electric.
It must be on their grid, even as these people are destroying the grid.
But if they were to pull it down suddenly, They're going to be fine.
They're going to have their own energy web, and they can beam this in different places.
Now, this is a DARPA contract for $10 million.
I know that doesn't sound like a lot of money in the overall scheme of the Pentagon, but it's interesting to me that that's exactly the same amount of money that DARPA, and it's coming from DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, So the mad scientists at DARPA giving them $10 million to develop their wireless energy grid.
And the DARPA people already gave a $10 million contract to Election Guard.
Election Guard. The people are going to guard the integrity of our election.
And so, I find that to be very interesting, that these two contracts are about the same size.
And both ElectionGuard, they had one contract, and that was with DARPA, for $10 million.
That's what got them started. And of course, both of these, both ElectionGuard and NewsGuard, are under Microsoft.
And for the same purpose.
To lie, cheat, and steal.
To lie to you about what is news and to cheat and steal with the elections.
And so now this power thing that they've got, the Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay Program, it's going to be an airborne wireless internet for energy.
The system will be designed to deliver energy to U.S. military assets in war zones and in other contested environments.
Wait a minute. You got contested environments other than war zones?
What would that mean? Is that like domestic?
You know, when they turn off the power?
A contested environment?
Anyway, it's Raytheon, which, of course, is where Lloyd Austin hung out for quite a period of time, hung out there so long that they had to waive the rules and regulations for him to come back into the government and to be made Secretary of Defense.
We'll develop the airborne relay designed to create webs.
These webs will be capable of harvesting, transmitting, and redirecting optical beams to transmit energy from ground sources to high altitudes.
This will allow for precision and long-range operation of unmanned systems, sensors, and effectors.
Harvesting energy in this way will ultimately reduce the military's dependence on fuel and the need for its delivery and storage.
And so, you know, they still have to have something to power it somewhere.
Are they going to set up coal power plants to do this?
Nuclear power plants? What are they going to do to do this?
But again, it's more about centralized control of power.
Because if you want political power, political power comes out of the barrel of a gun, but it also comes out of a barrel of oil, too.
So, this is a real Tesla technology.
If you remember... The story of Nikolai Tesla.
One of the reasons that we have AC instead of DC is because he understood that AC was going to have less losses in its transmission.
So you have these transformers, you know, the basic...
Basic relationship in electricity is that your power loss is the amount of current that flows through.
It's dependent on the voltage and the resistance and that type of thing.
So you've got to, given resistance of these wires, by stepping up the voltage really high, you can transmit AC over these power lines.
And there's a big war between, and there's a movie even made about it, The war between Tesla and Edison's company.
And Edison had GE and Tesla had aligned himself with the money of Westinghouse, I think it was.
Is that right, Travis? I'm going by memory now.
It's been a while since I saw the movie.
But anyway, you know, there's a big war between them, and Edison played all kinds of games about how dangerous AC was compared to DC. He was scaring everybody, saying you're going to get electrocuted, you know, with alternating current.
You're not going to be able to let go.
It's going to, you know, make you—and there is some truth in that.
But he did things like electrocuting an elephant and things like that to scare people about AC. But the reality is that's one of the reasons why we can transmit electricity over long reaches is because they do it with AC and use transformers to step the voltage up to really high level to minimize the current, to minimize the power losses on the line.
Now, Tesla didn't stop with that.
Tesla built what you may remember.
It's the Wardenclyffe Towers on Long Island.
He did it back in 1901.
Yeah, so 122 years ago.
He did exactly now what Raytheon wants to do, or at least he was trying to accomplish it.
In theory, he had it worked out in practice.
He didn't quite achieve it.
What he was planning to do was to beam energy, electricity, across the Atlantic Ocean from Long Island to England.
So he set up this big tower on Long Island.
JP Morgan was his financial backer and shut him down.
He got into a spat with JP Morgan as well.
So he was fighting Edison.
He's fighting JP Morgan.
Morgan shut him down.
They eventually sold off the tower and took it down for scrap in 1917.
So it's not there.
In recent years, people tried to rebuild it as a historical thing, and I don't know how far they got along with that.
But I suspect that it wasn't so much about this as it was about the fact that Tesla wanted to try to get free energy out of the atmosphere.
Now, they're not saying that that is a part of this particular thing, but we do know that when Tesla died, you had the military go in and grab all of his paperwork and comb through it.
So maybe they've now found something that they could get to work.
And as this is also happening, is they're going to have this wireless energy grid, if you will, A web, they call it.
So that they can take down the energy grid.
They're putting us all on their centrally controlled, wired electric grid, even as they're shutting down all the power generation stations.
And they're putting us on renewables, which are not reliable.
They're intermittent. They're going to make sure they've got a reliable power source.
And they want to make sure they've got a power source that is independent of the one that they're forcing us onto.
Something to think about. So Amazon, at the same time, has got these Kuiper satellites, they call them.
They have laser links for space internet network.
Optical inter-satellite links to transmit data through space.
It appears that they are also going to be transmitting it to the Earth.
I just don't understand. Again, I have a question about that, just like I did when I first saw the thing on Elysium.
It's like, wait, you can't have that thing open and keep the air there.
I don't know how exactly this works, because I remember the demonstrations we used to have with laser transmission of analog signals, for example.
And maybe it's a little bit better with digital.
Maybe it's more tolerant of disruption.
But I remember we had an audio signal on one side of the room and we transmitted, changed it into a modulated signal.
I don't remember if it was AM or FM. And transmitted it with a laser.
And so to demonstrate that that was what was happening, a professor would stick his hand there and, you know, block the laser beam and the sound went off.
And then he took some erasers that had chalk on them and he banged them together so the dust came down.
All of a sudden you start hearing all this static and everything.
And it must have been AM. It's more susceptible to static.
But anyway, you see all this dust coming down.
I just don't know how in the world you're going to be able to broadcast through water vapor and clouds and all the rest of the stuff from space to ground.
It does say it is inter-satellite link.
So maybe this is just... Within space, satellite to satellite.
They do say that the lasers travel faster in space than they do in terms of glass.
So this is actually faster than if they had a fiber optics network on Earth.
So they said, you know, light travels faster in space than it does through the glass.
So they plan to include laser links from the outset in the production of their commercial satellites.
The network is planned to consist of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit.
And they're going to invest up to $10 billion for that.
You know, Amazon's going to put up 3,200 satellites.
Musk is putting up for Starlink about 20,000 plus satellites.
Other companies want to put them up.
I think you're probably going to have to go to one of Elon Musk's orbiting space stations if you want to see any stars.
Otherwise, I think we can look up at the night sky.
All you're going to see is these satellites up there.
So they can constantly be beaming internet or something on us all the time.
And that is going to be the infrastructure of Tierney.
The smart 5G infrastructure of Tierney.
We'll be right back.

listening to The David Knight Show.
We've talked about the Great Reset.
We've talked about the Great Replacement and all these other things.
Well, there is a great taking that is about to come.
This is an article from Doug Casey's Substack.
And the person's writing about this book called The Great Taking, done by David Webb.
And he says if you go back and you look in his opinion, he believes that the Great Depression...
It was a well-executed plan to seize assets, to impoverish the population, to remake society, and what is coming next is even worse, he said.
Now, we stop and think about, you know, would they have done this?
Was America like that?
Wasn't America kinder and gentler back then?
Well, no, we had Woodrow Wilson, who used Edward Bernays to lie us into World War I. We had FDR... Who sacrificed the lives of all those soldiers and sailors at Pearl Harbor in order to get us into World War II. Yeah, they're capable of all kinds of skullduggery.
You see, the thing is that human nature really doesn't change.
Human nature wasn't any different in our leaders a century ago than it is now.
And so David Webb says the Great Depression, his view, was a setup.
He's a successful former investment banker, a hedge fund manager.
He has experience at the highest levels of the financial system, writes Matthew Smith, who's giving his take on the great taking.
And so he published this a few months ago.
And then he put together a video documentary about it as well.
It describes a roadmap to collapse the economic system, to suppress the people, to seize all of your assets.
And he's got a lot of receipts to prove it.
He says, you already own nothing.
He says, this is all part of what was initially began with the Great Depression and manipulations as to what they did with the Uniform Commercial Code, the UCC. The UCC, if you remember, when they started talking about CBDC,
and you had Christy Noem who said, well, they tried to change the UCC code to say that CBDC And Bitcoin would not be accepted.
No crypto would be accepted except for their new Fedcoin.
And, you know, she said they're trying to set this up, so be aware of this.
She said we vetoed this in South Dakota, but it's going around.
There's already been introduced into more than two dozen states.
Shortly after that, you had DeSantis do exactly the opposite.
They came up with their own change that was exactly flipped.
They said, well, we're going to say that a central bank digital currency is not going to be allowed, according to the UCC.
But we are going to allow Bitcoin and other things like that.
And so the Uniform Commercial Code is fundamental in terms of business.
And what David Webb was saying was that this has fundamentally changed.
He writes about how it was changed in his book back in the 1930s.
He said, it converted asset ownership into a security entitlement.
This quote-unquote entitlement designation made personal property merely a contractual claim.
The entitled person, as they would call us, is a beneficial owner, but not the legal one.
And if you think that they don't play these kind of games, they do, right?
They've played these kinds of games in terms of the way they've restructured our government and many other things, as many people will point out.
I mean, tax protesters will point out and other things like that.
But just take a look at what they pulled with Corbinati.
Okay, it is...
Legally approved, but legally distinctive.
Okay? So we're going to approve Corbinati, which is not available in the United States.
But it is, even though it's the same thing as the Pfizer-BioNTech, Corbinati is legally distinct.
Why would they do that? Well, they did that so that they could maintain their immunity while it was under emergency use authorization.
Okay? But still, mandate it.
And so they play these types of games.
You know, it's neither fish nor fowl.
We can say that it's approved, and we can mandate it, but it's still going to be under emergency use authorization, so it's going to be covered under the PREP Act.
They play those types of games.
That's a recent, obvious example.
But they do that type of thing all the time.
Playing with definitions.
In the same way, civil asset forfeiture is another one of these things.
Well, It's not a law.
You didn't violate the law, so you don't get any protection in terms of presumption of innocence, due process, protection against excessive fines.
We're going to say that this is a civil rule, because this is something that wasn't created by your elected representatives.
It was created by unelected bureaucrats.
And so they add this insult to We're good to go.
Is that they came up with this new designation calling assets an entitlement to try to strip you of any legal ownership.
In the same way that they're always trying to change rights into privileges.
Now they change ownership into something they call an entitlement.
In the event that a financial institution is insolvent, The legal owner is the entity, quote-unquote, that controls the security with a security interest.
In essence, client assets belong to the banks.
But it's much worse than that.
This isn't simply a matter of losing your cash to a bank bail-in.
The entire financial system has been wired for a controlled demolition.
Just like the buildings on 9-11.
And they're ready to pull the plug and collapse it in free fall and tell you something else happened.
Webb describes in detail how the trap was set, how the Great Depression provided the precedent.
In 1933, FDR declared a bank holiday.
He did it by executive order.
What do you mean, like Trump locked us down with executive orders and things like that?
Declared a pandemic, and then they were able to, that gave them the license to do whatever they wanted.
Well, FDR declared a bank holiday, which gave...
The government, the ability to do whatever it wanted, they closed the banks.
Later, only those that were approved by the Federal Reserve were allowed to open up.
Thousands of banks were left to die.
People who had money in those disfavored institutions lost all of it.
As well as anything that they had financed.
Houses, cars, businesses.
That they now could not pay for.
Then a few chosen banks consolidated all the assets in the system.
Are we set up like that as well?
What are these few chosen banks?
Well, you go back in the 1990s and you look at the Clinton administration who got rid of the Glass-Steagall.
That was an act that was put in to stop the banks from speculating on high-margin things.
Said, no, after what happened with the Depression, we're going to give everybody federal deposit insurance.
And because of that, we're going to tell you that you can't get involved in speculative investments, you know, like these collateralized real estate scams that caused this collapse.
But so they had Glass-Steagall.
So Clinton got rid of Glass-Steagall.
But I think equally important, if not more so important, it's not ever really talked about.
I noticed it because we were in North Carolina and I knew.
Who Erskine Bowles was.
He was somebody who had always been involved in the banking industry.
And so you had Nations Bank, which was headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Bank of America, which was headquartered in California.
And they wanted to merge.
And everybody was saying at the time, this cannot happen.
If that happens, we're going to wind up with just a few gigantic banks.
But Erskine Bowles was on the White House staff.
I believe he was chief of staff at the time.
And they approved it.
And that set off a wave of mergers that, within 10 years, less than 10 years, I think, they had the big financial collapse.
So they were allowed, by removing Glass-Steagall, they were allowed to set up these collateralized real estate investments that were way over-leveraged and phony.
And then you wound up with just a handful of the too-big-to-fail banks.
These are the same banks that are the chosen ones that will get the assets in the system.
And this is why these people are going to be the handmaids of the federal government in terms of pulling every trick in the book to institute CBDC. As David Webb shows, the cake has been baked for years, but this week came a sign that it is coming out of the oven.
Last Monday, Bloomberg admitted that measures taken to ostensibly protect the system, quote unquote, actually amplify the risk.
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, G20 leaders mandated all standardized over-the-counter derivatives be cleared through central counterparties.
So, those are CCP's, like the Chinese Communist Party.
Or the Coalition for Content Providence.
They just keep coming back to the CCP, don't they?
But this is about centralized counterparties.
You know, you hear Tony talk all the time.
He says, gold is unlike these currencies, these other instruments of stocks and things like that.
There's no counterparty risks if you own gold.
And he's absolutely right, by the way.
You know, davidknight.gold will take you to Tony Arterman's Weiswolf Gold.
As I lay out the trap, That they have set for people in this banking system.
And I've told you that in March of last year, Biden sent out four different objectives for all of the deep state, all of the swamp, which is, when we talk about the deep state, we talk about the swamp.
You're talking about the agencies that are under the executive branch.
And so all the bureaucracies reported in one of four areas.
The first area was to completely redesign the financial system.
Why would you do that?
Well, because they're going to collapse this one.
And then, of course, the rest of the stuff was how are they going to enforce their central bank digital currency?
And then how are they going to implement it?
And the fourth one was how they can sell it to people as saving us from the climate, MacGuffin.
And so... Again, counterparty risk.
Gold has no counterparty risk.
Neither does silver, these other things, and you can hold it yourself.
Anyway, before 2012, the OTC derivative trades were bilateral.
That's over-the-counter. And the counterparty risk was managed by the parties to a transaction.
So when doing business directly with other firms, each one of them had to make sure they were dealing with reliable parties.
This is what It was part of the Trump trial in Washington, in New York.
You know, did Deutsche Bank and these other, I think it was Deutsche Bank, these other banks, did they know who they were dealing with?
Did Trump defraud them somehow?
And usually if there's a situation like that where there's a question if there was fraud, that's usually done.
By the party that was defrauded.
So, I mean, if Trump had given them this stuff fraudulently, then you would think that Deutsche Bank would have sued him in court, but they didn't, right?
Instead, the New York Attorney General who's politicized is suing him, which, in a sense, she doesn't really have standing in all this, I don't think.
Anyway, that's a side issue.
But just to bring up the part that when you have these These counterparty risks that were usually risks that were people who were parties to this transaction.
But they changed all that.
Previously, when doing business directly with other firms, you had to make sure you were dealing with reliable parties.
If they had a bad reputation, if they were somebody like Trump or...
They weren't creditworthy.
If they declared bankruptcy half-dozen times with casinos, you might be worried about this.
Counterparties could consider them to be toxic and could shut them out of trades.
But this, according to the G20, was too risky.
And so, with the introduction of central clearing mandates, counterparty risk was shifted away from the people who were actually involved in this transaction to some...
Large system as a third party.
So they took the risk away from the firms that were actually doing the deal to the system itself.
Credit worthiness, reputation were replaced with collateral and complex models.
How could possibly go wrong?
It's kind of like what they do with CBDC, for example.
You know, we talk about CBDC versus crypto.
Crypto, like Bitcoin, is based on proof of work.
They want to get rid of that. They want to say, no, we're going to go with CBDC, which is going to be proof of stake.
In other words, this is good because of who I am.
Because of my power as the government or whatever, I'm going to validate this thing.
Not a good shift. And especially when you look at all this, you see over and over again, I don't know if this is directly a part of Elizabeth Warren's quote-unquote reforms, but everything that Elizabeth Warren has been doing, this big opponent to crypto and many other things, everything that Elizabeth Warren does enables these few banks that are too big to fail.
And it punishes small and medium-sized banks.
And she does it in the name of protecting consumers, and yet consumers are getting punished in all this because they don't have anybody to deal with except this oligarchy of too-big-to-fail banks.
And so when you look at this, this idea that Well, we've got a risk here, and we've got to make this whole thing safer.
How do we make it safer? We make it safer by making sure that you don't do business with anybody except the government and their trusted co-conspirators.
This looks like Elizabeth Warren all over it, but I didn't have time to look to see if she was actually a part of this deal that's been described by David Webb.
He goes on to say brokers, bankers, asset managers, hedge funds, corporations, insurance companies, other so-called clearing parties participate in the market now by first posting collateral in the form of what they call initial other so-called clearing parties participate in the market now by first posting collateral in the
So it's through this initial margin and a separate, much smaller default fund held at the CCP that counterparty risk is managed.
This has all the hallmarks.
I mean, this doesn't pass the sniff test.
When you start seeing these people create these new structures, it's just like what they did with the collateralized loans and everything with the big financial housing crisis that they manufactured.
When they start creating these complicated structures, You look at this, and it's like, this is really complicated, you know?
You've got the default fund, you've got the initial margin, you've got the central counterparties organization, and other things, and they're all set up.
What they're doing is they're creating an elaborate shell game.
It really is like a shell game.
This is a recipe for trouble, but as explained in a recent report from the Bank of International Settlements, it's worse than that.
The structure of the CCPs themselves can cause margin spirals and wrong way risk in the case of market turbulence.
In a flight to safety situation where everybody starts to panic, the CCPs will hike the margin requirements.
And according to the Bank of International Settlements, they said, well, sudden and large IM hikes, initial margin hikes, are going to force deleveraging by derivative counterparties and can precipitate fire sales that lead to higher are going to force deleveraging by derivative counterparties and can precipitate fire sales that lead to higher volatility and to additional Now, this creates a feedback loop that's going to spiral out of control.
He said, we've already had a taste of what this can look like.
Similar margin spirals occurred in early 2020 with the Trump COVID scam.
And in 2022, with the Biden invasion, response to the invasion of Ukraine.
And they reflected the sensitive nature of IM models to risk.
But then there's another area of systematic risk.
And that is the dual use of government bonds as both collateral and as underlying assets in these derivative contracts.
Again, whenever you look at these derivatives, that's what the collateralized loans were and everything else.
Elaborate shell game. And this has got two risks.
One of them, and both of them, result in kind of a feedback spiral that gets out of control, according to the Bank of International Settlements.
So if you have government bonds as both collateral...
And as the underlying assets and derivative contracts, volatility in that market can lead to demand for more collateral underlying the derivatives market precisely when the government bond prices are declining.
And so falling bond prices erode the value of the existing initial margin.
Collateral demands skyrocket just as the value of the current and would-be collateral is evaporating.
Again, if you go back to the Bank of International Settlements, he said they say the wrong way risk dynamics appear to play a role in the 2010 to 2011 Irish sovereign debt crisis.
These are not theoretical situations.
In other words, they've already happened.
At that time, investors liquidated their positions in Irish government bonds after a CCP counterparty raised the haircuts, the haircuts.
Confiscation on those things.
On such bonds when used as collateral.
This led to lower prices of Irish government bonds triggering further haircuts, further position closures, and ultimately a downward price spiral.
Webb says the Bank of International Settlements doesn't admit it, but the CCPs themselves are deliberately undercapitalized and designed to fail.
In the same way that our electric grid Is being destroyed while everything is being put on it.
Do you understand what they're doing? Everywhere we look, these people are sabotaging every aspect of us, from physical infrastructure to financial infrastructure.
Everything is being sabotaged.
They're ready to pull the plug and collapse it all.
You better prepare. The startup of the new CCP is planned and pre-funded, and when that happens, it'll be the secured creditor, so it'll take control of all of the underlying collateral.
The Bank of International Settlement says to mutualize potential default losses, CCP's also require their members to contribute to a default fund.
As a result, the CCP's are in command of large pools of assets.
The large pools of assets are the full universe of traded security.
So in a market collapse, the stocks and bonds that you think you own will be sucked up into this default fund as additional collateral for the evaporating value of the complex derivatives.
This is what David Webb means by the great taking.
They built a house of cards that is pre-wired for demolition of the entire financial system, stocks and bonds and all these financial assets, that they now have come up with this legal prevarication that you don't own.

He says, the fact that the Republican-controlled Congress helped Bill Clinton get NAFTA passed and the Glass-Steagall Act deregulated while they were impeaching him demonstrates that both parties shill for each other.
That's right. Do you care more about the fact that they engineered a massive economic collapse of the banking system 10 years later?
Or do you care more about his consensual affair with Monica Lewinsky that he committed perjury about?
Because all the other crimes that he did, he and Hillary, all their graft and corruption, as I said yesterday, they all knew and were writing about it.
The left stream media was all writing about the Joe Biden crime family and how they were using influence to make a lot of money.
They were all writing about that.
They were all writing about that in 2018 and 2019.
They're going back and pulling up those stories now.
They don't want to have him as the nominee, but they always knew about that.
And the Republicans are going to focus on that for the election.
Rather than focusing on what he was doing to us with the mandates, and with the mandates even telling us we're not going to have ceiling fans.
The ceiling fans all have to be redesigned.
You know, these same people want to shut down your air conditioning.
They want to shut down your ability to buy a ceiling fan as well.
I mean, it is just full bore.
Take us back to the Stone Age.
They want to take everything from us.
On Rumble, BlackRock72, Trump had the presidential pin, and he didn't do a thing he promised.
That's what I've said all along.
He turned us over to President Fauci.
So, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at The Mind War.
Do you remember that? Remember that book?
The Mind War? By Michael Aquino, who was, his rank was colonel or lieutenant colonel.
He worked for the NSA. Strong evidence and allegations of him being a pedophile.
Protected by the NSA. He was an open Satanist.
He was pushed by Oprah Winfrey.
Yeah, we're going to talk about that in his book, The Mind War.

Wow.
Alright, let's talk a little bit about Mind War.
This is an article by Brandon Smith, Alt Market US. He said, when I first encountered the concept of fourth generation warfare about 20 years ago, I was studying the basics of propaganda and how it works.
He said, with the advent of civilian populations armed with military-grade weaponry and familiar with the training required for combat, elitist groups realized after the American Revolution that dominating the public with military might It was no longer a sure bet.
As a matter of fact, when they went to Concord and Lexington, what were they coming for?
They were coming for cannons.
Later on, at Goliath, that's why the Come and Take It has a cannon on it.
And actually, I prefer that to what a lot of people have done by putting a modern sporting rifle on there, so-called AR-15 or something like that, because that was a cannon.
That was a cannon. And that really does short-circuit this idea once and for all that civilians should not be allowed to own military-style weapons under the Second Amendment.
Anyway, one part of the strategy involves using economic leverage for social engineering.
A hundred years ago, it was more about banks creating an endless series of debt mechanisms.
Of course, it still is. And controlling the issuances of currency today, they want to change the very nature of money through CBDCs.
They're also trying to influence public behavior by attaching social justice ideology to economic participation through the ESGs.
But a greater factor in the mind war is the shift of the Overton window by making cultural pillars into cultural villains.
What I've been talking about and what I mentioned yesterday in terms of, you know, the fight over destroying the Reconciliation Monument, I think is what they called it, in Arlington after the Civil War.
I'm not going to take that down. You know, our government, the Biden administration, Lloyd Austin, they want to destroy monuments left and right.
And as I said, it is monumental fraud.
Because it really isn't about slavery.
It's not about any of this stuff.
The Civil War wasn't about slavery in the first place.
That was one of many factors, but the primary factor of the Civil War that was happening here and in Europe and other places at the same time was the switch between an agrarian society and an industrial society and the competition between those forces, political and economic, and the creation of a centralized nation-state.
That's what it was really about.
You had a civil war in Italy at the same time.
Slavery was not a factor, but all of those other things were.
Agrarian versus industrial.
Creation of a nation state instead of decentralized bases of power that you had with an agrarian state.
But they want to reframe all of this.
And the key thing is that they want to tear down all of our monuments because they're revolutionaries.
And that's what revolutionaries do.
When you come into a country and you take it over, whether you're a Marxist or you're Muslim or some other kind of revolutionary, what you do is you erase it.
The history, the culture, the political institutions that are there, and part of that is to tear down the monuments.
Always is. Whenever there's a revolution, you see them pulling down the statues of the former leaders and that type of thing.
That's what's going on right now, right in front of our very eyes.
You better understand what this is about.
This is about tearing down the cultural pillars of our society by proclaiming them to be villains.
You know, people talk about, well, you know, what about that Samson option that Israel has, you know, supposedly this mutually assured destruction, you know, just like Samson, pulling down the pillars of the temple and taking all the Philistines with him.
Well, these people are exercising the Samson option right in front of our eyes when they tear down these monuments everywhere.
And it doesn't matter to them. It doesn't have to be a Confederate monument.
They'll tear down monuments to anybody.
Tear down monuments to Columbus.
They'll tear down monuments to Ulysses Grant.
They don't care. They're an ignorant crowd.
Useful tools of this revolution.
And they really don't know or care what they're doing.
He said, name any cultural value or any principle that has defined the Western world.
And he gives a few of them.
Such as meritocracy.
Independence, self-reliance, mental toughness, liberty with responsibility, legacy through hard work and family, the protection of children from perversions, the discipline over hedonism, logic and reason over fanaticism, conservation of heritage and history, and for many people the tenets of Christian duty.
These are the pillars of our society, and they're being pulled down.
And just one of the last things that they do as they are successfully pulling down these pillars, I would say most of these pillars have already been pulled down.
So now they're pulling down the physical monuments that represent those values.
They're moving the markers of society, the boundaries of society.
So he says, and all of this is a psychological war.
And this psychological war is being funded by billions of dollars in grants from big think tanks and foundations like the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Open Society Foundation.
These are the non-governmental organizations.
Who ally themselves, like the World Economic Forum and others, and align themselves with multinational corporations and with these big foundations and have a lot of money.
That's how they bring this about, as I said before.
They don't have the ability yet to tax people with a carbon tax or anything like that.
So they depend on the money of these foundations, these multinational corporations.
They fund this stuff.
The World Economic Forum helps them to direct this, and then they use the existing political power structures to put this stuff through.
He writes, the globalists view public manipulation and social engineering as their birthright.
Well, they understand it's how they get what they want done.
Edward Bernays, That Woodrow Wilson used to liason to World War I, and then after the war went to Madison Avenue, had this to say about how easy it was to manipulate public opinion.
To quote Edward Bernays, he says, The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society.
Boy, you're talking about being Machiavellian.
So, an important part of a democratic society is how we can manipulate the people.
He says those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes are formed, our ideas are suggested largely by men that we have never heard of.
And of course, That's what they set out to do throughout the 20th century.
They did it very successfully, as I mentioned before.
You know, DARPA and JCR Licklider and the venture capital firms that helped to create these social media companies and other structures of the Internet.
The methodology of shadow government, says Brandon Smith, was constructed in the era of Bernays.
However, what started as a tactic for keeping the populace in the dark has now become a strategy for waging war on them.
Fourth generation warfare.
And, you know, it's like I said when we're talking about the FISA thing.
You know, oh, well, that's to look at foreign enemies of the state.
And yet now it's about looking at Americans.
As Madison warned us, The weapons of defense abroad will become instruments of tyranny at home.
You can see that very clearly.
And the FISA Act In the 702 stuff, but you can also see it in terms of this propaganda Psy-Op War that is manipulating us.
In a once obscure internal U.S. Army document titled, From Psy-Op to Mind War, the military value of sabotage through fourth-generation methods is described in detail.
This is the one that was written by Michael Aquino.
And here's his rank he was, Lieutenant Colonel.
He wrote it in 1980.
And I've played clips.
I don't have the clip here today to show you what he looked like.
What a piece of work he was.
He went on with Oprah Winfrey, and she thought it was very cool to have somebody who was an avowed Satanist, and he was one of the early ones.
And now you've got this guy who calls himself Lucian Greaves with the Satanic Temple, you know.
But this particular guy, Michael Aquino...
I had like a Beatles haircut, you know, gone across.
And then he had his eyebrows, he let grow out, and he tweaked them to make little points on the side.
There we go. Thank you, Travis.
Very good. Yeah, there he is.
That's him in his older days.
Maybe you can find a picture of him when he went on with Oprah Winfrey.
He had like a black suit and he had some kind of a medallion or something on his neck.
And his hair was in kind of a beetle's cut.
And she just thought it was amazing that this guy was coming out and that he worked for the government.
And here he is. He works for, you know, NSA. Which, at the time, they didn't even want to admit that there was such a thing.
You know, people would joke about it in engineering circles.
One of the guys that I worked with at Texas Instruments had worked for the NSA. And he said, what is that?
I'd never heard of it. He said, well, we say it stands for no such agency.
And so here's a guy who worked for the NSA, and yet he's going on TV with Oprah.
To talk about Satanism, not what he did there.
And that was all okay.
And he worked at the Presidio in California.
That's where his base was.
And the chaplain there, his grandson, and he were walking, and his grandson said, that's Michael Aquino.
He goes, you know him?
He goes, yeah, he's got a room that's all black inside of his house.
He's like, what? And so this guy says, I don't know if this guy's a pedophile, what the deal is with it.
And they investigated and they did find that he had a room that was all black and they started coming after him for being a pedophile.
And next thing you know, the NSA transferred him to another state, out of their jurisdiction, wouldn't do anything about it, kept him there.
Well, he wrote this book called From Psy-Op to Mind War, this protected pedo, protected by the NSA, featured by Oprah Winfrey.
His theory was that the U.S. Army was underutilizing psychological operations, And that really needed to underscore the kinetic operations, you know, where they jump out of planes and things like that.
And I said, as I was looking into asymmetric warfare, that's exactly what...
McRaven was saying, Admiral McRaven, who was head of Special Forces, he said, we've got to understand, Special Forces are essentially about psyops, more so than kinetic warfare.
And we have a lot of psyops to do to lay down the foundation before we ever get involved in kinetic operations.
But we need to start returning to that much more deliberately, said McRaven when he was there.
Keno said, essentially, you overwhelm your enemy with argument.
You seize control of all the means by which his government and his populace process information to make up their minds.
And you adjust it.
So those minds are made up as you desire.
Everyone is happy. No one gets hurt.
No one gets killed. Nothing is destroyed.
We just take everything over.
And I thought, you know, it really is true when you talk about this being a mind war.
When you talk about this guy being a Satanist.
Now, what was it? When Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he said we're going to take every thought captive.
We're going to cast down strongholds.
We understand this is a spiritual war.
You know, Michael Aquino, McRaven, these other people, they understand this is really a mind war.
It really is a spiritual war.
It's a spiritual war for your mind.
It is a spiritual war.
What are you going to do to stand up to that?
You know, they talk about his paper from PSYOP to Mind War, and yet we were told about this 2,000 years ago, weren't we?
The overarching war that's been going on all this time.
And so, if you go back to Brandon Smith, he says, a faux benevolence behind this idea is disturbing.
Believe it or not, this was Aquino's attempt to soften the The public perception.
What he did was he wrote a preface to this that I just read from.
That was a preface to it. So he said, you know, as people picked up his, from PSYOP to Mind War, started reading, I said, can you believe this stuff?
Then he put a preface there to try to soften it because he was worried that all these conspiracy circles, as he called them, were putting this in a very negative light.
He thought it was a very good thing.
You know, it's a way of getting what the government wanted without actually having to kill the people.
So he said...
He also spent decades trying to downplay the role of occultism in the upper echelons of the military, even though he's going on Oprah Winfrey.
He said, it was all a big misunderstanding, said the Satanist.
Yeah, well, you know, the reality is that that's what this truly is.
The hypocrisy of mind war, says Brandon...
It's evident in its underlying premise that the establishment will always propagandize using the truth, said Aquino.
And that's where we get this idea of misinformation.
Because, you know, the government would never lie to you.
The government can only say the truth.
And so, therefore, anybody that disagrees with the government, that's going to be labeled as misinformation.
He said at the time, 43 years ago, unlike SIOP, he said, mind war has nothing to do with deception or even with selected and therefore misleading truth.
Rather, it states a whole truth, that if it does not now exist, will be forced into existence by the will of the United States.
So even if this is not true now, even if 2 plus 2 does not equal 5, by the force of the United States, 2 plus 2 will equal 5.
That's what he was saying. And so, Brandon Smith says, Mind War is a document in and of itself is a piece of propaganda that twists reality to justify people who seek power above everything else.
He says, Nearly every concept described in it is being used against the American people and the Western public today.
The crooked arguments made in Mind War, the same exact arguments used by current governments to justify state propaganda and mass censorship of opposing views as being essential to security and the greater good.
You know, there were a lot of little other nuggets in Mind War.
I read it years ago.
I remember we went back to it when we had the Navy Yard shooter.
And he said, this is my ELF gun, ELF. But the fact is that in Mind War, Aquino had talked about the fact that they could use ELF, which is extremely low frequency, and the Navy uses that to communicate with submarines.
And he said that we could use ELF to manipulate people psychologically.
So that's very surprising since this guy was in the Navy and he's talking about Elf.
And a lot of people said, well, maybe he's into games or something.
Or maybe he was being manipulated by this very thing here.
The woke movement says Brandon is disturbingly similar in its ideals and its goals to the narcissistic religions of Satanism and Luciferianism that Aquino adores.
But he says, I'm sure it's purely coincidental.
The reason that conservatives and liberty proponents have been at such a disadvantage in the midst of this mind war until recently is because we have an old way of viewing warfare that assumes that we're going to have a stand-up fight.
That we're going to know who the enemy is.
We're going to know what their agenda is.
They point their guns at us and they try to control us and we point our guns back at them.
Well, see, that's the key issue here, right?
Because this is a spiritual war.
Spiritual war for the mind.
And these people, and you look at the way they control people.
That's one of the reasons why you have so much of the sex rings and the bribery and all the rest.
They get people who are addicted to money, to wealth, to sex, to drugs.
This just keeps oozing out of the Biden administration.
And every side of it, you keep seeing this really dark side there.
And of course, it's the other Republicans as well.
You had Dennis Astrid, who's the longest-serving Speaker of the House, was a guy who was chosen because he was blackmailable as a pedophile wrestling coach.
And it all eventually came out.
But that is the part and parcel of it.
It is very dark. It is very satanic.
And those are the chains with which they control their politicians, but you understand, that's the chains with which they control us as well.
That's why we are called to fight in this spiritual war.
Some wars are fought in a cowardly fashion in order to avoid direct confrontation, you know, like the poisoning, as Trump is saying.
They're poisoning our blood.
Yeah. Yeah, he was it.
He was one of the key apprentices.
Isn't that interesting how he was an apprentice to the sorcerers, to the pharmakia in his presidency?
Trump is the ultimate sorcerer's apprentice.
Mind war proponents would argue that the tactics are similar to guerrilla methods.
I would argue that they're much more closely related to terrorist methods.
He said, yeah, there is a difference.
You know, that, again, takes us back to asymmetric warfare.
McRaven, the NSA, these people, they're involved in asymmetric warfare against us.
The globalists know that once the shooting starts, they lose the ability to micromanage the outcome, and they might become targets.
So the purpose of this PSYOP is to either terrorize the population into not fighting back at all, or to shore up popular sentiment through lies and make any potential rebellion as fringe as possible.
Hence the reason for funding woke activism and indoctrinating Western youth and the government institutions that we call schools.
Given a generation or two, they think they can replace the West by demonizing it in the minds of today's children.
I think they've pretty much accomplished that, don't you?
Pretty close to finished with that mission.
The conflagration goes beyond left versus right.
The globalists and their institutions are the root of the disease our civilization faces.
And until that cancer is out, we'll never know peace.
And so that's the key.
It really is a war about the mind.
And it is a spiritual war about the mind.
He goes on to say, as long as we continue to see this war only as fighting with guns...
We will remain docile in the face of a more advanced cultural bombardment.
And this is why I say to people, I know you're getting upset.
Don't take the bait as people took on January the 6th.
Don't get frustrated and get violent.
Don't walk into their traps.
Our weapons are mighty because they come from a mighty God.
And so if we use the tactics of peace and prayer and other things like that, and we speak without fear, those are the most powerful weapons.
Yeah, there may come a time when in self-defense people need to do something, but that is the key thing.
And you are going to put yourself in the entire movement today.
At a disadvantage if you fire first.
It's just that simple. It's always been that way.
People inherently understand that.
I mean, it's like shooting innocent civilians.
It'll be regarded the same way.
They'll probably try to engineer that.
They'll try to make it look like that is something that we did, even if we didn't do it.
So don't do it yourself and make it easy for them.
For fourth generation warfare to prevail, the target population has to follow a certain set of rules, while the other side operates without any rules at all.
Yeah. You know, I don't understand what's going on.
I'm going to go to this school district, school board thing here.
I need to reason with these people.
And we need to get some prohibitions in the curriculum here so the teachers can't, well, teachers are going to not obey those rules.
They're going to teach the kids what they want to teach them in the class.
You're not going to stop it even if you get a law passed.
Even if you get the school board all on your side.
Even if you get the governor on your side and the state department of education and all the rest of the stuff.
So from the state level to the county school board, everybody's on your side.
Well, it comes down to the teachers who've been thoroughly indoctrinated going around and around and around.
They have been allowed to pursue all-out destruction against their enemy while the other side is admonished for doing anything That is even remotely defensive, including speaking up.
Yeah. Speak up at a school board meeting?
You're a terrorist. You're an extremist.
Well, they're the ones who are terrorizing people.
They're the ones who are using coercion, fear, threats of violence in order to achieve their political ends.
That's the textbook definition of terrorism.
So what happens when patriots stop caring about being admonished?
What happens when we no longer care about winning and politics, but we want to win in this actual war that we're involved in?
That means we don't follow people who have already lost.
It means we don't follow people who have already betrayed us, betrayed their promises, their principles, if they ever had any, that they claimed they had.
For good or ill, you will...
For good or ill...
This will all really depend on who is left to rebuild after all the smoke clears.
We've already had a taste of all of this about people who are not going to care about getting canceled or getting fired or whatever.
We got a taste of that in 2020 when people were getting fired because they wouldn't take the jab.
And so God has already been training some people for this, hasn't he?
And God is going to be there when this whole thing collapses.
The question is, will you be following his leadership or are you going to go in your own way?
Are you going to try to do this in your own strength or are you going to follow the designs and the paths that God has laid out?
That's really the question before us.
We know what these people are about.
We know what their philosophies are about.
We know what their tactics are about.
We know the structures that they have booby-trapped and how they booby-trapped them.
So what do we do about it?
Well, we do the right thing.
And we don't back down from this.
So as everybody's talking about this false flag cyber attack and the stuff that was put out there in the Obama movie, I don't know where everybody's talking about where all the Teslas break down and go to the same intersection and stuff.
Oh, look, that already happened with GM Cruz in San Francisco and things like that.
And then even there's one spot in the movie where this...
Ship, just people on the beach, and they see the ship is headed toward them.
It just keeps coming, getting bigger and bigger, big tanker, and it just plows into the beach.
Well, that's already happened as well.
And so there's a lot of this stuff that is predictive programming.
And they have set us up to be susceptible to a false flag cyber attack.
So, this global threat, as they like to say, is going to call for a global response.
I think it is very telling that it was the Obama administration that said any cyber attack is going to be construed as a physical attack, and that will be justification for us to go after whoever was behind it.
Well, you can't know whoever was behind it because of the tools that they have, the tools that have been linked to the entire world.
Vault 7, the tools that the CIA designed to make it look like they were anybody that they wanted to look like.
So you can't reliably make that distinction.
And yet, even though we know all of that, every time you see a headline, well, look at this.
China did this to our infrastructure with a cyber attack.
Or Iran did it.
And nobody ever questions that.
That's being put out there by the Mockingbird Press, Washington Post, New York Times.
Oh, look, Iran just did this, or China just did that with a cyber attack.
There's no way that they can know that.
It's just as likely that, you know, the CIA did it as a false fog attack.
But nobody can determine where that came from.
It could be an independent black hat hacker that is out there doing it.
Anybody could do that now.
And so, what is this going to look like?
If they collapse this financial system?
Well, VaccineImpact.com, Brian Shulhavi said, well, you know, why would the Atlantic Council, which is a military strategy think tank, why would they focus on CBDC? Yeah, just like why would DARPA focus on Election Guard and on News Guard?
Because they're a military group and everything, yeah?
Well, we're living in a global hybrid war.
It's a mind war. It's a financial war.
It's a mind field, if you will.
The war aims will be achieved by means other than kinetic war.
The foremost aim of the people who have privately controlled the central banks and money creation is for them to remain in power forever.
And they cannot tolerate any risks of resistance, any pockets even of resistance.
And so the general manager of the Bank of International Settlements, to quote him again in his speech about cross-border payments, a vision for the future, he says, well, we don't know who's using a $100 bill today.
I've played this for you. We don't know who's using a $100 bill or who's using a 1,000 peso bill today.
Key difference with the CBDC? The central bank will have absolute control over the rules and regulations and will determine the use of that expression of the central bank liability.
And we will also have the technology to enforce that.
In other words, total surveillance, total control.
And so if the old money system somehow collapses, as I just read for you how it is set up, rigged up to collapse, new money will be provided by the central banks in the form of CBDC. And here's how it'll work.
Imagine that there is somehow total economic chaos, as Fauci has said, I've played it for you so many times, I won't play it now.
He said, you know, how do you get them to fill in the blank?
Yeah, you do it from the inside, you do it with chaos, and you do it iteratively.
And so, imagine that you've got chaos from the inside, as he's talking about.
You've lost everything.
But you've still got your smartphone.
If you don't have a smartphone, don't worry, they'll give you one.
Then you will download an app, and you'll click on boxes, and you'll agree to everything, and you'll become increasingly indebted with each payment you make using the CBDC. They've already run this through with the poor people in India.
Gates wanted them to have an ID, so they set up the Adhar system, and it's like, okay, you're poor, you don't have anything.
You want food? You want medical care?
You want housing? Whatever.
Take a number. Take the number.
And we'll give that stuff to you.
And that's the game that they want to play.
If they collapse everything, you can't get anything, they shut everything down.
Well, you know, here's your phone.
Here's a phone for you.
Download this app, click on the buttons, and just start putting yourself in debt.
That truly is the way that they're going to roll this thing out.
Well, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to take a look at some general news.
Before we go, on Rumble, our looter, thank you very much for the tip.
He says, God bless.
Well, thank you. On Rumble, you are a blessing.
Appreciate that. On Rumble, high boost.
I watched the movie you're talking about, Dave.
I don't believe there will be any attacks like that or power outages.
They need the Internet and the electricity to control us.
Well, that's true. That's why I say, you know, if this thing works out that they've given a $10 million contract to, that Tesla wanted to try to get to work, but he couldn't get to work.
If they can get that to work out, they can ration the electricity, they can ration the Internet to us, and they can have it 100% themselves.
We'll have to see what happens. But again, we don't have to worry about this.
We need to prepare for this.
We need to understand what this is.
But even if they are successful in getting us locked into captivity, again, I always go back to Jeremiah 29, where God tells the people who have been carried away into captivity because of the disobedience of their nation, He says, I know the plans I have for you.
Plans to prosper, not to harm.
And He tells them, Work for the peace of this foreign country that you've been carried away into.
Work to have your children get married and have a family.
Grow your food. Build your business.
But the key thing is that you follow God.
That's the key thing. We'll be right back.

You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, let's take a look at some general news.
I thought this was pretty much a sign of the time.
This is almost like a Rodney Dangerfield joke where he says, you know, I get no respect.
My neighborhood is so bad, the crime is so bad, that these armed robbers had their getaway car stolen.
That's what happened in Colorado.
I guess just outside of Denver.
It doesn't say it's because it's a Denver channel that covered this.
We had three people who were doing armed robbery of a store.
And their getaway car, I guess they left it running in that bad neighborhood.
And... These guys were robbing one of these check-cashing places.
They came out and their car had been stolen.
So, yeah, that's kind of where we are in this society, isn't it?
Especially in the blue states, as they like to call them.
And I've chosen not to talk about this or show anything about it, but I had to cover this when, you know, we were talking about this in the family.
This guy who did the sex tape in the Senate chamber room And we're talking about that, and it's like in the context of January the 6th, right?
What was it that really got their ire?
You people walked into my holy sanctuary here, into the Capitol building?
How dare you come in here with your MAGA cap and your flag and all the rest of this stuff?
It is like some kind of a holy sanctuary to them, right?
Are they going to do anything about this guy?
Apparently not. They're going to investigate it, they said, the Capitol Police.
But, you know, We could say, go to Rodney Dangerfield.
Let me tell you, my government is so corrupt that this is what happened there.
So, I don't know.
Maybe they just look at this and say, maybe this is just a commentary on what this place is really about.
You know, Peter O'Rourke years ago.
Talked about Congress in his book.
He called it a Parliament of Whores.
I guess that's what we're looking at here.
Maybe it was a job interview that it was filmed.
I don't know. Maybe the January the 6th.
Prosecutors who are all upset about people coming into their holy sanctuary, you know, like the elderly men, you know, in their 70s.
They want to put them in jail for five, six years, a life sentence in their late 70s.
Um, because they walked up to the police who were standing there by the open doors and says, is there a bathroom in there?
Yeah, it's right around here. And for that, and then they left.
And for that, they want to send him to jail for five or six years.
This guy, you got Jonathan Turley who's trying, struggling, trying to figure out what, so what crime did he commit?
I mean, what's the problem with this?
Well, you know, he shared this in a private group for gay men in politics.
I think you put it on the internet.
It's not private, right?
Yeah. It's a relative term, I guess.
And this is... Really what the Democrat Party has become.
You know, you had the woman who was running for state office.
I think it was State House in Virginia.
And she was doing pornography for hire on the internet.
And then she portrayed herself as a victim.
And this guy is portraying himself as a victim.
He gets fired by the Democrat senator he works for, Cardin.
And he calls him homophobic.
So Jonathan Turley says, so the question is, you know, whether or not they could bring charges.
The question is whether this was unofficial use that would constitute trespass.
Again, yeah. Is this official or unofficial?
That's what Congress is really about.
It also uses an official area for personal purposes.
You know, but these are things that are...
Not a misdemeanor type of things.
It's all Jonathan Turley, who's a Republican-aligned lawyer.
It's the only thing he can come up with.
So, and again, don't fire this guy because now you're homophobic.
Maybe they'll get some kind of a DEI lawsuit going on about this.
But again, you know, this has all happened in their sanctuary.
Sanctuary for certain things.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're going to take one of these rooms and film a ritual abortion in it or something next.
It would not surprise me at all if the Democrats were to do something like that.
And then I thought this was kind of interesting because I don't typically talk about sports, except I do talk about it when you have billionaires get billions in tax subsidies to build stadiums so that millionaires can play a boys game.
Right? That's what's going on in professional sports.
Oh, but look at all the wealth that it creates.
It doesn't create any wealth. It transfers wealth from one group of people to another.
The rich get richer.
The billionaire owners get richer.
The millionaire players get richer.
And so we got this baseball star from Japan who's been given the biggest contract ever, $700 million.
But then Reason had an interesting take on this.
He's in California, which specializes on taxes on the very rich.
And so they had to structure this thing.
As they point out in their headline, they structured his contract as a massive tax avoidance scheme.
And again, avoidance is legal.
That's fine. You're allowed to avoid taxes.
You're not allowed to evade taxes.
That's the two terms.
You know, evasion is, you know...
I know what the rule is, and I'm not going to play that rule.
But if you play by the different rules that they've got and try to not pay taxes, that's what they call avoidance.
And so he signed a 10-year contract.
He's going to make $700 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
And, you know, when I looked at that amount of money, I remember it was about 2013, 2014, maybe about 10 years ago.
I did some reports on...
These professional ball stadiums, right?
There's one being built here in the area in Knoxville.
A lot of money going into that.
And I said, you know, how do they justify giving hundreds of millions of dollars?
That's what it was at the time.
You know, they were just about to have the first one of these stadiums that was going to hit a billion dollars.
And so, when I was talking about this ten years ago, Taxpayers are getting hit to build these stadiums for about the same amount of money they're paying this one player now for 10 years in his 10-year contract.
And so, now here we are, and a player gets as much as the taxpayers used to have to pay to subsidize these sports complexes.
And look, I get it, you like the sports, that's fine.
But let the billionaires who own the teams, they can afford to build these stadiums, and they can put it under the price of the tickets.
And that's what they should do.
Who else gets to, well, there's plenty of people who are now on the public teat who are, you know, getting subsidized.
Crony capitalism is all over the place, but we don't need to accept it in any particular area.
What they've done, though, to avoid paying taxes, they're going to only pay him $2 million a year for the next 10 years.
Instead of $70 million a year, he'll get $2 million.
And then that additional $68 million per year will be deferred for a decade.
And that'll give him a chance to get out of Dodge.
Or to get out of Dodgers.
To get out of California. He can go somewhere where they're not going to steal so much of it.
And... For example, by the time he starts getting these payments from the $68 million per year, $680 million will still be there in the kitty, maybe he can avoid taxes by moving someplace like Florida that doesn't have an income tax, or by moving back to Japan, said the Wall Street Journal.
But, as they point out, don't worry for him.
He's not going to be living off of a mere $2 million a year because he's making about $40 million a year off of endorsements already.
But he would save as much as $98 million in state taxes if he reallocates out of California by 2034, the 10th year.
But I looked at this and I thought, well, you know, what if California just changes the laws?
Which they want to do.
Because, again, if this guy gets away with this and people know about this structure, will he be an example for other people?
Well, they said if he retires after this contract expires in 2033, he'll be able to claim that the deferred payments from the Dodgers are retirement income.
And the federal tax code explicitly forbids states from trying to tax the retirement income of individuals who no longer reside in that state where they once worked.
So maybe that might work.
But then on the other hand, Reason says California might try to contest that.
The California Franchise Tax Board...
Tells sports writers that its determination about future tax liability would depend on unique facts and circumstances of a taxpayer, as well as the terms of any compensation agreement.
They've got very complicated rules about all this, regulations that allow the state to tax non-resident actors and singers and performers and entertainers and wrestlers and boxers and anybody else who has a lot of money California has figured a way to come after them.
But meanwhile, who helps the taxpayers who are subsidizing the stadiums for these phenomenally wealthy people?
Nobody. Nobody.
The FISA Act was such an obvious act of betrayal and surveillance that even the Chinese communists Are mocking America for doing this.
And who was it that stuck it in there?
Mike Johnson, our new conservative, Trump-supporting Christian, Speaker of the House, who stuck this thing in there.
Chinese Communist Breitbart says are lecturing us about the renewal of FISA. And then, of course, they talk about how bad the Chinese are.
But you know what? The Chinese are right about this.
I've said for the longest time, you know, when RT talks about America, they'll typically tell you the truth.
They'll lie to you about what's going on in Russia.
And the Chinese will point out our faults, but they'll lie to us about what's going on in China.
Of course, if you look at some of these American papers, like the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, they lie to you about everything.
They lie to you about what's going on in other countries, and they lie to you about what's going on in this country.
And, of course, the...
Chinese Communist papers do the same, really.
But nevertheless, what they said about this is true.
And remember, I said it was...
2020 was the year the world became China, and I got kicked by YouTube for saying that.
But it's true, and this was already going on long before 2020.
All this FISA stuff and this abuse of a law that was specifically set up To stop domestic surveillance of Americans being twisted and perverted and inverted by the intelligence community and their accomplices in Congress to do exactly that.
It was set up to stop domestic surveillance and they used it with that Section 702 to authorize Domestic surveillance.
To presumably give themselves the authority.
But of course, they can't do that.
They can't do that with any law, legislation, rule, nothing.
Section 702 is meaningless.
And it is a color of law perversion and prevarication because the Constitution is still there.
You've got to have a search warrant. End of story.
It's really simple. Just like they come up with those complicated economic structures and derivatives to try to gaslight us.
But the reality is right there, you know, just like a piece of gold.
This is money. This is the Fourth Amendment.
It says you're not going to spy on people without a search warrant.
You just violated that. But China has been a beta test.
China has been a beta test for all of this stuff.
And never forget that. That's really what this is...
All truly about. And all of this so-called pandemic was not about the Wuhan lab.
All of China is a lab for the kind of authoritarian society that they want to set up and always has been.
And they rolled this stuff out for everybody at the time.
Mark Crispin is someone who has a substack.
He was recently interviewed. He's a New York University professor.
He was an expert on propaganda.
And again, we were talking about propaganda earlier.
Just go back to it briefly. COVID-19, he said, was a global propaganda masterpiece.
Yes, that's what I've been saying.
It was not biological.
It was psychological.
Propaganda on this level, he said, has never happened before in human history.
The media has been crucial to this entire operation.
He said, I would take that a little bit further.
I would say, since the beginning of 2020, we have been subjected to a rolling thunder of propaganda that is driving one after the other.
He said, first, there was the virus panic, which was propaganda and lies.
Then there was the George Floyd moment, which was propaganda and lies.
Then there was the 2020 election, which was propaganda and lies.
They began with a mail-in and mail-out the ballot selection.
Then they escalated it right after the election with the Sting, Steve Pachenik, and Infowars, and the Stop Steal from Infowars and Trump's Save America thing.
And then they came in on the Biden side with the insurrection stuff after all of that.
There was a massive propaganda piece on both sides.
Then there was the Ukraine situation, the exploding pipelines that they lied to everybody about and all the rest of the stuff, as well as the Coup that they lied about and everything about it.
The framers, he said, knew that you needed to have a counterforce to federal power.
And that's why it was absolutely imperative to have a free press.
It's the reason why the press has First Amendment protections, to tell truths that the federal authorities do not want us to know.
And so he said, so to say that the press has failed abysmally in this is actually giving them too much credit.
They've been instrumental throughout this nightmare.
In other words, they've been complicit.
They have been accessories, enablers, co-conspirators.
Now, the people who label everybody else that disagrees with them conspiracy theorists, they are conspirators themselves.
He said their aim is radical depopulation, destruction of democracy.
If you tell the other side of the story, you're public enemy number one.
I'm glad to see this being repeated by a lot of different people in a lot of different places.
I think a lot of people are starting to understand this now.
And this is the message that really needs to get out.
But he goes on to say that the COVID-19 thing was the perfect crime.
And by that he means the vaccine.
Not some bioweapon lab.
The vaccine is what he said.
He said the biggest story about all this...
It's the depopulation agenda.
He said, it is the biggest story that we could ever have short of nuclear war.
Imagine if there was nuclear war and everybody pretended that it didn't happen.
You know, they just gave it another alternative explanation as to why these cities are reduced to ashes or whatever.
But it was every bit as implausible, and it was every bit as damaging.
So he said it's the biggest story we could ever have, short of a global nuclear exchange.
Because this COVID-19 so-called vaccine is the perfect crime.
It is the perfect crime because there's such a long delay.
He says sometimes it can take people two years to succumb to the consequences of taking this shot.
So it's the perfect crime.
That's why I talk about it as Trump being the poisoner-in-chief.
That's why I said yesterday. He starts talking about, you know, the immigrants are poisoning the blood.
I said, is that really what he's talking about?
Or is this kind of a sick obsession of having to tell people what he actually did?
It was Trump who actually poisoned the blood.
The sorcerer's apprentice.
So he said, I would liken it to the infamous mass murders of the mid-century and what he means by that are the ones that were done by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot.
But it's much, much bigger than that.
This had much more sophistication than any of those mass murders.
And it has bigger numbers than any of those mass murders.
And yet, who are the two leading candidates?
Do you prefer Stalin or do you prefer Mao?
Do you prefer Hitler or do you prefer Pol Pot?
These are the choices that we have on the ballot.
He said the panic over the coronavirus was so successful people were craving vaccination.
Craving it, he says, to emphasize that.
And that's true. That's how successful they were with all of that.
And so, you know, as I'm thinking about all that, how they've been so effective.
At deceiving people.
I saw this story.
This plane passenger comes from Russia, and he winds up in L.A. He traveled from Europe to L.A., and he doesn't have a passport.
And the people say, how did you even get on the plane?
You know, they typically are vetted for the passport and everything before you get on the plane.
He has no idea, he said.
I didn't even remember how I got on the plane.
I mean, now he could be somebody like the underwear bomber and he just completely forgot what his mission was or whatever.
As the lawyer Haskell said, he was sitting there when they put the underwear bomber on the plane.
He said, I'm sitting there waiting to get on the plane with my wife and this guy in a suit comes up and there's this bomb.
It looks like they took him off the street as a homeless person.
He said, that got my attention.
He's a lawyer. Haskell was a lawyer.
And he says, that got my attention.
I thought that was really strange. And so I started paying attention to what it was.
And the guy's not saying anything.
He's just there. And the guy in the suit's doing all the talking and getting everything squared away with the woman at the counter.
And then kind of escorts him onto the plane.
He gets on and... And so he said he was seated a few aisles behind him, and he said, this is the guy who, you know, is there underway?
He fumbles around and tries to detonate something in his underwear or whatever.
And then, of course, they make a big deal out of it.
It happened around Christmastime.
And Michael Chertoff and his company, Michael Chertoff was the first head of Homeland Security, and Michael Chertoff already had a company that had already designed all these body scanners, and he already had them manufactured, and he already had them sitting there in the warehouses ready to go out.
Wasn't it an amazing coincidence and fortunate for him that you had this underwear bomber?
And Haskell said, you want it so hard to testify, and they wouldn't allow him to testify.
Use the threat of Haskell testifying as leverage to get him essentially off.
And so Haskell at the end of it said, oh, that's it.
And he left the country.
He said, I'm going to kind of expose some of the wrong people here.
So he left the country. So here's this guy, plane passenger.
He has got no idea how he got to LA from Russia.
He's got no passport, no papers.
He didn't buy a ticket. How did this wake up?
And as I was looking at this, I thought, well, Is this kind of a metaphor for where we are as a country?
How did I get on this plane?
And someday we're going to wake up and we're going to find that we're in a foreign country and we don't know how we got here?
Think of it as going from L.A. to the Gulag in Russia or something.
We're going to find ourselves in some kind of an open-air prison.
So they said the FBI is trying to investigate this, how he could get on the plane without a ticket, without a passport, without a visa.
They said during the 12-hour flight, stewardesses said he was hopping from one seat to another.
He attempted to talk to other passengers.
During meal services, he brazenly asked for two meals, and he reportedly almost ate the cabin crew's chocolate stash.
I guess they stopped him at the last minute.
So, you know, when you look at all of this stuff, maybe it looks like he was lying about this.
You know, you could always say it.
I heard this story once. Some guy, and I still didn't even understand how that could happen.
He went to Auckland, New Zealand.
He thought he was going to Oakland.
That just doesn't... How do you get...
But this guy was able to do something like this.
So maybe that story was true.
I always discounted that as nonsense.
But maybe this is true.
Maybe he was trying to get to St.
Petersburg, Russia, and they had him routed to St.
Petersburg, Florida, stopping at L.A. I don't know.
I don't know what the situation is with all that.
But folks, we better figure out what plane they're putting us on and where the ultimate destination is.
And if you know that, that's going to give you kind of a heads up to do something about it.
We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Thank you.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Wow.
This is a follow-up to what I talked about with the election the other day, you know, the fact that you've got this guy running again for Congress in Ohio.
He already lost by a huge margin to the Democrat there.
It's been a Democrat seat for a very long time.
Marcy Kaptur, who is one of the longest, the longest serving woman in Congress.
So it's a pretty safe seat, although she's getting older.
Maybe they think they got an N. But this guy's name is, if I'm pronouncing it correctly, Majewski.
He was an Air Force veteran.
He said he was in Afghanistan.
They looked at his records and they said, no, he wasn't in Afghanistan.
And the Republican Congressional Committee pulled their funding from him at the last minute in the last election.
Now he's back, running again.
You would think, well, he doesn't have a chance.
Even the Republicans walked away from him.
He's got the sniff, the smell of George Santos about him.
And even worse in some regards, because it's like a stolen valor type of thing.
People militarily claiming they did something that they didn't do.
They did, in the interim, give him a medal for anybody who got this medal when they were overseas, and he was stationed, actually, in another country, not Afghanistan.
So it still doesn't prove that he was in Afghanistan.
It still doesn't prove that he was telling the truth.
But he got the endorsement of J.D. Vance and of President Trump and of some other state officials because his opponent, And said in a meeting, and somebody leaked the tape, that he didn't like Trump.
He wasn't going to endorse Trump.
He wasn't going to seek Trump's endorsement.
And so because of that, all these people lined up behind a George, who apparently appears to be another George Soros, not Santos, type of guy, right?
But then it took a very interesting turn.
You know, again, the only thing that matters, this guy's integrity doesn't matter.
There's still a bit of a question mark over this.
A big question mark that's not been solved.
And yet, because he's got Trump's endorsement, and he got Trump's endorsement, he got J.D. Vance's endorsement, because his opponent trash-talked Trump.
Then it turns out that there's some tapes of this guy trash-talking Trump.
And now the plane turns in the other direction.
And now you've got people speaking out.
out.
You got another Congressman Warren Davidson in Ohio saying, unless he's found somebody he knows that can say that he was in Afghanistan, he can have some proof that he was in Afghanistan.
I don't know how he overcomes that issue.
It is a disqualifier for anybody that does it.
I'm not saying he did, but so far, last I heard, he didn't have a good answer.
However... However, everything changed because it's not really a disqualifier to lie about your military service.
It wasn't a disqualifier for J.D. Vance or the other Republicans in Ohio who went behind him.
The disqualifier was that he criticized his opponent, criticized Trump.
That meant that he was qualified.
But now we find that Majewski has put out some private messages that called Trump an idiot.
Pictures of the alleged Majewski message were shown to the former president, according to a fourth person familiar with the interaction.
Now, what are they going to do? You see, the bottom line is that the Republican Party has just been totally captured by Trump sycophants.
And they are afraid to put anybody out front that is not a fellow sycophant to Trump.
And this is the political party.
This is the grassroots. This is especially the media going to run as far as they can away from him.
Republicans, by the way, are now introducing a plan to verify U.S. citizenship for mail-in voters.
This is a legitimate concern.
This is a legitimate problem.
But how are they going to do this?
They don't mention specifically E-Verify, but they're saying they've got legislation that would give states the power to verify the American citizenship of applicants registering to vote by mail.
Do you know how this is going to look?
I think this is going to be E-Verify.
I think it'll be something like that.
If it's not E-Verify, if they don't use E-Verify, they'll use something else.
E-Verify is how you look to see if somebody is an American citizen before they can get a job.
And that's what they applied in Florida.
That's what DeSantis and the Republicans in Florida did.
They said to help to stop the flow of immigrants coming in, we're going to have Americans prove their citizenship before they can get a job.
Do you think the illegals are going to have to prove their citizenship before they get a job?
We just had a South American madam who was engaged in human trafficking into the Nashville area just get arrested publicly.
Because, you see, these people are not going to use E-Verify to get permission to do their work.
And as I've said for the longest time, whenever they create a problem, Like with open borders, or they create a problem with artificial intelligence creating the ability to create fake video clips and fake audio clips and stuff like that.
So they say, well, in order to verify this stuff is real, we're going to have to have IDs of human beings.
We're not going to require the AI to self-label itself.
It doesn't have to have an ID. We're going to create this problem and tell you, you've got to have an ID. We're going to create the problem of open borders and we'll tell you, you've got to have an ID. And I think this is what they're going to do.
Rather than fixing the problem, which is the vote-by-mail problem and the vote, send out all the ballots to everybody.
We've always had absentee ballots for people who can't make it to the polls.
But this is a completely different thing.
And it was a precedent of Trump.
But the people in power will always make two mistakes rather than admit to one, won't they?
And so nobody is going to stop this vote-by-mail.
Instead, they'll use a vote-by-mail problem to tell you you're going to have to have E-Verify in order to vote or some kind of an ID like that to prove that you're an American citizen.
You could stop the, just when we look at E-Verify for the jobs, right?
It's not really the jobs of the problem.
It's the people who are coming in and living on welfare.
But you notice that they don't say we're going to stop the welfare magnet that's drawing people in.
No, instead we will say they've got to have a digital ID in order to have a job.
And you as an American citizen will have to have a digital ID in order to have a job.
That's the directions that they go.
So they say, well, we've got this problem with massive uncontrolled immigration and with lax controls at the ballot.
And so what we're going to do is have you get an ID. Isn't it interesting how every single problem now in society has a solution that you've got to get a digital ID? Isn't that a coincidence?
Or is that a conspiracy? So the legislation would amend the National Voting Rights Act to allow states to require proof of citizenship.
For those applicants registering to vote in state and federal elections by mail, just have people have a, you know, these are going to be in places where they don't even allow people to have photo ID. And a lot of this is happening because of the types of things that we're seeing in Boston.
We just had the mayor there, Wu, Michelle Wu, who had her No Whites Christmas party.
And now she wants, I guess, No Whites voting.
In her political party, or in the elections, Boston is now debating allowing non-citizens to vote.
And this is happening as she is excluding white people from her Christmas parties.
She explains that we have people who, despite not being given a voice in their local government through the ballot, have worked, sacrificed, and invested in their neighborhoods, and all people should have a say in the decisions that impact their lives.
One person said in council chambers, that's Kendra Lara, said that in council chambers.
But that's not the basis for citizenship.
You know, when you look at Switzerland, people have to live there for several years.
And they have to do what she described here.
They have to work. They have to be a part of the neighborhood.
They have to be known.
You have to have references as well as an established history in Switzerland.
And then you can apply for citizenship, and it doesn't mean that you necessarily get it.
Because they're looking for people who are loyal to their country.
We're not looking for that.
And they're certainly not looking for that in Boston.
As we look at what is happening in Serbia, for example, there's a big scandal now because the Serbian president was accused of busing in 40,000 people from Bosnia to vote.
That's nothing. Look at what Biden has done by the millions.
So I guess because of what Biden is doing and because of what Michelle Wu is doing, I guess now that we've got this problem, the answer to every problem, again, is to have a digital ID. Doesn't matter what the problem is.
We've got to have a digital ID. So, Nikki Haley.
Both Nikki Haley and DeSantis are finally criticizing Trump for January the 6th, but not for the real issues.
Nikki Haley. And, of course, when you go to the...
Operation MAGA Bird Press that wants to cheer Trump.
Their headline is, WND, Clueless!
Nikki Haley slams Trump for his January the 6th actions.
It's not clueless.
She said he had the opportunity to stop it.
He could have used his bully pulpit.
She doesn't talk about the fact that he was the one who enticed people to come.
He was the one who lured them in.
Ramaswamy won't talk about that either.
He says, oh, I think this is entrapment.
I think they were lured in.
Well, who was it that lured them in?
No, they won't say that.
Won't say that it was Trump who did that.
And DeSantis is criticizing him as well.
I took a backhanded swap at him when he was doing an interview, saying that Trump could have pardoned non-violent January the 6th protesters, but he chose not to.
And that's absolutely true. Absolutely true.
Why didn't he do it?
He didn't do it because he wanted to protect himself.
That would have put him in greater jeopardy, but of course they impeached him anyway.
Again, the guy is incapable of acting except out of his own self-interest, and so of course he's not going to pardon the January 6th protesters.
Remember the clip of Roger Stone and how furious he was?
Ranting, raging, and swearing at Trump.
You know, calling him every name he could think of.
Saying, that guy will never be president and all the rest of the stuff.
And now look at what Roger Stone is doing.
Just amazing. Well, thank you for listening, and thank you for all the support.
And again, I'll just mention again, we'll play a clip here to tell you about the Christmas album and where you can find it at thedavidknightshow.com.
