You're watching The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| China, in league with the New World Order Chinese Century think tanks, is preparing a full-scale depopulation strategy to stomp out freedom and replace it with global communist enslavement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've been learning that one of the things that the Chinese are doing to advance this global ambition of theirs is to take out the United States of America. | |
| Because we're the only impediment. | ||
| Really, to realizing those goals. | ||
| And one of the most insidious of the ways in which China is waging what it has called, what it has declared, is people's war against this country. | ||
| And that it uses so-called unrestricted warfare techniques to achieve, is perhaps the most insidious of those techniques. | ||
| And you mentioned it. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party deploys dollars just as much as it does cloaks and daggers to get its hands on valuable knowledge. | ||
| There are many American scholars, often doing research funded by American taxpayers, that have been lured into the Chinese Communist Party's talent recruitment programs. | ||
| The CCP pays them what is for them. | ||
| A fortune to do research related to their current fields for or in China. | ||
| And that often uses the fruits of their brainpower to build its military strength. | ||
| What the American people have to understand is all the data that goes into those mobile apps that kids have so much fun with and seem so convenient, it goes right to servers in China, right to the Chinese military, the Chinese Communist Party, and the agencies which want to steal our intellectual property. | ||
| Those apps can be used to steal personal and financial information for blackmail and extortion. | ||
| They can be used to steal business, intellectual property, and proprietary secrets. | ||
| The Chinese won't play by the state. | ||

|
The guy who now runs the Central Intelligence Agency is a long-time Foreign Service officer by the name of Bill Burns. | |
| Bill Burns, until he took this job, ran the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. | ||
| Bill Burns was a guy who enabled Chinese influence operations at the Carnegie Endowment. | ||
| Bill Burns lied to Senator Marco Rubio and the Senate Intelligence Committee when he was up for his confirmation hearing about the fact that he claimed he had shut down these influence operations, which he actually allowed those to continue. | ||
| Worse yet, he put a prominent Chinese influence operator on the board of trustees of the Carnegie Endowment. - There's no evidence in the record that this administration is prepared to truly confront China. | ||
| According to the confidential briefing obtained by the Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Defence Force Adviser Major General Adam Finlay said last year that China was already engaged in grey zone warfare. | ||
| Finley went on to explain that China has game plan strategies to circumvent traditional military red lines to avoid direct conflict, and so is utilizing more subtle and unconventional forms of attack. | ||
| General Finley said they know that Western democracies have peace, and then when they cross the line, we get really angry, then we start bombing people. | ||
| China said, according to Finley, Let's be smarter. | ||
| Let's just play below the threshold before it goes to war. | ||
| Let's achieve things strategically without having a war. | ||
| So now we have a new dimension. | ||
| China's use of political warfare is having a confounding effect on the West, which is more accustomed to direct kinetic warfare. | ||
| Recently, it was reported that China is moving behind the scenes towards establishing a major naval port on the west coast of Africa that would host Chinese submarines and aircraft carriers capable of projecting Beijing's military power directly into the Atlantic, according to a top military official, as China extends its hand into a Western culture already riddled with communism. | ||

| Welcome to American Journal. | ||
| It is the 11th of May and we will be right back with your daily dispatch. | ||
| Bombs flying in Israel. | ||
| Infrastructure shut down all over America. | ||
| It's an exciting day to be here at InfoWars. | ||
| Stay with us folks. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
|

|
You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| It is the 11th of May. | ||
| It's Tuesday, and you're watching us here on InfoWars.com and Band.Video. | ||
| My name is Harrison Smith, and I'm so, so glad that you're here with us today. | ||
| A lot of chaos flying around, a lot of nonsense happening, a lot of lies being told, and we will be covering it all from the Colonial Pipeline shutdown to The conflict in Israel, all of this and more in today's edition of American Journal. | ||
| First, we begin, as we always do, with our daily dispatch. | ||
| Here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for the 11th of May 2021. | ||
| Gaza militants, Israel trade new rocket fire and airstrikes. | ||
| Rockets launched from Gaza and Israel unleashed this early Tuesday morning in an escalation triggered by soaring tensions in Jerusalem and days of clashes at an iconic mosque in the Holy City. | ||
| 24 people, including nine children, were killed in Gaza overnight, most of them in Israeli strikes. | ||
| More than 700 Palestinians were hurt in clashes with Israeli security forces in Jerusalem and across the West Bank in 24 hours. | ||
| Including nearly 500 who were treated at hospitals. | ||
| The Israeli military said six Israeli civilians were hurt by rocket fire Tuesday morning. | ||
| And of course, this has brought about a round of support for Israel from everybody on either side of our political divide. | ||
| Because, well, we'll get into that later in the program. | ||
| The other biggest story for today is of course the Colonial Pipeline shutdown. | ||
| The Colonial Pipeline has been shut down because of a cyber attack. | ||
| A ransom hack has shut down the largest pipeline in America, known as the Artery of America. | ||
| Two largest U.S. | ||
| refineries shut down crude units due to Colonial outage. | ||
| And there's massive lines in places all over the southeast from North Carolina to Texas, massive lines at gas stations, gas refineries being shut down, a total collapse of American infrastructure. | ||
| The Biden administration has come out and said, yeah, that's the private sector. | ||
| We aren't going to interfere with that. | ||
| Again, more on that later in the show as well. | ||
| This broke yesterday at InfoWars.com. | ||
| Klaus Schwab calls for global health pass based on implantable microchip. | ||
| World Economic Forum founder and creator of the Great Reset, Klaus Schwab, called for a mandatory global health pass in the form of an implantable chip within 10 years. | ||
| The interesting thing is this is from a 2016 interview. | ||
| Meaning that all of these things that they're rolling out Ostensibly because of COVID, in fact, were plans that were in place for many years before this very convenient excuse fell in their lap. | ||
| Some good news here. | ||
| Canadian court grants bail to jailed Christian pastor Art Pawlowski. | ||
| He'll be released within hours. | ||
| This of course was the Christian pastor who was a guest on our program when he drove out the neo-Nazi jackbooted thugs of COVID enforcement. | ||
| They then visited him again, this time with the SWAT team, and now, a third time, they have accosted him, this time arresting him, dragging him off of a highway with his hands over his head. | ||
| In the 48 hours since then, millions of people around the world have watched the video and images of Pastor Artur's arrest, and many chipped in to crown fund a top legal team to help him, and now he has Been granted bail and will be able to leave within hours. | ||
| So, there you go. | ||
| A little bit of good news followed up by, of course, some very bad news. | ||
| Cancer ticking time bomb set to explode as 350,000 cases missed in COVID lockdown. | ||
| The repercussions are likely to see survival rates for cancer plummet as more people are diagnosed in the later stage of the disease. | ||
| Analysis by NHS England figures by The Times revealed 350,000 fewer people have been referred by a GP to hospital. | ||
| Around 1.85 million urgent care, urgent cancer referrals were made by GPs between March 2020 and January 21, a 16% drop on the 2.2 million the same year before. | ||
| Around 20,000 fewer lung cancer referrals were made and 34,000 breast cancer referrals. | ||
| So essentially because normal healthcare is being sidelined in favor of COVID-19 obsessions at every level of the healthcare system, we're going to see a lot of diseases like cancer explode in the coming years as they could have been caught early on and perhaps treated effectively. | ||
| But now since COVID has to take priority, Those diagnoses aren't being made and likely won't be made until it's too late to do anything about the cancer. | ||
| Mayor Bill de Blasio increases New York... Let me just... Let me just stop real quick. | ||
| 350,000 cases missed in the COVID lockdown. | ||
| So even if you take the most wild-eyed, speculative COVID death numbers that count basically any death Near somebody who has COVID as a COVID death. | ||
| In America, I think we're just under half a million, just under 500,000. | ||
| This is in UK, and they say 350,000 cancer cases missed during COVID lockdown. | ||
| That has to be many, many times more than the number of people in the UK who have died of COVID-19. | ||
| So, just to Put things in perspective here, if this number is at all accurate, that means that likely more people will die from cancer as a result of the COVID lockdowns than actually died of COVID. | ||
| Just so we're clear. | ||
| Wanted to wrap my mind around that number real quick. | ||
| Mayor Bill de Blasio increases NYPD funding by $150 million after shockingly large crime surge, after insisting on the solution of precision policing, social workers replacing police officers in many situations, and improving relations between the community and police. | ||
| Tonight, Mayor Bill de Blasio finally agreed to just increase NYPD funding by $105 million. | ||
| The gun violence in New York City more than doubled last week. | ||
| Three people, including a four-year-old girl, were shot and injured in the Times Square. | ||
| This morning, however, at his press conference, Bill de Blasio incredibly claimed that tourists will not be deterred by the city's shocking levels of crime. | ||
| No, they're already too busy being deterred by the shocking levels of trash, and shocking levels of human excrement on the sidewalk, and shocking levels of angry, bitter city dwellers sneering at them. | ||
| There's lots of things to drive tourists away from New York City. | ||
| Crime is just a cherry on the sundae. | ||
| NBC will not air the next Golden Globes after diversity controversy. | ||
| That's right, the Golden Globes will not be airing on NBC next year, temporarily ending a decades-long relationship between the network and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the non-profit responsible for the awards. | ||
| The network announced that it would not carry the 2022 show after controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's lack of diversity and ethical questions related to financial benefits given to Sun members, such as a hotel stay in connection with an Emily in Paris junket. | ||
| These revelations, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, prompted several outlets, including Netflix, WarnerMedia, CNN's parent company, to announce that they would not participate in any Globes-related events until the issues had been adequately addressed. | ||
| Folks, they're pre-empting the fact that nobody was going to watch anyway. | ||
| By canceling the Golden Globes, they're actually competing with the Oscars for lowest ratings. | ||
| Leaked internal documents reveal Disney is pushing white employees to donate to Black Lives Matter tells them not to question black peers. | ||
| We'll talk a little bit about this later. | ||
| In one example of the extremism being pushed on their employees, Disney says that white people are forbidden from questioning or debating their black peers about their, quote, lived experience. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| French interior minister mocks letter that warns Macron of civil war. | ||
| French internal minister Gérald Darmanin has mocked a letter signed by active duty military personnel that warned President Macron of civil war consuming the country. | ||
| The letter said, a civil war is brewing in France, you know it perfectly well. | ||
| The survival of our country is in the balance. | ||
| Despite the ominously serious tone of the letter, Interior Minister Gerald Darmain mocked it by drawing attention to the number of signatures that were added after its release, a total that now runs to a quarter million people. | ||
| He says this is not serious, there will soon be more signatures than servicemen themselves. | ||
| Apparently Darmain doesn't understand the concept of an open letter. | ||
| It's like, there's not going to be a civil war. | ||
| We've already collapsed the country. | ||
| There is no France anymore. | ||
| You've already lost the war. | ||
| It's not serious because we've already won. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, welcome back, folks, to American Journal. - No. | |
| This morning, a lot to talk about. | ||
| I'm wondering where to begin. | ||
| Of course, the biggest stories of the day is the chaos going down in Israel, rockets being fired back and forth between Gaza and Israel, Palestine and Israel, and then, of course, the Colonial Pipeline shutdown. | ||
| I'm going to open up the phone lines nice and early today because we'll have a guest in the third hour. | ||
| The number to dial if you want to give us a call about either of these topics or anything else on your mind, the number to dial is 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| That's 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| 2877-789-2539. | ||
| That's 2877-789-2539. | ||
| You know, Joe Biden as president is like having a really bad tenant rent your house, isn't it? | ||
| Like you rent your house to somebody, you think they're respectable, you think they'll take good care of it, and then you come back a month later and everything is just trashed. | ||
| It's just trashed. | ||
| Totally destroyed. | ||
| Ripping copper out of the walls, the sinks are all leaking, the gas stove just doesn't work anymore. | ||
| And then you confront him and you're like, why is all this crap broken? | ||
| What happened to the stove? | ||
| The gas doesn't work anymore. | ||
| And he's like, this is your fault for not having an electric stove. | ||
| No, no, this isn't my fault for not having an electric stove. | ||
| You broke the stove. | ||
| That's your fault. | ||
| Isn't it amazing that one of the first actions in office is to shut down the Keystone Pipeline, and now we have this Colonial Pipeline shut down. | ||
| Massive gas shortages, long lines at gas stations in southeastern states, after hackers shut down the Colonial Pipeline. | ||
| You know, it's kind of like, it's kind of like how it works with, uh, I don't know, maybe this is a strange line to draw, but kind of like the Derek Chauvin trial, where they'll get their results one way or another. | ||
| They can do it through the legal way, whether that's Joe Biden signing an executive order to shut down the pipeline, or maybe you have a mysterious set of hackers hack in and shut down the pipeline. | ||
| Either way, that's what you wanted the whole time. | ||
| Kind of like Derek Chauvin. | ||
| They might lynch him through the courts by putting people on the jury that are Black Lives Matter activists and will hopefully sway the other jurors towards a guilty verdict. | ||
| But if that was to fall short, they had a mob right outside waiting, ready and willing to do the dirty work that way. | ||
| They don't care how it's done, as long as it gets done. | ||
| They don't care about this pipeline being shut down. | ||
| That's literally what they want. | ||
| And so it's just part of the ongoing collapse of America, complete systems failure across the board. | ||
| And it does. | ||
| It just reminds me of, you can just picture Joe Biden renting a house and just trashing it. | ||
| He leaves the back door open. | ||
| You have all these Mexicans coming in and trashing the place. | ||
| And he shuts down the internet, rips the copper out of the walls, just trashes the whole place. | ||
| And it's like, this is your fault. | ||
| This is your fault for renting this house to me. | ||
| This is Trump's fault, because he was here before me. | ||
| Totally absurd. | ||
| We're showing some of the videos there. | ||
| We keep rolling that as B-roll. | ||
| Gas shortages and long lines at gas stations in southeastern states are reported after hackers shut down the Colonial Pipeline, the largest U.S. | ||
| refinery. | ||
| Shuts two crude units in Port Arthur, Texas this weekend after hackers caused the Colonial Pipeline to shut down. | ||
| According to the FBI, The Dark Side hacker gang began attacking the pipeline operator on Friday and stole massive amounts of data. | ||
| The FBI confirms that the Dark Side ransomware is responsible for the compromise of the Colonial Pipeline networks. | ||
| We continue to work with the company and our government partners on the investigation, the premier law enforcement agency said in a statement on Monday. | ||
| White House officials on Monday said they have not offered advice to Colonial Pipeline on whether to pay ransom to hackers who shut down the vital U.S. | ||
| pipeline. | ||
| The Biden admin is sitting back and doing nothing after a cyber attack affected gas distribution for one-third of the country. | ||
| See, they get everything that they want. | ||
| They want less fossil fuels. | ||
| They got that. | ||
| They want Southern Americans to perhaps suffer financially for their political position. | ||
| We've seen that from corporations, hundreds of them. | ||
| Making that exact pledge to cause southeastern states economic damage because of their political maneuvers. | ||
| They want more dependence on foreign oil. | ||
| That's obvious from everything that they're doing. | ||
| In fact, there was an article from September of 2020 about the incredible new energy independence and our surplus, our bounty of oil would mean that we don't have to rely on anybody else. | ||
| Well, Less than a year later, a little more than half a year later, and gas shortages cross country. | ||
| People can't get gas. | ||
| It just goes along with the supply chain collapse that has also been a result of the lockdown policies because of COVID-19. | ||
| And best of all, they get to blame it on Russia and continue fear-mongering and war-mongering against their perennial enemies, the Russians. | ||
| That's a win-win all around for the Democrats. | ||
| What, and a bunch of Americans have to suffer? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little whipped cream on top of the sundae. | |
| That's a little bonus for them. | ||
| Everything they do makes Americans suffer. | ||
| You think that's a bad thing to them? | ||
| This is what they want. | ||
| Gas stations completely out of gas. | ||
| And again, folks, people seem to think that our system, our civilization is like, Pretty rock solid. | ||
| There are very few choke points that you can access that can cause widespread total collapse. | ||
| Just total collapse. | ||
| Complete and utter collapse. | ||
| And these gas pipelines are some of them. | ||
| Now we have a cyber attack. | ||
| And again, it's the type of thing that it seems suspicious, A, because, well, they're not doing anything to try to prevent it or get it back online. | ||
| That this was even possible is a massive failure on our part, especially after we've seen this happen in smaller scales. | ||
| Places like Florida, ransomware shutting down municipal operations in small cities across America. | ||
| You'd think maybe there'd be a little bit more protection on this vital, you know, life source, this artery of the country. | ||
| You'd think maybe there'd be a little bit more protection. | ||
| Also on top of the fact that this happens to contribute to all of the plans that they were already pursuing anyway. | ||
| You also have this. | ||
| Uh, before Biden forget peak oil, America's booming oil industry is allowed to the U S to achieve of type of energy independence, September 25th, 2020 cut to May 10th, 2021 gas shortage. | ||
| Governor Cooper declares state of emergency in North Carolina halts vehicle regulations. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Then you have this, from April 27th. | ||
| Many, many days before the hack. | ||
| Coming this summer, gas stations running out of gas. | ||
| Well, how did they know? | ||
| Gosh, how could they possibly have known that this was going to happen? | ||
| Millions of people stuck at home for more than a year, expected to hit the road in much-needed post-pandemic vacations this summer. | ||
| Good luck finding gas! | ||
| Not that there's a looming shortage of crude oil or gasoline. | ||
| Rather, it's the tranker-tuck drivers that need to deliver the gas to stations who are in short supply. | ||
| They're helping global warming. | ||
| It's a scam, folks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't even... I don't even need to know. | |
| You rent your house to the tenant. | ||
| Everything gets destroyed. | ||
| It's the tenant's fault. | ||
| It's Joe Biden. | ||

|
You're tuned in to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| In the southern part of Texas, in the town of San Antonio, there's a fortress all in ruins... Alright, welcome back. | ||
| We've got callers calling in. | ||
| Let's talk about all of this nonsense going on. | ||
| Let's go to Dustin in Las Vegas. | ||
| Read the letter, or you want to read the letter that you sent to your representative in Congress, Dustin? | ||
| Dustin in Las Vegas, you are on the air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, well, I sent this letter to Suzy Lee, representing the 3rd District of Nevada, or excuse me, of Las Vegas. | |
| And I would have worded this very different if it weren't for sending it to a representative, but I'll begin reading now. | ||
| I open it with this. | ||
| We are in the midst of a full-on propaganda war, which you yourself are not immune to. | ||
| I do not know the source for your press, but I want to make a significant distinction here to help you realize the significance of what I am saying. | ||
| There is the press, examples Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon, Chris slash Mike Wallace, in which people give opinionated responses to events of the day. | ||
| and there is news which solely concerns itself with the events of the day. | ||
| I prefer the news, but watch the press and the alternative press, due to the former being an over-censored and propagandic means. | ||
| Not since the 1850s has the media slash press been so controlled. | ||
| The House of Representatives is a relatively new concept to the world, As an extended form of governance. | ||
| In theory, you know all of the issues surrounding your district. | ||
| However, the elected position of representative has become corrupted simply due to the growth of the nation has adopted. | ||
| Many representatives are not from their own districts. | ||
| In theory, the press you read would be local and your consensuous contact you. | ||
| You rely yourself solely on these points found and go to the house to introduce them to forum. | ||
| This is what your job was supposed to be. | ||
| Many of you in positions of power are also unaware of the origins of the Constitution and your own parties. | ||
| You see, after the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress created the Articles of Confederation. | ||
| Under these Articles, the several states were not one nation, but independent sovereign states in confederation with each other, I like this, Dustin, because this is what it takes. | ||
| It's very simply explaining to our so-called leadership the foundational basis of what they're supposed to be doing. | ||
| I'd like to keep you going, but I don't know how long this letter is. | ||
| What is the topic that you're writing to them about? | ||
| Give us some background to this, Dustin. | ||
| You're writing a letter to your representative in Las Vegas. | ||
| What is your concern about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am comparing the events of January 6th to Shea's Rebellion. | |
| Ah, okay. | ||
| Giving a little historical context to it. | ||
| Is this because of something that your representative there in Las Vegas said about January 6th, or just in general, you know, what's been said about it, and this is the person that you want to talk to? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's in general. | |
| I only have one representative, and I think that if I sent this letter en masse, it wouldn't be very welcome. | ||
| And would probably be ignored by the forum there. | ||
| Well, I like that you're being proactive and actually, you know, writing a well-reasoned letter to your representative rather than, you know, either not doing anything or, you know, just sending him a bunch of curse words or something. | ||
| But I don't have too much time here, so I can't let you, you know, read the whole thing, although it sounded good. | ||
| Can you just give me sort of a 10-second wrap-up for us, Dustin? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, well, I'll read the final paragraph. | |
| I believe that Trump won the 2020 presidential election and the commercialized aspects of the Democrats, a branded conglomerate corporation masquerading as a political party, deliberately manipulated the outcome. | ||
| While this is true, I also believe the GOP have their own conspiracies and their upper echelons of organization. | ||
| Since the election of the populist Donald Trump, the press and the political sphere have been filled with lies, slander, and hyperbolic language about him and his policies. | ||
| The truth is that Donald Trump, being an experienced businessman of New York, was a member to these real-life conspiracies for decades before finally deciding to expose the corruption in both parties. | ||
| The Never Trumper movement, filled with closely aligned CIA members, along with the Very Real Spygate and the failed Mueller investigation, attempted to harm the president from doing his own job as an elected official because the establishment did not like him. | ||
| The investigation into Hunter Biden proved that the Ukrainian call which led to his first impeachment was absolutely justified. | ||
| Aside, as much as it pains me to say it, If Congress followed the letter of law on January 6th, Pelosi would be president because neither Trump nor Biden could be lawfully certified. | ||
| Now, I give you a proposal. | ||
| Looking at your voting history, you seem to be aligned with the Democrats. | ||
| However, looking at your biography and public statements, you seem to actually be rather moderate and neutral. | ||
| I propose to you, before it is too late, to consider speaking to the New Democrat Coalition, of which you are a member, and organize an independent third New Democrat Party based on the rooting out of this corruption. | ||
| Speaking against President Biden's unlawful presidency, speaking against the actions of these higher-ranking Democratic Party members, and so on. | ||
| I suggest to you that if you are successful, you don't wait to change your party to this new third prior to midterms, but change your party as soon as possible while you're a sitting member of Congress. | ||
| It's a good idea, Justin. | ||
| Sorry, I hate to cut you off, but it's a good idea and well-read. | ||
| I wouldn't hold my breath, sir, though. | ||
| I think you probably understand that the person that you're dealing with is a part of that Same machine, but I do appreciate Dustin, and I hope he actually takes the time to read your letter from their constituent, because right now the image that is presented of all Trump supporters, especially those with concerns about the election, is baseless conspiracy theorists, nutjobs, and actually I have some pretty | ||
| Interesting articles talking about that exact supposition that I'll get to a little bit later. | ||
| And it's good that you're breaking the mold by being thoughtful and convincing. | ||
| Let's go now to Johnny in Denmark, who has a white pill about COVID-19. | ||
| Thanks for calling in, Johnny. | ||
| You are on the air. | ||
| Well, actually, I have white pills for you. | ||
| Because, you know, in this Continual news stream. | ||
| There's lots of good things and lots of bad things that are happening. | ||
| And I felt based on your discouragement on some days last week, you could use some white pills. | ||
| So here are 10 of them. | ||
| How many minutes do I have, by the way? | ||
| So I know how to custom teller my two minutes. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| Now, number one, the fact that the CCDH, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, was even formed is good evidence that back in 2018, October 2018, means that there was something for them to counter, which was a good sign. | ||
| Two, the fact that there's a Dirty Dozen, actually a Dirty Bakers Dozen, because they lumped Tyne and Charlene Bollinger together, means that those people were particularly effective. | ||
| Great. | ||
| The fact that Alex Jones was glaringly, conspicuously not on that list speaks volumes. | ||
| I mean, Mercola was number one. | ||
| I'm not going to dispute that, but Alex certainly should have been on that list. | ||
| And the fact that they don't even want to mention him speaks volumes. | ||
| Four, the CCDH, Center for the Countering Digital Hate, actually had a follow-up article, the sequel, complaining to the government regulators that they weren't regulating, and about the social media platforms, that they were not enforcing their community standards. | ||
| Five, as your guest Gavin Wax so articulately and extensively articulated, Last week, it's a good thing that the Gates divorce is getting exposed. | ||
| Six, Dr. Mercola and Alex Jones basically echoed that sentiment, and even though he was the most persecuted person, number one on the list of the disinformation dozen, he said, you know, we're winning, and he threw up his hands and shouted out to Alex. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If you take a look at his website, even though he basically went to the letter of the ruling that he's not going to, or whatever, suggestion, that he not mentioned vitamin C, D, and zinc in the context of COVID-19, but he's still bashing COVID-19 in his articles. | ||
| And Melinda Gates is getting divorced, whether it's, you know, demoderation, transfer, distancing, deniability yeah you know you're right sorry we're coming up against a break here johnny but uh i appreciate your point in that you know it's like the the classic uh meme you know if if their situation if the situation was homeless their propaganda would be unnecessary the fact that they are still having to push so hard i think they may have extended uh their play a little bit too far | ||
| whatever your feet shall tread rep wherever your feet shall tread rep you said wherever your feet shall tread welcome back folks we got a lot of calls about this uh pipeline situation It's gonna move on to Israel, but a lot of people want to talk about this colonial pipeline as they are feeling the effects of the shutdown. | ||
| We'll get to your calls in just a second. | ||
| Before we do, I wanted to show the reaction from the White House as to what Colonial Pipeline should do about the hackers. | ||
| This hacker group, which is supposedly A criminal gang from Russia, a Russian-based gang group known as DarkSide, developed the ransomware, which has now halted the pipeline for four days. | ||
| And when asked about this, the White House essentially said, not our issue, not our problem. | ||
| Kind of like, it's a private corporation. | ||
| They can just go build your own pipeline. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| You know, from a Administration that talks about infrastructure like it's the Holy Grail. | ||
| Of course, when they say infrastructure, what they mean is human infrastructure, a.k.a. | ||
| socialism. | ||
| Actual infrastructure? | ||
| Actual necessary pipelines they call the jugular? | ||
| The lifeblood of the country? | ||
| Yeah, you're on your own. | ||
| That's private sort of thing. | ||
| Either the government will shut it down or they'll let hackers take care of it. | ||
| The only thing that The Biden administration is likely to do about this is aggravate for war with Russia over it. | ||
| That's probably what will happen. | ||
| Something they've wanted anyway. | ||
| Not very convenient for them. | ||
| But when asked about this, here's what the White House officials had to say. | ||
| Clip number nine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So first, we recognize that victims of cyber attacks often face a very difficult situation, and they have to just balance often the cost-benefit when they have no choice with regard to paying a ransom. | |
| Colonial is a private company, and we'll defer information regarding their decision on paying a ransom to them. | ||
| Would the administration offer any advice on whether or not to pay a ransom? | ||
| So typically, that is a private sector decision, and the administration has not offered further advice at this time. | ||
| Given the rise in ransomware, that is one area we're definitely looking at now to say what should be the government's approach to ransomware actors and to ransoms overall. | ||
| Liz? | ||
| So on the issue of gas prices, as I indicated right now, there are no supply disruptions. | ||
| And the Department of Energy's information agency, the EIA, is doing the analysis right now about potential supply disruptions and what price effects that could have. | ||
| And we're working with other agencies to consider how, if necessary, we can move supplies to a place where it might be needed if it turns out that there is a shortfall. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| My question is just to follow up on what Ana was asking. | ||
| Has the White House broadly considered advice for companies who are victimized in such incidents going forward? | ||
| Is there any advice that you're considering when it comes to paying ransom in the future? | ||
| So that's a really good question. | ||
| The first and most important advice is secure your systems. | ||
| In this case, the ransomware that was used is a known variant. | ||
| The FBI has investigated many cases of this in the past, as I noted, beginning in October. | ||
| So the first and most important thing is to ensure that systems are patched and that cybersecurity is maintained at the level needed in a given network. | ||
| We want to see ransomware not be successful and that begins with greater resilience, particularly in critical infrastructure networks. | ||
| Oh, she's so smart. | ||
| Like any advice you'd give to people who are victims of ransomware and they're like, um, our advice is don't become victims of ransomware. | ||
| Oh, okay, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for that. | ||
| For those platitudes, for that nothingness that you just spouted. | ||
| Thank you for absolutely nothing. | ||
| Okay, it's just, it's just incredible. | ||
| Experts are warning that the shutdown could spike gas prices already up six cents a gallon in the last week. | ||
| Some gas stations in states like North Carolina, where the governor has declared a state of emergency, and Virginia are already out of fuel. | ||
| Airlines are affected as well. | ||
| On Monday, American Airlines announced that some non-stop flights from Charlotte, North Carolina, will now make stops to get fuel where there's more supply. | ||
| But Biden said, quote, so far, there's no evidence based on from our intelligence people that Russia is involved, although there's evidence that the actors ransomware is in Russia. | ||
| They have some responsibility to deal with this, just like no evidence. | ||
| And it's no evidence that's from Russia. | ||
| We're going to go ahead and assume that it is Russia. | ||
| We're going to talk to Russia about it. | ||
| And even if it's not Russia, they hold some some responsibility for this. | ||
| So we will be launching a war against them regardless. | ||
| That's what we wanted. | ||
| Anyway, obviously. | ||
| Truly incredible. | ||
| So we have a few callers who are dealing with this. | ||
| Nick in Florida says it is bad in that state. | ||
| Thanks for calling in, Nick. | ||
| You are on the air. | ||

|
Hey, Mr. Harrison. | |
| I got a couple quick points in that work here. | ||
| All right. | ||
| What it actually is, is the first attack that happened was against Texas with the storm because they were mad at Alex Jones and he was gaining all that momentum. | ||
| The second attack that's affecting Florida here with the gas, anyone who believes that it was a hack or the FBI is out looking for these people, that they don't know who did it, is absolutely in another world right now, okay? | ||
| We all know that the dark side is basically a name, it's just the name of the whole satanic movement that they're in, the dark side hackers hack, and now all of a sudden they don't know who it is and the FBI, who There's been leading crusade against the people is somehow going to help us figure out who's doing all these attacks on time, as they basically said they were going to do. | ||
| I think the key to stopping all this, actually, what a lot of people are missing is that they've taken over all the voting and electoral systems. | ||
| So what we actually need to do is the next election in the blue states. | ||
| What my theory is, I think no one in the midterms should actually vote. | ||
| And that way, we'll let all these governors, mayors, everyone else, senators know that they're not going to have the back from the American people, and it's going to force them. | ||
| They're going to be so scared into voting for tighter voting regulations. | ||
| Now, why they actually fear Alex Jones is because he is the most powerful people, person in the country right now, more powerful than Trump. | ||
| If it wasn't for Alex Jones, All of those rallies wouldn't even have happened. | ||
| People wouldn't even have shown out. | ||
| And that's why President Trump needs to get in line, because it's going to get far worse this summer. | ||
| And people need to realize that Alex Jones in Infowars actually has the real power, because Alex Jones is the only person in the country that can call for a million to two million people to amass at any time. | ||
| These globalists need to realize we are the biggest army in the world, and we will roll over them at any given time. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of good points you're making there and I have to agree with pretty much all of them. | ||
| I'm bummed I haven't had a chance to look more into this dark side group so far that the FBI has confirmed is responsible for the attack on Monday. | ||
| Saying that DarkSide issued an apology for the attack. | ||
| The group said it would introduce moderation and avoid social consequences in the future and insisted that it was entirely profit-driven and apolitical in a statement posted to the dark web, according to Vice. | ||
| Quote, we are apolitical. | ||
| We do not participate in geopolitics. | ||
| Do not need to tie us with a defined government and look for our motives. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Our goal is to make money, not creating problems for society. | ||
| From today, we introduce moderation and check each company that our partners want to encrypt to avoid social consequences in the future. | ||
| Oh, so they're social justice hackers. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| Although the attack has prompted concerns about gas pipelines, official says there are currently no U.S. | ||
| gas shortages. | ||
| What? | ||
| It's literally video of... | ||
| People lined up around gas stations and gas stations without money in North Carolina declaring a state of emergency. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| There's no gas shortage. | ||
| They're sending tankers from Europe full of fuel to make up for the gas shortage that there is. | ||
| Isn't that interesting? | ||
| They're just like, we are not a part of a foreign country and do not look into that. | ||
| There is no need to look into whether or not we are a part of a foreign nation and whether this is a geopolitical thing. | ||
| It's definitely not. | ||
| We totally don't want that. | ||
| Definitely don't look into that. | ||
| Really, really incredible. | ||
| Yeah, no evidence to link the attack with the Russian government, but we believe the country had some responsibility to deal with the issue. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| White House, no responsibility to deal with this issue. | ||
| That's a private affair. | ||
| Russia, however, must pay for this. | ||
| Colonial Pipeline is continuing to work in partnership with third-party cybersecurity experts, law enforcement, and other federal agencies to restore pipeline operations quickly and safely, the company said in a statement. | ||
| While the situation remains fluid and continues to evolve, the Colonial Operations Team is executing a plan that involves an incremental process that will facilitate a return to service in a phased approach. | ||
| I'm... I'm absolutely sure. | ||
| Total coincidence. | ||
| That this is happening while the Middle East is exploding into flames. | ||
| I'm completely sure that our dependency on foil and oil has nothing to do with this. | ||
| I'm totally sure geopolitics was not a concern of this hacker group. | ||
| And the FBI, they're definitely on it. | ||

| A lot of folks like to dress up in leather outfits and ride around on their motorcycles and tell everybody how they're big outlaws. | ||
| A lot of guys like to get into jujitsu and, you know, get in great shape and learn how to fight really well, and that's great. | ||
| I think that's fine. | ||
| In fact, I like all that. | ||
| Because we need to be extremely male in a society trying to tell us to be little passive slaves of the system. | ||
| But I'd really like to see all the tough guy men out there Spend a little less time hanging out with other dudes, acting tough, and a little more time being politically engaged. | ||
| Now I know when you do that, you get put in prison like the Proud Boys. | ||
| Or you get attacked like InfoWars, but I really need all those tough guys. | ||
| They get engaged. | ||
| And I know Rolling Thunder's a lot of great veterans and patriots that like their fun motorcycles. | ||
| Motorcycles are awesome. | ||
| Pentagon said, you're not welcome here, Rolling Thunder, this year. | ||
| That's because our country's been taken over by the chi-coms and the globalists. | ||
| And it really is happening. | ||
| And they really are destabilizing the country. | ||
| And they're going to mask the coming economic collapse that's already begun. | ||
| with racial riots this summer that are gonna really make even the burning down of Detroit and other cities in the 1960s pale in significance. | ||

|
I don't think it's right for my people to act the way that they're acting. | |
| This is all I can say about the thing, because we're fighting one war now in Vietnam, and we're losing, as it is. | ||
| So, I mean, why should we come back here and fight a war among ourselves? | ||
| As we speak, the puppet president of the O'Harris administration, it really is Obama and then their puppet Harris, Biden, can't even read off a teleprompter most of the time now, unless he's particularly hopped up on amphetamines in the morning. | ||
| And he's saying, oh, I didn't think we'd turn things around from COVID and the economy right away. | ||
| That's why we need more stimulus. | ||
| Since I've been here, the economy is at 500,000 jobs per month. | ||
| This is progress. | ||
| And it's a testament to our new strategy of growing this economy from the bottom up and the middle out. | ||

The White House went on the defensive yesterday after the lowest monthly jobs report since President Biden took office. | |
| We knew this wouldn't be a sprint. | ||
| It'd be a marathon. | ||

Employers added just 266,000 jobs in April, dramatically less than the million most economists had projected. | |
| In fact, as soon as I heard he was giving a speech 10 minutes ago, I said, let me guess, in a transcript, he'll say the answer is more stimulus. | ||
| Well, no, that's why people won't go to work, because they're getting a check. | ||
| They go buy things, and then that makes prices go up, and scarce commodities, because no one is growing the crops. | ||
| We're delivering the cattle to slaughter, or building the microchips, or cutting down the timber, or growing the corn, or smelting the steel. | ||
| That's why steel tripled in prices the last few months. | ||
| That's why corn's up 80% in the last few months, set to triple. | ||
| That's why food prices are set to be up 76% by the end of summer. | ||
| Current purchases around the world of crops going in, there's such a scarcity. | ||
| People are buying the crops before they're even planted. | ||
| I've got all that data here. | ||
| I told you last year, when the first world collapses, the third world dies. | ||
| Then the UN will organize that giant third world collapse to break our borders, to flood us, and they'll have a giant underclass permanently controlled, and that's in the globalist documents. | ||

We were already calculating 135 million people around the world before COVID. | |

| Biden, dementia's dictator in the topics that we're covering today, fall right in line with exactly what Alex was saying there. | ||
| It is controlled demolition of the American economy, controlled demolition of the American civilization, total collapse on all fronts, total systems collapse. | ||
| Everything from basic infrastructure to the very population. | ||
| Fertility collapse. | ||
| Fertility down 4% or something in a single year. | ||

| Now, we'll get back to the gas pipelines. | ||
| I know a lot of our callers want to talk about that, but for the moment, let's talk about our other biggest story of the day, which is the conflict in Israel. | ||
| Where does this all begin? | ||
| Where does it go back to? | ||
| What is this particular conflict stemming from? | ||
| Well, without giving a massive history lesson, let's start with the primary concerns. | ||
| This happened on Sunday. | ||
| Israeli Supreme Court delayed on Sunday a decision On whether to expel six Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem after the Attorney General requested more time in part because of the tensions that the case has stirred. | ||
| The court was to decide on Monday whether to uphold an expulsion under expulsion orders for the families in the Palestinian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem in a hearing that many feared would set off a wave of unrest. | ||
| Instead, the case was delayed up to 30 days to allow the Attorney General to review it. | ||
| For many Palestinians, the family's plight has become emblematic of a wider effort to remove Palestinians from parts of Jerusalem and of the past displacement of Arabs in the occupied territories and within Israel. | ||
| Since the start of the month, the prospect of the evictions has prompted daily protests, arrests, and confrontations between Palestinians and the Israeli police and Jewish extremists. | ||
| So let's stop here for a moment and go to this quick video of an Israeli explaining the expulsion process. | ||
| After all, again, on the topic of the expulsions, for one of the affected residents, the Supreme Court decision provided little relief. | ||
| One man's family, who's under threat of eviction, says this was merely a delay. | ||
| He said they did little to prevent the wider expulsion of hundreds of other Palestinian families from homes in East Jerusalem, which many Palestinians consider a form of ethnic cleansing. | ||
| Some rights groups view as a form of apartheid, and the United Nations Rights Agency says it's a potential war crime. | ||
| So here's what that looks like from an Israeli on the ground actually helping with these evictions. | ||
| Let's roll the tape. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We take house after house. | |
| All this area will be a Jewish neighborhood. | ||
| We are not finished the job. | ||
| We are going to the next neighborhood and after that we will go more. | ||
| Our dream that all East Jerusalem I see this as a continuation of the Zionist project, the return to Zion. | ||
| Is it at the Arabs' expense? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But our government institutions were also built at the expense of Arabs who lived here. | |
| And so was the state itself. | ||
| So, there you go. | ||
| If you want to make a case for ethnic cleansing, I think you have all the evidence you need right there. | ||
| So this is what sort of set the table for the tensions, and then tensions reached a peak at the Aska Mosque compound in Jerusalem on Friday night, where police officers threw stun grenades and fired rubber-coated bullets as worshippers attempted to pray. | ||
| The worshippers threw bottles and stones. | ||
| Some of the stun grenades landed in the mosque. | ||
| We actually have a video of what that looked like. | ||
| Clip number six. | ||
| Let's go now to this video of Israeli forces showering Palestinian worshippers inside the mosque with gas bombs and stun grenades. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. - Yeah. | ||
| They say up to 20,000 Palestinian homes across the city are under threat of demolition, according to an organization known as Peace Now. | ||
| Restrictions on building permits in East Jerusalem have forced Palestinian residents to either leave the city or to build illegal housing vulnerable to demolition orders. | ||
| Now, Jerusalem, you may know or may have Gathered from this article is just about split in half with East Jerusalem serving as the capital of Palestine. | ||
| And it's that East Jerusalem that is now being cleared of Arabs and all of these Palestinian Arabs who were there and who've lived there for a while and are now being evicted by the Israeli government. | ||
| They don't really have anybody to turn to, so of course they turn to Hamas, the terror organization. | ||
| Now, this all was aggravated, you might say, when activists For the returning to the mountain movement, tried to break through the entrance gate to the Temple Mount. | ||
| I guess there's, it's a Jerusalem Day celebration. | ||
| They usually march into East Jerusalem. | ||
| And because of the tensions that were sort of already heightened because of this, the expulsion of these Palestinian families, the Israeli government said, no, you're not going to be allowed to march through East Jerusalem. | ||
| This year and the activists were not happy about that. | ||
| Here's clip number three. | ||
| Here's activists for this movement trying to break through the entrance gate to the Temple Mount. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're trying to break. | |
| break in sort of in a show of force against the Muslims there on the Temple Mount. | ||
| The Temple Mount actually caught fire, and there's video of that. | ||
| Let's go to clip number five. | ||
| Here's fire on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem with the mosque there, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, burning in the background and in the foreground. | ||
| Crowds of Israelis waving Israeli flags and celebrating and dancing as the mosque burns. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| Not a lot of audio there, but you can see the cheering and dancing as the mosque burns there. | ||
| I don't quite have time to show this next video, but this is what got us to where we are today. | ||
| So you have This court delay of the expulsions of Palestinian families being aggravated by the March for Jerusalem Day, I suppose, the attack on al-Aqsa Mosque, and now you have Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip firing rockets towards Jerusalem on Monday, and a major escalation after hundreds of Palestinians were hurt during earlier clashes with Israeli forces at a site sacred to both Muslims and Jews. | ||
| Israel responded by attacking Hamas targets in Gaza, where health officials said 20 people, including nine children, were killed during the exchange, including one child under the age of 10. | ||
| The rockets came on the anniversary of Israel's capture of the Old City of Jerusalem and certain neighborhoods in the 1967 Six-Day War. | ||
| Explosions and air raid sirens were heard in Jerusalem after Hamas set a deadline for Israel to remove its security forces from flashpoints in Jerusalem and release Palestinians detained in the latest clashes. | ||
| The Israeli Defense Forces, or IDF, said 45 missiles were filed into Israel, when the organization's spokesperson called a blatant, severe attack by Hamas. | ||
| And then, of course, they respond with air raids and killing a couple children. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Why not? | ||
| We'll expand on this a little bit more on the other side. | ||
| It's a long, long-running theme of Israeli conflict here. | ||
| Welcome to America's Response, on the other side as well. | ||
| Stay with us, folks. | ||
| Folks, welcome back to American General InfoWars.com and Band.Video. | ||
| Reporting here on the goings-on around the world. | ||
| As the collapse that America itself is experiencing is not isolated, it is a worldwide collapse, it seems, in many ways. | ||
| But I do think it's amazing how Republicans and Democrats in the halls of power, politicians in Washington, D.C. | ||
| will bitterly disagree on just about everything. | ||
| They pretend to, at least, right? | ||
| And we know that behind the scenes, they really agree on quite a few things. | ||
| As long as they're negative for America, they can all come together on certain topics. | ||
| But in general, it's a pretty bitter divide with Democrats often going out of their way to call Republicans domestic terrorists, try to eject them from the halls of power, all sorts of conflict. | ||
| and argumentation and disagreements, except when it comes to Israel. | ||
| Except when it comes to Israel. | ||
| In which case, the only really dissenting voices are members of the Squad, which is kind of strange. | ||
| But then again, the Squad is obsessed with race and are, of course, going to respond to whatever conflict is taking place along racial lines. | ||
| Now, as far as I'm concerned, conflict in Jerusalem, the race aspect, doesn't hold a lot of weight for me. | ||
| I couldn't care less about the races of these people. | ||
| But in general, when I'm looking at conflicts around the country, I'm on the side of the underdog, not the aggressors. | ||
| Maybe instead of Israeli soldiers training American police officers, maybe American police officers need to go train Israeli soldiers – Maybe they need to learn how to kneel. | ||
|

|
We'll see. | |
| It is interesting though, isn't it? | ||
| The one thing that can bring our government together is unquestioning, unwavering loyalty to a foreign nation. | ||
|

|
What a weird situation we're in. | |
| Let's go out to the phone calls, shall we? | ||
| We have a lot of people calling in about all sorts of disseparate topics. | ||
| Tim from California wants to talk about mad scientists, of all things. | ||
| Great, I'm for it. | ||
| Thanks for calling in, Tim. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're on the air. | |
| Good morning, Harrison. | ||
| Yeah, that's the whole thing is there's so many of these things that you trace it back to the roots and it's just these people are off the rails. | ||
| And I remember even as a child, you'd see the black and white movies or the cartoons and there was always the mad scientist. | ||
| You know, and I'm just thinking, well, what happens is kind of like in the Godfather where they check Michael for the gun. | ||
| Then he goes to the bathroom and he comes out with a gun. | ||
| He blows him away. | ||
| It's like, how did that happen? | ||
| Well, because you checked it and you thought, well, I checked it. | ||
| It's OK. | ||
| I know, for instance, Owen has done a real good deep dive of this four or five years ago, checking out CERN, C-E-R-N, CERN, and, you know, the Large Hadron Collider. | ||
| And even back in 2016, the Wall Street Journal published, Are They Seeking Secrets of the Universe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or Maybe Opening the Portal of Hell? | |
| And this is really it. | ||
| They're looking for other dimensions and all this stuff. | ||
| And then they freely admit, yeah, we're trying to make contacts with other dimensions. | ||
| And yet renowned physicist Stephen Hawking's told him, hey, man, you don't get it, man. | ||
| This thing could just instantly end the whole universe. | ||
| And you guys are just playing around with this. | ||
| This is not good. | ||
| And hey, I'm an atheist, but don't do this. | ||
| And you think, well, OK, they're just playing around and we're busy looking at all this other stuff. | ||
| They had a 20-mile diameter Hadron Collider, but now, hey, China's building one, too, and they might have already got it built by now, for all I know. | ||
| This is back in 2016, they were on it. | ||
| And now, they got approval during this pandemic back in the summer. | ||
| They're now laying plans for them right at that same site to build a 62 mile diameter one that's more than four or five times more powerful. | ||
| So what are these people up to? | ||
| And I think if you look back to the 2008 origin and you kind of lay that template on top of all the stuff that's going on now and you compare it, I mean, I don't want to, I don't know if you want to get biblical or whatever, but I mean, I mean, these people, they, they put right out at the, at the entrance of this thing, Some strange god, you know, with all these arms and stuff. | ||
| It's, uh, a Hindu god, Lord Shiva, the god of destruction. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, uh, this sort of thing. | ||
| So these people, they might be opening a bottomless pit. | ||
| In the book of Revelation, the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto earth, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit, and he opened the bottomless pit. | ||
| There came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth and I'm thinking that's basically what's happening now is all the other half of people, it's not necessarily Republican and Democrat, it's creation versus destruction. | ||
| It's God versus Satan. | ||
| I think these clowns might have just very well opened a pit of hell and I can't teach you about it but you could bring talented guests on or maybe Owen can go back and tell you what he knows but we've got to go back and look at this again because Yeah, and of course we've seen the hidden camera video of the people at CERN holding a very strange ceremony at that statue of Shiva the Destroyer and there was even another | ||
| There's another image posted recently, I'm blanking on what exactly the context was, but I want to say it was like a meeting of either the World Economic Forum or Davos Group, or it may have been a John Hopkins thing with COVID-19 Working Group, and it's a bunch of very important people sitting around a room with that same statue in the background. | ||
| So there's certainly something going on here, something that they are not particularly open about. | ||
| And it is rather suspicious that they're building so many more of these things. | ||
| I don't even know what ostensibly they are trying to look for or do with these massive things. | ||
| I mean, do you have any insight into this, Tim? | ||
| Well, thanks for bringing it up. | ||
| I'm informed that now they actually have informed the world we have been able to capture a grain of dark matter. | ||
| And apparently one grain of dark matter is equivalent to three Hiroshima's. | ||
| So each Hiroshima could have nine grams. | ||
| fizzle material, which could make that an amazing event. | ||
| So you've got 27 grams of fizzle material, 27 grams, and it made these three horrific explosions, and yet just one grain of this. | ||
| But don't worry, they've got it all contained, right? | ||
| Do you see what a great job they do of containing these viruses? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Don't worry. | ||
| Leave it up to the experts. | ||
| Trust the science. | ||
| I'm just saying, I really am convinced that I can't explain it to you because I'm not preacher, I'm not a scientist, but I'm convinced that they've done something evil. | ||
| And I think if you go and you start researching this further, you're going to find that there's a lot of people in agreement with me. | ||
| They've done something horribly evil. | ||
| And the evil thing they've done is what's causing everyone to be half crazy. | ||
| You got half the people who just act like they just don't even observe reality anymore. | ||
| It's like, why aren't you living in the same reality as the rest of us? | ||
| How could you possibly be this brainwashed? | ||
| And it's because, you know, he that is Satan, he is the great deceiver. | ||
| You know, he's come to rob, kill, and destroy. | ||
| He's the author of all lies. | ||
| Look at this mess we're in. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And at its base, it is a spiritual conflict. | ||
| And you're right, it's between truth and lies. | ||
| It's between good and evil. | ||
| And the people... Creation and destruction. | ||
| Creation, destruction. | ||
| Very well said, sir. | ||
| Thanks so much for the call, Tim. | ||
| Tim, that was great. | ||

You're watching the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch live right now at band.video. | ||
| All right, folks, we'll go back to your calls in just a moment. | ||
| Before I do, I want to, uh, a couple more stories that I would like to cover here and get out. | ||
| Very interesting publication here from MIT. | ||
| Twitter user named Kami Lee Jones posted this. | ||
| It's very interesting. | ||
| MIT researchers infiltrated a COVID skeptics community a few months ago and found that skeptics place a high premium on data analysis and empiricism. | ||
| Most fundamentally, the groups we studied, they say, believe that science is a process, not an institution. | ||
| Here's some quotes from the findings of this infiltration of the COVID skeptics group. | ||
| Quote, Indeed, anti-maskers often reveal themselves to be more sophisticated in their understanding of how scientific knowledge is socially constructed than their ideological adversaries, who espouse naive realism about the, quote, objective truth of public health data. | ||
| Isn't that interesting? | ||
| Anti-maskers often reveal themselves to be more sophisticated in their understanding of how scientific knowledge is socially constructed than their ideological adversaries. | ||
| See, people who don't just willfully scarf down any scrap of supposed fact without questioning it, yeah, they're the skeptics. | ||
| They actually understand that Science can be manipulated by the mainstream media and the perception of science can be very carefully managed by the media into projecting or appearing to show things that the actual science doesn't actually show. | ||
| Meanwhile, on the other side, the maskers show a naive realism about the objective truth of public health data. | ||
| In other words, they just assume that whatever Propagandistic nonsense is being spewed at them is probably the truth, and they just go with that. | ||
| You didn't need to infiltrate these groups to find that out. | ||
| I could have told you that. | ||
| Here are some other quotes from this study. | ||
| Quote, in other words, anti-maskers value unmediated access to information and privilege personal research and direct reading over experts' interpretations. | ||
| Yes, the anti-maskers are the people that actually want to see the science. | ||
| They actually want to decide for themselves. | ||
| They actually want to be approached with an argument that they can evaluate by its merits rather than being dictated, here is the truth, you are not allowed to question it. | ||
| Meanwhile, the people on the other side, they don't value so much unmediated access to information. | ||
| They want to trust the experts and the experts' interpretations. | ||
| They trust it so much, they think you shouldn't be allowed to question it. | ||
| The study continues, quote, its members value individual initiative and ingenuity, trusting scientific analysis only insofar as they can replicate it themselves by accessing and manipulating the data firsthand. | ||
| Yeah, once again, just telling us something, not enough. | ||
| We have to be able to see your proof, show your work. | ||
| Tell us why you're telling us to do this sort of stuff. | ||
| And it continues, quote, they're highly reflexive about the inherently biased nature of any analysis and resent what they view as the arrogant self-righteousness of scientific elites. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The priest class, the scientific elite priest class who demand that they not be able to be questioned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think this is great. | |
| MIT just really, really making the argument for us. | ||
| It continues quote many of the users believe the most important metrics are missing from government release data One user wrote coding data is a big deal and those definitions. | ||
| We should be I'm sorry, and those definitions should be offered transparently by every state without national guideline. | ||
| We are left with this mess Yet again the anti maskers shown to be the true Pro-science party. | ||
| The anti-maskers are the ones that actually want to see the information and actually want to understand exactly how this information is being manipulated by whoever, by the people gathering the information or the people relaying this information. | ||
| I guess the pro-maskers just don't understand that the method by which you gather information is or should be subject to scrutiny. | ||
| The various variables that might go in to certain information needs to be looked at and evaluated. | ||
| The promaskers just think whatever they tell us, it's true. | ||
| And whatever the bad thing is that they're warning about is inevitable if we don't listen to them. | ||
| The paper is called Viral Visualizations, How Coronavirus Skeptics Use Data Practices to Promote Unorthodox Science. | ||
| Unorthodox science. | ||
| Science that goes against science with a trademark behind it. | ||
| Here's the abstract from it. | ||
| Controversial understandings of the coronavirus pandemic have turned data visualizations into a battleground. | ||
| Defying public health officials, coronavirus skeptics on U.S. | ||
| social media spent much of 2020 creating data visualizations showing that the government's pandemic response was excessive and that the crisis was over. | ||
| This paper investigates how pandemic visualizations circulated on social media and shows people who mistrust the scientific establishment. | ||
| Something, something, something, something. | ||
| And it's absolutely true. | ||
| I mean, clearly, the anti-maskers have been proven right. | ||
| The projections that were used to justify the insane lockdowns were proven to be inaccurate. | ||
| And now, with this story about 350,000 cancer diagnoses being missed because of the COVID lockdowns, we see that, in fact, the lockdowns themselves are likely more deadly than the Disease will actually be. | ||
| And there's some more uncertainty that has been injected into some of these COVID numbers. | ||
| In fact, the New York Times has an article misleading CDC COVID number. | ||
| When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidelines last month for mask wearing, it announced that less than 10% of COVID-19 transmission was occurring outdoors. | ||
| Media organizations repeated this statistic and it quickly became the standard description of the frequency of outdoor transmission. | ||
| Because as we saw in that MIT study, once they say something, it just becomes reality for these people. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's just, you know, they say something and it gets repeated by the mainstream media. | ||
| Suddenly it's in the general universal mindset of the people who receive it. | ||
| And then it becomes unquestionable. | ||
| It just simply becomes the truth. | ||
| In fact, NPR had an article yesterday saying, actually the real number of COVID deaths is probably 900,000 in America. | ||
| Totally ridiculous, right? | ||
| Right now they're saying a little less than 500,000 people died from COVID in America, and that number has been shown to be completely inflated, counting any death even remotely associated with COVID as a COVID death. | ||
| Deaths that clearly were not caused by COVID, counted as COVID deaths. | ||
| PCR tests, determining whether somebody's positive or not. | ||
| Massive false positives on that until Joe Biden got into office. | ||
| Then they stopped counting things that way, too. | ||
| So, you can see the big drop-off of numbers. | ||
| But it is less than 10%. | ||
| In fact, it's less than 1%. | ||
| This appears to be based partly on a misclassification of some COVID transmission that actually took place in enclosed places. | ||
| An even bigger issue is the extreme caution of CDC officials who picked a benchmark 10% so high that nobody could reasonably dispute it. | ||
| That benchmark, quote, seems to be a huge exaggeration. | ||
| As Dr. Muge Civic, a virologist at the University of St. | ||
| Andrews said, in truth, the share of transmission that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1% and may be below 0.1%. | ||
| So technically, they're correct. | ||
| It is under 10%. | ||
| It's way under 10%. | ||
| It may be under 1%. | ||
| It may be under 1%. It may be under one-tenth of 1% transmission outdoors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Truly incredibly. | |
| In fact, this article goes on to say, there is not a single documented COVID infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions, such as walking past somebody on the street or eating at a nearby table. | ||
| So when the CDC hears that there's not a single documented COVID infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interaction, the way they interpret that and reissue it is less than 10% of COVID transmission was occurring outdoors. | ||
| Why would they lie? | ||
| Why would they inflate this number? | ||
| Why would they want you to think that 10% or up to 10% of COVID transmission occurred outdoors? | ||
| Keep you inside. | ||
| Quotes from this article, or this study, rather, by MIT are truly, truly interesting. | ||
| I just want to read a few more for you here. | ||
| Quote, the lack of transparency within this data collection system, which many of these users infer as a lack of honesty, erodes these users' trust within both government institutions and the data sets they release. | ||
| In fact, there are multiple threads every week where users debate how representative the data are of the population, given the increased rate of testing across many states. | ||
| These groups argue that the conflation of asymptomatic and symptomatic cases therefore makes it difficult for anyone to actually determine the severity of the pandemic. | ||
| For these anti-mask users, their approach to the pandemic is grounded in more scientific rigor, not less. | ||
| I think that quote alone is of the utmost importance. | ||
| For these anti-mask users, their approach to the pandemic is grounded in more scientific rigor, not less. | ||
| We're saying prove it to us. | ||
| Show us your work. | ||
| When you say that there are more Positive cases is that because you have increased testing and so the number of positive cases has increased in kind or is this actually representative of an increase in the severity of the pandemic about asking these type of analytical questions of the data sets that are presented shows more scientific rigor not less in the skeptical or you know less gullible | ||
| Less credulous members of American society. | ||
| And continues, quote, these individuals as a whole are extremely willing to help others who have trouble interpreting graphs with multiple forms of clarification. | ||
| By helping people find the original sources so that they can replicate the analysis themselves or by referencing other reputable studies. | ||
| That come to the same conclusion by reminding others to remain vigilant about the limitations of the data and by answering questions about the implications of a specific graph. | ||
| While these groups highly value scientific expertise, they also see collective analysis of data as a way to bring communities together within a time of crisis and being able to transparently and dispassionately analyze the data is crucial for democratic governance. | ||
| This is just vindication after vindication. | ||
| Because that's absolutely true. | ||
| If you are a democratic operating government, if you have a say in the operation of your government, you need the correct data and you need the correct interpretation of that data. | ||
| So you need to go through it with a fine tooth comb, need to imagine or, you know, research into all of the various implications that could be drawn from the data and really get into it on a technical level. | ||
| Meanwhile, everybody else is wear your mask or you want grandma to die bigot, right? | ||
| These are the two sides of the argument. | ||
| In fact, the explicit motivation for many of these followers is to find information so that they can make the best decisions for their families and by extension for the communities around them. | ||
| The message that runs through these threads is unequivocal. | ||
| That data is the only way to set fear-bound politicians straight. | ||
| And using better data is a surefire way towards creating a safer community. | ||
| The message that runs through these threads is unequivocal. | ||
| That data is the only way to set fear-bound politicians straight. | ||
| And using better data is a surefire way towards creating a safer community. | ||
| Well, that sounds like something that gets kicked off of Twitter. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| That'll get you kicked off Twitter. | ||
| Questioning things. | ||
| Asking about data. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| The fear is what they want. | ||
| The fear is what they desire. | ||
| The fear is what you must submit to. | ||
| Data literacy is a quintessential criterion for membership within the community they have created. | ||
| Unlike CNN. | ||
| Unlike the mainstream media. | ||
| Unlike leftists. | ||
| Unlike the pro-maskers. | ||
| Where data literacy is seen as an unforgivable sin. | ||
| Just accept it. | ||
| Be fearful. | ||
| Be angry. | ||
| Be scared. | ||
| Arguing anti-maskers need more scientific literacy is to characterize their approach as uninformed and inexplicably extreme. | ||
| This study shows the opposite. | ||
| They are deeply invested in forms of critique and knowledge production they recognize as markers of scientific expertise. | ||
| Bravo, MIT! | ||
| I argue that the anti-maskers deep story draws from similar wells of resentment, but adds a particular emphasis on the usurpation of scientific knowledge by a paternalistic, condescending elite that expects intellectual subservience rather than critical thinking from the public. | ||
| Bravo, MIT. | ||
| That is so unbelievably well said. | ||
| And you're right. | ||
| This can be associated with other movements. | ||
| In fact, I would say all of this applies precisely to the questioning of the 2020 election. | ||
| It's the same thing, whether it's masks or the election. | ||
| One side is actually asking questions. | ||
| One side wants the data. | ||
| One side wants the analysis to be discussed. | ||
| Dissected and explained and well understood from every different angle. | ||
| They want the truth and they want the truth so that they can make the best decision for themselves. | ||
| That's on one side. | ||
| On the other side are the people that say you should not be allowed to question the dictates of either the scientific or the political consensus. | ||
| Questioning things is a sign of being a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| In fact, in some cases, it might make you a domestic terrorist or domestic terrorist sympathizer, asking these sorts of questions, wondering about the data, actually wanting to know for yourself, actually wanting to be informed for yourself so that you can make the correct That other side says you're not allowed to make the decision. | ||
| They will make the decision for you and you will obey unquestioningly. | ||
| It's the two sides of the argument, whether it's with masks or with things like the election of 2020. | ||
| I think that is absolutely incredible. | ||
| Arguing anti-maskers need more specific scientific, I'm sorry, arguing that anti-maskers need more scientific literacy is to characterize their approach as uninformed and inexplicably extreme. | ||
| Arguing that people who question the election need more scientific or more political literacy is to characterize their approach as uninformed and inexplicably extreme. | ||
| The extremists. | ||
| Inexplicable. | ||
| Baseless. | ||
| Debunked! | ||
| No, none of these things. | ||
| We want the data. | ||
| The study shows the opposite. | ||
| They are deeply invested in forms of critique and knowledge production they recognize as markers of scientific expertise. | ||
| Verbatim could be applied directly to Questioning of the 2020 election. | ||
| But again, this is the theme that we're experiencing here. | ||
| If you question things, if you want to know for yourself, if you want to decide for yourself, you are bad, you must be destroyed, you must be silenced. | ||
| Big Tech is there to carry out those orders. | ||
| We argue, they say, that the anti-masker's deep story draws from similar wells of resentment. | ||
| We mentioned that earlier. | ||
| And yet the conclusion they lament is, quote, the skeptical impulse that the science simply isn't settled, prompting people to simply think for themselves to horrifying ends. | ||
| Then they compare it to the January 6th Capitol riot. | ||
| Bizarre and fascinating document. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| They even do it themselves. | ||
| They even notice themselves the shared desires of COVID-19 skeptics and The skeptics that were there on January 6th protesting the election. | ||
| One side wants more data. | ||
| One side wants things to be explained. | ||
| One side wants to think for themselves and to make decisions for themselves. | ||
| The other side is unquestioning, subservient, well-controlled sycophants, servants, slaves, mind slaves of the global elite. | ||
| I think that's absolutely incredible. | ||
| Folks, I'm going to be joined in the next hour by Drew Mason, special guest sponsor and principal at St. | ||
| Joseph Partners and has helped us to create InfoWarsGold.com. | ||
| We'll be bringing him into studio for the entirety of the next hour. | ||
| We'll be taking your calls during that time as well. | ||
| Here in the last minute here of this hour, I want to play this video. | ||
| It's a spokesperson from China talking about Whether the U.S. | ||
| truly defends freedom or not. | ||
| It's clip number eight. | ||
| Here's the Chinese spokesperson really exposing America's hypocrisies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some in the U.S. | |
| smear and attack China under the pretext of freedom of the press. | ||
| This in itself is an insult to the real freedom of the press. | ||
| If they really believe in freedom, why do they allow themselves to mislead others and not allow others to tell the truth? | ||
| Why did Julian Assange have to spend seven years at Ecuador embassy? | ||
| Why was he sent to prison? | ||
| Wow, a lot to unpack there, isn't there? | ||
| It is funny though. | ||
| It is humorous. | ||
| the US respect and accept coexistence of other civilizations and systems? | ||
| Why does it surprise people who have different views? | ||
| Why does it deprive other countries of their rights and freedom for normal development? | ||
| Wow, a lot to unpack there, isn't there? | ||
| It is funny though. | ||
| It is humorous. | ||
| You have to admit, it's a good bit by China. | ||
| Communist China coming out and saying, why doesn't America have a free press? | ||
| Why don't they allow dissenting views? | ||
| Meanwhile, dissenters in China are just like strapped to wooden chairs and just being like shocked with cattle prods. | ||
| So make no mistake, China, you're nobody to talk. | ||
| You can shut the hell up. | ||
| If China had been in charge during January 26, all those peaceful protesters, Would have been literally crushed to death under tank treads until they were a bloody stew and then they would have been washed down the drain. | ||
| That's what happened in Tiananmen Square. | ||
| So China, you can shut the hell up. | ||
| But hey, they make a good point. | ||
| America really doesn't have a right to say anything else when they're treating Julian Assange like that. | ||

| If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it, alright? | ||
| And I could be speaking figuratively, I could be speaking literally, it's a matter of interpretation. | ||
| COVID-19, Dr. Fauci's gain-of-function research biological weapon, was just the beginning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But what you have to ask Dr. Fauci is, why did he, in overseeing these labs, allow gain-of-function? | |
| Why is he allowing labs to get government money to upgrade animal viruses so they can infect humans? | ||
| It does boggle your mind that Anthony Fauci continued to apparently fund gain-of-function research and cooperate with the Wuhan lab, knowing he had no full wealth of the Wuhan lab. | ||
| Just about any organization in China is connected to the The lie director is an incredibly powerful political weapon used by totalitarian regimes, but the big lie is out there and the people who are one way or the other captive by Chinese political and economic and other pressures, have to toe the line. | ||
| And if they don't support that kind of story, they're not members of the Big China Club. | ||
| According to a document obtained by the U.S. | ||
| State Department and first reported by the investigative journalism of The Australian, 18 Chinese People's Liberation Army scientists and health officials examined the weaponization of SARS viruses five years before the COVID-19 pandemic. | ||
| Predicting a third world war would be fought with biological weapons. | ||
| In an update to the document in 2018, published in numerous international publications, the Chinese military scientists had found 4 new pathogens and 10 new bacteria, while more than 1,640 new viruses were discovered using metagenomics technology. | ||
| The document claims that bioweapons will be the core weapon for victory in a third world war, And then goes on to lay out the ideal conditions to release a bioweapon and cause maximum damage, stating that the bioweapon should be released at night or at dawn, dusk, or under cloudy weather with a stable wind direction so that the aerosol can float into the target area, resulting in a surge of hospital treatment, causing the enemy's medical system to collapse. | ||
| An exhausted medical system already tested under COVID-19 and ultimately overseen by the Chinese ally, the World Health Organization. | ||

You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| Third hour of American Journal on InfoWars.com and Bandot Video. | ||
| My guest is Drew Mason, sponsor and principal at St. | ||
| Joseph's Partners, a gold and silver dealer that's helped clients buy, sell, and store precious metals for more than a decade. | ||
| Welcome to the show, Mr. Mason. | ||
| Thank you so much for having me in your beautiful new studio, Harrison. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| It's all refurbished and going quite well, although the crew is scrambling to figure out how to get a guest in here because you're our first one, so it's an exciting inauguration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thank you very much. | |
| I'm very thrilled that you're here as well. | ||
| We have a lot to talk about here, and of course, investing is your bread and butter, you may say, and it's something that I don't really understand that much or that well. | ||
| As soon as money gets involved for me, I just sort of get lost. | ||
| I get confused. | ||
| I get mad. | ||
| I get angry. | ||
| I just reject it entirely. | ||
| Easy come, easy go. | ||
| That's my philosophy on money, but probably not a good one to have if you want to actually be saving up in the future. | ||
| But one of the big trends that is now really sort of hitting the mainstream, it's been obviously boiling under the surface for a really long time. | ||
| But now finally big banks and big investment companies are getting into it is the Bitcoin or cryptocurrency realm. | ||
| And I trust that or understand that even less than normal money. | ||
| So I like gold. | ||
| I like the precious metals. | ||
| And that's what you're involved in. | ||
| But for people out there that are like me, what would you say to them who maybe they have some money, but the entire concept of investing or doing anything other than just putting in a bank and spending it when you need it, what would you tell the people about investing specifically in gold and how that compares to the new, what would you tell the people about investing specifically in gold and how that compares to the new, I I'm so glad you said that, Harrison, because I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who feel the same way about you. | ||
| And I would say one of the most wonderful things about gold is that it is so simple. | ||
| Literally, anyone who makes a complex either doesn't understand it themselves, or they're trying to create a dependency from you on them to keep them in the picture. | ||
| Gold is simply money. | ||
| It's a different form of money. | ||
| So you save your money in the bank, and I'm sure you understand the concept. | ||
| Well, if you were in Germany, you'd be saving in euro. | ||
| If you were in Japan, you'd be putting your money in the bank and saving in yen. | ||
| They're all monies, different currencies. | ||
| Gold is a currency as well. | ||
| Now, true, you can't spend your gold in the supermarket. | ||
| When it comes to day-to-day transactions in everyday life, The dollar is the most convenient mechanism for us. | ||
| However, money should really have two functions. | ||
| One is the convenience of day-to-day spending and living, but the second function of money is to preserve wealth. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So when you invest in ExxonMobil or Farmland or something like that, it is a risk investment. | ||
| You know you could lose it all, but you're doing it because of the potential to have notable upside. | ||
| When you put your money in the bank, you're doing it to prevent yourself from spending it, to keep you saving it, and to have it for the future. | ||
| But what has happened is that our founding fathers said the only legal currency in America will be gold and silver, which is fascinating. | ||
| That's written right into the Constitution. | ||
| Obviously FDR destroyed that in the 1930s, but they wrote that. | ||
| And they went even further, Harrison, to give you an idea of how important they felt gold was. | ||
| The first death sentence that was ever enacted into law was in the Coinage Act. | ||
| And it said, if anyone should try and make anything other than gold or silver or legal currency, they shall, quote unquote, suffer death. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So you say to yourself, these guys were either crazy, right? | ||
| Like, why are they making such a big deal about that? | ||
| Or they were brilliant historians. | ||
| And I would say it was the latter. | ||
| And what they were looking at had to do with that second of two functions of money, that it would preserve wealth. | ||
| Because every civilization they looked at at that time, when their money wasn't backed by gold, the currency itself ultimately became worthless. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that undercut the financial stability of families and the entire civilization. | ||
| So you have saved your money in the bank, and the dollar is the biggest wealth allocation of Americans. | ||
| So that is where more Americans have their wealth in that asset than any other. | ||
| But what has happened to the dollar? | ||
| So while we were working under the constitutional mandate and the dollar was fixed to gold, you didn't see the prices of goods or services increasing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They flatlined because your The wealth you had in the bank in that gold money was stable. | ||
| As soon as we came off of that backing, you saw the dollar start to behave like every other currency in history has. | ||
| It started to lose purchasing power. | ||
| So if you think back to when you were very young, and for a dollar you could buy a few stamps, and maybe, you know, you're younger, but when I was young you could buy, you know, a gallon of milk, a gallon of gas. | ||
| And what has happened since then, Isn't that those items have become more expensive? | ||
| It's the purchasing power of the dollar has eroded. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So what we would encourage people to do is, as you think about, okay, I have money saved in the bank. | ||
| We're not saying go sell all of it. | ||
| You certainly want a bunch of it. | ||
| We would say probably at least six months worth of expenses in that. | ||
| But beyond that, your cash allocation, doesn't it make sense to diversify? | ||
| Because what if the dollar proves to be like all the other currencies in history, that it doesn't stand the test of time? | ||
| Gold has. | ||
| So in 1971, when we finally came off the last vestiges of gold in the Constitution, since that time the dollar has lost again, since that time over 80% of its value. | ||
| Gold is up over 30x. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So people who diversified then have done, have been very glad that they have. | ||
| And when you look back in time, if there has been political Turmoil, when there has been periods of central bank over-indebtedness, which we obviously have in spades today, and all those occasions wealth has transferred to people who have allocated to gold. | ||
| So, I find it difficult, and you know, welcome your pushback or questions from anyone, but I find it difficult to think of a strategy that doesn't conclude having some gold isn't a prudent thing for people to do. | ||
| Yeah, it makes an awful lot of sense to me. | ||
| You know, I saw a really eye-opening meme, I guess you might say, but it was the argument that in, I think 1963, I think was what they used back when quarters were actually made of silver, the minimum wage was $1.25. | ||
| So essentially what they were saying was the minimum wage was five silver quarters. | ||
| Nowadays, those five silver quarters would be worth $25 or something like that. | ||
| So it's not that minimum wage needs to be increased, it's that we need a stable money supply or we need to rely more on things like silver. | ||
| Because if we had kept printing silver quarters and it had still been five quarters, it would It would be equivalent to what the minimum wage was back then. | ||
| So, to me, that was eye-opening, understanding that, okay, it's not that people are getting paid less now, it's that their money is worth so much less. | ||
| And that has a lot to do with the fact that it's not actually made of precious metals anymore. | ||
| I thought that was a really sort of poignant point that was made. | ||
| That is a very observant comment you made. | ||
| And so what you're speaking to is, so the history was from the Constitution on initially, it was our money was gold and silver only. | ||
| In 1933, FDR broke that and made gold illegal for American citizens to own. | ||
| Right, they actually went around and gathered up everybody's gold. | ||
| Well, to be clear, they shut down the banks and they put this lovely name tag on it. | ||
| They called it a bank holiday, but people couldn't go in and access the banks, which is where they had stored... | ||
| the equivalent of safety deposit boxes, they're gold, and they were not able to access it again. | ||
| The government paid them dollars when they reopened the banks, but almost immediately the dollar was devalued by two-thirds when everyone realized it wasn't backed by gold. | ||
| But silver was still legal money in America until 1963, like you're talking about. | ||
| What happened then was LBJ said essentially what all the presidents in time who have devalued their currencies have said, it's ridiculous to think our money's not going to be worth as much as silver over time. | ||
| And of course he was wrong. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, and, And the point you bring up, so from 1963 onward, money was just dross, as it's called. | ||
| But I'd like you to think about what also happened then, because up until that point, the middle class in America had been saving their money in the banks in real silver. | ||
| When that stopped, They were on a treadmill. | ||
| They were saving in a currency that was eroding in value. | ||
| And that was a big factor in the middle class suffering the way it has since the 60s. | ||
| Yeah, almost an invisible tax of a massive amount where your money is just becoming worth less every single year. | ||
| And I think we're about to probably see that trend accelerate, right, with the inflation happening right now. | ||
| More on the other side. | ||
| Don't go anywhere, folks. | ||
| Folks, we'll be right back. | ||
| All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
| My guest is Drew Mason. | ||
| We're having very interesting conversations during this commercial break, so we're going to try to bring you some of this very interesting material here on air. | ||
| Of course, Drew Mason is the principal with St. | ||
| Joseph's Partner, a gold and silver dealer. | ||
| And you helped to establish Infowarsgold.com, which is a great resource for all the Infowarriors out there. | ||
| Now, we're going to change topics a little bit. | ||
| We were talking about gold in the last segment and precious metals and saving and that sort of stuff, but there was something else that I guess you brought up while you were on Alex's show and then some people on Band.video were commenting on it. | ||
| Maybe not really understanding what you're saying, so we want to sort of clarify and expand on what you were talking about before, and that is the concept of Christian fasting, right? | ||
| And so, I don't know if you want to sort of lay the table here, because you asked during the break if I was a Protestant, and I said yes, and you said, oh, you probably don't know anything about fasting. | ||
| I said, guilty as charged. | ||
| At that time, I said, are you a Christian? | ||
| Are you a Christian? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Like most Christians, you just, I said, you probably have never fasted. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I didn't mean to be perjurative or negative. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| And I, and I wasn't, I wasn't saying that at all. | ||
| It's just, but, but it's true. | ||
| I have never fasted, even though I'm aware that this is a traditional aspect of many churches. | ||
| And I was saying that one of my best friends is Orthodox and they stick very closely to a fasting schedule that's A lot of people would find rather extreme. | ||
| I think the farthest Episcopalian church I remember going fasting was, well, you give up something during Lent. | ||
| And that's so far removed from the biblical tradition of fasting that it shouldn't even be called that, right? | ||
| So you're right. | ||
| I really don't have a lot of experience in this, but I do know that it has some amazing benefits. | ||
| But you are a big proponent of fasting for all of its various benefits that it can offer, right? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So to tie together with what we were just saying, because all these good blessings I believe the Lord has in mind. | ||
| So we were talking about 1963 and how when the U.S. | ||
| government made the final break from the Constitution, we stopped allowing the middle class to naturally save in silver, which is what they could have exchanged their bank money for at any time up till then. | ||
| And since then, the wealth of the middle class imploded. | ||
| Well, fascinatingly, right around 1963 was also this complete break in church history and tradition with the translation of scriptures. | ||
| That was when, in the Catholic Church, they went into what they called Vatican II. | ||
| And the translation that had been used for centuries, Dewey Reams, within the Catholic Church, was specific in Mark 9.29 and Matthew 10, when evil was most powerful, the only way to defeat it. | ||
| was with prayer when it was combined with fasting. | ||
| Prayer alone would fail every time it was a teaching of Jesus. | ||
| The King James Version, which had essentially 100% share in all of our Protestant churches, had the same translation. | ||
| At that point, in 63, the Catholic Church took the word fasting out. | ||
| So it really undercut and shifted the entire point of the teaching, how to defeat evil. | ||
| At the same time, in the Protestant churches, new translations came in like the ESV and the NIV, which also omitted the word fasting that the King James had held up. | ||
| And as we look at it, over half of the Protestant Bibles today have omitted fasting. | ||
| So really, you are, your generation is a product of these changes in the 60s. | ||
| Your paycheck is no longer in precious metals. | ||
| That's why the purchasing power of your paycheck from last year and the year before isn't worth as much. | ||
| And you're not aware of how powerful fasting is. | ||
| The stories in scripture and post-scripture are of the most remarkable victories in war and the most remarkable occurrences of protection of families from harm when they fasted along with their prayer. | ||
| So we feel it is, like the precious metals, a great forgotten blessing that comes to people who are aware of it. | ||
| The way we fast, you're going to say, is so easy. | ||
| How can it be any good? | ||
| We fast in the manner of the first century Christians, and that's every Wednesday and every Friday. | ||
| I concede there is not a smoking gun in scripture that tells you that frequency, and many people will say to me, well, that's very legalistic to say two times a week. | ||
| But here's why we come to that. | ||
| A first century writing called the Didache specifies Christians are obligated to fast every Wednesday and Friday, just like it also specifies the Jews were obligated to fast two days a week. | ||
| In Scriptures itself, we do see an example where Jesus has the parable of the sinner who goes to the temple saying, Lord, I'm such a horrible sinner. | ||
| And then the Pharisee is there and the Pharisee says, I tithe and I fast twice a week. | ||
| Jesus says, you know, that Pharisee, his prayers are of no value because his heart is hard like a rock. | ||
| However, remember, Jesus also told us do as the Pharisees say, because they know the laws. | ||
| And why was a Pharisee tithing? | ||
| There wasn't any generosity. | ||
| He picked tithing, that's why he was practicing, because that was the minimum required. | ||
| Why was he fasting twice a week? | ||
| Like the Didache says, that's what Jews were obligated to do back then, and that's what Christians were obligated to do. | ||
| You also see Jesus being approached by John's disciples, and they say, what's going on here? | ||
| Your disciples don't fast. | ||
| We fast, John's disciples, we fast like the Pharisees. | ||
| Like the Pharisees, twice a week. | ||
| And Jesus doesn't rebuke them and say, you're too intense, back off, you're legalistic. | ||
| He says, when I'm gone, my apostles will fast too. | ||
| And we see in the Acts of the Apostles, the apostles fasting more. | ||
| You see St. | ||
| Paul specifying that regular fasting, especially with ministers, who have been very cold-hearted to receive a message about the importance of fasting, that ministers are obligated also to be fasting weekly. | ||
| So you mentioned your friend is Orthodox, and we clarified before, you were talking about him being Greek Orthodox. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And they are one of the few sects that still practices this, but there are so many others that do. | ||
| The founder of the Methodist Church John Wesley required that all Methodists would fast on Wednesdays and Fridays. | ||
| Where did he get that from? | ||
| So there's lots of triangulation if you peel back the superficial translations of today's scriptures. | ||
| Yeah, and it is clearly an aspect of Christianity that was there from the beginning but is Falling to the wayside and sort of collapsing. | ||
| And there's an interesting aspect of it where now the health benefits of fasting are becoming apparent and there's a lot of secular fasting going on. | ||
| I don't know if you've noticed this, but there's a trend of people who for their health or for weight loss will fast. | ||
| And so, you know, maybe the argument is in the same way as you point out that prayer isn't very useful without the fasting in that one passage you were referring to. | ||
| The fasting without the prayer might not be as useful either, right? | ||
| Great points, Harrison. | ||
| So, prayer is absolutely useful and powerful, and I apologize if I misconstrued that. | ||
| If I had been precise, what I was trying to articulate is, what Jesus was showing us is that when evil is most powerful, Prayer alone can't take it down. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That is a situation that requires fasting. | ||
| And what I would say to all our listeners out there, I mean, look at the world today. | ||
| Since we stopped fasting, look how evil has surged. | ||
| You know, pick a level, pick a topic. | ||
| And I think it has been because we have forgotten to add the fasting in with our prayers. | ||
| And you're so right, too, about the health benefits. | ||
| There was a Nobel Prize given out for the health benefits of fasting. | ||
| There's many studies that talk about helping with Alzheimer's, helping with cancer, helping restart organs. | ||
| It's extraordinary. | ||
| But I would like to drill into the point you made about what I think you're referring to. | ||
| It's commonly called intermittent fasting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| When you do it, when you abstain from eating for your own health, that is dieting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| When you do it for the purpose of repenting and coming closer to the Lord, that is fasting. | ||
| So I can fast and get all the benefits of dieting. | ||
| With that subtle change of the heart and intention, I get all these benefits for free that will be eternal, as scripture tells us, from fasting. | ||
| Makes a lot of sense. | ||
| More on the other side, folks. | ||

You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at Band.Video. | ||
| We're back, ladies and gentlemen, with my guest, Drew Mason, still talking about fasting, this incredible concept that, again, I really don't even understand that well because it's so absent from American culture now or Christian culture. | ||
| Now as a whole, just to wrap our brains about this, what does fasting entail? | ||
| Is it no food whatsoever? | ||
| I mean, when you say fasting, what do you mean by that? | ||
| I'm so glad you asked that, Harrison, because I think one of evil's great victories in the modern day has been to make people think that fasting isn't important and it isn't required and also that it is so difficult. | ||
| So the standard way we fast, excuse me, 50 weeks a year, is on Wednesdays and Fridays, we limit our intake of food to only bread and our intake of liquids to only water. | ||
| Now we eat 100% whole grain breads. | ||
| So that's loaded with protein, loaded with B vitamins. | ||
| And if we're hungry, we'll have five slices of bread. | ||
| And if you want to put some butter on it, some olive oil on it, if you're diabetic and you want to put some almond butter on it, Go ahead. | ||
| And you may be saying to yourself, how can that be so powerful? | ||
| It's not that much of a sacrifice. | ||
| And you're 100% right. | ||
| And what we think the first century Christians understood was that in order to fast every week, it has to be practical so that you can go on and live your life, whether you're working in the fields or in the office. | ||
| We have to have the energy and the nourishment to go on living. | ||
| And what this is, is again, it's just a tiny sacrifice. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So evil makes you think the bar has to be so high for it to do any good. | ||
| And God is saying just the opposite. | ||
| Just you, you know, little you, little me, no matter what our state in life. | ||
| If with a joyful heart we'll just say, Lord, I love steaks on the grill, I love seafood, I love pancakes and sausage, but I love you more, Lord. | ||
| And so I'm going to make this tiny little sacrifice compared to the immense sacrifice that you made for me. | ||
| And I'm going to restrict my eating today to bread and butter and water. | ||
| For the glory of your kingdom, that your Holy Spirit will come upon us. | ||
| And what we've been doing for 10 years is with our fasting endeavors, we pray while we're fasting for the restoration of our nation in every way, spiritually, economically, every way. | ||
| And we fast specifically for the protection of policemen, for our military and our firefighters, so we would be able, through our little sacrifice, to cast a shield of protection around them. | ||
| And if Scripture has any truth, we are. | ||
| So I would try and wrap up fasting by saying two things. | ||
| I don't believe you can think of this as just another tool in the tool belt. | ||
| I believe this is critical and is required of Christians. | ||
| It is the weapon that defeats evil when it's most prevalent. | ||
| A fifth century evangelist, his name was Asterius, had apparently a vision and his words have survived 1,500 years. | ||
| And he saw and he understood that The angels protect. | ||
| The families that fast. | ||
| And if you're a parent out there today and you see everything that's going on, what an incredible blessing that is in and of itself. | ||
| That you're able to construct this shield of all types. | ||
| That is the power of fasting. | ||
| One of the greatest evangelists of all time, Derrick Prince, said, it is almost impossible to exaggerate the power of fasting. | ||
| So as we walk away from this Don't let this slip from your minds. | ||
| This is the differentiator that Christ singularly held up as being required and as being powerful enough to overcome evil when it is strongest. | ||
| And know that bread and water fasting is easy. | ||
| Have as much bread as you want, as much water as you want. | ||
| It's a tiny sacrifice. | ||
| And you will be glad, I believe, for all of eternity when you see the badge of honor that's afforded to you for how you changed history with your sacrifice. | ||
| Right, and it's really not that big of a sacrifice, but I'm thinking of, you know, you mentioned families that fast, and I'm thinking my son is too young. | ||
| He will not be fasting anytime soon until maybe he's off the breast milk, then we'll see. | ||
| But I'm just thinking, you know, if the lessons that can be learned from a little kid who, you know, little kids so often now, and you see it all the time, The bad parents out there just indulge. | ||
| They indulge, indulge, indulge. | ||
| Whatever the kid wants, the kid gets no matter what. | ||
| And in a way, this will help prepare kids to say, look, you don't need to get what you want right now and be upset. | ||
| It doesn't matter how upset you are, you're not getting what you want right now. | ||
| So you need to instead learn to deal with the idea that maybe you're not going to get everything that you want immediately. | ||
| And it's a little bit of a sacrifice, but it'll Train the mind. | ||
| You know, I think there's a child psychologist I was talking about the importance of Eating dinner together as a family and how putting off the immediate satisfaction of indulgence to have to sit there with your food on your plate and wait for everybody else to sit down, wait for the chef to sit down, wait for the family to come together. | ||
| Well, you're hungry, right? | ||
| Well, too bad. | ||
| Dinner's not for another hour, so you're going to have to wait. | ||
| Teaching them to put off that satisfaction, put off the fulfillment of their desires for just a little bit for the benefit of others can have such a powerful impact on the psyche, and it seems like fasting would have that same effect. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| And what you're saying is so true. | ||
| As parents, we have to remember that to be disciplined, to give in to every desire doesn't do anyone any good. | ||
| And even the scriptures say exactly that. | ||
| And there are just so many benefits that I think you will find come to you in your workplace and your family by doing this. | ||
| I think Everyone who tries it will conclude they are very happy they've done it. | ||
| And the words in Leviticus are so powerful, because I think so many Americans, you know, you see the news, you're just bombarded with bad news, bad news, and it seems as though evil is so strong, and you think, what can I do? | ||
| And Leviticus tells us with just a few people, you know, together, united, praying and fasting like this, Our power is exponential. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, you know, if we thought about going into battle, we may think, you know, we were on the front lines and you have in your mind who would be the fiercest warrior across from you. | ||
| It would probably be just some muscle bound person, maybe something like something from Star Wars wielding like 20 lightsabers. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Evil's greatest fear of the most fearsome warrior could be a mom at home who fears, who feels just so run down. | ||
| It could be a person who's bedridden. | ||
| It could be someone who feels like they've been such a failure. | ||
| They haven't made any money in their lives, but they take that spirit and they say, Lord, I am joyfully making this little sacrifice for you. | ||
| You just level the opposition with a heart like that and making that kind of a sacrifice while you're fasting. | ||
| You know, it's so funny that you put it that way because I see article after article after article essentially reflecting exactly what you just said, how the thing that the evil that now runs our country and is in such incredible power right now, the thing they fear is exactly that, like a mother at home who is just humble and wants to do the thing they fear is exactly that, like a mother at home Like they hate that. | ||
| They want to destroy her. | ||
| They despise her because of the pillar of strength that she is against them. | ||
| And, of course, you know, you point out in times of great evil or times where evil is the strongest, I mean, look around now, and clearly we are in the depths of the evil and, you know, indoctrination on all sides. | ||
| We need something, and maybe fasting is it. | ||
| Now we're about to run up against a break here but I want to talk, I want to ask you about the fasting that you were involved in today and actually for the next few days but I think we'll get to that in the next segment because real quick I just want to say that the metaphysical power of fasting has been proven. | ||
| I believe it was National Geographic, I'm gonna have to find this because I bring it up all the time, but they went around the world to study populations where people routinely lived over 100. | ||
| In Japan, people usually live over 100. | ||
| Many places in the Middle East and around the Mediterranean, people routinely live over 100. | ||
| And I believe a few places in South America as well. | ||
| And what they found through this study was that the healthiest and longest living people in the entire world were Orthodox Christian communities on the Mediterranean. | ||
| They ate a lot of olives, they ate a lot of hummus and chickpeas, and they stuck to the fasting schedule. | ||
| And they found that these people were the healthiest in the entire world. | ||
| And so, in a way, it's like, you know, you don't want to... | ||
| As you said, if fasting without the spiritual aspect, that's just dieting. | ||
| This isn't about dieting, but it does have healthy repercussions, almost in a way reflecting the spiritual health that you'll be engendering as well, right? | ||
| You have the spiritual health from fasting, but it also is reflected in the physical world with the physical health that can also engender that people now notice. | ||
| And as you point out, intermittent fasting is a big fad now and people recognize We'll be back on the other side with our final segment with Drew Mason. | ||
| of all of this now, our spiritual and our physical are so well intertwined. | ||
| I just think it's amazing and yet another reason why you should consider fasting. | ||
| We'll be back on the other side with our final segment with Drew Mason. | ||
| Don't go anywhere, folks. | ||
| All right, folks, final segment on American Journal. | ||
| Remember, you support everything that we do here by going to InfoWarsStore.com, and now you can go to InfoWarsGold.com, thanks to my guest Drew Mason. | ||
| Again, we're talking about fasting, but really it goes into the larger context of this being a spiritual war, which I think most of our audience recognizes at this point. | ||
| While so much of what we deal with is the physical, or the political, or the legislative, or whatever, and you take all that away, you shed all of the And what you're left with is a spiritual battle between good and evil, one that has been waged for thousands of years and that we are now simply the latest iteration of. | ||
| And sometimes the good gains ground, sometimes the evil gains ground. | ||
| It seems right now that we are in an evil epoch, where evil is attempting to, in many ways, consolidate a lot of the gains that they've already been able to grasp. | ||
| And so we're talking about how fasting, along with other practices obviously, can contribute to that spiritual warfare that we're engaged in. | ||
| And so you, I guess in a way to keep the metaphor going, are involved in a fasting offensive right now against evil, right? | ||
| You are waging a concerted... | ||
| So what is the fast that you guys are engaged in right now? | ||
| with a special, a particular fast, sort of separate and a step above what would be a typical fasting, even for somebody who really stringently stuck to the schedule, as laid out, as you pointed out, Wednesday and Friday. | ||
| So what is the fast that you guys are engaged in right now? | ||
| And when I say you guys, who are the people that are engaged in this fast? | ||
| We do think of it as the spiritual war. | ||
| St. | ||
| Paul was clear, don't wonder why anything happens, everything happens because of the spiritual. | ||
| Whether it's political, financial, everything happens because of the spiritual. | ||
| And we do think this is the killer weapon that Jesus was pointing us to that's been forgotten, and because we've forgotten that is why evil has made so much progress. | ||
| So the group, it started out with just us. | ||
| So we are, believe it or not, a for-profit business. | ||
| We do all this about fasting as our charity to try and help America, again, to renew America, protect our military, police, and firefighters. | ||
| And so every week for over a decade, we've been writing twice a week reminding Anyone who wants to come along with us, don't forget, Wednesdays and Fridays are fasting days. | ||
| I'm trying to give a little spiritual encouragement. | ||
| You can sign up for free on our website if you'd like to do that. | ||
| So, we grew to thousands and then last, I think it was November, MailChimp shut us down. | ||
| So we kind of had a similar experience as some of you. | ||
| So we've had to rebuild our capabilities of doing this, but we still are emailing out twice a week and we've already built back up. | ||
| There's thousands of members who have signed up and who are fasting with us coast to coast across the country in this bread and water method twice a week. | ||
| So let me, sorry, if I can just interrupt you really quickly because I did not realize that it happened to you. | ||
| Did MailChimp give a reason why they would shut you down? | ||
| You know, their standard verbiage of, uh, what's, what's the politically correct and hate speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| It was just sort of a, a form letter that that's really amazing. | ||
| Cause I've been noticing that they used to at least try to couch it in, or, you know, if they, if they were going to kick you off, they would say, well, you're, you're putting forward danger or something, something now everywhere from Facebook, Facebook just kicked off an Orthodox monk. | ||
| Uh, you know, MailChimp will, will cancel you guys. | ||
| It seems like they're literally doing it on strictly a religious basis now. | ||
| And I think this is a new step, a new level of censorship that we need to be aware of. | ||
| You know, I wouldn't be upset about this. | ||
| To me, this is actually good in a way, in that the masks are coming off. | ||
| We may think of 2020 as year of masks. | ||
| I think 2020 was the year the masks started falling off en masse. | ||
| No longer was evil able to hide behind being moderate. | ||
| It's showing. | ||
| You do these things when you are opposed to God, and if you are opposed to God's way, that is evil. | ||
| We're not worried about it. | ||
| We're building back up. | ||
| What we see in Scripture that's so powerful, too, is when things go against you is to just praise Him and to trust Him. | ||
| And so that's what we're doing. | ||
| So we've lost some ground. | ||
| We've been slowed down, but we're in His hands. | ||
| This is all His plan. | ||
| So we're doing that. | ||
| And you had mentioned about a particular fast that we're doing, is we realized we were coming down here at the last minute to do this, in that this week is the 13th of the month. | ||
| And it's a significant date. | ||
| The world tells you the 13th is an unlucky number. | ||
| Scripture holds it up as being one of the most blessed and special numbers, including the greatest rescue of all time, probably for God's people. | ||
| So, all the Jews from Africa to India were scheduled to be exterminated. | ||
| on the 13th of the month. | ||
| And then this little orphan girl, Esther, who grew up and began to have some influence, sent out a plea and said, I'm asking all of God's believers to join me in a fast. | ||
| And this is the only fast in the Bible that is explicit on how to do it in terms of what to eat and what to drink. | ||
| And she said, we will eat and drink nothing for three days. | ||
| She asked the people to join her. | ||
| And at the end of the three days, She expected that the Spirit would reveal to them the strategy. | ||
| She didn't know what the strategy was going, and she said, I will approach the king, and if he kills me, he kills me, because that was the rule for approaching the king. | ||
| Right. | ||
| She said, after we fast, not before, after we fast for three days, we'll push forward with our strategy. | ||
| Needless to say, The scales fell off of the king's eyes. | ||
| He saw what was really evil that he had thought was good before. | ||
| He not only stood up and protected God's people, but it unleashed another century of prosperity for them. | ||
| When we realized this week is the 13th and realizing that we were having the blessing of speaking to such a big audience, we thought, we want to step up. | ||
| And as quick as I am to say how easy Wednesday and Friday fasting is on bread and water, I mean, no qualms about it. | ||
| It's really shockingly easy. | ||
| This is a little daunting, trying to go three days without bread and without water. | ||
| And so today's day one, we're whatever, nine hours into it. | ||
| And I would say to you, I don't know if I'll make it. | ||
| Every time we start out, you have this very Strong awareness that you may not be able to do this. | ||
| And we think of it as a 72-step mountain, because there's 72 hours in this three-day period. | ||
| And no matter what it is in life, Satan shows you the mountain. | ||
| We'd say Jesus shows you the step. | ||
| Don't think, how am I going to do it for three days? | ||
| We just go one hour at a time. | ||
| I'm going to try and make it. | ||
| I'm going to try and make it. | ||
| And if you fall, if you need water, or if you need something to eat, then go ahead and do it. | ||
| But then just get right back up. | ||
| Don't be disappointed in yourself and push on for the rest of the period. | ||
| We think, again, the most important thing is clearly your heart. | ||
| So we're trying to step up in this manner, this biblical prescription of how to bring about extraordinary rescue. | ||
| Now, Ben told me that a question came in yesterday or it was in the air and said, how can I defend Not drinking water. | ||
| It's like the consciousness is out there that people realize not eating food is good for you, but not drinking water is ridiculous. | ||
| To which I say, I have no defense. | ||
| If there's science supporting a benefit of not drinking water, it's contrary to everything I know. | ||
| All I know is that I'm the foot soldier. | ||
| God doesn't care what I think. | ||
| He didn't ask me my opinion when he hung any of the stars or did anything else. | ||
| He doesn't care. | ||
| And so I'm just stepping out in faith. | ||
| I see that in Scripture, that's what it says, and that's what we're doing. | ||
| And that's what we're trying. | ||
| Yeah, well, and it's great because, you know, like so many other stories from the Bible, the metaphysical reality of it is tangible, right? | ||
| In the sense that you have this impending doom, I think I can sort of imagine how Esther and her people might've felt, right? | ||
| Being under an occupied force with a government that doesn't care about you and is actively targeting you and coming after you. | ||
| And it's a slow buildup and you know you're under this control for a long time. | ||
| And yet, it gets to a point that, as you point out, the scales fall away, and everything can be reborn, and that there's... It often, you know, it's cliché, I guess, but clichés are clichés because they're true. | ||
| The dark is before the dawn, or, you know, it gets worse before it gets better. | ||
| This idea that only in the extremity of the disaster will things turn around and suddenly You know, be reborn. | ||
| It's the same story as Jesus, obviously, right? | ||
| You can only imagine. | ||
| We look around today and go, man, Christians are in such trouble. | ||
| The church is in such trouble. | ||
| And then you just have to remember, there used to be like 12 of us, right? | ||
| And the leader was nailed to a cross. | ||
| Yes, he was nailed to a cross. | ||
| And then the leader he picked was totally possessed at one point. | ||
| He was betrayed by another one of them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It was real bad for a while there in the beginning, but we succeeded. | ||
| And so the same as the story of Esther, the story of Jesus, it has these stories of Don't give up. | ||
| Stick to what you know to be true. | ||
| Stick to what you know to be spiritually good. | ||
| And no matter how bad it looks, it can all turn around like that. | ||
| And that's really what we're hoping for in a lot of ways. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| If you think about it, Good Friday looked like an unmitigated disaster. | ||
| I can't imagine. | ||
| But it was the greatest victory of all time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so things that may feel like they've been They've been losses, and the Lord's scheme can turn out to be the greatest blessings and steps forward, and we think that's where we are. | ||
| Yeah, and the term, the scales falling from the eyes, I mean, that really is what we want, and right now the scales are being reinforced and super glued with the mainstream media and all of these demented forces coming at us, and all we're really trying to do is pull those scales out and let people actually see for themselves. | ||
| I've really enjoyed this conversation and learned a lot. | ||
| What's so wonderful, too, though, is Evil has to bombard you with expensive propaganda. | ||
| You just hear the truth one time and the stars will fall for you. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| So we think that we're on the verge of tremendous good news for America from a Christian perspective based on what happened on March 6th this year with the consolation that was predicted in Revelation. | ||

And we think gold and silver are about... In just six months, steel prices have tripled. | |
| In just the last few months, corn prices have more than doubled, along with wheat. | ||
| Beef prices are exploding. | ||
| Oil prices, gas prices, everything is going straight up, because the central banks of the world have printed tens of trillions of different currencies. | ||
| Including the dollar, including the euro, and including the Japanese currency and Chinese currency. | ||
| While governments tell you you're not essential and don't work, and what just came out here in the middle of May 2021? | ||
| That jobless numbers came out, and despite them ending the lockdowns here in the US in most areas, Record numbers of people aren't looking for jobs and are out of work, because the jobs don't exist, because more than half the small businesses are out of business. | ||
| And other people have just decided not to go back to work. | ||
| That's why they not just have a shortage of gas now for the summer, but a shortage of drivers, because so many of the companies went out of business. | ||
| It took hundreds of years to build up this infrastructure, and now, with just on time delivery, when you shut down the global supply chain, it will take years to get it back to where it was, if ever. | ||
| And Klaus Schwab and the New World Order talk about this. | ||
| Klaus Schwab was on TV a few weeks ago going, The Great Reset will only continue even after lockdown's end. | ||
| It is like a cut in the economy and in the population. | ||
| The cut will not heal. | ||
| They are doing this to everyone. | ||
| Myself, yourself. | ||
| And that's why I'm telling listeners and it's why I told you Years ago, and then during the fake pandemic, that it's the lockdown, not the virus that's going to kill people by starvation. | ||
| So you need to get prepared now and it funds the info war. | ||

| Uh, the other iodine is a triiodine, all three types of iodine. | ||
| And it's better for some folks, not as good for others. | ||
| It's apples and oranges. | ||
