| As illustrated in RFK Jr.'s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, AIDS and AZT was The Real Anthony Fauci, AIDS and AZT was Fauci's first official go at state-sponsored depopulation. | ||
| Celia Farber writes that Peter Staley is the most iconic AIDS activist in the world, and that he was the guy who made AZT happen. | ||
| The well-hyped media story goes something like this. | ||
| Young gay activist Peter Staley came out as a homosexual in 1985 and inspired his older brother, Jess Staley, to join him in the fight against AIDS, which for them meant demanding more drugs, faster drugs, and cheaper drugs from Big Pharma. | ||
| While posing as the voice of the downtrodden LGBTQ consumer, with the almighty support of the mainstream media behind them, the two brothers demanded that Big Pharma put speed ahead of safety and efficacy. | ||
| This campaign directly resulted in the rapid FDA approval of AZT in 1989. | ||
| Big profits were made. | ||
| Shortcuts were taken. | ||
| And AZT killed thousands. | ||
| Jess Staley worked for JPMorgan Chase and became a pioneer of woke LGBTQ banking. | ||
| And after 30 years at JPMorgan and nine years as CEO of Barclays Bank in the UK, he resigned last year after an investigation into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein was launched as part of a U.S. Virgin Islands lawsuit. | ||
| According to the lawsuit, JPMorgan knowingly, negligently, and unlawfully provided and pulled the levers through which recruiters and victims were paid and was indispensable to the operation and concealment of the Epstein trafficking enterprise. | ||
| Human trafficking was the principal business of the accounts Epstein maintained at JPMorgan. | ||
| Jess Staley exchanged several hundreds of emails with Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| Some of them coded like the infamous Pizzagate emails. | ||
| Staley to Epstein, say hi to Snow White for me. | ||
| Epstein to Staley, what character would you like next? | ||
| Staley, beauty and the beast. | ||
| Jess Staley is accused of forcibly and violently raping one of the victims and is said to have told her that Jeffrey Epstein authorized him to do whatever he wanted to her. | ||
| Jess Staley was set to take over for Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who some believe will be charged with criminal conspiracy for his service to Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking operations. | ||
| A New York federal judge threatened JPMorgan Chase with contempt of court if it does not speed up in producing evidence related to Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| Jamie Dimon is scheduled to be questioned under oath later this month on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| Throwing gas on the fire, 19 Republican states just accused J.P. Morgan of closing bank accounts on political or religious grounds. | ||
| In a letter to CEO Jamie Dimon, J.P. Morgan Bank is accused of canceling major organizations' checking accounts and then screening them with questions focused on religion and politics before reinstating them. | ||
| The Federal Reserve Bank is not federal, and it holds no reserves. | ||
| It is a private bank owned by its member banks. | ||
| And overall, owned by the same big banks deemed too big to fail, like JPMorgan Chase. | ||
| So when the CBDCs come to supposedly save the day, remember that these banks are run by child rapists and human traffickers. | ||
| Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Reese. | ||
| Folks, it all goes back to the banks, which is why Ron Paul always said essentially that ending the Fed would be cutting the head off of the snake. | ||
| Hard to disagree. | ||
| That is the latest from Greg Reese. | ||
| Too big to fail banks now connected to Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking. | ||
| We'll cover that and more on the other side. | ||
| Stay with us, folks. | ||
| Infowars.com, band.videos, where you go to share that powerful expose. | ||

And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to The American Journal. Harrison Smith here, Infowars.com, band.video. | ||
| Like every day, we have a lot to cover. | ||
| It has just the insanity ramps up across the board. | ||
| We're not even in gay month yet, but boy, it's starting to feel like... | ||
| It feels like every month is gay black history month, doesn't it? | ||
| These types of campaigns used to be confined to a month. | ||
| Yeah. Whether it's Ford or Adidas or any other major multinational globo-homo corporation. | ||
| They're going all in on the corrupted rainbow. | ||
| We'll show you some of that. | ||
| You gotta wonder what all this is about. | ||
| Well, I think we'll answer what it's all about. | ||
| We have a lot to get to. | ||
| We're gonna get to... | ||
| We're gonna be joined by a couple great guests. | ||
| Mike Shelby in the third hour and Dan Dix in the second hour. | ||
| Talking about local intelligence with Mike Shelby. | ||
| So we'll be opening up the phones for your calls in the very first hour to get to as many as possible before we welcome our guests. | ||
| But let's begin today, as we do every day, with our Daily Dispatch. | ||
| Here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Thursday, the 18th of May, 2023. | ||
| 60,000 pounds of explosive ammonium nitrate missing from a train in California. | ||
| 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate. | ||
| Used as a fertilizer, but also in explosives, are missing from a rail shipment that was due to arrive in California from Wyoming. | ||
| The rail car, loaded with 30 tons of the chemical, left Cheyenne, Wyoming on April 12th. | ||
| The car was found to be empty when it arrived two weeks later at a rail stop in the Mojave Desert, according to a short incident report from the explosives firm that made the shipment. | ||
| The company, Dyno Nobel. | ||
| Made the report on May 10th to the Federal National Response Center, or NRC. The report also appeared last week in an NRC database of California incidents managed by the State Office of Emergency Services last Wednesday. | ||
| Dino Nobel says it believes the material, transported in pellet form in a covered hopper car similar to those to ship coal, fell from the car on the way to a rail siding called Saltdale about 30 miles from the town of Mojave in eastern Kern County. | ||
| Ammonium nitrate was the explosive. | ||
| The massive bomb used in the Oklahoma City false flag government attack of 1995. | ||
| It was also the substance that caused a deadly explosion in a warehouse in the port of Beirut, Lebanon in 2020. | ||
| Foul play is not yet expected, but the loss of hazardous chemicals is just the latest rail problem in the last several months. | ||
| In February, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, eventually leading to a massive explosion that spread potentially hazardous material to the surrounding community. | ||
| Don't worry, folks. Don't worry. | ||
| The people at the head of the transportation system assure us they are going to get to the bottom of why there are so many white construction workers. | ||
| CDC halts administration of J&J COVID vaccine in the United States and orders the remaining doses to be destroyed. | ||
| The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has announced that the Johnson& Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is no longer available in the United States. | ||
| All remaining doses of the vaccine expired last week, and the CDC has directed health care providers to dispose of any remaining doses they may have had. | ||
| According to the CDC data, approximately 19 million people in the U.S. have received the J&J vaccine since its initial availability. | ||
| However, more than 31.5 million doses were delivered to states and jurisdictions, leaving around 12.5 million doses unused. | ||
| Unused, but paid for by your tax dollars. | ||
| Isn't that convenient? Oops, we ordered twice as many as we actually needed. | ||
| Well, oh well. | ||
| Bill is paid. We have the money. | ||
| Just throw it in a ditch and cover up the horrific side effects that it caused when it actually did get delivered. | ||
| Meanwhile... Ukraine, an American mercenary, has been killed. | ||
| Death of an American mercenary from Idaho confirms rumors that U.S. troops are engaged in a hot war in Ukraine against Russia. | ||
| The death of an Idaho-based mercenary in Bakhmut seems to confirm rumors that United States citizens have been actively engaging in a hot war against Russia on the Eastern Front of Ukraine. | ||
| These rumors have spread like wildfire over the past several weeks following an intelligence leak last month alleging that Western troops are fighting on the ground in Ukraine. | ||
| The Guardian reported that the leaked documents contained updates about military operations, logistics, weapons deliveries, and trainings of Ukrainian forces by the U.S. and NATO allies. | ||
| In one section titled U.S. NATO SOF in UKR, the document appears to list a number of Western special forces present in Ukraine. | ||
| The document appears to be dated February and March 2023. | ||
| It had been previously reported that Americans were going to Ukraine to engage in training, but it now appears as though they've been actively engaging Russian forces in the city of Bakhmut. | ||
| Confirming once and for all we are in fact engaged in an unlawful and undeclared war against Russia. | ||
| No debate in Congress and not even the... | ||
| Thin justification of some 20-year-old war on terror authorization for use of force. | ||
| Nothing of the sort has even been floated when it comes to fighting Russia, and you would think that perhaps there'd be a bit more concern about sticking to Strictures of our government and the letter of law when it comes to starting a third world war. | ||
| But that's not the world we live in anymore. | ||
| From the Guardian up to 50 UK special forces present in Ukraine this year, US leaks suggest. | ||
| And this is, again, exactly how Vietnam started and spiraled out of control. | ||
| But even then, you at least had the Congress voting on a declaration of war. | ||
| What was the last declaration of war that Congress actually voted on and approved? | ||
| Was it Iraq or Afghanistan? | ||
| Be interesting to find out. | ||
| You authorize a war against a Middle Eastern country 30 years ago. | ||
| And now we're just... | ||
| It's just... Just send troops wherever you want for whatever purpose you want. | ||
| Just spending American lives and dollars... | ||
| For whatever your particular ends are without ever having to discuss or explain them to the peoples whose lives you are ending in their pursuit. | ||
| Meanwhile, illegal alien charged with raping a teen girl released in the U.S. by Biden's DHS. An illegal alien is accused of raping a teenage girl in Prattville, Alabama after having been released into the United States at the southern border by President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security. | ||
| Grevy Giovanni Rivera Zavala, the 29-year-old illegal alien from Honduras, was arrested and charged with the first-degree rape of a teenage girl last week. | ||
| According to WFSA12 News, Zavala allegedly raped the girl in a woman's bathroom of a restaurant. | ||
| Police allege that the illegal alien forced the girl into the bathroom stall, held her down, and it was a completely random attack. | ||
| He should never have been in the country. | ||
| And I would... I don't know. | ||
| I think maybe there'd be some sort of process by which you would be able to hold to account the people that laid the groundwork for this crime to happen. | ||
| Kind of like if you are the driver in a bank robbery because you delivered the criminal and then took the criminal away after the crime, you're just as responsible for the crime as the person that holds the gun and collects the money. | ||
| You'd think there'd be something similar to that when you have The Biden administration helping this criminal circumvent the law to get into the country, then they carry him on a bus to the place where he commits this horrific crime and destroys forever, I'm sure, the mental health and well-being of this young woman. | ||
| You would think that the people responsible for facilitating this crime to happen would... | ||
| You know, be held responsible in some part for the crime itself. | ||
| But I seriously doubt that's ever going to happen. | ||
| Just tack it on, I guess. | ||
| Just add it to the list. | ||
| Meanwhile, representing just a full-on collapse of morality itself, one-third of Canadians are fine with prescribing assisted suicide for homelessness. | ||
| Roughly the same number told a poll they were fine with approving assisted suicide for someone whose affliction was poverty. | ||
| Their only affliction was poverty. | ||
| One third of Canadians are apparently fine with prescribing assisted suicide for no other reason than the fact that the patient is poor or homeless. | ||
| The results were contained in the recent research company polling probing showing just how comfortable Canadians were with the current state of the country's medical assistance and dying regime. | ||
| It has legalized assisted suicide. | ||
| Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We are opening up the phone lines right off the jump this morning. | ||
| 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| That's 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| We'll be taking your calls throughout this first hour before we welcome Dan Dix, who is a journalist in Lisbon, Portugal, covering Bilderberg right now. | ||
| And we'll talk quite a bit about that globalist conversation. | ||
| Coagulation. I don't know what you call it. | ||
| Meeting, coming together. | ||
| I think something that more describes the behavior of ooze is appropriate. | ||
| I'm going to call it a coagulation. | ||
| And then we'll be joined by Mike Shelby in the third hour of Grayzone Research. | ||
| Talk about his new book that helps to identify, well, helps to educate Americans on how to identify threats and In their neighborhood. | ||
| Very interesting stuff. | ||
| And excited to talk to both those guys, but excited to talk to you as well. | ||
| So give us a call. 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| Now we have a couple videos I want to play here of basically just people explaining what's going on in this country. | ||
| Glenn Greenwald and Greg Gutfeld. | ||
| We'll go to clip number 10 first. | ||
| This is Glenn Greenwald. | ||
| Trying to get across to Americans just what the implications of Durham's report truly are, what the revelations contained therein reveal about the downfall of our once great country. | ||
| Let's go now to Glenn Greenwald. | ||
|

|
The most dangerous development of all in the United States is that the intelligence agencies, the security state, is fully liberated, out in the open, not only to place their senior operatives at our major media outlets, | |
| as they have done, But to use their investigative powers and their intelligence and surveillance mechanisms to manipulate our politics, control the outcome of our elections, to destroy any political leader that gets in their way. | ||
| The interview I've shown you many times of Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader in the Senate, telling Rachel Maddow that Trump was being stupid for confronting and criticizing the intelligence community because, as he put it, everyone in Washington knows not to do that because they have six different ways to Sunday to get back to you, is really a perfect reflection Of the despotic climate that has originated in the United States. | ||
| If our intelligence agencies vested with billions and billions of dollars of Budget and the most invasive spying technologies and the most aggressive law enforcement authorities are now in the business of controlling the flow of information in the United States, | ||
| of censoring the information that flows on social media, which we know they did from the Twitter files and of deciding which candidate they want to win and which candidate they want to lose and then abusing those powers to ensure that that outcome is the one that happens We really are a democracy in name only. | ||
| That is the definition of a deep state, a permanent power faction that operates in the dark and with no constraints. | ||
| And it has no constraints of any kind on their power. | ||
| That is absolutely the reality in the United States. | ||
| Anybody who denies it is inherently a disinformation agent. | ||
| And I think there is no greater danger to all of our interests, to our core political values, than the abuse of the U.S. security state's powers, as revealed by multiple investigations, now culminating with this 306-page report. | ||
| I think he lays it out pretty well there. | ||
| I mean, there is no overstating the danger that this new normal represents if they're allowed to get away with it. | ||
| If nothing comes from this, the only thing that happens from this is Adam Schiff gets impeached. | ||
| I mean... We can just give it up as a country. | ||
| We can just stop paying attention to all this stuff. | ||
| We can just, you know... | ||
| It's like, do you think the prisoners really care about the political inter-office politics of the management of the prison? | ||
| It doesn't matter to them. They're in prison. | ||
| What do they care? There's a new warden in charge. | ||
| So what? I'm still subsisting off bread and grade F meat. | ||
| And I get an hour in the yard every day. | ||
| I mean, why would I care? | ||
| The prisoners don't get to vote on who's in charge, right? | ||
| So, you know, if we just want to live in a prison, if we just want to be subject to the whims of unelected legacy spies, then I guess we just do nothing in response to this. | ||
| Greg Gutfeld also laid this out fairly perfectly. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number 11. | ||
| You have people saying that the country will not survive Trump, then your moral duty is to cheat, right? | ||
| And you should cheat. Like, if somebody is telling everybody that this person is a modern-day Hitler, it is your duty to do whatever is possible to stop him. | ||
| In fact, if you actually play by the rules, you're a traitor. | ||
| Right? So they created a devil that was so big and so vast, it made all actions permissible. | ||
| And it made every institution, as the judge was saying, subject to suspicion. | ||
| Right? So you can bury stories, you can create hoaxes, you can fund smears. | ||
| It can go anywhere because this person must be stopped. | ||
| It's Hitler, an existential threat. | ||
| And so what happens is now we're left And none of it's true. | ||
| And so we had a half a decade hoax that infected and undermined every institution because we were made to believe this person is evil. | ||
| And then people make fun of people who are skeptical about an election. | ||
| Why shouldn't they be skeptical about an election when the DOJ and the FBI and the mainstream media and the tech companies and the Chamber of Commerce are all in on the same thing? | ||
| Why shouldn't the election be called into question, right? | ||
| Shouldn't a hero try to fix the election, right? | ||
| Shouldn't a hero do that? | ||
| If you're up against Hitler, that's where we ended up. | ||
| And you can't go and condemn people for so-called conspiracy theories when you were going around telling everybody this guy was worse than Hitler. | ||
| And he's exactly right, and it's something that we've pointed out before here. | ||
| I've used the metaphor of, like, if you're... | ||
| and you're chained in their basement, like you're allowed to do whatever the hell you want to try to get out. | ||
| You're the victim there. | ||
| They're the bad guy. | ||
| They are pure evil and they're going to kill you. | ||
| So if you need to lie or cheat or do violence, like everything's on the table, you can't be blamed for you. | ||
| No one's going to go, well, I mean, I understand. | ||
| He had you chained to a radiator in a basement, but did you have to poke him in the eye? | ||
| Like no one's going to care. | ||
| No one's going to care. | ||
| You can throw acid on his face. | ||
| It doesn't matter. All bets are off. | ||
| No holds barred at that point. | ||
| The problem is, of course, that nobody's chaining these people in their basement. | ||
| Donald Trump's not Hitler. | ||
| And, of course, you can extrapolate this out, expand it out to the various other aspects of politics and life where this exact same pattern is being carried out, whether it's with white supremacy or White supremacy, biggest threat ever. | ||
| Totally fake, but hey, now they're setting up the paradigm where if you aren't on board with eradicating white people, well, now you're going to be in trouble. | ||
| And if they have to falsify things to justify their claims of white supremacy, well, they'll do it and they're able to do it and justified doing it in their minds because of the boogeyman that they've created from whole cloth. | ||
| COVID's the exact same thing. | ||
| It's an existential threat. | ||
| It's a worldwide pandemic. | ||
| There's no time to be concerned about rule of law or proper procedure. | ||
| It's an emergency. | ||
| It's the same playbook over and over, using people's panics to abuse them. | ||
| Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We'll go out to your phone calls shortly. | ||
| I just want to point out, I had totally missed this irony. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was Benny Johnson that pointed out on Twitter. | |
| But it is pretty amazing. | ||
| So you've got a couple instances of outrage taking place. | ||
| You have the Trump-CNN town hall where he absolutely dominated that poor young woman who was assigned to interview him. | ||
| Moderate the town hall. | ||
| She, of course, is now being propped up and celebrated and given a primetime spot on CNN as their newest star. | ||
| And then simultaneous to that, you have Elon Musk coming under just massive concerted fire from the mainstream media and the ADL and various other organizations. | ||
| We're talking about George Soros saying that he was comparing him to a supervillain. | ||
| What do these two things have to do with each other? | ||
| Well, that woman who is now the liberal hero for standing up to Donald Trump once reported on Fox News about one George Soros. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number six. | ||
| Here is the woman that CNN promoted. | ||
| After her town hall with Donald Trump, on the very same day that Elon Musk was called an anti-Semite and told that he should just shut up for daring to question George Soros and even call him a supervillain. | ||
| How dare he? Well, here's the hero of the left, whatever her name is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
...to do with the immigration crisis. | |
| Good morning. Okay, so George Soros is this foreign-born left-wing guy who essentially wants to change the nature of our country. | ||
| And in this data dump, one of the memos was about the refugee crisis. | ||
| And they made three points. | ||
| They think that they've been successful at influencing immigration policy across the world. | ||
| They think that the refugee crisis is an opportunity to continue doing so. | ||
| And they think the refugee crisis is the new normal. | ||
| And George Soros is this guy who is a staunch advocate for open borders. | ||
| He wants people to be able to go wherever they want, whenever they want, for whatever reason. | ||
| And for him, he sees this immigration policy, this crisis, as a vehicle to further his immigration agenda. | ||
| Wow. Can't believe it. | ||
| There's that woman blaming the Jews for the immigration crisis. | ||
| Vicious anti-Semite. | ||
| But it's okay. | ||
| It's fine. It's fine. She's made contrition. | ||
| Now she's decided that she no longer believes the things that she used to say on camera at Fox. | ||
| Now she's over at CNN. She's reading off that teleprompter. | ||
| That's what she believes now. | ||
| It's just a delicious irony. | ||
| One of many that we experience on a daily basis in this country. | ||
| Certain people get to say certain things and other people don't. | ||
| It just depends. | ||
| It just depends on who you are, who you're useful to, how they can use you for their own ends. | ||
| That's all that really matters. Let's go out to your phone calls now. | ||
| Sean in California. You want to talk about what to do about all the election interference. | ||
| Thanks for calling in, Sean. | ||
| You're on the air. Hey, good morning, Harrison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm coming in clear as always, right? | |
| Yes, sir. Awesome. | ||
|
unidentified
|
While I'm commuting here and listening to you, I'm thinking to myself, you know, Schumer and Adam Schiff and all these guys doing their gimmick with the Russian collusion and the continued lies about Russia, wouldn't that be a form of election interference that caused harm to we the people? | |
| And I'd say that to say this, with what I've looked at so far with recent Axon Enterprise versus FTC ruling by the Supreme Court, now that it's ruled that people must have access to common law, I'm sure that we, whether as assemblies, as you know I like to talk about, or as individuals, can all find remedies in one of those three styles of court docket. | ||
| The trick we'll have to do is have people not do class action, do them individually or do them in your assembly. | ||
| Because if the class action gets wiped out in one sweep. | ||
| So they lawfare us, we got to lawfare them back. | ||
| What do you think? I think it's a good idea. | ||
| What would be the first step in that for someone who wanted to take part in this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, me, I'm going to direct people at national-assembly.net so we can form our common law grand juries which will issue the indictment, our presentments, and what your DA is up to. | |
| But other folks could probably do an individual suit. | ||
| I would imagine, let's see here, if someone's lying, I think we're good to go. | ||
| They messed around with that right before the so-called blue wave, and that affected some of the outcomes in that set of congressional races in the 2018 midterms. | ||
| So we've got to do a little research on it. | ||
| It's all manipulation, it's all deceit, and it has had devastating impacts to our electoral outcome. | ||
| Thanks so much for the call, Sean. | ||
| Very good idea. Let's go to Joe in Jersey, since we're on the topic of George Soros. | ||
| Go ahead, Joe. What do you got for us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Harrison. One thing about George Soros that I never really see brought up, and it's like, it's so funny to me because, oh, you talk bad about George Soros, that means you hate Jews. | |
| Well, George Soros has been on record multiple times saying that he doesn't believe in God. | ||
| So how is he a Jew when he is proud about saying that he doesn't believe in God? | ||
| And I brought this question up to ChatGPT. | ||
| I've been messing around with the ChatGPT just recently. | ||
| We're sort of like neutral things. | ||
| But it's funny, when you get into politics with it, you see it's true colors. | ||
| I was like, Chad, why does George Soros be called a Jew when he says that he doesn't believe in God and is on record saying it multiple times? | ||
| And funny enough, at first, the chat agreed with me, and it was like, yes, George Soros has been on record saying that he does not believe in God, but that does not mean he's not Jewish. | ||
| And It goes to saying it's like being a Jew has more to do with just religion. | ||
| It has to do with culture and ethnicity and yada yada. | ||
| So I'm just sitting there and the chat is literally gaslighting me and like changing the definition of what it means to practice a religion. | ||
| So, can it change the meaning of what it means to be a Christian? | ||
| Can it change the meaning of what it means to be a Muslim? | ||
| It doesn't mean just believing in God, right? | ||
| There's a bunch of cultural aspects to it. | ||
| It just, like, kind of shocked me. | ||
| But it brings me back to my first point about Soros. | ||
| It's like, why do we, like, kowtow to this thing of George Soros is Jewish, and you're an anti-Semite if you say anything bad about George Soros. | ||
| But he's not Jewish! | ||
| He doesn't believe in God! | ||
| He's an atheist! Well, so wouldn't that just mean that Judaism is a race, not a religion? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I guess so. | |
| But what skin color is a Jew, you know? | ||
| I thought race was a skin color. | ||
| Yes, it's all very confusing and very useful to be a religion when you want to be a religion in a race when it's beneficial to be a race. | ||
| It's all very vague out there, Joe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude, and besides... | |
| Yeah, exactly what you just said. | ||
| Convenience. Nothing means anything anymore. | ||
| Words don't mean anything anymore. | ||
| Words can change as the wind blows. | ||
| But what won't change is that George Soros is a demon. | ||
| Do you want to hear my George Soros impression before you go on to the next caller? | ||
| Sure. It's actually pretty accurate. | ||
| It's actually not bad. | ||
| It's actually not bad at all, Joe. | ||
| Thank you for the call. | ||
| Again, you know, you've got to just wonder, like... | ||
| Like, why all these people are the way they are? | ||
| Like, why... | ||
| Why do they all look like Bond villains? | ||
| Why do they all sound like Bond villains? | ||
| Like, why do all the evil people just sound... | ||
| As evil as they are, Klaus Schwab just like, we are remaking the world in my image. | ||
| Sorry, that was my Kissinger. | ||
| Sorry, they all sound the same. | ||
| Sorry, they all sound exactly the same. | ||
| Even Zelensky, we always pointed out, like when he talks, he's like, thank you for coming to me. | ||
| I'm the president of Ukraine. | ||
| It's like, who voted for this guy? | ||
| Like, what is this? | ||
| At least when he had like Obama, it was like a... | ||
| Handsome, well-spoken, sort of youthful, kind of cool guy. | ||
| Like, you at least could look at him and go, I can have a beer with that guy or whatever. | ||
| It's like, you know, there's like some pretty lady doing it. | ||
| But it's just all these old, like, emperor from Star Wars. | ||

And he's like, eh. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| Out to your phone calls once again. | ||
| There's still some open lines if you want to call. | ||
| The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| We'll be joined by Dan Dix, who's reporting live from Portugal, where the Bilderberg meeting is taking place as we speak. | ||
| Find out what he's discovering there. | ||
| And Mike Shelby in the third hour from Grayzone Research, grayzoneactivity.com, talking about local intelligence gathering. | ||
| Very, very interesting and useful topic of conversation. | ||
| Remember, you support everything that we do here by going to InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| Go now to InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| Get Survival Shield X3. | ||
| It's back in stock and 25% off the power of activated triiodine. | ||
| Now, we want to make sure that all InfoWarriors can experience the next evolution in an activated nascent iodine with a massive sale on Survival Shield X3. | ||
| And for a very limited time, you're getting X3 for 25% off. | ||
| Probably not going to last that much longer. | ||
| It's been a little while that it's been on this discount. | ||
| So, you know, we can only keep it up for as long as we have the products in store. | ||
| Now, Survival Shield X3 is derived from ancient sea salts deep beneath the surface, and it uses a newly discovered process to stabilize the nascent iodine in an activated triiodine form to bring nascent iodine amplitude off the charts. | ||
| Just like Survival Shield X2, the Survival Shield X3 formula was manufactured in a state-licensed facility in Survival Shield X3 at 25% off. | ||
| And it's that one ounce bottle, but again, the serving size of this is so small because the iodine is actually so powerful. | ||
| You only need a drop or two to actually get a full dose of it. | ||
| So these little bottles, even though they're small, 90 servings in that one little bottle. | ||
| So if you take it every day, it's like three months worth of iodine in that one little bottle and it's now 25% off. | ||
| What more reason? Do you need, other than it's a powerful product, there's tons of it, and you support the InfoWar mission to save humanity from the machinations of these evil dirtbags now gathering in Lisbon to plot our downfall. | ||
| Infowarstore.com. Let's go now out to your phone calls once again. | ||
| John in Ontario has called in about what will happen next and about Marjorie Taylor Greene's announcement. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed impeachment proceedings against both Mayorkas and Merrick Garland, which is, again, a very good start. | ||
| I said it yesterday. | ||
| It's like somebody working at a sandwich shop, lacing the sandwiches with cyanide, killing 30 people, and everybody going, you know, he should really be fired. | ||
| He should really be fired from that place. | ||
| It's a start. It's a start. | ||
| But these crimes are massive. | ||
| So they need to be treated as massive crimes. | ||
| So first get them out of office, then subject them to the punishment as denoted by law. | ||
| John in Ontario, what's your opinion on this? | ||
| What is going to happen next? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, so much to talk about, Harrison. | |
| Next, what's going to happen, it always starts small. | ||
| Things always start small when they get big. | ||
| And we're moving, I think, you know, people have postulated about this idea of a new pandemic, a new lockdown, that sort of thing. | ||
| I don't think it's going that way. | ||
| I think the signs are obvious. | ||
| I think what they're talking about in Bilderberg right now is economics and what's going to happen with the economy. | ||
| And, you know, they've been trying to destroy Western economy for a long time in a controlled way, in a way to enslave, in a way to bring people into bondage. | ||
| And it looks like the next step is—that's what they want. | ||
| They're feral after it. | ||
| They're praying for it to their own god. | ||
| So we're looking at something economic that's going to start small and cause this catastrophic event. | ||
| And that, of course, will lead us into our— Our next evolution, as they call it, their next step for us. | ||
| Yeah, the CBDCs, I mean, it's the ultimate control grid, and we've said for a long time, I mean, the Great Reset is all about creating a neo-feudal order, and the way that that order will be maintained is through debt, right? | ||
| You'll have a... You'll never actually own anything. | ||
| As they say, you'll never own anything. | ||
| Everything you have will be borrowed and you'll have to pay it back later, but you'll never actually pay it back. | ||
| You'll start in debt and you'll die in debt. | ||
| Your whole life will be like a mouse running on a wheel, not getting anywhere, trying to just pay off the debt that you've accrued simply by existing. | ||
| So yeah, it's like a debt limiter that keeps people from moving up. | ||
| So then, you know, if you appease the people at the top, they may raise your debt ceiling, as they're talking about doing with the government right now, and allow you up to that next level of income. | ||
| But it won't ever actually be income. | ||
| It's the paradigm of the company store where everything you buy is actually just adding, you know, interest to the debt that you already owes. | ||
| So yeah, it's, I mean, economics is the control mechanism now. | ||
| It is the evolution of chains of slavery. | ||
| They're not chains anymore. | ||
| It'll be a credit card and a, you know, chip in your hand connected to the bank database. | ||
| Yeah, that's exactly right, John. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, the change of the mind. | |
| And, you know, they're trying to convince us with this Psychological stuff saying, oh, we're too irresponsible. | ||
| And that's what the WEF is all about. | ||
| It's about corporate responsibility and this sharing of responsibility and that we all are in debt. | ||
| We're all just unable to make this system work. | ||
| And so we need a new system where nobody has responsibility and therefore nobody owns anything. | ||
| And that's their whole push. | ||
| And that is flying in the face of what we're trying to do, which is move forward And stuff like as simple as the iodine or as complex as, you know, laying out articles of impeachment for a sitting president. | ||
| It's all part of this war we're in, this Red Rover, where we're just, you know, our arms are almost falling off at this point. | ||
| And I think that, you know, we can look forward to something good, ultimately, even though we're going to go through something hard. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. And of course, it has a lot to do with just getting back to basics of like, what is the point of all of this? | ||
| Like, what is freedom at the end of the day? | ||
| I was thinking about this yesterday just because, you know, We have different definitions of freedom now, I think, depending on who you are. | ||
| See, we see freedom as like self-sufficiency of self-reliability where like, you know, freedom is a obligation. | ||
| You have to live up to your freedom. | ||
| You have to use it in a positive and beneficial and a way that brings prosperity or else, you know, you have to Go away. | ||
| You have to go away. I mean, that's what America used to be, right? | ||
| We had so many immigrants from places like Italy because these people would cross the ocean with nothing. | ||
| And then they were here and there was no help for them. | ||
| So they had to contribute. They had to be productive members of society. | ||
| They had to build the society they were moving into. | ||
| Now we have the welfare system where nobody has to build anything. | ||
| And so, you know, for the left, freedom is just like you get to do drugs and like... | ||
| Have lots of consequence-free sex and kill your baby if you accidentally get pregnant. | ||
| That to them is like freedom. | ||
| If they're not free to sin, they don't feel free. | ||
| They can be living in a box with a bunk bed with 12 other people eating bugs that's doled out to them by the government. | ||
| They think they're free because nobody's telling them not to... | ||
| I don't know, mutilate themselves. | ||
| That's what they see as freedom. | ||
| Like, it really is about the basic foundational definition of words like freedom and justice that we seem to be completely at odds with our fellow Americans about. | ||
| So, you know, we have to get back to the basics. | ||
| We have to understand what it is we're actually... | ||
| We have to define what it is we're fighting for or else, you know, these people who are... | ||
| I mean, they think they're free, but they're just slaves to their sin. | ||
| Once you understand that dynamic, it becomes clear what freedom really is. | ||
| Let's go. Thank you so much for the call, John. | ||
| That was excellent. Let's go to... | ||
| Oh, the person I wanted to go to just dropped, I guess. | ||
| So, no offense. | ||
| Let's go to Dave in Ohio. | ||
| You want to talk about Mueller report. | ||
| Go ahead, Dave. You're on the air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, Harrison. Hi. | |
| I want to tell you, you're my favorite host. | ||
| Congratulations again on your child. | ||
| I have three children, three grandchildren. | ||
| I turn 62 next year. | ||
| The Mueller report I have a few problems with. | ||
| First of all, we all knew what they were going to find. | ||
| Okay? And if you bring it up to a Democrat, just like Just like Alex said, they're going to deny, and then they're going to insult you. | ||
| Okay? Now I'm going to move on to prepping. | ||
| I'm going to tell you what. | ||
| I started prepping in 1995. | ||
| And the problem was then is I didn't know what I was doing. | ||
| I stored all canned and boxed goods, and they've either been eaten or thrown out. | ||
| What have you learned since then? | ||
| We're coming up to a break here, Dave. | ||
| Yep. Go ahead. | ||
| What have you learned since then about prepping? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my gosh. Well, you guys are selling storable food now, and I have about 20, 25 years worth of food for me and my wife and my oldest son. | |
| Stay in line there, Dave. We're going to start the second hour of American Journal on the other side. | ||
| We'll go back to Dave. More of your phone calls. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stay with us. Welcome back, folks. | |
| The second hour of American Journal has begun. | ||
| We are connecting with Dan Dix, an independent journalist who is on the ground in Lisbon, Portugal, at the Bilderberg meeting. | ||
| We'll finish up with some phone calls here while we get connected to him. | ||
| Dave in Ohio. You were talking about prepping, and we got cut off by the commercial. | ||
| So, yes, you can get some storable food at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| If you can tell one people about what they need to know about prepping, what would it be, Dave? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Store as much as you can. | |
| Like I said, I have about 20 to 25 years worth of food right now. | ||
| For me and my wife and my 39-year-old son, I'm putting in my first garden in probably 20 years. | ||
| And I'm just ready to go. | ||
| I own two chest freezers. | ||
| I own two refrigerator freezers. | ||
| And I have three pantries now. | ||
| I got food everywhere. | ||
| I'm ready to go, dude. | ||
| I don't need money. | ||
| I'm ready to retire. | ||
| I think my wife's going to retire at the end of this summer. | ||
| Life's getting good, although my son's in the hospital that lives with us, but he has seizures, and I couldn't get him CBD oil quick enough. | ||
| He's okay. | ||
| He'll survive, and he'll be back. | ||
| Well, it sounds like you're ready for anything, Dave. | ||
| And I mean, we all really should be. | ||
| And again, it's not that you're prepping for just the fall of civilization and nothing else. | ||
| I mean, everything is so sort of tenuous at this point that... | ||
| And as actually a previous caller pointed out, I mean, the next thing to happen will be an economic false flag of some sort. | ||
| That's what they've been lining up for a while. | ||
| And this is the way they do things, right? | ||
| They need to spread the message to all of their minions, right? | ||
| So they'll come out and they'll talk about cyber attack, cyber attack, cyber attack, cyber crisis. | ||
| This is going to happen. They're going to crash the economy. | ||
| And they, like, get everybody on board with it. | ||
| Make sure everybody is aligned with what you do once the thing starts. | ||
| Here's how we're all going to react. | ||
| And so everybody sort of on our side of things looks at it and goes, oh, look, this is what they're getting ready for. | ||
| And then they let it go quiet. Then they let it simmer down. | ||
| Then they take a couple months or maybe even a year or so, sort of let everybody forget that they were talking about that. | ||
| And then they launch the actual attack. | ||
| All of the prep work they'd done months ago is ready to go. | ||
| And yet over those months, those of us who are the watchdogs have sort of... | ||
| Turned our eye away from that because they aren't talking about it as much anymore. | ||
| So they've already done the prep work. | ||
| They've already laid the groundwork for how the economic collapse will benefit them, and they'll use it to consolidate power once again. | ||
| They already did that months ago. | ||
| Now we're just waiting for the shoe to drop. | ||
| So I think it's a good thing to be prepared with guns, ammo, food, and everything else that you need because we are rapidly descending into a South Africanization, you might say. | ||
| Thanks for that call, Dave. | ||
| I don't know if we're going to have time for more phone calls because we are about to welcome Dan Dix. | ||
| I do want to remind you to once again go to Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Please do support us. | ||

| So, search Rebels for a Cause on Twitter. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We're in the second hour of the American Journal on this Thursday, May 18th, 2023 broadcast, joined now live by Dan Dix. | ||
| He's an investigative journalist and award-winning documentary filmmaker. | ||
| He's also the founder of an independent media outlet known as Press for Truth, which produces videos and documentary films about issues that the mainstream media often fails to report on. | ||
| More like avoids like the plague, the truth about who really runs our world. | ||
| He can be found on Twitter at DanDixPFT. | ||
| The website is PressForTruth.tv. | ||
| He's also on Rumble at Press for Truth. | ||
| And he's there in Lisbon, Portugal, now reporting live on the ground at the Bilderberg Conference. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us, Mr. Dix. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Glad to be here. | ||
| Thanks for having me, guys. | ||
| Our pleasure. I wish I could be there with you, sort of confronting in a peaceful manner these Bilderberg attendees. | ||
| Give us the rundown. | ||
| What is Bilderberg this year? | ||
| Why do you think it's important to be on the ground there at Bilderberg? | ||
| Well, this just so happens to be some of the world's most powerful and influential people, a group that's comprised of approximately 120 to 130 people on average. | ||
| We're talking prime ministers and presidents and royalty, heads of military, media men, military men. | ||
| As I said, some of the world's most influential and powerful people. | ||
| And they're quite literally meeting in secret behind closed doors discussing the very fate of the world. | ||
| So, you know, I've been covering this for 17 years now. | ||
| My first one was in 2006. | ||
| And I think it's of the utmost importance to shine a bright light on the deeds that are done in the dark. | ||
| You know, when we have these type of people meeting, I think there needs to be more questions as to, you know, who's involved. | ||
| And that's some of the reasons why I often come, because in my experience of covering this, I've noticed that there's often discrepancies within the official participants list. | ||
| And unless you're actually here on the grounds documenting who's actually coming into attendance, you'll never know about these particular discrepancies. | ||
| And then once you find out some of these people who are there, you can get a better idea of some of the topics and some of the agendas that are truly on the table. | ||
| So that's why I think it's important for independent media, and anyone for that matter, to cover Bilderberg. | ||
| And that's why I made the trip all the way out here to Lisbon, Portugal. | ||
| As you can see right now behind me, we're in like a VIP area of the airport. | ||
| I was down earlier, but there's not such a great connection here. | ||
| But here, I think, is where we're going to see a lot of the more kind of high-profile Bilderberg members making their getaway into their car. | ||
| So hopefully we're going to be able to get some solid questions in with some of them here today. | ||
| You almost have to wonder how many meetings do these people need to have? | ||
| They have the World Economic Forum, they have the Global Government Summit, they have just meeting after meeting, and this is sort of the oldest, and there's been an interesting evolution over the years. | ||
| It used to be, and you can still find archived You know, articles where they say the Bilderberg meeting never happens. | ||
| It doesn't exist. It's a total conspiracy theory. | ||
| They've been outed and now they take the tack of, oh no, we're totally, it's totally open, totally good. | ||
| Here's our agenda. Here's our list of attendees. | ||
| There's nothing nefarious going on. | ||
| I mean, what does that reflect, do you think, this transformation that the Bilderberg group has undergone from a totally secret and undercover and denied? | ||
| That's happening to something where they now publish their agenda and their talking points and their list. | ||
| I mean, what brought about that transformation to you? | ||
| Well, I think it's a great deal of the pressure that we've been putting on this group. | ||
| In fact, based on my coverage of the 2012 meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, I made a full feature-length documentary film about the Bilderberg Group, and it was called The Turning Point. | ||
| And the reason why I called that film The Turning Point is because it seemed like that was around the time that marked a new kind of time for Bilderberg. | ||
| Because at that particular meeting, there were probably two to three dozen independent media reporters there. | ||
| And I remember thinking, wow, this is a whole new time for Bilderberg. | ||
| So, you know, we've learned some tricks of the trade, if you will, from the late, great Jim Tucker, you know, who would often have kind of You know, people on the inside, you know, leaking information. | ||
| And now, as we said, like you said, it's gotten to the point where they quite literally have to put this out on purpose. | ||
| It's almost like hiding in plain sight, where they don't want to, you know, say, hey, we're not hiding anything. | ||
| Look, here's our messages. | ||
| Here's what we're saying. Here's what we're doing. | ||
| But I actually think we've forced that upon them. | ||
| They've been meeting since, you know, 1954, and it's only within the last few years that they started Talking about the fact that this is happening, and I really do think that's largely because of the bright lights of publicity that we've been shining on this group, because they've remained in the shadows for so many years. | ||
| That's just simply not a thing anymore. | ||
| Now, this particular one was very difficult to get to. | ||
| As you can see, there's about Four other people here covering this with me. | ||
| It was announced very, very last minute. | ||
| And, you know, so a lot of people probably weren't making, willing to make the trip. | ||
| But our sources were correct that this is indeed the location here in Lisbon, Portugal. | ||
| So I'm thankful for that because I just went ahead and booked some tickets, you know, hoping my source was correct. | ||
| And sure enough, he was. | ||
| And this is where it's happening. | ||
| So... Yeah, it all worked out. | ||
| I think you're exactly right. | ||
| I mean, I completely agree. | ||
| I think by shining light on these people, it became ridiculous for them to try to claim that it wasn't happening. | ||
| So they had to change their tactics. | ||
| They had to move with the times and they understood, okay, it's not just the mainstream media out there with our puppeted sources willing to deny our existence. | ||
| Now you've got independent people like Alex Jones and Dan Dix out here, you know, capturing them on film going in. | ||
| They can't exactly say I wasn't there. | ||
| Their image is on film. | ||
| What are they going to say? | ||
| Someone said they have to say, no, no, yeah, we are. | ||
| All the elite of the world are meeting in secret to plot world domination, but we're doing it because we love you. | ||
| We're doing it because we care so much. | ||
| What is the security system like there? | ||
| I mean, how protected are these people? | ||
| We know from the World Economic Forum, I mean, they've got just elaborate security apparatus just surrounding them, keeping the public out. | ||
| Are you experiencing that in Lisbon today? | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, the police presence around the hotel was quite significant. | ||
| For the first time, I saw them doing a bomb sweep. | ||
| They had a number of bomb-sniffing dogs, and they went around the entire perimeter, sniffing essentially every single thing that they came across. | ||
| They had the entire thing shut down, and a giant wall around the hotel, actually. | ||
| It's like an impenetrable fortress right now. | ||
| And a lot of people don't realize that the costs are often actually put on the taxpayer of the town where the Bilderberg is actually meeting. | ||
| Because we have local police, local police here in Lisbon, Portugal, who are working, you know, 24-7 for the next four nights. | ||
| And that's on the taxpayer's dollar here in Lisbon's. | ||
| So it is a pretty extreme police presence and security presence for these guys. | ||
| And, you know, that actually says a lot, too, that they have to... | ||
| Be hiding to that degree, you know what I mean? | ||
| So, yeah, the police presence is significant here, and it makes it rather difficult to get in. | ||
| As I understand it, though, there was one of the members, he's on a steering committee. | ||
| I think he might be the CEO of Palantir. | ||
| I think his name is Karp. | ||
| Yeah, Alex Karp. | ||
| Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's been donating to the Bilderberg Group this year. | ||
| Some years he's donated $500,000, some years $800,000. | ||
| And basically he's footing some of the bill for their personal security and food and things of that nature. | ||
| But it's basically on the taxpayer when it comes to the Lisbon police and whatever other police that they use in whatever town they visit. | ||
| You know, it really is just, it's another Davos. | ||
| It's another, one of these meetings where, you know, we've played Alex Karp bragging about how his software and technology using AI would... | ||
| Sorry, there's some people talking around you, I guess. | ||
| But yeah, you know, it's these people who are coming together to talk about how to eliminate privacy on the internet. | ||
| About how, you know, if you have nothing to worry about, you should have nothing to hide. | ||
| And all of your financial records and all of your health records and everything about you will be completely open and public access and you'll be able to keep nothing secret. | ||
| But for them, it's walls and guards and police dogs and total absolute secrecy. | ||
| I mean, the watchword of these groups is hypocrisy, Dan. | ||
| I mean, it does get more ridiculous. | ||
| No, and we've got the president of the World Economic Forum, who's actually on the steering committee, coming here. | ||
| This is a man who thinks that you should own nothing and be happy. | ||
| A president of the WEF coming here, you know, meeting in secret to discuss the fate of the world. | ||
| And that's something that I'm not just going to let slip past on my watch, and that's why we're here. | ||
| This is the real global government. | ||
| Dan Dix is on the ground documenting it. | ||
| By the way, it's pressfortruth.ca is the website. | ||
| All right, welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Dix is my guest. | ||
| Skyping in live from Lisbon, Portugal, where the Bilderberg meeting is just getting kicked off. | ||
| Dan Dix is an investigative journalist and the founder of Press for Truth. | ||
| You can go to pressfortruth.ca. | ||
| I said it wrong in the first part. | ||
| It's pressfortruth.ca. | ||
| And on Rumble, at Press for Truth. | ||
| And on Twitter, Dan Dix can be found at DanDixPFT.com. | ||
| Now, you said that it was only about within the last hour or so. | ||
| Like, this meeting is just getting kicked off, and only in the last hour or so have they actually revealed the list of attendees. | ||
| Even the fact that they reveal a list of attendees is kind of a new update. | ||
| They used to, again, keep it totally secret. | ||
| What have you discovered from this list of attendees? | ||
| Have you had a chance to go through it yet, and any names jump out to you? | ||
| Well, you know, as a Canadian, I'm often interested in the Canadian connection to Bilderberg. | ||
| So I did notice that this year there is only four members from Canada. | ||
| But one of those in particular is someone who I have a great interest of in getting a hold of today, which I think she'll be coming out up here. | ||
| And that is the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland. | ||
| Now, she's been all sorts of things, you know, Minister of Finance. | ||
| She's kind of worked her way up in this thing, and now she's to the point where she's getting invited to Bilderberg. | ||
| So I discovered that it was over 10 years ago she wrote a paper titled The New... | ||
| The great elite, the new beginning for the great elite or something to that extent. | ||
| And in this paper, she talked about the Bilderberg Group and said it is a very secretive, nefarious group. | ||
| This is over a decade ago now. | ||
| So when I see her Coming out of here, I want to ask her, you know, you wrote this paper, you said that Build the Berg is a secretive group over a decade ago. | ||
| Have your views changed now that you are a member yourself, Ms. | ||
| Freeland? And obviously, it should be interesting what she has to say to that. | ||
| This is also the same lady who froze people's bank accounts, who didn't allow people to want to Meet in Canada, free assemble in our nation's capital, and, you know, completely shut that down. | ||
| Meanwhile, she's expected to be able to freely meet in complete secrecy here, discussing the fate of Canadians and others. | ||
| So I can't wait till she comes out. | ||
| She's definitely one of the ones I have my eyes on. | ||
| Yeah, I think viewers of our show will recognize her name immediately as a World Economic Forum agent. | ||
| And again, you know, all these groups, they might have different names. | ||
| I mean, this is the global government. | ||
| We've been warning for years that the global government is coming. | ||
| I would argue it's here now and you're there at the center. | ||
| It moves around. It doesn't have a capital yet. | ||
| It may one day once the temple gets rebuilt or whatever, but until then, they jump around to different cities and they come together in Congress, they set policy, and then that policy gets implemented by their national outlets, I guess you could say. | ||
| I mean, this is, for all intents and purposes, the global government in operation already working. | ||
| There's the article right there, The Rise of the New Global Elite. | ||
| By Christia Friedland, which I guess was her begging for an invitation to that global elite. | ||
| Now, I want to go quickly to a video because, as you know, from WF, all these things, they're all the same people. | ||
| Here's the WF chairman, Klaus Schwab, talking about how unimportant privacy is. | ||
| Let's watch. He says, in this new world, we must accept transparency. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'll even say, total transparency. | |
| He says, banking secrecy, everything is going to be transparent. | ||
| And you have to get used to it. | ||
| You have to behave accordingly. | ||
| It becomes, how should I put it, integrated in your personality. | ||
| But if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be afraid. | ||
| That's for you. I mean, when they say you will own nothing and you will have no privacy, they're talking to you, not them. | ||
| As you've seen, they'll have total privacy. | ||
| I mean, you know, how do you even confront this level of hypocrisy where they've got armed guards and you just saw during the break there, we saw a giant motorcade going by with the blacked out windows. | ||
| I mean, total secrecy for them, none for us. | ||
| Doesn't that just represent the whole setup that this new global government is building for us? | ||
| Oh, absolutely. And when it comes to, you know, confronting these guys, you know, I've learned over the years, there's a lot of different ways that you can approach this. | ||
| Obviously, anybody gets on the defensive when you walk up to their, you know, with a camera in their face and you start, you know, shouting questions at them. | ||
| So I obviously have a very much of a different approach. | ||
| Sometimes, you know, if you just kind of flatter their ego a little bit, you know, they will be a little more inclined to want to speak to you and maybe potentially divulge some information that you're trying to figure out. | ||
| So, you know, I've learned that over the years. | ||
| So my approach is a little bit different now. | ||
| I kind of always was taking this approach, but I think that's important is to remain calm and to, you know, not raise your voice or anything like that. | ||
| Now, these people... | ||
| You know, deserve this to a great extent. | ||
| But I think it's important if you actually want to get a conversation going is to keep the peace and remain calm. | ||
| And then you have a, you know, pretty good chance of getting some responses to your questions that certainly none of the mainstream media is going to ask, you know? | ||
| And this is why we're here. You just think about it. | ||
| The lyric rates, Jim Tucker used to say this all the time. | ||
| If there was 120... Movie stars and famous athletes meeting in this building behind lockdown. | ||
| So many journalists, thousands, would be outside wondering, what the heck are these guys talking about in there? | ||
| Here you have, again, some of the world's most powerful and influential people, and it's a complete media blackout. | ||
| This is why we take the effort to get down here, because if nobody's going to shine a light on what these guys are doing, basically somebody has to do it. | ||
| The mainstream media is absolutely failing in their job to do so. | ||
| And so, yeah, that's why we're here right now at the airport in Lisbon, attempting to confront these guys doing the job the mainstream media is not willing to do. | ||
| You know, it's not even that they're not willing to. | ||
| I totally agree with you. | ||
| But, you know, you go through this list. | ||
| I'm going to go through the list because it has been published now and we have it. | ||
| But, you know, I know you don't have a lot of time, so I'm not going to spend time reading the names while we have you on. | ||
| But I'll do that in the next segment. | ||
| But when you start going through these, you start seeing staff writer at The Atlantic, editor of Newsweek. | ||
| You know, you start seeing members of the mainstream media there at the meeting. | ||
| So it's not like they're just failing to cover this big story. | ||
| I mean, they're in on it. That's the real story, isn't it? | ||
| Well, yes. Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| You know, a lot of the representatives of the media are on the inside. | ||
| They operate under something that's called Chatham House Rules, where they have essentially agreed to just, you know, be tight-lipped. | ||
| There's no minutes of the meetings that are kept or anything of that nature. | ||
| And, again, a complete media lockdown, blackout, even though some of the biggest people in media are, in fact, in here. | ||
| So, you know, in previous years, I've had the opportunity to confront some of these media moguls. | ||
| Matthias Dopfner was one of them. | ||
| He owns, you know, a lot of... | ||
| And I managed to confront him about their post-truth world agenda topic from last year. | ||
| And again, yes, you make a good point. | ||
| It says a lot that the media are actually on the inside here and not even reporting on it, but that's because they've been instructed to do so. | ||
| I've got a very funny story about meeting some of the mainstream media at the Bilderberg in Austria when I actually infiltrated the group and managed to get on the inside of the hotel during lockdown because they mistake me for a member of the White House Press Corps and I found out that the White House Press Corps was staying in the Bilderberg Hotel Not even knowing what was going on there, they were traveling to Munich to cover the G7. And so when I said, do you not know what's happening in this very hotel where you're staying right now? | ||
| They had no clue. | ||
| So that says a lot right there. | ||
| It absolutely does, Dan. | ||
| It just seems like just about every Bilderberg, something like that happens. | ||
| And we rely on people like you getting us this information. | ||
| It's DanDix at DanDixPFT on Twitter. | ||
| The website is PressForTruth.ca. | ||
| Press for Truth on Rumble. Thank you so much for being with us, sir. | ||
| And good luck on your mission. | ||
| Thank you. Stay tuned, guys. | ||
| Yeah, press for truth. Been by the heroic and... | ||
| Indefatigable coverage by people like Alex Jones, it was exposed. | ||
| I mean, you can't deny it when you've got independent investigators on the ground photographing and filming these people all entering the hotels. | ||
| Like, obviously something's going on here. | ||
| Now, originally what they said was, well, we meet up, but it's just like, you know, a little glad-handing, a little just hanging out, talking about whatever. | ||
| No policy gets set. | ||
| But then, of course, that also was a lie that was exposed when some of our cameramen found captured footage of one of the very important people going in and Rob Doe. | ||
| I'm not sure if Rob Doe's in yet, but he was the one that captured it and he could tell you who it is exactly. | ||
| But it was, you know, just one of these globalist masters of the world, the controllers, as Huxley calls them, going into one of these meetings and accidentally spilling his briefcase, spilling his suitcase. | ||
| and it was just full of policy papers. | ||
| The whole thing was stuffed with paper, so it's like, they're like, we're not doing any policy things in here, and then you capture them on film with stacks and stacks of paper, and for their meetings that they're having they're obviously setting policy in there and the other obvious part about it is they go to these meetings they discuss topics of importance such as censorship and then they all leave and go back to their countries of origin to implement the policy that has been decided on by Bilderberg at the real the real global government that's actually taking place now as of just an hour or two ago the list has been published of attendees to Bilderberg And we'll go through that in just a second. | ||
| But real dedicated InfoWarriors will know that my first appearance on InfoWars years ago was at the Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly. | ||
| We were there with David Knight and Owen Schroyer and myself, and I went as a cameraman. | ||
| But while we were there, we got a hold of the... | ||
| Meetings notes, the minutes, you know, what they were going to be talking about when because, you know, they had different talks with different titles. | ||
| And the video was called something like, you know, translating globalist doublespeak or something because you could read through the lines and see what they're really talking about, right? | ||
| They would have a headline that was something like countering disinformation. | ||
| And that's just globalist doublespeak for imposing censorship, right? | ||
| It's all so you can actually see their agenda. | ||
| Through their published material, even though their published material is deceptive and couched in terms that most people wouldn't see as being objectionable, right? | ||
| If they're like, well, countering disinformation, yeah, they should counter disinformation. | ||
| Well, if you know what these people are really up to, countering disinformation means censoring reality, censoring the truth, silencing people who expose what we're really up to. | ||
| So that was the first time I'd ever been on Actually, I was there to film Owen, and after he did a report, I was like, you mind if we do a little switcheroo here? | ||
| And boy, was I nervous putting my face on camera to talk about this stuff. | ||
| But it's important to expose this. | ||
| It's important to talk about this. | ||
| It's important to understand just how powerful these groups are. | ||
| And the list of attendees really exposes... | ||
| Just how thoroughly integrated this group is with the power structures across the world. | ||
| The list has been posted by Jason Bermas on Twitter, Bilderberg2023 attendee list. | ||
| Let's just go through and see what names we recognize. | ||
| Number one is, of course, Stacey Abrams. | ||
| So, I mean, sure, she's never won anything. | ||
| She's not actually anybody important. | ||
| She's failed continuously to either become governor of Georgia or, you know, claim voter fraud and manipulated election to scheme her way into that position. | ||
| It's never worked, but she's still being held up and propped up as a star. | ||
| And you wonder why this woman is just repulsive on every level. | ||
| Well, it's because clearly she's willing to do the bidding of the global government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She did win an award for ADA's Most Wanted. | |
| Oh, okay. Well, I don't even know what ADA is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The American Dental Association. They're coming after that gap in her front teeth. | |
| Hey, hey now. | ||
| That's pretty funny. Yeah, so Stacey Abrams and the gap in her teeth are there in Portugal right now. | ||
| Whistling away. Sam Altman is there. | ||
| He's, of course, the CEO of OpenAI that runs ChatGPT. | ||
| There to make sure that the manipulation of AI, the introduction of AI is being done in a way that comports to the demands of the global tyrannical unelected government. | ||
| Even without even looking at the names, just going through where these people are from, you've got USA, Germany, Canada, Spain, USA, Italy, Sweden, USA, Portugal, whatever PRT is. | ||
| Again, just from across the world, some of the most powerful people in these countries coming together. | ||
| You've got Ann Applebaum. | ||
| She's the staff writer for The Atlantic that you may have heard about on this show before. | ||
| Moving on, we have... | ||
| Albert Borla, CEO and Chair of Pfizer Incorporated, of course, because, hey, what would global government be without the medical institutions doing their bidding as well? | ||
| You've got As we move down here, I mean, you can read them for yourself, and I'm sure some of you will recognize some of the names that I might be missing. | ||
| There's a lot of people to get to. | ||
| Brian Deese is the former director of the National Economic Council from the USA. Jen Easterly is the director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency here in America. | ||
| She's there as well. | ||
| You've got Chrystia Friedland, that's the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, as Dan Dix was just discussing. | ||
| She, of course, is the infiltrator, the agent, the globalist agent inside the Canadian executive. | ||
| And that's another really good way to think about this is, I mean, it is a global government issue. | ||
| But it operates more like a global mafia. | ||
| Because if there's a member of the mafia in your institution, you run a company and you find out that one of your managing directors is a member of the mafia, you think that they're using their position in the mafia to benefit your company, or are they using their position in your company to benefit the mafia? | ||
| Where does their loyalty really lie? | ||
| It's not that difficult of a question to answer. | ||
| Come to a conclusion on, and obviously these people are agents of the globalists, agents of the new global government within the national structure, and that's how they implement their policies that they decide on and are dictated at these meetings such as Bilderberg. | ||
| So that's another name that folks will probably recognize from... | ||
| Kenneth Griffin is the founder and CEO of Citadel LLC, again from America. | ||
| You also have Averill Haynes, of course. | ||
| She's the Director of National Intelligence, currently involved in... | ||
| Secretly restarting the disinformation advisory board, doing it under a different name and with less public scrutiny because it doesn't matter what the public wants. | ||
| It's what they want. They get what they want. | ||
| And she, of course, was a primary mover and one of the main directors and managers of the Event 201 system. | ||
| We played video of her talking to her Chinese counterpart about how they would cover up any claims of this being a lab-created virus and how they would use the media to dissuade people from From coming to that conclusion. | ||
| And then, of course, shortly after that, she became the Director of National Intelligence. | ||
| She is now traitorously engaged in secret international meetings with foreign governments completely outside the supervision or oversight of the duly elected government in this country. | ||
| Alex Karp, Palantir Technology, played his video many times from Davos where he talks about The way in which their technology has secretly and without the permission or knowledge of the people of Europe guided the politics of Europe to be more friendly to the global government. | ||
| In his words, they single handedly stopped the rise of the far right in Europe. | ||
| Everybody has to ask yourselves, is this the world that we want? | ||
| Do we want to live in a world where unelected, unaccountable, technocratic psychopaths get to dictate for an entire continent what their political policy is without the knowledge or permission of the citizens? | ||
| And then they call that democracy and send you to war to defend it? | ||
| We'll go back to the list on the other side. | ||
| Welcome back folks. | ||
| We are going through the just now released as of a few hours ago two hours ago this list of Bilderberg attendees dropped and we are going through it live with you here and you'll see as we continue certain Certain industries being represented over and over, | ||
| certain organizations, certain names that you'll recognize from our previous coverage, such as Averill Haynes, who was one of the directors of the Event 201 program, discussing with her Chinese counterpart how to silence discussion about the source of COVID and it being from a lab. | ||
| And of course she was given the Director of National Intelligence position here in America. | ||
| And it really, you know, again, another person that you can play Wikipedia hopscotch with and just cover the whole gamut. | ||
| I mean, there's just certain people that are just involved in all of this at every level. | ||
| And you'll recognize those names. | ||
| So again, as we go through, you're seeing things like Chrystia Friedland, who was the one who was behind the destroying and elimination of bank accounts for truckers in Canada. | ||
| She's the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and is an agent of the World Economic Forum, just like Justin Trudeau. | ||
| Kenneth Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel LLC. April Haynes, the one I just pointed out. | ||
| Alex Karp, who is the CEO of Palantir Technologies, whose technology is being used to Just change the entire political landscape of entire continents against the wishes, against the wills, and outside of the knowledge of the people of those continents. | ||
| This is the level of control that they demand over the entire world. | ||
| Of course, you have a defense editor of The Economist in there as well. | ||
| Trying to highlight it live here. | ||
| It's not working. That's fine. | ||
| Henry Kissinger is there as well. | ||
| He's apparently still alive and traveling around and sowing chaos. | ||
| Senior Fellow of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Andrei Kolesnikov is there. | ||
| You also have, of course, members of the media with Kazia Kaley of Poland, the President and Managing Director of Warner Bros. | ||
| Discovery. You have... | ||
| As we keep going down here, Shadow Secretary of State Affairs, House of Commons from Great Britain. | ||
| You have, of course, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. | ||
| Who else do we have in here? | ||
| Sana Marin, the... | ||
| I believe former Prime Minister of Finland. | ||
| I don't believe she's still the Prime Minister. | ||
| I think she's been voted out. I guess she's probably still in office, but she won't be because she's lost her last election, if I remember correctly. | ||
| You have the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg LP, John Mickelwaith. | ||
| He, of course, runs the company Bloomberg that... | ||
| Covered a few days ago, was celebrating the fact that South Africa can't keep its lights on, that it has a rolling 12-hour-a-day brownout, blackout, no-power situations that's grinding their industrial capacity to a halt. | ||
| And this is a good thing, according to Bloomberg, because they're meeting their climate goals. | ||
| So again, you'll recognize editor-in-chief of The Economist, Zannie Minton-Bados. | ||
| You'll recognize members of the media, members of technology, members of politics, like politicians, but not politicians. | ||
| Politicians are people who, you know, make policy and have to run on it. | ||
| Not that. More like the deep state politicians. | ||
| More like Averill Haynes. | ||
| People who have never been elected by anybody. | ||
| Nobody's ever cast a vote for them. | ||
| And yet they hold ultimate control in this country and others. | ||
| These are the types of trends that you see. | ||
| Members of the House of Lords. | ||
| You've got Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, CEO of Ryanair Group, one of the biggest airlines in Europe. | ||
| Got a distinguished visiting fellow of the Hoover Institution, Matthew Pottinger. | ||
| And it just goes on and on. | ||
| There's some other big ones here. | ||
| You've got Mark Root, of course. | ||
| He's the Prime Minister of the Netherlands who's helping to carry out the World Economic Forum repatriation of land, the expulsion of farming families from their land that they've been on for generations to make room for more migrants and more factory farms. | ||
| So Mark Root is there in his position as agent of the globalists. | ||
| A senior fellow of the Hudson Institute. | ||
| Alexander Schallenberger, Minister for European and International Affairs. | ||
| You've got Eric Schmidt, the former CEO and Chair of Google, of course. | ||
| You've got members of European Parliament. | ||
| Secretary General of NATO is there, Stoltenberg. | ||
| Of course, you've got the TATA Chair for Strategic Affairs of the Carnegie Endowment. | ||
| You've got Peter Thiel, president of Thiel Capital LLC, co-founder of Palantir. | ||
| The Goldman Sachs Group is represented there, of course. | ||
| And Thomas Wright, the Senior Director for Strategic Planning of the National Security Council. | ||
| So these are just the names that are public. | ||
| There are probably more that are not noted on there. | ||
| But even just from this list, what do you see? | ||
| You see a giant cross-section of the most important and powerful people from all over the world coming together to discuss and set policy outside of the supervision, outside of even the knowledge of the duly elected democratic representatives of these countries. | ||
| And it's a who's who of people just imposing unnecessary, undesired regulations on their people, whether it's Chrystia Friedland canceling bank accounts when truckers are protesting their government. | ||
| Outrageous demands for vaccine passports, vaccine IDs, and digital IDs. | ||
| She was the one who helped to shut down that bank account and then defended the process. | ||
| I'm sure you heard a lot about Christia Freeland while we were covering the trucker protest in Ottawa. | ||
| You have Mark Root, the PM of the Netherlands, who's currently engaged in the wholesale expropriation of land from their farmers. | ||
| Under the guise of climate change regulations, of net zero, whatever other phrase they tack on to their policy of destruction, as they force family farms to close so that they can build more apartment blocks, import millions upon millions of foreigners, and replace what were previously used. | ||
| Rolling hills covered in grazing cattle with some sort of dystopian concrete block factory farm pig prison or bug factory. | ||
| You have, of course, Eric Schmidt, Alex Carr, Palantir, Google, all of the big tech organizations. | ||
| You don't have a lot of people from MSM on this platform. | ||
| On this list, but certainly they're in attendance, and there were a few listed here, as well as the think tanks. | ||
| You've got think tanks, you've got governments, you've got technology organizations, you've got Goldman Sachs and banking organizations. | ||
| This is the global government. | ||
| I mean, it can't be any more clear than that. | ||
| We are not warning about a global government. | ||
| We are currently living under a global government. | ||
| These are People who were ostensibly elected to prioritize and to administer over their country for the benefit of the people in those countries. | ||
| But they're currently as we speak arriving in Portugal to get together with international forces to set policy that is totally at odds with the desires and demands of the people in the countries where they live. | ||
| And they're working out with the big tech companies. | ||
| How do we do this? | ||
| And how do we get people to go along with it? | ||
| How do we use AI and all these programs? | ||
| I mean, Sam Altman's there, right? | ||
| CEO of OpenAI, which runs ChatGPT, which is just the public and available level of AI that they're willing to let you know that they have, which means the AI that they really have is many years advanced from what they've made public. | ||
| and they're using it currently, as they've admitted, to alter completely the outcome of elections, the outcome of political movements. | ||
| I mean, these people have the power already as we speak. | ||
| This is not projection. | ||
| This is not prognostication. | ||
| This is not looking forward into the future and saying, here's what may happen if we allow this to continue. | ||
| These people, as we speak, have already engaged in these programs. | ||
| They have already drastically altered the fate of the world and of history itself by changing the outcome of elections, altering the trajectory of national movements to their own ends, for their own desires, and in complete and total opposition to the people on the ground who actually are affected and in complete and total opposition to the people on the ground We've mentioned it many times, but the examples are endless at this point. | ||
| Whether it's the 15-minute cities in Oxford, whether it's the farm appropriations in the Netherlands, Whether it's the digital currency anywhere else in the world, every time these things are put to a vote, the immigration in Ireland, every single time it comes out to at least 80% of the people polled or against it, it gets imposed anyway. | ||
| Then they start a war in Ukraine and tell you, you have to go fight and die, and you have to risk getting bombed to death by a nuclear assault for democracy. | ||
| White supremacy, as I did my inaugural address to single out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland, is white supremacy. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Congress, I'll give you five damn good reasons why the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden, should be impeached. | ||
| And I'll make it easy. I won't even bring up the fraudulent elections. | ||
| Number one, treason. | ||
| Chinese nationals affiliated with the Bidens created limited liability companies in the United States and then in a short period of time transferred their interest to a Chinese company that sent money to the Bidens. | ||
| Number two, mental fitness. | ||
| According to the 25th Amendment, Joe Biden does not have the mental fitness to be president, and even he knows it. | ||
| You know, you don't have to stand every time I hear hail of the chief wonder, where the hell is he? | ||
| It took me a long while. You think I'm joking? | ||
| I'm not. Turn around and where's the president? | ||
| Number three, economic sabotage. | ||
| Joe Biden has single-handedly driven the nation to the brink of a collapse after shutting down our resources, depleting our oil reserves, and bleeding our military dry. | ||
| All in the name of a foreign globalist agenda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Number four. All the kids under the age of 15, come on up here. | |
| Heinous felonies. | ||
| There may be compromising evidence that Joe Biden is a hardcore pedophile behind closed doors while overseeing a global sex trafficking operation. | ||
| And five, national security breach. | ||
| Aside from allowing the Chinese to gather key information on our military installations via spy balloons. | ||
| The idea that there was a dereliction of duty, I think, is a bizarre notion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Biden told the crowd at a private fundraiser in New York, we have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis. | |
| Don't think there is any such thing as the ability to easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon. | ||
| Since Joe Biden took office, 5 million illegal border crossers encountered. | ||
| 2 million illegal aliens have released into the country. | ||
| Another 2 million. Over 370,000 unaccompanied alien children have been encountered on the border. | ||
| And the Biden administration has lost track of 85,000 kids. | ||
| 85,000 of that number. | ||
| And nearly 200 on the terrorist watch list have been encountered on our border. | ||
| Here's the kicker. It's all been done intentionally. | ||
| Day one, January 20th, 2021, Joe Biden said no more wall, no more remain in Mexico. | ||
| You get to the border, you get released into the country. | ||
| Of course, Joe Biden is merely the current visage of a cabal caught with their pants down by the Durham investigation, a treasonous bureaucratic media monstrosity that knowingly lied to the American people, yet faces no repercussions. | ||
|

|
Do you have direct evidence of collusion with Russia? | |
| Well, I think there is direct evidence. | ||
| While there is abundant evidence of collusion, but as I've said along, there's plenty of evidence of collusion. | ||
| Donald Trump engaged in perverted acts with prostitutes. | ||
| In reality, A, a bunch of the dossier has proven to be true. | ||
| The FBI and the CIA have reportedly validated parts of it as true. | ||
| Investigators have corroborated part of the dossier. | ||
| The dossier has been corroborated by the intelligence community. | ||
| U.S. investigators have corroborated some of the allegations in that dossier. | ||
| We do know that parts of it have been corroborated. | ||
| Some of it, we did corroborate in the ICA, and of course it appears that more of it has been corroborated. | ||
| Many of the things represented in the Steele reports were in fact true. | ||
| So Andrew, in the Durham report, it says the FBI never had evidence of collusion, that's not a legal term we should note, between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016, should never have launched a full investigation. | ||
| What's your response? Yeah, I vehemently disagree with Mr. | ||
| Durham's characterizations of what we did in the report. | ||
| The time for weaponizing the Department of Justice needs to come to an end. | ||
| And because you refuse to prosecute real criminals that are violating all the crimes here in Washington, D.C., and you want to talk about D.C. residents, they are victims. | ||
| All right, folks, you can find and share that video. | ||
| It's the latest from John Bowne at banned.video and infowars.com. | ||
| The time to impeach has come. | ||
| That came like two years ago, so let's get to it. | ||
| Let's do it. Let's impeach. | ||
| At least, like to start. | ||
| At the very beginning, we'll impeach. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| The third hour of this Frontline Wartime broadcast has begun. | ||
| Reporting to you live from the Frontlines of the Infowar. | ||
| Here from Austin, Texas, I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| My guest this hour is Mike Shelby. | ||
| He's a former intelligence NCO and contractor, and he runs grayzoneactivity.com, a private threat intelligence website that provides education on identifying and navigating low-intensity conflicts. | ||
| His Twitter is at grayzonersearch.com. | ||
| So it's like research, but there's no E in the beginning. | ||
| So Grayzone, our search on Twitter, grayzoneactivity.com. | ||
| And he's here to discuss, amongst other things, his new book, The Area Intelligence Handbook. | ||
| It's called The Area Intelligence Handbook. | ||
| And you can find links to where to buy that on grayzoneactivity.com. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us once again, Mr. | ||
| Shelby. Hey, Harrison. | ||
| How are you? Thanks for having me. I'm good. | ||
| Thank you for coming on. | ||
| Now, in the last hour, we discussed sort of the biggest, widest-spectrum Globalist activity, that is the elites in Portugal at Bilderberg, like the highest level, the widest spread. | ||
| Now we're going to the opposite end of the spectrum. | ||
| So instead of what the elites are doing in Portugal, we're going to talk about what you can do in your neighborhood and sort of the smallest level of this conflict going on, which is what you specialize in. | ||
| Tell us about your book. Tell us about your concepts and what you think people need to know as we enter into a more uncertain, unstable, and disaster-prone world. | ||
| Well, information matters. | ||
| And that's really the bottom line of the Area Intelligence Handbook. | ||
| It's a new book that we just published. | ||
| It's available at greyzonestore.com. | ||
| And global events matter. | ||
| What's happening in Bilderberg, what the globalists are doing, what's happening in the South China Sea with Taiwan and Ukraine, what's happening in Latin America. | ||
| All these things matter to the United States. | ||
| But what matters more is what's happening locally, out your front door, down the road, in your community. | ||
| And it's very easy to get wrapped up, especially with the mainstream media. | ||
| You know, they want everyone to get wrapped around the axle about whatever message they're trying to push. | ||
| But the reality is the things that are going to affect us most immediately are happening right outside our door. | ||
| And so the question is, you know, we can anticipate these future events or these strategic level conditions. | ||
| And the question really is, how do we identify the follow-on effects? | ||
| NATO and Russia get into a hot war. | ||
| The United States gets into a hot war with China, et cetera. | ||
| Hundreds of thousands, actually millions, maybe tens of millions at this point of illegals are coming over the border, and they're coming to your community. | ||
| How does that change your community? | ||
| I want to promote this idea that the more we understand about our local environment, our local community, the better we can prepare for the things that are going to immediately and directly impact us. | ||
| Another reality is, I teach a lot of preparedness groups and people into emergency preparedness, and I ask them what are some things they're preparing for, and they say EMP, World War, hyperinflation, dollar collapse, societal collapse. | ||
| These people are fixated on this big strategic event. | ||
| And what many of them are missing is how that affects them at the local level. | ||
| And so the Area Intelligence Handbook is how to find the information that you need. | ||
| First, what information do you need? | ||
| Where is it? How do we collect it? | ||
| And then how do we put it into an area study so we can assess our area and identify what's going to break ahead of time and then work towards preparing for that specific event that we can expect in the future. | ||
| Right. Once the event happens, it's too late to start doing research at that point, right? | ||
| You want to be prepared. And hey, if no major event ever comes, well, there's probably in your lifetime, probably in the next couple of years, there's going to be some sort of ecological disaster, whether it's a flood or a tornado or a hurricane, depending on where you live. | ||
| This is information that will be good to have, regardless of what the future holds for us. | ||
| It's like really a win-win situation here. | ||
| There's no reason not to do what you're discussing. | ||
| Can you define for us what is an area study and why should our audience be interested in carrying one out themselves? | ||
| Well, it's really easy to be reductionist and boil an area study down to a collection of local information. | ||
| I have people tell me all the time, oh, Mike, I've lived here for 30 years. | ||
| I know this area like the back of my hand. | ||
| And that's great. | ||
| Being a subject matter expert on your area is required to being the best prepared for future events that you can be. | ||
| My message is, all right, let's formalize that. | ||
| That's in your brain. Let's put that down on paper. | ||
| Let's get our families involved or a preparedness group or a mutual assistance group or a neighborhood watch or whatever organization you may have. | ||
| You know, your local tribe, because that's really what we need to be building here is we need to be organizing locally because these are the people who can help us or hurt us during an emergency. | ||
| I want more people who are going to help me than hurt me. | ||
| And so, you know, the task is how we... | ||
| How we gather this local information, because it's going to tell us exactly what we need to be preparing for. | ||
| We're looking for things that are going to break, for the things that are going to go sideways. | ||
| And this can be an imminent, or not necessarily imminent, but an overnight catastrophic event, like some low likelihood but very high impact type event. | ||
| or what I think is going to happen. | ||
| I mean, we're in for years, if not decades worth of decline into the third world, and we're already seeing this across a lot of the United States. | ||
| And some people are moving away from that, which is great. | ||
| An area study can help you understand what your area might look like in a few years. | ||
| You know, something happens to your area, a new politician gets elected, critical infrastructure is strained, A lot of things could happen that might make you want to leave an area. | ||
| I've had students do multiple area studies on real estate properties they're looking for because they're moving. | ||
| They're trying to get out of the city. They're trying to get out of California. | ||
| They're trying to move somewhere better. | ||
| And a lot of people, unfortunately, are buying these retreat properties and they don't know what they're getting themselves into. | ||
| They just say, oh, it's a nice house and I like living up in the mountains. | ||
| They don't understand the tribal dynamics of those mountains. | ||
| So I think a lot of people think that they do that or they think they're moving to safety when in reality they're the dudes on the other team. | ||
| They're not the locals. | ||
| And that's just another dynamic, something we want to look at in our area study. | ||
| I like that you mentioned the part about tribes because it does seem like what you're sort of advocating for feels natural. | ||
| And I know, you know, in my neighborhood, the more I know my neighbors, the more I get to know them and understand who they are, the more comfortable I feel just like in my own house and in my own neighborhood knowing like, hey, if something happens, my neighbors are looking out for me. | ||
| I know that guy's got a camera. | ||
| I know that guy's got guns. | ||
| I know who everybody is and we all know each other. | ||
| And there's just a sense of comfort and of assurity that doesn't come when you're just an isolated, disconnected individual in this larger group. | ||
| So talk a little bit more about that aspect, about building tribes. | ||
| I mean, it's something so innate and natural to us. | ||
| We've lost it over the last couple of decades or maybe centuries. | ||
| How do we rebuild that? | ||
| How do we reestablish that sort of I don't know, tribal lifestyle, maybe that gives the wrong impression, but knowing your neighbors and being a part of a larger group, not just a separate, individual, atomized person. | ||
| Talk a little bit about building tribes. | ||
| Sure. Well, let's think about this. | ||
| If your area is going to collapse into the third world, do you want to be by yourself? | ||
| Do you just want to go to bed praying every night that no one bothers you? | ||
| Or do you want to have some kind of neighborhood watch set up? | ||
| Or maybe an area preparedness network? | ||
| Being able to communicate and share information with like-minded people, being able to call on people to come help you. | ||
| I'm always reminded, I don't know, probably 10 years ago, I think there was a case in Idaho, and some law enforcement was showing up to a veteran's home to red flag his, come take his firearms, which is unconstitutional. | ||
| And a bunch of his veteran buddies came out and stood on the lawn, and they wouldn't let law enforcement do that. | ||
| We wouldn't let law enforcement violate his rights. | ||
| And so maybe that's an extreme example. | ||
| But that guy had tribe. | ||
| That guy had people that he could count on. | ||
| And maybe tomorrow it's a criminal or maybe it's a local gang. | ||
| And so, yeah, people matter. | ||
| In low-intensity conflict, this is war, but it's beneath the threshold of conventional war. | ||
| So we're not talking about bombers and tanks in the streets. | ||
| But it exists above routine peaceful competition. | ||
| It's called low-intensity conflict, and it is a Cold War or a hot piece or however you want to describe it, but it's two sides at war. | ||
| It's tribal conflict, and that is what the United States is descending into. | ||
| Low-intensity conflict includes things like insurgency and terrorism, guerrilla warfare, popular revolutions, things that we have seen in the United States over the past several years. | ||
| In low-intensity conflict, it's not the guy with the most guns who wins. | ||
| It's the guy who can bring the most amount of people to the fight. | ||
| 100%. Yeah, we need political, social, and economic power to deal with those things. | ||
| 100%. I love it. And all these terms, I mean, so many terms you've introduced me to have been stuck in my mind, and I think about them all the time. | ||
| Low-intensity conflict is one of those, and area study will probably be a new one. | ||
| We'll be back on the other side with Mike Shelby. | ||
| Don't go anywhere, folks. Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| My guest is Mike Shelby of Grayzone Research. | ||
| You can follow him on Twitter at GrayzoneRSearch. | ||
| It's like research, but it's missing that first E. GrayzoneRSearch. | ||
| The website is grayzoneactivity.com. | ||
| He has a new book called The Area Intelligence Handbook, and you can buy that at grayzonestore.com. | ||
| And again, this really feels like something that you can do, that you can actually do in your own life, in your own neighborhood and see immediate results, right? | ||
| This isn't like, well, I'm going to get involved in local politics and then you campaign and vote and your guy loses anyway. | ||
| And you feel like, well, why did I even do that? | ||
| This is something that like, you're going to have a positive outcome because at the very least you're meeting your neighbors, you're gaining knowledge and information about your neighborhood. | ||
| I mean, I think it's just such a positive thing to do and everybody should be doing it. | ||
| So I was actually thinking about this, Mike, and I was thinking about you while I was considering this because in my neighborhood, I was thinking, what if everything breaks down? | ||
| What if suddenly my neighborhood is like a, you know, a self-sufficient kind of mini state where we all have to look after each other and maybe the electricity grid goes down? | ||
| Who would be in charge? | ||
| Who would be in charge of our de facto militia that we have to create there? | ||
| I'd like to think it was me. | ||
| I'd like to think I'd be able to take a leadership role in this militia. | ||
| But I realized I'd probably be second to the house at the end of my block that just always has 10 cars out in front of it. | ||
| And there's always a card table on the lawn with people, you know, with 20 people there playing music. | ||
| And I mean, it's sort of a hub of activity. | ||
| I'm thinking whoever is the patriarch of that house, he'll probably be in charge because he's got the most people already. | ||
| And they'll go there and they'll centralize there. | ||
| And I mean, that's when you break it all down, when society breaks down, I mean, that really is power, isn't it? | ||
| A big family, lots of friends. | ||
| I mean, that's what'll keep you going and keep you alive when everything falls It is. | ||
| That's another reason why I really encourage people to build a neighborhood watch. | ||
| You can start one or join one. | ||
| It is a de facto intelligence network. | ||
| And that's another reason why we want to do our area study. | ||
| We're looking out for the individuals and the people and the groups who are already in our area. | ||
| And I don't mean this in a negative way, but we want to co-opt those pre-established groups. | ||
| I want to get those people. If there's already a group that's like-minded, that's similar to me, we think the same way, we want the same things, we both want safety and security for our families and our community. | ||
| Yeah, I want to bring those people into my network. | ||
| And so if I'm able to inform and influence them and show them that Maybe there's a plan. | ||
| Maybe we can use some of our authority. | ||
| Some people have unique skills from being veterans. | ||
| Lots of people have many different ways that they can use their authority to lead one of these groups. | ||
| And so it takes good local leadership at the local level. | ||
| And if a Mad Max scenario, that's not my base case, but it's possible. | ||
| It's not 0%. | ||
| If that were to happen, people matter. | ||
| As an intelligence guy, People are censors. | ||
| In the Army, we said every soldier is a censor. | ||
| And in my preparedness network, I've started a multi-county preparedness network. | ||
| We have meetings once a month. | ||
| We offer free training. We invite everyone out from the community. | ||
| And, you know, we've done stop the bleed, active shooter considerations, cold weather injury treatment and prevention. | ||
| And so we give... | ||
| Real world, kind of real life training. | ||
| And then they come to these meetings. | ||
| We fill them out. They fill us out. | ||
| And, you know, if we're like-minded, then, you know, we start to talk to them a little bit more. | ||
| And it's that ability to build trust with people and build relationships in the community. | ||
| That really matters. When I need something, I know who to call. | ||
| Or if I need something, I just go to our chat group and I say, hey, a real world example, I needed help putting up a greenhouse. | ||
| And so I asked and, you know, a bunch of people showed up. | ||
| A few months ago, we went and processed 40 chickens for another guy. | ||
| We're just trying to build tribe and build strong relationships with each other because it's that kind of relationship that really is going to potentially make the difference between life or death in a Mad Max type scenario. | ||
| If nothing else, we're building goodwill towards each other. | ||
| The second thing we need to do is I recommend everyone... | ||
| Start an area preparedness network and hold meetings just once a month at Saturday, an hour or two, come out and see how many people you can attract and start to build friendships with. | ||
| But really what it's going to take is political, social, and economic power, and that's what is going to allow us to win low-intensity conflict. | ||
| I think it's so great. I mean, there's so many great things to say about this. | ||
| You know, you talk about a Mad Max scenario. | ||
| I mean, look at 2020. | ||
| I mean, look at what America's already been through. | ||
| I mean, we don't have to guess. | ||
| We don't have to project into the future and wonder what's going to... | ||
| I mean, it could be again this summer with riots. | ||
| I mean, there could be some, you know, cop killing a guy in Minnesota and suddenly, you know, your neighborhood is being stormed through by, like, armed insurrectionists who are trying to hurt you. | ||
| Like... It's not out of the realm of possibility by any means that this type of thing happens. | ||
| So, you know, being prepared for this stuff is not like you're sitting there trying to be prepared for an asteroid hitting the Earth. | ||
| I mean, this is something that's very real and that could happen and regardless, it'll be useful to have these networks established. | ||
| And I just think back to growing up in Houston and going through hurricanes and if anybody's ever been through a natural disaster like that, I mean, as soon as the disaster passed and electricity's out for a little while, everybody in the neighborhood is on their front porch. | ||
| Everybody's cooking out. | ||
| And the kids and the young men are just out there chopping trees and pulling trees off the street and helping to rebuild people's houses that have trees falling on them. | ||
| And it's like... It's almost inexplicable how, like... | ||
| I mean, it's the most wonderful thing ever, just spending all day doing manual labor with people that you just met that live down the street. | ||
| There's something so human about it and so, like, positive about it. | ||
| And it's sad that so often we have to wait for a natural disaster to hit to actually do that type of thing. | ||
| So this not only will be useful in a natural disaster, but it's also sort of... | ||
| Embodying that idea even without the hurricane to precede it, right? | ||
| It's about being connected again to your fellow humans and to your own humanity and getting out and just being out in the world as a real human, not just sitting online as a data point. | ||
| Yeah, that is what happens when people know that things are going to get better in the future. | ||
| I would love to take you through kind of the four trends that I see happening, the long-term strategic things that we really need to prepare for, because I think for most of us, things are not, for most areas, things are probably not going to get better. | ||
| They are going to get worse. | ||
| If I can run through those, Harrison, real quick. | ||
| Yeah, tell you what, we're about a minute and a half away from the break, so if you want to start now with those four, and then we can pick it up on the other side. | ||
| We have about a minute 30 left in this segment. | ||
| Okay. We have to start with Sir John Glubb, and he wrote a short essay called The Fate of Empires, and it's only 20 or 30 pages long. | ||
| I think it should be required reading. | ||
| One of the things that he found is that empires last for about 250 years. | ||
| That's 10 generations. And so we are somewhere in the ballpark of that 250-year timeline right now. | ||
| If you start in 1776, we get 2026. | ||
| If you start the 250-year timeline in 1783, We're good to go. | ||
| What are my political vulnerabilities? | ||
| What are my political limitations? | ||
| How is my local government going to react to a legitimacy crisis in the federal government? | ||
| Am I living in a place where I will want to live going through that type of soft collapse or maybe even a hard collapse? | ||
| And so that's another reason to come back and do an area study. | ||
| Let's look at the political and social and economic factors and figure out, is this the place where I want to go through this, or Am I in a place where I can organize my local community and we can have some kind of self-governance and potentially come out on the other side much safer and something better than we had going into it. | ||
| Right, right. Maybe not relying on police that don't show up when you call them like we have here in Austin. | ||
| We'll pick it up with the other three points on the other side. | ||
| Don't go anywhere. My guest is Mike Shelby, grayzoneactivity.com, on Twitter at grayzonersearch. | ||
| The book is Area Intelligence Handbook, and we're going through sort of four data points, four bullet points of what to consider. | ||
| As we look into the future and see quite a bit of uncertainty ahead of us, the first point sort of about the fate of empires and understanding where we are historically as a country and then how that impacts us locally and as we move forward and as we foresee the inevitable, | ||
| perhaps desirable downfall of the current system as it is, what our local municipality or even our local neighborhood, how it will act in a Age of greater uncertainty and greater chaos and violence. | ||
| Are we in a place that will handle that well? | ||
| Or are we in a place where we'll be left a victim or in some sense of danger because of where we are and who surrounds us? | ||
| So that was the first point, the fate of empires. | ||
| Tell us again who the author of that was. | ||
| That's Glub, G-U-L-B-B. It's called the fate of empires. | ||
| If you just search Fate of Empires PDF, you can download it. | ||
| It's a quick read, like 20 or 30 pages. | ||
| When I first read that, it was shocking to me. | ||
| But as I've researched more, there's an Estonian political scientist who has done his own research, and he found that the rise-peak-decline average lifespan of an empire is about 2.7 centuries. | ||
| That's 270 years, which is very close to Glove's 250-year average. | ||
| Now again, we're talking about averages. | ||
| Some could last longer, some could last shorter, or some have lasted shorter. | ||
| But I look at that, and if that is the case, which I think it's a key assumption, but I think that is the case, then we are living through the end of the American empire. | ||
| So the question is, what political, social, and economic effects are we going to endure over the next several years? | ||
| And then, are you in a place, the whole reason you want to do an area of studies is to determine, assess your area. | ||
| Are you in a place that there are enough positive factors that you could use to Or enough neutral factors that you could turn into positive factors? | ||
| Or is there just a complete imbalance? | ||
| And there's way more negative characteristics about your area than positive. | ||
| And a lot of people are moving, and really for very good reason. | ||
| The second kind of data point of the strategic trend is that monetary history is not on the side of the U.S. dollar right now. | ||
| There's that study from J.P. Morgan. | ||
| It did a 600-year study of currencies as the world reserve, and they found that they last for, on average, 80 to 100 years. | ||
| And so if we take Bretton Woods in 1944 as the beginning of The dollar standard is the World Reserve. | ||
| You add 80, we get 2024. | ||
| You add 100, you get 2044. | ||
| So we're likely within 20 years of the US dollar losing World Reserve status. | ||
| And I say within 20 years because it could be much sooner. | ||
| I don't think it's going to be an overnight process. | ||
| This really is a decadal process. | ||
| But that's another thing. | ||
| How is this monetary decline going to affect me and my community? | ||
| How's it going to affect unemployment? | ||
| How's it going to affect commodities? | ||
| Are we going to be able to get the things that we need to sustain the community? | ||
| If you're in an urban area, you're probably going to experience a lot more disruption. | ||
| You go back and you read Hyperinflation is not my base case scenario, at least not in the next several years, but it's a possibility. | ||
| And you go back and you read about the Weimar hyperinflation, and there's so many people who starved to death in the cities, and it actually got much worse than that because the farmers stopped selling their produce. | ||
| They stopped shipping their produce into the cities because by the time that produce was sold and the farmers got paid, it was devalued. | ||
| I mean we're talking a day-to-day devaluation here. | ||
| And so the farmers stopped sending food into the cities, and so there were riots leaving the cities, and they would go and riot and rampage through these farms. | ||
| And there's a couple of really good books that talk about the reality of Weimar hyperinflation. | ||
| So if that's something that concerns you, the next logical conclusion is, okay, what are the effects on my local area? | ||
| What is my local area going to look like? | ||
| And can I mitigate those threats and risks, or can I not mitigate those things? | ||
| And doing an area study is really going to help us to identify the positive factors that we can continue to improve and the negative factors that we are going to have to overcome in the future. | ||
| It's almost like you don't want to be in either one of those camps, right? | ||
| You don't want to be the person that's starving and you have to go riot to try to just get your hands on some food so you and your family don't die. | ||
| You also don't want to be the farmer with all the food having to defend it from rioters. | ||
| It's like, ideally, you would sort of have your own store of food and be able to sit back and watch while the unprepared people go at it. | ||
| That's just my first conclusion. | ||
| When you talk about that as an example. | ||
| Well, it's a tough reality, and a lot of Americans might hear that and dismiss it because of normalcy bias. | ||
| The average American just does not realize how bad things are in other parts of the world. | ||
| And it's just, it's inconceivable to them that something like this could ever happen to the United States. | ||
| But the more you study history, the more you realize this will happen to the United States. | ||
| It's probably happening right now to the United States. | ||
| And the question only is, how bad will it be? | ||
| And so the third thing that I'm looking at is a world war, a potential world war with China. | ||
| If we do end up going to war with China later this decade… I think we're good to go. | ||
| I would just plan on those things not being around. | ||
| The auto parts, the parts that go into tractors that keep the tractors farming in the fields, the things that go into our 18-wheelers that keep those things on the road. | ||
| I mean, they're subcomponents that are things that are made in China and they're not made in many other places around the world. | ||
| And once that stops, my immediate question is, how am I going to be affected? | ||
| How is my neighborhood going to be affected? | ||
| And Again, that's something we want to cover in the area study. | ||
| Look at how we take these big strategic threats or these strategic events and start looking at the second, third, fourth, fifth order effects and boil them down to the local effects because that's what we actually need to be preparing for. | ||
| Yeah, 100%. And, you know, we've seen it. | ||
| We saw it with COVID. Again, I mean, COVID should have been the biggest wake-up call to people where we saw, I mean, the entire supply chain become very close to an absolute breakdown. | ||
| And when I think about things, you know, coming from China suddenly getting cut off, I mean, what concerns me the most is like the pharmaceuticals of which we get 90% from China. | ||
| I mean, what is your neighborhood going to look like when nobody can get their antipsychotic I mean, are you in a place where you're surrounded by people who rely on SSRIs and what happens when they get cut off? | ||
| I mean, that's not just a vague possibility. | ||
| I mean, that's a reality that we could very well be facing shortly. | ||
| So what's your fourth concern? | ||
| So far, we have like the fate of empires, just the lifespan of empires, knowing that we're at the very tail end of it. | ||
| If not already sort of past the expiration date, you've got the monetary collapse that we see taking place that seems to be desired by and being orchestrated by the people who are in charge of the monetary system. | ||
| And you've got world war, which again seems to be imminently avoidable, but that's not the choice that our leadership is making. | ||
| We seem to be driving headlong towards world war with China over Ukraine, with Russia involved as well. | ||
| What would be the fourth threat on the horizon for you? | ||
| We're committing the same mistakes that the English experienced in their lead-up to their own English Civil War. | ||
| Really, that whole process started in the early 1600s, but the actual worst part of that was in the 1640s and 1650s. | ||
| So a couple of things happened there. | ||
| You have this fracturing of the elites into two competing camps. | ||
| The elites and anti-elites. | ||
| At the same time, you have the crown, the monarchy, going through a financial crisis. | ||
| And the monarchy runs out of money. | ||
| They have to start selling off land. | ||
| They have to start basically borrowing from the aristocracy just to stay afloat. | ||
| At the same time, you have rampant inflation. | ||
| You have, specifically, wheat prices. | ||
| You have the population of landless peasants In 1600 was 11%. | ||
| So 11% of the English were landless peasants in 1600. | ||
| By the time you get to the 1640s, it was over 40%. | ||
| So that's more than a third of the country that were landless peasants. | ||
| In 40 years, that's a massive, very rapid shift in just 40 years. | ||
| And so we look at home ownership in the United States. | ||
| You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. | ||
| The plight of the average citizen here. | ||
| There are a lot of—and then the cleavage between the elites and anti-elites. | ||
| I think we are very much leading up to the same situation. | ||
| That is such an interesting conclusion. | ||
| I hadn't thought about that. | ||
| The English Civil War is not well understood in this country. | ||
| I don't even understand it that well, but I have seen the Cromwell movie. | ||
| I understand it a little bit. | ||
| And then you throw in the religious aspect of it that, again, you see reflected in sort of a bizarro way in modernity. | ||
| We'll get back to it on the other side. | ||
|

Stay with us. Alright folks, welcome back. | |
| My guest is Mike Shelby, grayzoneactivity.com, Grayzone R Search on Twitter. | ||
| The new book is The Area Intelligence Handbook, available at grayzonestore.com. | ||
| We left off talking about the English Civil War, which... | ||
| I've sort of been... | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||
| I literally watched the Cromwell movie like last week. | ||
| And it is very strange how when you just sort of put it in different terms, in more modern terms, we are seeing very similar situation here. | ||
| So it's almost like... | ||
| I mean, what is America right now? | ||
| Are we Rome in the decline and we're about to become an empire? | ||
| Are we the English Civil War and we're about to have a big conflict and fight each other and decapitate a king? | ||
| Where are we historically, do you think? | ||
| I mean, I guess the English Civil War does have a lot of parallels, as you've pointed out. | ||
| Is that the best place to look for sort of an example of where we are and where we may be headed? | ||
| That's a really good question. | ||
| You know, I'm knowledgeable about history. | ||
| I'm probably saying I'm an amateur historian. | ||
| I don't think... | ||
| I have heard that argument that the United States, the American Empire, we're still in the Republic phase, and we haven't reached the Empire phase. | ||
| And maybe that's a possibility, but you look at the turbulence between the end of the American Republic and, excuse me, the Roman Republic that transitioned to Empire, and then the actual Empire collapsed. | ||
| That's not an easy pill to swallow. | ||
| During the break, you and I were talking about kids. | ||
| I'm a new father. I know your father. | ||
| And that's not something I want my kids to live through. | ||
| And so I have a huge sense of urgency to start building a local network, a local intelligence network, where we can pass each other information. | ||
| And most of the time, it's about yard sales. | ||
| Hey, there's some ham radio equipment over here. | ||
| Do you want me to pick it up? Yeah, go ahead and buy that. | ||
| And let's root through there and see it. | ||
| And so access to information is really a critical enabler of enabling us to build the type of community where our kids can be safe in. | ||
| When you think about a preparedness or survival situation, and I agree with you, I don't think a Mad Max, whatever, I don't think that's the most likely thing. | ||
| But something like South Africa or Latin America or Eastern European countries where there's a partial collapse. | ||
| They're not collapsed to zero. | ||
| They're still waking up and going to work. | ||
| It's just not in a safe place, and there are a lot of disruptions. | ||
| And so I look at that scenario and I say, what do I need to know about this area before I go out into it? | ||
| And that's what doing an area study is all about. | ||
| And you've mentioned a few times sort of like positives and negatives about your neighborhood. | ||
| What would be some examples of things that would be a positive and some examples of things that would go in the negative column just as you do a brief survey of your neighborhood? | ||
| What would fall in those two categories? | ||
| Yeah. So there are six layers of what we call the operating environment. | ||
| There are six layers of Information that we need to look at. | ||
| And the first area is physical terrain. | ||
| So I live on a small ranch. | ||
| The first thing I'm looking at is what is the terrain here? | ||
| Is it defensible? What kind of improvements can I make to the land? | ||
| What sensors do I need to put out in order to increase my own security? | ||
| And so the first thing is really physical terrain. | ||
| Can I interdict traffic? | ||
| Can I generate early warning? | ||
| Can I tell that someone's going to turn down my driveway or down my street? | ||
| Maybe someone who shouldn't be there before they get there. | ||
| The second layer is the human terrain. | ||
| Who are my neighbors? And this is a lot more than just... | ||
| You know, than basic demographic facts. | ||
| It's attitudes and cultures and behaviors. | ||
| We're in Texas. It's languages. | ||
| There are many people in my county who do not speak English as a first language. | ||
| Some like 20 or 30% speak Spanish at home. | ||
| And so, you know, that's another thing I'm looking at. | ||
| Just to improve my own abilities, I need to get better at Spanish. | ||
| I may be in a situation where I have to talk to someone in a scenario. | ||
| And so, you know, we can start collecting basic facts about the area, and then we can really start determining, hey, I'm deficient in this skill area, or this is a likely scenario to develop these abilities. | ||
| After that is critical infrastructure. | ||
| Where do you get your food and water? | ||
| There's a lot more to it than that. | ||
| But next is politics and governance. | ||
| And this is a big one. | ||
| One reason why I used to live in downtown Austin. | ||
| One reason why I moved from downtown Austin is I said, God forbid, I have to get in a scenario where I have to use force, and there's no way I'm making it out of there. | ||
| And we just saw that with Daniel Perry. | ||
| And that's not the cleanest case, but that's just not a situation that I wanted to be put into. | ||
| It's a reason why we don't live in any city in Texas. | ||
| And so looking at your political leaders is very important. | ||
| One of our major efforts here is getting a good sheriff in office, getting a sheriff who's not going to violate the Constitution. | ||
| I think that's probably the number one thing that a local community can do, that you can do at a county level to improve your area. | ||
| For me, if the political environment is stacked against me, if I'm a political outlier in my area, and I know that law enforcement is not going to give me a fair shake or they could be swayed by political influence, that's just not somewhere I'm going to live. | ||
| So my question is, well, can we change that? | ||
| If so, then let's get to work on changing it. | ||
| If we can't change that, then I just don't see a future for me here. | ||
| And so that's another reason why we left Austin. | ||
| Next is the local security situation, so law enforcement and security. | ||
| And then economics and finance. | ||
| What are the big economic drivers of your area? | ||
| I went through West Virginia several years ago, and I looked around at just the economic and financial devastation once Obama went through and banned all the coal mines and tried to shut them down, and logging and the other industries there. | ||
| Do I live in an area like that? | ||
| Is my area going to come under some EPA regulation and they're going to shut down the local employers in my area? | ||
| Those are the six layers that I'm looking at. | ||
| There's a lot of moving, there's a lot of data points in there that I go over in the book. | ||
| As a matter of fact, I give you a list of data points for each layer that you should look at. | ||
| We can go through those six layers and start to build an assessment. | ||
| What things do I need to do to improve my situation? | ||
| What do I need to do to prepare for specific scenarios that I'm likely to face? | ||
| Because once you do an area study, you're going to be able to really refine your expectations of the future. | ||
| And if we do it right, we're going to have accurate expectations of the future. | ||
| We can get very deliberate with not I'm preparing for an EMP, but I'm preparing for There's Section 8 housing with lots of crime in the area, and they're a half a mile away from me, and I could be looking at out-of-baric criminality. | ||
| That's something specific we can prepare for and expect. | ||
| And so really, an area study takes the guesswork out of preparedness. | ||
| If you do an area study, it's going to tell you exactly what you should be preparing for, and we don't have to try to pull stuff out of thin air or get into these very unrealistic, outlandish scenarios and try to prepare for those things. | ||
| No, I think it's brilliant. I mean, once you've done that, then you have a basis to where as things change and as the situation evolves, you're not starting from zero. | ||
| You already have a basis of understanding, and you can make the changes as required. | ||
| And of course, I agree with you, and I know we've said it during the break. | ||
| I'm not sure how often we said it on there, but I definitely think South Africa is sort of the roadmap that we're following right now, whether we want to or not. | ||
| That's kind of another aspect of it, right? | ||
| It's like, this isn't about like, well, but I don't want to live in a... | ||
| County that has a lot of crime. | ||
| It's like, well, you do. So it's time to deal with that, right? | ||
| This is just about facing the world as it is, sort of taking your own expectations out of it, and just looking at it as an intelligence agent, as somebody who's just dealing with the facts on the ground, and get Get out of there if you don't want to live in a place with high crime because you live in a place with high crime. | ||
| It's just about dealing with reality as it stands, which is what attracts me to it so much. | ||
| I've been taking notes this whole time. | ||
| I should just get your book, obviously, because all this stuff is in there. | ||
| The book, again, is called The Area Intelligence Handbook. | ||
| You can find it at grayzonestore.com. | ||
| Grayzoneactivity.com is where you can find Mike Shelby's website, and he's on Twitter at grayzonersearch. | ||
| There it's research, but without the first information. | ||
| Thank you so much for coming on. | ||
| As always, extremely informative and inspiring as well. | ||
| Thank you for joining us. | ||
| We'll have to have you on again soon. | ||
| Thanks, Harrison. Yeah, I got a couple copies once I get back in stock next week coming to you. | ||
| Well, I look forward to it. | ||
| I look very forward to it. And again, it's just something that we can do, get involved in, and actually handle ourselves without having to trust some politician or some voting process that may not be as legitimate as we think. | ||
| Thank you, Mike Shelby, for coming on. | ||
| Thank you, Harrison. All right, folks, that's about going to do it for us. | ||
| I do want to remind you to go to InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| When you talk about preparedness, InfoWarsStore.com has you covered whether it's the storable food or whether it's just dealing with the realities of life as we know it now, the poisons in the food and water. | ||
| Again, I'm always in the... | ||
| Recently, every single day, there's a story about PFAs. | ||
| Every single day, there's a story about poison in the water, contamination, hormone-altering chemicals, stuff we've been covering for 20 years that everybody told us we were crazy for covering and you're a conspiracy theorist and just shut up. | ||
| This is like where we hold hands with hippies that think we're fascists, but it's like, okay, but we both agree that maybe water shouldn't be poison. | ||
| Hey, maybe the food that we eat shouldn't be caked in pesticides. | ||
| We can agree on this, right? | ||
| This is something all human beings agree on. | ||
| And every day you see headlines now talking about PFAs. | ||
| It's like, well, we could have solved this problem 10 years ago, but you were calling us crazy back then. | ||
| I'm glad you're dealing with it now. | ||
| But you can't trust the establishment to deal with these problems. | ||
| They let the problems get out of hand. | ||
| They let them get overwhelming. | ||
| And then they do some token resistance and then just use that to, you know, whatever, gather more power anyway and not solve the problem. | ||
| So you can't rely on those people. | ||
| You can only rely on yourself and you can rely on Infowarsstore.com to get you the preparedness that you need as well as the supplements that you need to counteract the poisons in our food and water. | ||
| Stay tuned, folks. The Alex Jones Show in 90 seconds. | ||
