Jim Morrison: Lizard King Revealed 00:06:14
Hey everybody, Jason Burmes here and we are about to get deep in the weeds with WQUD 1077.
We talk about Maduro, Venezuela, Trump, transhumanism, and so much more.
I do want to point out I cannot do it without you guys.
$5, $10, $15.
It means the world to be big donors.
Thank you.
We also got the PayPal down below.
Buckle up and get ready to make sense of the madness.
Yes, we are going deep in the weeds of Jason Burmese, brought to you by River Cities Reader.
Make sure you check out Jason of course documentary filmmaker, most famous for loose change, but also it's a great show on YouTube making sense of the madness.
And welcoming in.
How are you doing, Jason?
I am doing well.
I hope the holidays were happy and fruitful for you, Aaron.
Well, I'm going to tell you, I was sick as a dog pretty much for the last two weeks.
I called in to work last Friday, which is the first time I've ever called in here.
My wife said it's the second time I've called in since I've known her, which is 15 years.
Jesus.
So it was, you know, whatever.
I got through it.
I hope, hopefully, now I'm good.
I haven't been that sick in probably a couple years.
So hopefully I'm good for a couple more years now and doing better not all the way back, but close.
But, you know, you just got to fight through.
You know how it goes.
What have you been up to now?
You got, of course, your show, you do a lot of interviews, do stuff like that.
You had anybody cool on lately?
Yeah, I had the Lizard King himself on.
And I joke.
Jim Morrison?
Not Jim Morrison.
I am not of the belief that Mr. Morrison faked his death.
But that one is out there, Aaron.
Oh, it's out.
It's out there.
No, I am referring to the one, the only David Ike, who has been around in this quote-unquote alternative media arena for well over three decades.
He was actually a very famous footballer, aka soccer player back in the day, and then TV presenter.
And then he kind of flipped the switch, and he's really one of the first people to expose modern day globalism, some of the very kooky cult stuff that almost seems beyond believable, but is indeed true.
A lot of the high-level pedophilia stuff.
And he is the purveyor, although I do not agree with him on it, of the ever-present shape-shifting lizard people theory.
So I'm not overly familiar with that.
I mean, I watched V as a kid, and I would assume this guy maybe watched it a little too much or something.
But what is the lizard people theory?
Well, it's out there, and it has permeated pop culture to the point now, Aaron, where even if somebody doesn't actually believe in this theory, which we'll get into in a moment, you often hear people talk about people as he's a freaking lizard or our dark lizard overlords.
In fact, even Tucker Carlson in that last stint with Fox News did that phrase and had a graphic of essentially somebody in a suit as a lizard person.
So the story goes like this.
And once again, I am not endorsing it whatsoever.
That some of these royal bloodlines are actually descendants of or straight up the quote-unquote Anunnaki, who, according to Zacharias Sitchin from these ancient tablets that he transcribed.
And the tablets, by the way, do exist.
And I'll just say this.
Sitchin's interpretation is highly, highly suspect, in my opinion, and challenged on innumerable levels.
But in his interpretation, he essentially says that these gods, these archons, these lizards, giants, a combination of all, came to this planet, actually genetically engineered humanity as a slave race to mine gold for their planet.
Now, David's far from the only person that has highlighted Sitchin's work, but he certainly brought that into the modern day and has speculated that, you know, like the Saks, Cobur, Gothas, aka the Windsor family, they are descendants of this reptilian bloodline.
And this bloodline, although it can take human form, it can also shape-shift into this lizard form as well.
And it permeated pop culture so much that Netflix actually had a cartoon series.
They only did two seasons of it.
Man, I wish they had done more because I actually was really enjoying it, even though it goofs on the vast majority of this stuff.
It was called Inside Job.
And at one point, I mean, it's got every conspiracy rolled into as ridiculous as it gets.
But at one point in the show, they go to the quote-unquote Bohemian Grove.
And amongst many of the elites there are the actual shapeshifting lizard folk.
So just want to say it again, emphasize it, because I know we talk about everything under the sun, including geopolitics that really do matter.
And by the way, David and I had an almost two-hour conversation.
He's an expert on transhumanism and globalism, as I said.
And one of the things we actually talked about that matter are the U.S. politics right now with the overthrow of Maduro, Venezuela, Greenland, and those type of things.
And look, it's not going to be for everybody, but if you end up watching this on my channel after the fact, I'm holding the book right now.
This is his latest book.
The man's probably got two dozen books this size.
This is the roadmap escaping the maze of madness.
Drug Trade Manipulation 00:15:36
And that's his latest work.
Okay.
And he's Stanford, Harvard.
I mean, this guy's not like a, you know, weirdy McWeirderson or anything.
I mean, he's a very educated person.
It's just, like I said, I think maybe he watched V too much.
I don't know.
Anyway, you were talking about some of the stuff that's been going on.
It seems like I haven't talked to you forever.
It's been a few weeks.
The Maduro thing, kind of big, I would say.
I would say as big as it gets.
And I want to really dispel some myths here.
Okay, Aaron?
Because I've seen a lot of people that generally have espoused this idea of Trump being the peace president and that they didn't want any new wars, essentially being a cheerleader for this military action and acting as though this is a positive thing.
Well, let me say this out of the gates.
Anytime we can forego U.S. troops on the ground in any military operation and also have no loss of life on our side, that's better than getting into a forever war.
I am by no means endorsing any of it.
But I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that out of the gates.
But the propaganda surrounding this, first and foremost, was about drugs.
And the drug in particular was fentanyl.
Although cocaine was on the peripheral of this, and we were talking about the cartels kind of in the tail end of this propaganda campaign against Venezuela.
And folks, I'm sorry, you might not want me to hear that word, but that is the reality of the situation.
And I'll explain why in a moment.
They basically said they were going to go in there and stop this cartel action and fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl.
Hey, Aaron, did you read the indictment from earlier this week?
I didn't.
Well, let me explain something to you.
Nowhere in that indictment was Maduro indicted on fentanyl.
Zero.
It's not in the thing.
So they went after him with cocaine and they actually amended that indictment because the original one seemed to be too strong in the fact that they were trying to tie him with a notorious cartel that was actually started by guess who?
The United States Central Intelligence Agency and Intel Networks during Iran-Contra.
That's why that still matters.
That's why I talk about it all the time.
And that's why I keep hammering that Epstein was a part of that network as well.
So anyway, this cartel that we created decades and decades ago is who they're tying this to Maduro on.
Now, cocaine and narcotics conspiracy trafficking.
I want to let people know that I'm not necessarily soft on drugs.
Okay.
I grew up around it a lot as a kid.
You know, my dad was a low-level Coke dealer, went to federal prison.
I've seen friends, family members over the years end up having to do time, mostly for low-level cocaine dealing.
We're not talking kilos here, folks.
We're not talking cartel action.
So I understand how this trade can really affect lives at home.
Thank God I haven't been touched by this fentanyl crisis like so many others have.
So they've got him.
They've got his wife.
Let me also say it's not unprecedented that they go after the wife too.
Again, in the 80s, a lot of people forget about Amel DeMarcos, but they, you know, not only got her husband who was in charge, but they put her in prison as well.
So they've got these people.
I will guarantee everybody, everybody, the way they talked about fentanyl, boy, we just solved the crisis, or at least we cut it in half, right?
We're not even going to be seeing a 10% reduction by this, if at all.
Okay, now I'm not saying other policies by this administration, which is better than the last one, won't improve incrementally.
But the real kicker is if you think this puts a dent on any cocaine traffic or the desire for cocaine, the demand for cocaine in this country or the use of cocaine by high-level lawyers, politicians, people in the entertainment industry, you're absolutely insane.
This is going to do a zero.
Let me repeat this: zero to stop cocaine trafficking in the United States.
And let me give another example beyond our own government dealing these drugs and never having accountability.
Again, you clean up your house first.
And we haven't done that.
When we went into Afghanistan, everybody, the Taliban, no matter how much you didn't like them or don't like them, because guess what?
They're still around.
And now we're putting their allies from al-Nusra in charge in Syria.
They had crippled the opium trade in that region to something crazy to under 10%.
And listen, it was harsh there.
You got caught doing the poppy thing around the Taliban.
You'd be lucky if they just cut off your hands.
Okay.
So they'd really clamp down.
When we went in there in the war on terror, everybody, in short order, from I think mid-2004 on, production went so high that it became 80 to 90% of the world's opioid supply.
And not only on the illegal market, but everybody wants to talk about the Sackler family.
Where do you think they were getting it from?
And the U.S. military was guarding those opium fields.
Anybody right now, if they want to grab their little magic box and type in Fox News, Geraldo Rivera, Poppy Fields.
You will watch Herald, though, and he's kind of confused.
He acts at least confused, like he doesn't understand.
Fierce mustache on him, yes, for sure.
But he acts kind of like he's surprised and doesn't understand what's going on.
But no, U.S. troops right there guarding it.
Now, on the illegal end, and this will dovetail into the second reason they said, and this is also very open.
I'll at least give Trump credit on this one.
This is much more transparent.
This is a real reason they went in there, but just one of many.
Again, they've been wanting Venezuela for a very, very long time.
Transcends.
I mean, even during the Carter administration, you know, when we were just being born, Aaron, there were talks of this.
It's the largest oil reserve in the world, right?
300 billion barrels.
And a ton of other natural resources and precious metals and minerals as well.
So, yes, it is extremely resource-rich.
So you have this drug aspect.
And when we're in Afghanistan, the main drug lord or warlord, if you will, during that time period is a guy named Walid Karzai.
Okay.
Now, eventually, Karzai is taken out by one of his own men in what is an apparent CIA operation because the guy who executed him was like executed immediately.
And by the way, this Maduro operation, top-level CIA, a ton of people on the inside.
Their Air Force didn't even attack us.
All right.
That should let everybody know how many people on the inside they had.
And they had that compound fully built and they were drilling it with the team that went in there for weeks.
They knew every single room.
So the Central Intelligence Agency, at least on this one, definitely did their job from the inside.
Now, Walid Karzai's brother got put in charge of the country in Afghanistan.
His name was Hamid Karzai.
And Hamid Karzai was also a Chevron oil executive.
Pretty fancy how they got it from both ends right there, backed by the United States, everybody.
By the way, the people of Afghanistan, not so happy, big opposition to Karzai.
There were several attempts on Karzai's life that were unsuccessful.
So that brings us into the idea that I think the U.S. is going to also further take hold of whatever drug trade is in here.
Again, you're not going to see anything going low, but with the Hamid Karzai action, look at the oil.
I mean, Trump was, I mean, he didn't hide any of it.
We did a watch-along with that press conference the day after, and he espoused that we had actually built the oil refineries and infrastructure in Venezuela.
And when he says we, it's a little bit misleading because I'm watching it, and I want to be my own fact checker.
You know, I don't have TDS, but I want to know what he's talking about.
And essentially, many U.S. oil companies did help build the infrastructure with Venezuela and then essentially got cut out during nationalization, right?
Right.
So except for Chevron.
Well, no, no, no, that's Chevron's a different deal.
That was just Afghanistan.
That's to use an example that once we took over that country, we installed an oil executive there.
Okay.
Now, before I even talk about what we've openly said we're going to do politically in Venezuela with their leadership, what they said with their infrastructure is that the oil companies are coming in and they're paying for it and we are going to reimburse them.
So right there, you're going to have probably about three or four companies, big ones, come in and now they're taking over those oil fields and they're going to start drilling even further.
Now, some of you may argue, yay, cheaper oil.
No, not going to be cheaper for you.
You're out of your mind.
Did you just see the military budget he's trying to pass?
$1.5 trillion.
That's another $5,000 in tax liability a year for your average family.
Okay?
$1.5 trillion.
All right.
So let me explain what's actually going on.
When they say, and Trump's, if anybody wants to doubt me, please just go watch the press conference for yourself, or you can watch me do a watch along with it because they're going to come in, they're going to pay for it, but we're going to pay them back on the back end.
Now, he already talked about the possibility of troops on the ground.
If that happens, and quite frankly, I don't think it's going to happen in a manner that's going to be visible like Iraq.
We're not going to be like deploying National Guard or a bunch of units.
You're going to have sparse units of military personnel basically in charge of or directing and working with the PMG groups, the privatized military groups, Merck groups that have been set up over the last 20 to 25 years.
And they will be hired directly by these oil companies.
Okay.
So now you're going to have an infrastructure of oil, and that's just the oil companies.
That's what he was talking about.
Remember, I think we're going to see rare earth minerals.
I think we're going to see all those other type of stuff as well.
Now, in Ecuador, we are very friendly with the leadership there.
They are Bitcoin heavy, and we are moving further and further into digital IDs, digital money.
I think they are going to use this as an opportunity to possibly beta test some of those technologies in Venezuela as well.
They're about to rape that country for resources.
I promise you that, no matter what.
You can expect AI data centers to be going in there as well.
I think they're going to try to make this into this technical model of futurism that we often talk about here.
And one of the things that people, again, don't understand about Venezuela, it was under one of a dozen or so nations that did not have a central banking system.
Okay.
So it wasn't part of the system that we've been a part of.
It's the most resource-rich nation in the world.
Now, that doesn't mean I'm a fan of Maduro.
That doesn't mean I think he was legitimately elected.
You know, he's been called the dictator over and over again.
But this then brings me to my next point about Venezuela.
Trump was very, he didn't say, hey, we're going to let the people vote somebody in.
We're going to have an election.
He said, no, we run it now, and we are going to choose leadership that is friendly to the United States so that this doesn't happen again.
There is no facade of anything other than an authoritarian dictatorship when a foreign nation comes in and does that.
I'm sorry.
And fascism to boot, because you're having not only privatized military groups come in and essentially be on the street, but it's going to be the oil companies that are the infrastructure for that.
So on every level, Aaron, other than the one where we save U.S. troops' lives, I am against this.
I think that if you want to remain morally consistent, you have to be against this.
This is a might is right move.
And once again, even in that press conference, Trump talked about the devastation of that first wave and that a second wave wasn't necessary.
And he said, if you can believe the second wave was going to be even deadlier than the first.
And then he pulls back for a second.
And in true, you know, Trump gangsterism style, he goes, but if things aren't working out down there, we'll do a second wave.
We don't want to.
We don't want to.
But if everybody else behave, we'll do this second wave.
Thank goodness that has not happened.
But there is a long, long journey ahead.
And just to really emphasize this for everybody out there, okay?
If you believe, and I don't know why you would believe this, that this is going to stop the fentanyl crisis, have a dent on cocaine trafficking, or give you lower gas.
And not only just lower gas, lower energy bills here.
If you have oil and gas for your home, don't bet on it.
And those are the only things that could possibly benefit the American people.
So my stomach is upside down on this one, brother.
Well, I mean, this is nothing new.
I mean, this has been the U.S. playbook on stuff like this for a long time, similar to what we saw when Noriega took over Panama because he would mess with our trade stuff.
And so we had to go in there and, you know, do whatever it is we do, basically install a puppet leader.
I think short term, you know, the big word in the media right now in terms of people voting is affordability.
So if gas is already pretty cheap compared to what it was, say, a couple years ago, and now if they can push it down further, where I mean, hey, gas is actually under three bucks in Illinois, which is impressive, but it's almost two bucks.
Big Three Nations Watch 00:15:54
And in some parts of Iowa, it's less than $2 if you get out in central western Iowa.
But if you push gas prices down to $1.50, you know, pretty much everywhere, or maybe even cheaper some places, closer to a dollar, which is insane if you think about inflation and what everything costs right now.
But gas fuels inflation.
That could bring costs down.
So I think short term, they're looking at, okay, we're going to help the affordability situation and hopefully win the midterms in November.
And then also you get another playing card to deal with Russia because if you flood the oil market, they start losing a lot of money, a lot of money in a very short amount of time.
So, I mean, I think, you know, probably the biggest, I don't know, this wasn't surprising, I guess.
I mean, I know a lot of people are surprised they went in and took him out or got him out.
But I mean, this is not a, this is not a new move from the U.S. playbook.
I mean, this is like, this is student body right, man.
This is the one they run all the time.
And I think Cuba is probably in the biggest trouble right now because they rely on cheap Venezuelan oil and they're worried about now their economy collapsing.
I mean, actually, even their power grid is run off like cheap diesel.
So, you know, it's, yeah.
I'm, again, not very surprised by what we did.
I think, I think it's, you know, very much about oil and resources and way less about drugs.
I don't really think that's well, you know what the other narrative is that's that's floating around, and this is another one, uh, that the smartmatic machines were somehow manipulated via Venezuela and actually, you know, not only in the election there, but they were involved in the corruption of the 2020 election.
And this is what I would say to that, because I think you're spot on, by the way, Aaron.
And I'm so glad that you brought up Noriega because the truth of the matter is that in any situation, the United States military-industrial complex has been able to go in to really any country they want that was not backed by another first world nation.
And when I say that, I mean like, all right, it took a while in Syria with Assad and Assad was able to get out via Russia.
That wasn't the case in Libya.
Certainly wasn't the case with Noriega.
It wasn't the case with Saddam.
I think they sat on their hands purposely with bin Laden, probably could have had him at any moment.
But then you don't have the fear, the war on terror, and things like that opium production we were just talking about.
But if we're really going to talk about voting machines and illegitimate leaders, first of all, I'm going to contend, I know wild theory here, that the 2020 election was stolen and we had illegitimate leaders in this country.
Does that mean I want Vladimir Put Put in the gang to come in the middle of the night and kidnap Joe and Jill Biden along with Kamala and Barrison friends?
No, no, it does not.
Does that mean they have the moral right to do so?
No, no, it does not.
And unfortunately, another horrible precedent that this will set is that, again, that might is right persona.
You know, what's to stop China from saying, well, they rigged an election in Taiwan.
We're just going to go in.
We're going to install.
The same with Russia, with these Eastern European nations.
Obviously, Ukraine in particular, they could have done that at any time.
And of course, that didn't happen.
Instead, we're still in this forever war that we were promised Trump was going to get us out of last year.
We're a year in, bro.
We are a year in.
And I got to tell you, although they started off pretty, you know, pretty impressive, they have spiraled with this administration.
It's being reported in the mainstream press that the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, somebody who I think is a very, very good person, was actually left out, left out of all the meetings on this Maduro situation because they knew she was going to be opposition.
You know, Trump hammering Thomas Massey on a daily basis when he's the one pointing out things like the $1.5 trillion military budget and what this means for the American people and quite frankly, the world.
It's not a positive thing.
So, you know, a lot of people are talking about Kennedy and the food pyramid.
Woo, we get it.
We figured it out.
Beef and butter are delicious and good for you.
Fantastic.
Yeah, they flipped it upside down.
Hey, look, let's just flip it upside down.
It'll blow everybody's mind.
I have a theory that the big three is what I call them, us, Russia, China, right?
We're the big three.
I mean, there's some other, you know, there's maybe like a big 10, if you will, with some other countries that are there, the European Union, you know, you got India certainly being the conversation, whatever.
But you got the big three, right?
Well, Russia's been actively going after Ukraine.
Trump is trying to get a peace deal that's friendly to Russia so they get to keep part of Ukraine and formally recognize Crimea as theirs.
Okay.
We've been kind of holding China off from Taiwan for a while because we've been waiting for chip production to ramp up domestically and it's almost there, right?
We've been building these chip factories for a while here in the U.S.
So we all of a sudden don't really need Taiwan anymore.
And obviously Venezuelan oil was a big China purchase.
So I think the three of them kind of had a little side deal going.
Like, hey, I'll try to help you get part of Ukraine.
You guys just hold off on Taiwan a little longer and you can have it.
I'm going to go get Venezuela.
Because otherwise, I feel like both Russia and China would have a lot more to say about this.
But it's like they're like, eh, you know, like they know something we don't know.
Well, I would say this: you know, obviously, there's rhetoric out there, and they, you know, they're just not the big three are allied on a space level, right?
And, you know, that's why they're on the ISS together.
They have the space weapons.
You're right to bring up India as they come up.
But again, most people don't even fathom that China has five to six times the population that we do in the United States there.
That's massive.
And Russia only has about half the population.
And they're some of the most fierce groundfighting warriors to this day.
You mentioned the chip thing.
I really believe that this is the move.
You know, you talked about chip production.
Doesn't matter, Aaron.
It's not for us.
Everything is being built for artificial intelligence.
I think we discussed just briefly the price of Ram shooting up, right?
Yeah, we've talked about that.
Yeah.
And now the price of hard drives are starting to shoot up.
The price of graphics cards are starting to shoot up.
The fresh water that has been utilized for AI data centers in this year alone, this past year, just made it to the equivalent of the bottled water market.
What is it going to do next year?
That's another reason Venezuela is extremely important because of these minerals.
Silver has shot through the roof.
And I am not only predicting triple-digit silver in the next three to six months, but you could literally see silver maybe get into not just 100, but the hundreds of dollars in the next couple of years.
Because once again, metals like silver, copper, gold, that's outside of lithium and all these other types of minerals that are often found in these nations after the fact.
Remember, they found massive lithium mines also in Iraq, not just oil.
Oh, wow, we just didn't know.
Score.
Score.
Yeah.
Silver's at $79.09 an ounce right now.
Yes, current value.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and then so then you got Venezuela.
We've got the largest oil reserve in the world.
All the other minerals.
I think Trump said his goal, they want to get oil down to 50 a barrel.
Well, it's not at like 57 right now.
We're not that much high.
It's up to 59.
It's up a buck 29 today.
But, you know, like I said, you push gas down the short term.
You got midterms coming, all that stuff, trying to make things more affordable for people, you know, for a political fix, basically.
But what about Greenland?
What the hell's going on there?
Now, I know the Arctic ice is melting.
All right.
I read a story how China's been investing in icebreakers.
They're starting to move through.
I think because they want to try and grab whatever minerals and what, you know, they want to be ready up there if something happens.
You know, this is the same country that said they were going to claim the moon as Chinese territory.
So it is what it is.
But why?
I mean, I get Greenland's probably got lots of minerals too, strategy for a military base, but I'm pretty sure Denmark said, hey, you can, and I think we already have one there.
Like, hey, you can build a bigger base, whatever.
And I'll Google that in a second here.
But why Greenland?
You know what I mean?
Why is this keep coming up?
We're going to buy it.
We're going to take it.
I've even seen, you know, crazy things like they're trying to marry Baron Trump up with the princess from Denmark.
Whack-a-mole theories out there of what's going on.
What do you, what do you know?
First of all, extremely militarily strategic.
You just mentioned those bases, right?
Well, I mean, you could type in abandoned U.S. bases from Greenland via that World War II era.
And, you know, a lot of people talk about dumbs, deep underground military bases.
We've been doing it for decades, folks.
You can actually see inside the massive ones, or at least one of the massive ones that they built in Greenland back in the day.
Number two, extremely resource-rich.
You know, you just talked about melting ice.
I think, you know, that's kind of a mythos.
It's cyclical, just like anywhere else.
So there are going to be times there where it's going to be ultra cold, other times where portions of it are going to melt off, just like the Arctic regions.
And look, there are parts in the Arctic, in these freezing tundras, these pockets where they just have this lush vegetation and seemingly a whole different type of ecosystem and fresh water as well that is not part of the ocean.
So, you know, that's something that's largely not discussed.
It's also another resource-rich nation, probably a lot more resource-rich than we know about.
And then the strategic water and airways, both economically and militarily, right?
I see why Trump wants it.
And I see why Trump wanted Venezuela.
And that's the thing with him is he's always been a very transactional guy.
And when he's approached in a manner in closed doors where they placate to him and he's like, and they tell him what a great businessman he is and how this is going to be great business for the United States.
And we've got to remain strong.
And they give him the historical context of when we used it.
Yeah, he whips out that big Donnie T of his and he says we're taking it.
And, you know, I don't, I, I don't think we're taking Greenland by force.
That would be on another level because you would have the leadership, not just the people, if you will, of European and first world nations very upset with the United States and have to speak out.
Yeah, have to speak out against it outwardly, other than having like the talking points of Maturo's a dictator.
You know, you're not going to be able to say that about Greenland.
You already used that one, guys.
You already used that one.
By the way, we are deep in the weezo, Jason Burmese, brought to you by River Cities Reader.
Yeah, I don't think you can use that excuse this time.
You know, that'd be probably a tough sell.
I don't know who you would be able to sell that to.
So I think we're going to work out some economic deal.
I think that's what's in the future.
You know, I saw Denmark trying to puff up and say, we will attack.
I mean, I'm just like.
No, you won't.
Here's the deal.
There's like three or four, three or four possibly leaders of nation states that could confidently say that they could actually attack and there would be real military conflict and possibly casualties in the United States.
Other than that, I mean, what are you doing?
Have some humility.
Come out and say not only what a bully move this is, but how ridiculous it is.
Now, the one thing that would be positive about it, and again, I'm not endorsing it, is that would totally and completely break up NATO, right?
Just like I said, the leadership wouldn't be able to sit there and go, he's a dictator.
Yeah, like you would have to have military units from those European nations.
They would totally disband without the United States.
There is no real NATO.
Right.
So, yeah.
So, I mean, listen, I had a post yesterday, and I was like, you know what?
Destroy NATO?
You bet.
Let's go.
All day, every day.
However, take Greenland by force.
That's going to be a hard no for me.
Yeah, I don't know.
When Rubio came out, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and said, you know, it's just rhetoric.
We're looking to make a deal with him.
He said that earlier this week.
So, you know, Trump likes to trump things up, if you will, and, you know, shout from the rooftops.
You know, Teddy Roosevelt said, speak softly, carry a big stick.
Trump's like, I got a big stick and I'm going to scream it.
And different, you know, different playbook for sure.
But well, they're also trying to frame this and the last move, especially with Venezuela, as the Monroe Doctrine, right?
Or the Dunroad Doctrine.
Yeah, well, they think they're hilarious because they're the meme presidency.
I got news for them.
That only flies so far.
They have done very, very well in the manipulation of the alternative media, of the podcast universe, of those type of things.
Okay.
But at the same time, man, it's like that's only going to go so far, right?
Like South Park did a really good job this season, at least in one aspect of taking on the administration.
Trust The Plan? 00:03:09
I think a lot of it was TDS-like.
But again, they were highlighting things like Peter Thiel, you know, the nonsense about the Antichrist and that tour.
But what they really hit on was this is the social media presidency.
Okay.
And, you know, like, like the, it's not just about being an influencer.
It's not just about putting out a meme.
I forget which department it was yesterday, but I think one of the White House departments, I'd have to go through my feed, were putting out cue memes, trust the plan.
And I forget what the other one was, you know, but it's like a silhouette of Donald Trump.
Trust the plan.
I don't trust anybody.
Like they're trying to lean back in to people and their fantasies about, you know, I mean, that they're superheroes coming to save us.
Guys, we still can't get the Epstein files.
In fact, that's another story that we should hit on right now is that Thomas Massey and Ro Conna are now set to try to bring in some independent justice because the Department of Justice cannot be, it's the Department of Injustice, cannot be trusted.
You know, you got Bongino out there after he left the FBI.
He's frothing at the mouth to get back on his podcast to tell everybody what a loser they are for questioning him.
It's like, are you out of your mind, bro?
You're still not, they're still not releasing these files.
They want an 2 million, right?
There's still like 2 million, they said.
It's more than that.
So, all right.
Is there a building that they get, like a gymnasium of boxes somewhere that they've got all these stores?
This is crazy.
Well, when you've got hundreds, if not thousands of victims, and you've got a guy that's been doing shady business deals via Bear Stearns, BCCI, and a bunch of arms dealers that were very close to him, like Douglas Leese, Stanley Pottinger, and Andrew of Windsor.
Okay.
How many files do you think they're going to have on the guy?
Right now, what they're admitting to is, I believe it was 1.2 million files and 5.7 million pages of documents.
Yeah.
Wow.
I can't imagine being the person that's got to go through that.
I mean, it's got to be people, right?
Let's.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Like a team of people.
Like, you know.
Yeah, that's crazy.
It's, and just, you know, what a, I can't think of a more, you know, documented, polarized, whatever figure, aside from Epstein, where we've had something like this in history, at least the recent history where I've been alive, you know, with all this stuff.
James Bond Meets Jeffrey Epstein 00:03:07
It gets crazy.
I don't even have anything to compare it to.
I mean, well, I mean, if you want to compare it to something, unfortunately, the parallels between what they tried to sell us on, and when I say us, the general public, on what like a spy person is, like a James Bond.
No, it's more like a Jeffrey Epstein.
Like, oh, look, it's the cool, savvy guy that can have sex with any woman he wants, and he's getting the bad guys internationally.
It's the complete opposite of that.
I mean, the women thing, and unfortunately, the young girls thing is very true, but they're bought, they're paid for, they become part of the network itself.
They're used to curry favor and manipulate others on the world stage.
Then you've got to have these arms deals that involve drug deals, right?
And multiple intelligence networks.
So it's not just, well, again, they give you a little peace with Ian Fleming.
You know, British and U.S. intelligence are always working together.
And in reality, that is also true.
But, you know, it was Israeli and U.S. intelligence that were working together via Iran-Contra.
But at the same time, British intelligence is involved in that because you have the banking systems of it all.
And so much of that runs through the United Kingdom and beyond.
You know, somebody who doesn't get mentioned enough via Epstein, especially when we're talking about later years in this network after his conviction in Palm Beach, is Jess Staley.
You know, Jess Staley of JP Morgan is in Epstein's hot tub after the fact.
They're joking in emails with the top brass that Epstein not only likes them young, but likes them in like Disney outfits.
Okay.
And by the way, in these document dumps, you got to see some of those outfits and like the orders from Amazon, his Amazon cart.
So not a ton is left to the imagination.
Even some of the pictures that are blacked out, you can kind of see around them and you can see that the people are wearing those outfits.
They all knew.
They all knew this and they were all partaking in it well after the fact.
And the other thing that they were doing is they were and look, when you're talking about arms and drugs, there's another thing they like to do.
They like to launder money through the art world.
And guess what?
Epstein was also connected to the art and modeling world.
All of them are.
Art as Money Laundering 00:04:26
You wonder why, you know, a banana taped to a wall goes for $36 million or whatever.
$36 million.
Yeah, whatever.
A lot of that, a lot of that, you get tax exempt on.
It's used as a money laundering tool for some other type of backdoor deal, whether again, it's arms, drugs, women, you name it.
The art world is rife with that type of behavior.
And anybody can look it up.
The Central Intelligence Agency themselves directed popular culture away from what I would call more traditional Renaissance style artwork.
In other words, artwork that, you know, maybe has a realism significance to just pop tart culture crap.
You know, they backed the idea.
Oh, Jackson Pollock, brilliant.
Brilliant.
I mean, they put real money in this.
So yeah, Warhol's another one.
You know what?
It's a can of soup, everybody.
Warhol, at least, was an interesting guy, but very much pushing that type of thing.
This very uniform, unpretty type of art that you like the common person would question whether or not it had any artistic significance or relevance at all.
And these are the type of things like, like, I can't even tell you what the original Campbell soup can painting goes for, or even Warhol's pop art Marilyn Monroe thing.
Now, that's not to say that I don't think there's some influence there and some good influence at that.
You look at somebody like Banksy, if you don't see some of the resemblance in the artwork that he's been able to do with those kind of silhouettes and those type of spray graphics that has a pop bent or a Warhol bent.
I mean, it's there.
You know what I mean?
But at the same time, when you have an intel network that is directing popular culture via art, and it wasn't, again, not just paintings, but then utilizing that as a tool, not just for influence, et cetera, but also to launder money, that should raise eyebrows.
And when we talk about other arenas, you know, Billy Corgan, who I really love.
Smashing Pumpkins.
Smashing Pumpkins.
Chicago guy.
Yep.
And, you know, he can be, I mean, I understand why people may not like him.
I think he's got a good podcast.
I like how he's talking.
I didn't know that.
He has a podcast.
Yeah, The Magnificent Others.
And he just started doing it recently.
He's always kind of been on the peripheral of the alternative media.
I remember when he went in studio with Alex Jones and they went out together.
And, you know, he also owns a pro wrestling organization, the NWA.
But just recently, he said that he's been approached several times, and he wouldn't name the agencies, but by people within those Intel networks to try to get him to do things that he said no to and won't discuss, but he said they were well above his pay grade.
And he's like, why are you asking me to do this?
Right.
Yeah.
All kinds of kinds.
Jason Burmese.
We are deep in the weeds with Jason Burmese.
We do this every Friday at 9 a.m.
Brought to you, of course, by River Cities Reader.
Yeah, well, I just looked up the Warall soup can last sold in 2006 for $11.7 million.
But this year, well, in 2025, they set records after record after record after record on auction for paintings.
I mean, they were, and they weren't like, you know, the old record was $100 million and then, you know, you break the record with like $105.
No, no.
It was like, the old record's $100 million.
Why We're Crippling Ourselves Economically 00:09:35
The new record's $240 million.
Like, there was huge jumps in the highest amount for paintings, different kinds, you know, different genres and whatever of art.
But it went through the roof last year.
Completely insane.
Again, I'm always suspicious when things like that are happening.
Also, I would say this.
You're suspicious anyway.
I mean, that's what we're talking about.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, it's very eyebrow raising.
Yes.
And I think some of that also has to do with the fact that we do have these large transfers of wealth, right?
So they can spend more money.
And again, if these are, you know, ways to launder money.
probably costs a little bit more money for the drugs these days, costs a little bit more money for the guns these days, etc.
So that's not a huge shocker to me.
Like I said, I don't think inflation, for the most part, is going anywhere.
You mentioned, you know, kind of the politics surrounding gas prices and the price of a barrel of oil.
You know, so much of that is largely manufactured in the sense that they turn off the spigots.
They don't produce as many barrels when it's manipulated.
It's super manipulated.
And I know a lot of people sit there and go, well, it's a limited resource and fossil fuels.
There's a lot of evidence to show that oil is not what we have been taught.
It is.
It is a natural occurring substance within the planet that actually is renewable.
But the powers that shouldn't be, the predator class would never want us to know that this is a plentiful and actually renewable resource because then they could not only not instill fear in everybody about this transition into quote-unquote renewables and everything being on an electric power grid that ultimately can be shut off at any moment, but that we're also just polluting the planet to the point of no return via these things that are, again, naturally occurring here on Earth.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
I mean, oil is a handy tool to, you know, to keep control of things, I think.
But I've had a theory for a long time, for years, that by the middle of this century, water will be as important or more important than oil.
Oh, it's coming this time.
Before AI data centers started chomping up fresh water.
Yeah, no, it's coming now.
That's it.
Like, they're doing it.
And that's what's, I mean, people should be terrified of that.
That they would rather take one of the most important life forces on the planet, not just for human beings, but all.
Let me repeat this.
All biological life from the bugs on the ground to the grass that grows to the squirrels in the trees to the trees themselves to you and I, to your dog, we all need fresh water.
And the fact they're going to feed that to the AI beast that to me, you know, oh, why?
So I can see a AI-driven video of Nicholas Maduro dancing in a cell with P. Diddy behind him.
That was kind of fun this morning.
Wow, great.
We're going to.
Oh, but I can't have a glass of water?
Nuts.
Nuts.
So I've been bringing up the same thing.
Like, what are we getting out of this?
Nothing.
You know what I mean?
Okay, so we're going to cripple ourselves economically.
We're going to basically erase a good part of the white-collar middle class.
I think I told you before, I think Jim Farley from Ford's quote was the best one.
He said, AI will literally erase half of all white-collar jobs in America.
So you're going to have a weird, our economy is going to be goofed up.
You're not going to have people with good jobs or basically as good a lives, you know, because they can't get a job that's paying them six figures because those jobs are all taken by computers.
So you're erasing all of that.
You're taking people's jobs, good jobs away from them.
You're taking the water.
And why in the hell do we want to do this?
Like this doesn't make you know the the you like to bring in the predator class, they're the ones with all the money that's doing this.
So obviously that's where it's coming from.
That's where the push is coming from.
But why the hell do we want to do this?
Not really.
It's a terrible idea for humanity.
It's terrible.
Yeah, because they're not pro-human.
These are the transhuman monsters, the people that literally believe that they can transcend millennia of human biology and experiment on the rest of us, try to biologically live forever.
This was actually a discussion that I had with David Ike.
Meanwhile, for the rest of us that have already been transmutated into something that can barely be recognizable as human through a modernity of different bio nanotechnology, things that will go from wearable to implantable at a rapid pace, and the ever-progression of digital technology that we're not going to own anymore, but we'll be able to rent or take part of in virtually, right?
So look, they're very open about it.
I don't play that clip again and again and again and again and again on my program of the ex-chief of science for NASA, Dennis Bushnell, who if people watch this, again, go to my exit at Jason Burmese and you can watch my lecture on transhumanism.
You'll see him and others say it.
Their goal, because this woman's asking, what are we going to do with all these people once the AI is here?
And he says it.
He says, we're merging.
They become us and we become them.
And at the end of the day, you have a human contaminated machine.
That's not humanity.
That's not us.
That's not we want for our future of our children, if they're even allowed to exist.
And the other thing about this is, is these bloodlines, these people in power, traditionally, for, again, thousands of years, and even to this day, on the majority of the planet, we have an authoritarian, feudalistic type system.
The fact that we still have rule by bloodline anywhere in the world, let alone Saudi Arabia, European nations, should trouble people.
So yeah, no, they're anti-human.
That's why they're doing this.
They want to bring in robots and these non-carbon entities that they think they will be in control of.
And again, by being in control of, I guess, for the rest of eternity, because they really think that they are gods among humans.
That's creepy, man.
It sure is.
It's just, it's too bad.
It's wacky.
I don't like it.
What's crazier to me, and I brought this up to a few politicians that I've talked to on the show.
Nobody's talking about that.
It's a spooky thing to talk about.
Well, the conversation is tax breaks for AI data centers.
And if your state can afford to do it, okay, well, let's just go bigger picture here.
Why the hell do we want to do it again?
You know, like what you just explained.
Like, we don't want to do this.
We don't want to do this.
This is not a good idea.
Yeah, you can put a Santa outfit on dad and make a picture of it and send it to somebody.
Or there's fun stuff you can do.
Sure, but don't like the direction it's moving by any means.
But I sure like the ability to have a chat and get some of this stuff out there and shoot the fat on some of this because I don't know.
People need to think about this stuff.
I totally agree.
And again, don't take my word for anything that I said today.
Please go and check out the evidence for yourself.
Go read the indictment on Maduro.
Go watch my lecture where I show you these videos.
Go sit down and watch the Trump press conference.
I'm not telling you what to believe, and I'm certainly not telling you to believe a beauty school dropout pizza guy.
Okay, I'm telling you to think for yourself, check out the base information, and use some discernment because I assure everybody out there, especially when it comes to what's coming via artificial intelligence and future technologies.
Ignorance is not bliss, and you are going to want to want information that's going to give you the power to navigate this system.
Yeah, this way into the matrix, everybody.
And that is going to do it.
I hope you enjoy getting deep in the weeds with myself and Aaron Dahl of WQUD 1077.
Once again, this is a truly independent media operation that cannot be here without you.
You can see the supporters up in the corner: 381.
Love to get to 400 sooner rather than later.
If you appreciate a viewpoint that is not about left or right and always about right and wrong, well, please consider giving to the show.
