Need to Know News (3 March 2022) with Joe Olson, Carl Herman, and Holly Seeliger
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer, Madison, Wisconsin, joined today with a trio of commentators.
I'm delighted.
Joe Olson from Houston, Carl Herman from San Ramon, and Holly Siegeliger from an undisclosed location in the East Coast.
A triple of commentators.
We begin with the New York Post.
Russia declares cyber war on the United States.
Frankly, I think this is propaganda that the United States is going to commit cyber war on the United States.
But they're claiming to blame it on Russia.
Cyberwar has been declared with Russia using preliminary but increasing steps in a campaign to cripple the nation's banking systems and potentially other industries.
This is to further demonize Russia.
Bank executives went common on the record out of fear that it would embolden both cybercriminals and Russian government proxies.
We're in close communication with our member firms and relevant authorities around the world to monitor cyber activities against the financial sector, a group spokesman told The Post.
Biden administration been working for some time to prepare for cyber attacks.
One big bank executive said the consensus in the industry is Russia is behind the latest attacks, but there have so far been no real breaches.
The financial sector is likely to be better protected than other industries because it spends millions on the issue, but other industries are definitely at risk of attack.
Meanwhile, Mexico has declined to join Russia's sanctions.
I think this is very appropriate.
Mexico won't be taking part in the international pile-on to sanction Russia over its invasion, its special military operation in Ukraine, as President Obrador said he seeks to keep his country on peaceful terms with all nations.
The Mexican leader's position marks a novel diplomatic strategy as other nations, including former Warsaw Pacts such as Bulgaria and Romania, join the use in trying to punish Russia.
Choosing neutrality could strain Mexico's relationship with Washington.
But Obrador has been critical of U.S.
foreign policy in the past.
This, I think, is very, very good.
Meanwhile, and I believe this is very serious, spot on, The Russians are warning a famine is being engineered in the Ukraine.
Here's the message they sent.
Ukraine is one step away from a humanitarian catastrophe.
With the beginning of the military op on the territory of Ukraine, trade transit and the supply of food to large cities has completely stopped.
Food is left for two or a max of three days.
Then famine will begin in large cities.
It's already coming.
The situation is aggravated by Kiev's destructive initiative to distribute weapons, which, of course, were taken by the most marginalized sectors of the population.
Mass banditry and looting is already beginning.
Shops are being robbed.
The police have withdrawn from the situation.
The Nazi worsened it, not allowing people to leave the cities, leaving them as human shields.
The Nazis have even shot cars filled with civilians who are seeking to flee.
Russia needs to immediately form humanitarian corridors, set up refugee camps for the civilian population.
We need to start a dialogue with mayors of large cities on creating corridors for the delivery of food to the cities, creating conditions for the survival of the population.
If Ukraine plunges into chaos, this will be a reason for the introduction of peacekeepers into the country under the auspices of NATO.
Responsibility for what happened will be assigned to Russia, up to criminal prosecution through the institutions of international justice under control of the United States.
This will be the beginning of the process of delegitimization of power in Russia, with all the devastating consequences that entails for our country.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, first on the Russian wheat issue, Ice Age Farmer has a great report on the exact impact that that's going to have on all the markets, and then there has been, you know, they warned us that the World Economic Forum was going to do cyber polygon, and that there was going to be this major, you know, cyber attacks.
Well, guess what?
It's already starting to happen.
Ice Age Farmer documents about a dozen different wharf sites around the world that have already had their operations shut down, so they can't get their
Cranes to operate properly to load and unload vessels so we're getting a real supply chain problem there and then also there's a lot of issues with the Russia provides a good percentage of the world's and Ukraine provide a good percentage of the world's wheat supply and Germany has just sent 1,000 Javelin anti-tank missiles and 500 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine so they can help the
the Kardashian mafia overthrow the legitimate needs of the people, just like they did in the 2004 Orange and the 2014 Maiden revolutions.
This is a rogue state run by the Khazarian mafia, and Putin's had enough of it.
So there's not a real happy outcome unless this whole thing collapses really quick.
Carl, your thoughts?
Cyber attack story is a perfect propagandist.
So you have an anonymous spokesperson from allegedly the too big to fail banks.
And forewarning what the United States is likely to do to shut down communications here and to blame it on the Russians.
The too-big-to-fail banks, this is a criminal entity who loots trillions every year.
Go to Carl B. Herman Blogspot, any of these shows, look up looting trillions there and you'll be able to see the documentation of the cartel that is the big banks.
And I've gotten a lot of chatter that the Ukrainians know the score.
They know that these color revolutions destabilize their country and put in puppets into the West, and that they're thankful for the Russians being there, and that it is the paid mercenaries of the Khazarian mafia who are going to be keeping chaos.
And if there is an invasion, it'll be an invasion by NATO.
So we'll see what happens on the ground there.
Scary stuff.
Carl, I think you're right.
Ollie, your thoughts?
Well, I've been doing some research on the city of Kharkiv, which is supposedly one of the cities that is being targeted by Putin right now.
There have been, I think it's called the Azov Battalion that's been there at least since 2013, 2014.
Even the mainstream media said that they started to appear here in Ukraine, in Kharkiv, when Um, the president of Ukraine at the time didn't want to join the EU and instead wanted to solidify their relations with Russia and work on the pipeline etc work with trade as Joe said.
Kiev, Ukraine, and Russia are basically the bread belt of the world, part of the traditional pale of settlement and growing lots of wheat, supplying a lot of that to North Africa and the Middle East.
Well, anyway, with this Azov Battalion, it's in Kharkiv, I noticed as well, Kharkiv was designated as a green eco-city and central bankers have put a lot of money Into turning it into a green city and investing a lot of money into the city.
And then in October of just this past year, 2021, Nathaniel Rothschild was actually there promoting it as the new Silicon Valley of the East.
So there's a lot of banking and eco city tied in and neo-Nazis supposedly all in this one area of Kharkiv.
So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Yes, yes, that's very, very interesting.
The Silicon Valley of Ukraine.
So what's happened to Russia's Air Force?
Experts claim to be stomped.
Before Russia's invasion, Intel had predicted a blistering assault by Moscow, quickly mobilized the vast Russian air power.
Its military has assembled to dominate Ukraine's skies.
But the first six days have confounded those expectations.
Instead, Moscow has acted far more delicately with its air power.
So much, U.S.
officials can't explain exactly what's driving their apparent risk-aversive behavior.
They're not necessarily willing to take high risk with their own aircraft and their own pilots, said a U.S.
defense official.
Vastly outmatched by Russia's military, Ukraine's own air force is still flying and its air defenses are still deemed to be viable, baffling military experts.
After opening salvos, analysts expected the Russian military to seek to destroy its air force and air defense.
By the way, as an aside, I've heard reports they did that immediately, and therefore this may be further propaganda.
Instead, Ukrainian Air Force fighter jets are still carrying low-level defensive counter-air ground attack sorties.
Russia is still flying through contested airspace.
Ukrainian troops with surface-to-air rockets are able to threaten the aircraft and risk to Russian pilots.
Those are Stinger missiles, which are superb weapons.
Where Osama Bin Laden was instrumental in getting them into the hands of the Mujahideen is our man in Afghanistan to drive the then Soviet Union out of that godforsaken country.
The confusion over the Russian Air Force comes as Biden rejects calls by Kiev for a no-fly zone that could draw the U.S.
directly into a conflict with Russia, which I believe they want to avoid at all costs.
Military experts have seen evidence for a lack of Air Force coordination with ground troops by Russia.
Multiple columns set forward beyond the reach of their own defense cover, leaving Russian soldiers vulnerable to attack from Ukrainian forces.
Including those newly equipped with Turkish drones and U.S.
and British anti-tank missiles, the Javelins, which are devastating.
While Russians have been underperforming, Ukraine's military has been exceeding expectations so far, according to this report.
Ukraine's experience in the last eight years of fighting with Russian-backed separatist forces in the east was dominated by static World War I-style trench warfare.
By contrast, Russian forces had combat experience from Syria, where they intervened on the side of President Bashir al-Assad, the democratically elected president, and demonstrated ability to synchronize ground maneuvers with air and ground attacks.
Ukraine's ability to keep flying is a visible demonstration of the country's resilience and has been a morale booster.
It's also led to a bit of mythologizing of the Air Force, including a tale about a Ukrainian jet fighter who purportedly single-handedly downed six Russian aircraft, dubbed online as the Ghost of Kiev.
That turned out to be a video game simulation, which I think is true of much of the propaganda we're getting.
Biden had a standing ovation in support of Ukraine during his State of the Union, praising the determination of the Ukrainians and mocking Putin for thinking he could just roll into Ukraine unopposed.
Instead, he met a wall of strength he never imagined he met the Ukrainian people.
The U.S.
estimates Russia is using just over 75 aircraft.
Well, Russia has potentially readied hundreds of the thousands of aircraft in its air force for a Ukraine mission, declining to estimate how many Russian combat forces will be available.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, we get armed the Mushahedin in Afghanistan with thousands of Stinger missiles.
And when the event ended and Russia pulled out, then CIA went in there to get those Stinger missiles back that hadn't been used, and lo and behold, they fell in the hands of the converted Taliban, and we were yet to recover those.
Then we convinced Gaddafi he needed to have a bunch of Stingers, so he bought tens of thousands of them.
And when we went over there, that's what the Benghazi thing was, was trying to buy up all of the Stingers that we'd scattered all over Libya so we could Transport them through Turkey to feed the ISIS group that we were supporting in Iraq and Syria.
So, you know, these are very dangerous weapons and Russia's got to play their cards close to the vest because at any point NATO could decide they want to jump into this thing with both feet.
And if he's already committed his forces, then he's number one Showing what the capability of his plans are, his existing equipment, and then also his logistics and planning, and so that would leave him exposed to any future events if this thing happens to go wider scale.
So he's wise to do that, but I doubt that they're going to be able to continue to operate much in the way of a ground operation and keep support for the existing Air Force that's in the Ukraine, because those are going to be high-level targets.
And there was a great article with a five minute video by South Front at Veterans Today called Change of Tactics.
And it's a really interesting reading and it's a five minute long video.
Everybody should watch it.
Carl, your thoughts?
The only thing that we can really be sure of is that this is the fog of war and that this is a psyop of disinformation.
The idea that this is an invasion has been talked again and again and again and that is a chosen talking point and the idea of an invasion is a lie of omission because it omits the color revolutionized takeover of the, so that Ukraine could be another Western puppet.
We do know for sure that Zelensky The former comedian, piano-playing-with-his-penis-type-of-guy turned into an actor who played a president on TV is just acting again, and that he is obviously a puppet.
Because if you weren't a puppet, you would obviously speak out.
Hey, you know what?
That investigation into Hunter Biden would have been legit!
Because who would pay a million dollars a year for Hunter as a non-energy expert, as well as the children of Pelosi, Romney, and John Kerry?
So, PSYOP, who knows really what's going on?
Holly, your thoughts?
I think Carl's right.
I think it's really hard to tell exactly what's going on over there.
I'm concerned.
I don't know if it's related or not, but I think it's interesting that, you know, the United States under Biden just left with tens of millions of dollars worth of weapons and equipment in Afghanistan.
Be interesting to see if any of that starts to end up in Ukraine or any of these other areas or people helping out Ukrainians or where where those weapons when I still can't really find any information about I mean, you're just putting your own civilians into extreme danger.
Yeah, I think it's also interesting that they're literally, they claim they're handing out AK-47s to just people on the street, you know, sexy women and grandmothers and everything.
And I think that that's extremely dangerous.
I mean, you're just putting your own civilians into extreme danger.
You have a woman standing outside, you know, waving a gun around, doesn't know how to use it.
She's going to be a target of the Russians, and then they can claim that the Russians are targeting civilians.
So I think, you know, without proper training, those types of weapons, as we all know, can be dangerous, especially if you're just going to be waving around and taking selfies with them like they're showing online, supposedly.
Oh Holly, I think that's a very important point.
That giving these out to civilians without training is a threat.
It's a crime against the population.
This is astounding and unbelievably embarrassing.
Kamala Harris explains Ukraine-Russia conflict to a black radio host.
I mean, this is unreal.
So embarrassing.
Kamala was asked to explain the Russia-Ukraine conflict to an appearance on the Morning Hustle Tuesday.
Ask Kamala to break down the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
She responded by talking down to him and his audience.
I don't think she knows any better, frankly.
Here's what she said.
Ukraine is a country in Europe.
It exists next to another country called Russia.
Russia is a bigger country.
Russia is a powerful country.
Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.
So basically, that's wrong.
As though these were third graders?
This is the person Biden tasked to deal with the Ukraine crisis.
A couple of weeks ago, they announced that she would be sent to Germany to deal with it.
Last Sunday, she embarrassed the U.S.
on the world stage when she spoke to reporters during the annual Munich Security Conference before returning to Washington, D.C.
Here we have the post-millennial tweeting.
This is so bad.
Meanwhile, Democrat governors turn on Biden.
They just admitted a reboot is needed for frustrated voters.
It's no secret the Democrats are in big trouble.
There will be midterm elections, which will determine the House, the Senate, countless state and local.
The balance of power can shift dramatically.
All the polls show Republicans are in the lead.
Far, far, far in the lead.
Biden's failures are piling up, hurting the rest of the party.
Add that terrible leadership from Democrat governors who locked up their states, closed their schools, and hammered families and businesses with mandates.
Instead of recognizing their own part in contributing to the disaster, however, they expect Biden to reboot and save them.
Good luck from Fox.
Democrat governors and gubernatorial candidates are expressing deep anxiety over voters' frustration with their party, as well as President Biden driving fears of potential losses in elections this November.
Democrat governors and their allies are expressing deep anxiety about the political conditions facing their party as Biden's approval rating slumps.
In a year when three dozen gubernatorial races are on the line, including in some of the nation's most important battleground states, Democrat governors held a little retreat in the Republican-controlled state of Florida.
Funny how they didn't bother going to California or New York.
I guess they are just too expensive.
They're panicked, since three dozen governorships will be decided, and Democrats have done themselves no favors.
It seems the governors are blaming Biden.
He's mostly to blame according to them.
He promised to build back better, but he's only managed to tank the economy, open the border, let bullies flourish all over the world.
The entire party will suffer this November.
The DGA expects Biden to reboot his agenda and, by extension, his party's fortune.
Too late for that, folks.
Biden tried to reset earlier this year with a much-awaited press conference.
Instead, he sealed his fate.
The State of the Union will be a disaster since it comes as Russia bombards Ukraine.
But if the governors wind up losing their elections, they only have themselves to blame.
They were the ones who extended the lockdowns as red states reopened.
They were the ones who kept schools closed, punishing millions of families and students.
They were the ones who pushed mandates that jeopardized the jobs of countless Americans.
And of course, Biden made an effort to reboot, but it appeared to have been pretty weak, pretty feeble and unsuccessful.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, at the start of the 20th century, England was a very big country.
It controlled 25% of the land area of the entire world.
And Jamaica was a little bitty country.
And in Jamaica, the largest slave owner for years were the ancestors of Camilla Harris.
And the only African blood that Camilla's got is her mommy came from India.
And India is sort of close to Africa.
So quit browbeating us with your moral superiority, you moron!
Absolutely ridiculous that this woman ever had a law degree, was ever elected to any office, and was appointed, after having the most miserable showing of the 11 candidates in the Democratic field, to be the next in line of succession.
Absolutely insane.
And we're going to talk about the other person that was in line of succession during the State of the Union.
They have to have a cabinet member.
Hanging in the hall so in case something catastrophic happens.
Oh, that person.
I'll tell you in the next segment.
Fair enough, Carl.
Your thoughts?
I think you guys are being a little too hard on Kamala.
I was proud of her myself.
She refrained from cackling at the end of that statement that she made.
The DNC will be extinct unless their only hope is the Dominion voting machines.
And I have heard the Democrat slogan, Vote Democrat 2022, build back better boosters.
Actually, I think that was, it would be insulting to third graders.
That was directed at kindergartners.
Paulie, your thoughts?
Yeah, I think Kamala Harris like speaking down to people and like just being really like like pandering to people reminds me of there's that famous clip of Hillary Clinton I think during the 2016 race and she was on like some some black radio show and she brought up that she kept like
Hot sauce in her purse and like you can still find the clip and even like the black people like interviewing her like are you pandering right now like what are you doing and she's like is it working is it working like laughing and just like Kamala's just as bad she can't read an audience.
I think I don't even know if they use the real Kamala Harris at the at the State of the Union.
I don't know if there's a lot.
Seems like there's a lot of fakes going around as well.
And with the Democratic Party, we're up to 31 people in the House that are retiring this year.
Democrats will probably be Republican seats unless someone was talking about in Nevada recently, there was an election and the Republican button was broken.
So you can only vote for Democrats in the machine.
So I think they're going to try anything that they can.
As long as those machines are around, they're going to find a way to rig them.
Those are nice points, Holly.
Breaking the machine so you can only vote Democrat?
Give me a break!
Meanwhile, Biden during his State of the Union said, Putin may circle Kiev, but he'll never gain the hearts of the Iranian people.
His speech was marred by gaffes as usual.
He announced the U.S.
will be blocking airspace to Russian aircraft.
Then he delivered this gem.
Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.
A friend of mine observed, well that's literally correct, because he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people, but this is unbelievable!
Biden also said Putin will pay a high price for his invasion of Ukraine and a pound of Ukrainian people.
No doubt Chris Wallace will say Biden's State of the Union is the best he's ever heard.
Meanwhile, a speechwriter, Biden's speech was tone-deaf.
Jonathan Bronski, former speechwriter for Attorney General Barr, gave Biden a D-plus for his first State of the Union.
Bronski said the speech was tone-deaf, failed to address major policy failures of the administration.
Other experts also weighed in on the address that took place during the tragic events at home and abroad.
Biden gave his first official on Tuesday.
The speech started out addressing Ukraine launched into a laundry list laundry list land, according to one commentator, and lost the attention of the American people.
Jonathan Broinsky, former speechwriter for Barr, said it was tone deaf.
The Buck Stops With Me president didn't acknowledge responsibility for any of the problems he's produced, Baranski stated, ranging from unprecedented illegal immigration due to open borders to inflation and anemic job growth resulting from draconian COVID mandates.
Other speech experts gave him low grades as well.
Rob Noel, formerly writing for Pompeo, gave him a C-.
The intro on Ukraine worked well enough, but boy did he move on quickly, not to anything particularly compelling or new.
As a technical point, the speech felt strung together and disjointed.
With crammings and jumbly transition, the substance amounted to a dry list of policy points like it was geared toward lawmakers in the room rather than people at home.
Biden did receive an A rating from David Lett, a senior speechwriter for former President Obama.
That said, the speech was a reminder of who Joe Biden really is.
And remember, his boss, Obama, famously observed, never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F things up.
I believe that's a reminder of who Joe Biden really is.
His approval rating, we know, has dropped below 40%.
The conclusion was too safe and forgettable for such an historic time.
Politically speaking, while he may have avoided losing ground, he certainly didn't gain any, and that makes it amiss, observed Rob Noel.
Meanwhile, State of the Union viewers said Biden did not talk enough about inflation or violent crime.
A majority who watched did not believe Biden talked enough about those issues, according to a CNN poll.
Overall, 53% felt he didn't do enough to discuss inflation.
54% did not do enough to address violent crime.
Biden only mentioned inflation a handful of times, touting his vague plan to fight inflation and build a better America.
Fat chance!
to fight in face and will.
Lower your costs and lower the best, as he said, by cutting the cost of restriction, gobbled, and slashing energy costs for families by combating climate change.
Fat chance!
Biden did not speak at length about violent crime in blue cities either, simply saying it's important to invest in crime prevention and community police officers.
We should all agree, The answer is not to defund the police.
The answer is to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities, ignoring the fact that members of his own party have been calling to defund the police for a solid two years.
Notably, he spent a sizable portion on the conflict in Ukraine, while a majority said he addressed it sufficiently.
64% said economic issues were more important than the situation in Ukraine.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, here it is.
Why does the State of the Union need a designated survivor?
It becomes a tradition when members of the president's inner circle, the whole of Congress and the Supreme Court, are on the House floor for the highly anticipated State of the Union.
The entirety of the union huddled in the same room for security reasons.
So they appoint one member.
That designated member this time was Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who has an undergraduate degree from Harvard in Economics, is a Rhodes Scholar, has a PhD in Sociology, has a Yale JD, so she's a lawyer, and she was elected as Treasurer of Rhode Island, and then in 2014, with 41% of the vote, she was elected as Governor of Rhode Island.
That's who's in charge of our Commerce Department, a wall-to-wall Rhodes Scholar lefty.
And she's a designated hitter in case the whole Congress got wiped out by some event, which we prayed for and didn't happen.
Obviously, we'd be left in good hands.
Carl?
Remember with all this with Biden, Biden is an actor.
You have the original Joe Biden.
He has an unattached earlobe.
Whoever this thing is playing Biden has attached earlobes, so this is all some sort of a psyop.
And demonizing Russia.
That's funny, coming from the United States.
Again, Carl B. Herman blogspot any of these shows, look up the paper.
US illegal.
The US.
Through these wars of aggression to provide democracy and freedom or whatever talking points they find salacious at the time has killed 30 million people since World War II.
And Biden has overseen or has continued the worst economic attack in American history on medium and small businesses.
So, of course, people are going to want him to address the economy, but he can't do that because he's at blame.
They also have different signatures in different shape and size of skull, which is a neat trick.
Holly, your thoughts?
Yeah, I think all of Congress and the President, everyone quote-unquote in charge in the United States is very suspect right now.
It's very dangerous for the American people.
I think there's a lot of questions about what is actually going on in D.C.
right now, how much power there is actually over there at this point, the ability of Congress to really even do anything at this point.
The United States looking very, very weak And yet there are people out there saying, we need to go out and save these Ukrainians, we need to help them, you know, horrible Putin and China, and we can't even clean up our own mess.
We left a huge mess, we killed, I'm saying millions of people in Afghanistan, Iraq, and people want to argue about how many people actually died over there.
They admitted at least a million people in Iraq.
I believe there's a lot more if you think about all the people that were in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, a lot of the Middle East over there, which we've been fighting people over.
And we left all that equipment over there.
It was a failed operation on poor intelligence.
And now people want to act like they want to get involved in Ukraine.
I think that this is showing a lot of American weakness, mismanagement.
They're blaming oil prices on Putin right now when we've seen them go up.
They're blaming infrastructure problems on this.
I think this is a manufactured collapse of the United States and probably the global economy, and they needed something like a pandemic.
They need a world war, everything to try to cover up the fact that this is something that is being pushed forward, probably to just kill a lot of people.
Oh, Holly, I think you got it exactly right.
Meanwhile, in relation to the State of the Union, Stu Peters had a few thoughts about it.
Let's see what he has to say.
Uncensored, unafraid, and unstoppable.
The second day of March 2022 Welcome to the Stu Peter Show.
My name is Stu.
Chairman Biden gave his first State of the Union last night.
Maybe you watched it if you're a glutton for punishment.
But to me, the State of the Union is always just dumb.
No matter who is in charge, it always ends up looking like a speech that should have been delivered from North Korea.
The big man speaks while the audience just dutifully delivers a standing ovation every other sentence, like a bunch of pre-programmed rats or computers.
It's fake.
It's stupid.
It's pure political theater.
And last night was especially fake.
Biden got to stand there and ignore the disaster that he's intentionally created domestically so he could distract and focus on the disaster that he's purposely helped to create in Ukraine.
Everybody waved tiny Ukrainian flags and gushed about being tough.
Nobody in either party is willing to say what's actually true.
We're on the brink of World War 3 because our arrogant leaders were too stupid to avoid it.
And to be completely candid and totally honest, we're on the brink of that war because the demonic deep state establishment here in the United States knows exactly where all of the bodies are buried in that failed democracy called Ukraine.
The honeypot.
Where, by the way, our CIA has been practicing PSYOPs and election thefts for years.
Of course, the official response to the State of the Union is always just as fake and as lame and intolerable also.
So you know what?
Let's give our own State of the Union right here on the Stu Peter Show.
And no, it's not a response to Biden's or the Republican one.
We're just going to do it on our own because we know the real State of the Union in 2022.
Last year, more than 2 million illegal immigrants, criminal aliens, poured over the U.S.
border.
It was four times as many people as in Trump's final year.
There's no sign any of that is going to stop.
It's basically an open border.
Walk up and have a kid with you, or say you're a kid yourself.
Or say you're seeking asylum from something that you just literally made up, and they'll let you in.
Until, of course, you get your day in court, which, by the way, you can completely blow off because nobody's going to track you down.
ICE basically doesn't exist anymore.
You want welfare?
You can get it.
Free healthcare?
Hell yeah, we'll give you that too.
We have open borders now.
Just let anybody come in and take whatever isn't nailed down.
And don't worry, pretty soon, there at least won't be much left to steal.
Officially, our inflation rate is now at about 7%.
In reality, it could be much higher.
Of course, even if you do have money, that doesn't mean that you'll be able to buy anything.
There's nothing left to buy.
There's still a shortage of cars and computer chips and computer parts.
There's still a shortage of household materials.
There's a shortage in basic food items.
And for two years, they've blamed this on COVID.
Now, in the last few days, you'll notice they've blamed it on Ukraine.
Get used to that.
The shortages aren't going away because the real cause is the destruction that they have inflicted on the economy and the massive inflation that they've pumped to try and buy the public support, along with, of course, the intent to punish you for questioning the regime in any way.
The economy is on the precipice of a total collapse.
But it's even worse than it looks.
We've racked up about 30 trillion dollars in debt.
30 trillion.
Interest rates have been basically at zero for a decade.
But now they need to raise interest rates to fight inflation, which will massively increase our budget hole because we have to pay interest on our national debt.
So what's going to happen if we have a real recession?
We've been doing stimulus constantly with a supposedly good economy.
We can't spend our way out of the next crash.
We'll be completely, utterly, and totally screwed.
By the way, thanks to this war that we let happen in Ukraine, or actually encouraged intentionally, a big crash is imminently coming.
We've dropped a mountain of sanctions on Russia.
Our leaders think that they can just treat Russia like it's Iran or North Korea, and just chop it out of the world economy.
We can't.
Russia is one of the world's biggest energy exporters.
They're also one of the biggest fertilizer exporters, too.
They can cut off both of those things if they want, and if they do that, that means an energy crisis and a food crisis.
$8 a gallon gasoline, empty shelves in the supermarket.
Here's the situation in our cities.
Massive homeless camps are covering Los Angeles and San Francisco and Seattle and New York and D.C.
Portland is still on fire because our leaders want those homeless camps and fires there.
We could remove them, but we don't, because our liberals like to wallow in filth.
But they stand with Ukraine.
I stand with Ukraine.
I'm sure you've seen that posted on a various social media site from your elected official, Hollywood Satanist, and people that think they're important and making a difference, but let me address them directly.
You don't stand with Ukraine.
You haven't stood with the United States.
You haven't stood for anything.
You haven't stood for freedom right here in this country.
You haven't stood against the abuse and torture of our kids.
You haven't stood against deadly injections being forced on the entire populace while a complicit media hides the 24,000-some-odd deaths that are reported in the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, which we know, according to a Harvard study, only reflects less than 1% of vaccine injuries.
You haven't stood for the POWs being held in the regime's D.C.
gulags being raped and beaten by BLM terrorists posing as prison guards.
You haven't stood for open and transparent elections, or the overwhelmingly widespread demand that the 2020 election be decertified, audited, and fixed.
You haven't stood for fighting the war at our border, where a massive military insurgency is taking place, as our country is attacked by single-aged, military, unchecked, unvetted, criminal, illegal aliens and terrorists that are settling into the interior of our country every day.
You haven't stood against terror in our streets.
This year in America, it's possible that more people will be murdered than will die in your war between Russia and Ukraine.
Murders are up about 44% compared to 2019, and all of this was avoidable.
In almost every other country, COVID lockdowns caused crime to go down.
But here in America, we chose to empower burn, loot, murder, and discredit the police, and stop enforcing the law.
So now, we have anarchy in the streets, looted businesses, criminals rampaging with impunity.
Of course, it's all by design, and done intentionally to punish you.
If our murder deaths aren't enough to surpass what's happening in Ukraine, then our drug overdose deaths are.
We're now over 100,000 drug overdose deaths every year.
That's double where it was six years ago.
Our education system is basically a disaster.
None of our teachers actually want to teach real material with real standards for learning because our teachers are neurotics obsessed with masks and racism.
Our classes are flooded with critical race theory teaching white students and only white students to be ashamed of their skin color, their ancestors, and their country.
When our classes aren't teaching anti-white propaganda, they're of course promoting transgender propaganda.
Our teachers think they have a duty to help kids discover their transgender identities and help them transition while hiding the entire process from their parents.
Freedom of speech is more than suppressed.
It's banned.
It's gone.
It's more invisible than it's ever been.
Facebook, Twitter, and Google have the power to de-platform a U.S.
president, and they've used it.
They also use it to silence anybody who pushes disinformation, which of course is anything they just don't want people saying.
But it's more than deplatforming.
Now you can get cut off by your bank and banned from Airbnb.
There are Antifa zealots who think it's their entire job to dox anyone they don't like and get them fired from their jobs or beat up or assaulted or their houses burned down or them killed.
But there's a lot worse than deplatforming going on.
In Canada, the government has given itself the power to seize any bank account that they want.
And the left wants to bring this power to the U.S.
too, as soon as possible.
We have American protesters still in prison because they protested against a stolen election a year ago.
Some of them have already been sentenced to years in prison.
Some have been tortured.
Some of them have been stuck in solitary for weeks at a time.
Some of them only get let out after they go through the ritual humiliation of saying that Joe Biden is the president.
Some have been denied the right to effectively defend themselves because they refuse to take the vaccine.
Which, by the way, is not a vaccine.
It's a bioweapon intentionally released to create depopulation, and we know that.
And speaking of vaccines, that's still going on.
Millions of Americans have been forced to receive this shot that they never wanted or never needed or vehemently reject.
Millions more have lost their jobs or are being threatened with losing them.
And of course, some people have been maimed or even killed by these shots.
A whole lot of them.
People who refuse these shots are getting executed by killing ventilation protocols in our hospitals.
But it's darker than that.
Our hospitals are openly embracing critical race theory just like our schools.
They're deciding who gets treatment, who lives and who dies based on skin color.
That's a brief but real look at the state of the Union in this country.
It's a mess.
It's a disaster.
It's the worst things have been in decades.
In fact, it's probably the worst it's ever been since the Civil War, at least.
Our leaders are lying to you because they have to, because none of them are remotely competent enough to fix the mess that they've created, even if they wanted to, and they don't.
So that's what's really going on in the state of our union.
The Democrats won't tell you, the Republicans won't tell you, but we will.
Because on this show, it's the truth that comes first.
I thought that was completely brilliant and appropriate, and I'd be very glad to have your comments on it.
Joe, begin with you.
Yeah, well, if you want to see something really depressing, you ought to watch the RINOs reply.
They had the governor of Iowa on there, Kim Reynolds.
Yeah, Kim Reynolds attended, let's see, Northwestern Missouri State for one semester in 1977 and then she piddled around at a couple of community colleges.
Got elected to be Lieutenant Governor in 2011 and when she started to run for Governor of Iowa, the State University of Iowa awarded her a Bachelor of Liberal Studies so that she'd have something on her resume besides just piddling around in a community college.
If you want to see a really good, and I'm sorry Stu, you got upstaged, you want to see a really good State of the Union message, You need to see Marjorie Taylor Greene's.
It's about 30-45 minutes long, and she nails absolutely everything that Stu covered and more.
Absolutely fabulous.
One of the best speeches I've ever seen her give, and I'm pretty much an MTG fan anyway.
Oh, I'm a huge fan of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Carl, your thoughts about Stu Peters and more?
Excellent comments from Stu.
He's right.
We do have a fake State of the Union.
Address fake elections, a fake monetary system.
The debt is real.
It exists on paper.
So all of it, it is really the best of times and the worst of times.
The good news is that all of our problems exist on paper and in propaganda.
We have people, assuming they're not horribly damaged and injured and I think you got that right.
from being injected with that experimental whatever it is.
We have 5% approximately who are psychopaths on this planet, but we do need some sort of a breakthrough to shatter the illusion that people are under.
Without that breakthrough, it's only gonna continue as bad as Stu was talking about and potentially worse. - I think you got that right, Holly, your thoughts. - Well, I think Stu did a great job I've enjoyed a lot of his episodes.
I don't think it's that hard to upstage Biden, though.
That was such a horrible State of the Union.
It was really, really difficult to watch and to listen to.
And just filled with, like, the usual platitudes that every president is expected to say.
Um, you could see everyone was just waiting for Nancy Pelosi to stand up, and then everyone else would stand up and clap every single time that they- they did.
Yeah, she was, like, doing some sort of weird hand rubs, and, like, you know, pushing her fake teeth out, and it was just- it was really hard to watch, like, all of them, and Kamala Harris looked like she was wearing, like, a- a brown paper sandwich bag, like, it was- it was just really weird.
I don't know, they could have at least, like, made them look halfway decent.
I think that they were trying to look weird, so that- That Biden puppet or whatever that they have there looked somewhat normal.
And the Democrats didn't even talk about it.
I mean, the people who voted for Biden six times didn't even watch it.
I mean, they have no way to support this guy.
Biden says he's not going to go to Ukraine.
I think there's a clip where Nancy Pelosi's saying, you know, we'd like to go, but we can't go.
We can't go out there and help the Ukrainians.
I don't remember exactly what she said, but it's something strange about how, like, they're unable to go for some reason, which is also strange to me.
Like, she's acting like she has no power now.
Like, they only have a domestic ability to, you know, cause terrorism like they did on January 6th.
They don't have any real power on the world stage anymore.
I think they do fear Russian retaliation if they intervene, and it's wise not to, but then we shouldn't have created this mess in the first place.
The economic suicide of the West is underway.
Severe economic sanctions against Russia will end the dollar as a global reserve currency.
We think we're being real smart the way we're cutting Russia out of the economic discourse of the world, but it's not going to have happy consequences.
Today's Situation Update connects the dots.
Why the West's economic sanctions have actually set into motion a series of events that will lead to the end of the dollar and the collapse of America as we know it, writes Mike Adams.
If you want to jump, you can.
To understand why the dollar is doomed, realize the petrodollar status made it the world reserve currency, which has dominated world commerce for the last 75 years, since Nixon took us off of this gold standard.
The World Reserve currency status allowed the USA to print more fiat currency and use it to purchase physical goods and raw materials for other nations without offering anything in return other than fiat dollars.
In effect, it allowed America to enjoy a highly prosperous materialistic quality of life, affordable goods that's been artificial this entire time.
Because if you can just counterfeit money and then spend it globally, you have an amazing deal.
All this time, the USA.
has been trading fiat currency for physical goods, a great deal for America, horrible for the producers and exporters, China, Ukraine, Mexico, India, Korea.
The hyper-creation of leveraged debt and trillions of new money printing, especially since COVID, has created a highly precarious global debt bomb scenario on the verge of imploding.
It only needs one black swan event to topple the entire thing.
By goading the West into severe economic sanctions and banking deplatforming, America just fell for Butin's tactical genius and unleashed a series of events that will inevitably spell the demise of the dollar in the clouds of America.
First, the swifty platforming of Russian banks hurts Western banks and institutions far more than it hurts Russia.
Western banks have loan payments due from Russian borrowers.
Now those borrowers are unable to meet loan payment demands.
Similarly, businesses in Europe import substantial amounts of goods from Russia, including wheat, minerals, technology.
With no way to actually pay Russian businesses, those exports will cease, causing extreme economic damage to Western businesses operating in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, contributing to production shortage, supply chain disruptions that will only get far worse.
The businesses have loins of credit and owe money to many Western banks.
When they go into default, which is already beginning to happen, the banks that loan them money will suffer a swarm of loan defaults that were entirely unexpected.
Hence, the Black Swan designation.
But that's not even the biggest factor at play.
When SWIFT disconnected Russia from its system, it broadcast a powerful, history-changing message to the world.
If you want reliable commerce on a global scale, don't use SWIFT or the dollar.
Otherwise, your nation bank business can be cut off at any time, merely because you have a political disagreement with the Biden administration.
Now there's a mass exodus away from lines on SWIFT, a rush out of the dollar itself as international companies dive into the Chinese Yuan as a more stable currency and can still engage in financial transactions with Russia.
That's why the yen is exploding in value right now, by the way.
Informed people are also moving rapidly into cryptocurrencies.
The situation illustrates the perfect use case for crypto.
Rapid, decentralized international transfers that can't be easily trapped by rogue, corrupt governments.
Suddenly, XRP, Bitcoin, etc.
all look more practical.
We're starting to see people enter this realm who are not speculators and holders, but rather practical international business owners who simply need a transaction system that Functions.
For these reasons, there's a global rush away from the dollar and dollar-based systems such as SWIFT.
It's as though Biden and the Western nation were actually trying to detonate the dollar and bring it to its knees, ending the 75 years of dollar dominance in one grand suicidal leap off a cliff.
At this point, global de-dollarization is now inevitable.
It almost certainly cannot be stopped.
Global faith in the dollar and SWIFT has been shattered, cannot or is very unlikely to be restored.
There's another way to easily understand the dynamic.
The commercial aircraft manufacturer Boeing has just announced it's ceasing all support and spare parts for Boeing aircraft owned by Russian Airlines.
Stunning!
Here's a tweet.
Breaking!
Boeing is suspending parts maintenance and technical support services for Russian Airlines.
The company will be suspending major operations at its Moscow offices, which do a significant amount of fleet support and designated work.
This declaration, of course, violates Boeing's contracts with its Russian customers.
More importantly, it sends a message to the world that if you buy Boeing, you'll be cut off from spare parts in support if Boeing decides it doesn't like the actions of your national leaders.
Note, commercial aircraft are expected to fly for 20 years or so.
It takes many years to pay off the loan balances from financing the aircraft.
If they aren't flying, the loans do not get paid.
If Boeing cuts off spare parts, as they have just done, the aircraft simply cannot fly.
They have strict parts replacement requirements cannot be ignored unless you want the aircraft to start randomly falling out of the sky, which Boeing aircraft are known to do on their own anyway.
The result?
No informed air transport company in the world will ever buy from Boeing again.
Why would you risk the total default of your airline due to the knee-jerk reaction of a corporation like Boeing, suddenly deciding to violate its contracts and refuse to support the very aircraft they just sold to you?
Whatever they're doing to Russia today, they can do to you tomorrow.
In similar fashion, what international business person is stupid enough to bet their future on the dollar and the SWIFT system that's proven they can disconnect you at any time with no due process for any reason they want?
This is the international equivalent to the Canadian government looting all the private bank accounts of peaceful protesters or donors who simply gave 20 bucks to the Freedom Convoy.
There is no stronger declaration for why Canadians should take all their money out of those banks immediately and never use them again.
As a business owner, importer, exporter, manufacturer, the minute you realize the SWIFT system, the dollar, and Western banks are all part of a criminal cartel of woke globalists who can destroy your entire business literally overnight.
You will seek out a parallel economic system that promises far greater reliability and less woke-tard muckery.
This means there'll be a mad rush away from SWIFT, away from the dollar, away from America.
The new financial power centers of the world will likely land in China, with Russia also playing a significant role due to its vast energy and other natural resources.
America, on the other hand, will be left holding Joe Biden's diaper bag while the dollar plunges into oblivion.
The dollar's days are numbered, and the global process of migrating away from the dollar is already underway.
When the dollar collapses, America will be plunged into lawlessness, chaos, and destitution.
Most commercial transactions will simply cease to function, causing a near-immediate halt to deliveries of everything—food, fuel, replacement parts, vehicles, tractors, and more.
You don't have to be a genius to figure out America's cities will burn while gun battles rage in the streets where the Democrats defunded the police, even before the collapse.
Here's what downtown Seattle looks like in early March of 2020.
Two.
Just happening now.
Hours after a shooting on 3rd Avenue in downtown Seattle, the insanity has returned.
This is a stretch between Pike and Pine Street.
Open air, drug use, sales of all kinds of merch.
Trash everywhere.
How is this allowed?
All the decades of debt creation, fiat currency counterfeiting, bailout money blowouts will coalesce into a day of reckoning that will plunge America into outright chaos.
States will be forced to issue their own currencies just to prevent the plunge into third world chaos.
Secession will commence.
The D.C.
swamp will find itself embroiled in both a kinetic and economic war on two fronts, the home front and the international.
It won't be long after the swamp falls and the American empire ceases to exist.
This has been the design all along, courtesy of Barack Obama, who put this plan into motion in 2008 and still runs it in 2022.
Once the dollar is abandoned on a global scale and the U.S.
government collapses, America can then be invaded and conquered by the communist Chinese who need Americans' farmland to feed their populations.
A mass genocide will seek out and execute every American who can be found, including all the leftists who once believed communism was awesome.
They too will be shot and dumped in the very same mass graves they thought would be filled with Christians and conservatives they hope to mass murder Mao-style.
It'll take years for the entire process to unfold.
During that time, the American people will be out and suffering through extreme supply chain disruption, outrageous price inflation, and the very real possibility of widespread famine.
Learn about where fertilizer comes from.
It's made from fossil fuels via the Haber process.
Obama's war on fossil fuels is actually a war on food.
At some point not far off, the dollar will lose 20% of its purchasing value each calendar month.
Hyperinflation will become a horrifying reality.
Mass money printing by the idiocracy Biden regime will only make matters worse.
At some point, the corrupt, broken, brain-dead government bureaucracy will attempt to confiscate firearms across America.
That will spark a domestic civil war, which is exactly what Obama has been seeking to set off since he ordered Eric Holder to pursue Operation Fast and Furious.
All this I'm describing is already set in motion.
If we do nothing, it will happen as I've described.
I have successfully and very publicly predicted vaccine bioweapons, depopulation against humanity, the 2008 subprime mortgage crash, even the dot-com collapse.
However, There does exist a possibility of late-state intervention that could reverse all this and restore America.
It would require a complete change of who's in charge in D.C., followed by mass arrests of treasonous actors in Congress, the federal government, big tech, big media, big pharma, and much more.
It is highly doubtful that such house cleaning will occur.
Even Trump is still a shill for the vaccine industry, while leading conservative Republicans off a little more than rhinos who can't wait to betray America.
If we had another hundred Wendy Rogers MTGs and Rand Pauls, we might have a better chance.
Some credible researchers believe there's a secret White Hat plan to stage mass arrests of the top criminals and reinstall Trump, the rightful winner of the 2020 election.
I hope they are right, but I don't put much faith in the plan, especially when all the deadlines publicly proclaimed to be the dates of action keep being rescheduled and moved back and back and back.
The whole thing smacks of an elaborate intel op to convince the American people to stay disengaged while their nation is stolen and destroyed from within.
In the meantime, merely surviving all this is going to take extreme planning, stockpiling of supplies, and a hardened mindset of adaptability and courage.
That said, perhaps 95% of the American people have no real planning, no real stockpiles, and are mentally weak and unprepared.
Life has been too easy in the U.S.
for too long for reasons I mentioned up front.
Easy money printing, affordable consumer goods often acquired with little or no effort.
The American people haven't had to struggle for things in the way third world citizens do every single day.
I've lived in Taiwan and Ecuador for extended periods of time.
I've traveled in Asia, Central America, Europe, Australia.
I speak three languages with adequate proficiency and am able to carry a conversation with locals in their own language.
What I have learned over these years is America has grown fat, dumb, and lazy.
Ivan wrote and performed a satire about it in 2013 called Dumb and Lazy.
I hate to say it, but I think Mike Adams has it exactly right.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, when Trump left office in January of 2021, the price of oil was $68 a barrel.
Four hours ago, the Brent crude just passed $119 per barrel.
And when you have that kind of an escalation in price, almost a double in price, I think that's an apt comparison.
little to the whole entire production and supply chain of the whole entire world economy.
The ripple effect is gonna be fast and it's gonna be enormous.
And so bottom line is we've turned ourselves into Zimbabwe and nobody seems to be bothered by it yet.
Well, just wait, you'll find something to be mad about in the very near future. - I think that's an apt comparison.
Carl, your thoughts? - Mike Adams is great and that is the history of the petrodollar It was designed by the oligarchs, led by the U.S.
Empire, to be the command currency, so that you could do exactly what Mike was talking about.
You can go ahead and create debt, and then other countries will invest into the reserve currency.
And that game has allowed for this, whatever it is, $30 trillion national debt.
And if you take the aggregate debt, that has the same exponential growth curve.
And that has to collapse.
Those are the mechanics.
We have the Orwellian opposite of a monetary system.
It's a debt system, and when you create what is used for money as a negative number forever, that is an unsustainable system, and it'll have a tragic comic collapse.
Now, what our owners of the rigged casino want is they want to pull the plug when they're ready, have somebody else to blame, and then bring in The Great Reset and then to try their game in some form over and over again.
So the Great Reset is going to move on from COVID and it's going to move on from the 2020 elections and put that into the memory hole.
And they always want to maximize fear so that people are fixated on the present.
So the idea of an orchestrated war and the use of nuclear weapons, or at least the story and the propaganda of nuclear weapons, And the collapse of the monetary system should help them in that worst case scenario.
The good news is that this is just a system of parasites.
This is the monetary system is only exist on paper.
There are superior designs.
And again, Carl B. Herman Blackspot, any of these shows, I walk you through the mechanics of monetary reform and public banking.
There are no deadlines for white hats that I'm aware of.
And the Americans, they haven't grown that way.
They've been lied and tortured and stupefied so that they are led into like tortured farm animals into fat land.
They've been enter trained and they've been stupefied by corporate media.
Well said, Carl Hawley, your thoughts.
I think Carl's right.
Talking about China, China's been buying U.S.
security, Treasury security, so in other words, U.S.
debt for several decades now, and they own over a trillion dollars of U.S.
debt.
Supposedly, we own the central bankers, like Carl said, about $30 trillion.
But Japan is the only other country that supposedly owns more U.S.
debt right now.
So they've been buying this with the guarantee that they would either get goods or they'd be getting something out of this.
So according to Ben Fulford, who's lived in Japan for several years, like many years, he's a journalist.
He said that Japan actually wanted their gold back, which they claimed was taken during World War II, and they said, okay, well, in exchange for the US debt, we'd like our gold back.
Well, he claims that Fukushima was retaliation.
for them attempting to get their gold back.
Well, I think China is aware that the United States does not have any gold.
There isn't any gold in Fort Knox.
It's all disappeared, especially after 9-11.
So I think they are expecting U.S. farmland, water.
They don't want to nuke the United States.
The United States has vast natural resources.
So I think it would make sense that they would be wanting to purchase U.S. land.
Now, like California, for instance, United States people aren't supposed to know any of this.
It's in the realm of conspiracy theory, but you can't just keep on buying U.S.-backed securities without having any sort of guarantee.
Good, good, good points.
I I think this is one of Mike Adams' most perceptive columns.
Meanwhile, West orders seven Russian banks off a SWIFT but leaves others on.
Incoherence here.
Western countries agreed to remove seven Russian banks from SWIFT, but they kept access for other Russian banks, including two key lenders, leaving open a conduit for payments to Russia for vital energy supplies.
The EU will formally sign off on the decision late Tuesday.
The measure will come into effect on Wednesday.
Just happened.
In other words, Swift will be instructed to cut VTB, Russia's second largest bank by asset, VEB, and five smaller.
They've all been fully sanctioned by at least one Western country, meaning they were already caught off from the global financial system to a large extent.
Notably absent, however, are SureBank and Gazprom Bank, both key banks in Russia.
We'll continue to scope our measures to allow for steady energy supply to global markets, said a U.S.
administration official.
Run by member banks and is supposed to be politically neutral, said it was engaged with authorities to understand which entities would be subject to BAM and would be disconnected.
Meanwhile, getting excluded from SWIFT significantly complicates trade, foreign investment, remittance, and the central bank's management of the economy.
By sparing Sberbank and Gazprombank, the West showed that while it wants to inflict pain on Russia, it lacks the appetite to completely sever its financial system, at least for now.
Serbank, Russia's largest, serves a considerable part of the country's population.
One in every two companies has an account there.
Gazprombank, meanwhile, is a major conduit for oil and energy-related payments.
Europe relies heavily on energy imports from Russia.
The U.S.
and EU authorities have said they protect money flows for that purpose.
It could change, however, if the situation in Ukraine deteriorates further.
In the U.S., high inflation visible through gas prices are also heaping pressure on Biden to make sure sanctions don't boomerang back on American consumers.
Fat chance.
U.S.
and other nations said they'd tap emergency crude oil stocks to alleviate pressure, but it's minuscule.
We're talking about a day or two supply, given the rates of consumption.
Meanwhile, Poland pushed hard for the EU to delist all Russian banks.
Other EU countries weren't convinced, but promised they'd come back for further discussion.
Gasprom Bank so far dodged the tough sanctions.
Sherbank has been spared.
The bank's cut off from SWIFT.
There may be options.
Russia, for example, has its own payment system.
It currently has only 23 foreign banks connected.
20% of internal transactions are already done through it.
We have the financial messaging system that can replace SWIFT inside Russia and allows a connection of foreign participants at the Bank of Russia Governor.
Western economists are skeptical because it doesn't have the same advanced technical standards as SWIFT.
It also risks foreign companies from falling afoul of Western sanctions.
Beijing has its own payment system, too, with more take-up by international banks than Russia.
Some critics have worried banning Russian banks from SWIFT could draw Russia and China together, eroding the supremacy of the dollar-dominated global financial system, just as Mike Adams anticipates.
I tell you, Putin didn't initiate entry into Ukraine without sorting all this out with Jaipin before the invasion.
It's already solid.
Russia and China are unified.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, there's been a quiet building of an alternative financial system for a long time called the BRICS.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
When you squeeze the balloon, it's going to go somewhere.
So no matter how hard you think you're squeezing Russia, they're going to be able to do exporting through one of these other countries.
And they'll also be able to purchase and import through those other countries.
So it's a minor inconvenience for them, but it's going to have a major impact on us when you take that much oil off the market.
And China is also, I mean, Russia is also the third largest producer of gold, and they have over 2,000 tons of gold in their reserve.
So they'll be able to set up a currency that is actually going to be asset-backed instead of debt-backed, and that will be a complete disruptor for the whole entire system.
And that's what we need to shift to if we have two nickels left to rub together when all the collapse happens.
That's a wonderful point, Joey.
And I say, Obama got this part right.
Never estimate Joe Biden's ability to F things up.
Carl, your thoughts?
The SWIFT system as a communication and it's basically a communication system is going to collapse from the violation of his contracts to the woke agenda.
And this is all a desperation push for this one party authoritarian totalitarian government that is similar to the Politburo dictating events and policy in the former Soviet Union.
The People's Party in China and in the U.S., I don't know what they're going to call it.
Maybe they're going to call it the fact-checked wokes at the end of the rainbow or something like that.
But it's all the same thing, this totalitarian push that we are standing against.
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, I was trying to remember where I had heard of the company Gazprom before, so I just looked this up real quick and I remembered that there's a guy named Charles Dolan who was an operative for the Clintons, particularly for Hillary Clinton, and he had provided information which we found out to be false, of course, for the Steele dossier.
And he had actually worked for aspects of the Russian government and was on the board of the gas of the gas giant Gazprom.
So he was working for the Clintons on Gazprom and involved with the Steele dossier.
And I guess, did you, I think your article said that Gazprom was not one of the oil giants that has been censored right now or removed from trade with the United States.
So that would seem to make sense under the Biden administration.
That's a Gazprom bank, yeah.
Gazprom is Russia's energy giant at the center of all of this.
Meanwhile, remember Klaus Schwab, what he told us, clear as day.
Look at the paragraph.
At least 4 billion useless eaters shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars, organized epidemics of fatal, rapid-acting diseases, and starvation.
Energy, food, and water shall be kept at subsistence levels for the non-elite, starting with the white populations of Western Europe and North America and then spreading to other races.
The population of Canada, Western Europe, and the United States will be decimated more rapidly than on other continents until the world's population reaches a manageable level of a billion Of which 500 million will consist of Chinese and Japanese races selected because they are people who have been regimented for centuries and who are accustomed to obeying authority without question.
There it is stated in black and white.
It could not be more bold.
And here's why I think the situation in Ukraine is catastrophic.
Get this.
My friends, welcome.
In my previous report, it was still the early hours of the conflict in Ukraine, but already we could see that merchant ships getting hit with vessels and the ports closing was going to be a big problem to the extent that a third of the world's grain supplies come out of the Black Sea region.
Of course, we said let's keep an eye on this and see how long the situation is going to continue.
And unfortunately, in the hours since then, not only have numerous analysts and traders and experts echoed my warnings, but we see that this is not going to be a short-lived thing.
In fact, countries are shutting their ports to any Russian flagged vessels or vessels that have been chartered by Russian companies or even carrying Russian goods that's you know for example the UK today passed a law to ban all ships with any Russian connection from entering British ports so that's even if they Completely clear up the conflict in Ukraine overnight.
These vessels are not going to be able to reach the UK going forward.
But even more absurd to me is the fact that you see the global shipping industry shutting down service summarily to Russia.
So here's Maersk, the world's biggest shipping company, suspending all container shipping to Russia.
And several others then hopped on board this This is not a virtue signal, this is a destruction, an implosion, a controlled demolition of the global shipping industry.
Here from Bloomberg, Russia gets cut off from the world trade as shippers halt cargoes.
All containers, about half of the companies now, have said we're not even going to send containers to Russia.
Folks, you can't do that and have the world continue to function as it has been.
Here it is, quote, almost half of the world's container ships will no longer go to and from Russia.
That's going to royal trade in everything, not just metals and clothes and electronic goods, but food.
There it is right there from Bloomberg.
So this is now a lasting effect that we're going to have on the food supply.
So I want to give a little more concrete data to what's going on and how that's going to impact the global food trade.
And then because a lot of people are now talking about this, then I want to step back and get some perspective on this and ask the question, how much of the greater reset agenda, the absolute zero carbon agenda, the great food transformation does what we're the great food transformation does what we're seeing now push forward, right?
Because if you remember from the absolute zero report, part of their goal, it wasn't just about reshaping the way the world eats and cutting out meat and raising food prices.
So people would stop wasting food and so on and so forth.
It It was also about ending the shipping industry.
You can see that big red dot right there, as all shipping declines to zero because of carbon emissions.
We have to get rid of the shipping industry.
So, is Maersk literally committing suicide in order to achieve the zero-carbon agenda?
That's part of the question I want to ask today.
Let's talk about all this.
I'm Christian, and this is the Ice Age Farmer broadcast.
And as you can expect, when you shut down trade of a third of the world's grains, wheat traded up limit today, meaning it rose in price as much as the market allows before the circuit breakers kick in and they stop trading.
Corn was also up 5%, and we'll read here from Zero Hedge a few choice quotes from traders and analysts.
Quote, this means all shipments of farm goods from the Ukraine have ceased, and commodity traders will have to surge elsewhere.
Activity at the ports has been halted since Russia invaded last week, and the grains trade from Russia as well is effectively on pause.
And even if it weren't, the ports are now closed, and Maersk is stopping service.
So this is not a situation that will be resolved any time soon, unfortunately.
And based on that, quote, if the conflict is prolonged, there could be really serious consequences, according to the president of consultant Strategie Grains.
Quote, wheat will need to be rationed.
And then even Arlen Suderman, who I've talked about quite a bit now on this program, he is chronically understated.
But even he is saying today, quote, I'm not going to put a lid on what might happen here.
We could easily be looking at record prices.
Indeed, you see the chart of wheat futures here today, finally hitting back to where it was at 2008 levels.
Again, wheat is tremendously important.
It's a very strategic grain.
And when prices get out of control like this, well, we'll just say last time this happened, you saw the Arab Spring, right?
There are notoriously geopolitical consequences when we prices rise.
CIF-based researcher AgroConsult warned the chain of product creation, in other words, growing food, from cultivation straight through to the port shipments is completely paralyzed.
And that is a problem.
Concluding the disruption comes at a time when global food prices are already near record highs and now will be catapulted into unknown territory.
Now briefly, I want to look at why this is so impactful to Ukraine, because again, the majority of the ag production in the Ukraine is in the eastern parts.
Those that are affected right now by the conflict.
So here from Lon Jock on Twitter, you can see 76% of wheat is grown in the east.
Here's a map of the Ukrainian wheat production.
Again, a map of corn production.
69% of corn production in the eastern provinces.
And then 77% of all oil seeds is in the eastern part of Ukraine.
And he goes in, if you want to check out his tweets, he goes into some detail.
If you spitball roughly a 25% estimate of yield loss due to this conflict, then you end up finding out that this is going to be about 5% of world ending stocks for wheat.
And 8% of world ending stocks for corn that are just taken off the table right now.
That are just gone.
8% of the corn in the world just removed from the equation.
I think that is a very rosy estimate and again because of the UK and mayors and everyone closing ports and just cutting off Russia.
It doesn't even matter if it's only 25% that's lost.
Now it's gone from the world trade altogether.
So that's why I'm not going to go much further into those estimates there, although they are interesting.
And then, again, stepping back, it's not just this conflict in Ukraine that is informing the absolute explosion of food prices right now.
It's also the fact that Brazil has just had a terrible season.
That is why ships are sitting empty for weeks waiting for the delayed Brazil soybeans there.
A backlog of vessels waiting to load soybeans from some Brazilian ports is now stretching to near record lengths as the biggest bean exporter in the world struggles to harvest and ship the season's crop due to extreme weather.
Some boats have now been waiting for more than 40 days for their cargo as opposed to normally it's 7 to 15 days.
And this is evidence that not enough soybeans are making it to the ports.
Again, Brazil the number one exporter of soybeans.
Except the beans just aren't there.
So this, again, is another reason this is a problem.
And it's not just the actual food commodities, it's all of the inputs, with nitrogen fertilizer prices jumping by a record amount due to supply concerns.
And again, there's already tremendous availability and price issues, not just in the US, but around the world.
And Bayer declaring force majeure.
So between fertilizer not being available and being super expensive if you can get it, and inputs like glyphosate and other insecticides no longer being available, it's gonna be a rough year for the US as well, to say the least.
So setting aside food production. - Let me just put it this way.
What he's describing is a calamity for the world.
And frankly, I don't see a way out of it.
Joe, your thoughts?
Well, there's not much of a way out of it at this point.
Everybody's familiar with the Klaus Schwabetz and his global leaders thing where they've got 4,500 world leaders including premiers and their cabinets that are all part of this cabal.
But Amazing Polly did a dig on the farm club that's been set up to take care of these folks.
You've had 30 years of the world global leaders.
And she found out about a group that's called Global Shapers and they take the 18 to 29 year olds and they groom them to be wonderful little servants of the system.
And it's pretty eye-opening.
She goes through several different cities in Canada and goes through the individuals that are involved and how they just suddenly pop up being interviewed on the news.
They suddenly get popped up as appointments and they suddenly get appointed as advisors.
The things that they're never qualified to do, but just because they're members of the Klaus Schwabette fascist gang.
It's unbelievable.
I recommend everybody put Amazing Polly Bitshoot on your regular viewing list.
Nice.
Carl.
Yeah, Klaus Schwab in his World Economic Forum, he does brag about how many global cabinets he has penetrated in order to instill that philosophy.
The Great Reset is really a reset of this exponential debt, it's a reset of the population, and it's a reset of history.
The idea of embargoing cargoes is going to create a black market and higher prices.
We do need It's an endgame choice for people, and the people watching this show, we're already on board with the idea of don't believe these people, these political leaders, and the corporate media demand their arrest for the obvious crimes centering in war, money, and lying.
Otherwise, it's just going to go on and on and on, and we're going to be great reset into extinction.
We do need some sort of a breakthrough, and I hope we have the friends in high places to make that happen now.
Paul, your thoughts?
Well, we had seen this with the supply chain shutdowns, you know, first it was a chip shortages and there was that story of the cargo ship off the coast of Portugal that was headed to the United States filled with luxury cars and they all caught on fire and burned for weeks on end.
They're all filled with the lithium battery cars.
And finally, That ship burned and went into the sea because they had been abandoned because the ports have been closed for the past two years so we had seen this kind of coming for a while now past couple years where the ports have been shut down due to the pandemic and now they're being closed because of the war and You know, as Jim Pisacchi said, it was the tragedy of the treadmill.
People can't get their treadmills for a couple months.
Well, what about the tragedy of wheat or cooking oil or other rice supplies that need to go to other parts of the world?
The more that the United States isolates itself, the more we're going to have food problems, especially it's become abundantly clear This is why we've seen the irrigation problems and the farming issues in the United States and their reliance on petrochemicals for industrial agriculture and why we see Bill Gates buying up farmland and leaving it fallow.
This is all disturbing beyond words.
I'm just devastated by the report here.
I think the consequences are mind-boggling.
We want to hear from you.

Putin has been well mayor of the previous many years of hoaxes in the U.S., so if the U.S.
can attack its own people, so can Putin.
The number one of many is Sandy Hook, a fake story still promoted by the U.S.
government and all the media that 20 little kids were killed at that school, many of them shot in the face, plus six adults.
Biden the liar said he saw the blood photos and then ran from the cameras.
Try and find that video I saw.
This is why the U.S.
has zero credibility and no moral authority.
This story is not going away.
Even the number one bookseller worldwide banned the book about Sandy Hook after it had sold 500 copies in a month.
File.
Party food sitting on the hood of a state police car at Sandy Hook's school.
The day of the hoax.
How could they have been out there feasting if they were seeing all these bloody little bodies?
It's incoherent.
You'd be so nauseated you couldn't eat for a week.
Further proof if or needed.
Meanwhile, Amazon banned my book so you wouldn't learn what really happened at Sandy Hook.
It was a FEMA drill presented as mass murder to promote gun control.
Then they sued to shut me up, and the Wisconsin courts played along.
I have the proof and the law on my side.
What I don't have is the money.
They want to do to us what they've already done to Canada.
Take guns, impose tyranny.
And it's on the way with Remington's help.
First insurance, then registration, then confiscation.
I'm asking SCOTUS to stop it.

Check it out.
This is for all of the marbles.
And if you go there, you'll see a whole lot, and it's all spelled out in detail to substantiate every aspect of why this one is so bloody important.
Check it out.

I need your help.
Meanwhile, remember, 1% control the world, 4% are their puppets, 90% are asleep.
5% know and try to wake the 90%.
The 1% use the 4% to prevent the 5% from waking up the 90%.
We're doing our best, we're doing our best, but it may not be enough.
Joe, your final thoughts?
Yeah, last week I did an interview with a local video producer named Steve Sands on election fraud, and it concentrated mainly on Texas election frauds, but I did mention that in 1876 there was a massive election fraud with the election of Rutherford B. Hayes versus Sam Tilden, and then
Earlier this week, there was a guy interviewed named Robert Beatles, B-E-A-D-L-E-S, at SGT Report on the massive amount of fraud that happened in 2020 in Reno, Nevada.
And you'd think, gee, that's really weird.
And then, Jim and I have both been promoting the trailer for a film called 2,000 Mules, produced by True The Vote, directed by Dinesh D'Souza.
The two-minute trailer's out, and I contacted them yesterday.
They said they're hoping for a release first of April of this year, and they've got terabyte data on all of the vote harvesting drops in five different states, so they've got them dead to rights.
The guy in Reno, Nevada has them dead to rights, and I've got information in the interview that I did on the rhinos in Texas that rolled over and let us have We're going to beat these people, but it takes every one of you waking up and wake up a friend or two.
Carl, your final thoughts?
It does get crazier and crazier and crazier, and I just remind our audience who I thank for their engagement in literally truth, justice, and the American way of inalienable rights.
Everything that you're going to hear from political leadership and corporate media leadership is just going to be propaganda to get you scared and push you in a certain direction, so don't even engage in it unless you want to be informed of those talking points.
And be proud of what you think and what you say and what you do.
That is the creative content fully within our control.
Holly, your final thoughts?
Joe, I don't know if those are birds in the background, but it sounds nice.
Sounds like spring over there, wherever you're at.
I just wanted to say I was reminded of Nevada.
There's a viral video of a man who went up to the governor of Nevada and he started to yell at him.
He called him a traitor.
He said, I can't believe you're out here at this restaurant in public without security.
You have some gall.
I can't believe that you're out here.
Not directly threatening him, but definitely made him feel uncomfortable to the point where he left the restaurant.
And I think we're getting to that point now where I think if people see these politicians who rigged these elections, we know they did, many of them for decades, put on these mask mandates, forced people to leave their jobs, and now blaming Russia for everything, people aren't just going to put up with it anymore.
Especially if we start to see food shortages, people are going to go nuts.
I'm just delighted with Joe and Carl and Holly joining for this kind of high quality analysis and discussion from an historical point of view.
The Republicans had to steal the election of 2000 to bring us Bush and Cheney and 9-11 and the Patriot Act, which transformed some 35 agencies of the government into one monster Department of Homeland Security.
That was bad for national intelligence, for gathering and doing good for the American people, but it was positive for authoritarianism and the deprivation of rights of the American people.
The Democrats had to steal the election in 2020 to bring us a completely incompetent pair, a sock puppet with no mental competence, no conscience, no morality, no principles, a guy who's actually an actor, I'm convinced, to be our president, and a vice president who has the mind of a child.
It's embarrassingly bad.
But the deep state wanted that.
The global reset is moving forward with no opposition from America, because we are without a leader.
We are a ship adrift.
The situation is as bad as it could possibly be.
And I must say, when reflecting upon the war in Ukraine, what's going on there?
The devastation to the food supply is one of the reasons that they wanted to provoke the bear.
They do intend to starve most of the world's population, and I'm sad to say they're well on their way to accomplishing that goal.
Spend as much time as you can with your friends, family, those you love and care about, because we do not know how much time we have left.
