This is Jim Fetzer, Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Carl Herman in San Ramon, California, and Chris Weinert in Fort Myer, Florida.
We're here to bring you all the news you need to know.
And there's some good stuff taking place here.
We begin with a hard night in Ukraine.
This is after the attack by the Russians with these hypersonic missiles on the command and control posts being run by NATO and U.S.
officers, which is, I think, a catastrophe.
Meanwhile, they've also attacked energy facilities throughout Ukraine.
According to the president, there were targets all over the country.
Both infrastructure and residential buildings were damaged.
Various regions, communications, water supply interrupted.
Ukrainian energy company DTEK confirmed at least three thermal power plants were damaged.
Zelensky said one of the targets was the Kiev's C8P5.
Previously, it had already been hit, but it continued to function.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claimed, among others, six Russian Kizar hypersonic missiles were used simultaneously.
If confirmed, it would be the most massive use of hypersonic missile during the Russian operation in Ukraine.
Since Ukraine in air defense has no ability to intercept them, most likely they'll reach their targets.
Meanwhile, by asking for a massive $886 billion military budget, I cannot imagine this is going to be approved.
This is getting close to a trillion dollars.
Congress could, however, actually bring it to over $900 billion, closing in on the $1 trillion mark.
They don't include funds authorized for the Ukraine war, which could add another $100 billion.
Secretary of Defense Austin said the funds were needed to confront China.
The present budget request provides the resources necessary to address a pacing challenge for the People's Republic of China, address advanced and persistent threats, accelerate innovation and modernization, and ensure operational resilience amidst our changing climate.
That's just a lot of bullshit.
Going to responsible statecraft.
More than half of the budget will go to defense contractors.
Lockheed Martin, General Dynamo, and Grumman Northrup Raytheon getting the biggest chunk.
Meanwhile, General Milley, whom I regard as a traitor to the United States, wants more money already.
During a meeting with Congressional Meetings last Thursday, he said for Ukraine to maintain its operations against the Russian attack, Congress must approve another spending package by June.
A Washington Examiner reported that the chair of the Ukrainian Joint Chiefs said he told Milley they need to have 16 fighters.
He and his U.S.
counterpart discussed the Ukraine necessity to beat up its air defense capabilities.
A spokesman for the chief said Milley reaffirmed the U.S.
unwavering support for the sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine.
They've repeatedly asked for F-16s, but it's unlikely they're going to get them.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on CNN last week said that they are not necessary at this phase of the war.
Moreover, what they need are tanks, infantry vehicles, tactical air defense systems, armored personnel carriers, artillery, What it will take to retake Russian-occupied territory, don't bet on it, not an inch of that Russian-occupied territory is going to be retaken.
Meanwhile, Republican Congressman Michael McCaul told ABC after speaking to Milley he doesn't think the admin has taken F-16 off the table and he believes that the U.S.
can provide Ukraine with weapons they need to defeat Russia.
It's a pipe dream.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, we're seeing the collapse of the Ukraine's military, and hopefully more important is the narrative behind it.
And the narrative behind it, of course, is the U.S., the U.K., and NATO installed Zelensky as a puppet.
He's a blackmailed and bribed puppet.
Probably he has more that he's been playing with his penis than just pianos that they have tape over to control that guy.
Now, with the destruction of The Ukraine's military.
I hope that what the world will be left with is that this was again expansion by the US UK NATO Empire from 2014 and 2016 for those color revolutions.
When they installed puppets, they bombed the Donbass, who rejected the puppets, more murdering, 14,000, prompting, finally, the Russian military relief for those Russian speakers, and, ongoingly, if people can just see that the whole time the US, UK, NATO, and Zelensky refused the peace terms that were to leave Donbass alone, Just give them independence!
And then no NATO for Ukraine, which they promised, so it's just the expansion of an empire and connected to the military budget of the U.S.
only and always expanding.
I'll put a link to my essay series as a retired AP U.S.
government teacher.
The U.S.
is not limited government in a constitutional republic and a democracy of voting.
It is a lying, looting, illegal, rogue state empire that I can explain, document, and prove in that series.
They're on top of that election fraud, and that's the U.S.
Chris, more good money after bad?
Yeah, bad money after the good, I guess, even, too.
You could say maybe reversing it or inverting it a bit.
Yeah, I think this is a business decision where the people with heavily vested interests are economically devoted to rally people under these patriotic war cries and these democratic pleas for For greater societies or for civilian safety or peace or whatever the heck it is they're saying, ultimately they plan on robbing those people blind so they have no interest in the actual people of this country.
More or less creating a proxy country for them to extract resources and to really, I think, control the economic forces of the European Union by this place too.
If you think about everything that comes out of Ukraine, Uh, and the amount they're dedicating to this, uh, in terms of defending it, uh, I don't think they would dedicate this kind of resource unless they're going to get tenfold return on it, uh, on investment.
So, you know, just like Iraq or any of these other places, this is a pure and simple, uh, resource grab and, uh, a depopulation tactic.
And I think, uh, it's working as they, as they planned and hoped and both sides are saying they're winning and there's propaganda on all sides.
to the desperate and to the sentimental, I should say, too.
So interesting what we're seeing here.
We don't hear any conversation about all US institutions economically going bankrupt or banks on the brink of bankruptcy.
You hear about approving billions and trillions to go into Ukraine and fight for their freedom.
While they're putting Americans in jail for no due process or the Jan 6 guys, they won't even talk about this stuff.
You know, it's such an inversion to see the way that they play these games with the psyches of the people.
And I guess the hypocrisy knows no bounds in terms of these appeals.
So, yeah, I think that we've got plenty of problems at our own home that we need to deal with that are far more extravagant than the minuscule ones that we're calling in the Ukraine.
100% correct.
And they seem to be using the money to launder it to get it back to the Democrat Party in large measure.
Black market all day, Fats.
You got it.
Meanwhile, all hell breaking loose after a former RNC chair wanted him as NBC and accused Tucker of a jaw-dropping crime.
Democrats, the legacy media and Republican ruling class elites, have spent the last two years pushing the narrative that Trump incited an insurrection on January 6th, and that he and his supporters are a grave threat to democracy.
Democrats even went so far as to hire former ABC News President James Goldstein to produce their primetime televised witch hunt.
By cleverly editing the video for the sole purpose of turning them into made-for-TV events that would sell the phony narrative to the American people.
Before the midterm, Kevin McCarthy promised to release a full 41,000 of unedited security camera footage if he were elected Speaker, rather than the few hours I carefully selected and edited clips released by Pelosi.
Last month, he followed through and released footage of Tucker and his team of journalists and producers.
The mere fact that he released the footage didn't sit well with Democrats, but once Tucker began airing the footage, completely debunking the entire narrative of Trump supporters staging an insurrection, the ruling elite began throwing a toddler-like tantrum on the floor of Congress.
The morning after his first report, Majority Leader Schumer rushed to the Senate floor, possibly earlier than he's ever been there before, to demand that Fox take him off the air and cease releasing the footage.
But it's not just Democrats who are after Fox and Tucker.
The Republican establishment sent Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, for example, to Lindsey Graham, for example, are just as invested in the January 6th narrative as Democrats.
Their top goal is to force conservatives to sit down, shut up, and obey the ruling elites.
During an interview with MSNBC, former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele put jaws on the boy with his vicious attack on Tucker.
Demonic force.
That means Tucker must be possessed, or Tucker is one of the demonic creatures that enable that force.
He said, I tend to go for the latter.
I mean, how absurd can you get?
This kind of narrative, he continues, that comes out of this demonic force that were perpetuated by those demonic angels, those demonic psychopaths that keep pushing this.
That is a great setup.
What you're seeing Tucker do, and what Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert do, you make the clowns in the clown car and go from there.
Steele claimed Tucker is twisting the narrative around January 6, even though it's simply showing security footage.
But then he made a jaw-dropping accusation.
When the trigger is pulled, in my view, thank you, Tucker, said, you're the reason why.
You're the reason why the next January 6th happens.
Of course, the D.C.
swamp is in a frenzy.
The most watched primetime cable news host in America has evidence to prove the Democrats have been lying to America for years, and Tucker's not afraid to show it on Fox.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well that's very interesting.
The former RNC National Chair Michael Steele blasted out just with that excerpt of quotes with five demonics.
Now, when they talk like that, it's not by accident.
So that word demonic, either it's a script, well it is a script, But if he's in charge of the script, if the demonics are in charge of the script, then they're getting ahead of the story as usual for their usual projection to accuse the good guys of what they themselves actually are.
That's a common thing, is that the real insurrectionists for January 6th, the Democratic Party leadership in this case, they're accusing their opponents of insurrection and for the US-UK NATO war crimes and war of aggression.
Against the Donbass, they accuse Russia of the same thing when they go to their defense.
So this is usual projection, unless this is a white hat injection of a talking point that's going to be revealed.
I hope it's the later Fagena war.
Who knows what's really going on with that?
You know, Michael Steele, he always seemed to be a reasonable guy.
Black guys seem very moderate, but these are idiotic remarks.
I can't believe he said them.
Yeah, Michael Steele's a DC puppet, no doubt.
A talking head, without question.
He's always proven himself to be such.
So you can't really expect too much to come from these people that will make much sense.
It's more or less them creating a theatrics of justification to achieve their own partisan agendas.
And you're really seeing with the partisan agenda, the theatrics have always been in America, and I think so at least.
When you see these absurdities create this polarizing process as a natural byproduct, You're going to see not only the momentum build and certainly the retaliation, the backlash in terms of, you know, the woke-ism and the Karen-ism and all that stuff.
So, to see them integrate this level of, like, occultic symbolism, though, in these type of sentences, they're putting it out there in terms of the book of law and the uninitiated will take one interpretation from I don't know what they're saying, but certainly the insiders and those that are paying attention will definitely understand higher levels of interpretation based on one's degree of knowledge or involvement in this cabal, maybe even two.
So yeah, I think really they're taking sound bites and things out of context, and it's almost like a Mad Lib type of presentation where they create news stories that present some sort of degree of danger and oppression.
They could put some fear into the hearts of the most hypocritical of oppressors in terms of the liberal agenda and how they've been used by the military-industrial complex.
So, yeah, it's amazing to see this going on and the inversions and then the flips and the twists.
You know, it's kind of interesting.
We're getting on to like Act 5 now in terms of the script and it's going to unfold pretty heavily, I think, in the next few months.
And embarrassingly bad for the Democrats.
Just god-awful.
Could hardly be worse.
Meanwhile, it's been all over the news.
Massive wind forming outside San Francisco's Silicon Valley bank branch.
This is true in New York City and elsewhere, where everyone is worried about their money.
The FDI insures up to $250,000 per deposit or per bank per ownership.
If customers were holding more, then they risk losing everything over $250,000, according to earlier reports.
According to earlier reports, 90% of SVB customers had more than 250,000.
According to a friend who called me this morning, Oprah's distraught because she's got half a billion, 500 million in SVB.
So you can bet they're going to do something to save her ass.
The New York Police Department responded to a Silicon Valley bank branch in Manhattan after investors wanted to pull their money out of their accounts.
The bank was shut down by regulators on Friday, the biggest bank failure since the 2008 liquidity crisis with $173 billion in holdings.
The Fed interest rate is at 4.57.
117 billion of Silicon Bank securities are yielding only 1.56 to 1.66, causing a run on the bank.
California regulators shut it down, and the FDIC took it over.
They're worried that the bank will go bankrupt, that start-ups will be wiped out, and that the crash might cause a recession.
Lots of data here about exactly what's going on.
Meanwhile, massive number of Reddit love to say they're not getting paychecks because of the bank collapse.
Here's a tweet.
So many companies, including where I work, haven't paid their employees today was supposed to be paid.
Hey, another ditto.
My manager said FDIC insures only up to $250k per account, and our company was already cutting costs left and right to stay afloat.
Doesn't bode well.
I'm one of those who will miss being paid.
Our tiny little setup has been trying so hard for funding, we finally got some enough to put our runway out to almost a year and a half, which is awesome.
With events today, I'm not only not getting paid, but the FDIC only covers a part of what we had in the bank, so, after endlessly struggling, Another, my employer couldn't pay me today through their payroll, so they zelled me, laughing my ass off, no doubt because they expect the zell transfer is going to bounce.
Another, my friend just called me.
His company had a 15 mil with SVB, and they initiated a wired transfer to move the money, and SVB only sent $250,000 this morning.
His company is going under and won't be able to make his payroll.
Let me add now, the SVB's lobbying group fought proposals to bolster deposit insurance much before its advocacy said that such an initiative would unduly burden banks.
In the months before the SVB collapsed, their lobbying group fought a proposal to require financial institutions to increase payments into the F-Deposit Insurance Fund that protects depositors from failure.
As lawmakers now face calls to expand deposit insurance to stave off a wider bank run, the battle shows why that insurance has remained limited and why new initiatives to require banks to pay for more insurance would face obstacles in Washington.
To put it simply, powerful banking interests and their allies in Congress oppose measures that would force banks to pay higher premiums to fund depositors' insurance.
Federal regulators announced emergency actions that will protect all depositors, pledging that any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by special assessment on banks.
Last year, Bank Lobbying Group mobilized against the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation proposal to raise bank insurance premiums.
Lobbying Group's representative, SVB, argued the risk of bank failure is low, that requiring banks to pay more into the fund would harm their bottom line.
Meanwhile, U.S.
regulators rush to contain the SVB pullout.
Biden vows to fix the mess.
Fat chance.
U.S.
authorities unveiled sweeping measures to rescue depositors' money in full from failed SVB and to promise other institutions help in meeting customers' needs, as they announced a second tech-friendly bank had been closed by regulators.
With the two failures rattling nerves, Biden vowed to hold fully accountable those responsible for this mess.
The American people and American businesses can have confidence that their bank deposits are there when they need them, he said, as though words would make it true.
In a joint statement, financial agencies, including the Treasury, said SVB depositors would have access to all their money, and that taxpayers would not have to put a bill for that chance.
The core goal was to reassure bank customers they would have their money to meet payroll to keep their businesses operating, make sure households are able to pay the rent and the mortgage, The Fed, the FDIC, and Treasury said that depositors at Signature Bank, a New York-based regional size lender with significant cryptocurrency exposure, which was shuttered on Sunday, would also be made whole.
In a potentially major debacle, the Fed announced it would make extra funding available to meet the needs of depositors.
Which would include withdrawals.
We are taking decisive action to protect the U.S.
economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system.
The U.S.
banking system remains resilient and on a solid foundation, due in large part to reforms in banking industry safeguards undertaken after the financial crisis of 2008.
Those reforms, combined with today's action, demonstrate our commitment to take the necessary steps to ensure depositors' savings remain safe.
Carl, this sounds like a lot of bullshit to me.
Your thoughts?
The whole system, the financial, banking, market, insurance, it's all bullshit.
So with this, the Fed jumped in yesterday and they made an announcement that all depositors, both insured and uninsured, would be guaranteed.
So that takes care of Oprah.
And what happened with SVB is that they were planned by the Fed's guidelines, but for whatever reason happened on the inside, big investors pulled their money.
And if that happens with any bank, under the system of this fractional reserve so-called lending, any type of a run makes any of those banks vulnerable.
But what makes them most vulnerable of all is that they gamble.
And the biggest gambling casino is the so-called derivatives markets.
And derivatives are just gambles, they're bets on what's going to happen with future prices.
The total value of the derivative market is, what we can count and approximate, is about one quadrillion.
So, if you think about this, you've got, you know, bi, billion, two, tri, trillion, three, quad.
So, the underlying assets of this thousand trillion is about 56 trillion.
So, the derivatives gambling is the estimates range from 10 to 20 times the actual asset value.
Now if for whatever reason people want those real assets and there is a stampede to get them, a run, then the whole fucking thing comes down and we will witness The end of that Ponzi scheme.
Now the FDIC, and I'll put an article that I wrote last night with that documentation, and the good news is that we have, you know, mechanical solutions that have been around for hundreds of years and documented and tested and promoted by leading American thinkers.
The FDIC is just virtue signaling.
The amount of money that they have in the account But again, all you need to do is be smart enough to consider that we have an exponential growth of a debt curve and that is because the whole system is predicated
Upon this satanic, demonic inversion, this Orwellian lie that debt is equal to money.
They can't keep this up.
It crashes on its own when the interest rate becomes too tragic comic.
Yep.
Chris, I don't think it's going to work.
push us and hurt us into the great reset after this system collapse.
What we want on the great awakening is an understanding of the mechanics by which they enacted fraud on the entire planet, looting hundreds of trillions of dollars.
Then they get arrested.
And then we have an honest, transparent system moving forward.
Yep.
Chris, I don't think it's going to work.
Your thoughts?
Well, a few.
Great points, Carl.
I have to add maybe a little bit to what you said.
This debt has also decided to remain insurmountable.
And through the credit market, they have really made debt slaves.
And now that they're yanking up interest rates, it's going to become a lot more cutthroat for people to find a way in these tough times already when they were surviving on credit.
So it's interesting.
I'd also like to point out to the FDIC only has I think it's 0.3% of total funds available at once for these type of situations.
So if you see more than one bank run in this instance, which you've seen three in the last couple of days, you're going to have serious trouble.
And these guys are going to have to go ahead and hand it either Congress or to the privately owned Fed, and I'll get more into that in my final thoughts, but definitely interesting to see how this is turning about.
This script is going to be turned so that the 1% will harvest most of the quote-unquote pork and what is going to be given to public assistance that is demanded due to severe mismanagement and corruption of their funds and pensions and money.
So these last three banks, Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank, they are minor in comparison to some of the big boys that are probably going to go down next, and probably should have gone down already.
You remember Credit Suisse got $6.2 trillion from the Fed in the last two months for their credit default swaps.
And I've heard that Bank of America, Citigroup, Chase, and Wells are all on the ropes And as Carl said, with derivatives, these guys are over the edge because, you know, their physical-to-paper contracts are in the multiples of 100 to 300 to 1 for some of these commodities.
I know silver and gold especially.
So, they're going to have a very interesting day at work when this house of cards comes crashing down and all these hyper-allocated metals are called for deliverance.
So yeah, interesting to see what's going on.
And really, you've seen the CFTC, the basically regulatory agency of Wall Street, going dark with the Certificate of Traders reports, basically, COT reports.
It reminds me a lot of 2018 and 19 when FASB 56 took congressional funding dark.
So you're seeing some pretty interesting times.
And I don't think that anything good is going to go on in the darkness of these type of cover-ups and schemes.
And speaking of schemes, all Ponzi schemes require the confidence of existing and new victims in order for it to flourish or even survive.
And right now, what we're seeing is a Ponzi scheme being funded to the tune of trillions of dollars in interest to just survive in terms of the military-industrial complex and all these banks and certainly Wall Street along with it.
And, you know, I think in 08, they papered over the mortgage-backed security and credit default swaps.
And I think that's where crypto valuations came into prominence, because they were able to obfuscate a lot of currency with that and control market caps and to control valuations of cryptocurrencies.
And even the FANGs companies, too, with the 08 bailouts, something went on with them and Class A shareholding of the Federal Reserve.
I might get into that a little bit later if I have time as well.
But basically, this is why you see FANGs go up so much in value is because they took over part of the private ownership of the Federal Reserve after the 08 bailouts.
So, yeah, I think there's a lot of stuff tied into this that the public is not being made aware of.
And even the shows that focus on economics don't even talk about this.
You really have to get into the weeds and listen to these guys trip up and say too much one time.
And you can remember that and take it to the bank.
You know, because these guys don't lie.
They don't bullshit.
They just definitely don't publish what they're saying.
They have their private meetings that none of us are privy to.
But when it slips out, you really got to pay attention to what is being said.
Because I think this whole crypto bubble is about to pop.
Because humanity found out about the surveillance system and the technocratic feudalism that was going to be ushered in through the digital fiat IOU system.
And I think it's being blown to pieces in terms of credibility and even demand.
So they're facing a very difficult situation here with this.
And I have to say that most of the business models and the economic models that were created under this type of thing is based on the transfer of risk and the transfer of reward.
And it's also based on optimism.
And you're seeing the negative effect of these guys being, you know, exposed for what they truly were coming to reality.
And it's taking an overwhelming position in the public sentiment.
And I think these guys are really going to have to find a way to limit the amount of risk and the amount of liability that they've accumulated immensely in the aggressive play that they've taken in the last few years.
So I think it's all coming to fruition now.
And I think you're seeing, you know, hangouts of the small boys now, but you're going to see some bigger ones go down.
Brilliant.
You and Carl just said an expert on this issue.
I can't imagine two commentators doing better than what the two of you have just done.
Meanwhile, we'll be right back.
Get this, we have Janet Yellen telling us, no federal bailout of Silicon Valley bank economies in good shape, both of which are bullshit.
Clearly, there is a bailout.
Is in desperate plight.
Bad news.
Meanwhile, Twitter files.
U.S.
taxpayers unwittingly finance a growth in power of a censorship industrial complex.
The latest Twitter files reveal how federal government weaponized private companies, taxpayer-funded non-government organizations, and commercial news media To target social media accounts disseminating content that ran counter to official narratives.
Latest Twitter files reveal it all.
The files, dubbed the Censorship Industrial Complex, confirm the U.S.
government sought—indirectly and via private intermediaries—to have misinformation, disinformation, malinformation—or so it was called—removed from Twitter and other social media platforms.
The revelation revealed how NGOs working with the government sought to censor social media about COVID vaccine injuries that was truthful on the basis that it encouraged vaccine hesitancy, which of course was fully justified.
These revelations come the same day the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Government heard testimony about the revelations contained within the Twitter files.
Matt Tiabi testified, as did author Michael Schellenberger, who contributed to prior Twitter file releases.
According to Tiabi, the bulk of censorship requests didn't come directly from the government.
But through a wide array of non-government actors who partnered with Twitter.
This censorship industrial complex, said Diaby, included NGOs and an unexpectedly aggressive partner, commercial news media, which worked together with state agencies like Homeland Security and the Global Engagement Center, an arm of the Department of State.
T. Harvey tweeting, the bulk of censorship requests didn't come from government directly.
Asked if Twitter's marketing department could say the company detects misinfo with the help of outside experts, a Twitter executive replied, Are you comfortable with Margaret talking about misinfo by saying that we detect it through ML human review and partnerships with outside experts?
I know that's been a slippery process, so not sure if you want our public explanation to hang our hat on that.
According to Tiabi, The NGOs included the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA front, I would add, the Atlantic Council Digital Forensic Research Lab, and Hamilton's 68th creator, the Alliance for Securing Democracy.
NGOs ideally serve as a check on corporations and government.
Not long ago, most of these institutions viewed themselves that way, but they now act as effectively one team with intelligence officials.
Tiavi tweets.
More about it.
Same point.
He noticed that effects by prominent NGOs and private media outlets extended beyond attempts to censor narratives surrounding COVID, including the vaccine and those injured, to remove or de-platform accounts disseminating such content.
In one instance, Hannah Murphy, a technology correspondent with Financial Times, contacted Twitter, giving the platform until the end of the day to provide a steer regarding whether the accounts of RFK Jr., Chairman and Chief Litigation Counsel of Children's Health Defense, and other members of the so-called Disinformation Dozen would be removed.
Children's Health Defense, we need it.
We knew this was happening, but here it is, plain as day.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate is urging Twitter and other platforms to ban the accounts of 12 people, including Robert Kennedy Jr.
and Maricola.
Matt Tihabi.
Twitter files repeatedly show media acting as proxy for NGOs with Twitter bracing for bad headlines if they don't nix accounts.
Here the Financial Times gives Twitter until the end of the day to provide a steer on whether RFK Jr.
and other vax offenders will be zapped.
NewsGuard is a fact-checking organization partnering with major social platforms and the WHO, which has received significant funding from Big Pharma.
NewsGuard also partners with the Center for Countering Digital Hate, the author of the Disinformation Dozen.
Kiyabi described the Stanford Internet Observatory's Election Integrity Partnership, renaming The Virality Project, after the 2020 U.S.
election, as perhaps the ultimate example of the absolute fusion of state, corporate, and civil society organizations and among the most voluminous flaggers in the Twitter piles.
Upon relaunching, the Virality Project was onboarded to an internal Twitter ticketing system, absorbing the government proxy into the Twitter infrastructure.
Matt Peabody tweets, it's crucial to reiterate, EIP was partnered with state entities like CISI and GEC while seeking elimination of millions of tweets.
In the Twitter files, Twitter exec did not distinguish between organizations using phrases like, according to CISA, escalated via EIP.
Lots going on here.
Matt Grayson tweets.
This is a very long and heavy video, but more about exactly how it was done, how the Stanford Lab was on board at Twitter's JIRA ticketing system, absorbing the government proxy into Twitter's infrastructure, with a capability taking in an incredible 50 million tweets a day.
As The Defender has previously reported, a virality project developed by the USDA's Rumor Control, which claims to fight online misinformation and disinformation about COVID, became a major player.
In one remarkable email, T. Abhi tweeted, The Rally Project recommends multiple platforms take action even against stories of true vaccine side effects and true posts which could fuel hesitancy.
None of the leaders of this Tabliz-Covid speech had health expertise.
EIB's research manager, Renée de Rista, who previously worked for CIA, described her entity as filling gaps in enforcing what federal government legally cannot, alongside tech partners like Google, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter, under remove, reduce, or inform policies.
EIP claimed it had succeeded in getting 22 million tweets labeled prior to the 2020 election.
New Knowledge, an organization Arista founded, helped design the Hamilton 68 project, which targeted Americans like Ultra Mega Dog Mom, Right to Liberty,
A British rugby player named Rob Bishop, and people who use the term Deep State, another to risk the initiative Project Birmingham, appears to have created fake Russian bots, which then followed political candidates like Alabama's Roy Moore in 2017, who was then accused of having Russian support for his U.S.
Senate candidacy based on the fake Russian bots.
This is a censorship industrial complex at its essence.
A bureaucracy willing to sacrifice factual truth in service of broader narrative objectives.
It's the opposite of what a free press does.
Packaged as a bulwark against lies and falsehoods, it is itself often a major source of disinformation, with American taxpayers funding their own estrangement from reality.
By way of proof, no major press organization has reexamined the bold claims to wrest a new knowledge made to the Senate.
For example, that Russian ads reached 126 million people in 2016 while covering up the Hamilton and Alabama frauds.
If the CIC deems it, lies stay hidden.
More.
In the digital age, The sprawling new information control bureaucracy is an eerie sequel to the dangers Dwight Eisner warned about in his farewell address when he said, A potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists.
Carl, your thoughts?
Great story.
Thanks for including it, Jim.
So, governments that go totalitarian, they have to have censorship.
And they have to have censorship because the truth is, is that it really is a Ponzi scheme.
It's a pyramid.
And if the people on the bottom part of the pyramid withdraw their support, then those people on the top will lose their control.
In the system that we have, part of the documentation of the financial essay that I'll link at the bottom, is that one percent Own 99% of the assets.
And if people saw the truth of that and the mechanics about how they're actually lying and looting in psychopathic glee, then their game would be over.
And the censorship, yes, it is creating the funny money to buy organizations.
And you're going to label these the same thing as the truth of information cheerleaders.
You'll find some Virtue signaling name that hits the right talking points, according to their research for psychological warfare and.
They're going to go ahead and pin those organizations like YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and they're going to have those warning labels and that's going to prompt.
The unplatforming of anybody who dares to challenge the government narratives.
I'm sure that I know that at least Jim has been deep platform a couple of times, and I've been deplatformed a couple of times.
We have enough already.
Or proof in the background that to justify people withdrawing consent and demanding arrest of these leaderships for these crimes that are centered in war ongoing war and the ongoing bankster looting and the ongoing corporate.
And until we do get a breakthrough, then we're just going to be subject to more and more of this propaganda.
I like the status that we're seeing.
I think that there will be a breakthrough this month.
I think that the American public have seen enough and that we now have the majority on our side if and when that breakthrough does happen.
Very good.
Chris.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hey, great, great stuff, Carl.
I absolutely agree.
Couldn't agree more.
You know, it's kind of funny.
I think of now this the DARPA offering of social media and these technological devices as the social media industrial complex.
And I think it was absolutely a full-fledged PsyOps that was released.
It was something that Made the Stanford experiment of the 70s dwindle in comparison in terms of prisoners and cards or whatever and the social dynamics that came from playing these fictional roles.
And certainly Facebook and many of these other offerings have gone into whole new alternative universes and realities in terms of their people's content on there and what they actually do and what they're intended to do.
I think they've been deep state offerings from the get go.
And I think that really they might have proxy owners and certainly have been traded in terms of risk diversion on Wall Street under IPOs and whatnot.
But I think that the whole point has been to control them and to have this dragnet surveillance as well as this dragnet censorship that has come from this.
And it's not a circumstance, an accident, a one off thing, a hustle foul.
This was a formation, a dragnet type of thing is the only way to put it.
It's orchestrated by big money and it's their orchestrated efforts to not only censor but to conspire in terms of electioneering, resource accumulation.
Everything you can imagine in terms of a fair deal and a social contract has been compromised under these pretenses.
And this asymmetrical surveillance that they put on and the abuse that they've done with this and using the private sector has certainly not absolved the government from this type of overreach.
It has absolutely just made it far more pervasive because now there's a third party involved with this thing so that they're not legally liable, but they are still I guess, accessible to these type of data.
And big data has become the new gold, I think, in these days.
And I think that Tybee, he's probably just hitting the tip of the iceberg in terms of this stuff.
You know, he understands the concept of what the deep state is doing with this social media thing, too, in terms of creating an illusion of consensus and compliance and the illusion of democracy.
These are all forms of the ultimate population control.
A despot's wet dream.
And these guys are going on with this stuff and playing it off like it's nothing or no big deal or just a minor, you know, circumstance.
This is everything.
And I have to also say that these guys cannot be allowed to just keep, you know, we can't allow these psychos to keep murdering their way out of this.
You know, at some point in time, you know, we have the names, we have the conspirators.
This is an actual conspiracy.
And at some point in time, you know, we're going to have to start collectively compiling this, I think, if we want to deal with it.
I'd also like to say that most of these philanthropists have used many dehumanization efforts that have stemmed from alphabet agencies and offerings and NGOs that they put out.
You know, the doom cloaked as salvation type of offerings.
And I think that they are very prevalent.
And I think that they're probably going on a whole stand for Ukraine thing as well.
I meant to bring that up when you said black market, it reminded me of that.
And I also like to point out and say my own case.
I am certainly not an intelligence agent.
I don't have anything to do with any countries.
I stand for America, the Constitution, the people.
I have to say that in 2016, my Facebook account was hacked and they said it was by Russian hackers in 2016.
My profile pictures were altered, they put in pro-Russian type stuff, changed my bio, a bunch of other things in there, and basically I got the hell out of that thing because I realized what it truly was.
But I think what they were kind of doing was laying a false background to a true person and trying to create some sort of long term play in terms of theatrics, you know, in terms of so they can just dispatch some buzz cut to come along and kill you and say you're in terms of so they can just dispatch some buzz cut to come And, you know, I think they do that just about anybody that tries to stand up for their community as they dehumanize them in some way,
way, shape, or form and create false backgrounds of their past and really try to ascribe them and document them, kind of like they did with Lee Oswald and many other things, as you've seen in terms of these conspirators and how they work in history.
So I'd like to say that I don't think I'm anything special, but I think it's kind of interesting to see them do that to a common citizen that has no involvement with any of this stuff other than saying the right thing at the right time.
Where did they do that, Chris?
They went to gift wrap me as looking like a Russian bot.
Where did they do that, Chris?
2016.
Which platform?
Facebook.
Facebook.
Yeah, I haven't been on there in, jeez, seven years probably.
Fascinating!
I got bounced off of Facebook and dropped on Twitter and a whole bunch like... Oh yeah, I've been kicked out of finer places than that too, Fats, right there with the... Oh, that's a fascinating story.
It's crazy though, you know, because I mean, like, it was so, like, bogus.
I'm like, what the hell are these guys actually putting out there?
You know, and this was...
Somebody doing this.
Organize money.
Big money doing this.
Get into my Facebook account.
It wasn't just some hackers.
As you say, it came in a false bio for a real person in order to share it.
Yeah, they had my picture used as other profiles and shit like that.
I'm like, I didn't even have my own picture on my own post.
So I was like, wow, what the hell is going on here?
They were trying to make me look like an agent or something.
It was crazy.
I'm sure that's what they were trying to do.
On my wiki entry, I can't get them to change blatant falsehoods about my views about 9-11, for example.
Welcome to the real world, Feds.
Yeah, it's just terrible.
It's just embarrassing what they do here.
Sorry to jump in on you, but I just think that's important to say this because it's the truth.
No, you're absolutely right.
Meanwhile, Bill Gates is admitting some cold truths about climate change, namely, he's having a hell of a time persuading people to eat bugs.
Billionaire Gates dismissed the possibility of people making significant changes in their lifestyle, like giving up meat, becoming vegetarians, to counter the alleged effects of climate change.
I don't think we can count on people living an impoverished lifestyle as a solution, he said, at an event in India.
You know, meat consumption in India will be less.
That's wonderful.
Will all Indians become vegetarians?
Will Americans become vegetarians?
I wouldn't want to count on it.
Anyone who wants to evangelize that, they're welcome to.
I won't resist in any way.
Gates's earlier push for Rich Nation to adopt 100% synthetic beef made out of plant proteins like beans or peas, carbs like potato starch, fats like canola or coconut oil, minerals and flavoring.
In an online interaction on Reddit, Gates pushed for the widespread adoption of plant-based meat products.
For people who want to go vegan, that's great, but I don't think most will do that.
There are companies making beef, and it's in quotes because it's not actually beef, in new ways, and people working to still use cows but reduce their methane emissions.
I have backed a number of innovators in this space, including Beyond and Impossible in Memphis.
I think eventually these products will be very good, even though their share today is small.
Gates' push to move away from meat consumption and adopt plant-based alternatives comes as he's busy buying up farmland in America.
According to a July 2022 letter by Representative Dusty Johnson, seeking Gates' testimony about his farm purchases, the Microsoft founder is the largest private landowner in America, owning more than 270,000 acres of farmland in 19 states.
At the India event, Gates talked about energy consumption, pointing out, If governments are willing to implement tough laws, air conditioning can be banned, which would be good for the climate.
He admitted, however, it won't be happening as a warmer climate will keep raising the demand for cooling.
As India gets warmer and warmer, I'm betting the demand for air conditioning is going to skyrocket.
The country has the most air conditioning by far, the United States.
Even Europe doesn't have what we have.
So as it gets hotter, you know, you demand more electricity, which if it's not green, then you're in a positive feedback loop.
You'll wonder if Gates has any idea where electricity comes from.
He then pointed out most of the demand for more energy, cement and steel, is coming from middle-income nations like India, where even if you stop at, say, a quarter of American energy intensity, that climate change is very, very dramatic.
The Microsoft co-founder also suggested even when the U.S.
uses half as much energy per person, it would be unjust to ask India to maintain consumption at current levels.
According to Our World in Data, energy use per person in the U.S.
the US was 76,634 kilowatt hours in 2021, about 11 times energy consumption in India at 6,992 kilowatt hours per capita.
Last year, Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace, claimed climate change is based on false narratives on bullshit about which he's 100% correct.
In an email obtained by the Epoch Times, Moore, who left the organization back in 1986, said Greenpeace had been hijacked by the political left When they become aware of the money and power involved in the environmental movement.
Once you become more of a political movement than environmental more stated, they're primarily focused on creating narrative stories that are designed to instill fear and guilt into the public so the public will send them money.
Last year, the Independent Foundation Climate Intelligence received signatures from over 1,100 scientists and professionals worldwide for its World Climate Declaration stating, there is no, there is no climate emergency.
In an interview with Amitar and Marcel Koch, Founder of climate intelligence said even if it were accepted carbon dioxide is the main driver of climate change, there is still no climate emergency.
We simply state all evidence so far Indicates increase in CO2 and temperature not harmful for us or for nature, and therefore the climate hysteria surrounding the topic is totally unjustified, and the cure, getting rid of fossil fuels ASAP and replacing them with renewables, probably will be worse than the disease of climate change.
Well said, Carl.
Your thoughts?
So Bill Gates, the convicted monopolist, is now working to monopolize farmland under his control as well.
The number one purchaser now of U.S.
farmland, who has publicly said that he should put vaccines in the food to make sure everyone gets them.
So that's the guy that is lecturing us on energy now too, huh?
Okay, I'll put a link in wanttoknow.info, their energy section.
We already have had breakthroughs with free energy, but they're being suppressed.
Our masters want to control us, and so we're not going to get free energy.
And regarding Gates, if you're as tired listening to him as I am, then just simply withdraw your consent and demand his arrest for what you can prove.
And what we can prove is his role with COVID, with those crimes against humanity.
Very good.
Chris?
Yeah, just to be clear of the agenda of the Global Warming Climate Change people, they say cows need to be gone and trees, nah.
Right?
Is that pretty much the idea?
I would think that, you know, maybe these guys will offset some of these type of things that have existed in nature for tens of thousands, if not thousands of years, with maybe some things that have been successful in terms of improving oxygen rates or carbon reduction or things like that.
You know trees being one of them and actually an agricultural program would be another one to not only assure food security around the world help feed the starving but also to put people back to work or to work after they pretty much shut down every mom-and-pop business.
Now, I know this is going to be probably perceived as some sort of communal type of agrarian commune type of situation.
And maybe it is or maybe it could be.
But I think that really the people need to get together in their own way somehow, void of this big money interest and start preparing for what is going to be coming.
And that is going to be supply side disruptions, mass starvations, things like this, debt, debt based evictions and going after your money and things like this.
outrageous taxes, you know, You see what they're doing just with freezing people's money and sanctions and things like this.
I think it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
this overreaching deep state is going to probably push it as far as humanity will let it push until it pushes back.
And I think at some point in time, the pushback is going to come hard and it's going to be too hard for them to deal with.
And I think it's coming pretty soon.
I think it's going to probably be dependent on the next few weeks and what goes on with these banks and people's money and stuff like that could probably be a catalyst for this type of situation.
And, you know, I also want to say that, that as far as the people that they're mobilizing with many of these agendas, their hypocrisy and futility, is seemingly boundless.
You know, they have been victims of emotional inversions and they themselves put themselves to their own self-censorship or their own lack of reproduction in this world.
You know and really limit themselves in terms of you know raising a family in a doomed situation.
So psychologically it puts people in a disposition where they are probably not grown to reproduce and carry on large numbers of families and things like this.
So it is a method of depopulation subconsciously or consciously.
They've done a lot of studies on this and they know better than to say it's nothing or a one-off situation.
This is part of, I think, the whole political scenario that we faced, and the economic scenario we faced in the last, you know, few decades.
The misery index being ramped up in such a way, and it's also a big reason why we're having health issues as well.
These type of stress factors, in addition to all the soft kills they've got on us, it really, it adds up after a while.
A lot of people have a hard time sticking with it and fighting through it, and they know that too.
It's a war of attrition.
So, at this point in time, we are now being departmentalized by our own confusions and certainties, and I really hope this will not become a situation where we are perfect marks for these people that really thrive on these type of situations.
I think you got it exactly right.
Starvation is not a fun way to die, by the way, and it is going to occur on a massive scale, I have no serious doubt.
Meanwhile, surprise, surprise!
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a former member of the Raytheon Board of Directors, has awarded over $30 billion in contracts to Raytheon since its confirmation.
How about that?
The Pentagon has awarded the Novitiate Raytheon the second largest weapon maker in the world, over $30 billion in contracts, since Secretary of State Lloyd Austin III's confirmation on January 22nd of 2021.
Austin was on Raytheon's board of directors prior to confirmation.
Gee, aren't we surprised?
Austin Dime made a commitment to resign from Raytheon board and recuse himself from all matters Raytheon for more years and agreed to divest from his financial holdings amounting to between a half a million one point seven in stock.
These initiatives, however, ...have not prohibited him from using his position to bolster Raytheon's fortune or other defense contractors on whose board he has sat, such as Booz Allen Hamilton, the world's most profitable side organization, according to Bloomberg News, in Pine Island Capital, a private equity firm that invests in military.
At Austin's nomination, Elizabeth Warren questioned him about his ties to Raytheon, whose headquarters are based in Warren's home district in Waltham, Massachusetts.
A year earlier, she had proposed legal changes and strengthened ethics at the DoD by blocking the revolving door between the Pentagon and giant defense contractors like Raytheon, Including by prohibiting big defense contractors from hiring former Pentagon officials for four years after they leave government.
Warren paradoxically, however, voted to confirm Austin's appointment as DOD secretary, even though he embodies the danger of the revolving door.
Mark Pocan, who, by the way, is my representative in Washington, who, as Barbara Lee wrote a letter in November of 2020 to Biden requesting he nominate a Secretary of Defense with no previous ties to weapon manufacturers, stated American national security should not be defined by the bottom lines of Boeing, General Dynamics, and Raytheon.
With men like Austin at the helm, however, That's very clearly exactly what's going on.
Reporting revenues of more than $67 billion in 2022, up from $64 in 2021 and $56 in 2020, Raytheon began corporate lives in 1922 as the American appliance company.
It developed refrigerators and radio parts in the United States.
It made advances in vacuum tube technology and related electronics.
It was drawn into military contracting during World War II, manufacturing Megatron tubes for use in radar systems.
One of Raytheon's founders, Vannevar Bush, became president of MIT, chairman of the U.S.
Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II, which initiated the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb.
Today, Raytheon is best known for making the Patriot and Tomahawk missiles.
It's also been a pioneer in surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles and precision weapons, including guided missiles and laser-guided bombs, and manufactures air-launched nuclear missiles, part of the U.S.
Nuclear Triad.
Aston's personal history and connection to the military and Raytheon mark him as a fitting Pentagon chief in an era of destructive militarism and creeping fascism in the United States.
When civilians no longer control the key institutions of government and war industry ensures a perpetuation of endless wars from which they make obscene profits, the political system can no longer be defined as a democracy.
Carl, your thoughts?
That's the revolving door of our military, industrial, and congressional complex.
And that was the original phrase that Ike had in his 1961 State of the Union speech, but he took out congressional at the last moment.
Senator Warren, All she's got is virtue signaling.
Now, when I first found out about her as a Harvard economics professor, I don't even remember the topics that she was talking about, but I liked her at the time.
But since she has been in the Senate, she's just there as controlled opposition, and she is now owned by the opponents, and she'll just come out, and she gives a pretense as if we have checks and balances to the system.
But that's all that her purpose is for, is just to pretend.
Now, that photo of Joe Biden with General Austin, that was interesting, and if people want to take a look back at that picture, they'll be able to recognize that that was the original Joe Biden.
You can see he has a much broader forehead, different facial structure, and that was from a few years ago when the actual Joe was still around.
Very nice, Carl.
Chris?
Okay, cool.
I thought it was on mute.
Yeah, you know, I'm sitting here looking at the math behind everything that I'm adding up in the last few decades.
And I'll tell you what I've seen is a revolving door of the top brass between government and private sector entities, a very thin incestuous line between the two.
These are the guys that put us in debt and charge us top dollar and put us in death and constant turmoil situations.
They are often perfect alibis for one and each other.
One lies, the other swears to it, basically.
And this is the same with regulatory agencies as well.
There's a very devious nature of rampant corruption, whether it was intentional or even accidental as a byproduct that is presenting itself.
And then both are equally devastating either possibility, I should say.
So I'm starting to think about how this oligarchy has used this type of real politic, this national, nation-state theater, and labor forces, and departmentalization to really use, I guess, us to compete against each other in terms of national military complexes and banking.
It's a race for these so-called prizes that these guys hold the intellectual property and patent rights to and make the profit from, whether they are atomic bombs or smartphones or drones or AI or Boston Dynamic robotic armies.
And I guess when you start to add up all these things and see what they're working towards and where the real money is going and investing in and stuff like that, It doesn't seem like it's a very equitable and fair situation for humanity, whether it's their political offerings, their economic offerings, their social offerings, things like this.
So when you add this all up, put it together, you pretty much find yourself somewhere at one of the Terminator movies, which has now become a pretty much a documentary.
I will say that I don't think anybody can singularly prep their way out of this and one by one they will pick us all apart and probably equip these robot armies with metal detectors and things of the nature.
So, you know, people are going to really have to realize this is a crucial part of human history right here and the people that are charged with responsibility for these type of offerings I've certainly not shown such in the past, and I doubt they're going to in the future.
So it's probably best to catch this before it gets too far out of hand, and at some point in time, it's going to turn into what it seems to be becoming.
Very, very nice.
Very nice.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.
Send fan mail, ObrorCon to live, needtoknowatgmail.com.
Live, needtoknowatgmail.com.
A couple comments.
Oh, tomorrow is Einstein's birthday, and there's scheduled a debate about 9-11 between Dr. Michael Shermer and myself.
Shermer earned his Ph.D.
in the History of Science from Claremont.
I earned my Ph.D.
in the Philosophy of Science from Indiana.
He has a bachelor's assigned from Pepperdine.
I have a bachelor of arts from Princeton.
He founded Skeptic Magazine.
I founded Scholars for 9-11 Truth.
At the time of publication, he had 6,199 citations for an Hirsch index of 29.
citations for a Hirsch index at 29.
I had 4,202 for a Hirsch index at 34.
The Hirsch index indicates the number of articles you have with that many citations per article.
So Hirsch 29 means he has at least 29 articles that have 29 citations apiece.
My 34, 34 articles with at least 34 citations apiece.
The debate will be Monday.
We'll get it out there.
And about the question being whether Michael Shermer is going to show up.
We're gonna find a way of dealing with it one way or the other.
Meanwhile...
We want to go to our final thoughts.
Carl, yours.
Well, I'm excited about Michael Schirmer, Mr. Skeptic himself.
Surely he's going to accept to set the record straight.
He wouldn't dodge a debate.
He's not.
He can't.
He won't.
My favorite quote to demonstrate this is by MIT economist Simon Johnson, who was the chief economist at the World Bank or one of the sister banks, one of those banks, the IMF.
He was the chief economist at the IMF, and he wrote a bestseller book describing our banking system as fraud and banana republic.
Those are his words.
And in an interview that he gave, he said that he issues these challenges to debate the heads of the big banks, these too big to fail banksters.
And he said that they never accept any invitation, no university professor, nobody.
We'll debate them and he said that they won't debate because they can't debate and they can't debate because they don't have any facts.
All the facts are on our side.
All they have are narratives without facts and then a criminally complicit corporate media in order to cover up their lies and that they're just telling a story without those facts.
Now, my final thoughts is that things could get very messy even this week, even as we speak.
with financial collapse or threats of financial collapse and there's going to be uh the normies are going to be shocked and scared because one of the narratives that are going to be rolled out and is being rolled out i think it was in france where they uh the government gave the news to the citizens oh yeah your pensions ah they're gone now they're there and The pensions, we're told, are funded by the pensioners depositing money.
The money gets put out of their paycheck and then that's invested and then that pays for the retirees.
That's a big lie.
Part of what I have done through my research and other colleagues is dug into the CAFRs, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
And when I did so 10 years ago, and I looked back for 10 years, the Taxpayers.
We pay 95% of the retirees' monies.
They're only getting 5% of what they get from the retirement fund.
So this is just another lie.
This is like a gangster taking money from you and saying, oh yeah, we're giving it to charity, the orphanage.
When they're only given a nickel out of every dollar they steal for that.
In California, they have had, when I looked up this data, a $600 billion investment fund to pay for those retirees.
$600 billion!
The net income generated by that $600 billion to pay for the retirees, one.
$1 billion.
They invest $600?
One batch.
So, uh, it may get ugly, the lies are many, and it is just on paper.
If their system fails through fraud, that is good.
And again, I'll put the, uh, the article that, uh, and I was prompted from an article from my friend and colleague Ellen Brown in a conversation that I was listening to just last night with some of the rebels talking about the financial situation and the moves by the Fed and the status of the banks.
So no matter how scary it gets, nothing is harmed with our real assets.
The real assets are human labor and natural resources, and all of those are safe.
We have superior mechanics ready to roll out.
It is just a scare event.
If we can get the truth, we'll be okay.
If we're herded into chaos, then it can be worse than you can imagine.
Chris, your final thoughts.
Chris Yeah, I've given my thoughts many times about the value of human labor and its importance economically, and it's now the ultimate transition in it being outsourced and rendered obsolete by automation and robotics and things like this.
So I think that's maybe a new dynamic that is being introduced to the classical economic model that is maybe being overlooked by some.
Not saying they are in this instance, I'm just saying that my own case, I've done that, and I think that maybe people need to be conscious of this factor.
Another thing I'd like to say is, Carl, you were talking about the sleepwalkers, their pensions and their 401ks and these index funds, they are mostly Under management of this group and some of them, they are secondary creditors to these actual assets and to this capital.
So you're seeing this group, this oligarchy use this capital in such a way to create these offerings that have brought us nothing but doom.
You know, if you look at like what BlackRock is doing and some of the stuff and many of these other companies that I could name on and on, they're using big money to run out mom and pop shops and to run people out of property ownerships, outbidding citizens by Hundreds of thousands of dollars on some homes, getting easy financing or zero interest rate financing from the Federal Reserves and these banking cults.
The guys that have used this Keynesian clout to take over the entire world's resources.
So that's the other thing in this factor, too, that is of economic importance.
And, you know, Carl, you brought up a point about derivatives.
That is phenomenal.
I think that many people need to focus more on this.
Like I said, the ratio between real and paper contracts is insane.
This needs to be brought to some sense of reality if they're going to ever have some basis in economic equity and reality in itself.
So I have to say that since their inception, derivatives were always too big to fail.
And until they do so, they will be constantly papered over with things like QE or CFTC obfuscation of COTs, like I talked about earlier, manipulation, price fixing, future contracts, bot blitzing and dumping.
You know, I guess I continuation of CO2 trading reports, the QE, the repo and overnight lending credit default swaps, like I mentioned earlier.
You know, all these things and factoring in with negative interest rates for a decade, these insider loans and opportunities have been seized by this group.
And now they're liquidating that what has no value. - I think that really you're going to see a lot of this stuff being unloaded onto the common man and the poor folks that had nothing to do with this and they're going to be victimized by this.
It is literally a game of economic musical chairs, and the music only stops when the common citizens are duped into investing into these phantom assets, and then these bubbles are popped.
And once the insiders have drained all the resources that have kept these Ponzi floating, they pretty much are left in a devastating situation.
I think that the crypto fad is a perfect way for these financial institutions to create and control these vaporware instruments of asset and debt classifications for the sake of population control.
I think that this is something that needs to be called out, and I think that it really has been, and I think that's why they're seeing a lot of these failures occurring in a lot of these economic institutions.
This was going to be their way out, their golden ticket, their escape hatch, and I think that it got drilled.
And I'm glad it did.
You know, humanity caught up, it got sick of being fooled, so good on us.
We can call it a small victory, but it's one nonetheless.
And I think that, you know, crypto can be controlled and manipulated by a few insiders who control like 90% of the market cap and then thus the valuations.
So as long as these insiders don't ever liquidate at the same time and have otter amongst thieves, there's an appearance of clout and an eminence front in terms of their perceived overvaluations.
I think that these are all ways that they have gone to work on humanity and have been duping us.
And I think it's, you know, one of the many things like truck wages, company script, digital tally sticks, junk bonds, or any other historic economic population control mechanisms in the past.
They all dwindle in comparison to this, especially given the amount of duplicity and overwhelming manipulation and control.
It's basically I'm trying to perfect the debt slavery trade in this technocratic feudalism.
So yeah, I think really this needs to be dealt with swiftly, severely and not overlooked either.
So I just wanted to add that on my final thoughts and I won't take up too much more of your time.
Well, it was all sensational.
Carl, Chris, you guys were just brilliant today.
I very rarely make this kind of observation, but this is one worth watching twice.
I'm not going to seek to add more.
I thought they did a sensational job of covering it.
Let me simply emphasize, spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends, the people you love and care about.
We do not know how much time we have left, and as Chris rejoined us for the final moment, I just reiterate, it was about as good as it gets here with Chris and Carl today.
