Truth vs. NEW$ 1 (5 May 2025)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Three, two, one.
And welcome, folks, to Truth vs.
News Incorporated.
In fact, this is May 5th, 2025.
Cinco de Mayo.
Big, one-of-a-kind day here to celebrate all kinds of things.
And hopefully we're going to celebrate the truth today on Truth vs.
News with Jim Petter, who is the most leading man of the...
An author of famous books like America Nuked on 9 /11 and JFK and things like this.
Boy, you've got to have these books in your arsenal to understand what's really happening in the world, plus about 40 other books that Jim has authored, and he's just a dynamo going strong here.
And we have Ryan Davidson out of Texas, who is this.
Yes, he is.
A private eye.
And he is really digging in deep into subjects, the details that you need to know.
And we have Joachim, who's visiting us from Bali, where he is inhabiting the sunshine down there and enjoying the world.
And he's a foremost writer and researcher.
So we are so blessed here on Cinco de Mayo, and we're going to get started with a hot show today.
How about putting president?
Trump in charge of world affairs with a real picture of him.
There's so much going on.
He proposes the world's largest military budget, strikes a deal to support Ukraine for minerals, pulls out a peace tax with Russia, and threatens Iran with the war.
That's the guy who is going to end all these stupid wars.
Doesn't seem to matter who you pick as president.
Even the guy who claims he's going to be all about stopping wars, all you get is more.
Today, Trump presented the largest military budget in history, $1.32 trillion.
It wasn't long ago that amount was greater than the entire national budget.
At the same time, he revealed his interest in parlaying between Russia and Ukraine was all about energy and mineral rights.
He signed a deal to split halves of Ukraine's mineral rights between U.S. and Kyiv in return for U.S. protection.
Because even if Ukraine ever becomes so part of NATO, as long as the U.S. has a huge national interest exploiting mineral rights there, it'll be very much present in Ukraine.
That means blowing up Ukraine or it's blowing up U.S. ops, putting Russia into a war confrontation with the United States.
This combination of Ukraine deal and gargantuan budget mean taxpayers on the hook.
To protect mineral rights of U.S. companies, they'll be working the dirt in Ukraine.
Could be good for them, but not likely for the taxpayers.
The proposed budget will also pile an annual new mountain of debt on top of our existing mountain of debt, but it serves up a great feeding frenzy for the military-industrial-congressional complex.
It will, as Gregory Manorino says, transfer Trillions in future wealth from the hands of the people to the hands of the central banks and global contractors.
This is not national security.
It's national surrender.
As could be expected, Russia expressed displeasure.
Trump has finally pressured the Kiev regime to pay for U.S. with mineral treasures, said Deputy Chairman Dmitry Mendev.
Now the country...
As about to disappear, we'll have to use its national wealth to pay for military supplies.
The deal will keep us engaged, but now specifically for mineral rights and territorial advantage, becoming all the more explicitly imperial, more imperial than Obama, when he was accused of trying to take Ukraine deeper into the U.S. orbit and away from Russia.
This is about stacking up pieces on the risk board game of global empire.
President Trump-U.S.-Ukraine mineral deals a master's stroke, said Joe Wilson of South Carolina.
Ukraine is now a permanent partner to the U.S. Both sides will benefit greatly.
That could be.
I've never stood against helping Ukraine defend itself, but stepping physically into the middle of the fray really...
does change a game.
I never believed Putin would risk total annihilation by starting a nuclear war when it's flabbing his silo doors, and he hasn't.
But this deal hugely explains the U.S. footprint of inputs in Ukraine.
Putin cannot miss seeing all of Trump's imperial vision to expand U.S. hegemony, even as his tariffs take down the dollar conveniently.
Just as he's doing all he can to publish his own personal branded cryptocurrency.
The irony here is stunning for all who voted for Trump because they hoped he'd end the war and because they hated the way the U.S. under Obama tried to pull Ukraine into tighter ties with financial assistance of a coup.
As of today, they find themselves having voted for a guy pulling Ukraine into far tighter ties with the U.S. than Obama ever did.
That goes far beyond a coup, throwing out the newly elected Ukrainian president who had already been thrown out by the Ukrainian court in the previous election for having run a fraudulent one.
Putin's Ukraine puppet then hired Trump's notorious Paul Benefit to cleanse the image of the Putin oligarch and return him for a successful second attempt, which starts the maiden rebellion which fed into the coup the U.S. sponsored.
So, in funding a coup, That started as a grassroots medallion against a grand-written oligarch.
It was bad when Obama did it because the U.S. interfered in an election outcome.
And I spoke out against that at the time when it happened, potentially causing all kinds of future troubles.
Funding an actual war to draw Ukraine closer to the U.S. just for the sake of gaining middle rights is worse on steroids.
Oh, the irony.
As for the end of the war, It even appears the sanctions against Russia have been completed along this first phase.
Yes, officials have finalized new economic sanctions against Russia to intensify pressure on Moscow to embrace Trump's efforts at the end of war.
Earlier, the U.S. pulled out of mediating peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
All of this transpired today.
Totally changing the title of the Ukrainian battlefield.
It repositioned U.S. to become much more tight with Ukraine under a transactional agreement for natural resources.
Presumably.
If Russia were to step forward with some serious peace idea, Trump would listen.
We'll just have to wait and see.
It's a clear and direct bet that U.S. will now consider.
Moving from attacking the Houthis to attacking Iran directly.
Here's Secretary of Defense Hegseth.
We see your lethal support to the Houthis.
We know exactly what you're doing.
You know very well what the U.S. military is capable of.
You were warned.
You will pay the consequence at the time and place of our choosing.
Meanwhile, Trump declares he wants total dismantling of Iran's nuclear program.
Not a chance.
Trump sent an interview aired Sunday.
He told dismantlement of Iran's civilian nuclear program, a non-starter for Tehran.
Told dismantlement, yes, that's all I would accept, Trump said.
He suggested he might be open to allowing Iran to maintain a civilian nuclear program to produce energy, which is all they've ever had.
It seems as though he doesn't even know the score.
But sounded skeptical of the idea.
There's a new theory going out there.
Iran would be allowed to have civilian, meaning to make electricity.
But I say, they have so much.
Oh, what do they need that for?
Trump was asked about Marco Rubio's suggestion Iran could maintain a civilian nuclear program.
People are talking about that.
This is something that's pretty new in the dialogue.
New in the dialogue?
My inclination is to say, what do you need that for?
You have a lot of oil.
Asked if he would only accept full dismantlement, the president said he would be open to hearing about Iran maintaining a civilian nuclear program, but added it could lead up to military.
Does he not understand this is all that Iran has ever had or ever wanted to have?
Rubio's idea of an Iranian civil nuclear program would involve prohibiting their ability to enrich their own uranium in relying on imported.
Another condition Iran has rejected.
Rubio, in arguing, falsely claimed there are no non-nuclear arm sites with civilian nuclear programs that enrich uranium, but there is Iran.
Several non-nuclear countries are signatories to the non-proliferation programs that have enrichment programs, including Japan, Brazil, Germany.
As a founding signatory to the NPT nuclear proliferation treaty, Iran has every right.
To process the full nuclear fuel cycle, said Iranian foreign minister.
Moreover, there are several NBT members who enrich uranium, but wholly rejecting nuclear weapons, just as do they.
He added, Maxwell's position in incendiary rhetoric achieved nothing except eroding chances of success.
His comments came after Rubio again demanded Ren walk away from uranium enrichment.
Just bizarre, Joaquin.
What a start.
Nothing new is here.
It's history repeating itself over and over again.
Every presidential candidate makes all these promises that all sound good to the voters.
They get elected, and then they never follow through.
Especially Trump on promises.
And the dynamic here is the controllers of this world through money changers, the banking structure, make sure that U.S., the West, always has an enemy, which is the East.
So here we go again.
We confront.
We are belligerently aggressive.
Trying to undermine the security, stability of Eastern nations.
That's been the agenda since the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War.
That never stopped.
So here we are again, confronting, belligerently poking the bear.
And it's going to be...
Win for the military-industrial complex.
They always win whenever America does their foreign policy to try and undermine the stability of other nations that have the right to exist and have the right to be stable.
But hey, the controllers of this world are not about peace.
They're not about finding a way of solutions that are other than through the military means.
That's how they keep increasing their power.
And so here we go.
The guy that said that he's going to be the peace president, again, is showing his true colors, that he's just a pawn in the military-industrial complex, money-changer, controller site that is going to commence World War III.
That's where we're headed.
Well, he looks at me, doesn't even know that that's all Iran ever had was a peaceful nuclear energy program.
I'm just dumbfounded.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, it turns out that, remember Mike Walls, the guy that added, he was the guy that put together the signal chat program, or signal chat.
He's the guy that added the guy to the unclassified signal chat, right?
Turns out he's been working with the Israelis the entire time, and he's been being pressured by the Israelis to help make sure that Trump gets caught into a position where he's got to get into war with Iran.
So it appears that that was an underhanded backdoor job that was all a setup all along.
Now I'm not letting Trump off the hook on any of this, because I think what Joaquin said is appropriate.
It's just...
It's just like we've all seen this movie before.
Big promises, big hopes.
Think about all the people that voted for Barack Obama.
Big promises, big hopes, hope and change, all this.
And then what did we get?
We got more and more of the same and more and more of the same.
Well, this time around with Trump, it's so bad that he seems to be changing directions almost overnight.
I mean, it wasn't a week ago or two weeks ago that I was...
I thought it appeared that he was doing a good job cozying up to Putin and he was going to do a great job sort of negotiating an end to this thing.
And now he proposes a trillion dollars of new spending, which is a 13% increase over last year's military budget.
And so we've got a bloated defense budget.
Now it's instead of mining for minerals here at home.
In all the places that North America provides, we're going to send all this money over to Ukraine to be able to mine over there and take all the things for them.
Does that sound like Iraq?
Does it sound like we're just going to go, we did all this whole thing to get oil on false pretenses all along?
It appears that NATO is just simply pushing us around.
Telling us what to do and the Western powers aren't allowing us to break loose.
It's almost like Trump has lost something just in the last two weeks.
I think maybe what he's losing is political support because of his buddy-buddy system with the Israelis.
I think maybe he's losing support because he cannot break through these thresholds, these bureaucratic walls inside the...
The government, and he's unable to get anything accomplished.
But on the other hand, you've got to ask yourself, is the man a U.S. patriot?
And of course it appears that he is, but all of his actions are in the best interest of Israel.
So what's going on here?
Do we have an undercover president?
Another Manchurian candidate?
Pied Piper to bring in the new world order?
How far advanced is this cancer?
Instead of make America great again, it's make Israel the greatest thing that ever happened to the world.
Yeah, I'm worried.
I got a friend just before the show calls that he thinks actually Trump may have lost his mind.
China unveils its military megaproject.
Satellite images reveal construction of largest military hub on Earth spanning over a thousand acres.
As satellite images reveal China's ambitious construction of the world's largest underground military command center near Beijing, Global tensions escalate, prompting experts to scrutinize the implications of this unprecedented development for international security dynamics.
Satellite images reveal China's construction of the world's largest underground military command center.
This development highlights their strategic ambition to rival the U.S. and reshape the global balance of power.
It incorporates advanced technological sophistication, reflects China's long-term military vision.
Regional reactions vary.
Countries reassessing their security strategy amid concern over potential geopolitical tensions.
In the fast-paced world of global geopolitics, the unveiling of China's monumental military project has captured worldwide attention.
Satellite imagery has exposed the construction of a massive underground command center, signaling China's strategic ambition and determination to keep with the U.S. on the global stage.
The revelation has sparked intrigue and concern as tensions rise in Asia.
Understanding the implications is crucial for both regional and international security ambitions.
China's latest undertaking.
is a testament to its grand military vision, reminiscent of Cold War-era military strategies.
Since the 1980s, China has been developing specialized teams focused on constructing underground shelters to withstand the most formidable bombs.
That approach has roots in the Cold War, armed by an arms race, for a nation like the Soviet Union and Germany, Invested heavily in bunkers and subterranean bases.
China today is pushing this concept to unprecedented levels.
The scale of the project is immense.
With geopolitical tensions on the rise, the development underscores China's commitment to bolstering its defense infrastructure and the evolving nature of military strategies in the 21st century.
Where technological advancements and strategic positioning play a critical role in national security.
The construction has far-reaching implications.
As China continues to expand its military capabilities, neighboring countries and global powers are reassessing their own strategies.
It's not just about military might, but it's shifted the balance of power in Asia and beyond.
The strategic significance of this project cannot be overstated, as it may alter the dynamics of military alliances and defense strategies worldwide.
China's actions, moreover, are likely to trigger reaction from other major powers, potentially yielding an arms race reminiscent of the Cold War, the U.S. in particular.
may feel compelled to enhance its military presence in the region to counterbalance China's growing.
This scenario raises a critical question about the future of international relations.
At the heart of China's project is a focus on technological sophistication and strategic depth.
The center is expected to incorporate advanced technology From state-of-the-art communication to cutting-edge defense mechanism, indicative of China's broader ambition to become a leading military power capable of rivaling the technological advances of U.S. and other military giants.
Strategic depth of this project also reflects China's long-term vision for its defense strategy by investing in subterranean infrastructure.
China ensures the resilience and sustainability of its military capabilities, not only protecting its asset from conventional threat, but positioning itself as a formidable force in the event of future conflicts.
Looking ahead, future prospects will depend on China's ability to manage regional relations and address the concerns of the international community.
It could redefine China's role in the global stage.
paving the way for new alliances and diplomatic engagements.
It also raises an important question about the potential for conflict and cooperation.
As China's military ambitions continue to unfold, the world watches with bated breath.
The construction is a clear indication of China's determination to assert its influence and secure its interests in an era of avid geopolitical change.
How will other nations respond to China's growing military might?
Will the development lead to increased cooperation or heightened tensions among global powers?
Meanwhile, Putin, too, dreaming of a Russian laser arsenal.
Putin has a message for the country's military-industrial complex.
Time to get serious about high-energy laser weapons.
Speaking to members of Russian Military Industrial Commission during a meeting at the Gremlin on April 23rd, he stated the country's military and defense industry must accelerate development of next-generation weapons systems to stay one step ahead of Western militaries.
Among the specifics he cited were various unmanned systems with an emphasis on drone boats.
Artificial intelligence and high-energy laser weapons capable of hitting various targets, including drones and other military equipment, aircraft, missiles, and the like, and others airborne.
We have the relevant practical knowledge, know-how, as well as manufactured products, but we must build up our efforts in these modern, high-demand and promising areas.
He isn't wrong about Moscow's relevant practical know-how.
Russia had been pursuing military lasers for about as long as the U.S. The fall of the Soviet Union and resulting political and economic chaos yielded deep defense spending cuts, kneecapping the Russian military ability to develop advanced weapons.
This affected high-energy laser efforts like the Shovela laser tank, which Moscow abandoned despite Passing state tests and receiving a green light for widespread adoption in 1992.
The major challenge was simply a matter of money at the time.
Laser weapons were too inefficient and costly to build and maintain on their then-skeletal defense budget.
The modernization Putin initiated in 2008, however, resulted in renewed interest in laser weapons.
The Berev A60 laser plane resumed testing in 2012, technical lessons forming the basis for airborne laser development.
By December 2014, a high-ranking official said the military was actually pursuing new laser systems.
In 2016, Ministry of Defense officials announced they had begun fielding.
Fielding.
The first combat laser weapons to the force.
The technology existed before, but now is a time when they're used in practice, said the then-deputy defense minister at the time.
These high-tech weapons will largely determine the image of the Russian army under the new state-armed program before 2025, which is now upon us.
In recent years, Russia's laser ambition is a tangible reality.
In March 2018, Putin revealed a new laser weapon dubbed Persivet, a trailer-mounted system designed for air defense and anti-satellite warfare.
Since 2017, purportedly named after a legendary 14th-century Russian Orthodox warrior monk, the system entered experimental combat duty in December 2018 and has been providing cover for mobile missile systems since 2019.
We have achieved significant progress in laser weapons.
It is not just a concept or plan anymore, not even in early production.
Since last year, our troops have been armed with laser weapons.
In May 2022, Borisoffert claimed the Kremlin had deployed not just a Persevert, but a new laser weapon called Zadira to Ukraine to defend Russian forces against incoming drones.
If most of it blinds, then this new generation leads to the physical destruction of the target.
Thermal destruction.
They burn up.
Wow!
Given the Kremlin's habit of taking up next-generation weapons that fail to materialize on a battlefield, I'm not so sure about that.
It's understandable why the threats are not taken seriously by Western observers.
Zolansky compared Putin and...
Borisov laser-talked a Nazi-style wonderwolf propaganda, where Hitler promised a wonder weapon capable of bringing World War II to a swift end.
Look no further.
And the Russian defense industry's latest counter-drone blazer rifle.
But don't count the Russian military-industrial complex out just yet.
As high-energy laser technology becomes more viable, Moscow's decades of...
Directed energy research could give it an edge in the transition from laboratory to battlefield.
Despite past failure and exaggerated claims, the Russian military now appears closer than ever to fielding real operational laser systems.
Still, the real question is whether Russia can build them, or whether the matter defense industry can scale and sustain the moving economic sanctioned battlefield losses in a grinding war in Ukraine.
And while Putin and Messi do his weapon design may sound visionary, it carries a familiar tone: "Deliver the future or else." I think that was unusually pessimistic, propagandistic.
Joaquin, your thoughts?
The U.S. has a $1.32 trillion military budget, by far the most money in the world by any country on killing other people.
The United States has been at war 93% of the time.
It's the most killing nation on Earth.
What are the, quote, enemies of the United States supposed to do?
Of course, they're developing their military capabilities as well.
You know, these reports that you were reading, yeah, they are.
They're very jingoistic.
You know, like, let's get ready for war against these guys because they're building all these weapons, so we have to keep up with that.
You know, it's just the same old, same old, to keep war, military, industrial complex, all of that going, because who's in control?
Who has the money?
The bankers!
And they are funding war.
They make profit on war.
That's all they've done for over, what, 200-something years through the Rothschild Central Banking System.
To me, it's all just more of the same.
Cold War.
Get ready for World War III.
And that's the message they're putting out.
It's called conditioning the minds of all the people to expect that there's going to be major war.
Billions will die.
I mean, it's just sending all these subliminal messages that aren't really all that subliminal to expect to die.
I mean, that's how I read all this.
It's just, you know, arms race, arms race, arms race.
How long has this been going on?
Forever.
In our whole lifetime.
It doesn't stop.
And it won't stop until what?
The human population is extinct?
Because that's where it's headed.
Brian?
Well, like I said in the last segment, Trump just increased the budget to over a trillion dollars for the United States military.
That's a 13% increase right there.
So, yes, we've made a lot of enemies over the years.
What we don't do is any diplomatic sort of approaches to solving problems anymore.
It seems that it's always one side or the other side, and it's always the media that's going to get in the way and cause problem after problem after problem in terms of stoking the fears.
So right now, it looks like they're setting up the next sort of chess piece on the global playlist as China, Iran, Russia.
North Korea as if they're the big powers that need to go down.
Well, what do they all have in common?
They're all able to work together to put together some sort of military industrial complex.
I don't believe any of the teaching, any of what...
China's putting out and what they're paying for in terms of propaganda related to their vast military expertise.
There's a reason that they call it the paper tiger.
They can't even build concrete structures anymore because the contractors have declined so badly and the construction techniques are so bad.
Bridges go away at floods.
Their infrastructure can't control the situation.
They use nothing but propaganda to control I don't think they have much to offer at all in terms of production capability or fighting capability.
I think everything's overblown, overrated, overhyped, and over...
Overplayed in terms of what they can possibly deliver.
As far as I can tell, they're on the brink of internal civil war and total disaster and coming apart at the seams from the inside.
Yet, we expect that these guys are all of a sudden going to rise up as a great military power.
The same people that have been beating the war drums about taking down Taiwan ever since Hong Kong returned to Chinese control in 1997.
They've been incapable of doing anything.
They're a paper tiger.
I would consider them completely weak.
I think internally they're going to come apart at the seams.
And I don't think America even has to do anything with Trump's tariffs and other things to shut them down.
I think they're just going to come apart at the seams because that's how they were built.
Remember what they're built on.
A superclass.
A superclass and slaves.
How long can that last in today's technological age before that comes apart?
At the seams from the inside out.
At least Russia's got a religious, orthodox foundation underneath it.
Iran has some level of control in terms of the way that they manage their citizenry.
But right now, the mad dog in the room is Israel.
And another thing about China, Russia, Iran, our spies are not and cannot possibly be as effective as we had hoped they would be.
So all we have to lean on is our sort of Boston Dynamics, Raytheon, Boeing apparatus that supposedly is producing all these new weapons that are going to be able to rule the world.
And while we've seen some signals that they do exist, why then are all these wars that we're fighting and funding all being done with bullets and spears as far as technologically?
That's my take on it.
It's not adding up to me.
I think Joaquin's right.
There's not as much of a threat as everybody thinks, but the globalists sure want us to think that way.
Park traffic down 33%.
Last week...
We'll drop to zero from China within 10 days.
Only five to seven weeks' inventory in warehouses as a consequence of the tariffs imposed especially on China.
This is Hal Turner.
Gene Sorok, executive director of the Port of L.A., appeared on Bloomberg Business, revealed the ongoing trade war with China has led to a 33 percent drop in ocean container ships entering the port last week.
That drop will rise to about 80% this coming week and after that.
Warehouses in the U.S. will have only five to seven weeks inventory.
Then it's gone.
The trade war is approaching a very clear moment where every American is going to see it and feel it.
This trade war made necessary because so many foreign countries have added tariffs and restrictions.
The U.S. goods began on April 10th, and the very real effects are just now beginning to show through a plunge in arriving ocean container freight.
By the end of the coming week, by Saturday, May 10th, alarm bells are going to start sounding because there won't be many more incoming freight coming to L.A. from China a week after that, May 17th.
No more trucks in ocean-china freight arriving in Chicago.
A plummet in Chinese freight arriving in Houston a week after that, May 24th.
No more China-ocean freight arriving in New York City.
From May 24th, all the warehouses and logistics centers and distribution centers throughout the entire U.S. will have only five to seven weeks of inventory.
So five weeks from May 24th is June 28th.
By June 28th, Americans will begin to see empty spaces on store shelves.
It'll begin on the West Coast and rapidly move eastward.
Meanwhile, the National Retail Federation and analysts at J.P. Morgan are reporting overall imports down 20% China imports.
Part of it down 75 to 80%.
And for those in denial who refuse to acknowledge reality until it comes and pokes you in the nose, because you don't want to believe it, even if all today's troubles were halted, today it would take another 30 days before goods manufactured in China would even begin arriving in L.A. 40 days to Houston, 55 to New York.
Now you know the music is slowing and is going to stop.
What to do about it to survive?
Your vehicles.
If you've been putting off repairs because you can't get a couple months out of it, battery breaks, shock absorbers, get that vehicle fixed right now while there's still replacement parts available.
Once the shipment stops, spare parts stop.
Medicine.
Almost 80% of pharmaceutical medications are made or sourced in China.
Some medicine you have to take every day to live, like insulin, thyroid replacement hormone, breathing medications.
You better go out and get a reserve supply to tie you over for a few months.
Pay out of pocket if you must, but get it through your home.
The top priority should be it's a Appliance is an essential item like water heater and furnace, heat pump, maybe for folks, the air conditioning.
If any need to be replaced, get it done.
There'll be some inventory.
Once it's gone, doesn't matter how much money you have, there won't be any to be purchased.
If you've been putting off replacing your microwave, refrigerator, stove oven, dishwasher, don't put it off.
Get them replaced while there's still some in inventory.
Once it's gone, doesn't matter how much money you have, there won't be any to buy.
How about your bedding?
Some admitting to get rid of a lumpy old mattress or broken box spring, just never get around to it.
Get them replaced where there's still some inventory.
Sheet, blanket, pillowcases, pretty much all made in China.
Once the inventory's gone, there won't be any more.
Bath house, washcloths, same thing.
Available to buy.
Personal.
Clothes.
Still working with holes in socks.
Underwear.
Seen better days.
Ratty jeans.
Most clothing made in China.
Shoes.
I love my sneakers.
Wear them every day.
Tips of the soles are on.
Glued heels working through, but I still use them.
Time to get new tools.
Most have battery operated.
God's wear batteries.
Most made in China.
Better get some blades.
Last time you had replacement games for your sawzaw, your circular, your jigsaw, your hacksaw.
Is your wood saw still good?
Get a replacement while you can.
Drills, hammer, sledge, lawn care.
How many still use a lawnmower we know needs a tune, huh?
How about that weed whacker, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, razor blades?
Guys, most razor blades...
Shook, Gillette, or made in China.
Get replacements or get ready to grow a beard.
Closing.
See, there are some of the things a few of us even think about that we actually need to do something.
Oh, I forgot to get that fixed.
What you see was a list from inside my head, Hal Turner.
As a homeowner, husband, father.
Depending on lifestyle, play more to add to the list.
There's an old adage.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
I'm leading you to what I think you should attend to, but I can't make you do it.
Hopefully, I've made you think.
Just don't think too long, because shipping from China has stopped, and now it's only a matter of time before we feel the effects right here in the USA.
Meanwhile, breaking.
Beijing signals fentanyl concession to restart trade talks with the USA.
Beijing ways.
Fentanyl offered the U.S. to start trade talks.
Addressing Trump team's gripes over China's role in fentanyl crisis could let both sides soften trade stance.
So what is fentanyl?
A man-made opioid use to treat severe pain that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
50 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
It interacts with receptors in the brain.
Great feeling to pain relief, relaxation, contentment, pleasure.
Well, it's safe for your doctor to give you fentanyl in a medical setting.
Some abuse it, which can lead to an overdose.
Where does it come from?
It's in a class called opioids from the opium bobby plant, while some come directly from the plant fentanyl is made in a lab using the same chemical structure.
People sell illegal fentanyl as a powder.
Dropped onto blotter paper, put in eyedroppers and navel sprays or pills that look like other prescription opioids.
It can also be diverted when a drug is prescribed by a doctor but not used directly or sold or given to others.
A sharp increase in death from illegal fentanyl began in 2005 to 2007.
Again in 2011, deaths from illegal fentanyl use of police encounters rose significantly.
The overdose rates that continue to rise because fentanyl is often mixed into or sold as other drugs because it's so strong.
It takes only a tiny dose to cause death.
What's it used for?
Your doc might prescribe fentanyl if you have severe pain due to cancer, nerve damage, serious injury, or major surgery.
Joaquin, your thoughts.
It's no accident that America gets all its drugs from China, gets all the microchips from Taiwan.
I mean, it's all been a setup.
You know, David Rockefeller back in the 70s sent his errand boy Kissinger over there to pave the way to get rid of the manufacturing industries of America that were the prominent power for a century.
And move them overseas for slave cheap labor.
And we're seeing the outcome now of all of this calculated plan to destroy America.
And who do they want in the controlled demolition?
The battering ram, Trump.
So yeah, it's all been set up.
And this has been planned out for years.
Everything that we see on a major scale has been plotted way in advance.
So, nothing new here.
I mean, whether it's the military industrial complex heading us for war, or, hey, you better stock up here and here.
It's easy for them to say, yeah, go out and do this and get this and this.
Yeah, well...
This is like a statistic for probably a couple of years ago.
60% of the American population lives from paycheck to paycheck.
You think they can go out and get all the parts ready for all the things that are needed?
Of course not.
They are living paycheck to paycheck.
And the shelves are going to be empty within a couple of weeks.
It's going to be, you know, less, less, less and empty.
So we're headed for disaster, folks.
That's where the United States has been set up.
It's controlled demolition to destroy the United States because once they get rid of the United States, they can take over with one world government.
And that's been their agenda for a hundred years.
Right.
You're right.
Yeah, there's a really good article over at State of the Nation.
That deals with President Hoover signing the substantial tariff increases in 1929, which caused the Great Depression here in America.
And of course, our fathers and grandfathers can tell us all about how bad that was.
So there was a lot that took place leading up to it, but it was President Hoover's signing of the tariff increases, according to this big research paper that was put together.
That drove the American economy into the can and caused us to not be able to find our way out.
And I've been saying this for a long time.
If you think that our survivability is rooted in our cheap Chinese goods and trips to Walmart, I think you need to reassess and re-evaluate your life in terms of what's important and what's not important.
Granted, we all need...
Oil and gas and water to run the pumps and run the electricity and to keep the fuel in the cars.
But beyond that, do we really need all the junk that we buy on Amazon day in and day out?
Break it down.
Get it simple.
Make sure that you can survive.
And just remember what's going to happen to the local cities when the power goes out.
Because the best way to crash this thing and to crash it fast is just to shut off the lights for a few days and the animals will get to it.
It won't take long for them to start busting out into the rural areas.
And then you're going to have a real fight on your hand.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with having some ammunition.
There's nothing wrong with having a proper selection of the right guns and a depth of resources in terms of munitions.
But just remember, you're human.
You're going to be judged for what you do.
And if you think that it's worth it to kill somebody, to feed your Family, then I guess you're just going to have to make that decision sooner on down the line.
I know other guys are going to be trying to do it, and so you've got to prepare yourself and make sure that we're available for it or make sure that we're available to defend ourselves against it because it's going to be an ugly day when that happens.
Now, we've been talking about a crash of this scale since the 70s.
Knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet, but if...
This research study at stateofthenation.info is correct, and it is planned, and it's being executed as we speak with these tariffs.
Yes, indeed.
You need to be prepared to defend yourself and your family.
Meanwhile, we had secret discussions about military strike on Iran behind Trump's back.
This is why he was sacked.
Note another eye, Popper.
The first thing to understand about all this, ladies and Gentiles, I mean, is contrary to the conventional wisdom that pervades much of the analyses found in the alternative media and the 9-11 truth movement.
POTUS DJT is not in his back pocket.
He's not out to start World War III in order to please his master BB, as too many experts maintain.
I'm not so sure.
If these were true, the U.S. would be at war with Iran.
Ukraine would be flush with new cash and weapons.
Israel would be given a free hand to engage in all the anti-Gentile murder and mayhem she has religiously commanded to do according to the protocols of the Torah Judaism that is her constitution.
The second thing to bear in mind is, indeed, as the news story makes clearer, And the Jews are, just as they have been for the last three thousand years, since they crawled and clawed their way out of the subterranean womb within which they were conceived and gestated, a scheming, treacherous, untrustworthy people who must be watched at every moment.
There is not a minute, not a second in the day, wherein they are not congregating and conspiring against the rest of the world in order to further their own interests.
Which, in this case, is nothing short of laying the necessary groundwork for World War III Armageddon.
Indeed, Christ said it best, saying, unfortunately, too many have forgotten when he described them.
Much of the reason why Trump dismissed National Security Advisor Waltz was due to behind-the-scene coordination with Israeli BM Netanyahu on possible military action against Iran.
Without a president's full knowledge or consent.
According to the report, citing multiple senior admin officials, tension between Walsh and Trump had been mounting for weeks.
Walsh allegedly worked closely with Netanyahu in preparing military options in advance of a February overall office meeting, a movie reportedly weighed without informing the president.
Walsh wanted to take U.S. policy in a direction Trump wasn't comfortable with, one official said.
It got back to Trump, and the president was not happy.
Trump, who has sought to avoid direct military confrontation with Iran and favored diplomacy over escalation, White House officials said, White, Walsh appeared more aligned with Netanyahu than with his own president.
Marco Rubio could work multiple roles.
If you work for the president of your country, not the leader of an author, Trump advisor is quoted as saying, comparing Wall's behavior to unauthorized diplomacy, that would have prompted dismissal and previous admins.
The controversy has reignited debate inside over the future role of the National Security Council, in a possible second term, one of the President's aide reportedly believe the NSC framework is outdated for a president who prefers to rely on loyalists in his own instincts.
Thursday.
Trump named Marco Rubio as interim national security advisor.
Despite dismissal, Walt will remain in public service and he's nominated him to be the next ambassador to the United Nations, which allows Elise Stefanik to stay in the House and help maintain the Republican control.
Another incident reportedly accelerated, namely his inclusion of a journalist in a signal messaging group discussing military coordination in Yemen, a breach of protocol that raised eyebrows in the Admin, but I don't think it was accidental.
Officials said it only hastened in already growing consensus that he no longer aligned with Trump's vision.
VP Vance tried to rehabilitate while standing, Inviting him on a marked trip to Greenland, introducing him to conservatives with more isolationist views.
The efforts, however, failed to change the internal calculus.
Walls, a retired Green Beret, known for a hockey stance on Iran and Russia, often viewed as ideologically out of step, with Trump's transactional, negotiation-focused foreign policy approach.
Rubio's interim appointment signals a shift, interrupts national security strategy, moving further away from institutional process and toward a centralized, loyalty-based model.
With a decision like this, it's him, a senior White House divisional told The Post, referring to Trump as a sole decision-maker.
Meanwhile, Waltz is an Israeli spy.
What does that make Trump?
What do spies do?
Stuff like this.
Mike Walz was dismissed because he was working too much for Israel and pushing the U.S. into a war with Iran, reported the Washington Post.
Mike Walz was dismissed due to his extensive communication with B.M. Netanyahu about military action against Iran.
Officials said that Trump had been believing he was trying to tip the scale in favor of military action, closely collaborating with the Israelis.
And I mean harsh again?
Well, consider how bad things must have been if they had to boot Walt's ass after only a hundred days.
You don't think they wanted to do that.
And for those reasons, do you?
Makes Trump look really bad.
Especially because it was apparently Susie Wiles who finally convinced him he had to dump the guy.
That was probably after cash.
Israel will be not top priority, but that was F.E.I.
Filled Wiles in on what they found out about Walsh.
My guess is Walsh's hiring of a Mossad agent to handle Israel Iran matters that the NSC was the final straw.
Bottom line?
Anyone be a fool to think the White House would have fired Walsh and Wong if there'd been any other way to handle it.
Even Ambassador nomination is the merest of a fig leaf.
The inside betting is it won't happen.
Dems are always saying so.
The White House had to do it that way because the alternative would have been to openly admit, oh yeah, we've hired him for being a spy.
We had no idea.
Don't be surprised if there are more leaks about walls.
Where does this leave Trump?
Let me say this as baldly as possible.
Trump was paid tens of millions by Israeli agents to put other Israeli agents in influential and sent a position inside the U.S. government to spy on America.
And report back to Israel.
And that's exactly what Trump did.
In my opinion, it should be child play for the deep state to show convincingly.
Miriam Adelson is an Israeli agent.
Trump knew or should have known.
Walsh was one of the agents put in place, possibly a most important one.
In technical legal terms, I'd say that made Trump an agent of a foreign power.
I'm going to bet.
Trump didn't register under Farr and doesn't plan to do so.
But this is the kind of thing that can really come back to bite you if you're not careful.
Remember, this is ultimately politics.
A lot is allowed in politics that isn't allowed at trial.
Being careful isn't part of the Trump in style, but a buck will stop with Trump if he isn't very, very careful.
And nobody will sympathize if he tries to say that every president from Bill and Hill did on pretty much the same thing.
Here's another parting bottom line.
Outsourcing American national security to Jewish nationalists or their stooges is a recipe for disaster.
If Trump hasn't learned that by now, he'll end up learning it the hard way.
Joachim.
Kabuki theater.
This is all bullshit.
Trump is owned by Israel.
He's owned by the money changers.
He's owned by the military industrial complex.
He's owned by the controllers that are heading for World War III.
He does not want to make peace with Iran, Russia, or China.
Because he has been ordered to be the...
Battering ram, bringing us to the downfall of America.
I mean, that's what all of this is about.
So to say, oh yeah, he was doing things behind Trump's back in favor of Israel.
Well, what has Ben Trump been doing in his entire political career?
The guy's a pedophile.
They already have the dirty goods on this guy.
They've been totally...
Blackmailing him for as long as he's been in politics.
So don't for one second think that this guy is on his own and just decided, no, I don't want to be that close to Israel.
They own him, you know?
It's a club and you and I ain't in it, as George Carlin says.
So, yeah, I mean, basically, this is all just theater to me, because Walt, it doesn't matter.
He's got a synagogue of Satan for a cabinet, and all his advisors, they're all totally pro-Israel.
And the blackmail system works, because every president has done what Israel wants.
So, you know, this is just Kabuki theater, in my estimation.
Brian?
Yeah, if you really want to...
Sit down and read a lot of the sort of hidden history related to Donald Trump.
I recommend the Fitzpatrick Informer has a Krook-KGB-Massad connection series of documents that were just updated with Part 8 to the documents.
Well, they're pretty well researched.
A pretty well-documented history of Trump and underage females.
And, of course, they put together a lot of the connections in terms of the cultic Jewish Kabad-Lukovich organizations and the...
Some of the connections with Epstein and the other groups.
It's worth a read, although I didn't find everything to be incredibly well documented, and it was worth a read.
Anyway, it's obvious that he's not acting in America's best interest with his actions on a daily basis.
He's got a very limited appeal in terms of what he's currently doing.
I think he's beginning to lose support.
And while there is a lot of rah-rah going on with the MAGA voters and the crowdsource type stuff, I think our listeners are going to be smart enough to be able to see through it all.
Very good.
Don, take us out.
Oh, very good.
Great hour, I guess, we had today.
A lot of news is not very good.
It looks like things are really getting tenser and tenser.
Trump is leading the charges.
Anyway, this is Cinco de Mayo, May 5th, 2025.
And this is Truth vs.
News Incorporated.
And I tell you, we have got a lot of things that are really going on in the news that you want to...
We're going to be coming back in the second hour so you come on back too.
