	Two one and welcome, folks.
	You will come into truth versus news incorporated.
	Oh, and this is a oneth of the month of December, a whole new month as we go into the Christmas season, Thanksgiving, and all this is a time to be aware of all your blessings and all the things that are going on in this world.
	That's what we're doing here on truth versus news.
	We have the greatest people in the world.
	I will say very proudly that we have Dr. Jim Fitzer.
	I mean, I can't believe this outstanding gentleman who's written little books like this when American Nukes online.
	What a powerful informational book this is that you gotta have.
	I mean, this is this is a critical, pivotal book.
	How about this one here?
	Nobody died at Sandy Hook.
	Well, I don't know about that now.
	How about JFK Who, what, and why?
	Well, and he's got 40 more books.
	Jim is a wonderpiece here at 84 years old.
	Wow.
	And then we have 85 next week.
	When we meet next week, I'll be 85.
	85.
	Oh, congratulations.
	My hero.
	I mean, you're finding me a better person than Jim Fetcher and all Tarantino's killed Bill in the new expanded edition.
	Yeah.
	And let's see here.
	Okay.
	And then we have Joaquim Agopian all the way from Bali.
	He's just a wonder to behold and writes heavy articles about a guy named Trump and a guy named Exchange Epstein Epstein and other things that are just heavy as can be.
	Then we have Brian Davidson on the line here.
	And why is my computer going crazy on me?
	Anyway, Brian Davidson out of Texas, a private investigator, extraordinaire who digs deep and reports well on what's really going on.
	So Jim, I think we've got a little crisis happening in Italy that's not political, but God is angry, perhaps.
	Isn't that what's going on there?
	You got it right, Don.
	This report is on the order of a public service announcement because there's not a whole lot we can do about it.
	But there is a major development in Italy where a super volcano may be about to go up, putting at risk a half a million people.
	I'm not getting any picture here.
	Yeah, it's a dark screen, Jim.
	A message no one expected.
	Oh, really?
	Civil Protection Authority declared a state of emergency for the Campi Flegrave Volcanic Region and evacuation planning is now actively 500,000 residents.
	Nope.
	Emergency alerts is all right.
	Let's see what we got going on here.
	Can you see that?
	Still dark.
	Still dark?
	Yeah, mighty.
	Uh-oh.
	Do you see the screen there?
	Do you see even that?
	Black.
	Black.
	Okay, let's try it all over again.
	How about that?
	No.
	There you go.
	There we go.
	The emergency alert system interrupts regular programming across Italy with a message no one expected.
	Civil protection authorities have declared a state of emergency for the Campi Phlegre volcanic region, and evacuation planning is now active for approximately 500,000 residents.
	Buried in the emergency announcement is a single line that makes volcanologists across Europe stop breathing.
	Recent analysis has identified significantly elevated seismic activity patterns consistent with volcanic unrest.
	What the broadcast does not mention is the phone call that triggered the alert.
	At 3.17pm, Stanford University researchers contacted Italian authorities with AI analysis showing Campi Phlegre had been hiding 42,000 earthquakes from traditional monitoring systems.
	The supervolcano was four times more active than anyone knew.
	The emergency declaration is not about the magnitude 4.4 earthquake that rattled windows across Naples this morning.
	It is about what that earthquake represents, the beginning of a volcanic awakening that could make Vesuvius look like a gentle hiccup.
	New research reveals that Campi Phlegre operates through a self-sealing mechanism where the geothermal reservoir builds pressure over decades until the mountain literally explodes from within.
	The current cycle began in 2005.
	The ground has risen 4.6 feet.
	Seismic activity has increased exponentially.
	Every indicator suggests the pressure cooker beneath 500,000 Italians is approaching critical failure.
	Emergency planners now confront the unthinkable.
	How do you tell 500,000 people they are living on top of a super volcano that has been secretly preparing to erupt for 20 years?
	And if AI analysis just revealed that scientists have been missing 78% of the mountain's seismic activity, what other warning signs have they failed to detect about Europe's deadliest volcanic threat?
	To understand why Italy is preparing to evacuate half a million people, you need to know what Campi Phlegra has done before.
	My energy bill dropped from $150 to $50 by doing this.
	This is not just another volcano, it is what scientists call a supervolcano, a volcanic system so powerful that its eruptions reshape continents.
	40,000 years ago, Campi Phlegre produced the Campanian Ignimbrita eruption, one of the largest volcanic explosions in European history.
	The blast ejected over 150 cubic kilometers of volcanic material, burying Eastern Europe in ash.
	Some researchers believe this eruption may have contributed to the extinction of the Neanderthals.
	15,000 years later, the Neapolitan Yellowtuff eruption created the modern Campi Phlegre caldera, entombing everything within 100 kilometers under pyroclastic flows, moving at 200 miles per hour.
	Both eruptions utterly dwarf anything in recorded human history, including the Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompeii.
	Dr. Roberto Scandone, volcanologist emeritus at the University of Rome, explains the unique threat.
	He says, Campi Flegre does not build a mountain like traditional volcanoes.
	It is a collapsed caldera system, essentially a 13 kilometer wide crater filled with 500,000 people.
	When it erupts, there is nowhere to run because you are already inside the volcano.
	Historical records suggest Campi Flegrai may have erupted alongside Vesuvius in 79 AD.
	While Vesuvius buried Pompeii in a hellish avalanche of ash and gas, archaeological evidence reveals Campi Flegrai's simultaneous eruption was far more extensive, blanketing a wider area in volcanic debris.
	The lesson is terrifying.
	Super volcanoes do not announce themselves like traditional volcanoes.
	They create massive calderas that gradually fill with cities and towns until you have the scene we see today in Campi Fligre, 500,000 people living directly atop one of Europe's largest volcanic systems.
	Campi Fligre's true danger lies in its cyclical behavior.
	Historical analysis reveals the supervolcano operates in predictable patterns of unrest, each lasting 40 to 60 years and building toward potential eruption.
	The most recent cycle began in the late 1960s with gradual ground uplift in the port city of Potsuoli.
	By 1970, a phenomenon called Brady seism, slow vertical ground movement caused by magma and hydrothermal pressure, became impossible to ignore.
	Resident Angela Greco recalled that her kitchen floor started cracking in straight lines.
	The cracks followed the walls, then spread to the ceiling.
	It looked like someone was slowly pulling her house apart.
	The 1970s crisis escalated through the early 1980s as Potsuoli's ground rose over six feet or two meters, rendering thousands of buildings uninhabitable.
	The harbour became too shallow for boats.
	Ancient Roman ruins shifted and crumbled.
	And most alarmingly, seismic activity exploded from occasional tremors to thousands of earthquakes per year.
	The breaking point came in 1984 when a magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck during peak tourist season, triggering an unprecedented mass evacuation.
	Potsuoli's population of 40,000 fled as their city crumbled, many never to return.
	After 1985, the crisis seemed to subside as seismic activity declined.
	The evacuation order was lifted and many residents returned, hoping the worst had passed.
	However, behind the scenes, Campi Phlegre's magmatic system continued to accumulate pressure.
	Dr. Francesca Bianco, director of the Vesuvian Observatory, explains that Campi Phlegrai's cyclical unrest pattern hides a deadly secret.
	The magma chamber acts as a self-sealing pressure cooker.
	Each cycle of unrest adds more and more pressure, and the volcano reseals itself after each peak of activity, trapping that accumulated energy until it finally reaches a breaking point.
	And that's the potential we confront now, a breaking point which could cost the lives of a half a million people.
	Joaquim, not a lot we can do about it as mere mortals, but what are your thoughts?
	I think it's part of a bigger, you know, bigger phenomenon where there's so much more activity, whether it's volcanic or earthquake.
	I think there's a cyclical nature to all of this activity.
	And a lot of it, I also believe, has to do with the sun, you know, solar flares and that energy hitting the earth and compounding with the earth and underneath the earth.
	I think it goes in 13,000 year cycles.
	And I think we're in for some major, major action that's very destructive.
	I think it's going to happen in many places on this earth almost near the same time.
	Well, it's fascinating that using AI, they were able to detect massive number, like 42,000 mini-earthquakes they had not known exist.
	78% of the actual volcanic activity had been previously unknown.
	Brian, your thoughts?
	Well, I remember as a child, I was seven years old on May 18th, 1980, when Mount St. Helens blew up.
	We got a dusting and a whole lot of propaganda that scared the heck out of everybody, thinking that this was some sort of major event that was going to produce toxic waste.
	everywhere.
	It was a Sunday morning.
	I remember it very well.
	It turned out to be not that big of a deal.
	There was a lot of ash that clogged up a lot of vehicle, a lot of vehicle air conditioning systems.
	But I wonder how much of this is disaster management or disaster leveraging.
	Something like this smells to me of the pattern that went after the emergency theater related to COVID-19, which was basically a catastrophe is coming.
	So we need centralized authority and we need population displacement from this very popular, this very popular center.
	And so let's go ahead and use this as the means and the motive and the opportunity to clear this place out.
	And so we don't have to burn it all out.
	We've seen enough of these man-made disasters or man-contributed to disasters.
	I'm not necessarily one that believes that we have the capability of causing something like this, but I wouldn't put it beyond our government with the technology that they've hidden from us.
	I'm not going to say it's going to happen, but this feels to me more like the emergency theater that we've seen so many times before with the manufactured fear that drives population redistribution.
	Would there be a reason to target Italy?
	I mean, rich people like that part of the world.
	And when rich people like that part of the world, that's a great opportunity for a 15-minute city.
	Along those same lines, along those same lines, I think that weather warfare, you know, has caused earthquakes.
	It's caused lots of tsunamis, lots of major hurricane storms, hurricane-level storms, fires.
	And this is all man-made.
	So, you know, I'm not saying that this phenomenon in Italy is that, no.
	But I'm saying that there's that factor that's kind of alluding to where you went, Brian, on this, that some of it is probably conjured up, and particularly the weather warfare.
	We know that all kinds of phenomenon is happening.
	That's not natural.
	It's accelerated by certain weapons out there that actually heat up the earth and cause all kinds of havoc.
	Fascinating.
	Very, very good.
	Meanwhile, we turn to the Maha bombshell.
	The new FDA chief officer has admitted COVID-19 vaccines have killed children, and he's changing FDA policies in response.
	The Food and Drug Administration top vaccine regulator calculated, circulated a shocking email to staff exposing a modified mRNA slow-kill bio-weapon vaccine as being responsible for the murder of at least 10 children, adding this represents a profound revelation.
	Except that, ever since the rollout of these gene-altering, highly carcinogenic poison depopulation injections on the heels of the criminal FDA's fraudulent emergency use authorization, magnitudes more than 10 children have succumbed.
	Not to mention the plethora of severe life-altering adverse events like myocardiitis, turbo cancer, premature Alzheimer's, and more.
	The riggiver system has an under-reporting factor of around 41, which is actually extremely conservative.
	In other words, you can multiply deaths and adverse events reported in adverse by at least a factor of 41.
	The real underestimate probably closer to 100 to get a more accurate figure.
	So Invinay Prasad, director of FDA Center for Biological Evaluation and Research, admitted a detailed analysis of deaths voluntarily reported to the advice system showed that of 96 deaths between 21 and 24, they've identified no fewer than 10 that are related to the shot.
	You can multiply that anywhere from 41 to 100 times to get a conservative atrocite estimate for a democide murder rate, meaning by democide, governments killing their own citizens.
	Here's a report from Dr. Robert Malone, who never expected to see this in his lifetime.
	A revolution in vaccine regulation and approval.
	And I'm telling you, my wife, addicted as she is at MSNBC, is listening to reports disputing all this, claiming it's outrageous.
	But in fact, based upon my years of following this, it's all completely accurate and justified.
	Here it comes.
	Dear Team Serber, I am right a report that OBVPV, the Office of Biostatistics and Pharmacovigilance career staff, have found that at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination.
	These deaths are related to vaccination.
	The number is certainly an underestimate due to underreporting and inherent bias in attribution.
	This safety signal has far-reaching implications for Americans, U.S. pandemic response, and the agency itself, which I wish to discuss here.
	I want to address also some frequent objections.
	Prior to joining U.S. FDA, the FDA Commissioner closely followed reports of vaccine-induced myocardiitis.
	Unlike the COVID virus, which has a steep age gradient, being at least 1,000 times more likely to kill an 80-year-old than an 8-year-old, myocardiitis appear to have the opposite pattern.
	Young, healthy boys and men, those least likely to experience bad COVID outcomes, bore the greatest risk, as high as 200 to 330 per million doses given in the highest-risk demographic groups.
	Notably, the FDA and CDC were not the first to recognize this safety signal.
	Instead, the Israelis were and worse in May of 2021.
	Then CDC Director Rachelle Walinsky stated, we have not seen a signal, and we've actually looked intentionally for the signal.
	In the over 200 million doses were given, many felt this statement was dishonest and manipulative.
	I'll say it was an outright lie.
	She is an Israeli stooge, and they were very much supporting the facts.
	The commissioner, senior advisor Tracy Beth Hoag, myself and colleagues demonstrated that the COVID-19 boosters and accompanying mandates by colleges were on balance harmful to young men.
	In a widely discussed peer-reviewed paper in 2022, like many academic physicians, we felt FDA and CDC abdicated their duty to the American people.
	These agencies did not quickly attempt mitigation strategies, such as spacing doses apart, lowering doses, omitting doses among those with prior COVID worse.
	The FDA delayed acknowledgement of the safety signal until after it could extend marketing authorization to younger boys 12 to 15.
	This is described by the commissioner and Iron Jama.
	Had the acknowledgement come early, these younger boys who likely did not require COVID-19 vaccination may have chosen to avoid the products.
	In the summer of 2025, Dr. Hogue began investigating Avier's reports of children who had died after administration of the COVID vaccs.
	By late summer, she had concluded there were in fact deaths, a fact the agency has never publicly admitted.
	There's so much more, very detailed, very comprehensive, totally factually evidence-based.
	He's proposing major changes, which as I have said, Robert Malone never expected to see during his lifetime.
	I mean, this report is damning.
	A path forward.
	I want to outline a path forward.
	Our general approach in CERBA will be to direct vaccine regulation toward evidence-based medicine.
	And he recounts how one after another after another study wasn't suitably based, didn't have protocols, didn't have test subjects.
	It was disgusting, even for pregnant women.
	This means we will take swift action regarding this new safety concern.
	We will not be granting marketing authorization to vaccine pregnant women based on unproven surrogate endpoints.
	Any prior promises will be null and void, and we will demand pre-market randomized trials assessing clinical endpoints for most new products.
	Pneumonia vaccine makers will have to show how their products reduce pneumonia, at least in the post-market setting, and not merely generate antibody titers.
	Immunogenesis would no longer be used to expand indicated populations.
	These populations should be included in pre-market RCTs.
	We will revise the annual flu vaccine framework, which is an evidence-based catastrophe of low-quality evidence, poor surrogate assays, and uncertain vaccine effectiveness measures in case-controlled studies with poor methods.
	We will reapprise safety and be honest in vaccine labels.
	I look forward to having your thoughts on how we do this better.
	Additionally, at FDA, we have not been focused on understanding the benefits and harms of giving multiple vaccines at the same time.
	This is a concern shared by many Americans.
	The FDA standard has been to require randomized study too small to draw any conclusions, create a false sense of efficacy and safety.
	OVRR and OBPV staff will be tasked with writing guidelines to reflect these changes.
	And the mission of cyber will change to reflect this worldview.
	Never again will the FDA commissioner have to himself find deaths in children for staff to identify it.
	Vaccines will be treated like all other medication classes, no better or worse than AV factors, monoclonal antibodies, in an anti-sense obli-ucleotides.
	There's much more here.
	This is sensational.
	Everything I have followed here from the beginning, and I've reported endlessly on the vaccs, is being confirmed by this guy, totally confident.
	So, of course, he's now under massive attack, outrage from the pharmaceutical companies and their allies and stooges in the media and elsewhere.
	Joachim, your thoughts.
	Real quickly, can I ask one question?
	The children that were immunized, how many of those, what percentage had COVID and how many didn't?
	And it all died.
	I wonder what percentage of them.
	Any idea?
	Any idea?
	No, and they didn't.
	Part of that I didn't read was they didn't even follow up for those who didn't present themselves as sick.
	So the ones who weren't sick were never counted.
	So they had the wrong denumerator done.
	It was all, it wasn't sloppy.
	It was intentional to promote a deadly vaccine.
	Your thoughts.
	Yeah, what we have learned from this whole, you know, COVID Holocaust vaccine holocaust, because that's what it is, is that it was all intentional.
	This was planned by the world controllers.
	This was the bloodlines involved, the World Economic Forum in teaming up with big pharma, with the healthcare industry, and lots of governments all together.
	I mean, it was a DARPA research project for a long time where they didn't do any kind of follow-up studies.
	We know that.
	It's coming out all the time.
	But it was all planned.
	It was premeditated genocide against the human race.
	They have looked at the contents of those vaccines and there's poisons galore inside there.
	So there's no surprise that populations of all ages have suffered and families all over the earth have suffered.
	But the bigger pharmaceutical corporations that have resulted in the most deaths are from America corporations.
	And they targeted, they targeted the Western population for death from these vaccines more than the other places on this earth.
	And that was also by design.
	So, yeah, this is premeditated mass murder, genocide of the human race.
	It's in our face now.
	We now realize the level of total evil involved in this.
	They wanted to depopulate the earth a long time, and this was their beta test to see what they could get away with, fool the population of the earth by having the whole panic scare, which is harmless, that the actual COVID, if it even exists, they couldn't even locate it under a microscope, and then kill a bunch of people.
	And it was a beta test for what is coming, for what is happening now and what is to come in the near future to depopulate this earth of human beings.
	And we must fight back.
	You're 100% spot on, Brian.
	Yeah, we can fight back as long as we can admit that modern medical science is a cult.
	So let me make sure I understand the stories.
	The first one was that we have Prasad, a senior FDA official, admitting finally that COVID vaccines killed children.
	This was information that was previously censored.
	So they controlled the FDA safety narratives.
	And what are they doing now?
	I think it's pretty clear.
	This isn't a confession.
	This is basically just the beginning of a legal repositioning that's happening as a result of the loss of faith in medical science.
	It's basically damage control before the lawsuits lead to congressional exposure.
	So they're changing the narrative.
	They're making what they call a pivot to allow institutions to blame the previous leadership while continuing to retain the power.
	So it's a real simple pattern.
	We've seen it before.
	Deny, marginalize dissent, control the admission, change it to a limited hangout, pretend that we need entirely new adjustments to the whole situation.
	I like Malone.
	Malone is, his writing is a little bit heavy for me, but he's basically saying that we need a full regulatory overhaul, which will shift oversight power from the people to the control of the machine.
	So what they're going to rewrite safety protocols, the old safety protocols, Nuremberg didn't matter.
	The Hippocratic Oath didn't matter before.
	So now it's time to just go ahead and redraft all this.
	They're always going to protect the pharma profits.
	They're always going to do everything they can to reduce liability and bypass security.
	And the public exhaustion on this has just already reached its limit.
	So this whole emergency use culture thing is something that they're going to continue to drive.
	And I don't expect to see any major changes whatsoever.
	This is a machine that's bigger than Donald Trump and bigger than the presidency and possibly even bigger than the CIA.
	Well, that's a fascinating cynical interpretation of what's going on.
	I think Malone is celebrating because we got a guy who actually is going to reform the FDA and the CDC.
	We heard exactly the same thing with Kennedy, didn't we?
	What have we seen change?
	This machine is too big.
	The whole institution needs to be broken down and real science needs to replace this faux science that is what makes up the cult of the medics right now.
	Well, but I like that also.
	Go ahead, Jim.
	There's a counterattack taking place already.
	I mean, my wife's got it on TV.
	I tell her this is all exactly what should be done.
	And she's in denial.
	She says, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
	And I say something rather crude in response.
	Joaquin, your thoughts.
	Yeah, I wanted to add that, you know, we know there's a military component to this.
	There's the governmental component that's worldwide.
	And then, of course, healthcare and big pharma.
	But we also have to mention the media, the mass media.
	They had Hollywood actors preaching, go get your shot.
	You know, the news media, they're all basically controlled by the same handful of basically oligarchs that are controlling the earth.
	So yeah, it was a big conspiracy pulled against the human race, and it has taken a percentage of us out.
	And it not only operates very soon after you get the shot where they're suddenly dying over, but also years in advance, it's related to the deaths, you know, and they don't really consider that.
	But yes, it's still operating to kill people.
	Perhaps if I read more of the statement, you'd find it as convincing as do I that this is a genuine, sincere reform movement.
	Now, whether it'll avail is a whole nother question.
	And there, Brian, you may well be right.
	It may be that the pressure is so great, Trump removes a guy, something like that.
	I wouldn't be surprised by that.
	But I guarantee you, this is 100% sincere and appropriate and the right thing to do.
	I support it wholeheartedly.
	All the research I've done on this, which has been quite a lot, substantiates every claim he was making there and the moves he's making to correct it.
	So final thought.
	I agree.
	I agree completely that it sounds like it's great.
	Let's rewrite some rules.
	Where's accountability with the old rules?
	Did we just completely suspend accountability for the sake of medical science and now we need to reformat the whole system when there was no accountability before?
	What makes us believe there's going to be accountability in the future?
	Well, because this is the guy in charge who's going to impose that.
	I mean, look, he may be defeated, but he's doing the right thing.
	And I have no doubt this is a genuine reform movement much needed.
	Joaquin, a final thought.
	Well, yeah, I agree that I think this doctor is a good man and he's trying to do his best.
	But I also kind of lean towards Brian's conclusion that the evil is still in control and they're going to stop it one way or the other.
	I mean, we see the same parallel course with the whole pedophilia operation on the earth.
	You know, the bastards that have been doing this are still unaccounted for.
	You know, they've still gotten away with murder and rape of children.
	That goes on.
	So, yeah, seeing his believing as far as any substantial change in the system that holds the real perpetrators accountable, we have yet to see it.
	So, you know, I'm skeptic along with Brian.
	And I know you have a healthy skepticism as well, Jim, because that's the history we're up against.
	But he's doing the right thing.
	Yes, I agree.
	Dr. Young is doing the right thing.
	Yes, of that I have no doubt whatsoever.
	Meanwhile, in terms of Venezuela, there have been multiple developments.
	Trump has closed Venezuelan airspace.
	He's declared strikes within hours away.
	This was back on the 29th.
	This is back on the 20.
	You can't see it?
	No.
	Yeah, dark screen again.
	Okay, okay.
	Okay.
	Let me go back again.
	Let's see.
	Can you see?
	There you go.
	All right.
	Here we have Trump closing Venezuelan airspace going strikes are hours away, but this is on the 29th.
	And we're already on the 1st of December.
	So it hasn't happened in those hours away.
	Meanwhile, military lawyers have concluded have committed murder and war crimes.
	And I think they've got it exactly right.
	Former United States military JAG lawyers have concluded that Pete Hegseth has committed murder, war crimes, or both.
	A stunning statement released minutes ago shows a Department of Defense reeling, a Department of Defense that could face military tribunals, military prosecution, all starting at the top with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
	The statement was released minutes ago by Just Security and it highlights exactly how Pete Hegseth violated both United States law and the international laws of war.
	And I need your help to spread it everywhere.
	So make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe because this is a stunning development.
	The statement released by the former JAGS working group has unanimously considered both the giving and the execution of the orders by Pete Hegseth.
	And if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both.
	The group was established in February 2025 in response to the Secretary of Defense's firing of the Army and Air Force Judge Advocates General and his systematic dismantling of the military's legal guardrails.
	Had those guardrails been in place, we are confident they would have prevented these crimes.
	Bullet one.
	If the United States military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narco-terror trafficking vessels is a, quote, non-international armed conflict, as the Trump administration suggests, orders to kill everybody, which could be reasonably be regarded as an order to give no quarter and to double tap a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law.
	In short, they are war crimes.
	If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the records of a vessel are military destroyed would subject everyone from Secretary Defense down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.
	We call upon Congress to investigate and the American people to oppose any use of the United States military that involves the intentional targeting of anyone, enemy combatants, non-combatants, or civilians rendered or to combat out of the fight as a result of their wounds or the destruction of the ship or aircraft carrying them.
	This is absolutely creating a pure Ardow, also dominating the news.
	Meanwhile, what is unfolding in the Caribbean right now is not merely a military confrontation or a drug war.
	It is a textbook case of imperial economics meeting its structural contradictions, and the consequences could reshape global power relations for decades to come.
	Let me begin with the facts.
	In mid-November 2025, the United States deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, to the Caribbean.
	This vessel, accompanied by approximately 15,000 service members and over a dozen warships, represents the largest American military presence in that region in decades.
	The operation has been branded Operation Southern Spear, ostensibly aimed at combating drug trafficking.
	But anyone with even a cursory understanding of economic history knows that military deployments of this scale are never about what they claim to be about on the surface.
	Venezuela has responded by deploying SU-30MK, two fighter jets armed with Russian Kh-31 anti-ship missiles.
	These are not symbolic gestures.
	The Kh-31 can reach speeds of Mach 3.3 and carry penetrating warheads specifically designed to pierce warship hulls.
	More significantly, Russia has discussed supplying Venezuela with advanced Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles and caliber cruise missiles, weapon systems that could target American assets throughout the entire Caribbean basin from Venezuelan territory.
	Now, the official narrative from Washington is that this is about stopping drug cartels.
	On November 27, 2025, President Trump announced that operations against Venezuelan drug trafficking would expand to land operations very soon following maritime strikes that have already killed over 80 people.
	Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated the Cartel de las Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, alleging it is headed by Nicolas Maduro himself.
	But here is where the economic analysis becomes essential.
	Venezuela possesses the world's largest proven oil reserves.
	Not the second largest, not among the largest, the largest.
	This is a geological fact that cannot be ignored when analyzing the geopolitical maneuvering around this country.
	Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated explicitly what many economists have understood for years.
	Oil is at the heart of United States pressure on Venezuela.
	According to reporting by the New York Times, the Maduro regime has offered to open all Venezuelan oil and gold projects to American companies and reduce energy deals with Iran, China, and Russia to avoid conflict.
	Think about what this means economically.
	A government is offering to restructure its entire resource extraction sector, to reorient its most valuable trade relationships, to fundamentally alter its economic sovereignty, all to avoid military intervention.
	This is not the behavior of a government confident in its position.
	This is the behavior of a government that understands the stakes of resource control in the 21st century.
	The United States economy, despite all the rhetoric about renewables and green transitions, remains fundamentally dependent on hydrocarbon access and control.
	Not necessarily for direct consumption, though that matters, but for maintaining the dollar's role as the global reserve currency through I think that there's more here than Paul Krugman observes.
	There's a left-right backlash against going to war in Venezuela, and it's growing.
	President Trump declared in his second inaugural address, we will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars we end.
	And perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
	This is the guy I voted for three times.
	But he may be trying to get into a war in Venezuela.
	A chorus of voices on both sides of the political aisle urging him to stick to his better instincts.
	Pramp news this week that the president is now willing to talk to Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro as a sign they're having some impact or not.
	What I think may be having some impact is the fact that Russian weapons are there, including those anti-ship missiles, which puts Venezuela in a position to sink every ship in the American flotilla, and that they have the S-400, where B-52s were headed toward Venezuela until they discovered Venezuelan radar had locked on them and they were ordered to return.
	I believe if we attack Venezuela, it's going to be a very nasty surprise.
	And those 15,000 soldiers and sailors are going to wind up at the bottom of the sea.
	But get this: in pardon of Narco Trafficker, Trump destroys his own case for war.
	It appears more important to the White House and the party that the party of convicted Honduran President Juan Horando Hernandez wins Sunday's volatile election.
	The Trump admin has literally killed more than 80 suspected drug smugglers by blowing their small boats out of the water since September.
	But this week, the president reportedly decided to pardon one of the biggest cocaine traffickers of them all.
	If that doesn't make any sense to you, then join the club.
	Let me add: there's no evidence whatsoever that these little boats were transporting drugs, much less phenotol.
	We know Venezuela is not a source of phenetol that's coming from Mexico.
	Hegseth's order to kill them all, meaning leave no survivors, was in my opinion, to guarantee there's no one there to explain that they were out fishing or whatever the hell they were doing, which I guarantee was not running drugs to America.
	Joaquim.
	Yeah, supposedly, Venezuela or through the Caribbean up to the United States, the drug flow is something like 3%.
	It has nothing to do with a drug cartel in Venezuela.
	Nothing.
	That's a lie.
	Total lie.
	Well, what do we expect now from Trump?
	All he does is lie.
	You know, this is the peacetime president.
	Come on, give us a break.
	You know, I mean, it goes on and on and on with this guy.
	He's a total stooge for the elite that want to make World War III.
	Russia and China have a major stake in Venezuela.
	They're putting their foot down.
	It's not going to go the way of America just doing another quick regime change with a little military intervention.
	It ain't going to go down like that.
	And it involves Russia and China, who have superior military strength over America.
	And yeah, you're right, Jim.
	Sitting ducks sitting there and they'll be taken out immediately.
	It's just total lies, you know.
	I mean, they want the oil.
	Yeah, the biggest reserves in the world.
	Of course, we're going towards World War III.
	They have whole, you know, there's going to be different hotspots of this war going on.
	It's still going on in Europe.
	It's going to probably expand.
	Europe's going to send in their troops into Ukraine.
	It's going to get bigger there.
	It's already going big time and going to get bigger in the Middle East.
	Yeah, we got China and the whole thing in the Pacific going.
	That's going to happen too.
	They're planning on a wartime economy as the economy worldwide collapses.
	That's what's happening.
	And they're planning on a wartime economy.
	They're doing it against all the constitutional rules that require congressional approval.
	Nope, he's bypassing that.
	You know, it's just total disaster and headed toward, again, there's that word, human genocide.
	As I've explained in previous shows, I believe this is all related to a potential attack upon Iran by Israel and the United States.
	Knowing Iran will shut down the Straits of Hormuz, there'll be a shortage of oil.
	This is a backup.
	This is to ensure in advance America has access to oil.
	But frankly, it ain't going to work.
	I think this is going to be a catastrophic failure.
	And if we attack, we are going to pay an enormous price.
	Brian.
	Yeah, Donald Trump closing Venezuelan airspace.
	Look, we all can admit that Venezuela theoretically offers a low-cost foreign enemy that could theoretically unify political factions that he's created in here.
	This might be an opportunity the way he sees it to rally his base and project strength.
	But really, I think it's there to just overshadow domestic scandals.
	We have to ask ourselves the question about Venezuela.
	Is this national defense?
	No.
	Is it a geopolitical distraction?
	Possibly.
	Is this about drugs?
	Well, we know our government doesn't care about them.
	So what is this?
	Now, as for Hegsith, did he commit war crimes?
	I think that's pretty simple.
	They're not legal assessments that are being given.
	I think they're political weapons that are being dressed up as law to try to prevent Trump from doing anything.
	It'll basically just create some optics that these military moves lack legality.
	I think it might be also factional warfare inside the national security structures that are causing a bit of the problem.
	The responsible statecraft, look, both the left and right seem to oppose the war.
	So who's pushing it and why?
	And I think that's the question that they ask.
	There seems to be some massive disconnect between the political elite and public sentiment.
	And this is causing all sorts of illusions that Washington factions are completely out of sync.
	As for Venezuela's warning to the United States, yeah, it's true.
	Russia and China both have interests in Venezuela.
	This might be the stepping stone that causes the collection of governments under a single world government.
	I don't know, but this seems like there's a lot of chatter about this war escalation.
	And it feels almost like a bit of a Cold War playbook taking place.
	So I don't know.
	It feels to me like it's a great power trap by design that will tie down U.S. resources and basically force some sort of multipolar recognition.
	I'm not really sure what's going to come of this, but it might be just a play to test out which factions are going to respond and which ones aren't.
	Joaquin, did you want to add?
	Anything further?
	Joaquin, anything further?
	Well, I've had a barking dog here for the last couple minutes.
	So I didn't really hear too much.
	Okay, a larky dog.
	We got it.
	We got it.
	Meanwhile, President Putin has reiterated his conditions for ending the war in Ukraine.
	We know what they are.
	Keeping the territories they've acquired, no NATO for Ukraine, demilitarization so Ukraine doesn't have a force that could threaten Russia again, and denazification.
	Is it going to happen?
	Russia controls the outcome.
	Russia has won the war.
	But European leaders are desperate for it to continue.
	Left to their own devices, European leaders would be happy for the war in Ukraine to continue with little regard for the enormous human costs involved, the continued destruction of infrastructure, or the increasingly corrupt and repressive tendencies of Zelensky and his government.
	It came as little surprise, therefore, that the Europeans have been working hard to derail President Trump's efforts, which are already enormously challenging to bring the war to an end.
	The U.S. approach, characterized by Bosan X from Vice West Advance, is to ensure a peace plan acceptable to both sides.
	That's a basic principle of diplomacy.
	No one truly wins in war.
	And to bring it to an end, statesmanship is needed with both sides willing to make concessions in the interest of a longer-term peace, despite continuing to press home the advance of Russia's army on the battlefield and in a much stronger position economically to sustain the war.
	President Putin has shown a willingness to settle and draw a line to stop the bloodshed.
	And yet, as Vance said in his post, there's a fantasy in Europe, Kiev, and among some quarters in Washington, that if we just get more money, more weapons, more sanctions, victory is at hand.
	Peace won't be made by a failed diplomats or politician living in fantasy land.
	It might be made by smart people living in the real world, a nice tote of sanity.
	Meanwhile, after meeting with the Ukrainians, Witkovs had hopes of Moscow and the hope of Russia agreeing to a revised peace plan.
	Let me tell you right now, it ain't going to happen.
	Here's some remarks, however, of Marco Rubio.
	All right, and I apologize because I'm pressed for time.
	I think we both are, but I just wanted to update you.
	We had another very productive session building off Geneva, building off the events of this week.
	As I told you earlier this morning, our goal here is to end the war.
	But it's more than just to end the war.
	We don't just want to end the war.
	We also want to help Ukraine be safe forever.
	So never again will they face another invasion.
	And equally importantly, we want them to enter an age of true prosperity.
	We want the Ukrainian people to emerge from this war, not just to rebuild their country, but to build it back in a way that'll be stronger and more prosperous than it's ever been.
	And so this is comprehensive.
	What we're working on here today.
	It's not just about I dare say I can barely stand to listen to the guy He's such a shab.
	Joaquim, your thoughts.
	Yeah, I think that you know how that agency on corruption anti-corruption agency in Ukraine is coming down on the oligarchs in Ukraine and they already got the right-hand man of Zelensky retiring and then his business partner, he's gone and a couple of ministers of Ukraine have already resigned.
	I think Trump probably has a lot to do with that.
	Actually, the NABU, which is that agency, the anti-corruption agency in Ukraine, shares a building with the FBI.
	And I believe that they're working together to expose the Zelensky regime because they know it's a huge obstacle toward ending the war because Zelensky and the idiot puppets in Europe are determined to carry on this war till self-destruction.
	So I think it's going to happen where Zelensky goes.
	I don't think he's got much longer as president.
	His approval ratings are completely disapproval ratings at this point.
	The only backing he's got is the idiots in Europe, the puppets of Europe.
	So I think he's going to go.
	But I also think that, you know, with what we've seen, you know, one step forward, two steps back, that's the whole pattern here.
	I think that Russia is, because even the U.S. with their stupid 28-point plan and all this, it keeps, it does not recognize the sovereignty, the national sovereignty of Russia.
	It never has.
	And I don't see that it ever will.
	You know, there's still regions that have been annexed into Russia that are still part of this whole blockage of ceasefire.
	So I think it's going to have to go with all the way to the Polish border, military victory for Russia.
	I don't see Trump.
	I don't see anybody in the West as being a, quote, diplomatic source for peace.
	I don't think it's going to happen.
	Russia is going to win the war because they militarily dominate the whole of Ukraine.
	That's what it's going to take, in my opinion.
	Right.
	Yeah, it seems pretty clear that Russia is signaling that they have confidence and the advantage now.
	And so they're trying to lock in territorial control as soon as they can.
	Really, the question here is, is this peace emerging because the leaders want it or because Western forces have run out of options?
	Now, the next one was European leaders are desperate to continue the war.
	Yeah, of course.
	And they're going to continue to work with the media to control delays and try to control public revolt.
	But at what point does war continuation equal moral corruption?
	And how bad is the situation that the European forces feel like they need to continue to go in there?
	This whole thing is turning into a big mess because diplomacy hasn't been used properly, because talking has not taken place to try to settle this thing.
	And it's too much of a bastion of income for Western forces and for the rebuilding efforts that go to BlackRock and others.
	So you're going to continue to see the European forces resist any peace structures whatsoever.
	And you're going to see, continue to see public support and public sentiment for the war in Russia to decline.
	This is simply moral corruption.
	There's nothing right about it anymore.
	We need to go ahead and let Russia have what they want, shut down this Ukraine debacle, get rid of Ukraine, and or get rid of Ukraine's leaders in Zelensky and stop taking the lead from these European nutballs that think they can salvage their economies with more continued devastation over there in Ukraine and Russia.
	Well said, nice summary.
	Don, take us out.
	Oh, well said.
	Yeah, you said enough, guys.
	You said so much, Jim, and everybody here on the first of the month of December, Christmas time.
	Well, I guess that's a gift of a wake-up call to everybody to wise up that things are not good in the world or America, and we got lots of praying and working to do to get things right.
	So, here, truth versus news on the 1st of December, come on back for the second hour if you can handle it and share this widely.
	I mean, post it everywhere because otherwise, people weren't going to see what you're seeing here.
	And it is worth seeing.
	Thank you very much and acting on.
	God bless.
