	The U.S. government says, hey, look, we're going to ban Bitcoin.
	Are you in or out?
	Because if you're out, we're going to sanction you.
	Well, you know, most countries, you're going to nod their head.
	We want in with you guys here.
	If that crashes, and I'll send you the soundbite for your show.
	Everything crashes.
	They're going to just outlaw the ability to exchange, convert Bitcoin into the local currency where that Bitcoin is established.
	That is the plan.
	They're not going to outlaw Bitcoin.
	coin.
	It's outlawing the exchanges from exchanging the cash.
	Welcome to the Health Ranger Report here on Brighton.TV.
	It's Today, this is an emergency episode.
	We're actually recording this late in the evening with John Perez, whose name you probably heard recently associated with some of the huge questions being raised about the crypto ecosystem.
	And John Perez is one of the sources that contributed to the David Morgan crypto conspiracy series that is now posted on Brighteon.com.
	And John Perez agreed to join me today to answer some very direct questions.
	There's a lot of information flying around about Evergrande, about paper debt, about Tether, stable coins, Bitcoin, Jeffrey Epstein, the origins of Bitcoin and all of that.
	And that's what we're going to cover today right here in this episode of the Health Ranger Report on Brighteon.tv.
	Of course, I'm the founder of Brighton, and we welcome all other videos with other views on these topics.
	So stay tuned with us.
	We'll be right back after this break.
	Welcome back, folks.
	I'm just about to bring John Perez in here in just a second.
	First, I just want to say some people have misinterpreted my previous coverage of this topic into thinking that somehow I'm attacking Bitcoin or attacking crypto.
	No, I'm here to warn you that the globalist cabal is attacking crypto and that this guest today, John Perez, has decoded how the globalists are doing it and how they plan to take down crypto So we're actually on the side of distributed finance here and liberty, but we have to expose what the globalists are doing.
	So with that said, John Perez, thank you, sir, for joining me this evening to talk about all of this as a big topic.
	Great to be here.
	And those are usually the first questions people ask.
	Are you anti-Bitcoin?
	This is FUD. This is fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
	And the first thing I want to say is I'm pro-crypto, pro-blockchain, pro-honest money in this environment.
	Absolutely.
	This is not a...
	Pro-central bank or pro-Bitcoin or anti-anything.
	If anything, it's just really, this is just pure risk management as to investors, where their money's going, and then always looking for the hand behind the curtain, kind of like the Wizard of Oz when the Wizard said, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain here.
	And it looks like the curtains here is being lifted.
	And today was a big day because...
	You know, throughout all this news coming on board, I had mentioned that in the New York Times, there was an article that came out that listed Jamie Dimon as a banker that worked with Jeffrey Epstein.
	Of course, a lot of people gave me flack on that, but this is open source information.
	This is all mainstream.
	You name it.
	There's plenty of publications, New York Post, New York Times, New Yorker Magazine.
	And out of nowhere this morning, the news breaks that...
	JP Morgan wired $31 million to Ghislaine Maxwell.
	So the entire story changed since this morning, and it's just been an avalanche of information that brings up more questions.
	People are loaded with questions on this, and people are freaking out on every side of this, but let's establish a couple of things up front.
	First, I need to ask you, just in the interests of conflicts of interest, And I'll say, I do not own any Bitcoin or any crypto, period.
	And I do not have any bets on the downside or the upside of any crypto, period.
	Do you have any positions in crypto whatsoever?
	Zero Bitcoin, zero of anything.
	I have one pretty much a dead altcoin position, or they would call a fecal coin.
	That's about a couple years old, and it's worth about, take a penny and cut it up in about a thousand pieces.
	It's worth about that much.
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	So you have a lot to lose, it sounds like.
	All right.
	Secondly, people want to know who you are, what's your background, and what qualifies you to talk about finance at all.
	So give us that, if you would, please.
	Well, my background is precious metals.
	I've been long gold.
	Right after 9-11, when the buildings came down and when I saw that Building 7 come down, I thought now might be a good time to look at gold and silver.
	So we went long.
	I was managing a real estate fund at that time, and we had been making a lot of investments and doing really well.
	And when that building came down, we decided to go long gold, started moving clients into gold and silver.
	And it was just something we just started picking up.
	And I really wasn't on the...
	For me, gold was just an investment that we should probably have as an insurance head.
	I wasn't looking behind the scenes as to what was going on.
	This is back to 9-11.
	Fast forward, as real estate started getting frothy, And I knew it was going to be crashing.
	I was following Michael Burry from The Big Short and doing all the same work he was doing.
	And it just so happened and we sold all the real estate holdings in Newport back in 2005, 2006 at the very top.
	Called it perfect, nailed it.
	And as the fourth quarter of 2005, I ended up working for a company where we did actually all the...
	We're analyzing all the loans to a large bank, which failed and was acquired by JP Morgan.
	And I was pretty much the chicken little guy saying this...
	It was by the fourth quarter of 2005, I was pretty much telling everyone to get out of real estate.
	And of course, everyone just thought...
	You know, you're doom and gloomer.
	You're wrong.
	They laughed at me.
	And then the market crashed.
	Very similar to Michael Burry.
	I paralleled him the whole time.
	And watching all the hearings, Countrywide, New Century, all these hearings were going on.
	And while that was going on, it was almost a sideshow as to watching the markets crash.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah.
	Well, okay.
	Go ahead.
	Finish that thought.
	I'm sorry.
	So once the real estate market ended, pretty much we sold out of real estate.
	I was pretty much at a point where I really had to make some changes what I was going to do next because I couldn't see real estate returning.
	It did later.
	At that point, I ended up doing some analysis work strictly on real estate loans, pretty much confirming what I already knew.
	And then from there, once that gig was over, I ended up working at Monex and becoming a silver and gold trader there.
	And pretty much broke about every sales record there, moved millions and millions in silver and traded a lot of silver.
	And so pretty soon I was in the market and I lived gold and silver, especially 85% silver.
	Very difficult market.
	Trading it, it's a very deadly market.
	I don't recommend it.
	It's a widow maker.
	In fact, when I started working there, I came there right when we had a big crash in gold and silver and I was in training.
	I watched hundreds of millions go out, margin calls, people getting wiped out with leverage.
	And so my first month I was there, I remember, wow, this is not a good thing.
	Fortunately, I wasn't on there, but I started my career in the summer of 06, which was a year where gas was going up, fuel was going up.
	The markets were still cratering, but I was working the silver market by that time.
	Real estate, I knew, was done.
	And gold was just on fire.
	It had been on fire for almost three or four years.
	And That experience there.
	In the silver market, it's every day.
	It was millions of ounces I had in the market, up or down.
	And the market was trading normally at that time.
	It was not manipulated and suppressed the way it is now.
	It's managed now.
	The market is no longer what it was.
	And when you have that kind of money in, you learn to read patterns.
	And that's what set me up for watching the market's volatility change.
	We went into a managed silver market, crashed it up until 2011.
	And that's when I started seeing the similarities in the crashes in silver.
	As crypto came into the market in 2009, 2010, I didn't pay attention to Bitcoin until about $100 per coin.
	That's when it got my attention.
	And when it started making some really crazy swings, I started noticing that there's something familiar with these patterns here.
	It looked very much like a lot of different stocks that are manipulated, but more than anything, it looked like silver.
	And that's when the red flags started going in.
	So how long have I been looking at this?
	Yeah.
	We'll get into that.
	Right now I'm just trying to establish some background and where you're coming from.
	And also I guess your connection to gold and silver explains how you know David Morgan, who is the Morgan Report silver guru.
	And real quick, let me just add this.
	So you and I and David Morgan, we all three of us are considerably older than a lot of people who are in the Bitcoin hysteria or the crypto hysteria.
	They are of a generation where they were not even adults in the 2000 dot-com crash.
	So most of them weren't.
	So I remember warning people in 1998 and 1999 about the dot-com crash that was coming.
	And at that time, they behaved exactly as I see people behaving now in crypto.
	They said, are you kidding?
	All the rules are changed?
	P.E. ratios don't matter.
	Companies don't need to have earnings.
	You just buy and sell stock and everybody makes money and that's it.
	That was what was happening in 98 and 99.
	And I don't know how old David Morgan is, but he talks about he's got the gray hair wisdom.
	He's seen a lot, right?
	It's true.
	You know, like right now, you turn on YouTube and every commercial is real estate, crypto, real estate, crypto, real estate, crypto.
	And the funny thing I noticed, like, wow, wasn't anybody around in 2005, 2006, 2008?
	Everything crashed the way it's going to crash now.
	It's not even that long ago.
	Yeah, it was.
	And I realized there are people out here, everyone here is somehow an overnight millionaire doing nothing, not creating anything.
	And that's, you know, that's a big red flag.
	And especially off an anonymous established currency called quote-unquote currency, but Bitcoin, which I would consider it's a useful tool.
	It has a store of value.
	But reality is, you know, Bitcoin can be looked at as a...
	As a gold-plated Brinks truck, it can carry gold quickly, you know, electronically.
	Right.
	Interesting.
	It's like, we're the Brinks truck.
	We can move things.
	Great.
	I said, well, that's great, but is there any gold in the truck?
	It's like, no, but we carry gold.
	But where's the gold?
	So it's a useful tool, but there's more to this.
	And that's where the big conspiracy and the big rabbit hole is as to where this is going.
	Yeah.
	We're going to get into that, but I just want to establish also that I saw that about half of the people who have ever opened Bitcoin wallets have done so in the year 2021.
	And this is very indicative of the tops of bubble markets that we saw with subprime housing.
	The big short movie, of course, talks about that.
	The dot-com crash.
	And I guess before that, well, I guess 1987 doesn't really count.
	That never hit the mass adoption that we saw with dot-com stocks and then the housing stocks.
	But this is...
	Hitting this kind of mass adoption level.
	But the problem with that is that the more masses get involved, the less is their depth of understanding of what crypto even is or what the risks are behind it.
	Would you agree with that statement?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I have people telling me, so John, I bought Bitcoin at $40,000, $45,000.
	Someone told me they bought it at $62,000.
	I was just...
	Blown away.
	And I thought, do you realize what this is?
	It's like, no, I just know everybody's making money in Bitcoin.
	And I thought, back to 1979, I go back that far.
	The hot thing back in 1979, when Carter was president, before the markets crashed, I would call that the boomer crypto.
	Remember the $100 and $1,000 pyramids?
	It was like the rage across the nation.
	That's true, yeah.
	Remember that?
	That was insane.
	I do remember that.
	Yeah, neighbors would knock on your door like, hey, you want to give me $500?
	And then you can get rich.
	You're like, how does that work?
	Tell me that.
	I think I was 17 years old when that happened.
	I was working at Bob's Spring Cadillac in Downey.
	And I was basically, I think I was 17 or 18, and I was bringing all these expensive Cadillacs to all these high net worth people here.
	That was the hub there.
	And I remember one of the guys came to me and says, Hey kid, why don't you come to a meeting tonight?
	And I said, Oh, I'm going to hang out with all the salesmen there.
	And I came in there and there's a room full of people.
	I thought, What is this?
	And anyhow...
	That was the 79 rate, the pyramid.
	Crypto is the same thing.
	I think to me, crypto is the same thing.
	That's not a knock on the technology.
	The technology is valuable.
	It is the future.
	We're going to see more digital coins.
	We're going to see gold back, silver and gold digital coins.
	And I'm all for that 100%.
	Well, I'm really excited about that.
	And I've even said publicly the only crypto that I would ever support or be involved in, and I'm not involved in yet, would be something that's backed by physical gold and silver that's audited, that's in a vault.
	I can see the numbers.
	The company is inspected.
	It's got video cameras.
	I can look at the damn gold.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	It's the next best thing to have in gold in your hands.
	But now let's get to stablecoins and your concerns about the crypto ecosystem because the biggest stablecoin company, Tether, which I believe is incorporated in Hong Kong, has so far, for all these years of its operations, has never been audited and won't submit itself to an audit.
	Why does that raise red flags in your mind?
	Well, you know, the problem with Tether is that, number one, right, it has not been audited.
	We don't know.
	Nobody knows if they have the cash to back up a $65, $70 billion market cap.
	And the truth is, they don't have it.
	They don't have it.
	They don't have enough cash reserve.
	If there's a run on Tether, they're not going to be able to back it.
	But the big question here is the fact that there's a possibility that 20% to 30% of the paper That's backing Tether unaudited.
	It's only someone wrote a letter saying this is what they have, but it's not an official audit that's with a balance sheet and everything.
	And they're saying that their commercial paper, they have not identified that commercial paper.
	Anyone can go on YouTube and type in Evergrande and Tether.
	There are some fantastic videos outlining and detailing this that There's a possibility that Evergrande is the paper that's backing Tether.
	And there is a Senate hearing.
	They just put in their answers to a bunch of six questions three days ago.
	And I haven't seen the results of that yet.
	But the Senate asked for some answers here.
	And it looks like they haven't mentioned it yet.
	And they're keeping very quiet about this, but it should be coming out any day.
	And the markets, the way they're going right now, may be confirming what we already know.
	And then those answers came on Friday to the Senate.
	And what happens?
	In fact, I told her to watch Evergrande Monday morning, and lo and behold, Evergrande, 21% down, broke support, was in free fall today.
	I said, this is not a good sign.
	Now you've got all these inexperienced people in crypto.
	They don't see this counterparty risk here.
	They don't see it.
	That's right.
	People went into crypto saying, everyone's making money, so I am too.
	And I think UBS did a study on what kids were doing and millennials were doing with their money that they were getting from COVID and unemployment.
	I believe it was 65% said that it's all going into Bitcoin.
	I just thought, wow, that's an astonishing number.
	And I get it, though, too.
	Listen, we all want to make money.
	We all want to invest and do something good with our money.
	But there's an element of risk.
	And the minute you come forward and say, We want to look at this.
	The first thing you hear is, that's FUD. And that's the most dangerous two words you can say if you're investing your money or somebody else's money here.
	So I want to thank Joe Biden for funding this nationwide education of our youth, because the best education you can get is losing all your money.
	Yeah.
	And, right?
	I mean, this is better than a college degree.
	It's tough love.
	You know, everyone's going to have a PhD in losing.
	And, you know, in the money business, no one's a 100% winner.
	Sometimes before you really make it in this business, you've got to lose your ass.
	You've got to lose your shirt.
	Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.
	Personally, when I was at Monix, I had family money with me.
	And just very close, you know...
	You know, other family members and friends and clients that followed me in there and put millions of dollars in.
	And so for me, it was like every penny, it mattered to me.
	I was like obsessed.
	But when that money comes to you free from the government, and it just kind of lands in your account, it's not a good thing.
	It's not a good, because no one sweated it out for it to pull it out.
	So you nailed that one there in terms of a lesson here.
	Well, that's, I mean, and this lesson apparently has to be learned, you know, again, by each generation.
	And that's why those people with the gray hair, and I've got plenty of gray myself, but those of us who have been through this, we've been through several crashes, several booms, you know, the boom and bust cycles, which defines the history of finance and money, and it's not over.
	I mean, it will never end.
	It's just a new kind of boom and a new kind of bust.
	And this lesson has to be learned again.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, and you're absolutely right.
	I mean, you touched on something I never really thought about, what a great lesson this is.
	One thing I've seen from this is, you know, you've got two schools out there, too.
	At the same time, you're watching people going headlong into crypto, not knowing what they're going into.
	But parallel with this, in the last year, we've seen...
	You know, the Wall Street silver and the silver apes show up.
	That's like, wow, this is great.
	Look at all these young people who are just hitting silver, doing their research, doing hardcore research, tens of thousands.
	I mean, if there was ever a dream that came true for me as a silver trader is seeing the Wall Street silver groups come in and all the kids going gangbusters on silver at the same time watching this side go.
	It's like, oh, you see two sides of money there.
	And some people go back and forth and stuff, but that's a big positive from all this is that people see, hey, look, I don't trust the US dollar.
	Powell's printing like mad.
	And at the same time, I'm looking at this digital crypto thing and they're just, you know, you want me not to trust Powell and the US dollar, yet I got to trust this guy that's anonymous, Satoshi Nakamoto, of something that's decentralized, that my money can just vanish.
	How many people even get hacked?
	You can't hack a silver bar.
	You can't hack gold or silver that you hold.
	But you can be hacked electronically.
	Well, there was a big hack announced today by some crypto group.
	I don't know, a couple hundred million dollars.
	Right.
	But you raise a lot of good points.
	So fiat dollars printed by the Fed.
	The good news in the awareness of that scam is that I think today's youth are more aware than ever that the central banks suck and that they're looting you at an accelerating rate.
	Now, the one upside to that is you can kind of calculate how much you're being looted per year by the central banks based on their money.
	So it's kind of, you know, it's not a, they're not going to take it all in one year.
	They might take 20% of your purchasing power in the next year, but, but at least you have some knowledge.
	Whereas with crypto, like last Friday night or early Saturday morning, I think Bitcoin plunged 17.5% in an hour or something.
	And that can happen at any time.
	Or, as you said, there's counterparty risk.
	You can get hacked, or the exchange can get hacked, or there's regulatory risk, where a jurisdiction can say this is illegal now, as New York did with Tether, actually, earlier this year.
	So go ahead.
	Your thoughts on that, please.
	Yeah, you know...
	It's kind of interesting because the reserves at Tether have never been formally audited.
	I repeat, a 60 plus, 6, formally never been audited.
	That right there...
	If you've never been in crypto, you're not even going to think about that.
	But for me, I'm still working with other funds.
	I'm still working with private equity and family money, family offices.
	So I'm like, what are you guys doing here?
	They're not audited.
	But John, you know, everyone's doing it.
	I said, this is the problem.
	Everybody's doing it.
	I said, someone has to ask all the right questions.
	And the fact that they haven't been audited And they do not have the ability to cover for a run.
	But more than yet, the stories are coming out now that they printed $3 billion, I think, in the last three or four days.
	$3 billion in Tether.
	That money was supposedly used to pump up Bitcoin, but it failed.
	So now we got really big problems.
	You got people that are upside down in Bitcoin.
	And of course, since Bitcoin has done nothing but go up since 2009, you tell someone, look, you know, you better be careful.
	And you know, the first thing I say is, John, Bitcoin always comes back.
	I said, you know what?
	That's the most dangerous part about this market.
	Because in a real market, everything always pulls back.
	Well, right.
	I mean, they're looking at the upside slope of a bubble.
	And on the upside, of course it's always going up.
	On the upside, of course you buy the dips.
	On the upside, everybody's doing great with leverage.
	On the downside, leverage rips you to shreds.
	I've got a number for you.
	This is right here.
	This is a question that someone sent to me that should be asked to tether.
	Do they have enough cash to cover the reserves if there's a surge in redemptions?
	And the answer to that is no, but this is interesting.
	After years of refusing to provide any audit of its reserves, many of them claiming USDT was backed one-to-one by U.S. dollars.
	Wow, it's Tether and May published an, quote, attestation by a Caribbean auditing firm, Moore Cayman.
	Okay, John, I'm sorry to interrupt.
	We're just about out of time for this segment here on Brighteon.tv.
	So let me wrap this up.
	We haven't really gotten into the hard-hitting stuff yet.
	So that's going to come in the extended conversation, which will air on Brighteon.com, on my channel, HR Report, separately.
	So for those of you watching here on Brighteon.tv, be sure to check out the full interview.
	I'm Mike Adams, and you've been watching an interview with John Perez, and we'll see you on the other side.
	Okay, we're in the extended interview now, John.
	I'm sorry to cut you off there, but go ahead with your thought.
	Okay, so...
	The question is, do you have enough cash in your reserves?
	This is a question that should be asked to Tether.
	Back in May, they published an attestation by a Caribbean auditing firm, Moore, came in that revealed that just...
	Get this.
	Write this down.
	That 2.9% of its reserves were held in cash.
	2.9%?
	2.9%.
	This is an attestation, not a formal audit.
	This is basically, you know, dude, can you write me a letter?
	Oh, my God.
	Brace yourselves.
	Wait a second.
	2.9%.
	This is back in just last May.
	So let's just...
	I mean, let's put this in perspective.
	If you had...
	That would be like saying, oh, by the way, I invested in silver.
	They say that I put...
	I bought 1,000 ounces of silver and I have a dollar for dollar they're backing it.
	And then one day they said, hey, I want my silver.
	It's like, well, we can't send it to you.
	Well, we can send you some silver.
	Well, how much silver do you have?
	And we're going to send an auditor down there.
	It's like, well, let's see now.
	We have...
	Oh, well, it says here you have 1,000 ounces.
	Well, we have 29 ounces.
	Yeah, from what you're saying, if 3% of the Tether holders want to redeem their Tether coins for cash, then Tether has no more cash.
	That's right.
	Just like the movie Margin Call, if it goes past 3%, it will be significantly much worse.
	It would be catastrophic at 5%.
	A 5% redemption at Tether would likely be catastrophic because there wouldn't be enough cash to pay the people running out the back door.
	And then, of course, there would be a panic of everybody to try to redeem Tether.
	And that may not be far off.
	But what's shocking to me is that...
	Especially this audience watching this.
	These are well-informed people about what's going on in the world.
	Most of the people watching this would never allow themselves to be injected with a vaccine without knowing, at least reading the ingredients, to know what's in this, right?
	Most people would not take a nutritional supplement unless they read the nutrition facts label.
	And yet, why are they going into, or some people, going into a financial vehicle without knowing who's backing it or what are the ingredients that went into that vehicle?
	They're discounting the counterparty risk.
	They're not thinking about the ingredients behind the veil.
	That's right.
	And I think what's important to note here, too, is that You know, you look at Bitcoin, you know, people are worried about the dollar and what backs the dollar?
	You know, the government, the U.S. military, you know, Saddam Hussein style.
	What backs Bitcoin and crypto?
	Nothing.
	Unregulated.
	What does that mean?
	That means if that thing got hacked tomorrow, if it was an EMP hit and it went down and the money just vaporized, you have virtually no recourse.
	You're done.
	You don't even have an 800 number to call.
	1-800-SATOSHI does not exist for customers.
	Have you ever tried that number?
	No.
	Someone's going to.
	Hello?
	No, but here's the thing.
	Even if Bitcoin itself is on the up and up, and let's say Bitcoin has the built-in scarcity of 21 million coins, but still another third-party stablecoin can counterfeit coins and use it to buy Bitcoin and then sell the Bitcoins for dollars. but still another third-party stablecoin can counterfeit coins and use So they're using Bitcoin as an interim money laundering operation, even though that's not any fault of Bitcoin.
	You see what I mean?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And you know, what if this money, what if, this is a big if...
	This is part of the conspiracy, part of the rabbit hole.
	What if this money is being held and being utilized by the guys at Evergrande to be paying off what they have out there?
	Because as Peter Thiel said, I have some sound bites I'll give to you.
	Peter Thiel, Palantir boss, former tech advisor for Trump, and a very large CIA contractor, software and technology, and a pro-Bitcoin guy.
	He called Bitcoin a Chinese weapon of basically financial destruction against the U.S. dollar.
	Now, here's a guy that would know what this is.
	Of course, he's probably not going to divulge everything he has, but the guy's a master spy.
	And when he made the statement, I thought, well, that's interesting.
	This was before they moved all the mining out and everything and banned crypto.
	And people asked, you know, why did they ban crypto?
	I said, well, probably because they know what's coming.
	Wait, who?
	You're talking about China banning crypto?
	Yeah, China banning Bitcoin.
	And Peter Thiel had said that Bitcoin was a financial weapon against the US dollar.
	Well, that's probably true.
	Because if it's working, if it was listed as that, it's working.
	Money is going out the printer and it's going off into crypto land, into the cryptoverse, the black hole of crypto where money can go and sometimes never come back with no recourse.
	You and I, I think, would both probably agree that the governments of the world, they are all in favor of crypto technology as long as they control it.
	That's right.
	They just don't want crypto that they don't control because they need the surveillance, they need the social credit scoring system, they need to control your wallet, they need to limit your spending, they need to have negative interest rates, they need to have automatic taxation, all that stuff, right, that goes with electronic wallets.
	So they need a crypto system, but...
	What I see here, John, and you correct me if I'm wrong on this from your point of view, what the globalist cartel is doing is setting up this massive trap to crash and discredit Bitcoin and that entire ecosystem, and then they roll out the UN-backed wallet, let's say, with a message that says, oh, you shouldn't have trusted the unregulated crypto.
	You should trust the world government or something.
	Does that sound about right?
	Yeah.
	I look at Bitcoin, and I just think of one line from the movie Wall Street, 1987, about the crash, when Charlie Sheen asked him, you know, why did you do this to my father's company?
	And he just looked at him and said, because it's wreckable.
	And if you look at Bitcoin, you look at the pedigree, the DNA of where it came from, where it's going, and When it goes down, there's going to be no accountability because it's anonymous.
	And that money can be disappeared.
	And what's going to happen if Tether collapses?
	Here's one scenario I see.
	This is one of a few.
	One scenario I see, if Tether collapses, it'll be Evergrande, then Tether, which is going to be this week.
	The Senate is going to be getting these questions out and these answers.
	When that goes, it's going to take down Bitcoin.
	And if Bitcoin collapses and then takes out crypto, because it's going to be collateral damage worldwide, and they suddenly decide to make an international agreement, and when I say international agreement with the United States government or the Treasury Yellen or Liz Warren, when they make a statement like that, the U.S. government, the dollar is still the reserve currency of the world, still the strongest.
	And they have pull.
	If the US government says, hey, look, we're going to ban Bitcoin, are you in or out?
	Because if you're out, we're going to sanction you.
	Well, you know, most countries, you're going to nod their head.
	We want in with you guys here.
	If that crashes, and I'll send you the soundbite for your show.
	Everything crashes.
	They're going to just outlaw the ability to exchange, convert Bitcoin into the local currency where that Bitcoin is established.
	That is the plan.
	They're not going to outlaw Bitcoin.
	It's outlawing the exchanges from exchanging the cash.
	Wow.
	And then they'll also say, we're doing it to protect you, the consumer.
	Right.
	We're the government.
	We're here to protect you.
	And I have the soundbite.
	Literally, I just happen to have it.
	It's great.
	Once you see it, I said to a million people and they look at it, I said, you don't understand.
	This is a policy measure here.
	But listening to the verbiage, this is already completed.
	This is already done.
	And There's going to be some questions asked about some of these cryptos and tethers on the Senate floor here pretty soon.
	And now this reminds me of the Angelo Mozilla hearings when the housing market was starting to crater.
	And they put these guys up front.
	And they're whipping these guys.
	And of course, it's good guy, bad guy.
	Politician's good.
	We're here to save you.
	These guys are bad.
	Now these guys are going to be going up here pretty soon.
	And I thought, I'm going to put money on it.
	These guys are going to go up there and be asking questions, and we're probably going to see Bitcoin crashing while they're up there answering questions and say, well, you know, we need to save the day here.
	Like that scene out of The Big Short, right?
	Yeah, you remember the scene when they were in Vegas?
	Yeah, right, at the conference, and it was like, it's down 50% since you started talking.
	That's exactly what's going to happen.
	Yeah.
	But what people need to realize is even Michael Burry, when he made those big bets against the subprime bubble, and he was betting against the big banks, Bear Stearns and so on, he understood at that time that there was counterparty risk.
	He even demanded that the banks take out insurance policies to make sure that they could make good on their payments to him when they lost, and they thought that was so funny they couldn't stop laughing.
	Remember that?
	You know the scene.
	I know exactly which scene that is.
	We walked out and they laughed.
	I said, you know what?
	I know that feeling.
	I mean, that's how I got hired to this company.
	Someone just happened to me overhearing me go for six months telling people, you need to get out of real estate, put a for sale sign on it.
	Right now, at this stage, they're saying, why should I sell now?
	I said, because...
	It's stated income loans, zero down, ninja loans.
	Ninja, yeah.
	I said, you know what that means?
	If your broker tells you your house is worth $2 million, list it for $2.5 million.
	Why?
	I said, because someone who wants to have a Newport Beach address with an ocean view is going to do it.
	He's going to state whatever income he needs to to get that house because it's going up so fast.
	And they're thinking, wow, I'll get the teaser loan.
	And then I'll get an equity line and I'll live off the equity line, make the payments on it.
	And that was the catastrophe.
	And that's back to the big short.
	That's what collapsed everything.
	What's fascinating, though, is that in the subprime collapse, There were still physical houses backing the whole thing up.
	Even though they were wildly overvalued, there was something real.
	There were homes that function as shelter for human beings.
	When we're looking at the crypto market today, except for the few companies that are backed by, let's say, actual gold and silver that's audited or something like that, there's nothing there.
	There's literally nothing behind it.
	Nothing.
	It's scary.
	It's scary.
	It really is.
	I tell you, look, at least hold some silver.
	At least get some, bring it home.
	I've begged people, look, pull 50% out and just let it ride.
	All right.
	I know you love it.
	Get some insurance.
	Put it in your hand.
	You hold it.
	You own it here.
	You got to hold silver.
	You got to hold on to that silver and gold just for insurance.
	If that thing goes belly up, What's going to happen?
	The markets are going to be rocked.
	And when crypto rolls over, you know what's going to happen?
	Silver and gold are going to make the move to the heavens.
	That's what I expect to happen.
	They're going to let it go because starting January 2022, Basel, the Bank of International Settlements, Basel III, the banks are going to a gold-backed situation where they're backing loans with gold.
	Well, they're going to have to buy some gold and silver.
	If your money is locked up in crypto black holes, You might miss the boat.
	You might.
	You may or may not.
	You might get rich.
	But to me, it's not worth the risk to me.
	Recently, there was a message by Hillary.
	I'll get that to you.
	It's from Bloomberg.
	And she said, look at Bitcoin.
	It's becoming a threat to the world reserve currency.
	And I thought, my goodness, what did she just say?
	Let's just take out Bitcoin and replace it with Saddam Hussein.
	This is the same thing.
	When he went from the Euro, I'm not using the dollar.
	We're going to the Euro.
	Well, you're a threat.
	Of course, they made up some other story.
	But the real reason was he took oil and Euros and didn't want to take dollars anymore.
	And here Hillary came up and said that Bitcoin is the threat to the world currency.
	That kind of language in diplomatic and geopolitical speak, that's kinetic language.
	Well, right, especially coming from someone like Hillary.
	I don't support Hillary.
	Of all people, I was actually completely shocked.
	And then I realized, you know, well, this is chaos going on right now.
	But to hear that language from...
	Honestly, I was just...
	Still wondering, where did that come from?
	I would have expected that from Charlie Munger or Warren Buffett, but it came from that.
	No, I mean, Hillary creates so much abundance.
	Every time she starts threatening people, you should invest in the body bag manufacturing industry.
	Yeah, that was, that was not, that was, when I heard that, I just, you know, I just, you know, what does that mean where the guys are dancing around with the coffin?
	I just thought, this is, this is not a good, this is not a good look here.
	Right.
	Threat to the world reserve currency.
	This is not a good thing here.
	But let's back up to something you said earlier, if you don't mind.
	You're concerned that Evergrande is going into default.
	And based on my research, I completely agree.
	I think they are in default.
	It just hasn't been fully acknowledged.
	And then you believe that that could take down Tether because people might want to redeem Tether because they become aware of this counterparty risk with Evergrande.
	Am I right so far?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Yeah.
	There's one more piece to add to this.
	It's really important.
	And this is actually another from a Senate committee meeting.
	And I'll get that linked to you also.
	We'll make sure that all these things that I'm saying that are referenced, so people can look and make up their own decisions.
	Because this is about just people assessing the reality of what's going on behind the curtain.
	There are many hedge funds that are buying crypto.
	They can buy $100 million of Bitcoin or crypto with only $1 million, 100 to 1 leverage, 50 to 101, which means if Bitcoin goes down 2%, they're 100% loss.
	Now, if it goes down 20 grand, I mean, most of the liquidations the other day were actually leveraged funds that were just completely blown out.
	Well, I saw 400,000 Bitcoin accounts got blown out Saturday morning.
	Yeah, that's another just, you know, those are the things that are happening in Bitcoin now, absolutely unheard of.
	This has never happened in history.
	This is breathtaking.
	For me, being a trader, you know, being a trader for so many years, I look at this and say, this is astonishing.
	Why is it?
	Because I'm looking at this and thinking, this is unregulated, my friend.
	When this goes here...
	There's going to be no feedback.
	There's going to be no blowback.
	You're going to be just done.
	Poof.
	At least if you're in a housing, you might be underwater for years.
	You might come back.
	Maybe you sell.
	You go into cash.
	If you're in a futures contract, you get stopped out.
	You have something left.
	You take delivery in silver and some cash.
	But Bitcoin, if they seize it, like I believe they will.
	Seize it?
	It's going to be...
	Wait.
	Who's going to seize it?
	Well, who's seizing Bitcoin?
	Here's where the conspiracy makes a big, long, deep turn.
	You have to go back to the December 21st, go back and look at December 21st, 2017, human trafficking executive order by Donald Trump that is still in force and that put us in a national emergency.
	We are still in a national emergency.
	You read that, And you'll see it's in big detail.
	Look it up.
	Trump's executive order on human trafficking very clearly states what they're going after.
	And one piece inside there talked about That because of the speed of the transactions in this area, that there'd be no warning that these assets could be seized by anyone.
	And I mean anyone going down from, well, once again, we're talking Epstein here.
	You know, MIT, Harvard, Bill Gates, all these names all revolved around Bitcoin.
	And, you know, Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first guys back in 2014 supporting the Bitcoin trust in the development of this.
	And it was Ghislaine Maxwell in 2020, I believe, in July at 9,000, supposedly made a trade for a billion dollars at $9,000 a coin.
	So, There's already human trafficking fingerprints all over this, but if you read that executive order, and reading that executive order is the very thing that took me to the point where I started asking the question, what was this executive order written for and who is it written to?
	It is probably the most detailed, most aggressive piece of documentation I've seen that comes specifically after human trafficking and Bitcoin.
	Hold on a second, John.
	I'm familiar with that executive order because I talked about it last year.
	I thought Trump was going to use that and invoke it to take down the deep state that had rigged the election, but he did not use it for that purpose.
	However, I got to push back on you just a little bit with this question.
	The structure of Bitcoin is that it would be impossible for anybody to, quote, seize it unless they control more than 50 percent.
	mining operations.
	I mean, because it is decentralized from a technical standpoint, isn't it impossible for a government to seize it?
	You know, I believe it is.
	I think what, you know, going back to this Liz Warren committee hearing I heard, and I'll get it was a conference call.
	I'm not sure who the guy was, but he just said, basically, there would be an international agreement made with all countries that they would outlaw exchanges from converting anything into the local cash.
	Oh, I can see that happening.
	Yes, yes.
	When I say seize, that's probably the more likely scenario that I expect.
	Okay, so they're not taking your wallet.
	They're just making your wallet null and void.
	Right.
	Or just freezing it and just saying, we're going to put a hold on you right now.
	Of course, the exchange is just going to roll over and say, we're registered, so we're going to...
	People call them, where's my...
	Like Coinbase.
	Yeah.
	We're locked in.
	And so this puts people in a very, very difficult position here because...
	Most people are going to panic.
	I know what it's like to be locked out of a market for a period of time.
	I've had half a million, million ounces of silver in on a trade on a weekend and watched silver tank in Hong Kong on a Sunday night.
	I don't go to work till the next day to access my accounts.
	I have money in the markets.
	We're down half a million, million dollars here in 15, 20 minutes.
	Of course, I'm there when the door opens, but this is a different ballgame there.
	This is...
	And that's what they do.
	What happens late at night and on weekends on Bitcoin.
	That's another thing.
	They do nefarious things when everybody's sleeping or it's on weekends.
	It's always the same pattern.
	They used to do the same thing to the silver traders.
	And anyone that's a professional trader in silver and gold has experienced this.
	We all know what it's like to be looking at silver and think, why is this going down?
	This makes no sense.
	Okay.
	So I'm just trying to connect the dots here for our audience, but there are a couple of themes that you've explored here.
	One, the most recent one here, is that governments could outlaw the conversion of crypto into local currencies, such as the U.S. dollar or the euro or what have you.
	And then the law-abiding crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase in the U.S., would honor that law, and they would cancel any redemptions into U.S. dollars.
	And then people who are holding Bitcoin would only be able to trade Bitcoin for other coins, and nobody would be able to convert it into fiat, I suppose.
	That's part of what you're saying, correct?
	Yeah, and we might not ever see...
	I mean, this is...
	We might not ever see the...
	The executive order part has come out publicly.
	They may just use a technicality for trading.
	The question is, because the banks are going to Basel III gold-backed loans and having more gold backing the banking system.
	I read Gary Gensler said, well, you know, what we're thinking is that Exchanges need to have...
	They need to back dollar for dollar what they have.
	Well, you know, the banks are going to be buying gold starting in 2022.
	So you need to back your assets.
	And that's when things are going to come to a halt.
	Because, you know...
	I think I've heard you use the term something like a zero-day scenario or something similar to that.
	Is that correct?
	Yeah.
	Our famous Klaus Schwab came out with a video recently about...
	Honestly, when I saw this, I thought, here we go.
	Global warming to disrupt the financial system.
	I thought, wow.
	Imagine freezing your bank account.
	And from the weather, I thought, well, how can that be?
	You know, how can anyone seize this here?
	Well, it's right here.
	I'll read this to you.
	This just came out last week.
	I was shocked when I read November 24th.
	World Economic Federation warns global warming to disrupt financial systems, quote, freeze bank accounts.
	What's the source of this headline?
	This is from the WEF YouTube.
	They put this out.
	What if extreme weather froze your bank account?
	Global warming.
	This just came out a couple of days.
	I'll send this to you.
	This right here.
	This should send shivers up your spine.
	This is like, wow, this sounds like a great reset plan.
	And you're all causing too much global warming.
	We're going to freeze your account.
	What if extreme weather froze your bank account?
	Global warming to disrupt this.
	This is from the World Economic Forum YouTube channel.
	If you go to WF YouTube, you will find it on there.
	What if extreme weather froze your bank account by WEF? And it's...
	Well, what's their argument that money is liquid and liquids can freeze?
	I mean, how are they justifying this?
	You know, we've had banks in North Dakota and Wyoming get really cold in the wintertime.
	Yeah, all your money's all frozen.
	Anything's possible with these climate change lunatics these days.
	They think carbon dioxide is poisonous to plants.
	I mean, you just don't even know where to begin.
	But for those watching who are skeptical of what you're saying, we haven't yet connected one dot that I want to ask you about.
	You talked about Evergrande.
	You talked about Tether.
	But why would Tether going down take down Bitcoin?
	What's that connection?
	Well, the connection there, and this is where a lot of the researchers and analysts that are looking at this believe that most of the tether that's been printed has been printed specifically to pump up Bitcoin.
	And I have...
	I don't have the study with me right now, but I do have it referenced.
	Basically, there was a study done, I believe, in 2019 or 2020 that said that only 10% of the activity on Bitcoin was real.
	This was from a Senate Commission study, and I thought...
	I mean...
	What do they mean by real?
	They said 90% of the activity was fake.
	It was fraudulent.
	It was just fake activity that was listed on the screen.
	List fake volume.
	And this is literally from a Senate hearing.
	I'll get you the data on this.
	I want to make sure that everyone gets to look at this.
	You'll see it for yourself.
	Well, I mean, I don't know what they mean by fake.
	I mean, do they mean automated trading?
	Because if that's the case, then 99% of Wall Street's fake.
	It's pretty much along the same lines.
	I believe it was on wallstreetonparade.com.
	I highly recommend everyone go to wallstreetonparade.com and type in crypto in the search engine and you're going to get a big dose of reality there because they have really done some great research there and you'll enjoy what you find there.
	It's enlightening.
	So do you get a sense that there's a burst of awareness about all these issues suddenly, that perhaps the Evergrande default situation is suddenly bringing this onto people's radar right now?
	Yeah, and the millennials are catching on first.
	They're really on top of this.
	There's been some guys that have put some great analysis videos on YouTube regarding Tether and Evergrande.
	And you look at three or four of those and you just, you know, your hands up.
	It's like, wait, wait, glad I knew this now.
	You go to tell 10 people and they're all going to look at you like and just say, dude, that's fun.
	You know, so that's the majority of the response is that's FUD. I was like, no, this is, you know, back in 2008, this was risk management and just analysis and careful due diligence.
	Well, for those watching, I want to explain FUD means fear, uncertainty, doubt.
	And yeah, a lot of the Bitcoin community, when they hear something they don't want to hear, they just say, oh, that's FUD. It's kind of the same thing as the mainstream media claiming that's a conspiracy theory.
	That's exactly it.
	I mean, this is why we call it a conspiracy because I thought, well, you know, no one's going to believe it.
	So let's just call it a conspiracy.
	And of course, I've had 99.9%, 100%.
	Oh my goodness, I didn't know this.
	I can't believe you unearthed this because, you know, going back to that Graphs Commons website with the network, you spend 15, 20 minutes there.
	It's a wrap, you know, you see where this is going.
	So that website you just mentioned, Graphs Commons, there's a link there that shows the network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, all the names and people involved in the companies and all that, right?
	Yeah, and that's where you, if you layer the executive order on top of Graphs Commons, then you'll pretty much, it's pretty much common sense.
	You'll figure it out.
	You'll start asking questions and saying, what are the odds here of this coming through?
	And by the way, we're coming up to a four-year delta On December 21st, which is the winter solstice, that is the four-year delta for that specific executive order, which I find very interesting that's coming up here December 21st, just as they announced today that JP Morgan wired $31 million to Ghislaine Maxwell.
	So we've also seen a spate of CEOs resigning across America since the Maxwell trial started, but kind of digging into another set of so-called conspiracy theories.
	There are some analysts out there who believe that there are still sort of Trump white hats.
	Somehow in charge.
	And by the way, Joe Biden doesn't do himself any favors by speaking from a fake Oval Office set on a soundstage.
	By the way, you're right, he's just like feeding right into it.
	But as the theory goes, the White Hats are going to arrest all the bad people and come back into control, and Trump's going to finish out his second term.
	That kind of thing.
	Is that...
	I mean, you hear that on the net, right?
	Listen, I wouldn't put it past me that the people that you would never expect to come in to do the dirty work end up doing the dirty work, you know?
	And I've always believed that when it comes to...
	Someone once told me once that God is not picky on who He chooses to do His dirty work, you know?
	Cleaning house.
	So I thought, you know, I wouldn't be...
	This goes long...
	Hillary said, hey, this is a threat.
	I would have expected that from a real conservative Trumper on the Senate making that statement, not Hillary.
	So I thought, whoa, what's going on here?
	Does it look like the entire House of Cards is going to come down on this side?
	Yeah, probably.
	I mean, it would make sense to me.
	The house of cards coming down on which side?
	What do you mean?
	If Bitcoin is going to be out...
	Let me clarify.
	If Bitcoin is outlawed in terms of...
	Or the exchanges are outlawed from exchanging Bitcoin here, it's going to come through a legislative...
	It's going to come through regulation combined with The executive order or regulation only or both.
	If it's both, then all this stuff is seized.
	I really highly encourage everyone to go back, actually print out that It's a broad, broad umbrella.
	Okay.
	That is a very critical executive order.
	I encourage people to review that.
	That's December 21st, 2017.
	It was put in place under Trump and it's still in play.
	It hasn't been retracted.
	But it seems to me, so what you're saying is that the viability of Bitcoin or other cryptos in the U.S. through regulated exchanges like Coinbase is only one pen stroke away from being dissolved effectively.
	So if Biden signs a certain executive order Or even invokes the order from 2017, you're saying that that could immediately, quote, seize or nullify the crypto.
	But it seems like you're describing many different vectors.
	Like, that action has nothing to do with Evergrande or Tether.
	No, I think, yeah, Evergrande Tether, I would see, would be the plug coming out of the dam.
	It might be, oh my goodness, we had this Chinese operation, you know, as unregulated tether in China, and we must step in here as politicians and save America from external threats, you know, the economic system here.
	And basically, that becomes a scapegoat for something.
	Look, it's...
	Bitcoin's been going for years on.
	These people know what's going on.
	They know what I know.
	It's not like they just woke up and said, oh, Bitcoin bad.
	No, they've known this.
	My conspiracy expands there.
	What do you mean?
	Willful ignorance?
	Well, right.
	But isn't this a reason why the deep state would want to keep Bitcoin going?
	going because it's so useful for them to pay bribes, kickbacks, you know, shovel money around all over the planet using Bitcoin.
	And again, that's not Bitcoin's fault.
	It's just a vehicle that is used.
	I mean, the CIA can use it to transfer money and launder money and all kinds of things.
	So it's a very useful tool for the deep state.
	So why would they want to take it down?
	I think when Biden mentions in his infrastructure deal, he talked about going after accounts with $600 or more and unrealized gains may have been...
	I think he may have been hinting here, unrealized gains.
	Well, who has unrealized gains?
	Who has the most unrealized gains?
	Well, it's very simple here.
	He's got a big debt hole to cover, you know, and he's got 87,000 more IRS agents here, so...
	You know, where are we going to go?
	Well, you know, it's like gold.
	You go where the gold is.
	Well, when it comes to money and unrealized gains, you go where the money's at.
	Where's that at?
	It's like, it's crypto.
	It's like, well, what if they freeze the exchange?
	It's like, well, then that'll make their job even easier.
	But surely they can do the math and understand that if they start to try to tax unrealized gains in crypto, they will force crypto sell-offs So that those individual account holders can pay the taxes on the unrealized gains and then that will crash the entire crypto ecosystem which will nullify the unrealized gains.
	They will become unrealized losses.
	Pretty quickly.
	Now, this is where it's really key that you go back and read the executive order.
	I'll paraphrase it here.
	It was very clear.
	In fact, this is the one part that I quote the most, and that because of the nature and the speed of the transactions of these assets, because of the speed of these transactions, There was no use in giving warnings or making any announcements that there would be any type of investigation or seizure of that product.
	They said that they're going to move forward with no warning.
	I'm telling you, you could read that.
	People should just get it and cut it out and put it on the wall.
	No warning in an unregulated universe with an executive order here.
	There's not going to be a warning.
	This is the part that is...
	It's unheard of.
	It's not going to be knock-knock.
	You're just going to wake up, open your computer, and it's going to be like, done, froze.
	It's like, is it gone?
	No, it's still there.
	It's just that you're going to have to pay a visit.
	You're going to have to do extra.
	You're going to have to wait like the Mt.
	Gox guys for years.
	While all your crypto money is locked up, you're going to see gold and silver taken off because then the money is going to get spooked.
	They're going to say, where Where are we going to go now?
	You know, crypto's frozen up and they're still printing the dollar.
	It's like, well, go back to what's always been great money and what's been real currency for 3,000, 5,000 years, and that's gold and silver, you know?
	And I see that.
	In fact, I see that's going to be the trigger for precious metals because it's going to be reversed.
	What happened in 2011 is silver and gold got taken out by the spoofers at J.P. Morgan.
	And then Bitcoin took off.
	And all of a sudden, it was like five years into this, gold sucks, silver sucks.
	It's like, okay, and everyone's switching over.
	They're all making money.
	Everybody's making money here.
	Look at all these trick people who have never had any experience.
	There's suddenly a million followers telling people financial advice on how to buy crypto.
	There's something wrong with this.
	So there'll be no warning to this.
	And this is key.
	I think anyone that's listening to this show should get that executive order, read it, and then go through that graph commons and all the more data you'll be putting out.
	You'll figure it out.
	It's literally right in front of you.
	It's out in the open.
	Well, yeah, that's what's extraordinary about the information you're presenting.
	It is all out in the open, but people have to connect the dots on it.
	And in that executive order, if I recall, that order talks about all kinds of different definitions of what is a person, right?
	It says a person is an individual or a corporation or a limited partnership or a nonprofit, right?
	Isn't that in that order?
	Yes.
	So it covers every entity imaginable.
	Oh, if your dog's got crypto, he's going to get shook down.
	Well, you mean my doge?
	My doge has crypto?
	Your Shiba.
	My dog Shiba.
	She craps crypto.
	Yeah, it's actual shitcoin in the yard, yes.
	And by the way, I want to say this.
	In that portion of the...
	I was prosecuting human traffickers and individuals who exploit children.
	The Attorney General through Federal Enforcement Working Group in collaboration with the Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Homeland Security, every single three-letter agency is in on this.
	And the people that made the decision on the financial side was the Secretary of State and the Treasury Secretary.
	And I just thought, wow, these guys have got a big debt hole to cover.
	Biden's been printing a lot of money.
	He'd probably like to get some of that back.
	But they can always print more until the musical chairs stop.
	But we're up on an hour here, John.
	I want to be respectful of your time, but if you could highlight or summarize the big points from the last hour, what do you think the main points are that the audience needs to walk away with here?
	I would say, number one, know the executive order from December 21st, 2017.
	Read through it.
	Give you a better understanding on what's the basis of how I came up with this conspiracy, this plan, this view on Bitcoin.
	Take a look at Evergrande.
	Look at all those ghost cities you see, these empty concrete buildings.
	That's all Evergrande.
	These people are just building concrete buildings and just walking away from them.
	It's like, where's all the money going to?
	Are they laundering money?
	And then you're going to find some obscure articles.
	Very good.
	I'll send some good ones here to Mike to have reference.
	Some good analysis of people who have done the research on Tether being used to pump up Bitcoin.
	So all these things come together here.
	And look, from the average person looking at trading, you're not going to see this.
	I do this...
	Eight, 10 hours a day.
	All I do is research, research.
	I'm in the mining sector.
	I work with, you know, gold mining projects that are going to public markets, and I have to do research, endless research, constant.
	And this was just, I had the time, I thought, I'm going to look into this.
	And there was just a couple red flags that told me to do this.
	But We're good to go.
	That J.P. Morgan moved $31 million into Ghislaine Maxwell's account.
	That's a big red flag.
	That just came out today.
	Believe me, there's a bowling ball coming and pins are going to roll.
	And what about, by the way, you just dropped the word evergreen, which is the code word for Hillary Clinton.
	I don't know if you knew that.
	Evergrande.
	How did that happen?
	But no, now this video, people are going to cut that apart and you're dropping clues about Hillary Clinton.
	And the Suez Canal or whatever.
	But what about Japan?
	You said earlier today, what's going on with Japan and stablecoins?
	Japan, I believe, let's see, pull this up here real quick.
	Japan said that they're going to limit all stablecoin in 2022 to only be allowed to be issued by banks.
	Well, that is big here.
	Let's see.
	This is coming up here.
	JP Morgan Banker testifies Epstein wired Maxwell $31 million.
	U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen says she's undecided on whether the Fed should issue a digital currency.
	That's translated to me as the currency is ready.
	It's going to come.
	Right.
	We're just waiting for the right moment.
	Oh, yeah.
	You get a cold night and it's not going to be good.
	Here it is right here.
	Japan's Financial Services Agency.
	This came out today at 1021 a.m.
	this morning.
	Japan's Financial Services Agency seeks to propose legislation in 2022 to restrict issuance of stable coins to banks only.
	I believe this is going to be the trend that goes worldwide.
	And we're going to see more of this, especially Japan's right next to China when they know what's going on.
	I'm sure there are intelligence guys over there.
	They see what's going on here.
	So the skeptical question on that, though, is that stablecoin is not subject to a geographic jurisdictional control.
	So what if Japan bans it?
	Well, they may be...
	I mean, this is always limited.
	They're never going to disclose their hand and what they're planning.
	This may change to the restricting issuance of stablecoins that we issue from the banks.
	If they issue, it's like, what are they going to issue here?
	Japanese stablecoins?
	How many?
	It's like, well, this could mean that there's a Japanese stablecoin probably ready to go already.
	Yeah, you're probably right.
	I think every central bank worldwide And that's why I tell people, cryptos are just here to stay, not crystals will be here.
	I believe every central bank has a digital coin, stable coin, ready to go right now.
	They're ready to go.
	They need the trigger, the fire alarm to go off.
	Okay, you've hit upon something really key.
	I wish I would have covered this sooner.
	But are you doing okay on time, actually?
	I'm okay.
	Well, all right, so let me ask you this.
	If the Fed is ready to issue a Fed coin, let's just call it Fed coin, and the EU central bank, and just as you said, you think every central bank is ready to issue its own stable coin.
	I agree with you.
	I think they are ready to do that.
	And China as well, like the digital yuan or whatever.
	But that would mean if you buy into that, like you buy the Fed coin, then it's just like having fiat dollars where you know there's a predictable amount of annual looting that is taking place.
	It's not, you know, look, it's...
	It's like someone's picking the poison for you.
	It's like we don't have to pick our poison.
	Someone is going to attempt to likely pick the poison for you.
	And what's it going to be backed by?
	Well, if they're using the Basel III requirements, then there's going to be some sort of metal behind it.
	If the silver...
	This is a conspiracy right here.
	Put your tinfoil hat on for this one here.
	If all the silver is found to be manipulated at J.P. Morgan and they come into some problems here, how that silver was acquired from spoofing and the government comes in and says, look, we're going to take over this bank here.
	We've got big problems here.
	They're going to get a billion ounces of silver.
	If suddenly the Treasury has a billion ounces of silver and they let silver go and resets it, they literally have the metal to back up a potential silver-backed stablecoin as partially backed by silver.
	And we'd be looking at executive order JFK 11110 all over again in digital form.
	But if they're only partially backed by silver, and especially if a lot of that silver is paper silver...
	which is the way they've manipulated it so far, right?
	Then isn't that the central bank's doing the same thing Tether is accused of doing?
	It's just having a tiny little pile of assets and multiplied through what they're issuing.
	Well, I agree.
	In fact, it's been complete fiat backed by nothing, but BS. And if they meet up to the Basel standards, they're going to have to come up with something new because the people are awake.
	We all know the dollar is backed by nothing.
	We all know there's a big problem.
	We know the market's going to crash.
	We know inflation is going to wipe everything out here.
	Real estate's going to crash.
	All this stuff's going to crash.
	And when the dust is settling...
	And they come up with a new plan.
	It better be a good one, because I don't think people are going to sit around here and say, look, we're not going to go through this again here.
	So I think they have something up their sleeve.
	And maybe it happens under the Biden administration.
	Maybe Biden is the one that wipes it out.
	And I'll go back to this.
	You type in 1929 Trump, and Trump is very clear in a speech he made.
	He said...
	If Biden is elected, he's going to raise taxes and he's going to crash the markets worse than 1929.
	And what I have found about Trump is that a lot of things he says, they keep coming true.
	And if I look at the numbers here, what's going on in the markets, the leverage, the debt, everything going on right now, we're already primed for 1929, without a doubt.
	And Trump made that.
	It's really worth a speech worth watching.
	I always go back and listen and watch his speeches.
	And in this case here...
	You look at it, you think, you know, if this crashes here, the dollar is going to lose all its credibility.
	They have, as policymakers and government heads of state, they have to come up with a system that's going to satisfy people that are actually awake.
	People are, we see, this is something very wrong here.
	Crypto wasn't the answer because of X. And now, well, you know, you guys were printing the dollar, but...
	They're going to have to come up with something.
	I think one scenario I thought was, people always ask, there's no gold in Fort Knox.
	It's like, well, if they let me down there, I'd come back and tell people, but I can't seem to get in there and get access to that.
	But I believe that the U.S. military has been seizing gold and returning it for the last couple of years.
	Wow.
	Another aisle that I put out years ago.
	And I said, why?
	I said, I just did some reading.
	I said, because the gold, remember, the gold was taken away from Ukraine when that regime change occurred.
	When Libya was taken out by NATO and French troops and U.S. troops, they stole all the gold here.
	Where's that?
	That's true.
	And, you know, I believe that gold has been has been recovered and maybe some of it's repatriated.
	And Muammar Gaddafi's son showing up to run for president again, I thought was pretty interesting.
	Is he going to you know, is something going to happen here?
	So a lot of a lot of spokes in the way here.
	This is really much bigger than it appears.
	I don't I don't want to simplify it and make it look easy.
	Yeah, we can we can barely even scratch the surface of this.
	But let me share this with you.
	The perfect cover story for all of this, the reset, you know, the collapse is a false flag cyber attack on the United States that Biden blames on China.
	So then he uses that to launch war with China or perhaps with Russia because they're trying to provoke Russia over in East Ukraine right now.
	But it seems like Biden needs a war.
	Xi in China also needs a war in order to keep his own domestic people in line.
	So both nations benefit from a war.
	A cyber attack false flag on the U.S. infrastructure that takes out the power grid for some period of time then provides a cover story for the collapse of crypto, which depend on electricity, obviously, and the also more martial law, like more total control and and the also more martial law, like more total control and probably, you know, gun confiscation on top of Just sort of take every tyranny that they want and just pack it in and call AOC over.
	Hey, AOC, what else do you want? - Yeah, I agree with everything.
	Every scenario you just painted, absolutely, 100%.
	I agree with that.
	And I think, you know, I've been following the Ukraine situation since 2014.
	And that happened under the Obama-Biden administration.
	And it's no surprise that Hunter's doing business over there.
	But, you know, when things go...
	FUBAR out there.
	It will be at the border of Belarus and Poland and at the border with Donbass and Ukraine here.
	And, you know, you can almost, you know, when?
	Imminent.
	Any sec.
	I mean, this has been, I've been writing papers on the Middle East and just military affairs since 1984.
	So this is, that's really how I got in this business, was understanding events going on and trading on events.
	Well, speaking of timelines, then, let me ask you, and I'm really glad you used the term FUBAR. I'm going to augment that by calling it full FUBAR. Not even half FUBAR. Like, full-on FUBAR. But what's your timeline for the crypto fallout, or let's say the Evergrande fallout, the Tether possible fallout?
	Like, when are you thinking this could happen?
	I think it's happening, right?
	For guys like me that are risk guys, I still have clients that call me every day, and they're already selling.
	They're out.
	In fact, I posted my cell calls in Reddit.
	I don't think anybody knew who it was.
	It was me.
	And I was very clear there.
	Cell...
	66,666 and sell 69,000 and go all in silver.
	Of course, I think I got so much flack for that.
	Everyone hated me for that.
	Of course, my favorite words is, I told you so.
	I've been doing this for a long time.
	I'm very good at predicting these things.
	So it's happening right now for the really experienced traders.
	And now people...
	After this information came out, now people are saying, whoa, I'm not going in on this.
	Not a lot of people say, I'm not going back in the way I did.
	I said, you know what?
	If you made 2, 3, 4, 5,000%, I mean, come on.
	Right.
	Take profits and bless the universe.
	Exactly.
	Thank God.
	Take some money out and go to the beach and walk away from the screen, walk away from the computer and be blessed because most people will never be able to say they made 5, 10,000% on their money here.
	You know, so I think actually the collapse of Tether and Evergrande is happening right now as we speak.
	It is happening just like housing.
	It's in slow motion.
	Right, right.
	It was a slow motion, the subprime collapse.
	You're exactly right.
	It took a while for it to unfold.
	What do you think of Dr.
	Marco Metzler in Germany who's been talking about that he thinks there's a global media cover-up trying to say that Evergrande really did not make its last-minute interest payments to foreign bondholders?
	He's right.
	I agree with him.
	I agree with him.
	I don't see any proof.
	Where's the proof that these guys have paid?
	But look, can we trust the media No, no, we cannot trust the media.
	Can we trust the legacy media?
	Look, can we trust CNBC? I think it was John Harwood who was up there trashing Trump, you know, between the Hillary and Trump debate there.
	And he turned out to be, you know, a mega supporter of Hillary.
	His questions were given to him.
	So we know that if people think, oh, the fake news is all political, it's about, you know, the deplorables and Trump.
	It's like baloney.
	Dude, believe me.
	There is...
	Fake business news.
	There is fake...
	Yeah, Jim Kramer.
	Yeah, Kramer is...
	Kramer, you have to look at and you just have to decipher what that guy is saying.
	You can never trust him.
	I mean, here's the guy that said when Bear Stearns was collapsing with...
	And by the way, collapsing with the biggest silver short position ever...
	Where Maxwell had her account also.
	When Bear Stearns was collapsing, he went on and you can type in the rant.
	Type in Jim Cramer, Bear Stearns.
	When it collapsed, right the day before, he said, no, keep your money in Bear Stearns.
	Look it up.
	You'll see it's like, oh my God.
	I think it was $29 or $45 a share.
	Keep your money in.
	Boom, the next way they dropped down to $2.
	And who got them?
	JP Morgan.
	Who else went down?
	Wamu, where I did my work analyzing their paper in 2005.
	They acquired them.
	Three years later, boom, they got Wamu.
	They, you know, they...
	It's Vegas.
	The house wins.
	They took all the chips, and here they are now, largest position in silver in the world, and also the largest too-big-to-fail bank.
	But who knows?
	I think too-big-to-fail, I think that's going to end here pretty soon.
	Well, this is why I tell people, and I suspect you'll agree with this, when you take delivery of physical gold and silver, you are exiting the casino.
	You're putting it on the sidelines, you're freezing it, and it holds its own intrinsic value because of the atomic elements that make up those metals, just like copper or palladium or nickel or aluminum.
	It all has intrinsic value because it's real physical atomic elements on the table of elements.
	But I still see people who have such a mindset, they will buy like a hundred ounce bar of silver and You know, stick it in their closet, and then they'll watch the price of silver on a screen, and then they'll say, oh, I lost the money in silver!
	Like, dude, it's still in your closet!
	What is wrong with you?
	Open your freaking closet, just look in there!
	It's still there!
	You're the bank.
	When you bring it home, you're the bank.
	You're the house.
	No, I didn't.
	You're the house.
	What's wrong with people?
	You know, it's the worst thing.
	I've had people, clients I've worked with, and they get in the market, and we're going to do this.
	We're going to do this.
	Here's the plan.
	And they get in the market, and they're called, John.
	This is happening.
	This is happening.
	I said, you know what?
	You're going to lose a lot of sleep and you're going to get gray hairs.
	Whatever you do, don't stare at the markets.
	He's like, I noticed something.
	You really don't care.
	You're not even...
	I said, because I've been in so long.
	It's like war.
	If you're a newbie and bullets start flying, you're probably going to hide and panic and pee your pants.
	But a vet's going to say, okay, these guys are over here.
	This is the way it works.
	It's a dangerous game.
	I don't recommend it.
	But when you take home your chips...
	You're cash.
	You're gold.
	You are the bank.
	You are out.
	You are good.
	You can go home and rest and pet your pet rocks there and know that it's going to shine.
	Well, and I hear some of the anti-gold people say, well, somebody could come and steal it.
	And I always say, not through the internet.
	Yeah, nuts.
	You're not stealing my gold through the internet, because it doesn't jam through there.
	You can try that all day.
	Just like you can't shoot people over the internet, it turns out.
	Thank God, because Alec Baldwin would have a heyday with that.
	But, you know, people, they've lost all sense.
	Yes, they have.
	And here's a great story.
	When I was working at Monix, I got a phone call from a guy and he told me, he says, you know, I got a shoebox full of gold.
	And I thought, a shoebox full of gold?
	I said, that's a lot of gold.
	That's a lot of gold.
	And he says, yeah, some of it's wrapped up in old twine and this and that.
	I said, what kind of bars?
	I said, Fort Knox bars.
	I said, Fort Knox bars.
	Those are so rare.
	These are the original, you know, pre-1930.
	And he was going, I said, whew.
	He goes, can you give me an estimate of what this is worth?
	He gave me a list.
	I did it with the inventory.
	I came back and said, you got $1.6 million in gold, my friend.
	Where did you get that from?
	He says, my grandfather saved it before the Depression.
	Then he was so afraid he didn't lose his money, which is that generation, what they did.
	He put it in a shoebox and he buried it under the floor of a wooden house.
	Smart man.
	He averaged bought the gold at $29.31 an ounce.
	And I was just...
	I thought, and here he's inheriting it.
	And it turned out, he says, I've had it for 10 years, but I didn't want to assess it.
	I said, you have $1.5 million in gold.
	You got to do something with this here.
	Or, you know what?
	It's been sitting there this long, safely.
	Just put it back until you're ready to do something.
	And if you want to do something, give me a call.
	But...
	I said, honestly, if you leave it there, that was that when I was on the phone with him, I said, that was $650 per ounce.
	We're, what, near $2,000 now.
	Oh, yeah.
	$5 billion.
	Well, the best part is that's off-grid gold that the government doesn't know about.
	That's right.
	Like, it's not, it's not, they can't be seized.
	You know, it can't be confiscated.
	I mean, they don't, they don't know what exists.
	That's the best kind of gold.
	I've seen pallets of silver bars.
	Pallets where I've worked with guys that were just big oil guys.
	And it's like...
	Yeah, and look at the doorstops in this house.
	It's the house, a palace here, you know, and pallets of silver are just laying around like, you know, old red bricks, you know, and it's amazing.
	How long have you been collecting silver?
	It's like, oh, you know, 30, 40, 50 years ago.
	Some of that silver, that belonged to the Hunt brothers.
	I'm like, Wow.
	You know, so I've seen just some crazy amounts of silver and it's billionaires love silver.
	Millionaires like gold.
	Billionaires, they love silver.
	Bill Gates is an investor at Pan American Silver and Buffett bought 98, no 130 million ounces of silver in 1998.
	So silver is something everybody should be looking at.
	You want to feel good?
	Buy gold.
	Put it under your pillow.
	You'll sleep like a baby.
	If you want to go to Vegas and have some fun and you like the idea of making a lot of money quickly, silver is the racehorse.
	That's a fun metal to trade and make money with.
	That's why billionaires have mansions with 47 rooms.
	They need all that space to store the silver.
	Yeah.
	It gets kind of bulky at that scale.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, John, I mean, I'm sorry to take up so much of your time, but we got into some really interesting territory.
	This has been an intriguing conversation.
	You've given people a lot to think about.
	Any final thoughts here today?
	Yeah, you know, what I want to say is I'm not, you know, I'm not Mr., you know, I support Yellen, Federal Reserve.
	No, these people are maniacs.
	I've watched...
	I went through...
	I remember the 1987 crash because it really affected my father's business, and he was...
	Almost wiped out entirely by leverage.
	And that summer of 1987, I went to work with him.
	I was almost a full-time triathlete at that time.
	And he says, why don't you come work?
	And I came down and he says, why don't you just kind of walk around and figure out what you want to do?
	He goes, I think I'm going to put you in collections.
	I thought, okay, I'm going to collect checks.
	And I'm like, you're going to call these guys up for their money.
	Of course, me, I'm like, you know, all right, here's my list.
	I'm going to go out and get some money.
	Yeah.
	Of course, I go in one and I'm like, nobody has any money.
	And what happened, it was the furniture industry.
	Well, what's the first thing that happens when things pull back is people stop buying couches.
	And all of a sudden, I thought, dad, I went to like 15 places and everyone just said the check's in the mail.
	And I remember saying to him, school's about ready to start up again, summer's ending.
	And it's August.
	And it was three weeks later.
	I said, you know, I think you should pull back all this credit and stop issuing credit to these losers out here.
	And he says, I've never run a business before.
	The 87 crash was in October, wasn't it?
	Yeah.
	And I was there in August, August of 1987.
	And I worked there August, September.
	And then I remember when I left, I said, I'm going to write down a list of things you need to do.
	First of all, stop giving credit out to people.
	They were, of course, you know, the salesmen were like...
	Oh yeah, we did $100,000 in sales this month.
	Oh, we did $200,000.
	I'm like, you haven't done squat.
	These are letters of credit.
	These people are buying on credit.
	Well, they defaulted.
	The market pulled back and everyone vaporized.
	And these were all recourse loans.
	That my father had on some other products and it put him in the hot seat for years.
	Fortunately, he'd been buying real estate for decades.
	So, you know, unloading off, you know, cash, real estate took care of things, but it was very painful to watch.
	And I remember thinking, I was back in school again and back working and I watching the trade.
	So that's what I saw.
	By the way, a little tidbit of information.
	The average median household, I believe, is in the United States or Orange County in 1996.
	1996, the average cost of a house in the United States was lower than the average cost of the house in 1987.
	That's an interesting statistic.
	We're going to see housing go down, I believe, between 45% and 65% in the next six to eight months.
	And it's going to happen.
	There'll be no warning.
	Wow, you went to the very end of our interview to drop that bombshell right there.
	That's a pretty big bombshell.
	I have experience at this.
	Okay, so are you talking...
	I mean, I can see that happening in cities that people are fleeing.
	It's deleveraging is what it is.
	Right, it's deleveraging.
	Exactly.
	Okay, well, and I'll wrap this up by saying eventually everybody becomes a hard money person because after they lose enough playing roulette in whatever, you know, crypto leverage, subprime mortgages, you name it, dot-com stocks, everybody eventually learns to be a hard money person.
	And maybe that's why the older guys are all into gold.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Oh, John, you know, that's crypto.
	I said, you know, I get it.
	I understand.
	And, you know, at the end of the day, all you got to do is look at where did Ukraine's gold go to when things went haywire there?
	Poof, gone.
	Libya's gold, poof, gone.
	Iraqi gold, they made a movie out of that called Three Kings.
	It's about gold vanishing here.
	Why is it that when at the end of the day, when all these things happen, the powers that are making these moves, they're grabbing all the gold because they know at the end of the day, gold will be gold and there's nothing better than gold.
	It's biblical.
	It's the biblical...
	I always thought gold is God's money and you're never going to change that.
	That's true.
	And it's been around for billions of years too, by the way.
	Over 10 billion, according to mainstream astrophysicists, come to think of it.
	But thank you, John.
	I've got to tell you, it's just been an extraordinary conversation.
	I want to thank you for taking the time to spend with us here tonight.
	Great.
	I appreciate it.
	Absolutely.
	So, one final question.
	I mean, where can people find more of your videos or websites?
	You know, I'm on Telegram.
	Telegram is about the only place where I'm allowed, because people don't want to hear this.
	There are certain people that don't want to read this information.
	I'm on Telegram.
	I'll give you the link to it.
	And everything that I'm talking about, Ryan, if you go on Telegram and you spend 30 minutes on there, you're just going to get blown away.
	It's all right there, and it's unfiltered, and everything is always referenced to its original link there.
	So it's all objective information, and I use all pretty much 90% mainstream sources so you can put the puzzle together.
	And the name of the game is I put information there so people can assess it.
	Objectively and draw their own conclusions there.
	My Telegraph channel is a big trail of crumbs.
	Okay, what's the channel?
	Oh, it is...
	Okay, let's pull this up real quick.
	Memorize this.
	I mean, you gave us a nice pitch for it.
	Let's get people to it here.
	Silver is money.
	Okay.
	Yeah, dot...
	T dot me, but silver is money.
	Okay, silver is money.
	Yeah, people will be able to find that on Telegram.
	Yeah, and the headline will say, at Real John F. Perez.
	Okay.
	Silver is money.
	And at this stage, there's 1,600 photos there, 207 videos, 937 links...
	And there's a lot of information there.
	And there are other contributors.
	It's not just me.
	I'm getting...
	When this video came out, this was really interesting.
	I got to share this with you.
	Yeah.
	When your video came out and...
	My video?
	I mean, you gave a little...
	You gave...
	Believe it or not, there were people that were contacting me saying, you know, your name was mentioned on Bridie on it.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mentioned you in the context of the David Morgan series that you did.
	Yes.
	Oh.
	Well, between that and the Wall Street Silver interview with David Morgan, all of a sudden, I became like this, you know, golden pot of...
	People would start dumping research on me and I was just overwhelmed here by just, oh, I said, this thing's blowing open by itself.
	I mean, people heard that and...
	Some really high-profile people in the finance industry were just calling and saying, thank you so much for doing this.
	I'm passing this on to my upper-level guys here.
	And they sent me back stuff that's like, wow, this morning today was just an absolute...
	You know, bombed one after another.
	Boom, boom, boom.
	I said, it's happening.
	It's happening.
	And my line to my people right now is, look, you know, leave in the bank what you can afford to lose or have locked up.
	And if you're in crypto, you know, you should have sold what I said to sell and move half of it into silver.
	You know, that's not financial advice.
	I'm not a financial advisor here for everyone out there.
	I'm an entertainer, if anything.
	But there's...
	There's a lot of information there.
	You'll be able to figure it out.
	You'll see it, and you'll draw your own conclusions here.
	But I would recommend definitely go read Trump's executive order.
	Okay, yeah, and that's the one from December 21st of 2017.
	And yeah, okay, I agree.
	They should read that.
	All right, John, pretty amazing stuff.
	Please keep me posted.
	I know that your phone's going to keep blowing up, especially as this interview goes live.
	And for those of you watching, you do have permission to repost this interview in its entirety on any other channel, any other platform.
	I always encourage people to do that.
	Go ahead, post it on your channel on Brighteon or put it on BitChute, wherever you want.
	And also, just so you know, Brighteon.com, you can post a counter opinion.
	We are a free market, free speech platform.
	If you disagree with John or me, you think silver sucks and Bitcoin's the future of everything, I mean, seriously, go for it.
	Yeah, I've heard it all.
	I've seen it all.
	Yeah, I mean, no, we have, on Bright Town, we have, like, flat Earth people that have their theories of, they say the Earth is actually flat.
	And that's just, you know, that's a group and that's a channel.
	And the thing is, every viewpoint is welcome.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's healthy debate.
	I mean, it's good perspectives, healthy debate, and differ on that.
	And I mean, I know that I've had my hardest, biggest clients were the worst people I had to deal with.
	And once they were finally like, okay, I get it here.
	You know, it's been some of my worst experiences turned out to be my best clients.
	So yeah, absolutely.
	I think it's good to have that, you know, differing opinion there.
	And I I think it's healthy.
	It's healthy.
	It's important to do that.
	People need to question Bitcoin first, though.
	Then throw rocks at me.
	Well, right.
	I mean, question...
	Know the ingredients of what you're getting into, is what I tell people.
	Whether it's vaccines, nutrition, food, money, voting.
	I use this comparison...
	There's cash, US dollar.
	There's real money, which is gold and silver.
	And then there's GMO currency.
	My battery is going to go out here.
	I'm going to lose you here.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, yeah, I see it happening.
	Your video is freezing.
	But that's okay.
	We got your audio.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you know, it's...
	Let's see here.
	Okay, we'll just take a good freeze frame.
	You can finish your thought.
	We're about to wrap up.
	Okay.
	Okay, so at the end of the day, you know, everyone has to research these things.
	Now, take a look at Bitcoin, where it's at right now, and take a look at what...
	The Senate is coming into...
	If they hit them up, if Tether is hit with a audit demand, then the entire game is going to change.
	They're not going to make the audit.
	They don't have the assets.
	They simply don't.
	And all the analysts...
	This is written everywhere.
	And I hate to use the term everyone knows, but everyone knows that...
	Tether was being used to artificially inflate the price of Bitcoin.
	So people staring at the screen, looking at it, oh my gosh, look, we're going to the moon.
	We're all going to the moon together.
	It's like what you see on the screen may not be what it appears to be.
	And that's the case in precious metals too.
	When you see silver going down, it doesn't mean that the price of silver is really going down.
	It just means somebody way up there wants it to go down.
	The days that Bitcoin goes up to the moon, they always knock down silver.
	Why is it?
	They don't want the two competing.
	But at the end of the day, what are the banks going to hold?
	The banks are going to hold heavy metal.
	And they have bought nonstop since 2009 thousands and thousands of tons of gold while everyone said, oh, gold is worthless, drop gold, blah, blah, blah.
	I said, look, don't ever listen to what the banks say.
	Follow them and do what they do.
	Always follow what they're doing.
	And the banks, the central banks, have bought thousands and thousands of tons.
	Like you hand over a fist and price doesn't move.
	Well, because they control the price and they want gold for themselves.
	What they didn't do is while everyone was staring at Bitcoin going to the moon, the real robbers were making off with all the gold.
	Yeah, you're exactly right about that, but it is funny.
	If you say, do what the central banks are doing, it sounds like you're advocating counterfeiting, because that's what the central banks are counterfeiting all the time.
	I know, that's just a joke, but...
	Yeah, I agree.
	In the front, you go to the window, you see the guy there printing money, you're like, oh, look at this guy, he's making money.
	If you go to the back, and they're like, well...
	They're out there digging, mining gold and stacking gold in the back and people are borrowing money and they're just buying more gold.
	I mean, we could do a show.
	I could show you in the last 10 years how much gold was purchased.
	Everyone would be blown away.
	Just one show on just gold consumption by central banks.
	I've been in this game for a long time.
	I know every single purchase out there, and I've worked on helping brokers from really large purchases, and it's a very difficult game.
	But yeah, the amount of gold is just incredible.
	They're all meddling up for this big reset event.
	Yeah, they know what's coming.
	Freeze your account.
	I mean, look that up.
	Freeze your account from global warming up with that.
	What are the odds?
	Oh my goodness, what is that?
	It's like, chances are he's going to be right.
	Well, what happened?
	Oh, thanks to you, you know, useless eaters eating food, you cause all this flame, you cause this climate change, everything froze, it's your fault.
	Yeah, that's the day the WEF becomes WTF, the full FUBAR scenario, unfailed.
	I don't think that's too far off.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, all right.
	There you go, folks.
	And thank you again, John.
	I know we've got to talk again because we could go even deeper down the rabbit hole.
	But let's see what happens over the next week or so.
	And I have a feeling there's a lot of attention being paid to all these issues right now.
	Yeah, this is in the financial world, I can tell by the caliber of the phone calls and emails I'm getting and the messages.
	This story here that pulled up here, this has gone to the top of a lot of people here.
	They're realizing, my goodness, where have we put our money here?
	Is this going to come back to us?
	So yeah, it's been really high.
	High caliber, heavy hitters that have been contacting me saying, is this real?
	And I said, look, if I talk about it, chances are I've been researching it for more than a year, probably a couple of years.
	And in this case, I was on to this thing with Bitcoin and Epstein in 2017, 2018.
	So I've been on this for a couple of years.
	And, um, it's, uh, it's true.
	It's true.
	And it'll be in the news.
	It will finally come to news.
	And when it does, uh, people are gonna go, Oh, wow.
	Remember that guy?
	Oh yeah.
	He was right.
	How did he know?
	You know, I said, well, we actually, it's like GMO foods, you know, read the label.
	Right, yeah.
	There's so much that's happening that has just been in the blueprint.
	It's like the average person out there is just amazed that any of us in independent media, they think we have crystal balls often just because we're reading the documents that they're putting out.
	Yeah, this is extremely complex.
	You have to remember, too, from the finance world, if you go into a group of people and say, look, I think Bitcoin is X. I mean, there's 20 people in the room.
	19 are going to just jump on you and just say, that's FUD. I mean, that's the way it was in 2006, telling people to get rid of their house.
	Housing is going to crash.
	People just looked at me like I was insane.
	And three months later...
	Every single...
	I remember counting...
	I used to just count real estate signs, flags.
	I was done.
	I was out of the market.
	And I thought, well, look, there's 36 for sale signs on this corner.
	Oh, the next one's got 42.
	My goodness, look at all these signs here.
	And I was just blown away at how fast it went.
	And I had clients that lost everything.
	And they called me and said, John, you were right.
	How did you know?
	I said, Michael Burry, my friend.
	I said, I follow that guy closely.
	Yeah, right.
	After the crash, you're called Gandalf.
	Before the crash, they call you Elmer Fudd, like a Bugs Bunny rerun.
	They just call you Elmer, you know?
	Well, another show is Michael Burry, his position, I mean, right out of the movie here, his position on Bitcoin We're identical.
	In fact, I know for a fact that he knows what I know.
	I know it because I've read all his work.
	I said, he knows what I know, but he's not going to come out and say it.
	And that's why he erased everything.
	He erased his Twitter feed.
	He erased.
	He vanished about two weeks ago.
	He said, how do you trade Bitcoin?
	And then he erased everything.
	I said, now here's a guy.
	This is a guy here who...
	That you do not bet against.
	This guy is not stupid.
	He knows exactly what is going on.
	And one of the last things he said was, if you were invested in Bitcoin and you don't know how much leverage is being used in this coin, then you shouldn't be invested in crypto if you do not understand the leverage that's being used here.
	I 100% agree.
	It's just completely insane to not know what's behind your, quote, asset.
	So, okay, we seriously got to wrap this up because I have to do other work tonight as well.
	And I know you do as well.
	Thank you so much for your time, John.
	Just please stay in touch.
	I will, Mike, and thank you very much, and thank you for your audience for taking the time to watch this.
	I really appreciate it.
	Absolutely.
	Okay, folks, we went beyond the battery life of John's camera.
	That's how long this thing went.
	We went into super full foobar territory there, but it's a great conversation.
