	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Wednesday, November 29th, 2023.
	Mike Adams here.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And we feature an interview today with Peter Koenig.
	First time I've been able to interview Peter.
	He spent 30 years working with the World Bank.
	Yeah, this is going to be interesting.
	He spent 10 years working with the WHO. He's a water expert.
	He did research and analysis on the aquifers in Palestine, Gaza Strip, and Israel.
	Yeah, this is going to be something.
	You don't want to miss this interview.
	In fact, it was mind-blowing.
	Truly fascinating, mind-blowing interview coming up here today.
	With Peter Koenig.
	Now, we've got a lot of topics to cover today.
	One of them is the fact that gold hit $2,050 yesterday.
	Well, that's because, of course, the mad money printing machine is still in full effect.
	And the Fed is destroying the value of the dollar, of course.
	And by the way, the U.S. Treasury is having more and more difficulty selling treasuries.
	No one wants to buy them.
	A couple of stories on that that should send shockwaves through the minds of anyone paying attention.
	From the street, two-year bond auction sees slump in foreign demand.
	Five-year sales results mixed.
	It says that the Treasury saw another slump in demand for its latest benchmark bond auction Monday as the government continues to boost its overall bond sales.
	And investors are eyeing a key inflation reading later this week.
	So the bid to cover ratio, which is a key demand indicator of foreign demand for U.S. Treasuries, has slipped.
	Slipped from 2.64 down to 2.54.
	And the offer to buy the bonds was at 4.887%.
	Which is a rising yield, meaning the Treasury is having more and more difficulty finding buyers.
	Another story out of MarketWatch.
	Treasury's $39 billion auction of seven-year notes was poorly received, Trader says.
	Quote, fairly ugly auction based on where things were at 1 p.m.
	Eastern Time.
	This is a $39 billion auction.
	Most treasury yields remain broadly lower immediately after the auction results came in, it said, but the sale followed Monday's relatively soft $54 billion sale of two-year notes and a $55 billion sale of five-year maturities.
	So, look, what's happening?
	The only reason these yields aren't like 6 or 7% right now is because the Fed is printing money to buy the treasuries.
	In other words, America is like a dog eating its own tail, or I guess a snake eating its own tail.
	A serpent!
	How about that?
	A serpent consuming its own tail.
	If you print money to buy your own debt and you have to pay interest on that debt by printing more money, eventually you end up in a currency collapse hyperinflation scenario.
	And that's exactly where this is headed, which is why one of the reasons why gold just hit two thousand and fifty dollars.
	Now, the last time we saw gold at twenty fifty was right after late February twenty twenty two when Russia invaded Ukraine.
	Or, you know, the Donbass region, special military operation, whatever you want to call it.
	But when Russia attacked, gold shot to 2050.
	It's settled a lot since then, and not too long ago, just a few months ago, gold was in the $1,800 range.
	Now it's back at 2050.
	And then there's a story out of businessinsider.com, quote, gold prices are headed for all-time highs and could eventually hit $2,500 an ounce, Fundstrat says.
	A move above $2,009 per ounce, they say, should lead to a target range of $2,060 to $2,080.
	That's a technical analyst.
	It says that as an intermediate target, gold will reach $2,500.
	As you know, it doesn't mean gold is getting more valuable.
	It just means the dollar is losing its value.
	So for those of you who have gold, you have just witnessed the preservation of your assets in gold.
	The dollar value of your gold is rising substantially and is very likely to rise even more.
	While those who are holding dollars are, of course, losing the value of what they're holding.
	And it's very clear Now that the entire Western financial system is going to collapse at some point.
	And when it does, according to James Rickards, the elites plan to freeze the entire financial system, or at least the Western financial system, worldwide.
	And James Rickards, or Jim Rickards, who's the author of a book called The Road to Ruin, which it's an important read, I think I've listened to all the audiobooks of James Rickards, everything that he's written or published probably since 2000.
	But here's a story from Max Slavo at shtfplan.com that talks about James Rickards back in 2017, saying that there's only 189 people in the world who control the financial systems.
	And that, quote, the fate of the global financial system is in their hands.
	And he says, quote, the next financial crisis will not be merely a bigger version of the 1998 or the 2008 crises.
	It will be qualitatively different.
	He says it will encompass multiple asset classes on a global scale.
	In other words, you know how in 2008 it was a subprime mortgage collapse, for example, and back in the dot-com crash it was dot-com stocks.
	So those were kind of isolated to one asset class.
	In 2008, it was collateralized debt obligations or CDOs from banks on subprime mortgage tranches, right?
	But he says this next collapse will encompass multiple asset classes on a global scale, so you won't be able to cover the collapse of one class of assets with other assets that are doing okay.
	He says, quote, it will exhibit inflation not seen since the 1970s.
	Yep, we're starting to see the leading edge of that.
	Insolvency not seen since the 1930s.
	And we're seeing that.
	We're seeing a liquidity crisis among banks right now in Europe and the United States.
	And he continues, and exchange shutdowns not seen since 1914, over 100 years ago.
	Think about that.
	Exchange shutdowns.
	He's talking about shutting down the New York Stock Exchange or other exchanges.
	He says state power will be summoned to contain panic.
	You know, martial law.
	Troops in the streets, right?
	Capitalism will be discredited once and for all, he says.
	This is his book, The Road to Ruin.
	And as Max Slava writes, a network of elites will use the next crisis for cover, and they will launch their attack.
	The financial system will go dark worldwide.
	Trillions of dollars will vanish instantly, and in many cases permanently.
	Hundreds of millions of people will be cut off from their own money for months or even years.
	It will be the biggest confiscation of wealth in history.
	That's exactly what's coming.
	And you've heard me say now for how long?
	Well over six months.
	Maybe it's like ten months.
	I've said I am off-boarding from the financial system as much as I possibly can.
	And how am I doing that?
	You know, gold and silver and crypto and land and diesel fuel, right?
	Things like that.
	Oh, and by the way, Don't miss all the episodes that we publish, my co-host Todd Pitner and I, with our new show, Decentralize TV, and you can find all the episodes at decentralized.tv, and that's just decentralized, ending with I-Z-E,.tv.
	Just go to that website, you can see all the episodes.
	We are interviewing amazing guests.
	We just interviewed Adam Curry, for example.
	Who has a very popular podcast.
	And you're going to learn a lot of information there about off-gridding from the banking system.
	You're going to learn about privacy crypto.
	You're going to learn about food forests, growing your own food.
	You're going to learn about off-grid energy solutions.
	All kinds of things.
	I mean, it is a wealth of information there.
	You do not want to miss that.
	So, anyway, go to decentralized.tv.
	But for those who have their assets remaining in the system...
	Money in the bank.
	You're probably going to be facing a bail-in scenario where the bank says, hey, thank you for your money, which now belongs to us.
	And if you had, let's say, $100,000 in the bank, they'll tell you something like, oh, you can have $500 a month.
	Max, that's it.
	$500 a month.
	That's what will allow you to take out because we have a liquidity crisis here, right?
	So if you think that's awesome, leave your money in the bank and you will soon have access to a fraction of it.
	Otherwise, look into alternatives because self-custody is the only answer here.
	Self-custody means that you have control over the assets.
	If you have control, then obviously you own it.
	If you don't have control, you don't really own it.
	And folks, I've shared this warning, I don't know, a thousand times over the last few years, but make sure that you have thought through your exposure in the banking system, your exposure in fiat currencies, and your exposure to confiscation and bail-ins.
	And if you want to look at alternatives, I have...
	A really amazing interview coming up and a really amazing announcement coming up about a unique form of gold that I think you're going to find really fascinating.
	This is an extension of some of the tests I've been doing with my kiln and doing gold extraction and gold analysis using ICP-MS instruments at my food science lab.
	And I can't wait to tell you this story.
	I'll probably be able to do that in about a week or less.
	We're just wrapping up some of the final details on that, but I can't wait to share that with you.
	In the meantime, if gold and silver are appropriate for you, and of course get your own professional investment advice, Check out our sponsor in that space, the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company at metalswithmike.com and just know that I do not earn any affiliate fees on your purchases there.
	They are a sponsor, but just a flat fee sponsor.
	Personally, I'm finding that I have less and less trust for any of the institutions out there.
	Do you share that with me?
	I mean, do you trust your bank?
	Do you trust...
	Your pension fund?
	I mean, right?
	Do you trust Social Security to be there?
	Do you trust the government?
	Do you trust the dollar?
	No, right?
	I mean, every single person listening to this, you probably don't trust any of those institutions, and you are correct to not trust those institutions.
	So what does that mean?
	It means we have to prepare ourselves...
	Using our knowledge and our means to have things within our own power, our own custody, i.e.
	self-custody, so that we can survive all of this that's coming.
	Things are going to hit us like never before.
	Think about what I talked about yesterday.
	If you missed it, a big podcast yesterday, hour and 45 minutes.
	I apologize for the length.
	But I talked about how the Chinese robot factories go online in 2025.
	And by 2027, they're going to be rolling out millions of humanoid robots every year out of the factories with full supply chain and logistics support.
	And these humanoid robots will have AI brains.
	And what was it, like 44 degrees of movement, degrees of freedom of movement in all their joints and so on.
	And these robots will take over so much in the world of physical labor and health care and home care and military soldiers and warehouse workers and food restockers at the grocery stores and fast food workers.
	You want fries with that?
	You know, all this kind of stuff.
	So the humanoid robots are going to take over.
	And then on the software side, it's the AI agents that are going to take over the white-collar jobs, all the process flow, all the paper pushing, all of the insurance claim analysis, the risk analysis, bank officers, loan officers.
	All this stuff.
	Government people who are doing whatever they do and looking at paper, making decisions, copying and pasting and spreadsheets.
	It's all going to be taken over to the point where, really, between the physical robots and the software AI agents, such as Autogen from Microsoft, you're going to have about 50% of the workforce that is obsolete by the year 2030.
	About 50%.
	One out of two people that you work with, if you work somewhere, if you work in an office, and there's like 50 people on your floor, yeah, that's going to be 25 people by the year 2030.
	25 people and like 20 or 30 software agents basically taking the jobs from those people.
	So what are those 25 people going to do?
	Well, they're not employable anywhere else because all the other corporations have the same AI software agents as well.
	So half the population that currently works will be unemployable.
	Not just unemployed, but unemployable.
	Not to mention all the people with the liberal arts degrees coming out of the woke-tard universities right now who don't have any job skills anyway.
	They're unemployable today in 2023, much less thinking about the rise of the AI systems in the years ahead.
	So just think about that.
	Think about what this is going to mean for the dollar, how much money printing the federal government is going to no doubt pursue to try to give people money.
	At first, you know, here, have all this money, free food, free rent, free phones, you know, free unemployment, social security, welfare, food stamps, all this stuff.
	But then at the same time, surreptitiously, the government is like, oh, and also take these jabs, please, so that you die and we don't have to keep paying you all this money.
	Like, that's the actual, I mean, that's the agenda.
	It's like, oh, we love you so much.
	Here, have all this free stuff and please take the jabs.
	Please take the jab so we don't go insolvent as quickly because of entitlement obligations and payouts.
	I mean, that's the sad, tragic truth of where we are right now.
	And I'm going to talk a little bit more about AI and give you some update on our project, but some people have asked me recently, like, Mike, why don't you talk about vaccines anymore?
	How come you're not covering that vaccines are dangerous and all the latest developments of the spike protein and the DNA fragment contamination and all this stuff?
	Well, first of all, I spent an entire year covering these vaccines, you know, pretty much, well, maybe two years, 2020 and 2021.
	In 2020, I was warning about the vaccines that are coming, and then in 2021, warning about the vaccines that are here.
	And also, by the way, I've been doing this for 20 years.
	I've been warning about vaccines since, what, 2006 or something.
	And it's just that nobody paid attention until COVID and people started dying and all of a sudden everybody's like, oh my gosh, vaccines are going to kill us.
	Yeah, no bleep, Sherlock.
	I've been talking about this for two decades.
	The other thing is, And I'm sure you'll agree with me, and maybe I should apologize for being so blunt, but anybody that's idiotic enough to not yet understand that vaccines are designed to harm you and kill you, there's nothing else I can say to those people.
	It's pointless.
	I mean, look, either by now you've already figured out, yeah, these vaccines are dangerous.
	I'm not taking another jab in my life.
	I'm not taking a flu shot.
	I'm not taking a COVID shot.
	I'm not taking a, I don't know, RSV shot, none of that.
	HPV, whatever letters they come up with.
	I'm not taking a shot.
	Either you're in that camp already, or you're hopeless.
	You have no future in the human race if you haven't figured out that vaccines are designed to kill you.
	It really is that simple.
	And I'm not trying to be condescending or anything.
	I mean, I care about humanity, as you know.
	I want everybody to live and to be peaceful and prosperous.
	That's why I work so hard to protect human life.
	I don't want to come across as heartless or anything, but for God's sake, if you don't get it by now, there's not much else I can say.
	So that's why I don't cover vaccines that much at the moment.
	I mean, I've already said everything.
	I've already written everything.
	There's nothing else to add to it except just the details.
	Oh, okay.
	Whatever.
	Oh, here's the latest percentages of how many people died, you know, in Ireland.
	Okay.
	Whatever.
	I mean, it's the same story.
	It's just another little wrinkle, another little detail.
	But the big picture has already been established.
	If you take the jabs, you're committing vaccine-assisted suicide.
	It's that simple.
	And we can't save everybody.
	We try.
	We try to warn everybody, but we can't save everybody.
	Some people just want to believe the fake authority establishment and they're just afraid to step outside the bounds.
	Just afraid.
	We can't question the science and line up and roll up your sleeve.
	know, those people, they do not represent the future of the human race.
	It really is that simple.
	So the globalists know that they can cull those people or exterminate them pretty easily.
	I've said those are the low-hanging fruit of the globalist depopulation agenda.
	You know, the easiest to kill are the ones that can be gaslit with the PSYOP to line up and beg to die.
	Please give me the vaccine!
	Remember that when the vaccines first came out and people were begging, oh my god, I need Pfizer and Pfizer and Pfizer.
	And then there was a competition, I want Moderna.
	Oh my god, please give me Moderna.
	I will pay a thousand dollars for Moderna.
	People were paying to die.
	From vaccine injections, mRNA injections.
	They were lining up to pay.
	It's like, wow.
	Would you pay somebody to shoot you in the head with a 9mm?
	I mean, that's insane.
	But essentially, people did.
	It's just a little slower acting bullet, you know?
	And then, people eventually had to be incentivized.
	Remember that?
	Free cheeseburger, you know?
	For those dumb enough to trade their life for a cheeseburger, free donuts.
	There was a place giving away donuts.
	Remember that one place offered free lotto tickets, or maybe that was a whole state like a free lotto ticket, not even not even multiple tickets, just one, one lotto ticket worth, I guess, a dollar.
	Well, actually, probably worth zero because you probably didn't win the lottery to So essentially, I mean, the state prints up lottery tickets at a few cents a ticket, hands them out to people to get injected so they die, which reduces the state's financial burden in terms of pension funds and Medicaid payouts.
	And whatever else it owes to these people, I mean, it's like, wow, all we had to do was give them lotto tickets?
	And they took themselves out?
	I mean, the state comptroller is probably like, this is an amazing way to save a lot of money.
	We should do it more.
	We should have more pandemics and more injections and give away more lotto tickets.
	Take people off of our entitlements payroll system.
	That's all this is, man.
	I mean, it's a depopulation agenda.
	And again, people who don't understand this at this point are beyond reach.
	But you know, there's a lot of people out there like, you can't say all these horrible, nasty things about vaccines and big pharma.
	You should just say nice things all the time.
	Nice things.
	So nice.
	The glass is half full.
	Or maybe they're hallucinating.
	It's awful!
	The glass is awful!
	Which actually sounds like they're saying awful, but...
	And I completely disagree with that.
	We have to call out evil in the world.
	We have to tell the truth.
	When there is a genocidal agenda underway against the human race, we have to speak out.
	We have a duty to speak out, not just to save ourselves.
	I mean, like, I know I'm not taking any vaccines, but to help alert others to save them.
	Even, you know, the elderly woman that's about to line up for an annual flu shot, which I've heard they want to put COVID into the flu shots.
	Now, I'm not sure if they've done it yet, but they want to.
	I mean, who knows what else they're going to put in the flu shots.
	Just, like, grind up a bunch of diseased dead animals and have a slurry of DNA and put it in the flu shot.
	Now you're inoculated against everything.
	Like monkey aids and whatever.
	Tiger herpes.
	What?
	What kind of disease animals did you grind up for this thing?
	Why would you inject yourself with the diseased cells from all these animals?
	These diseased animals.
	What is it?
	African green monkey kidney cells?
	That's an actual ingredient in the vaccines.
	Aborted fetal tissue like MRC5. What is it?
	WI38. Have you looked up those ingredients?
	It's like dead baby cells in a grinder.
	And then it's like, oh yeah, this is going to boost your immune system.
	But don't you dare take zinc, you know, because that would be gross.
	Instead, inject ground-up dead baby cells.
	And the dumbass people out there are like, oh, I believe in the science.
	I have to inject dead baby cells.
	Again, what else can you say?
	You can't help those people.
	You can't reach those people.
	They don't even know what they're injecting.
	They have no idea.
	The level of DNA and RNA contamination in those vaccines, they have no idea what they're doing.
	I'm going to read a quote from a Polish-American rabbi known as the Prophet's Prophet.
	His name is Abraham Joshua Heschel.
	And he said, quote, Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself.
	That's a very powerful quote.
	Because, you know, doing good in our world...
	It's not accomplished by just saying nice sounding things to people.
	Oh, everything is okay.
	It's all good.
	There's nothing to worry about.
	We have it all under control.
	They care about us.
	That's a big one.
	They care about us.
	Who?
	The corporations.
	The governments.
	The FDA. They care about us.
	Really?
	Yeah, that sounds nice if you're an idiot.
	I mean, we have a duty to expose evil.
	Because as Abraham Joshua Heschel says, indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself.
	In other words, standing back and just letting evil run rampant across society, well, that creates kind of a social validation or an acceptance of the evil.
	Like, it's okay!
	It's okay if vaccines kill off 20 million people.
	It's just part of the system of helping people.
	And that's how you get in all these weird, twisted, anti-ethical arguments of like, yeah, we can bomb our way to peace.
	We can kill our way to tolerance.
	We can mutilate our way to, like, I'm talking about children.
	We can mutilate the children as a way to acceptance, you know.
	These are insane concepts.
	But this is what happens when you don't call out evil.
	When you see, like, drag queens twerking in front of your kids in Sunday school or preschool or library reading rooms or whatever, like, that's probably a child molesting, pedophile, half-naked pervert twerking his nutsack in front of five-year-olds.
	This is wrong!
	You gotta say it!
	This is wrong!
	You can't just stand back.
	We have to be tolerant.
	No.
	Tolerant of evil?
	Are you kidding me?
	Tolerant of evil?
	Oh, we got to bring our kids and line them up and have them injected with who knows what.
	We don't know.
	The vaccine inserts are blank.
	But it's the science.
	It's the science.
	Are you kidding me?
	You're just going to inject your child with emergency use authorization, whatever.
	Magical mystery solutions that have never gone through long-term clinical trials.
	Are you kidding me?
	This is actually parents pruning their genetic lineage.
	When parents take their children to be injected with COVID-19 vaccines, this is a parent screaming to the cosmos, I want to prune my ancestry tree and just end it right here.
	I don't want any more...
	I don't want children to have children.
	I don't want...
	Any more offspring, just infertility or death for all.
	I mean, that's what they're saying, but most people don't want to admit it.
	They just want to be nice.
	Oh, it's so responsible to have your children injected, you know?
	Don't forget the mask.
	Don't forget the lockdowns and the social isolation.
	That's also important for your child development, right?
	Don't forget the home visitation twerking drag queens in case your children are in lockdown.
	We can have the pervert pedophile ball sack twerking lunatics visit your child in their own bedroom.
	How about that?
	Would you speak out against that?
	Would that be something where you'd say, wait a minute, something crosses a line here somewhere.
	I'm trying to figure it out.
	Something sounds wrong about that.
	But the average person would be like, we can't say anything bad.
	Can't say anything.
	Now, what's interesting about that quote from Abraham Joshua Heschel is that he was implying, he was really speaking out about all the people who were silent about the Holocaust in World War II. I mean, because this man was born in 1907.
	He died in 1972.
	So, I mean, he was a middle-aged adult during the late 1930s and early 1940s.
	And he was saying that how can there be German citizens that can stand by and see the Holocaust taking place?
	Like, whoa, what are all these trains doing rolling into these incineration camps?
	What's all the ash falling out of the sky every day?
	The citizens of Germany, they knew what was going on, but they didn't want to rock the boat.
	They didn't want to say, we don't want to be native.
	We don't want to say anything bad about mass genocide taking place.
	So just say, it's all good.
	It's all good.
	It's all okay.
	We agree.
	That's what he's talking about.
	How can you be indifferent to that kind of evil?
	Which is really interesting, especially given today's events in the Middle East, where you have Israel mass bombing women and children in Gaza, although they're currently on a little ceasefire break for a few days during the hostage exchange.
	But how can you stand by, even American Christians or Israeli citizens, how can you stand by and watch them bombing and killing, what is it now, 14,000, 15,000 Palestinian civilians, including 40% of those being children?
	How can you stand by and say nothing?
	I mean, if Abraham Joshua Heschel were alive today, he would ferociously speak out against the bombing of Gaza.
	Because indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself.
	But you can apply this to many situations.
	You can apply it to people in the vaccine industry.
	Somebody working inside Big Pharma.
	They just came out of the monkey kidney cell organ grinding room.
	And they're just grinding it up, and the monkey part's flying everywhere, and they come out of the room.
	They're like, yeah, that batch is done.
	Let's inject it into children.
	Oh, wait.
	Did you remember the aborted human fetal cells?
	We have to have the ground-up, recycled dead babies in there, too, so don't forget.
	Oh, I forgot.
	He goes back into the room.
	More grinding, you know.
	How can that person not speak out against the evil?
	I mean, there's a real question for you, right?
	How do they not speak out?
	And some of them do speak out.
	That's why we have whistleblowers.
	But then they're called, you know, conspiracy theorists.
	Oh, there's no animal cells in vaccines, we're told.
	Really?
	Because it's listed on the ingredients.
	Are you kidding me?
	Oh, there's no aborted human fetal cells in vaccines.
	Also listed on the ingredients.
	I mean, I'm reading the insert sheets.
	It's right there.
	It's not even a secret, actually.
	Even the vaccine companies...
	Don't claim that it's not in there.
	They say they put it in there.
	They're kind of bragging about it, actually.
	Or you hear people, like, oh, no, the FDA doesn't collect, like, dead, aborted human fetal tissue.
	Actually, they have employees that do exactly that, that run around abortion centers collecting babies' skulls.
	I mean, this all came out in the FOIA requests from, you know, Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton.
	You know, the engineered humanized mice experiments and the FDA employee running around collecting baby heads from abortion centers, right?
	To sell them to the scientists, or maybe they gave them away for free, who knows?
	But to provide them to the, quote, scientists, they're like, oh, great, fresh supply of baby heads.
	Now we can continue our research into humanized mice experiments.
	Which is another kind of evil.
	Like, why are you playing God with mice?
	Why are you trying to...
	What are you doing with the animals and the baby heads?
	I mean, there's something twisted and evil about this whole thing, right?
	If your area of scientific research requires baby heads, you've probably crossed the line.
	You should maybe rethink what you're doing.
	If your research requires the screams of African monkeys...
	Or any screaming primates or screaming any animal.
	If you have to torture animals to make a living in your field of research, you would probably cross the line.
	Just saying.
	Or if your investment portfolio requires a lot of wars so that all your investments, your stock shares of weapons manufacturers go up, you might want to rethink what you're doing in terms of your investments.
	And I've heard this from a lot of people over the years.
	I've heard from some people that say, oh, it doesn't matter what the corporations are doing that you invest in.
	We don't want to judge them.
	It should just be about return on investment.
	Wherever you can put your money, they say, as long as you get the best return, it doesn't matter what they do.
	So they're investing in tobacco companies, weapons manufacturers, big pharma, whatever.
	Well, that's indifference to evil right there.
	I mean, what a cold, isolated view of the world.
	This is all about your profit.
	It doesn't matter what they're doing with your money, really, because when you buy their stock, you're giving them resources to carry out evil in the world.
	When you buy the stock of Raytheon, you're indirectly empowering the bombs that Drop on people that are killing people.
	I don't mean to single out Raytheon.
	I mean, it's also Boeing.
	It's also Lockheed Martin.
	You know, I mean, it's the weapons manufacturers, right?
	General Dynamics, what have you.
	They make weapons of war.
	You can't tell me these weapons of war are only used ethically.
	You know, especially in Gaza.
	It's like, well, we need to get the tunnels.
	So what do we do?
	Unfortunately, they had built an entire hospital on top of a tunnel.
	So, we bombed the hospital!
	With patients in it?
	Yeah!
	And with doctors in it, too.
	We bombed them all.
	We just killed them all.
	To get the tunnels!
	Wow!
	Seriously?
	What is wrong with you?
	Check your own investment portfolios, folks.
	You know, if you own gold and silver, which I talked about earlier, there's no evil in the gold.
	You know what I'm saying?
	There's not evil in the silver.
	If you own shares of weapons companies, there's a lot of evil in that.
	And you are complicit in the evil by supporting that operation.
	Take a look at your retirement funds or if you own mutual funds, take a look at their portfolio.
	Don't hold anything that invests in Pepsi and Procter& Gamble and all these just garbage, I would consider them toxic products and junk food, processed food, toxic personal care products that are just destroying, I think, a lot of health in America and around the world.
	Why would you invest in any of those companies?
	To this day, I don't hold any shares in any companies whatsoever like that.
	I think I do hold a few shares right now of PSLV. Which is just a silver, you know, it's just a fund.
	It's an ETF of silver.
	It's so simple.
	But I don't buy stocks of corporations because, number one, I don't really trust public corporations.
	I mean, almost none of them operate with ethics because once they go public, it's all about the money for all of them, for the board of directors, for the shareholders.
	It's just demand, give us a return on investment.
	We just want to make more money.
	Even if you walk in at the shareholder meeting, you're like, but maybe we shouldn't kill children for profit.
	The shareholders would shout you down.
	How dare you say that?
	It doesn't matter what they do.
	Don't judge them as long as they're making money.
	Seriously, that's the attitude.
	And if you're involved in that, take inventory.
	Rethink it.
	Get out of that.
	Don't be part of evil.
	Don't be complicit in evil.
	In fact, I just found out about the Crown family.
	Someone sent me this video from the Peace Report.
	This family, this Crown family that I guess is a big multi-billion dollar family.
	And this video, I guess, comes from an organization called Behind Enemy Lines.
	Which is pretty interesting.
	I'm not familiar with that organization, but I just want to play for you like a minute of this video, maybe a little more than a minute, because it's so shocking that the Crown family is reportedly involved in all these weapons manufacturing, and so they profit from war.
	They profit as people are dying in kinetic conflict, and you know, what a horrible way to earn money.
	What a horrible way.
	You know, I mean, my online store, HealthRangerStore.com, our slogan, Healing the World Through Clean Food.
	I believe in helping people be healthy and ending human suffering.
	And I would never put my money into a weapons manufacturing outfit, no matter how much it paid off.
	And people invest in these weapons companies even for just...
	Silly returns.
	Oh, I'm making 12%.
	Who cares?
	You're bombing people to death.
	I mean, why do you need 12% at the cost of human lives?
	That just seems totally wrong to me, but check out this video.
	Let me ask you a question.
	If a rich family who donated $75 million to a university in the name of social work actually earned that money through the death of innocent people, namely through illegal and immoral bombings, assassinations, and drone strikes, which includes the deaths of children, would you consider this philanthropy?
	Well, that's exactly what the Chicago-based Crown family did last year.
	The Crown family is a multi-billion dollar family who is deeply connected to the imperialist wars around the world, which their wealth depends upon.
	The fifth largest weapons producing corporation in the world is General Dynamics, and one Crown family member is the director, James Crown.
	General Dynamics emerged as a modern weapons contractor during the Cold War.
	In 1959, Chicago industrialist Henry Crown merged his previous company, Material Service Corporation, with General Dynamics.
	He then became the largest shareholder in the corporation.
	Today, the Crown family is the 34th wealthiest family in the US and owns 10% of General Dynamics.
	The core of their wealth and power and their ability to finance political campaigns and philanthropic efforts is the money raised by selling weapons for imperialist wars, which are overwhelmingly aimed at innocent people in some of the poorest countries in the world.
	Alright, if you want to watch the rest of that video, it's actually a 17-minute video.
	You can search on YouTube for The Peace Report.
	That's the channel.
	And the name of this video is Cancel the Crown Family.
	C-R-O-W-N. It's just Crown without...
	There's not an E on the end of it, which you might think there is.
	I thought there was, but apparently there's not.
	They dropped the E. It's just Crown.
	C-R-O-W-N. Cancel the Crown Family.
	That's the title of the video.
	Check it out.
	It's mind-blowing.
	Isn't it odd...
	Just to be navigating this world and realizing how much evil there is in the world.
	How many people are just thriving on deception and evil and lies and also a lot of hoaxes and hate hoaxes and false flag operations and things like that.
	So many people that, I don't know, their currency is just playing the role of a victim all the time.
	I mean, check out this story from Information Liberation, Chris Minahan.
	The title, Hate Hoax, Israeli-German singer admits he lied about a hotel discriminating against him for being Jewish.
	Boy, if there's one thing that some of these Jewish people are really good at, and again, I'm not saying all of them, but some of them, man, they're really good at playing the victim.
	This guy, Jewish singer Gil O'Farrim, 41-year-old dual citizen of Israel and Germany.
	Admitted in court on Tuesday that he made up a fake viral story about a hotel in Leipzig, Germany, discriminating against him for wearing a Star of David necklace two years ago.
	Turns out that surveillance videos show the necklace wasn't even visible during his check-in.
	So he admits he lied about the anti-Semitic persecution.
	His hoax prompted protests and a condemnation by the president of Germany.
	The hotel owner stood his ground and sued for defamation.
	Yeah, good for him.
	Good for him.
	I mean, the president of Germany condemned the hotel.
	And it was all made up by this 41-year-old Jew who just wanted to play the victim card.
	Oh, I was wearing the Star of David.
	They told me to put it away because they're Germans.
	Dude, you're German, too.
	And you're also a liar.
	You're a fraudster.
	So, according to the court proceedings here, this guy, O'Farram, he's worked out a plea bargain with the prosecutors, right?
	So he's not going to go to jail for this.
	He's going to donate 10,000 euros to the Leipzig Jewish community and a Holocaust education center called the House of Wansi Conference.
	And then there was an apology issued.
	So there you go.
	So he slurs the hotel owners and the hotel employees.
	He gets away with it.
	People protest.
	And then all he has to do is buy his way out of it by making a donation to a Holocaust education center.
	Classic, right?
	Classic.
	Did you know in Germany it is a criminal offense to question the Holocaust?
	Isn't that wild?
	I mean, I'm not questioning the Holocaust, just to be clear.
	I'm just pointing out that in Germany it is a criminal act.
	So if you're a German citizen and if you post on Facebook that you think...
	Like, let's say you say you disagree with the official count of 6 million Jews being killed in the Holocaust.
	If you say you think it's only 5.9 million Jews, you will go to jail.
	Because they will say, oh, that's hate.
	That's anti-Semitic hate.
	You only said 5.9 million.
	We say it's 6 million.
	What if you said it's 5,999,999, but not 6 million.
	You still go to jail.
	I mean, that seems insane to me.
	Again, I'm not questioning the Holocaust at all.
	I'm fully convinced that the Holocaust took place and that the German people stood by and said nothing because we're watching the Israeli people do the exact same thing right now.
	It's the same pattern.
	You know, horrific atrocities against humanity while the people just pretend it isn't happening.
	I believe.
	I believe all that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I believe the German people of World War II are just as capable of self-deception as the Israeli people in 2023.
	No question about it.
	Just as much as, you know, Canadian people are capable of self-deception standing by while their government takes away all their freedoms.
	Except for, of course, the Canadian truckers and the peaceful protesters who joined that.
	God bless them all.
	Just as the American people are capable of self-deception.
	Thinking, oh, there was an insurrection on January 6th.
	No, there wasn't.
	That was theater.
	It was all made up.
	Just like this hate hoax guy.
	What's his name again?
	Gil O'Farram.
	Hate hoax guy.
	He should do a rap song about being a hoaxer.
	But the speech police across Europe are getting pretty insane.
	They're passing laws across various countries where if you question any official narrative, you're going to go to jail.
	If you question, like, is this vaccine safe?
	Oh, you can't ask if it's safe.
	You're anti-science.
	Go to jail.
	Whoa, what about these rapes that happened the other night?
	I think that happened, I think that was carried out by illegal immigrants.
	Oh, that's hate crime against immigrants.
	You can't say that.
	Go to jail.
	Right?
	I mean, there's endless examples of this.
	Oh, I think the president of Germany is an idiot, or the prime minister is an idiot.
	Oh, you can't say, you can't criticize government.
	Go to jail.
	Because they don't have a First Amendment, you know, of course, in Europe.
	And that's part of the reason why we do have one in the United States, because of how badly things went in Europe for the founding fathers of America.
	I mean, they came to America and they said, the first thing we've got to do is have free speech.
	That's it.
	Make it number one.
	First Amendment.
	And then, what should the Second Amendment be?
	Guns!
	Bigger guns, more guns, cannons, anything.
	Guns for everyone.
	And there's a reason they said that.
	You know why?
	Because they just came from a government that would run around shooting people for no good reason.
	So they're like, yeah, I've got to have guns.
	Not for hunting deer, but to defend ourselves, they said, against the government that they broke away from.
	Think about it.
	Hey, by the way, on the broader topic of theater in general, the new president-elect of Argentina, Javier Millet, yeah, this is also covered by Information Liberation, he traveled to New York City together with the George Soros protege to meet with Chabad Lubavitch, and he put on the What's that called?
	The cap?
	The Jewish cap?
	He says, oh, he's going to the Rebbe.
	What is this?
	The resting place of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory.
	So Malay, who's not a Jew, he's wearing the Jewish cap.
	Isn't that called a yarmulke?
	Is that the correct term?
	He's wearing what I think is called a yarmulke.
	Or wait, it says in the article it's a kippah.
	Is that the right term?
	I apologize, I'm not trying to get that wrong.
	So he's wearing this kippah.
	And he was running around waving the Israeli flag after he won the election.
	And this guy, Malay, is running.
	I mean, he's going out of his way to just...
	It's like virtue signaling that I'm like a Jew wannabe.
	I want to be a Jew.
	I want all the Jews to know I'm all in with all the Jews.
	Like, I'll wear their clothes.
	I'll wave their flags.
	I'll visit their rabbis.
	Like, what does it take?
	I'll...
	Is there anything else he could do?
	And I'm like, dude, aren't you the president-elect of Argentina?
	Not a country of Judaism?
	I mean, who are you representing in this?
	This guy is a clown.
	He says he wants to study Jewish sources.
	And he supports Israel's, quote, right to self-defense.
	So he denounces Hamas terrorism.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, we can all denounce Hamas terrorism.
	But Hamas was created by Israel and the United States.
	So you're denouncing Israel.
	If you denounce Hamas created by the Mossad and the CIA, does that make you anti-Semitic?
	Since Hamas was funded by Israel, actually.
	So I guess he's anti-Semitic now.
	And then he said, I celebrate this beautiful country and pray to God to protect the nation of Argentina so that it can be restored to its former glory.
	Well, I got bad news for you, Malay.
	You hopped on board the dollar bandwagon and the future for Argentina is looking pretty bad, actually.
	Because when the dollar collapses, what's going to happen to your country?
	I mean, this guy, folks, Malay is a plant.
	This guy is an actor.
	He's the Zelensky of Argentina.
	I mean, it's so obvious.
	How can anybody be fooled by this guy?
	Why are conservatives celebrating this guy?
	I mean, he's hanging around with globalists.
	He's waving the Israeli flag, even though he's not even a Jew.
	And he's going to embrace the dollar and reject bricks.
	I mean, this is a globalist Western plant.
	This guy's a total clown.
	All right, let me give you an AI update just to change the subject.
	It was literally yesterday that I said that AI systems, software systems, would take over a lot of journalism jobs.
	And I said specifically that this would happen in sports because it's very easy to write sports stories because, you know, there's not that much that happens.
	Made it to second base, whatever.
	It was caught in the left field or whatever.
	The score is now 3-4.
	Well, it's not difficult to write sports articles for an AI bot.
	So here's a story that just came out.
	It's incredible.
	Literally the next day from futurism.com.
	Sports Illustrated published articles by fake AI-generated writers.
	Okay, they got caught.
	Sports Illustrated got caught using AI writers.
	And then the subhead, quote, we asked them about it and they deleted everything.
	Oh my gosh.
	Here's the story.
	There was nothing in Drew Ortiz's author biography at Sports Illustrated to suggest that he was anything other than human.
	Okay, now, what you're getting here, Sports Illustrated made up a fake person named Drew Ortiz, and they wrote a fake bio.
	It's just an AI bot.
	And on Sports Illustrated, it's like, quote, Drew has spent much of his life outdoors and is excited to guide you through his never-ending list of the best products to keep you from falling to the perils of nature.
	There's rarely a weekend that goes by where Drew isn't out camping, hiking, or just back on his parents' farm.
	Except, of course, Drew Ortiz is an AI bot.
	Outside of Sports Illustrated, Drew Ortiz doesn't seem to exist.
	Writes Futurism here.
	He has no social media presence and no publishing history.
	Even more strangely, his profile photo on Sports Illustrated is for sale on a website that sells AI-generated headshots, where he's described as a, quote, neutral white young adult male with short brown hair and blue eyes.
	So there you go.
	This is an AI-generated Mugshot of an AI author who's writing for Sports Illustrated.
	And so they write that the articles from this fake Sports Illustrated writer sounds like it was written by an alien.
	So one article by Ortiz warns that volleyball, quote, can be a little tricky to get into, especially without an actual ball to practice with.
	What do you mean?
	You don't have a volleyball to practice volleyball?
	See, remember yesterday when I was talking about how AI, the AI chatbots, they do weird things.
	And the more you understand about how these AI generative pre-trained systems, sentence transformation systems actually work, the more you realize it's astonishing that it works at all.
	Essentially, these AI bots are dreaming up details and kind of filling in the blanks using a probability-driven algorithm without any reasoning or cognition whatsoever.
	That's why, I mean...
	I'm running one of these on my desktop right now, kind of an early pilot version of the large language model that we are producing.
	I'll give you an update on that in a second.
	But when I asked it yesterday in the podcast, I asked it in real time, what did I say?
	I said, what, if it takes...
	Five seconds for one ball to be dropped, you know, from a height, five seconds for it to hit the ground, then how long would it take for two balls to hit the ground if you drop them at the same time, right?
	The answer, of course, is, well, five seconds.
	They're going to fall together.
	But the AI chatbot gave this weird explanation, like...
	No, they're going to fall in sequence, therefore it's 5 plus 5, so it's going to be 10 seconds.
	It gave the wrong answer.
	But it sounded okay if you weren't thinking.
	And it turns out AI systems aren't thinking.
	So when Sports Illustrated has an AI robot writing its articles, it's going to say weird stuff.
	Like, you know, it's hard to get into volleyball without an actual ball.
	It's like, what?
	That would be like saying, it's hard to play baseball without a baseball.
	Yeah, no bleep, Sherlock.
	That's why you go get a baseball.
	But again, the AI systems don't reason.
	They do not reason.
	Understand.
	They're not thinking.
	There's no cognition.
	There's no planning.
	There's no reasoning whatsoever.
	They're just spitting out probabilistic word sequences.
	I mean, that's it.
	So Sports Illustrated...
	Has now apparently memory-holed all of this.
	They deleted the articles.
	They deleted the photo.
	They deleted Ortiz.
	Poor guy.
	Drew Ortiz has been wiped!
	Where did he go?
	What happened to Drew?
	He's gone.
	Drew never existed.
	A source at Sports Illustrated told Futurism, quote, the content is absolutely AI-generated.
	No matter how much they say that it's not...
	Oh, man.
	So here's a summary of this.
	And again, I don't care about Sports Illustrated.
	You probably don't either.
	I hadn't even heard of the magazine for probably a couple decades until just this article.
	This is the last magazine I would ever read.
	But let me read this paragraph for you because this is you're going to see this across many areas.
	You're going to see journalism, so-called journalism, taken over by AI bots.
	And you need to be able to spot the difference.
	But here's from this article, quote, now that it's under the management of the arena group, parts of the magazine talking about Sports Illustrated seem to have devolved into a Potemkin village in which phony writers are cooked up out of thin air.
	Outfitted with equally bogus biographies and expertise to win readers trust and used to pump out AI generated buying guides that are monetized by affiliate links to products that provide a financial kickback when readers click them.
	See, and then making the whole thing even more dubious, these AI generated personas are periodically scrubbed from existence in favor of new ones.
	For example, Ortiz disappeared from the site entirely.
	His profile page now directed to that of someone named Sora Tanaka.
	But Sora Tanaka appears to not exist either.
	Because...
	Her face shot is also for sale on the AI Headshot Marketplace, where she's listed as a, quote, joyful Asian young adult female with long brown hair and blue eyes.
	Sora has always been a fitness guru, right?
	This is Sports Illustrated, and loves to try different foods and drinks.
	Yeah, give me a break.
	Mrs.
	Tanaka, or Ms.
	Tanaka, is thrilled to bring her fitness and nutritional expertise to the product reviews team and promises to bring you nothing but the best of the best.
	Yeah, except she's all fake!
	There is no Tanaka!
	But this is also happening in financial media from the same story here.
	They talk about the street.
	This is the publication co-founded by Jim Cramer.
	Arena Group bought it for $16.5 million.
	And as futurism writes, quote, And their articles reattributed to new names with no disclosure about the use of AI. Sometimes the street's efforts to remove
	the fake writers can be sloppy.
	On its review section title page, the site proudly flaunts the expertise of AI-generated contributors who have since been deleted, linking to writer profiles that it describes as ranging from stay-at-home dads to computer and information analysts.
	The team is comprised of a well-rounded group of people who bring varying backgrounds and experiences to the table.
	Yeah, really?
	It's all fake, folks.
	In fact, you know what?
	There is another story.
	I've got to find this one.
	There's an AI group that came up with this supposedly sexy Spanish influencer.
	Oh, here it is.
	This is from Euronews.com.
	The Spanish influencer...
	I gotta show you this picture.
	Because she's fake too.
	Doesn't exist.
	Pink hair.
	Like a sports bra top or something.
	Check out this photo.
	Here she is.
	So here she is.
	With, you know, imperfect skin and everything.
	Her name is Aitana, an exuberant 25-year-old pink-haired woman from Barcelona, receives weekly private messages from celebrities asking her out, but this model is not real.
	She was created by her designers using AI. So Ruben Cruz is her designer and the founder of the agency called The Clueless, which actually seems like the most accurate name imaginable.
	He said, we started analyzing how we were working and realized that many projects were being put on hold or canceled due to problems beyond our control.
	Often it was the fault of the influencer or the model, and so they decided to create their own influencer.
	So they created Itana, a 25-year-old pink-haired woman whose physical appearance is, quote, close to perfection.
	The model earns 10,000 euros a month.
	Hey, that's almost enough to pay the fine for the German-Israeli hoaxer, by the way.
	According to her creator, but she averages around €3,000 a month, we did it so we could make a better living and not be dependent on other people who have egos or who have manias.
	Did he just say that beautiful female influencers have egos?
	No!
	No!
	Couldn't be.
	No, that would never happen.
	Or who have manias.
	Oh, yes, he's definitely talking about good-looking female influencers.
	Quote, or who just want to make a lot of money by posing.
	Oh, well, there you go.
	So she earns a thousand euros per advert.
	And she's become the face of BIG, a sports supplement company.
	And she uploads photos of herself in lingerie to FanView, a platform similar to OnlyFans.
	So I guess at some point they're going to have like AI influencer porn, right?
	Oh boy, you know, what an amazing world we live in now.
	So the fact that this is even happening in our world is...
	It makes me lose faith in humanity because apparently, if you just have a certain look, if you're young and beautiful and you have the right curves, then all the brands want to sponsor you to just be their brand prostitute, basically.
	Go online and say how good the sports drink is, you know?
	Here, here's 5,000 euros.
	Can you show a little more skin on this one?
	I mean...
	This is some sick, twisted stuff.
	This is one of the uses of AI that, of course, I am wholly opposed to.
	And for my own AI project, of course, I'm using it for the betterment of humanity.
	Not to generate, like, sexy influencer models to promote the latest skincare cosmetics loaded with lead or something.
	No, um...
	The project I'm working on, and I want to thank you for all your feedback from my announcement on Monday.
	We are building an AI chatbot system, essentially a large language model that will be open source, downloadable for free.
	The anticipated release date is late March of 2024, and we're involved in intensive training of this model.
	On the subject of nutrition and phytonutrients, herbal medicine, indigenous medicine, alternative therapies and so on.
	So we're taking a large language model, basically a base layer model as a starting point and we're doing a lot of fine tuning training with specific topics in which we have a lot of expertise.
	This is a very human intensive process actually and it's going to be rather costly and it's going to take quite a bit of time and Frankly, the first model that we release may not be as awesome as we want it to be.
	I mean, I'm sure it's not going to be.
	It's not going to be 100% of what we want.
	So we're going to continue to iterate and release additional updates.
	But the first update will still be very capable, by the way.
	And I think you're going to really enjoy interacting with it.
	You'll be able to download it for free and run it locally.
	Which means you don't even need an internet connection.
	You don't have to send queries across the internet or to the cloud or to Google or anybody spying on you.
	And we're not spying on you because you can run this thing offline.
	I mean, we're not even providing the software.
	We're just providing the language model.
	You can run it on many different pieces of software that you can download.
	So this is going to be a game changer.
	Now, I do want to mention that At some point here, we're probably going to ask you to help us by simply submitting questions that you want this chat bot to answer.
	So as part of our training, we need to have a lot of questions, like 10,000 questions.
	And then we actually have to use our human talent, our writing staff, to answer those 10,000 questions, let's say.
	In order to train the AI system.
	We're doing some of that internally right now, but we need more questions.
	So probably pretty soon we're going to put up a public page that just asks you to submit questions.
	And that's it.
	Just give us some questions.
	Questions that you want the system to answer, like, what are the best herbs for insomnia or something, you know?
	Or what nutrients can stop migraine headaches?
	I don't know.
	All kinds of questions that you want to ask.
	You give us questions.
	We will use that to train the model.
	And then we'll release the model for free.
	And then you can ask the model in the privacy of your own home.
	And we won't even know what you're asking.
	So this is a really exciting project for me personally.
	In fact, I should probably warn you, I may be cutting back on my interviews For the next three months just so I can spend more time on this project.
	Seriously, I'm about to make that call.
	Just because when I'm doing interviews, I can't stop thinking about the AI project.
	I mean, apologies to the people I'm interviewing, but I'm so distracted by the concepts of what we are applying in this large language model system.
	And, you know, this is something I began working in this area 15 years ago.
	When I wrote essentially a language parser system, statistical analysis system to build the websites that you can go visit right now like herbreference.com or nutrientreference.com, I wrote all the code to build all those sites.
	I did all the data aggregation and those sites are still there.
	That's why my photo on those sites is like 15 years old because that's when I did that.
	But then AI systems have evolved dramatically in the last two years.
	Bringing to the forefront what I really wanted to do back in 2007-2008 time frame.
	And so I've decided to pick this back up again, knowing what I know from then and learning about today's AI systems or generative pre-trained transformers, GPT, as they're known.
	And what I'm learning is extremely profound and shocking even.
	That I had assumed, when I first heard about ChatGPT and these AI systems, I had assumed that there was a, you know, neural network language analysis system that would understand the semantic structures of sentences, that would understand these are verbs, these are nouns, these are adjectives, and so on.
	These are connectors, conjugations, all these kinds of things, and that it would parse the structure of the sentence.
	And from that, it would derive meaning.
	And then they would have an abstraction layer of a hierarchical meaning tree, let's say.
	And from that, then when you ask it a question, it would derive the intent of the question.
	And then in composing its answer, it would have an internal motivator and a planner, like a reasoning algorithm, in order to logically answer the question that is being asked.
	Like, that's how I thought, I just assumed that that's how ChatGPT must have worked.
	And it's nothing like that.
	It doesn't do that at all.
	It does nothing of the kind.
	It's actually stupidly simple, what ChatGPT does.
	What's the best way to explain it?
	All that ChatGPT does or any of these GPT systems, including the language model that we're going to release, all it does is it starts writing an answer and it simply predicts the next word, one word at a time.
	And it writes one word at a time using a predictive statistical analysis algorithm.
	That is based on terabytes of other words and sentences and phrases that it has spidered up and built a bunch of parameters around.
	And these chat GPT systems, including from OpenAI and so on, they don't do any reasoning.
	There's no cognition.
	There's no understanding of sentence structures, none whatsoever.
	The chat GPT system that can write your resignation letter for you, it doesn't even know what a verb is.
	It doesn't.
	It doesn't know what a noun is.
	It has no such knowledge.
	It doesn't have any knowledge.
	It's simply, you could say, dreaming a sequence of words that seem to reflect patterns of words that it had already scraped up before.
	That's all it's doing.
	For example, if you say, I'm going to huff and puff and blow your house, and you end there, which actually sounds a little bit profane.
	I don't know how you would blow a house, but if you ask the GPT system, like, what word comes next, it would go through its parameters and database, not even a database, but a bunch of parameters, and it would say, 99% chance the next word is down.
	I will huff and puff and blow your house down.
	Of course, from Little Red Riding Hood right there.
	Thankfully, the children's story did not end with, I will huff and puff and blow your house.
	That would not be appropriate, except maybe a drag queen story time, perhaps, with the twerking perverts.
	But I'm getting distracted from the point here.
	Apologies.
	All the GPT system does is it fills in the next most likely word.
	That's literally all it does.
	I know, it sounds stupidly simple.
	And the other thing that I have come to realize in studying this and applying knowledge into large language models here, what I've come to learn, is that the people who built these systems and the people who run them, they don't know how they work either.
	In fact, they're kind of shocked that these GPT systems can spit out text that seems to make a lot of sense.
	But then...
	Then I got to thinking about Mark Dice and when he interviews people on the street.
	You've seen the Mark Dice videos when he's on the, I don't know, he's out the beach in California or wherever, the boardwalk, and he's asking people questions like, you know, who's the president of the United States?
	And these morons just start spewing a series of words.
	You ask them, like, what continent are you on?
	They're like, I think I'm on the continent of...
	You know, California, or whatever.
	They just start spitting out words.
	And I was thinking, there's a very strong similarity between the answers that Mark Dice...
	I can't call them victims.
	Participants, Mark Dice participants, what they do, the way they just spit out words without any cognition, that's how chat GPT works, actually.
	It's almost exactly the same.
	The typical person actually is an NPC. Non-player character, no cognition, no consciousness.
	They are simply regurgitating patterns of words that they've heard in the past.
	Like...
	I'm going to take the jab.
	I follow the science.
	You've heard that, right?
	Those are NPCs saying that.
	They heard that and they regurgitate it.
	That's what ChatGPT does.
	Except ChatGPT has hoovered up terabytes of words and phrases and sentences and questions and comments and answers.
	So it's heard everything.
	Practically almost everything that humans have ever written, at least whatever's online.
	Like every website, all together, all jammed up together.
	The system has read it all.
	Whereas your average idiot on the street has only lived a few years and only has a certain number of limited patterns that they can say.
	Which is why they sound like idiots when Mark Dice hands them the microphone and asks them questions like, I will give you this gold one ounce coin for your ice cream cone.
	Would you take the trade?
	And the person's like, no, I like my ice cream cone, you know?
	And that's the actual thing that happened.
	I think that was Mark Dice that did that.
	And it was like a chocolate bar, ice cream cone or whatever.
	But these people have no cognition, is my point.
	So they function like NPCs.
	They can be replaced by AI, and no one would know the difference.
	Seriously, have you thought about that?
	And then that brings you to the question of the simulation theory of reality.
	Are we living in a giant...
	Computer or computational simulation right now.
	And in this simulation, are there non-player characters who are literally AI bots that play the roles of flesh and blood human beings?
	I mean, there's a question for you.
	And are only some of us actually sentient?
	Probably those of you listening to this, right?
	Only some of us maybe have consciousness.
	And others might be NPCs.
	At least that's one of the Possible theories of the simulation theory.
	And then when I began to understand that the AI systems, they produce what appears to be cognition, meaning out of nothing but a statistical analysis of the mathematics of tokens.
	Not even words, just tokens.
	It doesn't even have to be a whole word.
	So-called tokens can be partial words.
	I mean, the chat GPT system doesn't even know it's writing a word.
	It's just writing tokens.
	It could be five characters, part of a word.
	But the fact that the math carries with it what appears to you and I to be cognition, like, wow, this answer actually makes sense.
	That says something to me very profound about the structure of the cosmos.
	It says to me that language is math, And math encodes meaning.
	Think about that.
	It's a very profound realization.
	It hit me like a ton of bricks.
	Language is math, and math imparts meaning.
	And that in a simulation, you would expect mathematics to be the driving carrier of information.
	Which is exactly what is being expressed through the AI chatbots.
	In fact, working with the AI systems is kind of like peeling back a little bit a layer of the matrix.
	Being able to peer into the code of the matrix just a little bit and to read the code maybe a little more directly and to drop some of the illusions of the world around us.
	There's so many areas to talk about here.
	I'm not going to go into it because I'm out of time.
	I want to get to the interview, but Most people, when they talk, they think they're making amazing sense.
	And most of them are not making any sense.
	But again, they think they're making amazing sense.
	They are regurgitating generative words, phrases, sentences that they were exposed to previously.
	They're acting like AI bots.
	But again, they think they're making amazing sense.
	But as you've come to learn in interacting with so many people or perhaps listening to different people, there are only a few people who actually really make sense.
	And yet there's a lot of talkers who make no sense at all, who are simply just regurgitating garbage.
	And it turns out we don't need human beings to do that.
	We can do that on Windows.
	Now, if you're ever...
	to have people babble nonsense around you, you can just go subscribe to ChatGPT on OpenAI and just ask it questions.
	There's even AI systems that can function as therapists now, by the way.
	Did you know that?
	If you're spending a fortune visiting a therapist, I understand that therapists are now charging crazy amounts I know of one therapist in the Midwest who apparently bills $150 an hour.
	I didn't know that therapy costs that much these days.
	But did you know you can just unload your questions on an open AI therapist module?
	Or there's open source therapist modules.
	I haven't tried them, but I imagine...
	They would give you a lot of the same introspection.
	I'm not trying to say that therapists don't add value.
	They do.
	I do want to be clear, and good therapists understand the humanity of their clients, and they express humanity and sympathy, which computers cannot do.
	But I'm just saying that if you want some help, some feedback to think through some issues, you want to talk with somebody, You could try talking to an AI system and it might actually prompt you to think about things that could help you through it.
	If that doesn't work, then yeah, go see a human therapist and try not to have sex with them because I hear that happens a lot as well.
	At least that won't happen with the AI system, hopefully.
	Or who knows, go visit the OnlyFans page of this made-up Spanish AI model that everybody keeps asking out.
	Hey, she doesn't exist, man.
	You're living a pipe dream.
	It's not only that she's out of your league, she's out of the league of humanity.
	You know, the other thought on this whole...
	I'm sorry, I'm going to wrap this up, but I was just thinking, why would anybody have to go online to follow a supermodel just to look at pictures of this model?
	When...
	You can probably do this now, but certainly very soon, you can just have your own AI generative, like, supermodel generator.
	And you can just type in what you want to see.
	I mean, give me, you know, what is this, a Spanish girl with pink hair and, like, plump lips or whatever.
	Voluptuous or whatever.
	Whatever you're into.
	I don't know.
	Man or woman.
	Give me a handsome man who isn't drunk.
	You know, whatever.
	And they can generate all the photos for you.
	Whatever you want.
	Show her on a beach.
	There you go.
	Show her in a cafe.
	There you go.
	Why do you have to go anywhere?
	If you just want to have visual imagery, there's AI agents that can create whatever you want.
	Spanish pink-haired supermodel in a space suit on the moon.
	Drinking a Kool-Aid with a straw through the space suit helmet.
	Yeah, you could type that in.
	And there's an AI image generator that would make that image.
	You know what?
	I'm just going to do this myself.
	I'm going to go to OpenAI here and use their image generator right now and type that in.
	Create a photorealistic image of a pink-haired Spanish young supermodel with plump lips.
	Drinking Kool-Aid through a straw wearing a space suit on the moon.
	Okay?
	How about that?
	I'll show you what that is.
	Stand by.
	All right, here's the image.
	Yeah, look, it's a pink-haired something.
	It's a pink-haired drinking out of a straw wearing a space suit on the moon with, like, what are those breast magnets or something?
	What is that?
	So this is what AI just generated.
	So anyway, you see my point?
	You can just have it generate whatever image you want.
	You think this chick could earn 10,000 euros a month?
	You know, like on a sports drink brand or something.
	I suck down sports drink on the moon, you know, says a hot Spanish supermodel with pink hair and breast magnets.
	Yeah, could be.
	Could be.
	Maybe this could be a whole new career, generating supermodel images.
	What happened to her left eye?
	Look at that.
	That eye is all jacked up.
	Looks like it got hit by a fast-moving meteorite, actually.
	Looks like her left eye exploded.
	The one thing about AI image generators is they very often give people way too many fingers.
	If you notice, if you look at her fingers right now, holding that cup, looks like she's got...
	Something's all jacked up.
	There's a thumb in the middle, kind of.
	She's got an alien hand right there, and her eye's all jacked up.
	Something happened to the nose.
	But this is, again, this is kind of like a dream, that AI is dreaming this up.
	And this is kind of like a nightmare, actually.
	But this is what it can do.
	And you can do this in all kinds of different styles, like watercolor or whatever if you want.
	Pretty wild stuff, huh?
	All right, with that said, I'm going to wrap this up.
	I do want to encourage you to continue supporting us at healthrangerstore.com with our product offerings, which are storable food, lab-tested food and supplements, superfoods, personal care products.
	Preparedness products, you know, a whole lot more, because that's what's funding our AI project, which does not involve a pink-haired Spanish supermodel sucking down soft drinks on the moon.
	Instead, our project is going to give you the tools to ask questions about health and nutrients and herbs and, you know, all kinds of holistic modalities, and you'll have that tool at your fingertips free of charge within probably 120 days or maybe even a little bit less.
	So that's what we're doing.
	When you support us, it gives us more resources to hire more people to do more training and build out our infrastructure for human freedom and personal empowerment, liberty, health, abundance, prosperity, all of that.
	These are the values that we believe in.
	So thank you for your support.
	With that said, here is the interview I promised here that you're going to love with Peter Koenig.
	Enjoy it, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com and this is going to be one that you will not forget.
	We're bringing on now for the first time Mr.
	Peter Koenig who worked with the World Bank.
	He's an economist, he's an author, and he worked with the WHO, and he even wrote a book that was published, I believe, back in 2008, kind of telling the story of what really goes on behind the scenes in the World Bank and in these financial quasi-government institutions that exercise kind of telling the story of what really goes on behind the scenes in the World Bank and in these financial quasi-government institutions
	And he is a specialist in water, which, of course, means he has a lot of experience in the Middle East where water is obviously perhaps the most precious resource of all, even more than oil.
	But he joins us today for an in-depth discussion about what's happening right now with Israel and Palestine and Hamas and the bombing and so much more.
	And welcome, Mr.
	Koenig.
	It's an honor, sir, to have you on the show today.
	Thank you very much, Mike.
	Call me Peter.
	Okay.
	It's an honor for me to be on your show, really.
	Well, thank you so much.
	I'll call you Peter.
	And let's begin with a little bit of your background that you worked in.
	I mean, you did research and studies.
	An analysis in Gaza with the Palestinian people.
	Can we start there?
	Just give us a little bit about your experience in the region, and then I have a long list of other questions to follow up with.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, in the 90s, I was working actually in the Middle East for about seven years, you know, in the World Bank.
	You shift around from one region to another.
	And for about seven years I worked in the Middle East, which means all the way from Morocco to Yemen and in between.
	And one of the countries in between, which I actually liked very much to work in, was Palestine.
	And that meant that we worked on water.
	I was sometimes leader of a team on a water project.
	We actually did what I thought quite a good water project in Gaza, Gaza City and beyond, and made a study.
	And that's maybe of most importance now for most people who don't know it.
	We made a study.
	A water study of water availability in the whole Palestine-Israel area.
	Where is the water and who is actually on top of the water and who owns the water?
	And lo and behold, I mean, the study took about four weeks.
	We were a team of three and went all over the place, couldn't get much information, but had some insider who helped us.
	And lo and behold, I would say about 80%, maybe a little bit less, but let's say 80% of all the water in that area is either on or below the territories of Palestine,
	which was one of the reasons we found out later on that Israel never wanted to honor The Oslo Agreements, because the Oslo Agreements, one of the precepts of the Oslo Agreements was that the two countries at that time were not two countries, but they were supposed to become two countries, would be autonomous and responsible for managing their own resources, their own land.
	Which meant, of course, that Palestine was in control of about 80% of all the water in the region.
	And that was unacceptable for Israel, which was actually one of the reasons that they never, not the only reason, but that was one of the key reasons why they never wanted to accept the Oslo agreement.
	Can I... Yeah, if I may just finish this point.
	We wrote a report about that.
	And the report normally goes to any of these reports, normally go to the board and when they are ratified, they receive what we call a grey cover and are publicly available.
	Now, this report was just ready to go to the board when I got a call from, I think, the USED's office saying that they vetoed the report.
	They were not accepted and should not be presented.
	Obviously, they represented the point of view of Israel.
	So this report became even more popular then because it was the so-called draft version and everybody wanted a copy of it.
	Wow.
	That was really funny.
	So what year did this take place where the report was in its draft version?
	Maybe 96, 97.
	I couldn't tell you exactly anymore.
	Okay, but during the Clinton administration.
	Yes.
	Okay, so bombshell then that this report showed, like you said, that 80% or just below 80% of the water was controlled by areas that you referred to as Palestine.
	Now, are you referring to areas of the West Bank as well as Gaza Strip?
	Can you be more specific about the geography of what you're referring to?
	Right, it was mostly the West Bank.
	Because Gaza is really very, very short on water.
	Although they do have, if I remember correctly, one or two, particularly one very considerably large aquifer.
	But precisely where that aquifer is, the Israelis set up a settlement.
	So the aquifer was then also out of control by the Palestinians.
	But Gaza did have some water, but most of these 80% that I'm talking about was in the West Bank, or is in the West Bank.
	Okay, and then of course in the years since, especially since 1967, Israel has sort of meticulously settled and taken over more and more of the West Bank, kind of shrinking the areas that ethnic Palestinians are able to control.
	We'll get to that in more detail.
	But Peter, give me a moment.
	Let me provide some context to our audience about the importance of water in the region, because most of our audience is in the United States, which is a very water, for the most part, very water-rich in most areas.
	And we almost take it for granted.
	You know, we have states that are filled with lakes, you know, like Michigan.
	It's just endless lakes and rivers and so on.
	In the Middle East, it's a very different scene.
	And water is crucial for national security and also economic growth.
	So I just want to point out to our audience that with water you can support a larger population because every human being consumes a certain amount of water per day.
	It is unavoidable just for basic needs, you know, cooking, showering, bathing, toilets, whatever.
	In addition, water is used by industry.
	So the more water supply you have for a country, the more you can engage in manufacturing.
	And that boosts GDP, of course, and exports and so on.
	In addition, the more obvious point is water for food resources.
	Obviously, you need a tremendous amount of water to grow crops.
	And if you don't have food, you can't feed your population.
	So is there anything I'm leaving out of that, Peter, that you'd like to add of the value and the strategic importance of water resources?
	No, you exactly said the three main components, drinking water, industrial water, and water for food, for agriculture, which is everywhere in the world actually the largest proportion.
	And what we call developing countries, it is by far the largest proportion because They use more water.
	They are not yet sufficient in the water used for agriculture than we do in the West.
	And all of that has, of course, very specific reasons.
	Which are planned, but we are not going into these.
	But you're right, you know, on average it's between 70 and 80 percent of the water use is for agriculture, and then maybe about 10 or 15 percent or 20 percent for industry, and the rest is for drinking purposes.
	I see.
	So, do you believe then, big question, I'm sure our audience is asking this too, do you believe that control over water resources is part of the motivation of the Greater Israel Plan of expansion that is currently involving, of course, a tremendous amount of kinetic conflict?
	I think it may be one of the foreground reasons.
	But, you know, Israel over the years, especially you mentioned 67, especially since 67, the oppression on Palestine grew stronger and stronger and the settlements grew larger and larger.
	And the control of the water, which nobody objected.
	You know, the West didn't object and the Palestinians didn't have a voice.
	You know, nothing happened.
	Nobody opposed that.
	So they had already the water they needed, not necessarily all of it.
	So then more water was needed.
	That is not necessarily the big picture reason for Israel going into this war.
	I think there are...
	I have three points, three major reasons for that.
	And these are mostly neglected and not even mentioned or not put in context, actually.
	That's what my feeling is.
	I'd love to hear those three points.
	Anyway, you know, lately I've been talking to some people who also claim to be very much informed about what's going on.
	They say, well, this ceasefire is a win.
	It's a big win for Hamas.
	And, you know, they have been able to negotiate or to push Israel into accepting a ceasefire.
	I don't think at all.
	I mean, this is strategic and this has not much to do.
	I mean, Hamas, first of all, Hamas, we know that, is a creation of Israel and the United States, actually, just a few days ago.
	Very interesting.
	I saw a little video clip from Ron Paul in Congress saying that we created Hamas.
	I've seen that clip.
	Yes, I've seen the same clip.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	So the story is clear.
	Hamas was created in 1987 for strategic reasons, from both points of view for Israel and for the United States.
	There is a symbiotic relationship between The US and Israel has been existing for as long as Israel exists.
	So the bigger picture actually has these three points.
	The first of all that I would like to mention is that the Zionists, when they set up Israel, they saw themselves not only as the chosen people, but they also wanted to have the chosen country, and the chosen country There is a larger Israel, and there are actually maps of a larger Israel.
	You may have seen them too.
	They stretch as far east and southeast to cover about half of Saudi Arabia, a big portion of Syria, and of course all of Jordania, and a big portion of Iraq.
	You know, you can imagine what that means.
	That means a third to 50% of what we call today the Middle East.
	And that contains, say, also I would say probably close to 50%, maybe less, maybe 40% of all the hydrocarbons, known hydrocarbons in the world.
	I mean, Russia has enormous amounts which are maybe not totally known.
	But of what is known, I think it's easily 30 to 40 percent of all the hydrocarbons in the world.
	That would be under control of Israel if the larger Israel would actually happen.
	That's one of the reasons.
	That's the first point.
	Maybe that I would like to make, but they're all congruent.
	They're all sticking together.
	You cannot mention the one without mentioning the other.
	The second one is that about 2000, I think 1999, British Gas has discovered huge deposits of gas offshore of Gaza, probably about 20 kilometers or so Maybe 30 kilometers offshore of Gaza.
	Enormous amounts, a trillion cubic feet of, they say a trillion cubic feet of gas buried under the sea.
	Now, of course, if they say a trillion, My estimate and all indications that I have read and known of is that they are much, much more than a trillion.
	But it will be, I think, undiplomatic and unstrategic to talk about that, about the larger quantities already now.
	So they would like to get a hold, basically confiscate this trillion and more cubic meter of gas in the Mediterranean, of course.
	There's some gas and some oil also in the north of the Gaza area, which belongs to Israel, but not as much, by far not as much.
	So this enormous amount of gas would happily be confiscated by Israel and belong to Israel to be distributed and sold to the West, because the West is hell-bent to keep sanctioning Russia And without hydrocarbon, despite all the global warming, global climate change stuff, nobody can survive today without hydrocarbon.
	That's right.
	Hydrocarbons, I've just looked it up again.
	I mean, I've studied it before in about 1992, you know, when this first conference on the weather On the climate, actually, was sponsored by the UN in Rio.
	At that time, of all the energy used in the world, about 87% came from hydrocarbons, transformed into electricity and whatever you want.
	Today, despite all these, by now, 27 conferences on how to reduce CO2 from hydrocarbons, still 85% of all the energy comes from hydrocarbons.
	These 2% are well within the margin of error.
	Right.
	In other words, nothing has changed.
	Everything is blah, blah.
	And also, whoever controls the hydrocarbons has both strategic control as well as massive wealth generation.
	Absolutely.
	As Saudi Arabia enjoys right now, or as Russia enjoys right now.
	Even with the sanctions, of course, Russia is very successfully trading oil well above the $60 a barrel price ceiling that was set.
	Russia's trading.
	Russia's selling oil and gas, even with the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines, which I believe was carried out by the West.
	Absolutely.
	Russia is experiencing extreme wealth right now because of its energy exports.
	And in a sense, the sanctions and now war in the Middle East will only make hydrocarbons more valuable, which will be more wealth for Russia.
	It's a fascinating feedback loop that's taking place here, which I think in many cases is backfiring on the West.
	What are your thoughts?
	Yes, I just read the other day that Russia has a $27 billion equivalent surplus while the U.S. keeps increasing its debt to, I think, about $33 trillion right now.
	So it's a crazy world.
	Almost $34 trillion.
	But don't forget, the unfunded liabilities have now exceeded $211 trillion.
	Exactly.
	They're about 10 or 11 times larger.
	And I look always at those because that's what really counts, the unfunded liabilities.
	And about 40 or by now maybe even more than 50% of these unfunded liabilities are interest on debt.
	Because the Federal Reserve is a privately owned institution and every dollar they create or let banks create is a debt which has to be paid interest on.
	The unfounded liabilities are much more important than the current debt.
	Okay, now, your third point, you've given us two out of three, I believe, and I'm sorry to interrupt there, but what's your third point?
	Okay, the third point is the Ben-Gurion Canal.
	You may have heard about that too, of course.
	Ben-Gurion Canal was in the planning since the early 70s.
	I think the first plans started coming out in 71.
	And it is a canal which would, if it succeeds, I'm not sure, I hope not, If it succeeds, it would compete with the Suez Canal.
	Suez Canal has been nationalized by Egypt, an Arab country, even though they have contracts with the West.
	You know, it's much better if Israel has such a canal, which is totally controlled by the West.
	This canal would lead just from, I believe, outside or maybe even within the borders of current Gaza from the Mediterranean through Israel and Palestine to the Red Sea.
	It's about three times as long as the current Suez Canal and would then be ideal to ship exactly that kind of trillions plus cubic feet of gas To the customers out in Asia.
	It would be ideal.
	So the three go together and paint the big picture, which I think is really the reason why now, on a very crucial date, the 7th of October was of course all planned and coordinated with Hamas.
	On the 7th of October, I think the 6th of October was the 70th, the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, I believe.
	So anyway, all these days are not by coincidence and they happened as a plan and I think we have to see that together.
	If Hamas has made a win, a so-called win, by pushing Israel into accepting a ceasefire, which I've understood correctly has just been extended by another two days to further exchange prisoners, then this is just temporary and it is a strategic move from Israel.
	But Israel is so well equipped by the West, And supported by the West.
	There's no way if they want to carry on a war against Hamas, they will carry it on.
	So the other thing that has to be mentioned also is that if some people are rooting very heavily for Palestine or for Israel, it's a Tavistock theory or actually system to divide, to conquer.
	Instead of doing that, we should all vouch for peace rather than for one side or the other to win.
	There's no win to a war.
	There's no win to this war.
	There's no win to any war, actually.
	You mean we can't bomb our way to peace?
	Because that's what I'm hearing from the Western media.
	If we could just drop enough bombs, we would eventually have peace.
	Yeah.
	It's insane.
	Now, in fact, along those lines, I mean, I have so many questions for you, especially as an economist.
	I want to ask you about an energy dynamic.
	But first, I want to ask you about the Palestinian people.
	Because I know you spent a considerable amount of time there as part of your research into water and so on.
	The people of Gaza, the Palestinian people.
	According to the Western media, and especially Israeli media...
	And I disagree with what I'm about to say, but the Western media and Israeli media describe Palestinians as animals.
	They describe them as dirty, low IQ, unethical, violent, terrorists, and we even hear many Israeli leaders saying that there are no innocent people in Gaza, not even a three-year-old child.
	The three-year-old child is apparently incredibly evil, And wants to murder innocent Israelis, and perhaps a three-year-old Palestinian is capable of carrying an RPG. So I want to know, what was your first-hand experience with the Palestinian people?
	Well, of course, I know what you're saying.
	That's exactly what you hear and read, and I think you...
	Maybe the Western people are stupid enough to believe that, but this is so absolutely unnecessarily crazy.
	The Palestinian peoples are, from what I've seen, probably the best educated Arabs.
	They are highly educated, many of them pretty much like Israelis.
	You know, they go to school elsewhere.
	They have been educated, most of them, not all of them in the West, some of them in Eastern countries, in Russia, even in India.
	In China, but they are highly educated.
	And when they come back, they are dedicated to their country.
	And, you know, they are very loving people, but they are not at all violent.
	As I said at the beginning, when we spoke together, some of them have become very, very good friends.
	And unfortunately, over the many years I've lost contact to them, but for many years after I stopped working in Gaza and in Palestine, I kept contact with them and kept up what's happening there.
	So I would say exactly the contrary.
	They are very highly educated people.
	They have high IQs.
	At least as high as many of the Europeans, particularly those of our Western friends or enemies, whatever you call them, Europe and the United States.
	So they're very well educated, they have very good manners, they are friendly, and they know what love is instead of war.
	They have been oppressed for long enough that they know that fighting and wars will never lead to anything.
	So I think just exactly the contrary.
	That would be my testimony that I witnessed as working there, as a friend of them.
	Well, thank you for sharing that with us.
	I have repeatedly called for peace and repeatedly called to recognize the humanitarian rights of every person, regardless of their ethnicity or country of origin and so on, or skin color or what have you.
	And as you have probably noticed, since October 7th, we are living in an increasingly radicalized world where calling for peace gets you labeled an anti-Semite.
	Exactly.
	Because apparently only continued, never-ending bombing is acceptable now to the official narrative.
	And I find that completely unacceptable, and I wholeheartedly reject that.
	What about you or your thoughts?
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, it's crazy thinking that you bomb a country and you will achieve peace.
	It's so nonsensical, but it has been indoctrinated in the West so much that really many people say, well, if we bomb them enough, we will eventually reach peace.
	Yes, that's like George Orwell's 1984.
	I think what we have reached by now is even way beyond 1984.
	Yes, yeah.
	I mean, we're living in a world which is so absurd, so absurd that sometimes you have to shake your head and ask, what are we?
	Have we absolutely lost all our minds and spirits and spiritual thinking?
	It's totally crazy that we reach that point and nobody objects really seriously against it.
	Well, we object.
	Well, we are.
	I hope, Mike, we eventually will prevail.
	I believe we will.
	But, you know, you're an expert in water, right?
	So let me just, the equivalent of this in water would be to say, we're going to keep dropping, let's say, hexavalent chromium into this lake until it's clean.
	We're just going to keep dumping mercury into this river until the river is clean.
	And we're just going to keep bombing until we have peace.
	I mean, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
	You can't pollute your way to clean water.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	That's exactly what's happening.
	And that's happening on many, many different fronts.
	And these different fronts, of course, are not coincidences like the climate change agenda.
	It has so many fronts itself.
	That we can be tricked into believing something.
	I have very good friends who are scientists who believe in this story, even though there are true scientists who say if human beings have contributed anything to it, it is less than 0.3%.
	0.3% are absorbed by the sea.
	It's actually a perfect balance that Mother Earth has put in place You know, most of the climate is anyway, about 97%, according to serious scientists, of all the weather patterns and the cycles and the climate cycles that we live on Mother Earth are influenced by solar activity.
	Exactly.
	And I think there's absolutely no doubt about it.
	And within these larger cycles, there are smaller cycles.
	And of course what we are living now, because they have to make believe the people that we are living in a climate change world.
	So what they are doing is geoengineering the weather.
	And this is just extraordinary what is happening.
	I've just recently seen a very brief video where an MIT expert talks about how that is done.
	Yes.
	And about a year ago, I attended a conference in Switzerland which was addressing several controversial topics.
	One of them was climate change.
	The professor who spoke to us, he was a professor from the famous Technical University ETH in Zurich.
	He was a physicist.
	Who concentrated on geoengineering.
	So what he started his speech with, he said, I think I don't have to tell anyone of you that our climate is manipulated, but I will try to explain to you how it's done.
	And then he went on with a series of patents.
	Actually, all these chemicals that are put in the air are patented.
	And now with the HARP system, you don't even, you know, this works with the electromagnetic shocks, apparently.
	Shocks so strong that you can create earthquakes.
	And from what I know, and many people will agree with that, some of these earthquakes, like the Turkey one, the Turkey-Syria one, or the more recent one in Morocco, and the 2010 one in Haiti were artificially created, and probably many in between.
	Maybe also Afghanistan.
	And so this can be done.
	This keeps the people busy and running and, you know, snowfall and hail in the Arabian desert.
	It's absolutely crazy from one day to another.
	From 100 degrees Fahrenheit to below zero.
	And with hailstorms, that's nonsense.
	That's absolute nonsense.
	So this is manufactured artificially and made believe that we are living in a climate change that we have to be punished for it.
	So that's where we're going.
	I'm glad you're speaking about this.
	Our audience is well informed on this topic.
	In fact, I want to ask you a question involving climate and energy and economics.
	But this gets us back to the Middle East, which is a resource grab, is one layer of what's going on, control over hydrocarbons and also control over the export routes, the shipping routes for moving hydrocarbons, LNG, for example.
	But here's the question.
	What we see in the West, because of the climate change agenda, for the last easily 10 to 20 years, we've seen Western countries, Western Europe, the United States, Canada, and so on, dismantle their own energy infrastructure for discovery, extraction, and transportation of energy.
	And then even the destruction of the Nord Stream Pipeline, by the way, which is crippling Germany's economy, as you are well aware, But at the same time that Western countries are shutting down their own domestic energy infrastructure, and even the construction of wind and solar is only a minor, minor part of compensating for that.
	It's very, as you know, it's very tiny, and solar doesn't work when the sun isn't out, and it turns out that's about half the time overall, seasonally adjusted, right?
	But depending on where you are on the planet.
	Plus, solar panel has to be set, also, and windmills.
	They contribute more against the climate and against the environment than they do for the environment.
	You know, they are environmentally very, very unfriendly.
	Yes.
	Well, exactly.
	Thank you for making that point.
	But to wrap up my question, then...
	Germany was buying energy from Russia before the Russia-Ukraine situation.
	In fact, much of Western Europe was effectively using gas from the Nord Stream pipelines, from Gazprom.
	The United States has become more and more dependent on energy from the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, which Saudis have more and more turned against the United States in terms of geopolitical recognition, and the Saudis may be looking to join it.
	Well, they are joining the BRICS plus nations.
	And so as an economist, Peter, what do you see?
	Like, what would cause these Western European nations to want to pursue a path of energy suicide domestically, but energy dependence externally that requires war?
	You know, it requires the projection of power through the U.S. Navy or geopolitical coercion to other nations in order to extract their resources.
	What...
	What are your thoughts on this dynamic?
	Because it sounds crazy to me.
	Yes, it is crazy.
	It's a good question, which I also asked myself.
	But then when I realized that there is actually, there are videos available when Scholz is, together with Biden, just shortly before the election, The pipeline, the Nord Stream pipeline was blown up when Biden said, well, we have ways.
	He answered the question, I think, to a journalist.
	We have ways to make sure that Russia is sanctioned and that the Russian gas is no longer sold to Europe.
	Yes.
	And Schultz, you know, if you, you know, I've let it run through that video very often, quite often, and you see him smile and looking at Biden and nodding.
	In other words, he was prepared, he was agreeing with it.
	He was agreeing with the blowing it up.
	Yes.
	And that's suicide.
	It is suicide.
	He is committing German suicide.
	And that's on purpose because Germany is the leader of Europe and that would lead Europe in committing suicide.
	The whole European Union...
	It's directed towards that.
	And what does it mean?
	Now we're connecting more dots.
	You know, all of this, what we have been talking about, fits perfectly into the agenda 2030, that started on the 1st of January 2020, and it fits into the World Economic Forum's Great Reset, because they are basically identical, these two agendas.
	You may know that Klaus Schwab and And Guterres, in 2019, have made a cooperation agreement together so that they would work constantly together and do only things that they would agree on both.
	This is totally illegal, unethical, and this, of course, has nothing to do with the United Nations lining up with an NGO, because that's what the WEF is.
	It is registered in Geneva, in a suburb of Geneva, as an NGO, not more than that.
	So we're looking at an absolutely crazy world that the world doesn't really realize and that all of what is going on fits into this agenda.
	Because if you have Europe that is breaking down economically and done by their leaders actually on purpose, because all of the European leaders are scholars of Klaus Schwab's School for Young Global Leaders.
	You might have heard of that too.
	And he was actually very, on several occasions, I've heard him say how proud he is or how proud we are, the WEF, Being able to infiltrate our young global leaders into governments of the world.
	So in other words, in order to reduce the world population, which is one of the precepts of the global reset, plus the UN agenda 2030, not expressed exactly in those same words,
	you have to starve, you have to break the economy, you have to starve That the people in one way or another, and that is very, very well done with an economic breakdown of Europe, which I don't think will happen actually, because from what I understand,
	there are quite a few big business people in Germany, and probably in France and even in Italy, Who have made separate contracts with Russia.
	Because Russia, what Putin always said, is, you know, you do whatever you want, it doesn't affect me.
	If you would like to become a new partner, I'm always ready to supply you with energy.
	And the top of the hypocrisy, Of all of this is, and I just recently reconfirmed this because I hardly could believe it, since 2014, which was of course the year when the West organized the Maiden coup in Kiev.
	Since that year, that was the year of the largest imports of the European Union from Russia.
	Since then, last year, which means 2022, this year's statistics are not out yet, 2022 is the second largest year of imports, including gas and oil, from Russia for the European Union.
	Wouldn't you believe that?
	Nobody says that.
	And so that it's less visible The gas is shipped either through Turkey or very much through India into Europe.
	So actually to somehow erase the origin, but of course you can't erase it because statistics don't lie.
	They have the origins.
	That is actually a figure.
	You can find that on the internet.
	I was surprised that it was not censored out yet.
	But what the West accomplished in that, what the United States accomplished was making energy more expensive in Europe, thereby making US LNG exports more price competitive to European buyers.
	I think, I mean, what a hustle!
	We blow up civilian infrastructure.
	When I say we, I mean the U.S. Navy.
	We blow up civilian infrastructure, which is an act of war against our own NATO allies, including Germany.
	It's an act of war against Germany.
	And then force them to buy energy at higher prices, making the German production economy less competitive against American producers.
	So, I mean, it's a racket, and it's a destructive racket where so many people are harmed as a result.
	German citizens are harmed.
	French citizens are harmed.
	I mean, this idea, this is consistent with what Israel is doing in Gaza.
	It's like, let's bomb our way to prosperity.
	Yes.
	We're living in a world of crazy people.
	The question, of course, is, of course, Van der Leyen, she knows that, and the European Commission knows that, and some of the European Parliament knows it, but the European Parliament has basically no saying.
	All decisions are taken by the European Commission.
	And by Van der Leyen, basically.
	She is on the board of the World Economic Forum, just so that this is known.
	She gives instructions directly from the WEF. And who is behind the WEF? Is, of course, this huge, dark financial complex, among others, but mostly the financial, the BlackRock, for example, is the largest donor, they don't call them donor, they call them partners, the largest, by far the largest donor of the World Economic Forum.
	So you can imagine who calls the shots.
	So the World Economic Forum, in my opinion, it's just logical.
	It's just one of the executing agencies of those dark forces behind it, which I call the Financial Military IT Media Pharma Complex.
	Oh, wow.
	Can you say that again?
	Yes.
	Financial, military, IT, media, pharma complex.
	Wow.
	Yes.
	Five of those who run the world.
	You've nailed it.
	I think the leader of those are the financial.
	That's why I put them at the front.
	Wow, yeah, you really nailed it.
	And the motivations of this conglomerate of the complex, the motivations are antithetical to human prosperity, freedom, compassion, abundance, all these things.
	I mean, they are working in opposition to the greater good.
	It's clear.
	It's absolutely clear.
	It's absolutely clear.
	The question is, why does Europe participate in it?
	You know, these leaders, they have been bought.
	They have been either threatened or bought into doing what they have been told to do.
	And there's some, maybe, who were offered positions they have refused when they knew that they had to follow a certain line that was dictated from outside.
	But many of them, you know, this is, I don't know whether you know Daniel Estulin's Tavistock book.
	He describes very well what Tavistock is.
	Tavistock is this institution in the UK that manipulates minds.
	It exists since, I think, at least the 40s and has developed a science in Mind manipulation and social manipulation, social engineering, they call it, with all sorts of lies and how you actually trick people in believing something which is not.
	And this is going on and has reached sophistication that has not existed even 30 years ago.
	Yes, yes.
	Gaslighting is one of the terms...
	But right, the Tavistock Institute, I think our audience is quite familiar with that concept, but thank you for bringing it up.
	We are living under massive psychological operations, which interestingly, the psyops are funded by currency printing by the central banks.
	So we have this tie-in between artificial currency creation, the devaluation of the dollar, food inflation driving many people to more and more desperate measures, while the psyops that are weaponized against the minds of the people are funded by the money printing that is, in effect, the looting of while the psyops that are weaponized against the minds of the people are funded by the money printing that is, in So, I mean, it's like a vortex of hell.
	I mean, everything is against us.
	They steal our money.
	They steal truth.
	They steal resources.
	They steal our future.
	All of it.
	Yes, absolutely.
	I mean, you just said the illusion of the free money printing.
	How did it get to that free money printing?
	It's also very, very clever.
	You know, when in 1944, the creation of the World Bank and the IMF, Actually, they decided on the gold standard.
	The gold standard was set up in a way that the value of gold was not denominated by a basket of currencies.
	The basket would have contained the dollars, but also maybe the predominant currencies of Europe at that time.
	No, it was denominated only in dollars.
	So the $35 per ounce was actually, when it was abandoned by Nixon in 1971, It had nothing to do with the U.S. paying debt.
	They never pay debt anyway.
	It had to do with what was planned already that de facto the U.S. dollar became the gold standard.
	So everybody in the world who had gold as their reserves needed now dollars as their reserves.
	Which basically gave the Federal Reserve, or the private banks at the time already, free reign to print as many dollars as they can because the world needed dollars for their reserves.
	And then the second point, almost at the same time, is when Father Nixon, I think, negotiated with then Saudi Arabia, still the head of OPEC as they are now, that all the hydrocarbon should be sold and traded in only dollars at the time.
	And they agreed, you know, as a countermeasure, he promised them protection and the military bases throughout Saudi Arabia, which he did, and then attacked the Middle East from them.
	But that's the second point.
	But the thing is, with the whole world needing energy, as we talked before, 85% of all the energy is hydrocarbons.
	So everybody needed dollars again to buy these hydrocarbons.
	In other words, again, the U.S. had, very clever, had a free reign to print dollars as much as they wanted.
	Now, what that amounts to is that the dollar is, of course, not based on anything.
	It's based on thin air or not even.
	But if you look at the situation today of all what we would call Basically, convertible currency.
	They used to be called convertible currency.
	Now it's just the hard currencies, which is basically the dollar and the euro and the yen and so on.
	So you have maybe a handful or more of these currencies.
	And the yuan, of course.
	The Yuan represents China, and China is, depending on how you look at, the second largest economy.
	If you look at the purchasing parity of the Yuan, it's the largest economy in the world.
	Now, if you compare the two currencies floating around the world, you have about almost 60% of all of these currencies That are circulating in the world are US dollars.
	And only less than 5% of them are consisting of the yuan, which is backed by a very strong economy and by gold.
	So, you know, already this comparison makes you ask, you know, where are we going?
	Why do more economists see that?
	Well, the Chinese, with whom I have fortunately a very close relationship, they see that.
	And they're trying to de-dollarize their economy and the economy of all those other countries that are constantly exposed to sanctions by the U.S. and by extension by Europe.
	Peter, I'm sorry to interrupt.
	We're really out of time, but I would like to invite you back just to talk about de-dollarization, because I think that's where you were going, and that's a really critical concept.
	Right.
	I think that China and Russia and the BRICS nations are succeeding.
	I mean, we're already in India.
	I mean, we're seeing transactions in rupees or yuan or rubles that previously would have been carried out in dollars in the past, and now that's being abandoned.
	We're seeing the Saudis sell oil in non-dollar-denominated currencies.
	So de-dollarization is accelerating.
	Right, yes.
	And I think just maybe a last sentence, if you allow me.
	Yes.
	When maybe only 20 years ago or less, almost 100% of all the international trade, no matter between what countries, the contracts were set up in US dollars.
	Today, that has shrunk to about 65%, about two-thirds, maybe 70%.
	So we're shrinking constantly as these countries are setting up swap accounts with each other so that they can avoid the US dollar and central the US banks to deal with.
	So this is just one tool they have already started using for de-dollarization.
	But yes, that's a very, very interesting topic which I've worked a lot in the past several years on too.
	This has been a fascinating discussion with you, Peter, and I really want to invite you back and talk more because I've never spoken with someone like you who has worked 30 years with the World Bank and yet you have so much knowledge about what's really happening in the world and the dynamics that...
	The masses are completely unaware of, but these dynamics will shape our lives in profound ways.
	And if we don't see this coming, we're going to be really harmed economically and otherwise.
	Let me mention your book.
	It's called Implosion, an economic thriller about war, environmental destruction, and corporate greed.
	I'm showing that on Amazon right now.
	There it is, Implosion.
	Yeah, that's from 2008.
	Is there any other way, Peter, that people can follow you or find your interviews or content?
	Okay.
	Well, the other way, I don't have a website because I thought I wouldn't really need a website because most of my articles are published by Global Research.
	Okay.
	He is a good friend and if you go look for my name under his website and you find the whole list of articles that I have written in the last, I don't know, five, six, seven years.
	Okay, yes, we interviewed him a few months ago as well, and that was a fascinating conversation.
	And as this has been, I mean, I love talking to informed, intelligent, compassionate people who are genuinely interested in helping the world be a better place and who understand the evil that is out there and why we have to call it out.
	So thank you so much for sharing your time with us today, Peter.
	Thank you very much, Mike, for having me.
	It was great.
	Thank you.
	I look forward to having you back.
	Thank you so much.
	Have a great rest of your day.
	Thank you.
	You too.
	Absolutely.
