Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, the free speech video network platform.
We have a very special guest today.
I think the most appropriate guest for the increasing risk of civil war in America.
And I don't use that term lightly.
You see what's happening with the federal government or the occupying resident-in-chief I'm insisting that Texas allow an unlimited invasion of illegals to cross the border.
And Texas Governor Greg Abbott as well as A.G. Ken Paxton saying, oh no, no, no, you're not going to do that.
We're going to defend our border in Texas.
And now this is just one example of how it looks like more than half of America is fed up with the corruption, the criminality, the fraud, and the Welcome to my show.
enemies, foreign and domestic.com.
He's a prolific author.
He's got a new trilogy coming out.
And he's also, of course, been a host with InfoWars.
And he worked with the Navy SEALs in his youth and did a lot of interesting things.
Welcome to the show, Matt.
Great to have you on.
It's good to be on.
It's good to be back when Brady on.
Can't find you an ex for some reason.
Yeah, X bans Brighteon.
Yeah.
Well, I don't understand, but, you know, it's above my level of knowledge to even...
But it's crazy.
Crazy times.
No, it is absolutely crazy.
But no, Elon Musk is not a champion of free speech.
Not in my view, as long as he keeps banning this platform, because we have some really amazing content, like having you on today, for example.
So let's just jump right into it.
Give us your best rendition of where you think this is headed in terms of the Texas versus Biden border fiasco, and we'll go from there.
Just real quickly...
Just sort of my bona fides, my bona fides, not as a SEAL. I was a kid in my 20s.
I wrote this book in like 2002, and it starts with a false flag shooting into a stadium blamed on a deranged veteran who's a patsy, all for the purpose of disarming Americans.
My second novel I wrote in 2005.
Does this look familiar?
This is what's happening, folks.
The Southwest, it may still be flying the American flag or the Lone Star flag, but it is being taken over by the cartels.
And not only the cartels, but the communists who have basically infiltrated from the ground up, from grade schools, high schools, colleges, groups like Mecha and La Raza, We're good to
go.
America, the American people are losing control of the Southwest.
Absolutely.
The kind of crimes that we've been seeing in Mexico, stash houses, people murdered, people hung, decapitated, hung off of bridges, that is going to be coming to America.
Girls just grabbed from the bus stop, never seen again.
All of these pathologies that we've seen in the cartel lands in Mexico are coming across the border because there really is no border.
And it is an absolute act of treason.
And for years I've been banging this drum about Article 4, Section 4.
Fairly smart people on television, they talk about, well, why don't they enforce the immigration law?
And it just gets bogged down in details like they're talking about, well, the Republican law or the law of this president, that president.
Folks, it's right in the Constitution.
It's called the Guarantee Clause.
The states would not have ratified the Constitution.
If they didn't think that they would be protected, what if Thomas Jefferson said, you know what, I think I'm going to sell Missouri purchase back to France?
Yeah, but Matt, this brings up a really important point.
I mean, Texas can now argue legally, and I think Paxton is making this argument, by the way, that because the federal government has abandoned its duties under the Constitution, that it has, quote, broken the compact with the state of Texas.
That's Article 1, number 9, which is that basically if the federal government doesn't do it, we have a right to self-defense.
That's right.
But also Texas has a right to secede from the union and become the Republic of Texas once again.
Yeah, and this is interesting because the book that I'm writing now is the third in the Dan Kilmer series.
There are so many I've got the experience at sailing, ocean sailing.
I built my own 48-foot steel boat.
I've been across the Pacific through the Panama Canal.
So I can write about an area that most people can't.
So instead of writing another, you know, Cormac McCarthy on the road kind of a depressing zombie apocalypse wasteland, the Dan Kilmer books take place after this collapse.
But he can travel to different countries and explore different scenarios, you know, different cultures.
Different economies are going to come through this collapse differently.
It's not going to just be the same or the difference between, you know, Cleveland and Memphis.
It's going to be the difference between entire continents.
Now, wait a second, Matt.
Now, when you say this collapse, you're talking about something much bigger than just Texas versus the United States.
This is baked in the cake at this point.
Okay, tell us about that.
There's no avoiding this.
Well, we have this super complex, just-in-time global economy, and the friction forces, even short of a pandemic X being released, which is really more deadly, a really deadly pathogen this time, or...
What seems very likely a ballistic missile exchange between Iran and American forces, which will show that America's military is completely obsolete.
It's great for scaring third world countries.
Aircraft carriers are more obsolete today than dreadnought battleships were in 1940.
And that's going to be shown clearly.
When they're taken out, the Houthis can stop the world's number one superpower from escorting ships through the Red Sea.
That's right.
So we're firing $2 million missiles, or several of them, to knock down $30,000 drones.
The math doesn't work.
The ships are now going around Africa.
The Panama Canal is on life support, and it's being conquered completely day by day by the Chinese.
So we can't count on what had been one of our ace in the holes.
The reason we built the Panama Canal, it wasn't to increase world shipping.
It was so the Atlantic and Pacific fleets could move quickly and reinforce either coast.
That's over.
Exactly.
And the same thing with the Suez Canal.
That's the whole purpose, from the Mediterranean to the Arabian Sea.
And that can be, not only, I mean, forever, we saw with that evergreen fiasco a couple years ago, a ship can be scuttled in the Suez Canal intentionally.
You know, hijacked, driven at high speed, and just steered into the bank at a 45-degree angle, the Suez Canal will be done.
That's right.
That Concordia, the cruise ship that went aground off of Italy, that was embarrassing, but it didn't affect shipping.
If a ship is scuttled in the Suez Canal and they have to cut it up, you know, they have to saw it in pieces, that will take months.
So the friction forces are building up We're going to see an end of the American empire in the next couple of years.
I don't know if you follow this writer that goes by Simplicius the Thinker.
I do, yeah, on Substack, yeah.
Yeah, not only are all these friction forces building up and our military, I mean, those bases that we have in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan, they're just missile targets.
They're just missile bait.
I've been calling it drone bait.
That's funny.
They're just bait.
They are.
But people that are totally missing so many of the bigger picture items You know, the Russians are building a fleet of nuclear icebreakers, humongous icebreakers, and they're nuclear so they can't be, you know, frozen into the ice like the old ships like the Franklin, right?
They can just, if they got iced in, they just, you know, party for a couple years because they got a nuke, right?
They can't run out of fuel.
But they're going to have a sea route on the top of Russia that goes through Russian territorial waters.
There are islands that this route will take that are Russian islands that the route will go below.
So it will only be for Russia, China and their allies.
This big shortcut from northern Europe to China is going to be excluding the USA.
Of course.
And there is nothing we can do about it.
And we don't even have an icebreaker like that.
Not one.
But we are like the British in the 1920s or 30s coasting on our past glories and thinking that our power will just extend into the future.
But it's not.
It is coming to an end.
This is like the mother of all of those Pericles traps.
That's exactly right, Matt.
And let me add that Joe Biden...
Is still living in the 1980s, I suppose.
Or maybe he's just living in a total fantasy land.
But he still thinks America's military is the most powerful force in the world and that U.S. sanctions are the most powerful force in the world.
And Janet Yellen thinks we can fund unlimited wars by printing money even though we can't manufacture munitions, right?
So, oh, we're going to have a war with Russia and a war with Iran and a war with China and a war with Texas.
On top of that, and How's that going to work when you have a woke Pentagon?
We don't even have the capacity to rearm now.
Exactly.
As it's been pointed out, 1980s technology like the Harpoon missiles that are already obsolete 20, 25 years, they were built in batches.
There is no, like, Tomahawk production line out there.
What the Russians did, and we used to mock them in the Soviet era...
They still have, for example, T-54 tanks.
And it was like, why would you keep them?
So they have a reserve unit in Siberia somewhere, and their whole job is, every month, go out and turn on these 500 T-54 tanks.
Well, you put them on a train, and they become a mobile pillbox in Ukraine.
And when, you know, not fighting at the very front edge, but, you know, they have an ability to surge their armaments.
They are doing, like, three shifts, making shells.
If we go to war with them, we're out of all of our weapons in two or three weeks, completely out.
And they're just beginning.
Well, so let's talk about specifics here.
Right now, as you and I mentioned, we have U.S. troops that have been deployed illegally in Syria.
And then when they got killed a couple of days ago, three – reportedly three servicemen got killed.
And then the U.S. regime lies and says, no, it was in Jordan.
It was at Tower 22 in Jordan.
No, come on.
They were in Syria.
They got killed.
And this is a cover story.
And it's also bait so that Senator Lindsey Graham can say it's time to bomb Iran.
Even though there's no proof that Iran had anything to do whatsoever with that, there's been no investigation, no report, nothing.
It's just, oh, well, Iran did it.
Sounds like weapons of mass destruction in Saddam Hussein, you know, back a couple decades ago.
Sounds like the exact same bullcrap.
Right, and it is pure bait.
It is missile bait, drone bait.
If you look at the map, you have to zoom in on Google Earth.
It's at the tri-border, the triple border of Iraq, Syria, and Jordan.
That's where this Al-Tanf, T-A-N-F, Al-Tanf base is.
Imagine if America was in a weakened state and China was the superpower of the world, and they just put bases in America.
We've seen how they bought all this land in the Southwest farmland and just land to build runways.
They just flew in a bunch of their Globemaster equivalents.
and dared us to attack it.
- Right. - And in China they're saying, American terrorists fired rockets at our China base in Montana.
- Yeah, exactly. - On the Canada and Montana border, right over the main road between Canada and Montana.
That base is not in some random place.
It's at a main highway crossing between northern Iraq and the corner of Syria.
Imagine the gall of China or Russia just putting a roadblock between Las Vegas and Los Angeles and saying...
We dare you to touch it.
I know.
We're resupplying it by air.
But you better not touch us.
Hey, we've got some of the graphics that you sent us.
Let's go through those.
Bring up the first graphic, if you would, please.
Let's see.
Okay, those are your books.
We've also got that on your website.
Let's go to the next graphic.
There we go.
Is this the one that you have coming out next?
Yes.
It starts in South Carolina and it winds up in Texas.
And so it goes to various places where you can explore different post-collapse recovery efforts.
But when they get to Texas, it's a remember, this is not just like some political thing two or three years from now.
We're talking 10 to 15 years in the future when the population is extremely reduced already.
It's at least 75% or 80% collapse in population.
And the Texans have freed themselves.
Well, the recovery is Texas only.
Along with Louisiana.
And it begins with the oil refineries.
Because they do have the latent capacity.
In this scenario, fuel is everything.
You cannot run a modern economy just on horse-drawn wagons.
It ain't going to happen.
And you can't defend yourself either.
So different places where this schooner goes, they just don't have fuel.
Fuel is the lifeblood.
So General Jackson in Texas, he has had the foresight to occupy the region between Galveston and Houston, which is called Texas City, and call volunteers, retired or former infrastructure workers, engineers, soldiers, And protect this and start rebuilding it from Texas City out.
And the reason for this is that once this Texas militia, it's not American Army, it's not National Guard, it's Texas militia, once they have the capacity to fuel their own boats,
ships, trucks, buses, airplanes, They can then expand their control and eventually take control of all of Texas, declaring it a republic and having nothing further to do with the United States.
Texas under the Lone Star flag as an independent country.
That's the end of the book.
I hate to be a spoiler, but I know that people will be interested in that.
When is that coming out, by the way?
It's driving me crazy today.
I haven't been on Skype in a long time.
Anytime that I try to come into this room and turn this computer on, I haven't been on Skype in a while.
I always have problems.
I spend all day screwing with You know, different technical issues.
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
I literally am writing the last few pages of this book.
Okay.
Literally.
But the takeover of Texas is extremely brutal.
The way that it's retold, you know, the people, the veterans of this war, it's not a pretty way that Texas is retaken.
But when it's retaken, it is Texas...
Pure Texicano.
If you don't speak English, if you can't prove you were living here 20-30 years, you got a problem.
If you don't speak English and you don't show that you're just somebody from another continent, you got a problem.
You're not going to be around.
Alright, let's go to the next graphic then.
That's Operation Staked GOAT. That's the Al Paz base that you were just talking about.
What do you want to tell us about this?
Well, you can see that little inset map.
It's literally where Syria, Jordan, and Iraq meet with a road, and we just decided to take it over under the guise of we're fighting ISIS. But in reality, we were supporting and arming ISIS. We give them different names.
We call them like the Free Syrian Army, things like that.
But it's ISIS rebranded, and they've been used as our catchpaw against the Assad regime.
The same fanatics, neocon fanatics, the Victoria and Nolan Kagan gang, they not only have a tremendous hatred for Russia, just like an irrational phobia, mania about all things Russian, they also have it for Assad.
And Our gambit from Libya with the ambassador being killed, etc., all of this was aimed at destabilizing Syria.
Then, of course, the Maidan coup destabilizing Ukraine.
But we've got the losing hand in both Ukraine and in Syria.
One thing that Russia, in a way, is like the opposite of America.
You know, that Kissinger quote, It's, you know, dangerous to be America's enemy, but it's fatal to be our ally.
The Russians have stuck with Syria since like the 1960s under the USSR. They have two naval bases and now Air Force bases on the Mediterranean.
One is Latakia, and they're very nearby, but they have two bases that are now extremely critical for Russian power projection.
They are never, ever going to give up and turn their back on Syria the way we ran out of everywhere else.
Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc.
This is teaching people around the world, if you have Russians as your ally, they will not desert you.
And Americans, eventually, they'll be out of there on the Globemaster.
Well, let's apply that question to Israel now.
Let's talk about that because it's my belief.
Of course, I want your analysis and reaction.
But the minute the U.S. collapses, Israel's done because the Arab nations will just obliterate it at that point.
I mean, how does Israel think they can survive given what they've just done?
All they'll have left is a Samson option if they can pull it off.
But there'll just be a parking lot after that.
But, you know, we're seeing...
I watch different news.
I watch CNN and MSNBC. I'll, like, watch the first five minutes of different news hours just to see, like, what propaganda is being meted out.
And on Fox& Friends this morning, it's like, we have our reporter embedded with the IDF going into Gaza, you know, finding terrorists in the tunnels.
And we are in such an isolation bubble in the world right now.
The rest of the world is seeing Gaza turned into Dresden, and every bomb says Made in America on it.
That's right.
Right?
There's no separation at this point.
That's why the Houthis are attacking our ships in the Red Sea.
All ships today have a thing called AIS, which is a transponder ship.
So instead of just, you know, being painted by radar and showing a reflection, you're actually sending out a signal that gives you your, you know, the name of the ship, the course, who owns it, everything.
And some ships have tried to go dark and turn off their AIS, but they're targeting American and Israeli allied ships.
Yeah.
Technology's marching on.
Yeah.
The level of weapons that are stopping us in the Red Sea are nothing compared to what Iran can fire today at Tel Aviv.
The missile that hit, they're calling this a drone strike on that Al-Tanf base.
That was no drone strike.
That was a ballistic missile hit.
That was like a World War II V2 or Scud missile kind of a payload.
Coming in supersonic, you don't hear it.
It's faster than sound, so you just have a giant explosion with no warning.
Yeah, it was very suspicious when they talked about the deaths and casualties and said it was a drone strike.
I'm not aware of any drone that can produce that kind of carnage.
And there are all kinds of messages that are being sent by what weapons are being used.
So on one level, for example, in the Ukraine war, on one level, it's like, oh, let's test new weapons.
Let's see, like, how the T-90 tank, the Russian T-90 tank does.
The Abrams, well, we won't actually put it forward.
It would be embarrassing if they're, you know, blown up visibly.
But the Russians have also fired, like, Kinshaw missiles and other missiles.
At specific targets, like early in the war, they hit a barracks and they nailed the barracks, like with several of these missiles.
And it's sort of like a brushback pitch by a baseball pitcher.
You know, like you back off batter.
Yep.
Yep.
The next I'm just touching your Jersey with the fastball.
That's a message to the Pentagon.
You've got nothing that can stop these dudes, and we can hit a barracks with something that turns it into a 100-foot crater.
Yeah.
The whole thing.
Well, that's what they did at that base the other night.
That's why we're not seeing any...
Have you seen any video out of that base?
No.
Nope.
Because people can do crater analysis.
With crater analysis, they can not only tell the direction, they can tell what type of...
Was it a penetrating warhead?
Was it an airburst?
What it was.
They can get to within a couple hundred kilograms of what the payload was.
That's why they're not showing any pictures.
I think this was another brushback pitch.
This is a warning.
Look, we can put it not just somewhere in the desert near with a circular error probability of a kilometer.
We're going to hit the barracks.
This is a brushback pitch.
Americans aren't seeing any of this analysis on our news.
No, no, no.
And those missiles from Iran have the range to hit Tel Aviv or any city in Israel.
They have missiles that can hit Europe.
But the Iranians, people need to remember, the Persians, they invented chess, okay?
These are not...
The Saudis, you know, camel jockeys, okay?
These are sophisticated people.
They have engineers.
They have mathematicians.
Well, some of the best mathematicians throughout human history, frankly.
Absolutely.
And the worst thing we can do now, and I can't remember if it was Larry Johnson who said this, attacking Iran kinetically now is the stupidest move.
Because it will just unite all of the Iranians.
They'll forget that they hate the Ayatollahs.
They'll forget that they hate the...
You know, the Crusaders are attacking us.
We're now united against the Crusaders.
That's exactly what's going to happen.
It's much smarter if we just continue to destabilize them internally, politically.
But attacking them kinetically is so stupid.
You know, Yemen...
I'm a big map fanatic.
I'm a map guy.
Yemen is the size of France, okay?
It's almost the size of Texas.
And we act like, oh, we're just going to go over there and spank them, knock out their missiles.
Their missiles, they can carry like six of them in a truck, park them out in the desert.
There's no signature every time they launch from a different place.
Right.
And the launch systems now are so good because they have not only GPS, they have Chinese GPS and Russian GPS and other systems now that are coming on that aren't even space-based.
They have terrestrial GPS systems coming out next, which people don't really know about yet, but it's not even going to depend on a constellation of satellites So even your less sophisticated countries like the Houthi is in Yemen.
Remember, they also have been attacked by American bombs.
They've been in this civil war, quasi-civil war against Saudi Arabia for a decade.
Many civilians killed.
And the missiles raining down on Yemen also say made in America.
Yes, exactly.
Americans aren't getting any of this understanding of what's going on.
No, and when the U.S. recently struck Yemen, all we did was fire missiles at the same sites that have already been hit by missiles 50 times previously and didn't do any damage.
But Matt, let me ask you this question.
Because you're kind of leading towards this.
It seems to me, I mean, you mentioned how the U.S. military, its weapons have become obsolete, and I agree with that assessment.
And not replaceable, and they can't be replaced.
Right, right.
But also, of course, the culture of the Pentagon is also disastrous for the wokeism of it.
But it seems to me that the U.S., Engineers and builds weapons in order to sell them to other countries, not to have effective war machines, whereas Russia and Iran build weapons to take out enemies on the battlefield.
That's not what America does.
And, you know, the culture is so different.
The American culture is the military-industrial intel complex that And it's a profit-making thing.
I mean, Lloyd Austin is a Raytheon guy.
Exactly.
They changed the rules about you have to be out of uniform for a decade before you can be in the cabinet to say, oh, well, Lloyd Raytheon Austin, we need him.
You know, Nikki Haley, she's Boeing.
These are all like the top five military conglomerates.
That's right.
So our military programs, like the Ford aircraft carrier, It's like a joke.
The elevators don't work.
The catapult system doesn't work.
The new all-electric catapult system on the floor doesn't work.
It doesn't matter.
It's a sink for billions and billions of dollars that's distributed in 100 congressional districts.
It's about selling the program to make money.
In Russia, you can say what you want about the Soviet Union and Certainly in the 20s and 30s and through the 40s, very brutal, cruel communists.
I get it.
But they never said, hey, we're going to brainwash your boy into thinking he's a girl and give him hormones and brainwash him to be castrated.
They never did that.
They still wanted a boy and a girl to grow up to be man and woman and raise a family.
In some ways, we're way crazier than they ever were right now.
And I would add, in America, we manufacture munitions to be as expensive as possible so that the money can be skimmed and distributed and kickbacks everywhere.
In Russia, they say, how can we build artillery shells as cheaply as possible that still work?
I got to sidetrack when I was talking about they saved all those T-54 tanks and old systems like that, and we couldn't understand it.
They also always dual-purposed their industry.
There's all this people making fun of, oh, they'd had to take chips out of their washing machines.
When they build the washing machine, they built it into the artillery shell plant when the war was over and the artillery shell plant shrinks down production to 10 percent.
But but they keep those lines and they keep those employees, they keep that company town atmosphere, you know, with incentives for people to stay at that town so that in the event of a war, they can shift over from from, you know, washing machines back to artillery they can shift over from from, you know, washing machines back Right.
They have and they and they and they they also reward their engineers for discoveries, not.
Take the idea of the engineer, patent it 100 different ways, and figure out how to make a $10 million fighter a billion-dollar fighter.
F-35, anyone?
Yeah, it's not an accident that the...
We have the M-16 family of weapons, the AR-15, right?
Aficionados have heard of Eugene Stoner, right?
Sure.
But why is the Kalashnikov called the Kalashnikov?
It's because they rewarded him.
That's true.
Not stock options, you can patent it and become a billionaire with royalties.
They said, Kalashnikov, you are a hero of then the Soviet Union, but now they do it with the Russians.
They name the Mikoyan, they name the weapons for the inventor.
It's a better bolt carrier group mechanism, too, compared to the AR. But my point is, instead of all the incentives being, how can Raytheon take over this invention and sell it for a billion dollars a unit?
The incentive is, be proud that you're a great engineer and you're going to make the new Kinjal missile For the defense and protection of Mother Russia.
And we will give you the credit.
You won't become a billionaire.
You're not going to patent it and sell each missile for $100 million like we would.
Right.
Your incentive to be a great engineer is that at the end of the process, when you've made this great invention, you're going to be on the reviewing stand.
People will be clapping and saying, you were one great engineer.
We're naming it for you.
And that's an incentive for other engineers.
I'm doing it for patriotism, not...
So I can sell the patent to Raytheon and make millions personally.
I get it.
It makes perfect sense.
But as a result of everything we're talking about here, the U.S. Navy is mostly theater.
So it's sitting out there trying to impose the threat of force without actually being able to impose much force.
I mean, the U.S. Navy...
As far as I can tell at this point, except in certain...
I mean, nuclear submarines with nuclear ballistic missiles have a role, obviously.
But in terms of what they're doing there in the Red Sea and in the Mediterranean, it's completely obsolete.
And I think we're going to lose some naval ships out there.
Yeah, it's not sustainable.
The cost to keep these battle groups in theater...
Just for the Red Sea example...
When they fire $100,000 little salvo of drones, we fire a half dozen $2 million missiles, and they may or may not stop the drones, and the drones may or may not have even hit a ship.
But even if no ship is hit, you can't have a 50 or 100 to 1 cost ratio.
And what we're doing is expending these war stocks that we will not have if it goes kinetic with a real peer or near-peer like Iran, Russia, or China.
That's right.
And I've seen numbers like Russia's artillery shells, which I think are 152 millimeters, something like that.
They're about $600 U.S., Per shell to manufacture.
In the U.S., the 155 shells are now costing, I believe, $8,000 to $10,000 a round.
I mean, think about that.
Well, we were pushing ahead, not only with the Ford aircraft carrier, this white elephant that doesn't work, but the Zumwalt destroyer with this crazy-looking thing with the reverse shear and the bow that went forward like an 1890 ship.
It has an electromagnetic gun.
Like a Buck Rogers gun, it's going to, instead of using gunpowder, it's going to be like, it's a rail gun, an electromagnetic rail gun.
The rounds were a million dollars a round.
What?
And they don't even have gunpowder.
Dollars around.
Right, but it's Buck Rogers.
And imagine the billions and billions of dollars that were sunk into a project like the Zumwalt.
That was going to be like the replacement for the Arleigh Burke, which is essentially a modern design of the old paradigm of turbine engines, etc.
They're going to make a new all-electric ship.
It won't need much crew.
It'll be all super AI computerized.
A million dollars around.
And they have scrapped the program.
So they've wasted this money on things like the F-35, the ZoomWalt, the Ford-class.
But it made billions.
That's why Nikki Haley is promoted as the, you know, in case Trump can't run, Nikki Haley is the neocon military industrial complex candidate.
They just want to keep this party going.
It's rotten.
It's completely corrupt.
And it's not defending America.
It requires continued violence around the world that's provoked by the U.S. empire.
And, you know, you're well aware the U.S. provoked Russia into the attack on Ukraine as a matter of self-defense of Russia.
And they said, we know the whole history, we could recite it, and probably half of our audience.
But Victoria Nuland and the Kagan Nuland gang, which is essentially running our foreign policy, Tony Blinken is cut from the same cloth.
But actually, Victoria Nuland, I am sure that in a closed room, it's Victoria Nuland giving orders to Tony Blinken, not the other way around.
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
And and they have a visceral hatred of Russia.
And we're all mad at Ilian Omar right now because she's bringing Somali politics into Congress.
How about bringing your hereditary politics of your family was expelled by the Cossacks, you know, 100 years ago, and you still hate Russia so much that you're willing to drag America into World War III based on your...
You know, inborn, hereditary, visceral hatred of all things Russia.
Yes.
Well, Victoria Nuland is a racist.
She's steeped in ethnic hatred to the Russian people, just like you said.
And she is an extremely dangerous person.
She's going to try to get NATO to attack Russia.
And I have a question for you about that, which is, I saw that Germany now, I think it's their Ministry of Defense, has their new O-Plan.
Which I think should be called the Oh Shit Plan, actually.
The O Plan calls for German citizens to protect the power stations and the railways while NATO is at war with Russia and Germany.
The land is used as a conduit for Western tanks and troops to transit across Germany to the front lines to fight with Russia.
But if you're a citizen in Germany, you're told to build a bunker now.
So all of a sudden, you've got to build a bunker because the government can't help you, and you're going to be tasked with protecting the power substations in Germany against Russia's hypersonic missiles.
How are you going to do that?
You can't protect them.
So there's no the paradigm of Desert One where we have a Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Desert Storm, where we take six months to do a sea lift to an allied port without being attacked is over.
Yeah.
If we're in a kinetic war with Russia, there will be no port of Antwerp.
It will be right.
It will be a crater.
It will not be.
It will be out of action.
The ships will not get across the Atlantic.
Remember, there are submarines.
The ships won't get across the Atlantic.
So if you have internal lines of communication, namely, you're a continent, Russia, attached to China, you have big advantages in a modern kinetic war over somebody that has to do a sea lift.
It's not 1940 anymore.
It's not 1940.
And all of this is tied together.
Even I want to mention this LNG thing with Texas.
This is almost like FDR putting sanctions on Japan.
Right.
This is an attack on Texas doing the LNG thing.
So we blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, right?
Kissinger.
It's bad to be our enemy, but it's fatal to be our friend.
We blew up Germany's Nord Stream pipeline.
No question about it.
100%.
But we said, don't worry, we're going to send you LNG on tankers.
But it's going to cost about 10 times more than that pipeline gas.
That's if the economy is working and nobody's hassling anybody.
But a pipeline going from the Russian Baltic into Siberia is a very hard and resilient target.
It's an anti-fragile target.
If you hit a pipeline with a missile and you blow up 500 feet of pipeline, they can fix it next week.
If you blow up a LNG conversion plant or a regasification plant or the ship in the middle of the ocean, you've got the LNG across the ocean energy plan only works in a world you've got the LNG across the ocean energy plan only works in a world of peace with Well, and as an example, Qatar has also halted LNG exports to Europe right now because of the Red Sea.
I mean, Europe has lost three sources of energy now.
U.S. LNG exports, Qatar exports, and the Nord Stream pipelines.
And this is all due to the U.S. Yeah, there's a guy at the beginning of the 20th century named Mackinder who...
I believe I got that name right.
But he had the world island theory.
And this is when there were still czars in Russia.
This had nothing to do with communism.
He wrote this in like the 19 aughts.
That the reason for what the British called the great game was always to play the balancer.
Never let one empire span all of Eurasia.
It would be too powerful.
America inherited that role from Britain after World War II of always coming in and disrupting, preventing Russia and China from being allied, for example.
And preventing Germany and Russia from being allies.
That is the Nord Stream pipeline.
Right.
And everything we've done, it's been like a backfire, unless it's intentional, because...
natural gas going to China directly.
Right.
So, oh, we can't sell it to Germany.
Well, Germany, that's your fault.
No more.
You won't be building any more cuckoo clocks.
Right.
No more lederhosen because you got no gas.
Texas won't can't sell it to you because we're not going to build any more gasification plants.
The ships are sitting ducks.
If push comes to shove.
That thing's just a fireball in the ocean where it's safe to fireball it, right?
I mean, if you torpedo an LNG tanker in Galveston, that's a problem.
But if you torpedo it in the middle of the North Atlantic, nobody will know.
Except the crew.
Very briefly.
But meanwhile, look at the China-Russia landmass.
They're going to have nuclear icebreakers keeping that route open 12 months of the year.
And that's a big shortcut.
We're going around Africa?
They're going from Murmansk to St.
Petersburg.
With all their friends.
So give us your best idea then.
And I know, I can't wait for your new book, and I appreciate you taking time out of your writing to join us today.
I think your analysis is really critical.
And, by the way, I did buy your first book, Enemies, Foreign, and Domestic, and read that and thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I noticed, like, you had the role of the ATF going after, of course, all the veterans.
I mean, the ATF was...
It starts with a false flag.
Yeah, it was a false flag.
And it's like, ourselves, Alex, everybody, we, you know, every war, Michael Yan, every war starts with a false flag.
Yeah, everybody...
Everybody wants to start the war looking like we were wronged.
Yeah, exactly.
But I want your assessment.
What is the most likely trigger point for the collapse of the U.S. empire?
Is it financial?
Is it kinetic war?
Is it cyber?
I mean, in what realm would you put that?
I think that all of the friction of all of these is coming to a boiling point.
So when the pot on the stove boils over and throws the lid and goes all over, you know, boiling water all over the place, it will be hard to say which burner under that pot was the hottest element that actually caused the lid to fly off.
You know, is it a missile war between Iran and the U.S. Navy?
Is it a financial collapse?
I think that traditionally and historically, Right.
Right.
Right.
Why did we have hyperinflation in America?
If we had, for example, either hyperinflation or deflationary depression, because they're the two sides of the same coin, right?
You've got a rotten economy.
They can either deflate 1930s-style America or hyperinflate 1930s or 20s German Weimar-style.
But you can't just keep printing money, right?
It doesn't work.
So the bankers do not want to be in front of a Senate hearing where you have 80 conservative Republican types like Rand Paul types that are saying, you're going to go to prison for the rest of your lives because when we unravel all of this, it was complete corruption and fraud and self-dealing.
Oh, yeah.
No, they want a cover story for the whole thing.
And 300 million Americans want to lynch you.
And I want to be reelected, so I'm going to lead the necktie party.
The bankers fear that.
They would rather blow everything up.
And then it's like, oh, act of God, it was, you know, act of war.
They think they can hide out in New Zealand or Patagonia or Kauai and then come back afterwards and buy everything cheap because they have often done that.
After depression, you can buy, you know, the big farm for $10.
Right.
They're like vultures.
We're going to fly to Kauai, hide out in a bunker in Kauai, and then fly back to America and buy everything cheap.
But the Americans might be waiting with a rope.
Yeah, that might be the case.
All right, well, Matt, let me just give out your website again.
It is enemiesforeignanddomestic.com.
Yes.
And if you live in Texas, my books are like, people are, I mean, not to be, you know, too self-serving, but people say, like, you know, pretty Nostradamus-y.
Yeah.
Because this is like 2005 I'm writing this.
I know.
You know, corrupt judges.
Corrupt generals.
The North American Legion.
In my book, there's the North American Legion.
Illegal aliens with American trader officers.
And people...
When I wrote this, I mean, I've got like...
Books I wrote 15 years ago, I've got homosexual army captains slow dancing in the O Club, and people are emailing me, Matt, that is so hyperbolic, that is so over the top, that will never, ever happen.
And here it is, every day in the Pentagon now.
Every day.
So, yeah, Pride Day at the CIA. So if people want to get my books, if they don't care about inscriptions, they can buy them on Amazon.
But if you want to get my books and have them inscribed, my address is on the website, but you can also use PayPal, other means like that.
If I inscribe the book, Jeff Bezos gets less of the money.
I would prefer that.
All right, so folks, if you want to support Matt Bracken and his efforts, then get the books from his website, and you can get them signed or inscribed or whatever works for you.
So check it out.
And the reason for writing these books is...
If I wrote these books today, it would be like, great, you know, you watch the news and you're writing a book about what's happening.
If I write the book about what's happening today, but I wrote it 15 years ago, people are more likely to read my book that I'm writing now about what's happening 15 years from now.
Exactly.
Because that's my new book.
My new book is, after the collapse, after depopulation, how is a recovery, what does recovery look like?
And in Doomsday Reef, the recovery looks like Texas and Louisiana beginning with making fuel.
There you go.
It has to restart there.
It has to be fuel first.
I think you're exactly right.
I think you're exactly right.
And at this point, there's so much evil coming from the U.S. dollar and how it's been weaponized and exploited that the collapse of the dollar is actually a necessary thing for human freedom to ever have a resurgence.
Yeah, and in the Texas at the end of this book, it's a 20-to-1 gold-to-silver bimetal system.
That's not to say that a bimetal system would work in perpetuity, but as they dig out of no economy...
They're using gold and silver 20 to 1.
There you go.
Interesting.
Wow.
And that's it.
No banks, no loans.
It's a government war economy.
People are joining the militia for a concept called re-homesteading.
There are a lot of empty homes.
And you will serve in the militia or in the Texas Engineering Corps.
And there's no money to pay you.
you're paid a promise of a home.
That's what you're fighting for.
You get the years of service.
We're going to give you a home when this is all over.
So I'm thinking of how does an economy restart from ashes, right?
Right.
It's a patriotic fervor that we're going to work to do this because we have to do it.
We have to do the work and rebuild Texas.
That's the end of the book.
Okay.
Well, I'm happy to be in Texas.
I'm glad to be a Texan.
I've got a Texas flag and a Texas Rangers right here.
Because I'm not leaving Texas.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm here to see Texas through this and to contribute to if it becomes the Republic of Texas or whatever it is, I'm here to help rebuild the spirit of America in Texas.
Absolutely.

We also have a new batch of ultra-clean turmeric root powder.
Now, turmeric root is often, just on the open marketplace, it's often contaminated with lead.

You know, like we get samples before we purchase a lot of turmeric powder, and if it doesn't pass, then we reject it, and then that gets sold to somebody else.
Well, we have an ultra-clean new lot of turmeric root powder available right now at our store, healthrangerstore.com.
