Time Text
Well, alright folks.
Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024. I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me.
Hope you enjoyed my interview with Tracy Thurman yesterday talking about Roger Veer.
He's Bitcoin Jesus and he is being persecuted by the DOJ. Because they don't like Bitcoin, Jesus.
They don't like Bitcoin and they don't like Jesus.
And they certainly don't like Bitcoin, Jesus.
And we, all of us in the freedom movement, we're asking for Trump to consider a pardon for Roger Ver, which would breathe new life into the rest of his life.
So would we call that, if Trump issues the pardon, would that be the resurrection of Bitcoin, Jesus?
Just saying.
That could be the resurrection of Bitcoin Jesus.
And then the Bitcoin Christians would say, it's the second coming of Christ.
No, no, I'm joking about that part.
But we do want a pardon, or at least we asked Trump to consider a pardon for Bitcoin Jesus.
And Given that Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter for 11 years of crimes, I mean, every crime, like every crime, Hunter could have murdered people and he's pardoned for it now, which is a convenient way for Joe to cover up his own crimes because, you know, 10% for the big guy.
But now that Hunter's been pardoned, it really opens the floodgates for Trump to pardon a lot of people who need to be pardoned.
And so really, that's good news for the J6 political prisoners, who all need to be pardoned, and for people like Roger Ver or maybe Julian Assange, maybe Edward Snowden, you know?
And what about pardoning the J6 prisoners who served time and they're done, but they still have That conviction on their criminal records, and shouldn't they also be compensated for just this political persecution?
And it was an FBI-run, Capitol Police-run entrapment scheme on January 6, 2021. It was entrapment.
It was a honeypot trap to create an insurrection narrative in order to make sure that Joe Biden and the Democrats could successfully steal the 2020 election.
That's what the whole thing was.
Well, the truth is slowly coming out about that and about some other things.
Notably, the U.S. House has issued a new report.
This report is called the After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
It is a 527-page report.
I'm going to read it for you.
No.
I took that 527 pages and I put it into my AI engine.
Neo, as we call it, brighteon.ai, if you want to download it.
I put it in, in, well, chunks, because it's kind of long.
Actually, I put in the important top section of it, which is a fraction of the total length, and asked it to generate a summary, and it did.
It generated a really great summary, which I'm going to So this congressional investigation report, which has taken four years to put together, it says the following.
And this is a summary of it.
It says there's strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 emerged due to a lab accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
So yes, lab origins.
It says that EcoHealth Alliance and Dr. Peter Dezak should never receive U.S. taxpayer funds again because of their questionable practices and lack of transparency.
Yeah, they lied.
They're crooks.
I mean, they should be prosecuted and determined to be crooks, in my view.
Let's see.
Funding for gain-of-function research.
It says the NIH funded the illegal gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute.
And that means that the U.S., the NIH, contributed to the emergence of the so-called pandemic.
It also says that in the government's response to all of this, there was rampant fraud, waste, and abuse that plagued the COVID-19 response by the government.
Said that the school closures across the nation had a lasting negative impact on children's education and mental health.
Yeah, we've been warning about this for years.
Mostly this report vindicates all of us in the alternative media, by the way.
I've published a story on this with a summary.
If you want to see it, it's at naturalnews.com right now.
If you want to go there, it's my top story, and it has a link to the PDF. If you want to share that link with your friends or family members, the ones that are still living, then you can show them, you know, hey, remember what I was trying to tell you?
That it was a laboratory origin and the masks were bunk and the lockdowns don't work.
Remember all that?
And the government tyrants were pushing misinformation.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Well, it's all been confirmed by the government itself, by the U.S. House Congressional Investigation.
It even says there were misinformation campaigns pushed by public health officials and that they mischaracterized scientific information And they generated public mistrust.
Oh, that's, well, that's putting it mildly, public mistrust.
I gotta tell you, I will never trust any government official ever in my life.
Never going to happen because I've seen how they kill people.
I've seen how they lie.
I've seen how they become tyrants, power-hungry, arrogant, pompous bastards.
You cannot rebuild my trust in government.
Not even with all the Trump picks and not even with RFK and Kosh Patel.
I mean, those guys will probably achieve some very positive things, relatively speaking.
But overall, you can never restore or rebuild my trust in government.
Government needs to go.
This whole fiasco, I mean, this turned me into a libertarian, man, when it comes to government anyway.
It's like, Every government agency you can name, cut it.
Get rid of it.
Budget should be zero.
Whatever you can name, three-letter agencies.
Oh, FDA, cut it to zero.
Four-letter agencies.
USDA, cut it to zero.
Five-letter agencies.
NIAID. That's where Fauci worked, the NIAID. Cut it to zero.
Six-letter agencies.
There's a bunch of those, too.
I don't remember any of them, but there's six-letter agencies.
But mostly...
We would reserve four letter words for the three letter agencies and encourage them to all be cut to zero.
If the entire federal government ceased to exist tomorrow, all of our lives would be better.
We would be safer.
We'd be more free.
We would have more abundance.
We'd be able to buy and sell food without being raided by government officials.
We'd be able to speak freely without government interference in our speech.
We'd be able to keep what we earn without it being stolen through taxes.
Think about it.
If the entire federal government ceased to exist tomorrow, would your life be better or worse?
It would be better.
And nothing can change that because COVID proved you can't trust government, period.
You can't trust government when Trump's running it either.
And I think America's about to find that out.
All right, anyway, continuing with the report.
Talks about the role of public health officials.
Says that Fauci played a role in downplaying the lab leak theory and he covered up facts.
And then it says Operation Warp Speed.
The report says that the Operation Warp Speed was successful and that it saved millions of lives, which is, of course, a lie.
But it was marred by political interference and lack of transparency.
Yeah, I'll say.
But they had to put in there that, you know, it was a good thing.
It saved lives because Trump is taking credit for it.
All right, it talks about the economic impacts, business closures, Led to temporary and permanent closures affecting rural and low-income areas.
Unemployment.
It exacerbated inequalities in the job market.
Inequalities.
Like, I have a job and you don't.
No, that's unequal.
Okay.
Supply chain issues.
A lack of supply chain diversity.
Hindered recovery efforts.
Yeah, you could say that.
It talks about vaccine mandates were not supported by science and they cause more harm than good.
Including disrupting military readiness.
Says that the VAERS adverse reporting system was inadequate and not transparent.
Says the school closures disrupted education, increased mental health issues and worsened physical health as if American school kids weren't fat and insane enough already.
So now it's like, lock you down in your home for a year!
What?
Wear a mask.
You know, have no social interaction.
And just eat food in your living room and pretend like you're attending school when you're actually playing video games.
And then the adults also staying at home, like, pretend you're going to work.
You can work from home as a federal worker.
You only have to show up one day a month in the office the rest of the time.
You can, quote, work from home.
Yeah.
So basically, the parents and the kids all just sat at home and got fat.
And all their mental health went down the toilet.
And this was called public health.
Public health policy.
What people needed was to get the heck outside.
Get outside.
Get some sunlight.
Get some fresh air.
Take a walk in the park.
Jog on the beach.
Plant some food in the garden.
But in some states, I think Michigan, they blocked off the seed section at the Home Depot.
Nobody was allowed to buy seeds.
Do you remember that?
Because they thought if people could buy seeds, they might spread COVID. Yeah, seriously.
That's what the governor said.
Was that Whitmer?
I think it was.
Completely insane.
Or maybe that was New York, but you get the idea.
They ordered everybody to stay home.
Lock yourself down.
Don't get any sunlight.
And here, have some stimulus money.
So you can buy enough alcohol to get you through this, right?
And no wonder America's health got a whole lot worse during that time.
It also says that the American Federation of Teachers advocated overly broad mitigation measures without sufficient scientific basis.
In other words, they're all full of s***.
That's basically what this report says.
It says the executive branch obstructed investigations, the Biden administration, obstructed investigations into the origins of COVID. It says that EcoHealth Alliance engaged in obstruction, misleading public statements, and document tampering.
Huh, that sounds illegal to me.
That sounds really illegal.
Maybe Biden will pardon EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak and Maybe Barrack will be pardoned before this.
Maybe Fauci will be pardoned.
You think Fauci will be pardoned?
If Hunter got a pardon, I bet you Fauci's negotiating with Biden like, okay, I need a pardon.
I need a pardon.
How much is it going to cost?
You know, that's probably what he's doing.
You need a million dollars?
No problem.
I got a million dollars from the royalties on the vaccines that we were pushing.
I'll give you a million dollars in Bitcoin, you know?
Put me on the pardon list, Joe.
And Joe's probably just going to do it.
Pardon payola.
Pardons for cash.
And if he pardons Fauci, then that's an admission that Fauci committed a whole bunch of crimes, isn't it?
Yeah.
Because that dude should be prosecuted.
All right.
Anyway, it says that what is needed for future preparedness is oversight.
Independent oversight bodies to ensure transparency and accountability.
Now, of course, what does oversight consist of?
Bigger government.
So now they're going to need a government agency to oversee the other government agencies.
And it'll be called like the American Transparency Agency, the ATA, that has to oversee the FDA and the DEA and the CDC and the NIH and the NIAID and all of it.
And then when that agency, the transparency agency, becomes corrupt, and there's another pandemic and another fallout report like this, then they'll say, well, we have to have watchmen to watch the transparency agencies that oversee the other agencies to make sure that the transparency agencies are actually being transparent.
So you'll have another layer of government.
And this is how government operates.
Every problem caused by government, Well, government will tell you there's a solution from government.
It just requires bigger government, more government, more federal employees that mostly don't work, and more confiscation of money from the taxpayers, more money printing to fund the next layer of government, the oversight layer, on top of the transparency layer, on top of the accountability layer, on top of the executive layer, on top of the legal layer, on top of the layer that screws the American people.
Which is like the FDA layer.
So that's how it all works.
See?
See the solution?
We just need more government to solve the problem created by more government.
It also says that we need enhanced communication, more communication between scientists, policymakers, and the public.
That's not going to solve anything if the scientists are lying, if they've all received orders from globalists like Bill Gates to just lie.
More communication?
If they're dishonest traitors to humanity, it's not going to solve the problem.
It also says, the report says we need more preparedness plans.
We need to stockpile medical supplies and diversify supply chains.
Which, if you've been listening to me, yeah, we've been teaching that for 20 years.
Of course you should stockpile medical supplies.
Of course you should diversify your supply chains, especially when it comes to things like, you know, food, medicine, communications, money, like diversify away from the dollar.
That's not in the report, obviously.
That's just me saying that.
But yes, the report says we need comprehensive preparedness plans that include stockpiling medical supplies.
Sounds like they're going to print more money and buy more stuff with it.
So when they roll out another fake Plandemic, then all the right people will cash in on that one, just like all the right people cashed in on the last one.
It's all a racket, folks.
It's all just a giant money laundering racket in Washington, D.C. But this report, even though it's only a limited hangout, is still pretty good.
It admits a lot of things, and overall, it reveals that We, the alternative media, we were right the whole time.
We got censored for saying things that are now in this report.
Remember when you could get censored just for saying that COVID leaked out of a lab?
And where the fact checker official explanation was that it escaped from, what was it, a meat market in China?
And if you said anything other than that, you were fact-checked into oblivion and you were censored.
You couldn't say it on YouTube.
You couldn't say it on Facebook or even on Twitter at the time.
Remember that?
You couldn't say anything about that.
You couldn't say anything against Dr. Fauci because he said, I am the science.
I am the science.
And if you disagreed with Fauci, then you, it was said that you disagreed with science itself.
As if you opposed the existence of gravity.
You disagree with Fauci.
You don't believe in gravity.
Well, I believe in the gravity of the situation of all the lies that Fauci pushed.
I do believe in that.
I also believe in gravity as well as a phenomenon of the bending of space and time due to mass.
But that's another discussion.
Yes, gravity's real, and Dr. Fauci is really a crook, and he really needs to go to jail.
He really needs to be prosecuted.
So, hey, Senator Rand Paul, how about you lead the Senate investigation into the criminality of Fauci?
But this document is a goldmine for those of us in alternative media who have been called disinformation dozen Lots of people were named as a disinformation dozen.
We've been deplatformed.
We have been smeared in the media for years for telling the truth.
And you, listening to this, you've probably been, you know, disenfranchised by your family or maybe your spouse even or your friends or your job.
You might have lost your job because you knew the truth and you told the truth.
Well, now you're vindicated.
You probably lost some family members who won't talk to you ever again.
Because they believed the science and they got jabbed a bunch of times.
They kept getting jabbed even after the first couple, you know?
A lot of people learn after the first one or two, like, wait a second.
But some people just continued on.
It's like, they're on the 10th jab now or something.
Those people probably don't want to talk to you ever again because you just, you know too much truth and it's annoying to them.
Well, now, according to this congressional report, you were right all along.
So, hey, where's the corporate media retractions on all the years of lies that they pushed out from the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, you name it.
Years and years of nothing but lies.
All exposed.
Will they go back and retract all those stories?
Of course not.
Because they're just going to continue lying.
That's what they do.
They're the corporate media.
Anyway, check this out, my story and summary on this at naturalnews.com.
I also want to tell you, starting next week, we're going to be greatly increasing our publishing schedule on Natural News.
We'll be publishing stories much more rapidly, several times a day.
And where our process had become a little bit slow compared to other publishers, it's going to be rapid.
And that's because of some really amazing technology that we have.
Developed and implemented and you'll see the results starting in about a week or shortly after.
So be sure to check naturalnews.com multiple times a day.
You're going to see a lot of new stories getting published and a lot of new exciting stories about things that are happening that we normally don't cover like new book releases and things like that.
Things that...
You will want to know about that you may not have known about.
And we're going to be covering a lot of sort of uncovered once secret government documents, like hidden PDFs and things like that.
Yeah, it's going to get interesting.
Especially as Trump takes office, if we make it to that day.
And Kosh Patel, if he starts releasing FBI documents, you know, we're going to have a D-class extravaganza.
Maybe Trump will start releasing documents.
I hope so.
That's going to be the litmus test, though, isn't it?
So many of these people, like Kosh Patel, you know, has promised, hey, if you make me head of FBI, I'm going to release the Epstein documents.
Okay!
We're going to make you the head of the FBI. So I can't wait.
Let's see the Epstein client list.
How about that?
How much you want to bet a bunch of senators are on it, huh?
And then how about Hunter Biden's laptop?
I mean, he's got immunity now.
Can we finally know the truth about what was on the laptop that, of course, the old FBI, James Comey, lied about?
They lied about it and covered it up, and they ordered Big Tech to cover it up.
And remember that during the 2020 campaign season?
All of Big Tech said the Hunter Biden laptop story is Russian disinformation, they said.
Russian disinformation.
That was a lie.
They knew it was a lie, and it was people like James Comey that pushed that lie.
So I hope Kosh Patel goes in there and just starts...
Declassing all kinds of stuff.
Like, release it!
Release the Kraken!
You know, remember that?
From four years ago?
Now it's time!
Release the Kraken!
Release it all!
Release the UFO files, too!
Release the details on where all the alien autopsy bodies are buried, and then we, the people, can go dig them up, and we might find the body of Vince Foster in there, too!
Oh, my God!
The Clinton body bags are buried next to the aliens!
What are the odds?
Let me cover some other headlines you'll find on naturalnews.com.
This is good.
TikTokgenocide.com is a new website that posts all the videos of genocide in Gaza to try to make them resistant to censorship.
Isn't that wild?
TikTokgenocide.com.
Boy, I bet you they get sued by TikTok for, you know, trademark violation or something.
But these are TikTok videos that have been saved and categorized.
I mean, they're categorized into categories.
I'm not making this up.
Here are some of the categories of the videos.
Abducting children.
Like, that's the first category.
These are alphabetical.
Abducting women.
Abducting bodies.
Because that's what Zionists do.
Ambulance graveyard.
Yeah, that's a whole category.
Ambush.
Animal abuse.
Yeah?
Because that's what the IDF does also.
Apartheid, baby beatings, beheadings, blocking ambulances, boat shootings, cemeteries, checkpoints, children's things, and many more.
So these are all found.
I'm not making this up.
It's like a horror show of genocide war crime videos.
Meanwhile, virtually every U.S. senator is like, That's awesome.
We should send them more money.
And Trump is like, yeah, let's support Israel.
They're so great.
Apparently, Trump wants more videos of bombing rubble into rubble.
Because somebody told him, I mean, he's getting up there in the years, a little hard of hearing.
Somebody told him, hey, Trump, Gaza is full of rubble.
And Trump heard the word rebels.
He thought, oh my God, there's more rebels?
He's like, bomb the rebels into rubble.
And so he tweeted out that it's time to bomb Gaza even more, but actually it's just rubble already.
So they're going to bomb rubble into rubble, which is the perfect metaphor for the U.S. economy, is building weapons to bomb rubble into smaller pieces of rubble while calling it GDP. Yes, yes.
And, you know, it brings up kind of the old economics lessons from Henry Hazlitt, you know, authors of libertarian or Austrian economics.
It's like...
The lunatics in government would probably want to bomb US cities themselves so they could boost the economy through rebuilding those cities.
Like, have Colorado Springs nuke Chicago so that you could show very high GDP in the rebuilding of Chicago.
Because, you know, that's what governments exist to do, is to destroy and call it progress.
Destroy and call it progress.
And so the bombing of Gaza, it's going to turn rubble into rubble.
And you know what's funny to me about this, though, or ironic, is that the only weapon that could actually reach the underground tunnels, the Hamas tunnels, the only weapon that could do that is the Oreshnik weapon, possessed by Russia.
That brings them in, you know, like meteors coming in at Mach 10 or 20, just hitting the ground with these tungsten carbide masses that just penetrate like floors deep of concrete and earth, you know?
Those could destroy Hamas, but Israel doesn't have those.
Oh, so sorry, Israel.
So sorry you don't have Oreshnik.
Because if they did, they'd be using them.
Instead, they can only bomb the surface, which is already rubble.
So, you know, Trump's going to really support the U.S. military, and we're going to practice bombing piles of rubble in the Middle East, and we're going to call it national defense.
Can't wait for that.
All right, another story we published.
Israel's finance minister says that he wants Gaza to become Israel.
And he calls for the thinning of the Palestinian population.
He wants a thinning of the population.
Well, isn't that called ethnic cleansing?
It's not a weight loss program.
Oh, we want to thin the population.
They don't mean they want them to be more skinny.
They mean they want them dead.
Here's a story.
Internal polling from the Kamala Harris campaign never showed her beating Trump.
The internal polling always knew that she would lose, but the corporate media lied and lied and lied and said she's going to win.
So, of course, the corporate media, all they do is lie.
They lied about COVID. They lied about Kamala.
They lied about Trump.
They lied about everything.
Anybody who trusts the corporate media at this point is a moron, obviously.
But, you know, it's called gaslighting.
That's what they do.
The White House is telling Ukraine that they need to lower their conscription age from 25 years old to 18 in order to recruit more soldiers involuntarily.
So they're also raiding parties and concerts and rave gatherings and things.
So it turns out if you're a young man in Ukraine and you're under the age of 25, currently you can't be sent to the front lines to die.
But that may change soon.
Because, you know, obviously they're running out of soldiers.
And Biden is pressuring Ukraine.
Go get the 18-year-olds.
You know, pretty soon it's going to be like child kidnapping.
And after that, take the 15-year-olds, you know.
Put a uniform on them.
Send them to the front lines.
That's what the White House wants.
Like I said, America or America's leaders are willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
You know, the U.S. State Department never cared how many Ukrainians were killed or injured in this war, as long as Russia was weakened.
And sadly, even that didn't work.
But so many Ukrainians lost their lives or their limbs, and that's due to people like Victoria Nuland.
That's the U.S. State Department that did that.
So what a travesty.
What Those are crimes against humanity, what America did to Ukraine, and how America kept pushing on Russia, basically provoking Russia into the special military operation.
All right, next story.
Remember the Jaguar car company that recently had that super faggity ad that just featured...
I was mocking it as something that looked like, what was that guy?
That character, Ruby Rod, out of the movie Fifth Element.
Yeah, that's what the Jaguar ad was, and everybody mocked it.
It was just, oh my God, this is the dumbest thing we've ever seen.
It's so retarded.
It's so faggoty.
It's filled with so much virtue signaling.
No reasonable person would ever want to be seen in a Jaguar vehicle ever after that.
Well, Ferrari said, hold my beer.
Ferrari, Ferrari now has, they've announced a commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
And before you are allowed to buy a Ferrari, the Ferrari company checks your social media to make sure that you pass the purity test of wokeness, to make sure you're sufficiently woke to be seen in a Ferrari.
Which apparently is going to be all woke and faggoty just like Jaguar.
So if you're woke enough, if you're a big enough libtard, you could buy a Ferrari, but only if you're approved by the Ferrari company.
I mean, this is called tolerance and inclusivity.
So there you go.
If you drive a Jaguar or a Faguar and if you drive a Ferrari...
Then you are a woke-tart.
I mean, what kind of car company makes you, like, qualify for their car by being sufficiently woke, like you have to be transgender or something?
Is Ferrari going to be the car company where the automobile self-identifies as a cool car?
Or you have to be a biological man pretending to be a woman to be able to buy a Ferrari?
I mean, It's beyond insane, but hey, it's a free market.
Let everybody just not buy Ferraris and Fag Wars ever again.
Problem solves itself.
If they want to be all woke-tard, well, guess what?
People can choose to drive something else, like a Toyota or a Ford.
No, wait, not a Ford.
Not a Ford.
Ford's all globalists.
Probably not a Ford.
Maybe a Dodge.
Yeah, maybe a Chevy, something like that.
Definitely not a Ferrari.
I mean, who spends that kind of money on luxury vehicles anyway?
Seriously.
Only a shallow person.
Would drive something like that, in my opinion.
I mean, I'm not offending anybody listening if you happen to have one of those vehicles, but I just feel like a luxury car says something about you that's not very positive.
That's my opinion.
I'm all about utility and comfort, yes.
If you need leather seats or whatever, I totally get that, but...
Overpaying for a Jaguar or a Ferrari?
I mean, a Ferrari, isn't that like a race car?
Why do you need a race car when you're going to get groceries?
You don't need a race car.
What, are you racing off the stop sign?
Racing at the traffic lights?
I mean, What are you, 19?
You know, come on.
Nobody needs a car like that.
I used to drive a Toyota minivan and people teased me about it.
I'm like, are you kidding me?
This thing is like the ultimate SUV. You got so much room in a Toyota van.
It's amazing.
It's got like vertical room in it.
You can build a bunk bed inside there.
It's crazy.
People were mocking me.
You drive like a family van, man.
Do you realize how much stuff I need to bring with me when I go speaking?
I've got to bring blenders.
I've got to bring food ingredients and everything.
I've got to bring all my own pillow covers and things because I don't trust all the laundry detergent out there.
I've got to bring a bunch of gear.
If I go speak somewhere, a minivan actually worked out great.
So people mocked me, but at least I wasn't driving a Faguar.
Anyway, so those are some of the stories you can find at naturalnews.com.
And remember, we'll be increasing our publishing schedule next week.
So you'll see that.
It's going to be really, really interesting.
Very cool stuff.
All right.
Now, for today's interview, I did a 90-minute conversation with Michael Yon.
And, oh, I even took notes.
I took notes on this one so I could tell you what we talked about.
This is great.
Here it is.
Historical Books.
Repeating the Economic Mistakes of History.
America's Bitcoin Reserve.
Crypto Decentralization.
Why Gold Persists as a Store of Value.
The Rise of Robots and the Extermination of Humanity.
War, Famine, and Pestilence.
Red mosquitoes as genetically engineered organisms, and Michael Yon killed a Bill Gates mosquito on camera.
And I think that made Bill Gates angry, by the way.
Volcanic explosions and global famine due to dimming of the sun, comet impacts, and asteroids.
Gobar gas and the use of cow dung in Nepal as renewable energy.
You don't want to miss that story.
About Gobar gas.
Gobar gas.
It's a natural resource in Nepal.
And then the escalation of war in the Middle East, Israel, Hamas, and Iran, and so much more.
So those are the things that Michael Jan and I talk about.
And I think you'll love this conversation.
I always enjoy talking with Michael Jan because he's traveled, he's seen the world, he's intelligent, he's informed, and he's wise.

What is that?
It's actually not tropical.
It's actually kind of chilly right now.
I'm in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and this is just the background.
You know, nothing just turned on the light, and that's what it was.
And it's just a cheap Airbnb, actually.
And you know, the people here in Argentina are extremely friendly.
And they're very good to their children, I've noticed.
I always pay attention to that.
And they got some incredible bookstores.
We've been going to a lot of...
Oh man, I should have brought some of those books and put them on the table.
They got an old bookstore here that matches some of those Japanese antique bookstores.
And they've got books, you know, I always, that's one of the ways I judge countries, you know, is their bookstores.
And, like, here's one I picked up the other day.
Thanks, Misako.
This one's called The Germans.
It's an old book about, it's not about Germany, it's about Germans living around the world.
Here's one about crocodiles.
You know, I used to catch alligators, so when I started reading, he's talking about how to catch crocodiles.
I used to catch alligators.
And here's one about Christian communists, which is interesting because Christian communists, the only place I've seen a high concentration of Christian communists is in Japan, which is weird.
There's not many Christians in Japan.
It's maybe 1% or fewer, something like that, to be directly accurate.
But many of them are actually communists, which is weird because, you know, as Americans, we're not used to that, right?
But, you know, but there are Christian communists in the United States.
For instance, like Hooterites are known for being, you know, internally communist, right?
I mean, they're not trying to make other people that, but I mean, that's just how they roll.
It's communes, right?
Right, right.
Well, since you brought up books, let me mention something to you.
I think you'll find this really intriguing, and I can't wait to show you this book, because I was able to acquire a very, very difficult book.
Now, it's a reprint of an original text from the year 1679, and it's Johannes Hevelius and his catalog of stars.
So this was a 17th century astronomer.
Oh, this is amazing.
And he actually mapped the moon visually, and that print is included in the book.
He illustrated all of his telescope setups in the 17th century, all the gear, all his log files, the motions of the planets and the moon.
And remember, this is before people knew for sure how the solar system worked.
You know?
Yeah.
So this is remarkable.
And most importantly...
1679?
Yeah, 1679. And he illustrated comets.
That's the reason why I bought the book.
Now, this book was published in 1971. I had to pay a few hundred dollars just to get this book, but it reprints from 1679. Now, his illustrations of comets are what intrigued me because...
A lot of comets, of course, keep returning, like Halley's Comet, every 76 years.
And so they're known throughout world history.
And even their periods are known, like the periodic return of the comet, right?
And he would illustrate them And those illustrations have like serpents in the sky or tails or heads.
And that perfectly matches the description of what happens in the book of Revelation with seven trumpets and seven bowls.
So there you go.
Those old books, the artwork in those books is artwork.
Yes.
You know, and like the mechanical drawings.
You know, I've told you about some of the old books I pick up in places like Japan, right?
I walked in there, talking about star maps, I walked in there earlier this year, and there was Commodore Matthew Perry, he's the American, well, sort of Admiral Commodore, who opened up Japan.
He first went in 1853, then he went back in 1854. And the Japanese, I'll call it the Black Ships.
Well, he did a report to Congress, which is four books, right?
If you look online, you'll see reports about the three books, but it's actually four.
And they're huge books.
I mean, they're about this big each.
And I saw them in this old Japanese bookstore, and I was like, I can't believe it.
This is first edition.
They came out in 1857, I think, right?
Right?
And so I bought them.
I was like, I can't believe it.
The artwork is unbelievable.
Color of birds and snakes and shells and plants.
Oh, yeah.
In the fourth book.
It's a huge amount.
Every night, the stars, right?
Like, super detailed, right?
Like you just said, like, amazing detail.
And anytime somebody comes, like Commodore Perry, to, like, map your Okinawa or something, you better probably blow their ships out of the water.
But, I mean...
But, you know, because, you know, when Commodore Perry came over, the man was brilliant.
Before he went, he bought, he got all the books he could get in Dutch and different languages, had them translated to English, studied them up.
He showed up.
He talks in his books, you know, Final Report to Congress, you know, of Japan.
He talks about how he brought whiskey for the emperor's wife and he brought a pistol, you know, the old powder kind and like a keg of powder and a bunch of ball ammunition and dresses and, you know, like everything that he brought is just amazing.
And, you know, the other day I was talking with a friend.
He found the letters from 18.
This is important as we go into economic stuff.
You know, I'm in Argentina, which has had some severe economic problems.
Masako and I were just at the Museum of Foreign Debt about a week ago, right?
Museum of Foreign Debt, right?
They have a whole museum for that?
Masako found it.
So we jumped in and went over there.
And it wasn't open, but then we're trying to get in it anyway.
And a man comes up and he asks Masako, she's Chinese, and he's a little suspicious.
She goes, no, I'm from Japan.
He's like, oh, really?
So then he starts helping us out with everything.
And anyway, so what I'm getting to is, you know, this place took a lot of foreign debt, Argentina, right?
And they did a lot of the fiat printing.
I mean, there's a million pesos banknote right there that I picked up in a market the other day.
Anyway, so listen to this.
So general...
Grant was in Japan in 1879. A friend of mine found some of his letters recently.
It's a huge amount of letters.
And General Grant is warning the Emperor of Japan.
General Grant at that time had been there for about two months.
He's warning very clearly the Emperor, do not take foreign debt.
He's like super clear.
He's like, they're going to try, these foreign actors are going to come to Japan, they're going to try to loan money to you and loan money to China, and they're going to try to make you and China fight, and they're going to sell weapons to both of you.
General Grant is saying, you know how General Grant used to talk?
Like super clear soldier terms.
He's talking like that to the emperor in his letters.
It's like super clear.
They're going to come over.
They're going to try to induce you to take all this debt.
They're going to make you and China fight each other.
They're going to sell weapons to China and set weapons to you, and they're going to own both countries.
This is the Western imperialism business model for centuries.
1879, yeah.
That was, of course, General Grant's explaining it like this is already very old.
Well, he talked about how we started that war with Mexico, too.
That was in a different book, but that was in his memoirs.
And so he was talking about 1848. You know, the memoirs that he wrote with Samuel Clemens, you know, Mark Twain, an incredible book.
And so he's talking about how he was down there with the Army trying to provoke the Mexicans to attack.
It was a lieutenant at the time.
Trying to get the Mexicans to attack us.
And General Grant, well, he wrote it after he was president, actually.
So he was a lieutenant at the time, and he's like, hey, we're trying to get those Mexicans to attack us.
We're doing everything we can, making noise next to the river, trying to get them to come over and attack us so we have causes belly, because he's like, otherwise the American people will never stand for us, just rolling over to Mexico and taking their stuff.
But if we can get them to come after us, which is what we did to Japan as well.
That's Pearl Harbor.
Most Americans don't realize that.
No, it's funny, but you and I both know that.
And you're one of the few people I've ever met who is aware of that.
But I think that's also because you study history.
And so let's bring our audience in on this to the point here, which is that, you know, Michael, you and I both are students of history.
We admire old books.
We admire historical artifacts.
We love museums.
Which is weird to hear me saying that, because as a kid, I didn't love them at all.
Exactly.
But now, I do love them.
And the thing is, all the mistakes that are being made today have been made again and again throughout history, haven't they?
Like verbatim.
You know, it's not even history rhymes.
You know, a lot of times people say, you know, history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.
It pretty strongly rhymes.
You know, like...
You know, like, for instance, General Grant, just in such clear terms, or, you know, The Creature from Jekyll Island, which you've read that book, and you've interviewed Mr. Griffin many times, I think, right?
And you were just on his show, not his show, but his Red Pill Symposium, Expo, right?
Expo, yeah.
Yeah, because I watched you on it.
And so you're aware of all these central banking things that have happened so many times.
It's not just once, right?
Right.
And now, that's clearly what's about to unfold with crypto.
It's clear that we're fading into just a new iteration of rhyming history, but this time with crypto.
Yeah, well, let's jump into the crypto topic here, because I think we need to discuss this.
With Trump coming in to power, he's talked about making crypto a reserve currency of the United States, which means, now think about this, folks, and understand, I support decentralization all the way.
I love the fact that Bitcoin can't be counterfeited itself, but what Trump is talking about is counterfeiting dollars, which is printing dollars, which is what the creature from Jekyll Island, you know, the Rothschilds, all that...
You counterfeit dollars and then you use dollars to buy Bitcoin.
So in effect, you're hyperinflating the price of Bitcoin with counterfeit US currency.
So even though Bitcoin itself can't be counterfeited, if you can trade dollars for it, then effectively the price of it can be counterfeited.
Now you have a Bitcoin bubble.
That's where this is going.
Yeah, and I just finished reading Roger Ver's book about Bitcoin.
You know, they call him Bitcoin Jesus.
And you just interviewed Tracy, who I think, I mean, you can say more about that, but that works with him.
Yeah.
You know, he's under kind of house arrest in Spain right now.
He's on Mayorkas Island.
He's able apparently to go all over the place on the island, but he can't leave because the US wants to extradite him to the United States to face some kind of tax charges.
I didn't even know the guy's name a month ago, right?
But I just read his book.
And in the Bitcoin world, he's quite famous.
But he talks about the capture of Bitcoin.
He talks about developer capture, just the way we talk about capturing politicians and military leaders.
But he talks about software developer capture and how that already has happened with Bitcoin.
And there is no reason why actually it could not be made into fiat because there's just a handful of developers that actually do it.
So there are weaknesses to it.
But if you read his book, I just finished reading it about four days ago, and he's making a compelling case, Roger Ver is, that, you know, I mean, Roger is also, he seems like a purist, is my guess.
I've never met him, I've never talked with him, I've never communicated with him.
But it sounds like he actually believes the way we believe that it should be.
We should be able to make transactions without being tracked with everything that we do.
Of course, Bitcoin can be tracked.
A lot of people think Bitcoin cannot be tracked.
It's completely false.
And it can be untracked if you really know what you're doing and the person that you send it to really knows what they're doing.
But generally speaking, it's highly trackable.
It's super trackable.
And in fact, an average person can track Bitcoin without any special tools.
Yeah, it's very easy to track.
I mean, come on, it's a public blockchain and that's why the establishment likes it.
Whereas Monero, Monero is private.
That's why I prefer Monero personally.
It's really private.
But as you know, there's different aspects to this.
There's, for instance, now we hear about El Salvador, but El Salvador is doing a custodial wallet, which is another way to control the people with Bitcoin.
And furthermore, there is another thing that they're trying to slide through because people will be confused about crypto, which I'm not an expert on crypto.
At all.
I mean, that's a whole field, right?
But there's just like with the jabs.
We weren't experts on jabs.
You're not a virologist.
I'm not a virologist.
You and I are, but we got the answer right, didn't we?
We got the answer right.
And very right, actually, without having the burden of that fake expertise, right?
But Roger Ver is quite clear that, for instance, using Bitcoin as an asset like gold, in other words, keeping it as an actual national asset, like gold or silver or oil or something, is a huge mistake.
But now I've just seen last week...
Canadian and Brazilian people in government and the U.S. government are floating the balloons right now.
This could replace gold, right?
Oh, yeah.
You don't need the briefing on that.
That makes me want to go buy more gold, actually, when you say that.
Oh, yeah.
That's exactly what I thought.
Because...
Yeah, and so I've been asking some of the Bitcoiners.
Some of the Bitcoiners are like, you know, no, let's say crypto people.
Most of them will be involved in Bitcoin.
But most of them are like, that would be a mistake.
But others are like, yeah, that's a great idea, which to me is like complete nonsense.
That's like saying, you know, I should take 10 jabs and it's safe and effective, you know, after three months of, you know, fake trials that nobody can read, you know.
But again, Roger Ver, the Bitcoin Jesus, they call him, or some people call him Bitcoin Judas.
He says that in his own book.
He's very clear that you have to watch this Bitcoin for a period of a long time until people feel that it's safe and it's not as volatile as it.
I mean, if you think silver is volatile, look at Bitcoin.
If silver's gold's volatile sister, I mean, Bitcoin's a chainsaw massacre, you know?
But I think, based on the things that I'm learning, that Bitcoin will go up, because if you can imagine, if these countries, for instance, just going by game theory, if Brazil, United States, or Different countries start actually using it as a digital gold, which is a perfect way to just steal all of our wealth, right?
I mean, people selling their gold and buying Bitcoin.
I mean, who's to say they can't inflate it beyond 21 million coins?
I mean, that's just people saying that.
Safe and effective.
It's been tested.
We don't know that.
Roger Ver lays out a case in his book that the developers are already captured.
We're talking about multi-trillion dollar stuff here.
You're talking just a handful of developers, right?
You actually make a really good point that Bitcoin has become more and more centralized.
It's still not fully centralized, but it is heavily controlled by certain companies in certain whales.
And if my issue is if there's government start...
The software writers is what I'm talking about.
And that's just people.
So if you can capture them, which is like, that's child's play.
Well, exactly.
And they can be threatened.
They can be blackmailed.
They can be ordered around.
They can be threatened with arrests like Roger Ver is.
So, yeah, exactly.
But I'm not even concerned about whether they increase the 21 million coin limit.
What I'm saying is that, I mean, let's compare Bitcoin to the BRICS currency, okay?
So the BRICS currency, which Trump has declared war against, saying he's going to slap 100% tariff on all the exports from every country that's trying to join BRICS. Yeah, give me a break.
That's not going to last, but we'll talk about that later.
But the BRICS currency is, at least according to reports, it's going to be backed by 40% physical gold that is audited and vaulted, right?
So if you're, let's say, if you're India and you want BRICS tokens, you have to first vault a bunch of gold and silver in a BRICS-approved vault and And then you are issued tokens, which are called units, according to the vaulted physical metal.
Now, what that does is it means that no country can just counterfeit the crap out of the BRICS tokens just by printing all their own currency.
And the other 60% of the units have to be a basket of the other participants' currencies.
You see what I mean?
But when it comes to what Trump wants to do with Bitcoin, The U.S. Federal Reserve is not even government, obviously.
The Federal Reserve can counterfeit unlimited trillions of dollars and use those to buy Bitcoin, pumping up Bitcoin, and it's not backed by gold or silver, so there's no limit to the pump.
Exactly.
So they can just make it, you know, 80...
So people that have already bought, you know...
You know, unknown numbers of coins can help pump that up to, you know, I'm told that BlackRock is buying a lot, you know, from Insider, actually, that BlackRock is buying tons of Bitcoin, right?
I mean, they're obviously planning on buying it up, you know, pumping it up.
I think they've actually been public about it, right?
Bitcoin's been, I mean, BlackRock's been public.
Now, I'm not against Bitcoin or crypto at all.
No, me neither.
I use it, actually, because I have to sometimes.
It's just because it's getting to the point where you, I mean, so I'm not, I mean, no means against it.
I'm just saying that using it as if it's gold, which it is not.
I mean, people accept gold around the world for, I don't know how long, thousands of years.
I mean, it's in the Bible.
I mean, so people take gold around the world.
You can Anywhere, in any country, you can use the gold.
You can sell it, right?
But Bitcoin, you know, if the electricity goes out, we all know that.
But at the same time, if you're using it as a reserve asset, as if it's gold, as if it's something like oil, I mean, it's really...
I mean, all of it will fit on something small, you know?
It'll fit in this...
You could put trillions of dollars in that amount of memory, you know what I mean, or less.
Right.
And so, okay...
Here's our national wealth and this little memory thing, right?
Come on, man.
They've been lying to us about everything.
That's a good way to just vacuum up wealth around the world.
You get all the countries, Canada, the United States, Germany, and the rest of the clown show that's going out of business because they can't run their normal business.
Germany is being deindustrialized heavily.
And it's collapsing.
It's not hard to get these clowns that run these countries to just buy into the Bitcoin or, you know, they'll take inducements and the next thing you know, they don't have any gold because somebody else, private people can get it.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I want to bring in what Catherine Austin Fitz just recently said, you know, from Solari.
And she said that the government reserve pump of Bitcoin is a scheme to allow the Bitcoin whales to sell their Bitcoin to the government.
the whales can use to buy physical assets so this is a way for the whales to cash out of bitcoin and they end up with land and gold which is that's what's going to matter when all this goes to shit if you don't mind me saying but the government's going to end up holding the bitcoin but the former bitcoin whales will end up holding vast farmland and gold if they're smart that's That's exactly what I was just saying.
I mean, it's going to just transfer.
It's going to transfer actual real gold into the hands of these people that have already bought a bunch of it.
You know, huge amounts.
I mean, clearly, it's just a way to vacuum up all the money.
And you can see the morphology of the information war that we just saw with the death jabs.
It's the same morphology I'm watching now.
Like, for instance, when I mentioned anything about Bitcoin, huge amounts of comments instantly.
And they're like, you know, go back to being a war correspondent.
The same stuff they said with the jab, right?
You know, these experts like Elon Musk, you know, the science is unequivocal, he said about the jabs, and said he got to.
Okay, so you're supposed to be the smartest dude in the world, but a lot of people that didn't graduate from high school got that answer right, and you didn't, right?
So, okay, Elon, I'm not going to take your advice on anything scientific, actually, because you got the jabs wrong, and you got this climate change.
You totally bought into it, right?
And so he can't be trusted.
And so that's what I'm getting to.
It's the same morphology.
As soon as you mention something, you'll notice that the form of the attacks is very similar.
And Roger Ver actually mentions that in his book on the capture of Bitcoin.
Well, and let me just mention this.
You know, gold and silver being physical commodities...
Something that is immutable.
You can't burn gold and turn it into carbon ash, right?
It just melts.
It just melts.
You have melted gold now, but it's all still gold.
And you can't just lose it when the power grid goes down and you don't need a password to access it.
And gold has been here since the beginning of, well, since when stars started exploding in the cosmos and they started forming gold through nuclear fusion because gold is obviously heavier than helium or hydrogen.
So it takes time to make gold by exploding stars.
And it's been here the whole time.
And there's no way for a government to make gold.
If a government could make gold, believe me, they would have already done so, and gold would be worthless by now.
So they can't.
And that's why gold has value.
Now, does Bitcoin have value?
Utility?
Absolutely.
I use Bitcoin like you said, Michael.
I love the ability to send value instantly internationally.
At a low cost.
Very low cost.
I love bypassing the banking gatekeepers that are retarded because they're like, why are you wiring this money?
Because it's my money.
Yeah, you're a big businessman.
I think you can figure it out.
You start to take, you know, $8,000 out of the bank for a trip or something.
They're like, what do you need this for?
It's like, because it's mine and I need it.
I'm running it to the Darien Gap.
You know, do you know where that is?
I'm not going to tell them, of course.
You know, it's just, yeah, like you said, but with Bitcoin, you can just do it.
But as you also know, most people...
We don't even have any idea how to use it.
Right, and they don't have self-custody, and I'm a big proponent of self-custody.
So, of course, I've hosted with my co-host Todd Pitner, I've hosted a show called Decentralized TV for a year and a half.
We've interviewed probably...
15 of the top crypto people, including Aaron Day, who I'm going to have on again to a friend of Roger Veer.
And so, you know, we've actually talked to a lot of the biggest minds in crypto, and they all say self custody is the only way it matters.
If you don't have self custody, you're not in control.
Most people buy Bitcoin and then leave it on the exchange like Kraken or Coinbase.
Well, if you leave it on the exchange, What are you doing in crypto?
You don't even understand the concept, which is supposed to be self-custody, decentralized peer-to-peer.
It's the whole point.
That's how I learned about it.
Somebody donated some Bitcoin a long time ago.
It was just a couple of Bitcoins, which ended up being worth a lot of money, though, actually.
But they were donated on Coinbase.
And so then when I actually needed them for doing Dairy and Gap stuff, actually, Coinbase didn't want to release them.
I'm like, why not?
It took me a lot of pressure to get them out.
And the only reason I was able to get them out was because I had this sort of recourse.
And somebody very high up in Bitcoin happened to know who I am due to my war work.
He had followed it for years.
And he intervened.
But if I didn't have that sort of recourse, it might still be stuck in there, right?
I spent that Bitcoin for doing dairy and gaps, you know, trying to close the U.S. border.
But why do I have to tell you where I'm getting it from?
It's not your Bitcoin, it's mine, right?
Well, right.
And I experienced with Coinbase years ago, I had an account in a state different from Texas, because that's where I used to live.
And then suddenly the state changes state laws and Coinbase locked up all the accounts of everybody in that state without notice.
Like all of a sudden you can't access your Bitcoin.
And that can happen without warning.
See, once you realize that, or suppose the government, suppose if Trump were an enemy of Bitcoin, which he's not, but maybe...
What if he had lost the election and Kamala was in there and Kamala just issues a decree that all Bitcoin is illegal in America.
All exchanges have to freeze all U.S. wallets.
They would comply.
They would comply instantly.
You would lose all your Bitcoin instantly.
Unless you have self-custody, which most people don't because they don't even know what that means.
And it's gone, right?
Right.
But again, Roger Ver is very...
Clear to point out, which actually you don't need Roger to point it out.
You don't need to be an expert in that particular thing to know some of the dangers involved.
Like, for instance, again, going back to the death jabs, we got the right answers coming from different roads that didn't include virology or vaccinology or immunology or any of that.
I got the right answer by reading tons of history books, and I just know how these things go.
I'm just like, And I've written three books on information war.
I'm like, this is a huge information war.
So the roads that I took to it didn't have anything to do with spike proteins and crap, right?
So when I hear a bunch of people talking about the details and the nitty gritty of Bitcoin, I'm like, you're talking about spike proteins, man.
You don't know what's in that code.
Unless you write it, you don't know.
Period.
Full stop.
I don't care if you are an early adopter and you bought 100,000 coins on the first day.
Unless you really wrote that code, you don't know what's in it.
Period.
And we're talking trillions of dollars at stake here, ultimately, right?
Ultimately, as this continues to go the direction that it's going.
And obviously, if you have only a handful of developers, you're going to have the entire jungle of coercion coming at you, right?
I mean, they're going to be trying to get everything...
You know, everybody's going to be trying to get access.
They don't even know who this Satoshi guy is, the Japanese guy who supposedly started Bitcoin, right?
They don't even know who he is.
It starts with a myth and goes from there, right?
Again, it's very useful.
I like it.
The idea is obviously very good, but we know how these things go.
They get weaponized.
That's just humans, right?
Yeah, well, government control.
And if the U.S. government becomes a whale in Bitcoin, then it can easily manipulate the Bitcoin market.
And I would say, Michael, if you go back five or ten years, let's just say pre-COVID, if you were the central bank, the Federal Reserve, wouldn't you have counterfeited Maybe hundreds of billions of dollars and already use it to buy Bitcoin because it costs you nothing to do so.
And then you can manipulate Bitcoin markets by buying and selling.
Wouldn't you have already done that if you were the favorite?
Oh, yeah.
You would have bought, you know, who owns all these Bitcoins actually?
I mean, who, you know, is it true that 90% of the Bitcoins are owned by just a tiny fraction?
1%?
I have no idea.
I don't have any idea who owns a Bitcoin.
It's something like that.
Yeah.
There's just a few wallets really that owns most of it.
That's what you would do, though.
You would buy an absolute ton of those, like a huge amount of them, but you'd have them sprinkled out enough to have plausible, you know, it's real, you know what I mean?
And you would pump up the price and you would...
You know, do the pharma side thing.
You know, just basically what we just saw with the pharma.
You know, huge amounts of how much money went into these pharma companies on the death jabs and then their other cures, medicines, whatever you want to call it, ameliorates for all the diseases and deaths that they've caused since then.
I mean, it's a whole industry.
It's not just the jab, it's the sickness that then follows and the funerals and, you know, like Chinese investing in funeral businesses in Japan and that sort of thing, pre-COVID, you know, it's kind of interesting, isn't it?
Yes, and let me point this out, that historically, governments always create the next carrot for people to push their money into.
So, for example, if you look at the dot-com boom and busts, which, you know, collapsed around 2000, As all of that was collapsing, the people in the know in advance moved into real estate, residential real estate, which became, of course, a bubble, massive bubble, 2006, 2007, until the subprime mortgage collapse happened in 2008, right?
But the smart money had already moved out of housing, and they had moved into certain areas of tech.
For example, Relatively recently, we had the AI bubble, but there's also been a bubble in many other areas, including pharma, like the whole Pfizer jab bubble.
That was a massive stock bubble.
But now Bitcoin backed by the government or participated by the government, that can become the next bubble.
It's like the system wants people to chase the next FOMO. But in reality, the average person always gets screwed.
They always end up being the person that loses 99%.
And if they had just bought freaking gold in 1999 and held on to it and done nothing, they would be better off today.
Yeah, I mean, the bottom line, you know, the bottom line is that old knowledge is still, there's a reason why so many cultures are so deeply into gold, like we've talked about it before.
Thais, Chinese, Indians, Vietnamese, all across Asia, except for Japan, they used to be big into gold, but Japanese have been brainwashed away from gold just like Americans have.
You know, somebody that I've talked about this more extensively is James Bradley, the author of Flags of Our Fathers.
He's a gold bug and he studies gold quite a lot.
I mentioned it to you before.
I called him up one time and I said, you know, when did Americans stop realizing that gold...
You know, I could sense there was an information war going on against gold in America because I've written three books on information war, you know?
And so you can see it.
I just didn't know the actual details of it.
And he said, 1973. He said, 1971, of course, August 15th, is when we went off the gold standard, right?
Magically, because, you know, the French were like, hey, we want our gold.
I wonder why.
Yeah.
Because the dollar is supposed to be convertible to gold, and the French are like, where's our gold?
Yeah, so we're like, okay, here's your oil, right?
And so, but then he said, and James Bradley said, I'll send him this.
Actually, he watches your program.
Probably have to send it to him.
But he's actually in Mauritius right now, by the way.
But he said in 1973, right off the top of his head without studying anything, he's like, 1973, after that point, there's no...
You know, in MBA programs and talking about, you know, economics and whatnot, they stopped talking about the extra pyramid on gold, like, you know, the extra inverted pyramid with gold at the bottom, the very tippity-top bottom, not the top.
And, you know, after that's fiat cash and all these sorts of things, securities don't.
But the point is that he said in 1973, I haven't been able to audit this because I haven't spent the time on it, but likewise in Japan, like Japanese, Masako and I, We've been looking through old Japanese work quite a lot because we're trying to figure out when did Japanese get pulled away from gold?
Because they're also taught you need to save money in fiat.
That's what you should do.
Good Japanese save their money in fiat, like good Americans open a savings account.
It's a total psyop.
Like I was taught since I was, you know, when I took algebra and calculus, you know, when I was very young, you start to, you're practicing calculations on how to take out a loan.
That didn't even cross my mind until recent times.
I'm like, you know, when I was, you know, studying all this various math, a lot of the math had to do with like how to calculate your amortization and these sorts of things on your loan.
They're like teaching you to take loans right there.
Of course.
Yes, right from the beginning, you know.
What do they say in Thailand?
I mentioned this to you one time before.
In Thailand, they say, big brother owns gold, little brother owns cash.
Yeah.
Okay, so let's use this as a segue to the next big topic.
So the fleecing of human producers, this is all one chapter in a larger narrative being pushed by the globalists, which is to transition our world into autonomous systems with far fewer human beings.
Wow, you got some animals back there.
Sounds like it's dog time.
And as AI systems are becoming incredibly capable, I've got some breaking news on that to share, and as behavior models are becoming very Very capable.
Then the depopulation efforts by the globalists are also accelerating to eliminate what the globalists call useless eaters.
Now, let me share this with you, Michael.
I don't know if you've followed any of this, but the NVIDIA company has released An Earth simulator, a digital Earth simulator.
It's the entire Earth with the models of physics all built in.
And I think it's called the Omni World or something like that.
And it's a simulator for robotic code and robotic algorithms to be able to test out robot control systems iteratively.
So that you can evolve code and test it in a physical simulator with a massively accelerated time, by the way.
So you could do like a million days in one minute inside the simulator, and then the robot has the perfect algorithms for how to behave.
And then boom, you upload that to the real robot in the real world.
Now you have a robot soldier that was just trained in one minute.
Or a robot chef or a robot agricultural strawberry picker.
You see what I'm saying?
So as China starts rolling off the humanoid robots off the assembly lines, which will begin in about one year, they'll be doing like a million humanoid robots a year.
Then the software that's going to go into it's going to be this NVIDIA world simulation software.
Those humanoid robots will be able to take over 70 to 80 percent of human labor jobs.
That's really close now.
What do you think?
I mean, that's unbelievable, really.
Then, you know, with drones, they can drop those little man soldiers out in the jungles and the caves and find everybody and start killing them.
I mean, that's straight up hardcore genocidal tools, you know.
And they will use them for those things.
Absolutely.
Well, but my point is that until just now in history, I mean, literally until the last 90 days, it was thought that robotic soldiers would be like 20 years away.
Now, people, and I follow the AI and the machine learning communities very, very closely.
I talk to a lot of people in this space because I'm building an AI engine that is, well, we're going to release it in 2025, and it's revolutionary.
It's just freaking mind-blowing.
But...
What I've come to realize is that really, really good humanoid robots with behavior models are really only like two years away, not 20 years.
That's pretty intense.
And you see some of them that they've already had for 10 or 15 years had some agility already.
And you know how these things go.
They have that slow boot up period and then the next thing you know, you got one that can fly and swim and climb up a building like Spider-Man.
Yes.
And all those algorithms can now be tested in the simulator of the world with the laws of physics.
In other words, they no longer have to test out code on a robot in our world.
They can test it in the simulated, the hollow world, and then upload the winning code to the physical robot and then say, go off and do this, and it'll do it.
So every task you can think of.
Yeah, I mean, you can only let your imagination go how this plays out.
And obviously, the people that are running these things will eventually go to war with each other, and that's how humans do things.
And you'll have robot on robot, and when somebody loses, they're going to get genocided.
Well, absolutely.
I was even imagining what happens if the IDF that's running out of soldiers, they're having a lot of soldiers even commit suicide.
If they had 100,000 robot soldiers, of course they would send them in to just kill every living human being in Gaza.
Notice Trump just made his announcement that if the If the hostages aren't released, he's going to hit Hamas harder than has ever been hit in the history of war or something like that.
I saw that.
I was joking because he's going to bomb the rubble with more bombs to make more rubble.
Yeah, exactly.
What about the J6ers?
Is he talking about those guys?
Well, he is.
Since Joe Biden just gave us the gift of pardoning Hunter Biden, that basically just opened the floodgates for Trump.
No one can object to Trump's pardons now.
So thank you, Joe.
It's like a golden ticket for Trump.
Pardon everybody that you want to, you know?
That could be a lot of people, obviously.
There's no telling how this plays out, as you can imagine.
This is going to get very intense.
I mean, it's not suddenly everything's good and it's over.
It's ratcheting up.
Well, absolutely, but let me refocus us back on the robot takeover theme combined with depopulation.
So you and I know, Michael, that the vaccine jabs were kind of the initial chapter of a depopulation weapon, but you have written and spoken extensively about war, famine, and pestilence and how they go together.
And I believe you're absolutely correct in that the pestilence phase is coming next.
Can you talk about what you've seen, what you think is coming?
Because the food supply chains are becoming very dicey.
And in the U.S., the FDA is approving these climate change vaccines to be put into the meat supply, which is what?
So you're not going to be able to trust the food soon.
Speaking of pestilence, I'm in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The other night, Masako and I were speaking with a Venezuelan woman who is here because Venezuela is being Venezuelan.
She started talking about Bill Gates mosquitoes.
There was a long conversation, then we ended up in that.
She goes, this is the Venezuelan woman.
Her English is very good.
She's like, yeah, the mosquitoes here in the spring.
We're in spring right now, but it's not hot yet.
But soon, you know, the mosquitoes will be bad, right?
And I just see one every now and then.
But she said, you know, when it gets warm, there'll be a lot of mosquitoes.
And she said they've been warned now because the Bill Gates mosquitoes, genetically modified.
She was tracking on all that stuff.
She said there's these red mosquitoes.
And they're warned not to kill the red mosquitoes.
I said, red mosquitoes?
And she's like, yes, I don't want to see one of these things, you know, and I'm afraid of them.
And I said, have you seen one?
She said, no, I have not seen one.
And so anyway, Masako looked it up online.
Yeah, there's articles about, yep, straight up, red mosquitoes.
And they've been, you know, people have been warned not to kill the red ones.
Because those are the genetically modified ones?
Yep.
You can't make up this stuff, Michael.
I mean, it's like, there it is.
You can find it in like 30 seconds, you know?
Yeah.
So those are the mosquitoes that are supposed, they're genetically engineered, they're supposed to breed with the other mosquitoes and cause them all to die.
I don't know.
Speaking of wind, let's talk about screw worms that we've talked about before.
Let's talk about pestilence and then go over to screw worms.
Pestilence, as you know from the Bible, it's not just, say, yellow fever.
It can be...
You know, it could be rats.
It could be mice.
It could be a huge amount of rabbits.
It could be, you know, locusts, right?
It could be asteroids, by the way.
Yeah.
In the Bible, pestilence can also refer to being shelled by comet fragments.
I actually discovered that.
Yes, 100%.
Oh, you know, there's been some...
What was it, 1832 with the big, incredible media?
Was it 1832, the huge meteor shower?
It was like unbelievable.
You should see some of the artwork of it, you know, because there weren't cameras yet, you know?
But, you know, what's interesting though is the artists were quite good though.
And so when you look at some of the old artwork that people drew in color, like in Commodore Perry's books, or many of these old books that are in color, right?
And then you look at the way these birds look now, they're like, oh yeah, it's a dead ringer.
I mean, the colors are just right.
You know, in the 1816, right?
Was it the 1816 volcano in Indonesia that caused the year without the summer, right?
That's right.
And they...
Maybe 1815, and then 1816 was the year without the summer, right?
Am I right on that?
I believe you're correct.
I'm just trying to recall the name of that volcano.
It was called...
It's like a really funny name.
It's a really funny...
I know the name, actually.
It wasn't Krakatoa, for those who are in Indonesia.
It was called Tamburo.
Tamburo.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Here's what's interesting, Michael.
I look at these old books, and I see color stuff in these antique bookstores all the time.
So I look at color of a...
Of a mockingbird color drawings of it, which, you know, I'm like, well, that's what a blue jay or a mockingbird does look like.
I grew up with them.
You know what I mean?
So, I mean, they got it dead right.
So what I'm getting to is when it came to that volcano in the year without a summer because it put up so much ash globally, right?
It caused famines.
They had food problems and Switzerland and Vermont, all over the place.
It wasn't like a global famine, but they had food problems all over the place, right?
Because it reduced the global temperatures.
David Dubine talks about stuff all the time.
One of the things that they found, I read a book called The Year Without a Summer.
It was 1816, right?
You look at the paintings from that year and the next year.
From the artist and the sunsets and the sunrises were a different color orange.
You can clearly see globally, but then as it fades away, they were, I mean, so artwork from around the world actually changed its color of sunsets and whatnot.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, but actually, you know, I've been teaching a lot of Bible verses, but in Matthew chapter 24, Jesus himself talks about this, and in Revelation, it talks about how the moon turns blood red after the stars fall from the sky, the sun goes dim, and the moon is blood red, and the sky rolls up like a scroll, like one-third of the sky is obscured by the clouds.
And the earth shakes.
These are all referring to comet impacts.
It's very clear across Revelation.
Matthew 24, it's in Zephaniah, it's in Isaiah.
I mean, I'm actually, I think I've taught more on this than anybody else right now living, for sure.
Comet impacts are coming.
They have happened, you know, even in recent history, in Siberia, Tunguska, the Tunguska event, which happened, I forgot what year, in the 1800s, it leveled like 17 million trees because it was an airburst event.
Was it like 1812 or something?
I don't remember now.
Yeah, it was a long time ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, I forgot the year, but it was so difficult to get to that even the Russian scientists had to have a whole, like just a hiking expedition to even reach the site.
But it didn't even, the comet didn't even hit the ground.
It was an airburst comet, so it was probably like less than 200 meters in diameter or something like that.
But the airburst event just leveled millions of trees, hundreds of thousands of acres.
I mean...
I've seen the photos, and since cameras that could take those photos, I think, weren't really out there until maybe 1848. I wonder what year that happened.
I don't think it was 1812. It must have been after that.
It's unbelievable.
Let me just look it up here.
Yeah.
What about the meteor crater in Arizona?
I've gone out to look at that thing.
Okay, sorry.
1908. I'm sorry.
It's 1908. 1908. Yeah.
Wow.
Well, anyway, the cameras that could take that level of photo were definitely not out until about 1848. Or later.
But in any case, around that time.
But you've seen those photos.
They're pretty intense.
But you look at that meteor crater in Arizona.
And what's weird is when I go to Arizona, and I often mention it to people from Arizona, there's people that never heard of it.
They live in Arizona.
I'm like, how can you not hear them?
I came all the way from Florida to see that thing, man.
I came from Florida to that hole.
Yeah.
Have you seen that crater?
Yeah.
No, I've seen it.
And that's not even a very big one compared to what has hit us.
But listen to this.
I'm reading this now about Tunguska, which, by the way, the natives who lived there at the time, they raised reindeer.
And the Tunguska event, it was recorded in the Native people's language and stories that it blew people off their feet, like through them, even when they were many, many miles away from this, and it slaughtered millions of reindeer.
Turns out it leveled 500,000 acres of trees.
Now, flattened.
Now, think about it, Michael.
How much force does it take to flatten trees?
I mean, like they were cut at the base.
How much force does that take?
It's like a bomb force.
And those are serious trees up there.
Yeah.
We're talking about atomic bomb level events.
Oh, more than that.
We're talking like super...
Super hydrogen bomb or more, like a lot more than that, I think.
500,000 acres?
Yeah.
How many square miles is that?
I mean, that's got to be much bigger than any hydrogen bomb, bigger than the SAR bomb, I'm guessing.
Well, according to the online sources here, it was equivalent to a thousand times Hiroshima.
So 15 megatons.
If it's 500...
500,000 acres flattened.
That's got to be more than 1,000 times Hiroshima.
Well, it's estimated to be 15 megatons equivalent of TNT, and Hiroshima was about 15 kilotons.
So a lot of the warheads now are like 15 megatons, according to what I read anyway, but...
Right, but this was estimated to have experienced an airburst at an altitude of 5 to 10 kilometers.
So it was pretty high up, and so that's why it impacted such a large area.
But did you know that just a few years ago, let's see, there was a comet airburst over Russia.
Let me find the name.
Oh, here it is.
Chelyabinsk Media.
Oh, I saw that.
Yeah.
Because people caught it on video, and you're like, ugh.
That's unbelievable.
So that was in 2013. It exploded over Russia February 15, 2013. A 20-meter diameter asteroid exploded with the force of 500 kilotons of TNT, and it caused a lot of damage.
What about, was it 1832?
Because, you know, I remember Lincoln talked about the 1832, I think it was 1832 meteor showers.
He was younger then, of course.
But many people were remarking that, like, there were so many meteors coming in that you could walk outside from the light.
Yeah.
Well, you know what I'm talking about?
Like, what in the world was that?
These things, they luminesce based on the friction with the atmosphere, and they do turn night to day.
Absolutely.
I mean, I've seen thousands of thousands.
I've seen probably tens of thousands of meters, because I go out and see the showers sometimes, right?
And I've been up to Nepal for like a year, and you know what I'm saying?
So, I mean, I've seen a lot, but I've never seen, like, enough that I could walk out It's just more like.
I think it was 1832. That shower was absolutely off the books.
I wish I could look it up right now, but it was just, you look at some of the old artwork, and nobody ever seems to talk about that anymore.
I may have first heard that from David.
I was calling up David about something, Dubai, and he mentioned that, and I started studying up on it more.
And then I realized, wow, that was an intense meteor shower.
Well, you know that in the news recently, okay, there's an asteroid named Apophis that is called the God of Destruction, and it's going to come near the Earth in 2029, they say.
But, of course, I interview people and I talk to people and I've heard the theory.
This is just an unconfirmed rumor, just to be clear.
But there's a theory that the governments and people like Elon Musk, that they know there is an approaching asteroid that's going to impact us.
And that it might be an extinction level event.
And that's why Elon's trying to get off planet.
And that's why rich people are building so many underground bunkers.
They're trying to survive an extinction level event that's incoming, but they won't tell the people about it.
So that's a fun theory.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it would probably leak out, though, through somebody like the Russians.
Somebody would talk about it.
Because it's not like the U.S. government controls everything.
There's other people out there, French and the Chinese and whatnot, you know?
I know, but, like, if the asteroid is far enough away, it wouldn't be visible except by just certain really high-end government telescopes until it gets closer.
That's true.
At that point, then...
You know, amateur astronomers are like, wait, hey, wait a second.
This thing's coming.
Yeah, and we're going to hit.
You know, as a kid, I would read about, you know, the scientists, physicists talking about how could we address this thing?
You know, if we hit it with a bunch of hydrogen bombs or whatever, but it could split up then, right?
Right.
And then you could get hit with, you know, 20 of them instead of one or whatever.
Yeah.
Or lock onto it with a rocket and start redirecting it a little bit way in advance.
Yeah, very incredibly difficult to do that with the masses that they have.
But, I mean, and Hollywood's covered this, like the movie Deep Impact and whatever has covered this before.
I mean, the truth is Earth is hit all the time by small ones, but a big one that ends cities or nations?
So that's going to happen sooner or later.
Maybe not in our lifetimes, though.
Who knows?
You know something, Michael?
Like, you know, I spent a year in Nepal, right?
Like, I walked up to Mount Everest a couple times, just to the bottom, right?
Yeah.
But I mean, there was a lot of people that come from all over the world.
I've walked all over Nepal, like Annapurna, several times, that sort of thing.
But there's a huge amount of stars out there, right?
A lot more than you'll see in Hawaii, right?
Because it's very high, very dry.
And not a lot of light.
I mean, you're out in the Himalaya, right?
You're seeing the Milky Way.
It looks like you could scoop it out like ice cream.
But what was interesting is many times I've met people out there That were from like New York or something like that, Tokyo, and quite a few from like Tokyo that had never seen stars.
I heard that many, many times.
They're like, oh, they'd see the Milky Way and they're like, You know, like, I mean, seriously, like, literally, like, you know, like, they, because oftentimes they're not, they're still not out at nighttime, because you track all day, and then they're inside by candlelight and crashed out because they're tired.
And I would, you know, like, come out, look at this, you know, and there's, you see a huge amount of media, you should see some of my photos from Nepal, they're unbelievable.
I mean, just like I'm a double and all this stuff, Everest at night and all this.
But you can just see huge amounts of meteors if you put the...
But the thing is, what I'm getting to is, many people have never seen stars.
There's a lot of...
Yeah.
I mean, like, it's stunning.
You know, and they've never seen the Milky Way.
When they see it, it freaks them out, actually.
Yeah.
Because, you know, when you see the Milky Way and you're in a place like Nepal, you know, and you're at, say, 10 or 15,000 feet, right?
I mean, you know, it's pretty bright.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's like a river across the sky.
I mean, you're looking at one of the spiral arms of our galaxy, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What I like to do, though, just for those listening, if you want to experience this, buy some night vision optics, and you can do this in here.
Just put them on and look up.
And you're going to see, there's all kinds of stuff flying around up there, folks.
You're going to be stunned what you see if you get a PVS-14.
Yep, totally.
Just get a PVS-14.
Look up.
And, like, your neck will hurt because you'll spend so long.
You're like, what is all this stuff flying around?
It's not just satellites, stuff moving in different directions.
There's, like, a whole space hub of activity going on up there.
I'll lay it back with binocular nods, you know, and just watch it, like, until your eyes start hurting.
Totally.
What could possibly be next, you know?
Totally.
You know what would be a good idea would be to take those up to...
In the Himalaya, because every time I've used NOV, it's always been like in Iraq or Afghanistan.
I mean, the skies can be dark in some places, but it's not like high altitude, dry, dark, you know?
True.
True.
Well, but see, this is a great metaphor for everything that we talk about, Michael.
It's like you and I, we talk about things that are true.
They're real, but they're largely unknown to our fellow humans.
Right.
Yeah.
It's wild.
It's like people don't even know what world they live in.
Oh, you know, I grew up in Florida and Yankees would come down all the time.
And, you know, because I would, since I grew up there, so I would see the Yankee kids because they would, you know, we would play together and stuff.
But often I heard like, wow, there's so many cows here.
They've never seen cows before.
Hadn't seen chickens.
Yeah.
One time I was in Costa Rica, I was out of the army and that sort of thing, and there was a Japanese woman there, and I was with a group of people, and we were all barefoot, and we started walking down near, and it was a grassy area, and she stopped, and everybody else kept walking.
I was like, are you okay?
And she looked kind of apprehensive.
I was like...
I was like, is there a snake or something?
And she goes, oh, I've never done this before.
She'd never touched her bare foot on grass before.
You're kidding me.
Yeah.
I said, here, I'll put my foot down.
And then when I take my foot off, you put your foot where mine was.
It's not going to hurt you.
And so she was really cautious.
And then she started getting cool with it.
And then she caught up with everybody.
And I was like, it's not going to hurt you.
Just put your footsteps where mine were and everything will be good.
Wow.
Yeah, so just imagine, there's many, many, many people, never seen the stars, never seen a chicken, don't know what a cow...
Oh man, when the Nepalese come over to Florida, our cows eat different food than theirs eat, right?
I spent a year in Nepal.
It can make...
When you see a Nepalese person, ask them, what do you think of American cows?
They'll be like...
The smell of it makes them sick.
Because the cow dung in America, they call it, in Nepalese language, it's called gobar.
Gobar in Hindi as well.
It's called gobar, which is cow dung, right?
So they have gobar gas, which you make, anyway.
But the point is, when they smell the gobar from American cows, it'll make them barf, man.
If you're talking with a Nepalese person, a lot of times you'll see them working at convenience stores.
Just say namaste and, you know, where are you from?
If they're from Nepal, ask them what they think about the cow smells.
Right.
Well, that's true.
The cow patties are very different in Nepal.
And don't the natives there use them as a heat source for their cook stoves?
Oh, I've had many, many, many meals cooked on them.
And they'll clean their floors with them.
They have songs about it.
They call it Gobar.
They'll have songs about Gobar Gas because it's such an important part of...
I mean, they clean floors with it and stuff.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Because it's like...
And they make this Gobara Gas, which is a biogas.
I've written extensively about it.
I've written, I think, three major dispatches.
But I researched those in Nepal, in Laos, in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Afghanistan.
Anyway, I wrote those dispatches to try to get General Petraeus to put that in because it was actually Gurkha's.
We're trying to say, like, you need to get Gobar gas, get put into Afghanistan.
And they all knew I had been to...
I was out with Gurkha soldiers a lot, right?
And this one Gurkha sergeant major is like, you need to get Gobar...
Michael, get the Gobar gas put into the Afghanistan.
Because he had been in that...
I was going to a jungle school with him in Brunei.
And he goes...
And every day he would say, Michael, what are the five virtues of the Gobar gas?
And he was like...
I'm like...
Education, sanitation, light.
Heat.
What?
Heat.
Yeah, well, light because they light the candle and the kids can study, and that's why the education and the heat and the light, those are all together, right?
The heat, light, and all that.
But yeah, so light and education.
Oh, there's one of the mosquitoes, man.
I hope it's not red.
Uh-oh, Bill Gates doesn't like you now.
Yeah, I know.
Where's my flashlight?
Anyway, I got my Surefire somewhere.
But anyway, so he's like, every day he'll be, Michael, what are the...
And when I would be tired, we're out in this tracking school.
He's like, you are tired now.
Let's operate your mind.
It's like, what are the five virtues of the GoBardcast?
Education, energy, fertilizer, sanitation, and one other thing.
Anyway, and so because of him, I started doing all this research with this Dutch SNV, which is sort of like Dutch USAID, right?
And I was with them.
I spent months with them, man.
So I did these very detailed dispatches, and Petraeus did pick it up for Afghanistan.
He actually messaged me.
He goes, you know, I read those dispatches on Go Bar to Gas, and I'm inviting you back to Afghanistan to see what we're doing.
I was like, actually, I wrote those because I had somebody put it on your desk.
I flew back and I went to see what they were doing and stuff.
But I mean, because, you know, the Gurkha sergeant major wanted that gobar gas in Afghanistan because it's so important in Nepal and actually India and Thailand.
Not Thailand.
It's not that important in Thailand.
But it's important in many other countries, right?
And he thought it would be very helpful for the Afghans because he had been there in Afghanistan.
And so it would be.
And so I think they've got it now in Afghanistan.
I know they were putting it in when I left.
You know who needs Gobar gas is Basif in Germany.
Yeah, actually.
Since they lost Nord Stream.
Industrial strength.
But the thing is, is you know what?
Gobar gas, I learned this.
Gobar gas, by the way, again, Gobar is Hindi and also Nepalese language for cow dung, right?
So you take the cow dung or other digestibles, as you well know, Michael, and you put it in the digester and it, you know, makes methane and then the effluents, good fertilizer and that sort of thing.
But interestingly though, so I did a lot of research with Germans and mostly Dutch though and Nepalese and others.
Go Bar Gas is not good for schools because there's school vacation and the children aren't feeding it anymore because they're gone feeding it by going to the toilet, right?
And also it's not good for hospitals because the antibiotics kill the bacteria that make the thing.
Sure.
So there's all kinds of...
But all in all, it's incredibly useful.
Incredibly useful.
And it's actually very...
Oh, the fifth one was ecology.
So it was education.
You know, the effluent's good for fertilizer.
It's good for light, energy, heat.
It's good for education because the kids can study later at night by the light and they don't have to collect the wood.
So the collecting the wood part is you go to some parts of Nepal and they've just cut down all the trees for...
Firewood, right?
And you'll see the kids walking for miles with their mothers in the morning to pick firewood.
I mean, the things on their heads.
I've spent a year there.
You'd see, you know, many per day.
And they're not in school because they're collecting firewood because they need that to heat their...
So in addition to cooking, another thing it's good for is health because the women would cook indoors with the wood.
And...
And they get headaches and eye problems and those sorts of things.
But when you're cooking with the methane, you don't.
And also, when you're cooking at high altitude, they all use pressure cookers, every single one, right?
In fact, you're crazy if you don't have good pressure cookers, right?
And so the pressure cookers, you need those because you're at high altitude.
And if you don't have a pressure cooker, I mean...
You'll use a lot...
Fireworks or something.
You'll use a lot more wood and it takes forever to cook it and that sort of thing.
But actually, you know, I was out with the Maoist a lot, right?
And the Maoist started making those pressure cooker bombs, right?
Those started up there and then they had them and then they...
Started getting them in India, and then they started getting them in other places like Chechnya and stuff, and then we had them in Boston, right?
So the pressure cooker bomb started up there with those mouths that I was out with.
But interestingly, then the Nepalese government outlawed pressure cookers in certain areas.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, yeah, man, because those pressure cookers are absolutely vital, right?
Absolutely.
And that made the war explode even more, right?
Yeah, you can't take away people's cooking utensils, you know?
I'm like, you can't take away their pressure cookers, man.
I mean, this is Nepal, and you don't need the briefing of why.
I mean, the Nepalese knew.
The Nepalese army and police, you know, which was trained by the U.S., I mean, they...
But they did it anyway.
Anyway, the mouse ended up winning, actually.
And you know, one of the things that the mouse were doing, I was out with them a lot, right?
I was just there as a tourist, but I was kind of watching what they were doing, too, just to try to figure it out.
But one of the things that they were doing was trying to get everybody to speak their own languages.
Just like we see happening in Thailand and other places now in the United States, get everybody to speak your own languages, sing your own songs from your own culture, get angry at people from other cultures who sing your songs, that sort of stuff.
Divide and conquer, right?
Get everybody to wear their old You know, clothing from their own tradition.
So you would go up into some villages and, you know, the next village you would go to, like a 30-minute walk away, completely different clothing and things like that.
It was just a malice trying to get everybody to split up.
Yeah.
You have the Bloods and the Crips at high altitude.
And, you know, they're Nepalese, man.
You know, Nepalese are, no kidding, fighters.
Yeah, for sure.
Go ahead, sir.
Well, in the few minutes we have left, and thank you for spending time with us here, but I want to move towards wrapping this up, but I need to ask you about Trump and the war.
I mean, multiple wars.
Trump is already beginning to talk tough, like threatening Hamas if you don't release all the hostages by January 20th.
We're going to bomb you with the biggest and best bombs ever made in America.
We have the greatest bombs of all time!
You know how Trump talks.
They're going to be the biggest bombs.
You know, who cares?
I don't think Hamas cares.
I don't think Hezbollah cares.
I don't think Iran cares.
Because Iran's got hypersonic missiles.
The Yemenis have nullified the U.S. Navy.
Russia's got freaking Oreshnik, you know, falling meteor weapons now.
I mean, does the world care about a threat from the U.S. military right now if it's non-nuclear?
You can see this war is doing exactly what you put on Twitter a few weeks ago.
It's growing, as wars always do, and it's growing unpredictably, and they always last longer than you expected.
Oftentimes, too, the people who thought that they were sure winners end up getting smashed flat and losing.
That happens a lot.
Israel could actually lose this war.
I'm not saying that they will.
I don't know.
Nobody knows.
If anybody says they know, they just don't, you know.
I mean, Israel could easily lose this war, but it's clearly exploding.
And it's out of control.
Because as you know, once a war starts, it is like a fire.
It now has its own life.
You have the power to start it or not to start it.
But once you started it, and once it gets to be a certain size, it's now its own being.
And the war, nobody controls the war anymore.
Nobody.
Nobody has the power to turn it off.
Netanyahu, Trump, they do not have the power to turn it off.
Right?
Okay folks, we just lost Michael there because power went out.
Where he is in Argentina.
And, well, just when we were getting to the really cool part.
Nevertheless, actually, every conversation with Michael Yan is fascinating, as you can tell.
And he's one of the best or most interesting people you'll ever hear from.
And he and I can just go for hours talking about what's happening in the world or what we learned from history or how it applies to today.
The bottom line, though, I think Michael and myself are both very skeptical of Trump's ability to make good on any kind of promises to defeat Hamas or Hezbollah or Russia or Iran.
And it seems to me, this is my opinion, That the U.S. Empire, the West, is in its stage of rapid decline.
The currency is failing because of, you know, too much money printing.
The weaponization of the currency is failing.
Most nations want to move over to bricks.
The U.S. military is failing as its ability to project power, as we are now seeing.
With, you know, Yemen and the Red Sea and Israel and so on.
So the bottom line is the Western empires are in decline, the US empire in particular, but also the UK. And we all need to be prepared for this, you know, psychologically.
We need to be resilient.
We need to be decentralized as much as we can.
We need to be self-reliant locally.
And that's great advice for navigating what's coming.
I think 2025 is going to be a really wild year.
It's going to be a lot of military conflict.
But also, on the positive side, a lot of breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
Some that I will be announcing at brighteon.ai, by the way.
If you want to go there, brighteon.ai.
Oh, okay.
We have Michael back.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
Power went out.
Here we go.
Argentina.
Hey, no worries.
I'm glad that you are back.
Welcome back.
I was just kind of summarizing our talk and adding a little bit about the AI that's coming in 2025. But do you want to just pick up from where you left off there with the Middle East situation?
Yeah, I mean, the war in the Middle East, clearly, you know, once a war starts and it reaches, you know, the footsie phase and you're into the no-kidding knock-down drag-out, it takes on a life of its own.
And this war now has a life of its own where nobody is actually in control.
And so nobody can turn it off.
Like, Israel can't just go, okay, that's it, we're finished.
That's not how this works.
If they continue to keep fighting If they see that Israel is sufficiently weakened, they may go for it, right?
Who may go for it?
Anybody that wants to.
Anybody.
Anybody that feels sparky.
I don't know.
I don't know that it will.
But, I mean, you can see, for instance, Iraqis have now moved into Syria, which is, you know, and the Kurdish thing is kicking up.
There's many different components here that all have a life of their own.
And so again, wars like this are complex systems within complex systems.
So there's really, I mean, people can predict what they want, but the bottom line is nobody knows which way it's going to go.
And so it could do anything.
True.
All right.
Well, then I would say the bottom line for our viewers here is to really be ready for anything in 2025. But I would add, Michael, I was just talking about AI. We're going to be releasing some groundbreaking AI language models in 2025, probably by March 1st, if not earlier.
And from what I know right now, from what I have seen with my own eyes and tested on code, The world in 2025 is going to change so dramatically.
It's not just that robots over the next few years are going to replace 70 to 80% of the physical labor workforce, but AI agents are going to replace at least 50% of the white collar workers.
So, you know how Elon Musk and Vivek are talking about cutting government workers?
Do you know they're going to be able to replace at least 50% of government workers with AI agents that do the same work, actually at a fraction of the cost and time?
I mean, that could happen in a year, technically.
What are they going to do?
Somebody the other day just jokingly said I should be in the Department of Agriculture chief.
I mean, obviously joking, but I'm like, if I were, I would just make them all farmers.
But obviously, that might not be needed either in the way things are going.
I don't know, but it's clear that more and more things are being automated.
Yeah, and decentralized.
Well, my take is we don't need about 90% of the federal government.
We just literally don't need it.
We don't need a Department of Homeland Security.
We don't need a Department of Education.
They're just overhead.
Just overhead.
And did you know that over 80% of federal workers only show up in the office one day a month?
That's amazing.
Anybody that doesn't have to show up for work...
You know, interestingly...
My bank, I had a problem with my bank, as many of us do, right?
Just trying to do normal wire transfers, nothing big or anything like that.
Luckily, again, there's some senior guy in Bank of America that happens to know me, just like some senior guy at Coinbase knew me.
I'm just lucky, right?
And this guy intervenes, so he puts me in contact with executive services or whatever at Bank of America, who calls me, right?
So a lady calls me.
She's like, oh, I'm sorry about all these problems.
I'm probably the smallest customer they ever called from executive services.
And she's like, she's going through the issues and I can tell she doesn't quite know what she's doing.
And then I heard a dog bark.
I was like, are you at home?
And she's like, oh yeah, I'm at home.
And I was like, oh, you're doing bank of work at home.
And then that means she had access To the Bank of America computers at home.
Right.
Think about that.
Now think about that from a federal government, you know, when we realized that so many of these federal employees are at home, working from home, and have access to the computers.
They could be working from Israel for all we know.
They might not be doing their jobs at all.
AI might be doing their jobs.
They might have automated their job themselves already, right?
I mean, they could literally have Chinese and Russians and Israelis doing their jobs.
Because, you know, there's obviously, if you've got massive numbers, unknown numbers of tens of thousands of federal employees that are not even going to work, I mean, that's an attack surface for trouble, right?
Well, it's no joke that if...
If like a million federal workers died from the jab tomorrow and were replaced by AI automation, the level of professionalism and customer service would improve.
Probably would, actually.
I'm telling you.
The AI agents are that good.
Yeah, but not that I want it.
No, no, I'm not calling for that, obviously.
I mean, I know you're not, too.
I was just making that clear.
If there's any doubt about it.
But, you know, if we got rid of, you know, a million government workers right now, it would be just getting rid of a bunch of overhead.
I mean, it wouldn't hurt the economy.
It would help it instantly.
Yes, you have a million people unemployed.
So what?
There's another huge amount that are paying taxes to keep them doing, you know, goofy work, you know?
Paperwork.
Moving paper from one side of the office to the other.
We don't need them, right?
No, we really don't.
Do we need the Department of Agriculture to tell the Amish that they shouldn't make, you know, they shouldn't, you know, give raw milk that people lived on for centuries and thousands of years, right, you know?
No, exactly.
That's my point.
And we certainly don't need Department of Education threatening schools with losing funding if they don't support boys and girls' restrooms and things like that, right?
That nonsense has got to stop.
Close them all.
Literally close them.
Literally close them.
Like, gone.
And what would we really lose, right?
Let me say one thing about the EPA, right?
Now, as you know, I've traveled around the world a lot.
But before I did all that, I actually did do business in the United States.
And I had to deal with little EPA stuff, little business size, right?
But it was a pain, actually.
And I'm like, this is crazy.
You have to have...
I mean, like, anyway, but the bottom line is...
Even having a small business in America can turn you sour on the EPA. I know you have to deal with them, right?
But then I go to a place like China or India, and I'm like, okay, we need some EPA, right?
So there's some of them that you want.
You just want them to be neutered, right?
You want them to be able to do their job and don't let people dump...
Poison into the rivers or just dump everything they want into the atmosphere.
You go to China, you only need like 10 minutes in China to realize they need some EPA going, right?
Well, right.
No, I'm with you where EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, was founded to stop corporations from dumping toxic waste on the streets.
Or in the rivers.
Right.
But and that's you and I all agree with that.
Like you can't just have, you know, toxic waste dumped everywhere.
But then the EPA says, well, we say carbon dioxide is a pollutant now.
So now we've got to ban combustion engines.
And you're like, wait a second, you lost your damn minds.
That's the problem.
And they're governing by fiat.
They don't even use laws.
They just make stuff up and execute.
Exactly.
Right?
I know farmers in Central Texas that got paid by the government to destroy the engine blocks of their older tractors, to destroy engines.
I knew somebody that had a huge contract.
He showed me him doing it out in California.
He's got a contract to cut these semi-truck engines in half in perfect condition.
He cuts them in half and he has to send videos to whoever it is.
That's what our government has become is an incentivized destruction.
Now, it's no longer about protecting the environment because the EPA says that you can dump toxic human biosludge into city parks or farms.
They say you can put it on farms.
That's called biosludge.
I did a whole documentary on that.
So the EPA is really the Environmental Pollution Agency.
Now, that's the problem.
And you know, Michael, the DEA runs the drugs, right?
You know the DEA. Everybody knows the DEA runs the drugs.
And, you know, the FBI doesn't stop criminals.
The FBI creates criminal terrorist schemes and then recruits like homeless people off the streets.
Drive the van.
Oh, we caught a terrorist.
You know, it's like they're not doing anything that they were even formed to do.
Oh, Michael, I got to tell you something.
And Marco Polo's travels across Asia.
There's actually a little part in there where he's talking about how this guy recruits young men using drugs, opium specifically.
In another edition of the same book, it says it was hashish and opium.
I don't know.
But anyway, drugs.
And he would get them to, you know, drug them up, get them to sleep for a few days.
When they wake up, there's these beautiful women around them.
They're getting great food and great wine and all this stuff.
And he tells them that this is paradise, right?
Not marble.
Yeah.
So in other words, they're drugged up, they wake up, and they're in this beautiful garden like they've been taught.
This is like you're in paradise, you're in heaven.
You got all these beautiful girls doing all these things, wine, food, and then he tells them, Anyway, long story short, he uses them for assassins, right?
Like, true story, apparently, according to Marco Polo, right?
So then, and, you know, so basically you got to go do your assassin mission in order to get back to paradise.
There's several layers of interesting stuff.
One is, it's like FBI getting somebody and drugging them up and brainwashing them, literally, and then sending them on a mission, right?
Literally.
I mean, it's like multiple layers, using the drugs, using the brainwashing, and sending them on an actual assassination mission.
Right, right.
Marco Polo, man.
The FBI carries out more terrorism in America than any group in the world.
And that is, it's been covered by the Kansas City Star and the New York Times, okay?
And I can't cite the articles right now, but I've cited them before in my coverage.
Nobody creates more terror plots in the United States than the FBI. They will dream up everything.
Let's bomb a bridge.
Let's have a drone with explosives fly over the White House, blah, blah, blah.
And then they just go find somebody, usually somebody that doesn't look white, Somebody kind of Middle Eastern looking guy.
Doesn't even matter.
They just find somebody like, hey, I'll pay you 50 bucks to fly this drone.
And somebody goes, okay.
And then, oh, you're arrested for terrorism.
What?
And then they just plant everything on their computer.
Then they justify their existence.
That's sickening.
Sickening.
That's how they roll.
Yep.
Yep.
So, Kosh Patel is going to go in now.
Apparently, he's been nominated to run the FBI campaign.
What he should do on day one is issue arrest warrants for about the top hundred FBI traitors who ran the Russian collusion hoax.
What do you think he'll do?
Do you think he'll go for it?
No, I doubt it.
I think almost everybody nominated is going to be threatened and captured by the system.
Yeah.
I have to be realistic, and I go with my gut instinct because as the older I get and the more experienced I get, the more accurate it becomes, like you, right?
Yep.
And I just wish I were more positive about everything, but we'll see.
I mean, obviously, when it comes with home and on the border and all that, people like me obviously are going to help big time, right, as much as we can, speaking of which.
People should hit my support keys.
People don't support me anymore because I say too much bad stuff about Trump.
But I never lay off of it.
To wrap this up, let's put out all your social media and also I want to encourage people to donate to you.
I've donated to you, by the way, and I encourage others to donate to you.
So give us your Twitter.
It's Michael underscore Yon, correct?
Michael underscore Yon on Twitter, on X, and then Substack, my name, Michael Yon, right?
.substack.com Yep.
And then there's many ways to support, for instance, Direct Wire or Snail Mail or, and I'll put that on top of my Twitter again, PayPal, Bitcoin, and different, you know, quite a few different ways, Venmo, Cash App.
Okay, perfect.
So let me just encourage everybody to follow you on Twitter, Michael underscore Yon, follow you on Substack, michaelyon.substack.com.
Is there anything else?
Any other website?
That's about it.
I mean, mostly what I do is actually help other people get the word out because I can force multiply by helping serious people like Anthony Rubin.
You've seen the work he does.
Oh, yeah.
Great stuff.
And look what Anne is doing.
Not that she needs any help.
Look at Anne.
Oh, she's got a live coming on tonight, by the way.
I'm going to be on it.
It's a couple hours still.
And, I mean, she's got X spaces.
Well, I don't know when this is going to air.
And she has been really out there.
Oh, you helped in North Carolina.
You donated a lot of food and whatnot.
And I just got a Starlink from Sat123.com, by the way, which is very important.
I just haven't got it working yet because there's no way to hit the sky here.
Because I'm in Buenos Aires.
But anyway, these new Starlinks are tiny.
That's the Starlink Mini.
Yeah, it's tiny.
Because, you know, the old Starlink was pretty cool, but it's huge.
And the power supply is huge.
This Starlink's got a little power supply.
I don't have it here, but it's only like...
It's like the size of a little iPad.
But yeah, let me plug.
Yeah, the Satellite Phone Store sponsors our interviews.
SAT123.com.
And the Satellite Phone Store donated quite a lot of gear to you, Michael, I think, over time.
Yeah.
Yeah, another Starlink, the big one, down in Panama now, which was very helpful.
But it's hard to get on airplanes.
You can't travel with that one.
But this little one, you can take it with you.
You can carry on.
It's easy, right?
Totally.
Totally.
But you also understand the importance of a satellite phone, because no matter where you are in the world, you can make a phone call.
That could be life-saving.
I got it 15 feet away, my sap bone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, you know, communications obviously is vital.
And the Starlink, I haven't used it yet, but there was a Special Forces guy, I think you met him, and he took one of those Starlinks down to the border.
And I talked with him about it a couple of weeks ago, and he said it was great.
Great.
It was a Stat123.com, you know, in that backpack that they have with the Faraday cages.
And so he took that one down to the border, Texas border.
He said that thing was great.
He said by the time he could just get it out and hook the power supply, which is super easy.
Seriously, it's like a little power supply used to hook the thing in, right?
And he said it was actually hitting the satellite before he could get his other gear ready to go, actually.
Yeah.
Well, that's just great stuff.
I mean, we try to not be dependent on technology, both of us, but we also use it where it counts.
For comms.
Airplanes help.
Satellite phones.
Bicycles are technology.
Try not to be dependent on it.
As long as it's working, come on.
Let's go.
So true.
This has been an amazing conversation as always.
I feel like You and I could talk about the world for so many hours.
We have to choose what we focus on.
We've been all over the world with this conversation.
We've been to Mount Everest.
Yeah, and we have cooked with cow dung in this conversation.
Who knows where this is going next?
But Michael, I just want to thank you for your time and ask you to stay connected here.
We have to finish the file sync, so don't hang up, but thank you for your time.
It's been a pleasure.
Thanks, Michael.
I'll keep it on.
All right.
All right.
And for those of you listening, again, I apologize that I don't have video in this interview today, but Michael does, and I hope you enjoyed that.
Be sure to check out our articles at naturalnews.com, and we're going to be increasing our publishing schedule here shortly.
And then also, check out more videos and interviews and podcasts at brighteon.com.
And thank you for listening.
Take care, everybody.
I've put together a whole lot of third-party partners with discount codes on this website, rangerdeals.com.

You just click that right there.
It goes to a third-party company, and this icon indicates that they compensate us with product donations that we then donate out to other people.
So we kind of have an affiliate relationship here, but they don't pay us cash.
They pay us in product that we donate out to other people in need through our church, by the way.
So a lot of these, they just gift back to us, to our church, and then we donate that out to people who need it.
If you scroll down, you'll see also we've got chlorine dioxide down here somewhere.
Where did it go?
Here it is.
Safrax.
10% off chlorine dioxide.
If you don't have a supply of chlorine dioxide, you absolutely need to get some of this and learn about it.
And there's the button right there.

So these prepper bars are really handy.
People love those.
And then we've got goldbacks, which have real physical gold embedded in each goldback.
Very divisible form of gold.
This has one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold.
You're actually looking at the gold.
It's just flattened out.
It's very thin, obviously, at one one-thousandth of an ounce.
But they have higher denominations.
