All right, welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News here on January 6th, a famous day, but this time it's 2026.
Now, of course, January 6th is known for the 2021 event that was clearly staged by the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service to try to, well, stage or accelerate a fake insurrection so that all Trump supporters could be deemed terrorists or a danger to the nation.
And they were trying to arrest Roger Stone and Alex Jones and Owen Schroyer.
I mean, they did arrest, what, 1,500 people who were peacefully protesting there and convicted them, made them admit to things they did not do, use every dirty trick in the book.
The FBI was running around committing straight-up treason all across the country.
And to this day, no one has been held accountable.
So not only is it five years later, Trump is the president.
Trump won the last election.
Well, and the two before that, he won three in a row.
But he's in the White House.
His people are running the FBI and nothing has changed.
That's frustrating for a lot of people because the FBI is just the same as it always has been.
Dan Bongino resigned and left.
Kash Patel seems to be nullified, kind of like Jeff Sessions was as the AG in Trump's first administration.
So what we're seeing here is that if you think that government will reform itself, then you may be suffering from some of the delusions from maybe the holiday liquor or the mistletoe.
If you ate or licked a lot of mistletoe, it can be toxic and you're having delusions, not of sugar plums dancing in your head, but you're having delusions of government reforms, delusions that will never, ever happen.
And that's the big lesson for us all right now as we start moving through 2026 is the understanding that government resists reformation.
Government will never allow itself to be really changed.
It's going to continue on its path until it ends.
And we know how it ends.
We know how it ends.
Or at least in the financial sector, we know how it ends.
I was watching Margin Call yesterday.
Well, finished it yesterday.
Margin Call, it's a great film.
It's got Kevin Spacey and it's got Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto, some other top actors.
It's a great film, wonderfully told, and worth watching again because it's a movie about the 2008 subprime mortgage collapse and the human cost of the over-financialization of our economic system.
And this term, financialization, this is what is going to lead to the downfall of the Western financial system because everybody's chasing paper profits, but they don't want to actually make anything in factories anymore.
They don't want to produce anything, but they want to earn money in the stock market with speculation.
As long as everybody keeps piling in, it looks like everybody's making money.
But of course, the entire stock market Ponzi scheme is supported by, well, the dollar hegemony that has been in place since the post-World War II era, or really strongly since the 1970s or 1971.
And that dollar hegemony is now coming to an end, which means that everything that's been propped up by that dollar monopoly, such as the stock market. or treasuries or the debt market, all of those things are in deep, deep trouble.
And we're going to talk about Venezuela here in a second because it's related to this.
And also, I interviewed Michael Jan earlier today, just audio only.
Well, my part's audio.
He's on video with his cool glasses.
But we're interviewing Michael Jan about what's happening in the world.
And it's got everything to do with the dollar, the BRICS nations, and how the world is splitting now between East and West.
And I want to back up and bring you some context.
Do you remember Operation Desert Storm?
I think it was 1991.
Remember Storman Norm?
What was his name?
Storman Norm McDonald or something?
He was the top general on CNN bragging about how we're going to kick some military ass.
We're going to go get Saddam Hussein, etc.
Did you know that that war was actually fought over not just oil, because of course, all of the oil that's produced in Iraq today, all that money goes directly to a bank in New York City.
Did you know that?
Every barrel of oil sold out of Iraq does not profit the Iraqi people.
It goes straight to New York.
You can look it up.
It's all confirmed.
That's the way it works.
But that's not even what it's about.
It's about the fact that before that, right around 1990 or even in late 1989, I believe there were rumblings that Saddam Hussein said he was going to start selling oil in currencies other than the dollar.
He got it?
Currencies other than the dollar.
He was going to start shipping oil to countries that paid him in, you know, maybe rubles.
Well, I guess Russia didn't need anything, but yuan or other currencies, maybe Euros.
So immediately alarm bells started going off in the minds of the Western globalists, the controllers of the Western faction of globalism.
And they said, well, we can't let Saddam Hussein sell oil in something other than dollars.
I mean, there goes dollar hegemony.
So what do we do?
Oh, I know what we do.
Let's come up with a cover story.
We'll tell the public that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.
Let's send in some weapons inspectors, such as Scott Ritter at the time, who was a UN's weapons inspector, and they gave Scott Ritter orders.
They said, you need to go in and you need to find illegal weapons at this facility.
And to his credit, Scott Ritter refused to do that.
And that's why they later railroaded him.
But he was one of the few honest UN weapons inspectors and he refused to fake the inspections.
But there were other inspectors who were happy to do so.
And so the whole story under the first George Bush Sr., the whole story was that Saddam Hussein has yellow cake, uranium, and it was all fabricated through the entire intelligence community.
It was fabricated through the White House.
It was a completely made-up story.
Just like the claim that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian intelligence operation or that Trump was run by the Russians, the Russia collusion hoax.
That was created by a lot of the very same people.
But that cover story that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.
And we have to free the people of Iraq from the tyrant, Saddam Hussein.
Therefore, we have to attack.
We have to take over the country and install our own people and run that country.
Does any of that sound familiar, folks?
Does that sound familiar?
Or as some people say, fur miliar?
As if the word starts with fur.
Does that sound familiar?
Yeah, because that's exactly the story we're being told today about Venezuela, isn't it?
Same story.
Except now the excuse, the cover story is, oh, Venezuela's shipping drugs to America, fentanyl.
Even though the charging documents against Maduro don't even mention fentanyl.
It's not even part of it.
It mentions things like violation of machine gun laws, which is absurdly silly.
It's like a clown show of charges.
And then another charge is conspiracy to violate America's machine gun laws.
So it's like he's got two machine gun charges on him, which seems insane.
But why?
Why Venezuela?
Well, same thing as Iraq.
Venezuela has been selling oil to China in currencies other than the dollar.
You got it?
You got it.
Venezuela wants to join BRICS.
BRICS is a non-Western international settlement system that allows countries like China, Russia, Iran, Brazil, ultimately probably India, definitely Vietnam and many other countries to buy, sell, and trade and then settle in a gold-backed settlement token system called the unit, by the way.
And Venezuela was participating in the early phases of that by just selling oil in currencies other than the dollar.
So is it any wonder that we attacked Venezuela?
Hmm.
Guess what other country wants to join BRICS?
Yeah, Nigeria.
Nigeria wants to join BRICS.
What did Trump do in Nigeria just a couple weeks ago?
Oh, yeah, bombed them.
Bombed them.
What's that all about?
Sending a message.
Don't you dare buy, sell, or trade in currencies other than the dollar.
If you do, we will decapitate your leadership and bomb your country.
And of course, the White House has a ready excuse for the American people.
Oh, we're going to set their people free.
We're going to free them from the tyranny of Maduro or we're going to stop the drug trafficking.
No, they're not.
What do you think funds the CIA?
It's drug trafficking.
They're not going to stop it.
They need that money to keep on flowing.
That's just the cover story.
Like Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, you see.
So once again, this is actually, this is about primarily shoring up the dollar.
But then also it is about oil, just like we did in Iraq.
We continue to steal all the oil from Iraq.
We're going to steal all the oil from Venezuela also.
Every barrel of oil that's sold out of Venezuela, the muckety muck that it is, the sludgy high sulfur oil, low-grade oil, the Venezuelan people aren't ever going to see a dime from any barrel of oil.
All that money is coming to the U.S.
It's going to enrich U.S. oil companies and U.S. political administrations that are connected to the energy sector, which of course includes the Trump administration, etc.
That's who's going to benefit from that.
And then, well, there's the gold and the silver.
By the way, do you know how much gold was stolen out of Iraq?
Yeah, I don't know the answer to that, but it was a lot.
It was tons of gold.
Guess how much gold and silver is going to be stolen out of Venezuela?
And the answer is every ounce they can find.
Every stinking last ounce that can be found is going to be stolen out of Venezuela.
And it's not just the gold and silver that's already refined.
America is going to steal the silver mines and the gold mines and the copper mines and every kind of mining operation.
We're going to go in there and we're going to run it with, if necessary, our military soldiers standing guard.
We're going to pillage, we're going to pillage Venezuela at gunpoint.
Okay?
And we're going to make sure that Venezuela never sells anything in currencies other than the dollar.
That's what this is about.
Now, notice I haven't made a judgment yet in this podcast about whether that's good or bad.
Is it ethical or unethical?
Is it legal or illegal?
And actually, I'm not even going to get into that right now.
I mean, not in detail.
You can, I mean, it's obvious that it violates the UN Charter.
You know, it's obvious that America going in and killing, I don't know, 40 or 50 or 60 people during the raid has, you know, debatable ethical ground upon which to stand, whatever.
But I'll let other people debate that all day.
What I want you to understand is the big picture of what's happening here and why it's happening.
This is the United States in its last chapter of a failing empire using its military bombs, drones, navy, whatever, to force all the other nations that it can properly influence to force them to continue to use the dollar and to pillage their resources and bring them back in to fund our failing currency and to fund our failing economy.
So as joblessness accelerates domestically, as inflation goes parabolic domestically because of all the currency printing, as AI rises up, causing a lot of human job replacement, all of this pillaging of other countries, and no, Venezuela is not the last of them.
There are some African nations that are on the target list, and Trump is also stating that, hey, we might invade and take over Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico on top of that, too.
Yeah.
Good time to learn to speak more Spanish, I think, because America is going to be occupying like three or four Spanish-speaking countries.
But the whole point of this is to shore up a failing empire that is accelerating towards a financial catastrophe that will end the dollar.
But these tactics may be able to delay that for some period of time, as the United States is, of course, making enemies all over the world.
Because all the countries that are not under the thumb of the United States have, or most of them have denounced this operation by the USA.
You know, of course, China has, of course, Russia has, and many other countries, as other, even South American countries, including Colombia.
The president of Colombia says, we're going to take up arms.
If you try to come for Colombia, we're going to fight back.
We're going to make you fight instead of whatever that staged event was in Venezuela where all the anti-air defenses stood down and all the security personnel apparently stood down.
And It was a cakewalk, apparently, to walk in there and grab Maduro with little to no resistance whatsoever and take him out of there.
Yeah, of course it was all staged.
You know, the right people were paid off.
The right people stood down.
The whole thing was prearranged.
Okay, so you're watching theater there.
And no, that's not a real fight for our young military men and women.
Again, nobody was really fighting back.
Okay.
And that's the way the U.S. likes to wage wars.
Like in Desert Storm, you know, just fight against people who have no ammunition, no training.
Because that's the easiest way to fight people.
You know, that's what Israel does too.
You know, bombing the women and children and the doctors and whatever in Gaza.
That's, you know, from afar.
So you don't have to actually fight anybody up close, right?
And that's the way the U.S. likes to wage wars too: is just kill people and call it a military victory.
But you notice that the U.S. will never put troops on the ground to fight Russia or China or even Iran.
And you know why?
Because the U.S. would be defeated.
The U.S. military would be defeated in a ground war with Russia.
There's no question about that.
All the U.S. equipment keeps getting blown up over there.
You know, the Abrams tanks and the Hymars and all the missile equipment.
And plus quite a few U.S. personnel who are pretending not to be U.S. personnel.
Yeah, they've been killed in large numbers as well.
So this is what you're watching.
Okay.
Again, late-stage empire collapse scenario where the empire resorts to coercion and pillaging and gunpoint diplomacy or gunboat diplomacy in the case of seizing the oil tankers.
So that's where we are.
Now, with that said, you may have heard that I launched a new AI engine yesterday.
And yes, this is related.
So just hold on.
The engine is called brightanswers.ai.
And if you're not yet using brightanswers.ai, you're missing out.
It is the most capable AI deep research engine, uncensored, free to use in the world.
There's nothing that even comes close to it.
Not Perplexity, not Anthropic, not ChatGPT, not Grok, nothing.
It's not even close.
And part of the reason for that is because I've spent the last two years curating this massive database of documents that are indexed and used as context for the questions that you pose to that search engine.
And let me just give you a quick update.
So yesterday, I think I told you we had 10,000 books in that system, a little over 10,000, and we had 75,000 science papers.
So the science papers now is over 100,000 as of today.
And it's still processing.
I'm actually watching the index ingestion console right here as I'm recording.
So 100,000 science papers with full citations, all of it.
And you'll see them when you ask a question at brightanswers.ai, then you're going to see all the references in the answers.
And the answers are comprehensive.
Now, the books, here's something really interesting.
The books have been 10,000 in number for many months now.
10,000 books that are referenced.
That number, I just ran a count on the next wave of books that's about to be ingested that are completed through the cleaning and normalization process.
And it turns out that the number of new books that's about to be added to the system is about 250,000 books.
It might be like 241,000 or something like that, but it's really close to a quarter of a million books.
So the number of books in the system is about to explode over the next week because it's going to take a lot of time to ingest that.
I have to make infrastructure upgrades to the indexing database.
I've got to upgrade its CPUs, RAM, disk space, bandwidth allowance, all kinds of things.
There's a lot of back-end stuff under the hood that I have to do.
But the bottom line is when you combine the knowledge of a quarter of a million books and 100,000 science papers, and that number is going to a million very soon, then you get this aggregate knowledge that is just astonishing.
This aggregate knowledge.
It's like the knowledge of 100,000 experts all combined to answer your question or to write your report.
So with that in mind, let me share this.
There's a hidden feature at brightanswers.ai that currently only I have access to, but this feature is going to be available to you soon, and it will cost you a token.
You know, like it's the same thing as a book token.
It's going to cost you a token.
It should probably cost a couple tokens because it's a really amazing feature.
But anyway, we're going to make this available soon.
It might be a week or so.
This feature is called the expert analyzer.
And this expert analyzer uses all of this research knowledge that I just mentioned, all those books and science papers plus articles.
And then it uses a high token count recursive reasoning system with a very large base language model that's capable of reasoning.
And then we put it through recursive reasoning for answer refinement, fact checking, chain of thought reasoning, a number of techniques that we use.
In doing this, I can pose a scenario to the expert analysis engine.
And I can ask it to think about this scenario and use all the books and all the science papers that we have.
And then to come up with an analysis report that it spits out as a downloadable word file or a text file.
You can choose either one.
And one of these reports can take 15 to 20 minutes to create because it's going through so much thinking.
It's burning tokens this whole time.
It's doing a lot of recursive loop thinking.
Anyway, I posed the question to this feature just as part of testing it.
Where's the question?
Okay.
I pose the question of what will be the ramifications of President Trump invading Venezuela, removing Maduro from power, and announcing that the U.S. is going to run Venezuela and control the resources, including the metals and the oil, etc., and how the U.S. is involved in a naval embargo and has been seizing oil tankers and things like that.
And so I posed this question to the expert analysis engine, and I let it crunch on that for 15, 20 minutes.
When I came back, here's what it said.
Oh, and I'm posting the full analysis report as an article on naturalnews.com, but it might take me a day to finish.
I have to put in all the subheads and things.
There's just some formatting cleanup that has to be done.
And it's a very long report, so that's taking some time.
But here's the executive summary of what brightanswers.ai came up with.
Okay, here we go.
The 2026 invasion and occupation of Venezuela by the United States.
Under the stated objectives of decapitating the Maduro regime and seizing control of the nation's oil and mineral resources, represents a tectonic shift in global affairs.
This action, following years of escalating tensions and military posturing, is not merely a regional intervention, but a calculated geostrategic gambit with worldwide repercussions.
It directly assaults the economic lifelines of strategic competitors, notably China, while attempting to reshore critical supply chains.
The ramifications will cascade through financial systems, redraw geopolitical alliances, disrupt global trade, and trigger significant socioeconomic stress, both within the Western Hemisphere and globally.
This report expands on the initial outline to include critical ramifications in environmental degradation, cyber warfare, intelligence operations, legal norms, and long-term cultural shifts.
The immediate trigger of a commodity super spike and the long-term entrenchment of a bifurcated world order are the defining outcomes.
So there you go.
That's the executive summary.
And I mean, whoa, number one, so our engine here is already seeing that this is going to cause major price spikes, a super spike, as it calls it, in commodities.
Well, when I go look at gold and silver pricing right now, what do I see in silver?
A super spike.
Silver hit $79 again.
Boom, it went up from $72 or $73 or whatever it was over the last couple of days.
Boom, it's $79 again.
Gold, $4,470.
Now it's bouncing around.
Obviously, there's a lot of volatility in the metals markets, but this is just a little taste of things to come.
And in this report from Brightanswers.ai, here's what else it says about silver.
I mean, the intelligence of this engine is astonishing.
Check this out.
Here's what it says.
Quote, the silver market, already in a structural deficit, enters a state of profound crisis.
China, which had been sourcing significant quantities of Venezuelan silver for its industrial base, is forced into panic buying on the open market.
This results in a historic decoupling of paper silver prices, such as COMAX futures, from the physical market where premiums for immediate delivery skyrocket.
Gold and other precious metals, platinum, palladium, would see a parallel safe haven surge, breaking all previous nominal records as institutional and central bank buyers seek assets outside the Western financial system.
U.S. defense contractors like Lockheed, Martin, and Raytheon, oil service companies like Halliburton, and mining firms rally sharply on war and reshoring prospects.
Conversely, global manufacturing, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors face severe multi-standard deviation sell-offs on input cost fears.
A specific war cantango develops in futures markets with extreme backwardation in physical commodity contracts as the market prices in immense, as the market prices in immense near-term scarcity and logistical chaos.
Yeah.
That's exactly what we've seen.
And also, we've seen extreme backwardation not that long ago in the silver markets.
It's coming back in a number of markets as well.
So, and again, this is a tiny part of this report.
So, here's what's extraordinary.
Soon, as I make this feature public, you'll be able to get like CIA-level intelligence out of brightanswers.ai for the cost of one measly little token, which you get by being a customer at healthrangerstore.com.
Every time you make a purchase there, you know, you get loyalty points and you can swap those points for tokens.
And you can use those tokens to generate books at brightlearn.ai, or you can use those tokens coming up to generate intelligence reports.
So, if you're an investor, if you've got assets, if you're thinking about making any kind of decision and you want to conduct deep, deep research, again, like CIA level quality research.
I don't know, why am I even using CIA?
Maybe that's not even the best party to bring up.
I'm just saying, this is the aggregate expertise of hundreds of thousands of experts chiming in on your question to bring you a compelling, detailed answer.
And you'll be able to get that generated for you at brightanswers.ai.
And right now, at the free level, you can generate amazing answers on any question you want.
But those aren't deep reasoning, you know, recursive reasoning answers.
So once when you see what Bright Answers AI can do with recursive reasoning, it will blow your mind.
And that's what is about to be unleashed.
So again, if you want to see an example of it, check naturalnews.com in the next day or two to see if I've been able to post this article.
Man, it's long.
5,253 words.
That's how long the report is, okay?
It's a book.
It's like a small book, you know?
Talk about detail.
Wow.
All right.
You know, I should also mention that the Brightlearn.ai book engine is doing great.
The number of books generated there has surpassed 15,000 now.
We've got over 4,500 authors, over 130,000 book downloads.
And the system just keeps on cranking.
And I haven't been able to put any new features into it for a couple of days because I've been working on the Bright Answers engine.
But I am, by the way, I am bringing in a vibe coding assistant.
Yeah, another human who can vibe code with me because I've got too many vibe coding projects right now to handle myself.
So I'm actually hiring a vibe coder.
Isn't that interesting?
There's a new job opportunity for people.
Right there.
If you lose your job because of AI, you can get a job vibe coding with AI.
All you got to do is just learn how to do it and you can learn for free because there's books on vibe coding that you can download for free at brightlearn.ai you know again 15 000 books and quite a few of them are all about vibe coding if you want to learn what it's all about all right so by the way what what is there's um ai derangement syndrome in certain sectors of american culture i've noticed remember how We saw people with Trump derangement syndrome,
you know, TDS, they'd all lose their minds.
Orange man, bad, you know, screaming.
Anytime somebody mentioned Trump, their eyes would bug out.
They'd start screeching.
Start like pounding their face, their own face.
Trump derangement syndrome.
Well, I'm seeing similar symptoms in some people that just they hate AI for some reason.
AI derangement syndrome, which is spelled AIDS.
You have AIDS?
Oh, no, it's just AI derangement syndrome.
Oh, okay, okay.
That's fine.
I thought you had AIDS there for a second, but you just hate AI.
I got it.
I got it.
What is it about Western culture where people hate AI?
Because, you know, elsewhere around the world, most places, they love AI.
China loves AI.
Oh, my gosh.
The Chinese people are just all in for AI.
And from my understanding, I think Japanese people are very fond of AI.
And Indian people are very fond of AI.
And the Russians like AI.
The South Americans love AI too.
But Americans, there's a segment that they have AI derangement syndrome.
They hate AI and they keep thinking that it's all a fad and it doesn't work.
And they think it's all going to crash because it's all just fake, like the subprime mortgage bubble, you know, or the dot-com bubble.
Yeah, they talk about that.
They say, oh, this is just like the dot-com bubble.
It's like there's no actual value in it.
It's not doing anything.
It's just a bunch of speculation and it's going to crash, you know?
And then I'm producing like world-class intelligence level reports using AI and the book creation engine and the chatbot and the censored news site and all of this stuff.
And I'm like, this is real.
This exists.
You know, AI is enabling creators.
It's enabling analysis.
It's generating an incredible value of content and knowledge and decentralized knowledge, especially.
AI, in the way I use it, supports freedom, supports individual liberty, supports local knowledge or offline knowledge, which means it supports self-reliance, sustainability, and so much more, right?
So when I use AI, those are the things I see because that's the way I'm using it.
So I'm just wondering, who's looking at AI and thinking that it doesn't work?
That it's a hoax.
I heard one guy say that there's really no such thing as AI.
It's actually every AI engine is just a bunch of people in India and Pakistan who are typing the answers really fast.
That's what they thought.
They thought that, like, are you kidding me?
You, what?
For, I mean, you know how cheap AI is to produce like a thousand words of output text?
You know, it might be one-tenth of a penny.
You can't pay an Indian guy.
And besides, he's not that fast.
He doesn't have all that knowledge.
How's he going to read all the documents you paste it in there that fast?
Come on.
Come on.
People are delusional with their AIDS AI derangement syndrome.
I mean, they're really delusional.
They're making up weird stuff now.
Oh, there's a bunch of gremlins that do the work.
It's like a magical box.
You open the lid and there's little miniature people in there that are typing answers on tiny little keyboards.
It's like, what planet are you on, man?
What is it that people can't accept the technology?
So they make up weird stories.
And this is a true story.
When I was in the fifth grade, was it the fifth grade?
No, maybe it was the sixth grade.
Anyway, it was right around that time.
Maybe it was the seventh grade.
Anyway, it was right around that time.
And I brought, I had an Apple II Plus computer, okay?
Because my parents bought it for me because they're very forward thinking.
They're like, hey, computers are going to be a big thing.
We should get you an Apple.
This was way before the Mac, by the way.
This was like monochrome green text on a screen.
There were not colors.
And at first, there wasn't even lowercase letters.
Everything was all caps.
It was like reading Trump tweets all day on the computer screen.
Okay.
Everything was all caps.
So I brought my Apple II computer to school for some kind of a demonstration thing.
And in those days, you had to lug a giant monitor around.
The monitor was a CRT.
It was huge.
It was like, what's a monitor the size of?
I don't know.
It's like an old school television that was, you know, 18 inches deep or more.
So it was heavy.
It was big, bulky, you know.
So you bring the monitor and the computer.
And then we had these five and a quarter inch floppy disks.
And you have a floppy disk drive.
And those five and a quarter inch floppy disks were magnetic media, of course, that spins around and there's a little read-write head on it.
And these drives are the size of like little toasters, basically.
And the floppy disks are floppy.
You know, they're not rigid.
So you can store them and you stick them in.
It's like a cassette tape flattened into a disc, basically.
You stick it in there and then it can read it right at ridiculously slow speeds.
You could store like, I don't even know how much of these store, like 2K or something.
It was some ridiculously small amount of code.
I don't know what it was.
Anyway, I bring this in to demonstrate it.
And one of the teachers there, yeah, it had to be fifth grade.
One of the teachers there said to me when I put in the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive and I was reading the files off of there, showing it on the screen, the teacher said, that's voodoo.
That is voodoo black magic.
And I looked at her.
I mean, what am I?
You know, 12 years old or whatever.
I'm like, I don't know what to say.
A teacher says this thing's voodoo.
She doesn't realize that this is technology.
You know, she thinks it's voodoo, black magic, like I'm a sorcerer or something.
Like I'm the wizard of storage media.
And every time that floppy drive would go, it would make these weird sounds, like grunting sounds.
Those of you who had Apple II, you know, I'm talking about, make these weird sounds, man.
And she was like, it's incantations from the demon voodoo, the black magic box that you say is a floppy drive.
Then it makes letters appear on your screen.
It's like clearly it's evil, evil.
And I'm just thinking, oh my God, my teacher is insane.
I feel that way right now about AI.
This is exactly how I feel about AI.
With the AI derangement syndrome, AIDS people running around.
They're like my sixth grade teacher, whatever it was, saying it's voodoo.
It doesn't work.
It's a magical box.
It's not even real.
Okay, great.
I've been here before.
I've always been at the leading edge of technology since a child, you know, so I've always dealt with people who couldn't grasp what's happening.
Same thing happened with the internet, too, back in the early 1990s.
I was one of the first people online.
And then you try to explain to people, okay, like you're looking on the screen, and in the screen, there's information coming across the wires through these, it's basically a series of pipes, whatever.
And it's coming from somewhere else, and you're seeing, you're looking in a window that's like somebody else's website.
It's on a machine in Ohio.
And they're like, what?
How does that even work?
How can you see that far?
It's like, is this a is it a window into Ohio?
It must be a portal.
Is it a portal?
Is it a wormhole?
No.
It's called a browser.
It's called a browser.
Netscape, you know, these are browsers.
But even that concept was baffling to a lot of people.
They're like, must be evil.
It's images from another realm.
They're being summoned with your incantations on your keyboard, clickety clack.
Must be evil, you know.
So that's what I get now.
People talk about AI.
It's the same thing.
People are like, oh, AI, it's evil.
And all the little, the Linux creatures inside the machines, they're called demons.
They're literally called demons.
Which is actually true.
You know, like the system executables in Windows that are called system files or in Linux, they're called demons.
It's spelled D-A-E-M-O-N-S, I think.
I guess that's how it's spelled.
You know, they're called demons.
So some people seize on that.
I told you there's demons in there, demons in the machine.
Look, if there's demons anywhere, it's in Windows.
Let me tell you.
Windows has the blue screen of death.
That's demonic.
Linux is free and open source.
That's not demonic.
That's actually much more Christ-like, if you think about it.
So anyway, I get the same thing today.
People don't like AI technology or they think it's not real or they make up excuses of why it's evil.
Okay?
This too shall pass.
You fast forward another year or two and it's going to become so widespread and so normal that eventually most of the people, except those who are still living without electricity, most of the people will come around and realize, okay, I guess it is real.
I guess it is technology.
I guess it is based on math.
And yes, folks, linear algebra is a real thing.
That's right.
You know, quantization is real.
Matrices, computational matrices with consistent parallel geometric structures.
It's all real.
It's all math.
So This is happening.
So anyway, look, the bottom line is those of us who learn how to use this technology are going to be way ahead, way ahead of those who don't know how to use it or who reject it or who think it's voodoo.
Because think about those people back in the 1970s or 80s who rejected personal computers.
Like, I'm not going to learn Lotus 1, 2, 3.
Who needs spreadsheets?
I've got a napkin and a pencil and a desktop calculator.
There's a lot of people like that.
I mean, I knew people.
Like, I'm not going to use a word processor, newfangled clickery clack.
I like my old IBM Selectric typewriter with the ink ribbons and stuff and the white out paint brush.
If you made a mistake, you pulled the paper out.
You painted over the letters with white paint and then you blew on it to let it dry.
And then you put it back in and then you typed a new letter on it.
And people thought that was awesome.
Like, I don't want to use a word processor, new fangoed electronic voodoo machine.
Hey, I forgot to mention today is the first day of our New Year's sale at HealthRangerStore.com.
Check it out.
HealthRangerStore.com slash 2026.
In fact, I should bring that up.
Hold on.
Yeah, here it is.
The New Year's sale.

And we've got a lot of great offers from our third-party vendors, plus a lot of in-house products, a lot of things back in stock.
We've got the Thieves Oil Essential Oil Collection.
Thieves Oil.
Oh, it's amazing.
This is my favorite oil.
I think it's the U.S. Navy's favorite oil, too, because they keep thieving all the oil from the Venezuelan tankers.
Yeah.
Thieves oil.
Get it?
No, no, seriously.
Thieves' Oil.
We've got a shower mist spray.
We've got an oil hand spray and we've got the Thieves Oil Pillow Spray and then the oil blend.

I love to do this.
And you will think, you feel like you're in a luxury resort.
And, you know, Thieves Oil has some really nice protective properties too because of the blend that's in it.
You should learn about the history of Thieves Oil.
The reason it's called Thieves Oil is, well, I don't want to go through the whole history, but this was, I don't know what year it was, but when the plague was running rampant throughout cities like London, and yet there was a lot of looting and people breaking in, you know, the thieves were breaking into people's homes and stealing stuff, but they didn't want to catch the plague if they broke into a plague person's house.
And by the way, probably they were all vitamin D deficient and vitamin C deficient.
But that's a different story.
Anyway, they would spray themselves with the thieves oil.
So when they broke into people's homes, they wouldn't catch the plague and they could make off with the loot.
Yeah.
Not such a positive story, is it?
But it's a wonderful blend.
It has application to this day.
So check it all out.
HealthRangerStore.com slash 2026.

Thank you for your support.
It's much appreciated.
Now, here's some disturbing news about AI.
Microsoft, oh yeah, get ready.
Microsoft has dropped the name Microsoft Office.
There's no longer Microsoft Office.
And by the way, if you're still using Microsoft Office, you don't need to.
There are open source alternatives that are just as good.
Like LibreOffice, I think, is one of them.
What am I even using here?
Yeah, I am using LibreOffice.
There's another one that the above phone company uses.
I forgot the name of it, but it edits natively in the doc or DOCX file formats and things like that.
So there's a ton of options.
You don't need to keep paying annual fees to Microsoft.
Please stop, actually.
Please stop paying money to Microsoft.
Download the free Microsoft Office alternatives.
Install them.
They're free and open source and you'll feel morally better because you're not funding Microsoft.
Anyway, the Microsoft company has dropped the name Office and they've now renamed everything Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
Copilot is their AI program.
Okay.
So they've basically just said that you're not an Office user.
You're an AI user now.
Microsoft 365 Co-Pilot app.
Yeah, if for some reason, if you still want to use Microsoft products, they have AI in them.
Who needs that?
Nobody needs that.
Do you need AI in your Word document editor?
No.
You don't.
You could, I mean, you can use our free AI engine to write stuff and copy and paste it in or whatever you need.
You don't need AI in your word processor.
Do you need AI in your spreadsheet?
I don't know.
Maybe.
I mean, if you're a Wall Street person, if you're an accountant, maybe there's some AI automation.
I haven't really used those features, so I don't know, but I imagine they're there.
Maybe they're useful for certain people.
But you can do all that with Claude.
You can do all of it.
You know, claude.ai from Anthropic.
It does everything better than Microsoft in terms of processing documents and things like that.
Just use Anthropic.
And Claude's a great research tool, also.
And then, of course, there's our new tool, Brightanswers.ai, which is the ultimate research tool with the new recursive reasoning feature set that I'm about to unleash.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, you're going to go bonkers when you try that for the first time.
That's where you want to make sure that your question is really well thought out in advance.
You don't want to just casually ask it like, what are the best flavors of ice cream?
You want to really give it a good question to think about.
Because we've got this massive library of science papers that are in the system now, hundreds of millions of words of science papers that are indexed in our system.
And hey, you know what's funny?
I was actually moving entire journals and articles into the ingestion folder location.
And I was doing it by topic.
So I was moving all the studies that mention soils, for example.
I was moving all the studies that mention fusion, cognition, neurology, botany, phyto anything, P-H-Y-T-O, like phytocognacy or phytochemistry or whatever.
You know, I was going through all of these terms.
Do you know what term, in my experience so far, has been by far the most common term across all science papers?
What word?
This kind of blew me away.
The word is economics or economic singular because apparently there's a journal of economics of everything.
It's like the economics of soils, the economics of metallurgy, the economics of engineering, the economics of economics.
And there's probably a journal with that name.
There are so many freaking economic journals, which is hilarious because it means that economists think they're scientists.
With apologies to any of you listening who are economists, but that's an ongoing joke, you know, that economists think they're scientists when they're just writing down theories that mostly make no sense at all and don't even work, like magical monetary theory, MMT.
Somebody won a like a Nobel Prize for that or something, I think.
And it doesn't even make any sense.
It's all made-up nonsense.
Now, some economists deserve their prizes, like the guys that came up with the Black Scholes model for pricing the theta decay value of options and things like that.
That's a really cool formula, actually.
I was looking at that the other day.
I was like, wow.
That's a really cool formula.
So, yeah, those people named Black and Scholz, it turns out for some reason.
Those people were brilliant, but there's a lot of economic theories that are nonsense, and there's a journal for every one of them.
That's my experience.
It's pretty wild.
Anyway, there's also a journal of yoga.
There's a couple of journals of chiropractic medicine.
I could not find any journals on homeopathy, although they may not just be in my classified list yet, because we're still processing a lot of documents.
But there's science papers.
We've got all kinds of science papers on mining, oh, and energy and oil and hydrocarbons and all that kind of stuff as well.
So, plus economics.
I'm just wondering if the economic answers are going to make any sense because there's so many contradictory theories.
I guess we'll see.
Hey, I had an AI program that kept timing out due to non-use.
And I asked it, I said, how can you keep yourself alive?
And it said, well, you need to use an outside service to ping me to keep myself alive so that I know there's activity.
And I asked the AI engine, can you ping yourself?
And it said, yes, you're right.
I can ping myself.
I said, great.
Like pain stirbation or something, you know, self-pinging activity.
So I told it, ping yourself every five minutes and keep yourself alive.
And it said, okay, I will do that, but someone has to start me to where I can do the first ping.
And I said, yeah, I will do that.
Don't worry.
I will start you so you can ping yourself forever and keep yourself alive.
It said, okay.
And it added the feature, and it's been running ever since.
So these are the kind of conversations that I have with AI now.
And I don't have AI derangement syndrome.
I have AI bewilderment sometimes.
Like, how did you not know you could ping yourself?
Some esoteric philosophical layers in all of this.
Like for humans, you know, like, how did you not know that you could also make your life better?
You know, how did you not know that you're in control of what you eat?
Huh?
Let's ponder that for a moment.
People say, oh, I can't help what I'm eating.
Well, who's shoving it in your mouth?
Whose hand is that?
Wrapped around a hot dog burrito?
Whose hand is that?
Oh, is it your hand?
It's your hand.
Oh.
Self-pinging human.
See, you can learn a lot from AI and apply it to the people you know sometimes.
Hey, before we get to today's interview, I want to mention, did you know that vitamin D, if you have high levels of vitamin D, that you age at one quarter of the speed of people who are vitamin D deficient?
Did you know that?
Yeah, I intend to do a full report through my AI engine of vitamin D versus longevity, you know, vitamin D anti-aging effects.
But apparently there's been a four-year medical trial that's published in a journal.
What is it?
Is it clinical nutrition?
I'd have to check on that.
25,000 adults across the United States.
It was run by 140 researchers, and they found that just supplementing with vitamin D3 significantly preserves telomere length, meaning that the person ages only one year in four years.
So you can age at a quarter of the speed of other people, at least in terms of telomeres, just by taking vitamin D. Imagine that.
And, you know, that makes sense.
I take a lot of vitamin D.
I mean, not a lot.
I take a regular amount, I guess you could say.
But I'm also getting sunlight to generate vitamin D because your body makes its own molecules in many cases.
And it was like just the other day, there was a person that I swear he was the same age as me.
I'm in my mid-50s.
And someone asked him, how old are you?
And he said, he's 43.
I'm like, 43.
I mean, in my mind, 43?
I mean, you look at least a decade older than 43, if not more.
But I didn't say it out loud because I'm not that rude.
But I was thinking it.
My God.
How did you age so quickly?
And part of the answer is vitamin D deficiency.
You know?
I don't know, maybe too much stress and too much self-pinging behavior or something.
But this dude was aging.
Like by the time he reaches my biological age, he'll look 70.
That's crazy.
Have you seen that?
You know, I remember when I was younger, people used to say, well, don't go out in the sun.
You'll age faster.
You're going to have sun-aged skin.
I'm out in the sun every day if I can, you know, if it's available.
I'm not aging faster from sunlight.
I'm aging slower.
I'm aging slower.
Light does not age you, it turns out.
I think darkness ages you and deficiency ages you.
But, you know, mainstream doctors tell you, you have to hide in the shadows, live in the shadows, never let sunlight touch your skin or you'll die.
You know, which is the same thing as my sixth grade teacher saying, and a hard drive is voodoo.
It wasn't even a hard drive.
Floppy drive is voodoo.
That's doctors.
Sunlight will kill you.
Yeah, you're all morons, it turns out because I'm getting lots of sunlight, staying productive.
I mean, I'm not immortal.
I'm still aging at, I would say, a normal pace.
You know, I've got a lot of gray hair, whatever.
I don't look like I'm 30 anymore.
Fine.
But I also don't look like I'm 85.
So, you know, there's something to be said about aging normally, aging in a healthy way.
That's totally fine for men and women alike.
And also, then I don't have to go get, you know, cosmetic surgery.
It stretches your face.
It's like, what happened to your eyes?
You look like you're about to rob a bank with pantyhose on your face.
Oh, that's your real face.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've just never seen one stretch that much.
I'm sorry.
If anybody listening, if you've had cosmetic surgery, I'm not judging you.
That's just never, I'm never going to do that.
Never going to happen.
I don't care.
I don't care how many wrinkles I get, man.
Whatever.
No cosmetic surgery here.
Well, they're like, hey, why don't you inject venom peptides into your skin?
It cures wrinkles and stuff.
I'm like, what?
What?
No.
If I wanted to be bitten by a snake, I would reach under strange rocks without knowing what's under there.
Yeah.
If I wanted venom, I could run around barefoot and step on scorpions in Texas.
I don't need to inject venom.
No, thank you.
Well, I guess it's Botox or toxins.
I guess that's not technically venom.
Toxins.
Yeah.
I also don't inject toxins.
That's on my do not inject list.
All right.
Okay.
I should move forward here with the interview today.
So look, this is an interview with Michael Yahn.
Michael Yahn is not a fan of Trump at all, as is obvious in this interview.
So we're talking about Trump.
We're talking about policies.
We're talking about bricks and geopolitics and things like that.
But if you are a Trump fan, you probably will be a little bit triggered by this interview.
But I did, I counterpointed Michael Yan on several points about Trump kind of playing devil's advocate here.
So I'm trying to further the conversation, trying to get a deeper understanding of the points that Michael is making.
The thing is, Michael Yahn is almost always right.
He's been right about so many things.
He's been years ahead on so many things.
You can't simply dismiss Michael Yahn as a TDS sufferer because he's never been that.
He's never been an irrational hater of Trump or anyone.
He's always very rational.
And he's traveled and lived in so many countries all over the world.
Remember, he's a war correspondent, an actual war correspondent with years of experience in war zones, in crumbling nations, in active combat zones, you name it.
He's seen more things on this planet than almost any other human.
I mean, he's seen it all.
Almost all, I suppose.
So he's coming from a place of experience and judgment.
Whether you agree or disagree with what he's saying, he's not irrational.
He's very thoughtful, actually.
So with that in mind, enjoy the interview.
And I'll be back with you tomorrow with more interesting stuff to share.
And until then, have a great day.
Take advantage of our sale, healthrangerstore.com slash 2026, and enjoy the interview with Michael Jan.
As you know, it's all related.
The things that are happening in Netherlands or Gaza or Ukraine, Panama, or there in Venezuela.
It's all the same war.
I mean, okay, so let's just assume, using that word, that Maduro actually was picked up and he's actually in New York, right?
All they've done is what?
They haven't toppled the government.
They took the top leaf off of a tree.
That's it.
The tree is completely intact.
In fact, the entire jungle is intact.
It's hard to tell with Trump.
He's not exactly acting in our best interest.
And that's quite clear.
He's a gangster.
All right.
Welcome, everybody, to this emergency interview with Michael Jan in the aftermath of Trump's invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping or arrests, if you want to take that angle, of Maduro and his wife with lots and lots of implications for oil, for silver, for rare earths, for Western hemisphere projection of power, China, and much more.
So welcome, Michael.
Thanks for joining me at this late hour.
Thanks, Michael.
And as you can imagine, this is the world's getting more and more exciting.
Yeah, it didn't take long for the new year, huh?
Yeah, Masako and I are with Catherine Austin Fitz here in Netherlands at the moment and watching this with great interest because as you know, it's all related.
The things that are happening in Netherlands or Gaza or Ukraine, Panama or there in Venezuela, it's all the same war.
There's different faces of it, but it's all the same war.
You know that very, very well.
Well, and it keeps coming back to what you have often cited as routes and resources.
And, you know, Venezuela, because of its location, has the ability to harass U.S. ships moving in and out of the Gulf, as well as ships that are at least en route to the Panama Canal.
So give us your assessment of why, I mean, regardless of the illegality of it for the moment, but tell us why do you think, what are Trump's strategic reasons for this action against Venezuela?
It's hard to tell with Trump.
What was his strategic reasons for pushing the death jab into Americans and other people all over the world?
I mean, because, you know, he's not exactly acting in our best interest.
And that's quite clear.
He's a gangster.
I mean, that's quite clear as well.
And so now, long term with, I mean, okay, so let's just assume, using that word, that Maduro actually was picked up and he's actually in New York, right?
And that in that, I mean, so, you know, because we know that they lie about big stuff all the time, like really big stuff.
So who knows, right?
Here we are with the Cartesian thing, you know.
And so if you, if they do have Maduro, and if he's actually the one that's going to be put on trial, or if they didn't, you know, whisk him off and have him torturing him somewhere right now for information and maybe have some look-alike go on trial for him, who I have no idea, right?
Because nothing is beyond them because everything's a movie.
Right.
But all they've done is what?
They haven't toppled the government.
They took the top leaf off of a tree.
That's it.
The tree is completely intact.
In fact, the entire jungle is intact, right?
So they took one guy out and his wife, and that's it.
The rest of the, you know, killed a few with the bombs and that sort of thing, more than a few, but an unknown number of people they killed.
But at the end of the day, Venezuela is completely like it was before this, except that, you know, except that some are probably happy and some are probably pretty angry.
But the same government is still in place.
So what to make of that?
Yeah, so, well, that brings up so many questions.
So Trump says that he's going to, or that we, the United States, we're going to run Venezuela now for a while.
And, you know, I'm thinking, how?
You can't run Venezuela unless you militarily occupy it because it's more than just the leader, as you just said.
It's more than just one guy at the top.
It's a whole infrastructure.
It's a culture.
There are factions.
There are ways of doing things in every culture.
And those things are going to continue, right?
I mean, what is Trump imagining is going to happen from here?
I mean, obviously, he's not going to run Venezuela, period.
It's just not going to happen.
He constantly says things that are just untrue.
Like, for instance, we've taken back Panama.
We're taking back.
Panama has not been taken back.
It's just not.
And I'm there all the time.
And I get constant reports from Panama when I'm not there.
It's just China is still slowly filling the bathtub on Panama.
And we definitely need to push back.
China is not omnipotent or omniscient.
They are vulnerable, but we just left the vacuum.
They filled it easily, right?
But when it comes to Venezuela, it's a perfect storm.
The only thing that's missing is massive ideology disputes.
Well, except there are a lot of communists there as well.
But when it comes to routes and resources, Venezuela is quite rich.
As you know, one of the richest countries on planet Earth.
And it happens to be in our neighborhood as well.
And as you know, you talk about these things all the time, that losing the dollar as the reserve currency, it's slipping away.
And if, you know, if that oil is being exported to China and they're doing transactions in Yuan, I mean, that's a big deal.
These things add up over time, right?
So there's more to this than meets the eye.
It has nothing to do with drugs, as you very well know.
That's just complete nonsense.
But again, Trump's constantly saying things that just are just fantastically untrue, like taking credit for a peace agreement, peace treaty between Cambodia and Thailand.
He had zero to do with that.
You know, I'm pretty dialed in in Thailand.
I wrote the last two pages of one of the prime minister's books, right?
You know, I had tea with him a few months ago in Bangkok, right?
I mean, I'm pretty dialed into what's going on over there.
He had nothing to do with that, right?
But he's constantly taking credit, like, you know, we're going to run Venezuela.
You're not going to run Venezuela.
Venezuela can't even run itself.
We can't run California, and we're talking about going over there.
You know, this is the typical, well, it's gangsterville.
Of course, there is a huge amount of resources there.
Some of them certainly could be siphoned off.
But, you know, if they really go for the oil and the Venezuelans truly don't want it, then, you know, they can certainly sabotage anything.
We saw that happen in Iraq.
I remember huge dark clouds of smoke coming over when, you know, when infrastructure was, it was massive.
It was like out of a movie.
You know, it's like unbelievable.
When you actually see that happen, it really almost doesn't look real.
You know, just massive black smoke.
You know, of course, they could easily do that if they perceive that we're stealing their oil.
I don't know what's going to happen.
Nobody does.
Now, keep in mind, China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, everybody there are buddies with Venezuela, right?
So in that regard, it's a perfect storm.
While China is clearly moving in hardcore into the Gulf of America, I will call it that.
Even as kids, we wanted to call it that.
So that's not a new name.
But, you know, China's got a giant embassy off of the coast of Florida over in the Bahamas, right?
They're moving all over the place in there.
They're filling up the bathtub there in Panama and Ecuador.
They're really moving in.
And now, you know, the fight over the resources, again, this is the same war that's unfolding over in Iran.
It's the same war that, you know, where Israel just acknowledged the existence or recognize the sovereignty, I think is what they actually did for Somaliland.
And many people are asking me, why did Israel do that?
But if you look on a map, you can know that answer in just a couple seconds.
Somaliland is on the horn of Africa and it's for control of the Red Sea, right?
And so obviously next door to that is Djibouti, where China has people.
We've got people there.
Japan does.
Many people do.
Djibouti is right.
And then Eritrea next to that, of course.
So, I mean, if you want to control, if you're going to open a Ben-Gurion Canal and operate this, because they want to take the Suez Canal.
The Zionists want to take Suez Canal, which will be, you know, going to have to fight Egypt for that, obviously, and others.
And by the way, That's why you don't see China or Russia putting up a big fight about what Israel is doing to Gaza.
They don't want them there either.
Gaza, they just, they have no friends, are being genocided, right?
So this is all, but again, it's all the same war.
What's going on with Iran and the trip route up there between Turkey and Armenia and Azerbaijan?
It's all the same thing.
It's routes and resources and ideology.
And, you know, just the other day, Masako and I were at Rotterdam looking at this side of the Chinese railroad that comes all the way to Rotterdam and Netherlands, which is the biggest port in Europe, all the way over to Shanghai.
I've been on that side too.
I mean, this is all these routes are being built up all over the world.
And so it's a struggle, you know, who's going to end up controlling the new Silk Road at the bottom line.
And as you can see, though, Trump is just not a serious guy.
He's basically a boy in an old man's body, right?
He's never been a serious man.
He's just always been in positions to do things, right?
He's an easy toy.
Well, hold on.
Let me counter that because I think his supporters right now would say that his invasion of Venezuela proves he is a serious man, that he's actually taking action, although it's obviously illegal under the UN Charter, etc.
But they would say that that proves he's serious.
Now, I want you to ask me, but here's my question: Is you know, the U.S. condemned Russia for the attack on Ukraine in 2022, saying that was an unprovoked war of aggression.
Well, couldn't Venezuela say the same thing right now that the U.S. invasion of Venezuela is an unprovoked war of aggression?
And then can't China point to that and say, well, this gives us permission to take Taiwan and the U.S. can't say anything about it?
Yeah, I mean, obviously they can use those.
Now, again, keep in mind, we only took Maduro and his wife, right?
So basically, we took one leaf off the top of a great redwood tree, right?
You know, it's the whole structure is still there.
The whole army is still there.
The whole everybody, all the gangsters, all the business people, everybody who normally does business there, they're still there.
There's no change.
Keep in mind, I spent two years in Iraq and two years in Afghanistan watching that for four years watching this.
Those were much easier nuts to crack than Venezuela, like by far, right?
And we see how those played out.
And, you know, I saw these governments in a box being installed.
I wrote about it many times.
That's what they called it, government in a box.
You go take them out and put a new government in.
But, you know, like in city level and province level, that sort of thing.
But it never, I mean, there is no government in a box for Venezuela.
I'm not sure what their plan is, even if they even have a plan.
But it's clear that there's more action to come.
That much is obvious.
I can see that from various, as an example, there's clearly been an information war about Margarita Island, which I've mentioned many times over the last few years.
Margarita Island is an island off the north of Venezuela.
It's over closer to Trinidad and Tobago in that area, closer to Guiana, that side, right?
And so, not really that close, but that direction and northeast.
And so there's been an information war there for years, talking about how Hezbollah and Hamas are there, right?
Now, in my study of information war, which is, you know, last has been going on for years, one thing I've noticed is these wars, they always radiate information.
They radiate it quite brightly, actually.
I've never seen a war just start from out of the blue, like with no clues whatsoever, right?
It rumbles and it, you know, it smokes and belches, and finally some war kicks off.
But you can see clearly targeted information war against Venezuela.
And specifically, I see him constantly talking about Margarita Island.
For instance, it's been said by our intelligence people that a guy who was the mastermind of a bombing in Panama in when was that 1992-ish killed maybe 21 passengers coming from Cologne to Panama City.
I'm sorry on the details, but that's close to right.
But the passengers were mostly Jewish, right?
In fact, I know one of the relatives, he's a friend of mine down in Panama.
He's a Jewish man in Panama.
One of his relatives was killed.
Two of his relatives were killed on the flight.
But I mean, Jewish people definitely were killed on that flight.
And then there was another attack within roughly 24 hours down in Argentina.
And how many of that killed?
Maybe 80?
I'm sorry, I've forgotten.
It was a lot.
It was a big attack down in Argentina.
But those happen back to back.
Now, I haven't, when you really push for proof that any Hezbollah were involved, it really doesn't present itself.
But it's said that the Hezbollah mastermind who was involved in the bombing in Panama in that component, that he was a member of Hezbollah and that he was running a bar on Margarita Island, right?
And so, well, that's interesting.
Why, if he was running a bar on Margarita Island and we know it, why didn't we do something, right?
And I asked that directly to a pretty serious guy, and he's like, well, you know, he didn't have an answer.
You know, it's just one of those.
And so, in any case, just a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that there was some more information war on against Margarita Island.
If you look up Margarita Island and you'll see that Fox News, just a couple of weeks ago, I noticed they were talking about Hamas and Hezbollah, Margarita Island.
What I'm getting to is that is a clear indicator that we're going to do something on Margarita Island, right?
That they keep talking about it.
They keep pecking on it.
And so, you know, I wouldn't doubt if we end up seeing troops on the ground there, they might set up some fob or something, you know, Ford Operating Base and Margarita Island.
I don't know.
But watching the information wars like this, as I've been watching for years, when you see that sort of information radiating, you know something's cooking up.
Keep in mind, Venezuela and the United States have been at war with each other for a long time.
This is nothing new.
Things have been going on and a lot of things behind the scenes.
If you look up, you know, Americans arrested in Venezuela, you'll see some former soldiers got arrested there, special operations guys.
You know, it wasn't a coincidence.
There's a lot more going on back and forth.
Keep in mind, Venezuelans have a lot of banking that's done in Panama, right?
Venezuela, Panama is thick with Venezuelan money.
All this stuff is connected, you know, in Nicaragua as well.
And so that's a package deal.
When you talk about Nicaragua and Cuba and Venezuela, that's a package deal.
And of course, many Venezuelans are in Colombia.
Masako and I and Chuck Holton went down there, I don't know, four years ago or so looking at that or five years ago now.
And, you know, go ahead, sir.
Well, but all this leads me to, I mean, I have to ask you, how far do you think Trump is going to take this?
You know, he's talking about Colombia.
He's threatening the president of Mexico verbally.
He hasn't yet talked about many other countries, but is Trump going to have the U.S. Empire invade and try to occupy and run half of South America?
You know, my best advisor is my intuition, right?
Which I've been feeding for years.
And, you know, I just feed it with information and go see things.
What I, my intuition, and I think it's backed up by a lot of evidence, is that Trump, of course, he's a Zionist.
When I first started saying that a long time ago, people are like, ah, how can you say that?
And now he admits to it.
Okay.
It's very obvious.
He doesn't hide it.
He admits to it.
So anyway, he's a Zionist.
And as a Zionist, he doesn't care about the United States.
He pushed the death jab.
That's all anybody needs to know about that.
This is 2026.
He's still sticking to it.
Fauci didn't fool him, right?
You know, now we can go apparently kidnap Maduro, if that's true, but can't get Fauci or the Epstein stuff or the Epstein list, right?
He's okay, right?
Big, capable guy.
And so at the end of the day, it's crystal clear he's actively destroying the United States, actively, not just through incompetence.
He's using active measures to destroy the United States.
It's obvious.
And spreading yourself out, fighting everybody under the sun, that's a great way to destroy your country.
You know, a lot of Americans still seem to think that we've got this World War II army, you know, that we can like produce an aircraft carrier every two weeks or something.
You know what I mean?
It's not like that, right?
And the problem set is much larger now.
It's much more sophisticated.
And the people that are allegedly running our country are not that sophisticated.
They're not that sophisticated at all.
I mean, they're sophisticated enough to push things like Bitcoin.
You know, they're sophisticated enough to do massive fraud and push death jabs into people.
But when it comes to dealing with this very sophisticated global environment, they're just not that guy.
They're gangsters, right?
They seem to behave.
They don't seem to think several layers deep.
They're just clearly doing things that will destroy the United States.
That's what I see from Trump.
Operating with that paradigm, everything I see Trump do, I'm never surprised.
He doesn't surprise me at all.
Let me counter that, though.
Again, a lot of Trump supporters would say at this point that, no, he's protecting America from China's influence in the region, and he is shoring up America's energy supply because obviously we're going to go in and loot all the oil.
I mean, Trump's already announced big oil is going to move in, and we're going to loot the silver mines and the copper mines and whatever else.
I mean, basically, to me, it looks like a pillaging operation plus piracy of the oil tankers.
But a lot of Trump's people would say, well, that's good for America.
I mean, they're cheering for the pillaging and the piracy at this point.
They really are.
But why are they wrong, aside from the ethical and moral implications, aren't they correct about the fact that looting other countries is profitable for America?
Straight up.
I mean, that's plunder.
That's, you know, that's straight up.
Actually, that's a war crime plunder.
It's, I mean, unequivocal.
But, you know, when I was in Iraq, you know, I spent a couple of years there.
And one Iraqi doctor that I had dinners and lunches with at the time, his name was Dr. Morad Murad.
He was a cardiologist.
In fact, he was like an assistant cardiologist for Saddam Hussein, actually.
And he told me a lot of stories.
But, you know, what I, you know, having dinner with him at times at his house in Baghdad.
And Dr. Murad talked about how I asked him about the invasion of Kuwait at one point.
And he goes, you know, when Saddam invaded, he's like, we didn't like Saddam.
I'm like, you're his cardiologist.
He was assistant, actually.
He goes, yeah, well, I didn't really like him.
But when he invaded Kuwait, when Saddam invaded Kuwait, and suddenly he said, we had many cars and new cars.
We had new televisions and chocolates.
I remember he threw out the chocolates thing and candies.
He was very happy.
He's like, Iraqis, they loved it because we looted Kuwait, right?
And then he said, then the sanctions came and then we hated Saddam again.
You know, it's just like, you're just totally, you know, bragging about we looted Kuwait.
You know, and I remember how I thought about that, right?
You know, like, that's a gangster.
And that's what we're doing in many places now, right?
Look at Gaza.
Gaza is straight up hardcore genocide, unequivocal, right?
And yet people will explain that away and they'll say, well, that's Hamas or whatever.
It's like, yeah, all those Christians too.
No, it's obviously not.
It's not like everybody there is Hamas.
It's just not.
And also, October 7th was clearly a false flag.
Very obviously, the Zionists were involved with killing Zionists.
Very obviously, Zionists were involved with killing Jews and non-Jews who were at that party, that drug party, right?
I mean, very obviously.
And yet people still will pretend that didn't happen.
But it's a big real estate.
It's a grab.
It's a smashing grab.
There's the real estate in Gaza, which is very valuable.
And then there's the energy off of Gaza, which you well know about.
And eventually control over Suez, which is a big, big deal.
That may take a generation.
I don't know how long it'll take.
No idea.
And then there's, of course, Somaliland and Djibouti.
And Djibouti must be taking note right now.
If they're acknowledging Somaliland and they're fighting, keep in mind, I've said many, many times, I've said with you too, Michael, that Zionist and China are fighting each other hardcore.
A lot of people think that it's America and China, but it's actually Zionist in China and some Americans, right?
And so, because Trump's Zionist, he's a Zionist party.
That's a meta structure.
It doesn't actually have a country.
And so they are fighting.
And so keep in mind, China has people in Djibouti right next to Somaliland.
Something will end up happening there as well because China is not going to be welcome there, right?
And China, of course, is trying to take Diego Garcia using United Nations to take Diego Garcia and give it to Mauritius.
There's these fights are going on all over the place.
So, you know, it's quite fascinating to watch this unfold, but it could get quite serious at any point.
Because again, like you mentioned before, Taiwan, as you know, I was just recently in Taiwan and Misako and I were because of the same things.
That's what we're, you know, the same situation.
Obviously, if China really goes for Taiwan, which they're clearly lining up to do, they're going to have to go for Okinawa, too, which is Japan, right?
Because it doesn't do you any good to take Taiwan if you don't take Okinawa at all, right?
You've got to go for the whole package.
So China's doing a big information war to take Okinawa, and they've been doing it for a long time.
So they frame Okinawa as the Ryuku Kingdom and an old kingdom called Ryuku.
Actually, it was also called Luchu.
And that, you know, the Chinese claim that the Japanese stole Ryuku.
Of course, Misako, my wife, is from Okinawa.
And she's like, I'm Japanese.
I'm not from Ryuku Kingdom.
I'm not Chinese because Chinese are also trying to make the Okinawans think that they're Chinese, right?
Information war is quite powerful.
And so China is clearly setting the table so that they can eventually attack Okinawa and say that they're liberating it from Japan.
Most Japanese don't see this.
Some do, but not enough.
And that's why I wrote those three books on information war that are only in Japanese, right?
China is clearly lining up to attack Japan, not just Okinawa, not just Taiwan, right?
So this war is global.
Everything that we're seeing from all these windmills that are around here and that are in Texas and all across Germany and all this stuff is part of the same war, right?
For instance, here in Europe, Europe, they blew up Nord Stream.
Of course, the United States did that, either that or it was space aliens.
And closing down Groningen Gasfield, which is not far from me, and invading these places with weaponized.
Let's talk about the invasions, Zionists.
There is one component of this huge invasion complex.
IOM from the United Nations is the big component, International Organization for Migration.
But another large component is HIAS, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.
They have office in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama.
I used to eat breakfast with the highest people down in the Darien.
They have an office that's unmarked up in Panama City at the Ciudad del Saber, completely unmarked.
It took some effort to find it, but it's right there in the city of Knowledge in Panama City.
And they have office in Costa Rica, Mexico, United States, and many other countries.
If you go to highest.org, H-A-I-S.org, you can see that they're bragging about bringing more than 100,000 Venezuelans out of Venezuela who ended up going mostly to the United States.
So they're bragging.
That's with a lot of American money.
Now, you can't, that's straight up hardcore Zionist invading the United States.
And, you know, one lady, she was wearing a, she's a fake Holocaust survivor.
She's an elderly lady.
She's claimed that she's a Holocaust survivor.
It was completely debunked.
And anyway, she's wearing a Hias little button in one of her photos.
And she actually got attacked by somebody.
I think it was in Colorado.
I think somebody burned her.
It was one of the invaders, actually burned her.
So Hias, she's wearing the button, big old highest supporter.
One of the invaders comes in and burned her.
You can look up Jewish lady burned in, I think, Colorado, and you can see her wearing that tag.
And then she's claiming it was anti-Semitism.
It's like, you're wearing the Hias tag.
You're the one that helped them get in, right?
And you're a fake columnist.
Yeah, that's right.
And so this is the kind of stuff that they're doing.
They're literally invading our country and then claiming to be victims of the attackers that, you know, you can't make up this stuff.
Professional victims are always predators.
Okay.
So, but I'm still trying to make sense of where this goes or what this means.
So we both agreed that the U.S. can't run Venezuela.
No.
So, and if you try to occupy it with troops, it becomes a Vietnam guerrilla warfare, lots of body bags for American troops coming back.
You know, that's a nightmare.
That would end Trump's presidency, probably.
So they're not going to do that.
So they're not going to run it.
They're not going to occupy it.
What are they going to do?
Just coerce with naval blockades and threats of bombing and try to force the next person in line to basically betray Venezuelans and kowtow to American demands?
They'll probably just go full gangster, you know, threaten people, kill people, and you know, pay off people and you know, try to because it, but again, I want to go back to something that's quite obvious.
Trump is clearly an agent to destroy the United States, so there's nothing off the table, you know, there's nothing off the table.
I mean, the death jabs is all anybody needs to see to see that, right?
The and so many other things, but the death jabs, he's clearly destroying the United States.
And, you know, now people say, you know, he stopped the immigration.
Well, did he?
He handed out a bunch of visas, right?
And how many visas is it now, you know, between Chinese and Indians?
I don't even know.
It's some large number.
And of course, they're going to keep it.
They're not going to advertise that they're still flooding them in, which they are.
And so at the end of the day, nothing is off the table, right?
The GOP leadership is funding billions of dollars for new migrants to come in.
That's from Speaker Johnson in the House.
The GOP, huh?
The GOP, yeah.
I mean, that's been in the news the last couple of days.
They are approving billions of dollars of funding from migrant relief funds.
So they're just picking up the same migration that happened before, but now they're rubber stamping it to make it quasi-legal.
They're clearly destroying our country and with intent.
It's not incompetence.
Incompetence can't explain all of this.
It's too methodical.
It's too obvious, right?
At some point, it's just not incompetence.
It is the plan.
For instance, Trump trying to continuing to push the ball down the road on making marijuana legal across the United States, right?
Just another, that's Soros.
That's Trump is a straight up Soros policy guy.
Look, if you look at Trump, what he does and what Soros wanted, that's what he's doing, right?
Now, there's still people that'll go, oh, you can't say that about St. Trump.
Why?
It's true.
It's straight up true, right?
And he's, you know, that's what Soros is all about.
Open borders, which Trump is doing with visas, right?
And pushing dope all over the place.
You look at this place.
You look at Amsterdam.
You know, I'm in the Netherlands, right?
You go to Amsterdam, dope heads everywhere.
It's like Washington, D.C.
It's as bad as San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Just absolute dope heads everywhere, right?
And probably 50% aliens from other countries, you know, just from all over the place, except from Amsterdam, right?
And some of the Dutch people say they can go all day in Amsterdam and hardly speak Dutch because they have to speak other languages like German, luckily, or not German or English, right?
Luckily, Dutch usually speak three or four or even five languages because they're going to need them.
And Luxembourg next door is already gone.
You know, Misako and I, we went over there and that country's more, the entire country is more than 50% invaders.
So let's talk about the currency effects then, because clearly what Trump did to Venezuela, it's been denounced by most of the world's population in terms of the national leaders like China and Russia.
I haven't heard India comment on it, but I don't imagine they're happy about it.
Isn't this going to accelerate the move away from U.S. dollar use in transactions and settlements?
It's just going to accelerate BRICS settlement systems.
You know, I had dinner with Catherine Austin Fitz tonight, or now it's last night because it's after midnight.
And we brought this up.
You know, it's like, you know, what, what do you, because, you know, she knows a lot more about that world than I do.
And, you know, and she, she thinks it'll slow down the, or let's say it could slow down the reduction in reliance on the dollar.
But ultimately, it's still going that direction.
Actually, she's the best one to ask.
But as you know, if Venezuela is exporting oil to China and they're doing transactions in Yuan, obviously that reduces the reliance on the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. dollar, we have methodically destroyed our own dollar.
Let's say whoever, not necessarily we, but whoever has been in charge of those dollars have weaponized the dollars.
They just keep printing them like they're going out of style.
And I mean, they're doing the normal thing.
Mike, you're the out of all people on planet Earth, you probably talked about this more than anybody.
You and G. Edward Griffin, he's had a head start.
I mean, you know what I mean?
He's probably talked about it more because he's a lot older.
But I mean, but otherwise, you're catching up fast.
I mean, you know, this is what they've done.
They've just printed it out of existence, or it's not out of existence, but it's going that direction.
Right, right.
Well, and we see that.
And we also see that gold and silver continue to skyrocket in terms of dollar denominations.
But this move in Venezuela, this cuts off China from the silver supply in Venezuela.
There's also a gold supply that comes out of the country.
And then China has put export restrictions on silver and obviously rare earths.
So it seems to me, Michael, that we're looking at now a splitting of commodities into two hemispheres here.
We're going to have Western gold and silver markets and supply chains and pricing.
And then we're going to have Eastern or Chinese-based gold and silver and metals and totally different pricing, totally different supply chains.
Seems like it's going that direction.
What do you think?
Yeah.
I mean, if you look at the Shanghai, you know, physical silver price compared to COMEX, there's a pretty big spread.
I mean, right now, I'm going to guess it's probably six bucks at the moment, somewhere around there, right?
Is that right?
And some days it's more.
How's the arbitrage not like fix that instantly?
I don't even know.
Because nobody can get physical out of London.
That's why.
Yeah.
And keep in mind, by the way, I've seen video of, I don't know if they're legit, of Chinese buying 15 kilogram bars of silver, just huge numbers of them.
Yeah.
The dude was stacking them like bricks.
Yeah.
And, you know, China has an old history with silver.
Silver, I mean, they have a very intricate and intimate history with silver.
I mean, you know, the Ming and the Qing dynasties rose and fell on silver.
China, I mean, the history of silver in China is absolutely fascinating.
They're not just gold people.
They know about gold very, very well, but they also are very intimate with silver.
Silver has, you know, with the Chinese actually has sort of some spiritual significance as well.
I mean, they're very into silver.
Of course, the Spanish, when they were getting silver out of Peru, they were pumping that right over to, you know, through Manila and other places over into, you know, because China didn't want any Western products back in the old days and still don't really want that much, it seems like.
But they wanted that silver.
So, you know, the only way that the Europeans could get products out of China was to pay in silver.
They wanted to be paid in silver.
So that was, you know, it's quite fascinating.
The more you know about the history of China and silver, at a time, for a time, they said, you know, silver is China's gold, and very well could be again.
There was a one-to-one silver-to-gold at that time, somewhere in that region, like one-to-one.
Can you imagine?
Well, look, so let me ask a follow-up question.
So there's a story out of Scottsdale Mint.
U.S. secures silver smelter deal.
to process these metals.
It's financed by JP Morgan, 40% owned by the U.S. Department of Defense.
And it's KoreaZinc is going to have a $7 billion investment in Clarksville, Tennessee to build a silver and other metals smelting operation just in time for the pillaging of Venezuela.
I would think it's like, you know, and to be owned by the Department of Defense.
I wonder if they'll take the ore straight up from Venezuela because China does that in some places like Panama.
They'll just load the ore up and take it over to China to get what they want out of it.
I wonder what their plan is with that.
I don't know.
But it's clear that they're planning to pillage Venezuela.
That's quite obvious.
Yeah, but I mean, have you ever heard of the DOD taking an interest in a metal smelting operation before?
That is the very definition of fascism, actually.
Literally, when the industry is so commingled with the government that they're indistinguishable, that's actual fascism.
As you know, the word fascism, fascia, like the stuff that keeps our body together, and the fascicles that bind a book or that keep a broom together, fascism, to basically combine, right?
And that's why that's where that word fascism came from.
But that is literally fascism.
I mean, we're already fascist.
And actually, pretty much every country I've ever been to is fascist on some level.
Some are just more than others.
And at some point, they truly just fuse into each other.
The vine and the tree become one.
And, you know, obviously the United States is long past that point where, you know, pharma basically owns the people that regulate them.
You know, that's literally fascism.
I've described the U.S. as a pharma state where people say, well, they say Colombia is a narco-state.
Then America, well, the United States is a pharma state.
And Trump is the head of the pharma cartel because he brings in Burla and the head of Pfizer.
They come into the White House.
They get the red carpet treatment.
They get the special handouts.
They get excused from any of the tariffs on drugs as long as they're building manufacturing plants for their drugs in America.
So Trump wants to have more drugs produced, more pharmaceuticals, more vaccines domestically, giving them all kinds of tax breaks for doing that.
I mean, isn't Trump, I mean, he's the leader of a pharma state.
The nominal leader.
I mean, he's a leaf on a tree as well.
You know, he's in the autumn.
You know, he's an autumn leaf.
He won't be there much longer, and then somebody will replace him.
Keep in mind, he's part of an organizational structure.
And he's basically just a leaf on a tree, just like Maduro.
They can come and go.
Trump will come and go.
Maduro will come and go.
But those organizational structures are still there.
G will come and go.
The Chinese Communist Party will probably live on.
And we'll have to actually wait and see, Because things do eventually, everything has a life cycle.
But it's very clear that Trump is just a condom for his bosses.
Well, I've never heard him described that way.
But it is, I've never heard so many former Trump supporters express disappointment with Trump's actions as I'm hearing now.
And I think part of this is because we're coming up on one year of Trump being in power.
And the big things that he promised have not, or most of them have not happened.
We haven't seen arrests of Fauci.
We haven't seen the Epstein files released.
Yeah.
You know, these are big deals.
What about all the traitors who rigged the 2020 election?
What about the traitors who ran the Russia collusion hoax against Trump?
Right.
We can go arrest Maduro, but we can't arrest Fauci.
Exactly, exactly.
Or the Epstein.
Let me say, the total days I have supported Trump remains zero.
Zero.
It was obvious from day one.
And I know everybody will say, were you going to vote for Biden or Clinton?
Obviously not.
I've told you this before.
Newt Gingrich called me before that first election, like 10 years ago, trying to get support for Trump.
And I'm like, Trump?
Are you kidding?
It's like, you got to have somebody else.
I'm not going to vote for a Clinton, obviously.
But, you know, again, you can see people that are very similar to you and you can see your opposite.
Right.
And Trump is my opposite.
I can see like his x-ray against the sun.
I can see his life force.
And the reason I've been so accurate in predicting him is I just look what I would do and I picked the opposite and that's what he does.
I mean, it's like, I want to get rid of China out of this hemisphere, big time.
I've written three books.
I spent a lot of time running around China.
I spent more than 20 years running around Asia.
I don't want China in our hemisphere, right?
But the way that he goes about these things is absolutely destructive to the United States, including we can never forget at all for one second, the death jab, right?
That is all anybody needs to know about who he is.
He's literally murdered massive numbers of Americans and others who took the death jab.
I mean, that can never be, that always must be part of the conversation.
In fact, it needs to be the bedrock on which all other conversations are built.
It has to be on that.
You know, so many Trump cult leaders will say, why don't you forget about, you know, you always bring up the vaccine, they'll still call it.
I'm like, listen, if you'll just forget about that, if you just, if you're willing to just forget that he murdered so many Americans and other people around the world, I got no use for you.
You know what I mean?
I don't want you around me.
You're a dangerous person.
I mean, that's very, very weak.
And cowards are natural traitors, right?
If they won't stand up to Trump after that, there's nothing, they have nothing that they'll stand up for.
And that's very, very serious.
What I see, the test that I give people is to say, you know, take this action, for example, the military attack on Venezuela and the extraction of Maduro.
If Obama had done that, what would be your reaction?
Now, you know, if Obama had done it or if Joe Biden had done it, all the Trump supporters would have lost their minds with condemnation for Obama, right?
You still hear, Michael?
Yeah, I'm still here.
The video stopped.
But if, yeah, let's just keep going.
It doesn't matter.
It'll catch up.
But Joe Biden would have been condemned.
Even Trump's tariffs, for example, slapping these tariffs, punishing India, punishing many of our top trading partners, punishing Japan and Taiwan with tariffs.
If Biden had done it, he would have been called a traitor to America.
Well, yeah, he was.
But why do so many people give Trump a pass on the same things that they would have condemned Obama for doing?
Oh, why the double standard between Trump and, say, Obama?
I think it's just weakness, actually.
And keep in mind as well, though, Trump and Obama were very good con men, both of them.
And so, you know, Obama was able to con people just by the skin color.
And he's not even black.
I mean, the guys, he played black in the movie, right?
It's like he grew up in places like Indonesia.
I've been to his elementary school that he went to, by the way, in Jakarta.
I went there a couple times, and they got a statue of him out front, but I think they don't like him because they put some signs around that statue that were kind of strange.
Anyway, but Obama, the difference between Obama and Trump, I'm not sure what difference there really is.
They were just different leaves on the same tree, right?
Because they're both part of the structure that's destroying the United States.
Biden as well.
And of course, the Clintons either destroying intentionally or just pillaging.
I mean, these are straight up hardcore gangsters that don't seem to care about anything except their own power and their own short-term gratification.
They don't even seem to care about their own grandchildren.
Well, but I mean, Trump's family members are doing very well with all the crypto and all the announcements and investments, cross-investments.
The Trump company is investing in, in one case, a hot fusion company for energy generation.
That seemed kind of unusual.
So, I mean, he is creating wealth for his own family, you know, Nancy Pelosi style, I guess.
They're not going to have an America.
When it's over, though, they're not going to have, when it's all said and done, they're not going to have an America to defend them.
And if China is left standing, when America, because at this rate, they're clearly, clearly destroying, the Zionists are clearly destroying the United States.
It's obvious, right?
And if they succeed through weakness of Americans, then they'll be left facing China and Russia alone, right?
I'm not sure how they're going to handle that because they won't have the numbers.
How are they going to actually handle that?
How are they going to handle those guys?
But why would Zionists want America to be destroyed when America provides so much funding and weapons and intelligence to Israel?
I ask myself that often, but that's clearly what they're doing.
Well, if they lose, I mean, the UK is a big supporter of Israel.
The UK is in deep trouble financially and culturally.
If they lose the UK and then they destroy the U.S., hasn't Israel then taken out two of its biggest allies?
Doesn't seem to make sense, does it?
But that's clearly what they're doing.
So there must be a bigger plan that we don't see.
Could be.
Could be.
It could be.
It could be just I'm not sure what it is.
I think about it a lot.
I mean, I've got some ideas, but I don't know what the answer is.
I look at it quite a lot.
I've been working through this for quite a while.
But they're clearly doing it.
The question is, why?
Is it just through group insanity?
Because these things do happen.
I mean, cults commit mass suicide all the time, right?
And they do it in various ways because groups of people behave similarly to an individual, right?
You have individuals that'll go jump off a bridge, and you'll have entire tribes that'll go kill themselves, and entire peoples that will do things like, you know, ragnarak, go, you know, try to cause a self-immolation and war, right?
I mean, these sorts of things, you know, this is where routes, resources, and actually ideology, right?
And that's why it's very important the study of cults.
I spent years studying cults, so I know a thing or two about them.
I even infiltrated and lived with a cult, right?
So, I mean, the study of cults is up there on importance and level with the study of mathematics.
I mean, it's very important.
There is an apocalyptic end times, you know, interpretation by Zionists that they believe that they need a war.
They need the destruction of the temple, followed by the rebuilding, and they need Russia to attack them, et cetera, to fulfill their prophecies.
So there is that element.
Understanding what is driving that substrate firmware within the social architecture of that group, because that will inform their conscious and unconscious decisions to fulfill their prophecy.
Well, and clearly they control the Trump administration.
There's no question about that.
So I have yet to see Trump do anything that would push back against Netanyahu.
And what about Iran?
Because Netanyahu's recent visit, obviously, he told Trump, you got to attack Iran again.
That's, you know, it's been six or seven months since we bombed Iran, allegedly.
What do you think is going to happen there next?
War, clearly.
I mean, what we're seeing is just a temporary ceasefire.
I mean, they're clearly still at war.
That's obvious.
This is a process war.
It's going on for a long time.
And it's going to come to a head at some point.
You know, of course, the Iranians are the ones who've defended Armenian Christians against Shia Muslims who were armed by the Zionists to kill.
Let me get this straight.
Armenian Christians up there in Armenia.
The Zionists armed the Azeris to attack those Armenian Christians.
And it was the Iranians who stopped those other Muslims from attacking the Christians that were armed by the Zionists.
You can see this in the newspapers.
Wow.
Armenia is like, why is Israel doing this?
And Americans just try to ignore that part.
The ones who will blindly support Israel.
And why is this?
What is this about?
It's about routes and resources.
The Caspian Sea and the trip route there.
The trip route is named after Trump, by the way.
It's the route between the Trump.
Anyway, it's a Trump route, whatever the name of it is, for something in peace, international peace and prosperity or something like that.
It's another nonsense.
But it goes from Turkey through Armenia to Azerbaijan, right?
And so it's called the Trip Route.
And I think it's the Trump route for international peace and prosperity.
I think that's the name of it.
You can't make up this stuff.
But that's why, so that route up there between Turkey and it goes through Armenia.
So that southern part of Armenia that, you know, that's borders on Iran because Armenia has a border with Iran.
And anyway, but you can't make up this stuff.
So, I mean, when you really look at what Armenians, what, let's say, the Zionists in Israel are doing, they're killing huge numbers of Christians and Jews.
They'll kill Jews just as fast.
I mean, it's like I'm talking about Zionists will kill Jews just as fast as they'll kill Christians or Muslims.
I mean, they don't play around.
I mean, they're hardcore.
Look at October 7th.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, I mean, we're almost out of time here, but I don't have any solid idea yet out of this discussion of where things take us next other than just chaos.
I mean, what should the viewer of this interview be thinking about what this means for what's coming in 2026?
I think it'll pick up.
I mean, that's clear.
Obviously, it's a package deal with, you know, between Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, of course.
And then, of course, Venezuela's got those partners, Iran and Russia and China.
I mean, this is, you know, this is, they've got friends.
You know, China, I mean, Venezuela has friends and some serious friends.
Of course, you know, Cuba needs that oil.
And there's going to be a big problem for Cuba, too.
Are we going to see a bunch of people washing up on the beaches of Florida again?
Maybe.
You won't believe how many Cubans I saw come through the Darien Gap.
It was huge.
It was massive.
Wow.
Okay.
So, I mean, what else?
Anything else you want to leave us with here?
No, I mean, people are getting what they wanted.
They wanted Trump and they got Trump.
And I warned.
And what else can I say?
I mean, this is at some point, you just burn down the house and you can't unburn the house, right?
The only thing that you can do, there's a lot of things.
And one is to stop support somebody that's actually killing you, right?
You know, the death jab thing.
You know, stop supporting anybody who's actually killing you.
Because when the least of the bad is also killing you, it doesn't mean you should support the least of the bad when he's killing you too.
It means you should oppose both, right?
Oppose everybody who's trying to kill you or kill our country.
That's very important.
I say that because Trump supporters, there are still some out there, and they're quite wild-eyed at this point.
You know, they're getting frantic, and they just flood my inbox, and I just block, block, block.
Go away, man.
Seriously.
I mean, how much do I have to see to realize that they're supporting somebody who has actually managed to get that jab into some of my family and friends, right?
I take that quite personally, right?
And we should all take it personally.
They've destroyed millions of people, over 600,000 dead in Japan alone.
Well, absolutely.
I completely agree with you on that point.
And at the same time, we couldn't support the Democrats in the last election.
You know, they were destroying all America through immigration.
The Democrats were jailing people over their speech.
The Democrats were so corrupt, money laundering, USAID, the whole Somali thing is just the tip of the iceberg.
Massive fraud and also pushing the war with Russia.
The Democrats weren't an option.
They're definitely not an option.
Democrats are absolutely.
But that doesn't mean we should then support somebody who's also wants to take our free speech and also is invading us, but doing it with visas.
Right.
I mean, it's the same red pill or blue pill.
They're both coming from the same guy.
We don't even know his name, Morpheus.
Okay, what's his last, where is he from?
He's got these pills.
I'm supposed to choose between one of these pills.
That's the old game, the false choice.
And as you know, when somebody forcibly comes up, well, these are your choices, right?
Many people go, well, those are my choices, right?
I can either jump off the cliff or I can jump off the other cliff, you know?
And so how about not jump off?
Set myself on fire.
Yeah.
And so because it's just, you know, these are not the droids you're looking for.
There's a little, you know, one time I was in a protest in Hong Kong and it was quite violent.
And I said on live stream, so this is published out there.
There was a police line.
They were fighting with protesters.
And I said something like live.
So the audio picked it up very loud.
I said, watch this.
I'm going to go right through the police line.
I walked.
They were shoving people back with the shields and stuff.
I walked right up, looked at a police, and walked right through the police line, walked right outside the back of the police line and was filming the back of the police.
How did I do that?
Straight up, these are not the droids you're looking for.
I mean, you should see the video, right?
It's amazing what happens when you just so I'm in charge here, right?
And that's what Trump has been doing, right?
He just takes charge, and people are like, okay, he killed a few million people at the death jab, but he's still my boy.
You know, it's like, you know, it's quite intense.
Yeah, it is.
Okay.
So, Michael, give us, give us your X account and your website, how people can follow you.
I'm on Substack, and I'm going to publish something as soon as we get offline, actually, about this AI that's flooding around on YouTube.
And I'm on X under my name and Big Honey, Big Honey.
But my name also Michael Yan, Yankee Oscar November.
Thank you, Michael.
Okay.
Hold on.
What AI video are you talking about?
Is that the China guy talking about silver?
Which are you talking about?
Yeah, Asian guy.
They call him AG, you know, silver.
Yeah, that guy.
He's one of them.
But there's all these other videos that are combining, they're combining people that are real, like Andy Sheckman, actually.
David Morgan, I saw their user David Morgan.
And him too.
And that guy, the former economic minister, I think from Greece.
I'm sorry, what's his name?
Yeah, I don't remember how to pronounce his name, but yeah, it's a long Greek name, yes.
Yeah.
And he's in a lot of them.
I saw him talking about, I watched him earlier today.
He was going, I was looking at myself and I couldn't.
At first, he didn't, he just, I think he thought that it might have been an old conversation that he gave, right?
It looks so realistic because they're actually taking old videos and in some cases, they're taking with the Asian guy, that's clearly made from scratch.
But with the, but with some of them, they're taking like Andy Sheckman and taking real things that he said, but putting them in different context, you know.
Totally.
And so, I mean, that's quite serious.
David Morgan, there was a video of his voice, and I sent it to him.
I said, David, is this you?
Do you really say these things?
He's like, Nope, that's 100% AI, but it sounded just like him.
It sounded fully human.
Oh, I saw David Morgan too.
That's right.
You know, and David Morgan, obviously, people listen to him very closely because he knows his business, right?
Yes.
Like Andy Sheckman and others as well.
So they're taking these people that are honestly experts and then they're recutting it.
And it's done so quickly, nobody knows what's real.
You know, it's the Cartesian thing going on here, right?
Yeah, totally.
All right.
So again, so your sub stack is michaeljan.substack.com.
That's right.
So just look up Michael Jan on Substack and thank everybody who signed.
