Why We Left Google 00:04:05
Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report.
With me today as co-host is Daniel McAdams.
Daniel, good to see you.
How are you this morning, Dr. Paul?
Doing very well, and we have a good program today.
Oh, yeah.
Special guest.
And he tends to have a lot of agreements with liberty and anti-war, and that's what I like.
So that's good.
We have Gerald Salenti, a very popular speaker, and he does a good job in predicting the future.
Gerald, it's great to have you on our program today.
I'm so honored to be with you, Dr. Pearl and Daniel, and I thank you both so much for all you do to bring peace and joy and love and liberty to America and the world.
And as we go into Christmas, I consider myself, you know, it is Christmas time, and it's the celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace.
And I consider myself a warrior for the Prince of Peace.
So Jesus Christ is my kind of guy.
You know, Gerald, it brings up a memory for me when I was doing my campaign, and I would bring that up and talk about the Prince of Peace might have a different foreign palsy.
And I had a lot of grief from Christian audiences.
But we really don't want to get too deep in that, but we certainly share your thoughts on Christmas.
I want to start off, Gerald, with a general subject, and that has to do with what we're witnessing now, I think the most ever in my lifetime, and that is social unrest.
We've had it.
We've had the 60s, and we've had depression and war and these sorts of things.
But for some reason, it seems to be more deep-seated and more significant than ever.
And one of the symbols of this is homelessness.
I was wondering if you'd just sort of give us a few comments about that.
And what do you see happening?
And what's the real culprit?
And what do you see the future of this social unrest that we're witnessing today?
It's global.
I mean, look what's going on around the world.
Hong Kong, France, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Angola, excuse me, Algeria, Lebanon, Sudan, Cameroon, India, Kashmir.
I've been in this business now for 40 years.
I've never seen anything like this.
And what is the basis of most of these?
Income inequality, poverty, misery, corruption, violence.
And you're seeing all these demonstrations, riots, wars, strikes, protests.
So going back to the homeless, you know, it's the multinationals have taken over.
And as I say, all we've become are plantation workers in the multinational plantation of Slave Landia.
Look at the numbers that came out last week when it showed how many major corporations in the United States paid no taxes.
And places like Amazon and Starbucks, I mean, they're great places to work for.
I mean, you make, you know, nothing.
And what did they pay?
They got negative taxes.
In other words, they got money back.
So we're seeing the homeless population for a variety of reasons.
And among them, my generation, the baby boom generation, they're getting too old to work.
They haven't saved any money.
And now they're out on the streets.
Younger people growing up.
Where are they going to get jobs?
And you look at the job numbers that came out recently.
Where were they jobs created in?
Oh, the hospitality sector and Healthcare, you know, ambulatory.
They're paying nothing.
So, this, when I'm putting this all together in saying that this homeless crisis is going to escalate not only in the United States, but worldwide.
Again, you're seeing the protest, the violence, the riots, and it's about the bottom line.
The 1% has the dough, and the rest of the people have nothing.
And you know what I say?
When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it and they're losing it.
Trump's Syria Strategy 00:12:16
That's true.
You know, one other, I think my answer to that question is generally very close to yours, obviously.
But, you know, I also bring up the subject of something that Mises said in Human Action.
He says that when a government, our country, or our world, destroys the monetary system, for instance, destroying a daughter, it usually destroys the middle class as well.
So we have this additional factor of maldistribution of wealth along with those other factors that you suggested.
And I imagine that you don't have any love for our monetary system.
Well, and I love what the Federal Reserve, the New York Bank, is doing as well, where they dump in since September 17th over $3 trillion into the repo markets so that the gamblers could gamble.
And these people are addicts.
They're money addicts.
And now they're estimating they're going to be pumping in from December 16th to January 18th another $2.9 trillion into the repo markets.
You can't make this stuff up.
You can't make it up.
They have made it up, just like they made up zero interest rate policy and quantitative easing.
All right.
Daniel, I believe, has a question for you.
Chair, you know, we titled this, we took our title from part of your trends for the new year, New World Disorder.
And I think that really is the best, probably, three words to describe what we expect from 2020.
And I think you share that as well.
You know, it does feel like the center can't hold anymore.
Last week we saw the impeachment vote in the House of Representatives.
But before that, we've seen years, maybe even from election night itself, years of planning for impeachment, the inability of the opposition party to come up with a platform to oppose the party that was elected to the White House, and therefore it all had to be about the Russians and the Ukrainians and God knows what else.
If we can step back from the trees to the forest a little bit and look at 2020, it's an election year.
Things are up in the air.
Considering what's happened these past two years, what do you think the U.S. looks like politically as we get into 2020?
Well, we're forecasting Trump 2020.
And we say Trump by default.
And it's the fault of the Democrats.
They can't put up anybody good enough to run for them.
I mean, you guys know the deal.
It's the swing states.
If it's Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, no way they're going to win the swing states.
If it's Biden, all of this impeachment stuff is going to come back to bite Biden.
I mean, what was the deal?
What's this impeachment about?
Trump wanted to find out how did Biden's boy Hunter get a $50,000 a month gig with Barisma Energy in Ukraine when the cat knows nothing about energy, never been to Ukraine, can't speak the language.
Oh, by the way, Senator Kerry's stepson-in-law, Christopher Heinz of the Heinz 57 group, oh, his partner got on the barisma board as well.
So this is going to come back to bite Biden, and Biden's not that popular.
So it looks like Trump 2020, as we see it now, and it's the divided states of America.
There's not going to be, as we see it, a big democratic sweep.
And also, we're saying that, look, Trump's a New Yorker.
This guy, he'll do anything.
He's a narcissistic guy.
He'll do anything he can to win.
And it's the art of the deal.
He wrote the book.
We're going to see, I believe, interest rates by 2020, this time next year, at zero to negative interest rates.
He's going to do everything he can to prop up the economy.
And by the way, if you look at the recent poll numbers that just came out, he's getting a very favorable polling rating because of what he's doing with the economy.
So that's the way we see it facing 2020.
Right.
Gerald, I want to ask a question about presidential power and how we got to where we are.
It's shared in a bipartisan fashion, and it rejects so much of legislative responsibility.
But we have a presidential power, an executive system, that a president now can issue sanctions at will, and they're ruthless.
And as far as I'm concerned, they're really committing war against certain countries.
And tariffs, that's another war on trade, which it just blows my mind that nobody even asked the question, where did they get all this power?
And of course, one of the worst powers has been since 1945.
We've gone to so many of these wars.
And I know you share our view on the needlessness of all this going on.
But who was responsible for this?
And what do you see happening?
Is this going to continue to get worse?
Or what will be the key to trying to reverse some of this executive branch power?
Well, you mentioned 1945.
I mean, the Congress has not voted to go to war since World War II.
And it's in violation of the Constitution.
What is it?
Article 1, Clause 8, and that Congress is, and so they've given the power to the president.
And I would not use the word bipartisan.
It's one gang.
It's a murderous gang.
Look at the defense bill that was just passed.
Only 48 people in Congress voted against it, $738 billion.
And that's, of course, without intelligence.
And using the word intelligence, as we can see from all the lies that have come out from that Afghan report and the reports coming out about the incompetence of the FBI, intelligence is an oxymoron.
And when you put that, the oxymorons into it, we're looking at, what, a defense budget of over a trillion dollars?
And so there is no bipartisanship.
It's one gang, as I see it, one murderous gang with different names running and ruining the nation.
And they've given the power in violation of the Constitution to El Presidente of Los Estados Unitas.
Right.
Yeah, I want to agree with you on this bipartisan stuff, even though I use the word, because it would come up frequently when I was out on the campaign road.
They'd say, well, what do you think about a third party?
Do you indicate the principle of a third party?
And my answer was, no, I'm waiting for the second party.
That's what we need.
And I think that's your point.
I think Daniel have another question for you.
Yeah, I mean, you know that, Gerald, and we talked about this too.
They passed this massive military spending bill literally days after we find out they've lied to us about Afghanistan for 18 years.
Doesn't matter Republican, Democrat, Republican.
They all lied to us over 18 years.
They knew they were lying.
They knew the $2 trillion was being flushed down that huge toilet.
And they just went ahead as if nothing happened.
Of course, the media is playing along with it.
But you focus a lot on, when you're looking ahead in 2020, on the 1% and how the 1% are getting wealthier at the expense of the rest.
One of the things we talk about on this show a lot, Gerald, is the fact that this 1% is made up to a large degree by the military-industrial complex.
And they've been able to keep scrutiny from glancing at them because they sell us this patriotism.
We're keeping you safe.
Meanwhile, we're spending trillions on needless wars.
Do you think the American people are going to start to wake up to this what we call a scam of the century?
Not at all.
The Afghan story is totally out of the news.
Most people I know who are quite intelligent and informed don't know anything about it.
And America's mainstream media, as I call them, the prostitutes, they get paid to put out by their corporate and Washington warmasters, have kept it out of the news.
So most of the people I know don't even know it's going on, and they just were wrapped up and still are into the whole impeachment process.
And what's going to happen next?
So they have no clue what's going on.
And so they're just going to keep, look, let's go back to the impeachment and think again what it's about and what was the crime.
And again, obviously I'm no fan of Trump.
What was the crime?
Well, he held back military aid.
Military aid?
You mean a half a billion dollars and the several billion we already gave them?
What military aid?
How about enriching the military-industrial complex to slaughter more innocent people around the globe?
Oh, that's a crime.
Can't do that.
And then look at the hypocrisy of Congress.
Now they're coming out with, oh, we've got to go after those Russians and the Syrians for the crimes that they committed in Syria and killing the Syrian people.
As though, hey, did anybody ever hear of Raqqa and what the United States or Obama did to that city in Syria and how over 400,000 Syrians were killed before the Russians and Iranians were invited into Syria?
Oh, and the over million of people the United States slaughtered around the world since the war on terror began.
So again, the people don't have a clue in this country what's going on.
Very good.
You know, I want to ask a question about the deep state, and what comes across to me is ambivalence.
We talk a lot about it, very critical of it.
Trump has talked about it, and he gets some pluses because people say, you know, that's why we elected him.
And some days he says something good, and the next day it might be reversed.
And we struggle with that because we want to be as objective as possible.
So we'll give him a compliment.
And then we go and it gets changed.
Yes, we're bringing the troops home and the next day he adds the troop.
I think you know what I'm talking about.
What is going on there?
What is your idea about what's going on in his mind that he does this and confuses us on trying to understand where's he coming from?
That's who he is.
That's what I was saying.
It's the art of the deal.
Look at this guy's past history.
Look at his business dealings in the past.
He will do anything and say anything at any time in any place.
On one end, he talks about when he's running for president, how we're going to end these needless wars and not have Americans suffer overseas and blah, blah, blah, blah.
And we're going to pull out of Syria, like you said.
And then he goes, and we want the oil.
I mean, yeah, I'm not making this up, right?
We go back to Venezuela, as I keep saying.
You remember, we want the oil.
The former national security advisor, John Bolton, is his words.
We want American oil companies, Venezuela, they're sitting on the world's largest oil supplies in the world.
And it's about oil.
As I say, you think the United States would be in the Middle East or care what's going on in Venezuela if their major export was broccoli?
This is the art of the deal.
This is who this guy is.
Look at what's going on in Congress.
How could any respectable person look up to any of these people that they call our representatives?
We are at the lowest level of intelligence, caring, love, compassion that I've ever seen in my life.
And the thing about Trump that's only different about the ones before him, like the Obama, the Bush, the Clinton, is that the other ones knew how to lie better and put on a better show.
And there's no better example than the Nobel piece of crap prize winner, Barack Obama.
Right.
And that's funny because, you know, there was a recent interview with Assad of Syria, and he said, hey, at least President Trump is the most honest president we've had.
At least he's honest.
He's going to steal the oil.
He wants to steal the oil.
So he gets some credit for that.
But there's something you've been talking about for 2020, and it's a little bit off the path of what we've been talking about, but it's kind of near and dear to my heart.
Smartphones Making Us Dumber? 00:05:02
And it's something that I'm really concerned about.
You call it high-tech heroin, and you're concerned about the 5G issue, and I'm not an expert on that.
But you also talk about the issue of addiction, of online addiction.
It seems to me that smartphones are making us much dumber.
I always get so depressed when I go into a restaurant.
I see a young family, little kids two years old or younger, and everyone's got their thing up to their face.
No one is saying a word to each other.
It seems like we're going down this path.
Is there any chance we might be breaking out of it in 2020, Gerald?
No, I see it getting much worse.
You know, the Kings James Bible, they say the meek shall inherit the earth.
They spelt it wrong.
The geeks have inherited the earth.
And as you point out, you know, when I was a kid, I am who I am because I was blessed, as you were as well, to come from a family that cared about us.
We learned from them.
They used to chase me out of the room with the adults in Italian.
They start speaking Italian when they saw me, so I wouldn't understand.
And then they chase me out of the room.
They say, little pitchers have big ears.
And you listen to the adults.
And as you pointed out, now you go out, little kids are glued to their screens, and no one's communicating.
And then you look at all the studies that come out and show you the negative results of people being addicted and how many people are addicted.
And I don't carry a cell phone.
I began doing work for the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association back in the early 1990s when they had these things in the trunks of cars with aerials.
I know about radio frequency radiation.
I know about all the studies that come out year after year after year about the deadliness of these.
And by the way, they used to also in France and other places ban them for children using them or request not children using them because their brain shield is much thinner.
As you're young, it gets thicker as you're old.
So the radio frequency radiation is going in deeper.
And then when we go to 5G technology, now you're going to have radio frequency radiation on your telephone poles, your lampposts, your roofs of buildings all around your neighborhood with radio frequency radiation.
It's different only in the sense that my parents' generation, everybody used to smoke.
You used to see these ads.
More doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette.
They're doing the same thing with this.
They're making it seem like it's okay as it's deadly because all they're interested in is money.
And it's dumbing down society because you don't have to think for yourself.
You could just ask and you'll get the answer.
So they're addictive in so many ways, sleep, sexual, on and on and on, cancer causing, and I only see it getting much worse.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to finish up here, but before we do this, I want to extend to you an invitation to our conference, which would come later next year.
And hopefully, you'll be able to attend again because you are very, very popular at our conference and with our supporters.
Oh, I would love to.
I will be there.
Also, I want to give you a chance to talk about the Trends Journal so that the viewers today can know exactly how to get in touch with you and how they can follow you and how they can subscribe.
Well, we used to be a quarterly magazine.
Then we went to a monthly.
Now we're a weekly.
And Time magazine, for example, is last week's news next week.
We're tomorrow's news today.
We say what's happening, what it means, and where it's going.
And we dedicate every ounce of energy that we have to make it the best it can be.
And it's the only magazine that shows you history before it happens.
So it's trendsjournal.com.
And of course, my passion is peace, pace ya more, peace and love.
So Occupy Peace is, if anybody would like to give a Christmas gift of peace, please go to occupypeace.com.
And most of all, I thank you so much, Dr. Paul, for all you do, the courage that you have, and Daniel, for bringing the messages out to the world about really what has to be done so we all rise to a higher level.
Because you cannot evolve in a state of fear and terror.
You know it in your personal lives when things are going rotten and you cannot be creative.
And if we're in a society of always war and terror, we're not going to evolve to a higher level.
Right.
Gerald, I want to thank you very much for being with us today, and I know our audience will enjoy this program.
And I want to thank our viewers today for tuning in to the Liberty Report.
