Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it's cold as hell. And there's no one there to... What's up, freaks? Just got some Rocket Man stuck in my mind. I don't know why we're focusing on this guy so much, but Elon Week rolls on. Just recorded an epic podcast with our very good friend Whitney Webb. She's back on the show.

Let's talk about a plethora of things. The topic of choice, the topic du jour, Bitcoin under attack. How are they going to attack Bitcoin in just common sense in general? And who is they? The World Economic Forum, the Davos crew, the Bilderberg crew. What is their plan? How are they going to attack it? Cyber attacks, climate, CBDCs, all discussed in this episode.

You guys are about to hear it. I hope you enjoy it. This rip was brought to you by our good friends, the motherfucking Cash App. Cash App sells you stack sats, send sats, receive sats, sell sats. If you so please, we're saying sats. Sats, sats. Sats, sats, sats, sats, sats, sats. Sats. I'm gonna sat-shay.

Kenny Powers, you need to sat-shay out of here. Take your sats and walk away. Why are we saying sats? Because sats are the standard. We're shifting the bad mental frameworks of

Unibis. There's 100 million satoshis in a bitcoin you don't have to buy a whole bitcoin you don't have to buy a fraction of bitcoin you stack whole sats cash app lets you do that you can buy a daily weekly bi-weekly you can dca in the sats you can set it and forget it and get your cash card except anywhere visa is accepted sometimes they'll let you get sats back yeah you put your sats back boost on you get sats back they got stonks if you want them cash app can be your bank account they're offering accounting numbers and routing numbers so you get your paychecks direct deposited into the app well it's a bunch of other things you can send bitcoin sats excuse me to other

or the mainstream media the prop the propaganda arms of like the political expert class they don't really do hard journalism anymore whitney in my opinion is somebody doing very hard journalism and uh she's getting deplatformed she got deplatformed for patreon she's under the impression she's gonna get kicked off twitter um go support her with bitcoin we're bitcoiners here i know a lot of you guys listen to that unlimitedhangout.com uh support page you can you can send her some bitcoin um what else do we got if you guys are liking this like subscribe share rate review maybe we'll get the platform too luckily we have bitcoin set up as well enjoy

you've had a dynamic where money's become freer than free If you talk about a Fed just gone nuts, all the central banks going nuts. So it's all acting like safe haven. I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their currency, Bitcoin wins. In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor. I mean, that's part of the bull case for Bitcoin. If you're not paying attention, you probably should be. And we're recording.

Parenting is the ultimate. push back against this weird society that we find ourselves in right now it's very counterculture yeah well this whole thing about you know you needed to have less kids you need to uh eat worms uh and cockroaches and stuff like this you know that whole push um you know resisting that i think by having uh kids and families you know sticking it to the depopulation billionaires i do think that's a form of resistance at least i think that uh personally but not everyone can do it obviously you have to have a partner. You have to be able to procreate. You know, there's a lot of things that, that are involved, financial resources, kids aren't cheap, but you know,

if you can, it's definitely a way to resist the agenda for sure. And, and raise kids that are aware of a lot of the stuff going on and don't you know, don't believe the propaganda straight away. You know I think parenting is really important and gets overlooked a lot. Anyway, that's probably not what people expected me to be on the stream to talk about. yeah but important things to talk about we were uh for any of you freaks you're basically just hopping into in the middle of a conversation when you are having better kids it's uh no it is counterculture it is crazy that a lot of people in the expert class are pushing people to not have kids and i'm a millennial like a lot of people in my generation are

got complacent not having kids um well i think a lot of that's the financial shit too you know the fact that you know uh millennials i'm also one i'm 31 we were dealt a really crappy hand um and a lot of people can't um you know do their best but having kids especially in the states is really expensive um when i worked at mint press my salary would not have allowed me to raise a kid, unless I was living in Chile, where I, you know, live until relatively recently. So, you know, it's, it's complicated stuff. But you know, if you can do it, it's definitely, you know, something to consider, I think. But you know, just because not just because it'll make Bill Gates mad, you know, well, Whitney, this is part of the reason why we Bitcoin Bitcoin planners will say

that one of the reasons that people are having less kids because you have both parents being forced into the workforce on the hamster wheel working paycheck to paycheck because the central banks and the governments are just inflating away money so people literally cannot save and accumulate capital to to right well apart from that too in the u.s it's like the only country where you can't be uh get guaranteed paid maternity leave if you're a woman um so i mean that's pretty wild that actually happened to me uh my kid uh when i had my kid i only had two weeks off because couldn't afford uh to go a whole month without work at the time so pretty wild a lot of things uh stacking against it but um you know i think it's definitely um important stuff and sorry if

i sound really nasally i've been a little sick um so sorry in advance you sound fine all right i guess i sound more nasally to me you know how you always sound weird when you hear yourself compared to how other people hear you yeah but so where should we start last last time we talked we were talking about cyber attacks you'll be able to look out for that seems like they're in the news recently yeah oh there's uh there's more yeah apparently uh ireland's uh health system their it was taken down today and another ransomware cyber attack and um allegedly after the colonial pipeline one samsung said their european branch was also hit um allegedly by the same group that hit colonial pipeline but you know there's a lot of really well we'll get into

it there's a lot of fuckery with this whole uh narrative and the people that stand to benefit are the ones basically speaking for the supposed hackers and stuff like this um so it's really uh nuts and there's a lot more going on so uh wherever you'd like to start yeah so let's start ransomware i mean is i've wrote a newsletter earlier this week talking about the colonial pipeline ransomware attack and saying hey this is probably an attack vector for bitcoin ransomware obviously is looking to get paid out in bitcoin or monero and um that bitcoin is not enabling the ransomware attack or maybe it is enabling to an extent but the the hackers are using bitcoin because it's uh uncensorable like it's peer-to-peer cash and right it looks like an attack vector

for bitcoin um yeah i agree well before this uh you and i were talking uh about how this was going to happen basically um because what's interesting is that now all the attacks are being ransomware and basically what they're going to do is say um the only way we can stop ransomware attacks is by taking away the incentive, i.e. the money. So we have to eliminate the ability for people to have untraceable funds transferred to them in these ransomware attacks, whatever that may be. So yeah, it's definitely going to be used for a push for regulation. And at the same time, we're seeing the whole climate narrative being used for the same purpose, really. They're going to come at it from both sides. So Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum guy, at the beginning of the year

before this year's Dave Ellis basically laid out what's going to happen in the year. And this is back in January, right? And he was saying, COVID is going to be not going to be a concern anymore. This is when we need to start moving on from COVID. We need to start tackling climate change. And then he said, by the end of the year, everyone's focus, like it's on COVID now, will be on climate change. And then a few months after you, Bill Gates do his media blitz, not on pandemics this time, but on climate, right? And you're starting to hear it a lot more. And then Project Veritas exposed that CNN technical director as saying climate change after COVID. I mean, this should be, if you're not, I mean, if you're paying attention, it's clearly

pretty coordinated. So we should listen to what, right. So we should listen to what Schwab says on that front. But Schwab also says, and he said this also last year, that there's going to be a new cyber pandemic, a pandemic of cyber attacks, i.e. multiple cascading cyber attacks that are going to make COVID look like nothing. I'm paraphrasing. And he said this in last July for the first time, and that was when the World Economic Forum was hosting a simulation called Cyber Polygon, which was in 2020, but they're going to be repeating it this year as well, apparently also in July. Their main partner is a subsidiary of Russia's largest bank, Sperbank, that just put out Spercoin, their bank-backed stable coin. So they definitely

stand to benefit from chaos in the financial system, which is specifically what a lot of the stuff that the WEF is talking about focuses on. It focuses on cyber attacks taking down the financial system, but not at first about these cascading cyber attacks going around different sectors and eventually collapsing the financial system that's the narrative um they've set up and they have a bunch of different bodies involved in this and gaming this out so they have cyber poly on i already mentioned which is the world economic forum uh you have another world economic uh forum cyber initiative with the carnegie endowment for peace uh or for international peace talking about how the only way to prevent this alleged imminent cyber attack that's going

going to collapse the financial system is to merge private banks, Wall Street banks with the people supposedly responsible for regulating them in the government. So public-private cooperation partnership, like the WEF loves to promote, but they say they go even further and they say, combine those two. Once you've used those twos, merge them with intelligence agencies. So intelligence agencies have access to all the data. And so they can find the cyber attackers right away. So they're basically saying, let's combine JP Morgan with the SEC and the CIA and merge it all together. And that's going to solve the problem. But it's obviously, you know, this is already in the card. So this is going to be the solution they pitch when this cyber attack takes

place. And what's important here is that this WEF Carnegie thing isn't just those two groups gaming it out. You have the Federal Reserve is involved in writing this document. You have the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, FSISAC, which is basically all the chief information security officers of the biggest private banks and insurance companies in the United States involved in this. You have the Bank of England. You have central banks in other countries involved. You have SWIFT involved. I mean, a lot of the big players are involved with this, and that should be really alarming. And that report came out last November, warning of this imminent wave of cyber attacks. A month later, you have SolarWinds, which was not actually

investigated. The people that discovered SolarWinds was the CIA firm called, cybersecurity firm called FireEye. FireEye actually had to come out and issue a statement on their website trying to distance themselves from the CIA, because even mainstream media talked about how closely they work with the CIA and they were seeded and only really exist because of In-Q-Tel funding and all of this stuff. And then you have intelligence agencies, the same intelligence agencies that backfire, saying, oh, it was likely Russian in origin, but they never provide evidence to that fact. And then that just becomes the mainstream narrative like that and runs through. And I actually did a report for those that are interested to go and see it, that one of the most likely

culprits of the SolarWinds hack was actually, you can tie it back to Isabel Maxwell, Delaine Maxwell sister through a couple different networks, and basically the network that she is steeped in, which is sort of this, I guess, struggling to think of the right words to describe it. It's sort of like a nexus between Silicon Valley and Israel's cyber intelligence apparatus, because basically Israel's tech sector, the private tech sector and its military intelligence uh cyber units are essentially fused and even israeli media and officials admit this so this isn't like conjecture on on my part and you have uh neocon billionaires like paul singer uh who were ultra zionist basically saying that it uh funding and making it policy to have a lot

of these big silicon valley companies hire all these ex unit 8200 guys from israel as a way to ever prevent, uh, you, the people in the United States from meaningly adopting the boycott to best sanctions movement, um, in support of Palestine. So, um, there's a lot of really crazy stuff just going on in, in the tech sector in general, but, you know, SolarWinds wasn't meaningly investigated. Um, I'd encourage you to go compare the intelligence community statement of likely Russian in origin with no evidence in my article and reach your own conclusions. because I actually provide sources. But, you know, and then aside from that,

we have this recent thing with the Colonial Pipeline hack, which is really interesting because not long before this hack, Colonial was under federal investigation for what is likely to be recognized as the worst pipeline spill in the United States ever.

It got very little mainstream attention, really a blackout of it. I only really know of a cop, really one person, independent media that covered it, covered it himself. I might be mispronouncing his last name, Robbie Jager, I think is his last name. But no one was covering that. And then all of a sudden, in Huntersville, North Carolina is where the spill was. Mm hmm. And their water tables contaminated. I mean, obviously, Colonial was on the hooks for they were going to have to do some sort of payout, probably. Well, maybe not because of the mainstream media blackout. It's hard to know if you have no public outrage. You know, they get away with more, generally speaking. But apparently they paid the ransom. It's come out now they paid the ransom, but kept the pipeline shut down, even though the pipeline was still working because they were concerned they wouldn't be able to bill people appropriately. After the fact, that sounds to me like

they were holding the Southeast hostage because they supply half of the fuel for the East Coast. So if the federal investigators are going to hit them with a big fine for their big spill and they're like, well, look how badly you need us. You sure you really want to fine us this much and all that stuff? I mean, these type of mafia tactics is the reality of how the power structure in the U.S. works and not just the U.S., a lot of other countries. So, you know, the fact that they didn't open the pipeline right away and they were creating shortages and, you know, states of emergencies were declared and they they could have opened the pipeline but chose not to. That's problematic and says that there's a lot more going on to the story.

And then what do you know? The main firms that come out to speak for the hackers, this dark side group, um, allegedly responsible for this hack. One is called Intel 471. Uh, if you go to their website and you go to their leadership page, you will see that their top three executives are all ex-FireEye, uh, but they're citing it like it's a different group, um, but still CIA backed, big surprise. Um, and, um, the other, the other one is Cyber Reason, who I did a whole series about last year, because Cyber Reason is an admitted Unit 8200 front company. Their CEO, Lior Div, says that Cyber Reason, which he co-founded, is a continuation of his service in Unit 8200, where he held a really high-level position. And he, by the way, when he was in Unit

8200, was responsible for offensive nation-state hacking. So Israel offensively targeting other nation-states for hacks. That's what this guy was doing. And so he says this company is a continuation of that. In 2019, they simulated the end of U.S. democracy taking place during the 2020 election with a bunch of really shady people in the U.S. government. That's a little weird. They're also very much embedded in the military networks now through their partnership with Lockheed Martin. That partnership came to fruition after Lockheed Martin was hacked, But no one, no information was leaked. So I guess they paid off the hackers and then they set up a office right in the center of

where the unit 8200 high tech hub is open Lockheed Martin Israel, which doesn't make weapons. It makes IT infrastructure. And they partnered with Cyber Reason, put Cyber Reason stuff in all of their products and then merged with Leidos, not Lockheed Martin, Lockheed Martin's IT division I'm talking about, merged with Leidos, which is the largest provider of IT services to the U.S. government. Um, so that's pretty scandalous. And they're, uh, you know, they, they just hire, well, last year

they hired some ex Booz Allen Hamilton guy to get, uh, even more, uh, of a foothold in the U S public sector. Uh, very alarming. So anyway, that's the company that's saying, um, that dark side is apolitical that statement allegedly found of the hackers on the dark web, uh, was found by cyber reason people and so you know like i was saying all the pieces that we know about the official narrative of these hacks are coming from intelligence agencies from one of two countries generally so um do you really want to trust those guys i mean everyone else apparently seems to be which is not good yeah it's weird because there's conflicting narratives too because you have that one where it's like we're in a political gray gray hat collective and we basically license out

our ransomware software to hackers we deem as um honorable i guess is the word you could say and then you have biden coming out already blaming it on russia but just going back to cyber attack narrative in general like you mentioned a lot of central so just from observation that i've caught um personally over the last six months started with uh augustin karsten's bank of international settlements he started pushing like central bank digital currencies and saying like we can't have bitcoin succeed christine lagarde saying we need cbdc's people actually don't like privacy when they transact they want to know that a government and christine knows doesn't she she knows what the people want it's not like she's a you know a tyrannical

well yeah okay we can use that word then uh and then 60 minutes a month ago month and a half ago jerome powell um chairman of the federal reserve asked if he's worried about credit risk or inflation running hot he said no i'm not worried about that i'm worried about cyber attacks on the financial system and then obviously we have this stuff so it's like and so i was discussing this yesterday on the podcast we do weekly with my co-host matt o'dell rabbit hole recap and he brought up a good point like this is just confirmation bias so we just like people have been saying cyber attack cyber attack cyber attacks for years and now people are just like noticing and confirming biases that are in their heads? You know, I don't really know if that's

the case, because basically to consider all of this in the context of something I wrote about last year with the National Security Commission on AI, which is basically a fusing of Silicon Valley and intelligence agencies. But, you know, in practice, Silicon Valley and intelligence agencies are already fused and really have been for a long time. That particular organization chaired by Eric Schmidt, who's also very cozy with the Democrats, among other political groups, basically put out this report saying what in 2019, before COVID, that basically life in the U.S. had to be completely remade in order for the U.S. to be able to be an economic and military hegemon uh for the rest of the century and challenge china's dominance and this all had

to do with ai so they were basically arguing that u.s will use military lose um military and economic hegemony unless um sorry a little sick so forgetting what i'm talking about okay so um that they'll lose hegemony unless they develop a better ai um ai algorithms than china and they say China already has a head start because China has a bigger population. That population is heavily surveilled and uses smartphones for everything, whereas the U.S. does not. So something needed to change so that the U.S. establishment, Silicon Valley, whatever, and obviously this benefits the intelligence community as well, can harvest more data per American citizen than China is currently harvesting per Chinese citizen. And this is in 2019, okay? So

what we've seen under, you know, with COVID has been this push towards making everything virtual and in the digital realm, teleworking, telemedicine, whatever. I mean, it should be really obvious to everyone by now. All of this is intended to be permanent. If you read what the oligarchs and the think tanks they fund and whatever are saying, this is all intended to be permanent. This is a part of something called the fourth industrial revolution, which seeks to usher in a mass age of automation, which obviously would lead to a huge, massive loss of jobs. And people, American workers have known this was coming for a long time. So how do you manufacture consent for all the jobs going away? How do you manufacture consent from cash money suddenly becoming a

digital thing on your wallet, you know, for the regular person that doesn't know anything about digital currencies or cryptocurrencies or whatever? How do you manufacture consent for these monumental societal shifts that the Silicon Valley and the intelligence community and also the military were all saying was necessary to ensure that U.S. is the, you know, the hegemon for the next, I don't know how many hundred years or whatever. You have to keep in mind the U.S. power establishment, all they care about is being the hegemon, being number one in military might and in economic might. Everything else they don't give a shit about. So if they think they're going to lose it, they're going to do everything they can to prevent that from happening. I think that

should be pretty clear if you followed, you know, just U.S. politics in general, that basically the bottom line is economic hegemony and military hegemony. That's really all they care about at the end of the day. So, I mean, so the cyber attacks, what do they accomplish? They're targeting and they lay this out like the World Economic Forum, another group of theirs, the Partnership significant cybercrime that they have basically says that this stuff is, and also the FSISAC issued a report a couple months ago to that private information sharing thing between all the banks, that it's going to be cascading cyber attacks by sector, different sectors are going to get taken down. And that's basically going to be used to, oh, the old system is fragile and failing,

not just in this sector, but across sectors. So we must remake all the sectors, right? And so obviously, energy, you know, you have a pipeline being targeted. Obviously, energy is something that we've known for a long time that they plan to totally remake. Banking is another one. You know, and medicine is one that they're already well underway in doing. You know, there's actually this push now to not ever have you see a doctor in person ever again, and to have everything be about health wearables that, you know, detect all your biometric data in real time and send it off somewhere and predict if you'll have a disease before you show symptoms and all of this this is where uh the train is going and they've been really open about it and it's becoming they're

becoming more open about it with time so you know they have been seeding it and saying this is going to happen this is going to happen this is going to happen but i would argue it's really more predictive programming so that you see those events as a cyber attack and not see them as coordinated push to basically remake the world the way the oligarchs want. Because, I mean, if you think about things, before COVID, a lot of people-driven movements in countries around the world were starting to really put pressure on the oligarchy. You had the Yellow Vest in France, you had massive protests in Chile, and it was numerous other countries, Haiti as well, having big uprisings against their government. A lot of stuff was starting to shift. And if you

think about it, if you're at the top of this predator class, you have to think about, I mean, these people have been thinking about how can we maintain the status quo indefinitely and continue to make inequality worse and continue to take all the wealth for ourselves and all the resources for ourselves, why people get, regular people get smaller and smaller pieces of the pie that will obviously create unrest. How do we maintain the status quo forever without having to deal with dissent anymore um and stuff like that i mean that's why these people meet at shit like bilderberg and all these things and davos because they talk about this stuff um because they're interested in protecting their power at the expense of everyone else's um because these people not all

of them maybe but a lot of them sort of yearn for you know feudalism of the medieval era um and basically want to create a neo-feudal society powered by tech where they use ai and tech to control the people um in a way that they couldn't do it um you know before with police or or things like that um and they can only really do that in this technocratic system they're setting up yeah i mean they're cattle herding us into a digital panoptic exactly there's some sadism behind it like it's sadistic to a point where like hey we're gonna make you eat bugs too you're gonna be eating larvae well they don't really view us as people i mean they're pretty you know um sometimes comments come out about how the elite feel about the little people and it's usually not

very good you know um a lot of them well you know prince philip right he recently died in in the uk uh said that a few years ago he wanted if he dies he wants to come back as a killer virus to kill a bunch of people and lower the world's population he said what a nice guy yeah yeah oh yeah holy shit yeah it was it wasn't right before he died i mean it was several years ago um he just happened to have died recently so you may have seen his name in the news if you're not aware that he was a a wrinkly gross looking member of the royal family um yeah but yeah i mean that's the kind of stuff these people say that's how they view us you know this whole thing eating insects eating i mean they probably think that's funny honestly um they probably get a kick out of it it wouldn't

surprise me they're not planning to do all that stuff for them you know they're not planning to eat all this gm stuff uh themselves and that's why they have this huge seed vault in norway backed by Gates and other oligarchs that are non-GMO seeds for them. But Bill Gates likes to go around and say everyone else should have GMO stuff. Before a lot of people started paying attention to Bill Gates and before COVID, he was one of the big evangelists for GMO foods and Monsanto. And now people are like, oh yeah, the Monsanto evangelist cares about public health. you know i mean it's just crazy um now he's buying up all the farmland yeah yeah well you know that's also buying up the water as well because a lot of the farmland sits on uh aquifer at least in the

middle america there's this huge aquifer in nebraska and so these states around it have that too and so he's buying up the water as well um and this is all intentional because a lot of these groups and this includes gates who's in this rockefeller orbit henry kissinger is a big guy there. And Eric Schmidt, who was heading up this National Security Commission, has been called the second Kissinger. These guys love Kissinger. Kissinger is really well known for people that study this sort of stuff for when he was Secretary of State and he wrote this National Security Directive about how growth of the population in different countries were a threat to U.S. national security. Like the Global South, population growth in Latin America and Africa

was a threat to U.S. national security, made that U.S. policy. It's technically still U.S. policy because there's no evidence they ever revoked that directive. And he talked about in there as using food as a weapon to subjugate people. All right. So, I mean, essential goods, essential things you need to survive, food and water, all that stuff. I mean, they plan to use that to their advantage and to think they want to do it. Yeah, totally. And, you know, I think they want to create a much more desperate situation in the U.S. They've already talked about the big way they want to combat vaccine hesitancies to tie it to government assistance. But the more people you can get on government assistance than before, you know, you'll have more people being dependent on

the state and doing whatever they want and being, you know, units of data to be harvested. So we beat China and all this stuff. You know, it's the vaccine pushing peddling from the politicians been really creepy, like de Blasio eating fries. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's just starting off. I'm just going to be real about that. Some people are like, oh, look how crazy it's gotten. This must be Pete crazy. It's not. So basically, if you look back in 2020, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security put out a policy, a couple different policy documents about COVID-19 vaccination policy before any of them were approved. And several people on their co-authors ended up being on Biden's COVID task force on his transition team, influencing a lot of staff

appointees and things like that later put into the Biden administration. One of these people, by the way, that I'm talking about that sort of was involved in these papers and then in with the Biden task force is this woman named Luciana Borio, who actually works for the CIA for In-Q-Tel right now. And basically, you know, um, one of these documents that posted this on Twitter, um, when I found it, uh, several months ago, um, talked about tying, uh, vaccination to state assistance of food stamps, um, into other forms of state assistance in the longterm and all this stuff like, uh, food incentives, um, and, you know, free stuff and all of it, it was all ganged out in there, um, trying to, uh, counter, uh, vaccine hesitancy in minority communities by

setting up vaccine centers and barbershops and all of this stuff all in these policy documents from from last year and they've been you know doing them piece by piece and they're i think they're encountering more hesitancy than they expected so you know they're going along uh the policy paper if you want to see the roadmap for how crazy things are going to get on that front go back and read those well i was at dinner with my wife last night she was mentioning that they're giving out johnson johnson shots in the new york subways now like which i don't know that's weird i'm not able to confirm that but she heard that through the grape i was like what the fuck like no and it's incredibly creepy a shot and i'm like yeah get the shot you'll get a free beer that was in

the pa area uh you'll get free shake shack they're giving out million dollar lotteries in ohio for people get it yeah mike dewine who's uh leslie wexner's little like bitch man that runs ohio uh it's really crazy um yeah so um that's that is really telling i think that they're willing um as compared to every other health care initiative uh in the u.s ever um the powers that be are willing to spend tons of money millions and millions and millions of dollars to convince people to take this thing when it's on a much, you know, shorter regulatory framework than all previous vaccines. And, you know, there's been a huge suppression of scientists, even from within the system, who don't disagree and things like that. There's definitely a lot

of things that are really unprecedented about this particular life-saving vaccine that are, you know uh very propagandistic in the way it's being sold i mean for example bill mayor the the tv comedian fully vaccinated it just came out that he bought mar sorry i whatever i because i actually have something to add about there's something else that happened on bill maher's show that i want to bring up to you as well okay sure yeah well he apparently uh tested positive recently after being fully vaccinated and he's asymptomatic okay so you get vaccinated, you still asymptomatically spread the virus. Okay. So what is the point? Supposedly the point is that you have less severe symptoms if you do contract COVID and you're less likely

to get hospitalized and die. This is the official narrative, but then why are you mandating it for kids that are like 12 to 15 years old now when they have pretty much zero risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID if that's the only official benefit of the COVID-19 vaccine. I think a lot of people are taking it because they're afraid. The fear porn was too much. They think this is the only way out. It's not. And that's going to be an unfortunate discovery for people that were motivated to do it for them, the people that took it because they thought they'd be able to travel. Well, there's a lot of people that did that in the UK. And then it turns out you can only travel to Portugal Gibraltar and a bunch of islands no one visits anyway in Israel which is uh you know

uh basically trying to annihilate Gaza right now and uh who wants to travel there right now great vacation spot so you know okay so all the people that were like I want to go on a vacation this summer and only got it for that are like oh shit I can't really go anywhere still yeah it's it's scary I mean I'm up in the Philadelphia area and I mean my family a lot of my family not all my family would have called it hook line and sinker like they literally think they get the vaccine they can get back to normal it's like this is not how this works and again forcing it on children like so I'm like very vocal like I'm not getting the vaccine yeah yeah 29 I am a healthy young man I like to think I'm not maybe I'm not as young as I think I am but

statistically going to the CDC website looking at the probability of death if I do contract it like I'm not gonna risk yeah and the CDC is no longer recording breakthrough infections from the vaccination so if you're vaccinated and you get COVID-19 after being vaccinated against it allegedly the CDC no longer records that information that's a little weird uh for an agency that was desperate to diagnose everyone with the thing um not that long ago so it's a little weird it's almost like they don't um really care about the virus it's more about this whole carrot and stick approach um you know and and that lady that that lady on cnn that went on and was really controversial the um i think she works uh advises the gates foundation the the chinese

doctor i can't remember her name but she you know she basically went on and was like there needs to be a carrot stick approach that you get the vaccine, you go back to normal. But like we were talking about earlier, that carrot stick approach is not just going to be used for the vaccine. It's going to be used for a lot of other stuff because they want a lot of things across sectors to change in the U S and they plan to do that. And it's going to be a coercion as far as they can take it until they get enough people on board. So this is shifting from like COVID to energy this is something i've been focusing on and so outside of this podcast and my newsletter i work for a company great american mining we use natural gas that would otherwise be flared

to mine bitcoin and so just the nature of that job has really forced me to do a lot of research into the energy industry particularly how energy is produced and delivered to market and how grids work and so i've been falling down the the grid infrastructure rabbit hole and the climate hysterics the climate emergency the climate emergency is just another carrot stick to to force us to unreliable grid systems right and nothing yeah makes this more clear to me than the decommissioning of nuclear power plants across the country which is well it's not it's not just that so there's a lot of stuff um um going on here so one thing is that um the world Economic Forum and these guys when we talk about the fourth industrial revolution and creating

a greener society and more sustainable, sustainable capitalism, inclusive capitalism, all this stuff they try and talk about. If you actually look at the kind of society they want to create by 2030, it's not going to be greener. All of this stuff that is going to run on AI and all of this surveillance crap, all this data mining requires more and more data centers to be built. It requires bumping way up the amount of lithium mining, nickel mining, all the stuff that's used to make these batteries and electric cars, and a lot of this other like high-tech stuff. And that's why we're seeing a lot of unrest, particularly in the countries in South America, along the Andes, where all the copper and all the minerals are, and also in Africa.

You know, there's been like six governments toppled, six presidents removed in the past year, four of them died of heart attacks. Yeah. Four of them died of heart attacks, sudden heart attacks, you know, after criticizing the COVID stuff, which is pretty crazy. I wrote about Tanzania specifically a couple of months ago. And in January, they reopened a mine that they had the world's largest developable nickel mine that they'd taken, that the Tanzanian government had nationalized and taken from Glencore and Barrett Gold, and they reopened it as a quasi-nationalized project in January. And a month later, the guy disappears for three weeks, and then he, at the end of that lengthy disappearance, dies of a sudden heart attack.

And, you know, and then the lady that replaces him is like, you know, has attended World Economic Forum meetings, used to work for the UN and all of this stuff, and has signaled a big turnaround on a lot of things. But this guy, the Tanzania guy, you know, he was, people described him as being anti-COVID, but he was really anti a lot of stuff. He kicked out a GMO trial funded by like Bayer Monsanto and Bill Gates a couple of years ago. He kicked out big multinational oil and gas companies. You know, he was kind of similar in a lot of ways to Evo Morales of Bolivia, who got Elon Musk lithium cooed in 2019, right? What's that? He got lithium cooed? Well, so the lithium mines in Bolivia, it's some of the whole lithium triangle,

which is Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia. Bolivia has most of it, are really critical to this whole infrastructure they're trying to set up. And so there's basically this huge proxy war thing going on around the world for the raw materials to build up this new system. So it's not proxy wars necessarily for oil and gas anymore. It's proxy wars for rare earth minerals and lithium and nickel and graphite and a lot of the stuff that this technology requires. So in Bolivia at the end of 2019, there was a coup that was backed by the U.S. government and the Organization of American States was just dominated by the U.S. anyway. It was illegitimate, but Evo Morales was forced out. And one of the reasons for that is because he had nationalized a lithium mine that

the U.S. wanted, and they've done so in coordination with a Chinese company. So obviously the competitor to the U.S. going into business with Bolivia, getting the raw materials they want. And then you, of course, have Elon Musk, his infamous tweet a few months later, saying, we'll coup whoever we want, after it came out that the coup government in Bolivia was trying to negotiate um deals for that lithium mine to basically all that mined lithium to end up in in elon musk's hands so i mean that's pretty fucking scandalous um you tweeted that we'll whoever we want yeah like yeah i'm surprised you did not see that yeah so you know this is the cool rogue billionaire um who smokes pot on joe rogan and you know basically saying it's okay to

overthrow governments and making you know bolivians lives miserable so that elon musk can get the lithium so it doesn't go to bolivia in in china i mean that's fucking wild but this is going on all over the world i want to be really clear about that yeah and well so this like so this leads me like this leads me to believe that like bitcoin is the strongest tool we have against this impending digital panopticon and uh it seems like the kleptocratic elite that we always talk about are throwing their weight at bitcoin now uh in a way where it seems like they're threatened by it and like elon playing a part of that so like they're attacking multiple angles right now like ransomware it contributes to cyber attacks

mining takes up a lot of electricity sorry i'm gonna destroy the environment so we need to stop the mining and and you can see they're pulling out all the stops like again bill maher i brought that up because they had uh chris krebs who was trump's cyber security guy go on yeah he's ex microsoft uh top guy at microsoft for government microsoft relations he didn't work for trump he work for microsoft well he was poo-pooing um bitcoin and cryptocurrency because of ransom now you have elon public night or two nights ago i'm being like we need to stop the bitcoin mining and it's all that's what i want he says he wants to stop the bitcoin mining but this guy is all about exploitative mining to make the batteries for his cars and all of this shit i mean he's

the biggest hypocrite on the fucking planet and um let's jump into this you tweeted out last night like the carbon credit game it's all scam like it like that's the thing yeah the logical inconsistencies of the climate emergency crew and the hysterics that are pushing us towards these unreliable energy sources like in elon and tesla getting insane subsidies but their technology is not really green at the end of the day as you're describing they have to go get these rare the electric cars plug into uh the charging stations that are run on coal natural gas like it's all and actually the world economic forum and all these guys want to bring back nuclear power for those that think nuclear power is dirty and dangerous and want to get rid of it um they're

planning to bring it back because they know that all these data centers and all this they want to set up they can't do it without a lot more power than they actually have right now um so i mean this is just huge hypocrisy the fact that most people um most politicians and talking heads on tv think the main solution to climate change is carbon markets tells you they're full of shit there is a major environmental catastrophe globally but it's not carbon it's uh the pollution i mean pollution put out by by corporations and governments uh the u.s military being uh the world's largest polluter by the way um you know this stuff is a major problem so we can't say there's no environmental threats. Okay. They definitely are. There are extinction issue,

but I would argue it's pollution, not carbon. If carbon was the issue, the solution would be to plant trees everywhere or something like that. And these guys don't want to do that at all. They want to make carbon markets, which is obviously just another, I almost swore because it just makes me really mad. It's another casino for these guys. You know, they want to collapse the fiat casino um and they're going to open the carbon rationing carbon market uh casino and elon musk has already gotten rich off of the um pro the the precursor to this system um by by giving these these credits uh to different companies and all this stuff because he's supposedly green um and and all of this crap i mean it's uh yeah and so this is funny that we're

having this conversation because last night i recorded a podcast and um we we don't really into this stuff like the client is there a climate emergency and there's no and so i have to clarify this for the freaks like we got thought about overnight and now that we're having this discussion like try to separate like what's going on no i don't think like burning fossil fuels and sending carbon into the atmosphere is going to create a climate on earth where you're having like crazy super tornadoes and the hurricanes that destroy the earth that way but the expansion of the military industrial complex and the fiat monetary system that allows people to go print money ex nihilo and then go spend it to extract stuff that is bad for the environment

you're dirtying water you're extracting rare earth metal metals that may otherwise not need to be extracted from the earth um due to these perverse incentives so like yeah like you want to conserve all these resources and replenish them that's the other thing like the subsidies but corn specifically creates like a monoculture and you ruin the topsoil and you can't you can't like you can't replenish sorry i'm coughing so much i i there's a really good example to uh how these guys are so full of shit there is an effort right now to mine the indian mountains of patagonia in chile which is where uh a bunch of the world's remaining fresh water supply happens to be uh, as well, uh, and also stored in glaciers and things like this. It's a, a very, Patagonia is

very famous for its natural beauty. It's protected and all of this stuff. Well, Chile at the end of the day is a big mining economy. The North of Chile is where most of the mining happens in the Atacama desert region. Atacama in the indigenous Amara language actually means tangled roots because at some point, uh, before, you know, 18, whatever, uh, it was actually forested it wasn't the world's driest desert it is now uh for there were a couple exploitative things that happened mining being one of them the other one being a salitre i don't know the name in english sorry but it was like a fertilizer exported abroad they basically sent all the top soil of northern chile abroad uh to europe and in the united states yeah the the bat the

ammonia rich like the uh uh i believe i don't remember its composition but it was something like that it was it was marketed as a fertilizer but basically eroded the top soil and then you have the mining. And so now it's the world's driest desert. People that live in the North can't even drink the tap water or shower in it, but some of them have to because they don't have a choice. It's full of arsenic and a bunch of other poisonous stuff. They can't drink it or consume it anymore. And so they rely off of bottled water exclusively. So they basically want to bring these mines whose finite supplies of copper and different minerals are running out. They've discovered all these things in the South. They're going to move it to the South. And they're

doing all this with the support of the same global entities who all back sebastian pinera who's the governor the the president of chile who's gaming to do this they're all backing this shit because they want the minerals it's not about let's preserve nature and all of this shit uh because they're going to a place they want to go to a place that's pristine and they want to take the land and they want to mine it you know i mean it's just um super full of shit but the problem is is that people have associated certain uh fronts spokespeople for these people as legitimately caring about the environment um when their constructs a lot of times in the case of greta thunberg um or they uh yeah so if if the world isn't under the oceans in 10 years what

what are you going to do like she she gave us a 12-year warning two years ago well this is the problem with focusing all on carbon and not focusing on other environmental issues you know we're going to run into major other environmental issues that everyone's totally ignoring. What about fracking in the U.S.? How it's totally destroyed the water supply in Pennsylvania and a bunch of other states and stuff like that. You know, I mean, no one hears about fracking anymore, but it's still going on and still causing major environmental damage. We're all being told carbon is bad. I would argue the whole carbon narrative was dreamt up because it wanted the intention was to have regular people feel like this is all their fault instead of the fault of

governments and predatory corporations uh that pollute with impunity around the world and they want they want to put the blame on the regular guy and make the regular guy uh restrict uh their how they live their lives even more why these people have multiple homes and will continue to do so um you know and fly all over the world in private jets while they're telling us you know we have to eat worm food um and cockroaches and stuff i mean it's obvious hypocrisy um and you know it's very clear that they have a vision for the future that involves uh our standard of living getting significantly worse while theirs either stays the same or gets significantly better um you know it's uh it's a recipe for neo-feudalism it's really disconcerting uh disconcerting it is disclaimer

i benefit from fracking again we use gas that that's produced by by fracking and i think people in the oil industry would push back and say the the water contamination stuff is a bit uh we're gonna have to disagree there um i don't well i'm actually not an expert on the water to contamination side of it so i can't speak eloquently on it well the problem is is is how they drill the wells and how they seal them when they frack and a lot of these companies like halliburton for example you know dick cheney's old old company um you know they operate with impunity so they don't really care if they seal it well or not and so if it seeps into the water table it's really problematic and um you know uh we can agree to disagree on that but i

definitely think there is a if fracking causes a significant damage in the places where it happens that's my opinion but no i mean that's another thing bitcoin bitcoin mining actually incentivizes vertical drilling again because you can get actually get more gas and be more efficient with it over time well i mean so basically what what what the point is is that the existing system fossil fuels is exploitative it does cause environmental damage but i don't think the issue is necessarily carbon and i think these guys want to move to a model that would be equally if not more environmentally environmentally destructive they need to be called out on it exactly i mean that's basically what it comes comes down to i'm not going to say the current system's good because

i don't think it is and i think a lot of these current systems that the that these guys are targeting to take down uh are messed up and corrupt and need to be remade but they're the ones that want to remake it and we have to prevent that from happening um and we have to come up with alternatives and you know that we can use instead to these different things well yeah we we need to take the decision making away from these people so again i hate to keep bringing this back to bitcoin it's a bitcoin podcast but that this is like it's fine i expect that here don't worry look at all it all comes back to the money right and the ability to anything there and just push it wherever you want to go and so um i strongly believe that we need to

focus on bringing something like bitcoin to the world then fixing all these external problems that we're discussing right now will emanate from the fact that they cannot control the money supply right well you know i i think you know there's a lot of different people who have a lot of different opinions about solutions but what matters is that people are getting out there and they're actually trying to change something, you know, um, it's one thing to sit back on your keyboard and shit on everyone else's solutions all day long. Cause you don't agree with them and then do nothing yourself. I mean, what really, what people need to be doing is trying what they think would be best. Even if like person X, Y, and Z is going to disagree with you. We're not

like what you're doing. You know, if you're convinced that you can make a positive impact and stop this nightmare, um, from being crystallized and imposed upon us, um, you know, why not? I don't, you know, I mean, obviously we have to start being, the people that want to resist this have to start being solution focused and start taking initiatives and not just passively waiting for stuff to fall in your lap. The people that want to wait for stuff to fall in their lap are going to be the people that are going to end up depending on state assistance and literally have no sovereignty even over their own bodies anymore about what you have to do in order to continue to receive that assistance and you know it's an end to sovereignty essentially so if you

want to continue being you know having autonomy over your life and and your body um it's it's time to start doing something people are obviously going to disagree um on what the best course of action is but i think you know why not let people try whatever they think will work i completely agree and it's it's like on like the body side they want to control your body and then like if control your money is digital wild so literally be able to like airdrop money in your bank account say hey here's your money here's your ubi you can only spend it here here and here you can only eat high fructose yeah and now they're having it with expiration dates the digital yuan right has an expiration date and even though oh bad china uh the i think it was the bank of england uh developing

brit coin was talking about oh well we actually like the expiration date idea of course they do Because it prevents people from saving their wealth, having any say over their own wealth, and they're forced to spend whenever the government wants you to spend. It's the dream of the technocrats, but it's a nightmare for everyone else. no i agree and it's and again it's like the it in and incentivizes conspicuous consumption and over consumption and the production of consumption goods that that completely destroy the environment and misallocate capital like that's again like bitcoin it fixes this on so many levels right like if you have a sound monetary system you only invest in so many things and you're only going to invest in things like you're you're not going to be able to destroy the world um the environment uh the trees the topsoil at the rate at which it's happening now because you're going

to have more efficient capital allocation play out it's yeah it is but they didn't want you on that hamster wheel they're trying to they're trying hard to to push people into this panopticon but I'm, am I wrong to be optimistic? Like the last year, I think people, I mean, a lot of people obviously are docile, but here in the United States, particularly you're seeing some competition between States. Like you're seeing Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Wyoming, South Dakota sort of stand up and be like, Hey, we don't, we don't want to like force people to do anything they want to do. Yeah. Uh, you know, and at the end of the day though, I think federal governments, like people that want to leave the U S and go to Mexico because the Mexican president is anti COVID or something.

So, like, in that case, recently the president of Mexico was like, oh, the U.S. is trying to coup me. Okay, big surprise. So, you know, federal governments, and I also think state governments, are really susceptible to regime change, even if it's a state government in the U.S., if there's someone that's not playing the rules and they want it to. I mean, the people that are in charge of the federal government of the US have lots of ways of bringing states back under their thumb. And that includes also the fact that the Supreme Court of the US is full of corrupt, nasty judges. You know, I'm not a big fan of their lineup, so in their policies. So, you know, that's basically a recipe to throw state rights to the wind if they want it to be. And they have majorities in both houses. So what I think it comes down to at the end of the day isn't necessarily about the state government, the federal government or the national government, wherever you live. It's about local communities. If you can build a local resistant community to weather the storm and start producing a lot of your basic needs and cut out the middlemen that are tied to this cabal, whatever you want to call them, as much as possible. that's really the only recipe for success as I see it anymore. Because if you're going to be like, oh, well, my state governor is not being an asshole right now. Well, there could be an election soon or that something could happen and he could be forced out. Some sort of blackmail on him could surface and off he goes. You know, it's happened before and it could happen again. So it's

best to be as local as possible and as decentralized as possible. That's that's my view. you're speaking of this stuff winter words right now we refer to citadels you need to build your citadel that is autonomous and and we need to yeah but that's not just true for financial stuff and bitcoin stuff i mean that's true in the real world too yeah like bitcoiners have have dreams of like buying plots of land with the water and building strong towns and right right but you know you can think of yourself as like you know oh i can do this and my family can do this but you're really better off finding like-minded people and building a community with them because i mean the the stuff that's coming i mean people are going to need to lean on each other a little bit it's

going to get really crazy um i mean we're just at the start of this whole thing these guys want to have this kind of chaos and instability get progressively worse between now and 2030 when they hope that they can implement all the stuff that they um wish to implement so survive to 2030 i feel like everybody pushing this stuff is like 80 years old yeah but they also you know well they're convinced a lot of these guys are like also avid transhumanists and think that technology will soon be at a point where they're going to live together live forever um that's why peter thiel is like obsessed with young people's blood and uh you know these people people at that same level of the oligarchy are like uh yeah i can't wait to upload my brain into the cloud and live

forever and all of this stuff. I mean, a lot of them are obsessed with immortality and staying young forever or never dying and all of this stuff. So I don't know. Um, we'll see how it pans out. I actually think the reason that, um, a lot of things are not working out for the elite in this big plan, even if it may look to us like, um, resistance is small or whatever we have to keep in mind that social media algorithms manipulate what we see. TV manipulates what we see. And even people like me, when I do reports, I have to depend on a lot of those sources for what I do when trying to read between the lines, right? So a lot of the positive stories of people waking up and rising up, I mean, a lot of it we don't hear about. So that's one thing. On the

other side, I really think that these guys really thought artificial intelligence and a lot of these technologies that they're depending on to control everyone are not as developed as they need them to be. And that's why they're saying now that these lockdowns are going to go on forever. First, it was lockdowns for COVID. Now they're saying it's lockdowns for climate change. Yes, it's been in mainstream media. The Guardian put that out not long after Bill Gates started doing his climate book tour. So, you know, keeping people locked down allows them to build up this infrastructure, why no one's around and keep people from moving and seeing what's going on and having people glued to the screen where the information they're getting about what's going on

in the world is being stovepiped to them through all these, through social media, mainstream media, whatever. If their AI system was working the way they need it to work, they wouldn't need to do that indefinitely for several years. So if you look to examples about AI, for example, where they've tried to make like a singularity style self-aware AI. It's always backfired and gone super wrong. One example, Microsoft put out an AI chat bot that was supposed to be able to simulate a real human conversation, convince you it was human. It became a neo-Nazi in like less than 24 hours and basically was being like poll on 4chan the whole time. So, you know, if you're going to feed your ai with data because you're so desperate to be like the leader in the new ai era and you're

feeding it with low quality data like hitler memes and cat memes and cat videos on youtube and stuff your ai is going to be dumb as fuck sorry it's not going to work out well and i think they're realizing that that they're just so desperate data is the new oil right as they've been saying for a couple years they're hoarding as much data as possible but a lot of that data isn't filtered isn't quality checked so they're training their ai on a bunch of just dumb shit i mean the internet is full of dumb shit there's obviously important information on the internet but uh some of it's really dumb so you know when you mix when you throw it all into ai and you're like ai becomes something it's going to be what you know it's like the analogy for people you are what you eat i mean

it's the same thing with ai and data so it's sort of ironic and i'm sorry if there's background noise i think somebody started power washing uh next door to me all right i keep coughing because i'm sick so fine but it is hilarious it's almost ironic because they dumb down and try to make like a docile society and they're and they want to use that data to feed their super intelligent ai they're going to get a super dumb ai i mean these people are idiots yeah so i think they're not going to ever be able to get ai where they want it to be it's always going to fuck up and even now um some of the companies that are pitching or actually using ai to predict covid outbreaks before they happen on the, on a community level, their own documents, not independently reviewed,

the company's own PR documents say it has an accuracy of 79%. That is 73%. That is low. That is low. That has a huge margin for error, 73% accuracy. You're going to have everything run on this stuff. And that's like, it's probably way lower. Cause like I said, that's the company's claim, not even the, it hasn't been independently reviewed. It could be like 50% accurate or something and the other i mean and the other thing we have in our favor is independent media like yourself um in podcasting particularly is very distributed we're getting good information out to people like the project veritas undercover report like that we mentioned it earlier like catching that cnn chief tactical operator whatever his fucking title was like literally

explaining what the playbook is it's just part of that these people like to brag too i think that's a big part of their downfall they're really arrogant bragging like yeah our goal was to get trump out we did it um our goal was to fear fear monger people we just had to put the numbers on next is climate change next yeah these people are sick if they're they they don't see the human consequences of the stuff they're doing how many how many people have died because of this crap i mean it's just really um it's really sick well um before we um wrap up i definitely wanted to talk a little more about um elon musk since he's in the news and i really uh want to stress that i think there has been a very sophisticated propaganda operation the past couple of years

to make this guy seem like the cool rogue billionaire even though he's literally in the top three of the world's richest people you know with jeff bezos and all of these guys make him be like the cool billionaire. This is a larger effort, a larger propaganda effort to make this a certain class of oligarchs seem cool and neat. And a lot of these guys ultimately tie back to what a lot of people actually call the PayPal mafia, which of course has Peter Thiel at the center. But, you know, Palmer Luckey has also gotten some of this propaganda spin. He's a cool guy, blah, blah, blah. He wears Hawaiian shirts when he does stuff, even though he sold Oculus strip to Facebook and now he's making AI weapons for the military. Cool dude, you know? And the

Elon Musk thing has been really similar. So I really want to stress to people, Elon Musk is just another billionaire. He's like Bill Gates. He's really not that different. In fact, Starlink, the internet service provider that's part of SpaceX, was actually Bill Gates's idea originally in the mid 90s with this billionaire telecom executive. They wanted to create a global internet monopoly with low orbit satellites. Their company was called Teledesic. They couldn't do it because they couldn't afford the infrastructure technology was still too expensive. But what's crazy is that literally the year that Teledesic folds, SpaceX is launched by Elon Musk. So that's little interesting tie in there. And I mean, Elon Musk is also like a lot of other tech billionaires

covering up his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was advising Tesla, was trying to get Tesla financing from Saudi Arabia because he's really, Jeffrey Epstein was very cozy with Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, trying to get their sovereign wealth fund. At the same time, they're doing all the stuff, the vision fund with SoftBank and all of this stuff to give money to tesla so tesla could go private it only really got derailed because elon musk tweeted about it and then was immediately under federal investigation um if you remember that back in 2018 but that was actually epstein uh well after i didn't realize he had epstein ties oh yeah his brother um basically uh dated one of the girls that epstein was exploiting she was living she was like part

of his entourage however you want to take that either co-conspirator or victim um started in dated uh kimball musk for a year kimball musk is on the board of tesla and spacex and allegedly this is from business insider epstein and his entourage got a tour of spacex facilities back in 2012 um you know after he was let out of jail yeah well that was like another person that I don't know if he's considered PayPal mafia, but he runs Peter Thiel's fun. Eric Weinstein, you know, thread about him. Yeah, well, that's because he was saying that, you know, it wasn't shady to be part of Edge. And the Edge Foundation is something that not everyone that was involved in it is shady.

I'm not necessarily saying that. But the way Weinstein was describing it as being like submitting essays once a year is not all it was doing. They had numerous events. And during that period, those events were almost exclusively really bankrolled by Jeffrey Epstein. He donated. He was like some years their only donor. But from 2001 until 2017, I mean, the vast majority of their donations was coming from Epstein. And this was basically a way to get people linked to Epstein's Wall Street corrupt financial network, which includes people like Michael Milken and some of these guys, ties, basically bringing them together to finance stuff with Silicon Valley, big Microsoft, Google presence at these meetings, and also like academic, scientific academics. um and it you know eric weinstein has tried to frame himself sort of as this uh he was uh he's very concerned about the intelligence ties of epstein but if you actually look at his tweets about it he's always just asking these questions about it um he talks about how he met epstein he doesn't say how epstein met him i'm convinced it was because of edge because eric was part of edge

and epstein would go and contact scientists through edge and that is how he would get access to them. So it seems pretty obvious, but he won't say if that was the case or not. He won't say what he and Epstein talked about when they met, but according to him on his podcast where he was supposedly so open about it at the end, he talks about how immediately he went and called someone and was like, this man is a construct. There's no way he's real. He's bizarre and so shady. Well, why can't you say what was so shady about the meeting? What did Epstein say that made you knew he was a construct right away and all of this stuff? He won't talk about that stuff. And if he wasn't currently working for Peter Thiel, I'd probably give him a pass.

But, you know, I mean, Peter Thiel is intimate in the whole PayPal mafia, intimately involved in building this panopticon we've been talking about, really at the center of it. Palantir is like, I've been I've been writing about it in a lot. I'm sorry. Go ahead. The CIA front, isn't it? They're basically just. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, basically what it is, if you remember way back, well, maybe not for other millennials, but people that are older maybe that are watching may remember in 2002, 2003, the U.S. military

wanted to operate something called total information awareness. The surveillance program after 9-11, it included a biosurveillance component to surveil people for health to prevent pandemics before they could happen. It also involved profiling people to see if you might be a terrorist before you commit a crime and all of this stuff. It was really controversial because at the time, people rightly noted, it would eliminate privacy in the U.S. entirely for domestic American citizens, very unheard of and very unconstitutional. It was shut down, but it didn't actually go away. Pieces of it were privatized. Pieces of it continued underground in the intelligence community and got sent to different agencies and were moved outside of

the military. Right after total information awareness gets shut down, Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, two of the co-founders of Palantir, are at Richard Pearl's house and are hanging out with the neocon Richard Pearl from PNAC, basically talking about how to set up total information awareness as a private company. And they go and meet with John Poindexter, who's the highest ranking Iran Contra criminal in the Reagan administration, who was going to be running the total information awareness system for the military. They go and they meet with him and they talk about how to create total information awareness

is a private company, and that's how Palantir was born. That is literally what Palantir was designed to be. That is why the CIA funded it at the beginning. That is why the CIA was their only client for the first three years of their business, guiding their entire product development, how it works, what data it collects, what it does, et cetera. CIA front. And the other person involved in advising Palantir for the CIA at that time is a guy named Alan Wade, who was chief information officer of the CIA at 9-11 and before that had founded Kiliad, a company with Christine Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's sister, that later after 9-11 became the homeland security software of choice for various intelligence agencies, even after Christine

Maxwell had been involved in the backdooring of U.S. networks for Israeli intelligence with the promised software scandal with her father in the 80s. It's nuts. So anyway, this is the group that Peter Thiel operates within. And they're trying to rebrand the fact that they're really an outgrowth of neocons, you know, by laundering themselves through like Joe Rogan's podcast and this other network of podcasts that are kind of similar to that to be like, oh, we're actually cool and all this stuff. I mean, Eric Weinstein goes and talks about like trans bathrooms all day long, but he is distracting you from the fact that his boss is building, you know, a giant digital prison for everyone yeah so you know i don't um really give a shit what the guy thinks frankly um and there's

plenty of ties on epstein and intelligence that he could have like put some facts out there now there's plenty that's been documented and for him to be asking questions and just vaguely say follow the money when peter thiel was co-investing uh with epstein and carbine 911 a pre-crime law enforcement company run by unit 8200 guys i mean come on shit is hypocritical as fuck it's crazy how small the circle of whatever you want to call it is cabal whatever it may be yeah yeah totally and going back to elon musk i mean a lot of his companies aside from like the the five billion in government subsidies to to prop all of all of those up a lot of the other money has come from either paypal related venture capital firms um not just necessarily founders fund one

of peter thiel's main things but it's come from uh ex-paypal guys that used to work for thiel or used to work for founders funds setting up their own funds and then they go and fund tesla or spacex or whatever i mean these guys are passing the money around and the fact that uh elon musk is one of the richest guys in the world and he gets like five billion dollars in government subsidies um that that's just up until 2015 uh you know i mean that was like six years ago i mean imagine what it is now um you know that's crazy he was made to be wealthy his businesses were made to be what they are. They're unprofitable. They wouldn't exist in the real world. It's not unlike how Jeffrey Epstein was set up to look like a hedge fund manager when he actually was not

in a billionaire when actually his money was all coming from somewhere else. Elon Musk is really similar in that sense. So I think people should keep that in mind. And he's definitely, you know, I mean, the guy wants to put a chip in your brain. And so does Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel, also Thiel Capital, where Eric Weinstein is managing director, has investments in a company that just acquired brain control uh you know brain machine interface companies um you know what do you think they're gonna do i mean it's just it's all very creepy whirling stuff is like they'll be like you're you're just a luddite it's like the next evolution of humanity we're gonna oh no fuck off uh if anyone wants to know what the real deal is with with with that stuff you

need to go watch um this guy that the that mark zuckerberg and barack obama and plow schwab all love his name is Yuval Noah Harari uh this guy gave the keynote speech at the 2020 Davos um and basically what he says is that once um a government gets you to wear wearables or gets electronics inside your body it is now uh the era of his words digital dictatorships where governments will surveil your thoughts uh about the great leader and all of this stuff um and send you to the gulag the next morning even if you look like you're clapping if you are secretly angry inside um i mean that's a direct quote from his speech basically i mean it's it's not so go and watch that shit you'll know what the game what the game plan is it's really wild so this is not

this is i mean they frame this stuff for years too a lot of that technology actually started with darpa not with elon musk and now elon musk is a military contractor it all comes full circle um how weird so it was all about getting you know disabled people paralyzed people to be able to walk again blind people to be being able to see again but if that's the case you know why are they you know commercializing it for uh mass use why does elon musk advertise the fact that he put one in a monkey's brain and forces it to play video games for hours on ends and what is obviously like horrendous animal abuse um you know um it's not about that that is how they start to sell it to you so you don't get freaked out when they start to introduce the technology but that's not

what the end game of the technology is for and actually an interview surfaced not that long ago of claude schwab he's saying it in french talking about how uh by 2030 people will have like brain chips and stuff and that'll be normal um no thanks resist the pod resist the bugs resist the chip freaks it's uh it's all very creepy um whitney i know you you have to get on with your day uh but before we wrap up what advice would you give bitcoiners uh and advice in the context of this group of people coming to attack bitcoin and replace it with something that would push us into a digital panopticon all right so i think it's it's it's possible at some point that they might try and put bitcoiners in lump them in with this whole war of domestic terror they're building

So they're saying now they've been trying to conflate QAnon, which is their domestic terror threat par excellence, right? They're trying to, they've already been conflating QAnon with anti-vaxxers. By the way, the anti-vaxxer definition has now been changed so that anyone that opposes vaccine mandates is now an anti-vaxxer, which is not what an anti-vaxxer is. So they're obviously moving the goalposts. And I think, you know, as this effort comes to regulate and criminalize Bitcoin and any other sort of anonymous, decentralized, you know, financial transactions, the groups that they're not able to bring to heel right away with the stuff they introduce out the gate, they may try and lump in with that, too. because it's basically the war on domestic terror is an all-purpose way to go after anyone that is dissenting and resisting the system they don't want anyone to really be able to exist outside the system so there's a lot of different things coming down the line there's likely going to be power

outages at some point these cyber attacks are going to target critical infrastructure they've been really open about that um definitely don't use exchanges man i mean the first thing they're going to do is go after coinbase um and and stuff like that so um you know that's get your coins off the exchanges freaks that's what we we preach here all the time yeah that's they're gonna totally it's gonna have to be like you you run it yourself or it's not yours i mean that's basically uh it's time to set that up if you haven't already uh that's for sure whitney has a btp btc pay server set up if you guys are liking her journalism please go support that is that an unlimited hangout on the donation yeah unlimited hangout and you just go to the support us tab and and

it'll pop up and uh i've been uh sick for a while uh so content's been a little low um but i'll be uh hopefully getting back uh to something normal in the coming weeks so next week i have a big piece coming out about um bill gates and jeffrey epstein how bill gates is uh a total liar and so was Melinda, about the Epstein ties. Bill Gates and Epstein met long before 2011. Anything else is ludicrous. It doesn't make any sense. So there's a huge, I kind of need to get that out before that narrative cements. And then my follow-up to my first report about the Wef Carnegie thing we started off talking about with the financial cyber attacks, the follow-up piece to that, that's going to be about the FSISAC report and the World Economic Forum Partnership

against cyber crime and what that could mean for bitcoiners and all of that stuff um i have that half written but i had to leave it because i like i said i got kind of ill so um i'll hopefully have that out in the next uh probably sometime this month yeah well again thank you for all the work you do thank you for coming on are you liking your btc pay server is it uh oh it's wonderful and so is the person that set it up if they're watching right now he is incredible he's helping me right now too actually but um yeah so where we can find you unlimited hangout where else yeah um i'm still on twitter but i'm probably going to be kicked off because who knows how long that shit's going to last so um i would recommend following me on telegram as well a lot of people seem to

be moving their unlimited hangout has a has a channel you can follow follow my work um that way i also have um a um my podcast and in any video stuff i do um goes on rockfin.com which is sort crypto related um in a sense well it pays out in crypto so well we need to get you set up on the sphinx chat um in podcasting 2.0 which is run by adam curry who started podcasting um and so he's building a decentralized he's trying to present decentralized open nature podcasting and he's actually integrating it with bitcoin so when people listen to this podcast on podcasting 2.0 compatible apps they'll be streaming me bitcoin as they listen so you can see here oh groovy somebody's listening to i'll show you off air i don't want to put this on

yeah yeah no worries yeah but anyway your podcast content can be monetized immediately as people are listening to you if they want to support you wow cool yeah because i got kicked off of patreon because of what i was writing about they didn't like it so um a lot of people in independent media really don't really have a choice but to use crypto at this point because everything else um they have come after um so um if you can support my work uh that way or on rockfin like i mentioned or maybe i'll get set up on this new one that'd be cool too you know it all it all helps for sure um you know things are crazy i just had to move across the planet um i have a three and a half year old and another one on the way i mean it's pretty um you know any support can

help um if i you know if i hadn't set up rockfin as a as a backup to patreon i would have been totally screwed for real i would have been out of the game so and i'm not the only one like that i really want to stress that um uh ryan christian from the last american vagabond also kicked off patreon so it was james corbett of the corbett report um all for no real reason um just you know blanket censorship and total bullshit so um definitely consider supporting those people as well and any other independent person they're really putting pressure on our uh income as a way to silence us instead of just censoring us on the big platforms um they're definitely uh trying to stick it to us that's for sure but not gonna work because fuck them all right well we're building

these distributed systems that they can't touch so um i think that's we're we're gonna help build the the media stack that that they can't touch um bitcoin being a part of that stack so whitney again thank you for doing what you do thank you for joining me again coming on my my weird bitcoin podcast i uh i love i like it i'm sorry i'm not more uh mentally here like i said i've been a little sick so considering uh considering your sickness you you were you were mentally uh on point you're very all right groovy makes me feel better thanks all right thanks for having me on thanks for coming on that's all we got this week freaks peace and love
