Gregory Wrightstone, and he is a very experienced person in terms of science, actual science.
Talking about climate change, he is a geologist with more than 35 years of experience researching and studying various aspects of the Earth's processes.
He was recently accepted as an expert reviewer for the UN IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
And I'll have to ask him about that.
Maybe he is somebody kind of like Scott Atlas on the COVID team, the lone dissenter.
But his science and fact-based approach exposes many of the alarmist myths concerning our changing climate, Gregory is a strong proponent of the scientific process
and believes that policy decisions should be driven by science, by facts, by data, not by a political agenda.
The book that he has published is A Very Convenient Warming,
How Modest Warming and More CO2 Are Benefiting Humanity.
Great to have you on. Thank you for joining us, Gregory Wrightstone.
Thank you so much david yeah actually for the new book uh my my birthday was last week and i woke up on the on my birthday and went to the computer and lo and behold that a very convenient
warming my my newest book was at number one best seller on amazon wow what a birthday gift i
couldn't have asked for anything better. That's great.
Yeah, my first book was a regular there. So we're trying to get the word out. I'm also
executive director of the CO2 Coalition, which is the preeminent scientific organization
of skeptical scientists. We have physicists, I'm a geologist uh energy experts and the like and and they all
believe as i do is that co2 is beneficial by a lot it's usually beneficial uh and there is no
climate crisis and we should celebrate uh how earth's ecosystems are thriving and prospering
well i agree 100 with that and uh yeah this stuff about carbon
sequestration is just the most astounding thing i have ever seen but again that website is co2
coalition.org and we'll talk a little bit more about that as well but uh what we're seeing in
the news and you've experienced a little bit of this as well uh they have all seized upon these
hurricanes as climate change tell us a little bit about what
you've been going through there in florida you're in florida well i i've been pointing out i use
science facts and data to support my my uh stances and my narrative and it flies in the face of most
of what you're hearing on the media mainstream media and. And in hurricanes, I've been tested. My beliefs
that climate change isn't driving hurricanes have been tested in the last two weeks,
but I still came through and I'm looking, I'm relying on my scientific work to dispute a
man-made driven climate crisis. My home is at Apollo Beach, about 12 miles south of Tampa. And if you recall, a day and a half or two days before landfall,
it was at a cat five.
And man, my home was right in the crosshairs.
And we looked, even some of the seasoned old salts in the area,
they looked at it and they said, man, we're bailing out.
We've never left before.
It looked bad.
And because it was going to hit it.
But our experts in CO2 coalition were saying no no no no
no it's going to land as a category two maybe category three this is what's going to happen
and they also predicted that there would be no instead of a storm surge at tampa they told me no
we saw it at ann and when ann struck this would be about to be similar there will actually be a negative surge
in other words it would suck water out of the bay and that's exactly what they found so it made we
bailed out we've been hit the week before by helene we escaped any flooding but the area around
us was hit pretty hard our bookkeeper's home was was devastated we actually did a gofundme campaign
for her and and raised thirty three thousand dollars in two days and what a blessing that
was to her she says in my darkest time of my life you guys came through and i just you know you're
you're you're being being you're brightening and making this so much more bearable so we can do one
we can't we can't help everybody, but we helped her.
But we made what seemed to be a reasonable decision,
instead of fleeing north, but to go southeast to the other side of the state.
And we went to Vero Beach, a condo of a friend.
And if you may recall, we couldn't have chosen a worse place to evacuate to in the
united states or probably the world because this huge super storm cell at about 4 p.m came
through our area it was giant it was gnarly and it was it was scary and the tornadoes hit
and the tornado near us went right up along highway a1a if you're jimmy
buffett fan you know highway a1a and it's uh yeah right up by two miles swath of that it actually
hit the condo uh that was next the part of our building was next to us and it was
i was doing a live video interview with another host at the time and there's like alarms going off
lightning lights flashing he said this is great i mean you'll never have another interview like that
you know with his with his guest in the middle of being hit by a tornado and a hurricane but
bear in mind those that tornado hit at 4 30. The landfall didn't occur until 830, four hours later.
So this preceded that.
But again, I took a look at our newsletter for the CO2 Coalition.
Go to co2coalition.org to subscribe.
You'll love it.
I give some more detail.
We're having a newsletter go out today about my experience.
We also have
information i took a look at land falling hurricanes and that's the best measure if you want to look at long-term hurricane information land falling hurricanes for the
united states are the best because we can take that confidently we know every single hurricane
that's made landfall in the united
states going back to at least 1850 and that's because they're so big you can't miss it and
right we know it's made landfall we it's it's been recorded and so if we look at landfalling
hurricanes that we find in the united states there have been in decline i looked at florida
landfalling hurricanes and they've also been in decline. So that's a pretty good metric. And the other thing they're
saying is that hurricane intensity is increasing. That's not borne out by the evidence. If you look
at the global accumulated cyclone energy that Ryan Maui and the NOAA do, that's basically
an estimate of the intensity of the hurricanes, which translates
to wind speed. And it's been pretty flat. You could probably
argue there's been a slight decline, but there's definitely been not a significant
trend either up or down. In fact,
Christopher Land C, and what a great name, he's the
NOAA hurricane expert. What a great name. He's a NOAA hurricane expert.
Or at least he used to be.
What a great name for a hurricane expert.
Christopher Landsee is almost as good as a geologist with the last name of Wright Stone.
Isn't it?
That's right.
Yeah.
So Christopher Lansing, one of his last, he left he he told the truth about hurricanes his last analysis said well
you know maybe hurricane intensity is increasing by maybe one percent uh okay let me ask you david
if you were standing on siesta key could you tell the difference between 102 and 103 miles per hour i don't think so and that's what so give me whatever okay let's say
he's right you can't it's it's so little then it's meaningless yeah and can they measure that
you know i mean it is but you see this panic everywhere in in the uh in the uk uh the express
that's one person says well i maybe i slept through this. But the headlines, storm tracker map shows a path of Hurricane Kirk with a monster 75 mile an hour gales to batter Britain.
And it is just filled with over the top bombastic alarmism.
It's horrific.
The UK is bracing for this.
It's going to be brutal, a shocking weather forecast sweeping in with widespread destruction.
Just panic, panic, panic everywhere.
And he says, well, I didn't even notice if it came.
And that's what we're seeing.
We're seeing that kind of hype.
And they don't really, as you point out, a 1% difference.
Can they even measure that?
As you said, you can't feel it.
Can they really accurately measure that and record it?
Comparing it to the types of measurements that they had a century ago.
Were they accurate, even if they're accurate today today so we don't know that right yeah and it's all about creating a climate of fear yeah they
have to create two words i'm going to use here fear and control they need to establish a climate
of fear they need you and your your viewers to say oh oh no there's there's
a climate catastrophe and it's our fault uh millions will die there's a climate crisis
we'll have crop failure pestilence and nasty population because of man-made global warming
uh so they have to establish this climate of fear because their object is really what their
proposals are is to control every aspect of your life that's right they want to control
how much water comes out of your shower what kind of car you drive how you heat your home
how cool you keep it in the summer and how hot you warm it in the winter uh then we could go on
and on and on what you eat
you know i mean all that i mean they're shutting down farms now the epa is going to start shutting
down farms with us it is absolutely amazing and we understand that it's a that's what the real
purpose of all this stuff is and they have a lot of different things that they throw out there
always with the same thing in mind that's why i refer to it as mcguffin it doesn't really matter
what the thing is but
it's about creating the fear so that you can bring in these controls and it's always the same
controls that we want to bring in and those same people aren't they so proud that we support choice
i'm i'm i i support choice well no they don't no i would like to choose what kind of car to drive i
would like to choose what kind of dishwasher to drive i would like to choose what kind of dishwasher
to buy i'd like to choose all those things and they don't want to give you that choice
do that it's it's fear and control fear and they want you why else would we voluntarily
give up our freedoms yeah only if there's there truly is an existential threat to humanity, and it's just not there.
And what we see, David, this new book, my first book was Inconvenient Facts. It's now sold almost 100,000 copies. In that book, we established pretty clearly that there is no climate crisis,
but we've gone a step further in this new book and with the co2 coalition is not
only is there not a climate crisis but by almost every metric we look at earth's ecosystems are
thriving and prospering and humanity is benefiting from that yeah probably and this you have a
christian show here and this really goes back to the heart of, you know, if we were going to have kill hundreds of millions of people, we should do something about it.
But just the opposite is occurring.
What we're seeing are huge benefits to humanity and their solutions, particularly in the developing world in India, Asia, and Africa. They don't want to lift these people out of poverty by using affordable, abundant, reliable energy that can be derived from natural gas and coal.
They want to keep them with their thumb down and don't let them prosper.
And that's what they want to do to us as well.
You've now got the EPA is focused now on shutting down power plants.
And, of course, they've been shutting them down for a while now because oh well can't have coal or whatever but
the epa has come after them now with a vengeance with their emissions and so forth uh and so as
they shut down the grid uh and they need more power for the ai so they're going to put these
small nuclear reactors out there but it's only going to be power for them they're going to shut
down affordable reliable energy for us and uh and that that really is the concern and that really is the
agenda i think uh that is a control and impoverish and austerity uh that really is the way that they
can control us is through poverty it is um and you you had two of the three words i used for
electricity what we should look for.
It's affordable, reliable and abundant.
In other words, we can get a big bang for our buck.
And that's what we get with nuclear as well, but nuclear, coal, natural gas.
And again, since we are not going into a climate crisis that's driven by co2 but rather co2 is beneficial there's no way
we should be trying to do carbon capture or take the new carbon mitigation strategies we're actually
be hurting ourselves and the other thing that's really interesting it's one of my pet uh the
it's a section of the book is my one of my favorite things to talk about is the strong relationship between human history and climate
history to find that it's completely opposite of what we're being told we're being told oh we can't
it we must fear the heat the heat will cause terrible things well look back over the last
several thousand years to see what happened and find that no are in a warming trend, but it's been warming for more
than 300 years. There were three other warming trends similar to what we're in right now,
but all three were hotter, ended up warmer than what we are today. And all three were hugely
beneficial in improvements we saw to the human condition during each one of those warm periods.
Life was good. Food was bountiful,
the great empires and civilizations rose up. The first of those was the Bronze Age. It was called
the Minoan warm period. The first great civilizations rose up, the Assyrians, the Hittites,
the Babylonians, the Harappan Empire in the Indus River Valley. All those great civilizations around the world was up during a really, really warm time.
And then it started getting cold.
And really bad things happen in each one of the times when it started getting cold.
And we see these cold periods are associated with famine, crop failure, pestilence, and
nasty population.
And so, that led to the Greek Dark Ages. and it really didn't get good until we got into
the Roman warm period, the time of Christ.
At that time, again, food was bountiful, life was good.
North Africa was the breadbasket, you may not be aware, of the Roman army.
It's not much of a breadbasket today.
So it then, when it started getting cold again,
there were a lot of reasons for the Roman Empire's fall.
Cold was probably a contributing factor,
and that led to what was called the Dark Ages.
And then the Medieval War period was, again,
life was good, empires arose, food was bountiful.
And then that led to the recent cooling period called the Little Ice Age.
It was probably the coldest time of the last 10,000 years.
And it was, again, maybe 50% of Iceland perished during that time.
One third of the population of the earth perished during that time.
And particularly Northern Europe, we have a lot of great records of just how terrible
it was recall valley forge and george washington it was it was very cold for example not far from
where i am right now is is mount vernon and george when they lived there during this little ice age
that was really cool cold martha liked to enjoy ice in her drinks in the summer.
So George built an ice house.
They dug in and he would have his indentured servants and slaves go down in the winter.
And it froze very, very thick ice every year.
It doesn't do that.
I mean, I think in the 80s, there was one winter where it did that.
So we can use historical data like that.
People understand that.
And they'll go, oh, yeah.
If the Potomac River was freezing solid, nearly solid every winter, and it only happens once every 30 data to show how warm it was during the medieval
warm time uh period the the roman uh warming period and and some much more but again
history tell they would call me a science denier but i would call them history deniers because
they're denying history shows conclusively that warm is much much better than cold so we should welcome the warmth
and fear the cold and of course it cycles through there and especially if you got a roman toga that
those drafts can get really bad you know but uh yeah there's a reason they wore togas there's a
reason that were togas yeah washington uh got a caught a cold riding around and that was uh well
i don't know if that was what killed him.
It might have been the bleeding and the mercury that they gave him, but that brought it all on.
Talk a little bit about what happens, you know, because part of what we're seeing now is we've had situations back in the middle of the 1800s.
I forget the exact date when crack a toe happened they had a little mini ice age at that point in time as well uh because there was a lot of um uh debris that was sent up by the volcano
on land uh some people have talked about and i forget where it was in the south pacific that
was recently like last year or two years ago or something yeah that's it. A water volcano, and that puts up water vapor.
That has a warming effect.
If it's a land volcano, that has a cooling effect.
We have so many natural processes that have amazing and direct influence.
We're talking about solar activity or we're talking about volcanic activity.
Talk a little bit about that.
It's not all man-made.
What's happening, right?
Well, the increase in CO2 is man-made for the most part.
The vast majority is from us using fossil fuels,
but I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with the large carbon footprint
because what we're seeing is CO2 is beneficial.
We have a paper that I'm finalizing right now.
It's actually a lengthy 92-page summary, but it's highly detailed science. And we use seven different lines of evidence to verify and conclude that the increase in CO2 of 50% since the Industrial Revolution is for man. There are some people out there saying it's not, but we're emitting huge amounts of CO2
into the atmosphere. If you do that, it's got to increase atmospheric CO2. And so, you know,
we have that. And I started rambling on, I forgot the question, the original question you asked.
Well, I was talking about natural processes in terms in terms of you know changing the climate and that type of thing there are there also there's some false
things out there that are being spread one is that volcanoes provide huge amounts of co2 and there's
one report that mount pinatubo when it went in when it erupted it put out more co2 and during
the eruption there was man's every minute that's
just categorically false because we know how much CO2 was emitted by man that year I think it was
1991. we also know pretty closely how much CO2 was put out by pentatubo and it turns out that that
eruption put out two-tenths of uh of the percent of the CO2 emitted that year, of man's CO2.
So it's a small contribution.
That gets a lot of play.
They try and downplay our contribution to CO2.
Well, what I was talking about was the ejection of material
into the upper atmosphere, which would be a cooling thing.
A lot of people think that volcanoes, there are two types of volcanoes.
One's explosive.
Think Mount St. Helens, Pinatubo.
The other type is called effusive volcanoes, which just kind of flows out.
Think of Kilauea.
We see that a lot.
Some of the eruptions at Iceland, these are big, huge lava flows.
And those tend to put out more co2
than the explosive volcanoes and some of these there were a couple two there were two huge uh
lava flows that were effusive one was called the deccan traps the other was the siberian traps
these these volcanoes flowed for millions of years and were emitting CO2 for millions of years and probably contribute a fair amount of CO2 to the atmosphere.
These explosive volcanoes do not.
And also, the explosive volcanoes, it's not the solids.
You think, well, it's going to block out the sun.
It does for the few.
That falls out pretty quickly yeah it's the sulfates the aerosols
and the sulfates to get up into the stratosphere that lasts for three four or five years uh that
has a cooling effect because what they're doing is the sun's reflecting off of those so it doesn't
uh get to strike the earth they have that warming effect and then we talk about the undersea volcano
the one that you mentioned again i can't remember the name tonga tonga yeah okay well that one you know another uh greenhouse
gas of course the the big one is water vapor and if that increases the water vapor by significant
percentages it is not one that's going to also affect things uh my point is that when you have solar activity, when you have something that is going to massively
increase greenhouse gases like water vapor, there's so many things that are natural out
there, but they want to make it as everything is about man-made, right?
Do you agree with that or do you disagree with that?
Oh, yeah.
Let's be clear. co2 co2 is a
greenhouse gas co2 is increasing so it has more co2 has a contribution has a warming effect on
the atmosphere it's just very small very modest and overwhelmed by those natural forces so don't
be a denier yes co2 has a warming effect, thankfully.
But again, it's overwhelmed by these natural forces.
And we've seen through time that CO2 increases and decreases do not control temperature.
Just going back through Earth's history to the dawn of time, we don't see a correlation there.
And so we have to look at the science effects and the data put it in a long perspective uh to figure that out and you know uh your the book uh your book title harkens back to
uh al gore's documentary uh an inconvenient truth your book is a very convenient warming
and uh as as part of his um his documentary i guess we we could laughingly refer to it as, but as part of his film, let's just say, it played a very big role.
I remember that he had the projections of what was going to happen to temperature driven and following exactly CO2.
As you point out, CO2 is going up and down.
But that direct correlation that was there, the hockey from michael mann as everybody talks about it he had that blown up into uh something that was about
30 feet tall and he gets on an elevated platform to go up to exaggerate that and um that really
has michael mann's um uh correlation there of his hockey stick thing really hasn't uh played out has it well let's talk about
al gore he used 800 000 or 400 000 years of co2 versus temperature well there is there is a really
good correlation over the last several hundred thousand years but it's core it's it's not co2
driving temperature it's temperature driving co2 changes and because that's because the oceans
are the great uh sink and source for co2 a cold ocean absorbs more co2 a warm ocean expels it
just think about it's kind of contrary to to what you might say if you take a liter jar of ginger
ale and take it out of the refrigerator and open it up, it just goes.
But take that liter jar of ginger ale and put it out on your picnic table, on your patio, in the sun in August.
Let it sit there for an hour and then go open it up.
And man, it'll be like a volcano with that CO2 that's in the ginger ale that's being expelled because it's warm.
And that's what we see.
Warming oceans expel CO2.
And so it warms first and then CO2 increases.
And it's delayed by hundreds of years.
But if you compress it all, which Al Gore did, his interpretation was just backwards of what it should have been.
It's not CO2 driving temperature.
It's temperature driving CO driving temperature it's temperature
driving co2 that's interesting yeah i was involved with a group that tried to get the data from
michael man he fought like a banshee and was able to win in court and not show the data which had
already his conclusions had already been published he'd collected it he'd done the science at the
university of virginia so he did it on the public dime, and he had published his conclusions,
and they'd been used to create public policy,
and yet we could not pry that data from him.
And you have to wonder why.
If he's got it, if it's real, why?
He's a piece of work.
He's a nasty, foolish person, and he's very litigious.
Yes, we have to be careful what we say about Michael Mann, because we know what he's a nasty person and he's very litigious yes we have to be careful what we say about
michael man because we know i was quoting someone else there when i just called him
that was a quote uh we know from like mark stein is the best
he lost in court to michael man got a one million dollar judgment against him but mark stein said
that uh the hockey stick is a reconstruction of temperature using proxies with two problems
the proxies and the reconstruction he said other than that you can take it to the bank
and that was that's a claim so what he did he used just proxies or things we used for
temperature reconstruction or co2 reconstruction through
back before historical records and and michael mann used some really really horrifically bad
proxies to reconstruct temperature and like you say he's according to him we had a slowly
declining temperature up until about the 20th century and then man it just took
off the temperatures they skyrocketed and he again he based uh that in his his reconstruction on just
bad bad bad proxies particularly tree ring data in the southwest of the united states that's right to
make it he was uh yeah you pick your starting your ending points carefully there don't you but he was also involved in climate gate and that's one of the reasons why he was a focus of
the group that i was working with uh because um you know he was even though that was kind of
focused in the uk at east anglia university he was involved back and forth with emails where
they were talking about we're going to hide the decline based on our models and that's the other
thing about this you know how did these people get a pass for making all these predictions?
You were talking earlier about the scientists that were affiliated with the CO2 coalition.org
and how they were pretty accurate in terms of what they thought would happen with the hurricane,
even the sense that the storm surge is going to be negative because it was going to land somewhere else.
And so we have those types of things.
And if somebody can make a prediction and it comes true, but we have these grand predictions
that are kind of like trying to predict the weather 50 years in advance.
And they're hysterically wrong, whatever they're predicting, whether they're talking about
the Great Barrier Reef disappearing, whatever whatever it is they keep making these predictions and yet they never seem to be held accountable for making these
false predictions with their models exactly go back to may of this year and see what no was
predicting for this this year's hurricane season they were predicting one of the highest number of storms ever in record well now it's
it feels particularly particularly for me and my wife um that it's been a bad hurricane season but
we're actually under the average for the hurricanes and it will probably we may get to the very low
end of what noah predicted but no one they're never called on on the carpet that's right
for that and it's it's um yeah desantis made that case to a journalist and you know and i had talked
about that i said you know when you look at the hurricanes that hit tampa there was one in 1848
took exactly the path that they were predicting uh but um you know which this one did not take
that path but that was they had one that had actually taken that path in 1848.
And then in North Carolina, in Asheville in 1921, they also had a hurricane that went up there
and caused just about the kind of same level of destruction in terms of water accumulation
and that type of thing.
I hesitate to use the word flood because if you say flood, the insurance companies won't pay them anything.
So we have to come up with some other name for what happened.
It's rain. And so it had that kind of rain but you know we've seen this
type of stuff so it's not unprecedented and you know these were situations that happened there
wasn't really any man-made industry that was that was doing that 100 years ago 150 years ago so
you know that that is the the the background but no matter what they say
they're never held accountable to it and no matter how dire and false their predictions are it just
keeps going it must be an interesting thing to work with the unipcc because of that tell us a
little bit about that well i actually got in on that at the very end, and there was very little I could contribute or do at that time.
So, and I was, I signed up, was accepted, and then I joined the CO2 Coalition as executive director.
And I've been just, there was just, you got to set your priorities.
And this is leading this group of eminent scientists.
We just had john clouser
join us on our board he's the 2022 nobel laureate in physics yeah we've got patrick more on our
board who's the co-founder of greenpeace yeah and if you uh he's he's wonderful and dr william
happer emeritus professor of physics from princeton and the he was the inventor of the Soviet yes Soviet sodium
guide star laser developed during the Star Wars under Reagan and and if you if you remember SDI
Star Wars was the they were trying to shoot down incoming missiles from the Soviet Union
and intercept them in space using lasers.
But they couldn't figure out how to do it because they just it was it was Will Happer, our chairman, that invented this ability to keep lasers focused through the atmosphere.
And now his invention is used at every observatory around the world to get crystal clear nighttime images there
you see if you ever see an observatory with a yellow beam going up from it
that's his sodium guide star laser that are used to keep to figure out what's
going on the atmosphere so they get crystal clear photographs so these are
the scientists that we have. They're incredible.
It's great.
And we stick to the science.
Yeah.
And it's essential because if they're going to keep us afraid of the unknown, and if they're going to say, as we saw throughout all this COVID stuff,
I'm the expert and science is what I say it is.
That is the antithesis of science.
That's what, as I say often.
They promote consensus science. That's what, as I say often. Well, they promote consensus science. That's the big thing. And it's
as Michael Creighton famously said, if it's science, it's
not consensus. If it's consensus, it's not science. And Richard Feynman,
the great physicist, my favorite quote about consensus,
he says, I would rather have questions that can't be answered
than answers that can't be questioned.
And that's what we have today in climate.
They tell us what the answer is, and you dare not question it.
You must not.
And they need to silence me and my colleagues at the CO2 Coalition.
We've seen that first with climate, and then we saw it with the covid stuff and with
medications and now it's everything uh you know anything they will tell you what is true and you
cannot question that and and so that's the the attack that we see on free speech that's happening
everywhere but it's it's now flowing out everywhere but it began with the climate stuff
yeah and let me just if we have time here just just to delve in, one of the proudest things,
we're doing scientific papers, and we do the technical material,
but we also, our members were concerned about the state of science education
in America, and we decided to do something about it
and put a committee of mostly PhDs together,
and what they've done
is incredible i ended up hiring a full-time artist a talented artist tiago hellinger de
silva down in brazil and he does we're creating books we're creating videos that are attractive
to children and students but most importantly we're also doing lesson plans for homeschooling parents in charter schools. And they're not just
a lesson plan. It's rare. We actually have a scientist
doing that, Dr. Sharon Camp, PhD in analytic
chemistry. She's an AP science teacher and reader. And so this is science
based. We're totally vetted the lesson plans.
We've completed the first series of
book i've just authored the first of the next series we call it the sleep well series you're
gonna love this so the title is chloe the clown fish sleeps well at night and it's it's oh it's
marvelous and the art is fantastic it's about chloe that lives on the great barrier reef and
she's told school that you know the great barrier reef and she's told at school
that you know the great barrier reef in her home was going to be destroyed because of man's
uh climate change and we're going to use that story we're able to use that story in an
entertaining method to put out the facts about what's actually happening with corals on the
great barrier reef and i was joined as a co-author, Dr. Peter Ridd,
who's one of the top coral and Great Barrier Reef experts,
collaborated with me on this.
So we have top scientists that work together to make sure we get the story right.
But we're kind of going, we're getting the nose under the camel's tent
by getting this really uh interesting
material out there oh that's great yeah that's one of their big failed predictions was a great
barrier reef that's like before we get off of that i'd like to give the website of our it's
co2learningcenter.com co2learningcenter.com uh you can go get our books for qualifying homeschool organizations or charter
schools. We've just brought in a shipment of CO2 meters that we actually give to qualify,
at no charge, to qualify in schools and homes and teachers. Because some of our lesson plans involve experiments that require
a CO2 meter. And a lot of these people, they don't want to
spend $140 for a CO2 meter. So we've done it for them.
And this is our mission. Our mission is to provide
fact science data and now our mission too
is to provide that information to students
particularly the homeschool parents and all three of my grandchildren are homeschooled and
it's important they love to use this information so co2learningcenter.com that's great co2learningcenter.com
yeah if you don't want to be a clownfish, be careful with school that you hang out with. Right. So that's wonderful that you seized on that and made that because that is that is really the key. You know, you say Chloe sleeps well at night. Well, that's the world is going to end because of CO2 emissions.
And it is absolute insanity.
And, of course, the only way that you're going to stop CO2 emissions is to starve us to death and kill all the people.
But I think that might be what they're trying to do.
Yeah, there is that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, there is that.
It certainly is amazing.
Well, it's fascinating to talk to you again.
Gregory Wrightstone and the book is A Very Convenient Warming at the top of the list on Amazon.
And I've got a couple of comments here.
Brian and Deb McCartney, can you ask if he has heard of the Just Transition Task Force?
I'm attending another meeting in northern minnesota this
evening regarding the killing of coal-fired power so it's the just just transition task
force have you heard anything about that i haven't i don't like the word transition
yeah it's a transition and i'm not talking about transition of energy and it's why should we
transition away from something that's worked wonderfully that's lifted big that's right
oh do we lose it we lost your audio i don't know if you can still hear me not
something happened there uh still don't have it there we are oh okay now we're back now
we're back okay good that's good it's a darn gremlins uh yeah we shouldn't why should we
transition away from reliable abundant affordable energy to unreliable uh energy that's not abundant
that's not affordable it's it's so the, it's a forced transition away.
I like to let the free market decide, and the free market will tell you that it's coal, it's natural gas, and maybe nuclear for our electricity needs.
Yeah, it is interesting, isn't it?
And I think that they were talking about that.
I think they're concerned about the killing of coal-fired power.
That's what their concern is.
And so I think this other group is trying to transition away from it.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, you look at, I've got magazines here that, Gregory, that I show people from 1979,
Time and Newsweek, and they say, by the middle of the 1980s, we will have no more oil and
no more natural gas.
And it's like, i saved those because i
knew that was nonsense and then they say well we got 666 years of coal so what do they do they
decide they're going to get rid of coal you can make coal clean but they're not required that's
one you know we talk about the un uh that's one of my pet peeves i talk about frequently here and
that is the paris climate accord uh even people who are alarmists were alarmed at the Paris Climate Accord because they said, well, you're not doing anything to stop this.
You're going to allow China and India to build as many power plants as they wish and not have them be clean.
And so this is not addressing what our global problem is, they think.
They said this is simply a transfer of industry to China,
and that's exactly what it is, isn't it?
It is. It is.
And boy, are they, both India and China.
I think President Xi, in India, Prime Minister Modi,
I think he does care about his people,
and he wants to lift, they still have 800 million people
that are living in energy
poverty without electricity he wants to lift those people up and provide uh electricity to everyone
throughout throughout india and he's they're going great guns they're mining setting breaking records
mining coal they're setting records building and producing more uh electric electricity derived from coal
their natural gas isn't very well developed and we can talk a little bit about that i traveled
to india and spoke at a the first natural gas shale gas conference in india a number of years
ago and uh but china president g number one he's got to be sitting there right now rubbing his hands
together and glee because he's we're we're self-destructing yes we're undermining our
electricity or our economy uh for no good reason and he's advancing his he's mouthing the words
we're going to go to net zero by what 20 70 20 80. he's not he
has no intention of doing that no and and they're they're going great guns I don't think he there's
no altruistic bone in his body his goal is to is to Mount and have an economy um unrivaled in the
world and part of that's used getting affordable reliable abundant energy and
he's doing it with call he's using everything they're building a lot of solar they're doing
wind but it's it's mainly coal that's really driving this and it's and plus here in the
United States most of our uh proposals here we know about kamala harris she was pushing electric vehicles
until she wasn't which occurred at some point we don't know why or when but now she's not but
their their whole energy solution jennifer granholm and department of energy they want
everybody to drive an electric car which will only increase demand for an already scarce uh
electricity and lead to it's going to be horrible horrible horrible yeah well we can look and see
what's happening as they're demanding that everything be electric no no gas ranges all
electric appliances all electric cars and everything as they're doing that they're
simultaneously shutting down the grid uh capacity and so we know where this all leads.
And you can see what's happening in the UK as well.
Their electricity is already four times what it is in the United States.
They just shut down their last steel plant.
They just shut down their last coal energy plant.
They can't compete and manufacture anything with China. I mean, China's always had the China price, which is, you know, their currency manipulation and copyright piracy and slave labor. Well, now they've got the cheapest
energy of anybody. That's what's going to happen. You've got Germany. Look at what is happening to
the German industry. They're having to shut down as well. If we follow this path of getting rid of
CO2, it is a path of suicide. That's why your book is so important and the organization is so important.
The co2coalition.org that you put together
got a lot of Nobel Prize winning scientists
that are there.
People ought to bookmark that
and get that on your mailing list.
And the book is a very convenient warming,
again, by Gregory Wrightstone.
This is a vital issue.
It really is. Yeah, is yeah thank you that's again
that's the mission of the co2 coalition it's my own personal mission is to get the the science
the facts and the data out there about what's actually happening and i'm an optimist david
i'm i'm a true optimist in a lot of things but particularly i believe we're winning i i find i talk to lots
of people i do a lot of uber drivers i'm converting america one uber driver at a time
but i find just about everybody i talk to is thirsty for the information that we provide
that my books provide that the co2 coalition provides they're thirsty for this they've never
heard of it so many times their eyes get wide open and they go i've never heard that uh why why are they lying why aren't they
telling us that yes if they we need to be silenced yes because i'm telling a fact-based story
and we can see what is happening in european countries especially in in the uk they're a
little bit ahead of us uh you know this article article I covered yesterday that was about, I said, electricity rationing has already begun.
They just haven't given you your coupon book. And they're talking about how they're measuring all of
the, you know, the time of day usage and all the rest of this kind of stuff. And people are
scrambling to figure out how they're going to afford this. I mean, and we've got these offshore wind farm
that is offshore Long Island.
It's going to escalate the price of,
well, by conservative factor,
four or five times
because they're looking
at their profit margin
is going to be about
one and a half times
what the current entire cost is.
So it is amazing
what is happening with all this,
how expensive, how unreliable it is,
and it really is going to be incredibly destructive for all of our lives. Yeah. Well,
thank you so much for joining us. And again, the book is A Very Convenient Warming by Gregory
Wrightstone at the top of the Amazon list. Thank you so much for joining us, sir. And the
co2coalition.org, also very important.
And I'll put that and the resource into the description, the co2learningcenter.com, because
we do have a lot of people who homeschool, and I know they'd be interested in those books
and that curriculum.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you. ¶¶ Sous-titrage ST' 501 It looks like it's a natural control for cancer.
And he told me this story.
All right, this gets interesting in the details. He had a natural control for cancer. And he told me this story. All right. This gets interesting in the details.
He had a dog that had cancer, and he was about to put the dog down because, you know, he tried chemotherapy and everything else on the dog that the doctors do, and it wasn't working.
In fact, the dog was getting sicker.
And when he heard about this, he tried to use I decided to use this
substance on the dog and he said blow me down the dog got well real fast they
couldn't believe it I'd never seen that happen before and then the next part of
the story is that he said his nurse came to him his head nurse whose husband was
had terminal cancer and she said to dr. John, you know, my husband is not going to last very
much longer. And I saw what happened to the dog. Would you please do that for my husband?
And he said, Well, sure, I'd be glad to but don't tell anybody because it's not approved,
you know, for human use. And he tried it on her husband and he got well.
This is how it all started.
And so John said, I started using it very, very cautiously
and very low dosages and very suspiciously,
making sure that I was not risking anybody's life,
using it only on people who really had terminal cancer.
Joining us now is G. Edward Griffin,
a real giant in the liberty movement.
He's done so many monumental works.
Of course, everybody knows Creature from Jekyll Island, but we wanted to also talk to him today
about his book, A World Without Cancer,
because I think that's a message
that people are ready to hear
after what we've been through for the last four years. But we've now seen, I think that's a message that people are ready to hear after what we've been through for the last four years.
But we've now seen, I think, really a convergence in medical, financial, and political, because it's all being swallowed up by the political stuff.
But great to have Gio Rue Griffin on.
Thank you so much for joining us, sir.
Well, it's my pleasure.
Thanks for inviting me.
And I want to talk also about the Red Pill Expo that's going to be coming up in just a couple of weeks as well.
So I'll give you a chance to talk about that and what's happening with that.
But your work is very well known by a lot of people.
And we're going to try to get into maybe, you know, the medical aspect of this is maybe not as well known as the Federal Reserve.
But we do want to talk about the financial stuff.
That's very important right now.
But I think it'd be good for us to talk about your biography. How did you get into doing documentaries and books, and especially
in terms of going against the grain of conventional wisdom? Tell us a little bit about your background.
Well, it's a long background, of course, considering my age.
And it's probably not very interesting.
It's rather boring, actually.
Yeah, you're correct.
We've covered some ground and made some amazing touch points along the way.
But I think it's only because we've been at it for so long.
My life has been pretty much normal in the sense, by normal, I'm almost afraid or embarrassed to say normal,
because unfortunately what is normal out there in the world today is not particularly attractive.
An abnormal world. A normal person in an abnormal world.
Yeah. Well, I mean, it's not unusual, I guess I should say,
in that I would start out in one direction and be confronted by some impossible barrier or setback or tragedy,
and it would be life-changing for me,
and very uncomfortable, very painful very very frightening
and uh but in retrospect as the time goes by i find out that that was the best thing that ever
happened to me because it forced me to do a right turn or change my direction substantially and
even though it was painful and i had to abandon my original plans and expectations,
I found out that it was a better direction
than the one I was on originally.
And my life is full of that.
And some of those tragedies along the way
were very serious illnesses too.
I was still very young.
I was in my early 30s
and I had a wife and a couple of kids to support,
and I had a collapse, and I had two doctors tell me I had multiple sclerosis.
Now, I didn't really know for sure what that was.
I knew it was bad, but when I looked it up in the encyclopedia,
I decided, oh, man, this is a bad way to go out the door.
And I thought I was dying, of course.
But it was a misdiagnosis.
I had exhausted myself.
I thought I was carrying the world on my shoulders.
I thought I had to save the world all by myself.
And so I was not getting a lot of sleep i was a young guy of course
i was doing a lot of traveling making presentations training sessions all that kind of thing so i
would go from one town to the next and drive a good portion of the day to get there get there
and be taken out to dinner and then put on an evening presentation and then meet at somebody's
house afterwards and and, and, um,
What kind of presentations were you doing? Was this a political?
These were recruiting. These were recruiting meetings. I was,
at that time I was a coordinator for the John Birch society.
I know that scares a lot of people. They think that's a wacko organization,
but no, not me.
Well, good. Anyway, uh, they're very, good anyway uh they're very to me they're very very calm and very uh not wacko at all of course they have some wackos in there but the percentage of wackos in the
society i thought was smaller than the percentage outside of the birth society
they're gonna be everywhere yeah yeah that was the safest place to be.
But anyway, that's what I was doing.
And so I was drinking.
Everybody would want to buy me some wine,
and we'd drink wine and talk about life and the world events and so forth.
And then I'd get to bed late at night or early in the morning,
get up in the morning and drive and do that over and over again.
I came back, and I was planting some trees in my front yard and i just froze up i became paralyzed and
make a long story short i was um i had just exhausted my my physical strength
malnutrition toxic elements in my body not enough sleep and a bad mental attitude always filled with anxiety and
you know all the bad things and i hadn't realized i didn't think i had to worry about that because i was young right young people don't get sick so anyway they diagnosed it as multiple sclerosis
it turned out not to be that once i got off of my routine and started to
find out what this world was all about in terms of nutrition and rest and avoiding toxic things
in your body and in your environment and so forth i recovered rather rapidly so in retrospect it was
very good because i learned how to how to live and i probably
wouldn't be alive today if i hadn't learned that lesson early in my life at the same time i was
really pretty well stuck in bed and i didn't know i could write i i had gone to school i had learned
i'd learned about communications. I would stage plays.
I was an actor, a little child actor.
You can imagine anything worse than that.
I did a lot of radio shows.
I can imagine it being a lot worse today.
Well, I don't know.
It was pretty bad.
I was right in the middle of that.
And, you know, I was in Detroit, and we did radio in those days.
And, you know, a lot of shows came out of Detroit.
The Ford Theater and the Hermit's Cave.
And we had a Saturday show.
It was the same as Let's Pretend.
And we covered it.
Anyway, I did a lot of radio stuff.
And I went to school and took more of the same.
Television was just coming online in those days.
So I was taking courses in television and radio communications.
Let me ask you a question real quick.
Your radio, I guess that was live radio performance.
Oh, yeah.
That's really interesting stuff.
I love listening to the live things like that.
Yeah, it was.
I worked my way through college as a radio announcer for WUOM,
which was the university radio station at the University of Michigan.
And, you know, and all of that. So I was into that. So when I got sick, I thought, well, I'm
not going to be able to make a living. I couldn't get out of bed for the most part, had to practically
crawl from one room to the other. And so I got this call from a publisher and he said, Ed,
I understand you've been giving speeches on the United Nations and they're very well received.
Would you like to write a book for us on that topic? We want to publish a book and we think
you could do it. And of course, at that time, I had never written anything. And that was not my i did not identify as an author i identified as a as a
communicator on television or radio or something like that and my dream was to go to hollywood and
become a great hollywood producer in motion pictures so when this guy called me and said
how would you like to write a book that was the last thing I felt I was capable or interested in doing.
And, but I thought instantly about how while he's offering me some money and
here I am in bed,
I can't do anything else to support my family and we're running out of
money. And so I found myself saying, Oh yeah, no problem. Yeah,
sure. I could do that.
I'm in that kind of situation as well.
You know, God puts us in a position where you've got one way out, and that's it.
One way out.
Something that you would have chosen to do.
Yeah.
So I just use that as an example.
So I took on the commitment, and I started to do my hard research.
I'd done a lot of it already, but I knew that in a book, you had to document everything.
It wasn't just, you could say, well, I know this and I know that. So I did research that lasted
about probably two or three months of putting all the documents together. And then the day came when
it was time to write. And it was kind of like looking at an old movie where everybody's seen
those scenes where the author has to write
something and he's on a typewriter and he types a few lines and he pulls the paper out crushes it
and throws it on the floor and if that's no good and then this is no good i went through that
in spades all work and no play makes jack a dull boy right like the shiny to write something because
i was using a pencil we didn't have computers in those days and i
couldn't type so i was writing things out and i'd tear it up and throw it out just i couldn't how
come i can't write i can't write give me a microphone so then i'm there's a point an end
to this um so finally i said i'm just going to write mary had a little lamb i started to write
things out and first thing you know i had this idea i can't write this because how do you how do you approach a topic so huge as the this is my
book on the united nations my first book is called the fearful master a second look at the united
nations so i wrote down how can you write about something like this it's like a huge globe made of glass
so large that you couldn't grasp it in its entirety and you couldn't hold it how do you
write a book it's like having to move a mountain how do you move a mountain and then i found myself
writing well you dig and then this is my first spade.
And I looked at it and I said, well, that's kind of clever.
And the first thing I know, I extended that.
And the next few pages came pretty fast.
And by the time I got to page seven, it was roaring along.
I found out, I wound up, I looked at the wall and said, my gosh, I can write.
And I'm having fun doing
it so i use that as an example i wouldn't be here talking to you today if i hadn't had this illness
and that event that forced me forced me to make a right turn in my what i thought was my career path
and at that time i didn't think i was going to live anyway. But so it forced me to make a change that affected my whole life.
I hope for the better.
That's a great story.
We've had so many people when they lost,
they were faced with the decision, take the shot or lose your job.
And I've talked to so many people who had that crisis.
It's like, what do I do?
I've trained all my life for this.
I don't have any other alternative, but I'm not going to take that shot.
And to a man that has been, or a woman, that has been every person i've talked to about that it's been
a wonderful turning point for them and so i think your life lesson as well as a lot of other people
that's a real important life lesson i think well it is and that's why i said it's in a way i'm very
normal because what i just said although it dramatic, for me it was dramatic, everybody goes through those crises, I think.
Maybe they don't think about it as having made a big change.
And I suppose not every change in the direction is that dramatic,
but most of them or many of them are, the important ones are.
So with that as a background, I started off in one direction. All of a sudden,
I'm writing and I decided I wanted to go off on my own. I decided I wanted to do,
I wanted to reach out to a lot of people and I wanted to use my skills that I had acquired
in communications. So I decided to produce some very low budget documentary films
on important issues. And the first attempt was to write something on a documentary film on money
and inflation. And then, of course, that led me obliquely to the topic of the Federal Reserve
System. And I'm off and running now. And i had no idea how much voltage was in the wire
that i was about to grab hold of on that one yeah if i had if i had even an inkling of how
deep that topic goes and how how broad it is how many things it covers and how profound, profoundly important it is to our lives,
and our liberty, our lifestyle, everything. I would never have tackled it because it was far
beyond my reach. I'm the last person in the world to write about things like that. I'm a kid that
was a child actor, you know, and
well, that, that makes a question. How did you, you're working with the, uh, before he started writing.
Um, and before you wrote that book on the UN, you were also lecturing
about UN and other things like that.
How did you get into working for the John Birch society or how did you,
uh, begin to be skeptical about what the UN's purposes and agenda were?
Well, that's another story is similar to the one I just mentioned.
I was working for a large corporation.
I was in the corporate world.
I had found out the hard way that Hollywood wasn't waiting for me to show up.
I had gone there, and I wanted to make make my splash i wanted to get a job with some
production company and i was looking for the grand opening and it wasn't happening and i looked
around realistically and i saw that all these young people there the guys and gals had talent
superior to mine really and they were busing tables and washing cars
waiting for the big chance in hollywood and then i began to get a sense of the corruption that is in
hollywood and the the lifestyle and uh all of the evil things that were there that i didn't like at
all and it became clear that if you if you didn't tolerate those things or if I didn't like at all. And it became clear that if you didn't tolerate those things
or if you didn't participate in those things,
your chances of getting that big break were pretty small.
So I quit all that, and I went to work for a large insurance company,
and I got a job in an underwriting department
preparing group insurance plans for corporations and that kind of thing so that's that's what i was doing
when i decided to start speaking out on topics and the reason i made that change is that
i don't know who it was but somebody handed me or sent me a little blue pamphlet called the truth
about the united nations i think that was the title i thought the united nations well i'd gone
to school i've been to the university i knew all about the united nations and why it was wonderful
it was our last best hope for peace they told me and i thought it was true and so i was very much
in favor of the un and as a means of avoiding war. And about what year was that?
That was 1960.
Okay.
Maybe 1959.
Probably that pamphlet was in 1959.
Anyway, so I read the pamphlet, and I was incensed by it.
I thought, well, this is ridiculous.
I know better.
But the things it said were hard for me to believe that these people were lying.
That's how naive, you know, you come out of school, how naive can you be to think that your teachers would be lying or the people who would write books might even be lying?
It's hard for us to believe that about other people.
We want to believe the best of them and we want to think that they're like us, you know? And so we always overestimate their morals and we underestimate their technology, don't we?
We certainly do, yeah. And of course, we're trained to do that. I went to the public
school system and that was, I found out later, one of its primary objectives is to create that
attitude in the minds of the students. So they had succeeded and i i found it uh i was very
highly indignant over this pamphlet written by a college professor no less you'd expect he would
know better you know anyway one day i went down to the library in downtown los angeles it was only a
few blocks from where our corporate office was and i had some time in my hands that day so i decided to just drop into the library
i had never thought i'd go into a library again after i got out of school because i thought that
was where you punish people for doing bad things and by the way i went into the international
department i wanted to check out a few books on the topic of the United Nations, and in particular, these wars, these peacekeeping
operations as they called them, and to see if I could learn more about it and prove that
this college professor was wrong.
So I checked out a few books, and even though they were all written from the friendly perspective,
they were all friends of the UN. Many of them were either employees or former employees,
or they had positions, professional positions,
which depended on their being friendly.
A lot of, some of them were academics,
and academics, I discovered,
would never dare go against the UN.
Anyway, so I read those books,
and I recognized that they were biased.
And so that was the beginning of it,
reading their own works.
And some of them were quite frank, by the way.
I learned about the war in Katanga
with Patrice Lumumba and all.
The war on Katanga in Africa
was really an eye-opener for me.
In fact, that's how I opened my book on the United Nations.
It was with that section on what happened in Katanga.
Basically, what happened is that there was a communist revolution
in the Congo, the Katanga province of the Congo,
and the so-called colonial powers just left. There was betrayal,
I think, at the highest levels in the government. I think it was Belgium, and they just withdrew
their troops and all their law enforcement facilities and just gave the Congo over to
the communist revolutionaries. And that was hard to believe, but there was an evidence.
And so when the troops went out, there was mass slaughter going on.
And it looked like it might be racial, but it was not.
It was economic.
It was getting the colonialists out, that was the word they used,
the capitalists, get the capitalists out,
and get the socialists in power again.
So the Congo went into total chaos, blood all over the place and production stopped, the
economy crashed, people were starving, people were robbing each other.
It was total chaos.
I fear we're in America going to get somewhat like, see some of that ourselves when we make
that step toward total collectivism or socialism anyway that's what
happened and so the u.n came along as well look at this chaos we've got to put put an end to that
and everybody said yes yes that's what you're for and you're the peacekeepers right yes okay well
the peacekeepers went in and there were multiple provinces in the Congo, and they were all in total blood-drenched
chaos, except one.
The one shining exception was Katanga.
It was headed by Moishanbe.
And Moishanbe had been to some universities in London and had come to America, and he
understood the principles of free enterprise capitalism.
And he was standing firm, and his province was like it had always been, and chaos was all around them. So where did the UN send the peacekeepers? There.
There. They didn't send them anyplace else where the chaos was. They sent them where the chaos was
not. And they literally overthrew the chaos was not and they they
literally overthrew the katanga province and put it into chaos also and when i saw that documented
so clearly and in many cases by the employees and and officers of the u.n itself uh where they
bragged about doing that in their own words and when i saw that that changed my life
because it it it was a red pill you might say that i saw life the way it really was and
in one book by the the uh i think it was an irish general from ireland um i can't believe his name
anyway a big thick book on how how wonderful he was in the congo doing all these things on behalf of of
international cooperation as peace and so forth and he he's time and again said well you know
when this issue came up we lied in the press conferences as all bureaucrats do
and he was sort of like well that's the way it folks. I'm glad you're reading my book. Now you know how it works.
So Connor O'Brien, that was his name, General O'Brien.
And I realized that these people actually boast about some of the crimes they commit.
And that was my changing point right there.
And so my first interest was the United Nations.
And I did some research on it.
I took that pamphlet that I talked about a moment ago
and then my own independent research and added to it,
and that's what became the basis for my book,
The Fearful Master.
That's great.
Yeah, wonderful title as well.
That comes from a quotation attributed to george washington
i could never find an official source for it but everybody seemed to agree that it came from him
and he said government is not let's see if i get this straight government is not wisdom benevolence it is force like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master
that's great yeah whoever wrote that uh if they had it yeah they nailed it so it's absolutely
true now you were with the john birch society you're talking about how they like to paint portray
birchers as um crazy and I guess a big part of that,
I think a big part of that war against the John Burke society was coming from
William F Buckley. Talk a little bit about that. Or was, was he the,
the point man publicly, or was there, you know, other things that were happening?
No, I don't think Buckley was a point man at all.
That's an interesting observation. Uh, Buckley did, uh,
did come out publicly against the birch society and the the militant left left-wingers uh attacked the birch
society uh vehemently they called it you know fascists nazis extremists uh anti-semites wackos
you know and any of those things.
And they just kept repeating it and repeating it.
And a lot of people believed it because they read about it in their newspaper.
And, of course, it was none of those things,
but that didn't make any difference.
Perception is the important thing.
But Buckley was not from the radical left.
There were a few people like Buckley
that also jumped on the bandwagon
from what people considered to be the right wing.
Of course, we could talk about the impropriety
of thinking there's a difference between right and left later,
but I learned that the hard way, too,
that the right wing and the left wing
are merely two wings on the same ugly bird called collectivism.
That's right.
Anyway, I hadn't learned that yet.
So anyway, Buckley was one of those guys who was associated
with the so-called right wing, but they believed pretty much the same thing,
and they would attack any serious challenge to collectivism,
which is what they believed in. his big establishment i remember i was thinking that
i was trying to get polar opposites i'd read national review and i'd read the nation when
i was in college i'd read these and kind of try to figure out what's going on i didn't want to
read in time in newsweek so i want to get these opposing views and everything but then i eventually
found out they were also very much alike in many ways extremes that i wasn't you know so yeah what's the what's the supposing business business
yeah people people have to learn that lesson yet they still think especially as we are living right
now through a period of great political uh intensity they really think that the political parties
are going to be their salvation.
It's just a question, who are you going to vote for?
And it is the most important election of our lifetime.
You've had a lot of those most important elections
of your lifetime, haven't you?
You've probably heard that more than I have.
Every one of them is the most,
last chance to do what's right.
It's going to be the end of the world
if we don't get this right, yeah.
Yeah.
We've heard that so many times.
Well, so you start out with the UN and you're working with JBS.
And how did you get over to the Federal Reserve?
How did you move over to that?
I decided I had to produce some little documentaries or documentary films, as we call them today.
But back in those days, unless you had big bucks, which we didn't, you used film strips, film strip projectors.
And it was a projector where you roll a little roll of 35-millimeter film
with just still pictures on it.
I think we had 98 pictures or so.
And you click them one at a time, and it projects up on the screen.
You play the soundtrack like an LP recording on a phonograph machine.
And when it's time to change the picture,
there's a beep that comes onto the sound.
The operator turns the picture and the narration continues.
And then it's like a PowerPoint presentation with the beeps.
And so that's what we did in those days.
And I did, oh, I don don't know nine or ten of them
and i decided i wanted to do one on on inflation in the money supply i didn't know much about it
but i knew that there was something fishy going on because everybody was accusing the other guy
of being responsible for inflation everybody accused accused the farmers, they were getting too much
for their food. And the farmers said, no, we're starving. We have to eat our own food to just stay
alive. We don't make any money. It's the distributors that take all the money. And
distributors, not us, it's the truckers. And the truckers, oh, no, it's not us. It's the grocery
stores and the grocery. Oh, it's not us, it's the labor unions and so forth. And they're all,
everybody's pointing to somebody else as the cause and they were all correct in a sense that it was not them
but they didn't know who it was and there's that hidden hidden element that nobody had looked at
and so i was curious about that so i started to do research on on inflation and of course that
leads directly to the engine of inflation. And that's the Federal
Reserve System, because that's the power that creates money out of debt. And they can just
create as much money as people are willing to borrow into existence. And it's not their money,
they just create it out of nothing or worse than nothing out of debt.
So the money supply expands much faster than goods and services expand.
And therefore, the relative prices for those goods and services in terms of the expanded source of the money goes up.
It's just a very simple formula.
A high school kid that knows anything about math can figure it out but the american
people still don't understand it pretty much uh because it's it's deliberately compounded and made
to look very complicated and it's it's not so i got into that and i created a couple of banker
boxes full of research on it and i was ready to go and then then I was like, this topic is getting too big for me.
And meanwhile, I had to get on and produce some faster film strips
because I have to put groceries on the table, right?
So I put the Kemp banker boxes in my closet for now.
And then one day I got a call from a little old lady in tennis shoes from pasadena you've
heard about those ladies this was the real one and she was a widow and she obviously had some
money because she lived in a big house in pasadena and her husband had passed away of course and had
this car in the garage was probably probably about 12, 15 years old,
but I think it had like 800 miles on it.
Well, that's a little side story,
but she was a wonderful lady
and she had a monthly class that she was,
or meeting in her home on taxes.
And she'd heard that I was giving speeches
and showing film strips and so forth.
So she called me and asked me
if I would give a speech to her group
on the weekend on taxes.
And I said,
well, I don't know much about taxes,
except that they're too high,
and I'm a guinea pig.
What else can you say? The taxes
are... But I might be able to talk to your group about a hidden tax. Would that be of
interest to you?" And she said, a hidden tax? What is that? And in my supreme wisdom, I
said, well, I guess you're just going to have to retain my services so i can tell you
and she laughed she said you got me she said let's do it so all right i i committed to
to do a presentation on the federal reserve as the hidden tax and that forced me to open up my banker boxes and go through this stuff again and the second time through i was amazed at what i picked up that
i didn't catch the first time through and i became electrified by how really important this was how
many areas in our lives it reached that i hadn't really focused on so i got excited about it and
i spent some time putting together an outline i gave the presentation and it was very
well received i was happy to see and some people approached me afterwards there and they said and
that was good you ought to put that on the road well you don't you don't do that to a child actor
you say oh i'll put it on the road which i did i i ramped it got it all well organized and i called
it the crash course on money it was a one-day seminar i thought you know i could probably sell
tickets to this if i was smart enough and so i tried that and by golly it worked and i was
selling tickets and travel i put it on the road i was going from town to town to town this time I'm not doing what I did in the old days I was taking care of
myself and so we did this crash course on money and then I'm I'm probably
giving you more information than you want this is what happened at the end of
I think it was probably about the ninth or tenth seven seminar at the end of, I think it was probably about the ninth or tenth seminar,
at the end of the meeting, I was approached by another little old lady,
and she said, Mr. Griffin, and that was always a shock to me,
because here she's an elderly lady, and I'm still in my late 20s or early 30s,
and in my 30s, I guess.
She's calling me Mr. Griffin. i've always got a kick out of that
she said uh after what i've learned from you today she said i'm really concerned about what
i should do with what limited resources i have my husband passed away and he left a small stipend
and insurance and we can get along we have a small
investment in a small apartment building or two two apartments i think she said and but we're in
debt should i get out of debt should i take what we have in assets and put it in gold and silver
or should i what should i do with with my assets and i it hit me at that moment what a fraud I was
because I did not know the answer to that question.
I knew what the Federal Reserve was doing.
I knew how they created money out of debt.
I knew the impact it had on the purchasing power of money.
I knew all those things, a lot of them, not all,
but I was still learning still in those days.
But to answer the question of what she should do
to avoid the consequences of that, I had no idea.
I was a fraud, and she was expecting me to know.
And so I stopped doing the webinar,
the seminars, I should say,
and I enrolled in the College for Financial Planning,
which was a course done by a Chicago outfit,
an educational group.
It was like a CFP designation.
And it normally takes a couple of years to get it.
So I enrolled in it, and it was all by correspondence.
And then you had to go to a physical location
and take the exam.
That's an all-day exam and so forth. So I did that, and I got my CFP designation as a financial advisor.
Not because I wanted to do that. I just wanted to know how to answer this woman's question.
How do you protect your assets under these conditions? So that's what I did and then I came out of that with another realization which I would never would
have had had I not been taking that course and that is that these people were teaching bunk
I was learning bunk now they were teaching how to invest in markets that is in the best interest of the financial planners,
not in the best interest of the investors.
And that was really what it was all about.
And of course, they always said it was for the group, for the best investment, for the,
I'll get this straight yet, it's always best for the investor himself, but it was always an investment that paid a commission
to the person that recommended it or something like that.
And none of it really took into account
that the value of the money was constantly being depreciated.
They didn't really understand inflation.
Or they said, well, this has a better interest rate
and therefore better to fight inflation. But they said, well, this has a better interest rate and therefore better to fight inflation.
But they never talked about inflation itself
and what the long-term consequences might be
over 20 or 30 years for you who would do everything
they recommend, but still in 20 or 30 years,
you have zero because the dollar is zero, you know,
and things like that.
So that's when I decided, decided hey somebody ought to write a book
on this and i looked around and there were books on the topic but they were all kind of written
from the point of view of somebody who wanted to go into banking if they wanted to be a banker
the book was there on the federal reserve how how to, how to use the federal reserve,
what it's, how it works and the terminology and it was all good, but it didn't, uh,
the books didn't help the average person at all understand the, uh, the fraud
that was built in banking system.
And not even the bankers.
I had a friend of ours and I would make a remark from time to time
about the bankers. I had a friend of ours and I would make a remark from time to time about the
federal reserve.
And,
and we got together and he had his brother who was a branch manager at a
bank.
And he says,
whatever his name was,
I don't know,
it was Fred or something.
I met him once and that was it.
Uh,
but he said,
uh,
Fred,
you know,
Dave's got a lot of issues with federal reserve.
He said,
tell him about the federal reserve.
He goes,
they just,
uh,
cash checks.
They just process checks.
That's your, that's your understanding of this.
So, yeah, that was one of the most clueless people I've ever seen in terms of finance.
I mean, he wasn't even aware of the impact of, you know, setting interest rates even, for example.
You know, none of it.
Well, you see, you don't have to understand that to, to make a killing in the banking.
That's right.
All you have to do is just know how to cash checks and move the money around
and collect interest.
That's it.
Yeah, that's absolutely right.
So that's how it all started.
And so, as I said earlier, it's, it's kind of a boring story actually,
because it's the same thing over and over again,
that you'd stumble into things that you had no idea where you're headed and if i had had any sense literally any common sense
knowing what i know now i would never have tackled it because it was it was so much over
my understanding over my head i didn't know any of this well it's a good thing i didn't know because i've talked to bankers since
then and especially when i get into the topic of cancer and things like that i have no medical
background yet i'm writing a book on cancer therapy and so forth and i've had people tell me
like doctors in particular say ed you had an advantage that we didn't have. I said, what?
What do you mean an advantage?
How could that be?
You went to school.
That's the advantage.
We had to unlearn.
All you had to do was learn.
We had to unlearn first.
Oh, yeah.
Because when you go through the institutions and they teach you these things,
you believe, you become a true believer.
Oh, yeah. Trust these people. Before we leave the financial these things. You, you believe you become a true believer. Oh yeah.
Trust these people.
Before we leave the financial stuff.
I mean,
you know,
we've got a lot of people looking at what is happening now.
It looks like,
you know,
they've been kicking this can down the road for a long time.
It looks like we're getting towards the end of the rope.
They've openly talked about how they want to re-engineer the entire financial
system.
CBDC is on the horizon and all the rest of this stuff.
Um, you know, what in general, uh, is your advice to people?
I know you're not a financial advisor, financial advice, but just in general,
in terms of preparing for what is coming, what would you say to people?
I guess it depends on to whom I'm talking.
Um, because for many people, if you tell them really what's happening, I guess it depends on to whom I'm talking.
Because for many people, if you tell them really what's happening,
it's so beyond their world of understanding that they cannot believe it.
Or if they believe it, they don't understand it.
So you're wasting your time.
You have to get dependent on who you're talking to but um
i guess my the simplest way to explain it is to be totally honest
but to not be dramatic about it so let's see if i can put that together it's some pretty dramatic stuff though queued up in the yeah that being too dramatic what is happening in my view uh if it is that
the old system of money is coming to an end and that's an important fact to know because up until
now all you had to know is well what has always worked you know like should we should we invest
in gold or silver or something?
In coins?
And there could be arguments pro and con,
but the most overriding argument was it's always worked,
no matter when you look in history,
no matter what the problem was,
those that had gold and silver always came out on top.
So it's always worked that way, is a really powerful item.
But now it isn't, in my view, because the system itself is changing to the point where money will no longer even exist in the way that we think of it.
Money, the essence of money, in order for it to have any use to us,
is that we have to own it.
It's got to be our money.
It's not somebody else's money.
Because if it's somebody else's money, they can just take it back.
And we don't have it.
And this is what's changing, is the fact that,
and most people don't see this at all.
They think, well, no matter what they come up with, it'll be just like it always has been.
No, no, because there's CBCDs, the central bank digital currencies that all of the nations now are committed to adopting in the very near future, in the next decade for sure, possibly starting in the next year or two,
that quality of private ownership is gone.
Those tokens or whatever they call them,
the digital currencies,
they'll have different names,
whatever the name is,
they will be owned by the banks
and they'll be allocated to you and me and everybody else
to use as long as we have a good social credit, which means as long as we behave according
to what they think we should.
You and I are going to be pretty poor, aren't we?
We're going to be out on the street on sitting on a curb with a
tin cup asking somebody to put a coin into the tin cup but there'll be no coins there are no coins
anymore they're just digital impulses in a computer so forget the cup. And people can understand that we're actually approaching a change in
the entire system. So the rules of what you do are different now. I would say normally,
without this upcoming CBCDs that we should have a nice stockpile in gold and silver and i still say that by the way
and i have not as nice a stockpile as i would like but i have some shekels put away in gold and
silver and in food and other physical tangibles other assets that people will need and you can
use as barter but in terms of how you come out of it, okay.
And still maintain your lifestyle.
It's a different game.
And the chances are, we're not going to come out of it at anywhere close to how we went into it.
And we have to be prepared for that reality.
Nobody wants to hear that.
Yes.
And I think what we're going to get is a heavy dose of reality.
You know, it's going to be skills and it's going to be commodities and things like that that are going to be negotiable.
And, you know, it's going to be really it is going to be a reset.
And then the question is, how do we how do we cope with that?
I think, you know, in terms of people talking about a parallel society, Americans have not really had any experience like people in third world
countries have in terms of operating black markets and things like that but i guess we'll learn
pretty quickly yeah yes well even the black market has a problem with it because in order for a black
market to work you have to have money that you own you still have you go into the black market
and you have money that you can give to somebody you go into the black market and you have money
that you can give to somebody who's going to give you something or you can barter is the only thing
about it left yeah and uh that only works in your local community among people you know and trust
so it's it doesn't allow you to put gas in your car it doesn't allow you to pay your rent or to buy clothes in the big store, the big box stores or anything like that.
If we don't turn this around and prevent it, we're going to be very much like little children who are completely dependent on the state for everything.
And that includes food, shelter, health care, clothing, everything. And that includes food, shelter, healthcare, clothing,
everything.
And,
uh,
under those conditions,
most people will buckle and they'll be like,
like slaves in Egypt.
That's right.
The thing that concerns me is that this is all based on surveillance.
That is their overriding desire to know everything about us.
And what concerns me
about it is how apathetic so many people in our society are about privacy and about surveillance
and about free speech and you got people on you know across the political spectrum all these
people that are so eager about the the election and you see both of these candidates talking about
how they're going to shut people down that disagree with them. And because of that, people downstream from them
are also buying into this kind of censorship stuff. And I think if we could develop and get
back a respect for free speech and for privacy and things like that, that really has to be
fundamental as a guard against some of this
stuff, because that really is the essence of how their controls are going to run out
against us.
What do you think?
Well, you're absolutely correct.
And in other words, we have to be dealing with ideas.
And ideas, that's the basis of our war.
This is a war of ideas.
I mean, yes, they have these powerful weapons that frighten us and can be used to eliminate us,
and that's the ultimate weapon, of course.
But in the meantime, they're conquering us not with weapons.
They're conquering us with fear of weapons.
That's right.
And that fear of weapons makes us very compliant.
And, of course, if they didn't have the weapons, we wouldn't be afraid of them.
That is true.
But they could pretend like they have the weapons,
and that's often what has happened in the past, as you probably know.
In Russia, particularly, in the Soviet Union,
they would parade these huge missiles in the street on trucks.
You know, they were like 80 feet long, and these huge missiles,
like we send to the moon, or supposedly send to
the moon.
Peter Robinson Supposedly.
Peter Robinson I don't know what to think about that one.
But those weren't really missiles at all, I'm told, that they were just made of wood
and painted up and so forth.
But Americans, oh, look, they got missiles too.
And it was the fear of missiles, not the missiles themselves,
that caused us to not confront the Soviet Union
and try and make friends with them
and abandon our own interests and so forth.
It's kind of a Pimkin parade, right?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So anyway, this is new, and I guess that's my message,
that the old answers to that question
are not reliable anymore.
That's right.
But that still doesn't mean you shouldn't give them up.
I mean, you shouldn't use them, I should say,
because I think that even though we don't have money
because we're not obedient enough and they cut us down
and we did have coins,
we could probably find somebody who would take silver coins
if they're a small denomination and gold coins in return for food
or something that they have a little surplus on in their homes.
But this is not living.
This is not surviving.
This is slavery.
And I think, though, if we fall back on the fact that what's going to get us
through this one way or the other is going to be the ideas, what's going to get us through this, one way or the other, is going to be the ideas.
It's going to be the principles on which we base our life.
I think people who have a relationship with Christ are going to have a foundation that's
going to carry them through this stuff.
And it's going to be very difficult if you don't have something like that.
You are going to, if you don't have any, the sand is going to be shifting.
The earth is going to be quaking.
And if there isn't some foundation that is rock solid in your life,
and if they've got you afraid, they've got you.
And that's what we saw four years ago.
That was really panic and fear.
But that brings me to the medical stuff,
because I don't want to finish the interview
without having you talk about the book world without cancer.
I think this is really a time for people's eyes to be open to this because prior to what
happened in 2020, a lot of people were taken in by the white coats.
I remember when they first started this thing, you had a public health person come out.
I played that clip over and over again, comes out to the podium.
But before the person who's going to speak comes out to the podium but before the person
who's going to speak comes out of the podium they had uh six people come out three on each side all
them in white coats and they march out in a line and three of them stand on one side of the podium
and three of them said look at this they're just putting this in your face like we got white lab
coats we're medical and we have authority so listen to. And I think people have seen that now as a fraud.
And they have seen the self-interest in all of this stuff.
So they're open to questioning the authorities on this.
And I'm sure you must have quite a story behind A World Without Cancer
because I know they came after Laetrile and B-17 and amygdalin and all that
in a very, very heavy way.
I didn't realize that you had written this book until i interviewed john richardson at rncstore.com and and um when he
was talking about the books that they have there and about your book especially uh i that's one of
the main reasons i wanted to get you on because this is so key and it is a time that people are
ripe to hear this message tell us a little bit about that, how you got into it.
Well, there you go again.
How did I get into it?
Well, John Richardson Sr., Dr. Richardson, and I were very close friends.
In fact, we had both worked together on projects in the Burt Society.
And he put up some money to open up a little bookstore in the San Francisco area.
And that's where I got involved because I was with the Burt Society in those days.
But we soon developed a personal friendship that went well beyond that.
And it got to the point where after a while,
we want to get away from the regular routine of our daily lives.
We'd like to get away from town, go out in the countryside and tell people we're going fishing or something like that.
But we just go out and talk and do some hiking in the hills.
And one day, we're out doing that, and Dr. John says to me,
Ed, I need your help.
I need your, he had, he took his briefcase with him on that trip I thought was strange.
And he opened up his briefcase and pulled out some papers and fumbled through them.
He says, I'm trying to write an article for the local newspaper or magazine, and I need your help writing.
Could you help me?
I said, well, sure, of course.'s what i do you're you're the doctor if i get sick you help me i'm the writer
and if you're silly enough to ask me i'll help you with the writing and uh so he said well i asked
him i said what is it well i'm in trouble with the local medical association. They're threatening to take away my license. I said, what did you do?
You know, like a typical, what did you do wrong?
Well, what I'm doing wrong is I'm saving lives.
Oh, this was, this was.
And now we've seen that story over and over again.
People are ready to hear this and understand what's behind it.
I said, what do you mean? So naturally he told me the story he says he said i'm an eye ear nose and
throat specialist as you know but i've been getting people with cancer and throughout their body is
systemic and um they want me to treat them because they hear that i've got something that works
and i said well do you he says do. Well, tell me about it.
So that's how the whole thing started.
He said, well, I found out there's a substance
that's found in nature that I didn't believe in at first,
but my office manager convinced me to look into it,
so I did.
This is a substance that occurs in nature,
and if you eat it, it turns out to be a natural control or prevention, a natural resistance against cancer.
I said, how can that be?
He said, well, I'm not sure how it can be, but I know that it works.
So he told me the story of this amygdalin, or laetrile is the more popular name for it, that's found in some 1,200 edible plants, actually.
But anyway, it's primarily found for commercial purposes
in apricot seeds and peach seeds.
And any fruit in the rosacea family
has this stuff called amygdalin in it.
It's bitter to the taste.
And that's why most people in the Western world
or in affluent societies
don't like to eat foods that have this substance in it because it's bitter if you've ever bitten
into an apple seed you know what i'm talking about that's this that's the flavor and he said that
stuff in low quantities is um it is a net it looks like it's a natural control for cancer
and he told me this story.
This gets interesting in the details.
He had a dog that had cancer,
and he was about to put the dog down because he tried chemotherapy
and everything else on the dog that the doctors do,
and it wasn't working.
In fact, the dog was getting sicker.
When he heard about this, he says,
I decided to use this substance on the dog. He said, blow me down. The dog got getting sicker. And when he heard about this, he says, I decided to use this substance on the dog.
And he said, blow me down.
The dog got well real fast.
I couldn't believe it.
I'd never seen that happen before.
And then the next part of the story is that he said his nurse came to him, his head nurse,
whose husband had terminal cancer.
And she said, Dr. John, you know, my husband is not going to last very much longer.
And I saw what happened to the dog.
Would you please do that for my husband?
And he said, well, sure, I'd be glad to,
but don't tell anybody because it's not approved, you know,
for human use.
And he tried it on her husband and he got well. This is how it all started.
And so John said, I started using it very, very cautiously and very low dosages and very
suspiciously, making sure that I was not risking anybody's life, using it only on people who
really had terminal cancer to start off with. And he said, I was getting way, way better results than anybody I know.
But the word got out.
He said, I never advertised it, never talked much about it,
because I knew what the establishment would say about it.
It was quackery or something like that.
But the word got out, because these patients that are dancing out of the office when they came in on a gurney, they talk about it.
And so patients started coming to his clinic.
And it was no longer by this time an eye, ear, nose, and throat clinic.
It was a cancer clinic.
And people were coming from all over the world.
And I didn't know that at that time.
So that's the story he told me. And he said now now the medical profession has found out about it and they
threatened me that if i don't stop this immediately they're going to take my license
he said i need to tell the story would you help me write it i said sure that sounds interesting
i thought it would be a three-day project,
just to read about it a little bit
and ask a few questions and then just write it up.
But it turned out to be, I don't know,
a three-year project.
Yeah, something like that.
And it changed my life.
It just changed my life.
I wouldn't be here today if i hadn't
learned about that because it it made me realize
that almost everything that we think we know that is really important in our lives is a lie. When I realized that money
was a lie, and now I found out that cancer treatments were a lie, what's more important
than that? So that changed my life. And in my own family, I've seen,
we have some members of our family that are alive
because of the treatments.
So I wrote the book.
It took me quite a while.
I sat at the feet of listening to the great scientists
and doctors who really knew about this stuff.
Dr. Richardson was very open about it.
And, of course, I met the originator of this whole treatment,
who was Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., who was the inventor of all that.
Well, not the inventor, but the discoverer of it,
the chemical pioneer in using it for cancer.
And I sat in his office many, many an hour.
He's a portly gentleman. He would sit back sit back and he put his fingers together and said well let me think about that for a moment and then
he'd go off how did he discover it how did he discover it well uh okay his father was a doctor
an md he was not an md doctor he had his PhD degree from some smaller uh institution which
they like to hold it against him because it wasn't from it wasn't from Harvard or something like that
he was a PhD but his doctor was a pioneer in that so his doctor and he his father and he worked together on all kinds of herbal um uh constructions from nature because
they had already discovered in their minds that nature has the cure not the test tube yes so
that's where they were experimenting and they they found that the use of laetrile or the substance
now there's this whole big story behind it, so that's what the book was about.
I'll just give you one quick example.
One of the clues to this was the fact that in the Midwest,
it was quite common for farmers to see that their cows would develop cancers of the mouth and lips and so forth,
and other parts of their bodies in the wintertime.
But they would usually go away in the spring
and they said why is that there must be something about the weather you know well then they got to
observing that it happened shortly after the green sprouts came up through the snow in the spring
when the snow started to melt and the first greens grasses started to come up through the snow and
the cows would eat the green grasses.
And it turns out these broad-leaf grasses are very rich sources of amygdalin.
So that was the kind of clues that they had,
how they discovered this is by scientific method.
And so anyway, that's how it started.
And so John asked me to help him write the article, and I did, and that led to it started. And, uh, so John asked me to, uh, help him write the article.
And I did.
And that led to the book and,
and,
and then what happened?
I bet they,
I bet that was a hornet's nest.
When we look at what happened in the last few years,
if anybody comes up with any treatment other than the one that they've
decided they're going to sell you,
they come after you in every way.
We've seen that with ivermectin,
HQ,
anything else that
anybody comes up with and so everybody this has been on public display now but you live this i
guess the book was written in 1970 you've done an update i think in 2010 or something like that
yeah but you know this is back in 60s i guess where this was happening but you know when you
were publishing it so what happened uh after you published this? What was the firestorm?
Well, that's an interesting story.
I published it and we sold it as a little,
I had a little publishing company by then, American Media,
and we had a very brisk sale on it.
And I went to a book convention in San Francisco shortly after the book was published.
That's where all the biggies came, these big exhibits half a block wide.
And let's see, which one was it?
It was the little pocket books.
Bantam, Bantam.
Bantam was there.
And I thought, well, maybe we could convince Bantam to reprint this and put it on the
big market so it just so happened on the morning of the first day the president of bantam was there
on the floor when i was there and i saw this cluster of people around him so i thought i'll
get in line so i did and and so I went up, shook his hand.
I said, I'll make this short, Mr. Smith, or whatever his name was.
I said, we have this book here on Laetrile and it's curing cancer.
You probably have heard about it in the newspapers.
There's a big controversy over it.
And I'd like to give you a copy and see if it sounds like it's something that Bantam would like to run with.
So he gave it to his assistant who was standing next to
him and he said yeah we'll look at this well they called me later in the afternoon and they wanted
to have dinner with me and they wanted to talk to me about printing the book so make a long story
short we did we signed the contract wow we got bantam to publish our book and they put it out
they made it they had a special name for
it was a special edition that they can produce a book in i think it's 48 hours something like that
wow and they just work around the clock they have teams of people and they work 24 hours to get the
thing out in in uh 48 hours or something like that and they they did that with this book. And it went on the book stand
and it was selling like hotcakes.
And then all of a sudden
we got this message that
it's out of print.
Nobody can get the book. It's out of print.
And so we checked it out.
Sure enough, it's out of print. How come it's out of print?
And I called the publisher
and they said, well, there's no demand for it.
Nobody wants it. There's no demand. The well, there's no demand for it. What do you mean there's no demand?
The bookstores are clamoring for it.
Well, our statistics show there's no demand for it.
Well, we couldn't convince them otherwise.
They just didn't want to reprint it.
So it was clear that somebody on the board of directors at Bantam got the word, hey, you guys made a big mistake.
You published the wrong book.
And so we were we were
clamped out we had one printing and that was it it was glorious for a few weeks but after that it was a deader than a doornail story of my life you talk about the pharmaceutical companies they
come after you and they get you shut down uh yeah, yeah, it is, uh, it is amazing. But again,
you know, people can find that at rncstore.com. Um, I know that he, he sells it there and, uh,
very important for people to take control of their life, to question what they have been taught
and, uh, to think critically. And that really has been the story of your life. I think
questioning what, um, uh, a lot of people just accept as fact.
And you have done your research, and you gave people your opinion.
And I think when their response is to just shut things down,
that's something of an endorsement of your research, I think,
when their only response is to censor you.
Yeah, in sort of a backward way. That's a pretty good recommendation.
Yeah.
It depends.
I've been, I've been censored by the best.
That's right.
Well, tell us about the red, uh, red pill university and the red expo, which is
coming up November 16th through 17th.
Right.
Tell us a little bit about it.
Yes.
That's a big flagship event.
We started the red pill expos in 2017 and they've
been just roaring successes we were very skeptical about it at first because you know the red pill
meme in case there's anybody listening that doesn't know what that means it's a based on a
sci-fi movie it's about 21 years ago now called Matrix. And the whole theme of the story was that humans were now living in a fantasy world.
They were all wired up to machines, and they were dreaming about their lives.
They weren't really living them.
And they thought they were going to work every day.
They thought they were raising a family, going on vacation, eating meals, and so forth.
But it was all programmed into their minds.
And they were controlled by the matrix.
That's what they called it.
It was this computerized reality.
And the only way to get out of that was to take the red pill.
There was the blue pill, which you could take if you chose to,
which would put you back into the illusion.
But to get out of the illusion, you had to take the red pill.
And it turns out that many people chose the blue pill because it was more comfortable.
They'd rather not know that they were wired up to a machine.
They'd rather think that they were living a normal life.
It was more pleasant than knowing that you had
to fight the matrix to exist so it was kind of a good parallel to the reality so we thought we
would call this the red pill expo and deal with topics like that that we wanted to expose the
reality and that's underneath the the illusions and as i said a moment ago, it seems like the more important something is,
the more likely it is that we are in illusions about it,
because it's to somebody's best interest to do that to us.
They profit from our naivety and our false beliefs.
Now, where can people go to get this?
You've got redpoll.org?
Well, yeah.
We have done physical events from the
beginning and they were very well attended and very successful but this time around we've decided
to go 100 live stream primarily so that we can cut expenses on the overall production and make
the event absolutely free instead of having to charge tickets for it because we want this is not
about money it's about getting the word out so that's what we're doing this time and uh it's working pretty well we're very
impressed by the response but we want as many people this is globally now around the world
to sign up for it and you can find all the information who's going to be speaking what the
events are what the topics are and a lot of insights as to the themes and so forth
on redpillexpo.org.
Okay.
redpillexpo.org.
So sign up.
It's free.
And we do have an option for those that want to come in on a VIP basis that gets some extra
goodies if they want to do that.
Like they can ask questions of the speakers and, uh, we've got
a raffle going on and all that kind of thing.
It would be nice to be able to pay the bills, but we want this free if necessary to anybody
that can't afford 10 or $20 or whatever it is as a donation.
It's free.
That's what our goal is.
You see.
Good.
And one other question I've got about, I see that you've got a new book coming out.
It's coming up. How it's called the chasm the issue behind all issues when is that coming out well the latter part is a tough one uh yes i do have a new book it's been coming out
it's been coming out ever since the day after 9 11 actually oh okay that's that's what i started
that's when i started to write it the day after 9 11 that was uh
you talk about a red pill yeah oh yeah and um but the the whole purpose of the of the book
is to provide historical support for the fact that our war today that we're in is a war of ideas.
It's an ideological war, and it's not between the left and the right.
It's not between the Republicans and the Democrats
or the liberals and the conservatives or the Nazis or the communists
or the socialists or all of these labels that we've been given to worry about.
It's not the Masons. It's not the masons it's not the catholics it's not the jews it's not the black people it's not the christians it's not the muslims
all these divisions they want to get us focused on you know it's not about any of that those all
little subsections play a part in it, but the overriding, controlling, dominating force
behind it all is an idea. And it's a conflict of ideas, I should say, between something
called collectivism and individualism. I found out in my research that those words were well
known and used quite extensively 100 hundred years ago you find them
in the old books and in old newspapers too but modern no it's all been scrubbed and for good
reason because those two words as strange as they are to the ears of most people today are fully
describing the conflict between left and right and all these things we mentioned before.
When you peel off the labels, you find it's collectivism versus individualism.
And so what is that?
How do you define that?
And that's what this booklet is all about, is I took all the issues in the big book that
I'm working on to illustrate support for these principles.
I've taken just the principles themselves
and put them into a 50-page document.
And I'm giving them away free because I'm afraid
I'm not going to live long enough
to get this bloody book finished,
although I'm making progress.
I want to get these principles out now.
So about 10 months ago,
we made this little booklet here. This is 50 pages. Yeah, it's the
chasm, collectivism versus individualism. And it's everything I have learned about those two topics.
It's all there in type. And we got some good illustrations. You can see those in the back
that sort of illustrate the points that we're making. I think I have found very few,
very few open-minded people,
and that's hard to define,
but very few people who I would have considered
to be on the other side politically
from my position,
that after reading this
and going over these principles,
doesn't come to the point
where they say,
hmm, hmm,
I guess I've been an individualist all
along and didn't know it it's that simple it's that clear we get to thinking of well let me back
up the mantra of collectivism is this the individual must be sacrificed.
Fully stated, it is,
the group is more important than the individual.
And the individual must be sacrificed, if necessary,
for the greater good of the greater number.
Boy, didn't we see that with public health and all the rest of the stuff?
We see that with everything.
Yeah, I know.
We see that with everything.
That's a good example,
because they don't care about individual health, right?
No.
We don't really care if you've had any issues with any of this.
You're going to do it for the public health, for the public good.
Everybody's going to have to do this.
And I talk about that bureaucracy, the public education,
and once they start talking about that,
it is the collectivism that is there.
You find this issue underneath all of them. That's why I say this is the issue behind
all issues, literally. And look at Pearl Harbor, look at 9-11, look at COVID, look at everything.
I don't care what it is. You'll find that collectivism is the answer what makes all of that seem justified yes lennon put it this
way vladimir ilich lenin said if you want to make an omelet you have to crack some eggs
and now it could be said many different ways but the greatest insults of history, the greatest outrages of history have been
justified with this mantra. President Roosevelt and his team justified withholding information
from American commanders on Pearl Harbor so that they were literally surprised by the Japanese attack.
And they justified that,
and they justified keeping the information unknown to the American people because it was a mark of statesmanship.
It was a means of bringing about a greater good
because it was necessary to convince the American people
that we needed to get into World War II as
quickly as possible so that we can sit at the peace table afterwards and when we do
re-divide the world and we'll make it a better world. And we probably would save millions
of American lives too, because the Japanese surely would have come over and bombed our
cities and so forth. And you know, the average American said, oh oh yeah i guess i guess the 4 000 sailors
we killed deliberately in pearl harbor was worth it because it's the greater good of the greater
number you know everything everything that happens in this world that's horrible is justified by the
perpetrators on the mantra of collectivism yes and it's time to recognize that it's time to
break that that hypnosis that that idea has over us i learned that in school they taught me that
the greater good for the greater number was the ideal political position and most people still
think it is yes oh boy we saw it in space didn't we absolutely amazing yeah
and and i think you're spot on with that and so many other things it's so interesting to talk to
you and uh so many important insights throughout your life and uh your work has been very valuable
to so many people and um and i haven't read uh the um Without Cancer, but that's my intention to read that.
That's very, very important, especially when we look at the last four years,
how the veil has been pulled back on what the pharmaceutical industry
and what the government supposedly oversight people are doing for the greater good.
You know, people die miserably, and it's like, well, it's rare.
It doesn't matter, right?
It's for the better good, for the greater good, the common good.
So we're going to approve this drug that is out there.
Thank you so much for joining us.
And again, it's redpilluniversity.org, but you have redexpo.org.
Is that the one where people go for the Red Expo that's coming up?
What is the website?
Well, it's redpilexpo.org.
Redpilexpo.org.
Okay.
Yeah, redpilexpo.org.
If you go there, you'll see who we have as the upcoming speakers.
We still have three or four that we haven't put on the page yet.
They're all dynamite.
These people all have a red pill to share with you,
and they're all really, really important.
So it'll be two days i mean
to be prepared to be blown away by information like this that's great it'll change it'll change
your life that's great thank you so much for joining us g edward griffin it's been a great
pleasure talking to you thank you thank you david i really appreciate it and it's good to see you
again on the screen and uh we'll be talking later thank Thank you very much. All right, bye-bye. Well, what an inspiration G. Edward Griffin is.
A real critical thinker, a visionary,
a man with the courage to go wherever the truth leads him.
And again, landmark books,
The UN, A Fearful Master,
Creature from Jekyll Island, A World Without Cancer.
And of course, the Red Pill Expo that is coming up.
Thank you for joining us.
Have a good day. Thank you. L'artiste de la chanson Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon joining us now is katherine austin fitz always a pleasure to have her of course her website is
solari.com always a pleasure to have her here keen insights about everything and of course coming up we're going to talk about hijacking
bitcoin and roger ver as we all know people call him bitcoin jesus and we look at the way that they
have uh railroaded him but he also wrote about hijacking bitcoin um when i had aaron day on we
we mentioned it a little bit but uh k has gone into a great depth with that.
They did a review of the book, and she's now published her interview with him that you can find on slurry.com.
It's with Steve Patterson, the co-author.
Oh, okay, that's right.
Yeah, because Vera's got a bit of a problem now, I guess, doing interviews with the government on his back.
And I don't know if he's in prison now or not, yeah the co-author we did an interview with steve and it's
excellent i mean if you really want to understand what's going on in bitcoin it's absolutely
excellent and it's we made it public because this was one that the subscribers wanted to send on to
their network oh that's great it's public there's kind of salari and you can get the the book review
you can get a link to an article i wrote on why the Bitcoin reserve fraud is a scam, basically.
And you can get the interview and send all of those on.
So if you want to understand sort of the current baseball on Bitcoin, it's all there.
And we're going to talk a little bit about that.
I want to get your take on what's going on with crypto and the new Trump administration,
where this is all headed, the tokenization, the securitization that is out there.
And we want to talk about that.
But when I got you on, I'd just been talking about marriage and family and how that is
all unraveling here in America.
And you said, I'd like to say something about what I've observed with men and women in various
fields that you've worked in.
Tell us a little bit about that.
So I'm really glad you brought this up
because I think there is nothing more important.
The way control is instituted is through divide and conquer.
And the most important divide and conquer
is turning men and women against each other.
Yes.
And then it's turning the generations against each other.
And if we can turn that around,
we dramatically exponentially increase our power. And I think that's part of
what I was hearing you saying is your understanding of that. But I wanted to tell you sort of my
background. So many years ago when I was, I went to my first few years of college and then I studied
Chinese in a Hong Kong for a year. And I came back as a transfer student to the University of
Pennsylvania and got a job working first as a busboy, then as a waitress, and then I got
promoted up to be a bartender. And it was in a French restaurant next to the University of
Pennsylvania. And it was a two-person bar. And my tips and gross were so much bigger than everybody
else's that the owner of the restaurant, who's a very meritocrat, I was the only woman, he decided
to make me bar manager because whatever I was doing, it made a lot meritocracy i was the only woman he decided to make me bar manager because i
i whatever i was doing it made a lot more money for the house anyway so um the bartenders went
on strike because they didn't want to work for a woman and so they went to the owner who was a very
he was a very interesting guy and they said we're going to strike and he said it's not my problem
she's the bar manager go tell her it's her problem so they came came to see me, and I said, why are you going to strike?
They said, we don't want to work for you because we think you're going to feminize the bar.
And I said, well, I am, but you're going to make a lot more money.
So anyway, long and short of it, everybody stayed except for the strike leader.
And so for the next two months, made the changes that that i wanted to
make but one of my rules was there had to be a man and a woman you needed it it was a two-person bar
and you had to have a man and a woman anyway but sometimes we you know we couldn't get a man we
couldn't get a woman it was so sometimes we'd end up with two women sometimes we'd end up with two
men but i have very detailed records of how the bar performed and how the fits performed.
So here's what we learned after, you know, about six months.
If I had two women, if I had two men on the bar, the house made X,
and the bartenders made 10% of that, so 0.1x. Okay? If I had two women, the house made 1.5x, and the bartenders made 0.15x.
So 50% better two women than two men.
If I had a man and a woman, the house made 2x, and the bartenders made 0.2x.
So literally, if you were a man and I put you on with another man, you made half as much that evening as if I put you on with another woman.
I mean, literally.
And it was very interesting.
Two months later, I was down in the wine cellar doing the wine order, and the former deputy strike leader came down screaming at me.
It was a Thursday night, which is our biggest night.
How dare you put me on with another man?
You're going to cut my tips in half.
And I looked at him and I said, I couldn't get another one.
I just couldn't get another woman.
But do you see the irony in this?
Well, what did you take on?
What do you think was behind that?
Well, let me keep going.
So many years later, when I started Hamilton Securities, it was an investment bank in Washington.
And one of the things we did, we thought with new technology, we could radically reduce the number of people that it took to bank and market a deal.
And we literally had two people running each deal.
One was sort of the, so go back to the James Bond movies.
One was the James Bond person who was going to do the deal. One was sort of the, so go back to the James Bond movies. One was the James Bond
person who was going to do the deal. The other was the Q person who was going to build and capture
all the tools, right? So you needed, you needed a tool and software and intellectual capital
engineer, and then you needed a deal doer. So we always had two people who were kind of running
the deal. So I kept the same records on, and we had a rule
that unless we could make 10 times for the client, what we could make for ourselves,
you know, we didn't want to do the deal. So we felt we needed to get at least a multiple of 10.
Anyway, so we track what the client made and we track what we would make. Well, it turned out to
be almost the same as the bar business with a twist.
You just had to, so if I had two women on the deal, the client would make 10x and we'd make x.
If I had two men, the client would make 15x and we'd make 1.5x.
So it was the opposite of the bar business.
Men were better at transactions than client customer service, you know, in the bar.
So when it came to relationships, it appeared that women were better.
When it came to deals, men were better.
But if I had a man and a woman, then the client made 20x and we made 2x.
So it was the same thing.
Now, here was the interesting thing.
Both initially at the bar and certainly at the investment bank. The men always wanted to work with other men and the women always wanted to work with other women. So I had to be a dictator.
It's like, no, you're going to go get a man or you'll be fired. That's how it is. But here's
what I saw. And it wasn't sexual so much as energetic. There is something, you know, men and women are very different.
And I don't know if you remember that Mel Gibson movie where he says, yeah, women have 5% more water.
But, you know, whatever the difference is, if you're going to deal in a human situation and, you know, a big business situation with what's going on, a man and a woman team
are going to know more, see more, understand more.
They're going to see things that the woman, the man's going to see things the woman won't see,
the woman's going to see things. And what you realize in a family,
after going through those two experiences, I realized
trying to have a family with two men or a family with two women, it's just not the same.
There is a wholeness in terms of seeing the world, understanding the world, managing risk, understanding, you know, a lot of times in my experience as an investment advisor, the women understood the living equity
issues and the men understood the financial equity issues and you needed both to integrate
and do both. The other thing I discovered, I saw it with financial fraud because I had so many
jobs sort of cleaning couples up who'd been hurt by financial fraud or health care fraud.
What I discovered is I can trick a man or I can trick a woman,
but it is almost impossible to trick a man and woman working together.
I used to have so many women who would tell me,
look, my husband does the finances.
I don't want to be involved.
I don't like it.
And I would say, no, you have to be involved. You have to be involved because the family has
to integrate the financial equity issues with the living equity issues. But the other thing is,
he's going to get tricked. You know, he's going to get tricked and it's going to be your fault.
So you get involved because you know, you need both. That's right. I, you know, at the end of
the day, I can't explain it.
What I will tell you is there's a magic.
There's a magic to it that is really divine.
Well, yeah, exactly.
A lot of people call it complementarianism, right?
The fact that men and women complement each other.
And they're in complementary roles.
And we complete each other.
And we have different perspectives.
And we perceive things very differently, which is what you saw with all right but it is real easy to uh
you know to back up and say oh it's too much work to work with a guy i'm just going to get
another woman it'll be so easy and you know there'll be a lot less controversy
that's a really fascinating insight that's amazing yeah. Yeah. Let's talk a little bit.
What would you like to go next? I mean, I would like to talk about the Bitcoin stuff. Is there
anything else? Let's talk about the Bitcoin stuff because I've, you know, I've had an interesting
history. I worked very hard in 2017. I did a very serious due diligence as an investment advisor.
My clients kept asking me about Bitcoin, and I said, okay.
And I called up a very dear friend of mine who has a Ph.D. from MIT and used to run research at one of the big Silicon Valley companies.
And he's the smartest guy I know, and I said, I need your help.
You know, we need to, I need to do a serious due diligence on this,
and I need somebody with a strong technology background.
So we spent like 100 hours working on this he did 100 because we did a lot of research separate
and then we come together and finally i i really felt like i understood but i took all my final
questions and i flew to baltimore and had a three-hour lunch with bill binney and just grilled
him on all my questions and i came away feeling I had a very good understanding of Bitcoin.
Anyway, but since then, every time I talk to somebody who's a Bitcoin enthusiast,
they say, you don't understand Bitcoin.
And I say, well, what aspect is it you think I don't understand?
Is it I don't understand the exchanges and how they work?
I don't understand the custodian issues. I don't understand. Is it, I don't understand the exchanges and how they work. I don't understand the custodian issues.
I don't understand the technology.
I don't understand, you know, how the market works.
I don't understand the regular, what specifically is it you think I don't understand?
And what I discover is I don't understand the religious faith that comes with me.
You're a Bitcoin denier.
You're a denier.
No, it's like a religion. And I don't get the religion. like you're a bitcoin denier you're a denier no it's it's it's like a religion
and i don't get the religion and you're right i don't get the religion anyway so so this has
gone on for years with people telling me uh i don't get bitcoin but they won't be specific
about what that means or what i might read or study that would educate me some more. Anyway, but one of our subscribers posted on Solari a couple months ago,
you've got to read this new book,
Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver and Steve Patterson.
And so our subscribers usually have very good intelligence
and very good recommendations.
So I immediately got the book, read it.
And I cannot say enough good things about this book.
It is so beautifully written.
It is so clear and coherent.
It's very rare to read a book I found on Bitcoin or crypto that's really coherent and accessible to a financial professional who's not a technologist.
Anyway.
Let me interject here and say, you know, it's interesting because you're talking about Roger Ver and they call him Bitcoin Jesus because he was an evangelist for it.
I mean, we're talking about the religious aspect of it and everything.
So, you know, where is he now?
Has he lost his faith or has it been strengthened and all of this stuff?
So here's and I have to tell you, I'm very impressed with Roger and his work and Steve and his work, and Steve and his work. And, you know, Bitcoin started out as a design that, when it began,
it was really a pilot program for a global payment system that had potential.
It had potential to turn into something pretty wonderful.
But it didn't.
It literally got hijacked.
If you look at the Who Controls Bitcoin, it's a very small group of people.
And they were able to limit its liquidity in a way that made it very useful for pumping and dumping.
It's very useful for speculation, but it's not useful as a payment system.
It's very, very illiquid.
And of course, it's still an immature industry. So if you look at the custodial issues
and the fraud issues,
it's a very unregulated
sort of wild west market.
The FBI says 5.6 billion reported losses
in crypto reported to them in 2023.
I had a listener,
let me just interject,
I had a listener who said,
yeah, it reminds me very much
of the NFT stuff, right?
You know, when they were selling NFTs.
And, you know, that was and that's kind of what I think they did with Bitcoin in a sense.
You know, they took something that was designed to be a currency and they started turning it into essentially an NFT.
Well, they've been playing a pump and dump game with it.
And there's a lot of serious talent and money behind that pump and dump.
And anyway, so I read Hijacking Bitcoin and I wrote a review of it.
If you just go to Solera, you can get that.
And I just did an interview, which we published yesterday with Steve Patterson,
which really helps you understand sort of the evolution.
Now, what happened to Roger, he saw the potential.
And one of the delightful things about this book is it took me back to when I was at Hamilton
Securities and I realized the potential for digital money and creating our own currencies.
I got really excited and we invented a product called Just-In-Time Money. And I remember those
days when we just thought, and I tell this story in the book review, Eric Hughes
was the software developer who hacked Clipper Chip
which was Al Gore's thing to control the internet
and anyway, so Eric came to Hamilton and Eric and I spent
a whole day with literally the whole firm working on inventing Just In Time Money
and it was so heady
because we saw the potential for what decentralized
or something like a cryptocurrency could be.
Anyway, and when you read Roger and Steve's book, you get back that
enthusiasm of what is theoretically possible.
It's easy after you've watched the pumping and dumping
and the tremendous crime around these things that are going on
and all the lies and disinformation.
It's easy to get jaundiced.
And I love the fact that sort of Roger and Steve got me back in that mood of,
you know, there's a new world possible there really is anyway yeah so so
what happened was this book makes very clear something else um and it's it's very highly
documented very heavily footnote it's a very serious treatment um there there i am absolutely
sure that there is significant counterfeiting of Bitcoin.
Part of the power of Bitcoin was supposed to be you could only create $21 million.
But now what Roger and Steve document, the creation, is called an inflation bug.
And now their reports, not just of the one they reported, but of inflation bugs since,
I'm absolutely convinced with the inflation bugs they can counterfeit.
But now that they're doing the ETFs with BlackRock,
you know, I did a deep dive on precious metal ETFs.
Let me tell you, the counterfeiting was real.
Oh, yeah.
Collateral, you know, collateral fraud,
the financial system we have does collateral fraud every time they have a chance. You know, it's kind of like, you know, like not asking a dog to go eat meat.
They just do it every time.
Anyway, so I think the kind of –
It's like they've got their company called Securitize because they were securitizing things and creating derivatives.
And, of course, when you talk about, you know, derivatives of gold and silver, things like paper gold and paper silver which i i didn't really
understand naively everybody thinks well they've got some gold and they're now going to sell it to
you the tenth of the price or whatever i didn't realize that that was a derivative film you
started seeing changes in the price of gold and you could see that that it didn't track the spot
price of gold it was completely uh divorced from it. And so that was a key tip.
And then all our research is like, oh, now I get it.
You know, this is another derivative.
Here we go.
So right after, so this book makes very clear
that the official story on Bitcoin is not true.
You know, what you've got is you've got a pump and dump tool.
It has no fundamental utilitarian purpose other you've got a pump and dump tool. It has no fundamental
utilitarian purpose other than it's a pump and dump tool. And, and of course, with the pump and
dump tool, if you have enough backing for you can make a fortune. You know, and people have been so
but but also that it's not limited to 21 million Bitcoin. Now, they don't come out and say that
in document, but based on what they what I've read about inflation bugs in their book and and since and what i know about etfs
the counterfeiting is on so so bitcoin is basically a speculation and it's rooted in nothing
other than the belief that you can get you know 10 more people to come in tomorrow and buy in. Ponzi scheme.
It's basically a tool of bald mania.
Yeah.
And it would have some value if it was a successful global payment system,
but it's never become that,
and it's highly unlikely that it's going to become that.
So this thing is only as good as sort of the scam.
Now, let's go back. If you look at what's going on in the economy, David, here's what's going on in the
economy. We did a tremendous amount of work this year on plunder capitalism and land grabs and the
techniques used to do land grabs. Now, we've spent decades now creating more and more debt, more and
more debt, more and more debt, more and more paper.
The game of musical chairs is over.
The music has stopped.
And now everybody's racing to grab the real assets.
Okay?
And that's now, if you want the real assets, who's got the real assets?
Howard Lutkin just gave an interview, you know, is the nominee for Secretary of Commerce and had been in competition for Secretary of Treasury, where he said, don't worry about the debt.
You know, the debt's $36 trillion.
The U.S. balance sheet has $500 trillion of land and mineral resources.
And that's true.
Okay?
Yeah. In the last Trump administration, the U.S. Geological Survey started doing a survey of all the land and mineral resources of North America, including what the government owns.
And if you look at the state governments, you have a small number of people
who have a tremendous amount of Bitcoin.
They can't possibly get out at the current situation.
You know, they can't get their money out
without crashing the market.
Right, right.
Now, what do they want?
They want real assets.
So what you want to do is you want to swap your Bitcoin
for land, for real estate, for precious metals,
for real businesses you want real
assets so how do you get out of your bitcoin and get into the real assets well it's real simple
you get the government to buy your bitcoin and you get the government to sell its land right
pretty simple so you want them to get they have the real and you have the unreal so you flip in
the unreal and you get the real so what you flip in the unreal and you get the real.
So what's being proposed?
What's being proposed is the government announced long-term buying programs to buy Bitcoin.
So the federal government buy Bitcoin, the states buy Bitcoin.
If you announce a long-term buying program in a highly illiquid market,
you're going to send the price to the moon,
and all the guys who started and built this speculation can sell into that.
Okay?
And not only can they sell their 21 million Bitcoin, they can sell more than their 21 million Bitcoin, right?
I think there's counterfeit.
Okay.
You've got to be careful that you're not their exit strategy, right?
Get into this.
Well, but where's the government going to get that money all the
people who don't want to go into the marketplace and buy want to buy bitcoin the government is
going to sell bonds to their retirement funds the money's going to come out of their retirement funds
and go into bitcoin you know held in the treasury the state or federal government treasury
so you're going to you're going to take from the poor and give to the rich,
or you're going to take from the middle class and give to the rich.
Now, if the oil industry said we want the government
to start long-term buying of our oil,
or the agriculture industry said we want long-term buying of our agriculture,
or the pharmaceuticals said we want the government
long-term buying of our pharmaceuticals, we would we want the government long-term buying of
our pharmaceuticals we would all know what that's about right yeah but for some reason when the
bitcoin enthusiasts say the vast majority of people don't want to buy our bitcoin so we want
to have government mandate to make them buy our bitcoin with their retirement savings
that's about as ugly as it gets and it's very ugly because if
you look at how much money those guys poured into donations and they're basically saying we can
bribe the politicians and get them to use your retirement savings to buy bitcoin because you
won't you won't buy it so we're going to make you buy it and that's h.o minkin said an election is
an advanced auction of stolen goods i quote that all time, and that is really what we're looking at here, isn't it?
But let's look at a chart.
I want you to go back to the Going Direct Reset,
which was reviewed by the central bankers in August of 2019.
If we do a chart of the U.S. stock market,
what we see is the U.S stock market is up you know over 100 since
that date and the treasury if we take the 20-year treasury etf it's down by 35 so what's the game
the game is the government treasury sells treasury bonds to our retirement funds and our IRAs and 401ks and retirement funds around the world.
And then it takes that money and it, it spends that money. It gives that money to Elon Musk to
do SpaceX, or it gives that money, you know, the Chinese are subsidizing Tesla, or it gives that
money to, you know, to invest in tremendous amounts of AI or or the CHIP Act, tremendous money to drive Taiwan Semicon.
So all the guys who are getting that money out of our retirement fund
are getting huge up in their companies
while we're going down 35% financing the game.
Now, if you think it's bad in the stock market,
because all that stuff, for the most part, is real.
You may disagree with how it's priced or how it's organized, but it's real railroads, real satellites flying around, real chips being put into computers.
And so you're still financing something that has to do with the integration of technology and productive activities.
If you take this and buy those guys out of their scam,
and they're free to turn around and buy the land and other real estate.
So if you look at some of the trial balloons,
RFK at Bitcoin 2024 proposed that the sales of Bitcoin should be tax-free and secret.
So the Treasury is buying it, but they're not saying who they're buying it from.
It's secret, and the people who are selling it don't have to pay taxes if they roll it
into real estate.
How do you justify making it secret?
What did he say to justify that?
I had not seen that before.
But yeah, why would you justify that?
I finally wrote a commentary up, and I said, this is so outrageous, I'm not going to even send it to him.
I'm just going to write it and publish it.
But I sent it to him and his advisors and said, you know what, how do you justify?
This is a take from the poor and give to the rich scheme.
The worst take from the poor and give to the rich scheme I've ever seen.
And what are you leaving the governments with?
Instead of having 500 trillion of land and mineral resources, they end up with a bunch of Bitcoin.
What are they going to do with that?
It's going to be worthless.
Wow.
Yeah, one of the things that bothers me about all this stuff, too, of course, is tokenization.
You're talking about the uh the bitcoin swap out for
real assets and land and things like that uh and and i call howard lutnik i call him lucky lutnik
and he got real lucky on 9-11 you know but uh uh you know he's he's all about tokenization he's
like the tokenization king and i'm very concerned about you know it's great if you if you get
i think the government under biden was coming directly at him going to just prohibit it in
their face i'm concerned about what is happening with the trump administration as you're pointing
out you know this one aspect of it here uh which is very key which is a switching out of um
of assets but it's also the privacy and i know you're about financial privacy and the importance
of cash and things like that um all this fascination with blockchain exposes all of that
and so that's another aspect right well it's it sets up a two-tier system where everything we do
is public and everything yeah you know there's a second system that's totally private yes yes right
and increasingly this had that way with government all the time.
And they've just, as part of this continuing resolution thing, as the listener pointed out,
they've got a clause in there to hide data that is being passed around within various committees and things like that within the House.
So, again, they're always trying to hide what they do and have more information about what you're doing.
So let's look at a couple of key strategic points.
So the first thing they need if they're going to get financial control is they need a digital ID.
And Trump has been promoting a digital ID.
And the conservatives and Trump together you know they use immigration
and election fraud as an excuse for digital we do not need a digital id system we had honest
elections and we had tight borders before digital technology existed so i don't want to hear you
know that's a bunch of hooey so so you know but they're using that as an excuse and i just saw
one of the business newsletters i get said that Congress will start off by doing,
addressing election fraud and immigration right off the bat.
And my fear is that's an excuse to do a digital ID.
Now, you have the states pushing the real ID.
They've been trying to push the real ID ever since 9-11.
But it's been going slow with the states,
and we need to do everything we can.
You know, if I was a state legislator, I'd just get the real ID thrown out of the DMV,
and we need to do that.
And now the TSA is going to be pretty much demanding that.
They said this next year.
We'll see what happens with that.
If you have a passport, they can't demand a real ID.
You have a passport.
But they're also setting up their
biometric thing and that's one of the things when when trump is talking about digital id
yeah air land and sea and it's going to be biometric i mean it's very very concerning
we saw desantis in florida uh and the rest of them saying we got to have mandatory e-verify
because of immigration and illegals uh taking people's jobs it's not true yeah you know it's
absolutely not true.
So the first thing is you've got to stop a digital ID.
The second thing you've got to stop is an all-digital monetary system.
Because if you have a digital ID and an all-digital monetary system, then we're saying, okay,
you know, then we can control where you go, what you buy, and we know everything there
is to know about you.
It's a complete surveillance system. And if you don't behave, we can turn off your money or we can limit your money in a whole
variety of ways. And we can institute taxation without representation. Then the third thing we
need to stop is what we want is we want the people's representatives to control and operate fiscal policy.
We don't want the central bankers controlling fiscal policy in addition to monetary policy.
The rise of the deep state correlates almost perfectly with the rise of private corporations and banks doing government operations.
The idea that somehow Doge is going to go in there,
fire all the civil servants and put in big tech contractors and things are going to get better.
No, it's the opposite.
If you if you finish getting rid of the civil service,
you will end up with the central banks and intelligence agencies controlling and running everything,
because that's who the corporations and the defense contractors and the big tech companies are going to report to.
They're not going to report to Congress.
You know, Congress is, you know, that's game over.
So those are the three. That's a really good point.
That's a really good point about Doge.
Yeah, that's very important.
Right.
So those are the three things.
You want to preserve the legislature's controlling fiscal policy.
You want to stop an all-digital monetary system.
And you don't want to let a digital ID take effect.
Because if you get those three things, boom, boom, boom, boom,
then we're talking about living in a digital concentration camp in a slavery system.
Yeah, that's absolutely right.
It's that simple.
And they came out and said, you know, before the election, a few months before the election,
we're not going to do CBDC, the Five Eyes states, countries.
You can do it with credit cards and crypto.
Yeah, they can do it with these pieces.
And a lot of that is already in place with MasterCard.
What you want to stop is an all-digital monetary system.
Yes, yes.
An all-digital monetary system.
And it's not, you know, it's not forget cbdc versus forget all these different products
in the digital realm you know all of which could be wonderful or terrible depending on how you do
them yeah so technology in in a way is agnostic it's how we use it so so all these things could
be wonderful or they could be terrible what we cannot afford is an all digital system because
it will be controlled by the people who
control the hardware that's right yeah you know and you know i'm seeing a lot of states got on
board a couple of years ago they were talking about it very heavily cbdc and um and so you've
got a lot of different states that are putting out stuff still to say we're not going to have cbdc
they just rename it and it morphs into something completely you know they just
spin it a little bit, and you still get.
But the essence that you're talking about there, there's a digital ID and the fact that we have digital cash.
That's what they need to be focused on.
The CBDC, they realize, because they watch conversations on social media, they realize that we're on to that game.
So they spin that game in a different way and come around in a different angle.
So I want everybody to go to Solari, and we have a big new memo that we published.
It's up on PDF.
You can download it.
You can forward it.
You can link to it.
It's called What the States Can Do, Building a Legal and Financial Infrastructure for Financial Freedom.
And it goes through all the different areas.
It's a very serious look at all the different areas that a governor
or state legislature can implement to protect financial freedom within their jurisdiction,
so that no matter what the guys in Basel, Switzerland, or what the guys in Washington
or Wall Street do, you can have financial freedom within your state. And the beauty of the states,
as you know, is they, under the Constitution, the powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states.
The states have the power to protect our financial freedom in a way that protects our governmental and individual sovereignty.
And that was, the Solari team has been working night and day for two years to figure out, working with different legislators and state leaders, how to do this.
And that information is up.
I encourage you to download, read it, send it to all the legislators.
There's so many great things that can be done.
And for everything we cover, David, we give you links and citations to the states that
have either done it or proposed it.
So you can find your counterparties around the country who are working on this because
there's a lot of good coordination between the treasurers, the AGs, and the different state legislators.
It's almost like by 2022, we figured, okay, we got to do this.
We're on our own.
We got to do this.
That's right.
Yeah.
And that is important.
And that's a big, I mean, there's things that we can do as individuals.
I'll ask you about that in a second. But it's very important that we fight them at that level as well.
You have information besides the people who are on that board, you know, information on a state-by-state level as to people who are open to this type of thing as well?
Yeah, so get in the game.
We found that a fair amount of our subscribers were reticent to contact or communicate.
They didn't know their state senator.
They didn't know their state representative.
We kept saying, hey, listen, those are the most important elections this year, so get involved.
But right beneath what the states can do, the PDF, we have another PDF called Working With Your State Legislators.
It's a guide to if you feel, you know, I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to get to know them.
I don't know, you know, that's a guide for you to get to know,
help you get to know your state legislators
and know sort of how to get into the process
and how to get yourself acclimated.
So that's there as a resource too.
I also want to mention we've announced,
we're going to take one of the briefings i do in ask katherine and the
team and do a briefing in the second thursday of every month we're reserving that time to brief
state legislators and the first briefing is on january 9th on thursday it's for state uh
legislators state officials and their staff and and state bankers if they want to invite the state bankers with them,
and, of course, the subscriber who arranges it is invited as well.
And that's the first one in January 9th is going to be on the Bitcoin Reserve scam.
And we have a lot of state legislators who are receiving,
they're getting Astroturf emails,
and so they need to understand what is this?
How does it work?
Is it a good idea?
Is it not a good idea?
If it's not a good idea, why?
And how do I explain it to my constituents who think it is a good idea?
And that's key because, you know, January 9th, you're going to do that.
January 21st, when Trump becomes, he says, first day, we're going to do a Bitcoin reserve.
Very first day.
So it's important for people to understand what that is before that. So he doesn't have the're going to do a Bitcoin reserve, the very first day. So it's important for people to understand what that is before that.
So he doesn't have the legal authority to do a Bitcoin reserve.
What he can do is the marshals, Department of Justice has seized 200,000 Bitcoins or 210,000 Bitcoins.
And I'm assuming they're holding those in the asset forfeiture fund.
He, in theory, could say, I'm moving them to Treasury.
I'm not sure how he does that without an appropriation but he certainly has those 210 000 he can say i'm not going to sell them yeah
and and that's a bitcoin reserve and he said at bitcoin 2024 that he would do that and i think he
has the power to do that if you look at the idea of moving it to Treasury and moving it to Council without Congress' approval, I mean, if I was
Congress, I would nail him on that, number one. But number two, the idea
Kennedy proposed by executive order that he would
free them from the capital gains tax, which
you know, that is unconstitutional. For a president by executive order
to make a radical change in American tax law without Congress.
Oh, yeah.
Without a comment period from the public.
I mean, that's, you know, hello, Stalin.
I know.
Well, I mean, look, just because it's not legal or constitutional doesn't stop these guys.
I mean, look what Trump did with, well, we can take the gun and do the due process later.
I can do gun control by executive order.
And they established that as a precedent, you know, immediately.
Well, there seems to be, you know, and this is what happens when you get these kind of financial pumps.
You know, because I've lived through so many pump and dumps, it's unbelievable.
And, of course, when you're in the pump, everybody thinks you're the master of the universe and a genius.
And then the pump over, you know.
But in the pump, you know, there's no, everybody feels so great,
and there's so much entrainment and subliminal programming.
It's a religion.
And, you know, you've seen it before.
And suddenly, oh, the Constitution, that's not not important the laws that are not important
financial practices you know good financial practices and rules no we don't have to do that
it's young it's innovative it's creative it's the future yeah oh yeah you know as long as and
they're saying all that about the tokenization stuff oh this is going to be so wonderful you
know we're gonna well here's what the tokenization the tokenization stuff the wef says it's 2030 and you have no assets if you create a token for
everything and then start to trade it it's a great way to take everybody's assets that's right i mean
it's just a taking system well just look at what they did with the securitization and which is
essentially tokenization as well with the mortgages. You know, you've got something that's a real tangible asset,
and look at the destruction that they did with that in 2007, 2008.
Well, but here's the thing, and I know this because I was Assistant Secretary of Housing.
We had houses, I had one house in Chicago, I found,
that had refinanced and defaulted five times in a year.
Now, that is the pattern you have when you have ten mortgages on one house.
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
And they mix it all together so nobody can see any of that stuff as well.
Well, but the reason, go back to Hamilton Securities, the reason they seized our office and stole our software and would never give it back is, you know, our databases were going to show that there were a lot more mortgages than there were homes in America.
You know, the mortgage fraud was off the charts.
So here's the thing.
I think you know, I wrote during the election, I wrote a paper called Salary Paper Number
One.
It's up at our Missing Money website.
And it's a review of the federal credit.
And it shows you all the things that are wrong with the federal credit.
David, we have run the federal credit that I know of since 1996 and we have refused to obey the
financial management laws. We have run the government significantly outside of the financial
management laws in a way I would describe as criminal. And we know that there's 21 train
that we've identified missing and we know they announced under the last trump
administration to take the book stock now if you're serious about reform the first thing you
do is you say i'm going to bring the government back into compliance with the financial management
laws that's number one number two i'm going to find out where all the 21 trillion won and i'm
going to get it back or i'm going to get the related assets back and I'm going to hold liable and responsible for people who stole it. Right. Yeah. I mean,
I'm going to reverse the financial coup. And then the third thing I'm going to do is I'm going to
take a look at all of our assets and, you know, whether it's our people or our land, and I'm
going to say, how do we get back to being productive? Step one is we've got to stop poisoning our kids.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
So, you know, if our people aren't, you know, aren't our talent, then that's what's wrong.
Yeah, yeah.
Right there at FDA.
So what do you think?
Because I think of FDA now, I talk about it as being free to do anything.
And so, but at the center of that is the poisoning, the food and the drugs.
What do you think RFK Jr. would do?
Assuming that he gets through confirmation, I think if they get a sense that he's serious about anything, they'll find some way to not confirm it.
I think he's going to be confirmed.
And I'll tell you why I think he's going to be confirmed. And I'll tell you why I think he's going to be confirmed.
The system on this issue has lost its credibility.
And if it doesn't reaffirm its credibility, it's going to lose the channel.
Okay.
Okay.
So what you see, there's always you steal, right?
And then you have a period of reform, and everybody says, ah, see,
we can, good, we can trust the government, and then you steal again, and then you reform. You
know, it's like a pendulum, and you swing it back and forth. It's like a harvesting machine.
And of course, it was important for Trump to try to recoup some of that lost trust after he was
bragging about his vaccine, to put the guy that was a vaccine skeptic in there you know
and i i looked at it and i always thought is that going to go beyond the election you know will he
actually put him in there and if he does put him in there will he do anything so it's funny i i will
tell you i saw the i don't know if you saw the interview he did with meet the press where they
were giving him a hard time about vaccines. And he looked at the woman.
It was like she was like an economic hit lady.
He looked at the person doing the interview, and he said, you know,
I'm going to forget his exact words, but he said, you know,
we have a real problem, and we have to do something about it.
You can't.
You can't.
And she said, well, you're going to can't.
He said, I want to just get to the truth.
He said, but we used to have, you know, one in every 100,000 was autistic.
Now it's one in every 100.
My numbers say it's one in every, there's differences in the people I know between 20 and 30.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Whatever the number is, what he was saying is you can't, you have no future as a civilization. You have no future. You can't you can't you have no future as a civilization you have no future you can't let
that go you have to get to the bottom of it and you have to fix it and she couldn't have cared
less no and you put out all the talking points well we're just better at measuring this stuff
now that's it's not really that we got more you know like kind of nonsense that we've heard for
a while from these people you know something you you can murder with a pen you can kill people with a pen yeah and what she is
doing you know you never want to make the attorney general of the united states because there are a
lot of people who are going to get prosecuted but that's murder yeah that's murder. That is really murder. And that's wrong.
I mean, it just, you know, some people should go to hell.
Yeah, that's why I could never I could never support Trump because of what happened with the vaccine and the fact that he continued to cheer it, you know, and to push this other
stuff.
But it'll be interesting to see what happens.
You know, we talk about pump and dump.
One of the things that immediately comes to mind over this last year is artificial intelligence and the things that are is that going to be a big
bubble that's going to burst the stock market because i've never seen a pump and dump like ai
ever and and all the amazing things is going to do and of course it will have some useful purposes
but we already saw uh the dot-com bust you know the internet was going
to be a big deal and and let me let me make some guesses here i think the reason you're seeing the
ai stocks fly is because government's shoveling so much money at them figuring it out because you
need ai to build the control grid and and you know of the things, the feedback you get from businesses is that businesses
can't figure out a way to use this stuff to make them profitable. So they're struggling to turn it
into real productivity, which is, you know, and in part that's on any new technology, that's always
the truth. But I think one of the reasons the talks are flying is the government is throwing so much money at it because they need it for the control grid, not because it creates fundamental economics.
Did you see Mark Andreessen talking about why he flipped to Trump?
He said, first of all, they told him, the guy that created Netscape, they tell him, don't even bother getting into AI.
We're going to control that.
And we're going to shut this down.
He goes, well, you can't do that.
That's pretty outrageous. And you can't do that. Well ai we're going to control that and we're going to shut this down he goes well you can't do that uh that's pretty outrageous and you can't do that well we did it before you know we put entire fields of physics off limits to other people they told him and he
said wow i learned a couple of things that he was really taken back by the frankness of the
biden administration this is kind of people they are they're so incredible that is frank but if
you look at the deep state they they are going to control it.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, you know, these guys, the goal of the AI is to help them do their version of the new governance system.
Oh, I agree.
And it's back to the control grid. And, you know, one of my big questions, we do a section every, you know, we do a wrap-up every quarter and every year, and we have
a whole section called Unanswered Questions, because there's so many, you know, there's
so many mysteries in the world, David, but one of my unanswered questions is the reason
these guys want total, complete control is so they can bring out free energy, because
they're terrified of bringing it out.
Free energy can be weaponized.
It can be very dangerous.
So do they want total control so they can finally bring out free energy?
I don't know.
How would they weaponize free energy?
So I don't understand the physics.
You'd have to talk to the guys who really you know who
do it i have one member two members of our team were the were the guys who did the breakthrough
energy conferences um if you go to global them and and they dragged me along to a couple of them but
that you know that technology can literally create weapons that can do huge destruction.
True, true.
And, of course, it's a big part of their control grid.
You know, when you look at their ability to control things, it comes back to not only their monopoly, essentially, on money and financial assets, but it's also a connection to energy, the ability to manufacture things.
But in the past, they've even talked about how, well, you know, we just need to kind of switch over away from these fiat currencies and start trading in energy credits.
And so you see things like carbon taxes and you see this carbon sequestration, which is another scam that I see developing there in the background with Trump and these people around him.
I mean, that's going to be a – they're going to come out and tell people you can buy –
you can use any kind of energy you want, but you just got to pay us, right?
We don't have a fiat currency problem.
I mean, the currency that we have the problem with is debt-based.
But we could easily evolve a dollar system into something without debt basing that could be great.
The greatest currencies throughout history have been fiat currencies that had good governance systems.
But if you have a powerful fiat currency that is basically run by a secret governance system who wants you dead, that's a problem but but you know there's there's a difference between the problem
being a currency problem and an organized crime problem or a secret our problem is we have a
secret governance system we don't have a financial problem we have a we have a political problem we
have a secret governance system and it's trying to centralize and control in a way that we don't
want we want to be free i agree that. That's our problem. I agree. And
it's just not a financial problem. We've got about five minutes left, and I want to ask you in a
little bit of time that we've got, what's your take on all this drone stuff? Certainly looks
like a setup to me, and of course, they've got a reauthorization thing that's going to be folded
into the continuing resolution. They could have gotten that passed by putting in a continuing
resolution, but it's looking more and more to me like perhaps they as they start putting out this narrative
about radiation i get concerned about a false flag dirty bomb or something to escalate war
what do you think is going on with it so my this is a wild guess but my guess is one of two things
are going on one is they have those drones out.
It's clearly a military intelligence operation.
So it's either the military and the intelligence agencies
or it's their contractors doing it for them.
So they're either concerned and looking for something.
So they have
a real concern about some kind of
risk. And they're
doing the surveillance to figure out what's
going on. And it's a
legitimate national security concern.
Whatever that is. We can
speculate about that.
Or the second thing is if you look at how much money
they've put in the defense authorizations
to build drone capacity and where those people are, you know, a lot of this is happening in those corridors.
And this could be sort of prototyping to get people ready for the control grid.
So, you know, so they're planning on using a lot of drones to run the control grid.
Yes. Yes.
So it could just be prototyping and getting folks used to this kind of invasive drone.
Wow.
What do you think of the idea that they're kind of planning this out there about it being radiation?
What about a false flag dirty bomb so they could escalate some of these wars?
What do you think about that? Well, I think they're really concerned about, you know,
on the number one scenario, they're doing surveillance.
I think they could be really concerned about dirty bombs or, you know,
whether it's a false flag or a terrorist attack.
Because we're in a world of asymmetrical
warfare.
If you are
basically engineering
the death of Russian
generals in Moscow,
then they feel
free to come and do the same here.
That's right.
And the Russians have
warned, if you keep doing this, you know, if you invade our sovereign territory and kill our military on our soil, whether it's a missile or, you know, an assassination like this, you know, two can play this game.
Yeah, I agree.
So we're in a world of asymmetrical warfare.
Anything's possible i've i've had more than a few people over the over the
years tell me you know if so-and-so doesn't get his way he he's going to set off a dirty bomb in
chicago yeah i remember i had one member of the intelligence agency who tried to persuade me that
when they thought they couldn't get a rand contra to really you know keep the lid on it that they
were prepared to blow up a small you know a suitcase nuke in chicago yeah well i mean go
back and look at operation northwood so i mean they were they're willing to do 9-11 type stuff
you know back in the 50s 60s i guess yeah right so so i think those drones were
reflected military intelligence concern that you know there was risk and they had to find it.
Yeah, it is very concerning.
When I first looked at it, I thought, well, maybe this authorization thing.
But the more I look at it, the more I think, well, they're going to get that through anyway.
Here's the thing, David.
They've already got it.
Very quickly.
You know, the situation has moved to a real out-of-control state.
Yeah. And there are far too many very powerful people who think chaos is good for business.
That's right.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
So.
They make money going up and coming down, especially if they know when it's going to go up and come down.
That's the key thing for them, isn't it?
Well, part of it is the hubris.
If you look at what has been gotten away
with, the organized crime hubris
is bad, and you have many factions.
So, you know, I think
we're in for, there's going to be plenty
of chaos in 2025.
And it's not all just going to be engineered.
It's, when
a society loses its
bearings,
you get real madness.
And we're dealing more and more with people who are literally losing their mind.
I agree.
Well, let's talk a little bit about Solari and the Solari Report.
I've got a copy of the one on water.
You've got our latest wrap-up.
Great.
It's amazing the breadth of information that you get in these reports.
And, of course, you're always ahead of the curve there at Solari.com.
Tell people a little bit about the membership that's there.
So we have a subscription service.
We'd love to have you as a subscriber.
As David pointed out, every quarter we publish, we do a big wrap-up of the news,
news trends and stories. We do a big wrap-up of the news, news trends and stories.
We do a big wrap-up of the equity markets
and the financial markets,
but we also deep dive what I call a primary theme.
And I'm a great believer coming out of the investment community
that at any given time,
there are 20 to 25 primary trends that are driving our world, like the growth in space
or the shift of economic activity to Asia.
These are long live trends or the bull market and gold.
These are long live trends.
If you take the time to understand them, learn about them, you get that knowledge and then
it's good for 20 years because it's a long life trend. And you're looking at the one we just did on water and everybody said to me, water,
why is the salary report, you know, you're laying this money, why are you doing water? I said,
the number one most important thing to the financial value of a place in real estate
is good water. If a community has good water, remember that town in California
where they stopped the water system?
They said, we can't afford to do it anymore.
And suddenly, these $500,000 houses were worth nothing.
That's right.
There was no water system.
That's right.
You know, imagine.
So anyway, but water is very, very important
to the health and well-being in place.
And one of the things I always say to families,
if you're going to reverse your situation in the great poisoning if you want to you know get out
of the great poisoning and get really healthy the first thing you have to pay attention to is
you know what is the water you're drinking what is the water you're bathing and what's the water
you're putting on the you know on your garden on your food yes so uh anyway so this this and the
last one was on water.
The next one coming out
will include all the material
on what the states can do,
but we also did a deep dive
on land grab.
What are the tactics used
to do land grab?
And, anyway,
there's a wealth of information
that can help you
at the state level
really deal with the fact
that there's a whole group
of people trying to grab our land
and in the meantime stick you know ponzi schemes into our pension funds well they told us that
we're going to own nothing we just have to figure out how that attack is going to come and how we
defend against it and that's what the here's the larry's vision it's 2030 you have more assets and
are more prosperous than you are today and klaus schwab is in his
chateau in the alps in a state of deep depression that would be great i like that video thank you
so much katherine it's always great to have you on solari and solari report is solari.com and you
can find solari report and i would underscore for, I'm definitely going to take a look at your article there about hijacking Bitcoin in your interview.
I'm very interested to see that because it's going to be a big part of the next year that's coming up.
This guy, Steve Patterson, he is brilliant.
So is Roger Ver.
You're really going to enjoy listening to him.
I'm going to try and get him back again because these are both, you know, I never explained what happened to Roger, but after he published the book,
the feds went after him. And I think, given the scam,
the last thing they want is the truth about Bitcoin. And there's no...
If you look at Roger's qualifications to...
And the book speaks for itself, because if you look at the research, the footnoting,
the material, it's impeccable.
Yeah, it's amazing.
Let me just ask you real quickly before the show ends, and we've gone over a little bit here a couple of minutes, but I got you on.
I've got to have you on more often because it's always fascinating to have you on.
What do you think about gold?
Are you talking about long-term trends of this?
We're in a long-term bull market for gold.
And I don't see anything fundamentally changing either, do you?
No, I don't think there's anything new, anything changing,
other than there's a major marketing push to get everybody to not buy gold,
to buy Bitcoin and crypto.
But it's working.
Imagine if it hadn't been for bitcoin and
crypto gold would be through the moon so it's it's been very successful and the central bankers are
free to buy and buy and buy that's right absolutely yes well thank you so much uh katherine always
great to have you solari.com uh fascinating information great insights thank you so much
for joining us thank you thank you and let just get to a couple of these comments here as we play the music rolling us out here.
We've got Guard Goldsmith said what she says is so true.
I recall reason reported men tend to look at large systems in politics, federalism, et cetera, while women tend to stay more local on school, kids and politics and so forth.
