The Highwire with Del Bigtree - IS THE AMERICAN DREAM DEAD?

Episode Date: November 20, 2023

Some migrant families are now leaving the United States to head back to their country of origin claiming the American dream is gone. We analyze warning signs within the US, including credit downgrades, vibrant cities now in squalor and rising crime rates. In addition, we look at the clean up effort in San Francisco with visiting Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Gavin Newsom’s reason for the cleanup.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

We're going to take a unique look at the United States right now in an interesting view here. And it starts with this story. Fed up migrants who trek thousands of miles to U.S. already heading home. American Dream doesn't exist. What they're talking about in this article are Venezuelans who came from the border that were bused to Chicago. And they're saying, look, besides the fact that Chicago in the fall and moving into the winter is freezing, but they're saying, look, American dream doesn't exist. We've tried and we're going back home. They're getting tickets.

They're flying back, doing whatever they can to do this. And so why is this happening? Why is all of this happening? Well, taking a look at one of the big issues here, the United States has a credit rating, just like you and I have credit ratings. There's credit rating agencies. And if we have good credit, we can take out loans, have low interest rates. If we have bad credit, we don't get those kind of luxuries.

Well, for a country, it's the same thing, except also countries, people invest in their bonds, buy their bonds, they're safe countries to do business in. Well, this has just happened to the U.S. this was just over the summer. Fitch downgrades U.S. credit rating, citing mounting debt and political divisions. First time this has ever happened. And then just recently, Moody's changes U.S. credit outlook to negative. This was a New York Times. Another big hit. And I'm looking over these headlines and I'm seeing something, I'm seeing something that looks like this. So we're going down, but then I see this headline. El Salvador rating, El Salvador is rating raised by S. on local debt financing. S&P is another rating agencies. And so I look and say, well, this is

a central American country. And this, a lot of these people are coming up from these areas, South America, Central America to the United States. And their credit ratings being raised. What did El Salvador do? Well, you see this headline just about two years ago. El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as an official currency. So one of the issues here in the U.S. is the rising inflation rates, the purchasing power of the dollar. It's really causing some hardship for people, to just try to live a daily life. So El Salvador said, we're going to take this cryptocurrency, the first one, and it's decentralized. We're going to try it as an official currency.

And so far, it looks like it's really been a good payoff. This is kind of the exact opposite of a central bank digital currency, where everything would be central through the Federal Reserve. The Bitcoin is completely decentralized. So you look at the World Bank, they release rankings every year and they classify countries by income level. Well, if you look here, the most recent rankings, El Salvador just made a jump. They went from lower middle income to upper middle income on their way to high income, which is where the U.S. is in other countries. So this is another positive thing.

But what's most interesting about this story is we had the president of Al Salvador interviewed by Tucker Carlson. This was before Tucker Carlson left Fox. And it's an interesting view because this is an El Salvadoran president who is looking in to America from outside and listen to what he had to say. The demise of the US has to come from within. The enemies have to be inside, not really outside. No external enemy can cause so much damage as internal,

as an internal operation. You're watching internal operations here. You can see them in cities, cities that were pristinely beautiful 30 years ago, are wastelands right now. You would see people, I mean, I'm from El Salvador, third world country in Central America. And myself, I can see cities here and say, I don't want to, I want to live here. So that would be unthinkable three decades ago, totally unthinkable. But a Salvadoran wouldn't want to live in the U.S. city, in the U.S. main city, I mean, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, yeah.

Well, Philadelphia, Baltimore. It's really amazing, you know, and it's true. We are experiencing a crushing demise here in America in fighting like we've never seen, political divisions, which is some of the downrating that's happening, where we can't even communicate with each other. The news agencies, I believe, are fueling that rage against our neighbors when honestly, the truth is if we turned off our television sets and started talking about the issues that actually affect our lives. we would find that we are all in agreement and the real problem is the propaganda coming from our television, the division being driven by a government that we are pointing out as being owned and run by, you know, industries and outside influences, if not controlling us, the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the World Bank, IMF, all of these things are like working to pull us apart.

You know, I was just in, you know, as he talks about it, we see like the squalor and things that are happening in big cities, crime rates are up. I was in Portland, Oregon recently for an event, and I went to CVS because I needed deodorant, and I swear it was the craziest thing I've ever seen. It was empty shelves just like this, and there was like one shelf that had deodorant, and there was locks on it. And it was locked away. I had to find the one person that isn't employing anybody. Nobody can work here, because the place isn't making any money at all. I found the one person that's supposed to help, took me 20 minutes, came up, and he's unlocking the deodorant. I said, you got to lock deodorant.

He says literally the only things left in this store are what under lock and key. They're taking advantage of some law that's like as long as it's under $1,000 or something, you can walk right out the front door and you're actually, you're the one in trouble if you reported. If you call the police and it was under $1,000, you're in trouble for even bothering them. I mean, this is what's happening to the United States of America. And you just, you know, and I said to the guys like, I don't see that in Texas. Like, no, you don't because in Texas, people own guns.

Now, I don't know how that weighs in, but it is amazing we are seeing this happening in what was supposed to be the beacon of light and hope and the greatest nation in the world. A lot of people know something's going on, and there's a lot of moving parts to this story as well. But watching the president there of El Salvador, it reminds me of the interview that G. Edward Griffin did, and he's really one of the founding fathers of alternative research. We had him on the show, actually, just recently. And this was an interview he did so many decades ago with a Russian KGB defector Yuri Besmanov. And Besmanov gave kind of a brief overview of how things like this may have happened.

Take a listen if you didn't hear this before. You spoke several times before about ideological subversion. That is a phrase that I'm afraid some Americans don't fully understand. When the Soviets use the phrase ideological subversion, what do they mean by? Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate, overt and open. You can see it with your own eyes. All you have to do, all American mass media has to do, is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it. There is no mystery. There is nothing to do with espionage.

I know that espionage intelligence gathering looks more romantic. It sells more deodorants through the advertising, probably. That's why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond type of thrillers. But in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion and opinion of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process, which we call either, ideological subversion or active measures,

active in the language of the KGB, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and it's divided in four basic stages. The first one being demoralization it takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students

in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the ideology of the of the enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism. The result, the result you can see, most of the people who graduated in the 60s, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, educational system you are stuck with them you cannot get rid of them they are contaminated they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern you cannot change their mind even if you if you expose them to authentic information even if you prove that white is white and black is black

you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior in other words these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To get rid society of these people, you need another 20 or 15 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of the United States society. It's really unbelievable. to hear that when you know you could have said 40 years ago and obviously Ed Griffin who by the way is the center point of

you know Plandemic the Great Awakening which we launched here on the high wire if you haven't seen it you know it's just a brilliant film that deals a lot with the work that ed Griffin did this interview but think about what he's saying and I in you think about the news right now how many universities have children that actually like students college students that believe that communism just hasn't been just hasn't been actualize the right way. We should be moving in a communist direction. You can clearly see. He's saying, we're going to be inside your schools. We're going to be teaching your kids. And when you talk about demoralization, one of the stats that's up right now, under 20 percent. I mean, like, you know, like I think it's down to like 18 percent of students, college students in America have hope for America. The rest believe that it's just a dismal. There's no hope. I'm never going to be able to own a home. The dream of America is dead. So, I mean, whether or not the KGB did this or not, boy, did that guy, you know, prophesies 40 years ago,

almost to the date now, where we now find ourselves where, you know, third world nations are looking down on us. Yeah. And the takeaway, one of the takeaway from that for me was it's not the Russians did this. It's psychological warfare. And we saw lots of groups. And really, as you've talked about on this show, when you dig down, a lot of these groups are connected by the roots.

So when you see like the psychological warfare that has. during COVID-19, especially in the U.K. with the Nudge units and the Psiops. This is alive and well. And making us turn each other in, as the El Salvador president said, right? It's internal. You are eating yourself. This, we can't, there's nothing it could come from the outside and do as much damage to America as is being done inside of America to each other. Right. And, you know, we look at cities like the El Salvadoran president said, San Francisco, he said, I wouldn't want to live there. And San Francisco is, it's a beautiful city of many rights. But we all see that. something is not right and it's happened very quickly and a lot of people aren't questioning it.

What's going on? How did this happen so quickly? Why aren't people living in the city addressing this? Why are people turning a blind eye to this when like the El Salvadorian president is saying, I don't want to live there. And this is another thing that we've, people from the outside that aren't operating with, let's just call this American mindset of looking the other way for a lot of people are pointing this out. And another media that's pointing this out is Chinese media. This is kind of embarrassing, but this is the headline here. San Francisco is slammed as ruined city and hell in Chinese media ahead of APEC summit.

So the APEC summit just ended. But this is what this article says. While the city gears up for the event, U.S. Chinese radio used the headlines, Ghost Town, San Francisco, to have major blood exchange as APEC will bring the safest week in history to the city. Other headlines include the phrases, garbage city, ruined city, and fallen. city as crippling drug issues and widespread homeless problems continue to cause problems for the city. And then we look at Reuters, San Francisco patches over homelessness, drug abuse for APEC. And then another headline, drug addicts homeless plaguing San Francisco's downtown miraculously

disappear ahead of Biden and Gigi Ping's summit. So they were the governor of New York, I'm sorry, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom and the mayor of San Francisco. They've made really no real effort to clean this. this situation up to help these people, to get them off the street. And all of a sudden, when you have this summit, you have the Chinese leader coming in, they miraculously disappear. And where did they go? Everyone's questioning these things. And this is what Gavin Newsom had to say, but I take a listen. That's my emphasis. I see what you see. And we all want and see a brighter future as well. And so I'm really excited. I know folks say, oh, they're just cleaning up this place

because all those fancy leaders are coming into town. That's true because it's true. But it's also true for months and months and months prior to APEC. We've been having different conversations. I cannot believe he admitted that though you've been complaining about this for years, your businesses are leaving. The entire mall of all the expensive shops now are boarded up. You know, in downtown San Francisco,

there, one of the big shopping hubs is totally closed down. But when a dictator from China comes over to visit, Gavin Newsom is so embarrassed about what his house looks like. He finally cleans it up for the dictator's arrival. And to think that this may be the future of, you know, American political royalty, as many people, you know, are starting to think this might, you know, this might be the guy that jumps in and replace Biden if he's not able to run. And God help us if people that, you know, you know, only clean up their own house when dictators visit, you know, start running this name. I mean, I guess they already are. I mean, when we look at this whole nation, it's, I don't want to, you know, we're not here to get political, but we're in a bad shape here. It's really embarrassing and so

unnecessary when, you know, we could have jobs just cleaning up. You said, give people the, you know, hope in America again. It would really, really nice to see. It's just, wow. And we have to question, you know, we really have to question, where are, we when you know countries like North Korea or even China when the the media spotlights on them they have a perception that they put forward that it's not in alignment with how their country lives on a day-to-day basis and that's just what happened in San Francisco right now so we really have to question what are we really doing here what are we allowing these leaders to get away with because

there's a lot of questions that hard questions that have to be asked and a lot of solutions that have yet to come
