Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro. And in the midst of his story, one of my friends turned to the other and said, we don't know how lucky we are. And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are. I had some place to escape to. And in that sentence, he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is sentence he told us the entire story if we lose freedom

here there's no place to escape to this is the last stand on earth this is the last stand on earth the last stand on earth. Sous-titrage ST' 501 Thank you. You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour. This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of FutureDanger.com. Patriot Power Hour. We are live, episode 254, January 24th, 2024.

Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, here with Future Dan. Wow, 254 on the 24th of January, 24. Nice. Yep, I don't really believe in numerology per se, but it is a little bit of a coincidence, and we're rolling tonight regardless. Yeah, what's in the news? What do you care to talk about?

Hmm. Yeah, what's in the news? What do you care to talk about? There's a smorgasbord, as always, in the second quarter of the show. We will go to the news blitz. I'm trying to verify with an article, but I was listening to a finance podcast I listen to relatively often, and they were talking about how federal government tax receipts are actually down several percentage points in the last year over year, which is pretty much always previewed or foretold a recession. I was trying to find an article on that right before,

A recession. I was trying to find an article of that right before, but it doesn't matter even if tax receipts were up double digits year over year. We're in a massive deficit, massive amount of debt, you're telling me, before the show. How much was it? $40-plus billion added to the debt just overnight? $42 last night. $42 billion. Just a cool

42. That's nothing at all. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here. Kicking along that national debt. And so is the consumer. So are corporations. Not going to get too deep into the diatribe of interest rates, but really everybody is between a rock

and a hard place. And the only way out is to lower interest rates or have a great reset, whether that's a war or another COVID-type situation or some other event that is truly a black swan. So, yeah, hold on to your butts. But I don't have any particular article or subject to talk about besides just keep on prepping. Yeah, we'll cover all the news next segment. But the thing that's really very obvious right now

is what kind of false flag January 6th really was. Well, if you agree. I mean, it was a bunch of dummies that got led in by provocateurs for sure. So a few dozen or maybe even 100-plus dummies fell for a trap out of a million-plus people that were there. So a great, great majority didn't fall for this. So there were actual people that did go in and do stupid stuff. But there's just so much evidence, whether it's the pipe bomb fraud,

whether it's all of the essentially reassigning police away or not bringing in more resources for guarding the area to the cameras that came out later showing, hell, the Viking guy who was the face of the insurrection. Once the cameras came out showing him being led around, that narrative fell off pretty bad. So yeah, it's complicated, but a false flag, I would say it qualifies as one. Well, I think there's other stuff coming out that kind

of shows that the pipe bombs, remember the pipe bombs that were also on January 6th found exactly when Congress was planned to do the certification of the vote. Yes, and the DNC.

And the RNC. Conveniently at both, right? And that happened right on schedule. Both of them were conveniently discovered right when they needed to be. Yeah, so Trump won New Hampshire yesterday. He won Iowa before and is well on his way to winning his party's nomination again. So it's going to be a hell of a year, Ben. It certainly will.

We will actually be live one more time here in January next week, next Wednesday, January 31st. We've got stuff to talk about today before we get over our skis. But, yeah, over the months and years and even into the future, I'm sure even more will come out about January 6th, just like COVID vax as well as the lockdowns. Hell up in Canada, it's come out that it was totally against their charter with regard to the canceling truckers' bank accounts

and not just the censorship, but pretty much attacking these people economically and otherwise. and not just the censorship, but pretty much attacking these people, economically and otherwise. So all the different frauds, they're coming out, but is anything being done about it? Is anyone being held accountable? If not, then that means that the banksters and their friends and the other industries that control this world, they got away with it it and they're going to

do something worse next time yeah you discount the potential for a backlash from the electorate electorate but i don't i i'm not sure if by various means they'll be able to suppress it this time, which leaves the perpetuators of such things. If they lose that election poll in a significant way, like the Republicans take both houses and the presidency, what next? I mean, I called Trump getting hoovered in 2020, but it might be in the second term. It could be an order of magnitude larger. Another bioweapons attack in conjunction with a reset and an economic collapse. They're just not going to peacefully transition power anymore, I don't think.

I don't think so either. They're going to do everything possible not to let them get there. It'll just get more extreme the longer it gets in there. But I suppose if somehow, some way, when will he be, when is the inauguration next year? What day is that? It's probably about this time of the year, maybe a little earlier. So probably less than one year from the inauguration.

But long story short, if Trump is sworn in as president, January 2025, then yeah, absolutely, they're going to hoover the crap out of him. Whether it's economic war or everything. So hopefully he's ready for that. I know he knows that too, So hopefully he's ready for that. I know he knows that too, so he must be ready for it, I suppose. We did percentages and kind of predictions or whatever. I think there's less than a one-third chance that he makes it to inauguration,

either alive or as president. I don't know. He's blowing away the field in his party. He's going to be the nominee. Right. That's where the alive part comes in. Yep. So they're going to either steal the election and get help from abroad like last time, or there's some margin that they can't cheat pass, right?

So plan B is, you know, it's almost safer from an economic point of view to want Biden reelected because they won't collapse it on him, right? It's like slowly stay boiled instead of being thrown into the fire. But the fire, of course, would be a blowtorch held by those same people.

It's not natural. I get where you're coming from. We got a while until then, but on the other hand, maybe he'll be here before we know it. November, and then again, this time next year or thereabout. Yeah, yeah.

There's a lot of, not going on overseas, but not a lot changing we got basically a naval air firmish going on in the red sea kind of invites the question i mean is that you know where where's the line get across where war is being unconstitutionally waged, right? If you're an absolute purist, you know, Congress should be authorizing any military force. That's not been that way for a long, long time. And arguably, when you talk about the Navy, it was never practical. Never. Like U.S. Navy ships on the high seas for all time had a right to defend themselves under attack that's kind of like this military gray zone

where of course they can defend themselves but then what kind of escalations are possible we got drone strikes in Somalia this time you know for the first time this year going on today. We got, obviously, the U.S. and British navies launching very expensive Tomahawk missiles into the sand to try to get the Houthis to stop what they're doing. Is it boots on the ground? Is that all that, you know, theoretically the Congress should be authorizing? Well, we got boots all on the ground in the Middle East in small pockets,

mostly special operation forces. But, yeah, I mean, we're pretty, you know, there's many fronts to look at where, you know, the original design of the Constitution just isn't always keeping up with modernity. Somehow they're able to do it, but they sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine and others. That is war. That's supporting the cause of war, but maybe they would say that Congress did support that and did go through the machinations.

Well, no. The traitors, too. Yeah, no. I mean, both Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt were aiding Britain in the World Wars

before we entered the war with acts of Congress, declarations of war. That's probably wrong, too Congress, declarations of war. Right, that's probably wrong too. The trade aspect of war has not been under the umbrella of, it's not considered being a belligerent in war, right? I'm not sure if I'm with you stifling on that point. You're probably wrong but, you know.

They were probably wrong, too, first off. Second, well, think about all the, as you call it, ISR. What is that? Intel Surveillance Recon, probably. Not a military man, but assets of NATO and the U.S. are being used in the periphery and as secondary assets in a war and directly funding and giving them Ukraine assets that are being used, Bradleys, F-16s, etc. So that combined absolutely has to hit the threshold of definition of war.

Like, come on. Nope, nope. Unless you're shooting at people. Sharing, come on. Nope, nope. Unless you're shooting at people. Sharing intel is not. You know, obviously, Britain was at peace with France on and off, but when France entered

the continent to aid Washington to win the Revolutionary War, that became war. They supplied us heavily before that. It's on the brink, but it's not been considered historically warfare. Well, dude, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm no scholar in this regard. Did they declare war on Iraq or Afghanistan? I'm pretty sure they didn't. That was boots on the ground for sure. The thing is, since essentially the end of World War II,

Korea, Vietnam, Panama, First Gulf War, Somalia before First Gulf War Somalia Before First Gulf War We had Afghanistan and then Iraq the second time

There's always been Authorizations of use Of force which is a fancy way Of saying in the 20th and 21st century That Congress has declared war The last formal declaration of wars was on germany italy and japan right but but since then congress has passed resolutions

um that would solve the resolution and obviously you know george H.W. Bush and George W. Bush took it to the United Nations. They were working within the United Nations construct to, you know, eventually they got the, they didn't get votes off of the Security Council from Russia and China, but they got abstentions, right? Which, you know, made those not just, you know, authorized know authorized by u.s congress but also by the u.n but we're long past using the u.n for that since since i read it since afghanistan but uh you know obama's administration really broke it wide open with libya and other places just you know outright warfare without any authorizations. They argued that the thing that George W. Bush did is got the authorization to fight Islamic jihad everywhere, anywhere. That continues to be the legal foundation, I guess,

tonight for tomahawking the Houthis. Exactly. Ongoing indefinite authorization awesome all right we are going to break we'll be right

back with the patriot power hour get to the news blitz stick with us the sky

grows dark the day underneath the ravens in the sky Kangaroos die Decay underneath The ravens in the sky The king shall deceive We have come into the night Thunder and rays in war

We have come into the night Thunder and rays in war and I We will fight For our kings For Ragnarok Finger up for Ragnarok Finger up for Ragnarok Patriot Power Hour. Interception. February 25th, 2020. Episode 85.

Why can low interest rates be bad? In layman's terms, think of it as adrenaline. If you're running on adrenaline at all times, that is really taxing the system. And really, it could kill you. Sometimes you need adrenaline if there's a medical emergency. That can keep the patient alive, right? Bam, right in the heart like Pulp Fiction. But guess what?

You can't be having that all the time. We're not just seeing emergency measures. We're seeing unprecedented emergency measures. Very low interest rates for a prolonged period of time. They simply lead to bad and poor allocation of capital slash resources. Malinvestment, those investors, whether it's your pension fund, whether it's 401k, whether it's foreigners who buy a lot of our debt, by the way, all those folks, they want to get a return.

And guess what? When inflation is actually higher, even though they say inflation rate's low, it's not this low. And the lower these rates go, it just means inflation is much and much higher. Where does that end? Just ends in the total, unfortunately, the total destruction in an exponential fashion of any mathematical model. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Target on my back, lone survivor last They got me in the sights No surrender, no trigger, fingers go Living the dangerous life

Hey, hey, hey, every day when I wake I'm trying to get up, they're knocking me down. Chewing me up, spitting me out. Hey, hey, hey, when I need to be saved, you're making me strong, you're making me stand. Never will, never will. Shot like a rocket up into the sky, nothing can stop me tonight. You make me feel invincible, earthquake powerful. Just like a tidal wave, 2024, episode 254.

Federal government conducted bank record surveillance of Bible and sporting goods buyers after January 6th. CDC axed an alert warning, which showed the connection between heart inflation and inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines. How the government constructs positive economic data. This is not under the economic column, but instead liberty and free speech and misinformation. So all three of those articles, very important. We'll go through them later.

Cleanup at suspicious California biolab with ties to China continues. California Biolab with ties to China continues. World Economic Forum discusses disease X with fervor. NATO territory is losing the ability to use some GPS due to Russian electronic warfare. Russian electronic warfare. The Capitol Police investigate more than 8,000 threats in 2023. New footage shows Secret Service let a group of children walk

past a pipe bomb planted ahead of J6. So once that pipe bond had been discovered, children were allowed to walk right on past it. That's kind of weird. President once again suggests federal government could murder gun owners.

North Korea says it tested underwater nuke weapons system there's also a huge months long NATO exercise 90,000 troops one of the largest per capita in NATO's history relative to active troops Israeli reserve soldiers refused to fight in Gaza. Economics.

It's been relatively quiet. Markets are still doing pretty well. Near all-time highs. Bitcoin beat down a bit since an ETF last week. Interest payments spike on federal government debt. Tax receipts are flat or even going down. Meanwhile, spending through the roof with interest rates up, that's only compounding the issues.

December, home sales slump. Closed out the worst year since 95. Five. 29 years, 28. 29 years, 28. And there's a growing trend of no cash accepted signs. War on cash. We'll start off our fourth column here with the highest grade,

most serious and actualized. Former NIH director now agrees with the COVID-19 lab leak theory. Other information coming out on COVID, multiple COVID injections could weaken immunity, could lead to brain cancer, brain disorders, other types of cancer. This comes from Thailand, corporate media reports, so maybe not as controlled as over here, who knows. COVID jabs are deadly.

Here's a summary of the evidence so far. Fully vaxxed. Are manifesting a new disease called Vexus Syndrome. New cancer cases projected to top 2 million, which is going to be a record high in 2024, fair amount of volcano activity, no deaths or massive property damage, but 11 actively erupting volcanoes,

another 7 showing activity, 6.4 earthquake in Tonga, erupting volcanoes. Another seven showing activity. 6.4 earthquake in Tonga. Pacific Rim. Asteroid impacts atmosphere over Berlin. This is actually a predicted impact where they had been tracking this

object. Knew it was going to hit Earth. It was small enough to not do a lot of damage. It's the eighth one they've ever predicted correctly. Which is pretty cool actually. And inside

the deep freeze ambulance where people go for life after death. Looks like that's about it on the News Blitz. Future Dan. How do you want to do it? Top to bottom or bottom to top? Will you break down some of these articles and try to make sense

of them in the aggregate at the end? Or look at the aggregate and work top down? What do you feel like doing tonight on Patriot Power Hour? I'm feeling kind of scattered, so let's look at them individually and see if we can build some patterns. There you go. So, and we alluded to this in the first segment, some new information, news, and evidence, essentially, coming out.

News and evidence, essentially. Coming out, we have the pipe bomb. Secret Service, which this was at the DNC, where, by the way, apparently Kamala Harris was at at the time. So the Secret Service was involved. They knew of this pipe bomb, and they kind of, well, recently some footage was forced out I don't know if it was a

Freedom of Information Act but something similar trying to look through there but regardless this surveillance video just came out from what three years ago just came out and it just shows number one that the children just walking past it.

It's a pipe bomb. It's not remote detonated like Jack Bauer on 24 where pretend that there's not a bomb or we're going to nuke the city. It's not like that at all. Why would they do this? Are they ignorant? Are they not sure if it would be remote detonated they had to play along they had a threat or was it totally a fake fake bomb in the first place i mean there's an egg timer on it from what i see so anyway i don't know if you actually seen this footage

future dan but it's kind of a joke i have and it is and it And it makes it increasingly clear to a lot of people that this is a matter of let it happen on purpose. Yes, yes. So the individuals involved may not have known the greater scheme, but maybe they were. But by itself, this could be considered a smoking gun, maybe. But with all the different information coming out of that day, not just pipe bomb related,

yeah, the case is being built against that. And I guess we already kind of made a theme for today, not only that, but also COVID, so we can go right to that, unless you had more about the pipe bomb and J6. Yeah, one more thing. You know, these Secret Service, ATF, FBI, these agencies, and the military's got the same thing going on. It's a lot more insulated institutionally, but these

federal civilian paramilitary organizations, you know, you don't speak up because your entire pension is online, right? And so you might suspect something's not, you know, all correct, but it's really hard to do anything about it, right? Because you speak up, you're losing everything you work for. So it's, I'm not, it kind of goes to, you know, the proverbial conspiracy theories, You know, the proverbial conspiracy theories are just the theories on, you know, the government, for example, you know, has long had clandestine technology, suppressed technology, to include extraterrestrial, right?

And you ask yourself, well, how is that possible? Well, you know, when you can, you know, do compartments and keep pieces of information of the whole separated and then, you know, put people under threat that, you know, pensions that they're working towards, you know, could be lost if they speak out. It goes a certain way to explaining how some of that can happen. But it's never foolproof. There's always somebody who can change their mind and have seen something that they want to speak out about, right? So the deep state has a plan for that, right? They can absolutely ridicule and persecute

and cause all other kinds of problems for those who speak out. So there's kind of a carrot and stick function going on. And a lot of it comes down to members of these agencies just acting like Sergeant Schultz. They don't see nothing. They know, but they don't see anything. And that's super dangerous, right? I'm not saying anything new to this audience. I'm saying that the deep state is dangerous to the American Republic,

but we're kind of watching it live function, right, with these pipe bombs. It's definitely, and COVID as well, and just the fact they both have at the same time makes me wonder what's coming down the pike for the 2024 election that's why you gotta keep on prepping and get as ready as possible gosh I was gonna say something I totally forgot about

possibly the secret services and all that but but anyway it'll come back. Maybe. Maybe. But here's another article with regard to it. U.S. government conducted alarming bank record surveillance

of those who purchased a Bible, sporting goods, and other items. Actually, NBC guy talked about this last week. Talked about how he bought a Bible after this and bought some for his family because they're going to Christian school and they all needed a Bible to take to school. And his was really old and dog-eared and well-used and all that. And he's definitely on a list now. The Fourth Amendment's dead. The Fourth Amendment is...

With the exception of courts and criminal proceedings, you can still get a case thrown out because they absolutely ignored the Fourth Amendment. But they can backwards construct situations where they surveilled you unconstitutionally and then waited until they had other evidence against you and just hide the fact that, you know, they first figured it out, right? And these police types will justify it.

The ends justify the means, right? Like the Gestapo would justify things. So, yeah, Fourth Amendment's dead. And it sets a bad example to the left because, you know, if both parties over the years have been able to undermine the Fourth Amendment this badly, they see no reason why the Second Amendment can't be had that way. And I think even the worst possibility, especially for people who are innocent of crimes,

is having stuff planted on you. And with AI these days, and all your data, and all your communications going back decades, they could find the perfect way to frame you that has just so many threads that work well, even if they're false, just because they could data mine and run thousands of permutations. Now, they're not going to do this against everybody all the time,

but you add in massive data mining, AI, location data, they could find that perfect time where you don't have an alibi and all these other things fall into place and then they can find a jury that might convict your ass let alone the parallel construction if you actually did do the crime that's bad enough because it's cheating

but if you did do the crime and you got busted for it and they cheated at it, that's still BS it should be thrown out but I'm personally more worried about them framing me you know yeah or or framing you know people in government that are trying to do the right thing more likely yeah that is already going on for sure but more likely and more more sophisticated and and all that. Definitely, definitely.

It's stunning to see how totalitarian, how much the left is willing to resemble the worst of the Soviet Union in this country these days. That's why we're getting ready.

That's also why we're talking about it, right? We're going to be on the record having spoken out about it, wakes up, you know, just a few people to what's going on. You know, I remain confident that the electoral system can correct any ill, that constitutional amendments can correct any ill,

and that we can correct the path we're on um i'm not i'm not i'm not resigned to any of this oh yeah if i was resigned i want to do this show i want to prep i would go live a heathen lifestyle but i'm definitely not resigned at all because it's pretty cowardly and if my ancestors had been resigned to their fate I would have not even existed so stop being such a wuss sometimes you know yeah what else

do you want to talk about war on cash there's a lot of different threads off of that but one of them is tracking you and also banning you from being able to purchase certain things or at all so uh no cash accepted signs of course covid brought this into overdrive but even before that some businesses and cities were soft channeling that's a corporate word for you soft

channeling cash on or uh abolishing cash even though they would accept it a lot of the times now some are just outright not doing it best way to do that is not do business with those those types but but i for one need to do even more business in cash i do some business in cash but i use my credit card too often as breaker of the banksters that's that's definitely kind of sad so we need to kind of keep cash useful and that's the ultimate anonymous way to purchase things but also outside the banksters are not getting any fees from that not the ultimate way the big ultimate is to not use fiat although at all it serves a traceability you know there are there are banknotes with numbers on them, and they can be digitally read really fast now.

Good point. Some gold. Probably gold and just straight-up barters. Gold, silver, barter. Especially if it's not like an actual coin of gold. It's literally just a nugget, a a one gram nugget of pure gold. No trace in that. What else is on the radar tonight that you're concerned about?

Might as well hit on that COVID stuff. I a little of it but huge article cdc acts an alert warning of a connection between heart inflammation and covid19 vaccines we got to hit on that it's a grade one yeah yeah falsifying the data and it's coming out and the attention span of a lot of the election you know it comes down to the attention spanning electorate electorate right are enough people aware of how bad this is is there fewer and fewer people that you know they're aware of it and they just look the other way it's just going to take some tipping point doesn't take everybody in in america just takes enough of us so more news like that is just there to be seen there you go so this is may 2021 2021 CDC officials are putting together a clinical consideration guidance document, which is essentially telling people what to do.

If you want to follow CDC guidelines, which, you know, fortune 500 companies do a lot of cities and state health organizations, whatever, take it as gospel. and state health organizations or whatever take it as gospel. So this clinical consideration would have had a CYA or a disclaimer. This might be bad for myocarditis. This might be bad for inflation. Just, hey, we had to tell you.

You should still take it, but just so you know. But no, they wouldn't even do that. They shelved the draft alert addressing concerns over myocarditis cases and also the differences between uh johnson johnson and mr and uh excuse me the pfizer vaccines and and yeah again this is all coming out anyone who cares and actually reads and remembers things just sees it flat on his face that it was all a fraud. But they continue to... I don't know. I haven't seen anyone go to jail for this,

so I still think they got away with it. Time will tell, right? Time will tell. What about economics? What do tell. What about economics? What do you see in the economics? What are you not expecting that you're seeing? What are you seeing that you're expecting? How the government constructs positive economic data,

I won't have to read through this whole document, but I feel like there's been a lot of that manipulation recently with inflation numbers but there hasn't been a collapse there hasn't been a huge boon but uh you know we are looking at december home sales slumping to 28 year lows but the average home price hasn't really dropped in value much. Again, certain locations have, but other locations are up a hell of a lot year over year, even with interest rates. So, have not seen a total rug pull on residential or commercial real estate yet,

but all those problems I talked about the last couple years are all there. And there are signs of the facade cracking. And as I've always said, if and when that occurs, meaning a recession or worse, I do believe they'll bail things out. They'll be able to bail

things out like one more time. Now, again, maybe they want to do that and then just let it blow up in a year or two on trump's watch i know that's a big thing to look out for but but it may it may happen before then i don't know we'll find out though uh but it's actually kind of quiet out there relatively speaking there's definitely bad news that again debt's going up. We're seeing some potential flashing signs of recession. We're seeing housing prices maybe not crashing but not going up. The number of sales going down.

But it's not a free fall at this point. We're watching it. We're watching it. I just want to let the audience know there are certain economic gauges on future danger three we had to hide them we had the functionality is there but they're not showing on the website only because the source data has gotten, you know, basically they automatically block you from scraping their sites. So there's, you know, limited amount of sites that freely give out economic data. And the economic gauges were once, you know, a powerful aspect of column three on future danger.

Unfortunately, they're currently, you know, there's only a few left that are, you know, trustworthy. The rest were not working functionally. But, you know, it goes hand in hand with everything else that's going on, right? Increasing censorship and control of information. So we're dealing with that, you know, on the future danger website these days. Keep on grinding. Still quite the archive.

And maybe you can find some other metrics to replace it down the road anyway. So let's see here. Yeah, otherwise economically, though, let's go take a look at a couple prices, actually, just to check on oil. I'm just super surprised oil has been so low given all the conflict in the Middle East. That just makes me feel like there really must be a recession occurring now, which will manifest in the numbers a few months from now. Because there just must not be the demand for oil. Because the geopolitical risk is quite high for oil, in my opinion.

But the actual economic demand must be pretty low if the price is $75. That's pretty low for nowadays, in my opinion. But yeah, relatively quiet this January economically economically that could change on a dime though i think you're forgetting the supply side there's you know oil's plentiful if if if it's freely acquired right and with the body administration it's not freely acquired in the United States like it could be. But during Trump's presidency, it really, really got boosted and kind of shows the limits of the power of the president. Without a Congress that will pass legislation to make it harder for oil, you know, it's still, you know, it's flowing. And Russian oil is being exported by Russia on the black market at a discount.

I'm not sure if I'm with your diagnosis that, you know, it's a fall in economic activity. I think it's just the prices of oil are, you know, no matter how much people try to control it, it's still subject to supply and demand. You know, demand's not high as it could be right now, but I think supply is, you know, going to be plentiful. Keep pumping. Well, we got a lot here domestically for sure if we unleash it. Maybe the best strategic oil reserve, which we went through like hot knife

through hot butter but maybe the best one is just to keep it in the wells and not pump it yet i mean we got a lot that we could pull from all that fracking that was uh not even during a war when we would maybe really need that they could really bring some out of the ground. Yeah. There's a lot more oil than they said. I know peak oil was supposed to be a thing 10, 20, 30 years ago. It's not.

It's not for what it is worth there. Doesn't seem to me, does it? I still think that if there was all out war with Israel and you know block the Suez Canal and shit like that

we could have oil double overnight but we'll see let's see well we only got about 10 minutes left we gotta get out of here soon any other topics you really want to hit on

we still got a few articles we haven't touched on, but we've done a pretty good job of hitting on things tonight. Yeah, let's dig into some more articles, Pat. All right. NATO territory losing GPS from Russian electronic warfare. Global positioning system disturbances detected across Poland, NATO member Poland,

on Tuesday. Sparks speculation of Russian involvement following a similar incident in the region earlier in January. Northern and central Poland, the GPS signal was again jammed, including in Warsaw. And several

other very large cities. Swedish military intelligence is investigating the cause. So the economic damage per day of the GPS system being gone worldwide

would be crazy. They obviously can't jam GPS worldwide, them being the Russians, and blowing those out of geostationary orbit would be very difficult for them. They could. It would be all-out war for sure. Yeah, no, they could. It would be all-out war for sure. But even just localized, this is, I guess, I guess it's to be expected.

There's a war going on not that far away. The difference from Poland to Ukraine is not that far if you're an American. I think that would be the distance from, like, hell, not even the distance from the northern tip of California to the southern tip i'll tell you that yeah oh that's close to that that are a war um different means to knock it out globally and knock it out locally that's jammed right that's not knocking out the gps but it hits the radar because it's it's it shows that you know that's a threat to us gps in this country if we didn't have it um it'd be a big big step back in time 30 30 almost 30 years we've had that in our economy

um but again it would take it would take severe space combat to uh bring that about. So it's already going to be a major war if that's going on. Now, one thing to keep in mind is Kaliningrad, a little sliver on the Baltic Sea where the Russians have a base, and between, I guess, mainland Russia or the main, you know, Mother Russia itself. And in Kaliningrad, there's a little corridor of land that's, well, it's not friendly to Russia, let's say. And they think that the source of this jammer was based in Kaliningrad, pretty much the military base at the Baltic Sea. base at the baltic sea and quite my question is could they extend this all the way you know instead of being like a 200 mile radius 100 mile radius maybe they can make it 500 mile radius and take out most of western europe's gps as an example um not sure but but uh this seems like it had to be very powerful if it took out you you know, from that far away it was able to block GPS to these huge cities of millions of people.

Yeah, yeah. So, war in Ukraine continues, but as I suspected from the beginning, once the lines stabilized and Kiev didn't fall, it's a stalemate. It's a stalemate. We have... Well, let's see. North Korea tested its underwater nuke system.

They also launched some test missiles into the Yellow Sea. We have Taiwan, or excuse me, China, floating some surveillance balloons over Taiwan. It's been about a year since Balloon Gate, when that Chinese balloon flew across America. If you can believe that, it was a year ago. It's about how long it is from now until the inauguration 2025 for some perspective but apparently six of those balloons were launched from mainland china over to taiwan gathering

information uh again north korea testing underwater nuke shooting off missiles testing missiles some of the tensions on the Korean Peninsula, about as high as it's been since the ceasefire. It wasn't an end to the war, just a ceasefire. Truce, temporary, that lasted many decades. So I think all it would take is one of these to crack and the others will pop off. I've said that.

I hope not. But I feel like whether Middle East, Korea, or China, one of those goes off in a very, very significant way. I think the other ones will take that opportunity to do what they want to do too. So that's just my intuition though. Yeah, it would be the end of Pax Americana, and it's held since 1945. And now we've got all around the globe regional conflicts that would go. There's a potential out there for, we talk about poly-crisis,

but poly-war where all kinds of sides are fighting each other for their local reasons, right? So you remove the ability of the United States and NATO, Britain and France and Germany, essentially those four militaries, with the help of Canada and Australia to maintain the peace, it all flies apart. Yeah, it could be a domino.

Well, Trump's been running pretty hard on the fact that he had no wars during his administration. Sometimes you need a defensive war, right? Sometimes you need to go on the offense as a good defense. I think they overuse that a little bit these days. But Trump's been pretty much saying, like, I'm going to avoid World War III if you elect me. And I always thought that was one of the things Trump was, in my opinion, the strongest on.

Or I was like, oh, actually, yeah, you're right. Trump actually doesn't just bomb the shit out of countries like others do on both sides of the aisle. the shit out of countries like others do on both sides of the aisle um i don't trump oversaw operation warp speed in the lockdowns and was a little cowardly with regard to the forced injections so i don't give him high marks on that maybe he learned his lesson uh trump is in bed with the banksters to most degrees with regard to financial aspects uh he would never say anything about abolishing the federal reserve i know that and but with regard to war aspects. He would never say anything about abolishing the Federal Reserve. I know that. But with regard to war, at least he will be like, no, we're not going to war.

So I'll give him a thumbs up on that and hope he keeps pushing that. I'm not sure at this point if he wouldn't pivot and absolutely go after the Federal Reserve if it suited his purposes.

He did say they're not going to do a CBDC, so that's kind of what maybe he's trying to, you know, I'm playing checkers, he's playing chess, he's getting ahead of the game. He knows the Federal Reserve is going to end itself because it's unsustainable and they're going to try to form into a central bank digital currency, and he's already fighting it there. Maybe you have me convinced there. I hope so.

Yeah, but his attitude is, you know, just whatever it takes to have a great economy while he's in charge. That much he knows in politics since the 20th century, right? Really, since Clinton and the, you know, it's the economy stupid. He's never going to be out of that point of view. So as long as the Federal Reserve is an asset to him during, you know, a potential second term,

he's never going to speak out against it. But you watch. If they try to Hoover and reset on him, that'll pivot fast. Good point. Good point. We've got about two minutes left before the music hits, so we've got to get out of here. Last topic I've deferred to you. What you got?

Well, you know, Trump's winning the primaries. And, you know, what they can do next, what they have up their sleeve to try to prevent that nomination is really the focus for the next few months. You know, there's all kinds of steps to derail him. And the next one is find a way to somehow have Nikki Haley end up as the nominee. Sure doesn't seem possible tonight after what happened in New Hampshire last night. And the news is out there. 70% of Haley voters were not registered Republicans. Of course, in New Hampshire,

it's an open primary. You can show up on primary day and vote once for any party. You're not locked in like other states where if you're not registered in a party a certain amount of time ahead of time, you can't vote for their candidates. So Nikki Haley got a strong Democrat vote yesterday. That was a beat down, and you can't cover up all the fraud or all the misgivings, people coming from out of state or Democrats saying they were doing strategic voting.

Yeah, I would never vote for Trump. I hate Trump. I hate Nikki, but I'm voting for Nikki because it'll make Trump look bad. That's what people were saying. He won by what? At least seven points, maybe even more. So

yeah, long story short, no one's going to stop Trump and the Republican to get the Republican nomination from a voting perspective, but trying to assassinate him or try to put him in jail

and disrupt him that way, they're going to go for it. They still will hopefully be unsuccessful there, but I guess we've got about nine months, nine and a half months to see. Make a call in the next few weeks. And of course, all those court cases are coming up. Make a bold call.

If he were to stumble and not be his party's nominee, where do you see the greatest chance of that happening? You got any wild cards or anything that you know what might might occur in the next month or two that you'd expect would be the way that some scenario like that unfolded dodge if he was assassinated or very ill um because i don't think they're gonna put him in jail and that'd probably give him even more uh votes in the next month or two So I think it had to be a health issue. I mean, he is old. Things happen.

He could have a stroke, legitimately. No banksters, CIA, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. None of that. But also, he's under threat for sure. So I think that's his biggest threat, to get to November as the Republican nominee. Yeah, I think it's some kind of, they've got some legal strategy. It's going to be novel.

But if you backwards plan it from J6, someone was clever enough to say, all right, there's this 14th amendment clause that insurrection is limits you from holding office obviously there after the Civil War to prevent Confederate commanders and members of the state in the Confederacy from holding office

and of course on January 6th, there was no insurrection by any legitimate definition. No legal definition shows that an insurrection happened that day. So I'm just kind of wondering, what other planned legal entanglement they have for him and will he

have the advice that he needs to avoid being caught in it again. I feel like they would have rolled something out by now that would have got him. Maybe they got an ace up their sleeves or they're working on something new. Everything's been falling right off of them. We got to go, though.

We'll be back next week. Talk about that and many other topics, sir. Good show. Episode 254 on the 24th of January, 2024. Pitcher Power Hour in the books. We will be back Wednesday nights, 7 and 8 p.m. Eastern. Bring you the news and analyze it. Good show, Ben.
