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. And in that 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 ¶¶ 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 279, September 26th, 2024.

Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, here with Future Dan. We got a lot of news, Ben, tonight. But some of it is grade one happening now, but not a lot. Most of it, topical, precursor level information. So a lot of activity on the heat map tonight to talk about. Yeah, I like to look at those as either smoke signals of what's going on underneath the surface, but smoke signals might be coming up, and or building the base for the future. If you think of a pyramid or a foundation, it's just at the base you have a lot of stones,

and they kind of all add up over time, especially if they cross-pollinate with the news, which we look at all the time, the trends between the trends. So that's what we're here for on Patriot Power Hour. Future Dan, we've got a ton to talk about, like 30-plus headlines. We'll talk about them all. But gold all-time high today. Silver was above $32. It got smacked down probably by some naked short selling would be my guess.

But that's going on with the fed cut just a weekend and finance or geopolitical shakiness still around nothing really being solved out there at the least so gold all-time high silvers behind it big indicator all week is gold soaring and why is that a dangerous indicator if you own gold right you're related you got something that's worth more but in the big macro economic picture we treat that as news to pay attention to because of its you know second and third order effects or maybe it's the say it's in fact it's the second and third order effect of a lot of other bad news. Right, Ben?

That's how I look at it is almost a measuring stick or a weight balance of a lot of things. You have supply and demand, of course, but that's not really the reason that it hits an all-time high and has been on a rip and a roar because all of a sudden people really demand gold. Or maybe it is. Hey, you know what? They are selling gold bars at Costco. Countries could be buying gold without people really knowing, so there's buyers under there. But I think a lot of it is more of fear-based and just overall realization that the dollar is being debased.

So we need to get into gold. So there's, there is supply and demand supply is not really having an effect demand. There is a short-term spike in demand, but it's not like so crazy yet. And we're still seeing this price action. So if that demand really does spike, we will see $3,000-plus is what I'm trying to say right now. Yeah, so I think it's a measuring stick of distrust of fiat, right? Yeah, and water finds its level, and gold over millennia has been relatively consistent in its purchasing power it's the old adage is you could buy a fine suit with one ounce of gold back in the day and then now with 2600 that's a very fine tailor-made suit you can buy more expensive suits but damn that's a nice suit so it's the dollar being debased as much as people wanting to get into the gold.

But those are kind of the same things in a way. But it's why I think the housing market has gone gangbusters. There is more demand. And in some areas, supply has been restricted. But a lot of it's actually just the dollar that it's valued in is down a lot. So let's step back in history a little bit. January 1980, price action on the spot price of gold per ounce was skyrocketing, truly skyrocketing.

And it peaked at, at that time, $800 an ounce. And growing up, especially as a young adult, into my young years as an adult through high school and in that part of my life, I remember everybody pointing out, but gold did hit $800 because it fell a lot and stayed pretty stable in the $250 to $300 to $400 range for another 15, 20 years. But something happened that January.

Tell us what that was about and how steep that appreciation curve was compared to what we're seeing this summer. It was just massive inflation. There was also some cornering of the market. This happened big time in silver. So a little bit of a financial, a little artificial financial finagle going on a little bit, kind of like a squeeze,

but also true inflation that people that lived through it, I did not, but people lived through it, a lot of them are listening right now, know that interest rates had to be hiked a ton, and that was what was done, and when that happened, gold went down. But they're low in rates right now. They're not raising them,

and if they raise them, we're going into recession, possibly depression. That's where it stands. So I think rates are going to go lower. Inflation is going to tick back up potentially. And gold, yeah, $3,000, potentially by the end of the year even. We'll see, though. They're trying to manipulate stuff and slow this.

Actually, Bitcoin up above $65,000. And silver, again, above $32 32 up you know almost 10 percent in the last week but all three of those have seen a lot of selling kind of out of nowhere maybe it's profit selling but some people think they could be manipulation there has been admitted and fines paid on manipulation of precious metals by j.P. Morgan and other banks. So why wouldn't they do it right now? Hey, maybe it's not. Maybe it is. So going back to January 1980,

Carter's entering his fourth term. Soviets are gone, taking Afghanistan. Iranians had seized our embassy and had our hostages. Reagan was going into his first primary, New Hampshire, winter of 1980.

That spike, that run-up, even though it was only $800, but in relative terms, real terms, that was serious money, and it jetted up. It went straight to the moon, 10x. So we're not seeing that right now.

We're not seeing that kind of angle up on the price spike, are we? No, that would be like gold five or six thousand and that's almost doubling tripling in a three to six month period essentially what it did went from 300 350 up to 800 in less than half of a year back then uh and in one month it went went up like $150, which would be like it going from $2,600 to $3,200 in just one month. So if we start to see that, or by the end of the year, somehow it's up to $3,000, or actually more like $3,500, that would be more akin to what we were looking at. And if that happens, you know things are getting serious all around,

not just financially, but as you know, things are getting serious all around, not just financially, but as you said, geopolitically. And I can see all the different wars popping off, whether it's in the Middle East, whether in Ukraine, whether, you know, expanding to other fronts. And with Taiwan, any or all three of those by itself would put gold above $3,000. If they all go off, gold might, they might just halt the sale of gold or damn near start confiscating it down the line and not really joking. Well, of course, FDR theoretically outlawed gold, and it has to be in the playbook, right?

It has to be something where under martial law, it's banned or seized. Yeah, and they don't want to pull that unless they really, really had to. But it depends how much they enforce it. If they asked for it, very few people would turn it in, in my opinion. Maybe back in the day when they tried it the first time, a little bit more of the population would have trusted the government. But even then, who truly sold it back at that value only for it to be repriced much higher?

That's what would happen. Just like a gun buyback, but it's gold buyback. They'll give you something for it, whether it's the new digital currency, whether it's rations, whether it's just good old fiat currency, whatever. They'll give something to you, and maybe even it'll be at market price or at, oh, it's equivalent to 3,000 gold,

so I don't feel that bad about it, but it's not the same as having physical gold having their little script, you know? Even if it's U.S. dollars, it won't be worth much for long at that point. Absolutely not, because if they're going to that level, which they're damn near, but I feel like if they're doing that, they're also going to be looting 401ks with bail-ins, doing that they're also going to be looting 401ks with bail-ins and pensions will be underwater so they'll have to reorganize and stuff like that so yeah we have kamala in office we're gonna have a whole reorganization of your pension enjoy that well this is in the news that we really should bring forward at the top of episode

279, Future Power Hour, September 24th, 26th, 26th, 2024. It is a Thursday. We're usually live on Wednesdays, but we are a Thursday and we're releasing a little bit late, but

I mean, we're going to go through the dashboard. The gold and all that really hit me late, but we're going to go through the dashboard. The gold and all that really hit me hard, but I'm just looking at when's the next assassination attempt on Trump. Apparently not flying Trump Force One these days. Could there be shoulder-fired missiles lurkingking out there some teams that could try to sabotage it hey i'm sure there's a lot of rumors out there but we have at least two confirmed attempts within two months who knows how many haven't been reported so i i try not to think about it too much but unfortunately i'm like man what if today they get Trump? What is the world really going to be looking like?

And that tries to motivate me to get back to prepping a little bit more and also just enjoy life before we really go down a nasty hole. If we do, hopefully we won't. But, yeah, that's kind of where I'm at right now. Yeah, we're X number of weeks, several weeks ahead of the 2024 election right now. And I'm just looking at it as Trump's going to end this with the greatest political comeback in U.S. presidential history. And by the way, then retire and be protected by the same Secret Service that's performing like it is right now for the rest of his life. In theory, I guess he could reject that coverage. Or he's going down to defeat and being looked at historically as the Ross Perot that succeeded for one term.

Or he's assassinated before the election. Sort of three major paths in that man's life right now. Well, let's say he doesn't win this election. I think he'll be still thought of by a lot as he did a pretty good job of waking people up and getting the snakes out of their hole if anything that's if i had to give trump one thing that i really do love about him is how just all the people i hate just hate his guts and have to spill it and just look so stupid and ridiculous and i like that like you, he really draws them out.

So, no offense to Ross Perot or even my man Ron Paul, but Trump definitely way better than that. But hopefully he won't be assassinated. Will he win? And if he wins, will they let him in and all that shenanigans? It's like 78 or 79 days until inauguration. Hey, I guess we'll find out man uh the united states has been through some crazy stuff i think we'll get through this but we better you know bust our ass and uh be prepared there's no preventing them from getting in if they can't

make it happen at the ballot box. Except for assassination, though. Well, true, but they're definitely not going to let him govern. It'll be four years of fighting tooth and nail every single corner of that federal bureaucracy to get any parts of it to do what he wants but economically here's the good news he could just lift the boot off the neck of the american economy with a stroke of a pen because that's the same boot that gets placed on it by obama and then again by biden and and he could just unsign all those executive orders. So he'll boom the economy for some amount of time.

But in this next term, the best way to prevent another Trump, and I do think him and his phenomena is just the beginning. He's not a one-off. He's not the end. He's just one of many that will follow. Great point. Someone needs to follow that's

worthwhile. You can't just be overwhelmed by neocons again. You know what I mean? The follow-through needs to be legit people. Real Patriots, not just cutouts from the old gop that oh that's the new trump replacement no like i don't know i'm just saying uh you gotta follow through i don't know if there's enough political appointees that could go and reform the civil service that's thoroughly, thoroughly indoctrinated pro-loyal Democrat

at this point in every federal agency that's civilian and to a stunning and dangerous degree into the military. The military would be the easiest place. And I think Trump's previewed it. He's going to just start firing commanders and go straight on down chains of command until someone steps up who's not politically indoctrinated and in place to maintain the deep state. But the rest of the civilian government, the most we can hope for is he's going to check them. He's a check. And that's the problem.

You need another check and another check. Bringing about a second Great Depression so that Trump's name is thought of in this century like Hoover's has been in the previous century. That might be the final endgame. And everyone listening to this broadcast, be ready for that. All right, we're going to break. We'll be right back. We're going to hit the dashboard. A lot of headlines, a lot of topics,

and we're going to hit each and every one of them in depth. Well, maybe not everyone, but a lot of them. So stick with us. It's going to be action-packed power hour tonight be right back 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? It just ends in the total, unfortunately, the total destruction in an exponential fashion of any mathematical model. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

Patriot Power Hour. Time for the news dashboard. September 26, 2024. 8.36 p.m. Eastern Time. Let's start with economics since we touched on gold hitting a record high, nearly $2,700. Silver above $32. Bitcoin nearly $66,000. Debt also all-time high.

Every second your debt is at an all-time high, actually. Congress passes stopgap spending bill to avert government shutdown. So that debt will continue to hit all-time highs. There's an East Coast port strike looming. That could cause some inflation, delays, stagflation overall. Just problems in general. Going to nature, we have a huge hurricane, Category 4 landfall. It's actually probably hitting right about now.

Florida Panhandle prepping for Category 4 hurricane. Phoenix records 113 straight days with temperatures over 100 degrees. Swarm of over 100 earthquakes hit near Hanford nuclear site. 1,000 lives have been claimed by widespread floods. 4 million affected in West and Central Africa. Liberty column. Google search bias in 2024 election easily exposed. Go to futuredanger.com.

See all these articles and go click on this one because I'm going to. We're going to talk about this. Google search bias in 2024 election easily exposed. I want to see that for myself. So we're going to do that on air. Judge to approve auctions liquidating Alex Jones' InfoWars just after the election. 3,000 congressional staffers had their

personal info leaked. I guess I had J.D. Vance just today having his, pretty much being doxxed, having a lot of his info leaked, residents and address and lots of other stuff. Now, easily the most volume of any column tonight, twice as much as any other column, pretty much all of them combined, geopolitical or known as security.

Let's go with it. Senate committee releases report on Secret Service failures during first assassination attempt on president Trump. Media reports, bounty on Trump from would be assassins letter. So yeah, $150,000 bounty.

That's chump change. Holy cow. Russian president proposes new rules for using nukes lowers the threshold get into that image released of mysterious object shot down over the Yukon in 2023

Secretary of Commerce says Trump should be extinguished for good in 2023. Secretary of Commerce says Trump should be extinguished for good. Air Force to keep up bomber rotations in Australia. Meanwhile, China's testing ICBM. A little more than a week ago on our last show,

it was just around the time of the pagers, cell phones, etc., bombing of Hezbollah. Well, since then, some big bombs dropped in southern Lebanon. Israel bombs Hezbollah there, strikes Beirut. Meanwhile, Hezbollah retaliates certainly not in the same magnitude but tries to in other areas of Israel, like Haifa.

Further Israeli strikes expected. Hezbollah says scanning Israel's airdrop barcode leaflets deletes all information from any device. More physical cyber warfare. Israel and Hezbollah prep for ground war. The IDF calls up reserve brigades for Lebanon invasion

and Mossad's headquarters was a target of a ballistic missile that'd be like them taking a shot at the CIA in Langley meanwhile more false flags being exposed related to well well, more than one event. First off, the failed Trump assassin had a list of everywhere Trump would be from August through October.

Going back to January 6th, transcripts show President's request for more troops on January 6th was denied. So that's been put to rest like many other fake narratives that were anti-Trump over the years. Took long enough. And this, wow. Got to get the clip for this for next episode or put it in post-production or something. Gosh dang, if you haven't heard this one. But the DOJ Inspector General does not deny FBI informants

were among the J6 crowd. So another nail in the coffin of their narrative of what happened on January 6th where they've said multiple times there were no plain code feds or instigators or all this other stuff informants but they can't deny it now and well guess what trump did request more troops it was denied future dan that's the news blitz tonight. Future Dan, come in. You might be muted.

Yeah, it's a wide range of topics, and I was giving you a peace and quiet, making sure I wasn't in the background. But, yeah, I mean, where do we start? It's everywhere. We already beat the economic horse to death, I think, so we can skip that. How about we just hit the hurricane and get it out of the way? What's the latest you see on this hurricane?

Is that an October surprise in late september like a katrina level or not that big cap for tonight 130 mile an hour winds five foot storm surge that'll take life but chances are not in extreme amounts nothing you know outrageous it's not a Cap 5. It's not a Katrina. For people in the area, prepping matters tonight. In the long term, this is probably relatively typical hurricane for this time of year for Florida.

There does seem to be an uptick on some extreme weather now compared to other times in the year. I think we have a lot more to talk about besides that. So we might leave that to rest. How about we just go through, because we have a lot to talk about on the security column.

So let's knock out Liberty and security for the rest. What do you say? That earthquake swarm near Hannaford, that's problematic. Because the amount of nuclear waste that went into that installation, bad things could happen locally, admittedly. But if there was a severe earthquake, it's more than just the earthquake, right? It's a lot of very radioactive, very problematic things that have been next to impossible to clean up. Hannaford is one of the sites that was part of the Manhattan Project, right, originally. So to have a swarm of earthquakes there, that's noteworthy

because of the knock-on effect, right? Bad earthquake anywhere, that's noteworthy because of the knock-on effect, right? Bad earthquake anywhere, that's bad news. Bad earthquake near nuclear facilities that have that kind of radiation potential, much worse news. Totally destroy the water table, get in some rivers, get downstream, and just really cause some problems at the least, I guess. Well, I guess I was going to say they didn't put that in a great spot, but they kind of grandfathered it in, as you talked about,

part of the Manhattan Project, that area. It's where they needed to build it to make the Manhattan Project happen. Hey, it's where they needed to build it to make the Manhattan Project happen. And in the 1940s, they really weren't thinking about what it might be 100 years later. I think what kind of nice time bombs we're leaving are our great-grandchildren. But anyway, don't want to be too depressing about that. They're mostly financial yeah hopefully i i don't know what that i want i don't even go down a rabbit trail uh the financial one yeah they'll be reset by then

for better or worse so um anything else on the the storms or even with the phoenix the 113 straight days even for phoenix that's pretty crazy but um there's a lot of floods in africa as well anything else you want to hit on those no no other than that's the state of the most dangerous things in nature to the united states and severe things overseas we always watch that. I would make a note in your presentation of the heat map dashboard. Typically, you're seeing geopolitical news in column two. And I would go out on a limb to say that you've come to think of that column as geopolitical news, because it mostly is most of the time. But it is the security column, because there's a lot of indicators in that column

that come right on back to domestic security. And false flags being exposed, like truly exposed, like no one denies any more kind of exposure might to some people seem to be good news, right? You know, we get the truth out. The trouble with that is the destabilizing effect, right? The second and third order knock-on. So it falls in there right in an indicator

known as false flags exposed right next to the potential for the foreign Iranian Israeli war starting or even worse war with China or war with Russia with the United States starting that's how it's all

grouped right yeah great points even when I was saying that I was like well actually this is more of a perfect fit for threats both foreign and domestic. So it's more of security, not just geopolitical for sure. And actually today, this week, it possibly is the highest amount of domestic threats we've seen for a while. Definitely this summer into now,

quite a lot with these assassination attempts, but some other issues domestically as well, whether it's spies being caught, other foreign black ops. Yeah, we got a lot of stuff overseas. We've got a lot of stuff going on here. That's potential domestic enemies or foreign acting on our soil either either or

so we typically don't spend time talking about ufo uap phenomenon and future danger heat map doesn't actually acknowledge that as a threat right it should, but that's not the way it was originally organized and I'm inclined to keep it that way. However, when unidentified objects are shot down or identified or photoed or leaked or anything of that nature, I'm applying, you know, the principle of what's most likely is probably true. And I believe that that sort of stuff, in a large way, is information operations between superpowers. Now, whatever was shot down over the Yukon in 2023 or if anything was shot down could be Chinese or Russian sophisticated advanced technology

or maybe our sophisticated advanced aerial technology that is experimental so it crashed and they have to cover it up but in any event this is not something we typically talk about on Patriot Power Hour that it's experimental, so it crashed, and they have to cover it up. But in any event, this is not something we typically talk about on Patriot Power Hour, but we do have a headline about this. Maybe we can summarize the points of that article if you have it handy. Yeah. So February 2023, an image of an object that was shot down by an F-22 fighter shortly after it entered Canadian airspace.

Now they say there was harsh winter conditions. I mean, it was February 2023 in the Yukon, Canada, like at the border. So I can understand where maybe it wasn't as recoverable, and by the time it was or anyone could get a photo of it, it was, well, guess what? Covered up by the military. That's what's being alleged here. Why wouldn't there be all types of advanced drones by all sides that we wouldn't know about? How long were they able to hide you know all different types of projects

going back whether stealth bomber or the blackbird or the u2 or uh all different types of programs heck manhattan project i'm sure they knew something crazy was going on but it was pretty well done so it was uh so decentralized compartmentalized they did a pretty good job of it so anyway my point is uh i believe absolutely that russia and china have some crazy stuff that uh that the public wouldn't know about and our military would like to shoot it down more likely drone technology is what I would think because a lot of these things do G-forces that a human wouldn't be able to survive with. So that's my guess there.

And, you know, some of this could be a show of force, right? It wasn't really us shooting something unidentified down. It's us crashing something that's experimental and using the opportunity to make Russians, Chinese, Iranians, others, North Koreans, you know, wonder exactly what cards we are holding. Yeah. It's a whole new level of warfare. What generation warfare is this? I know that it's like sixth. Is that what it is?

Yeah, we've done that in previous episodes and called that fifth, sixth, with the information operations thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly embedded. Makes what the British did during World War II look like just the nascent beginnings of what was, by all historical accounts, great, great successes against the Axis powers with information operations and espionage. We're at the phase where it is thoroughly embedded in everything the militaries do, right? It's all planned. Like, even if China's going to test an

ICBM, both sides have already planned about what to say, what to do, how to react, how to influence public opinion at home, at abroad, and in foreign audiences with branches and sequels of how events might go. The information operation planners, the military deception people, they're working hand in glove all the time when strategic power is exercised. And quite obviously, in most cases, this is messaging, right? This is the kind of superpower messaging that happens. For just the US Air Force to announce it's continuing its rotations of strategic nuclear bombers in Australia. That's part of one of those information operation campaign portfolios.

They have people that just think about what that means in public opinions across the world and what the fallout and blowback or advantages to be gained in the information layer of warfare. So when we're talking about sixth generation warfare, we're talking about that being completely embedded, whereas before it was sort of ancillary, piecemeal, not always well thought out and not planned. That's with us now. It's done that way forevermore. Perfect segue into InfoWars. What's your thoughts here on Alex Jones and everything that's led up to the auctioning off of InfoWars,

his website and all, I guess, the IP related to it. He can still talk on air. It just won't be called InfoWars. For sure. And I've listened to a couple of his broadcasts about it. Not too much because it goes on and on about it a little bit. But essentially he says, yeah, his plan C or plan D is he would just do his own thing from his house practically on Twitter or whatever. Right.

But he would like for someone like Elon Musk or some other wealthy group of people to buy InfoWars, and then he would just work for them. It seems like what he's trying to do. Hey, in terms of Sandy Hook and all that, the whole crux of this, definitely seems like he went out of bounds on that. It did seem like a weird situation. He pointed out some things that were weird, but definitely, what? Like he went out of bounds on that. It did seem like a weird situation.

And he pointed out some things that were weird. But definitely, what, maybe went overboard on that. But I know he was persecuted and they put millions and millions of dollars. And the DOJ was after him big time. Now he went bankrupt. And there you go. I guess his justice served. You'd be the judge there. But like you said, he'll still be able to talk.

So free press being abridged, this isn't critical, highest grade. And I can see why on the dashboard. He's the brand anyway, so we'll hear more from Alex, I'm sure. Oh, never stop. I've seen him one time. I went to Bilderberg in 2016. I went to, it was in the U.S., so I went around there for a few hours, and I saw him bullhorning and stuff.

Interesting character, to say the least. But, man, he's big as hell like he's so barrel chested as crazy he's like like damn big and loud as hell he's let's just say he's more boisterous in person than even on air that's possible but uh but yeah you know long live info wars maybe rest in peace who knows um i you know i will definitely credit him and his in particular his movie called um end a game came out i think in like 2007 or 2008 and a lot of it was focused on the overall destruction of humanity whether through things like vaccines forced vaccines whether through controlling like vaccines, forced vaccines, whether through controlling

us by making us debt slaves, whether through social media and just the media and just overall getting sucked into the matrix, all that put into end game is transhumanism and stopping humans from being humans. Like that was a damn good movie. So if you've never seen end game, that would be my recommendation. and stopping humans from being humans. That was a damn good movie. If you've never seen Endgame, that would be my recommendation. Yeah, we're going to be humans being humans, speaking out about freedom, security, economics,

and natural threats to our audience. They can come and take Patriot Power as a brand. And not going to stop us from speaking out either. Hell no. No way. Now, speaking of AI, this isn't on the dashboard, but super quick before I forget, I ran last episode through AI. What was your grade of that? I sent you a couple screenshots.

I even shared a link. I don't know if you clicked and saw the detailed report, but it did a pretty darn good job of analyzing our show taking away action items etc uh and of course you know writing out a transcript as well so i might even do the pro and pay eight bucks a month and put some old patriot Power hours through that and that'll help us grab some old clips. I think I might do it. I was pretty impressed. It feels like it's gotten pretty good in the last few years. What about you? Yeah, so when you say AI,

you talk about a very broad field right now, but particularly you're in the zone of natural language processing and basically it's taking the transcripts, listening to us, and performing analysis on it. And I look forward to your results. It ought to be good.

This thing put together better than what a high schooler would put together in terms of an outline, a summary, action items. You could ask the AI. You could ask it to critique. You know, I don't have it on air, but I asked it to essentially compare and contrast your style and my style. It was pretty funny. It was actually the opposite of what I thought normally we are.

It said that I was a little bit more fact-based and you were a little bit more worried about the system. And I'm like, actually, I'm a little more conspiratorial. You're a little more measured at times maybe. But it said that. It was funny. I guess it all depends on the episode for us.

That's true. That's a great point. It could have been just one topic. I forgot what it was, but I'm going to be doing multiple episodes. I mean, this is episode 279 right now. We joined Prepper Broadcasting Network on around episode 80. I'm going to start on episode one or two or three. Not episode one. That's the last episode.

But I'm going to see what it thinks of what we were doing in 2017 2018 right around election 2020 covid all that that should be interesting probably a grand analysis to do a season finale with ben i gotta get off my butt and do it and just dedicate a little bit of money and 20 hours of my time and i can make like an awesome one hour compilation so i just need to do it need to do it um so next you any other articles you wanted to get into or any particular topics i wanted i had a couple in mind, but I wanted to defer to you maybe. Well, on the topic of AI, another form of AI that's growing in its capabilities right now is, you know, faking someone's voice, right? And it only takes a certain amount of audio transcript of someone speaking before almost anything can be scripted and it's going to sound like you saying it. I've listened to these and there's still some hiccups, I think, where you can kind of detect that, especially with pauses or cuts between statements that it's done with AI,

that it's not real. But I think that's going away pretty soon. So someone easily has the power tonight to download previous Patriot Power Hours and turn out you and I saying nearly anything they wanted. Well, that's horrible news, and it's true. But like you said, we're not going to be too scared of that. They could hack into our computers and put all types of nasty stuff on our computers, and then the FBI shows up the next day.

They could do all types of crap to us, and if they'll do it to our leaders, then they definitely do it to the common man. But on the other hand, if we're not scared of that, there's no way they can do it to all of us and any of that scheme would blow up in their faces if we're open about that and not scared of them. So that's just how I look at it, I guess. Well, the important thing is we've had 279 episodes

where we're approaching current events through the same exact lens with the same fundamental belief system. So if anybody ever hears something that's a radical departure from what you're hearing tonight and previous to this, you can count on it's fake. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. oh absolutely absolutely i'm uh i thought about this a lot actually and that's why i kind of came to that conclusion that well people can come and grab me in the middle of night too so it's like can't be just got a good deal with it uh but absolutely just smearing your character whether

it's with fake social media posts or fake audio or even visual if not yet then down the line because there's i have some webcam footage of me on out there for sure absolutely um not let alone at my work footage which they could possibly get through the microsoft teams and zooms of the world those are networked right into the beast for all intents and purposes. But anyway, yeah, yeah. We can't be scared of a government like that, though. That definitely, slippery slope seems like a history, right? The way to prevent a government like that is to speak out against it,

and that's what we do on a regular basis. And I have no intention to stop. All right. I like it. Well, I do want to talk about Israel, and we rarely talk about Israel on here. But, I mean, stuff's getting crazy over there. What's your take on Israelrael what they're doing against international law does it matter and are they going to invade with ground troops

i don't know in particular southern lebanon yeah i i don't you know it all depend on what treaties you're talking about that they they may or may not have signed to before it's a violation of international law. But I wouldn't say we rarely talk about the threat of Israel being at full-scale conventional war with its neighbors. This is a perennial indicator. But I think I said it just last week, and I'll say it again this week. We saw Israel and Iran exchange ballistic missile strikes this past summer, and that didn't go anywhere. against any of its enemies that's so, so strong that although for supporters of Israel and the frame that they put on things always is from the direction of Israel's under threat, and it is, it's small, the country's the size of New Jersey.

But realistically, they got a tremendous overmatch. And the airstrikes that are going on against Hezbollah right now, I'm not sure they need to do a ground invasion to attrit Hezbollah's forces significantly. I will say that between the pager bombs, other radio bombs, dropping leaflets that apparently can delete everything on mobile devices in Lebanon, all lead me to the conclusion that almost any electronic device in Lebanon held by any of Israel's adversaries has been intercepted and manipulated by that country's intelligence agency

to their military benefit. And now it's showing up. I feel like they're pulling out all the stops and new tricks and toys, and that means they're going to try to roll them up all the way, at least more than what they're doing now. I don't know if that's going to happen. Maybe not, but we'll see. Well, the stated objective is that all the settlers in northern Israel

that have withdrawn because of the bombardment since the Hamas attack. They're just trying to put an end to the missile strikes out of Lebanon so that Israelis can return to their homes. And, you know, how far they go to make that happen and where the limit is, I don't know. But if it's only a fight between them and Hamas and them and Hezbollah, that's a local war that does not directly affect the security of the United States of America. If they ever got into full-scale air, sea, space, ground, direct combat with Iran,

that we cannot avoid being pulled into. I'm certain. Is there a bridge between that? How does that transition? Any thoughts there? How do you get from what we're seeing tonight to a complete war with Iran? Yeah, where Iran is like, okay, it's gone too far.

Would Israel actually have to strike Iranian territory even more so than they've ever done? Well, I think the Iranians have felt that Israel has gone too far for decades. Do they have any power to do anything about it? I'm not sure. Doesn't seem like it. Does Russia help them out, or are they so strapped with Ukraine they can't or don't want to for other reasons, I guess, might be a question? The air defense missiles, the S-400s,

putting in the ability to make it a highly risky operation to bring a full-scale aerial assault on Iran. Yeah, the Israelis know that they would take losses. Even with F-35 stealth fighter technology, the Russian air defense at its highest level, it's going to cause losses. And how many S-400s Russia's transferred to Russia or to Iran, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure they need all that they can get their hands on just to prevent deep strikes from Western weapons into Russia by the Ukrainians. Right. Great point.

All right. Let's talk about that nuclear threshold being lowered by Putin. Deal. deal kind of a transition into that is have you seen some of the videos of huge ammo dump being hit and other targets in in inside russia being hit major logistics just blown to hell is that having a true effect or is russia so large and war machine is so big that that looks nasty, but no true effect on the, on the machine. Cause I'm asking that because if it's really hampering or it really is hurting Russia war effort, I think they might be more likely to use tactical nukes or threaten it even

more. So escalate a little more. What's your take there? The same take as I always have. There's a threshold, and using nukes is beyond a threshold that we've never seen between two nuclear-armed states because all of the strategic planners planners deep down through many studies, many simulations have arrived where the 80s movie with Matthew Broderick's war games got us. There's no win in it.

You don't use nuclear weapons in a limited fashion against nuclear opponents. You could do it to end World War II when the Japanese don't have nukes, but you can't end up having your opponent who's nuclear armed get into a mode where they're beginning to wonder whether they got to use them or lose them. And that is why no matter what weapons are given to Russia or are given to Ukraine that strike inside of Russian territory, it's not helping the Russian war effort. I just, I think, like I was talking about earlier, when the president of Russia comes out and announces that there's going to be, you know, he's proposing to the West, but I think probably 80, 90% to bolster public opinion at home. And if I'm wrong, I'm really hoping I'm not wrong about this, but I think I'm right.

I think you'll see out of the Russians, as long as this war goes on, periodically you'll get announcements like that. You know, threatening, you know, basically threats, veiled threats, and it's not really different from what we did with the Soviets throughout the Cold War. That went on all the way through then, too. I've seen a little bit of good cop, bad cop. I forgot. Medvedev is the bad cop, so he's always really dark and gloomy.

And then someone else, not Putin, but another trusted ally is a little less like, oh, we should just nuke the west right now try a little bit less um so really what there's and this is uh going right into your right into your point this is not just internally a message not just to your enemy, but also to your ally. Because Belarus, Belarus, Russia, their closest ally

was heavily named here. We reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Russia and Belarus as a member of the Union State. So, just affirming there as well. Yeah. I'm not sure it changes

the situation in the Ukrainian war a single bit. One thing I'm worried about is these more and more advanced, it's not just little drones going into Russia now. They got big ass

cruise missiles. Hundreds of pounds of explosives. And very accurate. So it's not like Hezbollah or Hermos launching some random rockets. Most of them get shot down and don't really do anything. Some of these get shot down by Russia

but some don't and it seems like they're hitting some pretty key areas bases and supply depots and stuff more frequently every month than the last uh so yeah but i also hope your analysis is not wrong for for what it's worth. How about that? Or it could be space-based railgun technology that is made to look like something else. And because we have mutually assured destruction with nuclear weapons, and because the Russians perhaps don't have

that kind of strike capability from space, someone in our National Command Authority recommended that we just take out those supply depots. There's nothing they can do about it. Seems like a risky game of chess, but the only way to win is not to play is the war games, quote. Wish they would maybe watch that movie again um we got a few more minutes i wanted to really quickly uh touch on the google fave favors liberal

bias in 2024 they've talked and so this article goes into great depth, actually, about and goes into many links, more importantly, of previous studies and of previous elections and previous cycles of just the tilt and even straight up censorship that Google has put on Trump. So what are you seeing here? Have you done any of these experiments to see if Google or other sites are blocking or manipulating things for the election? Have you tried anything with ChatGPT or any of those models either? Well, we're talking about two different things.

This is an analysis of search engine results. So part of that article explains that if you search for the Harris-Walz campaign, it's automatically the official link is the first result. But if you do the same thing for Trump Vance, it's like the sixth result, right? It just pushes it lower. Soft censorship. Yeah.

That low information voters can't bother to scroll down to get to the official link. Just make it hard for people. And subconsciously, you just think, oh, it's lower down because it's less relevant or less uh reputable like trust me the average web surfer knows that the lower you go in theory the less relevant the result would be so that's definitely subconscious info war against you

yeah but what they're doing under a trump administration could easily bring about an antitrust suit which google's ripe to lose that'd be awesome that'd be awesome if that happens in 100 years from now kids are reading about this and pre-law textbooks about this great precedent that was set for digital rights and this type of stuff. Uh, I don't know if the courts will go the right direction, but maybe they will. This is a fight in the courts as much as like at the ballot box and on these different policies for some of this stuff. So yeah, lawsuit away. It's kind of of the one of the best and worst things about america is how litigious it is that's my thought so to maybe close it out episode 279 of patriot power

hour september 26 2024 but maybe maybe zoom out a little bit because I threw out a word there antitrust suit Sherman Antitrust Act over 100 years old wanted to ask you as an adherent to free economic, free market principles free enterprise Austrian School of Economics where do you sit philosophically on antitrust laws? Because at a surface level, that is imposing obstructions to free commerce.

But there's a reason we do do have the sherman antitrust law where do you how do you parse that philosophically versus practically oh that'd be a great thesis or something we can just write 50 pages about it one of the biggest issues is when a monopoly or even oligopoly gets put together, they're able to manipulate and collude, and that's no longer free market capitalism. So preventing that or interceding, intervening, isn't anti-capitalism because they're already anti-capitalist because they're controlling the market in a non-free market way and i like to use the word free market more than capitalist as well just because that's more what i focused on um there i don't know that was a pretty good

answer but also like maybe uh i'm not gonna say say it's a tiebreaker or anything like that, but definitely a key flag is if, in terms of being too large, where you need to break up the railroads or break up things because they're too large, let alone the collusion part, when they can really manipulate the government, that's tough to say, but when they can fund and buy the entire Congress, maybe for the health of the republic, it's a little too large of an organization. And more than likely, I think a company that got that large and powerful could only do so by engaging in some sort of illegal acts and collusion anyway. Because the free market probably would not allow them to get that large.

They would end up breaking them up into smaller, more profitable spinoffs and stuff like that. Does that make sense? It does. To me, the antitrust laws have a paradox. It is. To preserve freedom that you desire and need and believe in, you got to exercise state power. And it falls into many, many other areas of our freedoms. You could basically go through the Bill of Rights and find a paradox built in where you're going to have to advocate for state power in order to preserve freedom.

And I think our ideological opponents understand this and have understood this and have plotted on this basis, on the basis of these paradoxes for decades. And I think that's an analysis, a diagnosis of how everything seems to be under assault right now. The think tanks and the political consultants and the schemers and the embedded civil servant deep state, they figured out how to tear down the freedoms by exploiting paradox after paradox that, honestly, the founders of our country could not have envisioned. And how to turn that around, how to stem that tide, how to break that without inadvertently advocating for state power that eventually will be abused again is part of what Patriot Power Hour grapples with.

I don't have a solution to all these all the time, but recognizing problems is usually the first good step. Well said. Great way to end the show, really. Good capstone. With that, I suppose next time we'll be talking will be in October. We always reserve the right to get on air at any time. This stuff does get out of control.

Hopefully, it'll be a peaceful weekend. Nothing too crazy. We'll be standing by. But future Dan, music's rolling. We got to get out of here. Another great show. I will be back with you again in a week, my friend. Thank you for the opportunity to do this.

Thank you to our listeners for listening to Patriot Power Hour, episode 279. We will be back sooner or later. Hang tight. Prep on. I am paying for this microphone. Thank you for listening to the Prepper Broadcasting Network, where we promote self-reliance and independence. Tune in tomorrow for another great show and visit us at prepperbroadcasting.com. you
