The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Patriot Power Hour #286 - Part 1

Episode Date: November 21, 2024

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 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. © transcript Emily Beynon ¶¶ 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, November 13th, November 20th, 2024. Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, here with Future Dan. Episode 286, huh? 28 286 that's correct

well we're two weeks out from historic election and uh political prosecutions are a big big big fear by those who perpetrated him against Trump right now. Checked out a little mainstream radio right before the show. A renowned bankster network that will be left unnamed was bringing on a New York University law professor speaking at length about what the corrupt Department of Justice under Biden, what those individuals are facing from what Elon Musk termed the hammer of justice, Matt Gates' AG nominee. But the interesting part about this interview that I just listened to was eventually

the evening host pleads with the professor to tell her how the Department of Justice must be independent of the president. And the New York University law professor clearly said that the Supreme Court has made it clear that all executive power resides in the president of the United States, just like Article 2 of the Constitution always said. sort of a post-World War II understanding that, you know, the Department of Justice is to be independent of the White House is coming apart at the seams. And really the last time that happened was when RFK Jr.'s father was attorney general for RFK Jr.'s uncle, and both ended up getting assassinated, didn't they? They did.

We've seen assassination attempt on Trump. Worried about that taking place again, of course. But, hey, this is a good example of history rhyming. But as I've been saying, with the advent of more technology, more dangerous technology, but also more helpful technology, i.e. the internet, i.e. podcasts and networks like Prep Broadcasting Network, everything is moving a little bit faster these days. What do you see? All right, here's a good question question we've talked about self-deportation of illegal immigrants what about self-deportation of DOJ and other agencies is that going to be enough

how many people truly need to be prosecuted how many people do you think will be truly prosecuted rather than just scared off, go back to your holes, get out of government? Well, there's always a large exodus in the senior executive schedule, high level leaders of the federal government, you know, above the civil service class that is meant to stay, you know, for careers as bureaucrats, right? The, you know, the senior executive schedule turns over. Those are political appointees. Now, below that, will there be a massive exodus or will they stay behind? I've seen reports where, you know, people are advocating that they all just take vacation in January because federal employees get like a massive amount of vacation per year for their compensation, like over a month.

And if you're very, very senior, more than that. So there's going to be resistance in the lowest levels of career bureaucrats who, you know, they don't have an alternative. That's their career. They're going to stay. It's the senior executive schedule of the, you know, you know, department of justice that will be leaving. They're quitting. They're gone. They couldn't stay if they wanted, they'd be told to leave. Right. It's, it's the prosecutions that, you know, the, the left really fears is coming their way.

It was ironic listening to this interview where the New York University professor was going through all the things that Trump's department of justice can do to prosecute and bring about investigations, very expensive investigations to comply with and to defend against without any irony to the fact that it's exactly what they did to Trump for four years. That's what, of course, I'm thinking in the back, and we both know that. It has been weaponized. They're the ones saying it's going to be weaponized. Trump's weaponizing weaponizing and uh other uh descriptors as well but it's just the irony is crazy and that's not the doj is just one example of them talking about what they've been doing for four years or i would say pretty

much all the way back to obama with a slight reprieve attempt to reprieve in between 2017 and 2021. They, I guess there's two options, the cognitive dissidence, or they're just truly evil and purposefully lying, gaslighting. I think some people are in one camp, some are the other, a lot are in between, right? I know a lot of people that will just lie because they hate Trump. They know it's a lie, but they think it's a lesser of two evils. So there's a lot of people like that. But then again, there's a lot of people who are able to hold two opposing viewpoints at the same time. I think it's totally fine. And unfortunately, that's a good segment of the population. Yeah, it's a good sign of mental illness maybe too.

Meanwhile, Ukraine, war is heating up. Russia's trying to grab as much territory as possible ahead of Trump's inauguration. And Biden is pouring aid into Ukraine and putting on the green light to use advanced missiles, our deep strike, state-of-the-art ATAKOMS missiles to strike inside of Russia. Meanwhile, Russia is putting forward lower thresholds for use of nuclear weapons,

does have other hosts on Pepper Broadcasting Network, in particular the esteemed Dave Jones, concerned that we're on the eve of some of the precursors of World War III. I dropped by NBC guys' homestead today, actually. Picked up some eggs and talked to them for just a few minutes. I was on the run. But we talked about how Biden authorized that. Within 24 hours, those attackums were used,

and then now the U.K. and some of the other NATO countries are kind of piling on. Like, yeah, that's the right thing to do. Apparently Germany was like, no, we probably shouldn't do this. Germany of everybody, of course. They and Russia have quite the history together. But yeah, that's super concerning. Even when we say non-nuclear, the fact that they're launching these very sophisticated cruise missiles

into Russia proper, hitting ammo dumps and military bases, tons and tons of damage to material and i'm sure people you know people in the army are dying so you know there's only so much that rush will take with before they retaliate now hopefully it won't be nuclear we'll talk about that i think after our dashboard i want to hear a lot of what you have to say about that but even total take nuclear totally off the table which you know let's just do that hopefully that'll never happen uh just russia pounding the shit out of kiev with conventional artillery and missiles that they could do could level half the city very quick the u.s embassy evacuated um that's just a massive escalation that even

non-nuclear is just like horrible so yeah and that's just you know biden and friends trying to get across that finish line instead of realizing they're lame duck and you need to step aside apparently putin wants to talk some peace maybe with trump i don't know you know we got a couple minutes till we go to the dashboard today. Future Dan, as always, we'll go to that news dashboard. Any thoughts on what I just said right there? Hey, why don't we hang on to those thoughts and do the headlines in a moment and then dive into that one.

Meanwhile, a week ago today, Bitcoin all-time high, $93,000 per coin. Tonight, touching $95,000 per coin. Where do you see the end of this run-up? And are we going to see more headlines like we did today about an official White House advisor for crypto? First ever White House advisor for crypto being thought about by uh the transition team that's driving some of the bullishness for sure obviously uh bitcoin up big time just in the last three weeks since trump won uh less than three weeks really um look i think bitcoin's going past a hundred thousand at this point.

But that doesn't mean it's going to even happen before end of the year. It could. It certainly could. We could talk about it. And I have some predictions that we made at the very beginning of 2024 that we'll revisit at the end of 2024 where Bitcoin prices. Here's a hint. It's outperformed even one of my best case scenarios. There is a lot of folks that thinks 100K is a good time to get out or it's kind of a sell wall, but I think

it'll go past 100K. And if and when it goes past 100K, we'll see it at 120K within just a couple weeks, maybe up to 150K before we get a pretty big pullback. It's very volatile, both up and down. But, I mean, we've seen more than a doubling this year. And since Trump, I don't have the exact prices, but from about $70,000 up to about $95,000 just in the last few weeks since Trump went in. Again, a lot of that is strategic Bitcoin reserve or just being pro Bitcoin, getting rid of capital gains tax, treating it not as a commodity, but as money as currency. So getting rid of taxes on it

hasn't happened yet, but i will say a lot of other people are buying it for other reasons all across the world irrespective of that so uh i've obviously been pro bitcoin since we started and it's gone from it was 20 000 when we started this show. It went as high as $68,000, $69,000. Then it dropped all the way back down to like $15,000 or below. Don't forget, it COVIDed. It was only at $8,000. It dropped so much, so much volatility. So I personally take a little bit of profit as it goes up, and then I'll buy a little bit when it goes down. Final thing, get off zero. If you've always wanted Bitcoin but you think it's too high, just buy a little bit this week.

If it goes down, buy a little more. If it stays the same, buy a little more, like in a week or two or in a month. Just don't have zero, right? Get off zero, and then it's kind of like starting a diet or a new habit, kicking a a diet or or a new habit you're kicking a new habit or starting a good habit gotta get it the nurse is big time you gotta get off zero you gotta have just try it out even just like 50 bucks worth just to see what it's like

it's pretty cool actually when you can experiment with it and send it to people just sending them like a dollar right a dollar worth of bitcoin so that's all i'll say about that right now future dan but i'm definitely liking it yeah this uh spike in its price i'm just looking to see where the other shoes drop and if there's some kind of banking calamity in the near future. Yeah. Highly liquid, you know? Yeah. Why have we seen that happen? It happened in March of 2020. Why, you know, when the banks went a little bit shaky last year,

why does the money fly out of bitcoin when the banking system gets unstable highly liquid it can be bought super easily sent super easily but also sold super easily so if you purchased it as a trader or for short term not like myself to hold in the long term and to use for other reasons not just to invest and try to flip it for money like in a few hours or a few days right long story short a lot especially now with these etfs but wall street big money that's become a bigger bigger part of bitcoin and if they start getting margin calls on anything in their portfolio, whether it's Bitcoin or just their S and P or their NVIDIA or overall, just their portfolio is falling apart because of a crisis. Think of 2008 or think of COVID March, 2020, something

like that, or even worse, if a nuke actually did get detonated in ukraine i mean bitcoin might lose 30 percent overnight now will it bounce back i don't know i don't know have your gold and silver and physical preps though because the power goes out you ain't gonna have your bitcoin that doesn't mean your Bitcoin's erased though. As long as the entire world isn't blown to pieces, your Bitcoin will be safe somewhere on the network. And the network is literally worldwide. That's the best part of Bitcoin, but it is very volatile and yes, it can go down big time if there's another financial crisis. So if you're looking to buy the dip again get off zero like i said but be prepared because if it drops from let's just say 95 000 to 40 000 in in a week or two because there's blood on the

streets financially or otherwise well maybe that's when you can get in because i still think in that scenario as long as it's not literally mad max and we have electricity in the internet i still i think bitcoin would bounce back stronger than ever after that first you know cut off at the knees so it's kind of two levels there there's you know a prepper financial strategy level and then there's you know after massive calamity, survival level. And at the survival level, the counterargument to Bitcoin is if the grid's down, your access to your Bitcoin is severely, severely impaired, right? So let's not talk about what you do when you have Bitcoin once it's survival mode in extremists. Let's talk about coming into year one of the second Trump presidency, shakiness in the banking system that had always been there, but it sort of patched over. We're going to have a turnover in the Treasury Secretary.

Chairman of the Federal Reserve might be under pressure from Trump, too. Could be outright fired. I consider what Congress enacted in 1913 effectively the executive branch of the U.S. government, in my opinion. And I think there are Supreme Court justices that would agree. court justices that would agree. So how can you be prepared to maximize your potential for improving your prepping situation if you know that this highly volatile currency slash asset could just absolutely fall through the floor if the banks get shaky. And earlier, Ben, you talked about an ETF and a margin call. And ETFs aren't the blockchain. They're not Bitcoin.

They're derivatives of Bitcoin. Can you break that down perhaps for new listeners who aren't so up on the financial lingo? All right. In all of history, no matter what, there will only be 21 million Bitcoin. So keep that in mind. Only 21 million ever. They can't print more create them

out of scratch only about i don't have the exact number but like 19 million exists now and there's a couple million more that'll be mined over the next century over time that's about all you need to know but 21 million bitcoin that's it now just because you don't own a bitcoin or any bitcoin doesn't mean you can't still bet on the market just think of it that way just think as wall street as betting on bitcoin they don't even need to have Bitcoin to bet on it. Okay? Just like you could bet on NFL. That's an ETF. It's essentially an ETF, yes. Now, an ETF is not levered, really. They actually do take custody of the Bitcoin.

So, ETF has some exposure to it, but there's degrees to it. It's not just black or white. That's an exchange-traded fund. It's a derivative of Bitcoin, right? Yes, you can invest your dollars into that, and that fund will buy Bitcoin on your behalf. Now, they have rules and regulations where they need to keep a certain amount of that Bitcoin.

Maybe not dollar for dollar, but they can't lend it out fractional or reserve banking style like 10 to 1. They can't say, yeah, we owe you 10 Bitcoin, but then they only keep one in their vault. They can't do it to that degree. But some other derivatives and options in trading that's what i'm talking about the impact from those non-bitcoin holders people that don't actually even own bitcoin it's the betting they are driving the prices when there's major collapses in and also major spikes. But a lot of that is relatively temporary,

and there's arbitrage where people will say, hey, Bitcoin's super cheap. I'm going to come in and scoop some up right now. And they actually buy the real Bitcoin at that price. Now, I don't want to get too wonky, but we've talked a lot about gold versus paper gold in the past. It is the same thing. Real Bitcoin, there's only 21 million.

But in terms of paper Bitcoin, derivatives, different vehicles for betting on it, options, all that crap, there is a lot more than just the 21 million equivalent. And there's only more and more of that going to come into existence. But that's not real Bitcoin, number one. If that stuff goes down, people may start panicking, and some people will end up selling their real Bitcoin. But what I'm trying to say is that's not really going to happen in the long term. It might happen in the days and weeks

of a panic but within months if not sooner that price will go darn near back to where it was and really might spike way high higher when everyone's like i don't want to own any stocks i don't want to own any bonds i want some bitcoin instead. And you might see Bitcoin skyrocket to 300, 400 K a year later, you know? And that's the scenario that I'm envisioning. If the only thing, if Bitcoin is deemed the safest place to put your wealth after a banking collapse, after a banking collapse, all the other knock-on effects of a financial crisis are still going to be coming, having their effects in the real world economy, right? And if not the stability of our rule of law, right? you know, rule of law, right?

Having the ability to flow funds into Bitcoin after the next financial instability episode, which if I understand your point of view on these matters is, you know, nearly inevitable, that, you know, you would actually see that, you know, massive, you know, exponential growth in your investment at the right time to transact it into real-world tangible preps during a crisis. Now, there's a lot of benefits of Bitcoin, but one of the best is you can send it to people and cannot be stopped. One of the issues of a bank collapse is you might not be able to access your account, or you might be limited. Or imagine there's another pandemic, but it's even worse than COVID,

and they come out with a shot, and they say, if you don't take the jab, you can't come into our office or into our bank teller, and that's only a way to access more than $500 a day. I don't know. A lot of reasons why you don't want to have your single point of failure of your ability to transact as your bank. So you're your own bank with Bitcoin. Now, a lot of preppers and people out there, you're not going to be sending them Bitcoin for supplies after stuff hits the fan, even with the Internet and stuff. But that doesn't mean you can't use your Bitcoin to acquire something else that you can't barter with your neighbors or other people in a local market situation. Well, I'm thinking before it comes to that that's sort of dipping into

survival scenario right sure but but when when when people get debanked or it becomes very hard to use the banking system fiat probably will you know inflation will be running at crazy levels again so every day you're losing the value of your fiat dollar. But if you've seen, you know, let's say a thousand dollar investment in Bitcoin turn into five grand. That five grand could be transacted into fiat and, you know, it but while it's still worth something right oh for finalize finalize some you know big ticket perhaps maybe that night vision that you don't have yet right there you go perfect a great example whether precious metals hell i think jambillion and a lot of the big vendors take Bitcoin. You can send them Bitcoin even.

But you could also sell your Bitcoin for fiat and then buy, like you said, night vision goggles. You could put a down payment on some land for your bug out place. You could get some ammo. I purchased myself a nice firearm and some ammo a year ago with a couple years ago. Time flies. With some proceeds. Again, you've got to be diversified in everything in life.

But also, when everyone's selling, buy a little bit. When everyone's buying, maybe sell a little bit. Especially if you've got some profit. And I agree. Even if you don't get 10x return on Bitcoin, even if you've got a doubling in the next three years or five years, back in the day, you'd be happy with 5% gain a year. Bitcoin's been returning 30% or 40% per year every year on average for 15 years.

It's got to stop somewhere somewhere but uh doesn't seem like it's happening yet by the way the total value of bitcoin is now more than all of silver so all the silver in the world is worth less than all the bitcoin in the world currently speaking of diversification if you have a basically a slush, right, you did your own bet, right? You took money that you knew you could afford to lose it if for whatever reason the intangible digital currency known as Bitcoin ever dropped back to severely low levels, right? So you're going to take that money and say, I'm going to place a bet that during the next bank crisis, I'm going to have the cash available and during the next bank crisis, it's going to dip majorly and I'm going to buy it then and then I'm going to watch it run back up

afterwards and now it's time to go assess the situation. What kind of crisis is it at that point in time, right? I think it's too simplistic to say that all the potential combinations of crises would lead you to all the exact same set of preps. There are fundamental preps that you you got to have hosts on this network talk about them constantly. And they're very good security for any scenario. What I'm thinking about is, in addition to that, having essentially a slush fund running on this that allows you to purchase what you need for the crisis that you're facing that actually caused the digital

private currency to skyrocket that's exactly what you can see at least some of your bitcoin as and that's why i see some of mine as uh look one problem you might face is if there's a bank holiday, a bail-in, some sort of major issue, 2008, 2020, or worse, financial crisis. They may limit your ability to purchase a certain amount, or your bank may not even be able to send funds to an exchange for a while or maybe not at all, let alone if you personally get debanked because you don't pass a social credit score type of thing. So right when you want to get in and buy some, if stuff's hitting the fan and you're like, okay, I really want to buy some now, you might not be able to get in. Cash at ATMs for Bitcoin, right? buy some now that you might not be able to get in so yeah get off that atm for bitcoin right you go down there with greenbacks and feed it into the bitcoin atm can't you

i consider that the third safest most anonymous way to get bitcoin the first way is to be a bitcoin miner we won't even get deep into that but if you mine bitcoin that's pretty darn anonymous a second most anonymous is have buy it from another person so you know you send them cat or you know probably best to meet them in person give them cash and they send you Bitcoin. That's pretty much anonymous, but not very realistic to be honest, but probably the most realistic, but also pretty anonymous. You use cash. You go to this ATM. It's like a reverse ATM. You put the cash in and it sends Bitcoin to any wallet you want. You can create your own wallet free of cost, your own personal wallet. No one knows whose it is.

You're pretty much good. The NSA probably knows it's yours. Let's be serious here. NSA can do that. But that doesn't mean they can steal what's in your wallet or that they could do it easily at least. So, yeah. If you're in an urban, suburban area within a few mile radius, if you put in, well, maybe don't put it in Google because they might track you. But if you search or somehow find out where some Bitcoin ATMs, just put it, you know, BTC ATM, Bitcoin ATM.

There's a lot of them out there. And again, you can just bring your cash there a couple hundred dollars a week five hundred dollars a month whatever put it in there and you have no bank account linked to your bitcoin no id like if you go on coinbase or some of these exchanges you got to give them your driver's license nowadays. Back in the day, you didn't have to, but now you do. Know your customer. KYC, anti-money laundering terrorist stuff, right? Because you're a terrorist if you're buying Bitcoin,

so they've got to check you out. But not with these cash machines. They're limited, though. I don't know what the limits are. You can't bring like $10,000 in cash and do it all at once, I'm pretty sure. i think it'd be really easy for cartels terrorist groups or state actors to exploit this to to wreak havoc in this country but it's not like that's just a you know a a straw man argument could easily be done by adversaries. But in the event of a banking crisis where you see a run-up on your investment that you knew you could lose it if it came to that, it could just parlay that into a significantly larger amount of money for last-minute preps. preps, I see that as a viable strategy. And I think under that circumstance, A, you're not necessarily worried about anonymity. And B, if we start getting news of any

Bitcoin-capable ATMs being shut down, confiscated, banned by local areas, that's a real stealth indicator that something bad's coming soon. Yeah. Great point. Great point. All right. I could talk about Bitcoin all day, but how about we get into this news blitz real quick, sir?

We are transitioning on Patriot Power Hour, as is Pepper Broadcasting Network. And so we're going to Patriot Power Hour, as is Pepper Podcasting Network. And so we're going to break the standard format, no music, no commercial. We're just going to keep on talking and jump right into the news blitz. Go for it, Ben. Yes, sir. I'm really looking forward to some of the improvements we have in store. I'm thinking by early December,

it'll be, have a couple of nice improvements. Before I go any further, I don't have any ads today, but let me plug pbnfamily.com, Prepper Broadcasting Network. Become a member. I'm a member. A lot of really cool tools in the archives as well as new stuff coming out pretty much weekly. James does a great job of that. So pbnfamily.com, and there's links all throughout Prepper Broadcasting Network. You can find it. Not that hard. Really a great network of people.

Check it out. All right. Time for the news blitz. Here we go. Start with the natural news, the health news column. Asteroid flies past Earth at 0.07 lunar distances. That's less than 10% of the distance between Earth and the moon. Not that far.

Health news. 5G radiation found to alter brain tissue of rats new jersey town is battling verizon to keep 5g towers off the beachfront be interesting to see what rfk jr comes out about some of that 5G radiation.

Economically, we went all through Bitcoin, but gold and silver, down, down, down. They're still not that far down, to be honest. But the question, is gold being demonetized by Bitcoin with billions and billions of dollars flowing into Bitcoin and billions and billions coming out flowing into Bitcoin and billions and billions coming out of gold. Or is it just a coincidence? We'll keep track of that.

Florida housing crisis escalates in five major cities as sales plummet. Federal Reserve pulls more than half of credit available through bank term funding program.
