The purpose? Should I email you? Should I put this on your action item list? Ah, look. You decide your own level of involvement. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour. the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. 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 future danger.com. Patriot Power Hour, we're live, October 29th, 2025, Ben the Breaker of Banksters.

it's episode 323 and i'm welcoming future dan back in the saddle what's going on amen uh great job running future danger last week congratulations i really appreciated it oh it was a fun time for those that didn't know i was editor-in-chief for a few days of future danger last week and got to see how it all operates on the back end and I was able to chip in a little bit. So it's not easy, but once you get a roll with it, you know, it's kind of fun and definitely keeps you looking out for news, left, right, and center. Yeah, that was built 10 years ago, Ben, this month.

10-year anniversary of future danger.com. So congratulations on that. That's a huge milestone. Yeah, we've got about seven years of archives. And it's just, it's just growing as a documentation, 2015 onward of the dangers that our country has faced. But good news tonight in October 2025, there's a lot of news, no doubt. But in terms of dangerous, qualifying news, not too much. So long-time listeners, Patriot Power Hour, even short-term listeners, know that future dangers,

the spine of Patriot Power Hour, the de facto news show on Prepar Broadcasting Network. So 10 years old, we don't need to speak too much about it, but I want to pick your brain at least 10 minutes, 10 minutes for 10 years. What do you say? Where did you come up with this idea? And how has it evolved over time, if at all? yeah so probably 2008 financial crisis made me you know start to pay more serious attention to alternative voices that said that the nation should be on a trajectory for crisis collapse right and I want to say 2013 time frame

right about the time of Boston marathon bombing I started to pay attention on predominantly YouTube of all those alternative voices and you can name many right and I think it's in that

time frame that in fact you were doing the original Patriot Power Hour as your own podcast So it wasn't just, you know, me kind of having a transformation to, you know, be a much more open-minded about, you know, alternative realities that are worth paying attention to. You were doing it, too, on your own, in your own way, website, and breaking the banksters as well as the original one-man Patriot Power Hour, which I joined as a guest. right yep so as i got to go find that inaugural one i definitely have it i got to go maybe use a i to scan through it or i'll go listen to a couple dozen shows but anyway to interject that that was a good time to help you out it was in or near october of 2015 because i was promoting

the website really it was right around launch huh it was right after launch oh my gosh oh my god i didn't know that long as well as reaching out and becoming a guest on the I.M. Liberty show, as well as reaching out and being a guest on multiple shows on the previous owners separate broadcasting network. I did several shows. Met yourself and James Walton. And in fact, I met Dave Jones, all separately that way, promoting the original launch of Future Danger. That's epic. I didn't realize that I guess I missed that connection that it was so close to the launch. I thought it was a year or two later, but holy cow. That's time flies, but on the other hand, there's been so much that's happened in the last 10 years that's been documented on Future Danger.

And for most of that time, on Patriot Power Hour, really, right? Yeah, definitely. And during that chance for transformation in my thinking, watching social media, it's really easy in YouTube videos to go overboard, right? Just to say these things are going to happen and they never come to be, right? Like FEMA camps and 18 wheelers with guillains and all the worst stuff, right? That, I mean, should it happen? Yeah. But it hasn't, right?

So out of the process of listening to those videos and try to digest, what's real, what's, you know, really worth tracking from like a, you know, a formal intelligence selection and analysis point of view, right? I'm not going to try to say this is a paramilitary or, you know, of a design of a, you know, former all-source intelligence analyst or anything. It's not, it's not that at all. It's just a simple heat map dashboard to look at categories of things that could be happening now. And if enough of them stack up at the same time, that's a crisis. Your preps are now needed. and I think what do you think what do you think was I know the answer I'm pretty sure maybe not but what's either what was the most active or extreme week of future danger in the last 10

years and or when do you think it functioned the best to alert and to give people time to enact their preparedness plans got a couple good examples in the last 10 years where it really came through. Oh, nothing compares to January through March of 2020. COVID. Right. Yep. Five years ago, more than five years ago. So right at that midpoint, yeah, tell us about that. I mean, some listeners can go back in the archive and we have some clips of it, but go through that. Yeah. So first headline that made future danger

was New Year's Eve of 2019, where mystery illness in central China detected Wuhan and it grew from there we joined prepper

broadcasting network like the next week and had our original set of broadcast on this network as Patriot Power Hour now in the body of Patriot Power Hour we started I believe it episode 67

or so and we're in the 300s now So that was a real test of this podcast on a bigger network as well as Future Danger, quoting the news in a way that was putting you, you know, as designed, weeks ahead of prices. It's not, you know, it's not crystal ball. It's not telling you something months away. But definitely within, you know, a one-month forecast period, you could pay attention and see growing dangers in a comprehensive way.

What I remember, here's a little analogy. It's hurricane season's ending, but there was a big hurricane in the Caribbean, hit Jamaica and big time. But long story short, to relate back, you see these hurricane projection maps. They call them spaghetti maps sometimes. and it's a projection of where it's going. But as time progresses, the cone of probability narrows. And it's more likely to hit certain areas

because there's more data, more times elapsed. You're pretty sure where it's going to hit. It's not a guess anymore. Well, I felt like that with COVID. Early on, we're like, hey, alert, alert. There's a big storm in the ocean. We don't really know what's going on, but it's an alert.

Be wary. That was early January. like you said or by February we were already for all intents and purposes the evacuation order for the storm that's coming and that was as you said multiple weeks ahead of the general population and when days or even hours could matter in terms of a bug out or going to get your preps before the horde like that's huge to have weeks I mean again even hours or days is huge so that's how I saw is that cone of probability narrowing over time. And I saw it happen in real time,

and that definitely showed some power of future danger. That was definitely the biggest proof of concept. Sometimes it's been interesting watching the heat map dashboard. It's very little news, lulls, right? And then also just patternless heat map dashboards where there's just sort of everything randomly pop it up and they don't seem, you know. So being able to watch it over 10 years has been interesting to see, you know, what I designed. Now I can see the news environment and is it diffuse and without any recognizable, you know, in your storm metaphor, you know, it's just a tropical low that could form into something or is there nothing?

there, clear skies, or are we seeing trends? Can we see like in a security column a couple of indicators, they're definitely being driven by you know, something in column four, medical and natural, right? So, you know,

understanding at any point in time what the news environment is in the aggregate, it was the goal. And I think over 10 years, I could say, that concept also fanned out. certainly really has now i will say had a little bit of a glitch out both of our audio as well as

the website interesting that that has to happen right now i'm trying to get future danger loaded again but today pretty minimal news we'll try to get back to that newsblitz in a minute or two if we can that's kind of funny though i don't think we've ever had a down day on future danger in eight years of Patriot Power Hour so the fact that it had some sort of gateway timeout while we're on air and that

had a little bit I'm trying to get the audio levels set up hopefully they're not too bad but L2 survive what's happening Farwell Forge Far with Forge is at a volleyball game says he probably wouldn't even be able to hear us anyway so anyway

we're exploring other alternatives to record besides stream yards just want to put that out there try to get this all squared away but yeah anything else on the anniversary of future danger where do you see it going in the future literally and figuratively yeah so just

the 492 indicators that I originally came up with just sitting and listening to you know info wars and prison planet and you name all the rest even Patriot Power are from Ben Cock and back of the day and

it came up with that list 492 and some of them are far fetched and have never been activated and many of them get activated and you know all the way to grade one shit hit the fan black on red and some

trigger all the time some have never gone to that happening now actualized right I would say 10% of that 492 probably top 50 um I have

You know, that's about it. That's about how many have ever made it to happening now out of the 492. So obviously in the last 10 years, we haven't had a, you know, historical collapse in the United States of America. But all the parts of pizzas are there to watch it go. Someone asked, you know, what point is it at a certain point because the Internet's going to go out? And like last week, we had, you know, Amazon web servers on the East Coast glitch out for two hours. And, you know, he couldn't reach sites. So does that rate, does that rate on Future Danger?

Could have maybe been a, you know, a top old green on the grid goes down. But Future Danger does have that inherent limitation. If the grid fully goes down, it's not much of a tool for you, right? But if you pay attention to it before the grid goes down and, you know, see the trend lines. That's what it's designed to do. some you know if there's ever more than 10 black on red grade one should hit the fan indicators i can tell you right now that's breaking records oh yeah because in octa of march of 2020 all of the covid news in column four natural and all the economic news in column three

the right side of the heat map dashboard was carrying that at grade one shit the fan black on red 10 indicators for several weeks in a row. So just to baseline us if we ever get past 10 active

at one time or if we start to see new ones that have never been activated getting beyond that 8, 9, 10% of the total. So you know 20 new indicators black on red in 2026. Then we know

we're kind of moving into a new phase stuff we've never seen go you know to happening now happening but again I like nights like tonight we get to reflect on what the you know the tool was about and how we approach it on this show but we don't have much for bad news tonight so maybe we can hit those headlines well I hate to say this but at least on my end I'm unable to open the website I literally had it in front of

of us i was sharing the screen on stream yard and this was not a stream yard error it was for whatever reason future danger not responding gateway timeout so i'm refreshing on a couple different browsers there were three headlines do you remember them by heart would you like to run through my memory yeah problem with stream yards i could look at them in my location and i could probably pull the site here but i'd have to leave the leave the browsers that that lets me be talk on the show at the same time that's all right we're already tempting fate with some of the tech tonight i hope the levels are leveled off i'd made a couple switches whatever we got 2026 goals let me tell you we're bringing patriot power hour and hopefully pb a into whole new levels next year

but we still uh got two months now and hey i have the breaker of banksters how about i go on a little rant because the fed cut rates today and j pal talked about it yeah let them have it let's have it all right i won't lie it caught me by surprise now i've been very busy

at work and other wise personal life but i always make sure i know when the next fed meeting's coming and i knew it was coming today but i just kind of like slipped my mind a few days ago and I looked at the news oh fed cuts rates 25 basis points today Powell says a December rate cut is not baked in so there's a little bit of a dip in the markets and I thought to myself am I just too busy with my life right now or as the Fed almost lost relevance

because we know they're going to keep cutting rates all the way through because they can't raise rates again that's how i'm almost wondering if i got a blind spot because it's like it doesn't even matter what these meetings are anymore because i know what the result will be so that was a little realization i had today um i guess my question you future dan do you think powell has gotten with the program too late jerome has gotten with the program and is following with through with Trump, or do you think his Fed speak about possibly not cutting

rates when they next meet at the very end of this year? Do you think that's legit? What do you see the Fed as right now? Well, you know, it's a body that votes. This is you know, presidentially appointed and

confirmed by the Senate bureaucrats, not direct elective elected officials, but they vote and it was I don't know the history on this because it happened this afternoon somebody will figure it out soon

but I'm wondering when the last time there was a you know a split decision where two votes by members of the Fulmic one four holding tat not cutting

and one for I believe raising rates So, you know, on two dissenting votes from two different directions, I believe that that happened today. I'll definitely have to take a deeper look at the votes. I do at least based off a cursory search. The closest fomic vote was a 7-5 split in August 2025, and we did talk about that, of course. And October 2025, which was today, committee voted 10.5. to two is what this is saying here again i haven't read the source material quite yet got home and

went straight to patriot power hour but it has been very close and you know even a 10 to 2 is not normal usually they're pretty unanimous over history so the oddity was that the two descents were in opposite direction yeah one up one down yeah well i think one wanted to double 50 basis point the other one wanted to hold that no one no one i was incorrect no one would raise one okay it went like that you know to cut further or to not cut was okay under so 10 out of 12 voted cut 25 basis points one wanted to cut even more and one wanted to just hold So I'll ask you, does that start to resemble a, you know, a contemplated, you know, body that, you know, is something that our republic should value as an institution? No, because all these people truly held it to account?

I don't think so. Right. Maybe they're being held to account more and called out more. People know some of the names of these officials more often than 10, 20,000. years ago so that's good I guess but they're making guesses right there is a fundamental you know they're trying to set rates

and we can have a whole conversation about whether the government should do that at all right in a purely libertarian point of view this is not a function that the government should interfere in markets for but since you got an institution

that does that I think it's interesting that it's getting you know different votes over different, you know, periods that show that, you know, at least they're pretending to be a, you know, a body that has disagreements and goes with consensus to try to meet their dual mandate. I don't have the answer to whether it's just for show or there truly is dissent and people are trying to cover their ass if things go sideways.

They'll be like, I was the one they voted X, Y, Z. That's what you want. is people to, at least in my opinion, in the life that I've lived on this earth, the best way to keep people accountable is for them to be worried about being held to account and covering their ass, not by hiding stuff, but by trying to do the right thing and building a paper trail of saying, I voted for this because I knew this was going to happen. All right. All right. Do I think the fed's actually doing that? Maybe, but I don't know.

All right. All right. So here's the question. If President Trump appointed you on the Board of Governors' next position that was up, you. Yeah. And you passed the Senate vote. Sure, that would be easy. Then how would you have voted today? Right. That's a good question. I mean, I can't understand. saying, obviously, right? Well, it's probably the proper way. Isn't that a no change in the rate vote? Same thing?

Yeah. Well, you know, people consider it a difference between a draw and a no contest, I guess, and fighting. So besides having aspirations to buy land with a mortgage at a lower rate,

what would have driven, like if, as a true patriot, looking out for the interests of this Republican people in the long run how would you have voted today cut it to zero percent because

at this rate the system will explode and die let's at least get as much final juice out of it before it runs over the cliff and but but or so absolute fuel on an AI bubble that will pop and there'll be a lot of losers but it would lay down a

nuclear-powered artificial intelligence infrastructure that is the world's envy for 100 years I get that that's and so another angle and pretty much you just covered it is from a national security point of view I definitely would cut rates right now to zero before because again Again, in my opinion, it's pretty much math, the U.S. is already losing its reserve currency status. At best, it'll be just a player at the table with a few other currencies. So while you still have an advantage, though, they still do have a huge advantage over every other currency out there. Use it. Use it.

You got to use it wisely, though, as you said, with actual infrastructure, actual national security and jobs not for a bunch of fluff and corruption and fake stuff that USAID shit you know what I mean trouble is cutting the zero would blow out inflation within 12 months 18 months the amount of dollars chasing goods and services you wouldn't even be able recognized you know just going to the grocery store going to the clothing you know wouldn't you know recognize those prices Yep. It's tough because I think that's going to happen anyway, so you might as well make it happen quicker so you can recover quicker, but everyone will blame you for it. It's so easy to be like, look at him. He's the one that caused it when you were the spark at best that lit the mountain of dynamite.

It's easy to blame the spark for sure. I think we're stuck with a committee like this that does a balancing act. but i think i think the people on that committee should be directly elected i do that would be real interesting how they could do that um yeah i've i've always said i need to think of more solutions like what would i replace the fed with how could i have that libertarian lean but still actually have a national economy that works Or make it a Senate committee, right? Amendment the Constitution saying, hey, you 12 senators that we vote for, and you select among yourselves, right?

Let them pick the 12 that should be there, right? But we vote for you, especially since we changed the Constitution over 100 years ago, It used to be this, you know, the state legislatures voted for the senators, but then they moved it to direct votes. A lot of people criticized that, said it wasn't the way the founders designed it. But if we're stuck with that, make 12 of them be the ones that are held accountable. Might have different, you know, monetary policy if people were held to account, I think. Not an easy answer at all.

One could argue that the interest rate shouldn't even be set by humans as an individual action, but instead by the market, and there'll be a lot of big swings up and down. But in the long run, it's better growth, less problems. Again, in the long run, that might be 10, 20, 50 years. People don't have the stomach to wait that long. So that's why everyone takes shortcuts and that perfect economic. model doesn't end up working in real life sometimes uh well this not having the stomach is one thing not having the remaining lifetime to see the benefit right true the better you're not

going to outlive the benefit so you you can't be invested in seeking it right well that's part of it you got to suffer for the future but you also got to use you know use some now don't just Save for the future. The bankers will just steal it from me anyway. Unless you're a patriot. That's part of my definition of what American patriot is. Right. Living your life and also, you know,

understanding sacrifices that need to be made for our posterity. Definitely. Definitely. All right. Well, we're already a good half hour in. I'll check the I forgot to check Future Danger again

I didn't have much else more to rant my rant was almost an anti-rant where I was like oh yeah the stupid Fed met today maybe I was just

again busy but I'm also like I knew what they were going to do and there's the Fed speak and a little bit I mean good points you bring up about potential dissent

and committee and should it be elected officials but I don't know I just keep the US dollar keeps losing value gold isn't going up real estate isn't going up silver isn't going up the dollar's going down funny enough though oil is just crashed all year that's the like one asset

that keeps going down future Dan is that mean the depression's on the way or is there's just so much damn oil on this planet i think maybe it's both yeah i don't know it's as long as there's enough capacity in the United States of America, you know, whatever, whatever sustains the pumps, sustains the refineries so that we have an infrastructure year, then I want the lowest price possible. But you can't have a price that's so low that it's, you know, killing the ability to produce energy, right? Yep. You can't collapse food markets that way. You can't collapse the medicine, you know, there's there's always that dynamic of low as possible cost but wiping out the domestic capabilities

you know just a bad idea again goes back to looking at things as a spreadsheet or a perfect economic model versus reality and national security and thinking ahead not just quarter to quarter year to year but five 10 20 years down the road that's something i'm certainly not a fan of centralized economies or dare I say, communists. China's not even communist these days. They call themselves that, but there's some kind of weird modern neo-communist

capitalist fusion of all the bad of all of it. Anyway, one thing they're pretty good at is come up with their five-year plan, ten-year plan, 20-year plan, stick it to it, even if it's not efficient, even if there's ghost cities, even if people are work to death

and bad things happen, they can still make, you know, accomplish some big goals long term seems like at least no man it's the soviet union style they're better than the soviets at this though i think no no you don't think so i'm following propaganda regimes that plan the economy are always behind us always yes per capita but they also got four times as many so we got to operate four times better to be even well okay but depends on what domain we're talking about but i kind to understand the math yeah well it's tough i won't help their military catch up won't help our AI be better in ours

won't help their nuclear technology be better you know all these things that you know that that we lead in severely stealth technology stealth aircraft they got to steal it to catch up to us. So the very core of their society that centrally plans their economy and doesn't allow the freedom to innovate and prosper from it, it holds it back. That is certainly the biggest weakness, if one of, if not the biggest, is lack of creativity, innovation. So they may be able to build a great bridge in record time, but that doesn't mean they can

innovate the front tier of technology is a good point yeah it's the more the government's involved the more as you've said many times capital is is malinvested right yep yep perfect malinvestment dead weight loss so we lost future danger on uh 10th anniversary i hate to say it for the first time ever on i think live on page or power hour i can't get it to load on my computer let me try a different computer i try a different browser um these things happen these things happen hey we're coming up on the eight year anniversary of patron power hour next month too so if that's that include your original series no that is i've gotten a little more than 10 years i believe i uh in fact i've been

been feeding some of my old, old episodes, even before it was called Patriot Power Hour, into AI, getting some transcripts. I got to actually do that. So I already missed my 10-year anniversary with regard to that. I'm like year at 11 and a half or something, but I need to dig into the archives. There'll be some gems for sure. Well, no newsblitz. I can vouch, though, that it was up.

There were a few articles. It wasn't out of control. I think the most severe grade was November 15th. The troops could potentially not get paid. Tell us about that. That was interesting, right? A donation to the U.S. government to pay the troops in that amount. That has to be strong lawsuits.

I expect tomorrow. here. Someone will not be able to avoid falling into the trap of suing the U.S. government paying the troops for the private donation. Melan, it was a melanare, right? Well,

this goes hand in hand with what I covered last week, which I actually thought by now there was a decent chance they would have resolved the shutdown. November 1st, the snap and EBT get turned off. But we also got the military pay will there be more donations i guess is the question doubtful it's a lot of money so uh map getting shut off is sparking concerns i i looked at that and i looked at that

headline i was like where does that fit on future danger and it doesn't directly but it could be argued to be a a precursor to riding right food riot um I think that the heat maps designed just, you know, let some of that stuff just start at riots erupting is the right way to handle it. So there is an indicator on future danger about, you know,

not directly, but, you know, in part, SNAP, the SNAP program, and that's the advancement of the Flower-Given strategy. Snap is a major aspect to it. 40 million Americans on SNAP I was looking today at some of the stuff that is eligible to be purchased on SNAP

like you can go online and buy lobster tails and get them shipped to your house and pay for it with EBT, right? So it's going to be interesting to see what happens, but I could very well see that benefit getting shut off and seeing hystericals

but ultimately proving a point which is there's many other ways for people to secure their food than from a government handout program like SNAP I think last week

identified it as a low grade and I was the editor-in-chief for a couple days let me know if you thought it was the right indicator government checks bounced Do you consider that a government checks bounce, or is that not really because it's just the checks aren't being sent out?

Oh, that's great that you mentioned that because that's one of those indicators that I never interpreted that way. But I can see why you did. So as guest editor, you triggered government checks bouncing, although I'm not sure that had ever actually been used. I anticipated that to be veterans, pensions, and other major payments, not a welfare program. So there's also indicators that are discreet. You know, military goes unpaid is an indicator.

Social Security goes unpaid. Federal contractors go unpaid, right? And the way the shutdown's heading, some more of those, you know, military goes unpaid. Those headlines are coming again. so that could form a little bit of a crisis if they play chicken and actually go to the point and not paying those things it's coming up soon november 1st saturday today is the 29th of october 25 the 323rd episode of patriot power hour 10 year anniversary of future danger

where do you see future danger 10 years maybe that'll be the last question for the night unless you have any other topics. We're, you know, 10 years from now, 20, 35. Sounds crazy, but 10 years went by fast enough already. What do you expect? Are there any big plans or changes you're thinking of? So, there is the possibility of the retirement of some indicators. Okay.

There could be some that didn't stand the test of time. It don't matter anymore. But not many. They're written pretty broadly and generally, so not many. That could happen. And from a website point of view, definitely would like to build in a native capability to search the archives and prompt the archives with AI. That would be cool.

It's not ripe for that yet, but I think within the next five years, they'll be very low-cost, if not open-source dpts that can look at a set of data and answer questions about them. And put now on the website as a free service would be the goal. Very funny, you say that. Maybe not funny.

Great minds think alike. Lately, in my personal and professional career, I've been gathering a ton of data. And I'm for this data and just categorizing it in large, chunks and keeping it for future analysis, not really doing it now because I'm like, well, in a year, two years, five years, I'll be able to go through gigabytes of data instantly with these AI agents that'll be over the counter, right? Instead of paying hundreds of dollars a month

like now, that stuff will be free. It'll be hundreds of them. Pretty much what you just said. If we're continuing on this trajectory, man, the data mining of all types of things, whether it's podcasts we've done, whether it's articles you posted, whether it's just pictures from, you know, my childhood or something, and be like, find that picture with mom and dad in Estes Park, Colorado, right? And boop, there it is, because, like, AI can do it. Anyway, I think the AI is going to be a really good tool here and that you want to integrate that with future danger at some point, maybe not quite yet. That sounds really cool, man.

I'm looking forward to seeing how that works out. Yeah, definitely, definitely. There's a lot of patterns, trends, data in the archives of future danger that are available now by download. If you got the ability to download a spreadsheet and look at it. So that is one plan. And as, you know, as the first ever guest editor, I gave you some quick instructions of how to get in the back end. Tell our audience, what, you know, how was that experience?

It's obviously a 10-year-old website, right? Well, the good news was to do what I needed to do. It was only a few steps, and it was easy to find. And once you did it a couple times, super easy process. There were a lot of, like, options and buttons and descriptions that I had no idea what the heck they meant. so I don't know if they work or what they mean to you I asked you on one or two and you explained it and it was pretty cool so there's probably like a way more functionality than I could figure out or knew about but uh it's pretty straightforward and I really liked how you could I don't know it I was able to find relevant uh indicator names pretty easily with the auto complete function or the search function of that so that's how I found a couple of those So you also used an indicator that I don't think I used often, tape of gold market crisis.

Yeah. I was really interested in your interpretation of that because I think my definition had always been more narrow. A headline that specifically called out, you know, the derivatives market of when you don't hold the, you know, bullion you hold a certificate of bullion and you know people make calls on that and you know some you know IRA gold investment scheme falls apart and collapses that's how I thought I would use that indicator but you threw in you know more general news how'd you come up with that well those that

listened to buy rants the last couple weeks i talked about how the physical silver is gone in london in the london exchange and all they have are the paper claims and that the premium jumped tenfold meaning the difference between the paper cost of silver and gold compared to the actual cost to buy it in physically usually there's a little bit of a premium on the physical physical stuff, if only because of the security it takes and the moving it around, blah, blah, blah. But that factor went up huge because, especially for silver, but for gold too, there were massive shortages of the physical stuff. So the price was skyrocketing and still is. Gold's about $4,000 right now, which is tell us this time last year that gold has been $4,000. Holy cow, be freaking out.

so it but it dropped again from 4,400 to 4,000 just like in a week last week right so i considered that more maybe a paper smash or uh using the paper market to manipulate it down potentially you know this is an absolute smoking gun evidence that they were manipulating and crashing the paper market to cover their ass because they don't have the physical stuff to redeem it so it can become a runaway snowball effect if people realize they don't have the physical then there's a run on the paper which means the paper price goes up or at the very very end at the event horizon if you will that's when the paper price actually goes to like not applicable it'll be super high until all of a sudden it's not even zero it's just like oh yeah your paper is actually nothing now that's the

shtf that's yeah that's what you meant more i think yeah i think yeah i think you you operated that that indicator better than I could if I could I will you know jump in there when I see some of these other articles throw them in there you know what I mean you got the login yep so day to day I got a list I'm looking at X I'm looking at other sources looking at the estimated lists and and trying to find the news that goes on future danger but by all means if you can manage manipulate some of those more esoteric economic indicators. By all means, I must have been missing the boat on that indicator for a long time

because I hadn't found headlines as precise to what you talk about. Or maybe it's because it's finally breaking loose now. I think it's more of that. You did have a few great articles, and at least half of them were from 2020 in March when there was massive increases in that physical premium I was talking about. And there was panic that, you know, well, the world was collapsing because of COVID

and everyone was going to die. So gold prices going crazy. Now that was calmed down, mostly through all the stimulus, trillions of dollars of that stuff and zero percent interest rates. So that kind of swept under the rug, but it did show up on your radar under that

under the paper gold crashes. So totally don't discredit. it um but i'll keep grinding and here's a question for you maybe this is not an end cap or night cap but how do you if you have like two or three indicators that a headline could fall under how do you pick which one to use because some of them could go under like two three or four indicators you know yeah you give me an example uh gold price collapse uh uh man Maybe that's not the greatest example. I don't know.

Maybe going back to the riots. And, you know, riots erupt would be one. But there's a lot of reasons surrounding that. And we've seen some of those flare up, whether it's the Democrats urging ice database and all that stuff. So, you know what I mean? Yeah. So National Guard being activated. And the National Guard federalization being resisted, right?

which we're seeing this year, big time. I haven't seen it like this since some anti-Wagan governors did in the 80s when it involves Nicaragua and putting National Guard into Central America in that scenario. So it's possible that governors do what they're doing, right? They're going to court and suing it. But essentially some governor could come and just say no. and his National Guard, Armadotte, obeys, and they just don't do what the president says.

That's conceivable. Those two indicators, activating the guard and resisting the federalization, you know, you kind of just look at what the meat of the article is or the site's wording of source article and just make a judgment call. This is more about that. This is more about that when oftentimes the same argument. covers you know both the indicators you can you know sometimes balance it out so that you know you got

you know it's a toss up just balance out the indicators so they're rounded out it's kind of the way i've always done it there you a little bit of a rounding error or if you uh especially if there's only one editor in chief you now i'm throwing a little randomness into it not much into the system but you keep a pretty consistent method which i'm sure you have have over the last 10 years or have you? Have you changed your methods in the last 10 years or are they pretty consistent? Have you found a particular groove? So, you know, when it originated, there's probably a lot more green articles.

But, you know, just topical news leading in that direction. But honestly, think about the changes in government censorship and just, you know, private side. censorship among, you know, the polluting mainstream media. Just the amount of news that is, that was once reported upon, but now, you know, is completely ignored. And also think about in the past 10 years, the rise of alternative media sources, right? So the news environment did a major transformation since 2015, right? and so editing future danger along the lines

what's resulted in is there's generally less news that rates on future danger it's a little bit on balance for the first five years a lot more trivial things might have been there now I will say that and this is sort of an editorship bias

right there's some events that are like major and there's breaking news and it requires being near the tool, the back end, and watching and adding headlines as it happens, right? And sometimes there's lulls of like an hour or several hours before there's more major breaking news that has to be covered. And as an editor, you're just watching for it.

But you're looking at everything now, and you're like, oh, hey, here's an article that, you know, I probably wouldn't have found during ordinary operations, but because the microscope is in the news environment, you're finding stuff. So there's a little bias there. During crises, other news will perhaps get, you know, overreported on the heat map dashboard. But from my mind, you know, and we are on the prepper broadcast and network and future danger does have a purpose, which is to help that community foremost

anticipate dangers, it's probably not a bad thing that other topical news hitting other seemingly unrelated indicators are actually making the heat map during, you know, a few indicators going red hot. Great. awesome show again congratulations on that 10 year anniversary anything else you want to hit on before we get out yeah I just wanted to check see if what I tried to explain there made a little bit of sense

yeah no definitely is I mean was there a question in there that I missed for me or you just kind of no just your reaction to that kind of because you do care about statistics more than It's not linear. It's not linear at all. The extra microscope is definitely, as long as you account for that, not literally. You're not doing a scientific experiment here.

But more of a microscope, sure, it'll sway your results a little bit. But there's a reason there's more of a microscope because there's a lot more potential for those smaller items to, you know, whether there's smoke, there's fire. So, I mean, that makes sense to me. If it's not linear, is it, how does that get explained in math? It's not linear. No, when, you know, if X amount of events are happening, it doesn't mean you're going to have X amount of articles. As there's more events going on, you might have double or triple the articles.

It could even be exponential. If there's a 9-11, for example, you're going to have 100 articles on here, not just a few. And again, because now you're looking closely at, all right, all that went bad. Watch out. And other things are going to cast. It can be kind of a domino effect. And thank God in the last 10 years, we haven't had it. But shortly after launching the website, as we talked about earlier,

I got an opportunity to meet you when you were broadcasting, and we've been doing Patriot Power Hour now for seven of those 10 years. So it's been an honor. And I want to thank the audience and the users of future danger throughout this period. we're going to keep on going strong, aren't we, Ben? You know it, you know it. Another great show of the books, 323. I'll see you next week for show in November, all right?

We will. All right, catch it in. You know, We're going to be. We're going to be able to be. I don't know. Thank you.
