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 is live once more. July 9th, 2026, episode 353, 353. 353. I'm Ben to break our banksters here with Future Dan. It's going on, Future Dan.

We got three weeks pass before strikes in Iran kick back up again. They're picking up strongly tonight. The Supreme Leader Ayatollah got to have a funeral where the president promised not to do any strikes. So during that, the Iranian. Revolutionary Guard Corps hit some ships. And Trump tonight's letting them know it's a 20 to one kind of factor of whatever strikes they make, it's going to be multiplied by 20 by us. So that's where we're at tonight.

It's not treble damage, three times damage, 20x. And Trump said they're scum. It's over. They are backstabbers. I could believe that he. in true earnest fashion, tried to have this ceasefire. They broke it or some portion of them. It's not one unanimous them in Iran,

just like maybe not even in the banksters. But it sounds like that's, it's all, uh, I know one thing about them at all. I can say one thing about them, the Iranians. The hardest heads among them seem to be able to stay in power easily. Right. But I don't know if anybody that can speak on behalf of that regime in English without accent, right? Most countries have people that can speak English with very little accent, right?

There's no one left in the Iranian regime. They are down to the, you know, and I think quietly behind the scenes, even they're getting intruded. So this could be just, you know, what it takes while covert intelligence war inside the country. goes on right right just kind of throttle in them now sort of uh slowly slowly just let let let the rot happen from inside and whenever whenever whenever they strike out conventionally hit them times 20 meanwhile just work them on the inside that's why i think i said in recent episodes of patriot power that you know there's no timeline for this it's it takes what it takes but This is an awfully hard-headed regime.

And so I have no idea if these numbers will be true, but let's say 70% of Iran wanted to keep the ceasefire and somehow come to an agreement of some sort or another, at least keep negotiating in good faith. But if the 30% hard-headed are the ones that end up in control, which makes sense, authoritarian's usually the worst of the worst, will continue in control. Until it breaks, like you said, hopefully it'll break.

There is no timetable, and it's got to be deterioration. and a tritting on the inside. It's just several more months, a year or two, or are they only weeks away? So this is a last gasp. I'm not sure, but we'll be covering it here. You know, they say that, you know, some say that 3% of American colonists

were in revolt against England. And that's what it took to bring about victory in the American Revolution. So take that what's worth. But if true, then the question is for the Iranian They had their revolution 47 some odd years ago, right? So what share of the country does it take to not attack and get the government they want with the revolution?

How many more does it take to defend it? I think it's like almost the opposite of the conventional military, you know, thinking where you have to attack with three against one to assume that you can have a victory. in this case I think the Iranians almost have to do a big multiplier so that'd be a 10 to 1 right so you know 30% of the country defending instead of three so yeah mosaic regime right maybe the religion and the extreme Shiism extends thoroughly down layer after layer with the the clerics and the generals or the you know the colonels whoever's left over there and it just we'll see how resilient it is is but they definitely took advantage of that funeral to fire some rounds at ships and the straight-at-home use you know it's no one's going through it tonight oil not spiking to triple digits other assets whether it's stock market fixed income etc is not absolutely panicking they're not i'll take gold and silver as an example but oil as well they're not you know as low as they might be or as high as they would be.

Honestly, with this recent news in the last 24, 36 hours, pretty tepid. So I don't know if that means it was already priced in. People think this is going to be short term or irrational markets. Could be any of that right there, future Dan. Yeah, and part of what the Air Force and Navy is doing right now is just cinching down on target envelopes that they've been, you know, they've had three weeks of ceasefire.

to really, you know, concentrate on. And now, you know, Trump's, you know, telling the world that 27 small landline boats just got whacked, right? So if that's accurate, our military in these strikes is just using the time to just pick out what's next to target. And the Iranians still aren't receiving strikes on their civilian infrastructure or what's actually dual-use infrastructure, right? So that's where we're at tonight.

I wouldn't be surprised if we work our way to another truce, and by the end of August, it goes back to this again. Sort of, we always like analogies or trying to, maybe sometimes we overreach with them a bit. But I've been watching a lot of mixed martial arts UFC lately. I love the knockouts, but the submissions in the wrestling, I'm up for that too. I like that.

and when you get someone in a submission, if you don't lock it in right away, sometimes you do have these periods where you're just kind of not full squeeze. I'm not going to call it a ceasefire. But then you kind of pulse it and you hit them hard and then maybe you kind of wait a little bit

just like an anaconda. They, of course, do this tighter and tighter. So maybe that's what's going on here. I don't think this is what Trump expected. Pretty sure you expected to wrap it up by now, but that's just how things go, I guess. Yeah, I know. he's never, by what he said out loud, you'd have to say he didn't expect it, but he says a lot of things out loud designed to achieve an effect that I don't think he necessarily believes, right?

So UFC fights a good metaphor. What round if round five is, you know, either the collapse of the current Iranian regime or just complete U.S. withdrawal, unilateral. will ceasefire and they're left essentially alone whatever wherever the end of round five a championship fight is what what round do you think we're in that's a that's a great question it's still really early because they could do this for three more years until trump's out of there right if they wanted to i don't think i reckon last that long so they'll probably tap out before then so someone's either got a tap out before or not but it's like it's like the second round it's not that long it's not in a historical context.

It's been four months. Is that right? Four and a half months. It's very short. So second round towards the second. But every, you know, it's, I don't know, just costing extra resources a little bit. Just every day, every second that ticks off the clock is not beneficial.

I would think to Trump. But, hey, you know, at this point, he's going to secure the submission. Just will be third round, fourth round, or later on, how about that? You know, militarily, though, every victory strengthens our position around the world. And every time the arsenal's fired up like this, they learn things, scientifically, engineering.

So the systems get better. So there is on a superpower dimension. If money's no object, right, which we know it is an object, you and I dispute at times the importance of that object, but we'd ever reject the premise that it's important. The United States of America can't go default while we do this, right? Yes, and here's why I hate to say this, but it's true. Even everything related to Iran combined is not even half of what our annual deficit normally is.

So, wow, we had a 30% extra deficit than before. It doesn't matter compared to the 40 plus trillion we're already in debt. This is still peanuts, but it's still hundreds and hundreds of billions that you can say as being some of it being invested in the R&D factor that you're talking about here. But, you know, it's still small potatoes compared to the financial aspect. That just shows how big the storm is financially is kind of how I look at it more. I think the system's improved, but then there's just the cost of deterrence, deterring anybody else. from start a war that, you know, not, you know, that's what Trump says it, you know. There would, Russia would not have invaded Ukraine.

It's because I think the threats that a Trump regime, if you go on eight straight years, you know, that, you know, the Russians wouldn't even have considered it because they, you know, they knew Trump would take it as an affront to him that they would dare do it on his watch, right? So right now, you know, you're paying for deterrence and it makes it safer and, you know, this, you know, it kind of cycles like that, you know, the economy can really boom and grow if there's enough deterrence. Taiwan, North Korea, many other places. Yeah.

I work at insurance and risk management. I've talked about that in the past. Preventing a loss or a claim is hard to prove and brag about, but it is a real thing. So if somehow, some way, I run. prevents either Russia from attacking Poland or Europe somehow or and or China from going after Taiwan. If either of those were prevented because of this, it was worth it 20x over, right?

Did it? I don't know. I guess it's the calculus you're talking about, though, right? It's interesting because you're talking about insurance terms and you're referring to it the event when, you know, deterrence of those sorts of things. It's not an instance, right? It's not all a loss. It's just a constant state of are they deterred or not.

That's why we pay for a nuclear arsenal for what now? Seven decades? So like if the, by it, I mean like attacking Taiwan or it being hitting weapons manufacturing, drone manufacturing in Poland, those would be like the it I'm referring to hypothetically. So if that went from a 10% chance to a 2% chance over the next five years because of Iran, one could argue, I suppose, that that's worth it because that could lead the thermonuclear war and or just trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, not just billions and billions. If Taiwan, I mean, if China moved on Taiwan, even if we helped Taiwan push it back,

like it would make Iran straight a whore moves look like nothing in terms of economic damage. So is that what you mean? Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, it does. But the it you're talking about, any kind of event like that or multiple others around the world, it's kind of like that it is every single second. It just streams on, on, on. It could happen.

It doesn't, you know, looking at it in a five-year projection, what difference in those five years make? We can't ever let those things happen. Five, ten, hundred, thousand years. Like, whatever. There's no end to that. Our lifetime, if you want to measure it to that degree, be perfectly selfish. I don't want to see that happening in my lifetime. perfectly selfish but somewhat reasonable way of anybody to look at it, right?

Right? And you've got to deterrents is, you know, has a cost. I think the demonstration of force that Trump is exposing to the world, although unconstitutional, still like to see a vote in Congress authorizing this. But since we don't do that anymore, at least the deterrence factor is, it's going to be pretty significant. be long-lasting. And that's assuming there's not an aggravation factor that actually makes it more likely to go into war, which I'm not saying that's the case here.

But, you know, warhawks can always say deterrence, but sometimes it actually spawns new wars. That's a potential. Well, the ones you cited, Taiwan, whether or not we fought back with nukes is it's not a certainty, but in my mind, Russia striking Poland is a nuclear war. I don't see how that stops from being true. It's World War III. You can't attack NATO without World War III. Britain and France have nukes, right?

So they might do something else, and then we're in it. So hopefully, if anything good comes out of Iran, hopefully at least less likely for that. Because I don't see much else great coming out of it, but at least the deterrence, you can kind of sell me on that. I give you that. Yeah, unless that regime collapsed and something less hard-headed emerged. you know, that would, it could be good for everybody.

That's got to prove it to me for a decade of stability before I actually give any credit for that. So we are at least 15 years away from that. Well, hey, maybe 15 years will be like, yo, they did collapse regime. It did reform. It was safer. It was better. It didn't re-collapse three years later into something worse. But yeah, that's a little far away for me to even consider at this point.

Yeah, yeah, it's possible in our lifetime. themselves. So on the whole, you know, ledger of freedom versus tyranny, that regime going down is scoring in the freedom category. Because it can't be too much worse. I mean, you could always say it could be worse. But, you know, even if it went from a nine out of ten tyranny to a six out of ten, like, hey, maybe a little better. Look at Iraq. Look at Iraq.

Right. It's not what it was under Saddam Hussein right now. It's still really bad in a lot of. of ways, right? But you don't have just a ruthlessly brutal dictator running Iraq anymore. Taliban, for that matter, is somewhat reformed. I can't say a lot great about them, but you remember the Taliban before September 11th, brutal, primitive, right? Like, you know, so I'm not going to say that we, you know, had the success we ever envisioned in either of those wars, but I think it's better.

You want to jump into the dashboard? Because we got hell of a lot of news tonight. Hell of a lot. Yeah, and we're the newest show on Patriot Power Hour. Yeah, that's an old entry in there. But the news of Patriot Power every week, we've refreshed, purged, only talking about what's happened since the last Patriot Power hour. Last week, Ben, go for it.

Let's roll. Let's start with security column. In fact, POTUS was in Europe. talking to NATO allies at the Alliance Summit. He went on to cut off all trade with Spain, repeats demand that Greenland should be controlled by the U.S. Definitely said it was a successful meeting. Talked nicely about Erdogan,

maybe not as nicely about some others. Meanwhile, tensions escalate between Russia and European NATO members, attacks on both sides deep into the country. Secret Service missed 102 warnings before Trump assassinations. assassination attempt in Butler. Go to future danger.com and click on the strange findings and go through all of them. I'll be doing that later. Kentucky governor makes unusual request as mystery deepens over senators' health.

Went to the hospital June 14th almost a month ago. Kentucky GOP rep insinuates that the state's senior senator isn't even in D.C. This is all under constitutional officer goes missing. rarely seen indicator but very important Chinese linked socialist NGO derails a 24 billion data center buildout or multiple buildouts Cuban communists subversion network members arrested US military races to harden strategic nuclear bases

with counter drone AI shield These were all under foreign black ops suspected SHTF level some of the most important articles of the night. China conducts rare submarine launched ballistic missile test. They're also building multi-missile launchers for mass salvos against Taiwan. Then we have a congressman demanding FBI release records related to a 2016 murder of DNC staffer. Seth Rich.

So security, foreign and domestic, pretty active. right now. Let's go to economics. Somewhat quiet. Middle of the summer or approaching that at least. Beef prices remain near record highs. Foreclosure hitting seven-year highs.

Trade deficits starting to widen. There's been some pretty heavy stress on the grid from the heat in particular. But, yeah, from electric cars to data centers, heat and everything in between. largest American power grid enacts emergency protocols nearly some blackouts or brownouts

but they were able to keep it together largest power grid again looking to curb data centers use them as the pressure relief valve so to speak as record demand looms electricity become more and more powerful and important

as time goes on Let's keep rolling Nature and health Scientists exploit Genetic Exceptions That may extend human Lifespans beyond natural Limits

Particular genes out there People might have If you can select for those Could be huge Earthquakes We talked big time about the Venezuelan Earthquake last week We talked about other earthquakes

In the Ring of Fire We got even more now In Japan is 6.1 6.2 in Indonesia. And the deaths from Venezuela above 3,300. Seems like it'll be a lot higher down the road, but still already quite a high amount there. Volcano in Indonesia.

Cracketow. Everyone knows that one. The alert was raised to a level three for that big volcano after some smaller eruptions and activity in Indonesia as well as that earthquake we mentioned. Volcanic tremor reaches high levels, lava flow at Etna in Italy. Extreme heat wave hit through Fourth of July.

It's mostly abated countrywide, but a full week throughout the Fourth of July. Hope everyone still agree, 4th of July. 19 suspected heat-related deaths in New Jersey. In Europe, 1,300 die in heat waves. Parasitic food poisoning infection. Sickens 170 in Michigan. Two stricken with Legionnaires disease in New York City.

The cluster is investigated. Officials tracking, you know, an even ongoing, even bigger there that Legionnaires. Fungal storms sweep America with toxic dust-carrying disease. And Ebola spread to the fourth province. Deaths at about 600. It seems like it's plateaued. It's not doubling every week that we've covered it,

but the first few weeks it was. But 600-ish deaths is what we saw last week as well. We'll keep an eye on it, though. If it re-accelerates. Finally, Liberty column, Bill of Rights column, Georgia police officers were charged over the alleged of misuse of license plate reader data. they were using flock cameras,

F-L-O-C-K. If you haven't heard of those yet, go look them up. But they had access to the flock camera network and database, et cetera, and we're using it for personal searches. Five of them. Just in this one buster, I don't know if you want to call it a buster sting,

but five of them in Georgia. Democrat running unopposed for Congress denounces the Declaration of Indeastern, Dependence. Unopposed. Someone go opposed. Geez. Federal judge rejects DOJ attempt to subpoena

Fulton County in Georgia, 2020 election workers. So, the DOJ attempting to subpoena these election workers, federal judge rejects it. And finally, let's end to the dashboard where we sort of started

today, not just Iran, but the constitutionality of it, etc. this indicator war unconstitutionally waged we got it of course in iran another round of strikes but we also have attack in somalia the u.s launches airstrike in somalia for the third day in a row future day that is the dashboard we can hit all different types of areas we got at least half an hour where you want to go yeah maybe uh top devile left to right top of the bottom left or right then well let's just put an end cap on iran and i don't know if you had anything to say about somalia but that's kind of that's the top left right there

yeah who are they shooting at in somalia can you crack that one open let's take a look see goes under the radar doesn't it yeah that's stuff going on in many countries right now but there's no news being generated about it right Third day in a row, southern Somalia, going after al-Shabaab. It's kind of, it's at the al-Qaeda of the Somali area, I guess. I'm in favor of being at war with al-Shabaab. It's Congress to vote. Right.

You think they would vote for it, approve it, or not? No, they don't vote for it anymore. to. No one holds them to account. That's the American population's fault. The Congress, you know, we talked about before, you know, Congress has that power to declare war, but no one of the founders envisioned a day when we just be at war and none of them would bother to vote because they don't have to, because if they do and the war goes bad, it hurts them, but if they don't, and the president bombs wherever he wants, no one's going to do anything about it.

What would it take? Someone bringing a new trying to impeach or like what? Someone in Congress? It can do this? They won't. They won't. Basically the people,

the constituencies who vote. You've got to vote for against the wars that are being fought by the people you vote for. Just kind of the mechanics of the constitution hasn't worked since World War II. Plus, we've talked about it previously on Patriot Power. bunch of laws out there.

Once you declare war, treason's on the table. I don't think any of them want that. Because if you're at war, you're speaking treasonously, you can get some serious punishment, right?

So you can't shoot your mouth off about how you don't like the bombing of al-Shabaab when we're at war, right? Because that's treason. So I guess, like we've said, maybe it's not a bad, thing that they're too cowardly to actually vote on it because we can talk to much trash as we want. Yeah, it'd be virtually unenforceable.

They saw that during Vietnam, right? So our laws, you know, how do you reconcile that? When you're really at war, you got major First Amendment implications. Your freedom of speech is lawfully restricted. And as well, it should be if you're really at war. It's just because of our mismatch and power against other countries. Right? Right.

Well, I guess we're going even further away with that from that with like the Thomas Massies and the Rand and Ron Pauls of the world becoming less popular, it seems. So, I guess probably not in my lifetime this will change, but I never expected it to really with the way things are. But we'll find out. Always a chance to reform. Get this a little under control, but it ain't happen any time soon, it sounds like, huh? I mean, ideally, it's going to light up the indicator. The Constitution is being broken. I firmly believe that.

But I don't think any of this changes in our lifetime. Why would it? We haven't declared war since Korea. If you discount, you know, the Bushes always went to the U.S. Security Council and got a resolution and authorization to use a force. They didn't want to be on the wrong side of this. So they always got that, you know, in place. But they never call it a declaration of war.

Well, it was actually looking at the big picture here. I'm able to scroll back in time. Of course, since June of last year, Midnight Hammer, this indicator's been activated quite a lot. And it was also a little earlier in 2025. But essentially from March 2020 through 2024, wasn't much action going. Of course, I was with Biden.

but even before then, before COVID, when Trump was in power, this lit up a couple times, especially a couple strikes in Yemen, Green Beret operations and Syria and stuff like that. But it was like once every quarter, one article. Obviously with Iran, it's happening almost daily. We're seeing this pop up or at least a few times, several times a month that is. Yeah, I mean, ultimately that article or that section of article two, the war power is making act.

comes down to the next presidential election, right? If you want to stop, you know, you're going to have to vote for someone who says they're going to stop it. Well, see if any candidates actually come out and say that unlikely, but I'll be looking for them. I'm almost certain whoever runs the president for the Democrats is going to campaign on exactly that. Oh, they're lying, though. Okay, but they're going to. people are going to vote for what they say, even if you know that.

Maybe that's the heart of the problem right there. All right. We're on the top left. Let's just finish the left column for some. A subpoena for the 2020 Fulton County election workers denied. I don't know if this could be appealed even higher or if it's stopped dead, but that's unfortunate. I want to get some, nothing like subpoenas and depositions to get the truth out of some rats that might want to squeal.

Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. If you get enough judges in the way, they get the right procedural grounds to, you know, cancel out these lawsuits. You know, truth might never come out. The subpoena is unreasonable and must be quashed. Judge William Ray wrote in his ruling, low need for the subpoenaed information. and highly burdensome nature. Low need.

Do you know that? He knows that there's a low need for it. He has the power to state as much. I don't know. I'm still not a fan of the judicial system. I'm sure it's better than most places, but some of these judges, I guess. I don't know.

I don't know. I'll challenge you to ever name some place it's better. But again, like a four out of ten, just because the rest of the world's a one out of ten does not make me like that happy. well you got the most water in anybody's glass even though it's 60% empty it's true I try to remember that I try to remember that but then when it started to go lower it makes it be even panic not panic but we get pissed and want to do something about it now because oh we lost a little liberty yeah now we're down to a three out of ten

it's not like we went from a nine to an eight which still is a problem the truth the truth wants to be free truth really always has that nature it wants to be free. So we'll know more about how we got a video with son of the bitches pulling rolling suitcases of

ballots out from underneath tables after they locked out all the observers. Like that a tape was out as it happened like the next day. I'm not going to read all the comments here but we have a couple one says the headline should have been federal judge

blocks rule of law. Yeah. That's kind of how I sold it up there. All right. Hey, like you said, forcing them to do this out in the public is its own win, or at least, at least we're forcing them to, you know, out in the open, so to speak. So hopefully people will wake up from this.

They'll appeal. They'll take more shots. They'll come up on more arguments just to do the same thing in a different way. Democrats always do that when they're in power. They don't let up when they're hunting something through the judicial system. Let's move on to China-linked socialist non-governmental organization. Biggest fraud. A little acronym I ever come up with or ever heard, I mean.

It helped derail $23.6 billion in data center buildouts. Some of these NGOs still get money, even though USAID was cut off at the knees. They still have private funders. and these foreign funders are able to squirm their way in. So this NGO linked to China. Somehow they're able to get past the law for now. They don't care, though, because they're getting what they want done

in this new type of warfare. Three huge data centers in Virginia, $3.5 billion. Abandon Prince William Digital Gateway, 2100 acre campus was expected to include as many 37 data center buildings and require city scale power supplies. So pretty much add in another city just on this acreage here because it's so much power. Future dad, why would China not want this to happen? Because we're blowing them way in the AI race right now.

It's not even close to them out. everyone talks about China, this, China, they're not even close to the amount of buildout of data centers, right? Yeah, because it got Chinese-made chips. Well, that's his own issue right there for sure. But just big picture China versus America in the AI race, how have you evaluated that and what have you been seen trended? The same intelligence agency that's trying to steal the latest models and clone them.

It's the same intelligence agency that's using the First Amendment, and the Fourth Amendment against us because there's no state of war, right? So freedom of speech, freedomless association, those intelligence agencies like that could fund anything they want in the United States. This is born black ops, but ultimately there's very little it can be done without, you know, creating tyranny here. You have to clamp down on the free speech of the people opposing the data centers. You have to clamp down on their persons, their effects, their wealth,

you know, be able to freely associate and pay for any political advertising. All that's free in the United States. Remember that. But we don't like it when a foreign intelligence agency from China or Israel or many, many other countries that are seemingly allies, brands, Germany, Britain. they have ops, they have influence ops, Japan, South Korea, right? All these countries do this. Part of it is, that's the negative you have to just suffer with for having an open society.

And I'm definitely willing and able and happy to have that as a negative in the negative mark is, okay, well, we're more susceptible to this type of stuff. Fine. At least we have an open society. But where I want to really, we're going to really. really want to focus in on is the 501c3 501c4 tax exempt all that crap it's really the tax that's being weaponized against because they try to say oh you're getting tax free well it's the people that don't qualify in the organizations and the ideas that may not be able to grease the wheels have the right lobbyists get the right accountants and the freaking lawyers and shit and trust me the republicas do this but like it's well with USAID it was like 5 to 1

Democrats or Republicans now maybe it's like 3 to 1 but it's weaponizing tax and shit that's where I get I think it's all messed up so 501 Steve what do you suggest be done to these anti-data center

Chinese intelligence controlled nonprofits well gonna go full lowest learner on them that's the big exactly so everyone has to have it restricted and taken out not selectively i want no one to be tax exempt except for churches perhaps something like that or it becomes super slippery slope first amendment organizations second amendment organizations yes but how can that be manipulated by a china somehow to do it they'll always figure out a way

to somehow squirming there and cause a little corruption but like right now it's so primed And I'm blaming a lot on the Democrats, but the Republicans have been complicit too for just building this huge freaking NGA geo bloat that's, number one, way easier to take over the ones that exist already. And number two, create new ones that kind of fly under the radar or, you know, it's just, ugh, it's gross. But why tax corporations in the first place? Then there wouldn't even be a, you know, a separate category that comes corrupt. yeah the lower the taxes it would be less of a you know absolute tax it would be less power you got to have some sort of tax how do we do the taxes well that we can talk about that for hours and days but just reducing tax overall means this type of stuff is less valuable so there's less

leverage and being able to manipulate it especially if you're another state yep my i firmly believe that complicated income tax regimes at state, local, national level, state by state, and nationally, you know, on corporate, personal, every other kind of income tax they've thought of, that regime locks in the wealthy generationally, and they know it, which is why they want it locked in, because they master it and they can exploit it. I say, you know, wipe it all out. Tax, Consumption, right? Tax consumption. If you live a, you know, live a, you know, relatively Spartan lifestyle, you can actually withhold your taxation and vote with your wallet. But it's going to take a lot more Americans and a lot more generations to hear this message to start to get the idea the income tax at its core is unjust.

It creates injustices. by the manifold. Yeah, it's the, it's the hammer and there's just a million ways that you can get hit with the hammer, all different ways. One of them is definitely the NGOs. Now, for those who might forget,

or, you know, Lois Larner prosecuting or persecuting, prosecuting, prosecuting both conservatives for their taxes, et cetera, and different organizations, as well as their personal taxes, that's a slippery slope but here you go i mean literally this NGO their focus here on this article has been leaked by the new york times of all publications to chinese communist party aligned propaganda networks leveraging uh different total war with respect to covid 19

TikTok and the brain rot just generally. But just sum it up with the party for socialism and liberation. Does that sound like, you know, very what we're looking for here? So, yeah, we don't want them scorched earth just censoring everybody because we don't do that. And as Americans, as Patriots, we definitely don't want that.

But on the other hand, essentially outwardly being sponsored by, Chinese communist and socialist and being able to skirt the freaking not only do you get tax exempt or all these different benefits it waterfalls into different other programs and grants and stuff like once you hit that hit that bar you know clear the bar and you're officially designated as one of those tax exempt you get all types of insulary benefits etc it's like it's a big scam and uh Yeah, China's definitely loving it, and so are a lot of others. Yeah, but the best antidote is speaking out against it. Take a little time on picture of power to talk about this happening so that people that, for reasons they haven't even stopped to think about, are choosing to be anti-Data Center.

I want to rethink it if our number one superpower adversary on the planet's funding that sentiment in our country. That should at least be a major data point in your analysis. If you live 500 feet from a new data center site, it's going to be very loud. I can understand you hate it, but otherwise, I feel a lot of people are manipulated by a small amount of mainstream news and stuff on TikTok. You know, they absolutely on the social media will favor certain types of narratives. So, oh, the data centers are going to make your electric. triple and polluting all the water and kill all the people and all the fish and all the turtles. So don't have them.

That's pretty much their story. And you know who's on the sideline, Ray is swooping and totally gain an angle on this to his massive benefits, Elon Musk and SpaceX, putting data centers in space. We need them. We're going to have them. but also putting them off planet, it's a great way to go. And there's nothing the Chinese can do to fund sentiment against that.

I will say, I can see why people could fall into the trap of the socialist and say, well, I being hurt by this, I should share in the profit. They should give me some of the profit. But I will, you know, again, tax manipulation, but in many of these counties, where there's a lot of these data centers, it,

you know, people that live there have very low property tax and very high services. So, but, but again, that kind of falls into the socialist mindset of like, well, if they get rich,

we deserve some of the profits of the big tech, big agra, or not, you know, I guess you can talk about agra in a whole different sense, but, eh,

I don't like taking things for other people, but I also don't like free loading, corporatists, and Blackstone's the devil. So, you know, I don't, I don't really like Blackstone either.

So it is a little complicated. What's next on our itinerary tonight? Patriot Power Hour. July 19th, 2016. Perfect example why big data can be dangerous because it can be misused by people. Yeah, AI is bad enough, but people are still the number one threat. Five former Georgia police officers charged over misuse, alleged misuse of license plate reader. data using the flock system to spy on x's to pretty much stock people to just look up people

that they should not be doing and that they're not doing for work and this is just those who were caught I mean can you imagine what's actually occurred but I'm glad they did get caught Davis is 27 year old they're all quite young and at least a few of them are females it looks like I don't know if they're just working at the HQ or what's happening here. They seem like the type of people that would just get in there and I don't know. Five counts of misusing license plate data. Someone's got 11 counts. And there you go.

What do you say that for you, Dan? I would be a glass apple and hoping that some chief caught some people violating a procedure and they were just doing whatever, nothing, nothing. severe and making examples to the rest of the force because this surveillance capability is just technologically

leaps and bounds. Can you maybe break down for our listeners, a flock camera? Like, what's meant by that? Is that a brand? Is that a technology? It's a network of license plate reader cameras nationwide. They're actually

through a Freedom Information Act and some other sort of actions, you can put your license plate into, and I swear it's not like a, you're not getting fished or like giving your license. It is a legit website. See if you are in their database. When you were tracked,

I've never been caught on one of these cameras. It's kind of certain regions and areas have it more than others. Essentially, they're building the nationwide license plate scanning and retrieval system. They already have something similar to this, but this is more real time, many more instances, and it's not just,

hey, you got a ticket or you have a warrant, so maybe you're in the system, and another state nearby can search that because they have an agreement, right? That end of itself could be bad enough, but we can talk about that. But now it's just going to be nationwide. You didn't even get pulled over.

You didn't even get, your day in court or whatever, you were just, they know exactly where you were, what you were doing. And of course, if you actually get pulled over or in an accident. And I haven't actually looked at the photos. I don't know if they could tell, like, who's in the vehicle. I don't know if it's a photo just of the license plate or of your entire vehicle, like some tolls. I mean, they can see the faces of the people in there. So if you're being unfaithful to your spouse, you better be careful not bring your mistress in there.

they might have some photo evidence just as one small example maybe on the bad side of personal security, whatever. But yeah, there you go. Future Dan, it's well, I will say a lot of people are destroying these cameras.

I'm not saying people should do that, but people are pissed about the flock cameras, for sure. Yeah, I think it's a technology that integrates just all kinds of different cameras. Right. The banks are in on it. You know, just all the other places. is to have any kind of camera.

It's this nationwide minority report, facial, surveillance. And I'm thinking, I'm wondering how it's going to square up with the geo-fencing ruling we got out of the Supreme Court last month that said, you know, you got to have a warrant, right? So doing it and surveilling you, but then being able to use it in court against you later, two different things, right? So I think that, I think that first thing is pretty much here to stay. but as long as there's a strong firewall between the second part that's good like you said it's going to happen to matter what the surveillance and cameras and machine learning and all that is not going back in the toothpaste tube but if that stuff is inadmissible in court unless it follows the proper process that's a bottleneck or uh not a bottleneck but firewall you know appropriate firewall need that uh yeah go ahead and then there's criminals that would become part of the machinery that operates those cameras that could potentially frame anybody.

They're 110% at this point. I don't know if I could. I believe any image that I see right now could absolutely be manipulated and I would not be able to tell. And almost at that point where video is pretty freaking hard to tell sometimes if it's AI or not. It's going to be, actually James has talked about this a couple times and others, kind of AI versus AI, right? We won't know what the hell is AI. We're going to need our own AI to analyze other people's AI to see if it's AI or humans, like in a video, for example. Like, imagine January 6th happen now.

Or imagine 10 years from now a January 6th type of event happens. It'll be so easy to create fake videos, put me at the front with the guy, you know, the Viking guy, right? There's Ben the Breaker Banksters. Send that to my boss, right? My boss fires me. And it's fake. I've been, I've been. Okay.

doxed or swatted, but like with AI, that is like there already with still images, in my opinion. And video is not that far. So all this is going to come to my head. So you'll be able to defend yourself for these arguments, right? Right? Hopefully. It might cost a lot of money, but there will be some sort of defense, hopefully. Yeah.

So what were you doing when Napster was riding high? I still own at least 2,000 songs from Napster. And by own, I guess I stole them all. So yes, I was. big on Napster and all the stuff after I was like 14 so just getting everything. Yeah so it's kind of like that

right now with imagery but I think we're going to get to the point where the you know the Hollywood and the record studios quickly found out how to encrypt the files so you can't grab them and share them. You can still do it

you can record it but you don't have the exact fidelity of the original Right. And you certainly can't trade it freely around the internet. I think there's going to have to be technology. Maybe it's a, you know, blockchain-based technology that, you know, if you want to believe anybody's posted videos or pictures in the future, it's got to be some kind of authentication method like that. That's literally a great use of blockchain and all types of coins and blockchains are trying to do that, whether it's with, documents, photos, events, obviously with like collectibles, even some blockchain's trying to, you know, represent your gold that's in a vault. And I'm not too trustworthy of a lot of these, but something like that will exist and be

a trillion dollar industry in the next decade, right? But there's going to be so many kind of scams and stuff in the meanwhile. It's tough to invest in one, I guess is my point. But you're totally right. That sort of enforcement. uh, cryptography and watermark, I guess somehow watermarking it and just either to prove it's not AI,

that might be one way or to prove it's yours and no one stole it. It's certainly interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you ever catch a show. Uh, the proof is out there. A little half hour show of just videos that people send in.

UFOs, cryptids, all that stuff, right? Um, and, and ghosts, all that stuff.

They're normal. and they send videos to like an expert that, you know, comes back and says, this is what we saw in the file properties that make it, make it so we, we, there's no reason to think it's not authentic or it's definitely been manipulated or it's definitely a hoax, like that kind of analysis, right? So that art right there of encoding that, getting it locked in so that it's next to impossible to have a video or a picture that, you know, we won't know those things about it. That's the thing.

I don't know, but we're going to need it. There'll be a lot of incentive to sell a service to people that produces that result. Because you're right, and James is right. We're pretty much at the point where anything can be made and throw it online, and you just have to wonder, was that legit or not? I guess the way to do it now is, you know, like we'll take, for example, the raid in Caracas in January to get Maduro. It's going to have to be a whole bunch of different cameras posted from a whole bunch of different accounts. Right. At the same time, doing all kinds of time in the timeline.

It's like hard to believe that those are not American helicopters right now, right? But every intelligence service now has a target, right? Like, how can we prevent, you know, how can we do a wag the dog? great an event that didn't happen and put it, feed it out there in social media so people believe it did. A lot of people are getting paid big bucks to war game

that developed that, both the technology part and the strategies. So, you know, not in my industry or occupation. I kind of wish, though, it'd be pretty fun to do that for a job. Our military and intelligence community has been at this for as long as there's been

social media. Oh, yeah. Many others haven't. some might say social media is partially spawned out of that sort of stuff. I mean, I don't know. I think Zuckerberg came out with this by himself. I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe, maybe not. An app to swap Facebook, just pictures of the yearbook and have people do a poll. I kind of believe that was organic. Once they understood his talent, they probably went to him for, you know, many other concessions as he built that platform. but I'm pretty sure he just made that up. Well, I would expect there was probably five equivalents out there, but within the same month or two, a lot of inventions they get invented at the same time.

Worldwide independently, it's just which one got backed, or maybe it was the first one there, and whatever, however it started, it definitely was CIA operation for now. I don't even know if they use it anymore. That's silly questions. How long was Zuckerberg doing that before? He had a conversation with anybody for an intelligence agency, foreign or domestic. Probably not long.

Probably not too long. I don't think somebody in the CIA sat around since the 80s wanting to do this and then found him because he stitched together some code that put pictures of girls next to each other and let you vote which one was hotter. No, but maybe they're like, hey, within the next decade, this is going to come up. So be on the lookout as soon as we find one, we swoop in. That might be more likely. I will say, in high school, all right, not to go down on the huge thing.

We got a lot of news and we're running out of time. Facebook came out when I was a sophomore in college, and I swear I had the idea for it when I was a senior in high school because we were all sending little instant messages to each other. but I was like, man, there needs to be like a combination of instant messages and like websites where everyone can have their own website, but kind of share and we're all on the same site. And we can all be friends. That's about as far as I got.

And I sure as hell could it program anything. So what could have been? Well, I, not me, apparently. But anyway, I just do. Maybe they, maybe he did have that spark of imagination. I'm not sure. But it definitely, I think they swooped in quickly, just seeing the power of it. Just how, I mean, look what happened with cell phones and social media.

Those two things totally changed the whole civilization of 20 years. Yeah, because if you leave those just out there, the state is vulnerable. Like the state, whatever state, every state, every national government in the world, you know, immediately senses the danger of letting telecommunications and, social media platforms run free. It took them a little while to shut it down, but for a while it was

pretty free. That's where I learned a lot of stuff myself in like the 2012 to 2014 range. You could post almost anything you wanted back then that was legal, right? And so that's not the case anymore, though. What you got to work at? We got to be underground like Patriot Power Art. What else we're talking about? There you go.

There you go. Well, we still got three full columns to get to however we've talked about most of the articles within it NATO summit anything you wanted to hit on NATO Russia you know we talked to Iran we talked to some Taiwan NATO and Russia Ukraine that whole swath

anything else you want to hit on or we can move on yeah I think that that threat of shutting off trade with Spain is an empty threat somebody needs to tell the president that empty threats don't help right You got to make threats that you can take action on.

Someone's going to have to figure out, you know, what other means to levy tariffs out, you know, through the roof on Spain to make that threat come true. And, of course, he's talking about Greenland again, making good points, right? You know, Denmark could not defend it. Nazis took the country, and we immediately made it our protectorate,

and Trump's just making the historical argument that maybe giving it back, was not in our interest, but it's just side show, really. Waiting for other things to develop. Spain is not allowing them

U.S. or NATO to use their airspace, even though there are some for the Iran War. There are a couple military bases in Spain, Naval Station Rota ROTA, and Moron, M-O-R-O-N. I figure it's not Moron

Air Base. Maron, my guess. So that's that. Talked China. How about the Seth Rich 2016 murder 10 years ago? Time flying, but a rep is issuing an official letter

to the FBI requesting the release of all records related to the death of Seth, which you think this will go anywhere? You think the truth wants to be free even 10 years later? Or is this not even, you know, just barely rates on the dashboard. Where do you think it's at? I always suspected that Russians killed him just to make Democrats. His murder was bad for Democrats in many ways because he was whistleblowing on Hillary, right?

So this stretches back to, you know, Hillary's run for president and see where it goes. You know, the Butler files are coming out. They always seem to hint at wrongdoing that never is clearly there, but still like to know what's behind the scenes, what was really behind that. So this is the actual letter dated July 7th to Director Patel. It says, recent reports suggest the FBI may have found previously undisclosed files related to Seth Rich in, quote, burn bags, possibly located in a skiff or sensitive compartmentalized or compartmented information facility

at the J. Edgar Hoover Building, which is FBI headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue, so it's not just a random field office. It's a good story, though. Keeps it alive, even if it's not true. That's true. How about, I don't even want to get too much into this. I probably shouldn't even look at this guy. Democratic politician denounces the Declaration of Independence.

Future Dan, he got any story? from Independence Day and anything you want to say to this guy here? No. Just, this is a danger indicator. When people talk about our Constitution and the Declaration Independence is part of our founding documents, right? If that sentiment grew by every additional person believing it, it's so much more dangerous, so much more dangerous, but it ultimately would lead to Civil War. So this is just one pool right now.

So we want to see it on the heat map dashboard. We want to talk about when we see it. But this guy's going to be a congressman. He's saying things like this. Probably will go out of his way to say things that no member of Congress has ever said and probably stupid enough to go far enough where he gets censored. Yeah. Yeah.

talking a lot of it's trying to stir up the race war talk about slavery of course you got to name the beast and kill the beast meaning all the sins of the founding fathers but how are you going to what does it redress your grievances sir if you don't have declaration independence sounds like you're redressing your grievances here mr representative and you might not have that ability to say any of this stuff without the Declaration Independence. Like, I don't know. Yeah. Sad but true.

There's no legitimate rationale for rejecting our founding documents. None. Especially on the Declaration Independence. I can see where maybe you don't agree with some parts of the Constitution or little parts of this or that. But like

Declaration of Independence is like the best one of them all. No, you can advocate for changing it. But I'm arguing that. they are fundamentally, you know, wrong, that they're unjust in their origin. Those are fighting

words. Yes. There you go. It's a whole cloth unjust. I'm fighting words to Patriots. Whatever you believe, if you believe that, advocate for the change. argue why we should amend the Constitution to the way that you want. But there's no amending the Declaration of Independence. That's over with.

This guy's just undermining it's legitimately from the beginning. And that's, you know, we, it's not how this works. I find his idiocy self-evident. So. There you go. Economically, foreclosures hitting seven years highs, inflation prices, I was wondering how that would measure. Yeah, I was going to look at it then.

All right. We've got the article here. Obviously, since COVID, since COVID. Not as bad of foreclosures as since 2008. But these are still quite low foreclosure rates. One in 400, which is a 0.24% thereabouts. So a quarter of 1% of foreclosure. your start rate now it's a process and that's not the only number you can look at but let's

just say that that's actually high this is more of the haves and have knots though because certain areas are just getting crushed where they have multiple percentage points not 0.25 but 2.35 or more under foreclosure and then also the what's for sale on relator.com that's all also what we're looking here. For example, in Dayton, Ohio, 6% of everything for sale is a foreclosed property. Not 6% of all properties are under foreclosure, but it is way higher than the 0.25. And finally, to answer your question, or the 0.24, it was a fair amount lower than that, the 1 in 400, so it's actually getting worse and worse. I could imagine. I mean, the interest rates are are quite high. Prices have not gone down. And at best, the economy's plateaued or slightly

increase in certain sectors, but it's certainly not growing 6% a year over year all across the economy. So probably either rates got to go down, prices got to go down, or income's got to go up. If none of that happens, foreclosures are going to just continue to pile up and bankruptcies too. Yep. What else we got? Oil, gold, silver, Bitcoin, all. you know have not changed too much. Bitcoin's right around above 60K. Gold's still holding above 4K. Silver 60 to 70 bucks.

Oil kind of in that same range for a barrel. Wex of WTI. So, you know, not much going on in the summertime from the price action, at least right now. Our last column here, future Dan, knock it out, is the health. natural news. Let's start with it.

Natural news if you want to. Another week of a lot of earthquakes following what happened in Venezuela. And now we've got a little volcano action. What are you seeing in the ring of fire? And how do you put this into perspective when you put together future danger and you've tracked these earthquakes of volcanoes? Any, you know, look into your mind of how you evaluate these and track them? Yeah, I don't know how I'm trying to answer that. thinking i don't know it's just whatever's out there that rates gets on the board and it's more

active than usual but it's not it's not you know with the exception of venez well huh these events aren't killing large amounts of people so it's just you know being aware right but if we've said before in the past if you know some some major natural calamity happened so many other indicators to the left of that column are gonna start to break Sure. And I would say, except for Venezuela, I think, I mean, there's been a couple other large earthquakes in the near decade we've done in this show and that you've done in future danger more than a decade. But there haven't been that many huge earthquakes. We started after Fukushima and the earthquake of tsunami there.

Let's go back in time, actually. Take a real fast look at enormous earthquake smites. And similarly for Volcano. has not been some major eruption that killed thousands or millions that I recall since we've been on air. But going back in time, we have a lot of frequency of earthquakes, but the severity, not as much. But I guess what I'm trying to say here, Future Dane, this is a very unique indicator because I see it almost every episode, but usually it's low, it's topical, but it has that ability to really spike out of nowhere literally.

I mean, no one can predict earthquakes, so to speak, and it's regional. If it happens in your area or you got loved ones in Venezuela or we're there for whatever reason, it's S-H-T-F to you, to say the least. Yeah, you know, if we had eight or nine magnitude on the West Coast, we'd have black-on-red disaster for weeks and months. because the after-fix is something like that.

Just like Veselo will or, you know, years after the losses, right? So, yeah, it's part of the context, part of the full dashboard. We look at everything in isolation, tracking it, accounting for it, and then every Thursday night, sometimes Wednesdays, come on Patriot Power Hour, look at that snapshot in time, which is the heat map dashboard, see where we're at. Yeah, a lot of, you know, we just, have an uptick and volcanic and, you know, tectonic activity, but that's always happened on this heat map dashboard. I think the worst we've seen while we've been on air, at least, is at 2023, February 23.

Turkey and Syria experienced really nasty earthquake, 46,000 dead there. And we've had some other earthquakes with 1,000 dies. certain spots and uh but Venezuela probably the worst earthquake we've seen since we've been on air I think it's a bad one there's a lot of cheap buildings built by socialist regime that collapsed on a lot of people extreme heat waves hit I think we've kind of surpassed or you know gotten past this but it's still only early July so I mean it is summer things get hot but man it was pretty steamy where I was at for 4,000

of July. And the U.S. Capitol was hotter than 99% of the world. But again, hey, it's the swamp. Literally and figuratively, it gets pretty hot and muggy down there. I've been down there a few times. Europe. What's going on in Europe? Why are so many

people dying there? Did a lot of people die in America? We're not seeing it? I figured that'd be big news. I'm not seeing that many numbers, though, from America, but 1,300 in Europe. I think there's going to be headlines, maybe next week, that kind of look at it statistically.

And they call it excess get deaths, right? So we probably see headlines in August that say, all right, this is what the excess deaths were, you know, in the U.S. east this past weekend. We'll see that. But it, you know, it's still going to be, you know, not a calamity. If it was a calamity, glimity,

grids have gone down and you know tens of thousands that died just from heat you know you know that we would already have only talked about the results of that this tonight so i think i saw one article like new jersey 21 excess deaths you know new jersey seems to be the leader and trying to you know make that claim i because right heat deaths so hard to pinpoint you know you know maybe an elderly person who's house lost or didn't have air conditioning and you just say, you know, that's a death because of that. But remember how

deaths were attributed to COVID? It's that kind of counting problem, right? Yeah, that's almost exactly what I was going to say is there are going to be some excess deaths, but can you trust the officially reported

number when often it's prefaced with or, you know, both on the front end and the back end, they're trying to relate it to climate change and the need for carbon taxes and how data centers are bad, you know, coming full circle to that. They almost always are trying to relate the heat waves and deaths to economic activity, essentially, future Dan. Yeah, it's interesting that they aren't trying harder to make that claim ahead of time. I think a massive skepticism in the country. That doesn't seem to be a technique. Not that a headline

from the New York Times, you know, claiming this as a result of global warming would ever make the heat map dashboard. It's not credible, right, from our perspective. But, yeah, hot weather. What are you going to do? Be a prepper. Prep for hot weather. Prep for cold weather. Prep for electricity being gone.

Prep for drought. Prep for flood. It's hard to prep for everything, but you can at least get started and one day at a time. Future Dan. what else do we have in column four ben strikes your interest we're pretty much finished except for how about this scientist exploit genetic exceptions may extend lifespans we've talked about this topic for many years now this is a different angle to it though yes yes let me explain because a lot of the headlines if you look at the archive for this indicator are going to be pointed to how one individual life may be extended by decades, possibly centuries, right, where, you know, dying becomes optional and the last people

ever born are, you know, on the planet, right? And then this one's more about the fact that, you know, genetic predispositions sort of always killed people in their younger years because it was their genetic fate in overcoming that. Well, if we do that, then the amount of people living, you know, late into life is going to totally destroy, you know, social welfare like we know it, right? Social Security would, you know, obviously go bankrupt even faster. It wouldn't be conceivable because Roosevelt's plan always was a Ponzi scheme, right? one that was always just printed away by the Fed eventually because, you know, you can kind of just monetize it slowly.

But it compounds over time, especially if the average age becomes 90 or 95 or 100, and people are still retiring at 65. Something ain't going to square there. Yeah. I mean, the result is, you know, be prepared to work a few more decades if you're able to live a few more. Well, I'll also say 99.8. 8% of people won't have access to this, the good stuff at least. And I don't even want it.

I'll be straight up on that. Any of this genetic modification is going to be a Trojan horse like COVID vaccine, if not worse. But even if it worked, even if it worked, you know, they're not going to let you get it for a cheap price. And even then, it might be gated behind more than just money, too. I know I'm a conspiracy theorist here, but just got a feeling. They're not going to let the average citizen get this stuff for a reasonable price. And, hey, I understand. It's not going to be cheap.

It's scarcity. You can't just let everybody have stuff. That's communism. And guess what? Everyone just starves a death when that happens. They're calling it. They're calling it democratic socialism now, and they're actually winning in the Democrat Party,

the left-wing insurgency, and they're winning offices. and the fool who argues that the Declaration of Independence is unjust is an example of that and I think their plan is to tax you

into obliteration to make this technology free to everybody. Interesting. I guess you put pit that against Elon Musk who thinks AI is going to

make everyone so wealthy that the equivalent universal basic income would be like $250,000 per year per person. And you could work still and try to make a million dollars a year and have even better life. But he says there's going to be so much wealth that your purchasing power will be $250K. Don't worry about inflation and everyone getting inflated out. He thinks that's what he says. I don't know if I believe him. The other end of it is the socialist pit.

I don't know if either of those is true. I do believe they will try to tax the crap out of freedom-loving people, so that's pretty fair to say. I think this is a pretty typical culmination point. We don't always talk about such issues, but we do regularly on the Patriot Power Hour. So July 9th, 2006, episode, what number are we on, Ben? Oh, 353. 353. That's a big number, but we keep grinding.

we'll be back next week aiming for 6 p.m. Thursdays but if this situation in the Middle East changes to something we haven't seen yet and gets even more dangerous will you act before then you know it. Good show Ben.

Another good one in the bag. Catch you next week.
