TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Arrest Putin? Medvedev threatens ICC with hypersonic missile strike

Episode Date: March 20, 2023

Rick Wiles was faced with a dilemma trying to decide which headline was the most important to open today’s TruNews. Should he start with the impending arrest of President Donald Trump, or should he talk about the ongoing implosion of Western banks? Maybe he should begin with Dmitry Medvedev’s threat to nuke the International Criminal Court headquarters in the Netherlands. Or start today’s TruNews talking about North Korea’s war drills over the weekend to carry out a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the USA. Rick decided to go with Mr. Medvedev’s warning to the ICC.

Well, I faced a dilemma trying to decide which headline was the most important to open today's true news. Should I start with the impending arrest of President Donald Trump, or should I talk about the ongoing implosion of Western banks? Maybe I should begin

with Dmitry Medvedev's threat to nuke the International Criminal Court headquarters in the Netherlands. Or I could launch today's True News talking about North Korea's war drills over the weekend to carry out a preemptive nuclear strike on the USA. I decided to go with Mr. Medvedev's warning to the ICC. Let's look at this France 24 article. The headline says, ICC Prosecutor Vows War Crimes Accountability Ahead of London Meeting. According to France 24, the news source reports that the International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan urged Countries Monday to find the stamina to deliver on justice, as justice ministers from dozens of countries met to discuss boosting support for ICC probes into the war in Ukraine. The gathering of more than 40 ministers in London follows the issue on Friday of an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and a warrant for his Commissioner for Children's

Rights, Maria Vova-Bolova. They are accused of the war crime of illegal deportation of Ukrainian children following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Now, Moscow responded Monday by announcing it had opened its own criminal inquiry into Khan and several ICC judges branding the warrants unlawful. Doc Burkhardt is here to join me in this discussion of totally insane news headlines, Doc. Yes, it is. What a Monday.

Yes. What a Monday. Early this morning, you were up early working. I don't know. I probably started working on this around 4.30. And around 6 a.m., a friend of mine, Dennis, in Michigan, we were texting, and I told him, I said, my advice is go back to bed and pull the covers over your head. You don't want to know what's going on. It's really bizarre. And so we're going to start with this ICC arrest warrant.

But the main thing is Mr. Medvedev's threat over the weekend. So this is Cambodia's newspaper. ICC warrant on Putin risk nuclear war. Right. This is from the Phnom Penh Post. The ICC was meant to prosecute genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, analogous with the Jewish Holocaust, the Cambodian killing fields, Rwandan genocide, the Bosnian genocide, genocide against American Indians, genocide against Australian aborigines, and other mass atrocities.

But apparently what's happening in Ukraine, although disturbing, is not yet comparable to any of these past crimes. And lowering the ICC to prosecute lighter crimes distracts its role to deter and prosecute genocide, inhibit negotiation during wars, and restrict dialogues, which is a cornerstone of diplomacy. Now, the ICC's recent arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine conflict also risks the exodus by member states from its 123 membership when they consider that their sovereignty is being overruled by the body, the ICC itself, increasingly controlled by politically motivated prosecutors. 31 states have yet to

ratify the Rome Statute, and now they never would. The likelihood of global war increases when the head of a nuclear superpower is threatened with arrest. A world war in the nuclear age will lead to nuclear apocalypse. Mr. Putin has never been deterred by the West, either by sanctions or the threat of arrest. He threatened a nuclear attack before, and the ICC warrant will likely raise that prospect. All right, so, Doc, in Cambodia, the newspaper is suggesting that if the ICC attempts to arrest Vladimir Putin, the Russians will use nuclear weapons. It seems far-fetched on the surface until you read Dmitry Medvedev's telegram post this morning, which said that's exactly what we're thinking about doing.

Right, so this is from Newsweek here. This article, Russia threatens to blow up the ICC with hypersonic missile. Mr. Mervet, very early today, Rick and I were getting up this morning. He had already posted his message, and this was what he said on Telegram. Now, it does have some language in it that we bleeped out. So there has been a final collapse of the system of international law. Let's face it, it was not particularly effective before, especially its international institutions. The League of Nations collapsed.

The USSR was thinking about withdrawing from the UN. Conventions and other international acts are adopted today with difficulty. And there is a complete engagement and dictate of a group of Anglo-Saxon countries. But the main flaw of the system of public international law is its inefficiency. Countries do not want to implement biased acts of the UN General Assembly, veto decisions of the UN Security Council, or leave various UN institutions. The reason is their injustice, which is based on the inadmissibility of coercion by a group of sovereign countries of the same sovereign states. As he says in Latin,

What that means, an equal has no power over an equal. Well, let's take this useless ICC created on the basis of the Roman statute, which the largest states did not join. Whom did it hold accountable? Three dozen unknown persons. The president of Sudan spat on these accusations, and despite the military coup in his country, he's not available for justice. The rest are not worthy of mentioning at all. In other words, their efficiency is zero. These are not the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals created ad hoc or even the dubious tribunal for Yugoslavia. It is understandable. After all, it is impossible to judge a country and its leaders in two cases. Number one, when the country itself has wildly weakened, almost lost its sovereignty

and decided to recognize the court over itself. Or two, when the country lost the war and capitulated. Otherwise, it's impossible and everyone understands this. He goes on to say, by the way, the most discrediting episode, which killed the already almost zero authority of the court, is connected with the U.S. crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. The court was completely overwhelmed and could not do anything. It is obvious that the powerful shout from the USA that we did not ratify the Rome Statute at all, he says, go off pygmies, caused an animal urge in the judges to perform natural needs not related to justice. Another play on words there. Then they decided to try the president of another nuclear power that does not participate in the ICC on the same grounds as the United States and other countries. It's obvious that the most rigid input from the same Pindostan,

he's calling America transvestite land, was received. It is clear that there is no practical value, but thanks for remembering anyway. The consequences for international law would be monstrous. After all, this is the collapse of the foundations, the very principles of law, including the postulates of the inevitability of responsibility. Now no one will go to any international bodies. Everyone will negotiate among themselves.

All stupid decisions of the UN and other structures will burst at the seams. The gloomy decline of the entire system of international relations is coming, and trust is now gone. And further, ICC judges got excited in vain. Look, they say, we're brave. We did not crap ourselves to raise a hand against the largest nuclear power. Alas, gentlemen, everyone walks under God and rockets. Now, it is quite possible to imagine the targeted use of a hypersonic carrier from the North Sea from a Russian ship at the Hague courthouse. You can't beat him, alas. And the

court is just a miserable international organization, not the population of a NATO country. Therefore, the war will not start. They will be afraid, and no one will regret. So, citizens of the judge or citizens of the Hague, look carefully into the sky. So, that's probably the most overt threat I've heard Dmitry Medvedev state to this date. And he's had some pretty strong statements before.

But you get a different sense of tone on this one, don't you, Rick? I do. And, you know, we've been following this war since it officially started in February of 2022. It really started back in 2014. And we've watched the change in the tone of the Russians and where they went from late last year they continued to try to negotiate let's reason let's sit down here's our proposal and then in January early February of 2022, there was an air of resignation. Like, what's the point? The West wants to fight.

And you could tell they didn't want the fight, but they knew the West wanted the war. Right. And they reluctantly invaded Ukraine. And where we're at now, we started to see at the end of 2022, an attitude among the Russian leaders of, we're getting fed up with you people. Anger. There was anger in the Russian leaders and how they were speaking about us. They started to call us names that I can't say on TV. And now, here we are in March, and they're now openly talking about nuking buildings, nuking cities, and they're not hiding it anymore.

They're openly telling you. I mean, they just told the people at The Hague, look up. You want to arrest Vladimir Putin, you better look up at this guy because a hypersonic missile is going to come in at you. And what he says, Doc, is he said, the war will not start, meaning a nuclear war.

Right. He's saying the West will not respond. We're going to take out the Hague in the Netherlands. We're going to blow up the International Criminal Court. And the West isn't going to do anything about it. And you're not going to do anything. They will be afraid because

they will know that if they take one more step, Russia will obliterate Europe and the United States. Russia will probably be obliterated too, but they know that. The Russians know that. They're willing to do it.

They're willing to be wiped out in order to stop the United states and europe talk the globalists the the bilderberg boys which they think that they're mad that they're insane and they're willing to the russians are willing to die to stop this madness on the earth what's a world without russia in it is the attitude so we've reached this place now where the Russians have gone beyond resignation, beyond despair, beyond anger to now it's, we're really going to clobber your people. We're going to clobber you. And we're not, and after we do it, we're going to eat a turkey sandwich. We don't even care. You know, we're not going to have any regret.

He said, there'll be no regret. There'll be no regret that we wiped you out. Because they've just reached a point where they're fed up with the madness of the Western countries. The hypocrisy and the rules-based order, they're fed up with that. They're fed up with the increased, you know, LGBT values in transvestite land. He calls it pindo stand. They're tired of it.

They're tired of dealing with it. They're tired of the threats, tired of, you know, rules-based order as long as we get to make the rules. Yeah, as long as the U.S. makes the rules. And as long as the U.S. can makes the rules and as long as the u.s can change the rules any day that they want to and they have and so uh they're not going to tolerate it anymore the world is changing it's literally the change is in motion right now

and it's everywhere it's in the middle east it's it's not coming back there is no return to normal. The new world order of the post-World War II age, 1945, and we'll just say 2022, that was the new world order. The new world order is dead. It is absolutely dead. And Klaus Schwab is not going to get what he wants unless he can convince the Chinese and the Russians that his scheme is good. George Soros is not going to get what he wants. The Clintons, the Bidens, Obama, all of them, the international banksters in this country and in London, the city, they're not going to get what they want. It's over. The Western New World Order is over.

A new New World Order has started this year. It has started this year. It has started this year and we aren't in it. We're not in it. We're not in it. And when I say we, I'm talking about the United States and Europe. We're not in the new world order. The rest of the world has finally woken up to who we really are. So how do I, if you have a set of scales, okay, and the scales are tipped in favor of one weight. So since World War II, the scales of the world have been tipped in favor of the United States and the West. Mainly through the U.S. dollar and through our military power. Yes. All right, so if you were on the other side, you're out.

I mean, life goes on. You have daily life, but you're not living in a country that's dominating the world. Your standard of living is different. Your just life is different. Now the scales are going to change. And it's the United States and Europe that's going to be in the secondary position for the at least next hundred years. I think it's a 500-year cycle where the East will rule the West for 500 years. So if you think long range, really long range, there will be a few people who will say,

okay, the handwriting's on the wall. I need to move my family to an Eastern nation. I know that's radical to a lot of people, but most people aren't going to do that. Or don't have the means. They don't have the means to do it. If they had the means, they're not going to do it. But life in the United States is going to change, and it's going to remain changed for hundreds of years if Christ does not come back.

We have forfeited our right to lead the world because we're no longer the leader of the world. We're the bully of the world. We were a leader one time. There was a time that nations looked up to the United States. They don't anymore. The ruling class of America, the Princeton, Yale, Harvard boys who run everything, they have made a mess of the world.

They're arrogant, they're cocky, they're full of pride, and everything they touch turns into a mess. I read a CFR magazine story today written by a couple American globalists. We have a solution for Ukraine. We'll create a shadow NATO. A shadow NATO? Yes. So they didn't call it shadow. They had another term for it, but it was a shadow NATO.

Okay, so Ukraine's not in NATO. So we'll create a secondary organization, kind of like a NATO junior. And we'll let Ukraine join it. And we'll put NATO junior military bases in Ukraine. The two authors actually talked about when the Putin regime collapses. And we establish a new government in Russia. It said that in the article.

They're open about it. And the Russians know what they're up to. They can read. They can read. They know what these guys are up to. It's to overthrow the Russian government and impose the Bilderberg boys, the New York Federal Reserve boys,

the same creeps that have destroyed this country. And installed their transvestite values in Moscow. Yes, that's exact. And rob, rob their natural resources. I read another article, Doc. This is about I just saw it last week, but the article is about a month old. It was written it was published in a European website called euroactive.com I've seen that.

The author was the former foreign minister of Poland, Anna Fatiga. Foreign minister, former foreign minister. She's a member of the European Parliament. I mean, she's got clout in Poland. She wrote an article that said Russia's, or, you know, the gas, oil, gold, wheat, platinum. She went down the list. Coal, all the minerals,

the wealth of Russia. She goes, it doesn't belong to Russia. Who does it belong to? She gave a list of indigenous people. Oh. It would be like Russia saying, you know, the Texas oil and gas belongs to the Comanches.

Right. We're going to go in and overthrow the gas fields. Yes, and give the gas fields. Of course, we will manage it for the Apaches. All right. But we'll tell them that they own it. This is the way they think.

These globalists really think that they're going to overthrow the russian government and take control of the russian federation and install their cronies in moscow and rape the country suck out all the wealth they really believe it it. They want the gold. Oh, the gold that's in the Russian central bank. They want, oh, they're just drooling over that. They got drool running down their chin. They want it so bad. They're thieves. They're thieves. There's no nice word for these people that run America and the West. They're thieves. They're the same people who've destroyed this country. They're the same people who have oppressed the American people,

who steal our elections, who rig the elections, who censor people from saying their views on social media. It's the same people. It's the same people who gave us the COVID plague. The same people who gave us the mandates, the mask mandates and the vaccine mandates and the social distancing mandates and gave us the fake vaccines, which were just gene therapy operating system it's the same people the same people are trying to destroy russia they're mad they're insane

and we're at a place where i'm talking about as americans those of us who know what's going on we're at a place right now that I don't know how to say this we've reached a place that you hope and pray that leaders of other nations

find a way to put these creeps in their place. Without destroying our nation. Without destroying us, without us being. You know, I would like to see America liberated. I'd like to see regime change in America. Yeah, I would like to see regime change in America. I'd like to see the Constitution restored in America

and get this corrupt regime out of here. I'd like to see the Constitution restored in America and get this corrupt regime out of here because they've destroyed our country. And they seek to destroy other countries too. And other countries are now fed up with it. And they're so fed up, they're willing to use nukes. That's how far it's gone. That's how far it's gone.

That's how far it's gone. That's how far it's gone. Well, the next big thing that we're about to see happen, and they said it would never happen, and we're about to see the movement of NATO troops into Ukraine. The first article we have here is from Zexpo's Polita in Poland. I practice that all day. Doc, you get a cookie. You were able to say that. So there was an interview with President Peter Pavel of Czechoslovakia.

Excuse me, frog in my throat. And he was asked a series of questions regarding what's going to happen next in Ukraine. And so they asked him a question about weapons. And they asked, so all kinds of weapons. He said, anything that will help them being Ukraine achieve their goals. If the goal is to liberate the entire territory, let's give them everything they need. Though, of course, there are limits. There are also limitations on the part of Ukraine because, for example, human resources are not infinite. So that's the important thing.

He's saying, basically saying Ukraine is running out of manpower to put on the front lines. So President Pavel went on to say Western aid also has limits. We have to be realistic, except that there is an election in the United States next year. After previous election campaigns in the USA, it is clear that the society and politicians focus more on internal matters during them. Even if there is an important global topic in the upcoming campaign, it will not be related to Europe, but to U.S.-Chinese relations. He went on to say America's interest in Ukraine and the level of aid may decline next year. And when America's interest wanes, many European countries will do the same. So they posed another question to Mr.

Pavel. You mentioned that these restrictions on the side of the West, including those related to the elections in the USA. So how much time do the Ukrainians have to launch a great counteroffensive to drive the Russians out of their territory? So he says, this should happen within a few months. The window of opportunity is open this year. Now he goes on to say after next winter, it will be extremely difficult to maintain the current level of aid. He knows something there. War fatigue is not only the exhaustion of human resources and equipment, the destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine, but also fatigue in the countries that provide aid.

Many countries, many politicians expect some progress this year. I believe that Ukraine will have only one attempt to launch a major counteroffensive. Therefore, if he attempt to launch a major counteroffensive. Therefore, if he decides to launch a major counteroffensive and it fails, it will be extremely difficult to obtain funds for the next one. OK, Doc. So what he's telling us is the NATO nuts are going to push for one big, massive campaign against the Russians in Ukraine. They're going to throw everything that they've got. And that, I think, includes NATO troops going into Ukraine.

I think so, too. And he admitted- Mr. Orban said it two weeks ago on Hungarian public radio. Right. And Mr. Pavel basically admitted to that as well by saying, Ukraine's running out of manpower. They don't have an infinite number of soldiers they can throw at the Russians. And he knows that the countries like the United States and other Western countries,

that the public is turning against it. They're tired of it. And it's going to be difficult for the politicians to keep sending money and weapons to zelinsky people are just tired of zelinsky begging for more and more and more they know it and they there's he's saying the u.s has an election coming in 2024 the american people don't care about ukraine and during the campaign the politicians are not going to care about Ukraine. What he's saying is, if we're going to crush the Russians,

it's got to happen in the next several months. That's what he's saying. The next several months. And we got to give them everything that they need to make that happen. We've got to give the Ukrainians

everything they need to make that happen. I'm just saying, why don't you just give them nuclear weapons anyway? I mean, just go ahead and go in that direction. Doc, we got about a minute and a half.

And so the folks watching us on the Word Network, you won't be able to see this whole thing. But I'll show you where this is going. RT reporting Poland may end up joining the Ukraine conflict. Polish troops may enter Ukraine. And where did RT get this information? From a Polish ambassador who made this statement.

Well, Poland may end up joining the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine should the latter fail to protect its, quote, independence. The Polish ambassador to France, Jan Emmerich Rozozewski, has said the senior diplomat made the remarks on Saturday while speaking live to the broadcaster, LCI. Rozozewski squarely blamed the hostilities, which have been going on for over a year already, on Moscow, stating it was not NATO, not Poland, not France, and not Slovakia that was ramping up international tensions. But Russia, according to the diplomat, the situation now,

either Ukraine will successfully defend its independence or we will be forced in any case to join this conflict. There it is. There it is. You've got a Polish ambassador saying it looks like Poland is going to have to join the conflict. And what does that mean? Polish troops will enter into Ukraine.

Poland is a NATO nation. The fight is on. And now it's going to be Russia against a NATO nation. We've got to take a break. If you're watching us on the Word Network, you can watch the rest of the program at truenews.com. If not, if you're on the Word Network, Doc and I are going to change costumes and we're going to give you morning manna. We'll be back here in a few seconds. Sometimes I think the people who watch us on Word Network must think that we're bipolar.

Because it's all going to burn. Hey, it's a wonderful morning. Oh, well. So we have a direct quote from a Polish ambassador that Poland is considering sending troops into Ukraine. Two weeks ago, the prime minister of Hungary said on Hungarian public radio. Hey, heads up. Heads up. I'm in the media.

He said, I can tell you, NATO is thinking about sending troops into Ukraine. Now, Mr. Orban doesn't want to do it. He's just, he was openly saying, this is what they're planning. And then you had the other gentleman, what was it, Pavel, who said that, you know, this has got to happen in the next couple of months. Yeah, you've got to have a counteroffensive now

or else it's all over because you won't be able to do it next year. It's got to happen this year. And there's fatigue. There's fatigue. They're running out of money. They're running out of ammo. They're running out of everything.

And they're running out of the public's patience. And they know it. And so we're now at the place of Polish troops entering. But I have a feeling, Doc, Poland will enter Western Ukraine. Yes, because of that. And then they'll just stay there. Right.

They'll enter Western Ukraine and look like we're marching off to war, we're marching off to war. Oh, you know what? I think we'll just stay here in Western Ukraine. We'll hold Western Ukraine. Yes, we're holding the line. The Russians can't get Western Ukraine.

We will, but the Russians won't get it. Why are we the only ones who can see this stuff? Well, Rick, they've spelled this out. That's what's frustrating. They said this is what's going to happen. When it's all said and done, Poland will occupy Western Ukraine. Russia is what's going to happen. When it's all said and done, Poland will occupy western Ukraine, Russia's going to

occupy eastern Ukraine, and you're going to have a small little enclave around Kiev called the Kiev Republic or Kiev Short Stop or Kiev something. When it's all said and done, that's where it's going to go. So we either go full-scale nuclear war or we move to that.

One or the other. Medvedev calls it the Republic of Kiev. Right. Because what he's saying is when this war is over, the only thing Zelensky will have is the city of Kiev. That'll be his kingdom. The Republic of Kiev.

Because everybody's going to carve up the country. Russia's going to take the breakaway provinces. Poland's going to carve up the country. Russia's going to take the breakaway provinces. Poland's going to take Western Ukraine. Which they've already claimed for themselves. And maybe Israel moves in and takes, I don't know. They've talked about Ukraine becoming Israel. Okay, so let's switch over to the Asian theater of World War III.

Because just like World War II, we had a European theater and a Pacific theater. So now we'll take you to the Pacific theater of World War III. And over the weekend, North Korea held nuclear counterattack simulation drills. Kim Jong-un urged to perfect readiness. And this is an open admission, a warning, whatever word you want to use, that North Korea plans to carry out a preemptive nuclear strike on the USA. Right. So listen to how he words this. North Korea said Monday it conducted drills simulating

a tactical nuclear counterattack against its enemies over the weekend as the U.S. and South Korea are staging their joint annual military exercise. The North's leader, Kim Jong-un, guided the training held Saturday and Sunday, including a ballistic missile launch drill designed to verify the operation of nuclear explosion control devices and detonators, according to the KCNA. He stressed the need to let service personnel get familiar with any unexpected circumstances and make them more perfectly prepared in their active posture of making an immediate and overwhelming nuclear counterattack anytime, KCNA said in an English-language report. Kim also presented the important nuclear force building orientation and the strategic task to be fulfilled in preparing the nuclear force for war.

It added without elaborating. So to me, it seems like it's saying that they are going in full bore for nuclear war at some point. And what did they test? The Wausau-17. Yes, the very missile that we've been talking about. Which even the West now, they're questioning what technology does the WS-17 have? They are incomplete on what the missile is capable of doing. They have some good ideas just by looking at pictures and video, but there may be more to it. There's a little bit

more information about this weekend drill. This comes from the Korea Herald. North Korea simulates nuclear airburst to attack South Korea. Right. So North Korea said it conducted a live fire drill simulating attacks on South Korea by exploding a tactical nuclear weapon mounted on a missile in the air, ramping up its nuclear saber rattling amid the ongoing defense-oriented Freedom Shield military exercise being conducted between the South and the U.S. North Korea's tactical nuclear operation units repeatedly practiced procedures

to enforce the leadership's orders to launch nuclear attacks on the first day of the drills. The military units staged a live-fire exercise simulating launching nuclear attacks on key enemy targets. The next day, the state media reported, North Korean nuclear forces fired a ballistic missile tipped with a mock tactical nuclear weapon able to hit targets in South Korean territory, it said. But state media notably reported that the tactical ballistic missile accurately exploded in midair 800 meters above a designated target in the EC. That's the most important piece of information in this article. After traveling

around 800 kilometers, claiming that the test confirmed the reliability of the operation of nuclear explosion control devices and detonators fitted in a nuclear warhead. Now, ground bursts generally used to destroy military targets, including underground military installations. An air explosion is utilized to maximize destructive power and spread damage, and therefore it is an appropriate method to attack, especially dense urban areas with numerous buildings. Which would be Seoul.

Right. And so what this article is basically saying, North Korea has perfected its targeting capability to accurately target urban areas. And so... With a nuclear airburst over a city. Right. And it was just last week, Times of London with the headline, Could the United States survive a North Korean attack? Which just caught us by surprise. Not could South Korea or Japan survive, but the United States.

It's like, wait a minute. Where was this leap in North Korean nuclear technology? When did this happen? And suddenly now we're being told, oh yeah, we've updated our intelligence. North Korea could seriously damage the United States. We may not be able to stop their incoming ICBMs. They've perfected them. There's going to be more warheads, multiple warheads.

We don't know if we can shoot them down. Something's changed. Something has changed. Yeah, enough that they're openly talking about it. Yeah. And then this next one, which was NHK TV in Tokyo, North Korean missile likely launched from underground silo. And this is a South Korean expert says the ballistic missile that North Korea fired on Sunday was likely launched from an underground facility,

not a mobile launch pad. The expert said photos released by North Korean media shows two pillars of smoke billowing into the sky in a V-shape, a special feature of underground launches. The expert speaking on condition of anonymity said Pyongyang may try to test fire larger missiles,

including the ICBM-class Hwasong-17 from underground silos. Doc, why this is really important is up until now, North Korea has used liquid fuel rockets. So with the liquid fuel rockets, you can see them through satellites. You can see them fueling the rocket. That's why we've always known in advance, it looks like the North Koreans are going to test an ICBM. They're moving equipment in place. They're moving out there. They're going to start the fueling process. They can watch all this, and they can calculate when the test is going to happen.

But a solid fuel rocket, you don't see it because the rocket is already loaded. Its fuel is already there. It's a solid fuel. And if it's underground in a silo, you have a solid fuel rocket's a solid fuel. And if it's underground in a silo, you have a solid fuel rocket loaded with its fuel. You can't see the fueling process and it's underground and a missile silo opens up. The West has no idea when these things are coming out. And certainly South Korea,

which is how far is Seoul from North Korea? About 10 miles. 10 miles. How many people live in Seoul? Close to 22 million. So a couple of nuclear air bursts over Seoul seconds, seconds after it's been launched. Right. There's no way to shoot it down. Right, and it shuts South Korea down at that point. I mean, it doesn't matter if you end up destroying North Korea as a result. You've shut down South Korea. There's no South Korea, and there's no U.S. basis in South Korea remaining. What do we have, about 35,000 men there? Right.

They're all wiped out instantly. It's over. I mean, it's gone.,000 men there. They're all wiped out instantly. It's over. I mean, it's gone. There's nobody there. Sure, the North Koreans are going to lose part of North Korea close to the DMZ. They don't care. They don't care. Seoul will be gone.

That's where we're at, Doc. And this weekend, Kim Jong-un, he ordered the North Korean military to prepare for a preemptive strike on the United States and South Korea. And he used the words, get it perfect. Get it perfect. In other words,

we're only going to get one shot at this. Get it perfect. I mean, really, isn't that what they're saying? Exactly. Novasti News Service reporting the SVR, that's a Russian intelligence agency, announced U.S. plans to arm radicals for new battles in Syria. So again, this is news coming out of Russia. We have no way to verify it. It's what their CIA, the SVR is the Russian CIA. So their intelligence agency said the U.S. is planning to reactivate

ISIS, which sounds like something we would do. Right. President Assad was just in Moscow last week, and so now this story. Good connection. So the U.S. plans to hand over, now listen to this, the U.S. plans to hand over

dozens of four-wheel drive pickup trucks. Remember those pickup truck pictures from years ago with ISIS? As well as portable anti-aircraft missile systems, anti-tank systems, tow an in-law to Islamist groups in Syria, the Press Bureau of the Russian Foreign Intelligence said. The director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, S.C. Narushkin, said that the U.S. continues to use Islamist groups under its control in Syria to undermine the positions of the legitimate government of this country, headed by Mr. Assad, the message said. It's noted that Washington assigns a special role to the so-called Free Syrian Army.

This formation in the SVR was called a conglomerate of armed opposition Kurdish and Arab groups operating in the center and northeast of the country. Through them, the Americans and their British allies are working with the underground formations of the Islamic State, which still remain in remote areas of the country. As stated, issues of arming ISIS are being resolved at the American military base at Al-Tanf in the province of H country. As stated, issues of arming ISIS are being resolved at the American military base at Al-Tanf in the province of Homs. Now, it goes on to say, in the near future, the formed group should be given several dozen all-wheel drive pickup trucks with heavy machine guns, as well as man pads, tow, and in-law ATGMs, the message says. So this comes on the heels of the report that

Syria has worked out a deal with Russia to build four military bases in Syria. So what do we do? Hey, do we still have any of those old ISIS hats sitting around here anywhere? Can we get ISIS going again in Syria? So really

it's the same script. They keep doing the same thing over and over again. It is. But we got to Ukraine in 2013-14 when Putin stood up to Obama in Syria. And

it just shut down Obama and France, the United States, France and the NATO boys were going to invade Syria they wanted to overthrow Bashar Assad put in a puppet regime and Putin stood up to them and stopped the destruction of the Christian churches and the beheading of the Christian pastors. And they, they immediately switched to Ukraine. And dog, if you went back, if you went back into our radio archives, I could find that date of when, when the anticipated NATO bombing of Syria came to a halt overnight.

I mean, we literally, I did true news one day. That night went to bed thinking, when we get up in the morning, NATO's going to be bombing Syria. That was a French cruiser sitting out in the Mediterranean, right? More than one. And for some reason, it was called off. And the only reason that I could discern was they got a call from Putin and said, if you do it, we're coming in after you.

And they backed down. And immediately, they left Syria and went to Ukraine. and if you find these true news tapes you would hear me say they have moved the war against Putin to Ukraine and then it will go back to Syria and they're just going to keep going back and forth that's what's happening right now

Putin has stopped them this one has been bloody so they're saying okay you want this we're going to go we're going to go back to Syria and we're going to rearm ISIS. Who created ISIS? Israel, United States. With some help from the Brits. And the Brits. The Brits were always in the back of all this stuff. And so there is no ISIS terrorist group. It's a bunch of killers armed and financed by the United States, just like Al-Qaeda.

Al-Qaeda was created by the CIA. Bin Laden was trained by the CIA. Yes. Bin Laden was trained by the CIA. And then the American people believe all these fictional stories that are put out in the media about ISIS and Al Qaeda. I mean, we were told ISIS was meaner than Al Qaeda. That the real Muslim terrorists, they were tired of these sissy Al-Qaeda people and they wanted some real fighting Muslim men and they got ISIS, you know? And then we had made partnerships with Al-Qaeda to get rid of ISIS.

Oh yeah, the story's like a comic book. It's just like a comic book. And how many times has ISIS or Al-Qaeda been completely wiped out? They're gone. Yes. They're just gone. We wiped them out. They're gone. Yes. They're just gone. We wiped them out.

They're dead. They're kaput, right? And then it's a... They come back. So expect fighting to start taking place again in Syria. So the Syrian people are going to suffer

because the CIA and the MI6 and all the intelligence agencies are going to ramp up in Syria, the U.S. arms defense contractors, they'll be able to move some of their profits over to Syria. And it just continues. At some point, somebody's going to bet these people out of business. I'm just afraid we're all going to die in the process, Doc. That's what troubles me. We're all going to die because of their insanity. Yes.

If these people didn't exist, the world would be pretty calm. Yeah, you know, most people in the world, they just want to raise their family, have a decent job, a roof over their head. The last thing everybody needs is shooting each other. want to raise their family, have a decent job, a roof over their head. The last thing everybody needs is shooting each other. So Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow today and had a private talk with Vladimir Putin. I think all of us can figure out what that was about.

You were telling me earlier today that different media outlets were trying to downplay Xi's visit or to somehow make it look like Russia. I saw one headline that said, Putin snubbed Xi.

I read it and said, Putin was not at the airport to greet him. This is a diplomatic snub and China will not forget. That to greet him. This is a diplomatic snub and China will not forget. So that's all propaganda. So the other story, this is a shift to multipolar world irreversible.

Xi Jinping is correct on this. There's a shift and it can't be stopped and the West has brought this onto themselves because of their arrogance. So Chinese President Xi Jinping has set the tone for his visit this week to Moscow by touting improving relations with Russia in the 10 years since he took office and vowing that the transition to a multipolar world liberated from U.S. domination will not be stopped. He said, the world today is going through profound changes unseen in a century. Mr. Xi wrote this in an article published on Sunday by Rosaskaya Gazeta. The historical trend of peace, development, and win-win cooperation is unstoppable.

He's talking about China, Russia, and most of the rest of the world. The prevailing trends of world multipolarity, economic globalization, and greater democracy in international relations are irreversible. The next one, we're not going to have time to read through all this because we've got a lot to cover. We haven't talked about the bank failures. We haven't talked about the arrest of donald trump uh this is uh jeeke proposes global civilization initiative

urges political parties to steer course for modernization so what's very troubling about this doc is that 500 leaders of political parties from around the world yes you wonder who from the u.s democratic party was there somebody should find out 500 political parties from 150 nations was in attendance of this meeting. And Xi Jinping proposed a global civilization initiative. The story is too long right now for us to go into, but if you could find that article, you should read it. Basically, he's being a vision caster now. So now he's transitioning. He's firmly in charge of China.

He's not going anywhere. He's in his third five-year term. He'll be there forever at this point. He's now leading the world. That's right. That's the transition that we're about to see, where China is now, China's negotiating peace deals with Saudi Arabia and Iran, might broker a deal between Russia and Ukraine. Who knows? Which, by the way, Biden said a ceasefire is unacceptable. Oh, yes. We can't have this. Stop shooting people?

We can't have this. We've got an agenda. We have a schedule. We have profits to make. What are you talking about a ceasefire? Let's get over to why we're having these wars it's because the western banking system built on usury is collapsing the system run by the rothschilds and the international banksters this thing is dying and it is imploding under its weight of debt and usury. Wall Street Journal, SMB, that's the Swiss National Bank, offers roughly $100 billion liquidity line to UBS as part of a Credit Suisse deal. So UBS, United Bank of Switzerland, purchased Credit Suisse over the weekend,

and the Swiss National Bank, their Federal Reserve, said, it's not a bailout, but we'll just give you a $100 billion credit line that you can tap. Just in case you have a run on your bank. $100 billion credit line. This is a big event. Last week was SVB. Yes. This week it's Credit Suisse.

One of the biggest banks in the world. And it went under this weekend, Doc. In a big way. It's what, I don't know,

165 years old? In my lifetime, I never thought I'd see the day that Critics' Puss would go under. I mean, it used to be a name

that you were absolutely confident in as far as your holdings are concerned and under. I mean, it used to be a name that, I mean, you were absolutely confident in. Yes. As far as your holdings are concerned and everything. But now, it's out. And, you know, some of the biggest losers in all this with Credit Suisse, Rick, we talked about international relations, were the Saudis. The Saudis have lost billions of dollars.

Not only Saudis, but this next one, this is number 72, Financial Times. Holders of $17 billion of credit Swiss bonds wiped out in this deal approved by the Swiss National Bank. The bondholders of the bank. Now, it used to be that a bond was a guarantee. In a bank. Yes, a guarantee that you've got your money.

But a bond in a bank. Yes. Of all places. Where could it be safer? And they wiped them out. $17 billion of bonds. They just said, sorry, your bonds are worthless. You don't collect a dime.

We just sold this bank to UBS, and they don't want your bonds. So what this will likely do is that if there are any other banks that fail in Europe, they're going to do the same thing over and over again because they figured out, hey, we can do this. We can just take the investor's money right out of their accounts or basically just devalue it so we don't owe it. Imagine being able to write off your electric bill every month. Just get your electric bill in the mail and say, oh, instead of $150, it's zero.

Yep, there it is. I think we ought to get through this one. Okay. Holders of $17 billion of Credit Suisse bonds will have their investment wiped out following the bank's takeover. This is number 73. Following the bank's takeover by UBS

in a surprise move that is expected to cause ructions in European debt markets when they open on Monday. And it did today. As part of the historic deal between the banks, Swiss financial regulator Finma ordered that $16, basically $17 billion of credit swiss's additional tier one that's at1 bonds a relatively risky class of bank debt will be written down to zero now this is the financial times of london reporting this early this morning uh we'll go on yes The extraordinary government support will trigger a complete write-down of the nominal value of all AT1 shares of Credit Suisse in the amount of around Swiss francs, 16 billion,

and thus an increase in core capital, Thinma said. But several people involved in negotiating the deal said wiping out AT1 holders, a move that appeared to surprise markets, would have wider repercussions and was likely to lead to a sell-off of other bank debt. Exactly what you said, Doc. If you're holding a bond, what are you going to do right now? Get rid of it. Absolutely. You're not going to hold any bonds. So what FINMA has done,

breaking capital structure will have a long-term consequence for any Swiss financial debt, said one Credit Suisse AT1 holder. One banker said the decision could lead to a nightmare in European debt markets, particularly given bondholders were having heavier losses forced on them than shareholders in Credit Suisse. AT1s were introduced as part of the post-global financial crisis regulatory reforms that push banks to increase their capital levels. They're a form of contingent convertible security, or COCO, which can be converted into equity if the bank runs into trouble.

If a bank's capital ratio falls below a predefined threshold, AT1 investors can lose their principal or have their investment converted to equity. He said the market is likely to be shocked by such a blatant inversion of the hierarchy of creditors and by the decision to sweeten an equity deal at the expense of bondholders. And that's coming from Jerome LaGrasse.

You mean shocked by outright theft. Yeah, I'm shocked that you stole money from me. Now, those were risky bonds, but at the same time, bonds in a bank, Rick. And besides, these instruments were created during the COVID crisis for the main purpose of keeping the banks afloat. Yes. Now, you mentioned the Saudis. The Saudis are another group of people that got burned yesterday. Saudi National Bank loses over $1 billion in Credit Suisse investment.

Yes. Already, the Saudis are walking away from Western banks. They're done. We saw it last week where they just said, we're out of here. We're not going to support. We're not going to pump any more money in. They got burned. They lost a billion dollars on their investment. And they're not going to do it again. They're going to take their money elsewhere. This next article is from NHK. Major central banks agree to jointly boost global dollar liquidity.

In other words, start up the printing presses, folks. We're going to dump more money into the markets here. Yeah, the central banks, this will happen today. United States, Japan, EU, Britain, Switzerland, and Canada in a coordinated move to inject more money into the global financial system. And not just on a weekly basis now, on a daily basis, the article says. So those presses are going to be running day and night.

And they're going to get tired of running those presses and say, let's just convert this to digital. That way we won't have to run these presses all the time. But you're right, Doc, they don't. I know they don't. Yeah, they don't have to run these presses all the time. But you're right, Doc. They don't- I know they don't. Yeah. They don't press money anymore. They just add digits. I just like the idea of the money going through. I know. But it's really old fashioned idea. They don't even print money anymore. They just

generate digits and create more fake money in the money supply. Let's get over to the arrest of Donald Trump. So most of you know what's going on. President Trump placed this message on Truth Social, I guess, was that Saturday? Saying that he's going to be arrested on Tuesday. This was quite the shock. I mean, it sent just, you know, tidal waves through social media on Saturday and Sunday. And so he said, you know, get out there in the streets, protest, take your country back. Well, that statement right there sent the news media and the Democrats into a frenzy. And immediately they started

saying it's January 6th, 2.0. Trump needs to be arrested and held indefinitely. Doc, I'm seeing reports where Democratic leaders and lawyers and prosecutors are saying he should be denied bail and held in custody until his trial. Which means Donald Trump could be locked up in solitary confinement for one to two years. Because they'll hold out his trial as long as they can. And if you ask the ordinary American out there why he's being arrested, what would they say, Rick? Most of them have no idea. They would maybe say he had classified documents. Or he was involved in January 6th or something.

What all this is about, it's about the Stormy Daniels nonsense. About the hush money being paid to her. But Hunter Biden, which last week we saw documented evidence that a $3 million bank wire came in from China to a company linked to the Communist Party. $3 million came into a Biden-controlled corporation and it was divvied up between various members of the Biden family, including Uncle Joe. No handcuffs on the Bidens. No.

The reason Trump is being arrested tomorrow is to get that story off the front pages of the newspapers. Get everybody talking about, hey, Trump, he's been arrested. Some people will love it. Other people will hate it. But you're not talking about the Bidens getting money from China. And there's nobody raiding the Biden home, Hunter Biden's home, James Biden's home. Nobody's going to the White House handcuffing them. You're not going to see Joe Biden with a mugshot. They're going to get away

with their crimes. Why? We're back to the same people that are starting this world war with Russia. It's the same people. Where were they outsourcing their crimes? Ukraine. Why did they impeach Trump? He was trying to find out what Biden was doing in Ukraine. Right. That's right at the heart of it, right there. It's all connected. Unbelievable that this is happening. So the New York Times today said, this is authorities prepare for unprecedented arrest of ex-president. He would be fingerprinted. He would be photographed. He could even be handcuffed.

And if Donald J. Trump is indicted by a Manhattan grand jury the next day ahead of his role in a hush money payments to a porn star, the former president of the United States will be read the standard Miranda warning. He will be told that he has the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Doc, they are going to humiliate Donald Trump. That's the plan. They're going to perp walk him. They're going to handcuff him. They're going to do a police mugshot. They want the whole world to see Donald Trump. And every media outlet

is going to have that mugshot. Yes. Everywhere. It is to humiliate him so that he loses support in 2024. And to destroy his campaign, it has, they know, they know they're not going to get a conviction. They know it. The charges are so flimsy. Look, I don't like Donald Trump's moral code. I don't like his association with hookers and strippers and everybody else. But legally, a wealthy man paying

a stripper to stay quiet is not a crime. It happens all the time. They consider these nuisance settlements. Give them money, they'll go away. It's not a crime. They have to find a way to, the only way they can find a crime is to find something, some rule that Trump broke. If he did, you know, I mean, if he did make the payment, we don't even know that. They have to find some rule that he broke

in the transfer of the payment because the payment itself is not a crime. They have to find, well, you should have done it this way. Or you should have declared it or something along that line. They're looking for some loophole. They've got to find something, some tiny little infraction, so that they can get a conviction. And ordinarily, it would be a misdemeanor.

They're making it a felony. And if you're a felony, guess what? If you're convicted of a felony, you can't vote. This is insane. Absolutely. So the same people that want to arrest Vladimir Putin are going to attempt tomorrow to arrest Donald Trump. Now, the one man who could stop it,

and he hasn't said a word so far, is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He could stop it. Well, actually this afternoon he said, I don't want to get involved in any media circus that's taking place in New York. So he's not going to do anything? Is that what that means? That's in my interpretation. He made a major political mistake. He made a major political mistake. Governor DeSantis could stop this insanity how's that because these charges against donald trump are state charges they're actually city charges

manhattan they're not even state they're manhattan it's like a county county prosecutor it's not the federal government it's not the department of justice It's not the federal government. It's not the Department of Justice. It's not the New York State Attorney General. It's a county prosecutor. It's Manhattan. A guy that got elected with George Soros money. So what's the protocol?

If a prosecutor in New York State wants to arrest somebody in Florida, it could be any states. It could be Rhode Island wants to arrest somebody in Arizona. So what's the procedure? If it's local or state level, not federal. If it was federal, U.S. Marshals would go in and arrest Donald Trump. There would be a federal arrest warrant, and U.S. Marshals would be dispatched, and that would be all there is to it, a federal team of U.S. Marshals. But this isn't federal. It's local. So the prosecutor in New York has got to notify law enforcement in Florida.

There's a Floridian that we want to arrest. His name is Donald J. Trump. He lives in Mar-a-Lago. Then the Florida state police go over and pick him up and take him to a jail. And they book him. And there they do, you know, all the booking. Right. And then New York sends police officers to Florida to the county jail and they put him in a van and drive him to or fly him up to New York, okay? You have to get the state's approval to do it. Governor Ron DeSantis could stop it.

All he has to do is tell New York's prosecutor, the county prosecutor, I'm not going to allow it. This is ridiculous. You're attempting to arrest the former president of the United States? I'm not going to permit you to come into Florida and do it. Now, if that happens, Donald Trump is locked down inside the state of Florida.

Because if he leaves the state of Florida, or steps on any property that is not controlled by Florida, such as federal government. He could be picked up. But if Ron DeSantis would back him, Donald Trump could go all the way up to the Florida-Georgia border and drop his pants in moon New York, and they couldn't do anything about it.

So where's Ron DeSantis right now? Well, Ron DeSantis right now is facing the wrath of Donald Trump. This is from Forbes. Donald Trump suggests DeSantis will face allegations from underage girls or possibly a man after speaking out on Manhattan probe. So now the war is on. Well, Trump just, he just, now big mouth Trump, big mouth Trump just ended any possibility that over the next 24 hours, Ron DeSantis would help him. See, Trump's mouth is so big, he can't keep his mouth shut. So when he has the right to remain silent, he won't. He can't remain, right. So why isn't DeSantis helping him? Because Trump has been calling DeSantis meathead. Right.

If he didn't call him meathead, Trump would probably, I mean, DeSantis would probably be helping him right now. So now, what does Trump do? He says, I'm going to make accusations against DeSantis. This is why Donald Trump is so radioactive. Just when people want to help him, he does something stupid. And then the people that want him to succeed say, oh my gosh, you just did it again.

So you know what? He's going to be arrested tomorrow. His one hope was Ron DeSantis blocking it. He's now going to be arrested tomorrow. It's going to happen now. Well. Well, one other thing that I can tell you before we leave, I'm not going to go deep into the story. This is number 94.

Vulcan facility seizure adds to tension between the United States and Mexico. This is a story very few people know about. Yes, a concrete manufacturer, I'm not sure the best way to describe that, was taken over by Mexican authorities over the weekend. By the military? Yes. The seizure of a U.S. company's marine terminal in Mexico has drawn criticism from a U.S. senator and risks sparking more tension between the two nations amid spats over energy and security.

U.S. construction firm Vulcan Materials alleges that armed forces, including from the Mexican government, launched a takeover of its facilities in the country's southeast on Tuesday. Now, the company says a federal judge in Mexico has ordered a stay on any government effort to confiscate the property, and that order could not be independently verified. Now, the Vulcan Terminal's operations have been shut down since last year

in a feud with Lopez Obrador, who accused the company of extracting materials without the proper permits. What exactly happened last week remains murky. The Mexican government has made no statement about the seizure. Vulcan says it is shocked that Mexican forces and personnel from the cement giant C-MEX took over the facility. And then on Sunday, Reforma newspaper published, excuse me, published video footage showing police cars and vehicles branded with a C-MEX's logo entering the plant.

Okay, so bottom line is this plant produces a lot of concrete that is exported to the United States, particularly the ready mix, the instant mix concrete, a lot of it comes from that plant. We've heard about, for two years, we've heard about logistic supply line problems that contractors can't get cement and other things for building projects. This is definitely going to slow it down.

I'm going to show you a headline from Fox News, and then I'll show you the video, and then we're going to sign off. This is Fox News. American company outraged after Mexican military police seized Caribbean facility. Executive said this is insane. Doc, I personally believe this is part of the attack on the United States right now, that Mexico is lining up with China. Yes. That plant is going to go into the hands of the Chinese. And who knows where you have a Chinese military base in Mexico

or a Russian military base in Mexico. There's a new world alignment taking place. So this is the Vulcan cement facility in Mexico. There's a new world alignment taking place. So this is the Vulcan cement facility in Mexico. And you see our police cruisers, military cruisers coming into the property of the facility. They made a massive show of force here. Just dozens of vehicles that are coming in with the plan to basically operate the facility as a CMEX facility. I mean, they literally just seized a U.S. factory cement production facility in Mexico.

They just seized it. And I think China will end up controlling it. Or at least China will be getting the products. Everything is changing. Everything. Nothing's going to be the same. You and I have got to figure out how to live in a new world. That's our objective right now.

We have to figure out how to live and survive and thrive in a new world. It's not going to be, we're not going back to anything you and I have known. Not going to happen. But through the grace of God, we will succeed. If your mission is to fulfill God's purpose, you will be blessed. You will succeed. Even in difficult circumstances, God will take care of his own. But we need to know the world has changed this year. 2023 marks the beginning of the new New World Order. That's the big story for this year. We're going to sign off.
