But you know what my favorite are or 53 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: when guys actually you know, are able to uh utilize 54 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: their experiences in the world that we come from as 55 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: as a conduit for opening their consciousness to a much 56 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: more what would be the right word, a much more 57 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: hard reality to the fact of of the roles we 58 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: actually play in Geode politics. I'll never forget when I 59 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: first my only combat deployment in the teams in the 60 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: summer O two, when I used to believe that I 61 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: was you know, the tip of the spear, and I 62 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: was out there and I was going to change the 63 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: course of history. And next you know, and I realized, well, 64 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: not only am I, you know, a pawn not a 65 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: pawn on this you know, you know, you know, chessboard 66 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: of a million infinite chess boards, playing a game I 67 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: don't understand with rules that aren't really the rules. But 68 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: I was actually like a piece of wint on the 69 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: felt underneath the pond. And and I, you know, finding 70 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: other people that are able to deliver that without demeaning 71 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: the significance of the communities that we come from, the 72 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: historical relevance in the work of our compatriots, who who 73 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: really in there in the individual way have have done 74 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: remarkable things, but are still able to take a step 75 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: back and go, ohh, there's a much bigger picture here 76 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: going on. So you're you're that guy for me? 77 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: Well, I think maybe perhaps because I had an unusual 78 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: path into sof if I didn't get there till I 79 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: was in my forties. I had my forty second birthday 80 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: the second day of selection. 81 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, the first time I went selection because 82 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: I separated my right shoulder. I had to go back 83 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: about seven months later and finally did get selected. 84 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: But I already been in tech. 85 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 3: I'd already been in Silicon Valley I had already be 86 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 3: an investment banker oriented around technology mostly. I've been in 87 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: the art business for a little bit as a chief 88 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: financial officer in Europe, so I did and you know, 89 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 3: in Monaco, and you know, so I'd had and then 90 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: i had a very unique mother and childhood, so. 91 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 2: I'd had a lot of this kind of experience. 92 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: I went into soft because there was some there was 93 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 3: some dynamics I didn't understand that I couldn't get in 94 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: the books, that I couldn't get in the conversations with, 95 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: you know, the community I came from and. 96 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: Engaged with. 97 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: And I was also looking in financial data when I 98 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 3: was doing analysis and due diligence for investments around the world, 99 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: and things didn't add up. It's, you know, what was 100 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 3: being articulated by the best financial information companies and companies, 101 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: et cetera at the time didn't match up to what 102 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: was going on in the world. And then you'd see 103 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: even the best analysts were not able to make the 104 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: right analysis. I was like, Okay, well, something's wrong with 105 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: the baseline frontline data. I need to get out there 106 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: in the world and outside of the you know, curated 107 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: safety bubble of an investor in some part of the world, 108 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 3: and the only way to do that was like. 109 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: And in a certain mission set. 110 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: I was like, okay, well, the only guys I know 111 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: that do that are the green Berets, you know, specifically 112 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 3: the dime mission, diplomacy, information, military economics, right, and then 113 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: increasingly the finance, intelligence, and law enforcement are legal as well. 114 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: And so I'd already had a bit. 115 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: Of a life before, which gave me a little bit 116 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: of a different perspective, you know, substantive. 117 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: And then I had an im mental. 118 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: Amount to learn about SOLF itself and its mission and 119 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: the people. And and then there was the same thing. 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 3: It was like, okay, well we're out doing work, but 121 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: the data doesn't match up to what we're being told. 122 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: That's right, the intelligence doesn't match up. And then I 123 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: was like, I was involved in writing some of the 124 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: intelligence reports. And then I go back into a certain 125 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: database of databases later on a year or two years later, 126 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 3: and what I've written wasn't That's not what we wrote. 127 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: Somebody had edited that before it finally got accepted, right, 128 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 3: So then I started going, I wonder how much that's 129 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: been happening in. 130 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: History, right, exactly? 131 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: Wonder how And then it's like, okay, so why is 132 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: that happening? Well, I'd had some time in algorithmic high 133 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: frequency trading before I went in in late two thousand 134 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: and eight, and I would look at tartans went into 135 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: the targeting side of things with the SITH, and it 136 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: was interesting who we were allowed to look at for 137 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: targeting and who was actually being exercised. And as you know, 138 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: that's not always kill you know, more often than not, 139 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: it's you know, if not capture, co opt in some 140 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: other way to get them working for you, right, But 141 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: it was like, who were we actually who was who 142 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 3: was the tier one guys and you know, the equivalent 143 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 3: tier one local assets actually exercising and why why them? 144 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: Well it short turned out a whole lot of times 145 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 3: that if you talk to the threat finance guys, you'd 146 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 3: find out why. And it had something to do with 147 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 3: moving some stock in some exchange, you know, some market 148 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 3: around the world for three or four days, so algorithmic 149 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: trading guys could make a billion dollars or so. 150 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: Yep, that is uh. Those are the things that kind 151 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: of hit you like a ton of bricks. For me, 152 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: the big one was when I left the teams, I 153 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: went to work for Blackwater right and my second gig, 154 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: well first gig was working an Azerbaijan for about ten months, 155 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: and our job was to design and implement a maritime 156 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: interdiction program for the cas be It And what ended 157 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: up coming out was it's essentially some type of reconnaissance 158 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: mission for the nuclear material that's moving north and south, 159 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: you know, from Russia and Iran. And then the next 160 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: one was doing training counter drug command. It was in Afghanistan, 161 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: which is the greatest what is it, the greatest irony 162 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: on the planet when after the second op I you know, 163 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: was mentoring on and it was the second drug lord 164 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: we tried to take down and there was nobody there, right, 165 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: And so that's for me all of a sudden, you know, 166 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: and I'm just a kid still, and I thought I 167 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: had understand a little bit of the world. But now 168 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, things really start to unfold for me. 169 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: And by the time I went to work for you know, 170 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: the agency, it was a whole different ballgame. At that time, 171 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: I was I was kind of awoken to the real 172 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: complexities of how all of this stuff is interlaced. And 173 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: that's why I think, you know, the content that you're 174 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: putting out is so critical to help people understand the 175 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: depths of of these Maybe you know these these playbooks, 176 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: if you will, right, these these these are frameworks that 177 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: have been in place, not not for you know, strictly 178 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: post World War two or post Vietnam or or even 179 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: the modern you know, g WID. I mean, these are 180 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: playbooks that have been around for a long long time. 181 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: And and so what I was hoping you could do 182 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: today is just introduce, you know, that one article the 183 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: evolution of the financialist kill chain, and you could explain 184 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: what that financialist kill chain is, and then the history 185 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: of this story, so we can get people to try 186 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: to start to think in a grander scale about how 187 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: all of this stuff is in related. 188 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, so maybe we walked through the seven steps of 189 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: the kill chain itself. And a little background just just 190 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: to give you. In the nineties, I did corporate restructuring. 191 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 3: This was after the leverage buyout days of the eighties, 192 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: where you know, junk bonds cheap, you know, the equivalent 193 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 3: of cheap free money at the time, you know, like 194 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: quality any Easy now built the bri equity industry. 195 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: Back in the eighties Gecko days, we got greed. 196 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: Is good, right, the k k R days, the you know, 197 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: so a good number of the billionaires that we have 198 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: today were made in the leverage buyout days, right, the. 199 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: Non tech oligarch ones. 200 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: So on the other side of that, in the nineties, 201 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 3: we had to fix all those problems we had because 202 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: all of it was it was one of the first 203 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: great flea scenes. Okay, all of these private companies, right, 204 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: all these assets, all these private companies slammed them together 205 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 3: in these big conglomerates, raised massive amounts of debt to 206 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: make those acquisitions, floated junk bonds to get people to 207 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: pay for it, and IPOs, all of which though you know, 208 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: eighty plus percent of the proposed value of these you know, 209 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 3: break everything up, you know, bring everything together into big, 210 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: massive conglomerate companies, centralize everything. All these you know, valued 211 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: unlocking things that were sold to raise all this debt 212 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: and junk paper and to dump these onto the public 213 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: markets was all a lie. It was never intended for that. 214 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: It was intended for the fees that were made in 215 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: the process and the wealth that people made in the 216 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: markets by taking wealth from retirement funds that were increasingly 217 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: legally allowed to invest in the stock markets. Okay, in 218 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: the nineties, we had to fix all those problems or 219 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: many of those problems, and unfortunately we couldn't fix a 220 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: whole lot, but there was things we could do well recently. 221 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: And I don't know why I didn't think about this before, 222 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: but maybe it just wasn't part of the path as 223 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 3: I started to realize, well, that happens at the level 224 00:13:53,200 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 3: of nations, principalities, dukedoms, earldoms, baronets. You know that this 225 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: has been going on for a very very long time, 226 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 3: and the West Phalian world model put in place in 227 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 3: the sixteen hundreds is what really instantiated this in all 228 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 3: of the West at every level. 229 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: So maybe we talked to kill chain. 230 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: And keep in mind that it's both corporations, banks, you know. 231 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: So this is playing out in the business and industry 232 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 3: and finance, but it's also happening at the state level, 233 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: at the nation state level, okay, with the same financialists 234 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: behind it all. So the first step is infiltration and influence. 235 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: So the financialistsmbed themselves in the country's leadership, posing as 236 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: advisors or allies. 237 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: What the hell is the we the world economic forma. 238 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: Right stakeholder, right, It's the state stay. 239 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So. 240 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 3: What was Operation maxwell Epstein? Really it wasn't about kids. 241 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: That was just a mechanism. And there's all kinds of 242 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 3: other ways to compromise people and to get them onto it, right. 243 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 3: So that's the infiltration and influence. Then there's debt entrapment. 244 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: They push unsustainable loans, locking nations into repayment cycles. What 245 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 3: was the whole climate crisis thing? The whole climate you know, 246 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 3: you've got to invest all of this money. You know, cities, county, 247 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: states and nations had to invest, you know, or create 248 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: municipal bonds that the financialists could buy and trade so 249 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: that you could raise the debt so that you could 250 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: roll out this new infrastructure, right, and everything related and 251 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: all kinds of other things. But that's one that comes 252 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: to my tought of my mind. In the process, what 253 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 3: are you doing. You're identifying assets, right, You're identifying the 254 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 3: assets in that country or in that company or that corporation, 255 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: because now you're on the inside. Now you've got people 256 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 3: on the inside. Now you have you know, you're trying 257 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 3: to expand upon what you're doing. You're trying to you're 258 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: bringing more people in who get paid off a little 259 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: bit or make some money or some career or whatever 260 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: it is. But what you're really doing inside of all 261 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: of there is you're identifying assets of value to you 262 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: and you're figuring out, how can I gain access to 263 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: that asset? How can I Because what do the financialists 264 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 3: need more than anything else? They need collateral, right, because 265 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 3: you've got to have collateral for debt. They don't create 266 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: anything ever ever, so they have to find assets that 267 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 3: others have created and established and in the form of. 268 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: States, nation states. That's infrastructure, wow, And his activity. 269 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: Is that that's that's your commodities, right, that's the stuff 270 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: that comes out of the ground. That's your correct rare money. 271 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 3: It's also it's also revenue bases for power generation, so 272 00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: it's your utilities. It's your you know, so power generation gas, 273 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 3: so it's also tax bass right, so San Francisco. For 274 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 3: the financialists, that's an asset. That's a revenue generator, right. 275 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 3: So you sell bonds to build up or improve your 276 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: revenue generating utilities. Those bonds are purchased by the financiers, 277 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 3: they're paid off by the taxpayers. Are they're they're secured 278 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 3: and guaranteed by the tax base, right, what is the 279 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 3: US national debt? The US national debt is you know, 280 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 3: is the using the United States tax base as an 281 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 3: asset as a collateralized asset in the form of that 282 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 3: debt is collateral. It's why treasuries are the most secure 283 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 3: collateral in the world, the most sought after collateral in 284 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 3: the world. 285 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: Why because it's backed up. 286 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: By the by the ability of the United States to 287 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 3: enforce people to pay tax through the violence. 288 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: How that's that's the key, right, don't pay your taxes, 289 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: get a knocked go to jail, to jail everything. How 290 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: the pension funds integrated into. 291 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 3: That, right, So that's through you know, management of Black Rock, 292 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 3: State Street, Vanguard, et cetera. That's another mechanism whereby they 293 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 3: those funds in the retirement funds. 294 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 2: Is collateral as well. 295 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: That's what I thought. 296 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 3: Funds under management can be used as collateral. Now it 297 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: should be illegal, and it was until nineteen ninety four 298 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: Deregulation Act. So, but all of these things are collateralized assets. 299 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 3: Now there's there are some strictures, limitations on the ability 300 00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 3: to how do you enforce the payment or the acquisition 301 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: of collateral, And there are some limitations on the retirement stuff, 302 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 3: but not much. That's that whole bailian thing, right, that great, 303 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 3: the great taking stuff that the gentleman whose names scares 304 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 3: me right now, but who's very brilliant about. 305 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: All that articulates. That's what that is. 306 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 3: It's the mechanims whereby should they need to expend that collateral. 307 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 3: They have the mechanisms through the banks and other things, 308 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 3: you know, the hypothfication system, et cetera, to take that 309 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 3: asset right, right, so you know assets value, resource, land, industry, 310 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 3: tax bases, infrastructure, retirement funds, et cetera. Now there's limit, 311 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 3: they don't necessarily because everything they do is on debt, right, 312 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 3: Everything that they do is based off of debt and 313 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: fees fees earned. There's various ways in which they get 314 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: their fees. They don't always want to cash out that asset. 315 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: That's not always in their best interest, especially if they 316 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 3: went after retirement funds, et cetera. There'll be a revolution, right, 317 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 3: But for as long as they can use it as 318 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 3: many ways as they can, they're going to use that 319 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 3: as a collateralized asset that gains them access to other 320 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 3: things other countries, other states, bigger investments, big corporations. And 321 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 3: a prime example of this is black Rock. It's exactly 322 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: what Blackrock does with something like tens of billions on 323 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 3: its own books. It manages tens of trillions, right, right, Okay, 324 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 3: so that's step three. The third step is and they're 325 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 3: constantly doing step three, which is asset identification constantly, and 326 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: that's natural resources, you know, in countries, locations, it's all 327 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: kinds of things. So anything that could be used as 328 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 3: collateral for lending in debt or for the refinancing of 329 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: old debts, which is a lot of what happens, right, Okay. 330 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: Economic destabilization is step four. That's where the markets are 331 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 3: manipulated to deepen a crisis. 332 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 2: Right. 333 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 3: Sometimes there's pulsing of that destabilization so that they can 334 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: liquidate some assets, they can liquidate some positions, they. 335 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: Can roll over debt at a lower rate, right, all 336 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: these kinds of things. 337 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 3: But ultimately, the ability of that to compensate for the 338 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 3: theft of productivity, the theft of real asset value improvement 339 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 3: into the financialist system can't be compensated for anymore, and 340 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 3: so that destabilization is constantly woven in there. So because 341 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 3: later they're going to have to do step seven. So 342 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 3: debt five. Step five's debt for asset swaps. This is 343 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 3: the pulsing, right, they'll pulse and someone won't be able 344 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 3: to pay the debt, and so the financialists will come 345 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 3: in with cap and they'll buy that asset at a 346 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 3: at a discounted rate. 347 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: Discounted rate. 348 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: Wow. 349 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: Right, So asset seas in exchange for debt relief. And 350 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: this we've seen this not just in corporations, but it 351 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: meant you know, municipalities right right. Water, So there's the 352 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 3: The Samarians talked about hydraulic despotism thousands of years ago, 353 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 3: and hydraulic despotism is if you can control the flow 354 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 3: of water, you control of people, right, damn it right, 355 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 3: damming diversion. So the hydraulic despotism beyond that also includes agriculture, 356 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: includes fuel. 357 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: For cooking, for other things. It includes electricity. 358 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Today blotting out the sun, blotting out the. 359 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 2: Right. 360 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: So it's all of it collectively is called hydraulic despotism 361 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: because of the earlier But okay, if you control so 362 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 3: when they do their debt for. 363 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 2: Assets swaps, the assets. 364 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 3: That they go after are the ones that support hydraulic 365 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: despotism in all of its forms, got it okay? 366 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: And or which provide revenues. 367 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: But if you see them, and sometimes those are the 368 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: same because they're your utilities and other things. 369 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: Right. 370 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 3: But generally when they go for a swap, an actual 371 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 3: hard collateral for debt swap, they go for assets that 372 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 3: give not generally always give them more power. Or sometimes 373 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: they'll go after assets that they can flip at a 374 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 3: higher value to somebody else that they already know about. 375 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 3: Or as what happened turned out to be in the 376 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: leverage buyout days of the seventies and eighties into the 377 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 3: early nineties, they had a lot of the companies they 378 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 3: went after had cash. 379 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: Hm. 380 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: Right, They had cash. 381 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: Because cash is king and that way they want that cash. 382 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: Correct. Correct. 383 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 3: So it turned out what happened in the starting the 384 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 3: nineties is companies didn't keep very much cash anymore. 385 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: They just kept it in. 386 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 3: Convertibles, in debt, et cetera, which unfortunately made them more 387 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 3: even more susceptible. All right, So number six is extraction 388 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: and exploitation. Wealth is dreamed through profit extraction. 389 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. They take the asset through a 390 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 2: debt swap. 391 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: In its verious complex forms, and they sell that to 392 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 3: somebody else, or they put it into a fund, right, 393 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 3: private equity fund, hedge fund, whatever, excuse me, so that 394 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 3: they can continue to benefit from the revenues generated by it, 395 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 3: or they'll put it into they'll put it into a 396 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: trust or a funder or some kind of an account 397 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: that then they can use it as collateral to leverage 398 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 3: up ten to twenty eight hundred times through hypothecation, et cetera. 399 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: Right. 400 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 3: The whole purpose, however, is to tract as much value 401 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 3: out of it for as long as they can, right, okay, 402 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 3: all right, and then to exploit it and then final stage, 403 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: which they have to do. Okay, the final stage is 404 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 3: a step seven, which is abandonment and collapse. They have to, 405 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 3: you know, once they've extracted everything they can, and so 406 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 3: you have to think of these like parasites. Yep, like 407 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 3: a virulent, virulent host killing parasite. Because that's exactly the 408 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: mind and the concept the book I wrote, The Eternal War, 409 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 3: goes into this, right. 410 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: I started that last week. 411 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 2: By the way. 412 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: It's all fascinating thing awesome, you know, So they at 413 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 3: some point they have to abandon collapse and move on. Now, 414 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 3: they've already moved on by that point, right, But they 415 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: have to abandon and collapse because the cost for them 416 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: to maintain the illusion of a functioning whole system becomes 417 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 3: too expensive. They don't want to carry it. They don't 418 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 3: want to bury it as well. They can't hide what 419 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 3: they've done anymore, right, So they have to do a 420 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 3: collapse war generally, or civil war or failed narco state, 421 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 3: et cetera. They have to do some kind of a 422 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 3: collapse so that, you know, a genocide, so that you're 423 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 3: so busy fighting each other and trying to survive. 424 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: That you can't look for and see what they've done. 425 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 3: You can't go after him, right, You can't organize and 426 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 3: coordinate to go after them and get get wealth back 427 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: from them. What wealth is possible? Like not much? Because 428 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 3: how many people got their money back from Bernie Madoff? 429 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: None? 430 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: Right? 431 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: Or or or from what was the young kid who 432 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: just did it again? Oh freed, yeah, yeah, bankment freed 433 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: or I mean, it's just it's it's never ending. It's 434 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: just one experience after the challenging ones. I think though, 435 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: the scary ones that I think, you know, the modern 436 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think more and more people are starting, 437 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: especially with people like you going out there and explaining 438 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: this in detail. But you're starting to realize that those 439 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: catastrophic events of the twentieth century were relative to this procedure. Right, 440 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: we're relative to this. 441 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 2: Oh, they weren't relative. They're the direct result. 442 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: Of the direct result. Sorry, yeah, sorry, absolutely. 443 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 444 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 3: So when you look back through history to where does 445 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: this start a thousand years ago? Well, maybe about seven 446 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 3: hundred years ago in Venice. Starts in Venice with the 447 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 3: bankers in Venice who invented modern banking. 448 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, no, it's not the Jews. 449 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing the whole it's the Jews. 450 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: It seems like such a sloppy argument nowadays, it's. 451 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 3: It's but I mean, they got their people and they're 452 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 3: doing their thing, and I get it, so's everybody else. 453 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 3: But to think that, you know, purely European peoples haven't 454 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 3: been strewing one another over in absolutely ludicrous, least clever 455 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: ways for thousands of years before we ever even heard 456 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 3: of a thing called the Jew is like stupid as hell. Yeah, right, absolutely, 457 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 3: the codification of these things go back earlier, right, because 458 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 3: you can hear about it in Egyptian histories and Sumerian 459 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 3: histories and Babylonian histories, and in you know, the you 460 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 3: know who did I think the Jesus guy threw over 461 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: the tables of the money changers and the temple and 462 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 3: all that stuff. 463 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 2: Yep. So this stuff goes back way further. 464 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 3: But when it comes to Europe, and Europe specifically in 465 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 3: the post Roman Empire time, it really this never ending 466 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 3: constant cycle of you know, seven step process really took 467 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: off in the thirteenth century in Venice and then it's 468 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: just gone from there to Amsterdam, from Amsterdam to London, 469 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: from London to Wall Street. They tried to take it 470 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: to China next China said no, you were not doing this, 471 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: and so what's the next step? 472 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: Right? Where do they go from here? 473 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: Can you can you drill down on the jump from 474 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: Venice to Amsterdam, because I you know what you think 475 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: about I mean, obviously, every time you hear about the 476 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: Venetian power, right, you think about the meta cheese, You 477 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,719 Speaker 1: think about those people that were able to consolidate post 478 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: Roman collapse and in power into through the shipping industries. 479 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: But from Venice to Amsterdam seems like a weird jump 480 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: can you can you explain that a little bit to 481 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: people like I. At first, like when I was reading, 482 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, that that's weird. But when you 483 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: started getting into the East India Trading Company, so I 484 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: was like, oh that makes sense now. 485 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 486 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 3: So one, they're both swamps. So you know, they keep 487 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 3: talking about draining the swamp in d C. I mean 488 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 3: it's the same people. It's like, wow, maybe there is 489 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: something to the actual swamp and it goes back way 490 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: before the fact that the DC itself was an actual 491 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 3: literal swamp, right, Like you know, so was Amsterdam and 492 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 3: it was a marsh swamp and so it was Venice 493 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: and you know, anyways, that's. 494 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: Fascinating that I never even thought about it, like that 495 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: these are swamp creatures. 496 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, not aliens. You know, they're not lizard people, 497 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 3: et cetera. There's swamp creatures. 498 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: But their tongues and their Yeah, no disrespect to my 499 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: swamp friends, my Cajun swamp friends now in Louisiana. Yeah, 500 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: that's right. 501 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 2: You all are different, all different breed. Yeah, they are. 502 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: First but first platoon, uh lieutenant, my my AOI see, 503 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: my first platoon was from bad Rouge and just different 504 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: cut man, just a different cut. 505 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: Those Cajun's are different folk. 506 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: Yeah they are. 507 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 2: Did you ever see that movie Southern Comfort when. 508 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: You're oh with Carrodine and his brother and then Booth 509 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: what's the name? God? 510 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 3: I love that movie. 511 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: That's cool. 512 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 513 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 3: Uh so, you know, okay, so the Venetians build up 514 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 3: a sea empire, right, a minor sea empire. But what 515 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 3: really made the Venetians successful, uh was that initially they 516 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: had Byzantium there as the shield right on on their 517 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 3: eastern flank. And what really made him successful is they 518 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 3: innovated financially and you know, promisory notes, bills of lading, factoring, 519 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 3: you know. So they were doing very clever financial things, 520 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 3: probably borrowing from the concepts and ideas of the Templars, 521 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 3: which is maybe where some of the you know, co mingling. 522 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 2: Those ideas because they all had to go through that 523 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,719 Speaker 2: area to go fight in the Holy Land, which I 524 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 2: wonder sometimes how fucking holy it is. Excuse my language, 525 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: we'll do that just fine over. 526 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 3: But the point is that that the Venetians, because of 527 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 3: the conflicts that were in the area and where they 528 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 3: were and the type of business they were doing, they 529 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 3: innovated financially. That allowed them to be very, very successful 530 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: as a you know, a I don't want to say minor, 531 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 3: but you know, at the time kind of a minor 532 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 3: sea power. Historically, they weren't a minor power that would 533 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 3: you know, their reach and everything else. It was pretty 534 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 3: substantial when the Ottomans took over. When the Ottomans you know, 535 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 3: finally breached Constantinople and began to take in, you know, 536 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 3: uh lock in control of the Ionian sea, et cetera, 537 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 3: the Venetian Empire, the Venetians were starting to spend way 538 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 3: too much money, uh just on safety, security, you know, bribes, everything. 539 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 3: It was just it was just too costly for them, 540 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 3: and the Venetian Empire started to decline. Well, shipping powers, 541 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 3: you know, the big ships, the first galleon like ships 542 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 3: weren't in Venice. They were in Holland and Portugal and Spain, 543 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 3: you know, then the other side of the Mediterranean and 544 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: then up et cetera. Well, the place that welcomed them, 545 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 3: that was a natural fit for them, just geographically, you know, 546 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 3: just everything they'd known for centuries was was Amsterdam. It 547 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 3: was Holland Amsterdam, and Holland was also very business oriented, right, 548 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 3: very commercial oriented. 549 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: It was mercantilist. It was already mercantilist. 550 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 3: It was a natural fit, and it already had fairly 551 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 3: good bankers. But the Venetians brought a whole lot more 552 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 3: sophistication with them, and they helped charter the the Dutch 553 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 3: East India Company and finance and bank roll it and 554 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,240 Speaker 3: greatly improve upon the success of the dust Eats India companies, 555 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 3: such that within a few years it surpassed the British 556 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 3: East India Company in success and capabilities. 557 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 2: And primarily they did that. We're able to do. 558 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 3: That now as Dutch bankers, not Venetian bankers anymore, but 559 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 3: Dutch bankers. Well, in their intervening time, the Venetian bankers 560 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 3: had figured out this kill chain and had been using 561 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 3: it in eastern you know, the eastern parts of the 562 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 3: Mediterranean and in some of the principalities you know, in 563 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 3: continental Europe. So they'd already been embedding that kill chain 564 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 3: in parts of Nor Than Africa, the Levant and elsewhere. 565 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 2: So they get to. 566 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 3: Amsterdam in the sixteenth century and they start spreading it 567 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 3: now back down across the continent. The other way. There 568 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 3: was one one state, one group of states and islands 569 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 3: though that said yeah no, and that was the British Isles, right. 570 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying this incredible conversation with Ian Berlin 571 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: Game and I, but we have to pay tribute to 572 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: our sponsors and the one that just really makes me 573 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: so happy to be part of and is really a 574 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: derivative of my friendship with Alex and how much I 575 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: really appreciate and love his family and in his company, 576 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: Firecracker Farms.

The Henry the Eighth began that Elizabeth continued. 590 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 3: The Dutch went to war with the Spanish, with the 591 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 3: have Spurks for what thirty years. 592 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 2: I think. 593 00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 3: The Dutch bankrolled and backed the thirty years, eighty years 594 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 3: and one hundred years wars on the continent. So what 595 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 3: happens in the sixteen hundreds is by the sixteen hundreds, 596 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 3: everything's so hot on the continent. 597 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: There's wars everywhere. 598 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 3: They convened the Peace of Westphilure, which is two treaties 599 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 3: in brook and Munsters sixteen forty five sixteen forty nine, 600 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 3: and they for all intents and purposes, ended feudalism and 601 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 3: the rule of princes which had been resisting them, and 602 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 3: instantiated the killed chain into everything in every state in Europe. 603 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 3: The ones that disagreed were the eastern East of Poland 604 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 3: and a few others, and they went to war with. 605 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 2: Them for for a century. 606 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 3: It was getting too hot on the you know, because 607 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: Holland's not very or the Netherlands isn't very defensible, and 608 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 3: so they needed to again, just like from Venice a 609 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 3: century or so before, they needed to rebase. Well, there 610 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 3: was these British Isles over there, and there were disloyal 611 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 3: nobles in the British Isles, and they had bought parliamentarians, 612 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 3: you know, the stead one influence, right, and they had 613 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 3: been working with the Catholic Church, even though they're supposed 614 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 3: supposedly enemies, but they'd been working with the Catholic Church. 615 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 3: They had a beef with the English because of Henry 616 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 3: the eighth who had kicked him out, and Henry eight 617 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 3: had kicked him out for this very reason. Henry the 618 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 3: Eighth's ending Catholicism the British Isles had nothing to do 619 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 3: with marriage. 620 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 2: That was ostensibly the argument. 621 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 3: It was to try and prevent this banking kill chain 622 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 3: from being embedded in the British. 623 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 2: Isles, in the British Kingdoms. 624 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, had there not been unseasonable storms actually uh won 625 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 3: and forgive me, I forgot the year sixteen forty something 626 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 3: or sixteen twenty, sixteen thirty somewhere it went. But the 627 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 3: nobles did were rallying, trying to rally to his Majesty 628 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 3: King Charles the first to throw off the parliamentarians who 629 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 3: had been bought off. And you know, so this whole 630 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 3: hostile corporate takeover by the dustchyst India Company of the 631 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 3: British East India Company, which was culminated many years later. 632 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 3: But there were unseasonable reigns when the Civil War, the 633 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 3: English Civil War actually backed out kicked off the English 634 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 3: Civil War backed by the Dutch and the Dutch bankers 635 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 3: and all of that, who were looking to move take 636 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 3: the islands and then move their headquarters to London because 637 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 3: it was safer, more secure, okay, And an empire was 638 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 3: starting to build up under the English, and the English 639 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 3: had the manpower, and it had the ships, and it 640 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 3: had it was a defense will read out to et cetera. 641 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: Et cetera. It was a ripe post. 642 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 3: It was a ripe post, and it was you know, unfortunately, 643 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 3: the wars of the Roses did a serious number on 644 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 3: the nobility, and you know, and the war the Roses 645 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 3: went on for quite some time. And then Henry, his 646 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 3: Majesty King Henry the eighth and her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 647 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 3: the Second are the first and Queen Mary in between. 648 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 3: We're all batshit insane, I mean literally certifiably insane. And 649 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 3: so they had done a number on you know, the people, 650 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 3: and then the breaking of from Catholicism, and which was 651 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 3: done again to try and actually prevent this kill chain 652 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 3: from being embedded through the vector of the church, right 653 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 3: the Catholic Church. Unfortunately there's these these unseasonable reigns. The 654 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 3: nobles couldn't ge it to London, so the king had 655 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 3: to flee, you know, and then that the whole civil 656 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 3: war kicked off. Cromwell comes along later and the round heads, 657 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 3: and he thinks he's fighting, you know, the kings and 658 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 3: for parliamentarians and Puritans, et cetera. At a certain point 659 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 3: Cromwell realizes, holy cow, we're under invasion by the Dutch 660 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 3: and this is actually an attempt by a foreign power 661 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 3: to you know, embed you know, to take over our 662 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 3: nation and country. So Cromwell fought them for you know, 663 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 3: till the day he died. His son was supposed to 664 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 3: replace him. Unfortunately his son wasn't wasn't the man. And 665 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 3: down underneath the English civilization we're monarchical people. We can 666 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,919 Speaker 3: say we don't like it, we don't believe in, et cetera, 667 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 3: but we elect a monarch every four years. 668 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 2: So we can say, down with the king. 669 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 3: It's like just voted for a king. 670 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that that's about as poignant as anything I've 671 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: heard in the last. 672 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 3: Eight And not only the king, but you know who 673 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 3: are these other you know, senators and congress. You just 674 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 3: voted for your duke and your baron and your you know, 675 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 3: it's like your governor's like your duke. It's like, come 676 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 3: on right down with princes. You vote for princes every 677 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 3: two or four years. Shut the hell anyways. Point is, 678 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 3: and once Cromwell's gone, there is no no cohesion. There 679 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 3: were six major lords, British lords, well it wouldn't be 680 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 3: called British till later, but you know English lords. 681 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 2: Who betrayed the crown. 682 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 3: Betrayed the English because they wanted to change the power structure. 683 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 3: And in sixteen eighty eight, William of Orange is brought 684 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 3: over married to his Stuart daughter, and they take the 685 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 3: crown back with an army directly funded by the Dutch 686 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 3: East India Company and the bankers, and then they take over. 687 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 3: They with their parliamentarians everybody they've been buying off. The 688 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 3: industrialists were all for it because the industriosts were building 689 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 3: up on the Thames River there, et cetera, and they 690 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 3: didn't want to be beholden to the king. They wanted to, 691 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 3: you know, they they wanted the nobles labor to work 692 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 3: their factories. So they had to end nobility. They had 693 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 3: to end aristocracy, They had to end any power. And 694 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,919 Speaker 3: when William came over, since sixteen eighty eight, no king 695 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,280 Speaker 3: that sat on the English throne has had any power. 696 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: That was it. 697 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 2: That was the done. 698 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: Because fumalism was over. Lands were no longer as relevant 699 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:48,959 Speaker 1: as they were those twos. 700 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 2: They were worth okay, so great. 701 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 3: With the bankers in this financialist kill chain, in this 702 00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 3: creation of artificial wealth, the financialists backed parliamentarians, merchants, industrialists 703 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 3: were able to generate vast fortunes, artificial wealth fortunes, and 704 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 3: the nobility couldn't keep up because everything the nobility had 705 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 3: to do was based They had to be based in 706 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:25,919 Speaker 3: reality crops and lands and peoples and all of these 707 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 3: complex spaces that the nobility had to maintain. They couldn't 708 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 3: keep up with this artificial currency, financial manipulation derivatives game. 709 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 3: And I wrote another article I published yesterday about how 710 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 3: the Venetians become the Dutch become then the. 711 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 2: Bank of England have for. 712 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 3: Seven hundred, eight hundred years intentionally, directly, substantively worked to 713 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 3: remove hereditary print is everywhere, always, and to turn the 714 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 3: people against the princes, because the only places where this 715 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,359 Speaker 3: kill chain didn't work until it did it was those 716 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 3: places where there was a strong prince, prince, king, duke, barring, 717 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 3: et cetera. 718 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 2: But there was a. 719 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: Strong centralized leader, an individual centralized leadership. That that power 720 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: is rooted, and it's it's its historical legacy, right. 721 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 3: It's correct, correct, correct, and it and it met its 722 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 3: obligations to its people, and because of that, it had 723 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,720 Speaker 3: the loyalty of its people. 724 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 2: What do we call any one of these people now? Today? 725 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 2: We call them a dictator? Right, a tyrant? Well, who's telling. 726 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 3: Us that, right, the very people that have been steadily 727 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 3: working to remove princes as because the princes are the 728 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 3: only obstacle to the kill chain, and because they want 729 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 3: all the assets of the prince that's collateral and they 730 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 3: want the commons that it's the thing that's been destroyed 731 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 3: the worst. And Peter Buffett actually Warren Sun sent me 732 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 3: an article one day, or he actually gave me an 733 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 3: article one day from the New York Post, I think 734 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 3: from many years ago. 735 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 2: Twenty thirteen I think, but it was about the theft 736 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 2: of the commons. 737 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 738 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 2: Right, So that's that's. 739 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's almost like the theft of the middle class, 740 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: the offshoring of the middle class. Right, it's exactly what 741 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: it is, exactly the same thing. 742 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:35,760 Speaker 3: Yes, okay, yeah, the commons today, primarily the commons today 743 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 3: is retirement savings. Okay, right, it's the financial commons, and 744 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 3: they've stolen it two thousand and eight, stole it two 745 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 3: thousand and one. 746 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 2: They're working on doing it again, yep. 747 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 3: Right, So in the modern era, the commons are people 748 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 3: shared retirement funds that are invested in the companies and 749 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 3: assets of the country nation. 750 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 1: Mm hm. 751 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 3: That's the commons. We all share it common, you know, 752 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 3: in common. We share these things. It's important, you know, 753 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 3: what is the product of our labor, you know, our 754 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 3: collective labor. It's our financial assets and our retirement funds. 755 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,720 Speaker 3: It's our you know, collateral in our homes, et cetera. 756 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 3: We all share that in these complex ways, and this 757 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 3: these financialists have been steadily stealing that throughout the last 758 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 3: seven eight hundred years. 759 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: That was the thing that really it was remarkable to me, 760 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: I mean, my whole childhood, and you know, and I 761 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: had some pretty good teachers growing up in the schools 762 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: I went to, and it was the whole idea of 763 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 1: the British Empire, and the sun never set on the 764 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: British Empire, and they were able to take this through 765 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, that merchantile mindset and spread it worldwide. Right, 766 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: So you you figure, oh my god, they've they've got 767 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: this host, they expand it, they've grown it, They've reduced 768 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: the monarchy, if you will, down to where it's parliamentary 769 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 1: and control, and then they spread it through merchantilism. But 770 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 1: then what how come that, like go back to the 771 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,720 Speaker 1: place that moment in particular as it relates to England 772 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: and Britain. Eventually, how does that collapse? Then? How does 773 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: the how does over extending yourself get to the point 774 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 1: for the collapse? 775 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 2: Right? 776 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 1: I think it's easy to understand with the Venetians and 777 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: the Dutch, because you know, as power grew with the 778 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: Ottomans and that region, they couldn't defend themselves against the 779 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: mass of that army or or or you know, the 780 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 1: Dutch weren't I've never really been known as this warring 781 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 1: people or tribe, right, like somebody, Well, the early Dutch, right, 782 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: the Viking Dutch right. 783 00:48:59,200 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. 784 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 3: The Dutch East Indies Company and the Dutch under the 785 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 3: Dutch East Indies Company were in. 786 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 2: Thirty year War. No, the Dutch were a very warlike 787 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 2: people all over the world. Look at you. 788 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: They actually provided the soldiers for the sailors. 789 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 3: The Dutch that physically sent the armies to conquer the British. 790 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,839 Speaker 1: Got it, got okay, all right. So with Britain now 791 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: them taking over Britain and they're expanding it, growing the empire, 792 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 1: how does Britain get to that point? I mean, obviously everybody, 793 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: not everybody, but some people recognize how overleveraged they got 794 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,359 Speaker 1: in World War One and then ultimately, I mean, World 795 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: War Two is just catastrophics. 796 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so great question. 797 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: Sorry, it's kind of rambling. I just so much and trying. 798 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 3: Very important because this is where the US is right now, 799 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 3: where they're trying to get it right. Go back in 800 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 3: memory or I don't know many people been to Europe, 801 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 3: et cetera. 802 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 2: But I've been all over Europe.

Well, 833 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 3: they certainly didn't go to England or Britain because it's 834 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 3: a forget my language, but a shithold too. 835 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 2: So where to go? Well, Europe looks pretty nice, Europe's 836 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,879 Speaker 2: pretty beautiful. They don't. 837 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 3: It's a damn thing. They haven't produced anything in eighty years. Wow, 838 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 3: they don't create anything. They don't produce anything. You know, 839 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 3: there's some German industry, et cetera. But as a continent 840 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 3: and a you know, as a you know, seven hundred 841 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 3: million people proportionally, they they produced nothing. So how do 842 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 3: they look so good? How are they living so well? 843 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 3: How did they have these two hundred feet foot fricking yachts? 844 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,919 Speaker 2: Right right? 845 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 3: They haven't had empires and forever, and their empires were 846 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 3: never much anyways, not compared to the British. So where 847 00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,360 Speaker 3: did the where did the wealth of the last century 848 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,360 Speaker 3: the United States go, where did the wealth of the 849 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:09,840 Speaker 3: British Empire for the last three centuries plus go? Europe 850 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 3: looks pretty nice, and it looks pretty nice for the 851 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 3: third time in the last two hundred plus years, because 852 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 3: it was rebuilt under the Napoleonic era, rebuilt after World 853 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 3: War One, it was rebuilt again after World War Two. 854 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: This just hit a whole nother court. I don't know 855 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: if you watched Tucker Carlson, but he just had a 856 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: woman on, Catherine Fritz, who used to be in the government, 857 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: in the Bush Senior government, and she ran kind of 858 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,879 Speaker 1: the hud and she's got this great news site called 859 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: Solari and they do these very intense analysis of the 860 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: economic mismanagement or redirection of economies. And she actually had 861 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: this really fascinating seq segment of it where she was saying, 862 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 1: you know when you know, and she went back to 863 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:07,959 Speaker 1: that famous you know, September tenth, two thousand and one 864 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 1: where Rumsfeld comes out and says, yeah, we were unaccounted 865 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 1: for two point seven trillion dollars. And what she was 866 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: hinting at her saying is that underneath all these structures, right, 867 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 1: I guess those structures of the seven the steps that 868 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,840 Speaker 1: you were talking about, they're funneling money out of the 869 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 1: commoners into these other areas and other places through these 870 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,359 Speaker 1: different types of systems. So for me, like, as you're 871 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: saying this, I'm like, whoa, here's a person that was 872 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,359 Speaker 1: in and she actually was attacked for nine years, had 873 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 1: to defend herself against the DJ. They tried to destroy her. 874 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: She was an investment banker and all this, and they 875 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 1: tried to completely destroy her. And it's like because she 876 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 1: was exposing this these hidden secrets of where the money 877 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: is going and funneling to. And so that kind of 878 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 1: brings us up to the modern era post World War 879 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,840 Speaker 1: Two after the British host was destroyed and it coming 880 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: over to New York and can you just talk, you 881 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: know a little bit about that and what you're seeing 882 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: up until where we're at today and how that worked. 883 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 1: All right?
