David DuByne discusses the momentous civilizational changes that are happening on the planet and how we are entering a new historical cycle. The cost of living is reaching an untenable point as food production is intentionally being sabotaged to get us on a centralized system. As the middle class is wiped out many will be forced to migrate from rural and suburban areas to urban smart cities. He comments on the climate shifts and how perhaps there is missing history that would explain our cycles and why we're ending up in feudalism again. He gives his thoughts on the specter of war, BRICS, strategic relocation, geoengineering, and more!

Former medical coder Zowe Smith discusses what she witnessed during COVID1984. Through her work she came to realize that the government-mandated hospital protocols were killing people en masse. COVID1984 was a multi-pronged democidal eugenics operation. Its roots go back over a century to elite eugenicist families and financiers. Vaccine passports were part of the attempt to create a social credit system. PCR tests were being sent for DNA sequencing. The purpose of the shots was multifaceted. She's concerned with the PREP Act and future so-called "pandemics" to be used as pretext to impose the WHO treaty. Going forward, the parallel economy will be important.

About Zowe Smith
Zowe worked in the medical coding industry for over a decade, holding titles such as supervisor, auditor, educator, and trainer during that time. Her laboratory expertise during college proved invaluable for investigating Covid-19 PCR testing fraud. Zowe was forced to quit her medical coding career when she refused to take the Covid-19 vaccine. Financial incentives to vaccinate staff were clear.

The shred of faith she had in western medicine was shattered after witnessing over a year of medically assisted murder and being exposed to so many vaccine injury cases. There was no returning to her previous career in zoology and wildlife conservation. Nor could she return to college for an additional degree over the same vaccine mandates. College degree rendered worthless and virtually unemployable, it seemed there was nowhere to turn. That is when Zowe began to use her skills to expose Covid-19 fraud and the vaccine injuries cover-up, as only a medical coder (medical records analyst) can.

Zowe is most notable for her appearance in the Children’s Health Defense movie, VAXXED 3 Authorized to Kill. She has also appeared on The Alex Jones Show, Vigilant Fox News, Rebunked.News, The Unjected Show, AM Wake Up, America Outloud Pulse, The New Prisoner’s and Live With Your Brain Turned On. Her work has been featured on The Last American Vagabond, Unjected, and Liberty Uncensored Newspaper, and look for a chapter in Dr Peter and Ginger Breggin’s soon upcoming global predators book.

Jeremy Cordon of Goldback Inc discusses the economy and how gold is an excellent way to preserve purchasing power. Some argue that you want to use precious metals to come out the other side of the financial transition. He's created a cash-like form of gold known as the Goldback whose purpose is to get people to spend and circulate gold as money. He's been surprised that 50% of small business owners he approaches in the U.S. agree to use Goldbacks. In some places, Goldbacks have been more popular than bitcoin. Even using cash still means participating in the system, and so using things like Goldbacks can be an effective strategy to promote sovereignty and sound money.

Kit Knightly of Off Guardian discusses the state of the world and how the big picture endgame is some type of world state. He believes popular resistance to their plans have set them back considerably and we are now in a sort of stalemate. He comments on how different cultures and geographies view the globalist beast in a different light, BRICS and "multipolarity", how the decline of America will be used to sell technocracy, the biosecurity state, the Algorithm Ghetto, the coming Climate Lockdowns, the Not-War and how its consequences forward the Great Reset agenda, and more!

Retired wealth manager Clive Thompson discusses the state of the economy, how the post-Bretton Woods monetary system is drawing towards the end-game, BRICS, and how the reset will most likely bring in CBDCs which is another form of ration coupon. In the early stages of this new system life may be relatively free, but he fears that down the line we'll get end up in a dystopian society. He explains what could happen to the old debt and old currency and what stores of wealth would be wise to have as we go through the transition.

About Clive Thompson
I have an un-blemished career of 47 years in the Wealth Management business.

I started my career in 1975 at the age of 18 in the UK. I worked as a Trust officer for the leading Cayman Islands Trust Company for several years before accepting a similar title in Switzerland in 1985. In 1995 I joined Coutts & Co in Switzerland as a Private Banker.

In 2015 the Wealth Management business of Coutts & Co in Switzerland was bought by Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA, one of the four leading private banks in Switzerland.

I continued to work as a Managing Director in the Wealth Management division of UBP until I retired in 2022.

I am an active investor in all major asset classes, especially global equities. On a daily basis I am trawling through company balance sheets, reports and recommendations, and using several financial tools to help me identify and invest in quoted companies offering attractive risk and reward features. True gems are difficult to find, but if you look long and hard enough, eventually you will find them. I could quote countless examples of "Gems" I have found over the last 48 years. As an example I get very excited when I find companies with a profitable business, no debt, and holding more cash on their balance sheet than their market cap (Yes that's for real). There are plenty of interesting asset plays - situations where valuable corporate assets are not yet recognised by the market. Every year brings some kind of crisis. Some sector of the stock market will be heavily out of favour. I often find bargains in the least loved part of the market.

In addition to equities I invest in Private Equity, Precious Metals, Crypto-currencies, Property, Art, and I am open to all kinds of tangible assets.

Of course, I have cash and bonds, but frankly the interest rates don't do justice to the rate of fiat inflation. The post-Bretton Woods monetary system is drawing towards the end-game. The levels of government indebtedness continues to increase faster than GDP. This won't continue forever. Sooner or later something will break. When that happens, fiat-denominated assets, like cash and bonds, are likely to be the biggest losers. I don't want to be one of the bag-holders, hence my preference to hold more tangible assets.

Despite being retired, I am in daily discussions with wealthy, and not so wealthy, individuals on topics encompassing residency, taxes, family structures, risk and compliance and of course wealth management and investing.

Etienne de la Boetie² of the Art of Liberty Foundation, Anton Bueckert of Nevermore Media, and Paul Cudenec of Winter Oak discuss the potential overlap of anarchism and voluntaryism as forms of resistance against the criminocratic, oligarchic, and kleptocratic globalist tyranny we all now face! A broad and grassroots populism needs to form, Etienne believes we're in the middle of a one-way revolution which might be going supernova.

Businessman and United Australia Party advisor Michael Arbon discusses the state of Australia which is currently attempting to centralize a lot of power through Digital ID, CBDCs, misinformation, and other legislation. The culture war (e.g. gender ideology) is alive and well and he believes people are starting to see through the lies and propaganda. He ponders what drives the liberal globalist apparatchiks and career politicians in Australia passing all this tyrannical legislation. The Australian housing market is a giant Ponzi scheme. We live in a nanny state, but Michael believes that not all is lost!

Jeff Rich discusses the global conflicts underway and why he thinks this time America will not come out on top as the rest of the world forces change. The West will fight to the death to prevent their decline. Aggressive NATO expansion into Asia can be interpreted as weakness because Washington no longer can sustain its power projection. He comments on the economic transition and the deep state or what he prefers to call the shallow state. As a retired bureaucrat, given his experience, he doubts the success with which the government will be able to implement technocratic projects such as smart cities. We can find more meaningful ways to live our lives by focusing on our own localities. He looks forward to a coming reformulation of the world order.

Tim Hinchliffe discusses media, fake news (e.g. The People's Voice, Slay News), and being singled out by and drawing the ire of the World Economic Forum (WEF). He breaks down some of the takeaways from the UN Summit of the Dystopian Future, Queen Maxima Tyrannia's "Digital Proletariat Infrastructure," and how their goal is to have the entire world population electrified, connected to the internet, and in possession of a smartphone. Being Amish is not allowed and in fact Amish are being targeted. The Algorithm Ghetto is all-inclusive, no one can be excluded! We get a little metaphysical and "cyberdelic" toward the end!

Retired Australian Army Officer Cameron Leckie discusses becoming disillusioned with the military-industrial-complex and his working assumption that we are headed for major war(s) which could be regional or global (e.g. WWIII). War is being driven by the Collective West. He talks AUKUS, Australian foreign policy, how Washington plans to use Canberra as cannon fodder for war against China, and what the consequences would be for Australia. He comments on the timeline for war, NATO, drone warfare, the Middle East, American exceptionalism, and BRICS.

Ned Ryun discusses his new book American Leviathan on the progressive, statist, utopian, and administrative state whose ultimate end is authoritarianism. It is a miracle that we have made it this far into the managerial state without a total collapse of freedom. Nothing else matters until the deep state is dismantled, everything else is pointless. We must disrupt and not submit to the managerial state, we must restore the republic, there still is hope.

Scott Armstrong of Rebunked News, Unjected, and Rebunked Records discusses going down the rabbit hole and how he got into independent media. We talk censorship, the eugenics that went on over the past couple of years, the fear economy, and his new record "Universal Basic Awesome". His music is all about realizing that despite all the bad things that are happening, there are things you can do about it, and life is still pretty amazing! Rock 'n roll completely lost the plot and capitulated to The Man. He comments on our move toward war, how the New World Order is coming along, and what he's doing to prepare.

Shanmuganathan Nagasundaram discusses his fantastic new book RIP USD, the history of money, the coming collapse of the dollar, and the end of the world as we know it. We are getting close to the moment of truth and the bursting of multiple financial bubbles. He gives his thoughts on the geopolitical ramifications (e.g. war), the petrodollar and petroyuan, BRICS, Bitcoin, CBDCs, and why he thinks that ultimately everyone will revert back to gold. He shares his potential future gold price estimate and how people can best protect themselves.

Kate Mason discusses the global agenda of placing populations into dystopian ghettos via Digital Identity, Smart or "Resilient Cities," and other such legislation. This includes the straight up attack on private home ownership, assault on food, and the "well-being" and "social impact" agendas. A lot of their plans will be coalescing very soon. Everything is being commoditized for total control. They have a focus on the youth. They can likely get away with another lockdown, but they will likely take more of an approach using targeted surveillance and lockdowns. This is going to be a wild ride.

Paul F. Austin discusses the history of psychedelics and how we are now on the "third wave" of integral psychedelic use. The third wave coincides with the information age and perfectly maps on to what futurists like Alvin Toffler were forecasting. He delves into the history touching on key figures such as Stewart Brand, Ken Kesey and MKULTRA, Steve Jobs, James Fadiman, and how in the 1970s it was declared that the personal computer was the new LSD. Psychedelics provide you with a feeling of interconnectivity. Microdosing came around about a decade ago and have various health benefits. Finally, he comments on the legalization of psychedelics and the spiritual dimension.

Dr. Tara McCormack discusses international politics and how she believes America remains the hegemonic power with it's control becoming ever more direct and overt, especially militarily. We are entering a more multipolar world, for which Syria was a watershed moment, but it will take some time. She comments on what it's like going against the narrative in academia and how many peers have "learned to stop worrying and love NATO".  Post-WWII the two tracks of American hegemony were the EEC (EU) and NATO. The media is so tightly controlled preventing discussion of the true architecture of globalist power. The Western political class feel most at home in Davos and seek to remove voters from decision-making. Western elites are pushing us toward WW3.

Mathew Crawford discusses psychological mindwar and the British Empire's long-game at controlling the world. India, cults, and theosophy play important roles in London's global machinations. The networked international hierarchy of the globalists is compartmentalized and at times can seem contradictory as well as have real rivalries. He's looked at Kamala Harris' deep history and uncovered some remarkable connections. Their method of warfare can also be classified as induced schizophrenia and the culture of altered states they push should be considered as minor forms of schizophrenia.

Bob Moriarty discusses the possibility of China taking Taiwan very soon. Numerous developments around the world, including in the United States, are telling. Beijing has been acting more belligerent than usual. Any such move would be coordinated with Russia, Iran, and potentially North Korea. The West is collapsing and the question is who is it going to take with it on the way down. The deep state is going more totalitarian because it is losing as theories such as the fourth turning forecast, but there will also be a counter-movement back to freedom.

Andrei Martyanov discusses his new book titled "America's Final War". The intellectual class in the West is rapidly degenerating, the economy is collapsing, and Europe is finished as it has gone full 1984. He explains the military edge that Russia has over the United States and NATO and believes Russia won the technological arms race. He touches on Prigozhin, Ukraine's F-16s, Westerners fighting for Kiev, Kursk, the future international architecture, where the war is headed, and why this is America's final war. He does not believe Skynet will become self-aware!

Warwick Powell discusses the East versus West conflict which is largely a symptom of the underlying economic transformations underway. There is a massive disconnect between the economy of exchange value and use value in the West which has led to a hollowing out of the economy resulting in political crises. The Global North feel their "distributional setup" is under threat and so the only way to stem the tide is to impose a set of militarily enforceable arrangements to deny the Global South the ability to become capable of creating value. Russia and China are better at harnessing AI, particularly to drive production efficiencies. He comments on currency multipolarity, dedollarization, Digital Westphalia, and describes the suspension of liberties in the West as an autoimmune response. Regarding the Algorithm Ghetto, there is slippage meaning it can't be implemented perfectly and technology inevitably brings with it possibilities of all sorts of resistance. The West is going to step up its Color Revolution-style regime change operations. Multipolarity is about the reassertion of sovereignty and an increased interoperability of states. The world is tired of Western hegemony and now has the courage and means to confront it. The challenge will be to avoid kinetic conflict.

Rico Brouwer joins us again from the Netherlands to discuss his relentless activism and how he feels the world is headed in a mad direction. He comments on the alternative media space, particularly in the Netherlands, and the censorship, narcissism, and financial difficulty in the industry. Tyranny is descending upon the West, but he also sees hope because the news of this totalitarianism is spreading quickly thanks to the internet. He comments on the idea of strategic relocation and his venture to Paraguay. Europe and the EU is a jurisdiction you want to move out of. They will take us to war. He remains hopeful and focuses on changing the world for the better.

Mike Donio discusses his cancellation from the pharmaceutical and biotech industry and how COVID1984 in many ways was a test and opening salvo for something much worse ahead. Big Pharma and biotech are investing massively in genomic technologies which historically is eugenics-based and currently influenced by transhumanist ideology. We are trending toward darker times, but there is hope! Do not be subject to the fear that is thrown at us, rather learn to be still in the storm so you can make correct decisions.

Nikola Mikovic discusses what he considers to be Putin's "Emperor Has No Clothes" moment in Kursk. Russia continues demonstrating its weakness on a daily basis and it's becoming hard to hide it. At the moment, he doesn't see any threat of escalation toward WWIII. He touches on the DragonBear relationship, Central Asian geopolitics, what's happening in Serbia with the lithium, and how in China living without smart phones, QR codes and mobile apps, is almost inconceivable.

David Skripac returns to discusses the road toward global digital neofeudalism. He provides some historical context of empire and believes economics is key for the ruling classes. He has not seen Putin really doing anything different from his Western counterparts, he's been rolling out the same digital biosecurity state. He doesn't feel that we really have a multipolar world order, it's still the same unipolar system. Russia's SMO in Ukraine has been a Potemkin effort, the conflict is being stage managed. He must continue to learn, pay attention, spread the word, resist, not comply, and stay sane!

David Haggith discusses the state of the economy, inflation, the Fed, and the stealth recession that is already underway. He agrees that the outcome is neo-feudalism and the purpose of importing so many illegal aliens is to create a permanent dystopian peasant class. David doesn't believe BRICS will supplant the dollar. Collapse might bring about a new global digital currency. We ponder life in the Algorithm Ghetto and discuss the Armageddon scenario in Israel.

James Burling of the Pacific Legal Foundation discusses his new book "Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America’s Housing Crisis". Government overreach is preventing people from using property in the way they would like to use it and limiting the supply of housing through all manner of restrictions (e.g. zoning, environment). He comments on this idea of resilient or smart cities and he's optimistic in the battle for less government control over housing.

Terry Wolfe discusses the proliferation of gnosticism, the new age, and theosophy in alternative and independent media. It seems that apparently much of the "truth movement" or "trutherism" itself is gnostic, new age, theosophy and is part of the deception which paves the way for and initiates the true new world order that humanity will embrace. The Great Awakening is the theosophical Age of Aquarius. New age and occult ideas such as "Christ Consciousness," quantum spirituality, and one-ism (see Dr. Peter Jones of truthXchange) are seeping into churches and society and this is intentional. The Aquarian Conspiracy is an "open conspiracy" that works through a "network of networks". The goal of the "new or Aquarian age" is to fuse all beliefs into a new inclusive and tolerant universalism meanwhile eliminating any exclusive or "intolerant" faith (e.g. biblical Christianity). Terry lays out his thesis of the coming collapse and Green World Order.

Mees Baaijen discusses his book "The Predators versus The People" which delves into the global mafia or "glafia" who have been ruling planet earth for millennia. Over time, roughly around 500 years ago, capital concentrated to such an extent that this merchant and aristocratic class gained unprecedented powers of colonialization which they are wielding for their global domination project. Modern democracy is based on this hidden oligarchy, all nations have become proxies for their power projection. The world wars were used to break up monarchies and empires. We are living in de facto World Government, not yet de jure.

As a veterinarian and later also entrepreneur, he worked in 7 countries on 4 continents, which allowed him a direct experience with different cultures, political systems, languages, and above all, people. His international background served him well when he decided to dig deep into global history, to write his first book, The Predators (and its six translations).

After 50 years as an atheist, this study convinced him that the Enlightenment was in fact an Endarkenment, to alienate us from Nature and the Universe, from which we derive our power to move mountains.

Riley Waggaman returns to give us an update on the Not-War in Ukraine and the state of things in the Russian Federation. Denazification has not occurred in Ukraine, Kiev has never been more militarized, and NATO has expanded and been galvanized even more all thanks to Putin and the Kremlin. All of Moscow's "red lines" have been crossed, none of this makes any sense. It seems more like oligarchic in-fighting. It's not clear what real alternative BRICS and multipolarity will provide since they will force-inject you and cattle tag you with Digital ID just like in the G20 West!

Parallel Mike discusses his big picture thesis at the moment of what's happening on planet earth. We're phase transitioning through cosmic, debt, and imperial cycles. He believes the EU and a lot of these centralized control systems have to eventually collapse and it's better for people to focus on what's going on around them in their immediate vicinity and be agile and nimble in their mindset and preparations. The elites will attempt to take whatever they can as the system collapses and transitions. He believes there is now greater fuel on the fire for the "second civil war" narrative following the Trump "assassination attempt". Above all, Mike stresses the need to be forward-thinking, solutions-oriented, becoming a ghost in the system, and remaining hopeful.

Francis Hunt discusses the coming economic collapse and reset which will create a neo-feudal system. It's the statists versus the citizens, not nations versus nations. A surveillance finance grid is being set up where you'll be tracked, traced, and punished for social crimes while assets will be tokenized. It's important to have optionality which means internationalizing, moving to another country, and figuring out your best tax structure. The dollar will have a blow-off spike as part of a death knell. There is a floating zeppelin (e.g. BlackRock, Vanguard, Oligarchic Tech, Military-Industrial-Complex) that moves from nation to nation extracting wealth. Despite the grim situation, people can take the bull by the horns and position themselves well for opportunity.

About Francis Hunt
Francis is a trader, first and foremost. Unlike most educators in the trading space, Francis walks the walk and talks the talk, with 30 years of experience in trading his own capital on various markets and instruments. Through this passion for trading and his relentless study of markets, theories and everything related to trading, he derived for his own benefit, the Hunt Volatility Funnel trading methodology, a systemized approach that answers the key question – what is the next most profitable trade?

Because the actual price of an asset is the truest reflection of all the factors that influence it, Francis believes that effective technical analysis – the study of price action over time – is all that is needed to formulate result-driven trade ideas.

Indeed, with all the market manipulation and high-frequency trading operations currently in play, technical analysis is all that can be relied upon when it comes to formulating future price trends. A trained eye can often spot such manipulative practices – as is the case with HVF traders. The HVF methodology is therefore based purely on technical analysis with the fundamental reasons often following to justify a price move rather than pre-emptively explaining it.

Francis is passionate about sharing his knowledge and understanding of markets through the utilization of his HVF trading methodology. With entertaining anecdotes and careful guidance of his students, he has already trained a large community of hundreds of traders, and helped them transform from complete newbies to seasoned trading professionals.

But why teach? Why not keep this method to himself? Francis genuinely loves sharing his knowledge and method with others who are committed to finding freedom through trading. Plus, by teaching,  it strengthens his own trading abilities while building a vibrant community of highly successful HVF traders who share their trade ideas for the benefit of the entire community.

If you see value in these principles and you would like to find out how the HVF Method can aid your trading and investing efforts, we invite you to book a call to get started.

Doctor Allen discusses the global elite and how the "health emergency" was one big global Operation Gladio run by the Pentagon. He discusses his time hanging out with Bill Cooper and later working with bankers who would reveal things from time to time. They are working to bring in a global dystopia (e.g. CBDCs) and social credit system because the financial system is collapsing. Decreasing the population makes the crash more manageable for them. He explains the work he is doing to mitigate the damage done to people who took the medical countermeasures. The hour is late, people need to get prepared.

About Doctor Allen
I am a Doctor of German Functional Medicine, trained in Germany. I worked in Switzerland for a few years and continued on with training in Psychosomatics. I also trained in advanced survival.

As a result I built a sustainable development project in Northern Thailand many years ago called Solutions4Mankind Total Wellness center where there is a fully equipped detoxification program with a juice bar and a mineral hot spring spa. Located at my large organic farm with a farm to table cafe. There is 4 star accommodation with an indoor, non-chlorine swimming pool.

There is also another Solution4Mankind service available which I call: Strategic-Relocation-Services Survival Real Estate & Memberships.

One home and a couple of memberships have been sold. There is a comprehensive detox program available for people who need to remove silver amalgam dental fillings and or root canal and there is a mercury/heavy metal chelation detox protocol. We have been able to support unfortunate people who took the corona shots.

People have experienced a lot of benefits after this comprehensive process although we firmly recommend only people who have taken no more than 3 jabs as eligible for this protocol as the detox reactions may be somewhat challenging.

This is where people who are serious about escaping the large or medium sized cities and need to invest in their long term safety can live a security based lifestyle. All of the aforementioned is situated next door to a 100,000 acre national park with 2 waterfalls.

There is a food bank, large scale water storage with a well to site and industrial purification preprocessing for sustainable bottled drinking water, solar lighting, and back up generator.

For those who are serious about learning how to handle a SHTF situation I teach self defense and weapons. There is a target practice range for those who wish to go to the next level.

John O'Loughlin discusses the life and times of his father Thomas F. O'Loughlin, Jr. who worked in the deep state and rubbed shoulders with General MacArthur, J. Edgar Hoover, and John F. Kennedy. John surmises that his father was taken out by the deep state for attempting to do what was right by acting on Kennedy's orders to reign in the CIA. Thomas O'Loughlin, Jr. was assigned to the office of SACSA which had been created to oversee the CIA. It appears that O'Loughlin, Jr. later began to investigate illegal CIA drug trafficking before rapidly and mysteriously developing an illness that led to his untimely death at the age of 51. John believes the hidden hand of the British is still behind everything and currently they are hellbent on destroying Russia and China. We should not fall for their fear mongering and PSYOPS that puts us into a paralyzed, panicked, and defensive state.

About John O'Loughlin
John’s mission is to expose the criminal takeover of our government which has occurred over his lifetime and that of his father, Thomas F. O’Loughlin, Jr. (1920-1971).

During his first year at The College of William and Mary in Virginia, John’s father suddenly was diagnosed with cancer. The next spring, on June 6, 1971, he died. The story of Tom O’Loughlin’s career in the Navy, the FBI, and finally at the highest Special Operations command at the Pentagon and how John’s suspicions grew into this mission is told in John’s biography of his father, “McDuff Lives!, the Life and Untimely death of Thomas F. O’Loughlin, Jr.,” (2021, Amazon) Available below.

John’s popular YouTube Channel, “McDuff, Kennedy’s Man to Smash the CIA,” was taken down by YouTube in 2021. His work survives on his YouTube back-up channels, “McDuff Lives 2” and “McDuff Lives 3,” where many of his videos are still available. However, John has moved to Rumble for his base of video broadcasting, and his live broadcasts and archive are at “McDiffLives” and “McDuff Archive” channels on Rumble.

Kym Staton discusses his documentary film The Trust Fall: Julian Assange. WikiLeaks' "Collateral Murder" release is what initially woke him up. He documents the abuse and oppression of Assange and through the film seeks to inspire action. He comments on the empire, the secret state, and transnational security elite. He talks about interviewing the late John Pilger and Daniel Ellsberg among others featured in the film. What was done to Assange was meant to intimidate the rest of the world. Technocrats are becoming more powerful as we move toward a transnational dystopia. He opines on the idea of Assange as some sort of psyop and urges people to take action and do something to fight tyranny and injustice, which creates pressure, because too many people are doing nothing.

Fadi Lama discusses his fantastic book "Why the West Can't Win" and the Money Powers that rule the world. He explains how everything in the West is fake and a Virtual Reality (e.g. fake democracy, fake economy, false flag operations). Democracy was created by the Money Powers as the new means of control (e.g. only individuals with money can run for office). He argues that the East has overtaken the West economically and militarily. The world will have a hard split between East and West. The West will collapse into a globalist dystopia (e.g. 15-minute cities).

Bob Moriarty discusses the Black Swans circling above, from Julian Assange being freed and Democratic Party shenanigans to the looming wars on the horizon. Israel is in a difficult situation, it is getting away with genocide and with possibly starting WW3. It may be the first to initiate the use of nuclear weapons which would bring many more parties into the fold. The rest of the world doesn't want to be part of the collapsing Western debt-based system and is jumping on the BRICS train. We're seeing tops in the markets (e.g. Nvidia), he expects things to crash eventually.

Mats Nilsson discusses how his travels around the world led him to reconsider many of the official and false narratives that are typically espoused in the West. He describes his unique way of attempting to persuade commoners as to how politics really works. He is under no illusion regarding oligarchy in Beijing and Moscow, but believes Washington's hegemony is the most dangerous, and he currently supports the coming multipolar world. In the future he might be complaining about Eurasia, it's geopolitics, things change. We are in a pre-1914 scenario where momentum is building for another unnecessary war desired by the elites and no one is attempting to look for an off-ramp. America is getting too old to be able to dominate the globe. He hopes greed will help avoid WW3 because governments could potentially nationalize industry which would distress the BlackRock's of the world. Elites are in danger of overshooting the mark. The Algorithm Ghetto is a real possibility. We must keep speaking truth to power.

Jan Weckström discusses rock and roll and the new anti-war music he is making. He tells of his experiences hanging out with Guns N' Roses and how the industry has changed, especially with AI. His new song "Turn To Dust" is about how politicians today, particularly in the West, are playing with nuclear war just to stay in power. He doesn't think that the West trying to force their "values" down the rest of the world's throats is working anymore. He fears the threat of the social credit system and us becoming digital inmates. European technocrats are more afraid of falling out of favor with Washington than their own people. The EU is increasingly weaker, delusional, and authoritarian. He consumes only alternative news and hopes that enough people will at some point come together in civil obedience to change the status quo.

She delves into the nanoparticle technology that is in the mRNA injections, synthetic biology being utilized for purposes of transhumanism. We have underestimated the enemy, they've outsmarted and outmaneuvered us. We must resist this push to eliminate constitutional rights in the West.

Ralph Schoellhammer discusses how Europe is experiencing great change and political shifts which can be considered a historical moment. Ideas of the past (e.g. cheap money) are now colliding with reality. There is now a move in Europe by the right-wing in Germany, Italy, Hungary, and other countries to steer the European ship away from the proverbial iceberg. He comments on Ukraine, the specter of a Third World War, and the fate of America.

Morgan Lerette discusses his new book on his time as a Blackwater mercenary in Iraq and what a mess war and Private Military Companies (PMCs) are. He talks about laughing in the face of death and how, as bad as Saddam Hussein was, he kept things in check. America starts endless wars with no planned endgame. He tells stories of meeting Erik Prince, John Bolton, and Pat Tillman. He comments on Wagner, how PMCs are being used in Ukraine and Gaza, and the great power conflict. He doesn't believe the U.S. still has any competitor.

About Morgan Lerette
Morgan Lerette was first deployed to Iraq in 2003 to provide security for the first aerial supply route in Iraq at Tallil Air Base, which was the staging point for the Jessica Lynch rescue. He joined Blackwater in 2004 and was sent to Iraq to protect diplomats.

Tony Arterburn discusses the cancerous state of America and how our true enemies are not foreign but domestic. The project for world government is futile, we're moving toward decentralization. The elites likely want to blame the economic collapse on America First. We're probably headed for war. Alternative media is getting weird. In chaos there is opportunity.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts discusses the ever widening war and the insanity of the West which seems to be provoking nuclear armageddon from which we might not recover. America is enabling genocide in Gaza which is destroying its international reputation and on top of that, Israel has been trying to get Washington attack Iran. It's strange that only dissident politicians get assassinated or die under mysterious circumstances (e.g. Raisi, Fico) and it's amazing Viktor Orbán is still alive. Washington is opening another front for Russia in Georgia. The migration agenda is deliberate to create Babel. Trump might end up getting assassinated. If they install the digital control system it will be total tyranny. The middle class is being wiped out and the dollar's days seem to be numbered.

Joe Allen discusses his book Dark Aeon and how he thinks that this idea of gnosticism as the all-encompassing boogeyman and blanket-term for everything one dislikes is misconstrued. Throughout history gnostic groups have differed with each other. This obsession with gnosis particularly becomes problematic and unhealthy when transferred into conspiracy culture. The idea that some today promote of Marxism or wokism or transhumanism as just being gnosticism re-branded might be too simplistic, this conflation is cheap and wrongheaded. In some ways the goals of technocratic transhumanism clash with gnosticism. There should be distinctions between big tech, technocracy, transhumanism and gnosticism.

Dmitry Orlov discusses the state of the world and that we have passed the turning point. The West is collapsing on itself and the rest of the world is simply ignoring it and moving on. The U.S. elections are a clown show and the U.S. is going to slowly collapse. He doesn't believe there will be a Third World War. He comments on Russian sanctions and the West's confiscation of Russian assets, the shuffling in the Kremlin's cabinet, the future of Ukraine, the multipolar world, Unitcoin, and how Washington's strategic initiative to dismember Russia will FAIL! His biggest fear is China losing access to cheap energy which would affect the entire world.

Books https://www.amazon.com/Dmitry-Orlov/e/B001JSB23G

About Dmitry Orlov
Dmitry Orlov is a Russian-American engineer and a writer on subjects related to “potential economic, ecological and political decline and collapse in the United States,” something he has called “permanent crisis”. Orlov believes collapse will be the result of huge military budgets, government deficits, an unresponsive political system and declining oil production.

Orlov was born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) and moved to the United States at the age of 12. He has a BS in Computer Engineering and an MA in Applied Linguistics. He was an eyewitness to the collapse of the Soviet Union over several extended visits to his Russian homeland between the late 1980s and mid-1990s.

In 2005 and 2006 Orlov wrote a number of articles comparing the collapse-preparedness of the U.S. and the Soviet Union published on small Peak Oil related sites. Orlov’s article “Closing the ‘Collapse Gap’: the USSR was better prepared for collapse than the US” was very popular at EnergyBulletin.Net.

Orlov’s book Reinventing Collapse:The Soviet Example and American Prospects, published in 2008, further details his views. Discussing the book in 2009, in a piece in The New Yorker, Ben McGrath wrote that Orlov describes “superpower collapse soup” common to both the U.S. and the Soviet Union: “a severe shortfall in the production of crude oil, a worsening foreign-trade deficit, an oversized military budget, and crippling foreign debt.” Orlov told interviewer McGrath that in recent months financial professionals had begun to make up more of his audience, joining “back-to-the-land types,” “peak oilers,” and those sometimes derisively called “doomers”.

In his review of the book, commentator Thom Hartmann writes that Orlov holds that the Soviet Union hit a “soft crash” because of centralized planning in: housing, agriculture, and transportation left an infrastructure private citizens could co-opt so that no one had to pay rent or go homeless and people showed up for work, even when they were not paid. He writes that Orlov believes the U.S. will have a hard crash, more like Germany’s Weimar Republic of the 1920s.

Dr. Robert Epstein discusses his groundbreaking work confirming President Eisenhower's prophetic speech in his 1961 farewell address warning of the rise of a technological elite that could rule the government in an undetectable fashion, what some call friendly fascism, totalitarian democracy, technocracy, or unseen dictatorship. His research demonstrates how Google and Big Tech can invisibly shift tens of millions of votes in elections in the U.S. and around the world. He fears for his own personal safety because of the power that Google not only wields but exercises. He thinks 2020 will be a turning point which will determine whether nations retain their democracies or whether we'll see a sweep of candidates put in office by Big Tech companies that could lead us toward a Chinese-style dystopian system shaped by "social credits" or other such totalitarian elements.

Former Mexican central bank official Manuel Suárez-Mier discusses the presidency of AMLO and why he thinks it will unravel in 2020 and bring down Mexico's economy, institutions, and democracy. He looks at the migration crisis, the USCMA trade deal (NAFTA 2), the raffling off of the presidential plane, the cancellation of Mexico City's new airport, AMLO's Davos no-show, the downgrading of PEMEX, and more. He also gives his forecast on the economy and whether he thinks we're at the cusp of a new global financial crisis. Finally, he warns of the potential of Mexico to go down the path of autocracy with or without AMLO.

Dr. Francis Boyle discusses the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China and the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory (BSL-4) from which he believes the infectious disease escaped. He believes the virus is potentially lethal and an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties, which is why the Chinese government originally tried to cover it up and is now taking drastic measures to contain it. The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is also a specially designated World Health Organization (WHO) research lab and Dr. Boyle contends that the WHO knows full well what is occurring.

Geopolitical analyst Richard Heydarian discusses the new struggle for global mastery between the United States and China in the Indo-Pacific. He takes a nuanced look at the Trump Doctrine which although abiding by a Nixonian "Madman Strategy" accelerating the decline of American hyperpower in Asia, may yet have some tricks up its sleeves. While he sees China rising with its $8 trillion Belt & Road price tag, he finds the Middle Kingdom may actually be at its peak in terms of economic and geopolitical power. Ultimately, he sees the middle powers in ASEAN and the region leading the way in a "Rhizomatic Order" defined by constrainment (of China), defrag-megration, and regionalism.

Dr. Johan Galtung discusses his view of the future of the world and U.S. empire. He believes we're moving into a peaceful multipolar world composed of regional civilizations, but not quite attaining "one world".

About Johan Galtung
Johan Galtung, dr, dr hc mult, a professor of peace studies, was born in 1930 in Oslo, Norway. He is a mathematician, sociologist, political scientist and the founder of the discipline of peace studies. He founded the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (1959), the world's first academic research center focused on peace studies, as well as the influential Journal of Peace Research (1964). He has helped found dozens of other peace centers around the world. He is currently the president of the Galtung-Institut for Peace Theory & Peace Practice.

He has mediated in over 150 conflicts between states, nations, religions, civilizations, communities, and persons since 1957. His contributions to peace theory and practice include conceptualization of peace-building, conflict mediation, reconciliation, nonviolence, theory of structural violence, theorizing about negative vs. positive peace, peace education and peace journalism. Prof. Galtung's unique imprint on the study of conflict and peace stems from a combination of systematic scientific inquiry and a Gandhian ethics of peaceful means and harmony.

Johan Galtung has conducted a great deal of research in many fields and made original contributions not only to peace studies but also, among others, human rights, basic needs, development strategies, a world economy that sustains life, macro-history, theory of civilizations, federalism, globalization, theory of discourse, social pathologies, deep culture, peace and religions, social science methodology, sociology, ecology, future studies.

Former Newsweek journalist Tareq Haddad discusses the implications of the recent U.S. airstrike that killed revered Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, the prospects of a new American war in the Middle East, and perhaps even a new world war. As a writer forced to resign because of censorship, he also discusses the increasingly authoritarian and oppressive nature of media in the West and the propaganda that will follow the renewed U.S. push toward war with Iran.

About the Guest
At a time in which spin, corporate interests and political polarisation dominate, I am a writer and journalist whose primary aim is to speak the truth at all costs, regardless of how difficult or unpopular that truth may be.

Following my training with the Press Association and various placements at regional and national news outlets, I have since worked at the Hull Daily Mail, the International Business Times UK and Newsweek.

In December of 2019, I resigned from my role at Newsweek after my attempts to publish leaked documents from scientists at the U.N.-backed chemical weapons board, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, was suppressed by my editors.

The documents showed that the non-political scientists were unhappy that their findings from an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria had been doctored and were changed to say that chlorine was present when it had not been—among other things—leading to implications that the U.S., U.K. and France launched an attack on the country on false grounds.

As attempts to publish this story failed, I discovered serious corruption at Newsweek: editors at the publication had links to the U.S. State Department and to powerful lobby groups who profited from war, thus leading to their decision to suppress the story. This is a major breach of journalism ethics and raises serious questions about freedom of press. A full post explaining the story and my findings are available here.

Now, I will be continuing that fight for truth independently. Going forward, I will be writing about freedom of speech, freedom of press, propaganda, politics, foreign affairs, international humanitarian law and more. If you care about these issues, I would be extremely grateful for your support. You can donate via my Patreon or PayPal. Thank you in advance if you chose to do so.

What Trump Didn’t Say About the Massacre in Mexico https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/06/opinion/mormons-mexico.html

About the Guest
I’m a journalist and writer based in Mexico City. I’ve been covering Latin America since 2001 for news media including Time Magazine, CNN, Reuters, The Houston Chronicle, The Associated Press, GlobalPost, France 24, CBC, The Sunday Telegraph, Letras Libres and many others. My work has also appeared in The New York Times, BBC and Guardian. I am author of the books Gangster Warlords: Drug Dollars, Killing Fields and the New Politics of Latin America (released 2016) and El Narco: Inside Mexico’s Criminal Insurgency (released 2011).

I started covering drug cartels from my early days here. I was always fascinated by the riddle of these ghost like figures who made $30 billion a year, were idolized in popular songs and miraculously escaped the Mexican army and DEA. Over the decade I followed the mystery to endless murder scenes on bullet-ridden streets, mountains where drugs are born as pretty flowers, and scarred criminals from prison cells to luxury condos.

During the same time, Mexico’s drug war morphed into a horrific conflict with brutal beheadings, massacres and mass graves. Journalists here found ourselves reporting on a human tragedy of epic proportions – with a never-ending trail of grieving parents and atrocities comparable to brutal civil wars. The need for better understanding to help find a way out of this hole has become more important than ever.

We foreign journalists all have to turn to our homelands for part of that solution. I grew up in sunny England, near the seaside city of Brighton – famous for its pink candy, pebble beaches, colleges and bubbling night clubs. It is also one of Britain’s top places for drug consumption, switching with the fashions from Moroccan hashish to Turkish heroin to Colombian cocaine. Few there ever think about where the mind-bending substances come from or what they might give or takeaway from those countries. In Europe and the United States a hard discussion on our drug habits and policy is long overdue.

As well as following drug trafficking empires, I cover the other major issues of Latin America such as natural disasters (including the Haiti earthquake), the battle between left and right (including the Honduras coup), and the vast human wave of emigration to El Norte. I was a consultant for the International Crisis Group for its first two reports on Mexico. I also love music and cover it whenever I get a chance. I co-directed a series of three short films with John Dickie, which all include a good dose of Latin American hip hop. They are Barrios Beats and Blood, Bajamar Ballad, and The Gangsters’ Granny.

Former Chatham House director Dr. Victor Bulmer-Thomas discusses his book "Empire in Retreat" which explains that the U.S. became an empire from its very inception and how it developed a new form of semi-global empire through institutions which it used to manage the world (e.g. UN & Bretton Woods). He believes the retreat of U.S. Empire is accelerating under the Trump administration due to inherent internal problems such as a declining economy (e.g. crumbling infrastructure, deteriorating quality of education), social inequality, and a consequent growth of anti-exceptionalism and anti-militarism among its own citizenry.

Dr. Oswaldo Zavala discusses his book "The Cartels Don't Exist" in which he examines the questionable narrative that the Mexican drug cartels are in control of the government. In fact, he points to evidence that it is the U.S. and Mexican security state apparatus managing the drug cartels. He deconstructs how the state's false narrative of being the victim of the cartels then is reproduced by mass media, ambitious but naive journalists, film (e.g. Netflix's Narcos, Sicario, Infierno), popular literature, telenovelas and soap operas.

Andreas Bummel discusses the historical idea of world government and how existential civilizational threats such as climate change, thermonuclear war, and systemic global financial collapse necessitate the creation of a world parliament. We discuss numerous aspects of the movement, the role of regional unions, a global currency, and criticisms which include the threat of the world state becoming a tyrannical global leviathan. He discusses the change in global consciousness needed and the movement to create a UN Parliamentary Assembly. Finally, he describes how a democratized China could become a leader in global governance.

About the Guest
Andreas Bummel is known for his advocacy of a world parliament. He is co-founder and director of Democracy Without Borders and coordinator of the international Campaign for a UN Parliamentary Assembly. He frequently writes and speaks about global democracy. His book “A World Parliament: Governance and Democracy in the 21st Century” which was published in 2018 (with Jo Leinen) provides a comprehensive overview. Andreas Bummel is a member of the Congress of the World Federalist Movement-Institute for Global Policy in New York.

UN Parliamentary Assembly Campaign
The Campaign for a UN Parliamentary Assembly is a global network that advocates democratic representation of the world’s citizens at the UN and the institutions of global governance. Supporters of the campaign include current and former parliamentarians and officials, representatives of civil society organizations, researchers, and dedicated citizens.

The campaign’s mandate is based on the international appeal for the establishment of a parliamentary assembly at the UN that was published in 2007 and on subsequent declarations. Five international meetings on a UNPA have taken place so far. The campaign’s international action and strategy is coordinated by a secretariat that is hosted by Democracy Without Borders. The secretariat works closely with the campaign’s steering committee, the co-chairs of the campaign’s advisory group, and partner organizations such as the World Federalist Movement based in New York and The Hague. The overall goal of the campaign is to mobilize government support for the establishment of a UNPA. While the campaign approaches governments, it simultaneously seeks to establish parliamentary support.

Democracy Without Borders
Democracy Without Borders supports global democracy and a holistic approach to democracy promotion that spans from the local to the global levels and at the same time embraces the dimensions of representation, participation, deliberation and co-decision. Democracy Without Borders strives for a democratic world order in which citizens participate beyond national boundaries in shaping policy that serves their joint long-term interests. Such an order needs to be based on an equal world citizenship of all citizens as well as on the principles of federalism, subsidiarity, the separation of powers, the rule of law, fundamental human rights, and the protection of minorities.

Retired British Ambassador to Bahrain and Syria Peter Ford discusses the Syrian War and its latest developments, including attempts to try Bashar al-Assad at the ICC. He describes the "permanent government" of the U.S. which is a key driver of the war, as well as America's European counterparts such as France and Britain, who still cling to the coattails of their imperial past glory. Ambassador Ford believes Gulf unity is shattered and that Syria will remain weak, but will slowly rebuild in the coming years.

Peter Ford Speech, Panel Discussion, House of Lords, March 2019 https://guadalajarageopolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/EuroSCE-Panel-Discussion-March-2013-2.docx

About Peter Ford
Peter William Ford (born 27 June 1947) is a retired British diplomat who was ambassador to Bahrain from 1999–2003 and to Syria from 2003–2006.

Ford was educated at Weston Point Community Primary School, Helsby Grammar School and The Queen's College, Oxford. Having finished his Arabic studies he worked in Beirut, Riyadh, Paris and Cairo before being appointed British ambassador to Bahrain as well as Syria from 2003-06. Retiring from the Diplomatic Service in 2006, he became Representative of the Commissioner-General of UNRWA in the Arab world. In February 2017, Ford became a Director of the British Syrian Society, alongside President Assad's father-in-law Dr Fawaz Akhras.

In 2003, as ambassador to Bahrain, Ford says he sent critical memoranda to London before the Iraq War. Later, he regretted not having been more outspoken. In his time in Damascus (2003-2006), he says he distanced himself more and more from the official policies. Since 2006, he has been criticised as a defender of the Syrian government in Syria. In 2016, he suggested opposition forces were responsible for an attack on a UN humanitarian convoy in September 2016 which led to the deaths of 10 humanitarians. A UN panel of inquiry said the attack was conducted from the air, and only Syrian and Russian air forces were operating in the area. The UN panel stated "that it did not have evidence to conclude that the incident was a deliberate attack on a humanitarian target".

He accused the British government of lies and political mistakes in Syria from the onstart of the uprising, thus aggravating the situation. He argued that Prime Minister David Cameron should have either committed British forces or refrained from encouraging opposition forces from mounting a campaign against the Syrian government. Ford believes that the British leaders expected an early end of the Syrian government and overestimated the strength of the moderate opposition, whom they did not provide with sufficient help.

Ford argued that the fall of Assad would open a "Pandora's box", repeating the mistakes of Libya and Iraq. In his opinion, the fall of the Syrian government would lead to the massacres of Christians, Shias, Alawites, Druze and other minorities. On the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack, he commented to the BBC that "there [had] been no investigation.. not a dodgy dossier - we've not seen any dossier whatever this time". Ford argued there was no proof of the Syrian government's involvement in the attack.

Ford participated in the EuroCE conference on the future of Syria from 5 to 6 April 2017 which was criticised by dissidents as pro-Assad, because among the speakers there were Syrian politicians and supporters of the Assad government. At the conference Ford described the British policy as "incoherent and grotesque", and accused the British government of being among those in the front rank of destroying Syria. He added that following the Iraq War he had been...

Canadian author Yves Engler discusses how Canadian foreign policy is an extension of US foreign policy, how the myth and image of Canada as a benevolent nation is destroyed by its violent regime change of Haiti in 2006 and current involvement in the Venezuelan coup, as well as its role subservient to Washington and its wars of the 20th century.

About Yves Engler
Former Vice President of the Concordia Student Union, Yves Engler is a Montréal-based activist and author. He has  published ten books: Left, Right — Marching to the Beat of Imperial Canada; A Propaganda System—How Canada’s Government, Corporations, Media and Academia Sell War and Exploitation, Canada in Africa — 300 Years of Aid and Exploitation, The Ugly Canadian — Stephen Harper’s Foreign Policy, Lester Pearson’s Peacekeeping — The Truth May Hurt, Stop Signs — Cars and Capitalism on the Road to Economic, Social and Ecological Decay (with Bianca Mugyenyi), The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy (Shortlisted for the Mavis Gallant Prize for Non Fiction in the Quebec Writers’ Federation Literary Awards), Playing Left Wing: From Rink Rat to Student Radical and (with Anthony Fenton) Canada in Haiti: Waging War on The Poor Majority and Canada and Israel: Building Apartheid. Yves was born in Vancouver, where he grew up playing hockey. He was a peewee teammate of NHL star Mike Ribeiro at Huron Hochelaga in Montréal before playing in the B.C. Junior League. After being suspended from Concordia University, he turned to research and writing, but he’s still a fan of the great Canadian sport. To contact Yves email Yvesengler(at)hotmail.com

Yves first became active in Canadian foreign policy issues in the early 2000s. Initially focused on anti-corporate globalization organizing, the year he was an elected vice president of the Concordia Student Union Benjamin Netanyahu was blocked from speaking at the university. The protests sparked a massive backlash against student activism on campus. Later in the school year the US invaded Iraq. In the lead-up to the war Yves helped mobilize students to attend a number of massive antiwar demonstrations and co-founded a small collective called Block the Empire, which organized an early morning blockade of the US consulate in Montréal. Later Block the Empire organized a number of events targeting arms manufacturers, including a tour of Montréal’s weapons industry.

While these efforts challenged Canadian foreign policy, it was only after Ottawa helped overthrow the democratically elected Haitian government in 2004 that Yves began to seriously question Canada’s peacekeeper self-image. As he learned about Canada’s contribution to violent, anti-democratic policies in Haiti Yves began to directly challenge this country’s foreign policy. Over the next three years he traveled to Haiti and helped organize dozens of marches, talks, actions, press conferences, etc. critical of Canada’s role in the country.

Former Dutch Pirate Party candidate, musician, and journalist Rico Brouwer of the Potkaars podcast joins me to discuss his experience as an average citizen trying to make a change in national and European politics with the Pirate Party, and his turn to podcast journalism. We talk about the problems with the establishment or mainstream media and what he calls the "Many Stream" or alternative and independent media. We also discuss the general sentiment in Europe given the political and economic crisis.

About Rico Brouwer and Potkaars
Potkaars in Dutch literally means ‘pot with candle’, phonetically it’s podcasts, they shed light. We make them and look for yours. Potkaars was started in september 2018 by Rico Brouwer and Saskia Söller.

Der Spiegel in 2015 offered her apologies after having published Bellingcat's lies. In 2018 they sue their own journalist Claas Relotius (CNN journalist of the year in 2014), after it became apparent that he had made up stories. In the Netherlands, the Dutch Broadcasting Foundation (NOS) as public broadcaster has been given the task of providing coverage through our national media outlets. The NOS has been given her own black-book in which their mistakes made, are documented. Former Minister Opstelten of Dutch political party VVD said 'a minister does not lie'. But he himself in 2015 resigned after it became known he had misinformed our House of Representatives.

If you want real news, you have to be willing to cut through the smoke -smokes & mirrors- to get to information, and demand a controllable government. Putting information away as 'fake news' is easy. But what do you replace it with? Potkaars tells the story of people who 'have started doing things that matter'. What is wrong, how can it be done better and what do you do to achieve that? Potkaars are podcasts that shed light. We make them and look for yours.

Analyst Tom Luongo joins us to discuss the global economy. We look at the U.S., EU, and China. His thesis is that all regions are on autopilot until something cracks, which he thinks will come from Europe, just as it has in the 20th century with the two world wars.

Author Patrick Wood discusses the 1930s technocracy movement and how it is becoming prominent once again not only in China, but spreading around the world, including to the EU and United States. He highlights the dangers of technocracy, how it can easily turn into dystopia, and how politicians are increasingly looking to scientific elites or "technocrats" to run their governments.

About Patrick Wood
Patrick Wood is a leading and critical expert on Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Agenda 21, 2030 Agenda and historic Technocracy. He is the author of Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation (2015) and co-author of Trilaterals Over Washington, Volumes I and II (1978-1980) with the late Antony C. Sutton.

Wood remains a leading expert on the elitist Trilateral Commission, their policies and achievements in creating their self-proclaimed “New International Economic Order” which is the essence of Sustainable Development on a global scale.

An economist by education, a financial analyst and writer by profession and an American Constitutionalist by choice, Wood maintains a Biblical world view and has deep historical insights into the modern attacks on sovereignty, property rights and personal freedom. Such attacks are epitomized by the implementation of U.N. policies such as Agenda 21, Sustainable Development, Smart Growth and in education, the widespread adoption of Common Core State Standards. Wood is a frequent speaker and guest on radio shows around the nation. His current research builds on Trilateral Commission hegemony, focusing on Technocracy, Transhumanism and Scientism, and how these are transforming global economics, politics and religion.

About the Guest
Dr. Daniel Estulin is a dangerous man to the status quo. Possessed, obsessed, tenacious and courageous, a 2015 Nobel Prize nominee and a multi award-winning investigative journalist, he is a man who has been in the cross-hairs of the global power brokers for almost two decades. He is our preeminent historian of the global elite, a scholar of remarkable breadth and erudition and one of the world’s most outspoken public intellectuals.

Dr. Estulin doesn’t just inspire us, he informs us with his intelligence, authenticity, generosity and compassion. He provides the information, tools, and motivation necessary to inspire and catalyze strategic citizen action. In doing so, his work strengthens movements, ensures a more just system, and brings us closer to the promise of democracy.

His 2015 Nobel Peace Prize nomination is a tribute and recognition for all the work in fighting, exposing and risking his life for the common good of the human race. He gave two speeches at the European Parliament in 2010 and 2012 on European Integration and financial crisis. In November 2014, Mr. Estulin was a keynote speaker at the United Nations conference in Vienna, “Strategic Tendencies of World Politics 2015-2020”.

Since 2005, Dr. Estulin has given over 700 conferences to 500,000+ people.

In his international best seller, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, which has sold 7.2 million copies in 68 countries and been translated into 48 languages, Dr. Estulin was the first man to publicly expose this shadowy cabal of some of the world’s most powerful behind the scenes manipulators. Again and again, Dr. Estulin bravely journeys to the epicenter of hell to uncover some of the most mind-boggling crimes by the men who run the world from behind the scenes.
