“The worst single mistake ever made in the history of our country: going into the Middle East, by President Bush.” — Donald Trump

.

The banksters need a war desperately right now. They’ve tried so hard in Syria, and it just hasn’t worked. Then they got crazy Trump actually saying we should stay out of the Middle East and focus on our own problems, and people were listening . . . What’s a self-respecting globalist financier to do?

So, they sent their puppets like McCain, Romney, Clinton, and Biden out to talk up the fight against “evil” and threaten Russia, hoping to fool those dumb white ‘Murkins one more time into sending their sons off to die for God and Country and Goldman Sachs.

The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia.

It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this war and Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.

Alex seems to think economic "surplus" can only be spent by "society" or those who control society. How about each person determining how to spend his share of the surplus (savings) minus the bare necessity needed for reasonable government? Of course, the problem is that individuals with large amounts of the surplus due to successful investment will invest it in CONTROLLING the GOVERNMENT so as to institutionalize their advantages. BTW: The error in Alex' analysis of borrowing and investment is that when there is no central bank nor other institutions like protected fractional reserve banking or legal tender laws, the volume of real money grows very slowly resulting in a decline in prices. Economic surplus is continually realized by reduced prices not increases in "money income." The "people" would have to be very wise to maintain a real money system. The fight against Central Banking started immediately after the American Revolution ended and resulted in TOTAL VICTORY, eventually, for Central Banking. Clearly, creating money out of nothing by whatever device is ESSENTIALLY confiscation of the economic surplus!

I know we are fed a healthy diet of Propaganda on China but what about the social credit score system. This system will only lead down to a dark path.

During the great depression FDR closed the Banks [The Bank Holiday. nice name].

Only certain Banks reopened and took the assets and liabilities of the closed Banks.

So there were winners and losers.

So not everyone got screwed and it was a gradual tightening so the desperate people were too busy scrambling for food and money to fight back. Also it was a Govt run scheme so you had to fight the National Guard Police FBI like we are today. And the winners were busy as well trying to stay ahead.

So do they have the power to do the same again rather than the one off Liquidity Crisis they had planned?.

This was one of the best podcast's you have posted. As much as I love listening to Doug and Matt, these podcasts in which you converse with another ‘knowledgeable one’ is quite valuable as they give another’s perspective.

I believe there may be many oligarchies fighting amongst themselves for control over humanity. Seems oligarchies & central banking are always at the center of societal division. Curious, are the banking cartels just one of these oligarchies or are they on a hierarchical scale one rung above the other oligarchies and if so are there other rungs above them?

I recently re-read 1984. I became interested in ‘The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism' by the fictional author Emmanuel Goldstein. This intrigued me and I went on to listen to, How the Oligarchy Rules: Foundations and Non-Profits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_J9vZtsiPA. I am curious what your take on this podcast is?

I believe I am a couple of years shy of Doug’s age and my entire life I have been on a quest for knowledge. My quest seems to be turning into another version of “The Never Ending Story”.

Podcasts like yours allows me to keep my quest alive. Keep up the good work.

Excellent discussion and guest! I really appreciated the discussion toward the very end about The Great Taking. I hope and pray the both of you are right in that it's too risky, how could they pull it off without pissing a lot of people off, especially the police and military. But at the same time, who would have thought they would be able to pull off a fake pandemic and terrorize the populations of the world into taking bioweapon injections?

But maybe The Great Taking is just one of their plans- I know that over at Corey's Digs there is an article about the BIS plan to tokenize all assets, with the banking cartel getting the asses and the slaves getting the tokens. George Gammon has also talked about the BIS tokenization plan and his video is embedded in Corey's article. And Iain Davis has an article, something like "Seizing Control Over the Global Commons" and these psychos are basically declaring themselves masters of the planet.

Great discussion with interesting perspectives worth consideration. I particularly appreciate his idea for how to handle the “elite” creeps trying to ruin our lives.

The only good guys are Trump and his America First MAGA Patriot supporters. Anyone who is an advocate, proponent and adherent of UN Agenda 21/2030 is an enemy of humanity, and Comrade Xi Jingping and all of the BRICS+ Nations, plus all of the WEF+BIS+NATO members are all advocates, proponents and adherents of UN Agenda 21/2030.

UN Agenda 21/2030 = Globalist Neo-Feudal Technocratic One-World Imperialism.
