• 0:00
  SPEAKER_02: She just announced the unthinkable as European life savings are about to be mobilized.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_02: They absolutely love this word at the moment, don't they?
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_02: Mobilize.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_02: The mobilization of money.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_02: The mobilization of manpower.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_02: It's funny that they use the word manpower when they're so...
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_02: Gun-ho on women should have equal rights on the front line, etc.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_02: But the things they're announcing now, we're going to get into in a moment.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_02: This was a speech that was delivered just a couple of days ago
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_02: by Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Union, of course.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_02: And I was pretty sure, well, I'd say I...
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_02: Ordinarily,
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_02: I should be shocked,
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_02: but nothing shocks me anymore with what they are doing and what they're going
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_02: to be doing with everybody's life savings.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_02: They're calling people lazy for just putting their savings in the bank
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_02: and they said, no, no, no,
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_02: we are now going to take over your savings and we're going to mobilize your savings
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_02: for the harmony and the harmonious, equitable projects.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_02: What are those projects?
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_02: We know a lot of them.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_02: They are struggling.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_02: It's interesting how this happened one day after they wanted to basically take
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_02: the Russian assets that they've confiscated.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: But the head of Belgium, Belgium Prime Minister, blocked it.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_02: So he was one of the people that blocked it.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_02: And then a day later, they announced this new plan for all the savings in Europe.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: What a coincidence.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm sure there's no correlation to the Russian assets
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: and 24 hours later this happening.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: Let me go over to the shared screen a moment here and bring you up to speed.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: So this confirmed on the right here was delivered on the 27th of August in Paris.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: It is not in English so we've got the subtitles here.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: Savings unfortunately aren't lazy, she says.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: 10 trillion euros of household savings remain in bank deposits.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: That's a lot of money.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: And a significant portion of European savings is invested outside of our continent.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_02: We'll actually get onto this in a moment.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: Europe must now put these savings at the service of these companies.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: And that is the goal of the Savings and Investment Union, obviously their new policy.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: We have put forward proposals on securitization.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_02: On investments by banks and insurance companies,
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_02: on the integration of our markets and their operation and their supervision.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_02: Together, we can unlock up to 470 billion euros of additional investment.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there's so much to unpack there.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: There really is.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: Where do we even start with that?
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: But this to me is shocking,
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: the way she stood there with the power position,
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: the camera shooting up at her and she's announcing in her authoritarian voice,
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: I like to use that word as opposed to authoritative voice.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_02: And she's there announcing this new savings union that is going to harmonize
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: and make everything more equitable because there's savings that some people have got
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_02: that are just sat there in the bank and yet there's other people over here
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: that don't have savings.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: We need to mobilize this money to make it more equitable for everyone.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_02: Ladies and gentlemen, that's called socialism.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_02: There's no such thing as adding semantics to certain assets.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_02: You can't say, savings, i.e.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: money, is lazy.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_02: Money is not lazy.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: Money is simply money.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: The person who has the money may be lazy.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_02: You could describe a person as lazy or not lazy, but you can't describe savings as lazy.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: But that is what they are saying.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: These savings need to be mobilized for the greater good.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: So what are they going to do?
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if you recall...
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'll just bring this up.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: This was from about a year ago when I did a video for you and I talked
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_02: about what they were proposing.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: And you can look this document up.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's called Crossing Two Hurdles With One Leap.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: Boosting returns on capital markets via an EU savings product.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: So this is what it was supposed to be.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: It was supposed to be this EU saving product, but now it's not quite the same.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: They've had to adjust this quite heavily.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: So they've said there's now an urgent need to channel...
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: The words they're using.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_02: Retail savings,
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_02: that means your savings in your bank account,
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_02: into European capital markets in order to develop those markets and do what?
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Finance EU priorities.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we know what the EU priorities are right now.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's warfare.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: In this edition of the blog,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_02: we show that an EU savings standard could increase retail participation in
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: the capital market,
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_02: benefiting savers,
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_02: boosting investment in the EU companies, and supporting strategic priorities.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you look at what those priorities are.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's war, it's Ukraine, it's Russia, etc.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_02: I don't see that as a strategic, excellent priority.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_02: The other thing they're not saying is that it won't benefit savers
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: because you won't be a saver anymore.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: You'll be an investor.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_02: And the whole point of this is that some people just don't want to be an investor.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_02: Some people have a very low risk tolerance.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: And if they can get Three or four percent in a savings account.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_02: That is what they want to get.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: Or they might buy some bonds or something like that with it.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe link to the account.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: That is that person's risk tolerance.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: You can't just say, well, you know what?
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_02: I...
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_02: Just going to push that to the side.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: And these people need to be getting a higher return.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: We can get you 5% to 6%.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_02: What they're not saying is, yes, with risk.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: Investing it into these capital-heavy EU markets is a recipe for disaster.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: The returns there are just not good.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_02: And they're not going to be good because of their energy policy.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_02: And the over-regulation which destroys any form of entrepreneurship or anyone
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: who wants to come into the EU.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: Why do you think all of the AI companies are outside of the EU?
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: They're all in America.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: Because the regulations are much softer.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: So you can actually grow a business there.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: Good luck growing it in the EU where you've got,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: what is it, 27 member states or whatever it is these days.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_02: I think Iceland just rejected joining.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: Ursula was very confident Iceland were going to join.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: No, they rejected it for very good time.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: We'll come back to that in a moment, actually, the article.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_02: Because I wanted to show you, in times like this, you've got to take more measures.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: Look at gold at the moment.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: This month, It's up 8%.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's a bit softer on the week.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's down a few percent on the week, but it is up 8% on the month.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: On the year, it's up 22%, 23.5% actually, to be more accurately, on the year.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: And that's why I recommend to you gold,
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: gold and silver as one of those assets that you can actually hold and will grow
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: over time as what we're going to see is capital depreciation.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_02: And that's why the The channel sponsor here is Monetary Metals.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: And if you don't really know much about Monetary Metals,
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_02: I'll tell you a little bit about it for a moment.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: Because gold prices have performed really well over the last year,
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: but what if there were a way to make your gold work for you rather
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_02: than it sitting idle or paying fees to store it?
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's exactly what Monetary Metals is doing
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: because they've created this groundbreaking way for clients to earn up to a 4% yield
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: on gold and that's actually paid in gold, it's not paid in fiat.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: So you don't have to sell your metal,
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_02: you don't have to convert it into cash,
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: you simply earn more ounces of gold over time.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_02: And they run a very transparent marketplace that leases gold to industry,
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: to businesses who then use it productively.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: Think of jewelers,
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: think of refiners,
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_02: and those returns from those leases then go back to clients,
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: and that's paid in gold, not fiat.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_02: So it's a very simple,
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_02: sound and fully asset-backed model designed for people who understand real value
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: and want to grow their wealth in honest money.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: Monetary Metals is all about building real,
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: sustainable wealth in the world's most trusted asset.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: So you can join $1,000.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: to learn how you can earn a yield on gold which is paid in gold and you can fill in
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_02: the form to actually have a conversation with someone there.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: So let's go back then.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go back to what they were talking about in this article.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: We've got a lot more to cover yet.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_02: So they said they want to channel savings into capital markets would also help
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_02: to finance the priorities of the EU.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_02: Karl Marx would be smiling at this right now, I think.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: From the consumer's perspective,
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: ensuring that investments have a broad geographical scope can enhance returns
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_02: and diversify risk.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_02: That is correct.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_02: Full stop.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_02: End of story.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: But then they go on to say,
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: however, this approach may conflict with the goal of financing European priorities.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_02: That right there, ladies and gentlemen, should tell you everything you need to know.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: They've said it,
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: and that's why I've highlighted it in green,
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_02: that from your perspective, you need a broad scope.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: So that means investing in the US, maybe some emerging markets, maybe some other countries.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: But because that will diversify your risk and enhance your returns.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: They're telling you in black and white.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: They're saying,
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: however, this approach may conflict with the goal of financing European priorities.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_02: So this is,
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: even given these images and everything else they want you to do,
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_02: it's crazy what they're doing.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_02: Combining selection criteria enables the pursuit of EU objectives.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: And then they've got, you know, big thing on what they want you to invest into, of course.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_02: But they're telling you investing in the capital markets is not without risks.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_02: The individual returns of the selected funds vary significantly.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: This is worrying, ladies and gentlemen.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's really,
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: really worrying that, um,
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: I've got a tiny little slither in the blinds there and the sun's coming
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: through it right in my eye.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted to talk on the next one then.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_02: So if you wanted to read that document, you can read it.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: But the next one was they are moving towards capital traffic controls.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: This is what I believe.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_02: And the reason why I believe that is We'll go through a couple of articles here.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: So this was from the European Union.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_02: It was a document back in 2024, so two years ago now.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: And you can read any of these you want.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: I'll put it on screen here so you can see it.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: But this was the diary.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: Directive 1619, or 2024-1619.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_02: And this was regarding supervisory powers sanctions,
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: third country branches,
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: and this is what we'll come on to, and obviously the ESG, etc., etc.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: So what they're doing now is they,
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_02: as of this was April 2024,
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: they started this approach to remove the on-ramps so that what they're trying
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: to do is bring all the euros back to the EU.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: Article 21C of the CRD introduces a significant change by imposing a ban
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_02: There we go.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_02: A ban on third country institutions providing core banking services.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: So this is lending, guarantees, commitments, and deposit taking.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: This is the key one here.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_02: Deposit taking into the EU on a cross-border basis, i.e.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: without a physical presence.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: See, that's what they're trying to do.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: They're trying to block any sort of capital now.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's sitting outside the EU from being utilized by you.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: They want it all within their reach.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: And then we'll come on to the digital euro, etc.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: Look at that on the screen.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: Look at that.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_02: The sun right in my face.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: Let me move back.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_02: Hold on.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_02: Let me move back a second.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: But this is what they're trying to do.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: They're trying to mobilize all of the funds here.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: You know, MERS just did a speech that was quite fiery.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: Here it was.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: And he's saying people need to work harder.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: Let's get this.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_02: They're all cheering.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: He's saying, you know, work-life balance is a myth.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_02: Go to China and you'll see they work six days a week.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: We Germans need to work more, you know, four days, you know, work-life balance doesn't exist.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: We need to work more.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: No, he's preparing everybody.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: They're all preparing people.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you saw this.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: This is a really weird one.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: I tried to upscale this image,
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: but it didn't do too well, you know, messed up all the faces and everything.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: But we kind of get an idea for what is happening at the moment.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: So remember on Friday, and even before, A week before Friday just gone.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: I said, what we're going to see is some sort of an event.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_02: It could be a false flag or just something will take place that the EU will say
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_02: and NATO will say, okay, look,
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_02: Russia has done this inside of our country and therefore it's an act of war,
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: Article 5, etc.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_02: We need to go to war.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: And what I mentioned was we're going to see Not conventional strikes,
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_02: but we're going to see hybrid attacks.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: So it could be arson attacks, etc.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_02: There's been a lot of these arson attacks,
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_02: which I believe was Russian operatives within the EU doing it.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: So not conventional warfare, but hybrid warfare.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: You know, destroying drone factories, setting them alight, things like that.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: All is fair in love and war, as they say.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: So I wouldn't be surprised at all if Russian operatives were doing this,
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_02: sabotaging these drone factories,
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: which are of course inflicting significant damage in Russia.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: So we talked about that.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, all of a sudden,
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: whenever I see these posts that come out from all of the leaders,
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_02: all at the same time, and it's the exact same post, it makes me suspicious.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: So what they're talking about is this strike that was on the...
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_02: The Leipzig, it was basically
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: this drone strike, basically.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_02: They said there was a big planned attack on an airport and explosives were found
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: and all the other things.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_02: And they said that they are going to respond to this.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_02: We all need to come together to respond to it.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_02: But what I find really bizarre about that is that The EU is acting as if,
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: I can't believe Russia,
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: this is an outrage,
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: I can't believe they would even consider Planting a bomb or sending a drone
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: into our countries.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_02: What have we done wrong?
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_02: We're nothing to do with this.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_02: We're just innocent bystanders helping Ukraine.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_02: Of course we know that is not what's happening.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_02: It is a proxy war.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_02: It is NATO in effect against Russia.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: We all know that.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_02: However you look at it,
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_02: some of you are pro-Russia,
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: some of you are pro-Ukraine,
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: whatever, it doesn't make any difference to me, your stance.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: What I'm saying here is it's a bizarre set of circumstances and how How they respond
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: to try and say, I can't believe this has happened.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: We haven't done anything wrong.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_02: When obviously everyone's at war already, it just isn't official.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_02: You'll see the official announcements in the near future.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_02: It's somewhat baffling when you see all these things.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's strange.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_02: Another key one then, what did I say a little while back?
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: I think it would be Christine Lagarde that's the next head of the World Economic Forum.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_02: She said she's ready to serve, this new report says.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I thought that was interesting.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: It mentions her incredible integrity.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_02: Well, before we talk about her incredible integrity, we should probably just mention her...
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_02: Her conviction,
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: criminal convictions,
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_02: when she was the head of the IMF,
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: the International Monetary Fund,
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_02: and then she was moved after her conviction to the ECB,
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_02: where she's done her two terms, meant to only do one, did two terms.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so she somehow avoided jail and And she kept her job, all because she pleaded guilty.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_02: But anyway,
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_02: we will put that to the side because they talk about her incredible integrity as
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_02: a leader, of course.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_02: But they said that she could be about to take this job in 2027.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_02: She's ready.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_02: The NZZ reported over the weekend Lagarde had been referred to as a putative candidate.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_02: I would use a different word there.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: For the position of WEF president during
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_02: a board meeting near Geneva earlier this week,
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: Lagarde,
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: who's on the board of trustees already,
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_02: has thanked fellow board members for their confidence in her.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_02: She says she's ready to serve,
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: really, ready to serve herself, I think is what was meant to have been said.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_02: Indeed.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_02: So her role ends in October 2027.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: And we know that people who love power only want more power.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I don't think she's just going to be retiring, although she should.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_02: She'll be going for the WEF role.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: Well, another thing that made me laugh was talking
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: about this French presidential election campaign.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine her running for the president of France?
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_02: She's actually ruled herself out now after letting that sort of rumor run for a little while.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_02: I found that bizarre that she...
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_02: Actually thought she could run and win president of France at the moment
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: when we all know France is going to swing to the right just as a lot
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: of other European countries are going to swing to the right in this next election.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_02: So her running is an interesting one.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_02: Now then, we talked about Mobilizing the funds.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: We talked about previously the digital euro, which they keep saying we might do it.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_02: And now we all know they're going to do it.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's just a matter of time.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_02: But this is the new one that's just come out then.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_02: ECB should embrace blockchain to safeguard its role.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_02: This is the latest one.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: They want to embrace the blockchain now then.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_02: They're ramping up all of this rhetoric ready for their launch.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_02: Now, a kind of concerning one as we get nearer to the end of the video here is
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_02: that Europe is about to go into winter,
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: as I forecast, with their gas storage at a two-decade low.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_02: It's at just 63% full.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_02: As they're going into winter, that is going to drain down so quickly.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_02: But they say it doesn't matter because they don't want natural gas anyway.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_02: They want to use renewables and they're going to be bringing on their renewables.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_02: So they're phasing out fossil fuels.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_02: They don't want natural gas.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_02: So they say that to the public.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_02: But yet if you see what is going on behind closed doors and you read some
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_02: of these meeting notes, it's quite the opposite.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_02: So they're fighting with Asia.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: And Asia is winning for the LNG and the gas, basically.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_02: Asia is winning because they're willing to...
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_02: They don't have the same strict criteria that the EU has and, oh,
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_02: the gas has got to be this and it's got to be that and,
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_02: you know, the green kind of washing and stuff that they're doing.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_02: But they're losing heavily to Asia.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_02: Asia's getting all the LNG and they just haven't,
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_02: they're not going to have the natural gas for this year.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_02: But they said it doesn't matter because They've got
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_02: a campaign that's running that's going to get householders to reduce their heating.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_02: So they're going to tell you to wear an extra sweater,
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_02: put a blanket on, extra blanket for bed, upgrade your windows, doing all this stuff.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: They're mad if they think this is going to work.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_02: But I looked at who has actually got the storage, and I can show you on screen here.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_02: You've got Italy with 83%, so they're going to be very good, even though Italy's a lot warmer.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_02: Poland, 93.5%, so they'll do well.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_02: France, 71%, not great, but it was enough to get them through.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_02: If you look at Germany,
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_02: you look at the Netherlands,
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_02: The Netherlands, you can't even believe that they've only got 47%.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Netherlands used to have huge reserves of natural gas, so did Germany.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_02: But I guess that's what happens when you decide to pour concrete down your gas wells
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_02: in order that no one can ever open them up again.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: Because of the net zero campaign.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_02: These people,
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: when all of this is over,
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_02: and mark my words,
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_02: it will be over at some point in the near future,
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_02: there should be massive criminal trials against these leaders
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: who have really just destroyed the economies of Europe.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_02: Sad, sad, but I do think there's going to be an end to it.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_02: If we think of the cycle that we're in now, The fourth turning cycle.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_02: We've gone through the first three and we're into the fourth part of the cycle now.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: And 2027 is when we're getting close to it now.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_02: As we go towards 2030 is obviously the war period.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_02: The only sort of country that hasn't got involved yet, I would say, is China.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_02: So that'll be interesting when you've got Iran, you've got Russia, you've got North Korea.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_02: The three of them are already really in war, North Korea with Russia, with Ukraine against NATO.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_02: And then you've got Iran,
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_02: USA, seems to be keeping both of those countries quite busy at the moment.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_02: So it's really just China sitting there on the sidelines,
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_02: building up their military, building up their economy.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_02: That's going to be...
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_02: That's going to be very interesting.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_02: If something happens with Taiwan and the US does actually go in to defend Taiwan,
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_02: that means conflict with China, it's going to get very, very messy.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: But we've still got a little bit of time.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_02: If you would like If you want me to make any videos on preparedness for that sort
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_02: of period, please let me know.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_02: Happy to make them.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_02: I know people used to request preparedness videos very heavily before.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_02: I haven't had those requests for a long time, but if you want any of those, happy to make them.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_02: Other than that, check out Monetary Metals.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: We talked about the channel sponsor here.
• 25:17
