22 Easy Ways YOU Can Reject the Great Reset — Dr. Simon Goddek Interview · Man in America Podcast

• 0:01
  Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse. So we've seen in the over the course of this COVID pandemic, doctors have been one of the main targets for being canceled, researchers, scientists, etcetera. And joining me today is doctor Simon Gottick, someone who's been very outspoken about alternative treatments for COVID, but also just exposing the lies and the corruption of the system. And he's lost multiple jobs and has really done well for, you know, kind of fighting on his own.
• 0:33
  But what we're gonna talk about today is not only the phenomena of doctors and scientists being canceled so they can control the narrative, but we're gonna be looking at how this fits into the overall great reset. And what is the great reset? What's the new world order? But what's beautiful about this episode today is that we're also gonna be looking into practical steps that everybody can take to reject the great reset, which I think is really fantastic because we all have to feel empowered and have to understand it. So you know what?
• 1:05
  We can do things that will help limit their control over us because that I think is what ultimately will help us win this battle. Folks, before we get started, make sure you're following me on social media at Man in America and on Twitter at Man in America US. Every show is also done as a podcast. So if you wanna listen instead of watch, just go to your favorite podcast app and search for Man in America, and you'll find me there. Alright, folks, let's get into this interview with Doctor.
• 1:28
  Simon Gottick. Simon, it is such a pleasure to have you here on the show. Thank you for joining us today.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me.
• 1:38
  Seth Holehouse: Absolutely. So you've been one of the outspoken voices, and you've been canceled for it. And so there's there's a lot that we're gonna be talking about today. I think you bring a really important perspective to the discussion that really is, I think, helping people understand the tyranny that we're facing, the persecution of scientists, of people that are speaking out, people like myself, like you, like, you know, that have been canceled and kicked off of Twitter and whatnot. And so let there's a lot to dive into, but how about let's first start with a little bit of your back story and kind of your your training and expertise, but then how you really saw the the writing on the wall and and refused to toe the line and how that led you to being fired and canceled.
• 2:21
  So I'll I'll hand it over to you.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm Simon, and I got my PhD in biotechnology, which I received I think six years ago from one of the best universities in the world, especially in the field of biotechnology. Think it's number one and number two. So I've been doing my postdoc there afterwards. Everything was going as it should.
• 2:47
  Was was public writing many publications. My age index was going high, was going up. I had hundreds of citations per year as a junior scientist which is remarkable. And then COVID happened and I was just continuing my way because I thought it was just like you know some whatever the media sometimes does to make a scandal from something that's really not scandalous. And I was just telling people like they were like I'm afraid of viruses, low Covid is going to kill us all.
• 3:23
  I'm like oh no come on you will see and during the summer there will be normal Covid because I mean I'm a researcher also in vitamin D. So I'm deep into vitamin D and I was like okay as soon as people get out in the sun there will be no respiratory virus anymore around us and people will be healthy with an adequate vitamin D blood serum level. So I was telling people okay just just come down we'll be over in September. So I took the time in summer twenty one, no 2020 sorry, to write a paper and vitamin d just to educate people not to worry. And by September when things were still going on were being amplified by the media I was like okay there's something going wrong here.
• 4:11
  So I was getting a Twitter account. I wasn't really active. I was just lurking. I was making some posts about masks, why they don't work. Like you know the usual thing you have to do as a scientist.
• 4:25
  I mean are still scientists who claim that masks work and I mean it's maybe first grade physics class to know that it doesn't or they don't. So it wasn't until I think December 2020 until I got more attention. That was when I was writing a thread about the preview process of Drostan's PCR protocol that kind of got the world where it was back then because he developed a PCR protocol for COVID based on virus sequences he got from social media which is not really professional. And he suggested a cycle threshold of 45 which literally makes everybody sick if tested. So so yeah.
• 5:16
  And he also started to tell that the myth So he started the myth with asymptomatic transmission, the same guy. So I was diving into this. I was making a thread. I had thousands of followers. I got lots of attention.
• 5:30
  Many scholars from The Netherlands were attacking me, mainly virologists. You know there seemed to be kind of attacked. And yeah I lost my job just like two months later. But that's how it started for me. Of course I was shocked, I was attacked because of a vitamin D paper.
• 5:48
  My universe was told like how they could ever allow me to publish such pseudoscience. It would be dangerous paper talking about vitamin d is just like yeah they call it pseudoscience. So that was my situation. That's when the journey started for me. So I actually didn't want to have any attention.
• 6:08
  There are people out there who were like screaming since the beginning but I was like quiet. But now yeah I got into this mess by people who reported me to my employer.
• 6:19
  Seth Holehouse: Which is just just kind of insane to think about that. That, you know, that we're living in an age where people can complain about what you say on Twitter and you get fired because of it. And so what's interesting, that with your perspective is, you know, I've entered a lot I've interviewed a lot of doctors and, you know, scientists, and a lot of them are much more just they specialize in the medical aspect of this. And, you know, many of them have been canceled. They've been you know, their their licenses revoked, etcetera.
• 6:48
  But what I think what you've been able to do is piece together the bigger picture of this because it's not really about canceling doctors. It's not about canceling a journalist or a podcaster. It's really about this it really mean, it's a great reset. It's really about taking society into a place where these people, these these powerful people, the evil people in our world, have complete control over us. Right?
• 7:16
  Like, that's what they wanna do. And the COVID and and the the phony science that they hit they've used, that's just their control mechanism. So maybe in the past, you know, if a a king wanted to seize a neighboring land, he might cut off their supply routes and starve them until they're forced into, accepting his food in exchange for, you know, giving up their sovereignty. It's just that, you know, this is the modern day, which is they're gonna use fear, fear of a virus to then bring in all these sweeping walls and changes, and, you know, their goal is to lead us into this this great reset. They've got full control of us, etcetera.
• 7:54
  And so, you know, it makes sense that from that perspective that anybody who questions that. Right? Because they they can't just come in and take control. They have to have us go along with it to a certain degree. Right?
• 8:06
  Because we still have free will. And so they have to have people be scared enough to go get the vaccine or go get the booster. Right? Or scared enough to wear the mask or to turn their neighbor in who's, you know, who's not wearing his mask, etcetera. And so but, you know, from your perspective, how do you in your experience, how do you see science as being used as one of the pillars of the great reset and the control of the scientific discussion?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: So what what they're doing is they're using fear to make people compliant. We've seen the same phenomenon in 02/2001 when they talked about international terrorism. It's also an intangible yeah topic. So how do you how do you see terrorism? You can see terrorists but you usually see them after they they did their act.
• 8:58
  But people have been afraid of terrorism and it's intangible. In terms of the virus you can't even see the virus. They didn't use bacteria or fungi because you could see them. They used the virus because it's invisible. It's totally invisible.
• 9:11
  So they used this to create fear and fear makes people do things they usually wouldn't do. I mean irrational things. And that's how they got us into this coercion and getting the boosters, getting the vaxx, wearing the masks. We were just like people were just told if you do the right thing it's going to be over soon. Don't yeah, if you do this you don't have to be afraid, but if you don't do it you're going to die.
• 9:35
  So the German Minister of Health said by March 2021 everybody who's not vaccinated or boosted is gonna is gonna be dead. And more or less the opposite was the case, you know. The unvaccinated had had a higher chance of survival. So they used this to to get people afraid, even to kill their own grandma, kill their own parents. So people I know I'm asking them why did you get vaxxed?
• 10:03
  Either okay I just wanted to travel or I'm afraid I was afraid to kill my parents. So use this fear which is totally unscientific because if you look into the science itself and this is like very well documented, we know that fear increases the excretion of cortisol and cortisol itself is a silent killer. Mean it releases or it causes cytokine storms, They again cause inflammation within your body and all tissues. So cortisol, like the fear hormone is the one that kills people. It wasn't a virus, it wasn't whatever they're trying to tell us, it was the fear that most likely killed the people that caused the excess mortality we've been observing.
• 10:52
  So science has been misused. And I wouldn't say science, it's just like a couple of scientists who were given the voice who national media was putting in the front line, such as Kochmans in The Netherlands, Dorsens in Germany, Fauci in The U. A. So every country had their own biologist villain who was willing to sell his soul in order to make people afraid. And the others who were not online, they got cancelled.
• 11:23
  As easy as that. They were just canceled from social media from everywhere. So you had this WHO guideline and all the social media platforms were telling okay if they don't follow this guideline. And the guideline even says you couldn't even post about vitamin D. It's just insane.
• 11:40
  You the most I mean you couldn't say okay a healthy diet will increase your chance of survival and they would be like no no no it's the vaccine only. So they really cancelled everyone who was going against the narrative in a very rigorous way by just deleting your account and not replying to to any request to restore it. It's been like this on Twitter. I've I've I'm just active on Twitter and I mean telegram didn't do it. And I also have seen that YouTube is ridiculously strict.
• 12:15
  But it's like the Google. It's the Google company. I think they're called Alphabet. It's Mark Zuckerberg's platforms, Facebook and Instagram. They would just all boot them off.
• 12:27
  Whoever is against the narrative or doesn't agree with the narrative, doesn't push the narrative was was kicked off the platform.
• 12:35
  Seth Holehouse: Folks, I've got a quick message for you. If you look at what the great reset is, as we're talking about in today's episode, you can see that one of the critical control components that these elites have is trying to control our food. Of course, they want us to eat zeebugs, right, to quote the famous Claus Schwab Bond villain, but we have to be able to resist that. But they know that and so their plans, whether it's gonna be through a grid down scenario or the blowing up of food plants, they are trying to collapse our food system because they know that if we can't get food, if we can't go to the grocery store and buy our food, we're gonna be forced into their system. So maybe they're gonna require a digital ID to get your bread from the bread line or tracking or whatever it is.
• 13:18
  So we have to be able to resist that. And so the company that I highly recommend for this is called Heaven's Harvest. So we pulled up their website for you folks. This is heavensharvest.com. So they specialize in very high quality long term storable food and heirloom seeds for growing food that you can actually use the seeds year after year because these are non GMO, heirloom seeds.
• 13:42
  So if you look at your own food supply and ask yourself, if today you could no longer go to the grocery store and buy food, how long would you be able to feed your family for? My recommendation personally is at least three to six months so that have at least three to six months for the food stored for every family member in your household. Even a year is even better. It depends on your budget. And so to do that, though, I recommend these food buckets from Heaven's Harvest.
• 14:05
  Now there's a lot of food bucket competitors, and their goal is really just to make these buckets as cheap as possible. So they put in, like, sugary drinks, everything because they want to get as much calories as possible for the dollar. That's not what Heaven's Harvest does. They focus on high quality storeable food that will last up to twenty five years. So look, hopefully, you never have to use them, but I would say it's safe to say you're probably gonna have to tap into your food supplies within the next twenty five years.
• 14:29
  So check them out. Again, go to heavensharvest.com. And when you use promo code Seth, that's s e t h, use promo code Seth, you're gonna save 15% off your entire order. It's interesting to kind of piece this all together. Actually, as I was just pulling up, I've got a quote here from Henry Kissinger.
• 14:48
  And there's there's a handful of there's a handful of quotes from him, but talking about this one in particular, I'll pull this one up really quickly. So he says, the new ward order cannot happen without US participation as we are the most significant single component. Yes. There will be a new ward order, and it will force The United States to change its perceptions. Right?
• 15:10
  And he's also talked a lot about how fear and using fear of something and then coming in and offering the solution to take away that fear in exchange for some of their freedoms is really the path that leads people into the new world order. And now what I what's interesting, though, is that I've spent a lot of time, and this is a it's a difficult balance because I spent a lot of time exposing the plans of these I'm not sure what even more to call them, the social engineers, the the the satanic cabal, whatever people wanna refer to them as. I've spent a lot of time exposing their plans and help people become aware of them. And but that's a double edged sword, and I'm I'm oftentimes really trying to find the right balance because I don't want to create additional fear. Like, I don't wanna say, look how much control the European bankers have or look how much control the CCP has and make people think, oh my gosh.
• 16:04
  We live in a world where there's nothing I can do. Like, the world has already fallen to these people. So there's always a balance of that. And so but there's one article in particular that I'm gonna pull up. This is your on your Substack, which I really wanna get into with you, which is how to reject the great reset.
• 16:21
  Because in my view, the great reset is just a new word and a new term for the new world order. Right? It's kind of how to reject the new world order. What's that mean? It's like, well, how to reject the the new order they wanna push us into, right, through the through the great reset.
• 16:37
  And so but here you provide, like, really practical steps. And I remember I first came across this on Twitter because you'd posted this thread on Twitter. I was like, gosh. This is just this makes so much sense. And so I wanna dig in this with you and fear, a, why you published this, like, what your perspective was, then go into some of these details.
• 16:56
  Because I think that the one thing that I've come to in my understanding of where we're at in history is as frightening as it seems, as much as as as evil as it as the world feels and as powerful as these people kind of, you know, want us to think that they are, that there's actually a lot of really simple things that we can do that like, really, the power is ours. Right? So the whether we wanna accept responsibility and change our lives or just give the power over to them via our fear, it really comes back and it's it's it's up to us. And that's what I really enjoyed about this particular article is that it's like, okay. Here's some very practical steps.
• 17:35
  So what is it like, what was the trigger for you that was like, okay, I wanna write this article about how to reject the great reset?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't remember. I was probably taking a shower and then, know, shower thoughts. I was I remember that I was in my jungle house so hardly any internet and just being the nature. And I was thinking okay what can we do? Because I agree with you I mean like it's ongoing and it's unstoppable.
• 18:09
  There will be the great reset but the degree of the great reset can still be determined. So it will be there to some degree. They will not stop and we can't exchange all the leaders unless there is a global French revolution but it will not happen within the next decades I think. So we will go towards Orbus 1984. Maybe not all the way, but people knowing that don't need to be afraid.
• 18:39
  Mean there, as I've wrote down, there are many ways to reject it and there will be a necessity to comply to some degree. So probably in the future there will be your the currency will be digital and you will not be able to pay with cash anymore. Mean like you can't go somewhere and say here's the cash and they will not take it. It doesn't make sense. But there are some ways around like having at least some gold, maybe some silver, having some land.
• 19:10
  If you have one, two, three, four acres or more you can farm your stuff, you could exchange it with neighbors. So they can't coerce you into starvation. So there are many ways you can kind of reject that very set for yourself privately or for your family. And I mean there maybe you can bring up the article and we can go through. Sure.
• 19:37
  Let me bring
• 19:37
  Seth Holehouse: it up.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: The points.
• 19:39
  Seth Holehouse: And actually, I was gonna say, so I found the quote from Henry Kissner I wanted to kind of frame this with. So this is, the one thing man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for them for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by a world government and new world order. And I think you'd really you hit the nail on the head when saying that, like, why the war on terror? Well, it's because terror is unknown.
• 20:07
  Right? It's one thing we say, okay. We're at war against the the Chinese Communist Party. It's like, okay. Well, if, you know, CCP troops come, you know, parachuting into my backyard, it's like, okay.
• 20:16
  I aim the gun at those guys. Right? And so but I think that there's the unknown of terrorism. Right? The threat of terrorism and their terror kind of clock, the doomsday clock they're always kicking forward.
• 20:27
  But then also a virus. It's like it's the ultimate like, Henry Kissinger is probably just so excited about COVID. It's the ultimate control mechanism because it it naturally, if I think people can fear it, as he mentioned that that individual rights will be real willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being. Right? It's like, sure, I'll wear a mask everywhere.
• 20:48
  I'll mask my children. I'll get this experimental vaccine. I'll get the booster. As long as you tell me it's gonna protect me. Anyway, I thought that was just a very pertinent quote to the discussion.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: But I don't believe in in the world order in the sorry, in the world government because we see two powers. One is Bricks, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, maybe Tunisia is going to join and others. And you see the collapsing Western world. So there will be there will be bipolar, tri polar. We will see.
• 21:17
  So there will no there will be no world to order as such as one entity who is controlling all of us. But they all use the same mechanisms to control the society. That's what we have to be aware of. You can see it in China social credit system super scary they want to implement here. They use the CO2 as an excuse to control whatever you eat, whatever you travel.
• 21:43
  Even though I don't consider CO2 as methane. I mean plants need CO2 to grow and the more CO2 in the atmosphere or at least in the atmosphere, the the more the more budget the more growth we can see, you know. So the more forest, the better the microclimate, etcetera. So I don't share the doomsday scenario that is created by the IPCC who also consider a corrupt organization. But yeah maybe maybe we can get to article quickly and we can I can just walk you through the list?
• 22:20
  So yeah, I mean having two more than two children, I mean it's up to everybody. But what they're trying to do now I think with all this trans movement and it's just like to reduce the global population. And I still don't understand why and if it's really the goal Because the fewer people live on planet the less products they can sell. And most of them are businessmen, the philanthropists. So Bill Gates he needs clients you know.
• 22:53
  Maybe there are enough clients. I don't know. Yeah. I don't like the the idea of eating bugs because they they don't contain the the proteins and the and the fat fatty acids and the fats that we require. So I totally don't agree with this.
• 23:10
  I think meat is healthy, chicken is healthy, eggs are healthy. They're trying to tell us okay vegan is the only way to go but being vegan makes you sick. That's a fact. People are sugar addicted. Just like a short side note, just like stop eating sugar and you will be, your mind will have less fog.
• 23:31
  Yeah, media, I mean, corrupted. We don't need to talk about this. Everybody who watches the show knows this. Cars, very interesting by the way. I'm I'm having I'm having a modern car and I have a Volkswagen Beetle from the beginning of the seventies.
• 23:46
  So they can do whatever. It will drive it even drives some alcohol. So so that's something I can, you know, I can I can just do myself, make myself, and and and drive?
• 23:56
  Seth Holehouse: And it was it's it's also EMP proof. So if they if they or someone else's cars get fried, you'd be one of the few people on the road still, which has made me like I've my goal is to buy a really old Hummer. Right? And have like a, you know, sitting in the back of the property. It's like the doomsday Hummer.
• 24:11
  It's always gonna run. Yeah. But one thing I wanted to to add to this, we'll get back to the list is that it's interesting because what I see the theme to be with these points, whether it's, you know, as we'll get into building community, having more children, homeschooling, is it feels like that all of the solutions to rejecting the great reset are just to go back to what it means to be human. And and to me, that's really empowering because I've also I've made these changes in my life. You know, four years ago, I was living in a high rise in Manhattan.
• 24:43
  Right? I did I did not cook my own food. I did not garden. I ate, you know, takeout three times a day because I was really busy. And so but I saw, you know, what was really kind of coming and I was prepping in my own way.
• 24:54
  But now my wife and I, we live out in the country in Ohio. We've got five acres of land. We've got 30 chickens. We've got gardens everywhere, fruit trees. Like, we planted probably 30 fruit trees last year.
• 25:06
  And, you know, these these are the changes that that, you know, that we're making. And so but it was interesting, though, is it doesn't feel like we're just making these arbitrary changes. Like, okay. Like, there's some guide of here's how you do it, and it's okay. Do we check that off?
• 25:21
  Check that off? Check that off. It's actually it feels more as if, like, these are the changes that you can just sit quietly in a room and ascertain. And maybe through prayer meditation, can come to this because it's really about just going back to what what I believe is, you know, how God wanted man to live. Right?
• 25:40
  I think that what we're experiencing is it's really it's this demonic satanic agenda to pull us into this transhumanist, artificial, and evil system. It's like, well, to reject that, you just go back to just the system of just goodness and compassion and integration with nature. And, anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there because to me like that's that's the theme which makes me happy.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's no. What you're saying is totally correct and I think a combination of of modern society and the old habits is important. So I love the internet being connected to the whole world exchanging you know and back in the times people were living in one country just connected to the community and people were more xenophobic as well. Like okay these people living in this other country are evil.
• 26:29
  Let's go to war. I mean like now we can communicate. We're like oh no they're that bad. It's easier to get information and get down to the truth using the internet. But I think when it comes to self sufficiency we really need to go back.
• 26:43
  And you don't want to eat all this GMO stuff or the vegetables that were sprayed with glyphosate and just give you cancer. You don't want that. You want your own chicken. You have 30, I have 15. I don't know how you can eat that many eggs.
• 27:00
  Oh, man. But eat your two eggs per day, know. Just be just be healthy. Even eat your own chicken. I mean, least the at least the roosters are super annoying.
• 27:11
  It's it's that's the way to go. And it doesn't mean that you need cows, that you need to slaughter cows. There's stuff you can just get from a neighbor or from the local store. But just getting some maybe one hundred years back regarding the way people were doing homesteading, It doesn't mean that you don't have a smart home in case of saving solar panels, creating electricity, being more self sufficient than people were in the back of the time because they used to stuff, they didn't have electricity. So you have take modern elements or technology and combine it with homesteading, how the Amish do it, you know.
• 27:51
  I think this is the way to go and I'm trying this and actually see hardly anyone doing the same. There are many people here in Brazil who own lots of land. They they just don't use it that way. They just still go to the supermarket and buy the lettuce. It's just just crazy.
• 28:07
  But I know in Ohio, Pennsylvania, up there in The US, many people do homesteading. You're you're far more ahead than than people here in South America.
• 28:15
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. It's interesting because even a lot of the the neighbors surrounding us, they've got chickens, they've got horses, they've got, you know, cows, big gardens. And but, you know, it's kind of the the point on the eggs. So, yeah, I mean, it's way too many eggs for my wife and I and our little, you know, we have a little two and a half year old daughter. It's way too many for us to eat.
• 28:35
  But one of the reasons why we wanted extra is a, if if there's, you know, times of famine that, you know, eggs can be a great, you know, source of of food and protein, etcetera. But we've also like, we try to give away a lot of the eggs. So we try to give them to neighbors, and we use them as a way to build community with people to say, hey, can I bring you some eggs? And we'll bring them some eggs, and they're like, wow, this is amazing. Can I pay you for these?
• 28:56
  Like, no, don't pay me. And then they'll come back the next day and like, hey, I baked you some bread, right? And they bring the bread back and it's like, wow, this is great. We'll get back to your article because there's one point there where you talk about how they can't tax this, right? Like if I, for instance, have these eggs and give them to my neighbor and my neighbor in exchange gives me some lettuce that she grew, whatever, that's outside of the system.
• 29:18
  Right? Like Klaus Schwab has no control over what I do with my chicken eggs. Right? But the other thing that we do is we have a freeze dryer. And so what we will freeze dry batches of about a hundred eggs at a time.
• 29:30
  Takes about a day and a half. And that way, we freeze dry and put them into Mylar bags with an oxygen packet, and they'll be shelf stable unrefrigerated for, you know, twelve years, fifteen years or so. So that's that's one of
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I I didn't know that. Yeah. That's impressive.
• 29:44
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. It's it's we use a harvest rite, but you can you just crack them all up, you make like a giant bucket of scrambled eggs raw. You pour them onto the trays, and then you freeze dry them. And then after that
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, scrambled eggs. Not not like the eggs as in okay. Scrambled eggs. That makes totally sense.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 29:59
  Seth Holehouse: Course. They're still raw, so you don't cook them. Right? So you put the raw eggs on there, and then it pulls all the moisture out, freeze dries them, and they're just like a powder. Then whenever you want to cook them in the future, you add water and butter back and you've got you've got fresh scrambled eggs.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's amazing.
• 30:14
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. So anyway, so let's I'll pull your article back up. So we'll continue. So you're talking about the cars, right? And you're driving, you know, robust cars.
• 30:24
  Yeah, don't don't get in in my opinion, also don't get into the whole electric car fad and, you know, because then they're gonna look at California. They're like, well, you can only charge your car between this hour and that hour because the power grid's tax ing and it's completely absurd.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I'm a fan of cars that run on alcohol. It's very common here in Brazil because Brazil, I think, is the biggest producer of sugarcane And all the residues, they turn to alcohol, to ethanol. So yeah, that's something I really I really like. And if necessary, I mean, I have several hectares of land I would just take I would just take plants and I can turn everything which would into alcohol with just like a small investment.
• 31:08
  So if the shit hits the fan, I think it's good to have a car that runs on alcohol. But I think it's very hard to get in The US. But you have you can you have cars that run on gas. So gas as in not gas, but like the
• 31:23
  Seth Holehouse: The ethanol.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: The gas gas, you know. No. What's it called? Natural gas.
• 31:29
  Seth Holehouse: Oh, okay. Yeah. I haven't seen many of those. I mean, my kind of strategy with that is diesel, right? So diesel has a very long shelf life if you treat it.
• 31:39
  You know, there's different kinds of treatments you can use to prevent the algae growth. And so probably about a year and a half ago, I went out and bought a 300 gallon diesel tank, and it had it filled up. And so I also have a diesel tractor. And so, you know, that diesel will last I mean, if I if I keep it treated, it should last at least five years plus. And True.
• 31:57
  So, you know, I've thought about maybe, you know, trading in my truck for a diesel truck because then, you know, 300 gallons, if you're being really conservative, goes a long way. So
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Very long way. Yeah. Yeah. And you can also create biodiesel. I mean, it's it's a it's a approach that's possible.
• 32:15
  There's always a way to have your to have your car fueled.
• 32:21
  Seth Holehouse: Exactly. I've actually been considering looking into getting maybe in the future some sort of electric, like, say, a moped or small motorcycle or something because then I can just use solar and say I need to go run, you know, 10 miles away into the market. And you say gasoline is $20 a gallon or who knows what. That's something I've considered as well. Just having a little basic electric vehicle that can be charged with with solar.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly. There there I mean, there's there's no problem doing that, I think. I mean electric car is one thing but if you can charge it yourself, like my parents have an electric car they charge them themselves because they were like okay if any time the government decides okay you're not going to get electricity anymore they could just still charge it. But yeah the batteries wear off and I think after a couple of years they're not that efficient anymore depending on how much you use the car. But I'm not fond of this electric movement especially.
• 33:18
  I mean, if they come always up with the c o two balance or yeah. How much c o two we use. I mean, just the creation, the production of a battery uses that much or needs that much c o two that's that actually shows the hypocrisy of those who push this agenda.
• 33:35
  Seth Holehouse: Oh, exactly. Exactly. So diving back into your article, next one I think is huge. Rejecting vaccination and c o two passports and digital IDs. That's a big one.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: That's that's a huge one. I'm not a big fan of all of this. It doesn't make sense just to control us. So maybe at some point we will have to we will be might need digital ID because if they say you can't travel without it's it's an issue. But I mean like rejecting it is I think it's important going demonstration, telling online everybody that like what they try to do with it.
• 34:13
  I mean like it's it goes into a social credit system. It will be there. So if people are aware, they more people reject and the the highest likelihood that they will not that they will not implement it the way they are they're planning to do. Yeah. Being self sufficient regarding water, food, and electricity, we talked about this.
• 34:31
  It's I think it's important owning your own land and farm. It's super cheap to get a land in a countryside super cheap. I mean, for $10,000, you can get say one, two, three acres, I think in Ohio.
• 34:43
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. We If it's We bought our our an extra three acre lot, and I think it was like maybe $7,000 an acre. So and, you know, we we didn't need that, but that three acres is I mean, that's enough for us to produce more food than our family and our immediate family could ever possibly eat, especially if we're using Exactly. Permaculture methods and, you know, swales and, you know, those kinds of things as well. The the ability to maximize the food is just incredible.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I totally agree. Even three acres is enough for I think 30 people. Yeah. Including meat.
• 35:20
  So I mean on one acre I think it's two cows. And two cows oh lord. You can you can eat meat for one cow gives you meat for more than one year if you eat lots of meat. So yeah. Let's see.
• 35:36
  Point number nine is insist on privacy. I I own Kali o x KaliX OS mobile phone. I have one running Apple which I used to so if I want to have all these apps that doesn't require banking, etcetera. But I go on the street with Kali KaliX OS. Just that Google doesn't know where I'm going.
• 35:57
  They are they're tracking movements which I which I don't like. It's kind of scary.
• 36:02
  Seth Holehouse: It is.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Privacy, don't use Google too much. I mean, sometimes you need to use it to understand. Sometimes if I want to use search or Brave then just they don't give the results I need so I go to Google. But I use adblocks and cookie blocks.
• 36:22
  Yeah. Paying with cash. I'll go back to this. So at some point it was super convenient just to to use the the credit card or like the debit card all the time. Yeah.
• 36:33
  But I got going back to cash. I know. Go to the the bank, I get cash and I confuse people. Because in Brazil nobody pays with cash. Just me entering.
• 36:42
  People are like, what is this? I'm like, yeah, pay with cash. I don't want the government to know what I bought, know? Because this is also, yeah. I mean, what I buy is connected to to my credit card.
• 36:56
  And and just imagine I buy two, three crates of beer for me and my friends for having a party and they're like, okay. The insurance company will then get the information to from I don't know whom. They select, okay. The chance this guy is an alcoholic is very high. We're not gonna we're not gonna support him in the future.
• 37:11
  So that's why I I like using cash.
• 37:15
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. I'm even trying to start using silver. Obviously, I can't walk into the grocery store with it and, you know, pay. But for local bartering, if I have, say, friends or, you know, people that are, you know, kind of like minded, or I'm saying, hey, can I give you, say, five ounces of silver instead of giving you, say, you know, $200 in cash, can I give you the equivalent in silver? Because to me, that's the it's one of the ultimate ways of getting of rejecting their system is, you know, really building up the use of these alternative currencies, which I think will happen as, you know, you talked about earlier, as the dollar comes closer to its collapse and they're gonna want us to, you know, be forced into central bank digital currency.
• 37:51
  I think that naturally a lot of parallel economies will emerge, and a lot of people just like the vaccine. You know, like, a large portion of the population did not take it. Even though they they they tried everything possible to make them do it. So I think when they try to roll out their central bank digital currency, a lot of people would say, like, no. Like, this is this is too far.
• 38:09
  I'm just gonna go back to, you know, bartering or even I'm not sure what the gun laws are like in Brazil, but even having ammunition. Right? So if even say a box of nine millimeter ammunition could be traded for, you know, 30 pounds of beef. Who knows? Right?
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Exactly. And it's not taxable. So if you give your neighbor one ounce of of silver, they can't tax it. That's the fun part about it.
• 38:37
  So I really like this getting things locally, be it eggs, silver or even crypto. They also can't track it. So it's untrackable. But I think with the digital dollar they will make quite more money because nowadays they can still bypass the system by paying with cash to someone else and that it's not being taxed. They want to have more control.
• 39:04
  Digital currency gives more control but there are people, there will be lots of people who say oh no I don't want to participate. And the latest when they when they close bank accounts for for having a low social credit score or something you know people are forced to use different payment methods. And I think we will get there. But we will see maybe it's maybe it's maybe it's too negative my my view. But we might get there.
• 39:30
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. Yeah. So I'll pull the list back up.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Homeschooling, I know it's possible in The US, but in many countries you get a fine and they take your child away. Yeah. Yes. It's it's crazy. It's really crazy.
• 39:47
  But of course what you can do is an additional to to the normal school, tell the tell the children like hey what you learn there is nonsense and you can teach the child good values at home or any local community be it a church or be it whatever you know. Connect to blind minded people, you talked about this. I think it's important because one of the most important needs for a human being is just like we are social animals and they're trying to take it away from us by saying stay inside, don't meet your friends, don't meet your family. And they're trying to break you like this and the best is to meet friends and family. So what we did in The Netherlands, we had these lockdowns and we weren't even allowed to see friends or not even have a party or anything unless it's a business meeting.
• 40:37
  So my friends in The Netherlands were all registering a one person company. We had to fill in an online form, print it out, sign it, and we just had parties. And the police was knocking at the door and saying like, hey, this is going be a big fine. We all showed them it's a meeting. It's just like, ah, meeting with some beers, but look, here are our documents.
• 40:57
  We're allowed to do this. And the police was like, fuck you. But they couldn't do anything because we were I mean, it's the law. We all had our personal company. We just had a meeting.
• 41:07
  The post meeting beer. Mean, the Ken forbid it and the law didn't say it. So we also tricked the system, but that's how they tried it. And people stayed inside locked in the house for such a long time and not seeing grandma, grandpa died alone. It was a drama.
• 41:24
  But I mean it's planned, it was a planned drama.
• 41:27
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah exactly, it really was.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Taking responsibility for your own health it's I think it's the most important thing. Don't trust the government. Eat your eggs, eat your meat, eat healthy food, grow it yourself, take vitamin D, take magnesium, take everything that people are deficient even if you grow your own meat and food in general. So take responsibility for your own health. It also means exercising, sleeping more than eight hours a night just like the general stuff that grandma used to do.
• 41:59
  Turn off your TV. The best is not even own a TV. So yeah. I I don't watch TV at all. I have an old one.
• 42:08
  We just connected but it's never it's never on sometimes I watch a football match but in my general house where 90% of my time I don't even own a TV. So there's there's nothing just books. And of course I have my I have a tablet. I have a cell phone so that's how I get connected to the Internet. I get information from channels that I trust.
• 42:29
  But watching the TV is like the the worst city ever. Maybe Tucker Carlson is alright. Yeah. Continue expressing your opinion. I was when I was a scientist and I was still, I mean I got fired twice when I was still employed.
• 42:43
  I had to do some degree of self censorship, which I hated, but I took to understand. So there I couldn't say like, oh, the climate thing is probably also a hoax. Couldn't say publicly. I would be fired right away. So but that way I just got fired two months later.
• 42:58
  But there's a degree of self censorship you everybody is doing. I mean like even we are doing this at any time of the day. But to reduce this degree of self censorship I think it's important then. Still trying to be honest to yourself while not being radical and calling for violence. I think this is important because violence doesn't lead anywhere.
• 43:20
  I mean it will happen automatically like in the French Revolution but you shouldn't call for violence and you shouldn't be a violent person. I think this is important but still express your ideas. And if there is someone coming, so like I don't agree with you, listen to this person. I think it's the best because if you listen to the person, the person is also most likely to listen to you. Okay.
• 43:41
  Not if you are a totally extremist leftist liberal, but don't listen to any any any opinion. But, in general these people are willing to listen to you as well and maybe change their view over time.
• 43:54
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. That's an important one as well is that I find that in my own experience when talking to people that have differing views than me, if I left if I listen to them first, and I show genuine interest in what they're talking about, even if I disagree with it, they're they're way more likely to say, well, what do you think about it? And that's the is you like, that's that's you know, lot of people are asking, how do we awaken our friends and family? Like, to me, that's the only way is that you can't force them. You have to ask them through your actions, get to a point where they're they're saying, you know, Simon, you were telling me about the vaccine six months ago, and I didn't listen.
• 44:29
  But what is actually going on here? Right? You wait for that moment, and I think it just takes patience and and kind of kindness for people. But I think that that's a key one.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And also if people insult you, they call you for example, hey, you're an anti vaxxer. Just say, yes, I am. Then it's over. If you say like, no.
• 44:48
  No. No. And you try to no. It doesn't lead anywhere. So if they say, oh, you're a Nazi.
• 44:52
  Oh, I am. What makes me a Nazi? No. Tell me what makes me a Nazi? You know, it's always like this.
• 44:57
  And then people start thinking, they're like, well, I don't have an argument for that. So maybe he's not a Nazi after all. So that's how I try to go into conversations. It's not like, oh, hang Fauci. It doesn't lead anywhere.
• 45:08
  I mean, like, it's it's not an argument. Know? It's not a good argument. You don't convince people like that. So I think this is learning how to how to have a good conversation discussion and agreeing to disagree.
• 45:20
  I think it's something we need to get back to and people need to understand to do this again.
• 45:25
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah precisely precisely. Okay so you covered exercises and you're exercising and eating
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: healthy. Yes local products I covered Nestle, PepsiCo, Kraft. It's all toxic to a high degree. I I buy sometimes a bit of ketchup, know, or make it myself with honey and tomatoes. But I mean, there there is some unhealthy stuff.
• 45:50
  I mean, like everybody's sometimes people are having ice cream. I don't eat sugar but people love it sometimes. Nothing wrong with this but just try to avoid it. Practice spirituality. Yeah I think you're religious.
• 46:05
  I'm faithful and not really religious but I'm faithful I believe in what you believe in. But I think it's good to have a community with the same values. And this can be people who really who think, who believe in energy, who believe in karma. It all leads to the same thing you know. Being spiritual for something great out there who's who just wants the best for us.
• 46:36
  So if you have this this idea, this attitude, I think it's it it gets you somewhere and it's it's relieving your soul. It's good for the soul. It's better than being full of hatreds and say like, you anti vexers, you know you know these people. Yeah. Investing part of money on gold, crypto on land.
• 46:53
  We talked about this. Crypto, I think. I'm not really into crypto. I have some crypto. Just have bitcoin, I think.
• 47:02
  So I was like, hey. If if something really going going down and people although people everybody buys crypto and gets to 1,000,000, I'm I'm covered. So this is my this is my attitude. But I I believe more in paying with with with something that's more tangled, you know, eggs or or silver or gold. This is this is my or even land.
• 47:20
  I have several hectares and I can say, hey, I rent one hectare of land who, you know, who wants to live on this hectare and you just just pay me a bit? Something like this. Ditching them I was writing it back in the time, ditching the masks. I mean, they're ditched almost everywhere in the world right now. I think back then it was very important.
• 47:38
  I've been wearing a mask I think twice very shortly just to to pass security point at the airport. And otherwise I never I never been wearing a mask. I I always smiled at people. And 99% of people were like happy. You can see in the eyes, know, they they make they get like this.
• 47:57
  And the the other one person was getting mad at me, I was just ignoring it. I mean, what should I do?
• 48:02
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. That's also one of the things I did too. I just I I've had all all kinds of different different responses for people. Or I found that a lot of times, you know, I walk into a grocery store, and they would say, sir, you need wear a mask. I just say, No, I don't.
• 48:15
  That was it. I didn't argue with them. I said, No, I just keep going.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: And a lot of
• 48:19
  Seth Holehouse: times they don't know how to handle it. They're like, okay. And then if a manager would come and find me, would just say like, I can't. Like, I I refuse to. Or I'd tell them my beard actually filters out the coronavirus particles instead of because I have a beard, I don't need
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: to wear a mask. Exactly. And there's on the other side, you could see many of these pseudoscientists who had also beard like you and were wearing a mask, you know. It was like, well, why didn't you why didn't you help yourself? Well, well, well, they don't have an argumentation because masks just like cause harm.
• 48:50
  They don't help. They never worked and they never will work. We knew this all along. So yeah, but wearing a mask for me was like the biggest sign of compliance. Rejecting to wear masks.
• 49:03
  I even didn't wear them here. Was just I wasn't wearing one at all. I'm autistic and I got a certificate that autistic people in Brazil don't have to wear them. And I was just using it as an excuse. Because twice I got they didn't wanna let me board the airplane.
• 49:20
  I was just like, you're discriminating against autistic people and this is a serious case. I will sue you. And biggest yeah. Sorry. Sorry.
• 49:28
  You get free alcohol on the plane. The reaction was always like that. So if people came up to me, would just make them look like they are discriminating against me. And they don't like their own medicine. They really don't like that.
• 49:40
  They get really really really frustrated and that was fun to see. But yeah. That was that was my strategy. But not everybody had like had like this certificate or has it. But it's good that people didn't comply.
• 49:55
  And I also saw so in my countryside close to my jungle house, nobody was wearing a mask. Now and then you saw a person wearing a mask and like just like, that's weird. But I mean, that's a very conservative area where I'm living. And hardly anyone there believed in what the government was telling. Especially because Bolsonaro was also against masks.
• 50:18
  You know at least conservative people were like okay that's bullshit so they didn't wear it. But in Sao Paulo Ninety Percent of the people on the streets were wearing a mask on the streets. Mean like outside in the nature, even alone driving a car alone, they were wearing masks. It was that was kind of funny to see. But that's that's how I got to know what what fear makes to people and where it leads us.
• 50:39
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: So everybody complying.
• 50:41
  Seth Holehouse: And so your final port point here is support unbiased scientists and politicians. I think this is so important. You know, whether it's sharing interviews like this, sharing information, subscribing to Substack, donating. So this is to put folks know that you're so you're Substack, and I'll put the links in the description of the show. It's, doctor Simon dot Substack dot com.
• 51:06
  I also think people should be following you on Twitter. That's how you and I became acquainted acquainted on there, which is just, you know, this it's just, what? Gottic Gottic, et al. Right? So that's your you know, people can find you on Twitter there.
• 51:20
  But also, you've got because I think one of the biggest ways that I think that we should support people is by fueling the alternative economy and fueling the parallel economy. And so you've also got a business that you started, which I want you to tell us about because this is also a way people can support you, but it's also a way that people can pull money out of big pharma and out of the big corporations. And so so you're
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: And support themselves. Exactly. So this is my startup after I got canceled the third time professionally. I started my my own business. I was like, okay.
• 51:51
  I'm gonna get canceled again, canceled again. So the best thing is to be independent. So I made this website literally myself. I made the logo myself. Everything just like I wanted.
• 52:02
  I called it Sunfluencer because there's one thing I hate, it's influences. I was like, hey let's do it a good let's be a good influencer. Let's do it a Sunfluencer. And it's a high quality vitamin D product which contains vitamin D and K2 and magnesium. And they're all necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D.
• 52:21
  And usually vitamin D products have very low ingredient of vitamin d. So they're usually one thousand unit, intentional units four hundred or even two thousand. This is five thousand. It gets you to an adequate vitamin d level, contains K2 which is countering calcification. So you can actually take these high amount of units and it includes magnesium because it's totally required for enzymatic activity.
• 52:49
  So eighty percent of the people in The US are magnesium deficient. And if you don't take magnesium, vitamin D will not end up in the form you need, the bioavailable form. So I included everything in this product and I'm offering it to a very good price. I think it's $48, but you can if you if you order more, have like a big discount. And yeah, the ingredients itself are very very very high quality.
• 53:17
  And if you buy all these ingredients in single forms, a) you pill, you have to swallow way more pills and you pay much more than that. So this actually covers your whole health. Besides one thing that's missing, omega-three which I consider very important. Omega three in form of EPA and DHA but this will be the full up pro product which I will offer. So as a combination of those two and actually you just eat whatever you eat, eat healthy and take these products and your health will be at a totally different level.
• 53:51
  Seth Holehouse: Well, good. Well, I think this is the part of the parallel economy is getting away from big pharma, which is as you talked about taking responsibility for our health, getting the vitamins and everything. So that way, you know, even, you know, eating non GMO is a big thing. So I remember seeing there were some studies that were showing that people that were eating, especially pesticide laden foods with, you know, Monsanto chemicals all over them, that they were more likely to have stronger adverse effects to the vaccines. That they the vaccine was actually, you know, kind of in know, counteracting with the or interacting with those, you know, those those pesticides, everything.
• 54:28
  Was even worse for people. So so anyway, so, Simon, it has been what a fun conversation. I really appreciate what you're doing. I appreciate the voice you have out there. I encourage folks to follow your work and to support you and buy some vitamins on sunfluencer.com.
• 54:44
  Do you have any final closing thoughts for people?
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. I think it's just the most important thing is to be yourself and to be honest to yourself. That's what I figured out for myself. Like do what you really believe in and don't pretend to be part of something you don't want to be. So which is now part of the big part of society.
• 55:12
  And don't be afraid to start a new beginning just like you and on three acres growing your own food. I think this is brave and I want more people to be brave and and do the same.
• 55:25
  Seth Holehouse: Well, great. Well, thank you, Simon. It's great to have you on. Really appreciate it.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
• 55:31
  Seth Holehouse: Alright, folks. I hope you enjoyed that interview. I've now got a very critical economic update for you with Doctor. Kirk Elliott. Some really important information has come out in this past week about the status of the US dollar and some data that's showing us exactly where it's at in the dedollarization process.
• 55:49
  And we've also got some really critical information about the central bank digital currencies. And a real example, I've got a video showing you a real example of what happened in a country in Africa where they rolled out a central bank digital currency, no one accepted it, and how they forced people into accepting it. So folks, this is gonna be a critical economic update with Doctor. Kirk Elliott. Kirk, as usual, it's great seeing you.
• 56:15
  And as usual, there is a lot to talk about.
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: There's so much. I mean and even even just this week, we've got inundated with earnings reports and real estate reports and and applications for new mortgages and pending home sales and GDP numbers. I mean, literally, it's it's a busy, busy week. And normally, in in the investment world, perception is reality. Right?
• 56:43
  People will respond to news bites, you know, thirty second news segments and hearing Jim Kramer shouting from the rooftops and it's like, oh, I got to make a change. Right? Well, this week is not about perception. This week is about reality as some of these numbers come up. Now, you have to have wisdom to discern because you know the inflation numbers are gonna be cooked.
• 57:01
  Right? You know that the unemployment numbers are gonna be cooked. Right? They're gonna they're gonna just mutilate their true meaning of those. But new housing sales?
• 57:11
  Hey. You can't hide in the woods on that one. Pending mortgages, you can't hide in the woods on that one. Right? There's so much that's coming out.
• 57:20
  And what I wanted, you know, to share with people, it's like when you've got official inflation hovering at over 6%, right? I mean, unofficially, it's over 20%, but their numbers are 6%. Well, what is gross domestic product? It's the reflection of everything that we buy at current prices, which should have inflation built into it. So if GDP numbers are not what inflation is, you know that the economy is shrinking, right?
• 57:48
  Because that's just the math. That's how the math would work. So I'm expecting GDP numbers to be at, like, 1.7 to to 3%, somewhere in this weird range when inflation's at six. Even if it's at three and inflation's over six, means the economy is contracting by, like, half. Right?
• 58:04
  So so these are the numbers. When you understand how the puzzle pieces fit together, it paints a really horrible picture for the economy, which is why this week or actually last week, you you saw McCarthy. I mean, the the speaker of the house, you know, just ranting and raving about, we've got this debt ceiling. We have to stop raising the debt ceiling. It's just implications.
• 58:30
  There's problems here. But what are they gonna do? Don't raise the debt ceiling because they're politicians. They have to. If you don't raise the debt ceiling, government shuts down.
• 58:40
  They don't get votes. Right? So you can say all you want in political speak, but the bottom line is they're gonna keep kicking the can down the road, create more inflation, which is gonna wreak more havoc on the markets, cause more erosion to the US dollar and to the American family. I mean, this is what it's boiling down to, but this week is not about perception. This week is about numbers coming out.
• 59:05
  There's a ton of reports. And you know what? We're just gonna identify them. The markets aren't gonna act very kindly to them. I don't see how they could because these aren't gonna be good reports, especially the housing numbers.
• 59:20
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. And so one of these numbers that, you know, you and I were talking about before the show, which I'm gonna pull up an article for, like, to me is the most significant and shocking of almost any number that we could be talking about. And so, you you and I have we we've been talking for quite some time about dedollarization, the US dollar losing its reserve status. And a year ago, it seemed like it was more of a conspiracy. And I saw a lot of people saying, look, you know, the people that are, you know, pro gold and silver have been saying this for years, warning about the dollar collapse.
• 59:52
  And and so, you know, you could say, okay. Well, is it really going to, or are we seeing all the signs and we're not really sure when it's gonna happen? But some information recently came out that, in my opinion, and I'd love to get your opinion on this, is the most damning information against the US dollar. And, I mean, it's almost as if it's a real time status report on how far the dollar has fallen and how far it's gonna continue to fall. So let me go and pull up this article.
• 1:00:22
  It's on our our favorite website, Zero Hedge. So this article titled it says it's a defund the poll the global police moment. Right? Saying, you know, defund America. Right?
• 1:00:34
  Jen so Steve Steven Jen, who's a former, I think, Morgan Stanley, he has big financial guy. So Jen says, dedollarization is happening at a stunning pace. So I've got a few things highlighted I'm gonna read for folks here. So it starts off, over the fast over the last few weeks, it has seen you can't turn a page, blink at a pixel, or hear a news report without some form of dedollarization headline shrieking at you. From Brazil to Saudi Arabia and from India to Argentina, an increasing number of nations are reportedly shifting away from the dollar hegemon.
• 1:01:06
  So if we scroll down here, he says, but below the surface, the dollar's fecal matter is striking, rotating objects at an increasing pace. Funny visual there. And Stephen Ginn, infamous for his corning of the of the dollar's small Morgan Stanley, which posits that the US dollar tends to do well when the economy is soaring or slumping, recently quantified just how rapidly the de dollarization is occurring. So Jin, who now runs money at, Eurizon SLJ, warned in a recent briefing note that the dollar is losing its reserve status at a faster pace than generally accepted as many analysts have failed to account for last year's frantic swings in exchange rates. So he says, quote, the dollar suffered a stunning collapse in 2022 in its market share as a reserve currency.
• 1:01:57
  So this is a key point here, Kirk, is that and I I really wanna get your thoughts on this, but when we're diving into what it means that that it has a collapse in its market share as a reserve currency. So as the Financial Time reports, so Jen estimates that if you adjust for if you adjust for price changes, the dollar share of official global reserve currencies, It's gone from about 73% in 02/2001 to around 55% in 02/2021. And then last year, it fell to 47% of total global reserves. So here's the chart they have there. And for the people that are watching, you can see it.
• 1:02:37
  If you're listening, I'll describe it to you. You see these the the line chart with the black representing the USD basically showing that, you know, it moved from, as he mentioned, it was 73%. So 73% of all reserve currencies were held in dollars as I understand it. And it's now dropped below 50% to 47%. You can see this chart, and that's bad news.
• 1:03:04
  Like, this is you wanna talk about the process of de dollarization or the process of of the dollar losing its status as a reserve currency. This is the graph showing that status on its way to disappearing. So he continues, he goes on to ominously explain that the USD is losing its market share as a reserve currency at a much faster rate than is commonly believed. And that's the kicker right there. The fact that it's it's at a much faster rate than people believed.
• 1:03:34
  And so last quote here, he says, the greenback's share in global reserves slid last year at 10 times the average speed of the last two decades as a number of countries looked for alternatives after Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine triggered sanctions. So that's a crazy figure right there, Kirk, that that its share in global reserves slid last year, and we weren't talking about this year yet. Like, everyone's abandoning it this year. But it slid last year 10 times the average speed of the past two decades. This what we're seeing is it's falling off a cliff.
• 1:04:09
  So, anyway, I wanted to talk about that because you you're talking about the numbers that paint the picture of reality. And to me, this is like earth shattering information.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: Well, and it's earth shattering. And we don't haven't even seen the most earth shattering numbers yet because this is last year. Right? And we haven't seen what's happened over the last three weeks when when Brazil cut a bilateral trade agreement with China to trade in the yuan, when Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Russia cut a trilateral agreement to trade in the ruble, when Iran and and Russia cut a bilateral trade agreement to trade in the rupee, when when Mexico wants to actually join forces with the BRICS nations, when Japan is pulling out and buying oil from Russia. Right?
• 1:04:54
  There's all these countries that's gaining momentum that those recent things over the last three weeks haven't even been reflected in these numbers yet. Right? So this is where we we started to head after the Russia Ukraine conflict. And and what caused a lot of this de dollarization. Really, it it it to me, it kind of has this tip of the funnel when when the Biden administration decided they were gonna kick Russia out of the SWIFT system.
• 1:05:25
  Right? And so what are which is basically all international settlements, the basically, all wires going into Russia to pay for things. I said Biden said, oh, we're ticked at you because of the Ukraine conflict, and so therefore, we're going to put these nuclear option of economic sanctions on you. No wires going in or out. So what did Russia do?
• 1:05:46
  Russia did what what any country would do. They did what I would do if I had some country put economic sanctions on me. I'm gonna take care of my people. So Putin went to China, said, hey, China. We got a problem here.
• 1:05:59
  We got a lot of oil. We got a lot of gas. We got a lot of agricultural stuff, and my people are gonna starve. How about if we join our forces even more? Right?
• 1:06:08
  So they because China already had the SIPPS program, c I p s, which is like swift. And so then they pulled this in. Well, it was that one moment that now got the ball rolling in this snowball effect of country after country after country after country leaving the Western financial system, the transparency of transactions that we can see through that. So now you've got I mean, let's think about it. You've got arms dealers.
• 1:06:34
  You've got you've got drug dealers. You've got money laundering. You've got all these transactions between countries that the West has no more visibility to because it's out of the SWIFT program and it's in their own. So who knows what they're doing behind the scenes? But what we do know is like, okay, this attack, if we join forces with each other economically to be the world's reserve currency, you need a few things to actually be the world's reserve currency.
• 1:07:02
  Somebody can't just say, we want to be the world's reserve currency. So, I mean, I want to dunk a basketball. Physically impossible. So it doesn't matter what people want, but what are the things that are needed? Okay, you need a strong economy, you need a strong military, you need political clout.
• 1:07:23
  Well, individually, these countries don't have it. China doesn't have it. Russia doesn't have it. India doesn't have it. But collectively together, it's like, okay, now they really do.
• 1:07:33
  So you've got that framework set up. So now if you continue to dismantle by taking away, and this is the big thing, stripping away that petrodollar status, built in demand for the US dollar is the world's reserve currency, and cut all these bilateral trade agreements, not using US dollars. There's no more built in demand for the dollar. This is why you've seen that precipitous drop. But this year, if we looked at that chart next year, it's going to go off the bottom of the page, right?
• 1:08:04
  Because we haven't even seen the beginning of the mayhem in those charts that are being reflected. This year, it's lights out, and we're only in April. This is going to be devastating, and this is probably the year where we hit critical mass, and The US no longer is the world's reserve currency because of the elimination of the petrodollar and the momentum that has been gained by these other countries actually, diminishing demand for the US dollar by stripping away its petrodollar status, but by building a system to replace it. Right? There's two things.
• 1:08:45
  A, you have to kill what was already there to give birth to your new system, and that's exactly what's been happening over the last year.
• 1:08:55
  Seth Holehouse: And it seems like that you have two new systems that are on the horizon, and it's hard for me to really understand what the relationship between those two is, whether they're secretly coordinating on the back end or whether they're competing. But we know that we have this the new BRICS, you know, reserve currency, basket of currencies that's in the works. Zimbabwe just announced that they're gonna be backing they have a new digital currency backed by gold. But then we also have the central bank digital currency coming from the European central banks. And it seems like that for us here in America that, you know, we don't have a Putin or a Xi or a, you know, any other leader that's in charge of our country saying, we're gonna reject this the US dollar system, and we're building this other system that's going back backed by commodities.
• 1:09:40
  We're in a situation where we've got Biden that seems like he is trying to actively destroy the dollar as if there's people pulling his strings and using him, like, as a as a hand puppet to further kinda put the final nails in the coffin, which you saw that happen with the sanctions. Right? That was one of the major triggers is that that, you know, all the countries around the world realized, wow. The The United States will now weaponize their dollar if if as an act of war, basically. Like, that's what that did.
• 1:10:12
  And so if you look at the we had the FedNow that was introduced. So there's a few different videos and different things we're gonna get into right now. So we've got the FedNow system. We also have, which I'll pull up right here, the Unicoin. Right?
• 1:10:25
  Which so this was just recently announced at the IMF Spring Meetings. They announced the Unicoin. So it's like, Kirk, we've been talking about a central bank digital currency, and here we have it. It says during the last week's international IMF International Monetary Fund spring meetings, the Digital Currency Monetary Authority announced the launch of an international central bank digital currency known as the Universal Monetary Limit, which is also being referred to as the unicorn. So this is it.
• 1:11:02
  I mean, it's this is, like, what we've been so worried about is, like, literally accelerating. And then we also have the FedNow system. So I'm gonna jump to to a quick video where a guy explains the FedNow system, and I wanna go back to you and see your thoughts on this. But let's give this a quick watch because this is also significant because people are thinking, hey, well, how's it gonna work? And how can I get out from under it?
• 1:11:29
  Well, check out this video on the FedNow system.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: You need to say goodbye to Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and Cash App because Fed Now is coming and you don't have a choice. Fed Now is a payment service by the government coming out in July that your bank will have to sign up for, which is the first step to make the dollar digital. Now, how does this work? Well, if you buy something on Amazon, your money won't go directly to Amazon anymore. It will first go to the Fed's account and then go to Amazon.
• 1:11:58
  This means the government will know everything you use your money for. And if they want to, they can reject any purchase you make, take money out whenever and decide what you can and can't spend your money on. Yes, it will be faster payments to settle, easier to get stimulus, and lowers cost that you have to pay to your banks, but your privacy is gone. So is it truly worth it? And guess what?
• 1:12:18
  You don't even have a choice to participate or not. Our banks are the ones who will decide for us, so follow me to stay tuned.
• 1:12:26
  Seth Holehouse: So there we go. I mean and I've got another video to kind of show in a little bit here about how they force people in Nigeria to adapt adopt the central bank digital currency. But when you see that video on the Fed now and you see the news about the unicorn, what is this telling you?
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: Well, it tells you what's coming next. Right? I mean so so everyone's all concerned about the Fed now because this is central bank digital currency of The US. Right? Getting rid of fiat based paper dollars, which are private.
• 1:12:56
  Right? You can go to a farmer's market, you can go anywhere and still use paper dollars and nobody know that you did it. If you don't know that you spent money, it's hard to tax that. Right? So part of this is all about government revenue streams.
• 1:13:09
  The other part is completely controlling the masses, making them subservient to the big global structure, which is not just an economic thing, it's a political thing. Right? Because telling people what they can buy or sell, basically making you a slave to the system is how you can truly control people. Right? So so what that what that video said was your funds aren't gonna go directly to Amazon like they do if you use, like well, they don't technically don't go directly there now.
• 1:13:42
  If, like, if you use Visa or Mastercard, right, goes to that clearing house, and then it goes to them, and then they pay the banks. Right? So so but this one cuts out all the middlemen. Right? And it goes directly through the government to the payee and the payor.
• 1:13:59
  Right? So that it's that conduit. It's that tunnel. But in that tunnel is everything about you, your spending habits, your digital social profile. Actually, there's there's more to this tunnel like the Fed Now app than what people could possibly imagine when it's tied to your digital social profile.
• 1:14:20
  Just this morning, I read an article about Biden's next plan for getting mortgages. Anybody who has a high credit score like 700 or above is going to pay an extra $60 a month. It's like, what? I thought if you had a big, high, nice credit score, you could get a lower rate. No.
• 1:14:40
  He wants to actually help riskier buyers, but he's not having the banks do it. He's going to have people with good credit supplement the people with bad credit. This is 02/2009 on steroids. Right? 02/2009 happened because of subprime lending.
• 1:14:55
  Right? And and people getting mortgages that they shouldn't. Right? And so they made this into racial thing in this article that you have pulled up there, basically saying what what the average black community's credit score is, what the average Hispanic community credit score is, what the average white community credit score is. Anybody can have bad credit.
• 1:15:15
  Anybody can have good credit. Race has nothing to do with it. Ethnicity, political, religion has nothing to do with it. Right? So what are they doing here?
• 1:15:24
  They're starting to build your social credit score, your digital social profile, where if they simply don't like you, they're they're just going to withhold your money or charge you more or charge you less, cut you off from buying or selling altogether. All these pieces are going together. But in the banking industry right now, there's massive consolidation. Small banks are being bought by medium sized banks. Medium sized banks are being bought by the big banks.
• 1:15:53
  Because if you're going to a new system, well, it's really hard to control all of the these sheep and these lemmings. Right? All these different banks out there, thousands of them. But what if they're all controlled by the big six? It's easy to control six banks to go into your system.
• 1:16:09
  Well, then how about globally with the unicorn that you're talking about? It's like, okay. So you've got everything consolidated into the fed now, and maybe you have one of those in Asia. Maybe you have one in South Africa or South America. Maybe you've got one for the European nations and for Africa.
• 1:16:24
  You know, just bringing in these regionally regional central bank digital currency systems all into one. Right? It's easy to control a few, especially if you're all in cahoots with each other. It's really hard to control the thousands and the thousands and the thousands of different banks in different systems. They want everybody to be in the same thing.
• 1:16:45
  And this is where you're right. This this unicorn that's being put together by the kingpin of the economic globalists, that's probably it. That probably is the global centralized currency that we've all been dreading. And I think that that's probably it.
• 1:17:06
  Seth Holehouse: And so when I hear about this, it sounds again, this similar to the dedollarization, you know, we've been talking about the concern of CBDC for quite some time. And, you know, before, you know, it sounded like people could be like, okay, well, maybe eventually, but is it really gonna happen that soon? And, you know, I think for a lot of folks, it's kind of like you go into this thinking, say you watch this program and say you're really aware of this. And it's like, well, how are they gonna roll out roll it out? What's it look like?
• 1:17:35
  Will they be able to successfully roll it out? And so we I think that we have to look at other countries as examples of what they've done. And if you look at what what do we experience in the last couple of years, we experienced a mass vaccination campaign. Well, guess where those same campaigns were tested and pushed for decades before America and Africa. Africa has always been the testing ground for this stuff.
• 1:18:04
  And so I've got a video now because you and I have talked before about what's happened with Nigeria and some of the other countries over there. But I wanna bring up a video of this guy talking about how exactly the rollout of a central bank digital currency worked in Nigeria. So let me go and pull this up. And this is this video is a little bit alarming. Actually, it's very alarming, but I think we have to look at this and just be very just say, hey, let's just look at it for what it what it really is and be very sober about it.
• 1:18:35
  So I'll play this video now.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 5: Well, let me bring you up to speed. Folks, today's post is for anybody doubting that central bank digital currencies are definitely a thing and that a cashless future is absolutely imminent. Did you know that Nigeria is basically cashless now and that they have a central bank digital currency?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: After a three week delay, Nigeria's digital currency is now legal tender.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 5: In October of twenty twenty one, the central bank of Nigeria announced the e naira. Well, after about a year, only 0.5% of Nigerians signed up. Yes, big surprise. Most people don't want a central bank digital currency. They limited the amount of cash that people could withdraw from the banks and ATMs to $44 per week.
• 1:19:20
  Now, the average Nigerian needs $40 per day to survive.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 7: A long queues at ATMs and banks nationwide. Oftentimes in the middle of the night and up to seven hours long.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 8: Scenes of destruction are evidence at different banks. Some have had their windows smashed and ATM pawns damaged.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 6: Still a tug of war to get cash is signed. Now the cashless policy of the CBN is yet to fade into the system.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 5: They banned cash. The government came out in October of twenty twenty two and said that they're no longer accepting the old banknotes. So they said, we're gonna give you new banknotes. But then the banks stopped issuing the new ones, people couldn't get the new ones. And then nobody could get any cash anymore.
• 1:19:59
  You can't use the old ones, and you can't get the new ones.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 8: Cash shortage sparked by the replacement of paper notes, a crisis which has left people cashless and has forced businesses to close.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: The ATMs are not working. Even when you walk into the bank, they will tell you they are not giving up that money, that they don't have the cash. The banks are making the new naira load very difficult for Nigerians to assess.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: So what happened? A 60% increase in people who are using CBDCs because guess what? Children were starting to starve. They starved their own people into adopting central bank digital currency. And so this is a case study.
• 1:20:33
  This is a cautionary tale. The world leaders are taking notes on this, and we, the people, need to take notes on this. Only the American people can stop this because if the central bank digital currency happens there, it's gonna happen everywhere, especially here in Canada. Write a letter to your congressman, your representative. Keep the pressure up.
• 1:20:48
  Keep your eye on this. Make sure Congress does not approve the move to a central bank digital currency. And if you don't think that a central bank digital currency and a cashless society, just like Nigeria, isn't coming here, then you need to be a little bit more sophisticated in your thinking. Because why would we allow Nigeria, a developing country, to have a more advanced technology and payment system than us? Of course not.
• 1:21:10
  We're the first world. We have to be more advanced. We have to have better technology than them. People actually died in the streets. There was rioting.
• 1:21:15
  They didn't care. They burned down the banks. They don't want the banks to exist. They want the banks gone now. They don't care about the banks.
• 1:21:20
  They don't care about the riots in the streets. They don't care about the kids and the families that are starving, adults who aren't even eating food. So
• 1:21:29
  Seth Holehouse: that to me has been I've been reading up almost, you know, like an addiction on understanding what's happening with the dollar and the central bank digital currency. And that video put it together for me better than I've seen any anywhere so far. And the big part about it just being how this is how they work. They will use whatever leverage possible to bring this system in. So even like in Nigeria, for instance, when they went from being a 0.5% adoption rate to 60%, what they do?
• 1:22:07
  They got rid of cash, and they basically made it so you couldn't even feed your family. So this is why, I mean, this is why we talk so much about prepping in all different aspects. But anyway, before we get into that, I mean, what what did you think about that video, Kirk?
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: Well, it's it's really creepy, but but yet not surprising because we've talked about this, Seth. We've talked about how if you want compliance with something, you create a crisis that's so bad that if it's so bad, people will give up their freedoms. They will give up their they they'll give up pretty much everything in exchange for perceived peace and security. What's more important to food to a family? Hardly anything.
• 1:22:51
  Right? So when they needed when most Nigerians need $40 a day, they limit it to $40 a week. How are you gonna survive? Right? Truly, how how are you gonna survive?
• 1:23:01
  That's only surviving one out of one day out of the week in reality. So what about the rest of the time? So it's like, well, we'll take care of you. We'll take care of you. Just sign your life away here.
• 1:23:13
  And it's like, boom. That's how they got up from point five to 60% compliance. See, but I don't see how that's going to differ in any other region, any other country around the world when it comes right down to it. And nobody wants to give up their freedom, which is why they had point 5% adoption rate at the beginning. Nobody wants to give up something to a government run bank that has the ability to cut you off from buying or selling.
• 1:23:39
  Who would? I mean, that's that's a horrible thing to say. Yeah. That sounds great to me. Nobody wants that.
• 1:23:45
  But whether whether you're forced with eating, sure. Now let's let's just do it. You know, let's talk to your wife and say, okay. Let's just do it. How about here in America?
• 1:23:56
  Fed now. What if how how many people are gonna want that? Not probably very many at first, but what if every government worker? What about people on Social Security? What about people getting their their government pension?
• 1:24:08
  Say, okay. You want your government pensions? Forced to comply or else we're just not gonna pay you. This is the new system. Right?
• 1:24:15
  It's like, okay. Well, boy, kinda think this that this might truly be the mark of the beast, but alright. We gotta feed ourselves. Right? I mean, people are going to be snookered into these things out of eating, out of survival.
• 1:24:31
  Right? And and the case in Nigeria, very good case study. I mean, this is how it happens.
• 1:24:37
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. I mean, this is that's literally one of the things in the back of my mind. You know, when we're spent all morning today outside working, you know, building our garden beds, you know, planting, you know, getting ready. That's exactly what's on my mind when I'm thinking about what what is one of the scenarios I'm preparing for. It's it's it's that.
• 1:24:58
  Because of that, you know, of that 59.5% of people that didn't want the central bank digital currency and then were forced to get it, I would say that they were forced to get it for a few reasons. One is they probably did not have a store of food, enough food, so that they were now they couldn't feed their family. So they had to go out and abide by that system. They probably did not have any cash outside the bank or very little cash outside the bank, because you could see that one of the things they did is they just stopped they just stopped allowing withdrawals. So if people if they would have thought ahead and had some money outside the banking system that would have given them a little bit of safety net, and and my guess is that they didn't have any of their assets in other forms other than just that local currency.
• 1:25:44
  And so all, you know, all three of those items basically turned them into a slaves to the system. And it's just like in Ukraine after the the war kinda kicked off, they introduced the the universal basic income, basically, where they're gonna be giving people money to help kind of compensate, but they were gonna require that you got your your jab passport. And that's how it works. It's like, so all the people that even that resisted getting that thing, they said, you know what, I'm not gonna get it. You know, I don't believe in it for whatever reason.
• 1:26:14
  If if you if if it's now if you wanna feed your family, you have to go get your third booster, your fourth booster. That's where this is all headed. But what you can see, though, even in Nigeria is that 40% of people still chose not to comply. And that's what gives me faith in this because I believe that there's a lot of Americans that will just say like, I'm not gonna comply. And I think that you're gonna have, you know, it's like, okay, well, you can't get cash anymore.
• 1:26:40
  Well, we're just gonna barter. Like, you know, I'll give you some rice and you give me some gasoline. I'll give you a chicken. You give me some bullets. But I also think we're gonna see a parallel economy, a rise in alternative currencies as well.
• 1:26:53
  But so what are you what are your thoughts on just how that would play out here in America?
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: Well, when you have something that's so egregious and so bad, the central bank digital currency, you're gonna have so many people groups that this reminds me of Pelosi when basically, I don't know if it was the CARES Act or what it was when she said, hey, we've got to read the we've got to pass this thing to find out what's in it. Remember that stupid statement? Well, this is like central bank digital currency. Once you have it, you're gonna realize how bad it really is. So I think from the jump, people are gonna realize this is not what we thought it was.
• 1:27:35
  This is complete loss of privacy, complete loss of freedom, and there will be, like, a revolt, so to speak. People are gonna say, we're we're not using it. But here's the thing. Once you get into it, it might be hard to get out because they have the ability to cut you off from buying or selling. So by that point, it might be too late.
• 1:27:49
  Once you are in it, I don't think you're getting your stuff out. This is why the preparedness part of it is I would much rather be nine months, six months, three months early than one day late. Right? So so as this starts to happen, there will be systems that I believe establish themselves whether what could some of them be? Silver for barter.
• 1:28:09
  Right? Just taking tangible asset and trading it back and forth to people. A gold backed currency will probably emerge, maybe quantum financial system, some other cryptocurrency. There will probably be numerous parallel economies and systems that rise up almost from the get go that we could utilize. But here's the thing.
• 1:28:28
  Once you go into that system with the part that you put in there, it's gonna be very, very difficult to get it out. Right? So I would encourage everybody. When you see your bank unleashing fed now, don't do it. Really, find a different bank.
• 1:28:40
  Find something else. Buy yourself some time to get yourself more prepared because we don't want that. We don't want big brother on our on our one of our most basic freedoms, our ability to buy or sell what we want to and use the money that we worked really hard to accumulate to tell somebody, yeah, you can buy this or you can't. It's like, who are you to say? Right?
• 1:29:03
  But they're telling us that all the time. Yeah. And and this is gonna be
• 1:29:07
  Seth Holehouse: really bad. Dare they? You know, like, we work so hard, and we're already paying off huge amounts of money to the IRS and a corrupt government, and they now wanna say that we're gonna control how you spend. I mean, it's like, it it boils my blood to think. It makes me wanna spend it, like, get so far out of that system, you know, that it's like it's just yeah.
• 1:29:29
  It really, really gets under my skin.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Me too. And people should get out of that system. And you can with tangible assets. Like, that's an easy one to start with now.
• 1:29:40
  Right? Other stuff will start to manifest itself down the road and different strategies will develop. But but I love it where you talk about preparedness food, Seth. I love it that that we can have silver for barter that we we can get out of, you know, get out of something that's digital. You don't wanna be a digital slave in somebody's digital world.
• 1:29:57
  Right? So get something that's real. Get something that's tangible, whether it's investing into metals through your IRA or non IRA, whether it's investing into weird to think of food as an investment, but it is. Yeah. Right?
• 1:30:11
  So some long term storage food. Invest in the things that provides sustainability moving forward and and how you live. Right? Whether it's whether it's a chicken coop. I mean, some people like me, I'm I'm I'm a city slacker.
• 1:30:27
  Right? We live in Downtown Denver. Some of those things are not feasible for me. So therefore, you get long term storage food. Right?
• 1:30:34
  Just get some cans every time you go to the grocery store, get a few more. Right? I mean, just start to do what you can do to move forward. And here's the complaint I get from a lot of people. It's like, Kirk, can't afford it.
• 1:30:44
  We can't even afford to live, let alone just do a little bit extra. Then I would urge you, find something that you can pull out. Anything. Right? It's like, I don't I don't know.
• 1:30:56
  Everybody's budget's gonna be different, but this is an important enough thing where you should reassess and start to do whatever you can do to protect yourself with food with your finances. Right? But here's the thing, if you can't afford it, well, at least then then allocate your your IRAs or retirement plans into something that's growing like silver, which is up over 20% in the last two and a half weeks. That's incredible. Ultimately, you can maybe sell off some of your growth assets to buy some of these things that you couldn't afford because the income's not there.
• 1:31:26
  Right? Just start. Just get in the right path, get in the right space. Give us a call, and we'll help you navigate through that. I mean, that's what this show is all about.
• 1:31:35
  It's not about focusing on the storm, which some people think that it is. It's about focusing on the solution. Right? Because there's peace in the solution where there's turmoil and stress in the storm. Not saying that the storm's not there.
• 1:31:50
  I'm saying that there's an answer. And if we focus on the solution, that will bring peace.
• 1:31:55
  Seth Holehouse: You know, I think that we we shouldn't act out of fear, but we also shouldn't bear our heads in the sand. And looking at, you could that happen in America where one day, you know, you go to your local bank, JPMorgan Chase or whatever it is, say it's a regional bank, and they say, sorry, we don't have any more cash to give out. You know, that could be that could that could be weeks away. I mean, it really could be. Don't want be a fearmonger, but maybe it's a year away, maybe it's two years away.
• 1:32:23
  But you can see the writing on the wall, all of this is happening. And the demise of the dollar, the collapse of the currency that, you know, the Federal Reserve note we know as the US dollar, I think is just it gives them the perfect opportunity to come in and say, look, you know, fiat currencies has to have a life cycle. And the dollar because of China and Russia, you know, the dollar has now collapsed and your cash is useless. So here's your here's your digital token instead. And so, anyway, as you you talk about prepping, you know, buying food, long term storeable food, you know, rice, beans, dry food, ammunition.
• 1:33:02
  Right? Even buying, you know, boxes of nine millimeter. That's gonna be an amazing barter item. Seeds, heirloom seeds, that's gonna be huge. Right?
• 1:33:10
  Be able to produce your own food. And of course, precious metals, gold and silver. I got one final thing to kind of show as we're closing up. But it's like, do you think it's any coincidence that as this article just came out, that the central bank gold buying is at its highest since the nineteen fifties. Right?
• 1:33:27
  So that the central banks are buying gold at the highest amount since the nineteen fifties. We're seeing it. They see the writing on the wall. There's a reason why the people that know are putting their assets into precious metals. Because you're right.
• 1:33:44
  It's better to be six months, three months, four years early than to be one day late. So Kirk, if folks want to get ahold of your team, right, and set up a free consultation with you, they can visit. So we've got the URL, make it really easy on you, goldwithseth.com. If you go to the website, if you wanna do it this way, you just go scroll down. There's a really simple form that you fill out, and one of Kirk's team will get ahold of you and set up a meeting.
• 1:34:14
  So it might take a couple of weeks. Just be very patient. I know it's there's an urgency, but just being realistic for you guys have been so busy and you're still really organized, it might take a week to get a phone call. Just be just be, you know, to cut to set that that appointment up. So you can go to goldwithseth.com or call (720) 605-3900.
• 1:34:34
  Again, it's (720) 605-3900. So Kirk
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Just give yeah. I mean, look, that last one, central banks are going into gold. Why? Because they know that it's real.
• 1:34:50
  And and so if they're doing it and they realize that they need to back up their fake phony money with something that's real, we should do the same thing. They're covering themselves for their own system's demise. Well, they know that there's reward in that, so we should do the same. Right? If central banks are looking at the precious metals, right, and and, you know, they're they're they're going into gold.
• 1:35:14
  I would say go into silver because silver is outperforming gold. Still a precious metal. Right? But but here's where we can take advantage of these trends rather than the trends taking advantage of us, be in the right place at the right time, grow, thrive, and start to come to that point of peace by focusing on the solution rather than on the storm.
• 1:35:35
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. I mean and while, you know, for a lot of people, they're watching their house value now declining after the day it's gonna hit that peak. They're watching inflation happen. You've got silver up close to 30% in the past six months. Gold up over 20% in the past six months.
• 1:35:50
  So I think I think it's just the beginning of that. So anyway, Kirk, it's it's always a lot of fun and just a pleasure to have you on the show. I really appreciate you coming on. And I have to say that I consistently get feedback from people saying I love the economic updates from Kirk. Because you have a way of explaining it that you can explain it to the average person.
• 1:36:08
  If I can understand what you're talking about, then it's like your average third grader's gonna get it too. So thank you for that.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It's my pleasure. I've been doing it this isn't my first rodeo. I've been doing it for thirty years. And you know what?
• 1:36:21
  If I can teach this stuff in a university classroom setting where everyone's bored out of their mind with economics and they don't get it, and by the end of those classes, they love it and they get it, you know what? If I can do it to a kid who all they wanna do is ski, I know that we can do it to people who really care, right, about their retirement portfolio. So so there you go. It's just how I am. So think but thank you for those kind words.
• 1:36:47
  I I really appreciate them and love them.
• 1:36:49
  Seth Holehouse: Absolutely. Well, thank you, Kirk. Take care.
