The DISTURBING Truth Behind the Media’s Attack on Sound of Freedom · Man in America Podcast

• 1:33
  Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in your host, Seth Holehouse. So today is a special show for you. If you remember the earlier days of Man in America, I used to oftentimes do these shows that I refer to as my deep dives. And it was just me. It wasn't me and a guest.
• 1:53
  It was just me digging into a topic, showing you my research, walking you through a particular narrative. And that's what this show is gonna be. So it's not an interview with Tim Ballard or Jim Caviezel, though I'm trying to bring them on. But this is going to be just a show for me to dig into what I think is really happening behind the scenes of the mainstream media, and why it's affecting their coverage of Sound of Freedom, but their overall coverage of pedophilia, of this degenerate agenda, and what's behind that and kind of tracing back into history and looking at some really kind of frightening declassified documents. So I also have a little bit of my own review of Sound of Freedom, but this is gonna be a juicy episode.
• 2:46
  So I'm glad to be back doing these. And I'll be doing these kinds of shows more often. And my goal is to go back to doing these kinds of shows live. That way I can be interacting with you. Because that's my favorite.

• 4:03
  So first, I'll give you just a quick update on the overall progress. Amazingly, the film has extremely well at the box office. I mean, keep in mind, this isn't a major Hollywood studio. It's not an Indiana Jones or a Star Wars. And so, here we've got a recent article, Sound of Freedom exceeds expectations with $40,000,000 box office opening, which is absolutely incredible.
• 4:32
  So this is just the opening. Obviously, they're going to have extended time in the theaters, then it gets into streaming, where they're gonna be making a lot more money even coming in on, you know, the people that aren't gonna go see in the theater, but they're gonna stream it at home, which probably I'll do that again. So I went and saw it, I want to go see it again. I want to take some family members to go see it with me, and maybe we'll end up streaming it eventually. So that's, that's encouraging, right?
• 4:56
  That's really, really encouraging because for the folks that saw it, or haven't seen it and know what it's about, it's bringing to light such an important topic. It's a topic that I've been talking about for quite some time. I'm very passionate about. I've interviewed people like, Lee Dundas, or Kathy O'Brien, folks that have either worked with trafficking victims or have been trafficked. You know, I've also done a lot of work over the past couple of decades with, you know, political prisoners in China, people that were trafficked in China and had their organs harvested from them.
• 5:30
  So whether it was the Uighurs or the Falun Gong, or underground house Christians, that's also something that I've been really, really passionate about. So this is a really, really important film. And so getting into I'll give you just a quick review or, I guess, big picture synopsis of the film. It was an exceptionally well done film. It was just in terms of the quality standard, you know, the acting, the music, the lighting, the cinematography, the mood.
• 5:59
  It was something you'd watch it and think this was a completely high budget Hollywood production. I've seen a lot of films coming out of, you know, Pure Flix or Angel Studios or and you watch them and you're like, okay, it's kind of b grade. Right? This wasn't that. This was definitely a grade.
• 6:18
  Now, it did an excellent job obviously exposing a lot of the realities of human trafficking, but specifically about child trafficking and child sex trafficking. Now, for folks that are watching that have been on the fence about seeing it or bringing their friends or family or even children, it's not gratuitous. It doesn't show it doesn't show anything. It just implies what goes on. So it's not like a snuff film is not like these bad scenes where you're looking away.
• 6:50
  In fact, you're glued to it the whole time. So if you do have teenagers that you want to bring this to, I wouldn't go younger than that. It just, I mean, it is a pretty intense film. But, know, if you wanna bring them, just know that, you know, that they're not gonna be exposed to anything that you wouldn't want them to be seeing. They're probably not already seeing on TikTok.
• 7:08
  And hopefully, teenagers aren't on TikTok for all the obvious reasons. Now I've seen there's there's a really debate among the community of folks that are trying to raise awareness about this. And I'm seeing there's two sides of it. There's one side which is saying, look, this is a movie for the average person. There's a lot of Americans speaking from the American market.
• 7:31
  A lot of Americans have no idea what child sex trafficking is. They may have some general idea, but they have no idea the reality or the depth of it. And even I had, I mean, I didn't, it wasn't until some of the interviews I've done or some of the documentaries I've seen that I really understood it. It wasn't something that just came into life as a normal American, where it's something you talk about, like, know, we just don't talk about it. People don't understand it.
• 7:58
  It's a really uncomfortable subject. But it's as you have probably seen in the movie or heard elsewhere. It's the fastest growing criminal activity. I think that it's the largest now it's $150,000,000,000 a year. And what's depressing and sad about that is that what they say is that while you can sell a bag of drugs one time, that you can sell a child five, ten times a day for ten years.
• 8:24
  So that's why it's so profitable and so lucrative for criminals to get into this. And so now there's there's one camp again, that's saying that, hey, this is great. It's bringing this out into the open, which that's really kind of where I fall. But there's the other side of it. And this is actually more of my wife's opinion too, which is saying, why didn't show more from the perspective of pointing out who's really running a lot of this because and as you'll see in today's episode, I'm gonna be diving into the the dark underbelly of this world.
• 8:56
  And as you go deeper into it, you realize it comes back to our own CIA, our own Child Protective Services, our own media is complicit. So it didn't, it really kind of painted the picture of it brought awareness to child trafficking and child sex trafficking, but it did leave you feeling a little bit like almost how you feel when you see the starving kids in Africa. Like, oh, thank goodness it's not happening here. Thank goodness it's not in my backyard. It's in some second or third world country.
• 9:27
  Now granted, I mean, that it was based on the true story. And it just it took place in Colombia and a lot of areas that you'd look at and say, gosh, that's world or third world country. So I don't think they were intentionally avoiding that. And I also know that there's potential for sequels in the works. So I really, really hope that maybe this is just the introduction.
• 9:45
  I think it was already is extremely difficult for them to bring this to the big screens as it was. I imagine if they were also exposing and you know saying look, you know, you know, that you might think of these pedophiles as being these disgusting lowly creatures that are ugly that drive like a school bus. The reality is, is that it's it's the neighbor next door. It's the local preacher. It's the local guidance counselor.
• 10:12
  It's even the local sheriff. It's the CEO of the medium sized business, it's the marketing executive of the fortune 500 company. That's what wasn't shown in this documentary. It didn't make you even though they talked about how America is the biggest consumer of child pornography. It didn't really paint the picture that of just how much it's infiltrated our society and how much of our society here in America is run on, you know, fueled by child sex trafficking, child organ harvesting, adrenochrome, etc.
• 10:49
  So that's, you know, kind of my overall review is go see it, get your family to go see it because even if it doesn't expose some of those things, I can tell you from people I talked to that have watched it, that in the reviews I'm seeing online, for a lot of people, it hits them in the gut and it makes them at least what it can do is it can make a parent walk away from there saying I'm going to do everything possible to protect my child. And that's something that I did too. Walked away from that and just thought, gosh, like, I am going to be so vigilant in protecting my children. So vigilant. And that's one thing I walked away from with that.
• 11:26
  So there's the the quick man in America review. Now, what I want to start digging into here is the response of the response from the mainstream media about this movie. And, you know, go before this came hit the theaters, I've been following this for a couple of years, didn't get to see the original premiere of it, which I'm disappointed I didn't get to see it back in Vegas A Couple Of Years ago. But I've been following, I've been waiting for this to come out. And I thought I wonder how the mainstream media will actually look at this.
• 11:59
  And so I'm gonna pull up a few different articles for you here. So let's start with Rolling Stone, which this is just disgusting. But anyway, so Rolling Stone comes out. They say that Sound of Freedom is a superhero movie for dads with brain worms. Now they say the QAnon tinged thriller about child trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a conspiracy adult boomer.
• 12:28
  So they completely make a mockery of this. They're they talk down about it. They're negative about it. Let's see what the Guardian said. Okay, Sound of Freedom, the QAnon adjacent thriller seducing America.
• 12:45
  It says Jim Caviezel stars as a hero trying to stop child traffickers in a paranoid new movie turning into a surprise box office hit. So that's the one thing, paranoid new movie. So we know that, you know, child sex trafficking, human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry. We know that it's now the biggest, $150,000,000,000. We know how many kids go missing in America every year.
• 13:13
  How many children go missing around the world every year. So to call this a paranoid film. It's like, honestly, anybody that watches this and comes away with the attitude of, yeah, that's just they're fearmongers, they're paranoid and you know, come up with that negative perspective. It makes me really, really question that person's conscience and their intentions and maybe even what they do in their private lives. So we'll continue with another review here.
• 13:42
  This is from Jezebel. Sound of Freedom is an anti child trafficking fantasy fit for QAnon. Star Jim Caviezel, who plays real life anti trafficking activist Tim Ballard has been talking about adrenochrome and organ harvesting on his press tour. So you see what they're doing here, right? The mainstream media, we'll be digging into this, the mainstream Mockingbird media, which I'll be explaining later in today's show.
• 14:12
  What they do is they create these labels, and they create this association. And this is just it's like psychological pro propaganda programming 101. It's you use a label, you attach that label to different things and you keep reinforcing that. Right? So with Trump, for instance, they kept they've reinforced racist, misogynist, sexist, bigot, Nazi.
• 14:36
  And so they keep saying that these words, so Trump racist, Trump racist, Trump racist. So what happens is that you form this this association between these words. And so that way, you know, talk about being triggered. So if someone then says, well, Trump said this, all that person can think about is racist racist Nazi, you know, bigot dictator, because they've been trained, they've been brainwashed by the mainstream media primarily. And then obviously through social media, which is reinforcing these narratives.
• 15:08
  So they've been brainwashed, they have that trigger happening. So what have they done with with the whole QAnon thing? I'm not gonna be getting into what I think it is or whatnot. But what it clearly is, is a label that the mainstream media has used to say instantly, this isn't just a conspiracy theory. This is the the worst of all the conspiracy theories.
• 15:30
  These are the crazy whack job far right people. And so by saying that being anti child trafficking is this Q conspiracy, they're really they're throwing the worst label possible at this. And it makes you wonder it's like, why would you be attacking anything that's trying to stop innocent children from being stolen from their parents, drugged, raped, sold, sold into sex slavery, sold into physical slavery. And then once they're done being used up having their organs and their adrenochrome harvested for sale on the black market. Like anybody who is not for stopping that happening is like has a very dark soul.
• 16:23
  Like, I end it there. So but let's take a look at these same media and how they've covered other movies. So I'm sure you remember when Netflix, this couple years ago, came out with this this movie called Cuties. Now I'm not going to play the video trailer here because I think it's just it's sickening to me. But this was a movie that came out that sexualized not like not just like teenagers, these were children.
• 16:50
  Like I think they're seven, eight year old girls if I remember. I mean, these were young kids that they completely sexualized it. And there was a massive backlash against this. A lot of people canceled their Netflix over it. A lot of people say look, this has gone too far.
• 17:05
  But honestly, it was a movie that I think that one of the primary purposes of this movie coming out was to normalize pedophilia. You see his agenda. So what do you think Rolling Stone said about this movie cuties? Do think Rolling Stone said, this is a disgusting normalization of pedophilia and you know, the the director should be ashamed? Well, let's take a look at what Rolling Stones actually said.
• 17:31
  They say, oh, Cuties review a coming of age movie caught in the culture wars. A coming of age movie and you go in there and you read the article and they're actually they're talking about the positive thing it's doing. Now you go to The Guardian. Okay, the same one is saying that you know, they're completely, completely throwing Sound of Freedom into the garbage pit as a conspiracy crazy movie. Here's their review about cuties.
• 18:02
  It says Netflix's controversial child exploitation film is bold, flawed, and misunderstood. And it just continues to to justify it. Okay, which makes you wonder, why is it that these mainstream media, why are they so pro pedophilia? I mean, it's not just that they're not against it. They're actually encouraging it when these films come out like cuties.
• 18:36
  They're speaking highly of them. Now, let's take a look at CNN. Okay. Here is a CNN article. This is back from 2012 took a little digging to find this.
• 18:48
  This was a special opinion written for CNN saying do pedophiles deserve sympathy. So this is an article on CNN saying and justifying why pedophiles deserve sympathy. And so they're saying that oh, well, you know, pedophilia should be separated from child molestation. And they come up, they sit on here, I'll read what they say. They say pedophilia was long used as a synonym for child molestation, and both were often seen as psychological features of self failures of self control.
• 19:29
  So coming in here and they continue. And they're saying however, recently a number of studies have started changing that view. It appears that one can be born with a brain predisposed to experience sexual arousal in response to children. And they get into the how the brains work and everything. So this is literally like instead of just saying that look, if you touch kids, you either deserve chemical castration if you're lucky, life in prison, or maybe the death penalty.
• 20:00
  You know, there are some cultures where that's how they treat this. They say if you touch our kids, we will kill you and therefore there's very few pedophiles in those countries. But here you have it, CNN publishing this opinion piece, saying basically making a justification that we should have sympathy for pedophiles. Now keep in mind, this is over a decade ago. This is back in 2012 that they wrote this article.
• 20:27
  This is a long term agenda, which makes you wonder, okay, what we're seeing here, this is sampling the media, you're seeing this, this trend, right of basically siding with the pedophiles. Now, one might say, okay, why is this? Is it that perhaps there's people in these news organizations that are pedophiles, and they're trying to protect themselves or they're trying to, you know, they're bringing their personal kind of opinions into things. Well, you know, we have this article right here. Ex CNN producer John Griffin speaks or sentence as victim speak out about abuse.
• 21:08
  So this guy was sentenced to nineteen years. He was a CNN television producer. Okay, this was earlier this year. And he was sentenced to nineteen years in prison after he lured a nine year old girl into illegal sexual acts. Now this is just one of multiple instances of these people, these people working in the media, getting busted for pedophilia.
• 21:37
  Now, if you look at Disney, right, with Disney isn't just Mickey Mouse and some magical resort. Disney is a massive media company. And Disney has had a massive problem with pedophilia within their organization. So that makes you wonder it's like, okay, well, is it just that these people are attracted to these these, you know, these places? Like, what's the deeper reason?
• 22:03
  And so, but if you're looking at the mainstream media, okay, one thing that's important is that when you look across the different mainstream media outlets, the news outlets, you can almost always see there's a very consistent narrative like look at the media coverage on Sound of Freedom. It's almost like, you know, they wrote three different headlines and each media company has picked their headline and modified it a little bit, but it's the exact same story. The story is Sound of Freedom is a far right QAnon fantasy about child sex trafficking, right? That's the story. So it's it's something bigger than just a couple of individuals at each individual media company forming their own opinions.
• 22:42
  There's a much longer, a larger control mechanism at work here. And here's where we enter into the CIA. So I'm sure you've seen Plandemic or some of the Plandemic films. There's a clip in one of the Plandemic films I'm gonna play for you. It's about almost seven minutes.
• 23:04
  But obviously, it's Mickey Willis. It's extremely well done. And what it's doing actually, I'm sorry, it's not gonna be seven minutes. I think I'm cut it after a couple minutes because it makes the point I'm trying to make here. So what it dives into though, is Operation Mockingbird.
• 23:18
  Okay, so I'll just play the video and then I'll explain it some more afterwards.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Since the invention of the printing press, there's been a battle to control disseminated information. In the early nineteen hundreds, oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller took control of every newspaper and news editor of his era.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Here's a new and forthright attack on Moscow.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: He became America's First Billionaire, paving the way for the power hungry ever since. Thus began the gold rush for the modern world's most precious resource, the narrative.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to a major circulation, American journal?
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: During a senate committee investigation, it was revealed that the CIA had been conducting a covert operation to infiltrate and control US media. They called it Operation Mockingbird.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: We do have people who submit pieces to American journals.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Do you have any people paid by the CIA who are working for television networks?
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: This, I think, gets into the kind of details, mister chairman, that I'd like to get into an executive session.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Over 3,000 CIA contracted and trained operatives were placed in key positions within top media outlets. Posing as editors and journalists, these well paid actors never dared to question the effect of their lies on the world beyond their cozy studio.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: How often does the CIA manipulate the media in this way?
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: It goes beyond your wildest imagination. Setting up student organizations so they could draw radical students in, 5,000 university professors co opted to help the CIA manipulate people's minds. Journalists in The US, including big name journalists, co opted to function routinely to help the CIA put out stories and biases to the world.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: As this 1952 CIA memo says, the aim is controlling an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will.
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: It's a great brainwashing process to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Would you say that continues today?
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Well, I yeah. I would think probably for a reporter, it would continue today. But because of all of the revelations, I think you've gotta be much more careful about it.
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: So how do we know that operation mockingbird still isn't in effect? Well, we don't.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: It was the telecommunications act of 1996 that opened the door for predatory corporations to monopolize the industries of print and broadcast.
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: This bill protects consumers against monopolies. It guarantees the diversity of voices are
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Today, a handful of corporate empires own and control the vast majority of everything you read, hear, and watch. From the biggest movie studios, television and radio networks, newspapers and magazines, to the vast universe of Internet news and entertainment sites.
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: Amazon has transformed its operations in response
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: to COVID nineteen to protect employees
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: home are online. Staying at home.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: And that is how it works. It's like a house of mirrors where you're seeing the same thing over and over and over again, except it's distorted.
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: There's an
• 27:27
  Seth Holehouse: Mickey did an excellent job on that explaining and showing I mean a lot of those different videos that you were seeing, whether from congressional hearings or interviews, those are from the 50s and 60s. I mean, were 50, 60, 70 years old. So you'd have to ask yourself, mean, was before the internet. This was before social media. This was before all of us carrying around a tracking device in our pocket known as an iPhone or an Android phone.
• 27:59
  This was before Google. I mean, already at that time, the CIA played a massive role in controlling the narrative. You saw that quote there. They talked about how their goal was basically to get the general public to bend to the will of the CIA. So you have to ask yourself with this that is the CIA still in control?
• 28:27
  I mean, if they had that much control and that much infiltration already at that time, They haven't shut down the CIA. They've been funding it more. We're seeing it's gotten more and more corrupt. So you can see the reality of what's happening here. That the CIA and not just the CIA, the FBI, these other agencies have taken an incredible amount of control over what gives us the narrative.
• 28:55
  So when we go back to these stories, for instance, like, you know, these Sound of Freedom stories. You go back to these and you're wondering, oh, is this coordinated? Yeah, actually, they probably are. These are probably coordinated by the Mockingbird media. But then so if they're coordinated and they're coordinated by the CIA, still the question comes up, why the push for pedophilia?
• 29:22
  Right? This is something that is hard to really understand. Is it that there's a bunch of pedophiles at the CIA? Well, maybe. I'm not saying that they all are.
• 29:32
  There's probably a lot of good people there. There's a lot of good people that work in the media industry. But a lot of times, it's not those good people that are the ones calling the shots and making the decisions. So let's go ahead and pull up this. So there is something that happened.
• 29:46
  2021 BuzzFeed of all places broke this story into interesting. Saying here, secret CIA files say staffers committed sex crimes involving children. So a declassified CIA Inspector General report shows a pattern of abuse and a repeated decision by federal prosecutors not to hold agency personnel accountable. So I'm gonna read a little bit here. It says, over the past fourteen years, the CIA has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children.
• 30:28
  Continuing, the revelations are contained in hundreds of internal agency reports obtained by BuzzFeed News through FOIA requests. Now, our Freedom of Information Act lawsuits. One employee had sexual contact with a two year old and a six year old. He was fired. A second employee purchased three sexually explicit videos of young girls filmed by their mothers.
• 30:53
  He resigned. A third employee estimated that he had viewed up to 1,400 sexually abusive images of children while on agency assignments. The records do not say what action if any the CIA took against him. A contractor who arranged for sex with an undercover FBI agent posing as a child had his contract revoked. What a what a harsh punishment contract revoked.
• 31:17
  Only one of the individuals cited in these documents was charged with a crime. In that case, as in the only previously known case of a CIA staffer being charged with child sexual crimes, the employee was also under investigation for mishandling classified materials. So, okay, you can see that not only within this agency, which is supposed to be protecting us from criminals. Okay, the CIA is supposed to keep us safe. Yet here you can see that there are some staff with Missy A that are pedophiles.
• 31:55
  Okay, well there's probably pedophiles a lot of companies. Okay, but the thing is, is that when the CIA discovered that there were pedophiles and they have evidence on them. They didn't fire them they didn't charge them with criminal charges, they didn't put them behind bars, these people walked away scot free. And so how deep does this go so we're going go back into some declassified documents because it gets much worse. And I think that it helps paint a picture of what's really going on here.
• 32:24
  And the picture that I'm seeing is actually that the CIA is more akin to a criminal agency to a mafia, something that is absolutely corrupt in so many ways and it gets sickening. So I'm gonna be diving into that. So there are vaults where you can go online, you can look at declassified documents. So the FBI, if you go to their vaults and you can dig into this, they have a part of their vault in these documents called the finders. So maybe you're familiar with the finders, maybe you're not.
• 33:01
  So again, if you were to tell your friend, say your friend that's, you know, kind of like on the edge with of believing or not believing a lot of these things that are happening in the world or your friend that's much more maybe liberal and they think that you're kind of like that far right conspiracy theorist. If you were to tell them that the CIA was involved in child sex trafficking, satanic ritual abuse, torture, etc. And you said that was actually at the high levels of the CIA, they would probably say you're lying or you're probably watching too much Alex Jones or something of that sort. But what we have here is we have the actual declassified documents from the FBI that show these things were happening. So let's go ahead and dive into this.
• 33:49
  So let's go ahead and dive into this thing. Okay, are there satanic pedophiles at potentially high levels within the CIA? Well, fact checked, true. So in the 1970s, this is all based upon this declassified information on the finders. In the 1970s, local police in Florida, Texas, California and DC discovered that the CIA was running a satanic cult that would kidnap kids, lock them in cages and traumatize them before selling them as sex slaves overseas.
• 34:31
  I'll read that again to you. This is based upon these declassified documents. So this is discovered by local police. You imagine local police, they're trying to find these bad people. So what happens when a local police officer or small task force is fighting child trafficking, and they eventually catch the bad guy and realize that wait, the bad guy is actually part of the CIA.
• 34:53
  So again, in the 1970s, local police in Florida, Texas, California and DC discovered that the CIA was running a satanic cult that would kidnap kids, lock them in cages, and traumatize them before selling them as sex slaves overseas. So then the FBI took control of the investigation. They then learned that the call is run by the CIA for quote intelligence purposes. And so the FBI stopped investigating and sat on the evidence for fifty years until the documents were legally required to be released. So look at that.
• 35:38
  The FBI looks into this, they discover that this child trafficking ring known as the finders was being run by the CIA. Okay, and that they're doing satanic ritual abuse, all kinds of bad stuff. The FBI again instead of protecting us and putting criminals away the Federal Bureau of Investigations, they actually just ignored the case they sat on it for fifty years until these documents were then legally required to be declassified. So, do you think, just ask yourself a simple question. Do you think that these people that were running these trafficking rings and doing this stuff, they just stopped.
• 36:20
  Like, once their cases got brought to the FBI and the FBI looked at them and said, You know what, we're not going to do anything about it. Do you think those people stopped? Or do you think that they've continued and that these criminal networks have grown more and more powerful over the past seventy years or fifty years or however long it's been. So jumping back into this. So it sounds crazy, right, but it's a hundred percent real.
• 36:44
  So here is a quote from the FBI files. Quote, specially trained government kidnappers with top clearance and protection in their assigned task of stealing children, torturing, and sexually abusing them, involving them in satanic orgies, bloody rituals and murder of other children. Folks, this is a quote from a declassified FBI file. I'm going to read it again to you saying that what they discovered about these CIA sex rings is that quote, specially trained government kidnappers with top clearance and protection in their assigned task of stealing children torturing and sexually abusing them, involving them in satanic orgies, bloody rituals, and murder of other children. So, they did what?
• 37:41
  So here's what they did. According to the declassified FBI files in the link below the CIA child kidnapping ring would kidnap children from preschools, lock them in cages at a farm in Virginia, traumatize them with satanic ritual abuse, and then sell them overseas as sex slaves. Let that sink in. Here's some more shocking details that you can literally read in these declassified documents. They had tunnels to these preschools.
• 38:21
  So, tunnels with chambers were dug up to preschool classrooms and were being used by CIA operatives to kidnap young children. So in these preschools, they literally had tunnels. They found tunnel system. They had tunnel systems that were going underground so these people could kidnap. And look, like my daughter is turning three soon.
• 38:48
  Imagine your kid, four or five years old in a preschool. And imagine finding out that that preschool had tunnels underground that were dug so that the CIA could come in and steal your children during the time when the kid was supposed to be at a safe environment known as preschool, so they could then take that kid lock them in a cage, torture them sexually and sell them off to be a sex slave. This is what the CIA was doing. Okay, more details, sacrifice rituals. So the satanic pedophile cult members make ridiculous excuses for why they were wearing white robes and making children slaughter animals.
• 39:30
  Okay, they call it an internal matter. The investigation of the finders had become an internal matter. Okay, kids in cages. Quote, cages were discovered on the premises that witnesses revealed were used to keep children during their visits to the farm. FBI cover up.
• 39:52
  The finders are involved in a well organized child abuse scheme, and the FBI's foreign counterintelligence section conspired to cover it up. So folks, and this is look, this is just one instance. This is one operation. This is just a finders operation that was running, where they were literally stealing kids getting doing satanic rituals with them torturing them, making them sacrifice animals or other children, and then selling them off as sex slaves around the world. So when you see a movie like The Sound of Freedom come out, that exposes this that talks about the doesn't kind of expose the CIA being involved, but it exposes the reality of child sex trafficking.
• 40:46
  Now what it doesn't get into in this is in the film is the satanic ritual abuse stuff. And that's where a lot of this stuff really gets rooted into. And if you've watched, I've interviewed Kathy O'Brien. She's a great person to watch her interviews. She was someone whose father, basically her quick story is her father was raised, know, used to rape her as a child and he'd film it and he'd sell films, you know, sell it.
• 41:11
  So he'd create child pornography of hers as a baby. And he ended up getting caught. And the local police ended up actually letting him off in an agreement that he would sell basically sell Kathy into the CIA system, where she became, she entered into what they call their in the MK Ultra mind control program. So I'm not gonna be digging too deeply into MK Ultra, but it's it exposes a whole other underbelly of what this is and fundamentally what we're looking at when you peer into this when you peer into the child sex trafficking, you're looking into a massive, powerful criminal network. And that's what this is.
• 41:57
  It is this immense criminal network that is existing at the lowest level of our societies with, you know, the even the homeless person getting picked up and taken off to be trafficked or the person that's kidnapping kids and selling them for a few thousand dollars to, you know, to someone that's in a cartel, up to the very, very highest level. We're seeing this stuff goes up to the presidential level, it goes up to the highest echelons of our society, the corporations, fortune 500 companies, the highest levels of the school systems, you know, Epstein, I mean Epstein is just just a small portion of what's happening. Because what this is is as we talked about at the beginning, it's a hundred and $50,000,000,000 industry and that that essence probably wildly under what it actually is. But it's not just about making money. And that's the point here.
• 42:49
  That's one of the key points. Why would the CIA be so involved in this? Well, a) I think there's a lot of demonic influence in this. That's a whole different discussion. I think this is it's pure evil.
• 43:02
  It's demons and minions that have taken over people's bodies that are doing this kind of stuff. So that's one thing. But what this is, is it becomes a massive part of a blackmail operation. Because what they do is they entice people with this pedophilia. Look, as much as they're trying to normalize it, pedophilia still has an extremely negative stigma in our society, thank goodness.
• 43:25
  And so what they do is they find people that are in positions of power. Now, you have that the level of Epstein, that's kind of like the representative of the really elite level of that. They've got their planes, they're flying in presidents and CEOs of banks and really high profile people. And then while they're there, they're engaging in these these acts of torture, rape of children, etc. They film it all, and then they've got blackmail.
• 43:50
  So if you look back at something like COVID, for instance, and actually, Lee Dundas, who I had brought on talking about this, what she had said was that COVID was the entire pandemic was built off the back of child sex trafficking and blackmail. And she was saying that she's like, how do you think all these politicians got controlled? All these politicians around the world are in unison, destroying their reputations, destroying their future political careers by going, you know, by going with this very corrupt agenda. And so that's what this is. So for the CIA, they this is how they're gaining their powers through this blackmail.
• 44:24
  So of course they'd be involved in these these sex trafficking rings and in luring people. I'm sure they were intimately involved in the Epstein Island. But that's just, again, that's just the pinnacle of this. You're also having this happen at low levels, right? You might have someone that is just just a low level local person that is has discovered that if they can find films of this, and I'll walk you through this.
• 44:47
  Okay? Let's just say that there's a just a local criminal that he deals in pedophilia and he deals with lining up children for wealthy people or for people to purchase as you know, sexual slaves, basically as prostitutes for their kids. So he might, you know, he makes some money, you know, he might put an ad on Facebook or Craigslist, they have their ways of doing it. And he finds his local person that is interested in a 10 year old girl. Okay, so now he can arrange that meeting and drop the girl up, you know, pick her up an hour later, he makes his money.
• 45:24
  But what he also discovers is that if he sets up a camera in that room, and he knows who's actually buying this, he sets up a camera in that room, and he captures footage of that sexual act happening between that person. Let's say that person's on the city council, or let's say they're the CEO of a small shipping company, a regional shipping company. This person then captures that footage without this person, the other person knowing that's an asset. That's worth far more than that one hour block with that kid. Because they have other criminals that they're working with, and they can then sell that they can say, Look, I've got footage of a mayor, you know, a local mayor committing atrocious acts against a eight year old boy.
• 46:11
  How much is that worth? Well, say you're in a corrupt organization, you're a corrupt businesses, you're trying to get some laws passed, or you want to get some, some things overlooked. That becomes your tool. So this is this is the foundation of how these evil power structures are built on the back of blackmail and the core, the most powerful form of blackmail is pedophilia. And so now you can see how it's all connected back together.
• 46:39
  We tie in the CIA, you tie in the media, you tie in these politicians, these powerful people, these celebrities. I'm not even getting into Hollywood. This is how Hollywood is run. The entertainment industry. This is how all these criminal organizations are run through these control mechanisms.
• 46:57
  And the higher up you get an organization, the higher up you go, the more control they're going to have over you. And the more influence you have, the more control they're going to have over you. So that this, you know, in a lot of ways, this concludes the overall points I'm trying to make here. And I really, I have to pass it back to you. Like, you know, look, I obviously I've drawn some of my own conclusions with this, but I've tried to show you just through a lot of the evidence and actual information, what's really going on here.
• 47:27
  And so, you know, look, let me know in the comments, what do you think of this? Does it all make sense? I know a lot of you are really smart. You're actually a lot smarter than me. You teach me a lot of stuff in the comments and you're aware of these things and you give me resources and that's great.
• 47:41
  But the thing is, is that we have to, we have to awaken to this and we have to do something about it. And that's why I do think as a net positive, that Sound of Freedom is playing a very important role by bringing this to the mainstream conversation. So folks, thank you for for joining me today. I've actually got a second half to this interview. So I've got Kirk Elliott coming on for an economic update on some really some some pretty significant things happening with Central Bank digital currency and everything.
• 48:14
  And I wanted to say a quick comment. I occasionally will see the comments of like, oh gosh, you know, Kirk Elliott, he's coming on again. Look, he comes on once a week, but I want you to understand. Okay, now that we understand how the media works. Okay, why is it that I'm not working for NBC?
• 48:30
  Why am I not working for CNN or Fox News? Because I talk about this kind of stuff. I'm not controlled. I'm independent. You know how much Anderson Cooper gets paid?
• 48:40
  You know how much Tucker Carlson was getting paid at Fox and thank goodness he left. Right? And of course, those are the key people but the thing is, is that and we're getting into, you know, YouTube, shadow banning and censorship. It is so difficult to be an independent journalist. It is absolutely difficult to do this full time because they've intentionally put so many roadblocks in our way to generate an income that allows us to do this full time.
• 49:07
  Look, if I was a liberal commentator, and I went along with the same narrative as Rolling Stone, I'd have a massive channel on YouTube. I probably have 2,000,000 followers. And I'd probably be making 2 or $300,000 every month. That's Someone has a channel with 2,000,000 followers is making a couple hundred grand a month on YouTube advertising. Just how it works if you're getting that many views that many followers.
• 49:32
  Okay, I don't have access to that. Made last month I made maybe $100 on YouTube. That's the reality of it. So Kirk Ellet is someone that is a dear friend of mine, but he's someone I just I really agree with him. And I'm obviously a strong supporter of precious metals.
• 49:49
  He's someone I trust. He's not ripping people off like a lot of these other companies. But he's actually one of the main reasons why both Kate and I and we've now got a few people working with us are able to do this full time. So I hope that you enjoy this interview with Kirk. I hope this is some good takeaways.
• 50:06
  And look, honestly, I just want it to be helpful information for you guys to make your decision. So, folks, thank you so much for tuning in. It feels great to be doing a solo deep dive like this, and I'm excited to do more. And let me know in the comments what you think. Let me know what you think of these solo shows because I'd like to be doing more of these.
• 50:24
  So, alright, thank you to folks. Take care. God bless and enjoy this interview with Doctor. Kirk Elliott. Kirk, it is good to have you on as usual.
• 50:33
  How are you doing, man?
• 50:35
  Speaker 12: I am doing awesome. It's great to be with you again.
• 50:38
  Seth Holehouse: It is. It is. It feels like every week there's major updates. And we've been doing this for quite some time now, almost on a weekly basis. I remember six months, eight months ago, there were times where it was like, okay, what really is the economic update?
• 50:52
  We always found the important things to hone in on, but it just seems like so much is accelerating. And I'm really glad that we have these opportunities to do this every week because as much as, you know, Ukraine war effect affects us or child sex trafficking or these topics that are really, really important, The the reality of what's happening with our global financial system and with our dollar is I think it's one of the most critical issues. It's not something a lot of people especially in the mainstream are talking about. So it just anyway, I'm glad that you're here to kind of help guide people through this.
• 51:30
  Speaker 12: Well, what's interesting, I mean, I was oddly thinking about that over this weekend, we went up to the mountains, and I was just doing some thinking some research and it's like, this is one of the times where, Seth, I wish that we weren't right because everything that we're talking about is a change in the monetary system as we know it, societal change, governmental change, all of that. But I'm glad that we were right in the sense of we're helping people provide a solution for the way out, right? It's not you or I that are the politicians that are actually changing the world, but we're reporting on it, offering a solution. And I was thinking about some of the stuff we've talked about over the last half a year. Artificial intelligence, we were one of the first to actually start talking about that.
• 52:17
  And then sure enough, last week, the founder, the inventor, main programmer behind artificial intelligences is like having a Terminator one movie type of a moment, right? When the machines took over and tried to destroy their creators, the humans, right? I mean, he said the same thing. He said, my problem moving forward is what we've created is so good that I'm afraid that the machines in their learning, their directive to actually fix solutions, come up with things with chat GPT, right, is that they will see that maybe humans and their spending are part of the problem and try to destroy their creator, right? It's like, oh my word, I mean, out of his mouth, not mine.
• 53:00
  It's like, oof, how you pull back from that one when it's already on its way? And then central bank digital currency that we've talked about when it was in its infancy and hardly anybody even knew the word CBDC or the acronym, and now it's running full bore. And the last show that we just did, we're talking about the United Nations moving in that direction. The Russian embassy saying, we're looking forward to central bank digital currency backed by gold. Then they're having a meeting coming up in August.
• 53:32
  We were all on top of that one. The banking failures, which is still in its infancy, sadly. I think more are going to come because bank failures are a function of three things. Number one, malinvestment. They're investing in the same things that we're investing in that are going down, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate companies, and that withdrawals are greater than deposits.
• 53:57
  Simply put, that's why banks fail, right? And that's what we've got. So there's more coming. And as we continue to cover these things, what we're doing is, which is why I'm excited about it, why I can actually have a smile on my face, not about the horribleness, but we provide a solution. There's a solution to help get out of this, at least financially, politically, I don't know.
• 54:18
  America's gonna have to wake up. But financially, there is a solution.
• 54:23
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. And that's the thing is, you know, politically, it's like, okay, let's look to 2024. It's like, gosh, you've got General Flynn coming out recently saying that there might be some sort of black swan event that prevents twenty twenty four election from even happening. So it's like we have we have no idea. And, you know, so you mentioned central bank digital currency, and it really, you know, you and I have focused a lot on a handful of issues.
• 54:47
  One is this, you know, the banking system, the derivatives debt, what's what's happening, how just corrupted that system is, the FDIC as it relates to the banking failures, how that ties into the US dollar as the reserve currency and hyperinflation, which also ties into the BRICS nations, their reserve currency as we covered in the last show, but how all of that also ties into a central bank digital currency. And whether it's the BRICS nations or whether it's the western central banks, they're all in their own ways working towards this central bank digital currency. And so that's what I want to be honing in on today. To get that conversation started, I've actually got a video by Greg Reese. Greg Reese is he's one of my favorite, you know, creators of content.
• 55:34
  He's over at, InfoWars. But he's got this it's about a five minute video. But his videos are so good that they're never boring. But he condenses like an hour long show into five minutes. So we're gonna start with this video and then we're gonna be diving into discuss, you know, discussing all the points surrounding it and a few news items that tie into it.
• 55:53
  So let me go and get this playing. And this is Greg Reese.
• 56:02
  Speaker 13: In a recent Time Magazine article, Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Associates hedge funds warned that the world is on the brink of disaster. He came to this conclusion based on current events that haven't happened since the nineteen thirties, the largest amounts of debt and inflation, the biggest gaps in wealth and values resulting in the rise of populism on both the left and the right against the elites, and the greatest international conflict between world powers, most importantly, between The US and China. Peter Anj writes that the easy way out of this mess would be for the elite to proactively shrink in scope, get government out of the economy, out of social engineering, and out of propagandizing kids. But, of course, this won't happen. Common sense and simple observation will tell you that the so called elites will continue on their path towards economic destruction and world war, which is likely what the international bankers had planned all along.
• 57:07
  Let us not forget that the fast growing BRICS monetary system was born in 02/2001 out of Goldman Sachs. In 1971, president Nixon officially ended the gold standard and replaced it with the petrodollar, in which OPEC agreed to price their oil in US dollars in exchange for US military protection. This blood money deal preserved US control over the world economy. But when The US weaponized the swift payment system against Russia, BRICS became the only viable solution for the rest of the world. Reuters in New Delhi reported that last May, the State Bank of India rejected Indian Oil Corp's planned payment in US dollars for Russian oil.
• 57:55
  And so they went to a private bank and settled their trade for Russian oil by paying in yuan to the Bank of China and have continued to do so since. A shortage of US dollars in Argentina has caused commercial banks to allow the Chinese yuan as a form of currency in savings and checking accounts. Argentina has already been issuing securities in the Chinese yuan and has made a $2,700,000,000 payment to the International Monetary Fund using the Chinese BRICS currency. The Federal Reserve Bank's FedNow is scheduled for launch by the July. FedNow is officially an update to the Federal Reserve's payment processing and settlement system and appears to be a backdoor to creating a central bank digital currency.
• 58:42
  Private blockchain operator, TESOT, has partnered with the Federal Reserve's new payment system and will serve as an interface for FEDNOW. FEDNOW will also connect with METL Blockchain, whose CEO and founder founder claims will allow banks to prepare for an eventual central bank digital currency along with bank issued stablecoins. The idea of a central bank digital currency is already hugely unpopular with the majority of Americans. Sort of revolution, which would be nearly impossible seeing as how divided the populist movement is within the left right paradigm. Last week in China, the World Economic Forum proclaimed that the entire world needs to switch to a central bank digital currency with expiry dates and restrictions on undesirable purchases.
• 59:49
  They proposed using artificial intelligence to censor hate speech and disinformation on the Internet and using artificial intelligence to control a global social credit system that will involve wearable devices with sensors to monitor everyone's actions. If we, the people, fail to unite against the powers that be, then their solution will most certainly be world war, depopulation, and total control. And this is all happening right now. Reporting for Infowars, this is Greg Reese.
• 1:00:27
  Seth Holehouse: So as you can see, I mean, a, he does a great job with these videos, but you know, what he tied together there looking at just, you know, what Ray Dalio is talking about, you know, this coming shift in these systems. Obviously, he's talking about de dollarization, the the bricks, but how it ties into the central bank digital currency. And he played in the background a few of those clips from a recent meeting at the World Economic Forum. And I was watching some of those and one of those, this this older, gentleman, that had written, he's like written a book on this stuff. He was talking about central bank digital currency and he's saying, look, it can be a something really good or it can lead us to a very dark place.
• 1:01:09
  Because what he was saying, he's like, it will give governments the ability to monitor and restrict purchases. And he specifically, this is what's crazy, he specifically mentioned ammunition. And that was what really stood out to me, is he was saying that it'll basically that central bank digital currency will give the government the ability to monitor and restrict your purchase of ammunition, which here and I mean, obviously, he's talking about United States because this is the second amendment country of the world. This is the center of that. So anyway, what's your response to that video?
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 12: Well, I watched that same World Economic Forum video that you just referenced when he talked about ammunition. And it really exposes their agenda, is what that video did with the World Economic Forum. Because also in the same thing where they're actually now not hiding behind the fact that this is a means of social control, which is what one of the commentators on the Federal Reserve website, one of the authors of the Fed Now Basically Act from 2019, you know, that brought that whole concept into fruition, said the fourth definition of money is social control. So now this gentleman at the World Economic Forum, what else did he have in that line of nasty things that they can
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: actually stop?
• 1:02:33
  Seth Holehouse: Kirk, I I actually just pulled the video up as you're talking. So it's about a minute. I might as well just go ahead and play it because
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 12: Well, let's just watch.
• 1:02:39
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. It's, like, from the horse's mouth. So let let me go and pull this up for you. Exactly.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 14: The one final note I will, make is that if you think about the benefits of digital money, there are huge potential gains. It's not just about digital forms of physical currency. You can have programmability, you know, units of central bank currency with expiry dates. You could have as I argue in my book a potentially better and some people might see there a darker world where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things, but not other things that it deems less desirable like say, ammunition or drugs or pornography or something of the sort and that is very powerful in terms of the use of a CBDC and I think also extremely dangerous for central banks because ultimately if you have different units of central bank money with different characteristics or if you use central bank money as a conduit for economic policies in a very targeted way or more broadly for social policies that could really affect the integrity of central bank money and the integrity and independence of central banks. So there are wonderful notions of things that can be done with digital money, but again, I fear that technology could take us to a better place, but equally has a potential to take us to a pretty dark place.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 12: So right from the horse's mouth, couple things in there that I want to point out. Number one, central bank digital currency being programmable money with an expiration date. What that would do, imagine you've got $100,000 in your retirement account in the central bank digital currency, and it expires two years from now. They will force you to use it. They will force you to spend it, which constantly makes you a slave to their credit and debit system, right?
• 1:04:33
  Because they basically force you to not save. They force you to not have a retirement. If they can cause the currency to expire, it's either use it or lose it, Right? So, way to stimulate the economy, stimulate growth, keep people spending all the time, but force you into this slave system where you can't retire. I mean, that part of it's really mysterious to me that he actually said that.
• 1:05:00
  Seth Holehouse: Also, want to quickly, Kirk, is that it actually, it gets, it puts an end to generational wealth. Know, for a lot of people, they're saving money because they want to leave money for their children. And if all your money now has an expiration date, doesn't matter. You know, in this system, if they get it in place, you won't even be able to leave money for your children. So, even if we own something, it's setting it up so our children can't own anything.
• 1:05:30
  I just wanted to make that point.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 12: Well, in the old school way, they're already working on plans like that, like with death taxes and, you know, to stop generational wealth. It's like, 55% death tax. And I know a lot of farmer families that have land. And let's say the land's worth 5,000,000 and they die and the kids get hit with a $3,000,000 tax bill. Boom.
• 1:05:54
  You got to sell the land. They don't have $3,000,000 laying around, right? So they're doing it. But now it's going to be really easy. Just like, okay, when we're going to stop intergenerational wealth transfer, when Bill Gates dies, your heirs don't get anything.
• 1:06:09
  It's gone. Use it or lose it, buddy. Right? We're going to keep your money stimulating the economy and make future generations not be able to have family dynasties anymore. Right?
• 1:06:21
  So, I mean, that's part of that exploration thing is really creepy. Now, their ideology was just exposed as well. What did they list with ammunition as big no no type purchases? Pornography and drugs. It's like, oh, I agree with pornography and drugs, right?
• 1:06:39
  But why would you put ammunition in with those two things? Right? It's like, okay, they're exposing their globalist agenda, keeping everybody unarmed because if everybody's unarmed, this is why the founding fathers put that Second Amendment right in there, right? The right to bear arms because not to protect each other from each other, protect you from an abusive government. That's why they put that in there.
• 1:07:04
  Right? So because you have to remember, were they were fighting the British at the time, the Revolutionary War. They put this stuff in there to protect the American people against abusive government. This is abuse of government at its finest. However, I wouldn't even say it's government.
• 1:07:21
  Since when are people that work for the United Nations or the Bureau or the Bank of International Settlements, there's people that have jobs, They're not elected officials. So we're giving up our sovereignty as a nation to somebody making a decision that just has a job somewhere. I mean, that's the bizarre thing to me in some of these United Nations directives that are coming out recently, you know, by September of twenty twenty four, having the digital ID that's biometric identifier that's tied to your bank account that when you attach that to the Bank of International Settlements, CBDC directives of programmable money, Project Icebreaker, real time monitoring of all transactions, the ability to cut you off from even sending a bank wire if the use of funds doesn't match up to their ideology. It all blends together. And I agree with you, that video pulled all of it together really, really well because it all starts with one thing.
• 1:08:21
  It starts with the banking crisis, To get people so afraid that their cash should be the safest investment in the world, not even an investment, just a place to hold it. If you wanted to get out of the stock market, get out of the bond market, well, I'm just going to sit in cash. Well, now that with banks failing, people are going to say, I have nowhere to go. I mean, is the people that I talk to every single day have that exact same comment. I don't know what to do.
• 1:08:46
  Now banks aren't even safe. Well, you're right. Ten months ago, they probably were. But so much has changed during that ten months. And we're seeing the writing on the wall.
• 1:08:59
  And as we look at what's happening with central bank digital currency, with what we covered on the last show, the BRICS nations rising up and having a go back currency. Janet Yellen, over the weekend, had a statement that she is going to wish that she never said. Guaranteed in a world where there's no guarantee because here's her statement. She says, I just want to reiterate what I've said in the past, which is I think The United States can rest assured that the dollar is going to play the dominant role in facilitating international transactions and serving as a reserve currency. I don't see that role being threatened by any development, the one that you've mentioned, BRICS common currency.
• 1:09:48
  It's like, okay, there's no way that she's actually accurate in that statement. Not when the BRICS nations comprise without the meeting that they're having in August, which they're inviting over 30 heads of state to. They already have over two thirds of the world's population. We're not talking about a small trading block here. It's two thirds of the world.
• 1:10:15
  They actually usurp the US dollars, the world's reserve currency. But of course, Janet Yellen has to say that. Why? Because we're in an election year. Who who wants to actually run on a campaign that's like, yeah, during our watch, we lost the reserve currency status.
• 1:10:32
  Nobody can do that. So she has to say that, but I think those words are going to haunt her. And I hate to say that. I hate to say that the US dollar is the world's reserve currency is done, but I think it's done because of elected officials basically giving away our rights to the World Health Organization, the United Nations, giving the bankers the ability to actually coin money rather than Congress, like what the founding fathers envisioned. We've gotten to this point in society where our time in the sun as a reserve currency is basically done, Seth.
• 1:11:08
  And I think it's done.
• 1:11:10
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. And what's kind of interesting about this whole situation, especially with, know, Janet Yellen coming out and saying that, like the article, I pulled up the article continues, and is saying, kind of what you're saying too, because that's one that's one she's gonna want to take back at some point, I'm certain. Meanwhile, this announcement from Brix is a key waypoint into a larger map of dethroning the US dollar as the world reserve, world's global reserve currency. Not only does it solidify what we already know that gold is real money, but it is also the most pronounced public challenge to the US dollar on the global stage in recent memory. And so though some of this kinda came to me as you're talking is that, so, you know, one thing I'm trying to understand in this is what's the relationship between, like, the WEF and the CCP?
• 1:12:01
  Like, you have these they're working together in a lot of ways, yet they're also I believe they're enemies because they're they're it's conflicting. And it's kind of like they they all wanna rule the mountain, but only one can. But what we know is that the The United States, especially the people of The United States, is the largest like, the single largest threat to a one world order, Whether it's, you know, King Charles or Jacob Rothschild or Xi Jinping sitting on top of that one world order, The United States is the biggest threat. And so part of me thinks that even though there's this talk about the the BRICS reserve currency and everything, that a lot of the plan is just focused on what can we accomplish in America. Right?
• 1:12:43
  Because even there's a lot of folks, I can see a lot of this, especially the the kind of the truth seekers and truth tellers out there that are saying, great. This BRICS currency is wonderful. It's gonna free the world from the grip of the dollar. But it doesn't mean that that BRICS currency is gonna come into The United States and solve all the problems. Because I think what their goal is is to collapse the US dollar, drive The United States into complete ruin, roll out their their that global reserve currency as the new system, but then because they have to control the people of The United States, right, if they want to achieve that status of a true one world government, it's you and I that are the threat.
• 1:13:20
  It's the average American that's got six guns, and it's got, you know, his family to protect. That's the threat to their new world order. So that's why I think that they're still going to continue trying to roll out the central bank digital currency in The United States, even if they can't in other parts of the world, because we know that that's one of their major control mechanisms. And, you know, one of the other indicators, and I want to pull this up, because you kind of mentioned it as well, is that if you look at what's happening in the banking system, right, starting with the bank failures that are happening with SVB, etc, that what it did is it created a consolidation of banks because I think that if you look at the stages, the steps to basically bring in a central bank digital currency in America, One of the some of these stages, think was some of the key stages are getting rid of the local and regional banks and consolidating into the bigger banks. And so we started seeing that really happening in earlier this year, April, right, you know, this year.
• 1:14:20
  But there's an article that I want to bring up that you sent me, as we're planning out today's show, which I think is really, really important. So that and this is on CNBC. Like, isn't zero head. It's not, you know, some conspiratorial website. This is CNBC and this came out July 10.
• 1:14:37
  And they say the American banking landscape is on the cusp of a seismic shift, expect more pain to come. And I'm gonna read a few points here, and then I'm gonna pass it back over to you, Crooks. I really wanna get your analysis of this. But some of the key points to say are that rising interest rates, losses on commercial real estate, and heightened regulatory scrutiny will pressure regional and mid sized bank banks leading to a wave of mergers. Some of those pressures will be visible as regional banks disclose second quarter results this month.
• 1:15:05
  Half the country's banks will likely be swallowed by competitors in the next decade. But then as we scroll down here, there's one other paragraph I think that is really really important here, where they say that right here, what is what is coming will likely be the most significant shift in the American banking landscape since the two thousand and eight financial crisis. Many of the country's 4,672 lenders will be forced into the arms of stronger banks over the next few years, either by market forces or regulators. That's key. Or by regulators, what's that supposed to mean?
• 1:15:45
  According to a dozen executives, advisors and investment bankers who spoke with CNBC. So that's like those are that's a very, very telling article, I want to see what your thoughts are about all of that.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 12: Well, whenever you have bank failures, like what we've seen, and, you know, we've seen all this mayhem with five bank failures, right, Seth? You know, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, Silvergate, Credit Suisse in Europe, and then First Republic. That was it. Now, what Martin Weiss at Weiss Ratings, brilliant, been doing this for forty years, said there's 4,243 banks that we covered about two or three weeks ago that are on the verge of failure. So why are they on the verge of failure?
• 1:16:33
  Because they're capital strained, right? They don't know what to do. So this is compounding the industry's dilemma. And whenever you have these kind of bank failures, what's it's going to bring? An overreaction to oversight, right?
• 1:16:46
  So you're going to get so many rules, so many regulations. Small banks, medium banks aren't going to be able to comply. So therefore you're going to have the big banks which pick them up. So then basically gobble them up. This is why what you just read, I think is so that was really intuitive because they're expecting over the next ten years, fifty percent of all banks to go away.
• 1:17:11
  It's not that they're going away. It's that they're going to be consolidated into bigger banks. Now granted, a lot of them probably will go away, right? But here's why they have to be acquired. Because with all of this oversight, there's going to be a lot more costs coming down the pipe and that's going to depress returns and pressure earnings from the banks.
• 1:17:32
  So when you have higher fixed costs, it's going to require greater scale, a bigger bank, which basically is going to cause the system to erode. Now, I think that the powers that be moving us towards central bank digital currency actually really want this to happen because I know a ton of bank presidents, like a lot of them, right? And they're patriots like we are. They don't want this system. They don't want a central bank digital currency.
• 1:18:05
  They see the loss of freedom and the loss of your most basic right to buy what you want to and sell what you want to when you want to. So, they're not going to play, right? But if they're gone and now you have just six or seven big banks left, you don't have to worry
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: about that. Actually, I have a quick
• 1:18:22
  Seth Holehouse: example with that is think about when we had COVID and you had lockdowns, you had masks, etc. If you walked into a Walmart or a Whole Foods or a one of the big, big chains, It was mandatory. You got to wear your mask, you got to social distance, you know, Target. It was it was the few giant ones that enforced the these rules. Yet, I can tell you that I went to a lot of smaller grocers and smaller stores in Ohio, and a lot of them where you had a single owner, they wouldn't comply.
• 1:18:55
  Or if I refuse to wear a mask, I would talk to the owner and say, look, I'm not wearing it. Like, this this is against my constitutional rights, and they'd back off. But you go to these these big places like Walmart, like that's the thing is like, that's a good analogy for it, right? It's be, it's like imagine if the only banks left are the Walmart banks, and you're gonna be forced into whatever woke communist Marxist agenda that they have, basically.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and their whole agenda is huge. I mean, if you look at what they're going to need to get through to actually get this stuff passed, they're going to need people to have everything that they know is true and real and safe. Their banking account, their checking account, which should be the safest thing that they have. They've already paid taxes on it. It's just there, right?
• 1:19:45
  But they don't view that as something that could go away. So when people do view that as something that could go away with a massive banking failure, they're going to give up their freedoms. They're going to give all of that up in exchange for somebody to fix it. So now, when you just talked about that, it reminded me of an article I read a couple of days ago that I sent to you about the emergency powers for complex global shocks, right? So the United Nations, we covered the first half of this because they met in March.
• 1:20:20
  But now that there's new minutes coming out from this meeting on their common agenda, right, is well, that's what they call it. A pact for the future is what they call it. They want permanent emergency powers for complex global shocks. Okay, what does this mean? So I am going to read some of the statements from the UN Secretary General, which brings a banking crisis right into the fold here.
• 1:20:49
  So this is from the UN secretary general. He declared, I propose that the general assembly provide the secretary general and the United Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an emergency platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, severity, and reach. Okay. Think a banking crisis could be a sufficient enough global shock, right? So we don't have to speculate.
• 1:21:20
  They say it in the next paragraph, what could trigger the emergency authority. A major climatic event, future pandemic risk, a global digital connectivity disruption, major event in outer space, and generic unforeseen risks, black swan events. You talked about a black swan event earlier in the show. Banking failures across the board, huge black swan events. And then they have the power to oversee the stakeholders of the world.
• 1:21:48
  Who are the stakeholders? Again, they line all of these things out in this document. They're academics, governments, private sector actors, international financial institutions to ensure that there's a unified global response to whatever crisis is declared. So when they ensure that all these participating actors are making commitments to keep the world in check, right, the Federalist report, this is from the Federalist, the author of this article, Justin Haskins, what did he say? This is his concluding comment.
• 1:22:29
  If the emergency platform is approved, The United States as we know it would cease to exist. It's like, why such a reactionary comment? Why so inflammatory, right? Well, I don't think it's all that inflammatory because in this paper it says things like COVID, these international pandemics, these crisis, they have an indefinite time or a definite time span, right? Where you say, okay, we're going to put this emergency powers act into effect for three months or nine months or a year or whatever.
• 1:22:59
  This new pact for the future that comes into effect September of twenty twenty four says, if the United Nations deem necessary, they can make this an indefinite thing. Indefinite international financial crisis, they could make these emergency powers indefinite. See, all of this plays into banks failing, which they have to have in step to get to what they want because nobody in their right mind would give up that kind of authority. So imagine you as a president. You're the president of The United States.
• 1:23:39
  Let's just play this out. And people elected you. And what did they elect you to do? Serve and protect and create an abundant future for the people of America, protect our borders, everything else. So why would you, Seth, then give up your sovereignty as the duly elected leader of America to somebody that has a job at the Bank of International Settlements or the UN to say, all financial transactions actually go through us and you no longer have the ultimate freedom that you have to buy and sell what you want to and want.
• 1:24:12
  Why would you do that? It's like, I don't know. I don't know why you would, but it's not just Biden. Biden has shown three separate occasions that he's in favor of this UN, you know, emergency powers act that hits us September 2024. But he's not the only one.
• 1:24:29
  You know, this has the majority of support of the United Nations' nations. So the president of Japan, the president of Germany, the president of Brazil. Right? Why would they give up their national sovereignty and their right as a sovereign leader of a nation to make decisions on behalf of their country. This is a dilemma that's been racking my brain.
• 1:24:50
  So we're going into such a globalist world where there's this utopia that they want, where it's all encompassing government, all encompassing money, all encompassing basically elimination of our rights to bear arms. Obviously, when that first guy from the World Economic Forum said he puts ammunition in the same category as drugs and pornography. It's like, give me a break. But this is the world that we're living in.
• 1:25:21
  Seth Holehouse: Well, what's crazy is you mentioned so, when is it that this UN pact would come into effect?
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 12: September of twenty twenty four.
• 1:25:30
  Seth Holehouse: Is there, you know, I can't remember. Is there some kind of really important date in American politics within a couple of months of that exact date?
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 12: There is. Which makes me wonder, when you had mentioned General Flynn, if we even get to that point, it's like, this is a couple months prior.
• 1:25:52
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 12: Right? It's like, I don't know. I don't know what I don't know. But trying to connect some of these dots, when they make no sense in rational minds, you have to look to irrational actors making these things up. And what is their common agenda?
• 1:26:08
  What is their goal? Well, it actually does make sense when their goal is to eliminate The United States as the world's reserve currency, as the dominant monetary system of the world because they're replacing it all. It's like, okay, now it makes sense.
• 1:26:23
  Seth Holehouse: It does. And the more I look to, especially 2024, and I look, I don't want to be a fearmonger. I'm actually like, I'm a pretty happy guy. If you ask my wife, she's like, it's more almost like I wish you were more of a fearmonger. I look at things with too much of a rosy lens as she accuses me of.
• 1:26:43
  But, you know, if you look at what's happening in Europe, you look at what's happening in France, like I had General McInerney on recently talking about how, you know, that's the blueprint for America. You then look at the open border, you look at the, you know, weapons caches, weapons depots that we know the CCP has been shipping in and setting up in America. But you then look at what's happening financially with the banking system. It's like, where's that going be in six months to twelve months? Then you also couple that with the the bricks, the rollout of their currency, the push for central bank digital currency, and on top of that, them talking about the next pandemic, then putting in these UN emergency powers in place.
• 1:27:25
  I mean, I I think it's like I think that if you look at 2020, what happened in 2020, you look at the pandemic and everything that was set into place to make sure they could do what they did in 2020, I just feel like that that was just a preview of what they're going to attempt to do in 2024. And that it's concerning to me. It's truly concerning to me.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 12: Well, even this fall, I just read an article yesterday from The United Kingdom, somebody from their parliament, they just passed a law in The United Kingdom on how I mean, already, it's like, how would they know? But basically, for this fall, the pandemic that's coming, they basically have their new laws in place. So unless you get an RSV shot, a COVID, new variant COVID shot or booster, and a flu shot, they already have shelter in place laws in effect. So there's and basically, the guy from parliament that actually said, warning to America. This is coming your way too.
• 1:28:28
  It's like, what in the world? How you see, this tells me that they are planning stuff and they basically know that a pandemic is going to come months before it comes, which tells you, is this manufactured to control people, to control a population, to get to a goal that they want us to have of complete subservience to them, right? I mean, people will say, Kirk, that's such a conspiratorial thing to say. Well, explain it any other way. How else can you explain that they are telling us we're going to have a pandemic this fall, and this is what we're already going to do about it?
• 1:29:04
  It's like, how do you know? How in the world you know? So when you look at this stuff and then you couple that with the banking crisis and banking failures and all over the East Coast, all over the Eastern Seaboard Of America already, ATM machines are being shut down. They're being pulled out. And why would you do that?
• 1:29:27
  Because there's gonna be no need for cash. ATM machines are there for cash. So, you can put in your credit card, you can draw $200 out, whatever you need. Like one third of them are already gone in New York City from current estimates. It's like, what?
• 1:29:43
  They're just going away. Because I think they're preparing us in advance for a world without cash.
• 1:29:50
  Seth Holehouse: Exactly. And this is why I mean, as we look forward to this, and we're thinking, what can we do? But it's like my number one thing is get right with God. That's kind of like that's the blanket, you know, find your spiritual footing, find your mountain that you can stand upon, and just cling on to it and build it strong, build it within your family. Like that's to me the most important.
• 1:30:15
  I do believe it's the battle of good and evil. But when it comes into our daily lives, this is why you know, it's being, you know, learning how to grow our own food, having storable food, learning how to can, learning how to hunt if you're in a rural area. If you're living in an apartment in New York City like I was a couple of years ago, probably not the best place to be when things go south, right? So these are just a lot of these basic skills. And this is also why, you know, I bring you on because I think that the financial aspect of that is one of the most important ways.
• 1:30:46
  Because like right now, like, you know, right now, I could finish our show, I could go online, I could purchase 1,000 rounds of ammo, I could purchase a hundred ounces of silver, I could make those transactions, but that that I think I really think there's a limited window, especially I would say that, you know, one of the things that they would be restricting with Central Bank Digital Currency is the ability to transfer your assets into assets that are not trackable. Like, do you think they're gonna let you use your Central Bank Digital Currency to buy silver that you can then go bury in your backyard and they have no hope of finding? I don't think so. Like, I think that they're gonna try to really prevent those things. And so that's why, again, I think that what you do is is really, really important for people because, you know, whether it's precious metals or, you know, obviously, I'm a big believer in land, you know, as as you and I've been talking about, we're getting ready to go through a big move.
• 1:31:42
  And part of that was, you know, we're buying 12 acres of more rural land. And I'm I'm trying to get that land paid for as quickly as possible because I want to have that land I want to have, okay, I can grow my I can plant seeds right here, I can build a home right here, I can cut these trees down to heat my home. That's a big thing for me.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 12: Well, it's wise. And mean, I'm like you, Seth. You know, your wife might think that you're very Pollyanna in nature. It's like, everything's going to be fine and rolled and dandy. Because when we serve a God that loves us, who is basically, none of this is a shock to Him, we should have that hope mindset.
• 1:32:23
  It really should. He's got this. But He does give us wisdom to prepare and understand the trends, and then the courage and faith to actually act on that wisdom that he gives us, right? And this is what we're here to do. This is what we're exposing the things of what's going on so we can act accordingly.
• 1:32:42
  And so I say all of that to say, I've never been an urgency kind of a guy. Not. It's like, you know, when I talk to my clients, it's like, think about it, pray about it. If you want to move forward, give us a call. We'd love to help you.
• 1:32:55
  And if not, we're not going to pester you, right? It's like, leave it up to them. We just help play out this message. For the first time in my career, twenty nine years doing this, I actually have a sense of urgency. Why?
• 1:33:10
  It's because of Project Icebreaker at the Bank of International Settlements. When I read that, I thought, oh boy, here's a problem. Because how do people get us funds to actually purchase precious metals? They send bank wires. Project Icebreaker is all about cutting off bank wires from bank to bank if the use of the funds doesn't match up with their ideology.
• 1:33:34
  That's what that's all about. So I saw that and I'm thinking, oh my word. I don't know what the timeframe is for that to happen, but this is their goal. Their goal is to ideologically determine whether funds can be used or not, and they have the ability to cut you off from having a bank wire or not. Now, bank wires, I think, in the next twelve months are going to be a thing of the past anyways.
• 1:34:00
  Why? Because central bank digital currency is three sixty five days a year, 20 fourseven instantaneous payments. It's like Apple Pay or Venmo or PayPal, right? It's like, boom, money's there in a second. There is no bank wires, right?
• 1:34:15
  But yet it's the ultimate ability to control everything that you spend your money on, So here's where I mean, I'm not saying you have to do this yesterday or it's like lights out. But no, I think every day that we move forward closer and closer to the system is closer to a time frame where they may actually stop you from sending wires. Now, the hope in all of this is other states, other people that think like us are starting to smell the danger signals, right? And you've got Ron DeSantis in Florida saying, we're never going to use central bank digital currency in Florida. No way.
• 1:34:53
  You've got Texas, which is state legislation right now, state chartered bank backed by gold. Alaska joined them in that movement. You've got Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming, that have all said gold is going to be legal tender in our state. So here's where it might just mean state chartered bank, you're not part of the FDIC system. So we might all be moving to a bank that's outside of that system going back to states' rights.
• 1:35:26
  We're seeing even this weird turnaround at the Supreme Court over the last month. It's like, what got into them? Are there true colors coming out? What was wrong with them before? Because they've got life legislation, they've got more states rights legislation that they're passing.
• 1:35:48
  They've got all these things that are like, boom, it's like a turnaround from everything they've done over the last year. And they're actually making pro freedom type decisions all of a sudden. It's like, I'll take it. I don't know why, but I'll take it because that's what they should have done to begin with is focus on freedom and individual freedom and our rights as people rather than the political nonsense that they've been focusing on before. But so there's hope that we are not going to live in a world that is only CBDC controlled.
• 1:36:22
  Right? But there's other alternative systems coming into play. What do they all have in common? Gold. The Texas State Chartered Central Bank backed by gold.
• 1:36:32
  The one in Alaska, gold. The BRICS nations that we're talking about, what do they want to back theirs? Gold. I mean, this is why central banks from around the world are amassing gold by the thousands of tons or hundreds of tons, right? So don't listen to what they say.
• 1:36:51
  That's not oftentimes the reality. Because like the old saying sometimes goes that people kind of giggle about, and sadly, it's kind of true. It's like, hey, how do you know if a politician is lying? It's like, because their lips are moving, right? So don't listen to what they say.
• 1:37:05
  Watch what they do because that will tell you their true intention and what their heart is actually saying. And they are buying gold by the hundreds and thousands of tons. Why? We don't know exactly whether it's the dangling carrot to say our central bank digital currency is going to be backed by gold, so therefore put your money into ours because they know that's what people want. Or do they realize this might not be as an easy path as we thought it was, this whole CBDC thing, And we still want to be the world's reserve currency, so we're backing up our currency with gold as a plan B, right?
• 1:37:42
  Because they're seeing what I think it was Hong Kong told China. It's like, we're not even going to accept CBDC. You're the BRICS nation. CBDC is a legitimized currency. We're not.
• 1:37:52
  So then you've got states doing the same thing. This is where there's hope in all of this is because there is truth. There is courage. There's courageous decisions being made at the political level, not enough, but some to show that there's a movement that's starting to establish itself.
• 1:38:09
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah, there really is. And I also think, know, with the central banks buying up gold is because I think they know what's going to happen with the value of it once these things get implemented. And when it truly does become, I mean, like a real realized price, not some artificially manipulated using paper, you know, paper, you know, gold, paper, silver to keep the prices so low. It's like they know they have a window. So, Kirk, we're nearing the end of our hour here.
• 1:38:37
  If folks want to get ahold of you, ahold of your team, what's the best way to do that?
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 12: Best way to do it is you can actually give us our office a call (720) 605-3900. That's (720) 605-3900. Just say that Seth sent you over, or you have the form. You have a basically web form that we put together for you. It's goldwithseth.com.
• 1:39:06
  Goldwithseth Com. Either one of those will get you in touch with one of our schedulers that will get you on board quickly with one of our advisors to go over all of this, and put together and map out a strategy for success moving forward that gets you out of the path of this hurricane. Now, here's the first why I've been urgent for the first time in my twenty nine year career is because we've got a BRICS Nations meeting coming up that you just closed on the last show that we did in August 22 through the twenty sixth. Over 30 heads of state coming. The Russian embassy is excited about them backing the BRICS nation's currency with gold.

  Now hitting the mainstream news and Janet Yellen saying this whole BRICS currency thing back with gold, The US is still going to be the reserve currency. She's lying, right? So, it's now hitting the mainstream though. Once that announcement is made, if that's the announcement that they're making, which I have no reason to believe it's not based on where it is in Durban, South Africa with all these leaders, right? Metals prices, gold goes through the ceiling.
• 1:40:17
  But you know what goes up even faster? Silver, because it tends to go with gold anyways. But the massive low supply that we have right now in the manufacturing demand, silver should continue to outperform in a huge way. This is only like a month away, right? I mean, this is truly a month away that they meet.
• 1:40:39
  So, like anything, the trend has been very, very good in gold and silver anyways. But I would rather be nine months early, six months early, three months early than one day late. And so therefore, I would allocate as quickly as you can into those to take advantage of some of these meetings, these basically political meetings that are going to change how banking is done around the world. And this happens really within the next five weeks.
