Chapters
00:00 - 00:30: Introduction and Urgency to Prepare The chapter highlights the urgency of preparing for World War II as if one's life depends on it. It emphasizes the importance of involving family and friends in the preparation. The narrator insists on the certainty and necessity of being prepared, suggesting that the value of preparation is much greater during times of stability compared to when chaos ensues.
00:30 - 01:00: High-Level Geostrategic Analysis The chapter titled "High-Level Geostrategic Analysis" explores the profound impact of societal functionality on productivity, emphasizing how typical daily accomplishments can exponentially decrease when the grid is down. The discussion alludes to the disparity in efficiency between normal circumstances and scenarios where basic utilities are disrupted. The chapter promises a unique and comprehensive geostrategic analysis, suggesting it contains insights not readily available elsewhere on the internet. The author assures readers of the authenticity and exclusivity of the information provided.
01:30 - 02:30: Criticism of Political and Global Leadership The speaker opens with a declaration of honesty and transparency, stating they are unfiltered in their opinions about political and global leadership. This chapter emphasizes their commitment to truth-telling and assures the audience that there are no ulterior motives, financial or otherwise, influencing their statements. Their message is a critique aimed at prominent figures and systems, implying that listeners should be wary of corporate giants like Amazon and Walmart.
02:30 - 03:30: World War II Analogy and Existential Competition The chapter explores the author's perspective on the political climate, particularly with reference to the Trump administration in the context of a preparedness community. Despite being a conservative voter in Canada, the author maintains an objective, apolitical stance, offering criticism where they see fit. This analysis draws parallels with World War II analogies and touches upon existential competition, suggesting a broader historical and cultural context to the political discourse. The emphasis is on objectivity and transcending subcultural norms, critiquing the prevailing algorithmic and societal challenges.
04:00 - 04:30: The Volatility of Global Events The chapter discusses the ongoing and escalating global conflicts, emphasizing the beginning stages of what is perceived as World War II. It highlights how the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is anticipated to worsen, despite the occasional allure of peace and prosperity prospects. The text warns against getting swayed by peace talks or optimistic outlooks, such as those related to Iran, which have been proven fragile and quickly disintegrated recently.
04:30 - 05:00: Recent Global Incidents and Their Implications The chapter discusses the nature of global politics through the lens of game theory, emphasizing that relationships between major powers like China and the United States are unlikely to improve significantly. It argues that a winner is necessary in global affairs, similar to the natural world where there is a food chain and a certain hierarchy. This perspective suggests that a multipolar world, where multiple powers coexist without a clear winner, is unsustainable.
08:00 - 10:00: Listing Recent Explosions in Iran The chapter delves into the emerging geopolitical tension resembling a new cold war, which is seen as inevitable and existential for countries worldwide. The narrative suggests that regardless of preferences, nations are driven by necessity towards conflict with each other, emphasizing the survival aspect embedded in international relations.
10:30 - 14:00: Retaliatory Dynamics Between Nations The chapter titled 'Retaliatory Dynamics Between Nations' discusses the impending tumultuous times at a global level due to power struggles and shifts in the global hierarchy. It highlights the allure and dangers of volatility that characterize this period, describing a scenario where significant global events lead to unpredictable outcomes. The text metaphorically refers to a 'day X', a critical turning point marked by failure and chaos, where individuals are inevitably drawn to the upheavals and instability of the time.
16:00 - 21:00: Oil Price Dynamics and Middle East Tensions The chapter titled 'Oil Price Dynamics and Middle East Tensions' discusses significant volatility in oil prices driven by ongoing tensions in the Middle East. It mentions the occurrence of dramatic 'bull runs,' which are periods of rapid price increases. These fluctuations are framed as part of a larger trend toward a 'permanent blackout,' implying potential future crises or disruptions. The text suggests that despite the volatility, there will be seemingly prosperous periods ('green days' or 'utopic days') that signal we might be nearing the end of the current global economic and political framework.
30:00 - 35:00: Perspective on Russian and NATO Tensions The chapter titled 'Perspective on Russian and NATO Tensions' discusses a warning against assuming optimistic outcomes based solely on recent positive events. It emphasizes the unpredictability of situations by referencing contrasting developments observed over a two-week period. It also addresses accusations and misinformation regarding military placements, specifically referencing stealth bombers and public incredulity surrounding their reported locations. The primary focus is on maintaining a critical perspective when considering geopolitical narratives and military movements.
40:00 - 45:30: Cyber Attacks and Espionage The chapter titled 'Cyber Attacks and Espionage' delves into the complex world of negotiations and tactics involving Iran. The narrator expresses a strong belief that these negotiations are merely a stalling tactic. Prominent figures, such as Warren Buffett, who is nearing retirement, must navigate these uncertain waters filled with individuals easily influenced by fleeting trends and ideas. This insight sheds light on the intricate maneuvers in the domain of cyber diplomacy and global negotiations.
50:00 - 55:00: Cold War Era Preparations in the UK The chapter focuses on the preparations in the UK during the Cold War era against the backdrop of global power shifts. It highlights the perceived decline of the United States as a leading empire and how this realization among the deep state transcends Trump's presidency. The narrative underscores the urgency in curbing China's progression to prevent it from achieving a technological and economic 'escape velocity' that could shift the global balance of power further away from the U.S.
55:00 - 60:00: Secret Government Preparations and Conspiracies This chapter discusses issues surrounding secret government preparations and conspiracies. It highlights the importance of self-reliance in times of crisis, noting recent events such as power outages in Spain as examples of potential governmental cover-ups or unreported preparations. The speaker stresses the need for individuals to be prepared for similar events by being self-sufficient, as recent occurrences might be linked to larger conspiratorial actions that are not being publicly addressed.
⚡ALERT: EXPLOSIONS THROUGHOUT IRAN! MAY 9TH SHTF?! UK PREPS NUCLEAR BUNKERS! YEMEN MOBILIZING! Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 This is your World War II update. You need to prepare like your life depends on it. Because it does. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. You need to prepare your progeny, your extended family, your friends, acquaintances. You need to prep like your life depends on it. Every day that these lights are on is worth a 100 days when the lights are off. Most people don't appreciate that
00:30 - 01:00 fact. What you can accomplish in one day when society is functioning as normal and you have the grid at your disposal is worth a 100 days when the grid is down and the lights are off. Probably a thousand days really when you think about it. Now I'm about to give you a comprehensive highlevel geostrategic analysis that you're not going to hear anywhere else on the internet. I guarantee you that much. And I promise you that everything I'm telling you
01:00 - 01:30 today is straight from my heart. I'm not paid off. I'm not paid to say this. I'm not withholding information. Everything that I tell you is exactly what I think. I'm not trying to sell you Don't buy from me. Go and buy from Jeff Bezos or Walmart, the Waltons, if that floats your boat. I do not care. I am here to tell you the truth. And I've consistently done that since I started this channel, but even more so since the
01:30 - 02:00 onset of this administration in defiance of all the algorithmic and subcultural mores and and headwinds here in the preparedness community in which a lot of people took issue with the fact that I was criticizing the Trump administration even though I vote conservative here in Canada. Not because I'm criticizing that political demographic per se, but just because I'm apolitical and I see things objectively
02:00 - 02:30 and I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that we're in World War II and we're just in the beginning of it and it's only going to get worse. Many people along the way are going to be tantalized by the prospects of peace and prosperity. And despite me consistently telling you that the war with Russian Ukraine is going to get worse, I told you don't buy all the hype about peace talks in Iran. And quickly that all unraveled in the last week or so as
02:30 - 03:00 we're seeing. I told you don't expect any sort of reproma between the Chinese and the Americans. Why? It's simple game theory, guys. You have to have a winner in anything in life. And I mean life with a capital L. I'm not just talking about your individual life. I'm talking about life, the food chain, human evolution. There has to be a winner. There is no winners in a multipolar world. In fact, the multipolar world is
03:00 - 03:30 just the onset of the biggest cold war of our lives. And throughout that time in which we find a winner, because this is existential for all countries, we are destined to go to war with one another. It's just the way it is. It's not a matter of preference. It's just how it is. And so because our existence depends on us coming out victorious in this jockeying for
03:30 - 04:00 position in the global hierarchy. We're going to see incredibly tumultuous times ahead. And unfortunately many people are enticed by the volatility that they see. It's almost as if as we inexraably hurdle towards day X, that fateful day when the lights just don't come back on, there's going to be so much wild upside volatility and people are going to succumb to the vicissitudes of
04:00 - 04:30 SHTF such that you're going to have days where you have the biggest bull runs in history and we just seen that. That's volatility, upside volatility on the pathway towards the permanent blackout. You're going to see green days, utopic days, the likes of which we never thought possible. And that's a sign that we're approaching the end of this this grand human globalized experiment
04:30 - 05:00 because don't presume that just because you have record upside days that's not that's not going to be followed by a subsequent deeper darker downside. Okay. Now, let's put in perspective what has transpired in the past two weeks because it's really striking to see. Two weeks ago, everybody was hitting up my channel and saying, "Oh, you were wrong about the stealth bombers being parked at Diego Garcia." And see, Steve Witco is
05:00 - 05:30 trying to broker a deal with the Iranians. But all along throughout all of this, I just knew in my heart of hearts, intuitively, it was self-evident to me that this was all just a stalling tactic. And this is, you know, guys like Warren Buffett, who's on the brink of retiring, by the way. This is what they have to deal with on a daily basis when you get these wildeyed people, right, who are so easily swayed by the whims of
05:30 - 06:00 daytoday news that they can't stay focused on what the fundamentals actually are. The fundamentals are is that the United States as an empire is in decline and they've just realized that they being the deep state. This transcends Trump. Okay. And they've realized that if they allow China to advance one inch further, then they're going to achieve escape velocity and
06:00 - 06:30 we're going to lose. Again, speaking as dispassionately as possible, as objective as possible, so we can get to the truth of the matter. All you can do as an individual is prepare yourself to be self-reliant for when the lights go off, just like they did in Spain recently. And don't think that that wasn't related to everything I'm about to say. Now, two weeks ago, everything was fine. However, we did in the background see
06:30 - 07:00 this elomeration of force by the US in the Middle East Sentcom region where they just keep pouring in more troops, more military equipment day after day after day, weapon shipments to Saudi Arabia, the Emirates states, to Israel, day after day after day. Now, all of a sudden, it seems as though the peace talks aren't going so well. And then what happened? Well, we had that port explosion which now cost the Iranians $3
07:00 - 07:30 billion. They've actually arrested a few people in relation to that incident was highly disruptive to their economy. Then we had that F18 debacle, right? Remember when they turned a little too hard and it just fell off the edge like a cat pushed it off. Then we had Wals, Mike Wals, fired. He of course was the psyat to try to be the fall guy for you know all the signal gate stuff and all that stuff. Um then we had that very bellos Pete Hegth tweet where he just
07:30 - 08:00 stopped short of threatening to nuke Iran essentially saying that we are going to respond at the time and place of our choosing clearly in direct relation to the F-18 issue. And then we had secondary sanctions imposed by Donald Trump on countries that do any business with Iran. Of course, in the crosshairs there was China because he knows that China is one of the main benefactors of Iran in in that they buy the most oil
08:00 - 08:30 from Iran. Okay. Then you had Israel beginning to mobilize tens of thousands of reserves. Then you had numerous incidents of sabotage continue in Iran. Here is the complete list. On April 26, we had the Bander Abbas port explosion. Then we had a chemical factory in in Isvahan explode, which is a city which is integral to their nuclear program. Then we had a power plant in Karash explode in Iran on the 2nd of May. Then
08:30 - 09:00 we had a cardboard factory in Nazarabad on May 2nd. Now the reason why they would go for a facility like that is because it's an optical win. It's an eyesore. you know, something like that is likely going to burn for a long period of time and be seen from a a long way away in order to sew discord in the population. Then on May 4th, we had a fire in an industrial park in Tran. Then we had a massive motor motorcycle factory in northeastern Iran, which is slightly misleading because this is
09:00 - 09:30 potentially used to create motors for UAVs, they are claiming. And that was a big fire. You could see that one for miles and miles away based on the footage I seen. And then most recently today, May 5th, an underground IRGC ammunition depot was on fire. So this, well, it's a drop in the bucket. It is going to have a deleterious effect on Iran if only in creating a more
09:30 - 10:00 discordant population who either wants revenge or perhaps wants to oust the current regime. That's what they're going for because quite frankly that's the only game plan short of nuking Iran that Israel in the United States has. And I want you to understand something guys. If you look at the retaliatory ratio for the Israelis and the Americans, it's like a 100 or a thousand to one. I mean, consider that the
10:00 - 10:30 Houthies just the other day, they got a missile, possibly a hypersonic one, through two THAAD systems, the most America's most capable uh ICBM ballistic missile uh defense system in the world. Okay. that they have in their possession. Israel has two of them. And I believe the Americans only have maybe a half dozen of these things, if that. And also on top of that, you have the Iron Dome and then you have the
10:30 - 11:00 Arrow interceptor system. This was able to circumvent that system. Okay, fine. What did it hit? Some road. Inconsequential. I don't even think anyone died, but don't quote me on that. Regardless, the response by Israel was to completely destroy the Yemen port with what appear to be some sort of uh what do you call it? Thermal barrack bombs, massive
11:00 - 11:30 ordinance penetrators, MOABs, big explosions. Some people are saying they're tactical nukes, but I highly doubt it. Uh you would know if it was a tactical nuke pretty quickly, and that of course would draw the attention. Although what I'm trying to say here is that it wouldn't take much if we're talking about 100 to1 ratio. Think if the Iranians actually did a calculated decimating attack on the Israelis, the Israelis would have no choice but to nuke, not no choice, they would nuke
11:30 - 12:00 Iran. They would nuke Iranian nuclear facilities. They would nuke something. If you take that 100 to one rule and the Iranians actually now Iran with their first uh offensive, their first ballistic missile volleys that they fired against Israel, those were largely to send a message, a shot across the bow. They weren't intended to do any major uh infrastructural damage that the Israelis would perceive as existential.
12:00 - 12:30 Okay? And if they were however to do something like that which actually had that impact 100:1 ratio like if they were to take out I don't know an entire Israeli air base or a military base or something that entailed a lot of casualties I don't think it would be a great leap to expect that the Israelis likely would respond with nuclear weapons based on the principle that
12:30 - 13:00 they've demonstrated thus far. Now, going back to the timeline, Saudi Arabia gets weapons, then, right, they get these 1,000 air-to-air missiles. Who knows what they're going to use those for? The Iranian air force is not that vast. So, are they going to use these surface airto-air missiles on uh you know, missile defense? What what the purpose is going to be? Who knows? Either way, Saudi gets weapons and all
13:00 - 13:30 of a sudden OPEC decides to crash the price of oil, which makes no sense because it doesn't really, at least in the short term, benefit the Saudis and the Russians, right? Well, more on that in just a moment. And guys, you're not going to hear this anywhere else. Then you have the Yemen missile that hits Benurian airport and on the same day Iran unveils a missile that is specifically designed to bypass THAAD systems. Okay, you can't make this up. On the same day, in fact, within hours
13:30 - 14:00 of it happening. So those two things are definitely connected. I don't know if the technology that was used in the Houthi missile was the same as this or whether incorporated certain aspects or it was just an opportune time. Nonetheless, that's what happened. Then Netanyahu and Trump threatened Iran. You remember that? Saying basically, well, anything that the Houthies do, the the
14:00 - 14:30 Iranians are the ones that are puppeteering this whole show. Trump then said Iran must seize all nuclear enrichment. Although in that interview, and you should never take any off-the- cuff remarks by Trump seriously. We should all have learned our lesson by now, but some people are just going to ultimately learn the hard way. Nonetheless, he did say that Iran must cease all enrichment, something that Witco has also stated. Then Iran decided to threaten US
14:30 - 15:00 military bases. Now, Israel is openly stating that they're going to control all of the Gaza Strip. Okay. Just months after Trump said that, yeah, we're going to build uh you know, beaches and hotels in in the Gaza Strip, right? Then, of course, today we had the heavy bombardment of the Yemen port with what appear to be Moab bombs. And then you the UK claimed that Iranian terrorists were arrested today plotting to attack a
15:00 - 15:30 synagogue or something like that. Now that to me seems very weird how the Iranians have been playing this thus far. That seems very out of character and I would not be surprised if that story turns out later to be a fabrication or if there's some MSAD CIA MI6 elements to that because that just makes no sense. What would Iran stand to gain by committing a benign attack that
15:30 - 16:00 would only give the West license to mobilize against them even more so with respect to what's going on with the price of oil here is the gist of it. Okay, here's my theory of oil prices crashing. People asking why is OPEC increasing supply? Like why would that doesn't make any sense at this point in time. If anything, they should be tightening supply because the Saudi budget requires something like a
16:00 - 16:30 $70 barrel per oil. The Russians even more so. And of course, they're currently in dire straits. Uh all of these nations, oil producing nations, economies are in the red right now, and they need a higher price of oil. So why would they agree? Especially the Russians who are part of OPEC and I'm certain that they have some sort of veto power in the matter. Why would they agree to that? Well, you got to think just a few weeks, possibly months ahead.
16:30 - 17:00 They're intentionally crashing oil prices to preemptively offset supply shortages from an expanded Middle Eastern conflict. This is something I tweeted out earlier. Saudi Arabia secured weapons from the US and immediately, just like that, They boosted oil output. Russia benefits because lower oil prices suppress US shell production. Thus, they reduce American energy independence in the long run. And
17:00 - 17:30 additionally, Russia gains strategically by drawing the US into another costly Middle Eastern quagmire. It's very enticing, right? If you know the price of oil is low, if inflation, which is directly correlated and predicted in fact by low oil prices, and that's the only reason why we're seeing disinflation is because of low oil prices. If you see that going down, then maybe a price spike as a result of a
17:30 - 18:00 major war in the Middle East might not be that bad. China, however, also benefits in the short term from a low oil price. Trump enjoys a temporary boost from falling inflation and can cheaply refill the strategic oil reserve which is filling but incredibly slowly still like 50% less than what it was at one point. So he gets to enjoy those benefits and the funds from this maneuver can subsidize domestic shell
18:00 - 18:30 producers until the conflict inevitably begins. However, neither Saudi Arabia nor Russia can sustain these artificially low prices for long. The clock is most certainly ticking, and I do believe when it comes to Iran, the Russians are very duplicitous, and this is why they've not entered in to a full-on defensive strategic partnership with the Iranians. They're going to do some stuff. They're going to do some trade. They're going to
18:30 - 19:00 make some corridors to move goods, but the Russians are not going to extend their nuclear umbrella to Iran. Why? Well, there's 1.5 million Jewish Russians or Russian speakaking Jews in Israel. So, Vladimir Putin's in a tight spot and a lot of them have a lot of power and influence. And so, he can't just openly back the Iranians. He's got to kind of walk that fine line. But there's nothing Putin wants more than
19:00 - 19:30 the United States to open up a front in Iran, but nothing which is going to be an existential threat to the Iranians because the Russians don't want regime change there either, especially if it's in the Americans interest. They don't want that. But everybody here is playing for time. And everybody kind of stands to benefit in the short to midterm by lower oil prices. But in the long term, Saudi and Russia need oil prices to be
19:30 - 20:00 high. Okay. Now, in terms of what's going on with Russia and Ukraine, there's a lot of pretentious threats surrounding this May 9th Victory Day parade. Zalinski has not ruled out, not striking Moscow on that day. I think it's highly unlikely that anything's going to get through considering the Russians claim to be installing 280 defense systems, air defense systems in and around Moscow for that day. I'm not sure if that's individual launchers or
20:00 - 20:30 systems. Uh but either way, they're committing a lot to that region. And of course, Putin has requested a ceasefire throughout that time. Uh Trump in a very naive fashion uh agreed with Vladimir Putin not understanding that of course Vladimir Putin is going to want a ceasefire at that time knowing full well that the Ukrainians are going to try to attack along the front. This will have the effect of you know the Ukrainians looking like the
20:30 - 21:00 aggressors in the eyes of critics. So of course he's going to do that. But why would Ukraine agree to a ceasefire just because Moscow wanted to hold a victory day parade? It makes no sense. If you're going to have a ceasefire, you do it from today. So yeah, I don't believe the Russian propaganda that says that, right? And I also don't believe the Western propaganda. I think I've made that abundantly clear. But it works both ways, guys. That's what you need to understand. Now, Trump is going to be
21:00 - 21:30 sending Patriot missiles to Ukraine from Israel and today Putin had indicated or perhaps it was yesterday in an interview he claimed that the West wanted a nuclear war. He described in an unprecedented allegation that Ukraine's Western supporters in NATO were essentially trying to bait Moscow into deploying nuclear weapons in Ukraine. And my thesis is the following. If they were
21:30 - 22:00 willing to provoke the Russians into doing something like that and they were ready to endure the consequences, as dire as they might be, they will not only provoke, but they will create a situation that would justify their intervention. If they were willing, think about it, to go to the extent, of provoking the Russians to use nuclear weapons, knowing what the fallout would be, no pun intended, then they will
22:00 - 22:30 likely concoct a situation in a false flag or some sort of incident which will act as a pretext for escalation. If they're willing, if they were willing to try to provoke the Russians into doing it, and if it was that important that they were trying to provoke them, then by hook or by crook, they will get that outcome. Okay. Putin also made another veiled nuclear threat once again, saying that
22:30 - 23:00 we hope we won't have to use nuclear weapons, but we might. And the neocons in the United States are threatening even more sanctions not on Russia itself, but on countries that import from Russia. 500% tariffs on imports from countries that buy Russian natural resources. Once again, who's he talking to? He's talking to China, right? In terms of the India's Pakistan saber rattling, it continues to
23:00 - 23:30 ramp up in the background and all these things are connected. You have Pakistan, China, Iran, Russia, some African countries in there in the midst, North Korea and maybe Venezuela on one team and you know you have the West, the transatlant versus them and then everybody else is kind of just in the middle somewhere. But India for the first time since 1960 cut off water from the Balar Dam breaching the Indus water
23:30 - 24:00 treaty which they backed out of recently. This is essentially a blockade of vital resources that Pakistan needs a very impoverished country with a very large population in a relatively small land mass who require that water in order to survive and to function economically. And so that absolutely is going to be escalatory. Now unlike contrary to what a lot of people were suggesting, they're not
24:00 - 24:30 cutting off all water because they don't have the the capacity to do that. Of course, I mean that would cause flooding in their own, you know, country, right? That's the purpose of dams is to generate electricity. But apparently they are cutting some water off. They are rrooting. They're doing something that is affecting the flow of water and that of course is going to trigger a reaction from the Pakistanis. India has also conducted and
24:30 - 25:00 is going to conduct I should say a large-scale civil defense exercise on May 7th. Now based on what I seen in India throughout the co pandemic, remember the guys uh walking around with the uh omocron mask and beating people with sticks. I think this is going to be, you know, a glorified 5minute duck and cover exercise, but it's largely going to be a do with continuity of government. They're also training to
25:00 - 25:30 take off from highways in that distributed force strategy. In case their air bases were nuked by Pakistan, they could still mount an attack from highways. So training with their fighter jets to fly from highways. And Pakistan has reiterated for the eenth day in a row that uh they have no qualms with using nuclear weapons if they need to. In terms of what's going on with the trade war with China, well, it's only getting worse. I mean, there's no
25:30 - 26:00 movement on tariffs, and as I've indicated before, the United States cannot afford to empower the Chinese anymore. And that is why you're never going to see an economic reproma with the Chinese. It's not going to happen. It's decoupling from here on in. Even if tariffs are removed, you're going to see a steep drop off in trade because the United States cannot continue to empower the Chinese into escape velocity from the
26:00 - 26:30 clutches of western hegemony. So from this point forward, we're going to see the pursuit of mercantalism and the comparative advantages that we receive through globalization are basically going to be no more. and we're going to end up paying a lot more for stuff. Now, in the long run, it may pay off, especially if a new, you know, revolution in automation uh ensues, but not for a long time. Okay. China
26:30 - 27:00 continues to build up its nuclear submarine force. Uh they now, I believe, currently have active six nuclear SLBM submarines that each have 12 nuclear missiles, but they're wanting to bring that up to 80 by 2035. Now, even saying the word, the number 2035 seems elusive at this point in time. Like, it just seems like uh I don't
27:00 - 27:30 think we're going to make it that long without some major incident. But assuming we do, the Chinese are going to have 80 submarines that each have 24 because these new ones have 24 of these sublaunch uh ballistic missiles on them, which will be nuclear warhead tipped, of course. So, it's not looking good. Trump tariffs the movies, so I guess uh no more propaganda films. Only US propaganda films can be sold in the US. And he's also going to be imposing more
27:30 - 28:00 pharmaceutical tariffs. Over the next two weeks, Poly Market rates the prospect of a trade deal before June as less than 20% down from 70% in early April. Of course, I was saying it was 20% in early April. Now, interestingly, a couple days ago, I sent out a tweet. I said that prediction when Warren Buffett dies the US stock market will die with him because he's the only sense maker
28:00 - 28:30 left really when you think about it. He's the only thing Bergkshire Hathway is the only thing that really genuinely looks at the fundamentals and does not succumb to the day-to-day eb and flows of the markets. And a few hours after I posted that, he said he was going to be stepping down from Berkshire Hathaway. Now, he's going to remain chairman over at Berkshire Hathaway, but he's no longer going to be the chief executive. And he's also saying you might want to
28:30 - 29:00 consider buying other currencies. Okay, the guy sitting on what, $350 billion of uh treasuries and cash equivalents. Now, I'm not entirely sure. Does he have some sort of agreement with the US government that hey, I'll hold on to these treasuries and uh you'll scratch my back cuz I scratched yours. Is that what this is about? Because you really got to wonder because if he started liquidating all that and started buying stocks and
29:00 - 29:30 trading that in for uh stocks and equities, not only would it be stupid because we're definitely in a riskoff environment, but uh I don't know if that that could have a destabilizing effect cuz I think he has like what is it 25% of all of the treasuries? Something like some crazy amount. Maybe not that much, maybe 10%. Regardless, it's enough to move the needle. Okay, there's a big cyber attack in the UK and you're going
29:30 - 30:00 to see a more of this stuff as time goes on. All this stuff is related. It's likely hybrid warfare against the Russians in the UK. Marks and Spencer is facing a sustained cyber attack. They're a big retailer there. The company, a major UK clothing and food retailer, has been unable to take online orders for over a week with no short-term solution. Automated stock systems are offline causing supply issues and staff have had to manually check fridge temperatures due to system failures. So, going back
30:00 - 30:30 to an analog world, you want to leverage this digital world as it stands right now when the lights are on for an analog world. I was moving some dirt over the weekend. One bucket of dirt from a tiny little bit of diesel. Okay. an insignificant amount of diesel that could probably fill up a I don't know maybe a few millillers of diesel can
30:30 - 31:00 move a bucket that if I had to physically do that with a shovel it would probably take me hours. Okay. And so that is the ratio. It's really more like a th00and to1. I say 100 to one just to air on the side of being conservative but it's really more like a 1000 to1. Some of the stuff that you can do while the lights are on. There was a cable sabotage that brought Spanish rail to a halt. And this is when you know h Spain, you know, who just had a a unprecedented power outage the other
31:00 - 31:30 day. So here's what happened. The cables had been a target. Although they had little monetary value, they're only worth around 300 bucks. Maybe there's some copper in them or something like that. They were essentially to the safety of the lines is they allow the system to know where the trains are. If those safety cables are taken, then the line is blind. They added, they're optimal if you want to put the whole line out of service. So,
31:30 - 32:00 there's all these critical points of failure within the system that can be attacked asymmetrically, and that's what we're seeing right now. Poland is continuing to ramp up its uh military preparations and they're vying to be taken under the wing of the French nuclear umbrella, which I'm not sure why this would be necessary if NATO was a a viable union.
32:00 - 32:30 Uh the Polish government now plans to expand its conscription program so that every adult male in the country receives military training. This of course is not a new story, but it bears repeating in light of the fact that they're trying to broker this deal with the French. They of course share borders with Russia and Ukraine and they say it will spend almost 5% of GDP on defense this year, the highest in NATO. And there are still concerns by the Russians that NATO is attempting something in and around Kin
32:30 - 33:00 &Rd. So anything things could pop off on May 9th in just a few days here. We really don't know. The UK is revamping its civil defense and continuity of government preparations. Kier Starmer is trying to get the UK ready for war with Russia. Okay. They're revamping their Cold War era defense plans due to fear of a Russian military attack. Now, you know, we've been so normalized to all of this that we just
33:00 - 33:30 think, "Oh, that's normal." But if I had told you that just this one data point 3 years ago, I mean, people would be in a panic. I mean, in between then and now, we've seen all kinds of rhetoric about mobilizing and conscription and and just so many things have happened. But isn't that crazy? They're revising their cold war era defense plan. These are nuclear defense plans, continuity of
33:30 - 34:00 government plans. The UK is preparing for nuclear war with Russia. And just a footnote, the frog in boiling water. A classified review led by the cabinet offices office is underway to update the UK's outdated homeland defense plan. The plan has not meaningfully been revised in two decades. The updated strategy will cover responses to missile strikes, cyber disruptions, and nuclear threats.
34:00 - 34:30 It will, of course, get this. It will include contingency plans for safeguarding ministers, relocating the royal family because they need them after the apocalypse, right? And coordinating e service emergency services in a national crisis. The review follows Kremlin threats and growing concerns about the UK's civil and military readiness. What do they tell you to do? Ah, get 3 days worth of food. How the West treated other companies is
34:30 - 35:00 how they're going to treat their own people when the hits the fan. Okay. Now, Katherine Austin Fitz, she's a former Trump secretary. I believe she was secretary of what was it? Home and I can't remember exactly what it is. Housing possibly. Anyways, uh she did an interview with Tucker Carlson and she claimed that 21 trillion was what was invested in continuity of government planning for I can't remember what the exact number was, but thousands of miles
35:00 - 35:30 of underground bunkers. But then she goes and takes a big dump in the chocolate sundae and says, "Oh yeah, and aliens helped them build them." So this is clearly a scop. This is nobody I'm ever going to be interviewing on the channel because it's just a way to poison the well of inquiry. So what they do is they get somebody to inject these things which are likely factually correct that the government indeed has a black budget to build underground safe
35:30 - 36:00 havens for when the proverbial crap hits the fan. That part is true. I'm not so sure about the $21 trillion figure. That's a stretch. Okay. That's money that's they got billions and billions for black budget but trillions even if controlled for inflation that's a big stretch. All right. Uh even by today's standards I mean the underground megalopouloolis that 21 trillion could buy you would be one of the biggest ever created in history possibly exceeding what China has under uh their land mass.
36:00 - 36:30 But uh yeah they they just poisoned the well so that it all seems nuts. And so now it's going to be relegated to the land of uh unicorns and aliens, shape shifters, and you know, chemtrails and all that nonsense. But she says that the elites are preparing to survive a near-term extinction level event. And I mean, we've known that for the longest time.
36:30 - 37:00 That's that's obvious. Of course. Of course the government has secret bunkers, right? People say, "Well, you have no proof." Yeah, because it's a secret. It's classified. I mean, it just makes sense that you would throw a few billion in that direction. And I think a lot of it's in plain sight. Like, you remember that facility that Elon Musk was uh criticizing because they were storing government files there? That's a cover for something else. I mean, come on. All those places, they probably, you know,
37:00 - 37:30 on this what when you go in and you see it, what you see is not all there is to those facilities. There's probably, you know, tunnels. There's uh uh levels beneath that. I mean, and it would be so easy to do because some of those places are so cavernous. And I'm sure there's plenty of parts in there that are off limits or, you know, that you can't go past or that it seems you can't go past. So guys, the government has a plan. They're not telling you. Read uh the
37:30 - 38:00 book called Raven Rock. How the government planned to save themselves while everybody else died. Nothing has changed since that time. In fact, they're even more selfish now than they were before. Okay? So, you need to prepare like your life depends on it because it does. Thanks for watching.
