Global Meet-Up 2 Los Angeles The End of the World US Tour

---

0:00Hello everyone. Welcome to the first stop in my end of the world global tour. Um [applause] so first of all I would like I would like to thank Alli and his team for organizing this event. Um as you can see it is an amazing space. I also like to thank you guys for being paid subscribers. Um, as you know, for the past 2 years, I've worked as a high school teacher in Beijing. And now that you're supporting my work, I'm now able to travel more around the world and see for myself what's going on in this world so I can do better geopolitical uh analysis. So, what I want to do today is basically provide a framework for understanding how we got to this point and where we're going. So to start, I want to tell you my first impressions of Los Angeles. It's my first time here and Theo Vaughn invited me to be on this podcast. So um I want to thank Theo Vaughn and his team uh for being such gracious holes. I came in Wednesday and they put me in West Hollywood, a very nice place, beautiful, a really beautiful hotel. And I enjoy walking around the city in Ward sense of the the culture. And I was walking around the um Sunset Boulevard area and the residential area is just beautiful and I'm just admiring the houses, the sunlight, the beautiful all and then I see right in the middle of the pavement is a pile of dog I obviously walk around it. It takes me a couple minutes before I realize it probably didn't come from a dog. So, that's my first impression of LA, unfortunately. And then my next impression of LA is I went to breakfast and I I went to the

2:03cheapest place I could find. I paid $17 for avocado on toast. $17 on avocado on toast. And I was like, there better be cocaine in this thing. Okay. And unfortunately, there wasn't. So, um I I've been walking around the city. There's a really a lot of homeless people. There's a lot of drug addicts. And the impression that I I've dealt these past three days is America is suffering from imperial exhaustion. Uh it's an empire really in decline. It's exhausted. And you know, when I was in China, um I would just hear Americans talk great things about China. and I live in China and I see all the problems and I really didn't understand why Americans thought China was great until I came here and see the world from your perspective and honestly from your perspective everything is great. So let me give some historical background as to how we got to this point. So the year is 1944 and America is about to win this war against Japan and Germany. They organized the bread and wits conference in New Hampshire and the idea is to establish the US dollar as a world reserve currency. The logic of this is very simple. Uh World War II, America had to build a lot of factories to supply armaments for its war machine. Now that the war is coming to an end, what do you do with these factories? And the answer is you turn these factories from manufacturing munitions and weapons to manufacturing TVs, cars for the global market. Problem is uh the entire world is destroyed because of World War II. So America, what America did was lend the world the money in order to buy uh cars and washing machines and television sets. And this became the

4:03basis for Pax Americana as well as the US dollar uh system. Now because America was lending so much money to Europe and to Japan, it needed collateral for this financing and this collateral of course was gold. So the agreement was that US dollars would always be pegged to gold. We call this a gold standard and it worked great for the first 10 years, first 10, 20 years because it allowed the average American middle class uh person to live like a Roman emperor. If you were a white male in 1950s, um you were in paradise. Um you you had maybe a factory job, but with that with that factory job, you could have your wife work at home. You could raise three kids and have them all go to college. You could um go on vacation twice a year. You had two cars. It really was the best life. But unfortunately um America started to waste a lot of this what we call exorbitant privilege, the right to print US dollars. And so America started to do stupid things like for example the war in Vietnam, uh the space race, the great society. And at this point, the world recognized that maybe America is spending too much money. At the same time, the rest of the world is catching up to America industrially. So Germany and Japan um they were deficit in the war, but they're working really hard and now their industrial capacity is surpassing that of the United States. So that what's happened is America went from a creditor nation to a debtor nation. And that's bad because you owe everyone gold and there's not enough gold in the world to pay off the debt. So what happens is in 1971 Richard Nixon declares, "Oh, remember how in 1944 we agreed that US

6:03dollars will be pegged to gold. The gold standard will forget about it. Okay? From now on the US dollar it's all free floating. It's just fi fiat currency. it it we will not give you gold uh for US dollars. So now this creates a crisis of confidence and to resolve this crisis of confidence Nixon does two things. He visits Saudi Arabia and agrees to get them to sell oil only in US dollars. We call this the petro dollar. And the other thing that he does is he goes to China and gets China to start to liberalize its economy to start working in the United States. Uh and basically what China does is use its cheap labor in order to make to manufacture goods for the global economy and sell its cheap labor um in US dollars. Okay. And these two things what happened in the Middle East and what happened in uh East Asia now becomes the new framework for the global economy. And the idea is that uh the Middle East will sell its oil to East Asia so that Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China could then make manufactured goods to sell the world. And all this is being facilitated in US dollars. And all this money because it's being facilitated in US dollars goes back to America. But because of this global system, America now has to shift from a manufacturing power to a financial power in order to process all this trade. Okay. And this is this has led to the financialization, the hauling out of the American manufacturing uh sector. And um this has led to tremendous problems in American society. For one thing, it's led to tremendous inequality. Uh another thing is that uh America now is forced to provide security guarantees for the entire

8:04world. So its military is overextended. Uh this is what is called imperial overstretch. Another thing that happens is there's so much power in the financial sector that leads to corruption. And and this is what obviously led to the 2008 supreme crisis because you got these Wall Street bank banks out of control and they were all engaged in speculation and they didn't really care because they knew that no matter what happened the government would pick up pick up the tab at the end of the day. So uh they engaged in all this reckless behavior and this has led to the world that we live in today. Obama was elected in 2008 to fix these issues, right? To represent the working class. But he didn't do that. That's why in 2016 we got Donald Trump who promised uh to build a wall to stop illegal immigration. Uh he also promised to um um basically prevent the world from taking advantage of America. And this has led to the uh Trump years. And um this system was fenally unstable. But at the same time there was no alternative and so this system uh kept on going but there were all these signs that the system would eventually break down and one of the first major signs was Brexit. Another major sign was the election of Donald Trump in 2016. But the major sign that the system basically uh is now in its twilight or is about to collapse is a 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. And this was beyond the imagination of many American leaders because they grew up in a time when American power was ascendant. the idea that Russia, which is a gas station with nukes, um, is able to defy the American order, that set shock waves around Europe and the United States. What's even worse is that the

10:05sanctions that America imposed on Russia backfired. So, as you remember, um, the Americans and Europeans froze about 300$300 billion dollars in Russian assets around the world. Uh they also kicked Russia off the Swift system and they imposed all these sanctions on Russia. But rather than hurt the Russian economy, what it did was destroy the credibility of the Western financial system. And now countries like China are like, "Wait a minute here. If the United States can just freeze our assets for no reason, then we should not buy that many US assets." So now you see this massive shift from uh buying US treasuries which was previously considered the best investment to now buying gold and this puts additional pressure on the uh US financial system and this war in Ukraine it's it's a test of the credibility of Pakistan but because Russia is a nuclear power there's really not much you can do about Russia you can support Ukraine all you all you want but eventually Ukraine is going to get exhausted. So you can make the argument that Trump sought this war in Iran in order to establish the credibility reestablish the credibility of Pax Americana that ultimately at the at the end of the day the US military is the greatest military in the world invincible and obviously we know what happened. Uh this is not true. The US military it's very corrupt. Um it's overextended. Um it's not very strategic. It's very bureaucratic. And now basically United States is losing this war uh in Iran which is causing even more strain on uh the American political system. But what's happening and this is the most important thing is a domino effect is being created where this global economic system created by the Americans it's now under strain on multiple um nodes. Okay. So uh the big

12:09thing to watch now is Japan because as you as you know from the news the Japanese currency the yen it is collapsing against the US dollar. This is a really bad sign. Why? Because Japan and the Middle East provide a lot of liquidity for the globe economy, which basically means that this liquidity buys up US treasuries, which allows the US economy to continue to be a Ponzi scheme. Once the Middle East and Japan are no longer able to buy US treasuries, if they're not able to invest in the US economy, then the AI bubble collapses, the private credit bubble collapses. And we don't know what will happen. Okay? Because this is a systems collapse. So what's happening in Japan is crucial. And that's why for the first time in a few decades, the United States has intervened to save a foreign currency. It's not a lot of intervention to save the US dollar. But this is the first time in like 30 years, United States has interveneed on behalf of a foreign economy. Some of you may remember uh a few days ago Scott Bessim the treasury secretary he had a picture um he was running on on on a notebook you know Japanese yen 5 to10 billion dollars and people appreci understood this as propaganda where Scott Bezon is trying to reassure investors that the the US treasury will come in and save the Japanese yen but it's also a sign of desperation meaning there's really that many toolkits there that many um um tools that the US Treasury has to stop the global economy from collapsing. So, it's engaging in optics. It's trying to engage in propaganda. It's trying to use these tricks to trick you to think everything is fine when really we only a few months away from total system collapse. Okay? And this total system

14:09collapse. What does it look like? Well, it looks like stock market collapse, financial collapse, United States, right? AI bubble, star credit um private credit bubble. It's all being propped up by liquidity from around the world. This liquidity dries up, the the US economy collapses. Okay. It also means famine in Africa and other places. And it means ultimately the merging of a of the war in Ukraine and Iran, which will lead ultimately to World War II. I think I already think we are in World War II, but you can make the argument that we're we're still in a regional conflict. And so we've reached a point of imperial exhaustion, meaning that the system that United States created in 1944, it's reached its last legs. Okay? Um and and right now the people in charge, these imperial bureaucrats, they themselves are exhausted. They have no ideas. They have no imagination. They're just trying to use as many tricks as possible to maintain this very unstable system. And the more desperate they get, the more anxious they get, the more unstable the system becomes. And so um that is my introduction to today. And uh I hope this history gives us a framework um to have a very vibrant discussion. Okay. So thank you very much. Okay. [applause] Okay. So, maybe we'll take a five minute break and then we'll come back. We'll do a fireside chat and then we'll we'll have a discussion. Okay. All right. You know, that was obviously an illuminated introduction. Um, and I've had a lot of thoughts. It's definitely changed my worldview since I discovered your your videos. And one of the things that I always wonder about is how much of what we're seeing now is pre-ordained versus a kind of series of political accidents like you know Trump getting elected the first time, Brexit.

16:11It feels as though we were almost two elections away from avoiding all of this. Yeah. But when I watch your lectures, I feel like this was almost pre-planned, pre-ordained. Yeah. So I would say we are in an age of imperial decline. If you look at history, empires decline for very much the same reasons and the pattern of decline is very similar. So I I will say there are three major causes of American imperial decline. Okay. So the first is financialization and you know Thomas talks about this in his book capital in the 21st century where as capitalism progresses eventually you reach a point where it's much more lucrative to do financial speculation than it is to do real wealth creation. Right? So let's just imagine you're entrepreneur and you work really hard like Alli, you know, and you create a lot of wealth. You hire a lot of people and now you have a lot of savings. So what you do with these savings is you invest in other enterprises. Okay? You engage in financial speculation and what you realize is wow financial speculation is a lot more profitable than in real wealth creation like opening a business. And this is just how capitalism works. And Thomas shows that over time just the logic of capitalism because it is really the consolidation of capital in the hands of really smart investors then stock market speculation will be a lot more lucrative than real wealth creation. So the example he gives is on average if you put your money in stock market you might get 5% returns. If you open a restaurant or open a factory you might get 2% return a year. So eventually you reach a point where I'm not going to put my I'm not going to go open a restaurant or start a business. I'll just spend my money money in the stock market. And that's where we are today, right? It's much more lucrative to go uh play the stock market or cryptocurrency than it is to open a factory. Okay, that's that's number one.

18:11Number two is you also have the bureaucratization of society. Meaning that these rock species that were meant to coordinate and centralize resources, they become bigger and bigger over time until they become parasites. In the classic example, um, our universities, if you go in university 1950s, it was really about making sure the professors could teach well and do research and administrators were just professors who volunteered four years of their time, right? So professors would become university president for four years then return to teaching and research. That was true for most uh administrative faculties. Now the administration universities is a full-time bureaucracy. And quite honestly there's more of them than there are professors. And because there's so much of them, they're always causing problems in order to justify their existence. And that's why we have DEI and political correctness and student centered learning because they want the students to complain in order to justify their existence. And that's why it's almost impossible as a professor to teach because if a student complains a dean's going to come to you and spend the next few months investigating the complaint even though the complaint may be completely warrantless. All right. So there's a huge problem in universities and a lot of the reason why is burers expand because bureaucrats have children and they need to put their children somewhere. So it's often in the bureaucracy and so that's why bureaucracies expand over time. This again it's pretty consistent pattern in human history. And the third thing uh that's driving all this is the idea of elite overp production. There's a civil war going going on between the Wall Street financial elite which has controlled America since the Clinton Obama years and now you have the the Silicon Valley tech oligarchs who are trying to uh rest control over policym

20:11in Washington DC. Okay. 2008 because the tech because the financial elite were able to control Washington DC they could force a bailout. Now what San Altman and other techs want to do is basically get Trump to nationalize data centers. So the cost of AI shifts to the government. Okay. Basically government subsidies for San Alman and and his brethren. So that is why empires decline over time. These three reasons. Okay. You have financialization, batization and then you also have lead of production. Now it does seem there is some coronation going on right and the reason why is this secret societies because they practice the occult they have um understanding of tens of thousands of years of human history they understand the broad scope the broad pattern of human history and so they're able to anticipate events but not only do they do that but what they recognize is we can't control the course of human events but by working together we can accelerate the course of human human events. And why is that important? Because we we tend to make a lot of money doing this, right? The financial system will collapse, but if we if we can control when it will collapse, we will make all the money, right? It's going to collapse in later, but if we're able to pick the right time when it collapses, then we will make a killing. And that's why they're so interested in astrology and esquetology and all these things. So in many ways it does seem coordinated but we have to remember that these people are not are first and foremost accelerationists. They cannot change the course of events but they can accelerate the course of events. And we're already seeing this where you look at the 12 years and this past year he's done what uh many presidents will do in about 10 years, right? We are seeing so much change these past few months. And the reason why is we are really at the

22:12end of empire. And so what they're trying to do is they're trying to accelerate the collapse of empire and then basically uh create the conditions for a new empire to arise whether it be in Israel or Argentina or China. Okay, they're trying to accelerate events so as to maximize their profit. So 1944 until recently we had a a world order, liberalism, neoliberalism and now we are staring down the barrel of a new world order that is much more uncertain. much more dangerous and definitely much more unequal. Are we just experiencing a regression to a historical mean which is this is the law of the jungle. That's what most of human history has been. We had 70 years of prosperity. That's just really a blip. Or is it the opposite? Is actually the historical mean prosperity, collaboration, globalism, and we're actually entering an aberration. Yeah. Okay. So, one text that a lot of these tech oligarchs obsess over is Isaac Asmos foundation series. Okay? And the idea of the foundation series is this this is like an empire. And it's been around for 10,000 years, but it's in decline. And this decline will last thousands of years, the dark ages. And the dark ages means a time of tremendous human suffering. And so what they're trying to do in the foundation is trying to shorten the lifespan uh of the dark ages and create an empire as soon as possible in order to reduce human suffering. And believe it or not, but a lot of these people, people like Peter Theel, especially Peter Theo, but and Ellen Musk, like they see like the ultimate purpose is to prevent humanity from entering the dark ages. Because if you

24:12know any history, okay, you know that whenever it's decline, what happens now is the dark ages. Just like 100 years of complete and utter chaos. Think of the fall of the Roman Empire. Okay? uh think of the bronze age collapse. They understand that impaired decline, impaired collapse just means tremendous human suffering. The complete breakdown of civilization, just the most abhorent behavior, okay? And they they're thinking to themselves, how do we prevent that from happening? And that's what they see their mission as. That's why, you know, they're so obsessed with data centers and AI and going to Mars because they believe that the technology could be a loophole in the grand course of human rise and decline, the grand story of human rise and decline. Like, can we create technology so that we can skip from empire to the next stage of human evolution? Okay, that's that's what they believe. Does that make sense? Yeah, of course. Of course. This is my last question because I've seen some of the questions you submitted and they're fantastic. So, we'll make time for those. You know, I see a lot of young people in this crowd and I'm I'd like to think I'm still young and uh I am scared. So, when I watch your videos and I look at the state of the world, it's uh it seems pretty dark. But I know that uh you've spoken to this and I would love to see, you know, your advice for young people, I guess, to avoid them falling into nihilism, which I suppose is his own scop. you know, we don't want to feel learned helplessness. We want to feel like we can do something about uh the future. And uh I'd love to hear your take or your advice for young people going into this new uh paradigm in the world. Right. So I think a lot of the fear and anxiety comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of our nature, where we came from, what we're doing here, where we're going. Um, if you study the occult, if you uh read the divine

26:13comedy, if you read the great books, what you recognize is that first and foremost we are spiritual beings. That we are pure consciousness and we are constantly connected to the divine. That our consciousness exists in infinite dimensions and there's a beauty uh there's a real power that is inherent in us. But we have fallen asleep. We have been blinded and we have been tricked into believing that no, we are just um a body, a husk. And this husk is all that we have. So we must cherish it. And once it dies, then we die with it. And we've forgotten where we came from. And it's because we've forgotten and they've been able to trick us. That's the source of our anxiety. That's the source of our fear. And so my advice is to reclaim your heritage, okay? We we're not husk. We're not just like these monkeys here to for fornicate and pass on our genes to other generations. We are divine spiritual beings that is part of the great consciousness we can call God. God is in us and we are in God and we're here to experience things that we couldn't experience in other dimensions. And I would say the like the most important thing we exper we can experience here that we can't experience anywhere else is the idea of family. Okay? Like having someone you truly love and then together raising a family and then loving your children and seeing seeing them grow old. If you read Homer, um what the Odyssey tells us is that is the greatest joy, the greatest purpose of being alive, of being human, to love your family. Uh I'm not sure if you've seen Christopher Nolan's film. I have not seen it, but reading the Odyssey, I will tell you that um that's a special

28:14theme of Homer. Remember Odysius goes to Trojan War seeking fame and glory. like Achilles, they all go to Trojan War seeking fame and glory and prestige. And what they recognize is no, what really matters at the end of the day is family. Having someone who believes in you, some having someone who loves you, that's the real purpose of of being here. And so we have to as a species, as a people read the great books appreciate their meaning because they are really challen in in in their text and then reclaim our heritage as spiritual beings. And once we do that then this marks a new age in humanity and everything that's happening will be nothing in the grand scheme of things. We have not really at all manifest our true power. Imagine a world in which we are fully conscious of our divine heritage and we are pursuing our purpose our tilos in life. Well, I think that sort of world would be a magical world full of powers we could never previously imagine. Okay. And there are some occultists who who who who believe that we've created this world before. It's called Atlantis. Okay. So, we humans what we're capable of doing is uh beyond our imagination. Now, I mean, I know this world looks impressive. We have like airplanes. We have the internet. But that's just because we put our minds to it. That's just because we want to create this world. So imagine if we want to create a world in which there is peace and prosperity, in which the human spirit is free to fully roam the universe. Then I think that world will be even me be more more magnificent. Okay. Yeah, we have questions many of them very good ones. So there's a question from Josh.

30:15In my opinion, the most critical war in the world is not an external physical war like those in Ukraine, Israel, and Iran. It's an internal war within each one of us between materiality and spirituality. Do you feel like it's more of an internal war? Yeah. So if you look at all the major religions whether it's Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, they all say the same thing which is we ourselves our consciousness is a fractal of the universe. Okay? So we're always connected to the universe and the universe is always within us. We're just a reflection of the universe. So what happens inside of us is reflected throughout the universe. I know this is hard to imagine but all of these people, all these different religions working in different cultures, different uh times, they say the same thing. They emphasize the same point. And the point is the real battle between heaven and hell is the battle within us. Uh the moment we choose to do to do good, uh the world will be a better place. The moment we choose to do evil, the world will be a worse place. And the classic example that I use is the Iliad by Homer where you know Achilles at by the end of the Iliad has done all these demonic things. He caused the death of his best friend Petrous. He killed Hector and is constantly mutilating his body and he's doing so in front of his parents pri and Hecuba. He's causing all this tragedy and pain throughout the story. And the Iliad ends with Hector's father, Pryam, forgiving Achilles, going sneaking into Achilles tent, kissing the hand of the demon who killed his son, and like humbling himself before Achilles. And that act, it sounds so insignificant,

32:17but it changes the entire course of the universe. Not only because one, it allows Achilles to forgive himself. It allows him to redeem himself from all his evil. Um, and it causes a reconciliation between Achilles and Pry so that they leave as good friends. But this idea, this story, it's captured by Homer and internalized in the Iliad so that when we read it, it becomes part of us as well. Okay. So, it's but you're like, well, but that's because someone was there to record it. The universe is recording every single thing we do and it's it's remembering everything that we do. And so imagine where you know like you you forgive an enemy and it's only the two of you who experience this but the universe sees this and the universe records it and then what the universe does is it implants this memory into our imagination so that one of us like Homer could write about it and then it becomes part of the universal consciousness. So the universe is almost magical in this way and so we can choose to do good, we can choose to do evil and we have to remember like everything we do will have an impact in the universe. Emanuel Khan talks about this and he says it is a categorical imperative and the negative categorical imperative is everything you do imagine that whatever you do everyone in universe does at the same time. If you laugh, if you smile, everyone in the universe laughs and smiles with you. If you get angry, everyone gets angry with you. So ask yourself like what kind of world do you want to live in and then just be that world and the world will become it. Question from Jessica. Why will Christians triumph over people with progressive secular values I suppose in the US? Yeah. Okay, that's a [clears throat] really good question.

34:17So, um, right now in the United States, the professional managorial class, and I imagine there's a lot of us in that in this group, okay, I'm also part of the PMC, uh, as is Ally. Um, we're ascended, okay? We went to the best schools. We work really hard, really smart. Uh, we're very cosmopolitan, open-minded. We're constantly learning. We know we know how to get things done. And um this has led to a great deal of inequality. It's led to a lot of stagn stagnant um stagnancy. And so um the professional measural class, the meritocracy represents the pinnacle of enlightenment philosophy, right? Um in the 18th century when Latin think let legant thinkers like Jac Rouso and Emo Kod were writing they were really hoping for a world like this and a world in which we've transcended religion race and culture and the problem though is even though in many ways the world we're living in marks the height of human civilization people are really unhappy. You know, people feel really depressed. Uh people feel lonely, people feel meaningless. Um people are very very nealistic. And I think the reason why is we are first and foremost spiritual beings. And enlightenment philosophy negates that. The meritocracy negates that. It wants us to first and foremost focus on our material uh needs because enlightenment thinking what it does is it it prioritizes human

36:17reason above human emotion. In fact, it sees human emotion almost as as an enemy. And I think that yeah, maybe for the first 100 years, 20 years, that was great because it's led to a lot of progress. But at the same time um it's denying our true nature. And if we deny our true nature, we can never be we can never be happy. So I think that eventually and I think we're already seeing seeing it, you're going to have a huge backlash towards religion. The problem is that organized religion can be just as problematic as the world we live in. Right? Right? So, think of the Catholic Church during the medieval um ages. And so, um we we have to abandon our focus on materialism and embrace our spirituality. The problem is how to do so in a way that maintains our individuality. That's a real challenge a ahead. Question from Raider. I think I'm pronouncing that right. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. predicting economic collapse in just a few months is pretty serious. How do you find yourself personally preparing for this outcome? Well, first of all, I think our economy has already collapsed. Um, I mean, you just look at how the economy is structured. I mean, the idea that you're paying $17 for avocado toast. That's just absurd. Okay. Um, try like if you're a young entrepreneur, try hiring other young people to do work for you. Good luck with that, guys. Okay. [laughter] Um, so I think we we've already collapsed and they're they're just hiding this from us. Um, I think it's just narrative control. So remember back back in the Biden uh years, it's clear that that the American economy was in recession. So what did they do? They changed the definition of recession. Okay. Uh Janet Yellen um uh just like well no we're actually not in recession

38:17even though actually technically the United States was in recession. So, we we're in a period of impaired decline, which means basically exhaustion, which basically means that um rather than trying to do a good job, the bureaucrats in Washington DC are using either fraud or force to maintain the illusion of of control. So first of all I would say the economy collapsed a long long time ago maybe um maybe even around 2009 2010 because the fundamental roots of economic mise was not addressed right um in 2008 2009 the correct strategy would have been to save the homeowners if that were the decision of Washington DC we would be in a different world right if you save the homeowners then people would have real wealth and they would um want to protect this wealth. So they would work hard and instead they chose to save the people who caused the collapse in the first place. These people should have gone to jail. Okay. A lot of things they do were clearly criminal. Like calling an elderly person who was handicapped and tricking him or her into signing a mortgage he couldn't he or she couldn't afford. That's clearly criminal. That's clearly fraud. and um they got away with it and so I think that you know we we are in economic collapse and um now it's really about what do we do next was that decision to let them get away with it just pure corruption the fact that they were buddies at you know Princeton Yale you know whether it's the chair of the Fed versus Obama or whoever was it just because they're all part of the secret the same secret societies and clubs or was there a deeper reason for for that forgiveness Because in Iceland they jailed them. It's a meritocracy. The most obvious society today is the meritocracy. These are people who went to the best schools and their friends and they like the

40:20thing about going to place at Yale and Harvard is there are absolutely no consequences. Okay, let me tell you a story of like me at Yale. Okay. Um, so I go to Yale and every freshman is offered a job where you do nothing and you get paid a lot of money. Okay. And most people pick um uh work in a library. Okay. So like what happens is like you literally go to library and you sit there for four hours and you do your homework and you you get paid to do that. Like like like Yale is like a welfare state, guys. Okay? It's like the biggest socialist system in the world. And so um I took advantage of this system by working multiple jobs. Okay. So what I did was like no no no no. This is like what I literally did. I got a job in the library. Okay. And so you just go and clock in. Then I got a job working for the AV center, the audio visual center because at in the evening um a professor might show a film. So your job was to go and show the film and then uh take take the VHS cassette out of the recorder. Okay. Very simple thing. Okay. And then I also did something called two walk which is like you just like uh walk a uh female student across the street. Okay. I did all three jobs at once. All right. And most time it wor it worked out well. But one evening while I was doing two walk uh I went in to open the uh projector. Okay. I turn it on then I left to do my two walk. I come back an hour later and the professor is freaking out because she's like this projector isn't working. I'm like okay so what do you want me to do about it? You know go fix it yourself. It's like you're you you're the one who's supposed to fix this for us. Like I don't know how to fix this. I was never trained. And like she was so pissed. I didn't care at all. I was like, "Well, you know, too bad, man."

42:22You know, so she got pissed. So pissed that she wrote a letter to the president of Yale complaining about me. And so um the AV my boss who's head of the AV center calls me into the office and he's like um yeah so this professor says that uh you were an and she wrote a letter to the president of Yale University complaining about you but I'm sure you have a side you you have your story. I want to hear both sides. I was like, "There really isn't another side to this story, man. There just isn't." It's like, "Sorry, I can't even bother to to like explain to you what happened." It's like, and then he's like, "Okay, well then you're fired." Like, "Okay, I don't care." And that's it, guys. Okay, that's Yale. So, like, if you go to place like Yale, you pull the you do the dumbest stuff ever and you're never punished for this. So, imagine what happens if you go work for Wall Street and then you go work for Washington DC. You It's the same mentality, man. Okay, you do the dumbest thing and you never you're never punished because you're part of the elite. You are the chosen, right? You are what Plato said calls the philosopher king. You were selected based on your merit. You're just superior to everyone else and therefore you should never have to have to suffer consequences for anything. And that's what and that's what hap and that's that's that's the world we live in. Okay? You go to Washington DC, you meet these bureaucrats guys, they're not not smarter than you are. They're just more privileged. They they have a sense of self- entitlement. You go to Wall Street, they really are not smart. It's just like they went to the right schools, they knew the right people, but they think they're smarter than we. And so therefore, they do more stupid things than we. Okay? So it's just it's tribalism in many ways. Um, it's it's privilege. It's blast. It's privilege. These are the untouchables. Oh, sorry. Sorry. These

44:24are the brahen the breman class. Archer, you have a a long question. I'll let you ask it. Where's Archer? There you go. Amazing. It's okay. That's the question is I I saw recently that Saudi Arabia Pakistan and Turkey USA social defense stuff like that and I just were to see what you thought about it in terms of then creating their own like coatas and how that would uh impact things like bash if Israel and Turkey recently this year. Yeah, that's a great question. Okay. Yes. Um this is a huge uh development where Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have signed a mutual defense treaty and this expands the uh alliance between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Remember uh Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a mutual defense pact a a couple years ago. Um and so um this is interesting because Turkey and Israel have been butting heads for the past few few months and Saudi Arabia is now being attacked by the Houthies and Saudi Arabia is planning a offensive against the Houthies. Um here's what I read. Okay, like there may there may be like a dozen possible interpretations but um my understanding is this. ultimately Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, they're all American vassel states. And so if you go to the national defense strategy uh of the Pentagon, the the the strategy is very simple. Okay, we the we the United States are going to retreat or withdraw from being Pax Americana, basically the last guaranter of global security. Okay. And what that means is we we have to defend every region, every nation, and like screw that because it's too expensive, it's too hard. And instead, we're going to

46:24use balance of power. Okay? We're going to create situations where nation states balance each other out. So the idea is that in Europe, uh NATO will balance out Russia. In East Asia, Japan will balance out China. and in the Middle East um the GCC and Israel will balance out Iran. Okay? So they're trying to create balance of uh of power. And so I see a lot of things that are happening as part of this larger strategy. So the alliance between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, that's one aspect of the strategy. But also, if you've been following the news, um um I think Kuwait and Ban um have agreed to buy 5,000 Patriot missiles from the United States. Okay. And and so what's happening is that the United States is offloading um the defense obligation to these nations. And so that that's what's that's what's happening. So I think like in a short term uh this alliance means a multicultural sorry a multinational coalition against the Houthis. The Houthies are huge problem for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia cannot defend themselves against Houthies. So they're trying to bring in uh Turkey. Okay. This conflict between Turkey and Israel. It's all theater. is that like like just ask yourself where the oil uh um where where Israel gets its oil. The answer is Turkey. Okay? And as long as Turkey is providing oil to Israel, uh they're not going to go to war. Okay? So um so all this is um basically heralding Pax Judea. It's it it's all part of the transition from U Pax Americana Americana to Pax Juda Judea in the Middle East. Okay. Just as a followup from that, you know,

48:25when when America and Israel attacked Iran, it really proved that those GCC nations were really just vassels for the United for the US Empire. How does their relationship the US and the Gulf countries and the the issue of the Houthis all you know factor in in the larger picture for example in in in this uh this agreement and also just the battle against the Houthies and and Pax Judea. Okay. So the GCC was created um out of the petro dollar system right? Yeah. Um, so, uh, the Pedro system was great for the GCC because now they could sell their oil, um, all around the world and not have to provide not have to provide for their own defense. And so that this is what's led to the rise of the GCC. Um, they were able to e economically progress very very quickly, but it's all unstable because um, what do you do about Iraq? and the United States was like, "Don't worry, we'll we'll we'll deal with Iran." And really, if if that's the case, then what the United States should have done and what I think a lot of people um wanted to do um is basically prop up Iraq. Okay, does that make sense? Okay, you you want protective GCC. It's a vital part of your petrol system. So you prop up Iraq as a counterbalance to Iraq because Iran is not part of your global economy. So you bring Iraq into your global economy and then you create balance of power between Iraq and Iran and then you limit Israel. Okay? And like as an empire this is how you should behave of power, right? Um so you rather than invade Iraq, you economically develop Iraq. And during the Clinton years, that was actually the agreement. People forget this, but during the Clinton years, there was almost a side deal between Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton where these American companies would go into Iraq

50:26and get the oil for really, really cheap. It was a great deal for the United States. And it made a lot of geopolitical sense because now with a emergent Iraq, you can now balance out Iran. The thing you don't want to do, the last thing you ever want to do is go invade [clears throat] Iraq because then you create a huge problem with with Iran. Now, Iran is a regional superpower. Like, the last thing you would ever do is go invade Iraq as an empire. And you're like, well, why that why did they invade Iraq then? All right. Okay. And the answer is something called the Clean Break Memo of 1996. Clean break memo. All right. And the idea of the clean brick memo is to create Israel as a reg as a regional hegeimon. Okay? Rather than create balance of power in the Middle East with Pax American in charge, you have Israel emerge as the regional superpower. It's called the clean break memo. There's exactly one page. It was written by a few people but two of the most prominent were Richard Pearl and Douglas 5. Okay. Why is this important? Because Richard Pearl and Douglas 5 wrote the memo for Netanyahu in 19 in 1996 u because he was a new prime minister and he promised a a clean break from the Oslo peace process. Right? The Oslo peace process was about creating regional stability. Uh it was about creating bouts of power. It was about bringing peace to the Middle East so that they could trade together under American protection. Clean Break was saying, uh, screw that. Okay, screw the peace process. Israel will now dominate the Middle East by reging ch regime change Iraq and regime change Syria. Okay, that's that's what the clean book memo called for. and the two one two two authors Richard Pearl and Doug Spive they then went on to be work in the

52:29defense department and then with Paul Wolitz the three Paul Wolitz DP sp and Richard Pearl became the chief architects of the Iraq war and here's another really funny thing about these two guys since 1970s the FBI and the CIA CIA suspect suspected them of being Israeli assets somehow how 1970s they were flagged as Israeli assets. They're working as congressional staffers at this point. Okay. Um somehow despite being flagged as Israeli assets, they climbed the Washington bureaucracy to the highest levels and together they were able to um launch a war against Iraq. And again, this war makes no sense from an imperial perspective. That is the most thing you can do from an American perspective and they still did it. All right. Also remember at this time um after 911 the Americans um there there was a conversation between Emmy Goodman and Wesley Clark. Have you guys seen this conversation? Amy Goodman and Wesley Clark. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, basically Amy Goodman's like, "Why are we going into Iraq?" And Western Clark's like, "No, actually, Amy, we're not just going to Iraq. We're also going to go into Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Somalia, Sudan. In five years, we're going to we're going to destroy the entire Middle East." And like imigman's like why would we do that and like I don't know we don't know. Well if you actually read the clean big memo it tells you why the purpose is to create Israel as a regional power. Okay. So so I mean like unless you appreciate

54:29that the entire intention all along was to create Paka it's really hard to understand what's going on in the Middle East. Why the United States invade Iran? We don't know. Even today, no one's explained why the United States had to go bomb Iran. Why is this war continuing? All right. Clearly, the United States cannot defeat Iran in a war. Clearly, this having massive strain on the global economy. So, why hasn't the United States sued for peace? Okay. from an American empirical perspective that none of this makes any sense and the only explanation we have is a clean brick memo of 1986. If you actually go read it u and you analyze what's happened the past 20 years, it all lines up. What they proposed in 1986 is what we're doing uh what what what the American Empire has been doing for the past 20 years. How do we keep the thread for 30 years? Is it it's like a relay? people passing the baton, people retire, people die in this in this world. I mean, are these uh architects still with us? I mean, obviously Netanyahu is, but you know, how do they keep this plan alive for this long? So, if you just look at points of convergence, that'll give you the answer. Okay, so let let me give you some certain points of convergence. Okay, these three people, Paul Wolitz, Richard Pearl, and there's five 1970s they were working for a US senator called Henry Scoop Jackson. Okay, he's very famous because well, first of all, he's a very powerful senator, but also he he's considered a cold warrior. Uh meaning he wanted America to win the Cold War. Now, it's interesting because there's something that he was obsessed about. He was obsessed about forcing the Soviet Union to allow Jews to immigrate to

56:30Israel. That was his big thing. He really cared about that. It's like that's kind of weird like you're a US senator and like you know your your passion, your um your life mission is to force the Soviet Union to allow Jews the freedom to immigrate to Israel. like why do you care? And then you know uh like they interviewed Henry uh Jackson. He's like well it's because of this. It's because first of all I was in Nuremberg as a prosecutor and I felt sorry for the Jews because of what happened to them in the labor camps. Also, my my my um mother was a widow and she worked as a house cleaner for Jews and the Jews were really nice to her. So, they so she she in her will wrote that I must now look after the Jews, right? And and um and and he's like, "Well, I've always had lots of Jewish friends." Okay, so it's just really weird. But someone he was really close with um is a man named Rebeersonen. Rebeersonen. And Rebeersonen is head of something called Habat Lubovich. Okay. So just remember the name Reben, Habat Lubovich. That's one point of convergence. Okay. These three guys who orchestrated the Iraq war, Paul Wolitz, Richard Pearl, and his wife, all worked for Henry Jackson, who was obsessed with forcing Soviet Union to allow Jews to immigrate to Israel. And um Reson was friends with um Henry Jackson. Okay, that's one point of convergence. Another point of convergence is um Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg in an interview said, "So, um, when, uh, my parents had three daughters

58:30before they had me, and they really wanted a son, so they went to see Reberson." And Reberson gave um um a blessing to my parents to have a son. And then after this blessing happened, they had me. Okay, now you hear the story and again guys, you can fact check this, okay? You can like on your phone just Google this and and this is what the these are the exact words from Mark Zuckerberg. And you hear the story, it's like that doesn't mean anything. Actually, if you read the Bible, it means a lot. You know the Bible, it's it's actually telling you a lot because um remember there are three instances. There actually a lot of instance but there are three major instances where a parents really wanted a son so that they beg God for a son. Okay. So the first instant of course is Abraham and Sarah um they could Sarah couldn't conceive but then God blessed them and gave them Isaac. Okay. And and then what did I Abraham do? Abraham tried to sacrifice Isaac to God and God has sent an angel to stop Abraham from doing so. Okay. And the idea here is if God blesses you with a son, that son belongs to God, not to you. All right? Then you have the story of Samuel who who's a major prophet. Um and Samuel's parents couldn't conceive either. So they went to the head priest Eli and says, "Could you please help us?" Eli says, "God will give you a child, but this child will now be God's servant." Okay? And so that becomes um um Samuel and Samuel is a prophet who anoints David as a king of the Israelites. Okay, again if you know the Bible like like this is all pretty basic stuff. And the and the last is um John

60:30the Baptist whose per whose father was the high priest and um they begged uh God and then God says okay we'll give you a son but this son his mission is to announce the coming of the Messiah. Okay so [laughter] Mark Zuckerberg when he tells you the story you think it doesn't mean anything but actually means a lot. You know the Bible it's coded language guys. Okay. Now, why is this interesting? Well, because Mark Zuckerberg um founded Facebook and he became a billionaire. But you're like, "Okay, well, good for him." Look, guys, it's not that simple. All right. I went to Y 1995. First thing that happened when you get into into the Yo camp is they give you something called Facebook. And the Facebook are the pictures and personal information of the entire freshman class. And we were obsessed with it because like you know you're horny teenagers. What do you do? Well, you go over and you like, you know, look for like really hot guys and girls. Okay, that's all we ever cared about through the entire year. All right, so imagine the potential if you were able to digitize this and allow these people to interact with each other. Well, you couldn't do that because privacy issues, right? Privacy issues. like you know if you're a really hard girl you don't want guys randomly like you know messaging you on on a digital service so the university would not allow you to do that okay why would Harvard let Mark Zuckerberg do that okay not only that but Harvard allowed Mark Zuckerberg to connect the Harvard Facebook with other universities imagine the pH if you're at UMass Amherst or Boston College you can now meet really hot Harvard girls and guys, right? Like like why would Harvard do that?

62:30Well, there's a reason why. No, I'm sorry. This is not the reason why, but there's a connection here. Freshman year, Mark Zuckerberg was a member of Harvard Habad. Okay. And Harvard Habad was started in 1987 and is part of the Habat Lubich movement. Remember it was Rear Sners who blessed Mark Zuckerberg. Also members of Harvard Habad were Nalie Portman and Jared Kushner. The faculty advisor for Harvard Habad uh was Alan Dersitz. Also one of the major patrons of Harvard Habad was Larry Summers then president of Harvard University. Larry Summers, Alan Deritz, Natalie Portman, Jared Kushner was friends with Mark Zuckerberg. Okay. Again, I I don't know what's going on. All right. I'm I'm just I'm just trying to draw these points of convergence, right? Like, huh, that's interesting. Okay. All right. Um, another point of convergence is 2016, Donald Trump is running for president. Who's running Donald Trump's social media campaign? Jared Kushner. Who's head of Facebook? Mark Ziggleberg. Guys, you guys remember the uh Cambridge Analytica scandal 2016 for somehow they're able to access 50 million Facebook users metadata and they're able to design um target advertising to sway their political opinion and Mark Zuckerberg will apologize like I'm really sorry. Okay. But again, really strange connection where um Harvard allows Mark Zuckerberg to create Facebook and become a billionaire. Uh

64:30Jared Kushner is head of Trump's social media um outreach and Mar's, you know, head of Facebook. Really strange coincidence, right? I I I I don't know what what's happening. These are just points of convergence. One final point point of convergence. There's billions of points of convergence around this guy Re. But but here's but here here here's one final point of convergence. Um Benjamin Netanyahu 1980s he is UN ambassador um Israel UN ambassador. Okay. And he's running for politics. And so he goes to Rebrison and says will you give me your blessing? And Reberson is like yes I will give you my my my my my blessing. Um, at this time there's other people who ask for his blessing. At this time there are two people who go to uh Rebrison and um they're about to get married and so they ask for his blessing. And guys, this is on YouTube. Okay, these two people are Sheldon and Miriam Adlesen. Who are these two people? the ones who financed bankrolled Netanyahu's political career in Israel. Okay. And who else did um Shan Aden bankroll? Donald Trump. 2016 2020 Shen was the major donor to Donald Trump's proven campaign. These are all points of convergence. Make what you will um of it. Um, one final point is there's a video of on YouTube of Netanyahu in 1991 going to rebase SN. And there's a lot of meetings between the two and in this meeting um, Rebrison asked Nahu a question. The question is this,

66:31when is the Messiah coming? And Nahu is soon. and repres like let's hurry it up guys. All right, let's hurry it up. The guy station dies in 1994. He's dead. Okay. Um, so Hab Lubberidge, it's part of the Hidic uh Jewish uh system. And um the thing about uh Judaism is it's all family dynasties. So if you're rabbi, your son inherits it. Okay? Um, and if you don't have a son, then you adopt a son and he inherits it. But, but, but the point is you have to pass it on to someone otherwise the dynasty dies out. Guys, go to Habet Lubich website. Okay, there is no leader now and you like ask who is Rebeersonen and they will tell you he is the seventh and final Rebe of Habalich. What the hell is that? final rebe. What that mean? Well, you can speculate. What what they're really saying is the Messiah is coming. That's why he's the final. You don't need a reb. The Messiah is coming. Right. In your lectures, you talk about how in the coming years, religiosity will increase. And in the case of America, a rise in Christianity will be almost necessary for people to come together and survive what's coming. How should people or groups of people that believe in a more mystic or platonic view of the world maybe also in line with thinkers like Kant or Hegel or even Dante? How should one move in one if one holds these beliefs as opposed to a more fundamentalist Christianity and how should one go about community building in this case? Um yeah that's a great question and uh you're absolutely right in like in the future the struggle is not longer between materialism and spirituality. It's really one between organized religion and free spirituality.

68:32Um, and I'm not a big fan of organized religion. Um, so I really do hope free spirituality wins out. And I think the re the like the way that it it will win out is if we get as many people as possible to engage in deep spiritual practice. Um and then what will happen is that the more you engage in deep spiritual practice, the more that people will congregate towards you. Uh because that's how the universe works. Uh the universe is first and foremost consciousness and like attracts like. So if you are engaged in deep spiritual practice then um others will come to you and you'll be able to move towards others but also the people around you will be influenced by your deep spiritual practice even though they themselves may not know it. Um so the trick is to engage in spiritual alchemy to transform yourself in a way that allows others to come to you. Okay. I have a two-part question if that's okay. Um, in some of your lectures or podcasts, I've heard that uh you stating you don't believe in God, but then most recently in the Solomon podcast, you were saying when you were wandering around in the snow cold, you got a sign from God to keep it pushing and keep thriving. And my question is like if you're comfortable sharing, what is your relationship with God or the monad? Um, and how do you see this fabric of reality? Do you have a more of a Gnostic kind of like this world was made by a demi urge and I need to go past that or do you mind expanding on your um I guess your relationship with God and how you view this world? Yeah. Okay. So I mean I'm a product of meritocracy

70:32and so I've been indoctrinated to believe that the world is is material and um for the longest time I resisted or had contempt for the idea of God and um that made me a very unhappy person, a very depressed person. And it was not obvious to me then, but like looking back at my life, I recognized that by denying my own uh divine consciousness, by denying my own spirituality, I make myself a very unhappy person. Uh because it's not denying who you are. And um recently I have discovered um God. But the way I define God is going to be different from how others define God. U because I see God as the universe, the monad. So both the being and the becoming, the um nothing and the everything. Okay? So um so I see myself as part of God, but God is in me. And what I've really um come to terms with these uh past few months is I'm almost now like a messenger for the Monad um or a spark. Um and this something that I wouldn't have come to terms with maybe a year ago or two or two years ago uh because um I really prize my own individuality like I want my freedom. I don't be a messenger for any force. Uh but um given the fact that um my rise on social media has been spectacular, given the fact that um I've been able to impact or influence so many people and given the fact that we're sitting here in this room and so so many of you have come a long way to be here. um I can't explain it except that this

72:34is the will of the universe that this is the um cosmic force that has brought us uh together. So um I I believe that there's a plan there's an intention um at work on the question of the demi urge. I don't go into that because I don't think the Bible is a work of God. I mean the vine comedy Homer the Iliad that's a work of God but the Bible it's um a collection of texts that have been pluggized and if you uh take it literally then that gets you in in a lot of trouble. Um so I think the demi urge is an explanation or attempt to reconcile the a lot of the contradictions in the Bible but I don't buy into the Bible in the first place. So I I don't accept the ex the existence of the demiurge. I don't really accept the ex existence of of Satan. Um I don't think there's evil in the world. I I think the evil is the things that we imagine um and to to explain certain things that we we do. But I think um the monad the universe is all forgiving. It's all love. It's all generous. And we have complete agency to create the world that we want with our imagination. Now this leads to a lot of problems. Okay. As we can see from the world that that we live in. Um but it also um gives me tremendous hope. Just very quick followup. How are you able to retain so much information if we're talking about right now like maybe esoteric or religious things and then all of a sudden we talk about geopolitics? How are you able to bring authors, dates, years so quickly off the top of your head? Yeah. So, um something that I do um that's very important and something something that you're taught not to do in school and almost you're taught

74:34you're made not able to use it. It's it's something called the memory palace system. Okay? And the idea of the memory palace system is rather than focus on on the facts, focus on the story. Okay, the grand structure don't worry also if this grand structure is factually correct or not but try to construct the paradigm, try to construct the narrative. And then what you do is then you organize the facts to fit the narrative. And if you do it that way, it's actually pretty easy to recogn to remember the facts. But if you insist on just memorizing the facts for themselves, um then it's very hard to remember the facts. But also it confuses you. Okay? And that's the system that we have today. Uh academics, scholars, universities are just completely useless because they're too focused on the facts and not enough on like the whole picture, on the whole story. So So when I do research, I'm interested in like the story. I'm interested like you know how does one thing lead to the next and I'm not not focused on the facts themselves when you do that then the facts begin to congregate naturally in a place that is pretty easy to remember right I wanted to go to a related question on like spirituality when in the Odyssey you talked about the the soul the spirit and the mind when they're all disconnected such in Penelopey with Telmicus and Adysius how when they're all disconnected that it led to depression or paralyzation of all three uh people in it. Um I was just wanted the clarification between what the difference you meant between the soul and the spirit because I felt those were the very similar or the same I guess. Yeah. Okay. So I think the best way to understand this is like our consciousness exists on infinite dimensions and it's really where do we put our

76:36focus and if you just put your focus on the body that could come at the detriment of the um soul and the spirit. Okay? So imagine like the soul is maybe the astral body, the spirit is the connection to the universe. Um, and so you're a happy person when all three align together. And all three align together when you focus on your love and your purpose. Um, and um, that's the idea. Yeah. You often talk about um, your years in between Yale and getting a family or some of your hardest years, your darkest years. Um I think often you've used the word depression and and similar things. So um I know amongst that you mentioned that a desire for creating a family unconditional love. Some of the you know top concepts in the divine comedy were what allowed you to basically manifest and attract that. So my question is was there a switch? Um what what happened? How did you get from that deep darkness to the next step of desire for unconditional love and family to then actually be able to physically, you know, obtain that or was it time that went by? Okay, so looking back, I think a lot of the issue is I went to Yale and Yale is an MK ultra system. So what what I mean by that is Yale takes young sensitive people and puts them in an environment that is very high pressure. So it's traumatic and this is intentional because if that's the case they you can implant certain ideologies certain uh values into this person and this person become and this becomes so subconscious that um it almost consumes the entire

78:37soul of this person. And one of the um really repugnant values of a place like Yale is achievement at all costs. Like you could be a millionaire, but that's not enough. You have to be a billionaire. You constantly have to rise and rise and there's really no purpose in that. And that and that's why we live in such a shallow vacuous society. think something like Obama, right? Barack Obama, I think, is one of the um best examples of where the meritocracy has failed society because I mean he had a talent to become president, but he didn't know why he wanted to become president. Like like like what are you trying to do? What's your purpose? But but the America doesn't care and all it cares cares about is achievement. And so um I struggled because that MK ultra programming and my soul were in closely with each other. Okay. So I wanted to achieve but not at the cost of my soul. And so um I floundered through through society. Um I was talented, I was very smart, but I didn't want to make the sacrifices necessary in order to truly succeed. Um I want for example when I was working for for United Nations in Afghanistan, it was pretty easy to make a lot of money. But I knew that um you were stealing from poor Afghans because that international aid money was directed at feeding them. But like instead we international civil servants

80:37were taking this money and going to fivestar restaurants eating sushi in cabal. They literally flew in sushi into cabal when you have a nation of starving people. It's just the most thing. So I lasted a few months and I had to quit. Um, I worked as a journalist and if you want to succeed as a journalist, you have to write things that um, sell and I don't want to do that. I want to write things that were truthful. So, there's this conflict between my MK Ultra programming and my soul and I made a decision that I needed to get rid of this MK Ultra programming. And so I spent years just engaging in activities that really liberated uh myself from MK Ultra programming. And one of these things and it's really interesting is semic comedy. Semic comedy. It it's it's almost like um if you actually get in front of a stage and you learn to tell jokes because jokes is really about exposing yourself, proving you're vulnerable that really begins to disrupt your MK programming. Is there any success is is there any successful comedian who's like a like an Ivy League graduate in any Conan O'Brien? Is he a good comic? Yeah. Okay. But I'm saying like, you know, these military colleges, technical collegologist, and Ivory League are not the same thing. Like the the Ivy League like the way that they do humanities education, it really does brainwash you in in a certain way. Um, yeah. So, I would say some comedy. Um, and I would say also like things like Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Um, because the thing about Brazilian jiu-jitsu is that it really humbles you. It really grounds you. Um, skydiving. Yeah. But also like moving yourself out of your comfort zone um is something that really will help you uh liberate your soul. Okay. I have a geopolitics questions. Um so uh

82:38how do uh want to hear your perspectives on the outcome of uh coming November uh midterm election and um when would the uh ground invasion on Iran by either Israel or America would do given that the low approving rating um would Trump try to switch the whole uh game before the election by just invading that or will he just wait out until whatever the outcome comes out he would uh pursue the final I guess battle uh after the election. Okay. So, I don't think the midterm elections matter. I I I know it's a strange thing, but I I don't think they actually matters in the grand scheme of things. It's possible Democrats take the House, but they won't take the Senate. It's also possible uh the Democrats start impeachment hearings against Trump, but all this is theater. All this is just to like cover your ass. Uh because the thing that like they don't want to happen is a vote on the war. Okay, that so like uh go back to uh 2003 the Iraq war. Congress approved of the war. Congress authorized the war and it really um destroyed many political careers, right? Because you and now on the record supporting the war and they all support the war and so they don't want to be in that situation again. They don't want to be a situation where they're they are supporting the war, but at the same time, they're stuck with the war. Okay. So, I think that [clears throat] it's possible that the Democrats win, but it'll just be theater. Um, it won't really matter for the war. Okay. The grand invasion, I think it's already happening. I think you already have special forces on the ground. Um, you also have MSAD on the ground and I think that the ground invasion will happen after the midterms. Um,

84:40right now they're looking at inserting special forces into Pax Mountain or taking over one of the islands, but um, no matter what happens, it's going to be pretty stupid. I I mean like I sort of given up on trying to figure out what's happening because like you never know what I come up with. They do something even more stupid than I could possibly imagine. Okay. Like this war is just a complete dumpster fire. It's it's it's it's like if you if like you told me um a year ago like Trump would just be tackering every week, right? like, okay, on on Monday on Friday, it's like, I'm going to bomb Iran back to the stone age. On Monday, it's like, oh, you know what? We're just we're friends. It's it's like this so stupid. But is he is he manipulating the stock market? Is that why he's doing it? That's the theory is that he's he's just playing the the markets by making these announcements and then retracting them. Well, certainly people are benefiting from this. Okay. But I think Trump um you know they they say it's chaos chaos magic. Okay. Chaos magic which is like how do you get the American people to tolerate a war um that is extremely unpopular that has no purpose and which is hurting America very badly or you distract them. Okay. It's it's it's almost like chaos magic, right? Like just and like like just the idea that there are no protests on the streets and the the Democratic party is not coming out and saying this word is stupid like like the level opposition in 2003 was intense. Okay, if you go back to 2003 like like tens of thousands of people marching on the streets, okay, protest everywhere. Nothing today. You have nothing today. Even though this war is much more detrimental to the world than

86:40the Iraq war and pe people like Tucker Carlson look back and go I was for the Iraq war now I regret that or I was always against the Iraq war and I just don't think that's going to happen in 20 years about the Iran war that people will say I took a stand against the Iran war when when it was happening. It doesn't seem yeah to your point that people are doing that people have blocked it out out of their minds. It's really strange. This is one of the most consequential wars in our lifetimes and people are not processing it, right? That's Trump's chaos magic. Uh, hi. So, I just want to say thank you for visiting us here in LA and also thank you for publishing your lectures online. Uh, for me personally, they've really helped me to kind of have a different perspective towards the the study of history. Um so I come from a a background where uh higher education was looked down on very severely critical thinking and uh recently I just got admitted to an Ivy League uh institution and obviously you know go going from knowing nothing about the world into an opportunity to engage with the world uh uh more thoroughly. um from what you have said here tonight or or this today um specifically the things that you've discussed occurring at Yale uh by the way I I got into Yale ironically um recent what yeah um my question is what advice would you give for for someone like me and my circumstances to guard against uh as well as uh what what thing would you uh advise for me to preserve as that I engage in, you know, elite uh academia vibe. [sighs] Wow. Okay. Well, I I have three children and none of them speak English. It's kind of weird. Uh my son Chris, who's eight, he's he he's with me. Um and we're going

88:43around the United States. Uh this is our first stop, but we'll we're going to New York next week. He doesn't speak English. And that's kind of weird because like uh in China every parent wants their child to um learn English and I speak English. So um why am I not teaching my child um English and not only that but like we don't even want our child children in school? Um, and I mean having someone who went to Yale and having and like having worked in education for all my life, my um my conclusion is school makes you stupid. And the more school you do, the more stupid you become. Okay? And this is weird. So, so let me explain what I mean. What I mean is I think that [clears throat] left by left our own devices we're pretty smart because we're intuitive. We have a connection to the um monad. We have a connection to the vine. And left our own devices we can learn anything. We can be anyone be anything. We are unlimited potential. Left to our own devices. When we go to school, um the point of school is not education. It is indoctrination and they are trying to make you think in a very rigid way. If you don't do what they tell you, they literally drug you up. Okay? They literally do that. Uh they force boys to take rolin. Um, you know, it's so absurd like now like if you just as a young boy or a young girl, you raise your hand, ask a question, the teacher thinks you're disruptive, sends you as a psychiatrist who did this, who then prescribes rolin. Okay, it's completely out of control. Um, and the

90:44meritocracy is a filtration system. So anyone with any anyone with any curiosity, anyone with any uh sense of rebellion is filtered out of the system. And so those who go to to Ivy League are those who are the most willing to uh please authority, the most willing to be co-opted by the system. You go to every league and for for those four years it is just mesmerizing the wealth at Yale uh the prestige the um limit limitless opportunities and it's almost disorientating and it's designed that way because it it's meant to traumatize you so that they can implant certain ideas into you and um then they have you controlled. Okay. So, think of think of Barack Obama in 2008. He promised hope and change and he promised a revolution of sorts, right? He had this huge movement behind him. comes into office and what he does is he appoints into office Larry Summers, um Tim Gner, um um Rob Rubin, Bob Rubin, the people who caused this mess in the first place. And why did he do that? It's just his programming. Okay, he got perceived of a world in which the Ivy Leagueers are not in charge. Okay, he thinks it is right and proper that only Harvard and Yale people control the world even though the evidence suggests like they are incompetent. He can't perceive that. Um so

92:44um a place like you Harvard it's really it's a cave you know Plato's cave is a cave it teaches you the beauty the seductiveness of the illusion but it's all just an illusion so I don't want any of my kids to go to the Ivy League I don't want any of my kids even to go to school I just want them to be spirits I just want them to be people who are connected to the divine. And my advice to you is how do you avoid the trap? Um, and the answer is well, the moment they you they accept you, you're kind of trapped, right? Because think of think of all the hurdles you have to go through to apply to Yale, right? It's a really cumbersome process. It's probably the most complicated application process you'll ever have in your life. And the idea that you've sunk so much into it and you're like, you know what, um, I now know Yale is terrible. I won't go to Yale. It's not going to happen. Okay? you your your your mind is like, well, I know Y is terrible, but I'll be the exception, okay? I'll go to Yale and I'll escape the MK Ultra programming they have ready for me. I'm the exception. Honestly, if I had to go back in time at age 18 and knowing like what Yale is, I would have still gone to Yale. But I I I but I would also know I've got 10 20 years of Anna suffering um ahead of me. Okay. Because having the Yale education and then trying to remove the MK ultra ring from my um uh system, it

94:44really benefited me in the end. Um it really freed me. Um, so, um, um, I think it was a worthwhile process. It's just like really painful. Um, and I don't want my children to go through that process. Um, I had a geopolitical question about something you said earlier. I didn't quite understand when you were talking about how I think you said in 1971 they chose to separate the US dollar from the gold and how that led to the problems that we have now because they tied it to like the oil and and the manufacturing in China and stuff. But does that mean that like if they change it to where the dollar is connected to gold again or some other mineral or like metal, would that fix things in the financial part? Yeah, that's a great question. Okay. So, um the problem is the Euro dollar system. Okay. The Euro dollar system all it means is US dollars that are outside the US economy and are in the global economy. Okay. There are certain problems with this system. Number one is we have no idea how much EUR dollar there is. Okay. But it's probably a lot. Number one. Number two is a lot of these Euro dollars again US dollars outside the US economy are counterfeit. they're fake. Um, and so how do you build a system uh that reestablishes [clears throat] the gold standard? The answer is you can't because you don't know how much US dollars are actually flo floating around. So the only solution then is to at the end of the day burn down the US economy. That's like literally what they have in planned. I I I want us to be clear about what what money is. Okay? If I'm the elite and what I want to do is basically make you work for me. Okay? So, for example, I want to build a house, but

96:45I'm too lazy. I don't want to build a house myself, right? So, what do I do? Well, I get others to work for me. And to solve this problem, um, historically, there have been different solutions. Okay? The first solution, of course, is slavery. So I just go and say you know like if you don't work for me I'll come kill you. Okay. Um but um a better solution is to use money. Okay. And so I give you money and then you come work for me. Okay. It's the same system because because what what I'm doing is I'm extracting your energy. Okay. So money is a mechanism to extract um your energy. Okay. The reason why you agree to your energy being extracted is you can then take this money I given you and extract the energy of of other people as well. Okay? Does that make sense? Like you're like now I want to buy a boat. So like I need someone to go build me a boat. So I'll give that person money to build a boat. Okay. So this entire system works as long as we believe this money has value. But imagine the amount of US dollars being printed today. It's obscene, right? That's why you have $17 avocado toast. Okay? When you have $7 toast, it probably tells you the money isn't worth that much. Okay? Also like the idea that SpaceX is worth $220. That's is that's just stupid. Okay. So, we've reached a system where we don't see any value in US dollars anymore. And that's why young people refuse to work. It's like they understand this, right? Why I'm going to work hard um for $50,000 a year when that doesn't get me anything. How much is a house? Like $2 million? Like, how long do I have to work to get a house? Right? So the only way out of this is to

98:48destroy the US economy. Okay. So imagine the great depression 1929 stock market collapse. Then you have a great depression where people are unemployed. They have no money and then they beg to be sent to war. They beg they beg to work in a factory. Okay. But but to get to that point you need people to suffer for like 10 years. And and that's the plan because like the entire point is not um to give you money. The point is to make you want to work hard. Should we wrap things up? Yeah. Thank you so much. [applause]
