In 2024, you made three predictions that

have come perfectly true. Like Trump

would start a war with Iran. And you've

made a series of new predictions. Yes,

and I'll explain each prediction one by

one. Okay, so first, I predict that

Trump will get a third term. But isn't

this constitutionally illegal? It's not.

The president now has emergency war

powers. And so he can actually delay the

election. My second prediction is Iran

is now up for a war, and the United

States will institute a national draft.

Meaning that if you're between 18 and 24

in America and you're male, you'll be

automatically put into the draft system.

And they just passed a law that says

that starting in December, you'll be

automatically registered. Which means

you're obliged to go and fight. Exactly.

Next, the world will move towards an AI

civilian state. So, everything you do

online is being recorded to figure out

how to control you. And then, this is

the most controversial prediction. This

is pretty bad. And I'll explain why. And

also, I will tell you why this war can

only lead to World War III. Why? There's

a very strong possibility that the

American empire will collapse. And also,

I'll show you what the Russians will do,

and how the private bankers are

controlling you.

>> I'm not owned by anybody. That's what

This is super interesting to me. My team

gave me this report to show me how many

of you that watch this show subscribe,

and some of you have told us, according

the channel randomly. So, favor to ask

all of you, please could you check right

now if you've hit the subscribe button.

If you are a regular viewer of this show

and you like what we do here. We're

approaching quite a significant landmark

free thing that you could do to help us,

my team, everyone here, to keep this

show free, to keep it improving year

over year and week over week, it is just

to hit that subscribe button and to

double check if you've hit it. Only

thing I'll ever ask of you.

Do we have a deal?

If you do it, I'll tell you what I'll

do. I'll make sure

every single week, every single month,

we fight harder and harder and harder

and harder to bring you the guests and

conversations that you want to hear. I

stayed true to that promise since the

very beginning of the Diary of a CEO,

and I will not let you down. Please help

us. We appreciate it. Let's get on with

Professor Dieng.

There's so much going on in the world at

the moment that it's quite confusing for

an ordinary person like me, and you've

blown up across the internet because

you've been able to demystify all of all

of this craziness, but also because in 2024,

2024,

you made three predictions that have come

come

perfectly true.

Some might say unfortunately.

Unfortunately, yes. What were those

three predictions? My first prediction

was that Trump would win in November 2024.

2024.

Second prediction is that he would start

a war against Iran.

And the third prediction is that the

United States would lose this war, and

in losing this war, this would radically

reshape the geopolitical landscape. How

did you know that Trump would start a

war with Iran? The simple answer is

this. The The United States have to

invaded Iran because it has no choice in

the matter. If it were not to invade

Iran, it would lose its empire. Its

empire is based purely on US dollar, the

petrodollar, which is a Ponzi scheme.

If it did not invade Iran, then people

would choose not to trade with it

anymore. People would choose to not buy

US Treasuries. Why? For the longest

time, this system worked fine.

But then, in February 2022,

Russia invaded Ukraine. Yeah. That

wasn't the issue. The issue was the

American response.

The American response was to sanction

Russia, and we moved Russia from the

Swift global payment system. It also

ordered the Europeans to freeze over 200

billion dollars

in Russian assets. And this is a problem

because the very basis for having the US dollar

dollar

as the global reserve currency is that

it would remain politically neutral.

It It The Americans guaranteed seamless

and politically neutral

international exchange.

So, if this trend continues,

right? If you don't do anything about

Russia, Russia will take over Ukraine.

And Russia then would build an alliance

with China and Iran. If you look at

these three countries on a map, Russia,

China, and Iran, this is the entire

Asian continent. And then what they can

do is this. They can say, "Okay,

the United States is a bully.

They force us to play by their rules.

They get very angry if we don't play by

their rules. So, let's not play with the

United States anymore. Let's just trade

amongst ourselves."

And then what they can do is they can

build a

Eurasian railway system connecting

Russia, Iran, and China together.

And then what this would do is negate

American sea power because it's American

ships that patrol and protect

the oceans.

And then what happen is the world,

Europe, Middle East, Africa, India, East

Asia would look at this trading block

and think to themselves, "Wow, these

guys, the Russians, and Iranians, and

Chinese, they use gold

as their medium of exchange.

Gold is valuable.

The Americans, on the other hand, use US dollars

dollars

as the medium of exchange, which is not

valuable. So, am am I better off with

the American system or this new BRICS system?

system?

What's BRICS? It's an acronym. It stands

for Brazil,

Russia, India,

uh South Africa, China. So, am I right

in thinking because Iran, Russia, and

China were colluding, it threatened US

dominance, which is driven by the world

using the dollar as the primary currency

for trading? That's correct. Okay. So,

they felt they needed to invade because

then they can control more of the Middle

East. Right. So, by attacking Iran,

certain things happened. Okay? The first

thing that happened is that

China is now cut off

from Middle East energy. China

China

receives anywhere between 50 to 60% of

its energy needs

from the Middle East. Not just Iran, but

also Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

A lot of people say that China today,

it's reliant on renewables, solar,

wind. And that's true to a certain

extent. Remember that China, it is an

industrial powerhouse. So, it needs

energy from everywhere and everyone.

everyone. So,

So,

the fact that China is losing all this

energy from the Middle East presents

China with a long-term strategic vulnerability.

vulnerability.

Okay, that's the first thing that happens.

happens.

Second thing that happens is that Europe

is now in trouble because remember,

because of the of Russia's invasion of Ukraine,

Ukraine,

Russian energy was sanctioned.

And so, Europe relied more on

Middle E- on the Middle East for its

energy needs, especially Qatar.

And now, Europe has lost all of this

oil. So, you and then you have Japan and

South Korea, these two powerful East

Asia economies are also reliant on the

Middle East for its

energy. So, now question is

if you're not getting your energy from

the Middle East, where can you get your

energy from? And there's only two answers.

answers.

Either Russia

or the United States.

Russia is at war. And what's happening

is the Ukrainian drones are attacking

Russian oil refineries and export hubs.

So, the world in the short-term have has

no choice but to look to America for its

energy needs.

And what did Trump do recently? He took

over He took over Venezuela.

Which has the world's greatest

greatest

oil reserves.

He's threatening Canada. He's

threatening Greenland, Mexico, Columbia.

If Trump controls the entire

Western Hemisphere,

the entire world has to beg Trump for

energy and resources. And this saves

both the US dollar

as well as American empire. So, as part

of your prediction in in 2024, I believe

it was, you said that the US would lose

this war, right?

Why did you predict that the US will

lose this war with Iran? Because

Because

the the American society does not does

not have the political will.

Does not have the manufac- manufacturing capacity.

capacity.

Does not have the risk tolerance to

fight this war in Iran.

Iran.

Basically, America wants to fight this

war as cheaply as easily and as quickly

as possible.

Right? So, Trump Trump really thought

that, you know, if I sent my airplanes

to strike Iran and kill the Ayatollah,

they would just surrender. That was like

literally his plan going into this war.

He paid no attention to the culture. He

paid no attention to the history of the

Iranian people. He had absolutely no

respect for

for the nation. And when you do that,

when you disrespect your opponent, when

you underestimate your opponent, when

you yourself are not willing to commit

to the fight, you're going to lose.

So, is Iran's game just a tool to stall

as long as they possibly can?

How they, you know, cuz he's taking out

the leaders. And then do you also think

that Trump thought that just if I just

bomb the leader, then everything will

sort of regenerate itself and we'll be fine?

fine?

What was the sort of fundamental

misunderstanding? There's a lot of

confusion as to how this war started.

Even today, no one actually knows how

this war started.

But, I think that Trump, given his personality,

personality,

he was convinced

that if he killed the leadership of Iran,

Iran,

then they would have no choice but to

surrender. And his proof of concept was,

of course, on January 3rd of this year,

Delta Force went into Venezuela,

kidnapped Maduro,

and they just completely surrendered.

So, in Trump's mind, he wanted to replay

this the Venezuela scenario.

And he

didn't realize that Iran is

fundamentally different from Venezuela.

The short answer is

he is a reality TV star. He thinks in

terms of optics. He doesn't think in

terms of like geopolitical strategy. The

long answer is that the American

military has become a very corrupt and

insular institution

that is trying to generate as much

commercial funding as possible in order

to fund the military-industrial complex.

Did he think that he was going to bomb

Iran, the people would rise up, they

would elect a new government, and that would

would

be that, and then he could control Iran?

That's exactly what he thought. So, what

I want to do now is go to the map.

>> Okay. All right? And I'll show you what

he got wrong.

>> Okay. All right. So, this is a map of

the Middle East.

And the first thing to notice about this map

map

is the topography.

What does that mean? How many mountains

you have. So, this is What's really

interesting is that the topography

between Iraq and Iran are completely different.

different.

And this is important because to In 2003,

2003,

the Americans invaded Iraq, and they won

the war in about 2 weeks. And the reason

why they won the war is Americans

practiced something called shock and awe.

The idea of shock and awe

is that

it is a military strategy that believes

that if you cut off the head of the

snake, the snake will die. The

decapitation strike.

And so, what they did was they went into Baghdad,

Baghdad,

seized Baghdad, and the

regime collapsed, and the war was over.

And they were able to do this because of

the topography.

If you look at a map of Iraq, it's all

flat, it's all desert.

Meaning that you can just fly in your planes,

planes,

cut off the head of the snake, and the

war is over. There's absolutely no way

you can defend against air strikes

because you're entirely a desert.

Now, let's go to let's look at the

topography of I of Iran. And Iran is all mountainous.

mountainous.

In fact, you can make the argument that

Iran is a fortress. Okay?

And so

the first thing is that

that

Iran can choose to fight a war of

attrition. What's a war of attrition? A

war of attrition is a game of uncle.

What's that? Right. A game of uncle is where

where

uh we don't have enough power to destroy

each other. So we what we try to do is

we try to create pain points, leverage points

points

to force you to submit, to cry uncle.

Right? So because Iran is too large

and has 92 million people, it's impossible

impossible

for the Americans and Israelis to

destroy Iran. So what they try to do

instead is

bomb enough targets so that they

recognize that resistance resistance is

futile and they surrender.

Okay? That's the extent of the strategy.

But again, the problem with this is that

one, Iran is much too big. Number two is

that it is a mountain fortress, which

means that you can hide your weapons and

your military

inside mountains.

Right? Which allows you to conduct a

guerrilla warfare strategy against your opponent.

opponent.

And this is exactly what Iran is doing

right now, where their underground

missile bases are hidden inside

the mountains and then they're able to

strike targets throughout

the Middle East. Primarily American

bases, but also energy installations

that are key to the American petrodollar system.

system.

And so, it's a game of uncle where the

Americans are trying to create as much

damage as possible in every nation and

Iran's response is trying to destroy as

much of of the global economy as

possible to force the world to pressure

America to call the war off. So, that's

the situation we are facing right now.

Second thing that Trump got got wrong

is how vulnerable the global economy is. Because

Because

the Iranians can control something

called the Strait of Hormuz.

Okay? And as you can see

on this map, the Strait of Hormuz is a very

very

very narrow piece

piece

of land. It's only about 33 km across.

You can actually swim

across the Strait of Hormuz.

Okay? And what's important is

that the GCC

export 20%

of the world's energy. The GCC The Gulf

Cooperative Council. Okay? So, the Gulf

Cooperative Council are certain nations

in the Middle Middle East that align

politically. So, they include Qatar,

Saudi Arabia,

uh the UAE, Oman, Iran, Kuwait.

They've been exporting energy.

energy.

But not just energy, but also a lot of

byproducts of of energy production

including fertilizer

to the world, primarily

East Asia

and India.

In return, they've been getting um

um food

food

back. So, most people don't don't don't

appreciate this, but the GCC actually

imports 89% of its

food needs. The the reason why is that

they become so rich these past few decades

decades

that the populations have um blown up.

And as a result,

they have to feed the population, but

they don't have agricultural resources.

They also don't have water resources.

And so, they have two major

vulnerabilities, which is food and

water. And they have a lot of these

other these desalination plants around

the area.

And so,

>> What's a desalination plant? >> Okay.

>> Okay.

So, a desalination plant takes salt

water from the seas, and then through an

electrochemical process, turns it into

portable water that people can use uh

for drinking purposes and for

agricultural purposes. >> Okay.

>> Okay.

Right? So, as you can see, the entire area

area

it is extremely vulnerable

to drone and missile attacks from Iran.

So, that's the second thing that Iran

has done, which Trump did not expect. He

didn't expect that the Iranians would

close off the Strait of

Hormuz. And how the Iranians were able

to close off the Strait of Hormuz was

just by threatening to attack any ships

that wanted to cross it. The reason why

is that the ships depend on maritime

insurance in order to operate.

But if there's a risk, a very high risk

of being destroyed, then um

you will not be able to get insurance.

Okay. So, it's not that the Iranians

have said to these ships, "You can't

cross." It's just that the insurers

refused to allow these ships to cross

because it's too dangerous.

And Trump didn't Do you think they'd

consider this before they started

bombing Iran? That Iran would have some

leverage in shutting down such a critical

critical

piece of uh water for, you know,

shipping fertilizer, energy, etc. You

think that they would have known this.

Right, so that's what a lot of people

say, that Trump's stupid, that Trump is

hot-headed, that he was misled by the Israelis.

Israelis.

And there's good evidence to support this.

this.

But I want to show you something. Okay,

it's it's called the

National Defense Strategy. All right?

And so this is

a document that was published by the

Department Department of War.

And in it,

it explains

what the American strategy to maintain

global dominance is.

And in the introduction, what it says is that

that

for too long, America has been bullied

by the war world. America is a nation

that protects the world.

Yet Europe,

East Asia, takes advantage

of American generosity.

The Europeans don't pay for their defense.

defense.

And so they put all this money into

welfare, into a pension system.

The Chinese

have been giving America a bad trade

deal. The Chinese steal American

technology and then use it to make

products that they sell back to the Americans.

Americans. So,

So,

the Americans have been have been

getting a really bad deal

for decades. And President Donald Trump,

he's going to change that by doing four things.

things.

All right? The National Defense Strategy

calls for a four-point program

program

to put America first.

The first thing that

um America's going to do, it's going to secure

secure

the Western Hemisphere.

Why? Because the Western Hemisphere

belongs to the United States. When you

say the Western Hemisphere, what do you

mean? What What region is that? Is that

Canada there as well and So if you look

at a map, we can divide we can divide

the map into the Eastern Hemisphere,

okay, and the Western Hemisphere. Okay,

so everything over here. Everything,

including Greenland, including Canada,

including Mexico. Every part of this

area belongs to United States.

Therefore, you cannot trade with any of

these countries

without American permission or paying a

tribute to the Americans.

And that this is why

that the Americans have parked 1/3 of

their naval assets in the Caribbean today.

today.

It's to It's to tell the Chinese and the Russians

Russians

back off.

You want to come here,

you either pay a tribute

or you'll be attacked.

Okay, so that's the first

point of this strategy. The Western

Hemisphere belongs to America. Something

that they call the Don Monroe Doctrine.

Okay, which is Trump's corollary to the

Monroe Doctrine.

Okay, so that's point one.

Point two is that America wants to

reimagine its relationship with its allies.

allies.

Basically, NATO needs to pay for its own defense.

defense.

NATO needs to go fight Russia in

Ukraine. America will provide support.

It'll provide weapons and financing,

but NATO needs to do more work.

And in these Asia, South Korea and Japan

need to do better job of keeping China

in check.

Okay, that's point two.

Point three is specific to China.

And the idea is United States does not

want to destroy China.

The States does not want to humiliate China,

China,

but China needs to be put in its place.

China needs to respect the power

and the reach of the United States. And how

how

the United States is going to do this

is by strangling China economically.

Right? So, you look at at a map of China,

China,

most of its trade goes through something

called the Strait of Malacca.

And the Strait of Malacca is most

important maritime choke point in the

world. All America has to do is park

naval carriers inside the Strait of

Malacca, and China will lose 90% of its

energy exports. But if they park them

there, China could still go through, no?

No, because you have to go for the

Strait of Strait of Malacca. So, America

has something called the First Island Chain.

Chain.

Okay? And the First Island Chain

prevents China from reaching the Pacific

Ocean. The First Island Chain includes

South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the

Philippines, and Malaysia. That blocks

China from reaching out into into

Pacific. Mhm. So, in order for it to

access trade, it has to go through the

Strait of Malacca.

And for the Strait of Malacca, it can access

access

uh India, Africa,

Africa,

and the

um Middle East. Okay. Right?

And so, by positioning naval carriers

inside the Strait of Malacca, it creates

a blockade, and China would have to pay

a toll in order to access

um the Strait of Malacca.

And the fourth one? And the fourth one

is to

um rejuvenate, reinvigorate

Am- America's defense manufacturing

sector. So, supercharge the US defense

industrial base. That's exactly correct.

Yes. All right? So, what this means is

that the Pentagon, a few weeks ago went

to Detroit and talked to Ford and

General Motors and said, "You know what?

Because of this war in Iran, we might

need you to stop making cars and start

making more munitions and drones." How

do you know they said that? It's They

published it. They published it, yes.

Really? Yes.

So, the United States went to Forbes and

GM and said, "We might need you to start

making weapons with your factories."

Yes, and they're happy doing this

because profit margins are much greater

for weapons than for for cars. This is

the Pentagon, so you can charge them as

you can charge them as much as you want

and they'll pay for it. Whereas, you

make cars, it's for the consumer market

and they may not buy your cars. Mhm.

Right? So, so you're like Ford or

General Motors, the best

deal in the world is to go make weapons

for the Pentagon to fight these wars in

the East that could go on for forever.

So, so so we're in a situation where

okay, look, if you read the news, if you

talk to a lot of people, Trump's an

idiot and this war in Iran makes no

sense at all.

But, then if you just read the National

Defense Strategy that is on the

Department of War website and anyone can

go there and download for free and read

themselves, it's a very clear road map

of what America needs to do in order to

maintain imperial hegemony. And so,

let's let's let's just summarize the

major points. The first major point is

to maintain control over the Western

Hemisphere and create a fortress

America. Which is why he invaded

Venezuela and he said he's going to

invade Cuba. Exactly. And also

Greenland. Look at all the countries

that he's named over the past year.

Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela,

Cuba, Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras.

It's all

the Western Hemisphere.

Right? And they're all together. Second

point is to create divide and rule

around the world. So, imagine a

situation where in Europe, NATO fight

Russia in Ukraine.

In East Asia, China fight South Korea

and Japan.

In the Middle East, Iran fights

the GCC allied with Israel.

What does America do? America can now

sell sell everyone weapons and resources

and finance it. This would be back to

World War II. But it makes them weaker

as well, generally. That's the point.

Yeah. Right? And then what happened is

that $42 that

that

that America has in debt, it would

disappear. Because it would be absorbed

by the world.

Right? So, you can say

look, Trump's an idiot, but if you

actually look at a map and how America

wants this map this world map to play

out, it makes perfect sense. Hm.

Hm. So,

So,

the war is going well for Trump.

The war is going very well for Trump.

Really? Yes.

But you said in your prediction that he

would lose the war.

What is

>> What's your definition of lose the war?

Losing a war means that America would

send ground troops, Iran would survive

the ground invasion,

and this would be so politically

damaging that

chaos breaks out in the United States,

and the US ground invasion is forced to

retreat, and the United States is forced

to retreat from the Middle East. And you

still think that's going to happen?

>> I still think that's going to happen.

So, you think the United States is going

to put ground troops in,

Iran are going to resist, and then chaos

is going to break out in the United

States? Yes.

Okay. So, let me explain to you why

ground troops have to be sent. I mean,

all right. Okay. So,

So,

in phase one of this war, which started

February 28th, and which lasted for

about 6 weeks, the intention was to

decapitate the regime. And you do that

by striking Tehran, and you do that by

striking the military bases and

installations throughout

Iran. It's It's what the Americans call

shock and awe.

And the point is to force Iranians to

call uncle.

But that's not what happened. To To give

up. To give up, basically.

Because what the Iranians did was they

responded by attacking US bases

throughout the GCC. They closed off

the Strait of Hormuz,

Hormuz,

and they rallied their people, okay?

So, rather than surrender, the Iranians

basically doubled down. Okay, that's

phase two of the war.

Now we've gone to phase three of the

war, where Trump

has basically decided that decapitation

does not work.

And so, what Trump's going to do is he's

going to impose a naval blockade

on Iran's naval blockade. Right?

Right?

And so, the question then is

if Trump understands that decapitation

does not work,

then using game theory, What's game

theory? Game theory is the belief that

all the world is governed by rules and incentives.

incentives.

And when you understand the rules and

incentives, you can predict how people

behave. These people will always behave

according to their best interests.

So, in geopolitics,

the nation-states are individual players.

players.

And each nation-state is trying to use

its resources

and um its advantages in order to

pressure other nation-states

to obey it.

Okay? So,

Trump recognizes that the Iranians can

close off the Strait of Hormuz, but not

only that, but the Iranians can also use

the Strait of Hormuz to finance the war.

Meaning that now they're forcing ships

to pay a toll, about $2 million, in

order to cross in order to cross it.

And so, this is a huge advantage for the

Iranians. And so, Trump has said, "No,

I'm going to blockade your blockade,

negating Iran's advantage of the Strait

of Hormuz." So, if you think about it,

again using game theory, I want to

discuss what the Americans will do in

order to force

uh the Iranians to capitulate.

Okay? So, I would say there's a three-

point strategy.

The first strategy is economic strangulation.

strangulation.

You basically destroy the state's

capacity to finance the war.

And there are two ways that Iran is

financing the war so far.

The first is using oil exports, right?

90% of Iran's oil goes to China.

And um this is Kharg Island.

Okay? This this little spot here is

Kharg Island. This is where

Iran will export 90% of its oil

overseas. That's the first

mechanism. Second mechanism mechanism is

the Strait of Hormuz, where the Iranians

now can collect tolls.

Right? So, what you have to do is you

have to eliminate both of these finance mechanisms.

mechanisms.

You can close off both

with an oil blockade, okay?

So, that's strategy one.

Strategy two is

you need

to create as much chaos within Iran as possible.

possible.

You want to turn this fortress

into a prison. And the way you do that

is by storing up ethnic tensions in the

country. So, if you look at a map

uh ethnic map of Iran, what you will

discover is that the Persian people

are primarily in this area, in the

middle of the country.

But, you go to the borderlands, okay?

The border areas, it's primarily ethnic

minorities. And there are two ethnic minorities

minorities

in the country that have always been

problematic for the government.

The first

problematic people are the called Baluchis,

Baluchis, here.

here.

Uh in south

south east

east

uh Iran, by the Pakistani border. They

have a history of insurgency against the

government, okay?

Second people that have been problematic

are the Kurds,

who are primarily in the

uh northwest of the country.

So, if you are the US government, if you

are the military,

your strategy is to establish

forward operating bases

in these areas.

A forward operating base is

uh a spearhead of the military,

where you insert ground troops to hold

an area Okay, so you

>> in order to resupply, in or- in order to

push further into the territory. Okay,

so a forward operating base would be the

US putting troops into the the northwest

and the southeast,

and then using that as a way to uh move

forward into Iran? No, you don't want to

move forward into Iran because it's too

large. You don't have enough forces to

move into Iraq. What you want to do is

this. You want to establish forward

operating bases in these areas in order

to arm

and train

ethnic insurgents. Okay. That you can

also finance as well.

And you do this because you want to turn

them into cannon fodder.

You force You have to force a response

from the Iranian military. Right? So, if

they come in with the army in order to quell

quell

these rebellions, that's great because

now you can use your air power to

decimate the Iranian military. Your plan

right now is the Iranian Iranian

military is hiding inside mountains.

And so, you want to force them out in

the open.

And so, you want to create as many

points of tension in the country as

possible to force the Iranian military

to respond. Right?

Right?

Does that make sense? Uh-huh. Okay.

And now, your third strategy

is to strangle the capital, Tehran.

Because that's the That's where the

political elite are. It's a city of 10

million people.

And the way you strangle Tehran is you

deny them three things. You deny them water,

water,

So, you attack power plants. You attack reservoirs.

reservoirs.

You attack railways that bring

um food into the capital.

And when you do that, these nine These

10 million people in Iran

will now oppose the government and

demand a political settlement.

Because if they need food, uh water,

electricity to survive.

Right? Is there a government?

Right now, there's a debate as to the

true extent

of leadership in Iran. Cuz Trump's

recent interviews, he's saying he's he's

claiming that the the leadership in Iran

are fighting themselves, but then he's

also saying in other interviews that

there's They don't even know who they're

dealing with. Exactly. Iran has a very

unusual political system in that it's a

theocracy. It's a religious government,

it's run by clerics, called the mullahs,

in theory.

And then there's a parallel system, the

state apparatus, that actually takes

care of day-to-day bureaucracy. Okay,

and that's secular.

Uh the mullahs control the morality of

the country, they also control foreign

affairs. So, basically, uh this is

important because Iran has two parallel

military structures. You have the

military, but you also have

the IRGC.

The IRGC are only loyal to the mullahs,

which is the religious part.

>> Exactly. All right? So, you have this

divide in the in the country where the

IRGC see this as a religious war, as a

crusade to kill the Great Satan, and

they want to fight to the death. And the

Great Satan is The Great Satan is the

American Empire. Okay. Uh which is the

source of the misery that Iranians have

been suffering for the past few decades.

And the IRGC, not only do they see

America as the Great Satan, but they

also see this as a global conflict

because they have proxies that support

their beliefs, including here in

Lebanon, Hezbollah, including here in

Yemen, the Houthis, and of course in

Palestine, Hamas. Okay, and and before

Syria was also part of their axis of

resistance. But Syria has been toppled

by the Americans and and Israelis. So,

the IRGC see this as a religious crusade

that is global in nature. The political

leadership in Tehran

sees it completely different. They see

this as a classic primary between

America and Iran, and they want to reach

a political settlement as soon as possible.

possible.

And so, in other words, these

these

ceasefire negotiations, it's really all

for show.

Because, at the end of the day, even if

the Americans gave the Iranians

everything they wanted,

the IRGC still controls

um the battlefield, and they would not

um surrender or or seek peace terms

lightly. Another problem in this

situation is the IRGC practices only

The idea of the Mosaic strategy is, okay,

okay,

you know the Americans the most

effective military ever in human

history. You know that they practice

shock and awe, decapitation.

So, how do you respond to that? You

respond to that using decentralization.

31 provinces

in the country with where own command

and control that is localized. So,

basically, they have 31 different armies

that have their own leadership.

>> That's correct, okay? And when you do

this, it's a fight to the finish. Why

did they do that? They did it because

the Americans possess the most

sophisticated surveillance technology in

the world, meaning they can

easily identify the leadership, and they

can easily track you down and kill you.

So, the only way around that is to

decentralize the leadership and spread

it around the country so that the

Americans cannot kill the everyone. How

does the central government orchestrate

31 different armies in Iran? How does it

get a message out to them? I heard Peter

Hegseth make a a comment in one of the

interviews saying that it takes some

time for the pigeons to get out to the

armies. And what he was saying,

basically, is that

um when the ceasefire was called and

there were still some um missiles

flying, he was basically saying that's

just because it takes a long time to

tell the 31 different armies to stop.

The reality is that, given the Mosaic

strategy, there's actually no way to

coordinate these 31 different military operations.

operations. Because

Because

the Mojahedin was meant to the was meant

to fight to the bitter end. You do not

stop until you completely control the

Middle East and the Americans have been

forced out of the Middle East

and Israel has been humbled.

Okay. So, let's go into the specifics of

what the Mojahedin is. The idea is that

they have an eschatology.

Okay? So, eschatology is an

understanding of how the world should be

and how we move towards this world.

And for the Iranians,

their eschatology is that Iran, in order

to reach its true potential, needs to be master

master

of the Muslim world.

It needs to displace Saudi Arabia.

Because Saudi Arabia is too aligned with

the United States, which is the Great

Satan. Mecca and Medina are under the

influence of the Great Satan.

Because why are there US military bases

in Saudi Arabia?

So, this war, from their perspective, is

a great opportunity to overthrow the

corrupt leadership of Saudi Arabia, but

not only Saudi Arabia, but the entire GCC.

GCC.

Overthrow the corrupt governments of the

entire Muslim world.

And install governments that put

put

God, Allah, first.

So, they're they're not going to quit. Iran.

Iran.

This war, once it starts,

can only to World War III.

That's a strong statement to make. As a

probability, Okay. what probability

would you assign to that claim?

I would put it pretty high, anywhere

between 80 to 90% probability.

>> So that's certainty.

Basically certainty, yes. Explain to me

how that happens. Okay. So, we need to

step back and appreciate um

that there's a global dynamic going on.

Mhm. Okay?

And we need to appreciate

the grand strategy of the different

players involved. Mhm. Right? So, what I

what I'm going to do is this.

I'm going to explain

to you how each nation

sees itself in the world. Mhm. Okay? And

to you and to that, I'm going to use a

chess set, okay? Okay. All right. This

is the king.

This is the political system

of the United States, which is a democracy.

democracy.

And there are certain strengths and

weaknesses to a democracy. Democracy is

vibrant. It's creative. It's flexible.

But its ultimate weakness is polarization,

polarization,

where today

um the different political factions

refuse to get along, and this may bring

up the civil war, okay? Mhm. So, the way

you defeat the United States is not to

conquer it. You can never conquer the

United States. The way to defeat the

United States is to force it into a

civil war,

which then kills the king. To get its

people to rise up against the

leadership. No, you want the Democrats

and Republicans to form different

factions and fight a civil war. Okay.

You you want to create some political

polarization and different elite

factions to take up arms against each

other, okay? Okay. So, this is the

political system, okay?

A democracy.

Now, let's look at the queen. What's the queen?

queen?

The queen is what I refer to as the

grand strategy

of the United States. How the United

States can maintain its control over the

entire world. And the grand strategy

it's already outlined in the national

defense strategy, right? Let's create

fortress America

and then

create chaos throughout the entire world

so that we can sell everyone weapons and

resources. Okay, that's a grand

strategy, all right?

All right. Now, what is a grand

strategy? You need You need to implement

this grand strategy. So, you need attack vectors.

vectors.

All right, the attack vectors

are the rook,

the bishop, and the knight. All right,

so let's go over the three major attack

vectors of the United States. They are,

first of all,

America's technological supremacy. So,

these are the basically the tools that

they use to attack others. Exactly. In

order to achieve the grand strategy. All

right, so air supremacy, right?

Which is the planes and the stuff like

that. Then you have the

the

US dollar.

Right? Because the US dollar

allows you to finance everything. And

everyone wants the um

uh US dollar, okay? Mhm. So, that is the

second attack vector. Now, the third

attack vector is propaganda.

Meaning the United States controls the

world's most powerful media, including

New York Times, CNN. And as such, they

can control the narrative of the world.

Okay? So, these are the three major

attack vectors.

Now, they use the pawns. Now, pawns are

weapons that they can sacrifice in order

to achieve the grand strategy.

And in the case of the United States,

the pawn are the allies.

Mhm. Meaning

I hate to say this,

but the UK,

um Europe,

South Korea,

and Japan.

Okay? And also, the entire

Western Hemisphere.

This is the

Ameri- the Americans, okay? The people

who are most opposed to this grand

strategy of Americans are the Russians.

So, let's go over to the Russian system.

In the Russian system,

the king of the political system is an autocracy.

autocracy.

And an autocracy is good because it

allows for coordination. It allows for

decisiveness. It allows for

um resolve. Long-term thinking. Exactly,

right? That's Putin.

What's bad is

if this guy dies,

there's a succession crisis.

Right? So, basically, once you topple the

the

autocrat, then the system itself

breaks down. Okay, so that's the Russian

system, right?

For the Russians, the grand strategy is

something called the Third Rome

strategy. The Third Rome strategy?

>> Yes. Okay. So, the people in Russia

believe that they are the true

successors to the Roman Empire. And

previously, there were two Romes. There

was the First Rome,

then it moved to Constantinople,

and Moscow is destined to the to be the

Third Rome. And what makes Moscow

interesting is that it wants to unite

the entire

Christian world under its leadership. Um

the main philosopher for the Third Rome

strategy is Alexander Dugin, who in 1997

wrote a wrote a book called Foundation

of Geopolitics. And what he said was

this. What he said that if Russia is to

defeat the Americans, it needs to build

alliances throughout Eurasia

in order to negate American sea power

and air supremacy.

All right?

for Russia? Okay.

The first attack vector, the size of the

country makes it almost invincible. So,

think about the World War II, Operation

Barbarossa, the Germans went into

Russia with 6 7 million men,

and it didn't get very far, okay? So,

the terrain is very important. The

geography is very important.

Then you have the Orthodox religion.

Which is meant to galvanize believers

into supporting Russia.

The third attack vector is artillery.

So, Russia has the best land army in the world.

world.

And we we're seeing that play out in

Ukraine where a combination of Russian

artillery and drones it's devastating

Ukrainian military in Ukraine. The pawns

for Russia are are its soldiers. So,

Russia is able to sustain

many, many

casualties in its military.

If you actually go and interview Russian

soldiers, they are probably the bravest

soldiers in the world. They are

literally not afraid to die

for what they believe in. Okay? So, this

is the um

Russian third world strategy. You can

see how it conflicts with the Americans.

Mhm. Okay?

Now, we go to the Israelis.

Jerusalem, the capital. It's a mixed

system, meaning it's both democracy as

well as a theocracy. And

And

it's good in that the Israelis are very creative.

creative.

But, the fundamental weakness is the

division within society.

Where Tel Aviv and Jerusalem don't get along.

along.

Okay? So, that is

the political system of Israel.

The grand strategy of Israel is called

the Greater Israel Project.

So, the Israelis believe that the entire

Middle East belongs to them from the Nile

Nile

to the Euphrates because that's what it

says in the Bible. This is what God, Yahweh,

Yahweh,

promised Abraham.

So, their intention is to conquer the

entire Middle East, including Egypt,

Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, even parts of Turkey.

Now, let's look at the attack vectors

for the the the the Israelis.

The first attack vector is

is Mossad.

Mossad.

Mossad is the most powerful intelligence

agency in the world in that it is able

to infiltrate

and undermine

given political systems.

And Mossad for anyone that doesn't know

is the secret service. Basically, yes.

Best spy system. Second

attack vector

for the Israelis

is the Jewish diaspora.

Because Jews do business everywhere

around the world.

And Jewish businessmen work very closely

with Mossad.

And as such, they have influence in a

lot of places that they shouldn't have.

And the um third

third

um attack vector

is the Bible.

Why? Because if you're Christian

and there are many Christians who

believe this, you believe that the Jews

are God's chosen people.

So, if you look at what's happening in

uh the Middle East,

um all this conflict between Israel and

Palestine, a lot of this conflict is

being supported

politically in the United States by a

group of people called Christian Zionists.

Zionists.

And these are Christians. They're not

Jews, they're Christians who believe

that Israel should achieve achieve the

greater Israel project because this is

part of God's plan. And the pawns

for the Israelis

are basically

everyone else, okay?

So, a lot of the hardware underpinning

the global

IT infrastructure

um is being controlled by the Israelis.

So, now we go to the fourth player in

this great game, and that's Iran. So, Iran

Iran

it is a theocracy. People are not afraid

to die for what they believe in in Iran.

But, the weakness is that it can

alienate the majority of the population.

It is only a minority are religious

zealots in Iran.

Most people just want to live to live a

decent life. So, they feel that these

mullahs, the IRGC are a threat

to their peace and prosperity, then they

might rise up against the mullahs. Which

is what we've seen over the years,

right? Exactly. So, so this is a

political system of the Iranians.

Their grand strategy is to unite the

Muslim world under leadership. They have

three attack vectors, okay? The first

attack vector are their proxies. Hezbollah,

Hezbollah, Hamas,

Hamas,

the Houthis.

Another attack vector

um is their asymmetrical warfare,

meaning using drones and missiles to

create as much economic damage as

possible. Mhm. Okay. And the third

attack vector

is their geography or the topog-

topography. They are a fortress, so it's

almost impossible to um in- invade them.

All right? So, that's their Shia

militiamen. These religious zealots who

are not afraid to die. Um essentially,

they're all Many of them could be

suicide bombers, okay? And and so, for

them, this is a religious war. Okay. So,

now we're seeing how this entire

battlefield unfolds across the world.

All right? So, I've mapped out the grand strategy

strategy

of these different nation-states who

will be involved in World War III.

Let's look at our present situation,

okay? So, what we have so far is that

the Russians are occupied with their

army in Ukraine.

Okay? This is where their infantry,

their artillery is based.

At the same time, Russia has something

called the shadow fleet.

And these are about a thousand

um tankers that evade sanctions around

the world. Okay? And this is essentially

their navy.

America is the most powerful military in

the world. They have the most

sophisticated air supremacy, as well as

control over the sea lanes. And it tries

not to use infantry

uh because that creates civilian

casualties and that pisses everyone off

in America. Okay?

These releases

are essentially

a mercenary army aligned with American

Empire, doing the bidding of American

Empire. It's fighting

in against Lebanon as well as Iraq.

The Iranians, they don't have much of an

air force,

but they use a lot of drones to

threaten. So, this is where we are so

far. According to the grand strategy,

we can predict how they will make their

moves over next few months, over next

few years. America

doesn't really care about this war

in Iraq.

Because what America wants to do

is force entire world to become

dependent on American weapons and

and resources.

resources.

And you do that in two ways. The first

is you control

the strategic choke points of the world.

And they include the Strait of Hormuz,

but you also want to control the Strait

of Malacca,

over here. Because that blocks off East

Asia. You also want to control the

Panama Canal.

You also want to control Greenland. You

also want to control the Strait of uh

Gibraltar. You can see the American Navy

extending outward and occupying all

these maritime choke points.

At the same time, you You to use your

technological supremacy, your air

supremacy, your drones

to destroy the world's critical energy infrastructure.

infrastructure.

Already we're seeing oil refineries

being destroyed throughout the world.

Oil refineries? Oil refineries, yes. So,

you as as America, you're trying to

deplete the world's energy inventory, so

they're forced to beg you

for to supply energy.

Right? And once this market is created,

then you can

build infrastructure for Venezuela.

You can take over Canada. You can

control Mexico. You can take over take

take over Greenland, okay?

The Russians have no choice but to respond.

respond. Because

Because

if the Americans are controlling the

strategic choke points,

your shadow fleet

is rendered redundant, useless.

So, how do you ship your oil

around the world? We have two options.

I'm just going to build railways to

unite the Eurasian continent, okay? And

I'm I'm I'll transport my oil using

pipelines and railways. The problem with

that is now is now that you're

vulnerable to American air supremacy,

drone attacks.

So, you have no choice but to arm your

shadow fleet. And now, what's going to

happen is this

continent of oceans between Russian shadow

shadow

fleet tankers that are trying to

transport oil around the world, and

these American

destroyers were trying to capture or

destroy the shadow tankers.

Now, the advantage that

Russia has is that America doesn't have

that much naval assets anymore. It used

to, but not anymore.

The other thing is that the world really

needs energy, so you can imagine China financing

financing

the militarization of the Russian shadow

fleet. Why would sir, why to the US try

and stop Russian boats?

Because um in this

global outlook

there are two nations that could provide weapons

weapons

and resources to the rest of the world.

They are Russia and they are America.

So, if America is to become dominant, it

needs to blockade Russia. And what you

do that is by seizing

their shadow fleet. That could if this

were to happen, that would be an act of war.

war.

But it's already happening. What?

Really? Yes, it's already happening.

Where? Iranian

tankers have been seized by the Americans.

Americans. And

And

tankers are being seized in the

Caribbean as well by the American Navy.

Whose tankers?

I believe they are Russian tankers.

Yes, the United States has indeed been

seizing tankers linked to Russia. A

major escalation occurred earlier this

year on January the 7th, 2026 when the

US military and Coast Guard intercepted

two sanctioned shadow fleet oil tankers.

While one was seized directly in the

Caribbean, the other involved a dramatic

chase that started in the Caribbean and

ended in the North Atlantic.

US forces captured the sanctioned tanker

during a pre-dawn raid directly in the

Caribbean Sea. The US military described

it as stateless sanctioned dark fleet

vessel which was engaged in illicit activities.

activities.

These seizures are part of operation

Southern Spear, a strict enforcement of

the US embargo on Venezuelan oil

exports. Both vessels were targeted for

violating US sanctions by transporting

illicit crude oil linked to Venezuela

as well as Iran and Hezbollah.

And as you point out, this is an act of war.

war.

So, those were ships that didn't have a

country linked to them directly. That's

why they call shadow fleet tankers.

Okay. Yes, but they're essentially

Russian. But they were essentially

shipping oil outside of the United

States the United States wouldn't

control. Is that kind of

>> That is correct, yes. Okay.

>> Yes. So

>> So if the US said, "Listen, this is our

oil get lost." That is correct, yes.

Right? So what the US is doing is slowly

expanding its global reach. And what

it's doing that is by signing treaties

with nations that are part of these

choke points. So the Strait of Malacca,

which the United States has signed a

military cooperation agreement with Indonesia.

Indonesia.

And with the Strait of Gibraltar, uh the

Americans have signed an agreement now

with Morocco.

Right? So they are looking for the legal

framework and certification to control the world's choke points, which would

the world's choke points, which would bring them directly in conflict with the

bring them directly in conflict with the Russian shadow fleet. So at some point

Russian shadow fleet. So at some point you think the way that the war starts is

you think the way that the war starts is the US Navy

the US Navy attacks a Russian boat.

attacks a Russian boat. So I personally believe that this will

So I personally believe that this will be a drawn-out process

be a drawn-out process that and there's no real concrete flash

that and there's no real concrete flash point. Because not only

point. Because not only are Russian shadow flanker shadow

are Russian shadow flanker shadow fleet tankers being seized, but remember

fleet tankers being seized, but remember Russian oil farmers are being destroyed

Russian oil farmers are being destroyed by Ukrainian drones. And the Russians

by Ukrainian drones. And the Russians believe that it is NATO that is

believe that it is NATO that is responsible for the sabotage. So what

responsible for the sabotage. So what what what do you think the catalyst

what what do you think the catalyst moment is

moment is when this all kicks off? I think we're

when this all kicks off? I think we're already in the catalyst moment. I think

already in the catalyst moment. I think we're we're already in World War III

we're we're already in World War III because

because this conflict it's going to expand

this conflict it's going to expand outwards

outwards uh into a global conflict and there's

uh into a global conflict and there's nothing anyone can do to stop this,

nothing anyone can do to stop this, right? Because again, you have these

right? Because again, you have these different competing visions of how the

different competing visions of how the world should work and the Russians and

world should work and the Russians and Americans are already at conflict with

Americans are already at conflict with each other.

each other. So the next step will be the Russians

So the next step will be the Russians come into this war on the side of the

come into this war on the side of the Iranians. You think that's going to

Iranians. You think that's going to happen? I think that's going to happen

happen? I think that's going to happen because according to Russian grand

because according to Russian grand strategy, you have no choice but to save

strategy, you have no choice but to save the Iranians.

the Iranians. Because you're trying to promote this

Because you're trying to promote this view that the world is split between the

view that the world is split between the spiritual and the material. The

spiritual and the material. The Americans are the Antichrist. The

Americans are the Antichrist. The Americans support individual hedonism,

Americans support individual hedonism, whereas we Russians, we believe in

whereas we Russians, we believe in humanity. We believe in goodness. We

humanity. We believe in goodness. We believe in community. Right? So, if you

believe in community. Right? So, if you believe if you that is your argument, if

believe if you that is your argument, if that's your grand strategy, you have a

that's your grand strategy, you have a more obligation, a more imperative to

more obligation, a more imperative to help the Iranians in their time of need.

help the Iranians in their time of need. And in fact, Prime Prime Minister

And in fact, Prime Prime Minister Araghchi of of Iran has recently visited

Araghchi of of Iran has recently visited Putin in Moscow. Putin Putin personally

Putin in Moscow. Putin Putin personally received him

received him and said to Araghchi, "We, the Russian

and said to Araghchi, "We, the Russian people, admire your determination, your

people, admire your determination, your resolve um against the Americans." And I

resolve um against the Americans." And I think that is a

think that is a sign that Putin has entered the chat and

sign that Putin has entered the chat and that the Russians will start to help the

that the Russians will start to help the Iranians as this war progresses. So,

Iranians as this war progresses. So, let's go back to this map, okay?

let's go back to this map, okay? >> Okay. And the Americans have a

>> Okay. And the Americans have a three-pronged strategy

three-pronged strategy to

to strangle

strangle um Iran.

um Iran. The first is to use ground forces to

incite ethnic violence in the country. The second is to block all the shipping

The second is to block all the shipping moves and cut off Iranian financing. The

moves and cut off Iranian financing. The third is to strangle Iran and cause the

third is to strangle Iran and cause the people to rise up like against the

people to rise up like against the government, okay?

government, okay? And the Russians So, if things stay the

And the Russians So, if things stay the stay as they are now,

stay as they are now, America wins. Easily.

America wins. Easily. But, if Russia were to enter the war on

But, if Russia were to enter the war on behalf of the Iranians, the first thing

behalf of the Iranians, the first thing that Russia would do is provide

that Russia would do is provide Iran with reinforcement from the Caspian

Iran with reinforcement from the Caspian Sea. Right? Because the Americans want

Sea. Right? Because the Americans want to knock out Iran's capacity to provide

to knock out Iran's capacity to provide food, water, and electricity to its

food, water, and electricity to its people. But, uh through the Caspian Sea,

people. But, uh through the Caspian Sea, the Russians can support the uh

the Russians can support the uh Iranians. But, not only that, and this

Iranians. But, not only that, and this is much more important, if the Russians

is much more important, if the Russians were to come in, they could also bring

were to come in, they could also bring the Chinese into the war on behalf of

the Chinese into the war on behalf of the Iranians. And the Chinese could use

the Iranians. And the Chinese could use the Belt and Road Initiative, basically

the Belt and Road Initiative, basically the railway system, to reinforce Tehran

the railway system, to reinforce Tehran from

from uh the

uh the east. So now you can no longer strangle

east. So now you can no longer strangle Tehran because the Russians and the

Tehran because the Russians and the Chinese are reinforcing Tehran. Then

Chinese are reinforcing Tehran. Then what the Russians could do is provide

what the Russians could do is provide financing to the Iranians. Basically the

financing to the Iranians. Basically the Iranian the Chi- sorry, the Chinese and

Iranian the Chi- sorry, the Chinese and the Russians can say to Iranians, "Don't

the Russians can say to Iranians, "Don't worry about financing. We will give you

worry about financing. We will give you enough uh financing for you to continue

enough uh financing for you to continue this war for as long as you want, and

this war for as long as you want, and we'll use our resources as collateral

we'll use our resources as collateral for this financing."

for this financing." Right? And the third thing, and this is

Right? And the third thing, and this is actually the most important, is that

actually the most important, is that Russia could put Iran

Russia could put Iran under its nuclear umbrella.

under its nuclear umbrella. And this would negate the use of

And this would negate the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

tactical nuclear weapons. Israelis and Americans, if they really

Israelis and Americans, if they really felt under pressure,

felt under pressure, if they were really put in a corner,

if they were really put in a corner, they could always choose to use tactical

they could always choose to use tactical nuclear weapons. If the Russians were

nuclear weapons. If the Russians were involved, that negates

involved, that negates that option.

that option. Right? So if the Russians get involved

Right? So if the Russians get involved in this war, they bring in the Chinese,

is not illegal. So, let me explain the loophole.

So, let me explain the loophole. What Trump could do is this, okay? There

What Trump could do is this, okay? There There two possibilities. The first

There two possibilities. The first possibility is in 2028, he has his son,

possibility is in 2028, he has his son, Don Jr., run as a president

and he runs as the vice president. And then when Don Jr. wins, if he wins,

And then when Don Jr. wins, if he wins, then Don Jr. could abdicate

with any morality would do this. But that doesn't stop Trump from from

But that doesn't stop Trump from from doing this, okay? That's one

doing this, okay? That's one possibility. Another possibility is that

possibility. Another possibility is that by 2028, America

by 2028, America is at war with everyone. There's a

is at war with everyone. There's a national draft.

national draft. The president now has emergency war

The president now has emergency war powers. And so, he can actually suspend

and delay the election, which is what Zelenskyy did in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy did in Ukraine. So, these are two different

So, these are two different possibilities.

possibilities. But I think that given

But I think that given Trump's track record,

Trump's track record, given his personality,

given his personality, I think he very much

I think he very much um wants a third term.

um wants a third term. And I think that he will do everything

somewhere else. And of those two strategies that you named, where he puts

stay in office. Of those two strategies, which one do you think he's more likely

which one do you think he's more likely to deploy? I actually think that, given

do you not think that there would be such a huge backlash in the United

such a huge backlash in the United States that his son wouldn't win?

States that his son wouldn't win? Well, I think there's a possibility that

Well, I think there's a possibility that they figure out how to cheat in 2028.

they figure out how to cheat in 2028. Oh, as in actually cheat the election.

Oh, as in actually cheat the election. Right. So, At the poll booth.

Right. So, At the poll booth. >> Right. So, let's go into Trump's mind,

stolen from him in 2020. I find it really um really

I find it really um really implausible to think that Trump would

implausible to think that Trump would run and would run for a third time.

run and would run for a third time. So, again, this is a prediction.

So, again, this is a prediction. >> Yeah. And it is a test of the validity

>> Yeah. And it is a test of the validity of my theoretical framework.

of my theoretical framework. I was looking at some of the

I was looking at some of the the constitutions and the laws, and it

the constitutions and the laws, and it says that the 22nd Amendment explicitly

Legal scholars and the judicial community

almost universally reject this. The 12th Amendment requires that anyone serving

president. Since a two-term president is ineligible to be elected again, they're

ineligible to be elected again, they're legally barred from being vice

legally barred from being vice president. So, the point is there's

president. So, the point is there's nothing explicit in the constitution

nothing explicit in the constitution that bars someone

that bars someone from having a third term. Mhm. And

from having a third term. Mhm. And there's debate in the legal community

there's debate in the legal community about the spirit

about the spirit of the 22nd Amendment. It would go to

of the 22nd Amendment. It would go to the Supreme Court, right?

the Supreme Court, right? >> And the Supreme Court's controlled right

fourth later in the year. So, it's entirely up to the Supreme

So, it's entirely up to the Supreme Court whether or not he can run. And

Court whether or not he can run. And again, there's nothing explicit in the

again, there's nothing explicit in the constitution that forbids him from

constitution that forbids him from running

running as vice president. Okay.

as vice president. Okay. What's your next prediction?

What's your next prediction? The My second prediction is there'll be

The My second prediction is there'll be a grand bargain between the United

a grand bargain between the United States and China. What does that mean?

States and China. What does that mean? It means that people expect that the

It means that people expect that the United States and China will go to war

United States and China will go to war at some point over Taiwan.

at some point over Taiwan. It means A lot of people expect that

It means A lot of people expect that China wants to challenge American

China wants to challenge American hegemony and replace America as the

hegemony and replace America as the global superpower.

global superpower. But China does not want to do that.

But China does not want to do that. China's probably happy

China's probably happy with America being the world's hegemon,

with America being the world's hegemon, because you have to invest so much of

because you have to invest so much of your resources into fighting these wars

your resources into fighting these wars that bankrupt your nation. China China

that bankrupt your nation. China China China doesn't want to fight these wars.

China doesn't want to fight these wars. So, what China's going to do is try to

So, what China's going to do is try to triangulate between Russia

triangulate between Russia and the United States. This is what

and the United States. This is what happened during the Cold War, when China

happened during the Cold War, when China was not actually on the side of the

was not actually on the side of the Soviet Union. China was part of the

Soviet Union. China was part of the non-aligned community.

non-aligned community. And that's what China's going to strive

And that's what China's going to strive for in World War III, where China may

for in World War III, where China may help out Iran, may provide financing for

help out Iran, may provide financing for Russia, but it's also going to strike

Russia, but it's also going to strike deals with the United States as well.

deals with the United States as well. Mhm. Okay.

Mhm. Okay. So, I think that Trump and President Xi

So, I think that Trump and President Xi are supposed to meet at least three

are supposed to meet at least three times, possibly four times

times, possibly four times this year. Only this year. The first

this year. Only this year. The first will be

will be in mid-May in Beijing.

in mid-May in Beijing. And I think that they will start a

And I think that they will start a process

process in which China and America come to an

in which China and America come to an arrangement that benefits both

arrangement that benefits both economically.

economically. What does America want? America wants

What does America want? America wants China to continue to buy US Treasuries

China to continue to buy US Treasuries in order to finance the American debt.

in order to finance the American debt. What does China want? China wants energy

What does China want? China wants energy resources from the Western Hemisphere

resources from the Western Hemisphere and it wants to access the American

and it wants to access the American market. Mhm. So, there's no reason why

market. Mhm. So, there's no reason why China and America cannot come to an

China and America cannot come to an arrangement that benefits both. And

arrangement that benefits both. And Trump is very much a transactional

Trump is very much a transactional character. And what will that mean for

character. And what will that mean for the world?

the world? It means that China is not really part

It means that China is not really part of World War in a meaningful way.

of World War in a meaningful way. Okay. So, they're going to do a deal.

Okay. So, they're going to do a deal. They'll continue to work together as

They'll continue to work together as friends.

friends. But China or will be friends of both

But China or will be friends of both Russia and the United States as Russia

Russia and the United States as Russia and the United States fight each other.

and the United States fight each other. Okay.

Okay. What's your next prediction?

Iran is another forever war and the United States will institute a national

United States will institute a national draft.

draft. Iran is another forever war and the

Iran is another forever war and the United States will institute a national

United States will institute a national draft. So, you think Iran is going to

draft. So, you think Iran is going to Iran as a war is going to tumble on for

Iran as a war is going to tumble on for decades and that the US are going to

decades and that the US are going to draft people which means you're

draft people which means you're obliged to go and fight. Exactly. Okay.

obliged to go and fight. Exactly. Okay. So,

So, the logic is this.

the logic is this. America doesn't really care

America doesn't really care if Iran

if Iran is defeated or not. That's not really

is defeated or not. That's not really part of the American grand strategy.

part of the American grand strategy. Iran right now is a perfect pretext for

Iran right now is a perfect pretext for America to expand outwards and establish

America to expand outwards and establish maritime choke points around the world.

maritime choke points around the world. And to force the world to buy American

And to force the world to buy American energy.

energy. So, this war in Iran benefits America

So, this war in Iran benefits America tremendously. So, why not have it go on

tremendously. So, why not have it go on for a long, long time?

for a long, long time? In order to make sure this war goes on

In order to make sure this war goes on for a long time, you need ground troops.

for a long time, you need ground troops. And you need a lot of ground troops.

And you need a lot of ground troops. And that's why you need a national

And that's why you need a national draft.

draft. So, what would a national draft look

So, what would a national draft look like in the United States? Everyone

like in the United States? Everyone between the age of 18 and 25 has to sign

between the age of 18 and 25 has to sign up to the army. Right. So, most people

up to the army. Right. So, most people don't appreciate this, but America has

don't appreciate this, but America has always had a draft. But, for the longest

always had a draft. But, for the longest time, it didn't really care

time, it didn't really care whether or not you actually signed for

whether or not you actually signed for the draft. And starting in December,

the draft. And starting in December, participation in the draft will be

participation in the draft will be automatic. Meaning that if you're

automatic. Meaning that if you're between 18 and 24

between 18 and 24 in America and you're male, you'll be

in America and you're male, you'll be automatically put into the draft system.

automatically put into the draft system. From when? I mean, from December. This

From when? I mean, from December. This year? Yes, that that is correct. Yes.

year? Yes, that that is correct. Yes. So, between the age of 18 and 25, you

So, between the age of 18 and 25, you think? And what does that What does that

think? And what does that What does that really mean? Well, I've never not really

really mean? Well, I've never not really experienced that in my lifetime. So, it

experienced that in my lifetime. So, it means that if you're between the age of

means that if you're between the age of 18 and 24, either gender? No, male.

18 and 24, either gender? No, male. Male, then you have to sign up for the

Male, then you have to sign up for the army.

army. No, you're already put into a draft.

No, you're already put into a draft. >> Oh, you're already Okay, but you might

>> Oh, you're already Okay, but you might be called upon. That's right. It's a

be called upon. That's right. It's a lottery system. Okay. Right.

lottery system. Okay. Right. And uh this created a lot of backlash

And uh this created a lot of backlash during the Vietnam era.

during the Vietnam era. And so, they sort of toned it down.

And so, they sort of toned it down. But, starting in December, they just

But, starting in December, they just passed a law that says that starting in

passed a law that says that starting in December, um you will be automatically

December, um you will be automatically registered

registered for for the They've passed them all.

for for the They've passed them all. Yes, they have.

Yes, they have. Well, in theory, Congress first needs to

Well, in theory, Congress first needs to declare war. Okay, fine.

declare war. Okay, fine. >> Right? That's the first step. And

>> Right? That's the first step. And Congress has not actually declared war

Congress has not actually declared war yet. Okay. So, you think there'll be a

yet. Okay. So, you think there'll be a draft and you think this will This war

draft and you think this will This war in Iran is going to trickle on for

in Iran is going to trickle on for a long time. How long? 10, 20 years?

a long time. How long? 10, 20 years? Like Afghanistan or I don't see it

Like Afghanistan or I don't see it stopping. Okay. Yeah.

stopping. Okay. Yeah. What's next in your prediction box?

What's next in your prediction box? Okay.

Okay, this is pretty bad. The world will move towards an AI surveillance state.

move towards an AI surveillance state. I feel like that's already happening.

I feel like that's already happening. I think it's pretty obvious. Yeah. What

I think it's pretty obvious. Yeah. What does that mean in reality for the

does that mean in reality for the average person? Because you know, we're

average person? Because you know, we're seeing some of these big companies like

seeing some of these big companies like OpenAI and Anthropic all sort of signing

OpenAI and Anthropic all sort of signing up to government um military

up to government um military surveillance projects.

surveillance projects. What does that mean for the average

What does that mean for the average person? Right. So, for the average

person? Right. So, for the average person, it means two things. It means

person, it means two things. It means digital ID and digital currency.

digital ID and digital currency. Okay. So, what that what that will allow

Okay. So, what that what that will allow is for the government to basically

is for the government to basically monitor everything you do online and

monitor everything you do online and control all financial transactions. It

control all financial transactions. It it can basically program

it can basically program your bank account. So, like, you can't

your bank account. So, like, you can't buy cigarettes

buy cigarettes or you can't buy drugs. Um and this will

or you can't buy drugs. Um and this will allow the government to basically

allow the government to basically um categorize everyone and put everyone

um categorize everyone and put everyone into a certain database

into a certain database to monitor that person. And once you

to monitor that person. And once you have once you're able to categorize

have once you're able to categorize everyone, you're allowed then you're you

everyone, you're allowed then you're you are able to use AI to predict their

are able to use AI to predict their behavior. Isn't this what goes on in

behavior. Isn't this what goes on in some parts of the This is what goes on

some parts of the This is what goes on in China.

in China. And that's how I know about this.

And that's how I know about this. How does it work in China?

How does it work in China? Well, in China, we all have digital ID.

Well, in China, we all have digital ID. If you want to access anything in China,

If you want to access anything in China, you need your digital ID. So, you want

you need your digital ID. So, you want to open a bank account, you have to you

to open a bank account, you have to you have to use um a digital ID. If you want

have to use um a digital ID. If you want to use any uh e-payments, you have to

to use any uh e-payments, you have to use digital ID. If you want to use a

use digital ID. If you want to use a phone,

phone, you have to use digital ID, okay? So,

you have to use digital ID, okay? So, everyone's part of this national

everyone's part of this national database.

database. And this this allows government to do is

And this this allows government to do is basically monitor everything you do.

basically monitor everything you do. Because basically, depending on how you

Because basically, depending on how you buy things, I can then extrapolate to

buy things, I can then extrapolate to figure out your behavior.

figure out your behavior. And then I can figure out your thinking.

And then I can figure out your thinking. Right? And then I can create incentives

Right? And then I can create incentives in order to guide

in order to guide and control your behavior. So, in China,

and control your behavior. So, in China, can they see everything that you do?

can they see everything that you do? Yes, they can.

Yes, they can. Messages you send? Everything. Payments

Messages you send? Everything. Payments you make?

you make? >> Everything.

>> Everything. Everything.

Everything. Everything you do online is being

Everything you do online is being recorded

recorded and is being

and is being inputted into the database

inputted into the database to

to figure out who you are,

figure out who you are, what you want,

what you want, and how to control you.

and how to control you. And they think this is progress, by the

And they think this is progress, by the way.

way. This is progress because I'm making you

This is progress because I'm making you a better person, right?

a better person, right? I'm helping you achieve your dream. I'm

I'm helping you achieve your dream. I'm I'm helping you lose weight. I'm helping

I'm helping you lose weight. I'm helping you avoid drugs. I'm helping you work

you avoid drugs. I'm helping you work harder.

harder. Wouldn't you be in trouble if you talk

Wouldn't you be in trouble if you talk against this system?

against this system? Well,

Well, me personally, okay. So, I operate in a

me personally, okay. So, I operate in a gray area where I do not interact with

gray area where I do not interact with the Chinese internet.

the Chinese internet. So, everything I do is in English. It's

So, everything I do is in English. It's meant for consumption in the Western

And um I I don't talk to Chinese reporters. I don't talk to Chinese

reporters. I don't talk to Chinese social media. I've no Chinese media

social media. I've no Chinese media presence.

presence. And I am not at all influential in

And I am not at all influential in China. And I prefer it that way because

China. And I prefer it that way because if I be ever became famous in China,

if I be ever became famous in China, then they would obviously want to

then they would obviously want to control

control me in order to better influence other

me in order to better influence other people.

people. Huh.

Huh. What's your next prediction?

Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. So, you think Israel are going

project. So, you think Israel are going to conquer the Middle East?

Israel has essentially already conquered the Middle East. The only force in their

the Middle East. The only force in their way right now is America.

way right now is America. So, once America leaves the Middle East,

So, once America leaves the Middle East, which I expect to happen, then Israel

which I expect to happen, then Israel will absorb CENTCOM, which is the um

will absorb CENTCOM, which is the um Central Command, the American military

Central Command, the American military bases in the Middle East, and they will

bases in the Middle East, and they will achieve the greater Israel project.

achieve the greater Israel project. There's no other power in in Middle East

There's no other power in in Middle East that can withstand the might and power

that can withstand the might and power of Israel.

of Israel. And do you have a timeline for this?

And do you have a timeline for this? The moment America quits this war

The moment America quits this war against Iran, the moment that America

against Iran, the moment that America leaves

leaves the Middle East,

the Middle East, Israel will achieve the greater Israel

Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. And what's really interesting

project. And what's really interesting right now is that Israel's trying to

right now is that Israel's trying to drag this war out for as long as

drag this war out for as long as possible because they see this war as a

possible because they see this war as a way to destroy all its major enemies in

way to destroy all its major enemies in the um Middle East. You know,

the um Middle East. You know, they It's really It's already said this.

they It's really It's already said this. After Iran, Turkey is next.

After Iran, Turkey is next. >> Turkey, hm.

>> Turkey, hm. Turkey is next. This war is already

Turkey is next. This war is already destroying Saudi Arabia and the GCC,

destroying Saudi Arabia and the GCC, right? So, the last opponent is Turkey.

right? So, the last opponent is Turkey. Once Turkey is brought into this war,

Once Turkey is brought into this war, then

then Israel will achieve the greater Israel

Israel will achieve the greater Israel project.

project. And the greater Israel project covers

And the greater Israel project covers all of this region here from Turkey,

all of this region here from Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, Oman. Is so the greater

Egypt, Yemen, Oman. Is so the greater Israel project is like this, okay? So,

Israel project is like this, okay? So, it goes from the Nile in Egypt to the

it goes from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq. And it covers part of

Euphrates in Iraq. And it covers part of Turkey, all Syria, all Lebanon, all

Turkey, all Syria, all Lebanon, all Jordan, and parts of Saudi Arabia, which

Jordan, and parts of Saudi Arabia, which also includes Mecca and Medina.

also includes Mecca and Medina. What is your next prediction?

What is your next prediction? NATO and Russia will fight for Odessa.

NATO and Russia will fight for Odessa. Odessa? What's Odessa?

Odessa? What's Odessa? So, if you look at the uh Ukraine front

So, if you look at the uh Ukraine front lines, right now Russia is preoccupied

lines, right now Russia is preoccupied in trying to control

in trying to control uh the Donbas, which is basically

uh the Donbas, which is basically eastern Ukraine.

eastern Ukraine. Why Russia is doing this is that eastern

Why Russia is doing this is that eastern Ukraine has historically been part of

Ukraine has historically been part of Russia, therefore most people there

Russia, therefore most people there speak Russian and are are ethnically

speak Russian and are are ethnically Russian.

Russian. The Donbas is also the agricultural and

The Donbas is also the agricultural and industrial heartland

industrial heartland of Ukraine. So, if Russia were to

of Ukraine. So, if Russia were to control east eastern in Ukraine, it

control east eastern in Ukraine, it doesn't really need Western Ukraine.

doesn't really need Western Ukraine. And then Western Ukraine would basically

And then Western Ukraine would basically become a rump state. It'd be useless,

become a rump state. It'd be useless, right? So, the last piece to this puzzle

right? So, the last piece to this puzzle would be Odessa, which sits on the Black

would be Odessa, which sits on the Black Sea. The reason why you want Odessa

Sea. The reason why you want Odessa is that it is the major port.

is that it is the major port. And once you control Odessa, you

And once you control Odessa, you basically block off Ukraine from the

basically block off Ukraine from the Black Sea. You have complete control

Black Sea. You have complete control over the Black Sea. The Black Sea is

over the Black Sea. The Black Sea is that the Black Sea? This is the Black

that the Black Sea? This is the Black Sea and this is Odessa right here. Yes.

Sea and this is Odessa right here. Yes. Okay, so you're saying that you Russia

Okay, so you're saying that you Russia will take take Odessa. That's correct.

will take take Odessa. That's correct. Okay, so they'll control the Black Sea.

Okay, so they'll control the Black Sea. That's right. But NATO recognizes that

That's right. But NATO recognizes that if Odessa falls to the Russians, the war

if Odessa falls to the Russians, the war is over.

is over. And Russia will have achieved all its

And Russia will have achieved all its major strategic objectives. Why is the

major strategic objectives. Why is the war over?

war over? Because Russia doesn't want to continue

Because Russia doesn't want to continue on after Odessa. It doesn't need that

on after Odessa. It doesn't need that of of Ukraine.

of of Ukraine. >> Like what does it get from taking

>> Like what does it get from taking Odessa?

Odessa? Once they take Odessa, control of

Once they take Odessa, control of 1/3

1/3 of the world's carbohydrates.

of the world's carbohydrates. If Russia willed it,

If Russia willed it, Africa

Africa would starve to death.

would starve to death. The Middle East would starve. Why?

The Middle East would starve. Why? Because Russia and Ukraine export a lot

Because Russia and Ukraine export a lot of grain to these places. These places

of grain to these places. These places are not food independent. They rely on

are not food independent. They rely on fertilizer. They rely on food imports.

fertilizer. They rely on food imports. Okay. And Russia's using the the Black

Okay. And Russia's using the the Black Sea here to export. Exactly. Okay.

Sea here to export. Exactly. Okay. What is your next prediction? This is

What is your next prediction? This is the last one.

Please be good. Okay. I was hoping for an optimistic

Okay. I was hoping for an optimistic one. But East Asia breaks out into

one. But East Asia breaks out into conflict.

conflict. Okay, what do you mean by that? Okay.

Okay, what do you mean by that? Okay. So, we've talked a lot about the Middle

So, we've talked a lot about the Middle East and we've talked briefly about

East and we've talked briefly about Europe, okay? So, now let's go into

Europe, okay? So, now let's go into East Asia.

East Asia. And I think there are three major

And I think there are three major sources of friction

sources of friction and conflict in East Asia and these

and conflict in East Asia and these could be potentially major flash points.

could be potentially major flash points. The first flash point is of course over

The first flash point is of course over Taiwan.

Taiwan. Cuz China believes that Taiwan

Cuz China believes that Taiwan is part

is part of its territory and so it wants to take

of its territory and so it wants to take over

over uh Taiwan. The problem with this is The

uh Taiwan. The problem with this is The problem with this is that

problem with this is that the recently Prime Minister Sanae

the recently Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of Japan has said

Takaichi of Japan has said that Taiwan is core to Japanese

that Taiwan is core to Japanese strategic interests. What she means

strategic interests. What she means by this is that

by this is that Japan

Japan has no resources. It's a manufacturing

has no resources. It's a manufacturing power

power that depends on resources from overseas.

that depends on resources from overseas. If China were to take over Taiwan, it

If China were to take over Taiwan, it can now block Japan from accessing the

can now block Japan from accessing the Strait of Malacca.

Strait of Malacca. And that's a policy that Japan cannot

And that's a policy that Japan cannot permit. So Japan would fight

permit. So Japan would fight to ensure that Taiwan and China were

to ensure that Taiwan and China were never to unify.

never to unify. Would they actually? Because China is so

Would they actually? Because China is so strong, right? Can they just knock Japan

strong, right? Can they just knock Japan straight out? Japan has no choice but to

straight out? Japan has no choice but to fight because again if China and Taiwan

fight because again if China and Taiwan were to unify peacefully Japan would be

were to unify peacefully Japan would be cut off from the entirety of Southeast

cut off from the entirety of Southeast Asia. And Japan relies on Southeast Asia

Asia. And Japan relies on Southeast Asia historically for resources.

historically for resources. Why would it be cut off from Southeast

Why would it be cut off from Southeast Asia? Can't it just

Asia? Can't it just go go down here to through the

go go down here to through the Philippines?

Philippines? There's a lot of resources around the

There's a lot of resources around the South China Sea. Okay. Right. Oil,

South China Sea. Okay. Right. Oil, minerals, all of that. Yeah.

minerals, all of that. Yeah. >> Um

>> Um so

so if China and Taiwan were to uh unify

if China and Taiwan were to uh unify basically uh Japan would feel a bit

basically uh Japan would feel a bit threatened.

threatened. And your prediction is that there will

And your prediction is that there will be some kind of conflict in this region.

be some kind of conflict in this region. Yeah, so so that's the first flashpoint,

Yeah, so so that's the first flashpoint, okay? Taiwan. There's another

okay? Taiwan. There's another flashpoint, which is Strait of Malacca,

flashpoint, which is Strait of Malacca, right? Because again, America wants to

right? Because again, America wants to control the Strait of Malacca, but China

control the Strait of Malacca, but China recognizes that the Strait of Malacca is

recognizes that the Strait of Malacca is key to its economic survival. And so

key to its economic survival. And so there's a lot conflict over the Strait

there's a lot conflict over the Strait of Malacca, okay? That's flashpoint

of Malacca, okay? That's flashpoint number two.

number two. The third flashpoint, which I think

The third flashpoint, which I think would be the most surprising

would be the most surprising but actually will be the most

but actually will be the most uh pressing

uh pressing is North Korea.

is North Korea. Okay? So, let's just use game theory.

Okay? So, let's just use game theory. We are

We are the leader, supreme leader of North

the leader, supreme leader of North Korea.

Korea. It is a dictatorship. Everyone worships

It is a dictatorship. Everyone worships me. It is is a cult personality.

me. It is is a cult personality. But we're poor.

But we're poor. And the rest of the world is in

And the rest of the world is in conflict, right? Europe is fighting with

conflict, right? Europe is fighting with Russia, the Middle East is in flames,

Russia, the Middle East is in flames, America's distracted trying to control

America's distracted trying to control the world to the best of its ability,

the world to the best of its ability, Japan and China are fighting over the

Japan and China are fighting over the South China Sea.

South China Sea. If you are North Korea

If you are North Korea now

now is the best opportunity to create as

is the best opportunity to create as much havoc in the world as possible.

much havoc in the world as possible. There's absolutely nothing they and I

There's absolutely nothing they and I can do to stop you.

can do to stop you. You are the brawler in high school that

You are the brawler in high school that no one pays attention to because all the

no one pays attention to because all the big boys are fighting each other. You

big boys are fighting each other. You can come in and dominate the school now.

can come in and dominate the school now. Who would they be dominating? They could

Who would they be dominating? They could dominate South Korea.

dominate South Korea. Because if you just look at uh a

Because if you just look at uh a population map of South Korea

population map of South Korea most of South Korean population is

most of South Korean population is located in Seoul, and Seoul is about

located in Seoul, and Seoul is about about 20 minutes artillery

about 20 minutes artillery from North Korea. So, in 20 minutes

from North Korea. So, in 20 minutes uh North Korea could rain artillery onto

uh North Korea could rain artillery onto Seoul and like basically they flatten

Seoul and like basically they flatten their whole city.

their whole city. Why wouldn't you extort the South

Why wouldn't you extort the South Koreans? Because the South Koreans are

Koreans? Because the South Koreans are going to shoot back.

going to shoot back. With what? Do they not have military?

With what? Do they not have military? They're being protected by the Americans

They're being protected by the Americans right now, and Americans are busy

right now, and Americans are busy transporting artillery and weapon

transporting artillery and weapon systems, including the THAAD system,

systems, including the THAAD system, over to the Middle East.

over to the Middle East. It's called THAAD. T H A A D

It's called THAAD. T H A A D It used to be in South Korea to protect

It used to be in South Korea to protect against North Korea, and now it's over

against North Korea, and now it's over in the Middle East.

in the Middle East. So, Americans are cannibalizing both

So, Americans are cannibalizing both South Korea and Japan in order to

South Korea and Japan in order to maintain this war in the Middle East.

maintain this war in the Middle East. Now's the time.

Now's the time. Why not? It's free money. It's like

Why not? It's free money. It's like taking candy from a baby.

taking candy from a baby. But South Korea have their own military,

But South Korea have their own military, though.

though. How do you defend against artillery

How do you defend against artillery strikes?

strikes? Uh I don't know. You don't.

Uh I don't know. You don't. But but they they they they would fire

But but they they they they would fire back, right? You'd get they'd get

back, right? You'd get they'd get themselves into a pretty ugly war. South

themselves into a pretty ugly war. South Korea have a have a big military. Well,

Korea have a have a big military. Well, my people are poor. They're not afraid

my people are poor. They're not afraid to die. In fact, I've sent thousands of

to die. In fact, I've sent thousands of them to go to Ukraine to fight for the

them to go to Ukraine to fight for the Russians, and

Russians, and they fight to the death.

they fight to the death. Because they're poor, and if they don't

Because they're poor, and if they don't fight to the death, if they're allowed

fight to the death, if they're allowed to be taken prisoner, I'll kill their

to be taken prisoner, I'll kill their families back at home.

families back at home. South Koreans are rich.

South Koreans are rich. They are used to democracy. They use

They are used to democracy. They use individual rights.

individual rights. So, if I threaten to blow your city up,

So, if I threaten to blow your city up, you're telling me you won't bribe me not

you're telling me you won't bribe me not to do so?

to do so? Isn't Isn't the fastest, quickest way is

Isn't Isn't the fastest, quickest way is to bribe me not to cause trouble for

bribe them? Extortion. This is extortion. I don't need to destroy South

extortion. I don't need to destroy South Korea. All I need to do is is basically

Korea. All I need to do is is basically threaten the South Koreans,

threaten the South Koreans, and they'll just like

and they'll just like bribe me not to do anything.

bribe me not to do anything. So, what does all of this stuff mean for

So, what does all of this stuff mean for the average person?

the average person? You know, people listening right now,

You know, people listening right now, they're just normal people. A lot of

they're just normal people. A lot of them. Not all of them, but a lot of them

In this new world, we will need leaders.

we will need leaders. We will need average people

We will need average people who are able to bring hope

That's what the world needs in the future.

in the future. It will need

It will need um entrepreneurial leaders.

um entrepreneurial leaders. It will need visionaries. It will need

It will need visionaries. It will need prophets. Those who will most thrive are

prophets. Those who will most thrive are those who make an effort

those who make an effort to reach out,

to reach out, knock on the door

knock on the door of your neighbors and say, "Listen,

of your neighbors and say, "Listen, there's a blackout.

there's a blackout. And

And there's probably no water.

there's probably no water. But,

But, don't fear because if we come together

don't fear because if we come together as a community,

as a community, if we go and knock on everyone's doors,

if we go and knock on everyone's doors, then everyone in this apartment

then everyone in this apartment building, and there will be 100 of us,

building, and there will be 100 of us, we just sit down

we just sit down and have a meeting and just discuss

and have a meeting and just discuss what's happening, one of us

what's happening, one of us will come up with a solution.

will come up with a solution. And one of us will help everyone else

And one of us will help everyone else figure out how

figure out how to find water or how to

to find water or how to build a better society. And we know this

build a better society. And we know this because historically this has always

because historically this has always been true. When empires collapse,

been true. When empires collapse, infrastructure collapses. Which empire

infrastructure collapses. Which empire do you think is collapsing? The United

do you think is collapsing? The United States empire?

States empire? Uh the United States empire is

Uh the United States empire is collapsing, yes.

And who is taking its place? No one can take the place of American empire. So,

take the place of American empire. So, we live in a unipolar moment. And the

we live in a unipolar moment. And the closest historical analogy to today is

closest historical analogy to today is something called the Bronze Age

something called the Bronze Age collapse. The Bronze Bronze Age.

collapse. The Bronze Bronze Age. >> The Bronze Age collapse. This happened

>> The Bronze Age collapse. This happened um about over 3,000 years ago.

um about over 3,000 years ago. And what happened during the Bronze Age

And what happened during the Bronze Age collapse is that

collapse is that you have these established kingdoms

you have these established kingdoms throughout the Middle East and Europe.

throughout the Middle East and Europe. You have Mycenaean uh Greece. You had

You have Mycenaean uh Greece. You had the Hittite uh Empire in Anatolia, which

the Hittite uh Empire in Anatolia, which is present-day Turkey. You had uh the

is present-day Turkey. You had uh the Mesopotamian

Mesopotamian Empire and the Egyptians.

Empire and the Egyptians. Um and one by one

Um and one by one they collapsed. The reason why was that

they collapsed. The reason why was that a perfect storm of calamities came at

a perfect storm of calamities came at the same time. There were earthquakes.

the same time. There were earthquakes. There were famines. There was a climate

There were famines. There was a climate crisis. There were wars. There were

crisis. There were wars. There were civil wars. There were revolutions. And

civil wars. There were revolutions. And so you have this massive surge of

so you have this massive surge of refugees, called the Sea Peoples,

refugees, called the Sea Peoples, flowing from north and

flowing from north and uh West Europe and sweeping the entire

uh West Europe and sweeping the entire sweeping food to the entire entire

sweeping food to the entire entire Middle East. And the reason why is they

Middle East. And the reason why is they were hungry. They didn't have any food

were hungry. They didn't have any food to eat. So they organized into

to eat. So they organized into um you know, these large pirate armies

um you know, these large pirate armies and they overwhelmed

and they overwhelmed uh entire civilizations.

uh entire civilizations. And so we're see we will see a version

And so we're see we will see a version of this dynamic play out in the world

of this dynamic play out in the world where in the future

where in the future our concern won't be

our concern won't be wars. Our concern will be these millions

wars. Our concern will be these millions of refugees who want to flood into our

of refugees who want to flood into our societies because they're hungry.

And they're going to come from Africa. They're going to come from the Middle

They're going to come from the Middle East. They'll probably come from South

East. They'll probably come from South America as well.

America as well. So I saw your show with Steve Keen, by

So I saw your show with Steve Keen, by the way.

the way. Steve Keen? Yeah. It was a great show,

Steve Keen? Yeah. It was a great show, right? He talked about this where look

right? He talked about this where look the world depends on fertilizer. Mhm.

the world depends on fertilizer. Mhm. And there's 8 billion people in the

And there's 8 billion people in the world. Without fertilizers, the world

world. Without fertilizers, the world can only sustain

can only sustain at most two billion people.

at most two billion people. Well, what what are the six billion

Well, what what are the six billion people going to do? Just starve to

people going to do? Just starve to death? No, they're they're going to

death? No, they're they're going to migrate.

migrate. And they're going to want food. And it's

And they're going to want food. And it's going to create a huge

going to create a huge global crisis throughout the world.

global crisis throughout the world. I mean, one might argue that with the

I mean, one might argue that with the rise of things like AI and robotics, the

rise of things like AI and robotics, the cost of production is going to drop and

cost of production is going to drop and there's going to be more, you know, Elon

there's going to be more, you know, Elon talks about the age of abundance

talks about the age of abundance and all these kinds of things. But you

and all these kinds of things. But you have to grow food out of the ground.

have to grow food out of the ground. And you are using fertilizer to maximize

And you are using fertilizer to maximize the land's capacity to grow food. So you

the land's capacity to grow food. So you don't have fertilizer, you can have as

don't have fertilizer, you can have as many robots as you want. They don't have

many robots as you want. They don't have to eat food, we have to eat food.

to eat food, we have to eat food. So what is your um you talked about

So what is your um you talked about hopefulness?

hopefulness? Right. Are you hopeful?

Right. Are you hopeful? I'm very hopeful. What are you hopeful

I'm very hopeful. What are you hopeful for?

I believe that humans are first and foremost creative and resilient.

foremost creative and resilient. And our abilities have become dormant

And our abilities have become dormant because we've become too complacent.

because we've become too complacent. Western lifestyle have made us um

Western lifestyle have made us um extremely lazy and fat.

extremely lazy and fat. And but the moment we're presented with

And but the moment we're presented with crisis,

the moment that we find our families in danger,

danger, we're able to come together as a people

we're able to come together as a people and come up with all this tremendous

Professor, what's the most important thing we haven't talked about that we

thing we haven't talked about that we should have talked about?

should have talked about? So, let's talk about the nature of

So, let's talk about the nature of reality.

reality. To explain the nature of reality,

To explain the nature of reality, um I'm going to explain Plato's allegory

um I'm going to explain Plato's allegory of the cave,

of the cave, which he talked about in his book, The

which he talked about in his book, The Republic.

Republic. Right, exactly. This book. Yes, The

Right, exactly. This book. Yes, The Republic, okay? One of the masterpieces

Republic, okay? One of the masterpieces of Greek civilization as well as Western

of Greek civilization as well as Western civilization. All right. So, this is how

civilization. All right. So, this is how Plato

Plato explains the nature of reality.

explains the nature of reality. And so, he uses a metaphor called the

And so, he uses a metaphor called the cave. So, I want you to imagine a dark

cave. So, I want you to imagine a dark cavern

cavern that is huge. Mhm. And in this cavern,

that is huge. Mhm. And in this cavern, there are

there are hundreds of people

hundreds of people lined up together.

lined up together. And

And they're all sitting in a row,

they're all sitting in a row, and this goes on for, you know, miles

and this goes on for, you know, miles and miles, just thousands of people.

and miles, just thousands of people. And they are chained

And they are chained to the ground.

to the ground. And they're next or shackled, so they

And they're next or shackled, so they can't actually move.

can't actually move. And all they can do is stare in front of

And all they can do is stare in front of them at a giant wall that's empty.

them at a giant wall that's empty. Okay?

Okay? Now,

Now, behind these people, and again, they

behind these people, and again, they can't they can't see behind them, right?

can't they can't see behind them, right? Is a great fire.

Is a great fire. Along the alongside this fire are

Along the alongside this fire are people, okay? We don't know who they

people, okay? We don't know who they are. They they'll never explain who

are. They they'll never explain who these people are. They take puppets,

these people are. They take puppets, and they project these puppets off the

and they project these puppets off the fire onto

fire onto the wall.

when people see the shadows,

the shadows, they think that this is reality.

they think that this is reality. And as such, they begin to create

And as such, they begin to create narratives

narratives to explain this reality. They create

to explain this reality. They create language. They give shadows names.

language. They give shadows names. They explain where these shadows come

They explain where these shadows come from. They create religion.

from. They create religion. Then these people decide to specialize.

Then these people decide to specialize. So some people who are priests who

So some people who are priests who explain this new religion. There are

explain this new religion. There are some people who are poets that talk

some people who are poets that talk about the beauty of the shadows.

about the beauty of the shadows. And then you have teachers who teach

And then you have teachers who teach about the shadows to children.

about the shadows to children. And then over time, what happens is that

And then over time, what happens is that these people

these people fall in love

fall in love with this reality.

with this reality. So that they are addicted to it.

So that they are addicted to it. So if anyone comes along and says, "Hey

So if anyone comes along and says, "Hey guys, why don't you look behind you and

guys, why don't you look behind you and see it's all just a farce?"

see it's all just a farce?" These people will be so angry that they

These people will be so angry that they kill this person.

kill this person. All right? So I'm not sure if you've

All right? So I'm not sure if you've ever watched a Korean drama. Have you

ever watched a Korean drama. Have you Have you watched a Korean TV drama? Not

Have you watched a Korean TV drama? Not really, no.

really, no. >> All right. So unfortunately, I have. And

>> All right. So unfortunately, I have. And these things go on for like thousands of

these things go on for like thousands of hours. Mhm.

hours. Mhm. And the first first 10 hours, you're

And the first first 10 hours, you're disgusted

disgusted by the plot.

by the plot. Uh because it makes no sense. But by

Uh because it makes no sense. But by sometime by by the 20th hour, you can't

sometime by by the 20th hour, you can't stop watching it.

stop watching it. >> Mhm. All right? The same situation here

>> Mhm. All right? The same situation here where it's a it's a silly television

where it's a it's a silly television drama. It's all fake. But once people

drama. It's all fake. But once people watch too much of it,

watch too much of it, they want it to be true.

they want it to be true. Okay? And that's the nature of reality

Okay? And that's the nature of reality that we live in. All right? So, certain

that we live in. All right? So, certain things to remember is

things to remember is that what creates this reality

that what creates this reality are not

are not the people in charge. What creates this

the people in charge. What creates this reality is our imagination.

reality is our imagination. Okay.

Okay. So, the first thing to appreciate is

So, the first thing to appreciate is that

that everything is a hallucination.

everything is a hallucination. And this is something that

And this is something that neuroscientists have confirmed. So, what

neuroscientists have confirmed. So, what we're going to do is we're going to take

we're going to do is we're going to take Plato's allegory of the cave, the

Plato's allegory of the cave, the framework,

framework, and then apply it to our reality to

and then apply it to our reality to understand how it's created. Okay? So,

in the first layer, you need a power, a force, to put people in chains, right?

force, to put people in chains, right? And this is what we call the

And this is what we call the military-industrial complex of America

military-industrial complex of America as well as the empire.

as well as the empire. So, going back to this example, it's the

So, going back to this example, it's the layer that puts the people into chains.

layer that puts the people into chains. But now, the second step is you need

But now, the second step is you need people to create the reality, to direct

people to create the reality, to direct people's attention, to create the game.

people's attention, to create the game. And this

And this these people are the financial elite,

these people are the financial elite, the Bank of International Settlements

the Bank of International Settlements based in Basel.

based in Basel. So, what do they do?

So, what do they do? These people are the ones who set the

These people are the ones who set the the exchange currency rates. And they

the exchange currency rates. And they also allow for seamless

also allow for seamless financial transactions, the Swift

financial transactions, the Swift system, basically.

system, basically. Then, Wall Street

Then, Wall Street and the City of London were the

and the City of London were the financiers.

And then you have the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve system. Because the

The Federal Reserve system. Because the Federal Reserve are the people who print

Federal Reserve are the people who print money.

money. Okay.

Okay. Now,

Now, once you create the rules of the game,

once you create the rules of the game, you need to create the game itself,

you need to create the game itself, which is the global economy.

which is the global economy. Right?

Right? Global economy.

Global economy. And obviously, this is a pretty vast

And obviously, this is a pretty vast system that encompasses everything,

system that encompasses everything, okay?

Now, you have to explain to people how the global economy works.

the global economy works. You cannot tell people, "Oh, really,

You cannot tell people, "Oh, really, there are these secret people working on

there are these secret people working on the scenes that are projecting shadows

the scenes that are projecting shadows onto a wall."

onto a wall." So, what you do is you create

So, what you do is you create multilateral organizations that pretend

multilateral organizations that pretend to

to control the global economy, and they are

control the global economy, and they are the World Bank, United Nations,

the World Bank, United Nations, WTO.

WTO. You make people believe that this is all

You make people believe that this is all being controlled impartially for our

being controlled impartially for our benefit.

Now, you have to convince people that the system

the system is legitimate.

is legitimate. That what you're actually seeing the

That what you're actually seeing the shadows on the wall, they're real. And

shadows on the wall, they're real. And that's why you need

that's why you need the media.

the media. That's why you need

That's why you need culture such as Hollywood, movies

culture such as Hollywood, movies basically. And you need

basically. And you need education, school system.

education, school system. Okay? These are the people who who are

Okay? These are the people who who are all prisoners who have become leaders of

all prisoners who have become leaders of the prisoners and who are

the prisoners and who are helping them understand the shadows on

helping them understand the shadows on the wall.

the wall. So, am I in the media?

So, am I in the media? Yes, you are. Am I? Yes. So, am I What

Yes, you are. Am I? Yes. So, am I What am I doing? What Am I one of the people

am I doing? What Am I one of the people in the fire controlling the narrative?

in the fire controlling the narrative? Is that what Yes. Yes. But how But I I'm

Is that what Yes. Yes. But how But I I'm not owned by anybody.

not owned by anybody. That's what you think. Oh, really? Yes.

That's what you think. Oh, really? Yes. And who who am I owned by?

And who who am I owned by? Ultimately, it's the people who control

Ultimately, it's the people who control the fire that are in charge, right? So,

the fire that are in charge, right? So, ultimately, it's these people, the

ultimately, it's these people, the second layer. Okay.

second layer. Okay. >> The game masters, the financial elite

>> The game masters, the financial elite that control everything. And the

that control everything. And the financial elite then are like the World

financial elite then are like the World Bank, you said. No. No. The financial

Bank, you said. No. No. The financial elite are these private bankers. Okay,

elite are these private bankers. Okay, so are the private bankers controlling

so are the private bankers controlling me?

me? Cuz you said I was in the media. Do you

Cuz you said I was in the media. Do you want to make money?

want to make money? Yeah. Then they're controlling you.

Yeah. Then they're controlling you. Okay. Right?

Okay. Right? How are they controlling me? Because

How are they controlling me? Because they control the creation of money.

they control the creation of money. And so,

And so, now that you have the media,

now that you have the media, the schools, and the cultural systems

the schools, and the cultural systems helping people understand the shadows on

helping people understand the shadows on the wall,

the wall, these shadows now

these shadows now become internalized. And they dictate

become internalized. And they dictate the

the values and norms of people, what they

values and norms of people, what they believe to be good and bad.

believe to be good and bad. They dictate habits and customs, how you

They dictate habits and customs, how you live your life.

live your life. And they dictate the legal system, who's

And they dictate the legal system, who's punished

punished for what. Okay? And this becomes a top

for what. Okay? And this becomes a top edifice.

edifice. And what's amazing about the system

And what's amazing about the system is that in our minds, okay? In our

is that in our minds, okay? In our minds, we believe that the system is,

minds, we believe that the system is, first of all, the complete opposite.

first of all, the complete opposite. Where where the foundation is actually

Where where the foundation is actually the laws, the habits, and the values.

the laws, the habits, and the values. When in fact, in reality,

When in fact, in reality, these are just figments of our

these are just figments of our imagination. Okay? That's point one.

imagination. Okay? That's point one. Point two is that this is a very very

Point two is that this is a very very delicate structure. So, if anyone

delicate structure. So, if anyone doesn't cooperate, okay?

doesn't cooperate, okay? Then this is this edifice collapses.

Then this is this edifice collapses. It's because it's a very very delicate

It's because it's a very very delicate system, okay?

system, okay? And the third thing, and this is the

And the third thing, and this is the most important to understand the world

most important to understand the world that we live in,

that we live in, as this system becomes much more wobbly,

as this system becomes much more wobbly, meaning that young people don't really

meaning that young people don't really believe in the shadows anymore. Young

believe in the shadows anymore. Young people grow up and says, "Hmm, are these

people grow up and says, "Hmm, are these shadows really real? They don't feel

shadows really real? They don't feel real to me."

real to me." The system needs to become much more

The system needs to become much more authoritarian.

authoritarian. It needs to force people to believe what

It needs to force people to believe what they refuse to believe.

they refuse to believe. Because

Because everyone in the system is incentivized

everyone in the system is incentivized to ensure this edifice is stable. Do you

to ensure this edifice is stable. Do you think this is somewhat linked to what's

think this is somewhat linked to what's going on with independent media?

going on with independent media? Exactly. Because independent media are

Exactly. Because independent media are asking a lot of questions about the way

asking a lot of questions about the way society functions. Exactly. And that's

society functions. Exactly. And that's why we're seeing governments becoming

why we're seeing governments becoming very worried about independent media.

very worried about independent media. Because if you have people in the

Because if you have people in the population saying, "These These shadows

population saying, "These These shadows are fake."

are fake." This creates a ripple effect. It causes

This creates a ripple effect. It causes uh people to start questioning the

uh people to start questioning the shadows on the wall. You can't have

shadows on the wall. You can't have that. So, that's why it's important to

that. So, that's why it's important to have censorship. That's why it's

have censorship. That's why it's important to deplatform people. That's

important to deplatform people. That's why you have woke politics, DEI. This is

why you have woke politics, DEI. This is a enforcement mechanism.

Yeah, I mean, it is pretty hard, you know, it's pretty It's not easy being a

know, it's pretty It's not easy being a uh an independent podcaster if you have

uh an independent podcaster if you have a big platform cuz

a big platform cuz you're not always the most loved by the

you're not always the most loved by the mainstream media. And they'll figure out

mainstream media. And they'll figure out how to eventually But, I think that's I

how to eventually But, I think that's I think that's very human, actually. I

think that's very human, actually. I think I think the incentives are quite

understandable from a human perspective. Look, if you look at the system, no

Look, if you look at the system, no one's really in charge,

one's really in charge, and no one's a villain.

and no one's a villain. They just grow up in the system.

They just grow up in the system. >> And everyone's protecting their

incentives. Exactly. That's kind of what I mean. I'm like, yeah, I have human

I mean. I'm like, yeah, I have human nature is to protect one's incentives,

nature is to protect one's incentives, and you know, the media didn't like Mark

and you know, the media didn't like Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook because 80% of

Zuckerberg and Facebook because 80% of 70, 80% of ad revenue went to Google and

70, 80% of ad revenue went to Google and Facebook. So, they had a bit of a war.

Facebook. So, they had a bit of a war. So, I kind of get it. People are trying

to protect what's theirs. And disruption causes people to, I

And disruption causes people to, I guess, panic a little bit, but makes

But, the problem is that

that over time, more and more young people

over time, more and more young people are going to grow up and say, "I don't

are going to grow up and say, "I don't see shadows.

see shadows. I'm pretty sure we're being lied to."

I'm pretty sure we're being lied to." In which case, this presents an

opportunity to overthrow the system and create a new system.

create a new system. And this is why AI is important.

And this is why AI is important. But, we we we currently believe this

But, we we we currently believe this one. We currently believe in this

one. We currently believe in this structure. It's almost It's really

structure. It's almost It's really difficult, I think, for the average

difficult, I think, for the average person listening now to accept the fact

person listening now to accept the fact that they have believed a bunch of

that they have believed a bunch of fundamental ideas and stories that

fundamental ideas and stories that everything they care about is sat upon.

everything they care about is sat upon. But, I mean, you only if you read the

But, I mean, you only if you read the book Sapiens and understood that humans

book Sapiens and understood that humans got here because we had a remarkable

got here because we had a remarkable ability to believe in stories that maybe

ability to believe in stories that maybe the orangutan could not believe. It

the orangutan could not believe. It couldn't believe in money and

couldn't believe in money and governments, and religions, and all

governments, and religions, and all these kinds of things. It makes perfect

these kinds of things. It makes perfect sense that yeah, there's really

sense that yeah, there's really foundational stories we are accepting,

foundational stories we are accepting, and that's what's brought us here today.

and that's what's brought us here today. That's what keeps me from running out on

That's what keeps me from running out on the street without our clothes on, or

the street without our clothes on, or doing other illicit activities, is I'm

doing other illicit activities, is I'm held in place by a set of stories um

held in place by a set of stories um that I've accepted, and they are stacked

that I've accepted, and they are stacked one upon the other to make me believe

one upon the other to make me believe that everything I'm saying and accepting

that everything I'm saying and accepting is

is valid.

valid. But

But you know, I guess the question becomes,

you know, I guess the question becomes, am I okay with this reality?

am I okay with this reality? And what's stopping us from creating our

And what's stopping us from creating our own reality that benefits everyone? Is

own reality that benefits everyone? Is that possible?

that possible? Well, in theory, it's possible, but as

Well, in theory, it's possible, but as you point out, there's certain people

you point out, there's certain people who are happy with the system and want

who are happy with the system and want to maintain the system. And that's why

to maintain the system. And that's why we're going to war around the world,

we're going to war around the world, because it's not just a war between

because it's not just a war between different nation-states. It's also a war

different nation-states. It's also a war for the fundamental nature of reality.

for the fundamental nature of reality. You have the bankers

You have the bankers versus the tech bros, right? That's what

versus the tech bros, right? That's what we're seeing in the world right now.

we're seeing in the world right now. Where for the longest time, Wall Street

Where for the longest time, Wall Street has controlled America, but now with the

has controlled America, but now with the with the Trump revolution, you have

with the Trump revolution, you have Palantir.

Palantir. You have people like Larry Ellison,

You have people like Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel,

Peter Thiel, uh Sam Altman, who want to create

uh Sam Altman, who want to create Operation Stargate,

Operation Stargate, which gives them complete control over

which gives them complete control over people's imagination.

people's imagination. You cannot get over that. Okay.

And that thing will come down eventually,

that thing will come down eventually, because that is just

because that is just the fundamental fact of human history.

the fundamental fact of human history. Everything, no matter how stable it

Everything, no matter how stable it seems in the beginning, it all comes

seems in the beginning, it all comes crashing down eventually. Eventually.

crashing down eventually. Eventually. Eventually.

Eventually. >> Cyclically. Cyclically.

Yes. Um Ray Dalio talks about the cycles

Um Ray Dalio talks about the cycles through history, and how so or they are,

and how frequent they are. Is there a frequency to the rise and fall of these

frequency to the rise and fall of these I guess perceived realities or empires

I guess perceived realities or empires as he as he calls it. Yeah, so they say

as he as he calls it. Yeah, so they say empires last about 20 years.

empires last about 20 years. And so we are now in the twilight of the

And so we are now in the twilight of the American empire.

American empire. And what we know is that when empires

And what we know is that when empires decline,

decline, it's always for the same reasons.

it's always for the same reasons. And

And um

um it's always because of too much debt,

it's always because of too much debt, too much corruption,

too much corruption, too much inequality. And we're seeing

too much inequality. And we're seeing that in America today. And the other

that in America today. And the other thing that we know is you can't actually

thing that we know is you can't actually stop the decline of empires. So Oswald

stop the decline of empires. So Oswald Spengler, who is a German theoretician,

Spengler, who is a German theoretician, he argues that

he argues that we are human beings and we have natural

we are human beings and we have natural life cycles because we're organisms.

it's not too bad for my myself? I guess I'm asking this question in light of you

I'm asking this question in light of you predicting that there might be a

predicting that there might be a collapse of the sort of Western or the

collapse of the sort of Western or the American empire.

American empire. And in such a scenario, I was wondering

an American. And is there a a solution or course of

And is there a a solution or course of behavior one should take in such a

behavior one should take in such a scenario? But what I guess that's the

scenario? But what I guess that's the key question which is if the US empire

key question which is if the US empire does collapse, how does American life

does collapse, how does American life change or Western life change? Okay. So,

change or Western life change? Okay. So, one theory that's very important to

one theory that's very important to understand

understand is something called hermetic philosophy.

is something called hermetic philosophy. And hermetic philosophy is what

And hermetic philosophy is what underpins

underpins um Plato's allegory of the cave. Mhm.

um Plato's allegory of the cave. Mhm. And hermetic philosophy comes from

And hermetic philosophy comes from Egypt.

Egypt. And it has certain principles, but its

And it has certain principles, but its main principle is that reality is

main principle is that reality is energy, is vibrations. Okay, so we think

energy, is vibrations. Okay, so we think of it as material, but material is a

of it as material, but material is a consequence of energy. Mhm. Right? So,

consequence of energy. Mhm. Right? So, what this means is that

what this means is that reality is consciousness itself. Mhm.

reality is consciousness itself. Mhm. So,

So, our thoughts are what's real.

our thoughts are what's real. Our bodies

Our bodies are just vehicles to expre- to

are just vehicles to expre- to experience the world around us, but

experience the world around us, but they're not real. When we die, our souls

they're not real. When we die, our souls return to the source, and we come back

return to the source, and we come back again. And we're here primarily in order

again. And we're here primarily in order to experience things we cannot

to experience things we cannot experience in the spiritual world,

experience in the spiritual world, because in the spiritual world it's not

because in the spiritual world it's not material. Mhm.

material. Mhm. So,

So, what's really important is to appreciate

what's really important is to appreciate that

that every one of us is part of the source.

every one of us is part of the source. And so, if we think about the totality

And so, if we think about the totality of things, we can only become

of things, we can only become despondent. We can only give up hope.

despondent. We can only give up hope. But if we think about how individually

But if we think about how individually we can become a better person,

we can become a better person, and how we can impact the people around

and how we can impact the people around us,

us, then that becomes reflected

then that becomes reflected onto the reality itself.

onto the reality itself. Because we're just part of God itself.

Because we're just part of God itself. Right? So, the idea is as above, so

Right? So, the idea is as above, so below.

below. As below, so above. Meaning that we are

As below, so above. Meaning that we are each and every one of us fractals of

each and every one of us fractals of God. Mhm. So, we choose to be a good

God. Mhm. So, we choose to be a good person,

person, this

this makes the world a better place. We

interesting. I've spoken to a couple of physicists now who say similar things

physicists now who say similar things regarding

regarding about consciousness, and it really has

about consciousness, and it really has stuck with me. A lot of things people

stuck with me. A lot of things people say, you know, sometimes because I I

say, you know, sometimes because I I learn so much doing this that I forget

learn so much doing this that I forget them. But this idea that um

them. But this idea that um that we're all part of the same

that we're all part of the same consciousness, and that I think someone

consciousness, and that I think someone said to me, a physicist said to me that

said to me, a physicist said to me that um

um it's almost like consciousness divided

it's almost like consciousness divided into lots of little pieces so that

into lots of little pieces so that >> That's right. Fractals. Fractals. So,

just like looking up and looking around. And I just for a second thought of it

And I just for a second thought of it thought of them as like little peach

thought of them as like little peach pieces of consciousness exploring the

pieces of consciousness exploring the world, cuz they were like looking up and

world, cuz they were like looking up and looking around and looking at mountains

looking around and looking at mountains and looking at the ocean and looking at

and looking at the ocean and looking at the floor. And it it dawned on me for a

the floor. And it it dawned on me for a second that that might just be

second that that might just be consciousness

consciousness is manifestation for sort of I guess

is manifestation for sort of I guess exploration.

exploration. It's which is a really interesting idea.

It's which is a really interesting idea. I don't necessarily know what it means,

I don't necessarily know what it means, but it does create a little lot of

but it does create a little lot of empathy.

empathy. >> So, so one one area that you might want

>> So, so one one area that you might want to explore is the Kabbalah. So, what

to explore is the Kabbalah. So, what How's this What What's this Kabbalah

How's this What What's this Kabbalah thing? Right. It's called It's what they

And the question left for you is, who will you miss the most and why?

will you miss the most and why? Well,

Well, I will miss my wife the most

I will miss my wife the most because I met my wife about 10 years ago

because I met my wife about 10 years ago and this was a time in my life when I

and this was a time in my life when I had and when I had I had hit rock

had and when I had I had hit rock bottom.

bottom. Um I went to Yale and so I have a very

Um I went to Yale and so I have a very um elevated sense of myself and my

um elevated sense of myself and my abilities. And so I went into the world

abilities. And so I went into the world thinking that I would conquer it.

thinking that I would conquer it. And after decades of failure,

And after decades of failure, um I

um I basically became very depressed.

basically became very depressed. Failure?

Failure? Yes, I meaning I didn't have a job,

Yes, I meaning I didn't have a job, meaning I didn't have much income,

meaning I didn't have much income, meaning I didn't have much hope in my

meaning I didn't have much hope in my life. And so I was working as a teacher

life. And so I was working as a teacher and in formal acquaintance, I met my

and in formal acquaintance, I met my wife.

wife. And

And I think that it was because

I think that it was because I became so depressed that my heart

I became so depressed that my heart I begged for relief. I begged God, even

I begged for relief. I begged God, even though I don't believe in God,

though I don't believe in God, for salvation and redemption.

for salvation and redemption. And my wife

And my wife came as an angel.

came as an angel. And what she did that no one else did

And what she did that no one else did before was she loved me unconditionally.

before was she loved me unconditionally. She was kind to me.

She was kind to me. She

She told me

told me to believe in myself.

to believe in myself. And she proved it

And she proved it by making the ultimate sacrifice and

by making the ultimate sacrifice and having a child with me.

having a child with me. Right? It's one thing to for someone to

Right? It's one thing to for someone to say, "I believe in you. I love you." But

say, "I believe in you. I love you." But it's another thing to have a child with

it's another thing to have a child with that person. And so that changed me

that person. And so that changed me totally. And I I said to myself, "I

totally. And I I said to myself, "I can't despair anymore. I have to work

can't despair anymore. I have to work hard. I have to provide for my family."

hard. I have to provide for my family." And at this time I was thinking that

And at this time I was thinking that maybe I could help Chinese students

maybe I could help Chinese students go

go to Yale. Like, you know, in China uh

to Yale. Like, you know, in China uh consulting is a huge business where if

consulting is a huge business where if you help package your kid and you get

you help package your kid and you get into Yale, you get about a million

into Yale, you get about a million dollars. That's a lot of money, right?

dollars. That's a lot of money, right? And she told me, "You can't do that. You

And she told me, "You can't do that. You have to be true to yourself and you have

have to be true to yourself and you have to be true to our son.

to be true to our son. Set a good example for him." And so,

Set a good example for him." And so, what happened was that I got a job as a

what happened was that I got a job as a high school teacher.

high school teacher. And then I started to make these YouTube

And then I started to make these YouTube videos.

videos. And then it blew up online.

And then it blew up online. And this was not something that we

And this was not something that we expected. This is not something that we

expected. This is not something that we planned for. It just happened

planned for. It just happened organically.

organically. So,

So, it was my wife just just by saying,

it was my wife just just by saying, "I love you" to me and I knew it to be

"I love you" to me and I knew it to be true because we had a child together, we

true because we had a child together, we started a family together. By loving me

started a family together. By loving me unconditionally, by being kind to me, it

unconditionally, by being kind to me, it changed me forever.

changed me forever. And that's what empowered me to want to

And that's what empowered me to want to share myself with other people as well.

share myself with other people as well. And so, I don't know how I will ever

And so, I don't know how I will ever thank my wife. I'm I'm forever grateful

thank my wife. I'm I'm forever grateful for her. And I don't I don't Before I

for her. And I don't I don't Before I didn't really mind leaving this world,

didn't really mind leaving this world, but I don't want to leave this world

but I don't want to leave this world anymore because I don't want to separate

anymore because I don't want to separate from her.

from her. Could you have expected that you'd have

You've only made 146 of these videos. And your your channel has grown

And your your channel has grown immensely. Could could you have

immensely. Could could you have imagined?

I did. You did imagine? Yes. You thought it would go like this?

it would go like this? Um not this big, but I imagined, you

Um not this big, but I imagined, you know, I I would find people who believe

know, I I would find people who believe in what I was doing and would be

in what I was doing and would be inspired by what I was doing. And I knew

inspired by what I was doing. And I knew this because

this because when I met my wife and I fell in love

when I met my wife and I fell in love for the first time. We love each other

for the first time. We love each other uh

uh unconditionally.

unconditionally. My imagination start to open up. I could

My imagination start to open up. I could see and feel things that were not

see and feel things that were not available to me before.

available to me before. And it was as though I became much more

And it was as though I became much more connected to the source. I became much

connected to the source. I became much more connected to the universe. The

more connected to the universe. The universe was giving me insights

universe was giving me insights as to how to proceed.

as to how to proceed. And so

And so I had one day an inspiration. Let me

I had one day an inspiration. Let me start our YouTube channel. Let me make

start our YouTube channel. Let me make stupid predictions and see where where

stupid predictions and see where where it goes.

it goes. Because if I'm right, then then

Because if I'm right, then then I would be

I would be pretty famous. If I'm wrong, then I'm an

pretty famous. If I'm wrong, then I'm an idiot.

idiot. But what gave me the courage to imagine

But what gave me the courage to imagine all this was again the love of my wife.

all this was again the love of my wife. So that's why I say kindness and love.

So I did imagine this, but not to the extent that um

extent that um you know, my YouTube channel has blown
