[00:00:00] Alex Tsakiris: Hi everybody, I have an interview, slashed swap cast coming up with Charlie Robinson. If you don’t know, he’s the author of a really terrific book, “The Octopus of Global Control.” He’s also the co-author with Jeff Berwick of controlled demolition of the American Empire and he now this is the third book that he’s coming out with that we’ll talk a little bit about on this show. Again, this is kind of a swap cast kind of thing, we’re each putting it out on our channel. Charlie, also, I should mention, does the macro aggressions podcast, which is quite good and you might have also heard him on tinfoil hat, or the union of the unwanted, a lot of different places. Oh, and on the higher side chats which I’ve referenced the interview he did there so, Charlie’s a great guy, super smart and I enjoy talking with him. Here are a couple clips, and then we’ll roll right into the interview. You don’t think for a minute that you have the ability to sort through any of this information slash science on your own. You don’t, buddy, that’s why you got to listen to us.

[00:01:02] Charlie Robinson: Yeah, it’s not about science. It’s about compliance. It’s about doing what we tell you. Let’s put the science off to the side. Just look at the government’s reaction, Hey, average guy on the street, you know that the government basically hates your guts, right? They invent new ways to take your money through taxation. They never treat you well. They’re constantly looking for new ways to take from you for them so that they can spend it frivolously and all this stuff, and you know that and we all know that and we’ve experienced that throughout our lives. Now, all of a sudden, the same group that has treated you so poorly, your entire life now has taken an unbelievable interest in your personal health, and all the science out of the way, doesn’t that make you a little bit suspicious? You’re like, that’s where my conversation with people kind of starts. It’s like, just look at their behavior. The most insane thing, the craziest person you know, that always treats you poorly now sees you walking home, pulls up alongside and says, “Get in the car. I’ll give you a ride home.”

[00:02:09] Alex Tsakiris: Like I mentioned a minute ago, we are going to roll right into the interview. So, yes, you are at Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers, and their critics and Charlie Robinson is a leading thinker, no doubt about it. Here’s the interview. What were you doing in real estate in Las Vegas?

[00:02:31] Charlie Robinson: I was working in new homes. I started in 2003, right when everything got going.

[00:02:40] Alex Tsakiris: You’re the guy in The Big Short Movie.

[00:02:44] Charlie Robinson: It’s funny because there’s a scene in The Big Short where they go to the strip bar and the strippers [are] like oh, I’ll do your loan and everything and in actuality, in 2004, I was working for Del Webb which is an act of adultery in 55 and older it’s a great community,
