August 14, 2025 #513 ART- Gold, Ticks, and the Fed
What if the most important headlines aren't the ones dominating your news feed? Tony Arterburn strips away the political theater to reveal a startling truth: the President of the United States must resort to lawsuits against the Federal Reserve chairman because he lacks direct authority over America's central bank. This single revelation illuminates the hidden power structure controlling our financial system.

The journey begins with an exploration of the Federal Reserve's secretive origins at Jekyll Island in 1910, where banking dynasties like the Rothschilds, Warburgs, and Rockefellers created a private consortium disguised with the word "Federal" to suggest government oversight. Within years of its establishment, America's national debt quintupled from $1 billion to $5 billion, coinciding perfectly with World War I—a conflict Arterburn describes as "a banker's war" where the same families funded both sides.

Gold's performance has broken free from its traditional market drivers, achieving three consecutive years of double-digit returns despite rapid interest rate hikes that historically would suppress precious metals. This unprecedented disconnect signals a fundamental shift in the global monetary order. Meanwhile, central banks worldwide are racing to acquire gold and other commodities in preparation for what comes after the dollar-based system collapses.

The broadcast takes a darker turn with Palantir CEO Alex Karp's prediction of a "three-front war" with Russia, China, and Iran featuring autonomous weapons systems. Even more disturbing, academic "ethics professors" have published a paper proposing the deliberate spread of Lone Star ticks to induce meat allergies as a climate solution—a plan that could trigger potentially fatal reactions in affected individuals.

These seemingly disparate threats share a common thread: they represent facets of what was previously called "The Great Reset"—a fundamental restructuring of global systems now proceeding under different names but with the same objectives. As Arterburn warns, "If you're still talking about Democrats versus Republicans, you don't even know what's going on."

August 07, 2025 #512 ART- The Moon is Flat (And Other Economic Truths)
The global monetary system is facing a reckoning, and the signs are everywhere if you know where to look. We're witnessing what appears to be a controlled demolition of the fiat currency paradigm, disguised as routine economic management.

Today we dive deep into the Federal Reserve's puzzling decision to maintain elevated interest rates despite clear economic warning signs. Housing sales have plummeted to levels not seen since 1995, yet central bankers remain steadfast in their high-rate policy. This begs the question Michael Snyder recently posed: "Is the Federal Reserve purposely trying to destroy the US economy?" The evidence suggests something more systematic than mere incompetence.

Since 1973—the last year America ran a trade surplus—we've been on a trajectory of declining manufacturing capability, increasing financialization, and transformation into a consumer-based rather than production-based economy. This wasn't accidental but engineered through policies that shipped our manufacturing overseas and decoupled our currency from tangible value.

Meanwhile, the world's largest holders of capital are quietly positioning themselves differently than what mainstream financial networks suggest. They're acquiring physical assets—precious metals, agricultural land, energy resources, and commodities. Central banks worldwide are accumulating gold at record rates, while corporate treasuries diversify into Bitcoin and other hard assets. These aren't speculative moves but defensive positions against what sophisticated players recognize as the end game of the fiat experiment.

We also explore historical parallels as we find ourselves in what scholars call a "fourth turning"—a cyclical period of upheaval occurring approximately every 80 years. The last fourth turning culminated in world-changing events including the atomic bombings of Japan—which evidence suggests may have been unnecessary as surrender was already imminent.

Whether you're concerned about preserving wealth or simply understanding the forces shaping our economic future, this episode offers crucial insights into navigating what may be the most significant financial transformation of our lifetimes. Subscribe now and join us as we separate financial reality from the myths perpetuated by those who benefit from keeping you in the dark.

July 24, 2025 #511 ART- Decentralization vs The Great Reset & Que the Foreign Hobgoblins
The economic landscape is shifting dramatically beneath our feet, and understanding the transformation is crucial for navigating what comes next. The warning signs are undeniable – from accelerating declines in leading economic indicators to record-high consumer anxiety about finances. When 25% of buy-now-pay-later users are now using these loans just to purchase groceries (up from 14% a year ago), something fundamental has changed in our economic reality.

What makes this moment unique is the tension between two powerful forces: the historical trend toward decentralization versus the elite push for centralized control. Throughout history, from the Protestant Reformation to the American Revolution to the Digital Age, humanity has moved toward greater decentralization. Yet powerful interests continually fight against this current, attempting to maintain or increase centralized authority through monetary policy, regulatory frameworks, and technological control mechanisms.

The AI revolution adds another dimension to this transformation. While potentially eliminating vast numbers of white-collar jobs, AI also offers tools for individual empowerment – if used properly. The danger lies not in the technology itself but in outsourcing our critical thinking and moral reasoning. When we allow external systems to make judgments for us rather than enhancing our own understanding, we become less capable of navigating complexity. As one observer notes, "We have bred a generation of exquisitely credentialed, deeply immoral anti-intellectuals on the brink of entering leadership."

During times of significant change and domestic tension, history teaches us to watch for manufactured foreign crises designed to distract and reunify the population. As James Madison observed, "The means of defense against foreign danger have always been the instruments of tyranny at home." This pattern of distraction through external threats remains as relevant today as in ancient Rome.

How can you protect yourself in this environment? Start by questioning outdated economic models while developing frameworks better suited to the reality we're entering. Consider how decentralized assets like precious metals and cryptocurrencies might serve as hedges against monetary instability. Most importantly, cultivate the increasingly rare ability to think deeply and independently – the very superpower that technology paradoxically makes both more valuable and more scarce.

July 22, 2025 #38 Gold : How it shaped History with Alan Ereira
The mysterious power of gold to shape human civilization extends far deeper than most realize. In this captivating conversation with Alan Ereira, author of "Gold: How It Shaped History," we uncover gold's extraordinary journey through time and its profound impact on humanity.

Herrera reveals how his work with the Kogi people of Colombia sparked his fascination with gold. This indigenous culture, which managed to resist Spanish colonization by retreating to their mountain sanctuary, maintains a sacred relationship with gold as the "fundamental source of fertility in the world." Their warnings about excessive gold extraction mirror concerns voiced by ancient Roman writer Pliny, suggesting a cross-cultural understanding that modern society has forgotten.

The archaeological evidence tells a remarkable story. Six thousand seven hundred years ago at Varna on the Black Sea shores, the first known deliberate use of gold created what we immediately recognize as royal regalia - a crown, scepter, and chest disc. This same pattern appeared independently across civilizations separated by vast distances and time, suggesting something deeply ingrained in human psychology connects gold with power and divinity.

Perhaps most fascinating is gold's cosmic origin. The tremendous forces required to create gold atoms likely came from neutron star collisions - catastrophic events visible across the universe. This means all Earth's gold arrived after our planet formed, deposited from space in a cosmic jackpot that continues to influence our destiny.

From ancient Babylon to modern central banks, gold's monetary role has shaped economies and empires. When Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem for its temple gold, he unwittingly caused inflation that disrupted ancient economies. Similarly, when Spanish conquistadors brought American gold to Europe, it transformed the social order. Yet through all these fluctuations, gold maintains its purchasing power in ways fiat currencies cannot match.

As we navigate today's financial uncertainties and potential shifts away from dollar hegemony, gold's enduring significance offers perspective on what truly constitutes value in our world. Whether viewed as sacred substance or economic anchor, gold continues its millennia-long relationship with humanity, connecting us to our past while potentially securing our future.

July 17, 2025 #510 ART - Silver's Hidden Surge: Russia, Bitcoin, and the Exit from Real Estate
The magic trick of money isn't just economics—it's the ultimate control mechanism. When you ask whether a president can fire the Federal Reserve chair, you're unwittingly exposing the shadow power structure that's controlled America for over a century.

November 22, 1910 marked the beginning of America's modern monetary regime when powerful financiers secretly gathered on Jekyll Island to create a central bank—one that would later emerge as the Federal Reserve. Despite its name, it's neither federal nor maintains meaningful reserves. This deception was intentional, as language and perception management remain crucial to maintaining control over the money supply. As Mayer Amschel Rothschild famously declared, "The person who controls the money supply controls the empire."

This episode uncovers how the recent clash between Trump and Jerome Powell mirrors a shocking historical confrontation where President Lyndon Johnson physically pushed Fed Chair William McChesney Martin against a wall, demanding he "print money" for the Vietnam War. The parallels are unmistakable—political theater disguising the perpetual struggle for monetary control.

Meanwhile, Russia's central bank is quietly accumulating silver as a strategic reserve for the first time, potentially explaining silver's 30% price surge this year. As BRICS nations position themselves to break free from dollar dominance, silver represents an undervalued monetary metal with significant upside potential. Simultaneously, younger generations priced out of housing markets are turning to Bitcoin as digital territory—a shift that could transform the $400 trillion global real estate market as property's traditional monetary premium collapses.

July 10, 2025 #509 ART - When Dollars Become Candy Wrappers: The BRICS Revolution
The global balance of power is shifting beneath our feet, and few are noticing the seismic changes underway. Tony Arterburn delivers a piercing examination of three critical developments that signal profound transformations in our world order.

First, the Epstein case represents far more than a scandal—it exposes the blackmail mechanism that underpins our entire political system. The bizarre reality that Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of trafficking children to "nobody" illustrates how power protects itself. As investigative journalist Nick Bryant explains, the federal government actively suppresses the full story because "a huge part of our political system is predicated on blackmail." The connections run deep: Attorney General Bill Barr oversaw the Epstein case while his father had given Epstein his first job working with children decades earlier. These aren't coincidences but patterns that reveal how compromised individuals ascend to positions of influence.

Meanwhile, a financial revolution is unfolding as BRICS nations aggressively pursue de-dollarization. Now representing 50% of the world's population and 40% of global GDP, this alliance is constructing an alternative financial architecture. Russia and China have already shifted 90% of their $227 billion annual trade away from dollars, while Saudi Arabia—the traditional cornerstone of the petrodollar system—now accepts yuan for oil. China is dumping US Treasuries while accumulating gold, positioning itself for a post-dollar world. The implications are profound: America's ability to fund its deficits through currency dominance is eroding rapidly.

Domestically, the "Big Beautiful Bill" reveals troubling contradictions in American governance. While cutting nutrition assistance under the premise that "America is broke," the legislation simultaneously delivers billions in subsidies to large agricultural interests, with 70% of payments flowing to the top 10% of recipients. It's socialism for the well-connected, austerity for everyone else.

These developments aren't isolated incidents but interconnected symptoms of imperial decline. As you watch markets, monitor international relations, or consider your financial future, remember that the world won't announce its transformation—it will simply proceed with or without your awareness. The question isn't whether change is coming, but whether you'll be prepared when it arrives.

June 26, 2025 #508 ART- The Dog That Didn't Bark: Markets React to World War III Preview
The monetary system we've taken for granted is experiencing a profound transformation—a collision between infinite fiat currency creation and the finite reality of physical resources. This clash is reshaping our economic landscape in ways few understand or acknowledge.

In this penetrating analysis, Tony Arterburn examines why markets barely reacted to what many feared would become "World War III," suggesting that powerful players anticipated these events. This eerie calm—like "a dog that didn't bark"—points to deeper currents beneath the surface noise of daily headlines.

The episode unpacks Texas's revolutionary move to establish the first state-backed gold payment system, allowing citizens to spend precious metals via debit cards and mobile apps. While proponents celebrate this as a return to constitutional money, Tony raises crucial questions: Does converting physical gold into state-managed digital currency truly represent financial freedom, or might it become a sophisticated form of asset control? The answer will shape not just Texas's economy but potentially redefine financial sovereignty nationwide.

Perhaps most revealing is the silent story told by silver's dramatic rise. When a pre-1965 quarter now contains $6.50 in silver, we're witnessing in real time the collapse of our currency's purchasing power. This isn't mere inflation—it's the mathematical certainty of fiat debasement playing out exactly as predicted by monetary historians.

Tony connects these developments to the broader implementation of Agenda 2030 goals, suggesting we're witnessing an accelerated timeline for centralized control systems being established globally. The unprecedented direct commissioning of Silicon Valley executives into military leadership positions without normal training requirements signals unusual preparation for what may lie ahead.

Whether you're concerned about preserving wealth, understanding geopolitical shifts, or simply making sense of increasingly chaotic times, this episode provides crucial context for navigating what appears to be a carefully orchestrated transition to a new economic order. What emerges clearly is that physical possession of real assets—not digital promises—may be our last remaining bulwark against a future where access to resources becomes increasingly controlled and conditional.

June 20, 2025 #507 ART - War Hawks Circle as the Dollar Weakens
What happens when warmongering meets a crumbling financial system? The answer might be found in an ancient parable about King Croesus, who was told by an oracle that "a great empire would fall" if he attacked Persia. Interpreting this as his enemy's downfall, Croesus attacked—only to see his own empire destroyed.

Today, we stand at a similar crossroads. Despite polling showing only 16% of Americans supporting military intervention against Iran, powerful forces push for exactly that. Drawing from firsthand experience as a combat veteran in Iraq, I explore the brutal reality behind the sanitized media narratives about war and intervention. The human cost—destroyed ancient churches, obliterated families, and generational trauma—never makes it to the evening news or the talking points of those calling for more conflict.

Meanwhile, something profound is happening in the global financial system. Central banks worldwide are abandoning the dollar and stockpiling gold at unprecedented rates. The World Gold Council reports 95% of central bankers expect gold reserves to increase in the next 12 months—a powerful vote of no confidence in the current monetary regime. Since 2001, America's national debt has exploded from $5 trillion to $36 trillion, creating a mathematical certainty that change is coming.

These twin currents—perpetual war and monetary collapse—aren't separate phenomena but deeply interconnected aspects of empire in decline. Every military adventure accelerates de-dollarization as countries seek alternatives to a system weaponized against them. The neoconservative establishment, with roots tracing back to Trotskyite ideology rather than traditional conservatism, seems determined to sacrifice American prosperity and security for ideological projects serving interests beyond our borders.

How can you navigate this dangerous convergence? Start by understanding what's happening beneath the headlines. Consider how to position yourself outside a failing system, whether through precious metals, sound money alternatives, or simply by refusing to be emotionally manipulated into supporting policies that harm your own future. The world is changing rapidly—will you be prepared when a great empire falls
