This is your World War II update. Okay, so we're on the precipice of a global disaster, and, uh, it's going to get worse. And this is a marathon, not a sprint. So, you need to be mentally strong for what's coming.
And I got to warn people, what I'm about to talk about today is not for the faint of heart. And I need to make sure that we're on the same page moving forward here because I think that this type of content is debilitating for some people. And, uh, I would be remiss to not address the people who potentially might be nudged into nihilism and nudged into depression and anxiety and impulsivity. This is not the content for you.
If this information that I provide you on a daily basis is not enabling you to be a better, more capable person who's able to confront the challenges that are coming our way, then it's counterproductive, and you really shouldn't watch it. I mean that sincerely from the bottom of my heart because there's a certain type of person, I think, and I, I know I'm very stoic. Uh, which is not to say I'm not stressed out, but there's people who can stoically assimilate the information I provide in a way that is productive and constructive. And there's another type of person, I think, that they just get nudged down a rabbit hole of paranoia and anxiety, and it's negative, and it's not good. This should be empowering you to be a good person, be a better person, be a strong person, man. That's what I want you to be, okay?
Cuz look, sometimes I wonder. I see those people in the Middle East or in Russia and Ukraine, and we're spectators, right? They're the victims. And sometimes you got to wonder, is it better to be rolled up in the train or be the spectator who can see the train hurdling towards you at 1,000 miles an hour and be cursed to be cursed with the awareness that the train is coming when everybody else is standing around you oblivious? That's kind of the position I and many of you are probably in at this point in time. I've always said prepping is about being the best possible version of yourself it can be. And no, that's an Elliot Hulse quote. I got to give credit where credit is due. I did not say that. But in terms of prepping, it's about being the best version of yourself so you can confront the harsh adverse realities that await. So I hope we're on the same page.
Now, if you want the abridged version of what, where this is all heading, well, just imagine a confluence of all of the post-apocalyptic fictional plot lines that you've ever watched blended into one. That's the future. And then you kind of just work your way backwards in time to where we are today. That's where we're heading. Now, why is that the case? We're going to get into the news in a moment. Let's just get through this. All right.
Well, it's the case because the world is run by coldblooded criminals, gangsters. The best way to view it is gangsters because everybody knows what a gangster is. You know, whether it's a mob boss or some low-level street thug, you just have to amplify that to the highest levels of society, to people who have the capital on an industrial scale and the network in order to exact some of the most diabolical machinations that you can imagine. You see those street thugs on the corner shooting people for a bag of dope. What do you think they're going to do to people who are telling the truth?
Okay, so this is why I always warn people. When you see people who are getting all of this acclaim, and I'm not throwing hate on them because honestly, I don't want that kind of attention, and it makes me wonder if those people are protected because, and I mean protected, I mean they're put there. Anybody who claims to be talking about the truth and to have the truth and dirt on all of these gangsters, which will take people out for a lot less, I would just take it all with a grain of salt. Okay. But they're, they're right in the sense that yeah, the people who've risen to the top, they're coldblooded, man. And, uh, what we're seeing right now is a centralization of control that is being leveraged by the aforementioned individuals that is going up against other autocracies in competition for the world's dwindling resource wealth.
Now, you might be saying, "Ah, it's a Malthusian argument. The wealth of the world is not diminishing." Well, the people in power certainly think it is, and for them, the world is shrinking. And what that means is that they're trying to get whatever they can while the getting is good. You know, I was the first in the preparedness space to really talk about game theory before Professor Xiang even, uh, made it a, a hot, uh, talking point in terms of trying to, uh, decipher these events as they unfold through that prism. Well, I was the first to discuss it. And really, that's what we're seeing right now. It's a game of musical chairs. And as there's contraction, you get conflict all the time because if there's not enough to go around, you're going to get a fight. And that's where we're at right now.
In terms of what's happened in the last 24 hours and where I'm going with all this, trust me, there's a lot of substance to what I'm about to, what I'm about to knit together here. In the last 24 hours, as many of you can appreciate, the president orated what amounted to a declaration of a ground war for anybody who had, you know, eyes to see and ears to hear. And of course, some people walked away insisting it was just another ambiguously worded message. But it was basically what he didn't say. He didn't say, "The war is ending and we are withdrawing the troops today." And even if he did say that, quite frankly, it would likely have meant the opposite. But what he did say is that they're about to commit to doing more war crimes. And they did that very thing today by taking out the largest bridge in the Middle East that was built by hardworking Iranians, whether they were part of the IRGC or not. This was by definition a war crime.
And people will say, "Well, no, they're using the bridges to move tanks across." And that argument doesn't fly because, of course, there's detours that you can take. Just because there's a bridge doesn't mean that you can't get those same things there in another way. Uh, it was not an essential, uh, target. And in fact, it was not a, a high-value target at all as far as military is concerned, which makes you wonder, have they run out of targets? And that concerns me because that will ultimately mean that they are forced to target the places in which are problematic with weapons that can actually reach them, and those, of course, are nuclear weapons. Talking, of course, about the missile cities which seem to be impenetrable by conventional munitions.
Now, there's been a lot of information. There's been a big shakeup in the government in the United States today. And people need to understand that the consolidation, the consolidation of control and the centralization of power is apolitical. A military takeover of the government is apolitical. It's not about right or left. It's not about that. And that's where all of this is heading right now.
Now, we've seen Hegseth purge what, three high-ranking officials, uh, one of which was the Army Chief of Staff. Now, this guy was against a ground invasion of Iran, as were a lot of the generals that have been purged thus far. So you can see that what they're trying to do is create a unified upper echelon that is going to go along with whatever plans that they have in the works. But it's more diabolical than that because ultimately, what this amounts to is martial law and a military takeover of sorts. And I'm going to get into the details of that.
So, in addition to this purging of these high-ranking military officials, I remind you that they recently raised the enlistment age, and they did so in the midst of a war. And they didn't do it by one year or two years. They did it by six years. Now, you might be thinking, "Oh, what's the big deal?" Well, in Ukraine, I believe when they make an enlistment age modification, it is usually one or two years in either direction. Six years is pretty extreme. And when these guys do something like that, they do it for a reason. They didn't do that for no reason. People are thinking, "Oh, that's way off in the future. They're never going to use this." No, no, no, no. They did that for a reason. There's a reason why they automated selective service in December. There's a reason why Pete Hegseth made this announcement today that he is now going to authorize certain people, people who are approved to carry firearms on military bases.
Now, this one is particularly insidious because the individuals who are approved will be somewhat of a loyalty cast of sorts, a constabulary that is outside the military police. Now, people say, "Well, you know, the only reason they're going to be approved is to make sure that, you know, some half-cocked 19-year-old who just entered into the service can't just be carrying a pistol around the base." And that's why is it, or is it an insidious step towards building out the infrastructure that would have to be in place for a military takeover? And maybe not an overt military takeover in the way that you imagine it, like everybody, okay, it's going to get an email one day and all right, it's time to lock this place down. Not necessarily. You're going to want enough foot soldiers on the ground though that if there is any resistance, which there probably won't be a lot of, because a lot of people when they come in, they're very malleable. And which is not to say, you know, to speak disparagingly. It's just when you have a young mind who is indoctrinated into military mentality, they're there to follow orders regardless. And they are, you know, conditioned to do that. And this is why they like getting people young. And so you're probably not going to have a lot of resistance if there was a military takeover at the upper echelon. As long as you have the chain of command worked out, you're good to go, but you still might need some foot soldiers on the ground. So for this reason, I think what they're trying to do is they're trying to create all of the conditions so that you have what's called turnkey totalitarianism.
So when they're ready, okay, because when World War II starts, and it's going to start, we have right now the Russians using rotary phones in some cases. They're teaching people how to use rotary phones and analog technology as they've disabled mobile internet, if you can believe that. The Iron Curtain is coming down. They're preparing for something big. They're getting hit every single day massively. And China is just quiet. Nothing out of China. Not a word besides denouncing the US unilateral war of aggression against Iran from their foreign ministry, but nothing major. But they're getting ready for something. And as I've said, as soon as the US commits boots on the ground, China's going to make a move. Just watch. And the Russians are too. The Belarusian president made an announcement today that they're in a state of war. They're getting ready for war. And you could see by the look on all of the generals' faces that they knew something big was about to go down. And Belarus just got nuclear weapons. And the Russians hadn't made any gains in the last, I don't know, few weeks. Any gains. They haven't gained a single square mile of, as far as I know anyways, of Ukrainian territory.
Now, Putin gave an ultimatum, and I know I'm going off from my other thesis here, but Putin gave an ultimatum. Most people don't know this to Zelensky. He said, "You have two months, or we're going to capture the Donbas by force." Actually, he said, "Within two months, we will capture the Donbas by force, and after that, the terms will be different." So the terms for your surrender or an agreement will be different. And so this is why you're seeing things escalating in the Baltic in ways that honestly once would have been mainstream news, Article 5 inducing stuff. But it's not right now because everybody's scared. Everybody is really, really scared because we are really on the precipice. We are so close to the use of nuclear weapons inside Iran. Most people don't realize it. If they're going for bridges, if that's all they can hit right now, and that's not to, that's not to uplift, and this never has been about liberating people. I think I hope people realize that now. Even the pro-monarchists inside Iran are starting to switch sides, effect from the pro-Israeli camp, because they're starting to see the reality that, no, this is an attack on our civilization.
When you have somebody come out saying, "We're going to reduce you to the Stone Age," irrespective of those millions of people you're claiming to save, irrespective of the millions of people who are going to die as a result of you taking out all of the critical infrastructure that sustains life in that country, irrespective of the massive refugee crisis you're about to create, irrespective of the complete destruction of the oil and gas industry in the surrounding region, and just the absolute chaos and global famine and hardship it is going to bring upon the world. Which gets me back to my original points about the fact that the world is run by absolute psychopaths. They don't give a damn. And they don't give a damn about you as much as they don't. You think they don't give a damn about people over there. That's you. That gun gets turned on you eventually. It gets turned on all of us. And this is why Pete Hegseth, see how I brought it all around, is gonna pick and choose who gets to have a gun on a military base. Keep an eye on that one.
I was never a person who was of the belief that Trump was going to do a tyrannical takeover of the government and crown himself king forever. Why? Because Trump is a puppet. This is not a man who is running the show. Okay? There are, the US has its own politburo of sorts, its own shadow government, if you will, that is pulling the strings, making sure somebody goes there and somebody goes here. So when I see Trump arguing with Zelensky, it's like pro wrestling. It's not really what's going on. And I never thought that there would ever be a situation where there was a real threat to having a military takeover, except right now, because they're starting to put all the pieces into the place. Again, like I said, there's a reason why all of the US officials were living on military bases. There's a reason why they're doing this massive purge right now because they're doing a shakedown to make sure everybody is in line with what's about to go down. And it's going to be ugly. The fact that they got rid of the one general, the Chief of Staff of the Army, who is saying going into Iran with boots on the ground isn't a good idea. And the fact that they're just going to do it irrespective. And the fact that all of the press, nobody's really pressing Trump. You remember how it was during Trump's first term when they were just unloading and it was Trump derangement? Let's get real. But now it's the complete opposite. Why? Because it's a uniparty. They wanted Trump to win from the start. They always wanted Trump to win. I told you Trump was going to be the World War II president. He is what they needed. It hasn't worked in the way that they thought. Even with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and trying to bring all the TPSA crowd under their military wing, although I'm not entirely sure because I don't know all the stats of that. Maybe it is boosting recruitment numbers to a certain degree. Regardless, they're increasing the military budget by 50%, purging the upper ranks. They called all the generals in for the meeting last year. And now we're on a fast track towards Day X. And they did it. The crazy sons of bitches did it. They're going to put boots on the ground. And they don't care if it collapses the world economy. They don't care if a billion people die of famine.
And I remind people that the Chinese have been preparing for this for the longest time. They've been stockpiling grain and oil and copper and gold and all of the essential inputs that you would need in order to keep civilization going and keep a revolution at bay during economically austere times. That's what China was doing. Were we doing that? No. We're draining our oil reserve. These guys don't give a damn. Trump just outright, I thought that was some kind of SNL skit yesterday talking about, "We don't care about daycare and we don't care about healthcare. We need to fight a war." What? And everybody's just going along with it. Does that seem, you know why they're doing that? Because they realize if they stop, they're going to be screwed. They're going to be absolutely screwed. And so it's a Caesar trap. You know, Julius Caesar, he realized he had to become emperor or else he was going to get his head chopped off or whatever they did back in those days. And so it's a Caesar trap. The only way they can go now is forward. So they might as well just put the pedal to the metal and try to reach, dare I say, fascism? Because the word has been so politically charged, let's just say totalitarianism. That one still can kind of go in both directions. It's political spectrum, it's like the universe. You go far enough one way, you come out the other side. At least that's what some, uh, some theorists think.
The Russians are preparing, man. They're getting ready. Putin has been way too quiet. While 40% of his oil has been taken offline, and the guy is, it's just like he doesn't care. And now, if you're a Russian citizen and you're seeing that, at some point people are going to say, "Who is this guy really working for?" And that's when the warhawks, that's when you potentially get a mutiny. And people need to realize that the Russians have their own Israeli lobby. Okay. And so I don't know enough about it, but if you ask me, it's very, very strange what's been happening between Russia and Ukraine for the last four years. Not one major government building has been targeted in Ukraine by Russia. Doesn't that seem odd? Despite having their society destroyed in a lot of ways. Now, people say, "Oh, it's just pinprick attacks. 40% of the oil taken offline. Every all that's happened inside Russia is still a pinprick. All the tanks that they've lost." I don't know. Something weird is going on with that. Something weird. And there's an X-factor there. I'm just not entirely.
Now, people are going to go in conspiracy mode. It's a, you know, Project, uh, what, what do you call it? Agenda 2030. And it's all just to get us into, you know, pods and green smart cars and things like that. I, I don't know. But what I do know is that the Russians are banning apps or disabling mobile phones. They've been priming their population for a long time to prepare for full-blown Mad Max nuclear war. There is a covert war mobilization underway in Russia right now. They are recruiting more people. They've, uh, increased the amount of, uh, regular conscription runs that they have. And like I said, Belarus is also preparing for war.
In terms of what's going on, boots on the ground in the United States, well, we know that they're sending a couple dozen Warthog planes, which are primarily to, uh, reinforce ground troops. They could be used for the Strait of Hormuz, but I, I'm not convinced that they're actually being used for that. I'm pretty sure that the Iranians would have the capability to shoot down, uh, one of those Warthogs. And the Iranians, perhaps overconfidently, are welcoming in the Americans. They're saying, "Come on in." And I think they're just assuming that they're not going to try to blow up pretty much every possible thing that they can before that happens. I think they're underestimating the precautions that the US is going to take in terms of trying to just eliminate any possible threat that's above ground beforehand. And we're seeing that today with the assault on the bridge.
Now, Trump is threatening more war crimes. And the reason why he's doing this is they just like ICE. And that was all part of it. ICE, they're getting ready. Listen, guys, they're already, they already have it planned out for anti-war protests down the road. They already know and have all those mechanisms in place to police the population because they know that what they're about to do is going to be so heinous and diabolical that it's going to bring millions of people out into the streets. And remember what the Russian pundit, philosopher, official Dugin said. He said that the worst atrocities are going to be committed inside Iran, and it's going to make what you're seeing in Ukraine and Russia look like preschool. And so he's now passed away, and it would be, if he wasn't, I wonder what he would say today. Not that I necessarily align with his politics per se, but he was right about a lot of things. And so they already have mechanisms in place to deal with people when they get out of control. That's what ICE is all about. And in the same way that ICE pushed the boundaries, they see how far they could push it with Alex Jones, whatever, the guy that got shot, not the first one, you know, that created the controversy, it created the buzz, and then the second guy. Okay, now people are really starting to push back. People are starting to bite back now and actually physically fight back. So we got to pull it back. They're going to do the same thing in Iran. They're going to go as far as they can before they get pushed back. And there was this little bit of pushback with the power plant thing, but then they just did it anyways, right? They're knocking out power plants. Uh, maybe not on the scale that they could, but they don't seem to give a damn how they're regarded by the people who they claim that they were going to liberate. But that we even need to, that we're even shocked by this at all. Oh, we're going to liberate the Vietnamese and the Afghanistani women and children that are getting married by these old geezer Taliban guys. We're, we're trying to liberate the, uh, the Iranians and the Iraqis. No, it's never been the case. We all know what this is all about. So, might as well not beat up on that dead horse.
The GCC countries, the Gulf countries are probably going to join the war. Apparently, troops have already landed in Dubai. US troops, that is. And so they're already firing high-explosives from across the Persian Gulf into Iran, which is why Iran is targeting those places. And Iran's methodology at this point in time has not been effective. Iran has basically three choices as far as I can see it. They can unleash their conventional arsenal in a way that is actually meaningful and is going to restore deterrence because at least up until this point, everything they've been doing has ceased to be a countervailing force and it has only invited more aggression. And so what they need to do is they either need to make a real statement and do something which tells the United States that they're not messing around, which they haven't really done yet. They've hit the odd data center. You know, they've scratched a desalination plant and they've done some other things. They've hit a few targets here and there, but nothing that has caused the United States to say, "Whoa, maybe we should slow down a bit here." They could do a nuclear demonstration. And quite frankly, I think if they don't do that, as I've said a month ago, I said if Iran doesn't do a nuclear strike before this war started, that's it. It's on because if they can't establish deterrence, it's over. Or, and this is what I think their strategy is, they're going to try to ride this out until oil hits $200 and they can collapse the global economy. And they feel that that's going to imperil the United States economically and politically, not just at home, but abroad. But I don't think, well, I mean, can they survive that long? Is the question. Of course, they're going to always be, even if they were able to decapitate the IRGC and start taking territories inside Iran, it is always going to be some insurgency scenario. Like there's no reality in which all of those Muslims who follow the Ayatollah and seek martyrdom now more than ever are just going to be pacified no matter what you do. So there's always going to be some element of civil unrest. And, uh, I don't think any of these proportional responses, these tit-for-tat responses are going to deter Pete Hegseth and the boys. And when I say Pete Hegseth and the boys, he too, I don't think he is, he is a Fox News anchor. Let's remember what he is. Okay? And if it seems like I'm harping on the Republicans, remember I'm pro-union. Okay? I'm, I don't like communism. I don't like fascism. They're one and the same thing. Ultimately, if you think it's bad under Trump and Hegseth, the comeuppance for all of that and the vengeance that will be sought by the other side when the pendulum swings in the other direction, it's going to be even weirder. It is going to be the most atheistic, uh, nihilistic, misanthropic, you know, just indifferent to the suffering of all of the people who are currently being used by Trump to exact the elite's will right now. Uh, there's going to be people wanting revenge, and it's going to be ugly.
And if you do believe in the two-party system, well, if you believe in that system, then that makes the possibility of an election almost non-existent because there's no way in hell you're going to get an election if these guys are doing what they're doing, and they know that they're guilty. Not only, I mean, every single thing he has done, insider trading, the Epstein stuff, war crimes, I mean, everything you could possibly imagine. Never mind impeachment. We're talking about jail time, treason. Okay? So, yeah, I just can't see another election at this point. I don't think we're going to make it. I think big shit's going to go down between now and then. And ultimately, I think the only thing anybody's going to be talking about is China. And, uh, Professor Oh, Professor, Professor Xiang. Well, Professor Xiang is not talking about China, is he? I'll leave it at that.
According to the Iranian spokesperson, he says, "In the ground operation, we will create a slaughterhouse for the Americans and instill such fear that for future generations, Americans will not volunteer to join the army." Iran's parliamentary speaker, Muhammad Galibaf, claims that around 7 million Iranians have stepped up and declared that they are ready to pick up arms to fight for Iran. Those are the besieged forces. 7 million.
In terms of what's going on with the markets, well, I don't know what's going on at the time of making this video. I'm sure the markets are closed tomorrow due to Good Friday, which means that it's going to be one hellish weekend, which is ironic, isn't it? That will be really ironic if they don't take Easter Sunday off. Christians got to be asking themselves questions about who's running the show in their name. Oil up 10%. Markets flat. To me, when you have oil going up 12% and the markets went down and then they came back up again, and it's like, what? What? I think they're going to print. I think they're going to print. Maybe it was something to do with the more slightly optimistic job numbers. Like there was a few thousand more jobs. That just seems implausible though. I think they're going to print, and I think we're going to enter a hyperinflationary cycle, and they just don't give a damn because we're at the end of the rope. I mean, if you're talking about $1.5 trillion for the military and your $40 trillion in debt, highest debt-to-GDP ratio, which is only climbing by the day, yeah, that looks like the end of their rope. Hyperinflation, especially if they decouple the petrodollar and cease to become the world's global reserve currency. Then all the debt comes back home, and, you know, never mind $5 gallons of gas, you're looking at $50 gallons of gas.
American farmers are cutting back on corn planting in 2026 due to increasing costs and worries over the Iran war. Amazon is going to be charging a 3.5% surcharge to vendors and the people who use the service to do, uh, what do they call it? Um, Fulfillment by Amazon. So they fulfill the order on your behalf. You send them stuff, and then you can sell it through their platform. Well, they're going to charge you 3.5% more because of the increase in fuel prices. Okay. And the US is set to impose 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper derivatives. Now, I'm not sure if that was something that was already in motion, but of course, copper and aluminum, both weapons of war, big time. And to me, that's pretty bullish for copper if, uh, you're into that investing stuff. But that, of course, is not financial advice. Apparently, Trump's disastrous war has completely paralyzed India's massive textile industry. So expect that clothes are going to be more expensive with 90% of their LPG imports choked off at the Strait of Hormuz, with half a million workers losing their jobs.
Guys, you know how Gerald Cente, at the beginning of our interviews that we do, we have that mashup reel, and he's in there and he's like, "It's going to be the worst economic depression ever seen in history." Well, that's potentially what we're looking at. This is it. This really is it. I mean, what more confirmation do you need? This is it. Russia is, you know, they're, they're a big wild card here. A lot of people overlook Russia because they, they're just fixated on Iran. You got to look at what's going on in Russia. It is not good. The amount of drone strikes into Russian territory lately, not good. And this stuff about the United States extricating themselves from NATO, don't believe it for a second. The goal is world domination. And you are not going to relinquish control of your most established and trusted and integrated and interoperable launchpad to project power in the, from our perspective, the Eastern Hemisphere, right? You're not going to relinquish control of that over some. No. No. It's an occupation, and the US is there not to. It's really whether the Europeans have the balls to tell the Americans to leave. It's not, you know, it seems as though the Americans are there to, to empower and secure Europe, but that's quite the opposite, and people will catch on to that eventually.
So all that said, keep on prepping because, yeah, you know, I, again, when you have the Cassandra complex like I do, and you've been forecasting these things, and you just see every single thing you've said happen, and then the idea, you see somebody else talking about it, and all of a sudden that person is Nostradamus or, yeah, they got it figured out. When you've been saying this stuff for two years, three years, four years, you almost just get numb. But I thank you all for sticking with me. And I actually consider it a blessing that our circle is more tight-knit and that this is not, this is not reaching a broader audience because I know once I cross that threshold, that means that somebody pushed a button, right? And there's an expectation that comes along when that button is pushed, and usually it's something towards the ends of, well, we're watching you, so just watch what you say. It's not a, you say this, and they give you, they hand you a script or anything like that. It's more of, you know, they're watching you after a certain level of viewership. And I had almost crossed that threshold back in 2022. I guess I was really getting close to kind of breaking out into the mainstream when some of my videos would get over 500,000 views like with regularity. And, uh, I kind of felt the pressure at that point. Right now, I don't feel that pressure, which is good. And so if it does so happen that I start getting a million views a video, I don't know if I should say this, but be suspicious. All right, guys. You take care.
