The Sean Morgan Report

Breaking History Ep 8: Breaking the Rules of Global Choke Point Control

Sean Morgan

Sean Morgan quizzes historian Matt Ehret about breaking news headlines in the context of suppressed history.

Dive headfirst into the depths of world history and geopolitics with our guest, Matthew Aira Day. Journey with us as we dissect the 78th anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing and the intriguing back-channel negotiations that set the stage for this world-changing event. Scrutinize the aftermath of WWII, the treatment of Japan, and the grip of British East India companies on global maritime choke points.

Prepare to be riveted as we unearth the system of imperialism, shedding light on the strategies that allowed the British Empire to maintain control over most of the world. Marvel at Matthew Day's expertise as he elucidates on the policies adopted by influential figures like Halford MacKinder, William Yandel Elliot, and Samuel P Huntington, and how the U.S. was manipulated within this system. We also take a critical look at military politics, examining the policy of full spectrum dominance, the U.S. containment of Russia and China, and the looming threat of nuclear war in the Pacific.

As we shift to the Arctic region's geopolitics, feel the tension rise in the race for full spectrum dominance. Matthew Day offers brilliant commentary on the consequences of aggressive military policies in the Arctic, pushing Russia and China into a dangerous alliance. As we wrap up, we delve into the impact of closed systems on creativity, the potential of the Polar Silk Road, and the exciting prospect of space exploration. We also discuss the role of media platforms in international tensions, drawing historic parallels between the U.S. Civil War and China's independence struggle. Join us for this compelling conversation to enrich your understanding of the world's past, present, and future.

Speaker 1:

Breaking history. My name is Sean Morgan. I'm the host of the Sean Morgan Report on AMP News. I'm here with Matthew Aira Day, Isn't it anniversary? Bombing in Nagasaki. Can you tell me about how you've been thinking about that?

Speaker 2:

Absolutely. Yeah, it is a very somber day. It's the 78th anniversary of a day that I think really shaped, it perverted the entire flow of world history and people I think have not quite appreciated what exactly this means. I mean the Japanese. They had a memorial for Hiroshima in Nagasaki this week. One thing of interest in it is that not a single mention was made by the president of Japan or any of the delegates, the mayor of Hiroshima, and nobody mentioned the US involvement in actually dropping the bomb onto these civilian centers towards the end of World War II, and only condemnation of the Russians were now today, threatening new nuclear war was made and repeated again and again by the various representatives of Japan. That's a very interesting irony as far as what's being left out, but also who's really controlling Japan, because I think part of this is that since World War II, people have been treating Japan as if it's a sovereign, authentic nation state, kind of like the way you hear liberal media talking heads, people talking about Ukraine as if it is a sovereign nation state somehow making its own decisions. And the same fallacy has been done already for Japan since World War II. And the reality is there's 50,000 US troops that have been stationed there continuously throughout the entirety of the Cold War. That never left after. We bombed the hell out of them, killing over 200,000 civilians. Excuse me Unnecessarily, and I was doing a little bit of research, sean and I was surprised to find out.

Speaker 2:

Well, not surprised, but I guess small s surprise, not the big s that there was actually back channel negotiations that had been underway since Franklin Roosevelt, who had died six days before the first US atomic bomb was tested in the United States before the the Remainters were dropped onto Japan. But there had been already a negotiation underway through various circles in the Vatican, through American diplomats who were bypassing the British, where the British were always trying to stir light fires, as they always do, and they were trying to get a peace negotiation with Japan to have a honorable surrender. And the Emperor actually agreed that they would surrender on the condition that they could keep their honor, not be, you know, keep the system of the imperial sort of traditions, but they would surrender lightly. There was no need to continue the war as long as it was and there was certainly no need to bomb the hell out of Japan. But it was done really as an act of, I think, reassertion of a new identity for the United States Because before that the hopes for the world, including the Russians who lost 27 million of their people fighting the Nazi war machine. Of the Chinese who had fought I mean they lost 10 million people. America did make great sacrifices but really proportionally there was 400,000 US casualties. Compared to these numbers it's another world.

Speaker 2:

But Franklin Roosevelt and the Russians and the Chinese had a very different idea of the sort of hopeful world of cooperation that could be built in, how the new discoveries of the atom that had been pioneered through the Manhattan Project could be used for the benefit of humankind, because it was recognized that energy is the primary cause. The lack of energy is the cause of poverty, of scarcity. The things that imperialists always use to get us to fight each other is lacking of abundance. So with energy you could desalinate ocean water in abundance.

Speaker 2:

With the power of the atom that could create conditions of greening the Sahara Desert, as Franklin Roosevelt outlined and was recorded by his son Elliot when he went to Africa and flew over the Sahara looking at plans for how do you take the underground water and take water from the oceans and bring it to the surface and start bringing these, rehabilitating these deserts to their natural state of being green food bearing regions, which was everybody was hoping was going to go in that direction. Instead, this technology was used instead to assert an idea of Anglo-American hegemony over the world, as a threat to Russia, a threat to China and a threat to anybody who chose to try to say well, maybe we should have cooperation instead of just being slaves for a unipolar system. Well, the nuclear bomb dropping was a serious message to that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's an interesting way that you put it, that they were asserting their new identity as the new world police, so to speak. And of course, the history is written by the victors, and the story that we're told is that the Japanese refused to capitulate and that we had no other option but to drop the bomb on them, and it's interesting to hear the alternative version about the back channel going around the British and that they already basically agreed to surrender. Now I want to make sure that you check your internet, because I don't know if it's my internet or your internet, but you were going out. It was breaking up, so I don't know if you need to check your Wi-Fi. But while you're doing that, I wanted to just talk about the old British East India companies, something you mentioned to me before. The politics harkens back to their control of these global maritime choke points, and I think that's really an interesting concept. It's probably really obvious to people who study geopolitics, but not to normal people who aren't familiar with these ideas. So take it away, matt.

Speaker 2:

Yes, absolutely yeah. This is indeed an important way of thinking about if one is trying to understand the psychology of empire and the methods and techniques of keeping us under a system of manipulation. It's important to think about the system as a system, like we live in systems, right? My body is a system. Your body is a system. It's made up of cells. The cells are made up of atoms. The cells are parts of organs. Each organ is a part of a broader. Each one has a role to play to keep our bodies moving and thriving, as they're designed to do. But each human being is both a whole, more than the sum of the parts of the system, of cells that make them up, with atoms that make us up, but that each one works together. But we could be conceptualized as well as parts, within a whole, of a family unit, of a nation, of a global body, of other human beings eight billion of us.

Speaker 2:

That's a system and the system has certain cycles to it. There are certain needs that every system needs. If I don't eat a certain amount, drink a certain amount of water, my body will seize up, my cell won't do what they need to do, right? So it's the same thing for humanity as a whole. If you have eight billion, it means that you have to produce a certain bandwidth of food production. You have to have a certain amount of water availability that cannot just be there in one location but also distributed in a way that is safe, clean and can access people can access it. But you also have to have industrial production to a certain amount in order to just not only meet your needs but also create a bit of free energy excess that could then be fed back into the system. So that means infrastructure. You need to have grids, you need to have things that allow for turning your lights on and off in your refrigerator to keep your meat cold. All of these things are needed.

Speaker 2:

But the points of production, consumption and the motion of goods, which also requires raw materials, involves certain choke points, certain things that you don't need to control as an imperialist, because, thinking about as what you just said, the British Empire for hundreds of years was a tiny little island that was able to somehow control most of the world, did they control every single individual in that world and every single minuscule area of behavior? No, they didn't need to do that because they think in terms of systems, but they do it in a way which is sick and perverse, because the systems they think in are that the systems that they want to influence are kind of like cold machines, that every human being is just the mechanical attributes of what makes us breathe, move, need energy, and every single nation is kind of like that too. There's no idea of a soul, no idea of justice, no idea of respect, dignity, harmony. None of these ideas mean anything to a radical imperialist who thinks in material terms and purely mechanics, like the same logic of a heat engine and the pistons that move. When you put in gasoline and you create fire, that causes heat, that causes the motion of the pistons. There's no soul in that. It's fine for what it is as a mechanic.

Speaker 2:

But what they do is they say well, ok, look at Africa, they have a certain amount of resources, we can use those for us. But that will then require not just extracting them and keeping them underdeveloped. You have to make sure that there's situate conditions in place, economically corruption-wise, that you cultivate in order to keep the target nation in a state of corruption scarcity, so that the abundance that they have in and under their soil is not used for their own development, as Henry Kissinger pointed out in his National Security Study, memoranda 200, which was a 1974 security study which brought the US into an even deeper state of immorality it was only declassified in 1989, which called for basically looking at those countries that had the greatest mineral and wealth abundance and figuring out how you could keep them in a state of depopulation so that they don't use what is in the strategic interests of the United States to have control of. Now did the United States necessarily want to under Kissinger and I don't mean that he's speaking for the US people, because he wanted to kill US people as much as he wanted to kill Africans but he knew that the US was the economic powerhouse after World War II and for those who he worked for, which are located far outside of the United States, deeper in London, which is the same British Empire today as it was in the 18th and 19th centuries, they knew that you had to use the United States, kind of like as a dumb giant to crush those nations that had aspirations to develop, using, let's say, models of the modernization. And he labeled Mexico and, like 10 different African countries, bangladesh, india, china was high on his thoughts that if they actually developed industrially, then we would not have access to those things we need. But did? Did they want to use those for improving the conditions of life or the industrial powers of Americans? No, at the same time as he was doing this, he was calling for well, it was his policy. Let's let's get rid of all of the factories and manufacturing from America this is what Kissinger was overseeing in the 70s and put them into slave labor Plantation zones in either South America or China, who will stay poor forever. Just do sweatshop production for dollar stores. We won't produce like we used to, we'll just consume. They will not consume, but they'll produce and the Africans will remain and big chunks of South America will remain Slave colonies for mineral extraction alone, and we'll get them to fight each other and sit in debt slavery while we do that. So this was expressing what was known as British geopolitics.

Speaker 2:

Kissinger was a student, deeply, of Halford MacKinder. He was a student of William Yandel L yeah, william Yandel Elliot, who was a Rhodes Scholar who ran the Harvard what's called the Chatham House of Harvard, where he indoctrinated and trained young boys like young Kissinger in the 50s. Samuel P Huntington also was a student. There's a few, it's a big new brzezinski, who worked closely with Kissinger in the 70s in Bringing in MacKinder MacKinder's British geopolitics into American grand strategy, for the for the most in the most virulent way. They were all students of this British theory of the science of controls of systems. So, unlike the American system, which the best American presidents like I mentioned John F Kennedy last week.

Speaker 2:

We talked a lot about his policies for creating a global system, of leaping beyond the limits of growth, cultivating Industrial activity in Africa, around the world, working in partnership with other nations for the common good, by looking for new discoveries in order to liberate ourselves from dependency upon Resources that were monopolized. I'm the best Americans, going back to the days of George Washington and people like John Quincy Adams, monroe, who put forth the Monroe Doctrine, thought in terms of systems. But the difference between the British imperial way of thinking about systems versus the American Healthy, moral way is that, once he's, a system is a closed unit to be manipulated and controlled by a master class that will control and monopolize resources and create and manage scarcity, which is always a, you know, easier to create wars, like I said earlier, when there's scarcity and famine and want, whereas the American system tries to create a climate and has made this effort in a very serious way, and you could usually find the presidents who die while in an office who are doing this as a foreign policy of Abundance. Encourage new discoveries, leaping outside of the limits of no knowledge, by encouraging new inventions that could then transform and improve the productive systems in order to sustain more people at a higher quality of life, Meaning it's revolutionary, it's flexible, but it's not liberal, because it's also based upon a preservation of Of our values, our morality, our culture, our nation state.

Speaker 2:

It's not based upon a rejection of that, which is how the lazy-minded sort of manipulators today have tried to frame the debate saying oh, you're either on the right and you're a conservative, and that means you don't like change. You look you like just conserving the values and traditions of the past with and you see change as being a threatening evil thing, or You're a liberal and you hate conservative values of the past. You just want constant progressive change and you have to pick one of the two camps. But it's like George Washington, I think we could all admit, was not a liberal, he was not an imperialist, but he was a revolutionary and he was an anti-imperialist. But it's like the America is built upon true revolutionary traditions. But it's a.

Speaker 2:

It's a healthy revolution. It's not like the black lives matter or you know the color revolutions that we've been seeing, causing such a mess, sponsored by the CIA and countries like Ukraine or Cos. There's an effort for Kazakhstan or around Georgia or anything that these are. These are fake revolutions that use Angry, disenfranchised young people and the poor in order to weaponize them, to overthrow governments you don't like, in order to topple a government. This is different. The healthy type of revolution is based upon an actual concept of principles that are moral, that you know can replace the Unlawful, immoral system that was, let's say, dominant under the British Empire.

Speaker 2:

And again going back, the British Empire, small island, control the world as a world government, both through one banking, just like today, getting everybody addicted to a form of Monetarism where they believed you could make money with money without producing anything. That was the city of London. That was their technique of creating Deregulated markets for speculation where people looked only at the money and they stopped looking at at what are you investing in in the real economy. And number two was controlling the geopolitical choke points. There was only about 10 or 12 Areas of the world when the Brit, britain was a maritime empire, right? So by getting everybody Addicted to shipping as their only way of exporting their goods or bringing in new goods, then you had the entire global maritime system along the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean. That required all shipping To maintain the global system and you didn't have to control every moment around the shipping lanes. You just needed to control the Straits of Malacca, which even to this very day represents about 30% of the world's goods which passed through this very congested choke point in the Pacific, right above Thailand and Indonesia, or the, the Cape of Good Hope around South South Africa or this. I mean there's literally about eight or nine choke points that if you can control just those areas and keep them under your control the Suez Canal or the Red Sea zone of entry into the Suez Canal Around the Babel Mandeb Strait if you could keep that area around Ethiopia or yem, today's Yemen, in a destabilized situation, or at least keep colonial dominance with control of the ports in those areas, then you can control the world.

Speaker 2:

And that was the point of Halford, halford Mackinder, who innovated this idea. But that would require that nations don't develop rail. So the only way you could break the rules of that game is to make sure that none of the nations that you want to manipulate develop inland and With. When they started developing rail, especially through the innovation of the United States experience begun by John Quincy Adams to begin the process of continental railways, to start creating a unified, harmonious nation that could, that could provide for itself. When you build a railway and this took off people were inspired by this all over the world In the 19th century and into the 20th.

Speaker 2:

All of a sudden, you're building industrial corridors because you have to figure out Well, we don't have the, the means to make the steel to the iron, the all of the other parts that go into this massive Undertaking require the development of new industrial bases. New cities have to be created, as we created them in the 19th and into the early 20th century. And then we stopped. We were told, especially with Kissinger, we don't need to build these things anymore. Or especially after World War, world War 2, it really got stupid, we were told. You know, we were told by our technocratic leaders no, no, that's the old morality. The old ethic was improving the continent and improving the world through new discoveries. No, the new morality is control, and We'll use nuclear terror, and the US monopoly of the nuclear bomb was a big assistance for this.

Speaker 2:

We're gonna keep that strategy of constant tension in place, where everybody around the world is constantly petrified of nuclear Annihilation at every moment, and then that way and then that way, it would be very easy To make sure that the people, the, the, the human rats, acted in very Predictable ways, because people who act in constant terror and fear don't, they don't act creatively, they act in a very predictable manner. So that's the, that's the benefit of keeping people in a state of constant crisis and crisis management, because they'll give up their Securities or their liberties to get security, which has always been the technique, and this is what we've done since the Patriot Act Right. That was also brought online by the followers of Zabigno Brzezinski, who were brought in line around at the time of Nixon, especially with with Gerald Ford, when Dick Cheney, donald Rumsfeld, paul Nietzsche were all brought into the US establishment and they began a new doctrine that they started pushing of. Let's get rid of what JFK and Bobby Kennedy were trying to revive, which is a spirit of helping poor nations develop industrially, and instead we're going to do what Kissinger is saying we should do, but we'll also start to promoting things like radical Mujahideen will start using taxpayer money to fund Mott, radicalizing madrasas, that that train young poor Kids in Afghanistan or in the Middle East to become terrorists. And we'll start using these groups that will arm and will train in the United States and we'll ship them back to Afghanistan as a way to start sucking in the Soviet Union Into an unwinnable quagmire.

Speaker 2:

But that became? That became al-Qaeda. That created a whole new beast that we never had to really deal with before but that continued to be seen as an asset by some of these, these agencies who really took power with George Bush Jr. They were already coming on in a different way with with Bill Clinton, but they really got virulent with George Bush Jr and his controller, dick Cheney, who brought online the idea of Patriot acts, of crisis management, rule by, by signing statements. Right, and all of a sudden it wasn't the idea of a congressional Republic that was disputing or debating. What became the policies of the US? When we, if we go to war, if we don't, do we surveil the population or not? Do we start integrating with MI6? For a five-i security apparatus or not? That that used to be the jurisdiction of the people's representatives to make those decisions. All Of a sudden, it became executive orders, executive decrees that became the shaper of the worst policies in the world.

Speaker 1:

For the next one back now we can see how that was very insidious. So the British controlled these choke points, the maritime when maritime was big, and even today, Of course, maritime is still important and the United States, since World War two, has been with their aircraft carriers Kind of securing the peace is one way to put it around these choke points. But but you China's, you know choke points. I want to talk about that. But I also want to talk about the businesses that are keeping Badlands going. We've got the Mid-Atlantic Business Alliance, and so you know they're wanting to know.

Speaker 1:

If you're self-employed and if you're shouldering hefty health insurance costs, because the cost of medical insurance can often be like a second mortgage payment. It might be tempted to cut corners, but Obamacare coverage will leave you with unlimited liability in the event of a large claim. The Metashare plans are not insurance and they can leave you responsible for other people's claims. Fortunately, there is a sensible solution. For over 30 years, David Becker of Mid-Atlantic Business Alliance has been helping self-employed individuals save money and get better insurance. If you don't have a PPO, you don't have full protection. So Mid-Atlantic Business Alliance specializes in providing top-of-the-line PPO coverage at affordable group rates. If you're paying your own medical insurance. Give David a call at 609-577-8557.

Speaker 1:

There are proven ways to substantially reduce your costs without sacrificing coverage. So I'm going to put the Mid-Atlantic Business Alliance a graphic on the screen so everyone can see how to contact David Becker. Go to his website. Give him a call at this number. So, Matt, we were talking about how the British were controlling this with a private company, the British East India Company had its own military force, and then the United States since World War II, with this aircraft carriers to this very day, controlling most of these choke points. What's going on today that has you realizing that you wanted to talk about these choke points?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, there was something very, very serious. I mean, there's been already a buildup, especially throughout the summertime, of various military exercises. In normal times there's always going to be military exercises. It's something that you'd want to do to keep your defense forces up and running, make sure everybody knows what their jobs are. But this has taken a different tone, obviously in a situation where we have both an economic collapse underway on the one hand, but also a serious policy which has been called out by the Russians, by the Chinese leadership for several years now, as an awareness that the US military industrial complex and the broader NATO apparatus that was created in the fires of the Cold War have a program of full spectrum dominance in circling them. Anybody could just look at a map and look at US military containment of Russia or of China, and literally we have a giant ballistic missile shield that's been built up especially when it began after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the work of Dick Cheney and Victoria Newland, who got this ball rolling. You could see this around Russia's perimeter to the southern part, but also around Russia's Pacific perimeter. In the Pacific, there's well over 130,000 US troops actively stationed in South Korea and Japan, increasingly in the Philippines, which has a new security military pact with the United States, they're building up four new military bases.

Speaker 2:

Taiwan $300 million of military contracts have already been signed with the Taiwanese government, which even the US State Department recognizes on their official website, is a part of an autonomous province of China, but despite that, we're bypassing mainland China to go to Taiwan in order to provide not only weapons, but to a government that was installed by the CIA back in 2015 with the Sunflower Revolution. It wasn't just in Ukraine that you had a foreign-directed, cia-funded operation around Victoria and Newland to install a puppet regime in preparation for a war with Russia, but the exact same year, the same thing was happening in Taiwan with the Sunflower Revolution that people have forgotten to think about. Still funded by the exact same agencies. That organization is now pushing a separatist movement, but also with a preparation for war with the mainland, and you have people like Biden and others coming in saying the US will and should intervene militarily into such a conflict, which would be a nuclear war.

Speaker 2:

There are many people in Taiwan, many people in Japan, who are unhappy with seeing their governments and nations being used as proxies for a nuclear war that will burn the entirety of the people of the Pacific, if it's permitted. But despite that, the actual statesmen leading these countries are very, very concerned and have spoken openly. Except in our media, the media control zone of the West, we wouldn't really know that because the messaging from Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping is just not something that we're allowed to access very readily unless we take the time to go to their websites. So, all that to say, when you have this happening, at such time you have military exercises along these various in the Pacific, or now, increasingly, what we just saw that concerned me was brought to my attention on the Washington Post. They covered last week how the US military sent out a for massive destroyers to meet Chinese and Russian warships that were moving in the Arctic somewhat, somewhat near Alaska, they say. But at the same time as they say that and you have people like Senator Dan Sullivan who said this is another reminder why we have to we've entered a new era of authoritarian aggression by the dictators of Beijing and Moscow that was his quote who was actually a very powerful figure in the Senate, who played a big role in deploying these US destroyers in a very, very provocative manner. But then, at the same time, you had the US Northern Command who had to admit. Well, yeah, the Chinese and the Russians, who do have a military security pact, it's one unit, the Russians and the Chinese military at this point, it's not two. But they had to admit, yeah, but they remained in international waters the whole time. They didn't actually invade or get anywhere close to America's economic what do you call it? The economic? There's a safe zone about 200 miles from the coast of any nation.

Speaker 2:

The irony of all this is, while the US is or I shouldn't say the US, but while these neocon freaks, including on the left, who all work together, are screaming about Chinese and Russian ships coming too close to US territorial waters, which disobeys the UN convention on the law of the sea. Or they say the same thing about how it's their right to enter the open waters in the Taiwanese straits, in China's own backyard, regularly with military ships, because it's part of the UN convention of the law of the sea. They say all these things, but at the same time, the United States is one of the few nations of the world that never signed the convention on the law of the sea. They never signed it, though most other nations did, but yet they're still trying to use that as a way to say look, russia and China are threatening us in the Arctic.

Speaker 2:

Now, the thing about the choke points I was saying earlier is that the Arctic is one of the most important but underappreciated domains of geopolitical reality that people don't know how to generally think about. But it's so important because the Arctic is the other. I mentioned Russia's southern underbelly in Eastern Europe. I mentioned also Russia's Pacific front, where you have the Pacific NATO, sometimes called the Quad, that they're trying to build. That also encircles China both Russia and China and the Pacific but I didn't mention the Arctic. That's the other frontier where there has been an ongoing push. Back in 2004, the Canadian government had a lot of pressure by Dick Cheney to start installing anti-ballistic missiles in Canada's Arctic as part of what was already being built up in Alaska to prepare for a first strike.

Speaker 2:

For people who don't know, the logic of full spectrum dominance is that the computer models that are shaping US military policy and now most of the Western military policy assert that through statistical probability scenarios that have been used. That's how they're making decisions. It's crazy. They're not thinking like humans, they're thinking like computer probability modelers. They're like well, some of the scenarios have concluded no reality here. Right that it is statistically possible to win, or at least come out dominant, by launching a first strike nuclear attack on Russia and China with limited collateral damage to NATO partners. They allow. They're like it's inevitable that there's some few millions of death at least, sure, but it's worth the loss in order to have nuclear hegemony, supremacy. And in their models they're like we can win this without realizing this is where there's been a big push to start installing a missile shield in the Arctic.

Speaker 2:

Russia, china, they've been looking at it very differently. Yes, russia is building up militarily its Arctic. When we are told about anything of the Arctic in military affairs, it's always, I've noticed, and I follow this closely always from the standpoint of look at what Russia is doing with their military systems in the Arctic. They must be preparing for an attack because that's what authoritarians want. That's right, right. What's never addressed is number one, that the initiator of the militarization of the Arctic, just like the initiator of the militarization and belligerence of full spectrum dominance, is the Anglo-American establishment which runs NATO, which began this, so forcing Russia to then respond in a reactive way. But you force them to. Number two Russia has come out on multiple occasions over the past 16 years, with Putin directly offering the West a chance to participate in Arctic economic development, where some of the most abundant resources never explored even are located in the Arctic. Russia is much more advanced on that than we are, but despite that, that is a domain where we could really work together and find common interests.

Speaker 2:

Donald Trump was promoting that in October of 2020, right before the coup in the United States, where he signed an executive decree not to go to war like Obama or Biden or Bush before that, but an executive decree to support federally the building of the Alaska Alberta and the United States rail line that would connect Alaska through rail to the lower 48 states and the Yukon as part of a program of cooperation that people can read all about this. Just Google Alaska Alaska Alberta rail corridor. Google that, donald Trump, and that was where that was a real, a peace offering and a fight to really reestablish a sane American foreign policy that was based that was based upon an idea of Building new cities, building all of these things because Russia has made it their priority To build up what Putin is called the Far East and Arctic development strategy. There is increasingly An opening up of the northern sea route, that's, russia has something like 8,000 miles of coastline in the Arctic that is now opening up for increased shipping. China has just sent their first nuclear powered icebreaker. China has created three nuclear icebreakers. Canada has zero. The USA, an Arctic state, has zero.

Speaker 2:

We're talking about kicking out Russia, who has something like 50 nuclear powered Arctic icebreakers, kicking them out of the Arctic Council, where last year they were the chair of the Arctic Council.

Speaker 2:

Nobody would even talk to them because Ukraine and and so we're actually talking about seriously, right now we're on the verge of kicking out Russia completely, forcing Russia and China into a new pact. There. China has opened up the door to what's called the polar silk road. There's the Belt and Road initiative called the, the new Silk Road, the revival of the old, 2000 year old trade corridors that used to animate economic and cultural activity Interfacing East and West in the Han dynasty of 2000 plus years ago. That's been revived in the form of the, the new Silk Road, with which has, you know, a land-based component of three primary rail lines connecting different parts of China all the way to Europe, through the Middle East, through Central Asia, down into Africa, even where there's connecting connecting lines being developed that would extend through Yemen into Djibouti in Ethiopia. Big reason why there's if anybody wants to know why there's so much foreign destabilizers Trying to light fires in Ethiopia or in Yemen, you have to look at this policy that's been underway now for over 13 years.

Speaker 1:

I Never knew that the the Arctic was so important strategically. It just seems so mysterious and you don't. You don't get a lot of news about it. But you're right, the news we do get is about the Russians Controlling it. And same thing went the news about the Pacific, about the Chinese dominance there. So I guess there is a lot of propaganda. There might the truth. To talk a little bit more about the Badlands Sponsors.

Speaker 1:

So we got bootleg products, a family owned and run business on a mission to bring the heart and soul of America right to your dinner table.

You get a risk for Free bottle code Badlands.

Speaker 1:

I'm gonna throw the graphic on the screen so you guys can make sure you've got that right. My mother actually really liked their the products. It was shipped to her house and she tried. One of them was actually Super, super spicy, so you can choose your own level of spiciness, but all kinds of options there and, matt, you were cutting out for me every about every minute, so I don't know if you've got a, if it's my internet or your internet, do you know if you chose the right network?

Speaker 2:

Unfortunately, everything. I did my little search and I. Everything is the way it should be. However, that being said, it has happened Again and now and again where I get unreliable internet. I live so somewhat in farm country, so this just might be one of the bad days where the satellites I'm relying upon might just be at a bad part of the the skies. And I know what satellite story for the audience. Your minds are getting a little bit too disrupted by my causes.

Speaker 1:

All right Well.

Speaker 2:

I was able to keep following you.

Speaker 1:

You just kind of cut out every couple of minutes there. So we covered bootleg and also flying gang rum. This is a really cool rum company, patreon, a company, a true reflection of American tenacity and spirit. What sets this rum apart it's the meticulously produced from pure Florida sugar cane, aged to perfection, ex bourbon barrels, then select cask, finished. It's a rum so pure it comes with no added sugar or colors or artificial flavorings. So pure rum. You can go to.

Speaker 1:

Flying gang rum. It's on a mission to change how we perceive sipping rum to Florida. It's what wine is to Napa, bourbon to Kentucky and whiskey to Tennessee. So I know that Florida is really becoming a patriot epicenter and so you got to get To know the culture there in Florida if you're living there. Now this iconic rum is all about elevating the common source experience, capturing the rich history and unique character of handcrafted rum. So let's see here, go to flying gang comm backslash Shop rum promo code badlands for free shipping over a hundred. So I'm gonna put that graphic on the screen. You guys can go to flying gang comm slash shop rum promo code badlands. So, matt, you know last time that we talked to one of the other episodes you brought to my attention how Russia and China Exploring the moon, and there's a whole bunch of pieces.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, could you repeat that? I heard Russia and China exploring the moon, then yeah.

Speaker 1:

They have a helium helium three. Is that correct?

Speaker 2:

on the yeah that's we're talking about, like how do you lawfully break the rules of the great game there? There's See, the thing about fixed systems, clothes. Assuming that the world is a closed system Presumes no creativity allowed. It means that people have to just simply adapt to what exists, like, like some, in some Darwinian struggle of the the fittest in a world of Diminishing returns, right. But in such a world, the idea of actual, authentic Creativity, not just like the creativity that goes into modern art museum or an ad campaign, which is like a perverse creativity, but authentic creativity is of the order that brings human, the human mind, into greater harmony with God's creation, and so that's not permitted. But that that is everything.

Speaker 2:

So the idea of opening up the Arctic for, for Development, for for the things like the Polar Silk Road, as a, as a domain of peace, where you could cut off the time it takes to ship goods from Rotterdam to China by 10 days it's a huge savings of time, and Russia is gonna increase that by a fact by a factor of 80 Within five years. That's a huge zone that we could benefit from immensely. That's one way of breaking the rules, because all of a sudden you're opening up the door, you're, you're, you're getting rid of the, the congestion of the controlled zones, of the choke points elsewhere in the world. But another way is to qualitatively completely just transform the idea of humanity just being stuck on the surface of the earth, but rather now introducing a new dimension of Action, and that idea of what Russia and China put forth with there it's not just on on economic or on security cooperation, but it's also on space cooperation that they have signed very, very deep mutual cooperation tracks on and the idea of developing a permanent lunar base, which is what JFK originally intended and wanted when he originally called for a cooperative policy with the Russians and other nations Wishing to leap beyond the limits to growth.

Speaker 2:

He originally had the idea of not just, sort of like, going to the moon playing golf and never going. The idea was to extend human being and tie, tie our destiny to the universe, to the ever, the ever the universe, that which which we can always discover more about. And the idea was to Actually have permanent scientific Um bases on the moon as a platform for deeper, deep space exploration. That didn't happen. It was all sabotaged by the takeover of these Malthusians who took over with the trilateral Commission of Kissinger and those in the 70s that we've already talked about the way you describe, the way you describe a closed system and how we just are forced to adapt it.

Speaker 1:

It just reminds me of this could have been subjected to. They've just been trying to brainwash us that hey, planets dying, the sun's gonna kill us all and we don't have enough resources. So everybody, you know, stop eating meat and stop driving gasoline cars and stop having so much freedom and just live with less. Live with less. You know, it's so prevalent and it started when we were kids that a lot of times we don't recognize the Psiop, unless, of course, you're a bad lancer.

Speaker 1:

Someone who watches Bad Lan this is someone was in the alternative media talking about how this is all a hoax and all Psiop. But yeah, so the reason why I brought up the moon and the helium there, that's something that I never knew about, I never considered. And now that you're talking about the polar silk road and the polar development and this kind of way of circumventing the control that the Anglo-Americans have over the rest of the choke points, this we can't ignore. And when we start seeing headlines related to the moon or related to the polar geopolitics, now we can kind of take this education, this quick education you've given us and remember how important those things are with global geopolitics.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because, again, the idea is to always keep people stuck in the way that they were doing things in the past. If we were on coal and oil, well, you wanna make sure that you monopolize such resources with private cartels that are integrated with the Bilderberger group, like Shell, dutch oil and whatever else, and at that point you can then manipulate the different actors who need the oil that is now diminishing or the coal, in order to induce tension and fighting, so that you can create constant divide to conquer around things like scarcity. So that's one of the basic facts of empire, going back to the days of ancient Pharaoh, except it wasn't coal or oil Back then. It was probably trees and the lack of timber that you could induce adjacent nations and peoples to fight, but it's always something like that. So when you introduce an idea like nuclear power, and especially next generation nuclear power, thorium power or what really has been sabotaged but this is the key is fusion energy, the actual harnessing of the atom in such a manner that we don't have to just because so far fusion has been done, people are like, oh, there's never been fusion done. It's always 30 years away. It's like, yeah, we've done it already, it's just that it was for bombs.

Speaker 2:

The hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb because it takes hydrogen, a light atom, fuses it right A deuterium, tritium or helium. There's a few different ways to go about doing it. It can fuse where the sum total of what it fused into as a heavier atom has less mass than the sum total of the two that fuse together. So what happened to that missing mass? Well, that became energy, a lot of energy, so much energy, like what Jesus said. You know, with this mustard seed you can move mountains. I mean, he didn't know about fusion, but there's something true about that. Maybe he did.

Speaker 2:

Maybe he did, you know. But the point being is like that is it totally. You can do so much destruction with that level of power, which is why power and responsibility go together. But if you have morality intact in a culture that has such power, the amount of good that you can do is unimaginably good and inspiring. And I mentioned a few things about greening the deserts of the world by making water, which they're trying to set us up for water wars too, you know. But you could get rid of that by making water massively abundant through nuclear power, desalination and other things.

Speaker 2:

The moon is full of water, I mean. That's why Russia is planning on landing on the poles of the moon, on the South Pole, which is where there's never the sun that catches big chunks of the craters in the South Pole. And they've found that India launched a monitoring rocket that had spectrometry devices on it A few years ago and found that there was an abundance of ice water built up on the moon which could be used for a variety of industrial or other purposes to sustain astronauts or scientists who are doing experiments or just you know other things that you would otherwise need. Water is very important, but on the far side, I know, the other week I said the dark side of the moon. I shouldn't say that, because the far side receives sunlight. It's just that we only see it. We never see it on earth because the way the earth and the moon related are, we only see the front side of the moon and it spins kind of like that, with the same face pointed at us, whereas there's a different type of rotational process on the earth. So we don't see it, but like the far side. But that's where the Chinese have had landed at some years ago and the plan there is to build up with the Russians a mining process. But that requires now all of a sudden the idea that one truckload of helium-3 can sustain the needs of humanity today, with eight billion people living at a very high standard for over a year. That's one truckload.

Speaker 2:

Imagine how there's millions of tons of this stuff built up and accumulated, because there's no magnetic field on the moon. So there's been an accumulation and we know this by the lunar soil that has been brought back. Since the 70s. People have been able to explore this and discover that there's a totally different atomic composition. You could see the type of minerals that are built up in there that are not located anywhere on the earth, because the earth, our magnetic field, prevents a lot of these things from entering from the cosmos.

Speaker 2:

We have supernova, the crab nebula Every star is constantly. It's like every star is a sun. Every sun is a reactor pumping out and creating and distributing a variety of isotopes from the periodic table into the cosmos that finds sometimes homes within orbital pathways that then accumulate and interface with living material. So this is stuff that we can use as human beings. Other animals don't do that Humans do, and the fact that we do it in a manner which can allow us to have more of our people living at a higher quality of life demonstrates that all of those who want to model us like a computer or some Darwinian animal are wrong, that we are something much more than just the sum total of our parts.

Speaker 1:

I really like how you said earlier, how the people who are challenging the hegemony of the Anglo-American, the rules of the game, and so maybe a different energy source or a different route for trade and so forth, and it makes me think about how, even if they were able to do that, they would need a way of communicating with all of humanity about it. So information is so important and the platforms for disseminating information, and I'm thinking about how TikTok has gotten big. So we have a Chinese, and Zoom is another example, but a Chinese information social media company that Americans use every day, and so I don't know if there's a Russian example. I guess Yandex is a decent search engine, but they've got VK, they've got an internal social media. But I'm talking about is there a way for the nation states, maybe the BRICS, who are challenging this hegemony, to really communicate with the West and circumvent the Western rulers and elite and talk directly with the people? I'll get your answer on that, but I'm gonna talk about our last sponsor, benson Honey Farms. So they've got from a small town in Nebraska.

Speaker 1:

Benson Honey Farms brings you all this authentic, unpasteurized, 100% natural honey, a product of diligent bees working in the fields of wildflowers. It's as raw and robust as the spirit of badlands, so let's not forget the added smokey sauce. Tangy yet sweet, with their very own honey, it's the flavor of a heartland cookout, ready for your grill. Craving something sweet? There's honey infused candies that capture the essence of Nebraska. Each bite a delightful taste of home. And Benson Honey Farms extends its heartland hospitality with an exclusive offer.

Speaker 1:

When you head over to BensonHoneyFarmscom, use the rep code badlands. It's your key to a taste of Nebraska, so go to. Yeah, I'm gonna put the graphic on the screen. Benson Honey Farms. Use the rep code badlands. We got eight minutes left in the show, matt. You can continue your thoughts, or the main theme of today was the choke points that the British used, and now we've got these, these, the bricks, possibly breaking the rules of the game and I was talking about the information how important that is to be able to circumvent the controllers and go directly to the people of the West and communicate these really very hopeful and cooperative ideas. Any thoughts on that?

Speaker 2:

Oh man, it's a good question. I wish I had a more satisfying answer. I know that Russia has done a much better job than other countries on that other side of the new iron curtain as far as communicating to a Western audience by the development of high quality of really I mean it's their mainstream. Today it would qualify as like Western alternative media, because they talk about things in their mainstream that in the West is only allowed to be discussed in polite society, in the alternative media. But RT, russia Today, sputnik News these are very well done platforms with high quality content where they've been able to really bring also very, very professional reporting as part of their counter communications to basically disprove a lot of the or to provide a voice to them, to that people can go to to see.

Speaker 2:

Is it true what we're being told by our mainstream CNN mockingbird media? China, I find, has been weaker on that. They have a lot more to. They should be learning more from Russia's methods. As far as generating platforms that could really appeal to and speak to the heart and mind of a Western audience, they're not as good, it's a bit more stiff. You generally have to go all the way to CGTN, their website or YouTube channels and you'll find good quality material, but they're not good at counteracting a lot of the lies that are constantly just being weaved up by creative writing teams in the CIA and fed to us. They're not as good as counteracting that as the Russians are.

Speaker 1:

But I want to put it to you Do you think their censorship levels have changed drastically and that this is a viable platform for international discussion of these topics?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sure, sure, it's just you can't. The thing with China they've had to deal with the fact that there's a buildup of a fifth column of the deep state with high level national endowment for democracy, cia, george Soros, open society operations that were built up in the 80s. Though they kicked out George Soros in 89, there was still a lot of front groups set up, masquerading as human rights organizations or media freedom organizations in the thousands. I mean it's crazy how much effort was put into maintaining these things, some often through cardboard cutouts that are designed with the intent of creating civil war and strife within China to break them up. That's a form of the warfare underway. So their low tolerance policy for what we would call like sort of the right of everybody to say whatever they want is low because they're under an ongoing war to destroy them. That's part of life and the fact that here, like we celebrate that we have such great high tolerance for freedom of expression, but try to say something about the election Trans people. That's quite a popular question.

Speaker 1:

Was that it? I said try to say something about trans people.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, I mean there's a million ways from Sunday that you'll get shut down for just saying the wrong, politically incorrect word or see your career destroyed. Say a prayer at a Catholic school in honor of the family when in reality you should be worshiping some sort of trans ritual and you could fight your parents without jobs very quickly, which has happened to this very courageous kid in Ontario. But so I mean we have to really just take a moment back sometimes and take stock of the fact that we have an oligarchy that wants to kill us all and get rid of all nation states and civilizations, to bring global feudalism into play. And you have nations trying some that are going along with it unfortunately, canada, the USA under the current administrations, are going along with it and then you have countries that are actually trying to fight it. China is trying to fight it, which is why the American population feels so badly about China. They don't like China. Right now. Is it all time historic lows, even worse than the Cold War? Because the left, the right, everybody can agree on the fact that China is evil in varying ways and different messaging has been like, created and sold to different profiles of the population, whether you identify as a liberal or a conservative. You've been fed a different story that appeals to your prejudices to get you to agree to the same thing, which is that, ultimately, maybe a nuclear war with China to save Taiwan you know, who just wants independence is maybe a good thing.

Speaker 2:

And the irony is that this is exactly what the US had to suffer from in the 1860s, when the British were out there trying to light fires and promote separatism in the United States during a time when that wasn't. I mean, obviously there's times when this might be needed and sometimes not. But in the case of the 19th century and I'm not saying I'm for saving the constitution, but that was the British Empire cultivating the US Civil War and trying to recognize the South as an independent nation in order to back them up militarily against Lincoln as part of the undoing of 1776. That was a British free, masonic operation from the get go.

Speaker 2:

I wrote about this and I wrote a whole book on this. I also did my wife. That's the same thing that America is now doing to these other countries, not realizing that this is what it suffered from. But so liberals and conservatives are all agreeing somehow that we should do this, and I think there was like 50% of American surveyed between the age of 20 and 35 saying that yeah, we should go in militarily at war with China if it comes to saving Taiwan. It's like what the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 1:

For some reason, that's a really important thing for Americans to sacrifice over. But you know what's kind of a good development is that this is not just about China. The BRICS plus is half of humanity and it's growing. Every day there's more countries joining BRICS, so this is not just an America versus China thing. This is really playing out into access versus allies. Matt, we've run out of time. Where can people go to learn about your foundation?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, canadianpatreorg or risingtidefoundationnet or my sub stacks. Just type in my name and pick up the books, the videos. I'm still sorry for the technical disturbances today. Hopefully by next week we'll figure out how to resolve that.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, matt, really appreciate it. God bless everybody.

Speaker 2:

See you next time.
