WW3 Expert: This Could Trigger Global Starvation

In 2024, you made three predictions that have come perfectly true. Like Trump would start a war with Iran. And you've made a series of new predictions. Yes, and I'll explain each prediction one by one. Okay, so first, I predict that but we'll get a third term. But isn't this constitution illegal? It's not. The president now has emergency war powers. And so he can actually delay the election. My second prediction is, Iran is another forever war and the United States will institute a national draft, meaning that you're between 18 and 24 in America and your mail. You'll be unlikely to put into the draft system. And they just pass a law that says that starting December, you will be unlikely to register, which means you'll be obliged to go and fight. Exactly. Next, the world will move towards an AI surveillance state. So if you do online, it's being recorded to figure out how to control you. And then this is most controversial prediction. This is pretty bad. And I'll explain why. And also, I will tell you why it's working only lead to a war three. Why? There's a very strong possibility that the American Empire will collapse. And also, I'll show you what the Russians will do and how the private bankers are controlling you. I'm not owned by anybody. That's what you think. So let's talk about that.

I would be hugely grateful if you could take a minute on the app you're listening to this one right now and hit that follow button. Thank you so, so, so much. Professor Dianne. There's so much going on in the world at the moment that it's quite confusing for an ordinary person like me and you've blown up across the internet because you've been able to demystify all of this craziness. But also, because in 2024, you made three predictions that have come perfectly true. Some might say, unfortunately. Unfortunately, yes. What were those three predictions? My first prediction was that Trump would win in November, 2024. Second prediction is that he would start a war against Iran. And the third prediction is that the United States would lose this war and then lose this war. This would radically reshape the geopolitical landscape. How did you know that Trump would start a war with Iran? The simple answer is this. The United States have invented Iran because it has no choice in the matter. If it were not to invade Iran, it would lose its empire. Its empire is based purely on the US dollar, the petrodollar, which is a Ponzi scheme. If it did not invade Iran, then people would choose not to trade with it anymore. People would choose to not buy US treasuries. Why? For the longest time, this system worked fine. But then, in February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Yeah. That was not the issue. The issue was the American response. The American response was to sanction Russia and remove Russia from the swift global payment system. It also ordered Europeans to freeze over $200 billion in Russian assets. And this is a problem. This is a very basis for having the US dollar as the global reserve currency is that it would remain politically neutral. It, it, the Americans guaranteed seamless, completely neutral in an national exchange. So if this trend continues, right? If you don't know anything about Russia, Russia would take over Ukraine. And Russia then would build alliance with China and Iran. If you look at these three countries on the map, Russia, China, and Iran, this is the entire Asian continent. And then what they can do is this. They can say, okay, the United States is a bully. They forced us to play by the rules. They get very angry if we don't play by the rules. So let's not play with the United States anymore. Let's just trade amongst ourselves. And then what they can do is they can build a Eurasian railway system, connecting Russia, Iran, and China together. And then what this would do is negate American sea power because it's American ships that patrol and protect the oceans. And then what happened is the world, Europe, Middle East, Africa, India, East Asia, would look at the Sweden block and think themselves, wow, these guys, the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese, they use gold as their medium of exchange. Gold is valuable. The Americans, on the other hand, use yours dollars as the medium of exchange, which is not valuable. So am I better off with the American system, with this new brick system? What's bricks? It's an acronym. It stands for Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, China. So I'm already thinking because Iran, Russia, and China were colluding. It threatened U.S. dominance, which is driven by the world using the dollar as the primary currency for trading. That's correct. Okay. So they felt they needed to invade because then they can control more of the Middle East. Right. So by attacking Iran, something's happened. The first thing that happened is that China is outcut off from Middle East energy. China receives anywhere between 50 to 6% of its energy needs from the Middle East. Not just Iran, but also Qatar and Saudi Arabia. A lot of people say that China today, it's reliant on renewables, solar, wind, and that's true to a certain extent. Remember that China, it is an industrial powerhouse. So it needs energy from everywhere and everyone. So the fact that China is losing all this energy from the Middle East presents China with a long-term strategic vulnerability. That's the first thing that happens. So the thing that happens is that Europe is not a trouble, because of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian energy was sanctioned. And so we light more on the Middle East for its energy needs, especially Qatar. Now, your personal loss, all of this oil. And then you have Japan and South Korea, these two powerful East Asian economies are also reliant on the Middle East for its energy. So another question is, if you're not getting your energy from the Middle East, where can you get your energy from? And there's only two answers. Either Russia or the United States. Russia is at war. And what's happening is the Ukrainian drones are attacking Russian oil refineries and export hubs. So the world in the short term has no choice but to look to America for its energy needs. And what did Trump do recently? He took over Venezuela, which has the world's greatest oil reserves. He's threatening Canada, he's threatening Greenland, Mexico, Colombia. If Trump controls the entire Western hemisphere, the entire world has to beg Trump for energy and resources and it saves both the US dollar as well as American empire. So as part of your prediction in 2024, I believe it was, you said that the US would lose this war. Right. Why did you predict that the US will lose this war with Iran? Because the American society does not have the political will, does not have the manufacturer capacity, does not have the risk tolerance to fight this war in Iran. Basically America wants to fight this war as cheaply, as easily and as quickly as possible. Right. So Trump really fought that. You know, if I sent my airplanes to strike Iran and kill the Atatola, they would just surrender. There was literally his plan going into this war. He paid no attention to the culture. He paid no attention to the history of the Iranian people. He had up to no respect for the nation. And when you do that, when you disrespect your opponent, when you underestimate your opponent, when you yourself are not willing to commit to the fight, you're going to lose. So Iran's game just to draw this out as long as they possibly can. How they, you know, because he's taken out the leaders. And then you also think that Trump thought that just, if I've just bombed the leader, then everything will sort of regenerate itself and will be fine. What was the sort of fundamental misunderstanding? There's a lot of confusion as to how this war started. Even today, no one actually knows how this war started. But I think that Trump given his personality. He was convinced that if he killed the leadership of Iran, then they would have no choice but to surrender. And his proof of concept was, of course, on during the third of this year, Donald Force went into Venezuela, kidnapped Maduro, and this completely surrendered. So in total's mind, he went to replay the Venezuela scenario. And he didn't realize that Iran is fundamentally different from Venezuela. The short answer is, he is a reality B star. He thinks in terms of optics. He doesn't think thick in terms of geopolitical strategy. But long answer is that the American military has become a corrupt and insular institution that is trying to generate as much commercial funding as possible in order to fund the military industrial complex. Did he think that he was gonna bomb Iran? The people would rise up. They would elect a new government and that would be that. And then he could control Iran. That's exactly what he thought. So what I want to do now is go to the map, all right? Show you what he got wrong. All right, so this is a map of the Middle East. And the first thing to notice about this map is the topography. What does that mean? How many mountains you have? So what's really interesting is that the topography between Iraq and Iran are completely different. And this is important because in 2003, the Americans invaded Iraq and they won the war in about two weeks. And the reason why they won the war is the Americans practice something called stock and all. The idea of stock and all is that it is a military strategy that believes that if you cut off the head of the snake, the snake will die, the decapitation strike. And so what they did was they went into Baghdad, seized Baghdad and the regime collapsed and the war was over. And they were able to do this because of the topography. If you look at the map of Iraq, it's all flat, it's all desert. Meaning that you can just fly in your planes, cut off the head of the snake and the war is over. There's actually no way you can defend against air strikes because you're entirely a desert. Now, let's go to listen to topography of Iran. And Iran is all mountainous. In fact, you can make the argument that Iran is a fortress. And so the first thing is that Iran can choose to fight a war of attrition. What's a war of attrition? A war of attrition is a game of uncle. What's that? A game of uncle is where we don't have enough power to destroy each other. So what we're trying to do is we try to create pain points, leverage points to force you to submit to cry uncle. So because Iran is too large and that's 92 million people, it's impossible for the Americans and it's really to destroy Iran. So what you're trying to do instead is bomb enough targets so that they recognize that resistance is futile and it's surrender. That's the extent of the strategy. But again, the problem with this is that one, Iran is much too big. Number two is that it is a mountain fortress which means that you can hide your weapons and your military inside mountains, right? Which allows you to conduct a guerrilla warfare strategy against your opponent. And this is exactly what Iran is doing right now where their underground missile bases are hidden inside the mountains and then they're able to strike target throughout the Middle East, primarily American bases but also energy installations that are key to the American petrodollar system. And so it's again uncle, where the Americans are trying to create as much damage as possible in a nation and the Iranian response is trying to destroy as much of the global economy as possible to force the world to push America to call the war off. So that's a situation we are facing right now. Second thing that Trump got wrong is how vulnerable the global economy is because the Iranians can trust something called the Shreve who moves. And as you can see on this map, as you should who moves, it's a very, very narrow piece of land. It's only about 33 kilometers across. You can actually swim across the Shreve who moves. And what this is important is that you see that exports 20% of the world's energy. The G's, did you want? The Gulf Cooperative Council. So the Gulf Cooper Council are certain nations in the Middle East that align politically. So they include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Iran, Kuwait. They've been exporting energy, but not just energy, but also a lot of byproducts of energy production including fertilizer to the world, primarily East Asia and India. When we turn, they've been getting food back. So most people don't appreciate this, but the GCC actually imports 89% of its food needs. The reason why is that they become so rich these past few decades that the populations have blown up. And as a result, they have to feed their population, but they don't have agricultural resources. They also don't have water resources. And so they have two major vulnerabilities, which is food and water. And they have a lot of these salination plants around the area. And so. It's a dissimilation plant. Okay. So a dissimilation plant takes salt water from the seas and then food and electrical chemical process turns it into portable water that people can use for drinking purposes and for agricultural purposes. Again, right? So as you can see, the entire area, it is extremely vulnerable to drone and missile attacks from Iran. So that's the second thing that Iran has done which Trump did not expect. He didn't expect that the Iranians would close off the straight off removes. And how the Iranians were going to close off the shoulder who moves was just by threatening to attack any ships that wanted to cross it. The reason why is that these ships depend on maritime insurance in order to operate. But it is a risk, a very high risk of being destroyed then you will not need to get insurance. Okay. Not that the Iranians have said to the ships you can't cross. It's just that the insurers refused to allow these ships to cross because it's too dangerous. And Trump didn't, you think they'd consider this before they started bombing Iran that Iran would have some leverage in shutting down such a critical piece of water for, you know, shipping fertilizer, energy, et cetera. You think that they would have known this? Right. So that's a lot of people say that Trump's stupid, that Trump is hot-headed, that he was misled by the Israelis. And there's good evidence to support this. But I wanna show you something, okay? It's called the National Defense Strategy, all right? And so this is a document that was published by the Department of War and it explains what the American strategy to maintain global dominance is. And in the introduction, what it says is that for too long America has been bullied by the world. America is a nation that protects the world yet Europe is Asia, takes advantage of American generosity. The Europeans don't pay for their defense and so they put all this money into welfare, into their pension system. The Chinese have been giving America a bad trade deal, the Chinese deal American technology and then use it to make products that they sell back to the Americans. So the Americans have been getting a really bad deal for decades. And President Donald Trump, he's gonna change that by doing four things, all right? The National Defense Strategy calls for a four point program to put America first. The first thing that America is gonna do is gonna secure the Western hemisphere. Why, what's the hemisphere belongs to the United States? When you say the Western hemisphere, what do you mean, what region is that? Is that a computer as well? So if you look at the map, we can divide, we can divide the map into the Eastern hemisphere and the Western hemisphere. Okay, so everything over here. Everything, including Greenland, including Canada, including Mexico, every part of this area belongs to the United States. Therefore, you cannot trade with any of these countries without American permission about paying a tribute to the Americans. And this is why that the Americans have parked one-third of the naval assets in the Caribbean today. If you tell the Chinese in the Russians, back off. You're gonna come here, you either pay a tribute or you'll be attacked. Okay, that's the first point of this strategy. The Western hemisphere belongs to America, something that they call the Don Roll Doctrine. Okay, which is Trump's corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. And so that's point one. Point two is that America wants to reimagine its relationship with its allies. Basically, NATO needs to pay for its own defense. NATO needs to go fight Russia in Ukraine. America will provide support, it'll provide weapons and financing, but NATO needs to do more work. And in these Asia, South Korea and Japan need to do better job of keeping China in check. Okay, that's point two. Point three is specific to China. And the idea is the United States does not want to destroy China. The United States does not want to humiliate China, but China needs to be put in its place. China needs to respect the power and the reach of the United States. And how the United States is gonna do this is by strangling China economically, right? So if you look at the map of China, most of its trade goes to something called the sort of Malacca. And the sort of Malacca is the most important maritime choke point in the world. All America has to do is park naval carriers inside the sort of Malacca and China will lose 90% of its energy exports. But if they palk, then China would still go through, no? No, because you have to go for the straight sort of Malacca. So America has to be called a first island chain, okay? The first island chain prevents China from reaching the Pacific Ocean. The first island chain includes South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Malaysia. That blocks China from reaching out into Pacific. So in order for it to access trade, it has to go through the sort of Malacca. And through the sort of Malacca, it can access India, Africa, and the Middle East, right? And so by positioning naval carriers inside the sort of Malacca, it creates a blockade. And China would have to pick a toll in order to access the sort of Malacca. And the fourth one? And the fourth one is to rejuvenate, re-invigorate America's defense manufacturing sector. So it's supercharged the US defense and industrial base. That's exactly correct, yes. All right? So what this means is that the Pentagon, a few weeks ago, went to Detroit and talked to Ford and Jordan Motors and said, you know what, because of this one around, we might need you to stop making cars and start making more munitions. How do you know they said that? It's... They published it. They published it, yes. Really? Yes. So the United States went to Forbes and GM and said, we might need you to start making weapons with your factories. Yes, and they're happy doing this because the power margins are much greater for weapons than for cars. This is a Pentagon. So you can charge them as much as you want and they'll pay for it. Whereas you make cars, it's for the consumer market and they may not buy your cars, right? So you're like Ford or Jordan Motors, the best deal in the world is to go make weapons for the Pentagon to fight these wars in the US that couldn't go on forever. So we're in a situation where, okay, look, if you read the news, if you talk to a lot of people, Trump's an idiot. And this war in Iran makes no sense at all. But then you can just read the National Defense Strategy that is on the Department of War website and we can go there and download it for free and read it themselves. It's a very clear roadmap of what America needs to do in order to maintain imperial hegemony. And so let's summarize the major points. The first major point is to maintain control of the Western hemisphere and create a fortress America. Which is why he invaded Venezuela and he says he's gonna invade Cuba. Exactly. And also Greenland. Look at all the countries that he's named over the past year. Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, Columbia, Nicaragua, Honduras. It's all the Western hemisphere, right? And they're all together. The second point is to create divided in war or around the world. So imagine a situation where in Europe, NATO fights Russia in Ukraine. In East Asia, China fights South Korea and Japan. In the Middle East, Iran fights the GCC aligned with Israel. What does America do? America can now sell everyone weapons and resources and finance it. This would be back to World War II. But it makes them weaker as well, generally. That's a point. Yeah, right? And then what would happen is that $4,200, that America has in debt would disappear because it would be absorbed by the world, right? So you can say, look, Trump's an idiot, but if you actually look at a map and how America wants this world map to play out, it makes perfect sense. Hmm. So the war is going well for Trump. The war's going very well for Trump. Really? Yes. But you said in your prediction that he would lose the war. Right. What's your definition of lose the war? Loose the war means that America would send ground troops, Iran would survive this ground invasion. And this would be so politically damaging that chaos brings out the United States. And the US ground invasion is forced to retreat. And the United States is forced to retreat from the Middle East. And you still think that's going to happen? I still think that's going to happen. So you think the United States is going to put ground troops in, Iran is going to resist, and then chaos is going to break out in the United States. Yes. So let me explain to you why ground troops has to be set. All right. OK. So in phase one of this war, which starts February 28th, which lasted for about six weeks, the intention was to decapitate the regime. And you do that by starting to run. And you do that by striking the military bases in installations throughout Iran. It's what the Americans call sharp and all. And the point is to force their aims to call uncle. But that's what happened to give up, basically. Because what the Iranians did was they responded by attacking US bases for out the GCC. They close off a straight off for moves. And they rallied their people, OK? So rather than surrender, the Iranians basically double down. OK, that's phase two of the war. Now we've gone to phase three of the war, where Trump has basically decided that decapitation does not work. And so what Trump should do is he's going to impose a naval blockade on Iran's naval blockade, right? And so the question then is, if Trump understands that decapitation does not work, then using game theory, what's game theory? Game theory is to believe that all of the world, it's governed by rules and incentives. And what you understand the rules and incentives, you can predict how people behave. These people will always behave according to their best interests. So in geopolitics, the nation states are individual players. And each nation state is trying to use its resources and its advantages in order to pressure other nation states to obey it, OK? So Trump recognizes that the Iranians have closed off the circle of moves, but not only that, but the Iranians will also use the circle of moves to finance the war, meaning that now they're forcing ships to pay a toll about $2 million in order to cross it. And so this is a huge advantage for Iranians. And so Trump has said, no, I'm going to block your blockade negating Iran's advantage of the circle moves. So we think about it, again, using game theory, I want to discuss what the Americans will do in order to force the Iranians to capitulate, OK? So I would say there's a three point strategy. The first strategy is economic triangulation. You basically destroy the state's capacity to finance the war. And there are two ways that Iran is financing the war so far. The first is using board exports, right? 9% of Iran's oil goes to China. And this is Carg Island. This is this little spot here. It's Carg Island. And this is where Iran will export 90% of its oil overseas. That's the first mechanism. Second mechanism mechanism is the circle moves, where the Iranians now can collect tolls, right? So what you have to do is you have to eliminate both of these finance mechanisms. You can close off both when they're blocking, OK? So that's strategy one. Strategy two is you need to create as much chaos within Iran as possible. You want to turn this fortress into a prison. Now, the way you do that is by storing up ethnic tensions in the country. So if you look at a map, an ethnic map of Iran, what you'll discover is that the Persian people are primarily in this area, in the middle of the country. But you go to the borderlands, OK? The border areas is primarily ethnic minorities. And there are two ethnic minorities in the country that have always been problematic for the government. The first problematic people are called bullocks here in South East Iran by the Pakistani border. They have a history of a student seat against the government, OK? Second people that have been problematic are the Kurds, who are primarily in the northwest of the country. So if you are the US government, if you are the military, your strategy is to establish forward operating bases in these areas. A forward operating base is a spearhead of the military where you insert ground troops to hold in the area in order to resupply in order to push further into the territory. OK. So a forward operating base would be the US putting troops into the northwest in the southeast. And then using that as a way to move forward into Iran. No, you don't want to move forward into Iran because it's too large. You don't have enough forces to move into Iran. What you want to do is this. You want to establish forward operating bases in these areas in order to arm and trade ethnic insurgents, that you can also finance as well. And you do this because you want to turn them into cannon fodder. You have the force or response in the remaining military. So if they come in with the army in order to quell these rebellions, that's great. Because now you can use your air power to decimate the Iranian military. Your problem right now is the Iranian military is hiding inside mountains. And so you want to force them out in the open. And so you want to create as many points of tension in the country as possible to force the Iranian military to respawn, right? Does that make sense, man? OK. And now your third strategy is to strangle the capital, Iran. And that's where the political elite are. So let's sit down on people. And the way you strangle Iran is you deny them three things. You deny them water, electricity, and food. So you attack power plants. You attack reservoirs. You attack railways that bring food into the capital. And when you do that, these 10 million people in Iran will now oppose the government and demand a political settlement because they need food, water, electricity to survive. Is there a government? Right now, there's an obeyed as to the two extent of leadership in Iran. Because Trump's recent interviews he's saying he's claiming that the leadership in Iran are fighting themselves. But then he's also saying in other interviews that there's they don't even know who they're dealing with. Exactly. Iran has a very unusual political system in that it's of theocracy. It's a religious government. It's run by clerics called a mullahs in theory. And then there's a parallel system, a state apparatus, that actually takes care of day-to-day bureaucracy. And that's secular. The mullahs control the morality of the country. They also control foreign affairs. So basically, this is important because Iran has two parallel military structures. You have the military, but you also have the IRGC. The IRGC are only loyal to the mullahs. Which is the religious part? Exactly. So you have this divide in the country where the IRGC see this as a religious war, as a crusade, to kill the great Satan. And they want to fight to the death. And the great Satan is? The great Satan is the American Empire, which is the source of the misery that Iran has been suffering for the past few decades. And the IRGC not only do they see America as a great Satan, but they also see this as a global conflict because they have proxies that support their beliefs, including here in Lebanon, Hesbela, including here in Yemen, the Puthis, and of course in Palestine, Hamas. And before Syria was also part of their access of resistance, but Syria has been pluckled by the Americans and Israelis. So the IRGC see this as a religious crusade that is global in nature. The political leadership in Iran sees it completely different. They see this as a conflict permeated between America and Iran, and they want to reach a political settlement as soon as possible. And so in other words, these ceasefire negotiations, it's really all for sure, because I think in a day, even if the Americans gave the Iranians everything they wanted, the IRGC still controls the battlefield and they would not surrender or seek peace terms lightly. Another problem in this situation is the IRGC practice is called the Mosyak strategy, Mosyak. The end of the Mosyak strategy is, okay, you know the Americans, the most effective military ever in human history. You know that they practice shock and awe, the competition. So how do we spawn to that? You respond to that using decentralization. 31 provinces in the country where all common control that is localized. So basically they have 31 different armies that have their own leadership. That's correct, okay? And when you do this, it's a fight to the finish. Why did they do that? They did it because the Americans possess the most sophisticated surveillance technology in the world, meaning they can easily identify the leadership and they can easily track you down and kill you. So the only way around that is to decentralize the leadership and spread around the country so that the Americans can kill everyone. How does the central government orchestrate 31 different armies in Iran? How does it get a message out to them? I had Peter Heggseth make a comment in one of the interviews saying that it takes some time for the pigeons to get out to the armies. And what he was saying basically is that when the ceasefire was called and there was still some missiles flying, he was basically saying that's just because it takes a long time to tell the 31 different armies to stop. The reality is that given the most extraigy, there's actually no way to coordinate these 31 different military operations. Because then most extraigy was meant to fight to the end. You're not stop until you completely control the Middle East and the Americans have been forced out of the Middle East and Israel has been humbled. Okay. So let's go into the specifics of what the most extraigy is. The idea is that they have an eschatology. So eschatology is an understanding of how the world should be and how we move towards this world. And for the Iranians, the eschatology is that Iran in order to reach its true potential needs to be master of the Muslim world. It needs to displace Saudi Arabia. Because Saudi Arabia is to align with the United States, which is a great Satan. Mecca and Medina are under the influence of the great Satan because why are their US military bases in Saudi Arabia? So this war from their perspective, it's a great opportunity to overthrow the crop leadership of Saudi Arabia. But not only Saudi Arabia, the entire GCC, overthrow the crop governments of the entire Muslim world and install governments that put God alone first. So they're not going to quit around. This war, once it starts, can only lead to a war three. That's a strong statement to make. As a probability, what probability would you assign to that claim? I would put it pretty high, anywhere between 80 to 90% of the ability. So that's certainty. Basically, certainly, yes. Explain to me how that happens. Okay. So we need to step back and appreciate that there's a global dynamic going on. And we need to appreciate the grand strategy of the different players involved. So what I'm going to do is this, I'm going to explain to you how each nation sees itself in the world. And to do that, I'm going to use a chess set. Okay. This is the king. This is the political system of the United States, which is democracy. And there are certain strengths and weaknesses to a democracy. Democracy is vibrant. It's creative. It's flexible. But its ultimate weakness is polarization. Where today, the different political factions refuse to go along and this may be forgotten to civil war, okay? So the way you defeat the United States is not to conquer it. You can never conquer the United States. The way this defeat the United States is to force it into a civil war, which then kills the king. To get its people to rise up against the leadership. No, you want the Democrats, no Republicans, to form different factions and fight a civil war. Okay. You want to create so much political polarization with different elite factions and take up arms against each other, okay? So this is the political system, okay? But democracy. Now, let's look at the queen. What's the queen? The queen is what I refer to as the grand strategy of the United States. How the United States can maintain its control over the entire world. And the grand strategy, it's already outlined in a national defense strategy, right? Let's create fortress of America and then create chaos throughout the entire world so that we can sell everyone weapons and resources, okay? That's the grand strategy, right? All right. Now, once you've a grand strategy, you need to implement this grand strategy so you need attack vectors, all right? The attack vectors are the work, the bishop and the knight, all right? So let's go over the three major attack vectors of the United States. They are, first of all, America's technological supremacy. So these are basically the tools that they use to attack of this. Exactly. In order to achieve their grand strategy, all right? So aerospace supremacy, right? Which is the planes and stuff like that. Then you have the US dollar, right? Because the US dollar allows you to finance everything and everyone wants the US dollar, okay? So that is the second attack vector. And the third attack vector is propaganda. The United States controls the world's most powerful media, including the US Times, CNN. And that's such that you can control the narrative of the world, okay? So these are the three major attack vectors. Now they use the pawns. The pawns are weapons that they can sacrifice in order to achieve the grand strategy. And in the case of the United States, the pawn are the allies, meaning, I'd say this, but the UK, Europe, South Korea, and Japan, okay? And also the entire Western hemisphere. This is the Americans, okay? The people who are most opposed to this grand strategy of Americans, other Russians. So let's go over the Russian system. In the Russian system, the king, the political system, it's an autocracy. And an autocracy, it's good because it allows for coronation. It allows for decisiveness. It allows for resolve. Long time thinking. Exactly, right? That's Putin. What's bad is if this guy dies, there's a session crisis, right? So basically once you topple the autocrat and the system itself breaks down, okay? So that's the Russian system, all right? For the Russians, the grand strategy is someone called the third-rome strategy. The third-rome strategy? Yes, okay? So the people in Russia believe that they are the true successors to the Roman Empire. And previously, there are two rooms. It was the first room, and then moved to Kaisenapol, and Moscow is destined to be the third-rome. And what makes Moscow interesting is that it wants to unite the entire Christian world under its leadership. The main philosopher for the third-rome strategy is Alexander Dugin, 1997, what a book called Foundation of Geopolitics. And what he said was this. What he said that, if Russia is to defeat the Americans, it needs to build alliances throughout Eurasia, in order to negate American sea power and air supremacy, all right? So what are the attack vectors for Russia, okay? The first attack vector, the size of the country makes it almost invincible. So think about toward two, Operation Barbarossa, the Germans went into Russia with six, seven million men, and it didn't get very far, okay? So the terrain is very important. The geography is very important. Then you have the Orthodox religion, which is meant to galvanize believers into supporting Russia. The third attack vector is artillery. So Russia has the best land arm in the world. And we're seeing that play out in Ukraine where a combination of Russia artillery and drones, it's devastating in Ukrainian military in Ukraine. The pause for Russia are its soldiers. So Russia is able to sustain many, many casualties in its military. If you actually go and interview Russian soldiers, they are probably the perfect soldiers in the world. They are literally not afraid to die for what they believe in, okay? So this is the Russian third-room strategy. You can see how it conflicts with Americans, okay? Now we go to this release, Jerusalem, the capital. It's a mixed system, meaning it's both democracy as well as a theocracy. And it's good in that these release are very creative. But the fundamental weakness is the division of the society where Tel Aviv and Jerusalem don't get along, okay? So that is the blood system of Israel. The grand strategy of Israel is called the Greater Israel Project. So they really believe that the environmental ease belongs to them from the Nile to Euphrates. Because that's what it says in the Bible. This is what God Yahweh promised Abraham. So their intention is to conquer the entire Middle East, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, even parts of Turkey, okay? Now let's look at the attack vectors for the Israelis. The first attack vector is Mosad. Mosad is the most powerful intelligence agency in the world in that it is able to infiltrate and undermine given political systems. And the sword frame that doesn't know is the secret service. Basically, yes, the spy system. Second attack vector for this release is the Jewish diaspora. Because Jews do business everywhere around the world. And Jewish fishermen work very closely with Mosad. And as such, they have influence in a lot of places that they shouldn't have. And the third attack vector is the Bible. Why? These are your Christians. And there are many Christians who believe this. You believe that the Jews are God's chosen people. So if you look at what's happening in the Middle East, all this conflict between Israel and Palestine, a lot of this conflict is being supported politically by a group of people called Christian Zionists. And these are Christians. They're not Jews, they're Christians who believe that Israel should achieve a great racial project because this is part of God's plan. And the pawns for this release are basically everyone else, okay? So a lot of the hardware underpinning the global IT infrastructure, it's being controlled by these release. So now we go to the fourth player in this great game, that's Iran. So Iran, it is a bureaucracy. People are not afraid to die for what they believe in Iran. But the weakness is that it can alienate the majority of the population because only a minority are religious zealots in Iran. Most people just want to live to live a decent life. So they feel that these mollas, the IRGC are threat to their peace and prosperity, then they might rise up against the mollas. Which is what we've seen over the years, right? Exactly. So this is a political system of the Iranians. Their grand strategy is to unite the Muslim world under leadership. They have three attack vectors, okay? The first attack vector are their proxies. Crespolla, Hamas, and Houthis. Another attack vector is their asymmetrical warfare, meaning using drones and missiles to create as much economic damage as possible. And the third attack vector is their geography, or their topography. They are fortress. So it's almost impossible to invade them, right? So that's their sheer militiamen, these religious zealots who are not afraid to die. Essentially, many of them could be suicide bombers, okay? And so for them, this is a religious war, okay? So now we're seeing how this entire battlefield unfolds across the world, all right? So I've mapped out the grand strategy of these different nation states who will be involved in World War III. Let's look at our present situation, okay? So what we have so far is that the Russians occupied with their army in Ukraine, okay? This is where their infantry, their artillery is based. At the same time, Russia has something called the shuttle fleet and these are about a thousand tankers that evade sanctions around the world, okay? And this is essentially their navy. America is the most powerful military in the world. They have the most sophisticated aerosupermacy as well as the control over the sea lanes. And then try not to use infantry because that creates surveillance casualties and that pisses everyone off in America, okay? These realies are essentially a mercenary army aligned with the American Empire, doing a bidding of the American Empire. It's fighting in against Lebanon as well as Iran. Iranians, they don't have much of an air force but they use a lot of drones to threaten. So this is where we are so far. According to the grand strategy, we can predict how they will make their moves over the next few months or next few years. America doesn't really care about this war in Iran because what America wants to do is force an entire world to become dependent on American weapons and resources. And you do that in two ways. The first is you control the strategic choke points of the world and they include the shuttle commos. But you also want to control the shuttle Malacca right over here, these are blocks off East Asia. You also want to control the Panama Canal. You also want to control Greenland. You also want to control the Strait of Gibraltar. You can see the American Navy expanding outwards and occupying all these maritime choke points. At the same time, you want to use your technological supremacy, the aerial supremacy of your drones to destroy the world's critical energy infrastructure. Already we're seeing or if our needs being destroyed throughout the world. In refineries or refineries, yes. Or you, as America, you're trying to defeat the world energy inventory. So they're forced to beg you for display energy, right? And once this market is created, then you can build infrastructure for Venezuela. You can take over Canada, you can control Mexico, you can take over Greenland, okay? The Russians have no choice but to respond because if the Americans are controlling the strategic choke points, your shadow fleet is rendered redundant, useless. So how do you ship your oil around the world? We have two options. I'm just going to build railways to unite the Eurasian climate, okay? And I'll transport my oil using pipelines and railways. The problem with that is not that you're vulnerable to American aerial supremacy, drone attacks. So you have no choice but to arm your shadow fleet. And now what's going to happen is this clonting the oceans between Russian shadow fleet tankers that are trying to transport oil around the world and these American destroyers who are trying to capture or destroy these shadow tankers. Now the advantage that Russia has is that America doesn't have that much naval assets anymore. It used to but not anymore. The other thing is that the world really needs energy. So you can imagine China financing the militarization of the Russian shadow fleet. Why would the US try and stop Russian boats? Because in this global outlook, there are two nations that could provide weapons and resources to the rest of the world. There are Russia and they are America. So America has become dominant. It needs to blockade Russia. And what you do that is by seizing their shadow fleet. But if it's not happening, that would be an act of war. But it's already happening. What, really? Yes, it's already happening. Iranian tankers have been seized by the Americans and tankers are being seized in the Caribbean as well by the American Navy. Who's tankers? I believe they are Russian tankers. Yes, the United States has indeed been seized in tankers linked to Russia. A major escalation occurred earlier this year on January the 7th, 2026 when the US military and Coast Guard intercepted two sanctioned shadow fleet oil tankers. While one was seized directly in the Caribbean, the other involved a dramatic chase that started in the Caribbean and ended in the North Atlantic. US forces captured a sanction tanker during a pre-dorn raid directly in the Caribbean sea. The US military described it as stateless sanctioned dark fleet vessel which was engaged in illicit activities. These seizures are part of operation, southern spear, a strict enforcement of the US embargo on Venezuelan oil exports. Both vessels were targeted for violating US sanctions by transporting illicit crude oil linked to Venezuela as well as Iran and his below. And as you point out, this is an act of war. So those were ships that didn't have a country linked them directly? That's why they caused shadow fleet tankers. Okay, yes. But they were essentially Russian. But they were essentially shipping oil outside of the United States that the United States wouldn't control. Is that kind of... That is correct, yes. So... So the US said this, and this is our real get lost. That is correct, yes, right? So what the United States is doing, it's slowly expanding its global reach. The way it's doing that, it's starting to treat these with nations that are part of these choke points. So the trade in Malacca, recently, the United States has signed a military cooperation agreement with Indonesia. And with a shortage of polter, the markets have signed an agreement now with Morocco, right? So they're looking for the legal framework and justification to control the world's choke points, which would bring them directly in conflict with the Russian and shadow fleet. So at some point, you think the way that the war starts is the US Navy attacks a Russian boat. So I personally believe that this would be a drawn out process that, and there's no real concrete flashpoint. Because not only are Russian shadow flankers shadow fleet tankers being seized, but remember, Russian ore furniture are being destroyed by Ukrainian drones. The Russians believe that it is NATO that is responsible for the sabotage. So what do you take the catalyst moment is when this will kick off? I think we're already in the catalyst moment. I think we're already in war with three. Because this conflict, it's gonna expand outwards into a global conflict. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop this, right? Because again, you have these different competing visions of how the world should work. And the Russians and the Americans are already at conflict with each other. So the next step will be the Russians come into this war on the side of the Iranians. You think that's gonna happen? I think that's gonna happen. Because according to Russian grand strategy, you have no choice but to say the Iranians. Because you're trying to promote this view that the world is split between the spiritual and the material. The Americans are the antichrist. The Americans support individual hedonism. Whereas we Russians, we believe in humanity. We believe in goodness. We believe in community, right? So if you believe, if that is your argument, if that's your grand strategy, you have a more obligation, a more imperative to help the Iranians in their time of need. And in fact, Prime Minister Arachi of Iran has recently visited Putin in Moscow. Putin, Putin personally received him and said Arachi, we the Russian people admire your determination, your resolve against the Americans. And I think that is a sign that Putin has entered the chat in that the Russians will start to help the Iranians as his war progresses. So let's go back to this map, okay? And the Americans have a three-quang strategy to strangle Iran. The first is to use ground forces to establish border-operated bases to incite ethnic violence in the country. The second is to block all the children who move and cut off the Iranian financing. The third is to strangle Iran and cause the people to rise up against the government, okay? It will rush us so if things stay the same as they are, now America wins easily. But if Russia were to enter the war on behalf of Iranians, the first thing that Russia would do is to provide tyrann with reinforcement from the Kashmir and sea, right? Because the Americans want to knock out tyrannically to provide food, water, and electricity to its people. But food and fascism and sea, the Russians can support the Iranians. But not only that, and this is much more important, if the Russians were to come in, they could also bring the Chinese into the war on behalf of the Iranians. And the Chinese could use the belt and rolling initiative based on the railway system to reinforce tyrann from the East. So now you can now number strangle tyrann because the Russians or the Chinese are reinforcing tyrann. Then what the Russians could do is to provide financing to the Iranians. Basically, the Chinese and the Russians can say to Iranians, don't worry about financing. We will give you enough financing for you to continue this war for as long as you want. And we'll use our resources as collateral for this financing, right? And the third thing, and this is actually the most important is that Russia could put Iran under its nuclear umbrella. And this wouldn't negate the use of tactical nuclear weapons. These released and the Americans, if they really felt under pressure, if they really put in a corner, they could always choose to use tactical nuclear weapons. The Russians were involved that negates that option, right? So if the Russians get involved in this war, they bring the Chinese, they provide the resources and the financing to continue this war for as long as it takes, right? And now the Americans need to expand this war or in the world to try now to topple the government in Russia. Because the Russians are the main backers of the Iranians. And you're predicting that Russia will get involved here. According to the grand strategy of Russia, the Russians have no choice but to get involved because what will happen is that if you look at some math, if you read war to be conquered by the Americans, or there's release, the entire sovereign flank of the Russians are now exposed to possible attack. And that's something that the Russians would never allow to happen. The sovereign facts are this from underneath. Basically, right? Right? But knowing that, but the Americans already have close relations with Azerbaijan. And they already have bases to make a stand as once you back a stand, right? So you can see how once the Americans can start this area, they can now attack Russia from the South. But what's most important is the issue of global trade, where a counter to America's never blockade is by creating a Eurasian trade block that involves Iran, Russia, and China. If you look at Russia's North-South corridor, right? If you look at China's, if you look at Russia's North-South corridor, it runs fully Iran. If Russia wants to access the Middle East, that's what's Africa, it has to go fully Iran. Look at China's bottom road initiative. It goes fully Iran as well. So by taking out Iran, you've blockaded both Russia and China. 70% of people who had something to the online cart never actually buy it. And that number is based on over 10 years of research. But what I think is even more interesting is what the Bay Mard Institute discovered. They're a private research company that ran a study, which found the average e-commerce store can increase its conversion rate by 35% just by making its checkout easier. Not better marketing or better products, but by delivering a smoother checkout experience. So if you're looking for an easy way to make your checkout process smoother, I want you to think about moving your business on to Shopify. It's the platform we use to sell the 1% diaries and the conversation cards because it's so simple and smart to use. It puts all of our inventory payments and analytics in one place and has so many AI tools to help us get up and running straight away. Not to mention that it grows with you regardless of the stage that your business is at. So if you're ready to fix your checkout process, sign up for your $1 per month trial at Shopify.com slash Bartlett. That's Shopify.com slash Bartlett and don't tell anybody. I run multiple companies that have multiple sales teams. And one of the things as a founder of a company that's often confusing is you find it hard to figure out where sales are. So about 10 years ago I started using pipe drive in my former company. And it's also the reason why I switched over all of my commercial teams in my current media company called Stephen.com to use pipe drive as well. Not only did they sponsor this show, but they've been an incredibly effective way of scaling our sales engine over the years. pipe drive is an easy-to-use intelligence CRM. And at its very core, it makes your sales process visible through one dashboard. A visual pipeline showing every deal, what stage it's in, what needs to happen next. And it's all in real time with no delay. It doesn't magically close the deal for you, of course. But it does replace complexity with clarity. If you want to join over 100,000 companies already using pipe drive, you can use my link for a 30 day free trial with no credit card payment needed. Head to pipedrive.com slash CEO to get started. That's pipe drive.com slash CEO. CEO. I'll see you over there. So when do you think this is going to happen? If you get what to give me a timeline of events, you think it's going to occur. What timeline do you think you're operating under? I guess one of the factors here is that Trump only has what three years left in power. So, you know, he's presumably going to leave power at some point soon. So if you were around, you might just want to play it out and hope that there's a different leadership in place by 20, what, be 2030? The public leadership in Iran believe that they can win Trump out. So they're winning for the midterms because they believe that in November, the Democrats will win the midterms and then they won't pitch Trump. And basically constrained his capacity to fight wars. And worst case scenario, Trump will be gone in 2020 as you point out. There's some problems with this. The first major problem is the national defense strategy which we looked at previously. The national defense strategy, it is a long term strategic framework for how America can control the world. And so, one possibility is that Trump is just creating enough chaos for America to transition. When the Democrats come to power, if they come to power, they will institutionalize the strategy. And we know this as a possibility because in Trump's first term, he changed America's strategy around the world. And then when Biden came in power, he then institutionalized the strategy via the China. So it was Trump who launched this terror war against China and then Biden comes in power and institutionalizes it. So I think World War III, it's a much more long-term war of attrition. And I don't think that this war will end anytime soon. You've made a series of new predictions. You've made eight new predictions. Okay. And I have them in this box here. Okay. I'll let you reveal what those predictions are. Okay. This is one prediction. Okay. Okay. So this is most controversial prediction. I predict that there will be a use of war and Trump will get a third term. You think Trump will get a third term? Isn't that constitutionally illegal? There are things that are unconventional and immoral and wrong and evil and dangerous. And there are certain things that are illegal. Trump getting a third term is not illegal. So let me explain the loophole. What Trump could do is this. Okay. There are two possibilities. The first possibility is in 2028, he has his son, Don Jr. run as a president and he runs as the vice president. And then when Don Jr. wins, if he wins, then Don Jr. could advocate and Trump would be the president. And in the constitution, you need the constitution very carefully. It doesn't actually prohibit people from doing that. It's not been done in the past. And like no same person with any morality would do this. But that doesn't stop Trump from doing this. Okay. That's one possibility. Another possibility is that by 2028, America is at war with everyone. There's an actual draft. The president now has emergency war powers. And so he can actually suspend the constitution and delay the election, which is what Zelensky did in Ukraine. So these are two different possibilities. But I think that given Trump's track record, given his personality, I think he very much wants a third term. And I think that he will do every possible to get a third term. He would turn 83 years old in the same year that he finishes his second term. This is the man who eats McDonald's hamburgers every day. He doesn't really work out. Yet, on the campaign trail, he's able to go to two rallies a day. And in each rally, just 50,000 people. And he will talk on and on and on. Then, at night, when he should be sleeping, he's either on two social tweeting about the world, or he's calling out reporters and telling him or her some confidential information that he really shouldn't be discussing with the media. This is a man who loves a spotlight. He's lived all his life in the spotlight. For him, death is to be ignored. So, given his personality, he will rather die in office than live peacefully somewhere else. And of those two strategies that you name to where he puts his son in and then becomes president that way. He will break out. So, he says he has to stay in office. Of those two strategies, which one do you think he's more like he should deploy? I actually think that giving his narcissism would prefer the first strategy. His putting his son in. Because that shows himself in the world that America loves him. Okay. And it could also be JD Vance or someone else, right? It doesn't have to be his son necessarily. Everyone that's really worked for 12 has been kind of screwed over by him. Do you not think that if his son decided to run and then announced that the vice president was his dad, do you not think that there would be such a huge backlash in the United States that his son wouldn't win? Well, I think there's a possibility that they figure out how to cheat in 2028. Oh, as an actually cheat at the election. So at the poll. Right. So let's go into from mine. All right. It's psychology. In his mind, he won in 2020. The people voted for him. But the Democrats stole the election with melon ballots and by rigging the election machines. Okay. He in his mind. He literally believes that. He's a third term and the people and the government, they owe him a second term, which is what he wants now. He wants a conversation for having the election stolen from him in 2020. I find it really implausible to think that Trump would run for the third time. So again, this is prediction. Yeah. And it is a test of my theoretical framework. I was looking at some of the constitutions and the laws. And it says that this 22nd amendment explicitly states no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice. Some theorists have tried to argue that since the amendment says elected, a person might be able to serve a third time if they're appointed to succeed to the role. Exactly. If they were elected to the president first, legal scholars and the judicial community almost universally reject this. The 12th amendment requires that anyone serving as vice president must be eligible to be president. Since a two-term president is ineligible to be elected again, they are legally barred from being vice president. So the point is there's nothing explicit and there's debate in the legal community about the spirit of the 22nd amendment. And the Supreme Court is controlled right now by the conservatives. The point is three of the nine justices. And there's a possibility he gets a fourth later in the year. So it's entirely up to Supreme Court whether or not he can run. And again, there's something explicit in the Constitution that's not the case. The reason why the Constitution is that there's a possibility of being vice president. Okay. What's your next prediction? My second prediction is there'll be a grand bargain between the United States and China. What does that mean? It means that people expect that the United States and China will go to war at some point over Taiwan. China does not want to do that. China is probably happy with America being the world's hegemon because you have to invest so much of your resources into finding these wars that beg your nation. China doesn't want to fight these wars. So what China is going to do is try to triangulate between Russia and the United States. This is what happened during the Cold War. When China was not actually on the side of the Soviet Union, China was part of the non-aligned community. And that's what China is going to try for in World War III, where China may help out Iran, may provide financing for Russia, but it's also going to strike deals with the United States as well. Okay. So I think that Trump and president are supposed to meet at least three times, possibly four times this year. The first will be in Beijing. And I think that they will start a process in which China and America come to an arrangement that benefits both economically. What does America want? America wants China to continue to buy US Treasuries in order to finance the American debt. What does China want? China wants energy resources from the Western hemisphere and wants to access the American market. So there's no reason why China and America can I come to an arrangement that benefits both. And Trump is very much a transactional character. What will that mean for the world? It means that China is not really part of World War III in a meaningful way. Okay. So they're going to do a deal they'll continue to work together as friends. The China War will be friends with both Russia and the United States as Russia and the United States like each other. Okay. What's your next prediction? Iran is another forever war and the United States will institute a national draft. Iran is another forever war and the United States will institute a national draft. So you think Iran is going to, Iran is going to, Iran is going to tumble so the logic is this. America doesn't really care if Iran is a feeder or not. That's not really part of the American grand strategy. Iran right now is a perfect pretext for America to expand out words and establish maritime choke points around the world and to force the world to buy American energy. So this war in Iran benefits America tremendously. So I want to have it go on for a long long time. In order to make sure this war goes on for a long time you need ground troops and you need a lot of ground troops and that's why you need a national draft. So what would a national draft look like in the United States? Everyone between the age of 18 and 25 has to sign up to the army. Right. So most people don't appreciate this but America has always had a draft but for the longest time when you look at the care whether or not you actually sound for the draft. And so in December participation in the draft will be automatic meaning that you are between 18 to the 24 in America and in your mail you'll be automatically put into the draft system. From when? I mean from December. This year. Yes. That is correct. So between the age of 18 and 25 you think what does that really mean? I've not really experienced that in my lifetime. No, mail. Mail? Then you have to sign up for the army. No, you already put into a draft. Oh, you're ready? Okay, but you might be cooled upon. That's right. It's a lottery system. Okay. Right. And there's quite a lot of backlash during the Vietnam era. And so they sort of tone it down. But starting in December, they just pass a law that says that starting in December you will be automatically registered or they've passed a rule. Yes, they have. Well, in theory, Congress personally used to declare war. Okay. Right. That's a first step. And Congress has not actually declared war yet. Okay. So you think they'll be a draft and you think this war in Iran is going to trickle on for... A long time. How long? 10, 20 years. Like Afghanistan or? I don't see it stopping. Okay. What's next? Your prediction box. Okay. The world will move towards an AI surveillance state. I feel like that's already happening. I think it's pretty obvious. Yeah. What does that mean in reality for the average person? Because you know, we're seeing some of these big companies like Open AI and anthropical sort of signing up to government military surveillance projects. What does that mean for the average person? Right. So the average person, it means two things. It means digital ID. Digital currency. Okay. So what that will allow is for the government to basically monitor everything you do online and control all financial transactions. It can basically program your bank account so like you can't buy cigarettes or you can't buy drugs. And this will allow the government to basically categorize everyone and put everyone into a certain database to monitor that person. And once you have... Once you're able to categorize everyone, then you are able to use AI to predict their behavior. Isn't this book goes on in some parts of the world? This is where it goes on in China. And that's how I know about this. How does it work in China? Well in China, we all have digital ID. If you want to access anything in China, you need your digital ID. So you're going to open a bank account. You have to use a digital ID. If you want to use any you have to use a digital ID. If you want to use a phone, you have to use digital ID. So everyone's part of this national database. And then what this allows going to do is basically monitor everything you do. Because basically, depending on how you buy things, I can then extrapolate to figure out your behavior. And then I can figure out your thinking. And then I can create incentives in order to guide and control your behavior. So in China, can they see everything that you do? Yes they can. Messages you send. Everything. Everything. Everything you do online is being recorded and is being inputted into the database to figure out who you are, who you want, and how to control you. And they think this is progress by the way. This is progress. Because I'm making you a better person, right? I'm helping you achieve your dream. I'm helping you lose weight. I'm helping you avoid drugs. I'm helping you work harder. Why don't you be in trouble if you talk against this system? Well, I do not interact with the Chinese Internet. So everything I do is in English. It's meant for consumption in the Western world. And I don't talk Chinese reporters. I don't talk to Chinese social media. I have no Chinese media presence. And I am not at all influential in China. And I prefer that way. Because if I ever became famous in China, then they would obviously want to control me in order to better influence other people. What's your next prediction? Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. So you think Israel is going to conquer the Middle East? Israel has essentially already conquered the Middle East. The only force in their way right now is America. So once America leaves the Middle East, which I expect to happen, then Israel will absorb Santa Com, which is the central command, the American military bases, in the Middle East, and they will achieve the greater Israel project. There's no other power in the Middle East that can withstand the might and power of Israel. And do you have a timeline for this? The moment America quits this war against Iran, the moment that America leaves the Middle East, Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. And what's really interesting right now is that Israel is trying to direct this war out for as long as possible. Basically, you see this war as a way to destroy all its major enemies in the Middle East. It really has already said this. After Iran, Turkey is next. This war is already destroying Saudi Arabia and the GCC, right? So the last opponent is Turkey. Once Turkey is brought into this war, then Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. And the greater Israel project covers all of this region here from Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, and Iran. So the greater Israel project is like this. So it goes from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq. And it covers part of Turkey, Syria of Lebanon of Jordan, and parts of Saudi Arabia, which also includes Mecca Medina. What is your next prediction? NATO and Russia will fight for Dessa. A Dessa, what's a Dessa? So if you look at the Ukraine front lines, right now Russia is preoccupied in trying to control the Donbass, which is basically Eastern Ukraine. Why Russia is doing this is that Eastern Ukraine has historically been part of Russia, therefore most people there speak Russian or are accidentally Russian. The Donbass is also the agricultural and industrial heartland of Ukraine. So if Russia were to control Eastern Ukraine, doesn't really need Western Ukraine, and then Western Ukraine would basically become a rump state. It could be useless. So this puzzle would be Odessa, which sits on the Black Sea. The reason why you want Odessa is that it's the major port. And once you control Dessa, you basically block off Ukraine from the Black Sea. You have complete control over the Black Sea. The Black Sea is that the Black Sea? This is the Black Sea, and this is Odessa right here. So you're saying that Russia will take Odessa? That's correct. But NATO recognizes that if Odessa falls to the Russians, the war is over, and Russia will achieve all its major strategic objectives. Why is the war over? Because Russia doesn't want to continue on after Odessa. It doesn't need the rest of Ukraine. What does it get from taking Odessa? Once it takes Odessa, control of one-third of the world's carbohydrates. If Russia willed Africa, which starved to death? The Middle East, which starved? Why? Because Russia and Ukraine export a lot of grain to these places. These places are not food independent. They rely on fertilizer. They rely on food imports. Okay. And Russia is using the Black Sea here to export. Exactly. What is your next prediction? One. Please be good. Okay. I was hoping for an optimistic one, but East Asia breaks out into conflict. Okay. What do you mean by that? Okay. So we've talked a lot about the Middle East, and we've talked briefly about Europe. Okay? So now let's go into East Asia. And I think there are three major sources of friction and conflict in East Asia. And these could be potentially major flashpoints. The first flashpoint is, of course, over Taiwan. Because China believes that Taiwan is part of its territory. And so it wants to take over Taiwan. The problem with this is that recently, Prime Minister Takeshi of Japan has said that Taiwan is core to Japanese strategic interests. And what she means by this is that Japan has no resources. It's a manufacturing power that depends on resources from overseas. If China were to think over Taiwan, it can now lock Japan from accessing the Australian Malacca. And that is a possibility Japan cannot permit. So Japan would fight to ensure that Taiwan and China were never to unify. Would they actually? Because China is so strong, right? Could they just knock Japan straight out? Japan has no choice but to fight. Because again, if China and Taiwan were to unify peacefully, Japan would cut off from the entirety of Southeast Asia. And Japan relies on Southeast Asia historically for resources. Why would it be cut off from Southeast Asia? Going down here through the Philippines. There's a lot of resources around the South China Sea. Oil, minerals, all that. So if China and Taiwan were to unify, basically Japan would feel a bit threatened. And your prediction is that there will be some kind of conflict in this region? Yes, so that's the first flashpoint. Taiwan. There's another flashpoint, which is Australian Malacca. Because again, America wants to control the Australian Malacca, but China recognizes that the Australian Malacca is key to its economic survival. And so there's a lot of conflict over the Australian Malacca. That's flashpoint number two. The third flashpoint, which I think with the most surprising, but actually with the most pressing, is North Korea. So let's just use game theory. We are the supreme leader of North Korea. It is a dictatorship. Everyone worships me. It's a core personality. But we're poor. And the rest of the world is in conflict, right? Europe is fighting with Russia. The Middle East is in flames. America is distracted trying to control the world to the best of its ability. Japan and China are fighting over the South China Sea. If you're North Korea, now is the best opportunity to create as much havoc in the world as possible. There's absolutely nothing and they can do to stop you. You are the roller in high school that no one pays attention to, because all the big boys are finding each other. You can come in and dominate the school now. Who would they be dominating? They could dominate South Korea. Because if you just look at a population map of South Korea, most of the South Korean population is located in Seoul. And Seoul is about 20 minutes artillery from North Korea. So in 20 minutes, North Korea could rain artillery onto Seoul. And basically a day flat in the higher city. Why wouldn't you extort the South Koreans? Because the South Koreans are going to shoot back. With what? Do they not have military? The people protected by the Americans right now. The Americans are busy transporting artillery and weapon systems, including the FAT system, over to the Middle East. It's called FAT, T-H-A-A-D. It used to be in South Korea to protect against North Korea, and now it's over in the Middle East. So Americans are catalyzing both South Korean and Japan in order to maintain this war in the Middle East. Not so time. Why not? It's free money. It's like ticking candy from a baby. But South Korea have they're a military now. How do you defend against artillery strikes? I don't know. You don't. But they would fire back, right? They'd get themselves into a pretty ugly war. South Korea have a big military. Well, my people were poor. They're not afraid to die. In fact, I've sent thousands of them to go to Ukraine to fight for the Russians, and they fight to the death. Things they're poor, and they don't fight to the death. If they're allowed to be taken prisoner, I'll kill their families back at home. South Koreans are rich. They are used to democracy. They're used to individual rights. So if I threaten to blow your city up, you're telling me you won't bribe me not to do so? Isn't the fastest way it should bribe me enough to cause trouble for you? Okay, so you think they're going to bribe them? Extortion. This is extortion. I don't need to destroy South Korea. All I need to do is threaten the South Koreans, and they'll just bribe me not to do anything. So what does all of this stuff mean for the average person? People are listening right now. They're just normal people. A lot of them. Not all of them. But a lot of them are just normal people getting in with their lives, and they care about their families, their jobs, their futures. What message have you got for them? In this new world, we will need leaders. We will need average people who are able to bring hope to people around them, who are able to tell their neighbors, their friends. We have to come together as a community and become a family if we were to survive. That's what the world needs in the future. It will need entrepreneurial leaders. It will need visionaries. It will need profits. Those who will most thrive are those who make an effort to reach out, knock on the door of your neighbors and say, listen, this is a blackout. And there's probably no water. But don't fear. Because if we come together as a community, if we go and knock on every door, then everyone is apart and building. And then we'll be 100 of us. And we just sit down and have a meeting and just discuss what's happening. One of us will come up with a solution. And one of us will help everyone else figure out how to find water or how to build a better society. And we know this because historically, this has always been true. The first collapse, infrastructure collapses. Which empire do you think is collapsing the United States empire? The United States empire is collapsing, yes. And who is taking its place? No one can take the place of the working empire. So we live in a unipolar moment. And the closest historical analogy to today is something called the branch age collapse. The bronze age collapse. And this happened about over 3,000 years ago. And what happened during the branch age collapse is that you have these established kingdoms throughout the Middle East and Europe. You had mycenaean Greece. You had the high-tight empire in Anatolia, which is present day Turkey. You had the Mesopotamian Empire, you had the Egyptians. And one by one, they collapse. The reason why was that a perfect storm of calamities came at the same time. There were earthquakes. There were famines. There was a climate crisis. There were wars. There were civil wars. There were revolutions. And so you have this massive surge of refugees called the sea peoples, flowing from north and west Europe and sweeping the entire, sweeping food to the entire Middle East. And the reason why is they were hungry. They didn't have any food to eat. So they organized into, you know, these large pirate armies and they overwhelmed entire civilizations. And so we will see a version of the dynamic play out in the world where in the future, our concern won't be wars. Our concern will be these millions of refugees who want to flood into our societies because they're hungry. And they're going to come from Africa. They're going to come from the Middle East. They'll probably come from South America as well. So I saw your show with Steve King, by the way. Steve King. Yeah. It was a great show, right? And he talked about this where, look, the world depends on fertilizer. And there's eight people in the world. And while fertilizers, the world can only sustain at most to bump people. Well, what are the six billion people going to do? It just started to have? No, they're going to migrate. And they're going to want food. And this is going to create a huge global crisis throughout the world. I mean, one might argue that with the rise of things like AI and robotics, the cost of production is going to drop and there's going to be more, you know, Elon talks about the age of abundance and all these kinds of things. But you have to go food out of the ground. And you are using fertilizer to maximize the landscape capacity to go food. So you don't have fertilizer. You don't have as many robots as you want. They don't have to eat food. We have to eat food. So what is your, you talked about hopefulness. Right. Are you hopeful? I'm very helpful. What are you hopeful for? I believe that humans are first and foremost creative and resilient. And our abilities have become dormant because we've become too complacent. Western lifestyle have made us extremely lazy and fat. But the moment we're presented with a crisis, the moment that we find our families in danger, we're able to come together as a people and come up with all this tremendous imagination in order to make a better society. Make sure you keep what I'm about to say to yourself. I'm inviting 10,000 of you to come even deeper into the direvacier. Welcome to my inner circle. This is a brand new private community that I'm launching to the world. We have so many incredible things that happen that you are never shown. We have the briefs that are on my pad when I'm recording the conversation. We have clips we've never released. We have behind the scenes conversations with the guests and also the episodes that we've never, ever released. And so much more. In the circle you'll have direct access to me, you can tell us what you want this show to be, who you want us to interview, and the types of conversations you would love us to have. But remember for now, we're only inviting the first 10,000 people that joined before it closes. So if you want to join our private close community, head to the link in the description below or go to doccircle.com. I will speak to you there. Professor, what's the most important thing we haven't talked about that we should have talked about? So let's talk about the nature of reality. To explain the nature of reality, I'm going to explain Plato's algorithm cave, which he talked about in his book, The Republic. Right, exactly. This book. Yes, The Republic. Okay. One of the masterpieces of quick socialization, all right, so this is how Plato explains the nature of reality. And so he's a metaphor called the cave. So I want you to imagine a dark cavern that is huge. And in this cavern, there are hundreds of people lying up together. And they're also in a rope, and this goes on for, you know, miles and miles, just thousands of people. And they are chained to the ground. The next are shackled. So they can actually move. And all they can do is stare in front of them at a giant wall. That's empty. Okay. Now, behind these people, and again, they can't see behind them, right? They break fire. Along the alongside the fire are people. Okay. We don't know who they are. They'll never explain what these people are. They take puppets. And they project these puppets. All the fire on to the wall. And when people see the shadows, they think that this is reality. And as such, they begin to create narratives to explain this reality. They create language. They give shadows names. They explain what these shadows come from. They create religion. Then these people decide to specialize. So some people who are priests, who explain this new religion. There are some people who are poets that talk about the beauty of these shadows. And then you have teachers who teach about these shadows to children. And then over time, what happens is that these people fall in love with this reality, so that they are addicted to it. So if anyone comes on and says, hey guys, why don't you look behind you and see it's all just a forest. These people will be so angry that they kill this person. So I'm not sure if you've ever watched a Korean drama. Have you watched a Korean TV drama? Not really, no. So unfortunately, I have. And these people are going for like thousands of hours. And for the first 10 hours, you're disgusted by the plot. Because it makes no sense. But by the 20th hour, you can't stop watching it. The same situation here where it's a silly television drama. It's all fake. But once people watch too much of it, they want it to be true. And that's the nature of reality that we live in. So some things to remember is that what creates this reality are not the people in charge. What creates this reality is our imagination. So the first thing to appreciate is that everything is a hallucination. And this is something that North scientists have confirmed. So what we're going to do is we're going to take this out of the cave, the framework, and then apply it to our reality to understand how it's created. So in the first layer, you need a power, a force, to put people in change. And this is what we call the military industrial complex of America, as well as the empire. So going back to this example, it's the layer that puts the people into change. But now the second step is you need people to create the reality, to direct people's attention, to create the game. And these people are the financial elite, the bank of inertial settlements, based in Basel. So what do they do? These people are the ones who set the exchange currency rates. And they also allow for seamless financial transactions, the Swift system, basically. Then Wall Street and the state of London, were the financiers. And then you have the Federal Reserve, Federal Reserve System, because the Federal Reserve are the people who print money. Okay. Now, once you create the rules of the game, you need to create the game itself, which is the global economy. Right? Global economy. And obviously this is a pretty vast system that encompasses everything, okay? Now you have the extent of people how the global economy works. You cannot tell people, oh really, there are these secret people, working on the scenes, that are projecting shadows onto a wall. So what you do is you create multilateral organizations that pretend to control the global economy. And they are the wall bank. They are nations. You make people believe that this is all being controlled impartially for our benefit. Now you have to convince people that this system is legitimate, that when you're actually seeing the shadows on the wall, they're real. And that's why you need the media. That's why you need cultures, such as Hollywood, movies, basically. And you need education, school system, okay? These are the people who are all prisoners, who have become leaders of the prisoners, and who are helping understand the shadows on the wall. So am I in the media? Yes you are. Am I? Yes. So what am I doing? Am I one of the people in the fire controlling the narrative? Is that what? Yes. Yes. But I'm not owned by anybody. That's what you think. Oh really? Yes. Who am I owned by? Ultimately it's a people who control a fire that are in charge. Right? So ultimately it's these people, the second layer, the game masters, the financial lead that control everything. And the financial elite again are like the world bank, he said. No, no. The financial elite are these part bankers. Okay, so the private bank is controlling me, because you said I was in the media. Do you want to make money? Yeah. Then they're controlling you. Okay. Right. How are they controlling me? Because they control the Christian money. And so now that you have the media, the schools, and the cultural systems, helping people understand the shadows on the wall, these shadows now become internalized. And they dictate the values and norms of people, what they believe to be good and bad. They dictate habits and customs, how you live your life. And they dictate the legal system, who's punished for what? Okay? And this becomes the top edifice. And what's amazing about the system is that in our minds, okay? In our minds, we believe that the system is, first of all, the complete opposite, where the foundation is actually the laws, the habits, and the values. When in fact, in reality, these are just figments of our imagination. Okay? That's point one. Point two is that this is a very, very delicate structure. So if anyone doesn't cooperate, okay? Then this is this edifice collapses. It means it's a very, very delicate system. And the third thing, and this is most important, to understand the world that we live in, as this system becomes much more wobbly, meaning that young people don't really believe in the shadows anymore. Young people grow up and say, hmm, are these shadows really real? They don't feel real to me. The system needs to become much more authoritarian. It needs to force people to believe what they refuse to believe. Because everyone in the system is incentivized to ensure this edifice is stable. Do you think this is somewhat linked to what's going on with independent media? Exactly. Because independent media are asking a lot of questions about the way society functions. Exactly. And that's why we're seeing governments becoming very worried about independent media. Because if you have people on the population saying these shadows are fake, this creates a ripple effect. It causes people to start questioning these shadows on the wall. They don't have that. So that's why it's important to have censorship. That's why it's important to de-platform people. That's why you have walk politics, DEI. This is an enforcement mechanism. Yeah, I mean, it is pretty hard. It's not easy being an independent podcaster if you have a big platform. Because you're not always the most loved by the mainstream media. And they'll figure out how to eventually... But I think that's very human, actually. I think the incentives are quite understandable from a human perspective. Look, if you look at the system, no one's really in charge, and no one's a villain. They just grow up in the system... And everyone's protecting that incentive. Exactly. That's kind of what I mean. I'm like, yeah, human nature is to protect ones incentives. And, you know, the media didn't like Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook because 80% of... 78% of ad revenue went to Google and Facebook. So they had a bit of a wall. So I kind of get it. People are trying to protect what's theirs. And disruption causes people to... I guess panic a little bit, but makes sense. But the problem is that over time, more and more young people are going to grow up and say, I don't see shadows. I'm pretty sure we're being lied to. In which case, this person has an opportunity to overthrow the system and create a new system. And this is why AI is important. But we currently believe this one. We currently believe in this structure. It's almost... It's really difficult, I think, for the average person listening now to accept the fact that they have believed a bunch of fundamental ideas and stories that everything they care about is sad upon. But I mean, you only... If you've read the book Sapiens, and understood that humans got here because we've had a remarkable ability to believe in stories that maybe the orangutan could not believe. It couldn't believe in money and governments and religions and all these kinds of things. It makes perfect sense that, yeah, there's really foundational stories what you are accepting. And that's what's brought us here today. That's what keeps me from running out on the street without our clothes on or doing other list activities is I'm held in place by set of stories that I've accepted. And they are stacked one upon the other to make me believe that everything I'm seeing and accepting is valid. But, you know, I guess the question becomes, am I okay with this reality? And what's something else from creating our own reality that benefits everyone? Is that possible? Well, in theory, it's possible. But as you point out, there's certain people who are happy with the system and want to maintain the system. And that's why we're going to wars around the world because it's not just a war between different nation states. It's also a war for the fundamental nature of reality. You have the bankers versus the tech roles, right? That's what we're seeing in the world right now. Where, for the longest time, Wall Street has controlled America, but now, with the Trump revolution, you have volunteer. You have people like Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, Senator Almond, who want to create opposition stargate, which gives them complete control over people's imagination. You can knock it over now. Okay. And that thing will come down eventually because that is just the fundamental fact of human history. Everything. No matter how stable it seems in the beginning, it all comes crashing down eventually. Eventually. Eventually. Cyclically. Yes. Ray Dalio talks about the cycles through history and how predictable they are and how frequent they are. Is there a frequency to the rise in full of these, I guess, perceived realities or empires as he calls it? Yeah. So they say empires last around 20 years. And so we are now in the top highlight of the American Empire. And what we know is that when empires decline, it's always for the same reasons. And it's always because of too much debt, too much corruption, too much inequality. And we're seeing that in America today. And the thing that we know is you can't actually stop the decline of empires. So also a Spangler, who is a German theoretician, he argues that we are human beings. And we have natural life cycles because we're organisms. Well, societies are the same way. Where empires they will be born, they'll rise, they'll die. And it's a good thing because that's what allows for constant human innovation. Do you think that will happen in my lifetime? I'm 30 years old, 33 years old. It may happen in everyone's lifetime. It may happen in the next five to 10 years. We are seeing. Do you think that's going to happen in the next five to 10 years? I think there's very strong possibility that the American Empire will collapse in the next five to 10 years. Because it is overstretched. It's in too much debt. And it is really angry in the entire world. It's basically unifying the entire world against it right now. And if that is to be the case, what would you give me as advice as a 33 year old? What actions should I be thinking about taking now based on what you know about history to make sure that it's not too bad for myself? I guess I'm asking this question in light of you predicting that there might be a collapse of the sort of western or the American Empire. And in such a scenario, I was wondering what it would look like to be an American. And is there a solution or a course of behavior one should take in such a scenario? But what I guess that's the key question, which is if the US Empire does collapse, how does American life change or western life change? Okay. So one theory that's very important to understand is someone called Hermetic Philosophy. And Hermetic Philosophy is what underpins Plato's algorithm cave. And Hermetic Philosophy comes from Egypt. And it has some principles. But his main principle is that reality is energy. It's vibrations. Okay. So we think of it as material. The material is a consequence of energy. Right. So what this means is that reality is consciousness itself. So our thoughts are what's real. Our bodies are just vehicles to experience the world around us. But they're not real. When we die, our souls return to the source. And we come back again. And we are here permanently in order to experience things we cannot experience in the spiritual world. Because in the spiritual world, it's not material. So what's really important is to appreciate that every one of us is part of the source. And so if we think about the totality of things, we can only become despondent. We can only give up hope. But we think about how individually we can become a better person. And how we can impact the people around us. Then that becomes reflected onto the reality itself. Because we're just part of God itself. Right. So the idea is as above, so below, as below, so above. Meaning that we are each and everyone else. Fractals of God. So we choose to be a good person. This makes the world a better place. We choose to be a bad person and also makes the world a worse place. So it's not really about how can I stop these wars from happening. But you cannot. It's not really about where can I put my money to make generate more income because that's not going to happen. It's really about how do I live my life to the fullest? How do I become a much more creative individual that brings goodness to the people around me? If you do that, you change the world every day for the better. That's a nice message. That's a very nice message. And I agree. And it's really interesting. I've spoken to a couple of physicists now. Who say similar things regarding about consciousness. And it really has stuck with me. A lot of things people say, you know, sometimes because I learn so much doing this that I forget them. But this idea that we're all part of the same consciousness and that I think someone said to me a physicist to me that it's almost like consciousness divided into lots of little pieces. That's right. Fractals. Fractals so that it could experience the world or view the world. Exactly. And I found that to be a really compelling idea. Weirdly, I was thinking about this the other day. I was in a European country. And I was driving in a taxi. And I looked out the window. And you had all of these like tourists just at the edge of the water, all just like looking up and looking around. And I just, for a second thought of it, thought of them as like little pieces of consciousness exploring the world. Because they were like looking up and looking out and looking at mountains and looking at the ocean and looking at the floor. And it dawned on me for a second that that might just be consciousness is manifestation for sort of, I guess, exploration. Which is a really interesting idea. I don't necessarily know what it means, but it does create a little lot of empathy. So one area that you might want to explore is the Kabbalah. So what's this Kabbalah thing? Right. It's what they call the tree of life. And in the tree of life, it's what you're trying to say is that it's a dynamic in the world, like governs all human affairs. And this dynamic is thesis, antithesis, synthesis. So God is the will to bestow, creates Adam Kanman who is the will to receive and on Kanman has to abandon God. That's the story in the world. But eventually, because the world is destroyed, and then Kanman and his descendants, us recognize the fall of our ways and beg God for forgiveness. And this will redeem the world. We peer the world. And if you think about it, okay? This is what underpins a lot of actions that is happening in the Middle East. Where these really are doing what they're doing, we're just trying to force the hand of God. Meaning that, okay, if the issue is committing all these atrocities in the Middle East, it's putting all these wars, eventually the world will have to punish the issue, the issue of the East. Right? There'll be war between the world and the issue. An issue will be humbled. But once the issue is humbled, everyone in the issue will recognize the fall of his or her arrogance, hubris, and then will beg God for forgiveness. And once that someone happens, when all people in Israel, at the same time, beg God for deliverance and for forgiveness, the world will end. And we'll return to paradise. That's literally what they believe. We're going to have to stop that professor. Okay. We have a closing tradition where the last guest leads a question for the next guest, not knowing who they're living it for. And the question left for you is, who will you miss the most and why? Well, I will miss my wife the most, because I met my wife by 10 years ago, and this was a time in my life when I had hit rock bottom. I went to Yale, and so I have a very elevated sense of myself and my abilities. And so I went into the world thinking that I would conquer it. And after decades of failure, I basically became very depressed. Failure. Yes, I didn't have a job, meaning I didn't have much income, meaning I didn't have much hope in my life. And so I was working as a teacher and for mutual acquaintance I met my wife. And I think that it was because I became so depressed that my heart I begged for relief. I begged God, even though I don't believe in God, for salvation and redemption. And my wife came as an angel. And what she did that no one else did before was she loved me unconditionally. She was kind to me. She told me to believe in myself. And she proved it by making the ultimate sacrifice and having a child with me. Right? It's one thing for someone to say, I believe in you. I love you. It's another thing to have a child without person. And so that changed me totally. And I said to myself, I can't despair anymore. I have to work hard. I have to provide for my family. And at this time I was thinking that maybe I could help children students go to Yale. Like, you know, in China, consulting is a huge business where if you help package a kid and you get to the Yale, you get about a million dollars. That's a lot of money, right? And she told me you can't do that. You have to be true to yourself and you have to be true to our son. I said a good example for him. And so what happened was that I got a job as a high school teacher. And then I started to make these YouTube videos. And then it blew up online. And this was not something that we expected. It's not something that we planned for. It just happened organically. So it was my wife just by saying, I love you to me. And I knew it to be true because we had a child together. We started family together. By loving me unconditionally, by being kind to me, it changed me forever. And that's what empowered me to want to share myself with other people as well. And so I don't know how I will ever affect my wife. I'm forever grateful for her. And I don't, I don't, before I did really mind the endless world, but I don't want to leave this world anymore because I don't want to separate from her. Could you have expected that you'd have the success you've had online? You've got two, almost two and a half million subscribers on YouTube alone, getting millions and millions and millions of views on your videos. I mean, some of your videos have almost 10 million views on various channels that you've been on. You've only made 146 of these videos and your channel has grown immensely. Could you have imagined? I did. You did imagine? Yes. You thought it would go like this? Not this big, but I imagine, you know, I would find people who believe in what I was doing and who would be inspired by what I was doing. And I knew this because when I met my wife and I fell in love for the first time, and we love each other unconditionally, my imagination started to open up. I could see and feel things that were not available to me before. And it was as though I became much more connected to the source. I became much more connected to the universe. And the universe was given me insights as to how to proceed. And so I had one day in inspiration. Let me start our YouTube channel and let me make stupid predictions and see where it goes. Because if I'm right, then I would be pretty famous. If I'm wrong, then I'm an idiot. But what gave me the courage to imagine all this was again the love of my wife. So that's why I say, kindness and love. So I did imagine this, but not to the extent that, you know, my YouTube channel has blown up. You've only been doing it about a year. I don't think I've ever seen someone get two and a half million subscribers in a year. Especially making geopolitics and it's many geopolitics, isn't it? And history videos in a year. That's crazy. But I will tell you this. It has not changed me. Because being with my wife, having a family, I know my mission is to share myself with others. So I could easily create a media education company like Jordan Peterson and start my own university. I don't want to do that. I want to share myself with others. I want to constantly learn. I want to constantly ask questions. I want to be open-minded. I want to be brave for my wife and my family. And so yes, I did succeed. And I think I affect the universe for lending me succeed. And I thank most of all the fact that I succeeded. I engage in a time when I can focus on a mission and ignore the fame, the wealth, the status. Are you happy? I'm very happy with my family. Because it's my wife and my children who bring me tremendous happiness in the world. The YouTube channel. If they close it down tomorrow, and they might, I wouldn't be at all unhappy. Because I could just go and create more videos. What matters is a source of my creativity, which is my love I have for my family. That is beautiful. Really beautiful. I mean, it's really self-evident the value you're giving to people because the amount of people that showed up in my comment section and demanded that you come here was staggering. In fact, that's actually how I learn about you. I just threw your name so much in the comment section. I was like, who's this guy? I went on YouTube and looked around and then I found these videos, and then I got served them because I clicked on them, and then I got, went down the route, that whole like it was. Just to warn you, I am a hollow icing figure. Some people really love me, but some people also really really hate me. It doesn't matter. I sit here with people really regardless of that stuff. I think that's important and quite rare. I've sat with Kamala Harris, Ivanka Trump, or Gavin Newsom, or Michelle Obama. For me, it's really about the pursuit of truth rather than being captured too much by all the blocks that we have on the table. Thank you for doing what you do because you're demystifying and you're giving a perspective to the world. I think one of the things you do that really has compel people is you're able to break things down in visual ways that allow people like me who aren't the best when it comes to books and textbooks and weren't necessarily very good in school to understand concepts in a simpler way and really to bring them to life in ways that make them actionable and relevant to our lives. And so long may you carry on doing that. And that's a central message that I hope people understand like everyone has the capacity to learn the truth for himself or herself. It's only a question of desire and will. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
