All right.

B
Good morning, everybody. We are very fortunate to be joined by our good friend, the one and only Michael Yan, who is staying up super late midnight in Japan so he could be with us here today. Michael, thanks for joining us. We really appreciate it.
- [00:15]
A
Oh, thanks for having me on. You know, I just got back from the bear hunter. Masako and I were up there and we first found him two years ago. We were up in a. Not really northern Japan, not like Hokkaido, but we were in Honshu, northern Honshu, and we were studying famine. And so we're. We were up there because there had been famine there before and historically and, and anyway, there's. There was. It was a good place to study because we. We like to go out with farmers and that sort of thing. But I also asked for where's a good bear hunter around here? And because, you know, I always love to go to farmers and I love to go to hunters in every country because the farmers and the hunters, they just know stuff and they're. I don't care what culture it is that I always get along with them. And, and so we found this bear hunter and the, the. It turns out he's like the bear hunter. And so, yeah, he's like, you know, because the, the rewilding is going on, you know, across the globe and you know, where. That's big, you know, the, the world is being returned to the Planet of the Apes.
- [01:20]
B
Reintroduction of wolves everywhere, that kind of thing.
- [01:22]
A
Yeah. Oh, it's the same story like in Netherlands, but there's. With wolves and Germany is with wolves and Canada wolves and coyotes. Right. And United States as well. Right. And so here it's bears and deer and. Which aren't that big of a problem. There's a lot of them monkeys and that's in wild hogs here. But the bears are the ones that are attacking people and they're attacking a lot of Japanese. Can I.
- [01:48]
B
Let me show this, Let me show this video real quick. Just this infographic you got. You have to see this to get the perspective of how bad the problem is. This infographic is, shows bear attacks and including fatalities since April of this year.
- [02:08]
C
It's amazing in that I always think of Japan as being one of the most developed and safest and bear attacks. It boggles the mind, actually.
- [02:26]
B
And look here at the very.
- [02:27]
A
How.
- [02:27]
B
Look at it accelerating, though.
- [02:31]
A
That's just this year.
- [02:40]
B
I mean, now this is incredible. Now, now this guys, this guy, this bear hunter you went to see has killed 50 bears since April, right?
- [02:51]
A
Yeah, he killed four in one day last week. And, and so he's been hunting bear since he was 4 years old. That's what, or the first time he said he went bear hunting, it was four years old on his grandfather's back. He's a fourth generation bear hunter. And so again, I love to go to hunters, I love to go to farmers. And often they're one in the same. So this was one stop shopping because he's actually a rice farmer. And so, so we spent a lot of time with him a couple years ago and kept in touch. So we went back because I'm like, wow, the bears are just smoking people here now. And, and so we went back up to see him and, and, and he's got a whole big. He's killed about 500 bears, he said, in his lifetime. And 50 of those were this year. And one day, I mean like on, let's say November 7th, there was a bear that broke into a hotel. And, and, and they, the, the police surrounded the hotel. They called him. So this is just, you know, days ago, less than a week ago. So they called him up. He's training the police now, by the way. He's training the police in the Japanese military to fight bears. So that's how, that's how serious this dude is. So they, they, they surround the hotel. Yeah, this is it, man. You'll love this guy. It's like, you know, I just enjoy every minute with him. He's serving a spare, by the way, while we're talking with him yesterday.
- [04:12]
C
What kind of weapon does he use, Michael?
- [04:15]
A
That when he shot the bear in the hotel, it was a slug shotgun, 12 gauge. And he's got a.300 win mag though. I said, did you use the.300 win mag or. He said, no, no, it's too much power for the. But so he, so he goes into the hotel and, and, and by the way, you know, Japan is law and order more even than Germany. So he said I had to get a license to hunt indoors. So the mayor was there and he gave me a license on the spot to hunt indoors in the hotel. Right. So he said these other hunters wanted to like the police wanted them to go in with him. And he's like, no, no, no, I want them to stay back. And because he goes, you know, this is this close quarters combat with a bear, you know. So he went in there and the bear came at him. He popped it and he said it shot a hole in the floor too. I said, did it go through the bear? He was using a slug and he Said, yeah, made a hole in the floor. He said, but I had to shoot it down because, you know, the police were outside and the slug could obviously go. But the thing is, a couple years ago we talked with him at length about how he likes to hunt and, and I said did the birds tell you where they're at and that sort of thing? Because you know, birds will often tell you where things like that are. And he said no, the birds are dumb here. He goes, but my grandf father actually said the eagles will tell you where the bears are. And you know, because some birds will tell you where stuff is that they want you to get, you know, and the person, I mean, you know, the forest is smart and, and, but he said the way he likes to hunt is ambush generally. But he's also got traps. So we're sitting there with him, a couple he's had. He has to hunt a lot of them with traps now. And the app went off on his phone. He goes, I just got one. He's showing us on the app. So I'd made video. So he's like yeah, it just went off. So I just got a bear. Well that's why we're talking with him, right? And so, but usually he, in the past he just likes to go out with his rifle or a shotgun and get him and but, but now there's so many that they need him to trap. So he's putting traps out there and then he kills those with a spear. But after he's got him in the trap. But, but, so anyway, the way he hunts when he's using his rifle is he, he tracks him, he goes, I, I don't go hunt, I don't go bear hunting to go bear hunting. That's what most people do. He goes, I go hunting to get a bear, right? So I, when the conditions are right, I know, you know, when I need to go, I just go and I pick up their track and then I get ahead of him. So he rushes ahead of him and he'll, you know, like three hours ahead of him, he said, and he'll wait because he knows where they're going to go. You know, his fourth generation bear hunter, he knows how the bears go, just like I know how to, how alligators go. You know, I showed him a photo of the 12 foot alligator I got when I was 14. He loved it. So, but anyway, and so he goes, you know, he gets behind a tree or a rock and he just waits, he just like meditates back there, you know, and when the bear gets Close. He comes around, pops it. And he said, you know, people think the bear will come at you, but what it does is it comes back and then it'll come at you, but you gotta hit it right? Then I said, you must have a trustworthy rifle, right? I said, what's the closest you've ever gotten? He's like, you know, this close and he. I should. I shot you. Sent you the photo of the. One of the bears. Just got him recently on the arm and it, you know, sliced the sleeve on his arm. He kicked that bear, he said, and then he shot it. So he's a close quarters fighter. Man, this guy, he's, he's straight up hardcore.
- [07:41]
C
Well, of course, ambush. I think you agree Michael's the best way to hunt anything, frankly, from a number of points of view. But also, how's bear taste? I've. I've never eaten bear. I would, I've heard that it's pretty.
- [07:56]
A
Greasy and tough the way he cooked it. Like his was the best bear I've had actually, because it's. And I asked if we could. I told him, I said, masako and I'll buy a freezer if we can buy some bear. And he said no because he can't do it with his license. He can't sell the bear meat. But anyway, he served this bear meat and he cooked it with soy sauce and it was falling off the bone. It was very good. You know, a lot of bear. Well, you know, people like Daniel Boone and other survival people, they, you know that, you know, Daniel Boone, I got a good book on Daniel Boone right here, man. That dude used to hunt him with a musket, you know, of course you need your dogs and he had his buoy knife, right? And. But you know, but they love it because the bear meat has so much fat, especially at this time of year. And at this time of year their, their meat has a lot of fat. But that bear that we were just eating yesterday and he gave me what was left on the table. So I got it in the freezer right now. And the, but it was, it was very good. I mean, you know, some bear meat I've had is kind of greasy and tough if, if they don't know how to cook it. But this guy, you know, he's part bear. I think you can tell he loves the bears too. He's got a whole stack of bear skulls and everything about his house is bears and hogs and you know, he's got, he's got a bear at his house. He has a Bear. I mean, he actually has a bear, a living bear. I mean, I'm like, where'd you get the bear? You know, is it normal to have a bear? There he is.
- [09:24]
B
I finally got the picture of him. Sorry. It took me a while to find.
- [09:26]
A
I love this guy. He's starting to get famous now, I think, in Japan, because. Because now they have such a bear problem. And so another bear hunter came in and said, basically, he's my, like, you know, sensei, basically. I mean, he's like. I mean, everybody, like, the police have come to him and the Japanese Self Defense Force have come to him now to train them on how to get these bears. And so, you know, he's. So he's starting to train large numbers of people and. But the problem now is he does. He is a farmer, right? So he's got to run his farm. So when we showed up this time, it was, you know, he was working. Like, you know how farmers work. You're a farmer. And. And so. And he was doing that. And he took a break, took two hours with us this time. And I could tell he's getting antsy. He's got to get back to work or he's gonna not get to sleep till midnight. So. And. But, you know, and I asked him, I said, are you get. Are you able to keep up with your farm work? He goes, it's actually a problem now because, you know, I'm a farmer. And. But the problem is, like, just down the road from where we were at his house, the bears swiped the guy on the face the day before. So that's three days ago now. Right. Somebody from his village got hit by a bear right on the face. So he's so busy out here literally defending his community, he's having a hard time taking care of his farm. So that's when, you know, we launched that idea I talked with you about earlier, you know. Yeah, I. I think he needs some help with his farm. Michael. What?
- [10:52]
C
Listen, in Japan, the population is dropping fairly rapidly even while the bear population is expanding. What's going on in Japan? How do you. How do you read what the future is for Japan?
- [11:06]
A
The rewilding is quite real. And. And as you know, my wife, Masako, she knows all these top scientists who are working on the jabs, right? Like Dr. Yasumi Murakami and all them. I mean, they're calling her up almost every day. You know what I mean? She. She's like a Nexus. So I get to hear all the insight on what's going on with the Fatalities with the jabs. Dr. Mutakami, we had dinner with him recently. He, he said, I think he has about 29 million records now of jab records and over 600, 000 are dead from the jabs. And that's just Japan. That doesn't include fertility issues that they don't really know about, you know, because it's going to take some time to figure that out. And then there's many, many injuries and that sort of thing. And again, she's right in the middle of it. In fact about the day before we went with the bear hunter. So just a few days ago she was with another scientist, a professor who works closely with the discoverer of Ivermectin. And so, you know, he still researches that and related issues. And we're hearing it, you know, we're hearing all the inside scoop on stuff with the government and with the scientists and with doctors and it's bad, it's straight up bad. And likewise with Thailand. I got an interesting call from Thailand yesterday. Anyway, it, it's, it's not just the United States, it's not just Europe. Japan has been clearly is being depopulated. And the rewilding is quite real. You know, the rewilding is going on all over the world, whether it's Canada, whether it's, you know, like when I, I published something on rewilding on my sub stack the other day, I got messages from all around the world. South Africa, numerous from Canada, another bear hunter I know in Alaska. I, I mean I know him, he's, he's, you know, very interested in the bear hunting here. And he's telling me about, you know, the similar issues in Alaska. I know another bear hunter, old Green Beret friend of mine that I've been hunting with in, in West Virginia actually. You know, he's telling similar stories, these, these rewilding stories. By the way, when you go back to Europe, the wolves are, are quite intense. The last time I was in Netherlands, a wolf got hit like 500 meters from my hotel in a highway. Killed it. Right. So these wolves are killing the livestock. And every time it happens, like if you look in the German newspapers, like when I, I speak and read German, so when I'm over there I'll read their newspapers. But every time one of the wolves gets, you know, somebody's pony or something, they always blame the farmers. Just like here they're blaming the farmers for global warming. They're blaming, you know, they're blaming global warming, they're blaming the farmers for encroaching but in reality the farmers, most, a huge, I don't know about most, but a huge amount of the farm farms here are now fallow like these towns that we were going through yesterday and today actually they again, it looks like Appalachia. Like some of the towns are like ghost town. If you just changed to English from Japanese, you'd be like, this is some of these towns and you know, western North Carolina, east Tennessee or Virginia that, you know, this kind of, you know, you can tell that the economy is not doing so hot. You got a lot of people selling vegetables and fruits on the side of the road and a lot of the restaurants you can see got like vines growing on them and that sort of thing. It's very, very similar, but the farmers are dying off. The average farmer here now, what are they, 72 or 73, something like that, and in there and the young people are not going into the farming like the older ones, just like in the United States. And, and so now, you know, Japan just has no food security. This place is at severe risk, you know, with energy and with food. And I mean if, if they get into a war with China, they could be put into famine here lickety split. And Japan has a history of famines. They've had so many famines here. Masako found, I don't know, three or four years ago, she was looking through archives and she found, she thinks there's been about 1500 famines in Japan in the last about 500 years. And, but it's, it's, she's unclear on those numbers because it, the, the, the records become kind of vague. But that's, to be directionally accurate, it ain't a hundred, you know what I mean? It's the place that's filled with famines. It's not like all of Japan goes into famines. There'll be, you know, some part because of a volcanic eruption or, or that sort of thing. And, but there, there really is no food security. And, and, and the, as you know, many of the islands around the world have great populations now, very large populations that they never would have been able to, to sustain before the globalism that we all depend on actually. And so now, you know, they, they depend on these routes and resources moving. Masako and I were recently over in, in Thailand and we went up the Chao Praya river, which is like the Mississippi river of, you know, of Thailand. And I said, you know, if, if Japan goes into a famine, this is your lifeline, this river right here. That's why we were going up, we Took a. We rented our own boat, went from Bangkok up to a Utah is the old capital. And there's rice, you know, things all over the place. I know, actually, I know the old prime minister Abhit and I, we had tea with him one morning and to talk about these things. In fact, I wrote the last two pages of. Of one of his books and I titled his book. So. So we're having tea with that biscuit, you know, and I. And we were talking about that like Japanese don't have, you know, food security. And he goes, you know, the last time when Japan had the problem with the tsunami, he said that he offered Thai rice because, you know, the relationship between Thailand and. And Japan is very tight. You know, they're. They like. It's like a love affair almost, you know, and. And it has been like that for centuries, interestingly, by the way, you know, in the old days, Ayutia was the capital of Thailand, right? And now it's Bangkok. But in the old days it was Ayutia, which is way up the Chao Prayer river, like their Mississippi. And so there were old colonies up there. There were Dutch and there were Chinese and there were Portuguese, of course. They were always up to something. But there were some Japanese. There was a Japanese village there now. And there's actually a. A museum up there in a Utah for the Japanese village, which we went to it recently. And it's interesting because Masako, it's like a joke in their family that her brother looks Thai. And I said, well, there were the. The Japanese that were at Ayuta were from Luchu, which is Okinawa, right? They were from Okinawa. I mean, there's a real chance you're part Thai. I mean, you know, and the rice, the Thai rice whiskey that they have in Okinawa. A lot of the Okinawans, she said, it's been a mystery. Okinawan's joke. Why do we call it Thai rice whiskey when we're in Okinawa? Well, when you go to Luke, when you go to A Utia, you realize in there, in the museum, they're like, this is why. Because it, you know, they. They started bringing this whiskey from Thailand back to Luchu, which again is Okinawa now. It's fascinating, isn't it, how all this stuff combines. But that was old globalism where they could trade, you know, the same way we do now, but with smaller ships and they didn't have the pipelines, of course, the electrical lines and nuclear plants and all that.
- [18:47]
C
So you're going to stay in Japan for the next little while or the indefinite future. What Are your, what are your travel plans, Mike?
- [18:54]
A
For a while. I just got an interesting call yesterday from very serious person in Thailand. And you know, there's some things going on over there and I might get mosey on back over to Thailand, but we got to go over to Taiwan here shortly as well, hit Singapore and then probably I think we're going to hit Thailand. You know, Thailand has. A lot of people don't realize, you know, how much time I spend in Panama and, and, and, and, and I spend so much time there for obvious reasons. It's one of the most important places on earth. A lot of people don't realize, though. You do, I mean, that how important Thailand is. Thailand is the hyphen and Indo Pacific security. And, and so I mean it's, it's, it's extremely important. And Thailand is clearly being, it's on the chopping block. There's clearly people that want to rip Thailand to shreds and they're setting up all these drug stores all over the place. I mean, cannabis shops. Look at this. Like, I bought this in a, in a cannabis shop in Bangkok. This is a bong. This is a bong right here. And they, they got, They've got over 20,000 licenses now in the last less than four years for these for distribution, production. And you know, so. And, and this is one that I got from Kyoto in Japan. Look, look at this. In fact, they just found that Masako just messaged me. They, some Iranians just got arrested here in Japan with, with methamphetamines. And the pills apparently had little anime characters on them. So they're, I mean, they're marketing this stuff to the children, right, with goomy bears and all this crap. But Thailand, clearly, there are clearly people that want to rip Thailand to shreds, and they can do it. And that's why, you know, the Thais want to talk with me about this stuff because they know I watch it very closely. And, and, and it's clear that one of the main weapons that you're going to use is intoxicants. That's like the WMD again. I mean, all these books right here, that's how we killed the Indians right there. And the main weapon was not muskets. It was whiskey. It was firewater and debt traps. By the way, we use a lot.
- [21:09]
C
Of really interesting that, you know, when you talk about, we talk about pot. And the problem I have with pot, well, I'm of two minds. One is, hey, it's your body. You can do what you want with Your body. Okay, it's not very smart to cloud your mind with, you know, all kinds of drugs, but people do that, but it's their body. But what's going on in the world where SSRIs, of which there are a couple hundred, are screwing people's the way they think up. Pot today is really, really strong. It's not gentle anymore. All kinds of drugs. So is there kind of a worldwide drug epidemic to screw up the way people can think? So I can't think critically.
- [22:02]
A
That's one of the main weapons in warfare since forever. I mean, it's like when it comes again, information war is the highest form of warfare. And psychological operations is like, it's a subset. It's what it's, it's, it's in it the grease and the rocket fuel of psychological operations is intoxicants. It doesn't matter what they are, whether it's alcohol or whatever. Alcohol and opium, the two biggest ones historically are alcohol and opium, like opium. Opium's not as big in the United States now, but I mean, I got a whole section on opium here. Shoot. I got opium. You wouldn't believe all that. I don't have opium, but I've got the opium, old opium weights and stuff that are a couple hundred years old, several hundred years old. And the, and, and you know, they, in Thailand, they used to, they had their own sets of weights for opium. You know what they had, they had, you know, the kilos. They were selling it by the kilo. But what I'm getting to is opium has been a major weapon of, and keep in mind, you're always talking about people should use the gold standards. You shouldn't talk about dollars, you should talk about ounces of gold, right? And, and now keep in mind, one of the main monies and actual money, not fiat, is not just gold or silver, but has actually been opium. Opium has, has been a money in many countries in, in, you know, at different times. And so I wish I had thought that I was going to say this because of my other part of my library, but it's in a different room. I've got all the opium weights and some old stuff that would be of, of very serious interest. But, but that, but the, but opium is an actual money. You know, opium also, it has a long shelf life, right? Has a very long shelf life. And it's easy. And the value density is quite, you know, it's very, you know, that much opium is worth a lot of money. That much tomato not worth that much. Right? And, and, and so, you know, when I was in Afghanistan and I was looking into the opium quite a lot then, and I. And I. In fact, I ended up having lunch with Barry McCaffrey, you know, the old drug czar.
- [24:11]
C
I hate Barry McCaffrey.
- [24:12]
A
Yeah, you told me before, and we almost.
- [24:16]
C
I'm not going to say it was, but it was an immediate dislike. I never told you about that, did I?
- [24:22]
A
No, you told me. I remember. Yeah. No, I remember.
- [24:25]
C
Is my assessment correct of him or not? You tell me.
- [24:28]
A
He's pretty confident. And so. So he wanted to meet me, actually. So I flew back and I, you know, I met with him a couple times, had lunch with him a couple times, and. And so. But anyway, the second trip, though, I was asking him about the. About the opium. I said, listen, you know, I'm back from Afghanistan, and we got a lot of opium over there. It's like wizard of Oz. I mean, what's going on? I mean, and the opium's, like, so close to the bases, you can hit it with a rock. And I mean, like, really, you can. From the perimeters of our bases, you can literally spit on the opium. It's right there. And. And it's like undulating fields of it in some places, right? I'm like, hey, the Taliban didn't have this crap, you know what I mean? And. And why do we, you know, in Afghans anyway? Mystery there, huh? So I fly back and I go to Washington, and I asked Barry McCaffrey, like, you know, what do we do about this stuff? He goes, well, you know, you know about Thailand. Thailand was able to put a. You know, was able to fight the opium successfully. And the way that they did it. Then he told me some of how they did it. And so he said, you should. You should go back to Thailand and research it. So I did. I flew back to Thailand. I happen to know one of the King's old buddies. His name was Mc Pisa Debt. He's in his 80s, and he was a old Siri Thai member. Siri Thai means free Thai. Of course, Thai. Thai means free as well. But. So Siri Tai were like old sort of Jedburgh teams or whatever that we were training to fight the Japanese. So we were training them and inserting them back into Thailand. He was one of those guys, right, in the old days. So anyway. But he was also a good friend of King Rama the Ninth, And King Rama the ninth did not like drugs in his kingdom. And. And so King Rama ix, well, he, you know, MCP said, was part one of the guys who did what's called the royal projects, which are an incredible success in Thailand. But one of the things that they did was they, they sent all the farmers and scientists out there to these hill tribe people that were growing the opium. And of course that opium is very good for funding a war because the value chain, you know, as you know, it's not worth a lot there. But every time you sell opium, if, you know, tomatoes, okay, I got a tomato and I sell the tomato and that's it, and it's, it's the end of the road. But opium, it just, next thing you know, it's been sold on the streets of London, you know, and you know what I mean, you keep reselling it at a much higher price. It's, it's a totally different game. And so, but so what they did was they, they in Thailand, they found what grows best in different places, like coffee. Like, some Thai coffee didn't used to grow up in those hill tribes. Now Thai, Thailand's got some of the best coffee in the world because they found that cough. Those hill tribe people don't drink coffee. I spent a lot of time with the hill tribe people. They, but they started growing coffee because the king said, hey, we'll help you grow coffee and we'll send people out there, we'll build roads for you. We'll, we will buy your coffee at a better price than the opium. And of course, you know, for the people that still want to grow opium, then, you know, you can address the army because our green berets were up there with the CIA helping them, right? They were, I mean, they were, they were actually, you know, getting into a lot of gunfights and stuff. So it was a silver or lead thing, but mostly it was, it was, it was, you know, so that's why when I'm up in North Thailand, I'm always buying flowers from the old ladies and stuff that are selling them. Because I learned from going to the royal projects, they gave me private tour, right? I'm like, so all these flowers that they're selling everywhere in, in Thailand are coming from the royal projects. So if I buy these flowers, I'm basically keeping opium off the streets. Is that accurate? He's like, MCP said, that's like, that's true. So at that point, I just started buying flowers all the time. Like old lady walking by, I'm like, oh, I'll take those. And I just hand them, I buy them and hand, hand them to some other lady walking by, you know, I was just like, you know, get My good feeling for the day that I did something. But. But they did. They. They fought the opium down, you know, they fought it down hard by. By helping them transition to things like coffee, to things, various fruits. If they have a resilience museum near Bangkok we went to last year, and it shows because Thailand. One of the. One of the reasons Thailand is so interesting to me is they are extraordinarily resilient. The something about the Thai mind is like, bamboo. I started calling them bamboo people because you can just like hit them with a tsunami and there's like, knock them down and there's like, right back up again. I mean, I got into shootouts with them during the fighting in 2010 and 2014. I mean, people were getting killed, right? Like a lot. And like there were thousands of casualties, right? And hundreds of deaths, right? And that's why the last two pages I wrote of Abhissit's book, somebody claimed that he was involved in. So anyway, so. But the. But. But I was in a lot of firefights out there where they were getting killed around me. And the ties, they're not like, hey, it's, you know, it was bad. They got killed or whatever. And I need to see a psychologist. They're like, okay, it's. It's like the Lion King. It's in the past. You know what I mean? They're like instant recovery. I love them. I was like, man, you could sell your blood for resilience. You know what I mean? But the Thai king, Rama the ninth was always teaching Thai people, you must be resilient. You should not depend on the government. We're going to help you as we can. You must depend on yourself, your family, your village. You have to depend. You need to have a fish pond. You need to have your own garden. You need to have your own water buffalo and your own cows, right? And that's why Thailand. And they save in gold. Thailand is a gold country. They got their own gold standard. So that's why they call it, as, you know, Teflon Thailand. Something bad happens to Thailand and they're just like, everybody's got gold at home. If you ask a waitress in Thailand what's the gold price, they're going to know. As you know, Doug, you've been in Thailand a lot.

No argument for me, Michael. I mean, listen, I'm in Argentina right now, and it's the. At the antipodes of Thailand in geographically, I mean, it's totally the opposite through the center of the earth and culturally and every way. But I mean, I wound up in Argentina or in Uruguay, but I very nearly wound up in Thailand because I like Thailand so much. Even though they're totally opposite culturally in every other way.
- [31:07]
B
You know, Michael, what you're talking about Thailand being under attack. Did you wonder if this, I don't know, you heard about all these bank accounts in Thailand that got frozen a few months ago.
- [31:17]
A
Was that Vietnam or Thailand?
- [31:19]
B
Vietnam did, had. Had it with. Associated with the digital ID. But then there were 3 million accounts that were frozen in Thailand, you know, that they, they called. I think that they were, they claimed they were associated with, you know, illicit activity or whatever. But 3 million is a big number. And I just, that headline got me and you know, it's such a big number. And I wonder if that somehow falls into this mix of you saying Thailand being under attack in some way.
- [31:45]
A
Thailand's clearly going into the globalist sphere. That's clear. And I just, I could talk for hours about it, you know, and of course, as you can imagine, the kind of people that I can call and have tea with, like ex prime minister who, who might be the next prime minister. I don't think he will, but he might. In fact, when we were having tea, he asked me not to say it at the time. But then a few days later he announced it, he may. And you know, he's going back into politics. So now I can say it because he and I message to him, I'm like, well, I just saw you just said it. So he, there's a chance he might end up being a prime minister again. But, but you know, he's, you know, and, you know, I've talked with him about this. He's totally in the globalist game. You know what I mean? He's. Let me, let me be clear about that. We've talked about this before. We are products of globalism. The whole United States is a product of globalism. That's. We were born out of globalism in our country, right? So I'm not against globalism per se. I'm. What I'm. I mean, how do we get all these computers we're talking on? You know what I mean? I mean, we couldn't have the life that we live now without globalism. But it's not the globalism per se. It's the global elite that all want to be kings and they want to basically own the forest. And, you know, you're not going to be able to hunt deer in their forest. You're gonna have to, you know, they want slaves. They want the.
- [33:08]
B
You Will own nothing and be happy crowd.
- [33:11]
A
That's it. They want to be there. That's it. Highly narcissistic. They got a narcissistic gravitational field and they've really pulled in the most severe narcissist that they can. A good thing about that is they can't trust each other. But they are all amazingly greedy. That's the kind of people that they're, you know, that's why, that's why there's so many bears here. That's why there's some. The wolves are going because it's part of their game to depopulate us. The whole death jabs, the fiat money, that's obviously, you know, I mean, the United States dollar, obviously, I can't believe it's still even alive. But, you know, as you know, it's just, at some point it'll be over and, and, and, and all. So many mechanisms, digital IDs, I mean, they're talking, I mean, we're, we are being genocided. It's straight up. It's very obvious. And by the way, the borders are still open. Trump is just handing out visas now. You know, he's handing out visas, record.
- [34:12]
B
Numbers of visas for his, for his organization alone, you know, for the Trump Organization this year.
- [34:18]
A
Actually, Masako and I had dinner with several people in Thailand a couple months ago, and one of them had just come in from Houston. He's half tired. He's Thai citizen, an American citizen, and he's a software guy. And he said, I'm, he said, I would rather live in Houston, but I lost my job to an Indian. And he said all the American, because he's American, Thai, he's got an American passport. But he said he's coming back to Thailand looking for a software job now. He said all the Americans in, in, in Texas, all the software people are losing their jobs, all of them. And so, you know, that's it. I mean, it's game one. Trump is, you know, it seems like you're surprised by Trump. I am absolutely not surprised at all. And look at my predictions, they're unbelievable. I'm gonna start bragging about them at this point. I mean, you should.
- [35:11]
B
And you were right about Trump in the very beginning. You're right about him always the entire time. I totally agree and totally agree with that. No doubt.
- [35:19]
A
He's easy to predict. He's simple to predict. You know, you can spot yourself and you can spot your opposite in people. You can, people that you're very similar to, you can sense it, right? And people that you're very opposite to, you can sense it, the people in between. It can be confusing. But he's my opposite. He's like, I can see his X ray, I can see his bones. Because he is my opposite, right? He's the photo negative of me. So all I have to do is go, what would I do? And pick the opposite. And that's what he does. I mean, it's amazing. I mean, the guy is a traitor, you know, I mean, he's straight up. If you, if your paradigm is accurate and your input information is sufficiently pure and you, and you keep the mud out and, and you've got the right information, you should be able to successfully predict, you know, much better than, than the experts, right? Like how, how did Masako and I go find a bear hunter here two years ago? And I published about it, we published about it at the time. And people are like, why are you with the bear hunter? I'm like, I don't know, just wait and see. And now look, that's a, you know, because you can actually see it if you're paying. You can feel the vibration in the spider web. But Trump is an actual traitor. He's an American citizen. He's, he's a U.S. citizen. He's not an American like me. He's not an American like you. He. And you're having a hard time predicting what he's going to do because I think your paradigm is not, you've got sufficient information to make. I just think that I'm guessing because I'm not a psych. We're all psychologists, actually. We just don't have the PhDs. Even our dogs are psychologists. But, but, I mean, but, but, but if, if you, if you, if your paradigm is accurate and your input information is sufficient, you should be able to predict pretty well. And my predictions on Trump are unbelievably accurate. And they go back 10 years. You know, Newt Gingrich called up, called me up about 10 years ago when I was in my office in Thailand and he was trying to get up support for Trump, you know, in that first election. How long ago was that before the first election? And I said to him, I'm like, how'd you get my number? But in any case, I'm not going to vote for Trump. I'm not going to vote for any, I'm not going to vote for some Clinton or any of those other people either. You got to have somebody better, I mean, than Trump. I don't trust him. I'm never going to trust him. I, everything about him just radiates snake. He's always telling the story of the snake. He's telling you who he is. He. He tells you exactly who he is. He's like, here I am, I'm going. I'm going to destroy you. And. And he's telling you, and there's nothing. Look, he's pushing the jab. This is November of 2025. And yet people will still say, well, Fauci fooled him. You know, he felt he fooled you.
- [38:09]
B
Trump fooled me, and he did. Before his trip to Asia, he went to the doctor and he officially got his booster for Covid. That's what was reported.
- [38:20]
A
So he's committing genocide. He's committing genocide. It's true.
- [38:24]
C
I mean, almost everything he does is stupid and destructive. Like, it was so nice when Doge existed. There was. It seemed like, to those of us who are naive, that there might have been cause for help. But now Doge has disappeared and he's spending money like a drunk sailor.
- [38:40]
A
Get gator. Alligators do alligator stuff. No matter how much I pet the alligator and say, nice puppy, nice puppy, it's still going to bite my arm off, you know, nice bear. Good, good, good bear, good puppy, you know, and then I'm dead. And Trump, you, he's being nice to him is not going to work. You know, when I just got. I just got invited over to Mar a Lago, right? Like, I could be there right now, this weekend for some crap, right? I'm not going. I'm not going to step foot in that place, right? I mean, it's like, you know, you got to be kidding. I mean, this is, you know, look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, it's really obvious who shot Charlie Kirk? It was the Zionist. Charlie Kirk was a Zionist. He's a Christian Zionist. When you're dancing with snakes, don't be surprised if you get bit in the face, right? And that's what happened. I mean, he got, you know, that's why I don't. I don't have anything. Listen, I've been with all those people. Like, you know, back in my old days when I was doing war correspondence stuff, I was in a small room with Netanyahu. I was with the Israeli ambassador in the United States. I was with those guys. I was with Paul Wolfowitz having dinner and things like that. I was all around these guys a lot, having dinner with their billionaires and stuff, right? And that's when I started figuring out, wait a minute, I'm just a boy from Florida. Suddenly all these people Want to talk to me, because I have millions of followers, because my war works, right? So suddenly I'm an influencer. But I got that organically. I didn't get it by, you know, somebody boosting it, right? And so, you know, I got it because I would do so much combat. That's why I got it, because nobody would do combat like I did. If they did, they probably got killed, I mean, because it was really that dangerous. And so. So I built millions of readers, right? And Bruce Willis wanted to do a movie and all this stuff, right? So, I mean, so what I'm getting to. That's why I got to know those people. And that's when they kept telling me about, let's go, Iran's doing this, Iran's doing that. And I'm like. Like, these EFPs explosively form projectiles, right? The. The explosively form projectiles, it's a. It's a type of ied, right? They kept saying, these are super high tech. They come from Iran, and these are the things that are killing so many of our troops. I've been in ambushes with EFPs, right? Like, one of the ambushes I was with, with British that we got hit with, like, 36 of them, I think I published this. Killed the guys behind me, actually, and blew them to pieces, right? So, I mean, but so they were saying that these EFPs were high tech. They could only come from Iran. Let's see. I learned how to make EFPs when I was about 20 years old in Greenberry Explosive school, right? It took about, I don't know, five hours, right? That's how high tech they are. You need some copper into my explosive and do some math. And then you got your efp, right? The hard part's getting the trigger, right? But I was all over the Iranian border, and I was out with British forces a lot. I was out with American forces a huge amount. I was out with Afghan forces. I mean, I'm sorry. Well, them too, on the other side. But I was out with Iraqi forces, I was out with Kurdish forces. And I was asking them constantly, are you capturing any EFPs or copper coming in from Iran? They're like, no, we're catching a lot of whiskey. And that's. They were catching a lot of whiskey and stuff. And so there's a lot of whiskey smuggling going on. And that's like, what about weapons? Are you getting a lot of ammunition? Like, no, but I mean, the explosives are coming from the serious side. That was fertilizer stuff, right? So in other words, you know, and I'm with all the right people, right? So then I asked Petraeus, I said, listen Dave, I've been all over the border and, and I've talked with everybody under the sun and Nobody sees any EFPs coming from. So then I asked him, the man, the four star general in charge of the war, are we capturing any EFPs coming in from Iran? He said, actually no, but we think that they're coming in. I'm like, it's all over the news that they're definitely coming in and that's why we need to go attack Iran, right? So then, you know, then I'm running around Israel and I'm meeting all these people and stuff and I'm back in Washington with all these people and spending a lot of time with them. Then I go over to Afghanistan, something I just put on my sub stack today. I put a photo up today of one of my old green bright friend that I, my partners that I went to the Q course with. He then became a big contractor in, in the Afghan war, right? So he built a lot of water infrastructure and whatnot. In Afghanistan. He built the Runway for, for Camp Bastion. I was there when the first C130 landed. You know, I've been all over these wars, right? So I was there and I just put this on my sub stack today. He, my friend built, was contracted by the United States. He built this, he built this infrastructure that you could use to cut off water to Iran. So I'm there and you can see Iran's in the news right now, right? They're going dry. Iran's going dry. And some of it's probably, almost certainly geoengineering, like, you know, weather modification, right? Which is a very real thing that is absolutely not conspiracy theory as absolutely real and it has been for generations and it's very good now. But that water infrastructure, as soon as it, I was there at the grand opening, I was in a, I was in a district in Nimrus province, which is right next to Pakistan and Iran border. I mean, this is wild country. It makes Darien Gap look like a, a park. You know what I mean? This is like, no kidding, these are crazy people country. I mean the Baluch people I'm out with, you know, the, the, I'm there at the grand opening. My friend built the infrastructure. I put a photo on my substack today. They closed the water off to Iran. No sooner did they open it and you know what happened the next day, Boom. Iran started shooting rockets at US Right. And they hit Zaranj. They hit that, which is the capital of Nimmerus Province. And so, I mean, they, you know, immediately they started shooting missiles back, right? Because I remember, like, when we turn this water off, are they going to like, shoot missiles at us? You know what I mean? Because it seems like a. A war type idea, right? So. So there. And. And they did actually shoot missiles. And then. And then, you know, then right now you've also got the Taliban cutting off other water routes in different parts of Afghanistan. So I mean, the Baluch, that's the Baluch people down in Nimrous. And Nimrous, it's like, I don't know, say. I'm gonna guess like 98 Baluch people. Right? And Baluch people are another. They're sort of like Kurds. They. They don't have their own country, you know, and so. But there's a huge amount of them. And I think probably Israel and the United States are using the Baluch people and the Kurdish people. I mean, let's say. I would bet 10 to 1 odds. No, let's give it 20 to 1 odds that the United States is using Baloch people and Pashtun people to do sabotage inside of Iran. Of course, Iran knows that. That's why they kicked out a bunch of Pashtun people and a bunch of Baluch people out of Iran. And, but the, but, you know, you know, and the Baluch people and the, and the, you know, Pashtun people, they're watching the Chinese down at water. And it's all about routes and resources, right? All these wars are about routes and resources. And, you know, at the end of the day, the war with Iran is all about routes and resources. I've got some of these old books here from the 1700s that are talking about that same area in the Caspian Sea trying to take. The British are out there doing their original reconnaissances and all this stuff. You know, it's because there's that route from Russia to Iran. And, and, well, you know, you know.
- [46:10]
B
We were just there, actually. Doug and I were just in Azerbaijan a few weeks ago. I don't know if you know that. And it was very interesting. Some of the most interesting things was the infrastructure build that was going on there was unbelievable, you know, and I mean, we saw these new highways that they had built through this very rough mountain terrain. And, you know, it's the corridor.
- [46:33]
A
It's the corridor they're building. I think that Trump. What's it called? The trip.
- [46:37]
B
It'll connect to the Trip Corridor Yeah, the Trump connect to that. Yeah.
- [46:41]
A
So it'll.
- [46:42]
C
Michael, how do you, how do you think this is going to play out in Iran? Apparently the news says they have a real crisis in Tehran. So what's going to happen? How's this going to play out? Do you have a. I don't know.
- [46:54]
A
Of course the Iranians have a lot of people in, they have some here in, in Japan actually, but they have a lot of people in Venezuela. They have a lot of people in Canada. I mean, they can easily diaspora out, right? And so they'll, I mean, if they don't have water, I mean, they're gonna have to move. And, and, and again, this is all about routes and resources. It's about controlling the Caspian route. It's about, you know, the trip route there. It's about Strait of Hormuz, of course. I mean, ultimately, if you can get control of Strait of Hormuz and obviously the Suez Canal, that's why Israel even exists as a Suez Canal, right? And the Baba Mandab and all that. I mean, if you. Israel is a giant aircraft carrier, the only reason it even exists is so we could get control of the Suez Canal. That's why Israel even exists. It has nothing to do with the homeland for Jewish people. That's a whole absolute psyop, right? The, the, you know, when the Suez Canal opened in 1869, that became what they would call at the time the spinal cord of the British Empire, right? And the British are like, some of the, some of the English did not want to open the Suez Canal. They didn't want it to because they said Egypt is going to take it. We're going to end up in a war with France and, and this, this could be, this could break our back, right? And they ended up being right, actually. And so the, I mean, the Egyptians did take it and, but they didn't end up in a big war with France, but they ended up with France fighting a war against, you know, how that one went anyway. But the, the reason that Israel exists now is because, listen, let's go back to the Indians. Let's go back to what we did, how we got control of the Indians, right? The way we got control of the Indians was and it took centuries. We're still working on it, right? And one of the things that we did was move populations around. We would like plow up one population and move this population in, right? This stuff has been done for, I don't know how long. I mean, at a minimum, many centuries, right? I mean, the Romans did It, everybody just plowing up one population. I've got one book here about swapping the, the Bulgarians and the Turkish and the Greeks. Swapping populations. Like you take these guys, you take those guys, right? It's a book from 1934. They're, it's, it's their whole detailed plans on how to swap these populations around, you know, and this is normal, this is day to day stuff. So what happened in the eight. Go ahead.
- [49:24]
B
Sorry. I was gonna say. So you're thinking that they're trying to basically cause a problem in Iran so that they get, they push Iranians out and probably also cause, you know, internal dysfunction. That where, where then it makes, it makes it fall apart on its own.
- [49:42]
A
And eventually you can end up taking. Now, you know, ultimately, because these people aren't making five year plans. Five year plans are for children, right? These people are making plans that go over the horizon centuries, right? They're thinking these, these processes, these are process wars. These are not events, these are processes. Like how we got the Indians. You've heard of the five civilized Tribes, right? The five Civilized Tribes. I mean, nobody knows how many tribes we had in America. It was a lot, right? And the, you know, the, the five civilized Tribes were the five tribes that would accepted Christianity nominally.
- [50:19]
C
I can't remember the others.
- [50:20]
A
It was Cherokee, Choctaw Creek and Chicken, Chickasaw and Seminole, right? And so, and so they, and, and they. Nominally, it was because they took Christianity. In reality, it was because they paid taxes. And I've got the actual. Oh yeah, I've got the 1890 census right here. I've got the 1890 census. I wish I would have pulled these out. Oh yeah, I've got the 1890 census right here. I'm sorry, I'm rearrange, I'm rearranging stuff right now. But the 1890 census is a census for the, for the taxed and untaxed Indians and the taxed and untaxed Indians, right? And so let me tell you what we did, because this is exactly what we did, or the British did. And then we took the ball with Israel, right? So this is what we did. We have what's called the Daz Rolls. And the Daz Rolls, I got all those books here, but they're, they're. I've been moving stuff around. But the Dodge rolls, oh, this is the Dos Rolls right here. This is the original. Oh, and here's the exchange of minorities. Bulgaria, Greece and, and Turkey there. It's just telling you how to do it, man. This is like how to do it, this is how you do it legally. This is how you take their land and this is how you fool them and all this stuff. Anyway, let's go back to how we, how we processed and took the Indians. It took centuries, right? And so what we did was we, we wanted certain lands. Of course we move, you know, the Trail of Tears, move a bunch to Oklahoma and that sort of thing and then found oil out there. So that didn't go as planned. And then, and then, but, but what, what, what they did was at some point there was the Dawes act in 1887, 1888, the Dawes Act. Basically they were going to give land back to the Indians, the civilized tribes, the ones who adopted Christianity. And so they did this big census which I have here and gosh, I wish I could get my hands on it. And, and it's amazing. And the, the census though is very detailed, super detailed. Like the census. I saw them doing Takuna Indians in Imbara and is like right out of that book. Right. And, and, and so they, they did a census and they, and the Dawes act was to set conditions to get the Indians to go back to your, your land. You'll get, you'll get 165 acres I think it was. If you're back on the reservation and can prove that you're going to stay there, they're going to give you 165 acres, right? And in free land. Right. Now I'm. This is the actual Dawes rolls right here. This is, this is it. So if your name is in here, you could get 165 acres, right? And so your blood quantum and all that. So this is so somebody kindly, way back in the old days, because this is original in the old days somebody actually broke it down. This tab is for Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee and Creek. But they didn't Seminole, they didn't, they don't have any. But the, so here's this random page here, page 317. Here's Jefferson Trent, 16 year old male, he's 1 8th blood. And this is in the, this is, this is Cherokee. And, and so he's 1 8, 1/8 of his blood is Cherokee. So his census card number is 5396. So he's going to be able to get some land. Right. Because he could prove that he was on there. I've got another letter here. Oh, let me read you this one. This is important because this is exactly, this is the same time frame that we did. And, and, and, and and we did the same thing very similar with. With Israel, right? Very similar. So if you go over there, you can get you some free land. Now, that's why a lot of. A lot of. Of Scott Irish people like me, my descent is my Scott Irish. In my culture, a lot of Scott Irish think they're part Cherokee. Like, I was taught that I'm part Cherokee, right? And so. But before the Dawes act and before the Dawes rolls, Scott Irish weren't going to say they were Cherokee or Chickasaw, Christ Creek or any of that. They're like, I'm not an Indian. Are you crazy? But as soon as you could get that land, okay, I'm part Cherokee. So most of the you. You find Scott Irish people tell you all the time I'm part Cherokee, and a few will say Choctaw or whatever, but usually it's Cherokee. Like, I was told I was Cherokee, and I checked it out later when I became able to research things like that, and unfortunately, it's not true. So. But anyway. But here's a. Here's a person right here. I bought this letter. I found it on ebay. This is somebody who's actually applying to get land. And so this is the actual letter from the Department of the Interior commissioned to the Five Civilized Tribes, Muskogee, Indiana and Territory. Indiana Territory, actually. And it's got the. Well, here. Here it is. So here's the actual letter, right? And. And look. Look at the. Look at the address. It's just got the name and the town.
- [55:42]
C
Yeah.
- [55:43]
A
Now I'm going to read you the letter. This is interest. What we did in Israel. So this is to Ms. M.A. shaw Jewel, Alabama. Right. So this is interesting. This is what we did in Israel. Very similar anyway, which I've got all those books right here on that shelf, actually. What we did in Israel. And so here it is. Department of the Interior Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes. I bought this on ebay, man. It's original, it's unbelievable, and you never know what you can get there. I was like, well, let's look and see if there is such a thing that I could get. And sure enough. So right here. Here it is. Ms. M.A. shaw Jewel, Alabama Madame. Okay, hold on. The date this is April 23, 1901. And. And it's from Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, April 23, 1901. So Ms. M.A. shaw Jewel, Alabama Madame, receipt is hereby acknowledged of your letter of recent date relative to your citizenship of and the Cherokee Nation. So she's applying. She wants her land. Right. Suddenly she's saying, I'm an engine, right? You are advised in reply that the tribal roles of the Cherokee Nation, which I just showed you, they might have been holding this actual copy of the book. It was this book. They were looking in this book to see if she's in there. Because if you're not in that book, you're not going to get the land. Right? So it said. So it says, you are advised in reply that the tribal roles of the Cherokee Nation in the possession of the Commission and now Michael Yan have been examined in your name, not found of record thereon. And my name's not in there either, unfortunately. And the Commission is without authority to hear and determine original applications for citizenship at the present time. Your attention is invited to the following. Anyway, it's basically saying, we, I mean, if you, you know, contest this, we can't accept it here. You'll have to do it through other mechanisms. But you also have to have lived on the reservation already for a certain amount of time and prove that you've lived there and you have an intent to stay, right? Then you can get your. That's how they collected the Indians back up and taxed them, right? How did we do it with Israel? Same Theodore Herzl, with his book 1897. He, in 1897 with this book, you know, about going, you know, getting their homeland and all that. That was a British intelligence operation. And that's all it was because they wanted control of the Suez Canal. And so they needed a population to go in there to get control of the Suez Canal. So suddenly you've got people like Meakovsky who says, ah, I'm Jew, right? It's like, you know, so it changes his name to Netanyahu, right? You know, these guys are whiter than I am, saying that they're a Semite, right? You're. You're straight up Polish, Russian or whatever, you know, but suddenly I'm a Cherokee. And all the, you know, that's what happened with a lot of the people. They ended up moving to Israel for their free land. But it was not about a homeland for the Jews. That's a psyop. And another part of the psyop, the Scofield Bible, is to persuade millions, tens of millions of Americans, Christians. The biggest pie chart of Zionists is American Christians that we got to defend them because they're God's children. And if you don't defend them, you're going to burn in hell or something. Schofield Bible, another psyop. It's a complete psyop I grew up in the middle of that psyop, right? And it was all about routes and resources. It was all about. And that's what we did to the Cherokee. It's, it's just, it's the same story over. All over the world, right? The British with the Rohingya. It's a long, long list. Nobody even knows how many names are on that list. Cultures that were moved around, terraforming.
- [59:35]
B
So what do you, what do you make of what's happening in Venezuela and how that fits into the whole mix.
- [59:41]
A
Right now, by the way, by the way. And this is an original. This is a share in the Yuda Shisht Palestine. It's a, this is original. I bought it and had it framed. So this is. Theodore Herzl's name was on here. Theodore Herzl is the father of Zionism. Right? Allegedly. Right. Theodore Herzl and some other names are here, right? So this is it. Yudisha Colonial Trust. And it's in German, but yeah, this is total, this is a total op. Or keep in mind the way that we, the way that we colonized was with companies, right? You know, like, like my, my family, like the Jamestown. Yeah, my family came over to Jamestown with the Virginia Company in 1609. They're in a book, the Easons, right. They came and they got shipwrecked on Bermuda. That's why Bermuda is part of the British colony of British. Or it became a British protectorate, right, because of the shipwreck that my family was on. But they finally made it to Jamestown in 1610. Right. So this was the same in Panama when, like the Scottish went there in the 1816, 90s and they went bankrupt and got absorbed by England and, you know, 1707 and, and you know, the Articles of Union. And that's why, you know, there were all these companies, they would set up companies, sell stock. Basically, we're going to go to Mars, give me some money and go with SpaceX and we'll make a colony. So they're making these colonies all over the world, whether it was in Japan, whether, wherever it was at. It didn't work well in Japan, but it worked well in India. It worked well. East India Company, you know what I mean? Worked in Indonesia, worked all over the world except for Japan. Didn't work too well. It didn't work too well in Thailand. It worked okay. But at the end of the day, this was just another one of those companies and it was just set up to do that to take control of the Suez Canal and And to help control that region. That's all it's about. It has nothing to do the Jews that are there and the fake Jews that are there. They are useful idiots in combat for the Suez Canal and now the gas off of Gaza and control of the, you know, Indo European corridor and the Benguran Canal, if they ever open it. But I mean, it's all about routes and resources. Venezuela, you ask, it's all about routes and resources. China, Russia, Iran, all have close relationships with Venezuela. They're all helping them with drone technology and that sort of thing. Venezuelans are very rich, as you well know, right. They're not a bunch of poor people, right? They have a bunch of poor people, but they're not a bunch of poor people. They have a lot of money, they have a lot of energy. As you know, Guyana, right next door has a lot of money. We. There's a regional war unfolding there, right? You see, there's things going on in Haiti most people don't even know about. Now. There's all kinds of things going on in the region. We've got our people all over Panama now starting to pick up action. They're asking me about stuff now. You know, they're clearly prepping. The conditions are being set for a big battle over Panama. And by the way, the battle, the battles that are unfolding like down in Venezuela, I'm sorry, down in Argentina now, you know, when I came to Argentina, one of the things that Masako and I went to was that dope expo. That tells me a lot right there. Of course, China has, you know, concession on the port there in Buenos Aires and yada, yada, right? And, and we, we took that train that, you know, they're building. They have that little electric model train up there that for that corridor across it. This is all about the same stuff. And the same players are fighting in Panama and in Argentina. It's Zionist versus versus Chinese more than anybody else. There's other players. They're not the only ones. But a big battlefront is between Zionists and I don't mean Jews. I'm talking this thing that's Zionist, right?
- [63:30]
B
Most of the scientists is Zionist. Would you say it's the same as the globalist elite people? Is that the same?
- [63:38]
A
They're part of it, okay? They're part of it. Because there is. The globalist elite are, you know, nobody seems to quite keep in mind what's going on now is an architecture. It's not like it's been going on for centuries. I don't even Know where it started? Arguably, you could say, I don't know, started in 1415, right? I mean, in 1415, the Portuguese hit Suta, right? And they took Suta. And the Portuguese were the big. They were the original gangsters when it came to real globalism outside the Med. You know, not walking them with camels or something, you know, across Asia and horses and all that. When it came to real globalism with real ships, you know, there was, you know, Prince Henry the Navigator and all that, coming up with better ways to navigate and building better ships. And the next thing you know, the Portuguese. The Portuguese. And this is interesting. I'm going to go somewhere important with this, because this is still part of the globalist architecture. Now, the Portuguese were the original real globalist. 1415, they attacked Suta, right? And Suta is still actually a Spanish colony. Now, that means that's Africa. That's in Moroccan. That's an enclave in Morocco. I went there some years ago, about three or four years ago, I went to the Moroccan side. And, you know, the suit is, you know, basically a little. Know, little almost fortress there in Morocco. But it's Spanish. It's the EU and. And Malia as well. Not far away. But the. But so the reason that Suta is there and still is that enclave is because of that 1450 intact. So then time unfolds and. Hold on just a second time unfolds, you're gonna like this time unfolds. And I. I'm a globalist man. I love globes. And I mean, look at this globe. This is the oldest known existing globe. It's called the aired Apple. Not this one. This is a. This is only a couple hundred years old. But the aired Apple, right? The aired Apple was believed to have been come into existence in maybe 1490, 1494. Not sure this is actually glass, but the. But there's no North America on here, no South America on here. So this is the aired apple globe. Aired Apple in southern Germany and Austria, Switzerland. It means. It means earth apple. It means potato. Nobody knows where it got that name. Anyway, that's what it's called. So this was the globe they had back then, and it's the oldest known existing globe. This is a. Obviously a model of it. It's called the aired apple. So you can find one of these, and it'll be pretty expensive. But I love globes and I like to look at them a lot. So. And. But they aired Apple globe. So this is what they had back then. So now let's rewind in 1415 Portugal goes for suta. Now Portugal suddenly has, you know, they're going at it, they're getting a lot of gold and silver, right? And they're the only gangsters doing it because Spain hasn't woken up on the Iberian Peninsula yet. They had just beaten back the Muslims and all that, right? They've done that in recent times. So now we get to 1492 and we all know what happened there. Spain gets involved. So 1492, Mr. Columbus sailed the ocean blue. And this was, you know, high technology back then. They didn't even know north and South America existed. I mean, Columbus came over and bumped into Cuba and thought he found a Japan, you know. And so now this gets really interesting and it still affects us today in a big way. Now the, in, in 1494, the pope, Alexander VI said, wait a minute, my boys, the Spanish and the Portuguese, who are both Catholics, so they're sub. They're under me, right? They're both Catholic. He doesn't want them to fight. So he does. The Treaty of Tordesillas, which I actually have here, and the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, he draws a line. Boom. And that line said, spain, this is yours. Portugal, this is yours. So he divided the world into two, right? That's why Brazil speaks Portuguese today, because it was on that side of the line, right? And the other side, they're speaking mostly Spanish because of that 1490, because the Pope was the big time, he was the larger architecture. So Spain, you know, at that point, Portugal was the bigger globalists. Spain would obviously overtake them considerably later. But they were both under that Pope, right? And so that's important. And then about 30 years later, as they kept mapping out the world more, they found Japan over here and all that stuff. He did another treaty, right? And, and, and that treaty then made Japan here part of Portugal territory, right? That's why the Portuguese ended up here. And they ended up being called the non bond, the Southern barbarians. They were doing their inquisition over in Goa, which I've got one of the original Inquisition books actually here. I mean, they're going at it, they're burning people alive. The Japanese are like, we don't want you savages here. I mean, you, you know, that's why they called them Nanban Southern. But so for a while it was the Spanish and the Portuguese had their go at the world. And the Spanish, their idea with, with Japan was they were going to conquer Japan. And because the Spanish thought they could actually infringe on the Portuguese, they were going to Conquer Japan, make Japanese into an army, and then conquer China with the Japanese army. But then they soon found that the Japanese, they'll cut us to pieces. They'll do worse than those bears, right? So Spanish backed off of that idea and. And the Portuguese this. And. But the. The Japanese ended up kicking the Portuguese out. The Dutch come in, yada, yada. Anyway, what I'm getting to is over time, you see that. That architecture of the Catholic Church was big, right? It was the, it was the superstructure that was the ones running it, right? That was, you know, and the, the. The. The popes and subsequent popes would not allow them to go after territory that they, you know, because the Pope was the big globalist superstructure at that time. Now, since that time, other structures have come into play, like the Chinese, obviously, Russians, obviously. Zionists, obviously, right? So there's different players, as you know, in the United States itself is a product of, of globalism. I mean, these fights were happening all over the world, but the big Thunderdome was America, right? North America, specifically. And, and then, you know, then we were. We were formed and we, you know, manifest Destiny and all that stuff. And, and so different, you know, superstructures, you know, formed. And the next thing you know, you know, we built our three railroads and like, let's take Hawaii. I've got a whole section of the library on our new possessions, right? And it's all about. We got Philippines now we got, you know, Hawaii and. And, you know, different places. You know, after Spanish American War, Cuba, right? Antigua and all these, right? I mean, it was just like it was. We were. We were going at it. Of course, then McKinley, of course, got assassinated. You know, that, that, that. That anarchist shot him, right? Shot. It didn't shoot him in the chest or something. It was an actual anarchist. That's why Roosevelt became president. But anyway, you see all these different structures, there's different. There's many different structures, right? Over time, it's become. It's evolved like a jungle. Back then, it was simpler. You had Portugal and Spain and the Catholic Church was the boss. And then others added on. And then you got the Dutch, and they're like, no, we're Protestant. That's why the Japanese let the Dutch in here because they were Protestant and the Dutch agreed not to proselytize, right? And anyway, we were down in Nagasaki. You know, they. All. The Nagasaki is fascinating for Japan because Nagasaki is where the Japanese would not allow the globalists to come to Tokyo, right? You had to park your ship down at Nagasaki and you had to. That was A tiny little base. We just spent a month down there researching and, and you had to walk all the way up to Tokyo basically to do your visa run, you know. So basically the equivalent back then it took six months, man, six months. Because they didn't want gunboats coming up into Tokyo. Right? So, so we're talking, you know, Xavier, who was one of the original Jesuits, he came in 18 or I mean 1549 I believe to, I think, I think he was in Nagasaki in the beginning. 1549. Xavier. Right. And so he was, you know, he was down there in Nagasaki and they tried to do a, insurrection here in Japan. And you know they've got those 26 martyrs up in the movie and all that. I mean they're always, you know, they're always like, oh, we're the martyrs. And they skip the part how they were burning everybody alive and stuff, right? So it's like actually Masako and I, we went into the, we went a few months ago, we, we found a priest and he let us into their library down in Nagasaki. He was from Argentina actually. And, and, and he led us into their Catholic Jesuit library and we spent you know, half a day in there. It was very cool. And, and, but you know, that was right next to those, the monuments for the 26 martyrs. But who, who's, who are the big globalists? Who are the big players? Catholic Church is still one, but it's obviously not the big dog anymore. Zionists are very powerful, but they're, they're, you know, they're, they're, they're, they're madness. Just absolute madness. Like pushing death jabs and, and, and all the obvious open just wild eyed genocides that they're doing are clearly eroding their support base. Look at how they panicked and did that, that thing to Charlie Kirk. I mean that was a straight up, you know, hardcore hit the eject button.
- [73:21]
B
You know, what about these tech guys and where do they fit into this whole thing? You know, these tech oligarchs, I don't know.
- [73:31]
A
And keep in mind. Let me get some water here. Keep in mind the, the tech oligarchs, at the end of the day they don't have armies, right? And if somebody gets pissed off about them, their days are over, right? Somebody will take over their little castles. So they're going to be dependent on somebody else's power structure. So they're, you know, whatever service, intelligence wise that they can provide, obviously they're dependent on that because if you don't have an army, it doesn't matter. You can have all the intelligence that you want. Somebody will come in and kick your.
- [74:02]
B
Door with AI they're trying to build that army.
- [74:05]
A
They are, yeah. All right. But keep in mind, everybody can see that. It's not like the Chinese are stupid. They're very smart. Russians are very smart. And there's. There's various groups that are quite smart. And at some point, if they go, hey, we're. We're not. We're not going to make it. They're. They're beating us with that AI they're going to try to take it out. Right? I mean, obviously. I mean, those plants have addresses, right? Those data centers have addresses, you know, near Memphis and that sort of thing, right?
- [74:33]
B
Yeah. What do you think? This is incredible. History lesson. I. That's why I was like, whenever I get to talk to you individually, I learn a shitload. What do you think, though, today, like, right now, the app, like our viewers, what's the most important thing for them to understand about what's happening in the world right now and what should they be doing?
- [74:57]
A
Well, obviously, it's changing quickly. And obviously, you know, in survival situations, the people who recognize a change in the weather, let's say, or a change in conditions and adapt the quickest are much better off. They have a much higher chance of survival. Like you, you're on a farm in Uruguay. You adapted way in advance. I mean, that's huge buffer zone right there. Like, both of you. I mean, you're like masters at this. So basically, I would advise people to pay attention to you. I mean, that's what I would say. I mean, because the things that you put out are, I mean, smart. I mean, look at Doug, Doug, Doug, Doug determined the two best places. And I thought I traveled a lot. Doug just beats me hand down, right? And. Which is pretty difficult to do. And Doug divided. He finally was like, either Thailand or Uruguay, slash Argentina. And he's there now, and I think it's a wise choice, actually, because Thailand, I. I don't see the long term. I think it's going to end up in war.
- [76:07]
B
You know, we had a Brit who was. Who had been living in Thailand for a long time come to our conference, our plan B Uruguay conference we just had, because he's like, yeah, things are changing there. I just don't see the future being as pleasant as the past has been. There's something that's driving him to even look at leaving Thailand for Uruguay.
- [76:29]
A
So Thailand's too important. Just like. Like Panama. I just got a message from a Canadian army Officer tonight down in Panama. And, and I told him a couple years ago, like, don't move to Panama. He'll probably see this video and message me. I mean, I told him, don't move to Panama. And still there's a bunch of other Canadian officers moving down there. I'm like, you're crazy. I mean, unless you want war. I mean, it's a nice place for that. I mean, because listen, Panama. There's been 500 years of conflict in Panama. 500 years. I published that the other day and I think some people didn't believe that. I'm like, it's straight up. It's like, you know, I spend a lot of time in Panama and in history books. Panama since Christopher Columbus and the rest all showed up, Balboa and everybody else. Nothing but conflict, right? I mean, straight up. Because it's too valuable. It's a pork chop. It's a baby pork chop. What? You know, it's basically a baby pork chop with pork chops around its neck. It's one of the most important places on earth. That and the Suez Canal, right? That's why, that's why there's so much conflict for Israel. Right? Suez Canal and, and the greater Israel includes taking a big slice out of Egypt, which would mean, I mean, I wouldn't doubt that we're going to see, you know, the whole Arab Spring thing wasn't an accident. I wouldn't doubt seeing, you know, that they're going to have water problems in places like that as well. Right. Water is a huge weapon. Either unleashing it on people or holding it back. And, you know, they're removing water infrastructure all over Europe now. There's a website in English. You can see where they're, you know.
- [78:02]
B
The dams and stuff that get removed. Yeah, yeah.
- [78:05]
A
I told Masako, it's like, we're never going to move any place that. I mean, I'm going to go way to the top of the mountain. That's the, the drains to. If there's any infrastructure up there that can be taken down and flood us out, this is not a place for us. You know what I mean? I mean, you want a place that naturally doesn't flood, right? Just naturally. Even if they dump geoengineering on you, hopefully you'll still have some resilience.
- [78:29]
B
That removal of all this water infrastructure, which has been a huge move in the last 20 years, that's part of this rewilding project.
- [78:35]
A
Really? It is, right? Straight up. I mean explicitly. I mean explicitly, not, not maybe. I mean, they talk about it. Like for instance, if you go to World Economic Forum website, you know, all this stuff is old stuff. Like I've got a whole, I don't know, dozens of books on repopulating people on reducing population and, and controlling population in Wales and England and Ireland, you know, northern. And you know, it is, it's just, this is an old, old subject and nothing is new under the sun. The, this, you know, when you say it, when people say that's conspiracy theory, I'm just like, I don't even have time for you. You know what I mean? This is like, that's like saying, let's see, if I drop this, there's this magical invisible force. It's going to make this doped bong dog. It did. What was that force? It did. I can't even see the force, but it did it. You know, it's like, it's that obvious. I mean the, the, the, you know, moving populations around. Keep in mind the king level people. You know, you go back to the pipe rolls of the 11, you know, I just told you about the Daz rolls, right? The Daz rolls. You go back to the 1100s and they had something called the pipe rolls, right? And so, you know, the, the king of England, he's like, does his pipe rolls and you can. Those pipe rolls, I'd love to be able to get them, but yeah, you're gonna have to go over to London to look at those and you know, you know, behind the glass or something. But the, but the pipe rolls, the king was. Because you remember, you always count what you want to control your businessmen, you know what I mean? And, and, and they have done extensive recent census down the Darien and, and across Panama, but out with the Indians. I was physically present when they did it. In fact, I gave one of the census takers a, a ride on the air and an airplane that I chartered and I talked with her the whole time about the census, right? But in, in the 1100s they did the pipe rolls in England and counted all the sheep and all that stuff because the king wanted to control it and he wanted to control. And you know, the reason that people weren't allowed to, to, to, to, you know, they talk about the Magna Carta and all that. The Magna Carta was for the rich people, right? Magna Carta wasn't the constitution like we're talking about for poor people. You know that, that came later. The Magna Carta was for the, was for the barons and all that, right? So the, and, and, and you know, of course they ended up having an insurrection as well. But, but that was, you know, when. When the, when the, when the peons were not allowed to hunt in the forest and whatnot. That was just about control of the food supply. And that was all, you know, during that time frame, as the centuries unfold, you know, national force. You can't hunt in the forest because that's even the bear hunter here. I asked him the other day or two days ago, now, two nights ago, when Masaka were eating bear meat with him, I said, hey, if I buy a bear freezer, can I get like 100 kilos a bear meat from you? He's like, I can't. Because of my, my license, I can't sell the meat. I'm like, oh, there you go. I mean, you know what I mean? Like, so he's killing. He killed 50 bears in this year, right? And he's not allowed to sell the meat. That's exactly the way it was done across Europe and the United States, right?
- [81:48]
C
Michael, what's he do with the meat and the skins and all that?
- [81:51]
A
I asked him, I said, what do you. Because, you know, it takes a lot of work to do that. And I asked him, he said that, he said, they distribute it. And I didn't dig down into it because we didn't have enough time. But we're going to go back with them. I'm going to find out. But obviously I think, I think some of it's going to waste. That's what I think is happening. That's what I think is happening. And. Which is a, It's a, It's a crime. You know what my grandfather used to say. You know what's interesting? He, he. The first time he said he went bear hunting was when he was four years old on his grandfather's back, right? So he's fourth generation bear hunter. And, and, and, and, and, but he was not allowed to get a gun until he was 20 because I said, you know what the biggest gator I ever got was when I was 14 years old and I had my own gun, right? I mean, I, I shot it at close range. I shot the gator as close as he shoots the bears, right? It was like right there. It almost got my brother. It was 12ft, 3 inches long, and we ate it, right? I showed him a photo. He was like, wow. I like, yeah, I. Your. My gators are your bears, you know, and, and, but, you know, the, it's interesting though, because he was not allowed to have a gun until he was 20. Now I think he has six. He has to have licenses for him and all that stuff. But the, but he was not allowed to have a gun until he was 20 years old. He said, you know, getting a gun license is very difficult. They want to see if you have any money problems or anything like that, any reason you might commit suicide. But actually Masako found recently, like four or five days ago that she, that there is a theory. We'll check it out. That, that these, that Chinese are getting hunting licenses so they can get guns because Chinese can get guns here too. And Chinese are taking some of that farmland, right? That, that the Japanese are leaving so they could actually arm themselves here. Ja. Masako messaged me. She's like, I'm getting a hunting license. So, so, and that's interesting because I could come to Japan and get a hunting license and a gun. I mean, I could get a gun here, right? You can do it in Thailand as well. That, that's amazing. But think about the national security implications of that. Because I'm just an individual, that's nothing for me. I mean, but the Chinese there, there's roughly almost a million here. They believe, right? Chinese, and, and they're doing the same things here that they do. And you know, it's interesting because Japan has no national intelligence counterintelligence laws, they can't even go after spies. You know, it's funny, we were meeting with some government people recently and I'm like, you gotta, you gotta get serious, man. You gotta re. Light, write your national security laws. You got to be able to, you know, find these spies and eject them. And you, you gotta look at the United States. My country is being destroyed. Netherlands is dead in the water. Luxembourg's dead. Germany's dead. I mean, long list are dead men walking. France, because they didn't re. You know, they've crossed the Rubicon. They've crossed the demographic Rubicon. There is zero way you get out of this without war. I mean, serious war. Zero way. And there's a high chance you'll lose.
- [85:04]
B
What about the U.S. at this point.
- [85:07]
A
Only if they get deadly serious. But look at Mr. Trumpy Bear. TRUMP is handing out the visas now, as I said he would. Right? I mean, it's just the way that it is. I mean, you know what I mean? I mean, he is actually.
- [85:20]
B
His deportation numbers are still lower than Obama's.
- [85:24]
A
Yeah, he's not, you know, and listen, he's not going. They haven't. They have not dismantled the infrastructure down in Panama. They have not dismantled any of the IOM or any of Those people, in fact, you know, and interestingly, Masako and I at the train station today, saw UNHCR here doing fundraising here in Japan. UNHCR and all this. It's the same clowns in Thailand, too.
- [85:47]
B
Yeah, just. Just a couple more questions for you, Michael. What do you think? What do you make of the. The fact that in the US now, they. They have to have a Quick Reaction Force National Guard unit deployable within eight hours to every state in the US by January. What do you make of that?
- [86:08]
A
They're ready to crack down on the people. I mean, it's obvious. It's very obvious. I mean, how obvious can it be? They're getting ready to go. I agree with you, but.
- [86:18]
B
I agree with you, but it comes with more authority coming from you.
- [86:21]
A
Yeah, I mean, it's total police state stuff. That's what it is. It's obvious. I mean, it's. They're coming. They're coming for you. And people are like, they're gonna. Not gonna get my guns. I'm like, this is it. Here's the bottom line. All these people that keep saying, I got all this land and stuff, if you won't defend it, you don't own it. And I mean physically defend it. And like the Irish, you know, The Irish, you know, I talk with a lot of Irish and whatnot. You know, interestingly, I've got probably six or eight books and all have almost the same title, so. The Vanishing Irish. Yeah, they're almost the same title from different time periods. It's like they were, you know, you know, prepping you for it. Right, The Vanishing Irish. And. But if you don't defend Ireland, you will not keep Ireland or Scotland or England or Wales. You know, you won't keep them at all. You just won't. And likewise with Germany, you know. You know, it took three wars to get us here so far. They had to take out the Prussians in Germany, obviously. And, you know, World War I and World War II finally was effective with that. And the Japanese were World War II, as Al Johnson was mentioning to me today. We both study history together voraciously. You know, this is a long plan. The destruction of Japan has taken a long time because Japan is the hardest nut to crack, Right? But they're slowly cracking it. And again, this is not an event. This is a process. War is a war that takes centuries. And, you know, like you, I don't know if you've heard of War Plan Orange, but War Plan Orange was our plan to take Japan. Right. It started roughly in the 1890s, that's kind of fuzzy when it really started, War Plan Orange. But we started actually, if you want to go back to the 1500s, it started back then, but America wasn't here yet. But we did our first real serious reconnaissance the States in 1853.
- [88:14]
B
Right.
- [88:15]
A
And then we did in 1854. And I have the original studies right here from Commodore Perry. Commodore Perry. Matthew Perry came here in 1853 with the black Ships. He made very detailed maps. I've got them. I've got the originals right here. I mean, he's totally mapping this out. Now, keep in mind what's happening at the same time we're building those railways across the United States. We're coming here. This is all part of the globalist setup. Globalism and globalist are nothing new. We're good at it, right. That's when we're doing some of the original reconnaissance down in Panama. Right. Except the French got there. They. And we were looking at Nicaragua and Colombia. So I've got all these original studies on Panama, Nicaragua, Columbia. I've got the actual original reports to Congress and whatnot from the Department of War. I've got the original 10 book series on our railway reconnaissance for the North Central and. And Southern Railway. You know, the reason that we had the war with the Mexico was to make the Southern Railway, right. And the Gadsden Purchase. Southern Railway, right. So this is all. This is all part of the Manifest Destiny, right. All part of moving west and then coming over while they're working on Panama down there. You wouldn't believe it. I have big tables in my library so I can put out maps. These tables are huge so I can put these big maps out. You got to come see me sometime and spend about a week and we'll lay out the maps. They'll be out everywhere and I'll see. This is what happened. Railway here. Reconnaissance. Japan. Reconnaissance. China. Reconnaissance. Philippines. Reconnaissance. All these places, you look at the old maps of Japan, it's like, where's the gold? Where's the timber? Where's the rice? It's not where's the people? It's like where. This is where we're going to put the railways and stuff. You know what I mean? This is like. This is got to keep in mind, in the 1800s, we built more than 4,000 miles of canals in the United States. We were good at that stuff. So we didn't just come up with the Panama Canal out of the blue, like, wow.
- [90:10]
B
We.
- [90:10]
A
We'll build a canal down there. We are good at Building canals. Right? We are good at it. And, and the French failed and we just picked up the ball and did it. In fact, we created, we created Panama similarly to how we created Israel or the British helped create Israel, that we created Panama. On November 3rd, 1903, it was Colombia. Colombia didn't want to make a canal. Of course, McKinley was dead. McKinley wanted to make the canal in Nicaragua. McKinley got shot. Roosevelt's like, let's do Panama. And, and, and so, and Colombia is like, no, you know, because Panama was part of Colombia at that time. So the United States was like, okay, you don't play ball then. So we sponsored a rebellion and then we sent the navy down there and then we, you know, November 3, 1903, Republic of Panama was born. We immediately made a treaty and we want this 10 mile strip and you can have the rest, basically. And so Panama was very peaceful and was very nice place to live because that was part of our security program for the canal. We wanted Panama to be very stable. That's why they use the US dollar. We wanted Panama to be super stable. And, and then through our own stupidity, you know, Carter was just obviously a condom like Trump. We basically, I mean, we get the bankers. You should read the book. I know you've all read this creature from Jekyll Island. He talks about the part of it in there. But actually I've got, you see these shelves? I've got about enough with a whole thing on the Panama Canal. You should see these maps, man. This, let me show you something. This, this, these are the original maps, right? This is like a hundred of them or so plates. This is maps. This is for the Panama. This is the Ismian Canal Commission, right? That's what this is. These are originals. These are unbelievable. These are mapping out the entire world right here. So when that canal gets open, the Panama Canal, this is what we're going to do. We're going to start taking stuff from Uruguay to Japan. In fact, at the World Fair in 1910, I think it was, I've got that book here as well. They were talking about literally stuff you could ship from Uruguay to Japan through the canal. Like literally. I mean, it's a coincidence that you're there and I'm in Japan, but I mean, so, I mean they were at the, they were planning how to use that canal. And the suit they have, there's a map in here that shows you which canal to use to get from here to there. Go to Suez or go to Panama, you know, you know, it's like they're Mapping it out, man. Where's the gold? Where's the timber? They are totally gonna go big time. Money, right? And it was so super effective. These people that did this are brilliant. I mean, they're unbelievable. You see, I. I was asking one naval Intelligence officer last year. I said, how come the Navy reports are so much better than army reports? You know, the Navy. The Navy reconnaissance. Like, the Navy were the ones doing all the, you know, the reconnaissance reports down in Panama and over here in Japan. And the Navy reports are just unbelievably, like, perfect works of art. Birds with high levels of art, you know, sketches and fish and shells and snakes and all this stuff, you know, And. And, you know, and it's the same way with our railway reconnaissance dude, Department of War. But the. And, you know, that. That naval intel guy said, well, I think it's because, you know, we just. The army guys are out on town at night, but we're. We're stuck on the ships, so we didn't work on our paperwork, you know, I guess that makes sense. Or maybe you have better. Maybe a better academy or something. I don't know. But the. But the. But, yeah. These. These maps right here, they. Their details of the Panama Canal, all the reconnaissances that they used and didn't use. You know, like, they were thinking about making tunnels and places. It's. It's unbelievable. You got to come over and spend, like, a week with me. I'll give you the keys to the library.

B
I will, I will. I will. Doug, any last questions for Michael before we wrap up? It's 1:35am for him now. Oh, he's got more information. I know you are.
- [94:23]
C
It's incredible, Michael, that's the problem. I know. I. I mean, you. You've already covered all the waterfront, and. And I know you could go on for. For days. I mean, you're a phenomenon. So I'm alone.
- [94:36]
A
This is all I do.
- [94:40]
C
With. With the occasional bear hunt thrown into.
- [94:43]
A
Oh, man. That's why I got my. He wouldn't take me. I said, will you take me bear hunting? And he says, very dangerous, you know. And I was like, okay, will you take me? I don't think he's gonna go for it, but I'll keep asking.
- [94:58]
B
Awesome. Well, thank you very much, Michael, for joining us. It's been too long since the last time you did it, so let's make sure we don't wait so long next time. And thanks for sharing all this wisdom. I love the history.
- [95:12]
C
Michael's got to tell the hardcore that are still with us where they can get in touch with them and read his blog and all this.
- [95:18]
A
Yeah.
- [95:19]
B
The number one thing to do I would recommend everyone to do is go to his subst and support him on his sub stack and I will link directly from the video to the sub stack so they can do that. Michael's self funded. That's why he's able to be totally independent and tell the truth. And most people are not in a position to do that. And if to keep it that way, you have to help support him. And the way to do that is just support his substack. That's the best way. So I'll link directly to that.
- [95:46]
A
Thank you very much. And I got this cool book the other day. We were going out the door to the Bear Hunter when it came in. Yeah, I read it already. I read it. But, but actually I, I had bought a hard cup, hard copy already. But it's in Florida. But the, but I got this. Thank you very much. But the. I read it.
- [96:05]
B
He's got the signed one. He's got a signed one.
- [96:07]
A
Doug.
- [96:08]
B
We sent him.
- [96:08]
A
Oh man, look at that. See? Yeah. And, and thank you, sir. Yeah. And is that actually your signature or is this fake?
- [96:16]
B
It really is.
- [96:17]
A
Okay. Okay. I just want to make sure.
- [96:20]
C
Oh, no, no fake stuff for you, Michael. That's real.
- [96:23]
A
I'll get it tested. But, but I, but actually the. But I, I listened to the books on the audio and I read the PDF and you guys, you. And, and, and, and Max did the audio, which sounds completely professional. Actually, I mean, I was actually surprised because it's hard to do a book. Audiobook did very well. I, I was like, how did they do this? Because like, you, like, you, you, you keep your levels right? Like other people that try that. Their levels are always changing. And you.
- [96:54]
B
Software to help with that. But yeah, it was hard. It was hard.
- [96:58]
A
But th. This, this book and the hard cover is much better than reading the PDF. I like it like this. Yeah, this is really you. I mean, this book is. There's a lot of. Actually I know somebody who's in his 70s reading it right now and he said he wish he had it when in his 70s. So obviously he's not going to be wrestling gators or any of that, but. And Max is running around all over the place. I love some of the things he's done, like sailing around the, the tip of South America and you know, the EMT and all these things. It's extremely important. The skill sets that he's building are going to be are going to be over the top, valuable.
- [97:37]
B
And if we can get ten thousand or a hundred thousand young men doing just following an independent course like this, I think it really could make a big dent in the problems that we face. Huge. I really do.
- [97:51]
A
Huge. That's what they need. They need the same. Here in Japan, we're just trying to.
- [97:56]
C
Grow some sand on the slippery slope that Western civilization's sliding down. That's all.
- [98:02]
A
It ain't over, though. I mean, clearly some of the countries are. They're not going to make it. I mean, it's very obvious at this point, but it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean we're all going to die. I mean, you know what I mean? It doesn't mean that at all.
- [98:14]
B
Yeah, one way we think of the book is we might not be able to save Western civilization even, really, but we can certainly save people we love. And so if you're a. If you have young men in your life, you should definitely get this book. Read it yourself first and then give it to them. You'll get something out of it as an adult, too, for sure.
- [98:34]
A
Excellent book. All right, y'. All.
- [98:36]
B
Okay, thank you very much. Michael. Yan, great to have you. Really appreciate your time.
- [98:40]
A
Thank you.
- [98:41]
B
We'll talk to you again soon. Okay.
- [98:42]
C
Real pleasure, Michael, as always.
- [98:44]
A
Bye.
- [98:45]
B
Take care.
