Investigative journalist and all-around outstanding human being Whitney Webb sits down for a chat this week about the deep ties Ghislaine Maxwell has to the recent events concerning Deutsche Bank. Whitney and I discuss the role William Barr may be playing (or not playing) in how these events unfold. We touch on the extent of the web the elite weave to keep us first distracted and second confused as to what all of it means while frustrating our search for justice and meaning. In the second half of the show we talk about the effects of the weaponization of AI to rob us of our basic humanity while they build a police state built on medical lies surrounding COVID-19.Show Notes:Whitney Webb's archivehttps://www.unlimitedhangout.comhttps://www.thelastamericanvagabond.comhttps://www.patreon.com/whitneywebbmpn

Ghislaine Maxwell's arrest has created quite a stir and the question that should be foremost in people's minds is, "Who's got her and who is she protecting?" Maxwell, as Jeffrey Epstein's COO was the brains behind the operation.She's the one with the real information and if that information is now even partially under control of President Trump and his Attorney General WIlliam Barr as opposed to the bad apples in the SDNY then the rest of this summer heading into the election gets very interesting.Maxwell's ties to British Intelligence and Israel's Mossad play into this as does the EU's final attempts to scuttle Brexit and bring the U.K. to its knees. This is the ultimate power play that spans two generations of entrenched players on both sides. The future of the West may actually hang on what happens to her in the next couple of days.Show Notes:Maxwell Didn't Commit Suicide by Getting Arrestedhttps://tomluongo.me/2020/07/04/maxwell-didnt-kill-herself-by-getting-arrested/Israel’s Failed Attempt to Start WWIII Is the Beginning of the End in Syriahttps://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/09/19/israel-failed-attempt-start-wwiii-beginning-end-syria/

With the banning of Stephan Molyneaux by YouTube, a man with more than 1 million subscribers, we've reached the book burning stage of the U.S.'s Cultural Revolution and it's being televised in real time, no less. Gil Scott Heron was wrong. The problem is the real revolution we need won't be televised, it may not even happen until after we're plunged into a chaotic breakdown that was beautifully described in Christopher Nolan's 2012 film, The Dark Knight Rises.Recently I rewatched The Dark Knight Rises and it floored me with its prescience in predicting where we would head as the consequences of the false recovery post-Lehman Bros. and Occupy Wall St. would play out on the streets of the U.S. in 2020.And in doing so, I overcame a lot of my reservations about Nolan and his work after years of questioning his motives. So this week's cast is as much about my skepticism of Hollywood as it is about the work of a unique and talented artist's ability to 'get there first.'Show Notes:‘The God That Failed’: Why the U.S. Cannot Now Re-Impose Its Civilisational Worldviewhttps://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/06/29/god-that-failed-why-us-cannot-now-re-impose-its-civilisational-worldview/Can We Escape Control of The Wire?https://tomluongo.me/2018/11/18/can-we-escape-control-of-the-wire/Chris Nolan's Filmographyhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0634240/

The short-lived experiment that is/was the CHAZ in Seattle is just one of three avenues of attack against the Trump administration being pursued in the first Real U.S. Civil War. This is the Black Revolution, cut from the same mold as previous Orange, Violet, Green and Brown revolutions in Eurasia and North Africa.So while the CHAZ will end with a whimper it will also fail falling forward as newly-minted Antifa radicals will be created when the police roll in. We're staring at future powder kegs when the verdicts are handed down for the police officers involved in both George Floyd's and Rayshard Brooks' deaths.And the election will not be decided by votes, but rather protests and the potential is high for a coup orchestrated from the streets of Washington D.C. in the next six to nine months.Show Notes:Is the CHAZ the new Maidan?https://tomluongo.me/2020/06/22/chaz-setup-next-maidan/Black is the New Black in Color Revolutionshttps://tomluongo.me/2020/06/21/black-new-black-in-color-revolutions/Crimea: The Way Back Homehttps://youtu.be/nbGhKfWrfOQ

The Civil War in the U.S. continues to heat up and events over the past week reinforce this idea to me. This week I cover both the formation and reinvention of the CHAZ -- Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone -- in Seattle as well as my own experiences with the Trump Flotilla here in Florida.There are two completely separate cultures who will continue to clash politically and socially and they will not be reconciled by something as tawdry as an election. The U.S. is headed for that ugly future I've been writing about for weeks and the people who have unleashed this chaos have no idea that it will grow far beyond what they initially intended.Notice how this has nothing to do with George Floyd anymore, which may be the saddest comment on the entire affair.

The fires may be out for now, but they have not been fully extinguished. The Culture War of the past ten years has quickly exploded into a Civil War. It doesn't matter that this explosion was amplified by agent provocateurs and cynical political operatives hoping to retain control over the power centers.This cultural inversion, in the words of Jonathan Pageau, that we have been going through these past four years in response to the election of Donald Trump is accelerating quickly and will reach its zenith with the November election.And in the cycle of human civilizations after inversion comes death. What kind of death will it be? And what kind of rebirth will occur on the other side of that.

With everything happening at a breakneck pace it seemed prudent to do another one this week and talk with radio personality and former police officer Garland Nixon about the state of things in the U.S. Garland and I discuss the underlying rage and discontent that has been brewing for months in the U.S. at the unfair and rotten system which has driven hundreds of thousands around the world into the streets to vent that rage.The problem is, of course, that this rage is being misdirected and used by very sinister people to achieve terrible political and social goals through violence, looting, rioting and generally carrying on cranky.And we're all being abused by it. Something deep and abiding has to change within us before we can ever attempt to change the system we are a part of. And it is great to see two people from opposite ends of the political spectrum agree about so many fundamental aspects of this current crisis foisted on us to accelerate the descent of our civilization.Show Notes:Episode #5 - Garland Nixon and Chasing Down the Lies on K Streethttps://www.spreaker.com/user/tomluongo/episode-5-garland-nixon-chasing-down-theBurning America: Be Careful What You Wish Forhttps://tomluongo.me/2020/05/31/burning-america-careful-wish-civil-war/One Screen, Two Movies, Three Times the Troublehttps://tomluongo.me/2020/05/30/one-screen-two-movies-three-times-the-trouble/Tim Pool - Exposing Antifa Tactics and Why They Are Fake Anarchistshttps://youtu.be/GnJBOSTZzSc

Legendary trader and blogger Yra Harris drops by to discuss the changes coming to the European Union thanks to Angela Merkel's betrayal of the German people. Debt mutualization is on the table and the acquiescence of the German political class to the financial realities of Europe's mess will usher in, slowly and with a lot more pain for everyone, consolidation of power across Europe.Yra and I also discuss the situations brewing in Hong Kong as well as the U.S. and how the financial world is teetering on a knife edge of deflation, wobbly currency pegs and feckless leadership.Ahh... good times.Show NotesYra's Notes from Underground Bloghttp://www.yragharris.com/Bernard Connolly's The Rotten Heart of Europemailto:\\rottenheartofeurope@gmail.comPodcast Episode #7 Yra Harris and the Rotten Heart of Europehttps://tomluongo.me/2019/12/10/podcast-episode-7-yra-harris-the-rotten-heart-of-europe/

Brexit is back in the news as we approach the deadline for extending the Transition Period between the U.K. being under the auspice of EU law. There is still no appetite within the EU to allow the U.K. to leave on terms which satisfy the Brexit referendum of 2016.If the U.K. caves and files for an extension by the end of June then the Brexit saga will last another two years. EU Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier continues to ply a hard line which has, to this date, gotten him absolutely nothing from the U.K. since the day Boris Johnson became Prime Minister. This week I discuss these dynamics and how a shifting global power structure represented by Donald Trump, Brexit and the populist wave across Europe continues to erode the EU's leverage in Brexit talks. Does Johnson have his ducks in a row to walk away in December on WTO terms? It's a good question.Show Notes:EU Ready to Ease Demands on Fisherieshttps://news.yahoo.com/eu-ready-ease-fisheries-demands-112555805.htmlThe EU Are a Bunch of Karens: Barnier Complains About Brexit Talkshttps://tomluongo.me/2020/04/25/eu-karens-barnier-complains-brexit-negotiations/Did Johnson and Macron Engineer a Hard Brexit in October?https://tomluongo.me/2019/12/28/johnson-macron-hard-brexit-deal/

This week I go off the beaten path a little bit to talk with the Project Lead for one of my favorite cryptocurrencies, Decred, Jake Yocom-Piatt. Jake is a very astute critic of not only the monetary system but the cryptocurrency development scene. Getting his insights into the future of bitcoin and cryptos in general as potential monies in a post-Central Bank dominated world I thought was necessary at this moment in time. With the latest halving of the Bitcoin reward pool occurring against an unprecedented collapse of the global financial system, there will be a lot more people trying to make sense of why we utilize capital the way we do.Trustless systems like Bitcoin and Decred are the true harbingers of what comes next for humanity.Show Notes:Decred:http://www.decred.orgThe Necessity of Bitcoin as Reserve Assethttps://tomluongo.me/2018/05/22/the-necessity-of-bitcoin-as-reserve-asset/The Foundation of the Next Cryptocurrency Bull Markethttps://tomluongo.me/2018/05/22/the-necessity-of-bitcoin-as-reserve-asset/
