Speaker 1: The following presentation is now Marvis Studio's production. You're listening
to the fact Hunter Radio Network. Here is your host,
Dodge Hubbs. Welcome back truth seekers from around the world.
It's time for another edition of the fact Hunter podcast.
As we record on this Skull and Bones Day three,
twenty two March twenty second, twenty twenty six. I pray
this day finds you well. We had a beautiful day.
I think it's about seventy six degrees outside. It's six
pm Eastern time. It was really interesting. We woke up
this morning and it was a beautiful sunrise, but we
were getting sprayed like I've never seen it before. And
by nine o'clock it was overcast. You couldn't see the sun.
But thankfully, I think about two o'clock it broke and
the sun came back out. But we'll see, right, we
shall see. The reason I was dropping, I guess there's
two reasons. While we're dropping a podcast tonight, a we
maybe a little later in the week with dropping the
normal podcast. One of the things I'm working on is
Pete hag Seth. A lot of the connections he has
even to the c f R. Also working on another
Israel podcast with someone who'd been on the show before
working out time there. But this week has a chance
to be a pretty historical week. Right. I'm not a soothsayer,
I'm not a prophet, but there's a lot of things
that are kind of aligning and I wanted to share
them with you today. One of the things that I
don't believe is getting talked about enough is the markets
this week. And again, all of this is a push
to get us across the goal line to the Central
Bank digital coin, to get cash out of our hands. Right,
they already got the pennies out of our hands. They
boil the frog. Rarely do they ever just you know,
completely put something on us. But we'll see. But the
Japanese market, then the K two twenty five, it should
be opening two hours from right now as I speak again,
it's six pm Eastern time. It's looking to be down
over two thousand points, which is close to five percent
of their market. And that's Japan's market. That's well before
Wall Street opens. And today we have you know, the
President of the United States talking about you know, nukes.
If Iran goes after the vilaination plants in the Middle East, right,
if you do this. We're going to do that, right,
because in combat it's a one way battle, right. The
other country is just supposed to sit there and take
all the missiles until they submit. You're not supposed to
fight back. It's it's a bizarro world, right. That's why
we got to pray for peace. These people who are
running our country are psychotic. But again, there is a
chance that the Asian markets will crash out before most
of y'all even wake up in the morning. So again
you have Ian Bremer, who is the man who runs
the Eurasia Group, one of the most powerful geopolitical risk
firms right on Earth. He just said this this afternoon.
He said, the Iran war is not priced into the
markets yet. So everything that you have seen on the
news in the last twenty days has not reached the
market yet. So think about that. The straight of horror
moves has been blocked twenty days. Ninety five percent of
non Iranian ship traffic has collapsed. There are close to
two hundred vessels stranded in the Gulf. Ships are paying
Iran up to two million dollars per vessel just to
pass the Brent crude oil is it? I think one
point fifteen a barrel, Which listen to this, it's up
seventy five percent. On February twenty eighth, it was sixty
four dollars a barrel. It has doubled, and obviously, if
it hasn't priced into marketshed, it's going to continue to
go up before we see at least eleven leveling off,
before we even start to see a downward trend. So
you know, when you look and see that oil has
spiked seventy four percent in twenty days, let that sink
in for a moment. And remember every major market crash
or adjustment, whatever you want to call it, it was
preceded by some type of oil shock. Right nineteen seventy three,
you had the S and P five hundred drop forty
one percent. Remember during the Golf War, everything was great
and row I think gas was seventy five cents a
gallon when we redeployed home from Desert Storm in the
spring late spring of ninety one, and then it all
crashed and the price of gas skyrocketed. And of course
they say that's the reason Clinton won the election, Right,
I don't know about that. I think I think Poppy
Bush was more of a behind the scenes guy, and
it was a chance to make the oil market some
money and to pass the baton to Clinton because Clinton
played along in the eighties right with Mina, Arkansas and
everything else. That was his reward. And then, of course
two thousand and eight, everybody says, oh, yeah, the housing crisis.
Well there was a housing crisis, but there was also
an oil shock. There was also the credit collapse. The
SMP five hundred dropped fifty six percent, and right now
we have the oil shock the credit collapse. Simultaneously, the
two point one trillion dollar private credit market is in
its most perilous period since two thousand and eight. Now
I find that interesting because you know, early days of COVID,
we did see some you know, market fluctuation. But to me,
you know, in the morning, I would see the market
drop and then by the afternoon it would pick back up.
So what I saw was the average joe panicking selling
his stock. And then your black rock, your black street,
your vanguard was scooping it up for pennies on the dollar.
And I think we're going to see a lot more
of that this week. And what we closed the podcast with,
I think you'll start to it'll come around full circle,
and you'll understand that this is more about more lockdowns,
more closures, and finishing off small business. Right. So again,
this simultaneous type of breakdown has only occurred a handful
of times in the past decade. So again, Trump is
now threatening to attack Iran's power plants, which if you
do a little research you'll see that it's a war crime.
No way to sweeten it up. It's a war crime.
And then Iran is saying, you know, they're going to
hit all of the delineation the water purification plants in
the middle of East Saudi Arabia, Guitar UAE. And then
Trump says, well you do that, you know, that's crimes
against humanity. So we're going to Nukia. So we're going
to do one war crime, you know, get hit with
another war crime. And then it's just we'll see what happens.
But you know, two hours from now, I'll be interested
to see what happens in the Japanese market and what
happens here in the United States. Right I'm going to
take a break for a second, and I want to
play this audio for you. If it would load for me,
that sure would be great. This is Citadel CEO Ken
Griffin saying that the world needs a savior, and the
hope is that artificial intelligence is the savior. That's really
given some Antichrist vibes. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: The area of recklessness is the spending of governments around
the world who are all with little exception, all spending
well beyond their means. That's the recklessness of this moment
in history. This is not a parallel to the nineteen
twenties in terms of the recklessness of the private capital markets.
Speaker 1: It's a story of.
Speaker 2: The recklessness a government spending within the private sector. There's
a huge questionist where AI will take us, and I
was carefully taking notes and listening to what Larry has
to say, or to what Madame Leguard has to say,
because this is one of the big issues of our moment.
Will AI create the productivity acceleration that is, honestly this
hoped for in Washington and in the halls of government
around the world as a way to overcome the profit
at spending.
Speaker 1: That we're currently engaged in.
Speaker 2: The world needs a savior, and the hope is that
AI is this savior that we need for productivity, and
the challenge with this is it may or may not be.
Speaker 1: We just don't know. Yeah, let's turn our future over
to computers. That's that'll workout really well. I'm sure there's
so much going on. If you didn't know, The Department
of State advised just a couple of hours ago to
all Americans worldwide and especially the Middle East Captain obvious,
to exercise increased caution. Americans abroad should follow the guidance
in security alerts issued by the nearest US embassy or consulate.
Periodic airspace closures may cause travel disruptions. US diplomatic facilities,
including outside of the Middle East, have been targeted. Groups
supportive of Iran may target other US interests overseas or
locations associated with United States and or Americans throughout the world.
So yeah, it's pretty rare to see a world wide caution.
It's interesting again, if you go to travel dot State,
dot gov, you'll see that March twenty second, Good Old
Skull and Bones Day, the Department of State advises Americans
worldwide to exercise increased caution. And also, I'm sure most
of you have seen the video from the airports. I
think it was Atlanta this morning this Sunday, morning March
twenty second, the line to get through TSA security was
three hours, and we're seeing more and more of that now.
Trump says that he deploying ICE agents will be heading
to US airports on Monday. He is placing bordersar Ton
Homan in charge of the effort, and of course you
all have to put a pop up there. Talks about
how agents would be there to release TSA officers from
non significant roles, but Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy offered
a conflicting plan. So again, if you are traveling, if
you have to fly somewhere in the coming days and weeks,
be safe. I'd recommend if you can drive by any way,
shape or form, I'd probably suggest that the air line terminals.
The shortage of TSA agents due to the government shutdown
and this whole mess, you kind of see it's all
coming together right twenty twenty they shut us down because
of a virus. I am starting to believe that the
next shutdown will be a quote unquote energy shutdown, and
more and more people are starting to know this. If
you didn't catch it, the IEA, the International Energy Agency,
just dropped something on Friday. They always strapped good news
on Friday afternoon, talking about, you know, we have this
energy crisis and these are the way you know, this
is the way forward. And what they did was they
recommended ten things and what was number one? Work from
home where possible. Right. This displaces oil use from commuting,
particularly where jobs are suitable for remote work. Reduced highway speeds,
encourage public transport, and don't forget on top of all
of this, Trump said to have the QRF, all the
National guards in all fifty states to have an emergency
Quick Reaction Force on standby. So it looks like they're
intentionally planning, you know, like twenty twenty all over again.
And what we're watching right now, it isn't just another
geopolitical flare up like we've seen over the years. This
is it feels like it's playing out the same, right.
It changes how people travel like twenty twenty. It changes
how economies function like we saw in twenty twenty. But
it also changes how governments, you know, think about controlling demand.
We saw it in seventy three, nineteen ninety, two thousand
and eight, twenty twenty, we saw how quickly governments can
reshape every day life, and they did, right, They sure did.
And when they believe a crisis justifies these extraordinary measures,
which is the really the Hegelian dialect. Right, And the
question now isn't whether energy disruptions matter. The question is
whether we're entering another period where energy scarcity becomes the
justification for behavior of controls. And when I say energy scarcity,
of course it's contrived. It's intentional. Right, We've got plenty
of oil in this world. This is all a reason
to bring forth a one world government, a one world currency,
the new world order. So to understand what may be
coming again, go back to nineteen seventy three. I remember
the story. I was four at the time, so I
don't really remember it. I think in Delaware, if you
had an odd number license plate, right, if your license
plate number on your car ended in an odd number,
you were allowed to get gas on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
If you had an even number, it would be Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Now,
what they're thinking is they don't want to have to
put gas stations in charge of saying you can or
cannot get gas, because that's going to cause flare ups,
fights and everything else. So now I think what they're
talking about doing, at least in their early stages of planning.
That I've seen is if you have an even number
license plate, you can drive on the roads on Monday,
Wednesdays and Fridays. If you have an odd numbered license plate,
you know the other. That way, they put the power
in the hand of the police and the quick reaction forces.
And again this happened in nineteen seventy three. We saw
what happened just six years ago. So before you just
whatever they put they did some pretty nefarious things just
six years ago. Right, and remember during oil embargoes, the
supply shocks didn't just cause higher prices, they cause they
gave reason, i should say, for governments to intervene in
how citizens used fuel. Right, we saw gas stations run
dry line stretch for miles, and eventually, you know, policy
makers began implementing demand controls. So again we already talked
about how the odd and even gas rationing was done.
Speed limits were lowered nationwide to conserve fuel. By the way,
there was something called car free Sundays that actually appeared
in parts of Europe. Car free Sundays. What did people
normally do on Sunday? They go to church? There it is.
They want to keep you away from God, They want
to keep you away from worshiping Christ. Governments told people
want to drive, how fast you drive in some cases,
whether or not to drive at all. They're not going
to call it a lockdown. They're going to call it conservation.
They're going to call it rationing. Supporting the war effort
allah World War two, right, But the movement was reduced
in order to stretch. That's what they tell you. It's
used to stretch a limited energy Sopply and again during
the Golf War, markets feared disruptions and the prices surged. Governments,
you know, they already had their contingency plans in place.
Airlines reduced capacities, Businesses began discussing remote work options, not
because of a virus, because cost and fuel uncertainty. There
were discussions about, you know, strategic reserves that you always
hear about. But the crisis ultimately stabilized more quickly than
feared because it ended very quickly and the framework remained.
That's the most important part. They kept that Hegelian dialect
plan in place. So again, when energy is threatened, governments
step in and they began planning for reduced consumption right,
because you know, the war machine gets the fuel first,
right before us. Then came two thousand and eight. Again,
everybody remembers the banks and the housing crisis, but if
you take the time and research, energy played a huge role.
Oil surge close to one hundred and fifty dollars a barrel.
Airlines collapsed or merged because of that. That played a
very big reason that you didn't hear about. Pardon me,
Shipping sloed, consumers, cut travel, Some governments discussed cultural changes
and transportation demand. It wasn't as dramatic as nineteen seventy three, right,
but it was the same logic. And they'll pull it
out again when fuel becomes expensive or scarce. The easiest
lever is to pull human behavior right, produce travel, consolidate trips.
I don't want to see anybody on the road unless
you have three people in a car. Right. And then
twenty twenty, that was the year that changed everything. They
adopt hiding their evilness, and not so much because of energy,
of course, No, that was something different. It demonstrated how
quickly governments can reshape our daily lives when they believe
the crisis demands that. Of course, it's scripted. Remote work
became normalized overnight. Non essential travel was discouraged or restricted.
Movement was categorized into non essential and essential. Right, you're
non essential, you're essential. It's amazing how a virus was
able to evade Amazon and Walmart, but the mom and
pop stores got decimated. Right. The important takeaway from twenty
twenty was not the cause, it's the mechanism. Governments learned
that large scale behavioral change is possible and that populations
will adapt quickly when it's told it's necessary for stability.
Now Here we are March twenty second, twenty twenty six.
We're about ninety minutes away from the NIKA to twenty
five opening another What time is it in the Middle East.
It's about one am in the Middle East. And you know,
a major portion of the world's oil supply is under threat.
The straight up Hormus is one of the most critical
choke points in the world, carrying roughly one fifth twenty
percent of all oil shipments. Any disruption there reverberates across
the entire energy market. Governments, you know, non stop talking
about supply, but now they are talking about demand. When
policy makers began discussing side measures. They're no longer assuming
supply will quickly recover. Right, They are looking long term.
So the demand side, it sounds harmless at first. Work
from home when possible, use highway speeds, right, encourage public transportation,
avoid non essential travel, promote car sharing, reduced flights. Right,
they'll be presented as recommendations first. Right, do you remember
what was it? Fifteen days to slow the spread? And
I was excited. Yeah, I'll stay home for fifteen days,
watch some Netflix. Right. That crazy tiger guy was the
big distraction at the time, Joe whatever his name was.
Do you remember that crazy guy? And then it was
another week, another ten days, another month, Mother's day, stay
six feet away from your mom. And then it was
the jab. This is what happened in the seventies. Right,
voluntary conservation, that's how it started. It became structured. Then
it was ration, and these behavioral nudges become regulatory actions.
And the logic behind it is simple. Right, transportation accounts
for a large portion of oil consumption. If you reduce commuting,
then you reduce fuel use. If you reduce flights, you
reduce jet fuel demand. If you encourage public transport, you
consolidate energy use. Right, and now they're talking about they
want to get on the CBDC and to have it
somewhere to control your travel. Right, you're obviously going to
have some type of GPS connectivity to it, and if
you try to spend your money outside of your area
that you're allowed to travel to, you're going to get declined.
Catherine Austin Fitz talked about that today. I think it
was today. It was something I hadn't thought about. Right,
you're in your fit fifteen minute city, you're twenty five
minutes away from your home, you stop to get lunch,
you go to pay, it's declined outside travel limits. Sounds
very dystopian, But my goodness, what was twenty twenty not dystopian?
Have we forgotten so quickly? I think we're going to
If this happens, you're going to see a large amount
of brick and mortar stores go by the wayside. You're
going to see, if you don't already see empty shopping
centers and malls. That'll probably get worse because logistics are
going to slow down, because logistics run on oil. So
that's why it's important to look back through history. Right,
nineteen seventy three it changed driving behavior. Nineteen ninety, contingency
planning focused on reducing travel. Two thousand and eight, economic
pressure reduced mobility. And then in twenty twenty, the governments
demonstrated how much power, how they can truly change our lives.
Right now, we're seeing the early language that connects all
of these historical threads. Right, essential travel, remote work, demand reduction.
These are truly part of a consistent response pattern. So
all of this is psychological. Right, we talk about the
psychological operations that they use on us. Right, So when
someone hears energy crisis, we immediately focus on price, but
it's more of that, right, You're talking about supply chains,
emergency services, food distribution. And by the way, our farm,
not our farm, but the farm at the end of
our street that is always abundant. Every year they sold.
They cannot afford to farm there anymore. So you know,
they got surveyors out there, and I don't know what
they're going to build. But once again, urban sprawl has
found us again. Every time on Aku and I move, man,
it's never far enough. It's just people want to get away,
and that's called urban sprawl. People are fleeing from the
cities because they saw what twenty twenty Brang brought, Brang
brought pardon me, It affects everything hospitals, agriculture, freight utilities,
and then everything else becomes secondary or non essential. And
once you start prioritizing the private sectors, the mom and
pop short stores, and they start doing the essential versus
non essential, that is, I don't think if they do
something like that, they're not going to let off like
they did last time. So does it mean we're entering
the stage where policymakers consider tools that reduce mobility. We'll see,
we'll see, I think the next few days we'll tell that.
But you know, the fertilizer costs, food prices, all of
it follows, and we're What you have to remember is
we're already at such a hyper inflationary period where the
dollar is so worthless right now, right when was it Friday?
We were running around all day. We ordered three appetizers
and two main courses to pick up it was ninety
some dollars. What are you kidding me? And gases back up.
I explained that to you earlier. So it's it's very
important and to learn from history. Right they're reshaping planning.
They are altering the business models. So again, what should
you take away from this. It's not about geopolitics. This
is about control. It's about reducing mobility, which means control.
And again, many people when they hear things like this,
they run out. They look up on gas and water
and food. Look, you know, you can prepare as much
as you want, but number one, make sure you are
prepared spiritually. If you don't have Christ in your life,
then no matter how much food or water you have,
you're not prepared. That is the most important takeaway. Number two,
look out for your fellow neighbor. Right, and again, don't
lose sleep over these things. Can't control them, right, But
it's very important to be cognizant of what's going on
and how they wordsmith things, and how it's always for
our safety and our betterments. We're not there yet, but
the early indicators are it's like we're at the event
to a one stage right before COVID. I think we
may even be a little further along, but we'll see.
But again, if disruptions continue, the conversation will continue. And
again it's unfolding day by day. Don't panic, we're just speculating,
but it is certainly history repeating itself, one familiar pattern
at a time. We have some more announcements later on
this week. Look forward to that again. I'm not sure
when our main weekly podcast. It may not come out
till Thursday. Please subscribe to our substack. It is the
