WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.759 Well, as I said before, Jade Helm, you know we 2 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.880 this is from the interset and they said conservatives were 3 00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.960 once panicked about a federal plot to invade their communities 4 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.320 and quashed assent, and now they're cheering it. Of course, 5 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.039 I got my attention. This is on the Intercept and 6 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.359 it was something that was linked by the Drudge Report, 7 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.159 and I remember when that happened, and my take on 8 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.600 it at the time was that I thought that they 9 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.320 were using info Wars to push this out. Mcgraven, who 10 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.200 was head of Special Forces at the time, Admiral mccraven, 11 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.560 had said, we need to get back to our psyop 12 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.600 roots and special forces. We see all these movies about 13 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.399 people jumping out of planes and all these kinetic things 14 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.759 and stuff like that, because we really started was with 15 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.399 special forces and syops that basically go into an area 16 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.359 that the US is going to start a war with 17 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.519 or invade, and they would plant stories there and see 18 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.400 how people reacted to them so they can identify who 19 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:11.760 was going to be their ally and who was going 20 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.079 to be their friend. And I believed that that was 21 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.200 the purpose of jay Nown from the very beginning, and 22 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.400 I think that they used in for wars for that purpose. 23 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.799 But let's go back and see from the perspective of 24 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.719 the left, because that's where the interceptor is coming from. 25 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.280 Talk of troops in American cities, federal shock troops brutalizing 26 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:35.319 citizens and neighbors, the targeting of gun owners, mass surveillance, 27 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.959 the deployment of militarized artificial intelligence, and the suspension of 28 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.319 the constitution. By the way, folks, you are here, this 29 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.879 is where it is. There is twenty fifteen and twenty 30 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.200 and fifteen. The far right was incensed, they said, But 31 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:59.519 now the far right embraces this because it's Trump. It 32 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.120 was bad because it was Obama. But if Trump is 33 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.439 going to bring in military martial law and take over 34 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:11.000 the cities, that's just fine. Isn't it amazing how these 35 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.599 people can't extrapolate even when they've experienced Obama, when they've 36 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.960 experienced Biden and a j six persecutions, they still can't 37 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.919 get it. It's incredible. It was also a time of 38 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.199 post Snowden horror, as the nation realized that it was 39 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.199 living inside an unfathomably immense government surveillance dragnet, endorsed and 40 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.080 expanded by both political parties. They're absolutely right, It was 41 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.479 a moment that for a certain segment of conservatives, jade 42 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.280 Helm fifteen became an American crisis. And again it was 43 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.240 our reporting as to what was happening with the drills 44 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.439 and the cities, alongside with leaks from Snowden that I 45 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.639 think was why they leaked this information, put out a 46 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.159 false narrative through info wars in order to get to 47 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.439 see how people are going to react, And of course 48 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.439 that had a big effect in Texas. Greg Abbott got 49 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.319 involved in it and a lot of people did. Reveals 50 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.840 how much about the hucksters who pushed it and the 51 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.280 tolerance of many Americans for state depression so long as 52 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.680 they are not the intended targets. The cauldron of hatred, 53 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.199 federal violence, and surveillance brewed by the paranoiax who pounced 54 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.479 on jade Helm has spilled over today, not in the 55 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.120 form of right wing phobia, but of right wing policy. 56 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:33.000 Let me just say, if they're actually watching you, you're 57 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:39.039 not paranoid, right How could they in one paragraph say 58 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.960 look this is where we are today, this is actually happening, 59 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.680 and in the other next paragraph they talk about paranoia 60 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.560 of the right. It wasn't paranoia, It was understanding where 61 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.919 these people were going. And I think even though Alex 62 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.120 understands where they're going, he certainly does know what's going on. 63 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.039 He is a huckster. In July twenty fifteen, Alex Jones, 64 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.800 at that point, still little more than a punchline, they said, 65 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.080 issued a die or warning on his website info wars. 66 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.599 This is an ergency broadcast. He began to militarize the police, 67 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.439 to put standing armies on the streets, to suppress the population, 68 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:23.120 and to carry out political operations. But now he celebrates it, 69 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.079 doesn't he. Jones are referring to publicly released Pentagon planning 70 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:32.560 documents detailing jade Helm fifteen military training exercise throughout sparsely 71 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.639 populated swaths of the American South from Florida to Texas. 72 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.680 As is often the case when the dishonest have primary 73 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:46.079 documents in a vast megaphone, Jones mistated nearly every detail 74 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.319 of the materials, and that is true. He hyped it. 75 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.079 It was good for business. A map from what was 76 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.079 essentially a large scale military role playing game labeling Texas 77 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.120 as hostile colored in red, was irrefutable evidence to Jones 78 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.519 that the Obama administration was prepared to let loose a 79 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.959 national security state on the conservative heartland. Well, prior to this, 80 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.839 we had reported over and over again about the military 81 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.040 exercises that were being done in cities like Chicago and 82 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.639 LA and other places like that, and they said, well, 83 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.480 when question about it, they said, you train where you're 84 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.079 going to fight. 85 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.120 It's like, what's that about. 86 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.120 And then they talk about the fact that the Obama 87 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.160 administration was putting M wraps and everywhere you know, small 88 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.600 town sheriffs were getting them if they would be willing 89 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.240 to take them. What they found out was that they 90 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.959 were getting white elephants. These things were hastily put together 91 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.120 for the war in Iraq, these mind resistant armored personnel 92 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.040 carriers m wraps, and they were a nightmare of maintenance expenses. 93 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.959 And so what they did was the Pentagon retained ownership 94 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.399 of it, but gave it to some of these communities 95 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.120 shares and stuff like that, so they could I just 96 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.360 drive around in parades or something, and in part of 97 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.800 the militarization of the police, letting them role play as 98 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.079 swat the teams and that type of thing. But they 99 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.959 quickly found out that it was so expensive to maintain them, 100 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.040 and they had to be maintained by the local people. 101 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.079 A lot of them gave them back. But as I 102 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.000 pointed out of the time, why were they doing that, 103 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.399 What is the motivation for that? Well, one possible motivation 104 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.240 would be I give this these people, they maintain it, 105 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.879 and of course it trains them to think of themselves 106 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.040 as military. The other thing is that if they decided 107 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.279 that they were going to actually run something out like 108 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.120 Trump is doing now, these things are still under the control, 109 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.839 still owned by the Pentagon, and if they've been maintained 110 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.680 as they were required to maintain them, then they're already 111 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.480 there preplaced. Then they have to move them around the country. 112 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.879 They very pre deployed them, and it was a very 113 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.959 strange change in the Obama administration. It was newsworthy, whether 114 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.600 or not the interception thought so. It was newsworthy because 115 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:07.079 prior to that, since World War Two, surplus military equipment 116 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.959 had always been given and I mean given, transferred over 117 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.759 with no charge and that type of thing to rural 118 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.439 fire departments. They pointed out that the rural fire departments 119 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.480 are the front line on these large force fires that'll 120 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.639 happen in natural areas, national parks and things like that. 121 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.959 So You've got small rural fire departments that have to 122 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.160 deal with the biggest fires, so it made sense to 123 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.360 give them some equipment to help them to do that, 124 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.759 especially if it was surplus equipment that the military didn't 125 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.120 really want to use anymore because maybe it was outdated 126 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.600 and vulnerable. They stopped that program so they could start 127 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.319 putting this equipment in with police departments and sheriff's departments, 128 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.480 and so you had a lot of volunteer firemen immediately 129 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.879 start writing letters. Are very politically involved, they're active, they're volunteers, 130 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.399 and they got senators and several states to push back 131 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:03.519 right away, and they stopped that policy right away from Obama. 132 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.000 But it said something about what their motives were, and 133 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.399 I thought were very important. So that was really the 134 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.720 full context the military drills that happened over and over 135 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.800 again in large cities, especially Democrat cities, and the fact 136 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.920 that they had the deployment of these things, and then 137 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.639 also there was the asymmetric warfare aspect of it. That's 138 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.680 why I went to Fort ap Hill Whigs Sorry, go ahead. 139 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:30.839 And Lance. 140 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.000 It's interesting to see the parallels between the double think 141 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.840 of the left and the double think of the right 142 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.000 because you know, like you pointed out, they're pointing out 143 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.879 they're saying they're paranoiacs if they believed this stuff, which 144 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.679 is now coming true. And they have to say that 145 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.080 it was just a map that was colored red. And 146 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.679 ignore all the stuff about the Fort ap Hill with 147 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.080 the corner of First in Maine and churches and all 148 00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.440 that that's set up for the military to train in. 149 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.320 That doesn't anything like the Middle. 150 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:02.799 East, that's right, that's right. 151 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.960 And it hasn't been attacked by planes, not bombed out 152 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:08.840 shells of buildings. 153 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.759 No, they were actually there by doing these drills. 154 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.559 Well, left has to say, no, it was ridiculous ten 155 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.960 years ago, but it's real now, and the right has 156 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.879 to say, no, it's nothing now, but it was a 157 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:21.200 real threat ten years ago. 158 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:22.600 That's right. That's right. 159 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.639 So the White House was leveraging the national security state 160 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.720 to build the infrastructure for a federal paramilitary occupation of 161 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.759 the country to choke out political dissent by force. 162 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:33.919 That's what's happening. 163 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.600 Unwanted portions of my places would be herded into Department 164 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:44.799 of Homeland Security administered campuses, and warned Jones, other stalwarts 165 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.639 of the right wing paranoia We're not becoming a police state, 166 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:53.360 he told viewers were already here. Well, you know they're 167 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.120 spending tens of millions of dollars to get massive warehouses 168 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.960 to put people in. Is going to be illegal immigrants? 169 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:07.519 I mean, are they only attacking, arresting, ramming, shooting illegal immigrants. No, 170 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.279 they're doing that to American citizens. Now will incarceration, mass 171 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:12.679 incarceration be the next thing? 172 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.080 Well? 173 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.960 Maybe, all right, So Jones claim the training exercise was 174 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:21.799 connected to the broader militarization of the American police agencies, 175 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.639 a real trend that he misconstrued as a leftist scheme 176 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.320 against his audience was they pointed out at the very beginning, 177 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.159 they said, this is something has been done by both 178 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:36.120 the left and the right. And when you superimpose your 179 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.720 partisan paranoia, or your partisan bias, or your your marketing, 180 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.399 your partisan marketing over this, what does is it discredits it, 181 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:45.919 doesn't it? 182 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:47.480 He said? 183 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:52.519 You got massive military gear being cased, armored vehicles, machine guns, helicopters, 184 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.399 night vision humbies with the police departments around the country. 185 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:03.159 He said, But now, good Jones was not alone. Texas 186 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.080 Governor Greg Abbott quickly endorsed in for wars Ravings, deploying 187 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.039 the State Guard to monitor jade Helm so Texans know 188 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.879 their safety and their constitutional rights, private property rights, and 189 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.960 civil liberties will not be infringed. As he put it 190 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.399 in an April twenty fifteen letter ordering their mobilization. 191 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:23.120 This is a momazing. 192 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.559 They call it ravings. 193 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.039 Yeah right, yeah, yeah, ravings right. So, Former Texas Congressman 194 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.759 Louis Gomert suggested that the White House is hoping to 195 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.200 provoke an armed confrontation between the military and the administration's critics. 196 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.240 There's no surprise, said Gombert, that those who have experienced 197 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:46.000 or noticed such persecution are legitimately suspicious. I understand the 198 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.320 reason for concern and uncertainty, agreed Senator Ted Cruz. So 199 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.159 when you look at all this, folks, this tells you 200 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.879 the importance of partisan political parties. 201 00:11:59.039 --> 00:11:59.240 Right. 202 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.440 It blinds people to what is happening. The left was 203 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.679 blinded to it then, the right is blinded to it now. 204 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.840 The reality is it was happening then, and it's happening now, 205 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.120 and it's further along, and this is the agenda. Locals 206 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.080 organized jade Helm volunteer groups that monitored and recorded military movement. 207 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.919 Oath keepers describe jade Helm on its website as a 208 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:28.399 quote portentious government plan, a prefabricated, preconstructed umbrella under which 209 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.519 a black op by the Deep State's compartmentalized agencies could 210 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.639 possibly go live in a fantastic sort of chakanaw false 211 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.039 flag psycho coup to jar the public mind of America 212 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.320 through fear into acceptance of some nefarious policy, you know, 213 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:49.879 like Operation Warp Speed, which they just set that out. 214 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.320 So changing the mind of America through fear into the 215 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.960 acceptance of some nefarious policy the government desired, such as 216 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.120 establishment of martial law, complete loss of individual liberty and 217 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:08.639 our constitution. Oh that was twenty twenty. Now today he's 218 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.960 taking it to the next step, isn't he. And so 219 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.000 I always felt the purpose of this was a syop. 220 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:20.399 As I said, I felt this was to essentially inoculate 221 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.639 them from any criticism about it. Oh yeah, they criticized that, 222 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.919 But see what Jade Helm, nothing happened. And so I 223 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.240 always believe that was what was going on. Largely unconcerned 224 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:34.159 and frequently unconstrained by law. Trump has found in his 225 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.759 Department of Homeland Security. What Jones warned was coming a 226 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.759 decade ago, a paramilitary force to terrorize political opponents and 227 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:50.039 demographic undesirables. That's right, and it was all about identification 228 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.600 of people in different groups. Trump and a docile American 229 00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.759 right wing have finally delivered the jade Helm presidency. You've 230 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.360 now got armored personnel carriers today carrying masked, heavily armed, 231 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.519 pointlessly camouflaged. That's the thing I said the other day, 232 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.039 I said, these guys are all wearing camouflage like they're 233 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.320 in the jungle. That doesn't help you in the city, 234 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.279 does it. It actually makes you stand out. And I 235 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.000 guess that's the point. You know, this is kind of 236 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:22.840 Christynome level role playing when you wear camouflage in the cities. 237 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.480 So federal commandos going through American cities that voted against 238 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.279 the president, and it's backed by a sophisticated national surveillance apparatus. 239 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:38.360 Trump and his lieutenants, beneficiaries of American right wing, reshaped 240 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.240 by the likes of Jones and his audience, make real 241 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:47.639 explicit quiet fantasizing attributed to Obama during jade Helm, speaking 242 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:52.720 openly of American communities as hives of the enemy. In September, 243 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:57.559 Trump announced impending deportation operations in Chicago with a doctored 244 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.639 image depicting the city under attack with may palm. You 245 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.559 remember that. That's the most amazing thing to me. I 246 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.120 took that meme and expanded it. 247 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.559 I said, places, and we're going to straighten that one. 248 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:13.639 By what they're saying. 249 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.879 You're trying to take over the Republic and this is 250 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:17.600 going to be a major part for some of the 251 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.559 people in this room. That's a war too, It's a 252 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.360 war from within. 253 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.000 I told Pete, we. 254 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.840 Should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds 255 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.639 for our military, and that's going to be their military 256 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:41.200 robots what and I did that. Before I did it, 257 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.000 a human robot did that to a woman who was 258 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:50.639 talking to him, pulled down his pepper gun pepper balt gun, 259 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.120 and pulled out a real pistol and stuck it right 260 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.960 in her face, just like that robot, except this is 261 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:06.559 a flesh and blood robot. Yeah, that's Trump's name right there, 262 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.480 Chicago burning in the background. He's dressed like the character 263 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.240 from Apocalypse Now with the helicopters. What Trump didn't do 264 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.519 and his meme was have himself holding the Constitution lighting 265 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:25.279 it from below, which is really what is happening here, folks. Yeah, 266 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.440 so say that you're going to attack napalm Chicago. By napalm, 267 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.159 Chicago is going to find out why it's been why 268 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.639 it is called the Department of War, said Trump in 269 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:41.559 his tweet. Imagine if Obama had done that. Just imagine. 270 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.600 And yet these same people who would have been rightfully 271 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.679 outraged if Obama had said that, don't care at all 272 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:50.440 when it's Trump who is saying that. 273 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.440 And so. 274 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.480 Was this paranoia or was it something that was rolling 275 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.480 out that we just reported. You know, we're look at trends, 276 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.200 and like Gerald Sluinty says, you don't try to predict 277 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:08.480 exactly when it's going to happen. It's it's important to 278 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.440 get an idea of when it's going to happen. But 279 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.680 you can identify this trend and be correct about that 280 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.200 without knowing exactly when the hammer is going to fall 281 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.079 or when the market is going to fall. There was 282 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.400 a Pentagon video that was done back in twenty fifteen, 283 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.400 I think, and this is also something that's picked up 284 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:33.079 by the Intercept of the time. Listen to the Pentagon's 285 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:39.200 vision of megacities in the future in twenty thirty. Of 286 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:40.880 course that's the date that they want to have all 287 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.440 this stuff put in and I've been saying that, you know, 288 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.559 even though we don't know the exact timing, they've been 289 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:50.160 saying that is their goal. You know, you don't have 290 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:52.680 a goal if you don't set a date for it, right, 291 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.640 you have a wish. Well, they've got a goal. They 292 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.799 have set the date of twenty thirty. That's when they 293 00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.720 want to roll this stuff out or have it in place. 294 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.839 And we're rapidly moving toward that. If you think about it, 295 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.279 we got another four years. What could happen another four years? 296 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.240 Look at what's happened in just the last few months. 297 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.920 You know, there are some decades where nothing happens, and 298 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.680 then there's some months where decades happen. Ere aren't there. 299 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:20.039 The future is urban. By twenty thirty, urban areas are 300 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.160 expected to grow by one point four billion, with that 301 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.119 growth occurring almost entirely in the developing world. Cities will 302 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.319 account for sixty percent of the world's population and seventy 303 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.960 percent of the world's GDP. The urban environment will be 304 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.480 the locusts where drivers of instability will converge. It is 305 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.319 the domain that by the year twenty thirty, sixty percent 306 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.680 of urban dwellers will be under the age of eighteen. 307 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.359 The cities that grow the fastest will be the most 308 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.119 challenged as resources become constrained and illicit networks fill the 309 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.400 gap left by overextended and undercapitalized governments. The risk of 310 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:58.279 natural disasters, compounded by geography, climate changes, unregulated growth, and 311 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:03.200 substandard infrastructure inter sect to frustrate humanitarian relief. Growth will 312 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.039 magnify the increasing separation between rich and poor. Religious and 313 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.359 ethnic tensions will be a defining element in the social landscape. 314 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.119 Yeah, because they're doing the great. 315 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:16.599 Replacement precedented development as impoverishment, slums and shanty towns rapidly 316 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:21.119 expand alongside modern high rises, technological advances, and ever increasing 317 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:24.240 levels of prosperity. This is the world of our future. 318 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.359 It is one we are not prepared to effectively operate within, 319 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:32.119 and it is unavoidable. Megacities are complex systems where people 320 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.960 and structures are compressed together in ways that defy both 321 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.400 our understanding of city planning and military doctrine. It is 322 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.640 an ecosystem that demands a highly agile and adaptive force 323 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:46.519 to successfully operate within. Infrastructures will vary radically with concentrations 324 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:51.279 of high tech transportation, globally connected air and seaports, contemporary 325 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:56.240 water utilities and waste disposal intermixed with open landfills, overburdened sewers, 326 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.480 polluted water, and makeshift power gridts. Living habit tats will 327 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.119 extend from the high rise to the ground level cottage 328 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.519 to subterranean labyrinths, each defined by its own social code 329 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.839 and role of law. Social structures will be equally challenged, 330 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.839 if not dysfunctional, as historic ways of life clashed with 331 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.160 modern living. Ethnic and racial differences are forced to live together, 332 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.759 and criminal networks offer opportunity for the growing mass of unemployed. 333 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.599 This becomes the nervous system of non nation state unaligned 334 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:26.799 individuals and organizations that live and work in the shadows 335 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.240 of national rule. Where physical domains can be seen, Digital 336 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.720 domains will have limitless potential to breed and expand without limit. 337 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.720 Digital security and trade will be increasingly threatened by sophisticated, 338 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.720 ilicit economies and decentralized syndicates of crime to give adversaries 339 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.319 global reach at an unprecedented level. This will add to 340 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.640 the complexities of human targeting as a proportionally smaller number 341 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.200 of adversaries intermingled with larger and increasing number of citizens. 342 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.559 The scale and density of these domains is daunting. In 343 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.839 a city of ten million, where you hold the support 344 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.839 of ninety nine percent of the population, the remaining one 345 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.839 percent represents a threat of one hundred thousand. It is 346 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.079 an environment of convergence. Hidden amongst the enormous scale and 347 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.640 complexity of the megacity. These are the future breeding grounds, 348 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.920 incubators and launching pads for adversaries and high bred threats 349 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:20.160 linked globally. These are man made labyrinths that provide refuge 350 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.839 and movement across the vast sections of these cities where 351 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.359 alternate forms of governance have taken control. The advice of 352 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.799 doctrine from Sansu to current field manuals has provided two 353 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:34.000 fundamental options. Avoid the cities or establish a cordon to 354 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.759 either wait out the adversary or drain the swamp of 355 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.480 non combatants and engage the remaining adversaries in high intensity 356 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.640 conflict within Even our counterinsurgency doctrine honed in the cities 357 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.640 of Iraq in the mountains of Afghanistan is inadequate to 358 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.640 address the sheer scale of population in the future urban 359 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.720 reality from the streets of Achen to the Citadel and way. 360 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.119 We have defeated adversaries who attempted to use urban terrain 361 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.319 to their advantage. Oh inflict is written deep into the 362 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.200 Army's histories, But in Tomorrow's conflict, these megacities are orders 363 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.519 of magnitude, greater and complexity, and our current options do 364 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.480 not meet strategic ends. Our future operations must allow us 365 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.079 to rapidly return the city to the people. They will 366 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:16.640 be too large and complex to isolate or court on 367 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:19.400 in their entirety. Yet our soldiers will have to operate 368 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.200 within these ecosystems with minimal disruption and flow. Our current 369 00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.039 and past strategies can no longer hold. We are facing 370 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.960 environments that the masters of war never foresaw. We are 371 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:31.839 facing a threat that requires us to redefine doctrine and 372 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.880 the force and radically new in different ways. The future 373 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.440 Army will confront a highly sophisticated urban centric threat that 374 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.759 will require that urban operations become the core requirement for 375 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.519 the future Landforce. The threat is clear, our direction remains 376 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:52.720 to be defined. The future is urban, and again that 377 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.920 was done by the intercept. But one thing really strikes 378 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.000 me as I watch that and that is they're describing 379 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:04.920 this yestopian third world hell that is essentially the outcome 380 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.279 of current government policies in America as well as in Europe. 381 00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:11.880 They know exactly where they're going, and it is their 382 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:16.000 policies that are driving us into this. They want that 383 00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.880 The only thing they're concerned about in this video is 384 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.039 how do we maintain continuity of government? How do we 385 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:27.799 maintain control after we create this third world dystopian hell. 386 00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.519 That is the amazing thing they talk about. Yeah, the 387 00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:35.279 makeshift power grids. I highlighted some of the keywords that 388 00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:40.480 are in this a sense, the underliging individuals and organizations 389 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.359 that live in work in the shadows of national rule. 390 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.160 This is about wiping out all choice and concentrating wealth 391 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:50.440 in the hands of the few. They said, you know, 392 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.880 you're gonna have little tiny shanty towns where people are 393 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.799 building shacks in the street, living in the shadow of 394 00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.359 these amazing high rise, high tech things. Sounds like as that, 395 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.480 doesn't it. They want to make the entire world like that, 396 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:11.720 and so they want to overburdened sewers, polluted water, makeshift 397 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.960 power grids. Like Trump is saying, Yeah, I told these 398 00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.960 companies that are coming in here do manufacturing. You need 399 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.119 to set up your own power right there at the factory. 400 00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.839 Because a our power grid is old and it's falling 401 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.640
