The Cancelation of Mother Russia

Lance  00:00

How far can you push this beast this bear and go to Russia before they’re going to claw you back, we have now cut them off with a corporation’s American Express banking. We literally declared economic Armageddon on the Soviet Union. And now we’re talking about supporting Poland, if they send jets in, I’m telling you, we’re getting into very dangerous territory, we’re going to talk about the realities of this war and how globalism maybe is becoming a tool that is out of the control of even governments themselves. Don’t miss this broadcast. Let me just back up and say it wasn’t until 48 hours, that’s the first time and the two things that I was aware of Mercedes is I didn’t like the fact that I thought Obama did something right. And then I thought, Why? Why would I think that you can’t? Why would I think that eight years of Christian prayer could never prevail with the guy making a right call or a right decision ever? Well, and now I’m just I’m just going, that spirit of Leviathan that we talk about, will make you so that everything a person does in your mind gets twisted into evil. And you see this, you see this with the activist groups, they just become under a spirit where they cannot see good in anything they just become. It’s almost like a prejudice comes over the head. And I caught myself thinking, gee, it’s funny. And you know what it was, it was like Glenn Greenwald, it’s a guy I’m gonna have play for you, who’s very sharp. And he said Obama had the smarter policy. Ukraine is not a strategic value, don’t make it the frontline of foreign policy. With a battle with Russia. We don’t gain anything by winning that battle. That’s the point where Obama was wrong on so much. But how do I know he wasn’t right on Ukraine. At this point? I don’t think Ukraine is worth having world war three, or driving Russia into the arms of China and India, who are creating an alternative to the dollar, folks, the dollar is who loses America is who loses. Because now you know, Putin’s doing? He’s gone completely to China, their credit card system, he’s opening up his pipeline and all of his resources to feed cheap energy into China, America still won’t operate, wont turn on its engine. We still won’t draw. We’re going to Iran and Venezuela. We’re going to crazy regimes to buy their oil rather than manufacture our own. It is insane. So we just we’re the losers in this equation. But listen, I don’t want you to be a loser. I want to talk about something real quick gold, I want to talk about the gold and the silver. Russia’s doing something they’re putting all they decided they’re going to go 100% Down on gold in terms of their currency and they’re going to be pivoting over to China  and both China and Russia are heavy and gold. And one of the things that we’re looking at more seriously all the time is as the dollar is under the assault of cryptocurrency brought for all the enthusiasm for crypto, it weakens the dollarization of the world. For all the enthusiasm that we have received shaking her head for you and Peter Navarro have a difference of opinion? Well,

Mercedes  03:20

Navarro isn’t right about everything and you know what I just think of cbdc Sure, if we’re talking about Central Bank digital currencies, yes, but certain crypto projects crypto companies I won’t die on that hill right now but.

Lance  03:33

but but let’s let’s say that everything that when you have what what is weakening the dollar is when you’re moving your currency out of those things that the dollar is connected

Mercedes  03:44

Whats weakening the dollar is the fact that the dollar is backed by nothing. Whats weakening the dollar is poor economic policy for the last 30 years so that is whats  weaken the dollar.

Lance  03:53

Then why is gold good?

Mercedes  03:55

yeah, well, I mean, we’re in agreement I’m just saying it’s our collective trust in the quote unquote dollar that gives its value.

Lance  04:00

Why do you like Birch Gold?

Mercedes  04:02

Well, what’s great about gold or bitcoin is there’s a fixed amount of it and so when you know when the world’s everyone wants it as we’re seeing like to your point Russia’s creating a financial system backed by gold you know, it drives the price of gold up because there’s a fixed amount can’t just print it and print it into infinity like you do with the paper dollars so so you know the name of the game I think when it comes to any type of currency quote unquote, is our trust in it and so with gold like you said, you know, in the Bible talks about God says the gold is mine, the silver is mine, I think gold and silver will be be around probably until the Lord’s return. So if there’s anything you want to invest in, it’s going to be gold and silver. Possibly some cryptocurrency right now as we experienced record high inflation and gas prices. So yeah, if you want to invest in gold, then please visit Lancewallnau.com/birch and you get a free 21 page report. We hear all the time. from Birch about how many people are calling up, moving over what’s so cool about Birch Gold, I have to say this is the IRAs backed by gold. So you’ve got an IRA sitting around right now maybe it’s got 80,000 100,000 200,000 sitting there, and you’re watching it erode in value, because inflation turns out wasn’t transitory. And and now we’ve got everything going on with with Russia. And so what you want to do is get yourself an IRA backed by gold, meaning that dollar amount, there’s physical gold, that you they have it birch in six different locations that you could have, that’s going to back the amount of money you have in your account. So Won’t it won’t depreciate, since it’ll be gold back. So anyways, really cool. Go check it out. Lancewallnau.com/birch Back to you, Lance.

Lance  05:43

Thank you, Mercedes. Well, I’m glad to see we can agree on something

Mercedes  05:48

we agree on a lot. A lot. You know, and I was gonna say to, you know, you’re saying like, I just want some clarity, I guess, is what I’m after. But, you know, I don’t necessarily think it’s the fact that, you know, Trump chose to arm the Ukraine, or the fact that Biden’s doing a deal with Poland to send jets over I, you know, I really think, you know, at its core had had to deal with NATO, right. Like with Ukraine, potentially becoming part of NATO, it just became part of the EU, they accelerated that by a year. And then also, you know, the I’ve heard a lot of talk about this one segment in the Ukraine, where they built a dam, and it’s really cut off waterflow into, it’s all, you know, there’s so much of Russia, but that used to flow into like a southern part of Russia. And so like, those are the types of things like when you say, you know, we’re driving Russia into the arms of the Chinese, I kind of think Russia is driving Russia into the arms of the Chinese, more than more than we are.

Lance  06:41

And just because I want to anticipate I don’t want to become paranoid, but I know my people. Let me say this about Donald Trump and Russia, Trump had the right idea. He said, Why are we trying to make an enemy out of a nation who we can have a friend? Yeah, I mean, my gosh, he got it. Don’t let Russia and China link up, Nixon understood this. Try to be the wedge, he pivoted over to China, and he drove like Russia out. And then he go over to Russia and China would back he understood the polarity. we’re so dense that our state demand is almost like our policy causes our enemies, our friends to become enemies, and then the enemies all unite against us.

Mercedes  07:23

100% agree with that, and I really am concerned about, you know, what’s so strange, and I don’t know if I express it correctly earlier, but seeing corporations weaponized against Russia, you know, you would see it from from governments, but now it’s like, you know, YouTube’s gonna pull out or Netflix is going to pull out it’s so strange.

Lance  07:43

I’ts very scary. It’s very scary, because you see, after I saw GoFundMe, take the money out of the truckers hands out of the Americans hands out of you, if you helped support a trucker, who was trying to stand up against Trudeau, then the dang, you know, a Putin, if you’re all gonna be mad at Putin and be mad at Putin in Canada, he shuts down the truckers he takes seizes their assets, he threatens them with jail, he runs over them with his horses, he seizes their assets closes down their bank accounts. Basically, in every respect, what Trudeau did is was under Biden’s encouragement, they had a phone call when the bridge was clogged of the Ambassador Bridge up between Windsor Canada and like Detroit, Michigan. And they had and Biden’s regime said deal with it. Now Trudeau is tied in he is a Klaus Schwab trained, he is one of the young generals coming out of Davos, and they all brag about him as being one of their poster children for the next generation of leaders. So he had to demonstrate that he’s a strong, you know, totalitarian when he needs to be. GoFundMe, gets shut down, right, shuts down the funding for the truckers then GIveSendGo comes up and raises the money. And that gets shut down so that they can’t administrate their funds. And what’s happening is, we have no pushback on that. That’s the part that bothers me more than Trudeau. I understand how politics works. But now we’re going into commercial activism by corporations and to your point. And this is where we’re linking up I got off on Trudeau is it’s going into Russia. Now we have this and Thomas Friedman wrote the article I gave you guys today for the New York Times where he’s cheerleading as part of the New World Order about how Oh, the global outrage, we’re going to shut down this freedom. We’re going to shut down the freedom basically, of nations, if we decide it’s going to be socially reprehensible, from Netflix to America to McDonald’s, we will cut you off, we’ll cut off your banking, we’ll cut off your fuel. This is the same thing Trudeau was doing with the truckers only its broad scale. This is the danger of liberal progressive Marxist activism in the One World Business mountain

Mercedes  10:20

100%. And that’s right. That’s what I’m trying to get at. It’s like this, this policy, essentially of isolationism. And when you think about, you know how the devil operates the devil isolates, it’s like, if the devil can get you away from people, people who love and care about you, who would speak truth to you, it’s like, you just end up becoming more neurotic in your thinking, because you have nobody stopped, you knows, hey, you know what? I don’t think that’s right. That’s a really weird thought you shouldn’t be thinking that. And so here we are, collectively, as nations isolating Putin and Russia, and you just wonder what it’s going to lead to.

Lance  10:53

Its not healthy folks.

Mercedes  10:54

And I know we want to throw it to Karl, too. But the thing that I’m, I think I’m most concerned about is as we isolate, and before we talk even about a nuclear option, I believe there’s a cyber nuclear option that’s coming probably before that from Russia, they’re gonna totally pull out of, you know, our internet, whole new banking system. And my question is, are we going to see power grids go down? Are we going to see that type of response.

Lance  11:19

and you know why this works in a relationship, you start to do acts of vengeance. So okay, so even if there’s a ceasefire, what we’ve done has just deepened the morbid obsession with taking down America and China. Listen, China and Russia have formed a deal. They want they China has a delicate job they want. They need our money to keep their economy bloated and flowing and winning the war globally. But they want to imagine escalate the dollar as a weapon, they want to kill sanctions. Because we use that as a weapon globally, Trump knew how to do it, Trump knew how to put the though instead of deploying soldiers he employed deployed economic policy. But if you’re not a righteous nation, that can that can have a you know, that can smack in the butt very quickly to still come after you. Now, I don’t want to go down that road before we go back to Congress that you guys are going to say some over here, the producers chairs, what do we got to say what comments we have Carl and Jonathan, you got your headset over there and get we might call on you at any moment? Yeah, for

Carl  12:30

sure. Well, thank you for having us on, you know, the last hour or so of conversation, it, it was a lot to digest and to respond to, I guess, going into the idea of our view of heroes and villains in these stories as to what’s going on at the the geopolitical level, the international level, there is definitely a sunk cost bias with us being the hero of our own story. That’s the way that most people will tell stories, share personal anecdotes, they’ll tell you how they were wronged and how they overcame it more so than how they were the villain in their own story. And there’s also that type of identity that’s associated with your own country as well. So a lot of Americans will say America’s number one. Last time I checked, I, I don’t necessarily know if this is true, but I think we’re really only number one in free country’s highest rated incarcerated people per capita. And number of adults who believe in angels, I think is that Mexico beat us out for obesity. So again, that’s an old an old trope as for like America’s number one, but it’s that same type of ideology that goes into that. So when we’re talking about who’s the good guy who’s the bad guy, it’s difficult to really gauge especially in the modern Internet world, where the world to quote Friedman, who you were talking about dad, though, the New York Times journalist who wrote the opinion piece, he has another book out there called The World is Flat, I think is is what’s called talks about globalization, how the world is flattening to that, that degree. But there’s a lot of misinformation. There’s a lot of fake information that’s out there. And then we mentioned this last week, how the Department of Homeland Security has started to say that if you disseminate false information, you’re, quote a terrorist. So now we’ve actually lost the First Amendment. We’re not allowed to speak our opinions or our thoughts without being labeled as a terrorist. And the way that that segues into the truckers, one of the points that I heard from Canadian officials is that these people were domestic terrorists, for acting in what little way of what’s the word for it, activism that they could do whatever a little bit of activism they could do is what they were doing. And then based on that narrative, Americans were then funding terrorists. That was how the Canadians were able to shut that down as far as a narrative. And I think it’s concerning for sure. But as for what our actual repercussions are, and what our rights are as far as what we can do. In response to that, I think it’s kind of limited, you know, because how can American individuals side with what foreign nationals see as domestic terrorists without ourselves becoming the bad guys in that type of, you know, that interaction. So there’s there’s a lot going on. And I appreciate you guys giving me a quick two minutes shout out to kind of sum up, you know, the the libertarian perspective and all this. But I there’s just so much going on, it’s kind of hard to get that soundbite that actually is all encompassing. But I don’t know what what are your What are your thoughts?

Lance  15:32

Jonathan, did you have anything to add to that? I don’t we don’t ask Jonathan. He doesn’t say anything. So you have to sometimes suck Jonathan in the conversation.

Mercedes  15:37

He’s the introvert of the crew.

Jonathan  15:40

That is correct. It sometimes takes an ask a question to bring out the fountain of wisdom.

Lance  15:47

I  have a question. Just one question for you, Jonathan. Why do you have that that thing sticking up in the air? Is that the microphone part of your headset that can actually go down? Does that also work as a voice thing?

Jonathan  15:59

It works for the rest of our AV team so that they can hear what I’m saying. But it does not work for all audience. So Okay. All right. That is what this handy dandy mic is. Thank you. I love this conversation, because it kind of really went into more of a deep dive of what we discussed briefly in last week’s episode. So if you haven’t seen that episode, go check it out. Because we had a great guest with Gordon Pennington there as well. Great conversations with that, but I we briefly touched on this of of not getting caught in the trap of like Mercedes mentioned of creating a dichotomy of saying oh, well, it’s good versus evil when most conflicts in the world generally cannot be boiled down to one side is purely good and one side is purely evil. There’s going to be there’s there’s gray areas in it. There’s there’s complicating factors into it. And it’s important to like you said, Lance of not getting caught up in the media whirlwind of giving people messianic characteristics or qualities that they really don’t have. And while acknowledging the good, but not buying wholesale into it and saying that everything that they’re doing is therefore good, because they have some admirable qualities and characteristics. And even what Carl was saying earlier, during his comments about it’s really difficult in today’s day and age to really do that. Because it’s it’s very, we’re just we have a short attention span nowadays. And in trying to get all of that information out in a 60 minute, Tiktok video, a three minute Tiktok video, not 60 minutes, that would be thank goodness, they have not I’m so glad they don’t have that feature people that abused that very much, um, but trying to get your information from these sources. And unfortunately, that’s where a lot of a lot of people get their information from this exclusively just social media and when you see the evils of of some of the things that that have been happening in this Russia Ukraine conflict, and obviously you want to root for the little guy as opposed to the big bad Russia put like pushing down and we can all agree that there have been evil acts committed and and the conflict itself is not something that that we really should be involved in too heavily. And it’s, it’s you just you have to do more of a deep dive than then then getting just what you’re seeing on social media and exactly like you said, falling into the trap of, of worshipping these people for a few Admiral characteristics and qualities.

Lance  18:24

Well, look at this, we’re not going to be able to get into everything I wanted to talk about. We got to go into that we went over time a little bit. But I want to get into in the next podcast. The retired Army Colonel Douglas McGregor made the comment that he says this Alinsky is pursuing a strategy similar to ISIS in Syria, where they’re using civilians as human shields to increase the propaganda effect on Russians targeting and killing people, that they’re now mingling with the population just like the Middle East, they’re going into the cities and using the population as a shield. And that Putin has intentionally Pete, they say he’s bogged down. That is a Western propaganda narrative that comes out of the Ukrainian intelligence. Putin is actually working hard to capture most of Ukraine intact, and not flatten it if he wanted to flatten and he’s got the bombs and the ability to flatten entire cities and actually has done stuff like that in Syria. But he’s trying not to do that. He’s trying to keep it intact. His hope was that he would be seen more as a liberator and less as a butcher, in in how he and how he prosecuted this so you’re seeing all the footage and all the outrage as though he’s just indiscriminately going up and down the streets, blowing up buildings and shooting people that you’re looking at a Western. Remember the intelligence community and the Media are working together to create a narrative against Russia and defeat the drums of war. But the the the opinion of McGregor, as as a commentator and Colonel, is that he’s doing a lot less damage than we inflicted on Iraq, in 1991. And in 2003, where we really went and flattened out whole parts of neighborhoods. And so he’s trying to be strategic about what he’s doing. So we’re going to cover some more of this. And and before you go, you know, be able to protect yourself as we’re trying to do all the time with our own from cyber intrusion, cyber invasion, from having our data stolen. And I can’t tell you how many times in this past year, we’ve had to deal with that. All of you need to be looking at expressvpn.com/lance, go there and find out how to protect your digital identity, your digital assets, your communication, where you’re going, what you’re doing. I have never had a period of time where I’m more and more distrustful of the large corporations and the government, especially in the post January six world expressvpn.com/lance will give you a special discount if you’re interested in doing what we’ve done. And we’re bringing all of our digital devices and technology into a place where we have more autonomy and protection. And we’re gonna be back again soon.
