Trump's War Machine Empire EXPOSED (1)
welcome back to The Aaron Day Show. This is season three, episode ten, despite what that says up here. This was the title slide for last week's episode. And so obviously we have this on a different day this week. Usually the show is Thursday at six p.m. but I'm going to be on vacation for the next week. So we thought we would try to do this today as opposed to trying to do it on the road, which we've had minimal success with. Usually we have some kind of internet connectivity issue or something like that. And so we're going to have a special guest on today. Craig Wenkelwitz will be joining us to discuss what's going on with the Board of Peace in the broader context of World War III or whatever you want to call it is that we're engaged in right now. So I'll do the initial remarks now, and then I'll bring Craig on for the main discussion. So last week we discussed enemies of the state. I encourage you to check that out. Episode nine, season three. And we had Dan O'Neill on to discuss the event coming up. the enemies of the state event at the Libertarian National Convention to some separate event that goes alongside and will be in the same venue. And we also featured Roman Storm and talked about his tragic case where the government decided to actually retry him on two counts that were, you know, previously had a inconclusive result. And so now he's looking at potentially forty years instead of five years, which is where it had been heading. So I encourage you to go to freeromanstorm.com and check that out. I'm going to be highlighting some aspect of the enemies of the state party and the people that we're advocating for in every episode between now and that event. That is a tragic story and also indicates that As I've been saying, the war on crypto is not only not over, it's accelerated under Trump. More people are being indicted. People are being tried, sentenced, and in the case of Roman Storm, retried. So there is no indication whatsoever that the war on crypto is over, particularly for people who advocate for economic freedom, peace, and privacy. The episode prior to that was kind of a broader episode about my run for US Senate. And when I get back from spring break, I'm going to hit the campaign very aggressively. So we're going to begin collecting signatures to get on the ballot and are really going to ramp up the campaign itself. But as you recall, the whole point of this is, as I did successfully in twenty sixteen, the whole point is to try to get Trump to do what he said he was going to do. Um, and you know, in which case, you know, maybe I, maybe I don't end up running. Um, but once the signatures are collected and submitted, there's no getting off the ballot. And at this point, as of last week, the Democrats now have a slight edge. To capture control of the Senate. And it's a pretty much a foregone conclusion that they're going to win back the house. So, um, clearly Trump has, has, and the Republicans have not lived up to in any way, shape, or form their campaign promises. And at this point, at the rate that it's going, New Hampshire could very well turn out to be the make it or break it point for the US Senate. And so if they lose the House and the Senate, then basically Trump's looking at probable impeachment in the House and delays in the Senate and basically Whatever his agenda might be, which at this point, slowing down his agenda is probably a good thing based on what we've seen so far. But but from his perspective, if I'm Trump, I'm looking at this, you know, maybe he should try to do something and that something could be actually in the war on crypto. Pardon these crypto POWs. Stop the Clarity Act, which is the largest surveillance bill in the history of the United States and involves basically centrally controlling and tokenizing everything we own and making it easy to program and confiscate not just the money that you use, but all of your investments and everything that you own. Firing Howard Lutnik, which we've talked about on several episodes long before everyone else started to realize who Howard Lutnick was. And then the last thing I'm adding kind of a fourth component to it is he needs to absolutely take off the table, the draft, which is outrageous. He ran on no wars in the Middle East, and now they're talking about the draft. So I'll be putting something out more formally maybe this week about what's going on with respect to that. But if those things don't happen, then yeah, then I'm on the ballot and The Republican is sure to lose, and my campaign will be all about teaching people how to exit the system. I'm not running on the idea that I can go and fix Washington, D.C. I'm running on the idea that Washington, D.C. can't be fixed, but we never should have given our rights to... Our rights do not come from Washington, D.C. We need to remember that and we need to start taking direct control of our own lives, our own money, our own health care. And the best way to do that is to just exit the system, which is what the campaign will be about. Podcast before that was with Ray Youssef and other crypto POW similar charges as Ian Freeman. And we will certainly be talking about him or hopefully maybe he can even attend the Enemies uh the state conference and just if you're looking the dates for the libertarian convention are may the twenty first through the twenty fifth in grand rapids michigan so i'm going to be there for the whole conference but not participating in the actual conference itself there's a crypto corner so i'm going to be there talking to people about how they can exit the system and use privacy coins and use the daylight freedom solutions that that we've launched and then we'll be participating in the enemies of the state parties. The enemies of the state party is going to be great. I mean, I don't even know now how many, you know, we're probably going to have a dozen people that we're advocating for. It's going to be a great venue. The same people that did the event in twenty twenty four, right. You know, the night before Trump came out and announced that he was going to commit Ross Ulbricht's sentence, same team and just phenomenal, you know, vibe for the event. So I encourage you to check that out so i'm going to bring on uh craig and walk through this tonight just as a an intro to this uh you know as everybody knows who's been watching this show i've been focused on warning people first about cbdc's and then about technocracy and the funny thing is if you don't understand what's going on in the world with the conflict in the Middle East, it turns out you're going to run across technocracy again. And so if you've been following the story, when was the last time you felt like the news was telling you the truth? Kind of semblance of an answer on both sides. But if you listen to both sides, Israel has been obliterated and Iran has been obliterated. And so that's not the case. But what we're going to go through tonight is I want to kind of show you a pattern that started in eighteen sixty one with J.P. Morgan selling defective rifles to the union. Law soldiers and ends in twenty six today with the president's sons investing in drug companies one week after their father started bombing. Two hundred and fifty years of the exact same playbook, this war profiting construct. But it's a little bit, which is time in two hundred and fifty years. They're not even hiding it this time. Talk about with the Board of Peace. You know, the charter says chairman for life. The stock symbol is P.U.S.A. The Sun announces the Sun's announced drone deals on social media. Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law, presents a thirty billion dollar Gaza real estate plan at Davos. He's pitching a development made to be built on. I'm going to walk through all the names. Craig and I are going to walk through a variety of different facets of what's going on with this. But it's mind blowing when you consider that actually some even people today are like, we defeated the globalists, you know, and people are talking about, well, the UN is going away. Well, the UN may or may not be going away. But when you look at the Board of Peace, it's hard to find any actual difference between the board and what it is people's claim they didn't like about the UN. In fact, it even has some of the same overlapping characters. And so, so with that, I'll kind of jump into this, you know, we'll start with kind of the, you know, the pattern here, as I said, which is, you know, war profiteering, but then I would say taken to the next level, which is, this goes beyond war profiteering, it's war profiteering, but then also for the express purpose of expansion and expanding a technocracy. And none of it has anything to do with America. America's interests are not being protected here. These expansions into areas like Gaza and so forth don't benefit the American people. They actually benefit specific investors, specific entities. These are the people profiting from it. There's no America first or even America involvement in this other than providing the money and the troops to benefit these people. Oh, I see we have Patrick Woods here. Oh, that's a surprise. All right. Well, there we go. Hey, Patrick, how are you? Hello? Patrick, are you there? Hi, guys. Hi, how are you? I'm pretty good. Thank you. You were just, you were just breaking up a little bit, uh, Aaron. Oh, I was before I heard it. Courtney heard it. Well, Hey, I can hear it a little bit too. How's my sound. Okay. All right. Is this any better? Can you hear me? Okay. Now sounds good. Okay. Good. All right. Well, welcome. Welcome on. You know, we're talking about the board of peace here today and related ideas. So glad to have you on Patrick. I know you've, you've written and covered this area a lot as well. You bet. You're hitting a major nerve at this point. This needs to be uncovered, unpacked, spread around all over the universe. This is the most egregious thing I've seen in my life vis-a-vis technocracy taking over everything in sight. Incredible. Yeah, it is. It is. And actually, it wasn't on my radar either. I mean, I actually when it was announced and everything and then I saw that silly press conference they had where everybody was was standing around celebrating under under the, you know, Board of Peace sign. But but it really took digging into it to figure out what's going on here. And, yeah, it's outrageous. And no one's talking about it. You actually don't see it covered. um, obviously in mainstream news, but I'm not even seeing this talk about on alternative channels. And so I think you're right. This is a topic that, that needs to blow up. People need to understand exactly what's going on here. And actually from my perspective, having learned about it, uh, it makes everything makes sense. I mean, you may wonder why, well, what's going on in Venezuela, what's going on in Ecuador, why are all of these things happening? And it seems like it doesn't make any sense until you understand what's going on with the word, uh, word of peace. Exactly, yeah, incredible. Well, I was gonna start this with just a quick overview for people who may not be familiar with kind of the history of war profiteering, just to put this, take a few steps back and put it into context. And so I've got just a little bit of information here that might be helpful for people. You have, as I mentioned in the intro, JP Morgan got involved in this going all the way back to the Civil War. So this is kind of where it starts. Morgan bought defective all carbine rifles from the government for three dollars and fifty cents each and then sold them back to a union general for twenty two dollars. And these were defective rifles. They were actually blowing off soldiers thumbs. And so, you know, surprise, surprise. This seems to be a bad one. Congress investigated and he was cleared by a federal judge. But then Morgan went on to become the most powerful banker ever. in American history. You then have also Brooks Brothers who supply supply uniforms that were so cheap they actually dissolved in the rain and they called them shoddy millionaires. And so that's actually where the term comes from, which I thought that was interesting because now, you know, Brooks Brothers today has a kind of they rehab the brand fairly well. But this is eighteen sixty one. So sell the government defective weapons. Soldiers lose their thumbs. Nobody goes to jail. So just kind of remember that that pattern and it gets worse. We then have the Spanish American War in eighteen ninety eight. More soldiers died from the food than from the enemy. So three thousand soldiers died from food poisoning, only two hundred and eighty from combat. The secretary of war, Russell Alger, arranged rushed contracts with Armour, Swift and Morrison Co. And so they shipped embalmed beef, chemically treated adulterated beef was sent to the troops. So in the end, this guy Alger was forced to resign, but no criminal charges. The contractors kept their money and the soldiers stayed dead. So three thousand soldiers killed by their own food supply and the secretary of war arranged the contracts. But we're not done Because this, again, it's a pattern. World War I, we have the merchants of death. We have DuPont. Look at these numbers. So the stock of DuPont went from twenty to a thousand during this time. They supplied forty percent of all allied propellant powder. So their annual profits went from five million to eighty two million, which was a sixteen X increase. There was something called the Nye Committee that investigated whether the bankers pushed America into World War I for profit. And they investigated. Of course, they didn't come back with any accurate results. But then Congress then passed the first excess profits tax in American history, but the bankers kept their money anyway. So they initially investigated whether Wall Street actually started a war for profit. The answer was probably yes, but then the punishment was a tax that they ended up finding a way around. So then in World War II, we have Henry, at the time, Senator Henry, or excuse me, Harry Truman was, you know, one man from Missouri who created a committee with a fifteen thousand dollar budget. He actually exposed ten to fifteen billion dollars in waste, which is the equivalent of two to three hundred billion dollars in today's terms. They found that Curtis Wright sold defective airplane engines to the military, forged the inspection reports. So Truman caught them. So this is the only time in two hundred fifty years that war profiteering was actually confronted in real time. There were four hundred hearings, subpoena power, public shaming. So one senator with fifteen thousand dollars exposed fifteen billion. And so, you know, remember that to the end. So it is it is possible. But after Truman, they made it sure They made sure it wouldn't happen again. So we have a couple more examples. We have Vietnam, Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam. This was this is a direct precedent of what's happening now. So you had Brown and Root, who bankrolled LBJ's entire political career from Texas congressman to president. They funded every campaign and there was a three hundred and eighty million dollar contract. So once LBJ escalated Vietnam, Brown and Root won the contract. And the GAO found massive accounting lapses and widespread theft. The company that made him president literally got paid by his war. So you can replace the names LBJ, Brown and Root, Trump, Kushner, Rowan, who we'll talk about tonight, same basic concept, sponsor the politician, start the war, win the contracts. So the company that funded his career got the war contracts from his war. And we're seeing that happen. again and again i could go into detail on all these things in great at great length but then you have iraq you have dick cheney and halliburton and this is one that most people are familiar with maybe not some of the younger people but the numbers are even worse than you may remember or you know we're told at the time uh cheney received a thirty six million dollar severance package from halliburton so he was the ceo from nineteen ninety five to two thousand he left with thirty six million then still received a million dollars a year in deferred compensation as vice president right so this is a new realm of you know usually you're paying off somebody else or maybe there's some kind of delay this is like going on while he's actually actively uh in power there is a seven billion dollar no bid contract kbr halliburton subsidiary got a seven billion dollar no bid contract And there was a whistleblower named Bonnetine Greenhouse, the Army's top contracting official, who was demoted. So the total Halliburton Iraq contracts totaled thirty nine and a half billion dollars over the decade. So this is a case where they were charging forty five dollars for a case of soda, eighty five thousand dollars for trucks that were abandoned in the desert. so on and so on and so you know again just at this point i just want to make sure people are are seeing the um the pattern iraq twelve billion dollars in cash on cargo planes i mean this is just absurd you've probably seen some of these memes but literally twelve billion dollars in cash paul bremer's coalition provisional authority flew twelve billion dollars in shrink-wrapped hundred dollar bills into iraq on c-one-thirty cargo planes the largest cash disbursement in u.s history i guess maybe if exceptions might be for medicaid as we find out about it a little bit more here over the over the next few months but uh they basically used lemonade stand accounting they use single entry cash accounting no double entry books literally zero audit trail. So eight point eight billion vanished. Iraqi oil revenues just gone. The Iraqi parliament says it's actually eighteen point seven billion ghost employees paid on payroll, millions paid for phantom work. So they flew twelve billion dollars of cash into a war zone, kept the books like a lemonade stand. Eight point eight billion disappeared. Nobody went to prison. And but wait, there's more. We're almost at the end here until we get into the new the new fraud, the new day. which is Afghanistan, which was a one hundred and forty billion dollar failure. This was a twenty year conflict. And, you know, what you need to know from a numbers perspective, we built a forty three million dollar gas station. So they built a compressed national gas station that was supposed to cost fifty thousand, but ended up a little bit over budget at forty three million. Twenty six to twenty nine billion dollars confirmed lost Actual losses may be up to six hundred billion dollars. So the cigar inspector general called the Afghan government essentially a white collar criminal enterprise. The CIA used cash to buy warlord loyalty, binding America to notorious figures for decades. Absolutely no oversight, no accounting, no consequences. So a forty three million dollar gas station, six hundred million dollars in potential losses. And the inspector general called the entire government a criminal enterprise. So this is what we're looking at here. So the kind of the summary of this comparison table didn't come out very well. You know, the pattern is dollar amounts get larger every single war. The oversight gets weaker every single time. The accountability gets smaller until it completely disappears. And at this point they've eliminated oversight entirely. No inspector general, no independent audit, no subpoena authority by design. It's not really corruption because that implies that the system is supposed to work differently. This is actually baked into the fundamental process itself. So if you give a small group of people the power to wage war and write checks, they will wage war and write checks to themselves every single time for two hundred and fifty years. So the Board of Peace charter wasn't corrupted. Right. This isn't a situation where they started out with the Board of Peace and it became this horror show. It was literally written this way on purpose that the crafting of this was well aware of the two hundred and fifty year history of war profiteering. And they just now put it in writing. So with that, I just wanted to give everybody just a background here in the story, just so that there's context to this. Even by this historical standards, what we're going to talk about tonight is next level. Amen. Yeah. Like you said, Aaron, follow the money. That's the key, right? Exactly. Who said all wars are banker wars? I don't remember who said that, but I remember that in years gone by. Yeah, I've heard that too. I don't remember who. It was probably the guy who wrote Creature from Jekyll Island. What was his name? Yeah, it could be. Yeah, I could hear Anthony Sutton saying something like that as well. Michael Rivero, an independent journalist, radio host, and founder of the site whatreallyhappened.com, I guess is a big figure. Okay. Yeah. Well, we have a new thing on the table now because with this business of tokenizing assets... Not money. All the cash that were on that airplane, it got distributed. It was incredible. But if cash is going to be let out of the picture and tokens are coming in like gangbusters at this point, especially Trump's new token, USD-One, that's based on World Liberty Financial, uh, system that was started just in. Like September of it's over it's worth over thirteen and a half billion dollars at this point. Who does that except the president of the United States, but well, yeah, it's incredible. So we've talked a lot about tether and USDC in the past, but, but boy, USD one has has really emerged. Trump didn't want to get cut out of this. And I guess he looked at Lutnik and said, Hey, look, I'm not going to let Lutnik have all of the fun. But the story behind the USD one is is worse than than I thought. Trump essentially pardoned CZ, who is the CEO of Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. And then magically, right after the pardon, CZ arranges a two billion dollar investment from Abu Dhabi into World Liberty Financial, which is the Trump decentralized platform. CZ also created the USD one coin from a technical perspective. He actually is the one who basically built the token. And it's my understanding that CZ controls eighty percent of the supply of USD one. This is just mind boggling to me. I wasn't paying any attention to to it because it looked like a kind of a shoddy platform. I'm like, OK, let's give me another thing that Trump family puts their name on. And, you know, they're just trying to get involved in the hype a little bit, have an exchange. And then it turns out this USD one stable coin is is serious business. For some months after twenty twenty four, people were saying, well, it was just his son, Barron, who was just fooling around with meme coins, you know, and then all of a sudden out of the gate comes World Liberty Financial. And now they're promoting it as, quote unquote, the up the upgrade for the dollar. Yes. Yes. Yeah, they are. And I think Pakistan, there's five billion dollars worth of USD one in Pakistan. And as we'll talk about this place, I believe into the entire strategy of what what this adventure is and that we're doing with all of these conflicts all over the world. I think it's an anchor for it. But before we get into that, I just want to explain really quickly what what is going on with this board of peace, kind of the mechanics of it, which is. They signed the documents in the charter for this on January the twenty second of this year at Davos. So again, I want to because there are a lot of people out there that this has been one of the most difficult things I think we've had to confront, which is Trump won and therefore they think that the globalists lost and the U.N. lost and the W.E.F. uh, is over and some, you know, it got, it was great branding because somehow, um, people thought America first and our sovereignty was gonna be protected and so on and so forth. And we're gonna get our way, get ourselves out of these organizations only to find that this new board of peace was signed and announced at Davos, like it was a product launch for a tech company. It's, it's kind of an interesting, interesting way. They went about it. So they signed the most brazen war profiteering charter in American history at the World Economic Forum in front of press. And it literally was a photo op. And so here's the structure of this thing. So the CEO serves for life and the or the chairman, I guess, serves for life. And the chairman is Donald Trump. So this isn't confined to his presidency. He literally has this position for life. He can veto any decision and he can dissolve the whole thing whenever he wants. So we're framing this correctly. If you want to participate in this, there's a billion dollar membership fee. No independent audit, no inspector general, but that's the fee. Disputes are resolved by amicable collaboration with the chairs, the final arbiter. It has a private army of twenty thousand soldiers with a guy by the name of Major General Jasper Jeffers, excuse me, commanding it. Thomas Wallner, And so I countries, I guess, have have signed on board for this, and so just very simply, you have a chair for life billion dollar membership private army know audit and they call it a peaceful. Thomas Wallner, So, and then sorry well who is who is on the board of the board of peace. So we've got these eight people. You know, if you're not looking at the screen, you know, I'll walk through it at a high level who they are. But it's it's astonishing to me some of the names on here. Again, if if your vantage point was, you know, we're breaking free from these global organizations. Wait, wait until you get a lot of this. So we've got Trump. We have Kushner on there. Jared Kushner is Trump's son in law. And he now is running something called Affinity Partners, where he manages billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. And for this, for managing this money, he gets a twenty five million dollar a year fee. Now, I want to point out something here, which we learned shortly after we bombed Iran, people were asking him. You know, we were kind of like, you know, when we bombed Iraq, we went through this whole, you know, yellow cake and we had Colin Powell in front of the UN, so on and so forth. This is not what we have here. We don't have a credible threat that they were two weeks away. Iran was two weeks away from enough uranium or whatever for a nuclear bomb. Trump said that he based his decision based on information from Jared Kushner. who has no official role with our government, who is managing a fund that largely monetizes these reconstruction projects. So Kushner is the second person. Mark Rowan is another board member. He is the CEO of Apollo Global, which is a financial firm with seven hundred and eighty five billion dollars under management. Rowan's firm has valued Gaza's coastline at fifty billion dollars, and he is currently facing Epstein securities class action lawsuit right now. So this is this is the dream team that we have. We have Wyckoff, who is Trump's real estate partner, who's turned Middle East envoy and his whose his son took over the company but kept dealing with the same Gulf investors that Dad invested with. And so the UAE bought five hundred million dollars of World Liberty Financial four days before the inauguration. So Witkoff, if CZ is the guy technically behind the token USD one, Witkoff is actually the guy who's kind of the CEO of running that project while being the US's Mideast envoy. You then have Tony Blair, the Iraq war architect, who's also behind the Blair Foundation or whatever. He's one of the main guys pushing digital ID around the globe. I mean, I think most Trump supporters prior to the election were not fans of Tony Blair. I mean, he's been on kind of a globalist hit list for a long time of people that, you know, people were calling him demonic before, you know, even the Epstein files and everything else. And now here he is on the board. We have Marco Rubio, We have Guy Gabriel, Robert Gabriel, who is Deputy NSA Director. And then we have Ajay Banga, who is the World Bank President. So this is the team that we have behind the Board of Peace, Only four of the twenty six are actually rated free, according to the Freedom House Index. France, Germany and the UK all said no. So they all said no. But these eight people said yes. These eight people on the screen right here are are the main board members of your your board of peace. So I don't know if you guys have anything you want to add about about the structure of this team or any of these people. I counted, there's three members of the board that are on the trial auto commission as well. Just a small detail, I'm sure. Can we go through a few of these guys, Aaron? Absolutely. Okay, so let's go through this. So we've got, obviously, most people are familiar with Marco Rubio, and there's a little bit of a talk of... Let me do this. I have slides on some of them. So let's start with Kushner. OK. So you mentioned Kushner Affinity Partners. And he's raised over three billion, mostly from sovereign wealth funds. And two billion of that, three billion, is from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. And it's focused on, and I think this is important, technology and real estate. I mean, that's kind of what's going on over in that region when we talk about Gaza, which I'm sure we'll get into. So it's a perfect fit. Right now, just as of three days ago, he's trying to raise five billion dollars from foreign governments and other private equity firms. And that's only the beginning. You know, that's only going to get bigger. His brother, Josh Kushner, OK, who's got, I think, one of the Wexner models is his wife, Les Wexner models. He owns another firm called Drive Capital, twenty five. Billing and Asset Center Management. He's backed by major tech companies, Instagram, Spotify, Stripe, OpenAI, Robinhood. And I think that's a really important one because that's Vlad Tenov. And he's major problems because this goes back to, remember the whole, what was it, the theaters, AMC, and what was the other one? GameStop. GameStop. GameStop. Yeah, GameStop. And that's when he essentially hosed his clients. But this guy's a bad apple. I've watched him very closely. And Vlad Tanoff's one of the bad guys on the bad guy list for sure. And then... So... He raised ten billion of new funding already in twenty twenty six. This is Josh Kushner. OK, and he owns sixty six percent or five point three billion of the fund. He's also involved. I think we'll see this later on in the year. He's also owns Oscar Health and and then notable backers are Henry Kravis, which is more private equity. And I think that's what we're going to get into a lot, too, is this thing structured long term, a lot like a private equity fund would be right. It's a lot of nonvoting rights. with a lot of long-term, you know, money, long-term structure to it. And so I think that's good enough for now. Bob Iger backs him. And he's, look, this Josh Kushner, I mean, you remember the Kushner dad, right? He got in trouble for some real estate dealings and so forth. And I think Trump pardoned him in Trump One.O, if I'm not mistaken. But this Josh Kushner hangs around with all the Wall Street crowd. I mean, he's in with all the Goldman Sachs CEOs, you know, Lloyd Blankfein. He hangs out with all of them down in the Caribbean. So just this whole Kushner thing, it's just bad on the surface, and it's bad the deeper you dig. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah. How's it sound Aaron? Is it okay? Sounds fine. Okay, good. Anything Patrick? Well, yeah, it's a rat's nest. It really is. And we have to mention also Trump's other sons, Don Jr. and Eric as well. They're in the mix with the World Liberty Financial Organization. They're kind of running it at this point, I think. yeah we'll get to them because they're also involved with with drone technology as well which i you know just again it's it's it's just breathtaking what's going on here um but we then have we have mark rowan uh do you want to say some some i think you probably know rowan And Apollo much better than I do, Craig. Yeah. Yeah. So so he was just how do I phrase this? Probably the best thing is when he formed Apollo Group, he formed it with a guy named Leon Black. OK, and Leon Black, we just found through all the Epstein. We knew that Leon Black was a bad apple a long time ago. But we found we just found through that, you know, all resurfaced with the release of some of the Epstein files and emails that Leon Black was one of the probably one of the worst sex offenders that were in the group. Just I mean, just terrible stuff. I mean, when you read it, it's just, you know, makes you sick. I mean, beyond sick. So Mark Rowan, his partner. in this. Well, let me just finish with Leon Black. Leon Black, his son, Ben Black, is in the administration as well, in the Trump administration, and he's handling the Chinese negotiations. So Trump's planning to go to China the end of the month, but that looks like today it was in the headlines that it might get delayed for a month. But Ben Black's handling a lot of the Chinese negotiations. Not only that, Ben Black has been put in charge of the insurance company that was put together to insure Freight going through the Strait of Hormuz. So Leon Black, this bad actor, and his son, Ben Black, is now in the administration. So again, we have a lot of father-son, a lot of father-son relationships going on here. It's definitely a theme. And then when we go to Mark Rowan, he denies any involvement with Epstein. But we've seen the emails from twenty thirteen to twenty sixteen that he definitely had interaction with Epstein. And not only that, he has a background at University of Pennsylvania. He's been called a crusader against anti-Semitism. So essentially what he's doing is he's trying to he's trying to, you know, this is a propaganda thing. Right. You know, he goes in. you know, comes in, says, you know, University of Penn, you know, is a crusader, you know, they're, you know, anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism. And then what do they get? They get a free pass, right? They can pretty much do whatever they want. And so with that kind of a mindset, he's probably not one of the best guys to have on the board when you're really trying to look out for the Palestinians. It just doesn't fit real well, right? If you're trying to find a solution to Gaza and the Palestinians, it probably isn't your guy, right? That's pretty much it on Mark Rowan for me. Oh, the one other thing. Let me add one other thing to Mark Rowan. He was also in the Trump administration this time around. He was on the shortlist for secretary of treasury. So Scott Besson is our secretary of treasury. Mark Rowan was also on that shortlist for secretary of treasury. Yep. Yep. And he's facing, you know, again, this. Black paid Epstein one hundred and fifty eight million dollars. So, yeah, that's quite this. So I guess Apollo shares have dropped fifteen percent. If not more, I haven't actually checked the update on this lately, but yeah, this is this is amazingly corrupt that this is going on, that you have people under investigation. As a result of the Epstein files that are on the Board of Peace. Kind of unrelated, but I saw today that Bank of America just settled a lawsuit related to their involvement with Epstein. So another civil penalty or whatever. No one went to jail. They just wrote a check and made it all go away, which is just amazing. There's no acknowledgement at all from the Trump administration or anyone in it that there was any wrongdoing. whatsoever and there's almost there's zero shame whatsoever for being associated with it directly or working with people who are directly associated with it even if these people are actively being sued which is just mind-boggling to me you know usually you try to throw somebody under the bus they're not even throwing anybody under the bus they're not even They're not even trying to find a scapegoat. They're just like, ah, this doesn't even exist. We're going to ignore this Epstein thing altogether. I'm blown away by this Apollo Group thing because I think this is one of the bad actors in the private equity space. I can guarantee these guys have done some very bad deals through the years. But the biggest thing is, I mean, the fact that this administration could care less that Ben Black is, you know, one of the key negotiators in the, you know, on behalf of China, which is, again, second largest, you know, economy in the world, our, you know, major trading partner. And, you know, that he's insuring the ships. He's in charge of the entity that they put together to insure the ships that are actually going through this trade of war moves. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. You know, I mean... And the fact that nobody covers this. I mean, I watch the financial news and I'm like, is this the same Ben Black, Leon Black? And you just you really can't believe you in a country of three hundred fifty million people that this this is who we end up with is Ben Black, Leon Black's son, Mark Rowan. It's just it really is just crazy. It's just crazy. Yeah, Patrick, I don't know if you have anything you want to add on. Roland, we'll go to Witkoff's next, unless you have anything you want to add on. No, Witkoff, he needs to be covered for sure. All right, do you want to talk about Witkoff? No, if you've got some good information, go for it. All right, well, I would just say that, I mean, the hook here is that, you know, you have the Witkoff family, the father negotiates the peace, quote, and then the sun signs the deal is kind of the model with this. So, as I said in the intro, Steve Witkoff is Trump's former real estate business partner, turned head of, you know, USD one as part of World Liberty Financial, and then now Middle East Envoy. And, you know, he sold his one hundred and twenty million dollar stake to resolve conflicts of interest. But this is, you know, people need to understand that It's the same with Lutnik, you know, Lutnik claims that, well, you know, he's no longer the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and therefore he has no involvement and there's no conflict of interest yet his sons. Ron Cantor Fitzgerald and directly benefit. This is a complete and total cop out. Of course he's benefiting from it. And of course his family is benefiting from it. And you have the same situation here as well. So Steve is saying, well, hey, I'm absolved of this. I've sold my one hundred and twenty million dollar state. Now you can go and work with my son, Alex, who is the new CEO, and we'll just hand over all of the investors to him. But hey, there's no conflict. Right. I don't even know how you begin to deal with that, but it's so blatant on the surface. But then they can say, well, yeah, no, I fill out the forms. I'm not personally benefiting from it. You know, this is one of the things that a lot of people aren't aware of. I mean, a lot of people aren't aware of how finance works at all, how corporations work, how. Offshore stuff works, but this is the way that these people get to control all of this stuff while still being technically above board, but it's blatantly corrupt underneath. World Liberty Financial is run by his son, Zach, who runs it with Trump's sons. The UAE bought a five hundred million dollar stake just four days before the inauguration. Now, do you remember there are a lot of people that were saying, well, after Trump's first term, you know, he's really gearing up. And what is it? Project twenty twenty five. And they're doing all this stuff and they're being all silent behind the scenes. But they're going to come back and they're going to arrest all the bad guys. And there's going to be all this justice. It turns out the planet they were planning. But what they were planning was nothing like what they said they were planning. which was, you know, throw all the bad guys in jail and drain the swamp and make America first. None of that. I don't think any of that planning was going on at all. But you have this five hundred million dollar investment four days before the inauguration. You have the two meme coins, Trump and Melania, the night before the inauguration. Now, I mean, it takes planning to do all this stuff. You don't just do a five hundred million dollar deal at the snap of a finger. You don't create a meme coin and launch the meme coin in twenty four hours. These were plans that had been worked on for a long period of time. And as a reminder, the public has lost four point three billion dollars on these Trump meme coins. So this is what was set up now. Of the five hundred million dollars, my understanding of the UAE investment, one hundred and eighty seven million went to the Trump family and thirty one million went to the Witkoff family. In other words, the UAE bought some of shares in World Liberty Financial, but some of the shares weren't just the general corporate shares. They bought the actual shares held by the Trump and Witkoff families. So literally one hundred eighty seven million dollar payoff. I actually you know, we never could get that. There was all that. Back and forth. Is Trump even a billionaire? And people were trying to fight over his tax returns. I am of the opinion that Trump has made more money in the last in this second term than he had net worth going into it. That's how big I think this actually is. So so that's what you have. So so dad sells a stake to look clean. Some takes over, keeps the same deals going. Conflict of interest didn't disappear. They just changed the first name. And so that's, that's essentially what I have on the Whitcomb. I'm sure there's a lot more, but that's on the surface, at least what I know about it. Yeah. Go ahead, Patrick. Well, this family has been, uh, friendly with the Trump organization for years and years. They're like, I wouldn't say blood brothers, but they're very, very close. And they've participated in many deals over the years. The fact that Witkoff is even in the scene tells you how close he was. And that's almost, you could almost add him into like the nepotism charge at this point. So, and with his sons as well. um so this is a very tight tight-knit group of people running this company world world liberty financial yeah well and you know we can't forget that wickoff and kushner are negotiating both the gaza deal and the ukraine russian war and i don't think those things are disconnected And when we look at the Ukraine-Russian war, there was a recording that was leaked of Wyckoff sort of backdooring a deal where, you know, he was telling Russia how to negotiate a deal with the U.S. We don't know. I don't know the details on all of that, but but it's definitely out there and it was in the news for a while. So there's I guess the thing to take away on this is there's. There's clearly a well, not only that, there was an interview and most people probably seen it. If not, it's pretty easy to find. You can find it on X or anywhere and you can just look up. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, I think it was even on Sixty Minutes, if I'm not mistaken, where they were asked, you know, something about the stand, you know, the Hamas, you know, October seven, Hamas, Israel invasion, I think, too. just a pure stand down. But the point, I mean, I think that's pretty cut and dry. But the point is, Witkoff got caught calling it a master plan. And Jared Kushner was very uneasy when Witkoff said that. So the point is that they had, and they said it was two years that they've had this master plan in place, right? So these are Witkoff's own words. There's a master plan here. It went on, it was well known before October seventh, right? The, you know, the Israel Hamas situation. And he said it, you know, and Jared Kushner was very uneasy. Like those were the quiet words, pal. You don't say those things out loud. And it didn't really matter because there's no, there's no punishment. There's no penalty. There's no retribution. There's no nothing. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And, and when we get into, into this on the Gaza situation, so the Gaza executive board has eleven members. Four of them are board members from the Board of Peace. So Kushner, Rowan, Witkoff and Blair all sit on the main executive board and on the Gaza executive board. So they control the governance layer and the operational layer. And they're calling it a technocratic form of government. This isn't our like we're not it's not us saying, hey, look, this looks like technocracy. They're calling it a technocracy. They're not hiding from it. They're actually putting that forward as a feature. So I'll get to that actually in a couple of slides. This is just, this one is just kind of the, to show how heavily involved the Board of Peace is, these four players are with the Gaza reconstruction. And just, you know, as you were saying, Craig, you know, the situation here, Thomas Wallner, You know, did they bring about October the seventh and just as a reminder what's going on and Gaza, so many thousand killed at three percent destroyed, and you have. Thomas Wallner, Two point three million people displaced, so the actual carnage in Gaza is is absolutely. Devastating. You're looking at ninety two percent of the housing stock is gone. I should have put some. I mean, there's this image, but this this is obviously it's a generated image. But frankly, it's I probably should just put a real image of what Gaza looks like. Ninety seven percent of schools hit four hundred and sixty two out of five hundred and sixty four schools hit directly in Gaza. Sixty percent of hospitals are non-functional. a hundred percent have been displaced. That's a nineteen year blockade. The UN has called it the world's largest open air prison. You have Amnesty International saying there's sufficient evidence of genocide. So, you know, when you destroy eighty three percent of a city's buildings, ninety two percent of its housing, ninety seven percent of its schools, that's not war, right? That's that's a demolition. Why would you why would you bomb all of these schools? right? I mean, again, this isn't a military operation. This is a complete and total leveling of the area. So, you know, that's evident by, again, just the physical carnage to the place. So now we get into the technocratic rebuilding of it. So this is the fascinating thing that should be on people's radar. They're calling it Project Sunrise. So this is the Name of the project to rebuild Gaza. It is a one hundred and twelve billion dollar, twenty year road map driven by Kushner and Witkoff. They are calling it the Middle East Riviera. They're proposing one hundred and eighty skyscrapers, data centers and AI powered smart grid. They are actually calling for this to be structured with AI powered smart cities. And their goal is that by the end of year ten, seventy percent of Gaza's coastline will be monetized. So when we're talking technocracy, we're talking biometric surveillance. Again, this is their plan, not anybody even, you know, even projecting what this might mean. This is the actual plan. Every resident must register with biometric documentation. through Kogat, which is Israel's military coordination body. There is, this is critically important, a US dollar peg stable coin with every transaction on the blockchain fully trackable. And it's my understanding that what they're actually trying to do is make USD one, the Trump family stable coin that Wyckoff controls. They want that to be this digital currency. They want that to be the US dollar. But understand, they're describing it that the money should be trackable. If you wanted any evidence as to whether the Genius Act or these government regulated stable coins are backdoor CBDCs, this is it. This application of it shows you. exactly how it's going to work this dollar back stable coin that can be tracked tied into biometric surveillance that is tied into israel's military coordination body all tied into smart cities and an ai surveillance grid this is it like this is the model reconstruction project for technocracy So I'll say a few more things about this. If you own the property, you get a digital token. That token is exchangeable for redevelopment rights, relocation abroad in a future apartment. So you can swap your ancestral home for a digital coupon or leave the country. They're trying to present this as a voluntary relocation of two point three million people as opposed to a, you know, whatever's left from the genocide turned into forced people kicked out of their area. You have Palantir and Oracle in the equation here. So a leaked draft shows a single operational spine for digital governance and defense, a unified civil registry, digital ID platform, and centralized border management. Euromed Monitor called it an emerging instrument of silent genocide. So that project in Saudi Arabia, NEOM, costs two trillion dollars and Saudi Arabia can't find enough workers. Gaza costs one hundred twelve billion and the demolition is already done. So this is this is how you apply a technocratic blueprint to a captive population. And if it works here, if they can make that work, then they can make it work anywhere, which is what I think is going on with some of the other places that we're targeting all around the world. So I don't know if you guys have anything else that you want to add to this project sunrise, but, but man, I'll tell you that, that to me, this is everything that we've been talking about. If you can show, uh, some of the slides possibly, um, on projects, uh, sunrise, there was a, uh, like a slide deck. Yeah. Let me see if I can find it. Okay. Have you done much, Patrick
