TRANSCRIPT

If you own assets, like we do, the four of us, we own stocks, we own real estate, we own other assets, as the dollar devalues and everything inflates in value, our asset prices go up and we get wealthier and wealthier.   

The majority of Americans do not own assets.  They are net asset negative.  As a result, they live off of income and they do not benefit from the de-dollarization like asset holders do and this is what is ultimately fueling populism in the United States.  And the populism in the United States is what is driving socialism and the response to those behaviors is what got Donald Trump elected to some degree.  And the response to the Donald Trump actions is what's driving the civil unrest in Minnesota and other places. And I fundamentally believe that much of the unrest, the civil unrest, and ultimately the divide in this country is driven by the fact that de-dollarization, because of excess government spending, ultimately a majority of people in this country to feeling oppressed and left behind because they're seeing a few people in the country accelerate their net worth, like all of us here, and there's no way for them to catch up because if they don't actually own assets.  So I'll be honest with you guys, I'll make a confession, I was at the gym this morning on the treadmill and while I was there I was actually thinking about the wealth tax stuff that's going on in California.  And I wondered if it may be an inevitability in order to keep the United States from going into Civil War, I mean that very wholeheartedly, like I just don't know if there's a way of solving this fiscal problem without a functional redistribution of wealth.  And the question is can you do it violently or non-violently, and if there's a non-violent path I think that's probably the preferable path.

California grows 90% of American strawberries. To do it, they fumigate the soil with chloropicrin before every single planting. Not occasionally. Every planting cycle, every year, in 99% of California strawberry fields. Chloropicrin is a soil sterilant. You inject it into the ground to kill everything: fungi, bacteria, nematodes, insects, so the soil is chemically dead before you plant into it. You then grow strawberries in a sterile medium using synthetic inputs, because the natural soil ecosystem that would otherwise support the plant has been eliminated. It was also first used as a chemical weapon in World War One. The fumigation applicators are farmworkers, predominantly undocumented migrants. Exposure causes eye damage, respiratory damage, and neurological symptoms. California's Department of Pesticide Regulation lists it as one of the most common causes of agricultural pesticide illness. Residential areas near strawberry fields in Monterey County have recorded fumigation drift events serious enough to send children home from school. The strawberry is marketed as a heart-healthy, antioxidant-rich, plant-based superfood.

The soil it grew in was chemically sterilised with a WWI weapon. The person who planted it probably doesn't have health insurance.

71% of kids with autism have antibodies blocking their brain from getting folate, and the primary trigger is dairy.  In 2005, a European doctor named Dr. Rmaekers was doing spinal taps on kids with neurological issues.  He kept finding the same thing--critically low folate in their cerebral spinal fluid even though their blood folate levels were normal.  Their brains were literally starving for folate but it could not get in.  And then this doc partnered with Dr. Quadros who later discovered that these kids had folate receptor antibodies.  Their immune system was attacking the very receptors designed to transport folate into their brain and your body just doesn't make antibodies which attack itself these dogs knew they had to figure out these antibodies and they found the trigger Dairy protein and it doesn't seem to matter if it's Cow Dairy or goat dairy the structure of dairy protein mimics they folate receptor just enough that when kids consume Dairy their immune system makes antibodies against it and those antibodies cross react with their own folate receptor studies now show that 71% of these children with autism have these antibodies that's bad especially since it is not addressed.

Mexico, the biggest silver producer on earth, is plunging into chaos. Here is why this matters: - Silver was declared a critical mineral for the first time in history - No silver = no AI, no missile production - 50% of US silver imports come from Mexico The US modeled a scenario where Mexico stopped silver exports to the US, which would trigger a GDP decline, raising national security concerns. A few days ago, 10 workers of Vizsla Silver were abducted, 3 were found dead. As a result, mining companies are having trouble attracting employees and are incurring higher security costs. This was before the cartel war. Now the situation has gotten worse. - Silver transport is disrupted. - Costs are rising across the board. - It's getting harder to attract employees. This could resemble the doomsday scenario the US modeled. All of this is happening in a market which has been in deficit for 5 consecutive years, with COMEX inventories getting drained at an accelerating pace. The world is in desperate need of silver and the biggest supplier is at war.

SPOTLIGHT ON CHINA: because it is safer to enter and exit the U.S. from Canada, the CCP often uses Canada as a staging ground to access sensitive allied data and bypass America's stricter counterespionage scrutiny.

While official diplomatic numbers show China has 176 diplomats in Canada—far exceeding numbers from allied nations like Japan—experts and former spies estimate the actual network of CCP operatives and informants in the country could exceed 1,000.

This vast network relies heavily on human intelligence, including recruiting international students to monitor their classmates, photograph dissident gatherings, and plant malware on poorly secured devices. --Spotlight on China

Spy the ChiCom spies.

Here’s a useful guide to detect and expose many of them. https://t.co/3uJTabYIwL

— J Michael Waller (@JMichaelWaller) February 25, 2026

A former Chinese intelligence agent, operating under the pseudonym "Eric," recently shared insights into how Western nations can identify Beijing's undercover spies, following his 2023 defection to Australia. Eric worked for China’s Ministry of Public Security from 2008 until 2022. He claims he was originally a pro-democracy activist who was coerced into espionage under the threat of imprisonment and harm to his family. During his tenure, Eric was tasked with monitoring overseas Chinese dissidents, including the high-profile case of Hua Yong, a vocal critic of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and leader Xi Jinping. Hua eventually fled to Canada but died while kayaking off the coast of British Columbia in late 2022; while the RCMP ruled the death non-suspicious, Eric stated the possibility of CCP involvement "cannot be ruled out." Eric explained that detecting Chinese spies is extremely difficult, even for professional intelligence agencies, due to the high capabilities and effective disguises of some agents. However, he noted a key weakness: agents in authoritarian systems often cannot make independent decisions and must constantly seek approval from their superiors. To test for this, Eric suggests dissidents present complex situations; if an individual consistently stalls, offers vague promises, and requires a long reaction time before making a decision, they may be an agent reporting up the chain. Additionally, he noted that poorly trained or "poorly disguised" agents might display physical signs of guilt or evasiveness, such as shifty eyes and hesitation during conversations. Eric highlighted Canada as a "key target" for CCP infiltration, citing its lenient immigration policies, less robust counterintelligence compared to the U.S., and its valuable membership in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance. He explained that because it is safer to enter and exit the U.S. from Canada, the CCP often uses Canada as a staging ground to access sensitive allied data and bypass America's stricter counterespionage scrutiny. While official diplomatic numbers show China has 176 diplomats in Canada—far exceeding numbers from allied nations like Japan—experts and former spies estimate the actual network of CCP operatives and informants in the country could exceed 1,000. This vast network relies heavily on human intelligence, including recruiting international students to monitor their classmates, photograph dissident gatherings, and plant malware on poorly secured devices. Eric stressed that countering the CCP's "human-wave strategy" requires Western intelligence agencies to collaborate closely and actively engage with targeted Chinese communities. He noted that during his own assignments, such as monitoring Hua Yong, he intentionally dragged his feet and avoided providing actionable intelligence like precise residential addresses. Despite his superiors harboring suspicions about his lack of results, Eric explained they were reluctant to launch formal investigations, fearing that exposing a compromised agent would ultimately reflect poorly on their own leadership. After being recalled to China in 2022 and seeing his assignments dwindle, Eric finally seized the opportunity to defect to Australia in early 2023.

NEW YORK POST: Trump quietly got Mexico to hand over 100 cartel leaders--including El Mencho's brother in 2025--before Jalisco raid

"Trump Quietly Got Mexico to Hand Over 100 Cartel Leaders--Including El Mencho's Brother--Before Jalisco Raid," Chris Nesi, New York Post, February 23, 2026.

Mexico has quietly shipped nearly 100 suspected cartel drug traffickers to the US to stand trial after President Trump branded the groups foreign terrorist organizations last year — and pressured the Mexican government to cooperate.

The suspects include the brother of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes — the brutal Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader who was killed by the Mexican army on Sunday.

The Justice Department said many of the 92 defendants released to the Americans had US extradition requests that were not honored during the Biden administration.

As President Trump has made clear, cartels are terrorist groups, and this Department of Justice is devoted to destroying cartels and transnational gangs,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said of the first round of transfers, which kicked off last February.

“We will prosecute these criminals to the fullest extent of the law in honor of the brave law enforcement agents who have dedicated their careers — and in some cases, given their lives — to protect innocent people from the scourge of violent cartels.”

The Mexican government elected to round up the dozens of wanted criminals after the Trump administration made clear it was taking these matters more seriously, the DOJ said.

“This is another landmark achievement in the Trump Administration’s mission to destroy the cartels,” Bondi said of the latest round of handovers announced last month.

The alleged cartel members, “including terrorists from the Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, and others — will now pay for their crimes against the American people on American soil,” she added.

Among the first tranche of narco-criminals flown into the US by Mexican military aircraft last February was Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, nicknamed Tony Montana after “Scarface.”

He allegedly helped lead CJNG alongside “El Mencho,” and he’s charged with cocaine and meth trafficking.

In January, the US took custody of Sinaloa cartel bigwig Pedro Inzunza Noriega, who along with his son, Pedro Inzunza Coronel, led one of the largest and most sophisticated fentanyl production networks in the world.

Together they were responsible for trafficking tens of thousands of kilograms of the deadly narcotic into the US.

In total the Mexican military has transported 92 dangerous fugitives to the US in three batches starting last February. They are wanted for crimes ranging from human and drug trafficking to money laundering, racketeering and murder

The cases will be prosecuted in 13 states and the District of Columbia.

Those convicted will serve out their sentences in the US before being deported to their country of origin, according to the Justice Department — though many of them are facing life sentences for their crimes.

August’s roundup included Kevin Gil Acosta and Martin Zazueta Perez, leaders of the security apparatus for the Chapitos, a powerful faction of the Sinaloa Cartel that engages in prolific fentanyl trafficking.

Both men have led sicarios armed with military-style weapons like M-16s, AK-47s, AR-15s and grenade launchers in attacks against the Mexican government and military.

The US Marshals Service, which usually handles retrieval of cross-border crime suspects, praised Trump and Bondi for their efforts in getting Mexico to turn over the fugitives.

“Leadership like President Trump’s and Attorney General Bondi’s to work diligently to bring all of these wanted criminals back to the United States reinforces their commitment to getting justice for their victims,” said USMS Director Gadyaces S. Serralta.

“This sends a very clear message; justice does not stop at borders.”
