WEBVTT 00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:05.057 I bet you didn't have Greenland on your bingo card of geopolitical hotspots for 2026. 00:00:05.697 --> 00:00:10.037 But if you did, you'd be winning right now. President Trump renewing his call 00:00:10.037 --> 00:00:11.897 for the U.S. to acquire Greenland. 00:00:12.017 --> 00:00:15.157 We need Greenland for national security, so we're going to see what happens. 00:00:15.377 --> 00:00:17.457 Let me put it in words you might understand. 00:00:17.897 --> 00:00:24.357 Mr. Trump, f**k off. I'm helping Europe, I'm helping NATO, and until the last 00:00:24.357 --> 00:00:29.417 few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. A new threat from President 00:00:29.417 --> 00:00:31.577 Trump in the standoff over Greenland. 00:00:31.677 --> 00:00:35.877 The president says he'll impose a 10 percent tariff on Denmark and seven other 00:00:35.877 --> 00:00:38.557 European nations opposed to his takeover plans. 00:00:39.017 --> 00:00:42.657 We have to respect people's right for self-determination. 00:00:42.877 --> 00:00:48.317 And the Greenlandic people have been very clear. They don't want to become Americans. 00:00:48.637 --> 00:00:53.897 They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. The poll found that 00:00:53.897 --> 00:00:55.957 only about one quarter of U.S. 00:00:56.037 --> 00:00:58.877 Adults approve of the way Trump is handling this issue. 00:00:59.077 --> 00:01:04.157 We're negotiating right now for Greenland. Do you believe that President Trump 00:01:04.157 --> 00:01:06.857 still wants to own Greenland? 00:01:09.277 --> 00:01:14.677 Unfortunately, I think the desire is the same. I mean, our stock market took 00:01:14.677 --> 00:01:16.817 the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. 00:01:17.297 --> 00:01:19.857 So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. 00:01:20.477 --> 00:01:23.757 Yes, against all odds, Greenland... Iceland. 00:01:24.037 --> 00:01:27.817 ...has somehow become a bone of geopolitical contention, with Venezuela, 00:01:28.157 --> 00:01:29.937 Panama, and Cuba not far behind. 00:01:30.337 --> 00:01:35.157 We're told that this is about the mad scramble for resources in the Arctic, 00:01:35.157 --> 00:01:38.737 and there may be some truth to that, but it's not the whole truth. 00:01:39.117 --> 00:01:42.397 So what is this brouhaha over Greenland really about? 00:01:42.937 --> 00:01:44.937 Let's roll up our sleeves and find out. 00:02:04.825 --> 00:02:08.185 Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to another edition of the Corbett Report podcast. 00:02:08.545 --> 00:02:11.665 I'm your host, James Corbett of CorbettReport.com, coming to you, 00:02:11.825 --> 00:02:16.965 as always, from the sunny climes of Western Japan here in February of 2026 with 00:02:16.965 --> 00:02:20.365 episode 492 of the Corbett Report podcast. 00:02:20.765 --> 00:02:23.085 What's Greenland really about? 00:02:23.985 --> 00:02:30.125 So let's answer the question. And like so many other questions of this ilk. 00:02:30.565 --> 00:02:35.965 This is a question that has a multifaceted answer. Let's think of it like an onion. 00:02:36.165 --> 00:02:41.305 And in order to really get to the core and understand that onion on the inside, 00:02:41.305 --> 00:02:45.805 we have to peel back the layers because there are many layers to this answer. 00:02:45.905 --> 00:02:50.665 Let's start with the topmost layer, the one that you will get in the propagandistic 00:02:50.665 --> 00:02:55.005 purveyors of establishment discourse, like, for example, 00:02:55.225 --> 00:03:00.425 the BBC, who deigned to answer this question in a handy dandy little explainer 00:03:00.425 --> 00:03:01.745 that they came up with last month. 00:03:01.885 --> 00:03:06.245 Why does Trump want Greenland and what could it mean for NATO and the EU? 00:03:06.405 --> 00:03:11.285 So let's see what the propagandists at the Big Brother Corporation have to say about this. 00:03:11.385 --> 00:03:15.565 And after some waffling, helpfully explaining where is Greenland and why is 00:03:15.565 --> 00:03:18.665 it important to Trump, they finally get to something approaching the heart of 00:03:18.665 --> 00:03:20.265 the matter or the heart of their explanation, 00:03:20.505 --> 00:03:23.345 or as close as we're going to get, where they say he, Trump, 00:03:23.505 --> 00:03:27.485 has repeatedly described the threat he perceives from Russia and China in the 00:03:27.485 --> 00:03:29.105 region, as in the Arctic. 00:03:29.325 --> 00:03:33.365 In one truth social post, he wrote, NATO has been telling Denmark for 20 years 00:03:33.365 --> 00:03:35.705 that you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland. 00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:39.425 Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. 00:03:39.545 --> 00:03:41.365 Now it is time and it will be done. 00:03:41.818 --> 00:03:45.518 In a text message to Norway's prime minister, Jonas Garstor. 00:03:46.438 --> 00:03:51.718 Trump also said that he no longer felt obliged to focus on peace after not being 00:03:51.718 --> 00:03:53.738 awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. 00:03:54.238 --> 00:03:58.378 Yada yada. What has Trump said about his Greenland plans? And what have Denmark 00:03:58.378 --> 00:04:00.338 and other NATO allies said about Greenland's future? 00:04:00.498 --> 00:04:02.678 Why does Denmark control Greenland, etc, etc? 00:04:02.898 --> 00:04:06.558 I guess if you want the bare bones Wikipedia style explanation, 00:04:06.558 --> 00:04:10.838 you can turn to the propagandists at the BBC. And I suppose it does at least 00:04:10.838 --> 00:04:14.558 offer us one window into the answer of this question. 00:04:14.618 --> 00:04:19.358 For a slightly more nuanced take on this, we could turn to Zero Hedge, 00:04:19.358 --> 00:04:23.798 who brings us why Greenland is at the center of a shifting global order, 00:04:23.938 --> 00:04:27.858 where they talk about some of these ideas, the strategic, 00:04:28.358 --> 00:04:32.558 geostrategic importance of Greenland in its place there in the Arctic. 00:04:32.778 --> 00:04:36.718 It says here, situated at the gateway to the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, 00:04:36.978 --> 00:04:39.138 Greenland has become central to U.S. 00:04:39.438 --> 00:04:43.218 Homeland defense. That assessment is reflected in the new U.S. 00:04:43.638 --> 00:04:48.098 National Defense Strategy, released on January 23rd. It identifies Greenland 00:04:48.098 --> 00:04:52.238 as a key terrain along with the Panama Canal and the Gulf of America. 00:04:53.089 --> 00:04:57.189 Well, interesting. Yes, certainly. And you can go and continue reading this 00:04:57.189 --> 00:04:59.669 article in your own time if you so desire. 00:05:00.069 --> 00:05:05.649 But ultimately, it gets to the point that essentially this is a battle between the U.S. 00:05:05.789 --> 00:05:11.549 And China, primarily, or China-Russia, for geostrategic dominance of the Arctic. 00:05:11.869 --> 00:05:15.989 And that does make sense because ultimately, this is not coming from zero hedge. 00:05:16.109 --> 00:05:18.409 This is coming from the Epoch Times. 00:05:18.849 --> 00:05:23.129 So take the anti-China baiting in this article for what it's worth. 00:05:23.249 --> 00:05:27.649 But at the very least, it does offer us something of an explanation and a link 00:05:27.649 --> 00:05:34.329 to the aforesaid 2026 National Defense Strategy produced by the Department of War. 00:05:34.429 --> 00:05:37.529 And if you want some light bedtime reading that will put you to sleep almost 00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:38.909 instantly, here you go, guys. 00:05:39.049 --> 00:05:42.489 Here is the 2026 National Defense Strategy. 00:05:42.729 --> 00:05:46.189 And yeah, let's just do a command F search for Greenland. And yeah, 00:05:46.349 --> 00:05:49.529 we see Panama Canal and Greenland being mentioned there. 00:05:49.669 --> 00:05:52.769 We see, for example, we will guarantee U.S. 00:05:52.929 --> 00:05:58.289 Military and commercial access to key terrain, especially the Panama Canal, 00:05:58.469 --> 00:06:01.069 Gulf of America and Greenland, et cetera, et cetera. 00:06:01.169 --> 00:06:04.089 Yes, there are a number of references to Greenland in this document. 00:06:04.089 --> 00:06:07.529 So, yes, this is an aspect of what is happening. 00:06:07.689 --> 00:06:12.049 And it does make a certain degree of sense. There is a geostrategic importance 00:06:12.049 --> 00:06:15.469 to Greenland as the gateway to the to the Arctic, as it were. 00:06:15.589 --> 00:06:21.909 Or gateway from the Arctic, and one that will be of increasing concern as we 00:06:21.909 --> 00:06:27.289 step into the 21st century and the opening of a new northern corridor. 00:06:28.225 --> 00:06:31.765 And there are aspects of this, again, that do make sense, 00:06:31.765 --> 00:06:38.325 but it doesn't quite go all the way towards explaining why now Greenland is 00:06:38.325 --> 00:06:43.945 becoming of such military importance, because as task and purpose helpfully 00:06:43.945 --> 00:06:46.345 explain in an article, a brief history of the U.S. 00:06:46.425 --> 00:06:49.625 Military's presence in Greenland that points out the U.S. troops have long been 00:06:49.625 --> 00:06:51.865 based in Greenland. It talks about the U.S. 00:06:52.205 --> 00:06:56.485 Military's modern relationship with Greenland began in April 1941 when the American 00:06:56.485 --> 00:06:59.345 government signed an agreement with Danish ambassador to the United States, 00:06:59.745 --> 00:07:02.125 Henrik Kauffman, that allowed the U.S. 00:07:02.485 --> 00:07:06.905 Military to establish bases on the island. It talks about after Denmark rejected a U.S. 00:07:07.105 --> 00:07:12.445 Offer in 1946 to buy Greenland for $100 million, both countries struck an agreement 00:07:12.445 --> 00:07:15.845 in 1951 that granted the U.S. military access to the island. 00:07:16.485 --> 00:07:19.785 The U.S. military had more than a dozen bases in Greenland, along with thousands 00:07:19.785 --> 00:07:21.045 of troops during the Cold War. 00:07:21.205 --> 00:07:24.605 Although relations were strained between Denmark and the United States when, 00:07:24.625 --> 00:07:29.965 in 1968, an American B-52 bomber armed with four nuclear weapons crashed in 00:07:29.965 --> 00:07:32.285 Greenland, spreading radioactive debris. 00:07:33.150 --> 00:07:36.650 The crash also revealed that the United States had been, shock, 00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:41.390 gasp, horror, who would have guessed, violating Denmark's 1957 policy against 00:07:41.390 --> 00:07:44.490 having any nuclear weapons in the country or its territories. 00:07:45.010 --> 00:07:50.270 Not a surprising story there, but then it goes on to talk about the remaining military, U.S. 00:07:50.450 --> 00:07:53.070 Military installation that is currently operating on Greenland, 00:07:53.210 --> 00:07:57.670 the Pitufik Space Base, which contains an early warning radar, 00:07:57.670 --> 00:07:59.810 which is vital to the U.S. 00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:02.930 Military's ability to keep an eye on Russia's nuclear forces. 00:08:03.150 --> 00:08:08.810 So there is an already existing military agreement between the U.S. and Denmark. 00:08:09.890 --> 00:08:13.390 U.S. military is actively operating one base there. 00:08:13.750 --> 00:08:17.090 They certainly have military access to the Arctic already. 00:08:17.350 --> 00:08:21.310 So already we're starting to see cracks forming in this narrative. 00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:27.550 But if you really want to steel man the idea that this is all about the geopolitical struggle between U.S. 00:08:27.670 --> 00:08:32.210 And China slash Russia, you could turn to an analyst like Valina Chakarova, 00:08:32.210 --> 00:08:35.250 who has been writing a series of articles over the past couple of years, 00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:40.290 actually, but certainly in this year, about the new Cold War in the Arctic, 00:08:40.510 --> 00:08:44.670 where she says Russia has significantly expanded its Arctic military posture 00:08:44.670 --> 00:08:47.890 compared to the post-Cold War low point over the last years, 00:08:48.290 --> 00:08:50.490 particularly through northern fleet infrastructure, 00:08:50.950 --> 00:08:53.010 bastion defense, and undersea capabilities. 00:08:53.410 --> 00:08:57.670 Meanwhile, China does not have a verified naval or submarine presence in the 00:08:57.670 --> 00:09:02.750 G.I.U.K., but its Arctic role is expanding through economic, 00:09:02.910 --> 00:09:06.330 scientific and internal institutional engagement alongside Russia. 00:09:06.854 --> 00:09:10.994 The northern sea route is being systematically developed by Moscow with Chinese 00:09:10.994 --> 00:09:15.794 cooperation, officially commercial, but structurally dual use in an increasingly 00:09:15.794 --> 00:09:16.974 militarized Arctic theater. 00:09:17.174 --> 00:09:21.734 And she says Greenland is not encircled, but the high north remains a real exposure 00:09:21.734 --> 00:09:26.094 and will be key strategic theater in the new Cold War, with the dragon bear 00:09:26.094 --> 00:09:28.094 risk vector being asymmetric, 00:09:28.494 --> 00:09:32.794 long term and primarily Russian, while China shapes the enabling environment 00:09:32.794 --> 00:09:37.034 geoeconomically and indirectly geopolitically through the militarization of 00:09:37.034 --> 00:09:38.334 the Indo-Pacific region. 00:09:38.494 --> 00:09:43.234 She goes on to write about the Northern Sea Route, aka China's Polar Silk Road, 00:09:43.454 --> 00:09:47.974 and talks about the shipping routes that are already operating and that are 00:09:47.974 --> 00:09:54.834 opening up in the Arctic that will facilitate this scramble for Arctic positioning, 00:09:55.214 --> 00:10:01.354 of which obviously Greenland is very geostrategically situated to provide access 00:10:01.354 --> 00:10:04.054 to all of the Arctic shipping routes. So, 00:10:04.703 --> 00:10:10.023 So that is, there is certainly a case to be made for this aspect of what is happening right now. 00:10:10.123 --> 00:10:15.243 And you can follow the links of this in the show notes for today's episode at 00:10:15.243 --> 00:10:19.763 CorbettReport.com slash Greenland for this article, for example, 00:10:19.923 --> 00:10:23.543 from Valina Chakarrova, the Northern Corridor Doctrine talking about Cold War 00:10:23.543 --> 00:10:28.383 2.0, which is not a revival of 20th century ideological bipolarity. 00:10:28.563 --> 00:10:33.143 It is a systemic confrontation between two competing block building systems. 00:10:33.883 --> 00:10:36.543 On one side, you have the United States in the Anglosphere, and on the other 00:10:36.543 --> 00:10:38.143 side, you have the Dragon Bear. 00:10:38.403 --> 00:10:42.903 What is that? It's the global modus operandi of strategic coordination between 00:10:42.903 --> 00:10:48.003 China and Russia, fusing China's economic and technological reach with Russia's 00:10:48.003 --> 00:10:51.703 military revisionist power and readiness for coercive escalation. 00:10:52.083 --> 00:10:56.483 And in this new Cold War, power is no longer measured primarily by territorial 00:10:56.483 --> 00:10:58.883 conquest or ideological appeal. 00:10:58.883 --> 00:11:04.183 It is measured by the ability to secure corridors, global supply chains, 00:11:04.403 --> 00:11:10.203 trade routes, commodities, and strategic technologies have fused with national security. 00:11:10.703 --> 00:11:14.503 And again, you can continue reading through this article, and there is a lot 00:11:14.503 --> 00:11:20.623 of information in here about this portion of the global chessboard and why it 00:11:20.623 --> 00:11:26.283 is such a strategic square and why there is obviously interest from the U.S. 00:11:26.883 --> 00:11:31.903 Anglosphere side as well as the Dragon Bear side if that is how you want to frame it. 00:11:32.763 --> 00:11:38.023 And again, it's not simply military in interest here. 00:11:38.183 --> 00:11:43.583 As Chakarrova points out, this Cold War 2.0 is not about territorial conquest per se. 00:11:43.743 --> 00:11:48.063 It is about securing supply chains, trade routes, commodities, 00:11:48.303 --> 00:11:49.503 strategic technologies. 00:11:49.863 --> 00:11:54.743 For example, you have no doubt heard about rare earths and the importance of 00:11:54.743 --> 00:11:58.823 rare earths in this day and age and the abundance of rare earths to be found, 00:11:59.023 --> 00:12:00.623 for example, in Greenland. 00:12:00.623 --> 00:12:05.103 And if you want to drill down on that topic, I will point not for the first 00:12:05.103 --> 00:12:09.683 time to an article that from the Golden Geopolitics Substack called Weaponizing 00:12:09.683 --> 00:12:14.123 the Periodic Table that is voluminous, but definitely worth your time. 00:12:14.283 --> 00:12:17.783 And if you start reading through this, you'll start to see a very interesting 00:12:17.783 --> 00:12:21.863 picture that is very persuasively painted by the author of this article, 00:12:21.963 --> 00:12:24.663 who talks about, for example, in July 2023, 00:12:25.083 --> 00:12:29.623 China announced export licensing requirements for gallium and germanium. 00:12:29.623 --> 00:12:32.963 Who cares? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? 00:12:33.383 --> 00:12:37.063 October 2023 brought graphite export controls. 00:12:37.323 --> 00:12:41.983 China produces over 90% of the world's processed graphite, the material that 00:12:41.983 --> 00:12:46.923 enables lithium-ion battery anodes, every electric vehicle, every grid-scale 00:12:46.923 --> 00:12:49.323 battery, every piece of consumer electronics. 00:12:49.603 --> 00:12:51.363 The West wants an energy transition? 00:12:51.723 --> 00:12:56.763 Beijing will decide the pace. September 15, 2024 marked the implementation of 00:12:56.763 --> 00:12:59.783 antimony licensing requirements. requirements. Okay. 00:13:00.183 --> 00:13:05.203 All right. Uh, April, 2025 introduced export licensing for seven heavy rare 00:13:05.203 --> 00:13:11.603 earth elements, Samarium, Gala, Gatolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, 00:13:12.203 --> 00:13:14.743 Lutetium, Scandium, and Yttrium. 00:13:15.003 --> 00:13:17.843 And again, you could go through this at just. 00:13:18.684 --> 00:13:23.764 Rare earth element after rare earth element, after material and supply, 00:13:23.944 --> 00:13:29.144 cesium and getting into tungsten and bismuth and all of these various elements 00:13:29.144 --> 00:13:32.404 that are being strategically controlled, 00:13:32.664 --> 00:13:37.464 increasingly so by China and controlled through export controls that they have 00:13:37.464 --> 00:13:41.904 been using in this leveraged trade war between Beijing and Washington that's 00:13:41.904 --> 00:13:43.644 been off and on for several years now. 00:13:43.644 --> 00:13:47.124 And again, this is a very, very, very voluminous, documented, 00:13:47.404 --> 00:13:50.744 detailed case that is quite persuasive in showing that, yes, 00:13:50.844 --> 00:13:55.964 there are certainly there is a rare earth element aspect to this Cold War 2.0 00:13:55.964 --> 00:13:57.404 on the geopolitical chessboard. 00:13:57.464 --> 00:14:02.064 And that's surely part of what's going on with Greenland and why Greenland is 00:14:02.064 --> 00:14:03.544 suddenly becoming so important. 00:14:04.504 --> 00:14:08.204 But let's put some brakes on that narrative. at the very least, 00:14:08.364 --> 00:14:13.244 maybe it's not the all-encompassing explanation that some people might make it out to be. 00:14:13.504 --> 00:14:17.804 China's rare earth monopoly and why markets will break it coming from the daily 00:14:17.804 --> 00:14:22.904 economy last month, where they talk about what are rare earth elements anyway? What does that mean? 00:14:23.024 --> 00:14:27.104 Rare earth elements are a group of 17 metals, mostly in the first row below 00:14:27.104 --> 00:14:31.124 the main periodic table in the lanthanide series, elements 57 to 71, 00:14:31.364 --> 00:14:37.304 plus scandium, number 21, and yttrium number 39, which share similar properties 00:14:37.304 --> 00:14:40.164 and are found in the same deposits as the lanthanides. 00:14:40.324 --> 00:14:45.424 They are transition metals with distinctive magnetic and fluorescent characteristics. 00:14:45.784 --> 00:14:50.724 Think of these elements not as bulk materials, but as metallurgical spices used 00:14:50.724 --> 00:14:54.444 in tiny quantities to produce dramatic improvements in performance. 00:14:54.604 --> 00:14:59.844 Add neodymium to iron and boron and get the strongest permanent magnet known. 00:15:00.224 --> 00:15:05.324 Add yttrium to turbine alloys and jet engines can tolerate extraordinary heat. 00:15:05.924 --> 00:15:11.904 Europium makes modern display screens possible. Terbium enables efficient electric motors. 00:15:12.444 --> 00:15:15.004 Sumerium strengthens guidance systems and sensors. 00:15:16.064 --> 00:15:20.724 But dot dot dot, here's the rub. Despite their name, rare earths are widespread. 00:15:21.324 --> 00:15:27.004 Significant deposits exist in the United States, Australia, Brazil, India and elsewhere. 00:15:27.184 --> 00:15:31.884 And it goes on to talk about the challenge is not in the scarcity of these materials, 00:15:31.904 --> 00:15:36.304 it's in their processing. And that is certainly one way in which China has cornered 00:15:36.304 --> 00:15:37.524 the markets in recent years. 00:15:37.784 --> 00:15:41.424 It has been left essentially to China to take care of the details of all of 00:15:41.424 --> 00:15:45.724 this processing. And that is what is biting the U.S. 00:15:45.924 --> 00:15:49.684 Anglosphere side of the geopolitical world order in the butt right now, 00:15:49.764 --> 00:15:52.124 because suddenly, oh, maybe this is important. 00:15:52.264 --> 00:15:56.104 And all these export controls and other such things do have an effect when there 00:15:56.104 --> 00:16:01.244 is no infrastructure in place to process these materials, let alone actually 00:16:01.244 --> 00:16:05.444 secure them. So that is an aspect of what's happening right now. 00:16:05.544 --> 00:16:11.604 But as this article points out, it's actually quite a rare earths are not rare in and of themselves. 00:16:11.824 --> 00:16:14.104 They are actually quite widespread and found in a number of places. 00:16:14.104 --> 00:16:21.364 So it cannot be the explanation for the mad rush and scramble for Greenland right now. So. 00:16:21.853 --> 00:16:26.373 What else could be going on here? See, a lot of this sounds like that sort of 00:16:26.373 --> 00:16:30.413 two-dimensional geopolitical chess that, James, you've talked about before. 00:16:30.413 --> 00:16:34.173 That's not what the real game is about. It's about the three-dimensional chess. 00:16:34.333 --> 00:16:40.453 And there are puppeteers over top the two-dimensional chessboard who are moving 00:16:40.453 --> 00:16:45.033 pieces around on both sides of the chessboard that the US-China or US-Russia 00:16:45.033 --> 00:16:51.433 or whatever rivalry it is painted as in the mainstream geopolitical press is 00:16:51.433 --> 00:16:54.193 not quite the full understanding of what's going on here. 00:16:54.333 --> 00:16:58.593 So what could be the third dimensional understanding of what is happening here? 00:16:58.693 --> 00:17:01.313 Well, let's take a look at a curious little map. 00:17:01.513 --> 00:17:03.473 It is called Technate of America. 00:17:03.793 --> 00:17:07.173 And you can take it from a number of places. The Cornell Library has a particularly 00:17:07.173 --> 00:17:09.913 good one that you can download in super high quality, high res. 00:17:10.153 --> 00:17:13.553 And it does have a little explanation of what it is we are seeing here. 00:17:13.693 --> 00:17:17.253 This is technet of America, and of course, we do see the United States of America. 00:17:18.108 --> 00:17:23.228 Really, we see, well, not just North America, we also see parts of Latin and 00:17:23.228 --> 00:17:25.948 South America. And oh, what's this over here? 00:17:26.128 --> 00:17:28.328 What? Let's zoom in on that. Oh, right. 00:17:28.928 --> 00:17:32.268 Greenland. Interesting. So what on earth does this map depict? 00:17:32.648 --> 00:17:37.028 Well, as this goes on to say, this map illustrates the American technate, 00:17:37.208 --> 00:17:40.488 a radical geopolitical proposal based 00:17:40.488 --> 00:17:44.868 on pseudoscientific economics and authoritarian nationalist politics. 00:17:44.868 --> 00:17:50.128 As the Great Depression deepened in the early 1930s, Americans looked in desperation 00:17:50.128 --> 00:17:53.428 to a variety of radical social and political solutions. 00:17:53.788 --> 00:17:58.448 One of the most popular was technocracy, which offered a seemingly scientific 00:17:58.448 --> 00:18:03.528 explanation of America's ills, namely the disastrous inefficiency of the wage 00:18:03.528 --> 00:18:05.408 price system, the very heart of capitalism. 00:18:05.408 --> 00:18:10.028 The technocrats proposed abandoning business and representative government as 00:18:10.028 --> 00:18:14.508 the driving forces of our economy and replacing them with massive social engineering 00:18:14.508 --> 00:18:16.048 censored on technicians, 00:18:16.448 --> 00:18:21.108 especially engineers, as the efficient, scientific, anti-capitalistic elite 00:18:21.108 --> 00:18:25.848 capable of reorienting the economic order around rational production and distribution. 00:18:26.208 --> 00:18:31.768 Theirs was a clarion call for technicians to plan and engineer the new order. 00:18:32.512 --> 00:18:36.992 The new world order? Well, at least to start with, the new technate order, 00:18:37.452 --> 00:18:39.752 starting with the technate of America. 00:18:39.932 --> 00:18:44.252 And as this goes on to point out, Greenland turns out to be one of the parts 00:18:44.252 --> 00:18:50.032 of this technate of America, the continental technate that was proposed by Scott. 00:18:50.252 --> 00:18:53.412 He says, along with these proposed steps, Scott wrote that the territory of 00:18:53.412 --> 00:18:57.612 the United States must be expanded in order to defend it properly. 00:18:57.612 --> 00:19:01.792 The new tech native America was to include all of Canada, Greenland, 00:19:02.232 --> 00:19:07.212 Central America, the Caribbean, and parts of Colombia, Venezuela, and the Guyanas. 00:19:07.732 --> 00:19:11.312 Defense bases were to be established around the perimeter as far afield as Atu, 00:19:11.452 --> 00:19:15.472 Pago Pago, the Galapagos, Georgetown, Guyana, Bermuda, St. 00:19:15.572 --> 00:19:18.172 John's, Newfoundland, and Cape Farewell, Greenland. 00:19:18.352 --> 00:19:23.552 In Scott's words, on the maps accompanying this issue is delineated the geographical 00:19:23.552 --> 00:19:26.972 territory required for the adequate defense and operation. 00:19:27.426 --> 00:19:31.306 Of this continental area. So you may have seen this map floating around in social 00:19:31.306 --> 00:19:33.326 media recently, and there's a reason for it. 00:19:33.406 --> 00:19:38.566 There is a very important political pedigree to this idea and to the fact that 00:19:38.566 --> 00:19:43.386 Greenland is part of the defense of North America, 00:19:43.606 --> 00:19:48.886 specifically the securing of its resources for the privileged few technocratic 00:19:48.886 --> 00:19:55.366 elitists who presume to steward over the entire economic order in the interests of us mere peons. 00:19:55.586 --> 00:20:00.346 Now, if you do not know about technocracy, boy, do I have some viewing for you 00:20:00.346 --> 00:20:01.686 to get caught up to speed. 00:20:01.886 --> 00:20:07.086 You could start, for example, with my handy-dandy questions for Corbett on this very subject. 00:20:07.266 --> 00:20:12.566 What is technocracy? Where I go through the origins of this idea and its development 00:20:12.566 --> 00:20:19.366 by the charlatan Howard Scott and how that became a guiding ideology for the 00:20:19.366 --> 00:20:20.726 elitists moving forward. 00:20:20.986 --> 00:20:24.906 Obviously, Technocracy Inc., although there is still a rump organization that 00:20:24.906 --> 00:20:30.546 exists, did not become the driving factor in the promotion of technocracy. 00:20:30.706 --> 00:20:34.206 No, it was then taken up by the Brzezinski's of the world, for example, 00:20:34.346 --> 00:20:37.266 and forwarded through the Trilateral Commission, etc., etc. 00:20:37.426 --> 00:20:41.706 There is a rich and important historical thread there that I invite you to start 00:20:41.706 --> 00:20:44.986 pulling on to unravel the tapestry of our current world order. 00:20:45.146 --> 00:20:46.746 And you could start with that question from Corbett. 00:20:46.926 --> 00:20:51.006 You could continue with why big oil conquered the world, where I have a dedicated 00:20:51.006 --> 00:20:56.266 section talking about technocracy and how that explains this transition that 00:20:56.266 --> 00:21:01.186 we have been undergoing for some time now, the post-fossil fuel world. 00:21:01.226 --> 00:21:03.466 And why is big oil on board with this? 00:21:03.626 --> 00:21:09.746 Oh, because it is about technocracy and the securing of the natural resources of the world. 00:21:09.806 --> 00:21:14.886 And you can, of course, continue diving in with not only my interviews with 00:21:14.886 --> 00:21:19.286 Patrick Wood on his books about technocracy and his work on this subject, 00:21:19.346 --> 00:21:20.466 but then you can, of course, 00:21:20.686 --> 00:21:25.246 also read Patrick Wood's books themselves to come up to speed on what technocracy 00:21:25.246 --> 00:21:26.826 is and why it is an important. 00:21:27.381 --> 00:21:31.101 If not determinative, but certainly an important factor in what is happening 00:21:31.101 --> 00:21:33.421 on the global geopolitical chessboard right now. 00:21:33.481 --> 00:21:37.161 It is not about the dragon bear versus the U.S. 00:21:37.361 --> 00:21:43.621 Anglosphere, so much as it is about a guiding ideology that animates both sides 00:21:43.621 --> 00:21:47.561 of this two-pronged conflict, or every side, if you want to think of it as a 00:21:47.561 --> 00:21:49.341 multipolar world order. 00:21:49.501 --> 00:21:54.061 So how do we start situating Greenland and what is happening there in the context 00:21:54.061 --> 00:22:00.581 of this story of technocracy and the desire of a few to rule over the resources 00:22:00.581 --> 00:22:03.961 in order to ultimately control the global economy? 00:22:04.101 --> 00:22:06.901 Well, we don't have to go far afield to find the answer to that. 00:22:07.041 --> 00:22:12.121 We can go to a handy dandy and very important research article from Global Research 00:22:12.121 --> 00:22:15.061 at globalresearch.ca. It was posted up late last month. 00:22:15.181 --> 00:22:20.621 It is by David Skripik and it is Greenland, Donald Trump, technocracy and the 00:22:20.621 --> 00:22:22.261 globalist new world order. 00:22:22.907 --> 00:22:27.347 And this is a voluminous, very interesting and well-written article. 00:22:27.347 --> 00:22:32.087 I suggest you read it in its entirety, but let's just drill down on it. Who is David Skripek? 00:22:32.407 --> 00:22:35.987 As a pilot who frequently traveled to Greenland while serving in the Canadian 00:22:35.987 --> 00:22:41.027 Armed Forces, I can say with assurance that Greenland is already fully integrated 00:22:41.027 --> 00:22:46.987 into the American Empire's network of strategic possessions and has been since the early 1950s. 00:22:47.067 --> 00:22:50.667 And as he goes on to point out, yes, in his own, even his own personal experience, 00:22:50.807 --> 00:22:56.507 let alone his research, it is certainly the case that America already has a 00:22:56.507 --> 00:22:59.707 very dominant strategic foothold in Greenland. 00:22:59.847 --> 00:23:04.027 And so the idea that this is about some sort of we better secure Greenland before 00:23:04.027 --> 00:23:08.607 the Ruskies get to it rings untrue, shall we say. 00:23:08.907 --> 00:23:13.687 So why the sudden focus on Greenland? Well, David writes, aside from rich and 00:23:13.687 --> 00:23:15.647 largely untapped natural resources, 00:23:15.967 --> 00:23:20.807 huge, unproven and unexploited oil deposits, potentially 7.3 billion barrels, 00:23:21.087 --> 00:23:25.587 natural gas reserves estimated to be anywhere from 50 trillion to 150 trillion 00:23:25.587 --> 00:23:29.827 cubic feet, and extensive mineral deposits, there is, I believe, 00:23:30.127 --> 00:23:33.527 one other main reason for this sudden attention being paid to Greenland. 00:23:34.007 --> 00:23:39.067 Namely, Trump is being leaned on to annex Greenland by certain highly influential 00:23:39.067 --> 00:23:43.867 individuals who contributed handsomely to his second presidential election campaign. 00:23:44.027 --> 00:23:48.887 These men, namely Elon Musk, Howard Lutnick, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman are 00:23:48.887 --> 00:23:52.187 now in a position to steer the president in whatever direction they desire for 00:23:52.187 --> 00:23:54.187 the purpose of fulfilling their primary goal. 00:23:54.347 --> 00:23:59.107 They are chomping at the bit to form what is known as the North American Technate, 00:23:59.387 --> 00:24:04.067 the linchpin to a full-blown and ultimately worldwide technocracy. 00:24:04.227 --> 00:24:08.567 And he goes through just the short bullet points of what is technocracy, 00:24:08.707 --> 00:24:13.347 where did it come from, etc. He highlights this 1940 map of the Technate of 00:24:13.347 --> 00:24:17.427 America and then goes on to talk about the multi-pillar map. 00:24:17.686 --> 00:24:22.186 Globalist New World Order. We've all heard about the multipolar World Order, 00:24:22.346 --> 00:24:26.766 that those valiant bricks are spearheading right now and is going to be the 00:24:26.766 --> 00:24:30.926 savior from this American-led bad old World Order. 00:24:31.046 --> 00:24:33.246 We're going to get the multipolar New World Order. Yay. 00:24:33.926 --> 00:24:40.826 Well, in contrast to that, David Skripek talks about the multi-pillar globalist 00:24:40.826 --> 00:24:48.206 New World Order, a globalist New World Order vision, in which five pillars hold up a square canopy. 00:24:48.206 --> 00:24:51.906 And that canopy represents the technocracy, the overarching ideology, 00:24:51.906 --> 00:24:54.386 which of course is the system itself. 00:24:54.626 --> 00:24:59.926 And each pillar of this globalist New World Order is supporting that canopy. 00:25:00.126 --> 00:25:03.026 So what is David's vision of 00:25:03.026 --> 00:25:07.366 this? How does it work? What does Greenland have to do with technocracy? 00:25:07.646 --> 00:25:11.166 These are good questions. So I asked them to David Skripik himself. 00:25:13.006 --> 00:25:19.386 As your readers and listeners will know, whenever we're dealing with a geopolitical 00:25:19.386 --> 00:25:24.286 situation like this, there's always an economic dimension to this, to any situation, 00:25:24.646 --> 00:25:28.746 be it World War I, World War II, any conflict, especially Greenland. 00:25:29.006 --> 00:25:33.006 We have to look at the economic dimension, then we get the full picture. 00:25:33.006 --> 00:25:36.226 So, as we already discussed, okay, there's a military dimension. 00:25:36.526 --> 00:25:41.006 Now, the economic dimension is there's incredible sums of oil. 00:25:42.046 --> 00:25:47.726 Some estimates are 7.3 billion barrels of oil, possible reserves in Greenland. 00:25:47.946 --> 00:25:53.146 There's 50, depending on estimates, 50 to 150 trillion cubic feet of natural 00:25:53.146 --> 00:25:55.846 gas that is yet to be explored in Greenland. 00:25:56.806 --> 00:26:03.046 The mining resources, the rare earth minerals, as they call them, 00:26:03.246 --> 00:26:05.326 especially in the southern point of Greenland, 00:26:06.106 --> 00:26:12.366 there's a massive mine called Tanbrize in the southern tip of Greenland. 00:26:12.886 --> 00:26:19.526 That's where vast sums of zirconium, cryolite, tantalum. 00:26:20.018 --> 00:26:25.778 These are all important minerals for if you would like to have a cell phone, 00:26:26.078 --> 00:26:30.398 if you want to make a computer like the device we're speaking to right now, 00:26:30.438 --> 00:26:34.418 if you would like to manufacture F-35 fighter aircraft. 00:26:34.778 --> 00:26:39.638 These are key, key mineral deposits, which Greenland has in abundance. 00:26:40.238 --> 00:26:45.518 So that is my, I wish to posit that, that is my belief that that's what they're 00:26:45.518 --> 00:26:49.498 really going after. Now, the rhetoric that we're hearing from Washington, 00:26:49.898 --> 00:26:53.498 from Donald Trump's regime, it's just rhetoric. 00:26:53.838 --> 00:26:57.538 It's a way to put maybe pressure on the Danish government to say, 00:26:57.638 --> 00:27:01.978 well, look, why don't we just get to the table and let's make a business arrangement? 00:27:02.758 --> 00:27:07.378 Because we already have our military bases there, but we need mining rights 00:27:07.378 --> 00:27:12.138 to get out these incredible resources, not to mention iron ore. 00:27:12.138 --> 00:27:13.618 I didn't mention iron ore as well. 00:27:14.378 --> 00:27:20.558 Greenland holds vast amounts of ore. So the benefits are clearly there. 00:27:20.758 --> 00:27:26.698 So maybe this is just a tactic that the Trump regime is using to pressure the Danish government. 00:27:26.698 --> 00:27:31.218 Let's sit down at the table and let's come to agreement because there is a movement 00:27:31.218 --> 00:27:36.818 in Greenland that is seeking independence to move away from the kingdom of Denmark. 00:27:37.358 --> 00:27:42.458 Greenland is a part of the kingdom of Denmark. So that will not bode well for 00:27:42.458 --> 00:27:44.398 Uncle Sam and the American empire. 00:27:44.698 --> 00:27:49.498 So that's where I think it's really going to the crux of the matter here. 00:27:51.247 --> 00:27:55.507 I completely concur with that assessment, and I think people fail to realize 00:27:55.507 --> 00:28:01.207 the importance of things like rare earths in this new scramble of neocolonization, 00:28:01.207 --> 00:28:03.447 whatever is happening in the Arctic right now. 00:28:03.727 --> 00:28:08.707 There's a lot of a lot of different factors that make Greenland actually a strategic location. 00:28:08.947 --> 00:28:14.707 But beyond that, we don't even have to think about the current struggles or 00:28:14.707 --> 00:28:18.187 whatever may be taking place on the geopolitical chessboard between U.S. 00:28:18.187 --> 00:28:20.447 And China and some of these other players. 00:28:21.067 --> 00:28:25.607 We could travel back to the past. And I note that in your recently published 00:28:25.607 --> 00:28:31.607 global research article, you reproduce the 1940 map of the Technate of America, 00:28:31.607 --> 00:28:34.327 which of course comes from our old friend Howard Scott, 00:28:34.567 --> 00:28:37.027 the charlatan behind Technocracy Inc. 00:28:37.647 --> 00:28:42.987 Tell people about this map and what it shows about where we are heading as America 00:28:42.987 --> 00:28:47.287 starts to consolidate North America into a single security unit. 00:28:47.647 --> 00:28:52.627 Yes, that's right. So we have, like we discussed, the military aspect, the economic aspect. 00:28:52.907 --> 00:28:58.567 Now, what better way to get this economic aspect than to bring it into the North 00:28:58.567 --> 00:29:02.047 American technique as envisioned by the technocracy movement? 00:29:02.327 --> 00:29:07.067 In a nutshell, as your listeners will know, technocracy is the distribution, 00:29:07.527 --> 00:29:12.987 organization, and control of all of the world's resources for the benefit of a very few. 00:29:13.986 --> 00:29:16.926 And since we're discussing in our economic aspect resources, 00:29:17.406 --> 00:29:23.046 what better way to try to get all of Greenland's goodies into the North American technique? 00:29:23.366 --> 00:29:27.546 And that holds true as well. We're seeing events in Venezuela. 00:29:28.126 --> 00:29:33.806 Venezuela has vast amounts of oil resources that would fit very well into the technique. 00:29:34.566 --> 00:29:40.026 So we are already, Venezuela's coming into the orbit. Greenland is going to be next in the orbit. 00:29:41.366 --> 00:29:45.446 Cuba doesn't obviously have much to offer in terms of resources, 00:29:46.106 --> 00:29:50.506 but it does have sugar and other natural resources on the land, 00:29:50.646 --> 00:29:52.986 which also will be incorporated. 00:29:53.706 --> 00:29:57.306 Sadly, that will be the situation. I think sometime in this year, 00:29:57.526 --> 00:30:02.926 Cuba will collapse and will be absorbed by the Pax Americana, by the American Empire. 00:30:03.806 --> 00:30:07.286 But overall, when we look at the Technate, the 00:30:07.286 --> 00:30:10.766 1940 tech native North America that fits perfectly Greenland 00:30:10.766 --> 00:30:14.166 you can clearly see is is in that map so 00:30:14.166 --> 00:30:17.446 is cuba uh so is puerto rico and 00:30:17.446 --> 00:30:23.006 another dominican republic the latin america is in there and the northern tip 00:30:23.006 --> 00:30:27.586 of south america and that that's what i believe is is the grand picture that's 00:30:27.586 --> 00:30:33.366 all being formed yes russia has a presence in the arctic and clearly because 00:30:33.366 --> 00:30:36.206 of where they're geographically located, 00:30:36.826 --> 00:30:43.366 but will Russia, and Russia knows exactly that the American military presence 00:30:43.366 --> 00:30:47.166 is there in Greenland, so they're not going to all of a sudden start a war for 00:30:47.166 --> 00:30:49.466 that, but that's the two-dimensional aspect. 00:30:49.886 --> 00:30:53.166 Three-dimensional chess, it's a whole different ballgame. 00:30:53.286 --> 00:30:57.906 They're all in on it, they're all on the same team, and they all want these prizes. 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:03.820 This is exactly right. And this is something that sometimes gets lost in the 00:31:03.820 --> 00:31:04.820 geopolitical analysis. 00:31:05.060 --> 00:31:08.940 Yes, there is a 2D chessboard. There are players who genuinely are seeing the 00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:10.960 game that way, but there is the 3D chessboard. 00:31:11.140 --> 00:31:15.720 And once we start to understand the technocracy ideology that is guiding not 00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:21.620 just the United States and Washington, but basically every of the major players on this table, 00:31:21.760 --> 00:31:27.040 we start to see a very different idea of what this struggle or presumed struggle 00:31:27.040 --> 00:31:28.180 for dominance is really about. 00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:31.660 Yes there is technocracy which is about securing resources 00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:35.040 so that they can then be stewarded over and doled out 00:31:35.040 --> 00:31:37.980 by the wonderful loving technocrats to the 00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:40.840 population or at least that's what they want you to believe but really 00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:44.320 it is about consolidation of resources within geographical domains 00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:47.320 that were mapped out the better part of a century ago and 00:31:47.320 --> 00:31:50.300 are literally there sitting there on the map and we 00:31:50.300 --> 00:31:53.240 are seeing that come to fruition so in that 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.020 regard it poses a very different view 00:31:56.020 --> 00:31:59.460 of the world than the one posed um by certain geopolitical 00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:02.280 analysts who talk about the multi-polar world and we're moving 00:32:02.280 --> 00:32:05.280 into this you know bricks versus the nato type 00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:10.480 of situation um as opposed to that you propose something called the multi-pillar 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:18.280 globalist new world order can you explain what that is yeah because uh i i one 00:32:18.280 --> 00:32:24.980 one time was a true believer in the multi-polar aspect until the scamdemic of 2020. 00:32:25.060 --> 00:32:29.340 Once the scamdemic started to roll out, I started to realize, wait a second. 00:32:30.479 --> 00:32:34.859 Why is every single government marching, as the Rockefellers would say, 00:32:34.979 --> 00:32:40.079 in lockstep, implementing exactly the same dystopian protocols, 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:44.639 one country after another, after another, after another, including China? 00:32:45.219 --> 00:32:49.239 Beijing is fully in on it, including Russia. Moscow is in on it. 00:32:50.199 --> 00:32:55.679 South Africa, all of Europe, Mexico, Latin America. So that's when I started 00:32:55.679 --> 00:32:56.519 to realize, wait a second. 00:32:56.999 --> 00:33:00.779 And that to me, this pandemic was kind of a litmus test to see, 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:05.559 OK, who's on board with this globalist agenda? Who is not? Clearly, they were all on board. 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:10.239 So when that's when I came up with an idea, I'll try to explain it to somebody 00:33:10.239 --> 00:33:13.799 because they were always asking, OK, David, but what is the deep state? 00:33:13.939 --> 00:33:19.559 Is the deep state the Rockefeller syndicate? Is it the city of London? No. Is it the Pentagon? 00:33:20.419 --> 00:33:23.639 No. Is the World Economic Forum or the Council on Foreign Relations? 00:33:23.639 --> 00:33:26.279 I say, well, it's basically all of the above. 00:33:26.439 --> 00:33:30.779 They're all working together to hold up, as I would call it, 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:35.179 the globalist one world new one world government canopy. 00:33:35.719 --> 00:33:40.179 So all these nation states are, as I described, pillars. 00:33:40.679 --> 00:33:47.259 We have five important groups that are supporting this pillar of the globalist one world agenda. 00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:52.479 And that's the way I try to explain to people so they can envision a structure 00:33:52.479 --> 00:33:55.859 that's holding up this canopy of globalism. 00:33:56.339 --> 00:34:00.579 And so you have in the center, you have with Pax Americana, 00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:08.599 the American empire, which is seated in the center, holding up this canopy that 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:12.359 has all of these globalist organizations emanating from it. 00:34:12.479 --> 00:34:17.739 You have the UN, which is donated on Rockefeller land. You have the World Economic 00:34:17.739 --> 00:34:23.179 Forum, even though I know it's based in Davos, Switzerland, but. 00:34:24.115 --> 00:34:30.655 It's tied to the UN, which is based in New York City, and all of its offshoot organizations. 00:34:31.255 --> 00:34:34.295 And, of course, then you have the Council on Foreign Relations, 00:34:34.555 --> 00:34:40.355 which forms a center pillar, which is very important to dole out the policies 00:34:40.355 --> 00:34:44.715 of whatever Neocom think tanks are trying to think about. 00:34:44.995 --> 00:34:47.975 And all these other organizations. So that's in the center pillar. 00:34:47.975 --> 00:34:50.715 And, of course, you have the American military industrial complex, 00:34:50.735 --> 00:34:54.995 which is very important because should a nation state decide, 00:34:55.155 --> 00:34:57.755 well, no, we're not going to play by this game anymore. 00:34:58.095 --> 00:35:00.535 We want to chart our own sovereign course. 00:35:01.375 --> 00:35:05.155 That's when the American military is useful. That's when they will then bring 00:35:05.155 --> 00:35:11.295 Venezuela or whatever country, Libya, under the heels of the, 00:35:11.415 --> 00:35:14.555 again, bring it into the canopy of the one world government. 00:35:15.055 --> 00:35:18.015 Then, of course, we have in one other corner, so that's in the center. 00:35:18.175 --> 00:35:22.895 We have in another corner, we have the United Kingdom with the Commonwealth of Nations. 00:35:23.375 --> 00:35:27.675 As we could see during this pandemic, their protocols were absolutely vicious, 00:35:27.895 --> 00:35:29.495 the way they rolled out everything. 00:35:29.755 --> 00:35:34.115 And that emanated, all started in Mother England and then went all throughout 00:35:34.115 --> 00:35:38.435 the Commonwealth, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. 00:35:38.935 --> 00:35:43.015 So that was formulated from that corner. And then in another corner, 00:35:43.135 --> 00:35:45.135 we have the European Parliament. 00:35:46.197 --> 00:35:50.977 Which is modeled, the system of the European Parliament is modeled after the 00:35:50.977 --> 00:35:54.717 Soviet system with no democratic oversight. 00:35:55.477 --> 00:35:59.157 Members are appointed. They're not elected by anyone in the European Commission. 00:35:59.437 --> 00:36:05.997 Most of them are bankers. So it's great to roll out any dystopian nightmare. 00:36:06.317 --> 00:36:10.877 And of course, the five key objectives for this to work is, of course, 00:36:11.757 --> 00:36:15.997 digital biometric ids thought crime 00:36:15.997 --> 00:36:18.837 laws in canada were labeled as hot 00:36:18.837 --> 00:36:22.017 hate crime laws but the same meaning so thought crime 00:36:22.017 --> 00:36:25.157 uh carbon credit system social credit 00:36:25.157 --> 00:36:28.157 system and of course digital central bank currencies 00:36:28.157 --> 00:36:31.217 so some nations have really implemented all 00:36:31.217 --> 00:36:35.017 five of those objectives to create the technate 00:36:35.017 --> 00:36:38.517 uh the perfect technocracy technate for example 00:36:38.517 --> 00:36:41.837 china which is another pillar and its influence 00:36:41.837 --> 00:36:45.077 or sphere of nations that it controls for example 00:36:45.077 --> 00:36:50.437 right now as we speak China's trying to help Vietnam to develop a central bank 00:36:50.437 --> 00:36:55.597 digital currency for Vietnam so that's how it's starting so they're in charge 00:36:55.597 --> 00:37:01.137 of that sphere so China is now already a full technique all five objectives 00:37:01.137 --> 00:37:04.677 have been met and then in another corner we have Russia. 00:37:05.957 --> 00:37:07.297 Under Vladimir Putin. 00:37:07.597 --> 00:37:11.097 They're rolling out everything as fast as possible as well. Central bank digital 00:37:11.097 --> 00:37:14.557 currency, it's all being rolled out. 00:37:15.017 --> 00:37:19.757 They don't have a real social credit system yet or carbon credit system, 00:37:19.897 --> 00:37:21.117 but I'm sure they're working on that. 00:37:21.990 --> 00:37:27.570 They don't have an actual hate crime in the books or thought crime laws in the 00:37:27.570 --> 00:37:29.410 books, but they don't need that. 00:37:29.550 --> 00:37:34.410 Because if you do criticize how Moscow is conducting the special military operation 00:37:34.410 --> 00:37:37.910 in Ukraine, well, the FSB will be knocking at your door. 00:37:38.430 --> 00:37:42.310 So indirectly, it's already been constructed. 00:37:43.450 --> 00:37:47.670 And then so that I believe I've covered all there, the EU, China, 00:37:48.130 --> 00:37:53.970 UK and European Union. So those are the five pillars that are supporting this 00:37:53.970 --> 00:37:55.630 one world globalist government. 00:37:56.030 --> 00:37:59.310 But the pillars need a solid foundation to stand on. 00:38:00.050 --> 00:38:04.270 None of what I've just described for the past 10 minutes would be possible if 00:38:04.270 --> 00:38:06.950 it was not for the financial monetary system of the world. 00:38:07.470 --> 00:38:10.270 That's all the central banks, the Bank of International Settlements, 00:38:10.550 --> 00:38:14.550 the Bank of England, the United States Federal Reserve, et cetera, 00:38:14.690 --> 00:38:19.070 et cetera, and all of their banking institutions. Without the help of the central 00:38:19.070 --> 00:38:22.210 banking establishment, none of this would be possible. 00:38:23.125 --> 00:38:26.045 If you pull the BIS out of the equation, all the banks, all the money, 00:38:26.645 --> 00:38:29.605 the entire structure would collapse in a matter of days. 00:38:30.245 --> 00:38:33.425 But that's unfortunately, that's where we are right now. 00:38:35.125 --> 00:38:39.705 Once again, that is David Skripik, the research associate at the Center for 00:38:39.705 --> 00:38:42.025 Research on Globalization at globalresearch.ca. 00:38:42.245 --> 00:38:46.605 And I will once again recommend that interested parties read his article, 00:38:46.765 --> 00:38:50.685 Greenland, Donald Trump, Technocracy, and the Globalist New World Order, 00:38:50.685 --> 00:38:54.945 for more of the bones of what we fleshed out there. 00:38:55.185 --> 00:39:01.505 But I think you get the point. This multipolar global world order that is much 00:39:01.505 --> 00:39:07.485 ballyhooed in certain geopolitical circles is better described as a multi-pillar 00:39:07.485 --> 00:39:11.045 globalist world order that is coming into view, 00:39:11.225 --> 00:39:17.305 that is being propped up by all of the parties playing their part in this gigantic charade. 00:39:17.425 --> 00:39:22.365 And that is not to say, of course, that there is no two-dimensional aspect to 00:39:22.365 --> 00:39:27.645 what is happening here, that there is no rivalry or jockeying of position between 00:39:27.645 --> 00:39:31.385 the various factions within this multi-pillar globalist world order. 00:39:31.585 --> 00:39:36.185 Surely there is, and many of the people involved in the nation-state apparatus 00:39:36.185 --> 00:39:41.465 of these various pillars of the globalist world order no doubt do believe themselves 00:39:41.465 --> 00:39:47.485 to be virtuous nationalist warriors fighting for their particular nation-state. 00:39:47.485 --> 00:39:52.485 But as usual, we have to keep in mind that the people at the very top of the 00:39:52.485 --> 00:39:57.825 power pyramid do not identify with the nation state structure that they dangle 00:39:57.825 --> 00:40:03.825 out before us as the one totalizing answer to this puzzle of what is happening 00:40:03.825 --> 00:40:05.165 on the geopolitical chessboard. 00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:12.060 But having said that, this is an hypothesis, and like any hypothesis, it is open to testing. 00:40:12.520 --> 00:40:18.340 Evaluation, and reinterpretation, as need be, as different data come along to 00:40:18.340 --> 00:40:21.680 either bolster or to go against that hypothesis. 00:40:21.680 --> 00:40:27.020 So let's see if we can test this with what is happening in the real world right now. 00:40:27.240 --> 00:40:32.900 Is there a multipolar, genuine struggle for dominance going on between distinct 00:40:32.900 --> 00:40:36.900 areas of the geopolitical circus? Is there a U.S. 00:40:37.060 --> 00:40:43.280 Anglosphere order that's competing against a BRICS multipolar order led by Russia and China? 00:40:43.540 --> 00:40:49.900 Or is there some degree of collaboration and a broader agenda to implement technocracy? 00:40:50.080 --> 00:40:52.620 How can we possibly adjudicate this question? 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:58.500 Well, why don't we look back again at that map of the technate of America as 00:40:58.500 --> 00:41:03.900 proposed by Howard Scott back in 1940 and how that maps onto or fails to map 00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:07.800 onto the current geopolitical reality of the U.S. 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:14.640 National security doctrine and what is actually taking place on the grand chessboard and. 00:41:15.068 --> 00:41:19.148 Let's see if there's some correlation there that might point to the fact that 00:41:19.148 --> 00:41:23.028 this is a deeper explanation of what is going on, not just in Greenland, 00:41:23.088 --> 00:41:24.908 but in other points around the world. 00:41:25.028 --> 00:41:28.908 So let's turn to an observation that was made on a recent edition of the Cognitive 00:41:28.908 --> 00:41:34.208 Dissidence podcast by Hervoye Morich of Geopolitics and Empire, 00:41:34.208 --> 00:41:36.548 who points out that, yes, in fact, 00:41:36.728 --> 00:41:40.908 when you map the U.S.'s current geopolitical ambitions onto this Technate of 00:41:40.908 --> 00:41:48.808 America map from Howard Scott, But it points out exactly what we see taking place right now. 00:41:50.388 --> 00:41:54.988 Technically, Greenland is tectonically part of the technate. 00:41:55.148 --> 00:42:03.748 It's because Greenland is part of the North American tectonic plate, which I find funny. 00:42:04.168 --> 00:42:08.888 And then just my trends again, this is a little peek for my paid subscriber material. 00:42:09.088 --> 00:42:15.488 But you notice the trend. Like, given the work that we've done on CDE the past 00:42:15.488 --> 00:42:20.868 months, the trend continues of the formation of the tech name. 00:42:20.948 --> 00:42:23.948 When we talk about Venezuela and all that in Mexico. 00:42:24.628 --> 00:42:30.268 So I have a Mexican friend of mine. He works somehow related to law. 00:42:30.848 --> 00:42:33.968 And he doesn't believe. He believes that the Mexican government is going to 00:42:33.968 --> 00:42:34.988 do whatever Washington wants. 00:42:35.168 --> 00:42:39.528 And we're seeing that so far. He doesn't think we're going to see, like, a war with Mexico. 00:42:39.528 --> 00:42:42.608 And the most recent examples you had 00:42:42.608 --> 00:42:45.708 FBI apparently acting on Mexican 00:42:45.708 --> 00:42:51.428 territory which is against Mexican law and Scheinbaum says oh la la la I don't 00:42:51.428 --> 00:42:55.008 know what's going on it didn't happen because there was this Canadian he was 00:42:55.008 --> 00:42:59.508 a former Canadian athlete you know that story Ryan something Canadian athlete 00:42:59.508 --> 00:43:05.088 who was running drugs in Mexico so the FBI breaking Mexican sovereignty. 00:43:06.028 --> 00:43:11.808 Scheinbaum doesn't care then you have Scheinbaum being forced to cut off oil to Cuba. 00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:16.540 Doing whatever Washington wants. Then the cartel transfers. They've done like 00:43:16.540 --> 00:43:18.980 100 cartel members, shipped them off to America. 00:43:19.220 --> 00:43:22.320 Apparently those are illegal according to Mexican law. Yeah, 00:43:22.420 --> 00:43:24.320 what was that about? I couldn't. 00:43:24.700 --> 00:43:27.840 The U.S. says we want these cartel guys and Mexico just sends them. 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.460 And apparently that is against Mexican law. 00:43:31.180 --> 00:43:35.380 And so they're doing whatever the empire wants. And then goes to Colombia, 00:43:35.560 --> 00:43:38.200 which I was, this was crazy. I just saw this story. 00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:41.840 Gustavo Petro is going to meet with Trump a few days before that. 00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:44.080 But Colombia is doing narco cleanup. 00:43:44.380 --> 00:43:50.640 They just got like half a dozen Colombian narco cocaine cartel members. 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:53.340 So it's like you said, OK, Colombia is doing whatever Washington wants. 00:43:53.780 --> 00:43:57.860 Costa Rica just got a new kind of like MAGA-ish technocratic right wing president. 00:43:58.160 --> 00:44:01.740 There you go. Costa Rica is falling into line. The Panama Canal ports, 00:44:02.200 --> 00:44:06.000 right? They just ruled against the Chinese, the Hong Kong company. 00:44:06.220 --> 00:44:10.280 That's falling into line. Venezuela is privatizing its oil sector now. 00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:12.300 Wow, that's falling into line. 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:19.120 And here's the story from CNN, U.S. planning CIA foothold in post-Maduro Venezuela. 00:44:19.560 --> 00:44:22.820 So then when you talk about Greenland, it's just kind of like. 00:44:23.620 --> 00:44:29.500 It's all coming together. Once again, that is Hervoy Morich of geopolitics and 00:44:29.500 --> 00:44:33.620 empire.com speaking on a recent edition of the Cognitive Dissidence podcast. 00:44:33.620 --> 00:44:37.140 So I will throw that link in the show notes, along with absolutely everything 00:44:37.140 --> 00:44:43.660 else discussed and or shown here on today's podcast at CorbettReport.com slash Greenland. 00:44:43.660 --> 00:44:51.700 So you can start going into in more in greater detail the specific items in today's podcast. 00:44:52.380 --> 00:44:56.520 But having said that, I hope people understand what is being presented here. 00:44:56.700 --> 00:45:02.880 There is a Cold War 2.0 that is taking place and taking shape right now. 00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:09.660 We are seeing the outlines of a grand geoeconomic slash geostrategic slash geopolitical 00:45:09.660 --> 00:45:14.220 struggle that is manifesting in a number of ways in various places, 00:45:14.420 --> 00:45:18.460 including the Northern Corridor, and for a number of reasons, 00:45:18.640 --> 00:45:20.140 including the control of resources. 00:45:20.140 --> 00:45:25.460 But this is not being done in the service of a two-dimensional geopolitical 00:45:25.460 --> 00:45:31.300 agenda in which nation states are competing against each other for national self-interest. 00:45:31.620 --> 00:45:34.720 This is part of a much, much broader agenda. 00:45:34.946 --> 00:45:39.466 Idea, an agenda that is being shaped by an ideology, the ideology. 00:45:39.886 --> 00:45:42.206 The guiding ideology of technocracy. 00:45:42.206 --> 00:45:49.626 And that is being implemented in country after country all around the world, including in Russia, 00:45:49.866 --> 00:45:55.126 including in China, including in the United States and the UK and Japan and 00:45:55.126 --> 00:45:59.846 Taiwan and Scotland and everywhere else on the geopolitical chessboard. 00:46:00.006 --> 00:46:04.826 Because as I have had cause to point out many times before and will no doubt 00:46:04.826 --> 00:46:07.086 many times again in the future. 00:46:07.366 --> 00:46:15.306 This is a struggle of the ruling oligarchs against you and me and everybody 00:46:15.306 --> 00:46:19.066 else. This is not about nation states and national interest. 00:46:19.246 --> 00:46:24.446 This is about a ruling oligarchy that is consolidating their control over the 00:46:24.446 --> 00:46:30.066 geopolitical chessboard and trying to recruit us to be pawns in their two dimensional fights. 00:46:30.346 --> 00:46:35.486 Yes, there is jockeying for position that goes on within this multi-pillar globalist 00:46:35.486 --> 00:46:40.546 world order, but it is not a straightforward two-dimensional chess match as 00:46:40.546 --> 00:46:45.226 is presented in the mainstream propaganda establishment media. 00:46:45.646 --> 00:46:50.206 Anyway, there's plenty of food for thought in today's episode and much, 00:46:50.366 --> 00:46:52.106 much more to explore in the various 00:46:52.106 --> 00:46:55.486 links that I will be linking up at corbettreport.com/greenland. 00:46:55.626 --> 00:46:59.246 So I invite you to explore that information on your own time. 00:46:59.386 --> 00:47:04.966 And please do report back to headquarters with other pieces of this geopolitical 00:47:04.966 --> 00:47:06.386 puzzle that you find interesting. 00:47:06.666 --> 00:47:11.826 And as always, Corbett Report members are invited to log on to corbettereport.com 00:47:11.826 --> 00:47:15.926 and leave your comments in the comments for today's podcast. 00:47:15.926 --> 00:47:21.626 I'm looking forward to seeing your feedback on this and exploring this subject 00:47:21.626 --> 00:47:25.366 in much greater detail in the future. But that's going to do it for today. 00:47:25.706 --> 00:47:29.026 I am James Corbett of corbettreport.com thanking you for investing your time 00:47:29.026 --> 00:47:30.066 in today's exploration. 00:47:33.694 --> 00:47:34.534 The deep state, 00:47:38.094 --> 00:47:41.434 false flags 9-11 truth, 00:47:43.694 --> 00:47:48.594 the federal reserve secret wars and hidden histories, 00:47:51.134 --> 00:47:55.954 fake news medical martial law ceaseless propaganda, 00:47:58.534 --> 00:48:06.994 James Corbett.
