WEBVTT 00:00:12.903 --> 00:00:16.083 Welcome back to New World Next Week. I'm James Corbett of CorbettReport.com. 00:00:16.243 --> 00:00:19.303 And I'm James Evan Palato of MediaMonarchy.com. 00:00:19.423 --> 00:00:24.523 Continued harassment and threats in international waters and airspace will not be tolerated. 00:00:24.683 --> 00:00:29.643 We have got that story plus critical mineral stockpiles. But first, the biggie. 00:00:30.103 --> 00:00:34.623 Clinton's to sit for deposition in House panel's Epstein inquiry. 00:00:34.843 --> 00:00:36.663 Have you heard any new Epstein news lately? 00:00:37.103 --> 00:00:40.423 Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 00:00:40.423 --> 00:00:44.043 will sit for depositions later this month in the House Oversight Committee's 00:00:44.043 --> 00:00:46.783 inquiry into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 00:00:46.963 --> 00:00:53.243 According to House Oversight Chairman James Comer, Hillary is scheduled to testify February 26th. 00:00:53.603 --> 00:00:57.963 Big, beautiful bill will sit the following day, February 27th. 00:00:58.263 --> 00:01:01.283 The Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, 00:01:01.723 --> 00:01:03.203 filmed depositions this month. 00:01:03.463 --> 00:01:06.883 We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into 00:01:06.883 --> 00:01:11.483 the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell to deliver transparency and accountability 00:01:11.483 --> 00:01:16.303 for the American people and for survivors, Comer, a Republican, wrote in a statement. 00:01:16.543 --> 00:01:20.723 Clinton spokesperson Nick Merrill called for the Clintons to testify in a public 00:01:20.723 --> 00:01:24.583 hearing instead of appearing for a deposition, writing, at the 11th hour, 00:01:24.743 --> 00:01:26.263 James Comer asked for a camera. 00:01:26.443 --> 00:01:31.163 That's fine. We can have a thousand cameras. The Clintons will do this publicly. 00:01:31.923 --> 00:01:35.023 The Clintons' realization that a deposition would be recorded on 00:01:35.023 --> 00:01:38.183 video should not come as a surprise the subpoenas issued 00:01:38.183 --> 00:01:41.423 by congress explicitly called for depositions and 00:01:41.423 --> 00:01:44.403 the house's deposition rules direct the committee chair 00:01:44.403 --> 00:01:51.043 to quote ensure that the testimony is trans it's so funny to say in 2026 make 00:01:51.043 --> 00:01:56.123 sure you tape it everything is taped everywhere constantly all the time so why 00:01:56.123 --> 00:01:59.863 wouldn't this i mean i know george and dick didn't have to be on tape when they 00:01:59.863 --> 00:02:01.543 testified about 9-11 together. 00:02:02.874 --> 00:02:07.914 To ensure that the testimony is transcribed and may also require testimony to 00:02:07.914 --> 00:02:11.814 be electronically recorded, including by video recording. 00:02:12.094 --> 00:02:15.954 A Republican aide said that these depositions will be conducted behind closed 00:02:15.954 --> 00:02:17.674 doors, not public hearings. 00:02:17.934 --> 00:02:23.254 That aide added that a location for the depositions is still TBD to be decided 00:02:23.254 --> 00:02:26.274 as the Clintons pushed for them to take place in New York City, 00:02:26.554 --> 00:02:29.334 being the noted lifelong New Yorkers that they are. 00:02:29.574 --> 00:02:33.974 Last month, the House Oversight Committee voted to advance two bipartisan resolutions 00:02:33.974 --> 00:02:38.294 holding the Clintons in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with its 00:02:38.294 --> 00:02:39.634 subpoenas related to Epstein. 00:02:39.854 --> 00:02:43.854 For months, the Clintons insisted the subpoenas were without legal merit. 00:02:44.374 --> 00:02:49.254 Comer had pushed back, saying the Clintons were not above the law and must comply with the subpoena. 00:02:49.434 --> 00:02:52.694 Besides defying the subpoenas to testify before the House Committee, 00:02:53.094 --> 00:02:58.634 neither Bill nor Hillary have been accused of wrongdoing and both deny having 00:02:58.634 --> 00:03:01.154 any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. 00:03:01.494 --> 00:03:05.874 No Epstein survivor or associate has ever made a public allegation of wrongdoing 00:03:05.874 --> 00:03:09.734 or inappropriate behavior by the former president or his wife in connection 00:03:09.734 --> 00:03:12.174 with his prior relationship with Epstein. 00:03:12.334 --> 00:03:16.474 It's just the dozens of women from 30 years ago in Troopergate, I guess. 00:03:16.834 --> 00:03:22.294 Also, no word on whether the current puppet and his Zionist doge buddy will be deposed. 00:03:22.774 --> 00:03:25.834 All these links in the show notes, takeaways from the 00:03:25.834 --> 00:03:28.954 millions of newly released epstein files 00:03:28.954 --> 00:03:31.734 newly released jeffrey epstein files 10 key 00:03:31.734 --> 00:03:38.314 takeaways and just one gnarly note out of it whoops we accidentally published 00:03:38.314 --> 00:03:44.114 all kinds of footage of naked underage females in the epstein files thousands 00:03:44.114 --> 00:03:48.114 of epstein documents taken down after victims identified the government published 00:03:48.114 --> 00:03:51.034 dozens of nude photos in the epstein files. 00:03:51.234 --> 00:03:54.134 So writes the New York Times. It's the government. 00:03:54.874 --> 00:03:58.414 So James, if you thought big, beautiful bills, sex crimes were grody, 00:03:58.534 --> 00:04:02.354 how about Dr. Gates with Russian hookers and STDs and what? 00:04:03.433 --> 00:04:08.173 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolute craziness. So I'm sure people have been following 00:04:08.173 --> 00:04:11.693 this, but there's a lot of interesting twists and turns and bumps in the road here. 00:04:12.013 --> 00:04:17.313 Like the fact that so apparently that Bill Gates story is sourcing from an email 00:04:17.313 --> 00:04:22.973 that Jeffrey Epstein sent to himself or was a draft email that he didn't send 00:04:22.973 --> 00:04:26.293 that he was drafting as if he was resigning from the Bill Gates Foundation, 00:04:26.593 --> 00:04:27.453 which he clearly wasn't. 00:04:27.553 --> 00:04:30.853 So was he doing this for his friend at the Gates Foundation? 00:04:31.273 --> 00:04:35.253 Like, what is what is the story here? There's a lot of things like this and, you know, 00:04:35.353 --> 00:04:40.793 the Trump allegations that are in some of these documents that are just allegations 00:04:40.793 --> 00:04:44.173 from anonymous sources or weird things like Jeffrey Epstein writing emails to 00:04:44.173 --> 00:04:48.533 himself that will probably a lot of this stuff, at least the attention grabbing, 00:04:48.753 --> 00:04:52.953 MSM headline grabbing sort of stuff is probably going to be debunked later on. 00:04:53.193 --> 00:04:56.133 See, guys, there really was nothing here. But there's a lot, 00:04:56.273 --> 00:04:59.813 a lot that is here and some crazy stuff. 00:04:59.813 --> 00:05:02.733 Stuff so i will be i mean i'll be throwing my 00:05:02.733 --> 00:05:05.793 hat into the ring i'm going to be writing about that in my newsletter this 00:05:05.793 --> 00:05:08.613 weekend 10 things i learned from the epstein files covering all 00:05:08.613 --> 00:05:12.153 sorts of craziness like designer babies and uh and 00:05:12.153 --> 00:05:18.413 gmax on the shadow 9-11 commission and all sorts of weirdness going on the rothschilds 00:05:18.413 --> 00:05:22.833 a rothschild casually admitting that the rothschilds supported hitler in order 00:05:22.833 --> 00:05:28.553 to gain more power like yeah okay it's there in the in these emails just craziness 00:05:28.553 --> 00:05:32.073 So I'll be going through all that kind of stuff. Yes. 00:05:32.613 --> 00:05:38.213 But where have we heard about depositions behind closed doors off the record? Not going to be. 00:05:38.533 --> 00:05:42.993 Oh, yeah, that's exactly like the 9-11 Commission with Bush and Cheney, 00:05:43.073 --> 00:05:45.553 right? Behind closed doors. Not under oath. 00:05:45.973 --> 00:05:50.313 Yay. Wonderful. So that will result in precisely nothing. And I think that's 00:05:50.313 --> 00:05:53.413 the that's the real bottom line key takeaway from this. 00:05:53.613 --> 00:05:57.813 I think Thomas Massey said it best. Until we see rich men handcuffed and perp 00:05:57.813 --> 00:05:59.633 walked, this is still a cover up. 00:06:00.264 --> 00:06:05.104 That's it. So, yes, it is still a cover up. And guess who's coming out saying 00:06:05.104 --> 00:06:06.484 it's time to move on, guys? 00:06:06.684 --> 00:06:10.224 We really the country needs to move on. Yes, Donald Trump. Surprise, surprise. 00:06:10.564 --> 00:06:15.844 Once again, the Epstein hoax, hoax perpetrator is trying once again to tell 00:06:15.844 --> 00:06:17.444 us it's all a big Democrat hoax. 00:06:17.584 --> 00:06:19.504 And we it's time to move on, guys. 00:06:19.704 --> 00:06:23.864 We've it's completely absolved all of us. There was no trafficking to anyone. 00:06:24.324 --> 00:06:29.244 Don't look at the actual emails. Who cares? Move on. Well, anyway, we're not moving on. 00:06:29.404 --> 00:06:32.304 I'll be covering it this weekend. I'm sure we'll be talking more about this 00:06:32.304 --> 00:06:34.564 as more revelations emerge. 00:06:35.044 --> 00:06:38.644 I would not be surprised to see Ghislaine sprung this year. 00:06:39.124 --> 00:06:45.444 I mean, all the other folks, all the other criminals get sprung after some lawyer 00:06:45.444 --> 00:06:50.224 whoopsie gets, of course, put in like a poison pill into the case on a previous 00:06:50.224 --> 00:06:52.424 Epstein document dump, James. 00:06:52.424 --> 00:06:55.844 And there's been several of these over the last several weeks and several months. 00:06:56.204 --> 00:06:59.884 One of them from several weeks back, I was going over on my morning show where, 00:07:00.004 --> 00:07:05.004 yes, they included things that were debunked and never true in the files that 00:07:05.004 --> 00:07:06.824 are released as the official files. 00:07:07.004 --> 00:07:12.424 The last one, the thing that caught my eye, including allegedly fake allegations 00:07:12.424 --> 00:07:16.144 of connections to Larry Nassar, the known U.S. 00:07:16.364 --> 00:07:20.044 Gymnastics abuser who was an open secret and allowed to abuse people. 00:07:20.044 --> 00:07:23.284 And they made Kayla Maroney, that's why Kayla Maroney makes that face. 00:07:23.644 --> 00:07:26.824 They made her sign non-disclosure agreements. But that apparently, 00:07:27.004 --> 00:07:29.564 allegedly, Nassar had nothing to do with Epstein. 00:07:29.744 --> 00:07:34.404 But there he is in the Epstein files as part of the misinfo disinformation. 00:07:34.904 --> 00:07:41.164 We will be hearing about digging through these documents, I would imagine, for decades, James. 00:07:41.524 --> 00:07:45.244 And that is how we get going on this New World Next Week, episode 618, 00:07:45.624 --> 00:07:50.864 our first for February 2026. We appreciate you being here for long-running independent 00:07:50.864 --> 00:07:53.264 media. Again, brought to you by you. 00:07:54.170 --> 00:08:01.230 Trump to launch $12 billion critical mineral stockpile to blunt reliance on China. 00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:06.170 Remember, don't give your personal info to TikTok China. Give it to TikTok USA. 00:08:06.790 --> 00:08:10.290 Grabbing this from, that's right, the rumored to be Rothschild-controlled Reuters. 00:08:10.830 --> 00:08:15.610 Trump announced plans to launch a strategic stockpile of critical minerals backed 00:08:15.610 --> 00:08:19.310 by $10 billion in seed funding from the U.S. 00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:26.090 Export-Import Bank, which, of course, is run by, you know, Art Vandelay. 00:08:26.767 --> 00:08:30.267 For years, American businesses have risked running out of critical minerals 00:08:30.267 --> 00:08:33.567 during market disruptions, Trump said during an Oval Office event, 00:08:33.707 --> 00:08:35.547 of which there's no shortage. 00:08:35.927 --> 00:08:41.007 Today, we're launching what will be known as Project Vault, to ensure that American 00:08:41.007 --> 00:08:44.127 businesses and workers are never harmed by any shortage. 00:08:44.607 --> 00:08:49.087 Washington has been moving to offset what policymakers view as Chinese manipulation 00:08:49.087 --> 00:08:52.947 of prices for lithium, nickel, rare earths, and other critical minerals, 00:08:52.947 --> 00:08:56.007 which are vital to making those awesome electric vehicles, 00:08:56.387 --> 00:09:01.167 high-tech weaponry, and all your other track-and-trace fondle slab kind of goods. 00:09:01.587 --> 00:09:05.387 The U.S. has stymied U.S. mining companies for years. 00:09:05.607 --> 00:09:10.067 That has stymied U.S. mining companies for years. The project will combine $2 00:09:10.067 --> 00:09:15.787 billion in private funding with a $10 billion loan from the Exim Bank, 00:09:15.927 --> 00:09:20.547 the aforementioned import-export bank, to acquire and stockpile minerals for automakers, 00:09:20.887 --> 00:09:23.667 technology companies, and other manufacturers, 00:09:24.007 --> 00:09:28.047 like Trump's good buddies at Palantir, building a list of freedom. 00:09:28.687 --> 00:09:31.847 The export bank said it approved the loan on Monday. 00:09:32.207 --> 00:09:37.747 Rare Earth and critical mineral stocks, including MP Materials and USA Rare Earth, Inc. 00:09:38.147 --> 00:09:43.147 Rose on media reports that an announcement on the $12 billion initiative was imminent. 00:09:43.587 --> 00:09:48.367 General Motors chief executive Mary Barra and mining billionaire Robert Friedland, 00:09:48.547 --> 00:09:52.167 who both represent producers and users of critical minerals, 00:09:52.347 --> 00:09:54.067 attended the Oval Office event. 00:09:54.327 --> 00:09:59.267 Project Vault is intended to help U.S. auto industry while letting companies 00:09:59.267 --> 00:10:02.007 keep related risks off of their balance sheet. 00:10:02.147 --> 00:10:06.587 The company, the official said, comparing the logistics of the project to it's 00:10:06.587 --> 00:10:10.007 just a Costco membership that allows for buying in large volumes. 00:10:10.007 --> 00:10:14.887 It's just Costco for pedo Zionists and murdering people around the world and 00:10:14.887 --> 00:10:19.787 digging up, you know, all our rare earths are always hidden under other people's feats. 00:10:20.637 --> 00:10:25.557 Japan says rare earth found in sediment retrieved on deep sea missions. 00:10:25.557 --> 00:10:30.717 So they'll go from deep sea diving to, of course, James, mining on asteroids 00:10:30.717 --> 00:10:33.477 probably sometime after 2030. James. 00:10:34.417 --> 00:10:38.697 Right. Yeah, this is one of those stories that people might just gloss over 00:10:38.697 --> 00:10:41.457 and whatever. There's some rare earth thing. Who cares? 00:10:41.677 --> 00:10:47.437 I think this is actually incredibly important for the geostrategic way that Cold War 2.0 is forming. 00:10:47.437 --> 00:10:52.337 And what it is really about is is about supply lines and is about the supplies 00:10:52.337 --> 00:10:54.097 that are being supplied through those supply lines, 00:10:54.257 --> 00:10:59.617 like gallium and cesium and yttrium and all these other weird things that the 00:10:59.617 --> 00:11:03.357 most average people on the street would have no idea what it even is. Who cares? 00:11:03.577 --> 00:11:07.177 But it's for industrial uses, for all sorts of high tech gadgetry. 00:11:07.337 --> 00:11:12.797 And yeah, the kinds of stuff that ends up in your smart fondle slab device, tracking device, etc. 00:11:13.117 --> 00:11:17.477 And it's exceptionally important to the global economy. And in order to give 00:11:17.477 --> 00:11:21.317 the context for this, I will direct people to a very lengthy, 00:11:21.617 --> 00:11:26.617 very detailed discussion of the various ways China has been weaponizing the periodic table. 00:11:26.817 --> 00:11:28.877 That is the name of this article from Golden Geopolitics. 00:11:29.517 --> 00:11:34.597 Hat tip to my reportage publisher, Tim Lacey, who sent this this article to me. 00:11:34.717 --> 00:11:39.977 And oh, my God, it is it is just a wealth of information on this subject for 00:11:39.977 --> 00:11:41.697 people who want to start diving down that rabbit hole. 00:11:41.697 --> 00:11:45.117 I will have more to say about this in the future, because I think this is the 00:11:45.117 --> 00:11:48.837 key that unlocks a lot of the mysteries that are on the table right now, 00:11:48.917 --> 00:11:52.477 like that the Trump obsession with Greenland, et cetera. 00:11:52.717 --> 00:11:57.277 What is this all about? Northern corridor, supply lines, rare earths, 00:11:57.437 --> 00:12:01.817 these sorts of things are going to be determinative factors in the coming wars 00:12:01.817 --> 00:12:04.077 of the future, including one 00:12:04.077 --> 00:12:07.477 that may be on the table sooner rather than later, from what I understand. 00:12:07.477 --> 00:12:15.317 Mm-hmm james of course we talked about the precious a u on the periodic table 00:12:15.317 --> 00:12:17.677 last week of course gold and silver. 00:12:18.522 --> 00:12:26.122 But we will end with the end. As someone once said, World War III starts in Iran. 00:12:26.402 --> 00:12:31.102 U.S. shoots down Iranian drone approaching aircraft carrier in Arabian Sea. 00:12:31.442 --> 00:12:36.902 A U.S. fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone in the Arabian Sea early Tuesday 00:12:36.902 --> 00:12:40.582 after it aggressively approached an American aircraft carrier. 00:12:40.582 --> 00:12:45.202 It was about to take down the whole aircraft carrier. USS Abraham Lincoln was 00:12:45.202 --> 00:12:49.522 transiting the Arabian Sea approximately 500 miles from Iran's southern coast 00:12:49.522 --> 00:12:55.042 when an Iranian Shahid 139 drone unnecessarily maneuvered towards the ship. 00:12:55.282 --> 00:13:01.402 The Iranian drone continued to fly towards the ship despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. 00:13:01.502 --> 00:13:03.922 Forces operating in international waters. 00:13:04.102 --> 00:13:10.402 So said spokesman Captain Tim Hawkins of CENTCOM. That's not the first time, 00:13:10.482 --> 00:13:14.302 of course, the Trump admin has used the word de-escalatory in this last week. 00:13:14.402 --> 00:13:16.142 That's what they're doing now in Minneapolis. 00:13:17.549 --> 00:13:22.689 An F-35C fighter jet launched from the carrier, shot down the drone in self-defense 00:13:22.689 --> 00:13:25.409 to protect the vessel and its crew, Hawkins said. 00:13:25.709 --> 00:13:31.189 No U.S. service members were injured and no precious American equipment was damaged. 00:13:31.509 --> 00:13:37.389 Later that Tuesday, in the Strait of Hormuz, two boats belonging to Iran's Islamic 00:13:37.389 --> 00:13:42.329 Revolutionary Guard Corps and a Moharrier drone approached a U.S.-flagged, 00:13:42.709 --> 00:13:46.729 U.S.-crewed commercial vessel and threatened to board it and seize it. 00:13:46.729 --> 00:13:48.309 Look, they're the captain now. 00:13:48.589 --> 00:13:55.309 Hawkins said a U.S.-guided missile destroyer responded and is currently escorting the merchant ship. 00:13:56.029 --> 00:13:59.969 CENTCOM forces are operating at the highest levels of professionalism and ensuring 00:13:59.969 --> 00:14:03.669 the safety of U.S. personnel, ships, and aircraft in the precious Middle East. 00:14:04.149 --> 00:14:08.029 Continued Iranian harassment and threats in international waters will not be 00:14:08.029 --> 00:14:11.689 tolerated. Iran's unnecessary aggression near U.S. 00:14:12.129 --> 00:14:15.849 Forces at their back door, regional partners in commercial vessels, 00:14:16.049 --> 00:14:20.409 increases risks of collision, miscalculation, and regional destabilization, 00:14:20.669 --> 00:14:25.049 any and all of which they will use to gin up some type of war event on Iran. 00:14:25.670 --> 00:14:32.330 A very speculative attack, whether that's something in the 1960s or something 00:14:32.330 --> 00:14:33.710 last couple of weeks ago. 00:14:34.050 --> 00:14:38.590 Iran conditionally agrees to nuclear talks with U.S. That would be the first 00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:41.850 since Trump's military strikes last summer. 00:14:42.450 --> 00:14:46.690 Fantasies of fragmenting Iran only serve Israeli interests. That coming from 00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:47.790 Libertarian Institute. 00:14:48.090 --> 00:14:51.570 Iran protesters include Mossad and MEK agents. 00:14:51.570 --> 00:14:55.070 And the strange one meet the former fashion 00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:58.890 blogger slash shady doctor behind 30,000 00:14:58.890 --> 00:15:04.750 dead iran psyop james did you see the tweet the tweet from former cia director 00:15:04.750 --> 00:15:08.950 mike pompeo saying that we are with all those iranians marching in the street 00:15:08.950 --> 00:15:12.370 and know that for every one of those marching in the street we say hello to 00:15:12.370 --> 00:15:15.430 them and the most odd agent marching next to them. 00:15:16.810 --> 00:15:22.030 Yes, I did hear about that. And does that, I mean, does that surprise anyone? Of course, of course. 00:15:22.230 --> 00:15:25.550 And it's just saying the quiet part out loud for various reasons. 00:15:25.870 --> 00:15:29.550 Um, I hope people will check out that last article you're referencing about 00:15:29.550 --> 00:15:32.550 the former fashion blogger and the 30,000 dead lie. 00:15:32.870 --> 00:15:37.330 Um, it's a great takedown and expose of how that happened and how this one anonymous 00:15:37.330 --> 00:15:42.330 source gets unquestioningly repeated based on an estimate, just sort of a back of the, 00:15:42.430 --> 00:15:47.010 um, back at the envelope estimate that doesn't make any sense and can't possibly 00:15:47.010 --> 00:15:51.150 be true and then gets reported and then gets essentially cemented into the narrative. 00:15:51.150 --> 00:15:55.790 There's 30,000 dead in Iran. We must go in because if people are dying in protests, 00:15:56.370 --> 00:15:58.670 then that means other people should come in and invade them. 00:15:58.890 --> 00:16:01.310 Hey, wait, what's going on in the U.S. right now? Anyway, whatever. 00:16:04.450 --> 00:16:08.670 But meanwhile, in reality, you see the exact same people who have been crying 00:16:08.670 --> 00:16:10.850 about the 30,000 Iranian protesters, 00:16:11.170 --> 00:16:14.650 honestly it's 30,000 of them guys, are the same people who said oh, 00:16:14.830 --> 00:16:18.750 you know, that 70,000 dead in Gaza is just a totally made up number by those 00:16:18.750 --> 00:16:20.710 lying Hamas liars oh wait, 00:16:21.394 --> 00:16:25.514 Latest update, Israel surrenders to the truth, admits 70,000 killed in Gaza. 00:16:25.694 --> 00:16:32.434 That's right. The IDF official estimate is now 70,000 confirmed dead in Gaza. So there you go. 00:16:32.874 --> 00:16:38.494 But apparently that's OK. But the, you know, the 30,000 that totally happened in Iran. 00:16:38.714 --> 00:16:43.474 Anyway, on the Iran war story. So, of course, there has been this big buildup 00:16:43.474 --> 00:16:47.374 and there was a lot of expectation around something developing February 1st. 00:16:47.374 --> 00:16:50.254 There was all sorts of 00:16:50.254 --> 00:16:53.314 forces deployed across the region logistical chains aligned 00:16:53.314 --> 00:16:56.514 operational scenarios prepared etc it did 00:16:56.514 --> 00:17:01.394 not eventuate in the war that we were expecting at least not yet there's a good 00:17:01.394 --> 00:17:05.134 article up on global research about that iran a u.s demurral is not necessarily 00:17:05.134 --> 00:17:09.994 a de-escalation which talks about some of the reasons why perhaps washington 00:17:09.994 --> 00:17:13.634 is not pulling the trigger quite yet incomplete regional missile defense readiness 00:17:13.634 --> 00:17:15.694 alliance vulnerabilities in the region, U.S. 00:17:16.114 --> 00:17:19.614 Domestic political constraints, and diplomatic initiatives by none other than Russia. 00:17:20.334 --> 00:17:25.714 But perhaps the biggest part of the calculation is Washington's understanding 00:17:25.714 --> 00:17:28.334 that it needs to demonstrate, 00:17:28.534 --> 00:17:32.154 resolve, and sustain deterrence while remaining acutely aware that a direct 00:17:32.154 --> 00:17:37.094 strike on Iran carries the potential to trigger a cascading regional response. 00:17:37.254 --> 00:17:38.554 And I think that's the point. 00:17:39.554 --> 00:17:43.874 This is what I mean when I'm talking about World War III starts in Iran. 00:17:43.974 --> 00:17:46.234 It is not that there is one thing. 00:17:48.027 --> 00:17:51.947 Big confrontation that's going to happen in Iran. It's that all of the forces 00:17:51.947 --> 00:17:56.907 and things that are being deployed in order to wage a major theater war in the 00:17:56.907 --> 00:18:01.687 Middle East are forces that will not be deployable for Ukraine or Taiwan or 00:18:01.687 --> 00:18:02.707 anywhere else in the world. 00:18:02.947 --> 00:18:07.367 And that's the point at which China and Russia and other people on the geopolitical 00:18:07.367 --> 00:18:09.387 table start making their calculation. 00:18:09.587 --> 00:18:13.087 Well, then there's obviously a distraction there. We can make our move over 00:18:13.087 --> 00:18:14.447 here. And what are you going to do about it? 00:18:14.727 --> 00:18:21.367 That's the point at which the entire Game of Thrones becomes destabilized and 00:18:21.367 --> 00:18:25.927 you start seeing the musical Game of Chairs taking place, Game of Thrones, right? 00:18:26.287 --> 00:18:32.607 Anyway, of course, this is not to say that the Cold War 2.0 turning into World 00:18:32.607 --> 00:18:36.567 War III is not a staged and manipulated event. Of course, it is. 00:18:36.707 --> 00:18:40.187 But as I always point out, it means real people will really die in the real 00:18:40.187 --> 00:18:42.887 world, even if it is a staged and manipulated event. 00:18:43.087 --> 00:18:45.087 And that's what I think we'd all like to avoid. 00:18:45.427 --> 00:18:51.527 So again, I think we have to keep our eye on this, but we also have to realize that the, uh, the Iran, 00:18:51.967 --> 00:18:56.647 the ever present Iran war, Iran war, Iran war rhetoric is designed to, 00:18:56.947 --> 00:19:00.687 I think, get people's defenses down and basically wear them out in the war of 00:19:00.687 --> 00:19:04.127 attrition that is going on in the info war. See guys, nothing to see here. 00:19:04.307 --> 00:19:07.067 There's a big buildup and then nothing happens, big buildup and then nothing 00:19:07.067 --> 00:19:11.207 happens, big buildup and then nothing happens until there's a big buildup and something happens. 00:19:11.547 --> 00:19:14.967 And that's what we're hoping will not take place in the near future. 00:19:16.074 --> 00:19:22.854 I have a 21-year archive of It's Almost War on Iran at MediaMonarchy.com. 00:19:23.014 --> 00:19:31.054 It's been a part of the entire 9-11 truth world these last nearly 25 years. 00:19:31.234 --> 00:19:36.654 James, you say Game of Thrones, and I know it sounds kind of silly, but the board game Risk. 00:19:36.814 --> 00:19:41.454 If you play the board game Risk, it's really quite stunning. 00:19:41.454 --> 00:19:46.014 You realize, oh, you have to go through the Middle East. Literally, 00:19:46.154 --> 00:19:49.754 to win this board game, it's built like the way the Grand Chess Board is built. 00:19:50.074 --> 00:19:53.174 So much has to go through this specific area. 00:19:53.394 --> 00:19:56.374 And again, just to sort of gamify it like that, James, really, 00:19:56.554 --> 00:20:00.634 years ago, and of course I wasn't thinking, I'm going to play Risk because it'll 00:20:00.634 --> 00:20:04.594 inform me on geopolitics in the real world, but it was only as the game was 00:20:04.594 --> 00:20:06.574 getting down to the nitty gritty, it was like, damn, 00:20:07.114 --> 00:20:09.174 it is all about the Middle East. 00:20:09.934 --> 00:20:12.714 Now, a couple other speculative bits. 00:20:13.494 --> 00:20:18.334 What if they used sound wave cannons in Venezuela? We discussed why didn't the 00:20:18.334 --> 00:20:21.414 army do anything in Venezuela? The speculative notion, James, 00:20:21.574 --> 00:20:26.874 that maybe they did use sound wave cannons as they have rolled out in Minnesota lately. 00:20:27.594 --> 00:20:32.654 And what? I think the Epstein files say that World War III actually is going 00:20:32.654 --> 00:20:36.834 to start this Sunday, February 8th on Black Sunday Super Bowl. 00:20:37.594 --> 00:20:40.674 That's in the epstein files as well and see that's what 00:20:40.674 --> 00:20:43.594 can let somebody like trump say see all this stuff 00:20:43.594 --> 00:20:48.754 is all inflated out of out of proportion so why should you believe the epstein 00:20:48.754 --> 00:20:53.854 files and why should you believe inflated claims about the iran and israel war 00:20:53.854 --> 00:21:00.254 but of course remember always the best shady doctors are fashion bloggers we 00:21:00.254 --> 00:21:02.574 run newworldnextweek.com for. 00:21:03.957 --> 00:21:07.657 Our support, and you asked for it, t-shirts are back in stock, 00:21:07.717 --> 00:21:10.097 and we've got triple X sizes. 00:21:10.277 --> 00:21:13.897 We've got all the big sizes that people have asked for by special requests. 00:21:14.037 --> 00:21:16.937 You can find those back in stock at newworldnextweek.com. 00:21:17.317 --> 00:21:21.217 And I don't feel like I've mentioned in a long time, the post office box for 00:21:21.217 --> 00:21:23.097 people who don't do digital money. 00:21:23.257 --> 00:21:26.897 You might be thinking a lot about that lately with the funny world of money. 00:21:27.637 --> 00:21:31.557 The post office box always works.
