Chrome code macro and like I said, it's kind of a theme of this episode. Unfortunately, I want to talk a little bit about where we are in terms of World War Three or as Alex Jones says, we're in World War Four, but it kind of makes me ask questions. was, you know, Doc Malek on here and he and I become friends recently and real good guy and he had me on his show and we were talking about

what World War III would look like. And also history, the history of looking back on World War II and World War I, and then you say, well, World War I started with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and it was this and that. And you go, okay, well, maybe. mean, so much of the history I've learned is total horse shit that I can't take anything at face value anymore. So the reason that World War II started is said to be this. Okay, if you say so.

And the reason World War I started was this, and I go, all right, sure. But I don't take it as the truth because I have learned over time that history, as they say, is written by the victors. It's written in a way that is unrecognizable from reality. And I wonder if World War I didn't start six months earlier.

or a year earlier, I mean, who's to say? Is there somebody out there with a stopwatch and a calendar and says, this is the date? It's just when it all officially started. There wasn't anything that led up to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. There wasn't other stuff going on. I mean, what about that other stuff that created the context and the environment in which someone would need to murder this man and then kicks off all the other.

Charlie Robinson (04:47.416)
component and again this wasn't like

10 countries ganged up on four other countries. It starts small. It starts as a regional skirmish and then it turns into something else in part because of treaties and alliances and the relationship that one country has with a neighboring country. Hey, if we get invaded, you gotta help us out. Like we gotta sign some, if you get invaded, I'll get your back. And if I get invaded, you gotta get my back. And we have this treaty between these two countries and somebody gets invaded. And so it's like, hey buddy, I'm getting invaded here.

Need your help, remember that thing that we signed? So now that country's in. So now it's... But then that other country says, well, listen, we gotta get our friends too. It turns into a gang war. It starts with a fight between two people and the next thing you know, it's 10 people. So this is how it can happen. It's how it happened in World War I. And I have questions about this because I start to think that maybe the World War III, like...

the silent war is already underway.

And maybe World War III isn't going to look like the other two wars. Trench warfare and the mustard gas of World War I, and then that turned into the beaches of Northern France and German pillboxes and things like that, but everything's changed. mean, the world in the early 1900s for World War I and the world in the late 1930s and early 1940s for World War II,

Charlie Robinson (06:26.764)
Not too different.

know, advances of course, as you would expect over the course of 20 years in the aftermath, but not unrecognizable. I think the difference between where we are now and what was happening in World War II is tough to compare because so much has changed. Because the new battlefield, and we're taught, you it used to be that the Confederates lined up on one side and the Union,

They marched towards each other, one side's wearing red costumes, which is not great for camouflage. And they marched towards you, and then warfare kind of evolves. And then in World War I, you have trench warfare and you have mustard gas. And that really kind of depended on which direction the wind was blowing as to who died and that was a whole thing. And then World War II, you have these different versions of war. Using the new equipment.

that's available and fighting a war differently. Now where we are, mean, what we've seen on the battlefield, the actual battlefield in Ukraine is a new hybrid type of warfare with drones involved and it's man versus machine. It used to be man versus man and now it's a guy in a underground bunker.

2,000 miles away flying drones that are killing people in Ukraine. So the technology has changed, obviously. But I want to talk a little bit. This episode, we're going to get into the hidden world war that I think might have already started. Some of the new tactics, the new modern warfare arsenal, for lack of a better word. A lot of it's psychological. And the war symptoms, you know, there's...

Charlie Robinson (08:25.003)
You know you're in a war because the newspaper declares it and then you're in it. But what if they didn't declare it and you just looked around like you were an investigator or an actual doctor and you were looking at the symptom, you were saying, based on what I'm seeing here, it leads me to believe that maybe we're already in a war. So we'll talk a little bit about that. We'll talk about some of the war perspectives and we'll wrap up with the new faces of war.

and you'll recognize them, unfortunately, they're super dangerous. But if you're waiting for a little man with a half mustache to come out and weaponize and whip people into a frenzy, it's gonna be different this time. He'll be online. He won't be in front of crowds, goose-stepping and Roman saluting. He'll be in digital format somewhere. And this new form of warfare

is psychological and not physical, not so much physical. It's, look, the point of course is always control, global control. The tactics haven't really changed all that much, but you get into the Zbigniew Brzezinski quote where he talks about how the difference between controlling and killing a million people and how

that it's changed and how easy it is to do that these days. And of course, psychological control works. It's not, it sometimes works better than physical control. Physical control, you realize you're being controlled. Psychological control is more devious because you don't know if it's your own thoughts in your head or somebody else that's put them there.

And nobody likes to think that they're being controlled. It's a sign of weakness. If you're physically in a jail, you're being controlled. There's not much you can do about it. It's obvious for everybody to see. But if you're being psychologically controlled, that's a little bit more difficult to put your fingers on because you, it doesn't leave fingerprints, so to speak. We'll get into that though, because maybe it does over time. Manipulation.

Charlie Robinson (10:49.263)
is the goal, of course. It's always, they're trying to manipulate you into feeling a certain way about an enemy or feel a certain way about a person making them an enemy. And then once they're an enemy, turning them into an animal, turning the Japanese into monkeys, turning the goyum into insects or whatever it is you need to do to convince decent people, people who wouldn't normally pull the trigger, you have to convince them to do that.

They had problems in World War I because soldiers didn't want to shoot. They were shooting over the heads of people. didn't want to kill people. they were being forced. were lieutenants with sticks holding their guns down so that they wouldn't shoot over people's heads. We don't want to kill people unless those people are trying to kill us. Then it's a different story. Then all bets are off.

but you've got to manipulate people into this position in the first place. You've got to get them, know, think about the aftermath of 9-11, prime example of how you can use psychological manipulation to convince a bunch of people that 19 Arab hijackers with box cutters did this. They didn't, it's a fabricated story, but it's used to manipulate you and psychologically control you not to go to war. You're not necessarily going to go to war or maybe there's the...

the random Pat Tillman of the crew, but you have the, at least desire for your nation to go to war. You have the support of the public and that's important. They'll do it anyway. If they want to go to war, they'll go to war anyway, but it's way easier if the public supports it. So how do you get the public to support it? You have to manipulate them. You have to manipulate them. You have to say, we were attacked.

We're just good guys here. And these bad guys came out of nowhere and attacked us for no reason at all. And then the general public goes, well, holy shit, we've got to do something about that. And you go, yeah, we're going to go get them. And they say, yeah, go get them. And you go, we will, we will. We'll go get them in Iraq and we'll get them in Afghanistan. We'll get them in Syria. We'll get them all over. We'll get them wherever they are. And you'll find people that will say, good, do what you need to do. Remember that in the aftermath of 9-11?

Charlie Robinson (13:12.591)
They were like, we can do it. We can go and get the bad guys, but we're gonna need to take the gloves off. Is that okay? That was basically the sales pitch to the American public. Hey, we know who did this, 9-11. We know where they are. We know they're hiding and we can get them, but you know, in order to get them, we're gonna have to violate some of these rules and some of this stuff that says we can't do X, Y, and Z. We're gonna need to do it.

Is that okay? You know what the answer was? Do what you need to do. That was the sentiment in the general public in 2001, tail end. Go get them. So we can be manipulated into feeling certain ways. And now I think is the most dangerous time to be in a scenario like this. As I mentioned, psychological control works. Manipulation is the goal.

Battlefield tactics have changed. Obviously we see drones in Ukraine. The battlefield is the homeland legally now in the aftermath of the Patriot Act

Legal designations as domestic terrorists, right? You can call somebody a domestic terrorist in America and have that be just a pejorative slam on them as an insult and that'd be one thing. You can legally label them a domestic terrorist, which means that they're operating on the battlefield in the homeland, which makes them an enemy combatant with no rights. So this is the slippery slope of

classifying people who aren't wearing military fatigues of one team or the other.

Charlie Robinson (15:06.785)
It, warfare, warfare looks different now and you, can no longer hide from war just by avoiding the battlefield like you could in the past. You don't want to be in the war. Don't go near the battlefield. You don't have a choice anymore. The internet is the battlefield, right? Let's talk a little bit about this, the hidden world war. There is a fantastic article written by Chris McIntosh for international man.

I republished it on ActivistPost. When I had Doug Casey on, we were talking about his writers and I was letting him know, he already knew, but that I'd been republishing a lot of international man articles at ActivistPost because they're brilliant. And no sooner did we have that conversation about that than this article from Chris McIntosh talking about redefining war. War is conflict where parties use tools. This is redefining war.

War is conflict where parties use tools to increase their power and achieve outcomes that oppose others' interests.

So tanks on every corner is really obvious and super expensive. You could do it, but you can't do it for long. You can do it for shock value, but that doesn't last long term, because when the tanks leave, they're gone. And the threat leaves with them. But if you hamper somebody psychologically, they never know when you've left. They don't, the tank is always on the corner.

in their minds. And because they're invisible tanks now.

Charlie Robinson (16:51.351)
And they're everywhere, not just on Main Street.

And how do you triage digital wounds? know, start what? Start an IV drip to counteract the propaganda mind poison? How do we do this, right? Because the new battlefield is the digital battlefield. We talked a little bit about this with the digital new world order, but psychological warfare is massively important. If you can convince people,

to not even go to war, to give up before they have to fight, or to weaken their mentality. This is, we're getting into a level of warfare Sun Tzu could only dream of. The idea of manipulating your opponent without ever setting foot on the actual battlefield would be right up his alley.

So.

Charlie Robinson (17:56.772)
You know, it's no more in this new world war, it's no more camouflage fatigues, it's three piece suits. You know what I mean? I think the enemy looks a little different than what you might think he looks like. We're used to guys in bushes with machine guns trying to shoot you, but what happens if it's coming from Silicon Valley?

It's a whole different scenario. Modern warfare arsenal. Think of how the US and USAID pulled color revolutions. Think about how they did that. We know they did that. We've done plenty of episodes here about it, but even if you're not getting your information here, you know what USAID is doing. They're involved in aid, know, United States aid. We're aiding countries as long as they do what we say.

And if they don't do what we say, we will do a variety of things to them. We have tactics and, you know...

We don't use stealth bombers. The battlefield has been leveled. The barriers to entry are low. We don't need stealth bombers anymore. You don't need it. know, when Joe Biden says, what are you gonna, you know, rise up against, you're gonna need an F-16. No, you don't. Did barefoot villagers in Vietnam need F-16s 50 years ago to defeat the United States Army? No.

They needed tunnels. They were in black pajamas and barefoot with sandpan hats and AK-47s. And they did a number on us. if you think that you have to have elaborate weaponry to fight this system, maybe if you're on the actual traditional battlefield you do, it'd be a bad idea to go in there under-equipped. But these days there are a variety of different tactics that they can use against us.

Charlie Robinson (20:00.739)
that don't require us to be on the battlefield or for them to fire a shot. I'm talking about economic weapons, psychological operations, information warfare, political subversion, social manipulation, and biological warfare. There are ways in which you can be made to heal. And the people who are in charge of this have a pretty good idea how to

How to exert the most pressure on the enemy. Let's talk a little bit about economic weapons. We've seen this, we've got a prime example of this going on right now with Russia. What we've done, we, I say we, it's not me. The American empire and NATO in that group is trying to do to Russia. They put 19 different packages of sanctions on them. Russia is doing better than ever. It's funny, it's like declaring war.

Like, declare war and then everything gets, you know, different. Declare war on Russia and then Russia thrives. Declare a war on drugs. Drugs are everywhere. Declare war on poverty. Poverty everywhere. I'm just waiting for the government to declare a war on blondes with big tits. It'll never happen, of course. So economic weapons, sanctions. We see that with Russia. Crypto manipulation, that's happening. What about the Swift banking system?

They threw Russia off a bat, they threw Iran off a bat. That's something that prevents you from being part of global banking. They will control your resources to the extent that they can. They will slap tariffs on and use any form of supply chain manipulation. These are economic weapons. It doesn't feel like somebody is shooting at you from a helicopter.

but it impacts you nonetheless. So if you want to, you know, to really kind of understand how they take control of people is they, there's about five or six different ways they can do it and it's target specific. So first I would say psychological operations. For World War III, psychological operations have been underway for a while. I think that's

Charlie Robinson (22:32.048)
pretty obvious. I'm talking about media control, mockingbird CIA, problem reaction solution, social media, that sort of stuff. The psychological operations that are leading us into prepping the groundwork for us to...

to, I don't know, accept, enthusiastically support a third world war, those foundations are being laid right now through psychological operations run by the media. Now, for most of us, they're ineffective because we don't watch mainstream media because it's garbage and it's information junk food. But for the general public, they...

they don't know that or they don't care. And so for them, they'll be easily manipulated by this. mean, we will not, we can kind of see it. So it doesn't, and of course, if you know you're looking for propaganda and manipulation and you know what to look for, it's obvious, right? But if you're asleep at the wheel, kind of ignoring me, not paying attention and you're just consuming information from the news in 10 minute increments from every other day, you can be manipulated.

And they can get you feeling like we need to start World War III next week when you don't even know the backstory. So I think the psychological operations that are happening are pretty problem reaction solution. see this, you can whip people up into a frenzy, especially on social media. You can get them thinking that, hey, I have to go down to the ICE protests today. I have to go to No Kings Three.

Is there a No Kings 3? I'm assuming there's going to be. Everybody loves a sequel. Except like Fire Festival. whatever. Information warfare, we have cyber attacks. We have disinformation campaigns. Kind of hard, I could kind of put that in psychological operations in that bucket as well. We have in this under information warfare, we have the Smithmont Modernization Act of 2012, which legalized propaganda to be used in America on Americans. That seems like

Charlie Robinson (24:48.942)
an important component to try. you're, again, you're just, are we in World War III or not? Well, what is the criteria? Does it have to be a hot war? Well, no, not necessarily. It could be information war. Okay, well, what would you need to see in order for you to say that this, would you need to feel like there were, there was disinformation campaigns being run on you? Because there are. What about lies by omission?

What about cognitive dis- what about cyber attacks, actual cyber attacks that are, know, information warfare is happening all around us and it's been happening for a while. So when I say that I think that the information war component of World War III has already kicked off, I think we can make a pretty easy case for that with all the Russia, Russia, Russia, they're demonizing Russia and demon, and of course the-

whatever the media is doing with Israel and Gaza, where they're pretending like they don't see this genocide because we know why. So that is a component. So there's information, propaganda straight up, Russia is bad, Russia is bad. And then there's the other kind of propaganda, which is the lies by omission, where they never say anything good about Russia if they wanted to. They could tell you some things.

but they won't because that will weaken their case for trying to paint Russia as the actual demon. that's a, know, information warfare is critical. Before you fire the first shot, you need to fight the information war. What about outright political subversion? You know, is that part of the new modern

Warfare arsenal, I would suggest it's been around forever. Political subversion is nothing new, of course. Election rigging and interference. It's just that, you know, it used to be in the old days they'd stick your thumb in the blue ink and that's when they knew you voted. As we move into this digital world, you can manipulate votes that way. So have they? Of course. Election rigging? Yes. Didn't start with Trump. It's been going on for a long, long time. This is nothing new.

Charlie Robinson (27:15.996)
What about bribing government officials and influencers? Yes. Oldest trick in the book, right? When they bring in regulators to regulate corruption, the first thing that gets corrupted are the regulators, as they say. So bribing government officials is part of political subversion, but that's nothing new.

undermining government's legitimacy is something we strive to do on a daily basis here at not just macroaggressions, but activist posts as well. Yeah, undermining government's legitimacy is something that everybody should be working towards, in my opinion. I don't even see that as political subversion. Am I subversive for saying that our government is run by satanic pedophiles? Maybe. I'm also correct, so.

subversive but correct? I don't know. Then we've got social manipulation. And in this new era of warfare, social manipulation is huge. We have this...

Well, we could look at it from a couple of different ways. Let's say you were gonna kick off World War III, and you had a couple of years in advance to prep the groundwork and get people really either fired up and pissed off about a certain thing or softened up and vulnerable. Take a look at the social manipulation that has happened with young men. The toxic masculinity narrative that's been pushed.

I think if you want to get into social engineering, I think that it is not an accident that so many of the young men these days are a bunch of pussies. I think it's been bred into them. I think it's been engineered into them with soy and GMOs and atrazine and...

Charlie Robinson (29:26.732)
All of the, you know, anything that's in vaccines, all the poisons that are in vaccines and everything that's being sprayed on us from above, barium, aluminum, strontium, you know, all of that. I think it all matters. And I think that, I think that if you wanted, if you were truly diabolical, had enough time and access to resources and science, you could basically chemically castrate an entire generation of men. And I think that's what's happened.

soften them up from the inside. Remember, this is modern warfare. This isn't trench warfare. There's no ticking clock. You know what I mean? This is a baseball game, not a football game. We can go for it. We can go as long as we need to. The thing is, most people don't even know the game started. They're at a severe disadvantage for being manipulated socially.

for being manipulated physically too. Let's talk a little bit about this as well. Biological and resource warfare. Get used to it. It's reality. Famine, weather weapons, train derailments, bridge collapse, fires in Malibu, fire in Maui, know, resource warfare. It's happening.

It's happening right now. And if you're not looking for it because you expect it to be airplanes flying in the sky, dropping bombs, that's just not what it's gonna look like these days. And I think that's why people are so confused as to what's going on. Are we in the middle of World War? What is World War III going to look like? My friends, I think we're already in it. When did the war start?

When did it start? Well, that's a little bit tougher to say. Because the psychological operation started on September 11th, 2001. As far as I'm concerned.

Charlie Robinson (31:34.705)
And they were taken, those psychological operations were taken a different direction with Sandy Hook, Boston bombing, both fake events, and expanded globally with COVID-1984. I think that is...

Charlie Robinson (31:58.962)
You know, in my mind, in my, what's my era, but my generation, in my era, in my generation, it started on September 11th, 2001. For others, it happened in 1963, probably, right? But the psychological operations against the American public are happening.

whether we want to say that it started in September of 2001 or whether it really kicked off during COVID, it doesn't ultimately matter. When they write the history books, they'll pick a date and it'll be a lie anyway.

But when you do things...

Charlie Robinson (32:48.997)
We watch this when we watch the American empire do something economic warfare like stealing Russia's 300 billion in foreign exchange reserves. That is economic warfare. Does it classify as, mean, if you had a checklist,

Does that make it World War III? Like, what are you waiting for? I think. I think everybody is waiting for...

Charlie Robinson (33:21.679)
An announcement or something? I don't know. I do know this.

When the bullets start flying, and I mean in an expanded battle, something in Europe happens. Let's just say, God forbid, and I don't want any of this to happen, but in the event that something were to happen in Europe, outside of Ukraine, course, then to false flag, Russia loses their cool, whatever it is.

You know, I...

I wonder if...

Charlie Robinson (34:07.505)
I think that stealing Russia's money was a really bad idea for a variety of reasons. You're in a war against Russia, so-called a proxy war against Russia. You've sent a message to every other country that we will steal your money if you get on the wrong side of us, which is not a good thing to do.

But I watch what the American empire is doing and I say, that's economic warfare. It might not be bullets flying, but you are violating them. What's Israel doing on X? That's information warfare. $7,000 a post and all that stuff. You're in the middle of an information war. Alex was right. We're in the middle of an information war.

Ultimately this, like if you just kind of remember this motto and you can sing it to yourself and maybe hum it in like a really sweet tune so that it doesn't sound as bad, but like just remember the state hates your guts and wants you dead, right? And if you know that, if you truly know that, then a lot of this stuff makes more sense. Let's talk a little bit about war symptoms. This was something that...

You know, if you're experiencing any of these symptoms, ask your doctor if peace might be right for you. If you're feeling a loss of hope, inability to plan for the future. So these are the things, these are the feelings that people have when they're in war, in an actual war. My question is, do you feel any of these things right now? Because if you do, maybe it's because

we're in closer to this war than we think.

Charlie Robinson (36:01.457)
Again, I'm not trying to speak World War III into existence or anything like that. And I'm, you know, less concerned with the classification and more concerned about human beings dying. And that's really the important thing. But I think that when you look at how people behave when they're actually in a war, a physical war, the old version of war, and you look at how people are behaving,

Currently, you can make a case that we're experiencing similar feelings. That inability to plan for the future is an interesting component because...

It's true, if the bombs are falling, you're trying to make it to tomorrow. And depending on where you are, your priorities shift. Widespread dread, do you feel widespread dread? mean, do you feel dread? Is that feeling widespread? I think it is. Not everybody, every day, but overall, do you feel optimistic?

Do you feel like anything is possible? I don't. In some respects. In some respects, I don't. In other respects, it's up to me to make it possible. So I can't have a negative attitude about that stuff and say, that's not. But some...

Do you fear the government?

Charlie Robinson (37:44.239)
I mean, I do. Because I've seen their work. I know what they're capable of. I think anybody who says, don't fear the government is either foolish or arrogant.

Don't live your life in fear, but do not underestimate the state. You have no idea what they're capable of. They will murder your ostriches just because. They will kill your squirrel just because. Okay, so.

I'm not saying live in fear, but if you don't have a healthy amount of fear for your government, then I don't know what you're doing. I don't know what you've been watching.

Do you have, again, we're back to war symptoms here, distrust of authority figures, do you? Yeah.

Yeah, I've had that for a while though, to be fair. This is nothing new. I've been in my own personal World War III. That's it, right? What about increased nationalism? Well, this one's tricky.

Charlie Robinson (39:06.275)
I do think there is an increase in nationalism among the MAGA group. There's not an increase in nationalism with me. I'm not a nationalist. I don't get all weepy about red, white, and blue, and the stars and stripes and all that stuff. But is there an increase in nationalism?

In some areas, yes, and in some areas, no. I would say that the leftists, the Portland, Portlandios, they have, there's no nationalism with them. They hate everybody, right? So they're not gonna be like, if World War, if a hot World War III breaks out, they're not gonna drop their hair color and,

march in protest of America, march in support of America. They're never going to be on board. So they're probably not the best barometer of this. But if you're looking out, I think when you talk about increased nationalism, in my mind, that's the week after 9-11.

where everybody was America, fuck yeah, Pat Tillman, know, all that shit.

We don't have that yet. We're not really there yet. Okay, more on war symptoms. Supply chain disruptions? Well, kind of. We saw it during COVID briefly. We could experience it, but we haven't really.

Charlie Robinson (40:41.753)
Young people avoid starting families. that's not just happening in America, that's happening everywhere. That's most definitely happening. A fear of becoming an enemy of the state.

Well...

Charlie Robinson (41:00.209)
can get put on a government watch list for going to a school board meeting. So yeah, you should have a healthy level of fear for becoming an enemy of the state because we see what the state does to their enemies.

you would be looking for if you were in the middle of a war, and I think about this during COVID, but it's not limited to that, rapid temporary, air quotes, temporary legal changes justified by public safety. Have to wear these masks. Can't come into this house, can't come into this office unless you've been vaccinated. Can't come to work, you have to be vaccinated. Right, so.

Temporary legal changes justified by public safety, you know, for your safety, as they say.

You may be experiencing war symptoms if you are feeling financial stress from inflation. Are you feeling that? Because during World War I and during World War II, the people who were not on the battlefield but were at home participating in the economy, were feeling massive financial stress. socially, there is a feeling of that danger is everywhere.

There's escalating protest. You'll see militarized police. Have we seen escalating protests and militarized police? Yeah, we've seen it at the same event.

Charlie Robinson (42:37.009)
You don't even have to find different footage for that.

Charlie Robinson (42:43.161)
What happens during wartime or the war symptoms, people fleeing their country or thinking about it? How many people are talking about leaving?

where you are. I'm in America. To be fair, people were talking about this in 2016 when Donald Trump was being, in 2020, there's a few wins again, I'm gonna move to the moon, all that shit. So people have wanted to leave for a long time. in terms of...

I would differentiate leaving your country and fleeing your country. People fleeing their country or thinking about it, that is most definitely a sign that war is close or maybe even already here. Thinking you might wanna leave because Donald Trump is the president and he makes you feel all icky inside, that's your own personal Vietnam. That's not ours though. But do you have fear of speaking out?

Do you have a fear of speaking out and losing your rights? Because that is a symptom of war, wartime symptom. One of the things that they did in both of these wars.

with the media, because of course the media is there for different reasons than what we believe. They're not there to inform us about what's actually happened. They're there to manipulate us. But during these wars, they would limit news due to overwhelming negativity. It was just too bad for us to talk about.

Charlie Robinson (44:21.105)
So I don't know if we've gotten there yet, but one of the things that you will most definitely see in a war situation is that one side will use basic needs as weapons, food, energy, money, things like that.

So, know, like how many did you tick? how widespread dread, fear of government, supply chain disruptions, increased national, there's a lot on this list. How's your fifth generation warfare bingo card looking with all of these things? I got militarized police, bingo.

Charlie Robinson (45:05.809)
They talk a little bit about war perspectives too. you know, the, the, I don't know what you want to call it, symbolism of the, the, the five blind men in a room describing an elephant. Have you heard that? Right? Depends on where you are. Depends on what you think. Uh, and depends on, you know, and who you are and what you think depends on

is going to dictate what it is you think you're describing in the aftermath. Your location, your identity, and your circumstances matter in your perspective of what's going on. How are you currently understanding the political, economic, and social direction of your country? Do you understand the direction that your country is going? If you're an American, the answer

is no. No, we don't understand the direction that our country's going. It's very hard to nail down what we're doing. You know, it's way easier in World War II when you could say, well, you see that guy Hitler, he's a bad guy and he's got these armies and they're all filled with bad guys. And we are the good guy. The bad guy is trying to murder everybody and we have to stop him from doing that.

That's easy messaging. You you just run footage of him screaming in German, never providing the subtitles, because God forbid you read the subtitles and realize he was making a lot of sense out there, but you can't do that. You just have to have him screaming like a lunatic in German. then you radicalize everybody and say, that man's putting humans in gas chambers. Well, they didn't say that back then.

That came 30 years later and they told that's fabrication. But you create the enemy.

Charlie Robinson (47:14.255)
You, and it's easy for Germans to understand what they were doing. And it was easy for America to understand how they were going to view the war because here's the bad guy. also what happened in Pearl Harbor, those sneaky Japs, right?

FDR didn't know about that at all. Wink, wink, nod, nod. So in World War II, it's easy to understand the war perspectives to say, we, America, are fighting against those sneaky Japs and that really scary guy with the mustache. That's easy. How would you describe World War III to somebody now, if you're an American? What are we doing? We're out there getting the bad guys. Who are the bad guys?

How are we getting them? Where is the battlefield?

Because we had a battlefield in the Middle East for two decades and it didn't go well. We gave it away to the fucking Taliban in Afghanistan. We destroyed Iraq for a variety of reasons.

Aye!

Charlie Robinson (48:32.229)
I don't know how you look at the current state of America with World War III, and I don't know how you radicalize, energize the base for a war. A war against who? For what? China's gonna take Taiwan. We have to go get them. Okay, why? Iran is gonna destroy Israel.

Okay, have they? No. All right, so we have to get involved in this war? It's tough when there's three wars going on, you've got Iraq, or you've got Ukraine and Russia happening, which is sort of a component of this. You've got Iran in Israel, and then what Israel is doing to all of its neighbors as a potential

point to kick off. You have India, Pakistan. Let's not forget about them. Pakistan has nukes.

India is part of the bricks. So there's a lot of potential here.

Are you accurately calculating the risks for World War III for you? Because the truth is, for most people, they're not gonna be impacted by it. World War I, World War II, in retrospect, if you were in Europe, obviously you were gonna be impacted. But the vast majority of people aren't. So are you accurately calculating the risks? Because there may actually be very little risk.

Charlie Robinson (50:18.641)
to us in terms of a hot war. But that's why you have to think about the other ancillary components of it, like supply chain, things like that. Yeah, it's not your fault, but it becomes your problem, right? So is this war about resources? Is it about religion? Is it about revenge? What is it? How are we gonna get on board with this? We have to have a team. It has to be some sort of narrative for this. I can't just...

I'm not gonna support it anyway, but I'm the consumer. You have to sell me. Sell me on World War III. Pitch me, give me the timeshare presentation on World War III. I wanna hear it.

I don't know what they want us to be angry about. Is it religious? Is it a man? Is it a guy? Is it one religion versus another one? Is it about land?

How involved are the banks? All wars are banker wars. Are you trying to manipulate me into feeling a certain way to support a war so that your banker friends can make more money? Because I'm anti-war. I'm not gonna be supporting any of these wars, but I'm interested in how you sell it. I'm interested to watch the sales pitch for this. I wanna know who's providing the information.

How do they want you to feel about that information? And what are their incentive structures?

Charlie Robinson (51:50.609)
It's a lot of money and war.

There's a lot of reasons people want to get pushed into war. Let's talk about the new, let's wrap up with this, the new faces of war.

Scariest people on the planet.

Charlie Robinson (52:10.117)
These scrawny geeks, Silicon Valley, these tech bros with mullets and munitions, man, I'm worried about this.

Charlie Robinson (52:22.833)
The new face of war guys like Lucky Palmer from Andral, Sam Altman from Open AI, Peter Thiel and Alex Cart from Palantir, Larry Ellison from Oracle. not a, technically a new, the new face of war, it might be a stretch to put Larry Ellison in the new face of war, but here is my technicality. After all the facelifts he's had, technically a new face. So consider that. And Elon Musk.

you know, from Tesla, AKA Cyberdyne Systems. You're just building androids out there that certainly aren't gonna smother you with a pillow in your sleep.

And it's like we have Peter Thiel, who may or may not be the devil himself, talking about how he's going to go on a speaking tour, which is insulting to my intelligence as a public speaker, that Peter Thiel, that mumbling, stuttering, sweaty fuck is charging people to come listen to him speak. And the topic of the conversation, as we've mentioned before, is

the Antichrist. the irony.

Charlie Robinson (53:42.419)
I just got a feeling that the Antichrist wouldn't look like Peter Thiel. I mean, I just, I don't know. Maybe it's Hollywood movies, but in my mind, the Antichrist is way more impressive. He's not sweating profusely on Rogan for three hours and mumbling. He did a three hour conversation, a three hour interview on Rogan. There is a one hour compilation taken from that three hours that is nothing but.

Nothing but Peter Thiel mumbling, stuttering, and umming and awing his way through the interview.

I mean, the new faces of war. It's either Tech Bros or Al Qaeda Jolani in a three-piece suit. You decide. Which one would you like? Which brand of insanity would you like served up? Because that Jolani guy, you guys used to have a $10 million bounty on him because he was a head chopper. Now he's taking pictures next to Donald Trump in the Oval Office. It's all theater. I hope you're enjoying the show.

Charlie Robinson (54:52.562)
Let's look, you know, the interconnectedness of this all makes me worry. When we talk about World War blank.

It's this admission that it's multiple countries. The geography is spread out regionally. But I think, I wonder if maybe these regional wars aren't just part of a much bigger play, a much bigger global war that doesn't have a name yet. It's not branded as such.

Charlie Robinson (55:36.221)
But my fear about a hot war breaking out is anchored in the triggering event for World War I, was the treaties and alliances and things like that. That to me is where you have some problems because legally other countries have to come to your aid and nations are being brought into fights due to treaties and alliances.

I mean, that's just how it happened. That's how things have gone in the past. You have these treaties and alliances specifically for this reason. If I get attacked, you've got to be there to back me up. Doesn't do us any good during peace time. It's easy to keep your promises then. It's what is going to happen when the shit hits the fan and when these people are actually shooting at us. The Bricks Plus is creating issues. There's major issues for that Anglo empire.

the US NATO group. They're having big problems. bricks, original bricks member.

buying Russian oil, having that halted by Trump tariff threats, right? So Trump threatens India and says, you can't be buying Russian oil. And they're like, bitch, we're part of BRICS. We're the eye in BRICS. There they are. And Trump says, yeah, well, you buy oil from them. We'll sanction your ass. And you don't want that. by the way, we'll end the H1B.

visa program too. India goes, oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. We won't buy our Russian oil. Sorry, Russia, we can't buy oil from you, wink, wink. Send the dark fleet. We'll buy from the dark fleet instead, which is them. So we've got, I tell you, BRICS, I don't know how many episodes we've done on that here, more than enough, and I'm sure we'll do some in the future, but you know.

Charlie Robinson (57:42.459)
one of the things that was very strategic that they've done as they expanded. And I'm looking at this from an economic standpoint, but don't kid yourself, economic, military, it's all one deviation away. So as an economic standpoint with the BRICS collecting additional countries into their group, you got energy exporters and you got countries with maritime choke points. And I think that these were not accidental choices.

So economic wise, great. But keep in mind, if this turns into a hot war, a World War III type war, and the air quotes bad guys are the BRICS countries, well, you know, they just, added those, those nations that produce and export a ton of energy. So when you're in the middle of war, you need energy.

One of the reasons why Hitler lost was because he continued on to Moscow instead of heading Southeast into Baku, Azerbaijan to take the oil refineries. Had he taken those, it would have been a different story. You always have to secure your energy. And if you're planning this in advance, you would do things like what BRICS is doing, lock up these energy exporters with maritime choke point locations.

There is a battle for sure happening to secure resources, minerals. Now, is this a component of it? Maybe, maybe, maybe the real war won't be fought over land, but will be fought over rare earth minerals. China's got them. That'd be a place to look.

China does all the refining for rare earth. Probably don't want to get in a hot war with them. They'll turn that off. What about cobalt? You can find that in Africa. What about lithium? You can get that in South America. How about microchips? Asia. What about farmland? USA. So there are minerals, there are assets that you would need to secure in advance of this. Control the water, control the weather.

Charlie Robinson (01:00:11.442)
Control the food, control the people, control the information, control the sense of possibilities. If you've got that, you've got people. The times they are a-changin', especially for war propaganda, we replaced Rosie the Riveter with Roxy the OnlyFans model. Wake up people. The time to prepare for war was yesterday.
