finance and liberty dot-com and with us today is Rob Kirby or Kirby analytics Rob thank you so much for joining us today pleasure to be with you later all right well I first like to discuss the situation with regard to North Korea now there it seems like there's growing tensions between the u.s. and North Korea on Sunday North Korea tested a missile that failed blowing up pretty much immediately after it launched and now Trump is saying North Korea has to behave China should intervene and if China doesn't the u.s. along with its allies will and also North Korea is saying that it will continue testing missiles on a weekly and monthly and yearly basis so what is your perspective with about the growing tensions with regard to the u.s. and North Korea well I don't necessarily view tensions between the u.s. and North Korea I don't necessarily view them in isolation because I think they're connected to the tensions between the US and Russia with regards to events that are have occurred in Syria and I look at I look at these things in a cumulative fashion and I look at the rising geopolitical tensions where we seem to have the potential for a very large-scale war heating up on the back of the stove while in my view on the front of the stove we have a deteriorating global financial situation and there's an old axiom regarding the globalists or regarding the monetary elites is when monetary systems fail they take us to war and it sure seems to me that our financial system could be in danger of failing literally at any time now and it may be triggered with the with the surprisingly tremendous result in in French elections it could be eat something that comes a little bit further down the road with a stuff in Italy or it could could be Istanbul even possibly in Germany and it seems to me that there the globalists or the the elitist seem to be keeping or want to have a potential for a very large conflict ready to bring up to a very hot hot state on a moment's notice so that's the way I view these things and in my view nothing happens by by accident there are no coincidences and it just seems to me that what what Trump has done in the last couple weeks at least in my view is everything that he campaigned against during his a surprise electoral run that's really interesting how you're saying that basically everything that Trump campaigned on it seems like these were reversing on a lot of his positions what specific positions is he doing that with well with regards to foreign interventions he ran on a platform where he he was very much against foreign interventions he was he seemed at least to me to be extremely well well on record saying that he he wanted to claim that the Chinese were currency manipulators so we've seen him say that now he's not going to do that he seemed very anti the Federal Reserve and Janet Yellen and specifically he seems he seems to maybe be positioning himself now to give her a pass and conceivably reen Amin aid her for another term as fed chairwoman and then this whole whole notion of foreign entanglement just to me it just it's got a bad odor to it and it just seems to me that Trump and his agenda may be maybe Trump has had a moment where he's you know really smelled coffee and real and realized that he's not going to be able to fulfill his agenda as he had so well articulated during campaign and you know I'm I look at it from the standpoint he's basically been able to get nobody of his choosing into key positions around him his current choice for national security adviser which is I guess it's now it's McMaster but I mean it was first that was Flynn he was gone quickly he allegedly then if my if my reading was correct he then offered it to two or three other people who turned him down and he ends up with McMaster who seems to me to be somewhat of a neocon whether he's a neocon and sheep's clothing or not I don't know but he seems to he seems to have run his campaign on an anti neocon platform and he seems to have an awful lot of neo-cons now around him in very key positions now previous sentence would have had you on the show you were saying that the election of Trump setback to globalism at least 50 years if not just completely ended the move towards globalism what is your current view it with you know Trump's changing views and also his inability to be an actual anti-establishment or non neocon conservative into his cabinet well I'll say this much he did deliver on the on the pre trade front where he killed the the trans-pacific partnership that that encouraged me and that alone has certainly set the let's just say the globalist agenda back in an end to and unto itself and we have we have we have elections coming up in Europe where where the where the globalist agenda could could be further damaged within Twitter without whatever Trump may do in the near future but but I will say I am conflicted with with what with what he's done regarding the foreigner the foreign entanglements it's it certainly sticks out and it bothers me and you know it's also a testament to the notion that the neo cons don't go away quietly and they're very very unwilling to admit defeat so let's let's just see and monitor closely how things progress over the next two or three weeks hopefully we don't end up in a much bigger and wider war what is your perspective I asked you about the North Korean situation what is your perspective on the situation between the US and Russia regarding Syria obviously the situation is not something to laugh at but I just find it a little bit amusing how the media was talking about just a few weeks ago this you know how Trump loved Russia and everything and now kind of the whole narrative is switched hell you know the US and Russia are in such bad relations right now what is the perspective on this whole situation between the US and Russia and the situation with Syria right now well there there are certain people in the alternative realm who believe that the Russian US appearance of not being on the same page in Syria may have some Machiavellian overtones to it in that this this may have been a brokered deal where where a trump could could appear to be standing up to Putin and Russia by launching these missiles but you know but do note that he gave apparently gave Putin the two-hour you know notice that these attacks were coming from what I've read and pictures I've seen it would appear that the airport that allegedly was damaged really doesn't seem to have much damage at all because aircraft were taking off from it and returning to it the very next day after the supposed brutal 59 Tomahawk missile strike on it but this whole this whole narrative about the about the chemical attack in Syria doesn't seem to really the pieces of it don't seem to really fit together very well and in saying that the attack was allegedly a sarin attack and we did see pictures and we were shown pictures by the mainstream media of dead babies and people handling supposed casualties of this sarin attack and it's it's well known by people who understand the nature of nerve agents that you would never you would never send in first responders without them having effectively hazmat suits on to handle the aftermath of the sarin gas attack and lo and behold the pictures show that the responders were wearing you know we're handling supposed sarin casualties and sarin victims with their bare hands and without protective covering so there's a lot of aspects of this whole issue that that don't really add up correctly so are you suggesting the attacks then were hoaxed or what are you suggesting here well I'm suggesting that the the way the victims were handled would be more indicative possibly of a chlorine attack some sort of a chlorine or makeshift chlorine bomb attack and and quite possibly not a sarin attack and and if this was really a chlorine attack yeah you also have to ask yourself and it's been brought up by people in the alternative press what exactly did Assad have to gain by conducting a gas attack on on his own people when he was clearly you know within arm's reach of defeating Isis in in that part of the world and he certainly had the upper hand so there's the question of you know who benefits you know all I'm saying is it's alleged that Assad was behind a gas attack hey they're saying it was a sarin attack and then the and the footprint that we've seen in the aftermath doesn't look like a sarin attack at all and then you have to also ask you know who benefits from it will certainly not Assad and and it seems to me that the only people that do benefit from it are the are the Isis people who happen to be the people or the whole Isis movement is a creation of the anglo-american you know military-industrial complex and that's whose arms and and supported the given them logistical support so there's some big questions there and there's also been reports which which have been alleged in the alternative press that this that this so-called gas attack may well have been conducted by a drone coming from a base in Jordan possibly where where Saudi and Mossad operatives are known to operate from so there's a bit of a dog's breakfast regarding this whole issue and it seems to me there was there was an extreme rush to lay blame when a little bit of investigation might have been in order surrounding this whole event so you were saying the Trump's reaction to this and this whole idea that the US and Russia are now you know on bad relations with each other you think that's all pretty much theater yeah I'm saying the possibility that it's theater it it resonates with me in that it may have been an effort on the part of Trump to try and get the left-leaning Democrats and and and globalist alike off his back and and to try and quell the narrative that he was a Russian operative by orchestrating something where he is shown to be hypothetically attacking Russia a Russian interest so yeah no it's not lost on me and would I put it past them to do it you know I don't know it would be an interesting chapter in the book the art of the deal wouldn't it definitely and I'd like to get back to something you were saying earlier how financial crises lead to war did you want to expand on that why in your opinion do financial crises lead to war oh well it's it's it's because it really amounts to deflecting blame when when people who are in control of the money who who have installed a very unstable monetary regime which fiat money is because money by its very design it's designed to fail and if you go back to the to the creator of our current Fiat monetary régime john maynard keynes when questioned back in the days of the Bretton Woods Agreement where we went on to basically a Fiat money standard albeit with a link to gold you know academics argued with Keynes and said your system by its very design is guaranteed to end in failure and disaster and to which Keynes responded or he's attributed to have responded so it doesn't really matter because in the long run were all dead anyway well you know that seems to be the the operative mantra of the globalists who have created these monetary flimsy monetary regimes in the past when their monetary regimes fail they take people to war so they can blame the failure of their of their monetary largesse they can blame it they can blame that they can blame it all on the war and they can absolve themselves of having had any handed and it's a way and it's also all the way in the current construct the the whole globalist movement at it's very core elijah is a huge NX based movement in saying that it's it's long been written by globalists that their belief is that the true the true sustainable population for a planet is something in the magnitude of 500 million people today were over seven billion people on the planet and you know and that means they want to effectively off six-and-a-half billion people to be true to their to their to their writings and their cause and it's my view anyway that the globalists are this whole idea of getting rid of people or preventing us from multiplying is is very likely the rationale behind GMO food you know and look and look at who the biggest supporters of GMO food are and look at who the biggest investors are in Monsanto who is the creator of so much of our GMO food or GMO seed and you know Bill Gates is a huge huge globalist that he's a major major investor in in Monsanto and you know there there have been there have been tests done and this is not this is not hype and this is not you know this is not fanciful thinking on my part but they conducted tests where they've taken taken rats and fed them GMO food for 90 days and they and they end up with a completely sterile animal you know how many generations is it going to take you know before the human population has been considered consuming all those GMO food this which which which in my view is a sterilant you know when are we going to become sterile and all I'm saying is this whole this whole observable inputs are consistent with with the narrative that the globalists are anti human and eugenics base and the idea of putting putting the world in a position where we could have a very very large-scale hot war would possibly with weapons of mass destruction being used in very large numbers would also seem to fit with their with their you know stated goals that they want the population of the planet reduced dramatically so you know from that standpoint I you know I I think it's I think we all have good reason to be concerned and worried yes globalist globalist initiated a lot of what we're seeing right now now I asked viewers to submit questions and this first viewers question is dealing with the topic of trance foreign policy so I thought we'd discuss this one first Tom Gilmore is wanting to know what is your opinion with regard to Trump's foreign policy is Trump playing his opposition publicly and privately negotiating peaceful resolutions with other seemingly adversarial world powers what is the geopolitical significance of North Korea's actions to begin with Trump's perceived or apparent foreign policy initiatives of the last two weeks are in direct contradiction to everything he ran on at least in my view the the minor exception to the that possibly from a Machiavellian perspective maybe maybe that a deal was brokered with Russia with regards to having the appearance of acting tough in Syria to get the Russian Russia phobes off his back who've been claiming that he is basically a Russian agent his actions in North Korea apply in the face at least in my view of everything he campaigned on where where he where he claimed that you know he was not going to be seeking foreign entanglements and you know I did this this really raises my eyebrows and makes me concerned I don't know how else to say it submit to me I think he's what I think he let his base down and conducting his actions and his and his stance towards North Korea no the same viewer has a follow-up question what about Trump's stance with respect to the Clintons because he was saying you know throughout the campaign that he was going to you know reopen the investigation into Clinton's private email server it seems like he's just completely ignored that and he said that the Clintons are good people so why are the Clintons walking free he asks oh I don't believe that that's the case at all the last words that I heard out of his mouth regarding Hillary Clinton what was that you know I think he's more or less thrown it into the lap of Jeff Sessions suggesting that you know if there's sufficient evidence then then I wash my hands with them I mean ultimately I don't think Trump wants to be seen as being the force behind taking down Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation but I certainly don't think he's going to create any roadblocks to just that very thing happening all right moving on here this viewer asks is there a move by Russia and China to eliminate the petro dollar and what is your perspective on that I do think there is a move to have the dollars position as the world's reserve currency diminished if not eliminated on the part of Russia and China I think this is demonstrated in their heavy liquidation of US government securities and the reserve accounts and the fact that they are basically doing by ladder we'll trade deals with numerous countries that supply a strategic and critical commodities to them they're doing bilateral trade deals where they exclude the dollar from settlement and they conduct the trade on a bilateral basis with countries and and current currencies other than dollars and we've seen this for instance with with China and Iran doing doing oil deals where they're not using the dollar as the settlement currency and we're seeing this between heck for that reason we're seeing it between China the counterparties like China Brazil Russia Venezuela I believe South Korea just a house two countries are now doing trade without conducting the trade in dollars and you know historically dating back to the beginning of Bretton Woods anyway virtually all international commodity trades were settled in dollars and and increasingly they are not being jeffrey morris from england is wanting to know in what ways if any will brexit impact the London bullion market Association the paper gold versus physical trading in London compared to other precious metals trading hubs around the world what big impact is brexit going to have on the London bullion market Association that's that's a probably a pretty good question and I don't even know if I have the best answer for it other than to say eh I know that China has invested heavily if not taken out the LME the London metals exchange and with with China's influence continuing to grow in the precious metals space and in saying that I do so because China and Russia and India probably to a slightly lesser extent have been the have been the predominant buyers and creating the most demand physical precious metal as opposed to paper precious metal and you know as China continues to demand more and more physical metal the the LBMA becomes more and more suspect or possibility of having some sort of a cathartic or or cardiac event because the vast majority of what trades on the LBMA is paper contracts even though it's called the physical market the vast majority of its trade is still in unallocated paper paper contracts for precious metal and the amount the amount of paper trade that goes on in in London and the LBMA is is mind-blowing in its own right and you know as as China continues to demand more and more physical metal the likelihood that this paper charade continues diminishes it's somewhat in my view all right well the last question I was going to ask you was with regard to gold and silver manipulation because a lot of viewers were wanting to know you know when is the manipulation going to end I was going to ask you where the manipulation stands now and if you think there are any signs that it could be ending soon well to me the signposts to me the signposts that the financial system is in is in peril and and when I say the financial system being in peril a an inability and inability of the financial elites to quell physical demand for precious metal would signify basically the demise of our current financial edifice and the fact that we have a rising geopolitical backdrop with with the potential for hot war seeming to being warmed up to higher and higher heat on the back of the stove tells me we could be getting extremely close to a conceivable default by some of these paper charade markets where precious metal is promised in in blinding amounts I mean I can speak directly to it just by saying it seems to me currently the real Achilles or kryptonite metal to the to the elitists is probably silver and I look at the build it just in the Konex open interest in silver contracts the open interest on Comex alone is now well through a billion ounces of silver and you know so so we effectively have paper selling of more silver on one exchange namely the Comex in New York then gets mind go to the earth in a year you know there's no other commodity in the commodities spectrum where that would be allowed or tolerated because there there is commodities law that that prohibits excessive selling of things that don't exist and the fact the fact that the Comex and the regulator's that govern the Comex the CFTC the fact that they've allowed the open interest in silver to become well through a billion ounces you see people are selling people are selling silver that a does not exist and I would argue that will never exist and the this this gets into this gets into pretty heady territory where we're at some point somebody's going to stand up and say this is all a big charade so I look for I look for somewhere down the road we're going to see we're going to see defaults whether whether whether suppliers refuse to honor honor contracts referencing the LBMA price or whether whether the whether the whether the existing benchmarks that serve as guideposts as to where institutional amounts of metal trade place or trade hands I look for some sort of a calamity but it isn't it interesting we have we have this geopolitical backdrop eating up just just as the volumes going up on the possibility of a monetary calamity so I like it you know it sort of brings us back to where we started you know it's no coincidence that these things are happening simultaneously well Rob Kirby thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights before we let you go did you want to share with the viewers any last thoughts you had and where they can find you online well you can find me online too Kirby Analects calm and I might sound like a broken record but I think that anybody who is got their head screwed on right
