The Article
By now, most of us have a decent grasp of how mass media is weaponized to facilitate the perpetratration of transnational crimes. We see the mainstream media go into lockstep with the same scripted propaganda on a daily basis and we know that we’re living in 5th Generational Warfare (5GW).
We understand that COVID was a multi-trillion-dollar fraud and we can comprehend the enormous marshaling of forces that it must have taken, across many sectors, over several years to pull it off.
We’ve learned that many Woke government policies and financial instruments promoted by BlackRock, Goldman-Sachs, the UN, the WEF, the EU and the Democratic Party, like COVID, the Green New Deal, DEI and the Trans Agenda, etc are actually large scale transnational organized crime operations that are used to launder real estate bank fraud, human-, narcotics-, weapons-trafficking and other rackets.
We recently saw the Panican Op, where high-profile “conservative influencers” revealed themselves to be Globalist Financialist agents, attempting to divide the populist movement – and how they failed miserably – which shows that many Americans are becoming immune to this kind of information warfare.
In this Rich Does Politics podcast, EM Burlingame gives us insight into the mechanics of how narratives are carefully constructed in order to extract trillions from the economy in a flash by means of High Frequency Trading (HFT) algorithms and how online advertising and social media sites mainly exist in order to drive Wall Street HFTs.
EM explains that over 90% of the securities transactions, including financial, insurance and other contracts is directed by predictable information flows. 50% to 70% of Wall Street stock trades are executed via HFTs using automated, pre-programmed trading instructions.
As a result, over the past 20 years, a lot of power has accrued to the data brokers, because the real value of major social media websites is in the data brokerage platforms on their backends.
As EM explains:
“It is the data brokers, the algorithms and the market-matching of advertising that drives all information traffic around the internet.
“Why were the data brokerage systems set up? Well, people think it’s for advertising, right? For AdSense, Google, no, no, no. The reason it was set up is for the financial world, because the reason social media was invested in so heavily and blown up so much is so that we could get an advantage in algorithmic trading, by being able to read some decision-maker and some entities, some organization’s thinking, even at a family post, we can pick up...where was their head at on something?
“And then, we’d have a higher predictability of some decision they were going to make in some business or finance or governance-related thing...
“By 2006, 2007, we were realizing that...we weren’t going to get a computational communications or a software efficiency advantage, anymore over our competitive algorithmic trading platforms…so what we were going to have to do is get even closer to the information to the news cycle…We’re going to have to actually create the news to have an advantage in the financial trading system. And again, in insurance and other types of contracts, etc. We’re going to have to be driving the news.
“OK, How do you do that? Well, you use ad spending to drive certain information around the informational space that decision-makers are going to pick up on and use as their analytics for the decisions they make in some institutions...
“You set that up by the manipulation of the ad spend and the ad buy that drove the data brokers to match certain information with certain websites, certain voices, certain website pages, etc...that are driven by ad spending...
“But how have they been doing that? How do you create this volatility everywhere? You fund, through NGOs, through academic chairs, through government, political stuff – all the wokest stuff, all this other stuff happened and was funded exactly by this mechanism – create the news cycle, push that around, decision-makers make decisions off of that, make tons of money – and we’re talking trillions of dollars off of the movements in the market – fund that whole engine.
“So, it needs a predictable world and it needs a chaotic but induced, predictable chaotic world. Trump comes along – and not just Trump, he’s just one person, right? He’s one person – the whole regime, like Bessent. Bessent knows how this works. He did these things. There are others around Trump and around Bessent that know this stuff very, very, very, very, very well, including the DOGE people.
“And so, what do you have to do? You have to throw truly unpredictable information in there. You have to cut through the mask of civility and get to reality.”
We’ve been living in an artificially-constructed noosphere, where our emotions are harvested for financial gain. EM implies that Donald Trump’s chaotic comms, which are duly reported in the media and that feed into the HFTs are information bombs intended to disrupt the algorithmic rackets of the Financialists and to rob them of their income, so that they can’t keep funding this 5th Generation Warfare that is constantly waged against everybody, with these complex trades. This is in conjunction with actions being taken by others in his administration, like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who worked in this world of Globalist Financialists for decades.
It appears to me that Donald Trump has been fighting 5GW fire with fire with the Alice in Wonderland technique.
EM gets into how the faction in control in Israel and the IRGC, which controls Iran are the same player. He says both were created by the British and the French Empires and he says:
“The French set up Hezbollah…Hezbollah is the investment bank for the Devil's Legions, for all the criminal terrorist stay-behind security assets of the former French and British Empires. And they have a heavy presence in Nigeria. They have a heavy presence in Paraguay. They perform this function all over the world, centered out of Lebanon. It is why we heavily-sanctioned Lebanon's banks.”
Then, he gets into the insidious elements of the international Intelligence Community and how they curate and manipulate the databases used by the Special Operations people, who tend to be highly dedicated, diligent, hardworking and how they unknowingly become subverted by this manipulated data. He says he saw his own reports re-written and altered within these databases.
This reminds me of similar accounts, like that of Federal whistleblower, Jon McGreevey, who claimed that Seth Rich was murdered, not by Hillary Clinton for throwing the 2016 election by leaking to WikiLeaks, as most assumed but by Rod Rosenstein, in order to obtain the thumb drive that Seth wore around his neck, which contained a backup of the DNC server, which had the evidence of how Rosenstein and his crooked allies were spying on members of the DNC and altering documents on the DNC server, in order to blackmail and to control DNC members.
Maybe this is why EM so fervently defends Joe Kent; because he believes that Joe is a good man who’s been manipulated by the CIA and he’s not the subversive John Brennan lackey portrayed by George Webb.
As EM says:
“The only ultimate, real currency that all this illusion is based off of is murder. And your most capable murderers are the guys you must control their information space the most or you might find they're not willing to go do that murder. They're not willing to go do that killing. And therefore, this entire complex thing that you've set up, that you're going to make billions of dollars off of doesn't happen, right?”
In other words, even those in the know don’t know. So much of what is presented and that we take for granted has been shaped by nefarious chaos agents in the Intelligence Community and in the financial world, that if you’re upset about what’s going on, consider giving it up, because you actually have no idea what’s going on!
This is a great, high-level discussion about all of the above and more.
TRANSCRIPT
Crypto Rich: Donald Trump is destroying the Globalist money-making mechanism. What they do is they manipulate our emotions in order to manufacture massive profits for themselves and Trump is breaking that process with his chaotic messaging. That’s what we’re going to talk about in this video.
Hi EM, thank you so much for making yourself available. So, how is Trump’s chaotic messaging, his TRUTHSocial post on Sunday, for example, everything that he puts out, how is that messing up this, how the globalists manipulate us?
EM Burlingame: There’s a great book, well, specifically, vast fortunes are made every day in financial markets and that is made by the more than 90% of trades and transactions on the world’s markets that are done by computers.
So, algorithmic trading, or it’s also called “computational trading” or “computational capital”; so, over 90% of the securities transactions on the markets and the financial contracts that are written, etc., and insurance and other areas is directed by information flows, predictable information flows.
They need volatility, because you have to have volatility for pricing and price difference and risk premiums, etc., but they even need the volatility to be highly-predictable, so that they can make, you know, in the arbitrage, they can make money. We were doing this in algorithmic trading, High-Frequency Trading back in the early 2000s, when I was in the space.
...Where the power has resided increasingly since the early, late 2000s has been in what we call data brokers. And data brokers – and there’s a great book called ‘Chaos Monkey’ – I can’t remember the gentleman’s name, but he sold his company to Twitter that went on to be, he and his partners, he left the company. His company went on to become Twitter’s data brokerage platform, which, you know, sits in the back end or in the “core”, we call it in telecommunications and tech.
He went on to help build Facebook’s data brokerage system. And what are those data brokerage systems? It’s advertisers having certain profiles for ads they want to place that then, what we call “properties”, the “digital properties”, which increasingly is social media, but also websites, etc., that do advertising on their websites.
These advertisers and these properties that have certain attributes and the certain attributes that the advertisers are looking for match. This is happening billions of times a second on the data brokerage platforms, and they’re matching up advertising to advertising spots, little bit of money’s paid, usually pennies, etc...I think there’s 70-plus of these [data brokers] in the world. There’s really about 13, 14 of them that really matter, right?
This is the real value of Twitter for the Twitter owners, right? This is the real value of Facebook for the Facebook owners. It is the data brokers, the algorithms and the market-matching of advertising that drives all information traffic around the internet.
Crypto Rich: EM, can you give me an example of this recent example? I mean, I mentioned Trump’s Easter Sunday post. Would that have had a particular effect? It would disrupt.
EM Burlingame: OK. So now let’s go to the next step.
Why were the data brokerage systems set up? Well, people think it’s for advertising, right? For AdSense, Google, no, no, no. The reason it was set up is for the financial world, because the reason social media was invested in so heavily and blown up so much is so that we could get an advantage in algorithmic trading by being able to read some decision maker and some entities, some organization’s thinking, even at a family post, we can pick up...where was their head at on something? And then, we’d have a higher predictability of some decision they were going to make in some business or finance or governance-related thing and we could then make our computers and traders, etc – and mathematical guys, a lot of physicists – could figure out strategies of...”We behaviorally predict that they’re going to make these decisions. That’s going to impact these stocks, these shares, these financial instruments, this insurance premium, etc. and then, we make a bet on that in one or more markets. OK?
By 2006, 2007, we were realizing that we already realized in the late ‘90s or 2000s that we weren’t going to get a computational communications or a software efficiency advantage, anymore over our competitive algorithmic trading platforms, because they were investing just as much money in hiring the same brilliant people, straight out of university to build their platforms.
So technologically, we weren’t going to get an advantage. We weren’t going to get an advantage in understanding the markets better, because they still had the same 60 years of backtracing. That’s not the right term, but backtesting market data, etc...
So what we were going to have to do is get even closer to the information, you know, to the news cycle. We’re going to have to get closer. Well, there’s only so much you can do there, OK?
When I went back into the military in my early 40s and then, Special Forces in late 2008, we were already talking about, “We’re going to have to actually create the news to have an advantage in the financial trading system. And again, in insurance and other types of contracts, etc. We’re going to have to be driving the news.” OK, How do you do that?
Well, you use ad spending to drive certain information around the informational space that decision-makers are going to pick up on and use as their analytics for the decisions they make in some institutions, some entities, some reports, some whatever, that’s going to move certain securities or financial instruments in certain ways that you’re making a bet on.
You set that up by the manipulation of the ad spend and the ad buy that drove the data brokers to match certain information with certain websites, certain voices, certain, you know, website pages, etc, that use ad spending or that are driven by ad spending in different ways.
OK. 2013, I’m doing targeting. I go into targeting, out in Asia and I start looking at – because I had background in algorithmic High-Frequency Trading and had been an investment analyst – and I start looking at who are we getting approval, who are we getting directed to look at to target? And then, who are we actually getting approvals to target? And just being the kind of guy I am, I started to look at...market correlation.
When I was doing the targeting of the individual and building-out the targeting deck, I also started to look in the markets and think, “OK, so that person’s tied to this entity in one form or fashion, right? Maybe two, three steps removed to this entity in Malaysia, they’re listed in the Singapore Stock Exchange, you know, they’re on the FTSE and they’re on the New York Stock Exchange.”
All those trade at different times around the world, right? Those are three different markets on three fundamentally different time zones. So they trade at different times.
And I started to notice a correlation between who was getting the approvals to be struck and the ways in which they were struck and movements in the markets.
I talked to a friend of mine who helped create the hedge fund industry and the modern private equity industry, but mostly, the hedge fund industry. And that’s what he does. He’s done it for decades. He works on key events in the world: “What are the trading, what are the impacts to various commodities, futures, securities, other financial instruments, tradable financial instruments, etc, related to those types of actions in the world?” And then, he finds the market data that correlates to that.
The point is, is that in order for this system, this data brokerage-driven system to work to drive 90% of securities trading in the world, now it’s 24 hours a day. And a guy I know, Steve Rubinow, who I used to work with back in the late ‘90s, helped create this with New York Stock Exchange, etc. This 24-hour trading.
And then, there’s another guy, Groman, I can’t remember his first name. He’s long since passed away. Anyways, Paul Schrager, some of the other guys.
In order for the whole system to work, they need the predictable volatility and they need volatility everywhere at every level, every scale, 24 hours a day, because their machines are trading on that. And what is that ultimately? It’s like the alchemist’s dream, only you’re not turning lead into gold, you’re turning computation and information flows that you’re manipulating and you’re controlling into returns that then, you cash out in some currency and then you go buy gold, if you want gold.
But how have they been doing that? How do you create this volatility everywhere? You fund, through NGOs, through academic chairs, through government, political stuff – all the wokest stuff, all this other stuff happened and was funded exactly by this mechanism: Create the news cycle, push that around, decision makers make decisions off of that, make tons of money – and we’re talking trillions of dollars off of the movements in the market – fund that whole engine.
But it still needs to operate, it still functions and it’s very sophisticated, ludicrously complex and there’s many players doing it, to include transnational terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and the cartels and others, they’re playing in this space.
In order for that whole complex thing to work, the old structure and system of the world, though needs to be in place. Your major antagonists and protagonists still have to be in place and they still have to have the capacities to operate in certain ways.
Information flows, this mask of civility needs to be there, because that provides that predictability so that this thing you set up, which some of these trades might take six months, might take eight months, ten months to happen, sometimes two years for this thing you were setting in motion to happen. But when it does happen, you make $90 billion, like that, in milliseconds.
So it needs a predictable world and it needs a chaotic but induced, predictable chaotic world. Trump comes along, and not just Trump, he’s just one person, right? He’s one person, the whole regime, like Bessent. Bessent knows how this works. He did these things. There are others around Trump and around Bessent that know this stuff very, very, very, very, very well, including the DOGE people.
And so what do you have to do? You have to throw truly unpredictable information in there. You have to cut through the mask of civility and get to reality.
And then, every once in a while, you have to go smash something, some node; Venezuela, Iran, right? Some major protagonist or antagonist. You’ve got to go smash them but not in the predictable way, where you’re going to do an invasion and you’re going to hold the country and you’re going to spend 20 years, because that’s predictable.
Nope. You just go (gestures slicing his throat).
Crypto Rich: Or like what Trump did in Venezuela. I had no idea. That was a complete surprise. Everybody was like, “He’s going to send troops in. You can’t send troops into Venezuela because of the terrain and the jungle and it’s mountainous and stuff.”
And then he surprises everybody and does this snatch in the matter of a few hours.
EM Burlingame: Putin comes out the other day and says, and forgive me, I’m horrible memory, but basically says that “the whole world is being driven by this pursuit of ludicrous profits.” He’s talking about this system.
He’s talking about this system that he, the Russians, because of their long history, call the “Roman World,” because that’s really what it is. It’s modern Rome, right? This is Rome function. It’s the way Rome built their empire and maintained their empire. Rome didn’t do it off having vast legions. No, no, no, no. They did all of this shit that we’re living. This chaos creation.
Crypto Rich: OK. OK. Let me see if I got this right. I’m going to recreate what you said. There may be shortcuts and slight omissions, but I’m going to simplify it. So I know traders need volatility because if the price was always the same or it only went up and down a little bit, I’m not going to make a lot on it.
I need it. And I know this from the crypto world. I need big swings. Well, not me, but the traders do, right? I just wanted to go up.
OK. So then, what people were doing was getting close to the higher High Frequency algo trading, where they were putting their computers as near as possible to the exchanges where the trading was done. So they’d get that microsecond above their competitors and then they track the news cycle.
So, you know, some prime minister says, “We’re going to go to war,” and then, OK, they can very quickly ride the defense stocks going up. But then, what you’re saying, they soon figured out, “Well, if we made the defense stocks go up and we know they’re going to go up, when they’re going to go up, we can put bets and we can plan this months in advance. So then, it doesn’t look like it’s us.”
So then, how do you get the defense stocks to go up? Well, you spend a lot of money through the advertisers system to plant information into the information, into the sphere or whatever, right? I don’t know whatever it’s called, right? It’s the information space.
EM Burlingame: And to prune away any counter information that might come up by out-ad-spending them, but yep, go ahead.
Crypto Rich: So to create this drive for war, that “There’s going to be a war, there’s going to be a war, there’s going to be a war,” right? And eventually, and you may even along the way, bribe people to say all that, bribe the politicians, right? Or bribe their guards or whatever, or many, right? The entire Congress, for example, or the entire Houses of Parliament just about, right? And then they make, they cash in loads and loads of money. Yes. They make loads and loads of money.
And then, “Oh, well, it’s all going to calm down. There was never ever going to be a war,” or they keep the war going – as in Ukraine is such a grift. It is such a grift.
The war against the Taliban for 20 years. What a grift that was!
So then I think what happens with Ukraine is the money goes from the taxpayers, normally or from the government to Ukraine, possibly, and then back into the pockets of the politicians and all the grifters along the way and the contractors and the defense companies and Zelenskyy’s lifestyle.
EM Burlingame: It goes into the markets and then, there’s various constituents who participated to get some fraction of what that portfolio is in the markets.
Crypto Rich: Yeah, everybody gets their cut.
EM Burlingame: It’s the same thing with, yeah, everybody gets their cut. This is why the insider trading is allowed. See, they don’t get a direct cut, but they get to participate in this trade, this sequence of trades that were set up ahead of time.
And then, they play their small part by not regulating and by feeding the information cycle so that that sequence of trades happens. And then again – because we don’t want graft or anything, we don’t want corruption – they don’t get to participate in the money that was channeled off, although some of that happens back through nonprofits, etc. – look at the Clinton Foundation. What they do, though, is they get to ride along and put some of their own money in.
Crypto Rich: Right. Because they know where it’s going to go.
EM Burlingame: Because they know where it’s going to go.
Crypto Rich: This probably explains how come – because all the while, I thought Nancy Pelosi was just a genius investor. This incredible financial acumen and ability to read charts and stuff and know the wind – the way the wind was blowing. And then –
EM Burlingame: You all got a lot of them there, too. Starmer and Khan and, you know, Sadiq and all these people, they made their fortunes this way.
Crypto Rich: Yeah, because they share information with each other.
EM Burlingame: Well, and they also did their things on the inside of the government to make sure that these complex movements in the world continued.
That the necessary steps and countermeasures and because this isn’t a monolith, these massive financial institutions are competing with one another. They are at war with one another. They are all trying to get an advantage.
So it’s not like they’re all collaborating. Sometimes they’re – because there’s only so much money you can take from the people and they’ve been maximizing that, you know, through the markets, 401ks, pension fund wipeouts, all of that.
Most of how you take money from the people is tax the next four generations with something you’re doing today. That’s how they get most of that.
The rest of the money they’re making is they’re screwing some other financial organization or organizations who participate in the financial industry, in the securities, financial instruments, insurance, etc.
They’re screwing them out of money. So they’re all fighting and competing with one another. And there was – I can’t remember the name of it – there was a 13 or 14 different countries, Israel’s involved, US involved, France, England, Germany, I think, and some others who did a war game about. If one of these entities gained an unfair, you know, one of these financial institutions or one of a major nation state or one of the transnational organizations, that’s got trillions of dollars of disposable income, right, or wealth decided they wanted to disrupt everything, how would they use the markets to do it?
And people can look it up. I can’t remember what it is, but it was how would you manipulate or control the algorithm High Frequency Trading system? And it was rather frightening how effective it is with all this system and structure and infrastructure that’s been put in place over the last 25 years, 26 years, 27 years.
How easy it is to bring $50 billion, $100 billion, $300 billion out of the markets if you want to. Just by using all of this mechanism and it’s all fake money, it’s all artificial, none of it’s real, but it is, when you take it out and you use it to spend, to pay murder-for-hire, to bribe a judge, to, you know, whatever.
Crypto Rich: Buy gold, buy it, buy assets, buy a port somewhere or an airport or something.
EM Burlingame: Or as Roxane talks about, buy huge collections of art that is ludicrously overpriced; have it sit in a port that’s in a “free free port zone” and never goes. And now, you have three billion dollars in art that you’ll never see, the valuation of which is all ludicrous, because the only reason there’s value is that because the last guy bought it $200 million so he can get the write off and you bought it for $250M, because you’re all playing the game.
Crypto Rich: OK, now there’s another bit you mentioned earlier, and I’m trying to get that the NGOs. So the NGOs become part of the cycle of infecting the information space.
I mean, the climate, the climate change – because everybody knows that photosynthesis is dangerous for the planet, because you don’t want too much carbon dioxide feeding plants and growing plants, right? Because they want to kill us off.
So but the Photosynthesis Deniers, they make a lot of money through, I suppose, the Green Party and all the NGOs that promote photosynthesis.
EM Burlingame: No, they make money. They make money off of the markets, too.
Crypto Rich: Yeah. But what I’m saying, it drives the conversation and it’s another way of manipulating the information space, that these traders, these financialists can profit off.
EM Burlingame: So, in the old world, your first son went into the title, the estate, and your second and third sons, one went into the military and one went into the priesthood.
Today, the first son goes into investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, and the second or third son goes either into government, politics, policy, et cetera, or law.
Most of them is law because that’s all law. And the other one goes into nonprofit space.
Crypto Rich: Wow. Wow. Jeez. What a scam that is.
EM Burlingame: And all of it’s funded by this control of the information space. What is happening with America right now, I don’t want to say Trump, but what’s happening with those who are in the position of power in America right now, they are blowing that up by dropping information bombs.
And sometimes those information bombs are quite literally bombs.
Crypto Rich: For example - ?
EM Burlingame: Iran, the way in which we’re doing it, what did we just do? We just dramatically disrupted energy flows and we didn’t do it by invading the country and setting up 20 years of graft of another $10 trillion in tax debt.
Nope. We went in, beheaded some snakes. We’re going to go behead some more snakes and it’ll all be over. And what’s happening now, what does that do? Think about that on the trading platforms, on the financial markets, it regularizes.
I think Tom and Ben Keller talked about this. Tom Luongo and Ben Keller talked about this yesterday or the other day. What does it do? It reduces some of that volatility. In fact, it reduces a substantive amount of that volatility.
And then, what does that do? That reduction of volatility robs these non-state financialist actors of their income and now they can’t keep funding this information warfare, this 5th-Gen warfare that’s waged against everybody all the time, that they’re doing specifically to set up complex trades.
Crypto Rich: OK. Just on that, one of the things that I think is happening, it’s already happened, is that the US gets to control the marginal price of oil.
EM Burlingame: Well, I want to be careful, there. The market is still the market.
And there are things happening in the world. But what happens is America has the ability, in cahoots with Russia and China – otherwise this wouldn’t be happening – but ARC has the ability to ensure that there is actual price discovery, real price discovery, and not manipulated pricing in the markets.
And how do you do that? You have to take out these chaos-inducing nodes, so that you have more regularized pricing in the market. Real, no-shit, economically-based pricing in the markets and not this ludicrously deep and rich manipulative pricing,
Crypto Rich: OK. Now, I’ve seen a little bit of stuff about the IRGC and how Iran was a node in this financial manipulation but I don’t understand it and how it was and how Trump’s breaking that.
EM Burlingame: Yeah, so it’s the Straits of Hormuz very simply. And it’s the amount of the world’s oil that transits through the Straits of Hormuz and how much it costs.
You know, what is the vig, right, to use a mafia term, how much is the vig for each tanker of oil that goes out? Because every time there’s one of these chokepoints in the world, one of these chaos points, you have chaos premium added to the price of moving that oil. If you can remove the chaos pricing, that oil goes down in cost. The producers do OK, still, because they’re basically roughly getting the same cost for oil.
You know, they’re getting it out of the ground and initially producing as if they’s about the same. But all of the shipping movement transit costs come down so that the end user can pay a lower price.
And that does two things. One, it substantively improves baseline fundamental economics because they’re not being manipulated by the manipulation of the logistics cost and risk premiums to the movement of inputs. And then, of course, outputs, because that still uses oil.
The other thing is, is that all of these chaos agents who make money off of the manipulation, off of the chokepoint chaos are robbed of their revenues.
Well, those are the very ones trying to bring about, you know, the One World Government and the totalitarian system and all this nonsense, which even they know doesn’t work, but they don’t care, because it pisses us off and keeps us from focusing on where the real war is. And that’s finance. It’s always been finance. It’s always been capital flows.
From the beginning of, you know, from the beginning of cities and towns and ways in which we organized ourselves, where we had to figure out pricing between the different ways in which we contribute to the whole. Because you do one thing, I do another thing.
How do we know when we’re going to go do something? What the pricing is, you know, the relative eigenvalue, or not eigenvalue, the, oh, I can’t remember the, there’s a form of mathematics. Forgive me. I can’t remember.
It is off the top of my head right now. Gosh, I really should. But there’s a form of mathematics where you can work out complicated relativistic pricing between disparate systems, right? Numeric values between disparate systems.
I can’t remember it right now. Gosh, upsets me. I love this form of math.
But that’s the point, right? The point is what are markets? Markets are supposed to be, as Adam Smith talked about in ‘The Theory of Moral Sentiments’ and then the ‘Wealth of Nations,’ what is the market? The market is the way for which we humans value our contributions, one to, you know, one the other, one to many, etc.
How do we know that we are properly participating in this greater thing that we’re doing when we’re using pricing costs, cost differentials, etc in order to value that? Which again, as Adam Smith said in ‘The Theory of Moral Sentiments’ first, which people have to read first to even understand what he was saying in ‘Wealth of Nations’, what we’ve been able to determine, through thousands of years is that the best way for us to work out this relative value of one to the other is through our contributions.
But in order to do that, we have to have some shared medium by which we do the pricing. So, OK, that’s brilliant. It’s one of the most extraordinary things humans have ever, ever devised. However, it has some weaknesses. And one of the major weaknesses is chaos agents and their ability to get into certain areas and certain aspects, like a virus, just like a virus, and introduce chaos, that then they have the mechanisms to, you know, they’re adding their forced pricing into the market by creating chaos.
It’s the mob. They create chaos, and then, you’re going to pay them a vig so that you don’t have more chaos.
Crypto Rich: Yeah. I’m reminded of two things. So one in January of 2020, large players sold their stock of many, many companies that they owned and then Rishi Sunak had a big investment in Moderna through his hedge fund or something, long before lockdowns came. So they were putting themselves in place, right? And they were setting up for this chaos, in preparation to make a lot of money and they create the chaos.
OK. The thing that I can’t get my head around is how is it specific to the IRGC and to the state of Israel in the Middle East? Are the IRGC playing the market? Are they acting on behalf of somebody else?
EM Burlingame: Yes. They are the chaos agents, but they play it, too on their own. So does Israel.
So, what people really need to understand is that the faction in control in Israel and the IRGC, which is the control faction in Iran, are the same player. They’re not two separate entities.
Now on the face of it, they’re separate, but they’re the same entity. They are the same chaos agent in that part of the world, both created by France and England. Well, not England, forgive me, my beloved England, but the British Empire and the French Empire.
Crypto Rich: No, I can get that because I don’t know who it was I did a video with recently. And I do such great videos. I should subscribe to my own channel, EM.
EM Burlingame: You wouldn’t have time to go through all that great content and keep creating it. That’s right. That would be a bit of a challenge, right? All these great guests I have like you and Roxane and many, many others.
Crypto Rich: The IRGC were connected to CIA, going back to Iran-Contra.
EM Burlingame: But before that, what we have to understand is that –
Crypto Rich: But just that, for example, because that’s a matter of public records. Oh my God, the CIA is selling arms. And then I know Hamas was set up by Israel and Netanyahu was paying them $30 million a month through Qatar. So then, it begs the question, just like what you said, who are Hamas working for? And it says the same entity.
EM Burlingame: Same entity. Now let me give you another one. The French set up Hezbollah.
Crypto Rich: OK. I didn’t know that. The French set up Hezbollah.
EM Burlingame: So look at the history of Lebanon. Also, look at what Hezbollah actually does globally. They have a huge presence down in Paraguay, Central America, South America.
Crypto Rich: OK. I didn’t know that. All this stuff.
EM Burlingame: And in Africa.
Crypto Rich: All this stuff that you and others have talked about. Hezbollah being involved in the drug cartel and everything. I don’t know about, right? I haven’t heard it.
Now here’s one of the reasons why I’m good. A little plug. I did this fabulous video with Roxane where she went through how it’s the intelligence agencies that own the entire mainstream media or they run it or they influence it. So then they get to say what’s in the information space, because then a lot of people, including independent bloggers, like myself and many others rely on what comes out of the mainstream media.
EM Burlingame: Yeah. So I watched that this morning. Brilliant. Right? Yeah.
So Hezbollah is the investment bank for the Devil’s Legions, for all the criminal terrorist stay-behind security assets of the former French and British empire. And they have a heavy presence in Nigeria. They have a heavy presence in Paraguay. They perform this function all over the world, centered out of Lebanon. It is why we heavily-sanctioned Lebanon’s banks.
Crypto Rich: OK. How do you know this? How come? Where is this from? Where’s your reference? Come on. It’s not in the Guardian, so I don’t know if it’s true.
EM Burlingame: I used to do a certain kind of work, counter-terrorism work and threat finance, in particular.
Crypto Rich: OK. And people can look these things up. In your circles, it’s established.
EM Burlingame: It’s well, it’s not necessarily established, because again, unfortunately, most in my circles – OK – so, to your comment, right? About the conversation you and Roxane had.
There is another, even far more insidious CIA intelligence community. Let’s just say intelligence community writ large, because it’s not just the CIA. The CIA is the child-of [MI6], right? So the intelligence community has another way in which they seed everything that’s even more insidious and even more destructive.
And that is the intelligence to the Special Operations community. And now, you have Special Operations people, many, most of them, virtually all of them, but not all, who are genuinely dedicated, diligent, hardworking people who are out, acting upon intelligence that comes from a very limited number of databases, all of which are controlled by the intelligence community. Even though we –
Crypto Rich: By Special Ops, you mean SAS, SBS. Delta Force.
EM Burlingame: All of us. Navy SEALs, Delta Force. Right? The Germans, the French, all of us. Particularly though, in the context that I know specifically, the Five Eyes, right? The old Commonwealth, the old Empire, right? But it also includes the Indians, the Pakistanis, right? All of us.
We are all operating under information. So, the way in which the media gets controlled and the check and balance is that first, they manipulate the shared databases from which we who interface, we do the work with and interface with, and are adjacent to, and often are in the same operations, are actually the one doing the operation. The intel that we are using is heavily, heavily, heavily curated.
Heavily. To such a point, that I may or may not have written something on an operation somewhere and gone back in a couple of years later to find that same report in a certain system I won’t mention, and found that what I had written had actually been rewritten. And I’m not the only one.
So, the way in which this is far more – and oh, by the way, again – I started looking at all this 2013, when I was still operational. And for me, again, having been an investment analyst and a High Frequency Trading system designer and all that stuff in my earlier days, before I went into Special Forces and having always kind of maintained awareness of the markets, I saw the correlations.
Well, when you have that kind of awareness and you take a step back, as an operational guy, and you start looking at the things that we’re doing around the world in the context of the markets and market movements, it’s so starkly obvious, it blows your mind.
All of the stuff that’s done with the mainstream media is to distract the normies and to give the, you know, the apparatchiks the cover that they need to do what they need to do to keep this whole thing going. The real manipulation, the real information narrative manipulation that’s happening is against the operators. Because they’re earnest, they’re honest, they’re hardworking, they’re truth-seeking.
You manipulate their reality, you control their reality, and you control all reality. Why? Because ultimately the only real currency is murder. The most powerful murder is government-sanctioned murder in the form of war, in the form of a, you know, DevGru or CAG operation, or even CIF or other operation.
But the only ultimate real currency that all this illusion is based off of is murder. And your most capable murderers are the guys you must control their information space the most. Or you might find they’re not willing to go do that murder. They’re not willing to go do that killing. And therefore, this entire complex thing that you’ve set up, that you’re going to make billions of dollars off of doesn’t happen. Right?
Crypto Rich: So you could, we could end up with a situation where Special Ops are using information that’s limited, possibly inaccurate, manipulated, have them attack say a group that are actually acting in opposition to say Hezbollah or a drug cartel or some other chaos agent that the Financialists are relying on in order to make money off the volatility.
EM Burlingame: I’ll give you another example. I’ll give you another example, the cartels: Some cartel leader gets a little too full of himself or he’s tired and he’s losing the control over the cartels, which is, you know, the money-makers for, you know, the liquidity guys for the intelligence and Praetorian system. Right? Well, you take him off the field. You either kill him or you arrest him and extradite him to a nice, comfortable prison for retirement in the United States.
Why’d we do that operation? Why would the guys that are actually – boots-on-the-ground that, you know, the guy’s doing, 0 Dark 30 sh¡t – why did we do that?
Why that guy? Why not that other guy that’s actually moving 3,000 humans a month or a year or whatever, you know? Why are we doing that? Why aren’t we taking out human networks? We could be doing that.
Because the intention was to really use Special Operations guys and, and elite law enforcement too, by the way, cause we, there’s some crossover there in training and all that, right?
But if we were really intent on using our elites to dismantle the system, we would have dismantled the system. The system would never have come into being.
Well, how do you do that with men who are very earnest? And I know a lot of them. You have to deceive them. And how do you deceive them? They don’t pay attention to the news and all that. Now, maybe they’ll get emotional, but that’s not what they act on.
You do it by manipulating the intelligence. And anytime anybody who was involved in an operation realized something, you kill him or you discredit him.
And I wonder what’s happening with this gentleman who earned the Victorian Cross in Australia. Yes, it’s obvious that the government’s going after him and trying to try him for war crimes and all of this, but why, exactly? It isn’t as simple as it’s, I can’t remember his name.
Crypto Rich: It’s happening right now.
EM Burlingame: Yeah, it’s happening right now. They just arrested him at the airport the other day. And they’ve been setting this thing up for five years. They were, they had billboards in Afghanistan that some journalist was funding billboards in Afghanistan, asking for people to come forward to give information about war crimes that this guy committed. And now they’re rolling him up. So why are they doing that?
That’s not as obvious as “The government is just trying to take down their top warfighter.” No, this is a message to somebody; to some group of us, right?
So what people need to understand is that yes, Mockingbird’s absolutely real, but Mockingbird only works because the Special Operations community, particularly, and elite law enforcement, particularly, are deceived. And how are we deceived? We are deceived, because at the core of all the intelligence that we operate from is the Five Eyes.
Crypto Rich: OK. And then, Trump has stopped sharing information with the other four eyes.
EM Burlingame: And I almost guarantee you that, through Tulsi and legal means, we’re also stovepiping information within our own intelligence.
Crypto Rich: OK. OK. So then, got to be really, really careful to defeat this system. And at the same time, be incredibly Brutal and Blunt and Chaotic, which is BBC. Brutal, Blunt and Chaotic.
EM Burlingame: I thought it was a different BBC at this point, because there aren’t white people left in England, but we’re going to just leave it at that.
Crypto Rich: I just thought of another BBC, but that’s not safe for work (laughs).
EM Burlingame: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let’s not go down that pathway. We’re not going there, right?
Crypto Rich: OK. Alright. So then you got to manage them really carefully. And then they end up, these special ops guys end up working for Hezbollah.
EM Burlingame: Yes. Unknowingly, unintentionally.
Crypto Rich: Unknowingly, unintentionally. Now, I want to go back to, you said Hezbollah are very big in Paraguay. What on Earth are they doing in Paraguay? Lebanon’s over here. Paraguay’s in the middle of South American Continent.
EM Burlingame: What’s the main resource that moves in and around South and Central America?
Crypto Rich: Would it be cocaine?
EM Burlingame: Drugs and humans.
Crypto Rich: Drugs and humans.
EM Burlingame: How do you launder that money?
Crypto Rich: Through the banking system.
EM Burlingame: How do you do that? Hezbollah.
Crypto Rich: OK. OK. So who’s…
EM Burlingame: Also, you provide extortion, you know, all the other normal mafia stuff as well. But yeah, go ahead.
Crypto Rich: So who sent Hezbollah to Paraguay and started using them? And what are their connections with them?
EM Burlingame: Bank of England.
Crypto Rich: Sorry?
EM Burlingame: Lebanon. It went through Lebanon.
Crypto Rich: Went through Lebanon.
EM Burlingame: The Lebanese community. It’s 30,000, I think, roughly Lebanese. But who set all that up 100 years ago? You know, starting with the Muslim Brotherhood, etc? France and Britain.
Crypto Rich: OK. And then they’ve got…
EM Burlingame: And it all goes back to Sykes-Picot and the other things around what was happening with the Sykes-Picot.
Sykes-Picot was just, you know, the division, etc. But around that was a lot of industrial stuff, a lot of banking stuff, a lot of financial stuff, a lot of Devil’s Legion’s assets being spun-up, security assets that were being left behind in these different countries that were created; obligations, relationships, all of it.
Crypto Rich: But then Hezbollah, they use the Lebanese banks or the banking system. You said the Lebanese banks have been sanctioned.
EM Burlingame: They’ve been, yeah, so what do they do?
Crypto Rich: Who sanctioned them?
EM Burlingame: Well, the big banks did. The big banks used our governments to sanction the Lebanese banks, because they didn’t want the Lebanese banks to get a cut.
Crypto Rich: OK. Gangsters. “That’s our vig.”
EM Burlingame: That’s our vig. And your little thumbnail – which, I love Lebanon, by the way, I’ve spent time there. I love Lebanese people – but, “Your a little thumbnail country, right? You don’t get a cut.”
A minor family, in the mafia phrase, right? The mafia term. “You’re a minor family.” Yeah, sorry. Go ahead.
Crypto Rich: OK, and then I’m trying to work out how the IRGC link into this.
EM Burlingame: All the same.
Crypto Rich: Also, the Mullah branch of the Iranian regime, including Ayatollah Mojtada Khomeini, with his hundreds of millions of real estate in London. He’s probably not the only one. So how do you do this?
EM Burlingame: This goes back to the Irish, The Troubles, right? What do you do? You create a terrorist organization. You create a security apparatus, an intelligence security apparatus that’s fighting the terrorist organization.
And then, out of that, at some point, when that seems real and people bought into it, you spin out a political faction that is against this, that is the counter, Sinn Féin. However, it’s not actually against it. In fact, it’s the same people who started – the whole thing’s a setup. The whole thing is a setup.
And then, what you do… they break away, the political party, they get into power. They’re “against the terrorist stuff”. And then what do you do? They’re in notional power. And then, you take some of these assets, some of these security, anti-terrorist, etc, assets, and you make them their security. And they get rid of the terrorism. That all goes away.
The whole thing, though, is a setup. And why are the security guys there? Well, they’re the real power, because they’re doing murder – the only currency – and they’re there to make sure that that breakaway political party doesn’t gain any real power and doesn’t have the ability to actually change the control and power structure.
More importantly: doesn’t have the capacity to come together with the people and throw off this thing. Because sometimes, regimes get a conscience and when they do – or a cartel leader, somebody else – and when they do, you got to take them out.
So you have to make sure that their security is always owned by you. The “Praetorian Problem”.
Crypto Rich: OK. Bukele in El Salvador, as a government that got a conscience, could that be it?
EM Burlingame: I think it’s a government that got a conscience that got backed by us. The beginning. That was the beginning. That was the demonstration of “Here’s what you can do when you are willing to crack down hard on corrupt judges, corrupt prosecutors, corrupt defense attorneys on the criminal organizations.”
This is setting up what we’re going to do in the United States and I hope there, in the United Kingdom, once we get all this World War III sh¡t off the table and we get energy flows freed-up and we let the markets price and we get people, you know, the chaos agents, volatility capabilities out of the markets.
I think that little country down there was used as the primary example, because of MS-13 and how they were all over the world and how they run that country, etc, is using the example of what can be created when You, the People, back your leaders to go hard against crime.
Because we’re going to have to do that here, in the United States specifically. And we’re going to have to do things that are going to make a lot of f@cking purple-haired Karens cry. And a lot of fancy people at their cocktail parties out in f@cking Long Island.
Crypto Rich: And it’s going to twist the head of social worker types, I’ll tell you that, EM.
EM Burlingame: Well, there’s that whole NGO industry around, you know, the detritus and the chaos created by criminal organizations and rampant crime. There’s a whole other – again, second and third sons, right? One goes into the military or into government, politics and the other one goes, or “the law”, as you say, it’s better. And the other one goes into NGOs, nonprofits. That’s a whole vast industry for wealthy people that’s going to get wiped-out.
So now what are you going to do with your sh¡tty little third f@cking son who grew up rich? What are you going to do with them? What are we going to do with these excess elites that now can’t do all this f@ckery out there?
Don’t think they’re going to go away. Don’t think they’re going to suddenly become productive citizens or good people.
Crypto Rich: Absolutely fascinating. Mind-blowing stuff.
EM Burlingame: Now, some of them are good people, by the way, forgive me, I want to be careful. There is a lot of people in the nonprofit space that are good-hearted people. They’re legitimate people, including the kids, the rich families, I don’t want to be, I don’t want to…
Crypto Rich: But they’re part of a much larger system that operates that’s abusive. A bit like, I suppose, the Special Ops people. Those are good, patriotic, genuine people, but they’re being manipulated by a system.
EM Burlingame: Correct. Correct.
Crypto Rich: Like teachers, for example, they go in because they want to do the best for the kids, but there you go.
OK. OK. I want to go to the ceasefire then, that’s been negotiated right now. We’re recording this on Wednesday, the 8th of April, 9PM UK time, right now. And it seems to me, the US and Iran have got this agreement with each other.
Israel’s out to violate the agreement and cause chaos, because that’s how the financialists profit and it benefits the City of London. So they’re going to keep breaking it. But I think Iran is going to smack Israel down again, which just perpetuates the chaos.
EM Burlingame: No, one has to wonder what targets is Iran actually striking and which faction and who’s really in control? And we don’t know that exactly, yet. But I have articulated this for a couple of years now. I don’t know if Israel survives, as it is. I don’t know.
See, Iran is a very old culture, very influential in that part of the world. You know, and something I think you or somebody else said earlier today, or Roxane did, but Iran is the Persians and they’ve been there for thousands of years and unbroken and they are, their influence extends all the way across the Stans, all over the region, etc and that’s a very, very different thing than Israel.
And we need to remember that when Israel was broken apart, it was actually two, it was Israel and Judea. So even back then, it would have been broken into two. So this concept and idea of a “single unified Israel” is not something that historically has been existent for very long or for very long in a period of time.
Crypto Rich: Right. Like, say, the city of Amsterdam, which grew up organically and is of the soil, there versus, say, Dubai or Doha. Concrete and glass does not a city make.
EM Burlingame: Correct. Correct. Correct. And if you look at the peoples, the Arab peoples and their actual culture, even though they have these big towers and everything else, and I’ve spent time there, got good friends, some very old families, they’re still very much Nomadic Life.
Their anchoring’s to their culture, to their families, to the region – I don’t mean the big overall region, but the region where their tribal families traditionally have resided – the conflicts that they’ve had, etc. So, not even they are anchored to these cities, to these big skyscrapers and everything else.
Some of the best times I’ve ever had there, we would go to somebody’s house and they’re ludicrously wealthy and they have a nice but a modest home, but then they’ll take you out on a vehicle and move out in the dunes somewhere and they’ll have another little private little place on some little oasis that’s been in their family for 300 years or, you know, in their tribe, not so much their family, but they’ve been in their tribe or there’s another little community out somewhere.
And that’s when you know that that tribe, that family has really welcomed you and, you know, really sees you.
Crypto Rich: I get it, because they’re tied to the land. They got their culture and they’re homogeneous. Like the Thani tribe in Qatar. Whereas with Israel, you’ve got these people all over from all over the place, different traditions, different languages – behaving like sh¡ts – actually with a government that behaves like sh¡ts.
EM Burlingame: The government. Well, because it was established specifically to be, you know, the counter, you know, they were specifically designed to be the “
Red Ants” to the IRGC – what would become the IRGC Persian “Black Ants”.
Crypto Rich: OK. So then now how does Israel bombing Southern Lebanon tie into this other than it’s just creating more chaos.
EM Burlingame: It’s just chaos. It’s just chaos.
Crypto Rich: And then how is Trump defeating all this chaos?
EM Burlingame: There’s a certain amount of you just don’t respond. You don’t react, unless it goes above a certain threshold.
But when – you know this from your work – when a child’s having a tantrum, sometimes you got to just let that tantrum burn down. When, sometimes a child or one of the parents or some other party is intentionally causing conflict and strife, you don’t take that on. You don’t respond to it. You don’t feed it because you’re there in this rage strike-out, try-to-dominate, take-the-conversation mode.
Now, if they move to really genuinely harm you, you intercede. But when somebody’s in this acting-out mode, because they’re trying to take over or hijack the conversation, there’s just only so much you do.
You don’t want to give them any more value than they actually have, because then, you’re just feeding their insanity, their chaos-production.
Crypto Rich: OK. And then, what I do see is happening, as a result of this Iran war, there’s lots of outcomes that I would have welcomed – that I would have always welcomed:
The no more US bases in the Middle East, that’s no longer viable. The destruction of or the dismemberment of NATO. The weakening of the Israeli regime and the exposure of Israel, that it’s a safe place for Jewish people as a complete fraud.
But Iran has also been weakened.
EM Burlingame: Yes. And what factions with not Iran, actually, but factions within Iran have been highlighted, identified and weakened.
Crypto Rich: Right. The IRGC faction. OK. And then Russia and China – ?
EM Burlingame: They are making sure nobody else gets involved.
Crypto Rich: OK, EM. Say a little bit more about that.
EM Burlingame: I’ll use a bar fight example, because it’s what I know the best. When the security is in a fight with somebody in a bar, other members of the security team, make sure that nobody else joins the fight.
Because then, it has the likelihood of get out of control. I can’t get involved in that fight because tempers are going and things are going and that’s between them, that’s they’re handling it. I’m staying out, but I’m going to make sure that nobody else gets in that fight. That’s how we get World War Three.
Crypto Rich: Yeah. So Russia and China making sure none of the Gulf States or Turkey or Azerbaijan, for example, get involved.
EM Burlingame: Including factions within England, within Britain, factions within the Commonwealth, factions – the Pakistanis, others, factions within the French, etc. They’re just making sure that you stay out of this.
And they’re not just doing it physically, it’s also financially, financial assets, business assets, so much that people don’t see because they’re focused on military stuff. But everything that we’re seeing military is, at most 10% of what’s actually happening.
Discussions, conversations, threats, you know, movements. Like, the real way you bring the powers that be in Israel and in broader Israel and in Tehran to bear is you let those people know “We’re either going to kill you and or we’re going to impoverish you and your family, because most of your wealth is outside your country in our system, in the Russian system, Chinese system are ours or the sphere of influence that we have substantive say over.”
This is why Stalmer is rushing to the f@cking Middle East right now, is to try and give them confidence that all their wealth in the Spider’s Web is safe, that the United Kingdom won’t move against their f@cking wealth in the Spider’s Web.
Crypto Rich: OK, EM. Bloody Hell.
EM Burlingame: Yes, it is a bloody Hell.
Crypto Rich: It is a bloody hell, right? But I meant like “Bloody Hell, thank you for boggling my mind,” right? Really, really appreciate it. It’s so great talking to you. So great talking to you and I just learned so much from you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
If you learn loads or you learn something new out of this video, put a comment “Bloody Hell” in the comments – but you got to do it. You got to do an apostrophe instead of the H, right? “Bloody ‘Ell,” OK, in a sort of English accent, if you can, yeah. So I really, really appreciate it.
Please hype this video, subscribe, like, comment, all that business. EM will be back and my mind will be boggled and I can’t wait. Thank you so much.
