op trying. So you have to figure that over some amount of time eventually our system would be owned by bad actors. It's almost guaranteed. We have a system that money buys too much. If you can buy influence with money of course the system is rigged. How could it not be? Maybe not in an illegal way. It could be that the rigging is just owning the news sources. All you would need to rig an election…

s point about it is accurate directionally. The only thing that needs a tweak here is that it wasn't created by Chinese scientists. It already existed but they do have it in the lab. So it sounds worse if you think they created it. It sounds less worse if you know they're studying it to try to avoid it as a problem which would be rational. But we don't trust anything coming out of China so who knows what's true.

I'm talking about the fact that Biden met with Larry Fink at BlackRock in 2019 when Biden was deciding whether to run. And so the story goes that BlackRock gave, we got the 34 minute glitch yeah great. And the story goes we don't know what happened in the meeting of course unless we were there but reportedly BlackRock gave a positive you know we're here to help kind of message. Biden took it as a green light and went.

Now the interesting part because everything is connected to everything else is that BlackRock had a big financial interest in Ukraine. And there was talk that this is the speculative part where I can't tell you what's true. I can only tell you what people are asserting is the most likely true thing. So the assertion is that the whole effort with BlackRock was to get Russia out of the energy business and get the United States big companies into the energy business in Europe. Not only so Putin didn't have you know financial leverage on Europe but also so American companies could make a whole lot of money. Because it turns out if they could have that business instead of Russia it's an enormous amount of money.

So BlackRock would be sort of favoring Biden. Biden would favor defending Ukraine if America could continue owning Ukraine like it tried to because America was behind the you know the whole current situation there. That there would be a reason for American companies to rape Ukraine of its resources for many years to come and it would be good for America. And then also the politicians in America could go wet their beak in big old corrupt Ukraine and make big amounts of money and nobody would know.

So the allegation is that Ukraine was always a big old money grabbing situation. It was money grabbing to take business away from Russia which has a strategic advantage of course but also money grabbing to insert American companies and probably politicians in there in the dirtiest most corrupt place in the world where they could all get rich at our expense and Ukraine's expense especially.

So I don't know if that's an accurate description of it but it sure sounds like it. How many of you would say that sounds to you like the most accurate description? And by the way this appears to have been going on forever. Yeah I see in the comments I don't think this is a brand new situation. I think this is the way America has operated for forever.

And then further Mike Benz talks about the color revolutions. Do you know how many countries the United States has overthrown with secret coups and what they call a color revolution where you get all the people to protest until the government changes? I think there's over 40. Yeah 40 or more. And we're watching the same technique now. This is Mike Benz's insight. We're watching the Democrats put together the same technique in America to make sure that the

Republicans have no power going forward. So it's basically the idea is that the protests are all already being set up in case Trump wins and that there will literally be a coup in which they're trying to get the military to ignore Trump, get the protesters to take over the street and essentially run a coup should Trump win. And I you know this is one of those allegations where I don't know it's a…
