The Implications of China Brokering a Deal With Saudi Arabia and Iran
"So Iran and Saudi Arabia are enemies. It's important to emphasize that Iran and Saudi Arabia are some people think, well, there are both Muslims and so obviously they're not enemies well. Actually, no. First of all, the Saudis are Arabs. The Iranians are not. Number two, there is huge rivalry for who gets to be top dog in the Middle East. The rivalry is between the important countries in the region really namely three. Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has by and large been in the American orbit. It's been our ally and Iran has been our adversary, at least since the Khomeini revolution of the late 1970s. So what does it mean that these two adversaries that had no diplomatic relations with each other? They weren't talking to each other, are now coming together and they're coming together in important ways. They're going to open up diplomatic relations so that means embassies and Iranian embassy in Saudi Arabia, Saudi embassy in Iran, they're also going to begin a trade partnership in a technology partnership while respecting quote the principle of non interference in the internal affairs of state. So the Saudis are not going to try to foment dissent in Iran and the Iranians are agreeing not to do the same in Saudi Arabia. Now this deal was brokered by China, apparently with some help of Oman and one or two other of the Arab kingdoms, but the meanings that led to this were held in Beijing and there was a so called I'm now looking at it here joint trilateral statement by the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the People's Republic of China.

Keys: Everything You Need to Know
"What are public and private keys? So when you're encrypting a message, what you have to do is you have to scramble the message and lock it up so that nobody can read it. And then you have to unlock it, and you have to have a key to do that. This is true if you want to send a message in the real world or you want to send something securely, you know, you put it if you want to lock it into a box, the person who receives it needs to have the key to unlock it. And you need to have the lock that specifically opens with their key. Well, whitfield diffie and Martin hellman in I think it's like 1970 four 76 maybe. I don't know. 1970s. Published new directions in cryptography in which they unveiled the public private key scheme. Which is essentially the mathematical equivalent of that of that relationship. One is a key and one is a lock. The public one is the lock. And now just so you know, this analogy isn't perfect. There are some very specific things and quirks of public and private keys that make the analogy really kind of only the way that you interact with them. Because they are math based, well, you can do some other mathematical tricks that you can't do with a physical lock. So there's limitations to any analogy, right? But I still think particularly in the way they are used in Bitcoin unless you're interested in cryptography and all the ins and outs. The best way to think of them is your public key is your lock and your private key is your key. It is your master key. And the magic of this is that when you post your public key, when you post your lock, digital lock online somewhere, well then anybody can just take your lock and lock up a message. Lock up transaction details, lock up, bank account information, or just establish it, establishing a connection to a server. You can lock it up so that only that other person can access it.

We Are Living Through a National Demoralization Strategy
"Living through a national demoralization strategy. It is not a mistake. It is by design. Former KGB informant and spy Yuri Bezmenov did a series of interviews in the 1970s and 80s, educating the west on what the communists and the marxists did in other countries and were trying to do in America. He said it is a four step move. We've played these tapes before. All of you should be familiar with this. But one of them is the intentional demoralization of a once strong country, play cut one 48. It's a great brainwashing process, which goes very slow and it's divided in four basic stages. The first one being demoralization, it takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize the nation. Why that many years, because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxism leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students. Without being challenged or conquered by the basic values of americanism, American patriotism. The result the result you can see, most of the people who graduated in 60s dropouts or half baked intellectuals are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, educational system. You are stuck with them. A national demoralization campaign. It is not a byproduct. It is the goal.

California Then vs. Now: Two Separate Countries
"California's reparations panel is pushing for the state's legislature. Did you know that California? People who only know how to destroy. To think of California when I moved here as a young man in the 1970s and to think of it today. Is to think of two separate countries, civilizations. They have ruined this paradisical place. Yes, Paradise had serpents, remember that. Paradisical does not suggest perfect. But they've ruined it. So now there's a reparations panel. There is no end. To what the left will push for. No end. People thought that when same sex marriage was approved, the most radical redefinition of marriage in history, that the left would say, okay, we really, we've achieved our goal, and we will now leave the sexual arena. But they never do. The next battle is to celebrate. That's what gay pride excuse me, LGBTQI plus pride is about, celebrating. You will celebrate people who change sexes, or who believe they have changed sexes. You will celebrate or you're a hater. That's why it's called gay pride, not gay acceptance not gay tolerance. Pride is an achievement to change sexes. Don't you take pride in achievement? Is it an achievement to be gay?

Caller: How Do You Stand up to People Who Don't Care to Listen?
"My question to you is how do you fight back stand up against a group of people that doesn't care what your opinion is, they don't want to hear what you have to say, what they say goes. How do you stand up against that? Well, it's hard. It's certainly not easy, Joe, but you've got to, you know, for example, here in Memphis with the city council about to consider changing the name of park. You got to get down to city council meeting. You got to write your name down so you can get up and have your say before the city council. And Joe, I'm just I'm a believer that if you speak truth to the culture, it is going to make a difference. It may not be right away, but it is going to make a difference and you've got somebody has to stand up and correct these outright lies. And that's what happened here. Nobody bothered to do that. Right. Well, I'm with you. I mean, you know, you and I are the same age. We were raised in the same time period and we've got many of the same beliefs. I'm with you. I'm just fed up with all this. It's just ridiculous. And Joe I bet, just like me and I grew up in north Mississippi right across the state line from Memphis. I grew up from grade one. I had my first grade teacher, a black lady. We had integrated classrooms and I would bet beyond a shadow of a doubt that you had the same situation in your schools growing up. And yet there are people today that would have you believe that back in the 1970s there were people still in slavery in the south. Correct. And I'm also a firm believer in the racist thoughts. You aren't racist unless you're taught that and raised that because as I was growing up, we were taught to care about everybody we accepted everybody. Racist thought. It didn't even cross our minds. We had black friends and family that we grew up with and still to this day.

It’s so Much Easier to Destroy Than to Create
"Things going well, I'm back at the home studio in the police state of Southern California of California. I'm in the free state of Florida. It's actually difficult to go back, and it's difficult emotionally for me to even say that to you because when I moved to California, in my 20s and the 1970s, I felt I was moving to the best place in America. Just three and open and beautiful, everything, and the left is ruined California, just as it ruins everything it touches. There is no exception to it. I'll give you a little example of the difference between the left and conservatism. By accident, I spilled an ice coffee about 20 minutes ago.

What Is the WEF? Michael O'Fallon Explains
"And Michael O'Fallon, welcome back to the program. Good to be here. Thanks, Charlie. So we're going to talk about the World Economic Forum in Davos all throughout this hour. Michael, I think it would be helpful for you to kind of walk our audience through what is the World Economic Forum. You have participated in these type of globalist gatherings. You've had a kind of a first hand, let's just say experience, who are they? What are they trying to achieve? What are their motives? Well, back in the 19 60s and early 1970s, you had this push to try to start a revolution. When it wasn't able to be sparked, you had folks such as really Deutsche and others that looked back to gramsci and as well erbert Marcus that basically said, what you really need to have is a long march through the institutions. If you're going to have a communist revolution, if you're going to have a neo communist revolution that we're experiencing today or a neo communal fascist in viral communal fascist revolution, you're going to want to have a whole of participation of all society. There can not be one organization or pillar that does not participate in the revolution. So you need to make sure that you're integrating yourself within corporations. You have to integrate yourself within governments. You have to integrate yourself within faith. You have to integrate yourself within culture and the media and so forth to ensure that you have a pathway to be able to infuse the rest of the world really with the critical concepts that you have that mean that you need to destruct what was out with the old culture and in with a new culture as you transform. Our world and western civilization into the vision that you have for the future, which

The Exponential Trend Line on the Gold Price
"So here we are with our gold price curve. Again, we've looked at this so much. Don't think I need to go over the history of the last 50 years. You have the timeline there. You can check prior videos. If you're interested, but here we have the interest rates going up to 22% during the Volcker years kind of pricking the gold bubble in the United States and gold being priced here in dollars and floating freely for the first time since bretton Woods collapsed ten years prior. Gold actually peaked at about $850 an ounce for about two seconds and then in 1980 and then in December of 1980. Paul Volcker took interest rates to 22%. And then from here we had a falling interest rate period all during this period, the great moderation it was called some people called it the end of history at certain times. We had the Soviet Union ended the Berlin Wall fell. All sorts of great things for freedom, but this also happened during a falling interest rate environment, which is quite different from now. And then of course we have the global financial crisis and then gold popping back up in price. First and 2011. And again, in recent years, during COVID. So the current price as of a few days ago, December 31st, 2022, $1812 per Troy, ounce. And again, remember way back in August 1971, when many economists thought that gold would go to zero, gold was a deep pegging, the brenton Woods agreement was falling apart, the Nixon shock, the Smithsonian agreement ended. Even though they still statutorily have a value for gold on the books in the United States, there is nothing tying the dollar to gold. On the books of the United States, nor anywhere else in the world for that matter. And that all ended in the early 1970s. And then we had gold pretty much for the first time floating freely in the market. In the last 50 years.

How Did People Stay Effortlessly Thin in Past Decades?
"I don't spend a lot of time on health websites, well, to be honest, I don't spend any time on health websites, my health guru is Deborah, Deborah, as soon as they're right here. But in any event, I saw this really interesting item, which includes a picture of people on the beach. Now this is Gold Coast Australia 1972. But the meme that accomplished companies it is, how were people effortlessly thin in the 1950s and 1960s. And even the 1970s. And the word that caught my attention was effortlessly. Now the writer goes on to say that people in the past, and this is the recent past. I mean, obviously within our lifetime, he says they didn't do crazy diets. They didn't have any calorie counting apps. They didn't have to fast. They didn't even have a gym membership. And they even ate dessert. So the question is, here we are in our society now. Struggling to manage weight and figure out how to get thinner. And he goes, this wasn't really a fight. This wasn't a struggle. People didn't have to like go to heroic lengths. It seemed to happen naturally. Now, he goes on to point out that people, in those days, again, we're talking about the recent past, 8 food cooked from scratch. I think that's an important factor. They ate food that they made. They ate full fat. They ate out only as a treat. So this is actually a cultural shift that people would go out to eat, you know, a couple times a month, but this idea of eating out every three days or multiple times a week, this is new. They didn't eat foods with long ingredient lists. So this is also a phenomenon of our time. You look at the box and it's got all this stuff in the food. So there's an interesting graph here showing the obesity of the United States. And the United States was, as a society, not obese, the turning point was a 1980, and then starting in 1980 you see rising obesity. It's leveled off slightly in the last few years. But by and large Americans have added on a lot of pounds in the decades from 1980 to the present. And so the writer says, what happened? Well, U.S. dietary guidelines got introduced, the food industry created a multitude of low fat products, huge increase in refined grains, added sugar, increase of additives and pesticides, and societal norms changed to eating out. So people eat out a lot more. And he goes on to make the point that writer does that people now eat out, well, some people eat out for pleasure. We do W and I eat out a lot. But people also eat because they're sad or from boredom. And he goes on the point that they're never full because the protein and the nutrients have sometimes been removed from the from the food supply.

Dinesh Wonders Whether Paul Ehrlich Ever Gets Tired of Being Wrong?
"What is Paul Ehrlich's need for illusion? The illusion that he's always been chasing is the apocalyptic idea that the world is coming to an end. It's never coming to an end because of one particular thing. In other words, in the 70s, it's this in the 80s, it's that in the 90s it's something else, but the conclusion is always the same. The world is coming to an end. And sure enough, on January 1st, 2023, there was Paul Ehrlich on CBS News of 60 minutes and he had a very important message for all of us. You guessed it. The world is coming to an end. Coming to an end right now. I mean, imminently. Let's quote him. He goes, we are on the cusp of a quote 6th mass extinction. And that quote, the next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization where used to. Oh man, this is troubling stuff. It would be even more troubling if we didn't think about the fact that in 1968. Paul Ehrlich published his book the population bomb. In which he was predicting that as a result of global population increase quote, but here's the first line. The battle to feed all of humanity is over. He says in the 1970s, the world will undergo mass feminine. Hundreds of millions of people are going to die. The world death rate is going to go up. Now, I was there. You may or may not have been there, but this did not, in fact, happen. But Ehrlich is unchastened. He's gone on and you think a guy would be like, oh my gosh, I said something unbelievably stupid. Everyone alive knows it was nonsense, and he would back off. No. Between 1970 and now Ehrlich has made multiple predictions all pointing in the same direction. It's basically call it ringing the apocalypse alarm bell. And so he's predicting mass starvation, ecological Armageddon, of course he's all over the climate change issue. this has ever come to pass.

They think inflation is the primary concern. They explicitly recognize that there's going to need to be increases in unemployment to contain inflation. They recognize the say of labor market developments as a kind of super core measure of inflation. They're showing awareness of the fact that the neutral interest rate is a real interest rate concept rather than a nominal interest rate concept. They're recognizing that the tradeoff is not between unemployment and inflation, but between unemployment and the level of entrenched in inflation. These are the kinds of points that I've been stressing on your show. For the past 18 months and I think I'm gratified to see that they now are increasingly representing orthodoxy. I think it's interesting that the fed is indicating a commitment to tighter policies, more focus on resisting inflation than the market is expecting. They will carry through a lot.

Dinesh Reflects on Money Manager Ken Fisher’s 2023 Forecast
"We're in a new year, of course. And the question is both for the country and for you and me. What is this you're going to look like financially. I'm talking about the economic prospects. The financial prospects for 2023. Now, the general view is pretty negative that we should be looking for a spiral of inflation and higher prices, but at the same time, economic stagnation, and that's a problematic combination, right? That's in fact reminiscent of the very late 1970s, kind of the Jimmy Carter era stagflation and certainly in terms of economics and the stock market. Doldrums. And so that is one outlook. But I don't want you to think it's the only outlook and I just read an article. This was in the New York Post, but it may be a syndicated article. It's written by a prominent money manager. His name is Ken Fisher. By the way, Ken Fisher has had a very successful column in Forbes for many years. And basically Ken Fisher says, no, no, it's not 1974. It's not 1976. It's actually 1967, and what he means by that is that in the 1960s, we had a similar environment in which inflation appeared to be galloping out of control. There appeared to be a certain degree of political turmoil and everyone thought that the stock market was going to go flat. Or even go into go into a regression. But such can Fisher, the stock market, in fact, had a stunning rally instead, it went against expectation. And catfishers point is that very often markets do this. In other words, markets operate, not just based upon what the economy looks like, but also what people expect.

So I wanted to just ask you a little bit about your story and what inspired you to pursue political theory. Oh, sure. Okay. I guess I've always been interested in politics. I mean, my first political memories go back to the 1968 election when I would have been about 11 or 12 years old, I guess. Which end the late 60s were very anarchic time in American politics, very conflict ridden time. And so somehow or another I got the bug for politics and history back then. And then when I was in high school, I started reading political theory. I mean, I guess I was inspired partly by national review and sort of the conservative literature at the time that I was reading. But even more so, I think by a couple of my teachers in high school who were very good and very knowledgeable about American politics and about American history. And then I went to school. I went to college. I went to Harvard. I had a very good time in the 1970s when Harvey Mansfield, who my teacher, my main teacher, who still there teaching at age 90, this is his final year of teaching, however, but still it's been an amazing run.

By the mid 1970s, it was clear to western policymakers and especially to bank president Robert McNamara, that the only way poor countries would be able to pay back their debt was with more debt. The IMF had always paired its lending with structural adjustment before its first few decades, the bank would give projects specific or sector specific loans with no additional conditions attached. This changed during McNamara's tenure, as less specific structural adjustment loans became popular, and then even dominant at the bank during the 1980s. The reason was simple enough. Bank workers had a lot more money to lend out. And it was easier to give away large sums of money if the money was not tied up to specific projects. As payer notes, twice as many dollars per staff week of work could be dispersed through structural adjustment loans. The borrowers, Hancock says, couldn't be happier. Corrupt ministers of finance and dictatorial presidents from Asia, Africa and Latin America tripped over their own expensive footwear in their unseemly haste to get adjusted.

For them, structural adjustment was like a dream come true. No sacrifices were demanded of them personally. All they had to do amazing but true was screw the poor. Beyond general use structural adjustment loans, the other way to spin large amounts of money was to finance massive individual projects. These would become known as white elephants, and their carcasses still dot the deserts, mountains, and forests of the developing world. These behemoths were notorious for their human and environmental devastation. A good example would be the $1 billion inga dams. Built in Zaire in 1972, whose bank funded architects, electrified the exploitation of the mineral rich katanga province.

It was the least comfortable in the back seat. So that's why part of why Jeep is doing the recon. As a distinctly different vehicle, it's still going to have the off road capabilities of a Wrangler. But it is designed to be more amenable to families. Even though it's got a similar overall footprint to the Wrangler. So a couple of other things that came up in the chat. Somebody asked about turning the ASUS amigo into an EV. Frankly, I would not recommend that. To be honest, I would not recommend the ASUS amigo under any circumstances. The best thing to do with it isuzu amigo is just to park it and walk away. There's lots of reasons for that. But also, somebody mentioned the 57 Chevy as an EV. And actually, this is something that you could do. Increasingly, we are seeing manufacturers offering retrofit kits through their performance parts divisions for a long time. They've offered great engines. Which is basically a full engine in a box. That you can get. GM, for example, offers great engines of different varieties of their small block V8s and some of their other engines. You can order these and get it with a wiring harness and everything and you can drop it into all kinds of different vehicles. Similarly, Ford does the same thing. Over the last couple of years, they have started to offer electric crate motors. So in the case of GM, they are offering a kit that is basically the battery pack. The electric motor and the power electronics from the Chevy bolt as a kit and they've done a couple of concepts that they've shown at the annual sema show in Las Vegas, the specialty equipment manufacturers association. And last year, I think they did a mid 1970s Chevy blazer that they converted with this kit. And forget what the one they did the year before was. You could take this and you can package this in a lot of different ways. So you can do this. You can convert something like a vintage Chevy 57 Chevy into an EV. Because the motors are so small, the toughest challenge is actually going to be just packaging the battery pack. But there are ways to do this that is going to get increasingly easier in the coming years. I think we'll be seeing manufacturers putting together a lot more of these types of conversion kits that you can use in different vehicles.

She says it often took more than four months for charges to be filed before she took office. Victims were left to wait, which is, to me, a miscarriage of justice. Her predecessor Pete Holmes had developed a reputation for being soft on crime, Davison was elected in large part due to her promises to change that.

For their contributions in the field of conducting polymers, we don't mind sheer kawa and heger were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in the year 2000. Now let's look at tragedy to a safer industry. Notable industrial accidents occurred in the mid 1970s through the 1980s that led to start changes in the way industry view safety. These included the Bhopal and sevis so disasters and the Philips 66 Houston chemical complex explosion. In July 1976, a chemical leak at a small chemical plant north of Milan, Italy, exposed the surrounding region to high levels of two three 7 8 tetrachloride benzo P dioxin. The leak severely affected humans, wildlife, and the environment. It was later determined that the plant had very rudimentary safety systems. It had not considered environmental protection during construction and operation and had no warning system or health protection protocols for the surrounding communities. The cevico disaster led to the adoption of the cevico directive in 1983. The directive or 82 5 O one aims to control major accident hazards involving dangerous substances, especially chemicals, and contributes to the technological disaster risk reduction effort. The directive was superseded by cevico two in 1996, also referred to as control of major accidents, hazards, or coma, and severe three in 2012. These amendments were the results of other industrial accidents that severely affected surrounding populations and the environment. The major takeaways from the cevico directives were the obligations placed on plant operators, which included mandatory safety reports, the establishment of a detailed safety management system and emergency action plans in the development of major accident prevention policy among others. Today, the cevico directive applies to more than 12,000 industrial establishments in the EU and is widely considered a benchmark for industrial accident policy from nations around the world. So two other major industrial accidents in the 1980s changed the way the industry views process safety management. And those are the vocal disaster and the Phillips 66 chemical plant explosion. So the boba disaster occurred in the late evening and early morning of December 2nd through third, 1984 in bottle, India. Shortly after midnight on December 3rd, up to 40 tons of toxic methyl acetate leaked from the plant storage tank and drifted downwind into the surrounding community. The highly toxic material claimed the lives of thousands of people in resulted in more than 550,000 injuries. The vocal tragedy led to new safety and environmental measures in government regulations in India. This included the environmental protection act of 1986, which created the ministry of environment and forests, the ministry was responsible for enforcing environmental laws and policies. It also led to the factories act of 1987, the hazardous Waste Management handling rules in the manufacture storage and import of hazardous chemical rules, both of those were enacted in 1989, and there were other rules and regulations enacted as well. The Bhopal disaster also influenced the ceviche to amendment in Europe and raised awareness that governing bodies around the world that enhance safety management systems were needed within industry. In the mid to late 1980s, several governmental safety organizations proceeded with advancing new safety management system regulations.

Crises clean air, plastic bottles, and the DCS. So this podcast is adapted from an article that is featured in the June issue of hydrocarbon processing magazine. So now the 1970s. In the 1970s were marked by several historical events that affected not only the hydrocarbon processing industry, but nations around the world. The decade witnessed two oil crises that would disrupt the global supply of oil and increase prices substantially. New regulations by the U.S. and Europe ushered in an era of clean fuel standards that are still in transition today. Novel technologies introduced the 1970s revolutionized emissions reductions from vehicles, tailpipes, advanced process controls and automation, and changed the way society drinks carbonated beverages. Now the decade also witnessed advances in catalytic processing technologies, such as the commercialization of catalytic to waxing, wax hydro isomerization, and continuous catalytic reforming. For example, mobile developed the first catalytic to waxing process in the mid 1970s. The technology referred to as the MD DW process utilized the company's zealots to Coney mobile 5 catalyst to increase the cold flow properties of diesel. The invention of the zsm 5 catalyst was actually detailed in the history of the HPI section in the May issue. Now in 1971, UOP began operations on the first CCR platforming unit at the coastal states refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas in the United States. So according to literature, the CCR section enabled refiners to continuously remove Coke accumulated on the catalyst. This allowed lower reforming reaction pressures to increase reform it and hydrogen yields, high reaction temperatures to achieve higher octane levels for gasoline blending, thus enabling lead free gasoline and increased production of aromatics for use as petrochemical feedstocks. Now let's look at two crises within the industry during that time frame. So the 1970s were rocked by two global crises. Those were the oil embargo of 1973 and the oil crisis of 1979. These two events had detrimental effects on oil importing nations around the world, as well as stress the importance of energy security. Now first we'll look at the oil embargo of 1973. So the first oil crisis to affect global economies in the 1970s was the organization of petroleum exporting countries, oil embargo in 1973 to 1974. So the embargo was a retaliation against countries that supported Israel during the Yom Kippur War with Syria. In other words, countries like the U.S., Canada, Japan, and a few African and Western European nations. Now, it banned petroleum exports to targeted countries and incorporated crude oil production cuts which led to a quadrupling of oil prices..

That work dates back to the recombinant DNA controversies of the mid 1970s to the still simmering CRISPR gene editing concerns of the present. And like some of the top scientists of his generation, he sought to be something of a bridge between the worlds of science and the society at large. It's always been a tricky balance. He doesn't have all the answers. He said in this interview that his thinking has evolved on societal debates over time in terms of who should be at the table. It would take at least 20 to 25 hours of interviews for me to fully explore this man's life and science. But I tried in this conversation of one hour to just hit some highlights. We talk about his upbringing. The value of humanity's training for scientists that he got, some early career turning points, how he got involved with BioTech as the industry began to emerge and the kind of opportunities he'd like to see open up for young scientists in the future.
