Interview - 'A Wise Old Man Predicted Ukraine War, Now He Has a Chilling Warning: Iran War Is Imminent! Prep Now', Given by Canadian Prepper, March 23rd, 2025

There’s a lot of negative comments to this video. I too had my doubts at first, but on reading it over and writing out the transcript, it seems to me to be one of the best summaries that I’ve seen. I’ve looked up ‘Operation Barbarossa’, and it was Hitler who spoke about an attack on Russia before it happened, so in anticipation Russia built up its forces along its border. The same thing is happening today. The European nations are chirping about war with Russia. Germany in World War II wanted more living space and the minerals that Russia possessed. And today? … In a 2005 talk to his military cadre, the then Chinese Defense Minister spoke of China’s need for “more living space”. Today, if you look at ‘China Observer’, you will see that China has treacherous problems due to the tariffs that U.S. President Trump imposed. China is treated as an enemy. If you look behind the scenes, at the Deep State, you will see that they, or their leader the Rothschild family [who creates  money out of nothing - a token for work or effort] was behind the Communist revolution in Russia, behind the formation of the country of Israel, AND behind the Maoist revolution in what is now, Red China. Do the players on the field foment war, or is it the string pullers behind the scenes who want total control for themselves?

Joel Skousen (Guest): Russia and China both will in fact attack the West when China is ready. The attack on Taiwan is going to be the real trigger event for World War III. There’s nothing that the Russians have done that has been honest. The Russians are just estatic with what Trump has given them. He doesn’t recognize that Kim Jong-un and North Korea is an enemy. He doesn’t recognize that Xi Jinping is a slick deceptive communist. He doesn’t recognize that Putin or the Soviet Union faked their own demise. The U.S. is starting a multifaceted multilateral attack on Iran. It’s going to make the war in Hamas look like a picnic in comparison, and there will be a trigger event definitely this year. And this is a massive sophisticated conspiracy. People have to wake up. The Deep State knows the wars with Russia and China is coming, but the mainstream media hasn’t got the message yet, and when they start to warn, it’s going to be seconds or minutes or even just a few days before that. And people will still sit back and say “Well let’s see if it’s going to happen.” World War III is already happening. This is a house of cards, and it is in the process of collapsing right now. You’re going to see an economic crash the likes of which we’ve never seen.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Hi folks, Canadian Prepper here. Today on the channel, once again we’re joined by Joel Skousen the author of ‘The World Affairs Brief’ and the widely popular preparedness book, ‘Strategic Relocation’. Joel is a respected geopolitical commentator whose insightful and prescient predictions have earned him a loyal following in the preparedness space. Chief among those predictions was predicting the onset of the Russian invasion nearly 10 years ago. Today we want to talk about everything World War III, as it currently centers around the policies of one Donald Trump. So how are you doing today, Joel, and uh what’s on your mind with respect to the events that are unfolding in the world today.

Joel Skousen (Guest): Well thank you Nate, it’s always good to be with you. My biggest concern is the fact that conservatives and preppers think that they’ve won and we don’t have to prepare anymore for war, because Donald Trump has been elected. Now I’ll be very frank, Donald Trump has done some wonderful wonderful things domestically, in terms of shutting down the DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) and woke agenda, and and sincerely wants to- you know, get America back to basic family values. My only criticism on the domestic front is tariffs. Uh, tariffs are tremendously disruptive to, uh the various economies. I’m a libertarian in that regard, I believe in free trade except for existential enemies, like Russia and China. I think you need to not trade at all with them, and the globalists made a big deal out of making China into the most favoured, in giving them ‘most favoured uh trading nation status’, giving them membership of the World Trade Organization, and allowed and encouraged a lot of our companies to move overseas to China. And they’re regretting that now, especially after the supply chain problem- problems we’ve had. But my biggest concern is the disastrous um views that Donald Trump has for foreign policy. First of all he starts out, “I’m going to be a peace president”, and yet he’s planning war plans right now in Washington DC, to attack Iran, to take Greenland, to invade Panama to get back the canal, and that’s something we never should have given away, by the way, in the- in the first place, because we built it and it is a strategic uh asset which we should have maintained, but Panama is never going to give it back voluntarily now, so that’s a problem.

But the biggest problem of course is Trump’s failure to understand the threat that Russia poses. You know Trump has one major weakness, Nate, and that is, he’s very subject to flattery, he dishes it out tremendously too- talks about Hillary Clinton being a wonderful person and other things, and they flatter him in return. But he has bragged about his wonderful relationship with Kim Jong-un, the dictator of North Korea who hasn’t repented at all about his nuclear program. In fact just recently he continued to threaten the United States over even bringing f-35s into Japan because it appears to to threaten him. Uh, he believes he’s got a good relationship with Xi Jinping, and that happened in the first meeting they had in Mar-a-Lago where Xi Jinping flattered Trump to death, and Trump just was putty in his hands. And in the same vein, he believes that Donald- that Vladimir Putin is a fine person. They had a wonderful telephone call on Tuesday [March 18th] uh, where uh he agreed to some problem things about the the so-called peace in Ukraine, but as I’ve explained to your audience before, it’s critical to understand that Putin and the Soviet Union faked their own demise in 1989 and 91, uh and Putin even admitted this to Tucker Carlson in his famous interview in Moscow [Feb. 6th 2024]. He said, “You know, Tucker, the Russian leadership effectively initiated the fall of the Soviet Union.” That didn’t mean anything to Tucker it went right over his head and why, because Tucker didn’t realize that the official narrative was that this was a spontaneous uprising of freedom, love and people in the Soviet Union and that they, simply the Russians, couldn’t control it, and so they decided to let everybody be free. But it wasn’t true.

Erich Honecker [East Germany] on his deathbed said, “Moscow gave me orders to stand down the Stazzi in Leipzig and let the student riots go forward”, which triggered the entire thing. Uh there was the phony coup of Gorbachev in his undefended villa, where supposedly the KGB couldn’t capture him, and after that the media announced that the heads of the KGB [state security] the GRU [intelligence] and the Defense Minister were fleeing for their lives. Well, nobody asked the question, “Who were they fleeing from”?.. These are the people that had all power in the Soviet Union in terms of defense and uh police power, etc., and ‘who were they fleeing from?’ So this was really a phony coup from the from the very beginning. I even watched a documentary of Russians after the fall of the Soviet Union talking about the Red Square protests that were. Yeltsin was on the tank explaining about liberty and democracy to people, and they said, “You know the only thing we couldn’t understand is where were the KGB; the KGB were always shadowing us before, always threatening us with arrest, and they were nowhere to be seen.” So you see, Nate, someone obviously gave a stand-down order to not- to let these protests go forward. So this was a carefully crafted thing, and Putin tried to tell Tucker, “This was because we wanted peace and cooperation with the West, that’s the reason we took down the Soviet Union.”

But in fact that was patently false. He said, “We offered to join NATO”; he told Clinton that, and then Clinton advisers told Clinton, “No you can’t let him join NATO.” .. Now the reason is because the Clinton advisers, being globalists, knew that the Soviets had faked their own demise. Why didn’t they blow the whistle, like I did, when it happened? It’s because they were still in the mode of protecting Russia. And China– Remember that the globalists had built both of these enemies over the time. We made Russia a nuclear power; we gave them the plans to the nuclear weapons they couldn’t steal in the Manhattan Project that was discovered in Langley. After the war, Nate, after the war, they were shipping the plans; and Major George ‘Racey’ Jordan of the Great Falls, Montana, Air Base, confiscated. That got a call from the White House, from Harry Hopkins, a communist spy in the Truman administration saying, “Give those plans back to the Russians and don’t tell anybody about it.” ..And then two months later we shipped them the first shipment of enriched uranium, because even though they had the plans to the nuclear weapons they couldn’t do anything, because they couldn’t enrich uranium. So we sent them the first shipment in the Nixon Administration; we gave them the miniature ballbearing technology from Bryant Industries in Maine, so that they could maneuver their missiles and make multiple warheads. So not only did we make Russia a nuclear power but we gave them the technology to maneuver their missiles.

Now in 1990s they were still in the mode of protecting and covering up for the Soviet Union. That’s why they didn’t blow the whistle, but they weren’t let- about to let Putin get away with that. You know, Putin even told Tucker Carlson, he said, “You know Lenin and Stalin put the Donbas and Crimea into the borders of the Ukraine.” Now I don’t know why they did that, but we know that Lenin had already faked the the fall of communism once, to gain aid from the West, and they were planning on doing it again. And that’s why they put the Donbas, the Russian speaking areas of Crimea and Donbas into Ukraine so they would have an excuse to reinvade when they faked their own demise after- in 1990 89 and ’91. And that’s exactly what happened. And you know, conservatives have been completely deceived, and I’m a conservative myself, and an anti-globalist from the very beginning, but conservatives have been completely deceived by the notion that in 2014 the West overthrew in Ukraine a duly elected president, Yanukovych, who was a communist, pro-Putin communist, as have been most of the presidents in Ukraine since the phony fall. Because communists were never purged out of the governments of Poland, Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary uh, and and Ukraine. And that’s why there was so much corruption that dealt with the Bidens, and you know bereavement, all of that. And every one of the presidents have made themselves wealthy through that corruption. Well in fact, even though the West did give money and aid to the protesters, in fact Yanukovych himself pulled the coup on himself, because he was the one who gave the orders to stand-down the Berkut (special police).

Notice how similar this is to the phony fall of the Soviet Union: You give orders to stand down the Stasi [East Germany]; you give orders to stand down the KGB [Soviet Union], and Yanukovych gave orders to stand down the Berkut – now that’s the riot police, swat teams that had been killing and pro- and surrounding the protesters so they could not escape. And on that Friday in February 2014, when he gave the order for the Berkut to stand-down, the protesters woke up in the morning in the Maiden Square, and they were free to leave. Now that’s how it was won, not because they broke through the barricades; they even walked through the presidential palace because there were no guards there.

I know that in an emergency having the right gear can make all the difference. this is why I’ve tested and curated the best preparedness products on the market so that you can be confident and ready for whatever comes your way. Now back to the video:

Question: So you’re saying that he [Yanukovych] basically uh faked, uh or allowed this coup to happen so that Russia could then have justification to intervene?

Joel Skousen (Guest): Yes, and let me tell you how he did this. When he exercised his coup and he fled the next day, claiming that the un- unarmed protesters were a threat to his life, um an interim president, Yatsenyuk, who Victoria Nuland had preferred to be the interim president, so that added to the conspiracy theory that the West was engineering this. But that was only an interim president, and the president that was elected after Yatsenyuk was Petro Poroshenko. He’s another fake nationalist who campaigned on the issue that he was going to let the Donbas be semiautonomous- gonna be able to run their own lives, and as soon as he got elected, he backtracked on all of those promises and started to persecute Donbas saying, “You got to speak Ukrainian, you can’t speak Russian.” That is what initiated Putin’s excuse to invade- is the persecution. Remember that’s the whole reason for putting the Russians there. And remember that the Russians- that Putin put hundreds of thousands of Russians into Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the Baltic states. They’re there today, and they were going to be next on the list after Ukraine for persecution, to be able to justify coming in there.

So people have to understand their conspiracy history, in order to see that the mainstream media, um you know, which will never tell them this. But what is most concerning, Nate, is the fact that conservatives are rightly con- uh, convinced that the mainstream media never tells them the truth, okay? They always lie, right?.. except now. Why now? Because just prior to World War III, which they’ve been building Russia and China to pro- to do, they have to switch sides and start to attack Russia and China, okay? Now that’s an important point. Same thing with Hitler in World War II; they built up Hitler. They said Hitler was not a threat, but just before the war they started to attack Hitler so that they’re on the correct side of the war once it starts.. the one that they promote. So you, this is a very sophisticated and it’s almost impossible to get conservatives to think that the mainstream media can be telling the truth about Russia being an enemy, but it is true. And the the fact is that they have cheated on every treaty, and and sadly, just Donald Trump thinks that disarmament is wonderful, part of his peace nick, you know peace at any cost, ideas, that he he thinks that we ought to have complete nuclear disarmament. Now- now Russia has cheated on every single nuclear disarmament. They have three times as many nuclear weapons as we do and missile throw weight. We’ve got about 400 ‘Minuteman 3’ missiles, which are now ‘Minuteman 1’ missiles because we’ve dismantled the three nuclear warheads and put a single nuclear warhead on. We’re developing the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile system, but that won’t be ready till 2035, and I think the war- Third World War will already be started by then. So unknowingly, Donald Trump, because of his failure to understand who the true enemies are, and is blustering through provocative attacks that’s going to come on Iran and perhaps Greenland.

Um, I thought we were going to get more time with Donald Trump as president, but I think in terms of war, we’re going to get less time, and he can’t stop this. Russia and China both, will in fact attack the West, when China is ready. But Putin has to wait for China, because he can’t- he can’t occupy if he nukes the West, he doesn’t have the troops to do that. But China does, and that’s why he has to wait for China… [to Nate:] Go ahead.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Yeah it- I mean on the one hand at face value, if we take what we- what he says as truth, it appears as though that- there is some rapprochement happening, but then when you look at what’s happening behind the scenes, like you have, Trump wanting to annex Greenland, presumably for national security purposes in order to, you know, build out the American version of the ‘Iron Dome’ as he calls it. An intercontinental ballistic missile defense shield, you know, he’s talking about these things which are you know. He also backed out of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty you know, so he’s doing a lot of things that run counter to what he’s saying, you know. He’s intelligence sharing with Ukraine again, sending more weapons. They’re doing reconnaissance in the Black Sea, uh, the instructors are still there, so it seems like there is some foresight there with respect to fighting an actual nuclear conflict. I think even throughout, uh I think it was 2017, when he wanted to make changes to the U.S. electrical grid and fortify it against EMP attacks. So you know, on the one hand I agree with you that there’s a lot of bluster here, but on the other hand it looks like they are actually aware of the threat to some degree.

Joel Skousen (Guest): Well you bring up a conflicting set of opinions, Nate, because Trump is all over the map. He wants to be a peace president and wants him- And you know he does have advisers which he rarely listens to anymore because they’re- they do believe that Russia is an enemy, and he hasn’t been listening to him/- to them relative to the thing in Ukraine. I mean, let’s take for example the the the deal he just did with Putin after a three-hour conversation, and most of that was chumming around you know, complimenting one another, and Putin knows, like Xi Jinping, you got to compliment and praise Trump to get him to give what.. But i’ll tell you, the Russians, who are still communists by the way, are just ecstatic with what Trump has given them. He’s essentially not required them to give up anything in the negotiation for Ukraine. In fact, Putin’s demands are still in force, and that is: he won’t sign a peace agreement unless the U.S. stops all military aid to Ukraine, and NATO stops all military, that they do not conscript any more soldiers, and they don’t train any more soldiers. Now do you think for a minute that Russia will not rearm their soldiers and send more supplies in, and keep conscripting and keep building their military. And Putin keeps demanding that U.S. has to monitor what Ukraine does to make sure this happens, but there’s no talk of a monitor that goes into Russia to see that they aren’t rearming their troops. You see how one-sided this is?

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Well I guess we we have to wait though, and see exactly what the conditions are going to be, because it really almost seems like both sides are just stalling.. And that this is a, a tactic being employed, because we know that Trump has intentions with Iran and I think what he needs right now is a a a, static situation which is probably at best what they’re going to get, some sort of stalemate in Ukraine, and there might be some skirmishes you know across the line, but keeping it low level intensity. It’s still going to fester, but it’s not going to potentially flare up, while they go and do what they want to do in Iran. That- is that a possibility?

Joel Skousen (Guest): No, it really isn’t. It’s a misunderstanding of everything that the Russians and Chinese have ever done with a ceasefire. They always continue to build, and then they use a a a conflict, which they blame on Ukraine, in order to break the ceasefire after they built up. This will not be a stalemate. Russia for example isn’t signing, or isn’t moving- is delaying the peace agreement because they want to take as much territory as they can before they uh, do a halt. And they’ll only do a halt for purposes that involve that, if if ukraine is restrained from rebuilding and they are not. And I’ll tell you, we have had three major leaks that Russia has never changed their demands that Ukraine must not continue to arm; they must be essentially neutered into a stalemate, but we will not be accepting that which we know that Ukraine is never going to agree to obviously. Well, but he may not have a choice, you see, if if Russia, if if Putin- I’m sorry, if Trump cuts off arms and military supplies, which Europe cannot- About half of the supplies and armaments Europe cannot replace, because they won’t be allowed to transfer U.S. weapons that Trump has given them to Ukraine. And this is what has fractured the entire alliance, basically, because now the Europeans don’t trust the United States to be able to back them up. And you know Europe has not come up to their own self-defense uh even though they’ve earmarked $800 billion dollars to aid Ukraine in the wake of Trump’s cut off of military aid. But you see Trump is using this as a lever to strangle Ukraine. Now what I’m saying is, even though Ukraine is still a corrupt country the citizens don’t deserve to live under; and they are very anti-Russia now in western Ukraine. They don’t deserve to live under the continuing Soviet Union, or the rebuilding of the Soviet Union that I have predicted was the whole purpose of faking their demise to get aid and trade, so then they could come back in and use one pretext or another to to.. So remember Iran will not cause World War III. It’s going to cause a mess, and it’s going to be a multifaceted attack with Israel and the United States attacking Iran. Uh, it’s going to make the war on Hamas look like a picnic in comparison, but this will not lead to World War III, because China is not involved there; they don’t have a reason to be involved. But and the Ukraine War um you know, has benefits in the sense that it keeps Russia weakened militarily, and that postpones the day of when they can come you know, at the United States in league, when China is ready. And of course China is the big time factor here. So uh that war is going to start with the attack on Taiwan, because North Korea, if we try to intervene, will in fact attack the West, and we have to intervene if they attack South Korea because we have 26,000 troops there. So the attack on Taiwan is going to be the real trigger event for World War III, and so I highly encourage people not to stop their preparations.

Trump is going to give us the respite domestically, from the horrible DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] type politics, but he’s not going to apparently stop- because he doesn’t recognize who’s real enemies and who’s not. That’s the problem.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): So your prediction for how this thing is going to go with Ukraine, is that Trump will ultimately pull funding and support, military support to Ukraine that will lead to them having to cede territory to the Russians, and that will allow Russia to rebuild its military, and.. Because it seems like that, he could have- did that, he could have continued on that arc. But instead they recommenced uh military you know ISR [intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance] and weapons shipments, so..

Joel Skousen (Guest): But that was only because- that was only because Zelinski wisely threw a bone to Trump.. said “I’ll accept a temporary 30-day ceasefire to test Russian intentions.” And that put the ball back in Trump’s court, so he had to respond and say “Okay you’re coming a little bit my way, I will resume arms and military shipments”, because Putin had not shown any sign. He’s still trying to take the entire Kursk region, and capture a lot of ukrainian soldiers so that he can hold them hostage on this thing. That’s why he’s postponing this stuff. I mean Putin- look, even in this agreement yesterday, which was Tuesday [March 18th] about no attacks on infrastructure, what happened today? Putin attacked another power plant in the Ukrainian side of the Donbas. He’s already broken his word! I mean, this is a fool’s paradise to think that Putin is not going to do anything but rebuild and rearm, and then use a pretext of a violation by Ukraine, as they did in the beginning of the 20- 2014 stealth invasion, uh to to invade again. So it’s not going to lead to peace.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Uh apparently Witkoff came out today and said that the drones were in the air before the call was made, but we do know that those [laughter from Joel] attacks uh continued well into the night, and it was a two-way street because I believe Ukraine did target some oil refineries. Uh they claim it was retaliatory, so it’s hard to say whether or not that that- that actual agreement was to be put in place immediately, because as far as I know we don’t have the official, like transcript of the actual call, so we we don’t really know what the nature of- because Trump is so mercurial and and ambiguous in his negotiating. We really, you know I I- I can’t take anything that they say at face value on either side at this point in time because there seems to be people surrounding Trump who are pushing him in the direction of being more belligerent towards Russia, like he’s surrounded by you know people who historically were very neoconservative and very anti-Russian. Yet uh, you know for some reason they’re in his cabinet now, so-

Joel Skousen (Guest): No, no, they’re not. No they’re not in his cabinet, he’s not listening to them. Those are the traditional um intelligence briefers who are in, and it’s not neocon in the sense that they’re always for war. Remember these are globalists and they’ve switched sides. Remember these same neocons were covering for Russia during the cold war, they were talking about uh “containment”, “We won’t actually attack, we’ll let them take Hungary, etc., we’ll just contain them.” That was a false thing to allow, uh Russia to continue. Remember they took Nicaragua, they took Cuba, they took all of that during containment. It was not a success but these neocons were protecting, and they have switched sides. And they are anti-Russian which is the correct position, because Russia faked their own demise.

Now remember that when Trump was on his telephone call and agreed to those things with Putin, Ukraine was not part of that. Trump assumed that, “I will require, after the call at some time, Ukraine to comply with the energy infrastructure.” But they were not, uh on the call and did- were not aware of that until many hours later when it was finally made public, what was to happen. So Putin was responsible, uh you know for sending the attacks on um- on on the power supply, in my opinion.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Well, I mean it’s, I guess we’ll find out in the next few days uh where Trump allegiances truly lie in terms of–

Joel Skousen (Guest): No, no, remember there’s no allegiance. Trump is all over the map; he’s a bull in a China climb; he’s on a roll. Because of his successes domestically he thinks, “I can do no error”, and he’s blustering through this foreign policy stuff. He’s erratic, he’s change- look at the tariffs on one month, off another, on- and giving exceptions here; and you know markets don’t like that. That’s why this stock market has taken a hit. But trump has no ideological alliance except to his own sense of, “I want to do what’s going to make me great”, you know, as well as part of that is the populist movement of making America great and (DI), but remember the courts, as I predicted in ‘The World Affairs Brief’- the the Deep State courts are blocking almost all of Trump’s moves. And uh, so it’s it’s it’s going to be tough uh, you know to to fight through this thing and all. We want him to succeed, but I’ll tell you, he’s a disaster in terms of foreign policy, because he doesn’t recognize that Kim Jong-un and North Korea is an enemy; he doesn’t recognize that Xi Jinping is a slick deceptive communist. He doesn’t recognize that that Putin or the Soviet Union faked their own demise. Uh, and so the advisers that are telling them that Russia is an enemy are absolutely correct. And I say that as a conservative, as an anti-globalist. They have switched sides and are moving in the correct direction, only because they know that the war that they want, and that Russia wants, and that China wants eventually, will take place.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): You know uh one of the the things I’ve always taken issue with was the, uh Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it seems as though there’s a bit of ‘Putin Derangement Syndrome as well. How much of? Because I think a lot of people are struggling to truly understand the the ‘Russian threat’, because on the surface it appears as though Vladimir Putin is very congenial and judicious in his diplomatic dealings. But then we also know that it’s illegal to protest in Russia and there’s you know- there’s this veneer of uh civility and freedom which perhaps uh a lot of Westerners, especially ones who are sympathizing with Russia’s grievances with respect to NATO encroachment, don’t fully comprehend.

So, maybe before we go into Iran, can you just maybe give us your perspective on what is the Russian threat: why is Russia actually a threat to the West, or are they a threat at all?

Joel Skousen (Guest): First of all let’s dispose once and for all with the NATO encroachment threat. That’s propaganda! NATO never did sign any type of agreement, any formal agreement, that they would not increase NATO toward the west- uh towards the east one one inch, as has been quoted add ad-infinitum. There was verbal talk about that, never any signed agreement whatsoever, because NATO has a policy; it’s a fixed policy about people can uh request entrance into NATO, and they can’t undo that policy. People can request. And remember, Putin doesn’t mind if NATO comes further east, because remember he never did. We never did purge, and he never did purge any of the communists out of any of the former soviet states. He now has hundreds of spies in NATO because of allowing Poland, Romania and Bulgaria- i’m not saying that they’re all communists, a lot of them are free market, a lot of them really you know hate Russia. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have, you know- The Soviets were expert at infiltrating and they still are. You talk about what’s the biggest espionage threat in the United States, it’s Russia and China, not just China- Russia and China are still spying and infiltrating everything that they possibly can. They’re doing it in NATO, so he doesn’t mind. Besides he already has NAYO on his border in the Baltic states, and he has controlled Ukraine for many years after the phony fall with these phony phony presidents and things. So remember that Putin is a master. As you know J.Edgar Hoover wrote the book the communist ‘Masters of Deceit’ and they really are masters of deceit. He plays a great role, and he’s playing conservatives to the tea. He pretends to be a christian: remember they don’t make christians colonels in the KGB. Just because he is giving aid to the Russian Orthodox Church doesn’t mean he’s a christian. Remember that the Russian Orthodox Church never protested any of Stalin’s purges- millions of people during the Soviet years- never protested once, because the communists have infiltrated with communist priests and cardinals and higherups within the orthodox church during that, and they’re still there. Same thing with the orthodox church in Ukraine, which got abandoned because they’re full of communist spies. And communist- And non-communist or christian presidents don’t attack civilians. Throughout this war in ukraine, as Putin has. They don’t take 20,000 Ukrainian children captive and refuse to give them back; they don’t you know. Christians just don’t do that, and christians don’t ban other lesser sects- sects as Putin has in Russia. Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists and Mormons to a large extent.

Um. And of course he he claims to be anti-woke. He claims to be anti-homosexual, though he allows it in, you know. They don’t allow it openly in the Russia, because they don’t want their own country corrupted, but they do believe in corrupting U.S. morals through Hollywood etc., and infiltration there. Uh, so it’s a one-way street to to make conservatives think; and they foolishly have thought, after the phony war on terrorism, “Anybody the globalists are against must be a good guy”. Iraq and Afghanistan were innocent of 9/11, which was a Deep State operation from beginning to end. And Osama bin Laden worked for the CIA, he didn’t do 9/11, they had lookalikes that did that. I mean this is a massive sophisticated conspiracy! People have to wake up to what’s happening.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Well I guess I mean if I was to play the devil’s advocate here and view this through the lens of the Russians, they would probably say, “Well you know we have this massive war where we lost 20 million people, and you have this alliance whose primary motus operandi is to defend against- to defend against us.” Uh a lot of the countries who are part of that alliance have gone on their own imperialist crusades uh throughout that period of time, and you have people within that alliance, leaders particularly in the Baltic states, increasingly more so being echoed by all of the leaders, suggesting that they need to strategically defeat and Balkanize Russia. So I, I guess what I’m trying to figure out is you know, where- Not necessarily who’s telling the truth cuz you know that is epistemic issue that we’re never going to be able to resolve. But, you know, does Russia have some legitimacy to the grievance, if they have endured what they’ve endured in the last century. And you have leaders of these countries wanting to basically destroy and balkanize Russia, so that they can go and get the resources that they’re going to need to re-industrialize Europe. Uh there seems to be two sides to that argument, I guess. And and I I don’t know if it’s as cut and dry as some people would claim.

Joel Skousen (Guest): Well it’s certainly not as cut and dried as you’ve presented it. Uh, the Baltic states know that Russia is coming after them after Ukraine. They know that that’s why the Russians were put into them. I mean this; you got to remember that Russia started World War III- I mean World War II with Germany. You don’t know that they were amassing troops on the border there, ready to invade, and that’s why Hitler started Operation Barbarossa. Now they had created a pact, a non-aggression pack, but Russia was clearly going to violate it, and they jumped the gun and invaded Russia. So they were the- they were at fault for their own loss for starting that. Remember that the U.S. did nothing, even though they knew they were communists, they knew that they were after the West: they were extent ex- existential enemies, armed them, gave them truck factories, gave them aircraft, gave them all of these things, not only to help them fight the war against the Nazis, but also to give them the technology that allowed them to build after the war. And that’s why we made them a nuclear power. Remember, they knew they were communists. Yalta gave away all of Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union because we had Alger Hiss, a globalist turned communist. At least he joined the communist party so that they wouldn’t think anything about him helping them. You know, introduced Russia to Roosevelt to give them all this stuff.

So Russia is not innocent in World War II. They’re not the innocent victims, and they have- look at what they did; they took Hungary in- you know, when they tried to rebel. These are not nice people. These are still communists and when you talk, when you look at the deception of pulling off the fall- phony fall of the Soviet Union, and years in advance, I’ll tell you frankly, Nate, this is satanic inspired. Nobody is smart enough to pull these things off 20, 30, 40 years in advance, unless they have satanic inspiration and revelation to guide their actions that many years in advance when they put- faked their own coup in 2014. There’s nothing that the Russians have done that has been honest, but- except play the diplomatic role, and they’re very sophisticated at that.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): So, maybe let’s pivot to uh the Middle East, because it appears as though there’s a buildup, and the vector through which they’re going to initiate a conflict with Iran could be through Yemen. Uh, because now Trump is saying that any defensive action on the part of the Yemenis will be attributed to Iran. So i- is this what’s likely going to unfold then? Is that, there’s going to be some skirmish? I mean there was rumor that an Iranian ship was taken out by an American ship, but I don’t think that’s been confirmed at all. What is your prognostication for what’s going to happen in the Middle East, and do you think that uh maybe, what will Russia’s role be in that as well?

Joel Skousen (Guest): Russia can’t come to the assistance of iran at all, uh any more than they could come to the assistance of Syria when U.S. backed ISIS took over Syria, uh allowed you know Israel to take another slice of Syria for their own, etc. Um but you know this whole thing that Trump thinks that ISIS was defeated, is just f- ‘a fool’s paradise’. ISIS has always been a Deep State creation. We even saved ISIS in the ba last battle of iraq, uh Raqqa in Syria by hiring 50 Arab trucks, semi-trucks and drivers, to go in and pick them up and take them with their heavy weapons back into Syria where they started from. Is- the U.S. took 50% of the jihadists they imported into Syria for the phony civil war, to create ISIS. And that doesn’t mean that everybody in the military knows that this is a very highly compartmentalized Deep State operation, between the Deep State and U.S. and Israel and Turkey who continues to market oil. That the U.S. now occupies in northern Syria oil fields, and markets it through Turkey to Israel who buys that oil at a sub-black market price. There’s a tremendous amount going on in here.

I don’t know what the trigger event, Nate, is going to be, uh but clearly the U.S. is starting a multifaceted- not unilateral, multilateral, attack on Iran, and there will be a trigger event. Could be with the Houthis, uh but Iran kind of knows it’s coming. That’s why they thumbed their nose at Trump on any more nuclear negotiations. But uh it’s coming, and I think but it’s- it’s going to divert us from the the war on Ukraine. But remember, the war on Ukraine is far more important vis-a-vis Russia, one of our existential enemies than Iran, who’s not an existential enemy. It is to Israel perhaps, but you got to remember that Israel does a lot to antagonize their own enemies, like they pulled 80% of the gaza defensive brigade out of southern Israel to facilitate the Hamas attack.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): So what do you think? Are are we looking at an- a direct attack on Iranian nuclear facilities? And uh, I’m not sure you know how much detail you’re you’re willing to go into with respect to what a military operation like that might look like but.. Uh cuz obviously there’s lots of logistical issues with respect to that, what type of weaponry if it’s even possible. Would they use tactical nukes, uh or would this be- would we see another attempt to try to foment a coup. Uh what do you think the actual military intervention in Iran would look like and what would the geopolitical ramifications be?

Joel Skousen (Guest): Well it’s um- it will not be nuclear. Uh they’re not going to use tactical nukes, there’s no need to. There will be a massive conventional surgical strike against Iranian radars, many more than happened last year uh, in some of those surgical strikes to their anti-missile systems. Um and there’s a whole.. You know, Iran is a is a major military force now, on paper bigger than than Israel, though not nearly as effective because of the U.S. jamming capabilities, as they were able to attack Iran last year by jamming all of their anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile systems. But uh yeah, I think it’s going to be a surgical strike on, um and a very broad ranging with both U.S. and Israeli aircraft against uh, uh major anti-aircraft radar systems, as well as their uh missile bases, which are dispersed by the way. So they’re going to hit their naval facilities too which are significant as well, but I don’t think it’s going to be a nuclear strike, though they will go after Iran’s nuclear facilities. Nate: “okay.” Joel: I think they’re going to use a moab bomb. Their missiles are dispersed so it’s very difficult to get at all of those, but it will denigrate their their ability to attack. And I think Iran is going to go after Israel’s nuclear stores- stockpiles.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Okay and and so would the outcome of that then be a blockade or an embargo on the Straight of Hormuz? Is that something that you think is overblown is that something that iran can actually uh pull off?

Joel Skousen (Guest): Oh definitely they can pull it off, you just have to sink- sink one or two ships in that narrow part of the Strait, and you can block all oil shipments coming out of there. It would hurt Iran as well as other, you know Arab producing countries but uh that probably is a very realistic result from the war. We’re going to have a an oil- oil shortage.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): And so what do you think trump’s response with that would be, because he has this strategic oil reserve that he could draw from. It seems like oil prices are plummeting right now, so if there ever was an opportune time to do something it’s probably now, when presumably oil prices have bottomed.

Joel Skousen (Guest): Yeah, they’re not that low but you know they have bottomed. I think you’re correct in that, and if there is any quote ‘good time’ to do that. I just want people to remember that Trump says, “You know I never started any wars during my first term”, but he’s going to start several wars in this one. Iran is probably a 95% certainty.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): And do you think that’s going to happen like this year?

Joel Skousen (Guest): Oh, definitely this year, yeah.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Well so that’s I mean that’s going to have huge repercussions, like I mean.. And that’s a big deal like a war with Iran is a big deal, and-

Joel Skousen (Guest): It is a big deal and that’s why I say, you know, whenever- we talked about this before the show- But whenever Trump, or even when Ronald Reagan get- got elected, everyone in the conservative movement thought they were saved, and so preparedness went down by at least half. Monetary contributions to conservative causes went down, uh you ask Mike Lindell right now how his contributions level are, and they are in the basement now because people think that we’ve won. But we haven’t won. Remember, the Deep State is still there; it’s NOT the unelected bureaucracy that Trump is going after. The Deep State is very deeply hidden, and many of those people are not even on any payroll, so they can’t be fired. They have secret funding.

This is the time while it’s still available. Remember, once war comes you can’t prepare, because the grid will go down and there will be no electricity.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Yeah I always try to advise people, like the best time to prepare is when nobody else is prepping, because that’s when you can get things cheap, that’s when you can really have you know your pick of the land, and you can strategically relocate as you say. You know that the objective should be to not try to get everything together in an acute crisis situation, but to buy low and you know sell high. (Joel: Yeah..) Nate: But uh it seems like unless it’s being broadcast across the the airwaves by the mainstream media, that nobody claims to trust, at least in the preparedness community, but they still look to them for you know the the ‘official word’ on whether or not they should be panicking… Um, unless they’re being told that there’s an imminent crisis, then the motivation to prepare pretty much you know, dissipates.

Joel Skousen (Guest): It’s extremely important for people to realize that the mainstream media, well look, the Deep State knows the wars with Russia and China is coming, and that it probably is going to be triggered in in Taiwan, not in Iran. But the mainstream media hasn’t got the message yet, and they will. And when they start to warn, it’s going to be you know seconds, or minutes, or even just a few days before that. And people will still sit back and say “Well let’s see if it’s going to happen.” Yeah, but once once it happens and the lights go out with an EMP strike, then your time of preparation has just ended. And it won’t be coming back for at least a year because the grid will be down that long. So I encourage people to prepare you know, I published my ‘World Affairs Brief’ to get people a realistic view, as I’ve tried to do in this interview today on what the real threats are, even though it goes against what most conservatives think now about Russia, because they bought into the Russian propaganda uh, about them being the good guys. But I won’t be wrong. Don’t bet on me- against me, because I’ve uh, I’ve rarely ever been wrong.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Well and that’s that’s part of the reason why I have you on the channel, Joel, is that even though we don’t agree on everything, uh you know, I I will uh commend you for your predictions that you’ve made. I mean, you did say a lot of people in this, you know, trend forecasting space will often times make these predictions that kind of serve their own interests. But you know, back in I think it was 2012, or I can’t remember exactly when you were giving that presentation, you you had said that you think that the onset of war with, you know the Russian Invasion would start in the early 2020s, and you know it happened. So you know I think that’s vindicating, you know in terms of of your your predictive capabilities in the very least, even though we we may not agree on on certain things, you know. I think people should definitely check out your website, and you know you always give people something to think about, that’s for sure.

Now, in terms of like general preparedness advice then, I always like to ask you a prepping question, because you know we’re a prepping channel. It’s not all doom and gloom. What would you, you know, advise people to be doing right now you know, that that’s perhaps uh something that they can really sink their teeth into in terms of something tangible that they can do to prepare for what might be coming. Cuz, if we do go into a World War III situation, I presume that’s going to be an enduring crisis, which is going to require more than just you know a few weeks of stored food. So a strategic relocation is part of it. Maybe you would like to provide some insight as to where you think the best place to to be if a person was of modest enough means. Where where do you think people should be should be heading right now?

Joel Skousen (Guest): Well, if you look at the satellite view of the United States in the night sky you’ll see that the east is lit up like a Christmas tree and the west is fairly dark, except for the major metros. And that should tell you where safety really lies, is west of the Mississippi River in rural areas away from the major cities. And the most important thing you’re going to want to need when World War III comes is one: a reliable source of independent electricity. And this, these equipment, whether it’s generators, fuel supplies which you need to stockpile if you’re going to have a generator. But there is these solar uh generators which are in inverter systems that are plug-and-play, with solar panels and generators and other things that literally don’t require an installer. You can do it yourself and they’re readily available, and they’re reasonably priced for under $10,000. So you really ought to make sure you’re fat on alternative electricity.

And the second thing you’re going to need is someplace to get out of the way. And even if you can’t move away from the east coast, you need to get some type of retreat site with friends that’s got a basement in it uh, where you can put a high security shelter. Because if you can’t hide your food supplies or your ammunition, or whatever your preppering things, it’s going to be stolen as refugees flow out of the bigger cities and even get into the rural areas, given enough time. And they’ll be safe you know in rural areas, for a lot of time, but eventually you’re going to get marauders coming down when they get hungry enough. And so being able to get out of the way, to leave the doors open let them come through and find what they find, and move on, you’ve got to have a place to get out of the way. And I know it requires some effort.

I’ve written a couple of books, especially ‘The High Security Shelter’ which is now coming into its new edition, um with easier ways to do this in a basement. But that’s what you’re going to need someday. Just like Corey ten Boom [Netherlands] hiding Jews in World War II, you got to have a safe hidden place to hide from these people when social unrest comes, when when there’s no electricity. (Nate: Mhm) Corey: So all my books on preparedness ‘The Secure Home’, ‘The Highsecurity Shelter’ book, ‘The Strategic Relocation’, they’re available not only on Amazon, but I prefer you go to my website joelskousen.com to find those, so that we don’t feed the Amazon beast as much as we can.

Nate (Canadian Prepper): Right, we got to slow down the progression of our our move towards technocracy as much as we can. Well I appreciate you coming on once again, and uh when the war in Iran starts, we’re certainly going to have to have you back on once again. I would encourage people to go check out joelskousen.com for ‘The World Affairs Brief’, and pick up a copy of ‘Strategic Relocation’, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for coming out sir.

Joel Skousen (Guest): Thank you, Nate, always good to be with you.

The Rothschilds and the Romanovs
https://lovethetruth.com/history/rothschilds_and_the_romanovs.htm
“It was also in 1815, during the Congress of Vienna that the Rothschilds first attempted to set up a world government, using the debt of the European nations as leverage. The scheme actually failed, but they were at least successful in having Switzerland declared forever a neutral sovereignty in all future wars, in order that the funding of both sides could continue with impunity and unimpeded by the conflict. Even then, they could already visualise the millions of pound and dollar signs representing wars yet to come.
In fact, their ambitious one-world government plan only failed because Tsar Alexander I of Russia refused to be bullied by the Rothschilds. He immediately recognized their machinations as a devious plot to enslave not only his own country, but the world itself. Afterwards in a fit of anger, as is so typical of these people, Nathan Mayer Rothschild vowed that one day either he, or his descendants, would destroy the Tsar’s whole family or their descendants. How prophetic. It was in fact, just over a century later in 1917, that Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra and all their children were indeed brutally murdered by the Rothschild-sponsored Communist, Bolshevik thugs during the so-called Russian Revolution. These people are nothing if not patient in their seemingly never-ending quest for ultimate power.”

“Regardless of whether or not the vaccines are unnecessary and useless regarding the virus, or even harmful for many, they are the most uniform and concerted psychological weapon ever devised to control human behaviour. The compliance with the mask like a uniform is hardly even skin deep. It is still external, and at most it is just virtue signalling. For the New World Order we needed a much deeper and lasting compliance. When the overwhelming majority of the people yield in allowing you to inject into them, a substance which any free and thinking person like yourself would reject and object to, not even knowing what the substances are, but trusting their governments and our media networks, then that is most certainly the most important victory our structure could every hope for.”
