#226 -Be Very Afraid? Hantavirus Hype, Cruise Psyops and Fear Porn

0:00 Donald Jeffries, author of Hidden History and Survival of the Richest, host of the Donald Jeffries Show, Billy Ray Valentine, host of the Infinite Fringe Podcast, researcher, truth seeker from the Bronx, New York, Tony Arterburn, radio host, combat veteran, precious metals analyst, and alt-historian. Together, they take on the headlines of the week, decode the disinformation, and plow through the mainstream propaganda. Unauthorized, unscripted, and unintimidated, this is America Unplugged.

0:52 That's right, it's America Unplugged, ladies and gentlemen. 16th of May, 2026, Billy Ray Valentine has obtained the Spear of Destiny, and he's going to single-handedly open up the Strait of Hormuz. So just stand by for lower gas prices, brought to you in part by America Unplugged. I'm joined by the legendary Donald Jeffries. Welcome back to your own show, sir. Well, it's great to be here, Tony. This is, you know, just you and me, so we'll talk about the crazy situation. Obviously, a lot of nuttiness going on in this world.

1:32 It's the Don and Tony show. We have these get-togethers, Don and I, sometimes the occasion falls where it's just us, and I think that's when reality becomes so insane, it's just time for Don and Tony only. I don't know why, but it's whatever, when all the centrifugal forces of insanity coalesce, we are together. So good to see you, Don. I pulled up your article. I guess we can lead with this. If you go to donaldjeffries.media, click on articles, folks, you can find Donald Jeffries' writings, you can find them over on Substack. He put this article this week about hantavirus and suicide dolphins. I wanted to get your take on this, Don. We can start there. Let me pull it up real quick. Be very afraid. I love this.

2:31 There you go. We'll pull it up on the screen in case you haven't seen Don's Substack. Be very afraid, the hantavirus and suicide dolphins. Bend over and keep smiling by Donald Jeffries. What did you hit on here, Don? I think I found the perfect pitch. The people all messed up. I like that. I searched these things online. I don't know, I made predictions and I made it clear in the article. I'm not saying that this is going to be another COVID. Hopefully it won't, but in terms of the way they, this could be a monkey virus or SARS or one of the countless other things where they trot this stuff a lot and make people think maybe this is going to be a big pandemic. I talked to them about how I almost never heard the word pandemic for decades when I was growing up. It was unknown. As far as I know, there were no pandemics in America from 1920 to 2020, for the most part. That's if you don't question the World War I flu, which in my book, Listening to the Truth, I talked about there's reason to question the narrative behind that, that they were experimenting with things back then and the soldiers might have carried these experimentation into Fort Riley, Kansas.

3:55 Yeah, so even that we may not know the truth about, but I just, I get so sick of the fear of porn and especially when somebody like Bill Gates is front and center. So I had fun with him, fresh off the releases in the 1850s where we knew how you can get venereal diseases from Russian girls on Lolita Island. So I had no reason to listen to this guy. And Jackson T. Barrett, his first thing he says, awful audio in the game. He said, I don't know, it must be yours. No, I don't get complaints about it anymore. But so, you know, we see the X-Files mentioned this Fanta virus in the 90s. Now we, by name, we know that, and the Simpsons, of course, they predict everything. And it was on a cruise ship.

4:45 It's just, you know, it's amazing how these things work. And then we're now told that Gene Hackman's wife died from the hand of oats. And yet, and again, I'm excited to have fun with this and laugh at it because it's so absurd because CDC, WHO, and I have quotes from them in there, from their directives, you know, informing the public about this. They claim that basically it's mainly transmitted through rodents and almost always through rodent saliva droppings in urine. So I said, you know, this picture, that scenario, why are you getting that close to, you know, especially saliva? I didn't know rodents had saliva. How are you getting that close to be exposed to it? And it's been around forever.

5:27 So we never, now, of course, the only thing like, oh, no, no, they're finding references to it, like Gene Hackman's wife just a few years ago. And I questioned that one. You remember, that's a very strange death. They both were found dead in their home. So I'm just looking at that situation. Okay. What happened there? How did the woman, apparently the wife contracted the virus because she died first. So how did she, was she, did they have rats in the house? And clearly, I don't think Gene Hackman was having sex with anybody. So, you know, because they say it's through sexual contact. That's how humans pass it. So again, picture that. How did that happen? And, you know, that kind of goes into the whole death of them anyhow. What was going on there? Did Gene Hackman, the famous actor, have no one in his house to take care of?

6:15 It was just his wife. So that whole situation makes no sense, but they're throwing that out there. And they're claiming Gene's smart as an actress, that her husband died of it, again, back in 2021, the height of COVID. And, you know, again, how did that happen? I mean, who was he having sex with? Was he in close contact with rodents? How did she not catch it? So it's, when they throw out, this is the way you catch it. Okay, then explain how it happened then. Because most people are not in close contact with rodents. I mean, I, you know, we've even, we've lost way too often. And a lot of times I'll see their little, you know, they look like little specks of pepper or something that used to land behind their little droppings. I've never seen you know, salami. But, you know, many times, you know, I've cleaned it up. So this is, again, more fear porn, more stupidity. And so I'm, I'm just hoping that they don't, we don't have to go through all this again, because it brings back memories of just how stupid most of the people were the first time. Well, they already tried with monkey pox, if you recall, like this wasn't like a, it seems like a redo of that. I read an article on my show on Thursday, it's like, looking back at the history of the, of the hantavirus. And supposedly it goes, I'm sure it goes back, you know, probably thousands of years. But modern times, it's the Korean War. So like 1950s, he starts like isolating it supposedly.

7:44 But it's the transmission between human beings is like direct, like bodily fluid content. It's like, it's kind of like HIV or something. It's not going to be like airborne. At least that's the way I understand it. Unless there's some sort of gain of function garbage that's surrounding it. It's kind of like, right now I've got a, I've got some sort of virus or cold, like has no other symptoms, but my throat hurts, right? And it makes my, you know, it gives me a headache, makes me run a slight fever, but there's really nothing else. And it's May in Texas, like, how do you even get that? Like every once in a while, I'll get something strange like that. And I know it's from, it's manmade. It's something that's either, you know, an avalanche of people getting vax for something. It might be back to school, whatever, all the vaccine, it's something, it's not like I'm picking something up in the environment because there's tons of sunshine, vitamin D and all the rest. And so you're getting sick. So it's something that's introduced, in my opinion, especially since I hardly, I mean, it's like once every two years, I'll get to maybe three, I'll have a cold or something, but it's something I think I run into that's manmade.

8:54 And same thing with this, like it obviously made up. I mean, it's, they dropped this story conveniently, Don. Did you hear the story that was, it was another cruise ship story. And I just thought of this now, or I'd have pulled it up. Maybe the chat can pull it up, but wasn't there some arrests made on a Disney cruise with like some pedos, like people that were, wasn't that happening like right on the verge of when this whole thing went down with the Hantavirus cruise? It's almost like they introduced stuff to redirect you. So it's something to think about. Well, I think, yeah, I think in the Epstein files revealed that they were one of the Disney cruises stops or whatever they claimed had been involved with recruiting people there. So, and you know, I don't know why the cruises are always involved either.

9:53 And my wife and family is lucky. I went on one cruise with them years ago, I wanted to go, and I went back again. First of all, I found out that the guy that got killed on his honeymoon was after that. So I'd be looking over my shoulder constantly over that. Anyhow, it's an easy way to murder somebody on a cruise. But now if I'm worried, I'm going to be in the middle of some pandemic, which apparently starts on a cruise. And if you saw the video of the very, very gay guy, and I'm not going to say he's a crisis actor, but apparently he's got some experience in other areas where he shows up. But if you've seen that where he's talking, he's almost crying saying, it's real. This is real. We're going through, just absurd. It's so stupid. Because it's like he's working for, you know, the WHO or something. He's not acting like a normal person. If he was in a situation where he was scared, he's going to catch something. It's completely inauthentic.

10:45 But, you know, it gives Erica Kirkevang himself. I mean, I'm just looking at him saying, okay, this is this is not sincere at all. Of course, they throw that in. They throw that out there was if that's supposed to make you believe it. And as I understand it, they have a patient zero or something, who has already, I guess, gotten off the cruise and has already visited at least two states. And that's why I say what these people that have, they have to point them all over the place. So, you know, this guy visited here and there, just so they can say, well, you know, it's possible it could be here, it could be there, be very afraid. It's all about fear porn. And I, you know, I'm leaning more and more. I don't know anything about viruses or anything like that. And I didn't question I had Andrew Kaufman on my show early on in the COVID thing.

11:32 But I'm leaning more and more towards thinking maybe he's got something and the people that think that viruses are made up have something because it's just, it's so much fear porn. And they're crying. Bill Gates and people, they have so much of a vested interest in saying we have to prepare for the pandemic. We have to get ready, we have to take it seriously. And again, for a couple of years, nothing happened. Why did you know there was going to be a pandemic after you held, you know, how many simulations that they had constantly, went back to dark winter? So, I'm sure they've held some since then, they held the antivirus simulations. This is just, it's part of the overall equation to keep us distracted. And nothing distracts people like, you know, a possible crisis with their health. I mean, we've seen with that, when that happened, people were willing to give up everything. They gave up football and sports.

12:27 They gave up Hollywood. They gave up church. They're willing to give up everything, to give up hugging their loved ones. So, and all because, well, you know, I don't want to get COVID. I don't want to get that. And again, if you look, I published in Substack, I published what the CDC says the symptoms are for the antivirus. And again, they're identical to what the symptoms were for COVID, or the flu, the common cold, anything. So, I believe there's something different when something happens where you're, anyway, your nose turns polka dot or something, your little finger falls off, something that you say, well, it obviously has that, because this is different from all the other things, but it's all the same. And then all, the mind is very suggestive. So, if you have that 90% false PCR test that they had, you have a public that's in fear, terrified of getting this, and you get their home tests. And I had them in my family, constantly testing themselves. And you test positive for COVID, your symptoms are suddenly going to get a lot more serious. This is different. This is way different than I've ever had. And you're going to make yourself sick. At least that's what I think.

13:36 But I hate the fear part, because it really distracts people, and they're already distracted enough. Well, we lived through it, Don. You go back to the opening of 2020, and I've called this the great reset decade. It's like the ring of power. They wielded it, they used it, and the whole world got in this, that Rockefeller document. Remember lockstep? And they talked about that. There's one of the simulations, and it very much was lockstep. This has never happened before. Like coordinated efforts, government to government across the globe, running the same play. It was very effective. I mean, and it lasted for years, and it's not altogether gone from our society.

14:19 You can go travel right now. I promise you, you'll run into somebody who's masked up, who's still doing the dance. It's still in that mode. Regardless of mask or not, you still find people, I mean, they're still traumatized by it. And I empathize with that. I understand it. I mean, there was a mass psychological operation that was behavioral science. Like David Knight said, this is the only science behind any of this is behavioral science is used to get people to do, and maintain, like Larry Fink from Black Rock talked about using finances to steer people's behavior. And so that was used as a behavioral tool. And it's hard to say, when any of these stories drop, because we're so conditioned, we think, well, they're just leading with the next whatever, the next crisis, problem, reaction, solution, especially to cover up.

15:24 And this is the question mark. If you're following things like I do, like the creation of the money supply ever expanding, the massive crushing debt, I mean, United States is over 100% of debt to gross domestic product right now. And that's accelerating. You have the manufactured energy crisis with the war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and all of that, which we still haven't even felt the real fallout from that supply shock yet. Sorry, folks, it's not happened completely yet where we're seeing the downside, especially with crops and fertilizer. I mean, the world has a fragile economic ecosystem and we just screwed with it big time, which in my opinion is 100% on purpose. So a lot of these things may be multi-layered, multi-pronged to keep you distracted over what they're doing or setting the stage for austerity or climate lockdowns, whatever it is, they're going to lead with something and you're being farmed.

16:30 And this is why you can't, you know, we think elections or something like people take a big break, you know, like, well, Trump's in there, so we got this now, you know. I was always against that sort of mentality because it leads to, you know, again, loss of liberty, loss of vigilance, which you need that, need that eternal vigilance to keep any sort of of your freedoms. And I think there's a multi-pronged effort here and we'll see, you know, moving forward. Hopefully, we're just wrong. Hopefully, there's success at the China summit, Don, and we have an economic boon on the way. What do you think?

17:14 Yeah, I mean, it was very, you know, shout out to Stephanie Green. Good to see her in the chat room. She talks about the Freedom of Information Act request that tried to get evidence, documentation that the COVID-19 virus had been isolated. They have never produced isolates. And in fact, they admitted to a woman in Canada who filed it that they do not have isolates and that they simulated COVID-19 by using remnants of the regular coronavirus. So, it's a fraud. I mean, so until they prove it exists, it doesn't exist. So, but yeah, the Chinese, this is so funny because we've been, again, we've talked about fear porn. We've been, China has been, again, maybe Tom will pronounce it differently now because it's been seen and now it matters he's his new buddy. But we were, you know, Marco Rubio especially has been lots of fear porn about China. It's terrible. And I've talked for years about, on my sub stack, several people have told me that they lived in China or live in China now and they all tell me that life is better there. And they actually feel freer there now.

18:24 I'm as prone to everyone else's thinking, you know, China's this totalitarian and, you know, communist, you know, wasteland. But everybody tells me, and we know that their infrastructure is cleaner, the last trains, they don't have potholes, they don't have power grids where strong wind knocks the power out, that kind of stuff. So, they seem to care about their people, at least in that regard. We're not showing that we care about the people at all, because we don't do anything to our infrastructure. We don't provide anything, any kind of, you know, mass transit. We've probably no sort of, we have, people don't realize how slow our internet is. So, people want to talk about my connection problems or anybody else's, go to the Dominican Republic. I used to work with a guy in the Dominican Republic and he talked about how much faster their internet was than ours. I mean, that's inexcusable. And we know that because we just, because anything that has to do with the people, the American people, is not their priority. So, of course, he's going to go to China. And this is the same guy that ran as president very rightfully and was cheering, calling out NAFTA and all the horrible trade deals and how stupid our people were for making these trade deals where they always lose, which is tricky. And then he goes, and from what I can see of this deal, they don't see how we didn't lose. I mean, he's, we're bringing in 500,000 Chinese students. Why? Our own students can't afford college tuition. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we're the taxpayers footing the bill for.

19:52 Wouldn't surprise me at all. We'll be enforced with everything we do, on par with everything we do. And then the other part is even more hilarious where he's encouraging it against China's going to be building factories in our country. So, finally, we're going to get factories. We're going to build them. China's going to build them. So, I mean, it's so stupid. What was the point of this? What did we, and as I understand, I think they were trying to sell some airplanes, I think, to China. And China just said they suddenly like half of them, they're only going to buy like 200 instead of 500 or something. So, it's winning. Folks, that's their new mega there.

20:34 It's, I'm sure his cult considers it a win that he went and visited China, just like Nixon did. You remember when Nixon went in China, everybody loved it. And what happened? It started the process. The dominoes began to fall where American industry was killed because that opened the door for China making everything for us. And it's no accident. That was, I think, 72 when he went there. 72. Yeah. There's no accident that from that moment on, labor and industry in this country, unions and everything, began to deteriorate a steady decline, culminated with Reagan, kicking the asses of the air traffic controllers. Everybody Reagan, kill us unions, kill wages and benefits. And so, that's, Nixon was a lot of for that. Trump will get great press for this. He won't, because it's anything that, first of all, kowtows to another country, a totalitarian country, whatever, again, compared to us, though, maybe they're better. But the whole thing is stupid. And again, it's everything, Trump was supposed to be concentrating on America first. He's doing nothing, nothing for America.

21:46 And nothing for America. He's bombing Iran for Israel and involved in a senseless war for no reason other than to keep Israel happy. And now he's going over and look at the reactions compared to this. Remember when he met with Putin during his first administration, he was condemned. But no, this is cool. This is great. Whether he bowed to Xi or not, but we don't see the sense in it. It's nice to be diplomatic to everyone, but not when you're getting 500,000 students that we don't need. We can't get our own students in colleges. And when we're moving, some of the country builds victories for us. I think that's part of the plot of the movie, The Campaign with Will Ferrell back in 2012. Dan Aykroyd plays the Koch brothers or something like that. It's supposed to be the Koch brothers.

22:36 And they build what they know, they call, they named the town, I think America or whatever, their company is made in America and China. So it could be say that on the label, but they end up trying to build the factory in the United States. And no, it's funny. And you go back to that timeline for Nixon, right? When opening of China and that back channel communique that Henry Kissinger, they went through their contact in Pakistan and there was this, they were putting out feelers. That was a huge deal, but that sequence of events. So 71, we go off the gold standard. 72, we opened China. And then 1973 was the last year that the United States ran a trade surplus. It was also the year, I mean, never again, by the way, we didn't run, that was the last year we built the country with trade, with manufacturing. And that was started to go into a deficit in 1973, never created a surplus again. That was also the year, you'll know this Don, that was the year of the birth of the trilateral commission, which is really important. Like Zygmunt Brzezinski and the Rockefellers to look at that. And by 1979, Zygmunt Brzezinski was secretary of state with Jimmy Carter. And they wrote that famous memo in January of 79, basically cutting off diplomatic relations with Taipei in Taiwan and just affirming a one China policy for Taiwan, all that stuff that happened. But that whole, the 70s and onward were a shifting

24:16 of global, like American manufacturing power and capital to places like China and especially China. And so, you know, when people start blaming China or stuff, I'm like, you realize it had to take like an inside job to steer the wealth and power and technology away from the United States and point it towards China. Like that was done, like the calls are coming from inside the house. I've always said that. So it's like, you know, China's not really, I mean, it's not, they would love to dominate. They'd love to be number one. I mean, this is pretty apparent and they're building up their military and infrastructure and everything, but there's always a, to me, the better route would be to change our own policies, not necessarily to be antagonistic towards China, but reworking our system where it actually works for us. Sorry, I had a cough there.

25:12 Good. You're right. I mean, the problem is we don't, and this is why, when Trump, for a while at least, when he was calling his movement America First, it was so refreshing because that's exactly what we need. And it has nothing really to do with the America First movement of the 1930s, which was mostly a leftist movement. It was almost all classical liberals that were involved in that. But, and they were just, they weren't really, all right, because we didn't really have this gigantic foreign need then, but they were arguing that we, you know, it's stupid for us to get involved in another European war. Put your own interests first. Could anything be more sensible than if you're a sovereign nation, put your own interests first? We're obviously not doing that. And Trump has forgotten, and he has forgotten because he's an actor, but every, his saltists that are still supporting him, they've managed, this is amazing that this, this Chinese trip will just, it'll be considered a win. Morphine's wins, it's fantastic wins. Wins for nobody but the global elite. And it'll go right alongside with, hey, we stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon. That's become the new, sort of, celeb for, for MAGA. That's their number one issue. And that's what everybody voted for him for, so that Iran wouldn't have a nuclear weapon. And so that, you know, we could make a deal with China and that we could, you know, go against Thomas Massie, the only good member of Congress. So we could do everything to root that out. And we could demonize Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and everybody else in the alt media. That's what MAGA is now. I read them on

26:43 Twitter and it's, it's amazing that there, there, there's so many people out there that believe this stuff. And it's, it's, it's very disillusioning because I don't know where, you know, Trump, unfortunately, the actor Trump and son has saluted this populist sentiment that's out there. And you've got people now that believe some of these things are populism. Well, it's funny you brought that up. It's kind of a segue into what I wanted to talk about next. And that's Thomas Massie. This is a article up from the Guardian says, can a Republican defy Donald Trump and survive? Kentucky voters will decide. And so this election, his primary election, which is, you know, that's pretty much what counts by the way, folks, if you're in a heavily Republican area, like I am here in Texas, the election for who's going to be your congressman, isn't really about the 800,000 people in the district.

27:37 It's about those 50,000 Republican voters who vote in the primary and that should scare you. That's how this system works. But because I've, I've gone through that, I understand the math. And right now, Massie is trailing this made up person, right, that they just took this, you know, cookie cutter and obviously backed by all of, you know, people that knew Epstein. So it's like that whole Epstein class, as Massie says, backs the guy to take on Massie. Yeah, it's amazing. You want to wind the chat, ask me if I ever used truth social. No, I have not. You don't think I'd be well at this point on truth social. But yeah, it's of all the people. And that's why if you remember a couple of years ago, there was a guy who was a young guy was paralyzed from the waist down. I can't remember his name, Clinton. Me, I can't kind of can't remember it. Somebody in the chat.

28:41 Well, yeah, there's North Carolina guy was I know what you I know who you're talking about. He was really good. He came in and said some great talked about the secret sex parties in Washington, D.C. and stuff. And they got rid of him real quick. They primaried him. He was beaten again or he lost the election. But ninety six percent of these clowns get reelected every year. What is his name? Cawthorne, Cawthorne, Mason Cawthorne, something like that. And so unfortunately, he went down. You've heard nothing else about him. He's very young. I don't know if they just banned him from politics. Now they created a ridiculous scandal claiming some gay stuff. He was paralyzed from the waist down. But they came up with something to deem much as they're doing with Massey now. They're bringing out a different woman every day and claiming he was cheating with her constantly, which again, just. It's so obvious, isn't it? Because that's subtle, that's for sure. But I don't know what Cawthorne's attitude towards APAC was, but I'm guessing maybe he wasn't friendly to them. But, you know, when an incumbent loses, it's usually somebody like that. One of the good ones. Right. Marjorie Taylor Greene got out because she probably was going to be she was going to be primaried and probably the same kind of thing was going to happen. Massey's by far the best guy. I think he's better than Ron Pollock. He's really, really good on the issues. And of course, I have people, including Sybil Edmonds, who's been on my show, who's claiming he's got all these murky fingers behind him. Maybe so. I don't know. Again, maybe there's nobody legitimate, anyone. But his voting record indicates he's the best one in Congress, I think. He seems to be looking

30:14 at the interests of people. So for this clown, Trump inside, to devote all this attention to defeat him and for the people, again, I talked yesterday on the protest, at some point, you have to start blaming the people. Yes. Whoever the shadowy figures, Jews, Freemasons, Illuminati, whoever you want to explain. Yeah, there are conspirators. They're doing it. We don't want to be controlled by them. We don't have to keep buying their stupid propaganda. I sat through all the same classes. I've watched the same shows and movies everybody else has. And so is everybody else that's awake. You don't have to accept the programming. They're not giving you forcible frontal lobotomies yet. So you can still think there's no reason to be accepting this incredibly bad, stupid, obvious propaganda. In this case, I don't care how much money anything you can ship to that district. They could bring a trillion dollars. How are you going to address this Israeli first guy, Galrain? How are you going to get people to vote for him? Now, I can understand if they come in, we all have our price, financially struggling Americans, and they come and offer $100,000 a vote. Well, okay, I can understand. I might do it.

31:32 People doing that. They're not doing that. They're not getting anything out of it. They're spending money on stupid advertising that's very obvious. And yet you're going to have me think that people are going to change their vote. Popularity won by 60 some points, I think, in last election. They're going to not vote for this guy because of this absurd propaganda. I've watched it happen, Don. The time I ran for office, I ran for the United States Congress, and I got deep into the trenches, and I understand how it works. And it's disheartening because we have a higher return rate to office than the Politburo did, the Soviet Union.

32:16 We have, like you mentioned, have a 96% incumbency rate. Well, it starts there in the primary system. Sorry, I'm getting murdered by gain of function as we speak. No, but it's true that you look at congressional districts, 800,000 people, so about 50,000 vote in the Republican primary. And what they do, the people that have the money, they will just bombard those districts with mailers, with commercials. They'll have tables and booths set up. They'll go to every outpost in the big district. And it wouldn't surprise me at all if Massey loses. And then that's probably, it won't be the end, necessarily, of his political career. He could always come back and run for Senate or something.

33:10 But it's hard to come back after a congressional loss like that. And what's happened, and what people might not understand also, is when you see outlets like The Guardian, when they release information on polling, a lot of times the big donors will go ahead and switch and start backing the other guy just because the polling's up. And you'll just see it's like there's an inertia that happens. I've watched it in real time. And you just shake your head at Republican primary voters, man. It's not always a positive outcome. Matter of fact, it's normally not. I mean, you look at Texas and you just wonder, how do we get these milk toast, cookie cutter automatons for Satan? How do we get these people that literally the Western civilization is being destroyed and mutilated in front of you? And your best response is, oh, we got to have a law protecting Israel from boycotting it. That's what they give you. That's their delivery, not protecting shop owners or people during the shutdowns and all the stuff that they had during COVID, not speech with online protection, none of that stuff. No, it's that. And so that's what you get. And that's why we're in the situation that we're in.

34:36 It won't be because somebody rigged a ballot box, okay, folks. It'll literally be because somebody that watches Fox News got a mailer that Thomas Massie said something negative about Israel. Okay, that's it. And that's all it would take. Like here in Texas, you would not win the primary. I don't care if you were outflanking the guy or the gal to the right of them and you're making everybody happy. There's a couple of issues. And if you don't have the money, we're talking millions of dollars, which is sad for a job that pays $160,000 a year. You don't spend millions and millions and millions trying to obtain it. So it wouldn't surprise me at all. I think this is a canary in the coal mine moment.

35:21 Like what else, like if you lose Massie, which he's been like the one anomaly, if you lose Massie, then why even pay attention to Congress? Does it even matter anymore? I mean, like there's nobody there that is worth it. No, that's right. That's why symbolically, this is a huge election because it's, you know, one guy, then he wins. But symbolically, it'll show that you can overcome AIPAC. You can overcome Trump and Stein and the Republican party. So it's very important symbolically, but I understand it works with the money and everything, but to me, sure. But what does that say about the mentality of these voters that they're that stupid? I mean, it's so transparent as I've been answering an ex to people saying, it's amazing that nothing was known at all about Massie's womanizing or any of this stuff. They can't stop finding pictures of other women. And he's doing all these, I mean, they're spread by Laura Loomer and people like that, that are, you know, dual citizens of Israel. It's so obvious. But, and that's why, you know, I have, I'm almost becoming an anarchist. I wouldn't mind being at some point because when you really lose faith in the people, you know, they're this stupid, because this is supposedly a precious right. And you're that dumb, that you, you know, you understand what AIPAC is. And Massie, by the way, is the first person since Robert F. Kennedy

36:54 under John F. Kennedy, that is trying to get AIPAC to register as a foreign agent. Massie's trying to do that. So again, you're an, if you're a voter that has any knowledge of politics, how can you not understand what's involved here? And now, either way, we lose, I think, Jackson, Barrett, and others, you know, talking about the obvious rigged nature of the system. It is rigged. And no one knew that they ever count the votes, honestly. And maybe they do that when they think they have to do that. But what's really sad is to think that if they're not rigging this completely, if this, if Massie loses legitimately, what does that say about his district and how dumb those voters are that overwhelmingly eloped him until this very transparent campaign against him, that any child, any kindergartner should be able to figure out what's going on there. But you know, the idea is, Cynthia McKinney was my friend, you know, was mentioned here again, somebody that was drummed out of Congress as well, because she wouldn't support AIPAC. So very important symbolically, and my son's friend, because they were involved together in Ron Paul's presidential campaign going door to door and his friend was so motivated. He wanted us to get him. He said, look, maybe it's really longer than all that I might get. I like Massie, but I'm not. So he's doing all that.

38:14 I hope he and all the others are not disappointed, but just it's disillusioning that the fact that this race is close, it says all you need to know, because it's a contest. That's so true. And then if let's say there is a positive outcome from this, Don, and Massie pulls it off, that could set up a domino effect on all these other districts for people that want to be a member of Congress and people that want to, you know, obtain office by defying AIPAC. So that may happen. I know you couldn't do it here. The reason being is because of the primary process, the primary process, and especially in places like Texas. And I bet you the audience does not know this, but let's say you're in Texas and you say, I want to run for, I want to run for Congress. And so you go and you run in the Republican or the Democratic primary and you, you know, win or don't win. Right. And then you say, well, you know, I don't agree with either one of these nominees. I'm going to go run in the general as a independent.

39:19 Guess what? You can't, you cannot get on the ballot. It's impossible that there's a law against it. If you vote or take part in a primary in the state of Texas, in either party, you can't run in the general as a candidate. They try to stop people that are movement type candidates. And if you even want to run as an independent, you have to send them a letter the year before the election stating your interest. There has to be an official letter to the election board that's in the state of Texas. So they've rigged these things and it's all about the primary process, which I think this is probably so if Massey loses and I don't, God forbid, because he's the only thing that, and I'm not even, you know, I don't follow politics much anymore. I only follow like Intel, but if I'm looking at it, I mean, that will be such a, such a blow to the psyche of like those of us who just want it to at least mention the constitution anymore or the foundations of the country or what, you know, fiscal responsibility or leadership looks like, or what peace looks like. If he's gone, then I mean, what is it about the Republican party that keeps, why does it keep harvesting us? Why do people go back to the well and keep taking part in this? I mean, there's certainly, there has to be a breaking point, Don, where there is third parties in this country, again, like legitimate ones, like not even like bigger than Ross Perot

40:53 in 92. Like there has to be like, there has to be a meeting of the minds where we just go, guys, stop it. Like it needs to, like, you got to, you got to abandon sometimes institutions in order to like create a new one or something. Like there has to be a different way. I just, this, we're beating our heads against the wall and then cursing the wall, you know, it's like, it's to me. And again, I hope he doesn't lose, but it's a story worth talking about, not for the political side of it, but for who rules you, you know, and especially the, just the rhetoric from Trump alone on this thing is so bizarre, you know, like we were supposed to get America first and all the rest of that. And that's, that ship has sailed. It's completely gone. And it's, it's, it's, it's, it's just so disillusioning. And again, that's the Republican party ought to be in tatters now. It should be completely unraveling with Trump and Stein's behavior the last year, the Epstein files, the Iran war, along with, and right after something like Massey, this China deal just adds ammunition to it, but nobody should, he's, nobody should be supporting him. Well, the people that would have voted for Jeb Bush should be supporting him because that's what he's been like. He's just more interesting and obnoxious and juvenile. But other than that, he's behaving like a typical Republican. So they should all, you know, they should all love him.

42:27 But, you know, anybody that was part of the MAGA movement, whatever that was, certainly anybody that was said America first, they should have jumped off this boat a long time ago. And that's the problem, but he doesn't seem to care because he's, he just attacks people that have done that. I mean, he, he went after the entire alt media that, that defended him and supported him. And, you know, this it's, it's, it's really shameful, but at this point, I don't know what we can do other than, you know, my friend Vince Agnelli is, is, you know, talks about, you know, going local and we do have to try to do that. I think that's all we can do to really, especially when you really need to unplug from this grain of faith, they, they institute all these data centers and they have the control grid they seem to be building and we'd really need to unplug from that.

43:15 Will we be able to? I don't know, but that's the only, cause and not participating is a great choice in terms of voting, but I, I don't really, Piper Fuqua says people are either that dumb or the vote's rigged. That's the question, Piper. I ask all the time because it's, it's what it, it really up to your choices. The fact we had the kind of people in Congress, even as we don't have choices, even people that just don't go in and say, well, okay, at least I'm going to vote. I'm going to give a thumbs down to what we have in there and vote against all incumbents. Unless you have somebody I can see it up. That should be what happened to educated voters to say, we're dissatisfied with these choices. We're all, we're just throwing out a none of the above all the time. That's why they won't allow none of the above on a ballot because in an election, none of the above would probably win. But maybe, maybe, I don't know, but, but Piper, I hope that it's rigged and I hope they're not counting the votes because if they are counting the votes and the voters were that stupid, if people are really going to the polls motivated to vote for Lindsey Graham, what, what, what Republican is motivated to vote other than Krumpenstein saying he's good or, you know, Democrats voting for Chuckie Schumer and all these horrible people in Congress, but it's been that way for decades. It's because of that primary process, Don, and you got these politicos and the way that they think. And if, if, until you go campaign and get on the ground and actually go out in these districts and then meet people who are interested in the, in the political process, a lot of them, you'll just look into their eyes

44:46 and then they want that. It's like, whatever the favors you're going to get, like, they want to be a part of the winning team. I've seen them even take on incumbents. I watched an incumbent lose to, to John Ratcliffe who's now head of the CIA. I watched it in real time and he had never held office there. And he's from Chicago and he's beating somebody who's like, you know, seventh generation Texan in a congressional district. Like how the hell does that happen? Well, he had John Ashcroft money, you know, and they, that was former attorney general who helped craft the Patriot Act. This was like, they wanted that person in there as a stepping stone. Those offices are just used as like resumes. Like they don't care like Massey does about using it for activism or awareness or just fighting for what's right, you know, for liberty. And they hate it when you use it for that, when you use it for anything good. So the voters were impressed by the, the amount of mailers that they could get. Heard them talk about it. Yeah, no, it's, it's, we, we just said, I, I don't know. I think overall, and again, I hate to say it because, you know, there's still a patriot in me, you know, I talk about the founding fathers, maybe I had blinders on with them and everything, but, and I think the ideals of America could work, but we just, we have to face it. And we, when you, when you pull out the sins of modern America and how bad we are and the

46:16 fact we haven't been in a Republic, then you're, they call you unpatriotic. And there's nothing more patriotic than pointing out the obvious. I mean, this same guy, Trump and Stein, who very rightly called out the fraud in the 2020 election, which was very obvious to see. I mean, we had video of the women, you know, taking the ballot box out from underneath the thing and they couldn't be more obvious. And of course those two women were later awarded huge amounts of money from Rudy Giuliani. That's how bad the system is. Giuliani's good, but they were just like, that Sidney Powell's not good, but these people, they were punished. And again, I don't know what part of the game that was, but just talking about the system, but then of course, 2024 comes along and another questionable election, Trump and Stein wins and all you can do is brag about how great that election was. So it's amazing, the Democrats, when it goes against them, it's fraud. And when the Republicans do, it's against them. So it's, the system is not, there are no checks and balances. They should have independent paper ballots everywhere. Electronic voting machines should be outlawed. Instead, Dominion sued everyone. That's why Parker Carlson was on Fox News. So the electoral process is horrible. People need to call it out. And you're right with the third party, we can't break through. Even when you have a huge, Robert F. Kennedy was running, you know, as an independent, he couldn't get into base, even though he was pulling over 20% most of the time. Then they just ignored his numbers and

47:47 they wouldn't let him in. Ralph Nader couldn't get in. Pat Buchanan couldn't get in. Willie Perot. And I always question why, why they let him in. I think there will be some times ahead that will facilitate at least the, it'll lay the groundwork for a real emergence. You know, the first third party in the U.S. was the anti-Massad party, you know, in the mid 1800s. And then there was another party that was called the Republican party. They, they supplanted the Whigs. And, you know, it wasn't in the Republican party. I talked about this on my show. It has its roots in, in people that supported Karl Marx. I don't know if you know that, but the Horace Greeley and the people that wrote about that were supporting Marx and the newspaper men. And they had the, it was Wisconsin. They had like this commune set up and that's where the birth of the Republican party comes from. So there, you know, and we had the populist party. Most people don't know that at the end of the 19th century was very, had a lot of power. Yeah. Who was the president that... James, James, James Weaver was the presidential candidate. But didn't they have like, they had another, like, wasn't it, wasn't it James, wasn't James K. Polk who came out and like was helping them?

49:07 Like they had a, they had a, a former U.S. president that was helping the populist party. That would have been long. That would have been 40 years, 40 years after Polk. I don't think he was still alive, but William Sannings Bryan was eventually absorbed a lot of their support when they folded and had some populism in him as well. But yeah, we, and we had, you know, something like that with the reform party. It wasn't as distinct as the pop, the populist party, but you know, that showed that there was dissatisfaction. Perot showed that. And, but again, some people forget that, you know, he, he got his start in politics by trying to destroy the reform party. Remember, he tried to stop Pat Buchanan from because of presidential candidate, which is very ironic because Pat Buchanan was, was very critical of the same free deals, very critical of our immigration policy, but of course he was critical of Israel too. So it's, it's, you know, I don't know why I'm saying I, I'm like, it's the same thing with sports. I don't know why I follow politics or sports. I'm obviously addicted. Like I might, you know, I'm on heroin or something because I can't stop myself because I'm watching, I'm a political, political junkie is a very apt term because I mean, I can't stop myself from voting at the time. I mean, it's, it's ridiculous.

50:20 I know it's all fraudulent. I know there's nobody there that's any good and I know there's no hope. I mean, I hope I'm wrong with Nancy and even if he wins, it's not, it's a moral victory and symbolic victory, but in the big picture, it's really nothing to get one good member of Congress back. But yeah, I agree with you symbolically, it will mean something that, that you can stand up to the party, but I'm just afraid they're not going to let it happen. I think if they have to, if they have to use fraud there to get the result, I think they will. Again, I don't make predictions, so yeah, I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't think things look very good. It's too close. Yeah, this is I think a test. We'll see how the elections on the 19th. So we'll see. I mean, I'm not, I'm not optimistic. I have seen how the sausage is made, so to speak in these Republican primaries. And I was left, I was left more than jaded. I was left more than jaded by the entire electoral process from it. So we'll see. I mean, maybe it's good news because I do think to defy the political structure as it is, is a duty that we all have, like at this point, I mean, it's, it's become so bad. And I'll have to look up, there was, and I have to, I'll have to go back through my notes. It was something I read from, from James Perloff on the populist party, and there was a former US president, I want to say, that was assisting this, the early formations of

51:51 the populist party. But I have to go back through, I couldn't, couldn't find it while we're on air, but a little bit of hidden history. I know you love this. Yeah, let me know, let me know who that is. I doubt it would be Polk, because Polk was the first one to, you know, really, you know, start out in indigenous war in Mexico. No, it was, maybe it was Tyler. Was it Tyler? Tyler is possible, Tyler, because Tyler, Tyler had more of that in him, I think, yeah. And maybe it was Tyler. It is a, you know, tippy canoe and Tyler too. Maybe that's what it was. Yeah, we'll have to cover that next week. Maybe I'll have a, to be continued, folks. All right, let's, let's close out with something a little different.

52:31 We've, we've covered the political, and we've covered the economic, we've covered the psyops, so let's, let's do a little bit of hidden history. And surprisingly, you hadn't heard about this. I'm going to put it on the screen here. And thanks to Harps for referencing Megadeth. It always makes me smile, Harps, thank you. I don't want to set the world on fire. Great song from So Far, So Good, So What. Great album. All right. This is the Daily Mail. A hall of records theories explode as the CIA doc mentioning Temple Under the Sphinx is found. Did you see this, Don? No, I, this is not familiar to me. The location of the ancient library believed to lie beneath Egypt's Great Sphinx has long been one of archaeology's greatest mysteries. Now a resurfaced CIA document from 1952 is reigniting speculation surrounding the legendary hall of records after a cryptic reference to a temple under Sphinx was found inside a Cold War era photographic inventory. This had a little blurb on Zero Hedge, and I, I noted it to come back to. I didn't cover it on my show, but apparently it's a 10-page CIA file dated November 20th, 1952. It's titled Presentation Form for Graphic Material and appears to catalog 11 rolls of black and white

54:07 photographic negatives taken between July and December 1950. Rather than an intelligence briefing, the document appears to be a simple archival inventory, but believers say the phrase Temple Under Sphinx stands out because it is not a standard archaeological description commonly used today. Did you ever read about this? You know, the, there's always the mysteries of the, of the Sphinx, and as we were discussing off-air, you know, Edgar Cayce predicted that under the right paw of the Sphinx, you know, and this is kind of like end times, or art, you know, the apocalyptic theory that once that's found, like it opens up world consciousness or something, and supposedly under the right paw of the Sphinx. Have you ever heard those theories, Tom? Well, I've heard some things, and certainly people have always been wondering what the, what the Sphinx means, what its significance is, and that maybe, you know, what is it there for? Is it hiding something?

55:06 And that's, that's fascinating. I have not heard that. So, you've, you've opened up some hidden history. I read a lot of books on the Great Pyramid and everything back in the day when I was reading about UFOs, and the Bermuda Triangle, and everything that was all part of the same genre, but I haven't read anything about all of the records, and I guess they mentioned the libraries. That's not the same as the Great Library of Alexandria that burned down, is it? Or is it some other great library, I guess? Yes, supposedly, and then they've done deep penetrating ground radar, like the, the, the, not, not photographs, but they've taken images of the underground of the Great Pyramids, and there's, it's like connecting open cavernous things, you know, underneath these, underneath the monuments themselves, supposedly, right? And the Sphinx always has, it does have a weird mystery to it. Like, the head is, I think, was obviously not the head of a human. Like, it was not meant to look like that.

56:06 Like, that's so disproportionate. Didn't, didn't Napoleon shoot the nose off of it? I, so yes. Okay, but there was something, there's some, it used to be something else, and then you've had the theories of water erosion that I watched when I was a kid, and Graham Hancock covered this, where it predates, like, the Sphinx supposedly predates even the Great Pyramids by, like, thousands of years. Like, another civilization put it together, so it would have, it would make sense that it had some sort of secret, and it was funny, because I thought of this, that supposedly, like, the, the philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, he wanted to have his signet ring re-carved into the Sphinx, throwing itself into the abyss, because he believed his philosophy had, like, unlocked the secrets of, of existence, and that's the, supposedly, like, the legend goes, the Sphinx is, itself, is supposed to throw itself in the abyss if you uncover its mysteries. So, there's something about, like, whatever the Sphinx is, and you always have that terminology that something is Sphinx-like, it's, like, hard to understand what it is. So, I don't know, that's pretty cool, though. I bet you, there's so much we don't know, especially, like, documents that get to the surface, and, you know, anything that's put to paper is probably the, the, the easy stuff to get to, but I wonder, you know, just looking at things that, that, that leaked after the, the JFK files that came out, that you know about after the,

57:38 the, the film came out in, in 90, 91, and then they had that data dump where you find out about Operation Northwoods, you know, stuff like that, which was an accident, like, and then, it was years later that we find out that they had, what was it, Operation Alpha 119, which was, in the 1950s, they were going to nuke the moon to show superiority over the Soviets, like, they had a real plan, and, you know, who the, who they, who they hired, Don, to, to calculate the, the velocity and the blast and everything that was going to happen on the moon, you know, they hired Carl Sagan, a young Carl Sagan was hired by the government.

58:23 Into science, though, wouldn't that, wouldn't that mess up everything? Billions of nukes on the moon, well, that's a real thing, yeah, it was Operation Alpha 119, or something like that, but, yeah, yeah, interesting, and it's funny, there's also, when you, I should cover this on Paratroopers, there's also, like, a 1983 document that the CIA had on, like, clairvoyance and other things, they had a project called MK-Often, which is not MK-Ultra, and MK-Often was, like, all the clairvoyance and stuff, they had a lot of weird stuff, so it doesn't surprise me that somebody unearthed something that may be pointing to a larger hidden history moment, so, anyway, Donald Jeffries, I don't want to keep you any longer, I'm going to wind down the show, do you want to call out anybody on the chat, or did you have anything else? I know, thanks for lots of good people there, and Jackson T.

59:15 Barrett mentioned Tina Peters, and I think, I don't, I think her son has been commuted, but I guess he's still, I'm not sure, I think she's still behind bars, or something, so that's, that's a shame, and again, somebody that Trump should have taken care of, because she, all she was doing was calling out fraud. Good to see all the usuals, Angel Blue, good to see you, Nick, Raybo, Jeannie Poole, I saw Ronda Tate in there briefly, nice to see her, Kenny Powers, of course, Peter Sikash, our friend, John Bassiglone, Kiana Kuma, Piper Fogel, I think I mentioned Stephanie Green, good to see her, Felix, good to see my friend Felix.

59:58 We have Nostradamus over in the Rumble chat, so. Oh, there you go, what does Nostradamus think about things, huh? Yeah, Jackson T. Barrett said Tina's being held until June, again, why? I mean, what is, I guess, oh, R.B. Hamm, my brother R.B. Hamm is there, good to see you, brother from Canada, good to see you, I didn't see you there before, I didn't see you there before, so, I mean, I was on his show last night and catch the rerun of the, where we talked about Trump's, trying to, trying to trip him on other things, but yeah, good to see everyone here, and it's nice being with you, Tony.

1:00:38 Yeah, nice being with you, Don, always a pleasure, just looking at the Rumble chat, and Lou G. for Liberty says, this Sphinx story has been floating for a while, Bill Cooper discussed the potential Sphinx records vault reveal by Bush Sr. that never ended up happening. Bush Sr. let us down. We'll cover reviews next week, too, folks, me and Don went a little bit long today, so if you want to leave us a five-star review, even if it's something, even if it's a criticism of me and my voice from Gain of Function, you know, the pestilence murder that I'm receiving right now, we'll definitely read it on there, so yeah, go give us a review, and I'll catch up on reviews next week, but Don, donaldjeffries.media, your sub stack, anything else you want to plug?

1:01:29 I know that's it, and I am back with X, amazingly enough, I call it a Mother's Day miracle, because I had given up, you know, tried to deal with Elon Musk, all AI support team, and they just were terrible, they wouldn't answer any questions, they wouldn't, you know, whatever part of AI that is, we have nothing to fear from that, at least, but somehow, it just worked on Mother's Day, so I call it a Mother's Day miracle, so I am back there at Don Jeffries, you can follow me then, to what degree they let you, and of course, substackdonaldjeffries at substack.com, I protest just like my weekly podcast on these same fine platforms every Friday. Yeah, always a pleasure setting your stream up on Fridays, go catch Don over on his podcast, and subscribe to the America Unplugged podcast, americanplugged.com, next week we'll have the great and powerful Billy Ray Valentine, we'll be back with us, I promise folks, it's not a true America Unplugged without Billy, you can go to my website, tony.gold, my show, the Ardburn Radio Transmission Paratrooper Podcast, and some other announcements coming soon, you need to turn some fiat dollars into actual money, we can do that as well, go to tony.gold and check it out. All right, do you want to play us out, Don, are you giving people permission to burn the place down?

1:02:51 Please, burn the place down. In celebration of Don getting his, right, that's right, I got my ex back. Thanks.
