TRANSCRIPT
Crypto Rich: Tuesday the 7th of April, 8 o’clock in the evening UK time. Something big is going to go down. The deadline that Donald Trump set in his Easter Sunday message draws close. That’s what we’re going to talk about in this video, isn’t it, retired General Blaine Holt?
Gen Blaine Holt: Yes, and let’s remember that retired means no security clearance, not read into anything, can’t break the law that way.
Crypto Rich: No, retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt, second in command to the NATO delegation at one point for the US Air Force and involved in other military projects and stuff. So Blaine, what’s happening? What’s happening?
Gen Blaine Holt: The better question is what’s not happening? That’s the better question. We have our colonel back, the aviator, the pilot or the weapons system officer in the back of the F-15.
Crypto Rich: The first one or the second one?
Gen Blaine Holt: The second one. We got him back over the weekend and that was a huge rescue. We’re all rejoicing and very, very happy about that. But now the president is really honing in on cleaning up the last of this nonsense called the Iranian Regime.
And before anybody cries crocodile tears, which I understand is very common in Europe to cry crocodile tears for the Mullah and the Ayatollah, that Europe no less installed in 1979, let’s all remember. As we all start to look at this regime fading-out, we’re not going to be under a nuclear war threat anymore from a country called Iran. We’re not going to have state-sponsored terror throughout Europe, the United States and other places. We’re not going to be seeing the three proxies with American taxpayer cash from some Marxist future president who has a different view on life.
Those things are all off the table. And that will start, I believe, little birdies talking to me tonight, in a matter of hours from us talking about this. And I think what we’re going to see is, we’re going to see the Iranian people take back their country. And it’s orchestrated well. I don’t see us having a massive invasion force, like Iraq or Afghanistan.
But I do see us assisting this effort with American airpower, intelligence support, anything they need from us. And then ultimately, when they have control of the nation, we’ll work together to stabilize Iran. And that part will be actually a very, very pleasing duty. It’ll be great to welcome the Persians back into the world community.
Crypto Rich: OK. OK, I’m going to push back.
Gen Blaine Holt: You love to push back, and I know you’re going to. I want you to know that I anticipated your pushback, that it would happen within five minutes of the podcast starting. So just knowing that I’m prepared for your pushback, go ahead and push back.
Crypto Rich: You’ve obviously been trained very well. You’re the consummate tactician, General. In a strategic kind of way.
Gen Blaine Holt: Yeah, in a strategic kind of way.
Crypto Rich: OK, so why? Who is the United States of America to say, “Oh, Iran doesn’t get to have a nuclear weapon”? United States of America has, hold on, there’s a lot of pushbacks here, OK:
“The United States of America has lied all my adult life about every single Middle East adventure: WMD, Gaddafi being terrible and all of that, right? And just in order to justify killing people in the Middle East, people in foreign lands, this sounds to me like it’s another one of those lies. They’re saying, “Oh, these people have got nuclear weapons. We’re going to kill them because we’re American. We get to say, right?
“And then, how come Israel, you don’t go around, but you’re not, well, Iran’s bombing Israel, but you’re not bombing Israel. Israel, you’re actually giving loads of weaponry and support to Israel and they’ve got nuclear weapons. What about them? What about Pakistan? Not that I’m suggesting that you bomb Pakistan, but you’ve done nothing about them or India. They got nuclear weapons. Where do you get to pick and choose? Who’s the enemy going to be? Who gets to live or die at the drop of your bombs?
Gen Blaine Holt: These are very serious questions.
Crypto Rich: Actually, I say them flippantly, but people do have those questions.
Gen Blaine Holt: Of course they do. Of course they do. Look, the United States is not, by any stretch of the imagination, some angelic, worldly police officer that is the adjudicator of all wrongs and that we haven’t committed a few moral wrongs of our own.
Let’s go back to that wonderful sweetheart that we produced called Victoria Nuland, who orchestrated and helped with the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine and see…where that got us.
But let’s also not forget, let’s not forget that after the fall of Rome and then heading on into the Venetians and then, the little banksters and the financialists from the Venetians perfecting their art move into Holland and the Dutch East India Company, then decides that UK is ripe for the taking. So in 1688, they displace King James. They take over the Crown and the City of London is born. And these represent the 13 darkest, nastiest, most evil people on the planet.
And a little country that comes out of nowhere in 1775, because there were upstart colonists who said, “You know what, we want a different deal. And we have this thing called the Constitution of the United States of America, which for all its warts and attacks still stands today.”
And so what I would say is in a dark, nasty sewer of a casino called Planet Earth, go ahead and tell me the better deal that you’re going to get, right now, today. Go ahead. I’ll listen.
But I’ll argue it to the death – unless maybe you have a handle on the four towns and you know what Mao’s Little Red Book is about in China – or maybe that you didn’t pay the proper racketeering money in the little suburb outside of Moscow. And now, your entire family is dead because you didn’t play ball. You know, maybe those are better forms of government that we should start paying attention to.
But in a world of very, very complicated, realpolitik that goes back for centuries, not that we teach our kids history anymore, because their history starts the moment they turn on a smartphone screen. We have very, very serious consequences and circumstances, out of massive sins that the United States is complicit in helping create, if you go back to the Cold War, if you go back to the end of World War II.
But behind all of it, Rich, what you’re going to find is the True War. And President Trump has taken that war up. Iran-Israel is simply a battlefield on that war.
This is a war against the Globalists. This is a war against the folks who want complete and utter domination and control of this world, its resources and everything. And if you don’t believe me, maybe you haven’t read the latest minutes of Larry Fink’s wonderful World Economic Forum, where they have decided, “Hey, we can tokenize everything on this planet and take everything on this planet. And maybe there’s too many people on this planet. And once AI, quantum and robotics get together, we’ll really be able to lock things down.”
If you think that’s not a fight worth taking, well, go ahead and throw more rocks at the United States. But I don’t think Mark Rutte, carrying the European banner into Washington, DC tomorrow and calling President Trump “Daddy” is going to work this time. I think that’s going to fall apart. In other words, we’re at a point of inflection in this globe. We’re at a historic moment. We are. And you can hate President Trump and you could hate the United States of America. And that’s not going to change whether you have a gallon of gas in your car tomorrow. It’s not going to change whether you’ve got a stick of corn to eat on your plate tonight.
So, what we have to do is see the world as it is, not as it isn’t or stand up and decry, “There is no fairness. They’re not bombing Pakistan! They’re not bombing Egypt! Where are the bombs for South Africa?”
Plus, I think we’re out of bombs, really. So I think we’re going to have to find new ways of doing stuff. Winston Churchill said, “Well, gentlemen, we’re out of money. So now, we’ll have to think.” I would really love a world where we started to think part first.
Crypto Rich: That’s a really good point. And this is not an invitation for any country to go bombing any other country. In fact, if you’re opposed to that, go to notaxforwar.com, right? Where you can legally withhold your taxes in the UK as a protest against war, plus other things this government doing.
OK. I’ve been thinking about this, right, because I don’t want people dying. I know you don’t want people dying either. Right. You’ve seen what it’s like up front. You’ve lived it. I know it’s horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible. And I was thinking about the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the Mujahideen’s struggle to get rid of this imperial oppressor. And I suspect many, many people in the West, certainly in the United States and in Europe, which is the West, supported the Mujahideen in their struggle against the of a colonizer.
I think the challenge that we have, here is that the the entity, the agency that’s colonizing the entire globe is in the shadows. But a lot of the conflict is taking form as kinetic and it’s very obvious and people don’t get to see the ghosts or the or the fleeting shadows that are being attacked. It’s a little bit like, I suppose, like ‘Ghostbusters’, perhaps. Maybe that’s a better analogy.
Donald Trump comes in with his plasma blasters or whatever. Right. And people can’t say –
Gen Blaine Holt: I think I think you make such a good point, here. You’re so correct. But this is one of the strengths of the enemy in this Fifth Generation Warfare environment; is that they operate in nuance. They operate in worlds of plausible deniability, with co-opted intelligence agencies – not all of the agency, parts of their agency – and they work together and they’re very determined and they’ve been very patient.
Psychological operations, information operations, financial operations, framing extortion, blackmail. These are all the tools. And they also own the mainstream media arms. So how is how easy is it when you start to see the bombs fly to create a Color Revolution someplace, watch a new president come in and then throw it on him like a bucket of paint and say, “He did this.”
This this has been what’s happening. And so where I’m where I’m very gratified, where I think there’s great hope for the camouflage to fall off these operations and to be laid bare by sunlight is is to see the actions that have recently stemmed out of this most recent battlefield and then look at the absolute contrast, when we look at the war in Europe between Russia and Ukraine; well over two million dead, now.
And we look at what’s happened in Iran. Well, we’re not expending a whole pile of weapons. And before we get all upset about the United States just bringing in the bombers and dropping a lot of bombs, I want you to use your critical thinking skills and think and I’m not talking just to you, Richard, I’m talking to everybody:
“What does it look like in a world where President Trump does not bomb Iran and the nuclear facilities in June? What does Israel do, in that instance?”
In other words, some of these things are about collaring Israeli politics and Israeli designs on what they saw the solution for Iran being, which I can tell you would have been a lot more aggressive than where we find ourselves today. In fact, we see the misalignment in strategies when they go and take out a petrochemical factory and we’re like, “What are you doing?”
So, where we see the camouflage in Europe fall off with the Globalists is, “You can’t use Diego Garcia, you can’t use the American bases in Glasgow.” Italy: “You can’t use Sigonella.” Spain: “No overflights for your tankers here, not going to use Rota.”…France: “Not going to use our airspace.” Macron saying, “We need to rally NATO leaders against the United States.”
Well, listen here, you little freaks. And you little Globalist urchlings that were hatched with silver spoons in your mouths out of the World Economic Forum, those bases that you’re not letting us use? Well, we fought and paid for those bases with American blood, when we freed Europe, when we liberated Europe, when we didn’t have to, when we sent 19,000 of our own on the beaches of Normandy.
So we can all throw rocks at the US, we can all throw rocks at how terrible it is that we’re clearing up the Strait, so that the Europeans can have gas and the fertilizer can make it to Africa, so they can grow food to export into European grocery stores. What we would say is just a simple “thank you” will do.
And so, what I like is that the veneer is all gone. We see it for what it is. We see it for what it is. We see very well-heeled aristocrats that are despondent and desperate, that have for too long, now been able to control the world’s strongest military superpower and the strongest tax base on the planet and wield it in any way that they wanted – and then say, we’re the ones doing it.
Well, they’ve had their agents here. They’ve had their Victoria Nulands. We’re at a point where it’s either going to change or at least, we’ll know who our shadowy overlords are, because we’ll see them clearly.
Crypto Rich: I’m listening to you and I’m thinking about it’s the empire in the shadows. That’s what’s being defeated. And then also, Blaine, this may not make sense to you. And it might make sense to some viewers and some others not. I’m actually dealing with a family right now where there’s the perpetrator of domestic abuse. Very, very smart guy.
He’s really, really smart. And he’s completely convinced this mother’s family and friends that he’s the goody and I’m going in very, very carefully because I want to protect the mom and the child. But what the mom is dealing with from her family and friends is “Why are you doing this?” Because they don’t get to see his perfidy. They don’t get to see when he puts his hands around her neck or when he pushes her and she falls down the stairs and ends up concussed.
Right? But I get to see that. So then I got to go in and disrupt it. So it’s a bit like, I suppose, as a fractal of what’s happening here, where we have the perfidy of the British Empire, the City of London. And Iran and Israel locked in this conflict, that the City of London stokes to profit from, as really well articulated in Vivify Mariposa’s Substack article, who, by the way, did a video with me and is going to be going on Dangerous Intellectuals podcast as guest very soon. So do watch out for that.
And then, the Europeans, the liberals are like this, are like the family of the victim. Like, “What’s going on here? Why are you doing this?” Because the oppressor is so nice. They don’t see the oppressor in the shadows. And then, I got to go in and disrupt it. So maybe Trump’s a social worker!
Gen Blaine Holt: You know, I’ve seen the president in many different roles. That is not one of them.
Crypto Rich: Well, he’s going in. There’s this really abusive setup and he’s going to go in and disrupt it and say, “Look, this cannot continue.”
Gen Blaine Holt: Yeah, that’s right. And you may not like him, but that’s all we got, right now. Yeah, that’s what we got. So we’re in execution. You don’t get to change it, once you’re in execution. This is now going forward.
But I think you said something very interesting. And honestly, I think you are on the cusp of a metaphor. And the metaphor is this stage and it’s a theater and it’s a deadly theater with lots of blood that flows everywhere. So it’s a very real theater.
And it’s these folks who have gussied themselves up in private jets, the richest clothing, the crescendo of schools and degrees and castles and and global bodies coming together around foolish, foolish things like Climate Change crap and convincing everybody of it, because of the way they set the stage.
The set matters, having the lights the right way, having the right – we do this in Davos because this is the credibility. This is the smartest people in the world coming around. And honestly, I’ve been around these people. And when you’re around them, you’re like, “You guys are not that smart.”
It’s a stage that many of the world have bought into and have bought into its legitimacy. But the reason that they did, I believe, over time is that stage, just looking at the World Economic Forum alone – not the Bretton Woods stuff, but going to there – this goes back to 1971.
And over time, you institutionalize something simply because it’s there again this year. Munich Security Conference, it’s there again this year. I guess it’s credible. So whatever said there must be credible.
But but when you start to tear it all back, then you start to look at the ugliness that’s behind the stage, like the Color Revolutions, the one I was involved in in Kyrgyzstan – that I didn’t know was a color revolution, at the time – the Maidan Square thing. And then you start to walk through history and you go, “These people have been burning down things since 1,500 years ago, and they’re just learning new methods of burning down things.”
Well, the reason that people like Vivify write articles like this and we do these podcasts for folks who can take that walk through history, can see things for what they are, have maybe been experienced on some of their battlefields, understand how important this war is.
And I’m not going to sit here and tell you America is going to lead the way and we’re the Shining City on the Hill. I’m going to tell you that, over our 250 year history, we have some very, very dark spots. We’ve got some very, very bright ones. And if we can alleviate the world of these 13-plus families that have trillions in wealth, endless resources and power, and release their grasp on closing the deal with things like CBDC, social credit scores, “You go to prison if you say the wrong thing in a social media post” – I know that would never happen – then, America will have done a great service to this world. Then we will have.
But Iran-Israel, nothing but a battlefield in a global war, because this is a global war.
Crypto Rich: Yeah, a global war against the emperies that have ruled for hundreds of years. Their day has comeuppance is here, right?
Now, the other thing to acknowledge is that Israel is taking a beating, from the little that I’m getting, from what I consider to be reliable news sources, like Xoaquin Flores’s Telegram channel, @New Resistance on Telegram, that Israelis are leaving en masse. It’s no longer safe. This festering sore, this military outpost that the British deposited in the Levant to keep people fighting each other. That’s going to go by the by.
Gen Blaine Holt: Yeah. I have said this so many times. I have so many friends in Israel. I can tell you that after this part is over, just like we, in the United States have got to go back to the rubble of 9/11, they’ve got to go back to October 7th, and they’ve got to go ask the right questions about how that day was even possible.
Then, they’re going to have to walk through the autopsy of how it was handled, what the actions were, and it’s going to be a very difficult thing for them all to face. And face it, they must. In my nation here, face it, we must. We’ve got to go back to 9/11 and we’re going to have to walk back through that rubble, and we’re going to have to conduct a proper autopsy, because covering up and redacting the 9/11 Commission is not called accountability. But there’s enough out there. If you’ll do the research, that you can vacate the mainstream narrative, just like the Israelis can vacate the mainstream narratives around October 7th.
I don’t begrudge Israel, at all. I don’t begrudge that state, in the least. That was a horrific day, I understand it, but they’ve got to ask some internal questions about this.
Crypto Rich: They were victimized by their own government, I believe, they set it up. How do you think this is going to play out?
Gen Blaine Holt: Well, if all goes well, and I think it will, but it could be rough. We may see some terror cells in Europe and the United States pop off.
Because, let’s remember, the IRGC, they’re True Believers, if they view that it’s over for them, then what’s to stop them from martyring themselves in the most glorious way through some terror event or whatever. So don’t think that just because you’re cutting the head off the snake doesn’t mean that the snake doesn’t still have bite in it. It does.
And so we could see the next few days, the next week, two weeks be rough. But then, once that gets done, then I think we’re going to see something really wonderful emerge. We can see an Iranian people that are greatly relieved. We’ll welcome, I think, our country, and as liberators to help them stabilize, to help walk them into the world community.
I think there’ll be a lot of opportunity. I think you’re going to see China and Russia very pleased that stabilization is happening in the Straits. I think we’re going to have to make a concerted effort, because we’re losing the growing season or the planting season now, in Africa.
We’re going to have to really come together, as a world community and start addressing the precursors to famine that I see globally, right now. I see it in my country. I see it all over and the Straits doesn’t make it easier.
I think we’re also going to see problems with the supply chains on electronics. We need those electronics. It’s not just about a smartphone in your hand. It’s about a medical device that could save somebody’s life. And so, we’ve got to restore things.
And then, I’ll tell you what’s not going to go away is our focus on getting the Ukraine-Russia conflict behind us. But maybe the absolute thrashing that the European leaders are about to take from President Trump, maybe that’s the key to ending that war. Because right now, President Trump does have the legal authority to pull us out of NATO. And I think he is going to put those knives right in front of Mark Rutte tomorrow when those two gentlemen meet.
And one of those knives is going to be, you know, “The war is over. And so you’re now going to follow my leadership in that war being over.” And if they don’t want to, well, then we really won’t be a part of NATO. And then, you get what you get.
Crypto Rich: OK, there is so much that is happening as a outcome or a side effect of this conflict that you and I are both very happy about. The destruction of the US bases in the Middle East, so they won’t be there anymore. They’re not viable. And also the…
Gen Blaine Holt: Well, not destruction, we’ll just leave them. I mean, we won’t have a need to be there.
Crypto Rich: Yeah, the US won’t come back. And then also Israel being put down a peg or two. And NATO, the US out of NATO, NATO being completely diminished. Yes, dear God.
OK, Blaine, thank you so much. Please do check out Dangerous Intellectuals, his podcast, check him out on X. He will be back very, very soon.
And watch out for his interview with Vivify Mariposa, whom you can find on X and on Substack.
This is Rich and Blaine signing out. All the best. Bye-bye.
