An interesting podcast segment between Joe Rogan and Patrick Bet-David is below.
For thirteen years, CTH has been assembling the data showing how everything that is swirling around the world of cultural and political events can be encapsulated with the term “the economics of the thing.” That quote is not about the applied exchanges of commerce or production, but rather another way to look at the old adage, “follow the money” and “he who controls the money.” The difference between the two statements is found with massive financial institutions purchasing the biggest shares of companies.
“The economics of the thing,” drives a key point that cultural issues, sociological fabric, and political outcomes are driven by the mechanisms of a few people who control the constructs of the economic system: essentially, control of the corporations. This is the issue behind our current reality that CTH predicted 15 years ago.
Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Larry Fink, and I would add Larry Page (Goog) and ultimately George Soros (pure ideological), form the massive financial network behind the second phrase, “There are trillions at stake.” These are the entities who control political processes. These are the entities who control politics. These are the entities who control the RNC/DNC. PBD is talking to Joe Rogan and starting to realize what President Trump is up against. WATCH:
It’s actually nice to see people starting to elevate themselves high enough to see the issues we have pointed out on these pages for fifteen years. Unfortunately, these types of awakenings and the subsequent broad sharing to a larger audience, is part of the reason why CTH has such a big target on our back.
It’s not the content that we provide for people to absorb that presents a risk to the power structure, it’s the context that we apply to the content.
The content is available widely, it is not in dispute, that is why we work diligently to provide the citations. The content is never the issue; it’s the context of taking the momentary data point and applying it as one piece of the puzzle to the larger picture that is averse to the interests of the power holders.
The Alpha/Google spiders are not crawling around with their enhanced AI looking for words, phrases or content issues. Enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given the spiders the ability to look for context. The new Alpha/Goog AI spiders are crawling the internet looking for information provided with a detrimental and accurate context. Those who are applying truthful context are the subversive voices that must be targeted. Keep this in mind.

“There Are Trillions at Stake”…
A very simple observation rooted firm in principle, if I may?
Collectivists COLLECT.
What do they collect. Money. Power. And finally people. In all times and places and eras.
What is relatively new in the larger history of the world is liberty, which resists the collectivist, whether royalty and aristocracy, or any of the totalitarian systems of thought. Collectivists are arrayed against liberty.
This is why we read about "consensus." As in medicine, or climate change, or "central" banking and "world" and "international" and the like.
I subscribed to the PBD Podcast starting about six months ago.
He and his panel are IMHO one of the best shows available streaming today.
If you have not seen PBD interviews of Alex Jones, Anthony Weiner and a few other just recently I would highly recommend.
I have been watching the JRE for years. During this recent podcast with PBD they discussed the potential for Joe to interview Trump. Prior to this Joe did not want to do it. After this I believe it will happen.
I have grown amazed a how knowledgeable Patrick Ben David is and how well he connects the dots.
Me too. He is incredibly intelligent and a great interviewer.
I guess that is why he went from growing up in Iran. Fleeing with his parents at age ten. Serving in the 101st Airborne. Went to Santa Monica College and then Harvard Business School.
Worked at Morgan Stanley and started an insurance company and now an entertainment company that eventually made him worth over 100 Million. Pretty darn good for an Iranian refugee. He is literally the American Dream. God Bless America.
Sorry, but it is still not clear just what CTH is.
CTH is sundunce’s other name. He sometimes seems reasonable but he is just another fake that likes to make things up. This poster is infatuated with him.
What do Fink, Page, and Soros have in common?
“ I have grown amazed a how knowledgeable Patrick Ben David is and how well he connects the dots.”
The same is true of Victor Davis Hanson. I’ve not listened to (actually not even eardrum of PDB). I’ll give him a listen.
I’ve known quite a few Iranian refugees with similar stories of fleeing the revolution. They have all been great people. Two were bosses. All have done well here.

“This is why we read about “consensus.” As in medicine, or climate change, or “central” banking and “world” and “international” and the like.”
Problem with “consensus” is, it doesn’t even work that well when you are just trying to decide what the family wants for dinner. It works much more poorly when you try to apply it to science, medicine, economics, or anything else that is based on real, immutable laws of nature.
To clarify much, when I read "consensus" I translate to "unanimity" and then test the assertion in question.
Since it is essentially a political term, I refuse to apply it to "science, medicine, economics, or anything else that is based on real, immutable laws of nature," as you well write.
As a small subset of this notion, it is interesting to me how political individuals and political entities (media, groups and such) are the ones to use the word which means to me "unanimity."
Like the puffer fish and peacock with its spread tail or the huff-and-puff of alphas in the wild, the display of "unanimity" is rarely the reality behind.
Best wishes.
I listened to this...Joe Rogan is getting dangerously close to going MAGA!
Hmm, so what they are really probably meaning by the phrase is “enforced orthodoxy” (whether they all really believe what they are enforcing or not).
It’s a religious manifestation, or a manifestation of an impulse that normally would be a feature of religions, but for secularists, it is subverted and popping up in other places.
Indeed.
The choices seem to come down to "believing" in 1) God through some religious tradition, 2) the State other other governance through so many ugly forms and manifestations thereof, or 3) one's own self, so minuscule in a big world.
We've seen instances of each, but the younger folks are naive and easily swayed to options 2 or 3.
"Influencers...." can be so "evangelical."
Well, young people suffer from being stuck in the materialist worldview. For many of them, it’s all they have ever known and they have never heard a cogent rebuttal. So option 1 seems irrational to them from the get-go.
So rebutting materialism is pretty much a prerequisite to “deprogramming” them, and even if you can rebut it, they will often just react emotionally instead of accepting the logical consequences.
This doesn’t get to root cause, only “somebody’s gotta break up these monopolies”. And of course we all know who that someone is - the federal gov’t. So, once again, what caused the problem is looked to to fix” the problem.
When will people with half a brain realize our greatest enemy is THE 80%+ UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND, THUS, ILLEGAL PORTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, by FAR the greatest threat to our lives, liberties, and wellbeing?????
