The Sunday afternoon podcast with Greg Reese

According to the Brookings Institution’s analysis of carbon tax timing, high fossil fuel prices are the worst time to impose a carbon tax, but are the best time to build the underlying market architecture. And that infrastructure is rapidly being built and deployed by the biggest multinational corporations, governments and states, and the United Nations — especially in the past few months.Announced at Davos in January 2026, the carbon market platform EcoGuard automates the full carbon credit lifecycle. The carbon market is expected to reach $5 trillion by 2035. This infrastructure is designed to be “invisible and ubiquitous” — the goal is for every transaction, settlement, and data point to be managed behind the scenes so that the user is not aware of it.Also at Davos last January, Palantir CEO Alex Karp said that AI “will destroy humanities jobs,” and described a future in which high school students train for factory jobs, no one goes to college or immigrates, and black-box software run by major government contractors determines whether society is being run properly.For the more compliant, the so-called 15-minute city, smart city, and freedom city models are being built to incorporate digital ID, carbon tracking, and population monitoring. Where you live, how far you travel, and what your carbon footprint is are already being tracked in multiple countries and several US cities. For the non-compliant, the prison business is booming. Federal and state governments have announced over $2 billion in new prison construction in the past year alone — and the private sector dwarfs that. ICE’s detention budget quadrupled when the One Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law in July 2025, adding nearly $11.25 billion to their coffers every year through 2029. An ICE director said he wanted a detention system that runs “like Prime, but for human beings.”And in order to keep the compliant managed and the non-compliant contained, we have Palantir, which received a no-bid contract from the USDA to track federal employees’ return-to-office compliance with “real-time analytics” and “continuous compliance monitoring.” The contract also includes the initiative, which will give Palantir a unified database of the land holdings, conservation practices, insurance claims, and financial data of every farmer who interacts with the USDA. This is the same Palantir that is proudly assisting the United States and Israel in targeting operations against civilians across the Middle East.Palantir CEO Alex Karp published The Technological Republic in February 2025. It became an instant New York Times #1 bestseller and has been described as “the AI manifesto inspiring Keir Starmer’s government” by The Times of London. Karp’s central argument is that the state must merge its power with Big Tech — as it did during the Manhattan Project — to “save Western civilization.” The original 1930s technocracy movement, of which Elon Musk’s grandfather was a member, declared that “technocracy stands ready with a plan to salvage American civilization, if and when democracy can no longer cope with the inherent disruptive forces.” Palantir is currently deployed by the Department of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, the FDA, the CDC, and the NIH, and is in discussions with the IRS and the Social Security Administration.The Bank for International Settlements has been quietly publishing frameworks for CBDC interoperability that would allow all national digital currencies to communicate with each other under a unified settlement layer. Sam Altman’s Worldcoin project is building a worldwide biometric identity system with the stated goal of distinguishing humans from AI agents at scale. It already operates in dozens of countries.The new system is falling together in pieces: a digital ID to fight fraud, a stablecoin for faster payments, carbon tracking for transparency, and AI for government efficiency. Our driver’s licenses become our digital wallets, and our level of compliance can determine how much access we have to them. There appears to be very little pushback — and soon, it may seem to be the only option available to avoid total collapse. This is a public episode.

On average, the United States has been starting wars with other nations once every ten years since its founding. And during this same time, Iran hasn’t started any. Foreign interest in Iran during the modern era began in the early Nineteen-Hundreds with the Anglo-Persian Oil company. The British Crown became dependent upon Iranian oil, and the people of the Middle-East were subjected to a century of betrayals, strategic deception, and psychological operations. In 1921, Britain overthrew the Iranian government. During World War II, both Britain and the USSR invaded Iran to steal their oil. In 1953, Britain and the USA overthrew the Iranian government.After 9/11 was carried out by the USA and Israel, Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were blamed, assets of Western intelligence agencies, and the foreign Zionists then began a campaign of mass murder in the region that has so far amassed a death count in the millions. And when Zionist forces occupied Iraq, the Iranians knew they were coming for them, and so they prepared accordingly.Less than 48 hours before the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28th, the United States had just concluded their most productive round of nuclear negotiations in years, and had agreed to meet again in four days. The independent mediator announced that a peace deal was within reach and said Iran had agreed it would never have nuclear material to create a bomb. Iran had offered full IAEA access to its nuclear sites. Iran offered to down-blend its highly enriched uranium stockpiles to the lowest possible level and convert them into irreversible fuel. Technical talks were scheduled for the following Monday in Vienna. And a fourth round of political negotiations was scheduled within the week. But forty-eight hours later, Trump and Israel launched an attack on Iran. The initial strikes included the nation’s leader, and a hundred and seventy-eight Iranian school girls, who were murdered by the US with a double strike of Tomahawk missiles.The so-called, Army, Navy, and Air-Force that Trump brags about completely destroying, were decoys meant to help waste US/Israeli munitions. Iran has clearly been paying attention to the Zionist protocols of war, and have developed a deterrent that secures their sovereignty. The real military is underground.A massive city of tunnels has been built beneath the entire country, with a stockpile of missiles to rain down daily for years. This underground city is well beyond the depth for the US and Israel’s bunker busters, and it seems to have an endless amount of launch sites throughout the entire nation.Their weapons systems are all custom made to defeat the Zionist war machine. Thousands of drones launched in swarms to overwhelm defense systems. Missiles with no fins upon reentry, making it harder for radar to get a lock. Missiles that steer away from predicted flight paths to evade interceptors. Missiles that deploy several other warheads that evade interceptors. And hypersonic missiles fast enough to evade modern air defense systems. Iran is having so much success that on March 21st they launched a single strike against Israel’s nuclear facilities at Dimona and hit the target in an impressive show of force that sent a clear message; Iran can now target Israel’s nukes at will.One of the most striking things about Iran’s campaign has been their transparency. They have been announcing their actions and targets and following through to their word, which stands out in stark contrast to the US/Israeli method of war; deception and terror.Iran’s real Navy is underground as well, and designed specifically for this war. They have thousands of Unmanned Surface Vehicles that operate as swarms and are equipped to take down any ship in the Gulf no matter how massive. After decades of being exploited and playing nice, Iran has effectively Nationalized the Straight of Hormuz, which has always been their home.Iran has been planning this since 2003, they have enough munitions for years and are continuing to produce more underground. The US and Israel on the other hand, are already running out. Iran has made it clear, they will not submit to the Zionist threat, and they will tank the world economy if they need to, which is well within their ability at any moment right now.

Despite having the world’s most powerful navy, the United States cannot force the Strait of Hormuz open, which every US military expert knew would be closed if Iran was attacked. This is why the US Navy is miles away. And it is why America’s NATO Allies are refusing to participate.The Iranians may have suffered the brutal Shock & Awe of the United States military, but they have been preparing for decades, and as the US is already running low on weapons, Iran has plans for a long term asymmetrical war, a defensive fight for their very existence. Iran has the moral high ground and they are holding practically all the cards.By his own admission, Trump expected a quick, decisive victory. He ignored warnings from experts, and instead, listened to his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.With a smile on his face, the President of the United States has said that it’s fun to kill the Iranians, and that they are genetically inferior. By any historical standard, America has never had a president speak in such a manner. It has been confirmed that the United States has murdered almost two hundred school girls with Tomahawk missiles fired at an elementary school. Trump said he can live with it, and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, said there would be ‘no quarter, no mercy’.While ongoing US-Iran nuclear talks were taking place in Geneva, Israel launched major airstrikes against Iran, followed by the US. Iran and the US began negotiations again in Geneva early last February, and Iran agreed to degrade its nuclear stockpiles. Two days after negotiations ended, Trump attacks Iran. Deceptive diplomacy has been used to attack Iran twice in the past year, it would be unreasonable for them to trust anything that the US and Israel have to say. And it only encourages Iran to develop nuclear weapons, which they have yet to do.During the Korean War, the United States targeted the civilian population, killing approximately 20% of them, and destroyed nearly every major city in a “scorched earth” strategy, which included targeting dams to destroy the agricultural economy. This resulted in North Korea developing their own nuclear deterrent, a predictable outcome to an existential threat. And Trump recently admitted what the whole world already knows, that Israel has their own nuclear weapons. So why on Earth would Iran not want to build their own?The US Director of National Intelligence, Joe Kent, just submitted his letter of resignation. He wrote Trump that, “It is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful lobby.” and illustrated how, “Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands.” He ended his resignation by writing, “I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.”On the subject of Israel, the US public discourse has changed dramatically. How this can overcome AIPAC’s influence over an Epstein-compromised Congress is yet to be seen. But our founding fathers would certainly argue that a government of criminal child rapists should be abolished rather than allowed to drag the entire world into chaos and war.Trump is not known for being a reasonable man when it comes to humility, and as Alexander Dugin recently wrote, “Trump’s now totally free. Nothing can destroy his reputation more than it is destroyed already. No publication of Epstein files concerning his alleged criminal actions can make his image worse.” This is a public episode.

According to Hebrew scripture, the 35 acres of land in southeast Jerusalem known as, the Temple Mount, was originally a threshing floor for processing grain and was purchased by King David for the purpose of building an altar. The First Temple was built around 957 BC, stood for nearly four centuries, and was destroyed in 586 BC. It was this First Temple, Solomon’s temple, which became the symbolic importance of the Temple Mount.The Zohar and Kabbalah describe how the demon Asmedai taught Solomon how to control demons, which is how he built the Temple. The legend of King Solomon is arguably the foundation of all Western occultism. Compiled in the 17th century from ancient sources, The Lesser Key of Solomon features a catalog of 72 demons, each with a name, a specific set of powers, and a unique symbol so that one can call upon them as Solomon once did. This tradition of demonology continued on famously with Aleister Crowley in the 20th century, and can be seen in the highest levels of Western government today.The Second Temple was built around 516 BC, and was destroyed by Rome in 70AD. The Romans then built a temple to Jupiter on the site, the city was renamed, and Jews were forbidden entry. After the Roman Empire transformed into the Holy See, the Temple Mount became a garbage dump, until 637AD, when the second Caliph of Islam conquered Jerusalem and reportedly cleared the area of refuse with his own hands. Decades later, the Al-Aqsa Mosque was constructed, and still stands today. In 1099, the armies of the Crusade captured Jerusalem, and for nearly a century, the Al-Aqsa Mosque became headquarters to the Knights Templar, until 1187, when Islam recaptured Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque was restored to Islamic worship.Cyrus Ingerson Scofield was a disgraced lawyer accused of forgery and fraud, who abandoned his wife and children, and went on to become pastor of the First Congregational Church in Dallas, Texas in 1882.In 1896, Theodor Herzl published Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) which argued that Jews constituted a nation and required a state of their own.Cyrus Scofield received financial support from Samuel Untermeyer, a prominent Jewish Zionist and Scofield’s connection to the wealthy lifestyle of the Lotus Club in New York City. In 1909, with the prestige of Oxford University Press, a reference Bible was published with Scofield’s own notes printed in the same physical space as the biblical text itself. An ideal format to psychologically fool the reader into thinking these radical ideas are sacred text. Radical ideas such as, in order for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to arrive, a specific sequence of events must occur: the modern return of Jews to the land of Israel, the rise of a world dictator, the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the construction of the Third Temple of Solomon in its place.In 1917, after the British conquered Palestine, Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent a letter to Lord Walter Rothschild, a Zionist leader of the British Jewish community and member of the Rothschild banking family. The letter stated: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” The League of Nations formally granted Britain the Mandate for Palestine in 1920, and on May 14, 1948, the United Nations planted the official flag of Israel into parts of Palestine, forcing about 700,000 locals to leave. After the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel conquered more of Palestine, including East Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. That same year, the ‘New Scofield Reference Bible’ was published, and evangelical grifters hailed it as prophetic.The Scofield Reference Bible became arguably the single most influential religious text in American Protestantism after the Bible itself. It shaped the theological formation of generations of pastors and evangelists. By the mid-20th century, millions of American evangelical Christians had been shaped by a theological worldview in which the modern State of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and in which opposing Israel’s territorial claims is the equivalent of opposing God.

The first commercial oil well was established in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania, USA. By 1900, about 94% of the world’s oil came from the USA and Russia. During that same time the British Empire was known as the “workshop of the world,” and was powered by massive domestic coal reserves. They controlled about 25% of the Earth’s land surface and population, but produced less than 0.5% of the oil. This became a major dilemma for the British Navy if they were ever to switch from coal to oil.In 1901, a 60-year lease of 500,000 square miles in Persia was bought by a British millionaire. With the support of the British government, this area, known for having oil seeps since antiquity, was surveyed for oil deposits by British explorers. On May 26, 1908, British explorers struck oil in Masjid-i-Suleiman.In 1909, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was founded. In 1911, Winston Churchill converted the Royal Navy from coal to oil, and in 1914, the British government bought 51% of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. Persia was now strategically vital to the British Empire.In 1915, the British promised Arab independence in exchange for their help fighting the Ottomans, but later excluded Palestine from the deal.In 1916, Britain and France secretly claimed their own Middle East territories. The French Zone was Syria, Lebanon, and southeast Turkey. The British Zone was Jordan, Iraq, and Haifa. And the International Zone was parts of Palestine.In the Balfour Declaration of 1917, Britain promised “a national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine.In 1920, the League of Nations granted mandates of Iraq and Palestine to Britain, and Syria and Lebanon to the French. Leaders loyal to foreign governments were installed. New arbitrary borders were created that ignored the geography and divided ethnic and tribal groups. These new artificial boundaries served only the West for pirating oil fields and creating a deep divide among the locals.With a coup d’etat in 1921, British intelligence installed Reza Khan as the Shah in 1925 and founder of the Pahlavi Dynasty.Under British mandate administration, increased Jewish immigration and land purchases led to the formation of Jewish militias and the Palestinian uprising, which was suppressed by British troops.During World War II, both Britain and the USSR invaded Iran to steal their oil. Reza Shah was forced to abdicate, and his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was installed.In 1948, the United Nations officially created the state of Israel, and those who had lived there for generations were forced off the land or slaughtered. Approximately 700,000 Palestinians were displaced through a combination of flight, expulsion, and violence, an event Palestinians call the “Nakba”, or Catastrophe.Democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, taking Iran’s resources back from foreign invaders. And with another coup d’etat in 1953, the CIA and MI6 overthrew him and strengthened the Shah’s authority.All of this chaos created by foreign invaders caused an anti-Western sentiment that greatly contributed to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini, who does have the appearances of being a British MI6 agent.If the son of Mohammad Reza Shah, Reza Pahlavi, is installed as the new leader of Iran, it is just the latest act of criminal theater perpetrated by the thieves who sway world governments.

As a promising young astrophysicist, during the Stalinist purges of the Soviet Union , Nikolay Kozyrev was sent to the Russian Gulag in the Arctic, where he reportedly developed his unconventional ideas about time. Ten years later, he was released, returned to science, and achieved his most significant work.Kozyrev proposed a theory he called “torsion field theory”, which postulated that time is an active physical substance with measurable properties that can vary, including density and flow rate. He said that time interacts directly with consciousness, sending energy and information, and he believed that curved reflective forms could focus or reflect this temporal energy. This led to the construction of a physical device consisting of polished aluminum sheets arranged in a cylindrical, spiral, or parabolic curve, large enough to enclose a seated human subject so a person can sit inside the structure. The organic geometry was chosen to reflect the torsion fields of a person’s light body.One or more subjects would sit inside these Kozyrev mirrors, isolated from external stimuli, and asked to simply observe their inner experience. The subjects reported altered states of consciousness, they experienced remote viewing, had visions of distant locations, made contact with other entities, and some shared telepathic experiences with each other, including the transmission of information.During the Kaznacheev experiments conducted at the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Siberia during the 1990s and 2000s, these experiments were conducted above the polar circle, where the plasma of aurora events seemed to directly interact with the Mirror installation. The researchers specifically argued that proximity to the auroral oval, where aurora activity is concentrated, was experimentally significant because the plasma activity provided conditions that enhanced the effects they were observing. During high auroral activity periods, subjects in the Kozyrev mirrors experienced more clarity and specificity in their visions and psychic connections.The researchers proposed that the Plasma being continuously fed into our environment by solar wind is a state of matter that carries structured information into our world, and into our consciousness. And the Kozyrev Mirrors act as a sort of amplifier for this information.The mirror reflects not just light, but future light, something Kozyrev discovered when he pointed his telescope ahead of Andromeda’s visible position, where he received a signal that was traveling faster than light.Ulrike Granogger is an Austrian researcher and science journalist who works in the area of Consciousness, anomalous physics, and Parapsychology. In 2005, Granogger met with researchers of the Kozyrev Mirrors, to help humanity access this network of intelligent intercommunication. She proposes that there are multiple dimensions of conscious reality, and warns that the global gravitational wave antenna network could be used for mass consciousness manipulation. Her solution is aligning with higher dimensional thought forms and language, and she points to The Discourse on the Eighth and Ninth, found in the Nag Hammadi library, as an ancient description of multi-dimensional travel with the human light body.Granogger has also built a Kozyrev Mirror in an underground location in Switzerland, and with the help of the Solari Report, will be continuing research into this important phenomena. They are now seeking additional donors to help continue the project, and are inviting over a dozen patrons to join them in Switzerland for a “Meet & Greet” and an opportunity to experience the underground Kozyrev mirror.Nikolay Kozyrev wrote that, “Telepathy always depends on the density of time. When we can make time dense at will, we can make telepathy happen when we want it.” This is a public episode.
