WHO CONTROLS OUR CORRUPT CONGRESS (PT 1)

And the bums are about 90%. 90% of Congress. They got to go and we got to change the rules. But before we can do that, we got to create a moment. We have to build a threshold that’s going to rise, raise people’s temperatures, get people a little on edge and just say, hell no, we’re not going along with that anymore. And this is how we start building. Now, I’m going to give you the entire plan by the end of the day. That’s just a brief glimpse into what we’re trying to do. But we’re trying to bring right and left together because divide and conquer keeps us apart.

Black versus white, gay versus straight, Democrats versus Republicans, liberals versus conservatives. You get the idea. It’s always, you must hate them because they’re our enemy. Instead of, let’s find common ground so we can focus on the real enemy. And it’s the despots that sit in Congress that are bought out every single day at our expense. And I don’t necessarily call for a purge by throwing people in jail. I certainly don’t advocate for violence, but I am advocating for a change of personnel in a revamping of all the rules. And all that will start locally. And it will start with you as you talk to your neighbor.

Oh, gosh, he has a Biden flag in front of his house. I think maybe you got to reach out to the guy, say, yeah, I’m a neighbor. And we really have a lot more in common than would appear to be on the surface. And this is where it starts. We’re going to start with oil. But before we do, we’re going to start with gold. I’m a sponsor of noble gold and a proud sponsor of noble gold. You’ve heard my story. And you know the dollars in trouble. And you know the banks can keep your money under Dodd-Frank 2010.

And you know the federal government wants to give you a warning through me that any investments are risk. We agree. They don’t warn you about the banks. Isn’t that interesting? And the banks are a much bigger threat than any vendor out there. But here’s what I want you to do. I want you to talk to noble gold and say, can you protect my retirement? I don’t trust the bank. Can you protect my RA or my 401k? Can you protect my savings? What can you do? And realize gold is the number one investment. I want you to take a look at the number one investment from last year.

Up about 50%. This is the fact, folks. 877-646-5347, 877-646-5347. And tell them Dave Hodges told you to call. Now you walk away and go, oh, I wanted to make that call, but I can’t remember the number. Rather than repeat it again, I’ll just give you something really easy. Start here. Dave Hodgesgold.com. You can get a free 2025 investment guide. You can also leave noble gold a message. They will not push you to do anything. You literally have to close your own deal. So Dave Hodgesgold.com. If you forgot 877-646-5347. I pushed this hard and long. I really want to get your attention because we are reaching the point where people want from you what’s been your right and your wealth for a long time.

Digitization is your enemy. This is the answer to digitization. All right, we are going to jump into big oil. Let me start with an obvious fact. In one form or another, it’s estimated by many that each congressman gets an average of about $500,000 when they come into Congress. And it doesn’t stop there. Did you know that Trump gets $2.6 million? Kamala Harris got even more. So regardless of who won the election, big oil interests are going to be protected and often protected at our expense. And let me go through and tell you why we need to regulate big oil to the hilt.

And I’m not a socialist. I’m not a Marxist. But this is an out of control corporation that has always been that way for a heck of a long time, about 160 years. Let’s go through it. Rockefeller. John Rockefeller. An accountant. A brilliant one. And what he couldn’t outmaneuver with his opponents, competitors in the oil industry, they destroyed railroad tracks. Tracks ran off the tracks. People got killed. He blew up refineries, started fires in their competitors’ oil fields. That’s all documented in your history book. Your history book. As much as I’d like to keep it out. Big oil was one of the forces, probably the major force, to push President Wilson to get us into World War I.

Because we were supplying both sides. Now when the British caught our stuff going to Germany, they just commandeered through it overboard, destroyed it, set the ships on their way. The Germans didn’t have a strong enough surface fleet to accomplish that, so they had to use U-boats and they sunk the ships. Now what I always found interesting when I was a kid, I asked this question in class, excuse me, Mr. Bullock, why did we declare war on Germany for World War I over the Lusitania incident when that happened 23 months prior to our declaration of war? It’s a very good question.

That gets into politics, not in my purview. Okay. But that was the right question. Oil was having its profits majorly interfered with. I said, well, it looks like we got to go to war in oil and banking. You know, Rockefeller, right? Head of the New York Fed. Head of Standard Oil. Do I need to say more? I’m talking to David Rockefeller before his death. Do I have to say anymore? They’re interlocked and they benefit from war. They benefit from the death of our young adults. I’d say that’s pretty evil. And then we get into what was known as the Eight Point Plan, which brought us into World War II.

America was fervently isolationist. We’re not making that World War I mistake again. That was a terrible mistake. We lost way too many kids. We’re not going to go through that again. And Roosevelt said, well, we need to get into war. Give me a plan. And this guy named McCollum came up with an Eight Point Plan designed to provoke Japan to attack. Now who was the real winner in World War II? Well, it comes out in two parts. One, big oil won the war. We out produced the Germans and the Japanese combined. So they got to get credit there, but they wanted this.

And Roosevelt was acting as their agent. Directly? No, but he knew what re-election consisted of. And so the Eight Point Plan finally culminated with violating Japanese territory with our ships. We had the Flying Tigers in China where American Air Force pilots or then Army Air Corps were flying planes to fight Japanese zeros in China. The Chinese knew it. We were mercenaries because we wanted the war and this was provocation. Now the second part of this and what motivated big oil and big banking to want the war was they were told, look, you get into this war, you’ll be the balance of power.

Britain and France can’t win this. France got destroyed. Britain was being destroyed and the Nazis and Japanese were winning everywhere in 1942. So we said, okay, oil will be the winner. So will banking. The Bretton Woods Agreement basically said after World War II, the US dollar will become the world reserve currency. And nations will have to industrialize to rebuild. They’ll need lots and lots and lots of oil. But before they can get it, they must first purchase that oil only in the US dollar. That made us wealthier than anything. Going off the gold standard under FDR, it didn’t really affect us.

That then, the American lifestyle was at its height in the 1950s because of this. You say, well, that’s a good thing. Yeah. But to preserve that empire, they had to stamp out anyone who would disagree. Libya. Yeah, Libya, Qaddafi. Listen, I didn’t shed a tear when he was killed. Lockerbie, Scotland, do I need to say more? But he was a legitimate leader of a country that was giving to his people 14 cents a gallon, living high and mighty and selling oil to nations not using the US dollar. You know who those nations were? France and Germany.

So Qaddafi, he had to be taken out. Libya changed. And then we have Iraq. We got to blame Iraq for 9-11. Oh, wait a minute. I thought all 19 of the terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. When did Iraq and Saddam Hussein have to do with this? Nothing. Nothing. So the Iraq war. And who took over Iraqi oil? BP and Exxon. Who allowed that? Well, President H.W. Bush. But he could have been stopped. Now, no one declares war anymore, so I’m not blaming Congress for not demanding a declaration of war. But the reality is this. Congress could have defunded him because all money bills started in the House, not the Senate, and they could have said no more.

We’re not funding this war. And they could have stopped it right there, and they didn’t because they’re on the take from the oil companies who bribed them through gifts and campaign contributions, technically legal, but as immoral and unethical as anything. So you got the Iraq war. And oh, by the way, millions died and 5,000 Americans didn’t come home. Are you OK with that? And then you got the current situation with Ukraine and Russia. Why are we so, for example, when Russia invaded Georgia under very similar circumstances? No, no, not the state of Georgia. OK, Marjorie Taylor Greene would never let that happen.

I’m talking about the country of Georgia that separated from the old Soviet Union in the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1989, and Russia invaded them. We didn’t lift a finger. We just said, oh, kind of naughty, naughty. He tried to find a peaceful way out of this and basically gave some perfunctory comments, but that was it. So what ends up happening? Nothing. But oh, wait, wait. Russian oil is now a threat because Russia leads something called the BRICS nations, which tells nations, forget the US reserve currency dollar. Come to us. Gold is the world reserve currency now, and we’ll go buy oil anywhere we want because they got Venezuela.

Wonder why we’re surrounding Venezuela. We got Venezuela and Iran on our side. They’ll provide the oil and we move away from US dominance from being the world reserve currency. And that’s part of what’s wrong with your economy. We could absorb major debt as long as we were the world reserve currency and we’ve lost a great deal of it. So we had to get involved and make Russia bleed their oil dry. Now we’re putting pressure on India. Major tariffs. If you keep buying Russian oil, major tariffs, China, if you keep buying Russian oil, it’s all about oil, oil, oil, oil, and the world reserve currency.

And it brings in their partners in banking, in which there’s an overlap with the federal reserve in our banking institutions and big oil and then throw in the multi industrial complex military industrial complex in which big oil and banking are the biggest investors. This is why you have endless wars, people. This is why they keep making up reasons to go to war. And then you have the 2010 Gulf Oil spill. I’m of the opinion there was funny business, but we’ll leave that aside. Let’s just talk about what we can show on paper. Absolutely. You know, a few days before the spill, and of course they’re saying it’s coincidence and it may be that many companies, including BP and Exxon, did put options on their connections to the company that owned the oil well in question that failed and dumped all that oil into the Gulf.

They made a lot of money. And it was facilitated by Goldman Sachs. They did the deal. This is all public record. SEC approved. And it was within a few days that the failure happened. Now you can say it’s just an accident and accidents do happen. You do see that. But again, why does big oil seemingly benefit from everything and their related interests? I just think we should stop here just for a second and say, let’s forget all the history. Let’s just look at Venezuela. Our two stated public goals for taking out Venezuela are to end drug trafficking into the United States and we’re flexing our muscles by sinking suspected drug couriers on small speedboats blowing them out of the water.

I favor stopping the drugs. I don’t know if this is the best way to go about it. It looks brutal on its face. It looks extrajudicial, but I favor stopping the drugs. The TDA gang in America is a menace released by Maduro from Venezuelan prisons. We know that’s true. The other stated reason is Maduro was elected illegitimately. He cheated on his election and we’re going to right the wrong. Well, that’s an internal affair for a foreign country. You may have the right to stop drugs. You do not have the right to interfere under international law in another nation’s election.

That’s up to their people to deal with as bad as it was. I do believe Maduro cheated. I think there’s no question. I do believe he’s the kingpin drug dealer of Venezuela. I think that case has been proven. So I agree with our government on that point. But here’s the unspoken message. If we gain control of some proxy government that gets installed in Venezuela, who controls the oil, the most vast oil supplies in the world? Well, guess what, boys and girls, this war will benefit who? Like it always does. Banking and their interlocked interest with big oil.

Could I make it any more clear? And we’re just getting started about who controls Congress. $500,000 to each Congress person. And it just starts from there and it goes up progressively. This is why when I talk about solutions, I’ll give you a little insight as to where we’re going. I’m in favor of doing away with all corporate campaign donations. We are a government of the people, not a government of the corporations. I’m Dave Hodges. This is the Common Sense Show and we’ll see you back here again next time. [tr:trw].
