Carbadox, a drug given to pigs in U.S. farms, is a known carcinogen that international experts declared unsafe at any level of exposure Even though the FDA has acknowledged carbadox's risks for decades, industry pressure and regulatory delays have allowed it to remain on the market Other countries, including Canada, Brazil, the U.K., Australia, and the entire European Union, banned carbadox years ago, leaving American consumers exposed to risks considered unacceptable elsewhere A study found no carbadox residues in limited pork samples tested, but most producers refused to disclose whether they still use the drug, highlighting a lack of transparency and oversight You can protect yourself by avoiding pork due to its linoleic acid content, or by choosing responsibly raised pork, supporting humane farming, and signing petitions to pressure regulators and companies to end carbadox use

MIGRANT WOES CONTINUE THROUGHOUT EUROPE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war continues as before. Following Israeli strikes in Lebanon a few days ago, more significant airstrikes were reported in southern Lebanon overnight. Yesterday evening the Israeli Knesset voted to annex the West Bank, a move which has drawn slight criticism from the United States due to the war continuing to widen after the ceasefire was broken last week. SECSTATE Marco Rubio condemned this vote and VP Vance stated that Israel will not be allowed to annex the West Bank.Italy: A man was arrested on Tuesday after attempting to kidnap a child from a stroller near the train station in Bologna. Local authorities state that the man, who is an illegal immigrant from Gambia, approached a family on the sidewalk and attempted to grab their newborn child from their stroller. After local citizens fought back against him, he fled the scene before being arrested later in an adjacent park. The suspect has not been identified due to allegedly being a juvenile, but locals did state that he was an asylum seeker living at the local migrant housing complex near the attack site.-HomeFront-California: The driver of a semi truck who caused a fatal pileup on I-10 yesterday has been arrested. Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was arrested on multiple counts after the crash, including DUI. 3x people were killed during the crash, and 4x others wounded.Analyst Comment: Singh was illegally in the United States after walking over the southern border in 2022. After being initially detained, he was released into society by Customs and Border Patrol due to the catch-and-release open-border policy at the time.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Ireland, the situation remains as tense as expected. One of the major issues with discerning the truth regarding events on the ground is the now-infamous Online Safety Act, which has been adopted by the European Union as the Digital Services Act (DSA) This is more or less the EU copying Starmer's homework and bringing the Online Safety Act to most of Europe. The DSA and the local regulations put into effect by the Irish government (most notably the chairman of the media commission Jeremy Godfrey) have resulted in a lot of the footage of protest activity being banned from being seen from Irish IP addresses. Users on X for example, have noted that their content is banned from view in Ireland, even content that is benign in nature but related to protest activity. This means that either the Irish government and/or the European Commission itself has ordered X to remove certain content by flagging it as "adult content" and thus subject to the Digital Services Act.In other words, exactly what everyone thought would happen, has happened. And not only happened once, but has been industrialized. Content which makes government agencies look bad, or otherwise highlights the crimes of violent migrants gets flagged as "adult content" and therefore is subject to censorship via the Online Safety Act and requires a photo ID (or a digital ID) to see. Right now, there are probably a lot of people in Ireland that have no understanding of the scale of protests and demonstrations (or even what the issue is all about) due to this censorship. This has been made worse by other larger issues that have actually made it into the mainstream press.Yesterday, the family of Josef Puska was sentenced for their various roles in the murder of Ashling Murphy. These sentences have inflamed tensions once more due to the nature of the crime itself, and the systemic coverup of the incident. While walking on a hiking path back in 20

2025-10-24 | Silicon Wafers 040 | DAILY UPDATES | Is the Kremlin finally feeling real bite from Sanctions? Are oil sanctions by US and UK, and pressure on the shadow tankers, helping the first cracks emerge in Putin's war economy?Washington, London and Brussels just fired a coordinated broadside at the Kremlin's cash machine. Russia calls it “unfriendly.” China bristles. India flinches. Europe quietly tightens the noose on the shadow fleet. Meanwhile, small but telling acts of dissent flicker in St. Petersburg, and fresh reporting shows how the Russian “elite” keep looting their own house even as it burns. At last measures are being taken which may hasten Putin's demise. The sanctions blitz finally hits the bullseyeThe big move: the United States sanctioned Rosneft and Lukoil, Russia's two largest oil companies—the beating heart of Putin's war budget and war machine financing. This is the first Ukraine-related Russia sanctions package of Trump's second term—and according to some commentators, it's a sledgehammer. As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent put it: “Given President Putin's refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia's two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin's war machine.” (Reuters, Oct 22, 2025)----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

Europe's Energy Liberation: US Shale Ending Russian Gas Leverage Michael Bernstam with John BatchelorBatchelor highlights the irony that Russia's perceived energy leverage over Europe is dissolving, a dependence once so great that Europeans were said not to be able to turn the lights on without Russian energy. Bernstam declares that natural gas will now be in abundance, ensuring that Russia "never again will there be leverage over Europe." This shift signifies "Liberation Day for natural gas in Europe." The European Union's 19th package of sanctions is scheduled to phase out Russian pipeline gas and Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) completely by the end of 2027, with the majority phased out by the middle of 2026. The United States shale revolution is crucial, producing approximately 270 billion cubic meters of natural gas for export to Europe via established terminals, freeing Europe from Russian energy dependence.

Ukraine Peace Talks: Territory is the Holdup, NATO and EU Issues Solvable Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute, with John Batchelor Lieven discussed potential negotiations between Presidents Trump and Putin to end the Ukraine conflict. The core obstacle is territory, while other major issues are generally manageable. Russia acknowledges Ukraine's right to join the European Union, removing that as a peace process hurdle, though EU internal challenges remain. NATO membership is unlikely, according to Trump, and incorporating that certainty into an actual agreement or treaty is key. Force protection and limitations could likely be resolved, especially if the negotiations remain bilateral between the U.S. and Russia, circumventing potentially difficult European involvement.

AI Competition: US Leads China in Data Center Race; Europe Is a 'Non-Factor' Chris Riegel, Stratacache, with John Batchelor Riegel discussed the global race involving data center building and the growth of large language models for AI. Riegel asserts that the competition is a "two-horse race" between the U.S. and China. The U.S. currently leads by maybe one to two years due to its focus on development, capital, and infrastructure. The European Union, conversely, is described as a "non-factor" and "nowhere" in this technological competition. Most top engineering talent in this space comes specifically to the United States for opportunity. Riegel noted that the capital developed by an individual like Elon Musk easily out-competes all of Europe's governmental funding toward advanced AI and data centers.

[00:02:10] – EU's Climate SuicideKnight exposes how European automakers are forced to buy carbon credits from Chinese EV companies to avoid EU fines, calling it “deindustrialization by design.” He mocks the irony of Western nations paying China—the world's biggest polluter—to “offset” emissions, framing it as proof the climate agenda was never about the environment but global economic control. [00:12:33] – Paris Accord: The Real Industrial KillerKnight revisits the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, blaming it for the West's energy collapse while exempting China and India. He accuses Trump of pretending the treaty was legitimate instead of rejecting it outright, saying this preserved executive overreach and guaranteed continued U.S. compliance with globalist energy restrictions. [00:35:50] – Trump's $230 Million Self-Pay ScandalKnight exposes Trump's plan to reimburse himself $230 million in taxpayer money for legal expenses, calling it proof of his monarchical attitude toward power. He says Trump's behavior shows that presidents now act like kings—raiding the Treasury for personal gain while claiming to fight corruption. [01:29:10] – CIA Lies and Deep State Hypocrisy Knight covers Jim Jordan's perjury referral against former CIA Director John Brennan, noting how the GOP ignored far worse crimes by Gina Haspel and James Clapper. He argues these selective prosecutions are not about restoring the rule of law but enforcing loyalty to Trump. [02:04:15] – Trump's Enemies List and CIA RetributionKnight reveals Trump's “Interagency Weaponization Working Group,” a coalition of federal agencies targeting his personal enemies. He argues this proves Trump's “deep state purge” is really a consolidation of power—a political revenge operation that turns the intelligence apparatus into a presidential hit squad. [02:15:48] – Trump's Lies, War Plans & Venezuela EscalationKnight ridicules Trump's claim to be greater than Washington and Lincoln while pushing CIA operations and airstrikes in Venezuela. He praises Rand Paul for opposing Trump's “summary executions at sea,” calling it a new form of civil asset forfeiture—“confiscation of life without trial.” [02:35:20] – War Crimes, Christian Nationalism & the New InquisitionKnight condemns Christian nationalist figures like Pete Hegseth for glorifying extrajudicial killings as holy wars. He says this betrayal of Christian ethics turns faith into a tool of empire and makes American militarism a form of religious apostasy. [02:40:35] – The Coming War & Trump's MadnessKnight warns that Trump's open use of the CIA in Venezuela marks the next stage of U.S. regime-change wars. He praises Rand Paul's bipartisan resolution (S.J. Res. 90) to block unauthorized military action and calls Trump “the most double-minded man in history,” pretending to be a peacekeeper while preparing for war Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHTFind out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

00:00:30 – Argentina BailoutKnight blasts Trump's secret $40 billion deal with Argentina, accusing the administration of bailing out a foreign ally while U.S. farmers face bankruptcy. He calls it proof that America-first rhetoric masks globalist financial manipulation. 00:07:43 – Trump vs. American FarmersKnight tears into Trump's trade chaos — punishing Brazil, rewarding Argentina, and wrecking market stability for U.S. cattlemen. He argues that MAGA loyalty has blinded conservatives to policies destroying rural America. 00:14:17 – Farm Revolt Against TrumpCattle groups and state farm bureaus condemn Trump's plan to import Argentine beef. Knight highlights growing backlash from agricultural leaders who see the policy as a betrayal of American ranchers and economic sovereignty. 00:42:32 – Bioengineered Meat AllergiesKnight discusses shocking academic proposals to make humans allergic to meat through genetically modified ticks. Condemning it as technocratic insanity and part of the global war on natural food and human biology. 00:51:27 – Globalists' Food Takeover FailsKnight praises Florida's ban on lab-grown “tumor meat” and mocks Bill Gates's failed Beyond Meat empire. He closes with a call for food self-sufficiency, warning that centralized agriculture is the foundation of global control. 01:04:10 – Argentina's Decline & Javier MileiKnight welcomes The New American publisher Steve Bonta, who draws on his time living in Argentina to describe its cultural Europeanism, intellectual roots, and long fall from prosperity into “a century of socialism.” He profiles President Milei as a libertarian reformer trying to reverse Peronist collectivism but warns that populist cults of personality—whether Perón or Trump—lead nations into tyranny. 01:13:00 – FDR, Trump & the Cult of PowerBonta and Knight connect Juan Perón's legacy to FDR's New Deal authoritarianism, arguing that both centralized government control through charisma. Knight warns that Trump has become another “fourth-turning” accelerationist—using chaos to remake America—while setting dangerous precedents that mirror 20th-century strongmen. 01:25:18 – Fiat Money Collapse & Gold ResurgenceBonta explains the Federal Reserve's unique power to export inflation and weaponize the dollar. Both note that central banks worldwide are hoarding gold, signaling the end of fiat illusions. Knight calls the modern system “the magic-money tree,” while Bonta insists only gold and silver reveal the true decline of Western purchasing power. 01:43:37 – UN Global Tax Agenda & Trump's ReversalBonta details the UN's plan for a global shipping tax—its first independent revenue stream toward world government—and credits Trump for blocking it. They trace how globalists use trade blocs to merge economies into political unions, warning the scheme mirrors the EU's path from “free trade” to supranational control. 01:52:27 – De-Dollarization & End of U.S. DominanceKnight and Bonta close by exposing the Argentina bailout and dollar decay. They link Washington's currency manipulations to the global flight toward gold and BRICS, predicting hyperinflation and the fall of dollar supremacy. Knight ends by praising The New American for warning decades ago about federalized, militarized policing and the coming authoritarian backlash. 02:15:47 – Global Silver Shortage & India PanicKnight reports that India's largest silver refinery has run out of supply for the first time ever amid massive Diwali-season buying. He highlights global ripple effects—London vaults empty, traders in chaos, and paper silver diverging from physical metal—framing it as evidence of Western financial decay and manipulation. 02:30:03 – India's Poisoned Pharma EmpireKnight exposes India's pharmaceutical industry as a “toxic mirror of Pfizer,” citing deadly cough syrups and widespread fraud. He argues the FDA knowingly enables foreign contamination through deregulation and political protection, making the U.S. complicit in poisoning its own citizens under the guise of global trade efficiency. 02:44:15 – FDA & Indian Corruption MergeExpanding on ProPublica's findings, Knight details how Indian plants with metal shavings and contaminated drugs still ship to U.S. pharmacies. He claims the FDA's fear of shortages drives its silence, likening the agency to a captured institution prioritizing profit and geopolitical deals over American safety. 02:56:48 – Trump's War on Thomas MassieKnight ends the episode with sharp criticism of Trump's attacks on Congressman Thomas Massie, funded by pro-Israel billionaires like Miriam Adelson. He contrasts Massey's anti-war, anti-bailout record with Trump's hypocrisy—supporting Lindsey Graham and globalist donors—branding Trump “the real RINO” and warning conservatives not to worship false America First idols.

Knight calls the modern system “the magic-money tree,” while Bonta insists only gold and silver reveal the true decline of Western purchasing power. 01:43:37 – UN Global Tax Agenda & Trump's ReversalBonta details the UN's plan for a global shipping tax—its first independent revenue stream toward world government—and credits Trump for blocking it. They trace how globalists use trade blocs to merge economies into political unions, warning the scheme mirrors the EU's path from “free trade” to supranational control. 01:52:27 – De-Dollarization & End of U.S. DominanceKnight and Bonta close by exposing the Argentina bailout and dollar decay. They link Washington's currency manipulations to the global flight toward gold and BRICS, predicting hyperinflation and the fall of dollar supremacy. Knight ends by praising The New American for warning decades ago about federalized, militarized policing and the coming authoritarian backlash. 02:15:47 – Global Silver Shortage & India PanicKnight reports that India's largest silver refinery has run out of supply for the first time ever amid massive Diwali-season buying. He highlights global ripple effects—London vaults empty, traders in chaos, and paper silver diverging from physical metal—framing it as evidence of Western financial decay and manipulation. 02:30:03 – India's Poisoned Pharma EmpireKnight exposes India's pharmaceutical industry as a “toxic mirror of Pfizer,” citing deadly cough syrups and widespread fraud. He argues the FDA knowingly enables foreign contamination through deregulation and political protection, making the U.S. complicit in poisoning its own citizens under the guise of global trade efficiency. 02:44:15 – FDA & Indian Corruption MergeExpanding on ProPublica's findings, Knight details how Indian plants with metal shavings and contaminated drugs still ship to U.S. pharmacies. He claims the FDA's fear of shortages drives its silence, likening the agency to a captured institution prioritizing profit and geopolitical deals over American safety. 02:56:48 – Trump's War on Thomas MassieKnight ends the episode with sharp criticism of Trump's attacks on Congressman Thomas Massie, funded by pro-Israel billionaires like Miriam Adelson. He contrasts Massey's anti-war, anti-bailout record with Trump's hypocrisy—supporting Lindsey Graham and globalist donors—branding Trump “the real RINO” and warning conservatives not to worship false America First idols.

The Surge of Germany's Populist AfD Party Threatens Ruling Coalition. Judy Dempsey (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace) discusses the rising political power of the AfD, a populist, anti-NATO, anti-EU, anti-American, and pro-Russia party in Germany. The party initially gained strength in the eastern part of Germany but is now also rising in the western part of the country. The AfD is actively campaigning very hard in villages, towns, cities, and even among teachers in schools. The party has nearly pulled even with the ruling party (the CSU and CDU), trailing by just one percentage point. With a large number of seats in the German parliament (Bundestag), the AfD smells power, forcing Merz to continuously maneuver to hold back the populist surge.

This special wrap-up episode of Interchange Recharged takes listeners on a fast tour of the entire carbon capture value chain, from industrial emitters and LNG developers to UK transport and storage pioneers. Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez, Research Director at Wood Mackenzie, brings together three leaders shaping how CCUS moves from theory to reality.First, James Lopez, Subsurface CO₂ Storage Advisor at CEMEX, explains why cement's process emissions make it one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise and why storage certainty is now the key enabler for investment. He shares how CEMEX is identifying and evaluating CO₂ storage hubs across global sites, and why capture without a permitted storage solution is a business risk few emitters can take. “CCUS doesn't work if you only have the C,” he says, “you need the full chain.”Next, Glenn Wilson, Chief Financial Officer at Coastal Bend LNG, discusses how LNG economics and carbon capture can work hand in hand. Designed from day one as a low-carbon project, Coastal Bend LNG is integrating capture across both pre-treatment and post-combustion stages, aiming for near-zero emissions. Glenn explains how 45Q tax credits and the sale of verified environmental attributes create a dual-revenue model, and why tokenising the carbon intensity of each LNG cargo could redefine transparency in global energy trade. “We're not just reducing emissions,” he says, “we're creating a new market for verified carbon value.”Finally, Nick Terrell, Executive Director at Carbon Catalyst, joins from the UK to reveal how depleted gas fields are being repurposed into next-generation carbon storage sites. Following the country's first offshore CO₂ injection test, he shares how reusing North Sea infrastructure is cutting costs, driving bankability, and opening the door to cross-border storage for European emitters. As policy alignment grows between the UK and EU, Terrell argues that liberalisation and private capital will be the next accelerators. “Once we have more FIDs,” he says, “finance, technology, and data will do the rest.”From the cement kiln to the seabed, this episode captures the energy and optimism emerging across the CCUS ecosystem - a clear sign that carbon capture is moving from cautious planning to confident execution.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But when you look at the rise of cryptos, number one, when you look at the price of gold. Gold is typically, in any situation, the ultimate destination for safe haven. Price of gold has increased by more than 50% since the beginning of the year. — MARGARET BRENNAN: — So people are worried. — CHRISTINE LAGARDE: — That's a clear sign that the trust in the reserve currency that the dollar has been, is and will continue to be, is eroding a bit. In addition to that, we've seen capital flows outside of the U.S. towards other destinations, including Europe. So, you know, for a currency to be really trusted you need a few things. You need geopolitical credibility. You need the rule of law and strong institutions. And you need, I would call it, a military force that is strong enough. I think on at least one and possibly two accounts, the U.S. is still in a very dominant position, but it needs to be very careful because those positions erode over the course of time. We've seen it with the Sterling Pound, you know, way back after, after the war. But it happens gently, gently, you don't notice it and then it happens suddenly. And we are seeing intriguing signs of it, which is why I think that having a strong institution with the Fed, for instance, is important. Having a credible environment within which to trade is important. So volatility, uncertainty, to the extent it is fueled by the administration, is not helpful to the dollar.

1. The Roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War: Putin's Power and the Failure of the 2008 NATO Summit. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) analyzes the origins of the Russo-Ukrainian War, highlighting Vladimir Putin's authority, which is derived from Russia's super-presidential constitution. This power allowed him to move toward dictating who could align with the West. The 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest proved critical: the alliance split, with the US favoring membership for Ukraine and Georgia, and Germany leading opposition. This resulted in a failure to agree, leaving Ukraine and Georgia exposed to future Russian attacks without military guarantees. Putin responded by starting the war in Georgia later that year, effectively annexing territory and rendering Georgia ineligible for NATO. In Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, backed by Putin, lost the 2004 election due to the Orange Revolution, which Putin viewed as a serious threat to his authority in Russia. Yanukovych returned in 2010 and, pressured by Russia, refused to sign an association agreement with the European Union in 2013, triggering the Euromaidan Revolution. This protest against Moscow's influence was a direct prelude to the annexation of Crimea and the start of the 2014 war. 1855 TATARS CRIMEA

5. Western Appeasement of 2014: Crimea Annexation and the Flawed Minsk Accords. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) examines the Western reaction to the annexation of Crimea in February 2014, following the appearance of "little green men." Professor Plokhy asserts that had the West reacted to the Crimean annexation with the same severity as they did to the 2022 invasion, the major war might have been avoided. Instead, the collective West treated Crimea as an isolated exception, drawing a historical parallel to the 1930s Anschluss of Austria, and mistakenly believed that Putin would stop there. This flawed assumption led Germany to pursue economic ties like Nord Stream 2, hoping escalation would be less likely. Moreover, NATO's policy was to pacify Russia by not placing military units close to its borders, leaving the alliance with "very little to respond with" in 2014. Although the annexation was quickly followed by Russian-concocted violence in Donbas, leading to a massive Russian counterattack in summer 2014, the West pursued the Minsk II agreements. These agreements were often implemented according to Russia's interpretation: requiring elections first under Russian military control, intended to create a "Trojan horse" to destabilize Ukraine and preclude its movement toward the EU or NATO. This approach was closely related to the "policies of appeasement of the 1930s." 1840 KHIV

8. The Misreading of Russia: Ideology and the Insufficiency of Alliances The debate over whether Ukraine should join the EU or NATO fundamentally misses the core issue: Russia's unwavering ideological belief that it must dominate and control Ukraine. If Russians are driven by this revanchist, neo-imperialist ideology, they will continue to seek control regardless of Ukraine's alliances, potentially through misinformation or political interference. American administrations (including Obama, Trump, and Biden) and many Western European powers have consistently misread Russia, treating it as rational or transactional, and thus failed to take its ideological goals seriously. This lack of understanding about Russia's commitment to control Ukraine means that any proposed "settlement" that does not acknowledge Ukraine as an independent state is doomed. Countries like the Baltics and Poland, which have hands-on experience dealing with Russia, correctly recognized the persistent threat but were often dismissed as overly dramatic.1855 CRIMEA Retry

7. Bucharest 2008 and the Failed Bid to Prevent Russian Aggression. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) discusses how Vladimir Putin's powerful presidency, rooted in a manipulated super-presidential constitution, enabled him to assert the right to dictate which countries could align with the West. The April 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest was a critical turning point. Though the US, led by George W. Bush, favored inviting Ukraine and Georgia to join the alliance, Western allies, notably Germany, opposed the idea, leading to a split. The outcome—a promise of future membership with no specifics—was the "worst outcome possible." Putin used this weakness, starting a war in Georgia months later, effectively annexing territory and disqualifying Georgia from joining NATO due to territorial conflicts. This demonstrated that Ukraine and Georgia had exposed themselves to future Russian attacks by publicly seeking NATO membership without securing "meaningful Western support," meaning military aid. Domestically, Putin viewed the 2004 Orange Revolution, which rejected his preferred candidate Viktor Yanukovych, as a threat to his own power structure. Yanukovych later returned and, in 2013, was bribed and pressured by Russia not to sign an EU association agreement, sparking the Euromaidan Revolution which served as a stepping stone toward the 2014 Crimean annexation.
