Doug Casey's Take [ep.#137] How the Government Plans to Survive (Raven Rock, Book Review)
This episode suffers from internet connection issues. We had to pause the recording and restart a few times. Still, we think you'll find the subject interesting.
It turns out, the ultimate 'Prepper' is the US government.
In this episode, we discuss a recently read book: 'Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government's Secret Plan to Save Itself--While the Rest of Us Die'

Doug & Matt start by analyzing the potential implications of a Russian versus NATO war in Europe, pondering the possibility of it remaining conventional without escalating to nuclear warfare. The conversation shifts to critique the provocative actions of Western governments, particularly French President Macron, and discusses the presence of foreign soldiers in Ukraine and the strategic movements of military assets across Europe.
The discussion also touches upon censorship concerns stemming from new legislative actions, such as the TikTok bill in the U.S., and the potential for broader online content suppression. They also delve into personal health and fitness advice, drawing from Doug's long-standing practices. Additionally, they explore the concept of converting third-world countries into publicly owned corporations and the challenges of implementing such a radical change in governance. The conversation concludes with a critical reflection on the inherent lies of institutions like the church and the state, emphasizing the importance of questioning widely accepted beliefs.
