Cornell Professor and all around gadfly Dave Collum returns to the show for a one on one about a whole lot more than we thought we were going to talk about when it started. Riffing off theories of the Pentagon Papers and going into the weeds of tri-body collision theory and 9/11 as only two veteran chemists ever could.

Recent Dedollarization Cast on Tommy’s Podcast
Luongo: Unpacking “The Conversation” Around the Pentagon Papers
Hi Tom, I learned about you from Mike Adam’s podcast. I appreciate your unique insights. One thing you said (in that podcast) did not quite make sense to me though and I wondered if you could explain more about it. When Mike Adams asked what people could do to best position themselves to survive the upheaval that is coming, one of your answers was “pay off your debt” (all the others made sense).
I have been expecting inflation to continue, especially with de-dollarization from BRICs alternate payment schemes unfolding. If that is true, and I have excess capital, would it not make sense to refrain from paying off my mortgage so I can pay it off in inflated dollars over the upcoming years?
Or are you saying that because you believe banking will collapse, and all “cash” will be lost in the process, its better to use it to pay off your debt now while you can?
If you have fixed rate debt below the market rate then no paying the mortgage off slowly is saving you money in some sense. But at the same time you also want your cash flow unemcumbered to be able to deal with the constraints on your cash flow
Two veteran chemists… that was a great podcast!!! If you ever need to go back and review something, like activation barriers/energies, for one of your financial or market explanations, these two teachers are just brilliant. As many times as I have taught this stuff, I always come away with something new after listening to these guys:
Lec 1 | MIT 3.091SC Introduction to Solid State Chemistry, Fall 2010
Donald Sadoway – MIT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Sadoway#Teaching
Lec 1: Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics
Yale physicist R Shankar teaches physics combined with a liberal dose of humour

If you really love fundamental science, explained from the ground floor up, these lectures are just mesmerizing. IMHO Apparently, Bill Gates was surfing the web one day, found Donald Sadoway’s MIT lectures and decided to fund his elecrochemistry research. It is amazing what comes back when one puts quality work out into world.
I loved the story about Dave cracking the Roth IRA, BTW !!!
Russia has saved the Western World from itself many times in history by keeping Europe in check. By doing this they’ve also saved themselves and the rest of the world. Most recently, it began with Syria. But when covid happened and Russia went along with it, many of us thought it was the end. Who can be sure why Russia went along with covid but perhaps they actually were several steps ahead of Europe? Every government on Earth wants full control over their citizens, so why not go along with measures to achieve that goal, look like a team player, and put Davos at ease at the same time. What do you think? But finally, when Ukraine happened last year it truly became the death knell for Davos and old money Europe…only Davos didn’t know it when it began. Now surely they do know it, because they shot their entire wad with covid it seems. And though it looked like they succeeded for 2 years straight, it really was the beginning of the end for them. Peak Davos, as Tom says… Now enough of the clueless masses are weary not just of covid, but all vaccines and “pandemics”. Weary not just of “experts”, but their own doctors (which I love most, because I’ve always known they’re all quacks and sadists for the most part). More distrust and hatred of the news media and entertainment media in general. We have Russia to thank once again for saving the world. Now it’s time for us to pick up the pieces and finally move on, and make damn sure every last one of these fiends are dead and buried once and for all. No amnesty, no rebuilding, no “bringing them to justice”…just eliminated.
Since you guys broached the subject of covid rabbit holes…Dr. Andreas Noack. German chemist with vast experience in graphene hydroxide, stated the problem with the vaccines are not the mRNA technology. The problem is they contain graphene hydroxide (which another scientist discovered the vaccines contain), a substance which is essentially a one-molecule thin razor – 0.1 nm thick. If that molecule gets out of the muscle and into your blood stream, or if a nurse happens to inadvertently inject a blood vessel, well now you’ve got a dose of non-degradable molecular razor blades tearing up your blood vessel walls for the rest of your life. The chemist stated that any decent chemist knows this, and that there is no reason to add such a molecule into any injection whatsoever.
I have heard about the graphene hydroxide issue and that may also be one of the causes of ‘died suddenly.’ There’s so much going on and so much to cover… what’s important is the net effect and the illumination of the lengths these folks are willing to go to destroy the western middle class.
I agree, ultimately stick with the big picture. Otherwise, we will get lost in the minutia and end up with our heads swimming in details like Whitney Webb. LOL
“Central Casting” was a term Trump used quite a bit, seems to be making its rounds more as we all realize how deep the CIA/State has been casting and manipulating.
This is the first time I remember you saying it. Where did you pick up the phrase?
I was expecting you to discuss the CAA/CIA influence to push Central Casting. People like Candace Owens. Amateur actress, figures out how to sound conservative, plays the part. Bud Light CEO is CIA/Dylan Whatshisnuts literally says he’s playing a “role” for clicks. Not Trans, bad Comedian act
