Let's talk about being prepared. Shockingly, the average person believes they could survive for two weeks alone in the wilderness. But a new study reveals most couldn't even spark a fire. The survey of 2000 Americans show many are confident in their ability to survive in the wild. However, only 17% felt very confident in their ability to start a fire with just flint. That's why tens of thousands s rely on the fire pit mini to start fires outdoors. 

The fire pit Mini stove grants anybody the ability to start fires, boil water and cook food from virtually anywhere. With only kindling or leaves as fuel. You could spend hours spinning sticks together or wasting your matches trying to start a fire to stay warm and cook meals. But the fire pit mini stove is engineered to give you a reliable, effective and simple way to start a robust fire with little smoke in any condition without the hassle. 

The fire Pit Mini stove is the most effective choice for camping, hunting, traveling, road trips, power outages, emergency and more. It could be the critical difference between life or death in a crisis.

Hurry now before they sell out by going to Firepitmini. com. That's Firepitmini. com. Use promo code HOliday or just click the link in the description hi and welcome to the X 22 Report Spotlight. Today we have a returning guest, Bitcoin Ben. Ben is a cryptocurrency enthusiast. You can visit his sites at calixSolutions IO, Cryptolaptops or Bitcoinebencryptoclub. com. I'll be putting all the links at the bottom of the video and I am very happy and honored to have Ben back on the X 22 report. 

Spotlight Ben, welcome back to the Spotlight. Hey, how are you, Dave? Doing great and thanks for coming back because we could see that, hey, Bitcoin is moving up. I think it's over 40,000 now, and I think people are actually surprised and shocked about that. But what I wanted to talk about is what Jamie Dimon said, because he was testifying in front of Congress and he was telling Congress that criminals, drug dealers, they use cryptocurrency and the government should get rid of crypto. 

And I think Elizabeth Warrens was agreeing with him, like, yes, we need to get rid of it. Why are they pushing so hard with this narrative to get rid of crypto? And why do they hate it so much. Well, let me preface that. What he should have said is, other than just me as a criminal and JP Morgan as a criminal entity, other criminals are buying bitcoin. Jamie is an absolute liar. 

I know for a fact I've seen the documents that Morgan has purchased. At least I want to say it was almost, I'd say, I'll say $1 million because I can't remember the exact number. But over in the UK, JP Morgan went and purchased a bunch of bitcoin right after he had said that bitcoin should be illegal and people should get out of it. He is a criminal for just saying that, because he knows, like the rest of them know, that what the bitcoin is, is the next system, the next monetary global system. 

And what they hate is they don't control it. Now, we're in a war right now, obviously on several fronts, but the most important war is the war for the money. He who controls the money controls the world. It's the only thing we all share. We share economic value and exchange of economic value. And what we're switching to now, the elites, Jamie diamond, they have a completely different reason why they love the bitcoin. 

We have Blackrock, the largest company in the world, Blackrock. They run $9 trillion worth of assets, currencies, everything. They are the big of the big. They're getting ready, along with about 18 other entities, to launch a physically backed ETF for the bitcoin. Now, what this means, and I want everyone to understand this, the reason they're telling you not to get into bitcoin is because they don't want you. 

The little guys getting on the ship too early, they eventually want you on it, just not yet. Let us, the people who know, let us get in now, create all the plumbing, then we'll allow you in a little while to sprinkle a little, maybe get a little bit of bitcoin, because they understand. And as I lay this out, it will make absolute sense. We're moving into a global economic environment where every country is not valued in GDP, but energy production. 

And the energy production will actually create the economy of the future. And what that means, that's what global warming is about. That's what AI is all about. That's what bitcoin is all about. That's what this is all about. And it isn't that the elite have planned it. It's the evolution, the natural evolution of technology. Humans advance in everything we do. Efficiency and profit drive everything humans do. So what they knew a long time ago, and what some of us, like yourself and me, we understand that everything's going to energy. 

Now, prior, it was petroleum based. The lowest level of production was actually based on oil. That happened in the late 60s. In the mid sixty s, with the mass production of plastics, we shifted from a global economy that was actually based on copper and gold and steel and all that. What humans do, this is how it's always been. Whatever is the lowest form of the global economy, production is used as a currency. 

So from 1830 until about 1941, everything was actually being created out of copper, steel, all of the metals. So our currency was actually based on the metals. Well, from 1941 forward, that was the rise of the petroleum products. That was Styrofoam, that was plastic, that was pills wrapped in hardened petroleum gels. From 1950 on till about 1999, everything was actually based on oil, petroleum. Now, in the 1970s, they switched from the gold backing to the oil backing. 

That's what created the petrodollar. Because in the late 60s, early 70s, we were using more plastics at the lowest level of production globally than we were using any of the metals. So we shifted our currency, our money, from actually being backed by the metals, into the petroleums. So now we fast forward in 2006, 2007, another flip happened, that we were reaching about 30% of the products that people were consuming were strictly electricity based. 

And when I say that, what I mean is everything was going digital. We were watching electronic entertainment. We were actually downloading more music than we were actually buying records or CDs. Everything was moving digital. So the elite, the powers that be, or kind of actually be right now, they realized, all right, we're getting ready for this transition out of petroleum based currencies into digital based currencies. Well, another group also realized that, and that was Elon Musk at a project actually called PayPal. 

Well, prior to naming it pay, the name of it was, oh, yeah. So Elon has had this plan for X for years, but the other owners, they didn't like X, so they chose PayPal. And now we fast forward some more. Satoshi Nakamoto. Not just one person, a group, they reached a point, and the globe reached the point where the global Internet was moving at a high enough rate that blockchain would work on a global scale. 

Because what blockchain is, is it's transactions wrapped in a block, and then that block with the whole blockchain is hashed. What that means is they are trying to solve a mathematical calculation to actually create the next block. Well, in order to have a decentralized currency run on blockchain, the blocks that are created, all of the nodes have to agree on the creation time of the block. And as soon as the global Internet was moving quick enough for that, they implemented it. 

And that's what we call the bitcoin blockchain. So now we fast forward some more. The elite, they do what they always do. Remember, they view us as workers, right? So what they do is they, over at a little company called DARPA, they actually put out a couple of ideas into industry, and then they let capitalism and free market choose the winner. Then what they do is they cause a crash in that market using shorts and futures and all of the other little tools they have, and they crash the market. 

Hence the 1999 Dot crash. Well, they chose all the winners and they invested and they bought. Then they rode that up and they choose who wins. And then they let the little guys sprinkle some of their 401 on it. They can get a little bit, but don't worry, we'll manage that with inflation and interest rates. We won't let the little guy get too rich. The Federal Reserve, we will manage the wealth of the workers. 

So they always have to work. That's the goal of the Federal Reserve. Their job is, number one, they have two mandates. He always says that. We got two mandates. One, to maximize employment. Let me rephrase that. To manage the employment leverage. Who has more leverage, employees or employers? It's his job to make sure the employers have all the leverage, not the employees. Right? Because if the employees have more leverage, then they have to pay a higher wage. 

That ain't no good. And then number two, the interest rate, the manipulation of the currency. Now we have the SEC, who says we're here to protect the people, protect the people from manipulation, while every month they wait for the ultimate manipulator, the Federal Reserve, to tell them how much we're going to manipulate the money. So if the SEC was serious, they'd go after the Federal Reserve for manipulating everyone's number one asset, which is their monetary value, their labor value. 

Well, that system is splitting. And what we have done in the freedom movement, me and a large group of my crypto friends, have actually created a new system. But see, the elites, they don't want you to know that there's this whole new system. Now, you may hear about it a little, and they might say it once in a while, but they don't say it on any outlet that isn't their chosen outlet. 

That's why they only talk about, oh, the Bitcoin ETF is such a big deal. Well, they're not saying it on the evening news. Oh, no, they're saying it on Bloomberg Intelligence, the shows that only the financial people watch. And if you watch it, most of what they say, the average person won't understand. They use a completely different lexicon than the average American. The average American listening to Bloomberg is like, wait, what the hell are they talking about? What's that word mean? What's that word mean? What the hell's an ETF? They have no idea what's going on. 

So they don't watch Bloomberg. I don't blame them. They suck. They lie. But they're not lying. They're sending messages to the other entities inside the system. That's why it's called Bloomberg Intelligence, because they release the information so that the other entities, the other plumbing outlets in the system, know what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Now, all of us in Cryptos, I'm in the process. 

I have a club in Sarasota, Florida. That's my first club. I'm launching another one in Tampa, another one in Nashville, another one in Texas. What these clubs are for, and what this club website is for is to help the little guy get into the new system before they collapse the old system. And that's why I wanted to come on your show. And thank you so much, Dave. You've helped. 

I can't tell you how many people walk in our club and go, I'll tell you what, if it wasn't for you and Dave, we'd be in a pickle. Yeah. So, Dave, from everyone who I've talked to, I am passing it on to you. Thank you so much. No, I mean, I'm just here just putting out information and thank you for that compliment. And thank you for all the people for complimenting. 

Very nice. You've earned a brother. You have been such a guiding light for so many people, including myself, and I just want to say thank you. Let me just play devil advocate, because I know people are probably thinking like, okay, yes, I hear the bitcoin side of it, I hear the blockchain side of it, but can't. Let's talk about being prepared. Shockingly, the average person believes they could survive for two weeks alone in the wilderness. 

But a new study reveals most couldn't even spark a fire. The survey of 2000 Americans show many are confident in their ability to survive in the wild. However, only 17% felt very confident in their ability to start a fire with just flint. That's why tens of thousands rely on the fire pit mini to start fires outdoors. The fire pit mini stove grants anybody the ability to start fires, boil water and cook food from virtually anywhere with only kindling or leaves as fuel. 

You could spend hours spinning sticks together or wasting your matches trying to start a fire to stay warm and cook meals. But the fire pit mini stove is engineered to give you a reliable, effective and simple way to start a robust fire with little smoke in any condition without the hassle. The fire pit mini stove is the most effective choice for camping, hunting, traveling, road trips, power outages, emergency and more. 

It could be the critical difference between life or death in a crisis.

Use promo code holiday or just click the link in the description. The central banks use this to usher in the central bank digital currency. Because that's what people are thinking. They're thinking they hear it from the IMF, they hear it, know the other central banks saying that, okay, we're going to be moving into a central bank digital currency. It's going to be on the blockchain. And that's why the banks are setting everything up to make it easy to go to the central bank digital currency. 

Well, that is in a way true, but this is where the American people and the globe have to decide. You have a choice. This is your free will. Either you are led into their system or you choose a freedom system. We are at the 1776 of currency. You're either Going to go along with the old British system which was pounds, all the measurements, all of the weights, all of that, or like the Founding Fathers, that's why we have inches, that's why we have ounces, that's why we have a completely different measuring system than the rest of the world. 

It's because America chose to create its own system of weights and measurements. See Great Britain, the King, they worked in gold. Everything revolved around gold. That's why America in the Constitution went with silver, because silver was more decentralized than gold was. And that's why the Founding Fathers chose silver as our weights and measurements for our currency. Because all of the rich people had gold, right? None of the poor people had gold. 

So if we would have adopted the gold system, the old system just would have bought out the new system. But they didn't they said, no, we're going with silver. We are decentralizing the monetary unit. That's what the bitcoin is. This time. It's global. This is 1776 on a global scale. And the elites, and mind you, not all of the elites are bad. Not all of the rich people are bad. 

But the smart rich people like Michael Saylor, listen to him. That guy's more pro American than I am, and I don't even know how that is even possible. But he's telling everybody, get into bitcoin. This is why, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let me just stop you for those people that don't know who Michael Sailor is, just tell people who he is, just in case. They might be hearing the name, but they might not know who he is. 

Okay, well, he is an MIT educated CEO, or ex CEO, of a company called Microstrategies. It's a billion dollar company. It's huge. He's a billionaire. And in 2021, he realized, oh, my God, the dollar is broken. We're in deep trouble. Inflation is coming. It's coming fast. So he had a choice. I need to find out where I need to hold my company and my personal assets so that I don't lose purchasing power through inflation. 

He searched for six months, and he chose the bitcoin. And I'll tell you why. Because he realized this is a decentralized, uncontrollable, uncorruptible blockchain ledger that, at the fundamentals of it, is able to handle and shift the whole world off of a labor taxation system into a natural resource money creation, value added economic, monetary system. Now, that's a lot of words. That means a lot of things. But basically, through the creation of bitcoin, which is all electronics, each of the countries could replace taxation of their citizens labor with the natural resource energy put into the system of the bitcoin creation. 

And it would pay for all of the roads, all of the social programs, all of that. And so he went full force into getting on television, explaining to CEOs, explaining to all of these high level other billionaires. And Michael Saylor is a. He's a genius. He is so intelligent. But he sounded exactly like me six years ago. I was explaining the exact same thing. In fact, I've had several people call me, you know what, Ben? You're kind of like the trucker version of Michael Sailor. 

And I'm like, I take it as a compliment. But what's so important is that now BlackRock Vanguard, all of these global money transfer and global monetary unit organizations are getting into the bitcoin, and what's amazing, folks, listen to me carefully, and please take this to heart. Do your own research. But I have no reason to tell you this if it wasn't true. We are moving into a new system that for the first time in history, the little guys have the opportunity, with just a little bit of research, to learn the technology and front run the big money. 

The weakness that BlackRock has, the weakness, the Achilles heel of BlackRock is the system. The system is slowing them down. You, my friend, you don't have the burden of the bureaucracy that they have. They have to jump through all the little hoops before they can get into bitcoin. All you have to do is follow a little list and do your own research. The moment you get it, it's going to be like a light bulb. 

Most of you watching this are awake, not woke. That's different, but awake. What I'm trying to help you guys do is expand what you know already and realize we are at the precipice of a slingshot of humanity. And that slingshot, the monetary energy that is pulling the slingshot back, is the bitcoin. And you have the ability to get on that financial slingshot and shoot ahead of everybody. It is such an opportunity. 

And like I said, not financial advice. Do your own research. But if you do it, you'll get it. Because you guys, don't let no one tell you, oh, you're just an average truck driver. You're just an average. What do you know? You know more than they do. I mean, look around you. How many people do you know that are really awake to what's going on? And these are the same people that are telling you this bitcoin things? J. 

P. Morgan told me that only crooks use it. Really? The same JPMorgan that has paid $81 billion in lawsuits? The same J. P. Morgan that had Jeffrey Epstein as a client and got sued for it. You mean that reputable? Gee, he would never lie to you in order to keep you in your place. No, that guy, oh, he earned his way up to the top. No, he didn't. 

He was blackmailed up there just like the rest of them. And my friends, you, I love every single one of you. And I'll tell you why. Because unless you're free, I'm not free. We're all slaves until we're all free. I agree with you. You do it every time. I could cry at the drop of a hat. Yeah. Do you think bitcoin was created at this moment? Do you think it was created by good guys or bad guys? Because I think it was created in 2008, 2009, when we had the Great recession at that point. 

And it seems like that was a pivotal point of everything changing because the fed took over quite a bit. They took over the rate, the interest rates, the market, everything. They took up, quantitative easing, you name it. And it seems that this was created at that moment. So do you think this was created by good guys or bad guys? It was created in the natural evolution, in the moment that it was able to be created. 

Let me explain that. We all think that the telephone was created by one person here in America. Well, no, the telephone. Within a three month period, there were eight people across the world who invented the telephone. It was just its time. It's multiple people across the world recognized, I can do this now and I can send voice over the line. It's just technology. Once something is capable of actually being created, we create it. 

It isn't a good thing. It isn't a bad thing. It's a thing. It's exactly like the very first heck airplane. There were a lot of airplanes created before the Wright Brothers, but the Wright brothers are the first ones Americans. And the Western world says, oh, they were first. No, they weren't. There were quite a few people over in London that had flown just as far as the Wright brothers, but America declared it. 

We slapped it in the Encyclopedia Britannica, which that's a whole other show, and we made that the truth. And that's what AI is all about. There will be good AI, and there will be bad AI, just like there's good actual bitcoin. Then there is bad CBDCs. The technology is there. It's the intent that really makes it good or bad. Now, what I'm saying is each individual has to choose, are you free or are you a slave? They're going to make slavery look very appealing. 

They always do. They always do. Yeah. Freedom requires responsibility for yourself as an individual. Now, there's going to be a bunch of people who choose slavery. We can't help everybody, but there's going to be a bunch of people who choose freedom. Those are the people we can help. That's why me and several other friends of mine in the industry, that's why we launched Calyx Solutions. That's why we launched the club, or clubs and the website with the club. 

That's why I actually sent Dave a group of links. There's only three of them. If you hit each one of those, you are solid. In cryptos. You have security. You have education and you have a supply. That's it. That's all you need. The first thing you should get is security. Learn from the beginning of your education how to hold your cryptos and your bitcoin safely on the right type of machine. 

That's Calyx solutions crypto laptop. It is made strictly for cryptos. When you go to Walmart, you do not take your safe from your house, put it in the trunk and go to Walmart. You keep the majority of your wealth in a safe. The safe is not for blankets. You don't let your wife put Christmas presents in there. It's for the important, have to have to protect objects. That includes your wealth. 

Number two, education. That's www. bitcoinbencryptoclub. com. I know, long name, but it's a fun place. And the website, we have information, we have educational videos. We have a telephone number. You can call up the club. We have all of this and so does Calyx solutions. When we send you your laptop, we do an hour call with you on how to use it. So you get education when you get your laptop, which is the safest way to hold your cryptos out there, bar none. 

Number two, with the laptop you get the education of using a wallet, how to move your coins, how to buy your coins back and forth. Number two, the club's website, you join as a member. We're always adding education to it. And these clubs physical locations are going up all over the country. I'm actually working with Bix Weir, which I know is a friend of yours, on opening up a club out in California. 

I don't want to do it. I hate California. But he wants to save California. I understand. So I'm going to open a club out in California, but these clubs are going to open up all over the nation so you can physically walk into, and if you're a member of one club, you're a member of all the clubs. You just walk in. Hey, I'm a member here. We send you a little ID thing that says I'm into club. 

And number three. And this is most important. Well, not really, but this is important where you get your coins. The American government with the SEC has limited the exchanges, so they're trying to cut off your ability to even get coins except through their sprinkle technique. Well, there's a link under the video here for some good friends of mine at a place called Caleb and Brown. Caleb and Brown. 

Using my link will save you money on getting your cryptos, but more importantly, they work one on one with you. You aren't on a website, hoping and crossing your fingers you're actually dealing with an agent of Caleb and Brown. And they work with you. I've worked with them for six years. Never had one client ever complain. Beautiful. So they walk you through it all. Folks, please listen to me. 

I know that I'm just an average Joe who is unbelievably good looking, but I live in this world. This is my world. I live in Bitcoin. Trust me. The reason the price has been jumping is because the wealthy people are now buying into it at a pace that you wouldn't believe. And I'm going to call it now. And for those who watch my show, by January eigth, Bitcoin will be at least $100,000 per coin. 

Wow. Yes. That's amazing. It's crazy. It's the future, Dave. It isn't that it's good or evil. It just is Bitcoin and decentralized currency. Time has come. The system doesn't want you to choose to be free. It's a choice, folks. And please choose right. Because whatever system you enter, AI will keep you a slave if you choose their system. Because through the hardware, they will trap you in an illusion of information. 

Through your phone, to your laptop, through your television, through it all, you. Because it recognizes your face, it recognizes your phone. Every screen you walk by will reinforce the digital ID narrative for you. Everything you interact with will reinforce what they want you to see. So it won't be that you'll just go through life and have exposure. Different voices, different opinions. Oh, no, they're getting rid of that using AI. 

That's why they're going after Twitter. That's why they're going after Elon Musk. That's why Elon Musk was over in Israel a few weeks ago, because he is working with other people to set up the new Internet. And the new Internet is just the Internet that Google doesn't control. It's the free web, the deep web, the dark web. It's not dark. It's not deep. It's just the web. It's just the web they don't control. 

Right? And they don't want you. Calyx Solutions has a crypto only laptop, and we also have a Liberty laptop. The Liberty laptop literally teaches you how to go on the free web safely, where if you're on your liberty laptop, no one even knows you're anywhere. Your IP Internet provider doesn't even know you're online. Why is it that this little company Calyx Solutions is the only company out there that is selling a freedom based computer. 

Don't you think there'd be a big market for that? Yeah, I would. Yeah. Why aren't they? Because they're trapping you in the hardware so you can use your browser. You can use all that. It doesn't matter. The laptop blocks everything that the AI on your laptop won't let you see it. You'll never know what doesn't reach you because your laptop, when you search, it'll pull it up, but you'll never know what was blocked. 

Even using a VPN on your laptop, the information won't reach your browser because the hardware will be programmed with AI to block certain terms. So you won't even know that it's being blocked. Yeah, I mean, it's already happening. Now, if you really look at the fake news, they only tell you certain things. Google only presents certain information and you don't see all the other stuff. I mean, if you go onto Google, all they give you is the fake news sites. 

I mean, they don't give you anything else. I mean, that's how they keep you in control. Same thing with the fake news. They don't tell you about everything else. And that's why people have been looking for other places for news, because they're not getting it. Because. Same thing. Now let me expand on that. While we are doing a great job at, like, Rumble and X and all that, we're still using their hardware. 

It's true. And Rumble and X will be shut off using the laptop's hardware. Why do you think they're recreating the microchip industry? Because the microchips won't allow you to go anywhere. Why hasn't someone else released a laptop that actually lets you go wherever you want to? That the laptop won't block it, won't allow the updates that block it. Why? Because they know. Let the people argue about the browsers and Twitter and rumble that all goes through your laptop. 

They're not worried about that because they know you're using their laptop, right? Yeah. And Calyx Solutions Liberty laptop, we shut off all their little tricks. They got. We literally shut off quite a few of their little microchips in there because unless you're running on a Liberty laptop, you're using their machine. This is their machine. This laptop? Well, I mean, not this one. Your laptop you're using, it's a Dell or it's whatever else, but it was shipped to you, just manufactured from Dell with all of the little shut offs in the back doors. 

Well, Calyx Solutions shuts all their little shut offs and all their little back doors off. That's why they don't like Calic solutions very much. Hey, Ben. Thank you very much, sir. No, thank you very much for being on the spotlight. I really appreciate. I'll put all the links at the bottom of the video, but thank you for everything that you're doing. I appreciate it. I think a lot of people appreciate it. 

No problem. Dave. We're both here to help people make the right choice for them and their family. Not choose for them. Just give them the information, the opportunity, unity, and then let the people choose. I agree. Thank you very much. Love you, brother. Keep rocking and rolling. Yes. .
