Overview
Tony from "A Minute to Midnight" interviews frequent guest Leo Hohmann on global issues such as the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the expansion of digital surveillance states, potential global war, and the implications for personal freedom and spirituality, particularly within a Christian context.
Escalation of Ukraine-Russia Conflict
- The Ukraine-Russia war appears to be escalating towards a major global conflict, potentially World War III.
- Most world leaders, including Trump, are not taking actions to deescalate the situation.
- Public indifference is growing, with many tuning out ongoing global crises.
- Involvement of NATO troops in Ukraine is anticipated, which could trigger a broader conflict with Russia.
- Western provocations, including military deployments and advanced missile systems near Russia, increase the risk of catastrophic escalation.
Rise of the Digital Surveillance State
- Rapid development of biometric digital surveillance infrastructure is underway in the U.S. and globally.
- Large-scale contracts (e.g., with Palantir, Lidos) are being awarded to data-gathering firms.
- Digital IDs and data centers will likely lead to increased utility costs due to their energy and water demands.
- Trump supports and is seeking funding for projects advancing mass surveillance ("Project Stargate").
- The Real ID Act and international pressure are fostering a global biometric tracking network.
Central Bank Digital Currencies and Stable Coins
- There are moves towards replacing fiat currency with digital currencies (stable coins), initially running alongside the dollar but potentially becoming dominant.
- Trump publicly opposes CBDCs but supports stable coins, which function similarly and are backed by major banks.
Health Tech, Wearables, & Depopulation Concerns
- Politicians like RFK Jr. promote health wearables, raising privacy and surveillance concerns.
- Advances in wearables and integration with digital currencies may lead to “total information awareness.”
- Global elite allegedly seek population reduction, as maintaining surveillance over billions with AI is technologically and energetically challenging.
- Declining birth rates are noted and linked to environmental, dietary, pharmaceutical, and vaccination trends.
Critique of Political Leadership and the “Deep State” Narrative
- Trump is criticized for aligning with establishment figures (e.g., Lindsey Graham) and pursuing aggressive, threatening policies.
- The idea of an anti-establishment “deep state” is challenged; the majority of politicians are seen as part of the system.
- Both major parties are argued to facilitate globalist and technocratic agendas under different names.
Spiritual and Practical Guidance
- Christians are encouraged to seek discernment and preparedness (mentally, physically, spiritually) for challenging times.
- Emphasis is placed on not blindly trusting political leaders but relying on biblical discernment and faith in Jesus Christ.
Recommendations / Advice
- Pray for spiritual discernment to recognize deception and understand current events through a biblical lens.
- Prepare for potential crises by staying informed and maintaining spiritual, mental, and physical readiness.
- Avoid placing ultimate trust in political figures or solutions; focus on enduring faith.
