I was joined on the broadcast by technocracy expert and author Patrick Wood, a man who has been warning about globalism, technocracy, and centralized power structures for decades. As headlines continue to accelerate, it is becoming increasingly clear that what once sounded theoretical is now unfolding in real time. From global banking control to speech suppression in Europe, the evidence continues to mount that Western nations are moving rapidly away from constitutional liberty.
We began with what can only be described as a rare piece of good news: the United States withdrawing from dozens of globalist organizations. President Trump’s decision to pull America out of roughly 66 international bodies, including many tied to the United Nations, represents a significant break from decades of global entanglement. Patrick agreed this move was long overdue and underscored how deeply embedded these organizations have been in shaping policy far beyond public scrutiny.
The NATO Question and the Cost of Alliance
The conversation quickly turned to NATO and whether continued American involvement makes any sense given the current state of Europe. The issue is no longer about defending free nations that share common values. Europe, particularly Great Britain, is increasingly hostile to free speech, religious liberty, and basic civil rights. Arrests for online speech, aggressive debanking policies, and ideological enforcement now define much of the continent.
Patrick explained that Europe cannot sustain itself militarily without the United States, meaning NATO collapses the moment America steps away. But that reality forces a hard question: why should American blood and treasure be spent defending regimes that actively suppress liberty? At some point, the moral calculus changes.
Debanking and the End of Economic Freedom
One of the most alarming developments discussed was the explosion of debanking in the United Kingdom. Hundreds of thousands of accounts have been closed, not for criminal behavior, but for ideological reasons. Political exposure laws originally designed to stop corruption have been weaponized against ordinary citizens, members of parliament, and outspoken public figures.
Patrick explained that banks are no longer operating as free-market institutions but as quasi-monopolies enforcing ideological compliance. When financial access is denied, participation in society itself becomes impossible. This is not capitalism; it is technocratic control disguised as regulation.
Free Speech Criminalized in Britain
We examined statements from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer that make clear just how far Britain has drifted. Hundreds have been arrested, including individuals charged for online activity alone. Starmer’s open hostility toward X and calls for regulatory crackdowns reveal a government no longer interested in protecting dissent.
Patrick pointed out that Starmer’s membership in the Trilateral Commission is not incidental. It reflects a worldview in which power is centralized, populations are managed, and liberty is treated as a liability. The arrest of citizens for criticizing migrant crime, lockdown policies, or government actions signals that Britain has crossed into open authoritarianism.
Agriculture, Food Supply, and the Coming Shock
The discussion then moved to agriculture and food security, triggered by reports of farmers abandoning thousands of acres due to economic pressure. Patrick’s background in farming allowed him to explain the cascading consequences. When farmers stop leasing land, elderly landowners lose rental income used to pay property taxes. That puts generational farmland at risk of foreclosure or takeover by NGOs and conservation trusts.
This is not accidental. It is part of a long-term strategy that has been unfolding for decades, quietly transferring land from private families into institutional control. Reduced planting leads to reduced supply, which inevitably drives prices higher. Food shortages and inflation are not separate crises—they are connected outcomes of technocratic planning.
Central Bankers as Political Rulers
One of the most sobering portions of the broadcast centered on the rise of central bankers into direct political leadership. Patrick shared findings from his research on the Trilateral Commission, noting that traditional commercial bankers have increasingly been replaced by central bank officials themselves. These unelected figures now move seamlessly into prime ministerial and presidential roles.
Examples from Europe, Canada, and past financial crises show that when nations collapse economically, central bankers are installed as “temporary” leaders. But increasingly, they are not leaving. Patrick explained that this shift aligns perfectly with the technocratic model, where economic control replaces democratic accountability.
Bible Prophecy and the Ten Kings
As we examined these developments through a biblical lens, the discussion turned to prophecy. Scripture describes ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom but who will, for a short time, give their authority to the Beast. For years, many assumed these would be political leaders of regional blocs. But what if they are central bankers instead?
Patrick agreed this is a serious possibility. Those who control the financial system already control governments. The transition from monetary authority to political authority is no longer theoretical—it is happening now. Tokenization of assets, central bank digital currencies, and the collapse of debt-based systems all point toward an asset-controlled global economy managed by technocrats.
Understanding the Times
What makes conversations like this essential is not speculation but discernment. Jesus rebuked leaders who could read the weather but not the times. The men of Issachar were praised because they understood the times and knew how Israel should respond. That is the task before us now.
The convergence of speech suppression, financial control, agricultural destabilization, and unelected global leadership is not random. It is coordinated. Patrick Wood has been warning about this trajectory for decades, and the events now unfolding confirm those warnings with sobering clarity.
This is not about fear. It is about awareness. And awareness is the first step toward standing firm in truth as the technocratic system continues to tighten its grip on the world.
