Who Really Owns Liberty? France Wants the Statue Back and Trade Wars Escalate

On this episode of Across the Pond, Trent Loos welcomes back author Teresa Platt to dive into the pressing issues shaping our world today. They kick things off with a lighthearted discussion on syncing time changes, but things quickly turn serious as they explore France’s shocking claim that it wants the Statue of Liberty back. What’s behind this sudden demand, and does it signal deeper tensions between nations? From there, Trent and Teresa tackle the growing trade wars, highlighting how certain countries are deliberately avoiding American goods. Is this just economic strategy, or is there a bigger agenda at play? The conversation takes a hard look at the modern banking system and its unsettling role in making war profitable. Has global finance become a tool for endless conflict? Shifting gears to trade agreements, they break down the USA, Canada, and Mexico’s trade pacts, questioning how these deals impact national sovereignty. Just how independent is Canada when it comes to global decision-making? Teresa provides insights from Chapter 33 of her book, Dark Side of Hunger Mountain, which exposes the hidden dangers of international debt, the erosion of sovereignty, and the alarming 30 by 30 agenda—an initiative that could change the very way land and resources are controlled. With governments pushing policies that threaten private ownership and national independence, is this really about conservation, or is it about power and control? Teresa and Trent connect the dots, revealing a web of political and economic forces shaping the future. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion that challenges mainstream narratives and brings the truth to the forefront.
