JAMES CORBETT: By now, you’ve no doubt heard about the latest Polymarket scandal.

ANCHOR: We’re learning that a special forces soldier has been charged for making more than $400,000 by betting on whether or not Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro would be removed from office. And here’s the thing: according to the indictment, the officer participated in the planning and execution of the operation and used that classified information to allegedly profit.

CORBETT: But have you heard Trump’s response to this scandal?

DONALD TRUMP: The whole world unfortunately has become somewhat of a casino. And you look at what’s going on all over the world in Europe and every place, they’re doing these betting things. I was never much in favor of it. I don’t like it conceptually, but it is what it is.

CORBETT: It is what it is…but what is it, exactly?

And then i’m going to explain to you how it can be used in the next generation of predictive programming false flag events.
