Hey everyone.

My name is Tom Oliver Reginawa.

Welcome to today's episode of Manova International. We're recording this in February of 2025.

And a quick note up front, as you most likely will realize in a few minutes,

I'm not a native speaker, so please be with my German accent.

As long as I don't sound like Klaus Schwab or the German Foreign Minister, I think we're good though.

My guess will do most of the talking.

Let's bring him on.

Welcome, James Corbett.

Thank you very much for having me on, Tom Oliver.

It is a pleasure to be here.

Thanks for taking time.

I guess most of my readers will know you.

However, in case someone doesn't,

which I hope there's not a lot of people,

would you mind briefly introducing yourself first?

Sure. I am James Corbett of CorbettReport.com, and I guess if you want the very long story,

we could go back to the 1970s, where I was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, but you probably

don't want the whole story. Anyway, I landed here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, but you probably don't want the whole story.

Anyway, I landed here in Japan in 2004 as an lowly English teacher, and it was sometime around

2006 that I started stumbling down the internet rabbit hole, discovering information about how the

world really works, and well, maybe you and your audience know this.
