In analyzing what's happening in our world, I'm struck by a couple of very important things that I'd like to share with you.
But first, just a thank you for all of your comments of support.
I was really touched by all of the outpouring of support in response to my article, a recent article that said thank you for your support.
I guess I'm thanking you again for your support in supporting the thank you that I said before.
So we're in a recursive support loop, which is a good thing.
So we support each other.
That's how we gain strength and move forward.
And really, that's what this talk is all about.
So thank you for joining me.
This is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, healthrangerreport.com.
Now what I'm really struck by in observing what's going on in the world is just how rapidly things are headed for a, well, I want to choose the right word here carefully.
Sometimes I use the word collapse in a casual sense.
But it's not an all-of-a-sudden collapse.
It's really more of things coming to a crescendo and then sort of falling apart.
There's going to be conflict.
There's going to be a lot of social unrest.
A lot of people's understanding of reality is going to be shattered by events that are coming that are mathematically certain, such as, just for example, The collapse of the pension systems across America, you know, the Dallas pension system, the New York pension system, the Chicago pension system.
All of the pensioners in the state of California, many of whom are not going to receive the money they think that they've earned, they're not going to get a lot of it, I should say.
So there are a lot of people whose views or beliefs are going to be absolutely shattered.
And what's fascinating about this particular moment in time, or even a moment in history, is that those of us who are informed, like you and I, who are maybe, you know, one in, let's say, one in a hundred people at most.
It's probably more like one in five hundred people.
We can see what's coming, or at least we can see we have an idea of what's coming.
We know that the laws of debt cannot be reversed, for example.
We can see the geopolitical conflict.
We can see the fracturing of the nation, of the culture, of the belief systems, and all of this.
So we can see what's coming.
We live in a society where we are surrounded by people who are oblivious to what's coming.
And so, they are unprepared.
Almost by definition, because they are suffering from what's called normalcy bias, which means they wake up every day, the world that they see every day, because it's the same day after day after day.
They believe that it will continue forever, that it cannot change.
They think that the unsustainable world Actions in our world today are in fact somehow sustainable.
Why?
Have they ever really thought about it?
No.
They just believe it because that's been their experience, and their experience has been short.
You know, even a human lifetime is short.
Especially in the sense of some of the things that are coming, because the crash that's coming will be a once-in-a-lifetime type of event.
And most people living today who are in their adult years have never experienced the kind of thing that is coming.
So in a sense, you can't blame people for not being able to really anticipate this.
It's never been part of their life experience.
But my point is that there's a great chasm between those who understand what's coming and those who have no clue, who are oblivious.
And it is this chasm that represents a great danger in society because it will feed the destabilization once things start to unravel.
And that's a very important point.
And I've also, I've got a strategy for how to help you and all of us who are in the know to help all of us thrive through this or survive it or be okay, you know, protect ourselves, help others when we can and so on.
And I'll share that strategy with you here in this podcast.
But first, let me explain that this chasm creates an incredible danger because those who are not in the know will be caught completely unprepared.
by the things that unfold.
world.
Let me just give you a great example of this.
The California secession movement There are many, many political leftists who believe that they want California to be its own state because they want an open borders society and they want an inclusive society and they want free entitlements for everyone.
You know, welcome the refugees of the world, okay?
So they want to create their own nation-state known as Collapsifornia.
Well, that's what I jokingly call it.
But let's call it the Republic of California, or more accurately, the United Soviet Socialist Republic of California is what it would really be.
The USSR Kali would be a more accurate name.
But hear me out on this.
These Californians think that if they secede from the nation, from the United States, that they would be a more, I guess, free state.
But look at what they believe in.
If they were to become their own nation, they would drop their border with Mexico, and they would offer free entitlements to all of the new refugees and immigrants that would flood into California to collect the new welfare benefits, the education benefits, the and they would offer free entitlements to all of the new refugees and immigrants that would
California, if it got its wish, would very quickly be so overrun with Mexican and South American and Central American refugees that California would simply be consumed by Mexico.
It would very quickly revert to a part of Mexico.
It would be absorbed into Mexico.
It might not be the whole state.
It might be only the southern part of California.
Maybe the northern part would lead a resistance.
Like, no, we're not going with you.
We're not going with you.
We're not going to become like Mexico City.
No.
But LA, San Diego, most of Southern California would simply, it would become just like Mexico, which is, of course, a drug-infested, a narco-state, basically.
Extremely corrupt.
Where citizens don't have the right to defend themselves because guns are restricted and where laws are not really followed by those in power.
So it's a perfect description of the leftist political elite.
That's what they are like.
They like to live in a lawless society with mass poverty where people are dependent on government handouts and the citizens can't own guns so the government stays in power forever.
Even though it's incredibly corrupt.
This is exactly what California would become.
So in a sense, they would get their wish.
But there are a whole lot of people with money living in places like, oh, I don't know, Hollywood.
Living in places like Santa Barbara.
Well, I guess that's a little, not quite as far south as some of the cities I'm talking about, but You get the point.
There are a lot of rich, wealthy people in California who have no idea that, and pardon my description here, that they would be murdered and robbed and raped by the Mexican drug gangs that would flood into California at the first opportunity.
They would just flood into California.
Do you think that the Mexican drug gangs are going to respect the little walls that wealthy Hollywood celebrities have built around their mansions and their estates there in Los Angeles or other places?
Do you think the Mexican drug lords...
Are going to just play nice with all the rich, liberal, elite, white people there who have luxury cars and who have multi-million dollar homes?
Do you think...
I mean, what are these people thinking?
That if they secede from America and they become California and they open the border, do they think that...
I mean, it makes no sense.
Did they think that all these drug criminals and cartels and gangbangers from Mexico are just going to, what, leave them alone?
No!
They're going to rush in and loot the place.
And they're going to rob and pillage and rape and do whatever they can get away with.
And you see, people are so delusional.
This is that chasm I was talking about, the chasm between people who are in the know and people who are oblivious.
And these people who are trying to get California to secede from the nation while continuing to have an open borders policy and a welfare state, they are delusional.
They're oblivious because they've been living in this protected bubble.
So they don't understand how vicious...
The drug gangs can really be.
Now, you might ask, well, Mike, how do you know?
Well, if you've known me for very long, and I know most of you have followed me for many years, you know I lived in Ecuador.
I've traveled extensively.
I speak conversational Spanish.
I had residency in South America for two years.
I had an Ecuadorian driver's license.
I've seen these cultures firsthand.
I've toured throughout many countries, not just of Central and South America, but also of the world.
And I have seen exactly what people are capable of when society becomes lawless.
And there are experiences that I have been subjected to that I won't even talk about publicly because I don't want to freak you out.
But there are situations that I have escaped from through protection that were very dangerous.
And what that taught me is that when society becomes lawless, Everyday people can become extremely dangerous.
They can become your worst enemy.
Your neighbor can turn on you, put a gun to your head and demand your food, for example, in a collapsed scenario.
And most Americans aren't psychologically prepared to face that fact.
They're used to living in a polite society.
And the problem with living in a polite society is that if you live in it long enough, you think that that's how everybody operates.
You think that that's what is ingrained in humanity.
You think that people are inherently nice.
I'm here to tell you that that's not at all the way humanity is.
The only reason that people are polite in society right now to the extent that they even are is because they're operating under the threat of being arrested or shot or imprisoned by police.
If you take that away, the guy living down the street that you think is nice because he grilled hamburgers with you at a barbecue weekend one day, he'll be breaking into your home, stealing everything he can get his hands on, robbing you blind, maybe even shooting you just so that he can steal your prescription medication or whatever he needs.
Look, you don't have to believe me on this.
Maybe some of you do.
Some of you who are veterans, you've been on the front lines.
You've seen war.
You've seen death.
You've seen combat.
Maybe some of you are cops.
I know I have a lot of cops that listen to the show.
If you're a cop, you know exactly what I'm talking about because you've seen the domestic disturbance calls.
You know what goes on behind closed doors when people think they can get away with whatever.
The drinking, the violence, the beating, the mind games, the stealing, the looting, the drug gangs, stealing from each other, shooting each other, the violence in places like Chicago.
You know that.
You've seen it.
Maybe even if you're an EMT, you've seen it too.
You've seen the stabbings and the shootings.
You know, some of you, some of you who are living on those front lines of society, you've seen what humanity is capable of.
But most people, most of the time, are living in a shell of society, an artificial construct overlay.
You might call it a politeness overlay.
And that politeness overlay gives you the false impression that people are inherently nice and honest and trustworthy and compassionate.
And many people attempt to act that way in public as well.
You know, virtue signaling and that kind of thing.
But behind the scenes, they're really dark, evil individuals.
And they're just faking it in public.
Many of them are that way.
You'd be shocked.
You'd be shocked if you knew the truth about maybe even some people, some famous people, some celebrities and so on.
Now here's a crucial realization.
When times are good, it's easy for everybody to be polite.
When there's enough money to go around, you know, everybody's got a job, basically.
Or there's, you know, the economy is in good shape, fuel prices are affordable, food is abundant and food is on the store shelves and so on, electricity is working, all these things.
When this is happening in society, it's very easy to For almost everyone to be basically polite.
And so in an abundant society, politeness, it's reinforced in your mind psychologically that this is the way people are.
Yeah, people are nice.
People get along.
People cooperate.
They work together to solve problems.
But now what happens when a society begins to fall apart is And as those signs of prosperity begin to be ripped away one by one, maybe the jobs aren't as abundant anymore.
The economy starts going down.
Maybe there's a food shortage.
Food's not available in the grocery stores with the same abundance that it once was.
Now there's A mad dash competition to try to get the remaining food.
Maybe the power grid goes down.
Maybe the water supply gets turned off.
Maybe the banking system stops processing ATM transactions or food stamps, for that matter.
Whatever it is, when there's a restriction, when things begin to unravel, That thin veneer of politeness vanishes.
And what's left underneath it is the raw, animalistic, violent man.
And by man, I mean any gender.
You can have a violent man, a violent woman, or even a violent transgender person screaming at you and trying to steal your food.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what gender they think they are.
They're hungry.
They want some food.
This is what can happen and will happen very, very rapidly as things begin to unravel in the future, in the near future, I believe.
And so it's important to always keep this in mind that you are a good person and you know that about yourself and I know that I'm a good person.
And that we are driven by ethics and morals and compassion for fellow human beings and even a spiritual calling to try to help other people.
That's largely why I do what I do, by the way.
It's a spiritual calling to help other people.
Even people who don't want to be helped, by the way.
I'll talk about that in a minute.
But you are a nice person, and I'm a nice person.
And you may know some other people who are as well, but we live in a society of people who will cease to be polite because they're not driven by morals or ethics or spiritual purpose.
Instead, they will become animalistic.
The metaphor that we use to describe this is the zombie apocalypse.
When people talk about zombies taking over society, or at least when I talk about it, I'm always speaking about it metaphorically.
I'm not talking about an actual I'm talking about a human being who has been reduced to his most animalistic behavior.
And by animalistic, it means that they're driven by their lower brainstem function, that they're driven by a desire for food, a desire for sex, a desire to experience rage.
They're likely to commit violence to achieve their means because they're animalistic.
So this is what they're engaged in, is stealing and feeding and committing violence and threatening and using these raw emotions to get what they want, which may, in some cases, in their minds, include physical sex and The act of physical sex, even if in their minds, even if in their experience, it is achieved through a form of violence.
And this is how societies or mobs in society can behave when they become animalistic.
This is how you get mass raping and looting and stealing and all of these things.
And the scary realization in this is that the potential...
For that kind of behavior exists in every human being alive today.
It's just that most of the time we rise above it.
Most of the time we function with higher brain function.
Most of the time we operate with a greater sense of politeness in society.
But if you want to turn a man into a monster, deny him food and electricity for just five days.
And you will see a monster emerge.
It is a Jekyll and Hyde transformation.
Where you once saw a man, you will now find a monster.
And you do that across an entire city.
And what do you get?
You get collapse.
And this is a scenario that you do not want to be caught in.
So let me shift gears here and talk about some solutions.
There will come a day...
Well, let me back up.
You'll probably notice a lot of the work I do is designed to reach people who are not yet part of the natural news audience.
I'm trying to reach out to other people who might be new to the issue of, let's say, mercury in vaccines.
Because I want to save those children too.
I want to help those people not poison their children.
I've seen too many children harmed by mercury in vaccines.
And I don't want to see a single one more if I can help it.
So I spend a lot of time reaching out to the public at large and even engaging in public debate on these issues that I think are important.
These are big issue items.
What's interesting about that is that many of those items do not speak to you.
You, the existing natural news reader, someone who's already informed.
Because if you've been following natural news for very long at all, you're well informed.
And you already know these things.
So you don't need a lecture about why mercury is dangerous.
You already know that.
You don't need a lecture about glyphosate should be avoided in foods because it's linked to cancer.
You already know that.
You don't need to be convinced that CNN is fake news.
You already know that.
But the mainstream people...
Many of them don't yet know that.
They're still in their slumber.
They're still living inside their indoctrination shells, their delusional worlds that have been elaborately constructed for them by corporations and governments and propaganda organizations such as the mainstream media.
So I've been trying to reach a lot of those people over the years to try to bring them into the natural news awakening, you might call it, which is an awakening based on individual critical thinking where it's always about empowering you, the individual, to think which is an awakening based on individual critical thinking where it's always about empowering you, the individual, to think for yourself, to be self-reliant, to be smarter about your own survival, to be smarter about
and just to be a much more successful candidate.
capable, intelligent, critical thinking human being.
But as we approach the crisis that is coming, as that time gets closer and closer, we are running out of time.
I say this to myself.
We are running out of time to be able to reach those people who are not yet awakened.
It may already be too late for many of them.
And this thought has really hit me hard lately.
I've been thinking more and more that as the signs of what's going to happen begin to really unfold, I'm going to have to shift strategies here and focus on you and not focus on people who are already too late.
They've missed the boat.
They were too busy or too immature to pay attention to reality.
And so they never got prepared.
They never got informed.
They've been taking the mercury shots and they've been eating the pesticides and the food.
They've been poisoning themselves and watching MSNBC. And there's a point at which they are beyond our reach.
Now we're not quite there yet, but that day is coming, and that's actually the point of this podcast, is that I can see that I will need to begin making a conscious shift.
And stop spending time on those who are too far gone or too late to save and instead focus on more practical matters, more practical immediate analysis for those of you who are already in the know on all of these issues.
And so I'm actually putting together a...
You might call it a members-only site, except membership is free.
It's a site where the information is not available to the public because it's so in-depth.
It's so hardcore, you might say, with practical analysis and how-to information and things to do to make it through these trials that are coming that I'm going to have it registration required, which means just your email.
You don't need to put in your name or even a password.
It's just email only.
And if you're already subscribed to the Natural News email list, then your membership is already going to be activated.
So you don't even have to really sign up for it.
You just have to log in once.
Anyway, this is under construction.
It's going to be a new site.
It's not going to be called Natural News.
It'll be a separate site that's really for members only.
Fans.
I don't know if fans is the right word.
It's not even the right word.
Colleagues.
Is it better?
Friends.
How about that?
Friends of Natural News.
It's for all of us.
For me to be able to share information with you in a private forum or semi-private that isn't even, it's not included in any search engine and it's, so it can't be banned by Google.
How's that?
That's pretty funny.
And it's also information that can be really more bold to say exactly what needs to be said and give you the information that needs to be given in a more raw, open format because it's not going to be widely distributed.
In other words, it's not going to be shared on social media.
It's not going to be out on Facebook.
We're not going to tweet about this information.
Nothing.
You're going to hear about it through the email.
You're going to be able to log in with your email only.
No password required.
No name required.
I don't want to even know your name because I want to protect your identity.
And if someone hacked our database, I don't want them to be able to even know your name.
You see, that's how I protect you is by not knowing your information, which is actually the ultimate, you know, anti-hacker protection mechanism.
Just don't even have that info.
It can't be hacked if you don't have it, right?
So I'm going to be launching that soon.
I don't know exactly when.
Let's say 30 to 60 days.
Something in that range, probably.
90 days at most.
But it'll be in place, and I'm going to start, as I see more signs of the unraveling, start to accelerate.
You know, so many issues coming to the forefront now.
The potential for civil war, the potential for, you know, the Fed raising the interest rates and causing a cascading crisis.
Debt collapse, more social chaos, more deep state wars inside the bureaucracy, more potential war posturing with Russia or China or even Iran, North Korea for that matter.
As I start seeing these things happen, I may start to pull back from focusing on public articles and spend more time doing analysis reports, which You really might call intelligence reports or how-to reports for friends of natural news.
Those of you who are already on board.
Those of you who actually have a really good shot at surviving what's coming.
Whereas the mainstream sheeple audience doesn't have much of a chance, frankly.
I don't, I mean, I know it sounds blunt, but there will be a lot of people who won't survive what's coming, sadly.
And, you know, you can, you can lead a horse to water, they say, but you can't make it drink, right?
You can try to save people, but you can't force them to wake up and face reality, right?
Many of them would rather just live their meaningless lives of oblivion and then, I guess, starve to death when a difficult time comes.
You try to help them, but there's a point where you have to disengage from that and focus on the people that you really value, whose lives you can impact the most.
And that's you.
And so that's a deliberate strategy that I'm pursuing.
I'm just looking for the signs.
I'm looking for the right timing on this.
And I'm almost finished setting up a new studio where I'm going to be filming many of the video seminars.
I'm actually going to do a series of seminars.
So a little more in-depth reporting instead of just a short article.
You're going to have like a downloadable video or an audio version of it or even a transcript of it.
Maybe all three in some cases.
So you can access that information in any way you want.
And by the way, it's all going to be free.
There's not a fee involved in it.
It's just going to be supported through the Health Ranger Store.
So if you want to support this whole operation, just go to healthrangerstore.com.
And help us by purchasing products there.
We will keep growing.
We will keep doing this important work.
And we will do our best to help you navigate what's coming.
And it's going to be ugly.
It's going to be crazy.
It's going to be chaotic.
There will be massive disruptions.
There's going to be a lot of disinformation from the mainstream media.
Even the federal government is not going to be able to tell you the truth.
Because they can't come out and say, yeah, the crash has started.
Because that would just make it, you know, triple the crash speed.
So even they're going to have to, just by definition, they're going to have to say, no, it's not bad.
So you can't even trust, you know, the Trump administration is not going to be able, elements of it are simply not going to be able to tell the truth to the public as this is happening because it would create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So where are you going to get good analysis and honest information from You know, it's going to be this new Natural News members-only location.
And maybe other independent media sources.
And that's it.
It's a very small number of people who have the track record now that you know, that you can trust to bring you honest, independent information.
I mean, you know, I was just banned by Google for almost a week.
The entire Natural News website, and again, thank you for supporting me in helping to get that back online.
You know, one of the things that that actually did was it cemented, it validated in the minds of millions of people that, holy crap, you know, the Health Rangers information is for real.
This is the real deal.
You know, Google literally tried to blacklist this entire site.
You know, why?
Because it's so dangerous?
What?
People are asking these kinds of questions.
It actually, in the minds of many people, it actually just drove home the point that, yeah, they're literally trying to wipe out the health rangers' information, to memory hole it and eliminate it from the internet.
Why is that?
The answer is because we are one of the very few honest, independent, self-funded, 100% credible and trustworthy voices that On the internet today.
Everybody else in the mainstream media or the corporate-run media is compromised.
Every single one of them.
There is no reporter at CNN that doesn't get a paycheck signed by a boss that can't cut them off.
Every CNN reporter is a prostitute, a puppet, lying to you, reading a script, doing what they're told to do.
Not one of them is independent like we are at Natural News.
So keep that in mind.
When this starts to hit the fan, you want voices that you know are not compromised.
Voices from people that you know have been through the ringer already, that have survived the trials.
That have been hit with assaults and slander and smears and that the entire status quo system has tried to destroy but failed to destroy.
That's the voice that you want to connect with when it all starts to hit the fan.
Because that's who you know you can trust.
And that's my goal, is to be one of those many voices that helps bring you truthful, honest analysis, information, life-saving knowledge, everything that can help you make it through what's coming.
It's going to be epic.
It's going to be the most challenging event in your lifetime.
It's going to be, I mean...
Historical almost seems to celebrate.
It's more like it's going to be cataclysmic, would be a better term.
History books will write about this for centuries, maybe even a millennia, for all we know.
It's going to shatter the beliefs that people hold about modern civilization and how societies are structured.
I'll just put it that way.
It's going to change everything.
So be ready.
Thank you for tuning in.
