This podcast is brought to you by HealthRangerStore.com.
Lab tested clean foods and supplements for immune function, long term storage, and survival applications.
Every purchase helps fund this free speech video platform.
Thank you for your support.
As we continue our fight for the Republic here, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for supporting what we do and in recognizing how we're taking every effort that we can to build platforms to protect your freedom to speak.
And also to bring you clean food, by the way.
I'll give you a couple of updates on the clean food front here in a second.
But it's really extraordinary that here we are, Natural News, Health Ranger, as one of the most banned voices and platforms in the world.
And remember that we were deplatformed and banned even before Alex Jones was.
And so you look at the level of censorship that has been maliciously unleashed upon us, deplatformed from Twitter and YouTube and just completely eliminated from Google and so on.
I think many people would have thought that by now we would have ceased to exist.
How could you even run a platform without any visibility whatsoever?
And the answer is that you, our fans and our followers and customers, you continue to go to the browser and type in our name directly, you know, naturalnews.com or brighteon.com or now brighteon.social.
Or healthrangerstore.com.
You type it in directly because you're smart.
You don't let Google tell you what the world is.
You don't trust CNN to tell you what you're allowed to read or not read.
You seek out information on your own.
And so through your support, we've been able to not only continue to exist, but even to thrive.
Even to thrive, it's almost shocking.
Our last corporate fiscal year, Of the Health Ranger store, which ended recently, was our record year.
We had the highest sales ever in the history of the Health Ranger store.
Our sales were so high that we were able to expand our equipment.
We have new packing and filling equipment.
We were able to expand our warehouse.
To almost double our warehouse, we added, what, another, what was it, 17,000 square feet?
Something like that.
And I was just there today checking out the rows and rows and rows of pallet racks.
And there was an incoming shipment today of more buckets for the Ranger buckets.
And then we had a giant rig show up full of number 10 cans.
And you have to order that by the truckload, by the way.
You can't do partial truckloads.
They won't sell them that way.
So we ordered an entire rig.
It seems like that's something like 36 pallets or something in that range.
I forgot the exact number, but where do you put 36 pallets?
You got to have a lot of room.
And so with your support, we've been able to invest in the infrastructure to have the space that allows us to purchase not only number 10 cans, but also materials, food, raw materials at better prices.
Because we can buy larger quantities, we get better pricing, and also we're able to sign contracts for long-term supplies, locked in.
Basically, we're purchasing futures on certain organic ingredients and locking it in with farmers and food companies and so on.
And we're able to get food at a lower price so that we can keep our prices low, even as food inflation is really kicking in.
And that's something I don't know if you've noticed that, but where food prices have been rising everywhere else at grocery stores and in most online retailers, we have barely had any price increases.
at the Health Ranger store.
Hardly any.
We did have to raise the Ranger buckets, I think, $20 not long ago, but that was mostly due to the increases in shipping costs, not even increases in the food prices because we're able to get, again, really good deals on food.
So the thing is, we're investing the support that you give us, you know, the revenues that you give us.
When you shop at the Health Ranger store, we're investing that in building a bigger infrastructure so that we can bring you more clean food at better prices, even when food inflation is hitting everybody else.
We think that as long as we can continue this method of bulk purchases and lab testing and doing our own manufacturing in-house, we can bring you food at prices that's very, very competitive.
And by the way, you know, nobody else is doing the lab testing that we're doing.
There's nobody else in the industry that does that.
You know, all the heavy metals testing and the glyphosate testing and the microbiology testing.
Did you know that just the liquid chromatography column, it's a replaceable part, it's called a column.
The column that we use to test for glyphosate, that column alone costs $800 and it's only good for maybe a couple of thousand tests.
And for each food item, Typically, it's anywhere from two to three tests.
So, you know, just the column alone costs for every sample that we run.
That's not even to mention the equipment.
And a one-year contract from the equipment manufacturer to cover the warranty and what's called preventive maintenance, the one-year contract, I'm not even kidding, is $45,000.
I know that because I had to just approve that.
So, you know, we just spent $45,000 just to have a warranty on this triple-quad mass spec instrument for one year.
And that's the one that's doing the glyphosate testing and pesticides and so on.
So there are really large costs associated with doing the testing that we're doing.
But we're dedicated to that.
You know, it's what I believe in, clean food and healing the world through clean food.
You see, I think that freedom of speech and clean food is a big part of the answer for how we create a better world.
And, you know, of course, there's also a faith part of this, you know, belief in God and having Christian principles and so on.
But my focus in terms of what I really promote in the world is clean food and freedom.
And that's why the things that I build are, you know, food infrastructure, such as the Health Ranger store warehouse I just described.
And then also platforms for freedom of speech, such as Brighteon.com and Brighteon.social.
And, you know, there's a reason that that's where I put resources.
That's what I do with money.
When I get a hold of...
Dollars?
Number one, I don't have any faith in dollars.
I don't think they're going to last very long.
So I try to get rid of them as quickly as possible.
And what do I do with those dollars?
I pump it into infrastructure.
So I'm either building infrastructure for brighttown.com, hiring R&D teams, adding engineers to the teams, or building infrastructure with brighttown.social, or...
Building infrastructure for the Health Ranger store.
These are the things that I do.
This is what I feel is important to do in our world.
And you've probably known me for a long time.
Dollars, money, it has a utility, but only if you use it.
If you take money and put it away somewhere, some people call that saving it.
I actually happen to know that's destroying it.
You know why?
Because your money is losing value every day if you're holding it in dollars.
Every single day, you're losing a percentage because of the money printing by the central banks.
So to save money is to lose money.
But to spend money on good projects that promote your core beliefs, such as clean food and freedom, that is putting money to use.
That is using money in a way that has purpose and that will make the world a better place.
And that's what we do over and over and over again.
That's how we've gone from nothing to a substantial provider of clean food products, even under circumstances of extreme censorship, which no one thought would be possible.
And we have no advertising on any other platform.
We don't advertise on Facebook or anywhere.
We just...
We promote our store and our products on our own platforms, and that's it.
So that's how we're able to keep it all going is, you know, people understand that with us, we're giving back to the community.
We're giving back to patriots.
We're giving back to people who believe in freedom and who believe in clean food.
And it's that two-way street where people see that.
You know, people come on to Brighteon.social and they chat with me.
At night, you know, and they can reach me directly.
They'll send me suggestions and sometimes they'll criticize me and I'll read those criticisms and sometimes I agree with them and I'll say, yeah, thanks for bringing that up.
We'll do better next time.
People interact with me and many other people directly on brighttown.social and I'm there with you.
See, I'm committed to using these platforms to To promote the freedoms that I'm talking about here.
For me, it's not just talk.
It's walking the talk.
It's living the lifestyle that I'm promoting and living the principles that I talk about.
And I do that every day.
Every day I'm growing sprouts.
Every day I'm doing superfood smoothies.
Every day I'm taking nutritional supplements or eating superfoods, usually both.
Every single day, I'm practicing some form of prepping.
Every single day, I'm exercising.
I'm doing strength training and cardio exercises every day.
I've got a really awesome quadricycle bicycle.
Well, it's a quadricycle, but it's like a four-wheel bike.
And I peddle that around, you know, and while I'm listening to brighttown.com videos, for the most part, I just pull up videos and start listening to other people to see what they posted on there.
And I'm constantly tuned into information, and then whenever I learn something or a source comes to me and gives me information, then I share it with you.
Because I don't hold on to stuff and...
I don't hoard information.
I don't hoard money or anything.
I'm a conduit to get that information to you.
Something comes to me, I share it with you.
When money comes to me, I invest it in platforms that benefit you.
And I believe there's something kind of cosmic or divine about this.
That people who are good stewards of resources, I believe God blesses us with more resources.
In other words, if you were to come into a bunch of money and you happen to be just a greedy bastard who held onto it and didn't put it to good use, then God wouldn't bring you more money.
Unless your name was Biden and you just got money from the communists and Ukraine and everywhere and cocaine and free hookers, I guess.
But for the rest of us who are on a different path from Hunter Biden, We need to be good stewards of the resources so that God sees that we are worthy of being granted more success and more dollars perhaps, more audience perhaps, even if we're being censored.
We can still make it.
We can still reach the people who count.
And that's what I believe is happening here.
I don't think I would have any of this success if I wasn't a person of ethics I think that what you see happening with us, with the expansion of HealthRangerStore and the expansion of our platforms, I truly believe this is a direct result of my daily practice of ethics and truth, honesty, transparency, all these things.
I think that that's the only reason why I am blessed with these things.
And I think that's the only reason why you support me as well, because you see that Just straight up transparency of who we are and what we're doing and why we're doing it.
And that really matters.
So with that said, I do want to thank you for all of your support and the fact that you choose to support us in what we're doing.
And you see the importance of it, especially in this time of extreme censorship and media lies and the toxins that are in the food supply.
And you also see the big corporations buying up all the small food companies and the superfood companies and cheapening everything.
And it's just...
You see, the whole world is going to crap, right?
And there are very few, very few people or especially business owners in this world who hold the line on ethics.
And I'll tell you this straight out.
I would rather be out of business than to be in a business where I had to compromise ethics in order to function.
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it.
I'd rather be doing no business than to do a shady business.
And that's why there are a thousand decisions that happen every month that you don't even see that are internal decisions that have to do with integrity, decisions that we make.
Let me give you an example, a very specific one.
This wasn't recent, but it did happen.
We had ordered a pomegranate juice powder from a company.
This was actually a couple years ago, but it's a good example.
And I think we ordered at that time something like 500 kilos.
And we got the powder in.
It was in cardboard boxes with very thick plastic containers inside, you know, so it's well protected.
And...
Of course, we open up one of the cases in order to do a heavy metals test on what we received.
And when we opened it up, we looked at it, we're like, this is unusually pinkish for pomegranate juice powder.
We would expect it to be darker red, not so pink.
And so I tasted it, you know, got a scoop and took a taste.
Well, like, that tastes really sweet.
It doesn't taste like pomegranate juice powder because pomegranate juice powder is supposed to be rather bitter.
But this tasted really sweet, almost sugary.
And I remember saying to some of my other managers, saying, you know, I don't think that's pomegranate juice powder.
I think that's mixed with something.
I think it's probably cut with maltodextrin.
And we went back to the company that sold us that and we said, look, we think there's maltodextrin in this, even though it wasn't on the label, wasn't on the certificate of authenticity or anything, wasn't on the sales sheet, nothing.
They came back to us and said, yep, you're right.
This is 75% maltodextrin.
We said, WTF, man, because we just bought this from you and your sheet doesn't say anything about maltodextrin.
And they said, well, technically it's just a carrier and it doesn't count as an ingredient under FDA, right?
So according to law...
Technically, we could have, if we were not ethical, we could have sold that to the public as pomegranate juice powder and not mention the maltodextrin.
But of course, I said, no way we're doing that because that's BS. This is 75% maltodextrin.
Probably GMO, too.
So I told them, I said, send it back.
They tried to send it back.
Couldn't send it back.
No refund.
So we just ate the loss.
We ate it.
I mean, not literally.
We destroyed the product.
Couldn't sell it.
I mean, didn't want to sell it because it was unethical.
And then, what do you know?
On Amazon.com, I see other companies selling the exact same thing.
Pomegranate juice powder, I actually bought one of theirs.
Just to see what it is.
Guess what?
Same thing.
75% maltodextrin.
I know because I looked at it and I tasted it.
Same exact thing.
But they don't say maltodextrin.
So just a good example of what this really is.
And it's incredibly common.
The scams out there are incredibly common.
And we make, like I said, a thousand decisions every month.
To hold the line of integrity, decisions that you never even hear about.
About, you know, food ingredients and food sourcing and lab tests and then retesting and saying no to food providers, you know, specific manufacturing lots and then demanding they hold a lot for us while we finish the testing and all these other things.
Because we believe in what we're doing.
It's a passion.
It's a mission.
It's not just a job.
It's not a venture.
It's a mission.
And I feel the same way about free speech, too.
So that's a little inside baseball there of how we operate and why we do what we do.
And again, to wrap this up, I want to thank you for supporting me.
And I hope this helps you gain an even deeper understanding of who I am and who we are and why we do what we do and why people support us.
So thank you for your support, and be sure to check out all our platforms, healthrangerstore.com, as well as brighteon.com and brighteon.social.
