Situation Update ADDENDUM for Jan. 17th - GOOD faith people vs BAD faith actors
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Special addendum.
This is in response to yesterday's podcast, which many people found really devastating.
And I gotta tell you, it was devastating for me, too.
You know, as much as it may have been devastating to hear...
You know, imagine being the person who has to be the bearer of that news.
And as we say in our culture, don't shoot the messenger.
But people do shoot the messenger.
That's why they have that saying, don't shoot the messenger, because everybody kept shooting the messenger.
Like, you're bringing me bad news?
Bad news is going to shoot you, you know?
So it's hard for me as well.
But I want to offer some information here on discernment and lay out The fact that there are still scenarios where Trump can prevail.
But first, let's talk about good faith people versus bad faith actors.
This is the discernment piece that I think is really important.
And this is a very useful way to look at information that you're receiving from various sources, including myself.
And I know that all of us listen to different people and check out different sources, which is great.
That's the way it should be.
But there are really two kinds of people offering information about the current situation, you know, with the election and what's going on in D.C. and all that.
There are good faith people and there are bad faith actors.
So a good faith person is someone who's operating in good faith who has the intention of bringing you honest, accurate information.
And typically that person is someone who loves America and has Christian principles and so on.
Someone who's not, you know, a former CIA person, typically.
Someone who just cares about their country.
And then there are bad faith actors, and bad faith actors are hired by the deep state, which essentially includes the CIA, Or globalists and so on.
And their goal is to act in bad faith.
And their goals can be to push noise, disinformation into the information ecosystem, or to give you false hope, or to lead you astray, or even to motivate you to take some action that they want you to take.
It's all about shaping the battlefield.
And they're bad faith actors Who use psychological operations and information warfare campaigns.
And there are a lot of those people.
In fact, the sad part, the frustrating part about what I've discovered lately is that there are a lot more people like that than what I ever suspected.
And I hear this from people who've come out of D.C., they've come out of the swamp, and they say things like this.
Oh, my God, you have no idea.
Everybody's corrupt.
It's so bad.
You know, those are the kinds of things they say.
So even just commenting on the swamp, you see all of these examples of deep state people running psychological operations.
Now, here's the thing.
A good faith person, and there are lots of good faith people, I'm one.
I would consider Scott McKay to be one.
And Kesterson, Scott Kesterson, he's a good faith person.
And there are lots of good faith people out there.
Even Alex Jones, also, I would consider to be a good faith person.
He's trying to get it right.
He's trying to work for the Republic and so on.
Steve Quayle is a good faith person and so on.
Lots and lots of people who are operating in good faith.
Good faith people can have accurate information and inaccurate information.
In other words, they can have good information and bad information.
But when they have bad information, it's not intentional.
It's not deliberate.
And you know this.
I mean, you're human, too.
We're all human, so we make mistakes.
Or we do our best.
We try to take the best guess at where things are.
And sometimes...
Sources that are talking to us, they may have imperfect information.
This is especially true when there's high security surrounding operations or military operations.
So it's called operational security or OPSEC. And this is why I've said before that really no one is going to know what's actually happening deep inside the system.
You know, whatever Trump's decisions are, if he's got some kind of last minute, you know, Hail Mary plan to save America with the military, certainly there's going to be strong operational security around that and we're not going to know about it.
So all we can do is look at the evidence and take our best educated guess.
And so that's what we do.
And we're not always accurate.
But the things that I've pointed at recently as a justification for optimism, those things are very real.
There is the 2018 executive order.
That gave Trump a lot of power to do a lot of things in cases where elections are rigged with cyber warfare.
We do have John Ratcliffe's DNI report that has been given to the president.
Mike Pompeo has spoken out and warned about the CCP for many, many months.
Trump did put Chris Miller in place at the DOD, for example.
Chris Miller did alter the order of command to put special forces under him directly to report to him.
Trump did sign numerous executive orders.
In fact, one on January 11th granting FEMA emergency authorization to do some very important things around D.C. Trump has signed executive orders that are working to deny China the funding that it uses to carry out attacks against the United States and so on.
You can look at all these documents.
You can even look at the, what was it, September 20th, 2018 document.
About alterations in cyber warfare for the United States military.
All of these things, the testimony of Phil Waldron, talking about how we have the packets, it was monitored, the raid on the servers in Frankfurt, which did happen.
All these things are real.
And all these things, if we were looking at what they mean, it was clearly pointing to some kind of operation that Involving Trump and the military to take action and save the nation.
It's just that now in this late stage, none of the action has been taken.
That's where we are now.
So when I've brought to you all these data points, those are all real.
And for the most part, those are things that you can confirm yourself.
Many of them are at whitehouse.gov.
So you can go on there and read them.
Or you can find confirmations in many, many news organizations.
So all those things are real.
Whereas a bad faith actor will use disinformation, but also a lot of wishy-washy language.
And because I've listened to many of these people that I now know to be bad faith actors, and I'm not here to name names because I don't want to get into that nastiness, but they use a lot of similar...
Phrases and logic traps.
For example, they will rarely answer a question in any kind of concrete way.
They will typically deflect questions and they'll have wishy-washy answers or they'll go into some totally unrelated story, some allegory or something about number patterns or something to deflect from the question.
The other thing they'll do is they will claim to be insiders with insider information and they'll use phrases like, oh, I've been allowed to tell you this much, but I can't tell you the rest.
You know, things like that.
Or they'll say after an event happens, they will say, well, I knew in advance about that thing, but I wasn't allowed to tell you until now.
Well, you know, we all see it now.
That's, I mean...
That doesn't mean you have super secret inside information.
We all saw what happened after it happened.
So those are the kinds of phrases.
And then also the never-ending changes in statements that are very affirmative, like someone saying, oh, I have been assured that Joe Biden will not be allowed to be sworn in.
His hand will never touch that Bible.
Trump will be president.
On January 20th, this is 100% guaranteed.
And then as we approach January 20th, that person changes their story to something like, oh, well now I've been told that the plan is to allow Joe Biden to be president for a period of time so that America can see the full evil of communism before the country is saved.
Things like that.
So they make a statement of absolute certainty, and you want to believe it.
It sounds good.
You're like, yeah, Joe Biden shouldn't be president.
So we all buy into that, and then they change their statement, and suddenly the certainty is not there anymore.
And it's just being led on.
You know, it's just being led on by almost like a gambling addiction, where people are like, if I just pull that lever one more time on the blackjack machine, I mean, I'm sure I'm going to get the triple lucky seven jackpot this time, you know?
It's really kind of like a gambling addiction.
And so we've got to practice discernment, which is something that I've been emphasizing for quite some time in these podcasts.
And you may recall I've even talked about beware of confirmation bias, where we get the information or we're attracted to information that we want to hear, and then we multiply that information and forward those videos to our friends because we want to hear those things, rather than taking in a much more broad account of what actually is.
And this is a cognitive trap for all of us, including myself.
You know, confirmation bias is something that is frankly hardwired into human neurology.
It's part of who we all are, and that's why we have to always be on the lookout for that trap.
So when we're choosing who to listen to and what to believe, watch out for all of these signs and ask yourself with each person that you're listening or watching to.
For example, you know, Ask yourself, how does this person get paid?
See, this is an important question.
You know, if you watch Alex Jones, you know how Alex gets paid because he's talking about the InfoWars store and the supplements that they sell.
And I'm in the same boat.
You know how I get paid.
You know, healthrangerstore.com.
That's how I get paid.
And then there are people who claim to be super secret insiders.
That come on and do videos.
And you're like, how does this person get paid?
Why are they doing this?
And often the answer is they're being paid by the CIA. That's how they're getting paid.
If there's no obvious way that they're getting paid, you should raise some red flags.
And then there are also people who publicly say that they were previously part of the CIA or intelligence operations.
And I've heard various people admit in online videos that they used to run false flag operations for the CIA or they used to run psychological operations for the State Department or the CIA or whoever.
And they admit this publicly.
You should always be cautious of those people.
Because they're telling you that in their life they have been experts in deception.
That's their resume, expert in deception.
And you should know that you never really leave the agency.
Once you're in the CIA, you're always in the CIA. Even when you're, quote, retired, you're still working for the CIA. And, you know, in contrast to that, if you look at my resume, I've never been in the business of deception, nor would I even dare to do so or want to.
I couldn't spiritually do that, to be paid to deceive people.
But these people who are online in these very popular videos, this is exactly what they explain about their own histories, that they were experts in deception.
Why would you ever trust someone who was paid to deceive or to carry out coups in other nations?
That's literally what some of these people explain that they have done before.
You mean, you carried out a coup?
You overthrew a government of some foreign nation and now you want us to trust you and believe you?
I mean, how do we know you're not overthrowing us?
See?
So practice discernment.
Look for all of these signs.
Does it all add up?
The whole picture of who this person is and what they're saying and how are they funded and what is their background and what drives them?
I can tell you for me what drives me is I want to live in a free country, in a free world.
I want health freedom.
I want nutritional freedom so we can tell the truth about vitamin C, you know?
I want health freedom so we can all say no to mandatory vaccines.
And I have said this consistently for 20 years.
20 years.
And, you know, you can go back 20 years to all my videos and podcasts and everything.
Of course, a lot of it was deleted by YouTube.
And people know me.
People know me in the industry.
And they know that I've been consistent this entire time.
But then when we see, oh, a new guy shows up, a new guy that none of us have ever heard of before, and he claims to have all the answers because he's a super-secret government insider, that's where you have to be cautious.
Especially when some of these people seem to be really into material wealth.
That's always a red flag for me.
If I encounter someone and they're into material wealth...
They're talking about jewelry and expensive cars and clothing and fashion and how much money they have and all this.
That's always a red flag to me because that is not something that's synonymous with being a person of integrity.
I'm not saying that if you wear nice jewelry...
I'm not saying you're a bad person at all.
I'm just saying that people who worship those things and make that seemingly something that they brag about, oh, I've got this nice thing, this very expensive thing, this wealth symbol or whatever, to me, that's always a red flag.
Those are typically not people with integrity.
Doesn't mean that you can't come by wealth through high integrity methods.
You know, if you build a company, you build something and then somebody buys it from you and you end up with a lot of money, that's great.
But even then, the good people who have money don't worship money for money's sake.
They use the money.
To accomplish good in the world, which is what any ethical person would do.
So these are some things to watch out for.
Just wanted to pass that along.
And I thank you for listening, and I thank you for your discernment.
And I assure you that I will always bring you what I believe to be, in my best assessment, the most accurate information, even if it's bad news.
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but if I have to...
I will lay it out as best I can.
So thank you for your understanding.
Thank you for your prayers.
I'm Mike Adams here.
Be safe and take care.
