Situation Update, July 5th, 2021 - "Cyber Pearl Harbor" to be unleashed against America

Welcome to the Situation Update and happy Independence Day yesterday.
I hope you had a great Independence Day in the United States.
And for those of you around the world looking to America to defend your freedom, trust me, we're working on it.
We're working hard.
This is Mike Adams here.
It's Monday, July 5th, 2021.
We've got some news today about an official in Japan warning about a new potential Pearl Harbor against America to be carried out by China.
We've got China building new ICBM silos.
We've got new ransomware supply chain attacks that happened over the weekend.
And some important information on hyperinflation and the economy and also global COVID tyranny kicking in in European countries.
I'll get to all of that.
This is quite a packed episode, but I'm going to try to keep it relatively short anyway.
First, just a personal note.
I mentioned I bought a giant grill a couple weeks ago, and I did, in fact, fire this sucker up for July 4th, and I grilled up all kinds of amazing things, meats, you know?
I did.
And it turns out that what I had purchased is called an offset smoker, and I had no idea, because I'm not into grilling and smoking meats or anything, but But I had purchased an offset smoker, so I had to quickly learn how to use it.
And I decided, because for me this is kind of an off-grid experiment, I decided I wasn't going to use any charcoal or any briquettes or anything, any electricity or anything like that.
It had to be 100% off-grid.
So I ended up using my electric chainsaw that I mentioned a few weeks ago.
I went out onto my ranch and I did some online research first and I identified the trees that I have growing That have already died.
I mean, trees are falling over all the time.
And so, I mean, what I'm saying is I didn't harvest live trees to do this.
I had trees that were down.
And I was able to identify wood on my ranch that turns out to be amazing for grilling and smoking.
I mean, just wow!
Mother Nature delivers again!
Not only is rural Texas land filled with food and water, all kinds of wild foods, but also I found out it's got the perfect wood for smoking.
So I've got post oak wood, which is what I use, and it's got this amazing flavor to it.
I've got mesquite wood, and I've got pecan wood.
So I just combined those three and it was just amazing.
You'd pay a fortune for this.
It was just lying around, you know?
So I felt good about harvesting that and I grilled up some stuff and I shared it with some family and friends and we had a great time.
So, all off-grid.
I managed to not burn everything to a crisp.
It was fairly successful, but probably a joke to those of you who are good at grilling.
This is more like a backyard, you know, redneck attempt at grilling.
But I did it all off-grid, folks.
I did it all off-grid.
So, that tells me that in a collapse, that I can fire up the grill using the wood that we have, And I can barter with cattle ranchers who are all over this area, and I could grill up some steaks or burgers or whatever.
We're not going to starve to death is what I'm saying.
And that was the point of that whole exercise.
So I always try to incorporate off-grid exercises into everything that I'm doing.
Whether it's with emergency sources of heat or solar generators to have emergency backup power or, in this case, grilling up food.
And I also have a solar oven that arrived last week.
I'm going to be using that as soon as the sun comes back out.
It was kind of a rainy weekend, but I'm going to get the solar oven cranking and I'm going to experiment with some food drying using the solar oven.
I'll pass that information along to you.
I am absolutely convinced that we've all got to be ready to function off-grid because I really have a very, I have a bad feeling about what's coming.
In fact, every day that I wake up and I'm checking the headlines and there hasn't been a false flag attack, I thank God.
I thank God.
I'm like, oh my gosh, thank God we made it through another weekend or we made it through another day.
There hasn't been another 9-11 or whatever the case may be.
And, you know, speaking of 9-11, just a side note, when the 9-11 attacks happened in 2001, and I remember at that time thinking, uh-oh, uh-oh, here come the attacks on civil liberties because they had the expanded Patriot Act ready to roll out.
What an amazing coincidence.
And I don't know if you recall at the time, but the media and George Bush and especially all the conservatives were saying, we have to expand the surveillance state because we have to monitor terrorists.
Remember that?
Remember that?
Everybody's like, we have to monitor terrorists and we can give up the privacy, they said, and we can allow the government to spy on phone calls and emails because they're only going to spy on terrorists, right?
Remember that?
That was 20 years ago.
Today, guess who's the terrorist?
Oh, you are?
Yeah, you're the terrorist.
Now, the terrorist is anybody who thinks the election was stolen.
The terrorist is anybody who doesn't go along with the vaccine mandates, you see?
So all those powers, or the terrorist is anybody who owns a gun, Especially a semi-automatic rifle and anybody who supports the Second Amendment.
And pretty soon, you know, the terrorists might be just anybody who speaks out with a form of dissent against the government.
Canada's passing a law where they can fine you something like $40,000 for, quote, hate speech just for saying, Justin Trudeau is the son of Fidel Castro, for example.
That'll be deemed hate speech and you'll be fined, even though that's probably true.
So all those powers that were created in 2001 have now been turned against the American people.
And this is the most important lesson of why you never give power to the government to get bigger, to pry into your life, to have warrantless surveillance, to build a massive intelligence community that they claim will only be used against bad people because sooner or later you will become the bad people.
And that's exactly where we are today.
Just a very important lesson there.
Now the government's surveillance has been turned against the people.
So we're going to get into the global COVID tyranny here.
But first, about our sponsor today, this is the Treasure Island Precious Coins Company, metalswithmike.com.
There's something new about them that you may not have known, or actually this isn't new to them, but it might be new to you.

You can shift it into physical gold and silver.
It's insured by Lloyd's of London.
It's held at a heavily guarded high security facility in Fargo, South Dakota.
It only takes two to four weeks to get this done, but you can cash out of the stock market with your retirement money and get it into physical silver and gold.
And if the whole system craters and collapses, you can show up there with your ID and you can physically take possession.
I mean, the IRS won't like that if they still exist.
I'm talking about the collapse of the government.
You can show up there and get your gold and silver.
So it's not quite as good as having it physically in your hands, but you can do this with your retirement account money under IRA rules that are approved by the IRS.
And the people at Treasure Island are very experienced at doing this.

So that's our sponsor today and it's a very valuable service that they offer.
Check it out.
Now moving into global COVID tyranny.
So we have two very disturbing pieces of news today.
Spain has proposed a new national security law that would allow the seizure of citizens' property during any health crisis.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
This was covered by multiple media outlets, including Zero Hedge.
And the newspaper in Spain called El País reported this really alarming scenario that Spain's government is saying they need a new security law that would compel citizens to temporarily give up all of their rights, including ownership of your house, in instances of public health crises or emergencies such as the coronavirus pandemic.
So all they have to do is roll out another variant, like the Delta variant, and then they can say, well, under the new law, we can seize your house, we can seize your bank account, we can seize...
Maybe even your gold and silver, if you have some.
And again, we're talking about Spain here, but this isn't where this ends.
But in El País, the paper said that any person of legal age shall be obliged to carry out the personal obligations required by competent authorities following the guidelines of the National Security Council when a state of crisis is declared in Spain or All citizens without exception must comply with the orders and instructions issued by the authorities.
So Spain is trying to create a situation where no one can resist any order from the government And all the government has to do is simply cite an emergency or, you know, create one and then scream about it, you know, release a bioweapon and say, oh my God, look, there's a bioweapon.
And then they can just arrest everybody, steal everybody's homes and businesses.
It's just total lockdown.
That's Spain.
But it doesn't end in Spain.
France is now considering making COVID vaccines mandatory.
For everyone aged 24 to 59.
And Summit.News covered this over the weekend and also RT covered it in some other places.
The French government, let's see, Prime Minister Jean Castu, if I'm kidding, announced that he would push for the compulsory vaccination of caregivers.
The French Senate expressed their desire to expand the measure to cover young and middle-aged adults.
So they're advocating for mandatory vaccines of young to middle-aged adults on the grounds that it could significantly lower hospitalization rates and deaths.
So, in other words, the French government says, you don't own your body, you are a slave, you're a property of the state, and we can force you to take a vaccine even though your risk of dying from COVID is virtually zero.
But then, even more from the story, the government is also considering sending doctors lists of people who haven't taken the vaccine.
So you show up at your doctor's office and the doctor says, oh, here, we got a red flag alert from the government, says you haven't taken the vaccine.
Guess what?
You have to take the vaccine now.
And they would also, of course, prohibit people from traveling if you haven't taken the vaccine.
Notice once again in these countries, they give no value to natural immunity.
Even if you have antibodies and you take an antibody test, they say that doesn't count.
You have to take the vaccine.
Which tells you this is not about immunity.
This is about injecting you with a bioweapon.
So remember how I said weeks ago that Biden was given orders by the globalists that you have to push the United States to a 70% vaccination rate among adults by July 4th?
And of course, that did not happen.
But similar orders have gone out to the leaders of Spain and France and the UK and Australia and so on.
Just every country around the world, they've all been given their orders.
And most countries have not met the requirements, which means that the globalists are now going to up the ante.
They're going to ratchet things up in a major way to increase their war or accelerate their war on humanity.
That's the big thing.
I'm going to talk about that today.
World War III is about ready to be unleashed because, remember, the point of the vaccines was to exterminate a large percentage of the human population.
Since that has failed because people are saying no to the vaccines, then the globalists are about to escalate this to a whole new level of assaults on humanity.
Forced famine, you know, engineered food shortages, for example, weather weapons, geoengineering, EMP attacks, grid down attacks, cyber attacks, perhaps nuclear attacks.
We're going to talk about that here in a second, but also economic attacks.
And that's moving us into the next phase of today's podcast, the economic section, which begins with, well, I'll share with you.
My belief is that Biden is actually trying to collapse the dollar, trying to create a hyperinflation emergency so that it can be blamed on COVID or blamed on Trump or blamed on maybe cyber warfare or something.
And then they can push everybody into government controlled cryptocurrency, not Bitcoin, mind you.
Although Bitcoin will have served its purpose for this, which was to warm people up to the idea of a government crypto wallet.
That's where this is going.
Once they have you in the government wallet, then they have total control over you.
Automatic instant taxation.
They can monitor everything you buy and sell and they can limit whatever.
they can limit how much ammo you could purchase or they could limit, you know, anything.
They They have total control in real time over all your transactions, all your money, and they're surveilling you constantly.
So a government digital wallet is the end of human freedom.
It's basically total fascism by the government.
Well, I listened to an interesting interview over the weekend of a person who survived hyperinflation in Romania.
And this individual, a man, seems like a middle-aged man.
He's now in the United States.
He lives in the U.S. And he gave some interesting descriptions of what it was like to live through hyperinflation in Romania.
And since I believe this is what's coming in the United States, I want to share kind of the highlights with you of what he said in his interview.
But in terms of context here, one of the most important things to mention up front, and yes, this is some criticism of this person, but I don't know his name.
I'm not going to mention his name.
He continues to believe even after suffering hyperinflation.
His attitude is kind of like, well, it just happened.
And, well, we can survive it.
We made it through.
It just happens every generation or so.
Because this is what people in old communist Europe have been led to believe.
In fact, in his interview, he says that centralization of the economy increases efficiency and improves the standard of living in people.
And he says that when people are more free, when there's freedom in the economy and people are functioning based on freedom of choice and free will and private businesses, he says that that causes a lower standard of living.
And less efficiency.
So this guy's still brainwashed by the communists, as if he'd never saw East Germany versus West Germany before the Berlin Wall came down.
I mean, communism destroys the standard of living, but this guy still thinks that it improves it.
So I just want to let you know, even people who live through hyperinflation often don't blame the government for it.
He even says this in his own interview that I watched.
He said, well, the government was claiming that it was helping people through the hyperinflation by giving people credits for child care and credits for food, you know, like food stamps, basically.
And he even said that he thought the government was trying to help the people, too.
And then in the next sentence, he would say, yeah, but but they're also still printing all the money.
So, again, it's incredible that people who grew up under communism, many of them, not all of them, but many of them still think communism works.
They just think that they didn't have the right communists running it.
You know?
It's just incredible.
But anyway, the upshot of what this guy said...
Is that what used to cost one dollar in Romania, well I shouldn't say dollar, the local currency was called the lei.
What used to cost one lei, like a loaf of bread, by the end of this hyperinflation, that same loaf of bread cost 10,000 lei.
So you lost, what, 99.99% of the value of the lei.
Got it?
So, again, you lost 9,999 out of 10,000.
Or the other way to say that is a loaf of bread now costs 10,000 lei.
Okay?
So that's what happened.
And he said he knew people in his family who had saved up enough money to buy like three houses, three middle-class houses.
That's how much money they had in the bank before the hyperinflation.
After the hyperinflation, all that money could buy, I think he said, a television.
So that's how the money gets taken from you in this hyperinflation.
Here's what else he said.
He said that, importantly, when hyperinflation happened, it was used to usher in communism because people suffered so much under the hyperinflation that they welcomed government control over their lives and government handouts as a, quote, breath of fresh air.
So they welcomed communism as their savior.
Now, Romania has a long history.
A lot of these Eastern European nations have a long history of communism, and that's kind of part of their culture.
So maybe that flies in Romania.
I don't think that's going to fly in America, at least not in the red states.
It might fly in New York City or Los Angeles, but not real America.
People don't want communism here in America.
But anyway, they sure do love it in certain parts of Eastern Europe.
City life, he said, became rural life.
Now, what he means by that is even people living in the cities quickly had to learn how to live without the advantages of the cities.
No electricity, no running water.
They were living like country people but in apartments and in concrete buildings and so on.
So they would butcher hogs on the sidewalk in front of their apartment complex.
So they were living like country people but still in the city.
They did not have land to grow food.
They didn't have rivers and streams and lakes to harvest water and so on.
So it was rural life but in the worst possible way With no electricity and no, you know, basically, well, actually he said that the power companies were on more than you might expect, but clearly there were rolling blackouts and things like that, and the economy was just completely trashed.
He said that imports from other countries dropped to zero, so you could not get anything that came from another country.
Because, of course, the local currency became worthless compared to foreign currencies.
So there was no point in anybody importing anything.
In fact, he also said that local producers, at some point, there was a tipping point where it was not even worth for them to sell their products to anybody because they could actually do better by holding on to their products and waiting for them to go up in value.
So if you had a warehouse full of bags of grain, let's say, why bother selling it today and trade your grain for fiat currency if tomorrow that fiat currency is going to be worthless, but the grain is going to be more and more valuable with each passing day.
So there became incentives for people to not sell the stuff that they had.
I mean businesses and factories as well.
And at the same time, imports dropped to zero.
So if you think about that in America today, if something happens like that here, you would have no ability to get parts from overseas.
So basically no repairs to any appliances, automobiles, computers, telecom equipment, nothing.
The entire U.S. basically shuts down as things fall apart.
There are no parts coming in from anywhere else.
Very few things are made in America these days.
So, well, you're not going to be able to get much, and then even the factories in America are probably going to hold on to things.
He also said that people were paid with a pig or a cow or a cow share.
Like, you get paid, you know, you do a job for somebody or you trade something, you get paid like one-tenth of a cow.
And then you've got to get together with nine other people, and then you've got to go get that cow, and you've got to kill it, and then you chop it up into ten equal shares.
No, seriously.
You know, on the sidewalk in front of your city apartment with blood literally running down the gutters.
That's how people got paid.
That's how people lived.
You might get paid in bags of grain.
You might get paid in some other copper wire or something, but you didn't get paid in money.
The economy, he said, stopped using money.
And what he means by that is fiat currency.
So I'm sure the economy would still work if you had silver or gold, because that's real money.
But fiat, fake currency, does not function when it's collapsing and has lost 99.99% of its value.
And so nobody wants it.
What people do want is half a pig.
Because they can eat that.
And they cannot starve to death.
And if they have a giant offset smoking grill like I used over July 4th, you can smoke up all kinds of brisket and ribs and whatever.
You can still survive.
Of course, I live in the country.
I have access to wood pretty easily, whereas people in the city might have had to scramble to find something to burn.
But I'm sure, if you have to, you can just start chopping up a desk or something.
If you've got to cook some pig meat to not die, you'll find something to burn.
Trust me.
I'm sure there's some old phone books laying around or maybe university academic brainwashing books that could probably light up.
Burning books to eat, you know what I mean?
Yeah, when you get desperate enough, you'll do that.
He also says that what he sees in Los Angeles right now is way worse than anything he saw in the worst days of hyperinflation in Romania.
So he's cruising around L.A. and he's seeing the collapse that's in L.A. and I showed you some of those videos last week and it is bad.
And he said that the culture in Romania, despite it being communism, the culture was more family pride and personal pride.
People wanted to be productive.
People wanted to have a job.
They wanted to work.
They wanted to be part of society.
Today in America, especially in California, the vast majority of leftists, they don't want to work at all.
They take pride in not working, collecting money for free.
They think that working is beneath them.
So that's one advantage that Romania has over America, or at least it did, where the youth in Romania wanted to work.
Today, the youth in America have no motivation to work whatsoever.
So that's just going to contribute to the collapse of society.
Nobody wants to produce anything.
Everybody thinks they can just live as consumers living off of printed money.
And guess what?
That does not work long term.
It can work in the short term, not long term.
So LA is going to collapse.
It's already worse than hyperinflation in Romania.
That's fascinating.
Finally, he said that the middle class got completely wiped out by hyperinflation.
He mentioned that poor people were already living so close to poverty that it did not affect them as much because they didn't have as much to lose.
That makes sense.
Wealthy people had connections and offshore accounts and maybe they had gold and silver.
Maybe they had loopholes.
Who knows what?
Maybe they were being paid by the government.
Wealthy people were able to survive and the ultra poor were able to make it through, but the middle class got completely just devastated and they lost their savings and they lost their homes in many cases.
And they went from having a lot to having nothing.
That's kind of the conclusion of what he said in his interview.
But my comment on that is that people who live on the streets right now, homeless people in America, if you think about it, they won't notice much about a collapse because they're already living very close to the streets.
I mean, they're living on the streets.
They're living in tents in many cases or cardboard boxes in some cases.
They know how to survive with nothing.
All their possessions are in one shopping cart, for example, with wobbly wheels.
Whereas the middle class in America, especially the upper middle class, people who think that they're better than others, snobs, You know, the upward, mobile, typically white, semi-wealthy, snobbity snobs who run around society thinking they're so amazing, they're going to end up with nothing because they didn't prep.
In fact, they think prepping is stupid.
And they look down upon people like you and I who are preppers.
They would probably have a fit.
If I were at a social gathering with them and I told them what I just did this weekend, I ran around my ranch and I'd use a chainsaw and I'd chop trees, I mean branches off trees, and I made wood for a smoker and I fired up the smoker and I grilled meat and I ate that meat.
They would say, oh my God, you're such a redneck.
You must live in the backwoods.
You must live with the hillbillies.
They couldn't conceive.
Of cooking your own food, using your own resources from your own ranch, or, you know, taking buckets of water out of a local stream or a river or a lake and running it through a water filter and having your own water, or collecting water off a roof like I did back in February during the big freeze.
You know, there's a lot of these uppity, uppity, yuppie, what do you call these people?
You know, it's kind of snotty.
This is holier than thou.
You know, you know what I'm talking about?
They look down on preppers.
They're not going to do very well at all.
In fact, they're going to do worse than the homeless because they don't know what it's like to live off the land or to be resourceful.
They have everything handed to them.
Everything is convenient for them.
But that's only as long as society functions.
You take away the power grid.
You take away transactional capabilities in the financial system.
Those people...
Become among the first to perish.
They don't know how to use a firearm in self-defense.
They never collected any ammo or they think they have because they have one 50-round box of 9mm.
Yeah, I got plenty of ammo.
How much do you have?
I got a box.
A box of 50?
Yeah, I got a whole box of 50, they'll say.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
So that's what you think is a lot.
Okay.
Good luck with that.
Yeah.
Yeah, just remember the emergency frequency on the radio.
Yeah, because you're going to have a hard time once the zombies come out to this neighborhood.
Good luck with that.
So anyway, the point is, let me just say this as brutally as I can.
There is no shame in learning to live a little bit like a homeless person or a little bit like a hillbilly or living off the land.
There's no shame in it, folks.
Those are hardcore survival skills.
In fact, you should take pride in doing more with less.
The more you can do with less stuff, the stronger you're going to be in surviving what's coming.
There's no shame in it.
If you can gather nuts of some kind off your property, maybe you have pecans like we have in Central Texas or whatever, Or if you can dig up wild onions like we have, or harvest wild herbs, or as we were talking about last week, dig up a bunch of dandelions and pan fry those dandelion flowers with some batter mix.
Guess what?
There's no shame in it.
That's not redneck.
That's actually full-blown survival right there.
That's surviving close to Mother Nature.
And that's what you're going to need to do to be able to get through what's coming.
The people that are going to perish are those who lived...
Distanced or isolated from reality.
Who could never imagine themselves sleeping in a tent.
Who've never even been camping.
Never had to scrub a cast iron pan after burning an omelet in it or something over a fire because the fire was too hot.
You know what I mean?
People who've never done any of that stuff, they will have no clue how to survive because everything's just been handed to them on a silver platter.
And as I've said before, the tougher your life is right now, the easier your survival will be.
And when I say tougher, what I mean is the tougher you make life on yourself intentionally by saying, hey, how do we go without electricity today?
How do we go without buying bottled water?
How do we go without buying charcoal like I did over this weekend?
I know it sounds minor.
Or how do we go without batteries?
How do we go without electricity?
Whatever the case may be.
How do we survive based off the resources that are available without running the Home Depot or Walmart?
The better you can do that, the more you're going to survive.
All right, getting into World War III, the risk of World War.
China is building over 100 new ICBM silos, according to new satellite data.
This was covered over the weekend, also by Zero Hedge and the Washington Post.
Commercial satellite imagery that's obtained by the James Martin Center for Non-Proliferation Studies Suggests that China's building 100 new silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles in a desert close to the northwestern city of Umen, which, if true, could signal a major expansion of Beijing's nuclear capabilities, reported the Washington Post.
It said that the images reveal the work is underway at, quote, scores of sites across a grid covering hundreds of square miles of arid terrain in the country's Gansu province.
At least 119 nearly identical construction sites contain features seen at existing launch facilities for China's nuclear arsenal.
So bottom line here, folks, China is massively expanding its nuclear weapons capability in the run up to World War Three.
Now, remember that a few weeks ago, a top Chinese general, I think it was, said that they have to build massive new nuclear weapons in order to dominate and defeat the United States.
So they're not even pretending what this is about.
This is about nuking America, or at least threatening to nuke the United States of America.
China has become very proficient at construction, large-scale construction projects like the Three Gorges Dam, for example, which may or may not survive the next few years.
We'll see.
But they can certainly produce a lot of things, and they're making nuclear missiles apparently by the hundreds.
This is not a good thing.
At the same time, over the weekend, a ransomware attack paralyzed the networks of at least 200 U.S. companies, which was covered by Associated Press, citing a cybersecurity research firm.
And that firm, let's see, a spokesperson there is someone named Hammond, John Hammond, from Huntress Labs.
And John Hammond said, quote, Uh-huh.
Supply chain attack.
So are you starting to see China in this?
Now, they blame Russia, of course.
They blame Russia.
They blame this cyber gang called Revil, which the media says is a Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate.
But they blame Revil for everything.
I think it's more likely to be China, frankly, because this is part of the cyber vulnerability scanning.
You know, probing attacks.
But anyway, this attacked a software supplier called Kaseya that has a network management package that's been used by hundreds of US corporations.
So this one overlaying piece of software, Kaseya, had this vulnerability.
hackers were able to get into the corporation's networks through that Kaseya overlay.
And then let's see the quote from Hammond is, Kaseya handles large enterprise all the way to small businesses globally.
So ultimately this has the potential to spread to any size or scale business.
I think it's fascinating that this targeted the supply chain corporations that supply, You know, fuel, food, raw materials, products, all these things.
So our supply chains are under attack more than ever before.
And this is all about causing disruptions, as you might expect, because this is one of the vectors of World War III that we've discussed many times before, right?
You know, biological weapons, financial attacks, possible EMP attacks, weather And then, you know, supply chain disruptions, cyber attacks on manufacturers and oil pipelines and beef producers, you know, meat packing plants, JBS and all that.
I remember at the same time, China's got drones monitoring and natural gas pipeline infrastructure locations and also U.S. military bases and so on.
So this is just all part of that.
That's just beginning to ramp up.
I don't think this is just ransomware.
I think these are acts of war against the United States.
Now, with that understood, check this out.
Japanese State Defense Minister Yasuhide Nakayama This comes from AmericanMilitaryNews.com.
Well, let me give you the headline.
He's warning the U.S. that a Pearl Harbor-style attack could come from China and Russia very soon.
Okay, so this is Japan's number two defense official.
And he says China and Russia are teaming up and they're showing signs that they plan to launch a Pearl Harbor style attack on the United States.
He was speaking at the Hudson Institute event.
And again, his name is Yasuhide Nakayama.
Seventy years ago, he said, we attacked Pearl Harbor.
He's referring to Japan.
But now the U.S. and Japan are very good allies, one of the best allies all over the world.
And then he says the Russian naval forces, quote, are really exercising just right in front of the western part of Honolulu.
And so I don't want to remind the 70 years ago, but we have to be careful of the exercising of the Russians.
And then he drew a comparison between a potential nuclear attack by Russia or China and the U.S. nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. So he's going right to the nuclear threat because he sees how China is posturing and building more ICBMs like we just covered, and Russia doing naval exercises right off the coast of the Hawaiian Islands, just 35 miles away or whatever.
He says, quote, That missile, the warheads, compared to Hiroshima, it's 200 times more than Hiroshima.
Or, as I say, Hiroshima, Nakayama said.
So I've been to Hiroshima before, and I went to the museum before, from that experience and the perspective, if 200 times more strong atomic bombs or torpedoes or missiles or warheads toward Honolulu, and I'm quoting him, His English is maybe not 100% perfect, but he's doing great.
He continues, I think Honolulu will be erased from the map.
That's from him.
That's him saying that.
So we have to think before using those powers, we have to think how to stop it.
And then he spoke about the growing threat of invasion that China poses against Taiwan.
And then how Japan and the U.S. must cooperate to keep Chinese actions in check.
So think about what's happened.
It's actually, I don't know why he said 70 years, it's actually been 80 years really since this whole scenario happened.
World War II started taking place in the Pacific Theater.
That started about 80 years ago in the rise of Hitler.
So Here we are 80 years later.
The US is still the dominant economic and military power in the United States presently, but China is gaining very rapidly To overcome the United States in terms of its GDP, but also its military equipment.
It's building the ICBM missiles, it's building aircraft carriers, it's building a massive naval fleet.
In terms of the number of ships China has, it's already surpassed the United States fleet.
But then again, U.S. vessels are far more capable.
So it's not just the numbers that count.
It's the combat readiness and effectiveness that really counts.
And the U.S. is still way ahead on that.
The U.S. spends more money on its military by far than any country in the world.
But China supplies the microchips in many cases and supplies the circuit boards.
And China is an expert in cyber warfare and also social engineering.
China has taken over.
Think about it.
The left-wing media, they've taken over the universities.
They own most of our senators, House of Representatives members as well.
They own most of the governors.
They've taken over America culturally.
They've infiltrated everything, including the FBI, the CDC, on and on.
It's incredible.
So China's been waging unrestricted warfare against the United States for many years, and I truly believe that the next wave that's coming is going to be an economic assault.
That is combined with cyber warfare.
They kind of go hand in hand because the banks can't function if transactions go down, which would happen once the power grid is taken offline.
So cyber attacks on the power grid are essentially, you could say, almost synonymous with or parallel to financial warfare to take down banks and transaction systems.
And I believe that's coming.
In fact, I'm convinced that that's coming.
Now, remember what I said a couple of weeks ago, which is that China wants the Biden administration to confiscate firearms from the American people first, so that Americans can't fight back against the land invasion using good old American guerrilla tactics and so on.
They want everybody to turn in their AR-15s.
Well, I don't think that's ever going to I mean, I don't think people will comply with that.
Even if Biden somehow passed a law that said all semi-automatic rifles are now illegal, my guess is people wouldn't turn them in as much as just bury them.
They would hide them.
Or whatever.
They would find ways to hold onto them, but maybe not have them readily available in their house, you know?
And that would be a declaration of U.S. government war against the American people.
But perhaps that's what China wants.
So maybe the Biden administration is willing to do that.
But in order to do that, they have to have a false flag event first.
And hence...
My grave concern over the deep state planning and carrying out a major false flag attack to blame gun owners.
And I'm even wondering if a false flag attack was prevented over the July 4th weekend because there was that group in Massachusetts, some oddball group that 11 guys were, I think, arrested.
They were stopped at 2 in the morning by a state trooper.
11 guys, and they were all fully armed up and wearing chest rigs and ballistic vests, I think, and they had rifles and pistols, and they were cruising along in SUVs on the highway, and state troopers pulled them over.
State trooper may have just stopped some kind of major false flag thing.
And, you know, I'm not going to make this about race, but in this case...
From what I saw in the videos, most of those guys happened to be African Americans for whatever reason.
I mean, it could have been white guys.
It could have been anybody.
It could have been a Latino group, but in this case happened to be black guys.
So I don't know what that means.
I don't know what they were planning.
It's just very mysterious.
Why are 11 fully armed guys cruising along a highway in Massachusetts at 2 in the morning, fully geared up?
See, that doesn't make any sense to me.
Even if you're going someplace to do some training, you know, which I've done plenty of times, you know, training with special ops, training with law enforcement, training, you know, whatever.
You don't drive there wearing all your gear.
You have it in your bags in the back of the vehicle, right?
You know, your guns are in a case.
You know, your gear is in the bag.
You got ammo in ammo cans and everything, you know.
And you get there, then you put it all on.
You don't drive around with all that gear.
That's weird, man.
Something's up.
Something's up.
The only reason you would drive around with that stuff on is that you plan to use it immediately for some reason.
I mean, that's the only thing that makes sense to me.
I don't know all the details about that story, so...
Some of this is speculation, but I just wonder if Massachusetts state troopers may have stopped something horrific from happening.
That's a possibility.
The bottom line here, folks, is they're going to bring an economic attack on this country.
I'm sure of it.
They're going to bring...
A transactional attack, a power grid attack.
They're going to try to take the guns.
They're going to release another bioweapon.
All these things are going to happen together.
And in order for us to survive this, we've got to be out of the fiat currency system with some backup plans.
You've got to have something that you can barter with, which could be silver coins.
It could be.22 long rifle ammo.
That's a barter item.
It could be a firearm.
It could be food.
It could be a pack of smokes.
It could be a can of instant coffee.
You know how much that's going to be worth coming up?
Or just cigarettes.
You know, like I said, people will trade almost anything for cigarettes.
I mean, people who are addicted to them.
So you've got to have something that you can barter with once you understand that the transaction system goes down.
You can't get money out of the ATM. You can't use your credit cards.
Food stamps don't work.
Banks are closed.
Oh, they're on a holiday.
Happy holidays.
Yeah, it's a bank holiday.
That's not a happy holiday.
So all this is coming, at least from my research, from my point of view, all of this is coming, and we've got to be ready to survive and to function off-grid.
So you're going to need comms.
You're going to need radios.
You need to be able to hear things and do your own kind of listening of what's happening, gather intelligence just by listening to other radio broadcasts in the area.
You need to be able to feed yourself.
You need to be able to defend yourself.
You've got to be able to charge your radios, so you might need like a solar charger or a solar battery or a solar generator.
You're going to need off-grid cooking methods such as a solar oven or a grill like I was using or other ways to cook food, boil water, a little rocket stove with pine cones.
You can boil water with pine cones.
But you're going to need to have these off-grid systems functioning in order to make it through what's coming.
So the upshot of all of this is that because the nature of the attacks coming against the United States, really attacks that have already begun, because they focus on the infrastructure, the power grid that powers the financial institutions and many other things, such as social media, online platforms, you know, I mean, the news media, everything.
Because of this, once the power grid is attacked and taken offline, it also collapses the artificial world that has been made possible by fake social media.
And what I mean is tilted or stilted, altered viewpoint social media.
And also the biased mainstream media with viewpoint discrimination and censorship of important stories and so on.
So much of the world that has been created on nothing but hype or propaganda or false narratives, all of that collapses, including, by the way, most of the cryptocurrencies, of course, collapse in a grid-down scenario.
And then in the place of all of this artificiality collapsing emerges a harsh, brutal reality.
Things like, oh, I need shelter.
Or, gosh, I'm hungry, I need to eat.
You know, that's real.
The whole world of LGBT fake biology, men can be women, women can be men, that collapses and becomes, holy crap, I'm hungry, and I have to find a place to poop.
You know, I mean, seriously, these kinds of basic questions, like, it's cold outside and I need to stay warm.
You see, suddenly biology becomes very, very real.
And the same thing in the realm of money.
You know, all the BS money that people think they have online because you logged in to Robin Hood and Robin Hood reported that you were a gazillion there because you have a gazillion doggy coins or whatever it is.
That just vanishes, boom, to be replaced by reality where you look around and it's like, what do I have here that I can barter with?
Whatever happened to those silver coins we used to have?
Oh, you sold them to buy doggy coin?
And doggy coin was a joke?
Okay.
So you see what I mean?
The artificiality collapses and the harsh reality emerges all of a sudden where you need the basics in order to survive.
You need food.
You need shelter.
You need basic healthcare and sanitation.
You need to be able to exercise self-defense.
So you need a firearm.
You need ammo.
You need some level of fitness and mobility and You need these basic things upon which human biology depends just for day-to-day survival, you know, the hierarchy of needs.
If you don't have shelter and food and water and oxygen, you die.
And I don't think at any point in this anybody's going to be able to say, well, I may be starving, but I choose to self-identify as someone who's fully fed.
You know, good luck with that.
Let's see how long the liberals get by with that.
Yeah, you can self-identify as someone who's not starving eventually.
Eventually you run out of the strength for your heart to beat, you know?
And then you expire.
You can't abandon biological reality.
So as we look at this collapse, it's important to understand that most of the world of Let's say narratives in which people exist is a false world.
It's fake news media.
It's fake social media.
It's fake indoctrination through universities and educational systems.
Almost everything that most people believe is a lie.
They think the Delta variant is going to kill them.
They think cryptocurrency is going to be the new currency that saves the world from the central banks.
I wish that were the case, but it's not going to happen that way.
They think that Science will solve the dilemma of aging and that there will be a longevity discovered in the next few years and people can live forever or they think that there's going to be transhumanism and they can merge with the machines and they can become gods.
And all of these crazy things that a lot of these people believe, that's all going to collapse very rapidly into some very basic things like how do I feed myself?
How do I not die of exposure?
How do I defend myself against the zombies?
So reality is going to come rushing back with a vengeance.
It should be maybe a movie.
Reality with a vengeance.
That's what's coming.
And so people who believe in false things...
We'll suffer the consequences of their beliefs.
So people who believed in fake money, i.e.
the dollar, and they think that money in the bank is real, they will soon discover it's not real, just like what happened in Romania.
Loaf for bed was $1, now it's $10,000 because your currency is worthless.
So that's an earth-shattering moment for anybody intelligent enough to realize what just happened.
Although, as we've seen, even many people who live through that still don't know what happened.
That's incredible.
The government stole your money, folks, through hyperinflation, printing more money.
They stole your purchasing power.
Some people still don't get it, even when they live through it.
That's incredible.
But wise people don't have to live through it to understand it.
They can learn from other people's mistakes, and then they can choose not to make those mistakes.
Because believe me, if those people in Romania, if they had an ounce of silver...
An ounce of silver could buy maybe 10 loaves of bread or something at the start of this.
By the end of the hyperinflation, that same ounce of silver could still buy 10 or more loaves of bread.
Maybe a lot more.
Maybe 100 loaves of bread because the silver becomes more valuable.
So the delusion or the illusion of fiat currency will crumble.
The reality of physical metals in your hand will emerge as the victorious truth that can keep you alive and help set you free.
See, when it comes to the collapse, whatever form it may take, or the war on America, they're really just two categories of people.
Okay.
Category one, people who can learn from other people's mistakes throughout history.
And then not make those same mistakes.
And then category two is people who make the same mistakes that have been made throughout history over and over again.
Because people don't like to study history anymore.
They prefer not to study history.
They think that everything that they're doing is different from history.
You know, they think, oh, we're going to create a utopian noun.
And we're going to do it like Democrats think.
We're going to do it by commanding everybody to do what we say.
And this is going to create utopia.
Hey, that's been tried before.
Doesn't work.
Or they say, oh, we're going to create a new future by seizing all private property and all businesses and having central command and control over the entire economy.
It's called communism.
We're going to do it right this time because now we're communists with computers.
Guess what?
That's been tried, too.
Didn't work.
In fact, IBM provided computers for the Holocaust.
They were using computing power to commit genocide, and that's the way communists use it.
So it's all been tried before.
Oh, you know, the Biden administration said, well, guess what?
We're going to have a new magical monetary theory, MMT. That's the name I give it.
And we're going to just print our way to prosperity.
And leftists believe it.
They believe it.
Guess what?
That's been tried hundreds of times.
Hundreds of times throughout human history.
It's never worked.
Because it can't.
And it won't.
And it won't work this time either.
There's nothing new under the sun, folks.
They're making the same mistakes now that have been made before.
The wise people among us, like you and I... We're wise enough not to fall down the same traps that have destroyed other societies.
And yet we're surrounded by people who just can't wait to make those same mistakes again.
They're begging for the same mistakes.
They love making the same mistakes.
And so they will embrace us.
Money printing and free handouts and free this and free that.
And some of them will embrace communism and they'll embrace vaccines and they'll embrace China, you know, communist China running the schools.
They'll embrace all this to the point of suicide.
It will destroy them.
And even to their dying day, they won't understand what destroyed them because many of them are arrogant and Some of them are uneducated, but mostly they're just stupid.
They're just too stupid to learn from history.
And you know the saying, those who don't learn the lessons from history are doomed to repeat them.
It's exactly what we're watching right now.
Well, more than watching, we're We're living it.
We have front row seats.
We're on that train whether we like it or not because society is going in that direction.
The world's going in that direction.
Those of us who are trying to stop it, we don't have enough control over the systems to pull humanity back from the brink of mass suicide, do we?
Remember what I've always said, humanity is a suicide cult.
And even though we can choose not to commit suicide, we can't stop everybody around us because they're lining up to take the vaccine, lining up to hand their money into cryptocurrency or more fiat currency.
They're lining up to take more medications.
They're lining up to embrace communism.
They think this is going to save them.
It's going to destroy them.
What they think is their savior is their destroyer.
There's only one savior.
That's right.
Good old JC. And it's not computers.
It's not silicon.
It's not big pharma.
It's not science.
No.
No, it's Jesus Christ, Son of God.
So you put your faith in any other Savior, you're going to be sadly disappointed.
But stay on the path of preparedness folks because difficult times are coming.
I don't know how long we have remaining to still function.
I really don't.

Make sure, if you're going to try to store fuel, it's better to have diesel than gasoline.
You know, much safer.
So you might want diesel vehicles.
Make sure you know.
I mean, we've been through this before.
Firearms, self-defense training, have enough ammunition to defend you and your family and so on.
Have a bug-out plan, unless you've already bugged out.
All these things really matter.
Know how to cook food off-grid, how to filter water off-grid.
Know how to communicate.
With neighbors and have comms set up with frequencies that you've agreed upon in certain times, check-in times that you've agreed upon and so on.
All of this matters.
You're about to see why.
You're about to see, you're going to have a front row seat to the most epic events in the history of our world.
Events that will make World War II look like a walk in the park, I think.
And we're going to be lucky for America to emerge from this intact.
But I think we will.
I think we're going to go through some very difficult times, but I think we the people achieve victory in the end, and I think we rebuild a new nation, a new America, based on principles of liberty and freedom and Christianity, ethics, morals.
I think in the future there is no LGBT Netflix.
I think in the near future, we're going to get rid of communism.
We're going to get rid of the globalism.
We're going to get rid of depopulation.
But to get to there from where we are right now, we're probably going to see a billion fellow human beings mass murdered by the globalists before we can get to victory.
So just keep that in mind.
We're going to lose about one-seventh of the world population.
And maybe tens of millions of Americans will be murdered as well.
So not everybody that you know right now is going to be here Over the next three years or however long this last five years, I don't know.
Or five months for all we know.
So just be ready.
It's coming.
