Situation Update, 7/15/21 - South African CHAOS will come to America...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Alright friends, this is the Situation Update for Thursday, July 15th, 2021.
Mike Adams here at the Health Ranger.
Today we're going to talk about South Africa, what's happening there, and then what it means for the rest of us, wherever you are around the world, in the U.S. or Canada or Australia or wherever, Singapore, wherever you happen to be, we've got to learn some very important takeaways from what's happening in South Africa because I think it's going to spread.
And I think a lot of the analysis out there in the news right now is kind of missing some of the far more profound points.
So we're going to get into that.
I want to thank you for your comments on yesterday's podcast, the top 10 reasons to take a COVID vaccine.
And got a lot of positive feedback about that.
People thought that was pretty funny, but also kind of not funny, kind of horrifying that some of those reasons are real, you know?
Like young women taking the vaccine because they're too lazy to get an abortion at Planned Parenthood.
But they know the vaccine gives them an abortion, so they're using the vaccine as like a morning-after pill.
How crazy is that?
But it's real.
Still, that's happening.
But one of the things you've heard me say, one of the common themes of these podcasts is that society is very fragile and things can break down very rapidly.
You can tear down society in an instant, but to rebuild takes years or maybe even decades.
And some of the things that are happening right now in South Africa are beyond horrifying.
They're burning down the infrastructure, the infrastructure that would provide food to the masses.
So, I mean, think about this spiral that's happening.
The COVID lockdowns cause this joblessness and an economic collapse among the masses, leading to famine or food scarcity or an inability to purchase food.
And then they reach a boiling point, and they burst into widespread looting and rioting, and then they overreact.
They become wildly irrational, and they burn down the grocery stores and the electric power plants, which are on fire, and the ports.
They burn the infrastructure down.
That would provide food in the future, which means the problem has only just begun.
If you thought food shortages were bad before, wait until you try to feed a population when the infrastructure is all burned down, you see.
So, when the collapse comes to society, and this has way more to do than South Africa, when the collapse comes, it is what we call an asymmetrical implosion.
Things break down much faster, much more quickly than they can be built up.
So, it's an asymmetrical collapse, and it can happen in an instant.
And it means that there's no response time during which you can prepare after knowing what's happening.
You have to be prepared during non-crisis times.
Otherwise, you won't be prepared during the crisis because by the time it starts to happen, it's already too late.
You know, the looters are at your door.
The fires are in the street.
The power plants are burning down.
You wake up one day and your country is now in war zone, which is what's happening in parts of South Africa.
So I'd like you to watch this just one minute little documentary that someone posts, a docu-minute documentary.
South Africa, that's the username.
Check out this one minute video because I think it is very, just gives you kind of a visual background, some context for what we're about to talk about here.
So let's run that.
These are the kind of scenes that we're seeing.
I posted a video a day ago and I received over a million views.
There's a lot of fake news out there.
There's a lot of videos circulating that were shot years ago and they're playing it as if it was current situation.
What's going on behind me is the absolute truth.
This thing stemmed with the whole Zuma trial and spread across the country and since short has turned into just this mass looting destruction of property.
You know we're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and we now have to deal with this Look, I've seen a lot of people coming on board, a lot of people helping out with charity, communities banding together, standing to protect their homes and their families.
What you're seeing here is just a piece of what's going on.
Now, in addition to what you just saw there in that little 60-second documentary, I want to read you some headlines from what's going on from a website called news24.com.
Which is a South African-based news organization.
So all KZN, that's the region, KZN sugar mills are now shut after cane farms are set alight.
Or as we would say, set on fire.
Citrus exports halted as riots rage on.
So the looters are setting fire to the farms.
This is a bad sign.
This is when things have gone, you know, beyond the tipping point.
Why would someone set fire to the farms when they're starving?
Right?
But then again, collapse is not rational.
And that's one of the key points to remember in all of this.
Collapse is not rational.
And they will tear down the very infrastructure systems that allow society to be sustainable.
There's another headline that says the people in South Africa may face a bread shortage as the riots hit wheat supplies.
So warehouses full of wheat are going up in flames.
Farms are being set on fire.
And then another headline from the same website, largest crude oil refinery called SAS implements temporary shutdown due to unrest.
So the oil refineries are under pressure.
At least one major refinery has shut down.
We know that electric power plants are on fire.
So now you start to get into the energy sector of the infrastructure.
And you begin to realize that when there is a sufficient loss of infrastructure, there's almost no way to start building back because you don't have a power grid to do construction on the burned down grocery store, for example.
Or you don't have the farms to feed the people who might be the construction workers to rebuild the power grid.
You see what I mean?
So there's this interdependency of the different sectors that Of the infrastructure.
And if you're just listening to this podcast and not watching it, we're actually throwing in some videos from South Africa that reportedly show what's happening right now with the looting and the fires and so on.
Now, there's a video from a police officer.
We're not going to play it.
Well, it's a video of police on the radio.
So I guess it's a video of audio.
And they're kind of frantic in saying that they've run out of ammo.
So the police have run out of ammo.
And at one point in this audio recording, this law enforcement person says, we managed to get 1,000 rounds of 9mm 9-ball ammo.
So think about this.
The country is just, it's collapsing.
A cop has run out of ammo, or his group has run out of ammo.
They've managed to find 1,000 rounds, which for 9mm is not really that much, frankly.
It fits in 150 caliber ammo can, by the way.
You can put 1,000 rounds of 9mm in those cans.
Ask me how I know.
But they're getting nine ball ammo.
And nine ball means it's a full metal jacket, which means it's not ammo that's typically used by law enforcement, and it's not self-defense ammo.
In other words, it's not expanding tip ammo.
This ammo, nine ball or full metal jacket, is not very effective.
So the police are now resorting to using ammunition that's not really going to do much of a job at halting looters.
I mean, yeah, it can punch holes through people, holes that happen.
I mean, nine millimeters in diameter, it turns out.
But it's not going to cause the kind of tissue trauma that brings down an assailant.
Because it's not an expanding tip.
It's not going to just shatter bones and organs unless you happen to get a very lucky, well-placed shot right into a critical skeletal structure or organ structure in that person's body.
You'd be amazed how many times people can be shot with 9mm ammo or even 5.56 ammo.
In other words, military, you know, AR-15 basically rounds or M4s in the military.
You'd be amazed how many people can be shot with those rounds and the rounds just go right through them.
And yeah, there's some bleeding, there's tissue damage, there's a hole in them, but the hole is in, you know, the calf or the arm or part of the leg or part of the torso or what have you, a shoulder.
And it did not stop the person.
Okay, so that happens all the time, which is why I've mentioned for self-defense purposes, it's crucial to have the right kind of ammo, such as, for example, Controlled Chaos.
That's a brand name of a certain brand of ammo that has expanding tips, and you can get Controlled Chaos ammo.
Well, probably not now.
It's probably all sold out, but Normally you can get it in 5.56 or 7.62x39 AK rounds or 7.62x51, 308 type rounds or 300 AAC blackout rounds or what have you.
And that's the kind of ammo to have if you're in a self-defense situation.
But they don't have that anymore in South Africa.
At least the cops on these recordings don't.
Now, I've made a list of, what is it, 16 or 17 key analysis points from what's happening in South Africa.
We're going to go through the list with you because I think you're going to find a lot of really critical information in this about your own preparedness.
And again, the reason this matters is because I think a similar situation is coming to the United States for sure, maybe Canada, probably Australia, maybe New Zealand, I'm not sure.
But I know it's coming to America, and I know it's coming to a lot of Central and South America as well.
And how do I know this?
Well, because the COVID lockdowns have been global, and they're all designed to shut down the food supply and create famine, create destitution.
In other words, this is happening like clockwork.
And that gets me to point number one here, that these looters are, according to the media, they're angry about the arrest and jailing of Zuma, the former, I think it's the former president, Zuma, who didn't show up for a corruption court case, and then he was arrested and thrown in jail.
And the media wants you to believe this is all protest against the jailing of Zuma.
I think that's his name.
That is not what this is about.
That may have been the flashpoint.
That can be the trigger.
But underneath it, and it's obvious from the scale of this looting, underneath it all, there is massive widespread desperation.
People are starving.
People are angry.
People are being locked down.
People are imprisoned in their own homes.
And there's a mental health aspect to that.
That the COVID globalists, you know, the pandemic pushers, they knew this was going to happen.
They knew that if you take away social interaction, especially in children, and you make them wear masks, and you send them all home and tell parents, lock them in their rooms for two weeks, which I think the government of Canada said, I think that was Canada.
Sounds like Trudeau.
You're going to have a mental health epidemic.
And people are going to snap.
And this is exactly what we are seeing, not just in America, but also around the world.
And certainly that's part of what's happening in South Africa.
In America, people are snapping.
People are losing it.
I've seen it firsthand.
People that used to be rational and calm just lost their minds.
I don't know what happened.
These are crazy times.
But understand that the Zuma arrest is not the cause of all of this.
There's something much, much deeper, much more profound.
The second point is that the police are really useless.
I'm not saying that they're trying to be.
You know, I support the men and women in blue, and we have a lot of law enforcement that listen to this podcast.
But what I mean is, they're outgunned, and in many jurisdictions, this is probably true in South Africa, that the police are not allowed to have much ammo.
I know this is true with sheriff's deputies that I know.
They're not allowed to carry more than a certain number of rounds, and they're only allowed a small quota of ammunition per month for training.
And sometimes that's just 50 rounds a month, you know?
Like, my goodness, are you kidding me?
You know, I often joke, but it's not a joke that when I was training with my former military buddies, you know, 50 rounds was like, that was just the warm-up and making sure that the pistol's cycling, the mags are feeding, you know, just 50 rounds is just like, okay, getting loosened up now.
And then now we're going to have training.
You know, and you might go through 500 rounds in a training session.
Well, maybe not today because ammo prices are much higher, but a couple years ago, we did that all the time.
We would blow through 500 rounds in a couple of hours of intense tactical pistol training.
No question.
We'd go through lots of rounds.
Because, you know, we weren't training to shoot paper targets, okay?
We were training...
For defending yourself against multiple assailants, a multiple target acquisition on the move, on the run, seeking cover.
You know, I saw this video of this Hollywood gun training place, and there was a young woman there who was being timed to do a bunch of shooting.
The video came out a couple days ago.
And the beeper goes, you know, beep!
And she comes out, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!
And she's shooting steel plates, mostly.
And she's, like, marching forward and shooting things right out in the open.
And most people would look at that and say, oh, that's so impressive.
You know, look at this woman.
She can really shoot steel targets in rapid succession.
And I was thinking, and a lot of other people who are actually experienced were thinking, she's right out in the open.
And none of these targets are shooting back.
So in the real world, she wouldn't have got very far because she used no cover and no concealment whatsoever.
But my point is that a lot of what you're shown about firearms and about self-defense, and even right now in South Africa, of how to deal with mass looters, There's another video from South Africa, like seven or eight guys right in the middle of a street, just shooting away with no cover, no concealment.
I'm telling you, the only reason why that was okay for them is because nobody was shooting back.
Now, if a collapse happens in America, believe me, people are going to be shooting back.
It's going to be a two-way gun range.
And if you're not seeking cover, you're dead.
You got to use cover.
And then when you get into using cover...
Then a lot of other skills come into play, like ambidextrous shooting.
Can you shoot your rifle with your left hand as well as your right hand?
And also shooting underneath vehicles.
Can you lay on your side and shoot rounds underneath vehicles?
Because that's your available opportunity to take out bad guys.
Well, guess what?
At range, your sights work differently.
Because the bullet is dropping now at a 90-degree angle to your sights.
So if you haven't trained in that, if you don't know that the physics are different when you're sideways, then you can easily not do well in those circumstances.
And that's the difference between Hollywood gun action and real-world combat, which is what veterans, many of them, have gone through, or police officers.
And they know the real world is nothing like Hollywood.
You know, in the real world, they can shoot a perp like 10 times and the guy keeps coming.
And that's the real world.
If you don't have shot placement, you know, to break their pelvis or something, they're just going to keep coming.
All right, so the police are quickly outnumbered.
And what this means is that wherever you are in the world, you're not going to be able to rely on police to protect you.
They will probably help if they can, but they may be quickly outnumbered or out of ammo or, frankly, under a massive assault with an overwhelming force, and they may have left the area.
Who knows?
They may be ordered away in America, in a liberal city.
Remember 2020, every time the left-wing lunatics started attacking a police station, the local mayor would order the police to retreat and just surrender the entire police station, which they did.
So the police just got in their cars and drove away, and the rest of us in America were like, what?
What are you doing?
And the answer is, according to the left, defund the police, you know?
They want to defund the police, so chances are there won't be police coming.
You're kind of on your own.
Okay, point number three.
Everybody in South Africa that we can see from these videos, everybody ran out of ammo.
So not enough ammo.
If your neighbors look at you like, why are you buying ammo again?
Or a family member or something.
Answer, because you can never have too much when society collapses.
That's the answer.
That's the honest answer.
Just ask any law enforcement officer who's been through a shootout.
You never have enough ammo.
Point number four, civilian security forces are what's stopping the looters from overrunning other areas, communities and commercial areas, you know, shops and so on.
Civilian security forces.
So in the videos that I've seen out of South Africa, it's civilians in their trucks carrying what look like ARs and wearing what looks like masks, maybe to hide their identity.
But they are now the police.
And in America, that would be given a name.
That name would be militia, like a community, local-based security team.
So when it hits the fan in America, every community that wants to survive the mass looting, which sometimes I've referred to as the zombie apocalypse, right?
What I'm talking about is people fleeing the cities when the power grid goes down or when the financial system craters, which would take down the grocery stores, the transaction systems, the food stamps, truck deliveries, all that stuff.
It's like a domino effect, right?
So people start flooding out of the cities.
And before long, when the hunger kicks in, they become, you know, a crazed, looting mob.
Well, every community that wants to survive that is going to have to organize some local security force.
And that local security force...
By definition, is a local militia, even if it involves sheriff and sheriff's deputies or local police or what have you.
Those are really local militia groups.
And they are going to spontaneously arise when it all hits the fan in America.
And you can bet...
Here's the difference between South Africa and, let's say, Texas.
In Texas...
The local security forces will not run out of ammo because they all know people who have stored insane amounts.
Now, in other states, I don't know, or other cities, I mean, if it's an anti-gun place like Massachusetts, then yeah, they may run out of ammo very quickly because people aren't stockpiling lots of ammo in Massachusetts except out in a cabin in the woods somewhere.
But in states like red states, You know, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Indiana, Utah, you know, Wyoming, whatever.
Everybody's stockpiling ammo.
Why do you think you can't buy ammo for the last year and a half?
Because everybody's buying it like crazy, and they're stockpiling like mad, and that really hasn't slowed down.
There's a lot of ammo in America.
There's not going to be a shortage of ammo.
So it's going to look a little different than South Africa, that's for sure.
All right, next point, number five, is that I kind of mentioned this.
The looters themselves...
They are, in a sense, in a way, also victims of the COVID pandemic.
So the pandemic was initiated in order to crush humanity.
And part of that strategy was the economic lockdowns, which was designed to create chaos.
You know, they profit from chaos.
They want desperation.
They want starvation.
And they really want race riots, which is why I think the globalists love this South African situation, because they can try to pit blacks against whites.
But this was not about race.
Not at all.
This is about the globalists systematically destroying civilization with COVID lockdowns and mask mandates and social distancing and supply chain disruptions and then unleashing the after effects of that, which is that poor people starve and poor people eventually rise up and go crazy.
And then when they go crazy, they overdo it.
They overreact and start stealing not just food, but refrigerators and, I don't know, tennis shoes, whatever.
And they just start setting fire to everything.
That's where we are now.
So, point number six.
If you don't prepare with extra food now, You could very easily find yourself in a situation like South Africa in the near future.
These situations happen, boom, spontaneously, just seemingly overnight.
You might have it on your list, like, one day I'm going to buy an extra 200 pounds of food at the grocery store.
I just don't have time right now.
Well, one day is never going to come.
And the collapse may come before you have the opportunity to do that.
So...
Prep now.
Just when you go to the grocery store on any normal day, just buy extra stuff.
Just start increasing the depth of your food stockpile.
And try to get stuff, obviously, that stores for a long period of time so that you can, you know, rotate it, you know, first in, first out, eat the old stuff first.
That way you're eating your supplies at the same time you are increasing the longevity of your food supplies.
Because I truly believe this kind of situation is coming.
To many regions around the world.
Because planned chaos is the recipe of the day.
This is what globalists want.
This is how they can assert more authority and also achieve depopulation and war.
And with domestic war, then they can maybe deploy the military.
Or they can declare martial law, which is probably coming in America before very long.
And with martial law, what can they do?
Oh, door-to-door gun confiscations.
Exactly what they want.
So yeah, they want chaos.
They want martial law.
They want a medical dictatorship and a military dictatorship.
They want to go door to door and get two for one, where give us your guns and you got to take this shot at gunpoint.
But give us your guns first so you don't shoot us.
And then we'll force a needle in you.
It's almost like they'll come to your door and not tell you about the second part first.
They'll come to your door and say, oh, if you have any guns, you've got to hand them over.
Didn't you know guns are all outlawed now?
Except the guns that we have, the government.
But you civilians can't have any guns, so give us your guns.
And then if you give them the guns, then they'll say, oh, and by the way, you must now submit to a vaccine injection at gunpoint.
Oh, what a convenient thing.
You just gave us your guns.
We'll use your guns and point them at you.
And make you get a vaccine.
Wow, how convenient is that?
So if you hand over your guns, then of course they're going to kill you with a bioweapon.
But we've talked about that elsewhere.
Point number seven.
I've mentioned this.
Farms are being attacked.
They're being burned.
And so...
If you know anything about farming, you know that producing food takes time.
It takes, well, at minimum, a season.
But even to plant crops for the next season, you have to have the infrastructure of a farm, which includes buildings and fuel tanks and tractors and wagons and, you know, combines, whatever.
All the equipment to plant and harvest and process crops.
Well, all that's on fire.
So it's not just about, oh, we'll wait till the fires die down and then we'll replant.
What are you going to replant with when your tractors are all burned up?
See, that's the problem.
These looters are committing national suicide, but that's the way looters behave.
I mean, they're wildly irrational.
They're lashing out with anger and frustration, but irrationality comes with desperation and starvation.
So you should expect this.
This is not, let's say, just a black thing.
I've seen some comments online where people were saying, oh, maybe it's just a black thing.
No, no.
White folks can get just as crazy.
When they get desperate and they're hungry.
Just as crazy.
Or Asian folks or Hispanic folks.
This is a human phenomenon here.
You take any group of people.
They could be Nordic folks or Russians or whatever.
And you take these folks and you starve them to death and then you deny them the ability to have a job or to work or to socialize.
They're going to go nuts, and they're going to lash out.
Any group is going to lash out.
And believe me, they're going to use this with different cultural groups all across the world.
All right, point number eight, the gun stores have been completely ransacked.
So that was one of the first places that got totally looted, the gun stores, which means the looters have guns too.
Probably they don't have much ammo at this point, but they do have certain guns.
This is going to happen in America and other places as well.
Gun stores will be looted.
The good news in that is, and I've tried to share this thought many times, that people who just steal guns and haven't trained with them are not really very effective with them.
Despite the propaganda of the media in Hollywood, you can't just pick up an AR-15 if you've never owned one, never used one.
You can't just pick it up and be very combat effective with it.
It actually takes training.
It actually takes familiarity.
You know, the typical person probably doesn't even know how to load rounds or how to cycle the bolt carrier group or clear jams or...
Or, you know, what does the red dot mean?
You know, whatever.
How to shoot at close range versus medium versus long range.
All these things.
They don't know these things.
So the good news is that guns in the hands of looters, yes, they're still dangerous, as any police officer knows, but they're not as dangerous as someone who is highly proficient and trained and familiar.
You know, there's no comparison.
So the good news is that most people who train with guns tend to be good, we'll just say good guys.
I know they're also women.
But they tend to be good people.
They tend to be ethical people, moral people.
So the most highly proficient gun operators are going to be, they're going to tend to be people who are on the right side of things.
They're going to be on the side of the rule of law.
You know, they're going to be on the side of the Constitution, typically.
On the side of America or wherever you happen to be, they're going to be on the side of the rule of law.
The looters that get their guns probably won't hold onto them for very long because they'll be even attacked by their own people trying to get that gun, and they're going to end up shooting each other.
And even if they deploy a gun against you, especially at range, even just 100 yards, they're The average person doesn't know how to hit you with a pistol at 100 yards or even probably a rifle at 100 yards.
And that's good news for you because with a little bit of training, like 50 hours is all it takes really to be decently proficient.
50 hours can make you very good at using a rifle and maybe 100 hours to be good at a pistol.
And most bad guys don't have any kind of training like that.
All right, point number nine.
Rioters are burning down private residences for no reason.
So they're just angry.
They're just throwing Molotov cocktails at private homes.
And those homes are going up in flames.
And so it brings up a couple of questions.
Number one, have you thought about fire defense?
You have fire extinguishers?
And more importantly, are you willing to shoot arsonists?
See, there's a question for you.
Because I know firefighters, and I know firefighters who have worked in cities, like blue cities, under bad circumstances.
They've been shot at by left-wing lunatics in some of these cities.
But even for cops, if you see a looter with a Molotov cocktail about to throw that cocktail at a private residential home, To set it on fire and that home may be occupied by a family or a child or some innocent person.
Are you as a cop willing to shoot that person to stop them from throwing that Molotov cocktail?
Well...
Right now, today, most cops would probably say no because they don't want to, especially if the cop is white, you know, they don't want to be on YouTube shooting anybody, so they're not even really doing their job very much because of all the cultural programming.
But in a collapse scenario, I'll just offer this.
If you're not willing to shoot arsonists, then they're probably going to burn your house down.
So the rules change in a collapse.
And I'll just tell you, if someone were to come to one of my locations or business properties or private properties and start throwing Molotov cocktails, of course I'm going to shoot them.
Absolutely.
There's no question.
You've got to be willing to respond appropriately.
When violent crimes are being committed against you.
And the people of South Africa are finding out that, you know, the police are not there and the news doesn't matter.
You either live or die.
You know, you got to defend yourself and your property and your home and your family or you will die.
All right, point number 10.
A lot of people are surprised by this one, but the police are on video looting people.
In South Africa.
Now, I'm not surprised because, see, so people say, oh my God, the police are looting.
You know, they're stealing stuff.
How do you think the police are going to be able to function when they've run out of supplies?
Of course the police are looting.
They're trying to get water, food, and ammunition in order to keep doing their jobs.
It's not like the police are just looting so they can sell crap on eBay.
You know, at least not the videos I saw.
The police are, quote, looting as a resupply so they can keep fighting.
That's what I saw.
Maybe there are police that are looting, you know, tennis shoes and what have you.
But for the most part, in a collapsed scenario, of course, police will break into a convenience store to get food and water.
If they're still in the fight, you're going to have to do that.
So I'm not surprised by that.
It's not the same as looters looting.
These are cops just trying to remain in supply.
Oh, but it also brings up the question, and I've said this before too, I'm one of these community-minded preppers where I have over-prepared on many things like salt, for example, you know, and silver water, you know, emergency first aid colloidal silver.
I've over-prepared a lot of things in the anticipation of donating things to my local community when the collapse really strikes.
So I've stockpiled I'm not going to go into a list, obviously, but I've stockpiled things, not just for me.
I've stockpiled some things that I will donate to local churches to help those who are in a state of desperation.
But I've also stockpiled some things that would help local law enforcement.
And because I know, I know how desperate their situation is.
I know that they have very little gear and that they have very little ammo.
So...
If you are in a situation where you have local law enforcement that's willing to help defend your community, you might reach out and say, hey, how can I help?
I've got, you know, fill in the blank, I've got extra tourniquets, or I've got a trauma kit here, or 10 trauma kits, you know?
I've got LED flashlights.
Whatever you have, you might want to consider that.
Again, as long as you've got law enforcement on the side of civility and the rule of law and pro-Second Amendment and so on, which is going to be the case in most red states and red areas, don't automatically think of law enforcement as being the bad guys here.
In most cases, they're not.
They're the good guys.
They're trying to restore the rule of law.
And they have very little equipment, and usually they're wildly outnumbered.
And in some cases, overrun.
And, you know, I don't know how much detail I want to go into, but there's, you know, you can really enhance the effectiveness of local law enforcement with just a few key items.
I'll just leave it to you to think about what those things might be, because I don't want to give away my game plan.
But I tell you what, we're not going to be caught flat-footed.
That's for sure.
And anybody who tries to do massive looting, you know, across Texas, it's probably going to be met by, you know, 10,000 people like me.
It's, you know, the looting won't last long in Texas.
That's for sure.
All right.
Point number 11, storage locations.
You know, those storage garages that you can rent, you know, you get a 10 by 10 foot little storage thing.
Those are all looted in South Africa as well.
So If you thought your belongings were safe in a storage location, think again.
Think about that.
And I say the same thing for safe deposit boxes in banks.
I don't trust the banks, number one, to stay out of the box.
But banks can also be looted and ransacked, and people, if they're not out of their minds crazy, they might decide to just start going through the safe deposit boxes and seeing what kind of goodies they can find in there.
Because at some point, these looters in South Africa, at some point they're going to figure, gosh, since we just burned down the entire food infrastructure, we might need some diamonds and gold and jewelry and silver coins or whatever in order to buy food and not starve for the next two years while the country hopefully rebuilds.
I don't know if they've come to that realization yet, but that's going to hit them real soon here.
Real soon.
Hey, I know.
I got an idea.
Maybe we should take a page out of the book of Democrats that have signs that say, like, a no-gun zone, right?
Don't they have that in their schools?
They say, keep the guns out, so they just have a sign, no guns.
They should put no looting signs in front of grocery stores and power plants.
And shipping ports and so on, right?
Wouldn't that work, according to Democrats?
Just have no looting signs.
Oh, wait!
Looters don't care about the signs, do they?
Just like mass murderers and mass shooters don't care about no-gun-zone signs, do they?
Yeah, because Democrats are insane.
But you already knew that.
Alright, point number 12, I already mentioned this, that looters become irrational and then they go way beyond the point of just trying to seek out what they need, such as food.
They become irrational, just burn everything to the ground.
Okay, point number 13, the media places zero blame on the looters.
This is what's fascinating about things that have happened lately.
So the media is always justifying the actions of these looters.
I think especially in this case because many of them are people of color.
And that was also true in the United States in 2020 because they were leftists.
So if leftists are looting or people of color are looting, the media will always give them a pass.
But can you imagine the outcry if a group of, like, white good old boys were looting somewhere?
Oh, that would be terrorism, you know?
But when a bunch of radical leftists or Antifa or Black Lives Matter, even like crazy tattooed white boys who are leftists, who look like gargoyles, if they start looting, the media's going to say, well, that's not looting, that's a peaceful demonstration.
But And remember in California, shoplifting has been legalized in many left-wing cities under the justification that, well, they needed that stuff.
They needed it.
Remember that video a couple weeks ago?
That guy in that pharmacy, just on his bicycle, inside the pharmacy, just with a big black trash bag, loading it up with all the products on the shelves.
And then he just rode his bike right out while the security guard was watching.
Welcome to California.
You can't prosecute people for shoplifting because the courts will throw it out and say, well, they needed that stuff.
Well, so isn't that the same argument that's going to be used when the looters come for you?
See?
So when the financial system collapses or the power grid goes down or the water supply stops in a major city or the food supply stops, which is coming.
Trust me on that.
We've seen that firsthand.
The looters are going to fan out from the cities and they're going to go into suburban areas and they're going to go into rural areas and the media is going to say, well, it's okay for them to ransack private farms because they need that stuff.
See, that's going to be the justification.
So you are never going to have the media on your side when you are defending your stuff.
When you're defending your food, your farm, your property, your family, and so on.
You're never going to have the media on your side.
There's some very profound implications from that.
And one of them is you obviously don't want to You don't want to be forced into a situation where you have to shoot looters, except as a very last resort.
There are all kinds of things that you can do to dissuade looters from targeting your farmhouse or your ranch or what have you.
And I've covered these, by the way.
I have an online book that's free.
It's an audio book.
You can download the whole thing for free at globalreset.news.
It's called the Global Reset Survival Guide, and it goes into all the detail.
This is like eight or nine hours.
The free audio book.
Just go there, download it for free.
You can download the MP3 files.
But one of the things I mentioned in that book is how to create the illusion that your farm or your house, you know, out in the country has already been ransacked.
You can create the illusion that there's already been a fire.
You can create the illusion that looting's already happened.
And it's very easy to do.
Basically, you just, you take a bunch of stuff and just throw it out in the front yard.
You take a mattress, You take an old car, set it on fire.
Again, I'm talking about desperate times.
Don't get the fire marshals after me on this.
I'm talking about desperate times.
You create the illusion that you've already been ransacked.
Now, here in the South, throwing a bunch of crap out into the front yard is called a yard sale on any given weekend.
That's a yard sale.
Everybody's trash in their front yard.
But in a collapse, it's the same thing, but you just don't put your trash on tables, and you don't have prices on it.
You just throw all your trash out in the front.
Throw your mattresses, you know, make it look ransacked, and then you can actually paint what looks like smoke in Smoke, what do you call it?
Stains?
I don't know.
Smoke patterns above your windows so it looks like there was a fire.
There's a whole art to this.
I'm not going to go into all the details, but there's a way to look like you've already been looted.
And there's another tip that I've learned from some of my survivalist friends, and I'm going to pass this along even though it's a little gross, but whatever.
It turns out that nobody wants to loot a building or a house that smells like dead corpses.
Yes, like, you know, dead animals, what have you.
People don't want to be around things that make them vomit.
You know, they don't want to be around really sick, nasty stuff.
And if you really want to dissuade somebody from finding something or going into an area that Or let's say, I don't know, you have a gold bar, a really valuable gold bar, and you really don't want people to find it, you know, you bury it under an outdoor latrine is what you do.
Nobody wants to dig through human feces, it turns out.
Not even in a collapse, you see.
I know.
I told you.
I told you it's going to be gross.
And nobody wants to walk through a building that smells like dead animals.
And if you live out in the country, there's probably dead animals all over the place that you can harvest for that purpose because animals actually die too.
You know, deer, raccoons, cows, whatever.
I'm just saying.
I mean, it's really a last-ditch situation, but...
You can dissuade the average person with the smell of dying, dead animal corpses, it turns out.
I bet you didn't think you were going to learn that today.
Of all the crazy things that we've talked about over the last year, you're like, did he just say harvest dead deer?
I'm talking about a collapse, okay?
I'm talking about survival strategies.
Give me some slack here.
Okay, point number 14.
Oh, yeah.
Gun control.
If you live in an area with gun control, think about what gun control would have meant in South Africa if the people trying to defend their communities and their property and so on.
If they did not have guns, they would already be dead and probably raped because, again, the looting mob is irrational at this point.
So they're not there.
If they can overrun you, they're not going to say, oh, we win, give us your food, and we'll leave.
No.
They're going to do horrific things.
They're going to beat you.
I'm not going to go into it.
But gun control will get you killed.
In other words, gun control is like suicide.
Because there are going to be looting mobs, I believe, that Coming out of every major city, probably in America at least, and a lot of this throughout Central and South America.
And if you have no guns, you have no leverage to defend yourself against a crazy mob.
What are you going to do?
Pull out a sword?
You know, wait for them to get that close?
You can't fight a mob with a sword.
You can fight a mob with an AR-15 if you know what you're doing with it.
By the way, one of the videos out of South Africa showed people with shotguns, you know, and I mentioned this the other day.
Shotguns are not long-range weapons.
Just to let you know, that's kind of indoors stuff.
Once they get indoors, shotguns might be effective.
But you don't defend a nation with shotguns.
You do it with rifles.
Rifles have range, and a standard AR-15 has a range of roughly up to 350 meters pretty readily if you know what you're doing.
Actually, you can push those 5.56 rounds out to 600 meters if you know your holds.
They lose a lot of velocity, and they don't hit with the same impact, but imagine if there's a crazy looting mob coming for you, And you're part of like a sheriff's deputy community defense team and you're trying to guard, I don't know, like a bridge or something.
And there's a crazy angry mob coming at you.
Can you and the sheriff and all the people in your community, can you start lobbing rounds out there when the enemy is 600 yards away?
Absolutely you can.
That's like AR mortar fire.
And that's very effective.
You're going to see a lot of people change their minds.
When others start falling, you know, they start taking rounds.
And those rounds may not be as catastrophic because, again, they lose so much energy over that distance.
They lose a lot of velocity.
And so energy is, you know, one-half mass times velocity squared.
So those rounds are just, they're not going to kill as many people, but they're going to make a lot of people bleed and rethink.
Like, why did I decide to come here today?
Now that I got this hole in my bicep.
Things like that.
Getting people to rethink why they're trying to assault your town, basically.
Okay, what is this point number 15 I already mentioned?
Point 16 is kind of the conclusion here, which I also mentioned, but it's that the infrastructure of society can be destroyed in an instant, but it takes years to rebuild.
And so this is why...
If you're going to defend your civilization, your nation or your community or your state or your region, it's not enough to stop the looters from raping and pillaging your residential community.
You also have to stop the looters from burning down the power plants and the refineries and the grocery stores and the food distribution hubs and so on.
That's the key.
And the water plants, if they can burn those down, they probably will.
You have to organize somehow.
You're going to need radios and comms for this.
You're going to need ballistic vests.
You're going to need rifles and ammo, all this stuff.
You have to defend the infrastructure, otherwise you can't recover from the collapse.
If you let them burn down everything, including the farms and the farming equipment and so on, how are you going to possibly recover?
You're going to have a long collapse after that.
So it's not just about protecting yourself from the looters.
It turns out that infrastructure in America and most other countries is incredibly vulnerable to looting mobs.
For example, if a bunch of looters want to break into, let's say, a power substation and start ripping apart the power substation equipment, or let's say they want to break into a local, like a natural gas power plant.
There are quite a few of those all over the country, California and Texas and everywhere else.
And they can easily sabotage the natural gas power plant.
And they can take, you know, megawatts of power offline.
Very quickly.
They can thrust you into a third world existence very quickly.
Where you don't have refrigeration, you don't have lights, you don't have air conditioning, all that.
And it doesn't take them much time at all.
With certain types of looting, mob, sabotage, they can destroy the equipment to the extent where it could take years to replace it or rebuild it.
And they can do that in, you know, minutes.
They can fry the equipment or melt it down or what have you.
So it brings up a really important question that I'll pose to you.
When is a community justified in shooting looters, i.e.
killing them, when it comes to protecting infrastructure?
So if looters are burning a farm, do you have the right to shoot them?
Well, they're not necessarily attacking a person.
But aren't they destroying the infrastructure that would keep people alive for years to come, you see?
Or if they're attacking a power plant, do you have the right to shoot them as part of your community security?
You know, you're going to have to make that decision based on the circumstances of what you're facing.
But you've got to understand, when they take down infrastructure, they can cause many people to die.
So attacks on infrastructure are indirect manslaughter attacks on the population.
And I think that a lot of people get this, and they would protect, especially nuclear power plants, you know, they would protect infrastructure.
You've got to protect hospitals and so on.
But if you don't have organization and you don't have enough local people who are armed via the Second Amendment, then how are you going to do that?
Because again, especially in blue cities and blue states, the police are defunded and they're also demoralized.
And most of the police, if it comes to this in some kind of a blue city, You think the police are going to face off against crazy, angry mobs of thousands of people when the police are treated like dirt every single day by the mayor and the police captain and the chief and everybody?
No!
They're going to say, I'm turning in my badge and gun, I'm going home, and then they're going to pull out their own private AR at home.
That's what's going to happen.
Every cop owns one.
More than one.
What am I saying?
They're going to go home and pull out their weapons barrage, and they're going to protect their family and their community that way.
They're not going to stay on the job.
So the police are not going to be protecting infrastructure in these blue cities and states.
And this is how the infrastructure gets completely ransacked and destroyed.
And again, those of you who think that this is just black people in Africa, think again.
A bunch of crazy white libtards in California can do just as much damage and can be just as irrational.
Heck, they were burning down buildings a year and a half ago.
They burned down their own neighborhoods.
Black and white and every other race and color.
It's not about race.
This is about...
How the globalists are making people mentally ill and causing them to snap and overreact and destroy the society around them.
And this is exactly what the globalists want.
Exactly.
This is the chaos they want because it then justifies everything they want to do and it achieves, of course, mass starvation, martial law, military deployment domestically, gun confiscation, all these things that go with it.
That's what it accomplishes.
So they love this stuff.
They love the chaos, and they will do everything in their power to try to promote the chaos and then profit from it.
Never let a crisis go to waste, right?
That's the way globalists think.
Now, I want to read you something else, and this is kind of the last point for today, but there's a FEMA.gov press release that was put out, I think, in June.
Yeah, June 4th.
That shows that FEMA Corps...
They've got a team that they call Gulf 4.
Okay.
For whatever reason, they've got codenamed teams.
And they launched their first service mission in Philadelphia in support of the city's vaccination mission, says the press release.
So I'm going to read more from this, but the point is that FEMA, once there is chaos in the streets, FEMA will roll out the vaccine death camps The forced quarantines, the roundups, everything that they want to do, they'll do it under the cover of a crisis, a public health emergency, perhaps at the same time that there's massive looting and other things happening.
FEMA can't wait to do this.
In fact, they've already had teams deployed for vaccine missions.
From that press release, quote, the team has been providing assistance at the Center City Vaccination Center, CCVC. I guess they don't think that's redundant.
It's the Center City Vaccination Center, located at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the PCC. Oh, God, these government people love their acronyms, don't they?
The CCVC was initially equipped to distribute up to 6,000 vaccinations per day, An operation successfully managed by a united effort.
Oh, it's united, holding hands.
Between FEMA, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management, and, get this, the Department of Defense.
And you go, what?
The DOD? The DOD. The DOD was working with FEMA on a vaccination mission in Philadelphia already earlier this year?
Yeah, that's in the press release.
I just read that.
You can read it yourself at FEMA.gov.
Again, it's a July, I'm sorry, June 4th.
Press release.
FEMA core team.
Gulf 4 supports Philadelphia vaccination outreach efforts.
So it's the DOD and FEMA. Now, if you thought the DOD was focused on defending America's borders, you know, shores against foreign threats, you know, maybe defend the nation against communist China.
No, no, no, no.
In fact, there was a new report that came out that said the Navy...
Is mostly incapable of doing anything meaningful to defend America because they're focused on too much woke crap now.
And there's a bunch of bureaucracy, but mostly it's just, you know, woke-tard training inside the Navy at this point.
I'm sorry to say that because there's a lot of good veterans who came out of the Navy.
I'm sure you're just as frustrated as I am, but today the Navy has become a woke-tard indoctrination center.
You know, the typical aircraft carrier is basically high school now.
Well, actually, it's kind of been like that for a long time.
Now it's a Woketard high school.
It's a floating Woketard indoctrination center, totally incapable of defending the country.
So what's the Pentagon doing?
Instead of defending America against foreign threats?
Oh, they're running vaccine missions against American people in U.S. cities with FEMA. You got that?
So that's happening.
Well, it's already happened.
And these things, typically, they're pilot programs for what's coming later in the fall.
We're going to see forced quarantines.
We're going to see COVID death camps in America.
We're going to see door-to-door gunpoint vaccination campaigns authorized by fake President Biden, authorized by the Woketard Pentagon.
We're going to see soldiers going door-to-door with forced vaccinations.
And then, when the collapse really hits, we're going to see mobs of looters fleeing the cities, ransacking rural communities, looking for food, burning farms, and just moving America into a total collapse, okay?
That's all coming.
You're going to be under attack by the looters and your own government that's declared war on you, by the way.
They want you to either die from the vaccine or die in a gun battle or they want to execute you for owning a gun or not taking a vaccine.
I mean, the attacks on you, the good Americans, the good Christians, the attacks on you are going to be relentless.
And at some point, by the way, they're going to come for your stored food too, so you better figure out how to hide that.
Suddenly that dead deer idea comes back into usefulness.
Oh, there's no food in that shed, officer.
We just gutted a deer in there two weeks ago, right?
You see what I mean?
And they walk in there like, oh my God, and now we'll come back later.
See?
See?
All of a sudden, it's useful.
I'm not joking.
No, this is not a joke.
You want to survive what's coming.
You're going to have to get truly hardcore in your survival thinking, your survival strategies.
Because everybody's gunning for you.
For all of us who are Americans, they're gunning for us.
They want to destroy us.
They want to kill us.
And it's every nightmare scenario that we've talked about is now being implemented.
From door-to-door vaccines and forced quarantine camps, martial law, gun confiscation, false flag operations, invasion of Chinese troops under the UN banner.
Massive food scarcity, engineered famine, total desperation, grid down, power scenarios, and a financial collapse.
On top of that, yeah, that's exactly what's coming.
I don't know the timeline of all of it.
It could be anywhere from now through the next several years, but you've heard my prediction many times.
By the end of 2025, we don't have America as we once knew it.
It's gone.
It is no longer the United States of America.
And I think it won't be the USA long before that time, but we'll see.
Sometimes I'm a little early on my predictions.
But this is not the time to be a soft thinker on this.
This is a time to realize that all the cards are on the table.
This is for everything.
This is the end game.
You either live and defend your nation, Or you surrender and die and America is lost.
And right now, what I think needs to happen is mass arrests of every single public official who has been involved in this fraudulent pandemic from the very start.
The people who pushed the vaccines, the people who covered up ivermectin as a therapeutic that could work, the people who built the bioweapons, the propagandists who have Try to silence people who are telling the truth about vaccine injuries, the big tech managers who push the censorship to keep everybody in the dark.
We need to have mass arrests in this country and shut that thing down and restore freedom, restore liberty, restore America, and tell people, take off the damn masks.
You don't need to social distance.
You don't need to take the deadly spike protein vaccine shot.
Take care of your health.
Eat some vitamin D. Get some sunshine.
Get back to normal life.
Just drop the fear.
That's what we need.
But I'm not sure that's going to happen anytime soon.
Might take yet more deaths before people realize what's happening.
In fact, I think that's going to be the situation.
So my prediction is tens of millions of Americans will die.
Over the next few years from these scenarios I've described.
I mean, maybe just from the vaccine itself, but it's more than that.
It's also economic collapse and grid-down scenarios and probably martial law, you know, COVID camps and so on.
Tens of millions of Americans will die over the next few years.
Make sure that that list doesn't include you.
This is survivable.
Most Americans, I think, will survive this.
Most will survive it.
And especially those who are well equipped, ready to survive.
And that means having supplies.
It means having knowledge and the awareness of all the things I'm talking about and watching what happens in South Africa.
Watch how government responds.
Watch how civilians respond.
Watch how the looters behave.
This is a very important learning experience for those of you in other parts of the world to see what's coming.
And then plan on losing a transactional capability.
Plan on not having access to groceries, for example.
You know, plan on things not functioning for an extended period of time.
And what kinds of things are barterable?
What kinds of things do people really crave in a collapse, you know, in addition to ammo?
Well, it's cigarettes, it's alcohol, it's coffee, it's all, you know, barter items.
Speaking of coffee, By the way, to help support our store, if you choose, healthrangerstore.com, we have Honduras honey-processed coffee that people rave about, and we've got it in stock.
And I think you can buy, like, multiple packs.
Just go to the Health Ranger store, search for coffee.
This is, like, crazy gourmet premium certified organic fair trade coffee.
If you don't absolutely love it, you can also use it as a barter item, but people rave about this.
I'm not a big coffee drinker myself, so I can't really tell good coffee from bad coffee, but people rave about this, and that's a good way to help support us.
But think about the kinds of things that can be barter items.
Like I said, cigarettes.
People who are smokers are desperate.
When they can't get them, you know what the value of a pack of cigarettes is in a barter economy, a post-collapse economy?
I mean, I actually, it was a couple years ago, but I bought packs of, I don't know what you call them, you know, packs of cigarettes.
I've still got them.
What do you call it?
It's like 12 packs in a stick, a giant unit.
It's not a case.
I don't know.
But I bought a bunch of cigarettes.
I'm still sitting on them.
I have honey.
I have all kinds of honey.
I have manuka honey, which is also like a first aid type of honey, right?
I've got loads of honey and cigarettes and alcohol.
I buy vodka because I know I can use it to make herbal tinctures, or I can use it as a barter item.
I can trade vodka, or you can use it as an antiseptic in an emergency.
But I also have antiseptics.
I have povidone iodine.
And I make colloidal silver in large drums, hundreds of gallons at a time.
I make that stuff.
So I know I can barter that, but think about what can you make or acquire that you can barter?
Because I know that this audience has an amazing assortment of skills.
Everything from seed saving to making products, or maybe you've got milking cows, or maybe you know how to repair things.
Maybe you can repair electronics.
Maybe you can work on firearms.
Maybe you're a gunsmith.
I don't know.
People have all kinds of skills.
It's amazing.
Medical skills, too.
So think about what you can barter and then make sure you've got enough of a supply to be able to use it as currency.
When all of this happens.
Because right now in South Africa, wouldn't it be great to have ammo to barter?
You know how much you could get for ammo?
Just like 50 rounds of 9mm?
You know what that's worth in South Africa right now?
That's worth a small fortune.
Or if you needed ammo, wouldn't it be great to have gold and silver?
Because everybody knows that that's worth something too.
So this is a time to think about all these things.
Once again, South Africa is a reminder to all of us.
And by the way, we pray for peace in South Africa.
We pray for the protection and safety of everyone there.
All we want is a society where people can get along and live together peacefully and enjoy abundance, which occurs through free market principles, by the way.
So we need government to be small and freedom to be big.
And if we had that, if we had the freedom to work and the freedom to move freely through society, then South Africa wouldn't be having riots right now because they wouldn't be suffering from all the poverty they have right now.
So this is a government-created problem.
It's not about race.
It's government.
It's bad government.
And they're creating the same problems all over the world.
So as we're praying for their safety, let's also pray for small government.
How about that?
Let's pray that when this system collapses, that we don't mistakenly recreate another government monster that takes away everybody's rights and freedoms and productivity and steals all their money and locks people down with artificially created, plandemic, what do you call it?
Illusions.
I don't know.
We need to think about what kind of society we're creating because this one's going to fall.
This one's going to fall.
We can make it through.
We can survive and we can rebuild.
But you're going to have to be ready, mentally ready, for some of the things I just talked about today.
I know it's aggressive or harsh sounding sometimes, but this is life and death and polite society is about to become a thing of the past.
If you don't believe me, just ask anybody in South Africa right now.
It's no longer a polite society.
Police do not function.
Infrastructure is collapsed.
It's live or die.
It's survival.
It's a war zone.
It's a failed state.
And that's coming to America as well.
So thank you for listening.
God bless America.
Thank you for your support.
I'll be back with you tomorrow with another podcast.
Depending on what happens over the next 24 hours.
I'm Mike Adams.
Of course, the Health Ranger.
Thank you for listening today.
I'll talk with you tomorrow.
Until then, take care.
God bless.
A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
