Situation Update, 10/11/21 - Shelves go BARE in NYC...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Alright, welcome to the Situation Update for Monday, October 11th, 2021.
The acceleration of the collapse of various things continued throughout the weekend.
We had, of course, the power grid went down for the entire nation of Lebanon.
It is currently offline.
And we've had, let's see, additional blackouts happening in India.
And then reports of, what is it, retail pharmacy shelves going bare in New York City at Walgreens and CVS pharmacies and others.
More rolling blackouts expected across the United States this winter with the Epoch Times covering that story.
And then we have the air traffic control, basically a walkout that was happening over the weekend.
1,800 flights canceled for Southwest Airlines, while Southwest denies that it was a walkout or a sick out or anything like that.
In effect, Southwest Airlines is just saying that the whole industry is just too incompetent to function, that it didn't have anything to do with coordinated protests against vaccine mandates.
But we're going to get to that story and more.
The collapse is accelerating, as you well know.
People are seeing it in their own cities and on the retail store shelves, and they're experiencing the delays and the food inflation.
It's all getting very real to a lot of people who previously were in a state of denial.
So we're going to cover all that and quite a bit more today.
A couple of notes and a couple of items to review that were very important.
I did post some podcasts over the weekend that you might want to look at.
One of the podcasts, in case you didn't see it, let's see, the title is that those who mock you for prepping will soon be begging you for food.
That was yesterday, Sunday.
And then on Saturday, major food supplier ceases operations as food supply chain collapse accelerates.
And that podcast story, of course, was about Augustin Farms, which has said that they cannot fulfill any orders at this time.
They're suspending all their business for 90 days.
They're going to, they say, work on securing and stockpiling raw materials.
That appears to be their effort.
And I don't know what to say.
Well, actually, a couple of questions have arisen about this situation.
I was a little bit...
Confused by the letter from Augustin Farms?
Actually, let me bring it up because I've got to read you from this letter.
I posted the letter on naturalnews.com and it says here...
Therefore, this letter communicates our decision to suspend business for the next 90 days effective immediately.
And then, oh, and regrettably, we cannot fulfill your orders on time that the raw material shortages have caused substantial delays in our procurement and production processes.
But then they say, or Mark Augustin says in the letter, we are confident that this reset period will We'll help us better serve you with on-time complete shipments in the future.
I found that phrase a little odd, a reset period, and then that they would resume shipments in the future.
Now, let me get this clear here.
I'm not criticizing in any way Augustin Farms or Mark Augustin at all.
I think the Augustin Farms Company has helped provide a lot of relatively affordable stored food for a lot of people over the years.
And they have good retail chain distribution and so on.
So for those looking for non-organic stuff, Augustin Farms has been a really abundant supplier for a lot of people.
However, as an owner of a food supply company myself, if I face a total collapse of the supply chain, which we are facing a partial collapse of the supply chain, but it hasn't been a total collapse, but were we to face a total collapse, I would not shutter the business for 90 days.
I would say, hey, we're out of stock.
And, you know, sign up to our email alert list.
We'll email you when something's back in stock, right?
And we'll make it when we get it.
That's what I would...
In fact, that is what I have done at the Health Ranger store.
But Augustin Farms is shutting down, apparently, for 90 days, during which they're going to secure and stockpile raw materials.
I... Personally, it doesn't make sense to me.
It doesn't add up.
And there are other cases, and I'm not saying that this is what's happening to Augustin Farms, but it's something that is possible.
It's plausible.
You should consider this.
The feds run around buying up everything that companies have available at retail.
And this has happened in the past with night vision optics, for example.
And it's happened with storable food companies.
And I know the owner of a night vision company that had the FBI come in and preempt all the existing orders.
The FBI basically bought up Sort of jumped in front of the line and bought up all the orders, all the inventory that had already been purchased by regular customers.
The FBI came in and bought it up and said, you got to sell it to us first, you know, national security.
Even though that's a joke.
We know the FBI is not involved in defending America, but, you know, tearing it down, right?
But that's what they did.
We've also heard stories of food companies that have issued recalls.
A massive amount of ground beef is recalled, or frozen pizzas are recalled, or some kind of food.
And 20,000 pizzas have been recalled.
And you never hear, well, what happened to those pizzas?
What I'm hearing is that some of these so-called recalls are actually the federal government Jumping in and acquiring all of those items at the factory and stockpiling them.
And then in order to explain why there's a shortage in the supply lines, the manufacturer tells the public or puts out a press release, oh, we had a recall.
There might have been E. coli or whatever.
The onions weren't correct on the pizza.
The cheese was out of spec!
And then, you know, 10,000 pizzas go into the underground tunnels and bunkers and underground cities that are being stockpiled by the government.
So again, I'm not saying that this is what happened with Augustin Farms.
I'm not accusing them in any way.
I actually feel a sense of camaraderie, right, with colleagues at Augustin Farms.
I'm sorry that they're suffering through this, but...
It wouldn't surprise me if the federal government had gone to them and said, you got to give us everything you can produce for the next 90 days, period, and you can't tell the public.
And then in this thought experiment that Mark Augustin had to write a letter to explain to the public why they can't fill any orders to the public for 90 days.
Because it's all going to the feds, you know, allegedly.
Again, I'm not saying, I don't have proof that this is the case, but I've seen this happen before, and it kind of smacks of this kind of thing.
And it brings up the question, what would happen if the feds came to my company and said, you know, walk in, we're buying everything you can produce for the next 90 days, and it's national security, and you can't tell the public.
Oh, and if you do tell the public, we'll arrest you and charge you with violating national security laws, right?
They would throw that in there, too, you know, just to juice it a little bit, just to make you comply.
What would I do in that situation?
And it's pretty obvious.
I would do what...
I mean, you're forced to...
They're saying you either sell us all your stuff or you go to prison.
So what are you going to do?
I mean, they're basically putting a gun to your head and saying sell us all your food.
So guess what?
That's what you have to do.
So I am announcing up front right now today, as the founder of HealthRangerStore.com, that I have zero intention, no intention whatsoever of shutting down sales to the public.
And if that were to happen, you should revisit this recording.
That's all I'm saying.
There's no situation where I will voluntarily shut down operations for 90 days or stop selling to our listeners and viewers because you are the ones who have kept us alive and functioning.
I would never cut you off.
Not voluntarily, not unless somebody had a gun in my head.
Okay?
So just letting you know that right up front.
And I'm not saying this is what happened with Augustine Farms.
I'm not sure.
But I know it's happened to other companies before.
And I bet it's happening right now across the board.
And you know why?
You know why I think this is happening?
Because the government...
The different agencies, they all have budgets, they all have COVID money, and they themselves are flipping the F out.
They are flipping out over the collapse that they see happening all around them.
Some of them are complicit in engineering that collapse.
They know what's coming.
This is not some big secret to them.
They absolutely see what's coming.
They know that the food is running out.
They know that the power grid is being engineered into rolling blackouts.
They know the energy shortage is happening worldwide.
And frankly, the deeper people are inside the State Department or the CIA or maybe the FBI, certainly the NSA, the deeper they are in those organizations, the more they know about what's happening with the collapse compared to regular oblivious mainstream people who don't know.
A lot of people in the State Department, for example, they get the memos from the other countries.
They know what's going on.
And the people in the CIA have all kinds of access to all kinds of information about what's really happening in the world.
And they have many months lead time compared to typical people.
So you can bet they are flipping out right now.
And they themselves are probably taking a lot of that COVID money You know, this flood of billions and billions, and they're just saying, let's buy a massive amount of food and ammunition and night vision, whatever else is on their list.
LED flashlights, emergency radios.
Part of the supply line shortage that you're actually seeing taking place across America is not simply things not making it to the store shelves because of supply line restrictions.
I think a lot of the shortage is because government agencies are buying up everything in sight.
And they are stockpiling like mad.
And there are underground cities, folks.
There are underground bases.
There are tunnel highway systems underneath North America and Europe and many places around the world.
And this is where they plan to ride out the apocalypse that they are unleashing upon our world with biological weapons, terraforming of the atmosphere.
You know, through chemtrails and other means, stratospheric aerosol injection and so on.
And also then the total collapse, the chaos, the violence, the lawlessness that's coming on the surface.
And you can bet these globalists You think Mark Zuckerberg only has an island in Hawaii?
You think that's it?
No, he's got underground stuff.
He's got houses underground.
They all do, all these globalists.
That's where they're going to go.
They can live there for years while the people on the surface of the earth shoot each other and kill each other and starve and die from disease.
And that's part of the plan, folks.
That is part of the plan.
So now it all kind of makes sense.
When you see companies shutting down, you should start asking this question.
Are they still producing goods, but they're just not selling them to the public?
If so, where are the goods going?
Now, I can tell you as a matter of fact, this happened in the ammo industry over the last several years many times.
Major ammo manufacturers like CCI, for example, I don't know who all makes ammo, Remington and so on, All these ammo manufacturers, they get preempted by massive government orders, and the government doesn't stand in line to buy the ammo.
They show up and they say, we are moving to the front of the line.
We're the Pentagon, or we are the DEA, or the ATF. We're moving to the front of the line.
And if you don't move us to the front of the line, oh, we're going to open investigations into you.
You see how that works?
Especially the ATF, they can wield that.
So the ATF is able to run around and just buy up all the equipment they want, all the ammo, all the guns.
The ATF is basically a giant army at this point, like a rogue, out-of-control army.
I know there are some good agents inside the ATF, but...
Under Garland and the DOJ, the ATF is now being weaponized against America, just like the FBI has been, and the FDA, and the CDC, and so on and so forth.
So the ATF is like its own army at this point, and they've got some very badass weapons because they can just demand to any manufacturer, you know, sell us your full auto 7.62 battle rifle or whatever.
And guess what?
The ATF gets what they want.
Or if they can't get it that way, they just go out and steal it from somebody and say, oh, look what we found in your house, you know?
I guess it might be hard to find somebody who's got full auto 7.62.
But I'm sure they're out there.
Like M60s from Vietnam.
There's some M60s out there.
I'm sure that some of those pieces of hardware probably get stolen in raids and so on.
Yeah.
I mean, look, we're living in a lawless society right now.
And all these little government agency fiefdoms are just breaking the law and doing whatever they want, whatever they can get away with.
That's where we are.
Pretty incredible.
Now, switching gears here, I got some good news for you.
You know the Food Rising Mini Farm Grow Box that I've been talking about these last few weeks?
This is a suspended net pot non-circulating hydroponic technology for growing food without electricity.
And you probably heard me raving about this.
And it's what I use.
And I am restarting a bunch of plants using this system right now.
I'm going to bring you some photos and videos pretty soon, in the next 30 days, about my progress because it's It's super delicious.
I can't wait to munch on all this juicy, juicy lettuce that's coming out of these things.
And I'm growing basil, I'm growing bok choy, and I'm growing some mint plants and stuff like that as well.
And I'm going to be growing, I'm going to get some bigger plants and do tomatoes and cucumbers.
Yeah, zucchinis.
It should be very interesting.
I'm doing all this indoors this time using this non-circulating hydroponic system.
And I'm using grow lights because I found some really efficient grow lights that produce very little heat.
They produce a ton of light, but very little heat.
So there's not a lot of energy involved compared to the way they used to be.
Used to take an enormous amount of energy to grow your own vegetables.
It just wasn't worth it.
But now today, with the more energy efficient lights, plus the food inflation at the grocery store, it actually makes a lot of sense to grow your own, let's say, red peppers.
I love red peppers.
Have you ever tried to price organic red peppers?
They plastic wrap each pepper.
They're so valuable.
They're like $5 each.
So anyway, the news is we're going to release a new version of the Food Rising Mini Farm Grow Box that is greatly simplified to be extremely low-tech.
We are getting rid of the float valve.
We're getting rid of the external water tank.
We're getting rid of, frankly, the external water supply.
And instead, you are simply required to manually fill water a little bit each day in each of the bins to keep about three to four inches of water with nutrient solution, obviously, in the bottom of the bin.
And we have a very clever little float indicator here.
That lets you know, just by glancing at the bin, you can see how much water is in it, so you don't have to lift the lid.
So this is coming as soon as we solve our labor shortage problem, and we're working on that.
We may have a solution here.
As soon as we get some people back in, we already have a CNC machine that drills out the holes in all of these lids.
And then we're going to begin selling the bins just with the lids as a simple system, nothing complex, no valve, no moving parts, nothing, super simple.
That's going to be for sale soon.
But as I've also said, I encourage you to make your own.
I will be filming more videos about this soon to show you how to make your own, or at least some of the bullet points of it.
You need a hole saw.
You need some net pots that are three inches in diameter or four inches in diameter, Or if you want to grow big plants, you can get five or six inches.
And you need some really sturdy bins that can hold, that can be full of water.
And you need some nutrient solution, calcium and magnesium and trace minerals, some potassium and so on.
You know, hydroponic solutions.
And using that, no circulation.
No air bubblers, no pumps.
You can grow food.
You can grow a massive amount of food with very little effort.
I'm going to be bringing you more there in the weeks and months ahead, assuming things are still functioning, by the way.
And speaking of the things not functioning, the breakdown, you know, the oil spill that happened in California over the last week plus happened Do you realize that that oil spill was caused now, we know now, by one of the ships dropping an anchor?
You know how all those ships are hanging out there because they can't dock, because the ports don't have enough workers, because Moron Newsome...
And, you know, the Biden COVID communism agenda has sent everybody home.
Instead of allowing people to work, they've been sent home.
And so the ports don't have enough crane operators and truck drivers and everything.
So all these ports, I'm sorry, ships are sitting off the port in the ocean and they're dropping anchors.
Well, one of the anchors dropped on the pipeline.
That's what caused the pipeline spill, at least according to our current understanding.
And I know that the people in California, especially the left-wing people, are blaming the oil companies.
Oh, it's evil oil.
If it wasn't for the idiotic communist COVID lockdowns, we wouldn't have had the ships drop an anchor out there.
We wouldn't have this problem.
There wouldn't be an oil spill.
And we wouldn't have supply line problems running out of everything.
So you see how this desire to just shut down everything in the name of COVID. If one person dies, it's one person too many.
We have to destroy the economy.
And in doing so, it unleashes this chain of insane events, which includes oil spills.
And also, by the way, have you noticed the whole world now is scrambling to burn more coal?
Greta Thunberg, she must be sobbing her wittle-wittle eyes out because the world has gone exactly the opposite way that she wanted.
She wanted everything to be green, solar and wind and clean energy forever and ever.
And it's now because the green has not fulfilled its promise.
Now everybody's like, bring me coal.
Sell me more coal.
Even China's like, give us coal.
India, we need more coal.
Europe, switching over to coal because the natural gas is getting too expensive.
All across America is like, start stockpiling coal.
I almost wonder, it's like I'm such a prepper, I keep thinking, should I stockpile coal?
No, I don't have a way to burn coal, so maybe I don't need to.
But I'm starting to feel like we should stockpile coal.
That's a joke, obviously.
But the power companies are stockpiling coal.
They need to stockpile coal.
So guess what's happening in the world of fossil fuels?
Suddenly everything is going back to coal.
So after all the years of Al Gore and all the global warming nonsense and the climate change scare stories and all the experiments with wind turbines and solar and everything, now what do we end up with?
A mad rush back to coal.
And all these people buying electric cars, which are coal-powered cars now, What do they say to themselves when they look in the mirror?
You know, it used to be like, I'm buying a Tesla.
I'm a good person.
I'm saving the planet.
And then, now, they look at themselves in the mirror like, my electric car is powered by coal.
You're driving a coal-powered car.
Talk about reverting back to ancient technology.
Wow.
So now we have a world reverting to being powered by coal, which, of course, has the benefit of unleashing the carbon dioxide that the world's food crops and forests desperately need to grow and thrive and survive because the CO2 levels are so low in the atmosphere, barely above 400 parts per million.
Even though, you know, the climate change lunatics, who are the same people pushing vaccine lunacy, you know, they're screaming, oh my god, it's so high!
It's never been this high!
Actually, it was over 10 times higher in Earth's history, but they don't show you that part of the chart.
It's funny how they just zoom in on the part they want you to focus on, and then it's going crazy!
Look how high!
It's not even high.
The plants are starving for CO2.
So frankly, we should be thankful to recycle the CO2 back into the atmosphere where plants can access it.
And all these climate change lunatics, it's just a bunch of jive talking.
Yeah, you know why that phrase is in my mind?
Because there was this big dust up over the weekend where Stu Peters had interviewed Vernon Jones, who's, I guess, a member of the GOP.
And there was some big disagreement about Vernon Jones and Stu was not happy with him.
And I think Stu said during the interview with Vernon that that's a bunch of jive talking.
And then Vernon said, well, that's a racist term.
And Stu was like, that's not racist.
That just means, you know, talking smack, basically.
But ever since I heard that, I've just had Bee Gees in my mind.
Jeff talking.
I don't know the rest of the words, but you remember the Bee Gees song?
Jeff talking.
And like the falsetto voice, you know, of the Bee Gees singer.
So funny to listen to all the time.
Like, you don't even know what the guy's singing.
He's like, yeah, we should be dancing.
And you're like, what is he?
Were those words?
What was the dude saying?
That was in the 70s.
Like, is that jive talking?
What is he talking about?
That's some curly-haired white dude.
What is he?
I still don't know what those words are.
So now, I can't look at Vernon Jones without hearing the Bee Gees in my head.
So I just want to thank Stu Peters for inserting that little neurological anchor into my brain.
Every time I see Vernon Jones, I just can't stop laughing because it's Bee Gees now.
That's called neurolinguistic program.
That's how it happens.
That's how they insert things into your head, inadvertently in this case.
But now I can't stop thinking about the Bee Gees.
I'm going to have to start wearing like bell-bottom polyester pants, you know?
Get myself a big curly white boy fro.
Something going like that.
You won't even recognize me when I'm done with that.
Get up.
All right, but we got to move on here.
We never get through the 1970s.
Walgreens gave, reportedly, they're being sued.
They gave so-called flu shots to two children in Indiana.
And they ended up actually giving them COVID shots that were not meant for children.
So these two children got adult doses of COVID shots.
And reportedly, they're now both suffering heart issues.
Anyway, there's a lawsuit about that.
I don't have a statement from Walgreens on this.
I don't know if they deny it or what, but you'll probably see more news about this in the coming week.
All right, we've got to move on to other news.
Taiwan.
Okay, this is funny because I've got to bring you this serious news, but I don't feel serious right now.
I just feel kind of funny.
I mean, like, laughter funny, not like the room is spinning funny.
Just, I don't know what to make of it anymore, but I am in a good mood, even though crazy stuff is happening all around us, but I just, I don't know.
Nothing can get me down, down.
It doesn't get me down.
I just, I feel like there's a mass awakening happening, you know?
This is a waking up.
I want people to be free and aware and healthy.
And I don't know, man.
I'm just looking at the bright side.
Call me an optimist, huh?
How's that for a change?
Call me an optimist.
I'm going to feel happy about the awakening that's taking place.
But Taiwan has, now, it's confirmed that Taiwan has missiles that can reach the Three Gorges Dam.
And you know there's all this conflict that's about to happen between China and Taiwan.
All this escalation because President Xi or dictator Xi of China is claiming that they have to take over Taiwan.
Well, Taiwan has now openly tested a new long-range missile that has a range of about 1,200 to 2,000 kilometers away.
The missile's name, yun feng.
Oh, yun feng.
I know that feng, feng, I'm sorry, that's what it is.
Yun feng.
Feng means wind.
So, like, dong feng is like east wind.
You know, yun feng.
I don't know what the yun is in this case.
Anyway, some kind of wind.
It's probably like fierce wind or something.
Like in Chinese, when we say that there's a big wind, we say 风很大.
It means like the wind, very big.
That's exactly what that means, literally.
So this is Yunfeng.
It was developed by the Chengshan Institute of Science and Technology.
It has a range of 1,200 to 2,000 kilometers.
Speeds of up to 1,000 meters per second.
And it has a high-explosive warhead, armor-piercing, and it can reach the Three Gorges Dam.
So essentially, you know, if you can take out the Three Gorges Dam...
You can take out the CCP. If that dam goes, the CCP goes.
Because right now, even without things getting worse, China can't feed its people.
China's having massive crop failures.
The Chinese government...
Is in such horrible shape right now, they can't keep the lights on in 21 out of, or was it 20 provinces or 21 provinces out of the 30?
They can't keep the lights on.
And now they're having the Evergrande property collapse, you know, the Ponzi scheme.
And that thing is spreading like a mad contagion.
Talk about 风很大.
It's the financial collapse, 风, that's spreading like a giant storm.
And that's getting worse and worse every single day.
I mean, that's going to be totally disastrous to the retirement savings of the average Chinese citizen because they don't have Social Security.
They don't have...
Systems like that, what they do is they invest in property, and that's their retirement.
And it's turned out to be just a giant Ponzi scheme, so that's collapsing by the day.
And then if they try to invade Taiwan, Taiwan will just launch these missiles at the dam and take out the dam, and then that's it for China.
Granted, China would retaliate viciously against Taiwan, but China's already promising to destroy Taiwan anyway.
So you've got nothing to lose.
This is kind of like the porcupine strategy.
It's like Taiwan is a porcupine rambling along the ground, minding my own business.
And it's like, don't mess with me.
You know, if you mess with me, you're going to get stuck.
But otherwise, I'm just minding my own business, waddling along in the forest.
It's like armadillos.
I see armadillos all the time.
They're really funny little creatures.
They have horrible vision.
You can just walk right up on them.
And they freeze.
They just freeze, you know?
They're really loud when they're scurrying around.
They're using their snouts to try to gather up grubs or whatever in the loose underbrush.
They're really loud.
They sound like a much larger animal.
You hear this rustling along in the leaves.
You think, like, is that a bear?
No, it's just this little 16-inch armadillo actually just making a lot of noise.
And then when you get closer, it freezes.
And then when you get really close, like where you can reach out and touch it, then it takes off screaming, taking off like, you know, at warp speed.
I would imagine porcupines are much the same way.
I haven't seen any porcupines, but I would imagine they're probably very similar.
They're kind of like, they don't worry too much about anything getting close to them because everybody knows you mess with a porcupine, you're going to get porcupine spines in your nose snout.
Pretty much the coyotes have figured that out by now.
And that's painful.
And that's the lesson that China needs to learn.
You mess with Taiwan, you're going to get spines in you, and it's going to hurt.
It's going to suck.
So whether or not the U.S. comes to defend Taiwan, by the way, it's clear that Japan is going to help aid in Taiwan's defense.
It's clear the Philippines will.
We'll have to help support Taiwan, even though their politicians are in many ways pro-China.
But even Australia is going to have to help Taiwan.
And India is going to have to help Taiwan.
Nobody wants China to be more domineering and more dangerous than they are already after they drop the bioweapons on the world.
And probably we'll have another one being dropped soon.
And everybody knows China is a bunch of bullies.
I mean, the Chinese, you know, communist government, they're bullies.
They're the worst bullies on the world stage.
If we had laws against bullying, the CCP should be outlawed.
And they do organ harvesting, and they do human trafficking and executions of political dissidents, and all those things happens routinely in China.
So, yeah, Taiwan's got the missiles.
Taiwan can hit China's capital buildings.
They can hit the dam, as I mentioned, and other strategic...
Military bases that China has and so on.
Ports.
You know what a couple of these missiles can do to a port in China?
You realize what happens if you destroy some of the export operations in China?
You shut down China's economy for...
It's like a Pearl Harbor situation.
You shut down their economy for many, many months.
Without exports, China can't function.
They don't have the cash to buy the food to feed their people, and then they're in a revolt within just a few days.
Well, not days, weeks, let's say.
Probably weeks, maybe months.
Even communism and all its authoritarianism and oppression can't stop people from rising up when they are starving to death.
And that's the scenario that's coming.
Just amazing.
All right.
In any case, I've mentioned all the strategic reasons before why Taiwan has to be defended by the U.S. and other Western allies because, of course, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, that is, I think, the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world.
And there are other reasons as well.
You know, Taiwan's geographic location, military base capabilities and things like that.
So anyway, but we do need to have the political will to defend Taiwan.
And that's why we need to correct the rigged 2020 election and get the rightful president back into office, who actually won the vote.
That would be Trump, because Trump is a friend of Taiwan, while Biden is a friend of, you know, the communist Chinese.
Not good.
All right, next story is the air traffic controller walkout in Florida.
It appears, now there are conflicting reports on this.
The UK Daily Mail covered it.
A lot of other media have covered it.
800 flights were canceled by Southwest Airlines on Saturday, and 1,000 more flights were canceled yesterday, on Sunday, because there was basically a sick-out, a massive non-compliance walkout of the, apparently, the air traffic, the Southwest, let's see, there's a pilot's union, there's a pilot walkout, and then, what is this?
There's also air traffic controllers who are walking out.
So I think there's two different groups that are affected here.
The Southwest Airline Pilots Association, they're trying to block the airline from pushing the vaccine mandate that isn't real, that Biden has been demanding.
It's like, oh, if you have a private corporation, you have over 100 employees, you have to force all your employees to be vaccinated.
Well, it's all a bluff, folks.
There is no directive.
There is no mandate.
I repeat.
It doesn't exist.
There is no mandate.
It was just Biden flapping his lips, probably behind a mask.
Might have been somebody else flapping Biden's lips, for all we know.
But there's nothing.
He said that OSHA is going to make a rule.
Well, so far, OSHA hasn't made a rule.
OSHA takes months to make a rule.
So there is no rule.
So every one of these private corporations that says there's a vaccine mandate, they are lying.
It doesn't exist except for federal employees.
There is a...
An executive order mandate for federal employees, that is government federal employees, yes, they are hit by an active mandate, but people who work for private companies and private corporations saying that we have to follow the Biden mandate, there is no mandate!
He made it up.
Doesn't exist.
And this is the reason why there's no lawsuits yet against the, quote, mandate, because you can't sue until the mandate is actually issued.
It hasn't been issued.
So there's no lawsuits.
But all these companies are just acting like there's a mandate.
This is what's so infuriating about this, as you can tell.
They're acting like there's a mandate.
They're just pretending.
All these corporations and these unions, the pilots union and the Southwest Airlines and how many other major companies and, you know, healthcare groups and everything.
Well, there's a mandate.
We have to follow it.
We got to get you 100% vaccine.
There is no mandate, you fool.
Show me the mandate.
They can't.
It doesn't exist.
This is what's incredible is how much Biden and the media are just gaslighting all of Americans.
Massive gaslighting.
I still run into people who think the FDA has approved the Pfizer vaccine.
People who consider themselves to be informed.
And I say, the Pfizer vaccine has never been approved.
The only one approved is Comirnaty, which isn't available in the United States.
And they say, well, the media said that the media lies.
The media has been gaslighting.
All this stuff.
There is no mandate.
Just because Biden said there's one doesn't make it real.
And the reason there's no mandate is because, I think, they know they can't get away with it because it's blatantly unconstitutional.
The minute they publish it, it'll be struck down by a judge within 24 hours.
So how much do you want to bet?
They're not even going to try to publish it.
They're just going to try to gaslight their way through this whole thing and claim there's a mandate and everybody has to follow the mandate.
And you're like, show me the mandate.
They're like, we don't have to show you the mandate.
What are you, anti-science?
You know, that kind of thing.
It's unbelievable.
But anyway, so 1,800 flights canceled over the weekend from Southwest Airlines.
And somehow they're blaming the weather, which this doesn't make any sense to me, because how come all the other airlines weren't canceling all these flights?
I'm pretty sure weather applies to all the airlines at the same time.
Not just like, oh, bad rain for Southwest, but clear skies for Delta.
Pretty sure that doesn't happen.
The Epoch Times is reporting on this too.
Oh yeah, here it is.
The Southwest CEO Gary Kelly announcing, quote, Southwest Airlines must join our industry peers in complying with the federal government's COVID-19 vaccination directive.
He's making it up.
There is no COVID-19 vaccination directive applying to private corporations.
Doesn't exist.
You're lying, Gary Kelly.
You are lying.
And I can't wait for your employees to sue you.
So yeah, the pilots are walking out.
The air traffic controllers are walking out.
I don't know who else is walking out.
Probably the flight attendants are going to be walking out.
You know, the nurses, the doctors in the hospitals, some of them, walking out.
This is the answer, folks.
Mass civil disobedience, noncompliance.
This is the answer.
This is the only way to stand up against this tyranny, is to say, we will not comply.
And now, by the way, also then the Epoch Times covered the rolling blackouts being anticipated across America, and they also quoted Ernie Thrasher, the head of ex-coal energy and resources, who basically states that there's not enough coal coming in to meet demand.
Not enough natural gas in Europe and Asia.
And the supply chain, quote, the supply chain is stretched beyond its limits, said Thrasher.
It's going to be a challenging winter for us here in the United States.
Yeah, that's code word for it's going to be a blackout, rolling blackouts.
We're going to have supply problems with the coal.
So, I mean, people are starting to come to their senses about this because they're seeing Lebanon went dark.
India's got the blackouts.
China's got blackouts.
Europe is rolling into insane energy prices.
They're going to have rolling blackouts.
And folks, it's only October here.
We're not even into, it's not even Halloween.
The cold season hasn't even begun.
And they can already see that the supply chain just isn't there.
So unless, magically, all of the COVID communists like Biden and the globalist controllers, you know, Soros and Gates and others, unless they magically say, oh, we were joking.
There is no pandemic.
Let's let everybody return to work.
Unless that happens immediately, this winter is already baked in.
The rolling blackouts are already in.
You can't stop it now.
We're going to go through this.
It's going to be bad.
Oh, I'm going to get to that.
Lebanon and India.
But first, I forgot to bring in today's sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store.
You can go to their website, sat123.com.
I was talking with a family member of mine over the weekend on the sat phone because there was a major backhaul bandwidth outage of AT&T affecting a big portion of Texas, and the cell phone traffic did not work.
So, right there.
I mean, I experienced an outage just yesterday.
Yeah, I mean, the cell tower was still functioning, but I couldn't make a call outside of the state of Texas, at least on certain routes, because it was as if the bandwidth was being disrupted on the cell phone call.
And then we checked down detector, you know, and there was a massive outage of the AT&T backhaul lines that affects bandwidth and major providers all throughout, you know, northern and central Texas.
So there you go.
Satellite phone to the rescue already kicked in.
You can get a satellite phone for free, essentially, when you sign up for the monthly plan.
It's a certain number of minutes per month.
It's like $99 a month, I think, currently.
And the minutes roll over if you don't use them, and they'll send you the phone.
Check it out at sat123.com.
You're going to want one of these when the grid does not function.
And that seems to be right around the corner.
All right, now, retail shelves.
I mentioned this earlier, but here's more detail.
The UK Daily Mail covered this.
Retail shelves at CVS, Walgreens, and Duane Reade stores are now, quote, virtually bare in New York City.
Quote, shelves in pharmacies across New York City have been left nearly barren because supplies are not getting through amid an ongoing global squeeze.
That means a supply chain collapse.
They're just calling it.
It's a squeeze.
No, it's a collapse.
Actually, this is what a collapse looks like.
Virtually bare.
So you know how in the past couple of months you've heard reports.
Maybe you've been reading allnewspipeline.com.
It's a great website.
Or you've been maybe listening to Brad Harris, Full Spectrum Survival.
Or let's see who's...
Oh, The Organic Prepper.
That's another good website.
They've been warning about sort of supply line gaps and shelves that are partially bare.
And I know Brad Harris has talked about this, where people would go to the grocery stores and then sort of the products that they wanted were missing, but the shelves weren't bare.
It's just that the grocery store owner would expand products that they had to fill more space.
Like, there's a whole row of bottled water.
You know?
Why is there all this bread here?
The cereal boxes have taken over half of aisle 7.
It's because the rest of the stuff is gone.
But they don't want you to see the empty shelves because, you know, it looks like Venezuela.
And nobody wants to walk into a grocery store and feel like, I've just been teleported to a third world country.
You know, people want to have this feeling that everything's in stock.
Everything's abundant.
Oh, it's overflowing with oranges and apples and amazing selections of fresh fruits and veggies.
But it's actually, it's not.
It's running out.
And the shelves are increasingly empty.
Well, in this article, this is the first article I've seen this year where they said the shelves are, quote, virtually bare.
That kind of paints a very detailed picture.
Imagine empty shelves with a couple of little boxes on them here and there.
That's it.
Quote, So what does Biden do?
What do the Democrats do?
Print more money.
That's their answer to everything.
So obviously here's the problem.
You can hand out stimulus checks all day.
Doesn't make the shelves full of products again, does it?
It's not like a magic wand.
Like Shazam.
Oh, guess what?
A full supply of razors and condoms once again at CVS.
It's all great.
No, none of that happens.
You get stimulus money and the shelves are still bare.
So then you have more money chasing, you know, fewer goods.
And then you have price inflation.
and scarcity.
This is exactly what's happening.
It's classic, classic people.
This is Ludwig von Mises stuff going back decades ago.
Generations even.
Mises.org.
Mises has been writing about this forever.
I mean, the original Mises wrote about it, and then his advocates have continued that for many, many years.
When you print fake fiat currency, just chasing this limited supply of goods, this is what happens.
You get a collapse of the value of the dollar, which is a form of theft from the working class.
And then you also get price inflation in the goods that are still remaining.
And you also get scarcity because when people have the money, the stimulus money, and they see something that's in stock, they buy it immediately.
Because they know in their own minds, hey, this money is going to be worth less tomorrow because of inflation.
Therefore, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of people saying, buy everything in sight.
Spend the money as quickly as possible.
Convert this money into stuff I need.
Anything you're going to use in the next year or two, you might as well buy it now because the dollars are only going to lose value over time.
And the goods are only going to become more expensive over time.
Therefore, any reasonable, rational person would buy everything now.
And then the media condemns them.
You're panic buying.
No, we're not.
We're panic selling dollars.
We're panic selling.
We're trading dollars for stuff that's actually going to hold value.
We're panic dumping dollars.
And it's not even a panic.
It's totally rational.
It's like I've said before, you know, a panic would be running around like freaking out about buying things you don't need.
I'm missing fly swatters all of a sudden again.
I mean, fly swatters.
Honey, you have 75 fly swatters.
How many?
I need more fly swatters.
That's panic buying.
But if you're running around like, we could use some bread.
We're going to eat bread in the next 90 days.
Why don't we get 90 days worth of bread?
While the supply exists.
That's not a panic.
That's entirely rational.
That is so rational.
All I have to say is, let's go, Brandon.
Let's go.
Let's go, Brandon.
Let's go.
That's become my favorite chant.
Let's go, Brandon.
Let's go, Brandon.
All right, and by the way, in Lessons of Cause and Effect, I want you to read this, or I'm going to read for you the Sky News report over the weekend about the power grid of Lebanon just going down.
Like, welcome to Lebanon!
And then, no lights!
You know, it's over.
Here's from the story.
The Al-Zahrani and the Der Amar power stations stopped working after supplies of diesel were apparently exhausted.
And energy production dropped below 200 megawatts.
Okay, so this is a lesson in cause and effect that seemingly no one on the left has ever encountered before.
When the diesel is exhausted, the power plants stop operating, and the megawatts plunge until the power grid is gone.
Chain of events.
Chain reaction.
You run out of fuel, you get no power, the lights don't function.
I think this is an amazing moment, frankly, for a re-education of humanity.
Because remember, we live in a world where the school system says that men can get pregnant, and that 2 plus 2 is 5, and it doesn't matter to get the right answer, you just have to learn how to play the victim.
And that's how you're going to pass your classes and play the victim.
But you don't have to understand mathematics or science or anything real.
You just fake all your science and call it science.
It's science.
I believe in science.
But in reality, when you run out of diesel, the power station stops functioning.
When you run out of coal, the coal plants stop functioning.
Now, I know for you listening to this, you're like, of course, we know this, Mike.
We know this.
But I'm telling you, most of the world does not know this.
Oh, and by the way, I got the emails with all your dreams and the impressions and things that we talked about a week ago or so.
I'm going to cover that shortly.
I've got to say, some of you folks have some freaky dreams.
No, I'm serious.
But I've noticed a pattern.
A lot of you are having nightmares about China, war with China.
Freaky China dreams.
So I am going through those.
There's a lot.
I do want to thank you for sending those in.
I'm not trying to tease you.
There is a pattern, and I'm going to cover that this week, okay?
So thank you for taking the time to email that.
There's some freaky stuff in there.
I hope y'all aren't right about what you sent me in your dreams.
That's all I'm saying.
Because I was having a good evening, you know, until I started reviewing your dreams.
Or maybe they were nightmares.
I don't know.
And it's like, ah, I hope that doesn't happen.
But getting back to the coal.
So, you know, here we are in this world where we have this entire class of, you know, the culture, the left-wing culture that denies reality.
They deny biological reality.
You know, they're the ones who say that men have a cervix and that if you're an OBGYN doctor working in a hospital and a man walks in and says, you know, I need a gynecologist examination.
Because I self-identify as a woman.
Then you, as the OBGYN doctor, you have to pretend that this person has a vagina while you're...
You've got to pretend.
Oh, yeah, it's all good.
I mean, like, we've entered this society of so much fakery.
Everybody has to fake their way through the political correctness and through the compliance.
Oh, yeah, your vagina is all fully functioning.
It's great.
It all checks out.
Thank you, sir.
I mean, ma'am, please come back and visit us again.
We are at your cervix.
Thank you so much.
And, I mean, it's insane.
It's obviously insane.
But when the coal runs out, the hospitals will have no lights.
Maybe that'll make the job easier for handling the transgenders.
It's like, the OBGYN doctor would be like, Sir, it's dark in here.
It's ma'am.
Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am.
It's dark in here.
What do you need?
I need an OBGYN examination.
Thank God it's dark.
Thank God the lights are out.
I might be able to work my way through this with you.
Please, Lord, dim the power grid one more time so that this ma'am can be reconciled with an observational reality that only can be acquired through dimness or whatever.
I don't know if hospital people pray like that, but they should these days.
How much you want to bet they'll have the power grid failing just in time for all the mail-in ballots for the midterm elections, huh?
Well, the lights are off.
It's an emergency.
Therefore, we have to suspend all signature checking.
That's right.
Everybody, just drop off your ballots at the nearest stuffing box.
I mean, ballot box.
And we'll count them by machine over and over again until we get the numbers we need.
How much do you want to bet?
They're going to have some massive nationwide crisis, you know, just in time.
You'll probably start feeling it hard next summer, and then they'll change all the laws, suspend all the rules, and then it's just, you know, It's a free-for-all massive ballot printing exercise just like 2020.
You think they're going to let the American people actually vote after this two years of hell that people have gone through?
The Democrats are going to get blown out of the water, politically speaking, if a vote actually takes place.
You know how angry the average American is at this point?
With food prices through the roof, supply lines cratering, and then you add rolling blackouts to that across this winter, people freezing, and they can't get their CVS pharmacy items.
I mean, it's going to be...
By the time next November rolls around, the average American is going to be like, can we vote...
Twice.
Start pretending to be Democrats.
How many times can we vote against the Democrats, please?
Please.
Personally, I'm only voting once, but I've only ever only voted once.
Nevertheless, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of desperate people saying, boy, we've got to flip this thing back around.
But this might be one of those years where you might be tempted to walk into the voting center with your buddy in tow.
Who's your buddy?
Oh, it's your inflatable Mark Zuckerberg blow-up doll.
He can vote, too.
No, I'm sorry.
I had to bring it back in.
I still think somebody should invent that.
That might be a trademark violation there, but that's only if the original Mark is human.
So, you know, you're just copying a cyborg.
Maybe you can get away with that.
Inflatable Mark Zuckerberg blow-up doll.
Thousands of uses, including voting.
Okay, before I get too out of control here, 25% of firefighters may quit in Los Angeles.
There's a massive lawsuit that has been filed there, a $1.7 billion lawsuit over the vaccine mandates, but I think about 25% of the firefighters' workforce there is about to quit.
Now, remember what I said about ambulance drivers, EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters, and also some police officers.
You know why they reject vaccines more than most?
Because they've seen the vaccine-injured victims.
They've seen them firsthand.
Firefighters have seen them.
Paramedics have seen them.
Police officers walk in on somebody, some kind of emergency report, and somebody's convulsing, you know, got the vaccine, and now they can't control their muscles.
Everything's going wrong.
They've seen what happens.
So, of course, the firefighters are like, you can't make us take the vaccine.
That's insane.
We got to have blood flow that works because, you know, we're firefighters.
That's why we spend half our days pumping iron in the fire station in case we have to carry something heavy out of the building like one of you people.
That's the firefighters talking to the bureaucrats, you know, the city council members.
What if we have to carry you out the building?
You haven't been on a diet.
You've been living on Pop-Tarts, city council member.
We have to carry you.
We better be strong.
So firefighters need to have blood that works.
Plus, they wear about 80 pounds of gear.
Oxygen tanks, you know, hatchets and such, masks, the helmets are heavy.
Have you ever worn one of those helmets?
Just the helmet's like eight pounds.
It's no joke.
It's a lot of equipment.
They need to be able to function.
You start mass vaccinating all the firefighters, you're going to have drop-off death problems over the coming months.
You're going to lose a lot of your firefighting force, which is already going to happen, by the way, because many of them have taken it.
But You're going to lose firefighters, you're going to lose police, you're going to lose, you know, ambulance drivers, and of course the nurses and healthcare workers.
That's already baked in.
But at least right now that 25% of the firefighters are holding out, we should protect them.
Those might be the only firefighters left who can actually fight fires.
Not that Los Angeles is a kind of city where there's any rational rule of law anyway.
Half the time I think that even the people who run LA would just rather burn the whole thing down because of how embarrassing the situation has become there for their policy failures.
Remember how I said a couple months ago that If you were filming a dystopian sci-fi future collapse of the United States, you could save a fortune.
You just drive up to any underpass in Los Angeles and start filming.
Like, that's your set.
Here we are.
We're in the post-apocalyptic collapse future after humanity has died off, and it actually looks like that.
Welcome to L.A. But it can't help if they start killing off all their first responders.
Then it's only sure to accelerate the demise of the whole system.
Again, maybe that's what they want.
I don't know.
All right, there's been a canned beef recall that a bunch of canned beef products contain lead.
Why am I not surprised?
This was on kink5.com.
Here it is.
Recall alert.
These brands of canned beef with gravy sold nationwide may have unsafe levels of lead.
Alright, check this out, folks.
525,000 pounds of canned beef products that were sold nationwide are being recalled because they may contain unsafe levels of lead.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday.
Alright, Crider Foods of Georgia issued the recall.
The lead has been connected to a spice mix from an outside supplier.
Now, Two possibilities here, folks.
Number one, how many times have I warned you about spices containing lead?
Every time that we've tested off-the-shelf spices, such as turmeric or curry spices, or even just off-the-shelf regular pepper, things like that, paprika, it's all got lead in it, folks.
It's very high lead.
That's why we go through such trouble to test everything for lead.
And mercury and arsenic and cadmium and E. coli and everything else.
And that's why we end up rejecting 80% of the lots that we test.
One of the hardest things for us to get is turmeric that's not contaminated with lead.
Seriously.
It's also true with ginger.
Powdered ginger.
If you go into an average, let's say, a Pakistani spice store...
Which I love, by the way.
I love the Middle East spices.
I really do.
I love it.
I mean, I love all the Middle East flavors and everything.
So I'm not putting down Middle Eastern spices.
I think that's awesome cuisine.
But those spices tend to be crazy high in lead.
And most of them are grown in China, by the way, where there's massive lead contamination everywhere.
You know, from all the factories dumping everything into the water.
And then the water is used to irrigate.
You know, the turmeric plants or what have you.
The ginger plants.
So there's a lot of lead in the spices.
I've known this for years.
Been trying to sound the alarm on this for a long time.
So right now, if you go out and try to buy a Hargis House roast beef and gravy, or Clover Valley fully cooked roast beef with gravy, or Kroger roast beef with gravy, Are you starting to see the picture here?
These are all made by the same company.
Hostess roast beef with gravy.
Laura Lynn roast beef with gravy.
Armor roast beef with gravy.
Harvest Creek roast beef with gravy.
According to the USDA, it's all contaminated with lead or maybe.
And then the CDC says lead, you know, may cause weakness and kidney damage and brain damage and so on.
But notice they don't say anything about the spike protein in the vaccine.
So this is crazy relative to that on a given day.
They're like, don't eat the Kroger roast beef with gravy.
You might get, you know, 20 micrograms of lead.
Instead, you should go take a vaccine and get 50 billion toxic spike protein nanoparticles that will eat your brain.
That's kind of modern-day health advice.
You know, it's okay to inject yourself with prion-like regions, but don't eat the roast beef with gravy.
Now, the other possibility in all of this That's a lot of roast beef gravy.
525,000 pounds.
The other possibility is what I mentioned up front.
How do we know this isn't the government stepping in and saying, hey, we could use 525,000 pounds of roast beef gravy in cans.
So why don't you ship it to us?
Here's the address of the entrance to our underground city.
And then you can issue a recall.
And we'll just buy it off of you.
How about that?
Could that be what's going on here?
Believe me, people have been eating this stuff.
People have been eating lead in these spices forever.
People eat cancer in bacon with the sodium nitrite.
That's way more dangerous than probably anything in this roast beef and gravy.
But suddenly this is the worst thing possible.
Oh, and then by the way, if you go to an old school dentist, he's perfectly happy to install toxic mercury into your mouth.
Yeah.
So, you know, just in case you're avoiding the roast beef with gravy, because you didn't want heavy metals in your body, and then you're chewing on mercury.
Yeah, that's genius level right there.
But that's modern dentistry for you.
Mercury's okay.
Just don't eat roast beef with gravy.
Okay, Iceland has joined the Scandinavian ban on the Moderna vaccine, except I think Iceland has completely banned the vaccine, not just for people under 30 or people under 18, as other countries had.
What, Finland and I forgot all the countries, Norway.
Another interesting story is that there's a claim now that between 100 and 200 members of Congress and their families and staffers have been treated with ivermectin.
This is according to Dr.
Pierre Kory, K-O-R-Y, who states that this claim comes from a highly credible source inside Congress, basically saying that members of Congress are being treated with ivermectin even though they enforce the vaccine mandates and push everybody else in the country to get vaccinated, while you know Congress is immune to the vaccine mandate, right?
You know that.
Well, The non-existent vaccine mandate, as we've covered.
But Congress is under no obligation to get vaccinated.
And they're getting treated with ivermectin, according to Dr.
Corey, while they let the rest of the country just die from spike protein.
You know, let them eat cake, is what that comes down to.
So why are we not surprised?
Why are we not surprised?
Okay, did I tell you that I called the Winco generator company?
On Friday, and I was checking to see about their generators, because the rolling blackouts are coming in the United States and around the world.
And these are the really high-end generators that run off the back of a large tractor.
And I've owned these over the years, and I think they're great.
And this is not like a sponsorship plug or anything like that.
This is just a company whose products, I think, are great.
Winco, W-I-N-C-O. But nevertheless, you can't get their stuff until 2022 because I went in and tried to see about ordering, what was it, a 50-kilowatt PTO generator as a backup.
And they said, yep, it's going to ship in January, so we'll put you on the list.
Like, well, the rolling blackouts might happen before January.
Like, we know.
But we can't ship till January.
And probably by the time January rolls around, what are they going to say?
We can ship, you know, in March or April.
Why?
Because there have been blackouts.
Yeah.
But you're in the generator business.
So, I mean, who knows?
I'm just imagining that that might happen.
Who knows?
The company's great.
WinCo is great.
Their products are awesome.
And I have run my ranch off of their generators from time to time.
As long as your tractor starts, you'll be able to do it.
I did have the one deep freeze where my tractor didn't start, and then that's why I didn't have power.
That was my problem for not having a good enough battery in that tractor.
Nevertheless, you can get your tractor to start.
This generator will give you power for as long as you can feed diesel into that tractor.
Which brings us back to the whole problem of diesel running out of supply in Lebanon.
If you run out of fuel, obviously you have no power.
But you'd be amazed how much electricity you can generate from a little bit of diesel.
I mean, just a gallon of diesel can go for a couple of hours, depending on the load that you have on the generator.
Because, you know, the more load you have on a generator, the more resistance it has.
And then it causes the tractor to burn more fuel to compensate for that resistance to maintain the RPMs of the PTO. Am I getting too geeky?
It needs to maintain 540 RPMs.
And so the tractor does that automatically.
It just burns more fuel if you're using more power because power creates resistance in generators, you know, physics.
So anyway, I'm not going to break this down into a physics lesson, but that's just how it all works.
Anyway, a couple gallons of diesel, it might go many hours just depending on your load.
So it's a great system and it's better than waiting on solar panels, let me tell you.
And you can even...
You can store diesel in 50 gallon drums or 55 gallon drums if you're safe about it.
Do it safely and keep it legal.
But diesel is very hard to burn compared to gasoline.
I would not store gasoline in 55 gallon drums because that's like making a gas bomb.
But diesel...
Diesel has a very high flashpoint.
In fact, don't try this, but if you actually poured diesel into a, let's say, a coffee cup, And then you lit a match or like a lighter on top of the coffee cup.
Did you know that that diesel does not ignite just like that?
Again, don't try that.
I'm not encouraging you to try that.
But diesel doesn't just burn like that.
Diesel engines have to create an aerosolized diesel-air mixture that is a combustible...
Well, mixture, I guess, is the best term.
And then it has to be compressed, and then it has to be ignited.
And even then, it doesn't really burn the same way as gasoline.
But anyway, storing diesel, you can store them in 55-gallon drums.
I like the poly drums, you know, the blue ones.
And then you can buy these manual rotary pumps.
I forgot the brand name that's good, but...
They're red.
You can get them on Amazon or like Northern Tool or wherever.
And just every 10 rotations brings up a gallon of diesel.
And you can power yourself through blackouts with those generators.
But unfortunately, they're not available until January at this point.
But that's an indication of how many people are buying these things.
Because like I said a couple days ago, if you don't have a generator right now, You may not be able to get one through this entire winter, not until spring.
But if you have a chance to get a generator, I suggest you pick one up.
Even a small gas generator, pick it up.
Pick it up because you might come to a day in January, you know, where you...
There's no power grid, and you need to charge a cell phone or a laptop or your night vision batteries or whatever, and you're going to wish you had a generator for that, for sure.
Okay, let me share something with you here.
I'm almost done today, but I was doing some rifle training over the weekend and had a failure, a glitch, that had never happened to me before, so I want to share it with you.
You know in an AR-15 there's a bolt carrier group, and it's called the BCG, and the BCG It has, of course, a firing pin in it, and the firing pin has a retention pin that goes in the side of the BCG. Well, I had a very interesting and unusual failure.
I'm glad that I now know what happened.
But I had cleaned the entire upper...
Of my rifle, and I had cleaned the BCG with one of these sonicators with the cleaning solution that I mix up myself.
It's basically a bunch of brake fluid, some acetone, and some tiki torch fuel.
Yeah, obviously, vapors can be dangerous, follow all safety precautions, and so on and so forth.
Why are we talking about so much stuff that blows up today?
That's crazy.
I'm just talking about cleaning parts here.
With a sonicator, okay?
So what happened is I cleaned the BCG and I pulled it out of there wearing a latex glove, you know, and I wiped off the BCG and I reinstalled it back in the rifle.
Well, the retaining pin that goes into the side of the BCG that holds the firing pin, that pin had fallen out unbeknownst to moi.
And then when we tried to shoot that rifle, It did not function.
And the firing pin got all jammed up in there because it fell out of where it's supposed to be.
And I had to stomp on the charging handle just to get the BCG to move so I could open up the rifle and pull it out of there.
Basically, it ruined the firing pin.
And I had to replace the pin in the side of the BCG. But most importantly, that rifle was non-functional.
Fortunately, I just cleaned it and I was going out to sight it back in after the cleaning just to make sure that it's still working.
You know, I like to make sure...
When I take rifles apart and put them back together, I like to shoot them.
Make sure that everything's still functional for precisely this kind of reason.
But if you use a sonication cleaning...
Oh, and the other thing I forgot to mention is this was one of those nickel boron bolt carrier groups.
You know, it's kind of like the slick Teflon kind of thing.
And I think the slickness of it also allowed that pin to slide out of the side of it.
And so those pins can be easily replaced.
And even the firing pins, you can buy them for, you know, three bucks.
It's not like it was an expensive problem.
But if you don't know, if you think your rifle works and it doesn't work, you know, you could be in a world of hurt in the wrong situation.
That's why you always have a backup rifle.
And then other backups, you know, pistols and such.
But I'm happy to report that after I got this problem diagnosed, I just grabbed another bolt carrier group out of another rifle that I had there, a.300 Blackout, and I just slapped that BCG in my regular AR, and then we were able to shoot with that one for the rest of the session.
So it's fine.
But anyway, just sharing that with you.
Watch that pin.
And finally, coming up this week, I want you to watch for more news about bare shelves.
Food supply chain failures, energy problems around the world.
Look at coal prices going up.
Look at natural gas prices and look at diesel prices.
All of this is painting a very clear picture of a very dark winter of food scarcity and energy scarcity combined with spike protein assaults on humanity and so on.
So it's going to take a lot to get through this.
Be sure to listen to my preparedness pop quiz from three or four days ago.
Make sure you're good on all those 10 areas.
Most people were.
I got a lot of great feedback on that.
People are mostly prepared.
Don't forget to grow your food.
Don't forget to stockpile water into storage containers.
You're going to need a lot of stored water when the tap stops working.
So there you go.
That's my advice for today.
And also, if it's of interest to you, check out our sponsor today, satellite phone store, sat123.com.
They've got some, I don't know how many they have left at this point of the phones, but if they've got some, it's a great solution to have.
They're going to be out of stock soon.
Everybody is.
All right, and then thank you for listening, and bless you.
Oh, one final thing.
Sorry, one last note I forgot to mention.
The church leaders out there, I think that the church leaders have a responsibility to tell their flocks, congregations, to prepare.
This is my opinion, but I think that any church leader who is responsible should be aware of the food scarcity and the energy scarcity and supply lines breaking down the ships off the ports.
You know, all of this is happening.
It's an undeniable picture at this point.
I think that it's the responsible thing to do to tell your people to be prepared.
Now, fortunately for Mormons out there, I think this message has been part of the Mormon faith for, well, forever, I guess.
So a lot of Mormon folks are already very well prepared, but some of the other...
You know, various Christian groups and so on are not necessarily into preparedness.
And it's time to get up to speed on this.
If you're not a prepper, how are you going to do God's work in this world?
You know, if you're starving to death, you can't really serve God's purpose that He has in mind for you.
So, folks...
If you're a pastor listening to this, or if you're a member of a church, think about urging your pastor to spread a message of sensible preparedness.
It's not like, oh, it's all coming down tomorrow.
No, you don't have to say that.
But it sure is a good idea to have some extra preparation.
Food and water and emergency medicine and communications devices and so on and so forth.
Self-reliance is really a form of godliness.
I can't quote specific scripture or anything about this, but I mean, it's a fundamental principle of getting right with God is taking care of your family and your community and being an adult.
And part of being an adult is being self-reliant where you don't rely on everybody else to rescue you from just some small supply chain disruption or a big one that you can handle things because you have planned for the world to throw unexpected events your way.
And if there's anybody out there who after living through 2020 and the great toilet paper outage of 2020, if there's anybody who's not yet a prepper, I don't know what's wrong with your brain.
How can you not be a prepper?
Seriously.
How can you not realize this world has unexpected twists and turns that are coming your way?
How can you not know that?
So my opinion is everybody should be a prepper.
And if everybody were a prepper, then...
Things would be so much better.
People wouldn't panic when things go wrong because they have the preps.
So there's a lot to be said for not panicking and having people be prepared for the unexpected.
So it's astonishing that the media runs around telling people, oh, it's bad to be a prepper.
You don't need stuff.
Really?
Well, actually, people do consume a lot of stuff and everybody needs food and they need shelter and heat and water and other, you know, self-defense and so on.
People do need that stuff, actually.
So the media, you're lying.
But be ready, folks.
Watch for all the news breaking this week.
I think it's going to be a very action-packed week in terms of major announcements.
So I will be back with you in 24 hours or so, assuming the power grid functions.
I'll be back with you.
And in the meantime, thank you for your support and your prayers.
And I'm going to send prayers your way as well.
Blessings to you.
And let's stay together.
Let's stay on track.
Let's stay prepared.
We can get through this together.
It's going to be rough, but we can make it.
All right.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Thanks for listening.
