Time Text
Welcome to the Situation Update for Friday, October 22nd, 2021.
This is Mike Adams here.
This is going to be a very weird, strange Situation Update, at least the start of it, because we're going to cover something we normally never cover.
I don't cover celebrities that much and Hollywood and movies and all that, but Late last night, it was reported, widespread reports in the media, that Alec Baldwin, you know, the actor, the leftist anti-gun actor, shot and killed the cinematographer, a woman, working on his film, and also managed to injure but not kill the director named Joel Souza.
Now, the mainstream media is claiming this was an accident, and perhaps it was.
I guess we'll see.
But the media is also already covering for Alec Baldwin by claiming that it was a prop gun.
A prop gun.
This is from the UK Daily Mail.
Oh, a prop gun.
Alec Baldwin accidentally shoots and kills a cinematographer with a prop gun and wounds the film's director in a, quote, tragic mishap.
On the New Mexico set of his new Western movie called Rust.
Now, right away, there should be major alarm bells going off in your head of red flags.
Well, for obvious reasons.
We'll get into it.
But the UK Daily Mail says that Baldwin was confirmed as the individual who fired the, quote, prop gun.
And get this.
They go on to explain, which somehow unintentionally launched a projectile or projectiles at the crew members.
Said a statement from the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office.
Okay.
So first of all, what's the definition of a gun?
Definition of a gun is a device that is real in the physical world.
A device that accelerates a projectile down a barrel after the trigger is pulled.
Now, is that what Alec Baldwin had in his hand?
Yes!
Yes!
Obviously, he had a real gun.
It was a real gun.
It was real.
It was in his hands.
He pulled the trigger.
There was an accelerant, gunpowder, most likely.
There was a projectile that was accelerated down the barrel with sufficient force, obviously, to kill someone.
In this case, killed Halina Hutchins, a woman, 42 years old, I believe.
I don't know.
Her first name is difficult to pronounce.
I don't mean any disrespect.
I just don't know how to say it.
Halina Hutchins.
She was killed.
So did Alec Baldwin shoot and kill the cinematographer with a real gun?
And the answer is, yes, it was a real gun.
It obviously really functioned, didn't it?
So when the media, they're trying to cover for Alec, and it's always a prop gun.
They want you to think that it's a fake gun, you know, like a water gun or something, like a non-functional gun.
No, obviously this gun was functional, and that makes it real.
And if you don't believe me, Take this same gun and try to sneak it through airport security or something.
Obviously, I'm joking.
Don't actually do that.
But if you were to try to sneak it through the TSA and you got caught, believe me, you'd be charged with a felony.
You couldn't just say, oh, no, no, no, no.
It's a prop gun.
This is the gun that Alec Baldwin used to shoot and kill someone.
It's a prop gun.
You should let me on the airplane.
They're going to say, no, no, no.
This is a real gun.
Look, it works.
You pull the trigger.
It's got a firing pin of some kind or a hammer.
It launches a projectile down the barrel.
That's a real gun!
So, I find it astonishing that the media is already covering for Alec Baldwin just trying to excuse him.
It's a prop gun.
Doesn't sound like a prop, does it?
And then secondly, They're trying to imply that this was on the set of a movie.
Now, let me ask you a question.
If the actor, Alec, is on the movie set and they're rolling, they're filming, why would he be aiming the gun and shooting at the director of photography and the film director?
Those people are off-camera!
In a normal movie, or any movie, they're shooting other on-screen actors, right?
In a Western, they're shooting at each other.
It's a gunfight, you know, at the OK Corral or whatever.
They're shooting each other.
They're not shooting the woman behind the camera.
They're not shooting the director who's sitting in the director's chair, you know, behind the camera or what have you.
You know what this sounds like to me, folks?
And granted, this is a guesstimate at the moment, but this is the only thing that makes sense.
Sounds to me like Alec Baldwin was playing around with a real gun, off camera, pointing it at people, and pulling the trigger.
And how much you want to bet it was a revolver.
So this is my guess, and I'm not saying that he did this intentionally.
I'm not ascribing that to Alec.
I don't think he would shoot these people intentionally.
So from his mind, it was an accident.
But accidents happen when people don't know how to handle guns, and they don't know the four rules of gun safety, which obviously Alec doesn't know or refused to abide by.
We'll go over those four rules here.
But one of the rules, by the way, is you don't point the gun at people unless you want to kill them.
Actually, that's rule two.
Rule one is you always assume guns are loaded.
So how much you want to bet that he had a revolver, you know, like a six-shooter for the old Western, and he was probably, this is my guess, he was probably off-camera, playing around, you know, doing a little gunslinging, you know, bangity-bang-bang, and it went like click-click for a couple of empty cylinders, you know, in the six-shooter.
It went like click-click, bang-bang, and those two bangs were the director and the director of photography right there.
Because...
What it sounds like to me, what it sounds like is being reported here is that Alec Baldwin engaged in a mass shooting.
He shot more than one person.
How is that even possible with a, quote, prop gun?
He shot and killed one person, so obviously...
There's quite a bit of force behind the projectile, and then he injured, it seems like seriously injured, a second person who was reported as being, quote, expected to survive.
That doesn't sound like a high-confidence thing.
So the four rules of gun safety are, number one, you always assume the guns are loaded.
And number two, you never point guns at people unless you intend to shoot them.
Number three, you always keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to actually shoot somebody.
And then number four, you always know what's behind your target because bullets travel.
They go far.
Especially if you have a little elevation in your angle of attack there.
You know, they can go, ooh, thousands of meters in some cases.
Not necessarily handgun rounds, but rifle rounds.
In any case, Alec Baldwin apparently ignored the three out of four of those rules.
You know, behind the scenes, probably a click, click, click, click, bang!
Oh, what happened?
Bang, another one!
Dude, uh...
This is the problem with Hollywood anti-gun lunatics is they don't know anything about guns.
They don't know anything about gun safety.
Their movies depict guns in the most absurd ways.
Like if someone gets shot with a gun, they fly across the room in the air.
You know, that never happens.
That's all just Hollywood BS physics.
And I guess now Alec Baldwin knows that because he just shot and killed somebody, and I don't think she flew across the room.
Probably, well, I don't want to get graphic, I mean, out of respect for her, but what they show in the movies is not what really happens.
It's very different.
But this is the problem with anti-gun lunatics.
And these Hollywood liberals, they want to have all the action of guns.
And they want the sizzle on the screen of the guns, you know, because guns are cool.
So they want the audience to see them shooting guns.
And Alec Baldwin, obviously, he's probably shooting a bunch of people in this movie because, you know, he's supposed to be a big shot shooter.
But they don't want to actually train with gun safety, obviously.
They don't know anything about the reality of guns.
And if they did, they would know that even on a movie set, you don't have to actually point the guns directly at the other person and pull the trigger.
I don't think I could even do that.
Even if somebody told me this is a prop gun, I could not point it at another actor and pull the trigger because it goes against all my training and And I've undergone thousands of hours of gun training and drills and practice.
I don't think I could point a gun at somebody and pull the trigger as part of an act.
It violates my neurology to do that.
I would have to shoot off to the side.
Even if it's a prop or a movie or whatever, I would have to point away just in case it was actually loaded, you see.
But I guess Alec Baldwin, well, I guess to his credit, he actually might be a good shot from a technical point of view, although I know he didn't intend to do this.
I'm not saying he did.
But he apparently put some rounds downrange into, sadly, an innocent victim here.
I'm wondering, why didn't Alec Baldwin feel the recoil?
Because, you know, normally when these so-called prop guns, when they're firing blanks, you can even see this in the movies, they have no recoil.
They don't jump in people's hands.
You can see there's no vertical kick.
And almost everybody in Hollywood holds the guns incorrectly anyway.
None of them know how to hold the proper grip.
It's so hilarious.
They try to cup a Glock like a teapot, you know, with their offhand underneath the magazine, you know?
It's like, really?
And the only reason those guns don't jump is because they're not firing projectiles.
But in this case, when Alec Baldwin fired his so-called prop gun, which is obviously a real functioning gun, how come he didn't notice the recoil?
It's like, whoa, that was like a hot round right there.
How did he fire the second round at the director?
So look, just to overview, I'm not going to dwell on this issue because, you know, it is a tragedy.
And I'm not in any way implying that Alec intended to do this.
And it is very sad that someone was killed on the set.
But it is important to note that, number one, the media is covering up for him, calling it or implying it's a fake gun when it was actually a real functioning gun, obviously.
And secondly, that these anti-gun people don't know how to handle guns, and this is what causes safety problems.
So in essence, I think Alec Baldwin just made the argument for nationwide concealed carry training courses for everyone.
Because if people knew how to handle guns, this kind of nonsense wouldn't happen.
How much do you want to bet Alec Baldwin has never gone through a gun safety training course?
Because if he had, he wouldn't have done what he just did and ended up shooting and killing somebody on the movie set.
Someone who's not even one of the actors.
Someone who wasn't even on the set, not on camera.
Someone behind the camera.
So you see what I'm saying?
Something doesn't add up with the official story on this.
It's super fishy, but the media is going to cover for Alec Baldwin.
Oh, and by the way, there is a term for when you accidentally kill someone.
It's called manslaughter, by the way.
So one question is, is Alec Baldwin going to be charged with manslaughter here?
Or if we have to use gender-appropriate terms, in this case, woman slaughter.
I don't know if that's...
Now the appropriate rule, or if that's considered mocking, I'm not mocking.
I can't keep track of the gender rules, but this was a woman who was shot, so maybe it's woman slaughter.
I'm really not sure.
But will Alec Baldwin be criminally charged?
Well, of course not, because he's a liberal.
Because there are two law enforcement systems or two legal systems in America.
One set of laws for conservatives, oh, you're guilty of everything, insurrection, trespassing, terrorism, you know, parents at a School meeting.
And then there's another set of rules for Democrats.
Oh, you're innocent of everything.
Well, you were burning down federal buildings.
No problem.
Charges are dropped.
Oh, you shot somebody.
Oh, it was an accident.
No problem.
Oh, you faked a noose hanging?
Juicy Smollier, as Dave Chappelle says.
Oh, you faked that?
You faked a hate crime?
Don't worry.
We're going to let you off.
No charges for you.
There's two systems of justice in America, so Alec Baldwin will get away with shooting and killing somebody.
Whereas if a conservative did it, oh man, that'd be the end of the world.
Oh, guns are dangerous.
Guns have to be banned.
I wonder if Alec Baldwin will come out now and say, see, I told you guns were dangerous, right?
Maybe he'll have a public service announcement.
Guns kill people, especially when they're in the hands of Alec Baldwin, it seems.
No, seriously.
Are they going to use this as a call for more gun control?
Maybe the rule should be no guns in the hands of libtards who don't know how to handle guns.
That would be a good rule, perhaps.
By the way, just for the record, I've been carrying a gun for 25 years.
Never shot myself, never shot someone else, and I never shot someone filming me.
That has never happened.
And you know why that has never happened?
Because I've never pointed a gun at anyone.
I've never put my finger on the trigger when I was pointing the gun at someone.
And I never imagined the gun was unloaded when it was loaded.
So, in other words, I respected, well, the four rules, also know what's behind your target.
I respected all the rules of gun safety.
It's very simple.
Now, yes, I have shot countless numbers of cardboard targets and steel targets and balloons and even Frisbees.
Yes, that's a fun shooting skill.
You have a friend toss the Frisbee and then you blast it in the air.
I don't know if you've ever done that, but it's difficult because you're only getting the side view of the Frisbee.
But, you know, when you get up to the good levels, that's what you do.
You start blasting the sides of Frisbees as they're flying through the air.
So anyway, that's a little gun drill for you after you've advanced to that level.
But I've shot all kinds of those things, you know, targets, steel targets, paper targets, sometimes certain food items that we will blow up when it's sufficiently fun, like cans of Mountain Dew and so on.
But I've never shot a person, thank God.
I hope I never do.
Hope I never have to, and I know I'm not going to do it accidentally.
You know why?
Because I'm not pointing guns at people.
All right, so I think I've hammered that topic enough.
It's just that, my God, people, you know, these tragedies are preventable.
Stop playing around with loaded guns on movie sets when they are real functioning guns, okay?
It's very simple.
I don't know why this is difficult.
For liberals to understand.
You know, guns don't kill people, but stupid people playing with guns do kill people, it turns out, as we've just proven yet again.
All right, so moving on.
Man.
Remember yesterday when I said I had some symptoms, you know, when I was drinking chlorine dioxide?
Guess what?
It worked.
It always works.
You know, I was sipping it yesterday.
I only used five drops.
Five drops of A and five drops of B. That's the MMS solution.
This morning, I woke up.
I was fine.
Symptoms gone.
Happens every time or any time I get symptoms.
I slam chlorine dioxide.
The next morning, I'm fine.
And I have proven this over and over and over again.
It's astonishing to me that I went so many years without knowing that chlorine dioxide was such a miracle.
Frankly, I'm just, I'm blown away.
This is such an important part of emergency medicine, in my opinion.
And again, I don't sell it, and I don't even know who does sell it.
I've seen videos where I think you can make it yourself.
And I only considered emergency medicine, by the way.
I would not consider it a, it's not a dietary supplement.
It's just emergency medicine, in my view.
But in those emergencies, it works great, in my experience.
So there's a website out there called theuniversalantidote.com, and you should check that out.
And as I mentioned yesterday, that group or person, whoever runs that, they've uploaded a bunch of videos to brighteon.com on a channel.
Now I forgot the name of the channel, but you can find it.
Just search for the universal antidote on brighteon.com.
Watch those videos.
You're going to be blown away.
Personally, I will not go into this collapse scenario that we're facing now without a whole bunch of chlorine dioxide on hand.
That's for sure.
And also, you know, I make colloidal silver, which I also consider to be emergency medicine for topical use and so on.
And, you know, I make herbal medicine.
I've done videos about using ultrasonic cleaners to do herbal extracts to make your own medicine.
And I talk about growing your own medicine with hydroponic systems and so on and so forth.
So I'm all about medical preparedness.
Oh, and speaking of that, by the way, I interviewed the Patriot nurse yesterday.
The patriot nurse.
Oh, yes.
And she, well, we had a great conversation, first of all, because I love her attitude.
You know, she is a no BS, not beating around the bush kind of gal.
Just tells it like it is, which I really appreciate.
And she's also pro Second Amendment, by the way.
And unlike Alec Baldwin, she hasn't just randomly shot people who are hanging around with her.
At least not that we know of.
I guess I'll have to ask you that question next time.
But in any case, we had a great conversation.
That interview should air, I don't know, pretty soon.
Maybe next Monday or Tuesday, actually, on brighttown.tv.
So be sure to check that out.
I have so many interviews stacked up right now that they're actually getting delayed coming out.
I have overworked.
I have overproduced interviews, which is actually great because it gives me a little bit of cushion there.
I want to mention, before we also get into the rest of today's news, and we've got some really fascinating news, I want to plug some other websites that I think are really worth reading and checking out, you know?
There are different sites with different points of view.
I'm not saying that I agree with every single thing that's on every website I'm going to mention here.
But I think it's very important to check out these other sources of information.
You're going to learn a lot of really surprising things.
For example, there's a website out there called whatdoesitmean.com.
And I think, and that's authored by someone named Sorcha Faal.
I don't know how to pronounce, I think it's a woman.
And I apologize, I don't know how to pronounce her name.
But whatdoesitmean.com, it presents news that I think each day says that it's been translated from a report at the Kremlin in Russia.
And what's fascinating about this point of view is that every day they bring in something that the Western news media is absolutely not covering.
There's stuff going on in the world that you would never know about if you're just reading even Western independent media.
And so this website, whatdoesitmean.com, It's citing international news, sometimes Russia points of view, which, again, may not always agree with, but it's important to understand that worldview and that perspective of what America is doing, for example, or what China is doing from the point of view of Russia.
And so whatdoesitmean.com is a valuable data point that I think you should add to your daily news.
Just check it out.
See what you think.
It's pretty astonishing.
There's very interesting stuff there.
And I check it out almost daily just to kind of see what they're covering that we may be missing in the Western independent media.
Okay.
Also, now in terms of independent media here in the United States, there is allnewspipeline.com.
They do great reporting.
Good folks there.
They really get it, and they've covered the truth for quite a long time.
There's sgtreport.com with Sean there, and I don't know his last name.
I don't think he publicized his last name.
Anyway, Sean from sgtreport.com has been a truth teller and a patriot and an investigator for many, many years.
He does a lot of great interviews, and he just does a great job.
Visit theburningplatform.com.
You're going to find just amazing essays and analysis articles from some very intelligent people.
And one of those people who's sometimes featured on the Birding platform is Kunstler.com.
And what is it?
Is it James Howard Kunstler?
Is that his name?
K-U-N-S-T-L-E-R dot com.
Yeah, this is right.
James Howard Kunstler.
Yeah, that's his name.
Okay, now, Kunstler is, I think he's the author of The Long Emergency.
Yeah, that's right.
He is.
And he has a blog called Cluster F Nation, but you got to fill in the F. So, you know, he's pretty edgy.
Yeah.
And in the past, he was more of a kind of political centrist, I believe.
And he was writing for many years about the collapse of oil that was coming.
You know, the long emergency being the emergency of running out of energy.
And what's really notable about Künstler is that here we are in 2021, right now the world is running out of energy.
And so really a lot of what Künstler has predicted or warned about five years ago or even longer is coming true right now as we go into this dark winter of coal scarcity and oil scarcity.
But the other thing that's happening is that, you know, The new energy, the green energy is also collapsing at the same time, right?
So the solar is not producing like it's supposed to in many areas and wind isn't producing.
And the dismantling of the fossil fuel infrastructure in Europe in particular has really exacerbated the problem that we're seeing today.
But the point is that Kunstler, he's a very smart individual, and he's edgy.
He's on the mark with so many things, and you should really check out his website, Kunstler.com.
Of course, there's Paul Craig Roberts, and I think that's.org, if I'm not mistaken, PaulCraigRoberts.org, you know, former Reagan administration official.
And, you know, there are so many...
I'm not going to go through this massive list here.
You can go to censored.news if you want to see some of the other websites that we index, by the way.
Quite a few other sites that are very noteworthy and very much worth visiting.
But I just want to encourage you, and I appreciate you listening to my podcast and reading Natural News and supporting the Health Ranger store.
I greatly appreciate that.
I just want to introduce you to some of these other sources to check out as well, because You need to know that I'm not the only one saying a lot of these things, frankly.
I'm warning about food riots.
I'm warning about the energy collapse.
I'm warning about the supply chain breaking down.
And if you just listen to me, you might think, whoa, why is this guy so doom and gloom?
Read some other websites.
You're going to find I'm the optimist.
I'm the one that ends a podcast every day with...
But we can make it, you know, if we're prepared enough, we can make it through.
And so I'm actually not a pessimist.
It's just, I'm a realist.
And these other websites that I'm promoting here or, you know, publicizing, I think they're realists too.
We're going to go through some real bad times here.
But we can make it through.
We can persevere.
We can rebuild on the other side.
As I jokingly say, you know, build back butter by throwing away the margarine.
Now, Kunstler and others, such as the authors of The Fourth Turning.
What is that?
How?
I keep forgetting those guys' names.
Something and How.
H-O-W-E, I believe.
They are long-term thinkers about economic consequences, and I consider myself to be a member of that same category of a long-term thinker.
I'm often so far ahead of current projections that it sounds even kooky until we get there.
And then people are like, whoa, how did you know?
That happens to me all the time.
Things that I was talking about years ago are happening today.
And remember, I was talking in the fall of 2019 about the total ethnic cleansing of humanity to create a post-human future for planet Earth.
And admittedly, at that time, that sounded really out there to a lot of people.
Not so much now.
It sounds, I mean, it's pretty much a mainstream understanding that that's where we are.
The reason I mention all that is because I want to share with you a little bit of the long-term economic environment that I believe we're going to be living in soon.
And I think if you check out some of the other, you know, big picture thinkers...
That they're going to agree with this as well.
Oh, and I can't leave out Max Slavo at shtfplan.com and Michael Snyder at the economiccollapseblog.com.
I forgot to mention those guys.
A bunch of other big thinkers as well.
But we're going to be living, in my view, right now we're in this supply chain collapse.
I've got more headlines for you today that further demonstrate that accelerating collapse.
But in my opinion, we're going to be living in a world Starting very soon and into many years in the future, a world of scavenging.
Scavenging for used parts and replacement parts, a world of repair expertise, because we are going to see a global collapse of the sustainability of the current manufacturing and logistics supply chain system.
And we're seeing the beginning of that collapse right now.
But it's going to get far, far worse.
And I also believe there's a very good chance that the United States is going to be at war with China sometime probably early next year.
And when that happens, pretty much all trade with China will cease.
And then the supply chain situation will become dire.
And there's going to be a whole new economy, in my view.
This is my analysis.
Of people who are professional scavengers, and by scavenging, I don't mean like killing people and stealing stuff.
I mean even they're hired to scavenge, and they're going to be scavenging from all of the empty homes that were once occupied by people who took vaccines.
And so we're going to see a massive die-off of Of, you know, spike protein injected vaccine addicts, basically.
And so you're going to have a nation with many, many empty homes, and abandoned cars, and abandoned apartments, and so on, even abandoned commercial buildings.
And there will be professional people, perhaps you, this might be a career choice, seriously.
Who go into these homes of the previously living people and take out appliances.
Here's a dishwasher.
Why?
Because you can't get dishwashers anymore because we're at war with China.
You see what I mean?
Or they roll into a neighborhood and they get the keys to the car and they drive away the car.
They claim the car.
There might be even new scavenging laws based on kind of like ocean discoveries.
I don't know what the terms are.
When you find like a sunken treasure in the ocean, you make a claim to it.
There might be laws in some states where people can claim a scavenged property.
I don't know how it's going to work.
You might be able to even move into a house if you just agree to pay the property taxes to the county.
You can just have the house.
Just pay the taxes.
It's yours.
Because there are going to be so many abandoned homes and abandoned buildings and abandoned cars and so on.
There's going to be a glut of previously owned stuff.
Toasters and microwave ovens and flat panel displays and computers and whatever else.
If you're lucky, you might find somebody's Bitcoin wallet.
And you better hope they wrote down the password somewhere.
Otherwise, the password died with them.
Spike protein taking out the Bitcoin wallets.
That would suck to lose some Bitcoin right now with the prices going sky high.
But in any case, it's going to be professional scavengers.
There's also going to be a massive amount of barter happening in this new economy.
And you're going to have, I believe, local physical barter setups like flea markets or what are sometimes called bazaars.
Is that the right term?
Is that the right pronunciation?
Bazaars or trading posts, things like that.
Like haggling booths, you know.
You walk around.
Oh, yeah, I've been looking for, you know, a toaster.
And you haggle over it and you might trade some.
Oh, I've got some garden seeds here.
Or I've got here some pre-1963 silver coins.
How about that?
Here's four quarters, you know.
And I'll take the toaster.
Or people are going to be bartering rechargeable batteries and LED flashlights and whatever else they scavenge from people's homes.
And so this is going to be a big part of the economy.
And then there are going to be experts who are good at repairing things.
Repair is going to come back into fashion because it's going to be obviously very difficult to get new things.
And so suddenly repair will be a big deal.
And this is also going to drive people to...
Want to purchase better quality products and products that are made in America, because if it's made in America, you don't have to wait for the imports, which aren't really happening because of the shipping ports and the containers and the trucking problems in California and all that, the wartime embargo against America.
Wouldn't it be great if it was just made in Michigan or somewhere and you could just get it by truck domestically and you don't have to go through California, you see?
This is going to be a big part of the economy.
What can you make and buy or sell or trade that doesn't have to move through California?
Seriously.
Because if it has to go through California, it's subject to the lunacy of the Democrat nightmare politicians like Newsom, who's been taking all the trucks off the road to try to halt emissions.
You know what?
Here, I got an idea.
You want to halt emissions for California?
No.
Shut down the power grid to Los Angeles and San Francisco and Sacramento and San Diego.
Shut down the power grid.
That'll solve your emissions problems.
Boom!
Overnight.
Of course, it'll unleash total chaos.
But that would be just right in line with Democrats who don't think about long-term consequences of their stupid decisions.
It's like, let's take all the trucks off the road.
And then, you know, two months later, why are the ports all jammed up?
Why do you think?
You took the trucks off the road.
You won't let owner-operators go pick up containers on their trucks.
It's just, again, Democrats destroy everything they touch.
And the more they try to run things, you know, how they want to get involved is, oh, we're going to solve the problem.
No, they're just going to make it a worse nightmare.
But nevertheless, that whole system is going to collapse.
And so in the aftermath of that, We're going to see what I'm talking about.
Barter economies, trade, repair, scavenging, used markets.
And so, you know how you have Craigslist and there's eBay?
I think you're going to have local websites.
And depending on how bad the power grid collapse gets, you might just have local bulletin boards, you know, like wanted, you know.
Tires for a tractor or what have you.
Alternator for this Ford truck or what have you.
It's going to get probably old school pretty quickly.
Buying and selling and trying to get parts and trying to trade things to make things work.
And this is going to be a big part of the economy.
So I want you to be prepared for this.
And as we move into this kind of economy, it's coming.
Mark my words, it's coming.
You need to have stuff that other people want, obviously.
You gotta have stuff that other people want.
And if we conclude that maybe the internet won't be working that well, or perhaps not at all, there might be a kill switch, there might be an EMP attack, there might be power grid might not function.
And by the way, your Bitcoin might not function also.
You need to consider that possibility.
What can you stockpile in the real world that would be very useful to barter with other people?
What kinds of things do people want?
Right now, this is a very good time to consider that.
And by the way, I have directed my product acquisition team at the Health Ranger store.
To purchase thousands of pounds of organic freeze-dried high-end coffee for this very reason.
Because I know that coffee, number one, the crops are really stressed in Brazil and other South American nations because of weather problems, freezing and floods in some areas and so on.
So coffee is a scarce commodity.
But also, when things get interesting in society...
Everybody wants coffee.
Well, most people want coffee.
And freeze-dried coffee lasts a very long time under proper storage conditions.
And so I've directed my team to acquire a large amount of that so that we can offer it to you.
And coffee is a great thing, and hopefully we'll have that in a month or so or whatever, if there's any left, I suppose.
But it's great to have coffee to trade with people.
It's also great to have vodka.
So right now is actually, in my opinion, a great time to run out to your local alcohol store and pick up cases of vodka.
Why?
Because, well, number one, you can make herbal tinctures out of vodka.
It's a great solvent for extracting medicine out of herbs.
You can also mix vodka like half and half with water to make an extract that is actually even more effective, mixing it with a bit of water.
You can, obviously, you can trade it, and if it gets real bad, you can drink it.
I'm not advocating that, and that's not my thing.
I'm not into alcohol consumption.
That's why I go out and buy the cheapest possible vodka, you know, and I get funny looks, too, at the alcohol stores.
They're like, are you buying this for, like, a college party or what?
You have a kid in college?
You know, that's the kind of looks I get.
I'm like, no!
No, stop asking.
I just need cheap vodka.
End of discussion.
They're like, I get it.
I get it.
It's 2021.
We're with you, bud.
Have as much as you want.
I'm like, thank you.
There's four cases here.
And even if I try to explain to them, they're like, no, seriously, actually, this is for herbal extracts.
They're like, that's all right, buddy.
It's 2021.
You don't have to make up stories.
Just enjoy it.
But in my case, it actually is for barter and herbal extracts.
But that's beside the point.
You might want to go out and buy cigarettes.
Again, why?
It's not like we want to support the tobacco industry.
And I don't even know how much cigarettes cost, but I bet they're really expensive right now because of all the taxes and so on.
But if you wanted something to barter with, you know, cigarettes might be One of those things that people would pay any price for, I suppose, or they would value it very highly in a barter situation.
So substances are something to consider.
Again, caffeine slash coffee, alcohol, or maybe if you want it for drinking or bartering as a drinking alcohol, you could get, I don't know, what is it that people like to drink?
Scotch?
I always hear that in the movies.
Like, you want some scotch?
That seems to be the favorite drink in the movies.
I don't know, rum?
I don't know what people drink.
It's probably not light beer.
I can guess that.
And then, you know, cigarettes and whatever else people need.
What do people need on a regular basis?
And for me, as you know, it's bananas.
And avocados.
And that's tough for me because I can't get those things in a collapse.
It's hard to grow in Texas.
I would have to, you know, pay people in gold to drive to South Texas and find an avocado farm and smuggle avocados and bananas up to me in Central Texas.
I'd probably end up paying a pretty penny for that, you know?
But if you ever, like, if I'm ever caught smuggling something...
It's probably avocados and bananas.
And maybe seeds.
That's just who I am.
Whereas, I guess, the rest of the criminal cartels would be smuggling humans, human trafficking and guns, smuggling them over to the Alec Baldwin movie set or something, or smuggling drugs or what have you.
For me, it's just avocados and bananas.
I will trade you cigarettes and alcohol and coffee for avocados and bananas.
How about that?
And I'll throw in this old toaster.
But you see, that's going to be our economy.
Oh, and that reminds me.
This isn't a paid plug, by the way, but remember Dawson Knives.
They sponsored us last week, and they have a coupon code that is Ranger15.
You can go to DawsonKnives.com.
Ranger15 gets you 15% off all their knives and swords through October 31st.
That's what I just remembered to mention that it's good through the end of the month.
Because if you want to have something to barter, have a sword.
Go like Book of Eli.
You know, on the barter market, like show up full Mad Max style with swords and knives and stuff.
And you know how much a good sword is going to be worth in a collapse?
Or a good knife, like a hunting knife, a backpack knife, a survival knife.
And that's what Dawson Knives has.
And they're made in America.
And they're really, really rugged.
These are just beefy, crazy, beefy knives.
In fact, I need to get on there and pick out a couple more knives to acquire myself.
I just...
My time is so – I have so little time.
I don't even have time to buy the stuff that I'm even recommending other people buy sometimes.
I'm behind on my personal prepping shopping sometimes.
It's crazy.
Although I do compensate by purchasing 10,000 pounds of organic freeze-dried coffee and 55-gallon drum of isopropyl alcohol, things like that.
So I do overcompensate in some ways.
You can tease me.
It's okay.
I get it.
But I still have gaps in my prepping as well.
Oh, and speaking of prepping, and the actual sponsor for today's podcast, as you might have guessed, is the Satellite Phone Store, but I have an update.
And, you know, they sell satellite phones from two satellite systems.
This is important.
There's the InMarsat system, and then there's the Iridium system.
And these are two competing satellite systems that provide satellite communications, bandwidth, military channels, as well as consumer civilian satellite phone service.
Okay, and right now, message from the founder of that company.
Her name's Tina.
They have zero ISAT or InMarsat phones.
None.
They're out.
There's a six to eight week wait time on those phones.
If you order those phones today, that order will be filled in December or January.
Let's see.
But it looks like they're going to be limited to 10,000 phones for all of 2022.
Okay.
But they still have Iridium phones right now.
A few.
I think they have a thousand left.
And the Iridium phones...
Require a 24-month contract.
It's under $100 a month or right at $100 a month, and you get the minutes.
You get the free phone, and then the minutes roll over, and you can use those during an emergency.
So they're out of the InMarsat phones, which only require the 12-month contract.
They do have the Iridium phones.
The Iridium phones are usually considered a little bit better phone.
There's a little bit higher end.
And it is a different satellite network.
So personally, what I'm doing, well, in the process of doing, I'm going to acquire an Iridium phone so that I have a sat phone on each network.
I'm not saying that you need to do that.
It's kind of overkill.
But I'm going to do that just because, again, I like to geek out on prepping when I remember to do it.
But, you know, just in case one satellite system stops functioning, I'm going to have the other one.
But you know what?
Seriously, if the satellites stop working, we're in a heap of trouble no matter what.
Because that means something big happened cosmically, you know, solar flare or, I don't know, an EMP weapon or space weapons, Star Wars happened.
I don't know.
If the satellites go down, it's probably bad news.
And then you're going to be going down to Mad Max.
Then you're going to want that book of Eli's sword, you know?
Let's just hope it doesn't go that far down the rabbit hole, huh?
Let's hope we still have something functioning, some kind of infrastructure.
But anyway, you can get that at sat123.com if you are interested in the satellite phones.
Okay, other headlines here.
This is being reported by the Kansas City Star.
The state of Indiana is now recruiting cops that used to work in Chicago and have left Chicago because they refused to get vaccinated.
And so Indiana State Police has said, hey, Chicago police officers, we're hiring.
No vaccine mandate.
Lower taxes, great schools, welcoming communities.
And they should add, you don't have to take orders from Beetlejuice, Mayor Lightfoot there in Chicago, right?
You don't have to live under insane lunatic left-wing Democrat policies in the city of Chicago, the most corrupt city probably in America.
Come to Indiana.
Work for us.
It's a better life.
And what's amazing about this, see, I'd love to see this because people are already making these kinds of decisions all across the country.
They're leaving California and they're moving to, well, often Austin, Texas, it seems.
They're leaving New York and moving to Florida.
But I guess that's been going on for a long time.
But people are getting out of these blue cities because the insanity is just too much to bear long term.
And even businesses.
I know people who own businesses on the west coast of California and they're trying to sell, trying to get out desperately.
But so far they can't find buyers.
They may just walk away at some point because it's untenable.
You can't stay in California desperately.
The whole system's crumbling and the taxes are going up and the rules are beyond insane at this point.
And they can see that the system is not sustainable.
So it's kind of like the mass fleeing of California is already underway, mass migration.
And by the way, this is going to happen at a much larger scale as we move into the The 2022-plus scenarios that I described before, you know, with the scavenging and the barter economies and so on, you're going to have a lot of mass migration.
You're going to have refugees in America.
As currently we see, you know, large groups of people from Haiti, for example, trying to cross the southern border into the United States or El Salvador people trying to cross into the U.S. And those are organized caravans that have been put together by globalists like Soros and so on.
You're going to see mass migration in the United States as this collapse accelerates.
And what I think is interesting, because I've already thought through this quite a bit, as you might be able to tell, you're going to have states like Arizona and Texas that will erect their own border control against fleeing migrants from California.
That's right.
And even Florida might have to have its own border security.
So a lot of these red states, they're not going to be able to take all these refugees as the blue cities collapse.
And the collapse is coming.
It's already engineered into the system.
And what do you do with all these refugees?
Well, I don't know, but you can't just have them all come into your state And just start committing crime, you know, squatting and stealing.
Because a lot of these people, especially from California, they're fleeing the blue cities.
They have no ethics.
They don't respect the rule of law.
You know, I mean, come on.
They're radical left-wing Marxists.
You don't want them in your state.
Because California collapsed because of those people.
So you don't want to come in and collapse your state as well.
So we are going to see borders erected within the United States.
And this is going to happen at the same time that there's a move towards secession or balkanization or a kind of a negotiated breakup of the country.
And that's going to coincide with the dollar collapse that's also coming, although I always say I can't, I don't know when that's going to happen.
But it is going to happen.
It's inevitable.
The dollar is going to collapse.
Washington, D.C. is going to collapse.
There's going to be a breakup of the nation.
And when that happens, you're going to see states like Texas and Arizona and Florida and also Indiana and so on.
I mean, Indiana will probably have to block refugees from Chicago.
You know?
Because for all the reasons I just mentioned.
So what's the situation that you want to be in when all of this comes down?
And part of the answer is you want to be sitting on serious stockpiles of stuff that you can barter.
You want to have your own house, your own land.
You want to be as far away from the cities as possible.
You want to have everything paid off.
You don't want to owe the government any money.
And you want to be able to protect your stockpiles, but also to have sufficient stockpiles of things that you can trade, which has to include emergency medicine, antiseptics like povidone iodine and hydrogen peroxide and bleach, isopropyl alcohol, all these things.
But also then, of course, physical gold and silver, ammunition, lots of.22 long rifle ammo.
And by the way,.22LR ammo is coming down in price right now.
It's still much higher than it was a couple years ago.
I remember it was on sale for 3.5 cents a round or even 4 cents a round.
And I was telling people then, you know, buy thousands of rounds.
You buy a thousand rounds at that time for $40.
A thousand rounds for $40?
Right now, they're more like 8 or 9 cents a round or 10 cents a round, but think about it.
You get 1,000 rounds of.22LR ammo for $100.
That's a very good deal.
In fact, I'm glad I mentioned this.
I should get more.
Yeah, you can never have too much ammo for, you know, for the coming collapse as a barter item, you know?
And.22 long rifle ammo is kind of a utilitarian ammo, you know?
Everybody's got some kind of.22 gun, a little.22, you know, a.10-22 rifle or a little.22 pistol rifle.
And what have you.
And it's ammo for varmints and maybe self-defense, not so much usually, but it's a useful ammo.
And so you got to be sitting on a lot of that.
Frankly, it's good to sit on that.
And it's probably better than cash in what's coming.
In addition to that, you know, do you have any spare firearms?
Do you have things that are going to be very difficult for people to get once war with China is unleashed?
Or there's no more imports?
There's no more logistics or transportation?
What are the things that are dirt cheap right now that are going to be impossible to get later on?
And I'm thinking things like Rechargeable batteries, LED flashlights, LED headlights, radios, like the Baofeng two-way radios you can get online right now for $30.
In the future, somebody will trade an arm and a leg for that.
Or how about a little GPS receiver?
Dirt cheap now could be very, very expensive down the road.
Or even some optics for firearms, like a red dot sight.
You can get a red dot sight right now for about $100.
or magnifiers or scopes or things like that.
So if you've been wondering, are you doing the right thing to stockpile these items?
I think the answer is absolutely yes, if it's something that's going to be very difficult to get because the imports are collapsing.
But keep in mind, you'll also be competing against the scavengers.
So the scavengers will find a lot of stuff on the used market, previously owned by currently deceased people.
So there is going to be some supply from the scavenging, but that supply runs out.
You know, you can only scavenge so much.
At some point, there are no more houses left on the neighborhood where people died and left behind, you know, all their goodies.
I don't mean to make light of this, although it may have sounded that way, but I'm just a realist, folks.
There's going to be a lot of people dying from the vaccines.
There's going to be a glut of used cars.
There's going to be a glut of homes.
There's going to be abandoned appliances and so on.
So there is going to be kind of a wave of supply of used stuff that hits the market.
And that's going to include some firearms, by the way.
You know, there's a lot of people dying who have guns.
And, you know, those guns are going to go to somebody.
Maybe a family member is going to go in, grab the guns and try to offload them on a, you know, like a gun sale, gun show, I don't know, or selling them person to person to someone they know.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some extra, you know, ammo or gold or silver or seeds or something to barter to get a firearm?
During a collapse scenario, or maybe you trade them, you know, a sword or a machete.
I'm talking about the high-end stuff, you know, or a really good survival knife and things like that.
So it's a good idea to sit on things that are going to have value.
And of course, food is the ultimate barter item.
This is why I have been such a strong advocate of growing your own food.
And by the way, yes, yes, my editor, I think, has finished editing my video about the suspended net pot non-circulating hydroponic system, or he's very close to finishing.
And that should be posted later today, in fact.
At least that's what I've requested.
I want it posted later today, certainly by tomorrow, Saturday.
So you'll have that video this weekend.
It's just kind of an introduction, but it's very good.
It's very fun.
You'll see what I'm doing.
I'm showing you the lights and the plants and the bins and the water and the roots, the pH tester, you know, all of it.
The coconut core, the net pots, all of it.
And you can grow food and you can barter that for anything because everybody needs to eat.
Now, I hate to go dark on you here.
But when people don't have stockpiles of stuff to trade, they end up trading sometimes their bodies, you know, like they become sex workers.
Not everybody's qualified to be a sex worker.
You know, some people, there's no demand.
For what they got.
And so, you know what I'm saying?
Again, I'm not trying to make light of this.
I'm just trying to be a realist.
I would hope that everybody would prepare with food and silver and ammunition and have some things to barter so they don't collapse into some realm where they think they have to trade their body because that's the last thing they have left.
But sadly, and this is going to get a little bit darker for some people, and I'm talking about twisted people, talking about sickos, They end up trading not just themselves, but, you know, dare I say, their kids.
They end up trafficking their own children.
And this has happened.
Actually, I think this happens every day, all over the world.
And that's sick because, you know, that there are people who create demand for that, even in normal times.
And You know, you got to be some kind of sicko freak to buy into that, you know, quote, black market economy.
But you got to be just as sick to be the parent that is so desperate that that's what you resort to, you know, trafficking your own children.
But that goes on.
And so it's just another reason to say prepping prevents desperation.
if you've got the food and the water filters, right.
And you've got the backup, maybe power generator or flashlights or solar generator or what have you backup supply of food and garden seeds, and you can take care of yourself, then you never have to resort to crazy, insane things that are also highly immoral and unethical insane things that are also highly immoral and unethical and, and tend to attract some very bad people, by the way, that's,
On the list of reasons not to engage in trafficking yourself or others, at the top of that list should be, number one, because you're attracting really bad people.
I'm sure it's a long list, but on that list, that should be one of them.
Because what kind of person, you know, is the customer for that?
Probably some criminal element, you know, psycho people that you don't want to interface with anyway.
So there's a reason to prep.
Well, another reason.
Now let's flip that whole topic.
Let's invert that a little bit.
And let's talk about There's also going to be a lot of children without parents, a lot of orphans, and there are going to be some good people that help rescue those orphans.
that we're going to see orphanages because there's going to be some, you know, Christian oriented, probably some very heartfelt, empathetic moms and dads that are willing to take in other children whose parents died from the vaccine or who died from the violence or the empathetic moms and dads that are willing to take in other children whose parents died A lot of children are going to lose their parents, especially to the vaccines.
So we're about to see a society where there is a, I don't, you know, it's not even the right word.
Yeah, I don't want to use the wrong word here.
This is a very sensitive subject.
There are going to be large numbers of orphans.
I'll just say it that way.
And there's going to be a nationwide, even a global need for people to take them in and care for them and show them humanity and teach them dignity.
And Save them or protect them from the trafficking elements of society that are going to run black market human trafficking operations.
And so, you know, there's going to be a lot of children out there that could go one way or the other depending on who reaches them first.
If a good Christian person reaches them and is able to take them in, you could save that child's life.
You could change the future of that child.
But in order to do that, you have to have stored food.
Correct?
You've got to be able to feed that child.
As we know, children can consume a lot of food.
So you need...
Extra prepping supplies.
You need to be able to acquire food.
You've got to have a place for them to sleep and so on.
So in order to take care of another child or an orphan in this case, you have to also cover your own bases first.
I mean, if you're in a panic, you can't really help anybody else yet because you can't provide for yourself.
And we are about to live in a world where there's going to be a lot of orphans and there's going to be a huge need for churches and And, you know, all kinds of nonprofits to try to rescue these kids.
There's going to be a lot of predators out there, sickos, you know, Democrat donors, probably, human traffickers, who are going to try to prey on those kids.
And we've got to rescue those kids from those organizations.
Otherwise, it's going to be very horrendous.
So, you know, this is the thing.
The vaccine war on humanity, it's not just that they're murdering people with the vaccines.
It's all of these other side effects, like the one I'm talking about now.
If you lose millions of parents, what about the kids?
Now you have millions of orphans.
And that burden is added to what's happening in society, which includes the supply chain collapsing.
And all the families being ripped apart and the culture wars and the economic collapse and all these other things.
But this is, remember, this is a war against humanity.
So of course there are going to be child victims.
And it's up to people like us, like you and I, as responsible, ethical adults, to prepare as best we can so that we can help as many people as possible when the time comes.
And I know that We've talked about this before.
There might be adult...
You know, non-preppers that maybe aren't worthy of you helping because they ignored all your advice the entire time.
Maybe they even mocked you and suddenly they want food.
You know, you might refuse them.
But when it comes to innocent children, they didn't have a choice.
They're not old enough to have been able to make a choice about whether to prepare or not.
You know, a 12-year-old kid or a 9-year-old kid, they're not even old enough to fend for themselves.
They're at the mercy of their parents, and if their parents were anti-prepping morons or vaccine zombies who died from the vaccine, that's not the fault of the kid.
And so, at least in my heart and in my spirit, I want to help as many innocent people as possible.
And it's going to come down to a lot of children, frankly.
Now, I'm not going to run an orphanage.
I don't know anything about raising kids.
But I'm going to help a lot of local churches, and I'm going to make donations, and I'm going to help others who are directly helping the kids.
And I've got a lot of different ways to help rebuild communities.
So I know my role.
It's not raising kids.
It's empowering others to do things like that.
But you've got to know your role.
Maybe you are good with kids, and you want to do that, so be prepared for that.
Maybe, by the way, you know what a great skill to teach the kids would be?
Scavenging.
I'm not talking about illegally.
I'm talking about legal scavenging.
And there's going to be some kind of a system set up in society where maybe the county will auction off scavenging rights to homes, abandoned homes, on a neighborhood street.
Kind of like the way storage facilities, you know, storage businesses, when people abandon the storage lockers, isn't there even a TV show about this?
A reality show where people bid on the unknown contents of a storage, like a 10-foot storage thing?
And they win the right to open it up and take whatever's valuable?
Isn't that a show?
I think that's going to happen with homes.
So there's going to be like a county auction for scavenging rights to homes and even businesses and commercial buildings and so on.
And you bid on the rights.
And the county is going to accept things like gold and silver, you know, maybe ammunition because the county's got...
Law enforcement officers, they need ammo too.
You show up with a bunch of 9mm ammo, you're like, hey, I'm bidding on the scavenging rights for this block of 10 houses, and you've got 5,000 rounds of 9mm, you're probably going to win.
And then you can teach your kids to go legally do the scavenging operation, and they're going to learn something about appliances, about repair, about maintenance and upkeep, and all of this.
I'm not joking.
You might think this is...
Like an out there idea.
This is not an out there idea.
You're going to need to train kids to be professional scavengers.
It's a skill that they can do.
They can learn and they can do very well.
They have small little hands.
They can disassemble things, you know?
They can...
They can disconnect...
The circuits and the wires, after shutting off the circuit breakers, obviously, and they can pull the appliances out of there.
Again, all legal.
I'm not talking about robbing homes.
I'm talking about legalized, authorized, professional scavenging operations.
This is an economic activity that can teach those kids a useful skill and put food on the table.
Seriously.
See, a lot of people don't think about these kinds of things.
My mind is so far, so many moves ahead down the future, I can't stop thinking about this kind of stuff.
I feel like I'm looking at a chessboard and it's like six or seven moves down the road.
This is where we're going to end up.
It's not hard to see it.
This is coming.
Somebody's going to be a scavenger.
Seriously.
All right.
By the way, Zero Hedge reporting that the Cushing oil storage They're about to run out of physical oil.
Quote, And this is the conclusion of a bank.
If nothing were to change in the Cushing balance over the next two months, we might expect front WTI spreads to spike to record highs.
A super backwardation scenario.
In other words, these are black swan type of events.
So remember how we've talked about an energy shortage and fuel shortage, natural gas and so on.
This is happening with oil now.
And oil, of course, feeds into transportation prices of food and products and supplies and all kinds of other things.
I was talking to a guy who owns a company, a construction company, runs contractors who do plumbing and Plumbing prep for new homes in Texas.
There's still a lot of home construction happening in Texas.
And he said his crew just finished all the plumbing prep for three homes, and they only profited $250 total.
And I said, really?
How can that be?
be.
He said, well, because all the plumbing parts, the prices went up so much from the time they made the original bid to the time where they had to buy the parts and put them in that it wiped out almost all their profits.
This is going to be happening across all the trades, you know, plumbing, electrical, roofing, drywall, home construction, everything.
And oil prices are going to figure into this because there's a transportation component in almost everything.
Especially food People often forget that.
But a lot of the food that's in the grocery stores in America comes from South America during the winter months, especially.
So those are long road miles.
That's a lot of oil cost into the food.
And that's even if the supply chain is functioning.
And remember, all those long-haul trucks, they need spare parts and tires.
And alternators and functioning brake systems and all these things that require parts from Asia.
So the question becomes, as things get worse with China and the ports continue to be a huge problem, How many trucks are being taken off the roads each and every day because they're no longer serviceable, can't get the parts?
And that's a very serious question.
How many tractors are being taken out of production from the harvest because they can't get parts, they can't get tires?
And then you add into that the cost of diesel, which is what all the tractors run on.
There are no battery-powered tractors, by the way.
It's all diesel, folks.
This is why I always recommend diesel because it's universal.
Everything I have runs on diesel.
But you start adding all this up and you see the supply chain situation gets rather dire.
And for those out there who are delusional thinking, well, it's all just going to go back to normal.
My question is, how?
You know, tell me how that happens.
I'm fascinated.
In your mind, please explain the steps of how things go back to normal.
How does the supply chain get solved?
How do trucks get back on the road in California?
How does the dollar gain value instead of losing value when they're printing trillions every week, it seems?
How does that happen?
In what warped version are the laws of cosmic economics turned upside down so that your wish can come true and everything goes back to normal?
Are you God?
Can you alter the laws of economics and physics and energy?
Because if you're not God, then you've got to deal with cause and effect like the rest of us mortal beings.
And in the world of cause and effect, this stuff doesn't go back to normal.
Never!
You are never going to see early 2019 again, not in terms of the purchasing power of the dollar, not in terms of abundant products on the shelves, cheap oil, cheap goods.
You know, the Trump era, which in retrospect looked pretty darn good, that's over.
Even if they brought Trump back in right now, Just one day they just said, oh, we were joking.
Biden's out, Trump's back in.
Even if that happened and Trump started, you know, signing executive orders, boom, boom, boom, and reversing all this as quickly as possible, we would still go through the dark winter because you can't turn this ship around overnight.
It's already baked in, as I like to say.
And the harvests of 2022 are already compromised because of the lack of fertilizer and all the things that we've talked about before.
So the famine is coming, and it is inescapable.
There's nothing stopping it.
And there's no scenario that takes us back to normal anytime soon.
Oh, and on top of that, 750 workers at General Electric just walked off the job because of the vaccine mandate.
And there's a video out there.
I'm not even going to play it, but you can get the idea.
There's hundreds of workers just leaving General Electric and shouting things.
And this is happening, you know, in Boeing.
This is happening.
Union Pacific Railroad Company.
This is happening.
John Deere workers are on strike.
It's happening.
Police officers, firefighters.
You know, we've gone through all these examples over the last several weeks.
General Electric makes a lot of stuff, it turns out.
They manufacture all kinds of commercial systems, industrial systems, engines, parts for transportation, logistics, electrical power grids, substations.
What else?
Like large-scale manufacturing, fluid handling systems, environmental controls.
I mean, you name it.
GE. I mean, nuclear power plants, you know?
They're into all that stuff.
So they've just lost 750 workers, probably more on the way.
And so their internal supply chain is heavily disrupted.
How many more hits can the economy take?
You know, again, the answer, we're not going back to, quote, normal, ever.
This is a totally different future that we're facing now.
Alright, now one more final thought on all this, and I want you to recalibrate your concept of what is wealth.
And...
I'd like to encourage you to think about wealth in the real 3D world, the physical world.
What is wealth versus the fake virtual wealth that's numbers on a screen?
So there's a lot of so-called billionaires now, many of them, who are considered very wealthy individuals, and they've got, I don't know, big bank accounts and big assets and so on.
None of that counts until it's translated into real-world things.
So if there are billionaires out there who failed to prep as this collapse happens, all of that paper wealth can vanish.
Because, of course, the stock market is massively overvalued.
It's going to collapse in value.
And who knows what's going to happen to crypto.
It might go crazy up.
It might go crazy down.
It might be worth a million.
It might be worth zero.
I'm not sure.
Who knows?
Probably people will flee into crypto as they get out of the dollar.
But then what if the power grid goes down?
I don't know.
I guess we'll see.
But if there are billionaires out there who don't prep, they are poor, poor, poor.
Compared to someone who's just average income who has engaged in prepping.
So real wealth is owning your own piece of land.
Even if it doesn't have to be massive, it just has to be yours.
Something that you own.
Real wealth is having a roof over your head that you own free and clear.
Real wealth is having, you know, an apple tree in the backyard or an orange tree or a fig tree or I wish I had an avocado tree.
You know, that's real wealth.
Real wealth is having some supplies of the things I've mentioned through this podcast.
You know, ammo, gold and silver, antiseptics, firearms, things that can barter.
A book of Eli's swords.
You know, you can hang them across all your walls, you know, have a sword festival, whatever.
That's actually real wealth.
Real wealth is having seeds.
Real wealth is being able to grow food and having the hydroponic fertilizers and the bins and everything, or just the garden tools to be able to grow food and the knowledge to grow food.
That's invaluable.
Personally, I don't care how much, quote, money somebody has on paper.
And I do know some very wealthy people who are also preppers, and I respect them for being preppers.
And it does make it easier to prep if you have a billion dollars, that's true.
But it's no replacement for the wisdom of knowing what to get, right?
And having the skills of how to use it.
So there can be, quote, wealthy people who are actually very poor when it comes to where we're headed with our economy, because what they have doesn't count when it hits the fan.
Whereas you, even if you're on a middle-class income, and even if you're not wealthy, and you've done a little bit of prepping, but you've got knowledge and skills and determination, you know, some know-how, you are wealthy, and also spiritually wealthy.
You know, if you've been reading the Bible, which I need to do more of myself, actually.
My friend Bob Sisson, he keeps reminding me, you've got to read an hour a day, you know?
Okay, I'm working on it.
I will get there.
I will get there.
But we all need to read more.
Because that's wealth too.
That's spiritual wealth.
So recalibrate your concept of what is wealth around these things that really matter.
And don't worry or don't try to compare yourself to someone else who has more money, someone else who has a fancy boat parked in their driveway.
Who cares?
What's that boat going to be worth worth?
As the supply chain collapses, it's worth nothing because you can't get boat parts, it turns out.
Or the parts for the trailer to haul the boat.
There's no gasoline.
It's all worthless.
You see what I mean?
Like one meal of fresh strawberries might be worth more than the entire boat.
They might trade you the boat for a meal.
If they're hungry enough, they will.
Trust me.
So recalibrate what is wealth.
And I think you'll discover...
You're pretty well off, actually.
Even if it may not look like it from your bank statements, this and that, what have you, you're actually pretty well off.
And this is the way that I look at wealth.
And I mean, I've been blessed with being a steward of financial resources, thanks to your support.
And I use those financial resources to keep building infrastructure.
That's what I'm doing.
Building the lab, building the manufacturing, building the new warehouse for picking and packing, larger scale orders, larger scale manufacturing of storable food, building Brighteon, building a platform for people to exercise free speech.
And I've just been blessed with enough support to do that.
But never have I looked at that and thought, Oh, I'm wealthy because of the money that's flowing through my decisions.
That's not a thought that occurs to me.
I feel blessed, I feel fortunate, but I also feel a responsibility.
To put those finances to some very important use for humanity.
That's why I do what I do.
People ask me, why don't you just take the money and retire?
Because that's kind of pointless.
What am I going to do living in an unfree world, sitting on a pile of money that's going to become worthless anyway?
You know, right?
You might as well put it into something that's going to make a difference, like a free speech platform.
Brighteon.
Or, you know, a warehouse that can manufacture more certified organic storable food to help save people's lives, to help people get ready.
That's what counts, and that's wealth.
So wealth is not how much money you have.
It's how you put that money to use in a way that serves the interests of humanity, which are aligned with the interests of Jesus Christ, frankly.
You know, I don't know how else to say it.
God has a plan for each of us.
God wants you to be doing these things.
That is real wealth.
And so as you walk in alignment with what God wants for us to do, know that you are, in fact, blessed with abundance beyond imagination, regardless of how much you owe in your credit cards.
That's the way I look at it.
And I don't collect...
Objects, like we've talked about here, you know, stockpiling barter items.
I don't collect objects for the exercise of sitting on piles of stuff.
It's about this idea of keeping community going through barter and trade.
You help others, they help you.
You are, in effect, amplifying the efforts of society.
You're stockpiling stuff, but you intend to trade them out to other people.
In exchange for other things, maybe they have a cow.
Maybe they'll trade you a cow.
Maybe they'll trade you a truck.
Maybe they'll trade you some labor to build a fence or something.
There's all kinds of things.
But it's not about sitting on stockpiles.
It's about having stockpiles to lubricate the economy of the local community during the rebuilding.
That's what it's about.
And it's that intention that is wealth.
Not the stuff you're sitting on, but the intention of how this is used throughout society.
That's real wealth.
So that's what I wanted to invite you to kind of think about, recalibrate your concept of what is wealth?
What is community?
What is money?
What is barter for?
It's not just about, oh, what can I get for myself?
It's also about, hey, what can I push out into the community through barter, through free exchange?
You know, it's not a welfare thing.
I'm not about just handing out stuff because that's the wrong message.
It should be about Fair trade.
It should be about free market decisions, consent between two parties that want to buy and sell and trade something.
That's positive for society.
That's why you stockpile.
That's why you have extra stuff.
And maybe you need to help orphaned children like we talked about, and then you're going to have to donate some stuff.
Maybe you want to donate to churches.
Maybe you want to donate to the orphanage.
Maybe you want to run your own orphanage.
You're going to need extra food.
You've got extra mouths to feed at that point.
So yeah, there you go.
But that's giving.
That's giving to another human being, but you've got to stockpile first to have something to give.
Okay?
So when the media tries to shame people, oh, you're hoarding, oh, you're stockpiling, oh, you're panic buying.
No, we're not.
Actually, we are building the backbone of the future society, a society in which you, fake news journalists, probably will not participate because most of you are going to be dead from the spike protein.
So why are you even talking?
You're not even going to be here, much less understand the philosophy of what it means to rebuild society after you have destroyed it.
You see what I mean?
They're not even on the level of understanding what we're doing philosophically, the reasons why we're doing it, And the positive intention that we have in our hearts and in our minds that power all of this.
It's not about hoarding as a selfish thing.
It's about stockpiling to set yourself up to push those things into society as the collapse accelerates and we revert to a barter economy.
And also you've got to survive too.
You've got to be able to feed yourself and defend yourself.
So, you know, food and self-defense, ammo and so on has a very important role.
I don't plan to sit on stockpiles for very long.
I plan to get them out into the community.
Because ultimately, you've got to have a sustainable community.
Somebody's got to grow food.
Somebody's got to do law enforcement.
Somebody's got to do emergency medicine.
You're going to have to have sustainable roles.
Somebody's got to drill for oil.
You're still going to have an oil economy for quite a long time, folks.
Somebody has to repair things.
Somebody has to scavenge things.
Somebody has to, I don't know, print the news.
Somebody's got to be the veterinarian.
We're going to have to get back to basics of what makes society sustainable.
And this is coming.
So many of the delusions of our modern society are collapsing, and they will collapse.
It will be shattered.
And we will look back at this time when, you know, a transgender, a biological man who thinks he's a transgender woman was just named a four-star admiral.
We're going to look back at that, and it's just going to be the perfect characterization of the absurdity of our time.
The absurdity that led to the total collapse.
Because that is an aberration of human civilization when society says that men are women and men can have babies and children should have their genitalia mutilated and chemical castrations under transgenderism and critical race theory and all these things.
Those are aberrations of sustainable civilization and those things will fall very soon.
And as we rebuild, we're going to rebuild based on biological reality.
Only a man and a woman can have a child.
Every child born has one father and one mother, period.
There are no exceptions.
And it's shameful that you can't even state that truth publicly now without being banned.
But we're going to return to sanity here very, very soon.
Because the delusions will collapse.
And also the financial delusions, the stock market delusion, the dollar delusion, frankly.
And a lot of crypto delusions are going to collapse too.
And we're going to be left with raw reality where you need to be prepared in the physical world.
So let that be my primary message for today.
Be prepared in the physical world for all the reasons and all the philosophies that I've covered here.
You have an important role to play in the future of human civilization.
You must survive the hard times that are coming in order to help others rebuild human civilization in the vision of what God wanted for us in the first place.
See?
It makes perfect sense.
And finally, while you're at it, don't play with guns at Alec Baldwin's house.
Because they're all apparently loaded.
You know?
Be smart, folks.
Be smart.
We need you.
All right.
Thanks for listening.
I know it's crazy topics today, but that's every day.
But I appreciate listening and I hope you have a great weekend.
I'm going to be working on food, more grow boxes.
I'm planting strawberries this weekend.
I can't wait.
It's my vacation.
When I get to do it, I just feel so awesome.
It gets me super happy and energized whenever I get to play with plants.
That's what I would like to do, actually, full-time.
I just want to have a greenhouse full of food.
That's kind of like growing stuff.
That would be great.
I'd be very satisfied just doing that.
That's what I'm going to do.
And I ask you, what are you going to do?
What are you going to do this weekend to get prepared, to get ready for what's coming?
Use your time wisely.
Use your funds wisely.
And make sure you are in the correct location for what's coming as well.
You know, don't be in the blue cities.
All right.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for your support.
Don't forget our Black Friday sale is November 11th.
That's 11-11.
We're doing it early to beat the collapse of the supply chain.
So I'll give you more news about that as we get closer.
Have a great weekend, folks.
God bless you.
Take care.
A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
