Time Text
All right, welcome to the situation update for Wednesday, December 15th, 2021. welcome to the situation update for Wednesday, December 15th, 2021.
This is Mike Adams here, and today's been a bit of a crazy day.
I've had just a non-stop incoming stream of phone calls and texts and emails.
Everybody's got intel today.
It's just crazy.
It's like everybody just came out of the woodwork and was like, Mike, you got to see this.
This is the craziest thing ever.
And I'm like, I saw the craziest thing ever five minutes ago from somebody else.
It's like, no, this is seriously the craziest thing.
Everybody's sending me crazy things.
So today's podcast is going to have a lot.
Let me just give you...
How about this?
Just a little overview.
We're going to talk about active volcanoes, global cooling, Germany shutting off Russia's energy supply.
Yeah, we're going to talk about rounding up people who have no symptoms.
Of course, that's happening in Australia.
Let's see.
Department of Homeland Security using anti-terrorism powers to harass American journalists.
U.S. inflation going off the charts.
Congress hiking the debt limit.
Let's see.
Oh, then a big red alert.
This is crazy.
The IMF urges the UK government to give non-banks access to liquidity in market crisis.
And we're going to decode that because that's an admission that the whole dang system has collapsed.
And they're going to have to bail out all the hedge funds.
Oh, wait till we get to that.
And then there's a lawsuit now that's been filed against Tether claiming that Tether is engaged in deceptive practices that violate the law, basically accusing them of committing massive fraud for not having, well, the deposits to back the Tether stablecoins.
Hmm.
That sound familiar?
We've been kind of, you know, investigating that lately.
We've got vaccine tyranny at Kroger grocery stores.
Canada just ordered 400 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
Yeah, that's right, 400 million for a country that only has 40 million people.
So roll up your sleeves, Canadians.
You're going to get the big 10-shot cocktail.
Seems like that's what's coming up.
The FDA and the USPS are conspiring to block ivermectin shipments coming into the United States.
What else?
Oh, and if we have time for it, then we're going to get into also some of the crazy scenarios that might be played out.
The cards yet to be played against America by the globalists in the year 2022.
It's going to be a very crazy year.
No doubt about it.
So look, enjoy this Christmas season while you can.
Enjoy the relative calm before the even bigger storm.
And by the way, just to aid in your enjoyment, we are releasing the comedy collection of all the allegedly funny things that I've said on the podcast through the last year.
So that's right, you're gonna get...
Just this insane compilation.
I haven't even heard it yet, but my editor has been compiling all these funny moments.
You know, you're going to get, well, alien abducted anal probe Roy.
You're going to get, let's see, a penis-wielding woman.
Of course, that was yesterday.
I had a lot of reaction to that.
People thought that was the funniest thing they've heard in a while.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Of course, we have the entire skit of the Transgender Astronauts and then the full collection of all the different voices and impersonations and mockery and just all-purpose comedy and satire from the entire year of Situation Update Podcast.
And that's a lot of insanity for you right there.
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to handle this myself, but we're going to release that And I've been playing with the title.
I think we're going to call it now Health Ranger Mox 2021 or something like that.
You know, maybe you can suggest a name, but something like giving the finger to 2021, you know, just to say goodbye 2021.
And then, of course, we're leaping into the fire of 2022, which is going to be even worse.
I hope it's not so bad that we can't still joke about it.
If I ever stop joking about the world, then you know it's really bad.
As long as I can make some wisecracks here about it, we still have a shot.
But overall, I've got a very bad vibe about 2022.
Really a bad feeling.
An ominous feeling about things that are about to happen.
And although I may cover this in more detail later, the big scenarios that I am seeing unfold are...
The economic collapse situation, well, dollar collapse, currency collapse, debt bomb collapse.
I'm putting all that under one category of finance.
And then, of course, we're going to have the cyber attacks on the financial institutions, which will make it even worse.
And we've got war with Russia.
It's being pushed by NATO. Because Biden and NATO, they want a war with Russia.
And Steve Quayle, Talked to me earlier, a few hours ago, and he said, yeah, by the way, the deadline that Putin has given NATO to withdraw their forces that are threatening Russia's border there, you know, Belarus and Ukraine in particular, the deadline is January 8th.
So, according to these sources, then Putin is going to strike the NATO forces on January 9th if they don't retreat.
So, I don't know.
We'll see if that happens, or maybe there'll be a negotiation, or maybe in this game of chicken, maybe NATO will back down.
I hope so, because they're doing insane things.
And then also, of course, another wild card for 2022 is going to be the bioweapons release.
There's another one coming.
Omicron wasn't the last one.
Not by any long shot, no.
Oh, they've still got smallpox in the freezer.
They've got Ebola in the freezer.
And they've got Marburg in the freezer.
Remember the old song you used to sing on the trips, like, 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, you know, you take one.
Well, they've got like 99 strains of deadly bioweapons in the freezer.
99 strains of bioweapons.
Oh, you take one out, you shake it about, and there's 98 strains of bioweapons in the freezer.
That's the Fauci song.
For 2022, when you're fleeing your collapsed city and you're on the road, you can sing that.
We'll have to work on the words a little bit, make that smoother.
And by the way, add to this the fact that the vast majority of people everywhere, America, Canada, Europe, are oblivious to what's happening, what has already happened.
They're oblivious to what has happened.
They still don't know about gain of function research.
They don't know the vaccines are biological weapons.
They're not aware of all the deaths yet.
Although some are becoming more aware, getting hard to not notice people dropping dead.
You know, the body bags mounting up here.
But most people are still oblivious.
So you talk about the big global reset actions, the cyber war, the banks being frozen, remember, on a holiday.
It's a holiday.
Where'd my money go?
Oh, it's on a holiday.
Don't worry.
Well, when's my money coming back?
Ah, whenever.
Someday, after it's done with the holiday...
Imagine the total freakout that's going to happen across society when people realize that everything they depend on has stopped working.
It's going to be crazy.
So, by the way, remember how I said in every podcast here, you're going to learn a really interesting fact.
Something that's kind of astonishing, but true.
Well, today I have an interesting fact for you that's very practical.
And after you hear this, you're going to go get one of these and put it in your car.
And the interesting fact that, once again, is going to sound impossible, but it's absolutely true, is that you can pump up your car tires with a Bicycle foot pump.
And these foot pumps can be had on Amazon or online resellers or local sporting goods stores for about $15 to $20.
And every person should have a bicycle tire foot pump in their car.
Why?
Because you might have a slow flat and you don't realize it.
Until maybe you get like a tire pressure warning light on your dashboard or something, you have a slow leak, you can pull over, you can hook up the foot pump, and you can just pump it with your foot and you can pump your tire back up.
And to this day, I don't understand why people don't carry bicycle tire pumps in their cars.
Because it's the same valve.
It's the, I think it's called the Schrader, you know, the normal American style bicycle tires.
I'm not talking about the, I think in Europe they use the Presta ones.
I'm going to talk about those.
I'm talking about the normal American bikes.
I guess none of which are made in America anyway, but the normal valves is the same thing as your car tires.
And your car tires don't really have that high of a PSI. A typical car tire is only inflated to about 35 PSI, whereas a bicycle tire on, let's say, a typical 20-speed bike or something is maybe 60 PSI or more, or 70 PSI in some cases.
But your car tire is only 35 PSI. So yes, you can pump up your car tire with a foot bicycle pump, and you should have one in your car.
You don't need to drive around looking for a gas station and try to find quarters to use the compressor at the gas station.
You can just do it with your feet.
And on the few occasions when I've mentioned this to people, just I don't know what's come up in conversations like, hey, you do have a bicycle pump in your car, right, to pump up your car tires.
And they look at me like I'm crazy, like, you can't pump up a car tire with the bicycle pump.
The car's too heavy, man.
And I take a long breath.
How far back in physics do I have to go here?
Should we start with 5th grade science with you?
Because you know your car is not like 1,000 PSI in the tires.
It's not inflated much at all.
35 PSI, that's not very high.
And then I go to explain, have you ever seen the John Deere tractors?
You know, big tires, right?
You know what they're inflated to?
About 20 PSI. You can pump up a tractor tire with a bicycle pump.
I mean, it takes a lot of pumps because it's a big volume of air, but the pressure's not that much.
And people are like, that's crazy.
Why is the pressure so low in the tractor tires?
And then I'm going, okay, well, hmm.
Alright, so have you ever seen a tractor that has shock absorbers on it?
And they're like, I don't know anything about a tractor.
Okay, well, they don't have shock absorbers.
You know why?
Because the tires are the shock absorbers.
They're inflated to be kind of mushy.
And kind of soft.
And so when you're driving in your John Deere tractor, you know I own John Deere tractors because I don't know.
It's something that I think is really practical.
So you're driving along in a John Deere tractor and you hit potholes in the ground that are made by wild hogs in Texas, by the way, that are rooting up wild onions.
And you hit those potholes, your shock absorber system is actually your tractor tires.
The tires are kind of mushy, which is perfect.
They're cushiony.
Partially inflated, you see.
Soft.
So you can pump up tractor tires.
You can pump up car tires.
You can also pump up bicycle tires with a bicycle pump.
I mean, for less than $20, a piece of hardware, you just put it in the trunk of your car, and it could save you on almost any long trip.
And, by the way, although this is not a prepping podcast, but I'll go ahead and add this in.
The other thing that you might want to carry is a little tire plug kit and then a tire flat filler goo that you pump into the tire.
I mean, I live on a ranch in Texas, so we're fixing tires all the time, and I guess this has become second nature.
But even out on the road, if you drive over a nail...
And you pull the nail out of your tire like, man, this sucker's got a hole in it.
Now I gotta call a tow truck.
No, you don't actually, it turns out.
All you gotta do, all you gotta do, pull the nail out, tire goes flat.
And then you have a tire plug kit.
It's got a little gooey plug, a little glue sticky gooey plug.
And it's got a tool.
These kits are like 20 bucks.
And you just shove that plug in there with this special tool and then your hole is sealed and then you take out your bicycle pump and then you pump up that tire and you're back on the road.
It takes maybe 10 minutes to do the whole thing and you don't need a tow truck.
Now, depending on where your tire breaks down, You might have to defend yourself.
You might have to dodge bullets if you're in the bad part of LA or, you know, it's dangerous out there in certain places.
You might have to have one person literally ride shotgun, you know, with a shotgun.
It's like, cover me while I fix the flat, you know.
But you can get back on the road in just minutes.
So get yourself a tire plug kit.
And get yourself a bicycle pump.
Keep your cars and trucks and tractors running.
It's easier than you think.
Oh, and one final question people might ask.
Is that tire plug?
Is that going to work?
Because you've got the whole weight of the car on the tires.
It's just going to blow out the plug.
Nope.
I've driven like 70,000 miles.
I mean, way beyond the life of a tire with a tire that has a plug in it.
And the plug's fine.
Actually, the tread wears out first on the tire, so maybe not 70,000.
Maybe more like 40,000.
But, you know, I put a lot of miles on plugged tires.
I've never had the plug fail.
All right, so in medical news, the FDA has now approved eye drops that replace reading glasses.
That's right.
This is from themindunleashed.com.
The FDA has authorized eye drops that could replace reading glasses for millions of people.
The drops are known as pilocarpine, sold by a pharma company called Allergan.
Yeah, Allergan.
Allergan.
Under the name Vuity, which sounds pretty close to voodoo, by the way.
Vuity.
And apparently one drop in each eye.
Can enhance your close eyesight for 6 to 10 hours, and it does it by shrinking your pupil.
And, of course, when you shrink your pupil, it enhances the depth of focus, so you can focus at different ranges.
It can help you read especially things that are close to you.
The only problem is that the two most common side effects are headaches and burning eyes.
It's like, oh, the world finally came into focus, but God, it hurts!
Oh, I can finally read if it weren't for the skull-crushing pain between my ears, you know?
Thank you, Dr.
No, these aren't tears of joy.
My eyes, they're killing me!
I just love it.
It's just, seriously...
It's like, oh, take this vaccine to save your life, and it might kill you, which is normal.
Here, take these eye drops to improve your vision.
Except your eyes might have a burning sensation when you're using them.
It's like, what?
I thought this was supposed to improve my life.
Oh, and it's $80 a month, which...
It's, what, almost $3 a day, and it's just one drop in each eye, so it's like $1.50 per drop?
What if you miss your eyeball, you know?
Try to drop in your eyes, it's not always easy.
You miss your eyeballs, like, boom, $1.50, just gone.
Hmm.
I wonder what the long-term side effects might be as well.
It's like, yeah, it helped me read for six months, and then I started seeing magical elves everywhere, you know?
Oh, dude, that wasn't the FDA-approved drop.
You got a hold of a different bottle from the medicine cabinet.
We talked about that yesterday.
By the way, remember that story from yesterday, people tripping on DMT and encountering magical elves?
You know, it became clear to me, I'm pretty sure the whole Christmas story had to be created by somebody who was on drugs.
Had to be, because they have little elves in the workshop.
That's all the North Pole.
And then there's this jolly fat guy wearing red with white cuffs.
And what is that?
What's that color?
Oh, it's certain types of psychedelic mushrooms, I think, have that same color, don't they?
I think somebody was tripping out on shrooms and he just came up with the whole Santa Claus and the elves and the flying reindeer, the chimney and everything.
It sounds exactly like a drug-induced tripezoid situation, doesn't it?
The whole mythology of Santa Claus is like a bad trip.
So I think it's so funny about this because when I occasionally talk about, you know, extraterrestrial AI systems or things like that, and to people who aren't used to hearing about these things, you know, they flip out.
It's like, what?
What an odd thing to talk about.
Why are you talking about off-world technology?
Quantum supercomputers built by non-human civilizations?
That's the strangest thing ever.
And then those same people turn around and tell their kids...
Okay, we got a fat dude wearing red with an anti-gravity sleigh.
And the thrust system or magical reindeer fly across the sky, landing on people's roofs, sliding down the chimney, even though the dude's probably too big in the circumference to fit down the chimney.
And he does this to all the people everywhere across the world all in one night.
It's like...
It's like an Amazon.com, Amazon Prime, times a billion.
Magically, all these packages appear everywhere.
And sure enough, the milk and cookies are gone.
You can count on that happening.
I mean, no wonder kids' brains are all messed up from all this stuff.
You know?
The average kid grows up thinking that bunny rabbits lay eggs because of all the Easter nonsense.
Yeah, rabbits are laying eggs!
What?
No, rabbits don't have eggs.
They have live births to baby rabbits.
Rabbits are mammals, folks.
Chickens lay eggs, and chickens hide eggs all over the place.
I know that firsthand.
Every once in a while, I'll discover an egg.
Wow, that's a whole new spot right there.
And there'll be like five or six eggs.
Good thing I found them, you know?
So yeah, for me, every day is Easter.
It's like hunting for eggs, but I've never seen a rabbit lay eggs.
Tooth fairy, you know?
Put the tooth under your pillow!
Fairy will come!
And the kid's like, what kind of fairy?
The tooth fairy!
And if the kid is smart, he's like, why does the tooth fairy need teeth?
Is this a bone-collecting fairy?
That's kind of morbid.
Do they collect other bones, or is it just teeth?
I mean, do they collect jawbones?
Do they collect skulls?
Is it just like a creepy, demonic skull-collecting fairy?
Why are you letting her into our home?
But no, you're just supposed to accept it.
Tripping Santa, anti-gravity sleds, magical flying reindeer, bone-collecting evil fairies, whatever.
You know, egg-laying rabbits.
I mean, no wonder kids are all twisted.
And don't even get me started on Halloween.
That is a psychotic, demonic holiday, if there ever was one.
Like, let's set up, like, dead people in our yard!
And give out candy!
The children dressed like dead people!
And scare people with zombies and ghosts and ghouls and skeletons.
And it's a celebration of what?
Of death, it seems like.
That's Halloween.
Unreal.
But getting back to Christmas, the Salvation Army is now apparently facing a holiday shortage of donations after they told white people they should confess their racism every time they make a donation.
And so they've issued a new plea saying, quote, the situation is dire.
Yeah, the Salvation Army, which probably needs to be, you need to rearrange the letters of Salvation more like Slave Nation Army.
That's really what they are, because they're a bunch of woke-tard lunatics.
And they had issued a guide called the Let's Talk About Racism that said that white donors should, quote, sincerely apologize for being white.
And then they wonder, how come these people aren't giving us money?
So just a word to the Salvation Army or Slave Nation Army.
You know most of your donors are probably white people, right?
So maybe you shouldn't call them racists when they're actually the generous people who have been donating to you.
Even though you have a, you know, a drug-tripping Santa Claus ringing a bell.
Some kind of weird homage to DMT elves and everything, but whatever.
People still gave you money.
Maybe you shouldn't call them racist.
And they even kind of implied that Christianity itself is institutionally racist.
Like, Christianity is bad, according to the Salvation Army, which is supposed to be a Christian-oriented group.
It's like, wow, wow.
Well, I have a question for you.
Over all the years that you've dropped dollars and quarters into the Salvation Army bell-ringing pots, have you ever actually heard of the Salvation Army doing anything useful with that money other than paying their own salaries and bonuses?
Ever heard of anything?
Because I can't think of a single thing that the Salvation Army has done other than insult white people and Christians.
I'll tell you what, folks.
You want to help people in the world?
It's not about dropping dollars into bell-ringing pots.
It's about fighting for liberty and freedom.
You want to help the most people in the world?
Defend freedom.
Fight for freedom.
Because tyranny is what makes people suffer.
Impoverishment.
It comes from money printing and corrupt government.
I mean, an honest money system would end human suffering on a scale like we've never seen.
It's crazy that we are dropping fiat currency paper money bills into Salvation Army pots.
While we're all being looted by that same central bank that's printing those dollars, the Salvation Army has to go out even if they decide to do something good with it, which is highly doubtful.
They would have to buy inflated food, you know, price inflated food using these fiat currency dollars and then hand it out to people who probably lost their jobs because they were fired for not getting vaccinated, which is another government policy.
Hey, you You want to end suffering?
End big government and central banks and money printing.
You're going to solve most of the world's problems right there.
You don't even need a bell.
You don't need a pot.
You don't even need to donate anything.
You just need to defend the structure of liberty.
That's it.
The answer is so simple.
But I'm really glad the Salvation Army is incredibly confused this year.
I can just see the board meetings as the horrible news is like, why did the money stop coming in?
It's Christmas.
What happened?
Where's all the money?
Well, we tried insulting the donors, and for some reason, they stopped giving us money.
We don't understand it.
It's like, hey, welcome to the free market of ideas, and your ideas are bad ones.
I'm sure they'll come up with a solution.
Well, we should obviously make them give us donations, you know?
Which is what...
That's basically the IRS in a nutshell.
Just coerced looting.
Of the American population.
Yeah, it's Christmas, so get out your checkbook and write a big fat check to the same government that's stealing from you every time they print money.
All right, we're going to get into the global cooling situation and of course the Tether lawsuit and much more.
The sponsor for today is the Treasure Island Coins, Precious Metals and Coins Company.
You can find them at brighteonmetals.com.
That's Brighteon Metals, plural, M-E-T-A-L-S, sorry,.com.
And of course, they can connect you with physical gold and silver in your hands at very honest prices, honest delivery.
They treat all of our people like VIPs.
And I talk to these folks there at Treasure Island on a regular basis and And get reports from them about what's going on and what's happening in the industry and how they're treating all of our customers.
You're going to be treated like royalty there.
Help you get squared away.
They also have IRAs, 100% IRS approved IRAs where you can sell your stocks, convert it into precious metals, gold and silver that's stored in a vault that's audited, inspected, insured that you have access to.
So you can't store the metal at home.
The IRS has ruled that that's not allowable, but you can store it in these audited vaults, and that way you can protect your retirement funds and not subject them to the risk of dollar collapse or stock market collapse or treasury collapse or what have you.
So give them a call.
Find them at brighteonmetals.com and ask them about their silver IRAs.
All right.
All right.
If you haven't noticed, we're entering a phase of global cooling.
So we have not only the grand solar minimum that we've entered now, which means the sun is emitting less radiation, and the planet is actually going to go into a cooling phase.
We're going to have colder winters.
We're going to have colder summers on average.
It doesn't take much in terms of a change in temperature to cause global famine and crop failures.
But adding to this now, we have active volcanoes all around the world.
The Ring of Fire is going crazy.
We have earthquakes that are going off like crazy.
And if you go look at just the active volcanoes right now, There are dozens of active volcanoes around the world.
I'm looking at a site called VolcanoDiscovery.com and it lists erupting volcanoes.
And this list includes...
Pinatubo.
Yeah, Mount Pinatubo.
That's in the Philippines.
Kanlaon Fukutoku Okanoba.
That's in Japan.
Fukutoku Okanoba.
I think I said that to some guy one time accidentally and he didn't like it.
Nishino Shima.
That's in Japan.
Kikai Aso...
Yeah, there's a volcano called Aso.
And Kuchinarubijima.
I'm serious.
These are volcano names, okay?
All around the world.
The Shivaluk, Karimski, Sakurajima, Suwanosejima, and Taalan Besmiani.
These are great.
Go over to Indonesia.
More volcanoes.
Dukono, Ibu, Morapi, Semuru, Yeah, this is like a linguistics lesson all around the world.
In other regions, there is Eribus, and there's actually a volcano named Michael that is erupting in the South Sandwich Islands in the UK. I guess that's where you load up on a drive-thru if you're hungry.
Sailing along there.
Hey, you think we could swing through the South Sandwich Islands?
I'm kind of hungry right now.
Nope, it's cut off.
There's an active volcano named Michael.
I'm like, wow, this sounds like the Santa Claus story, actually, but whatever.
All right, in Iceland, we have Askja Grimvården.
I'm not mocking the language.
I just can't speak.
I can't pronounce it.
La Palma, I already mentioned that.
Stromboli in Italy.
I thought that was a dish at the Italian restaurant, actually.
I like to order a large stromboli.
Sorry, that one's erupting.
There's actually a volcano in Italy called Vulcano.
It's like nobody could figure out what to name it.
Right?
It's like calling your car La Car in France, which I think was actually a car made in France.
La Car.
Yeah, we get it.
Okay, it's a volcano named Volcano.
Very creative.
Clever Italians.
Alright, and then there's Kilauea, that's Hawaii.
Yasur, Kodavar, Manam, that's in Papua New Guinea.
Manam, Ulaun, Magana, that's in the Bougainville Island of Papua New Guinea.
Maona Loa, that's the big island.
Fernandina, that's the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.
I didn't know that was erupting.
Langila and White Island.
Which, of course, has volcano privilege.
So, let's see.
Great Sitkin is erupting.
And there's also Erta Ale, Nerangongo, Neamonanguera.
You get the point.
I'm not going to try to pronounce all these things.
But all these volcanoes are erupting all over the world right now.
And this is more than normal.
It's more earthquakes than usual, more volcanoes.
And So according to some sources, there has now been so much volcanic, well, particulate matter ejected into the atmosphere, and some of it's like 50 miles high, so we're talking stratosphere, that there is a global dimming effect, and this coming summer could be as much as two degrees cooler, and that's in centigrade Celsius.
And that's a lot, because the Celsius degrees are bigger than Fahrenheit degrees, right?
Bigger chunks.
So two degrees Celsius cooler across the planet, if that's what happens, that's pretty catastrophic, by the way, for food production.
So we're talking about crop failures all around the world.
I mean, not a total wipeout, but...
Crop suppression, I should say.
Harvest won't be what they used to be because we're going into global cooling unless sunlight is reaching the surface of the Earth, which is exactly what Bill Gates was trying to achieve with Project Scopex.
Remember that?
They were going to fly planes at high altitude and drop all this stuff into the atmosphere.
Turns out all they needed to do was wait for a bunch of volcanoes to erupt, including Volcano Vulcano in Italy, the most non-creative volcano ever named.
All right.
Now, but the, what is it?
La Cumbre Vieja is putting out a lot of material right now.
So the La Palma eruption is, by many measures, the largest eruption in the last 20 years in terms of the volume of material that it is ejecting into the atmosphere.
So that alone is just massive.
A lot of these other volcanoes are, you know, erupting, but they're just kind of Spewing a little bit of lava.
It's like burping magma.
And it's not such a big deal.
But Cumre Vieja is putting out some major mass into the atmosphere.
Now, on top of this then, Germany has decided to shut off Russia's new energy pipeline called Nord Stream 2.
Now, what you need to know about Nord Stream 2, and I want to bring up a map for you on this because we have to understand geography in order to understand the politics of energy.
So if you take a look at this map, this is from worldoil.com, you'll notice that the pipeline, the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which is the Orange dotted line.
You notice something very interesting.
It goes from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea.
Yes, that's right.
It does not go through Ukraine or Belarus or Poland or any other countries.
It goes direct from Russia to Germany, to Greifswald there.
Now, Germany has an energy shortage in a huge way.
They need this natural gas.
And Russia...
It needs to export natural gas in order to earn money.
This is a big part of its economy, is exporting energy.
And Ukraine, there are pipelines that go through Ukraine, and Ukraine charges transit fees for those pipelines.
So in a given year, Ukraine, Ukrainian government, or I should say the transit pipeline industry that is kind of working with government, they will make something like $3 billion, $3.5 billion a year in transit fees.
So Ukraine doesn't necessarily want Russia to have this pipeline direct to Germany that bypasses Ukraine because Ukraine wants to get, you know, they want to charge tolls basically for the gas that moves through Ukraine.
But Russia wants this pipeline to bypass Ukraine and also given the turmoil in eastern Ukraine because of the conflict between NATO and Russia.
This alternative pipeline would provide a way to move energy to Germany without the risk of, you know, strife or kinetic warfare, things like that.
So Germany has basically canceled.
Well, not entirely canceled, but they've halted this pipeline.
So a German minister says the Nord Stream 2 authorization has been stopped for noncompliance with EU law.
So what does that mean, non-compliance?
Well, it means they just haven't bribed all the right people, all the right ministers and so on and regulators.
That's all it means.
So there's going to be some Bitcoin flying their way and then everything will be fully compliant, you know, soon, if they can pay them enough.
But in the meantime, this is shut down.
So what it means is that Germany, and therefore this has ripple effects throughout Europe, is not going to be able to get this natural gas from Russia anytime soon.
Now, why is natural gas important to Europe?
What does this have to do with global cooling?
Well, remember we talked about this before.
Natural gas is used to create fertilizers.
Fertilizers are used, obviously, to grow food.
But remember, there's this chemical process called the Haber process that converts hydrocarbons from fossil fuels into ammonium or NH3. So what they do, just to remind you what this is, so they take hydrocarbons, which is, you know, the H, hydrogen, and then they combine it with nitrogen that's taken out of the atmosphere because the atmosphere is about 79% nitrogen.
And N plus H, and this isn't the full chemical equation, by the way.
You got to get the ratios right.
But N, some amount of nitrogen and some amount of hydrogen, you combine it and boom, you get NH3, which is ammonia.
So, you know, three hydrogens to one nitrogen.
That's the ratio.
NH3. And then this NH3, the ammonia, is the basis for all the fertilizers and other products like urea and so on.
And, you know, things to feed crops and greenhouses and everything.
So without the natural gas, you don't have the fertilizer.
And this is why fertilizer production plants have been shutting down all across Europe, especially in the UK, over the last several months because of the energy shortage.
Because much of Europe, including Germany in particular, has gone over to wind energy and solar energy.
And those things aren't working out like they thought.
So they need this pipeline more than anybody.
Otherwise, they're not going to do very well.
With food production, especially as what?
Oh, the globe cools because of the volcanoes.
So the volcanoes are dimming the sun.
And which areas of the world, do you suppose, are most vulnerable to small changes in temperature?
Like which regions of the world are just barely, barely have enough food growing time?
Well, that would be, you know, Sweden, Denmark, Germany.
The northern European countries are just barely in regions where they can grow enough food.
And more of, let's say, southern Western Europe, like let's say southern France, southern Italy, south Spain, and so on, they're warmer and they have the benefit of warm ocean air currents, by the way, that helps warm.
That's why you have all the grapes and the wineries and everything in southern France and so on.
But you get away from the ocean and it gets very cold.
You start dropping temperatures a couple of degrees centigrade and things get very bad, especially if you have no energy to heat your greenhouses and no energy to make fertilizer.
Boom!
Food production is just clobbered.
So, with that being the case, you can now expect massive food shortages across Europe throughout 2022.
Add that to your little collection of horrifying scenarios that are coming.
There's going to be massive food scarcity in Europe.
Now, at the same time, fertilizer prices are increasing substantially across North America as well, and in Asian nations and Australia in particular.
And so farmers are going to have to pay a lot more and there are supply shortages in fertilizer.
So food production in other nations and other continents, not just Europe, but elsewhere around the world is also going to be strongly suppressed.
And the food that is produced is going to be priced much higher.
Now, you may have noticed we're going to get into the financial section here soon that the price index has jumped up almost 10 percent year over year.
I forgot what month that's for, but we'll get to it here.
Oh, here it is.
Biden inflation producer price index rises by 9.6 percent, way worse than expected.
OK.
I think that's last November to this November.
Almost 10%.
And you know the government is downplaying that.
It's really more than 20%.
Way more than 20%.
So where do you think it's going to go next year?
From where we are now to this time next year, it could easily be another 20, 30, or 40% price increases in food.
Now you're getting to the point where, you know, seven meals away from a revolution, social unrest, that kind of scenario.
Yeah, that's kind of where this is all headed.
But we'll get to that.
I just want to bring it up to speed.
Global cooling, I mean, volcanoes have everything to do with food production.
Make sure you connect these in your mind.
The more volcanoes erupt, The more sunlight is blocked, which means the fewer crops you get, crop yields go down.
And that effect lasts for a year or two.
At least one year, sometimes the second year, depending on how bad it is.
So, in fact, this has been tied to famines and mass die-offs throughout world history, going back, you know, centuries, by the way, big volcanoes going off.
All right, now, changing the subject here, moving on to liberty, freedom.
There was an interesting, I don't know, some group put out an analysis that said that Google is the search engine that censors the most, quote, conspiracy theories.
And the search engine that does not censor the so-called conspiracy theories, the one that's the best at not censoring them is Yandex, Y-A-N-D-E-X, which I didn't even know about.
And so this study, they're trying to discredit Yandex.
And in their list of so-called conspiracy theories, I don't remember exactly what they were searching for, but if you believe that the vaccines are dangerous, that's supposed to be a conspiracy theory.
Or if you believe there's a depopulation agenda on planet Earth, oh, it's a conspiracy theory.
So In other words, everything that the mainstream calls a conspiracy theory, almost everything, is just absolute truth.
Or that the election was rigged in 2020, for example, right?
They say that's a conspiracy.
No, that's a fact.
The election was rigged.
So it turns out if you want to know the truth about all these things, you might want to use Yandex as your search engine.
I'm going to check it out and just see what it's all about.
I've been using DuckDuckGo typically.
I do not use any Google products.
All right, now, also on the liberty topic, Australia is now rounding up people who have no symptoms and who test negative for COVID, and they're being taken to the camps anyway.
And this is reported by ABC in Australia, ABC News.
So they have a story about this guy who was just picked up.
Actually, here, I'm going to read some of this for you because this is mind-blowing.
All right, this dude named Sean Ferguson.
Here it is.
Check this story.
He was browsing the plants at a local nursery last Tuesday, and then he received a text message.
He says, at about 1130 that night, I got a text message from the SA Health.
I guess that's the Southern Australia Health.
Saying that I'd been to a potential exposure site for the Omicron strain, right?
Now, he was playing with the Venus fly traps, and then they said, oh, you might have Omicron.
Now, how do they know this?
Because they're tracking his location by his phone.
So now the government's spying on you, as we know.
As per the instructions, Mr.
Ferguson immediately got tested.
An SA Health employee called him the next day and told him that he could isolate at home.
With his husband.
Whoa!
Oh, okay.
This is a gay couple.
All right.
Either that or they have a problem with pronouns here in the story.
Okay.
So gay Sean Ferguson.
Not that that matters.
Gay people aren't immune to Omicron either.
All right.
He's out shopping for plants.
Now that even makes more sense.
And he's told he can isolate at home.
Okay.
He was told that if he tested negative, he could be released out of isolation after seven days.
Because he had been fully vaccinated.
Okay, so you got the story here.
So the guy has been fully vaccinated, which is supposed to protect you.
They monitor his phone while he's shopping for plants at a nursery.
And they say, you might have been around somebody that had Omicron.
Even though you're vaccinated, you have to be tested for And apparently, we're going to take you to a quarantine camp anyway, even though you're vaccinated.
So Sean here, that's his name, right?
Sean, yeah.
Sean says, after five minutes, the employee came back and said, I'm really sorry.
I've given you some false information because it's the Omicron variant, and they are not necessarily happy for you to be isolating at home with your husband.
And they're going to consider putting you in a Medi hotel, which is a COVID quarantine camp.
He was then told to wait for another phone call.
A few hours later, Mr.
Ferguson said he had received an email telling him to isolate for seven days.
I replied to the email asking if somebody could call me.
And within the next hour, he received another phone call from the health helpline.
Basically said I needed to ignore the email because it might have been false information.
Okay, this is getting good.
Welcome to, you know, government efficiency.
So I waited all night, no phone call, no direction, he says.
And then he received a text message from SA Health telling him to prepare to be transported to a Medi hotel in the morning.
So 8 o'clock in the morning, the bus arrived with the police picking me up to take me to the hotel quarantine, he said.
And then there were three other people on the bus, including a woman who was also at the plant shop.
She said, I never go anywhere.
I'm fully vaccinated.
I just decided to go there and get this cat brush, and now look what happens.
I'm in quarantine.
She said the other people on the bus were confused about what was happening.
Yeah, you're living under a totalitarian, a tyrannical medical police state.
Of course it's confusing.
They also got last-minute directions as to what was going to be happening with them.
I was very confused, very uncertain.
All right, then the bus arrives at the Pullman Hotel.
Mr.
Ferguson says they had to wait 10 minutes while the hotel went into its red zone mode.
Red zone.
Red zone.
What is the secret of Silent Green?
It's like a science fiction movie.
They locked the whole hotel down, he says, and surrounding areas.
Like, the parking lot is now a biohazard zone because Gay Sean was shopping for Venus flytraps at the local nursery.
So they have gates that we had to enter.
He says, police were all around the area, you know, probably with automatic weapons and like an anti-terrorist response team in case there's an anti-vaxxer on the bus.
Those are my comments, not from the story.
Um...
It continues, once they lock into a red zone, it means no one can travel between certain floors while they let people in.
You're confined to your floor.
Because obviously you're a biohazard shopping for plants.
All right, he said he was given a replacement face mask before being instructed to speak to a police officer stationed at the hotel who asked him a few questions and took his driver's license.
This just gets better.
Welcome to Australia.
Then they said, after they escorted him to his room, they said the door is to remain shut unless food is being delivered or they are coming to test you.
So this is a prison.
This is a prison, right?
It's like there's a slot they open up, they shove a food tray in there.
Prisoner 75.
Return the tray when you're done.
So there's no windows that can be opened, no balcony, no fresh air.
You're stuck with air con the whole time and no real sunlight.
And then he says, apart from that, the room is quite nice, which is something that a gay person might say.
But the curtains, they were really matching.
Dude, you're living in a prison cell.
Stop doing a fashion test, please.
The carpet matched the wallpaper.
Who cares?
Not to say, I mean, I'm not criticizing people for being gay, and they are really good at fashion.
And, you know, color perception and home decoration.
Like, you want to know how to make your house look awesome or your apartment look awesome?
Like, ask a gay guy.
How can this look better?
And he'll go, oh, first you have to start with this, you know, and then just go through everything.
And it'll be awesome.
It'll be like fully gayed out, awesome, super cool apartment.
You're like, whoa, this is amazing.
But they can't turn that off, so they do this even when they go into the quarantine centers, you know?
Like, you know, they can't leave the fashion oversight in the hallway.
It comes with them.
So get this from the story.
Mr.
Ferguson said he had always followed the rules, and he wanted to protect those who were vulnerable in the community from catching COVID. Yeah, see...
Word of advice to Sean Ferguson?
Nothing against you, buddy, but you cannot comply your way out of tyranny, it turns out.
And actually, you've just discovered that the hard way.
So they...
Oh, Mr.
Ferguson, I didn't even know this, who is a hairdresser and owns his own salon.
Okay, it all fits.
He said his quarantine had already had a significant financial impact on his business and loss of clients.
Well, of course, because you can't comply your way out of tyranny.
And I'm sorry that this happened to you, Sean, Mr.
Ferguson.
Nothing against you at all.
You're a victim of this.
In a just world, you should be free.
To work at your salon.
You should be free to shop for plants.
You didn't do anything wrong.
You followed the rules, just like you said.
It doesn't matter under medical tyranny.
And I don't know what you should have done differently.
Obviously, they brought police to your house.
If you refused to go, they probably would have beat you and then taken you anyway.
So I don't know.
I don't know what the right answer is in Australia.
It probably starts with maybe not giving up all your guns 15 years ago whenever that happened in the Australian people.
They were hoodwinked by that false flag mass shooting, and then they were convinced to turn in all their guns because the government will protect you.
And now the government is murdering you and taking you to COVID death camps.
So rule number one, kind of a reminder for Americans, don't give up your guns.
Government will not protect you.
Government is your enemy, especially in Australia.
They're coming to kill you.
They're coming to take you away.
Literally.
That's not even a joke anymore.
It's not a conspiracy theory.
They're coming to round you up and throw you into concentration camps, as they did to Sean Ferguson here.
Man, I wonder.
You know what I really wonder is how many people go into these camps and never leave.
See, Sean Ferguson got out.
He should consider himself lucky.
How many people did not leave and we've never heard from them again?
Hmm.
Depopulation agenda.
Is active.
All right.
And by the way, I didn't mean to imply that shopping for plants means you're gay because I get super excited shopping for plants.
And, you know, I don't think that makes me gay.
I mean, I love plants.
I spend all day in a nursery buying all kinds of different succulents and different kind of little food crops and herbs and spices.
I love it.
Man, I mean, I grow food in the hydroponic systems.
I get all excited about a couple of strawberries in there.
Whoa!
These are my own strawberries.
Can't wait.
So, you know, yeah, maybe I'm a little bit I don't think that's gay or straight.
I just think that's human.
Just to love plants.
I mean, we're supposed to be close to nature.
We're supposed to live in nature.
We are of this earth.
It's not a gay thing.
It's just a human thing, as far as I can tell.
Love plants and love trees.
Some people say, well, they make fun of tree huggers.
Man, there's nothing wrong with touching tree bark, by the way.
There's nothing wrong with going around walking in nature and just touching nature.
It's actually kind of a sensory reminder to be anchored in the real world.
I was talking about it yesterday.
You should take walks in nature.
You should enjoy nature.
Observe nature.
Listen to the sounds of the birds and the crickets.
You know, like a summer night in Texas where I live.
Man, it's a symphony of frogs and crickets and occasionally large birds.
I'm talking about at night.
And, oh, little bat squeaky sounds.
I love to hear the bats flying around.
They're doing the little sonar thing.
That's what they sound like to me, but higher frequency.
And they're just zipping around.
Man, it's amazing.
It's better than anything that man has ever created.
So just contact with nature is a human thing.
So I think it's great that this guy was out buying plants.
That's awesome.
I don't think it makes me weird that I get all excited when seeds start sprouting.
Recently, I planted a couple of bins of kale and lettuce and everything.
And they started sprouting yesterday.
I was like, oh my god, this kale is sprouting!
You know, I get all excited.
And maybe people would make fun of that.
Oh my god, what a wussy this guy is.
He's getting all excited about kale seeds.
Yeah, man.
You know why?
Yeah.
Because I drink that in my smoothies and kale's got protein and anti-cancer nutrients and everything.
You're not going to be laughing when you're in a food line with your mark of the beast biometric requirement and your food quota system and they won't even let you into the grocery store because you're not vaccinated.
You're not going to be laughing.
You're going to be begging for kale.
You're going to be lining up wanting to buy kale from people like me who are growing it, you know?
Don't mock the people who grow food.
You might need them.
All right, moving on.
Different topic here, but still under the subject of liberty.
I got to give kudos to Rumble today.
Rumble, you know, the video platform.
And Rumble put out a press release yesterday.
They announced the termination of their advertising relationship with the Unruly Group and Tremor International after these groups attempted to censor Dan Bongino.
And Rumble is saying that this is reaffirming their commitment to free speech and free and open internet by hosting a variety of viewpoints on topics of public interest.
So there's a statement from the Rumble CEO Chris Pawlowski says that Rumble basically saying that Tremor attempted to censor Bongino by removing advertisements from his websites and from Rumble's hosted video player...
And this was over so-called, quote, fake COVID information that was the source of complaints.
And this advertiser apparently expected Rumble to bow down to the demands of some anonymous censors.
And then Tremor, whatever company this is, wanted ads removed from Bongino's pages, even though YouTube and many other sites monetized Bongino's content.
So...
Rumble canceled these two advertisers, basically gave them the finger and said, we're going to support freedom of speech.
We're going to support Dan Bongino.
And that's that.
Okay, so a couple of comments on this.
Number one, I'm glad to see this because I was a little concerned about Rumble.
There are a few instances of certain types of censorship.
That they've engaged in, although it might be just due to the legal environment of Canada.
Although I think Rumble's now moving...
I think it's moving his business entity to Florida, if I'm not mistaken.
I'd have to double-check that.
So they may have been forced into some censorship.
That's possible.
But this reaffirms that Rumble appears to be on the right side of free speech here.
Now, I know Dan Bongino is a special...
You know, high-level person in the ecosystem of Rumble and Trump Social and Parler and Fox News and all that.
So maybe Dan Bongino is getting special treatment that wouldn't apply to other people.
But I'm going to give Rumble the benefit of the doubt here and say that, you know, I may have misjudged Rumble.
This looks really strong, a real strong affirmation of their commitment to free speech.
And I strongly hope and pray that they stay strongly committed to freedom.
And as long as they do so, I will support them and advocate their platform, even though you could technically say that my platform, Brighteon, might be a competing platform, but I don't think of things that way.
We're not competitors.
We're all actually on the same team, team humanity.
We're trying to promote freedom of speech and the sharing of important ideas for humanity.
And That requires the freedom to speak.
So there's Rumble, there's Bitchute, there's Odyssey, there's Brighteon, there's...
I don't know who all else is out there.
There's a lot of platforms that are pro-freedom, and I support them all.
As long as they stick to that.
Well, of course, there's Gab.
I forgot to mention Gab.
Andrew Torba is a free speech purist, and he has really set a great example, by the way, of free speech and fighting for freedom and not compromising.
See, my concern with Rumble, and again, I'm backing away from this, but my concern was that as they were getting involved in going public and having the financialization of their property Typically what happens to companies is they bend to the pressure of advertisers and they begin censoring content in order to appease advertisers in order to get more revenue and keep their shareholders happy.
I've seen that happen many times.
And that was my concern that Rumble might have been going that direction, but that appears to be not the case.
I mean, obviously we'll see what happens, but Rumble appears to be reaffirming its commitment to free speech despite ad revenue.
So you see, this is where it matters.
I mean, anybody can say, oh, I support free speech.
That's fine.
But do you support free speech when you own a company and there's $500 million at stake?
Do you still support free speech if you lose half a billion dollars?
See, that's the question most people are never really forced into answering.
But Rumble is probably going to be in that position pretty soon, and they're going to have to choose a side.
You either choose freedom or you choose more revenues.
If you choose freedom, you're going to have lower revenues.
Let's see if they make that choice consistently.
I know I've made that choice with Brighton.
You know, we're committed to freedom of speech.
And as a result, we're never going to have high-dollar advertisers, and we don't want them.
We don't need them.
Especially, we don't want big pharma advertisers or any of these woke-tard corporations advertising.
We don't want Nike and these scammy brands that run, you know, child slave factories in Asia and whatever.
Ah, not interested.
Don't want your dirty, filthy money.
You screwball corporations, no.
Sorry.
Don't need it.
Money doesn't matter.
What matters is freedom.
And, you know, ethics, morality.
So that's what I'm using to judge other platforms.
Maybe judge isn't the right term.
You know, let's say to assess other platforms.
I look at Andrew Torba, and I see he's always making the right decision on freedom of speech.
And I look at Bitchute, and they support freedom of speech from what I can tell.
And, you know, just all over all these different platforms, it's all about freedom, as far as I'm concerned.
That's my, you know, grade card for the other platforms.
That's also a grade card for my own platform as well.
Are we supporting freedom?
Absolutely.
Every day.
Freedom to speak, freedom to debate, freedom to have ideas.
I always cite, for example, the Flat Earth content that's on Brighteon.com.
Even though I disagree with the conclusions, it doesn't matter.
Why shouldn't the Flat Earth people be able to argue their points of view?
They're passionate about their topics.
They have very enlivened and entertaining conversations about their points of view.
And of course they have the right to speak, even if you don't agree with their conclusions.
So we have channels on Brighton that are pro-Bitcoin and others that are anti-Bitcoin.
It's the same thing.
I guess some people are pro-pharma, but most of the content there is maybe anti-vaccine, let's say.
But there's probably pro-vaccine channels on there.
I don't know.
I haven't seen them.
But we wouldn't ban them just for being pro-vaccine.
If they want to argue that, go for it.
I would imagine, though, before long, all the pro-vaccine channels might stop posting because their channel creators would be dead.
Say, hey, what happened to all these pro-vaccine channels?
Well...
Well, antibody-dependent enhancement kicked in, and for some reason, they stopped posting.
Hmm.
What are the odds?
All right, let's get into some finance issues here.
So here we go.
Let's see.
Congress is going to hike the debt limit by $2.5 trillion.
Yeah, with a T. To extend the borrowing past midterm elections.
That's from the Washington Examiner.
And Fox Business here is reporting that Americans...
What is this?
Americans' inflation expectations soar to new highs as consumer prices surge.
So consumers have a strong expectation of rising prices, probably because they're seeing prices rise.
You can't hide it from them when they have to pay at the grocery store.
All right, then getting to the story I mentioned earlier about Bidenflation.
The producer price index rose by a record 9.6%, far worse than expected.
That's year over year for goods and services.
That's November, November of this year versus November 2020.
The Labor Department reported these numbers.
And let's see, prices are up 14.9%.
Wait a minute.
The final demand goods component of the producer price index It rose 1.2% compared with October.
Oh, that's month over month, 1.2%.
But over 12 months, it rose 14.9%.
That's what's being reported here by Breitbart.
So how do they get 9.6%?
I don't know.
Okay, prices are up 14.9%, they say.
Well, they're really in most of the things that people buy, food, fuel, used vehicles, housing, things like that.
They're actually up way more than 15%, folks.
It's like 25%.
All right, and then there was a story out of The Guardian.
This is kind of interesting.
The headline is, and by the way, we're going to analyze this, so don't just believe the headline right off the bat, but the headline is, Bitcoin could become worthless, Bank of England warns.
The people investing in the cryptocurrency should be aware of risks, Central Bank says.
What's funny to me is there's a central bank that's printing fiat currency.
If they were going to have an honest story about all of this, shouldn't the Bank of England warn that the British pound is going to become worthless or the EU is going to become worthless?
The euro currency or the dollar is going to become worthless.
Those are certain statements.
All the fiat currencies are going to zero.
But they want to say, no, it's risky to invest in crypto.
Well, I mean, it is risky to invest in crypto, by the way.
And yeah, Bitcoin could be worthless at some point.
The Bank of England has said that Bitcoin could be worthless and people investing in the digital currency should be prepared to lose everything.
So what are they saying?
You should buy British currency?
That's also printed?
Come on.
All right, but the real meat of this announcement is here.
Quote, this is a report from, what is this, the Risk Assessment Department or something?
Quote, enhanced regulatory and law enforcement frameworks, both domestically and at a global level, are needed to influence developments in these fast-growing markets in order to manage risks, encourage sustainable innovation, and maintain broader trust and integrity in the financial system.
So basically, they're calling for more regulation of crypto, which itself is Is it not a horrible idea considering there's a lot of fraud in the crypto system?
A lot of fraud.
You know, a lot of scammers and con artists and freaky things happening with stablecoins and so on.
But with this regulatory oversight, we're going to see, I think, we're going to see a crash of the current overvalued, overhyped crypto assets.
Because once kind of the garbage is taken out on that ecosystem, there's going to be a correction down to like non-fraudulent levels that aren't just hiked up with trading bots and leveraged investments and stablecoin, digital money printing operations and things like that.
So I remember when I interviewed John Perez, he said his target for Bitcoin is $4,200.
And he may be exactly right about that.
It's like less than one-tenth of its current so-called value because 90% of Bitcoin valuation might be just a bunch of hype and a bunch of bots and a bunch of leverage and digital money printing.
So we'll see.
I mean, who knows?
Or maybe it goes to a million dollars a coin.
Nobody knows for sure, but it's going to be interesting.
Anyway, the central banks hate Bitcoin, but that's not anything new.
We knew that.
So there's an interesting quote here from Thomas Belsham, who works in the central bank's stakeholder and media engagement division.
Here's what he wrote about Bitcoin.
Quote, the problem is that unlike traditional forms of money, Bitcoin isn't used to price things other than itself.
As Bitcoiners themselves are fond of saying one Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin.
In other words, what he's saying is that, yeah, you have this simulation crypto ecosystem, but how does it translate into the real world of buying groceries or cars or land or whatever?
He said, May ultimately render Bitcoin worthless.
Quote, simple game theory tells us that a process of backward induction should really at some point induce the smart money to get out.
And were that to happen, investors really should be prepared to lose everything eventually.
He's probably right about that eventually.
All right.
Now, we'll see.
With that said, check this story out.
The IMF urges UK to give non-banks access to liquidity in market crisis.
And this was published by Reuters, or written by Reuters, and published by Euronews and a bunch of other, hundreds of other websites.
Now what's fascinating about this, I mean, think about this headline.
IMF urges UK to give non-banks access to liquidity in market crisis.
What does it mean?
It means they want to bail out the hedge funds.
They want to bail out the institutional investors.
It means they want to print money and use it to bail out all the big participants in the markets.
You know what this means, folks?
It means the crash is here.
They're just trying to paper over it now.
They're just trying to hide it from you.
But the fundamentals of the crash are already activated.
If they're saying you're going to have to bail out all the hedge funds and you're going to have to bail out all the institutional investors and so on, they're basically saying the whole market is too big to fail.
We're going to have to print money and buy everything.
Print money, buy the entire market.
Just have the central banks purchasing stocks.
That's essentially what this says.
So the headline was then changed.
And it changed across the entire internet.
Now, Reuters has this system set up where if you publish Reuters articles, when Reuters makes a correction to an article, the update kind of ripples across the sites that are publishing Reuters articles, then eventually they update their articles as well.
It's usually automatic.
So the headline that I just read you changed.
Within a few hours.
So instead of saying IMF urges UK to give non-banks access to liquidity, change to the following headline.
Quote, IMF tells UK to plug gaps in fast-growing non-bank sector.
Suddenly doesn't sound like such a big deal, does it?
Oh, now we're just plugging gaps.
You know, it went from let's bail out the hedge funds to now we're plugging gaps.
You know what that tells you?
It tells you that their original headline freaked so many people out that, you know, somebody picked up the phone to Reuters and said, you have to change this headline because this is giving out too much information.
It's telling people that the markets are done, that the cratering scenario is here.
You have to change the headline and make it less scary sounding.
And so they did.
They did.
See, the news can change, boom, right as you're watching the screen.
And by the way, there have been massive glitches yesterday in crypto pricing, and things are changing right before your very eyes.
Some of you, if you've been watching Bitcoin prices, you saw yesterday it flash crashed, so to speak, down to $32,000 a coin just for a moment.
And then it went back up to $47,000 or whatever it is.
And then there was another exchange where Bitcoin prices went up to $789 billion per coin.
So on the same day, one exchange was $32,000 a coin.
Another exchange was $789 billion a coin.
That's quite a spread right there.
You know, all of a sudden, a lot of people thought they were Bitcoin trillionaires.
And all kinds of systems were down, by the way, yesterday.
There was all kinds of cyber attacks going on.
They're getting ready for the big cyber war on the financial infrastructure.
That's what's actually happening.
This is kind of what I wanted to warn you about.
They're probing systems to see what they can change and mess with.
And by the way, there are a bunch of banks that were down in Canada, just offline, a bunch of government institutions that are getting hacked all over Canada.
I don't know why Canada is being attacked by all the cyber warriors right now for some reason.
I don't know.
Or hackers.
Yeah, this is a probing operation, and they're getting ready for the big...
Zero-day attack.
That's coming.
All right, now moving on to Tether.
There's been a class-action lawsuit filed against Tether that accuses Tether of committing criminal fraud, in essence.
Now, Tether, of course, denies this, but let me read you the story and some of the actual lawsuit.
Now, you may recall we've been talking about Tether recently.
Tether is the so-called stablecoin.
Tether originally had promised that for every coin it creates, it's backed by a dollar that the company has deposited in a bank.
Tether is a Hong Kong company.
And so it's supposed to be one-to-one.
You know, one coin is equal to $1.
The coin never changes in price.
That's why it's called a stablecoin.
And then you can deposit dollars with Tether, get a bunch of Tether coins, and then you can go run around the crypto shopping spree bonanza and you can buy Bitcoin with Tether and Ethereum with Tether and Dogecoin with Tether and so on and so forth.
All right.
But according to this lawsuit, Tether doesn't have the deposits to back its coins.
So, from this lawsuit, and this was covered by Decrypt.co, a news website, talks about how both the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the CFTC, Well, and also the New York Attorney General.
But the CFTC fined Tether $41 million for deceptive practices, and BitFindex was fined $1.5 million.
The CFTC alleged that Tether only held sufficient reserves in its accounts to back the number of Tether tokens in circulation for a little more than a quarter of the time over a 26-month period between 2016 and 2018.
But get this, four days after that fine was levied, Alex Mashinsky, the CEO of crypto lending platform Celsius, told the Financial Times that Tether issued its dollar-peg cryptocurrency as a loan in exchange for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In other words, somebody would give the Tether company some Bitcoin and Tether would create Tether coins, And use the Bitcoin as the asset instead of dollars as the actual, you know, reserve currency.
And according to this article, quote, this contravenes the company's own terms and the fundamental principles of stablecoins.
They say, in August, Tether released an assurance report conducted by auditor Moore Kamen The report revealed that almost half of Tether's reserves are in the form of commercial paper and certificates of deposit.
Only 10% comes from cash and bank deposits.
You got that only 10%.
And this was not a full audit.
This was a self-statement without anybody really looking hard into the books.
This was not an independent third-party audit.
This was a self-statement.
And even then, they admit they only have 10%.
In cash and bank deposits, which means there could be a run on Tether, seemingly, right?
If everybody wants to redeem their Tether coins, they only have enough to cover 10%, is what it sounds like, you know, at least in terms of cash and bank deposits.
So there's a lawsuit.
So this lawsuit, the plaintiffs are Matthew Anderson and Sean Dolica, They dispute Tether's claim that its cryptocurrency is backed by one-to-one dollar reserves.
And Tether said that the lawsuit has no merits and that they're going to aggressively litigate and dispense with the lawsuit.
And then they're going to apparently try to get legal fees from Anderson and Dolica.
So if you go read the actual lawsuit, which I've done, the lawsuit cites the two regulatory agencies, New York State Attorney General and the CFTC, found that Tether had misrepresented the backing of Tether tokens and that Tether did not maintain the same amount of reserves as Tether tokens found that Tether had misrepresented the backing of Tether tokens and that And at times, according to the lawsuit, Tether had no reserves whatsoever.
Further, says the lawsuit, these reserves did not contain U.S. dollars, as Tether suggested, but were a mix of other assets, such as over collateralized loans and other undisclosed commercial paper.
And as we know, some of that is almost certainly, you know, Evergrande from China or Kaiza or Fantasia Holdings or other property developers in China that are all going bankrupt.
Those are my comments.
That's not in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit does state that, to date, Tether maintains less than 4% in cash reserves and has yet to undergo a single professional audit.
So Tether's own self-statement claims they have 10% of their reserves in actual cash.
This lawsuit claims they have 4% in cash.
And I've heard numbers that are even lower than that, although I can't confirm them.
Now, again, for the record, Tether denies all this.
Tether says, oh, this is all nonsense, but then they won't submit to a legitimate third-party audit.
So if they're not willing to be audited, how can anybody trust them?
I mean, even regular banks in America are audited.
Maybe not the Federal Reserve, but banks are audited.
Businesses are audited all the time.
You know?
I mean, gosh, we're audited.
Our lab is audited every year.
Our manufacturing, our food manufacturing operation is inspected, audited by the organic certifier.
FDA shows up randomly.
He's like, we're going to test your food, you know, and we're going to check your books.
It's like, okay, here they are.
The FDA loves us, by the way.
One of their reps out here actually told us they wish every manufacturer in Texas would operate the way we did.
Because we have meticulous records of all the batch production, lot productions, everything, the scientific lab testing, all that stuff.
So we're used to being audited.
But Tether's never been audited.
Shouldn't somebody show up and say, hey, show me your assets.
Show me your deposits.
Why won't the company allow that?
Why won't the company do that themselves?
They want everybody to trust the Tether stablecoin.
Well, how stable is it?
It's only as stable as your deposits backing it.
What if your deposits aren't even 4%?
What if they're only 1%?
What if they're close to zero?
What if the Tether coin is backed by almost nothing?
That's a big question.
What if you're just printing the coin like a digital fiat currency printing machine?
You're just printing it without the deposits and then flooding that into the crypto ecosystem, driving up the prices of everything with basically currency inflation, digital cryptocurrency inflation.
And creating a giant bubble.
And I keep asking, what if there are many observers who think that's exactly what's happening?
Such as John Perez, for example, who I've interviewed on this point, and he has researched this rather meticulously.
And he thinks Bitcoin's going to $4,200 when this whole thing pops, the bust.
Is he right?
Well, we will see.
But we do know that Tether doesn't have anywhere near 100% reserves.
That's for sure.
Even they admit that.
I have a feeling there is a big kind of a come-to-Jesus moment about to happen for cryptocurrency around the world.
I have a feeling that people who bought Bitcoin at $57,000 a coin They're going to beg for eye drops that make their eyes burn because they're going to be crying so hard.
They need a cover story for it.
I took the new FDA-approved eye drops to see better.
No, it has nothing to do with the fact that I lost $5 billion in crypto.
My eyes just hurt because of the drops.
There's going to be people jumping off tall buildings.
There may even be an ammo shortage from all the people blowing their brains out because they listened to Michael Saylor and others who told them to mortgage everything and buy Bitcoin.
Sell your gold and buy Bitcoin.
And it's like the worst idea ever.
To get out of physical and get into digital?
No.
This is the time, in my opinion...
As someone who owns no Bitcoin and no stocks and no virtual assets whatsoever, come to think of it, my opinion as a non-financial advisor with all those disclaimers, you know, do what's best for you, but my opinion is this is a time to get out of digital and get into physical, physical whatever, physical land, physical gold, physical tractors.
You know, physical ammunition, physical firearms.
You've heard this list from me before.
Things that are real.
Things that can't vanish.
Because we're about to see maybe 2022 will be the year of the vanishing of virtual assets.
I suspect that that's going to be the case.
We're going to look back at this one day and say, whoa, that was the biggest bust ever.
Bigger than the subprime housing market collapse.
Bigger than the dot-com collapse.
Bigger than the bond market collapses throughout history.
Biggest thing ever.
And the question is, when the crypto system starts to crater, who's going to bail them out?
See, when stock markets crater, There are stopgap measures, you know, automatic circuit breakers, you know, when stocks fall, what is it, like 20% or the market index falls 20% in a day or 15%, whatever, there's a circuit breaker.
It goes on pause.
No trading for an hour or three hours or they shut it down for the whole day if it drops enough.
Let's people cool off, you know.
And then if something really big is happening, like Bear Stearns, Bank of America, Citibank, J.P. Morgan, then the government steps in with instant liquidity.
We're going to bail you out.
Because, you know, boom and bust cycles are part of the normal financial ecosystem.
It's going to happen.
The government usually steps in and bails everybody out, but not in the crypto ecosystem.
And so far, since the inception of cryptocurrency, we have been in what is essentially a perpetual boom market.
Well, all boom markets turn to bust.
When the crypto market busts, there's no government that's going to step in and bail them out, and there are no automatic circuit breakers.
They're not going to pause Bitcoin.
To let cooler heads prevail.
It's just going to go down and down and down and people are going to watch their life savings just vanish.
All their hard work vanish.
You know, a couple of trillion dollars in so-called market capitalization will just be wiped out.
Boom.
It's gone.
And by the way, don't forget what I said about market capitalization.
You know how they calculate that, right?
It's all the coins outstanding multiplied by the latest selling price.
And that's called market capitalization.
And it's kind of a very deceptive or fraudulent way to think about or, you know, to portray the value of something.
You know, they say the market cap of all cryptocurrencies is over $2 trillion.
Well, guess what?
Remember how I said how you can be a crypto billionaire in five minutes?
All you do is you open up a spreadsheet.
You create your coin name.
You want to have a coin name.
We should name it after a volcano.
Like, I don't know, Krakatoa coin.
How about that?
We'll do Krakatoa coin.
And then you just enter 1 million coins.
Just enter the number 1 million in a column there.
And then in the next column, you enter the current value, which is zero because you just created it.
And then you just simply convince one of your friends to buy one coin of your Krakatoa coin for $1,000.
And tell them, don't worry, I'll pay you back, you know, $5,000 or whatever.
Just buy one coin for $1,000.
They write you a check for $1,000.
Now, in that column where you had zero, you just change it to $1,000.
Now, your market capitalization for Krakatoa coin is $1 billion because you have 1 million coins outstanding and the latest trading value is $1,000 a coin.
That's $1 billion.
You are now a cryptocurrency billionaire.
Literally, that's not a joke.
This is how it works.
So there's a lot of people out there who claim to be crypto or Bitcoin billionaires.
There's a spreadsheet out there.
It's called the blockchain.
And they've got entries in there of how many coins they own.
No matter what they bought them at, here's the last trading price.
And if you multiply the last trading price by their coins, they say it's worth a billion dollars.
Okay, great.
Great.
Well, anybody can be a crypto billionaire.
The question is, who's going to buy all that for a billion?
Who are you going to sell it to?
The minute you start selling, find out...
There really aren't enough buyers to support all of that.
The minute you start selling or large selling takes place, the prices just start falling and falling and falling because, well, they don't have enough new buyers to jump in.
That's why they're always trying to recruit new buyers.
Jump in, sell your house, put it in Bitcoin, mortgage everything, jump in.
They need new buyers to keep propping the bubble up.
And that can't last forever.
And when it busts, it's going to be catastrophic, and you're going to see the destruction of trillions of dollars of so-called market capitalization that never even existed.
It wasn't real in the first place.
It was just, you know, fuzzy math, really.
It's just kind of like a mathematical sleight of hand.
So remember, when the Bitcoin bubble bursts, there will be no bailouts.
There will be no circuit breakers, no stopgaps.
It's just going to be pure runaway fear.
Everybody's selling.
Nobody buying.
Bitcoin bloodbath.
That's going to be the headline that you'll see when that day comes.
And I say this as someone who's not anti-Bitcoin or anti-crypto.
I plan to buy it after the bloodbath, actually.
I do.
I plan to get into crypto after they clean out all the garbage and all the hype and all the lunatics and all the scams and everything.
And probably after some of these stablecoins are losing a few big legal cases and so on, they clean up the ecosystem, then I'm interested.
I'm interested in the utility of crypto, using it to carry out transactions, not as a speculative get-rich-quick scheme.
That's such an immature...
But that's why most people are in.
It's all just get-rich-quick from almost everybody who's in it.
They don't even think about the utility of it.
They're not like, how do I use cryptocurrency to create a better ecosystem?
Most of them are just like, how do I get rich off this?
And I don't even understand how it works, and who cares?
But, you know, the good news is there are teams, one team even reached out to me, and I'm going to have them on for an interview.
I forgot what they're called here.
There are teams out there who are developing, shall we say, core technologies that That are really about decentralization and the utility of this technology and kind of universal tokens that could be used as the underlying technology layer behind many other things like this crypto food or farm idea that I talked about earlier or maybe a gold or silver backed crypto
coin or some kind of an ecosystem that's backed by real things.
So the technology is great.
The technology has real promise.
But we've got to get past the speculation bubble hype phase in order to get serious about this.
I mean, we can't have much of a future of crypto if it's just run by juvenile-minded, get-rich-quick lunatics who are hyping this and claiming they're going to take over the world and buy off all the senators and everything.
Come on.
Can we get to the mature phase?
That's going to come after the bust.
So that's what I'm looking forward to is the mature phase where we can act like adults in the crypto space.
Not that I act like an adult all the time in this podcast, but when it comes to transactions and finance, I'm definitely a very conservative-minded, mature person.
As you can tell, I'm a low-risk person.
I don't put things out there and take big risks on get-rich-quick schemes and things like that.
I'm very conservative in terms of finances.
All right, so in the meantime, if you want to connect with some physical gold and silver, don't forget our sponsor, Treasure Island.
You can reach them at brighteonmetals.com.
And just check with them on what's best for you, what's available, and they're going to treat you right.
And then we did not have time to get into the vaccines that much here today.
Sorry about that.
I'll move it over to tomorrow's podcast, but just realize that Canada has ordered 400 million COVID-19 vaccine shots for just 40 million people, roughly, who live in Canada.
So that's, of course, 10 shots per person.
Steve Quayle says, shot in the arm, shot in the head.
Either way, you end up dead.
Yeah, you're going to get shot in the arm ten times.
Yeah, how do you think that's going to go?
For the vitamin D deficient population of Canada living in very northern latitudes through a dark winter with global cooling and a lack of sunlight.
Not hard to do the math on that one.
We'll cover more about the various 2022 scenarios, probably in tomorrow's podcast, by the way.
Get into more detail about what's coming.
It's going to be the darkest year of our lives, I believe.
But there is light on the other side of it.
So let's prepare for what's coming and let's be ready to survive it.
And also understand that the future of humanity depends on people not taking these gene-altering mRNA shots.
Okay, so there's a very real effort to push transhumanism and, of course, infertility and depopulation.
But really a Borgification of humanity to turn you into some kind of nanotech augmented organism that's controlled by outside puppet masters.
which might be tech companies or governments or something beyond.
So be ready for that, folks.
Stay away from the vaccines if you want to stay human, truly.
That's a very true statement.
Stay away from these so-called vaccines.
They're not vaccines.
And do everything you can to get off the grid.
Get off-grid money, which means money outside of the controlled banking system.
You know, off-grid food, which is growing your own food.
Off-grid electricity, you know, having a backup generator or a portable solar generator, what have you.
Off-grid...
Self-defense, firearms and ammunition, which are not connected to the internet, thank God.
You know, who wants a Glock that's part of the internet of things?
Where, like, Amazon can disable your Glock.
That would be the dumbest purchase ever, wouldn't it?
It's like, look, I have this amazing gun, and I can start it with my mobile phone!
No, we don't want an internet-connected Glock.
We just want a Glock that actually fires 9 mil rounds, or better yet, 45 ACP, but that's whatever preference.
That's your choice.
You know how the Democrats say, like, we want an AR-15 that carries no ammunition and can't be fired unless you pass a fingerprint check and an iris scan and, you know, an anal probe, and every bullet is inscribed with a unique serial number as it's fired from the rifle.
And, like, that's what we want.
And I'm like, I just want an AR-15 that runs.
I don't want all that garbage on it.
Give me a little red dot sight or even some iron sights.
You know, three pound trigger.
Let's just rock this sucker.
Get rid of all that extra garbage.
I just want it to run.
But, you know, that's the difference between practical people and Democrats who want to load up everything with their control systems.
Alright, I see we're way over time again, so I'll wrap this up for today.
Sorry about the duration, but apparently this is the way it's going to be for a while.
I don't know.
I don't make up all this crazy news.
I'm just talking about it.
And I didn't even get to the whole vaccine section here today.
So I guess, and by the way, I've made no progress on my audiobooks, so I don't know how that's going to get done, but we'll see.
I might have to take a few days off or something.
In the meantime, I hope you have a great day.
Stay informed.
Stay prepared.
