Situation Update, 3/14/22 - World war ESCALATION being aggressively pushed...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the Situation Update for Monday, March 14th, 2020.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me today.
If my voice sounds a little bit hoarse, it's because I have recorded something like six hours on my book, Resilient Prepping, which means it's almost done.
So I was just able to kind of bang that out over the weekend, and I really hope to get that out to you in the next couple of weeks as a free downloadable audiobook.
It'll probably be nine hours in duration or something, eight or nine hours, and there'll be a free downloadable PDF transcript of the entire book.
And we have a lot of great things going into that book.
And we're even reaching out to some suppliers of some essential survival gear and asking them to offer exclusive discount codes, coupon codes that we can put into the PDF so we can bring you better deals.
And we're not even charging them for that.
It's not like an ad.
And we're not making affiliate fees or anything.
It's just we're approaching different companies saying, hey, if you'll give our readers and our audience a discount, we'll put you in this book.
To share the discount codes, you know?
So we're getting some good responses, and hopefully we'll have a decent list in the book.
All right, now, today at noon central, I'm scheduled to appear on the Alex Jones Show.
That's at Infowars.com.
The schedule may change based on world events, and typically I'm joining at six minutes after, so technically figure 1206 central.
Would be the time that I would be on with Alex.
And I'm going to be talking about food rationing, the coming food riots, and the food rationing passports.
And then also central bank digital currencies and how the government is going to force everybody into the digital dollar in order to be able to buy food.
Now, I'm going to talk about some of those concepts here today as well, but there's more that will be revealed on the Alex Jones Show with Alex, and he always asks really good questions.
What's really great about Alex and I talking, even on the air, is that he and I both have a couple of decades of research and investigations and journalism in these subjects that we're talking about, and he and I are two of the people who really predicted all this, and him more so than myself.
I mean, Alex was ahead of the curve Long before I had kind of become red-pilled.
And technically, by the way, Steve Quayle was also talking about all this back in the 1990s.
So Steve Quayle deserves major kudos.
He nailed it.
And, you know, Aaron Russo, the late Aaron Russo, he nailed it in his documentaries.
I think that's his name, right?
And then Alex has been nailing it year after year after year.
You know, my specialty and my focus is food and now famine and food rationing, fertilizers, agriculture, food production, you know, food weaponization.
And then, of course, health and vaccines, medicine and nutrition, prevention of diseases through phytonutrients found in foods and also the technology of food, how to make your own medicine, things like that.
So it's great when Alex invites me on and I get to jump on his show and share maybe a week or two weeks worth of findings that I've kind of distilled down through my own reporting on natural news.
And then I can just kind of summarize it or break it for the InfoWars audience that may not have heard some of those concepts yet.
So it's always a fascinating show.
Again, it's at InfoWars.com.
Noon today unless the schedule changes.
And again, today is March 14th.
So if you're hearing this after that, know that you can go to the archives on Brighttown.com and you can hear that show.
There's a channel on Brighttown.
It's called, I think, Ron Gibson 2 that carries all the InfoWars archives.
And then, of course, you can also find it at Band.video, which is the InfoWars video site as well.
So you won't miss it.
It'll definitely be available for you.
Now, I've got another Intel update for you.
From Tina at the Satellite Phone Store, and of course the Satellite Phone Store has been one of our sponsors for quite some time, and they have no more satellite phones, but they do have Intel.
And so Tina told me, remember last week when I said that she told me the Inmarsat phones are now selling on the open market for $3,500 each.
That's if you can even find them, but it's very difficult to find them because the government of Ukraine has been buying up all the phones.
In fact, right now there are no phones available, as far as I can tell, anywhere in North America or at retail.
There's just no phones.
Well, Tina gave me a new update.
I think this was from Friday.
She said, yeah, we just got word that these Iridium phones are now selling for $10,000 each.
Because they're so hard to find, nobody's got them, and some people really, really want them, such as, for example, the government of Ukraine, and they are paying people $10,000 for their Iridium phones.
I find that astonishing.
So if you have an Iridium phone, I mean, you're sitting on really kind of a little gold mine right there.
And you might want to hold on to it, you know, because of what's happening in the world and the cell towers probably going down.
Everybody wants these all of a sudden, but there are almost none available.
So just to be clear, satellite phone store doesn't have any more sat phones.
And the 1,000 that they had...
For April that were coming in have already been spoken for.
There's over a thousand people waiting for those phones now.
So Tina said the next expected incoming shipment of satellite phones is now looking like June.
That's how crazy the situation is.
I mean, June?
Really?
Now, since they are a sponsor, there is one solution they do have available right now, and I'll mention them, and those are the Bivvy Sticks, which is two-way text messaging using satellites.
They've got a few thousand of those devices, I believe.
And it's a great way you can send text messages to people, you know, emergency basis or just day-to-day.
And it only uses the satellites to send the messages and to receive the messages.
So you don't need cell towers to work.
It's a great emergency communications device.
You can find information about that at sat123.com.
SAT, like SAT, 123.
But that's just fascinating intel.
Now, getting onto the topic of food rationing and food riots and what's coming.
This is part of what I'm going to share with Alex on his show.
It's not hard at all to see this coming.
So, okay.
We already know that the global food supply is collapsing.
We know that the fertilizer supplies have been cut off, especially from Russia, and the natural gas has been cut off that's used to make fertilizer and so on.
We've been over this many times.
So there's no more debate.
The shelves are going to go empty.
They're already going empty in the Middle East right now.
There are food riots and protests in Iraq, and then there's food rationing in Lebanon, and Hungary has, of course, halted the exports of wheat in order to protect it for the domestic supply.
This is going to spread, and in the United States and Canada, my current understanding is that the food on the shelves is going to start going bare because At least in certain categories, not everything, but in many categories, such as wheat and oats and millet and things like that, we're going to start seeing that around late summer, maybe August or September timeframe.
Now, also keep in mind that food inflation is going to go through the roof.
And this is true even for animal-derived products because, you know, most of the grain grown in the world is actually used to feed animals.
And those are the animals that lay eggs or give milk or produce meat and so on.
So as grain prices skyrocket, it's not just increasing the price of bread, let's say.
It's also increasing the price of meat products because those animals are fed grains.
Corn, wheat, soy, and so on.
All those are going through the roof.
And oats, everything else you can imagine.
So, because food is going to become so expensive, and food prices could go up easily 100% between now and the end of this year.
They could double.
Again, not everything across the board, but a lot of food items could absolutely double by the end of this year.
Because of that, we're going to see thieves targeting grocery stores.
And they're going to engage in flash mob looting of the grocery stores.
And that's going to cause grocery stores to respond with enhanced security.
And then the federal government's going to get involved as well.
And you're going to start to see checkpoints.
I don't know if you recognize this, but there are already kind of guards at the grocery stores right now, even in places like Texas.
And this is based on the post-COVID situation.
So I've noticed common grocery store chains in Texas having kind of large male watchmen, you might say.
They're not dressed up like security guards yet.
But you can tell they're kind of larger guys who are at the doors, and they're watching everybody coming in, and they're watching everybody leave, and they're just there to provide a presence, to dissuade people from engaging in mass looting or theft and so on.
Now, these guys right now, they don't stop shoplifters.
They're told not to stop them, so they don't grab your arm and throw you to the ground or anything like that because, well, too much liability for the grocery companies.
But these individuals are going to be upgraded To more security personnel, they're going to be dressed with more security uniforms and they're going to carry firearms.
This is my prediction.
I don't have any insider information on this.
This is my prediction of what grocery stores are going to do after the mass, the flash mob looting and the mass theft of meat products really accelerates.
And that's going to happen in the second half of this year, in my opinion, in my analysis.
As this is happening, there are going to be calls for food rationing and food price controls.
The federal government's going to get involved.
And of course, since you have Joe Biden and Barack Obama behind the scenes, they're going to use this opportunity to enslave as many people as possible and to destroy America and weaponize food scarcity in order to gain more power.
So the way they're going to do that is to have food rationing passports where you have to have a passport in order to qualify to buy food and you only have a certain amount, you know, one dozen eggs or something like that, a half a pound of chicken per week or whatever it turns out to be, you know, one loaf of bread every three days or something.
This is going to be like the vaccine passport app, but it's the food rationing app.
It's going to require your identification.
So they will have some kind of ID system, most likely, at some point.
It may not happen right away, but they're going to roll out eventually thumbprints or iris scans or face scans or some kind of biometric mark of the beast system.
And this is going to then allow them to limit food supplies to people who they label as extremists.
And Homeland Security just announced that extremists are people who question the election of 2020, even though Democrats question the election of 2016.
But if you question the election of 2020, then you're an extremist.
Or if you disagree with the official COVID narrative, Or if you're anti-vaccine, you are an extremist, and they can cut off your food rationing simply for those political beliefs that you hold.
And there's more.
So the poverty is going to be so severe because of rising inflation, rising fuel prices, the rising costs of homes and used vehicles and new cars as well, and also food and everything else, they're going to roll out more government stimulus programs.
Somewhere along the way here, they're going to crash the dollar and collapse the fiat currency system.
This is planned.
It's going to happen.
It's part of the engineered collapse.
On the backside of that, they're going to roll out a digital dollar system, central bank digital currency, and then they're going to start handing out stimulus money to people to be able to buy food and gasoline and use vehicles and so on.
But the only way to qualify for that is to use the digital dollar.
So you have to go in with the central bank digital currency system, and then that's how you're going to be given these so-called government benefits, okay?
So that's how they're going to get you into the system.
So the end result of all of this, what we're really looking at here, Is a government-engineered global food crisis, the weaponization of food scarcity, as an emergency to force people into accepting digital currencies and food rationing, food purchasing control by the government and the central bank.
So it's kind of a really genius evil plan, if you think about it, because it's hard to convince people to move into digital currencies unless they're starving.
And if you can make everybody starve, then they're willing to do almost anything.
If they create a big enough crisis, then they can force people to embrace all kinds of tyranny and intrusions into their liberties.
So, the net result of all of this is going to be A social credit scoring system applied to your ability to purchase food.
And if you are not a citizen who, you know, approves of Joe Biden and the official narratives of COVID and the CDC and the FDA and all the liars in the swamp, if you don't love those people, you're going to be denied your ability to buy food.
And as a result of that, we're going to have a breakout parallel economy.
And I'd like to describe this parallel economy here.
This is going to be an economy where people grow food and trade food.
They buy and sell on what's going to become the food black market.
People will buy and sell seeds, garden vegetables, meats, and so on.
And they will buy and sell these items Locally, this will be a decentralized system, a local market, because obviously you have to take physical delivery because it's food.
People are going to sell eggs and milk and maybe even raw milk and other things.
And the currency is going to be a combination of silver and crypto.
Why crypto?
Because there are privacy coins such as Monero that the government absolutely hates.
Monero could be very useful for buying and selling food because the transactions are all private.
Unlike Bitcoin and unlike Zcash, which isn't private by default, Monero transactions are literally untraceable.
They don't know who received the money.
They don't know who sent the money.
And I think that given this environment, given the dynamics that we're talking about here, The government's going to, at some point, try to outlaw buying and selling food.
No kidding.
They're going to try to outlaw garden seeds.
I used to joke about this years ago, about being a seed smuggler, meeting people in dark parking lots to trade seeds for gold.
That's not necessarily fiction.
For much longer.
It's probably going to happen.
Because in order to control the food, obviously the government has to outlaw competition, which would be black market home gardening food or people selling seeds in exchange for crypto or silver coins or junk silver or whatever.
So you're going to have this parallel economy.
And a lot of people will not go in with the mark of the beast system, especially a lot of Christians, because they know that once you accept the mark of the beast system, your soul is...
It's been sold to Satan at that point.
The Bible warns about this.
You know, the mark upon your...
Forehead and upon your hand, which could, in fact, describe your iPhone.
That's like a mark upon your palm, your hand.
You're holding your Android device or your iPhone device in your palm.
That's a mark of the beast system.
So people who are informed about all of this will reject that system.
And they'll have to go to a parallel black market economy.
And in order for the government to try to crack down on that system, they will eventually start to criminalize private food sales.
Well, actually, there are already laws against that in most states, especially California.
Just try to sell raw milk and you might get raided by the government at gunpoint, you know.
Just ask James Stewart.
That already happened many years back.
Now, the other thing that's going to happen with this is, most likely, price controls.
Now, let me just, as a disclaimer, let me just mention that all of this could be avoided if Ukraine and Russia reach a peace deal and then all the economic sanctions are reversed.
Then we might only suffer through this for one crop season, and it may not be the end of the world.
But it is very unlikely, from what I'm seeing, That the economic war is going to be halted.
I think the economic war is going to continue full force.
Even if the kinetic war stops.
This is a war for global dominance about the future of the global reserve currencies.
And the dollar is almost certainly going to lose this war.
And as the dollar collapses, then all these other emergencies are going to be created by design, like I'm mentioning here, and you're going to end up with the situation that I'm talking about.
And one of the things the government's going to do, if it gets to this point, is, of course, price fixing or price controls.
Now, price controls are disastrous for any supply chain.
The minute you have price controls, which is an artificial Low price set by the government and enforced by the government, you immediately destroy the free market incentives that create supply.
And let me just explain this.
I know many of you are familiar with this concept, but if you think about this, what's the incentive for a grocery store manager to buy a loaf of bread?
And the answer is because he or she gets to sell that loaf of bread and make a small profit.
It might be a 5% profit or 10%, whatever.
Grocery store profits are not very high in terms of margins, but let's just say it's a 10% margin.
So he sells a loaf of bread for $5 and let's just say he makes 50 cents.
And then price inflation kicks in and then that loaf of bread becomes $10.
And let's say he's still making 5 or 10%.
Let's say 10%.
So he's making a dollar on that loaf.
Well, then the government comes along and says, well, you can't sell bread for $10 because people can't afford it.
So you got to sell it for the old price of $5.
So now the grocery store operator has to buy the bread for $9 and then sell it for $5, you see.
Now, who wants to be in that business of losing $4 for every loaf of bread?
Obviously, the grocery store operator would stop ordering loaves of bread from the bread manufacturers.
Because you can't, I mean, you lose money for every loaf that you sell.
So then the bread immediately disappears from the shelves.
It's gone.
That's what price controls always do.
You have immediate shortages of the items because there's no longer any incentive for anybody to retail them or even distributors.
To acquire them in bulk and distribute them to local retail stores and so on.
The entire free market economic system is shattered the minute you have price controls in place.
And then the other effect is you have government tyranny.
So we saw this in Venezuela, many examples of this.
Where in order to enforce the price controls, the government has to have a new network of food price enforcers who are essentially spies who walk into the grocery stores and make sure that the grocery stores are not charging more than $5 per loaf of bread in this example.
And then if the grocery store owner is found guilty of overcharging, then they are arrested and imprisoned and charged with, you know, crimes against the state or whatever they come up with.
So the same guy who was making 10% on a loaf of bread a month earlier is now a criminal in prison.
He's the guy who knows how to order food and buy food in bulk and run a grocery store.
So as these people are put in prison, then the grocery store retail infrastructure collapses even further.
So food retailers have to get creative in order to not go bankrupt.
That's the other problem.
A lot of these retailers will go bankrupt and then they're just shut down and there's no place to buy food.
So the starvation problem gets even worse.
So what happened in Venezuela, and this is a true story, the government had limited the price on flour.
It's a certain amount per pound that you were allowed to sell a bag of flour for, even at the wholesale level.
So the bakers and the bread makers would buy the flour, and then they had price controls on what they could charge for bread.
And they realized that they couldn't earn a living.
They would go bankrupt because they weren't allowed to make a profit because of the price control.
So they started to divert flour into making pastries, you know, dessert pastries, like muffins and, I don't know, donuts and whatever.
And that's where they were able to make their money and stay alive was on the pastries because every loaf of bread they sold was a loss.
So they would make a few token loaves of bread and have them on the shelves.
And those would be sold out pretty quickly, but they would really make their money making the pastries.
So the government of Venezuela decided that using flour to bake pastries was a crime because it was taking away flour from the bread that people needed.
So they literally criminalized the bread shop owners, you know, the bakers who were making pastries.
Yes, this is the great donut criminalization era of Venezuela, which is another example of how insane tyranny gets when they're always trying to enforce things against free market dynamics.
You know, they're trying to force the bakers to make the bread at a loss.
Obviously, the bakers couldn't do that.
So what you see is just increased tyranny.
More tyranny, more laws, more regulations, and then more people being arrested and charged with crimes and thrown in prison when they are the people who know how to run the economy, actually.
They are the people who are familiar with the dynamics of the food industry.
They know how to buy and sell flour or bread or meat or whatever.
And then the net result of this, of course, is just the accelerated collapse of the infrastructure of food retail, which causes even worse starvation, which typically causes a tyrannical government to respond by doing things like having more price controls and more stimulus money and more security at the grocery stores because that's the only thing they know how to do.
If they would just let the free market function, The free market can get goods and services to people at the price that is reasonable.
And yeah, the prices are going up, but that's because the supply chain is breaking down.
You can't magically create a new supply chain.
You can't just wave a magic wheat wand and have wheat appear out of the sky, just rain down upon everybody.
Look, it's raining wheat and magical rainbows and elves and pots of gold as well.
Jen Psaki, that's like her press conference announcement right there.
We're just going to create pots of gold in the sky.
Vote Democrat, you know.
Doesn't work that way.
You actually have to grow the wheat and you actually have to have fertilizer to grow the wheat and you actually have to have affordable diesel fuel to power the tractors to grow the wheat and harvest the wheat and transport the wheat and process the wheat into flour and so on and so forth all the way down the supply chain.
Well, we know how to make that system work.
It's called a free market system.
And a free market system is individual entrepreneurs and business people making their own independent decisions about what to pay and what to charge.
And no centralized government can ever replace that.
Every time they've tried centralized pricing or centralized control over resources, it has failed catastrophically.
And yet that's exactly where things are going right now.
So it's going to be starvation by government decree.
They will collapse the supply chain and make people starve while trying to criminalize those who are buying and selling food outside of the allowable system.
So you're going to have literally black market food meetups where people will meet to exchange food for silver or ammo or whatever.
This is going to be the parallel economy.
And in that economy, I mean, that's how the American people are going to actually stay alive.
Now, if you're wondering how that economy works and are there examples of that kind of economic system functioning, one of the best examples is Russia.
So the people of Russia have been living under some form of economic sanctions for decades, really.
And they have managed to bypass a lot of those sanctions and restrictions by using these kinds of black market parallel economic systems that I'm describing here.
And using cash or using barter or trading services for goods and things like that.
The Russian people have been doing that for a long time.
And frankly, the people of Iran.
Having lived under Western economic sanctions for a very long time, are also pretty good at that.
The people of Iraq, same situation.
When you're living in a war zone, you learn these survival skills of how to buy and sell and trade and barter and how to grow secret food stashes in your guerrilla gardens or even small-scale food in containers on your balcony and things like that.
And if you look at all these nations around the world where people have lived under extreme economic sanctions, they have found a way to survive by learning the kind of skills that the Have almost never had to learn or exercise, not in the modern day.
You probably have to go back to World War II to find a similar situation of shortages in sugar and butter and bread and so on.
And yeah, they had food lines and they had food rationing and so on during World War II. But since then, nothing like that.
It's just been really abundance and free market systems, logistics that work and so on.
Well, that's all about to come to an end.
So one of the concerns I have in all of this is the fact that the American people, by and large, do not understand how to function in a scarcity economy because they've lived under abundance for so long.
They don't have the skills to barter and trade and produce or even to manufacture their own spare parts and things like that.
So the American people are going to be really kind of caught with their pants down as all of this unfolds because they don't have that experience like the people of Iran have or the people of Russia or the people of even North Korea or other places around the world, you know, Iraq, Afghanistan, and so on.
And the American people generally don't have the skills of how to stretch a small amount of supplies and make it last longer, you know, how to live off a A pound of rice every few days or, you know, a five pound bag of legumes for the month and things like that.
The American people have always had excess, you know, all you can eat buffets.
And then still somehow they managed to waste half a plate of food at the end of that.
It's like all you can eat and then throw some away.
You know, that's America.
It's the Golden Corral, which it's almost like Cattle walking in there to feed at the trough.
Golden Corral is the perfect kind of representative for what America has become.
Like a feeding fest of GMO processed food laced with pesticides and herbicides and processed sugars and artificial ingredients and all this garbage.
In my mind, that's what Golden Corral represents.
And all of that is about to come to an end.
And we know this is coming to an end.
We just don't know how long it's going to last or how severe the collapse of the global food supply is going to be.
And we also don't know exactly how people are going to react to all of this.
I mean, we know the reactions are going to be very, well, very bad.
America is not a nation where people obediently follow rules like Japan, for example, or even Taiwan, for that matter.
So there's gonna be a lot of chaos, a lot of looting, a lot of violence, a lot of crime associated with the desperation in food prices.
And then you can imagine, if you have to go meet up somewhere to barter food, you know, there's a security risk.
You could get robbed.
You're not even trading cocaine or anything.
Like, it's not a Hunter Biden deal.
You're just trying to sell lettuce and eggs.
You might get robbed of your lettuce and eggs, you know?
And so everybody's gonna be armed.
And you're going to have shootings over a dozen eggs or five pounds of beef.
People are going to shoot each other.
So if you go do a deal, you need to have overwatch.
You got to have somebody behind you with a rifle.
To make sure that everything's going to go down as expected.
And then the other guy is going to be worried, hey, why'd you bring this dude with a rifle?
And your answer is, well, that's the guy you see.
You should be worried about the other guy you don't see.
So let's just do this deal and go home.
How about that?
I mean, you're going to see that happening in America like crazy.
Seriously.
So in this scenario, I ask you, what is the value of growing your own food?
And you know I've been a strong advocate of home food production, you know, home gardens, hydroponic systems, small-scale farming, and so on.
And for most of the time up to this, that has been something where the inputs of time and resources were not necessarily worth it because you could go to the grocery store and you could buy those things much more cheaply.
And so it was kind of a hard sell for a lot of people to sell themselves on the idea of, oh, I'm going to grow food, I'm going to pull weeds, I'm going to hoe this dirt and plant potatoes or carrots or whatever, and then protect it from rabbits, and I'm going to have a few carrots at the end of this.
That's a tough sell.
Well, the dynamics have now radically changed to the point where the food that you grow is going to become priceless.
This has gone from hobby gardening into survival gardening.
It's if you want to live, you have to eat.
And if you want to eat, you either have to grow your own food or you have to surrender your soul to the mark of the beast system and go in with the central bank digital currency food rationing passport system.
And lose your soul in the process.
So those are the only two choices moving forward.
Either grow food or lose your soul.
You see what I mean?
Suddenly the dynamics have really, really shifted.
And not everybody gets that yet, but they will.
We'll sign up for the Mark of the Beast system.
And a lot of people will think the government is helping them and bailing them out, when in fact the government is enslaving them and controlling them, surveilling them through that digital currency system.
That's going to take the government a little bit of time to roll this out and get all the grocery stores to use this system.
It might take a couple of years, but that's where they're going.
Have no illusions.
That's where they're going.
Alright, for the second half of the podcast today, or essentially the last section, we're going to focus on escalation of war with Russia.
That's not the topic that I had originally planned to cover.
I was going to cover the evidence that vaccines are altering men's sperm and the DNA in the sperm to program future generations of females that are born, you know, young girls being born, that they would have ovarian failure if they were to ever get pregnant.
And that these vaccines are, in fact, transgenerational genetic alteration infertility weapons against the human population.
But I don't have really time to get into that today.
Maybe we'll cover it tomorrow because there are signs of extreme escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that show that Russia may, in fact, be looking at a lot more than just taking over Ukraine.
There are rumors and some signs.
It's not certain yet, but there are some signs that Russia may be looking at attacking Estonia, Lithuania, and then going into north...
I believe it's northeastern Poland.
Let me bring up a map.
Okay, yeah, bringing up a map of Europe...
You see how north of Ukraine is Belarus and then to the north of Belarus are Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
And then to the west of Belarus is Poland.
And Poland also lies to the west of Ukraine.
So we're seeing signs of this escalation that Russia wants to go through those countries, again, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, in order to potentially invade Poland.
Now, I don't know if this is just talk or what it is.
But this is going to collide with NATO talk and talk from Biden and the United States that is saying, oh, we're going to defend NATO countries tooth and nail.
We're not going to allow Russia to set foot on any NATO country.
And the U.S. is currently concentrating troops and military equipment on the eastern edge of Poland.
And by the way, the United States is also shipping weapons, and to some extent troops, into Ukraine.
So there are a lot of weapons coming into Ukraine, Western weapons, tank busting missiles, what they call javelins, and some RPGs and AK-47s and other weapons as well.
And there are a lot of Western citizens who are even volunteering to go into Ukraine and to fight the Russian military on the streets of Ukraine.
And the government of Ukraine has offered citizenship to any capable person who shows up in Ukraine and wants to pick up a rifle and go engage the Russians.
They're offered citizenship.
How's that for an immigration policy?
It's like, come here and maybe die, and if you don't die, you can be a citizen of a country that also might be taken over by Russia, but we're not sure yet.
We'll see how this goes.
And you're going to live in a war zone, which is very difficult for everybody there.
My prayers go out, by the way, to every person and every family that's stuck in this situation.
I don't mean to make light of this at all.
It is devastating what's going on.
It's absolutely devastating.
And this bull crap has got to stop.
If we're going to have a world remaining.
I mean, if we can even support a population of 4 billion people on this planet, we have to stop the war, we've got to stop the economic sanctions, and we've got to restart international trade on fertilizer and energy and minerals and so on.
Otherwise, we're going to lose half the world's population, not even from war, just from starvation alone.
I've done the math on this.
The situation is dire.
The economic war, in a sense, in terms of the number of casualties, is even far more dangerous than the kinetic war.
Again, not to make light of how difficult it is to be dodging missiles or get shot at or have tanks firing down your street.
That's horrifying.
But the way things are being set up right now with the economic sanctions and the debanking and the loss of trade and so on, we're talking about billions of people starving over the next couple of years unless we turn this situation around and reestablish global trade very quickly.
The sad thing is, I don't see any signs that that's going to happen.
I don't see any signs that this is going to be de-escalated.
I mean, yeah, I heard the rumor that Ukraine and Russia were having talks and that they were making some progress.
But at least from what I heard so far, although it's very difficult to know what's true, from what I heard so far, neither side is willing to back down on their basic tenets, you know?
Russia says that Crimea belongs to them and the southeastern regions like Donetsk belong to Russia and that Ukraine has to be demilitarized while Ukraine insists that no, Crimea belongs to us and we're not going to give up all our weapons.
So I'm not sure how the two sides come together on that.
Where's the middle ground there?
It's like, you've got to give up all your weapons.
No, we don't.
What's the compromise?
I'm not sure that there is one.
So I don't really have any confidence that this is going to be de-escalated.
And even if there was some kind of a de-escalation signed between Russia and Ukraine, Russia might then decide, well, we'll just go through, you know, Latvia.
We'll attack Latvia and Lithuania.
And then go into Poland that way.
And Belarus is the ally of Russia.
And Belarus, of course, shares a border with Poland, not that far from Warsaw, really.
And remember that Belarus allowed Russia to move Russian military equipment through Belarus in order to attack Ukraine from the north, not that far from Kiev.
So why would we not think that Belarus would allow Russia to attack Poland and head for Warsaw?
Just because there's peace with Ukraine doesn't mean that Russia is done with whatever they're trying to do.
Now, I don't know what exactly they're trying to do because I can't read the mind of Putin, obviously.
Perhaps no one can at this point.
But this is nowhere near over even if we have peace with Ukraine, which I'm praying for.
I'm praying for peace in the whole region.
I'm praying for peace.
I want all the citizens of Ukraine and Belarus and Russia and, frankly, people all over the world to be safe, to have freedom, to have abundance, to not have to live through war.
But unfortunately, that's not where this is going.
So Joe Biden has said, and this is obviously setting up a false flag operation.
Joe Biden has said that if Russia uses chemical weapons, then we're going to have to respond.
He's implying with kinetic weapons or perhaps nuclear weapons.
He didn't really say it exactly, but that was the implication.
They're obviously setting up a false flag where Western or NATO forces would unleash some kind of a chemical weapon attack.
Usually they try to frame this with school children or a hospital or something like that.
I mean, war is the business of these days of just fakery and theater.
I'm not saying that the war is all fake.
It's very real.
But I'm saying the propaganda layer on top of it cannot be trusted because both sides are trying to portray the other side as being heinous, evil criminals.
And it's true.
You know, both sides are trying to do this to the other side.
So Western NATO forces can set off a chemical weapon, kill Ukrainian children even, And then say, well, Putin did that.
Therefore, we are now going to launch nuclear weapons or strategic battlefield nukes against Russian forces in these locations or something like that.
And that's how this thing escalates.
And I think that's what Biden wants.
I think that's what the Pentagon wants.
And I know that's what the weapons manufacturers want.
All the people in charge have every incentive to escalate this.
While all of us citizens have every incentive to de-escalate it, but we're not the ones calling the shots.
We're not the ones with our fingers on the triggers or on the buttons of the nuclear weapons.
If we were the ones, we would shut those weapons down, and we would find a way to make peace, if it's possible.
But right now the lunatics are in charge and they want to escalate this.
And sadly, the people of Ukraine are caught in the middle.
They're in some kind of a vicious tug-of-war shooting gallery situation where America and NATO lied to Ukraine about protecting them.
And then also, you know, Russia lied about, oh, we're not going to invade you.
So Ukraine has been lied to by the East and the West.
And now they're paying a dear price, although it could be way worse because Putin has not yet engaged in a kind of, you know, mass bombing, like large-scale bombing of cities, turning them into rubble across the board like World War II saw.
You know, the way the U.S. and allies bombed Dresden, Germany.
That hasn't happened yet in this conflict, and I hope it never happens, but it may go there.
And the big problem with all of this is that every escalation of this conflict gives the U.S. government, Canadian government, and so on, more power to take away your liberties and to blame Putin for the failed economic policies, such as money printing causing inflation, causing food prices to go up, causing fuel prices to go up, and so on.
I even heard Biden's saying over the last couple of days that it's absurd to say that printing money causes inflation.
No, all the inflation is Putin's fault.
So he's doing exactly what I said he was going to do.
He's blaming Putin for the inflation that's caused by printing trillions of dollars over the last couple of years.
And of course, if you keep printing trillions of dollars, you're going to have devaluation of the currency.
You're going to have price inflation in the marketplace with food and vehicles and everything else.
Let's talk about finance for a minute and the financial fallout that would occur from an escalation of this war with Russia.
And again, remember that Biden and Obama and Biden's puppet handlers, they want war with Russia.
This has been desired by the top-level Democrats for a very long time because they want to destroy America and destroy the economy.
They technically want America to be nuked by Russia.
So I strongly suspect, and I'm saying this again on, what, March 14th, I strongly suspect that the combination that we're looking at here is, of course, inflation of Prices of goods, food and fuel and all those things, and the very real risk of massive deflation of assets.
And I mean not only digital assets, which includes crypto and bank accounts and so on, but also land and real estate.
And I think that the only assets that are not going to go down if we end up in this war situation are Well, maybe not the only ones, but primarily gold and silver will skyrocket.
Of course, prices of copper will go up as well and palladium and so on.
So minerals will go up, but especially gold and silver.
There will be a point where JP Morgan and the banking system cannot suppress the prices any longer.
Whereas, I anticipate a very high risk of extreme volatility in the stock market, in the bond market, and even in crypto markets.
And remember, I'm not anti-crypto.
In fact, I've been encouraging everybody to become familiar with the world of crypto.
To understand how it works, to use it in a token kind of way, to make sure you know how to send and receive, you know, Bitcoin or Ethereum or whatever tokens you're using.
You know, to have an exchange account opened up in like KuCoin or Gemini or I don't know, whatever exchange you want to use.
And to use your own wallet like Exodus.com.
That's a wallet where the wallet's stored on your own computer.
And I just want everybody to be familiar with how to use this ecosystem.
And I, in recommending that, I've specifically said do not become a speculator in those areas unless that's your area of expertise.
That's on you.
I am not in any way encouraging people to jump into some coin like you're going to get rich in two months or whatever.
I think actually there's going to be quite a valuation reset there.
In all digital assets, that is, if we end up in an escalated war scenario, which is where things are going, I think crypto could suffer.
Now, long term, I think crypto is going to do very, very well.
Certain types, especially types that are backed by gold and silver or maybe backed by other physical things.
I think crypto is going to be part of the parallel economy because one of the things I think is going to happen, the governments of the world are going to try to force people into using central bank digital currencies, you know, the mark of the beast, electronic wallet systems.
But for those people who don't want to go that direction, they're going to end up using crypto in a parallel economy where maybe you won't be able to spend that crypto at the grocery store, but you'll be able to spend it with a smaller group of people who are bartering and trading things like garden seeds and chicken eggs and raw milk and maybe even ammunition or, I don't know, LED flashlights, whatever people have, right?
There's going to be a thriving marketplace that is kind of an off-the-grid marketplace, and I think that will happen at the local level.
And that's why it's great to have a lot of goods to barter with, you know?
All kinds of things to barter with, like Bic lighters and nylon thread.
Like, what?
What is that?
You know, for sewing and repairing and fixing canvas and denim jeans and leather, I don't know, holsters or saddles or whatever.
A lot of items that you can barter with.
Isopropyl alcohol, for example.
Hand sanitizer, I don't know.
A lot of things.
But I wouldn't want to put my faith in the dollar, and I think that the fiat currencies are in dire trouble right now.
And there is a very real risk that in the next few months, or even later this year, the timing is difficult to know, but there's a very real risk that the dollar could collapse.
Now, as a disclaimer, I'm not a financial advisor, nor am I your financial advisor, so do your own research and figure out what's best for you.
I can't tell you what to do with your, quote, money, but I can tell you that if you have dollars, that ain't money.
Just like Joe Biden said, if you don't vote for him, you ain't black.
Remember that?
I'm saying if you hold dollars, that ain't money.
One of the few times I used the word ain't.
It's not money.
Why?
Because by definition, money is something that stores value.
And the dollar does not.
So if you think you have money because you're holding dollars, you're in for a very rude awakening.
It's not money at all.
So perhaps you should explore...
What else to own or what else to translate dollars into that might actually hold value?
And that's exactly what people are doing.
That's why so many people are getting out of the dollar and getting into land or getting into real estate or getting into silver or getting into crypto or whatever.
And look, my opinion is that gold and silver, especially silver, is still heavily artificially suppressed.
I think silver is suppressed by about 80 to 90%.
I do.
I think that silver, in my opinion, this is just my opinion, I think silver could go to $200 to $400 an ounce at some point.
Does that mean you should speculate on silver?
No, I'm not about speculation.
I'm just trying to achieve holding asset value without losing the principle.
That's it.
And in that function, in that role, metals like silver and gold are ideal.
The thing is, it looks like...
See, our markets are so fragile, stock market, bond market, and so on.
They're so fragile that they could crater just based on something that Putin does.
This is the problem, is that the Western financial system is built on a house of cards.
And when it comes to stocks, for example, the top stocks don't have the earnings to support the valuations.
Not even close.
People are buying stocks as a form of just, I don't know, blind faith in the system of Oh, it's Apple.
Oh, it's Google.
Oh, it's Microsoft.
It must be good.
And they just buy it and they don't think about what they're doing.
Well, all it's going to take is Putin ordering Russian troops to invade Latvia or to invade Poland.
You know what would happen if they invade Poland?
You realize that would be all-out World War III at that point.
You know what that would do to the stock market?
It would crash so fast, you wouldn't even have time to speed dial your broker or to log in to your brokerage website.
And besides, they would just shut down all the markets anyway.
Just like they froze the nickel market when nickel went to $100,000 a ton.
They just shut it down.
Well, no more trading nickel!
It's just too expensive, you know?
They're going to shut down the markets.
And then when they reopen, which might be weeks away or days, months, who knows?
When they reopen, you'll find that your stock went down 90% before you even had a chance to react to it.
That's what could happen just based on Putin.
Just whatever he wants to do.
You see?
Because the markets are incredibly fragile and people will react in a kind of panic.
And so I have to urge you about the lateness of the hour and the risk of escalation.
You know, on the other hand, Let's say Ukraine and Russia sign a peace deal tomorrow.
Well, the stock market's going to surge.
It's going to go up like crazy.
It's going to go up in an irrational exuberance kind of way.
It'll be, you know, a celebratory irrational exuberance.
It'll just go sky high and everybody will say, awesome!
No war with Russia.
It's back to business as usual.
That could happen too.
But that's also, see, that reaction is not well informed because the economic damage on a global scale that has already been put into place cannot simply be reversed just like that.
We've already lost the spring crops in Ukraine, for example.
We've already lost fertilizer supplies to farmers in Western Europe and in the United States.
We've already seen a massive supply chain disruption that's going to take years to resolve.
We already have the loss of, what is it, neon gas out of Ukraine that is needed for the lasers that run the microchip manufacturing automation systems.
So we're going to have a microchip supply shortage that will extend for years, even if peace is announced tomorrow.
And that would mean that an exuberant stock market reaction would be an overreaction on the positive side, with false expectations that everything's awesome and it actually isn't, even if we have peace.
And if we don't have peace, then the only remaining options are, you know, from bad to worse or horrifying to apocalyptic, basically.
So right now, the volatility and the risk of being invested in assets like stocks and bonds and so on, the risk is just off the charts.
And yet, your typical investor does not comprehend how much risk exists in the system.
We may be facing, let's say, a 15-sigma event, which, you know, statistically that means it would be impossible to happen by chance, you know, or nearly impossible.
And yet, it could happen.
Black swans upon black swans.
Like a black swan flying out of a black hole in a vortex in the sky from another dimension.
Like a multi-dimensional black swan has arrived on Earth.
That's the kind of risk that we could be facing and people tend to have no idea.
And I say the only way to be safe in this is to be out.
To not subject yourself to that risk.
Stock market risk, even crypto risk, bank account risk.
You realize the counterparty risk of having funds in a bank right now is massive?
Normally, you don't think of a checking account or a savings account of having high counterparty risk.
You think that the bank keeps it safe.
Oh, you have FDIC insurance, so everything's great.
Nothing bad can happen, and even if it does, the FDIC is going to bail you out.
Well, that's all great, except what happens if the dollar collapses?
Because Wednesday morning, Saudi Arabia announces on a global basis In a press conference, oh, we're abandoning the petrodollar.
And a hundred other countries go along with it.
That's called Project Sandman, by the way.
According to intelligent sources, there's actually an agreement among 113 nations or something where they're all going to announce on one day that we're dropping the dollar.
You know what the dollar is going to do the next day?
You know what your bank account is going to be worth the next day?
Pretty much zero.
You know what?
The FDIC is going to be capable of doing nothing.
And that can happen while you're sleeping.
So the strategy of how to survive all this financially, I mean, number one, you need to watch the events and be well-informed and ahead of the masses.
And that's why...
It's great to watch alternative media like Natural News.
And be sure to check out censored.news.
That's a site we publish.
It's got all the headlines.
They're spidered in near real time from dozens of sites all across the web.
And you should read what's going on.
You should also check rt.com Russia Today because you want to know what kind of narrative and propaganda Russia is putting out.
Because that may be hinting at what Putin is going to do.
That's why it's important to read the newspaper of the other side of this also, to know what they're putting out.
It's important to read alternative media because the alternative media has the best analysis and the best track record, actually, actually of being on the money with predictions about vaccines and about COVID and what the mark of the beast systems that are being rolled out, social credit scoring system, all of that.
But you also have to check the Russian media propaganda to see what they are saying as well.
And then you need to be very nimble.
You need to be able to move assets quickly or cash them out if necessary or transfer them if necessary.
There might be a circumstance where some banks are very weak, but other banks are doing well.
The government will probably bail out J.P. Morgan forever because J.P. Morgan is involved in the suppression of silver prices with the paper contracts.
Maybe Wells Fargo will always be bailed out, but there might be other banks that don't get bailed out.
Kind of what happened in the subprime mortgage collapse.
Remember Bear Stearns?
Yeah?
Yeah, Morgan Stanley, Arthur Anderson, any of these?
Ring a bell.
So I say, this is just my personal advice.
Again, do what's right for you.
But I say, be ready to be nimble.
Do everything you can right now to limit your risk by being out of systems that are currently demonstrating extremely high volatility.
And then watch the news and understand, you know, be able to see through the propaganda of the White House.
And also understand how to decode the propaganda from Russia and Putin.
And I know that's a tall order.
It's difficult to know who's lying, who's telling the truth, which stories are fake, and so on.
It's difficult.
But there are solid ways to reduce your risk and exposure, no matter who's lying or telling the truth.
And I truly believe that one of the best ways is precious metals that are physically in your possession.
And that's why I think silver is sold out for 45 or 60 days at this point and gold is spiking in price and so on.
A lot of people are coming to the same conclusion.
Alright, so that's my take on things.
I want to thank you for listening today.
I'll have a lot more for you tomorrow.
Maybe we'll cover the vaccine developments, but we'll see.
I do not have a good feeling about this week.
I have a very bad vibe that crazy bad things are going to happen.
Perhaps in just days.
I mean something very bad like, I don't know, a chemical weapons attack or a dirty bomb or...
Another bioweapon being released or a battlefield nuke being sent off somewhere.
Something on that order, that scale.
I've got a very bad feeling about this week.
And I know it's not me.
I'm tuning into the vibe of what's happening in the world, and it's not looking good for this week.
So buckle down, get ready, practice preparedness, practice financial safety and risk aversion.
A lot of people are going to get totally wiped out.
And food inflation, it's going to get nasty for the second half of this year.
And scarcity is going to get very bad.
So just be prepared.
Get ready in the time that we have remaining.
That's my advice.
Of course, check out my website, naturalnews.com.
We'll have more articles.
