Situation update for Tuesday, March 29th, 2022.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me.
We're going to start with a video of a 50-car crash in Pennsylvania.
And there's profanity, but we'll bleep it out.
And I'm going to walk you through this video because this is a lesson...
For humanity, it's a much bigger lesson than just a car crash.
This is about the global economic crash that's coming, and it's just perfectly demonstrated in this car crash in Pennsylvania.
So let's roll that, and I'll pause it and give you some comments.
But obviously it was a blizzard, a snowy day.
People were driving too fast, and they just started slamming into each other.
other so here we go go go go go go
Okay, we're 27 seconds into this video, folks, and so far you can see kind of what's going on.
The profanity has not begun yet.
But there's obviously – it's horrible driving conditions, and there's been an accident.
So there's some cars and trucks on the highway, and the people driving – That are coming up onto this scene.
They are, of course, driving way too fast for the conditions.
And this is almost universal.
It's something about humanity.
The way people are wired, they have a normalcy bias of driving at 60 or 70 miles an hour, whatever the speed limit is there.
And they're used to driving that on a warm, dry, sunny day.
And so they also just tend to drive that speed on a snowy blizzard day with limited visibility and very little ability to brake because of the conditions on the road, obviously.
So this is something about humanity that we need to observe, that people have normalcy bias and they move too fast, too quickly into the future to the point where they cannot adjust or navigate their decisions in order to avoid catastrophe.
And so what you're really watching here with this car crash, and we're going to play more here in a second, is this is what happens when you print too much money and then there's an economic collapse coming.
Or when you unleash a depopulation weapon and then people start dying off and you have an economic collapse because of all the die-offs.
Or, you know, many other examples.
But by and large, understand that humanity does not anticipate things that are about to happen.
And that's why most people are not preppers.
But now looking at this video, I want you to notice there is a person, looks like a man, wearing blue jeans and a dark shirt, standing by the driver's side door who's just exited the driver's side of his car.
It's in the middle of the frame right now.
You can see it.
Now, I ask you this question.
Should this person remain standing there?
Think about it.
Standing on a highway, a highway with wrecked cars and trucks, and then there's still a lot of fast-moving traffic coming your way with no ability to stop or slow down or even to see what's about to happen.
Should you be standing there?
Probably not.
That was the first thing.
Even when I watched this video the first time, I was like, dude, you need to get out of that location.
You need to get off the road.
You know, run to the trees to the left, right?
That's where you should go.
Just start running.
But watch what happens next.
And there is some profanity.
We're going to believe it.
Here we go.
Continue.
This is ridiculous.
It's snow and fog mixed together.
And it made the visibility down to zero.
Oh, watch out, watch out!
Oh!
Okay, we're paused at 44 seconds.
Did you notice that that guy is the luckiest guy ever?
He was just standing there in the road, and here comes another car doing what?
60?
70?
I don't know the exact speed, but we can estimate.
Definitely the car that just impacted was not slowing down, right?
And somehow that dude just...
Just missed being splattered all over the place.
In fact, just take another look at that.
And he's apparently okay.
That's why I'm showing it twice.
I don't like to show people being killed.
But this guy just, he was in the correct place where all the kinetic energy went around him.
Let's just see that again.
Ridiculous.
It's snow and fog mixed together and it made the visibility down to zero.
Oh, watch out, watch out!
Oh, God!
Okay, if you caught it, that dude actually, as the impact happened, he did have the sense to finally run towards the trees.
So, it's just like, finally got the idea into his head, like, this is a bad place to be!
In the middle of a shooting gallery of high-velocity metal on a highway, right?
It's just not a good place to stand around, but...
Think about the average American.
They're holding on to dollars in their bank account.
That's the same thing as standing in the middle of a highway in this scene.
You're just standing there with your currency waiting to be wiped out as the dollar collapses.
That's common.
People do this.
You just saw it.
People stand in the middle of the freaking highway when cars and trucks are smashing all around them.
They'll just stand there like, huh, I wonder what I should do now.
This is the way people normally...
I should say non-preppers.
This is the way non-preppers behave.
Because they don't think about anything that's about to happen.
Remember, we're talking about the lack of the ability to anticipate what's going to happen next.
And really, if there's anything that characterizes my own podcast and kind of what I do, it's simply the ability to anticipate what's going to happen next.
Cause and effect.
How can you look at this video and not realize...
There's more cars coming.
You know, I mean, it's a highway.
Yeah, you're on the leading edge of a, you know, a wrecking apocalypse here.
You need to get out of the way.
But let's continue.
There's more!
My car is gone!
I need to get all my car, but it's too dangerous!
And this is on fire!
Oh, look at that!
I need to get the off the road!
Okay, now listen to the guy who's actually talking or kind of yelling and freaking out.
But he's actually, he's not losing his mind.
He's in control.
He has a sense of what's going on.
Number one, notice that he's filming from a relatively safe location, isn't he?
He's filming not from standing in the middle of the highway.
He's filming off on the side.
He's got some sense and he's looking around and he's observing and analyzing what's going on.
He's like, oh my God, the trucks are on fire over there.
Oh my God, my car got smashed.
And he's still keeping his distance from the road because he understands what is a danger zone.
So it sounds like a young man who filmed this, he's got a sense of, well, preparedness or anticipation of what may happen.
And did you see that giant, that red, what was it, a giant tow truck or a crane or fire truck or something that just slid by just now?
Like, you know how much those things weigh?
If you get hit by that, yeah, you're toast.
So this dude was like, oh my god!
But again, he has his wits about him.
So let's continue and see what else happens.
This is crazy!
My car!
No!
Look at that fire!
oh my god dad this is crazy man What am I going to do about the charger?
My charger!
Oh my gosh!
I don't know what that truck is on.
Oh my god, those fires are crazy over there.
I'm not going over there.
I'm going to check out the action over here.
Woo!
Oh, my God.
All right, here we are at the two-minute mark in the video, and what's happened is a...
Well, you could hear a lot of the impacts.
So a large truck has already impacted and blocked off the highway before the section where this man is filming.
So he is now sort of back behind what you might say the front lines of the impacts that are still happening.
And so he's trying to film all of this, but he's noticing there's a fire.
And I don't know if you saw that, but one of the vehicles on fire looked like a fuel truck, like it was carrying maybe propane or diesel or gasoline or something.
It was one of those fuel tankers.
And so the one thing that this man is not necessarily realizing is that he is within the blast radius of that truck.
So If I were there and seeing that, and I saw, oh my gosh, there's a truck on fire, and it looks like the kind of truck that carries, you know, energy products, I would be running the opposite direction deep into the forest and not standing around trying to film that.
I'd be, you know, booking it out of there, that's for sure.
Let's see what happens next.
She don't remember the car she was driving.
Man, I think it's good...
I'm going to try to see if I can start saving people if they're hurt.
So, oh my god, that fire.
Oh man, I'm going to go see if I can f*** someone.
I've got to let you guys go.
I'm sorry.
So interesting, the young man filming this, he realizes that there's no more cars flying across the highway in front of him.
And what does he do?
He realizes, hey, it's time for me to go out and try to see if I can save some people.
And I got to give this guy a major thumbs up.
He's doing exactly the right thing, except perhaps not realizing that a giant fuel truck is about to explode.
But he is thinking about, hey, then maybe people hurt, right?
People smashed, people trapped.
People trapped in vehicles that might be catching on fire.
And now you don't want to rush out there and try to save people when traffic is still coming.
Because that's common sense, right?
But a lot of people don't have common sense anymore.
You want to wait until there's no more collision risk, and then you can jump out there and start talking to people.
Hey, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Do you need help?
You start commanding.
You start asking, and then you start helping wherever you can.
And he had the sense to put his phone away, because he wasn't trying to get clicks and likes.
He's trying to, at this point, just save people.
Right?
So that's a guy with a pretty level head.
That's a guy who's got some experience.
He might have been in the military.
He might have been, I don't know, a Boy Scout or something.
He might have had some law enforcement training or something.
But somebody's got some kind of sense.
And the truth is, a lot of people, maybe most people, don't have that sense.
So let's talk metaphors here.
That highway is the money printing highway.
The money printing machine is the engine that's pushing vehicles down that highway at an incredible speed.
It's the money printer.
Now then, the snow and the fog, the lack of visibility, That's the supply chain collapse and the economic sanctions against Russia causing the deplatforming of Russia and kind of severing many elements of the global supply chain.
So now there's fog where you can't see what's coming.
And then the impacts, you know, the kaboom, that's going to be empty shelves, no food, lack of fertilizer, you know, starvation, economic collapse from rising fuel prices, things like that.
So it's all coming.
And that video just gives us a really, I think, instructive metaphor.
And it shows us that humanity does not...
Well, human beings aren't really good at anticipation.
They're really not.
So if you look at two people playing chess...
The typical chess player, who's not very experienced or not very bright, is looking at the current position and thinking about their one move.
And that's it.
Their one move.
One move puts me in the best possible position.
And they don't anticipate what the opponent may do with their move.
And then they certainly don't anticipate your move as a reaction to that.
And then the opponent's second move.
And then your third move.
And then their third move.
And so on.
Only the chess grandmasters are able to anticipate five, six moves ahead.
And that does take some genius level of intelligence to get that far ahead.
The typical people don't even think one or two moves ahead.
And that's why...
You're probably the kind of person, if you listen to this, you're the kind of person who thinks ahead.
You think many moves ahead.
We all do in the independent media.
And to us, we think that's totally normal.
And that's why we can't figure out sometimes why the oblivious masses are so oblivious.
Like, how could you not see that coming?
I mean, we've been printing money since 1971.
How could you not see the dollar collapse?
But there will be people, you know, people who are standing out in the middle of the highway in the middle of a blizzard with 100,000-pound trucks screaming by.
They will go, oh, the dollar's stable.
The government said so.
Like, dude, you're about to get wiped out.
You should maybe move, move off the money printing highway.
And so if you're moving off the money printing highway, what are you doing?
If you run to the trees on the side of the road, what is that?
You're moving into gold or silver, or you're moving into crypto, or you're buying land or something.
You're getting out of the dollar, you're leaving the money printing highway, and you are chucking it over to something else to get out of the danger zone.
That's the correct metaphor there.
Now, you know who's a good player of chess?
It's Putin.
That's right.
Putin is a really brilliant chess player.
Putin thinks many moves ahead.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to run the equivalent of the CIA in Russia.
And he knows how this is going to play out, or at least he thinks he does.
He has high confidence in it.
And he is now telling people, as of yesterday, to get out of the dollar and the euro and to move into something that is real.
Now, you're going to laugh.
I'll play the video for you here.
There's a translation in it.
You're going to laugh because this is Putin predicting the collapse of the dollar and then saying that people are going to move to Quote, real reserves of raw materials such as land, food, and gold.
And when I heard that, I was like, "Oh my God!
Has Putin been listening to this podcast?" No, that's a joke.
He doesn't need to, because actually what I talk about here is kind of obvious to anybody with a high IQ.
And Putin has a high IQ.
So he's come to a lot of the same conclusions about what holds value.
And it's commodities, like I've been saying, and it's land, and it's gold, and it's food and ammo and things like that.
But it's just kind of eerie to hear Putin almost...
Almost seemingly quoting the things that I've said a thousand times in this podcast.
Now it's, you know, it's, well, it's being confirmed by the leader of one of the world's superpowers.
So check this out.
This is pretty wild.
Let me reiterate, the whole global economy and trade have suffered a major blow, as did the trust in the US dollar as the main reserve currency.
The illegitimate freezing of some of the currency reserves of the Bank of Russia marks the end of the reliability of so-called first-class assets.
In fact, the US and the EU have defaulted on their obligations to Russia.
Now everybody knows that financial reserves can simply be stolen.
And many countries in the immediate future may begin, I am sure this is what will happen, to convert their paper and digital assets into real reserves of raw materials, land, food, gold, and other real assets.
Well, there you go.
So Putin's simply pointing out really the same thing that we pointed out here for quite some time, which is that, you know, number one, the Western financial system has essentially defaulted and declared that if you have reserves that are held in dollars or euros, that those will no longer be considered money.
You can't use them and they are worthless.
Meaning, in essence, again, the Western banks have defaulted on their obligation to honor those currencies.
So you understand, even if $100 billion of U.S. dollars are stored as cash in the Russian central bank, they can't use that cash because no other bank around the world will accept that cash.
So that's one way that the money is, quote, stolen, is simply by disallowing it.
And so Putin is absolutely correct that this has sent a message rippling around the world.
All the other nations of the world are looking at this and saying, whoa, we should never hold dollars as reserve currency, because if we do, they can simply be frozen or stolen at any time.
If the U.S. regime, whatever regime is in charge, decides that they don't like us, they can disconnect us, and basically Western banks aren't banks.
Western central banks aren't central banks.
Western currency reserves are not reserves, and it's all been a fraud.
And so then the logical conclusion from there is that countries around the world are going to move towards currencies that are backed by something real.
And what is real?
What's real in our world?
Well, Putin said some of it.
He didn't say land, food, and gold.
He could have said energy as well.
That's a huge one.
And silver and ammo and whatever.
But think about it.
This is what I've been urging people to do for a couple of years here, if not longer, is to get into real assets because that's the only thing that's going to matter when this is all said and done.
Now, this gets even more interesting because of what I'm going to explain here next.
So you may recall that a few days ago, Who is it?
The energy minister, in conjunction with Putin, they have announced a couple of things.
Number one, they've announced that they will demand payment in rubles or Bitcoin for Russia's natural gas exports, well, and oil exports as well.
And this is two so-called unfriendly countries.
So there are a few countries around the world that, of course, did not sanction Russia.
That includes India and China and Iran and so on.
Those countries can buy oil and energy with whatever currency they want.
So maybe China buys it with a renminbi.
Maybe India buys it with a rupee.
I don't know.
Or maybe they buy rubles and then trade in rubles.
But unfriendly countries, i.e., Germany, Spain, Italy, France, whatever, the UK, the US, Canada, and so on, they're going to be required to buy from Russia in rubles.
So, of course, that means they have to first buy the rubles, which creates demand for rubles.
And then they have to give those rubles to Russia in exchange for the energy.
So that was announced several days ago.
So then the G7 nations just had a meeting in the last 24 hours, and they declared that Russia's demand to get paid in rubles was a violation, a contractual violation of Russia's obligations to provide a certain amount of energy for a certain amount of payment.
And so the G7 nations are out there screaming, you can't demand rubles, this is a breach of contract.
Well, you want to talk about a breach of contract, how about the Western banks seizing the $300 billion in reserve currencies that Russia holds?
That's a breach of contract.
That's a major default.
But, of course, Western nations won't talk about that.
So, The G7 nations again are rejecting this idea that they have to buy energy in rubles.
So then Russia, and I forgot which person in Russia had this response, but this came out in the last 24 hours.
They said, well, look, we're not in the charity business here.
We're not going to give away our energy for free.
And what he meant is that if they take payment in dollars or if they take payment in euros, Russia can't use dollars or euros because they've been disconnected from the entire Western banking system.
So there's actually no point in taking payment in dollars or euros.
Otherwise, those payments are essentially you're giving away the energy for free because, again, you can't use that currency.
So what Russia is saying is, of course, we're not going to accept dollars or euros.
We can't use those currencies because you, the West, disconnected us from the entire global economic infrastructure.
Therefore, we have to demand rubles.
That's the only form of payment that actually counts.
Or gold or Bitcoin, they said, also.
They'll take payments in Bitcoin, and of course, they will always take gold.
So now a deadline has been set for this.
The deadline is March 31st.
It's just coming up.
Isn't that this Thursday?
Yeah, it's just a couple days away, right?
So apparently by Friday, Russia will no longer sell energy to anybody in dollars and euros.
They will demand rubles.
That happens Friday.
According to Russia, that happens Friday.
If this is enforced, what do you think is going to happen to the price of gold on Friday?
Or the price of silver, or the price of energy, for that matter.
Talk about a major reset.
You see, so much of Western Europe, its economy depends on energy from Russia.
And even America is still buying some crazy amount, I don't know how many million barrels of oil a day that America is still purchasing from Russia right now.
The economic sanctions did not target Russia's energy sector because America and the West, they all need Russia's energy.
So as of this coming Friday, three days away, if Russia enforces what it says it's going to enforce, energy sales stop from Russia to Western Europe.
Western Europe has a couple of weeks buffer.
That's about it.
A couple of weeks before they have no more natural gas stored up.
And you've already seen signs of diesel fuel rationing, right?
Talk about that in the UK and in Spain and so on.
There are riots happening in other countries.
There's a story about fuel riots in Sri Lanka, by the way.
That's something else.
I'm not even going to cover that, probably.
What do you think is going to happen when Russia cuts off energy exports on Friday?
Yeah, by next week.
The world markets are going to be in a freaking panic.
And one of the things that people are going to realize all over the world is that dollars are worthless when it comes to buying anything that Russia has to offer.
And remember, that's not just energy and oil.
It's also minerals.
It's aluminum and lithium and copper and so on.
And silver, by the way.
So we could be looking at a financial reset actually beginning.
A big milestone could be this Friday.
Unless somebody backs off of that.
But I don't think, I mean, personally, I don't think Putin's going to back off.
Why would he?
Why would they ever take dollars for energy?
That's like giving it away for free because, again, you can't use the dollars if you're Russia.
But consider the arrogance of the West in all of this, right?
Here's the arrogance of the West.
It's like, you know, bleep you, Russia.
We're going to disconnect you from the financial system.
We're going to destroy you.
We're going to call for regime change, which is what Biden did.
We're going to blockade you.
Economic sanctions.
Act of war.
And then we're going to keep demanding that we buy energy from you, and we're going to pay you, and we're going to demand that you accept the currency that you can't use because we cut you off from the Western banking system.
So here, have these dollars, just like, like throwing useless confetti, like throwing toilet paper at food.
Here, have this crap.
Give us your oil.
Give us your energy for nothing.
We're just going to print more money.
Like, that's the attitude of the West.
Do you think that's going to be convincing?
Is that influential or persuasive to Putin?
The chess master?
The grand master of chess compared to Biden who can't even figure out how to play checkers.
I mean, not even.
He's like, these are checkers?
What are the colored squares for?
Unbelievable.
You think Putin's going to just stand back and give away his energy for free in exchange for useless collapsing dollars?
No.
Not going to happen.
I don't see that happening.
Now, here's the other thing.
It has been rumored now that Russia is pegging the rubles to gold.
Now, I've not completely confirmed this, but there are rumors circulating that it's going to be 5,000 rubles per gram of gold.
So that if you have 5,000 rubles, you could trade it in, you could get a gram of gold.
Russia, in other words, is creating a gold-backed national currency.
But it's also backed by demand for energy as of this Friday, you see.
So now it's a double-backed currency.
And this is what Putin was talking about in his speech.
He's like, everybody in the world is going to be looking for safe havens of, what do you say, gold and land and food?
And again, he could have said energy.
If you can take rubles and trade them for natural gas, barrels of oil, or physical gold, that gives you three awesome options if you're a country.
Three awesome options of stuff that everybody needs.
Everybody needs gold.
Everybody needs oil.
Everybody needs natural gas, you know, to make fertilizer and to heat buildings and to run industry and so on and so forth.
Everybody needs those three things right now.
Maybe in 100 years we'll have some super-duper high-tech, electrified economy with little Mr.
Fusion machines everywhere, and we don't need oil, and we don't need natural gas, we don't need all that energy.
Maybe that's coming.
Maybe it's only going to take 10 years.
But today, people need hydrocarbons.
Today.
Because the economy runs on hydrocarbons.
By the way, I'm a proponent of free energy.
I already know that we don't need the oil industry to run the world's economy.
We actually don't.
We can do that with low energy nuclear reactions, cold fusion systems that exist right now.
But that's all being suppressed and that's a different discussion.
Right now, everybody needs oil just to power their economies and to feed their people.
So let's say you are country X out there.
You're just some country.
And you're thinking about where should you put your reserves?
You've got some savings at a national level, and you want to save money.
You want to put it into a currency.
Are you going to choose the U.S. dollar, where the insane lunatics running America, who are a bunch of pedophiles, are printing trillions of dollars like mad, thereby devaluing the dollar at an insane pace?
Are you going to invest in that currency, backed by nothing?
Or are you going to go look at Russia and say, whoa, this is backed by oil and energy and gold?
Maybe we'll bet on that currency because we can always trade it for gold.
Which one are you going to pick?
The answer is obvious.
You're going to pick the ruble.
You're going to pick the ruble.
Unless you're a country like Taiwan that is very much beholden to the U.S. for the national defense aspects of defending against China.
I mean, Taiwan's going to go along with America no matter what.
But truly neutral countries that are out there that don't need the U.S. to defend them, and there's over 100 of such countries out there, they're going to start looking at this and going, whoa, Russia's got a way better deal here.
Currency backed by something real.
So, folks, in summary, the world is about to change, and it looks like one of the pivotal milestones could be this Friday.
It's going to be remembered throughout history as the day that the collapse of the dollar really took a leap into the abyss.
And that's because Russia stopped accepting dollars and euros as payments for its energy exports.
And from that day forward, it seems likely we're going to see an accelerating shift towards non-dollar currencies.
Who needs the petrodollar when you can have the hydrocarbon ruble or the goldback ruble?
So, yeah, a lot is changing very rapidly.
And what this means for those holding the dollars, of course, is they're going to be like that poor sob out there standing in the highway, in the blizzard, in the fog, as the oncoming traffic just slams into you and destroys you and your cars and all your possessions and so on.
That's what it's going to be like to hold dollars as the dollar collapse takes place.
You're just going to be wiped out.
You're going to be left with nothing.
I mean, yeah, you'll still have dollars in the bank.
They just won't buy you anything.
It's like, look, I'm rich.
I've got $500,000.
And people are like, oh, so what?
Remember that store down the road called the Dollar Store?
Yeah, they had to change their name.
It's now called the Million Dollar Store.
Hyperinflation, you know.
Everything in there is a million dollars.
So with your half a million dollars, you can't even buy a stapler.
Good luck with that.
Oh, you kept holding on to dollars, really, as the whole thing collapsed?
Wow.
Sorry to hear that.
Not a good investment move.
Okay, now let's change the subject.
We've got some other things to cover here.
Now, many of you have seen this event, this thing that happened at the Oscars two nights ago.
Will Smith slapped the crap out of Chris Rock and saw that.
I normally don't comment on celebrities and Hollywood and all that garbage.
It's pretty obvious to me this was all contrived in order to try to get people talking about the Oscars because otherwise nobody had any idea that it was even on.
It's like, who cares what these Hollywood people think?
Who cares?
The whole Hollywood infrastructure is not pedophiles and woke tards, a bunch of creepy people.
I mean, who cares what they think?
They're irrelevant to what's happening in the world.
So they had to come up with something.
And it was, you know, Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife who has a shaved bald head, I guess, because of – I think it's because of a medical condition.
It's like J.D. or J. Lee or Jaden.
I don't know everybody's name.
But anyway, Chris Rock made a joke about her and said, looking forward to G.I. Jane 2, starring Will Smith's wife.
And then Will Smith...
Got all manly and angry and walked, like kind of marched towards Chris Rock, who was on stage delivering his monologue.
And then Will Smith slapped the crap out of him.
And it was a big, you know, a big powerful slap.
And Chris Rock said, well, I just got the bleep slapped out of me by Will Smith or something like that.
And then everybody's talking about this thing, including now.
Unfortunately, we're talking about it, too.
I'm not going to spend much time on it.
I just want to point out two things.
Number one, this is contrived.
This is a publicity stunt.
And they're actors, okay?
Will Smith is an actor.
And Chris Rock is an actor.
And they're good at acting.
So they're very convincing, right?
They pulled it off.
It almost looked kind of real.
Secondly, I do want to point out, in terms of the culture wars in America...
That this could have only been pulled off by a black man slapping Chris Rock because of, dare I say, black privilege in America.
So can you imagine the reaction if a white actor marched up there and bitch slapped Chris Rock across the face if he was a white guy doing that?
Do you realize, you know, he would have been tackled, he would have been beaten by security, the whole audience would have gasped, the media would have said, oh my God, it shows the white culture of violence against black people, and so on and so forth, right?
Oh, the racism and the KKKs, it's invaded Hollywood, look at this white actor's violence, it's assault, and Chris Rock would have pressed charges too, right?
But when it's Will Smith...
Oh, you got black privilege, Will.
You got some real good, juicy black privilege.
Because Will Smith gets to slap the crap out of Chris Rock and just walk away and then win an award.
That's right.
He got an award.
I think it was Best Actor or something.
And I think the award was for the false flag that he just pulled off there.
The Bitch Slap Award.
That's pretty good acting there, both of you.
And Chris Rock, of course, is not pressing charges.
So just think about this, folks.
Every time you hear some libtard leftist claim that you're living in a world with white privilege, just think of Will Smith.
Because that's not white privilege, folks.
That is 100% black privilege.
On display.
On live television.
Black privilege.
And by the way, you know what's kind of funny about this is...
Let's talk about the truth.
About...
When kids growing up in black households in America, if you were a kid, and I'm talking about if you were growing up in the era when I was growing up, like the 1970s or even the 1980s, if you were a foul-mouthed kid and your parents caught you cursing or saying something nasty, oh, they would beat the snot out of you, you know?
The black father would just slap the crap out of the kid for using the F word or whatever.
And that was actually, I mean, I don't condone violence either, but that was part of the learning process.
If you were a kid and you dropped F-bombs and you got slapped across the face hard by your dad, you It made you think twice about doing that ever again.
And again, I'm not advocating violence of any kind.
I'm just saying that that was part of the culture.
You go back in time It was even crazier.
Parents would paddle their children for being caught or for failing to do chores or whatever.
You go back in the 1960s, the 1950s, and actually the violence increases in both black families and white families and so on.
The more you go back in time, it was more violent, just the whole spectrum of it.
Where now today, sometime, I don't know, in the 1990s or the 2000s, it became wrong to have any kind of punishment to children.
And then parenting became this pathetic friendship thing, I guess, in the 2000s and the 2010s, where children are now running the household and ordering their parents around.
And I've seen that myself, where children are like, make me a sandwich, mom, make me a sandwich.
And I'm like, okay, I'll make you a sandwich.
Clean my room!
Do my laundry!
You know, the snotty little kid.
That's what it has become today, where now, see, if you go back in the 1950s and 60s, many parents were abusing their children.
Now, the children are abusing their parents.
My, how times have changed.
You know somebody like this?
Children abuse their parents because their parents are weak-willed, spineless, pathetic jellyfish who don't have any boundaries or rules because that's what society has become today.
Everybody's supposed to feel good and get along and every view has value and we'll just agree to disagree and whatever.
This is all libtard crap.
And frankly, every once in a while, You know, somebody does need to pull a Will Smith and stop that lunacy before it grows.
You know what I mean?
Just like, it'd be like, pow!
You know, think twice about what you did.
Like, if you caught your kid shoplifting or something, right?
Stealing from the store.
And they come home with stolen goods.
You know, it's like, whack!
You take those goods back to the store.
We're going to march you back there.
We're going to give it back and we're going to pay the store for it and let them keep it.
That kind of a lesson.
Sometimes a non-permanent but shocking slap across the face just gets somebody's attention and say, oh, you're making a mistake.
Right?
But then again, I'm not a parent, so I'm not necessarily qualified to talk about parenting, I suppose.
Just my observations.
All right, let's get down to some other topics.
You know, our Ranger buckets are being released today at the Health Ranger store.
That's healthrangerstore.com.
They're probably going to be sold out really fast.
So I'm trying to keep this update short so that the file gets posted more quickly in the morning.
It might go live around 10.30 or 11 a.m.
Central Time.
If you want to get some of the Ranger buckets, that's your very limited window of opportunity.
I'm sorry we don't have more.
We're trying.
We're really trying.
We are working hard to get more buckets to you, to get more buckets made, but it's very difficult.
All right.
Secondly, today's sponsor is the Satellite Phone Store, SAT123.com, two-way satellite text messaging devices.
We're using them.
They're working great.
They're called BivySticks, B-I-V-Y. And you can send and receive text messages via satellite, just like sending and receive to a regular phone number.
That's the other thing.
They have regular U.S. phone numbers.
I probably forgot to mention that.
So just like you're texting somebody else's cell phone, but they're getting it via satellite, then they can reply to you, and it's just like you got a reply from somebody else's phone, but it's actually a satellite device.
So that's pretty cool.
Check it out, sat123.com.
Alright, now here's a headline from estrangesounds.org.
In Sri Lanka, reports of deaths, violence, and protests increase as people are dying, waiting for fuel.
I thought this was a really important story to cover.
After France, Spain, and Albania, Russia's invasion of Ukraine increases brutal protests in Sri Lanka amid the country's worst economic crisis since their independence in 1948.
So in the past 48 hours, three men have died in different parts of Sri Lanka, waiting in line for fuel.
Let's see.
The third man reached the end of the line and managed to fill three cans, only to collapse as he was carrying the third can to his vehicle.
The men died before they could be taken to hospitals.
The long hours of waiting proved too much for their frail bodies.
Okay.
So they're passing out while they're waiting in line for fuel.
Now, we have a contact living in Kiev, in Ukraine, and he's been telling me that, yes, they still have a food supply there in Kiev, but they have to wait long hours.
It's an exercise of waiting in line to get some food, like four hours in some cases, for example.
And there's not much of a selection of places to get food, right?
Not all the usual stores are open.
There's only one or two in this part of Kiev, I'm told.
This is something that the world is going to see a lot of in the coming months, just this year.
Going to see a lot of people waiting in line for fuel and waiting in line for food.
And then we're going to have the food rationing and the fuel rationing.
So think about rationing and think about price controls and think about severe limits in the marketplace, especially think about if Russia enforces its demand for rubles this Friday.
Then Russia is not going to sell oil to anybody, especially not America or Canada or the UK or what have you.
So we're going to have, of course, a reduction in the amount of oil supply available.
So we could have rationing of diesel or gasoline.
Even though America was a net producer and exporter of energy under Trump, that was all reversed the first day that Joe Biden got into the fake Oval Office after the Democrats rigged the election and stole it all.
So what's happening in Sri Lanka is going to be, I think, a very good, almost a preview of what's coming to America and other countries.
From the Strange Sounds story, quote, there are power cuts for several hours a day.
Most families now rely on fuel to power their homes, you know, generators and such.
Basic necessities have become so scarce that people are lining up for rations of rice, lentils, milk powder, and sugar.
Amid what the government calls the country's worst economic crisis since 1948, the island's people have been facing acute shortages of basics such as food, oil, and paper, along with soaring inflation, which is at 17.5%, which is among the 11 worst in the world.
So Sri Lanka has a very strong tourism industry, and most of the tourism was from Ukraine and Russia.
So obviously that's not happening right now.
And then there's a spokesperson there who says that the Russia invasion and the economic sanctions against Russia have aggravated the situation in Sri Lanka.
Quote, prices will be hiked to an unmanageable scale, and it is not clear how Russia can pay for exports with those sanctions in place.
Right, of course.
Because Russia is not allowed to use dollars or euros.
All right, so get this.
Get this.
Experts have flagged Sri Lanka's import restriction on 367 items, which include food items like milk, lentils, and eggs.
And so these 367 items are now categorized as, quote, non-essential, and they are now only allowed to be purchased by valid license holders.
Oh, okay.
So who grants the licenses?
The government does.
So how does the government grant the license?
Well, you bribe the government official that grants the license.
Obviously, this is how it works in most of the world, frankly.
Pretty much all the world.
So you have to get a license.
You have to pay a bribe to get a license.
And then once you get a license, you have kind of a government-granted near monopoly on whatever you're importing because you got the license.
And so you import, and then you price gouge, and then, of course, the local poor people pay the price, and then you end up with an uprising and, you know, protests and long lines and people losing their minds and people getting killed and passing out in the lines and so on and so forth.
So that's Sri Lanka.
I think this is a preview of things to come for America and Western Europe and Canada and so on, really.
Watch what's happening in Sri Lanka because it's going to spread.
Now, there's something else that's important here.
This is from realclearpolicy.com.
An article entitled, The U.S. Solar Supply Chain is Under Attack.
Now, when I was reading this article, I immediately realized that this is an article funded by some people in the solar industry, no doubt about it.
In fact, the authors are like, what, the president of the Edison Electric Institute and The CEO of the American Clean Power Association, and another person is CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association.
So they all have financial interests in making sure that solar is affordable and embraced in America.
But with that understood, that inherent bias understood, they have an article that's still worth reading.
It's called The U.S. Solar Supply Chain is Under Attack, and they're talking about how the Biden administration is Well, under Biden, the U.S. Department of Commerce is going to apply major tariffs to the solar panels that are imported from Asian countries.
Now, the flip side of this, and by the way, this is usually under Section 301 Trade Policy.
The flip side of this is there have been accusations over the years that China has been dumping solar panels into the United States market in order to destroy the business viability of domestic producers and suppliers.
Right.
So this is an old trick that China has used and other countries have used for a long time.
So they'll sell a bunch of products at way below cost in order to drive businesses into bankruptcy.
And then after that happens, then they'll raise their prices.
So I know there are allegations that China is dumping solar panels.
But one of the benefits of that dumping is that solar energy has been very affordable for Americans to purchase over the last few years.
Now, the sanctions that are going to be placed against Asian exporters of solar panels, they may be valid under anti-dumping laws.
But what it's going to cause is solar panels to become much more expensive in the United States.
So I'm not arguing about the policy.
That's for the policymakers to figure out.
All I'm saying is that the end result is going to be much more expensive solar.
Now, remember that we are told that we have to get rid of fossil fuels and dependence on Russia because solar power and green energy and electric vehicles, that this is the answer to everything.
you know, wind farms and things like that.
But what we're not told by the White House and Jen Psaki and others is that, number one, the prices of solar panels are about to skyrocket because of these trade sanctions.
Secondly, the rare earth minerals and metals that go into solar panels and wind farms and so on, and even inverters and other equipment.
Well, a whole lot of those are mined in Russia and Ukraine or China, communist countries.
And these rare earth metals are very difficult to get.
And they're in short supply.
And And thirdly, When it comes to electric vehicles, where does the lithium come from?
You know, Russia, Ukraine, and other countries, but there's a significant portion of lithium and aluminum that comes out of Russia and Ukraine.
And also, you know, other minerals we've talked about before, cobalt and copper and manganese and so on.
So if you're trying to say, well, we're going to be free from Russia and from Russia's oil, By everybody driving electric vehicles, all you're going to do is transfer dependence onto China and Russia for the minerals that you need to build electric vehicles and EV batteries and solar panels and so on.
And then there's the question of the power grid itself, which is not yet strong enough in America.
It's not built up to be able to handle the charging of electric vehicles.
It just takes a lot of power.
It's just not set up for that.
They'd have to revamp entire cities in terms of how much power comes in.
Which means, of course, they would have to upgrade the coal-fired power plants, right?
That are providing mostly electricity that charges electric cars across America.
So if you have to upgrade the coal-fired power plants, then you're going to need to increase coal mining.
Common sense, right?
Cause and effect.
You've got to increase coal mining.
Let me ask you this.
Are the Democrats, if they remain in power, are they going to authorize any increases in coal mining in America?
Oh, of course not!
Because they say coal is the enemy of the world, that if we burn more coal, we're all going to die from climate change.
So if you think about what the Democrats are actually offering here, They're saying, let's get rid of gas and oil and let's move over to this electric ecosystem, this energy infrastructure, that then we won't let you use because we'll restrict coal and we'll restrict pipelines.
And then we'll put economic sanctions on countries that export the components that you would need to buy to get off-grid, you know, solar panels and such.
So you got it?
That's what Democrats are saying.
Like, let's reject oil.
Let's move over to an electric infrastructure that doesn't really exist.
Good luck with that!
And then, you know, you can spend your time standing at a Tesla charging station, picking your nose for six hours, waiting for your car to charge up, or just waiting in line for all the people in front of you who are also charging their cars.
And then, you know, again, you find out the whole dang thing is running on a giant diesel generator back behind a cornered lot, all powered by diesel anyway.
You should have just bought a diesel truck.
So this whole thing is a bait-and-switch tactic.
You know, it's Biden and Jen Psaki telling you the reason gas prices are so high is because of Russia, Russia, Russia.
Remember, the Russians did it.
And then you buy an electric vehicle, and it's going to cost $100,000 because, of course, lithium is going through the roof, and so is aluminum and everything else.
So you spend $100,000 if you can afford it on this electric vehicle, and then they're going to tell you, oh, and by the way, can't really charge it.
Because you're going to have, you know, energy consumption quotas.
That's right.
We're going to have an all-in-one, all-encompassing passport for you.
On that passport, it's your energy quota.
It's going to be your food rationing passport and your vaccine passport also.
And, of course, also how much fuel you can buy at the gas station.
So it's going to be tied into your home consumption of electricity.
How much you buy at the fuel pump, and then also, like I said, food as well.
It's all going to be, and vaccine compliance.
And if you don't have vaccine compliance, your food quota will be reduced, and your energy allowance will be reduced.
So essentially, this is a carbon footprint Depopulation app.
It's tracking and then stacking the bodies that are going to be piling up as people die from starvation and lack of heating energy and so on.
This is what's coming for our world.
And you can just see them building this anti-solution.
They're building a death trap, which is to have no energy to run the cities of Western nations.
No energy, right?
No civilization.
No farming, no agriculture, no food.
No food, no rule of law.
No rule of law, no country.
Boom, the demise of America has been or will be accomplished by these lunatics that have been trying to bring it down.
So this is how they're doing it.
If you've ever wondered, how are they going to destroy America?
You're watching it.
You're living it.
It's playing out in real time.
Oh, by the way, a couple of updates on Russia.
Mariupol has fallen, just as our sources told us last week that Mariupol had fallen.
It is now fully occupied by Russia, and the mayor of Mariupol, which is a southeastern city in Ukraine, the mayor has ordered a complete evacuation of the city.
So the mayor's name is Vadim Boichenko, and he announced that his city is in the hands of the occupiers.
He said, unfortunately, we are in the hands of the occupiers today.
He called for total evacuation of all Ukrainians from the city.
Initially, there were 400,000 people there, and now not so many, because people are leaving.
Of course, they're evacuating.
He says we have to completely evacuate Mariupol.
Okay.
So I ask you this.
Remember that the official Western narrative for the past two weeks has been that Russia is losing badly and that Russia is being pushed back and they've run out of ammo and that their soldiers are freezing and they have no more missiles and that the Ukrainian army is winning and pushing the invaders out.
So I just ask you, logically...
If that were true, how is it that Mariupol has fallen?
How is it that the mayor of Mariupol is ordering the final evacuation of the city?
See, if Russia is seizing cities and the mayor says we have to evacuate because the city has fallen, how does that mean that Ukraine is winning?
That doesn't make sense to me.
Doesn't make sense.
In fact, of course, you know, a lot of what has come out of the West on all this has been nothing but propaganda.
And then in related news, Joe Biden is now trying to walk back his comments where he was calling for regime change in Russia.
In a speech a few days ago, he had said, I'm paraphrasing, but he had said that basically the Russian government needs to murder Putin and take him out, that Putin can't be allowed to continue to live.
And then in the last 24 hours or so, he's been walking that back, and he was asked by reporters, Like, what did you mean when you said that?
And Joe Biden basically answered, I never said that.
What are you talking about?
Never said any of that.
Like, you're misinterpreting what I said.
No, we're not.
You clearly called for regime change in Russia.
You called for Putin to be taken out.
You just don't remember it, do you?
Because you were reading a cue card or something.
It turns out that Biden was getting a lot of pushback from inside the State Department and other sectors of the government to say, hey, man, whoa, you don't call for a foreign leader to be executed by his own people.
That is not the way to have diplomacy, you know?
And you're actually backing Russia into a corner from which Putin may get rather desperate and, you know, launch nukes and things like that.
But you see, that's what Biden's trying to do.
Remember, Biden, who's working with Obama, they want Russia to nuke America.
Everything that they're doing is designed to achieve that goal.
Only when you understand that does everything make sense.
Suddenly, you know, all current events make sense in that context.
But if you think that Biden is actually trying to protect America, then you're all confused.
Like, why would he say that?
Yeah.
It helps to have knowledge, doesn't it?
Well, you and I have a lot of knowledge.
In fact, maybe at times, too much, right?
They knew too much.
And when you know a lot about what's happening in the world, you can't put it back in the box.
You can't suddenly become blissfully ignorant again.
You know, you can't unknow the things that you know.
And that's true with everybody around the world.
And this is why the mass awakening is accelerating.
The red pilling is taking place because people can't unlearn the things they've learned over the last two plus years about how the government's trying to kill them, about how money isn't money, or about how the vaccines are depopulation weapons.
And so on and so forth.
So we are in a mass awakening moment.
It is accelerating by the day.
And again, a major pivot day is going to be this Friday to see what Russia does with energy exports and the currencies that it accepts, i.e.
the ruble versus the dollar and the euro.
But I would just say, at least research the possibility that if you have any plans to own gold or silver, you might want to get that squared away by the end of day Thursday.
I'm just saying.
Just saying.
We'll see what happens.
I mean, I don't have a crystal ball.
And who knows?
Maybe Putin backs off of what he's threatening to do.
But if he doesn't, then I have a feeling that gold and silver explode.
And maybe that's going to happen next week.
Maybe not on Friday itself.
And the banks are going to be selling paper gold desperately to try to keep the price down.
And maybe they can keep it suppressed for a while longer, but not forever.
At least that's my assessment.
We'll see.
We'll see where it goes.
But thank you for listening and thank you for your support.
Of course, be sure to check out healthrangerstore.com today if you want some of the Ranger buckets, if there are any left.
And we're doing our best, but we have a limited supply.
But I thank you for your support nonetheless, and I'll be back with you tomorrow with another update of whatever craziness unfolds over the next 24 hours, plus probably some prepping wisdom to share with you as well.
God bless you.
Thank you for your support.
Talk to you tomorrow.
