Time Text
Clickety-clack.
Clickety-clack.
Hey, Joe Biden!
I want my money back!
Yeah, welcome to the Situation Update for April 1st, 2022.
Mike Adams here, and that was the sound of silver coins clacking against each other.
Right there, a little stack of silver for you.
sharing this with you is because, well, what we're going to cover today is just red alert bombshell news about what's happening with the collapse, the demise of the dollar, and some decisions that Biden is making that are, of course, accelerating that.
And the fiscal emergency that we are all in right now, that still most people are not aware of what's happening, but everything has been set into motion for the total destruction of the fiat currency dollar And it's an emergency that's being engineered to drive people into, of course, central bank digital currencies, the digital wallet mark of the beast control system.
So here's the insane news on the economic front that has just come out.
First of all, Biden has proposed a budget for 2023, a federal budget.
And the word budget really shouldn't even apply to this because there's no budget concept.
It's just mad spending.
Anyway, it's $5.8 trillion in just one year.
That's about a trillion every two months.
Now, remember when I said that we were going to get to about a trillion per month?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's coming soon.
Have no illusions about that.
So for next year, we're going to be at a trillion dollars every two months.
That's the proposed budget.
And of course, where are they going to get those trillions?
Well, they only collect, what, a little over three trillion in taxes.
So of course, they're going to have to print the trillions.
So it's trillions more in money printing, and we're already at $30 trillion in debt.
The hyperinflation feedback loop, you know, the feedback loop of doom is upon us.
And soon, well, actually, it's already begun.
They're just printing money to buy assets in the stock market, you know, to allow corporations to buy back their own stocks.
And these super wealthy investment fund companies are buying up thousands of residential homes across America, paying insane prices for them.
They are setting the stage for the total collapse of the dollar, the collapse of the economy, the collapse of the food supply, and the scenario where you own nothing.
And that's where most people are going to end up, and I'm sorry to be so blunt about this, but you know this is true, and you've already taken steps, I know, to avoid being destroyed in this.
But the people who are oblivious, they will end up owning nothing.
No home, no bank account that matters because the dollar is going to zero.
They will have nothing unless they have physical gold and silver.
And land, and ammunition, vehicles, something physical, all the things we've talked about.
So one of the key concepts to understand in this, and this is critical because none of us have ever lived through what we're about to experience.
We've never seen it before in our lives.
In fact, in the history of the world, no one's ever seen this.
Not even our grandparents or ancestors who lived through the Great Depression, for example.
That's nothing compared to what's coming.
But the things that people assign value to right now, they all have counterparty risk.
And they're all tied to the dollar fiat currency.
So if you own stocks, there's a counterparty risk.
You don't really own anything.
You have an agreement.
You know, a virtual chunk of a corporation that's supposed to pay you dividends.
But it all depends on the dollar and the banking system.
If you own treasury bills, let's say, or if you own municipal bonds or any kind of bonds, you have counterparty risk.
Even if you hold dollars, you have counterparty risk because the dollars are only worth something if the Federal Reserve says it's worth something.
And if you don't believe me, just ask Vladimir Putin.
Who found out that the dollars that he holds are worth nothing because the Western banks just said we won't recognize those dollars anymore.
Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of dollars.
I'm like, nah, you can't use it.
So even if you're holding dollars, you think that's money?
It ain't money, folks.
And I never use the word ain't, so that just tells you how much I'm trying to emphasize this.
It ain't money.
It's not money at all.
Dollars are debt notes.
And it's a debt that the central bank may decide not to honor.
In fact, bank account standings or numbers in the bank account, checking or savings or what have you, those don't represent money either.
Those represent bank liabilities which they may or may not ever pay out on.
Just because you think you have money in the bank doesn't mean jack, frankly.
It doesn't mean anything.
If they decide not to honor it, such as with a bail-in, then they don't honor it.
So whether you're talking about even derivatives or ETFs, Or paper-based bets on commodities or stocks, bonds, anything like that.
It's not money and it all has counterparty risk, which means it's worth nothing if the party on the other side of that trade collapses or becomes insolvent or the system breaks down.
There are very few assets that have no counterparty risk whatsoever.
And they're the ones I've been recommending.
And they're the ones, by the way, that Putin is now talking about, which is kind of hilarious.
And it's gold and silver, land, you know, things that are real.
I guess in Putin's case, it's energy and natural gas, oil.
But it's probably not feasible for you to stockpile natural gas.
You don't have a giant natural gas tank on your property.
The homeowners association might have a hard time with that.
What is that giant blimp looking piece of metal in the driveway?
Oh, I'm stockpiling natural gas.
It's a commodities bet.
Yeah.
They're not going to like that.
But you can have gold or silver or land or ammunition or vehicles or tractors and all these things we've talked about.
And those are the only things that don't have counterparty risk because gold is gold.
Gold has value.
There's no party on the other side of the gold.
If you have the gold in your hand or the silver right here, you hear that?
That's my silver in my hand.
There's no counterparty risk.
There's nothing that can collapse the silver.
Unless the laws of physics collapse, in which case we're all gone anyway.
The only way to collapse the silver...
Would be for, I don't know, the strong nuclear force of atomic nuclei were to suddenly change its constant value or something.
Everything blows up, including the sun and the earth and the moon and all matter in the universe ceases to exist.
And then in that case, you're not going to be worried about your retirement.
We're all going to be now living in the cloud, right?
The cloud of cosmic dust.
So accurately stated, unless the laws of physics change, gold and silver and land and so on, they have inherent value, including ammunition.
They have inherent value, zero counterparty risk.
Now, My urgent warning today is I've been monitoring the financial situation all day.
Not just watching the news and listening to interviews of a lot of really intelligent people whose books I read and so on who are financial geniuses.
I made some phone calls today and I talked to some gold-related companies, some who are gold dealers, some who offer vaulted gold storage and things like that, because I wanted to get an assessment of what's going on.
And what I'm told today is that in just the past week, there has been an insane surge in In new people demanding new accounts, new physical gold and silver, A lot of new people who have never been in gold and silver before are jumping in, and they're all doing it for the exact same reason.
You know what that reason is?
Because they're fleeing the dollar.
They're escaping the fiat currency because they know that it is collapsing.
And it's not even that people want to buy silver or gold.
It's not like they just want, like, oh, I just want to have a lot of silver on the shelf just because it's shiny.
No.
No.
It's not that.
They're just trying to get rid of the dollar and get into something that holds value.
And that's the beauty of gold and silver, is it's something that holds value.
But people are buying cars.
People are buying stored fuel, which means getting rid of dollars and trading it for things that are real.
And people, of course, buying firearms and ammunition.
And here is my belief.
I'm going to share this with you.
This is my assessment.
You've got to decide, obviously, what's right for you.
But in my assessment...
We are going to be living off of whatever gold and silver we can manage to get before the dollar collapse, because the dollar is going to be useless, absolutely useless.
The Western banks will be mostly useless.
There won't be ATMs.
The banks will not function.
The dollar won't be accepted by anybody, which means dollar-based cash won't work either.
The only thing that's going to keep us alive, you and I and those like us, is going to be gold and silver or other things that you could trade, like ammunition, for example.
Whatever you have that's barterable.
And today, April 1st, 2022, today is the day that the dollar's death is Begins its accelerated plunge into nothingness.
Because today is the day, of course, that Russia says it's going to start enforcing the ruble requirement for unfriendly countries who are purchasing energy from Russia.
Now, there has been some clarification on that from Russia over the past two days, a little bit of clarification, where it seems like they may not enforce everything today, but that today is the beginning of the gradual implementation of the enforcement.
So I think it depends on which contracts they have and, you know, sort of a rolling payment schedule.
With various countries and Germany in particular depends very heavily on gas from Russia, right?
And there are a lot of different contracts involved in delivering gas on a daily basis to Germany.
And there are probably many different payment schedules and so on.
There might be some contracts that are paid daily, others that are paid every week.
Some might be paid in advance, a month in advance for a discount or something like that.
I mean, I'm just guessing, but this is the way these complex systems usually work.
So it's going to be a rolling implementation of the ruble requirement.
But it begins today.
Beginning today and over the next several months, these NATO nations are either going to start ponying up rubles, which they would have to buy on the open market, or gold, perhaps, which they won't do, or their energy is going to be cut off.
And this is going to be enforced by Putin.
He signed the order in the last 24 hours to enforce the cutting off of gas to Western Europe if they refuse to pay in rubles.
So it's now official.
Putin already signed the order, and it's going to start being implemented today.
Now the G7 nations have said, oh, we're not going to do that.
It's a breach of contract.
Guess what?
It's not a breach of contract.
Because all of these contracts have a clause called force majeure, right?
Force majeure, you know, an act of God or act of nature.
And because all the contracts have that in them, it means that if there is war or some kind of similar event that is, you know, catastrophic, unexpected black swan type of thing, such as, boom, economic sanctions warfare against Russia, then Russia has the right to alter its commitments on the contracts because of force majeure.
So Russia absolutely has the legal right and the contractual right to say, well, because the West cut off our ability to use dollars and euros, therefore, we're going to invoke force majeure.
And now the new terms of this contract are that you pay in rubles or we don't deliver the gas.
And the Western nations are going to pout and scream and make a scene, you know, like a little child who wants the candy at the candy store.
And then Russia's going to turn off their gas.
Trust me, this is coming.
Again, not all today, but it's going to be gradual.
You're going to hear about this over the next several weeks and months.
Gas is going to get turned off.
And when the gas gets turned off...
Germany's economy collapses, just so you know, and the economies of the UK and France and other NATO countries get hurt badly.
Badly.
So right now, BBC News reports Germany and Austria take a step towards gas rationing.
They have now triggered emergency plans over possible gas supply disruptions amid a payments standoff with Russia.
BBC is reporting this.
That was yesterday.
The article confirms that Moscow is saying that the ruble payments would be introduced gradually, just like I said, and Germany and Austria have urged consumers and companies to reduce consumption in anticipation of possible shortages.
Germany gets about half of its gas, that's natural gas, and a third of its oil from Russia.
And warned they could face a recession if supplies suddenly stopped.
Okay, it's not a recession, it's a collapse.
Germany's economy will collapse without Russia energy.
Now then, Austria gets about 80% of its gas from Russia.
A little bucker factor on that one.
Oh!
It said that gas rationing would only come into play in an immediate crisis.
So basically, they're invoking their emergency plans.
And, oh, by the way, across Europe, about 40% of the gas that's consumed in Europe is imported from Russia.
And it's mostly purchased in Euros.
And the Speaker of the House of the Russian Parliament, his name is, if I can get this right, Vyacheslav Vloden, said on Wednesday, quote, European politicians need to stop the talk, stop trying to find some justification about why they cannot pay in rubles.
If you want gas, find rubles, period.
Mic drop.
Like, if a Russian politician had a mic drop moment, that would be it.
If you want gas, find rubles.
And then in addition to that, then the Kremlin said, well, Russia might just start demanding payment in rubles for everything, like fertilizer and grain and metals and timber.
In addition to that, it's like, oh, you want to eat?
You want to grow food?
Find some rubles, right?
Oh, you want gas?
Get yourself some rubles.
Oh, you need aluminum?
Elon Musk to build your Tesla cars?
You need some aluminum?
Get yourself some rubles, Elon.
Oh, you need some lumber there in the UK because you're building your cottage homes?
You need some lumber?
Find yourself some rubles.
Go on a ruble treasure hunt until you find rubles and then bring them to us.
And then we'll give you minerals.
That's basically what Russia is saying at this point.
So here's what I predict is going to go down here.
So first, you're going to have NATO countries like Austria and Germany and so on, and they're going to first think that Russia is bluffing.
And they're going to say, oh, we'll just tighten our belts, you know, we'll just tell everybody to conserve.
Don't heat your homes.
Wear thicker sweaters.
That's actually something that I think some member of the German parliament already put out.
It's like, just put on some thicker sweaters.
Eat more calorie-rich foods.
Pack on some body weight because it's insulation.
And wear a sweater and do all this stuff.
You're not going to get any heat.
So you better hurry up and eat.
And so they're going to try that for a while.
And it's not going to work because Europe depends so heavily on Russian gas.
Meanwhile, the Russians are just going to have their hand on the giant valve, and it's going to be in the off position, and they're just going to be, you know, hanging out.
It's like, yeah, let us know when you find some rubles.
Come on back.
We could open up this valve if you have rubles.
If you don't have rubles, valve stays closed.
No opening valve unless you bring rubles.
So then Germany's industry is going to start cratering.
You know, all the companies in Germany that make stuff.
That is when their employees aren't on 16 weeks of paid vacation.
But when they're actually working, which is rare, at plants like, I don't know, Volvo or whatever, Mercedes.
When they're actually doing work, there's not going to be any energy to power because they won't have the fuel for heating, for running equipment, or for generating electricity in many cases.
And so what's going to happen?
Oh, the industry is going to collapse.
And then these companies are going to call up their politicians and say, you know, bring back the energy.
We need Russian gas.
And then...
The German leaders, if you can call them that, are going to go crawling back to Russia.
And they're going to say, please, please, please give us Russian gas.
Okay, we bring rubles now.
And then when they agree to hand over rubles, the Russians are like, now we open valve.
We turn gas back on for Germany.
Who else wants Russian gas?
Bring rubles.
You know, because let's face it, Russia's position on energy and gas is kind of like if you owned and had a monopoly on the only water spring in a giant desert full of people who are dying from thirst, right?
It's like, yeah, you just let me know when you want some water.
Until then, we'll just be waiting here.
Bring some gold if you want some water or whatever.
That's just a metaphor, obviously, just an example.
But understand that Germany and the other Western country leaders have put themselves in this situation on purpose because they wanted to please the climate lunatics.
They wanted to shut down their own fossil fuel infrastructure, and they did.
You know, because Greta Thunberg went on and screamed, you've stolen my future!
And...
They all say, oh my god, a little girl is crying.
We must shut down all of our industry and our energy.
Just shut it down.
And that's what they did over the last decade or so.
To the point where now they depend on Russia.
And then Russia says, bring rubles.
So you might be saying, well, what does this have to do with gold and silver?
Obviously, when these countries around the world are forced to buy rubles in order to get energy and oil from Russia, then Russia becomes the commodities-backed currency that replaces the petrodollar with what I'm calling the hydrocarbon ruble.
So the petrodollar no longer has as much demand under these circumstances.
And on top of that, the fact that Biden is demanding, what was it, $5.8 trillion in federal spending, which means printing trillions more, combined with food inflation, food scarcity, fertilizer shortages, gas price inflation, potential for war, everything else, it means that the faith in the dollar is being shattered.
Now, understand that the dollar only exists because of faith, because of blind trust.
You know, the dollar says, I think, in God we trust, but the truth is that if you are holding that in the dollar, you trust.
And that trust can be shattered in an instant.
Now, when you hold silver, you know, clickety-clack, you don't need to trust the silver.
As long as you trust the table of elements, which is very trustworthy, it turns out, Just ask the helium molecules, you know, or hydrogen for that matter.
Oh, that was a good pun.
Unintended.
Hydrogen for that matter.
Get it?
Okay.
But if you trust the table of elements, then you can trust gold and silver.
But in order to trust the dollar, you have to trust that they're not ruining the value of the dollar by printing too much of it.
And yet they're telling you, oh, we're going to print trillions.
Every couple of months, we're going to print another trillion.
And that's not even counting the emergency stimulus money that's coming, because they're going to put out a bunch of dollar stimmies real soon here, you know, to help people pay for food, because inflation is so high because of all the money printing.
So they're like, here, have this money.
Oh, and by the way, I'm predicting that after they do crash the dollar and they're going to roll out the central bank digital currency system, one of the ways they're going to get people to jump in and sign up for that system is if you sign up, you're going to get probably a few thousand dollars in instant credit as the starting down payment on your universal basic income.
So they're going to drive people into mass starvation and By collapsing the dollar, freezing the banks, everybody's bank accounts become worthless overnight, and then they're going to roll out, oh, guess what?
Look, sign up for this digital wallet system, and you'll get thousands of dollars in food credits.
You know, as long as you haven't said anything too controversial against transgenders, or as long as you haven't criticized the Biden administration, or as long as you haven't said the election was rigged.
Well, I mean the 2020 election, but it's okay if you say the 2016 election was rigged because that's what the Democrats say happened, but you can't say the 2020 election was rigged.
And then if you qualify with all the social credit score, then you'll get the free money.
And that's how they're going to get the impoverished, starving masses to sign up for the digital currency system at Mark of the Beast.
So if you own gold and silver or ammo or other things that you can use as money, You've saved your soul because you don't have to.
I mean, you don't need to go into that system, the mark of the beast system, which the Bible literally says that if you sign up for that system, you go to hell.
Seriously, if you take the mark of the beast upon the palm of your hand and your forehead, or is it or?
Yeah, I think it's one or the other.
If you take the mark of the beast, you can't get into heaven.
Did you know that?
Some of you who are Bible experts can quote chapter and verse, but it's in there.
I don't know exactly where it is.
It's in there.
So if you want to save your soul, you need to be able to survive without surrendering to that system.
And how do you do that?
You're going to need alternative systems of money, real money, in other words, which is gold and silver and things that hold their value, things that we've been talking about.
Now, let's talk about some practical things here real quick.
So, number one, start collecting if you're someone who has some jewelry.
Do not sell any of it.
Don't pawn it or anything like that.
Just start collecting it.
If you have family members who have any jewelry that's gold or silver and they want to sell it, you may want to buy it from them.
Just start collecting jewelry.
That's a good way to get started in this.
If you want physical gold and silver in your hands, then, of course, you need to talk to a gold and silver retailer or dealer.
Our sponsor, if you want to choose to support them, they're the Treasure Island Precious Metals Company.
They have very fair prices, very honest delivery.
They treat customers extremely well.
They have a lot of educational help for you as well if you're a first-time buyer.
And you can reach them at brighteonmetals.com or metalswithmike.com, and it takes you to their website.
And you can check the real-time prices right there, by the way.
You can check the prices and availability.
It's on the top right hand of the website.
If you don't want to take physical possession because maybe you live in an apartment building or something, you can find companies who will vault gold and silver for you.
In fact, the Treasure Island Company, I believe they offer a vaulting service as well, and I know they offer a vaulting service for a silver IRA where you can convert your IRA. Essentially, you sell all your stocks, convert it all into silver.
It still qualifies as an IRA under IRS rules, but you can't physically have possession of it, so they vault it for you.
And they specialize in that kind of thing.
It's called a silver IRA, and that's just one of the services they provide.
It's very popular right now.
So you end up owning physical silver with pre-tax money.
And it's all legal.
It's all fully allowed by the IRS. Now, there are also some supposedly gold and silver-backed cryptos, and I've been looking at those for quite some time, and the only one that I think is any good right now, which does not have...
It's very hard to buy and sell, because it's not represented in very many exchanges, and that's called LODE, L-O-D-E. I'm still working on conversations with the LODE company and Trying to see if that can be made more liquid over time.
But anyway, it's a crypto representation of gold and silver.
And it's not mature yet.
It's just not mature.
There are others out there, but I don't know who's behind them.
And so I can't recommend at this point crypto-backed gold and silver.
Some people think that Bitcoin is digital gold.
And I assure you, it is not.
Because digital and gold are contradictory.
Because digital means it's not physical, right?
It's represented by abstract bits and bytes stored in a computer system somewhere.
Whereas gold is a physical element, an atomic element on a table of elements.
Therefore, the terms digital and gold are contradictions, actually.
So there's no such thing as digital gold.
It doesn't exist.
Now, I recommend crypto as a transactional system only, not an asset storage or an asset protection system.
I don't believe in banking in cryptos.
In other words, I would never advise somebody to accumulate a bunch of crypto.
Not Ethereum, not Bitcoin, not Monero, not anything.
I only tell people to use it transactionally.
Use it To carry out transactions, to make purchases if you wish, or to send money to people, or move money legally across borders and so on.
It's much faster than the banking system.
But in my assessment, crypto is not a place to store wealth.
A store of wealth has to be something that has zero counterparty risk, ideally.
And all the cryptos have a counterparty risk.
The risk is, well, what happens if the power grid goes down?
What happens if the computers stop working?
What happens if the shared ledger blockchain system suddenly, I don't know, gets hacked or it's a 51% attack or they change the code, they change the supply.
Suddenly there's more coins available.
Suddenly the scarcity isn't what it used to be and so on and so forth.
There's counterparty risk, but not in physical gold and silver.
So the Biden administration has gone into, like, panic mode now, and they've released a large amount of the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, that's the SPR, releasing 180 million barrels of oil over the next six months to, quote, fight the Putin price hike at the pump.
It's not the Putin price hike, it's the Biden inflation.
That's what's going on.
I mean, what's hilarious is that this is at the same time that Biden's proposing the $5.8 trillion federal spending budget for 2023, which is spending a trillion dollars every two months, basically.
It's a total blowout phase.
And then saying, no, the inflation is because of Putin, and therefore we have to release the oil reserves.
So let me ask you something, and this is one of the reasons why I'm so kind of freaked out about what's going on.
We are looking at the end of the dollar, which is the end of the American empire.
This is it.
This is the final blowout chapter.
This is what it looks like.
So this is a time when China is buying up all the grains of the world.
China is buying commodities and China is stockpiling things.
China has bought up like something like 70% of the world's wheat supplies, for example.
They've got enough wheat to last a year and a half.
So while China is stocking up, which is the preparedness thing to do, Biden is releasing the emergency supplies of oil just over the next six months, which just happens to be the six months before the midterm elections.
So think about it.
Biden is releasing the strategic emergency reserves of energy in America just to try to suppress gas prices for the upcoming election.
That's all he's doing.
I mean, he will sacrifice our strategic security To try to limit the damage to Democrats that's coming in the midterm elections.
And just another example of really short-term catastrophic thinking by the Democrats.
By the lunatics running America right now.
Again, China's thinking long-term.
It's like, hey, let's stockpile.
Even Russia is like stockpiling gold.
Even launching new gold mines to have more gold.
And then they keep it all that they mine, by the way.
And America is just like, oh, let's just let everything go and just print more money.
Which, by the way, that's what Japan is doing as well.
Japan is just like, oh, let's keep printing.
You realize that the yen is going to crash too, right?
Anybody out there listening from Japan?
The yen is going to zero, probably before the dollar.
And the euro is going to zero.
And then eventually the dollar is going to zero.
Now, the dollar might get a little bit of a bump during that process while people flee the yen and flee the euro, because a lot of people still think the dollar is the safe currency.
But then eventually the dollar collapses as well, and then they all lose their minds.
And when that day comes, you won't even be able to get anybody to answer the phone at a gold dealer.
And even if they could answer the phone, they have no gold.
Because at that point, gold and silver will become unobtainium.
And I don't know who first coined that phrase, but I've heard it used.
It's pretty good.
Unobtainium.
You won't be able to obtain it.
Nobody will be letting go of their gold and silver at that time.
So there is a window of opportunity to get some.
That window will end.
And when that ends, that will be the time that people will be so desperate to get it, they'll pay almost anything in terms of dollars because the dollars are becoming so worthless so quickly.
So just think about this releasing the 180 million barrels of oil.
Well, what is that actually going to do?
It's barely going to suppress oil prices at all.
And yet, when they're done releasing that, we end up with still higher oil prices and no strategic reserves.
This is a horrible idea, and yet this is what the Democrats are doing.
This is what Biden is doing, compromising our national security to try to win elections.
Unbelievable.
By the way, did you see the creepy Chinese robot video yet?
The China made a dog robot with a megaphone walking down the street screaming at people.
Well, not really screaming, but giving instructions in China.
Oh yeah, can't miss this.
This is in Shanghai.
I want to play this for you.
It's only 13 seconds.
Check this out.
Here we go.
体温请消毒少气重请通风 Man, is that not the creepiest thing ever?
Chinese enforcement robot with a megaphone marching down the street with those creepy little spider legs like...
It's like, oh my gosh!
I'd be like...
Which means you're broken.
In Chinese, by the way.
And those were sound effects for an American-made shotgun.
12-gauge.
Shotguns are good for taking out robots.
Turns out you're going to need to take out some robots if they declare the Terminator robot war on us.
But wow!
And by the way, what this robot is actually enforcing is the orders to stay in your home.
Stay in your home.
You are no longer allowed to roam in society.
Only the robots get to walk the streets.
So that's China right now in 2022.
Robot-dominated system.
Humans are prisoners in their own homes.
Literally!
That's not even science fiction anymore.
That's Shanghai today.
And it's only a matter of time, folks, before they put rifles on these robots.
And just start shooting people who are out, right?
Have little thermal imaging cameras and everything.
First, you get the warning robots, and then after that, you get the enforcement robots.
That's right.
And I love how they give that little robot a woman's voice.
Like, that's going to make it friendlier.
It's like, oh, there's this creepy spider leg enforcement robot with a megaphone telling us to stay in our own homes, but don't worry.
The voice sounds kind of nice.
Must be okay.
Government loves you.
Actually, that voice doesn't sound that nice, frankly.
It's kind of like the Chinese tiger lady enforcement voice.
It's kind of like the angry Chinese landlord voice, actually.
It's what that sounds like.
Rent is due!
That's pretty much the voice.
They must have found a woman who's a landlord in order to order you to obey.
I think that's what they did in China.
Oh, and by the way, the result of that lockdown, I may have mentioned this yesterday, but The people living in Shanghai are unable to obtain food and medicine, reports the Epoch Times, as citywide lockdown continues.
Wan Wenying, a resident of the Baoshan district, told the Epoch Times she was short on food after local officials refused to help her.
I mean, you notice the robots aren't delivering anything to eat, are they?
Just delivering a message of obedience to She said, quote, our building was sealed off yesterday, but our residential compound has been sealed off for four days.
Everybody in her building had been required to take nucleic acid tests for COVID-19.
She said that she sought out local community officials to help her get some food, but was told that she's going to have to deal with the problem on her own.
That's right.
One official told Juan to have cooked meals delivered to her house, but she said she couldn't afford the cost because she doesn't have any income and isn't entitled to social benefits.
Quote, the government doesn't care if its people are alive or dead.
I don't have any money and I'm stuck at home.
You know, that pretty much sums up what's coming for everybody who did not store some extra food and get some extra money, i.e.
gold and silver or whatever.
If you're living on the grocery store and the dollar, you're going to be in the same boat with Mrs.
Juan here.
Was it Juan or when?
Whatever her name is.
Yeah, Juan.
She's got no money and no food.
And you look out your window.
There's a robot dog telling you to obey.
Probably snapping photos if you step outside, too.
Sending it over 5G to the security forces.
So if you're spotted, they'll probably send out police to come drag you away.
Shanghai has a population of 26 million people.
Okay, 26 million people.
Larger than any city in America, by far, right?
China has, what, more than three times the population of the United States?
More than that.
It's almost, I guess it's almost four times, isn't it?
And they don't care if they starve their own people.
They don't care.
Another resident there told the Epoch Times that local food prices had dramatically increased.
This person lives in Jing'an, a district located west of the Huangpu River.
She said she could still go out, but some of her neighbors couldn't, and that two buildings in her neighborhood had been sealed off after one resident in each building tested positive for COVID-19.
So you get this?
So they come along and they test everybody with the little fraudulent PCR test.
Everybody in the building gets a test.
And by the way, this is going to come to Democrat cities in America.
And one person tests positive, which is a false positive anyway.
They seal the building.
Like, they weld the door shut.
No one is allowed to leave.
And you have to live on whatever you have there.
You know, food, water, whatever.
You know, medicine.
That's it.
You get nothing.
Nothing else.
You're on your own.
So that's kind of a clue of what's coming for the rest of the world as well.
And by the way, my prediction is they're going to unleash another, maybe a hemorrhagic fever, virus, or nanoparticle attack.
They're going to release that after the midterm elections.
So you can just bet on more lockdowns coming to America December, January timeframe.
And that's on top of the food scarcity, the mass starvation, the food price inflation, and the fuel rationing that is likely to be experienced in the months leading up to that, too.
They're going to turn America into a police state.
They're already doing it elsewhere around the world.
Now, the U.S. is getting desperate to try to defend the dollar, but it's too late.
So there's a publication called Business Standard, and they've got an article here.
The title is, quote, U.S. official warns India and others against increasing Russian oil imports.
A significant increase in Russian oil imports by India could expose New Delhi to a great risk, says a U.S. official.
So the U.S. is running around the world bullying India and probably Turkey and China and everybody else who's buying oil from Russia, probably bullying African nations as well.
To try to threaten them to say, oh, it could be dangerous for you if you buy Russian oil.
You don't want to do that, do you?
Now, be ashamed if something bad happened to your country right there.
Something like that.
It's like a shakedown at the retail level, like a New York mafia.
Oh, be ashamed if something bad happened to your restaurant, wouldn't it?
Now, if you had a fire or something, that'd be a real shame, you know?
You better pay a protection fee.
Like, that's pretty much what the U.S. is doing now to other countries around the world.
You know, and the people from India, you know, they're bargain hunters like everybody else.
Are you kidding me?
You're telling me do not buy the oil from Russia?
It's on sale, don't you know?
I'm going to buy it.
It's a great deal right now.
Yeah, sorry.
I could not help myself.
No intention to insult people from India.
I'm actually...
At all.
You're bargain hunters.
And that's smart.
That's really smart right now.
Get a good deal while you can.
It's necessary.
Bloomberg has reported that India and Russia are cooperating to use a new system that's a replacement for the SWIFT financial transaction system.
The new one is called the SPFS, which is the rupee ruble dominated payment system.
This is not a joke.
It's like the rupee ruble denominated payment system.
Actually, you got to say rupee with an Indian accent and then ruble with a Russian accent.
So it's a rupee ruble.
Denominated payment system.
Try that 10 times.
You'll see how difficult that is.
So the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, arrives in India for a two-day visit on Thursday.
That was yesterday.
So they're serious about this.
They're talking about this.
I mean, they're just going to bypass the whole SWIFT system.
By the way, have you noticed that the ruble has now recovered from From the initial crash that happened when Russia was cut off from the SWIFT system.
So right after they were cut off, the Western media, which is a bunch of liars, just liars and treasonous traitors, propagandists, journo-terrorists, they ran around screaming, oh my God, the Russian economy is going to collapse.
Because the ruble was losing value very rapidly there for a couple of days.
It has almost fully recovered since then.
In other words, the only damage that Western nations caused by cutting off Russia from the Western economic system was long-term economic damage to America and the UK and Germany and France and so on.
That's the only thing they accomplished.
Russia has already recovered because they just went to countries like India and said, hey, guess what?
Let's do business in rupees.
And India's like, okay.
Give us a discount.
We do business any way you want.
And, of course, Russia is willing to accept euros and dollars from, quote, friendly countries.
So, you know, they're very flexible on their payments from friendly countries, but if you're an unfriendly country, you've got to buy their energy in rubles, gold, or Bitcoin, which is just still so funny.
It's so funny that the Western banksters who have been Let's just be honest.
Raping and pillaging the world for decades with their petrodollar status, they are now getting kind of reverse raped.
I mean, I don't like to use that word.
It's not the best word for this.
But financially speaking, it really does fit in this case.
It's like a reverse pillaging of...
I don't know.
It's the boomerang effect.
It's like you've been raping and pillaging the world financially for decades with economic hitmen and everything, and then now somebody calls your bluff, and it's Russia.
And now you've got to pony up some rubles if you want to buy gas.
Meanwhile, the global supply chain is completely collapsing.
And there was a fascinating story that showed up on FreightWaves.com.
And it was quoting Gary Friedman, the CEO of a luxury home furnishings brand, formerly known as Restoration Hardware.
I don't know what they're called now, but whatever.
He said he unleashed a brutal honesty in this call, going over the supply chain woes, surging ocean freight rates, soaring inflation, and a sudden plunge in consumer demand coinciding with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Quote, I'm just going to tell the truth, he said.
Maybe our stock is going to take a big hit because of this.
He was right.
His company's market value fell by $1 billion on Wednesday.
That's what happens when you're a public company and you tell the truth.
Quote, Product is on the water for a long time, getting ships into port.
You know, he's talking about the ocean vessels.
We've got about five extra weeks in our supply chain right now.
That's a lot of time, a lot of money.
What he means is he's got like five weeks of product sitting on ships.
He says some stuff's coming on time and some is 10 to 12 weeks behind.
Many of us thought we would have been caught up by now.
We'll be lucky to be caught up by the end of the year.
It's hitting everybody from all angles, he says.
You just have this compounding supply chain kind of puzzle happening.
I've never seen it so chaotic, honestly.
From a project execution point of view, whether it's construction, sourcing, manufacturing, shifting supply chains or freight, everything is a little out of sync in the world right now.
And, you know, he's probably downplaying it, actually.
But what else is fascinating is he says that demand for his products plunged The moment that war broke out with Ukraine.
He says, it happened overnight.
Quote, other people might be banging a brighter, happier drum than me.
Do they have better numbers than we do?
I don't think so.
He was saying that U.S. retailers had not really reported what was happening with the drop in sales.
He said, quote, I think we're the first ones talking about demand.
So, quote, I don't want to scare everybody, he said.
But then he goes on to talk about the big short, that movie.
Where, you know, it was talking about the subprime mortgage collapse situation.
And in that movie, there's a quote.
You remember that scene where there was a debate on stage and then there was a little audience of people watching and a guy from the audience says, quote, hey, from the time you guys started talking, Bear Stearns stock has fallen by more than 38%.
It's like, and by the way, it went to zero.
So when you have retailers talking about the supply chain collapse and talking about how it's going to be like the big short, a major red flag is taking place.
And what I'm actually starting to see here, kind of put the pieces together, is that the dollar collapse is going to be sudden.
And you won't be able to know the day that it happens.
There's no way to know.
But it's going to be all of a sudden, and there's nothing that anybody can do about it.
They're going to be caught in the system, and they're going to lose everything they have in dollars or dollar-denominated assets, such as stocks and bonds and treasuries and ETFs and what else?
Mutual funds, all that stuff.
Oh, pensions and retirement funds.
Don't forget about that as well.
If you want to have a retirement fund, in my opinion, And I do say this with a disclaimer that I'm not a financial advisor, but in my opinion, the only retirement fund that's going to be there is physical gold and silver in your hands because everything else is on paper, especially if it's in dollars.
By the way, Russia's gearing up for a long-term war scenario.
It's pretty obvious.
Putin just ordered a draft of over 130,000 new soldiers to join Russia's military.
Why do you think that's happening?
If he was about to have a peace accord, and if he was retreating, and if he was going to pull out a situation and sue for peace, he would not be recruiting 134,000 new soldiers into the military.
And then if you look at the finances of what's going on with the West and also troop movements and weapons supplies and things like that, there are a lot of signs that the West is preparing for war as well.
In fact, wasn't it Martin Armstrong?
I mentioned his article yesterday that all the money flows in NATO countries are indicating that we're going to war.
So right now, in my opinion, this is kind of the calm before the storm.
This is the calm where we can still pretend that everything might work out, where everything might go back to normal.
International shipping container prices might kind of settle down.
You know, supply chains might heal themselves and recover.
The dollar might still have purchasing value in two years.
And so on.
We can play with these delusions and But not for long.
Because the war is going to heat up.
The inflation is going to compound.
Literally, it's going to get worse and worse as they keep printing more money to fight the inflation they caused by printing money.
And yet, the obliviousness of the population is so astonishing that people...
You know, let me back up for a second.
Let me say this.
We live, at least in America, we live in a society where people pride themselves on being uninformed.
They actually take pride.
It's like, oh, I don't pay attention to that, you know, finance and national debt and money printing.
Oh, they don't need to pay attention to that.
Oh my gosh, there's a concert on, you know.
People pride themselves on being ignorant.
And they don't bother to learn about what's happening in the world around them.
Even though they use money, they don't bother to learn what is money.
Even though they take vaccine jabs, they don't bother to read what's in it.
Where's the science that shows it's safe?
It doesn't exist.
The science actually says it probably might kill you, right?
People...
Live in a body, right?
They inhabit their own body, and yet they rarely learn how to take care of their own body.
It's astonishing to me.
You would think that, hey, if you live in a body, if you inhabit a human body, you know, your soul, you might want to have an owner's manual of some kind.
Say, how do I take care of this thing?
What do I feed this thing?
Instead, the average person is just like, oh, my mouth is an amusement park.
Let's just, what kind of thrill ride can I have today?
Oh, chocolate-covered Easter bunnies?
Oh, my God!
It's so amazing.
And that's how they choose what to eat.
They don't think about what is necessary to run their body, what is necessary to maintain their health.
What are those sponge-like sugar bunnies?
Little yellow, what are those called?
Did you ever eat those as a kid?
I remember having those and it was like, oh my gosh, it was like a sugar bomb.
Kind of spongy, made out of sugar and artificial yellow dye in the shape of like bunny rabbits and things and chickens.
It was like, why are we eating all these sugar, these animal-shaped sugar bombs?
What do the animals have to do with this?
But nevertheless, just one of the mysteries of childhood.
Why was it implied that bunny rabbits lay eggs, by the way?
Because they don't.
They do not lay eggs.
They give live birth because rabbits are mammals, but whatever.
It's another mystery of childhood.
It's like, yeah, rabbits lay eggs!
And the fairy takes your teeth, by the way.
But getting back to the theme here, it's just astonishing to me that people don't understand how anything works even though they use those things.
So they use money but don't understand money.
They eat food, don't understand anything about food.
They live in a body, don't understand anything about how to take care of their body.
It's just astonishing to me.
It's like, what are you people focused on?
Of course, it's celebrities and sports and fashion and TV, Hollywood garbage and whatever.
And that actually explains a lot.
It's like, wow, you are totally ignorant about reality, but you're experts in things that don't matter.
You're experts in your abstract worlds of fictions, like shared delusions and fairy tales and so on, but you don't know anything about the real world.
Well, those people are going to get clobbered hard.
Those people are going to lose everything.
Those people are going to face starvation.
They won't have money.
They won't have food, just like Mrs.
Wan there in Shanghai.
And you're going to be just, you know, sealed in your building, a prisoner in your own home.
And good luck!
Yeah, have fun with that one.
See how that goes.
By the way, the White House federal budget and platform, some of it is about demands for early genitalia mutilation surgeries for transgender children to make sure that they get converted and transified Before they grow up and come to their senses and realize, that's a bad idea to cut off your genitals, right?
They want to get them as kids.
And so this is an official position of the White House is to push trans surgeries for children.
I pity the children growing up in America today.
First of all, they try to kill you in the womb with abortion.
And then now, you know, California is pushing a new law where they can They can kill you seven days after you're born.
And was it Maryland or was it Connecticut where they were debating 28 days after you're born?
So if you're born and you survive all the murder of the Democrats and the leftists, then the vaccine industry comes along and says, oh, you're going to need, you know, spike protein injections and mRNA gene alteration injections.
Therapeutics.
Here, I'll inject you with this and that and that and this other thing.
You know, giving like HPV vaccines to two-year-old children as if they're sexually active or something, which these days, given all the pedophilia in the kindergarten schools, I guess, you know, the pedophiles start earlier, which is also another sick, twisted thing.
But then if you make it through all the vaccines and don't die as a child, Then the White House wants you to cut off your genitalia or your breasts or whatever, you know, because you're trans.
And the schools are brainwashing the kids and saying that it's, you know, it's normal, it's freedom, it's just to change your gender and have the scalpel and take the hormones and the chemical castration drugs.
It's completely normal and healthy.
It's like, are you insane?
Well, of course they're insane.
They're demonic.
And these are the same leftists who weep over baby seals being hunted, which I would weep over that too.
I don't want to hunt baby seals.
But when it comes to maiming baby humans, they celebrate, oh my god, that's so wonderful!
You realize that the left would go insane if you went to baby seals and cut off their genitals, right?
And said, although transgender now, the left would go insane.
That's animal abuse!
Which it would be.
But when you do it to kids, they're like, oh, that's so progressive.
That's so wonderful.
That's freedom.
There's a bunch of sick, twisted psychos out there, and the White House is, you know, egging them on.
But there you go.
I mean, what else would you expect in the last days of a collapsing empire of Sodom and Gomorrah?
You know, an empire built on lies and fake money and fake elections and fake media, fake science, fake medicine, just fakery after fakery, fake history, fake education system.
It's all fake, folks.
Heck, we even have fake wars and false flag fakery and fake terrorism and everything else.
It's all fake.
Fake NASA missions and the whole deal.
And the system is imploding.
And it's imploding right now.
I mean, it has begun.
And the collapse is accelerating.
And we are going to witness the end of the American Empire, at least as we have known it.
It's almost here.
So as you know, I'm planning for the total collapse of civilization.
And if you haven't yet registered for my upcoming free audiobook, Resilient Prepping, You can pre-register for that at resilientprepping.com.
And that book's getting close to release.
I mean, it's still a few weeks away, but that's not far.
And you'll be able to download the whole thing for free.
And there I'm teaching people how to prepare for the collapse of the power grid and the loss of combustion engines, essentially.
Like how to live without electricity and how to live without fuel.
So, super low-tech survival and then how to have multiple layers of survival at different tech levels.
Suppose we still do have diesel in some areas.
Well, that's very useful.
So, do you have a survival strategy if you have diesel?
If you have an engine that works?
And what if you don't?
What if you lose the refineries?
And then how do you survive without any energy whatsoever?
So, that book's coming out, Resilient Prepping.
And in the meantime, I would urge everyone to think about what you're going to need for the next couple of years and to do everything in your power to get those things now.
Because the window of supply lines, even functioning, is rapidly collapsing.
By this summer, it's going to be extremely difficult to get many things.
And by the end of this year, I think that a lot of people are going to be in a panic about what's missing from the grocery store shelves, what's missing from the supply chain, the total lack of replacement parts and maintenance parts and so on.
So I would say make a 90-day plan.
To get everything you need, within 90 days, be able to live for two years without any resupply, if it's even possible.
I don't even know if that's possible.
But just make that as a goal.
And I get it.
You might need some more shelves.
You might need some more storage bins or something.
I don't know.
But you're going to thank yourself because everything that you need is going to double or triple in price, number one.
So it's cheaper to buy it now.
And then secondly, a lot of things you need won't be available for long, period.
They will not exist in the supply chain.
Use this time wisely is all I'm saying.
And use your money wisely because understand your money, I mean, if it's in dollars, I shouldn't even call it money.
Your currency is losing percentage points every month right now.
And I recently said it's about 2% per month is what the dollar is losing in terms of its purchasing power.
That number is going to increase, obviously.
It's going to increase.
And it's going to go to 5% a month, maybe by next year, or 10% a month, or it might just lurch into, boom, hyperinflation.
That can happen just overnight.
Remember Project Sandman we talked about?
100-plus countries are going to ditch the dollar simultaneously.
You realize when that happens, what happens to the value of your dollar?
Your dollar goes to a fraction of its current value overnight.
Boom, just like that.
You could wake up one morning and gold could just be $5,000 an ounce.
And it doesn't mean that the gold got more valuable.
It's just that the dollar lost over half its value.
So now, if you're in gold, you still have that purchasing power saved up in the gold because the gold holds value.
The dollar loses value.
So just remember, when you start to see gold priced at $5,000 an ounce or $10,000 an ounce, it doesn't mean that you've gained anything.
If you're in gold, you haven't gained at all.
You've just stopped losing dollars because the dollars are so worthless now that it takes, at that point, 10,000 of them to buy an ounce of gold.
So gold and silver are stores of value.
Dollars are worthless pieces of debt that will lose value at an accelerated pace, especially from today forward.
Today, April 1st, will not be forgotten in the history of the demise of the American empire.
Today is the day.
Today is the beginning of the end of the dollar, the petrodollar, and the American empire that has been built on debt.
That's what's significant about today, and it's not an April Fool's joke.
It's no joke.
It's as serious as it gets.
The joke is Joe Biden.
You know, the joke is the election rigging.
The joke is the mainstream media.
They are jokes.
The joke is the Supreme Court nominee who can't define what is a woman.
That's a joke.
That's laughable.
But the collapse of the dollar, the collapse of America, that's very real.
And we're starting to see it now.
The acceleration is here.
So do the best you can.
Get prepped as best you can.
And be prepared for what's coming.
And I'm right here with you.
And I'll be with you every day to the best of my ability through thick and thin to bring you analysis of where this is going.
But you're going to start to see the things that I've talked about for the last year.
You're going to start to see them happening on a daily basis.
You'll see it all around you.
And yes, food rationing is coming.
Food riots are coming.
The food ration passports are coming.
And then the fuel outages, price inflation, price controls, all of this.
It's all coming.
And we're going to see real chaos in some cities in America before the end of this year.
And then throughout next year, 2023, can't even tell you how bad it's going to get.
The social unrest that's coming is going to be so destabilizing that societies, nations will fall.
And none of this can be reversed.
It's already set.
Alright, so thank you for listening.
Thank you for your blessings and your prayers.
And I pray for you as well.
We've got a lot ahead of us here.
A lot of struggle yet to make it through.
There'll be a lot of obstacles thrown in our way, but we have God on our side and we have each other and we have knowledge and wisdom and foresight.
Those are gifts from God.
And by God, He wants us to use those gifts.
So use them.
Take action today to get prepared for what's coming.
End of story.
