	Situation Update Tuesday, April 5th, 2021.
	Thank you for joining me.
	I'm going to share with you right up front here the true story of the moth-infested organic almonds as a demonstration of how much our attitudes, including my own, towards food, our attitudes are changing because of the scarcity that's coming.
	So, We had a batch of organic almonds and when I say batch, so I think it was maybe one specific lot number is about 150 pounds of almonds You know, certified organic, non-fumigated, very pristine, you know, passed the lab tests and everything.
	But then moths started hatching in these almonds, you know, because moths go in and lay eggs in everything that they can possibly find.
	So, of course, we had to get that out of the warehouse and check all the other batches and make sure everything was okay, which they were.
	It was just this one batch.
	And we had never seen a batch of almonds.
	Infested with moths before.
	So, of course, this lot then went into, you know, the waste pile.
	And as often happens, it ended up in my truck and going to my ranch.
	And I'm thinking, normally when we get food like that that has to be thrown away, we can't sell it, obviously.
	And it often goes to my ranch animals, like donkeys.
	Or, you know, goats, chickens, and dogs.
	Between those four ranch animals, they can devour almost everything that we might offer.
	So usually, it's easy to kind of spread the food joy around with the animals.
	But in this case, I found myself looking at this box, well, multiple boxes, these cases of almonds, and thinking to myself, hey, the moths aren't that bad.
	Right?
	Because I'm thinking about the starvation that's coming.
	And I started thinking, you know what?
	I bet I could make room in the freezer and I could chuck these cases of organic almonds in the freezer and I could freeze these moths to death and they would stop hatching in the almonds.
	And then I would just have kind of frozen moth carcass almonds Which, depending on how hungry you are, might be just fine.
	And I'm not making this up.
	And so I ended up chucking these cases of organic almonds.
	And again, I mean, it's, I don't know, 150 pounds.
	And think about what these are worth in terms of, you know, what organic almonds cost today.
	They're not cheap.
	So it might be a couple thousand dollars worth of almonds.
	And I'm chucking it in the freezer and making sure that all these moths freeze.
	Which they did.
	It was a successful operation.
	And then I kept them in the freezer for a few days, pulled them out of the freezer, and now, of course, there are no more moths hatching.
	So what I possess now is 150 pounds of non-sellable organic almonds that are also non-fumigated that have hidden, unhatched moth eggs in them.
	And let me let you in on a little secret.
	A whole lot of the grains that you buy at the grocery store, like oats, they've got moth eggs in them.
	They just haven't hatched yet.
	All kinds of grains.
	Even, very often, chia seeds.
	If you let them sit around at room temperature for long enough, they will hatch moths.
	You know, beans and lentils and grains and wheat and everything.
	Corn, a lot of it will hatch moths or other little...
	Type of grubs or little tiny beetles or whatever they are.
	You know, chicken feed.
	It will eventually hatch because there's a lot...
	I mean, I don't mean to gross you out.
	Just talking about the food supply in general has a lot of eggs in it.
	You didn't know that.
	You know you're getting like a free dozen eggs with your oats from the grocery store.
	Like, this comes with a free dozen eggs.
	They're actually like a couple thousand dozen eggs because they're really microscopic.
	But anyway, so on a practical note, by the way, if you want to store oats long term, put them in your freezer first for a couple of days.
	Freeze those eggs to where they're not viable and then take it out and it'll store longer.
	Preppers know this kind of stuff.
	These are some kind of weird knowledge that preppers possess for whatever reason.
	But anyway, I'm in possession now of partially hatched moth almonds.
	And I'm thinking, I can totally eat this stuff at this point.
	And I'm not talking about, this isn't a United Nations, let's live on insects kind of narrative or anything.
	I'm not getting paid by the UN to tell you to eat crickets and cockroaches.
	No.
	I'm just thinking, man, I don't want to waste these almonds.
	And I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure I can make some almond milk out of these.
	Because by the time it goes through the Vitamix, I'm not going to see anything other than just almond milk.
	You know what I mean?
	It's perfectly harmless from a nutritional point of view.
	And I'm, see, this is how much even, I've changed my own mind.
	I'm like, I'm not throwing these things out.
	And, you know, it's a lot of almonds and If I'm in a situation where I need to share these almonds with somebody who is, of course, starving, I would be upfront and honest.
	I would say, hey, guess what?
	Let me tell you this story about the partially hatched, moth-infested, organic almonds.
	Do you want them?
	I got them for free.
	You can have them.
	And if they're hungry enough, they'll say, yeah, give me the moth almonds.
	I say, yeah, no problem, because if you don't eat them, I'm going to eat them.
	It's perfectly fine.
	Food is becoming scarce.
	Now, the real question is, if you make almond milk out of the partially hatched moth almonds, is it, like, moth-flavored almond milk, or is it just straight-up almonds?
	Because, you know, don't they have, like, isn't there a shake called a malt?
	M-A-L-T? Like a malt milkshake?
	If you say it fast enough to somebody who's hungry enough, you can kind of blend in.
	Moth milkshake!
	Sounds a little bit like moth, like moth almonds.
	They might think you said malt almonds.
	And they might think, that's awesome.
	Yeah, moth almonds.
	You want some?
	We're making smoothies over here.
	It's got extra protein in it.
	And by the way, if the moth taste is too overpowering, you just add chocolate, right?
	Now it's chocolate almond milk.
	The cacao takes care of the moth.
	And now everything's good.
	But I know some people out there would say, I would never drink chocolate moth milk.
	That's just crazy.
	And I say to those people, you probably have drank milk from a cow.
	Do you have any idea where that came from?
	You ever checked out that scene?
	You know that chocolate almond milk is actually a whole lot cleaner than conventional dairy operations, at least the factory farm dairy operations, with a certain amount of, oh, I don't want to gross you out, a certain amount of non-milk components that are allowed into the milk, a certain percentage.
	You know about that?
	I'm not even going to go into it because I'm not trying to gross you out.
	Believe me, you would much rather eat blended moth milk Then whatever comes out of the some of those cows.
	I'm not talking about, you know, farm fresh raw milk from a dairy cow that's been treated right and, you know, has free range environment and is healthy.
	And so I'm talking about the, you know, the factory dairy operations like monoculture, you know, squeezing milk out at any cost.
	Okay, enough.
	Enough on that.
	Thank you.
	I'll just take the almond milk.
	With or without the moss doesn't matter to me.
	Okay, now, by the way, for all the moms out there, we have something cool going on.
	We have a Mother's Day recipe contest that we have announced.
	And if you want to give us, like, I don't know, your favorite almond moth milk recipe, you could maybe win some prizes and things.
	Yeah, seriously.
	Go to brighteonstore.com slash Mother's Day.
	All one word, no apostrophe, obviously.
	Just Mother's Day altogether.
	That's brighttownstore.com slash Mother's Day.
	And you can win, let's see, $100 and a signed food forensic book that's signed by me.
	So I guess I'm going to be signing some books here real soon.
	Well, I'm sorry, it's $100 Brighttown store gift certificate and a signed book.
	And In order to do this, you just need to send in, like, film a recipe and send it in.
	You know what?
	That's just not enough.
	$100?
	I mean, I know $100 is $100, but I don't feel like that's enough these days.
	Tell you what.
	I'm going to message the staff right now, and I'm going to say to up that first prize to $250.
	And then the second place prize will be $100, okay?
	So it has just been increased.
	Inflation is here.
	Now the top prize is $250 and a signed food forensic book.
	And then the second prize is going to be $100, okay?
	I'm going to insist on that.
	So if you go to that website and it doesn't say that yet, they will update it.
	I know because, well, I'm their boss and I'm telling them to do that.
	Give us your ideas.
	We're going to share them with people, obviously, so if you've got some good recipes and some fun recipes, using ingredients that maybe you got them at the Health Ranger store, maybe you got them at the grocery store, maybe the superfoods, whatever, you're going to be entered into this contest.
	And anyway, you can get all the rules and guidelines and everything at that URL I gave you, brighttownstore.com slash Mother's Day.
	And we want to thank all the moms out there for being moms and for caring about food and nutrition and for making healthy food for your homeschooled kids, because that gives them an edge, obviously, you know, cognitive advantage.
	You know, my friend Marjorie Wildcraft, she used to hold, when she lived near Austin, Texas, she used to hold an annual insect eating event at one of the parks in Austin.
	It was back in the day when I used to actually go to Austin.
	Don't do that anymore.
	But she would have a little cricket eating thing.
	And I went to one one time, but I didn't eat any of the crickets.
	No, I'm not that hungry.
	But she knows how to make up some, I don't know, pretty tasty, crispy critters in all kinds of different formats.
	I'm just not there yet.
	I mean, I'll drink moth-infested almond milk, okay?
	But I'm not eating a bowl of crickets.
	I'm just, I'm not that hungry.
	However, it is worth mentioning I do have a new puppy.
	Yeah, I went to the dog pound and picked up a puppy, kind of a cattle breed mix.
	And she's pretty amazing.
	You know, puppies are just amazing little creatures.
	And she's decided that every June bug is part of a buffet that she's supposed to devour.
	And so here in Texas, what I call June bugs, They come out in March or April in Texas for whatever reason.
	I'm from the Midwest, so these were June.
	They actually came out in June.
	Here, they're out right now.
	So here we are, early April, boom.
	The bugs, these beetles are all over the place.
	And this puppy, apparently, I'm never going to have to buy dog food for her, at least around this time of the year, because she's just out there, just crunch, crunch, crunch.
	Doesn't chew anything, right?
	Just swallow, swallow, swallow.
	There's probably...
	Right now, as I'm recording this, there's probably like 45 June bugs in her belly.
	I finally had to put her in a little kennel cage thing.
	It was like, you just can't eat June bugs forever.
	They're probably still buzzing around in there.
	She didn't chew anything.
	The June bugs are trying to get out.
	If that dog belches, it'll be like a plague of locusts flying out of her mouth.
	Whoa!
	What kind of demon creature did I adopt over here?
	Craziness.
	Just be careful at the dog pound.
	That's all I'm saying.
	You know what?
	Maybe I should collaborate.
	I'm going to finish this topic, but bear with me.
	Maybe I should collaborate with Marjorie Wildcraft, like a little recipe book.
	Recipes for food that's almost not edible, but it's partially infested.
	It's like, you know, oats and beetles with chia seeds.
	Breakfast, right?
	Or something like that.
	Or, you know, moth-infested chocolate almond milk with cacao nibs and cinnamon.
	Or some kind of similar recipe.
	What do you do when it's just starting to get bad, but it's not enough to throw it out, especially with the things, you know, that are coming?
	It's like, you ever had a, got out a box of cereal or something, and you had ants in it?
	You ever try to save that?
	You ever try to, like, get the ants out of there, shake them out?
	Because you really love the cereal or whatever.
	You ever make French toasts on the stove and then you just left it there a little too long and it was the right time of year and some ants got in and there were maybe 20 or 30 ants on your French toast and you're like, hey, that's mine!
	You brush them off.
	The toast is still good.
	They didn't get the whole thing.
	They just got tiny little pieces.
	Yeah, seriously, this could be a hit in the coming food collapse, like marginally edible food recipes or marginally still usable superfood smoothie recipes, because in a smoothie, everything goes away.
	I'm pretty sure this is how the Europeans came up with muesli, by the way.
	The bugs are getting into all the grains.
	The apples are half eaten by mice.
	Something's hatching in the oats over there.
	Let's take all that stuff, throw it together.
	Call it muesli.
	If something crunches in there, just tell them it's like dried apple bits.
	On a serious note, I am really pleasantly surprised of how many people are waking up right now.
	Have you noticed that the hundredth monkey phenomenon is kicking in?
	Except it's not just monkeys, it's all of us, and it's not just hundreds, it's billions.
	Kind of like the billionth humanoid phenomenon or whatever.
	People are waking up like never before.
	People who...
	Would never have had anything to do with so-called conspiracy theories or depopulation talk or even thinking that vaccines might harm someone.
	Now, all kinds of those people are all on board, all in, waking up, getting red-pilled left and right.
	I've never seen anything like this before.
	The awakening is accelerating.
	It's rapid.
	And it's a beautiful thing to watch.
	And I've had so many more people reaching out to me lately just in the last few weeks for whatever reason that suddenly the concepts that I've been talking about for years are acceptable to the mainstream or at least more mainstream.
	They were fringe topics three years ago.
	Now it's kind of like, well, actually, it's got a point.
	Look at the food inflation.
	Look at what's going on.
	So all these ideas really are going mainstream, and it's happening as people are looking at the gas prices at the gas pump and looking at food prices and then scarcity and so on.
	But the thing that happens to a lot of people, a lot of mainstream people, is when they first get red-pilled, they experience a lot of fear.
	There's this really irrational fear, actually.
	It's kind of like the fear that their worldview is shattered.
	The fear that they've been wrong all along, and then also the fear of the unknown.
	It's like, whoa, if this map of the world that I've had in my head is no longer viable, then where are we going?
	How do we have predictability?
	People like to live in their delusional worldview constructs.
	Because it gives them some measure of predictability.
	And that eliminates fear for most people.
	They don't even mind being lied to.
	They even almost tell the media, like, lie to me, CNN, as long as you take away my fear and make me believe that we know what to expect.
	I don't care if it's a lie.
	That's the way a lot of people think.
	But when they get red-pilled...
	The veil is lifted, the fog dissipates, and then they're struck by a lot of fear.
	And so I want to share something with you today about how to deal with fear.
	And even those of you who have been listening for a while, you might get struck with fear from time to time when you learn something new, like Russia turns off the gas supply to Germany, for example.
	If you're living in Western Europe, you're like, oh my gosh, we're going to be overrun with refugees from the Middle East.
	Just from the rising food inflation and fuel inflation and so on.
	And you might be struck with a lot of fear.
	Or if you're living in a city in America still, for whatever reason, you're still there.
	And I know some people have family ties and job ties and so on, or children in school, things like that.
	So they're still in the city, and then one day they're struck by fear, and they say, oh my God, what if there really is a collapse?
	What if I'm way too close to the collapse?
	And I don't have a bug out plan.
	They've struck my fear.
	So, I want to spend a few minutes talking about here, and then I'm going to get to some more news here later on, including Russia and Germany and so on.
	But I want to talk about how to channel your fear into action.
	That is, to take that fear and recognize it as a source of energy and motivation.
	Because when you have fear, understand your body and your mind respond in a very powerful, profound way.
	So what's happening under these circumstances is your body is getting focused, physiologically focused.
	Your body's getting ready for you to do something.
	Fear is often, it invokes a fight or flight response.
	You've all heard about that.
	And the idea is to do something.
	Either fight the predator that's chasing you or run, you know, flee.
	And the fear gives you all the extra energy and the mental focus and the sudden heightened awareness in order to successfully flee whatever is chasing you.
	Which might be a flash mob trying to get your groceries or something.
	That's coming up.
	Good luck with that.
	My advice, drop the groceries and run faster.
	You can always buy more food later.
	Or if they're catching you and you don't have time to drop your grocery bags, just like whack them over the head with a jumbo avocado in the bag.
	You know, whoops!
	Like, take that.
	That was a firm avocado too.
	It wasn't even ripe.
	I bet that hurt.
	Just knock them out.
	Just do like a Will Smith on them.
	Whoops!
	Take that.
	Superfood slap.
	But anyway, the whole point of fear is that your body and your mind is ready to do something.
	So this is my advice, is to do something with your fear.
	Do something practical.
	Do something useful.
	So if you start to feel fear and you feel all that energy and all that mental focus, direct it to focusing on something like You know, hoeing a garden bed or something.
	Right?
	Grab a rake, grab a hoe.
	It's like, take that fear and put it into the dirt.
	That's right.
	Just focus that energy into the dirt and then plant something with it.
	And when you plant something, you'll find that you have less fear because a lot of your fear might have been about the future or about food shortages or what have you.
	And now you're planting food.
	And you use the energy of the fear.
	You leverage it.
	You transformed it into doing something useful.
	And part of my advice for people right now, given that it's springtime for much of the northern hemisphere, is to plant something.
	It doesn't even matter what it is.
	Even go to the hardware store.
	You can get the little baby plants right now, little small tomato starts and zucchini starts and what have you, herbs.
	Just buy some of those and put them in pots and just practice keeping plants alive.
	That's a skill.
	That's something.
	That's action.
	Or you can transplant them, by the way, into the hydroponic systems.
	That's another little shortcut.
	I've done that before, and it absolutely works.
	You can go to the store.
	You can get your little starter plants and then put them in the hydroponic systems, the non-circulating hydroponic bins, and you can grow them from there, and then they'll grow hydroponically from that point forward, and that'll save you several weeks, actually.
	So there's a little shortcut for you.
	Oh, you know, by the way, as a side note, Remember, I keep raving about these amazing bins that we have, and we bought them by the pallet, and they're made by a company called Buckhorn, and these bins are just bulletproof.
	I mean, they don't degrade in the sunlight.
	I think they're polyethylene.
	They work year after year after year.
	They're just the right size for hydroponics.
	I love them.
	Well, apparently so many of you were calling the Buckhorn company.
	They called us.
	And they said, hey, everybody keeps calling us.
	And they're interested in hydroponic bins.
	And they're asking us, like, do we want to maybe work with them in some way and put together some kind of hydroponic bin offering of some kind?
	I don't know how that discussion is going, but it is going.
	And I would love to do that.
	I would love to be able to put together something that just gives you the perfect bins with the perfect lids and so on, you know, to easily start growing food.
	So maybe something will happen with that.
	But yeah, the Buckhorn bin is the best we've ever found.
	Just nothing compares to it.
	I must have tested like 30 bins or something, and Buckhorn was the bin.
	This is, just as another side note, sorry about the distraction, but this is another little thing about me.
	This is part of being the health ranger is I can never just try one thing.
	If I'm testing batteries, I have to buy 35 different brands of batteries and try them all and then find out which one's the best.
	So I'll end up with all these subpar batteries and useless batteries and then finally deciding on the good ones.
	Which is the Phoenix brand, by the way, F-E-N-I-X for the 18650 batteries.
	Phoenix is the only brand that I will buy because they're the only ones, well, at least they're the most honest about the rating of the batteries.
	And again, 18650, those are the batteries that I've standardized on, but Phoenix is the brand.
	And if I'm buying something like a Like a heat blower or like a, I don't know what it's called, a little heat thing that generates heat and blows it because we use these to modify some of the polyethylene when we're doing the colloidal silver manufacturing setup.
	You know, I can't just buy one heat lamp and I have to buy like six different heat blowers and then figure out which one's the best and so I end up with five useless heat blowers and then one that I like and so This is kind of accidental preparedness, like accidental redundancy.
	I end up with a bunch of stuff that is not that great.
	And then I tell you about the good stuff that I find so that you don't have to do all that.
	You can just buy the good thing.
	And that's how I end up, by the way, with a lot of things like Dawson knives, you know?
	Just because I've been through how many knives?
	Yeah.
	Or the Phoenix battery, like I just said.
	I tested all these other batteries.
	A lot of them are junk.
	Or remember my recommendation on the garden shovel?
	What was that?
	W&W? Is that it?
	W&W Manufacturing?
	Or WW Manufacturing?
	That makes these crazy, rugged shovels built like tanks?
	And it's like, I'm so impressed with this shovel.
	It's just mind-blowing.
	And so I have to tell you about these shovels and then, you know, then usually what happens is I can never buy that shovel again because they're out of stock everywhere.
	After I mention it, it's like everybody is checking them out.
	And then if you get one of those shovels, you'll know what I'm talking about.
	You're like, dang, the Health Ranger was right.
	Look at this shovel.
	This thing is amazing.
	This thing is going to outlast human civilization.
	When the future archaeologists from planet Zorg come to Earth and they start digging through the rubble.
	Like, what happened?
	What brought down society?
	They're gonna find this shovel.
	Right?
	It's that good of a shovel.
	And of course they'll find 50 million AOL 600 hours free CD-ROMs that were mailed out to people in the 1990s as well.
	Remember those?
	Like half the landfill in North America is filled with AOL free hours CD-ROMs.
	But learn to channel your fear.
	Learn to transform it.
	This is really an emotional transmutation.
	And it's no joke.
	I mean, this is a powerful psychological concept.
	So if you're walking through a parking lot late at night and it's dark and it's shadowy and you hear weird noises, or if you're in an underground parking garage, which is always kind of creepy, and you get some fear, you know?
	You feel the fear.
	Like, oh, whoa, this is crazy.
	I'm undefended here.
	You know, there could be people creeping around.
	How do you channel that fear?
	Well, first of all, you get out of there, but then the very next time you have a break, you go online and you sign up for a self-defense pistol course or self-defense combat course, Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, striking, or some kind of gym fitness punching course or something.
	Find a course to just teach you how to kick people in the nuts.
	That alone is a very valuable skill.
	Get you out of a lot of difficult spots.
	I don't know if you know this.
	Women, let me give you a little tip.
	Because, you know, I've trained for many, many years in different styles of combat and so on.
	And men, they...
	A lot of young men today, they're trained in jiu-jitsu and they're trained in striking.
	Or boxing.
	And they're training in these cage match types of martial arts, which are very, very useful.
	But you know, there are rules in all of these cage matches.
	And one of the rules is you can never kick your opponent in the balls.
	And as a result, all of these men who have trained, they've never trained to defend themselves from being kicked in the balls.
	Seriously.
	They've trained to defend themselves against punches and strikes and front kicks to the chest or things like that, but they don't have developed defenses against being kicked in the balls because that's illegal in all of these sports that combat sports.
	And one of the things I learned many years ago when I was involved in high levels of Krav Maga, which is the Israeli martial art, and the Israelis, they have different levels of this.
	One level is for American civilians to think that, oh, yeah, this is how you fight.
	You know, it's punches and it's elbows and it's knees and things like that.
	But then there's the actual Israeli military version of Which is eye gouges and face scrapes with nails and kicking them in the balls and biting, biting their nose off and crazy insane things that are part of the combat training because the Israelis, it's like there are no rules.
	We're in war.
	Well, if you learn those things, it works against most opponents.
	These are taught to women.
	Actually, this was taught, when I was helping to teach some of these classes, this was taught as a rape prevention skill set.
	And one of them was like face scraping with the fingernails and the eye gouges and the ball strikes, you know, nutsack strikes and everything.
	And believe me, that stuff works because men are not ready for that.
	Because they think they're facing some opponent who's going to follow the rules.
	You don't have to follow the rules.
	Against an attacker or a rapist, you don't have to follow any rules.
	You just start gouging and biting and clawing and punching in the appropriate places.
	Or how about this?
	Throat strike.
	There's one.
	You just jam someone in the Adam's apple there.
	You know, that takes out big dudes in no time.
	And it's completely illegal to do that in MMA, mixed martial arts.
	But you can do it to a rapist, and you probably should.
	Throw gouge!
	Boom!
	Whoa!
	And then they can't breathe.
	And then you knee them in the nutsack right there.
	And when they're bent over...
	Yeah, you can knee them in the face, push them to the ground.
	If they're still moaning and breathing, you know, just get down there and start pounding on them.
	But that's just the Israeli version of all this for rape prevention, in case you're curious.
	I don't mean to get graphic about all this.
	It's just we are entering a very strange time.
	And there's going to be a lot of uncertainty, a lot of violence, and there's going to be a lot of fear out there.
	I'm just trying to have an honest discussion with you about how to transmute that fear into something that's practical and useful.
	So if you're a woman listening to this and you've got some fear about being attacked or whatever...
	Go sign up for any kind of a...
	Just look for a rape prevention self-defense class.
	Seriously.
	Those are really useful classes.
	Look for Krav Maga.
	That's K-R-A-V-M-A-G-A. And by the way...
	Don't judge your level of fitness or your body size or shape.
	It doesn't matter.
	No matter what kind of shape you're in, you can learn to defend yourself very, very effectively, and you can convert that fear into confidence.
	And that confidence will help you get through what's coming.
	We don't have to live in fear.
	And also, we don't have to live in judgment about our own bodies or our own physical fitness or lack of fitness or what have you.
	No matter where you are, you can up your skills and you will find very, very, let's say, humble trainers.
	The physical fitness trainers, most of them, you know, they don't have big egos.
	They're there to help you.
	And frankly, the more badass they are in martial arts, like the more quickly they can kill somebody, you'll find the more humble they are, the more polite they are.
	The guys who are the most polite and the most soft-spoken are the people who can kill you in the shortest amount of time.
	So just remember that.
	If you ever meet anybody from Brazil who's a 55, 60 years old, soft-spoken guy, looks kind of lanky, you know, and doesn't want to mess with anybody, don't mess with that guy.
	He'll probably choke you out in 2.5 seconds.
	You know, with his legs or his elbows.
	You won't even know what happened.
	Don't mess with the old Brazilian dudes, man.
	They know their stuff.
	So the takeaway from this section here today in this podcast is really think about any areas where you feel fear.
	Kind of notice when you experience that emotion flowing through you.
	Do you feel fear about money?
	Do you feel fear about not having enough food?
	Do you feel fear about being subjected to violence?
	Do you feel fear about just the unknown of the future?
	Well, in every single case, You can take action and you can transmute that fear into some kind of action-oriented solution that gets your body and your mind busy and refocused on something practical that's going to help alleviate that fear and transform it into confidence.
	I've even had people from time to time ask me questions, people who listen to this podcast, and they'll say, hey, Mike, you talk about all these doom and gloom scenarios all the time, and how do you not live in fear all the time?
	Like, how do you believe what you're saying and then you still seem somehow so joyful and happy?
	Like, what's going on?
	And my answer is, hey, I never said I didn't feel fear.
	I've got some fear about the unknown.
	I don't know exactly where things are going, but...
	I don't let the fear paralyze me.
	I don't sit there just paralyzed with fear and say, what should I do?
	What should I do?
	And then end up doing nothing.
	It's like, take the fear and use it as a power pack.
	You know, like a spare battery, you plug into your heart chakra or something, right?
	Take the fear, you got energy, and then use it for something.
	Do something with it.
	What do I need?
	What do I need?
	More garden seeds?
	Do I need silver coins?
	What am I lacking?
	What's the weak point in my plan here?
	And then shore that up.
	And then you'll be able to face the future with more confidence, even if it's unknown.
	And we can't know, obviously, exactly how things are going to play out, but we know there's going to be chaos.
	We know there's going to be economic collapse that's already begun.
	There's a lot that we can know.
	And since we know human behavior, we know how humans are going to react to a doubling of food prices in the next year.
	And you know how they're going to react.
	It's not going to be pretty.
	No, it's going to be uprisings all over the world.
	They've already begun in Sri Lanka, and it's going to spread.
	So if you think about it, you actually can have some confidence about where things are going.
	And then if you over-prepare, just be pleasantly surprised that things didn't get as bad as you suspected they might have been.
	Say, oh, I've got some extra garden food.
	Awesome.
	Let's have a cookout.
	Let's have some barbecue zucchini slices.
	Whatever you grew, you know?
	Have some BLT sandwiches here with all these fresh tomatoes that we grew.
	Or you end up with extra ammunition.
	Guess what?
	Hey, ammunition is just going to go up in value.
	You can sell it later, trade it later.
	It's got a shelf life that's, you know, decades, unless it gets crazy wet or something.
	So, there's no downside to getting more prepared.
	Or suppose, you know, you take the classes in personal defense, a little bit of combat, no matter what your age, no matter what your fitness level, you boost up your ability to handle yourself in any situation.
	There's no downside to that.
	I mean, yeah, you put some time into it.
	But what you get in return is some fitness, some exercise, something new, some mental focus, probably going to meet some interesting people, and you're going to have some skills, some ball sack punching skills probably, which can come in real handy.
	No, seriously.
	All of you women listening, the one thing you're going to miss for your entire life, you're never going to know what it's like to get punched in the balls.
	As all men know, it is the most debilitating pain possible But of course, we don't know what childbirth is like, so I get it.
	You know, women say that's the most painful thing.
	But you can't be, you know, someone can't come along and then just like punch you and make you experience childbirth pain.
	But men, someone can come along and just punch us and ooh, boom, instant doubling over, instant pain.
	You're out of the fight.
	You're out.
	There is no man, doesn't matter what their size, that can take a...
	A deliberate shot to the nutsack and then still function.
	Women just have no idea what that is like, and I pray you never experience any pain like that.
	For those of you who are guys listening, you know what I'm talking about, because we've all been hit one time or another, often involving sporting activities, am I right?
	Often involving martial arts training.
	This is why men wear cups, you know?
	When do you buy your cup?
	Well, the day after you get punched the first time.
	That's when you buy your cup, by the way, because you never want to go through that again.
	So let's see.
	Today, so far, we've talked about blending up moth-infested organic almonds into superfood smoothies and also punching men in the nutsack.
	This is obviously a very informative podcast, obviously covering some very critical topics.
	But I tell you what, let's move on to some more serious topics in the next section here.
	Continuing with some more serious news, then, Truth Social appears to be in trouble.
	This is the Trump social media platform that has had a lot of speculative investment funding through the SPAC, I believe.
	It was valued at something like $5 billion at one point.
	And according to multiple media reports, although we always have to be cautious because a lot of the times anything involving Trump, the mainstream media could be lying about it.
	But according to many, many media reports, Three top executives have quit Truth Social in the last day.
	In fact, I think one of them was named Adams and one of them is named Boozer.
	No, this is not a joke.
	And then a third one was their general counsel, the top attorney.
	I forgot that person's name.
	So three people have left.
	And then some of the comments on this are, quote, all bets are off.
	And Truth Social, as you may know, it was announced, seems like a few months ago, but it only really worked on, I think, the iPhone.
	They didn't have an Android version.
	I don't think they had a desktop version that was functioning.
	And there was a long, long waiting list of hundreds of thousands of people who were trying to sign up.
	It's pretty crazy.
	I just want to mention...
	That Truth Social was being built on the open source platform known as Mastodon.
	And Mastodon, it is an open source system so you can take the code and you can freely modify it and you can use it and you can create your own social media platform as long as you republish the code and share your improvements with others.
	And that is exactly what we have done at brighteon.social.
	So if you're not yet using brighteon.social, I dare say brighteon.social is the platform that Trump's Truth Social was trying to become.
	But we started years earlier, and we built it on the Mastodon platform, which, again, is open source.
	And then we published our source code for everybody to use freely.
	We published it on GitHub, which is the common place to publish open source code.
	So, in effect, actually, brighteon.social is...
	It's a fully functioning social media platform.
	You can sign up and use it for free right now.
	We're about to have a major upgrade of the entire interface.
	The look and feel.
	We've been working on this upgrade for something like eight months.
	And we have a scalable, workable system.
	And you can access it through other software programs on Android devices and iPhone devices and desktop devices.
	In other words, it's weird to me that BrightTown.Social works better than TruthSocial.
	And yet, we never got any billions of dollars in funding or anything.
	We just built it ourselves based on your support.
	And it's been working.
	I'm like, why didn't the Trump people just come to us?
	We could have had them up and running in no time.
	Because we're already up and running.
	They could have saved all their R&D time and just talked to us.
	But maybe they didn't know about us.
	I don't know.
	But in any case, if you want to run your own social media platform, you can go download the source code for free for brighttown.social, which we put many, many hundreds of thousands of dollars into developing.
	You can copy that code and you can launch your own social media platform.
	And we encourage you to do that, by the way.
	You're just going to need somebody who knows how to install it and run it and do the admins and set up the nodes and the scalability and so on and so forth.
	But the code is free.
	And if anybody here is listening from the Trump team, you know, talk to us.
	We've already got this thing figured out.
	We just slap a Trump logo on this and it's, boom, it's up and running tomorrow.
	You know what I mean?
	We've already got it working.
	It's just, wow.
	And it didn't take billions of dollars.
	Now, by the way, I'm not condemning Trump himself on this.
	You know, he is not a tech guru guy.
	He obviously delegated this to a team of people.
	And apparently that team is kind of...
	You know, kind of fall apart, at least according to media reports.
	Now, if that turns out to be just a fake news hoax or something, I'll definitely let you know tomorrow and, you know, offer a correction on that.
	But it seems like it's a legit thing.
	Like, it's actually happening.
	These top executives are gone.
	So the future of truth social right now is very much a big question mark, which is not something that I want to see.
	I would love to see it succeed, you know?
	I want to see all the platforms succeed.
	I'm a fan of Gab succeeding, and I'm a fan of what?
	Well, all the other video platforms like Odyssey and BitChute and Rumble, you know, not just Brighttown.
	I think the more platforms, the better.
	And I would love to see more social media platforms like Parler and Getter and Truth Social in addition to Brighteon.social.
	And we don't even want to be the biggest one because the biggest one attracts too many trolls.
	We kind of like where we are right now, where it's only really informed, awake, serious people that are using Brighteon.social.
	It's a few tens of thousands of users, perhaps, or maybe it's 100,000 plus, but it's a great community.
	If you haven't seen it yet, check it out, Brighteon.social.
	Okay, now in other fascinating but also highly, well, mind-baffling news today, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the government of Germany has seized control of Of a Russian subsidiary known as Gazprom, Gazprom GmbH in Germany.
	So this is the German subsidiary of the Russian Gazprom natural gas exporter based in Russia.
	And the way this whole thing was set up is now becoming...
	And it turns out that the people who set this up, the Russians, they're pretty clever.
	So they set up Gazprom, GmbH in Germany as a kind of a shell company or kind of a pass-through corporation.
	And then that company in Germany, they had the contracts to sell natural gas to the German buyers, which are the large energy companies and the large industrial customers and so on.
	So the contracts, again, are between Gazprom GmbH, which is a German corporation, and the German customers.
	Well, then Gazprom Russia, they have been selling natural gas to Gazprom Germany.
	But the contracts with the German customers are not direct contracts with Gazprom Russia.
	So when Gazprom Russia recently decided we're not going to ship any gas to Gazprom Germany, the subsidiary shell company, then that company effectively became insolvent by...
	And that company could no longer provide gas because it's just a shell corporation in Germany that needs the gas to come from Russia, obviously.
	So that company becomes insolvent, and then all the contracts that that German company had with German customers, those contracts died with the insolvency of that company.
	And so effectively, the German customers who need natural gas, they never had contracts with Gazprom Russia.
	And so they can't say that Russia defaulted on any contracts.
	Kind of a clever setup on Russia's part, isn't it?
	So anyway, the government of Germany comes along and says, well, we're going to seize Gazprom Germany.
	And I'm thinking, you're seizing a shell corporation.
	That's not going to get you any gas from Russia.
	Are you aware of that?
	Like, what's going on with the German government here?
	Do they think that they're going to seize this shell company and just, like, squeeze it and make natural gas appear?
	It's like trying to wring water out of a stone or something.
	It's like, squeeze the company.
	Maybe gas will come out the side or something.
	It's not going to happen.
	What are they thinking?
	Now, By the way, this is my best understanding at the moment.
	Some of the details are a little wishy-washy because I'm trying to put together multiple media reports.
	So if I'm wrong about anything that I've described here, my apologies.
	I'm trying to give you the best understanding I have right now.
	But some of this may change just based on new information.
	But in any case, Gazprom Russia is like, hey, we're not going to ship the gas.
	And so Germany's in this weird situation where they're trying to get gas from Russia.
	Like, we're going to seize your German corporation.
	And Russia's like, so what?
	You don't pay rubles.
	You don't get gas.
	That's it.
	And the Germans are like, we're going to seize your corporation.
	So what are you going to do with it?
	Have fun with the corporate documents.
	Maybe you can plaster your walls with that stuff.
	I can just see the German government having an armed raid or something at the rented office suite in Berlin, where Gazprom GmbH, you know, is probably founded, probably has a temporary staff, somebody there to answer the phone, and maybe one attorney, you know, to sign documents or something.
	And the German government raid that and say, we got you, you know, we got you, hands up.
	And then the attorney and secretary are like, okay, our hands are up.
	And the Germans will be like, okay, where are you hiding the gas?
	You know, and the secretary is like, what gas are you talking about?
	There's no gas here.
	The gas comes from Russia.
	And the German leadership will be like, no, we're pretty sure you're hiding gas around here somewhere.
	You must have a lot of gas.
	They'll be like, where are you hiding the gas?
	And then the attorney is like, there is no gas here because gas comes from Russia.
	No gas in Berlin.
	If you have gas in Berlin, you don't need gas from Russia.
	And then the Germans are like, you must give us gas!
	And then the Russians are like, you must pay rubles.
	And that's it.
	That's it.
	Like, that's the end of the conversation.
	Mic drop.
	You must pay rubles.
	You don't pay rubles.
	You don't get gas.
	And the German leadership, they beat us in World War II, now they beat us again?
	Over gas?
	It's so frustrating to be German right now, isn't it?
	Get beat by the Russians again!
	By the way, these are obviously caricatures of Germans and Russians.
	Obviously, I'm not implying that all Germans are...
	I'm just making fun of the German leadership.
	There are some really remarkable German people, such as the folks that are working with Reiner Fulmich and his team.
	Amazing people.
	Like, world heroes, as far as I'm concerned.
	So...
	This is a common theme that we see everywhere, where the government is a bunch of insane, tyrannical lunatics, but the people are awesome, amazing, intelligent, compassionate human beings.
	And it's kind of a universal thing, right?
	Think about America, the leadership of America right now, a bunch of insane lunatics, but the people of America, pretty good, solid people.
	And the same thing's true in France and in Spain and in Russia and in Ukraine and pretty much similar like that in China as well, by the way.
	The people everywhere just want to get along and be left alone by their governments.
	The people just want to be able to grow some food, have some families, you know, go to church without being molested by the government, things like that.
	It's universal, but it's also universal that governments are evil everywhere.
	But I'm still trying to figure out how these German leaders think they're going to get gas by seizing a shell corporation in Berlin.
	That makes no sense whatsoever.
	At some point, you're going to have to convince Russia to turn on the gas.
	Because that's where it originates, right?
	So there's a giant valve somewhere in Western Russia.
	I mean, this is a simplification, but you get the idea.
	There's a giant valve, and it's in the off position, and it's in Russian territory.
	And you got to convince the Russians to turn that valve into the on position or you lose your economy, Germany.
	You go into a total destruction.
	So how do you convince somebody who holds all the cards to give you what you need?
	How do you convince them to do that?
	Well, often you would offer to pay them for that.
	Right, right.
	What an amazing concept.
	Pay them in a currency that they could use, which isn't the euro, and it's not the dollar, because the Western nations blocked Russia from using euros and dollars by cutting Russia off from the SWIFT transaction system.
	So it's kind of like, Germany, you did this to yourself.
	What are you thinking?
	Right.
	So, now you're going to have to come up with rubles, or you're going to get your gas cut off, or you're going to have to figure out some other way.
	And you can't just coerce Russia.
	You can't put a gun to Russia's head, like, you know, click, give us gas, or we'll pull the trigger.
	And, you know, Russia's going to say, well, if you pull the trigger, how are you going to get the gas then?
	I mean, if you launch missiles at Russian gas infrastructure, you're going to just blow up the gas infrastructure, then you get no gas for sure.
	Or if you think you're going to nuke Russia, you're not going to get any gas.
	If you nuke the source of the natural gas, you're not going to get any gas.
	You're going to have to actually, at some point, convince Russia to make a decision that brings you the gas with the valve opening.
	You're going to have to get their consent.
	But I love all the emotional arguments in the media.
	It's like, oh, oh, Putin is pure evil and he killed these people.
	Give us gas.
	And Russia's like, that's not an argument for giving you gas.
	Like, oh, Russia, Russia destroyed these civilian buildings.
	Give us gas.
	You're so bad.
	Give us gas.
	And Russia's like, that's not a reason either.
	You still haven't given us compelling reason to give you gas.
	And so it's so...
	What's fascinating watching this is because these Western nations, they're all so used to virtue signaling to get what they want.
	Like a bunch of whiny little crying baby girls.
	And Russia's like, no, we're going to actually...
	We're going to negotiate like adults here.
	You're paying rubles.
	You want gas?
	You're paying rubles.
	Everything else is irrelevant here.
	You can't virtue signal your way into Russia's gas infrastructure.
	And this is baffling to Germany.
	This is baffling to the UK. It's baffling to the West because Logic and reason has already been abandoned by all these countries and all they do is virtue signal now.
	All they do is try to please the climate lunatics and the Greta Thunbergs and they try to please the LGBT and the transgenders and the child grooming pedophiles.
	All they do is focus on pleasing these groups instead of actually doing something that counts in reality, such as having an energy infrastructure that powers your industry.
	Which Germany used to have in spades.
	They rebuilt after World War II. You know, after the Allies bombed the crap out of cities like Dresden, which is a whole different kind of crime against humanity.
	But we'll talk about that another time.
	Germany had to rebuild.
	In fact, most of Europe had to rebuild.
	And so they built back an infrastructure that provided industry.
	And then when the climate lunatics began to apply pressure in the 1990s, Al Gore came along and the UN started saying that everything's got to be shut down, industry is bad, energy is bad, and then these European countries, they just dismantled all their systems.
	And they just said, oh, don't worry, we'll import from Russia.
	We'll just let Russia be the fossil fuel system.
	Emitter, so to speak, you know, producer.
	And then we'll say that our economies are green.
	And how are our economies green?
	Because we're not producing any energy, so we're green.
	We're going to have no energy domestically except a little bit of solar energy, a little bit of wind power from time to time.
	We're so green!
	We're just going to export the responsibility for fossil fuels to somebody else, in this case, Russia.
	And that strategy worked great until February 24th of this year, when Russia invaded Ukraine, and all the Western nations decided they did not want to conduct any business whatsoever with Russia, even at the expense of collapsing their own economies and collapsing their food systems and collapsing all agriculture, basically, in Western Europe.
	So that's the price they have decided to pay.
	Don't pretend that this was a spontaneous accident, that this was unforeseen, that this was a black swan.
	No, it wasn't.
	It was climate lunacy put into policy for a couple of decades.
	This was a planned collapse.
	You understand?
	This was planned starvation.
	This was planned depopulation.
	This was not an accident.
	This is not that something went wrong.
	From the globalist point of view, this is something that went right, which is to collapse the global economy that powers Western nations and thereby bring down Western Europe and bring down America.
	And ultimately, the globalists want China to rise up and be the dominant survivors on the planet and take over the world.
	Which, by the way, Russia might have something to say about that.
	Given the history of conflict between Russia and China.
	But you get my point.
	In fact, to give you more details on how astonishing this is, here's a headline from informationliberation.com, another great website.
	I like to bring you news from all kinds of different websites, you know, to kind of bring you a diversity of different sites that are usually pretty heavily censored.
	And the headline is this, Russia to see record oil and gas earnings in 2022.
	So here it is.
	Russia is expected to see record oil and gas earnings and a budget surplus as a result of surging oil and gas prices, which is their main export.
	So Janice...
	Kluge, or Kluge, I'm not sure how to pronounce it, a researcher at the German Science and Politics Foundation, detailed how the sanctions were backfiring in an interview with NTV.de on Thursday.
	Quote, He continues, quote, This means Gazprom will have record revenues.
	Yeah, that's Gazprom Russia, not the Gazprom Germany that the German government sees for some reason we still can't figure out.
	Quote, So
	here we go.
	Record revenues.
	Russia is going to have more money than they know what to do with, while these economic sanctions that were weaponized against Russia are actually collapsing the economies of the West, collapsing Germany if they don't get the gas turned back on.
	You realize Germany is going to go into such a deep economic collapse and depression that it will take them a generation to rebuild.
	It'll be like rebuilding after World War II, frankly.
	That's how bad it could get if they don't get any energy.
	Germany could be turned into a third world nation overnight, which is what?
	And they still won't pay in rubles.
	We'll see how long that lasts.
	I have a feeling they're going to figure out where to get rubles pretty soon here.
	But we'll see.
	And then America's being hurt by these economic sanctions.
	So if you think about it, the SWIFT sanctions and everything that Biden did and everything that the United Nations has done and the NATO countries and so on, all it has done is it has made Putin more money.
	It's basically funded Putin's entire war in Ukraine.
	Putin's going to be able to pay for the war, export all the oil and gas it wants in the world, and still have extra leftover to spend on whatever Putin is interested in.
	Like perhaps more Russian missile systems or something.
	They already have pretty advanced systems.
	Have you heard about those S-500 air defense systems?
	Oh my goodness.
	Most advanced system in the world.
	Nothing even comes close to it.
	I think they're called the S-500s, yeah.
	And the S-400s, which are a few years older, are still pretty amazing and more advanced than almost anything that America's got.
	And the S-500s, forget it, totally different category.
	I mean, we are funding, not we, but I mean, the extra price in oil and gas is funding Russia's military R&D development for hypersonic missiles and multiple nuclear reentry vehicles, the MIRVs and so on from ICBMs and all this stuff.
	He's rolling in money.
	And then he managed to use gold to back the ruble now, right?
	5,000 rubles per gram.
	And then on top of that, the ruble is now backed by commodities like energy and food and fertilizer.
	And, you know, you're stepping back and looking at this and thinking, whoa, how did Putin just outmaneuver the whole world?
	You know, it's like on a chessboard, you thought, oh, it's like, oh, I got your king in check here.
	And then Putin moves, he's like, no, checkmate against you.
	Checkmate.
	You're like, whoa, I didn't see that coming.
	Yeah, that's because Putin's playing the chessboard.
	He's playing financial chess, and Joe Biden isn't even playing checkers.
	Joe Biden's trying to eat the checkers.
	He's like, ah, these are crunchy.
	You know, like a child would do.
	So the dollar is backed by none of these things that the ruble is now backed by.
	The dollar is not backed by gold.
	The dollar is not backed by commodities.
	You could argue that some of the dollar might be still backed by the petrodollar status, but that's fading quickly.
	And it brings up a really important question that's been circulating, or at least it's been discussed by a lot of people in alt media over the past few days.
	And the question, and I don't have the exact answer for it, but the question is, Is the U.S. government going to default at some point here?
	What happens when the dollar loses so much of its purchasing power that even government workers realize, hey, it makes no sense to keep working for this paycheck because the paycheck can't buy anything?
	At what point does the government itself go into default, or is it kind of a ripple effect?
	Does it happen in smaller government first, or local government, and then does it hit federal workers last?
	I don't know, but I can tell you this, that there's not a lot of loyalty in federal workers.
	Most of them are only one paycheck away from saying sayonara.
	The only thing keeping them there is the paycheck.
	Then again, you could argue the same thing is true across most of private industry too, right?
	Grocery workers and fast food workers and other types of just common employees.
	The paycheck is the only thing keeping them there too.
	So I think what's going to happen at the federal level is that as the dollars lose more and more purchasing power, you're going to see the federal government print more money and then dramatically raise wages as they're chasing the hyperinflation.
	So there'll be automatic raises of federal workers and the frequency of those raises will become shorter and shorter.
	It might be right now they're going to get a raise – Once a year, and then it might be after that a raise every quarter, and then maybe there's a raise every month.
	And then at some point, you got to raise the pay every week.
	And we're in Weimar, Germany territory at that point, or Venezuela territory.
	And eventually the system just breaks and falls apart.
	But This system could stumble along for quite some more time.
	I don't want to suggest that the dollar is going to completely collapse tomorrow or even this summer.
	I think the dollar could limp along and just steadily lose value.
	I mean, look at Venezuela.
	They've been playing the hyperinflation game for years, more than a decade.
	I don't remember how many years exactly, but it's been going on a long time.
	That could also happen with the dollar.
	Things could also be Well, there's a school of thought called the financial catastrophism, which is when you get into feedback loops of like a doom vortex of destructive effects.
	And actually, this seems more likely to me because of all the intertwining of derivatives and leveraged debt instruments and the systemic effects of interbank lending and debt exposure.
	I tend to believe that we're Things happening suddenly and just amplifying in a totally destructive, catastrophic way.
	Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere and wiping out the whole system before anybody realizes what's going on.
	I don't think this is going to be a gradual process of the erosion of the dollar.
	I think this is going to be a catastrophic collapse at some point.
	We just don't know when the point is.
	I could be wrong about that.
	But that's my take on it.
	I guess we'll just have to see how this plays out.
	But, you know, isn't it?
	It's a fascinating thought.
	What would happen if the U.S. government went into default and they could not even print the money to pay the government workers?
	And how soon could that happen?
	Could that happen in a few months?
	Could it happen before the midterm elections?
	Possibly.
	Not counting on it, but it could.
	But what would that look like?
	You know, total insolvency of the federal government.
	Well, interestingly, if you look back to 1991 and the collapse of the former Soviet Union and how that actually played out to create modern-day Russia, one of the things you're going to find is that even in that case, the collapse didn't all happen in one day.
	It was, you know, slowly at first and then suddenly, as the saying goes, but it actually took quite a bit of time to play out.
	And then there was a grab for the assets and the military hardware.
	And modern-day Russia ended up grabbing almost everything of value in terms of the military and the research facilities.
	And, you know, I mean, it was the capital of the Soviet Union anyway.
	So it ended up the natural recipient of a lot of these assets.
	Whereas in the United States, the capital is Washington, D.C., but that district of criminals has very few actual assets.
	For example, the military bases are not in D.C., I mean, the military bases are all over America.
	The ICBMs are distributed across Colorado and Texas and Montana and wherever.
	You know, the actual assets of America are not physically within the DC swamp, whereas in the old Soviet Union, a lot of the assets were fairly close to Moscow.
	So it's going to fall out very differently in America, and it's not difficult to imagine a scenario where the DC swamp is powerless and penniless and has nothing to In fact, some people say that's already happened.
	Some people say that the town is already abandoned and Joe Biden isn't even in the real White House because he's broadcasting from his fake set.
	And, you know, you've probably heard rumors or read things about some people who say that the District of Columbia is technically like foreign soil, things like that.
	It's not part of the United States of America.
	And, you know, perhaps legally and technically and under maritime law and everything, they might be absolutely correct.
	I don't know.
	But I know that when the dollar fails, D.C. has no power because that's their only power source is just coercion with money and paying people off and bribing people and controlling states by granting money to the states and then saying, oh, you have to go along with us and our D.C. has no power because that's their only power source is just You take away the money printing machine.
	D.C. has no power and you're going to see a rapid decentralization in the United States.
	And what that looks like next is anybody's guess.
	But I'm I'm betting we're going to end up with the Republic of Texas before this is all said and done, I.
	I don't think we're going to have the United States of America For very many more years, I think we're going to have the former United States of America, and we're going to have new countries, new republics, regional areas, maybe some conflicts,
	maybe some, not exactly a civil war of, you know, North versus South, certainly not that, but we might have regional conflicts and a little bit of settling out of who controls what, you know, and who gets what rivers for irrigation, for agriculture, and who gets what rights to this land and so on.
	But one of the very nice things about the collapse of D.C. will be that all the land that is currently, quote, federal land will revert back to the states and the people.
	So in states like Nevada, I think it's 70% or 80% of the physical state of Nevada is, quote, federal land, which is just federal theft, you know?
	That land should belong to the people of Nevada, shouldn't it?
	And it's a similar situation in Utah and Oregon.
	Not as high numbers, but there's a lot of federal land in Colorado and a lot of western states.
	That land belongs to the people.
	And finally, the collapse of the dollar will end the evil regime of money printing, That has kept this system of tyranny, of economic hitmen, of the military-industrial complex and the pharmaceutical extermination complex, the bioweapons systems and all these, they will no longer have any funding.
	So frankly, the collapse of the dollar will be one of the most merciful endings that you can imagine for a system of incredible evil and suffering and death on a global scale.
	And I don't want the American people to ever live in destitution, so I hope that this collapse doesn't last very long.
	But the only way to have abundance and freedom is to get back to an honest money system.
	And the only way to have an honest money system is to dismantle the current rigged corrupt system, which is, by the way, committing its own suicide.
	So when you see the dollar collapse, understand that It's okay to cheer for a replacement system.
	It's okay to cheer for honest money replacing the dishonest money that we've all lived under all this time.
	Money printing is a system of tyranny, and it's a system of death and extermination.
	And that has to end if humanity has a future.
	For humanity to have a future, it has to have an honest money system.
	And that is a decentralized system, no more fiat currency printing.
	It's got to be money backed by something real, whether it's gold or silver or commodities, as Putin is doing.
	He's ahead of the game, obviously.
	And it's got to be a system of money that's controlled by the people, not by some private international banking cartel of globalists and child traffickers or whatever little evil habits they're into these days.
	It's got to be the people's money.
	And if you have the people's money, nothing can stop America from becoming amazing.
	Nothing can stop the economic productivity, frankly, of any nation that's built on honest money.
	It has been the fiat currency money printing systems that have kept humanity suppressed and controlled, enslaved all these years.
	So yeah, celebrate the downfall of the system of enslavement and celebrate the resurrection, the rising up of new systems of money that will set humanity free.
	But make sure that we demand, I mean, we must stand up and demand this No more central banks, no central bank digital currency systems, no government-controlled digital wallets, no mark-of-the-beast systems.
	Oh, heck no.
	We're going to have an honest money system.
	We're going to buy and sell and trade with each other using decentralized systems of money, perhaps some form of crypto that's backed by something real, or perhaps silver coins, gold coins, or a combination.
	But something that is the people's money, not something controlled by global banking cartel crooks, which is what they are.
	And right now, the ruble is a far more honest currency than the dollar, by far.
	And because of that reason, Russia is already, I mean, Russia is going to have record profits.
	Russia is raking in the dough.
	Russia is going to be able to invest in its infrastructure and ultimately in its people and also in its national defense and so on, whereas America is losing everything because, you know, Biden and the Democrats wanted to punish Russia, ended up just committing economic suicide for the American people.
	There's going to be a period of suffering, obviously, but If you get out of the dollar and get into other things that hold value, you can avoid the worst effects of all of this.

	Also, I've got another video posted for you about the collapsed fiat currencies.
	I've been putting together a little collection of fiat currencies.
	Just, I don't know, buying old Zimbabwe currency and Yugoslavia currencies and so on.
	And they're all collapsed, but it's a fascinating look.
	And all these currencies.
	So check out that video on my channel.
	It's kind of fun.
	And you can see all different pictures of all different national leaders, half of whom look like pedophiles, by the way, on all these currencies.
	It's like somehow they're all perverts.
	I don't know why.
	It's like, whoa, nothing has changed.
	They're still perverts.
	And they're still printing money.
	And the whole thing is just repeating itself.
	Nothing new under the sun, folks.
	Pictures of perverts on fiat currency that's collapsing.
	Yeah, here we are again.
	Can we stop this cycle, please?
	Can we choose a different outcome for once?
	Can we learn the lesson, maybe, and not repeat these same silly mistakes?
	Please, God, let us learn from the mistakes that have been made hundreds of times over and over again throughout human history.
	Let us not go down that same path, huh?
	Surely we can do better.
	I'm pretty sure we can.
