Situation update for Thursday, April 21st, 2021.
Mike Adams here.
I hope I'm capturing it this time because this is my second attempt at recording this podcast.
I had recorded about 20 minutes a couple hours ago, and I just wasn't bringing it together properly.
Decided to go to sleep, let my brain reorganize the information, and it did, and I had this rather vivid dream of Of a landmass connecting two major cities or countries, this kind of connecting landmass being inundated with water.
And I don't know if the land was sinking or if the water was rising or if this is flooding or...
Earthquakes or tidal wave or what?
I don't know, but that came to me.
I don't normally dream about all kinds of floods and water inundation or anything, but that came to me.
And I think it gave me a better sense of the kind of the foreboding of what's coming for our planet.
So what we're going to be covering today are some of the signs of where things are headed.
And it's not pretty, folks.
It's not pretty.
We're going to talk about Russia's new Satan to ICBM, Union Pacific Railroad now asking customers to stop shipping goods by rail.
We've got corporate backlash against critical race theory and wokeism.
The Netflix stock crash, inflation going insane, and much more.
So those are some of the topics we're going to get to today.
But I want to start off.
Oh, and a major food crisis in China is underway.
They're not able to plant their crops in many regions because of the lack of fertilizer.
So we folks, I mean, let me let me try to set the big picture here.
We're looking at a global food collapse and a global currency collapse and frankly, a global commodities collapse, a global supply chain collapse.
And this is affecting everybody now.
And it's only going to get far worse.
And it will lead to mass uprisings, civil unrest, revolutions, civil war, the fall of nations and all of that.
It is now, it's inescapable.
This is what is happening.
And it's just, it's going to unfold a little bit more each day.
You're going to see this.
You'll see the signs, you'll see the protests one day, and then you'll see the food riots another day, and then massive food thefts of grocery stores, and then each day you'll hear about some other group announcing they can't get supplies and they're shutting down production.
I mean, on Fox News yesterday, it was about they can't get, this construction company can't get concrete, and they don't have workers.
And having problems with rebar and all this.
It's just day by day, this is what you're going to hear.
And have you been to the grocery store lately?
Have you bought any food lately?
You notice the prices are just skyrocketing.
Not by a little bit, but by a lot.
And it's happening everywhere around the world.
So we are living through and witnessing the last days of We're living through the last days of affordable food.
We are on the verge of global thermonuclear war.
And there's buzz out there that this thing, this whole situation with Russia is going to go nuclear.
And that may be why Russia is actually testing that new ICBM and sending out a signal to the United States and NATO to say, hey, don't mess with Russia.
If you nuke us, we'll nuke you back.
That's the kind of conversation that's happening right now, and I have a very bad feeling about where this is all headed because, well, we don't have intelligent, sane people in charge.
We have insane people who want to destroy humanity.
Now the first news item to get to here though Remember yesterday I talked about Gonzalo Lira had gone missing for several days.
And he's, well, he's born in the United States, but he's ethnically from Chile.
And he's been residing in Kharkov, Ukraine, and reporting.
And he's been very, very critical of the Ukrainian regime.
And, you know, he's been exposing what he calls the Zelensky thugs and death squads and assassination teams and so on.
And I'm very sad to report that it appears...
He may have been taken out by one of those teams.
We don't yet have confirmation, and this is horrifying if it's true, but it appears that Gonzalo Lira has been killed.
And the rumor is that Scott Ritter, who was recently interviewed by Gonzalo, is talking about this and talking about how Lyra has been arrested and murdered.
Again, we don't have absolute confirmation of this.
It is possible that Gonzalo has perhaps fled.
Maybe he's escaped.
Maybe he's gone underground.
Maybe he's been captured and silenced and thrown in a Ukrainian prison or something.
But it looks like he's been killed.
So if that's the case, it just adds to the urgency of our situation and the horrifying crimes of some of the people who are on the side of Zelensky and the Ukrainian government, and specifically the Azov battalion units, the actual Nazis in the east of Ukraine, who are in the business of kidnapping and murdering people who speak out against them.
It's a very dangerous time.
Now, by the way, I'm not saying that These murderous thugs are exclusive to the Zelensky regime.
There are murderous thugs in every government, including Russia and including the United States.
And if you don't believe me, just ask the ghost of Andrew Breitbart or...
Or Vince Foster, for that matter, or any number of other people who've been taken out by regimes all over the world.
So, you know, sadly, this is a commentary on humanity that we are not free, we are not safe, and we're not living under systems of liberty and justice for all, as the Pledge of Allegiance says in the United States.
We, the people of the world, no matter who we are, where we are, whether we live in Russia, Ukraine, United States, Canada, China, Japan, wherever...
We are all enslaved by a system of totalitarianism, fascism, tyranny, murder, violence, journo-terrorism.
I mean, it's these governments of the world that built these biological weapons and released them on the world specifically to kill us off.
That's what we're living under.
And they are, in fact, achieving their goal of killing billions of people.
It's in progress.
And have you noticed how many more people are dying lately People who have been vaccinated because the effects of the mRNA kick in over time.
This is exactly what you're going to see.
You're going to see millions of Americans dead in the next one to two years and then over the next decade, it's going to be tens of millions.
Just from the vaccine, not to mention war, financial collapse, economic collapse, starvation, violence, you know, the collapse of the rule of law and all of that.
So This is the most dangerous time in human history.
And we're living through it.
I mean, so far we are.
And it's a lot on our plate.
So let me continue here.
It's kind of an indicator of the volatility of what's going on in the financial markets.
Netflix crashed 35%.
Its stock did.
Just yesterday.
35% loss in one day.
Bill Ackman runs the major investment house.
He had initially bought something like over a billion dollars of Netflix stock.
He just sold it all.
He took a $430 million loss.
In order to walk away from Netflix because he sees how dark the future is and how overvalued Netflix is.
Now, Netflix, by the way, of course, produces witchcraft indoctrination shows for children and teens.
They produce shows that are almost pornography for teens.
It's very sexualized, hyper-sexualization indoctrination shows.
They produce woke shows.
Almost all their shows, they insult men, specifically white men.
They insult Normal, heterosexual people.
All the Netflix shows celebrate LGBT themes and LGBT people.
And, you know, it's just kind of like Disney.
It's like a pedophile grooming hub of content production.
Netflix and Disney are both in the culture war trying to mess with the minds of children and trying to destroy the family and trying to carry out, frankly, the aims of Satan.
Netflix has become an agent of Satan, and so has Disney, and so has the Pope at the Vatican.
It doesn't mean that all Catholics are worshipping Satan, obviously, but the Pope, who is an entity, is working directly for Satan.
His body is probably infested with a high-level demon.
No, seriously, that's not even hyperbole.
That's exactly what it is.
We're talking about demonic infestation or possession of that Pope, Francis.
So...
Bill Ackman sees the light on this.
He's like, I'm getting out of Netflix.
People are dropping subscriptions like crazy because, number one, they're tired of being preached at all the time with this wokeism garbage.
And then secondly, inflation is so bad that prices are going up on everything else, food and fuel and everything that you can imagine, housing, you name it, that people are having to make decisions about what to cut out of their budgets.
And so Netflix is one of the first things that they're cutting.
For all the obvious reasons.
So this is just the beginning of where things are headed.
I mean, this is the global rejection of the wokeism and the indoctrination.
This rejection is, in fact, accelerating.
There's another story that's quite fascinating.
The former CEO of McDonald's, his name is Ed Renzi, And he served as the CEO of McDonald's in the 1990s.
He is fighting back against woke corporations.
And he has apparently bought enough Bank of America shares to propose that Bank of America scrap all-staff CRT training.
He's formed something called the Boardroom Initiative, a partnership with the Job Creators Network, the Free Enterprise Group, and Second Vote.
And they're trying to protect shareholders and employees of publicly traded companies from all of the woke-tard policies and CRT and all the nonsense from the left, the corporate fascism.
Because the left is trying to push out all normal people from corporations, not just big tech, but all corporations.
And so the former McDonald's CEO is fighting back against that conversation.
Kind of fascinating, isn't it?
Never thought that McDonald's CEO would actually be drawing a line in the sand to defend sanity.
I mean, this is a guy who created Chicken McNuggets.
Well, it happened when he was the CEO. And they've been pushing out Happy Meals and playgrounds for children and everything.
It turns out this guy actually has more sense than the modern-day CEOs of these Woketar corporations.
So there's a lot of pushback in the culture wars, and that's actually a very encouraging sign because this left-wing cultism insanity has got to be dismantled.
got to be stopped in the public schools, you know, the child grooming operations, the drag queen story time, the pedophilia, the insanity that's in many public schools right now has got to be stopped because this wokeism is, it is a virus of the mind. the insanity that's in many public schools right now has It is extremely dangerous.
It will bring down civilization if it's not stopped.
I mean, it's already responsible for dismantling the energy infrastructure of Europe, which is going to very soon have catastrophic consequences.
It's going to lead to the economic destruction of Germany's industrial base, for example, because they're running out of sources of energy.
And that's all due to radical woke policies of the left.
You know, the climate change lunacy, which supposes that somehow magically everybody can just run off of solar power and When even solar panels come from, you know, minerals mined out of dirty mines in China and other places.
But nevertheless, I mean, I love solar energy as much as anybody, but you've got to have a transition plan.
You can't just, you know, ban fossil fuels and shut down all the pipelines and outlaw combustion engines and then say, okay, everybody, figure out how to feed yourself.
And that's what's happening.
So it's going to be absolutely devastating.
Now let's talk about Russia and Ukraine for a little bit here.
This information has gone public now, so I'm going to go ahead and cover it.
I had hints of this before, but I did not talk about it.
For basically OPSEC reasons, and also it wasn't confirmed.
But now the UK Daily Mail has covered this.
And here's the story.
This is actually a big bombshell story that the US media will not cover.
It turns out that the Moskva ship, the Russian flagship that was destroyed and sank in the Black Sea...
This ship was hit by missiles, but it was targeted by a U.S. surveillance plane known as the P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft.
So the UK Daily Mail is now reporting...
That this high-tech airplane, which is built on a Boeing, I think it's a 737 platform or some other model number from Boeing, this can spot ships on radar at more than 100 miles.
That two Neptune anti-ship missiles were fired at the Moskva on April 13th, and that the US Navy used its marine surveillance aircraft to provide accurate targeting data to Ukrainian forces to sink the Moskva.
So, in other words, the United States is at war with Russia.
Because if you're providing the targeting, And you're sending over the weapons, and you're doing the training of Ukrainian forces, which is exactly what's been going on.
Then, if you think about it, you're fighting the war.
I mean, you're doing the targeting, you're basically just telling Ukrainians, like, here, press this button to fire the missile.
You know, we'll provide the missiles, we'll provide the targeting, we have the technology, and we're going to destroy this Russian ship.
You just press the button, Ukraine soldier.
And that's what they did.
The problem with all of this, here's the problem.
Number one, the sinking of this ship doesn't really hurt Russia that much because it was kind of an older ship anyway.
And it's not like this is a giant naval battle going on.
I mean, this is a land battle with air cover is mostly what's happening.
I mean, this ship wasn't even able to contribute to the fight in any significant way.
But the real issue is that the sinking of this ship just made Putin far more powerful and popular with his own people in Russia.
Because this is being explained to Russian citizens as the United States has just waged, initiated a deadly attack on a Russian ship.
That was, for the most part, minding its own business, is what Russia would say, in the Black Sea.
This is, I'm going to call this Russia's Pearl Harbor.
Not at the same scale exactly, but with a similar kind of emotional reaction.
So let's back up to what was that, 1941, I believe, right?
And at Pearl Harbor in America, this event was allowed to take place Because the president needed to get America into the war.
And America did not want to fight a two-front world war.
It didn't want to fight, you know, Hitler across the Atlantic and then also fight the Japanese Empire in the Pacific.
It was a very difficult thing to pull off.
But the Japanese Empire was expanding rapidly.
It was expanding into, of course, already occupied Taiwan.
It had expanded into China.
It was holding real estate territory in China.
It was moving into the Philippines.
And frankly, Japan would have gained...
A tremendous stranglehold over much of the Pacific theater, including the islands, Guam, maybe even Hawaii, certainly Australia, New Zealand, and so on.
A lot of areas there that Japan would have been able to take and hold.
And so the U.S. Pentagon strategists who at the time in the 1940s were actually pro-America, you know, unlike the lunatics running the Pentagon today who are just more interested in transgenderism and being gay rather than actually defending the country.
But back in the 1940s, they were trying to stop the Japanese Empire and defend America.
And they needed a way to get the American people to To jump in emotionally and support the war effort in the Pacific.
So they allowed Pearl Harbor to happen.
They actually provoked Japan into the attack by having an oil embargo using the US Navy to cut off Japan from oil imports.
If that sounds familiar, it's kind of like the same thing America is doing right now and Western nations with the economic sanctions against Russia, trying to isolate Russia economically.
This is what America did to Japan.
Exact same blueprint.
So then Japan lashed out, attacked us at Pearl Harbor, and then it was the media coverage of Pearl Harbor and the dead soldiers, which...
I think it was, I'm just going by memory, but I think it was a couple thousand casualties.
I don't recall the exact number.
But in terms of the total war, it wasn't a huge number, but it was psychologically very impactful to the American people.
And the images of the blood and the suffering and the sinking ships and the idea that Japan hit us.
You know, Japan sank our ships.
Japan brought the war to us.
This rallied the American people.
It gave President Roosevelt the cover that he needed in order to go ahead and declare war against Japan and have Congress support him and then use war powers acts or wartime powers to take over America's industry.
So a lot of people forget this.
But at the time, the federal government went around to the car manufacturers, and there were a lot of industrial manufacturing companies domestically in the United States at that time.
There was a very strong steel mill operation in the East.
We had a lot of domestic supply chains that were functioning because we were building things domestically, including appliances and refrigerators and lawnmowers and bicycles and everything else.
And so the federal government went around to all those companies and just said, okay, we're basically ordering you now to stop producing whatever you were producing.
Now you're going to make airplanes and transport vehicles and rifles and boots and whatever else.
So it was basically...
Something like an NDAA takeover, National Defense Authorization Act, which was signed by Obama in 2012.
But there was something similar to that, I don't recall all the names, that was invoked in the 1940s.
But in order to do that and get away with it politically, they had to have the people rallying behind them.
So it took this massive emotional event of December 7th, 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor.
So the reason I'm saying all this is because the attack on the Moskva ship is much like Russia's Pearl Harbor.
And what this is doing is rallying the Russian people behind Putin and even giving Putin the political capital, you could say, to retaliate against the United States and We're good to go.
A Russian ship in the Black Sea, the Moskva, but Putin just gained the political capital to retaliate against America with nuclear weapons and the support of his people largely in doing that escalation.
That's where we are.
Because Russia has put out many warnings in previous weeks saying that Russia will defend itself against any aggressor.
And that attack on the Moskva is seen as an act of aggression.
Believe me, that's how it's being played right now in the Russian press.
So then, with that as the backdrop, we have Russia now doing a very public test of the so-called Satan-2 ICBM missile system.
It's the Sarmat missiles.
It's called the RS-28 Sarmat.
It's capable...
I'm reading from insiderpaper.com here.
It's capable of carrying 10 tons of payload...
Ten tons of payload.
In other words, this is a massive ICBM. It is capable of striking any target anywhere on the planet.
It goes into essentially low Earth orbit altitude, although it does not go into orbit.
It just does an arc, but it leaves the lower atmosphere.
I don't know the altitude that it goes to.
It's probably much higher than the stratosphere.
And then it comes down anywhere they want it to on any city or any nation anywhere in the world.
And as it comes down, it deploys multiple reentry vehicles or as they're known, MIRVs.
MIRVs, I believe, is the acronym.
And this missile can deploy up to 15 MIRV warheads as well as so-called hypersonic glide vehicles or HGVs.
So what I want you to imagine is, at launch, this massive rocket, think of it as sort of the size of the Apollo mission rockets that NASA was launching back in the 1960s and 70s, okay?
It's about...
It's not quite as big as that, but it's very big.
This thing goes up high into, well, almost orbit.
And then as it comes down, the nose opens up.
And then out of the nose comes 15 re-entry vehicles, each one of which is a nuclear warhead that is much larger than Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Much larger.
Hundreds of times larger in terms of the...
We're talking megatons, not kilotons here.
Megatons.
And then, in addition, out of the nose comes these hypersonic glide vehicles.
These vehicles are traveling at multiples of the speed of sound.
They cannot be tracked.
They might be able to be seen, but they can't be interdicted by anything that the West has.
America is 100% defenseless against these systems.
Hypersonic glide vehicles are also nuclear warheads, but they can glide and they can maneuver and they can adjust and hit the targets that they intend to hit with extreme accuracy.
And by the way, these nuclear weapons, they tend to want to detonate at some altitude above ground, not actually hitting the ground unless they're bunker busters that are trying to penetrate a deep underground bunker and trying to get down into the underground tunnels and cities.
That are underneath the continental United States.
But for the ones that are just trying to destroy cities, they will detonate at altitude.
I don't know, a few thousand feet altitude.
I don't know what altitude they're detonating at.
And if they detonate at high altitude, then they can set off EMP effects.
So this can take out the power grid.
And if you take out the power grid of America, it doesn't even matter.
You don't even need to nuke the cities because you take out the power grid, 90% of the American population dies in, what, six months to a year or something like that?
I forgot what the report had assessed.
But it's about a 90% death rate because of the collapse of civilization, the collapse of everything.
You have no power grid.
Everything goes wrong.
I mean, and you end up just in total chaos and violence, and you lose your country.
So right now, this is what I want you to understand.
Russia just demonstrated that they can launch these missiles, and these missiles cannot be stopped by the United States.
These ICBMs, the Satan-2, I mean, what a name, right?
Well, that's what the West calls it, but they're called Sarmat missiles.
And that these missiles could detonate for EMP effects, they could take out America's infrastructure, or they could target specific cities or military installations, including deep underground military installations.
And this technology is real and it exists and Russia has it.
And Russia just demonstrated that they have it.
I believe in order to obviously send a message to say, don't mess with us because we can destroy your entire nation.
And Russia does have that capability.
So America is playing a very dangerous game right now by providing weapons and targeting systems, you know, monitoring and And training and everything.
America is basically at war with Russia while pretending that they're not at war with Russia but it's not fooling Russia.
And Russia now has the public support and the moral authority, at least in their view, in their minds, to escalate this into a nuclear retaliation because Russia feels that its very existence is threatened.
In other words, they talked about this earlier, that if there is an existential threat to Russia's survival as a nation, then that's when they will use nuclear weapons.
Are they at that point right now?
Well, we can't know what's in their minds exactly, but they could cross that threshold at any point, and they could decide that they must use nuclear retaliatory strikes against the United States.
And then suddenly the war is not just over there in Ukraine on a map that Americans have never seen before.
They're not familiar with any of it.
And I wasn't either.
I didn't know about the Donbass region until just a couple months ago.
But Russia can bring the war to America with nukes raining down on Colorado Springs, for example, or other military bases that are well known.
You know, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base outside of Tucson, for example.
Or, heck, just New York City, Wall Street, Washington, D.C. I mean, think about all the targets.
If they are taken out, how does America even function?
And the answer is it doesn't.
And what I'm trying to say to you is that we are, at any moment, just minutes away from being nuked by Russia.
I'm not sure what the travel time is, but I'm going to look it up here.
Okay, I'm doing a search here.
Turns out that, yeah, about 30 minutes is what it takes for an ICBM to fly from Moscow to New York City.
30 minutes.
So, I mean, your life could be over in 30 minutes.
Any of our lives could, because you can't survive that kind of nuclear detonation.
And yet, with our fake President Biden, they're out there risking all of this in order to try to cover up the crimes of the Biden crime family and their complicity in the Ukrainian bioweapons laboratories, which are all operated in violation of international law.
The Bidens are using the military and risking the lives of everybody in the world just to try to cover up their crimes because they don't want Putin to get his hands on all those documents in the bioweapons laboratory.
So this is a very, very dangerous game and we are all at risk and the bombing could literally start in 30 minutes.
The nuclear bombs.
Now adding to the insanity of all this The U.S. infrastructure is being deliberately dismantled.
And we have an update for you now from Union Pacific Railroad.
Turns out that one of our listeners contacted Union Pacific.
And if you're listening now, we thank you for doing this and sharing it with us.
Union Pacific replied with a link to a letter, a letter that's been sent out to the railroad customers.
And this letter, which I'll probably link to in the article today, This letter says, basically, it tells the customers who are using the railroad to stop using the railroad.
The letter says that beginning on April 18th, which was a few days ago, that Union Pacific was going to start, quote, metering rail traffic, which metering means that they're going to have limits to And after that, you're not allowed to have any more cars carried by the trains, by the locomotives.
So a lot of these companies like CF Industries, which provides fertilizer, and then there are coal companies and manufacturing companies and so on, and they have a lot of heavy loads and grain companies that provide grains to cattle herds and so on.
A lot of these companies have their own rail cars, and then they contract with Union Pacific to carry the rail cars.
Here, take this rail car from New Orleans and deliver it to St.
Louis or wherever.
Union Pacific is now saying, stop using our railroad, basically, because we can't handle the traffic.
They're publicly claiming that they're being inundated with so much demand to transport goods across America that they can't keep up with the demand, and they're ordering 30-plus major customers, including fertilizer companies, to stop using their railroads.
I mean, do you believe that cover story?
Oh, our railroad business is so huge, we can't haul rail cars anymore, even though that's the only thing that we do.
It would be like UPS sending out a letter to all its customers to say, please stop using UPS. Please stop sending boxes through UPS because we can't handle any more boxes.
Just boxes everywhere.
Just totally crazy boxes.
Like, ah, going insane.
Well, that's what Union Pacific is claiming.
There's rail cars everywhere.
Too many rail cars.
I don't believe it.
I'm not buying it.
Isn't that the whole point of trains is that you can throw on a few more cars on the end?
Just make the train a little longer?
Because it's all one long line.
You got a locomotive that can pull those trains.
All those cars.
I mean, you just disconnect the caboose, you throw a couple more cars on the end, and then you reconnect the caboose.
I mean, isn't that the whole point?
Isn't that what switching yards are all about?
I mean, I'm not a railroad expert, but for God's sake, it seems like common sense that You ought to be able to haul rail cars.
If that's...
I mean, you're a railroad.
That's what you do.
It would be like an airline telling passengers, stop flying!
Stop flying on our planes!
We just can't handle anymore.
So in this letter, Union Pacific says that they're hiring, I think, 450 additional employees, and they're buying 100 locomotives, they said.
I'm not buying that either.
I mean...
Technically, I should say that Union Pacific obviously knows their business more than I know their business.
So this is just my speculation.
But I'm not buying their cover stories.
And I'm not buying their claim that they're buying 100 locomotives because I don't know where you get 100 locomotives in the middle of a global supply chain crisis.
Where do you get 100 locomotives?
You know, those are the trains at the front that do the pulling.
And these locomotives are big beasts.
I mean, who makes them?
I mean, obviously somebody makes them, but I don't think you just order up 100.
They might make one every couple of months or something is just my guess.
I don't know.
I guess I'd have to do research on that.
And again, I'm not claiming to be an expert.
But when Union Pacific says, oh, yeah, we're going to hurry up and buy 100 locomotives, I'm like, from who?
Where are you going to get it?
I mean, it's nice talk, but it sounds like fantasy.
You know, given the supply chain these days, whoever's making these locomotives would probably say, yeah, we can get you 100 locomotives, as long as you don't need wheels or something like that, some key component that's missing.
Yeah, as long as it doesn't need an engine.
What are they running on, the locomotives today?
Is it diesel?
Are they diesel trains?
I mean, they got to go through a lot of fuel, but fuel is pretty easy to carry on land.
You just build a bigger fuel tank on the locomotive, right?
Doesn't cost you much more because it's not like an airplane where you have to carry the fuel with you in the air.
So you're paying a very high energy cost to fight gravity all the time.
On a train, you know, you're just sitting on rails.
And so it's not costing you anything to just carry more mass, kind of like on a ship.
You can carry a lot of fuel on a ship.
It doesn't really matter.
But I do want to say, before I move on to the next topic here, I do want to say, for the record, I am pro-railroad.
I think railroads are critical for national infrastructure.
And I think that America's railroads have been...
Really unfairly marginalized and frankly without railroads, our economy would be wrecked because railroads deliver goods very efficiently.
Things like fertilizer and coal and so on.
If you didn't have railroads functioning, you'd be paying triple for your electricity or triple for your food.
Well, you're probably going to pay triple anyway based on what's happening.
But without cheap delivery of fertilizer, which is very, very heavy, I know because I've got like 15,000 pounds of fertilizer here on pallets, and the pallets are wrecked because the fertilizer weighs 5,000 pounds a bag.
It's heavy.
It's like rocks.
But without trains to carry fertilizer, you don't have efficient food production.
So I hope that Union Pacific is going to resolve these problems.
I'm going to stay optimistic and hope they are.
And I'm going to wish that we would recognize the importance of railroads.
And I would hope that we would actually invest in railroads in this country because that actually makes your economy work better.
It's just that I'm not convinced of Union Pacific's current public explanation that they can't carry these loads because this is so much business.
I'm not buying that.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
Maybe somebody from Union Pacific will reach out to me and offer an updated statement or something.
Maybe they'll do an interview.
I'd be open to that.
We love railroads, folks.
We think you should carry the fertilizer, too, and the grain.
Just get yourself double up on the locomotives.
I mean, if you can buy 100, buy 200.
Just connect them together.

Yes, you can grow food.
I grow food.
I grow a lot of food.
I'm having a blast doing it.
It's the thing that actually gives me so much joy is to grow food and harvest it each day and throw a giant handful of kale and chard and lettuce and everything into my blender and make my smoothie.
I'm telling you, it's such a simple thing, but it gives me so much joy.
You can learn how to grow lots of food and maybe survive the food collapse that's coming.
So check it out at icangrowfood.com.
And then, of course, if you need backup communications, you can use the Bivvy Sticks, which are two-way satellite text messaging devices.
I think everyone should have one as an emergency backup device.
I won't travel without it, even in my car.
I have one in my car.
It just talks to the satellite.
It sends and receives text messages just like a mobile phone.
You have a US number assigned to it, so it uses SMS just like a mobile phone, except it's only going through the satellites, not through the cell towers.
So I guess technically it's not using SMS, but it appears like SMS. But you can send messages to other people's cell phones.
They can reply and you get them back on your satellite bivy stick.
Find out about this at sat123.com.
That's sat123.com.
Look for the bivy sticks, B-I-V-Y. And also, if you get one, note that you can skip the sign-up page.
You don't have to make an account to use it.
You don't have to turn on geolocation.
You don't have to enter your name.
None of that stuff.
You can use them completely anonymously.
That's the only way I use them.
Sat123.com.
Oh, you know, and I should mention, this is not a sponsor, but I promised you that I was experimenting with some de-Googled mobile phones.
And I purchased three of them.
All three have arrived.
And I have to tell you, although I'm not yet ready to give the name of this, well, organization, but I have to tell you, I have transitioned.
I've de-googled.
I've gone over to this new de-googled phone, and it has been seamless.
It has been seamless.
It's working extremely well.
I'm able to use all the apps that I want to use.
There's no Google on the phone.
It's not Google's Android operating system.
It's a different Android.
It has nothing to do with Google.
It doesn't report all my activities to Google all day long, which is what normal Androids do.
And it's been very, very smooth.
And that's in contrast to the other day I was setting up a new laptop that It, of course, has Microsoft Windows on it, and the seller didn't tell me that it was in S mode.
Now, Microsoft has Windows in S mode, which they say, I think, that S means safe, but I think it means something else, a different four-letter word.
But you have to take the laptop out of S mode, And in order to do that, you have to create new accounts and a fake Microsoft account and then have a local family account and then delete the Microsoft account after you take it out of S mode and all this stuff just to be able to use it like a normal laptop.
So just a word of advice, if you're buying anything that runs Windows, make sure you don't get anything with S mode in it.
It's a nightmare.
And if you're looking for a de-Googled phone, I'm going to share with you pretty soon, in a few days, what I'm using because it's absolutely working.
It's working very well.
I mean, it was so easy.
I just moved my SIM card over, installed some apps.
Everything's running.
It's running great, actually.
I thought it would be a nightmare, but it wasn't.
I just export all my contacts, move my contacts over, import, like everything worked.
I couldn't believe it.
I was truly expecting a much more difficult process, but it was real easy.
Oh, and by the way, the de-Googled operating system that a lot of people are using is called Graphene OS. Yeah, Graphene.
And I think the phone I'm using is a variation of Graphene, but I'm going to have to double-check that before I recommend it, in any case.
Yeah, get Google out of your life.
Trust me.
You're going to want to do that.
Speaking of tech, by the way, there was a massive Verizon outage yesterday.
People all over the country suddenly couldn't use Verizon.
I don't know if it's a cyber attack or a glitch or a routing problem or a DNS problem.
I don't know.
But things are getting less and less reliable.
You notice that?
I've also learned that solar panels are in very short supply in the United States.
So because of the problem sourcing raw materials and so on, it's getting very difficult to acquire solar panels.
So if you're looking at getting, let's say, a hundred watt or something in that range, a hundred watt panel to charge up your solar generator, you know, your battery pack, you might want to get that now if you don't already have one.
And be prepared.
It's going to cost a lot, but it's only going to go up in the future.
Some companies that sell solar generators that used to sell solar panels as a standalone item, they're no longer selling them as standalone items because they just don't have the inventory.
And this is going to get worse and worse across the whole system because shortages are everywhere.
And you know, there's something I wanted to add in today's podcast about printing money.
Because you can print money, but you can't print the things that you need that give value and meaning and survivability to your life.
So you can't print food, right?
You can't print commodities.
And then all the money in the world is not a substitute for a work ethic, is it?
We're living in a culture in America where there's very little work ethic, especially among younger people.
They just don't think they should ever have to work at all.
Most of them.
I know there are exceptions, but most of them.
And so, yeah, you can print money, but you can't make people want to have pride in their work.
So money is not a substitute for values.
Money is not a substitute for integrity.
Money is not a substitute for honest elections.
Money is not a substitute for truth-telling in the media, is it?
The media is lying to you all the time, and the Treasury and the Fed are printing money like mad.
So they can stuff your pockets with money.
They can make the stock market look good.
And you can look at your numbers on your screen all day long.
Look how much numbers we have!
So many numbers!
But you're still being lied to all the time.
You're still living in a country without a work ethic.
You're living in a country of demon worshippers, Satan worshippers, who are murdering their children.
Money printing doesn't deliver the things that matter for sustainable civilization.
And actually, as I just did there, if you describe money as just numbers, it actually sounds really ludicrous.
Instead of saying, oh, we're printing money and handing out money to people so that people have more money, if you just use the word numbers, oh, we're printing numbers and then we're handing out numbers to people so that people will have more numbers.
It sounds silly, doesn't it?
And you can use those numbers to To invest in other numbers so that your numbers get bigger.
And then you'll have lots of numbers on the screen on different tabs, on different browsers, different numbers.
And all those numbers keep getting bigger and bigger.
Isn't that great?
You know, while your border is being overrun, while your food price is tripling, while all your freedom is being taken from you because you're being censored by big tech.
Because have you noticed that the actual position of Democrats now is that the only way to defend democracy is to make sure the people they hate aren't allowed to participate in it.
That's their position.
And anything they disagree with is simply labeled hate speech.
They just say it's hate speech.
No matter what.
They don't like it.
It's hate speech.
We've even seen this, of course, in big tech.
You know, the open source platform Mastodon, which is a social media platform that is open source, and we built Brighttown.social based on Mastodon.
And then we released our open source code, which is the proper thing to do.
And Truth Social is being built on Mastodon.
And Gab has some of its components based on Mastodon.
So the Mastodon universe, which is run by authoritarian leftists, they've released an Android app and they've specifically banned any connections to Bright Town Social and Gab.
Believe me, they're going to ban Truth Social as well.
But then if you go look at their marketing materials about their app, it's all about, oh, inclusiveness and tolerance and the free sharing of ideas globally.
But that's not what they believe at all.
They believe in silencing those with whom they disagree.
That's Mastodon.
The people running the Macedon universe are tyrants and fascists and basically Nazis, even though that's what they accuse everybody else of being.
So if you don't bow down to the LGBT cult, then they just say, oh, yeah, it's hate speech and we're going to ban you.
So much for tolerance.
They don't tolerate anybody that has Christian values, do they?
But it doesn't matter.
I mean, they can't ban us.
You can still go to brighttown.social.
And use it all day long.
And we encourage you to do so.
You're going to find a lot of good content there, by the way.
Now, moving on, there's a major food crisis in China.
It's getting way worse now.
This is covered by the General Crisis Watch Substack account.
Eric Mertz wrote about this.
China on the verge of a major food crisis.
Says a third of the farmers in the Chinese provinces, Jilin, Huilongjiang, and Liaoning.
I don't know the intonation of those, but whatever.
They can't get the inputs to begin farming.
And he's citing an article from the Financial Times.
It turns out that these farmers can't get their fertilizers because of everything that's happening in the world.
And this is affecting China in a huge way.
And so they need to plant corn.
They need to plant grains in order to feed their animals.
Chinese people eat a lot of pork, by the way.
They raise a lot of hogs over there.
Which I find disgusting.
I don't eat pork at all.
It's nasty.
It smells like poop.
I don't know why people want to eat poop meat, but that's just the way it smells to me.
I don't know.
But also, I feel sorry for the pigs, because pigs are very intelligent animals, right?
And they're just treated horribly in China.
I mean, China treats its people like animals, and it treats its animals like dirt, like insects.
I mean, it's beyond insane.
You look at the lockdowns in Shanghai, and what they're doing to all those 25-plus million people there, starving them to death in their own buildings.
Yeah.
And then murdering their pets is just so insane.
But a key paragraph from this article I have to read for you.
Quote, the domestic situation in China is not helped by the fact that trucking volumes in rural areas have dropped by 87% for the year.
So you're having a trucking transportation crisis in China because of the lockdowns.
So, let's see, Vice Premier Hu Chunhua has called on provincial authorities to adjust their zero-COVID policies to stop arresting farmers for working their fields during the lockdown.
I mean, if there's one tip for a sustainable civilization, it should be stop arresting farmers.
Them people trying to grow food for you.
I mean, geez, think about it.
The article continues, this crisis seems to be driven by local officials implementing strict policies which result in truckers facing two-week quarantines.
So if you're on the road with your truck, you get dragged out of your truck and put into a COVID camp for 14 days, and then they charge you for the COVID camp.
They charge you $556, and that's half the annual average income for a truck driver in China.
So the truck driver is like, well, we're just not going to drive the trucks.
So the article continues, the situation linking rural areas to the cities aren't much better as major cities and even entire provinces have shut down highway travel to prevent becoming another Shanghai.
In other words, they think that there's actually COVID in Shanghai, which is all fabricated.
It's all just completely contrived.
And they're trying to stop the spread to other cities, so shutting down all the highways.
So Beijing has ordered provincial authorities to implement priority passes to allow long-haul truckers to deliver goods, but it is likely too little too late.
I mean, I don't know why I'm laughing.
It's horrifying, actually.
So China is starving its own people to death.
China is dismantling its own domestic transportation infrastructure in almost exactly the same way.
That Biden is dismantling America's transportation infrastructure, which is why I don't believe Union Pacific and their public letter when they say, oh, we just have too much to carry.
No, I think you've been ordered by the White House to shut down, to reduce loads dramatically.
That's what I think is going on.
And I think Union Pacific is just following orders and doing what they're told, which is like another page ripped right out of communist China.
This is a global effort to achieve mass starvation of the human race.
Understand?
And yes, China is participating with the globalism.
Heck, they're running a lot of it.
China runs the World Health Organization.
The United States is participating.
You know, of course, Ukraine was as well in Western Europe and Australia and New Zealand.
So many countries around the world are participating in this.
And the one country that's not participating is Russia, which is why the West is trying to destroy Russia.
Russia is just like, hey, you people are freaking insane.
We just want to grow food over here and not have missiles at our door.
This basically is what Russia is saying.
But the world has gone insane.
It's so bad that the state of Georgia has declared a state of emergency over supply chain shortages.
I'm reading from Aidan Tate of the Organic Prepper.
Things have gotten so bad in Georgia that the governor has now declared that the state is living under a state of emergency due to supply chain shortages.
And it turns out, folks, that the situation in Georgia is so bad with the supply chain that Justin Bieber is having to rewrite his Peaches song.
And so I thought I would just perform a little bit of the song for you here.
And here's the way it's going to go.
I mean, he's going to sing it better than I do, but here's how it's going to go.
Ain't got no peaches out of Georgia.
Can't get no weed from California.
Got backyard chickens from the store.
Yeah.
Can't get no food from any source.
Yeah.
And I say, oh, the way we all locked down can drive around this town.
Ooh, I want to wrap my arms around this bag of potatoes.
That's how it's going to go.
It's a supply chain collapse song that's coming soon from Justin Bieber.
I know I just let that out of the bag right there.
Out of the potato bag.
But you heard it here first.
Yeah.
Have no illusions.
You heard it here first.
Right?
That's...
No more peaches!
Republican Brian Kemp...
Who is, of course, a globalist puppet.
You know who Kemp is.
He decreed this executive order on April 14th, stating that COVID was the reason for the economic distress and supply chain issues.
Kemp locked down Georgia at the beginning of 2020.
Oh, just like China.
And Georgians received another notification in November 2020 that it would be locked down again for another two months.
So Kemp, he's just pulling a CCP here.
Kemp locks down Georgia.
And then he's like, oh my God, things are getting bad, so let's declare an emergency.
And the emergency gives more powers to the governor to do more damage to the infrastructure.
This is the template that's being used globally to tear down our systems, to starve us all to death.
That's their goal, you understand?
They're going to starve the people of China to death, starve the people of America to death, and then they're going to collapse the currency at some point in this, wherever it is strategically advantageous to really make people desperate.
Oh, you're hungry?
Oh, yeah, wait until your dollar is worth nothing.
Good luck using your food stamps.
That's not worth anything anymore.
Good luck when the food prices are up 500%.
What's it going to eat now, huh?
So then all the governors are going to declare emergencies, and Biden's going to declare an emergency.
They'll probably use the National Defense Authorization Act to try to take over food producers across America, which is basically a communist control effort to just nationalize food companies and have centralized communist government planning who gets to eat.
And in that scenario, do you think the food is going to get shipped to rural areas in red states?
Oh, no, no, no.
No, they won't even allow monoclonal antibodies to be shipped to the red states.
No, if you're in a red state, you're supposed to just die.
No, they're only going to ship the food to the blue cities.
They're going to save or try to save.
They're going to try to save the people in the blue cities while starving out the rural people.
Trust me, this is coming.
This is going to be political starvation warfare in the United States.
It is coming.
Fortunately, rural people have more sense about how to grow food, how to can food, how to preserve food, how to smoke it, how to salt it, how to pickle it.
And how to butcher it.
How to go out and shoot it and drag it in and butcher it.
Whoa.
That's not a skill set that I possess, but plenty of people I can trade with who do.
I'd be like, sure, I'll take some of that venison sausage.
Just don't tell me how it's made.
I just don't want to know that part.
Thank you.
Would you like some broccoli sprouts?
I'll trade you.
And in the meantime, of course, in order to blame everything on Russia, America is trying to provoke Russia into a nuclear war, a nuclear exchange, so that everything's blown to smithereens.
And then Jen Psaki can stand up there if Washington, D.C. isn't leveled.
She can stand up there at her podium somewhere and just say, oh, things are so horrible, it's because we got nuked.
Oh, it has nothing to do with Biden's policies that were destroying America before all that, of course.
No, it's all Putin's fault.
But then again, if the nukes start falling, everybody's priorities are going to be instantly reorganized.
And if you thought the supply chain situation was bad now, wait until the nukes start falling.
You're not going to get anything.
I mean, the whole country is going to go into panic hoarding mode at that point.
And have you thought about the reality that if the government starts taking over food companies, I mean, they could even take over our company?
Can you imagine if you couldn't even buy anything from the Health Ranger store because government's done it?
Actually, folks, I hate to tell you, this has already happened to some companies.
I'm not going to name names, but you've heard...
In the last several months about certain food companies saying, oh, you know, we're shutting down for six months because of the supply chain problem.
You've heard that, right?
You know who I'm talking about?
Yeah, it's because it's all going to the government bunkers.
And then these food recalls that you hear about, I've talked about this before, You hear about, oh, you know, 100,000 pounds or 10 million pounds of ground beef or whatever.
It's all recalled because somebody found E. coli in one sample one time somewhere.
Recalling all that meat, you think they throw that all the way?
No, it goes into the underground bunkers.
It's all going to the government.
The government is stockpiling like mad.
That's what food recalls are mostly all about.
So I guess all that is a weird way of saying if you want to get some supplies from us or anybody else, you should probably hurry up and do it before the government takes over all food and then they get to decide who gets it.
Because it looks like that may be coming.
Speaking of the Health Ranger Store, we do have a couple things back in stock, which is, you know, it's a daily challenge.
We've got collagen peptides back in stock, and we've got pumpkin seed protein also back in stock.
HealthRangerStore.com for your pumpkin seed protein.
Now, personally, I like whey protein a lot better.
But whey protein is going to get crazy expensive because of the dairy herds being culled because of the railroads dropping grain deliveries and so on.
Whey protein is going to get just insanely expensive.
I can already tell.
Pumpkin seed protein is a more affordable alternative for a lot of people, but it's used by a lot of vegans, obviously, because it's plant-based.
The thing is...
You know, it's not as sweet as the whey protein, and it's got a little more texture to it, you know, because it's from pumpkin seeds.
But vegans love it.
A lot of people love it.
It's just I prefer whey protein, I've got to tell you.
But I could see blending the two also to try to save money as whey goes up in price.
You know, you could do like half whey, half pumpkin seed protein.
That'd probably be all right.
We almost sold out of our blueberries, and they may be gone by the time you hear this.
You know, we had, I don't know, thousands of the freeze-dried blueberry number 10 cans, and they're just wiped out, just gone.
Because, you know, people are smart.
It's like, hey, I've got stored food, but I don't have any stored fruit.
Where am I going to get my vitamin C? Where am I going to get the anthocyanins, you know, the healthy nutrients that are in fruits?
So freeze-dried blueberries last a long time.
Any kind of freeze-dried berries, I mean, 10 plus years, seriously, is what...
Remember, I opened up a can of freeze-dried raspberries from, what, 2010 or 2011?
And I was munching on those, and they were perfectly good.
It's like, I mean, nothing had changed.
They were still perfectly good.
So freeze-dried fruits last a long time.
And I would say freeze-dried fruits are basically currency in a collapse.
I mean, worth their weight in silver, probably.
So, you know, have some silver, but also have some food and have some extra barter food because that stuff's going to be hard to come by.
You can see where all this is going.
Anyway, the bottom line, folks, is get yourself squared away with food.
Learn how to grow food.
Learn about the Kratky method that I use that is just working like gangbusters.
I've even heard people talking about Kratky jars.
Growing one plant in a mason jar using the Kratky method.
You could just search for that online and probably find videos about that.
Pretty cool.
Get everything that you need to survive a nuclear war, because that seems to be where this is maybe headed.
I'm sorry to say, but look who's in charge and look what they want to do and look at how they're trying to starve everybody to death.
And if you think they won't launch a nuke, you don't know these people.
They're so evil, they'll celebrate it.
They'll press the button and jump up and down with joy.
Because they celebrate death because they are working for, you know, the prince of death himself, Satan.
So just have no illusions about how evil these people are and what they're trying to do and get prepared or you won't make it.
It's as simple as that.
It's not about this message being, you know, dark or negative or positive or whatever.
It's about practical stuff, folks.
Russia's got nuclear missiles.
America's trying to provoke Russia into launching them.
And even if they don't do that, the powers that be are trying to starve everybody to death in China, in America, in Europe.
Europeans are screwed.
They don't know it yet, many of them, but they are screwed.
They are toast next winter.
Well, not toast.
I guess they're more like ice cubes.
They're going to be really freezing.
And it would be a good time to have, you know, a little kerosene heater or other alternative sources of heat, especially if you're in the northern latitudes like, you know, Western European nations.
So anyway, get prepared, folks.
Situation is going to get very, very dicey.
I will be back with you tomorrow with additional updates on whatever is unfolding, but I do not have a good feeling about where this is headed.
