All right, welcome to Situation Update Wednesday, April 27th, 2022.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me.
We're going to cover the big bombshell news of Russia now cutting off gas pipelines to Poland, which also supplies natural gas to Germany.
The cutoff has happened.
It's done.
Because, of course, Russia said you've got to pay in rubles or you're not going to get any gas.
And I guess Poland and Germany and the delusional NATO countries, they thought, ah, it must be bluffing.
Not bluffing.
You have no gas.
You don't pay rubles, you don't get gas.
I mean, that's what it is.
We're going to get to that story in just a second.
But first, we have an even more entertaining story that comes out of the internal meeting at Twitter among the top attorneys and board members and so on.
This has come out in the media over the last 12 hours or so.
All the libtards that have run Twitter into the ground through extreme censorship and total intellectual dishonesty, claiming to be inclusive and diverse while they're actually just banning everybody with whom they disagree.
Well, it turns out that their top attorney just started crying during the meeting.
Just crying about the fear of not being able to censor conservatives any longer.
And doesn't that just take the cake?
Oh, they love to use Twitter to brutalize conservatives and Christians through censorship and deplatforming.
They think nothing of abusing their own power when they have the power.
But as soon as Elon Musk buys Twitter, and it looks like he's going to reverse the situation and reinstate lots of people on Twitter, lots of conservative voices and so on, then the Twitter people lose their minds.
They go insane.
Crying in the board meeting.
No censorship!
We're not going to be able to censor conservatives any longer.
That's what these leftists are.
They're literally crying in their board meetings because censorship is all that we have.
We have no reason.
We can't win arguments.
We can't win debates.
We only have censorship and now that's gone too.
This is what they are.
It's just so pathetic.
Like, Elon Musk should dropkick these people out the third floor window.
Just...
Have fun!
Seriously, think about all the damage they've done to this country.
The damage during the elections, the damage to the small businesses that were conservative businesses or Christian businesses, the extreme censorship and deplatforming, the tyranny that they have expressed, the attacks on human dignity that have been unleashed by these Twitter board members and Twitter lawyers and attorneys who are now sobbing, just so sobbing, no more censorship.
Yeah, you know what?
I hope you cry for the rest of your life for the harm that you unleashed against so many other innocent people.
Millions of people have suffered under you.
You people belong in prison, okay?
Let's just be clear.
You belong in prison for what you have done to the rest of the world.
And in fact, I hope Elon Musk takes all your internal emails and all your little memos and all your videos, which are now going to be his property because he will own the company.
And I hope he publishes all that on the web.
WikiLeaks style.
You know, Twitter leaks, as I'm calling it.
I think you should just publish it all and just say, wow, look at the company I bought.
Look at what criminals these people have been.
Just publish the whole thing.
Full transparency.
And then let the new Congress coming in after the election start issuing subpoenas to get all the data and all the logs and And start demanding criminal inquiries into these former Twitter board members and screaming, crying, sobbing lawyers and just throw them in prison if they're convicted.
Prosecute these people.
What they did, in my opinion, these are crimes against the American people.
Crimes against the civil rights, the human rights, the basic fundamental dignity of human beings.
The First Amendment, the right to speak, that's what Twitter destroyed.
And those people should burn in hell for what they've done.
But we have an even bigger story than that, as entertaining as that story could be.
The bigger story is about Russia now halting gas deliveries to Poland and therefore Germany.
We're going to get to that in just a second.

Alright, now, Russia has shut off the gas to Poland and Germany.
And this is through the Yamal-Europe pipeline.
Now, if you're familiar with the geography of that region, which everybody should be by now, given what's going on there, the pipeline runs through Russia, I mean, from Moscow, and then it runs through Belarus, And it goes through Warsaw, Poland, and it makes its way to Germany.
So it crosses Poland to get to Germany.
Now, Russia had previously threatened several weeks ago.
We covered it here.
They said, if you don't pay rubles, you don't get gas.
And the NATO nations said, ah, they're just bluffing.
They're just joking.
They'll take our dollars.
Fat chance, because, of course, Russia's been cut off from the SWIFT system, which means that Russia can't really use dollars.
So dollars are basically useless to Russia, and as Russia's energy minister said, we're not in the business of giving away gas for free.
So they said you got to pay in rubles or Bitcoin or gold or whatever, whichever one of those three you can come up with the easiest, right?
Yeah, we'll take gold too, you know, gold for gas.
That's pretty awesome if you're Russia.
So the NATO nations said, no, you're bluffing.
And they said, you're not going to turn it off.
You can't turn it off because our entire Western NATO economies depend on your gas, especially Germany, by the way.
And Russia has just concluded and proven that they're not bluffing, so they've turned it off.
Now, This is fascinating because you know how Western civilization is living in these delusional fairytale lands of transgenderism and fake money and fake news and fake history and everything?
All the reporting on the war in Ukraine is all completely faked by Western media.
Everything's fake.
The fake medicine, fake science, the fake pandemic, all of it's fake.
You got false flag operations left and right everywhere.
You know, try to control people.
And so now, Poland is faking like they still have plenty of energy.
This is just hilarious.
Their climate minister, Anna Moskva, Nothing to worry about.
She says the warehouses of natural gas are 76% full.
She says there will be no shortage of gas in Polish homes, she says.
Notice she says homes.
She didn't say the rest of the story, which is that there will be a shortage of gas in Polish homes.
In Polish power companies and businesses and industry, which is obvious.
That's what's happening because their warehouses are 76% full.
It's going to last about a week.
So a week down the road, Poland is going to have almost no natural gas.
Except maybe what they can acquire through emergency efforts to try to get, you know, liquefied natural gas from other countries, which is very, very expensive compared to, you know, pipeline gas.
So gas prices are going to go through the roof in Poland.
So quoting climate minister Anna Moskva, remember she says there'll be no shortage of gas in Polish homes.
What she didn't say is that there will be a shortage of electricity in Polish homes and a shortage of electricity in Polish businesses and Polish industry because of the lack of gas.
So she's being very deceptive, you know, like a serpent, like these people are, the climate minister.
Of course, she's a liar.
And she's spoon-feeding the Polish people a bunch of lies that are going to dissuade them from taking preparedness steps to be ready to live without electricity or with rolling blackouts, you see.
I mean, they won't have electricity all the time, but they may not have 100% blackouts, but they'll have rolling blackouts.
And then industry will be shut down, so people will lose their jobs.
And there'll be a lack of production.
Some of that production might include food production.
So there'll be food shortages because of the lack of energy from Russia, you see.
Because they refuse to pay in rubles.
And you know, my book, my free book, Resilient Prepping, is coming out this week.
It might be tomorrow, actually.
I know everybody's been waiting for that for quite some time, but you know in that book I talk about how to survive without electricity, how to survive the total collapse of civilization.
The people of Poland might want to get that book.
It's a free download that's coming at resilientprepping.com.
Resilientprepping.com.
You can pre-register for it now and be alerted via email or just wait for the whole thing to go live.
And you can download all the audio files and the PDF that's printable, full transcript, and you can learn what I have to share about multiple layers of prepping and survival.
Well, the people of Poland need to be prepping right now.
They need to learn to live off-grid because their grid is going down.
And it could go down starting as early as a week, maybe a couple of weeks from now.
And it begs the question, how long will it take Poland to decide that they would rather pay with rubles instead of just living in the dark and having their entire economy decimated?
But of course, Poland isn't even the biggest question here.
The big question is Germany.
Because Germany is the massive manufacturing industrial base of Western Europe.
This is the question.
What happens when Germany has no gas?
Well, the consequences to the German economy are nothing less than apocalyptic.
We're talking about, if it's sustained, the total collapse of the German economy as it exists today.
The total collapse, the complete destruction of most small businesses and even large factories, medium-sized companies, you name it.
Mass unemployment, social unrest, uprisings, revolution.
I mean, you can't run a country without electricity.
And Germany needs natural gas to have the lights on and to power the factories and power industries, just to power grocery stores for that matter.
And by the way, how are they going to power all their electric cars when they have no electricity?
See, this is the other thing.
All these climate freaks talking about, you should just buy an electric car!
And they don't realize that the electricity comes from Russian gas run through the power generation plants that use gas.
You know, hydrocarbons become your electrical current that charges your car, you see.
So people aren't going to have electricity if this situation isn't resolved.
So I wonder, you know, how long is it going to take for Germany and Poland together to say, ah, you know, I guess we'll figure out where to find rubles.
You know, as I say, what was the five stages of grief?
You know, denial, depression, bargaining, whatever.
And then the last stage is paying in rubles.
They're about to go through those stages on an accelerated schedule.
And I saw another announcement from some European country earlier today said that they plan to be completely away from all Russian gas by the year 2027.
This is their plan.
It might have been an EU announcement.
No more Russian gas by 2027.
That's okay.
Great.
But the year now is 2022, unless you've been in a time machine.
What are you going to do for the next five years?
Just let everybody starve?
Because that seems to be their plan.
That's the climate plan for Western Europe.
Just piss off Russia's like, we don't need your stinking gas!
And then just tell other people, just, you know, imagine that the lights are on, you know, just self-identify as someone who has a power grid that's functioning.
Because that's what Western civilization has now plunged into, is just delusional self-identity thinking.
I mean, if a man can get pregnant, you can pretend to have electricity.
Problem is, of course, it doesn't work because it's all pretend.
It's all fairy tales.
I mean, hydrocarbons count because they are molecules that exist in the physical world.
And those physical molecules can be harnessed to release energy in the form of, you know, heat and to drive turbines to generate electricity and so on.
But you have to have the actual hydrocarbons.
You can't just pretend that there are hydrocarbons everywhere or that your electricity comes out of the ether.
Although I should say, by the way, there are, of course, you know, cold fusion devices, technology to generate energy from like zero point energy and things like that.
Those do exist.
But of course, Western countries suppressed all that technology for the last hundred years.
In order to maintain control over the people.
So now, when Russia cuts off the hydrocarbons, these Western European nations, like the UK, that suppressed free energy technology, they're going to be sitting there with their bleep in their hand, going, oh, we sure could use some free energy right about now, but you're not going to have any, because you shut it all down.
Your censorship has consequences, you see.
So as of right now, by the time you're hearing this, gas is not flowing in the Yamal Europe pipeline, and there's no gas.
Gazprom, which is the Russian company, has just shut off the valve in Moscow or wherever that valve is.
In Russia, I'm sure there's lots of valves.
But even Bloomberg is now confirming that all deliveries of natural gas are being halted.
And so...
Poland's gas company called PGNIG, which is like Poland gas, natural gas or something.
They say they're going to sue and they're going to seek damages over the breach of contract.
Really?
You want to talk about breach of contract?
How about Poland and the UK and the US and all the central banks of Western NATO countries looting $300 billion in Russian currency reserves?
How about that?
For breach of contract.
You want to talk breach of contract.
It's like, we shut you off.
We stole your money.
You know, we deplatformed you from Swift.
And then when you didn't give us your gas, we decided you're the bad guy.
That's what Poland is doing in a New York accent or whatever.
How dare you not sell us gas that we pay for using currency that you can't use because we shut you off of the global financial platform system because we don't like you.
That's pretty much the message from NATO countries.
It's just totally freaking insane.
At this point, I'm happy Russia shut off the gas to Poland and to Germany because I think these people need to sit in the dark for a few weeks and figure out what's real, frankly.
Yeah, I'll say it.
I'm happy about it.
I think that Western Europe needs a reality check badly.
And I don't want to see the people suffer, but I do want to see the people send a message to their corrupt governments to say, hey, why are you doing this to us?
Why are you doing this?
Why don't you just pay the man in rubles?
Turn the lights back on, huh?
Oh, and on top of that, of course, Germany is sending tanks to fight with Russia.
So it's like, yeah, we're going to send tanks to shoot your soldiers and to blow you up.
We're going to send heavy hardware into your region of the world and kill your people, but you better keep selling us gas.
I mean, what kind of cry-bully bargaining is this?
And I know Germans don't sound like that, but it's the right tough guy kind of attitude.
It's like the New York bully attitude, you know?
But Poland has delivered tanks to Ukraine as well.
Did you know that?
Poland just said they're delivering tanks.
They haven't said how many or what kind, but they're delivering tanks.
Do you think that has anything to do with Russia shutting off the gas pipelines?
Of course it does.
Russia's like, you deliver tanks to Ukraine?
Let me shut off the gas pipeline.
What do you think, huh?
The Czech Republic has delivered T-72 tanks.
Germany's tanks are these anti-aircraft tanks, which are probably a joke compared to Russian anti-aircraft systems, by the way.
The UK is sending stormed armored vehicles with anti-aircraft missiles also.
But, you know, if it's British military technology, it probably doesn't work very well.
Slovenia is sending T-72 tanks.
You know, the tanks that were built by the Soviet Union in the first place.
So of course, Russia knows where all the weak points are on all the T-72s and T-72s are kind of old, kind of outdated.
Isn't it almost hilarious how all these Western European countries are just kind of flushing their old military hardware into Ukraine?
Which is only going to get more Ukrainian soldiers killed with all this old, outdated equipment.
But you see, it's all a racket because these Western, these NATO countries, they can say, ah, we donated so many tanks to Ukraine, now we need new tanks.
And then the government will print more money and then they'll pay the weapons manufacturers and they'll order a bunch of shiny new tanks.
For their own stockpiles, you see.
This is a tank recycling program, is basically what this is, to enrich the weapons manufacturers at the expense of the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers who are being decimated because they're being handed all this old, outdated equipment when they often have no chance against Russian artillery, Russian aircraft, Russian hypersonic missiles, advanced Russian technology.
People.
This is insane.
That the Ukrainian soldiers are having to give up their lives so that these British and American weapons manufacturers can make a few billion dollars more in profit.
And just the gall of these countries is like, yeah, we're going to send tanks to kill Russians and then, hey, Russia, keep selling us gas, please.
And if you shut off the gas, we're going to sue you.
Russia's like, who cares?
You're going to sue us?
We're going to launch artillery at you.
Or maybe nuke you at some point.
It seems to be where this is going, right?
Maybe Russia launches a tactical battlefield nuke to strike eastern Poland.
I mean, that's kind of where this is going.
I mean, do you think Russia cares about a lawsuit at this point?
A lawsuit?
After you stole $300 billion from Russian reserves?
You know the Western banking system didn't even lock up the bank reserves of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich.
You know?
You know why?
Because it was all the top globalist banking cartels that were bankrolling the Third Reich.
They were bankrolling it.
They were in on it.
In fact, just look up the history of the Bush family and their involvement in the banking cartels to fund Adolf Hitler.
Yeah, all those links are there.
IBM! Manufactured, you know, punch card machines, computing systems, early systems for the Third Reich.
IBM helped enable the Holocaust.
All these corporations were getting rich while the Jews were dying by the millions.
Now it's the Ukrainians who are dying while the same kind of corporate giants in the West keep getting rich.
But it's the same scam just repeated now, a different set of innocent victims.
And now, by the way, the Ukraine Central Bank has banned Bitcoin purchases using the national currency of Ukraine.
That's right.
They banned purchases of Bitcoin.
Can you imagine any reason why they would do that?
Why would they ban purchasing Bitcoin with Ukraine currency?
Because so many people in Ukraine are buying Bitcoin.
Why are they buying Bitcoin?
Because the Ukraine currency is going to collapse, perhaps, or at least they think it will.
Or because Bitcoin is more portable, you can put Bitcoin on a thumb drive and put it in your pocket, and if you can manage to flee the country and get to some other area of Europe, you could set up operations there, log into your Bitcoin wallet, or just remember your passphrase on your encrypted thumb drive, and then boom, you got all your money back again, or at least...
You might lose a little bit or gain a little bit depending on the volatility of Bitcoin.
But this is where crypto really shines, is when you're a refugee fleeing someplace and you need to make sure you still have your money and you don't want to carry a little suitcase of cash, especially if that cash is losing value every day, which is what's happening with fiat currency, of course.
Think about it.
Banning Bitcoin purchases with the national currency would have been smart to have, let's say, already had some Bitcoin, right?
Or other kinds of crypto.
Of course, I recommend Monero because it's a privacy coin and no one can really track it.
And technically, if you set it up correctly, they don't know you have it.
So would it be good to have some crypto off the grid that your government doesn't know about if you're in the middle of a war zone or living under a corrupt regime or maybe being invaded or about to be taken over by some other country?
Yeah, it'd be a great idea to have some privacy crypto.
Again, that's where it shines.
But the government says they don't want you to have any crypto because they want you to just hold on to their fiat currency all the way to zero.
And one day the same thing is going to be true in America as well.
They will try to ban the purchase of cryptocurrency using U.S. dollars.
And in doing so, they will prove that U.S. dollars are more and more worthless.
What can you use it for?
The dollar is losing all its value versus food and fuel and housing and used vehicles and commodities and everything else.
What can you use it for?
If you can't buy crypto with it, then it's harder and harder to convert dollars into something else that might have value.
Again, the only deals right now are gold and silver because they're artificially suppressed.
I covered that yesterday.
I mean, the government is suppressing gold and silver by roughly, I think, about 80%.
So those are kind of bargains right now.
But food isn't a bargain.
Gasoline isn't a bargain.
The dollar is losing value against all those things.
So the fiat currencies are going to be locked down by force, in essence, by criminalizing people who try to use Ukraine's currency or the dollar currency or the Canadian currency or what have you to get out of the currency and trade it for other stuff.
But getting back to the Ukraine situation, all this shipping of heavy hardware, tanks and anti-aircraft systems and so on, artillery and drones and everything, all of this going into Ukraine, this is not helping the Ukrainian people in the least.
This is only prolonging the war and it's making it more costly to Russia so that Russia feels like they are going to need to take more and more territory to compensate for the expenditure of men and money and military hardware and time and resources and everything else that goes into war.
So Russia has been put in a position where they're not going to back down And probably if there were even a call for a peace negotiation at this point, which Zelensky won't do because he's a puppet of America and the West, I mean, he likely won't do it, but maybe he'll be forced at some point.
But even if there were peace negotiations, Russia would just say, look, you're going to give us the southern half of Ukraine and all the east, all the southern, the ocean, the Black Sea, And, you know, you can have Kiev and Western Ukraine and that's it.
I mean, that's...
Why would Russia do anything different than that?
They're not going to just back off and go home and lose $300 billion that was stolen by the Western Central Banks.
Russia is going to take the territory.
They now need to make up for the $300 billion in losses.
And how are they going to do that?
Well, natural resources in Crimea.
Natural resources, minerals, natural gas in the Donbass region and the grain, the growing fields.
The best farms in Ukraine are really in the eastern portion of Ukraine and also the western portion of Russia.
That's the breadbasket of Eastern Europe.
So that's what Russia is going to hold and keep.
And there's no way that any Western nation is going to be able to kick them off of that just by sending in some old crappy tanks and anti-aircraft systems that they're trying to get rid of anyway.
Otherwise, they would be in a museum or they'd be going to the scrap pile anyway.
It's a crime against humanity to turn over this old, broke-down hardware to the Ukrainian soldiers and say, here, drive this on a suicide mission, until you get blown up by a modern Russian tank or air-to-ground missile or something.
I really feel sorry for the people of Ukraine, and I want to be clear about that.
They are suffering needlessly.
They're suffering because of the evil of the United States and NATO. That's who's making them suffer.
If it wasn't for NATO pushing for the expansion into Ukraine, Russia wouldn't be doing what it's doing now.
If it wasn't for the U.S. corrupting the Ukrainian regime and using it as an offshore biological weapons factory and money laundering and bribery kickback system, look at the Burisma payoffs to Hunter Biden and everything else.
If it wasn't for that, I mean, if Ukraine actually had its own sovereignty and had an honest president that only cared about the people of Ukraine, Ukraine could be an incredibly successful, wealthy country with peace, stability, great technology, because the Ukrainian people are very, very capable people.
Ukrainian people are some of the smartest people on the planet, and they don't deserve what's happening to them.
They're caught in the middle.
They're caught in this giant vice with Russia on one side and NATO on the other.
They're caught in this proxy war.
And it's devastating to the people of Ukraine.
It's devastating their neighborhoods, their infrastructure.
It's devastating their people.
How many tens of thousands of young Ukrainian men are now dead because of this?
And how many more We'll die until NATO finally throws in the towel and says, well, I guess there's no more soldiers.
I guess we'll have to, you know, sue for peace at some point here.
The Ukrainian people are the victims in all of this, but not for the reasons you're being told by corporate media.
The Ukrainian people are victims because of NATO and the United States.
And it's always sad to me when the people of a country like Ukraine, when the people pay the price for the corruption and arrogance of their leaders.
And by the way, I'm not saying this from afar as an American saying, oh, it's over there and that we're insulated from that.
No, no, no.
This is coming to America, folks.
America is going to suffer far worse than Ukraine.
America is headed into an economic and social collapse that will really begin accelerating in the second half of this year because of the food scarcity, the food inflation, whatever next biological weapon they're going to release, whatever kind of crisis they're going to roll out to try to cancel the midterm elections.
America is going to be in flames before the end of this year, 2022.
America might be under martial law.
America might be nuked.
Even if Ukraine isn't, Russia could launch nukes to strike targets in the United States.
And frankly, there's nothing that the US could do to stop that.
Nothing.
So as much as I pray for and feel for the innocent victims in Ukraine...
I also know that what's coming for America will be far, far worse.
America is on the verge of being reduced to a third world nation, perhaps with no functioning power grid whatsoever.
And think about what's Western Europe going to look like without gas or energy from Russia.
It's going to be a very dark place, literally, with rolling blackouts across Poland and Germany and, to some extent, affecting the UK, although not as much as Germany.
You know, France will be affected somewhat as well.
But the U.S. could be plunged into total darkness with an EMP attack, a cyber attack, a nuclear attack.
What's coming for America is going to make what's happening in Ukraine look like a picnic.
And that's because there's so much corruption in America that the rigged election was allowed to stand because the media was all in on it.
Big tech was all in on it.
The Democrats were all in.
And guess what?
They're going to suffer too.
They're going to suffer worse than everybody else because they're the ones who live in the cities that are entirely dependent on these supply chains that are going to fail.
Yeah, I wonder how well your solar panels are going to work when you're living in a nuclear winter, a post-nuke fallout scenario.
How much sunlight's going to come through on that?
Not that much.
Turns out.
Not that it will even matter, just because of the radiation.
There's a very real chance that this whole thing goes nuclear, and if anybody had any sense in Western Europe or the United States, they would back the bleep off of of Russia and stop sending weapons to Ukraine and encourage Zelensky to negotiate a peaceful resolution right now so that nobody else needs to die nobody else needs to be threatened nobody else goes hungry stop the madness now back off
from the situation and call for peace Let me give you some housekeeping updates here that I think you will appreciate.
First of all, I've posted a couple of special reports over the last two days or so that might interest you.
Number one, I posted my review of the best de-Googled mobile phone for privacy.
And you can check that out on my channel on brighteon.com.
Yeah, I bought three Android phones, de-Googled operating systems, and I tested them out, and I picked what I thought was by far the best one, which also happens to be the least expensive one, at $329.
And I gotta say, that phone is working great.
I'm pleasantly surprised.
So check that out.
And then I also posted a review of the best privacy crypto coin.
And I know I've spoken about this a little bit, but the coin is called Monero.
I don't currently own any Monero, by the way.
I have used it for transactions, but I currently don't have any.
I converted some Bitcoin to Monero, and then I moved some Monero around, and then I used Monero to buy a VPN service.
That's what I did with it.
And everything worked very, very smoothly, and it is a privacy coin.
So no one knows where it came from or who used it before you used it.
No one could trace it or track it back to your identity.
So Monero is, I think, the future of digital money.
And I should probably be careful About recommending things before I know much about the founders.
I've been burned before a couple of times.
I don't know anything about the founders of Monero, except I know through their currency, I mean through the crypto, I know at least a few things about them.
Number one, they're very smart.
Number two, they believe wholeheartedly in liberty and decentralized finance.
And they're not caving in to governments.
And this is probably why governments are going to try to attack privacy coins in the future, try to force people into the central bank digital currencies.
But until that day comes, I think everybody should become familiar with crypto and privacy coins and how they work.
And Monero is the best thing out there from what I can tell.
Just remember, I do not recommend speculation in crypto.
And I also don't believe that crypto is a place to store assets long term.
I believe in physical gold and silver.
Unless you're in a situation where you think you're going to be a war refugee or something and you need to flee and all you can carry with you is a backpack and a thumb drive, then in that case, crypto is by far better than gold and silver.
Silver is big and bulky, heavy to lug around, and if you get caught at the border with a suitcase full of silver, it's got to raise some eyebrows.
But if you just have a thumb drive, that's going to probably be totally fine.
I've also just interviewed a couple of very interesting people in my studio.
One is John Bush.
He's the creator of the, what's it called?
The ExitAndBuildLandSummit.com.
And that's coming up, I think, May, when is it?
May 14th, 15th, something in that time frame.
Happening in Central Texas, John Bush has rented out the Bastrop Texas Convention Center, and he's got a bunch of speakers coming in, and he told me that he's got like 100-plus seats available in person.
So if you want to come to Central Texas and see some amazing speakers, even Joel Skousen is going to be there in person, and what is it, Joel Salatin and Marjorie Wildcraft, a bunch of other speakers are going to be there.
I'm trying to connect with some of those speakers at my location in my studio in order to interview them separate from this, but while they're in town.
In any case, the Exit and Build Land Summit Is going to be really great if you're looking for practical solutions to get off the grid and to start building your homestead, start growing your food, start decentralizing yourself, opting out of the corrupt system, then this is a great knowledge base through this summit that John Bush is putting on.
So my interview with him, it's about an hour long.
It's coming up.
I think you'll really enjoy that.
I really enjoyed talking with him.
I think he's a great guy.
And he's also good friends with Derek Brose.
Derek Brose is a pro-Liberty guy.
I interviewed him several years ago.
I really love Derek's work, by the way.
I think he's doing great stuff.
I'd like to interview him again.
And I just got to say, these guys, pro-Liberty guys, they were right about cryptocurrency and the importance of having some crypto for mobility and privacy and all these things.
They were right about it.
I was skeptical about it for many years, but After Canada went after people's bank accounts, that was it for me.
I was like, okay, you got to go off-grid now with your money as well.
There's no other choice.
I also interviewed Dr.
Gaston, who is originally from Argentina.
He is a specialty surgeon trained in the United States, an expert in pancreatic surgery and liver surgery.
And he has become an incredible expert in medical exemptions for vaccines and mask mandates and so on.
And he has created a system, not really a system, documents and like a card.
He can consult with people individually to assess your situation and issue you a medical exemption letter with multiple citations and an identification card that you could present to your employer.
Potentially, that's usually the case or at a hospital or wherever in order to argue that, hey, I don't I don't want to get vaccines and you can't make me get vaccines.
So I've got that interview with Dr.
Gaston coming up.
I think you're going to really appreciate it.
He is a very intelligent person, also a very humble person, and he has a lot to offer humanity.
And I'm hoping to invite Dr.
Gaston back into the studio on a regular basis to talk about medical issues, especially if we go into a second pandemic, which I believe is coming.
They're probably going to release that later this year or maybe this summer, you know, in order to interfere with the midterm elections and have everybody vote by mail again.
You know, the Democrats can't win unless they cheat, right?
That's the only way.
They got to cheat.
So all they do is dream up ways to cheat.
By the way, I was recently interviewed by Wayne Allen Root.
I was on his show Monday evening.
I'm going to post the link to that, the podcast version of that.
And, you know, Wayne Allen Root, he's a great patriotic American, very well-known radio host.
He operates out of Las Vegas, and he had me on his show for the whole hour, which apparently is pretty rare.
But we were talking about the food collapse situation.
And his audience is, you know, very conservative and very much up to speed on what's happening with the food supply situation.
And he was saying that he lives in Vegas and he feels like he should have some other bug-out location, he said this on the air, where you can grow food, like Montana or something, because in Vegas there's no water.
And the reason this matters is because Wayne Allen Root is exactly correct, that Vegas has no water.
Lake Mead is, of course, at record lows, and it's not looking good for much of the western half of the United States.
And so what we are going to see, and I think that this year's food scarcity situation is really going to drive this home.
We're going to see mass migration away from much of the Western United States, at least the regions that are very, very dry, which is, you know, Nevada and Utah, Arizona, California, a lot of New Mexico and so on.
Out of those areas into either the eastern areas or the more northern regions where there's more rainfall, you know, like Oregon, Washington, eastern Washington, Idaho, and so on.
But, you know, Wyoming doesn't have much rainfall.
And, you know, look at the Dakotas, not really a lot.
Montana kind of varies, but a lot of Californians are fleeing to Montana right now.
Property prices there are pretty crazy.
I say, in terms of strategic relocation, which is what Joel Skousen is the author of a book of that title, wherever you move, make sure you can grow food.
Make sure, I mean, you got to match the culture, but you also have to be able to grow food.
And I know a lot of people that are moving to Austin, but they tend to choose West Austin if they came from California.
I've seen this in a lot of people.
They love West Austin because West Austin feels like California.
You know why?
Because West Austin has no soil and no water.
There's kind of a dividing line.
Welcome to my show!
Becomes wetter and wetter.
And so there's actual soil in Central Texas, which is where I am in Central Texas.
You have soils.
You know, we've got five or six feet of black, rich topsoil.
It's incredible.
Can you grow in five feet of topsoil?
Yes, you can.
And the history of the geology of Texas is quite fascinating.
This is all, the soil that I'm talking about in Central Texas is from rivers.
So this all washed down rivers, you know, millions of years ago and formed all this incredible soil.
But you don't have that west of Austin.
So a lot of people come to Texas, but they're moving, in my opinion, they're moving to the wrong place if they want to grow food.
Have you ever tried to plow a field if it's limestone?
It doesn't work very well.
That's what West Austin is.
You need dirt.
Now, if you keep going more and more east in Texas, it gets wetter and wetter.
You get to Houston, it's really wet, and you get to east Texas, it's even more wet, and then you're in Louisiana, and it's basically just you're living in soup all the time.
You're just living in soup because of the humidity.
So somewhere between Austin and Houston, It's actually where the ideal land is.
And that's where Dr.
Stella has her place, by the way, somewhere between Austin and Houston.
That's where she's chosen to be because she knows what's up.
It's the best place to be if you're going to grow food.
We're all going to have to learn to grow food to some extent in order to survive.
And that means you're going to need water.
Obviously, you're going to need some soil or hydroponic systems, some form of animal fertilizer, but you're going to need the climate that is sufficiently partially humid so that your plants don't use up all the water, just evaporating it through their leaves into the air.
So keep in mind, wherever you move to, make sure you're moving to a place that has a very vibrant farming community that does not depend on fossil water or deep water wells in order to achieve irrigation.
Just passing along that pointer.
And if you're moving to the Austin area, you don't want West Austin.
You want East of Austin.
Now, seriously, bring up an annual rainfall map of Texas and it'll blow your mind.
Because it goes from, you know, super extreme wet in the southeastern portion of the state to incredible high desert dryness in the northwestern portion of the state.
It's like two totally different worlds, but it's all Texas.
Now, people are migrating out of these blue cities in places like California at rates that we've never witnessed before.
And I think this is only going to accelerate, especially after the food shortages really get bad later this year.
And when we have the dollar collapse and you have the collapse of local law enforcement from defunding the police and so on, and then the civil unrest that you're going to see in many cities, A lot of people who are on the fence are just going to pack up their bags and get out of Dodge if they can.
But for some people, it's going to be too late.
I only ask one thing.
If you come to Texas or any other conservative state because you're fleeing a collapsing Democrat-run hellhole, don't bring any Democrat tendencies with you.
And when you get to Texas, make sure you buy a rifle and learn how to use it.
Make sure you take up the Texas culture, which is a culture of very polite and heavily armed people.
We are polite in Texas.
We hold doors open for ladies, for example.
We don't yell at people who just ask, what time is it?
It's not like New York.
It's time for you to go bleep yourself.
No, that's not what we are like in Texas.
We have Southern hospitality.
We are heavily armed, and that's part of what makes our society polite.
We believe in families.
We believe in healthy children.
And we believe in prosecuting pedophiles, you know, through the justice system.
We believe in homeschooling.
We believe in self-reliance.
And we believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
And if you don't believe those things, don't come to Texas or don't come to any conservative state for that matter.
Stay in your collapsing hellhole cities and go down with the Titanic that you helped create.
Seriously, if you're not interested in living a sustainable lifestyle rooted in real justice and families and Christian values, then don't come to the conservative states and smear them with your left-wing feces.
Just stay in your San Francisco hellhole and just go down with that.
Oh, you want to hate on God?
You want to hate on Christians?
You want to hate the Bible?
You want to worship Satan?
Well, guess what?
You're going to get your chance real soon here.
You're going to get your chance because you're going to be living among a bunch of demons who are all going to be feeding on each other as the whole system collapses around them.
And you'll get your chance to feed on other demons as well.
You can have your little demon buffet in your collapsing blue cities as the zombie apocalypse takes over and all of you are trying to decide who gets to live, who gets to die, and who gets dined on.
Because you're all going to turn to cannibalism.
And I say no group is more deserving of self-induced cannibalism than those who created the conditions that led to the collapse that created the cannibalism in the first place.
If you are opposed to civilization because you oppose reason and rationality and you have a problem with mathematics and physics because it's too white or whatever, you have a problem with education, you have a problem with families, then you have a problem with families, then you're part of the problem of the collapse of civilization.
So just stay right where you are.
And the rest of us will be very comforted by the fact that we're more than walking distance away from you.
When it all comes down, you probably won't be able to get any gas and your Tesla vehicles won't have any functioning charging stations.
So, you know, you're kind of limited to how far you can get on foot, which out of LA won't be that far.
And then there's always those people in California like, man, why you gotta be so negative, man?
I said, I'm not being negative for me.
I'm trying to warn you what you have created.
You people created the negativity.
You created the systems of destruction that you're living in.
Have you looked around your cities lately in LA and Seattle and Portland and San Francisco?
Have you looked around?
You created that.
I don't live there.
I didn't crap all over your streets in San Francisco.
That's a situation that you created.
You are half glass empty.
You're whole glass empty.
You are shattered glass.
I'm doing fine with the conservatives and the Christians in Texas where we have homeschooling and real families and raising healthy kids and growing some of our own food and living off the land, at least to some extent.
We're doing fine here.
I'm not concerned about us in Texas.
I'm concerned about you.
In California and New York City and Chicago and Seattle and places like that, that's who I'm concerned about, just trying to send you a little warning.
You might want to change your ways, or you're not going to make it.
When you think about these leftists, how they've lost their mind over Elon Musk buying Twitter, you know, they've just lost it, gone insane.
How are they going to handle the food supply collapsing?
How are they going to handle empty shelves or the total collapse of the rule of law in their local cities, which is gangs running all over the streets?
I mean, what do you think LA is going to turn into?
LA law enforcement can barely keep that city under control on any given day.
You take away law enforcement, which will happen in an economic collapse because government won't be able to pay government employees, such as law enforcement officers, no way to pay them.
They're not going to show up and work.
What happens in Los Angeles without law enforcement in just one day?
Oh, that's right.
It becomes a gang town.
Gangs running the whole city.
Looting and pillaging and raping at will.
And I'm not telling you the glass is going to be half empty.
I'm telling you the glass is going to be shattered all over your face if you don't get out of those places.
Sorry to be so graphic about it, but if you're still living in L.A. and listening to this, what are you waiting on?
I mean, seriously, these cities are going to collapse.
You know, I got something else to kind of reinforce this that's kind of interesting.
It involves puppies.
All right.
So you may know I adopted a puppy recently from the animal shelter.
And that's where I get dogs, by the way.
I don't go out and pay breeders because, well, for some reason dog breeding, and I'm not saying this about everybody, but for some reason dog breeding seems to attract the human scum.
Into that business where they can breed animals and sell them for $300 a pop and lie about everything.
And I've just learned over the years, man, I'm just going to go adopt a dog.
Or some people say, rescue, it's a rescue.
Well, I didn't really rescue it from a burning building or anything, but I adopted a puppy.
And as I was doing that, oh, and she's doing awesome, by the way.
She's great.
She's really amazing.
But as I was doing that, You know, I like to gather information and intel from everybody.
Whenever I'm interacting out in public, I talk to people, I ask them questions.
And I was asking questions about what it's like to work at a dog adoption or a dog shelter, you know, dog rescue type of operation.
And I was asking questions about what kind of things do people do?
People just drop off dogs at our front door and drive away.
Like, really?
And this gal was telling me, yeah, one time someone dropped off a box of puppies and hid the box between two cars in the parking lot on a hot sunny day.
And drove away because they were too ashamed to bring the box to the door.
So they hid the box and we didn't discover those puppies until maybe 8 hours, 10 hours later.
And they were still alive.
They were saved.
But they could have died through, you know, the heat exposure, lack of water, exhaustion.
And the quote that I'll remember from this conversation, because I asked a lot of questions.
She said, working here...
We'll make you lose And I thought, wow, that is a really insightful and profound quote, that working at an animal shelter will make you lose faith in humanity.
And you know why?
Because it brings out the side, the viciousness and the selfishness and the shame of humanity that people normally hide from other humans, you know, in social situations.
But when it comes to dealing with animals, since the animal can't testify against them, That dark side of their personality comes out and they'll abandon dogs.
Some people will beat dogs.
Animal abuse is a real thing.
They mistreat them.
They tie them up.
Never let them run free.
Keep them in a cage all day.
Whatever.
They mistreat them nutritionally.
Feed them rice dog food instead of the real dog food that dogs should have.
Dogs are not rice eaters, by the way.
People...
Well, some people will mistreat animals to a degree that you can't imagine.
Now, on the other side, there are many loving pet owners, and I'm one of those people.
I love animals.
I take care of them, treat them with incredible love and compassion.
And see, animals bring out the truth about who a person is.
Some people on the inside, they're caring and they're loving and they have respect for life, and they will have happy, healthy pets.
And then the other people, the darkness comes out, and they will abuse animals, and they will abandon them, and they will do incredibly insane things in terms of interacting with the dog pound, you might say, or what's it called, the adoption centers, and so on.
Now, if anybody out there thinks that in a collapse that human beings won't Become very dark and won't start robbing from each other or raping or pillaging or committing acts of violence.
Then all you need to do is go work at a dog pound as a volunteer for about a month.
You will be cured of such delusions.
Maybe in less than a month.
Seriously, just go volunteer at the dog pound.
You will have your...
Perception of humanity recalibrated, and you will realize how evil people can be.
And that's a valuable realization, not to dwell on it, but to understand that that potential is there, that the darkness is in the hearts of a great many people.
People who will often at first pretend to be loving and caring and compassionate, but then when it comes down to a choice, they will abandon another living creature or abuse that creature, and then they will hide from what they have done.
They will do that to humans as well, not just dogs and cats and whatever.
They will do it to other human beings.
So when the collapse comes, If you are not psychologically ready for the evil demons to emerge like aliens out of the chest to come out and just start taking over people and they turn incredibly evil, including, by the way, people that you've known, maybe neighbors or whatever, if you're not prepared for that, you're going to be at an extreme disadvantage because they may be trying to take your food.
They may be trying to harm you to steal your stuff.
They may be trying to Loot your house or steal your car or carjack you or whatever.
If you're not mentally prepared then you're gonna be in a lot of trouble.
And criminals are especially good at this.
When I lived in Arizona, I worked with the Tucson Police Department, TPD, and I authored a series of reports.
This was many years ago, about security and safety, and I interviewed some of the police officers that I knew there.
I served on the Tucson Police Foundation board for a couple of years.
We helped raise money for law enforcement there because they had kind of crappy gear.
You know, because the city wouldn't...
They didn't really have the budgets to get police officers good equipment.
They didn't even have ballistic vests.
They almost had no ammo, by the way.
It's just totally shocking.
They told me how much ammo they're allowed to carry or allowed to practice with.
I think it was like 50 rounds a month or something.
I'm like, 50 rounds a month?
Dude, I did that this morning.
But anyway...
I was interviewing cops about what do bad guys look for in terms of victims?
You know, if they're about to rob somebody or carjack somebody, what are they looking for?
And one of the most profound answers that I was told, and I put it in this report that we released at the time, was that they're looking for people who are gullible in terms of extending their trust.
So a lot of the real hardened criminals, they're actually very good at social manipulation.
They're very good at...
Acting like they're asking for directions or acting like their car broke down and they need help or acting like, you know, they're stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire or whatever.
Somebody stops to help them.
And I'm not saying you shouldn't help people, but you should be aware that sometimes these are traps and the hardened criminals know that they can exploit that.
They can exploit the kindness and the gullibility of other people and then rob them and get away with it because people aren't expecting it.
In fact, One of my Krav Maga instructors from many years ago, he was traveling, and he was at the Hoover Dam, actually.
And there was a motorcycle gang guy by himself that rode up on him in the parking lot.
And it turned out, and this guy, my instructor, was just sitting outside his car.
I mean, standing, but just outside his car, just taking a break from all the driving.
And this guy rides up on a motorcycle, gangbanger dude, gets off the motorcycle, walks up, pulls out a massive machete.
I mean, with no warning, no verbal, nothing, just walks up, pulls out a machete, My instructor, who's always packing heat, of course, because those are the kind of people that I train with, he pulls out his Glock, and the guy that was coming at him with a machete just shrugs his shoulders, kind of puts his hands up in the air and says, oh, my mistake, no hard feelings, buddy.
Turns around, walks away, gets on his motorcycle, drives off.
So you see, if my instructor did not have his firearm, he would have been, you know, macheted to death.
And if you don't understand that part of humanity, the dark side and how it can come out, even in peaceful times, in that case, the guy was just minding his own business in a parking lot, my instructor was.
If you don't understand that side of humanity, you're screwed for what's coming.
And if you're not packing heat, It's very unwise.
You might want to reconsider that.
You know, keep it legal, obviously.
Get good training for safety, safe handling of firearms and carry spare magazines, of course, too, by the way.
But understand that at any time, in any place, anywhere, somebody can just walk up to you and start macheting your neck or something if you let them.
Now, my instructor decided not to shoot this guy because he didn't want to deal with, you know, all the...
The police showing up and then maybe getting arrested and charged with manslaughter because the other guy only had a machete, not a gun.
But in a collapse scenario, more like a Mad Max time, when there's really no functioning rule of law, he might have made a very different decision.
He might have just decided to ventilate the guy and move on.
Don't even call 911 because maybe 911 isn't even functioning.
If you're not ready for that side of humanity, you're not ready for what's coming.
Hate to tell you, it's not a glass half empty, glass half full kind of thing.
This is a society half screwed situation is what we're talking about here.
I just think it would have been really badass if my instructor had also had like one of those Japanese katana swords that I own, you know, from Dawson Knives.
Made out of that new alloy, the MagnaCut alloy.
Can you imagine some dude walking up to you with a machete, and then you just reach behind your back, you pull out this...
Like 24-inch katana.
And you say, oh, I've been waiting for this.
Then again, you better know how to use it.
I mean, a Glock is probably a better option at that point, especially if the guy's not that close to you.
Keep him at a distance.
But a sword would have been pretty badass at that moment.
Just go full Book of Eli on him, right?
Yeah.
And then let the police clean that up later.
Yeah, we found this biker dude dead on the ground, bleeding out with no remaining forearms.
We're not sure what happened.
It's just missing forearms.
Yeah, those katanas are pretty sharp, you know.
Last comment today.
Have you seen the latest Batman movie?
You know, the most recent one's been out a couple of weeks, I guess.
Very dark, isn't it?
I think it's a reflection of society.
Did you notice that the Riddler villain in that movie, did you notice?
He reminds me of Bill Gates.
It looks just like Bill Gates.
Kind of, you know, this crazy psycho person that wants to kill a bunch of people.
I was like, wow, man, they really nailed it in this movie.
But what struck me about the movie was just how dark it was.
Even the Batman character, he didn't say much.
He was just dark and brooding through the entire movie.
And he wasn't even...
Very effective at combat.
He kept getting shot all the time, just relying on his suit to have ballistic properties against firearms.
He got shot like 50 times in the movie.
Like, that's not the Batman I remember.
The Batman we grew up with could die bullets.
What happened to that Batman?
You know, the Batman in the 1970s was a happier Batman.
He had Robin.
Who had some pretty entertaining tights going on there, or pajamas or something that he was wearing.
Very colorful little dude.
And society was better.
Even Gotham was a happier place back in the 1970s, even though it was the dystopian collapsed city of the future.
But it looked pretty darn good compared to today.
You go back to Batman from the 1970s or even 1980s, that Gotham looks better than Seattle right now in 2022.
Yeah.
That's how bad things have become.
Batman's Gotham was actually the good news compared to where we are today, seriously.
But that's my take on things, folks.
Get ready.
Some very difficult times are coming, no question about it.
Make sure that you get yourself into a location where you can be safe, where you can be far from the high-density population areas, far from the cities, and also become self-reliant.
Become self-reliant.
I should just say it five times, but...
Get off the grid and learn how to grow food.
Check out Marjorie's course, icangrowfood.com.
Watch the webinar.
Watch my videos at prepwithmike.com.
I've got a lot of food-growing videos there.
Just search Brighteon for hydroponics or gardening or whatever.
Just get into food.
You're going to need it.
Learn how to can food.
Learn how to preserve food.
Learn how to dry food.
Learn how to harvest food.
Get into food because everybody's got to eat.
And the day you stop eating, things get very difficult.
And of course, get ready for the release of my free audiobook, Resilient Prepping, coming out any day now.
I'll tell you about that here, of course.
And thank you for all your support.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for all your prayers and blessings.
And I pray for you, for your family, for your community, for your future and our shared future, because we are the survivors.
We are the rebuilders of the next society.
We are going to survive because we are willing to consider the collapse.
We are willing to go there mentally and to prepare for the worst of human civilization.
Because of that, we will be the ones who survive.
Those who are afraid to be afraid or afraid to confront reality, they won't make it.
They won't be with us.
Many of them have already committed vaccine suicide.
But those who are able to consider the darkest properties of the human psyche will be the most prepared to defend against it and to survive all of this.
And that's who we are.
We are survivors.
We are rebuilders.
We are people of faith.
We are long-term optimists, too, by the way.
We believe in the golden age for humanity.
We believe in a return to Christian principles.
We believe in the return of Christ, in fact.
So we will be here.
And it's going to be kind of a lonely place, given all those who won't be with us.
But we won't be alone.
We'll have each other.
I just mean, there's going to be a lot fewer people around than what we've been used to so far.
But we will have each other, and we'll have God on our side.
So that's all we need.
So thank you for listening.
God bless you.
Talk to you again tomorrow.
Take care.
A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
