Situation Update, May 5, 2022 - The most dangerous economic STORM in history is now upon us
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, welcome to the situation update for Thursday, May 5th.
It's 5-5-2022.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me today.
The most epic and dangerous financial storm in history is now upon us.
And that's the main thrust of today's coverage.
But we're also going to cover a lot of other things, including a little bit about abortion and COVID and vaccines and some insane news, too.
We're going to cover some insane things here just in a second.
But we're going to cover a lot of things.
A lot of events have been triggered, including the Fed raising interest rates by 50 basis points, i.e.
0.5% is what happened yesterday.
And things have been set into motion, we're going to cover them tonight, that are going to lead to this financial storm that's just biblical of what's coming.
It's just off the charts insane.
I mean, Gregory Mandarino is saying you could have up to 80% wipeout of the value of stocks.
And so anyway, we're going to analyze that and kind of give you some hints of, I think, what to look for.
Don't forget, too, I interviewed John Rubino now a couple days ago.
That's going to get posted real soon, and Rubino's got some valuable information to share on that.
Just watch for that interview on my channel on brighteon.com.
And by the way, if you're a user of Brighteon.social, we have had some glitches in the last 24 hours.
Engineers are trying to figure out what it is.
We're not sure, but we are aware that it's not working well in some regions.
It seems to be a CDN configuration switch that affects certain regions.
But anyway, we're working on it.
We'll figure it out real soon here.
Alright, let's go right to the insane news and start with that.
Remember how the left-wing media attacked Joe Rogan and everybody else who was promoting ivermectin, even though ivermectin works extremely well to prevent COVID or even treat COVID? And, you know,
there's a lot of published science on the effectiveness of ivermectin to the point where even I take ivermectin now once a week just as prevention for whatever I might pick up being around other people or being in public, things like that.
Well, the corporate media and the radical left, of course, they made fun of taking horse dewormer.
You should instead, you know, commit ventilator suicide in a hospital, or you should take vaccines, even though, have you noticed how many vaccinated people are sick and dead now?
Have you noticed that?
Really accelerating out there.
Well, now, the left-wing publication Vice News says that it's okay to take horse pills as long as it's for a do-it-yourself abortion.
That's right.
They've been talking about how you can take this ulcer medicine.
It's used to treat ulcers in horses.
And it's called misoprostol.
And they're advocating the use of this for DIY abortions, you know, in the wake of the possibility that Roe versus Wade is going to be struck down.
I mean, these left-wing lunatics are just really panicked about not having access to some way to kill their baby.
Do they realize that they're still going to be able to get abortions in most places or to travel to someplace to get abortions?
Do they know that?
I mean...
I mean, they don't have to lose their minds and panic.
If it's so important to them to be able to kill their unborn baby, don't worry.
There will be abortion sanctuary states like California, and you can just go to California and you can kill your baby there.
And Canada, I think the health minister of Canada has said, well, you're all welcome to come to Canada and kill your babies here, too.
And we might loot your bank accounts while you're in Canada because that's a Canadian government thing.
But there are going to be plenty of states.
I mean, Washington State, Oregon, California, New York, probably Colorado, probably Illinois.
Plenty of states you can go have your baby murdered.
You don't have to resort to do-it-yourself horse pills, but that's the talking point now in the left-wing media.
So in other words, the position of the left is that it's not okay to take veterinary medicine to prevent COVID and save your life.
But it's perfectly okay to use veterinary medicine to kill your unborn child.
Then it's completely justifiable.
I mean, now it's achieving a goal that's important to the left.
You know, gotta murder the babies.
Take the medicine, damn it.
Swallow the pills.
I can just see the left.
Like, do-it-yourself abortion, you know, how-to videos.
That'll be perfectly allowed on YouTube.
But you can't have a video that talks about how to use CBD extracts from cannabis to treat cancer.
No, no, no.
You can't do that.
Anything positive for humanity is banned and censored and it's just labeled now disinformation.
While anything that's murderous and deadly and causes pain and suffering and death, well, that's perfectly okay.
Have you noticed that?
Now, moving on, leftists are so completely insane about their desire for abortion that Joy Behar from The View, you know, the TV show for kind of low IQ masses of sheeple and so on.
Joy Behar has announced that she's going on a sex strike.
That's right.
She's going on a sex strike.
No more sex from Joy Behar.
She's the only woman probably who could announce a sex strike and then immediately all the men in the world go collectively, oh, thank God.
It's like, thank God there's no longer even a possibility of having sex with Joy Behar.
She's the only woman in the world who announces a sex strike and there's no net difference in the quantity of sex taking place.
I mean, Do we have to say the obvious or is it too rude to say that, girl, no one want to have sex with you in the first place?
I mean, you could take a guy that's been in prison for 15 years on death row, hasn't had sex the whole time, and you could see Joy Behar walking into that prison system and say, oh, honey, you want some?
And even the prisoner on death row would say, oh, hell no.
I would rather die and go to hell.
That's how crazy it is.
And if you press him on, he's like, oh no, honey, we can do it right here, right now, in your jail cell.
He'd probably be like ringing the buzzer, warden, warden, come in, I'm dropping all my appeals, put me in the electric chair right now.
It's that bad.
Just a word to the wise, if you're going to call for a sex strike, you first got to have sex that somebody wants.
It's supply and demand basic economics.
Do I have to explain this?
Now the Levi Strauss company, yeah, the one that makes the Levi's, the blue jeans, is joining Amazon.com in funding transportation expenses for employees who need to go to abortion sanctuary states in order to have abortions.
So this is going to be now corporate-funded abortion tourism.
Can you imagine?
You thought Disney was crazy and evil with all the child grooming at the Magical Kingdom.
Well, these corporations like Amazon and Levi, they're going to pay for their own employees to go have abortions.
So how much you want to bet that their employees start getting pregnant on purpose so they can have a company-paid, quote, abortion vacation to California or some other state?
I mean, that's what it's going to be.
Abortion tourism, abortion vacations.
They're going to get knocked up somewhere and say, oh, I'm pregnant, and then pay me $4,000.
I'm going to take a vacation and go take care of this unborn child.
Which even Joe Biden said, by the way, that abortion eliminates a child.
Use the word child.
I mean, he's acknowledging that it's murder.
But this is going to get very interesting to start making a list of all the corporations, you know, that are funding abortion vacations.
Because you don't want to go buy a pair of blue jeans thinking that, hey, some of this money is going to pay to murder a human child.
Or, you know, Amazon.com is doing this now, too.
At least they've announced it.
So it makes you wonder, you know, is it moral to shop at Amazon.com if they profit off your purchase and then use that to fund an abortion?
Or I guess for that matter, is it moral to pay taxes in a state like California that is going to fund abortions?
See, there is another question for you.
Do you have a moral obligation now to leave the state of California?
Because I know that many of you listening to this are currently in the state of California, and I know most of you are outside the crazy cities.
You might be in rural California or northern California, some nice areas and so on, but The government regime under which you exist is extracting money from you and then turning around and using that to fund baby murder.
So it brings up important ethical questions, right?
Is it now imperative to leave the state of California?
But then again, there's also federal funding for, quote, women's health services.
And remember how the left suddenly has rediscovered the concept of women.
You know, suddenly women matter again.
The same women they've been trying to destroy for the last five years.
Suddenly, women are important when it comes to abortion rights.
And when they want to murder babies, they're all about women now all of a sudden, right?
But not when it comes to transgenders competing against women on the women's swimming team, even in MMA and wrestling teams and volleyball, whatever.
But the question remains, is it unethical to pay taxes to a government?
That uses taxes in order to mass murder human babies.
And by the way, there's another thought in all of this that I did not bring up yesterday, but I want to mention it today.
Do you realize that, okay, so it's mostly liberals and leftists who are carrying out abortions, right?
And now if you could sort of turn the clock forward, just kind of fast forward in time, if those abortions did not happen, And those children were born.
And those children grew up living in mostly liberal areas, liberal cities with liberal parents.
You realize that most of those children would be liberals, right?
We're talking about lots and lots of Democrats and liberals that would grow up if they weren't murdered by liberals.
So the shocking truth about all of this is that through demanding abortions and carrying out abortions, liberals are murdering tomorrow's liberals.
In other words, liberals are killing themselves.
They're killing their own group.
It's kind of, I don't know, like a demographic suicide cult or something, which is very fitting with what the left believes because most of them have taken the clot shot, which is also another kind of depopulation death cult.
And a whole lot of them believe in cutting off their genitals too, which makes it very difficult to have children, by the way.
I don't know if you knew that.
It's a physiological fact.
I mean, the fact checkers might deny it.
But if you cut off your penis and you cut off your scrotum, you're not going to be able to probably produce sperm and be a father or a mother or a birthing parent or whatever they claim that you could be now.
And you know how twisted this gets now.
They claim men can give birth through their penis, which is beyond insane.
So, the question is, what's going to happen to the population?
I mean, think about if Roe versus Wade gets overturned, which seems somewhat likely.
What's going to happen to the population of leftists?
I mean, they're cutting off their genitals.
They're doing genitalia mutilation of their own children, by the way.
They're then going to murder their children in their abortion sanctuary states, like California and Illinois and New York and wherever.
And then they're also pushing a lot of gay relationships or lesbian relationships, which by definition cannot produce children because you need one male and one female.
Did you know that?
You need one male and one female to have children.
And it comes down to some simple biology and chromosomes XX versus XY. You gotta have one male and one female.
And it doesn't work with two males or two females.
Or a male with a genitalia chopped off.
Or a female that's had everything surgically removed to try to create a fake penis or whatever.
You get the point.
They can't have children.
And on top of that, the vaccines cause infertility.
So when I say that these leftists are part of a death cult, I'm not exaggerating.
They are killing themselves off as quickly as possible.
And when they demand the, quote, right to abort their unborn babies, realize they are aborting future liberals.
So the more abortions they carry out, and they love it, and they're keeping count and bragging about it, like, I've had 20 abortions!
You know, you've seen some of these lunatics on TikTok and elsewhere, the compilations of the abortion advocates.
They're bragging about it.
The more abortions they have, the lower the population of their demographic becomes.
And, folks, I think this is what terrifies them.
I was wondering, why are they so freaked out and afraid Of abortion not being legal in some areas, but still being perfectly legal in other areas that they could travel to if they wanted to have abortions.
What are they so freaked out about?
And I think that at some level, deep in the dark, twisted hearts of these demonically infested creatures, I think that at some level, they realize they're going extinct.
They are exterminating themselves.
And it's fearful when they realize that.
And their lifestyles and their choices and their murderous ways and their genitalia mutilation, everything else, infertility clot shots, you name it, that it's their choices that are making them extinct.
And you know, there's a name for an award that describes this kind of behavior.
It's called the Darwin Award.
You've heard of it.
And it's granted to those who remove themselves from the human gene pool, perhaps deservedly so.
That's the Darwin Award.
And there's no faster way to remove your genetic code from the gene pool than to keep murdering your own offspring, which is exactly what these people are doing.
So, yeah, they're winning the Darwin Award every day.
It's almost like they all were surfing on the web and they ran across this intrusive ad that said, eliminate your gene pool from the human race with this one weird trick.
It's called abortion tourism.
He says, go to California and murder your children so that you have no future children.
And they're like, yeah, let's sign up for that.
These people...
So you understand why, even though I am, of course, philosophically opposed to abortion, the fact that certain abortion tourism states like California are going to remain abortion factories, that's their choice, and there's probably no way that we're going to stop them from doing that because that's the way they want to live and die.
Well, how to say this delicately, it's not the worst thing in the world that there's going to be a place for abortion The worst people in the world to go to remove themselves from the human gene pool.
Let's just put it that way.
You know, they're going to have options for how to commit genetic suicide.
And that's their choice.
They want to do that.
That's on them, not on us.
See, the abortion leftists in America should pay attention, learn something from the Hispanic population.
You know, the Latinos and Latinas, sometimes they can get started at a pretty young age with pregnancy, right?
You've seen this.
I've seen this.
I used to live in South America, and not unusual to see a 14-year-old girl or maybe a 15-year-old girl right after the quinceanera, you know, pregnant.
They don't do a lot of abortions there in Central and South America and even in Mexico.
And a lot of countries around the world don't allow abortions.
And even the culture doesn't celebrate them by any means.
So the Latinas that get pregnant, they go ahead and carry it.
They become a young mom at 15, 16 years old or whatever.
Not saying that that's a great economic decision, but in terms of the demographics, well, guess what?
The Latinas and Latinos in the world are becoming more numerous while the radical pro-abortion libtards in America are killing themselves off.
So it's not difficult to kind of project this and see where it's going, is it?
I mean, just by sheer numbers, whatever culture is opposed to abortion will probably do pretty well in terms of occupying our world with just more population.
Whereas those who are pro-abortion will, you know, remove themselves from the future of the world.
Cause and effect.
If you want to have a family tree, stop taking a chainsaw to the tree.
You know what I mean?
Very simple.
And yes, I'm going to move on here into the finance topic.
I must say, the future of human civilization will be inherited by those who can reproduce.
And that should be a simple, irrefutable fact that, of course, the insane left-wing fact-checkers would argue with.
But it's obvious, isn't it?
In order to continue to survive as a civilization, we have to have children.
And we have to have children who are fertile, right?
And in order to have children, we have to have a man and a woman with their reproductive organs intact and functioning.
And without that, I mean, because that's the cycle of the next generation, the next generation.
That's how we got here, because we come from a long line of men and women who got together and had children that survived, and that's why we're here.
And now this chain of human history that's gone through who knows how many tens of thousands of generations or however long we've been here, This chain is now being broken by the radical left and their vaccines and their abortions and their infertility chemicals in the food supply and their suicide cults.
So all of human history comes to this point and this point is the breaking of the chain for so-called progressives and liberals and leftists who have lost their freaking minds anyway and On every issue,
you know, imaginary, delusional, gender, whatever fairy tales they're living in, and they are going to eliminate themselves from the future of the human race, by definition, because they are incapable of having a man and a woman create a healthy child.
They're incapable of it.
In fact, they hate the idea of mothers.
They hate mothers.
They hate the idea of women.
And they also hate men, too, which is weird at the same time.
They hate men and they hate women.
They only love men who are pretending to be women, which is transgender women.
You know, fakers.
That's who they love.
You know, with the chemical castration and the surgeries and everything else, but they hate actual men and actual women.
And because they're working to murder so many children, they hate children, too.
So you think about leftists, you wonder why they do not have a sustainable model for civilization.
It's they hate men, they hate women, and they hate children.
I mean, who else is left for them to hate?
Oh, they hate God, too, on top of that.
Yes, their hatred extends to God.
So what do they have left?
Nothing.
They have no future.
They have no faith.
They have no souls, at least no prospects for their souls in the long run.
They have nothing except their hatred, but they're going to use that until the day they die.
You know, Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Or, as I say, Waron, as in Elizabeth Waron Children.
I think that should be her nickname.
Elizabeth Waron Children, instead of Pocahontas.
She just loves the idea of murdering as many babies as possible.
But, you know, we recognize that mothers are real.
In fact, Mother's Day is coming up.
And so we even have a Mother's Day sale event at the Health Ranger store.
Might as well mention it now since we're talking about mothers.
And we're not afraid to say Mother's Day, you see.
In fact, check out our healthrangerstore.com website.
And we've got all the amazing graphics and designs.
It's all about moms and mothers.
And it's got all the feminine colors and everything.
I know the leftists are going to be totally enraged.
How dare you say there's mothers?
Well, there are moms.
And in fact, you came from one.
And if you don't realize that there's something wrong with your head, you should get examined at a psychiatric center.
You came from a mother.
Every single one of you, every leftist, even if they hate women, they came from a woman.
By definition, they were not born from a man.
They came from a woman.
So we have the Mother's Day sale.
We've got a thousand Ranger buckets back in stock.
It's not the normal number we have, but we didn't have enough time to get thousands of sets available.
We got 1,000 sets of the certified organic lab-tested storable food, Ranger buckets they're called.
Those will go very quickly.
We're giving away free colloidal silver extra-strength spray for any order over $195, and it's free shipping for any orders over $99 in the contiguous 48 states.
With apologies to those in Alaska and Hawaii, but you're used to that, right?
You're used to paying much higher shipping rates, sad to say.
That's just a fact of life if you're living there.
But we are happy to serve moms as our customers.
We are happy to ship our products to moms.
We honor moms.
To all the moms out there, thank you for not aborting your babies.
Thank you for protecting your children.
And to all the moms of all of us listening, thank you for not aborting us.
Because otherwise we wouldn't be here, right?
And this is also a question that we have to ask the pro-abortion leftists.
Like, if your mom was pro-abortion, you wouldn't be here.
So by definition, you came from a mom who did not abort you.
Did you think about that?
What if your mom had taken away your right to life and had murdered you before you were born?
Wouldn't that be a violation of your right to live?
Wouldn't it be a violation of your choice, of your body?
And there's one more thing about this, and I'll move on.
But when a woman is pregnant, there are two conscious beings at play.
There's the woman...
The mother to be.
And then there's the child, who is an individually conscious being.
A human being with his or her own emotions and memories, experiences, and perceptions.
So there are two beings that are relevant to what's going on.
Two beings.
So if you say that the mother...
That it's her body, her choice.
That choice matters because you're pro-choice.
What about the choice of the other being?
What about the choice of the child?
You're taking away that child's choice, aren't you?
And that's something that the left will never acknowledge.
They will never acknowledge that an unborn child has consciousness because they will never acknowledge that life matters, that life is real, that consciousness is real.
Because if they do that, then they can't live with themselves because they realize that they are murderers.
So what if abortion is the choice of the mother, but life is the choice of the child?
Well, we have no way to ask the child, so we can't determine what a child would choose, but we can presume that the child wants to live because that is the core impulse of all life.
Every form of life on our planet, every animal, every plant, even fungi and mold spores, single-celled organisms, microalgae, you name it, even bacteria, they all share one trait, and that is the desire to live, the desire to survive.
So we can safely assume the child wishes to survive.
The child is not choosing death.
So every abortionist is taking away the choice of a sentient being.
And they're taking away the choice of life from a child that wants to live.
So abortion is not a choice.
It's a homicide.
And those who advocate abortion, they don't recognize the value of life in anyone other than themselves.
They express the ultimate selfishness, the ultimate wiping away of empathy.
They are the opposite of empathy.
Because they care nothing about the lives and the feelings and the experiences of others, not even those who are their own blood.
Isn't that amazing?
And this explains why abortionists are so violent and so angry towards others that aren't even their own children or family members.
They will kill you just like that if it gets them what they want, because they don't value any life at all except their own selfish choices.
Alright, let's get started into the financial news because the most epic and dangerous financial storm in history is now upon us.
So as you probably heard, the Fed has raised interest rates by 50 basis points, which is 0.5%.
And as CNBC points out, it's the largest rate hike in two decades, and the Fed is doing this to fight inflation.
So inflation, of course, stemming from money printing, that is the cause of inflation, the primary and overwhelming cause, money printing.
Inflation is, if you believe official sources, it's somewhere around, what, 9% or something?
But of course, that's a lie.
It's really...
I mean, just look around.
Ask yourself, how much more are you paying now versus a year ago for groceries, for gasoline, for vehicles, for housing, and so on and so forth, the things that you need?
And the answer for most people, for most of the things that you need...
Is that inflation is easily somewhere between 15% and 25%.
And that's on an annual basis.
Now, remember that food, we saw this report from the FAO of the United Nations, and food is increasing.
At least the March report showed that it was increasing at 12.6% month over month.
Yeah, that's over 12% per month increase in food prices.
Not per year, per month.
And of course, if you do the math on that, you know that 12% per month will double food prices in six months, you know, because it compounds, obviously.
And then they'll double again in another six months.
So real inflation is easily, you know, like I said, 15 to 25%.
And yet the Fed has raised interest rates half a percent.
So the 10-year treasuries right now are at right around 3%.
They're probably going to bump up following that rate raise by the Fed.
So let's just say, although this is just a guess, let's say that 10-year treasuries go to 3.5%.
Now remember that interest rates are the cost of money.
And when interest rates are low, then it costs a lot less, or in some cases, it costs nothing to borrow.
And so debt creation becomes essentially free when interest rates are zero.
Whereas when interest rates are high, debt creation is expensive, money is expensive, and then people begin to contract their leverage and they avoid taking on new debt or making new investments through debt in their businesses and so on.
So higher interest rates are a contraction of the economy.
A rate raise of 0.5% will have no effect at bringing down inflation, or virtually no effect.
It might be minuscule, but it's virtually nothing because inflation is so much higher, you know, 20% or thereabouts.
But raising rates 0.5% will have a huge impact on the housing market.
The housing market is now on the verge of bursting.
And as John Rubino told me in an interview that's about to be posted, he says that when the 10-year Treasury go to 4%, and we're getting very close to that now, he said essentially it's over.
It's over for the stock market.
It's over for assets.
It's over for all the bubbles.
And if you listen to people like Gregory Manorino say, I've come to really like Gregory Manorino.
I really appreciate his forthrightness and his kind of blunt but somewhat hilarious style of presenting information.
I think he's really great.
He's fun to listen to as well.
Well, Gregory Manorino, somebody's been posting his videos on Brighton.
I don't know if it's him or somebody else.
I don't know.
But that's where I see his videos.
And he's talking about the coming plunge of potentially up to 80% in the stock market.
But he's also talking about the bursting of the bubbles of bonds and, of course, the plummeting of the value of treasuries, real estate.
And then along with that, you're going to have pensions imploding as well because, of course, pensions are invested in all those other assets.
And I think Manorino is correct about those things.
Now, he also knows that the market can keep going up, up, up as long as the Fed is printing, and that the market will look strong until the day it crashes.
And when it crashes, it's over.
The music stops and you can't get out.
Everybody panics and everything's shut down and you're just stuck and you're just losing up to 80% of your assets.
Just boom, like that.
This is why I tell people, get out of dollars and get into things that will not lose value.
Things like physical gold, physical silver.
Land and so on.
But right now, real estate prices are so crazy high that it's hard to justify going into real estate.
About the only asset that is suppressed in price right now is really precious metals, gold and silver.
That's the only good deal in the market right now.
As far as I can see, it's the only good deal.
Even collectibles are really expensive.
Collectible guns, collectible stamps, collectible fine art.
It's all crazy expensive at this point.
Not that I would know what fine art is.
I joke about myself that way.
I could never be a fine art collector, you know, because I would go to some auction and they would say, this piece here is $7 million, and they would show me this mess on a canvas.
I'm like, hey, my puppy can do that by vomiting.
On a canvas, by the way.
I just take a canvas and let my puppy vomit on it, and I can have the exact same art as what you're selling for $7 million.
So you're not impressing me, by the way.
And if I had $7 million to spend on something, I'd rather have $7 million of gold and ammo, frankly, because I think that's more useful than your silly, crazy little spilled paint canvas art piece, whatever.
But that's just my personal opinion.
I could go to the zoo with a canvas and have a gorilla throw feces in my direction and produce better art than what you have here.
But you get my point.
So if you've been monitoring the news over the last few days, the economic news, you know, CNBC would be one of the more corporate mainstream finance news sites out there.
You'll notice that foreclosures are surging.
That's right.
People can't afford the loans they've taken out on their homes and pieces of property and so on.
And of course...
A lot of people took out variable interest rate loans for some reason, even when interest rates were crazy low for the past few years, during the Trump years, basically, when you could actually get a loan that was dirt, dirt cheap.
I think you could get loans that were in the 3% range or something.
And yet people, they wanted to save half a point, so they went with the variable rates, and then of course as interest rates rise, those variable loans suddenly become very, very expensive.
And then trying to service the debt on new loans becomes crazy expensive.
And with the fact that housing and land are so inflated all across America right now, you know, crazy insane prices.
And I've seen it in Texas, too.
I've seen 500% increases in the cost of acreage in Central Texas in just the past few years.
Well, because of that, and now with interest rates rising, People can't afford...
I mean, they can't even qualify for the loans that they would need in order to finance these properties.
Because you know how the banks do this.
They kind of pre-qualify you for how much of a loan you can take out if you want to buy a million-dollar piece of property, let's say.
And then you give the bank your income.
And then they do the math on, let's say, a 30-year mortgage on that property.
And based on the interest rate that you can get at that time, here's what your monthly mortgage payment is going to be.
And then they calculate what percentage of your discretionary income that payment is, right?
And if it's too high, they're like, no, you can't have this loan.
Well, the cost of all loans in America, including real estate loans, just went significantly higher as of yesterday because of what the Fed did.
All the loans just went up at least 0.5%.
And the Fed isn't finished, of course.
They're going to meet again real soon, maybe in just a month or so.
They can also hold emergency meetings, and they can raise rates again.
And they probably will.
So you might wonder, why did the market go up yesterday?
Because the market was anticipating the Fed raising interest rates by 0.75%, which would have really clobbered the markets.
So when the Fed only raised at 0.5%, the market celebrated and pushed stock prices even higher, making the bubble even worse.
So we're way beyond the point of rationality here.
We're way beyond anything that makes economic sense.
We are running on delusions and fairy tales, both in our culture and in our economics and financial sectors.
But reality is going to hit and it's going to suck badly.
And reality just struck with the report of the U.S. economy, the GDP shrinking by 0.4% in the first quarter of this year.
Shrinking.
Didn't grow at all.
It didn't even grow at 1%.
It shrank minus 0.4%.
You know why?
Because the economy is cratering.
That's why And most of the purchasing that's happening is people trying to flee the dollar as quickly as possible.
But look at what's breaking down.
The supply chain is breaking down.
Supplies of energy are breaking down.
Supplies of fertilizer are breaking down.
Farmers are not able to plant their crops.
At least not the quantity that they need to.
We're going to have food scarcity in the second half of this year that's going to make many Americans just totally lose their cool and panic.
Total panic coming in some areas.
Here's a headline.
U.S. East Coast diesel stockpiles hit record low as fuel prices surge.
That's right.
You didn't know there were diesel stockpiles, did you?
Well, they're almost gone now because they're being tapped into because diesel is, of course, record high, as we talked about yesterday.
And then, you know, I listened to a lot of videos on Bright Young.
So whenever I'm doing something during the day, doing dishes, doing laundry, raking out the chicken house, working on my tractor, whatever I'm doing that I'm away from my computer, I'm always listening to brighttown.com videos.
And there was a video there from a channel called Liberty and Finance, and it was an interview with Andy Sheckman, and he's the CEO of Miles Franklin.
And Man, this guy gets it.
This was a really great interview.
You know what?
I should put a link in the article about this so you can hear this.
But Andy Sheckman, who I've invited, by the way, for an interview, and we've already scheduled that.
Andy Sheckman talks about the scenario that's coming, which is the global repudiation of the dollar.
Which he believes will happen primarily from the BRICS nations.
You know, what?
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and what's the S? Is that South Africa?
BRICS nations?
I think it is.
Anyway, the BRICS nations are probably, at least as Shekman describes it, are probably working on a gold-backed, blockchain-based digital currency.
That will become the new world reserve currency.
It will displace the dollar.
The petrodollar is about to become history.
And the BRICS nations, who have been stockpiling gold like mad, and by the way, building their own economic systems, like between Russia and China, and India and China, and Russia and India, and you get the idea.
These nations are going to launch their own gold-backed digital currency, and it's going to happen in just one day that people wake up and realize the dollar is over.
The dollar is done.
And as Sheckman says, this isn't going to happen gradually.
It's not going to be some slow erosion of the dollar.
He describes it as something that will happen in one day.
And then all these dollars will come flooding back to the United States because everybody around the world is just selling them.
It's like, get rid of dollars!
And get rid of dollar-denominated debt, too.
Just selling treasuries like mad and dumping dollars like mad because who needs them anymore?
And by the way, the world is sick and tired of the U.S. bullying dollar BS. I want to use profanity here, but I'm not going to.
The world is tired of it.
The weaponized dollar...
Being used to bludgeon countries that the U.S. doesn't like?
Nobody wants that.
You know, the U.S. had the greatest leverage in the world, the greatest advantage with the reserve currency.
You know what power comes with that?
I mean, advantage or dare we say privilege?
You know, when you have currency privilege, when your currency is the world's reserve currency, and that's what America had, and America, well, America's corrupt leaders have destroyed that now, which really comes back to Obama and Biden, by the way.
They've destroyed it.
The world no longer trusts the dollar.
The world doesn't want the dollar, and they don't want all the baggage that comes with the dollar.
Because the world watched America steal $300 billion.
Well, not just America, but NATO as well.
The central banks of NATO and the USA stole $300 billion, essentially, of currency reserves from Russia.
And you better believe that got the attention of India and China and Brazil and all the other nations around the world.
Like, whoa!
Better not be holding dollars, because if the incompetent, senile, fake President Biden suddenly doesn't like you one day, it just sees all your assets and lock you out of the SWIFT system, and you can't do jack.
Your economy is destroyed if you're a smaller country.
Now, Russia's been able to weather the storm, but a lot of smaller countries could not.
So you can believe that everywhere around the world, all these countries are looking at getting away from the dollar as quickly as possible.
You are seeing mass migration away from the dollar.
And as Sheckman says, there's going to be a day, and I think he's right.
In fact, I've covered this before, something called Operation Sandman.
Remember that?
Operation Sandman is a secret agreement among over 100 nations Who all need to buy energy, including oil from Saudi Arabia, which is where this name comes from because of the sand, and that all these countries are going to announce on one day that they're dropping the dollar.
And on that day, not only does the dollar become near worthless on global markets, but Then all these dollars come flooding back into the U.S. economy because, again, everybody's getting rid of them.
Suddenly you have a flood of currency in the U.S. You're going to have way more inflation.
And then for the U.S. to import anything, it's going to cost insane amounts of dollars because dollars are just plummeting in value.
So imported goods could go up in price by 1,000%.
No joke.
And that might only be the beginning, by the way, because at this point you're talking about a wholesale currency collapse taking place.
And anything denominated in dollars, the value, I mean, some things are going to look like they're going up in value in dollars, like, let's say, gold.
It might be $10,000 an ounce, but then again, the dollar is going down in value so rapidly that the $10,000 doesn't mean anything.
Or like Bitcoin might look like it's going on.
Bitcoin could go to a million dollars a coin, but what does that mean?
If the dollar is not worth anything, then what is a million dollars worth?
Hardly anything, right?
Right.
So the dollar is going to very quickly go away in this scenario, and I believe this is going to happen.
Don't know when exactly, but it's going to happen.
And then people are going to be just wiped out, just destroyed.
Who have their holdings in dollars and dollar-denominated assets.
Now, who's going to end up surviving this?
Very clear.
People who have assets outside of dollars.
So people who have physical gold and silver, maybe some forms of crypto might be a safe haven as well.
I would certainly rather be in crypto than dollars.
But I'd also rather be in gold than crypto, you see.
But hey, having a diverse portfolio is a pretty smart thing these days.
So look at all the options.
And by the way, do what's right for you.
I'm not your financial advisor.
And don't take this as financial advice because your situation may be different from mine.
But do your research and figure out where you have risk that is unacknowledged.
And remember that most of the financial investors out there, you know, the traditional investors that work for the investment banks, I mean, they're such boring creatures.
They're just like, just cost average in, just keep buying forever.
It's going to go up forever.
Nothing's ever gone down ever.
And you're like, do you remember 2008?
By the way, you moron.
Do you remember the subprime mortgage collapse, huh?
You remember the dot-com collapse?
Yeah, that's nothing compared to what's coming now.
In my opinion, I don't listen to conventional investors because...
They're wrong when it matters the most.
You can be right all the way up during the bubble getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
I mean, anybody can be right.
A monkey can be right.
You know, monkeys throwing darts or like my puppy vomiting on a paint canvas.
Yeah, it looks right.
Everything's right when it's going up.
But when bubbles burst and it all comes down, then the masses are wrong.
The sheeple are wrong.
The herd has jumped off the edge of the cliff because they couldn't stop the momentum or the stupidity of what they were doing.
When bubbles burst, it takes a very intelligent and courageous counterculture type of person to make the right decision.
And isn't that cool?
Because that's the advantage that you and I have, you listening to this.
If you are listening to this, you're a counterculture person.
You're not a sheeple, by definition, or you wouldn't have listened this far already.
You're not in the herd.
You're not a sheeple.
You're not oblivious.
You are not only well-informed, you are, in fact, by definition, skeptical of anything that a group is doing.
If there were a club out there called the Nonconformist Club, and they offered you, here, come join a nonconformist club.
First of all, you would have to say, I'm not joining a nonconformist club, because that would be conforming.
And then secondly, as Groucho Marx said, I would never be a member of any organization that would have me as a member, right?
So you would say no.
And that's the right answer.
You're going to have to move against the herd in order to save your assets.
Literally.
And you're already well prepared for that because you have knowledge that most people do not have.
All right, now there's more to this.
Now, India has stunned the market.
And Zero Hedge covered this.
A surprise rate hike, an unscheduled meeting.
So India raised its central bank interest rates in a rate hike that just blew everybody out of the water.
Like, whoa, what just happened?
Totally unexpected.
So you see that inflation is hitting many countries around the world.
And you know the fact there's civil unrest in Sri Lanka.
They've already defaulted on dollar-denominated debt, dollar bonds that they owe to other countries.
And in India, of course, prices of food and other basic commodities are rising substantially.
And, you know, India is a very large country.
I don't recall the exact population, but I think it's, what is it, a little over a billion people now in India?
Let me check this.
Okay, wow.
1.3 billion.
No, no, wait.
1.4 billion.
Gosh, those people have been busy.
1.4 billion.
Okay, a lot more than I remembered.
Population's going up, so they all need food.
Food's becoming scarce, and food's becoming expensive, and energy's becoming expensive, and so on.
Most of the people who live in India live in poverty, which means their marginal income or how to say this.
The discretionary income they have available additionally to pay for marginal increases in cost of living, such as food, is very, very slim for people who live near poverty.
So they can barely afford a 10% increase in the price of food without facing real scarcity, calorie deprivation, famine, in other words, which leads to social unrest and revolts and all that good stuff.
So India, wow, 1.4 billion people.
I didn't realize that.
And you know, the vaccine depopulation weapons didn't work in India because the government of India, at least in some regions, they were handing out ivermectin pills and zinc and vitamin D, just saving everybody's life, you know?
Man, that must have pissed off the globalists.
Like, we tried to kill all these Indian people and they discovered supplements.
It's like, we tried so hard!
And you know, by the way, that the number one cause of polio in India is Bill Gates' polio vaccine.
And we actually did a story on this a couple weeks ago that I think Bill Gates, one of his organizations, is rolling out a vaccine to treat vaccine-induced polio.
So they actually have a vaccine for the disease caused by the previous vaccine, and it is a depopulation weapon in India.
India is one of the main targets for globalist depopulation, in addition to, of course, Nigeria, which is rising in population quite dramatically.
In any case, so India is getting hit with inflation, as are, frankly, Middle Eastern countries and African nations, every country.
Food and energy are more expensive everywhere.
So central banks around the world are going to start raising rates to try to fight inflation.
But this is going to have the same effect in countries like India as it will have in America as they raise rates.
They're going to crush their own domestic economies.
They're going to crush their real estate.
They're going to crush their business expansion, right, for all the reasons we've talked about here.
If the cost of new money is higher, then people won't seek out loans and there won't be as much leveraging and, you know, economies contract.
I mean, Almost everything that happens in an economy happens based on debt.
Every business, every farm, every transportation company, every retailer is only able to operate because of debt.
They don't usually have all the money up front to buy a quarter of a million-dollar tractor or a multimillion-dollar farm or long-haul trucking, a rig for highway trucking, or to buy, to pay for cash for a grocery store being constructed.
No, it's all based on debt.
It's loans, loans, loans.
And when the cost of those loans goes higher, everything contracts.
And as interest rates are rising, they're going to be crashing on the economies.
Well, Bloomberg had an article yesterday, U.S. trade deficit swells to record.
And then they add, as goods imports surge.
So we're in, I mean, the trade deficit of America, which of course is the difference between how much we export versus how much we import, it is catastrophic.
It's just catastrophic.
America is not producing and exporting hardly, well, hardly anything.
I mean, I know we export a lot of agricultural products typically, and America has sold a lot of ag to China, such as big corn contracts, you know, not that long ago.
But by and large, America is not manufacturing and exporting very much.
And so the GDP of America is based a lot on imports of goods from other countries.
But what's interesting about this new trade deficit number, which is absolutely catastrophic, it widened to $109.8 billion in March.
So in one month, America bought or imported almost $110 billion more worth of goods than what America exported.
And that's how a nation goes into financial collapse.
If you keep just sending your money overseas because you're importing everything from somewhere else, but you're not making anything really domestically and you have these horrific trade deficits, then obviously you're going to have horrific debt.
And the answer from the US is just keep printing more money.
Well, that's not going to work for much longer, you see.
So the gap between imports and exports was about $110 billion.
But the import number alone, if you just look at imports, it was almost $300 billion in one month.
And what struck me as really shocking is that petroleum imports were $24.8 billion in one month.
Now remember that under Trump, we were a net exporter of energy because we were energy independent.
But the very first thing that fake Joe Biden did when he took possession of the fake Oval Office and started his fake signing of all of the fake executive orders is he shut down pipelines and drilling and oil and energy in America in every possible way.
So now we are a net importer of petroleum.
$25 billion a month now.
A month.
And that adds, of course, to the trade deficit.
It's a significant part of it.
It's about a quarter, nearly a quarter, of the trade deficit gap, which is $110 billion.
And think about the fact that this is happening at a time when energy is scarce and expensive globally because of the insanely stupid economic policies that America has deployed as weapons of war against Russia through the economic sanctions, you know, debanking Russia from the SWIFT system.
And then Europe also choosing to cut off energy from Russia.
Oh, and there was a story.
Is this even in my list?
Oh yeah, here it is.
The German...
This is great stuff.
It's just...
The German Interior Minister now says that citizens of Germany should start hoarding emergency supplies.
Why?
Because things could go wrong!
Because they're shutting off all the energy from Russia.
So now they're telling their citizens, you might want to become preppers real quick.
Suddenly prepping is okay because y'all might be in the dark real soon now.
And then on top of that, the government of Switzerland has told the companies throughout the country to brace for electricity shortages.
Let's see.
You can't make this up.
I mean, it's unreal.
The Swiss government has shared its vision for coping with major power outages in a brochure shared with thousands of companies.
This publication report on Sunday was, In the absence of an electricity agreement with the European Union, such a scenario is likely if large power plants fail in Switzerland or abroad.
Let me come back to this, by the way.
I got to get in today's sponsor.
I'm going to come back to this to talk about Germany and Switzerland now telling their citizens to prepare for the emergencies that were created by the governments of Germany and Switzerland.
It's just unreal.
Just unbelievable that this is happening.
But today's sponsor, given our financial focus, is the Treasure Island Precious Metals Company.
And you can find them at brighteonmetals.com or you can go to metalswithmike.com and they sell gold and silver, the physical stuff.
And they have private sellers that are able to get them supplies of silver coins, which are very, very difficult to get right now.
It's very tough to get physical silver.
Gold, not so much at the moment, but gold will get wiped out in the not-so-distant future.
But Treasure Island, they've treated our customers very well.
They offer really competitive pricing, honest business dealings, and reliable insured shipping to make sure it gets into your hands.
So if you're looking at physical gold and silver, be sure to take a look at Treasure Island.
You can also go to metalswithmike.com.
And just for the record, I'm not paid any affiliate fee, no commissions, period.
Because I don't believe in doing that when it comes to financial instruments.
No commissions.
They pay a flat fee to sponsor a podcast, and then we use that money.
We pour it into the R&D for brighttown.com.
So it's thanks to our sponsors that we're able to do migrations and become more censorship resistant and build new features into Brighteon.com.
So I want to thank them for that.
And if you're looking at precious metals, definitely consider Treasure Island.
Again, metalswithmike.com.
Now, getting back to Switzerland and Germany, because this is just too juicy to pass up.
So this is being reported by Swissinfo.ch.
That's the extension for Switzerland, by the way.
It's not China.
Switzerland.
Swiss companies could be ordered to reduce their electricity consumption by a specific percentage in the event of a shortage.
The government warns in a brochure sent to 30,000 firms.
So the government's just kind of blasting this out.
Like, get ready to turn off the power!
Or however they might say that.
The first measure the government would take is to urge the population to tone down its electricity consumption.
Okay, you know how that's going to sound.
It's like, how dare you use air conditioning?
That's what it's going to be.
You've stolen my dreams from cooling your house, or heating in the winter.
The second would be to prohibit the operation of swimming pools, air conditioning systems, and escalators.
Oh, yeah.
Now I understand swimming pools, maybe even escalators.
Like, take the stairs, folks, but air conditioning systems?
Well, I mean, okay, it is Switzerland.
It's not Texas hot or anything.
Maybe they can get by with that.
Only in the third step would electricity quotas be imposed on the economy.
So it says a power failure could cause damages up to $4.3 billion worth a day, according to government figures.
A power shortage is, next to a pandemic, the greatest threat to Switzerland's supply, says the economics minister.
Guy Parmalin, or Guy, however you say, Parmalin, says in a video posted at the website of the Organization for Electricity Supply in Extraordinary Situations.
They actually have, I mean, this speaks to the oversized governments of European countries.
They actually have an organization called OSTRAL, and that stands for Organization for Electricity Supply in Extraordinary Situations.
You and I would just call that prepping.
It's like, what are you going to do when the grid goes down?
You know, it's like, oh, you're going to have a backup plan.
Maybe you have generators.
Maybe you learn to live without electricity.
But they have a whole government department trying to figure out what you should do.
Like, number one, you should cut the size of government, by the way.
So this guy, who's actually named Guy, says that an electricity shortage that extends for weeks or months would mean, quote, that factories could produce less.
Really?
We didn't know.
Public authorities and service companies such as banks would have to reduce their offerings.
He said, what does that mean, reduce their offerings?
I think that means the banks are on a holiday is what that means.
Like, sorry, you can't access your deposits because there's no electricity.
The bank's servers are turned off.
It continues, and means of transport that depend on electricity, such as trains or trams, could only operate to a limited extent.
Yeah, no kidding?
Really?
So basically, what he's saying is that when there's no electricity, things that use electricity don't operate.
Duh!
We knew that already.
Tell us something we don't know.
I mean, it's like saying that if you have a field full of solar panels, And it's cloudy and rainy all the time.
It's not going to be solar energy.
Duh!
If you build a wind farm in a place where there's no wind, you're not going to get any energy out of that wind farm.
We know that.
Alright, so then this article explains why this is all being talked about.
Quote, Switzerland risks significant problems guaranteeing electricity in the short term and the medium term in the absence of progress on a deal with the EU, according to experts.
Uh, You know what they're not saying?
Russia.
Yeah, they're not saying Russia.
They don't want to say Russia.
Because if they say Russia, pretty soon they have to say rubles.
They don't want to say rubles.
Rubles.
You must pay in rubles.
You want gas?
You must pay in rubles.
Nobody wants to admit it.
Sooner or later, remember, the five stages of grief, the last stage is paying in rubles.
So...
To me, this is fascinating.
Switzerland, they've created the problem by being part of this group that has shut off Russia.
I mean, basically, Switzerland is part of the group that's boycotting Russian energy.
And then instead of solving that problem, they're just telling their population to get ready for power failures.
That's their advice.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, maybe we need to put out different language versions of my new book, Resilient Prepping.
Like, resilient prepping if you live in a socialist European nation.
But now we've got to talk about Germany because German Interior Minister, and this is on FreeWestMedia.com, which is a great website with Paul Craig Roberts and others.
German Interior Minister, citizens should start hoarding emergency supplies.
Love it.
Federal Interior Minister Nancy Fasier advised citizens to take survivalist precautions in the event of a crisis.
In 2019, mainstream Christian Democratic Union members who supported survivalist networks were denounced as neo-Nazis.
But now the government's telling everybody to be preppers.
So let's see.
Think, for example, of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, the SPD politician told German Business Daily, the Handelsblatt.
Quote, if the power goes out for a longer period of time, or daily life is restricted in some other way, then it definitely makes sense to have an emergency supply at home.
Okay, I don't want to say it again, but duh.
Yeah, we knew that.
So it's referring to this new list published by the Federal Office for Civil Protection, part of the German government.
So this woman, Fraser, said that it's a high priority now for people to focus on civil protection.
Quote, the turning point is clearly showing us that we have a considerable need for improvement when it comes to civil protection.
Oh, wait, that's the Minister of the Interior?
Is that who that is?
Yeah.
And she's not mentioning Russia.
Because again, it is verboten.
You can't say that, oh, we cut off the energy from Russia.
She says, quote, we have to get up to speed here to cope with the various crises, pandemics, the consequences of climate change, that's right, you're going to blame climate change, and the dangers of war.
Okay.
She says, you got to have, what, supplies for food, medicines, or medical supplies.
She says there's 599 nuclear shelters in Germany.
And some of them need to be reactivated.
Oh, I wonder why.
Still not mentioning Russia.
So preppers were ridiculed not long ago in 2021 by the UK's economists who called them conspiracy theorists.
And then when Robert Moritz, a member of the mainstream CDU's executive committee, confirmed that he was a member of Uniter, a private prepper network for active and former soldiers, leftists called him a neo-Nazi.
So leftists have now equated being a prepper with being a Nazi.
Now, remember what I said earlier in this podcast, if you remember the first section, where leftists, because they're all pro-abortion and they're pro-genitalia maiming and they like to take clot shots that cause infertility, leftists are removing themselves from the human gene pool just through the fact that they don't believe in having a man and a woman create a child.
They don't believe in that.
So they're collectively winning the Darwin Award by removing themselves from the future of the human gene pool, right?
But they also don't believe in prepping.
They mock preppers.
I mean, think about what they mock.
They mock families.
They mock men and women that want to have healthy children, you know, the normal way through reproduction, biological reproduction.
They mock preppers.
They mock people that believe in gold.
You know, these leftists, they're all into fiat currency.
You know that, right?
Dollars are great, and take more vaccines, and chop off the genitalia of your children if you don't murder them first before they're born.
This is really their philosophy.
Well, I hate to tell you the obvious.
Actually, no.
I don't hate to tell you the obvious.
I kind of love pointing this out, come to think of it.
I should just be straightforward about this.
I kind of love pointing this out, that Not only are they killing themselves with their own suicide cult policies, but they're also, because they hate prepping, they're not going to survive what is coming.
And what is coming?
Well, not only another pandemic, obviously.
We have Bill Gates already bragging about, no, no one's coming.
We know that there's food scarcity coming, global famine on the way.
We know that there's a global debt collapse that's coming.
And then we know that the USA in particular is trying to escalate the conflict with Russia into a world war, possibly a thermonuclear war.
And so I ask you, if you have two groups of people, One group are people who mock preppers and who are not prepared at all and have no gold and no firearms and no ammunition and no water filters and no iodine because they think that's stupid.
And you have that group and then you have this other group That's like fully stocked up, gold and silver and ammo and iodine and a year's supply of food and all kinds of skills.
You know, they've practiced stitching up wounds on like chicken flesh from the grocery store.
Like these people, and they've got, you know, radios and backup equipment, everything.
Out of these two groups of people, who's going to survive a world war?
Who's going to survive an economic collapse?
Who's going to survive a global uprising, social unrest, chaos, invasions?
Who's going to survive?
It's kind of obvious.
And anybody who wants to survive has got to be, of course, part of the Prepper Group.
And that leads me to my book, my free book, resilientprepping.com.
You can download the whole thing for free, right?
It's available now, as of a week ago.
Or, yeah, I think less than a week ago.
resilientprepping.com.
Free e-book, downloadable PDF, also is a printable transcript, and it's something like 12 hours of me talking about how to survive the collapse of the power grid and the collapse of fossil fuels being available for combustion engines.
So how can you survive without any engines, no diesel, no gasoline, and also no electricity, no power grid?
That's what this book is about.
And it teaches you how to do that in every area that matters.
Shelter, food, emergency medicine, communication, self-defense, you name it.
Repair.
I have a whole section on how to repair everything.
That's what got me into sewing machines, by the way.
And welding PVC back together with heat guns and things like that.
It's been weird.
I have this...
Very large workshop of all this stuff for mending and repairing.
And my skills are not that great, but I'm getting there.
In a pinch, I could do it.
But it seems like now that Germany needs to have like a German language version of my book.
I wonder if there's somebody out there that wants to try to translate 12 hours of audio into German.
It would expand to like a 500-page PDF because the German language, all the words are so long.
It's like you take a little short word in English, you know, like basket, and then in German it becomes like Baskin-Groffen-Hoffen-Gumer or whatever, you know?
It's like, wow, how did you get your words so long?
Your words just multiplied.
It's amazing.
At least that's my perception as an American.
All right.
Okay, but the point is that Germany and Switzerland are now starting to warn their citizens to be prepared.
Notice that Biden isn't warning the American people to be prepared at all.
So I find it fascinating that European countries, now that they've shut off the energy supply from Russia, they're now telling their citizens to prepare for the crisis that the governments have created themselves.
It's like, at least for once, they're being honest with the citizens.
Like, get ready to have no electricity, because we just cut it off.
You know?
They're finally being honest.
But in America, of course, preppers are still mocked, and nobody's being told to prepare for anything.
We're being lied to constantly.
The economy's great.
Yeah, the dollar is strong.
Yeah, it's all good.
The stock market's going to go up forever.
Housing prices are going to go up forever.
Just keep buying everything.
And it's all a big lie, of course, but that's what you would expect from America.
So, you know, isn't it interesting?
Like, prepping is catching on in Europe as the escalation of the situation with Russia and Ukraine keeps moving into something closer to World War.
Like, people are starting to figure out, hmm...
What are we going to do if there is no power grid?
What are we going to do if there's nuclear weapons or cyber warfare or EMP attack?
Remember my analysis a few days ago?
EMP is the most likely retaliatory weapon that Russia is going to launch, not only against the United States, but also against Western Europe.
EMP is the weapon of choice, and Russia's got them.
And there's nothing you can do to stop them, by the way.
And remember how EMP works, right?
It takes down the power grid, takes down any kind of delicate electronics and circuitry, and thrusts your country back into, shall we say, the 19th century, right?
And yeah, you could still use engines if they don't have, you know, electronics in them.
But how many of those are still around?
Not that many.
They say, what, pre-1985 cars?
There's not too many of those around.
So anyway...
Prepping is suddenly on the radar internationally, which is interesting because our red-pilling operation is working so incredibly well.
We've woken up people to the dangers of vaccines.
We're waking up people to the importance of prepping.
And...
Especially based on what's coming, waking people up to the central bank and the fiat currency, the coming global debt collapse, and wait until that happens.
You talk about getting red-pilled.
There's going to be a mass global awakening.
It's going to be so rapid and so kind of psychologically violent that people are going to lose their minds.
It's like, what?
We've been ripped off this entire time?
You mean the, quote, full faith and credit of the United States government doesn't mean anything after all?
No, it doesn't.
It does not.
You've been looted the entire time.
Yeah, wait till that red pill gets swallowed by everybody around the world.
That's going to be a day to remember.
And that day's coming.
So get ready in every way that you can.
Don't forget we have our Mother's Day sale event going on today through Sunday at HealthRangerStore.com.
And we do have a thousand of the Ranger bucket sets available.
Probably won't be available very long.
Maybe, I'm sorry to say, maybe an hour before they're going to get sold.
We're doing our best, but we can't keep up with demand on those.
But there's a lot of prepping items available at our store.
And also, I encourage you to go out to your local grocery store and look at the things that you can purchase that have a good shelf life that lasts, you know, a year or better.
Things you can buy today and stock up on because you're going to be paying a lot lower price today than what you will be paying even six months from now because, of course, of inflation.
So join all the rest of us who are fleeing the dollar.
We're all trying to get away from the dollar.
For all the right reasons.
So in summary, the philosophy that I espouse is trading dollars for things that have value.
Trade dollars for food.
Trade dollars for gold.
Trade dollars for ammo.
Trade dollars even for crypto.
Just trade dollars for clothing.
If you're going to buy a pair of shoes in six months, buy it today because it's going to be cheaper today than it will be in six months.
Everything you buy today is going to be cheaper.
And probably in six months, for many items, there will be no supply whatsoever anyway.
Not for everything, but for a lot of items.
I mean, the supply chain is absolutely cratering.
So that's my take on the world situation right now.
It is the most epic and most dangerous financial storm that we will ever live through, the one that's coming.
And not everybody will live through it.
Those who are not preppers are going to do very poorly in all of this that's coming.
And I don't know if you can hear that huffing and puffing in the background.
It's one of my dogs.
He's standing here, and he's been getting really nervous about the coming global debt collapse.
I think he was listening to my interview with John Rubino, and he's had some high tension ever since.
But I tried to assure him I've been stockpiling dog food, but he's still nervous.
In any case, thank you for your support.
God bless you, and have a great day.
Put this information to use, and I'll talk with 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.
So download this guide.
It's free.
