Situation Update, June 3, 2022 - USA DOMESTIC food production now collapsing as fertilizer runs out
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Okay, welcome to the Situation Update Friday, June 3rd, 2022, my Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me, and we're going to talk about more economic shocks to the system.
I got some new intel about some food shortages and also a pattern emerging that for sure confirmed now the Biden administration is absolutely trying to put us into martial law before the midterm elections.
They do not want to allow the elections to take place.
But before we get to all that, you know that I tend to accumulate John Deere tractors, right?
And so I've got this kind of smaller John Deere tractor that I just got.
And the tires are off the rims.
So, you know, I don't know if you have messed with tractor tires before, but getting a tractor tire back on the rim, which means setting the bead, like having the tire bead, which is actually a big, thick steel cable inside the rim of the tire, that has to slide over the The metal rim of the wheel.
And that takes a lot of force, actually.
And for kind of larger tractor tires, that can be very difficult.
So I heard about a new way to mount these, which is incredibly hilarious.
And I'm going to call it kind of the redneck way to mount a tire on a tractor.
And the way this was explained to me, And now I've seen videos online of people doing this, is you take carburetor cleaner spray or parts cleaner spray, which is highly flammable.
And apparently, now don't do this at home.
I'm just describing it to you.
I'm not encouraging you to do this.
You spray this, spray all around the rim and a little bit inside the tire.
And then you kind of stand back and you light a match and you throw the match at this.
This volatile, flammable cloud of spray.
And you kind of shield your face.
And then it goes, and boom, the tire pops onto the rim.
Just like that.
That's the redneck way to mount a tractor tire.
And I was so intrigued by this.
Of course, you know I would be.
And I will have a fire extinguisher handy, don't worry.
But I was so intrigued by this, I decided I'm going to try this and I'm going to film it.
Or at least attempt to.
So that's coming up probably in the next week or two.
Going to see if we can go totally redneck on setting tire tractors using kind of explosive chemicals for a completely unintended use, by the way.
So if you end up seeing me hosting Infowars and I have no eyebrows, well, you'll know what happened.
Alright, now, my prediction has come true.
Remember just the other day I was talking about getting into the oil laundering business.
Well, I mean, not me getting into it, but that someone would.
That they would buy oil from Russia and they would launder it.
Ship-to-ship transfers, right?
On the high seas.
And then they would deliver this newly laundered oil to the EU and say, oh, that's not Russian oil.
No, that's oil from somewhere else.
And then they would make all this money off of oil laundering.
It turns out now it's already happened.
So Information Liberation has reported this.
India is buying up cheap, sanctioned Russian oil and selling it to the United States and the EU at huge profits.
And this is a report in the Wall Street Journal that's being cited by Chris Minahan here.
It says the U.S. has reluctantly given India permission to buy Russian oil because India has threatened to ditch their alliance with America and ally only with China if the U.S. tries to sanction India.
So in America, you can't buy Russian oil.
And in Europe now, you can't buy Russian oil because that's all been sanctioned.
But in India, they can buy and sell Russian oil and buy and sell to Western countries.
So India is making huge bucks.
The oil cargos, according to Wall Street Journal, were brought through the Suez Canal and across the Atlantic from Indian refineries, which have been big buyers of Russian oil, according to shipping records.
And then, let's see, there's analysis by Helsinki-based Think Tank Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
Yeah, I'm sure this makes the air really clean.
India's imports have skyrocketed to 800,000 barrels a day compared to what used to be 30,000 barrels.
So that's like over 20, what is that, 25 times, basically?
Yeah.
Man, India is like, all of a sudden, got all this oil.
And then, let's see, a refinery owned by India energy giant Reliance Industries Limited bought seven times more Russian crude in May compared to the pre-war levels, and then they chartered an oil tanker to carry this cargo, a gasoline component,
On April 21st, without a planned destination, then three days later, it updated its records with a U.S. port and then sailed to the U.S. and then discharged this cargo in New York on May 22nd.
So, I mean, it's so stupid what the West is doing.
It's like, oh, we're not going to buy Russian oil.
So the Indian people buy Russian oil.
Oh, yeah, we'll buy Russian oil and we will sell it to you at a profit.
This is great, you know?
I mean, they're super happy.
I mean, good for you, India people, because this is a free market system that you're doing.
Good for the Indians, man.
Yeah.
Sock it to the dumbass Westerners who are trying to sanction Russia, but they're only ending up paying double or triple for the same fuel, the same oil, the same gasoline.
But now the Indians get an extra profit in the middle.
You know, good for you.
That's called entrepreneurship.
Make stupid people pay extra.
Really?
I mean, that's kind of a free market concept, right?
If you're stupid, you're going to pay extra.
And somebody's going to make a profit in between.
And right now it's the Indians.
Good for them.
And then, you know, the stupid Westerners are like, yeah, we're making Putin suffer so bad.
And in between tweeting out, Pride Month, Pride Month, we love all gay things.
Everything's gay.
And Putin must be suffering because we're paying so much more for gasoline.
And the Indians are laughing.
And the Russians are like, this is awesome.
Rubles, more rubles.
And the world's insane.
But, you know, what else would you expect?
Here we go.
But it's so funny that I called this like three days ago.
I was like, the oil laundering business is going to be lucrative, and then the Wall Street Journal reports on it.
Pretty interesting.
You wouldn't believe how many times I see things in the media that I talked about here in the podcast days or weeks before.
You probably have noticed this, right?
You hear something here in the Situation Update, and then you'll see it in the media.
But later, because it takes a while for people to catch on to this.
Like, remember right after the Uvalde school shooting, the very next day I had a podcast.
I was like, how did this kid pay for all this stuff?
Where did he get the money for the rifle?
I was kind of breaking down the costs of all the gear.
Where did he get the money for these Daniel Defense Rifles and all this ammo and the red dot sights and everything?
We were kind of doing the math.
And then in the last day or two, I've seen suddenly that idea...
Has gone big, I think, by Steve Bannon.
Steve Bannon's talking about it.
Well, I mean, you heard it here first.
We were doing the math within, like, half a day, actually.
By the way, speaking of shootings, you know, this Tulsa shooting that happened in the Tulsa Hospital earlier this week.
A few more details have come out.
Let's see, the shooter was...
Michael Lewis apparently has been identified as Michael Lewis, 45 years old, of Oklahoma, shot and killed four people.
He was trying to shoot apparently his doctor, Dr.
Preston Phillips, who operated on his back on May 19th.
And that Lewis had complained to the hospital apparently about the pain after his surgery.
And then there was a letter that showed he was intending to kill his doctor, Dr.
Preston Phillips.
Now, of course, this is a horrific situation, and we don't in any way condone violence against doctors or patients or in any context.
However, it is worth stating here that Although there are exceptions, orthopedic surgeons, by and large, are used car salesmen.
They lie all the time about the results that you're going to get.
Oh, it's just going to be no problem.
We're just going to go in there and we're going to put a screw in here and then we're going to, you know, talking about your spine, right?
We're going to open this up and close that up and then you're going to be dancing by the weekend, they'll say.
You know, they make these insane promises that are all BS. I mean, orthopedic surgery, it's kind of known for this, especially back surgery.
If any of you listening, if you've had back surgery, did it go as well as they promised?
No, it did not.
It's almost always worse.
And for whatever reason, orthopedic surgeons, I don't know why it is.
I mean, there's an arrogance that they have that, oh, you have to go along with me and do this, or you're stupid, you know, that kind of arrogance.
And I know there are some really good orthopedic surgeons out there, by the way.
I'm not trying to diss them all.
There are great surgeons that save lives and get people out of pain, right?
But the area of orthopedic surgery is very well known for a lot of kind of...
Kind of quackery, really.
You know, say, oh, yeah, this is going to solve your pain problem, no problem.
And then all you got to do is let us do the surgery, and then they do the surgery, and then you're in way worse pain for much longer.
You know, that's very common.
And so, again, I'm not excusing at all what this crazy guy, what's his name, Michael Lewis, what he did.
I mean, but...
Understand, like, how bad must it have hurt to drive some person to want to go kill his doctor and then himself?
Like, how crazy bad pain is that?
Again, in no way do I justify his actions.
And clearly, you know, he's got a screw loose, maybe not even in his spine, but in his skull.
And, you know, clearly this guy got pushed over the edge.
Maybe this is the kind of guy where you say, here, have some opioids.
Like, we don't even care if you become an addict.
Just don't shoot people!
Or maybe, I don't know, maybe the doctor, I mean, this is just conjecture, but maybe the doctor refused to prescribe him opioids because there's been such a crackdown on opioids, which is also understandable because they're highly addictive.
I don't know the details, but I'm just saying that If you go into an orthopedic surgeon, be aware that they lie all the time about the results that they can achieve.
Their success rate is so close to zero on back surgery, it's horrific.
And the truth is, in almost every case, and I say this, I've suffered extensive back injuries in years past.
Very severe from combat training and martial arts injuries and things like that.
And I've never allowed any kind of surgery on my back.
I don't want a scalpel to cut nerves and blood vessels and muscles.
Forget it.
No.
So I've had to learn how to manage and strengthen and use anatomy in an intelligent way to compensate for back injuries.
And it's hard.
It's a long road.
And you have to do certain kinds of training and certain kinds of stretching.
And I do rolling, you know, body rolling.
I do that all the time.
And it's through these activities that I am pain-free.
But for many years I was not pain-free.
You may not have known that about me because I haven't talked about it much publicly, but I was in a lot of back pain for many years.
And, of course, never took, you know, painkillers.
You know, nothing like that.
Today, I rely on, again, stretching, rolling, strength training, and great nutrition.
Like, I take MSM and chondroitin sulfate, and I take anti-inflammatories.
You know, I drink turmeric every day, things like that.
And, you know, thank God I am completely out of pain.
And never had any surgery, never won it.
And I'm training in jujitsu now, right?
So I'm back into combat and my back is doing great.
And I'm very careful about how to use it.
But that approach is difficult.
It's so much easier for people to go into the doctor and say, doctor, fix me.
You know, you fix me.
I don't want to do the work.
It's a very common approach by American patients.
And so, you know, we've got to be aware of that ourselves, too.
Are you abrogating the responsibility of your health to your surgeon and then telling him to fix you and then you're just kind of falling for his sales pitch or her sales pitch?
Usually it's men.
When maybe you could try other things instead.
And, you know, the other thing that goes along with back pain very frequently, by the way, Especially with men, and I don't mean to make this a whole, like, back pain lecture.
I'll move on here shortly.
But the other thing is having a really oversized belly, or as sometimes referred to as, like, a beer belly or a big-ass gut, you know, like one that's just hanging over your belt.
Well, that extra mass puts, you know, all kinds of pressure on your lower back.
And losing that weight...
Will, of course, make your back feel better, but it's so slow to make progress.
And also, you know, the best way to lose weight is to add a lot of physical fitness and movement and strength training.
But if you're already in pain, you may be at the point where you can't do that level of physical activity because of the pain.
And so then the only way to lose weight is to basically engage in calorie restriction, which means starving yourself all the time.
Which really sucks.
So forcing yourself into a calorie restriction diet, losing weight without a lot of exercise is very, very difficult.
And that's why very few people succeed at it.
But maybe in a future podcast, I could go into more detail about that.
But there are many people in chronic pain.
Most people could try other things that they just don't want to try, but then there are some people that really do need some kind of intervention or help, you know, physical therapy or Egoscue type of therapies to teach yourself how to use your body in a new way, and that takes time and training and money and so on.
There's also There's different therapies like rolfing therapy and even massage therapy can help as well.
So there are a lot of interventions, but they can get expensive.
So once again, you've got to have time and money and energy and effort in order to solve these problems.
And here we are in the world where we're facing a food shortage and sky-high fuel prices and an economic collapse and everybody's trying to get prepared and trying to store food and trying to grow food.
And then on top of that, you're supposed to have the time and money and effort To go get therapies and do physical training, right?
It's very trying for anybody to balance all that today, including myself.
I don't have a spare moment, by the way.
I do not have a spare moment in my day because every moment is filled with something that Whether recording this podcast, publishing stories, doing interviews, doing physical training, growing food, taking care of my dogs, any number of other things.
Doing ranch work, using explosive chemicals on tractor tires, or whatever the case may be.
I don't have a spare minute at all, and probably you don't either.
That's why almost every week, and just keep this between you and me, I don't want the word to get out about this, but People will contact my staff and they'll say, oh, you know, I'm going to be in the Austin area or I'm going to be going through Central Texas and I'd really like to, you know, hang out with you for a day.
Can we just get together and hang out and have some lunch and talk and spend an afternoon, whatever?
And let me tell you, the number, the list of people that I will actually, that I can spend time with and hang out with is so short that It's a very short list of super special people because the answer, the default answer, everybody else is, you know, I'm sorry, I love you, but I don't have the time.
I literally do not have the time.
I spend one afternoon with you and I'm behind schedule for three days.
It takes me three days to catch up.
That's how intense it is.
Seriously.
Okay, here's some more news on the supply chain situation and we kind of warned that this was coming.
But you know how satellite phones are wiped out?
You can't find them anywhere.
And they're wiped out for the rest of the year, for the most part.
I mean, you just can't find them.
And then, you know, our sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store, they have these BIVY sticks, as they're called, B-I-V-Y, BIVY. And these are the two-way satellite text messaging devices.
And I did an interview with Tina from the Satellite Phone Store and Steve Quayle a few weeks back.
And Tina said, yeah...
These are going to be sold out too.
And there's a specific part that goes into these that I'm not at liberty to share what part it is, but that part is absolutely necessary for the functioning of these devices.
And that part is completely wiped out of the supply chain for like 18 months or something close to that.
But the manufacturer of the BivySticks had stockpiled a certain number of those components.
I don't know what the number was.
Maybe it was like 30,000 or something.
And so because of their foresight and stockpiling of this component, they are able to continue to manufacture these devices until they run out of that component.
Well, the BivyStick company has just announced that in 10 days, they're going to have to raise their prices 25% on the hardware and also 25% on the monthly service fee.
It does not affect those of you who already have the existing service fee.
That's going to stay the same.
You're grandfathered in.
But after 10 days from now, anybody new that's getting a bivy stick and is paying the monthly fee for the unlimited two-way satellite text messaging, that's going up 25% as well.
And the bivy sticks are going to run out at some point, probably in the next several months.
We don't know exactly how many months.
There's going to be a point where they're gone.
And then there's going to be no satellite phones and no bivy sticks for a while until, I don't know, until World War III is over or whatever is happening out there, the supply chain, you know, certain microchips and components and things.
So anyway, even though the bivy stick company can now still make these things for a while, the cost has gone way up.
So if you want to get one of these You basically have 10 days to get it at the current price.
Go to sat123.com.
They are a sponsor of Brighton.
sat123.com.
Look for the bivvy sticks.
And if you do that by...
I don't know what is today.
The third?
If you do that by...
I guess June, let's say, 12th to be safe.
June 12th, you'll get the current price.
After June 12th or 13th, it's the higher price, and it's higher every month because there's a monthly fee associated with it.
So there you go.
Sadly, we're going to have to get used to this in the supply chain.
All kinds of things are just completely wiped out.
I interviewed a guy today.
A few hours ago, that makes the, what is it, the thermal, the counter thermal blankets, or they're not blankets.
They're camouflaged netting systems that block thermal imaging, okay?
You know, the thermal cameras used by drones and terminators, robots and things.
And this item, he was telling me that, you know, the military is just buying these like crazy.
I bet he can barely keep them in stock.
And I'm hearing this from other suppliers that sell like night vision or thermal vision or firearms or certain types of military gear, ballistic shields and vests, breaching equipment, you know, anything that might be used in time of war, it's just getting wiped out.
And there was also somebody else that was Reaching out to me, actually, through a mutual contact, and they said, oh, we're desperately looking to buy large quantities of storable food, and our customers include the military, and we need to buy massive amounts of food, and our minimum order is $100,000.
And I said, look, man, we got nothing for you, because we're still trying to serve our own customers.
I mean, that's all there is to it.
And we don't sell MREs either.
They're not meals ready to eat.
It's not like biscuits and gravy in a pouch.
No, you know, you got to kind of, you got to make your own meal out of the ingredients that we have, you know, quinoa, lentils and beans and Different kinds of nuts and all kinds of goodies, salt and spices, things like that.
But it's not a meal ready to eat.
This is not suitable for battlefield soldiers who need to eat something right now.
But anyway, even we're being contacted by buyers who are, I guess they're middlemen that are trying to sell to the military and the military can't get enough food.
So if you thought the baby food formula problem was the only problem, oh, think again.
The military can't even get enough food.
And on the baby formula shortage topic, by the way, according to Bloomberg, they're quoting this company called Data Assembly that monitors, I think, 130,000 retail stores across America to see whether baby formula is in stock or out of stock.
And when this baby food crisis began a few weeks back, I remember that the out-of-stock number was something like, what was it, like 35% of the stores or something were out-of-stock?
I forgot the exact number.
Well, now, according to Bloomberg, the out-of-stock number is 74%.
And that's for the week ending May 28th.
So according to Date Assembly...
Oh, wow.
And they say the week before, it was only 45% were out of stock.
Now it's 74% nationally.
And in 10 states, the shortage rates are 90% or greater.
And in Georgia, it's 94%.
Oh, that reminds me of our little song about Georgia.
Remember my little song on that?
So this is...
My little satire song, which it goes like, Can't get no peaches now from Georgia.
Can't get no weed from California.
That's mocking the Justin Bieber song, which is called Peaches, if you're wondering where that came from.
So he has a song, and that's what he's singing.
I get my peaches now from Georgia.
And then he's singing, I get my weed from California.
I take my chick up to the north, yeah.
And then some...
I forgot all the lyrics because I'm not a Justin Bieber fan.
But anyway, it's a popular song.
But every time I hear Georgia now, it's because there's a total collapse of the supply chain in Georgia for whatever reason.
If you're listening in Georgia, are the shelves empty there?
What's going on in Georgia?
I mean, not only the election problems there, something smells rotten in Georgia when it comes to elections, that's for sure.
Isn't that...
You got some corruption going on there.
Eh, it's even worse in Virginia, come to think of it.
But the supply chain's all breaking down in Georgia.
So that's why you can't get no peaches now from Georgia, unless you're right there.
Unless you're in Georgia, then you can get Georgia peaches.
But I guess, ah, not anybody else.
So think about this nationally, then the baby food shortage is 74% gone, which means, of course, if you go to four stores, only one of them has baby food or, you know, infant formula.
I'm using those terms interchangeably.
Perhaps I shouldn't be.
Three out of four stores have no infant formula.
So here we are, America.
Supposedly the indispensable nation, the greatest country in the world.
Well, I mean, the way it was founded was the greatest concept in the history of the world.
And for a while, we were.
Really awesome.
If we had just stuck to the founding fathers' principles, we would be the greatest nation.
But, you know, we're far from that now.
And America is a nation now that can't feed its babies, which, as I pointed out, is something that even the most remote, low-tech tribe in the middle of, I don't know, the Amazon rainforest or some remote region of Aborigine, Australia or something, they can feed their babies.
And yet America cannot?
America can't feed its babies.
And yet we're supposed to believe that America...
Can plan the future of climate and economics and energy and technology like our scientists are the best in the world, and they can alter the genetic code of a human being with precise mRNA strands that teach your body how to make antigens, to stop pathogens, to put disease into the history books, and yet can't feed your babies, right?
How do these two things coexist?
Well, of course, the whole science promise is all a lie.
Anyway, they just made all that up.
They're not actually solving pandemics.
They're not curing disease, and they're not feeding babies either.
It's just that it's the feeding babies part that they don't have a cover story for that.
They have cover stories for the clot shots when people drop dead Especially all these sports stars that keep dying every single day.
You know, there's another baseball star and a football star and a soccer star and a tennis star that just keep dying every day.
And the media says, oh, it's another coincidence.
It's another sudden death.
Unexplainable death.
Inexplicable sudden death, right?
That's what they say.
That's their cover story.
But when you can't feed babies, it's not so easy to have a cover.
Like the media can't say, oh, well, hungry babies is a right-wing conspiracy theory.
There are no hungry babies.
You're imagining hungry babies.
They're not hungry.
They're screaming because they're happy about Biden or something, right?
Like that kind of cover story wouldn't really fly.
People see, the baby's hungry.
He's crying because he's starving.
You can't really explain that away.
So that's the only reason the truth is coming out about this.
And then fake President Joe Biden came out.
I don't know.
It was a question and answer session or something.
He's like, I wasn't even aware of this problem until two weeks ago.
It's like, well, the infant formula industry was aware of this problem last fall.
And they were warning about all of this.
And they knew this was coming, and you ignored it.
And so here's the problem.
And then you've probably seen the stories that talk about how the power grid is going to fail this summer in America.
You know, across, what are they saying?
Like, 20-plus states are expected to have rolling blackouts.
And there's a heat wave coming.
In Texas, I think, actually next week, it's going to be hitting like 105, 106 degrees.
Oh boy.
Oh, my goats are not going to be happy about that.
I don't like it to get too hot.
But you know, if power grid starts to fail, of course, I got to crank up my tractor and my PTO generator and start using all my stockpiled diesel fuel.
Which I really would prefer not to burn through.
But that's why I stockpiled it, because, you know, I might have to run a generator for a month.
Who knows?
Because the power grid's getting all shut down and dismantled, you know, just a couple days ago, right?
They turned off another nuclear power plant up north.
Was that in Minnesota or Michigan?
I forgot.
It was up in the north-midwest kind of area.
Turn that off.
What was that?
811 megawatts of power.
It was gone from the grid.
And, you know, dismantling coal power plants, turning them off.
Oh, well, you can't get your EPA license renewed and have to shut down.
And then they're not delivering as much coal and they're not, you know, looking for energy as much because the permits are denied and the pipelines are shut down.
Folks, this is all on purpose.
The food shutdown and the energy shutdown is all on purpose.
In fact, there's a really great article in the Epoch Times by Patricia Adams, no relation to myself that I'm aware of, but Patricia Adams writes, food, fuel, and inflation crises all stem from globalist policies.
And essentially in this article, Patricia is simply explaining kind of what I explain here, is that this is all, everything you're experiencing, the shortages, the inflation, Food and energy and everything else, it's all because of bad policy decisions, or perhaps deliberately bad policy decisions, you know, because they want you to suffer.
They want to create an emergency, but it's all on purpose.
In other words, it's all man-made.
Every shortage happening here is man-made.
All the inflation, man-made.
Currency devaluation, man-made.
Maybe woman-made since Janet Yellen is in there.
Janet Yellen.
She's the woman who contributed to that.
Doesn't she look like Grimace from the McDonald's group of characters?
Remember Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar?
Wasn't there kind of like a gray blob called Grimace?
I think that's Janet Yellen.
So yeah, check this out.
You know, Grimace, it is a McDonald's character.
It's a giant purple blob.
And check out this picture of Grimace side by side with Janet Yellen.
It's the same creature.
You can just see Grimace saying, inflation is transitory, right?
You can imagine that.
That's not far from what we're hearing.
It's just like this purple blob.
Whoa!
I'm sorry, I don't mean to get carried away here, but whoever was on LSD and came up with the McDonald's characters, you know, you haunted the dreams of children for generations.
Creepy Ronald McDonald clown, like a Krusty the Clown little grooming pedophile with crazy red hair and just freaky scary lips and a pale white face.
I mean, that is just...
That's creepy stuff.
And that's why it's no wonder that McDonald's is all in with LGBT now.
Seemingly all the corporations are at the moment.
So McDonald's has been tweeting out like, oh, we're all in for pride.
Yeah.
Yeah.
McDonald's has been gay since the 1970s.
I mean, McDonald's has been trans.
For decades.
It's just we didn't recognize it back.
Now, looking back, oh, yeah.
Oh, man, they're dressed up like furries, like little birds and animals, and they got little kids' playgrounds.
And what do you think they're doing in the little bubble box or whatever that thing is?
Eh, uh-huh.
They've been grooming kids since the 70s, believe me.
All right, but let's not dwell on that.
It's just too creepy, man.
Let me give you some intel here.
So I got a call today from a mutual friend who connected me to a source who's tied into the food industry in Florida.
There's a certain area of Florida that grows a tremendously high percentage of the tomatoes and peppers and melons and all these different foods that are provided to the entire United States.
So many of them come out of Florida.
And if you go to the Florida Department of Agriculture website and you look at what crops are supposed to be shipping out of Florida right now, let's say May, June timeframe, it's cantaloupes.
I'm reading this alphabetical list now.
It's mangoes, mushrooms, papayas, oranges.
Wow.
Peanuts?
Yeah, that's interesting.
Tomatoes and watermelons, sweet corn, all kinds of stuff.
Well, at least in this one area that is...
Normally it's these mega farm operations.
I'm told that many of the people who usually have been working 16 hours a week at this time of year, harvesting food, transporting it, transferring it, you know, onto trucks and trucking it out of there, they're getting zero hours. they're getting zero hours.
There's no work.
And it's just dead.
And the reason is, well, there's multiple reasons.
What I was told is that a lot of farmers did not plant in the spring, which, you know, comes early in Florida.
They did not plant because of the fertilizer costs, right?
They did not plant because of fuel costs.
And some did plant, and now the harvesting is so expensive because of fuel and transportation and labor that it's not even worth harvesting the crops.
So some crops are rotting in the fields right now.
And the diesel fuel transportation costs have made it so expensive to both plant and harvest that it's It's not even worth it for farmers to farm in Central Florida in many cases, not in all cases, but in many cases.
So farmers are actually better off to do nothing, grow no food.
And this is food that should be coming out of Florida right now.
It should be on trucks right this minute, being shipped to New York and Chicago and all over the Midwest.
Maybe not the West Coast, because most of that comes out of the Central Valley of California.
But everything kind of east of, let's say, the Mississippi, a lot of that comes from Florida this time of year, and it's not there.
So You're going to see far worse shortages on grocery store shelves.
You're going to see higher prices.
You're going to see less variety of foods.
And I'm afraid I'm going to have to pay, you know, $10 per avocado pretty soon.
Which I will still pay, just to admit that.
For those of you from the avocado industry listening, I will still pay $10 on avocado.
I won't like it.
But I have no choice.
If I have a $500 a month avocado habit, well, at least that's nothing compared to Hunter Biden's habits, which are like $500 every hour in crack and hookers.
So, I mean, yes, I do have a habit.
It's an avocado habit.
And I gotta have them.
I'll pay whatever.
But for the average American, especially low-wage workers, they can't afford hookers and crack and $10 avocados.
It's just too much.
Thank God that they can't afford Hunter Biden's habits.
But no, seriously, even if avocados go to $5 each, It's going to hurt a lot of middle-class families and lower-class families.
India is now halting some rice exports.
There's been wheat exports halted by many countries.
The whole situation with Ukraine and Russia on sunflower oil and other crops and so on.
Folks, this is not looking good.
Now we hear that even domestically in Florida, they're not moving the crops that they're normally supposed to be moving this time of year.
This is This is adding up to a real food disaster for the second half of this year in the United States.
In fact, I recorded a separate podcast on this, urging you to go out and buy gardening implements now, because I don't think you're going to be able to within a few more months.
And this is something that's also been mentioned by David Dubine of ADAPT 2030, and I really...
And I really enjoy interviewing David Dubine, and he's really watching the food and crop scenarios quite closely as well.
And, you know, his conclusion is, look, by the time even half of America wakes up and realizes the food is running out, and then they try to scramble to start to grow a little bit of something, like, let's grow some tomatoes, you know?
And then they're going to need basic garden tools.
They're going to need, you know...
Plant stakes, tie twisties, and hoes and rakes.
Not Hunter Biden's hoes, but garden hoes and rakes and shovels and everything else.
They're going to need this stuff, and you're not going to be able to get it.
It's going to be gone.
And seeds, actually, for that matter, garden seeds.
And then fertilizers and everything that goes along with that.
Irrigation tubing.
All kinds of things, like water timers, garden hose adapters, all these kinds of things.
How are you going to grow food if you can't buy that stuff?
What are you going to do?
Go out there with your hands?
Like, with a fork?
And your hands like, just jabbing the soil.
I'm digging a ditch for food.
You know how you're going to burn so many calories trying to grow food?
You're going to starve to death.
You have to grow food efficiently or don't even bother growing food.
But apparently the food production situation domestically is quite bad.
Rather severe.
And in fact, I think it's David Dubine who's got a contact in the Walmart Corporation who told him, if I'm not mistaken, that Walmart was already planning to close, was it like one to two hundred stores in America?
Something in that range.
Because they know they can't get the supplies, they can't get the inventory out of China.
To supply those retail stores.
And you know, Amazon is now contracting and Amazon is getting rid of millions of square feet of leased warehouse space.
You heard that, right?
There is a contraction happening at retail right now.
Housing prices are now falling.
Oh, remember my prediction?
Remember I said, what was it?
April 18th, 19th?
I said that's the peak of the housing market.
Remember that?
And now, in May, something like, I forgot the number, but it seems like one out of every four homes that are listed in the MLS system now have price reductions.
Prices are starting to crumble.
Because, of course, interest rates are rising because of quantitative tightening by the Federal Reserve.
And what goes along with that is, of course, much higher mortgage costs.
You know, to maintain a mortgage costs a whole lot more now.
So, of course, home prices are beginning to fall.
So we're going into a very weird scenario now.
Where in real estate and land, you're going to see deflation.
You're going to see reduced values as that bubble begins to slowly burst.
But in food and fuel, you're going to see inflation.
The dollar is going to be losing value in a huge way.
And at some point, by the way, as people become increasingly poor...
You're going to see a fall in the price of vehicles.
Mark my words.
Car prices, truck prices, they're going to start coming down in the next 90 days.
And you're going to see the supply of cars and trucks, especially used vehicles, increase towards the end of the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter of this year.
And the reason for that is not that the supply chain is getting better.
It's that people are just too broke to buy.
Why?
Because they're spending all their money on food and fuel and mortgages.
That's why.
They can't afford a new car or even a newer used car.
So if you're thinking of buying a vehicle, my advice is wait until about October, November.
You're going to get a much better deal at that time and much better selection too.
Now, here's a disturbing story from agweb.com, and it's talking about a new government program from Tom Vilsack.
He's the Secretary of the USDA. So Tom Vilsack has announced a new $2 billion spending package that he says it's going to be, what, $600 million in aid to support food supply chain infrastructure and Outside of meat processing,
there's $400 million for regional food business centers, there's $300 million for a new, what is this, an organic transition initiative, there's $75 million to support urban agriculture, and so on and so forth, $650 million for loans for meat and poultry processing plants, and on and on.
And I'm like, since when did we become a communist who had to have centralized planning for the food supply chain?
When did the government have to run all this stuff?
You know, the answer to this is not for the government to decide who wins and loses and to distribute money like, oh, we need more food facilities over here, we need better supply chains here, spend all this money there.
No, government money is always waste.
The way to solve these problems, including the infant formula problem, is to get the government out of the way.
Stop the subsidies.
Stop corn ethanol insanity.
You know, stop all the USDA limitations and regulations and the EPA crackdowns on farmers who have a little bit of water on their farm.
Stop the government insanity.
And you don't need to hand out money to people.
They will make it themselves delivering products and services that people want.
It's just like the oil laundering that I mentioned earlier.
The Indians, they're like, hey, people need oil?
We're going to launder the oil!
They're making money, you know?
You don't have to pay the Indians to do it.
They do it themselves and they make money off of it.
Same thing is true in farming.
You get the government out of the way.
Tell the USDA, stop paying farmers to not grow food!
I'm sorry to be yelling, but the USDA still pays farmers to destroy tractors and pays them to destroy crops and pushes money to distort the crop ecosystem.
It's all distortions.
And farmers can't figure out, like, there's no reliability in the system because you don't know who the government's going to bail out next week.
You have to try to anticipate the insanity of the central planning.
Where if you got the government out of the way, farmers could actually plan more reliably of what to grow or what not to grow.
And the demand from the customer would drive the profit-seeking behavior of the farmers and the food distributors and the food transportation companies and the meat processing plants and so on.
Because everybody who starts a business wants to make money.
They want to earn a profit.
And how do you make a profit?
You deliver something to people that they want, which turns out to include watermelons, you know, and pepper plants and so on.
And so people buy food, which means there's a ton of money for entrepreneurs who just want to figure out how to grow it, how to process it, you know, or just package it and how to deliver it.
You don't need the USDA doing this stuff.
You just need to let farmers farm.
Farm freedom is what we need in America.
We don't need more handouts.
Give me a break.
But this is what big government does.
They muck around with everything.
They ruin everything by destroying the free market and pretending like their bailout programs are the answer to everything.
It makes everything worse.
It's just so crazy.
They have $60 million for a farm-to-school program to help small-scale farmers and help schools afford child nutrition programs.
Let me give you some advice, Vilsack.
You want to help children in America?
Tell the people of the Fed to stop printing money.
And then the mommies and the daddies who have the children could afford to buy better food because their dollar wouldn't be losing 3% a month.
Or actually in the food industry, it's like 10% a month right now.
No, seriously.
Food prices are going up more than 10% a month.
And that's because of money printing.
That's inflation.
So again, you think you're helping America by handing out money?
No.
Stop printing money.
And then everybody wins.
Well, except the deep state, I suppose.
Which is why they keep printing money, so they can pay off all their cronies and have all the bribery and kickbacks and everything.
But if you really wanted to help the people, you'd stop printing money so that people could afford better food or more food or higher quality food or organic food.
The answer is so simple.
Stop printing money And food becomes abundant again.
And stop messing around with the industry.
Hands off, you know, minimal regulation and just food safety regulations do make sense and, you know, organic enforcement makes sense.
But you don't need to tell farmers what to grow.
Let the free market figure it out.
And the free market is far more efficient than any government planning, period.
I mean, everything the government gets involved in, it just gets worse.
Like, here's another example.
So the FDA is completely in bed with big tobacco.
And now, by the way, since when did the FDA, I mean, Food and Drug Administration, when did they assert authority over smoking?
Well, I think it was back in the 1990s when they asserted that.
Maybe it was the 1980s.
But they said, yeah, we're the Food and Drug Administration and cigarettes.
Which was absurd.
There's no authority over cigarettes.
But then, remember in the early 1990s, there was that big settlement with Big Tobacco.
And, you know, Big Tobacco was the evil villain of the day in, what, 1993, 1994, something like that.
It was Big Tobacco.
Big Tobacco was the Putin of the 1990s.
Today, everything evil is Putin's fault.
Back in the 1990s, it was Big Tobacco or maybe Rush Limbaugh's fault because he was very popular on AM radio.
So it's Big Tobacco's fault.
So The government got together and they filed these massive lawsuits against Big Tobacco.
Now, admittedly, Big Tobacco was lying to everybody.
And they used all kinds of junk science and they infiltrated the American Medical Association.
And they used to have full-page ads in JAMA, which is the Journal of the American Medical Association.
And the full page ads would say things like doctors smoke camels more than any other cigarette.
You can still see these old ads and there are all kinds of ads in the medical journals run by big tobacco.
And then, of course, all the quote science of the day said that smoking was actually good for you.
Right.
It's just like they say vaccines are good for you.
Now, smoking was good.
In fact, some of the same people are involved in PR of vaccines and GMOs today who were also involved in big tobacco.
It's literally some of the same people.
But you can still find ads that would say, like, smoking improves memory and concentration, you know, and smoking is good for your teeth, you know, things like that.
It was all science.
Well, quote, science.
So anyway, the states and the federal government, they got together and they sued Big Tobacco, claiming Big Tobacco, that they lied and that it was addictive and that it caused heart attacks and lung cancer, which it does, by the way.
I mean, smoking cigarettes is pretty dirty.
Because of the carcinogens that are in the smoke, right?
Lots of carcinogens in there and they build up and it's not a good scene for your health.
But did the FDA actually help smokers?
Not really.
Or did the lawsuits?
No.
What they did is they simply forced big tobacco to pay money to the states.
And the money was supposed to be earmarked for anti-smoking campaigns.
Did any of it go to anti-smoking campaigns?
Almost zero.
Mostly it went into the general budgets of the states so that the state governors and the state legislatures could have that extra money To hand out to their friends and their campaign supporters as kickbacks and bribes and contracts for road construction and all the normal ways that payoffs are handled.
Oh, consulting fees of your family members.
Here's $5 million.
Well, my family member had to consult for the state, right?
That's how these things happen.
It's all just payoffs and money laundering.
So big tobacco money went into the States, and then the States just, you know, flushed it down the toilet in bribes and everything.
Meanwhile, the FDA asserted control over smoking.
And then, fast forward to current times, the FDA is, you know, they've asserted power over vaping.
And vaping is not smoking.
Vaping, it's not tobacco, right?
There's no tobacco in vaping.
Vaping is just basically inhaling.
It's like inhaling a substance.
And what are these substances?
Well, I guess people vape like CBDs and they vape, I guess, can you vape nicotine?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot of those are nicotine, right?
So vaping, depending on the formulation of what is in that liquid that is aerosolized, It could be a whole lot cleaner than cigarettes because vaping doesn't contain the pesticides and the herbicides and you're not actually burning plant materials so you don't even have the carcinogens that are in tobacco and all the bleach and I don't know the bleaching chemicals that are in tobacco and then heavy metals from the soils and whatever.
So vaping actually technically from a chemical perspective is actually much cleaner than Then smoking.
Then smoking cigarettes.
But the FDA goes out now and attacks vaping.
They've got a big announcement talking about lung injuries associated with vaping products now, but they never mention smoking.
So the FDA is attacking vaping.
They want people to stop vaping, but they don't really want people to stop smoking.
You wonder why?
Because big tobacco pays kickbacks to the states.
Vape manufacturers do not.
See?
So the FDA, they're attacking vaping again because vaping doesn't pay protection fees to the states or the federal government, but big tobacco does.
So the FDA would rather you smoke cigarettes, which are far more dangerous, than to vape, which is far cleaner, for that very reason, because it's all about the money.
It's so corrupt.
The whole thing...
It's always about the money.
It's always so corrupt.
And I should mention here, you know, the people I know over at CraveKicker, they have a discount code for our audience.
CraveKicker helps people quit Both smoking and vaping.
So if you know somebody that wants to get off cigarettes or get off vaping, because vaping can be very addictive too for the ones that have nicotine in them, you've got to kick the cravings.
And that's what CraveKicker is all about.
It's spelled with a K. CraveKicker.com.
And I think, I hope I'm not wrong about this, I think the discount code is RANGER. I think that's it.
10% off their products.
And that company is about to go big time.
You're going to see Crave Kicker nationwide, by the way, I think, because people love the product.
And it's an herbal approach to being able to kick the dopamine habit so that you don't need that hit from nicotine.
I've never been addicted to nicotine, so I don't really know what that is like, but apparently it's very intense.
For people, very, very difficult to quit that.
So I guess any help you can get is worthwhile.
That's cravekicker.com.
Check that out.
I think they're going to go big time, frankly.
I really do.
I'm really happy for the founders.
They deserve it.
All right, we've got to get into the United States and Russia and Ukraine here.
So kind of changing subject matter.
The USA has now admitted that they're involved in cyber warfare against Russia, offensive cyber operations.
The director of the NSA just came out and admitted that.
So, you know, open cyber warfare against Russia.
Now, what's interesting to me about this is that a few years ago, I don't know if this was under Obama.
I think it was under Obama that the United States government announced that if any other country attacked the U.S. with cyber warfare, that the U.S. reserved the right to respond with kinetic weapons or nuclear weapons.
Right.
This was the posture.
And it has remained that way ever since.
So the U.S. says, oh, if you attack us with cyber warfare, we consider that to be conventional warfare or part of conventional warfare.
And it means we can nuke you.
But then now the U.S. admits, well, we're attacking Russia with cyber warfare, but they don't have the right to retaliate against us.
And this stems from the truly insane position of the U.S. government and the State Department and from people like Victoria Nuland and other Russia haters.
The official United States position is that Russia has no right to exist and that Russia has no national interests that must be respected and that Russia has no right to exert Spheres of influence whatsoever anywhere, especially in Europe, but that the United States has all of those rights and that the U.S. can assert any rights, any spheres of influence and so on.
In fact, since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the position of the United States has been that Russia is a failed nation that has no national rights or national interests or even a right to exist.
And that is an incredibly stupid position for the U.S. to take because, well, of course, Russia has a right to exist.
Of course Russia has a right to demand some zone of neutrality in Eastern Europe, which should have been Ukraine.
You know, of course Russia can say, stop putting missiles on our border.
Of course Russia has the right to engage in trade.
And, of course, Russia has the right, if attacked in cyber warfare, to retaliate against the attacker, which in this case is the United States, because that retaliatory right is the official position of the United States.
So it begs the question, if we are assaulting Russia with cyber warfare, and if Russia follows the United States doctrine, Then what would be Russia's retaliatory response?
Right?
So, well, that answer may have just been uttered by, let's see, a Russian senator.
Let's see if I can get his name here.
Franz Klintsevich.
He told Russia State TV that Russia should, quote, wreck American bases in Europe using Russia's high-precision, long-range weapons.
And this is after the U.S. announced that it's going to send Ukraine its M142 high-mobility artillery rocket system, the high-MARS system.
So we now have a Russian senator, and he says, let's see, the The prospect of Washington sending the HIMARS system to Ukraine means, quote, it's time to wreck American bases in Europe using Moscow's high-precision long-range weapons.
Now, what's interesting is that according to the U.S. war doctrine, this Russian senator is correct.
He is justified.
And it's not just the HIMARS system, which I'll talk about here in a second, but it's also the cyber warfare on top of that.
The U.S. is increasingly escalating its direct attacks on Russia.
And for example, this HIMARS system, when equipped with the correct types of rockets...
It can launch a rocket.
I think it was 300 kilometers, something like that.
It could allow Ukrainian forces to essentially shell Russia's cities in Russia with high-explosive guided artillery, essentially, rocket artillery that's guided.
And that would mean that the United States would be enabling Ukraine to attack Russia.
And then on top of that, the United States is engaged in cyber warfare against Russia.
And then on top of that, there's also talk of other equipment coming from the United States as well, tanks and vehicles and drones and things like that.
But This escalation is being done on purpose.
And remember what I said a couple of months ago.
This is all designed to provoke Putin into a retaliatory response that I think Biden and Obama hope to become a nuclear exchange.
They want America nuked before the midterms.
And they're begging Putin to nuke America.
Now, will they pull it off?
Gosh, I hope not.
You know, Putin is not a dummy.
He's not so easy to goad into that kind of an attack.
But could Russia use, let's say, non-nuclear fuel-air explosive weapon systems mounted on hypersonic cruise missiles to take out American bases on European soil?
Such as in Poland?
Oh, absolutely.
In fact, I think that's the most likely thing that's going to happen soon.
I think that...
Oh, one other thing.
Remember, it was like a week or two weeks ago, I was talking about how my intel sources said that the U.S. is planning a retaliatory attack against Russia from Western Ukraine across the Polish border, and that's going to happen in, what did I say, July or August, right?
Remember that?
Well, now the mainstream media has been reporting for the last several days that there's a big buildup of NATO forces in Poland, you know, along the border of western Ukraine, and that this buildup is being readied for a massive assault against Russia in what month?
Oh, August.
So, you know, once again, you heard it here first.
You heard it here like weeks early compared to the mainstream media once again.
But as they build up all these forces, Aren't they just making a big, juicy target for Russia to launch fuel-air explosives?
Because fuel-air bombs are really, really effective at taking out personnel and certain types of light vehicles, like command vehicles and things like that.
Not tanks, but many types of vehicles can be destroyed with fuel-air explosives, but especially personnel.
So if you've got 100,000...
Men, you know, Europeans and Americans and whoever else, stationed in a series of tents or light, you know, bunker buildings in a, I don't know, a field somewhere in Poland.
It's just begging for Putin, you know, to send, what, like hypersonic missiles and fuel air explosives?
It's just like, I don't know what to say.
I mean, you're just begging Putin to attack it.
And he might very well do that because Putin would say, well, it's justified because you were going to use all this equipment and all these military men and personnel, you were going to use that to attack Russia.
And he's not wrong about that.
And he could say, well, the U.S. is already attacking Russia with cyber warfare.
We reserve the right to retaliate with kinetic weapons.
That's why we launch the missiles.
See?
So, you know, the U.S. is so stupid in this.
To say that, oh, we can do that, but you can't do that.
Like, we're a country, but you're not a country.
We have rights, but you don't have rights.
I think Putin's going to sort of knock on the door of the West with, what are those missiles called?
Like, the Iskanders?
I forgot the exact name.
The big-ass Russian missiles that they can launch from these mobile launch vehicles.
I think Putin's going to send one of those right into Poland.
And it's going to tell America, oh, by the way, you attack us, we attack you.
And it's going to be a reminder that you can't just be delusional if you're the West.
You know what I mean?
You can be delusional about transgenderism, and you can be delusional about the causes of inflation.
You can be delusional about your currency and everything else, elections, all of it, your fake news.
But fuel air explosives are real, and you can't explain them away.
It's like a big kaboom, kind of a shock back into reality.
Whoa!
A giant fuel air bomb just exploded over 100,000 men and they're dead.
And that's Russia's way of saying, and we told you so.
You know, we told you to knock it off and you didn't knock it off.
And so we just sent you a little missile with a message.
The message is to be read in the fuel air explosive.
The message is stop your aggression.
And then we will stop bombing you.
That's what's coming.
Remember, you heard it here first.
When you see a massive bomb, you know, a massive attack in Poland, you heard it here first.
Because it's probably going to happen by August.
Now, there's one more thought on this that I think is worth sharing, and that is...
From what I can tell from the media, it seems that the U.S. is going to send only one unit of the high-mobility artillery rocket system, or what's called HIMARS. H-I-M-A-R-S. I'll just call it HIMARS. Apparently, we're only sending one of those, and it's the M142. So I'm thinking, one?
One unit.
So, if they send one unit to Ukraine, you know, first of all, what are the chances that this thing makes it even to the eastern front of Ukraine or even the southern front lines?
You know, the chances of that are pretty slim because of the interdiction efforts by Russia.
But let's say it makes it to the front lines.
They have won.
Don't you think that every drone that Russia controls is going to be hunting this thing down?
And don't you think that Russia is going to send every freaking hypersonic missile that they have to take this thing out?
I mean, how long is this HIMARS system going to last once it's operational?
You know, like three hours, maybe?
High Mars will be, you know, blown to Mars, I think, in no time.
Russia is not going to just sit back and say, yeah, keep launching missiles at us from 300 kilometers.
Russia is going to hunt this thing down and find it and destroy it within hours.
You know, and then what?
Is America going to send another one?
Take another three weeks, you know, dismantle it, load it up onto the cargo plane, fly it over there, unload it, reassemble it, test it, find some suicide crew that wants to be trained on this thing, you know, that knows they're going to die within hours after they take this thing online again, send them out to the Eastern Front, and then what?
Fire this thing up and get bombed again in another three hours, and then you lose all that personnel again?
You just keep doing this over and over again?
Isn't that the definition of insanity?
They're not winning the war with one HIMARS unit.
It's an embarrassment to the art of war, actually.
It's virtue signaling to say, oh yeah, we're supporting you, Ukraine, but not really.
Here, have this piece of equipment which will be a missile magnet for the short duration in which it exists, and then it will be shrapnel.
Basically, we're shipping Ukraine scrap metal and killing their people in the process.
I mean, it's completely insane.
There's not even doctrine.
You know, they talk about war doctrine.
There's no doctrine behind this.
This is a doctrine-free decision.
This is pure politics and pure stupidity.
There's no doctrine.
There's just insanity.
See, remember, folks, the entire war doctrine of the United States in conflicts like this, I mean, think about Afghanistan and think about Desert Storm in the early 1990s in Iraq and Kuwait.
What was America's war doctrine?
It was always based on air dominance.
Which meant that you could have your high Mars types of units or, you know, the what is it?
The seven, seven, seven artillery unit, the toad artillery and other artillery units that they could function, quote, unmolested in the theater of war.
You know, unmolested, like nobody's trying to hunt you down because we America, we have air superiority.
We control the skies.
We run combat air patrol.
What are the units of combat air patrol?
Sorties, right?
Yeah, sorties.
We control the skies.
We have the satellites.
We have the drones.
We dominate the skies.
And that way, all of our ground-based units can operate unmolested.
Well, that's not what's happening in Ukraine, is it?
Who owns the skies in eastern Ukraine?
Who owns the skies?
Quiz time.
Is it Ukraine?
No.
Ukraine has no air force.
I mean, remaining.
Almost all their planes and helicopters have been shot down.
Is it the United States?
No.
Hmm.
Who could it be?
Oh, it's the Russians!
Yeah, it's the Russians that have air superiority over eastern Ukraine.
Which means that, you know, any U.S. military piece that shows up on the battlefield over there is going to get hit by, you know, air-to-ground missiles from maybe, you know, fighter aircraft or bombers or other long-range, you know, cruise missiles and things like that.
America has no air superiority in this context.
Neither does Ukraine.
And that's why Russia is just hammering away at the ground war.
And Russia is not stopping.
You know, Russia's so far past the point of rational negotiation because the West refused to negotiate rationally with Russia.
They refused it.
They refused to recognize Russia's right to exist.
See, that's where all of this originates, is the inability of NATO, which once promised no more expansion eastward in Europe Their failure to stick to their promises, such as the Minsk agreements, and their failure to recognize the right of Russia to exist.
Whether you hate Russia, love Russia, hate Putin, love Putin, doesn't matter.
I mean, I don't like communist China.
I don't like North Korea.
But does North Korea have a right to exist as a sovereign nation?
Yes.
Yes, it does.
Even though I don't like, who is it, Kim Jong-un?
No.
Is that the current guy?
Kim Jong-il?
Un-il?
Whoever it is, you know, crazy psycho bastard, but North Korea still has a right to exist.
You don't have to like the leaders to recognize the country.
So really what I'm seeing happening now in NATO and the United States is that everybody's looking for the exits.
Everybody's looking to cover their ass for when Russia decisively wins this and the Ukraine military just folds.
And again, I'm very sorry to see this because I'm always rooting for humanity.
I want every man and woman to live a life of peace and prosperity and abundance and security and I don't want to see anybody die in any theater of war.
It pains me to see this happen.
And the fact that so many young Ukrainian men are being thrown into the Russian meat grinder machine by leaders who seem to care nothing for the lives of innocent young men, it's very frustrating.
It's horrendous, actually.
So I don't want to see this.
But the reality of the situation is, The Ukrainian military is about to fold.
And it might be a merciful thing, actually.
It might be merciful if the entire military just says, this is no longer a tenable situation.
We cannot function.
We have no supplies.
We have no leadership.
We have no support from Kiev.
We can't do this.
Which is happening unit by unit, by the way.
It's happening more and more.
But if the military...
I hope that the military...
It arrests Zelensky, frankly.
And then the military sits down with Putin at the table and says, okay, first let's stop the hostilities.
Three days of just no more artillery, no more dying.
Three days, let's see if we can hammer out a way to coexist.
And maybe that's possible.
I think Ukraine will end up being a lot smaller on the map, by the way.
I think the Donbass region is gone.
I think, obviously, the Mariupol region is gone.
I think Russia wants Odessa in the southwest of Ukraine and so on.
So I don't know if they can come to an agreement.
But for God's sake, this ongoing just throwing men into certain death, this is not...
The way to fight a war.
This is not leadership.
This is not humanitarian.
It's just suicide.
And Zelensky, he's a puppet of the West.
And the West is sacrificing Ukrainian men in order to achieve political goals that are rooted in the corruption, deception, and domineering ways of Western nations, the United States in particular.
So, you know, very sad to say, because of America, Ukrainian men are dying.
That's the truth.
And I would hope that we could stop this and I hope that we could find peace.
And I would hope if we want to have, you know, baby food back on the shelf and we want to have wheat, again, available to the Middle East, you know, if we don't want to have people in Lebanon starving to death in six months or four months, we need to restore trade.
We need to restore fertilizer shipments.
We need to restore energy.
We need to restore Russia's ability to engage in international trade.
And if we don't do that, by the way, America is over.
And I covered this yesterday.
America is over as the indispensable nation.
America is over.
The dollar history.
The future will be a world dominated by Russia and China.
And America will be ancient memory before long because America has nothing more to offer the world right now other than stupidity and violence, brutality, weaponization of the dollar, threats, debt.
And just pure insanity.
That's all that America is offering the world right now.
And the world, frankly, is getting tired of it.
And if America doesn't come to its senses and realize that we all have to figure out how to get along in the world, we can't just occupy every nation that we want to occupy.
We can't just bomb everybody that we want to bomb.
Because, you know, America has bombed dozens of countries in the last few decades.
If we don't realize that we have to coexist as nations, Then America has no future in this world and America will be brought down economically with the political fall to quickly follow.
America is not an indispensable nation.
America is headed to being a nation on the trash heap of history, actually.
And the time to turn that around is running out quickly.
And sending more rocket systems to Ukraine is the dumbest thing imaginable at this point.
We should be building a wall on our southern border.
We should be maybe building infrastructure in America.
We should be asking for peace with Russia.
We should be restoring trade and finance with Russia.
We should recognize Russia's right to exist.
And only then...
Can the world get back to something resembling peace?
But again, the globalists don't want that.
They want global extermination.
They want the fall of Western civilization.
They want human populations to be drastically reduced.
So that's why they're taking these actions, as we know.
All right, so final thought today, and I'll wrap this up.
I think now you have about 60 days remaining.
Before things get super crazy, like very difficult to function, you know, with financial transactions or supply chain food or being able to purchase products.
I think you've got June and July and that's the remaining window of easy times.
After that, I think it gets really ugly.
And I think it stays in the ugly phase for a very long time.
You know, the fourth turning, right?
How and who is it?
Strauss and Howe, I think, are the authors.
The fourth turning book.
And as Ed Dowd was saying on the show with Alex Jones the other day, we are now in the winter phase, which is the downfall phase, the cycle of civilization.
And there will be a spring on the other side of this, a rebirth, a renewal.
But the winter phase can last a long time.
And nobody knows how long it's going to last.
This winter phase of scarcity, starvation, inflation, currency collapse, social unrest, lawlessness, rigged elections, authoritarianism, all this, global war, this winter phase, this could last a decade.
Literally a decade.
Or it might only last, if we're lucky, two to three years.
But that's a long time, too.
How are you going to feed yourself for those two to three years?
How are you going to feed yourself between now and 2025, huh?
There's a question.
When nothing works, this could also last 10 years.
And in 10 years, they'll kill off, you know, 75% of the human population if they can extend the crisis that far out.
And that's what they want.
So we're in the winter.
Get ready.
Anybody who doesn't have food and a backup supply of money, you know, gold and silver, for example, if they don't have seeds, if they don't have the ability to survive with self-reliance, anybody who's in the boat of thinking, like, preppers are stupid, like, anybody in that boat, you can pretty safely write them off.
They're going to die.
They're going to die from what's coming.
Maybe not every single one of them, but a lot of them are going to die.
They've got no preps.
No plans?
And they think that you're crazy because you're aware of what's happening in the world?
You know, the first nuke that goes off in North America, these people are going to lose their minds.
Oh my God!
Well, maybe you should have thought about that possibility.
And a lot of them are going to die.
The population of America, by the end of 2025, and this is not a prediction, but I would not be surprised if it's only 160 million or something like that.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's cut in half.
It doesn't take long for people to die of starvation.
It takes, what, like 40-something days to die of starvation.
It can happen just like that.
So, I mean, sorry, I don't have a more positive message for the weekend for you.
I don't like to leave you with something this kind of ominous, but this is the reality.
Use the weekend wisely.
I always say that, but use it wisely, especially now.
Your window to prepare is collapsing.
60 days is about it, in my estimation.
At least that's the safety zone to get ready.
You can still go buy food.
You can still go to the grocery store.
All the shelves are not empty yet.
Money still works.
Your credit card probably still works.
Your bank still functions.
Maybe not well, but it's still somewhat functional.
You can still buy, sell, and trade.
The stock market is still functioning.
Things like that.
60 days from now, I'm not sure how much of that works, or if the shelves are full anymore, or what.
Or we might be in World War III by that time, or certainly by the midterm elections.
We might be under martial law by the midterms.
We might not even have the midterms.
We might be in a new pandemic, hemorrhagic fever virus release.
We might have Chinese troops landing in California by Christmas.
Who knows?
We might be the victims of a cyber attack power grid outage this summer.
Rolling blackouts might not just be, you know, over demand on energy.
It might be cyber warfare from Russia, you know, in response to our cyber warfare.
So think about these possibilities.
Continue to get prepared.
We'll stay on the air as long as we can.
And if you'd like to support us, of course, you can always shop at healthrangerstore.com.
We just got in a new shipment of a whole lot of organic powdered milk that is, of course, lab tested and everything.
It's not yet in inventory because we got to go through, you know, packaging.
Which takes time because we do that ourselves.
But it's coming.
So we do have more powdered milk.
I did hear that today.
That's good news.
You can check our store for what else we have in stock.
HealthRangerStore.com I know we have a lot of number 10 cans of certain types of fruits and things.
You know, certified organic freeze-dried fruits.
And I think we...
Actually, I'm not sure if we have the freeze-dried coffee anymore.
But I know we have more coming.
So check out what we have.
We're working hard to have more for you.
Working hard.
Man, our crew is working hard.
Someday I'll tell you some of the stories about how difficult it is to keep this thing running.
But we're providing a real service to the world, and you can take advantage of it right now while we're still functioning.
So thank you for your support.
God bless you.
Have a productive weekend.
I may have some updates for you over the weekend, shorter podcasts, but if not, I'll talk with you again on Monday.
God bless you.
Take care.
