Situation Update, June 15, 2022 - The whole house of cards is COMING DOWN
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the Situation Update for Wednesday, June 15, 2022, my Mike Adams here.
And we've got a lot of funny stuff to cover today.
Also, some serious things.
We're going to get into the accelerating collapse on many fronts, food and finance, supply chains, medical supplies, and so on.
And the fact that so many people who were in denial about this are sort of suddenly realizing, oh my gosh, I don't have enough to survive.
If things go south or suddenly they're going to the store and realizing that their food costs nearly twice as much as it did six months ago.
And I'm hearing stories of all kinds of people who wish they would have stocked up six months ago.
On everything, because everything was so much cheaper then.
And remember, I'm sitting on thousands of gallons of diesel fuel, as I've mentioned a few times, because I stockpiled energy.
And looking back, you know, I paid for some of that.
I only paid $2 and something a gallon.
And it's now $5.50 a gallon or something in that range.
So, you know, I've got fuel that I invested in and it's less than half the price of what it is today.
So talk about a return on investment, man.
When the power goes out, which is coming, we'll talk about that a little bit.
It's going to be, you know, very expensive to keep generators running based on current fuel prices.
So it's a great idea, you know, to stockpile, well, early rather than late.
Now, I've got some videos to show you today with a little bit of a sidetrack.
I'm trying to collect my own blood for an experiment.
Let me explain.
Do you recall that big finger-sized clot that's in those photos from Richard Hirschman?
And there's a photo of this giant clot.
It almost looks like a slug.
And, you know, it's the thickness of a finger and it's maybe four inches long and there's a photo of it that he's holding it on his latex glove.
Well, that clot is now headed my way, it turns out.
Like, that particular clot.
Because it's the biggest one that any of us can find.
And it came out of someone's carotid artery.
And what we're going to do is we're going to dissect that clot and try to get some more answers about what's in these things.
Are there living cells in them or are they dead tissue or dead cross-linked proteins or what have you?
So that clot's coming my way.
And the clot is large enough that we're going to be able to take a kind of a clot biopsy, you know, a chunk of it, and subject it to some instrument tests in the lab.
But we want to be able to compare it to human blood, you know, in terms of just running the test, like, see side by side, here's what blood looks like, and then here's what this clot looks like.
So I can't just run around asking people for blood, you know, and so I'm harvesting, in essence, my own blood sample.
But I don't know.
I don't want to do like a venous puncture type of thing, you know, myself especially.
So I just have this little diabetes lance thing, you know, where you stick your finger and then you squeeze hard and try to get some drops of blood out.
So yeah, I bought one of these diabetes things for that purpose and I have a I have a vial here, a small one, where I need to collect about 500 microliters of blood.
I don't know how many drops that is, but I have a feeling I'm going to have to keep squeezing for a while.
Because these little diabetes things, they don't draw a lot of blood.
So I might be poking my thumbs over and over again here until I get enough blood for this thing.
The things I go through for science, you know, just for public education...
All the weirdness of...
Like, I never thought I was going to be taking clots from deceased people and staining them on live radio, you know, and TV broadcasts and showing the world what these are.
I never thought I was going to be drawing my own blood for comparative lab tests, things like that.
But, you know, here we are, folks.
2022.
World's gone crazy.
Completely freaking nuts.
So we do what we have to do to try to save lives and try to stop this vaccine holocaust.
And by the way, the FDA just approved today, I think, a two-shot sequence for children aged, what is it?
6 to 11 or something?
Let me check that.
Oh no, here it is.
Moderna, the two-dose COVID vaccine for kids age 6 to 17.
So these kids have almost no risk from COVID, but now they're going to be double-jabbed with an mRNA injection.
And gee, I wonder what this is designed to do.
Hmm.
I wonder how this fits into the global depopulation agenda.
It's kind of obvious at this point.
Just unbelievable.
There's so much news.
That's not even the weirdest thing that's happening.
For example, we have a great tampon shortage now in America.
You may have heard about this.
So in a nation where we can't find enough food to feed infants, and we've had this infant formula shortage, we now have the great tampocalypse taking place, where tampons are running out everywhere.
And, of course, I was on with Alan Keyes and Bob Sisson, On the IMTV broadcast on Brighton TV yesterday, I pointed out, you know, kind of satirically that, hey, if it wasn't for all these tampons that are being loaded into the tampon vending machines in men's restrooms in left-wing universities, maybe we wouldn't have a tampon shortage.
It's kind of like they've directed so many tampons to men's restrooms that now women can't get tampons.
You talk about misallocation of resources.
It would be kind of like if you ran out of urinals because you kept installing urinals in women's restrooms or something.
What, you think they're going to stand there and use those urinals?
No.
Why do you have tampon vending machines in men's restrooms?
Well, because the left is totally insane.
But, you know, remember that Joe Biden, he ordered the military to use C-130 cargo planes to airlift infant formula into the United States from other countries.
And so they did.
They brought in, I don't know, hundreds of thousands of pounds of infant formula, which didn't even make a dent.
But, you know, they were airlifting this stuff, which, by the way, I didn't see the climate change people freaking out over that.
What about the CO2 footprint of flying infant formula across the world?
But I'm just wondering if now Joe Biden might airlift a bunch of tampons into the United States.
Can we please have the military airlift some tampons?
Because I want to see an air cargo military airdrop operation like the great tampon rescue operation with little tampon parachutes and just tampons falling out of the sky with parachutes on Democrat-controlled cities.
And the women looking up saying, oh, thank God.
Thank God the government's here to save us.
Tampon parachutes falling out of the sky.
Thank God for Biden.
I want to see that because it's the perfect sort of elucidation or demonstration of the insanity of what the Biden regime has become.
The free market has been so destroyed.
That people just can't get the products they need.
You know, because the government is mucking around with all of this and the supply chains are collapsing and the dollar is losing its value and so on.
And so the answer is always more government and more military operations and burning more fuel and spending more money, right?
So are they going to do this with everything?
With everything that consumers need?
In other words, is the Biden regime going to TP the United States when the toilet paper?
Runs out.
Are they just going to drop toilet paper rolls like a giant Halloween prank on a national scale?
Like, look, military planes TPing the entire country.
There's toilet paper falling out of the sky.
That's the perfect representation of government under Biden.
You know, they talk about helicopter money in economics.
You know, helicopter money, like money printing.
Forget helicopter money.
I'm talking about airdrop parachute tampons all across America.
Which of course would add to the plastics pollution problem everywhere.
You would have like tampon plastics contaminating rivers and streams and everything.
But the media would say, oh, you're not supposed to write about that.
You can't talk about the problems unless they are approved problems.
So for example, you can't talk about these weird tissue clots, these biostructures that are showing up in the bodies of people who took these vaccines.
Can't talk about that because it's not approved.
I'm surprised they're talking about the tampon shortage, actually.
But I got a little video for you.
Democrats are afraid of everything at this point.
They're just so afraid.
This is why they get triggered when they just see the word Trump written in chalk on the sidewalk, for example.
They completely flip out.
And this video is from the March for Our Lives rally, which apparently is an anti-gun rally.
Which I know makes no sense because if you wanted to protect lives, you would support the Second Amendment.
But these people, they want to take away guns only from the citizens so that government and police have a gun monopoly.
These are the same leftists who say police are too dangerous to trust and that police should be defunded.
Now they want police and government to be the only one with guns, but whatever.
So apparently at this event, somebody shouted, gun!
And I want you to see the mass panic of this crowd of sheeple and cowards who just stomp all over each other, running away from this, whatever it was, somebody screamed gun or something.
And actually, there was nothing that happened.
It's just everybody flipped out and lost their minds.
They all got triggered at the same time.
And when you watch this video, notice it looks like a bunch of sheep that are scared and running away, like just a herd of scared sheep.
Check this out.
Fight every day for our...
Do not run!
Freeze!
Do not run!
There is no issue here!
Do not run!
So wasn't that fascinating?
We're going to show it again because I want you to notice something in particular.
But notice that they all started fleeing like sheeple, like just mind-controlled sheeple.
And then when the woman on the megaphone screamed, do not run!
Freeze!
She says.
She actually says freeze like it's a command word.
And the entire crowd freezes.
Because they're all obedient sheeple.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be at this rally.
I mean, Democrats are obedient, mind-controlled zombies and sheeple.
So when you order them to freeze, I guess they freeze.
This is interesting.
This is a way, I guess, that we can stop Democrats in the future is just have a megaphone and then just yell freeze.
But I'm going to play this again.
I want you to notice, especially in the foreground of this video, in the lower right-hand corner of this video in particular, Notice how there's not a single Democrat who knows how to climb a small fence.
They can't get over this thing.
This is actually just a little barricade.
It's not even a fence.
Not one of them can get over this barricade without spilling and doing a face plant on the other side of this thing.
They injure themselves just trying to go over a little barricade.
Just notice it.
It's just incredible.
These people have no physical coordination, skills, endurance, strength, nothing.
They can't even go over a little tiny barricade.
But watch again.
It's incredible.
Fight every day for our...
Do not run!
Freeze!
Do not run!
There is no issue here!
Do not run!
Now, one of the reasons I wanted you to watch this video is because this is a perfect demonstration of what's going to happen in the financial markets any day now.
And it's beginning to happen in the crypto markets, too.
So people are very easily triggered by fear and, of course, mob mentality, the madness of the crowds.
You just saw it right there, a bunch of left-wing Democrat sheeple who have no rational reason to be tripping all over themselves and trying to scale barricades.
I wonder how many people broke their hands and fingers in that video.
How many people got trampled?
There was a woman in a pink shirt there that just kind of vanished underneath the mad sheeple crowd.
I wonder what happened to her.
I hope she's okay.
But this is going to happen in the financial markets.
I think we're getting very close to that day because, you see, people, especially those on the left, they don't operate based on individual reason, rationality, analysis of the real world, processing of data or information or observations.
They just run wherever everybody else is running.
That's actually what characterizes Democrats or leftists.
And that's why sometimes we call them NPCs, non-player characters.
They're not capable of operating as an individual character.
They only follow the crowds.
And so whatever the crowds are doing, that's what they're doing.
doing.
And a great way to be able to determine or kind of identify these people is just go on Facebook and notice that during pride month, you know, everything is gay month.
They're going to have pride flags as their icon.
Yeah.
They're NPCs.
They're sheeple.
They're morons.
They're drones.
They're zombies.
And then of course, the month before they all had the Ukraine flag.
And maybe the month before that, they all had like a mask or a vaccine or whatever was popular then.
And then a month from now, they'll have some other new symbol or flag.
It's all based entirely on what is popular.
So again, they do not operate.
They do not think for themselves in any way And so a lot of these people jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon or other bandwagons, the stock market bandwagon, right?
The big investment bandwagon.
Maybe they listened to Jim Cramer on CNBC and they said, oh, we're all just going to get rich.
You know, let's just jump in this.
And that works for quite a long time, actually.
Because of the nature of Ponzi schemes and so on.
As long as more people keep jumping in, the Ponzi seems to pay off.
It's like, wow, this is really amazing.
But at some point, the whole thing turns.
At some point, FOMO turns to fear.
So, like, fear of missing out, FOMO turns to, really, I guess, panic.
When people suddenly fear that they're not going to get out unless they get out now, there's a rush for the exits.
And that's what's coming in the financial markets in a huge way.
And the only people that are going to avoid getting trampled in this financially are those who already saw the exits and took the exits ahead of time, which means getting out of the stock market, out of the dollar, out of the treasuries, out of bonds, and so on, so that you are outside.
You're out of the building long before the mad mob panics because if you're too late, you get trampled.
And that's what's coming.
In fact, one of the things I wanted to say today is that we need to turn up the dial on the seriousness of prepping and understanding what's about to happen.
Things are deteriorating rapidly.
I probably don't have to tell you because you're very observant.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be listening to this.
But you may not have all the data points that are coming to me because I know a lot of people in the industry, a lot of people in the food industry, in preparedness, in firearms and electronic gear, some people in finance and so on.
And I've been getting a lot of hits over the last three or four days that are sort of early warning signs that aren't yet appearing in the media.
So they're not on the consciousness of, you know, regular journalists or mainstream people or anything like that.
And these hits are very, very alarming.
And they indicate things are going to get extremely bad.
For example, I know someone who owns a restaurant.
And he was telling me how bad it is trying to get food, you know, ordered commercially in order to run the restaurant.
And he said that a container of crab meat, which used to cost, I think he said something like $12, is now $60.
For just one container, I don't know if it's a kilo or what size is it.
It used to be $12, now it's $60.
And so, you know, if they make a crab, a meal with any kind of crab in it, Then, you know, it's insanely expensive.
You can't, as a restaurant, you can't afford to serve it.
And then the other thing he said is that you're lucky if you get what you order now.
Because restaurants order from, I guess, companies like Cisco or other distributors that distribute, you know, a big truck comes to your restaurant, offloads all this food that you've ordered, whether it's You know, pasta or cream or whatever, you know, all the stuff you've ordered.
He says now a lot of stuff is not coming in.
And he said he's having a very difficult time planning the menu for the restaurant because he's trying to make a soup, let's say, and the soup has 12 ingredients and you don't have 12 anymore.
You have seven.
So you have to make do with the seven.
You have to figure out, okay, what kind of soup am I making today?
Since I only have seven ingredients, and two of those are salt and pepper.
So you see, this is becoming kind of what was called in the Renaissance Fair or Renaissance Festival days, a siege cooking where you had to figure out how to cook meals if you were under siege.
And folks, we are under siege.
We are all living in the beginning chapters of what we can call siege cooking.
And when you go to the restaurant, anytime you do from here forward, just count your blessings if they have what you need, if they have what you want.
And some restaurants are charging an extra fee for beef.
It's called like a beef surcharge now.
So you order a hamburger and you pay the hamburger price and then there's another beef surcharge on top of the hamburger price.
I mean, that's how desperate things are.
And it's getting far worse.
The supply chain is breaking down as designed.
Now, there's something else that I learned recently that's very disturbing.
And this is affecting our business, too.
So this is how I know this directly.
But capsules for supplements are out of supply.
I mean, they're almost impossible to get, at least the veggie caps, you know, the non-collagen, the non-bovine capsules.
So, for example, in our products, we don't use bovine capsules.
We don't use bovine gelatin for lots of reasons.
But one of them is I just don't trust the safety of the cows today.
And frankly, I'm worried about prions.
But one of the reasons that I don't want to ever use bovine gelatin in capsules for the products that we manufacture at Health Ranger Store is because I'm concerned about prions.
I am.
I'm concerned about prions in gelatin products.
And also, a lot of our customers, you know, they don't want animal byproducts.
They don't want...
Cow parts, capsules.
So we use veggie caps and certain brands of veggie caps that have properties such as not becoming too fragile and breaking or being able to effectively dissolve during digestion or working correctly with the encapsulation machine that we have at our facility because we do our own encapsulation, by the way, which itself is a complex thing.
But what I learned recently is these types These veggie caps, the ones that we've been using all these years, they used to cost five cents each, a nickel each, which probably seems like a lot because I think the bovine capsules were maybe a penny each or something.
Now, we were just informed that these veggie caps have gone up to 50 cents each.
50 cents, folks.
So in other words, if we were...
Selling a bottle of, let's say, 100 capsules of something?
The capsules alone would cost $50, and that's our cost.
And that's with nothing in it.
I mean, those are the kind of price increases I'm talking about in the supply chain.
And there are a lot more data points.
There's supply chains totally breaking down.
The anonymous doctor that I had on when I was hosting the Alex Jones Show on Monday, that doctor talked about how a saline solution is running out, dextrose bags are running out.
They can't get IV tubing in many areas.
They're having problems with latex gloves, having problems with injectable steroids.
All kinds of things are out of the medical supply chain.
So the food supply chain is breaking down.
The medical supply chain is breaking down.
And also electronics, automobile parts, agricultural equipment parts, and of course energy on top of all of that.
Where do you think this is headed?
It's headed into a very, very, very bad place.
And my summary of it is as follows.
To anyone who does not have extra storable food, they're going to starve.
Anyone who is not out of the dollar and out of the stock market and so on, anyone who hasn't reduced their exposure to those bubbles, They're going to be financially decimated.
Anyone who does not have backup medical supplies, you might die from a simple infection.
Anyone who doesn't know how to grow some food might die from starvation.
Anyone who doesn't have some backup form of money, like gold and silver or things that you can barter and so on, you're going to be devastated, destitute.
The storm that's coming is so bad that I think even I have underestimated it.
It's going to be Horrifying.
It's going to be apocalyptic.
That's the only way to really describe it.
Now, the markets are collapsing like never before.
The Fed is about to raise interest rates by, it looks like, 75 basis points, which is 0.75%.
And there are even rumors that they may raise it 1%, which would be an absolute panic.
I'm not expecting a 1%.
I'm expecting a 0.75%.
But they may only raise it 0.5%.
We'll see.
But the markets are unraveling like never before.
Ten-year treasuries went to 3.48%.
I mean, just overnight.
And let's talk about crypto for a second.
I know I covered it yesterday, but I've got to cover it a little bit more here.
Celsius.
This is the platform that's the crypto lending and borrowing platform that announced, I think, on Sunday that you can't withdraw your money at all.
You know, you can't withdraw your crypto or your deposits.
You can't transfer them.
You can't trade them.
You can't withdraw them.
So in other words, you don't own them, Jack.
Celsius owns your crypto.
I guess maybe they should change their name to I sure wish we could Celsius.
But we can't.
Because they own all the crypto now.
So there's a really good thread, like a Twitter thread on this.
And I just want to go through this a little bit for you to explain what's happening and how this could take down much of the crypto marketplace.
So Celsius is the largest centralized gateway to crypto, apparently.
They raised $864 million of venture capital, and they controlled over $3 billion of funds for over a million customers.
But as of today, says this thread, which is from JohnWu.Aztec, As of today, quote, it appears insolvent and is taking the whole crypto market with it.
So this is a do-it-all fintech app, which means financial tech, that was supposed to give customers an easy, trusted way to use crypto services such as trading, deposits, and crypto-backed lending.
Basically, it's a custodial asset manager for crypto.
But if you look into Celsius, it smacks of the kind of...
I'll call it sort of financial transgenderism.
This fairy tale, sort of BS, left-wing, progressive nonsense.
Just this hype that's used to try to sound cool, to sound like you know what you're talking about, to sound like experts.
And there's a lot of that that's been going on in the world for quite a long time here because of all the cheap money or even free money.
And so if you read the white paper of Celsius, which is just this...
It's a sort of pathetic marketing document.
It doesn't even have any arguments that are based on reason or finance or accounting or anything.
They have these terms that talk about, oh, banking is broken, and you can, quote, unbank yourself, or you can, quote, replace Wall Street with blockchain.
And they talk about serving the 99% versus the 1%, okay?
And then they claim to have all these things.
This is also from the thread.
These are just buzzwords to make you believe that they know what they're doing.
Quote, military-grade security.
Keep your crypto safe.
Next-level transparency.
Really?
Next-level?
Next-level transparency?
And then, of course, you can, quote, withdraw your crypto at any time.
But then they promise these sky-high yields...
Combined with the so-called transparency and sky high yields means that they were paying out 18% interest on deposits that you made with them.
So you hand over your crypto to them.
They take possession of your crypto, your Bitcoin, for example, and then they pay you 18% and then they loan that out to somebody else at even higher rates.
So I'm going to simplify this because we don't have time to go into all this, but basically Celsius was taking customers' deposits and then they were using them to bet on derivative tokens that were supposed to be paying them higher yields, but these derivative tokens haven't yet come into their redemption window.
Which means they don't even have the funds.
They basically just kind of flush it into this black hole with a bunch of crazy accounting and, again, crypto derivatives.
And they were able to claim that they were solvent, but they're not.
So it turns out they made this huge bet on something called staked Ethereum.
This is the kind of derivatives instrument that can't actually be exchanged for Ethereum.
And staked Ethereum, well, Celsius has $565 million worth of this, if you believe the pricing.
But there's no liquidity in the staked Ethereum marketplace in order to convert that back into actual dollars or even other crypto.
And then Celsius has billions of dollars in other liabilities that span different assets and different protocols.
I'm reading this from the thread.
So here's the summary.
Number one, Celsius opened up a bunch of loans.
Number two, they took user deposits and then traded them for staked Ethereum.
And then three, they now owe a lot of money and don't have the reserves to pay them back.
Quote, Celsius is insolvent.
And then there's a tweet about that.
Celsius is functionally insolvent on their Ethereum position.
Only 27% of Celsius' Ethereum is liquid.
The rest is either staked Ethereum or staked in Ethereum 2.
So it's inaccessible for at least a year.
Got that?
Okay, but the story's not over, says the thread here.
This is where Celsius went from plausible oopsie to gross negligence.
As of yesterday, Celsius paused withdrawals and transfers, freezing users in place and giving them an awful choice.
Either one, they can top up their own collateral to save their own loans.
In other words, give them more money.
Or number two, they can get liquidated.
But rather than repaying their own loans, Celsius began topping up their collateral.
Why is it that negligent?
Because Celsius's lender called Maker has a minimum 150% collateral ratio on loans.
That means in order to borrow a dollar, you have to place $1.50 in collateral with them.
I know this is getting complicated.
But this is the way the crypto marketplace works.
It's a bunch of financial sleight of hand.
That's really what it is.
Now, so if you have a big outstanding loan under these circumstances, you could either repay your loan or you could put in 150% of collateral to keep the loan.
But that seems dumber than just repaying the loan, right?
So why would you ever do that?
So the founder of Celsius is now running around saying that there isn't a withdrawal freeze.
And claiming that that's people pushing FUD, which is fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Anytime you criticize crypto, they just say you're spreading FUD. Well, except Celsius announced the freeze themselves.
So I guess now they're claiming that they themselves are disinformation.
Unbelievable.
So what's about to happen...
Is that Celsius is going to disintegrate or it'll be acquired by somebody else buying up all the losses and everything just to get the name and the user base, something like that.
And a lot of people are concerned that MicroStrategies is facing massive margin calls now because Bitcoin is hovering around the low 20,000s range.
And if Bitcoin drops below $20,000 and stays there, MicroStrategies is going to get margin called big time because they're the largest Bitcoin holder.
The point is that this is all spreading.
So the collapse of Luna has spread to Celsius.
The collapse of Celsius is going to bring down Bitcoin even more.
As Bitcoin falls, MicroStrategies could be in trouble.
Tether might be in trouble depending on the level of their exposure in Celsius.
This entire thing is unraveling.
Because it's all leveraged.
And crypto is just one example of leverage and derivatives and financial sleight of hand.
But then there's the conventional market of derivatives and financial sleight of hand and the global debt market, which has only been pumped up this whole time by massive fiat currency money printing.
And the reason I'm covering both of these is I want you to understand what you are witnessing in crypto and the crypto collapse that you're about to witness Oh, and bank runs have already begun in China, which we're going to get to here in a second.
And wholesale prices have risen at record levels once again because inflation is out of control.
Crazy things there, crazy things.
So let me mention something here about a company that I love, Dawson Knives, made in the USA, you know, knives and swords and blades and so on.
And they usually, about once a month, they give me permission to share a discount code with you.
In order to save some money at DawsonKnives.com, which is their retail website.
That discount code is no longer available because of, well, essentially because of inflation.
So Dawson Knives, they're amazing.
I mean, they make incredibly high-quality knives and katanas.
They're working on some other innovative blades.
But, I mean, hunting knives and survival knives and so on.
They are by far, in my opinion...
Well, they're my favorite knife company and edge weapons.
And they have the MagnaCut alloy and the CPM-3V alloy.
I mean, these are amazing corrosion-resistant alloys.
And I think Dawson Knives has, by far, the best heat treatment system to make these alloys incredibly durable and resilient and to hold the edge but also not be too fragile and things like that.
Well...
I was asking John Roy over there, who I interview from time to time, I said, hey, do you have a discount code for our audience?
And he's like, can't do it now because we just can't keep anything in stock at all.
And right now, we're not given discount codes, but we're also...
Holding the prices, you know, where they are as best we can.
So they're trying to avoid raising prices.
They're being blown out of inventory because everybody's freaking out now about survival gear and realizing, hey, I better get a knife, man.
You know, I better have at least one really good, durable, lifetime knife.
You know, even if it does cost $300, $400, $500.
I mean, some of them are even more if they're, you know, really large and certain alloys and so on.
So people just buying the knives, they're like crazy.
It's so bad that sometimes when I try to get a knife, I have to put in an order with these guys and wait eight weeks.
And I'm one of the people helping their business grow.
I have to wait too, so don't feel bad if you have to wait for the knife you want, but go on to DawsonKnives.com, see if they have anything in inventory.
I'm told they put things back into inventory normally on Thursdays or Fridays, I think.
You might have better luck towards the end of the week and see what they have.
If you see something...
Get it.
Because you're not going to be able to get it much longer, probably.
I mean, I don't know how long they're going to be able to get this steel, frankly.
Because this steel comes out of New York and these special alloys, and they require, you know, minerals, obviously.
And these minerals require global transportation and logistics and everything.
And one of my questions is not just how is my own company going to operate as this global debt system collapses, but also how are other companies like Dawson Knives, how are they going to operate During the debt collapse, and I think the honest answer is we're all going to be shut down temporarily.
We're all going to be paused.
There's going to be a day where the banks don't work.
Just like the Celsius freeze of all the funds, you know, the crypto funds, there's going to be a freeze of the banking system, I believe.
And when that day comes, none of us will be able to function.
None of us will be able to sell anything.
We won't be able to process credit cards.
Which means that everything that relies on transactions, I mean everything from buying gasoline, buying groceries, paying for transportation, paying for web hosting, paying salaries of employees, paying the government for, you know, your license tags or whatever, paying your taxes, paying your property taxes, anything that you need to pay or need to transact in, you know, paying a hospital bill, whatever, you won't be able to do it for a while.
It's not going to last forever.
But the bank holiday will shut down the transactional system.
And when that day comes, it doesn't matter what's in inventory at the grocery store.
Even if they have tampons at the time.
Back in stock, tampons for all!
Even, I'm wondering, do they have tampons for Lindsey Graham?
And, let's see, who are the other sissy rhinos that need some tampons?
Um...
Oh, yeah, that Utah senator, Mitt Romney.
Tampons for Romney, man.
We need to get him a bag of tampons.
But even if they have tampons back in stock, you're not going to be able to buy anything because the transaction system won't function.
Unless you have cash and you happen to find a store, maybe a small local store, that's still taking cash.
But there are going to be so few of those, they're going to shut down or get robbed.
Because desperate, crazy people with plenty of firepower are going to show up and say, give me all your tampons.
We ran out at the house.
Give me tampons and that bag of potato chips right over there.
They're going to get robbed.
This is the moment where you want to be at home hiding your storable food.
And this moment is coming, and it's going to take everybody by surprise.
And I'm telling you this in advance because I've known for a long time this is where it's going.
It's going to be for a while a Mad Max-style collapse scenario in the United States, and not everybody's going to make it through that.
I mean, it's going to be chaos, and I think that this is all being designed to take place before the midterm elections.
Also, one more reason to grow food.
So I'll mention Marjorie Wildcraft again.
She's a sponsor of Brighteon, icangrowfood.com.
You know, go there, watch the video, register there for free, watch the free video, learn how to grow a lot of food in a small amount of space.
And she does offer some other programs and videos and courses and things like that if you choose to be a customer of hers.
She can teach you how to stay alive.
She's a serious person.
In fact, you know what?
I'm scheduled to interview her again in a few days here, and I want to ask her about how do you grow food in a supply chain collapse and what items should people get first?
Like, if you have a limited budget and you need to stock up on certain things in order to grow food, like, what tools do you need exactly?
What's the bare minimum that you need?
I mean, you need a shovel, probably, right?
But what else do you need?
What's the bare minimum that you need to grow food?
But check out her website, icangrowfood.com.
You're going to learn a lot there, and that may very well save your life.
Now, how bad is it going to get in America?
Check out this story from The New American.
Californians are relocating to Mexico to avoid inflation and crime.
Alright, so it's so bad in California that people are fleeing to Mexico.
According to a CNBC report, it's titled, The California Exodus Continues as Residents Head South of the Border.
A rising number of former Californians are migrating out of the country altogether.
And are instead heading south of the border.
Let's see, Baja 123 real estate group is quoted here.
I would say at least half are coming down from California.
Suddenly the cost of taxes, the crime rates, the politics, all the things that people are unhappy with in California, they're coming down to Mexico.
And I say, go for it.
For the people who destroyed California, we don't want you to come to Texas.
You know, don't come to Texas unless you are a real Texan at heart.
I mean, don't come to Texas unless you're pro-Second Amendment, pro-America, pro-Liberty, you know, pro-rural agriculture.
Don't come to Texas if you're not willing to eat a hamburger, let's say.
You know, just don't come to Texas.
You're in the wrong place if you come to Texas and you want to convert it into another failed California.
So some of these people going to Mexico, I bet the Mexicans are not very happy about that either.
It's like, these dang Californians coming down here.
These Cali gringos coming down here and ruining Mexico.
So apparently rent is so high in California now, and you know the average rent is $2,000 a month nationwide, and a lot of people are paying $3,000 a month in California or more.
You can go to Mexico and for about $1,000 a month or less, you can rent a fairly nice place and get along well down there.
You know, your money...
Goes, well, further in Mexico.
But then again, I don't think they let you have guns, do they?
Because there's no Second Amendment in Mexico.
I don't think you can just bring your AK with you and your AR. But then again, I guess if they're in California, they're used to not having guns, maybe.
I don't know.
Why would you move somewhere where you can't own guns?
I don't understand that at all.
But hey, if you like guns and you like America, then consider taxes.
If you don't like guns, go somewhere else, because we're all armed around here, as you know very well.
But you see, this is part of the, well, economic refugee phenomenon.
People are fleeing California, and it's going to get a lot worse, because what's about to happen is Is mass layoffs and firings.
People are going to lose their jobs across America like never before.
How do we know that?
Well, for one, it's already begun, but as consumer demand is plunging because of high inflation, then all the retailers are going to have less business, and the manufacturers will have less business, and the truckers are already going bankrupt because they don't have the transportation demand, by the way.
And all across the country, retailers and manufacturers and service industry companies, they're going to be laying off like crazy.
Unemployment is going to skyrocket in America at the same time that inflation is skyrocketing.
So unemployment is going to exceed 25% in my estimation.
And then also inflation is going to exceed 25%.
Now, official inflation numbers will never show that, but reality inflation will be over 25%.
I mean, it's real close to that right now.
It's probably close to 20%, maybe higher.
It just depends, I guess, on what kinds of things you purchase.
But think about it.
In the Great Depression, unemployment was only in the 20s.
So we're going to have unemployment levels that exceed the Great Depression.
We're going into a greater depression or a worse depression, also with a tampon shortage, which has never happened before, and an infant formula shortage, and an insane Alzheimer's fake president calling the shots and trying to start World War III. That's never happened before either.
And bank runs are coming to America.
Now, they've already begun in China.
This is from asiamarkets.com.
There's a run on Chinese banks, and it's being ignored by the world.
That's the article's title.
In the anatomy of an economic crisis, a bank run is the point of no return.
In recent years, it has become clear, says the article, that Chinese people are losing faith in their financial institutions.
A lot of anger over the harsh COVID lockdowns in Shanghai and then the collapse of Evergrande saw public demonstrations as residents face the prospect of losing their life savings.
So here's the heart of the story.
Multiple sources contacted by Asia markets have confirmed that deposits at the following six banks have been frozen since mid-April.
That's the Yuzhou Xinminshan Village Bank.
I'm doing my best on the Chinese pronunciation.
I don't know the tones of these, so I'm just guessing.
The Zhecheng Huanghui Bank of Shanggui, Henan Province.
Okay.
Shangcai Huimin Rural Bank.
Never heard of that.
The New Oriental Village Bank of Kaifeng, Henan Province.
The Huaihe River Village Bank in Beng...
What is this?
Bengbu City, Anhui Province.
And the Yixian County Village Bank in Huangshan City, Anhui Province.
Okay.
I'm doing my best on those.
A lot of those words mean rivers and mountains and stuff, by the way.
Like, He is river and Shan is mountain.
So that's why they're named these things.
It's like, you know, the big river bank of whatever.
But the point is that they've all suspended withdrawals.
So that's the bail-in that Celsius is doing in the crypto markets.
But at these banks, now they're just saying, well, yeah, we have your money, but we're not going to let you have it.
And they're stating that they have suspended online banking and mobile banking due to a system upgrade.
Oh, right, right.
So you call your bank.
You're like, can I take my money out?
No.
You're like, why not?
Oh, because we are upgrading the computer.
You're like, no, what do you mean?
Give me my money.
Oh, no, computer.
That's system failure.
And you're like, no, no, no.
Seriously, give me my money.
What do you mean system failure?
Oh, it's a Microsoft system.
Blue screen of death, huh?
You know, I believe that.
And so, let's see, depositors rushed to their local bank branches only to be told that they were unable to withdraw funds.
Oh, I need an upgrade.
Oh, waiting for an upload.
Waiting for...
You know how sometimes you try to shut down your Windows laptop, and then it says, please wait, downloading updates, installing updates, and it takes three hours, and you're just trying to, like, go to the airport or something?
You ever had that happen?
This is what the banks are saying.
Oh, you cannot have your money.
We're going to do updates.
And then they just tell you, yeah, good luck.
Basically, they're just giving you the finger.
Just saying, ah, screw you, you cannot have your money.
But by the way, I'm not mocking the Chinese for this scenario because frankly, what America has done is far worse.
America has been printing money by the trillions and pumping up this Ponzi stock market scheme.
So there's a crypto bubble and there's a stock market bubble and there's a real estate bubble and there's a bond bubble.
The debt bubble is the biggest bubble of all, by the way, and that's America.
So if you think I'm making fun of the Chinese, I'm not.
Actually, the Chinese may be the ones that make it through all of this, and the Americans are going to be in such horrible shit.
They're going to be completely losing their minds.
What happened to our money?
Well, it's gone, sucker, because the big banks just took it.
Well, continuing in this article, the bank run contagion to, quote, sweep across China.
The developments raise serious concerns about the health of China's regulatory oversight, But the bigger concern is the prospect of contagion, which could see these rural bank runs spread to bigger cities, and there's already evidence that this is happening.
And then they quote the Financial Times.
And they talk about how some depositors have lost trust in the system.
People are taking their money out.
And then they're being told by the banks that sometimes you can't take it out.
Sometimes the systems are locked up.
So then, by the way, a blogger and whistleblower, Jennifer Zeng, has reported these issues about withdrawing cash from banks in Shanghai.
She says, quote, all banks in Shanghai have restricted depositors from withdrawing money.
A bank run is about to sweep China.
Yeah.
And then the article goes on to talk about World Bank exposures to Chinese banks.
So think about the common theme that I'm sharing with you here today, whether it's crypto, stock market, Chinese banks, American banks, fiat currencies, real estate markets, whatever.
This whole system of global debt is unraveling.
And each failure, each insolvency or bankruptcy over here in one place spreads to another.
And then that goes down, that craters in a month or two.
And then that spreads to something else because everything is interdependent.
The central bank of Japan is on the verge of insolvency right now.
Japan may have a financial collapse this summer.
The euro may cease to exist before the end of this coming winter, and the global banking system may actually freeze up, I mean, potentially even before the midterms, although it's hard to know when.
They can do a lot of extreme things to try to keep the system working for a while, but they can't stop it forever.
But the cracks are starting to show, and the contagion is starting to spread.
And so these are your warning signs.
Well, actually, here, let me read you some more headlines from CNBC. The Fed may hike rates by three quarters of a point.
Coming this week here, that might happen, I think, isn't the meeting today?
U.S. bonds for 10-year treasuries.
They've hit 3.45%.
The Wholesale Producer Price Index rose 10.8% in May, almost the highest ever.
That's an annual increase in producer prices.
Coinbase has just laid off 18% of its staff as executives prepare for a recession, what they're calling a, quote, crypto winter.
Yeah, the crypto winter...
Oh, and if that wasn't interesting enough, check out this headline from Wirepoints.org.
Electricity costs are rising 50% in much of Illinois.
And the risk of brownouts looms.
So Illinois, which is run by lunatic libtard morons, You know, in Chicago, Democrats, totally corrupt, just a bunch of criminals and thugs.
And if you live in Illinois, you should get out of there.
That's just my opinion.
But they've been trying to move over to, you know, green energy, which doesn't work.
And so now they're being warned by the mid-continent independent system operator called MISO, which oversees the power grid for Illinois and much of the Midwest.
MISO, they put out a warning that said, essentially...
There are too many coal power plants that are being shut down, and, quote, we're seeing these retirements occur at a faster pace than expected.
Oh, here it is, quote, the typical residential customer in the Ameren, Illinois, service territory is expected to see a 54% increase in their energy bill starting June of 2022.
That's right now.
And the actual impact will depend on the amount of energy used.
Oh, and they're going to have rolling blackouts, too, as things get worse.
So, you know, welcome to Illinois.
Welcome to the Miso electricity operator.
Miso happy to pay 50% more on electricity.
Oh, Miso happy to live in Illinois, a fascist state run by left-wing lunatic tyrants and corrupt criminals.
And I bet eventually Miso happy to sell my property in Illinois and get the heck out of there.
Because that's the only rational thing to do.
You've got to get out of Illinois because it's going to collapse financially.
And by the way, Illinois' pension program is already on the verge of collapse.
So if you're collecting a pension in Illinois of any kind, I mean, you know, police pension, school teacher pension, whatever, government worker pension, you can kiss it goodbye.
Because Illinois, the state of Illinois, has already spent it, and they're not going to rescue you.
They're just going to bail out themselves, their own little corrupt little fiefdom.
They're not going to bail you out at all.
Oh, and here's something else, just in case you thought this couldn't get more interesting.
A story from a website I had not seen before, farsnews.ir.
That's F-A-R-S, farsnews.ir.
Report, Russia could shut down a huge chunk of U.S. power grid in one move.
And this story is out of Tehran.
So I guess this is an Iranian website.
Yeah, that makes sense,.ir.
This is from Iran.
So, you know, take it with a grain of salt.
Is this Iran spinning things?
But here's what they say.
They say that the American nuclear industry depends on enriched uranium that's processed by Russia.
And if Russia simply decides to stop sending this enriched uranium to the United States, then the U.S. won't be able to run many of its nuclear power plants.
Quote, And this is apparently based on a report from The Hill.
Although I haven't confirmed that yet, but The Hill reports about Russia's nuclear power dominance.
So in that article to talk about how Russia only mines 6% of the world's uranium, but it controls 40% of the global uranium conversion market and 46% of the total uranium enrichment capacity for the world.
So if you thought that Russia only controlled energy like, you know, oil, natural gas, diesel, What else are they exporting?
Or other forms of energy?
No, it's also nuclear energy, which I did not know until now.
I was not aware of that.
So, what's Europe going to do?
What's Western Europe going to do?
They cut off all the energy from Russia, and then they erected all these solar panels, but then the sun don't shine 24-7.
And they built all these wind turbines, but the wind don't blow all the time.
And And then they're shutting down most of their nuclear power plants, too, because some of the anti-nuclear environmentalists, for some reason, they think nuclear is bad as well, even though nuclear has no carbon emissions and is the least polluting form of energy that we know of today, other than, you know, hot fusion or free energy.
That if you're an environmentalist, you should be pro-nuclear, right?
As a way to get off of fossil fuels, if that's your thing.
But no, they hate nuclear, too.
Pretty much, I think, environmentalists just hate civilization.
They just hate all forms of energy.
They're like, shut it all down.
Let's dig up gallium from dirty mines to make solar panels.
Let's just cover all the farm fields with solar panels so they can't grow food.
You notice that, too?
They just want to buy up farms and install solar panels everywhere.
So you're going to have electricity even though you're starving to death and they want to take the corn and burn it for fuel.
It's like burning up the food supply.
Are you people stupid?
You're just suicidal.
I mean, they're burning up the corn.
It's called ethanol.
It's a government policy.
Why am I not surprised?
It's like every decision that is made out there, it's like it's designed to destroy human civilizations.
It's also designed to make you, you know, furious about all these things because it's so nonsensical.
But anyway, I guess if Russia just says, hey, we're going to We're going to not send you any more enriched uranium than America's nuclear power plants.
Guess they all have to shut down too.
So, oh, it's unreal.
It's like, did anybody in the Biden administration think about our dependence on Russia before we cut off Russia from the SWIFT system?
Did anybody consider any of that?
Did anybody consider what would happen to fuel prices in America or supply chains or fertilizer or crops or anything?
No, of course not.
They're Democrats.
They don't think about things.
They just go with their gut, you know, just their emotion.
It just feels right.
Let's just do it, man.
That's what they do.
It just feels right.
Let's just say it's that way.
Let's just call it that.
You know, like men can get pregnant too, right?
You know, that's the way they are.
It's like Valley guy mentality or Valley girl.
Like, oh my God, it's just so amazing.
I mean, for people like you and I to even see the world the same way that these leftists see the world, we would have to take a pair of surgical scissors and sever maybe like half of the neurons in our brain.
Just like snippety-snip, cut them off.
And then with maybe half your brain functioning, you might say, oh, I see what they mean.
Okay.
Or you might have to disconnect 90% of your brain.
But you would have to induce a whole lot of brain damage to be able to get to their level, to see the world and process the world the way they do, because they're not using their brains at all.
And this is obvious.
They have no planning capabilities.
They cannot anticipate anything.
They do not understand cause and effect.
They have no understanding of repercussions.
Democrats will push laws and policies based on how they feel about their intentions.
We want it to be this way, but they will never look at the actual outcomes of those policies like, did it work?
Did the homeless help bill, did it actually reduce the number of homeless?
They never look at the results.
And so their bad policies continue because we want to help the homeless.
We want to help the homeless.
Let's just have more homeless money.
So they pass more homeless bills and they throw all this money at all these special interest groups.
And then they look out on the streets two years later and the homeless have doubled.
They're like, you know, a normal rational person would say, hey, your homeless bill didn't work.
There's more homeless bills.
They're worse off now.
Well, it's just the intention that counts.
It's the thought that counts.
We're compassionate.
We're trying.
No, you're ruining everything is actually what you're doing.
You're ruining everything.
There's no accountability because they're only driven by their emotions, not results.
This is why Biden can't even admit that food prices are higher because of his policies or energy prices are higher, even though he shut down all these pipelines.
But he can't admit it.
You know, so they call it a Putin tax.
It's Putin's fault.
No, Biden, you shut down the pipelines.
I mean, come on.
So the bottom line, folks, is you got to get ready.
And you probably are more ready than most.
But if you've been listening to this for a while, you've heard my warnings before, and you might have dismissed them.
You might have said, because I've heard this reaction from people like, oh, it couldn't be that bad.
How is Mike describing that world?
How could it be that bad?
But now more and more I hear, oh, oh, it's getting that bad.
Maybe the health ranger was actually an optimist with the situation update.
Maybe that was a half glass full kind of interpretation.
Because it looks like in some ways it's going to be a lot worse.
And that's actually true.
I don't actually describe what I think is the worst case scenario, usually.
I don't even mention it.
Because the worst case scenario is almost pointless to talk about.
Worst case scenario is, you know, we're all offline.
Nothing works.
There's no supply chain.
Massive population collapse.
Chaos, lawlessness, you know, all that.
Mad Max.
That's the worst case scenario.
And I hope that doesn't happen, but I'm certain it will in certain areas.
It will happen.
Not in every area, but in some, absolutely.
So a lot of this comes down to where you are.
And for those Californias fleeing to Mexico, guess what?
You don't want to be the foreigner when the system collapses, turns out.
When the rule of law collapses and the United States collapses and you're a foreigner in Mexico, you will have no protection because the U.S. embassy won't be functioning.
And you're the foreigner and your place will get looted, you know, very likely.
I mean, it depends on where you are and I guess your relationship with locals and so on.
But one of my rules of thumb is never be the foreigner when things collapse.
Be somebody who kind of fits in wherever you are.
You know, somebody who's not going to be looked at in a predatory manner.
Like, oh, we've always wanted to take that guy's gold.
We're pretty sure he's got gold and guns somewhere, maybe hiding under his mattress.
Let's go rob his place and, you know, see what he's got in there.
You don't want to be that person.
You want to be somewhere where you fit in.
The truth in all of this is right now you only have X number of days to prepare before the big event, the big collapse.
And we don't know what X is exactly, but we know it's a small number.
Is it a three-digit number?
Maybe.
It's probably not a four-digit number.
It might be a two-digit number.
You might have fewer than 99 days.
You might have 120 days.
We're not sure.
But it's a fixed number, and that number is getting smaller by one with each passing day.
And we won't know, of course, what the number was until the day comes, and then it's zero.
It's like, oh boy, here you go.
Now you get to survive off the food you stockpiled, you know, the ammunition you have, the body armor that you have.
You get to survive on all this stuff because you're not going to be able to get anything else.
It's important to have all the right stuff at that time and be in the right place, have all the mentality, everything that we've talked about.
You can download all my survival books if you're not up to speed on all that.
Check out my book, Resilient Prepping.
Right?
That's a popular one, resilientprepping.com.
And get prepared because the number of days remaining is running out quickly.
And just a real quick little directory then on survival supplies and so on.
If you want the folding AR-15s that I'm going to do a video on here soon, a little video review, shieldarms.com.
It's fantastic.
