Situation Update, 7/12/22 - China bank collapse under way...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the situation update for Tuesday, July 12th, 2022.
Mike Adams here, and I am back in my regular recording location after being on the road.
And thank you for your patience.
I had a couple of short podcasts because of that and some weird recording situations.
For security reasons, I can never talk about where I am today.
When I'm actually there or even before I go there, but I can tell you after, I was taking a road trip through Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
And in fact, let me show you a picture here of some of the corn that I saw in, this was in Oklahoma, and it's bad.
So the first photo here, this photo shows the fields of corn throughout Oklahoma, and also some of this is in North Texas as well.
And as you can see, they're quite dry.
They're short, too.
I mean, these corn plants, I would say, are averaging maybe 40 inches high.
And they should be more like, you know, 70 plus.
Or maybe even more.
So they're maybe half the height of what they should be.
And, of course, they're very brown.
But as you can see from the next photo, which is corn photo two, that's me holding the husk of a corn cob that was produced by these plants.
So even though there is an extreme drought in Texas and Oklahoma and many areas of the United States, there is still some corn produced here.
It's just not a good harvest at all.
And there's almost no green remaining on these corn plants.
So yes, the drought situation is very bad.
I saw that myself.
I was driving by massive numbers of fields of corn, and none of them looked good.
It was quite bad.
Also interesting, you know, that explosion in, what was it, North Oklahoma at that liquid natural gas facility.
That explosion, remember how I said on the podcast earlier, I said that some people could actually, they could smell the burning from that?
That was actually me.
I couldn't tell you at the time, but I could smell the burning because we were driving through right there, right after that explosion.
So sure enough, it was a real explosion.
And it was very obvious.
I mean, everybody in that area, everybody driving through could tell that something was on fire.
And it smelled, actually to me, it smelled like a grass fire.
So I wonder if there was a lot of grass that burned near that.
It did not smell like a plastics fire or chemical fire or a household fire.
It smelled like a, frankly, like a wild grass fire, but I didn't see any grass on fire.
And that was right as we were driving through that specific town.
And then lastly, I want to show you a piece of graffiti from the restroom of a Shell station somewhere in Oklahoma.
So as you can see with graffiti, it has to have all kinds of grammatical errors as well in order to be authentic graffiti.
And this one says, what a stupid SOB in the White House.
And if you vote this way, you're, that's Y-O-U-R, you're a stupid SOB like Joe Biden.
Of course, whoever wrote this is just as stupid for not knowing that the word your is the wrong word here, obviously.
Should be, you know, Y-O-U apostrophe R-E. So anyway, there's also a tic-tac-toe game that has been completed at the bottom of this graffiti.
So I thought it was just classic sort of Midwest Oklahoma graffiti.
I thought I would have to show you that for some kicks and giggles.
So there you go.
In that same restroom, by the way, someone had carved Go Brandon into the toilet paper dispenser, which I thought was pretty funny, if you consider what the use of the toilet paper is for.
It's like, Go Brandon, go!
So, yeah, people do have a sense of humor also in the Midwest.
So I want to jump into one of the most significant news stories that deserves a lot more coverage here.
And this was reported by Newsweek, and the published date is July 1st.
It talks about how China is inviting Saudi Arabia to join the BRICS organization, which is really an anti-West, multipolar, geopolitical force of countries.
So they're coming together to essentially denounce the dollar and also to counter the imperialism and the weaponization of finance by the West, which is, of course, very well demonstrated by what the U.S. and NATO have been doing to try to cut off Russia from international trade very well demonstrated by what the U.S. and NATO have been doing to try to cut off Russia
So in this Newsweek article, here's a quote from Mohammed Al-Hamed, president of the Saudi elite group in Riyadh, speaking to Newsweek, quote, China's invitation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to join the BRICS confirms that the kingdom has a major role in building the new world, and it became an important and essential player in global trade and economics.
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is moving forward at a confident and global pace in all fields and sectors.
And then Newsweek reports that that vision, the 2030 vision, unveiled by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, MBS, as he's known, a year before being appointed as heir to the throne and de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia in 2017, outlined a plan to diversify a year before being appointed as heir to the throne and de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia in 2017, outlined a plan to diversify his country's
So summarizing what that is so far, China is inviting Saudi Arabia to join the BRICS multipolar organization, which will make or attempt to make the West and the dollar obsolete.
And remember that the only thing that gives the dollar value on the world stage is the fact that Saudi Arabia and OPEC nations have for decades agreed to only sell oil in dollars.
So that's the petrodollar status.
And as you know, I've mentioned Operation Sandman, which is an agreement among 100-plus nations to denounce the dollar, to drop the petrodollar status.
And use other currencies in its place.
So when we're looking at China's plans for the world, it's very clear that China and Russia and now Saudi Arabia plan to make America obsolete and they plan to build their own system.
And this is now right out in the open.
It's being reported in Newsweek.
So here's the next paragraph that's also really important.
And while Crown Prince Mohammed has sought to enhance cooperation with the U.S., especially as President Joe Biden prepared this month for his first visit to the monarchy that he once branded a pariah over alleged human rights abuses, the Saudi royal has also expanded ties with especially as President Joe Biden prepared this month for his first visit to the monarchy that
Joining BRICS would demonstrate a commitment to Riyadh's resolve in dealing with other major powers and mark a significant win for the effort to boost economic frameworks established outside of the auspices of the U.S. and its immediate allies.
So when they say, this is Newsweek writing this, when Newsweek writes that this is Riyadh's or Saudi Arabia's effort to, quote, Outside the auspices of the U.S., that means dropping the dollar.
Or at least, I should say, dropping the petrodollar exclusivity status.
It's not that Saudi Arabia would reject dollars, it's just that they would welcome everything else.
And that would cause the dollar to have to compete with other currencies without the monopoly status, the hegemony status that has granted the U.S. this unique exclusive ability to print money And essentially export debt to the world.
So you have to read between the lines on all of this because Newsweek is being subtle, and also the spokesperson from Saudi Arabia is being subtle.
But they're admitting that they're dropping the petrodollar.
So here's the last quote I'm going to read you, and it's from Hamed, who we quoted earlier.
He says, quote, This accession, if Saudi joins it, will balance the world economic system.
Okay, so they're saying that the dollar...
The dollar hegemony makes it imbalanced or lopsided, but this is going to balance it by dropping the petrodollar status.
So again, it will balance the world economic system, especially since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest exporter of oil in the world, and it's in the G20. If it happens, this will support any economic movement and development in the world trade and economy, And record remarkable progress in social and economic aspects as, and this is the best part, as Saudi Arabia should have partnerships with every country in the world.
So this is them admitting that they're no longer going to grant exclusive status to the United States.
It's no longer going to be a cozy, cozy, you know, just you and me between the US and the Saudis.
Saudi Arabia is going to join in the BRICS system and this will end the petrodollar.
So once you understand this and you realize the implications, especially from some of the previous interviews that we've done with financial experts, different guests and so on, you realize that when the dollar hegemony ends, The United States will no longer be able to endlessly print money.
It will not be able to sell debt, which means the U.S. will not be able to fund the empire that currently exists, the U.S. empire, which is rooted in money printing, debt creation, exploitation of the world's resources through that debt creation. exploitation of the world's resources through that debt creation.
And regime after regime of threatening the world with military attacks, you know, coercion, gunpoint diplomacy, that kind of thing.
And this massive ability to bribe everybody, you know, to pay people off, to have kickbacks and bribes, because, hey, if the money can be printed at no cost, essentially, but it still has value, then, of course, they're going to have kickbacks and bribes and so on.
What do you think all this funding for Ukraine is?
It's like every week or two Joe Biden announces, oh, another $400 million for Ukraine, another $800 million.
Or even billions.
Where do you think that money is going, folks?
It's not going to the soldiers on the front lines of Ukraine.
That's just, frankly, those are the elite connected criminals looting the system before the collapse.
That's all that is.
It's like stagecoach wagons full of gold looting the vaults of the town and getting out of Dodge before the whole thing collapses.
That's all that is.
The U.S. isn't interested in helping Ukraine.
The U.S. is only interested in staying in power through bribery, corruption, payoffs and coercion, anything like that.
But that ability will end when the Saudis reject the dollar and all these other countries follow.
So we've been talking about this scenario for quite some time.
Here in Newsweek is...
More proof that that's exactly what's happening.
It's a slow process, but it is happening right before our very eyes.
Now let me explain a critical dynamic here that involves the dollar, gold, the euro, the yen, and other international currencies.
So the masses, when I say the masses, in this case I mean investors.
The investing masses are wrong about the flight to the safety of the dollar.
So what's happening right now internationally is as Europe is crumbling because of its energy crisis and food crisis, many investors are fleeing the euro and they're jumping into the dollar as a kind of safe haven currency.
This is why the dollar appears strong.
It has been this way for many weeks now.
This is also why gold appears weak.
So this is why gold and silver are going down in dollar denominations, although it's a very temporary thing.
But it's because the dollar is looking very, very strong against other world currencies because people are freaking out about the yen in Japan.
People are freaking out about the euro and other currencies, and they're jumping into the dollar because they think the dollar has this petrodollar status with Saudi Arabia.
But Saudi Arabia is telling us just blatantly now, well, we're no longer going to exclusively recognize just the dollar.
So the investing masses of the world are wrong about the dollar being a safe haven.
They're going to lose big time.
They've made a horrible decision.
They've jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
They've jumped into the currency that's going to collapse, which is the dollar.
Now, it may take longer for the dollar to collapse compared to the euro or the yen.
You know, we've talked about this before, but the euro is going to collapse and There's no question that that's coming, and it could happen in 2023.
The yen is on the verge of collapse any day.
We've also got bank runs happening in China, which we're going to talk about here.
The China system is on the verge of collapse because most of the money, the actual deposits, have been looted by the Communist Party over there.
Plus, you've got Evergrande and the whole property Ponzi scheme situation, the property developer companies.
China is suffering an economic collapse that could spread dramatically into a China contagion.
But at the same time, massive money printing is also destroying the value of the dollar.
So to summarize, the only reason the dollar looks strong right now is because everybody's fleeing these other currencies, okay?
And that's making gold look weak.
In reality, and where this is going to go inevitably, is that the dollar collapses, the euro collapses, the yen collapses, gold and silver shine.
Gold and silver hold value, which is all they're designed to do, and they do extraordinarily well in the long run as all these fiat currencies collapse.
While China, I don't think China is going to suffer a total collapse, but China will suffer a massive economic setback, kind of on par with what happened to Japan in 1989 with the collapse of the Nikkei at that time.
Remember, it took nearly 30 years for Nikkei to recover from the 1989 crash.
And also, remember that the Nikkei crash in 1989 was very strongly tied into real estate, the real estate bubble in Tokyo.
At one point, the value of real estate in Tokyo alone was more than the value of all the real estate in Australia combined.
Some fact like that, I may not have it exactly correct, but if you look at the peak in 1989, there was so much money in real estate in Tokyo because the bubble was so massive that people were taking out loans on the perceived value of there was so much money in real estate in Tokyo because the bubble was And they were using the borrowed money to buy up property in California, in Canada, in Australia, and all over the world.
And it was believed at that time, like in the mid-1980s towards 1989, it was believed by people in Australia, for example, that a Japanese invasion was happening and that Japan was going to take over Australia and own everything.
Well, that ended with the collapse in 1989.
Today, there's a feeling in Australia that China is running a similar kind of invasion and has infiltrated the politics of Australia, which is true.
But China is going to suffer an economic reset of sorts, which will also set China back many decades.
So what's really going to happen in the world, in my assessment, is an ending of the global debt machine that This is going to cause the world to move into more of a multipolar financial slash geopolitical environment or ecosystem,
which will actually, in fact, I think theoretically and also practically, it will be a more free world because the world dominated by the dollar is a world enslaved by the neocons and the so-called liberal world order.
And I'm not the only one who sees this.
If any currency dominates the world, that's bad.
That's evil.
Because the country that can print that currency will exploit it And we'll leverage it and weaponize it against others.
And that's what the United States has done for decades, frankly, since 1971.
That's coming to an end.
But because the U.S. was able to do that, the American people were able to live these extraordinary lifestyles to be able to purchase goods, consumer goods, very cheaply, even automobiles.
And even oil, gasoline, everything was cheap.
Food was cheap.
Housing was relatively affordable, except during certain bubbles and so on.
Whereas the rest of the world, it was very difficult for people to achieve that level of material wealth because they couldn't just print money and use it on the world stage to trade fiat currency for real stuff.
That right is what the United States had.
And that power or privilege, let's call it dollar privilege.
You know, instead of white privilege, it's dollar privilege.
That privilege is coming to an end.
And when it ends, it's going to bring down many currencies in the world, including the dollar, of course, but also the euro.
And it's going to thrust the American people and basically everybody in Western civilization into dire poverty.
I mean real destitution, homelessness, inability to afford even the basics of life.
Because we've been living in an artificial debt bubble.
We've been living on credit, you could say, for a very, very long time.
We've been living under an arrangement that was not fair on a global basis.
We've been getting dollar privilege.
And that's coming to an end.
And when it does, the American people, who by and large have become complacent and apathetic, are going to find themselves impoverished to a third world status.
So much of the United States is going to collapse into a third world existence.
Much of the country.
That is inevitable.
Out of that long term, there will be, you know, a new revolution, a new uprising, a new reconstruction, you could say.
Where people realize that, you know, hard work and morality and ethics and things like that actually build sustainable societies.
But we're not there yet.
Right now, we're in a decadent society, a complacent, apathetic society of grooming children forever.
Printing money where the son of the so-called president who rigged the election, the son, you probably saw this over the weekend, Hunter Biden's got more videos of him, I don't know, weighing out crack cocaine, smoking crack naked, doing all kinds of hookers and whatever.
I haven't actually bothered to watch any of that stuff because I've seen enough Hunter Biden.
I still can't erase some of those images from my mind.
And I don't want to put any more in there.
I don't want some percentage of my brain to be labeled the Hunter Biden files.
It's just too much.
I just want to delete that folder, frankly.
But it's just an example of where we are.
And that's because of easy money printing.
That's because of America's ability to coerce and threaten other countries.
That's what created Hunter Biden and the Biden crime family, by the way.
Or Jill Biden, who runs out saying that Hispanics are unique like breakfast tacos.
She said that in a speech in San Antonio.
Like, that's what you think Latinos are?
Girl, you crazy girl.
You think they're unique like breakfast tacos?
Or tacos, really?
Like, that's...
I mean, this is the leadership of America thinks that Mexicans are equivalent to breakfast tacos.
Man, it's like she should have worn a sombrero for that speech, I think, just to be fully 100% pandering.
Just go for it, Jill.
Just make a total fool out of yourself.
Unreal.
But back to the practical note here.
When all of this happens, and this is a process, It may not happen in one day but it can happen very rapidly.
It could happen over a period of several days or it might take months to play out.
But when it completes, when this runs its course, everything that you buy Could be a thousand percent more expensive.
I mean, it's just a ballpark guess.
My point is that the currency that you have in dollars is going to collapse in value so much that the things you need are going to cost a fortune compared to what they used to cost.
And so who wins in that situation?
Who wins?
It's people who were preppers, people who stockpiled before the price increases.
Once again, it comes back to prepping and having food supplies, being able to grow your own food, and converting soon-to-fail currency into other things like land or physical gold and silver or ammunition, all these things that hold value.
Whoever has the goods that hold value, which could also include real estate, residential buildings, commercial buildings, hotels, businesses, factories that produce something real, All these people are going to win big as most of society loses.
And when society loses, people are going to riot.
And the riots are already beginning on a global scale.
You know, you're watching it in Sri Lanka and many other countries around the world.
Dozens of countries are currently experiencing social unrest.
That's only going to get worse as the currencies collapse.
And, you know, I think Andy Sheckman is correct about this, that we're going to wake up one day and the banks will be frozen.
And they will say, well, you know, we're just...
We're going to do what crypto did and just freeze all withdrawals.
We've seen that in the crypto space, right, with Celsius and other platforms.
And you say, well, you know, hey, it doesn't matter how much you have with us.
We're freezing withdrawals.
We're freezing transfers and so on.
It's just frozen.
Banks are going to do that.
They're going to say, oh, don't worry.
You still have your money.
See?
See these digits on these screens, right?
You can log in and view your money.
You just can't have it.
You can't take it out.
You can't use it.
You can't go to the ATM and get cash for it.
You can't transfer it.
Yeah, it's still your money.
You just can't access it.
So is it really yours at all if you can't use it?
No, of course it isn't.
It's the banks.
That's a bail-in scenario.
That's what crypto is doing right now.
And that's what traditional banks are going to be doing more and more.
And that gets us to China because that's exactly what's happening in China right now.
They have halted withdrawals from some of these banks.
So over the weekend, Reuters was reporting that in China, let's see, depositors faced off with police on Sunday in the city of Zhengzhou, and many were injured as they were taken away.
Amid the freezing of their deposits by some rural-based banks.
The banks froze millions of dollars worth of deposits in April, telling customers they were upgrading their internal systems.
Remember that?
I mentioned that.
Back in, I think, May.
Yeah, they're saying it's an upgrade.
Kind of like the Microsoft blue screen of death upgrade, you know?
Where it says, don't turn off your computer.
We have to update your operating system.
1% completed, you know, and you're trying to make it to the airport or something.
And the update takes forever.
Well, that's what the bank said.
But it went on for months.
So it says, according to Chinese media, the frozen deposits could be worth up to $1.5 billion.
And there are three banks that are being investigated.
So about a thousand people gathered outside the Zhengzhou branch of China's central bank on Sunday to demand action.
This is in the Henan province, southwest of Beijing.
Depositors were waving banners and throwing plastic bottles at security guards and so on and so forth.
The police then announced to the protesters from a vehicle that they were an illegal assembly and would be detained and fined if they didn't leave.
Okay, you got that?
Welcome to communism.
You deposit your money in the bank that is regulated by the state.
The bank steals all your money, gives you some BS story, like, oh, we're doing a system upgrade, really?
No, you're stealing everybody's money.
And then when you protest that, the state sends out police to threaten you with arrest.
Does that sound like America these days, too?
You try to protest something being stolen like an election, and what happens?
You get arrested and you become a political prisoner.
You get thrown in the gulag.
China and the United States are both communists under these left-wing regimes.
Now, the U.S. wouldn't be communists if Trump were in office right now because he won the election.
But under the Biden regime...
Remember, Biden works for China, so the U.S. has become just an extension of Communist China.
That's why there are so many similarities between the two countries.
Now, Jennifer Deng, who I interviewed before, she tweeted out, This is huge.
Don't know how this will end.
Henan Bank is not the only one that is having problems with liquidity.
All four Chinese banks are having the same issue.
Some depositors found they can save and cannot withdraw money with their bank cards.
So, in other words, there's a China bank contagion that's taking place, and it's not just some small little minor rural fringe banks.
This is the major banks of China.
They're having a liquidity crisis in the same way that crypto is having a crisis.
There's too much leverage in the system.
Too much debt and not enough assets to meet the demands of depositors who want some of their assets back out.
And so, you see, the banking system in China is a Ponzi scheme.
So is a lot of crypto.
A lot of crypto is just a Ponzi scheme, you know, Dogecoin and so on.
A lot of U.S. banks are really Ponzi schemes that are just supported by the state.
And they're granted permission to engage in fractional reserve banking, which is a Ponzi type of structure, by the way.
And it's backed by the FDIC, which is just Ponzi insurance that will quickly run out of money when contagion spreads.
So what we really could be looking at here is global contagion, where Chinese banks fail, and then that spreads to European banks or Japan.
And then that spread to the United States and other Western nations, Australia and Canada and so on.
We're looking at a global toppling of the debt-based economic system.
Let's call it the leverage world order.
Instead of liberal world order, it's the leverage world order.
And it's coming down.
And when it does come down, once again...
What has value?
All the hard assets that we've covered every time.
You know, land, gold, and silver, and all that.
And by the way, I got the chance over the last few days to meet some listeners.
Of this podcast who are in the Midwest where I was traveling through.
And although I didn't have much time to talk with them, I wish I could have had more time.
They are 100% on board with what we're talking about here.
And they are preparing in a very wise way.
The people I met They were very open with me about what they're doing, working to protect financial assets, working to get into hard assets, ready to survive what's coming.
They understand the food shortages are beginning.
Food inflation is real.
Diesel fuel, all these things.
They see the food facilities being burned down.
They see the explosions at the energy plants and so on.
And they were sharing with me exactly what they're doing and also, in some cases, asking for my advice on what they should do next.
So I just want to tell you, if you're listening to this and you feel alone in your social circle or in your family because you're the only one that's informed about what's happening in the world or you're the only one that's taking steps...
Have no illusions.
You are not alone at all.
You are one of many, a massive group of people who are well aware of this and who are getting informed and getting prepared on a scale that you just can't believe.
And I'll tell you this, and I don't say this to brag at all, but everywhere I go, I meet people who listen to this podcast.
Everywhere I go, People see me, they say hello, they...
They tell me they love what we're doing here, and they start sharing with me some of what they're doing.
And the reason that they're able to do that, because they have this instant trust, because they know me.
They've been listening to my podcast for a long time.
They know that I share information that's pretty personal about preparedness and so on.
And so they know that they can share right back with me, and they tell me about the things that they're doing.
And I've got to say, there are a lot of people in America who are well prepared.
There are a lot of people who are going to make it And survive and even thrive.
There are people right now who are middle class people in America, let's say, you know, economically speaking, just because they may not have had big salaries or whatever.
Maybe they were a school teacher, maybe they were, you know, administrative work or whatever.
But by making the right choices, they're going to be able to become wealthy by owning hard assets that survive the financial reset.
Remember, most Americans are going to be financially destroyed by what's coming.
Never forget that.
Yet, if you take the right steps, like what we've talked about, you will...
It's like having a life raft as the Titanic goes down.
You've got a life raft, well, maybe like a motorboat.
You can still get around and you're not going to sink into the freezing Atlantic waters.
And you might be able to help save others as well.
But you are well positioned.
You're going to be able to pick up assets for pennies on the dollar.
You're going to be able to trade gold coins for assets.
And so sometimes people ask me, you know, hey, Mike, I bought some gold and then it went down.
Like, what do you mean it went down?
Where did it go?
No, it went down in terms of dollars.
And I asked them, are you planning on trading gold for dollars in the future?
No.
They're like, no, I'm not.
Well, why are you concerned about what's happening with gold versus dollars?
You know, if you're smart, you're going to use that gold in the future to trade it for land or vehicles or businesses or other big assets.
And has gold gone down compared to land or businesses or assets on a global scale?
And if they're honest about it, they'll answer, no, gold has not gone down.
Gold's only gone down against the dollar because the dollar is going up because the people of the world think the dollar is the safe haven.
And that's temporary.
Well, if you're not going to trade gold for dollars, it doesn't matter what the dollar denomination price is.
You're going to trade gold for real stuff, especially as the collapse or the reset gets underway and a lot of people are needing to unload their assets so they can buy food or whatever or pay rent.
So there are going to be many, many people, formerly wealthy people, who will be shedding assets like crazy.
And then there will be formerly non-wealthy people who got into gold and silver and hard assets who will become wealthy.
So there's going to be this massive transfer of assets from the hands of the non-prepared into the hands of the well-prepared.
That's part of the Great Reset, believe it or not.
And it's not that we want the Great Reset to happen.
We absolutely do not.
I don't want to see anybody suffer.
I don't want to see anybody lose assets.
But the globalists are carrying this out.
It's coming.
In fact, it's in motion now.
And if we position ourselves correctly, we can navigate this and we can actually end up holding many of the assets that other people let go of.
Like land, for example.
And as they say, In a cosmic karma kind of way, the assets will tend to seek out the people who can best care for them.
I know that's not always true.
There are exceptions, like rich, horrible, evil people, like globalists.
But, by and large, if you are sort of cosmically able to be responsible to handle more wealth, more assets...
Especially as you express your maturity and your compassion and empathy in owning those assets, you will find yourself attracting more and more assets.
I don't mean to sound new-agey or anything on that.
It's more like a God thing.
It's like God wants you to be wealthy if you show the kind of character that Of someone who can handle more assets and is able to put them to good use for the betterment of everybody around you.
Whereas greed-driven, short-sighted people who had a lot of stuff, maybe they inherited, I don't know, a bunch of oil money or something, and they were rich, but they were oblivious, so they're going to lose a lot of their assets, and they're going to go into the hands of people like you who are prepared.
And the vehicle through which that exchange happens is probably going to be gold and silver, which also could eventually be exchanged for some new currency at very favorable rates if you have the gold.
Whoever owns the gold is going to own the future world.
That much is clear.
And that's why central banks are buying gold and silver like crazy.
That's why globalists are loading up on gold and silver.
And whenever gold and silver get cheaper in dollars, it's just...
An even better opportunity to get them more cheaply.
The gold and silver are on sale.
So as an example of where all this is going, here's a story from DNAIndia.com.
Sri Lanka crisis.
Bakery shelves to empty in the next two to three days amid severe food shortage.
As per the president of Al Ceylon Bakery Owners Association, 50% of the bakery's production has stopped amid Sri Lanka's fuel crisis.
They said this on Sunday that bakery products, including bread, would be emptied from the shelves in the next two to three days.
The president of that group, Jaya Wardina, said that bread may disappear due to the prevalent fuel crisis and the shortage and price increase of all ingredients, also reported in the Daily Mirror.
The president of that group said, I mentioned earlier that the bakery industry is facing a serious threat and would collapse due to the prevalent fuel crisis.
So, right, you have no fuel, you have no food.
You have no fuel, you have no ingredients to make bread, even.
Bread is pretty simple to make.
But if you have no fuel...
There you go.
So Sri Lanka is in a state of total collapse, economic collapse, geopolitical collapse, and also, you know, food infrastructure collapse.
It's not clear how this is going to be reversed either, by the way.
The story ends with the following, quote, some 6.2 million Sri Lankans, or 3 in 10 households, okay, 30% of the country, are unsure of where their next meal is coming from, according to the latest food insecurity assessment from the World Food Program, WFP. You got that?
What do you think is going to happen in America when one-third of the American people don't know where their next meal is coming from?
Or Canada, or the UK for that matter.
We're talking about massive social unrest, revolts, uprisings, revolutions even.
And you know this saying, nine meals away from anarchy, right?
Every nation is nine meals away from anarchy.
And when the food stops, the violence begins.
And this is being done deliberately to all of us.
So I know that the topics, just in summary, I know the topics that we've covered today are things that you've heard before in this podcast, but in many cases you heard them previously as theory or as my analysis.
And someone can always say, oh, well, that's just what the health ranger believes, but we don't see any evidence that that's happening, right?
Well, now the evidence is in our faces.
So now, all these scenarios that I've talked about, food inflation, fuel scarcity, global social unrest, revolts, and the coming currency collapse, and the Saudis moving away from the dollar hegemony, and all of this, we're seeing it happen with our own eyes day by day.
So this takes it out of the theory category and puts it in the, oh my God, it's really happening category.
That's why it's astonishing to me that even in this environment, there are still people who are not yet convinced that they need to prepare for the collapse of food, the collapse of currency, the collapse of energy.
And if you're a European listening to this, and you're not preparing for a total energy collapse, then my goodness, what's it going to take?
I mean, you're about to be in a world war with Russia here, and Russia's going to cut off Probably all energy to Western Europe.
And it's not going to be a pretty picture there.
But those who are prepared are going to do well.
That's the good news in all of this.
And preparedness requires foreknowledge.
And foreknowledge is...
One of my specialties.
That's what I offer to you each day is a look ahead at what's coming.
And you've seen it.
How many times have you looked in the media and you've seen a story admitted in the media that you heard here three or four or six months ago?
How many times that happened?
Over and over again, right?
And what you're hearing here today is what the mainstream media will be reporting six months later or even a year later.
So this is the benefit of having that foreknowledge, really knowing what's coming, and then already seeing the evidence of it rolling out in front of you so we can see the early part of it.
It's kind of like if you're wondering, let's say that you're in a room and there's a giant octopus that's trying to get into your room.
For whatever reason, I know it's a weird scenario, but let's say, how about this?
You're on a ship, and a giant octopus has attacked your ship for some reason, and they're trying to get into the ship's control room, right?
And you've heard about octopi before, and you know what they look like, but you still haven't seen a giant octopus trying to attack your ship.
And then, suddenly, a large tentacle, Comes into, like opens the door and wiggles its way into your control room, and you can see all the little tentacle suction, I don't know what they're called, little suction devices on the tentacle, and it's a squid-looking, flinging tentacle thing, and you're like, man, that's an octopus tentacle.
And then you hear a pounding on the door, and something is trying to get in.
Even though you're only seeing one tentacle, you can pretty much assume that attached to that tentacle is a giant octopus.
Or maybe I should have used squid as an example.
Giant squid, I think, have historically attacked seafaring vessels, at least in the historical record.
But you get my point.
You don't have to see the whole octopus to know there's an octopus trying to get in.
And that's the situation with the global collapse that's coming.
You can see the signs now.
You see enough of it to know there's a monster attached to all the evidence that's right in front of you right this minute.
So be prepared for that monster to come, and you can ride it out.
You can survive it.
We all can.
So the solutions to all of this are, they're not going to change.
It's the same solution set that I've been hammering day after day.
It's the same thing, except just a little twist I'll mention.
You know how we talk about getting gold and silver to the extent that you can?
To have that as a safety net, right?
To set that aside.
But did you know that given the price of food and where that's going, that if you grow food, it's kind of like growing gold.
I know it's a metaphor, but The price of food is going to go so high that just growing food will save you a fortune.
You'll be able to grow a treasure in terms of the food cost.
Very easily for pennies on the dollar.
That's why I've strongly encouraged everybody to learn how to grow food and practice it and add that to your list of skills and make that part of your everyday life.
That's going to serve you very, very well.
And you can't eat gold, but you can sure eat food.
In fact, you need to eat food.
So think about growing food as a way of kind of Harvesting golden sunshine through Mother Nature, through foods, to create abundance that is in some ways more valuable than gold.
And then think about gold itself, physical gold coins, as a representation of wealth that can be exchanged with anyone else and is very portable and in a high-density format.
So one gold coin could represent thousands of dollars worth of food.
Especially as the dollar keeps losing value over the medium term here.
And it's very easy to put a gold coin in your pocket, but very difficult to put thousands of dollars of potatoes in your pocket.
So hence the usefulness of gold and silver.
So my solutions are not going to change.
It's the same solutions.
Icangrowfood.com to learn how to grow food or Teach yourself or learn from others.
Get books.
Practice it.
Do what works.
Learn how to grow food.
I just recommend Marjorie Wildcraft at icangrowfood.com.
They've been a sponsor, and I know that system works because I've seen her garden and her farm operation when she used to be in Texas, and she knows exactly what she's doing.
And then for physical precious metals, of course, I recommend the Treasure Island Precious Metals Company at metalswithmike.com.
If you want to contact them and find out what they have available, they will help you.
They will answer your questions.
They will get you physical metals in a trusted format, guaranteed, secured, insured, and also in a package that doesn't look like you're receiving a box of silver or whatever.
And everything that I share with you as a recommendation is something that I do myself.
Everything.
In fact, I always do it first before I recommend it.
And in doing that, I find there's a lot of stuff that kind of fails the test, a lot of stuff I'm not that impressed with.
You know, not everything lives up to its promise.
So I test a lot of things, like I've been testing that folding rifle from Shield Arms, for example.
I'm going to be testing the body armor.
I'm going to do some more videos of night vision and thermal scopes and so on.
That's coming.
I do a lot of testing and then share that with you and, you know, the pros and the cons or just very simply what works and what doesn't.
And I can just double down that the recommendations that I make are absolutely worth it.
And I believe that they will save you.
I think that they will prepare you for what's coming or for what's already started.
Because you don't want to end up like people in Sri Lanka, you know, starving, no money, no fuel.
Just out in the streets, lost your business, lost your job, lost your livelihood, no paychecks, nothing.
Total government collapse.
I mean, that's going to happen in many more areas around the world.
And people who are not prepared are going to be very angry.
But understand, you never have to join those protests.
In fact, I encourage you not to.
You know why?
Because you're not going to be panicked and freaking out because you're prepared.
You knew this was coming.
We can't stop this history from unfolding.
We can only prepare ourselves to survive.
It's kind of like if you're on the Titanic and you can see that there's going to be a collision with this iceberg, you can take steps to survive it.
You can have a lifeboat.
That's what a lot of this is.
It's a lifeboat.
A financial lifeboat, a personal security lifeboat, a food lifeboat.
That's what this is.
And yes, we can all get through it.
And I'm very happy to have so many associations with the amazing listeners to this podcast who are among the very most prepared individuals on the planet.
Just people who will get through any kind of adversity and whether they have a lot of financial wealth or not.
They are able to get through it.
And I've seen that.
I've heard their descriptions.
I've looked in their eyes.
I've seen what's in their hearts.
I know that the people who listen to this podcast are going to be the survivors and the rebuilders.
The reframers of the society that is resurrected out of the collapse of this current system.
This system is collapsing.
100% guaranteed.
Yet, those of us who plan in advance, like you, we get to choose what to rebuild on the other side because we survived this.
And that, that's the most valuable information that you can get.
So I will do my best to keep you posted every day about what's happening and give you a heads up.
Just understand, this is my analysis.
These are my opinions.
But I believe these opinions are correct.
I believe this analysis is correct.
I think history has proven it again and again that we are.
And I'm taking all the actions that I'm recommending, and I'm preparing to survive this.
Because I'm not going to be in the streets, homeless and destitute and hungry, waiting for somebody to come rescue me.
No way.
We, you and I, we're going to pre-rescue ourselves and each other.
And that is called preparedness.
We are bailing ourselves out in advance.
And it's got to be clear.
Who makes it through this and why?
And it's going to be based on people who have foreknowledge and took action based on that knowledge.
It's like if you had a visitor from the future that came in, just teleported into your living room and said, hey, we know who's going to win the World Series.
We know who's going to win the Super Bowl.
And then you placed sports bets.
Maybe that's not the best metaphor, but if you were a betting person and you placed a bunch of sports bets and then you won the bets and got all that financial wealth, that's because you took action on the knowledge.
Afford knowledge isn't 100% correct all the time, but for the most part, it absolutely is.
And you've seen it here again and again.
So thank you for listening.
Thank you for your support.
Continue to be prepared.
And I'll continue to bring you this analysis each day.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
God bless you.
Thank you for all your prayers and blessings and for helping me stay safe on this recent journey.
That was quite enlightening.
So thank you for all your support.
Take care.
