Situation Update, 7/25/22 - Cattle LIQUIDATIONS...; narrative to CRUSH CRYPTO...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well, you're not going to believe this, but it's Monday again already, which means but it's Monday again already, which means it's time for the situation update.
That's right, for July 25th, 2022.
And we've got five situation updates coming for you this week.
And we're going to start today with something I promised you on Friday.
So over the weekend, I posted the video of the nitric acid digestion of that weird post-vaccine clot.
These clots are being removed from the bodies of dead people.
This particular clot was sent to me by embalmer Richard Hirschman.
And I did an interview with Dr.
Jane Ruby.
That's coming out, I believe, tomorrow.
And in that interview, we talk about what you're about to see.
I just want to give you a little 30-second teaser of this blood...
I'm sorry, it's not a blood clot.
It's a non-blood clot.
And it's being hit with nitric acid and it's giving off...
Nitric acid gas and it's rapidly oxidizing and popping and cracking and everything.
Check this out.
30 seconds that will blow your mind of what happens when this clot is subjected to nitric acid.
it.
Here we go.
Oops.
It's popping.
It's fizzling.
It's kind of exploding.
And it's releasing a lot of nitric acid vapor.
This is where I'm glad I have the fume hood on.
You see that?
So what you just saw there is not normal even for flesh.
You know, we prep dog food and chicken breast and all kinds of foods because that video was taken in the food lab under a fume hood where we do the nitric acid sample prep.
That's called digestion.
And normally it turns food samples into liquid.
And then we inject the liquid into our instruments for the heavy metals analysis.
Well, in this case, this clot, when the nitric acid hit it, it immediately began this really strong, rapid oxidation with an exothermic reaction.
It heated up the vial, and it gave off all this gas, and it was popping and cracking.
So there's your first clue of some of the strangeness surrounding these clots, and it proves these clots are not blood clots.
And also that they are not blood vessels.
If they were blood vessels, they would not act that way in nitric acid.
So just thought I'd give you that little piece.
Also, I've got a correction from the Friday podcast.
I inadvertently got the units wrong when talking about the tin levels in the blood.
And remember I said in normal blood that 10 was 163 parts per million.
And then in the clot itself, it was 943 parts per million.
So those digits are correct.
So the ratios are correct.
But the units were wrong.
The actual units were parts per billion.
And the reason I messed that up is because, well, the semi-quant report from the ICP-MS, which is what those numbers came from, it does not use the same units column to column.
Whereas the full quant report, which is what we normally get, is always in parts per billion.
But the semi-quant report, it changes the units based on the range that it's seeing element by element.
And since it was just a preliminary look, I was looking at the semi-quant and I saw that all the units were milligrams per liter, which is parts per million.
Leading all the way up until it got to 10 and then suddenly it changed units and I didn't see the change.
So anyway, that's my correction on that.
It's actually parts per billion, which is micrograms per liter.
And it's 163 versus 943.
What's important is the ratio.
The fact that the clot has so much more tin in it compared to human blood.
So that's the big aha from this.
And the other elements that I mentioned, all the units were correct.
So it was only on tin that had that little goof there.
And speaking of goof, I want to show you this incredibly goofy picture.
It's actually a product sold on Amazon.com.
So take a look at your screen and check out this picture.
You see the two people with their heads sticking out of something that looks like UFOs?
This is a product that's sold on Amazon.
And, in fact, if you go onto Amazon and you search for the term haircut umbrella, you will find all kinds of creepy, insane pictures of people with their heads sticking out of little UFO-shaped objects, including, check out this picture of a child, a child with his head out of the UFO. Now, I ask you, how creepy is this?
I mean, go back to the first pic, to my editor, go back to the first pic, the two people.
You notice that the girl in that picture, she looks like, I don't know, like a little psychopath.
And the guy looks like he's plotting some kind of a mass murder or something.
Like, he's a school shooter, and she's a self-mutilating psychopath.
And what kind of pictures?
I mean, who uses pictures like this to sell products?
It's just...
Super bizarre.
Let me show you this.
One more thing.
The third picture here.
Get ready.
We're going to show it in a second.
This is a guy trying to act normal even though his head is in a UFO and Like, pan device.
Haircut cape umbrella, as they're called.
Check this out.
Here we go.
Show that.
All right, what do you think of that?
I mean, here's a guy who's trying to say, everything's normal.
My head's just popping out of a UFO. I'm levitating my decapitated head over the landscape to see what's happening.
And then finally, one more last one that's even more bizarre.
This guy's head didn't even make it fully on top of the cone.
Check this out.
Check out this picture.
I call it Guy Caught in a Cone.
Now, frankly, this looks like a kidnapping has taken place, as if the kidnappers are sending a proof-of-life picture to the family to demand ransom.
Like, we have your man!
We're going to suffocate him in a giant fabric cone shaped like a UFO if you don't pay us 100,000 rubles or whatever it is.
Isn't this the creepiest thing?
It's just so bizarre.
Our world is getting more weird by the day.
It's just, it's also a really bad Photoshop job.
I suppose you could also put like a picture of Ocasio-Cortez put her head in there.
You'll probably get a Secret Service visit on that one.
It's like, are you threatening a congressman?
No, we're just offering to cut her hair.
It's a haircut umbrella.
No, it looks like a torture device.
You're guilty.
You know, this is crazy stuff.
Okay, one more thing, and then we'll get into more serious stuff.
But just in case you wanted a good laugh today, because it is Monday, let's start off with a good laugh.
Let me show you one more haircut cape umbrella.
Which is a levitating beard hair catcher.
Check this out.
Now you see this magical levitating cape?
It's up in the air to catch the hair from this man's beard.
And first of all, the guy's beard is not big enough to justify a cape of this size, massive levitating cape that is just in the air.
It's just suspended in the air somehow.
Just bizarre.
And then secondly, if you look at the guy's beard, he's all done shaving.
This guy, he's probably spent two hours shaping and forming every angle.
Isn't he done?
Why does he need to shave anything?
I mean, he's been styling his hair all morning, probably.
Getting ready for his monkeypox party in the afternoon or whatever.
But I think he's done.
I think the beard, I think it's all good.
You're ready to go.
Put down the automatic levitating boner cape and go out and have your fun there, dude.
Alright, that's all my commentary on that for today.
Okay, one more.
I can't resist.
This one is what happens when you take Viagra before shaving.
Check this one out.
Yeah, that's what happens when you thought the little blue pills were Advil and they turned out to be Viagra, but you still need to shave.
So get it done.
And I don't know, maybe it's just me, but every time I look at these products that nobody needs, I'm reminded of our consumer-based society of all this junk that nobody needs.
I'm like, Have you ever thought of just maybe going out on the balcony and shaving?
Or, you know, just go outside, man.
I mean, do you really need all this stuff?
Do you need a special cape?
I mean, maybe it's just me growing up in the 70s, but when I needed a haircut, you know, mom would just put like a picnic tablecloth around your neck and just go at it.
It's double use, you know, and you can still use it for a picnic later on.
You got to be resourceful.
You can't just waste money on everything.
And actually, that's part of the message here today that I am going to talk about is not just budgeting your finances, but also budgeting your attention.
Having an attention budget as we get into the real global crunch here, it's very important that we use our time wisely to And not just ferret it away on things that don't matter.
And I know some of you are thinking, well, why did you spend this time joking about Viagra beard shaving capes?
Well, because you see, I have a little secret strategy in this, is to keep you laughing While I describe the doom that's coming.
See, that's my little tactic.
I've got to keep you laughing because laughter is good medicine.
Laughter is fun and interesting.
And in fact, life is interesting, especially with all the weirdness that we see everywhere, like what I just showed you.
But we also have to be ready for the reality of what's coming.
But we don't want to get ourselves all down and depressed about everything.
We've got to be laughing about it because you know God is, too.
God's laughing.
It's like, ah, those humans, they thought they had it all under control again.
Look at them, tearing their system to shreds as they turned away from me.
They'll learn again, you know, that God is laughing.
He's also embracing, I should say.
He's not, like, mocking humans, but he is laughing at the mistakes that humans make over and over again.
So why can't we laugh at it, too, and learn from it also?
We can laugh and be serious at the same time.
That's my point.
We can seriously be getting ready and we can have a few laughs now and then when things are funny.
And the funniest thing of all, those of you listening who are women, you will definitely appreciate this.
How much you want to bet every single man who owns one of these levitating, beard-shaving boner capes, how much you want to bet his wife made him buy it?
There is no man that buys this thing by himself.
Unless he's gay.
We'll give it to the gay guys.
If they're fully gay, they're very neat and tidy.
And they might do that.
But for non-gay men, this is a wife mandate.
This is the wife putting out an alert.
If I find one more hair in that sink, you're doing the dishes for 20 days straight or whatever the punishment is.
These are men who have been conquered by their wives.
And if you don't believe me, here is the proof.
The final picture in this theme.
Check this out.
You see this one?
You see this big, hairy, bearded guy?
And he's got one of these beard-shaving bibs.
And what does it say?
What does it say?
It says, this is not a bib.
My wife put my cape on backwards.
I told you!
Told you the wives are making these men buy these bibs!
And then, I mean, what man would put on a beard-shaving bib that says, my wife put my cape on backwards?
Haha, so funny!
I'm a superhero, except my wife has me dressed as a giant man-baby.
That's what this is.
It's funny, man!
It's funny!
Those of you who are married, would you make your husband wear this thing?
Or would you do it just out of spite, perhaps?
Would you shame your husband like this with a beard bib?
I hope not.
I hope not.
No, let your man be a man.
This is demeaning to men a beard bib.
All right.
All right.
Moving on.
A couple of actual important issues.
There are massive cattle liquidations happening across Texas and Oklahoma.
And over the weekend, I saw some videos of all these Texas cow trailers lined up on the highway selling the cattle to slaughter.
But I have a first-hand knowledge of this.
I know many cattle ranchers in Texas, and I've spoken with three of them about this, and they all said the same thing.
They said, we've got no choice.
We have to reduce our herds.
I said, how much?
They said up to 80%.
And the reason, of course, is that there's no grass because there's no rain for months, virtually no rain.
And there's, of course, no hay available because the hay, you know, to grow hay requires rain.
And since there's no rain, there's no hay and there's no affordable hay for cows.
So they're all selling all their cows.
And herd reduction again by 80 percent.
So we saw the same thing happen in Texas in 2011.
And the 2011 drought was even worse than the current drought, although this drought is not over, so it could get as bad.
But here's what's going to happen.
100% chance that this is what you're going to see.
First, beef prices will fall.
Beef prices will fall in the immediate future because the beef supply is being flooded with cows.
And it's kind of sad.
I feel sorry for these cows.
Didn't rain, so they're going to get slaughtered.
Otherwise, they'd be chewing grass and they'd live longer, you know.
But they're going to get slaughtered, and the beef marketplace is going to get just glutted with all this excess supply.
And then, about, let's say, early next year, or roughly maybe end of this year or early next year, beef prices are going to start skyrocketing.
And they're going to stay, they're going to keep going up all through 2023, and they're going to stay high through 2024 and 2025.
And then they might eventually, if the herds can come back, if we have a couple of good years of rain, then the herds will recover by around maybe 2026, because it takes a few years to get the herds back to size, okay?
It takes a few good years of rain.
So be prepared to pay a whole lot more for beef in 2023 and 2024.
The strategy for this, if you're a beef eater, and if you want to stockpile beef and save a lot of money on food, because this is going to be the challenge moving forward, What you want to do is you want to watch for beef prices to get cheaper here in the coming months, and then you want to buy a lot of stuff that you're going to consume.
Because you're not going to see it this cheap again for years to come.
So there's a 100% chance that that's how this is going to play out.
I know firsthand.
You know, I've already talked to ranchers.
I know how the dynamics works.
We've seen this before.
In fact, this has happened many, many times throughout history.
It's going to happen again right now, and then eventually it will recover, but only if we get some rain coming back.
And the other question is, are these weather weapons?
I mean, we know weather weapons exist, but to what extent are they being used right now?
You know, most of the western United States is in an extreme drought.
We're having crop failures like never before.
There are orchard owners in California that are just pulling up entire orchards of almond trees right now.
And irrigation has been strictly limited.
So a lot of farmers in Oregon, for example, aren't getting the water that they used to get.
Same thing's true in the Central Valley in California.
Even parts of rural Washington are much drier than they used to be.
The dryness extends throughout Utah and Wyoming and parts of southern Idaho and so on.
And, of course, northern Arizona.
I mean, it's bad.
In western Texas and New Mexico, it's very bad.
So how much of this is a weather weapon effect?
We don't know for sure, but certainly some amount of it is weather weapons.
And, you know, they're messing with the biosphere all the time.
They're trying to strip CO2 out of the air.
They're trying to block the sun.
They're trying to alter Earth's chemistry.
And it's having disastrous effects.
I mean, the biosphere is under attack.
So, you know, food shortages are going to last a while for lots of reasons, not just the beef issue, but also just, you know, orchards.
When they die, orchards take, what, 10 plus years to come back?
You can't just plant avocado trees and almond trees and get avocados and almonds next year.
It takes, what, a decade or something like that to start getting production out of these trees.
So, bad sign of things to come.
Now, on the positive side of things, this is interesting.
I should have reported this on Friday, but the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was restarted.
Which actually surprised me and surprised a lot of people.
I thought maybe they would not restart it.
They did restart it, but at a limited delivery level, reportedly it's operating at 30% of its capacity.
And I've heard numbers from 20% to 40%.
So let's just say it's 30% or you could say roughly one-third.
It's not near its capacity and it's not known how long it's going to operate at this level or Russia could turn it off next week, right?
But for the moment, Germany is getting gas from Russia, or at least about a third of what they normally get, And it's not just Germany that takes that gas, by the way.
It gets distributed from there to other countries.
But European countries are, for the moment, getting gas to try to recharge their natural gas storage in preparation for the coming winter.
So, hey, for the moment, that's good news for Western Europe that there's a little bit of gas flowing.
Let's just see how long that lasts.
Because remember, Western Europe is years away from being able to not need the gas.
And if Russia cuts this off at any time, then you know things are headed for World War III. If Russia cuts it off at any time, Europe is in a world of hurt.
So let's monitor that situation, but at least the good news for now is that the doomsday warning of July 22nd, that was called doomsday.
At least that did not become full-blown doomsday.
It's only like two-thirds doomsday.
There's one-third gas, two-thirds doom.
That's kind of what's in the pipeline right now.
I can just see the Germans opening the lid.
It's like, where's all the gas?
What are you Russians pushing through this pipeline?
And the Russians answer, doom.
Get ready.
You pay with rubles, you get gas.
You don't pay rubles, you get doom.
So I've decided that if this gas supply goes down anymore, I'm going to call it the Doomstream 1 pipeline.
And they have Doomstream 1 and Doomstream 2, except that Doomstream 2 is already shut down.
They never even opened it.
That's how doomed Doomstream 2 is.
Doomstream 1 is back online, but doom is imminent.
So we'll see.
We'll see where that goes.
Alright, now speaking of Russia, Gonzalo Lira over the weekend put out an interesting video that I will comment on.
And Gonzalo, I don't know if you've been following him, but he lives in Ukraine and he has been highly critical of the Zelensky regime in Ukraine for all this time.
And he has, you know, of course, he's been accused of being pro-Russia or pro-Putin or Putin's puppet or what have you.
But Gonzalo, he doesn't have a perfect record of being accurate, but he's been right on a whole lot of issues.
And he put out a warning over the weekend saying that he believes America is going to assassinate Zelensky.
And then they're going to blame that assassination on the Russians and that when Zelensky is taken out, along with top military generals as what is being supposed in this theory, then Ukraine would collapse into real chaos and then Russia would have to pick up The chaos.
Russia would have to figure out how to manage this collapsing nation, and then America would continue to run sabotage operations and so on.
So the reason that Gonzalo says this is that Zelensky has become more valuable to the West dead than alive, according to Gonzalo's analysis.
In other words, Zelensky has screwed things up so badly that And Ukraine is not in a winning position right now that a lot of the leaders of the West who have been providing weapons and money and more money and more money, like a few hundred million dollars every week, it seems now, or billions, they need to cover their butts.
So they need a scapegoat.
And the conclusion from Mr.
Lira here is that if they take out Zelensky, then They can kind of put all the problems on him.
Oh, it was his fault, but so sorry that he's been assassinated by the Russians, even though it might be a Western missile.
And when the West controls all the media, all the propaganda media and the lies and everything, they can fabricate anything they want.
Just remember the yellow cake uranium weapons of mass destruction story back in the Gulf War?
Yeah, they could just make it all up.
They fabricate everything.
It's all just a giant theatrical event in the Western media.
So it is possible that this is what could happen.
Now, this analysis by Gonzalo Lira was based on, I believe, Jake Sullivan, who is a deep state insider, expressing concern about Zelensky's safety, which is kind of a code announcement for...
The West is getting ready to take him out.
Or at least that's the belief here.
So just keep your eyes open on this.
Obviously, we don't want anybody assassinated.
We don't want anybody thrust into chaos.
What we want, actually, what I want, I would love to see Zelensky sit down and negotiate with Russia for peace.
You know, stop the dying.
But in an extraordinary example of hubris on this, Zelensky, this is a Wall Street Journal article.
From Friday, Zelensky says a ceasefire with Russia without reclaiming lost lands will only prolong war.
In other words, Zelensky is saying that he's not going to negotiate with Russia unless Russia gives back all the land that Russia has, quote, conquered.
And actually, a lot of that land in the Donbass region, they already voted to separate from Ukraine.
They wanted to join Russia or be their own country.
So it's not like Russia came in and conquered them and took them by force.
A lot of those people wanted to be, they did not want to be part of Western Europe.
They are ethnic Russians.
They are Russo ethnic people.
They speak Russian.
They grew up Russian, you know, and they want to be part of Russia.
So Zelensky is saying the only way he will negotiate with Russia is if Russia first gives back all the territory that Ukraine has lost.
Now, what's kind of sad and, frankly, a little bit pathetic about this is that in saying this, Zelensky is negotiating with Russia.
This is a negotiation dialogue.
Zelensky is negotiating by saying, I won't negotiate unless you give back all the land.
So that's a negotiation itself.
I won't sit down at the table unless you do this.
That's a negotiation.
But why would Russia give back all this land when they've been running what they call a special military operation to demilitarize the area and, as they say, denazify the area because Russia wanted a buffer zone.
They wanted Ukraine to be neutral, not to be part of NATO, not to have Western missiles and Western weapons and Western troops sort of aggravating and threatening Western Russia.
And they also wanted Ukraine's attacks on the civilians in the Donbass region to stop.
And so why would Russia now say, oh, never mind?
Like, after spending billions of dollars and after losing X amount of hardware and how many military soldiers and suffering economic sanctions and everything that Russia has been through in this, why would Russia now say, oh, you want everything back?
Okay, we'll just retreat back.
Back to the East.
We'll just, yeah, we'll just go all the way back to the border of Russia and just say, oh, we're sorry, and then we'll negotiate.
Like, really?
Does Zelensky?
I mean, we know he's an actor, but is he a fool?
Is he an idiot?
Why would anybody negotiate with him on those terms?
I mean, and I'm not even singling out Zelensky.
Would any national leader...
Do you think that a negotiation was possible under those terms?
And if Putin were foolish enough to agree to those terms, and if Putin ordered the entire military to surrender all the territory they already conquered and retreat back to Russia, you realize Putin would be assassinated by his own generals at that point.
They would say, that's insane!
You know how hard we worked to gain this ground and to take these cities and Severodonetsk and the Donbass region and all these bridges and These key areas.
I mean, how many lives were lost and all of it.
If Putin gave all that up, they would kill him.
So, that's not going to happen.
What Zelensky is actually doing here, in my opinion, is he's just saying, we're not going to negotiate, period.
We're not going to negotiate.
Instead, we're just going to lose.
Because that's what's happening.
Ukraine is losing this war.
They're not winning.
They're not taking territory back.
In fact, I think Putin's response to this, this suggestion from Zelensky, when Zelensky says, okay, we'll negotiate if you give us back all the land, I think Putin's response would be, why don't you come and take it?
Why don't you take it back?
Right?
Because that's what war is on the battlefield in the kinetic 3D world.
It's like you need to push the enemy out of an area, and then you need to occupy and then, importantly, hold the A specific area, like hold a city, hold a bridge, hold a village, hold a military base, hold an airfield, hold a port.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that Zelensky's forces have held anything that they've taken back from the Russians.
Can you think of a single example?
Is there anything where they pushed the Russians out and then conquered back and took a city back and then held it?
I can't think of a single example.
So they're not taking territory back.
So Putin must be thinking, well, the reason you want us to give it back is because you can't take it back.
And guess what?
We're not going to negotiate either because we tried negotiating with the West for eight long years, even longer under the Minsk agreements.
That was the negotiation.
And NATO broke its promises.
NATO lied.
NATO went back on its word.
So why would Russia trust any negotiation with the West at this point?
There's no reason to do so.
No reason at all.
Now, on the good news front for the world and the world food supply, my understanding is that over the weekend, an agreement was signed to allow grain exports out of the port of Odessa.
And there are many, many, I don't know, thousands of tons of different commodities and grains and so on, wheat in particular, that need to be exported out of Odessa.
Now, the Ukraine military had mined the waters there, making ship navigation very treacherous, and some of those mines had drifted away from their original deployment area, and so they were a safety danger to merchant ships that The West also was saying that Russia was threatening the port and that Russia was blocking any kind of merchant traffic in and out of Odessa.
Well, whatever version of that you believe, it appears that over the weekend a treaty was signed, this may have happened Friday, where Russia has agreed that it will not attack the port of Odessa for four months, and that during this time...
Food, grains, especially wheat, can be offloaded and exported out of Ukraine using the port of Odessa.
So should this occur, this will provide a lot of wheat supply to the world markets, and it will ease the shortage that has been, of course, getting very, very bad in the Middle East, in African nations, parts of Europe, also Sri Lanka, for that matter, right?
So if we could get a lot of wheat supply out of Ukraine over the next few months, this could help the situation.
But Russia did not say that Russia will not attack the city of Odessa by land, just to be clear.
Russia said, at least my understanding is that Russia said that they will not use naval vessels to attack the port of Odessa.
They did not say they won't use tanks to attack the city of Odessa or go around the port.
So, you know, the war is still on, and it's pretty clear that Russia still wants to take the city of Odessa.
And by all accounts, they will probably be successful at doing so, even if it's five or six months later.
But they've agreed to have kind of a safe zone of food exports out of the port for the next four months, and that's going to help the world.
So I want to point out the good news when we have it, This means that the worst case scenario has now been delayed and that you may have a few more months to actually get affordable wheat supplies.
If that's something that you're stockpiling, you know, wheat berries in buckets and things to make bread later on, you may have a better chance to get those supplies now.
And some of the products that are made from wheat, you know, store products, breads and crackers and whatever, cookies, might be a little more affordable, a little more available for the next few months.
But what happens in 120 days?
Well...
That's when Russia's guarantee of safety ends, and the port of Odessa could be in a war zone, could be on fire, who knows?
And then Ukraine's wheat exports would no longer be available to the world.
So whenever I see things like this, a little piece of good news in the overall theater of doom, I say, I'll take the good news.
And I'll pass it along and I'll act on it so that we all have a little more time.
A little more time to get prepared.
Because you know we all could use more time.
Right?
Even myself.
And I know you could use more time.
So even though there are, let's say, anti-preppers out there who would look at this and say, see, I told you there's not a global emergency.
Nobody needs to buy food.
You don't need any food.
That's a crazy response to it.
The realistic response is, oh, thank God we have a little reprieve, a little more time.
Before the situation gets worse again.
So let's take the good news.
Let's act on it.
And just like I said earlier, with the beef supply, even though I feel bad for all the cows that are being slaughtered, if you're in the market to buy beef, you're going to have a chance to get it at the most affordable price that you'll see for years to come.
And because of this Odessa port agreement, you might get some abundant wheat supplies Over the next few months that will not be available by the end of the year or early 2023.
So what we have to do, I believe, is we have to, even though we understand that there's a whole lot of bad news that is being rolled out, we have to look and be willing to spot the little pieces of good news that we can take advantage of because we have limited resources, all of us, You have limited resources.
You have limited finances.
You have limited time and limited attention, which I also want to talk about here.
But you've got to be able to use those resources wisely to reduce your risk and to gather the supplies that are necessary to be ready to make it through the global financial collapse.
That's being engineered as part of the global reset, of course, which includes global starvation and scarcity and social unrest and all of that.
So whenever there's a reprieve, we should thank God.
We should feel the blessings of, oh, we have a few extra months.
How do we take advantage of this?
How do we acquire more things that we need at a lower cost that won't be available six months later?
So let's just jump right into this analysis, actually.
A lot of what we talk about here is being risk-averse.
How to avoid risk of catastrophic loss by Moving both financial resources and other types of resources into things that tend to hold value.
And let's talk about, for example, the stock market and crypto and gold and silver.
Now, here's what's interesting.
Oh, and the Fed and interest rates.
So as the Fed has been raising interest rates, we've seen sell-offs in all three of those areas of assets and also starting to affect property as well.
So we've seen, of course, the stock market go down substantially all this year.
A lot of portfolios are down 30% or more.
We've seen crypto fall about 70% in some cases, a little bit less in others.
And that's also part of the big sell-off.
And interestingly, we've seen gold and silver sell-off somewhat in terms of the dollar value.
However, there's a key difference in these three categories.
If you hold dollars, the dollars have no intrinsic value, right?
If you have a bunch of cash in a bag, let's say, or a suitcase like in Hollywood, you get a bunch of cash.
As that cash is worth less and less and less each day, you're actually losing whatever value is there because there's no intrinsic value.
It's only a value based on faith.
It's just the dollar and the dollar is backed by nothing.
So if you hold cash, you're losing.
If you hold crypto, since crypto has no intrinsic value either, except for those few coins that are actually backed by physical gold and silver in an audited vault somewhere like LODE, L-O-D-E.
LODE is actually backed by physical gold and silver.
But most crypto, the vast majority of crypto is backed by nothing.
So when the value of crypto goes down, you're losing big time.
You're losing the only thing it had, which was perceived value.
Whereas if you have gold and silver, physical gold and silver, you have ounces that are stacked in your closet or shoebox or safe or wherever.
If the value of that is going down in terms of dollars, if you look in your safe, you haven't lost any physical gold and silver.
It's all still there, and the intrinsic value is still almost identical.
That's the difference.
So moving into gold and silver, even though its value has dropped in the dollar, For the reason of this massive sell-off, which, by the way, let me explain why I think this is going to be reversed shortly because of the Fed's next moves.
But the intrinsic value of gold and silver has not changed.
The industrial applications of gold and silver are still the same.
The global limited supply of gold and silver is still very, very limited.
In fact, it's even more limited because nobody wants to sell their coins right now.
The paper price is very different from the physical price, so the physical price has held more value, and the intrinsic value is always there, and it's going to come back strong with the next move.
Let me explain what I think is the next move.
Oh, and by the way, housing has fallen and land is falling and so on because of the Fed's interest rates.
So the Fed is about to raise interest rates one more time, and it may be 100 basis points.
This could be a 1% interest rate increase.
Based on what I'm seeing so far, although this is subject to change, of course, but based on what I'm seeing, it looks like this is going to be the Fed's last interest rate increase this year, and the Fed is going to be forced, probably, to abandon this quantitative tightening, which is described by raising interest rates and reducing the money supply, reducing the cost of money.
In other words, the Fed's current quantitative tightening, which is reducing the money supply and making money more expensive to get, that is likely to be reversed.
Well, it seems likely that the Fed is going to have to, you know, reverse this, right?
And that means they're going to have to start lowering interest rates sometime soon, maybe September.
Just take it a guess.
And the reason they are likely to be forced to do this is because raising interest rates is crushing the economy too aggressively, and it's not going to be good for Democrats in the November election.
So there's pressure, no doubt, from the White House and the Democrats to tell the Fed, hey, lower interest rates, flood the markets, we need more money in the system, and that's going to make stocks go back up, it's going to make crypto probably go back up, and it's going to make gold and silver go back up, because all this free money in the system, people are going to start buying up all the assets that they previously sold off.
So it's interesting because normally gold and silver will move in the opposite direction of the stock market, or very often they will.
But in this case, there's so much leverage in the system and people – some people are using stock market leverage and crypto leverage to buy physical gold and silver.
And then when they get in trouble and they hit margin calls, they have to sell their gold and silver in order to meet their margin calls in other areas.
And that's one of the reasons why gold and silver has been hammered recently.
The other reason is because the dollar has been so strong because people in Europe are fleeing the euro and jumping into the dollar.
And if you've been watching the euro to dollar exchange rate, it has been just clobbered.
The euro is losing value so rapidly and the dollar is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
And that makes gold and silver look cheaper and cheaper.
So there are a couple of key dynamics here, but just watch for this to potentially be reversed by the Fed in the next one to two months.
And if that happens, and again, I think it could be because of political pressure.
You could see housing bounce back up along with the stock market, along with crypto and gold and silver.
But understand, that's going to be short-lived.
That whole bounce back is just an election ploy.
And after the November elections, whatever happens there, it's likely that the Fed is going to argue that inflation is still out of control and they're going to have to tackle inflation, which means potentially...
December or January timeframe of 2023, they're going to have to start raising interest rates again.
So, folks, I'm going to call the second half of this year, well, let's say the next 12 months, I'm going to call it financial whiplash.
The financial whiplash is going to be incredibly violent and stressful if your assets are tied up into numbers that are subject to this whiplash.
But if your assets are physical and real...
And I really want to encourage you to look at the world in this way.
If your assets are physical and real, I want you to wake up and remind yourself that those real things have not vanished.
So, for example, if you own your house and you have a roof over your head and you own the dirt beneath your feet, And you can walk out into your yard and your front yard, backyard, ranch, whatever it is, and you own it.
I want you to remind yourself that no matter what the paper value says, you haven't lost anything.
You've got the house.
You've got the roof.
You've got the yard.
You've got the silver in your vault.
You've got maybe some ammo.
You've got the stored food.
You're fine.
You're safe.
You can't lose those things, no matter what happens to the value.
So one of the best ways to avoid all of the stress and the frenzy Of the whiplash that's happening financially is to be focused on real things and not be leveraged into virtual assets that are being taken for a rollercoaster ride, frankly.
The whipsaw, the up and down, it's going to be horrifying for people.
Leveraged and then deleveraged and then should you switch from this asset to that asset and back and forth?
You know, it's a full time job to follow that stuff.
Let me tell you what I do.
Personally, I don't invest in any stocks at all.
I don't own any stocks.
I don't own any bonds.
Me, personally, I'm not invested in any real estate either, but I do have an investment vehicle, which is my own company.
So if you're in real estate, that's fine.
That's great.
Just make sure you're not heavily leveraged in it.
Or if you invest in businesses, just make sure that you own the physical businesses that actually produce something or provide a service that's real, that's physical.
Even if it's tractor repair or something, that's real.
That counts.
Even though it's a service business, it's something that's real.
And for me, whether gold goes up or down, I don't care because I'm sitting on the gold and the silver.
Same thing is true with ammunition.
So I buy a little bit of ammo at a time.
And I've been doing so for many years.
So I've got a pretty decent supply of different types of ammo.
Some of it I bought for barter.
Like.22 long rifle ammo, you know, I figured, hey, that's currency.
And that's what a lot of veterans and former special operators have told me, too.
When they observed financial collapse in other countries, they said that ammo was more valuable than gold and silver because, of course, you could use ammo to defend your property and defend your family.
You know, you couldn't do that with silver, let's say.
But ammo, you could.
So ammo was barter.
And I hated that lesson, and so I've got ammo.
And I don't wake up every day and check the ammo prices online and go, oh my god, I've lost or I've gained or whatever.
No, I have the same amount of ammo sitting there in an ammo can.
Well, more than one, obviously, but a few ammo cans, it's the same ammo.
Whether the price goes up or down, still got the same number of rounds there, see?
And that's how you avoid losing your mind when these markets are going haywire.
And I think that there's a couple of gals out there that are really great.
Catherine Austin Fitz and also Lynette Zhang.
And I think they're both on the ball, and they both get it, and they feel the same way I do on these issues, I believe, which is, you know, own the roof over your head, own the land, own physical things.
Don't lose your mind trying to monitor leveraged vehicles that can move against you all the time.
Just be really conservative, be really risk-averse, and just know that the winner...
The winner in what's about to happen is he or she who loses the least.
That's the winner.
So as this global reset happens, and let's say the average person loses 90% of what they had in the bank, or 90%, or even more if they were highly leveraged, they might lose 95%.
But let's say the average person loses 90% or 80% or 70%, and let's say you end up losing 10%.
Okay, you've lost 10%, but did you come out ahead of everybody else?
Absolutely.
You lost the least.
You're way ahead of the game.
When people are wiped out, you did well by mostly holding your own.
And that's the name of the game, I believe, right now.
This is about not losing or limiting losses, limiting the risk exposure, deleveraging, being incredibly conservative in terms of finances.
And that means having physical things.
Physical things that can't vanish.
I know I've said that so many times, you might be tired of me saying it, but it's just worth the reminder and also the stress factor.
Now we're going to start talking about attention and your attention budget.
So I wanted to segue to this anyway.
As we move into this collapse scenario, it's very important that we use our attention wisely because we only have a certain amount of attention in a given day.
Obviously, we can only be attentive to something during the waking hours.
And let's say that's 16 hours a day for you.
Let's say you get eight hours of sleep and you've got 16 attentive hours.
And really...
You may not be good in the morning until that second cup of coffee, and you may be fading in the evening because you're tired or you're exhausted, whatever.
So let's say, in reality, you've got about 12 hours a day of good functioning attention.
What are you doing with those 12 hours?
And I'll say that if you're spending three or four of those hours fretting over what's happening in the markets today, then that's a very poor allocation of attention unless that's your profession.
If that's your profession, then great.
That makes sense that that's what you do for a living.
That's different.
But if that's not your profession and then you're spending all this time just fretting about finances and trying to figure out, oh, should I invest in Celsius crypto?
Answer, no, it collapsed.
Or should I invest in Apple stock or Netflix stock or whatever?
If you're spending a lot of time doing that, in my opinion, that's time that could be better used thinking about or planning or taking action about preparedness and survival in the real world.
And so by moving assets out of those leverage risky virtual categories, not only are you probably reducing your risk, you're also reducing the amount of attention you're spending on that.
Don't forget to value your attention because you only have a limited amount.
Each of us only has a limited amount.
And we've got to spend that attention wisely.
In fact, there's a phrase I want to share with you here, and that is attention conservation.
I believe that it is very important as we are all moving into this difficult time that we have to practice not only, of course, financial conservation, but also attention conservation.
Which means we have to look at our attention diet, so to speak.
Which is like, what's the menu of things that we are spending our attention on?
Let's call it an attention budget.
Where are we spending our attention each day?
Oh, you know, spent two hours fretting about the stock market and then spent two hours over here binge watching a Netflix series or something.
Spent two hours over here screwing around with friends saying nothing or whatever, you know.
And probably there are a lot of positive things, too.
You know, I spent a good solid hour, you know, planning for backup communications or I spent a good solid hour learning something from videos online or practicing a skill or whatever.
I sighted in a rifle today.
I built a new garden bed.
All these kinds of things.
Those are good uses of time.
But ask yourself this question.
Are there areas where you're spending time now or spending your attention budget that you could cut?
And you could use that attention for things that matter more.
And a lot of people, I would say most people have quite a lot of slack in their attention budget.
They're spending time on things that aren't necessarily moving them in the direction that they want to go.
And be very careful of attention vampires.
And I don't just mean people.
I mean activities or things that just suck away your attention but don't really give you much in return.
Probably the best example would be a city council meeting.
It's just sucking everybody's time with nothing happening.
But there are lots of other examples in life as well.
Where do you spend your time and attention that could be spent more wisely on something that's going to get you closer to your goal of making it through all of this?
Now, let me give you a couple of good examples.
And this will tell you a little bit about me, too.
You probably know me very well by now anyway.
But, you know, I don't live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association.
And so I don't have a lawn that I spend time taking care of.
Why is that?
It's a huge waste of time and I don't put poisons and toxins and atrazine and all kinds of garbage on lawns.
I don't spread pesticides.
So I don't spend time manicuring a lawn.
I don't have a little machine that you run back and forth and you push it and it puts out weed and feed or whatever.
In my opinion, and I'm not judging you if this is something that you do, if that's important to you, that's fine.
But in my opinion, that is not a good use of time.
I would rather spend that time growing a garden.
And by the way, you probably figured this about me too.
I don't care what my garden looks like cosmetically.
In fact, the gardens that I grow, they look kind of messy.
And that's the way food grows in nature.
In nature, you'll notice you don't have monoculture crops, like all the same wild grapes all in a row, in a nice little tidy box.
It's all weeded in there.
No.
Out in nature, food grows.
It's kind of...
It's kind of intermixed.
It's randomly located.
You'll have a cactus here and a wild onion there and then a grape plant over here.
And then, oh look, here's some kind of edible something, berry bush or whatever.
And they're all kind of mixed in together.
And that's kind of the way I garden, which by the way is one of the ways to cut down on pests.
Because pests, they love to eat monoculture crops like, oh, look, an entire bed of strawberries.
I'll just clean it out.
That's what the insects are saying.
If you spread out the strawberries, you have more natural resistance.
And you throw some flowers in there, too, that sometimes give off different kinds of gases and so on that the insects don't like, different smells and scents and things, right?
And you're going to find this funny, but I'm planting dandelions in my hydroponic system right now because dandelions are one of the most medicinal plants in the world.
They're super easy to grow.
The dandelion greens are incredibly medicinal.
The dandelion flowers are edible.
And the dandelion roots can also be used in a salad.
And you talk about medicinal, like dandelion plants can replace dozens of prescription medications, by the way.
So I cultivate dandelions.
But I don't have dandelions in my yard because I don't have a neighborhood yard.
I don't have a yard where dandelions would normally grow.
I have fields of wild grasses and whatever else is growing there and trees and stuff because I don't manicure.
I don't spend the time doing that.
So instead of making a lawn look good, I do spend time growing medicinal foods and superfoods.
And again, I'm not judging anybody.
I'm not trying to sound arrogant at all.
I'm just saying that we each have a choice of where to spend our time and attention.
And personally, I give zero weight to what the neighbors think in the neighborhood, or I give zero weight to what things necessarily look like cosmetically.
I care about how they're functional.
I care about how can I work with nature to leverage this plant to bring me the molecules and the calories that I need to survive and to have healthy blood sugar and healthy neurology and healthy cardiovascular function and anti-cancer nutrients and all that stuff.
So...
While the typical neighborhood person is out there pushing herbicides that cause cancer on their lawn, I'm growing dandelions that reverse cancer in my hydroponic box.
And see, that's a choice.
That's a choice of where we choose to spend our time.
And I would also say that I choose to spend my time in alignment with nature and God, whereas someone who's pushing herbicides on their lawn, they're spending time in alignment with toxic chemical corporations who build molecules that kill things instead of allowing they're spending time in alignment with toxic chemical corporations who build molecules that
So you see, if you're involved in a lot of death type of activities, you know, like if you're killing weeds all the time, if you're running an abortion center, if you're just involved in a lot of killing activities, it's not going to serve you well.
It's better to be involved in life-giving activities and allowing things to flourish and allowing, like leveraging nature to give you what you need to survive.
So growing your own food is just one example of that, but there are many other examples as well, like sharing information with others so that you create a community of informed people who help each other.
And just speaking on that subject, I know there are some people online They covet their information so much that they don't want anybody to share it.
And I've seen this as the founder of Brighteon.com.
We've received a few phone calls from independent media people over the years who were very unhappy that somebody had posted one of their videos on Brighteon.
And they were very unhappy, so ultimately we took them down for those people.
But I don't understand the philosophy.
If you want to work in alignment with nature and you're speaking publicly, you want to influence people or educate people or share knowledge with people, you want to broaden your reach, how many people that you influence with your message, why would you want to limit the number of people who see it?
Why would you want to limit it?
It doesn't make any sense.
And you notice that I usually say after every interview that I post, in almost every case, I say, hey, feel free to repost this interview.
Put it on your own channel.
Put it on a different platform if you want.
Repost it.
Put it in your article.
That's great.
Because we do these things to share information.
We do these things to have a positive influence on people because we believe that information wants to be free.
And by the way, the human body wants to be healthy.
And all your cells want to be cancer-free.
And food and nutrition wants to be free also, not just information.
And so when you work in alignment with nature and you focus your attention on those things in nature...
That are more god-like, that are more divine, I think the rewards for you are going to be absolutely tremendous.
And you're not going to care that you don't have a manicured lawn that passes the cosmetic standards of the homeowner Nazi association or whatever it is.
You're going to be so thrilled with what you're getting in terms of free medicine and free food and happiness in contact with the earth, working in alignment with nature and what God wants humanity to be part of, which is a natural world, not monoculture farming, pesticides and herbicides and GMOs, but just real natural heirloom seeds and everything.
You're going to be so rewarded that No one will be able to take you away from that.
It doesn't care what people think about the cosmetics of your garden.
You're producing food and medicine from sunlight and dirt.
How cool is that, huh?
That's amazing.
That's revolutionary.
And that's what we got to get back to.
Now, speaking of your attention budget and getting us out of things that are distractions or things that are risky, I'm going to give you some new information about crypto that has just emerged.
In a second, there's a big Wall Street Journal article about this.
This is exactly what I predicted, I think, seven years ago, by the way, what's happening right now.
I actually publicly predicted this in videos many years ago.
And it's going to be the end of stablecoins as we know it.
I'll get to that in a second.
There's a lot of risk in the system that is not yet realized.
One of the things I do is I try to negotiate discounts and coupon codes for our audience here.
So let me just mention a couple that are currently active.
At least, I believe they are.
Shieldarms.com has the folding AR-15 pistol and rifle, and they have everyday carry belts, and they have some really nice magazines for Glocks that replace the standard Glock mags.
And remember, my only complaint about Glocks has been that the magazines...
Our polymer and the edges of the retention indentations can wear out.
And that's actually why I stopped carrying clocks.
But the Shield Arms company has solved that problem.
If you use discount code HEALTHRANGER, you can get 10% off everything.
I believe it's everything at shieldarms.com.
So check them out.
The Satellite Phone Store constantly has specials, not only on the EcoFlow solar generators, but also on backup satellite communication systems.
So check them out, sat123.com.
The Treasure Island Precious Metals Company also has specials on silver coins.
They always have at least one active special that gives you silver at just a few dollars over spot price, but it varies day by day, so you'll have to contact them and ask them what's the current special.
You can reach them at brighteonmetals.com and ask for their current best specials on silver rounds, one ounce silver rounds.
Because they have a good supply, even though they're hard to get.
They've got private sellers who are letting go of some coins, so check them out.
And then two more here, arkseedkits.com.
That's A-R-K, arkseedkits.com.
Use discount code GARDEN22 to get 10% off.
I believe that's currently in play.
And then at hoplitearmor.com, H-O-P-L-I-T-E, hoplitearmor.com.
Use discount code BRYTEON. And I think that gives you, yeah, 10% off there as well.
So those are some of the specials I know of at the moment.
And I'm going to be reaching out to...
Like SoGo Snacks and Dawson Knives and some of the other companies, the Grow Network and things like that.
See if they've got any other specials coming up that we can share with you.
So remember, you've got financial currency, but you've got attention currency as well.
And you've got to spend both wisely or limit expenditures to those things that are really crucial.
Tools for your survival and your ability to navigate what's coming.
So with that said, let's talk about crypto here for a second.
The Wall Street Journal put out an article.
I think this was Saturday.
Yeah.
And here's the title.
They thought crypto banks were safe and then came the crash.
And the subhead from the Wall Street Journal is, crypto firms such as Celsius and Voyager pitch themselves as good alternatives to traditional lenders.
And basically, this article goes through what we might call crypto sob stories from people who, well, you won't believe this unless I read it out of the story.
So check this out.
Okay, one Sunday evening last month, Lucas Holcomb woke his pregnant wife.
Honey, we just lost $100,000, he told her.
He had taken out a home equity line of credit and deposited the proceeds with cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network LLC, which offered bank-like accounts paying far higher rates than traditional lenders.
He liked that the company had big-name institutional investors and touted safeguards meant to protect depositors from the crazy price swings common in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
But last month, with crypto markets nosediving, Celsius told clients it was freezing all withdrawals.
The Holcomb family's money was trapped.
And then the story goes on, and it talks about not just Celsius collapsing, but other companies.
And then other people, This one guy, he lost, what, it was a half a million dollars.
Mr.
Wang, 32 years old, yeah, he lost half a million dollars in Terra US dollars.
You know, the Terra coin collapse, Luna collapse.
Now, you got to understand what this is.
And I talked to John Perez over the weekend, and I've nicknamed John Perez the Crypto Nostradamus because he's been so right about the downfall of this crypto bubble.
Now, I called this bubble early, which that's my tendency.
So I knew this was going into a bubble phase.
I knew it was going to collapse, but...
I'm always kind of early on the warning signs because I do see trends pretty far into the future.
So I tend to start to raise the alarm pretty early, a lot earlier than most.
And then it usually takes a few years before those things come to fruition.
But by that time, people are like, oh my God!
Like, we couldn't have seen this coming.
I'm like, yeah, we said that years ago.
But anyway, John Perez is in kind of the same boat.
He saw this coming.
And what the Wall Street Journal is doing here...
Is they're setting up a narrative for new FDIC regulations of stable coins.
And I talked to John Perez and he confirmed this.
He said that what's about to come down, which is going to crush the crypto marketplace, is that there will be Regulatory announcements made with a combination of the SEC and also the FDIC. And by the way, California is investigating a lot of these lending platforms like Celsius and there are others out there, Voyager and so on.
They're being investigated by law enforcement, regulators and law enforcement in California who are saying that it looks like these companies have been selling financial instruments and securities.
Without following securities regulations.
So this is going to be the leverage approach for how the federal government regulates the current crypto market nearly out of existence.
Just in time to roll out the central bank digital currencies, you see.
So, yes, this is an attack on crypto by the governments and the central banks.
Of course it is.
But it's also...
It's also a weeding out of the crypto Ponzi scams that have been characterized the crypto industry for so long here.
I mean, a lot of it has been just a fraud.
What Celsius was doing was clearly fraudulent.
And the promises that were made by Celsius and other platforms, like, oh, this is safer than banking.
This is for the little guy.
We're going to help the little guy get rich.
And yeah, you're going to earn this crazy high interest rate.
You don't have to do anything.
Just sit back.
Make money off crypto.
They would make these crazy promises, like, the whole world could be rich if we all just mined Bitcoin.
And, you know, really?
I don't think that's how the economy works.
I don't think we just sit around in our basements burning electricity and then trading public spreadsheets with each other.
I don't think that creates wealth.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't make the economy function.
That's just delusional Ponzi schemes.
And the point of the Wall Street Journal pushing this article out is that the mainstream media has been ordered, I believe, by the deep state to start showing all these sob stories of how people respond.
like regular everyday people, are losing all this money in crypto because what they have to call for is the regulators to step in and they have to get stories of how people were crushed by the unregulated crypto platforms.
That's what this is.
That's what you're watching.
Understand the meta story behind this.
This is not the Wall Street Journal just covering people who lost money.
This is the Wall Street Journal begging the government to regulate the crypto market as we know it out of existence.
And what's going to happen is the FDIC and the SEC are going to step in, they're going to announce new regulations on how stablecoins are, in fact, securities, and they're subject to the same kind of audits and FDIC regulations as traditional banking.
Any stablecoin that is used on any platform that's in America, such as Coinbase, for example, or all kinds of other platforms, any stablecoin traded in America's jurisdiction is going to have to comply with FDIC standards for banks.
Which means they're going to have to be audited by third-party, like legit auditors, not the made-up ones that Tether is using and so on.
They're actually going to have to prove that they have funds on hand, that they have liquid assets that represent the stability of the coin that they're putting out there, that they are telling the truth about how much they have on hand and so on.
Folks, that's going to crush the stablecoin marketplace.
And when the stablecoin marketplace goes down, Bitcoin's going to just get absolutely crushed.
And remember that John Perez says Bitcoin's going to $4,000, roughly that.
And he's sticking with that prediction.
Is he correct about that?
Well, very well maybe.
I mean, Bitcoin's around, what, 22,000 right now?
It was around 18,000 not long ago.
Doesn't have that much further to fall to get to 4,000.
And if the stablecoins are gutted, you have to understand, stablecoins, in my assessment, stablecoins have been the cryptocurrency counterfeiting machine.
The money printing of the crypto world takes place through the stablecoins.
There's a lot of stablecoins that are just created out of thin air with nothing really backing them.
And then they are flooded into the crypto ecosystem to buy up coins like Bitcoin, which are then leveraged for high-risk bets to make more money, which is what brought down Celsius, by the way.
They were loaning out the Bitcoin that they took on deposit from other people, and the risk got out of hand.
The leverage upon leverage upon leverage started collapsing like a house of cards domino effect, and that's what led to the destruction of billions of dollars of so-called assets.
So the moment that stablecoins are regulated, and that announcement could come, frankly, any day, any week, any month.
Might be the end of the year.
Might be tomorrow.
We don't know.
But when the Wall Street Journal is putting out articles talking about how people are being hurt like this, rest assured, they're setting up a narrative to roll out regulation of the stablecoins.
And, of course, the crypto trading platforms.
Like, crypto lending will be regulated like bank lending.
Crypto stablecoins will be regulated like bank deposits or securities.
That's coming, and it's coming real fast.
And there's one other thing you need to understand here, I believe, that when they crush the dollar and they try to roll out the central bank digital currencies, the CBDCs, They need to be able to claim that the CBDCs that are official are safe.
They're safer.
This is the way the narrative is going to go.
You need to go into the Fed crypto coin or whatever it is.
It's not going to necessarily be crypto.
It'll just be like a Federal Reserve digital wallet, okay?
We'll just call it the CBDC of the Fed.
They're going to have to say, you need to go into the Fed, CBDC, because you don't want to be part of those risky, you know, Bitcoin cryptos and stablecoins and Celsius and Voyager and everything else, because look what happened to those people.
They got clobbered hard.
That's what the narrative is going to be.
And in order to push that narrative to say that the CBDCs are safe...
They have to create a lot of pain and suffering in the regular crypto marketplace.
So how do they do that?
Well, in my opinion, it's very simple.
The central banks own a lot of Bitcoin.
They own a lot of the crypto.
Many of the whales in the crypto industry are, in fact, just proxy accounts for central banks because the central banks, they can just print money and they can use it to buy up a big chunk of Bitcoin or other coins.
And then on command, they can crash the crypto market and then point fingers at it.
Point fingers at the dumpster fire.
Look at that horrible dumpster fire.
Look at how many people are seeing their wealth go up in flames, even though they engineered it themselves.
And then they'll present the alternative.
Good thing we have a much safer central bank digital currency.
Don't you want that?
All you have to do is give up all your privacy.
And let the government know how you're spending and receiving money and let the government automatically deduct the taxes you owe.
And they'll have, you know, all kinds of incentives too, like, of course, a universal basic income.
Don't you want $1,000 a month in free digital money?
Well, all you got to do, sign up for the central bank digital currency.
You get into this digital wallet, you're going to get $1,000 a month free of charge.
And then when the food scarcity gets really bad and they have the food rationing system, guess how you're going to be allowed to buy food?
Oh, you have to have a Fed digital wallet to buy food.
Well, they don't take cash anymore.
Because then they can't track how much food you're buying, you see.
So if you don't want to starve, you're going to have to use the central bank digital currency.
You see, they're going to have all kinds of punishments if you don't use it, and incentives if you do.
And that's what they're going to roll out.
And to really carry it out, they have to crush the decentralized peer-to-peer crypto system.
So if you're listening, you think, well, that's a mixed message.
Like, Mike, are you in favor of Bitcoin or are you opposed to Bitcoin?
Hey, I'm in favor of everything that's decentralized.
But I'm opposed to Ponzi scheme speculators and get-rich-quick hucksters who have dominated the crypto industry for the last decade, sadly.
So I don't like the CBDCs and I don't like the crypto Ponzi schemes.
What I want hardly exists.
I want a crypto coin that's backed by physical gold and silver that's really stable and boring and holds value.
And the only one I know that exists like that is called LODE, L-O-D-E. And actually, their coins are called, I think, AGX and AUX. Those are the coins.
They're backed by physical gold and silver, but they don't trade on a lot of exchanges.
So it's not a very popular thing yet.
Maybe it will be.
I hope it will be.
But that's kind of the only one that I see that I would have any trust in.
And even then, I wouldn't trust it as much as having physical gold and silver in your possession, you see.
Because having something in your possession is always better than having it as a proxy, no matter what the asset is.
Oh, here's a story from California.
It's from Cointelegraph.com.
California regulator investing crypto interest accounts.
That's from July 13th.
The regulator said that certain crypto interest account providers were providing unregistered securities, which is illegal, such as BlockFi and Voyager.
And here it is.
The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, I'm sure that's a contradiction, the DFPI, has warned consumers to, quote, exercise extreme caution when dealing with interest-bearing crypto asset accounts.
The DFPI stated that it's investigating multiple crypto interest account providers to determine whether they are, quote, violating laws under the department's jurisdiction.
And they emphasize that these crypto interest providers are not governed by the same rules and protections as banks and credit unions, and that some platforms are, quote, preventing customers from withdrawing or transferring between their accounts.
So look, this is a setup to call for mass regulation of crypto.
That's exactly what this is.
Now, it doesn't mean that these who are the DFP, they're not lying.
What they're saying is true, that these crypto platforms are kind of Ponzi schemes.
That's true, too.
But so is the stock market, folks.
So is the stock market.
And yet that's all perfectly legal.
And yet people can get wiped out there overnight, too.
But, you know, that's allowed because that's the official system.
That's the one the government wants you.
They want to scam you in a system that they control rather than you being scammed in a decentralized system that they don't control.
That's basically all this is.
They want to control scamming you.
And the ultimate scam is that they keep printing the dollar.
So they're stealing from all of you constantly.
Why doesn't the DFPI investigate the Federal Reserve?
You want to talk about a massive scam?
It's the money printing of the dollar.
That's stealing from everybody that's got dollars, which is everybody in America, pretty much.
We're all being looted constantly by the Fed.
That's a crime, is it not?
Isn't that mass theft?
Isn't that bigger than any crypto fraud?
Yeah, the big Ponzi pyramid is the dollar and the Federal Reserve.
But of course, they have special protections, you know, because they're the only debt-printing entity that is officially allowed to scam everybody.
You see, it's always about who's allowed to scam you.
It's like Big Pharma is protected by government too.
Big Pharma is allowed to kill you even, and you can't even sue them because they have, you know, legal protections and legal immunities.
So they're allowed to kill you and scam you and take your money and make your child autistic and so on.
That's always allowed by the government.
But if you dare, if you dare...
Point out something, oh, chlorine dioxide or whatever, then oh my god, you're...
Or an herb, oh my god, you're using dandelion as an herb, you're so evil!
Then, you know, you're banned and censored everywhere, you see.
And here's the other thing.
One more comment on this.
You know how the regulators are freaking out about these crypto platforms freezing the accounts and disallowing withdrawals?
You know, the bail-ins.
You can no longer get your money out.
You can't get your crypto.
You can't transfer it.
You can't use it.
You can't redeem it.
Sorry.
Well, isn't that exactly what the banks are going to do, too?
As the dollar collapses, aren't they going to have bail-ins?
Aren't they going to freeze withdrawals?
Oh, bank holidays, they're called.
And isn't that going to be, of course, protected by the regulators?
Well, the banks had to do it.
They're going to pull a Richard Nixon on this.
They're going to blame, like, foreign currency speculators.
It's those dang foreigners.
They've been speculating on the currency, and they drove the dollar down, and we had to put the banks on a holiday to protect your deposits.
That's the story you're going to get.
We had to protect your deposits, so it's a holiday.
It's just...
All right, we've got to have a little smash mouth accompaniment on this one.
Here we go.
Yeah, every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid.
A holiday, a paid holiday, I got a holiday in my head.
Yeah, that's the bank holiday right there, folks.
It's going to be a bank holiday in your head, and you're not going to get your money out.
But that's going to be all okay with the regulators, because it's for your own good!
That's what's coming.
Trust me on that one.
Not hard to see that future.
It's arriving quickly.
And oh, did you hear all the wealthy people and wealthy corporations are fleeing the state of Illinois because they know what's coming there as the financial collapse hits the state.
Illinois is going to raise taxes to insane levels.
Income taxes and property taxes and probably sales taxes too.
Triple tax.
So, well, I think Citadel left and what Caterpillar has left the state and some other companies and investment funds is just getting out of Illinois, moving to Florida and Texas and places like that.
So there is mass financial migration underway in anticipation of the Democrat-controlled states financially raping the people that live in their states.
That's coming soon.
And at some point, they're going to try to prohibit you from selling and leaving by having an escape tax.
No, seriously, this is going to be coming for California, Illinois, probably New York and places.
An escape tax, if you sell your property and move out, then they'll assess something like an extra 20% on the sale of your property.
Just to punish you for leaving, how dare you leave and take your money with you?
We need your money!
To keep the welfare state going in these places, right?
That's what they're going to say.
The collapse is not far away.
So that's my take on things, folks.
Hope I imparted a lot of knowledge, some good information today, and also a little bit of humor, some smiling moments.
And if you haven't smiled enough, just go back and look at those weird bib photos, the beard bibs at the beginning of this podcast.
That should bring a laugh and a smile to your face and laughter to your heart.
