All right, folks, welcome to the situation update for Thursday, August 4th, 2022.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me today.
And of course, you're going to find this to be an interesting, fun, and informative journey into reality.
You ready?
Ready?
Welcome.
The Twilight Zone is coming in.
You know how woke culture is trying to ruin everything, even backwards in time.
They're trying to retroactively ruin Star Wars and Spider-Man and Captain America and everything.
And of course, since Disney now owns Star Wars, the Lucasfilm sold to Disney, and Disney owns Marvel Comics, so all your favorite characters are now being slowly made gay or bisexual and pretty soon transgender.
So rest assured, Luke Skywalker is going to be like a transgender, like a former biological girl.
Who became a young man and then wanted to fight the Death Star, whatever.
So the latest thing is that according to this book, this Star Wars novel that Disney has put out, they're now suggesting that Obi-Wan Kenobi is bisexual.
Right, right.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is bisexual?
No, my first reaction was, Obi-Wan cannot be.
That's impossible.
He cannot be bisexual because what are you going to do?
Run around and say, may the pox be with you, young Skywalker.
No, that's not going to work.
Although I did always suspect that C-3PO might have been a gay robot, right?
Didn't we all suspect that?
I can speak 1,000 dialects.
I think that's just the cover story, frankly.
I mean, maybe Disney has a point, you know?
Like, the first time you saw Darth Vader enter, he was on the Rebel ship.
He walks in, and you're like, he's wearing a giant black penis helmet, right?
I mean, everybody thought that.
A giant penis helmet!
Even in the 1970s, we're like, something's wrong with this picture.
But now...
Now it's all being made official by Disney.
Bisexuals are going to be transgenders and everything.
I'm sure Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker, I'm sure he'd be happy about that because he's become a radical leftist, you know, like progressive LGBT pusher and everything.
He'd probably like to actually have a sex change and go back and re-film the whole movie as a woman.
Right?
He'd probably go in for that and then...
And if Obi-Wan cannot be, is a bisexual, then he and Obi-Wan, when they're on, what was it, Tatooine, and they're trying to get their sex robots past the security guards, Obi-Wan Kenobi can say, I don't know, maybe with some kind of twisted Irish accent, these are not the gay robots you're looking for!
It's like a little Jedi mind trick by gay Kenobi.
Wokeism has ruined everything, all the TV shows and the documentaries now and Netflix.
I've got a friend who occasionally tells me or sometimes invites me, like, you've got to see this.
He's got Netflix.
So it's like, you've got to see this show or Amazon Prime or whatever.
And the shows that I've seen...
They all have the same exact theme in common, which is that it's this dainty young female who weighs about 110 pounds, and she's always a woman of color.
Might be black, might be Latina.
Might be Middle Eastern, whatever.
And she's somehow always beating the crap out of really strong men.
And all the men in all the shows are depicted as completely useless morons.
But the women are always in charge.
And for some reason, like all the cop shows, have strong black female leads in charge.
It's always a black woman who's in charge.
She's the judge.
She's the chief of police.
You know, she's whatever.
The men are stupid and dumb.
White people are completely discarded as pointless and useless.
But young, small, dainty women of color are the heroes of everything.
They're the smartest ones.
They're the most capable.
And somehow they're the strongest, too.
They're physically the strongest.
And there was this new show.
I don't even know what the name of it is, but it was this Latina girl who was in a plane crash with two white guys who both just died, like right away, they died in the crash.
And she has to go through this kind of survival, like figuring out how to survive.
The entire premise of the show essentially is, look at how amazing it is that a Latina girl can figure out how to not die.
Like that's the whole premise.
She figures out how to start a fire eventually.
She figures out how to eat berries without poisoning herself eventually.
She figures out how to not get rained on eventually.
And I'm thinking, really, is this a show?
The amazing part is that a Latina attorney, the character is an attorney, that a Latina attorney can figure out how to not die in the wilderness?
Are we supposed to be impressed by that?
Because That used to be common survival skills, frankly, of all Latino people who lived out in rural Mexico or rural Central America, rural South America.
This used to be common knowledge.
We shouldn't have to make a show about this.
But apparently it's highly impressive right now when a young Latina girl figures out how to not die in the wilderness.
But personally, I'm not impressed.
Really want to impress me, have a Netflix series about a young Latina girl that manages to not get pregnant by the age of 20.
That would be a breakthrough show right there.
That would be amazing.
Look, is she infertile?
What's going on?
Is she hated?
Like, how does she not get pregnant by age 20?
That would be amazing.
And folks, before you get your panties on a bunch, just remember these are jokes, okay?
I'm joking about culture right now because I think it's fair game to joke about all cultures and joke about pop culture and how they depict everything.
Like, you know, growing up, All the white men in the movies were, of course, the heroes and the smart ones and the saviors.
And now all the white men are the dumbest morons on TV or in the show.
And they're just completely useless and pointless.
And they don't know how to do anything either.
That's what's amazing is how they just dumb down the white male characters.
But again, it's always a young woman of color who has all the answers and all the knowledge and can figure everything out.
Just makes you wonder, why are they so desperate to do this?
Why can't they just show something that's more representative of reality?
And in truth, in reality, there are smart white men and there are some stupid ones too.
There are smart young Latina women and there are some really stupid ones too.
I mean, isn't this true across every race and ethnicity and country of origin?
There are some smart people, there are some stupid people.
But it's kind of mix and match.
I mean, it's kind of like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're going to get.
Some of them are brighter than others.
Some of them not so bright.
And that's true across every skin color and race, isn't it?
Isn't that?
It's a universal thing.
But the other thing I notice in these shows that's kind of...
I'm going to ask you this.
I don't know the answer, but this is weird.
What is it where now, for some reason, every couple, in every show, it seems, every couple has to be And I'm not opposed to this, but I just want to say what it is.
Let me just give you a statement of observation.
Every couple is mixed race, white and black.
And it's just, again, I'm not opposed to that at all.
I'm not opposed to mixed race couples in any way whatsoever.
I'm just confused why every couple on TV or in a show or in a movie now has to be a mixed race couple.
And it's never like a white guy and an Asian wife or an Asian guy and a white wife.
It's never like Asian.
It's never a mixed race with Latino and white or Latino and Asian.
No.
For some reason, it's always one black person, one white person.
And I don't know why.
I'm just, I'm observing this and going, wow, again?
What are they, like, what's the point?
Why are they doing this?
Because they're obviously, this is a contrived thing.
Why are they doing it?
Again, I'm not opposed to it.
It doesn't matter to me.
There's plenty of wonderful couples where one person's white and one person's black.
I'm totally fine with that.
I mean, even comedian Bill Burr, isn't his wife black, I believe?
Yeah.
There's no problem with that.
Or if a black comedian married a white woman, I don't have any issue with that.
None whatsoever.
I'm just wondering, why are they shoving this in our face constantly?
And does that even do anything?
What are they trying to convince people that mixed race couples are the norm?
I mean, does anybody have an issue with that in any way?
I just...
Why are they so desperate to put that in our faces?
I don't know.
I don't understand it.
But clearly a memo went out.
You know how the memos go out to all the scriptwriters and they just do whatever they're told.
And like when the CDC told them, like, everybody make fun of anti-vaxxers in all your shows.
You know, condemn anti-vaxxers in your cop shows and your comedy shows and your family shows.
Well, somehow the memo went out, like, make sure all your shows have a mixed-race couple as the dominant couple of In the show.
It's got to be one white person, one black person, and that's it.
There are no other options, period.
Like, they can't even have two black people.
It's got to be one white and one black.
I don't understand why, but the memo went out.
Alright, I've done some interesting interviews in the past day.
I was interviewed by David Wolf.
David Avocado Wolf had a really great conversation.
He's an amazing guy, and he and I go way back.
And we both now live in Texas, which is interesting.
I also interviewed Steve Quayle.
And let me share something about that interview.
Because I was mentioning to Steve Quayle about the British Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.
And as you recall, in that opening ceremony, which I showed you yesterday, there's this giant demon bale creature, the horned bull from hell, in the hellscape with the burning lava perimeter and the arena and the devil worshippers, the rituals, you know, all for the world to see is Luciferian Satan worship, you know, right in public view.
And I was telling Steve Quayle, did you know that there were 72 countries involved in that?
72.
And he said, whoa, 72?
He said, that's really, that's like a spooky coincidence.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
He said, Mike, there are 72 Hellgate portals on planet Earth.
And he went on to describe these portals that Quite literally, as he described it, allow the streaming in of extra-dimensional demonic entities into this realm, and they go through 72 Hellgate portals.
And I already knew that the demon worship rituals are designed to open portals.
That's why the rituals are performed publicly.
It's about opening portals.
And when I say portals, what I mean is to allow entities from...
Hell, or let's say hell dimensions, to come into this 3D physical world, and then once they're in this world, they can infest people, they can possess people, and in some cases, if there's enough energy, they can take physical form, and that's how you get actual demon creatures in this world, which we've talked about before.
Well, Steve said 72.
That's the number of the Hellgate portals, and if you're listening to this, you're like, I don't know if I believe that.
Okay, fine.
That's That's fine.
I'm just sharing with you that this is what Steve Quayle, who has studied a lot of this, and he knows all about Skinwalker Ranch.
You should look that up, Skinwalker Ranch and the demon creatures.
And, you know, Steve is in touch with a lot of, shall we say, Supernatural Special Forces characters.
Combative team members.
And I think their slogan is we hunt down things that go bump in the night and then we bump back.
Something like that.
That's their slogan.
So they actually engage in warfare and combat with supernatural creatures as Steve Quill has described in multiple interviews.
So again, whether you believe it or not, it's fine.
It's fine.
But You've got to ask yourself, why are they performing these demonic rituals, right?
In public view at the Commonwealth Games, why does it involve 72 nations?
Well, it turns out I looked closer at the number 72, and I came to realize, my goodness, 72 is 666, because 72 is 6 times 6 plus 6.
You've got to put the parentheses in the right place.
So 6 plus 6 is 12, and then the 12 times 6 is 72.
And so the number 72, and I never really thought about it this way before, but the number 72 is one rendition of 666, and that's why there's 72 hellgates, and that's why there's 72 nations apparently involved in this public demonic ritual.
I found that really kind of an odd coincidence, you might say.
By the way, on the subject of 666, I'm not into numerology type of things, but what I've come to discover is that the number 666, it's a dog whistle that's used by Satanists To alert everybody else to let them know that their organization is actually run by Satanists as well.
So if you wonder, why are there 666 figures that are in all these logos?
Like the Google Chrome logo is 666.
The CERN logo, 666.
I even published this on Natural News.
The NIH logo is embedded 666.
I mean, it's right there in front of you.
Once you're told this, you go look at the NIH logo, and you're like, wow, that's just 666, all embedded within each other.
And why is that there?
It's all so that all the Satanists in the world can understand that the NIH is controlled by Luciferian forces, and that Google is controlled by Luciferians, and that monster drinks are The three claw marks that they have in Hebrew, that's 666.
And the slogan of the drink, I believe, even says, like, unleash your inner beast, which is right out of the book of Revelation chapter 13 that we were talking about yesterday.
The beast, you know, rising out of the ocean and then the beast rising out of the earth and then the mark of the beast and then the number 666.
You know, look.
These Luciferians use that number to signal each other, and that's why this number is all over the place in corporate logos and in Google, you know, tech companies, governments, and so on.
Now, what I find really fascinating is that now they have a symbol that goes along with 666, and that's the LGBT flag.
So all these institutions and corporations that are all about 666, they are also 100% into the LGBT flag.
So really, LGBT, especially the T, the transgenderism, which you might also call transhumanism, is about Satanism.
It's about mutilating the children whose bodies are created in the image of God.
So think about that, that the rainbow flag, the LGBT flag, is actually Satan claiming dominion over that embassy or that corporation or that government or that nation or that world.
That's what the flag means.
It's a claim of occupation and dominion right out of the book of Revelation.
So when these sports institutions, they want to force the players to wear the LGBT colors, What they're actually demanding that they do is to wear the uniform of Lucifer.
And that's why a lot of these sports players are refusing to do it.
Say, no, I won't wear the LGBT symbols on my sports uniform.
I won't play.
I won't wear that in public.
Because they're refusing to be branded by Satan, which, frankly, is understandable.
Yeah.
But isn't it interesting that the sports organizations and the Commonwealth Games, which is all about the sports of the world, is all about open devil worship.
And they have the symbols, and they have the obedience demands, and they have the audience of the world watching as they claim dominion over Earth and humankind.
Fascinating.
Now, we're going to get into some other subjects today, by the way.
And to change the subject right now, Del Bigtree from The High Wire, he put out an article recently, well, a video, asking, are we the chosen ones?
And by we, he means the unvaccinated.
And by chosen ones, what he's alluding to is this idea that, well, let's say the globalists wanted to exterminate billions of people on planet Earth, but they needed a test.
They needed a way to exterminate only the least intelligent human beings or the most gullible, the most easily tricked.
Like some kind of a global IQ test, which is a phrase that I've used before because I've actually said this is exactly what's happening.
And as Del Bigtree explains it, I'm paraphrasing.
What if the globalists figured out that the way to do this is to actually get kind of low IQ gullible people to line up and commit kind of a self-euthanasia with an injection?
It's like a death shot.
It just takes a while, you know, for the clots to form and so on.
But it's really a euthanasia program designed to ensnare the lowest IQ people on the planet.
And then effectively to leave behind those who are more intelligent.
Now, what's fascinating about this theory, and I don't know if this theory is true or not.
That's up for you to decide.
But what's fascinating about this theory is, in kind of discussing this theory, it would be espousing some kind of positive intent to the globalist depopulation effort, would it not?
I mean, isn't that saying that...
in some way that globalists are kind of cleansing And I think that that's one of the questions that Del Bigtree is asking.
He's like, is this going on?
And he's not in any way advocating such a thing, nor am I. I think we're both just looking at this and asking questions like, is this the plan?
Or maybe this is what the globalists tell themselves.
This is how they sleep at night, saying to themselves that, oh, we're saving humanity by killing off the dumbest 50% or 90% or whatever their number is.
And I ask you, do you think that's what's going on?
I mean, I don't have the answer to it.
I'm curious too.
Do you think that's what's going on?
I do know that the people who just signed up for all the vaccines and then kept taking boosters, I think that's the most important part.
There were a lot of very smart people that took the first shot or even the second, but you've got to be really low IQ to keep taking number three and number four and on and on, right?
That's the ultimate...
Dumbing down tests right there.
And it seems to me that the death rates are really increasing now after the third shot and the fourth shot.
So I'm wondering that if the globalists have this as their plan, did they save the more fatal shots for number three and four?
And what about number five?
Are they making them more fatal as time goes on?
Because In the globalist point of view here, in this theory, they're like, you've got to be so stupid to keep taking these boosters, we're going to make each one like 10% more deadly or something, right?
Like, if you're dumb enough and lucky enough to make it to shot number six, then that one's got a 50% death rate or something.
And if you make it to shot, you know, nine, that's going to kill you for sure.
I mean, is this what they're doing?
I don't know, but it's an intriguing theory.
But then it makes you wonder, at the end of all this, are the globalists going to have a big coming out party after they've killed like 7 billion people?
And then the globalists are going to announce, hey everybody who's still here, by the way, sorry about that, we had to find a way to kill off the 7 billion dumbest people on the planet and you passed the test and now we're all going to be friends and get along together and have human civilization.
Is that going to work if they do that?
Because I'm pretty sure the remaining billion people might be pretty pissed off about losing all their family members and friends and co-workers and so on.
And in some cases, children.
You know, not going to be too happy about that.
I'm just wondering, do the globalists think that we're going to look at them as saviors?
Like, oh, thank you for killing seven billion people.
We're so grateful that you left us still living.
I don't think that's going to fly.
But if the globalists do that, at that point, would they also come out and say, oh, by the way, you can forget about all that LGBT stuff and the transgenderisms.
We're just trying to achieve mass infertility and confusion.
So we can now make Obi-Wan Kenobi not gay again.
Whew!
Thank goodness!
Are they going to just reverse the culture wars?
Oh, all that part about grooming and genital mutilation?
Yeah, um, never mind.
We were just running an op, a psyop on humanity, and now it's done.
We're done.
Okay, let's all get along.
Are we going to get George Soros' kind of confession one day about all this?
Like, he's going to take over all the airwaves and broadcast all over the world, and he's going to apologize to the remaining human survivors, you know, in his slug-like Austrian or German accent, whatever it is.
We are very, very sorry.
About killing most of the world.
Please accept our apologies.
It's just, again, I don't think anybody's going to buy it.
I just have one question and maybe one potential solution.
Maybe I should ask Steve Quill.
If these rituals are opening 72 hell gates, can we shove some people through those gates and send them to the other side?
Could we line up George Soros in front of one of the gates and just, you know, wait for the ceremonies.
Look, the gate's opening!
Like, quick!
Boot to the rear, you know, kick him through there.
And he flies in, and he ends up in hell.
Like, that's...
It would be like a cosmic garbage disposal system.
We could think of all kinds of people.
I mean, you have 72 gates.
I'm pretty sure we could find 72 people.
To just push through those gates like, oh, let's line up Anthony Fauci over here for sure.
Hillary Clinton gets her own gate.
That's no question.
Let's name that, the Clinton gate.
Let's see if we can dig up Jeffrey Epstein's body and actually shove him through another gate, the Epstein portal.
Pretty sure we could probably line up a bunch of Google executives to be shoved through the gate.
And while we're at it, how about some executives from Tyson Farms, you know, with all the cruelty to the chickens and the cows and everything?
Just, you know, it's not just about the meat industry.
It's about extreme cruelty to all these animals.
Let's take all the animal cruelty lunatics and kick them through the gates.
I mean, we've got 72 to work with here.
There's plenty to go around.
Let's find deserving people.
How about some of the surgeons that do breast mutilations of young teenage girls who have been talked into transgenderism?
How about that?
Yeah, if you cut off breasts of small girls or penises of small boys, you get a gate also.
We're going to boot you through the gate.
Good luck on the other side where, I don't know, you might find your friends over there.
It could be people you know already there.
Like, if you were to kick Barack Obama through one of the hell gates, he shows up on the other side and Satan's like, what are you doing back so soon?
The agreement wasn't until, you know, humanity was destroyed.
You're early, right?
And Barack Obama, no, they kicked me back in here.
Send me back.
There's more work yet to be done to destroy humanity, right?
So there'd be like a hell gate war of...
Lucifer trying to kick people back into this realm, and then our people trying to kick demon people into the hellscape world back and forth, eventually realizing, we gotta destroy these hell gates, you know?
Somebody's gotta take these things out.
How do you do that?
And then if you think about it, you realize that's the entire plot of the Avengers movie in New York City where a giant portal from hell opened in the sky and giant flying demon slugs came in from an alternate dimension and tried to destroy humanity.
That's the movie!
So don't think that I'm the first one to think of this or that Steve Quayle is.
No, this is also depicted in Marvel Comics movies.
Oh, we've got to reserve a bunch of these for the abortionists, though.
We might have to have like a round two, like after the first 72 get kicked through.
Let's line up the next 72 who should all be abortionists.
And frankly, we might have to do several rounds of that, like 10 rounds of kicking abortionists back to hell.
It might take, you know, 72 times 10.
We could get 720 abortionists through the gates and then close them down.
Hurry.
Wait, wait, before you close them, we've got to send in those lunatics who have been protesting Dave Chappelle.
It's like these demon, radical, left-wing, white people creatures.
I don't know that they're protesting Dave Chappelle for some reason.
Not a black person among them.
Even Dave Chappelle himself said, I would have more respect for these protests if y'all could find one black person to join the protest.
But no!
There's no black people.
There's a bunch of demon people protesting Dave Chappelle, you know, because...
He's not bowing down to the transgenderism, obedience training.
He's not into that.
Thank God.
And so Dave Chappelle has developed this amazing ability to bring out the demon people from their basements or dungeons or wherever they lurk normally.
Their coffins.
I have to like...
Shove the lids off and then rise up in the moonlight.
Beware of the sun!
You know, like vampires and undead creatures and so on.
And they protest Dave Chappelle.
And a bunch of them got arrested recently.
Some pretty crazy people.
There are all these crazy demonic white Satanists.
And it's a little embarrassing, actually, for Caucasians.
Couldn't you have at least one demonic person of color in that group?
Why is it always white people in the demon groups over there?
That's a little embarrassing.
Even Dave Chappelle has noticed that.
These crazy demon-worshipping Luciferian white liberal lunatics.
What's going on here?
I hope he jokes about it more.
But really, I didn't start this podcast to talk to you about that.
I'm just trying to get that out of the way to get to the real stories here.
And let's go to the first one.
It's just sometimes I'm reluctant to get to these stories because it's deep.
It's deep.
I feel like it might take an hour to really go through.
I don't have an hour, and you don't either.
Let's just try it, okay?
First story.
And this one comes from Zero Hedge.
To stop inflation protests, Panama fixes prices of groceries and medicine.
All right?
So in Panama now...
We have price fixing taking place.
So let's go through this and explain the dynamic here because this is going to spread around the world.
Remember my prediction.
We're going to have price fixing in America.
We're going to have also rationing of groceries in America probably sometime in early 2023 is my guess.
But after enduring weeks of increasingly intense protests, strikes, and highway blockages that led to fuel and other product shortages, the Panamanian government last week announced it would exert control over the price of 72 food items.
72?
Again?
And this week agreed to impose price caps on 150 medicines.
So, quote, quote, Okay.
So, the agreement covers actions to ensure the price stability of 72 products, including rice, bread, fish, sausages, chicken, vegetables, legumes, as well as cleaning and toiletries products.
Okay, so your teepee and your dish soap and your rice and whatever.
Now then, Cortizo also capped the price of gas at $3.95 a gallon for all buyers.
That's 24% lower than the end of June price.
And then he promised he's going to have price caps on 10 other basic goods, including, get this, pasta, beef loin.
Like, for some reason, beef loin is really high on this list.
We can't afford beef loin!
Vegetable oil and canned sardines.
This sounds like a horrible recipe, by the way.
I don't know what they're making.
But, okay, you add beef loin and canned sardines and some pasta.
You know, it's like a pasta salad with beef loin.
But even after that, the demonstrations continued with roadblocks imposed on many highways, including the critical Pan-American Highway.
That prompted Cortizo to cut the price of gas just six days later, that time to $3.25.
I guess there wasn't enough beef loin, huh?
That's what happens.
You get the beef loin shortage.
That's bad.
But you understand that Cortizo here is trying to buy peace with price controls, thinking that, well, if people can afford food and gas, they won't rise up.
Now, this can work very temporarily, but here's the problem.
This is where this always leads.
This is where it's going to happen in America, too.
Price controls always lead to scarcity.
They lead to shortages, because think about how these price controls work and And I'm not going to talk very long about this because you probably already get it.
But, you know, the government says to the retail store, oh, you can't sell, let's say, beef loin for whatever reason.
That's really popular.
You can't sell beef loin at more than five dollars a pound.
So the grocery store looks at its books and it's looking at what is the cost of beef loin?
And the cost of beef loin, let's say, is $5 a pound.
And the grocery store is like, why would we sell beef loin if we make no money selling it, but we have to cover all the overhead of transporting it and keeping it cool and packaging it and handling returns and paying the cashiers and having the overhead and all that stuff.
There's no point in selling beef loin at all.
So the grocery store just stops buying beef loin because that's on the list of price controls, right?
So pretty soon the beef loin is gone.
There's no beef loin, but there's other forms of beef that aren't on the price control list that the grocery store can still sell and actually make enough of a margin to stay in business.
Let's say there's ground beef.
Or beef ribs or whatever.
Let's just say there's ground beef.
So they sell ground beef at whatever the market price is, but that keeps going up and up and up because, of course, well, they're on the dollar, so there's inflation, there's more money printing, and there's drought, the cattle herds aren't doing well, there's increased costs of diesel fuel, which raises the cost of transportation, and so on and so forth.
Lack of fertilizer means lack of grain to feed the cattle, so there's not as much beef available in the supply chain.
You get the idea.
So the price of ground beef starts creeping up.
Oh, now it's $5.
Now it's $6.
Now it's $7.
So then, at some point, the protests begin again.
We need affordable ground beef!
You know, setting tires on fire, throwing, like, paint bombs, like, rotten eggs at the governor's car, whatever.
And so then Cortizo or whoever's in charge is going to say, well, now we have to have more price controls.
Let's expand it to cover ground beef and these other things.
And so you see the cycle.
So then ground beef is price controlled and then the grocery store says, well, let's stop selling that.
Because we can't lose money on it.
So eventually, one by one, the grocery store just stops selling everything that is price-controlled because you can't stay in business losing money, giving money away to customers every time they buy something.
That's not a sustainable revenue model.
So eventually, you just have to stop selling everything.
And what does that look like at retail?
Oh, it looks like empty freaking shelves.
Scarcity.
And that's when you're asking, like the old Wendy's commercial, where's the beef?
Oh, it's gone.
It was all price controlled out of the supply chain.
You can't get it now at retail, but you know where you can get it?
Oh, on the black market.
That's right.
Because, you know, Paco the beef farmer over there, he did have his cow butchered and he's not selling beef to the grocery store because the grocery store is not buying it.
For the reasons we already discussed.
So Paco is taking the beef and he's selling it to family and friends.
And Paco has a cousin with a little truck.
And Paco's cousin has a cooler and a truck.
And he drives around, quote, illegally selling beef to people who actually want to pay for it and eat beef at $8 a pound, let's say.
So Paco is now a beef smuggler.
Poor little Paco's cousin is a beef smuggler.
And now the police in Panama are out looking for Paco's cousin and his illegal beef smuggling operation.
So now you're criminalizing people engaging in free market operations who are just fulfilling a need for a basic food item that people want to buy.
And they want to buy it so much they're willing to meet in dark parking lots and under bridges and secret alleyways and get like black market beef.
The problem with black market beef is that Paco's cousin's cooler runs out of ice from time to time and the beef isn't kept frozen.
Not really.
You know, kind of frozen, kind of not.
Very much like a Central American kind of approach to thing.
Maybe a little bit of South American in there too.
Is it frozen?
Kind of.
It's been frozen.
It's frozen now.
We don't know what happened between then and now, but it's frozen now.
Do you want to buy it, you know?
So then people start buying the kind of frozen Paco's Cousins discount beef on the black market, and then they get sick from food poisoning because you don't have the safety standards because you're not selling them through retail chains that normally would have some kind of standards or some kind and then they get sick from food poisoning because you don't have the safety standards because you're not selling them through retail chains that normally would have some kind of standards
I'm not sure how that works in Panama, but you would imagine there's got to be inspections every once in a while.
So then all these people get sick and they show up in the Panamanian hospital, and then there's an investigation launched by the health inspectors who don't have anything to do because the grocery stores are not selling beef anymore.
So they focus on this outbreak of sickness.
And they ask everybody, what did you eat and where did you get it?
And then they get turned on to Paco's cousin.
Paco's cousin gets arrested.
Paco gets arrested.
Everybody goes to jail.
And then the cattle operation is totally shut down because Paco's not there to raise the cattle.
Now you've destroyed the supply chain that used to supply the grocery store.
And even if you were to lift the price controls, you don't have the meat anymore anyway, because all those people have been thrown in jail and the cows have been slaughtered and sold off.
You see how this works.
This is why communism sucks.
Centrally planned economies suck.
And usually when governments get involved in price controls, the results are catastrophic.
And this is no exception.
And in the bigger picture, by the way, the price controls don't solve the long-term problem.
The problem is really twofold.
Part of it is money printing by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
That's the biggest part of the problem.
That's the number one cause of inflation.
The second part of the problem is the deliberately engineered scarcity of the food supply by taking down fertilizer, Spiking the price of diesel, you know, disrupting transportation, having the railroads no longer carrying fertilizer on the rail cars, it can't reach farmers, having supply chain disruptions of agricultural equipment, and so on and so forth.
So there's less food available in the first place.
So the inflation on food is a double whammy.
So whatever price controls you put on that food are only temporary anyway.
Either the food's going to run out, you're going to have empty shelves, or you're going to have to release the price controls and let the prices find some market equilibrium.
And when it does, those prices are going to be so high, people are going to protest in the streets anyway.
So you see, the people in this scenario, the people are either going to be angry about not having food on the shelves, or they're going to be angry about food on the shelves that they can't afford.
Either way, sooner or later, they protest.
Either way.
They either protest while starving or they protest in anticipation of starving.
Those are the only two outcomes here unless you solve the core problem of why is this food so expensive to bring to market?
Why is there so much money printing?
Why is the dollar losing so much of its value?
Why are the globalists shutting down all the food farms and killing off all the cattle and stopping fertilizer?
You know, all these things.
So understand, not only is Panama going to erupt into something more like a Sri Lanka type of scenario, mass uprisings, probably a total collapse of the government coming, but this is going to spread throughout not just Central and South America, but to North America.
Because remember, we're all Americans, folks.
Panamanians are Americans.
They're just in the central part of America.
And, you know, Brazilians are Americans.
Colombians are Americans.
We're just North Americans here in the United States.
We're all going to face the same exact problem.
Food scarcity and food inflation.
And the chaos is going to spread.
I mean, it's already in Sri Lanka, which obviously is not part of America.
It's also in the Middle East.
It's beginning to emerge in certain parts of Europe.
You're going to see it in Southeast Asia.
You're going to see it in North America and Canada coming real soon, before the end of this year.
Get ready.
Just remember that when you see price controls, it's the last desperate ploy of a failed nation, well, a failed fiat currency system.
And the implosion is not far behind.
The total economic collapse of the system is now...
It's really obvious.
It's just a question of when, you know, how long it takes for this whole system to unwind.
But price controls are one of the key milestones, as are rationing.
Remember, when rationing kicks in, That's when everybody is going to wish they knew how to grow food or had some extra food stored that could keep them alive for a while.
Now we're going to shift gears to the situation in Taiwan, China.
Nancy Pelosi and all that because we've got a new analysis that's very important, I think, in that realm.
The conclusion of this is going to, well, it's going to point to doubling down on preparedness.
No doubt about that.
So I'm just going to mention up front some of the preparedness resources.
Give our sponsors some credit.
The satellite phone store, as you know, sat123.com or sat123.com.
They've got the bivy sticks, the two-way satellite messaging devices.
They've got the push-to-talk satellite walkie-talkies that I'm playing with right now.
Those are pretty cool.
And they've also got, well, no, they don't have satellite phones anymore, but they do have the solar generators, the solar power storage devices made by EcoFlow.
And I've got several of those.
I've actually had them for several years.
I mean, some of them.
And I'm going to do a video review of some of this tech coming up shortly.
You can find all that at sat123.com.
Now, one of the reasons it's so important to get certain pieces of equipment now rather than later is because of the microchip supply that comes out of Taiwan.
You're probably well aware of this situation, but the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation It manufactures key components using circuitry at the 2 nanometer scale, which is the best in the world currently.
And Taiwan is the number one producer and exporter of these microchips.
They're all custom made.
There's a long, long wait period right now.
These microchips are used in iPhones, mobile devices, military equipment in the United States, aircraft, transportation.
You know, everything.
Radios, communications, power systems, as well as trucks, cars, and other automobiles.
But the point is, we're headed into a Chinese blockade of Taiwan.
And that's my conclusion of where this is headed.
I'm going to go through that here shortly.
When the blockade kicks in, there will be no microchips coming out of Taiwan.
So if you need anything that's going to use microchips...
Which could also include appliances, optics devices, you know, again, anything with microchips, computers and so on, communications equipment, routers, I don't know.
Anything with complex microchips, you're probably not going to be able to get it Real soon here, after China implements a total blockade of Taiwan.
Now, China right now has surrounded the island with military exercises and live fire warnings, and they have cut off the airspace to most commercial flights coming out of Taiwan.
And, you know, I had my crew check all the Taiwan local news in Chinese about what's going on.
It turns out that the government of Taiwan has been negotiating with Japan and the Philippines to open up commercial air routes to the north and the south.
Because remember, Japan is to the north of Taiwan, Philippines is to the south.
Those are the only routes that the commercial airlines can currently take.
Exiting Taipei or the Chiang Kai-shek airport there or the other airports in Taiwan.
They can't fly directly east across the Pacific from Taiwan because that crosses over the Chinese live fire military exercise zones.
So effectively, as of right now, China has locked down Taiwan and Most of it's airspace.
I would say about 80% of Taiwan's airspace is locked down.
There are still, again, some commercial flights that can get in and out to the north and the south, but not through the normal routes.
So there's extra flight time now required for those flights.
So, in effect, China is practicing for the upcoming real deal of a blockade of Taiwan using maritime vessels, i.e.
ships and navy, combined with an air blockade, airspace, using fighter jets out of China.
Now, this is a very, very dangerous situation for all kinds of reasons.
But adding to that, we have two aircraft carrier groups from the United States that are converging on this area, the USS Tripoli and the USS Ronald Reagan.
And these are not just ships.
I think there's another group that's approaching this as well.
USS America, I believe.
These are not just individual ships.
These are carrier groups, so all kinds of support ships and so on.
I don't know the full makeup, but you would imagine there's destroyers and all kinds of supply ships and things like that.
So this is a battle in the making where China is literally surrounding Taiwan.
And is about to close the cinch on a total blockade of Taiwan.
And then you've got three carrier groups from the United States that are going to try to not let China do that.
And then adding to this, you've got two carrier groups from the PLA, Communist China.
That's the Liaoning group and the Shandong group that are converging on the island of Taiwan.
And then, as if that wasn't enough excitement, Taiwan has medium-range missiles that are fully capable of striking the Three Gorges Dam in mainland China, taking out that dam and effectively destroying China's economy, destroying a lot of electrical productivity, taking out that dam and effectively destroying China's economy, destroying a lot of electrical productivity, flooding many regions, setting off nuclear power plant accidents to the east of If it were destroyed, it would flood the river to the east.
And what else?
Oh, it would probably cause mass starvation as well, may even bring down the CCP. But then mainland China says that if Taiwan strikes the Three Gorges Dam, China will launch nuclear weapons onto Taipei and other Taiwan cities.
So with all of this, the three carrier strike force groups from the United States, the two carrier groups from China, a naval blockade of Taiwan, and an air blockade of Taiwan, Taiwan missiles aimed at the Three Gorges Dam, and China's nuclear missiles aimed at Taiwan.
What could possibly go wrong?
And throw Nancy Pelosi into the mix, and you see how insane this whole situation could possibly get.
Just like one drunken house leader thrown into the mix.
Where could this lead?
So this situation in Taiwan right now has the makings of a catastrophe that could unfold in any moment.
You can imagine how this could go down.
You know, the Chinese are running their live-fire drills.
And then, oops, they accidentally launch missiles at the USS Tripoli.
Oops!
And then the USS Tripoli launches, like, 10 F-35 stealth fighters and then attacks the Liaoning carrier from China and sinks it, let's say.
And then China's like, you sank our carrier!
And then they'd launch nuclear missiles at Los Angeles.
It's not hard to see how this escalation can happen very, very quickly.
But even without the escalation, how is the United States going to break a Chinese attempt at a blockade of Taiwan?
Because, see, in the bigger analysis of what's going down...
It's very clear.
China and the United States are going to go to war at some point.
I mean, China wants to exterminate all Americans.
That's well known.
I've covered that many times.
You know, we have all the previous speeches from the Chinese generals and so on, the leaked audio, the whole deal.
China wants to destroy every American and take over North America and occupy both the United States and Canada.
And Probably eventually Mexico as well.
But China wants all the farmland and all the resources of the present-day United States.
And in order to do that, China needs to attack America, but they don't need to attack Taiwan.
All they need to do is blockade Taiwan.
So I don't believe that China is going to launch some kind of a beach landing invasion of Taiwan.
I don't think that's in the works here.
I think it's going to be a blockade.
And then the initial phases of this war are going to come down to naval warfare between the United States and China to try to break that blockade of Taiwan.
Now, as much as I condemn the Pentagon because a woke military is a joke military, the truth is that the naval forces of the United States are very, very strong and And are very capable.
So if there's one strength in the U.S. military, it's absolutely the Navy.
And, you know, it's no joke what they're doing in these naval forces.
Like, the whole Navy hasn't gone woke yet.
Although that effort is underway to try to purge, you know, normal sane people, especially patriots and Christians.
But that purge hasn't run its course yet.
There are still...
Many very good, honest naval commanders, sailors, and so on.
And even though every U.S. carrier is kind of like a floating high school with all the drama and all the nonsense that goes on in high school, nevertheless, the commanders are still very capable.
And U.S. aircraft carriers combined with U.S. submarines, don't forget about the nuclear-armed submarines, they are able to project quite a lot of force.
I don't think that China can win a naval battle over Taiwan right now.
Ten years down the road, can they?
Probably yes.
When they have a few more aircraft carriers ready to go and actually operational.
See, China has launched...
Aircraft carriers are not really battle-ready.
They're seaworthy.
You can sort of float them around on the ocean, but they're not battle-ready.
And the latest carrier they launched, I don't recall the name of it, it's going to take two more years before it's actually battle-ready.
So right now, that's just a floating sitting duck out there, whatever the name of that one is.
It's not battle ready.
But if China is given another decade, they can absolutely dominate the United States in terms of naval power.
Now, if you look at comparison charts, China has a larger number of naval vessels than the United States Navy.
But that's not an accurate accounting of the ability to project power.
The United States has far more capable naval vessels than China currently does.
But that dynamic will change dramatically over the next decade.
So China would be wise to not get into a fight with the United States Navy at this point.
And if they can wait 10 years, the Navy might go full transgender.
I mean, right?
There might be naval officers in high heels and dresses and pump-up bras and whatever who don't have any idea what they're doing.
But that's not the case yet.
Right now, the naval personnel can still, for the most part, do their jobs.
So I think that China's only play here is to either just kind of harass Taiwan at a lower level, And pull off some economic stuff like, I don't know, we're going to stop selling you these products or we're going to stop importing this stuff from Taiwan or we're going to launch missiles at this little island where nobody lives and just like blow up this island off the coast of Taiwan or something.
They might do that.
But I don't think they're going to attack Taiwan proper because the response from the United States would be overwhelmingly devastating to China.
But I do know that the Biden regime absolutely wants China to attack America's naval vessels.
This is almost, it's almost like begging China.
I mean, it's almost a false flag, but not really.
It's sort of just provoking China, like, please fire upon one of our aircraft carriers.
Like, please do it.
Give us a reason to destroy you.
That's what the United States Navy is begging for, or at least I should say the White House is begging for, and the Navy is capable of carrying out.
So are we going to get that scenario?
Think about the timing.
Midterm elections are coming.
They need Joe Biden to look presidential, and failing that, they need Nancy Pelosi to look presidential.
Why do you think they sent her there?
I mean, she actually looks like she's got bigger balls than Joe Biden right now.
She probably does.
I mean, she actually landed in Taipei, which Joe Biden would never do.
And if he did, he wouldn't know where he was.
Where am I? Where do I go?
You know, at least Nancy Pelosi knew what city she was in.
So I think this is a major provocation play and that China is going to try to disrupt Taiwan as much as possible in order to further harm America's supply chain.
So with that in mind, this is why I'm kind of saying it's important for us to get the supplies that we need that depend on Taiwan microchips or other things coming out of Taiwan or China.
In other words, a lot of products that you buy today are made in China, obviously.
Some of them depend on components out of Taiwan.
A lot of things also depend on Secure shipping lanes from South Korea or the Philippines or even Japan for that matter.
You'd be surprised how much stuff comes out of the Philippines.
So that whole region being in a battle zone is going to mean a mega disruption of the Asian supply chain and that's going to hurt very, very badly the American economy.
And I think China is counting on that.
You know, if you're China, it's very easy to make it dangerous for ships to sail in certain areas.
All you got to do is drop a bunch of mines.
I mean, and we learned that outside the port of Odessa, where Ukraine was mining the waters there, right?
And then blaming Russia.
For blocking the port.
You mined the port.
You mined the area.
And your mines are floating all out of control there.
I mean, you're not going to send a grain ship through there when there's mines floating around.
Well, China can do that all around Taiwan.
They can effectively just mine it.
So it's easy to block naval transportation.
It's very hard to clear it.
It's very hard to guarantee safe passage.
And it brings up the question, how many carrier groups does the United States have?
So I'm reading from a website here that helps to answer that question.
It turns out, according to the site, there are 11 carrier strike groups, CSGs, controlled by the United States Navy.
Ten of them are, well, let's say one is on permanent duty in Japan, says this website, and then the other ten are wherever the U.S. needs them to be.
Well, I'm doing some research on this here online while I'm talking.
Globalsecurity.org seems to have a list of all the aircraft carriers in the world.
I'm not sure if this is 100% correct, but it seems to show that almost all the aircraft carriers are owned by the USA and that China has one aircraft carrier.
I don't know the date of this, that Russia has one.
India has one.
Brazil even has an aircraft carrier.
France has one.
Is this correct?
No, India has two.
Italy has one and a half, a little runt aircraft there.
But America's got, I don't know, what is this, like 19 or something?
It's a lot.
But whatever the number actually is, America has...
Yeah, here it is, 19 aircraft carriers.
And then the rest of the world only has 12, according to this article.
So that's interesting.
So obviously, my point is that America can project a lot more power into this region.
I don't know where the other...
I mean, if there's three carrier groups there, like where are the other 16?
I don't know.
But they might be on the way.
Probably wouldn't be too hard to locate them.
It's probably a public website about that because you can't really hide these.
But the point is, America can bring a lot of firepower to that area.
And they've got a lot of aircraft and a lot of missiles and a lot of submarines and all kinds of destroyers and so on.
So China's got their hands full here, and they are outgunned big time, especially if they only have one.
Do they really only have one aircraft carrier?
That can't be.
Okay, here's an article from CNN that's fairly recent.
It says, China launches its third most advanced aircraft carrier named Fujian.
So the Fujian carrier is launched from Shanghai's Jiangnan shipyard with new combat systems that experts say are catching up with the United States.
So it has a catapult aircraft carrier, says the Xinhua News Agency.
Anyway, I think this is the one that's still a couple of years away from being operational.
So let's say that China has, in terms of operational aircraft carriers, one or maybe two.
That's probably it.
They don't have three operational aircraft carriers, whereas the United States has, it seems like, 19 or thereabouts.
So do the math on that.
Oh, and this is an interesting factoid.
China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, was an unfinished Soviet-era vessel that Beijing bought from Ukraine in 1998.
And then they had to, you know, update it and fix it, and they finally commissioned that in 2012.
So it took them 14 years to make that sucker battle-worthy.
Because they had to rip out all the Soviet stuff and put in Chinese stuff, I guess.
And then, let's see.
Oh, then they built their first domestically constructed carrier, the Shantong, which means, I guess, East Mountain, which entered service in December of 2019.
So, there we go.
China's got two carriers.
Okay, finally answer that question.
So the bottom line, in terms of naval warfare, whichever country loses an aircraft carrier first is going to be shamed throughout history.
I mean, that's going to cause a lot of embarrassment, a lot of, you know, they're going to lose face over that.
So if the Liaoning is shot up and it sinks, or the Shandong, if that sinks, then China's going to be facing, well, A disaster domestically in terms of the pressure on Xi.
Like, what did you do?
How did you lose an aircraft carrier to the Americans?
In our own territorial waters, no less, right?
So that's what's going to be going down.
Oh, by the way, in the mix of all of this, Russia has one aircraft carrier.
That's it.
Just one.
So one of the real questions is, does China have hypersonic missiles that can take out U.S. aircraft carriers?
Because we believe that Russia does have that technology.
I'm not sure if China has that proven yet.
But we've seen Russia launch those missiles.
I think they're called the Kinza hypersonic missiles.
They've used a couple of them in the Ukraine theater of war.
Kind of interesting.
Can they evade aircraft carrier anti-air defenses?
I don't know.
Maybe we're going to find out.
But that's going to be the key question.
Because if the U.S. has an aircraft carrier that gets destroyed...
Then that's going to show the US to be incredibly weak and then Taiwan is in trouble and the whole world is in trouble, at least the Western world, because China would just start sinking all the US ships and then that's it.
It's over.
Anyway, look, some of these numbers that I mentioned might be slightly out of date.
A lot of other experts on military naval vessels, you know, far more informed than I am.
Just trying to give you kind of a big picture.
But some of those numbers might need some correcting.
It's just, look, the U.S. has a lot more firepower than these other countries on the seas.
That's clear.
And, you know, Taiwan has been described by China as the unsinkable aircraft carrier because it's an island.
Obviously, you can't sink it.
the defense advantages of an island, meaning it's hard to attack Taiwan.
It's hard to land ships on the beaches.
And the island is quite mountainous, of course, making it very easy to defend, but very difficult to occupy, very difficult to attack, difficult to use tanks.
Most of the population in Taiwan is in the urban areas, the main cities, you know, Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Tainan, basically just like four or five key cities that...
That's it.
And there would be a very fierce defense against any kind of tank assault or armored vehicle assault by China.
So I don't think China is going to try to take Taiwan.
I don't think that strategy doesn't even make any sense.
I don't think they would succeed.
So the bottom line, in my view, so far is that if China were to wage a real attack in the coming months, they would be attacking America.
Because frankly, California's beaches are far easier to land on than Taiwan's beaches.
And California has almost no defenses against an ocean invasion, whereas Taiwan has massive shore defenses in anticipation of an attack from China.
So Again, I think the real target is the United States.
But we'll see, right?
We'll see how that goes down.
In the meantime, think about your supply chains.
Think about, and I know I spoke about this yesterday, we have to really triage our purchasing priority in terms of prepping for everything.
It's important to balance your expenditures in a rational kind of way.
But we're also under a lot of time pressure because, well, of the situation in Taiwan, for example, and not knowing how long we're going to be able to count on parts and supplies from the Asia Pacific region.
So that's a legitimate concern.
We should be very, very worried about that.
One more final thought on this, and I'm going to wrap it up, is that Taiwan is not alone in desiring to defend itself against China.
Japan would go to war with China if China attacked Taiwan.
They would have to because Japan can't have an enemy nation, i.e.
Communist China, to their south.
And at the same time, probably Australia would go to war with China.
India would likely go to war with China.
The UK, Germany, and Western European nations as well because they depend on the supply chain from Taiwan just as the United States does.
And I also think that, you know, really, Western nations haven't provided much meaningful stuff to Ukraine.
And Ukraine is a land war that's completely different from a naval war.
So in the land war, first of all, right now, the United States is pretending like the U.S. isn't fighting Russia in Ukraine.
But of course they are.
There are US military personnel all over the place.
They're on the ground in Ukraine.
But they're pretending that they're not.
So they're not able to roll in official military supply lines into Ukraine to supply the American forces or the NATO forces to fight Russia.
So it's kind of like a half-assed approach by NATO. To try to pretend like we're not there, but we're kind of there, but we can't really have supply lines for military supplies.
We can't really put in the best equipment and so on.
So we can't really fight Russia or at least can't claim we're fighting Russia.
So it's kind of a half-hearted or half-assed kind of approach.
Whereas, when it comes to Taiwan, it would not be a half-hearted approach by these nations.
This would be a full commitment of U.S. military forces.
Like, you are officially being attacked by the United States of America, China.
Because, you know, you can't pretend, like, those aren't our aircraft carriers.
No, you can't pretend.
And the battle's not going to take place on the island of Taiwan.
It's going to take place in the waters around, well, and the air above and around Taiwan.
So this is a very different scenario.
You don't want to get into a land war with Russia.
And that's for sure.
Russia's going to win the land war just from their artillery alone.
But at the same time, nobody in the world wants to get into a maritime war with America because America rules the seas.
You see, Russia rules the land.
America rules the seas.
And all of China's troops, they could raise 100 million troops, perhaps.
But can they swim?
I mean, it doesn't matter how many troops they have if it's a naval war.
Those troops are useless, you know, 10 meters off the shore.
You can't have these swimming attack platoon, you know, with flippers and rifles, like, we're coming for you!
No, it doesn't work that way.
So this is a naval war, and America is the dominant force in naval warfare.
So China, my prediction is China harasses Taiwan, China causes disruptions, but ultimately China loses this, and if China escalates it, they lose more.
One or two of its aircraft carriers.
Sounds like those carriers, or at least the first one, the Liaoning, I think is really outdated and probably a floating museum piece, frankly, and wouldn't take much to sink it is my guess.
So China loses this one way or another, and lots of other allies want to help make sure that that happens.
You know, China is the dragon that's starting to get out of control on the world stage.
They're very dangerous in the perception of Japan and even the Philippines, but also South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Europe, and so on.
So there are going to be tremendous efforts to try to keep that dragon caged and keep China within its bounds.
So there you go.
That's my assessment of the situation.
It doesn't mean that we're past the emergency, not by any means.
I mean, China does have nuclear weapons.
And if they get desperate, they could start launching nukes.
That's a bad scenario.
But I don't think they can win with attacking Taiwan.
And I know they can't win a naval engagement.
So there we go.
Remember, China's winning the war against America through infiltration and economic warfare anyway.
China has infiltrated half the governor's offices in America.
Senator Feinstein is on China's payroll.
Half the Democrats are run by China and quite a few of the Republicans as well.
The White House is totally controlled by China.
They don't need a war with aircraft carriers when they're destroying America from within.
That's their ploy, and that's going to take time to get ruled out.
So I think China will back off of this situation in Taiwan.
They don't want a military conflict yet.
They want more time, at least as much as they can muster.
To see America destroyed from within.
And Joe Biden is helping them do that, by the way.
You know, by taking down America's food supply, energy infrastructure, economy, more money printing, more culture wars, internal strife, civil war, all of it.
The rogue DOJ and the FBI running around waging war on the American people.
That's all at the command of China.
So that's what China wants to keep going.
That's how they win, you know, in their view, is to let America tear itself apart.
But we'll see.
All right.

Be ready for anything.
This whole situation could change literally overnight.
So just be prepared.
The next Black Swan is, by definition, unknown.
Could be Three Gorges Dam.
Could be something else.
But black swans are getting ready to fly over us and drop unexpected events upon us.
Have no illusions about that.
Thank you for listening.
God bless you.
We'll talk tomorrow.
Take care.
