Situation Update, 9/29/22 - Hurricane Ian takes out FERTILIZER production for North America...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the situation update for Thursday, September 29th, 2022.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me.
We are going to have quite an incredible guest in the interview segment tonight, if in fact he makes it.
So I'm just going to give you a little teaser.
It's someone that I've never interviewed before and that has extraordinary information to share with us.
And of course, we've got another special guest tomorrow and every single day here, including coming up next week, Karen Kingston.
We've got Michael Yon, we've got Aaron Brickman, and also Brad Cummings, among other people.
It's going to be an extraordinary series of interviews.
And thank you for your feedback.
I understand that everybody likes this format.
I understand that the show is a little bit longer sometime, mostly because I can't keep my segment very short for some reason.
So, you know, bear with me on this.
I'm trying to bring you all the best information.
So let's just jump right into it.
Of course, Hurricane Ian, a devastating strike on Florida.
It hit in the Punta Gorda area near Northport also.
By the way, the storm, I watched it yesterday afternoon and into the evening, and I'm telling you, that storm...
That thing changed course dramatically.
It was headed mostly north, right into Sarasota, or just east of Sarasota, and then it stopped, and it turned due east, and then it moved over to this Punta Gorda.
It's a resort area, I think, or a lot of it is.
There's a harbor there.
There's a lot of ships and resorts and so on, a lot of yachts and boats and everything.
And it just stayed right there for hours and hovered and did not move.
I mean, obviously the winds were spinning like crazy.
And the storm surge was just inundating everything south of there, like Cape Coral.
You can't even believe the water was 25 feet high in some areas, just ocean water, just filling people's homes, submerging entire buildings.
That's how high the water wall was.
And then, after staying there, hovering there for a few hours, it just took off to the northeast and headed right for, let's say, well, kind of Orlando, basically.
That's, I mean, by the time you hear this, it will have moved beyond that, I think.
But this storm is not tracking in a normal fashion.
And so I've reached out to Dane Wigington to see if we can get him on to talk about weather control technology and if he thinks that is at play with this storm.
So we'll find out more there.
It's just very peculiar the way this thing is moving.
Now, secondly, I want to say, of course, prayers and blessings to all the people in Florida who have been impacted by this.
And it's tens of millions of people who are being displaced and economically harmed.
Power outages began yesterday through most of central and southern Florida.
Just there was no power grid functioning.
And, of course, I was in touch with Tina at the satellite phone store because they have an office in Sarasota and they had to evacuate that office.
They had to load up all their gear.
They evacuated, and they were also handing out satellite phones because they still have some, and they were handing out the bivvy stick text messaging devices to first responders, firefighters, law enforcement, all up and down the west coast of Florida.
And I think they're still making those available to any first responders that contact them and need to borrow some of this equipment because, folks, the cell towers are gone.
They're all down.
There's no power.
There's no cell towers.
You know, the gas station pumps don't work.
I mean, this is a temporary wipeout of the infrastructure that normally we come to depend on.
So for those of you in Florida, if somehow you were able to even get this podcast, consider yourself very, very fortunate.
And for those of you outside of Florida, let this be an important lesson for all of us to watch this.
And remember, we have to have backup communications.
We've got to have backup power systems, even small little battery solar generators or power stations or whatever you have.
You've got to have backup systems for water.
You've got to have water filters.
You've got to have backup food supplies.
You've got to have a bug-out bag and a bug-out vehicle set up because you just never know when something is going to strike your area.
It might not be a hurricane.
It might be a cyber attack grid down scenario.
It might be nuclear terrorism.
It might be World War III given what's happening right now with Russia and the Nord Stream pipelines and so on.
But, folks, this hurricane is a stark reminder that we live in an unpredictable world.
And even if it's not mankind screwing things up, well, Mother Nature can throw hurricanes at you like you're living in a giant shooting gallery.
And this has been going on forever, by the way.
This is not, you know, climate change.
And it's got nothing to do with that.
There were hurricanes before combustion engines, folks.
There were hurricanes recorded all throughout the 18th century, 17th century, 16th century, and so on.
This is not anything new.
It's just that there's more property in the way now.
So there's a lot more damage taking place.
And people are more dependent on the infrastructure than they ever used to be.
So it's more difficult to survive a hurricane hit now than it was, you know, in the 1800s, really.
So prayers to all those people who are impacted, and we're going to be working with, well, key partners to see what we can do to help Florida rebuild, to help individuals get back on their feet.
But let me mention a couple of predictions here.
One is that it's currently estimated there may be $70 billion in losses And that might be a low figure by the time this treks its way all the way across Orlando and continues up north and just continues to rip property apart in Florida and even other states, by the way.
Could be more than $70 billion.
Here's a question I have.
Given the supply chain crisis right now, where is anybody in Florida going to get the parts to rebuild everything?
Because Just building normal things right now, it's hard to get the lumber.
It's hard to get some of the pipe, you know, PEX pipe or PVC pipe or plumbing parts.
It's hard to get electrical parts, that's for sure.
Really hard to get copper wiring, aluminum wiring, breaker boxes, all the things that you need Maybe roofing, shingles, and so on.
Where are you going to get all this stuff to rebuild large portions of central Florida?
I think the supply chain doesn't exist for that.
I think, this is just my guess, that a lot of people whose properties were impacted by this storm, they're going to leave Florida for good.
We're going to have refugees leaving Florida who will never go back because you can't even rebuild in some of these areas.
You just don't have the labor.
You don't have the supplies.
And even if Joe Biden declares a big disaster and activates FEMA and a bunch of federal money for this, you know, all the federal money in the world doesn't give you supplies.
I mean, you can print all the money you want.
It doesn't make copper wiring magically appear, does it?
Or concrete or rebar or lumber, all the things that you need, power tools to rebuild.
So I'm predicting that the rebuilding of Florida is going to be about a decade before things are back together, frankly, because of the supply chain crisis.
I don't mean there won't be any progress, but...
To be fully restored, it's going to take quite a long time, a number of years.
Let's say five to ten years to get these areas back, and some people will leave and never go back.
I think that's just the reality of today.
It's hard to build, hard to build anything.
Now there's other economic damage stemming from this that's going to affect all of America and even the world.
So, for example, there are energy companies, you know, oil companies, and it's being reported that about 190,000 barrels per day of crude oil production has been put on pause because of this hurricane.
And that's about 11% of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico output on a normal day.
But there's something else that's even worse.
The largest phosphate fertilizer production company in America, which is named Mosaic, It's located in Central Florida, and they're shut down.
They're shut down.
They supply 50% of the fertilizer to North American farmers.
50%.
That is the phosphate fertilizer.
I know there are other fertilizers, but if you're talking about phosphate, 50% come out of this one company, again called Mosaic.
Their website, if you want to check them out, is mosaicfloridaphosphate.com.
And they mine phosphate and potash.
They make fertilizer.
They provide 12% of the global supply.
And there's a PDF fact sheet that you can find where they talk about how big they are.
They've got multiple phosphate mining and manufacturing sites in West Central Florida.
And they're obviously going to be devastated by this because the hurricane is going right over their facilities.
So you're going to have flooding.
You're going to have infrastructure torn down.
And you're going to have the question, can they rebuild?
Or how quickly can they rebuild?
How are you going to get steel to rebuild the buildings that house the fertilizer?
You've got to rebuild the steel support structures and the roofing.
And again, iron ore is getting shut down all over the world.
Steel production all across Western Europe.
All the steel smelting, or most of it, is shut down at this point.
There's still a major shortage in the steel supply and prices are through the roof.
So how's a fertilizer company going to rebuild?
And if they can't, then guess what?
We have another fertilizer shortage in North America on top of the nitrogen shortage that stems from the lack of natural gas, which has everything to do with Russia and Ukraine and the Nord Stream pipelines and Gazprom and natural gas and all of that because it's putting pressure on the U.S. natural gas supply because a lot of U.S. natural gas is being put onto ships under pressure, LNG, and shipped over to Europe.
So America doesn't have the natural gas supply that we normally have.
So we're going to be lacking both nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers.
So if you thought food inflation or food scarcity was going to be bad before, well, Hurricane Ian just made it way worse.
And if you thought you were in America, oh, it's just Europe that's going to have this problem, think again.
You're going to have food scarcity in America, too.
It's going to get way worse throughout 2023.
It's going to persist through 2024 and beyond.
Remember, it's going to take two years of abundant crop yields just to restore the commodities to normal.
You know, the crop commodities, the grains, and so on.
Two years of good crops to get back to normal.
Well, 2023 is not going to be a year of good crops because of the fertilizer shortage.
If 2024 were a good year and 25 were a good year, then maybe sometime in 2025, food prices might start coming down again.
But that's a best case scenario.
That's if nothing goes wrong and all the problems get fixed.
By 2024, which is highly unlikely, given what's going on in the world.
It's a lot more likely that we're going to have food scarcity, food inflation, mass famine and starvation for, you know, three, five, maybe 10 years to come, folks.
That's what we're looking at here.
For lots of different reasons that have everything to do with world war and economic warfare, economic sanctions or suicide sanctions, plus hurricanes, droughts, which is weather control, geoengineering technology, things like that.
So we are under attack in every way imaginable.
Now, people are on edge like never before.
You've probably noticed this in other people as well, but everybody is on the edge of just freaking out.
There's a sense that's finally kind of caught a lot of mainstream people like, whoa, whoa, whoa, something's wrong.
I don't know what it is, but something's wrong.
That's the overriding thought.
Something feels strange.
I don't know what it is.
Something's wrong here.
Well, let me show you a video of what happened On a sidewalk cafe in Brazil where people were dining.
People are just dining outside on the sidewalk cafe.
And then a few casual joggers just jog by on the sidewalk.
And then someone that's sitting at one of the cafe tables thinks that the joggers are fleeing something.
And so mass panic ensues.
Let me show you this video.
I'm going to narrate it as we play it.
Alright, so here are in Brazil.
Some joggers are jogging by casually and then some diners are like, whoa, what was that?
Something wrong?
What are they running from?
We should get out of here too.
We should go.
Oh my god, other people are going.
And then everyone's like, let's get out of here!
Godzilla!
Or whatever.
Oh my god!
And then people, chairs, people falling down.
It's like, oh my god, what are you running from?
And then here's another jogger.
We're just jogging, people.
It's just a jogging class and I'm just the last jogger.
This is an indication of kind of where we are mentally right now in our world.
It's that everybody's on edge.
Everybody's just ready to lose it and panic.
The reason I want to show you that is because this is what's going to happen in every U.S. city.
Now that video was from Brazil, but the psychology is all the same.
Every U.S. city is going to be just like that when it hits the fan, especially when there's real evidence that something has gone horribly wrong.
So people are going to see something like, oh my gosh, the banks are all closed, or oh my god, giant laser beams out of the sky, or whatever.
Mushroom clouds on the horizon.
Whatever it is, and they're going to lose it.
And that's when you do not want to be in the city at all, which we've covered a thousand times.
Like, don't be in the cities at this point.
So that's the sheeple mentality that dominates humankind.
And all those kind of people that would just see other people running, so they would join and run, too.
There must be something going on.
Let's run!
Let's run!
Those are all people who watch CNN or MSNBC. Now, you know who's in the alt media or independent media because they would be running the opposite direction with cameras rolling, like, where's the danger?
Let's get it on film.
We've got to upload this.
This is amazing.
What's going on?
Like, where's Godzilla?
That would be people like me and others.
We run towards the danger because we want to find out what's happening.
Everybody else is running away, even if they have no clue what's happening.
But there you go.
A little lesson in human psychology.
And by the way, in terms of weather control, now I'm not alleging this at this point, but I'm sure somebody's going to say this, so I'll just share this meme, this thought experiment with you.
I'm pretty sure somebody's going to say that this hurricane was...
to try to create a massive crisis in Florida in order to unseat Ron DeSantis.
That's going to be the theory.
This is a weather weapon to take out DeSantis because you're going to see the media after this now run a blame game on DeSantis like you've never seen before in your entire life.
Everything that happened is going to be blamed on Ron DeSantis.
Oh, look, the roofs were torn off.
It's DeSantis' fault.
Oh, look, you know, a crocodile ate my puppies.
Ron DeSantis did it.
You know, instead of the Russians did it, it's going to be DeSantis did it.
Believe me, you're going to see that for the next six months from the media.
Everything bad about Florida, I mean, all the hurricane damage, which is nobody's fault.
It's Mother Nature doing what she always does.
It's going to be laid at the feet of Ron DeSantis.
But yet, somehow, none of the blame will go to Joe Biden.
There will be no blame about the federal response.
Like, where is FEMA? How come FEMA isn't helping people?
No, you won't hear that.
It'll all be DeSantis' fault.
So that narrative is coming.
They're going to try to use this as a crisis to destroy DeSantis.
Kind of like they use COVID to try to destroy Trump.
Well, and that didn't even succeed.
They still had to rig the election in 2020 because Trump was still winning, even though I think Trump handled the whole thing quite poorly, by the way.
He was very late to wake up to what was happening, and then he was pushing vaccines, and he still got elected.
So imagine that.
But yeah, watch for the massive media campaign.
In other words, the media hurricane will follow Hurricane Ian, you know?
First, you have Ian's sweep through with flooding and winds and destruction, and then the media will sweep through running psychological terrorism operations against Governor DeSantis.
So just be ready for that.
It's going to be the second hurricane.
Now, getting back to the Nord Stream pipeline and Russia and Ukraine and everything that's going on there, you've got to understand that the sabotage of Nord Stream 1 and 2, which was underwater demolitions, it's quite clear that You know, it's obvious that the United States wanted this done.
We saw the videos of Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland and even Senator Ron Johnson saying, you know, we gotta shut it down.
We gotta permanently disable this.
We gotta make sure that we take it out.
I'm paraphrasing, obviously, but that's what they were saying, essentially.
They could have done so in cooperation with the British.
It could have happened in cooperation with some other, maybe Poland because they have a different pipeline.
Who knows?
But clearly the West did this.
That's quite obvious at this point.
And in doing so, they expanded the theater of operations of this war.
And this is a very dangerous precedent.
Now, this was mentioned to me by one of my contacts, former military operator, super secret guy.
And this is what he said to me, that before this, it was all limited to eastern Ukraine, essentially, or at least the territory of Ukraine, some of which is now Russia, according to the referendum vote.
Although that, of course, is disputed by the West and Ukraine.
But nevertheless, that was the theater of operations.
Nobody was attacking any targets outside of basically mostly eastern Ukraine and some southern Ukraine, Crimea area.
I know there were troops temporarily in northern Ukraine and northeastern Ukraine, but for the most part, it's been eastern Ukraine.
Nobody was attacking targets in Germany, let's say, or in Norway or in the United Kingdom or anywhere else.
Well, by attacking this civilian infrastructure target, a pipeline.
That provides energy that feeds Western Europe.
It feeds, frankly, fertilizer production and agriculture.
It feeds industry.
It provides heat and electricity for the power grid.
It keeps Europe on.
Who would bomb infrastructure?
Now, let's see.
If you think about the history of the recent world, which country bombs infrastructure?
Just every chance they get.
Can you think of a case in the Middle East, I don't know, Iraq, where infrastructure was bombed by somebody killing half a million Iraqis because of a lack of electricity and water and functioning power systems and so on?
Oh, who would that be?
Oh, the United States of America!
Yeah, the U.S. military.
They bomb infrastructure.
Whereas Russia has not bombed Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, except for that one time they did some missile strikes to temporarily take down the power grid, but it was back up within about a day or so.
If Russia wanted to take down Ukraine's power grid, they could have done so from day one or they could have done so on any given day since then.
But they chose not to.
Russia does not launch missiles at Ukraine's water supply, electrical power grid.
You know, the the active hospitals and medical institutions in cities like Kiev are.
Now, I do understand that Russia will launch missiles at abandoned hospitals that are being used by Ukrainian soldiers and so on, where all the patients are gone.
It's really just a fortified building at that point that used to be a hospital.
But I'm saying Russia is not targeting Ukrainian infrastructure.
If they were, there would be no bandwidth, there would be no electricity, there would be no water, okay, in places like Kiev and Western Ukraine.
But all those things are basically working in Ukraine because Russia does not target infrastructure.
The United States routinely targets infrastructure.
Again, look at the campaigns in the Middle East.
Look at the campaigns in Somalia.
Look at the way the United States military wages war.
They take out the power grid.
They take out the energy infrastructure.
They take out water systems.
They take out medical infrastructure.
They want to make people starve.
They want to hurt the civilian populations.
That's what they did in the Middle East and they've done it everywhere since then.
By the way, that's a U.S. tactic.
So when you say, well, who blew up Nord Stream pipelines, which is civilian infrastructure, you should first look at the United States because that's their battle plan.
That's their script.
That's what they do.
They don't care about civilians dying and suffering and freezing to death in this case or starving to death because of the lack of fertilizer, you know, because the natural They don't care.
This is a classic U.S. military slash Pentagon slash military industrial complex type of tactic.
And it also expanded the theater of operations.
So now, according to apparently the United States, it's okay to bomb civilian infrastructure, again, according to the Pentagon, outside of the theater of war.
I mean, the previous theater of war.
So now that kind of opens a can of worms, doesn't it?
To say, well, we can hit targets anywhere.
We can hit targets in the Baltic Sea.
Well, what do you think Russia's going to think about this?
They're going to say, well, if you're going to do that, then we'll just have submarines cut all of your internet cables under the Atlantic Ocean or at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Just cut off all the cables between Europe and the United States to see what happens.
How hard would that be for Russia to do?
Not hard at all.
They're probably in the process of doing that.
Because now, again, because of the bombing of Nord Stream, we're playing this escalation game of taking out civilian infrastructure, which is a very, very dangerous escalation that's going to lead to mass death and suffering.
So seriously, if Russia decided to start launching missiles at the power grid or, I don't know, even in the United States, some infrastructure in the U.S. or start launching missiles against, I don't know, ports or something...
Well, you know, the U.S. started this game.
So I'm not surprised, then, that the U.S. State Department has issued an emergency message to Americans to say, basically, get out of Russia as quickly as possible.
There's been a message from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
Quote, U.S. citizens should not travel to Russia, and those residing or traveling in Russia should depart Russia immediately, while limited commercial travel options remain.
Well, what does this message mean?
It means that your travel options are not going to remain.
It means it's all about to come down.
And how does the State Department know that?
Oh, because, well, the State Department is running half these ops with Victoria Nuland, by the way, to take out Russia and to attack civilian infrastructure.
So the United States is about to launch a major Attack against Russia.
You can bet on it.
It's coming.
And Russia's going to retaliate.
Again, you can count on that.
And isn't it just in time to have an emergency and a world war to stop the midterm elections?
Remember, we're, what, 33, 34 days away from Halloween.
This is that window of opportunity for the regime to stop the midterm elections and declare...
Martial law.
Declare an emergency.
Try to carry out gun confiscation and everything.
Shut the banks.
Banks can't function.
We're in a world war.
Force majeure, everybody.
Force majeure.
And how are we going to get there?
Well, the United States is about to launch a major attack on Russia, and they're going to justify it by saying that Russia blew up the pipeline.
When, in fact, the U.S. blew up the pipeline, or at least that's our best guess right now.
It's a pretty solid guess, by the way.
It fits the pattern.
It's got about a 95% confidence on that one.
Maybe a little higher.
96% confidence.
How about that?
We'll go 96%.
And likely this attack is coming within a matter of a few days, maybe a week at most.
I don't know.
I don't think they're going to delay it longer than that.
I think this is going to come very, very soon.
Again, within days, maybe a week, maybe two weeks at the most, let's say.
And it's designed to provoke a massive retaliation from Russia.
They want Russia.
Remember, the Biden regime wants Russia to To declare war and to start launching nuclear weapons before Halloween so that the midterm elections can be canceled.
And you're watching that blueprint plan play out.
That's what this is.
And it's my guess that the Allied attack that's coming is not going to target the new annexed regions of former Ukraine, you know, Luhansk and Donetsk and so on, whatever those regions are.
You know, the four regions that voted.
I think that these attacks are going to target the motherland of Russia because, again, they're designed to provoke a counterattack.
And then it's going to be up to Vladimir Putin to decide whether to retaliate or whether to just absorb the attack And bide his time as winter approaches, because winter is going to be the worst enemy of Western Europe.
And Putin is a smart enough individual.
He's actually a master tactician.
He knows that right now the British financial system is self-destructing.
It's annihilating itself by the hour.
We're looking at the collapse of the banking system now.
Well, the Bank of England is in real trouble, for example, but London and the United Kingdom, it's on its last legs in terms of finances.
It's in real, real trouble.
And as winter kicks in, with the pipeline now off the table, it's almost certain that, as I mentioned before, that BASF shuts down, BASF, and that other industries shut down.
And so Western Europe is going to be plunged into a post-industrial era or, quote, permanent deindustrialization, which will result in an economic collapse of Western Europe.
So all Putin has to do actually is just kind of sit back, absorb some missiles, let's say, absorb some bombs, and not retaliate and just run out the clock.
Basically, that's all Putin needs to do is run out the clock.
But he could be provoked into a retaliatory attack, which is what the United States wants.
At least that's my assessment of this situation.
So let's see if Putin can hold his fire or not, since we know the Pentagon can't hold their fire.
They're going to launch very, very soon.
And that's why they told all Americans, get out of Russia, because you're about to get blowed up, basically.
That's what that warning was.
Now, there's an important story out of RT that says the Nord Stream pipeline damage might be irreparable.
So from that story, what is being touted as potential sabotage on the Russian Nord Stream gas pipelines might have dealt them irreparable damage.
Germany's Tagaspiegel reported on Wednesday citing, quote, government circles.
The two pipelines were seriously damaged.
It says if the damage is not repaired quickly enough, salty seawater could go into the pipes lying at the bottom of the Baltic Sea and irreversibly corrode them.
German officials have warned that.
Denmark said on Wednesday that its authorities would be able to launch a probe into the issue no sooner than in a week or two.
Right.
So as I suspected, remember I mentioned this yesterday, I was wondering what kind of material are these pipes made out of?
Well, apparently it's steel, very, very thick steel, over four centimeters thick steel walls, and then there's another 12 centimeters of concrete outside of that.
So it is concrete-reinforced steel tubing.
Well, maybe tubing is not the right thing.
Giant pipes.
I don't know what the diameter is, but it's something pretty big.
Let's just say it's a meter in diameter or something like that.
Pretty big pipes, because they've got to push a lot of gas through those pipes.
So those pipes are full of seawater right now, which is highly corrosive to steel, obviously.
And the longer it sits there, then the more it destroys entire segments of that pipeline where the saltwater has gone in.
And I don't know the topology of this thing and how far the water is going to go in, but I imagine it would go...
Very far, because water pressure at that depth is very, very high, which means that all the weight of all the water above that is trying to push that water into the pipes to displace all of the natural gas that is escaping.
So, yeah, these pipelines are probably going to be out of commission for years, if not...
I mean, they might have to replace huge segments, you know, just miles and miles of these pipes, which is probably a multi-year effort.
So Russia said that it was a terrorist attack, but the EU said that—well, I think the EU is pointing the finger at Russia— And they're saying they're going to have the strongest possible response to any attacks on its energy infrastructure.
But the EU, oh, it says here the EU has not yet named any suspects, but of course the United States media is naming Russia right off the bat.
Which, again, doesn't really make sense because this pipeline is owned by Russia and Russia could earn a lot of money if the pipeline were operating, frankly.
So I don't think the Russians did it.
Now, I mentioned this earlier, but there's a story out of the UK Guardian.
Bank of England in a 65 billion pound scramble to avert financial crisis.
Basically, there is a massive run on pension funds happening in the UK right now.
And the story says the Bank of England has been forced into emergency action to halt a run on Britain's pension funds after the impact of quasi-Quartang's ill-received mini-budget, whatever that is, prompted fears of a 2008-style financial crisis.
So, Quartang, who's Quartang?
He's got a mini-budget.
Is that like a mini-me with Austin Powers?
So Quarteng has a mini-me that's running the budget and it's freaking people out.
They want all their money out of the bank.
That's what's happening.
So this is all stemming from a, quote, dramatic rise in government borrowing costs, excuse me, Okay, translation...
I love it when the press uses the phrase doom loop.
So this is a self-reinforcing capital destruction feedback system that is an uncontrolled runaway process that is obliterating asset values and basically crashing the Ponzi scheme that makes people think that they have pension funds that will ever pay them anything.
The pension funds are broke, folks.
I mean, even in the United States, the state-run pension funds, the federal pension funds, the county and city pension funds, and also in the UK.
The pension funds, it's all been a Ponzi scheme.
The money's not there.
They've already looted the funds.
They used the money to try to prop up the stock markets and the bond markets, and now it's all being destroyed.
Well, because of these other things that we're seeing take place, the destruction of the pipelines, energy scarcity and so on, massive money printing on top of that.
So yeah, there is a doom loop in place.
The bank runs have begun.
At least in the pension system, and it's not clear how they're going to be able to stop this.
Now, as I've said before, Europe is going to suffer financial collapse first, and then it will spread to America second.
Because people are fleeing the euro right now into the dollar.
And they're fleeing European banks and trying to get into treasuries and U.S. banks because they see the United States as a safe haven against the European collapse.
So that's going to happen for a while.
But then as Europe goes down, it's going to suck America down with it because America is over-leveraged and running its own financial Ponzi schemes as well.
It's kind of like there's two guys...
In an inflatable life raft floating in the Atlantic, and the life raft is sinking because it's taking on water.
And the two guys are tied together with a hundred foot of rope, and they each have concrete blocks chained around their waist.
And the two guys who represent the United States and, let's say, England, the United Kingdom, let's say, the two guys realize that only one of them can survive much longer.
So the United States guy picks up the other guy and throws him overboard so that the life raft doesn't sink.
And that works for a little while, but then they're connected by a hundred foot rope.
So pretty soon, you know, that rope It comes to the end and then it pulls the US overboard too.
And then they both sink to the bottom of the Atlantic.
That's kind of what's about to happen, financially speaking.
It's like a scene right out of the Titanic movie, except nobody gets saved in this case.
Everybody sinks.
So check out these four stories on the economic situation in the United States.
From the Epoch Times, U.S. home heating costs set to increase by 17%, says Energy Group.
That's the average U.S. household heating bill going to go up 17.2% this winter compared to last year, according to a forecast by the National Energy Assistance Directors Association.
I did not know there was such a group.
But apparently they monitor heating cost prices and it's going up 17%.
So there's more inflation for you.
A lot more Americans are going to have to choose between staying warm or staying fed.
Eat or heat, one or the other.
Wall Street Journal, Best Buy and Home Depot lock up goods to fight theft.
With theft attempts elevated from pre-pandemic levels, stores are now grappling with how to stop the problem without turning off shoppers and investors.
It's a Best Buy store in Houston.
Hundreds of items, including Bose speakers and Fitbit activity trackers, have been replaced by small blue signs that read, this product kept in a secured location.
Yeah, like, not here in the store.
The story says, Home Depot, Inc., Join other large retailers.
They've been locking up more items while testing solutions.
They track high-risk goods and lock-up items that are being hit hardest.
For Home Depot, it's power tools, by the way.
It's the drills and the cordless sanders and all those power tools that people sell on eBay when they're stolen.
The story says $69.9 billion worth of products were stolen from retailers in 2019.
That's the latest data.
I betcha that's going to be over $100 billion in 2022.
All right, and then from CNBC, nearly 70% of Americans are looking for extra work to combat inflation.
See, this is what happens when the Federal Reserve keeps printing more fake fiat currency.
They're driving everybody to work more, as if you're not working enough already.
So everybody's going to go out and get another job, another part-time gig, another something to handle the increased prices of grocery bills and heating your home, which is going up 17%, and other costs, you know, fuel prices, gasoline, diesel, what have you, transportation, all of it, housing.
So people going out just looking for more jobs.
The story says 85% of Americans have changed their spending habits due to inflation.
And 57% have sought new or additional roles in the past year in order to earn some money.
Okay, and then from Zero Hedge, 29% of Americans are now drawing from their savings more than usual, according to a new survey.
So people are...
Drawing down whatever savings they had because they don't have the income to keep up with the cost of all of this.
And then don't forget that under Joe Biden and the Democrats, there will be 87,000 new IRS agents knocking on your door to demand that you pay them more money because you're not suffering enough already.
It's not enough to pay more for food and fuel and heat.
Clothing and housing and everything that matters.
No, you've got to pony up more money to the IRS so they can confiscate your funds and ship it off to a bunch of crooks in the Ukrainian government where money goes to die.
By the way, it's like a giant black hole vortex there.
It goes into an alternate dimension.
Where, you know, demon creatures live, and occasionally they come back, and then they become the Speaker of the House.
That's how that works.
There's like a binary system, you know.
Money goes that way, creatures got to come back this way.
And then they end up, you know, trying to pretend like they're congressional leaders or whatever.
So the very best insurance policy against all of this, inflation, And taxation and money printing, the best policy of insurance against that?
Of course, physical gold and silver.
And I think more and more people are getting that.
And amazingly, physical gold and silver continue to be suppressed in price because the elite, the wealthy elite, are buying up as much as they can, keeping the price low with the paper selling of paper contracts.
Because they're looting the system and gathering as much physical gold and silver as they can before the whole thing comes tumbling down, the whole monetary system, the Great Reset, so to speak.
So physical gold and silver, they have intrinsic value and they cannot vanish.
Even in a hurricane, you can flood your vault.
Let's say you have a vault just stacked to the brim with silver and it floods.
And when the floodwaters go away, silver is still there.
How amazing.
The silver is still there.
Probably didn't float away because it's very, very heavy and your vault might be heavy.
It might be bolted to your floor too, right?
So it's still there.
Maybe everything else blew away, but your vault is probably still there.
Anyway, you get the point.
Physical gold and silver hold their value.
Land typically holds value.
You know, physical things that don't just vanish overnight.
It can include firearms or ammo or automobiles or, I don't know, equipment, tractors, things like that.
Those are typically good things to think about or to consider when protecting your assets.
Whereas everything that's in the financial markets can just vanish overnight.
And I should mention, actually, our sponsor that's helping people get gold and silver.
It's the Treasure Island Precious Metals and Coin Company.
And they do a great job for all of our members, our listeners.
If you want to check them out, I do not earn any commission on any sales.
You get really great pricing, very competitive, insured delivery, discreet delivery.
Straight delivered to your door, physical gold and silver, or they also handle silver IRAs.
You can have it vaulted, and you can have an IRA that's IRS approved that's actually held in silver.
Check it out, metalswithmike.com or brighteonmetals.com.
But it's easy to just go to metalswithmike.com.
That'll take you to their website, and they are up and running.
They're not located in Florida, so their phones are working.
This is a good reminder to get squared away on your physical assets.
Now, with that said, let's jump into the interview.
Let me see if our guest is online.
This should be fascinating.
All right, apologies.
I have to interrupt myself here.
The interview that I had scheduled for today, my guest did show up.
We started the interview, and about 10 minutes into it, I realized we're going to have to reschedule this because, well, to make a long story short, it's such a massive cosmic universe of information that I realized I was not sufficiently it's such a massive cosmic universe of information that I realized I I didn't know this person's background very well.
He has since sent me his book.
So I'm reviewing his book.
He's got a presentation.
He's got websites and interviews and such.
I'm going to need to do a lot more research because this is such an Alice in Wonderland, you know, follow the rabbit down the rabbit hole kind of interview that you need a lot of background.
To do it justice.
So I apologize.
That interview is going to get rescheduled.
It's going to get pushed out to, it looks like, mid-November.
And hopefully it'll come together better then.
And sometimes, you know, that's what happens.
I just...
I was 10 minutes into it and I... I paused it and I even told the guest, I said, look, this is just not working here.
I don't know if it's, maybe it's me.
I don't have enough information or you're not able to answer the questions that I'm asking on behalf of the audience or whatever.
But I'm going to prepare more, review more material.
We'll see if we can bring that guest back.
I haven't even mentioned his name yet, but hopefully we'll have him back on a future episode.
Again, sometimes this happens.
Nevertheless, I thank him for taking the time to show up, and we'll see if we can make this work.
In the meantime, I'm going to play for you an interview that you have not heard yet.
We have not released it yet.
It's an interview with Bill Holter, and it was recorded about four weeks ago.
I'm at my studio in Central Texas.
So Bill Holter has some really extraordinary things to share with you about the coming economic collapse and self-reliance and self-protection, many other topics.
Just remember, this interview was recorded before the Nord Stream pipeline explosion and before some of the other events in September, basically.
So keep that in mind as you listen.
We'll go straight to Bill Holter right now, and then I will have additional comments on the other side of that interview.
All right, we're back with Bill Holter today.
And last time we had Bill on, we talked about financial collapse, which he believes is, well, rather imminent.
But in addition to the financial weaponization of our world and the food scarcity and the energy scarcity, we've got people dropping over dead after taking all these vaccines and vaccine boosters.
And we've got bioweapons that have been developed in China using vaccines.
Some U.S. funds through Fauci and the NIAID and so on.
So I wanted to get Bill Holter's take on some of that before we get into some other issues.
Bill, welcome to the show.
It's always great to have you on.
Thanks for having me back, Mike.
Absolutely.
People love your work.
I follow your work.
I just want to mention your website, jsmindset.com.
That's M-I-N-E-S-E-T, jsmindset.com.
Now, you've been watching the vaccine situation, so-called vaccines, mRNA injections.
I know you're aware because you stay on top of news and developments.
More than almost anybody.
What's your take on what's happening with all the deaths and the injuries among the vaccinated?
Well, it's pretty obvious.
I mean, all you have to do is look at insurance company numbers.
Just look at numbers at funeral homes.
Look at the amount of caskets.
Look at the amount of cremations.
The amount of deaths have increased.
The insurance company numbers earlier this year showed that they were – Excessive deaths were in excess of the previous years by 40%.
And they weren't older people.
They were people, you know, in their 40s, 50s, 60s, seemingly healthy people.
And you can't go a single day now where you hear or where you don't hear of a world-class athlete, whether it be a baseball player, football player, College, high school, you name it, did drops dead.
I mean, they just had a marathon in South Africa a couple days ago, and they actually, two people died, and 73 people were brought to the hospital with chest pains.
Has that happened in, I mean, just think back two years ago or a year ago before the vaccines were out.
Did that ever happen?
No, it didn't.
And I would also say, right from the start, you had to know something was wrong.
I mean, I looked at it right off the bat and I said, my wife and I looked at each other and we're like, I'm not taking this.
I'm not going to be a guinea pig.
We'll see what happens.
And then maybe we'll take it.
But once you started seeing stories of, you know, you could get a free McDonald's hamburger for the vaccine or The city of New York would give you $100 to get the vaccine.
If you're being bribed, or if you're being coerced, or if you're being mandated to do something, you can be virtually 99.9% sure that it's not for your benefit.
So it's extraordinary.
So many people, they took vaccines in exchange for things like lottery tickets.
So their life was worth a lottery ticket.
Exactly.
That's what they're saying.
Their life is worth a lottery ticket or free french fries or a free beer.
Right.
And then after the incentives didn't produce the results they wanted, they went to coercion.
You're going to be fired.
Right.
And here we are.
If you remember just about one year ago, say, last late summer, what was the favorite saying of...
And I'm just going to say, you know, the left, liberals.
What was their favorite saying?
Trust the science?
Just do the right thing.
Oh, just do the right thing.
And that really irritated me because these are people that, I mean, I'm not a scientist and these people weren't scientists.
They're telling me to do something with my body, telling me just do the right thing.
Now we're at the point where I think a lot of people are in denial.
A lot of people refuse to try to connect the excess deaths.
They refuse to see the miscarriages.
They refuse to see what's happening right before their eyes because they've done it to themselves.
But isn't this classic leftism to do something that's suicidal and then to blame somebody else for your problem, whether we're talking about economics, money printing, or vaccines, and they double down on their own suicide cult, essentially.
I mean, that's my rendition of it, not necessarily yours, but...
To say, oh, well, vaccines are going to save everybody.
We should all take them.
And then you take it, and then you get really sick.
And then what do they say?
Well, we need more of them.
That just seems like insanity to me.
Yeah, but the next step is these people getting angry.
The next step is once there's enough of a connection, there's enough people making the connection, then you're going to see people getting extremely angry and Because they realize if they didn't kill themselves, they've certainly shortened their lives.
So the anger...
I mean, there's no question about it.
The left are angry people.
They're hateful people.
And once they realize that they did this to themselves, then they're going to get pissed.
And I do want to mention this just from a biblical standpoint.
No one that I know of was actually forced, like strapped down and gotten the jab stuck in their arm.
Everyone had to make a decision.
Now, were people coerced by you either get the jab or you lose your job?
You either get the jab or you can't go to college.
You either get the jab or you can't get a surgery.
Everyone who got the jab It was a decision on their own.
And that's the way Satan works.
It's just the way it works.
You have to make the choice.
And, I mean, I can just imagine Satan...
Laughing his ass off each time somebody made that choice.
Well, I've pointed out the same thing.
It's like a spiritual contract.
And the contract has to be entered with a person's consent.
Because if they hold you down and jab you in the arm with a needle, then you haven't consented.
To the satanic alteration of your human genetic code that was a gift from God, for example.
But if you say, okay, I'm willing to do it because you made it economically painful enough for me, or you wouldn't let me travel to visit my daughter in college or whatever, but you went in on it, just like you said, Bill.
People went in and they said, okay, I give in, I'll take the jab, without doing the research, without even knowing what's in it.
Well, without doing the research, but you mentioned travel.
I probably know two dozen people that got the job because they said, well, we want to travel.
That's greed.
I want to do something, so since I can't do it unless I get the job, I'll acquiesce.
And it's foolish.
You know, there are dozens of doctors that have died in Canada just in the last few months.
I saw that today.
So you've also got Sotomayor, the Supreme Court Justice, saying that the New York vaccine mandate must stay in force, including against children.
So I call this liberal on liberal violence.
Sotomayor is a leftist, and she's saying that all the other leftists in New York City have to be jabbed.
She's, in essence, saying we're going to sacrifice these children To the vaccine, and it's their own children, for God's sake.
Right.
Well, here you've got Sotomayor, who is obviously not a scientist, and then the one that they installed a few months back doesn't know the difference, can't define what a woman is.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, so there's two ends of the spectrum.
One who's a scientist, and one can't even understand biology.
Yeah.
Well, none of them understand economics.
Correct.
In fact, I would say that almost all elected representatives currently serving, with a few exceptions.
I mean, Rand Paul understands economics, and Jim Jordan does, and there are some good people.
But by and large, the typical member of Congress couldn't tell you how inflation works, compounding interest, where money comes from, why money is a debt instrument, none of that.
I mean, we're being led by economically illiterate people, literally.
That's the case.
Right.
Well, the perfect example of that is all these checks that they're sending out, and now they're going to send out another $2,000 to everyone.
That is so inflationary.
It's inflationary from the standpoint of they're creating the money out of thin air, which they had done for years and years and years, but they didn't give it to the public.
It went into the banking system.
And it allowed the banks to fake that they were still solvent.
Now they're giving it to the people and what are the people doing with it?
They're buying stuff.
And they're buying stuff at the same time that the supply chains are not cranking out as much stuff as they were before when there wasn't this much money out there.
So obviously you're going to see prices go higher and you're going to see more shortages.
Let's talk about those shortages and let's distinguish Between domestic supply chain problems, which I think a lot of those are focused on labor shortages because people have been paid to stay home and not work, versus the international shortages with China shutting down many factories claiming it's because of a lack of hydropower.
The hot weather is causing them to shut down.
I'm not sure if that's a cover story or what, but China's also moving its economy over to wartime production.
We've learned that from other sources.
So maybe they're just shutting down some of these factories for good.
What's your take on all of this?
Not just consumer goods, but the industrial products that are necessary to run the infrastructure that keeps a country alive.
First, I want to say that they're not stupid.
When I say they're, I'm talking about China, Russia, the rest of the world.
They're not stupid.
They probably understand finance better than you or I do.
They understand that the West is now completely indebted.
And when an entity, when an individual, an entity or a nation is over-indebted, it creates less options.
You have less wiggle room.
And for instance, with China, I mean, They think in terms of hundreds of years.
They don't think in terms of next week or next quarter, which is what the West does.
They also, if you've ever read Sun Tzu, what's the best way to win a war without ever firing a shot or doing anything aggressive?
Let your enemy destroy themselves.
Well, That's really what the West has done, by indebting themselves far beyond any realistic way to pay that debt back.
And now, conveniently, China, their output is slowing.
So that's going to obviously slow the real economy because just look at chips.
I mean, try to buy a Polaris.
Try to buy a Ford.
They're not being made because the chips, everything runs with chips, which, by the way, would not be a bad idea.
To purchase an older car, older truck, something that will run if there's an EMP that doesn't have to run on chips because you can always find an old Chevrolet in a junkyard, but you can't find a chip to replace a vehicle.
But my point being, they understand that by them damaging the supply chain, that damages the real economy.
And what feeds the financial economy The debt service is paid for by income from the real economy.
So if you start to choke off the real economy, you're actually choking off the financial economy.
And with the amount of debt outstanding, eventually you're going to create a cascade of debt dominoes collapsing.
Now, a lot of these scenarios lead us into a global conflict, a military conflict even, with China or Russia, NATO and Russia.
We're right on the verge of that right now.
And yet I've read some what I believe are very solid analyses showing that America's ability to manufacture munitions To be used in war is severely compromised.
The United States military has been sending thousands of javelins, for example, over to Ukraine without the ability to replace those, without taking years, literally years.
The microchips for a lot of these weapon systems like Stinger missiles and Sidewinders, ground-to-air, air-to-air, those microchips have to come out of places like Taiwan, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, which is under threat by China.
And short supply, anyway, long, long wait times, and that could be cut off at any moment.
My question, Bill, sorry it takes so long to get to it, is does America even have the domestic supply chain necessary to fight and win a war anymore like we did in World War II? No, not even possible.
And you saw that.
The reports out earlier today is that our munitions are running low.
Without really a way to replenish those.
One thing you forgot to mention in there were strategic metals.
Strategic metals, there are only a few places in the world where the vast amount of strategic metals are and not in the United States.
Right, right.
Think about aluminum out of Russia, for example, and also copper, titanium.
Well, even more scarce metals than those, you know, the high-tech.
Oh, the rare earths.
Yeah, the rare earth metals.
Those are used in high-tech munitions, and we don't produce those in the United States, or we produce very, very little.
So, I mean, that's another...
Addition to the supply chain, but that's right at the base of the supply chain.
So it seems like a lot of this that we've been talking about, Bill, whether it's food scarcity, energy scarcity, vaccine deaths, and now what looks like the deliberate dismantling of infrastructure that keeps society functioning, Whether deliberate or not, it leads to depopulation.
This leads to a die-off because human beings, to stay alive, they've got to eat, they've got to have energy, they've got to have shelter, which means air conditioning or heating, depending on the season and so on.
In your view, is there a deliberate depopulation effort underway Or is this just incompetence that's going to lead to people dying?
If you asked me that question two years ago, I would have been skeptical.
But you're asking the question today, after the vaccines, after your...
The policies that have been put into place are too stupid to be stupid.
And actually, When I first started writing back in 2007, I saw the policies that they were putting in place.
And I came right out and said that there's no way anyone could be this stupid, so it has to be a plan.
Would I have believed that the plan was a depopulation event of the world?
No.
Like I said, even two years ago, I would have been skeptical.
As of right now, I absolutely believe the whole plan is depopulation.
You know, along those lines, isn't it amazing that the vaccines have been very successful in first world countries?
But the vaccine uptake in third world countries was relatively low, but then the third world countries get hit by the food scarcity and the fertilizer scarcity.
So they're going to starve, but we're going to die from clots.
Well, not only that, there was a study I just saw today, I think it was released just in the last two or three days, that they did a full analysis of the vaccines and with the With the metals that are in the vaccine and the graphene oxide,
there's no question that the 5G towers that they've been building, and they've built out everywhere in the United States, those are going to be used to, if you want to call it, control the population or destroy the population, light people up.
Well, let me share something with you.
They're human antennas, basically.
Right, right, exactly.
We've contributed to a lot of that research.
We've done the ICP-MS analysis on the metals.
The Epoch Times is doing a story based on my lab results right now.
It'll come out in a few days.
I've been skeptical of any kind of control mechanism, but I understand basic physics, which means that just external fields can cause pain.
What have you?
They can cauterize the arteries from the inside.
Just like induction on an induction stove.
You have an electric field and then you have a pan and the current is induced in the pan and it heats up.
They can do that at minimum.
Even if people are listening and they think it's science fiction about remote control, fine.
They can heat them up.
They can cook people from the inside.
That's no joke.
Another good reason not to have taken the vaccine.
Yeah, no kidding.
All right, so another common theme of where this is going, Bill, is the collapse of the rule of law and rising chaos.
Now, you've already talked about how when the banking system fails, obviously there's going to be riots and chaos.
When food scarcity gets worse, But also, what about when people wake up and realize they were all mass murdered or their loved ones were mass murdered by these vaccines?
Couldn't there be even a mass uprising among leftists?
Oh, absolutely.
I expect that.
I think it was the last interview we talked about.
Once people figure out that they...
If they didn't kill themselves, they shortened their lifespan greatly.
Once people figure that out...
They're going to be pissed.
And people on the left, I think more people on the left took the jab than conservatives.
I think libertarians, probably very few of them, took the jab.
But once it's known that you killed yourself, you're right.
People are going to go wild and there will be There will be riots, insurrections, whatever you want to call it, on a mass scale, unseen ever before in the United States.
That's also going to be a psychologically earth-shattering type of event for the typical leftist because they've operated on this assumption that they are intellectually superior.
Right.
They know better than conservatives.
They know what's best for you.
Right, right.
Exactly.
And, you know, you and I, Bill, we both live in the country.
We live on ranches, rural property.
They would call us, like, dumb hicks or something.
Neanderthals.
Right.
Knuckle-draggers.
And yet, it turns out we were right again and again.
But a lot of these leftists, and I know plenty of people like this, too, who said, well, I did the research.
I went on Google, and I did all the research.
Google?
Are you kidding me?
That's not research.
That's propaganda.
All you did was trick yourself into vaccine-assisted suicide.
But isn't that going to be just a philosophically shattering moment for many leftists when they realize how deeply they were lied to?
Well, it would be a shattering moment for anyone if they finally, truly figured out that something that they did was damaging to the point of, you know, you could die before the sun rises tomorrow.
But you definitely shorten your life.
And when people figure that out, I mean, no matter whether it's left, right, whoever it is, yeah, that's got to shatter somebody's psyche entirely.
Oh, and one other thing.
Isn't it funny how most all of our conspiracy theories have come true?
Isn't it, though?
Yeah.
By the day.
I mean, you go back to John F. Kennedy.
I think that's when everything...
I think that was the demarcation line right there.
Well, and now given what the FBI is doing, I see a lot of people retroactively looking back at history and saying, well, wait a second.
What was the FBI's role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center?
Or the bombing in Oklahoma City?
Oklahoma City, exactly.
A lot of people are putting that together now.
Let me ask you this question.
Do you think that...
There's a lot of relocation happening now.
People are fleeing, not just the blue cities, but the blue states.
They're leaving California.
They're leaving New York.
And the governor of New York actually told all conservatives to get the hell out of New York.
I saw that.
Which, you don't even have to tell them that.
They're doing it anyway, Kathy.
Or should we call her Karen?
But the point is, do you think people are going to be safe in red states like Florida, Texas, and so on?
Or is the chaos going to be so widespread that...
You know, you're really in danger everywhere across America.
I think it doesn't matter, red state, blue state, you're going to be in danger everywhere because the infrastructure of society, of life, is going to break down.
And whether you're in a red state or blue state, if you're in a city of a million, two million, five million people, what difference does it make?
You know, a hungry person is a hungry person.
So I don't think it makes a difference.
I think the people that have already made the move rural will have a better chance, and that's certainly no guarantee that you're going to make it.
Well, it seems to me, if you don't mind me saying that...
The first two months are going to be the most dangerous and the most intense, but beyond the first two months, a lot of people will have starved to death at that time.
But during the desperation starvation, which is like, let's say, three weeks to ten weeks, before they die, they're going to be totally insane.
It's almost like a zombie wave.
I mean, that's when you're going to wish you had community defense and plenty of ammo.
Right.
Well, yeah, you're right.
I mean, the first...
Like you said, call it the first two months.
You will have mass deaths, but you'll also have people who are still alive that will do absolutely anything for food, for clean water, for whatever.
So, yeah, that will be the first onslaught.
And then after that, then it will be attrition.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I agree with you, and maybe I shouldn't say this, but I think one of the silver linings in all of this, in the post-apocalypse scenario, is that pedophiles who are caught will just be shot on sight.
Amen.
I don't think there's going to be any court system functioning in many areas.
It's going to be, hey, whoa, you were doing what?
There will be no court systems, and you will see vigilante justice.
Indeed.
And for good reason.
All right, Bill, we're wrapping up this segment with you, and I want to thank you for your time.
I want to give you a chance.
Tell people how they can follow you and connect with you, and I also want to mention you are a precious metals representative for Miles Franklin.
You can help people get squared away with what they need, and you can educate people as well.
So give us some details how they can reach you.
Yeah, you can reach me or you can follow my work at jsmindset.com.
If you want to reach me directly, you can email me at bholter at hotmail.com.
Okay, you got it there.
Folks, reach out to Bill Holter if you've got questions on this and comments, you want to get squared away.
I mean, Bill Holter handles a lot of very wealthy people, but has also helped educate a lot of regular folks into how to get squared away on all of this.
Thank you so much, Bill.
It's always an honor being able to speak with you.
Thanks for having me back.
Alright, hope you enjoyed that interview.
Now we're going to shift gears.
I've got something kind of bizarre to share with you here.
Now you know the CDC director Rochelle Walensky.
You've seen her face and you've seen her all over videos and photos and maybe magazine covers and things like that.
And just, I want you to bring up an image in your own mind of what she looks like.
She has a rather pronounced nose structure.
She's got like black hair, right?
She has a kind of a sharp jawline, kind of a more of a long face.
But think about her skin color.
And in fact, I want to show you as I'm talking here some of the images of Rochelle Walensky that have appeared in the media over the last several years.
And she appears to be someone who is, you would say, white skinned or maybe slightly olive colored in terms of her skin tone, perhaps.
But mostly she's depicted as a, let's say, a white woman with black hair.
So see all these images of her, you know, as a white woman.
I don't know what her ethnicity is.
She might be, I don't know, what's the name Walensky?
Is it Polish?
Could she be Israeli perhaps?
Is she from the Middle East or something?
I mean her grandparents or what have you.
I'm not sure.
But she's depicted as mostly a kind of fair-skinned person in the media and has been for several years.
So imagine my shock when I brought up a video of her just from two days ago that was on MSNBC. And all of a sudden, Rochelle Walensky is black.
I mean, she's a black woman now.
And I want to show you this video.
It's incredible.
Check this out.
Certainly, there's no way to know how bad a flu season is going to be, but we are hearing potential for it to be a severe season, and we would encourage vaccines.
So if you're over the age of 65, you want to go ahead and get your high-dose vaccine.
We have flu vaccines for those over the age of six months old.
We are encouraging people to go ahead and get their flu vaccine.
And importantly, what I will say is that you can get your flu vaccine and your COVID vaccine at the same time.
So did you see that?
All of a sudden, Rochelle Walensky is a black female CDC director telling you to get your vaccines instead of a white woman telling you to get your vaccines.
Now, we have an image that shows you side by side.
The white Walensky and then the new, improved, black Walensky.
Check this out.
So isn't this extraordinary?
So Rochelle Walensky, you can see on the left side of this picture, She looks white, right?
She looks white.
I mean, maybe you could say maybe she's Spanish in terms of her ethnicity, perhaps.
I don't know.
But then on the right, she looks black.
It's the black Walensky.
And it's still the same voice.
It's the same talking points.
It's all vaccine this, vaccine that.
But now she's black.
And you've got to wonder.
I mean, how crazy is this?
That they took the CDC director and now they've just made her black.
And I guess they're just going to roll out the black Walensky now from now on.
And they're probably going to try to scrub all the white Walensky pictures.
And this is like the Mandela effect happening in real time.
They're actually changing Walensky to be a black woman.
And then pretty soon, if you ever say, no, I remember she used to be white.
Then they'll say, no, you're crazy.
She was never white.
She was always black.
What, are you racist or something?
Of course she was always black.
I mean, have you ever seen the media just change a woman from white to black?
Just in the middle of a week?
Boom!
Oh, yeah, she's always been black.
I mean, you can't tell me that she just got a little extra sunshine or something.
This is the tanned Walensky.
No, no, no.
This is the black Walensky.
Now, Is this makeup?
Is she wearing blackface?
Did she pull a Justin Trudeau?
Is she actually wearing blackface?
Is the CDC director involved in cultural appropriation trying to pretend to be black?
Does she self-identify as being black?
See, like there was another woman a few years back who did that.
Her name was Rachel.
Well, this is Rochelle this time.
I mean, she's already got...
A black enough name, I suppose.
She's got Rochelle.
That's convincing enough.
And now she's black.
Nothing against anybody being black at the CDC. It's just that if you're black, you've always been black.
Who changes their skin color in the middle of serving as the CDC director?
It would be like if they rolled out Fauci one week and suddenly Fauci was Jamaican or something.
Like, you're going to get a good thing about the vaccine and got to get clean with the needle.
It just...
I don't know.
It doesn't even sound Jamaican at all, but...
Or maybe they try to make Fauci, suddenly he's like an Indian science professor, like a medical college professor.
And today we are going to promise you that the vaccine is 100% effective.
I am Fauci.
You don't just change people's You know, public ethnicity, boom, like that, and expect everybody to go, yeah, it's always been that way.
That's fine.
It's just weird, isn't it?
Isn't it odd?
Am I the only one that finds this odd?
It would be like if Brad Pitt were suddenly black or something.
Like, hey, didn't he used to be a white guy?
Or conversely, if you learn, you know, Chris Rock is white, and he's been white the whole time.
And if Chris Rock is actually white, he is in a lot of trouble over the use of the N-word.
Let me tell you, he's going to have a lot of apologizing to do for all those comedy routines over the years.
Wouldn't it be funny if, like, day by day, each new official was becoming black in the Biden administration because they want to appear more, you know, with more people of color in the administration.
So instead of actually hiring people of color, they just take all the white people they already have and just make them black.
Like, today it's Rochelle Walensky, you know, tomorrow it's Fauci, like I said, and then pretty soon Joe Biden would just be, like, black Biden.
He'll say, I've always been black!
Because he's reading the script.
You know, they'll have prosthetics or something.
They'll find like a black body double for Biden.
I've always been black!
And the Democrats will back it up.
Well, of course he's always been black.
How do you think he got the black vote, they'll say.
I mean, you'll be called a conspiracy theorist if you ever thought he wasn't.
And all the fact checkers, they'll fact check anybody who says that he was never black and so on.
It's just, again, shaping your reality in real time, just altering your perception and what are, quote, facts.
Just changing them in real time, right in front of you, and you're not supposed to ever question that.
It's just so bizarre.
And just, you know, for the record, I don't care what color people are in any position in a company or government.
I always say the most qualified person should be the person there.
Whoever, whatever color they happen to be is fine with me.
I mean, there's qualified people and there's unqualified people in every ethnicity and in every skin color.
You know, you can find highly capable black people, Indian people, you know, whatever, Hispanic people, you name it.
And you can also find really unqualified people across every spectrum of skin color, including white people.
So it's not about the color.
This should be about the merit.
You can imagine you wake up one day and you happen to turn on The View, that TV program.
You know, you find out Joy Reid is suddenly black.
And then that's when the whole black community will say, oh, no, no, no, no.
Uh-uh.
We're not taking that girl.
Send her back to the white side, the white crazy side, actually.
There's some people that the black community does not want to have join them, you know?
She would be one of those people for sure.
Because we've got to have standards, man, you know?
It's not a free-for-all.
Okay, by the way, on another topic, did you know, remember what NFTs are?
Non-fungible tokens.
NFTs, these were the hot new thing, I don't know, two years ago or something, next to crypto.
People were buying, you know, these pixelated images of apes and whatever, just silly images for, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Well, NFT trading volumes have now collapsed 97% since peaking out in January, according to Bloomberg News.
Turns out it's just absolutely plummeted down from $17 billion to just $466 million in September.
And so it looks like the NFT market bubble has imploded or burst and turns out that it's not worth $500,000 to buy an image, a digital image of somebody's art.
There are people online saying, hey, they bought an NFT for $623,000 and it's now worth $10.
Well, that's a really fast way to lose a lot of money.
It turns out it's just images and tweets and digital properties that aren't even real.
They're all virtual.
And I guess the silly NFT bubble, which I always called out as just being insanely stupid, has collapsed.
And so it's just another little Ponzi scheme of people throwing money at things that have no value.
And thinking that it's going to go to the moon.
It's just people.
I mean, engage common sense on these things.
You know, when you're buying a piece of land, it's real.
It's got some intrinsic value.
You can walk on it.
You can touch it.
You can build a house on it.
You can park a car on it.
You can grow food on it.
You can have a little forest on it.
Whatever.
NFTs is nothing.
It's just a file on a computer somewhere with a With a shared blockchain record behind it, it's not worth millions of dollars.
It's worth nothing.
So that's what's happening in the NFT market.
It's just pretty incredible.
You know, always be wary of things.
People come to you and say, you should buy into this thing because it's going to go up.
And you ask, why should I buy it?
Because it's going to go up.
You say, well, does it have any value?
And their answer is, it doesn't matter.
It's going to go up.
Just beware of that.
Just because they say it's going to go up, but if it doesn't have any intrinsic value, what's the point?
Seriously, what's the point?
This is why I've talked about NFTs as kind of a joke this entire time.
There's no inherent or intrinsic value in it.
It's just whatever.
Just watch out for all these little Ponzi schemes out there.
If you're going to put your money into things, put it in things that are real.
Things you can touch, things you can hold, things that have intrinsic value.
It could be a company also.
If you own a company, you own the buildings and the land and the machines that make something.
Make sure it's real.
Make sure you're not buying into some virtual world like the meta world of Facebook where people are buying real estate in that meta universe.
Did you know that?
They're paying millions of dollars for real estate in the simulation.
Really?
It's kind of stupid, actually.
Kind of stupid because that's not the real world.
It's not a very compelling experience from what I've seen to go into that.
You slap on a pair of goggles and what?
You see like Mark Zuckerberg looking like a pixelated monkey cartoon or something.
Is this the world you want to be trapped in and surveilled and monitored?
Why don't you throw those goggles away, get out in the real world, plant some potatoes or something.
You know?
Go take a walk in the woods.
Go do something in reality.
Get out of the virtual worlds.
And put your assets in things that are real and then they will still be there after the world of virtualization and even financialization collapses.
Those are my final thoughts for today in this rather diverse podcast.
But thank you for listening.
Thank you for all your support.
Thank you for your understanding about us changing up the interview.
Send your prayers and blessings to all those in the state of Florida who continue to get hammered by this horrific hurricane.
And I'll be back with you in 24 hours or so with a lot more updates on what's happening in the world.
Just get ready.
Be safe.
Be wise.
Get prepared.
This hurricane is not the last storm coming.
Not at all.
It's a much bigger global storm brewing with World War III. And that's going to affect all of us, even more than the hurricane and the fertilizer shortages.
But get prepared as best you can.
Thank you for listening.
God bless you.
Take care.
A global reset is coming.
