	This is an extraordinary day.
	It's Friday, October 28th, 2022.
	This is the Situation Update.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me.
	Let me just give you a preview of what we've got coming up here because it's mind-blowing even to me.
	We've got breaking news about the fall of Europe.
	Because BASF, or as I call them BASF, has announced permanent shutdowns of portions of their capacity in Germany, which, of course, the portions are going to accelerate.
	It's a permanent shutdown of...
	Partial operations in Germany, but they're going to set up in China.
	So they're moving industry from Europe to China.
	And Basif is such a critical company for the industrialization, just the ability to have industry in Europe and also to have fertilizer and food, by the way.
	This is a major, major announcement.
	I'm going to quote the CEO here shortly and tell you about that.
	But this is the day that Europe died.
	This is the warning that We've been warning you about it.
	Myself and also Michael Yan.
	And we have an interview coming up with Michael Yan tonight.
	He agreed to join me.
	He's in Chiang Mai.
	I forgot the right pronunciation.
	In Thailand.
	He's about to catch a plane, but he agreed to come on with us to give us kind of an emergency interview about the collapse of Western Europe.
	So I'll have him coming up in just a few minutes.
	And then we've also got, well, it's a double interview Friday, which means I'm going to have to keep my segment pretty short, by the way, but we've got an interview coming up with Kay Rubichek also.
	She's an extraordinary person, a filmmaker, an author who is exposing the crimes against humanity that are being carried out by the CCP, the Communist Party of China, and all the organ harvesting and, you know, the political dissidents being executed and tortured and slave labor camps and all of this. the political dissidents being executed and tortured and slave labor And she has done an incredible job of exposing this.
	And she's got a book that you can download for free, a short book.
	It's called Nowhere Left to Run, 10 Steps to Survive Tyranny.
	And she joins us also from, I think, upstate New York.
	So that's coming up as well.
	Two extraordinary interviews straight ahead.
	But also on this day, this is the first day that Elon Musk owns Twitter.
	It's done.
	The deal is done.
	The money's been transferred.
	Elon Musk has already started firing all the top fascists of Twitter, the censors, the left-wing lunatics that tried to silence everybody.
	Well, or they did silence everybody for all these years.
	Elon Musk is in charge now.
	And now we're going to see where Twitter goes.
	But this could be the turning point for maybe reopening the public square for debate and for speech that isn't automatically censored by the left because they hate conservative viewpoints or they hate conservative views.
	They just hate the truth, basically.
	They hate the truth.
	Twitter now has a future, but guess who doesn't have a future?
	Meta stock crashed 23% yesterday, at least that was the last number I saw.
	Amazon stock has crashed about 20%, and Google crashed nearly 10% the day before.
	So the tech sector is crashing like crazy.
	It's crashing so bad.
	Jim Cramer on CNBC was brought to tears.
	I'm going to play a clip for you of Jim Cramer apologizing for being wrong about Meta stock because it is down, down, down.
	I don't know how far it's down from its peak, but in one day it went down 23%.
	It has absolutely crashed.
	And Jim Cramer, I want you to watch this apology because you're going to see a whole lot of this.
	In the months to come, as the markets absolutely crater, you're going to see all kinds of people apologizing for being wrong or maybe just, you know, jumping off tall buildings and ending it all.
	But at least Jim Cramer, no matter what you think of him, he is kind of a clown, but at least he's got the balls to apologize, which, you know, frankly, not a lot of people do.
	So check out this clip of Jim Cramer and just understand you're going to see a whole lot of this yet to come.
	Let me say this about this.
	I made a mistake here.
	I was wrong.
	I trusted this management team that was ill-advised.
	You were serious, extraordinary.
	And I apologize.
	Okay.
	What did you get wrong?
	I had a belief that there was a recognition that there is a amount that you can't spend.
	Thank you.
	Contrast that, for instance, with Jim Farley, who took a project that was his, Argo, and closed it because it was not ready.
	It was not near enough.
	This situation is almost a rogue situation.
	I had thought there would be an understanding that you just can't spend And spend right through your free cash flow.
	That there had to be some level of discipline.
	And I didn't get it.
	But David, what did I get wrong?
	I trusted them, not myself.
	For that I regret.
	I've been in this business for 40 years and I did a bad job.
	I'm not proud.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Jim Cramer.
	Brought to tears, and he goes on, and you hear what he said?
	He said...
	He trusted management, but basically they blew through all their cash flow.
	They just blew all their cash.
	They kept spending, spending, spending because, well, money has been free for quite some time.
	And then they ended up with nothing that anybody wants.
	I mean, have you been in the meta universe, whatever, the Zuckerberg meta virtual reality thing?
	I mean, I haven't.
	I don't even know how to connect to that.
	But apparently the people who have been there are like, this sucks.
	You know, this is...
	It's like the most boring alternate reality possible and it makes everybody sick.
	And the artwork also sucks too.
	And this is after Facebook was hiring like tens of thousands of programmers and just burning billions of dollars.
	This thing is a joke.
	And Jim Cramer recommended it and he blew people's money on this big time.
	I mean, not just a little, but a lot.
	And they've got nothing to show for it.
	Nothing.
	There's no intrinsic value remaining.
	In a project that nobody wants to get involved with.
	I mean, who wants to go into this crazy Zuckerberg universe that got nothing to offer you?
	So anyway, that's done.
	That's done.
	But again, as I said earlier, you got to give him credit, Jim Cramer.
	At least give him some credit for having the spine to come out and say he was wrong.
	Now, there's another person who has come out and said they were wrong.
	This is in addition to Ben Shapiro yesterday.
	Remember Mr. First Step guy who has finally admitted that vaccines don't stop transmission, but can't seem to go much further than that in understanding what they're really designed for.
	But now we have actor Tim Robbins, who is a liberal, right?
	He's a left-wing actor.
	At least that's my impression of him.
	He just admitted, this is from the Gateway Pundit, just admitted the truth about safe and effective COVID vaccines.
	Quote, I bought into it.
	I demonize people, he says.
	I was guilty of everything that I came to understand was not healthy.
	He said he regrets falling for the lies pushed by the government and the corporate press surrounding discriminatory COVID measures and COVID vaccines that, quote, do not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID-19.
	So he gave an interview with Matt Tiabi of Breitbart, I believe is with Breitbart, yeah.
	Robbins said that he initially believed the propaganda about COVID, but ultimately realized it was all predicated on lies.
	So, you know, hey, applause for Tim Robbins.
	You know, better late than never.
	More and more people are waking up and realizing this.
	And again, it takes a lot of courage to go public about this.
	A lot of courage.
	He goes on and says, soon it's a year on and two years on and people are still stuck with these restrictions despite the fact that we now know that the vaccine didn't stop transmission and didn't stop people from getting it.
	And he says, I almost feel like there are forces within our society that just want art to die.
	Well, Tim, you're close.
	Actually, there are forces in society that just want humanity to die.
	See, Mr.
	Robbins, you just have to expand your understanding a little bit more You're right there.
	You're really close.
	Yes, mass death is part of this, but it's not the death of art.
	It's the death of humanity.
	The vaccines are a depopulation weapon.
	So let's encourage Tim Robbins.
	Let's thank him for coming out.
	And let's encourage him to continue to ask questions.
	And that's all that we can ask of anybody.
	Because, you know, it's crazy to sit here and argue and slam people, you know, you're so stupid for not understanding it sooner.
	Well, how about let's meet people where they're ready.
	To have this moment of awakening or red-pilling, as we say, because it's going to be a different timeline for every single person, and we've got to be able to handle those different timelines because, you know, people come to this in different ways.
	Now, there's another leftist, Susan Sarandon, also out of Hollywood, who has posted an internet message and people are still trying to figure out what she means by it.
	Apparently, Susan Sarandon is completely tone deaf about the authoritarian nature of the radical left in America, where you're not allowed to say anything unless the left allows it.
	You're not allowed to speak.
	You're not allowed to have a business.
	You're not allowed to be on any platform unless the left allows it.
	So Susan Sarandon posts this following message thinking that she's talking about conservatives, I believe, thinking that she's afraid what will happen when the GOP wins the midterms.
	But who is she really talking about?
	Here's the message.
	It didn't start with gas chambers.
	It started with one party controlling the media, one party controlling the message, one party deciding what is truth, one party censoring speech and silencing opposition, one party dividing citizens into us and them and calling on their supporters to harass them.
	Well, who is she describing there?
	She thinks she's describing conservatives.
	No, she's describing Democrats, leftists, fascists.
	She's describing the cancel culture of the left and the authoritarian nature of the left.
	It's just amazing to me that Susan Sarandon has no idea that she just described her own political party perfectly.
	Now speaking about politics, I was watching an interview with David Clement And I got to invite him on.
	He's an expert in, well, vote auditing and exposing vote fraud and election fraud and so on.
	And he said that everybody should vote on election day because if you vote by mail or you vote early, then it gives the Democrats the data points they need to rig the election.
	If you vote on election day, you surprise them.
	And it makes it harder for them to cheat.
	Not impossible, but more difficult.
	So vote on election day, number one, no matter where you are, no matter which state, which county, wherever.
	Vote on election day if you can.
	And then also bring a blue pen.
	And make sure you fill out the ovals on your voting form if it's something that's hand-marked.
	Make sure you fill it out with a blue pen, not a black pen, because this allows the auditors to know the difference between something that was filled out for real by a person versus ovals that were filled out and printed by the machine.
	See, the machines have black ink toner in them, and they actually fill in the ovals automatically for people when you insert the ballot into the machine.
	They vote for you.
	But they use black ink.
	So if you use blue ink, then someone can go back and see, oh, well, the black ovals are from the machine.
	The blue ovals are from you, the human person, right?
	So use a blue pen.
	You don't have to show it to the people there.
	You can just put it in your pocket and then you pull it out and use the blue pen when you vote.
	You don't have to ask for permission to use a blue pen.
	Okay, and in the dumbest news story of the day, just a little bit of silliness before we get to the serious business here, there's an individual who has created what he calls a cordless Tesla because he's put a gasoline-powered generator in the back of his Tesla to charge his Tesla while it's parked.
	Of course, he has to feed it gasoline.
	Okay.
	So when he says cordless, that would mean all combustion engine vehicles are also cordless.
	But it takes hours to run this little gasoline generator to charge the batteries, so he has to run it all night while he's parked his Tesla in the parking lot when he's staying in a hotel while traveling cross-country.
	The thing has to run all night.
	To charge the batteries, and he's got to feed it gasoline the entire time.
	And this is being covered as some kind of breakthrough.
	Wow, we've found a way to extend the range of a Tesla.
	It's a cordless Tesla with a range extender.
	Is this the dumbest thing you've ever seen?
	Because Toyota has been making this for over 10 years and doing a better job at it.
	It's called a hybrid vehicle!
	Toyota's hybrid vehicles have combustion engines in them, and they have batteries.
	Both.
	It's just that the engine is strong enough to power the whole vehicle.
	So this is nothing new.
	This is not some breakthrough on Tesla.
	Toyota's been doing this forever.
	And if you really want to bypass all the nonsense, just have a combustion engine.
	You've got to feed it gas anyway.
	Why go through all of the wasted energy conversions of gasoline to a rotary kinetic action to a generator to an inverter?
	Because the generator produces AC electricity.
	You know that, right?
	All generators that are engine-based generators produce AC electricity.
	Then it's got to go through an inverter to go into DC to charge the batteries.
	So you have a conversion loss there.
	And then the batteries have storage efficiency problems.
	They're only like 70% efficient when you charge them and things like that.
	And then that's got to be converted again and you lose something in the electric motors that drive the car.
	And so it's insane.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Thank you for the suggestion.
	Totally insane.
	Just have a combustion engine vehicle and you can burn gasoline and you don't have to You don't have to have batteries at all.
	And you have as much range as you want.
	Just bring extra gas.
	So simple.
	All right, let's hit some headlines here real quickly because time is short if you want to hear these interviews.
	Out of Yahoo News, second railroad union rejects the union deal, adding to strike worries.
	So it turns out the railroad strike is back on again, which could cripple the economy and it could begin next month.
	And this is from the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen.
	They don't like the new contract whatsoever.
	So let's see what happens there.
	And then moving over to the UK, the National Grid warns Britons of blackouts on really cold evenings.
	So they say, oh, we've got plenty of electricity, as long as it doesn't get cold this winter, in which case there will be blackouts.
	So just when the weather is the coldest, you will have no electricity to heat your homes.
	And if you heat them too much or attempt to, you'll probably be arrested by the government anyway, because You know, probably make it illegal to heat your house.
	So it's going to be a cold winter.
	It's going to be a starving winter.
	It's going to be a lot of fasting and freezing across not just the UK, but all of Europe this winter.
	We're going to talk about Basif shutting down straight ahead.
	Yesterday we talked about the diesel shortage in the United States.
	The Southeast diesel supply is just about gone.
	A lot of the diesel distribution hubs are empty.
	We talked about the Mansfield Company putting out a level 4 red alert.
	And I was trying to figure out what that means.
	It just means the diesel's gone, basically.
	Well, now here's another story.
	Energy execs tell Granholm that shuttered U.S. oil refineries won't restart.
	This is from oilprice.com.
	The story says they told Jennifer Granholm of the U.S. Energy Secretary that shuttered crude oil refineries will never restart.
	So whatever refineries are being shut down in the United States will never come back online.
	And with all the greenies trying to, of course, shut down all the infrastructure that keeps the world alive and keeps people fed and keeps homes warm and keeps transportation working and so on.
	When these refineries go down, they're not coming back.
	It's just like Basif in Germany shutting down.
	It's not coming back.
	It's a permanent shuttering of portions of its production.
	So, folks, this is not a transition or this is not transitory.
	I guess it is a transition.
	It's a transition from a first world nation to a third world impoverished, collapsed, you know, hellscape, basically.
	So it is a transition, but it's not transitory.
	It's permanent.
	This is going to be with us for a long time to come.
	And then, out of Strangesounds.org, crops a complete write-off as wheat losses pass 150 million in flood-hit northwest New South Wales, Australia.
	There's too much rainfall there all of a sudden.
	The wheat crops are just getting completely wiped out.
	Wheat damage is on top of the approximately, let's see, $42 million farmers spent to grow the crop in a year where input costs have been extraordinarily high.
	So in other words, they've lost more than 120,000 hectares of wheat that was nearly ready to harvest because of the flooding, which, of course, is geoengineering and weather control.
	So the crops are, quote, now drowning beneath flood water, may be a complete write-off And they've spent all the money on all the fertilizer and all the seeds and all the fuel to drive the tractors and everything.
	And it's just gone.
	It's all gone.
	And it's gone.
	Oh, I forgot to mention my extended interview with David Dubine should be posted sometime today.
	I believe today.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be posted today.
	That's an hour-long interview that has not aired yet.
	I also interviewed David Dubine when I was hosting the fourth hour of the Alex Jones show yesterday.
	I had David Dubine on as the guest.
	And we covered a lot of stuff, but we did a lot more extended interview that you will see on brighttown.com on my channel.
	If for some reason it doesn't get posted today, it will post this weekend.
	But here's a news story from Infowars that's also fantastic.
	I mean, fantastically bizarre.
	Former Democrat candidate who said, quote, I don't give a bleep what happens to anti-vaxxers dies suddenly while walking his dog.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Let's see.
	His name is Richard Rowe, 41-year-old, not even that old, pro-vaccine politician mocked anti-vaxxers who he claimed helped kill 700,000 Americans before he passed away on October 28, 2021.
	Just a reminder, God has a sense of humor, reads a caption from one Twitter user who revisited the post from last year.
	Screen grabs show that Roe, who got his first Pfizer jab in 2021, was really bothered by people who refused to take the jab, declaring, quote, let Darwin do his work.
	Seems like Darwin actually did his work, doesn't it?
	He said, let me be real clear.
	I do not give a F what happens to anti-vaxxers.
	I don't let Darwin do his work.
	I do not have the pity, he says, or the tears to spare for any of them.
	It's all dried up now.
	Sorry.
	At this point, He goes on and on.
	I'm just hoping they feel one-tenth of the pain they've caused everyone else, he says.
	And I bleeping well think they've earned it.
	And he's dead.
	So, hmm.
	Interesting how that works.
	How many people have we seen now who were mocking anti-vaxxers and claiming anti-vaxxers are horrible people and then they themselves die?
	It's kind of sad because they never get to find out how wrong they were.
	They're dead.
	They're gone.
	It's like, wait a minute.
	You should die and come back so that you can hear how wrong you were and then you can die again.
	You can just temporarily come back.
	You can have a life after death experience.
	You die and go to hell and then you're retrieved from hell.
	You come back.
	You're like, oh my God, I was just in hell.
	Turned out I was totally wrong about the vaccines.
	And then people will be like, well, that's okay.
	You can go ahead and die again now that you realize that.
	And maybe you'll go to heaven this time after confessing your sins here.
	God gave you another chance.
	Go for it.
	Confess.
	Crazy stuff.
	Just crazy.
	Okay, we're going to go into the Basif story.
	I'm trying to move along quickly here, so we have room for all the interviews.
	I do want to mention we've got our Ranger Buckets, our organic storable food, Ranger Buckets, back in stock on our early Black Friday event.
	Once a year event begins November 10th, which is a Thursday.
	It's just right after the election.
	So I'm hoping the election goes well so that everybody's, you know, happy and enthusiastic about the direction we're going, you know, and also people thinking about preparedness and so on.
	Anyway, we're going to have thousands of the Ranger buckets available on November 10th, and that's all going to be at healthrangerstore.com, in addition to all the other nutritional products and personal care products that we have that we manufacture, and we do all the lab testing of our own products meticulously.
	And we make colloidal silver products, including a first aid gel, which is just amazing, using Texas rainwater.
	And it hasn't rained for a while in Texas.
	And we're running out of rainwater to make this product.
	So I hope it rains, but we're not going to have this product.
	Seriously, we're almost out of rainwater.
	Crazy.
	All right, so moving on to Basif, the largest chemical conglomerate Well, chemical manufacturer in Europe, known as BASF, B-A-S-F, is closing down part of its operations.
	It's a permanent downsizing.
	Chief Executive Martin Bruder Mueller has gone public about this, saying they're going to have to downsize permanently in Europe.
	And this has been covered by Reuters and many others.
	Basically, he's saying that they can't afford the high energy costs.
	There's not enough natural gas because, well, the Nord Stream pipeline's been blown up.
	And the economic sanctions against Russia are punishing Europe.
	And then on top of that, there's too many crazy Greens who don't want any kind of industry to exist in Germany.
	Well, guess what?
	Hey, all you Greens, you just got your wish.
	You just got your wish.
	And you can spend your winter cutting down old-growth forests across Germany so that you don't freeze to death, so that in the spring you can look out and see what your green utopia looks like, which is a clear-cut forest field, you know, field of dead, like former forest, I should say.
	And that's if you survive.
	Because you want a basic shutdown?
	Oh, you want a fossil fuel shutdown?
	You want a nuclear shutdown?
	Yeah, you got your wish.
	Now you're going to die.
	You're going to starve.
	You're going to freeze.
	You're not going to have fertilizer.
	You got your wish.
	Hey, the green cult is a suicide cult, which I don't have a problem with.
	If that's your choice, just don't take us with you.
	You see what I'm saying?
	You want to all get together and commit suicide in your little group, your little green suicide cult group, whatever.
	You want to drink your Kool-Aid.
	Go for it, man.
	Go for it.
	You do that all day.
	Just don't kill everybody else in the process.
	That's the problem with these greenies.
	They want to kill Western civilization.
	Well, guess what?
	They've killed Western Europe.
	This is it.
	This is the beginning of the fall of Western Europe.
	And I've got an interview here coming up with Michael Young.
	We're going to talk about that.
	But it is the fall of Western Europe.
	It has begun as of today.
	This cannot be reversed.
	In fact, the CEO of Basif says, oh, we're moving over to China.
	He says, we're making tons of money in China, but we can't make any money in Europe because, well, don't have the energy and, you know, the green regulatory environment is too insane.
	You can never please these greenies.
	They all just want to die.
	I mean, the CEO didn't actually say that.
	I'm paraphrasing, obviously.
	But they do.
	They all want to die.
	They're not going to get their wish.
	Now, in addition to that, and I think I covered this yesterday, not sure if I did or not, but the largest steel plants in Germany are also shutting down.
	That's ArcelorMittal.
	Germany, that's the company name, shutting down the steel plants.
	Yeah, I think I did cover this yesterday.
	But they're shutting down because of energy costs as well.
	So you're going to have no steel.
	And now, because of Basif shutting down, in addition to this, you're going to have no fertilizer, no ammonia, no molecules.
	For really anything industrial, you're not going to have the molecules for oil refineries, for making engine oil, for making aircraft, for making transportation, for textiles, medicines, personal care products, plastics, containers, transportation systems, all of it.
	It's just going to vanish from the supply chain because BASIF is shutting down.
	And it's only a partial shutdown right now.
	Trust me, another couple of months.
	I mean, wait till February of 2023.
	It's going to be a total shutdown or near total, I should say.
	No fertilizer will be produced or virtually no fertilizer in Europe in 2023, which means they're going to have to get their fertilizer from other places.
	So I've got a story here from Strangesounds.org.
	The future shortage of fertilizer for American farmers is straight ahead due to massive increases of US nitrogen exports to Europe.
	As Europe scrambles for fertilizer.
	So since they can't get the fertilizer in Europe because of all the shutdowns we've talked about, ammonia shutdowns and now basic shutdowns, and of course, you know, natural gas shutdowns, which is a hydrogen, or I'm sorry, a hydrocarbon shutdown.
	Because of all of that, Europe is buying fertilizer from the United States.
	So the U.S. fertilizer producers are finding that they can make more money by shipping this off to Europe.
	And as a result...
	Exports of fertilizer from the United States, which is the third largest producer of fertilizer in the world, soared to 370,000 tons in August.
	That's one month.
	One month.
	That's going to Europe.
	Why?
	Because European buyers are, quote, outbidding United States buyers and other exporters like Indonesia and Malaysia.
	So, in other words...
	This is going to drive up fertilizer prices in the U.S. because of the shutdowns of BASIF and ammonia and other facilities in Europe.
	It also means there's going to be fertilizer scarcity in the United States, and the scarcity is a global phenomenon, so it's going to be a lot more expensive and a lot more difficult to get fertilizer to grow crops anywhere on the planet.
	Anywhere.
	If you thought food prices were high right now, You just hold my beer because it's going to get crazy in six months.
	You're going to want to have extra food and extra seeds for the ability to grow food.
	So today's sponsors are hhseeds.com.
	That's Heaven's Harvest.
	That's what the HH stands for.
	hhseeds.com for heirloom seed kits.
	Discount code Ranger gets you free shipping.
	And I also want to mention our other sponsor, which kind of alternates sponsorship, is called arkseedkits.com.
	10% off with discount code Ranger.
	Check out both of those seed companies.
	We've got storable food coming up, like I said, November 10th.
	But folks, you're not going to be able to store enough food probably to get you through the next few years.
	You're going to have to grow something.
	You're going to have to grow.
	And you're going to have to grow with some kind of fertilizer, which is why I've also implored people to store some nitrogen fertilizers.
	Or, you know, NPK fertilizers, you know, different kinds of fertilizers.
	But you can go out to your local feed stores and so on.
	And, you know, you can tell them what you're growing.
	I want to grow potatoes.
	I want to grow tomatoes.
	I want to grow, you know, vegetables and carrots and whatever in dirt.
	Like, what fertilizer do I need?
	And they'll make some recommendations.
	Probably you might need a soil sample, things like that.
	But stockpile some fertilizers.
	I'm serious.
	Because they're going to become extremely scarce.
	You're going to need seeds and fertilizer, and you're going to need garden tools and good quality shovels and things like that.
	Maybe a small tractor with a little tiller on the back of it, you know, and stockpile some diesel.
	Folks, the diesel's running out.
	The diesel's running out.
	I mean, we're down to like 22 days of diesel left, something like that, in the whole infrastructure of the United States.
	And Joe Biden is emptying the Strategic Petroleum Reserve?
	I mean, truly, this is insane.
	It's beyond insane.
	We're facing a situation where the barges can't go up and down the rivers.
	The diesel's running out.
	Fertilizer's getting shipped off to Europe, and the liquid natural gas getting shipped off to Europe.
	We're facing a winter.
	There's going to be mass starvation all throughout 2023 and 2024.
	Frankly, I can't think of a better person to come on and explain this better than Michael Yan.
	So let's just jump into that interview right now and see what he's got to add to this.
	Because Michael Yan, he travels the world.
	He's visiting these places firsthand.
	He's talking to people.
	He's doing interviews.
	He's a former Special Forces guy.
	He knows what he's doing.
	And let's check in with Michael.
	All right, welcome to this urgent, last-minute interview, I suppose you could say.
	I reached out today when I heard the news about BASIF in Germany looking like they are shutting down operations there, moving them to China, feeding into the deindustrialization of Europe.
	I had to reach out to Michael Yon.
	Michael Jan, I've interviewed a couple of times before, an extraordinary individual, world traveler, an analyst, and he nailed it.
	He told me in a previous interview that if BASIF shuts down, it's the end of European industrialization as we know it.
	So he agreed to join us last minute.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Jan, for coming on late at night.
	I know you're probably in a different country anyway, but thanks for joining me.
	It's great to have you back on.
	Oh, it's great to come back on.
	I'm actually in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
	Just got here for some meetings.
	Just came in from London, and I was recently at BASF. I was there twice in the recent months researching this.
	And by the way, I saw you with David Dubine earlier.
	I've watched dozens of his shows.
	He also nailed it.
	One of the...
	You and David DuVine are in the top 1% of 1% who saw this coming way in advance and realized just how crucial this is, that BASF, or as I say, BASF, at Ludwigshafen, Germany, is just the beating heart of BASF. It's just been what I've been watching for a long time.
	That's why I flew to Germany and then drove over to Basip a couple times, did a big tour of that giant facility.
	They've got something that David Dubine talked about earlier on your show, that just...
	It's an incredible interconnectivity of the chemical processes at BASF. In other words, they don't just make fertilizers.
	They make thousands and thousands of chemicals.
	In fact, they told me when I was there, over 40,000, which is like over 40,000, not 14 or 4,000, 4-0-0-0-0.
	It's a lot of chemicals.
	And they have different plants around the world.
	But that one is their original plant.
	It's huge.
	It's 10 square kilometers.
	And these processes, as David mentioned earlier, are all interconnected.
	And actually, BASF invented a word for that called Verbund.
	Verbund, when I was there, they kept using the word Verbund.
	And I said, I speak German, actually, because in the Army I learned German at the Defense Language Institute.
	And I used to live in Germany, so I'd never heard that word before.
	And I said, what's this word, fairbunt?
	It's a quite interesting word.
	And a man at BASF said, oh, we invented that actual word.
	Fairbunt means this interconnectivity of processes that is so complex that it's like an organism, like a living organism in a sense.
	You can't just shut it down.
	You'll kill the whole system, right?
	And as David Dubine mentioned earlier, it's...
	Once you shut this bad boy down, it's not like you just flip the switch and turn it back on.
	If you can get it back started, I mean, you could, but it's going to take a huge process, massive amounts of money, probable chemical leaks and explosions and all sorts of things.
	What David said on your program is what they told me at BASF as well.
	If we turn this thing off, turning it back on is going to almost be like rebuilding the plant.
	I mean, it's like...
	And so how important is BASIT? Well, I mean, it's the beating heart.
	It's the one that you need to watch to see the direction of Europe itself.
	And they're dimming the lights.
	While I was there on one of my trips earlier this year, they said they're looking at opening, dimming the lights on this one in Germany, Ludwigshafen, and going to China.
	And it was all about the energy, and it was all about the – not just the energy.
	There's also the control, the greens, the green – you might call it the green cancer.
	You know, there was an article yesterday about there's such an energy crisis in Germany that they're actually dismantling some of the windmills now to open coal mining again.
	I mean, that's how – I saw that.
	You can't even make up this stuff, Mike.
	I mean, so – go ahead.
	I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	Well, yeah, Michael, I just want to back up.
	I do have a ton of questions for you, and I know you have to catch a flight pretty soon, too, so let me know when you need to go.
	But, you know, you and I, in the last interview that we did, we talked about this.
	We told everybody, watch Basif, because Basif requires...
	Natural gas, large quantities of it, not only for the hydrocarbon molecules, which is a feedstock to manufacture things like ammonia.
	And we talked together, you know, about the Haber-Bosch process and so on.
	I think our audience knows all about that.
	But also, the natural gas is necessary to have the power and the heat to run the processes to make the 40,000 chemicals that basic manufactures.
	Well, once Nord Stream 1 and 2 got blown up by the United States, Then even the possibility of having natural gas supplies abundant once again to Germany, that possibility was wrecked.
	And I have to believe that led to this decision, which is being reported by Reuters and others, where Basif is now saying, and this is from the CEO, what's his name here?
	Here it is.
	Martin Rudermuller says they're going to downsize permanently, permanently.
	They're not even pretending that this is transitory.
	This is shutting down in Europe and building up in China.
	As of today, that's done.
	So what does this tell us, Michael, about the future of Europe?
	Well, it's interesting because, you know, as soon as those pipelines were blown up, of course, Nord Stream 2 wasn't actually open yet because of pressure from the United States in particular.
	But when Nord Stream 1, I was up all night, by the way, when Putin shut it down earlier this year just watching the flows because there was an online monitoring station where you could watch the flows.
	And he cut it off, but he didn't blow it up, right?
	Yeah.
	And then it strongly looks like we actually did it.
	I mean, I would bet 99.99% we blew it up.
	And as soon as that happened, I said, wow, we just killed Europe.
	We just literally put a bullet through Europe's head.
	Because this is what I do.
	I track this stuff.
	I'm tracking the energy.
	I'm tracking the food supplies.
	That's why I watch you.
	That's why I watch David Dubai.
	And that's why I watch others who are watching their corners.
	And I'm out here basically on perpetual recon.
	And as soon as soon as that happened, now I would pay attention to the Amal flows that are going through coming from Russia, going through Belarus and Ukraine.
	Those are still open for some reason.
	And I would watch other infrastructure, for instance, the Norwegian flows, not Nord Stream, but Norwegian flows.
	And there's various other pipelines.
	But essentially, as soon as we saw something happen to Nord Stream 1, I knew BASIF was dead.
	And again, that's it.
	And so the deindustrialization, as you were talking about earlier on your earlier show with David Dubine, the smelting plants, David's been talking about this for a while, they've been closing.
	And the steel and everything else is one by one.
	That's why I have bought everything that I'm going to buy, like the extra batteries for solar and solar panels and all these.
	That's why I pay so much attention to what you do because you have a lot of important tips like how to use a tractor for energy instead of getting a generator.
	And, I mean, these sorts of things are going to become vital information for people to get through this thing because there's going to be an epic global famine on a scale that I've been talking about it since January of 2020 was when I first started warning.
	January of 2020, so, you know, almost going on three years soon.
	I've been warning about it.
	Back then it was just a dim, foggy thing.
	I could see it coming, but I couldn't quite make out the form.
	And now as month by month passes, we see the form.
	Europe is going to go cold.
	Germany will probably run out of gas roughly February-ish, something like that.
	I just drove probably 1,000 miles around Germany.
	I drove from Netherlands over to Prague and down to...
	Hungary and over to Austria, back up all over Germany.
	Mike, you're not going to believe how many trees they're cutting down.
	I told Jordan Peterson, he spent two days with me over there recently after I went on a show.
	I said, Jordan, when you're flying over Germany, look out the window and take photos of all those trees that are being cut down.
	I mean, they're cutting down millions and millions of trees.
	And as you know, there's a big difference in heating your home with firewood as opposed to having a romantic Christmas tree.
	Fire in the fireplace.
	And I lived in Germany for four years.
	I lived in Poland for two years.
	So I lived in Europe for six years.
	It's quite cold in Northern Europe.
	They're going to have to basically cut down every tree in Germany.
	But keep in mind, they're also doing the same in Poland and Hungary.
	And Lithuania is cutting down trees and sending them to Ireland.
	I was just in Ireland as well.
	And the bottom line is they're just not going to have enough.
	And not only that, as they cut these green trees down, it takes a couple of years to season it anyway.
	It's not like they're going to throw all these trees in a kiln and dry them out, not to mention the fact that they are...
	You know, as David Dubin and you have said many times, it doesn't matter how much electricity you have, which they're not going to have enough anyway.
	They already don't have enough electricity.
	But it doesn't matter if you have 100 nuclear plants, everything working perfectly.
	You can't make nitrogen-based fertilizers with that electricity.
	You've got to have the gas, the Haber-Bosch process.
	which you've described many times on your show.
	David has described it many times.
	I described it many times.
	It is just what it is.
	The math is not going to add up.
	Now, one thing that we get from famines is we always get pandemic from famine, and you always get war every time, no exception.
	And another thing you get from that triangle of death, the four horsemen, well, the four horsemen, but that three horsemen is the pandemic famine war, right?
	You get hop, human osmotic pressure.
	the human osmotic pressure, the push and pull of migration, And right now we see massive numbers.
	As you know, I've been spending months, I don't know, four months, five months in the jungles in Panama in the last couple of years in the Darien Gap.
	I took two congressmen down in there, Tom Tiffany from Wisconsin, for instance, took them deep into the jungle to watch these migration flows that are flowing from Africa, flowing from Asia, and flowing from South America, and also Haiti and Cuba, flowing through Colombia.
	I was down in Colombia as well.
	That's where the Darien Gap starts.
	And then it comes into Panama.
	What we're looking at here is as these famines unfold in places like Africa and Europe, you know, people can make it to the United States in many ways.
	All you have to do is get to South America somehow, and once you get to South America, then get to Colombia and go through that jungle, and then it's just bus rides in Europe, you know, Texas, California, New Mexico, and all that.
	So, I mean, you know, go ahead.
	No, I mean, everything you're saying is extremely valuable, but I want to focus on something, how this impacts America as well.
	But first, since you speak German, the steel plant in Germany, the steel company, I want to make sure I'm pronouncing this correctly, so I'll ask you, is it ArcelorMittal?
	Is that how you say that?
	I think it'd be ArcelorMittal.
	I heard David talking about it earlier, but I haven't been over there.
	Yeah, ArcelorMittau.
	Okay, so that company is shutting down the two largest steel plants in Europe.
	They're both located in Germany, according to media reports, and they're shutting them both down for the same reason that BASIF is shutting down.
	So if you're shutting down steel...
	And we already know that ammonia has been shut down and aluminum and manganese, zinc, copper smelting, nickel, all that stuff.
	And now BASIF is shutting down.
	It's no longer a debate that the deindustrialization of Europe has arrived.
	Now it's just a matter of whatever's left in the inventory being gone over the next few months and then that's it.
	There's no more steel, there's no more aluminum, there's no more chemicals, no more fertilizer, period.
	That's it, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	And keep in mind, I just spent four months in Europe.
	I was over in Germany and Netherlands and Austria, Hungary, Luxembourg, Belgium, where else?
	Czech Republic, Ireland, just was in London for meetings.
	It's clear that...
	They're going to have famine across Europe.
	It's crystal clear.
	As I just told a member of parliament in Netherlands the other day, I said, look, at this rate, you're going to lose Amsterdam to the sea.
	You're going to lose a lot of Netherlands to the sea because you have to have energy to keep that water back, period.
	You don't have those windmills anymore, right?
	And although Netherlands has plenty of energy, by the way, they've got natural gas at Groningen and plenty of it.
	It's right underground.
	Same as the UK. They've got it up at Blackpool.
	They're just not tapping into it.
	It's right there, and the infrastructure's already there.
	Mike, all you've got to do is turn the valve to the right a little bit.
	It's right there.
	The infrastructure's there.
	That's it.
	It's that simple.
	And they're not doing it because the information war, the highest form of warfare is information war, right?
	That's it.
	And the information war has got all these people going, oh, no, we're having earthquakes because of, you know, they're pumping the gas out of Groningen, which they had is like 2.3 earthquakes, you know, real whoppers, real, you know, building flatteners.
	It puts cracks in people's walls, right?
	That's all it does.
	So spackle up the walls and start pumping that gas out.
	And I talked with a – when Jordan Peterson came over, we spent two dinners.
	I arranged one dinner with a scientist one night.
	And the next evening I arranged dinner with a retired CEO of a huge Dutch chemical plant that used to make ammonia.
	And, you know, we talked about that for, I don't know, two or three hours with Jordan.
	And the CEO, the retired CEO, he's like, listen, India and Brazil, they're going to starve because they are dependent on Europe for their ammonia – for their nitrogen-based fertilizers.
	They just can't get it.
	They're not going to get it from Trinidad and Tobago.
	There's not going to be enough.
	There's not enough.
	Anywhere in the world, China's not going to send it to them.
	They're just not going to get it.
	So, you know, several years ago, maybe four or five actually, I was down in Sri Lanka checking it out.
	I was checking out food issues.
	And I was over in...
	I checked out Bangladesh, and I was specifically taking it out, checking it out in case there was a famine there, actually.
	And I checked out Myanmar because I'm here in Thailand now.
	There's a reason I'm here.
	Tomorrow I'm meeting with one of the ex-prime ministers.
	He's a friend of mine.
	And what I'm going to talk about is tell him about these routes that I reconned from India through Bangladesh through Myanmar.
	You know, Thailand has plenty of food.
	Thailand's good to go.
	It looks like it.
	You go to the grocery stores.
	Prices are higher, a lot higher, but they still have plenty of food.
	But when India and Bangladesh and Myanmar all start to...
	Myanmar has a lot of arable land, by the way.
	It's not planted.
	They need to get on it.
	But you're going to have that hop, that human osmotic pressure where India...
	And Bangladesh just dump right through Myanmar and come right here to Thailand, right?
	You should see the border between Myanmar and Thailand.
	I spend a lot of time out there, and it's just junk.
	It's easy to go across.
	You're not going to be able to stop them.
	And so this is the thing that people have to take into account.
	One of the things, if you read books on famine, I would suggest everybody read at least five books on famine and stop what you're doing and start reading them now.
	A lot of people say, hey, it's not a problem for me because I live surrounded by farmland.
	That's nonsense.
	It's complete nonsense.
	Just because you live around farmland means absolutely zero.
	Zero.
	That's how much weight you should put on the security of living around farmland.
	For instance, in Mal's Great Famine...
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, let me interject a question that's related to that, and then you can continue that thought, but In terms of the movement of these commodities around the world.
	So the United States fertilizer industry, whatever they produce domestically in the US, is going to be purchased by Europe and by India and other countries.
	In other words, they're going to deplete the fertilizer supply in the US because somebody else somewhere else is going to be willing to pay more for that fertilizer, somebody to put it on a ship.
	and just put it across the ocean.
	Same thing with LNG.
	So the natural gas that would normally be supplied in the United States to have affordable gas, a lot of it, as much as they can, is being shipped over to Europe right now.
	So that's creating gas shortages in the United States, which is exactly to your point, Michael.
	You can have farms all around you, it doesn't matter if the fertilizer is all shipped off because somebody overseas is willing to pay triple the price.
	Yeah, that's one of the reasons.
	And also, countries like Japan.
	Japan imports more than 70% of its food.
	And Malaysia just cut off gas shipments to Japan.
	So there's all these little things in this very complex system.
	All these island nations and island states.
	Hawaii imports more than 90% of their food.
	Puerto Rico, Cuba, all these different places, they're just not going to make it.
	And in our population, as you've said it on your program numerous times, there's probably 4 billion with a B extra people on earth because of the Haber-Bosch process, which is being systematically turned off.
	And so there's just when the musical chairs stop, which they have stopped already, it's actually stopped.
	There's still a bunch of fertilizer in the pipe, but not enough already.
	And then as we go into the planting season, it's just like when I was having dinner with the CEO of the chemical plant and Jordan Peterson, he said, listen, the fertilizer is just the farmers don't have it.
	Usually he said we make fertilizer 365 days a year except for the annual maintenance, which, you know, they're scheduled.
	And so that's accounted for.
	And so they're constantly just creating a fertilizer and then shipping it out, right?
	They don't just ship it out into giant warehouses.
	They ship some of it like that, but a lot of it goes directly to the in-state buyer, right?
	And so that everybody's ready.
	When they're ready to fertilize their field, it's not like everybody then orders suddenly and all the trucks rush to the farms.
	No, they've already got it.
	They're set to go.
	They load up their tractors and all that, and they go fertilize their fields.
	But it's just not there.
	And so, yeah, so we're going to end up with huge famines, which will end up always with pandemic, because famines always create pandemic.
	And those two things always create more war, which always creates more famine.
	So you get this cycle.
	It's a positive feedback loop, which always creates human osmotic pressure, the push and pull of migration.
	Now, one of the things about economies when they collapse, for instance, Weimar Germany in the early 20s, 1920s, There was plenty of food, but people went into famine because they didn't have enough money due to hyperinflation.
	So there's more than one thing that can cause famine.
	One is there can be enough food.
	In this case, in our case, there will not be enough food.
	But also when you just don't have enough money, right?
	And then people start robbing trucks and trains and boats and warehouses and that sort of thing.
	And so then the food stops moving and they start robbing farmers.
	And actually, they do what's called gleaning, which is in the Bible, actually.
	I took Jordan Peterson out to a farmer in Netherlands.
	His name is Jordan.
	He's a dairy farmer.
	He said, Michael, they are starting to glean again.
	I've never seen gleaning in my life.
	That's what the farmer said, the Dutch farmer.
	He said his parents told him about it and his grandparents told him about it.
	Gleaning is when the farmers harvest the field, like onions or whatever they're harvesting, about 2% to 3% of the crops don't get it out of the ground or falls off the truck or whatever.
	And then the people will come and collect it.
	He said he had never seen that in his life, but they're starting to do it again in Netherlands, right?
	So what happens is people...
	And that's actually in the Bible.
	If you look at gleaning, it's like cleaning but with a G, golf.
	So gleaning.
	And you'll see that the Bible actually tells you to let people glean.
	And so they're starting to glean.
	So I looked on the Internet for any other evidence of this.
	I found on YouTube, naturally, there's people on YouTube...
	Teaching people how to glean in the United States now.
	Now, this goes into an interesting direction, by the way.
	And one of the reasons I said that just because you live around farms doesn't mean anything at all.
	Because first of all, in every famine that I've studied, the government always comes and starts taking food from the farm.
	Again, no exception to that.
	And another thing that happens is people start to steal from farmers because they're hungry.
	It's not because they're just natural thieves.
	It's because they're hungry.
	And then the farmers go bankrupt.
	Right.
	Right.
	And so the farmers then stop planting.
	And then now you go into a really severe famine.
	So that second season, that first season you get into the food shortages.
	People are hungry.
	They start robbing things because they're hungry.
	The government starts taking food from farmers.
	Now you get into that second season when the farmers are actually not farming.
	And in this case, not farming and not enough fertilizer for those who are farming.
	So, you know, we're looking at, you know, 2023 going to be rough.
	2024 going to be hell on earth.
	And no telling what 2025 is going to bring.
	But, you know, people that are like, hey, I've got three months of food.
	I should be fine.
	No, no, you're not even in the right.
	You're not even in the ballpark.
	You know, you didn't even show up to the baseball field with three months supply.
	I've heard some people on the internet that are kind of, I don't know, watered-down preppers, they're telling people who live in apartments that you're fine if you just have a 30-day supply of food because everything should be working again within a few weeks.
	Yeah, right.
	You're right.
	And people that follow your work know that's nonsense.
	And then people that follow David Dubon as well.
	I mean, you know, I just tell people all the time, Just listen to Mike.
	Listen to Mike Adams.
	Listen to David Dubine.
	And then, you know, make up your own mind.
	And I'm telling you what I see.
	And what I see is actually we're not in an echo chamber because we all discovered each other after we all saw this, right?
	That's true.
	We found each other post-facto when I'm like, hey, there's somebody else who actually sees it, right?
	I was talking about the Haber process in late 2020 or sometime in 2021, I think.
	Actually, I was on Infowars doing a show about it, and people were asking me afterwards, why are you talking about chemistry?
	Because half the world is only alive because of this.
	I don't mean to turn this into the science hour, but everybody's got to know NH3 ammonia, the H comes from the hydrocarbons in natural gas.
	And if you don't have the H, you don't have the NH3. If you don't have the NH3, you don't have nitrogen fertilizers.
	And then you don't have food, and then you don't have half of humanity.
	End of story.
	That's right.
	And they're shutting off the actual flows.
	And if the flow's not there, it's just like cutting the arteries in your neck.
	It's that simple.
	And it's clear that this is being done methodically.
	This is not accidental.
	I'm sure there's some background noise of there was just an actual accident here and there.
	But this is on the bigger picture of things.
	We are methodically being dismantled.
	And we actually know who's doing it.
	If we had a real president and a real United States government, this would not be happening.
	We know who they are.
	We know their names.
	We can go get them, right?
	We can physically go get them.
	But we're not doing it.
	And we're just being dismantled because we're not taking physical action to stop them.
	Well, what's extraordinary is how the United States blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, which was an act of war against Europe, not Russia.
	That was an act of war against the European people and countries like Germany and Austria and so on and Poland.
	But look, Michael, I know you've got to run.
	You've got to catch a flight.
	Any final thoughts you want to add here before you go?
	I would just encourage people to keep listening to you because after I found you, I started listening to you.
	And because, you know, the things that you say are the things that I physically see on the ground on my perpetual global reconnaissance, right?
	And David Devine.
	Sometimes David's talking about stuff.
	I'm like, I have no idea what he's talking about with all this some stuff.
	But when he's talking about things that I actually know about, he's always dead on.
	He's right on target, right over the target.
	So that's why I started listening to both of you guys.
	Wow.
	Well, that's quite a compliment, but I've been listening to you, too.
	We've only known each other for a couple of months.
	I mean, that's it.
	And only through these interviews.
	We've never met in person.
	I'm so impressed with all your travels, and you're on the ground, and you've sent me a bunch of intel tips.
	By the way, I thank you for that.
	You're seeing things.
	You're confirming things.
	So we're not just talking about theories here, folks.
	We're talking about actual things happening on the ground.
	And Michael, you're the guy on the ground.
	Oh, let me give out your website.
	I forgot to do that.
	You're on Locals.com, and it's just Michael Yon.
	That's Y-O-N. MichaelYon.Locals.com will take you right there.
	And you can donate to Michael.
	He's got...
	You can become a member.
	You can get some special content, things like that.
	So it's part of the Locals.com community there.
	Anything else you want to add, Michael?
	Nope, except that, again, I'm perpetually global reconnaissance.
	Like I said, I was just at BASF twice.
	And they were saying, I mean, there, in the plant, the things that you guys, that you and David DeBine were just talking about.
	They were telling me that at the plant.
	I mean, they're going to shut down and they're moving to China.
	And I think I told you that a couple months ago when we first got into contact.
	I think I was like, hey, I just left the plant.
	And they're like, hey, they're moving to China.
	And now there they go.
	Now it's official.
	And it's permanent.
	They're describing it as permanent.
	That's the key here, folks.
	This isn't just, oh, we're going to shut down this winter, or we're going to wait for the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to be rebuilt.
	No.
	Permanent.
	Moving to China.
	And what do you think is going to happen, folks, when we're in a war with China, and China just nationalizes the base of chemical plants?
	Then you think you're going to get those chemicals ever again anywhere outside of China?
	No.
	Not a chance.
	Not a chance.
	It's stunning, Mike.
	It's stunning.
	It's as permanent as cutting off your arm.
	I mean, what you just said.
	They're putting baseth in China where they can just go, okay, that's our fertilizer now.
	You can't even make up this stuff.
	No, it's insane.
	But again, the leader of BASIF also said it's because of the insane green policies, why they're moving.
	Because frankly, the greenies, who obviously are clear-cutting all the forests now, because I guess that's a green thing now is to have clear-cut former trees, but they don't like chemicals.
	I mean, just anything, like chemicals that are used to make food, or chemicals in textiles, chemicals in oil refining, chemicals in manufacturing, to make airplanes, I mean, frankly, to make the blenders that you use to make smoothies like I do.
	There are certain molecules, folks, you have to have in your supply chain, or you don't have modern civilization.
	If you're against molecules, you are against life on Earth, period.
	All right, folks, I had to actually cut that interview short here for the podcast because we're going to publish the full interview separately.
	But just for this podcast, like that part that you just heard roughly half an hour or so was the most relevant part to Basif and the famine and things that are happening.
	So again, I'm going to post the full interview separately.
	But since we've got two interviews today, we've got to leave room for the second interview with Kay Rubichek, because her message is also critical for humanity.
	And I already recorded that interview, and that was a wonderful interview.
	We've got to get that in here.
	You're going to love her message and also how she's exposing some of the evil of fascism and communism in the world and why we have to defeat communism.
	And remember that when it comes to voting day.
	Which is coming right up, folks.
	If we make it there, we're so close.
	You know, we haven't had a big false flag event yet.
	Thank God.
	I know the Democrats have something up their sleeves.
	They're cranking up the wind-up mules somewhere, getting ready to unleash them across the country to stuff the ballot boxes.
	And they're using the fake patriot front groups to try to pretend like there's voter intimidation.
	Give me a break.
	We all know those are the fake.
	It's a bunch of FBI agents dressed up.
	That's why they're wearing masks.
	I mean, come on.
	It's so obvious.
	They're not even clever anymore.
	But, folks, I know I've been frustrated with the GOP. Following, well, people like Mike Pence, who, in my opinion, is a traitor to America.
	You know, I'm talking about the 2020 election and everything that happened on January 6th and January 20th and all of that.
	There's a lot of sorry, sad things.
	Insufferable people in the GOP. It's like, Sylvester the cat, you know?
	Insufferable!
	Sometimes I feel that way about the GOP, but in this election, you got no choice.
	You got no choice!
	You've got to vote GOP on November 8th.
	You can't let these Democrats have one more inch of power or they will use it to bury this nation.
	They will bury you.
	They will condemn you, deplatform you, debank you.
	They will criminalize you.
	They'll throw you in camps.
	They are after you.
	They're coming after the Christians, the gun owners, the Trump supporters.
	They're coming after people just for being white, for God's sake.
	Coming after for all the good Americans, the patriots.
	So this election, my advice, just put Republicans in power at every level across every election that you can, just to stop how evil the Democrats are.
	There's no other choice, in my view, of what we have to do right now.
	So we've got to get out and vote, and we've got to vote Republican up and down the entire ticket.
	It's just, that's what we've got to do.
	And the good news, the good news is there's so many great new Republicans running for office, like Carrie Lake in Arizona, and Blake Masters, and Herschel Walker, and so many other great people on the ticket.
	You know, and I think Oz is going to beat Fetterman too now, thanks to that debate performance by Fetterman.
	But there's a lot of other tickets that don't get as much attention.
	There's a lot of good candidates coming in.
	And these are candidates who mostly understand that 2020 was rigged.
	They understand that.
	So these aren't.
	This new generation of GOP coming in, they're not like old Mitch McConnell, you know, fudge balls.
	It's like, everything's been fine.
	No, it's not fine.
	The election was rigged.
	These are new people, a whole new breed of people like Carrie Lake, and they deserve our support.
	So those are some good positive reasons to vote for them, to put a stop on tyranny, stop the fascism, stop the authoritarianism.
	Hey, we've got Elon Musk in charge at Twitter.
	That could be really interesting.
	And on top of that, we're going to have a red wave, it looks like, if we make it to election day, keep our fingers crossed.
	But you've got to play your part, too, which means get out and vote on Election Day and bring a blue pen.
	And bring some friends, too.
	Bring some family members and friends.
	Get out, join the vote on Election Day.
	We can win this thing.
	All right, so let's jump into the interview with Kay Rubichek, because this is an eye-opener right here.
	Here we go.
	Alright, welcome to another interview here on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	I built a platform so we can have free speech conversations about things that really matter in the world and things you may not hear on other platforms, especially mainstream platforms.
	And tonight we are joined by a first-time guest, an extraordinary individual.
	Her name is Kay Rubichek.
	And her website is krubichek.com.
	I'll spell it for you in a little bit here.
	But she is an award-winning filmmaker, a producer, an author who specializes in exposing socialism, communism, fascism, and the harms, the suffering of humanity that's brought about by those tyrannical systems.
	And she's got a free downloadable book on her website.
	Again, I'll spell it out for you here in a little bit.
	It's called Nowhere Left to Run, 10 Steps to Survive Tyranny.
	She joins us now.
	Thank you so much, Kay Rubichek, for your work and for spending time with us tonight.
	Thank you.
	I really appreciate it.
	Well, it's an honor to have you on.
	I saw some of your work with some other interviews you had done and reached out to invite you on.
	I think your message is so critical for our time.
	So first question, though, since this is the first time we've spoken, how on earth did you get into this focus, this specialty?
	Of all the things you could have done, why this?
	Yeah.
	Good question, because as a video producer, you know, I could have tried to work my way to Hollywood, be making big-budget movies and things like that, and even at one point in time, one of my kids said to me, Mom, why don't you have a real job in Hollywood?
	But, you know, I've had to teach my kids discernment, right?
	And I really think that...
	I want the work that I do to have meaning.
	And sometimes that means you have to sacrifice other things.
	And my family has escaped communism three times, regimes three times from three countries, first in Russia in the 1920s and then in China, where my father was born and raised as a young Russian boy.
	But then the Chinese Communist Party took over.
	They had to escape.
	They were very lucky to survive.
	They would have ended up in labor camps, slave labor prison camps, if they were able to actually live.
	And my husband's family, they escaped the former Czechoslovakia under communism in the Eastern European bloc before the Berlin Wall fell.
	So that has been a motivator for me, but I also myself spent a day in a Chinese prison where I was a human rights advocate.
	And I was naive to communism.
	I was naive to the evils of communism.
	I didn't realize how much...
	I didn't realize it was still alive and well until I came face to face with police that put me in prison.
	I didn't break any law in China.
	I was arrested for holding the word compassion on Tiananmen Square.
	So wait a minute.
	Walk us through that.
	Were you in Beijing?
	Were you in the main Tiananmen Square or something?
	How did this happen?
	Yes, I was.
	I was on Tiananmen Square, which is in the heart of China's capital in Beijing, and it's known as a very public place where people go.
	It's also known to the Chinese people as sort of the last place of appeal if you cannot get your message out.
	Historically, people have gone to Tiananmen Square to try and make a public appeal.
	And so many Chinese people were being arrested, being imprisoned, being tortured and even killed for trying to make a protest on Tiananmen Square.
	I was arrested in 2001 and that's when the biggest Human rights atrocity happening in China was the persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual group.
	And when I went, I knew I was going to hold a banner.
	I went with a friend and my dad, who was born and raised in China, He said to me, you know, you're naive, you're ignorant.
	He was right.
	He was absolutely right.
	I was.
	But I'm also very stubborn.
	And I need to see things.
	I feel like, you know, I always ask questions.
	I'm curious.
	And I needed to understand how the regime could kill and torture people for meditating, for believing in something like truth, compassion and tolerance.
	And so I went to China, Tiananmen Square.
	I held a banner.
	It was a very large banner, so there was a lot of, you know, a few people holding truth, compassion, tolerance, but I was the last one left holding that banner, and I looked over the banner as I was surrounded by Not uniformed police.
	Tiananmen Square.
	This is China.
	This is communist China.
	They have more plain clothed police officers there in Tiananmen Square than they do military.
	And you see a lot of military there, but there's a lot more plain clothed police officers because within 30 seconds I was...
	You know, surrounded.
	Wow.
	And I looked over the banner and I was holding the word compassion in Chinese.
	They told me that was illegal.
	I know I broke the wall, but they told me that was illegal.
	Just to have the word for compassion?
	Yes.
	And what's the Chinese word for compassion?
	Shan.
	S-H-A-N. Shan.
	Yes.
	Oh, similar to mountain.
	Yes, there you go.
	Yes, different tone, but exactly right.
	Yes.
	Okay, okay, great.
	Wow, this is extraordinary.
	So just a programming note, we normally don't use the video of our guests during this segment, but you're broadcasting video and it's coming in very clearly.
	Is it okay if we go ahead and use your video for this interview?
	Yeah, sure, not a problem.
	Okay, because I think your facial expressions also really lend more meaning to what you're saying.
	Okay.
	No, I mean, yeah, you're communicating very effectively in this way, but I did want to ask for permission.
	Thank you.
	So, do you speak Chinese, by the way?
	No, I understand a little bit.
	I've interviewed more than 100 survivors of communism as a filmmaker and author, and many of them were from China.
	And so I've picked up more on the mannerisms than on the language.
	I see.
	I've set up translation systems for my interviews where I'm looking at someone with a simultaneous translation coming in to my ear from a translator in another room so that when I'm looking at that person, I need them to know that I'm understanding them as they speak because that way they will trust me.
	And because to get these people to speak on camera is really hard.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Exactly right.
	And I didn't just interview survivors of torture and brutality, which I did, but I also interviewed perpetrators, people who have carried out torture and brutality and things like that in China.
	And so I really needed to gain their trust.
	And so, no, I don't speak Chinese, but, you know, I've picked up a few words along this journey of exposing human rights abuse in China and really socialism coming here to America.
	Yeah.
	Well, I want to give out your website here for people, just to spell it.
	It's Kay Rubacek, so K-A-Y-R-U-B-A-C-E-K.com.
	And I'll ask our editor to put that on screen as well.
	And what I share with you, Kay, is my wife is from Taiwan, and her family escaped Chinese communism.
	Wow.
	With Chiang Kai-shek.
	And I used to live in Taiwan, and so I do speak conversational Mandarin.
	And I've lived in the culture very familiar with, I think, a lot of what you are talking about, you know, interacting with people and hearing the stories.
	For example, I've sat down with people who lived under communism, also elder individuals who lived under Japanese occupation in Taiwan.
	And who face famine.
	And they had to grow gorilla gardens of sweet potatoes just to not starve to death in hidden places in the mountains and things like that.
	So the reason I say that is because I know that what you're sharing is genuine.
	And don't you have, is it a film or a book called Hard to Believe?
	I have a documentary film called Hard to Believe, yes.
	And you chose that title because what people just couldn't believe what you were saying?
	Yes, because that movie is on a particular crime in China, carried out by the Chinese Communist Party that I feel is, well, it is hard to believe.
	And that's really why the title was so perfect, because that film is really on the crime of forced organ harvesting in China.
	And we put this out before that term, forced organ harvesting was as well known as it is now.
	But It's the killing of prisoners of conscience for the sale of their organs on a massive scale.
	And I'm not talking black market.
	I'm talking, as you're probably aware, is this is being run by brokers, hospitals, doctors, Chinese Communist Party members.
	The state is very much aware of it.
	And because the crime is so horrific, when I first heard about it, it was really hard to fathom until I read the evidence.
	And now there's volumes of evidence.
	There's no lack of it.
	There's even been an international people's tribunal headed by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, who was the former prosecutor at The Hague for the war crimes tribunal against the former Yugoslavia police.
	So this prosecutor headed this International People's Tribunal to investigate the crime of forced organ harvesting in China.
	And I was there in London where they gave the final judgment in 2019.
	I filmed it, put that into a short documentary as well.
	And they said, We're dealing with a criminal state, with China, with the CCP. They have been doing this for decades, and they are killing prisoners of conscience, innocent people, for the sale of their organs and making billions every year.
	And that crime is hard to believe.
	It's hard to accept that people can be so cruel to fellow human beings.
	But this is what socialism does today.
	To a society, it allows people to put that sort of cognitive dissonance in their minds and be like, well, we can murder those people, but not these people.
	And then later on, well, we'll murder these people too.
	You start to dehumanise.
	You start to...
	I mean, they take faith and they take God out of the picture entirely and under an atheist system like that.
	So anyway, that's where the crime is.
	Hard to believe.
	And yes, we investigated why so few people are paying attention to such a horrific crime and very sort of educational film that went through the education market here in the US too.
	So it reached a lot of people.
	And you're right.
	There's been a lot more awareness about this over the last, let's say, 20 years or so.
	But before that, if you had mentioned this to anybody, they would say, oh, that can't possibly be happening.
	There's no way that's happening.
	And I heard that from people for quite a long time.
	But then, you know, there's Falun Gong.
	So the truth keeps coming out about how they are targeted for organ harvesting because they lead healthy lifestyles.
	So their organs are not...
	are contaminated and their organs are healthy.
	And therefore, I mean, they practice a form of Tai Chi and they have a very healthy diet.
	They don't use recreational drugs and so on.
	But go ahead, your thoughts.
	Correct.
	They don't drink, they don't smoke.
	In Hard to Believe, the movie, we have investigators who have called Chinese hospitals and spoken to doctors, nurses and brokers as pretending to be patients.
	And they're called to say, I want a liver from a healthy young person or a heart.
	And the doctors say, yes, we can do that.
	And people have specifically asked, the investigators asked, I heard you can get me Falun Gong organs.
	Can you do that?
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Come, come, come.
	Just come.
	Bring your money.
	That's what we got, not just one time, but again and again and again.
	So yes, they've targeted that group.
	And now a lot of people have heard about the Uyghur Muslims being targeted in the Xinjiang region of China.
	We didn't do anything to stop the Falun Gong persecution and the use of the organs there.
	They started running out.
	That's the absolute shocking thing is that, well, the CCP is making a huge amount of money and just increasing their prison population, but, well, who are they going to target next?
	No one stopped them from doing that, so then they moved to the Uyghur Muslims.
	No life is sacred under the CCP, and it's easy to say, well, that's not my problem, but it is.
	What's extraordinary about this, looking at the big picture, is how these practices, even though they're fully documented, are tolerated by Western nations and their governments that claim to defend human rights.
	So how often do we hear in America from one party or another, oh, we're pro-human rights?
	We're pro-humanity.
	We believe in the individual's right to exist or what have you.
	And then you find out, well, and you're doing business with China and you're not speaking out against this.
	There's a lot of criticism about the NBA, you know, the Basketball Association and NBA players and whoever else is profiting from business deals with China while staying silent about these outrageous human rights abuses.
	But that's what I notice about this.
	Exactly.
	And I think that's a really accurate observation.
	And we are selling out for short-term dollars.
	That's not a sustainable option because we see what happens.
	We lose our manufacturing jobs to China.
	Meanwhile, we get all of our pharmaceuticals, more than 90%, made in China.
	At the same time, we have the CCP sending deadly fentanyl via Mexico through our southern border, killing more than 200 people a day.
	Meanwhile, we're paying for pharmaceuticals, them to make it here.
	We are selling out for money, and that's exactly what Marxism wants us to do.
	They want us to compromise our values and just sell out for money and forget that we have...
	That we have free will as human beings.
	Forget the value, devalue ourselves.
	And think only big government can fix this problem and think that big government is inevitably going to become socialism.
	Socialism, it's a big lie that so many people have fallen for, that socialism is inevitable.
	We should just accept that, you know, China is going to take over.
	That isn't...
	That is a lie.
	If we start to believe that, well, then we basically just give up.
	And that's not what America's about.
	I mean, come on.
	Seriously, that's not what America is built on, and it's not really what people want.
	So we have to stop selling out, one, for money and for buying the lies.
	That's what communism is based on, is lies, and we've got to stop accepting that.
	And I'm glad you brought that up because I'm sure in all of your filmmaking, and I'd like to hear, by the way, some other films that you have available and ask you how can people get those films, by the way.
	But I'm sure you've run across people who talk about how vulnerable the CCP actually is.
	And this is why they're terrified and have to be so authoritarian.
	But China, financially, is extremely vulnerable.
	Because of all the Evergrande Ponzi scheme property developer situation and so much more currency manipulation, all of it.
	China, the CCP at least, is constantly on the verge of collapse.
	And that's why they have such desperate overreach of power.
	But you're nodding, but go ahead, your comments on that.
	You know, I think it's good to laugh about it because, you know, it's better than crying about it because, you know, they seem so powerful.
	Tyranny always seems so powerful.
	And that makes us afraid when they look like the big dictator.
	And sure, they are because they're playing that role.
	They want us to be afraid.
	That's exactly what they want.
	And so when we're afraid, we play into their hands.
	But they are vulnerable.
	You're absolutely right.
	They are so vulnerable because this regime is built on lies.
	And it's a house of cards.
	Once enough people know the truth and they value themselves, then The lies cannot exist anymore.
	And I'll give you an example of that.
	I interviewed a former propaganda official for one of the movies I did.
	I also put his story into my recent book.
	And he said, I used to wonder why our propaganda department used to teach us that The CCP propaganda media machine, it's all propaganda.
	All the news is propaganda.
	They're told that.
	The journalists are told, you do propaganda, not news.
	That's the period.
	And he said, I used to wonder why our director would teach us that propaganda must have two layers of skin.
	And he said he realized later after he left the CCP, he said, because the inner layer is the truth, but you cannot let the public know the truth.
	You have to give them the lie.
	And if the public knew the truth, he said the CCP would fall in an instant.
	And that's what this high-level former official told me.
	And I heard that from so many of the officials that I interviewed.
	That just proved to me again that tyranny is vulnerable.
	And look at what happened to me.
	Me, you know, young ignorant woman goes to China, holds up a banner that says compassion gets thrown into prison.
	What do they do?
	They get me out of there as fast as they can.
	And even when they took, they tried to make me buy my own plane ticket out, tried to steal my credit card, and I refused.
	I refused to sign the papers that were all in Chinese that I couldn't read, that they were screaming at me trying to get me to sign.
	I said no.
	And I stood my ground.
	And then they used all these other propaganda tactics on me, but I didn't give them my credit card because I already had a return flight.
	They didn't want to wait three days, but they paid for my plane ticket to get me out of the country.
	And when they took me to the plane, they took me in a secret passageway.
	I didn't pass any airport staff.
	It was a very quiet passageway to get me all the way directly onto an airplane so that I wouldn't have the chance to say the word compassion to the public again.
	Wow.
	And that's how much they fear the truth.
	But as soon as I got on that plane, I stood up and told everyone what happened to me.
	And there was nothing they could do because I was being sent back, deported to Australia.
	So they are absolutely vulnerable.
	And the truth is such a powerful weapon.
	And we all wield that weapon.
	And we have to remember that because tyranny wants us to forget that.
	But that's where we have the upper hand.
	We always have, always will.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	In fact, Susan Sarandon put something out on the internet a couple of days ago.
	I want to read this for you.
	And of course, in terms of political slant, Susan Sarandon, you know, leans very much leftist in American politics.
	But she put out a picture on the internet, and I want to read it for you because I... Well, okay, here it is.
	It's a picture of a...
	Of a message on a wall.
	It says, And the internet is so confused because they're like,
	Does Susan Sarandon not realize that's the tyranny that's also creeping into America right now?
	How does she not see that?
	But that's also a great description of exactly what China is like under the CCP, is it not?
	It is.
	It is.
	It's George Orwell's 1984, isn't it?
	And I like to say China is the best example of the worst case that could happen and has happened because they've had decades of brainwashing their youth.
	That's the scary thing.
	Now, our youth are starting to be brainwashed here at a younger age.
	They've already worked through the college system.
	Socialists have had that plan for a long time.
	I mean, really, to think that When the Berlin Wall fell and the communists who had had their taste of power, having control over Russia and half of Europe and China, to think that they just gave up and started gardening.
	I mean, seriously, it's just...
	Come on.
	So they've just gone underground.
	It's Karl Marx called communism the specter.
	And that's probably the most accurate description.
	It's sort of this...
	It's an ethereal demon thing, according to Marx.
	And I say he's probably quite right.
	And so here it's been working on our education system and now it's targeting our youth.
	And it just latches onto anything that's going on in, you know, woke agenda and all of that.
	And it just starts to permeate and twist people's minds.
	That's why my last book is called Who Are China's Walking Dead?
	And that's interviews with former CCP officials.
	Because to me, that's where we would head if we allow socialism to really take over, to become the single party here.
	And if we give up, basically, and allow that to take over this nation.
	Because in China, it was these former Communist Party officials who said to me in one of the interviews early on, one of them said, we've become...
	Solless bodies, walking flesh.
	And I had to stop the interviewer at that point, which I rarely do when I'm doing a documentary interview.
	And I'm like asking the translator, what is he saying?
	And she said, yeah, walking corpses, soulless bodies.
	And I said, okay, it's like really zombie-ish.
	I said, could we say walking dead?
	She said, yeah, yeah, it's a fair translation.
	I thought, okay, Americans, we can understand that.
	But I didn't like it.
	But I thought, okay, he said it.
	Let me ask the next guy.
	You know, so I interview a judge.
	I interview a guy that ran multiple slave labor prison camps.
	I interview a former secret agent, national security secret agent in China.
	I interview all these people and I ask them, have you heard of this term?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, sure we did.
	And it was the, when the CCP, when communism started to take over China, there were a lot of people like your family, right, who escaped to Taiwan, escaped to Hong Kong.
	And there was an academic in Hong Kong who was observing and he said, we're going to become the walking dead.
	And that's where that phrase first came.
	And that's what they've become themselves because they've just had to separate their conscience and start putting the party above everything.
	And that's when there's that disconnect where, say, someone very liberal will say, oh, you know, look, there's fascism from, you know, this white guy over here, he's a fascist, he's going to take over the nation and be like Hitler.
	And you're thinking...
	Hang on, that guy's representing more than 80 million people that actually voted for him.
	You see the hypocrisy or the irony in it, but the way the liberal media are now, people say to me, how can they not see that they're just parroting ridiculous lies and things?
	And I say, well, if you...
	Look at Marxism and certainly the Chinese Communist Party.
	These people have made an oath to put the party above everything.
	In China, they pledge an oath that the party is above the country.
	The party is above the Chinese people.
	It's above everything.
	And if someone's got to take a fall It may be you because the party cannibalizes itself too.
	So it's like that's how this groupthink comes in.
	And that's what we're seeing in the liberal media, far left media especially, where they should know.
	They're intelligent people.
	They should know that what they're saying is kind of ridiculous sometimes.
	But they're putting the party line above that, above that logic, above that rationality.
	And that's That's what's happened in China to an extreme because that's been 70 years there.
	But that's the worst.
	We don't want to go that way.
	We can see that we're starting to go that way, but we have a different foundation.
	So I still see a lot of hope here, but we have to recognize how far it could go.
	Absolutely.
	And it's quite indicative of communism or fascism to have an inversion of reality, such as to say men can get pregnant, for example.
	That's the inversion that has crept into America.
	If you get pregnant, you are not a man, period.
	That's by definition.
	But we are supposed to believe that, which is exactly the way the CCP brainwashes into people.
	Yes.
	The false reality.
	It's exactly the same.
	And what worries all of us in America is how much of that CCP philosophy is creeping into America right now through the Democrat Party, typically.
	Now, are you living in America or are you in Australia?
	I'm living in upstate New York in America.
	Okay, I thought you were on the Eastern Time Zone.
	Yeah.
	Now, these people that you interview, where are you interviewing them?
	Because don't they put their lives and even their families at great risk?
	Because China will go after the family members of someone who speaks out like this.
	Yeah, yeah, these are very brave people.
	There was a few people that were willing to be interviewed by me who was still living in China at the time.
	I only agreed to a couple of them.
	Most of them I said no because I just knew they were going to be arrested and I just didn't want that blood on my hands.
	I agreed to a couple of people who were just so gutsy and I was like, oh, I couldn't say no to them because they're just so...
	Oh, my gosh.
	There's still some really amazing, strong people, clear-headed people.
	But the others, I sought out people who had already defected from the regime, who were living in other countries.
	We had to travel to five countries, including the U.S., so four countries, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, and for these interviews as well as America and in a few states here.
	Yeah, they had already...
	The irony is that they left China because they couldn't be themselves.
	They felt they truly couldn't be Chinese under the communist regime.
	They felt they were going to die, basically.
	One of them, he was responsible for slave labor prison camps where 15-year-old girls were being tortured to death, and he just didn't want to be an accomplice to that anymore.
	So he left.
	Because he wanted to have those true human values.
	They're not just Chinese values, right?
	They're everyone's values.
	But they're certainly not communist values.
	Communist values require that you accept killing, that you accept murder, you accept torture and brutality.
	There is no bottom line, basically.
	This is what they also told me, which confirmed it.
	These guys, they already knew what was at risk.
	They already had been called traitors to their homeland, even though you think they're such heroes because they said, you know, I want to keep my culture.
	I want to keep my...
	Sanity.
	I want to keep my humanity.
	And to do that, I have to leave the homeland that I love and try and do it somewhere else.
	Because communism isn't certainly not a Chinese thing.
	It came from the West and was implanted to China.
	So it's kind of crazy.
	I'm glad you brought up that point because, as I said earlier, I lived in Taiwan, but I've toured in China as a speaker on topics of network security in my earlier career.
	So I've seen that the Chinese people, as an ethnic group, are extraordinarily gifted people.
	They have, you know, incredible intellect and creativity and determination and the will to grind through almost anything.
	They're extraordinary.
	And yet, I look at Taiwan versus mainland China, the exact same genetics, I mean exactly the same genetics, But Taiwan people have grown up under a system that is so much more free, essentially a democracy.
	And then in China, it's communism, Marxism, the CCP. And again, exact same genetics, but I know that if I'm in Taiwan...
	Like, I can trust a street vendor so much more for an honest transaction.
	If I'm in mainland China, I know 90% chance I'm going to get ripped off because the morality is gone.
	The ethics are gone, but it's been beaten out of those people.
	It's not natural.
	It was beaten out of them by the CCP, but it's not who they really are.
	Just as you just said.
	That's the nail on the head that we have to hit, is that the CCP is not China.
	The CCP is not the Chinese pupil.
	And even today, the propaganda that just controls the media, state-run media, there is no non-state-run media in China.
	It's all controlled by one party.
	Even today, there's headlines where they say China is the Communist Party.
	To love China is to love the Communist Party.
	That China was founded in 1949 when the Chinese Communist Party came in.
	It's a lie.
	But when you hear it enough, enough, enough, then you just start to think, oh yeah, that's how it is.
	And children, when they're indoctrinated with that from birth, They just don't question it.
	And that's where...
	In my book, I have a chapter called Lives of Grass.
	And that's what so many Chinese people told me.
	They said, our lives aren't worth any more than grass.
	And just today, a friend of mine messaged me and said, her small town in China has gone into lockdown.
	They don't know how long it's going to be for.
	She said, thank goodness my father had just visited and given some food to my cousins.
	He got out and...
	The city's just gone into lockdown and it's a small city.
	And because of this crazy zero COVID policy, the city's gone into lockdown.
	They don't know what's going to happen.
	And I said, how are your family members feeling?
	And she said, they are just so used to being treated as trash.
	They don't know.
	They just don't know.
	And another woman told me in an interview, she said, Human rights?
	Like, we don't know human rights.
	She said, no one ever taught us what human rights are.
	We don't have human rights.
	This is the biggest fundamental difference between China and America.
	America, we say, one nation under God.
	All men are created equal.
	In China, they say, well, Darwinism, Marxism, Leninism, all humans are animals and only the elites are going to rule, but those elites may decide just to eat each other, fight each other, and then there'll be new elites and they're all fighting over that power.
	There is no divine law.
	That's it.
	So that's the biggest difference.
	And so many people say, well, human rights, what can we do about human rights in China?
	There's always been a problem there.
	It's the problem.
	It is the problem that the CCP conflates and makes everyone think that China can't exist without it, which is a total lie.
	And they just, you know, human life isn't valuable.
	It doesn't matter.
	You can just throw people into lockdown willy-nilly, just lock them up for two weeks.
	They may starve.
	Right.
	Or millions of people.
	Or weld the door shut on apartment buildings.
	That happened too.
	But, you know...
	Here in America, as you know, we have the concept of cancel culture, which is wielded as a kind of weapon of oppression against people who do not follow mainstream narratives or who step outside the bounds in whatever way.
	And I would say the most recent target of that is Kanye West, right?
	The rapper.
	He's been deplatformed.
	His fortune is being stripped from him and so on and so forth.
	And people can debate all the reasons, but Where's the deplatforming of China among all the U.S. businesses and all the U.S., like I said earlier, basketball stars or governors of U.S. states that do business with China?
	Is it really all just about, quote, business, which is about money and payoffs and profits?
	What about morality?
	If cancel culture turned its sight upon China and just said, we cancel China until they stop these human rights abuses, we do not do business with them.
	We do not recognize them.
	We do not import, export, purchase anything, even Walmart, for God's sake.
	Then that would be maybe the legitimate use of cancel culture.
	But that's never used that way.
	Globalization has put us into a difficult situation.
	We have to sacrifice on something.
	And I really feel we're at a very historic time right now.
	Where things are going, we're going to see a lot of changes.
	Even in China right now, the population has dwindled so much.
	It's aging out.
	They're not having more kids.
	We don't know how many people have died during COVID, but we know it's certainly much more than what the CCP has said.
	The population is expected to be really dropping even below a billion in a few years.
	So I think maybe it was five to ten years I was hearing from a demographics expert.
	Let me interrupt you.
	I mean, isn't it currently 1.4 billion?
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's extraordinary.
	That's...
	When I heard that, I thought, well, that sounds crazy.
	And then I listened through the whole presentation, and I looked at the research, and I was like, oh, yeah, you add all those factors up.
	Yeah.
	And China, the CCP knows that the population is aging out, and they've been trying to push two-child policy, three-child policy.
	It's not working.
	And morality is a big part of that.
	As you bring up morality, that is really fundamental because they've stripped the morality from the society and they've made people worship money.
	It's very hard for people to get married.
	It's very hard for people to trust each other.
	They don't want to have kids with each other.
	They're not trusting each other to that extent.
	Even those close relationships are so hard because the CCP has worked so hard to control the individuals and not to build up strengthened family units, strengthened local communities.
	There's so much corruption there that people don't feel safe.
	And if they want to have families, they want to get out of China and do it in another country because in China, they don't feel safe.
	So not to say that people aren't having kids, but the amount of people having kids is so low now that the population is just dramatically, dramatically shifting down.
	And with COVID, it's going down even faster.
	So China's in a really difficult state.
	And so things kind of look crazier and crazier.
	But, I mean, the CCP isn't doing nearly as much foreign investment as they were in the past.
	If you look at the numbers there, that has dropped down so much, even just prior to 2020.
	So the economy, like you mentioned, Evergrande, the banks, it's really dire straits.
	Money.
	And what have you got?
	You know, money's just, it's still intangible.
	And everyone who's Just selling out to China, it is a morality issue too because China uses them.
	They will bribe them.
	They intentionally try to get people into compromising situations.
	Get them drunk.
	Get them drugged.
	Take them and then film them doing inappropriate things with inappropriate people on visits to China.
	Then they own you.
	And this is not like a random situation.
	This is a strategy, a proven effective strategy where if they can buy you and they can own you and they can blackmail you, what a business is going to do?
	What a politician is going to do?
	They're going to do whatever the CCP says.
	It's kind of like the Jeffrey Epstein but run by a whole country.
	It's really like a mafia state.
	Yeah, seriously.
	It's like, wow, yeah, come to China, we'll trap you and then blackmail you and control you forever.
	And it's just crazy.
	A few years ago, we're in the storable foods and supplements business, and we were the only company I know of to actually start having China-free labels on our products because we refused to source from China.
	Unless it was a last resort.
	And I think the main thing we still source from China are goji berries from the Tibetan regions, which is, you know, very different.
	But, you know, we had China Free and a lot of people say, what is that?
	Never heard of China Free.
	I'm like, well, it means we try to buy it from anywhere else.
	You know, I mean, come on.
	It should be self-explanatory here.
	But, you know, People like you and I have to educate a lot of folks about these issues going on.
	But fortunately, you are being very effective.
	And tell us about your other films, please, if you would.
	Sure.
	And another movie I made, the most recent one actually is Finding Courage.
	It's still going through film festivals.
	And that's a family story.
	That's one that sitting in audiences in a cinema, sitting with audiences in a cinema and watching that has been just really great because you hear people laugh.
	We can have laughter even with these sad stories and tragedies.
	We can have laughter.
	And so there's some happy moments in this movie.
	There are sad moments.
	You're hearing people cry.
	You're hearing people gasp.
	But at the end, people come out with hope.
	And that's really, I guess, a theme through my work is faith over fear.
	Overcoming tragedy and strength of families as a support and a way to fight tyranny.
	And so this story was of a Chinese American family.
	They had some family in China, some family in America, and three siblings were arrested, interestingly enough, For doing the same thing as me, holding a banner in Tiananmen Square.
	And I found that out later that these two of the sisters were in the same prison cell as me.
	And yeah, but I had white skin and an Australian passport.
	I got out.
	They didn't.
	One of them was killed brutally in a slave labor prison camp.
	And we have the undercover footage inside the slave labor prison camp to prove that.
	Shocking, but that's in the movie.
	And we also have that one sister got out to America, was able to tell her story, but at great risk to her family.
	And a brother was sent to prison for 13 years for printing flyers.
	And I have the court papers from the judge, which I had translated, for printing flyers.
	That's why he was sentenced to 13 years in prison and the torture he received was phenomenally horrific even to this day.
	It's shockingly bad.
	You can watch this movie without...
	It's not gory, but these people's story, it can't help but move your heart.
	And that movie's called Finding Courage because that's what these families have done.
	And while I was making that movie, that's when I started to realize the victims can't give me the answers that I need.
	I need to know how can the CCP be so cruel?
	How can people do this type of torture and ridiculous stuff like putting people into prison for printing flyers?
	So that's when I started to interview these former CCP officials and say, what's going on with the slave-laid prison camps?
	And they talk about it as if they're like, this is what we've always done.
	You know, what's wrong with you?
	That's what they're saying to me.
	The thing is, even in America, if you look at the more totalitarian people in the radical left-wing movements, they talk exactly the same way as the CCP torturers.
	They talk about wanting to kill and destroy and harm people with whom they disagree.
	It's, you know, it's really not, I mean, and again, throughout human history, this has been repeated over and over again, there is the potential for extreme cruelty when people are manipulated using, I would say, satanic influence or anti-God themes, you know, destroying the family, destroying the individual, destroying the freedom to speak, the freedom to worship, and so on.
	It's not surprising to me when that dark side comes out, but...
	Just in interest of time, I want to respect your time, about your book, Nowhere Left to Run, 10 Steps to Survive Tyranny.
	People can download it for free from your website.
	Could you tell us one or give us a couple of clues about what's in that book?
	Sure.
	One of the stories that really led me to write this book, and it's a short book, I wanted to make it short because we need, less people are reading these days, so I'm like, okay, let's keep this short and get it to more people.
	That's why I made it free and made it short.
	One of the women that I interviewed who survived four years in a slave labour prison camp, she told me how much the guards at this camp Had to police them so severely because they didn't want these innocent prisoners to make eye contact with each other.
	Because eye contact, if someone was being tortured and they were trying to transform them, you know, that's what, re-education, brainwashing.
	When the guards are trying to transform somebody, they don't want...
	The other prisoners to see them if they're not broken.
	And so they would always be trying to stop them from looking at each other because just that one glance from someone who isn't broken would say to the whole camp, you can do it too.
	And it would just give such hope.
	And what's even more powerful than that eye contact was a smile.
	She said, you know, when someone smiled at you in the camp, You just knew they're okay.
	And it would make you feel like, I could be okay.
	I can get through this.
	And that was horrendous torture, like absolute day in, day out, barely sleeping if you're lucky, total slave labor.
	You're not getting a cent for that.
	And horrific conditions and brutality, transformation, torture, all of that stuff.
	These people got through it.
	Because they had each other to say, you can do it.
	I'm going to make this.
	I made it through today.
	How about you?
	Yes, I made it through today.
	And they get through it.
	So this led me on a track to really look at how people over history have used brainwashing techniques against us, manipulation through the media techniques, and how people have survived that, seen through it, and strengthened themselves to be able to defend themselves against and strengthened themselves to be able to defend themselves against it.
	People who have survived brainwashing, whether it's been experiments or actually real brainwashing in prison camps throughout history, certainly in the last few decades, those who had strong family ties, that was a constant theme through those who could get through it.
	There was someone in the world that needed them.
	There was someone in the world that they loved.
	That love gets you through so much.
	Yes, faith, absolutely.
	You need faith in something higher, but you also need, you know, we're human beings.
	We need that interaction with each other.
	So these are a few of the stories that I talk about in my book, but I really just go through 10 steps and strengthening your family is one of them.
	And using your miraculous body, including smiling, is another one because you can fake a smile and you're still going to set off that chemical reaction in your body.
	You may not feel awesome straight away, but if you keep working at it, you're going to trick yourself and you will feel better.
	Guaranteed.
	You tried.
	Even scientists have proven this.
	And you are also giving a gift to everyone around you that sees that.
	It is so powerful and tyranny cannot control that.
	So it's so simple.
	It sounds so simple.
	And we want to think, oh, it's too simple, you know.
	But it's the socialists that want us to over-intellectualize, think we're not smart enough, we're not, you know, we're too dumb to, you know, give all of our decision-making to the big federal government and all of that.
	Don't buy any of that.
	It really is that simple.
	So, yes, please download my book.
	Take a look through the 10 steps and, yeah, the feedback that I've got from people is that, yes, this is on point and we need a lot of hope these days because that's what's going to get us through.
	I really believe that.
	Hope and faith and hopefully that's what you'll find in my book.
	Well, well said.
	It's extraordinary.
	Thank you for all of your work and for putting that book out for free.
	And folks, the website is krubacek.com, and I'll spell it again, K-A-Y-R-U-B-A-C-E-K.com.

	We need to encourage each other more.
	You know, just remind each other we can do this and we will.
	Absolutely.
	Well said.
	So there you go, folks.
	The interview with Kay Rubichek, our very first conversation.
	I hope we'll have many more.
	Feel free to repost this interview on your own channels, other platforms, other websites.
	You have our permission to do so.
	This needs to get out there.
	Spread the word about her website, krubichek.com.
	Download that free book, Nowhere Left to Run, 10 Steps to Survive Tyranny, which means we've got to beat tyranny.
	You can't just move to another country or another planet.
	We've got to beat tyranny now for humanity to have a future.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com.
	Thank you for watching today.
	We love you all.
	We love humanity.
	Thank you for all that you do.
	Okay, I hope you enjoyed that.
	Wow.
	Just wow.
	An extraordinary woman doing amazing work.
	So glad we got her on.
	I mean, the people that we get to talk to here and just to hear from, aren't they extraordinary people?
	And it's amazing.
	And I know I get a lot of the same guests back on, like Michael Yan or David Dubin recently, because they're experts that have a constant stream of new information.
	But I also try to get a lot of brand new people that I've never spoken with before.
	And that's Kay Rubichek for today, and I'm so glad I did.
	And we're inviting a lot of other people as well, a lot of other new people that I've never spoken with before, because everybody has got something to contribute to this conversation, this knowledge, this awakening of what's happening in the world.
	And Kay there just did a fantastic job.
	Hats off to her.
	She's on Team Humanity, that's for sure.
	Also, I put out an official invitation to Jeffrey Prather because we almost started a Who's On First comedy routine accidentally when I was interviewing him.
	Was it yesterday?
	And so you may have heard that where he was talking about Mr.
	Yu, who's the Chinese guy who runs that voting software company.
	He was just arrested and indicted.
	And again, his name is Mr.
	Yu.
	And he had said during the interview that we indicted you.
	And I said, you indicted me?
	And he said, no, not you, but you.
	And I said, well, who is you?
	And we almost went into this routine.
	He's like, no.
	So I've invited Jeffrey to actually do this funny routine with me on purpose.
	And I don't know if he'll do it, because he's more of a serious guy.
	But...
	If he does, it'll be so funny because you know how that's going to go, right?
	Who is not you?
	Who is who?
	And you is you.
	It's like, well, who am I? Why are you asking me?
	Who am I? No, who is you?
	Why are we talking like this?
	I don't know who.
	Of course you don't know who.
	He lives in China.
	You know you.
	I don't know you.
	Who is you?
	You was arrested.
	I was arrested.
	No, not you.
	I mean, you can imagine where this thing could go.
	It could be really hilarious.
	So I'm going to invite him to do that.
	Let's see.
	See if we can get him to do it.
	I know, it'll be a real gem.
	Or how about this extended version?
	Who and you were both arrested?
	And in court, who's on first?
	I don't know.
	You tell me.
	Who is on first?
	How do you know who is on first?
	No, I'm asking.
	Who's on first?
	Is it you?
	Of course it's not me.
	How could it be me?
	Not you, but you.
	You's on second.
	Well, I don't know.
	I'm on second.
	No, not you.
	But who's on first?
	Yes.
	How did you know?
	It's going to be great.
	Trust me.
	It's going to be awesome.
	Alright, bottom line, folks, we've got to have fun.
	I mean, while we're watching the end of the world as we know it, it's the end of the world as we know it.
	And we're trying to find a reason to laugh, but also prepping for serious survival.
	So it's Friday.
	You know what I say?
	Use the time wisely.
	Thank God for every day that we have, that we are still here, that we can use to prepare and help awaken others.
	So use it for that purpose.
	And by God's grace, we shall make it through this together.
	Yeah, I know it's not going to be easy, but here we are.
	I mean, we're already in it.
	It's already begun, and we're still here, so we must be doing something right so far.
	There's a lot more yet to come.
	So have a great weekend.
	I will probably post some special reports this weekend.
	In addition to that, of course, you know, let's just hope everything stays calm this weekend.
	But I'll be with you on Monday morning with more updates and more interviews.
	Until then, God bless you all.
	Thank you for your support.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
