Time	Text
	This is the Situation Update for Thursday, December 29th, 2022, my Mike Adams here, as always.
	And I've got another bombshell interview for you today.
	And I'm kind of conflicted about what I'm doing with all this.
	And the interviews with Ed Dowd, by the way, it's just mind blowing.
	And my goal with these interviews is to take these high IQ individuals and take them further than they've ever been in terms of describing their analysis.
	In other words, I don't want to talk to Dr. Malone or Ed Dowd or or like yesterday with Timothy Albarino.
	You know, I don't want to talk to people and just ask them the same 50 questions that they've always been asked by everybody else.
	Yes.
	I want to maybe start there and then let's go.
	Let's go deeper down the rabbit hole.
	Because people like Ed Dowd are such high IQ people that you gotta take advantage of that intelligence and ask some really fascinating questions, which is what I did.
	I completed that interview with him.
	Just a few minutes ago.
	And you're going to hear it here.
	It's about a 45 minute interview.
	But the conflict I have right now, I'm curious about your reaction to this.
	On one hand, I'm trying to do fewer interviews because I'm trying to do more science experiments.
	And in fact, I bought a bunch of science experimental gear.
	And I'm trying to set up little mini greenhouses and stuff with carbon dioxide generators.
	And I'm finding I don't have the time I want because I can't stop doing interviews with really amazing high IQ people.
	And then my production staff is like, oh yeah, we can lock in this interview with this person or that person.
	I'm like, yes!
	Yes, I've got to do it.
	So I don't know how I'm going to Get through this and get the science experiments done and do the interviews with all these people that I want to talk to that probably you want to hear from as well.
	But I don't know.
	I'm going to do my best.
	I'll try to find a balance in this.
	But for the Ed Dowd interview coming up here, we got into not only excess mortality and excess disability, but then the macroeconomic implications.
	And then ultimately also, by the way, the fact that globalization is dead.
	And that's what he said.
	And of course, I agree with that.
	Globalization is dead.
	But the implications of that are enormous for economies, for nations, for geopolitics, for your life, for what it means to be able to afford something, to be able to purchase something, to live.
	Let's say you're going to be forced to live more simply.
	The age of cheap stuff is over, folks.
	It is over.
	Because globalization is ending.
	And, by the way, the vaccine is causing a collapse of the labor pool, which we'll get into that here in a second.
	It's just...
	I don't know why everybody can't see what's coming, because it's so obvious.
	By the way, if you missed my interview yesterday with Timothy Albarino...
	Oh, you've got to check that out.
	I know it was a long one.
	It was 90 minutes with Mr.
	Albarino.
	But I think it's just one of the most eye-opening interviews that I've done in a long time.
	And really critical for what's coming and what's happening in the war that's being waged.
	So definitely check that out.
	And then tomorrow I've got the interview set up with Jamie Walden.
	So that's three bombshell interviews for you this week.
	Timothy Albarino, Ed Dowd, and Jamie Walden.
	On the week that I'm supposed to be taking off.
	So, well, there goes that plan.
	Threw that right out the window.
	But I want to read a headline for you that I think is indicative of the very interesting chaotic year to come.
	And this is from the UK Daily Mail, which sometimes writes some of the most fascinating headlines and longest headlines.
	But here it is, okay?
	You're not going to believe this.
	Buffalo store owner, this is talking about Buffalo, New York, Buffalo store owner opens fire on looters while frozen body of dad-to-be is found after he went out to buy supplies for nine-month pregnant wife as city reels from worst storm this century.
	Now, that's a lot to unpack.
	It's almost a novel right there, or a couple of Jerry Springer episodes back-to-back.
	You're like, how do I unpack all that?
	Gonna be a dad.
	She's nine months pregnant.
	The city's being destroyed.
	Somebody shot somebody.
	Frozen bodies.
	What's going on?
	Yeah, there's a lot of looting.
	There's a lot of Bodies being found, frozen bodies, in Buffalo, New York.
	And what's new about this situation, the chaos is happening in circumstances that seemingly never before would have caused this kind of looting and shooting and chaos.
	You know, normally, in years past, when there was a big snowstorm, everybody stayed home.
	It's snowing outside.
	Are you kidding me?
	I'm not going to tromp around in that stuff.
	You can't drive.
	You can barely walk.
	I don't have snowshoes.
	What are you going to do?
	How are you going to loot in that?
	But today, the lawlessness and desperation are both so bad that now it's like, oh, the snow is five feet high.
	Oh, time to loot!
	And that's what they do.
	And then some of the shop owners are fighting back.
	So one of the subheads from this story is, I mean, I mean, can you blame them?
	So we have, you know, apparently armed Arabs, which there's nothing wrong with that.
	They're store owners.
	They have the right to self-defense, too.
	It doesn't matter what your ethnicity is.
	You have the right to defend your store against looters, as far as I'm concerned.
	So armed Arabs, which is fine with me, chasing looters through the snow.
	Like, that's something you just don't see every day.
	And it says 31 people have been reported dead in the city, and those are just the bodies they've found so far.
	Dozens of videos posted online show brazen thieves taking advantage of the mess with the Buffalo Police Department arresting eight people so far.
	But, you know, tough when you have to run through the snow.
	The department shared a series of videos of the ransacked stores throughout the city as clips also emerged of store owners taking on the looters themselves because, well, what else you got to do?
	You can't dial 911 and expect the police to show up because, well, the snow is too deep.
	So, geez.
	It talks about a guy from the Congo, I guess an immigrant named Sharifu, 26 years old.
	He abandoned his car.
	I mean, from the story, quote, You
	know your low life when you're looting a dollar general.
	Like, it's a dollar!
	Get it!
	Get some!
	No, it's $1.25!
	Inflation!
	Rob more!
	If you're robbing from the dollar store, your life sucks.
	Let me tell you.
	Your life is bad.
	Looters should up their game.
	Loot a target or something.
	I don't mean that.
	That's a joke.
	That's satire.
	But really?
	Looting dollar stores?
	You can walk out of there with like two full bags in both arms and a grand total.
	$32!
	It's just unreal.
	The city was hit with 92 inches of snow from Friday to Sunday.
	92 inches of snow.
	Okay?
	That's a lot of snow.
	I know that that global warming is bad.
	It's just 92 inches of snow, man.
	If this warming trend gets any worse, the entire homes might be buried under snow.
	We'll see.
	All right, next item to show you here.
	Courtesy of Citizen Free Press here, they found this video of a German health minister who says that climate change is going to force travel restrictions on everybody.
	And you're going to have, quote, prohibited behavior.
	I'm going to play this video for you.
	The guy is speaking German, so I'm going to read the English, you know, transcription here.
	And since I don't speak German, I'm trusting that the subtitles here are correct.
	It's not like one of those Hitler videos where people make up a whole new narrative.
	This is apparently real.
	But let's give this a listen and I'll read it for you.
	Here we go.
	In order to control climate change is necessary in your words, the measures and personal freedom restrictions needed to contain the pandemic are also needed for climate change policy?
	Could you please explain?
	So that's the question.
	For example, he says, I'm less able to travel because we need travel restrictions.
	This is the health minister.
	He says, so we don't bring back the virus from other regions of the world where there are more infections, he says.
	A lot of things I enjoy doing, he says, I cannot do at the moment because it's a public health threat.
	He goes on, I think we need certain restrictions to contain climate change.
	That means less travel is part of it as well.
	He's confident about this.
	I cannot even rule out, he says, that during the climate crisis, we could end up in a situation where we would have to prohibit certain things.
	But that is exactly what critics are afraid of, asks the journalist, that the current Corona measures are being used as a blueprint to introduce climate dictatorship.
	That's the question from that journalist.
	And the health minister says, oh, but those are conspiracy theories.
	How?
	The journalist says, how?
	You just said the coronavirus measures should be an example for the even bigger climate catastrophe.
	It's like, I'm quoting you.
	Oh, that's a conspiracy theory!
	So anyway, that's the video.
	That's the exchange.
	So to summarize, the journalist says, hey, what are you talking about with these climate restrictions?
	And the German health minister says, well, just like we did with COVID, we locked people down.
	We're going to have to lock people down for climate change.
	And then the journalist is like, So you're going to use the COVID blueprint as a blueprint for climate change lockdowns.
	And the German health minister says, no, that's a conspiracy theory.
	Like, what?
	You just said that!
	You just said that, like, two sentences ago.
	But it's a conspiracy theory.
	I see.
	It would be like if you sat down with this guy, said, so what do you want to do?
	And he said, they are going to shoot everyone?
	And then you say, so you're going to shoot everyone?
	Because you just said you're going to shoot everyone?
	Are you going to?
	Are you actually going to shoot everyone?
	And he's like, 999?
	That is a conspiracy theory?
	Like, you just said it.
	Anyway, you get the idea.
	It's crazy.
	But it just shows you the power of the phrase conspiracy theory, which means you're not supposed to ask.
	It's just shutting it down.
	Oh, they can call anything a conspiracy theory.
	Oh, you're going to have more vaccine lockdowns.
	That is a conspiracy theory.
	But you just said it.
	Okay, next video, I've got to show you.
	This was sent to me by Bob Griswold of Ready Made Resources.
	Bob pointed out to me that this video has been viewed 219 million times.
	And it's by a musical artist named Billie Eilish.
	Is that how you pronounce it?
	It's a woman, apparently, named Billie.
	Okay.
	Billie Eilish.
	It's called All the Good Girls Go to Hell.
	And this video shows the transhumanism agenda.
	Of vaccines and being taken over by Luciferian forces and then being plummeted into the mud pits of hell.
	I'm going to play this for you kind of while I narrated it.
	We're not going to play the whole thing because it's truly demonic, but you've got to see this.
	This is from three years ago.
	So right at the beginning of, of course, the COVID bioweapon madness.
	But here we go.
	Check this out.
	Three, two, one, go.
	So here they are jabbing a person with vaccines and then the black, dark veins and then the wings.
	Oh, the angel wing or dark angel wings sprouting out of the back of this person, falling from heaven, a fallen angel, right?
	Falling through the skies and then plummeting into the depths of hell, into the mud pits of hell.
	And then from the mud pits, this person is resurrected with the Luciferian agenda of darkness and death and destruction and evil and fear and everything else.
	So, and then I guess the song goes on, but that's what this video, that's all I'm going to show you.
	That's what this is.
	Oh, wait a second.
	She's singing that Lucifer is lonely.
	Oh my, hold on.
	All right, just pause that.
	I can't watch this Luciferian satanic garbage anymore, but I had to, I just had to show you how, well...
	How graphic and accurate that is in terms of what the vaccine does.
	Transhumanism claims them for Lucifer, the fallen angel, you know, depths of hell, darkness.
	And then this person, Billie Eilish, goes on to sing like a zombie.
	It's all about being undead.
	It's all about, you know, worshiping Satan.
	And it's all about taking enough jabs in order to accomplish that.
	So for those who are still out there taking the jabs, they're selling their souls to Satan.
	Like quite literally in a spiritual contract point of view, that's exactly what's going on.
	Now, I still do plan to talk about Matthew chapter 24, but I'm going to push that back a little bit because of the Ed Dowd interview and some things that came out of that that I think are really critical and a few other big stories here.
	One of them, by the way, is about the Southwest Airlines failures.
	So one of the signs of a collapsing society is that corporations are less and less able to function.
	And we're seeing this now with Southwest Airlines, which has canceled thousands of flights.
	I mean, something like...
	80% of all the flights canceled in the USA were canceled by Southwest Airlines or something close to that.
	There's been some information that's come out about this that I think is highly relevant.
	And I think I want to play a little video for you on this.
	So yeah, let me play this video for you.
	It's less than 30 seconds.
	It's an announcement on the intercom in apparently the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport from the Southwest crew there.
	So give this a listen.
	We do not have crew to work this long.
	Once again, several to 1,000 years.
	Ninety percent of our flights have been cancelled.
	We cannot give those views here at the airport.
	We do not have seats.
	We can pass it on a page for an inch.
	We can pass it on.
	So funny how they're on the intercom admitting that we do not have the crew to work the flights and then saying to the passengers, go home.
	but Half the passengers aren't saying, we're trying to get home.
	That's why we bought a ticket on your airline.
	And Southwest is saying, we're not going to be able to run flights for four days?
	Four days?
	This is an airline.
	Or at least, it used to be.
	So, here's what's coming out of this.
	There's been a post out there that claims that all this is happening because the crew scheduling software, quote, went belly up and it almost all has to be unraveled over the phone with crew members calling for scheduling.
	And it says, if we had better technology which eliminated the need for phone calls, this would have been fixed by now.
	Now, We can't authenticate whether that post was made by an actual Southwest employee.
	It's just conjecture.
	But then a union that represents flight attendants has gone public on Twitter.
	And posted a statement that says the real cause of these disruptions is, quote, years of neglect to technological improvements that would fix operational issues.
	So there you go.
	That seems to kind of confirm it.
	Now, remember that these airlines are constantly bailed out by the federal government with taxpayer money.
	Here, have another billion dollars.
	Keep your crappy airline afloat.
	What do they do with all that money?
	Well, obviously they're not putting it into, I don't know, their IT systems.
	And it seems like what's happening right now is Southwest Airlines has had to resort to pencil and paper and phone calls, i.e.
	1970s technology, to try to schedule crews.
	And it's not really working.
	It's not sufficient.
	This is not just about a snowstorm.
	This is about the collapse of...
	a piece of infrastructure of America, an airline, a large airline that is supposed to move a lot of people every day, it's basically demonstrated they cannot function as an airline.
	I mean, if you can't get crew to show up and fly your planes, you are not an airline.
	You are a really expensive tarmac space rental company with a lot of money that you owe on airline debt or airplane debt to Boeing and other companies.
	You get a lot of overhead, but you're not actually moving passengers.
	That is not a business model.
	That is just sheer centralized economy stupidity.
	More bailout money, sure, yeah, that'll solve it, but not really.
	You can have all the bailout money in the world if your scheduling software doesn't work.
	How do people know when to show up and fly the planes?
	So my point here is that this is part of the breakdown of society.
	It's death by a thousand cuts.
	You're seeing it in banking and finance too.
	Have you noticed that?
	Where you go to a bank.
	I've shared a lot of stories with you about this.
	You go to a bank and it's staffed by morons.
	Like people who don't know anything about banking.
	I've told this story recently.
	And it's absolutely true.
	It was, I think it was the bank manager.
	Oh, Mr.
	Adams, Mr.
	Adams.
	Can we ask you a question?
	Because we have a, she said we have a debate among the staff at the bank.
	Can we ask you a question?
	A financial question.
	I said, sure, go for it.
	We have a customer that wants to invest $100,000 in a CD. I said, great, what's the going rate on the CD? And at that time it was like 2% or something.
	And I said, okay, and then what?
	And she said, well, we want to know, should the customer buy one CD at 2% for $100,000 or two CDs at 2% of $50,000 each?
	And I was like, I was waiting for the punchline.
	And is this a joke?
	I mean, you're bankers.
	You should understand this already.
	You're the bankers.
	There's no difference between $100,000 at 2% and $50,000 times 2 at 2%.
	It's the same, except actually it's more paperwork to do two CDs.
	So, of course, the correct answer is one CD. But apparently they didn't realize that that would have the same earnings.
	They thought if you break it up into smaller CDs, you might get more earnings, or at least some of the people who worked there thought that.
	And even the bank manager wasn't sure.
	This is like having an airline with no pilots.
	I mean, it's a bank with no bankers.
	Or a bank with bankers who don't understand the fundamentals of finance.
	We're talking...
	I mean, what is that?
	Eighth grade math or something?
	It's not even high school math.
	And they don't know this stuff.
	It's mind-boggling.
	And if I had more time, I should have said to her...
	Tell you what, let's run this experiment.
	Why don't you set up 100,000 CDs for me at a dollar each, and let's see what the earnings are.
	Just make them go through all that, you know?
	We're setting up 100,000 CDs, man!
	It's taking months!
	Just how long does it take them to figure it out?
	It's like, there's got to be an easier way!
	Remember the big fine, what was it, last week or the week before, where Wells Fargo was fined, the Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau, I think, fined them, what, $3.7 billion, roughly?
	And they had to, I think, refund $2 billion to their customers, and then it was a penalty of, I think, $1.7 billion.
	And knowing what I know about the way banks work today, I'm wondering, was any of that actual deliberate fraud or was it just idiocracy, just total incompetence?
	Because they were fined because they weren't crediting customers for making payments on their car loans and home loans and the bank was repossessing cars that people had already paid for and things like that.
	And I just think, it's just got to be a bunch of morons.
	I mean, one more reason not to have a bank loan on anything.
	Because the bankers, by and large, I mean, I know there are exceptions, but by and large, the banks are staffed by idiots.
	And apparently so is Southwest Airlines, at least in their IT department.
	And it just goes on and on.
	Seems like anywhere you go and you try to get anything done, you're interfacing with idiots.
	It's not just low IQ people who are marginally competent.
	And I hate to use this term, but it's like you're living in a society of retarded people who are running the institutions that you and I have to depend on in order to function in any kind of commercial context.
	And again, I don't use that term lightly, but they are cognitively retarded.
	And they're everywhere.
	Imagine trying to explain something like gold to these people.
	They'd have to upgrade their IQ by 50 points just to understand the concept of what is real money.
	Try to make them watch some David Morgan Silver videos or something to bring them up to speed, and they'd probably turn it off.
	They went, we can't stand numbers, knowledge.
	By the way, that story appeared on a website called based-politics.com with Hannah Cox and Brad Palumbo.
	I'm not familiar with the site, but that's where it was.
	I want to give them credit.
	Very important article.
	Now, the next example of idiocracy that we've got to cover is this international price cap on oil from Russia.
	So on Breitbart.com, they're covering this.
	And as background, you may know that these NATO nations and Western nations have agreed to embargo the purchasing of any oil that came from Russia that's priced at, I think, over $60 a barrel.
	And so...
	It's like, okay, we need your oil, but we've all agreed we're not going to pay you over $60 a barrel for your oil, but keep selling it to us at something less than $60 a barrel, or we'll just stop buying.
	So Russia responds to this by banning exports of oil to the United States.
	Russia's like, oh, you're not going to pay us $60?
	Go pound sand.
	No oil for you, you know?
	It's like the soup Nazi.
	No soup for you, but it's no oil for you.
	Remember, Russia said previously to Germany, no gas for you, through Gazprom.
	Now it's no oil for you.
	And the Western nations, of course, running out of diesel fuel, or at least having very low supply levels, more scarcity.
	And problems of getting diesel distributed because, of course, a lot of the refineries in the United States, especially Gulf area refineries, they used to buy oil from Russia and turn that into diesel, which would get distributed in the southern and southeastern portions of the United States.
	Well, can't get the oil from Russia anymore.
	And it's like, take that, Putin.
	So as we're running out of diesel, Somehow these Western and EU lunatics think that Putin's hurting.
	Putin's laughing his socks off.
	And there's a bunch of people smiling in places like India and Turkey because they're buying plenty of oil from Russia, usually at a discount, and they're just relabeling the oil and then shipping it to the EU. So the EU is still paying like $80 a barrel for oil or whatever it is.
	Even though this embargo is on, but people in the middle are making the difference.
	This policy is making the Indians rich or the Turkish people rich.
	And Russia is still selling its oil.
	It's just slower to get there and it's going through a middleman.
	Because, you know, oil is oil.
	I mean, I know there are different grades of oil, but you put a bunch of it on a ship and you can't tell exactly where it came from unless you do, I don't know, some kind of Fingerprint chemical analysis or something.
	You don't know where it came from.
	Russian oil?
	Who knows?
	Maybe it's Turkish oil.
	Maybe it's Iranian oil.
	Who knows?
	But the EU wants it, so they buy it as long as it's properly papered over with the right paperwork.
	It's crazy.
	But, you know, the same problems that Southwest Airlines has and the same problems that some of these banks have is, you know, the idiocracy problem is also, of course, very present in the State Department and at the top of the Biden administration and in the EU and all these EU bureaucrats and politicians.
	They are truly civilization-ending morons.
	And we are looking at the de-industrialization of Europe.
	of the United States for reasons I'll talk about here.
	But I came across another term today by an author of a book.
	What's it called?
	Here it is.
	I think it's called The End of the World is Just the Beginning.
	And the author talks about de-civilization, which really is a more broad-based, encompassing And I think it's appropriate.
	So, yeah, de-industrialization.
	I've talked with Michael Yan about that and David Dubine, a lot of experts.
	And now we're looking at de-civilization because civilization or the things that are necessary to keep civilization going are crumbling.
	One of those things is reproduction, fertility, genetic viability, things like that.
	And we talked about some of that yesterday with Timothy Albarino, genetic drift and transhumanism and so on, the attacks on the genetic integrity of the human race.
	But if you don't have people in your society who are capable of running the institutions of banking, finance, transportation, education, government, whatever...
	Then things start to fall apart.
	And that's what we're witnessing with Southwest Airlines.
	That's what we're witnessing with banking.
	That's what we're witnessing with government and rigged elections and all of it.
	It's just broad-based incompetence because the people are being dumbed down and a lot of the professionals are being killed off or maimed by the vaccines and effectively removed from the labor force.
	In fact, let me use that to jump right into a discussion about the upcoming interview with Ed Dowd.
	I was talking with Ed to try to confirm the daily number of excess deaths in America and the daily number of excess disabled people.
	Because I've been using the figure of about 2,460 excess deaths per day in America, which is based on the 32% excess mortality across the general population following the vaccines.
	And that's, the calculation involves the normal daily number of deaths pre-COVID of about 7,700.
	So if you take 32% of that, it's about 2,460.
	And then talking with Ed Dowd, in the interview, I confirmed that it's also about 5,000 people are disabled per day in the United States.
	So if you take roughly 2,500 plus the 5,000, you're talking roughly about 7,500 Americans per day are either dead or disabled, which removes them from the theoretical labor pool.
	Now, it doesn't mean that every person being killed is of working age.
	So, you know, some people are too young or too old or already retired or what have you.
	But overall, there are 7,500 people per day that are being removed from the, let's say, potentially productive population.
	And I was also talking with Ed Dowd about comparing that to Vietnam.
	So in the Vietnam War, there were somewhere around 60,000 Americans that were killed over the duration of the war, which turns out to be roughly about 12 years.
	So there's about 5,000 Americans per year that were killed in Vietnam.
	And, of course, many more injured, but 5,000 per year killed in Vietnam versus 7,500 per day in America right now being killed or disabled, i.e.
	removed from the workforce, and again, per day.
	So there are more Americans...
	You can say there are more Americans killed every two days in America because of the vaccine than were killed in an entire year in Vietnam, or there are more Americans removed from the labor pool every day than were killed in an entire year in the Vietnam War.
	You understand the magnitude of that?
	So what happens when you remove 7,500 people, give or take, from the potential labor pool every single day and that these people include professionals?
	Because the highest rates of excess mortality and excess disability are among those who have jobs.
	It's the working people who were forced to take the jabs that have by far the highest rates, excess mortality of 40-something percent, and excess disability, that's just off the charts.
	You've got to listen to the full interview with Ed Dowd coming up to get the full descriptions and the numbers.
	And Ed Dowd calls it a glacial Mad Max, which means civilization is collapsing at a glacial pace.
	It's not one day, boom, it's over.
	But it's that death by a thousand cuts.
	If you're taking 7,500 people a day out of the labor force...
	And again, many of these people are professional, mature, you know, they used to be bankers, they used to be engineers, they used to be even doctors and nurses or attorneys or architects or whatever.
	And now they're gone, and this is happening every single day to the tune of 7,500 people.
	Then it doesn't take long before, well, competent people are missing people.
	From society all around you, which is why Southwest Airlines can't function.
	It's why you show up at the bank and they don't know anything about banking.
	It's why you can't get an air conditioner expert to repair your air conditioning.
	It's why you can't get a mechanic to fix your car.
	It's nothing against car mechanics.
	It's just that so many mechanics are dead or disabled.
	There's just not enough mechanics.
	There's not enough firefighters.
	There's not enough police.
	Not enough nurses or surgeons.
	And it's only going to get worse as the vaccine bioweapons continue.
	So we're looking at not just de-industrialization, but de-civilization.
	I'm going to start using that term.
	I've got to credit that author for that term, if he's the originator of it.
	But de-civilization means you're tearing down the pillars that are necessary to allow a complex society to function.
	And complex societies are very vulnerable.
	They're very fragile because they have all of these interdependencies.
	You know, complexity breeds vulnerability.
	And it necessarily means a lack of redundancy.
	When you have globalization and long supply lines and you're having to ship things around the world instead of producing them domestically or assembling them domestically or manufacturing them, what have you.
	So globalization dying is happening at the same time that people are dying.
	And this will lead to de-civilization over time.
	Glacial Mad Max, as Ed Dowd says.
	So now when we talk about the fact that the CIA is running the sabotage operations in Russia, working with Ukraine, you know, to blow up whatever, fuel depots and airfields and hotels, whatever they're blowing up.
	I don't even know what they're blowing up.
	Every day there's another sabotage operation.
	Well, Russia knows that the CIA is doing this.
	Russia knows that the USA is involved in war with Russia.
	And Russia, I believe, is building up toward a massive retaliatory attack on Ukraine and Western nations.
	And the reason this is relevant to everything we just said is because when you're losing 7,500 people a day out of your labor force and you're sending all of your existing munitions, artillery shells, drones, you know, armored vehicles and so on, and even artillery pieces— Military guns, you're sending them to Ukraine.
	How are you going to replace that if you don't have domestic productivity because you no longer have a functioning labor force?
	Or let's say it is strongly deteriorating by the day.
	7,500 people a day, no longer present in the domestic labor force.
	But the U.S. is sending everything it's got to Ukraine because it's in this conflict to try to defeat Russia at any cost.
	Because, well, the Empire of the West wants to destroy any resistance to its own global hegemony and economic dominance and so on.
	But the U.S. can no longer fight a war because it can't manufacture the munitions to replace the ones they sent to Ukraine.
	And the reason this is the case is because the U.S. launched a bioweapon against its own people.
	That was COVID, and more importantly, the COVID, the jabs, the mRNA jabs.
	These are biological weapons that cause infertility and stillbirths and spontaneous abortions and spontaneous deaths and all kinds of horrible things, right?
	Causing fatalities.
	But as a result of this, and also after decades of offshoring, manufacturing, which has gutted the industrial base of the United States, The U.S. can no longer replenish the munitions needed to fight a war, to sustain a war.
	Even just to rebuild from everything that we've shipped over to Ukraine so far, some people are estimating it would take 5 to 10 years just to replenish.
	And that's the anti-tank ground-based missile systems.
	That's the ground-to-air missiles.
	It's the drones.
	It's the artillery shells, all of it.
	Five to ten years to replenish.
	Well, we don't have five to ten years.
	We might be in a war with China next year.
	We might be in a war with Russia next week.
	How will the United States fight a war with Russia when we can't manufacture munitions?
	Because Our own government unleashed a biological weapon on our own people and on our military too, by the way.
	And yes, Trump played a role in that with Operation Warp Speed, but Biden made it worse.
	But how are we going to fight a war with Russia?
	It's not possible.
	I mean, and by the way, we don't even have the land, troop expertise and munitions and depth of...
	Battlefield equipment to conquer Russia, to defeat Russia.
	The United States is a naval empire.
	We have naval force.
	We have aircraft carriers more than anybody.
	We have the projection of power from aircraft carriers.
	We can shell your country from the coast.
	We can launch fighter sorties and bombers from aircraft carriers.
	I don't mean the big bombers.
	I mean fighter jets carrying bombs and missiles and so on from aircraft carriers.
	That's what the United States is good at.
	We've got nuclear submarines.
	We've got ICBMs at home domestically, but they're not very advanced.
	You know, the U.S. can basically harass Russia, but cannot defeat Russia, because to defeat Russia would require boots on the ground, and you can't beat Russia in a prolonged land war for the reasons I've just mentioned, because you can't manufacture and sustain the manufacturing of the munitions, because you've already killed off so much of your own domestic labor force with the vaccines.
	And there's another factor in this that's really critical to understand, and I've got to be careful here.
	I know I'm going to get a little bit of criticism on this.
	But I live in Texas, and we run the Health Ranger store.
	We've got the warehouse operation, and we're expanding all the time.
	We're doing a lot of construction.
	We're pouring concrete.
	We're building new facilities.
	We're doing drywall and special epoxy floors and all kinds of things.
	And one of the things that I've noticed, it's inescapable, is that If you take a look at who shows up to do the work in places like Texas.
	Now, I don't know what it's like where you live, but I've heard this is the same everywhere, at least everywhere in America.
	Who shows up to do the work?
	Who hammers the wood forms into the ground to pour concrete?
	Who fixes the rebar before pouring concrete?
	Who actually handles the pour?
	Who does the drywall?
	Who's, you know, whatever?
	Who's cutting the lumber?
	Who's assembling stuff?
	Who's showing up to do the work that you would need done for factories?
	Who's doing the labor?
	Folks, and this is not an anti-American statement by any means, but it's not young Americans showing up to do this.
	It is.
	It's Latino culture people.
	It's Both male and female Latinos.
	It could be Mexicans, but it could be from Central or South America.
	These are the people who show up and do the work.
	And the same thing is true in housing construction.
	If you're involved in housing construction and you wonder, who's doing the framing?
	Who's doing the drywall?
	Who's doing the painting?
	Who's doing the roofing?
	It's mostly not young American men and women.
	It's mostly...
	Latinos and Latinas who are doing this work.
	Why?
	Well, I mean, there are a lot of cultural and societal reasons for this But I think part of the reason, this is my estimation, part of the reason is that a lot of young male Americans were taught with the crypto scams that you don't have to work.
	All you have to do is buy crypto and be a hodler and sit on it, and that's your career.
	And so they didn't learn a work ethic.
	They thought they were never going to have to work.
	But the other thing is that I think American culture has become really soft.
	To the point where a lot of young Americans today, I mean, they're taught victimhood in the schools and taught that everything should be easy, everything should be given to you, universal basic income, and they're not capable of swinging a hammer or using a sledgehammer to hammer stakes into the ground or anything like that, or running a saw, sawing lumber, let's say.
	Not even a power saw, right?
	They just don't have the skills.
	Now, I know there are exceptions to this.
	It's not everybody.
	But by and large, they don't have the skills.
	And so it leads us to a fascinating realization that if the U.S. Department of Defense were to crank up the factories to try to manufacture the munitions needed to fight a war with Russia, a sustained war, I guarantee you the DOD would have to hire illegals.
	To get it done.
	Seriously.
	They would have to hire illegals because there aren't enough Americans, partly because, well, they've been killed by vaccines.
	You know, 7,500 per day killed or disabled.
	There are not enough Americans who are willing to work in explosive weapons factories for any amount of pay.
	They will not do the work.
	I mean, they might show up for a day or two and then they're gone.
	The people who will show up and do the work for the Department of Defense in this thought experiment would be the people who are hungry to earn some money so they can wire it back home using Western Union.
	And that is, believe it or not, that's the people crossing the border.
	And if you're wondering why the policy of the United States government is to have a wide open border To have basically no controls on immigration.
	It's basically an invasion of the United States.
	I think part of the reason is because the DOD knows that they're going to have to go into wartime production and they're going to hire illegals themselves to run the factories because most Americans won't work in the factories.
	And you notice too, by the way, that the illegals crossing the border...
	Are not required to be vaccinated.
	Well, why is that?
	Well, because the United States government doesn't want to kill those people.
	They're going to need them for the labor force, you see.
	They're trying to kill off the American people.
	And it's being quite effective, right?
	7,500 per day, dead or disabled.
	Yes, it's a replacement.
	That's exactly what's happening.
	It is a deliberate replacement of the American people.
	And I think that the DOD has come to realize that unless they want to have all their weapons manufacturing offshore, which has all kinds of security risks, you know, you don't want Mexico making your artillery pieces, let's say.
	You want to make them domestically.
	But the only way to do that, from their point of view, is to flood the country with illegals that they can, you know, harness for the labor.
	I know, it's crazy, right?
	It's completely bonkers.
	Killing the Americans and flooding the factories with illegals.
	But even then, is it enough?
	Have we already lost the infrastructure of munitions manufacturing to the point where the U.S. can't really sustain a war?
	I think that's where we are.
	I think if the U.S. enters a land war with Russia, it's over in 30 days because the U.S. is just out of ammo.
	It's done.
	You just have to pull back and, I don't know, Do, you know, artillery bombardment from a distance or drop bombs from airplanes or something.
	But the US isn't going to be able to sustain a land war with Russia.
	Not a chance.
	So the open border is not a coincidence.
	It is a deliberate strategy.
	Universal basic income is a deliberate strategy to teach the Americans to be useless.
	And then the vaccines are a deliberate strategy to annihilate the American people so that they can be replaced with the new migrants coming in across the border.
	That's all being done on purpose.
	And you could even say the legalization of pot everywhere is part of this, just to kind of make everybody lazy and stoned, you know, so that you'll accept the universal basic income.
	You'll accept the vaccine.
	And look, I'm not in favor of the whole war on drugs fiasco, but it's as if the states are pushing this on purpose to keep everybody medicated instead of liberated.
	The states aren't pushing cannabis as a form of health freedom as much as they are tax revenues for the states and then a way to keep everybody mass medicated in the same way that, frankly, the British did to Hong Kong and the Chinese for many decades with, you the British did to Hong Kong and the Chinese for many decades Just kept them all stoned and high and then they were docile and relatively easy to control.
	Same thing's happening right now in America.
	And, you know, over the weekend in Buffalo, with all the looting and what happened there with the snowstorm, it's such a fascinating and almost demoralizing contrast.
	Because the inner-city Americans are looting.
	They're looting and stealing and not working.
	While the illegals are working, right?
	Yeah, it's bonkers.
	The illegals are willing to work.
	The Americans, at least the inner-city Americans, are only willing to steal and demand payments, you know, give us money, give us reparations, or give us universal basic income.
	Not willing to work at all.
	The welfare state mentality has destroyed America.
	The cultural programming has destroyed the work ethic.
	And when you don't have a work ethic and you're killing off your people with vaccines, you don't have the industrial infrastructure in order to sustain a war.
	That's why the US can only fight Russia through proxy nations.
	The US is using Ukraine as a proxy state right now.
	Why?
	Because the US can't fight Russia directly and win.
	It's impossible.
	Next is probably going to be Poland.
	Poland will be the next proxy nation that the US will use to try to fight Russia.
	And Medvedev's predictions were not entirely off base.
	Poland will probably take Western Ukraine.
	You know, under the guise of defending it.
	We'll just seize this territory and say that we're protecting it.
	But it'll be part of Poland once again.
	And then the American Empire will say, oh great, we found another sucker nation to fight Russia and then we'll ship more hardware to Poland.
	And maybe nukes or who knows what.
	And that will leave the USA even more defenseless against China or any other kind of threat.
	So it's so obvious what's happening.
	And it's sickening.
	All right, we're going to go into the interview with Ed Dowd here shortly.
	Got a year-end addiction-busting discount to share with you.
	Not a sponsored mention, but just a discount.
	Cravekicker.com, spelled with a K. Cravekicker.com has 15% off if you use discount code RANGER. On their herbal-based dopamine support liquid shot formula that people use to break their addictions to smoking and to sugar.
	So if you know anybody who's going to make a New Year's resolution, they want to quit smoking or they want to quit eating loads of sugar, which is probably difficult in the holidays and New Year's, there's sugar everywhere it seems.
	But if you know people trying to kick that, they should check out CraveKicker.com and use discount code Ranger.
	And they've improved their formula too this year.
	So check out the ingredients and they've got a satisfaction guarantee if you don't like it.
	But check it out.
	Natural-based addiction-busting product.
	That's always good.
	We need something like that for Joe Biden and the Federal Reserve to break the addiction of money printing.
	You know, something, I don't know, a debt kicker.
	Maybe we just call it collapse kicker and force-feed it to Joe Biden and the Treasury officials and the Federal Reserve.
	Like, stop your debt addiction now!
	This is a nationwide intervention!
	Collapse!
	What do you do?
	They're addicted to debt.
	The country's addicted to welfare.
	Other people are still addicted to cigarettes, sugar, and crack, if you're the president's son, I guess.
	It's just...
	It's just so much addiction.
	I don't know.
	I need to do a whole show on that, on just how do we deal with this in society.
	But don't have time to go into it right now.
	But let's see, a couple other discounts worth mentioning if you need body armor because you live in Buffalo.
	No, I think it's illegal there, isn't it?
	Okay, keep it legal, folks.
	But if you can get body armor...
	And if it's legal where you are, go to hoplightarmor.com.
	H-O-P-L-I-T-E. Hoplightarmor.com.
	Discount code Ranger.
	Gets you a discount there.
	Let's see.
	Shieldarms.com.
	Gets you the folding...
	Firearms, the AR-style pistol and rifle.
	Keep it legal, obviously, but I always recommend 300 Blackout for close encounters.
	Use discount code RANGER there for some savings on the pistols and the rifles.
	And then for seed kits, getting ready for heirloom seeds in the spring, we've got Heaven's Harvest has hhseeds.com.
	And another group has arcseedkits.com, and you can use discount code RANGER for discounts on both of those.
	You know, different kind of discounts, but they both have discounts.
	Don't forget dawsonknives.com.
	If they have any inventory left, I don't know if they've got any discounts going, but great company, great knives, great gear.
	And folks, when you're driving around in your cars this winter, Make sure you've got a bug-out bag.
	Make sure you have a winter survival kit in your car.
	You know, a cold-weather sleeping bag, an emergency heat source, water, and a water filter.
	And so you've got to have the heat in case your water freezes so you can have liquid water or you need to melt some snow or what have you.
	Backup food supply, backup communications, you know, all of it.
	Why are people driving around where there's 92 inches of snow?
	Like they're wearing shorts and flip-flops or something.
	How are you not ready for winter survival when you're driving into a blizzard?
	I've seen people get on airplanes for an international flight wearing flip-flops and a t-shirt and shorts, and I'm always thinking, man, what are you going to do if this plane goes down?
	You're not even ready to hike out of a crash site or something.
	You're not ready for anything.
	You're going to get on a plane with flip-flops?
	Well, I mean, not if it's Southwest.
	Obviously, your flight would be canceled.
	But for most other airlines, the plane would eventually fly, and you'd be on there in your flip-flops.
	I just don't get it.
	Nobody thinks about...
	Like, being prepared.
	What about your everyday carry stuff, your EDC stuff?
	What are you walking around with every day?
	You know, if you don't have a flashlight, come on.
	Get with the program.
	If you don't have a multi-tool, if you don't have a spare magazine and a pistol, come on.
	Like, if I emptied my pockets right now, you know, it'd be embarrassing to tell you what I have as everyday carry, because I tend to overdo a lot of things, but It's helped me out in so many situations.
	I can't tell you how many times I've been in a situation where everybody's like, man, if we only had that, and I'm like, here it is, out of my pocket.
	Guess what?
	Got one right here.
	And I do.
	I wear pants that have big, big-ass cargo pockets, and I've got stuff in there.
	I've got, like, an emergency arc lighter, you know, a set of earplugs.
	Yeah, I know.
	And more.
	Like, crazy stuff.
	But I'm not going to die in a vehicle in a snowstorm.
	I guarantee you that.
	I mean, just at the very basics, how can you not have a knife to cut yourself out of a jammed seatbelt?
	If you're in a car and you're belted in, and if that car crashes in just the wrong way, you know your seatbelt can't really be undone.
	How can you not have a knife to cut yourself out of your seatbelt?
	I mean, seriously.
	Everybody should have a knife to free yourself from a seatbelt.
	I mean, I don't have an AR-15 in my pocket.
	No, that's not what that is.
	I'm just...
	You've got to cover the basics.
	Flashlight.
	Come on, folks.
	Flashlight.
	Knife.
	Even a small one.
	Some emergency equipment.
	You know?
	The basics.
	Cover it.
	It can save your life.
	And just as a cultural note, I doubt that there are any Russians freezing to death in their cars.
	I don't think that's happening in Russia.
	And Russia must be looking at the U.S. like, what's wrong with you people?
	You freeze to death in your cars?
	Do you not...
	Do you have no concept of cold?
	I just...
	I can't get my head around it.
	But I don't think Russians are dying, freezing to death in their cars.
	I also don't think Russians are looting their local stores every time it snows a lot.
	Pretty sure that's not happening either.
	It's just the contrast is stunning.
	You know, for 2023, get prepared or get dead, probably.
	Seriously, for what's coming, we've all got to be prepared.
	All right, enough said on that before I get too overly frustrated.
	Let's go into the interview with Ed Dowd because I had a great time in that interview.
	He's very intelligent.
	He's done a lot of research.
	He's good at explaining it, and we had a great talk.
	So here we go.
	Enjoy it, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	And finally, if you want to support my work, healthrangerstore.com.
	And then also you can hear my podcast at brighteon.com and other video platforms.
	Thank you for listening.
	Here's the interview.
	All right.
	Welcome, folks.
	Mike Adams here, the founder of Brighteon.com.
	And we are joined once again today by Mr.
	Ed Dowd, who has done, I think, the very best research, well, he and his team, into excess mortality and the disabilities that are happening among people following the vaccine mandates that were, you know, kind of worldwide almost.
	And he's got new information.
	He's got a great book that is relatively new called Cause Unknown.
	We'll tell you how to get that book.
	Ed Dowd joins us today to give us more details about his latest findings.
	Mr.
	Dowd, it's an honor to have you on.
	Thank you for joining me.
	Thanks, Mike.
	Good to be here.
	We're in the middle of a fraud and a cover-up, so we continue to do the work.
	Imagine this on Wall Street.
	Enron's a fraud.
	You know it, but it's still...
	Not really well known.
	That's where we are in the case of this fraud.
	It's the greatest asymmetric information gap of my lifetime, meaning 10% to 15% of us know what exactly is going on, the damage that's been done, how deadly these vaccines are, and the rest of the population is oblivious.
	The good news is the booster uptake seems to have gone way down because Enough people have enough discernment to know I'm not taking something that doesn't work.
	I can't be bothered.
	But there are still those who continue to get it at the recommendations of their willfully ignorant or just ignorant doctors and the health authorities around the globe.
	So the goal in writing this book was to make people aware of the fact that something very odd has happened in 21 and 22.
	And it's so odd that the numbers don't lie.
	And my theory of the case, it's the vaccines.
	I haven't heard anybody come up with anything remotely reasonable to explain what's going on with excess mortality and disabilities, especially amongst younger folks and especially the employed folks.
	The punchline is this, I say this in the book, it's been detrimental to your health to be employed in 2021 and 2022.
	We went to Senator Johnson's roundtable a couple of weeks ago and I talked about disability data.
	The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does a survey every month, and that's also the people who give you the employment numbers every month, the non-farm payroll number that CNBC and all these economic clowns talk about.
	And they also ask questions about disabilities, and they ask, are you disabled?
	And not able to work, or is anyone in your household disabled?
	And what we found, starting around February of 2021, and really starting to accelerate in May of 2021, there was a tremendous rate of change in disabilities across the board, so much so that the absolute numbers were this.
	It was 29 to 30 million for the prior four to five years prior to COVID. It would go up and down, up and down, up and down, kind of in a flat line.
	And then starting around February through May, it took off, and we noticed a rate of change, year-over-year rate of change, three standard deviation prior to history, which only happens 0.03% of the time.
	So something was going on in our country, and this can be extrapolated across the globe because we're using U.S. data.
	Where disabilities took off.
	And the high was in September of 2022, a couple months ago, it was 33.2 million, so an additional 3.2 million people.
	If you're conservative, it could be 4.2 if you use 29 as the start.
	Became disabled in a very short period of time.
	And You know, that's a three standard deviation event.
	That's three sigma in my world.
	That only happens 0.03% of the time.
	Those of us on Wall Street, you know, when we see these events, something's changed.
	And usually it's a signal to investigate, especially if it's a stock.
	And do some work.
	And if it's a new trend, you buy the trend because something's changed.
	And usually when I was on Wall Street, you know, I would buy a little bit first just to get on board and then start doing the work and knowing that something's changed.
	Well, this is not a stock.
	This is the health of our country.
	And when I went to see Senator Johnson, I basically told him that when we break down the disability data since February or May of 2021, The employed amongst us, which is about 100 million of the 340 we got in the country, experienced a rate of increase in their disability of about 26%.
	And the general overall population only experienced 11%.
	That's super curious and strange, seeing as how if you're employed, you tend to be healthier than the rest of the population because you can show up to work.
	So, you know, sometimes in brief periods of time, the disability rate will rise for employed, especially, you know, if there's coming out of a recession because people are going back to work, but not like this.
	It's literally off the charts.
	The number represented at the time I presented to Senator Johnson about 1.2 million.
	And we've done a little more work.
	We added in the months of October and November.
	And the number now for the employee ages 16 to 64 that got disabled since the vaccines were introduced is about 1.7 million.
	And, you know, that's a big, big number.
	Because we only have about 100 people employed, 100 million people employed in this country, that has serious economic impacts going forward, which you and I can talk about, Mike.
	Okay.
	Can I jump in here with a couple of questions?
	Sure.
	It's great that you have the updated numbers, and this is what I really appreciate about you, is that you dig into the numbers, you have a team.
	As I understand it, some statisticians and some, you look at U.S. Labor Department statistics and insurance industry statistics that are aggregated.
	And let me just also mention, the name of your book is Cause Unknown.
	And it's out now.
	I think it's selling very rapidly.
	You've hit number one in, what, three categories on Amazon right now?
	Yeah, immunology, virology, and vaccinations.
	It's currently 352 ranked out of all the millions of books on Amazon, which I'm told is very good because we're competing against Christmas runs of Dr.
	Seuss and other types of books.
	It would be higher if it wasn't Christmas.
	Well, you know, if you can beat green eggs and ham, you're doing great right now.
	But I also want to mention it's available at our site, brighteonbooks.com.
	We have inventory ready to ship.
	Or you can get it at Amazon or Barnes& Noble, you know, bn.com or other booksellers.
	And I think Skyhorse Publishing sells them directly as well.
	So you have a lot of choices.
	And Mike, I want to make a plug for you.
	It's currently not in stock on Amazon.
	So go to Brighteon before you even think about going to Amazon.
	Oh, okay, great.
	Yeah, thank you.
	We do have inventory, varietyonbooks.com.
	We carry your book, we carry Dr.
	Malone's book, we carry Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s book, and a lot of titles from Skyhorse.
	But yeah, thank you for that.
	So let me ask you then...
	In terms of, I want the numbers of excess mortality, and then disability separately, but excess mortality, I believe the last time we spoke, you were talking about one group had something in the 30% range, and another group was perhaps the low 40s percentile of excess mortality.
	What do those numbers look like right now, and what are those groups?
	So last year, in 2021, for the group life policyholders of this country, which are basically those who work for Fortune 500 or mid-sized companies, it's a freebie you get when you sign on with the company.
	You get, you know, your first day on the job, you go to HR, and you sign your health care form, and you pick a plan.
	And then there's also another section, group life, disability, and death.
	And you sign that and you then name a beneficiary should you die.
	And, you know, typically speaking, this group of people are the healthiest amongst us.
	And that was proven in a report by the Society of Actuaries in 2016, where they detailed that the group life folks died about a third the rate of the general U.S. population in any given year.
	And that intuitively makes a whole lot of sense.
	Why would that be the case?
	Well, to get a claim, a death claim, you have to actually be employed at the firm at the time.
	So if you get fired or quit, you get nothing.
	So showing up to work is generally a sign of health, number one.
	Number two, you've got access to some of the best healthcare with some of these plans, and then you tend to be better educated.
	So overall, the health profile of this group historically has always been better than the general population.
	Makes sense.
	When COVID affected everybody, it didn't discriminate.
	It affected the general population more.
	The excess mortality was higher for the general population than the group life folks.
	Well, in 2021, that flipped.
	So the age is 25.
	These are not my numbers.
	This is a society of actuaries.
	This is just claims.
	These are excess claims or excess deaths, whatever you want to call it.
	They experienced 40% excess Okay.
	The general U.S. population at the same time only experienced excess mortality of 32 percent, eight point differential.
	OK.
	And so so if you're not brain dead and if you have the slightest bit of two cells working, critical thinking skills would suggest something changed in 2021.
	And you have to ask yourself, what really changed in 2021 to maybe cause that to happen?
	Well, we know.
	It's a global mass vaccination program and forced mandates.
	And when you dig into the data, just from the Society of Actuaries, there was an event that's plain as day.
	And if we had the chart and you could see it, you would see, you know, they had a heat map.
	And there's red all over the younger age cohort, 25 through 44, which are known as the millennials, experienced about 84% excess claims slash mortality in the third quarter of 2021.
	What do we know happened there, Mike?
	In the summer, large corporations started to mandate vaccines, and then the executive order on September 9th from Joe Biden, any company over 100, And so we know what happened.
	It was an event.
	People that were hesitant were forced basically at gunpoint to either keep your job or get vaccinated.
	And, you know, a lot of people obviously needed their jobs and went along with it if they were being hesitant or lazy or both.
	It didn't matter.
	But that's what happened.
	So that data is undeniable.
	So you have death data suggesting that The employed folks took a bigger hit.
	And then a separate database, which I was highlighting in the beginning of your show, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows exactly the same thing.
	More disabilities in younger folks and the employed rather than the general older retired population in terms of the rate of change in their disability rate.
	You've got to understand the disability rate for younger folks tends to be a lot lower than older folks, which makes sense.
	The rate of change in the disability rates is what we focused on.
	And we've now done an even deeper analysis where we've compared it to what we call the knot in labor force, those people who removed themselves because they didn't want to take the job.
	So they were either fired or they voluntarily removed themselves from the labor force.
	That group had the lowest rate of new disabilities since our starting date of February of 21, about 0.21% rate of new disabilities.
	The employed 16 to 64, about 100 million experienced a 1.18 or 1.2% increase in their disability rate.
	So like 3.1 to 4.2, which is just insane.
	And that translates into about 1.7 million people.
	And when you compare it relative to not in the labor force, so it's a relative comparison to those who walked away from the job.
	That's a 553% difference between the employed and the not-in-labor force.
	Yeah, it's devastating.
	Yeah, that is devastating.
	What I want to do for our listeners, I want to translate these numbers.
	As closely as possible into daily numbers because it's easier for people to grasp.
	And if we start with excess mortality, you're talking about the general population had excess mortality of 32%.
	So if we take the typical number of normal daily deaths in the United States pre-COVID, that would be about 7700 per day.
	And if we add 32% to that, that's about 2460 people.
	Per day, dying, who would otherwise not have died, is what that looks like.
	Does it sound like I'm doing the math correctly on that?
	The math is correct.
	And then within that group, the rate is higher for the subset of those who are working at these Fortune 500 companies.
	Exactly.
	The numbers are smaller, but they're not supposed to die.
	That's the point, right?
	Right.
	But what I want to get from you here, if I may ask, is...
	What's the closest way we can translate the daily number of newly disabled or, let's say, excess disability conditions?
	How many people per day, roughly, are being affected?
	So, if it was 3.2 million, and so we started in February.
	February is 12 months.
	And then March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, 9.
	So let's call that 21 months.
	21 months, okay.
	21 months, and you take 1.7 million, and you could calculate month and then days if you use 30, and that's about the newly disabled every day.
	Okay, great.
	So that's 630 days, and we're going to say 170 million people into, what do I say, 630 days?
	1.7 million people.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Sorry, I was doing the math differently.
	That's just the employed.
	If you want to do the whole population, use 3.2.
	Okay.
	Oh, yeah.
	So 3.2 million people.
	Into 630 days is 5,000 people a day.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	Wow.
	All right.
	So if you add that to the number who have died, excess mortalities of almost 2,500, then we're talking about almost 7,500 people per day taken out of the potential workforce.
	Correct.
	Okay.
	Correct.
	And let's also think about this too.
	So about 3.2 million, conservatively, because if you use the 29, it's 4.
	Let's give the benefit of the doubt.
	3.2 million.
	1.7 million of those are employed people.
	So you can see that is, you know, basically half.
	It's insanity.
	So then we have to look forward and ask, Because the very basis of a civilization is the productive individuals contributing in some way, services or labor or ideas.
	You know how it works.
	And if we are removing 7,500 people per day from that equation, that is not an insignificant number.
	No.
	That's huge.
	Mike, when you read the headlines, you see they talk about the great resignation.
	That's why millennials are lazy and all this nonsense.
	I think the predominant reason for the help wanted signs we are seeing is this.
	You know, supply chains didn't break in 2020.
	They started breaking in 21 and 22.
	There was disruptions.
	But why do we have supply chain breakages?
	Well, yes, we have some global issues, but we have less people to move things around and to show up to work.
	And not only is it the disabled person, You know, if you're taking care of a disabled person, you miss work and you have hours that you miss because you're taking care of that person.
	You have to go home early for an appointment.
	I mean, this is knock-on effects that are just, you know, and it's also probably is leading to somewhat, I mean, obviously money supply That increase led to inflation with some stupid energy policies on purpose.
	But inflation is also wages.
	And when you have less people to do jobs, those left get higher wages, generally speaking.
	Well, that's interesting because there's also demand destruction being caused by how many people are disappearing from the consumer side of this.
	But I want to compare this with you here with previous wars.
	So the Vietnam War, I know it killed roughly 60,000 Americans.
	Do you recall, I mean, do you know, what was the duration of that war?
	That was 12 years.
	12 years.
	And when my partner, Josh Sterling, the former cell site analyst on Wall Street, Working at Sanford Bernstein, we, through March of 2021 and February of 2022, just that little slice, there were 61,000 excess millennials, according to the CDC data, the way we calculated the baseline.
	61,000 millennials just kind of went poof between March of 2021 and February of 2022.
	It's probably higher now, but that's a Vietnam War in 11 months.
	See, that is extraordinary.
	And even based on the numbers that you and I were just talking about here, if you're, you know, in Vietnam, if 60,000 Americans were killed in 12 years, 5,000 a year, but you and I are just talking about 7,500 people killed or disabled per day.
	In other words, in one day, more people removed than an entire year in Vietnam, or at least Americans in Vietnam.
	That is extraordinary.
	Yes.
	And, you know, anecdotally, we're seeing it.
	I mean, I'm sure you're seeing it, too.
	Things are just not getting done as quickly.
	God forbid your car gets dented.
	Good luck getting parts and labor to fix it.
	The new trick is if your car is anywhere close to book value, the insurance company will trash it, take your car, and sell the parts.
	They're not saints in insurance companies.
	This happened in my Audi.
	I got a little fender bender in July, and it's an old one.
	one.
	It's 2011 Audi A6.
	And I loved that car, but I couldn't get it into a body shop because they didn't have enough people working.
	And then there was a parts issue.
	And then there were so many cars backed up, I couldn't even get it towed for an estimate.
	So I had to take photos of it.
	And then it got back to me two months later.
	Finally, my insurance company gave me 10 grand for something that was worth six.
	They're not saints.
	And being the curious person that I am, I asked around and I found out that's what they're doing.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, but there's a bigger question on all of this.
	And I ask you this now, as you're with your investor brain fully engaged, because you are a hedge fund manager, I believe.
	And you know this realm.
	What does this mean in your brain for what's going to happen to corporations and debt and loans?
	I mean, there are big macroeconomic implications from what we're talking about here.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So, there's going to be labor shortages, for sure.
	Corporations are going to struggle to hire help.
	They're going to steal from each other.
	Their margins are going to get squeezed.
	Their stock prices will go lower over time.
	This also has longer-term deflationary effects.
	It's inflationary initially, but as you have demand destruction and people start to make do without normal goods and services, they get used to it.
	We had an epic growth phase globally.
	The last 30 years with globalization and pumping money overseas to China and all this nonsense.
	What we did in the U.S. is basically financialized our country, took all our plants and equipment and put it overseas.
	So our economy for the last 15 years has been a zombie economy catering to the wealthy.
	So, you know, the wealthy would kind of keep people employed, you know, building new homes, services, restaurants.
	That's going to go the other way.
	And I'm looking...
	Well, number one, we've already projected our firm finance technology, the deep, deep recession coming this way in Q1 and Q2. That's in the bag.
	That's baked into the cake.
	And then we have to see how the Fed and the powers that be respond.
	But I'm thinking we're going to see bouts of inflation and deflation, much like the 70s, and lower and lower asset values over time.
	And just general chaos.
	I mean, I've been saying to people, this is a glacial Mad Max.
	It's not going to happen overnight.
	You're not going to wake up one day and it's going to be in the Wall Street Journal, but you're going to notice it over time.
	That's an interesting phrase, Glacial Mad Max.
	I like that.
	Now, you've seen in the last quarter, demand, especially for consumer products and automobiles and so on, has really plummeted.
	And I believe you've spoken about the anticipated layoffs and increased joblessness in the first quarter and second quarter of next year.
	Now, what happens when in response to that, the government decides to keep upping the stimulus to individuals?
	Here's free money to go out and cover costs since you're jobless now.
	I mean, it's beyond a welfare state.
	It becomes a zombie stimulus addict state almost.
	What happens from that point in your view?
	Well, so if demand falls off, people get fired and they decide to do the UBI and just give money to people, which we didn't used to do in the past.
	We had unemployment insurance.
	And then, obviously, the gig was you took unemployment insurance that only lasted a certain amount of time, and then you were expected to go find a job.
	What we're going to do is permanently remove people from the labor force.
	Because some people will like the UBI, unfortunately, because some people are wired.
	They don't have any purpose in life other than sit on their butt, smoke weed, play video games, what have you.
	That'll be...
	There'll be demand destruction, but inflation as well.
	Because when you give free money without any productive output, it's just going to be super inflationary.
	So we're going to see a decrease in goods and services.
	And if they do that, if they do the UBI, it'll be dollars basically printed and given to people.
	There'll be too many dollars chasing too few goods, especially with people not producing goods or services.
	So it's going to become Again, bouts of deflation with hyperinflation.
	It's going to be chaos.
	Now, there's a critical point or a tipping point that can be reached, and we've seen it throughout history in societies, where if a certain percentage of the population is no longer productive, then the complex interdependencies of especially complex societies, just-in-time delivery, long supply chains, and so on, begins to catastrophically fail.
	Are we at risk of something like that, or is it just going to hurt bad for a while, but then we'll recover?
	I don't know.
	I have to see what it looks like at the bottom and what the global response is to the economic downturn, how it unfolds, what policy measures they take.
	Again, it's going to be glacial.
	You know, right now, I'll just give you an anecdote.
	Let's use healthcare as an example.
	You know, most of the healthcare workers had to take the jab and those that didn't left.
	And there's already, you know, the disability numbers and the deaths you and I talked about, there's shortages in staff right now.
	Let's use radiology as a I've gotten a number of radiologists coming into my social media telling me they're seeing labor shortages there.
	You can guess why.
	And so that's backing up the ability to get diagnostic evaluations to doctors.
	So if you go in for your MRI and CAT scan, the doctor would tell you your results within a day or two.
	Now that's taken weeks.
	So this kind of thing is just going to proliferate where It's going to get harder and harder to do things we used to just take for granted.
	And to your point, complex systems break down.
	Again, it's hard to project, but it smacks to me of chaos and going back to local.
	Globalization's done.
	That peak, it's over.
	I think we're at peak wokeism.
	Wokeism won't work when you can't feed your family or feed yourself.
	And, you know, you're arguing with people on Twitter.
	It kind of goes away with the dodo bird.
	And it gets interesting very quickly.
	But I think you just said something really critical that globalization is done.
	I completely agree with you.
	The whole COVID supply chain catastrophe and the forced lockdowns has really exacerbated the collapse of globalization.
	But globalization, as you know, has few redundancies, right?
	It's centralized.
	It's long supply chains.
	It depends on abundance of even energy for shipping.
	It depends on foreign nations like China to not be locked down, but then they have been locked down.
	And by the way, they're experiencing a population A replacement collapse in their own population as well.
	One or two generations down the road, China is going to be like modern-day Japan.
	There's no children around.
	There's no young people around.
	Interestingly enough, one of my partners, Carlos Alegria, wrote a book, Economic Cycles, Debt and Demographics.
	In his book, Second Edition, came out in 2021.
	He said that China coincidentally hit what we call a demographic wall in 2020.
	So they're already in population decline.
	And I just find it interesting that that COVID and the release from the Wuhan lab coincided with that date.
	Yes.
	So you've got to understand, demographics are destiny.
	When you go into a population decline, like what happened with Japan, Japan had a blow-off We're good to go.
	You know, the Japanese don't like to talk about this, but if you weren't already wealthy, it was really hard to get ahead anywhere in Japan.
	I mean, their birth rate's lower.
	Young men can't get married.
	The women don't like them.
	The young men don't seem interested in sex.
	It's bizarre.
	Strange, utopian look into what might be coming our way, and it's already going to start happening in China.
	Well, we covered the mouse utopia experiments from the 1960s.
	That's exactly what happened.
	The mice became completely uninterested in sexual reproduction.
	And they began to show a lot of wokeism types of traits, like women taking on men's roles and men becoming pedophiles or the male mice becoming pedophiles.
	Even in the mouse utopia, that was the Calhoun experiment.
	But, I mean, it's bizarre how similar it is to what's happening today.
	But what I want to ask you next, if you don't mind, is that...
	You know how the military might or the ability of the United States to project power globally with the largest, most effective deep water navy and industrialization and so on is a projection of the ability of the domestic population to engage in productive inventions and labor and to maintain machinery and so on.
	And yet If we can't reproduce, and, you know, infertility is getting far worse following these vaccines, a lot of stillbirths, a lot of spontaneous abortions and so on, and inability to conceive.
	If you don't have a population that can replenish itself, you lose eventually, within a generation or so, the ability to manufacture the munitions even, the weapons of war to project power.
	You know, the industrial military might goes away, does it not?
	Yes.
	And, you know, look, is it no coincidence that we have basically, let's call it what it is, replacement immigration going on right now in the southern border, where Biden and crew are letting people in?
	That's to position the U.S. to at least be better off than China, Japan.
	South Korea has the same issue.
	All of southern Europe does as well.
	Yes.
	It's interesting that there is a replacement migration going on.
	Get rid of the overpriced educated amongst us to bring in this cheap labor debate.
	So their hope is that our birth rates are...
	I mean, if I'm an evil, diabolical, global chess player running the Federal Reserve, that would be part of my plan, I think.
	But again, that's pure speculation on my part.
	Well, no, but I think that's accurate speculation.
	And I think that...
	The powers that be running the United States think in their own minds that they are demographically kind of salvaging the US situation as much as they can.
	I think that's part of their justification.
	That's their justification.
	And of course, they don't care about the social consequences on the road there.
	The social consequences you're bringing in an alien culture, less educated, that hasn't been vetted like we used to do with proper immigration.
	They're going to move into cities and neighborhoods and it's going to be like the gangs in New York, you know, that movie.
	I mean, this has happened before in history with the Irish and the Italians coming.
	And, you know, I think that's what the elite think they're going to do.
	They've done this before.
	They're trying it again.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	They are.
	And I want to run something else past you here.
	Think about the fact that, you know, the demographics.
	Remember the book, I think it was in the 1990s, Ken Dykwald wrote a book called Age Wave.
	You recall that book?
	I don't remember that, but I'm sure you could briefly describe it to me.
	It talked about the demographic, the economic changes based on simple demographics and the baby boomers moving through their ages and what that means for the U.S. economy and housing and investments and corporations and Wall Street and so on.
	So we are at the waning side of a population population.
	You know, a much earlier population boom in America.
	But the fact that our own fertility has fallen off a cliff at the same time now that these vaccines were introduced, causing infertility, excess mortality, and excess disability, it's like two volcanoes going off, dimming the sun.
	Right.
	Right.
	And, you know, Carlos, my partner, in his book, he talked about The real estate crisis happened right when we hit the demographic peak of the baby boomers in their most productive earning years.
	And we literally, as we rolled from 07 to 08 and started to see the decline of that, that's when real estate peaked and crashed.
	Uh-huh.
	And I think a lot of what we've seen in the last 12, 14 years with the monetary supply and solving debt with more debt and the spending by the politicians has been nothing more than kicking the can down the road.
	Nothing changed.
	The great financial crisis never got resolved.
	The fraud in the debt just went on the central bank's balance sheets.
	And we basically, I guess, you know, look, I don't know what the powers that we've been up to, but they've been preparing for a global economic collapse.
	And this was this last 12 years has been them setting the stage to introduce a control system.
	Yeah.
	And now they've pushed it into warp speed.
	Yeah.
	Let me shift gears and ask you a completely different question.
	Well, it's a segue.
	But how is it that people like you and I and our listeners and your readers and fans and so on, we can be so, dare I say, I think we are well informed.
	I think we're inquisitive.
	I think we're rational.
	I think we're projecting based on data.
	How is it that people like us Can be so deeply informed on these issues, and yet we live in a society where governors, lawmakers, presidents, policymakers, regulators are oblivious.
	I mean, just purely oblivious to what's going on.
	Even intelligent people, successful people are oblivious.
	How can we, how does that coexistence happen with such a chasm?
	You know, again, this is my third time seeing this.
	I saw it in the dot-com boom.
	And it's people, unfortunately, a lot of people don't like to move away from the herd or the pack.
	And so if the herd or the pack It's a perception deception.
	They're perceiving that the rules of the game that they grew up with are the same.
	They haven't figured out yet that things are so different that they couldn't even imagine what we see.
	And, you know, when I saw Senator Johnson, Senator Johnson is on this.
	But, you know, I told him, I go, this is a national security crisis.
	Why is this not being talked about in every news channel?
	And I knew my answer.
	It's being suppressed and there's a lot of denial and And inability to, like, literally see the world as it is.
	I mean, the discernment that you and I have, I think, is unique, unfortunately.
	And part of the reason I wrote the book is, and I left out in the book a lot of the, you know, the who and the why, because most people can't accept that.
	But I just wanted to let them know, this is true, it's happening.
	And if you have a better explanation, I'd love to hear, but no one wants to seem to talk about it, especially our global governments and health authorities.
	So I declare at the end of the book, it's a cover-up and a crime at this point.
	And that's all I need to get across to people.
	And if we wake up people, I think we have a shot at turning the tide.
	It's a battle for the marginal mind.
	We're in a race against time because, like you said, I know smart people who disowned me once I started talking about this.
	They're not dumb, but they just don't know how the world really works.
	They don't have the ability to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
	That's why I had a good career on Wall Street.
	Most of my peers are nothing more than glorified news reporters waiting for confirmation from the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times.
	You can't make money doing that.
	And, you know, people like you and Dr.
	Ryan Cole and Steve Bannon, you may not know it, but your stock analysts, you could have done well on Wall Street had you taken that path.
	I mean, because you have what we call critical thinking skills.
	Yeah, well, I'm glad you mentioned that because, yeah, you're right.
	We're all, in essence, stock pickers, but where you get strongly financially rewarded with leverage if you're right or destroyed if you're wrong.
	But On these issues that you and I are talking about here, I've got to say, you've been right, we've been right on so many aspects of this, and we're right with a burden, a burden of realizing what this means, where an oblivious person can just hip-hop, happy-go-lucky through this whole thing.
	Nothing matters, it's fine, but it's not, actually.
	So there's a spiritual burden, almost, of having a sense of knowing what's going on.
	Well, let me comment on that.
	So, you and I I have a moral obligation to try to wake these people up.
	But the longer they stay asleep and don't realize the trends, the asymmetric information has to be used by us at some point.
	So that's why I'm starting my hedge fund.
	And you are doing what you're doing to create a whole new system.
	And there's going to be tremendous opportunities, Mike.
	Even in the Great Depression, people who kept their heads and saw the new trends emerging became fabulously wealthy for their families and friends.
	I'm not in this game to get wealthy, but I want to survive.
	One of the trends that you and I just talked about is globalization is done and local is the new way.
	The new economy is starting.
	If you can get into it, get involved, ignore all the hate you're going to get for it, you're going to be well positioned to take advantage of the chaos and survive.
	At some point, survival becomes a big part of this.
	I look at this as an awful tragedy.
	That's why we put all our data on the Humanity Project for everyone to see.
	Eventually, we're going to get APIs so people can download everything.
	They can download some of it now.
	And our goal is to stop this, but in the absence of that, we have to take advantage of it and move forward and care for those of us who know what's going on in our families.
	It's kind of a small club.
	I hope the club gets bigger, but if it doesn't, then too bad.
	Well, I agree with you.
	I think the club at some point Either people join the club or they don't make it.
	They don't make it, no.
	When you talk about the local, you know, the collapse of globalism and how this resorts to a local economy, you know, we can reasonably project what that means for consumerism.
	For example, appliances that would be purchased by people would no longer, they wouldn't have a disposable mindset where you buy something and throw it away.
	So it would mean domestically made, higher quality, long-lasting appliances or shoes or gear or anything that could be repaired.
	And so you have a whole new local economy of repair people, for example.
	Absolutely.
	And in the tribe I'm forming on Maui, I have carpenters and mechanics.
	You've got to have people that know how to do stuff.
	Right.
	I'm a numbers guy.
	I'm a Wall Street guy.
	My ability to fix my car is zero, but I know people who can, and we're all going to form this, in the absence of a currency, barter system.
	We're going to figure it out, and we're all going to get each other's backs.
	There will be a new renaissance based on local human connections.
	The powers that be are openly talking about transhumanism and plugging into the Borg system, and I'm not doing that.
	And I think that most people that plug into it won't make it.
	I think most of those people are going to end up dying.
	And those of us who stay outside the system and form our own new world are going to be much healthier, happier, and, you know, Living vibrantly with less stuff.
	Be prepared for less stuff and your lifestyle is going to change.
	If you care about stuff, forget about it.
	Move on.
	Stuff's going to be a lot more expensive, more difficult to acquire.
	But I love how you're talking about really a parallel transactional economy because I completely agree with you.
	Central bank digital currencies appear to be getting rolled out at least at the pilot stage next year.
	In the United States and the UK and other countries, it's already being pushed aggressively in Nigeria, for example.
	But do you think that there will be successful parallel off-grid or decentralized currency type of systems?
	And what might that look like?
	Or have you done much pondering of that topic?
	Well, before I met Carlos and Yuri, Carlos and Yuri were working on a crypto project, not to speculate and get fabulously wealthy.
	They like the blockchain technology.
	They think Bitcoin, because of its open source, while good is also bad because governments can look at what you're doing.
	We're looking at creating a transactional crypto that's got privacy to it.
	Now, that will mean black market and nefarious activities, but that's part of the cost of liberty.
	And we're, you know, we want to be able to, and so part of the reason we're doing the hedge fund is not just to make money, it's to take those profits and do new projects like new holistic medicine situations like the FLCC, contribute to like our favorite charities, the Humanity Project will become nonprofit, invest in political movements and invest in Just anything and everything that is going to create a new economy and the crypto project will get funded at some point.
	That's on the back burner.
	We're basically using the current system as it stands to leverage into the new one, if that makes sense.
	Well, yeah, it does.
	And look, I've looked into, at some level, the crypto technology and the zero-knowledge tech.
	And I don't own any of this coin, so I'm not plugging it, folks.
	But Monero...
	In my assessment, it has the best technology for zero knowledge because it's got encryption rings.
	Well, so that's what Carlos is looking at as well.
	Really?
	Yeah, Monero's the one we're looking at.
	Wow, okay.
	All right.
	Look, I did a lot of assessment.
	I talked to a lot of people.
	And that's the one that I arrived at.
	But of course, it's not very liquid because relatively few people are using it.
	It's more computational intensive because of the zero-knowledge aspects of it.
	But man, it's got everything that you would want in a privacy cryptocurrency.
	Everything.
	Correct.
	So that's a project we hope to fund down the road once we get up and running.
	And there's going to be transition.
	And we're going to be going from...
	Dollars to central bank digital currencies to an alternative system that will emerge.
	Whether it's me, you, it will emerge.
	There's always a resistance.
	And whether we're the players on the field or someone else, there'll be something.
	Yeah, 100%.
	Well, please keep us posted.
	We really appreciate you, Ed.
	I mean, what you're doing for the world is so critical, and you're doing it with such proficiency that you're really a gift to this world.
	So thank you for everything that you're doing.
	And I want to mention your book, Cause Unknown, and your website, theyliedpeopledied.com.
	Is there anything else you want to mention here before we wrap this up?
	No.
	You know, I just also want to give a shout out to you.
	I mean, I've been following you for years and Alex Jones and all the independent media.
	I don't call them alternative anymore.
	They're independent.
	And, you know, part of my worldview was formed by, you know, listening to guys like you had pieces of the puzzle.
	Like, we're not always right, but we're directionally right.
	And we've gotten some things wrong, but we know what's going on.
	And I want to give a shout out to you and others who, like, helped people kind of piece it together.
	I mean, my...
	Ability to do what I've done would not have happened had I not been informed by guys like you and Alex and others.
	Wow.
	Well, thank you for that.
	I mean, we're all trying to do the same thing here, which is to let humanity see what's coming.
	And you're right.
	We're not always correct.
	Sometimes we look a little too far ahead, or we don't anticipate completely how efficiently governments can delay financial catastrophes or currency collapses.
	But, like you said, we're directionally correct, and we have the right motivation.
	We're working in good faith.
	We're trying to help our fellow human beings.
	Exactly.
	It's all about team humanity.
	If you try to peg me as a Democrat or a Republican, not you, but if people try to, they won't be able to because I could care less about either party at this point.
	Yeah.
	I'm right there with you.
	I'm not a party person either.
	I'm a humanity person.
	And whatever that looks like is what I'm on board with.
	Yeah.
	Keep us posted, and thank you for all your time.
	And for everybody listening here, again, Cause Unknown is the book.
	It's at brighteonbooks.com, as well as Amazon, Barnes& Noble, other places.
	And then also check out Ed Dowd's website, theyliedpeopledied.com.
	And you can also repost this interview on other channels or other platforms.
	You have our permission.
	Oh, one other thing, Mike.
	I got reinstated on Twitter today, so I'm back with a vengeance.
	Oh my, okay.
	But look, the book is primarily designed, you'll like it.
	If you're in the red meat crowd, you'll like it.
	It's a great book.
	But we kept out the who and the why to protect people's worldview.
	But this book can be handed to a family member that thinks you're crazy and then say, hey, this is what What a Wall Street guy says it looks like.
	And he's raising a hedge fund to take advantage of what he sees as reality.
	You can continue to think we're crazy, but good luck.
	That's kind of the message.
	We want to wake people up.
	And any way it jolts them, I'm using my Wall Street pedigree to wake people up.
	Well, you're doing it very effectively.
	So yeah, great point.
	Yeah, you can get this book, folks, and hand it to others and encourage them, or maybe mark a page or two.
	Show them a chart and pique their interest in it.
	So stand by, Ed.
	Don't hang up quite yet, but thank you again for your time.
	It's been an honor speaking with you.
	Love your work.
	I also really enjoy talking to high IQ people.
	So you're one of the best.
	Thank you so much.
	Thanks, Mike.
	Take care.
	All right, you too.
	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.
