All right.
Happy Friday, folks.
Welcome to the Situation Update for Friday, January 6th.
Oh!
Oh, it's January 6th.
Yes, the January 6th.
Here we are two years later.
I mean, why do we have political prisoners still rotting in filthy jails in D.C.? We need to say a prayer for those folks today, and we need to be part of the fundraising for their legal defense, and we need to push the United States Congress, especially the House, which is in chaos, as you know.
We'll talk about it in a second.
But we've got to push the House to demand the release of those political prisoners, the J-6 prisoners, who have still not been offered, you know, A speedy trial.
I mean, this is insane.
This is the kind of stuff that happens in evil dictatorships just to keep people locked up because of their political beliefs.
Non-violent protesters who are very different from the very violent left-wing Antifa and Black Lives Matter groups.
So keep these J6 people in your prayers today, and let's push for a new functioning House of Representatives to try to get freedom for these people.
Of course, you know that Kevin McCarthy, and by the way, let me interrupt myself.
This podcast today is very positive.
What you're about to hear is incredibly positive.
There are some really divine things, I believe, happening this year, some of which I'm becoming aware of.
And I want to share a few hints and threads with you on that later today.
So overall, I want to tell you, I'm feeling a real sense of inspiration and hope for our future.
And we'll get to that here in a second.
But what I want to mention first may sound a little doom and gloom, which is just involving the Speaker of the House election.
It looks like Kevin McCarthy, who I believe to be a rhino, he has now failed to be elected Speaker of the House after 11 votes is what it looks like.
11 votes.
Votes were taken.
I mean, 11 voting sessions.
And he, of course, was not elected in any of those 11 voting sessions.
But Matt Gaetz stood up and nominated Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the House.
And I kind of like that idea.
I'd love to see Donald J. Trump as Speaker of the House for so many reasons.
Number one being that it would cause so many left-wing heads to explode all across America.
Like, what?
No!
I just want to see that moment.
And for Trump to get up there with the gavel, slam the gavel, I'm back!
You know?
Oh my God!
That would be amazing.
Now, for the record, I do not expect Donald J. Trump to actually be elected Speaker of the House.
I don't think he has the number of required votes.
However, big thumbs up to Congressman Matt Gaetz for nominating him.
But we don't want Kevin McCarthy.
And what's weird is that...
Well, Trump has endorsed Kevin McCarthy.
And what's going on with these rhinos like Dan Crenshaw, who looks like the return of the beast of John McCain or something?
It's like, really?
How did you become a rhino so quickly?
Didn't you just get there recently?
How did these people turn against America so quickly?
We don't want Kevin McCarthy...
Frankly, I want Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House.
I'd be happy with that.
Or someone like Matt Gaetz, frankly.
There are plenty of good members of Congress to choose from.
Kevin McCarthy is not one of them.
He will fold like a cheap suit the minute the Democrats pressure him on anything.
So buckle up for a long political chaos season here, because this could go to, you know, 20 voting sessions, 50 voting sessions.
How about, let's just do it 100 times, just to make a total clown show out of the GOP rhinos, frankly.
It's like, hey, maybe you should bow out, Kevin McCarthy.
You don't have the votes.
Let's find somebody who actually represents America instead of the special interests.
How about that?
Okay, moving on, some positive news about football player Damar Hamlin.
He is not only alive, he is apparently awake, aware, conscious.
He was asking doctors, at least this is what's being reported, did we win the game?
And they told him, yes, you won the game of life because you're not dead, man.
You are here.
You're back.
Of course, we never know what's true coming out of the media, right?
Maybe this is a made-up story.
I hope it isn't.
I hope that Hamlin is okay.
You know, I don't want to see anybody hurt by the vaccines or the clots or professional sports or what have you.
But the word is that Hamlin is not brain dead as was feared by many analysts who thought that his brain did not have oxygen for the nine minutes of CPR. But apparently whoever was giving him CPR It seems like they did it correctly because if you're doing CPR correctly, then you are circulating some amount of blood to the brain, you know, enough to prevent total oxygen deprivation.
So I say that, you know, who deserves some kind of award from the NFL are the paramedics who gave this guy CPR for nine minutes because they saved his life for sure.
And you know, there's another lesson in all of this.
No matter what your obstacle, I mean, if you think somebody's dead and you're doing CPR on them, you know, you're pumping the chest, you're breathing into their mouth, you're doing everything required, don't give up after two minutes or three minutes or five minutes or seven minutes.
Because saving a person's life may require 9 minutes of CPR or 10 minutes or 12 or 20.
You don't know what it's going to take in your life to overcome an obstacle.
Keep working towards a solution.
Overcome obstacles no matter what it takes.
Don't give in just because, oh, you gave it a shot and, ah, it didn't work.
No.
Sometimes you've got to stick with it.
And by the way, if DeMar Hamlin makes it through all this, and he's okay, he won't need the NFL. He'll have a career as a speaker, as an inspirational speaker, a leader, a walking, living example of real miracles in your life.
And I don't know if he's a man of God.
I hope he is.
But if he's a man of God, you know, do you need any more proof?
That God has reached out and touched this man and prevented him from expiring prematurely?
I mean, wow.
This guy is going to be an inspirational speaker if he pulls through.
And I hope he does pull through.
Okay, on to economic news.
Do you recall me predicting over the last several months that first quarter of this year you would see massive big tech layoffs?
Remember that?
Yep, it said it was going to start right after New Year.
And here we go.
Amazon to cut 18,000 jobs.
18,000 jobs.
And it said it's going to cut even more jobs later this year.
Salesforce told employees...
Just on Wednesday, it's going to cut 10% of its staff.
And that's on top of hundreds of job cuts that it made last year.
Vimeo, which is all about censorship and woke nonsense, by the way.
Vimeo is run by fascist anti-free speech lunatics as far as I'm concerned.
They're cutting 11% of their jobs.
And that's on top of a 6% workforce reduction from last year.
And the examples go on and on.
So big tech is cutting jobs like crazy.
Now, there's something really interesting happening in this country that I want to share with you that is on the positive side, and we'll develop this more later in the podcast, but One of the reasons that conventional big tech companies are laying off so many people, including Meta and Snap and even, of course, Twitter after the acquisition and so on.
But one of the main reasons is because people are shifting to the parallel economy.
There is a pro-liberty parallel economy that is rising up in this country.
That's actually the main thrust of today's podcast.
A pro-liberty, pro-America, pro-human parallel economy with e-commerce platforms, networks, and hubs, and free speech platforms like Brighteon.com that you may be listening to right now.
Or Truth Social and Gab and Parler and Getter and so many other things.
Alternative merchant account processors, for example.
But what we're going to see this year And then accelerating for many years to come is this massive shift of about half the country off of these fascist-run, left-wing, CIA-infiltrated, communist tech platforms, including Amazon.
People are going to deliberately shift away from Amazon, and they're going to seek out...
E-commerce, online shopping experiences, and platforms that are run by people who share their morals and their philosophical viewpoints.
We are about to see the bifurcation of the economy based on philosophical viewpoints.
That's what's happening.
So that's why big tech is laying off, but alternative tech or parallel economy companies are hiring like crazy.
They're getting venture capital.
They're getting funding.
They're building systems.
They're signing up people.
They're about to launch.
I know several that are about to launch in the next few months that are going to be game changers.
And Even though I don't own any stock right now and I don't have any call options or put options on Amazon, but if I wanted to make a lot of money on that, my pick right now would be to bet against Amazon for the next five years.
I think Amazon is going to shrink and shrink and shrink.
And I think they're going to offload warehouses, square footage, and employees.
They're going to start shedding infrastructure like crazy.
And then there are these other parallel economy platforms that are going to expand like crazy.
And they're going to be more decentralized, more local, smaller scale, and philosophically aligned with the way that people like you and I think, which is simply a pro-human philosophy.
We are here to serve humanity, and we want to see humanity survive all of this.
We're not here to dominate humanity or to enslave humanity or to surveil humanity.
We just want to be one of the people living in a society of freedom and privacy and free interactions and the right to contract and the right to speak and the right to exercise religion and the right to self-defense and all these basic rights, i.e.
the Bill of Rights.
This is all we want.
So anyway, this is something major.
I'll talk about it more here in a little bit.
But Amazon laying off 18,000 people.
Now, you can bet as soon as they figure out these warehouse robot systems that they're working on quite diligently, they're going to lay off more like 180,000 people whenever that day comes, and it might not be that far away.
But in addition to the Amazon layoffs of 18,000 people, we also have Bed Bath& Beyond.
Now warning that it's going to or may go bankrupt.
Oops, oops.
Fewer shoppers and declining sales as the retailer has struggled to find its footing in recent years, reports NPR. Through a series of poorly timed or otherwise lackluster turnaround strategies.
Oh, really?
Turnaround strategies?
Was one of the strategies to deplatform Mike Lindell and his pillows from the Bed, Bath& Beyond stores?
Because that was such a stupid maneuver.
I think that the change should be named Bed, Bath& Beyond stupid, frankly.
I mean, why would you pull...
Pillows and blankets and sheets from your store that's called Bed Bath& Beyond.
If you don't sell stuff for the bed and the bath and beyond, then you're not Bed Bath& Beyond.
And I mean, what were they trying to say?
Oh, we don't like Mike Lindell's politics and therefore we're going to pull his products.
Well, guess what?
Now you're going bankrupt.
So get woke, go broke, suckers.
You know, Mike Lindell's still doing fine.
You guys at Bed Bath& Beyond, you CEOs and COOs and we see right through you O's, you people are morons.
And you're going to be unemployed.
So you did it to yourself.
You did it to yourself.
Guess what?
There's a whole new parallel economy that's about to explode that's going to sell Mike Lindell's pillows and all kinds of other pillows and organic pillows too and organic sheets and whatever.
And that is going to explode.
But Bed Bath& Beyond has missed the bus on all of that because of their short-sightedness and their woke-ism.
Oh, and if you're wondering how bad it is, their sales declined for the most recent quarter, declined year over year by 33%.
33%.
And they forecast that their losses would increase by 40% to $385 million.
They're losing $385 million a quarter.
Do you have any idea?
I mean, how do you lose that much money in a quarter?
That's over $100 million a month that they're losing.
So, by the way, in their own statement, here's how the company described its own future.
It said that they have, quote, concluded that there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Like, what?
Why do you have to speak in code?
Basically, you're saying you're broke and you can't go on.
So, the stock price dropped 20%.
Right after that statement.
Doubt of the company's ability to continue.
Okay, we understand what that means.
It's over.
Bed, bath, and way beyond financial viability.
Now, in other financial news that's very interesting, there was a bankruptcy decision in the Celsius network.
That's a cryptocurrency network that declared bankruptcy not long ago.
And the judge issued a decision this week concluding that the remaining deposits that were in Celsius' so-called earn accounts, that those deposits of coins, you know, crypto coins,
Ethereum and Bitcoin and so on, those deposits do not belong to the users of We're good to go.
600,000 investors, so to speak, in its EARN program.
This is reported by Axios and many others.
When it filed for Chapter 11, and they held $4.2 billion in assets in mid-2022, they had stablecoins that were at about $20 million.
But the judge wrote the following, and you should listen carefully if you own any crypto assets whatsoever on any kind of an online exchange.
Quote,"...the court finds that there was a valid contract between Celsius account holders and Celsius, and that the contract terms unambiguously transferred all right and title of digital assets to Celsius." In other words, you agreed to some terms of service, which is a contract, and in the terms of service, you agreed that you handed over your coins to Celsius, and they are Celsius' coins, and that basically there's nothing you can do about it.
They just owe you.
So this decision is going to have quite an effect, I think, on a lot of other platforms that are either in the process of declaring bankruptcy or are already gone, you know, like FTX, for example.
It looks like most end users are not going to get their money back from any of these things, or very little of their money back.
Because once you spend fiat to buy crypto and then you hand your crypto over to somebody else, you don't own new crypto.
You're living in a fantasy land at that point.
You know, even the experienced crypto users say, not your keys, not your coins, right?
So if you don't control it, you don't own it.
But what I find interesting is the same thing is also true in the physical world and also with dollars.
So you deposit your dollars in a bank.
Do you own those dollars now?
No!
No!
The bank owns them.
And see, this is not being widely reported by the press either.
They're acting like this is something totally unique to crypto.
It isn't.
You deposit dollars in a bank, you become a creditor of the bank.
Those dollars belong to the bank.
At that point, they simply owe you the dollars.
Are you going to get the dollars back?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Oh, well, it's FDIC insured.
Okay, great.
Well, how much cash does the FDIC keep around to cover all the deposits?
And the answer to that is they barely keep more than about 1% We're good to go.
And then a whole bunch of banks go bankrupt, like, you know, the big short subprime mortgage collapse 2008, or maybe something bigger about to happen, you know, the great global financial reset, the currency collapse, the debt collapse, whatever you want to call it.
What if all the banks go belly up at the same time?
Is the FDIC going to bail you out?
Not a chance.
Not a chance.
You're toast.
So your crypto isn't yours if you hand it over to somebody.
Your dollars aren't yours if you hand it over to somebody else, too.
And I say even on gold and silver...
You should have it in your possession if you possibly can.
I know that it's not possible for everybody.
Some people maybe aren't capable of defending their own apartment or something with stash gold, and maybe they feel safer in a secured, audited, guarded vault somewhere else.
I understand that, but...
For those who can, having physical possession, I think is always, it should be the ideal goal.
Or as Steve Quill says, if you can't touch it, you don't own it, right?
Well, certainly with crypto, that has been proven true yet again.
Now, remember when I said a few days ago that 2023 would be the year of contraction?
And then yesterday I said it's the year of expansion of consciousness, but it's a contraction of things like population, wealth, supply chains, globalization, energy, food, and so on.
Here's a story that blows my mind that confirms what I said about contraction.
Here it is from The Guardian.
Japanese government offers families 1 million yen per child to leave Tokyo.
Now, That's not a typo.
The government is boosting incentives to lure people to, quote, unfashionable regional areas hit by aging and shrinking populations.
Remember when I said, I don't know if it was in an interview, I think, that Japan has a demographic, you know, implosion problem.
Young Japanese people are not reproducing at anywhere close to the level needed to sustain a stable population or to support the aging population.
Basically, young people in Japan have largely decided to not get married, to not engage even in any interest in sex, to not have children.
And I even compared it to the Calhoun mouse utopia experiments where at a certain point when the population became really dense, even though food was free and freely available and so on, that the mice lost interest in sexual reproduction completely.
There was something about the really dense population that just ultimately turned people off from each other or mice in that case.
But in Tokyo, it's high density living and many people are losing all interest in families and reproduction.
So they're having a collapse of demographics.
A similar thing is happening in China, a few years lagging behind Japan, by the way, but China is not reproducing at a level necessary to sustain its population either.
So China is looking at a demographic population collapse that will also reveal an economic collapse if it is not reversed.
So the Japanese government's offering a million yen, which is about $7,500 per child to move out of greater Tokyo.
It's like, get out of here.
We'll pay you.
For every kid you have, we'll pay you.
It's like, man...
How ugly do your kids have to be for the government to pay you to take them out of the city?
Like, that kid's so ugly, you should give me 10 grand.
That's a joke, folks, obviously.
And I'm not saying that Japanese babies are ugly.
They're not, actually.
Japanese babies are really kind of cute, frankly.
All the Asian babies are really cute.
But you want to see some ugly babies, look at the babies of leftists.
It's like, what did you do to that child?
Did you mutilate it already?
Geez.
That's American leftists, you know?
Anyway, moving on.
The Japanese government used to pay people 300,000 yen, which is like a little over, what, two grand.
But apparently there wasn't enough, so they raised it to a million yen.
Like, we really need you to leave!
It's part of an official push to breathe life into declining towns and villages.
So Tokyo's population fell for the first time last year.
First time ever.
Policymakers believe that more people should live in unfashionable parts of the country that have been hit by aging and shrinking populations.
Unfashionable meaning more rural areas, I guess.
But what's amazing in all this is the radical demographic changes that are happening globally and how governments are desperately trying to keep their demographics viable so that they don't suffer economic collapse due to the lack of a replenishment of working age people.
Now, in the United States, as you well know, The powers that be are allowing illegal immigration to bring in a lot of new workers as replacement workers to replace Americans who they're killing with vaccines.
But in Japan, obviously, they don't have an open border because it's an island nation, pretty easy to control illegal immigration there.
And also, Japanese culture is not typically open to a lot of multicultural type of influx events.
know, in Japan, you're either Japanese or you're forever a foreigner, unlike America, which is more of a melting pot, right?
So Japan is having this collapse.
And what I think is funny is they're trying to make rural life seem really cool now.
So from the story, it says that Japan's hollowed out towns and villages have highlighted the charms of rural life.
The charms...
Love it.
Easy access to childcare, and in this one village, the availability of eligible men, apparently, is what's going on there.
That's the Otari village in the Nagano area.
Prefecture.
The availability of eligible men.
So they're either going to attract young eligible women or a whole lot of gay men moving to the Otari village, which would make them, of course, the Otari village people.
Yeah, I know that joke was too obvious.
Can you imagine the Japanese leaders in Tokyo like, we wanted them to reproduce and all we did is created all these gay villages.
Oops, unintended consequences.
Gate villages don't have kids.
So anyway, Japan and China and a lot of other countries, of course, are already on the depopulation bandwagon.
And speaking of depopulation, there's a shocking story out of the Gateway Pundit.
Massachusetts State Police released a statement following the sudden death of three officers within four days.
So there's three officers that are not that old.
One of them's 25, the other one's 48, another one's 42.
Not even 50.
All three died within four days in December, and the police department is trying to figure out, like, what's going on?
Why did they die?
They weren't, you know, shot or involved in accidents or anything.
They just died, you know, just killed over dead.
It says one of them died from a brain aneurysm.
Yeah, well, what caused the brain aneurysm?
One user commented on this after the Massachusetts State Police tweeted out these deaths.
One user said, hey, when will they address the elephant in the room here?
My heart breaks for their families.
Yeah, well, the elephant in the room is, of course, vaccines.
So, still, to this day, people are just keeling over dead in highly unusual numbers that are inexplicable, except if you understand vaccines.
And, I mean, so-called vaccines, the mRNA, COVID-19, cellular hijacking, spike protein factory, jabs.
Yes, of course people are dying and they're going to keep dying.
As I mentioned yesterday, the more you get infected with COVID, the more your immune system is destroyed if you have been jabbed and boosted.
And you can bet that in Massachusetts, you have to be jabbed and boosted to be a police officer.
So at some point, I wonder if even Democrats will figure out That they're killing themselves.
Or they're killing their own first responders.
You know, they're killing their firefighters, too.
And their police.
And their doctors.
And nurses.
And so on.
It's like, when are you going to see that you're the murderers?
You know, you vaccine pushers.
When are they going to see that?
Huh?
Maybe never for some of them.
Now, just to make sure that they're efficiently mass murdering people in the healthcare system in the UK, there is a new proposal that nurses in the UK, under the NHS, there's a proposal that nurses should all wear body cameras.
Right.
You know, like cops wear body cameras so that when they shoot a perp, then the whole world can see what that was.
Oh, it was a justified shooting.
Sure enough, he was attacking you with a battle axe or whatever.
We've all seen some of those videos.
Do you want your nurse in the hospital to wear a body cam?
When your nurse, whether a he or a she, when they're washing your rear end or putting a catheter in your private parts, I mean, it's an invasion of privacy just to wear one of those hospital gowns, is it not?
And why do they leave the back open where your ass is hanging out all the time?
This is just a string back there.
Is this like a thong parade in the hospital?
What's going on?
And now they want to have body cams?
I mean, how long would it take before those videos end up all over TikTok, right?
Oh, look at this patient, man!
I mean, this is a nightmare in the making.
One more reason not to go to hospitals.
They start videotaping all your interactions with nurses.
My goodness, are you kidding me?
I mean, can you imagine some of this?
Oh, how are you doing today, Mr.
Patient?
Oh, well, you know, nurse, the hospital bed sheets rubbed my nipples raw and I can't urinate.
Oh, oh, you're recording.
I see.
Well, thank God my hair looks so perfect after being here in the hospital.
What else would you like to know?
Anyway, apparently there was a trial of all this at Oxford, and it found that, quote, nurses feel safer when they have body cams.
This is from reclaimthenet.org, by the way, a story on this.
Because apparently some patients are getting unruly and attacking the nurses.
So the nurses feel like, well, you know, we've got to have body cams so that we feel safe from the violence of the patients.
I'm thinking, hey, you know what might be a better solution?
Maybe you stop murdering your patients in the hospitals with the mRNA injections and the ventilators and the remdesivir and the toxic pharmaceuticals and the mind-altering drugs.
And, you know, stop pumping people full of addictive painkillers and psychotropic mind-altering molecules.
And maybe you wouldn't have crazy people attacking you all day, huh?
You know, stop murdering others and they might hate you less.
How about that?
We don't need body cams.
We need a sense of humanity in the hospitals.
That's what we need.
But don't they already have enough cams?
Even, you know, up your rectum and inside you, like colonoscopy cams.
They're already taking video of you from the inside.
You know, just thank goodness no one can attribute that to your face.
Or that'll be all over TikTok.
You know, if you think about it, You're probably more comfortable with a doctor taking a video of the inside of your rectum than the outside of your body because nobody knows that that's what you look like on the inside, right?
I mean, realistically here, but I don't want the cameras anywhere.
I don't want them in my body.
I don't want them out of my body.
I don't want them in the room.
This is why I don't go to hospitals.
Actually, that's not the only reason, but it's another good reason.
Seems like patients should wear body cams so that they and their attorneys can later review the standard of care that was given, right?
Wouldn't that be more justified, patient body cams?
Like, we're going to log everything here, doctor.
We're going to log it all.
So whatever you do, whatever you say, it better be in my best interest.
So what were you saying again?
Say that again.
Speak into the camera.
I wonder how well that would work.
Maybe everybody's going to wear body cams soon.
Like, just all the time.
Everybody's wearing a camera.
Everything's logged.
Oh, boy.
Wouldn't that be fun as the whole world becomes Project Veritas?
Like, everything everybody ever said on camera, boom, released by James O'Keefe.
Unlimited episodes of shocking, horrifying statements that people thought were private.
You don't want to hear what I say in private, by the way.
Or at least I don't want you to hear what I say in private because it would just make me look like such a sissy.
It's pretty much embarrassing baby talk to my dogs.
Oh, you got a little itchy behind your ear.
You know?
And they're like hugging all over me and trying to put more body weight on my torso, rolling on me.
I'm like, ah, I can barely breathe.
I have some big dogs that think they're really tiny and they like to cuddle and it's like, oh my gosh.
Wake up in the morning, they've taken over the whole couch, laying out with the pillows and everything.
It's like, this is mine!
I discovered this in the night.
Now it's mine.
I claimed it.
You find yourself another piece of furniture there, Mr.
Health Ranger.
And while you're at it, feed me!
You know?
That kind of thing.
Alright, to change the subject, here's another interesting piece of news.
From Remix News, Croatians shocked by soaring prices after adopting euro currency.
Hmm.
Croatian media assessed that the government should have anticipated a price increase and been prepared for it, but of course they were not.
Hmm.
So it's like, hey Croatia, welcome to the Eurozone.
Get ready to pay more for everything, which is what's happening.
So Croatian Prime Minister Andrzej Plenković He's holding a meeting with representatives of the National Inspectorate and Revenue Agency, and they're trying to find out why retailers have all increased prices of everything, including groceries, bread, coffee, cigarettes, necessities like toilet paper, and everything else.
Prices have gone up 10 to 20 percent.
Boom.
All of a sudden, because they joined the Eurozone.
Well, what did you expect when you become a member of a communist slash fascist centralized organization?
You know, what would be another descriptive word?
A bunch of liars and cheaters and tyrants and bureaucrats.
Of course everything's going to get more expensive.
What, did you think that the EU was a discount club?
Oh, like Sam's Club?
No, you pay more.
Don't you get it?
Because you've got to pay for the EU bureaucrats and their inflated salaries and their sense of entitlement and all that.
Yeah, of course you're going to pay more.
40% of Croatians were opposed to adopting the euro as a currency.
60% apparently approved it.
Turns out the 60% were wrong.
The 40% were correct.
All right, now moving into the realm of astrophysics and planetary sciences.
My interview yesterday, which gave me an incredible thrill, in case you haven't heard it, check it out.
I was interviewing Dr. Malcolm LeCompte, and I was donating essentially lab analysis or instrument time for the analysis of artifacts of ancient comet impacts or meteorite impacts that have unleashed, you know, cataclysms and I was donating essentially lab analysis or instrument time for the analysis That have unleashed, you know, cataclysms across planet Earth.
And as I was looking at some of the news about that that's been published over the last few years, I found a really interesting story that's, it's just mind-blowing.
This was from space.com, but we're also going to cover it on naturalnews.com.
Here's the title.
This yellow Egyptian glass was forged by a meteorite impact 29 million years ago, and it was incorporated into a piece of elaborate jewelry, an artifact called a pectoral that was found in King Tut's tomb.
So this is made from, quote, Libyan desert glass.
And that's what makes up the scarab beetle at the center.
Now, the scarab beetle has specific mythological implications in ancient Egyptian mythology and belief systems and so on.
And this Libyan desert glass, this is like actual melted sand that was melted by, you know, a meteor impact.
And they believe that this specific impact that created this glass happened 29 million years ago.
At least that's what the, you know, the mainstream archaeologists date it as being.
But in King Tut's time, the Egyptians believed that desert glass had celestial origins, which it does, it turns out.
It's like, oh, this glass came from the sky, so it came from heaven, it came from the gods.
Well, in essence, it did come from the skies.
It did come from the heavens, so to speak, the cosmos.
You know, giant rocks at hypervelocity impacting with the desert.
Boom, you get glass.
Well, it also takes a tremendous amount of heat to melt sand into glass, by the way.
One of the geologists that was behind the study mentioned in this article, Aaron Cavosi, a geologist at Curtin University in Australia, said that, quote, both meteorite impacts and airbursts So finding evidence of former redite confirms it was created as a result of a meteorite impact.
Well, so you can imagine the ancient civilizations, they did not have a...
A way to create glass on their own.
But if they walk around enough, they're going to find glass.
And you can imagine they would have thought, whoa, this is some crazy, special, magical stuff.
It's like, you know, yellow glass.
It's semi-transparent.
Looks kind of like a crystal.
What's it doing here on the desert floor?
And also, what is this giant hole in the ground?
Or, you know, crater.
What's this 100 meter wide crater doing here?
With all this glass all over the place.
Well, so they had explanations and stories of what happened, but bottom line is, this has been going on forever, as long as Earth has been here, as long as there's been things flying around in outer space, which is all the time.
So as I mentioned yesterday, we're donating our lab time at CWC Labs, which is my ISO accredited laboratory.
We're going to be donating microscopy time and ICP-MS mass spec analysis time to look at samples.
That have been recovered from a layer of sediment across multiple continents by the younger Dryas impact researchers.
So they've taken drill core samples from all over the world and they have Sorted out these microspherials and these glass melt specimens.
And some of these are going to be sent to my lab for us to take really incredible photos of.
And I'm actually really good with microscopy photos.
I mean, I got to give credit to the microscope, obviously, but there are techniques for this.
And You can get certain angles.
You have to use certain side lighting and polarization of light.
And I've learned some techniques over the years because I've done a lot of different, you know, microscopy analysis types of things with this.
And I think I'm going to get some...
Crazy, shocking, just visually stunning microscopy photographs of some of these artifacts of the same kind of melt glass that was used on King Tut's artifacts, essentially.
The same kind of process.
So this is amazing.
I mean, this touches on geology.
It touches on history and ancient civilizations.
It touches on, you know, planetary-scale survival and prepping, you know, planetary defense against future impact events.
And all of this intersects with really fun science.
I love to work on science that has a lot of strong visual elements because it's easy to share information On the internet, you know, it's a visual medium so people can see, whoa, what is that?
You know, look at this photo.
That's crazy.
What is that again?
How was that formed?
Okay, now we're talking.
Talking about comet impacts, talking about ancient civilizations being destroyed and humanity rising out of the dust of collapse and so many other important things.
So the samples are being sent.
We're going to be doing this in conjunction with several research scientists.
They will do the analysis.
I'm going to do the photography and we're going to do the mass spec analysis at my lab.
And I will bring you results as all of that happens.
And I've got to say...
Thank you for your support of what we do.
Because without your support, frankly, we wouldn't be in a position where we could donate lab time.
Because instrument time is expensive.
The instruments are expensive.
You know, these ICPMS instruments, and we have two of them now.
Each one of them is like $300,000 to $400,000.
And then annual maintenance on each one can run you $20,000 to $40,000.
That's per year per machine.
So it's no joke, folks.
I mean, it takes a lot of money to run these instruments.
But because of your support for what we do, you know, our online store, healthrangerstore.com, where we do all the lab testing for our food products, we make sure that we know it's good, that we don't have lead contamination and so on.
That's what we use the instruments for.
But because of your support...
We have the luxury of being able to donate instrument time to other science projects that we think are worthy for the future of humanity.
And isn't it important to maybe defend our planet against future extinction-level event impacts?
And so we're part of this now.
We're contributing to unraveling the mysteries of history.
And I'm going to have a blast doing this.
So thank you for your support.
Oh, one more item here on planetary science.
This is really fascinating.
This is from LifeSite News.
Record number of polar bears shows that climate zealots' dire predictions are greatly exaggerated.
Remember when the climate people made the polar bear their mascot?
And they would show you all these images in TV commercials like, the polar bears can't swim!
Which is crazy because they're great swimmers, actually.
They They are some of the best swimmers.
They can swim for miles.
And they are insulated from the water with their special fur.
They have water-repellent fur that traps actually an insulative air bubble layer in the fur.
So they're not even bothered by cold water.
Polar bears love to swim in cold water.
Anyway, we were told that polar bears have nothing left.
There's no ice, you know?
And it's like, sad polar bear.
No ice.
Turns out that's not the case at all.
Polar bear populations are booming.
This comes out of the Canadian Department of the Environment.
It says that science and Inuit are now observing higher numbers of polar bears, and the management goals are more focused on maintaining or reducing numbers.
And by management goals, they mean that hunting polar bears are killing them.
I mean...
In other words, there's so many polar bears that they have to try to reduce their number.
That's what they're saying.
So we were told, again, by the climate people that the polar bears have no ice, they're dying.
But actually, there's so many that the governments are talking about.
How do we kill some of these bears off?
Because they're just everywhere.
You know, we were told polar bears are going to be extinct by now.
And we were shown all these videos of emaciated polar bears.
Oh, they're going to die.
No, it was all just propaganda, it turns out.
Unbelievable.
And look, let me be clear.
I am pro-environment.
I am completely against microplastics pollution.
I am against heavy metals pollution.
I am against particulate pollution.
Which is the kind of thing that Bill Gates is pushing, dimming the sun.
I am against pollution.
I'm against pharmaceutical pollution.
I'm against biosludge pollution.
I am not against life-giving molecules like carbon dioxide that are necessary for photosynthesis, which is the basis of all life on our planet.
I am not opposed to life.
But the climate cultists out there, they try to use polar bears to convince you that carbon dioxide was bad.
Which is insane.
Carbon dioxide is great.
It's critical.
We would all die without it.
And as I've said before, I don't understand to this day why climate people love ice so much, which means they hate liquid water.
Well, you can't grow crops in ice.
You can't grow trees or rainforests in ice.
It's too cold.
It's not liquid, obviously.
If you wanna grow green things, you know, trees, plants, grasses, flowers, crops, you gotta have liquid water, which means you should like a planet that is warmer, more liquid, more rainfall inland.
You should want a climate that is more like a greenhouse.
You should want a little more greenhouse gas, frankly.
I mean, you should want more ocean habitat, which means bigger oceans.
How do you get bigger oceans?
You melt more ice.
And if you have bigger oceans, don't you have more habitat for dolphins and whales and coral reefs and little starfish and everything else that we're told that the environmentalists care about?
But if they care about all those creatures, why do they want less ocean water?
Why do they want lower oceans?
Why do they want frozen water everywhere?
Why do they want a frozen ice planet?
Why do they want an ice age, basically?
Why do they want to dim the sun and eliminate carbon dioxide and shut down the biosphere, destroy the ecosystem, destroy food crops?
Why?
Why?
Because they're cultists!
They're deceptive, dishonest, mass murderers, genocidal, anti-science lunatics pretending like they care about the planet, even though they don't understand the basic molecules of life.
They don't even understand O2 or CO2 or N2 or anything that's in the atmosphere, or argon for that matter.
They don't understand any of it.
It's just nothing but lies and propaganda from these people.
We should send some of them out to try to hunt polar bears and see how that goes.
That would be a battle.
Because I think the polar bears would eat the snowflakes.
What do you think, huh?
Polar bear versus snowflake!
Live streaming at 7pm.
The new UFC. The ultimate fright championship.
Yeah.
We could see Dana White slap a polar bear and then the polar bear eat his head off, right?
Something like that.
Wasn't that interesting the other day when, just as a side note, Dana White, the founder of or the president of UFC, he slapped his wife Well, she slapped him first, right?
And then he slapped her.
I commented about this the other day, but there was something I forgot to say.
Well, two things.
Number one, here's the sequence that happened.
He said something to her.
We don't know what he said, but he kind of said something in her ear.
And then she slapped him, and then he slapped her.
So, number one, if you're a man and you just got slapped by a woman, chances are you deserved it.
I don't know what he just said, but it probably deserved a slap.
That's the first realization.
Second thing is, why do we all agree that it's wrong for men to slap women?
Think about this.
Why is it wrong?
Why is it generally thought of as okay for a woman to slap a man, but not for a man to slap a woman?
Why is that bad?
Because we all understand that there are differences between men and women, i.e.
That women typically are less physically strong, especially in the upper body regions, you know, shoulders and arms and chest and so on.
And thus, it's not a, quote, fair fight.
It's abuse when a man slaps a woman, or at least generally that's the way it's perceived.
But you understand that this belief is based on the understanding that men and women are different.
And of course they're different.
But the whole transgenderism push that's out there right now pretends that men and women are not different, which is why they have biological men competing in women's sports, women's cycling, women's boxing, women's basketball, volleyball, everything.
So think about it this way.
If it's wrong for a man to slap a woman, why is it okay with the woke woman Leftists for a man to punch a woman in a sporting event.
Because that is happening.
That's happening in fighting championships and boxing and whatever.
Why is that okay in our world?
If it's wrong for Dana White to slap his wife, and that is wrong, why is it okay for a guy like Dana White to punch a woman and win a gold medal in women's boxing?
There's a question for you.
In my view, that's just abusing women.
To put them in the ring with a biological man who's crazy enough to think he's a woman and he wants to hit you?
Give me a break.
Alright, switching topics here.
An article out of Zero Hedge.
Putin sends warship armed with hypersonic missiles to Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
This is actually from yesterday.
Vladimir Putin ordered warship armed with the new hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles to To be deployed on a mission to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
This is believed to be a message and a warning aimed at the West against escalating in Ukraine.
This was a deployment of a frigate armed with these missiles intended to make maximum a public impact and so on and so forth.
Okay.
Why does this matter?
Number one, that these cruise missiles, my understanding is they're capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
They have not been deployed in that manner, but I believe they're capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
And in addition, this kind of a hypersonic missile system poses a very real threat to the destruction of a U.S. aircraft carrier.
Now, U.S. aircraft carriers have all kinds of defenses.
You know, kinetic defenses and electronic jamming defenses and many layers of different types of mechanisms far beyond my knowledge of.
They are like floating armories and castles.
It's hard to take out an aircraft carrier, but if there's one weapon that poses a realistic threat to do that, it's a hypersonic missile.
Traveling at something like Mach 15 or Mach 20 is Does a U.S. aircraft carrier have the ability to intercept such a missile?
I'm not sure.
I don't think so.
But to my knowledge, no.
So a reasonable question is, could Russia take out a U.S. aircraft carrier as a way to say, hey, stop what you're doing here.
Leave the area or lose more ships.
And I think the answer to that, I mean...
Look, I think Russia's going to launch an offensive against Ukraine very soon, within the next 90 days, is what I'm estimating.
And as part of that, I think this hypersonic missile deployment on the frigate is...
Kind of a warning message, but also a practical kinetic attack system that may be coordinated with whatever offensives are happening on the ground against Ukraine.
I think Russia is preparing for war, and they're not preparing to lose the war.
They're preparing to win this conflict and to really punch the West in the nose, so to speak, to really hurt the West badly without using nuclear weapons, which would bring on a lot of international condemnation.
And a hypersonic missile like this, even if it just struck an aircraft carrier, if it successfully got through carrier defenses, That would send a message around the world that, you know, the American military is incapable of defending itself.
That would send a very devastating message.
So, you know, I hope this doesn't happen, but I think that's what Russia is trying to accomplish.
I hope there's some kind of super top secret, you know, exotic alien shields or something that can be projected in front of an aircraft carrier, you know, like stopping everything.
Redirect the dilithium crystals to front shields, Captain, or whatever it takes.
But I don't think that that is actually real.
At least it hasn't been deployed.
Okay, there is now a medical dictatorship that has gone live in California because of that new law that just went into effect there, the so-called Misinformation Bill.
It was signed by Newsom a few months ago.
It's called Assembly Bill 2098.
And it means that, well, you can have your medical license yanked if you question, you know, any narrative of the vaccine establishment.
So it makes you wonder how many doctors are going to leave California at this point, doesn't it?
And what's the point?
If you can't express what you believe to your patients, if you can't ask questions, then what are you as a physician in California under this bill?
You're a robot.
You're a puppet of the system.
You're a mouthpiece of their propaganda.
If you say anything against what they say, then they just take your license or maybe even criminally prosecute you or something.
So these are insane times.
Now, what goes along with that is a realization that a lot of doctors, the services they offer, are about to become obsolete.
Because of this new AI chatbot.
So I don't know if you've heard about these AI chatbots.
There's one from, I think, OpenAI that is very convincing.
You can ask it to do things like, you know, write a poem, and it does, or write a screenplay, write an article, and it does, and it's convincing.
Well, there was a paper from Google I guess Google scientists called Large Language Models and Code Clinical Knowledge.
And they use this AI chatbot to interact with patients in a chat, you know, text messaging environment.
And the AI doctors, you know, the artificial doctors here, We're right, so-called right in their medical answers, 92.6% of the time.
Now, human doctors were right 92.9% of the time.
So the AI chatbot was only 0.3% less correct, so to speak, than the human doctors.
Now, there are a couple of takeaways from this.
Number one, this means that human doctors are going to become obsolete unless they can think outside the box, right?
So this AI system, of course, was fed all the pharmaceutical information.
Big Pharma feeds this.
Google is all vacuuming up vaccine propaganda and medical lies and psychiatric drug BS and just CDC propaganda and so on.
So their AI chatbot is just pushing out pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals.
Well, doctors that are nothing but glorified pill pushers are already obsolete because there's an AI system that can push pills.
But the kind of doctors that are not going to be obsolete, and these are more holistic doctors, complementary medicine, naturopathic, and so on.
These are doctors that can connect the dots holistically across multiple modalities where they can see a patient and they can assess symptoms and they also have empathy and sympathy because they're human.
And they can read the moods, the reactions, the mental state, the energy state of the patient, which is something that computers can't do.
And then they can incorporate all that information, plus, again, multiple modalities across naturopathic medicine and so on, to provide big picture solutions.
Not just, oh, you need an antidepressant drug, but, hey, maybe you should spend some time away from the couch and, you know, getting outdoors.
Have you tried gardening?
You know, an AI system will never think of that.
An AI system will just look at the symptoms and then look at the pills.
Oh, this pill matches that symptom because that's the, quote, standard of care, and then we bill the insurance company using this insurance code.
Boom!
You know, medical business, that's it.
But a human being would look at the whole patient and say, you know, what's happening in your life?
Find out, oh, you know, lost a loved one.
Or something's changing in the weather patterns and it's causing, you know, achiness.
In their body and they need more exercise or they're lacking something.
They're deficient in a mineral or deficient in a nutrient or deficient in mind-body medicine.
They've lost faith in humanity or something, which sometimes I have that symptom myself.
That's like, sometimes lost a little faith there, although I'm gaining it back.
I'll talk about that in a second.
But, you know, you see my point.
Only a human...
Doctor can assemble all of this different information and have a holistic solution.
So I want to say that for those of you listening who are naturopathic-oriented clinicians or physicians, you will never be obsolete because an AI system will never be as human as you are.
And, by the way, all kinds of people will never trust an AI doctor bot.
Because it's just a pill-pushing bot, right?
People want to see people.
People want the human interaction.
People trust people more than they trust machines, especially after the last election.
So the last three elections, come to think of it.
Can you imagine what it's going to look like when they finally figure out how to make bipedal robots that are kind of humanoid shaped and can walk around like mimicking humans in a crude way and then they put these AI systems in those robots and you have like animatronic robots Terminator doctors walking around the hospital, like they throw a lab coat on them to make them look slightly human, but their expressions aren't really human.
It's like, what seems to be bothering you today?
You know, like, what the hell?
Give me my body cam.
Give me my patient cam.
I'm being attacked by Dr.
Terminator over here.
You need ventilators, you know?
It's some kind of horrible, futuristic, dystopian hospital homicide nightmare scenario.
Nobody wants to see that.
People run out of the hospitals, even in those butt-naked gowns, you know, just fleeing with their flip-flops and underwear.
Get me out of here!
Yeah, trust me, if you're a naturopath, you're never going to be obsolete.
People always need the human touch.
Alright, we're gonna jump into the interview here shortly.
I've got an interview with our Special Forces Operator on the border of Texas.
Who has been given this equipment from the satellite phone store, these push-to-talk satellite radios and the bivvy sticks and so on.
And he's got an update for us about what's happening, the Title 42, the border crossers, the human trafficking, the drug interdiction, and the use of technology to save lives, including saving the lives of some of the illegals.
Who are trying to get across and then they almost die trying to get across.
And so sometimes this technology is saving the lives of the illegals or other times saving the lives of the mostly men but some women who are involved in the border protection operations across multiple agencies and departments and state versus federal and all kinds of groups, super secret groups and who knows what else.
But We're going to get to that interview in a little bit, in a minute.
But I want to finish up the non-interview part of this podcast with the main point of my observation, which is the good news of what's coming.
I have been involved in conversations lately.
First-hand knowledge.
I've talked to founders.
I've talked to investors of other founders of other organizations that are doing extraordinary things in what I call the parallel economy.
This parallel economy concept is going to absolutely explode in 2023.
And The best way for me to describe this in a big picture format and why this matters to you will become apparent.
But basically, think about all the things that people routinely buy.
They buy all kinds of stuff from Amazon.
They buy clothes.
They buy toilet paper.
They buy pens and pencils.
They buy computers, whatever.
They buy nutritional supplements.
They buy dog food.
They buy everything.
But they're buying it from these online retailers or brick and mortar retailers that tend to be philosophically...
Disastrous, you know, corporate entities.
Basically, woke corporations or globalist corporations, anti-human corporations, you know, virtue signaling corporations, or corporations always pushing, you know, transgenderism and LGBT flags all over the place.
The largest companies that retail stuff to people also tend to be the most woke and the most offensively anti-human corporations.
This includes banks, by the way.
It's not just retailers, but it's banks, it's financial institutions, it's educational institutions, it's backend of the retail industry.
It's like merchant processing, it's software providers, and so on.
Think about Salesforce.
The Salesforce software company is a super woke, radical, left-wing, America-hating company.
Well, it turns out That about half of America doesn't want to do business with these woke corporations.
Half of America doesn't want to shop with Amazon.
Half of America doesn't want to frequent Bed Bath& Beyond, which is why their traffic has dropped 33% and continuing.
And that's why they're going to go bankrupt, right?
But people want to do business with others who share their same philosophical worldview.
And what we're going to see in 2023, and a lot of this is not public yet.
Well, most of it's not public.
We're going to see the launching in the next 12 months of multiple ecosystems, platforms, hubs, service providers, infrastructure providers in the space of the parallel economy.
And you are going to see a dramatic shift in America, especially, but also around the world of people shifting away from Amazon and into this parallel economy, even to buy just basic kind of stuff.
Now, Mike Lindell from Mike Pillow was actually quite a pioneer in this space.
What Mike Lindell proved is that in order to sell pillows, you don't actually need to have an amazing pillow.
You need to have a philosophy that people resonate with.
I mean, and I'm not trying to put down his pillows.
They're fine.
And I'm not criticizing Lindell at all.
In fact, he's been brilliant in doing this.
He proved that people will buy the same pillow over and over and over again just to financially support you because they believe in your message and your actions and what you're doing to try to save America.
And Mike Lindell has been intimately involved in Arizona and trying to expose the ballot rigging and election fraud.
And he's been a supporter of election integrity and so many things, too much to mention.
But he's done this largely by selling things to people that they could have bought anywhere.
Because, you know, again, there's nothing in a Mike Lindell pillow that you can't find in other people's pillows.
The difference is that it comes from Mike Lindell, and Mike Lindell is a courageous hero and a fighter for America.
You see, that's the difference.
Now, multiply this effect across everything that people buy.
Everything.
Everything that you can imagine.
You know, all the categories I mentioned, even outdoor gear, you know, camping gear, whatever.
Health and wellness and entertainment and clothing and everything.
Shoes, you name it.
You are going to see that shift taking place this year, and it is going to absolutely explode.
And one of the characteristics of this new parallel economy is that it will be strongly decentralized.
And what I mean by that is instead of one big store like Amazon, there are going to be, frankly, 100,000 plus smaller stores or 100,000 different websites run by smaller people or couples or small organizations different websites run by smaller people or couples or small organizations or churches or clinicians or
That all are sort of portals to a similar back-end selection of millions of products.
And through this, instead of having one big Jeff Bezos, who is a multi-billionaire, you're going to have hundreds of thousands of millionaires who do very well doing retail to the groups that they reach or the people that they you're going to have hundreds of thousands of millionaires who do very well doing retail to the groups that
In other words, you're going to see the decentralization of e-commerce in a major way happening this year across multiple platforms.
Multiple platforms that I have personally had discussions with that are viable, that are functional, I mean, professionally constructed, and are inclusive in the sense of bringing more people into the benefits of and are inclusive in the sense of bringing more people into the benefits of the process of online sales or e-commerce of both physical products as
knowledge products, video courses, downloadable PDFs and things like that.
This is going to be the year of 100,000 storefronts instead of one Amazon Prime.
And along with this, or I should say alongside it or parallel to it, there's also going to be this massive shift into telemedicine.
Now, I'm in discussions with a couple of telemedicine groups and pioneers, people in this space, and as you know, I did a pilot mention of one program last week, and we got hundreds of responses, which were really amazing.
Thank you for your responses.
And about half those responses were very positive of that concept that I mentioned.
The other half were critical.
And the things they were critical about were correct, by the way.
And so that information is already being used in a redevelopment effort That will feed into something that is coming later.
So your feedback on that already made a massive difference and I can't say too much yet, but it's going to be, I think, very exciting what comes out of that.
But the number one complaint of that was that that network was promoting allopathic Medical solutions because they were traditional doctors.
And you're right, that is not aligned with what we teach.
We don't teach allopathic medicine to solve every problem, although it's appropriate in certain situations.
You know, if you're itching like crazy, you know, Sometimes you need some hydrocortisone cream or something, or if you have an infection, sometimes you need an antibiotic, but that should not be the first thing you reach for, right?
And we have to teach naturopathic principles of prevention and so on.
But the world is going to shift away from the hospitals and In a huge way, and especially they will shift away from those hospitals that have the Terminator medical doctor robots that are hunting you down, you know.
You've been targeted for termination.
No.
There's going to be a lot more telemedicine.
There's going to be video interaction over Zoom or other platforms.
There's going to be more specialization of the patient-practitioner interaction.
And it doesn't necessarily have to be a doctor-doctor.
It could be a mental health expert.
It could be a functional medicine expert.
It could be a naturopath.
It could be a traditional Chinese medicine expert.
It could be, who knows, you know, any number of areas of expertise or different modalities that could be brought in.
And I think this is the future of medical interactions other than, of course, physical emergencies like, you know, you cut your leg open with a chainsaw, right? You got to go to the ER. You're going to need to see a doctor there and stop the bleeding. But for most health conditions, it's going to turn to telemedicine.
Telemedicine is going to bring in a massive decentralization of the entire medical infrastructure, and it's going to ultimately make obsolete the current centralized, fascist, anti-science, anti-human medical genocide system that just pushes pills and vaccines and chemotherapy.
That system is obsolete, but In fact, right now, if it wasn't for government subsidies, most hospitals, virtually all of them, would be bankrupt.
Most pharma companies would be bankrupt without government paying them tens of billions of dollars.
The entire medical system that exists right now cannot compete in a free market competitive environment because the services that they offer do not work, for the most part.
They're not effective.
They're not cost effective.
They're not compassionate.
They're not preventative.
They simply do not produce good results.
So in an honest system of free market choices, people would not choose that system.
They only choose it because they're forced to choose it.
Well, that's about to change.
We're going to have more choices.
We're going to see more telemedicine and more naturopathic-oriented choices.
Telemedicine or consultative types of interactions remotely with a qualified practitioner.
I've only covered two examples here in talking about this trend, this decentralization trend and this parallel economy.
We're going to have a parallel medical economy and I know that She probably won't mind me saying it, but Sherry Tenpenny is active in this space, by the way, and she's very innovative, and she is a pioneer who's doing extraordinary work that you're going to hear about.
And a lot of other people are as well, but she's one of them.
Judy Mikevitz is another one.
There's some really great people doing great things, but it's telemedicine.
And it's also going to be the e-commerce of everything parallel economy.
You're going to have so many alternatives to Amazon soon for so many categories of products.
That you're going to be able to easily choose.
Like, oh, okay, I need to buy something.
I don't know, what do you need?
A backpack, let's say.
Do I want to buy from Amazon and support Jeff Bezos?
Or do I want to buy from this other network or this other website of this, you know, maybe sponsored by your church or whatever, where the backpack, it's the same backpack, it's the same price, but now a little bit of the profit goes to the church instead of Jeff Bezos.
Who basically is a CIA puppet.
So this is the world that's coming.
It's the parallel economy, this massive economic migration away from centralized control and from big tech centers.
And so mark my words, and I'd love to have a conversation with people like Ed Dowd about this as well, because I know he's a pioneer in the finance side of many of these topics that we're talking about.
But If I were placing bets on this, although I'm not because I don't play in the stock market, but if I were, I would bet against the Amazons of the world.
I would bet against the big box retailers, and I would bet in favor of decentralized, local, smaller, more human interaction storefronts that give people access to To millions of potential products in the back end of those systems.
And these solutions are coming this year.
And you listening to this, you may have opportunities to participate in this in all kinds of different ways.
You could be a vendor that provides products into these funnels of systems in the alternative economy.
Maybe you make a product on a small scale and you're not sure how to market it.
Well, because of what's launching this year, you're going to have new channels and new avenues where you don't have to bow down to the demands of Amazon.com, which is the number one seller of everything, the fulfillment center of everything.
You're going to have new options that are very viable to support your business.
or maybe you're a marketer or maybe you're the leader of an organization such as a nonprofit or a church or you are an influencer.
Maybe you have your own channel.
Maybe you represent a group of companies or a group of manufacturers or an ethnic group or a philosophical group.
You're going to have opportunities to participate in this on the portal side that will allow you to get very close to being like a small amazon.com without any of the investment of an Amazon, which is billions of dollars of investment.
Imagine being able to start something like that for just a few hundred dollars instead of billions of dollars.
Those opportunities are in development and some of them are actually launching in pilot form right now and there are major advances coming that are going to change this game.
From here forward.
And of course, one of the reasons I know this is because we've been invited to participate in such systems that I've already had conversations with many of the pioneers in this space.
And we are very innovative ourselves.
We have a lot of infrastructure ourselves.
You know, we are content producers.
We own platforms and things like that.
So this is one of the reasons that people reach out to us during the development stage of such projects.
They want our input.
They want to know about integration.
You know, lots of issues.
So I can tell you, 2023 is going to be a very promising year for those of us in the alternative slash parallel economy.
It's going to be a horrible year for those in the mainstream economy.
See, I mean, the doom and the bloom are happening at the same time.
It just depends on, you know, which economy in which you're participating or which philosophy you have.
I think 2023 is going to be a horrible year.
For those who are anti-human, for those who are anti-freedom, for those who are anti-medical choice, for those who believe in big government and big powerful monopolistic corporations, for those who believe in mask mandates and vaccine mandates, for those who worship Lucifer and believe in grooming and pedophilia and all that, I think 2023 is going to be a bad year for those people.
And probably every year after that as well.
But for those of us who are pro-human, who are pro-freedom, who are pro-medical choice, For those of us who believe in empathy and sympathy and morality, it's going to be a great year.
And this is going to be a great era for us.
And for those of us who have faith, for those of us who believe that God is guiding us in what's happening in our lives, It's going to be a great year.
It's going to be an amazing decade, even as, again, as there's going to be doom all around us.
There's going to be desperate people.
There are going to be collapse events.
There's no question.
There's going to be depopulation.
It's happening now.
We're watching it.
But even in that environment, We're going to be able to choose our own future, to write our own history in real time as it's unfolding, and to reject the doom, and to reject the collapse.
Again, even if we are among it, we don't have to be sucked into it.
We don't have to be destroyed by it.
We can walk through it.
We can walk through the valley of the shadow of death, right?
And With God by our side, we are safe.
We are still whole.
We are still human.
So it's the philosophical alignment that will determine how well you can integrate into this parallel economy.
If you share the philosophies that I think you do, if you're listening to this, your future can look very bright.
You're going to do well.
You're going to be okay.
We all are.
It's those who have already abandoned their humanity who will suffer their own self-destruction.
So that's the message I wanted to share with you today.
On a Friday, too.
I think it's a very empowering kind of thought to leave you with over the weekend, although we still have an interview coming up here that is also interesting.
But I want to thank you for your support.
Thank you for everything that you're doing and for having faith in humanity, although I admit at times I have lost faith in humanity and then regain it and then some other times lose it again.
But I believe we can create a bright future based on this philosophical and faith alignment.
So thank you for your support.
Obviously, if you want to support us, healthrangerstore.com is our online store.
And we do have our number 10 cans, you know, of our freeze-dried organic storable foods.
A lot of those back in stock, so we're helping a lot of people get stocked up.
We were out of stock most of last year, but we're now in stock because we have ramped up production quite a lot.
So, that's working.
And then here comes the interview with our Special Forces friend who is a commander of teams.
I don't know the right way to describe exactly who he is or what he does because so much I can't say, but...
I'll let him tell you.
How about that?
But he's doing some really courageous things on the border with teams.
He's representing the state of Texas and trying to protect us from this invasion that's taking place.
And he's got some fascinating stories to share with us.
So we'll do that interview now, and that'll be the end of today's podcast.
I wish you a wonderful Friday, a wonderful weekend.
I may have updates for you over the weekend, but if not, I'll be back with you on Monday.
So have a great day.
Enjoy the interview.
Okay, welcome to today's featured interview.
Mike Adams here, and we are joined once again for a second time by our special operations unit commander.
I'm not able to give his name or rank, but he operates out of Texas, a special ops unit out of Texas, working the border, doing human trafficking interdiction, weapons interdiction, and so on.
And he has been gifted a tremendous amount of satellite communications gear by our sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store.
And today he's coming back to give us an update of what's happening on the border, including in El Paso, and also then the use of these comms for effectiveness at protecting America's borders.
So, sir, thank you so much for joining me.
I really appreciate your time and your experience.
I know it's late.
You've had a long day already, but thank you for joining me.
Yes, sir.
It's always good to speak with you, Mike.
It has been a long day since probably about 5 o'clock this morning, rolling out and tracking these illegals and stuff through the canyons, as usual.
Things have been pretty crazy down there, but thank goodness to, again, as far as the sponsor providing these satellite ICON 100 SAT radios, And the bivy sticks, they've been amazing.
Go ahead.
I want to ask you about that in a little bit, about practically what you're doing, because I know one of those, I think she sent you five of the Push to Talk satellite radios.
I want to ask you, but first, tell us, for those who didn't hear the previous interview, although it was very popular, tell us what's your mission there and what you're doing exactly, or as much as you can.
Well, I'm working the Texas border.
I can't give a direct location, but in the AO we're working is one of the largest of the AO's area of operations that we're working.
We are supporting...
BPs capture tracking of illegal aliens, human traffickers, possible other foreign people coming across,
drug interdiction, possibly weapons and explosives if we do come across those, which has been So far in our area has not been as much as the drugs and human trafficking side.
And then, you know, of course we have the regular migratory mentality that they just come across the border in large groups.
We track them as well.
So we work with, on the military side, special operations group with the conventional Texas National Guard.
Brush Operations as well as Special Operations DPS And Texas Rangers and game wardens.
What is your assessment of Governor Abbott and his commitment to protecting the border?
Because, honestly, I've heard a broad spectrum.
I've heard some people say, oh, it's great, he's serious, he's putting a lot of money.
I've heard other people accuse Abbott of almost being complicit with the illegal immigration.
What's your take, if I may ask?
You know, I think he's put himself, by some of the speeches he's given, put himself in between a hard place and a rock, and he's either going to have to follow through with what he says, especially based off the Title 42 possibly ending.
He's able to implement state The assets, that would be National Guard, that would be DPS and different things like that.
The State Guard, which is a state-approved or state-mandated militia, able to work on the border in a different capacity to where we have more hands-on as far as trafficking, catching, pushing back across the border.
Will he do that?
I don't know.
I believe in some cases, I believe he's a rhino.
And in other cases, I believe he's trying to do the right thing.
But if he, if anything, he needs to take some lessons from DeSantos and, and stand strong and firm with this state and have people who want to back him and want to be supportive of him because we'll do it with or without him.
So, well, a couple of questions here.
Didn't, Didn't Governor Abbott not long ago, I think he issued an executive order designating an official invasion status under state statutes.
I don't know the exact legal standing of that, but was that something that made a huge difference in the ability of teams like yours to be able to get resources or to add to the team size?
Did that make a difference?
It should have, and it was supposed to, but as far as adding those numbers or giving us the resources...
That would probably make a larger difference.
That hasn't been implemented as of yet.
I'm not trying to throw the man under the bus and say he's not doing it.
I'm trying to say it hasn't reached that point to where it's been funneled down to us yet.
Well, that can also take a lot of time because of all the levels of bureaucracy and who's writing checks and who's doing the accounting and all that.
So maybe it just hasn't trickled into your neck of the desert yet.
Yeah, that's possible.
It is.
But there's a lot to be said at one point where I'm using some of my own personal equipment.
As far as my trailer to haul some of our special operations vehicles are having people like the Satellite Phone Store, who has supported us tremendously, God bless them, in supplying equipment that we should already have operating down in A.O. Now,
it has come to my attention over the last few months that we will be getting A tower put in, in some certain areas to help us give coverage of radio frequencies and cell reach capability, cellular capability, but it won't cover some of the most trickier areas that we are in, where the crossings across the river happen, unfortunately.
Yeah, I mean, you just mentioned something really interesting.
So I do want to give credit to the satellite phone store.
The website is sat123.com.
And they have sat phones.
They have the two-way satellite text messaging devices, the bivvy sticks.
I think they got you over a dozen of those for your team.
And then they have the push-to-talk satellite radios, or walkie-talkies, basically.
So you hold it down, you know, you talk, and then the other team members hear it, just like a walkie-talkie, but it's going through the satellites.
It seems odd to me that a state like Texas wouldn't already be working with somebody like the satellite phone store and already have this gear for teams like yours that are in these very remote locations, no cell service, no satellite oversight or anything.
I mean, they're not keeping an eye on you.
You're out there on your own, right?
I mean, you and your team, you're on your own, correct?
Yeah, we're not being micromanaged.
We're being given a mission, and due to the status of our operations in our type of unit, including the conventional guys, these are infantrymen that have either already been in deployments or have served in mission status.
We do have...
Iridium SAT phones, and I have yet to see one work at all.
Really?
Yeah, we don't personally have those.
Yeah, they're on the conventional National Guard side, but we haven't seen them work not once.
That's crazy.
I tried to use one myself, but it didn't do any good.
I couldn't get out on a call, couldn't receive a call.
I have used...
The Push to Talk Icon 100 set radios in some of the furthest canyons, deepest canyons out there to talk out, to track our guys and give them heads up in the direction that these groups are going so that we can head them off and capture them at an ambush point.
And it's like talking right next, I mean like on a regular radio to each other.
So I mean it's that close.
And they're encrypted.
Yeah.
When you push the button, it beeps twice while it encrypts your conversation, and it's a good encryption.
It's a very secure system.
Now, okay, this is interesting to hear what you're saying, but are you also saying then that the NMAR SAT phones, are you using any NMAR SATs, or are you just using the bivvy sticks and the push-to-talk satellite radios?
We had tried the MRSat Iridium sat phones prior to receiving the push-to-talks, and we didn't have any luck.
And then the satellite phone store donated these five radios to us, and we started using them.
We just turned the other ones back into the supply chain.
Because they weren't working any good, and we were just using the radios that were given to me.
Okay, I'm guessing, by the way, I'm guessing it's got to be a configuration issue on those iridiums, because when configured correctly...
I know that they work, but the thing is, the Iridium satellite network, you know, is a lower-altitude network, and the satellites are passing overhead.
They're not geostationary satellites.
So depending on whether you're picking up one satellite or handshaking, like a handoff to another satellite that's coming into your view, they can, in some circumstances, be a little more troublesome.
But they should work.
I imagine...
I imagine whoever got you those from the state, from the government, just didn't have them configured.
That's my guess.
That's a good possibility.
That would be one of my echo guys who's a comms guy to be able to figure that out.
I just know that when they were handed to us, told that they work or they're in a working status, and we were down in there, we were not able to receive or transmit out information as we needed it in some of the Deeper canyons and some of the more important areas we needed to.
Up closer to the highway or in an open area, it seemed to work better, but we never got them to work down in the Canes, not as well as we did the push-to-talks, which were once you figured out you needed to...
You have to be very point-blank with push-to-talks.
You have to make sure you're out in the center of the canyon or whatever, or at least make sure you have a good signal on your screen.
It has its limits, too, but it's been...
Pretty much, I'd say, anywhere from 85% to 95% on point in all communications that we've used.
Yeah, and thank goodness the satellite phone store got you that solution because the other thing that I love about those is you don't have to dial numbers.
You don't have to navigate a phone book.
You know, because frankly, some of the satellite phones, like figuring out what to dial, is it 011 and then, or is it, you know, what's the prefix again?
But with the push to talks, you just pick it up, you push it, you talk, you know, I mean, well, you push it, you wait for the beep, which is the synchronization and the encryption, like you said.
Then you talk, you let go of the button, everybody else hears it, and then you wait for the, it's just so simple.
It's like a fifth grader can use it.
You don't have to be a geek to figure this thing out, right?
No, it is simple to use.
I mean, we had a few guys that when they first got them, and I wasn't able to be there to give them a heads up because I rotate these...
I provide radios amongst the teams as they rotate in and out of their scheduled time in the same AO that I'm in.
I provide these amongst the teams.
I have them on my team.
I share them on the SOG DPS side, and I also share them on the BP side when necessary, especially the bivvy sticks.
And I'm also learning more and more about these systems to where the bivy sticks can actually message the push-to-talk radios is what I'm starting to see.
Yeah, so there's a lot more communication capability if you're not trying to talk or you're in a situation and you have to be extremely quiet.
You know, that works out very well for a tactical situation when you're trying to, you know, get into...
Your different movement orders from being down and watching these groups move through a canyon and you're trying to talk to different interagency groups where everybody operates a little differently compared to the special operations guys on the military side versus special operations guys on the Texas Ranger side situation.
Being able to Do what we need to.
We have very quick SOPs that we can use within team, inner team working.
For that.
So it's been very good.
So are there situations you can think of in the last couple months since you've received this equipment where it made a real tactical difference in the field and either in accelerating an interdiction or helping exfil somebody who was at risk or something like that?
Something that really made a big difference that you can think of?
Yes, we had several groups that came through that had infants with them, where they were all, everybody, the mothers and the babies were dehydrated and cold.
And, you know, so getting them communications to the BP station, chief station, For an exfil of those individuals, PRONTO was absolutely needed.
Also, when we're trying to do an LPOP as a listening post, you know, or observation post, and communicate amongst those to get the correct coordinates and distances that we needed to to get to those groups in a safe manner and in the dark,
It was paramount that we'd be able to talk to each other and coordinate that while it was happening, which ultimately saves lives.
It keeps us alive.
Even though they're invading our country or coming into our country illegally, we don't want human life to be sparingly left to fend for itself.
We still have to make sure we take care of human life.
Well, and I'm shocked to hear you say that they're bringing infants across and they're all dehydrated, including the infants.
I mean, we've all seen children that can walk, right?
But I haven't seen many reports of mothers carrying infants.
Is that a common thing now?
I hadn't seen it much up until just prior to the freeze, but it was still very cold.
And then shortly after, we were both very young toddlers, probably one-and-a-half to two-year-old range, I would say.
One was a female, one was a male.
Two different groups.
It's been pretty interesting.
Our counterparts further west on the border are definitely hitting quite a bit of drug interdiction as far as marijuana and fentanyl and stuff like that.
So they're doing very well up there.
The biggest interest is up by El Paso.
They had, in 18 hours, 300 captures.
They're coming up Coming across, some of our guys were chasing some IAs to cut them off from going into the neighborhoods and possibly getting into somebody's house or having some sort of a civilian altercation with these, trying to stop that from happening.
And one of the load-up vehicles chased down one of our guys and thank goodness jumped for the bushes just as they almost ran them over.
Really?
Yeah, it's gotten very crazy, and Juarez is a war zone, and lots of gunfire and explosions, and it's crazy with the cartel back and forth having it out out there.
Have you seen, and if you can't answer this question, that's fine, but I ask you this because some of my other guests have mentioned that the CCP, you know, communists, or really People's Liberation Army commanders, are co-training with narcos to do things like send fentanyl into the United States in order to harm military-aged young men, which is happening.
But have you seen any evidence that you could talk about of Any kind of communist Chinese involvement in the trafficking groups?
I can speak on an off-the-reservation program that I'm involved in on an intel side, but I can't speak of my capacity, what I'm working in right now on that.
But off on the other side, Afghanistan is in a full-blown workup with the Taliban and And the CCP working with them to push drugs further from drugs.
The poppy fields, those drug deals going down with the cartel to push more stuff into the U.S. definitely is abroad and being utilized.
So what's the routing from Afghanistan into Mexico and then using manufacturing there and then trying to smuggle across the border?
That's correct, yes.
There's a lot of things happening against the civilian population.
The people need to not be woke.
They need to be awake.
Yeah.
Let me ask you about Title 42.
As you know, that's been temporarily suspended.
But if it is revoked, then it's believed that there would be just a straight-up daily invasion of perhaps 15,000 illegals streaming across the border through multiple states.
But what do your...
Men and women that you're working with, what is their view of what's going to happen with Title 42 or the importance of it?
Well, we have a terminology.
It's called a pineapple chaos grenade.
And that's exactly what would be happening because it would be an overwhelming scenario.
I mean, other than setting up a strict border...
Control, that's like physical control, then it's going to be a free-for-all.
And the best that we can do, because you can't vet all of these people, you have no idea who's coming in, whether they're from a completely different country that came in through the Latin America pipeline, which we know is happening from the Afghanistan chatter that we get on Intel.
That's happening.
It is happening.
So you mean Afghani or Taliban members can, what, pretend to be Mexican and just kind of blend in with the border crossers?
Yeah, they'll make their way and have been known to make their way across the border already.
Yeah.
and not be caught.
So that's, now there have been some that have been caught and they've been questioned and they are being dealt with, with I'm sure on the, as far as I can speak on the DHS side, trying to do what they can do to, you know, find out where they came from and how they you know, find out where they came from and how they got And if they were Taliban or were they true Afghan, Afghans just trying to, refugees trying to get in.
So we're, we're finding out a whole lot more negative stuff than we are positive of any of them.
I see.
Okay, so one more question, or at least one more, but as I understand it, one of the areas that your team patrols is...
It's like the desert Badlands, basically.
I mean, it's canyons, it's rock.
You sent me a photo of one of the vehicles that your team uses.
It looks like a really rugged vehicle for...
I mean, it's like a dune buggy type of setup or something, but a tactical version.
And why would people...
Choose to cross over that incredibly rugged terrain when they could go to cities like El Paso, and it seems like they could cross more easily without having to take a 100-mile trek across a desert.
What's behind all that?
Well, generally, it's people who don't want to be caught.
So they go where nobody else wants to go.
Because of the least amount of people to cover such a great area to capture them.
It is extremely hard and some of them don't make it.
Some of them do, but it takes a toll on them.
Next thing you know, they're giving up anyway because they can't go no further.
Or we capture them and they're detained and And depending on what their background is or if they're able to verify it.
Now, there's criminals involved in that.
The criminal element coming to pick them up, which are having high-speed pursuits, which are having crashes, which are killing people, innocent people, including the illegals that they're hauling in the vehicle when it happens, has...
The uptick of that number of those things happening has quadrupled in the last few months.
It's crazy the number of high-speed pursuits that we see or are involved in.
We're not actually in the pursuit ourselves, but our law enforcement partners are leaving our side to go do that.
Take care of that situation, and we arrive on scene afterwards, and sometimes it's terrible.
Well, if this trend that you just spoke of, if this trend continues, there's obviously a chaos tipping point, or perhaps we're close to that now.
I mean, how can a state like Texas or a country like the USA deal with this if the trends continue?
I mean, what's it going to look like?
Well, They're willing to give, our government is willing to give everything to these illegals that are coming in.
Whether they be criminalistic or they're not, they're just trying to get in because they were told they could for whatever reason.
But they're not willing to take care of, what, our own veterans?
They're not willing to help them with anything.
Our own children in our own country, they're not willing to spend, they'll spend millions and billions of dollars of taxpayers' money on this situation.
And it is unsustainable.
They want to say that things are unsustainable.
This is unsustainable.
Therefore, you will have chaos.
You will have a criminal element coming in and breaking into homes and raping our children and stealing them and selling them off.
It's not my...
It's not my point of view.
It's not my hypothetical thoughts.
This is facts of what's already going on.
So open up your eyes.
Don't be woke.
Be awake.
It seems like at some point, people in Texas or groups in Texas would just say, look, if the government's not going to protect us, then The government, you know, if the government can't protect the border, then it's an illegitimate government because that's sort of the number one thing is protect the border, right?
You know, or you're not a nation.
So wouldn't a lot of citizens at some point maybe just say, well, it's our job now.
Yeah, well, it is.
It is.
And I can't promote that mentality because that would be seditious of things on my side.
But as a The person who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, protect the citizens and my state specifically, but I would do it for all.
Even the people that I don't agree with and are trying to shove their mentalities on me, I still protect them all.
Yeah.
And that's a God-given right that we had, and they have abused it, and the abuse has to stop.
And either at some point, they're going to have to stand up.
If you put your foot on the neck of the snake, on the neck of the rattlesnake, sooner or later, it's going to turn around and try and bite you.
And I tell you what, keep poking the bear and see what happens.
Let me shift gears here for some of the last questions.
A totally different take.
What do you think, and this is kind of, the scenario is, if China were to actually launch a land invasion through the Texas southern border as part of a World War scenario, let's say that We're in a nuclear war with Russia.
China sees an opportunity of America being in a two-front war.
And China rolls into Mexico and then with the narcos just rolls up into Texas.
How capable, in your view, would the Texas Guard...
Texas special ops units, Texas militias, Texas law enforcement, retired veterans, whatever.
How capable is Texas of defending itself in an actual invasion?
I think the possibility is...
Good old Texas attitude adjustment.
Double A-S whooping.
But the bottom line is, we've been breeding a generation of soy boys and weaklings that don't want to stand up for, you know, you hurt their feelings.
They want to go to a room where they can cry about it.
And that's just being honest.
we don't have a tremendous amount of men out there anymore now thank goodness we have veterans that have served and are from the old school generation that knows what has to be sacrificed to bleed the tree of liberty requires a price and nothing is for free so it worries me the generations we have that are capable
caving to this mentality, including military, law enforcement, governmental entities, schools.
Our kids are being brainwashed and abused.
It's terrible.
And then we got to worry about an invasion on top of that possibly one day.
I mean, the scenario is possible.
We already have Chinese police stations in the United States.
What do we have police stations set up in the United States that are China?
That's ridiculous.
That shouldn't even be allowed.
That should be called an invasion itself.
Well, what you're saying is it's going to resonate with my listeners for sure because there's a tremendous amount of frustration.
You know, here we are.
We just sent $110 billion plus to Ukraine to defend Ukraine's borders against an invasion, but there's not $5 billion for Ukraine?
Yeah, we're protecting everybody else's borders around the world except our own.
And on top of that, half of that money, I say half of it, probably most of that money and weapons is ending up in South Sudan and Africa.
Isn't that nice to know where your taxpaying money is going to?
Yeah, well, great global weapons laundering machine has to function.
That's exactly right.
Yeah, thank goodness for the Wagner Group, you know?
Everybody's got to get paid along the way, you know.
Yeah, whether you're a terrorist or not, it's ridiculous.
It really is.
When you have the diplomatic party, the governmental party, showing up in a room in Kiev, turning in their cell phones and their jackets to go in and party with paid women and Powdered drugs everywhere on tables in the middle of a war.
We got a problem.
There's something wrong with that story.
There's something wrong with that situation.
Yeah.
I didn't even ask you about that.
You just volunteered that description, which I'm sure people will find a little horrifying.
Yeah, it's wonderfully terrible.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I would just say, you know, thank God for people like you and other members on your team who have the honor and the courage, the determination, the training, the smart, just the wisdom, the street smarts to be out there doing what you're doing, providing at least some level of interdiction, because without you, it would be a free-for-all.
Yeah, I know so.
There's a lot of people struggling out there on the border on both sides.
We have soldiers who've committed suicide because they've been away from their families and terrible things happen while they're gone.
We have young military men and women that are just being run ragged and don't see an end to it.
And they see what's going on around them.
And it's not nothing what the media is portraying.
It's lies.
And it's frustrating for them.
And we've lost lives because of it.
We've lost unneeded lives due to suicide because of it.
I have no doubt that's the case.
Well, I know that you're working hard to keep as many people safe and alive as you can.
And I want to thank you for your time here, sir.
And also, of course, I want to thank the Satellite Phone Store for providing you the equipment.
Absolutely.
At no cost, and they're paying the ongoing monthly fees as well to keep everything up.
That's correct.
And they are a sponsor of my podcast.
I just want to be clear about that.
And folks, you can reach them at sat123.com, sat123.com.
If you want to use the gear that is being used to help defend America's borders.
Any final thoughts before we wrap this up?
Well, I would like to say that if you aren't Praying to God about the things going on.
In that moment when you think all's falling apart, you probably will pray.
So I would say support your communities, your schools, your religious communities.
Churches, all of those things that run a community.
Even voting, your votes count, whether you believe it or not.
Get on your school board.
Get those critical race theory things stopped.
Get the abuse to our children stopped in your community.
Your community is the most important thing at this time.
Keep it strong.
And then one last thing.
How important is it right now for people to be armed in self-defense, given the influx of the criminal element that's coming into places like Texas?
Everybody should be taking into consideration the ability to be able to defend yourself at whatever level necessary.
But please, please educate yourself.
Please train yourself.
Don't just go get a gun and decide you're going to carry it around and not know...
How to use it or be proficient with it.
It's a skill set.
It's a mentality.
And it needs to be dealt with.
You need to be training.
You need to arm yourself because what is coming down the pipeline sooner or later, whether you like it or not, or you want to call people conspiracy theorists or not, or whatever, it's coming.
And you're going to be unprepared if you don't.
Well, and I'll tell you, I'm coming up on 30 years of concealed carry myself.
I will have been carrying daily for almost 30 years real soon, and I've never shot myself, never shot anybody else, but I've had magazines fall out of certain pistols because I carried them so much that it wore away the retention indents on some of the magazines.
So that's the only thing I've had.
I've had magazines fall out.
Maintain your equipment.
I've had functional belt failures every once in a while.
What is that called?
A wardrobe failure like Janet Jackson, but not nearly as interesting.
Right, right.
It is important.
Yes, it is.
All right.
Well, thank you, sir, for your time and for everything that you're doing.
We appreciate you so much.
God bless you.
God bless you too, Mike.
You take care.
Alright, you too.
Take care.
Alright, bye-bye.

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.
