Time Text
Welcome to the situation update for Monday, January 23rd, 2023.
Mike Adams here.
We've got four major breaking news stories that are going to change your future.
I'm going to just mention them to you here very quickly.
And then we have an interview coming up later today.
Kind of an emergency last minute interview with John Perez.
Because, well, one of the stories here is about crypto and something major happening in that realm.
So let me just give you the headlines here.
The four big stories today are globalists are making their financial move against crypto.
And it looks like Binance, most of Binance transactions are being cut off from the SWIFT international transaction system, which is just what Western nations did to Russia.
So it looks like crypto is being treated a lot like Russia.
Okay, we're going to cover that in more detail.
Second major story, the deep state is moving against Biden.
More classified documents were found over the weekend.
And oh, they weren't just found.
I mean, they've been known about it for a long time.
They are now publicizing this because they are going to get rid of Joe Biden, and we'll talk about why.
Third story.
This is also huge.
Germany now says it won't oppose Poland sending German tanks to Ukraine.
These are main battle tanks.
Leopard 2s, I believe.
I'm not sure what the proper designation is, but we're going to get into that story and what that means and why Berlin will be ground zero for a retaliatory Russian nuclear strike if it comes to that.
Russia won't be nuking Kiev.
They'll be nuking Berlin.
So we'll talk about that.
I mean, how many times does Germany want to destroy Europe, by the way, in history?
They've already done it twice, World War I and World War II.
And now they're trying to start World War III, by the way.
So something seems to be mentally ill with German political leadership for some reason.
Okay, we'll get back to that.
The fourth major story here, Russia appears to be now moving on southern Ukraine.
And this looks like the beginning of a major offensive that we've been predicting.
It's not entirely clear, but it looks like it may be the start of this major offensive where Russia is going to probably decisively defeat Ukraine and will likely go all the way to Kiev and will occupy as much of Ukraine as it wants.
So we're going to talk about these four major breaking stories today.
Now, let me hit just briefly some other headlines that are important to you.
Remember how I said that there would be massive layoffs, especially from the tech sector, you know, starting right after the new year?
Well, it's here.
So just some of the tech companies that have laid people off in the last, what, three weeks now?
Microsoft 10,000 workers, Amazon 18,000 workers, Facebook is cutting 11,000 workers, Google is cutting 15% of its employees.
I read elsewhere it was, what, 10,000 or 12,000 people from Google.
Salesforce is announcing 7,000 plus worker layoffs.
Coinbase is eliminating 20% of its workforce.
And of course, you know, Genesis has already declared bankruptcy.
Goldman Sachs has announced it's laying off 3,200 employees.
That's the biggest layoff since 2008.
The Washington Post is cutting jobs a single-digit percentage.
New York Times is making big cuts.
BuzzFeed is cutting.
NBC News, CNN, and MSNBC are also cutting employees.
I wonder why that is.
Maybe if they stop publishing fake news, people would be more interested in what they have to say.
The bottom line is, folks, there are major layoffs and job cuts across the board, just as we predicted would happen.
All right, something else that has come up on my radar over the weekend that you need to know about.
The chairman of Siemens...
Another company started by Nazis, or at least that did work during the Nazi regime.
The chairman of Siemens has called for a billion people to stop eating meat during a speech at the World Economic Forum.
So, yeah, just like, you know, back in World War II, they called for millions of people to be exterminated.
Now they just call for billions of people to stop eating meat.
This was quoted by Jim Hageman Snobbe, Or Snaby, whatever.
He's the head of Siemens and he says that a billion people have to stop eating meat.
He says, I predict we'll have proteins not coming from meat in the future and they will probably taste even better.
Oh yeah?
I didn't see cricket legs out of the corner of his mouth.
I didn't see him eating cricket nuggets and mealworm burgers, beetle burgers.
You notice how these globalists never, of course, subject themselves to the gross, insane restrictions that they put on everybody else.
So, by the way, you know why Siemens and other German companies are pushing this insane green agenda that is causing the deindustrialization and collapse of Europe?
It's because Siemens manufactures solar panels.
They're just in the business of selling green products.
So, of course, they want everybody to stop eating meat and using combustion engines and so on.
It's insane.
And you know, to those of you listening who are vegetarians and vegans, understand that these globalists are not saying that people should stop eating meat because of anything related to animal ethics or anything related to nutrition or overconsumption of meat products or processed meat products or sodium nitrate.
This has nothing to do with health or animal ethics whatsoever.
When they want you to stop eating meat, it's just because they are pushing a prison planet.
They are punishing you.
They don't want you to have access to real food anymore.
You don't care about the animals.
They don't care about nutrition.
Just understand that.
Sometimes the goals of the globalists intersect with the anti-meat goals of vegans.
But there are plenty of vegans out there who are totally in the know, who are red-pilled, and they know what these globalists are up to, so they're not falling for it.
And besides, eating crickets is not good for you, because they contain chitin, and you can't digest chitin.
Trust me, when people start eating all these cricket burgers and cricket nuggets, they're going to have diarrhea like crazy.
Alright, Diamond and Silk, as you know, Diamond died last week, sadly.
Wonderful woman.
And her sister, Silk, as she's known, described, she's gone public now, and described that Diamond died suddenly in the kitchen, and although she didn't say it exactly this way, it looks like a vaccine death.
So it looks like Diamond took the vaccine and Perhaps because Trump pushed it.
That's just a guess.
Trump pushed the vaccine, told everybody to get it, told his supporters to get it.
And now I think that many Trump supporters who trusted him are dead because, well, the vaccine killed them.
And I suspect that Diamond is among them, sadly.
And, you know, God bless Diamond and Silk.
Let me tell you, two amazing women, very courageous.
But what's the deal with Trump?
I think.
And he said he will absolutely not support Donald Trump for any political office, you know, president, as long as Donald Trump is still pushing the vaccines.
And I have to say I agree with Dr. Malone on this very point.
I will not support Trump, and I've stated this publicly too, by the way.
I will not support Trump until he denounces these vaccines.
I will not do it.
And you know who's going after the vaccines and the vaccine makers and the masks and all the mandates and all that crap?
It's DeSantis!
While Trump is still doubling down, tripling down, quadrupling down on how he thinks that the vaccine was so great.
In fact, Trump says that if it wasn't for him and him rushing it through and bypassing the clinical trials and You know, coercing the FDA and get it approved in record time.
If it wasn't for Trump, he says the vaccine would still not be available.
Do you realize that that means that a million Americans or more would not be dead?
And that many millions of Americans would not be disabled?
I mean, you can attribute this however you want, but according to Trump's own words, the vaccine would not exist unless he had pushed it so aggressively.
And you and I know the vaccine has killed at least a million Americans and at least 20 million people around the world.
So does that fall on Trump's shoulders?
Hmm.
Interesting question.
Personally, I just don't trust the judgment of anybody who still doesn't see that vaccines are killing and maiming people.
I mean, let's be honest.
Forget about Trump for a second, but just anybody, any doctor, any pharmacist, any professional, any attorney, anybody who's still out there thinking that, oh, the boosters are great and it's awesome and they're so safe and effective and they always work.
Just, what a moron!
How can anybody be that stupid at this point?
Even the Wall Street Journal!
Is calling out the vaccines now and saying that the vaccine companies engage in all this basically fraudulent marketing of the boosters.
Oh, don't believe me?
Go to the Wall Street Journal and look for this headline.
Just got published.
The Deceptive Campaign for Bivalent COVID Boosters.
It's by Alicia Finley.
F-I-N-L-E-Y. Subhead.
Studies show they fail to live up to their promise, but vaccine makers and experts keep pushing them.
And she calls it deceptive advertising and so on.
That's a really important story.
It's in the Wall Street Journal.
And, you know, it's basically the Wall Street Journal is saying today in 2023 what people like myself and Alex Jones and many others were saying in 2020, right?
Or 2021 for sure as the vaccines were really being pushed.
But Finley says that there are three major problems with the vaccine push.
Number one, the virus is mutating faster than the vaccines can be updated.
Well, of course, of course, that's the case.
This has been the problem with the flu vaccine all these years.
So they're always chasing the previous strain.
Secondly, these vaccines have hardwired immune systems to respond to the original Wuhan strain, which is why vaccinated people are unable to respond to the variants, the so-called variants, the oh my cron and oh my god, and oh my god, what are you doing to me, variants.
This is why vaccinated people keep getting sick.
And then number three, antibody protection wanes after just a few months.
So even the Wall Street Journal sees this.
How is it that other intelligent people can't see this?
How is it that Trump can't see it, huh?
I can't trust the judgment of any person, whether their name is Trump or otherwise, who doesn't see that these vaccines are killing and harming people because it is obvious at this point.
Okay, over the weekend, there was a so-called revenge riot by Antifa in Atlanta.
And that's because the police arrested a bunch of radical left-wing terrorists who had set up some kind of a camp to oppose the building of what they called a cop city somewhere around Atlanta, where it is a training ground for cops.
Okay.
And these radical leftists, I think one of them took a shot at one of the cops, shooting at him, and then there was a shooting, there were arrests, and then Antifa got all mad.
And so over the weekend, Saturday night in particular, Antifa was setting cop cars on fire, and some of them were found with explosives.
And of course, CNN and MSNBC, they reported mostly peaceful protests.
But the Atlanta cops know that it wasn't peaceful at all.
It was a war zone.
Now back to the vaccine.
I forgot to mention this.
This showed up over the weekend at Revolver.News.
Elon Musk finally comes clean about damage the COVID-19 vaccine did to him and his family.
So apparently over the weekend, Elon Musk tweeted and responded to a tweet by Scott Adams saying, You know, the creator of the Dilbert cartoon, Scott Adams, had initially been vaccinated, and apparently he has come to the realization that the vaccines are a mistake because Scott Adams is tweeting out some, you know, very much red pill kind of information.
Well, he's a red pill kind of guy, you know, overall.
I like Scott Adams, a smart guy.
Well, Elon Musk was replying to him.
And he said the following, Elon did, quote, I had major side effects from my second booster shot.
Felt like I was dying for several days.
Hopefully no permanent damage, but I don't know.
And my cousin, who is young and in peak health, had a serious case of myocarditis, had to go to the hospital.
Yeah, Elon.
Didn't you know the globalists were supposed to get the saline shots?
You know, it's one thing to question the judgment of someone like Trump for pushing the vaccines, but we also need to question the judgment of anybody who kept taking the boosters.
Like, Elon here says he took a second booster shot.
Really?
How long did it take you to wake up, man?
I mean, come on.
Elon should know.
You know, he's rubbed elbows with these globalist types from time to time.
Surely he knows there's a global depopulation agenda underway.
Do you think Elon really took the vaccine, or is he just making this up as a story?
I honestly don't know.
I just, I can't believe that Elon Musk took the vaccine.
You can bet that Kissinger didn't take it.
That dude's still alive and kicking.
He's not taking vaccines.
He's getting ambrosia transfusions from, you know, youngins, as we say.
Yeah, that's not even a joke.
The globalists who are really in the know, they know how to stay alive and healthy for a long, long time, right?
They eat organic, they actually get young blood transfusions, and they don't take these vaccines.
So I don't know why Elon took the vaccine.
Blows my mind.
Speaking of globalists and depopulation events, there's a story from Valiant News.
Panelists predict catastrophic cyber event at World Economic Forum.
One of the panelists says a catastrophic cyber event is all but certain within the next two years.
This is from Jeremy Juergens, the WEF Managing Director and Head of the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
And he's quoting his Global Security Outlook Report 2023.
And he says, we're here today to share the findings of this report.
The most striking finding that we found is that 93% of cyber leaders and 86% of business leaders believe that the geopolitical instability makes a catastrophic cyber event likely in the next two years.
Well, of course it's likely in the next two years they are going to set it off.
This is exactly the same way that Bill Gates and other globalists, they could predict COVID. How do they predict it?
How do they know it's going to happen?
Because they built it.
These people built it.
And then they released it.
Yeah, they always run a simulation and then the simulation comes through.
So now they're telling you It's almost certain there's going to be a catastrophic cyber event.
This is from the WEF, folks.
They're basically telling you what they're going to do.
So how big would this cyber event be?
Well, WEF founder Klaus Schwab said, quote, a frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack would bring to a complete halt the power supply, transportation, hospital services, and our society as a whole.
And he continues, the COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.
So the power grid goes down, he says.
Transportation goes down.
Hospital.
Society.
Well, yeah, banking.
Banking and finance.
And probably the internet as well.
So COVID-19 would be a small disturbance compared to a major cyber attack.
Well, isn't a major cyber attack exactly the cover they need to pull off their Great Reset?
You know, collapse the global debt, the fiat currency system?
Or just have another emergency martial law, gun confiscation?
You know, whatever they want.
So when I talk about off-grid solutions...
Off-grid power solutions, off-grid money, which is gold and silver and things like that.
Off-grid self-defense, which is having your own firearms and knowing how to use them.
Off-grid solutions.
This is what I'm talking about.
A major cybersecurity event is coming.
A major cyber attack.
It could be a false flag.
It could be blamed on Russia or North Korea or China, even.
Or it could be real.
It could really be pulled off by Russia and China.
But they're going to bring a U.S. society to its knees, almost certainly.
I mean look, the FAA had a total collapse, what, a week ago?
And that was even without an attack, apparently.
I mean, if you believe the official story, that was just FAA knuckleheads putting the wrong configuration file in the root folder or something.
And then the whole system went down.
Imagine how fragile the system is if somebody like Russia is actually trying to attack it.
Truth be told, the U.S. cyber infrastructure is ridiculously vulnerable.
I mean, you know, a ridiculous number of government passwords are one, two, three, four, five, six.
And then the more advanced government passwords are adding a seven, eight, nine.
You know, that's how crazy it is.
Or they put their passwords, they write them down on a sticky note and put it on the monitor where some other camera in the room can view it.
And then someone hacks the camera, gets the password, hacks that system.
Boom, they're in.
Next thing you know, ah, there's no power grid.
How did that happen?
Hey, we're about to jump into the big stories today, but I forgot to ask you, sorry if I was being rude, how was your weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Did you get things done that are important for what's coming?
Because it's, I was thinking to myself, you know, these are the good times right now.
These are the good times compared to what's coming.
I did a lot of important organization and prepping over the weekend.
And let me just share a couple of things with you here.
It's important to be able to protect your equipment and tools and power tools and knives and whatever else from moisture.
That's really critical.
And, you know, if you lose the power grid and you lose air conditioning, you also lose humidity control.
And so in a lot of parts of the country, especially in central Texas where I am, there's a lot of humidity that creeps in and it'll rust your tools, you know, shovels and screwdrivers and wrenches and everything if you don't protect them.
But it'll also rust away your power tools and things like that.
Now, power tools are really great off-grid items because you can charge them with one of those solar generators like the EcoFlow devices that I mentioned from our sponsor from time to time.
But you can put out a solar panel, you can collect electricity, and then you can charge the batteries for your favorite power tools, DeWalt or Makita or Milwaukee or Atlas or whatever, whatever your power tool brand happens to be.
But it's important to be able to store tools and not just power tools, but other types of tools, knives and so on, in kind of an airtight, waterproof container.
Right?
An airtight, waterproof container.
So, I took it upon myself over the weekend to test out A couple of the brands of these waterproof containers, which are really considered kind of tool organizers for professionals or for your garage.
And I took a look at two different brands of these storage containers I don't know, their storage and their mobility systems for holding a lot of tools and doing so in an airtight, watertight kind of way.
I'm not going to go into much detail on this, but just to tell you briefly, I tested DeWalt and Craftsman and Milwaukee.
And Milwaukee has a system called the Packout system.
If you go online, you can see it.
And I tested DeWalt, which has a tough system.
And then I tested Craftsman brand, which I think is just a cheap system.
Anyway, all these systems, and there are others out there, they claim to keep your tools safe and let you pack them up and stack them and roll them around on wheels and everything.
The Milwaukee product is just hands down the best.
So it's called Milwaukee Packout.
It's red.
And the Milwaukee tools are all really high-end tools.
I'm actually a fan of the Milwaukee tools, too, because I like very high-end tools.
DeWalt, their tough system.
It was horrible.
The hinges broke the very first time I tried to close the lid.
It just snapped off part of the hinge.
And by the way, when you stack DeWalt systems versus Milwaukee systems, the Milwaukee systems have all this surface area of the different modules that you're stacking on top of each other.
They're highly, highly secure.
The DeWalt system, not secure at all.
And also the DeWalt system, it's just, it's called the TUF system.
It's not really that good.
The manufacturing tolerances aren't very good.
It's loud when you shut the clamp on it, and when you clamp it, it's like this giant loud snap, and it's like, man, really?
DeWalt just doesn't do anything right with their system.
Milwaukee does everything right.
So if you're looking, the reason I mention this, if you're looking for something to store your hardware, your power tools, something that's pretty modular and very portable and very, very rugged, frankly, just go to the Milwaukee Packout system.
Don't buy them on Amazon.
Go to your local hardware store and buy them.
I think Home Depot carries them.
You can go online and get them at Ace Hardware.
I think that's acehardware.com and other places.
Don't buy them from Amazon.
They're overpriced there.
But Milwaukee is the way to go, so I'm actually buying up more of these Milwaukee units myself to pack up stuff that I want to make sure does not get, you know, humid or doesn't rust or doesn't oxidize from the humidity in the air.
Actually, it's not a bad solution for storing ammo either, you know, for the same reason.
But if you have a good ammo box, it should already be airtight in the first place.
But if you have loose ammo or like 50 round ammo boxes, you could consider putting them into something like this.
And by the way, I do think that power tools will be one of the barterable items in, well, in the scenario that we're about to experience.
Because I think we're going to be in World War III very, very soon.
We're going to talk about that here today with Germany and the tanks and everything.
But I think as part of that war, when Russia attacks NATO with kinetic weapons and possibly at some point thermobaric weapons or even nuclear weapons, depending on the escalation, I think that China will engage in a trade war with the United States at the same time.
and they will halt a lot of exports.
And when that happens, it will be impossible to get power tools, by the way.
And without power tools, you can't repair things.
Well, it's more difficult.
To do it by hand takes a lot more time.
So power tools and power tool batteries and systems to charge them, like the EcoFlow system, the off-grid charging with the solar panels, I think, frankly, it's priceless.
If you want to get those EcoFlows, of course, our sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store, has them at sat123.com.
So just check out those folks if you're interested.
And be sure to buy the extra solar panels themselves.
Oh, and isn't there a discount?
There is a discount code.
Is it Mike2023?
I'm literally guessing.
I think...
I think the code is Mike2023 gets you 10% off those things through the end of January.
I'm pretty sure that's the code.
Try it.
Mike2023.
10% off.
And they already have decent prices there anyway.
I've got to send a note to Tina on there, you know, hey, make the discount code Ranger, right?
So it's just the same code everywhere because I can't keep track of all these different codes.
Just make it Ranger.
Or if anybody from there is listening, make another code.
Just call it Ranger.
That's much easier for all of us.
Thank you.
All right.
First big news item of the day.
And I first saw this over the weekend at brighteon.social.
And so I want to thank the user there, TwistedEagle.
Who posted this on Brighteon.Social.
Their channel is at TwistedEagle.
And from there, we were able to confirm it on Cointelegraph.com.
Here it is.
Binance's Swift banking partner set to ban U.S. dollar transfers below 100K. Now, Binance, of course, is one of the giant crypto hubs.
And Swift, of course, is the international clearinghouse of transactions.
And Russia was deplatformed from SWIFT March of last year.
And that set off the economic doom of Western Europe.
Even though, of course, the Western countries were trying to punish Russia, it ended up just punishing Western Europe.
But now the SWIFT system apparently is banning Binance transactions that are under $100K. Well, what does that mean?
Why are they doing this?
And this is going to happen starting February 1st.
So Binance is basically saying that you can't use Binance to transfer money to other people in other countries, what have you, if it's under $100K because the Swift system won't allow it.
So that eliminates 99% of Binance's customers, maybe more than that.
And Binance announced this to its entire user base via email over the weekend, saying that they're, quote, actively seeking a new SWIFT partner to avoid service disruptions.
Please be advised that until we are able to find an alternative solution, you may not be able to use your bank account to buy or sell crypto with U.S. dollars via SWIFT with a value of less than $100,000 after February 1st, 2023.
Oh, but you can still buy crypto with credit cards, they say.
Yeah, but you have to pay extra.
So you got that?
What is happening here, folks?
Well, the Western global financial system is, of course, waging war against crypto.
And why are they doing that?
Well, because they're about to announce their own system, probably sometime this year.
And so not only are Western countries trying to deplatform Russia and carry out economic warfare against China, but trying to take out crypto because they themselves, Western central banks and globalist leaders, are going to roll out Fed bucks or whatever it is, and they're going to try to force you into their system, the system that they control.
So this is part of the economic warfare against we the people.
And it's also happening in the context of what we've covered here, which is that China and India and Brazil and Russia and so on look like they're going to release this new commodities-backed global reserve currency system.
You know, the BRICS plus nations and how they're going to overthrow the petrodollar status and global dollar hegemony.
This is coming.
And so now we're starting to see high-level banking and finance wars taking place.
And I've likened this to Godzilla doing battle with a giant alien transformer or something in a city.
And Godzilla is stomping around.
Rawr!
And then all the shrapnel from crumbling buildings and so on is falling on you and me.
And you and I are just walking down the sidewalk, you know, trying to like, can I keep my lunch money and buy a sandwich?
You know, we're just trying to get by with our little jobs and little paychecks.
But the Godzillas of the finance world are up there fighting and just destroying everything.
But the fallout is hitting all of us.
So if you have money in crypto, it's headed towards zero, especially with Genesis filing for bankruptcy.
Binance may be next in the bankruptcy space.
I mean, we'll talk to John Perez and see what he thinks.
That's coming up here in a few minutes.
But it's not looking good, folks.
That's for sure.
So when I posted on social media about this today, I said...
Binance has been cut off from the SWIFT International Transaction System for all settlements under 100K that involve US dollars.
This is the iceberg that rips a hole in the Titanic.
I mean, that's my opinion.
If the international payments system goes to war with crypto, then one of the key advantages of crypto, that is, quick international settlements, evaporates.
Now, I'm referring to the onboarding and offboarding between US dollars and crypto.
Now, obviously, you can still send crypto in crypto to somebody else somewhere else.
But onboarding and offboarding in dollars using wire transfers, which, of course, almost all Western banks use the SWIFT system.
Well, that's going to be no longer allowed unless you're wiring over $100,000.
But how many people are wiring $100,000 to buy crypto?
Especially since your bank will probably stop you from doing that or question you or pressure you.
If you're out there wiring six figures to a crypto company, your bank is going to have some major questions for you.
They may just freeze that whole transaction and wait for you to tell them five times that you really want to do it.
So this is putting a major roadblock in the conversion between dollars and crypto.
So as I mentioned earlier, it's pretty clear that the Western financial system is declaring war against crypto.
But at the same time, and this is a pretty odd story, the U.S. government is also bailing out the crypto industry in an odd way.
Specifically, and this is from Cointelegraph.com, the United States Federal Home Loan Bank System, the FHLB, Is lending billions of dollars to two of the largest cryptocurrency banks in an effort to mitigate the effects of a surge of withdrawals.
And this was actually reported by the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal article published on January 21st says crypto banks borrow billions from home loan banks to plug shortfalls.
And it's talking about Signature and Silvergate and how they're turning to government-chartered lenders after customer withdrawal surge.
Folks, do you realize what this means?
It means the collapse of crypto is going to spill over into the home loan market.
That's right.
These are cascading, contagion-like domino effects.
Crypto was supposed to be its own universe, and when crypto collapsed or boomed, either one, it wasn't supposed to drag along the home loan financing or home loan banks or dollar banks or whatever.
Now, we're seeing that it's actually spilling over.
So the FHLB is a consortium of 11 regional banks, this is from the story, across the United States that provide funds to other banks and lenders.
The system has $1.1 trillion in assets.
That's a lot.
And over 6,500 members.
They lent nearly $10 billion to Signature Bank in the last quarter of 2022, you know, just as FTX was collapsing, making it one of the largest borrowing transactions by a bank in recent years.
Unbelievable.
And then the second bank to request funds from the FHLB was Silvergate, which received at least $3.6 billion in the last quarter of 2022.
Silvergate experienced significant outflows of deposits and was trying to maintain cash liquidity.
The net loss attributable to common shareholders in that period summed up to $1 billion.
So in other words, I'm not going to go through all the details here, but in other words, the home loan banks are bailing out.
The crypto banks.
And why are the crypto banks needing bailouts?
Because of the collapse of FTX. Why did FTX collapse?
Because, well, Three Arrows Capital Collapse, and largely because it was all a Ponzi's camp.
That's why.
Because Sam Bankman and others were just inventing tokens and then assigning them value and claiming they were billionaires, which, you know, I made fun of that for years.
Remember my...
I nailed it in that animation.
Explain exactly what Sam Bankman-Fried was doing.
Or scam Bankman-Fraud.
Just making up coins and then claiming they have all this value.
So, yes, a massive implosion is here.
And it is going to spread to Binance.
It's already spread to Genesis.
They just declared bankruptcy.
It may spread to Gemini.
It will likely spread to Tether at some point.
And it looks like it's going to spread to home lending financial institutions, the home loan banking system.
Just at the same time that home purchases are collapsing across the country due to rising interest rates.
Remember, December year over year was down, what, 34% nationwide in terms of number of new home sales.
So this is not looking very rosy, folks.
The crypto collapse is accelerating.
And the banking system collapse looks to be dragged into this at the same time.
And again, we're going to talk to John Perez here quickly, but check this out.
Russia and Iran discuss using stablecoin backed by gold for foreign trade.
This is from...
24-7 WallStreet.com, article by Tim Freeze.
Russia and Iran are in talks to launch a joint gold-pegged stablecoin that would be used as a payment method for settling foreign trade, a Russian news outlet reported on Monday.
This would be a new cryptocurrency enabling cross-border transactions, and it would replace the U.S. dollar and even the Russian ruble.
A gold-pegged stablecoin, folks.
Why do you think China has been buying up all this gold?
Why are the central banks around the world, at least outside Western countries, buying up all this gold?
Because they're going to launch a gold-backed stablecoin.
And when they do, Tether is probably going to implode.
And, by the way, so will the dollar.
And when you have Saudi Arabia saying we're going to sell oil in currencies other than the dollar, well, that means the dollar is going to lose its luster.
And it's not difficult to see where this is going.
You're going to have a new global world reserve currency system and a gold-backed stablecoin crypto type of system run by China, Russia, India.
And these other participating countries, probably Iran, too.
Probably South Africa.
Maybe Brazil will see.
Turkey will be involved, no doubt.
This is going to be huge.
And the dollar is going to be a history in this, especially when Western countries keep cutting everybody off from SWIFT. Isn't that just the same thing as saying, hey, don't use our platform?
Don't use SWIFT? Well, if you cut off Russia from SWIFT and everybody still wants to buy Russian energy and Russian commodities and Russian aluminum and fertilizer and whatever, then they're going to find a way to engage in transactions.
And they've built it, and they're about to roll it out.
Gold-backed stablecoin.
Let me ask you a question.
Would you trust...
A gold-backed stablecoin run by Russia and China over a fiat currency dollar backed by nothing, which would be the U.S. dollar?
There's a question for you.
Would you trust a gold-backed stablecoin from Russia and China over Bitcoin?
Because Bitcoin's backed by nothing.
You know, I've often said...
That the only crypto that I would really support long term would be a crypto backed by gold and silver.
Remember that?
I've said it many times.
Little did I know that that was going to be launched by Russia and China and BRICS nations.
It seems.
I mean, I guess we'll see.
There are some other attempts at that, by the way, that have been launched by other Western groups and organizations, but nothing that has achieved real critical mass and usability and all of that.
But an international clearinghouse transactional crypto backed by gold would be a game-changer.
All right, I tell you what, let's go to the interview with John Perez, because I think you're really going to enjoy our discussion.
The sponsor for today's episode is the Treasure Island Precious Metals and Coins Company.
And you can reach them at metalswithmike.com should you want to get physical gold and silver in your hands.
Discreetly, securely, and at an outstanding value with very competitive pricing.
Let's check it all out at metalswithmike.com and that's the company that I use for physical gold and silver acquisition and stacking.
Which is awesome to have right now as gold and silver prices continue to climb.
I'm going to ask John Perez about gold and silver as well.
So let's go to John Perez now and I'll have more comments on the other side and we'll get to the final news headlines of the day about Germany and tanks and Ukraine and all that.
So here we go.
Full interview with John Perez, known as the Crypto Nostradamus.
All right, welcome to this kind of emergency interview when the news broke that Binance was being essentially mostly deplatformed from the SWIFT international clearinghouse system in terms of U.S. dollar transactions at least.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, you know, great to be back.
Happy New Year.
Happy Lunar New Year, Year of the Rabbit.
So good to hear your voice again.
And yeah, this is a big, big monster story here.
Being deplatformed by SWIFT at the world's largest exchange here.
Once again, the crypto conspiracy coming true.
We said 99% would vanish forever.
Bitcoin be wrecked.
There's going to be a lot happening here.
This is a big, big deal.
This is the big kahuna.
I mean, this is the Titanic right now staring at the iceberg that they can't turn around and avoid.
I agree.
This is so huge.
We've got so many angles to cover here and so little time.
But let me just bring people up to speed in case they're just tuning in.
Over the weekend, Binance announced to their own customers that their Swift partner, in other words, their Swift banking partner that handles all transactions through Swift, which would be, for example, international wire transfers, have told them that they will not be able to international wire transfers, have told them that they will not be able to process any transactions in U.S. dollars in or out of Binance for amounts under $100,000
And you can imagine that's basically getting deplatformed in the way that the West deplatformed Russia, if you think about it, right?
It cut off Russia from Swift.
So the Western banking system is panicking.
Is that how you see this too, John?
Yeah, absolutely.
In fact, it's almost as if they're corralling the entire retail sector.
In fact, this is really...
It's kind of a half...
It's kind of interesting.
You've got to look at it two ways.
If you're under $100,000...
You were not going to be able to exchange your money in Binance.
Well, that leaves the big whales.
They're free to just do whatever they want.
They can move money around, sell on Binance, while they literally crushed the entire retail sector by taking out the $100,000 or less position there for these people to exchange their money out.
But they kept the big whales.
They still got it made.
So it's one of those George Carlin deals.
You know, it's a big club, and you ain't in it if you're under $100,000.
Well, you're exactly right.
But I want to be clear, too, that our audience understands this fully.
If you have coins in Binance, you can still, of course, send Bitcoin or other tokens to other people.
But the problem is this announcement destroys the on-ramps and the off-ramps, right?
Right.
So you won't be able to...
Sell your tokens and then get a wire of dollars, nor to spend dollars and buy tokens, unless you're going to buy over $100,000.
But John, you know this as well as I, your local bank, if you say, oh, I'm going to wire $100,000 to buy crypto, your local bank is going to say, uh-uh, we're not going to let you do that.
You need to come in and prove to us that you're not being held at gunpoint or something.
Oh, yeah.
And, you know, this basically puts the big crimp on the retail investor.
And this is also going to send – the shockwaves are going to begin.
I mean, the first people that are just – there's probably 20, 30, 40, maybe 50 percent are finally going to say, okay, FTX – All these exchanges, I'm done.
I'm out.
I can't take this anymore.
I mean, what's next?
Binance Swift.
I mean, there's people that are going to put their hands up in the air and say, I'm out.
Because the next shoe to drop is going to be completely when they criminalize Cashing out your Bitcoin.
And I have the video to the Congressional Banking Committee saying that they've already got an act, an international act, to criminalize Bitcoin so they cannot cash out.
So I think that this has got more to go.
This is the first stage, and they're slowly moving people in.
Into what I think there's going to be another final coin out there, but this is a severe psychological hit to the entire retail industry.
I mean, the retail investor out there, the retail crypto investor, and Hodler is just going to say, wow, I'm nobody.
It's like, you know, and it's going to go back to the argument.
Oh, you know, well, you know, the Federal Reserve, they've lost, you know, the dollars are printing, you have no control, Bitcoin and crypto is the way to go.
Yes, there's some benefits to it, but now suddenly...
The Hodler is experiencing what it's like to be in 1933 when they decided, we're going to buy your gold off you at a fixed price.
You know, if we're heading into that direction here.
Well, the Hodlers, yeah, are getting completely screwed.
And also, of course, Genesis just declaring bankruptcy.
So the question is, anybody who had assets in Genesis, but frankly, anybody who still had assets on a crypto exchange, They kind of had this coming.
You know what I mean?
You should have got your coins off those exchanges long ago.
The warning signs have been there.
But that just happened.
Genesis went down.
DCG looks like they may be in trouble.
Binance is obviously potentially next on the list.
But then, yeah, Gemini, obviously.
And then the big one, John, Tether.
Oh my goodness.
It's like the coin that would never die.
I'm starting to realize that Tether is the hydra.
Tether and Bitcoin are the hydra.
I personally believe that when Tether goes, the entire NASDAQ is going to go with it because so many people have leveraged their stock against their crypto and their crypto against their stock.
And I believe that the NASDAQ is going to feel that.
We've still got Evergrande we talked about a year ago.
They have kicked this can, dragged it as far out, and it's just hard to believe it's still going.
I got a story for you on this, John.
I just sent you a text there in the chat.
I just sent you the link.
It's in the chat if you want to bring it up.
Here it is.
U.S. home loan banks lent billions of dollars to crypto banks.
So Signature Bank and Silvergate borrowed over $13 billion from the federal home loan system, which is called the Federal Home Loan Bank System, FHLB. They lent $13 billion to these crypto firms.
So, John, you just nailed it.
When crypto goes down, there are going to be losses that flood into the home lending system.
Banking system of the federal government.
Do you see that?
Yeah, this is so shocking.
This is so shocking because we've got the U.S. using quasi-Federal Reserve money to support crypto, which is backed by nothing.
And the banks that they're supporting, it was the Silvergate Bank.
These banks have nothing backing it.
So you can see now, the corruption at the Federal Reserve at the regulatory level now has now exceeded all expectations.
I mean, this is less...
We're worse than a third world country here.
We are literally...
I don't know how to describe this.
I mean, this is literally a pyramid scheme gone completely mad that they're using...
How's federal housing money?
I mean, this is the equivalent of all the mortgage companies that wrote all these bad loans and some of them got bailed.
They let them go, remember?
They let them go at the cliff, but they sent money to the banks.
But here they're sending money to crypto banks that have nothing backing them.
No FDIC, but this is FDIC money here.
This is a threat to the entire banking system here.
And I got to say, this is something that caught my attention.
The date of February 1st, 2023, that is going to be the day that you will not be able to use your bank account to buy or sell crypto with U.S. dollar and SWIFT if it's less than $100,000.
That happens to be the same day, February 1st, 2023, that the Russian oil decree kicks in.
And Russia is going to, I believe that there's going to be a rug pull in the oil sector with China, Russia.
And I think there's some relationship here.
This is a major day, the Russian oil decree, but this housing story here, the United States home loan banks lending billions of dollars to two, the two largest cryptocurrency banks after all these.
And this is the same bank that gave money to FTX, Sam Bankman Fried.
Oh my goodness, I just want to cry.
Sam Bankman Fraud Yes.
I mean, there were supposed to be firewalls in this system, right, to stop the Titanic from sinking.
You're supposed to have bulkheads, but of course, they weren't built high enough.
And FTX was, I guess, the iceberg that ripped a hole in the side of this.
And now the damage is flooding from one chamber to the next underneath the waterline and just sinking this whole thing.
But even the traditional banking system now has massive exposure.
Frankly, probably unknown levels of exposure because how many people will sell stocks in order to meet their leverage obligations in crypto as the crypto fall continues?
Well, and this money here was destined for housing loans, so now housing is already, you know, in a debt spiral.
Now people are going to go in for money.
It's like, that money's gone.
Where did it go?
It went to crypto backed by nothing.
In fact, it went to literally...
The bank that received all of FTX deposits was Silvergate Bank and they got the money here.
This has so much...
It's almost like the rats are jumping ship and they're saying, where do we put the money?
Where do we put it?
Put it in Silvergate.
Put it in Silvergate.
Then what?
You know?
Well, remember that money disappeared?
I think...
I have to say this.
This is...
We have surpassed There's any type of criminal and corrupt behavior here because you look at the regulators here.
Who's regulating the SEC? Gary Gensler, who regulated what?
The CFTC, who was part of the Silver Sia, destroying the price of silver.
And he had a relationship with FTX and Sam Bankman fried here.
I mean, this is just...
The end of the U.S. dollar is at hand.
I mean, we are looking at the spike of gold and silver.
There's nowhere else to go.
Once this goes, it's going to take down the banking system as well as the stock market, and there's going to be one place left.
And you know what I know?
It's going to be that life jacket called gold and silver.
Yeah, exactly.
Actually, speaking of gold, check out this headline.
I just sent you the link from 24-7 Wall Street.
Russia and Iran discuss using stablecoin backed by gold for foreign trade.
So they're going to launch a gold-pegged stablecoin.
Imagine kind of like an honest version of Tether backed by gold where they can't just counterfeit it.
And this is going to be run by Russia and Iran.
You can bet China is going to be involved, probably India, probably Turkey, probably Brazil, and so on.
Who is going to want to trade in the fiat currency debt dollar?
If you want to buy oil from Russia and you can use a stablecoin backed by gold, you have virtually no risk.
Yeah, and both are...
I mean, these are two oil-rich nations, and of course, people...
You've got China, who's been loading up with gold.
In fact, it's funny you say this.
I didn't think he'd bring this up, but in the first two weeks of February, I'm expecting the first gold oil transaction between China and Russia and China and Saudi Arabia.
I just did a show on this last night, and I talked about the alliance between Russia and Iran as well as there was just a deal for this week.
This week, Syria has made a deal with Iran, which is moving all their weapons into Syria to basically confront Israel.
Israel is already doing their drills to bomb Iranian nuke plants.
This is going to be like your windshield gets hit by a rock and it just turns into a spider here.
This is amazing.
I'm expecting, though, in the first two weeks of February, after the Russian oil decree kicks in here, We're going to see the deep platforming of the U.S. petrodollar in the Midwest, and that may be what is triggering this swift departure from Binance, is that they know the rug is being pulled on the petrodollar February 1st.
Iran, Russia, China, Goldback Yuan, Goldback Rubble, sorry.
Hey, wait a second.
We're going to get screwed in the oil.
Let's just get rid of this.
Get rid of these freaking retail crypto guys.
Keep the big boys 100,000 up.
Screw the little guy.
Why?
Because we've got bigger problems over here that are brewing between Russia, China, and Iran.
This was new.
I was not aware of the story here.
Thank you.
You're not kidding.
I just sent you another link, but let me bring this in since you brought it up.
You're actually nailing it.
Check this out from Yahoo News.
Germany won't keep Poland from sending Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
So...
Leopard 2 tanks are German main battle tanks, right?
And so far, Germany has said to Poland, you can't send our tanks to Kiev because we don't want to get freaking nuked by Russia, right?
Well, now, remember, and they fired Germany's defense minister, or she resigned, or whatever, what have you, like a week ago.
Now...
She's at exit stage left.
Yeah, she's like, I'm getting out of here before the nukes fall.
And now they're like, oh yeah, go ahead and send the Leopard 2 main battle tanks.
Do you realize that we are now walking into a repeat of World War II? That's right.
Where, by the way, Berlin got bombed into nothing and many other German cities.
And do you realize, folks, that when Russia launches nukes, they won't be nuking Kiev.
They'll be nuking Berlin.
They'll be nuking London, Paris, Warsaw, and probably Washington, D.C. Your thoughts?
Yes, I'll tell you right now.
I'll be the first one to report this in the news right now, because this is right down my alley here.
The Russians are going to announce hypersonic, the first time ever, hypersonic Conventional and nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles, submarine-launched here, and their first targets are going to be Finland,
Sweden, and Denmark and the Baltic states for joining NATO. They're going to have air-launched hypersonic nuclear missiles, sea-launched hypersonics, and submarine-launched, as well as land-based missiles.
This is part of their strategy.
They're going to be pointing these things at Finland and And Sweden here.
That is coming.
It's not in the news yet.
You opened up Pandora's box here because I know exactly what's coming here.
The launch time, the departure time from Belarus to Russia to NATO headquarters or Berlin, it's four to six minutes nuclear or hypersonic.
What's happening here is that the Germans in Poland They're following into the footsteps of Napoleon and Hitler and Operation Barbarossa.
They are repeating history.
But if you look at these people that are making these decisions, they're kids.
They have no background in history.
And they all seem to be great for the camera at the Davos conference.
And in my opinion, they launched the WEF and Davos line that we're going to go full Operation Barbarossa on Russia.
And Russia's moving quickly to make a deal with China and Russia.
And I think this Binance thing, as big as the story as it is, it's really kind of a collateral damage of the SWIFT bankers saying, wait, we got bigger problems over here.
You've got Poland.
Poland is going to move all their tanks here.
But Poland, I believe, has made a deal with Russia to take Western Ukraine, In a wink-wink, deal-deal.
Now, how does equipment land?
Will it get bombed at the border coming into Ukraine?
Or will it be allowed to come to the front lines then taken out because the Iranians are using their drones, the Russians are using their kamikaze drones, and they are getting absolute limitless value of these weapons being tested out there on these modern targets here.
And that data is priceless.
So people said, well, you think they're going to stop them?
I said, no.
I said, why is it?
Because these military industrial complex people, both in Russia and Iran, they want the data.
They want to test their weapons.
They want to refine them.
And what better place when we got Westerners dropping tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, and you got the big story I think is going to be when the Patriot missile comes into Ukraine.
The Russians do not see the Patriot as an anti-ballistic missile.
They see a U.S. Patriot as an offensive potential nuclear weapon that can be converted from a conventional warhead to a nuclear warhead.
And this is important.
This is a story you will never hear on the news, but the Russians have stated this in the past.
And that's why when you see the Patriot come to this area here, in that area, it is going to expand and Russia is going to bring the big Russian hammer.
They are not going to screw around.
They are going to dump on that Patriot.
That'll be big news when you see that.
Just to clarify, because what you just said, I've never heard that, and it needs clarification.
Are you saying that the Russians believe that the Patriot missile system can be reconfigured basically as a long-range missile artillery type of system?
Yes, they believe that it can be converted to a nuclear weapon that can be launched into the sky because it's an anti-ballistic counter-missile battery, but it can be used as an EMP weapon in the sky.
So, you know, even though it's launched – and I've read – I mean, this is not – this is the generals.
This is not some – you know, this was not some writer.
The generals believe this.
And if you read the response – and I'm constantly monitoring Russian military media.
The Russians, they're not messing around.
They are talking – they are – I've seen that, but...
Well, I agree.
I think this is going to total war.
It's financial war.
It's economic war.
It's kinetic war.
It's all of that.
And I think what we're seeing with the SWIFT system is part of it.
I also think that China is going to cut off exports to the United States when they do an embargo, a naval embargo of Taiwan at some point.
And I think that there will be a global announcement of abandonment of the petrodollar.
Not just the Saudis, but 100 plus other countries will announce, we're no longer going to carry through the dollar hegemony, the petrodollar monopoly.
We're going to trade in every currency that's viable.
That's what the Saudis just said.
And as this is happening, I think Russia...
Hits NATO targets.
That's what I, because why wouldn't they?
NATO has proven that they can't be reasoned with, they will not negotiate, and they can't be trusted on any treaties.
There's no point in Russia negotiating with NATO on anything, not that NATO is even willing to negotiate.
So this is headed for the worst escalation imaginable.
I agree with you 100%.
I'm a firm believer that NATO headquarters is a legitimate target for Moscow.
I've always told people, you know, never underestimate Russian intelligence and their ability to gather intelligence on what they're doing.
The fact that they put up anti-aircraft missile batteries on their buildings, whether it's propaganda for show or media, it's typical of the Russians.
But what amazes me about this...
Is that I just went through a two-hour documentary on Napoleon attacking Moscow.
And I thought, how is it that here we are in 2022, and here the Russians are building defenses against NATO and Napoleon again?
And it was Hitler who was a great fan of Napoleon.
Man, we are literally living in historical times, Mike, to see history repeat like this here.
But I think, you know...
Yeah, well, I keep wondering, how many times is Germany going to destroy Europe?
That's my question.
Because, okay, I mean, yeah, so France did it once.
Germany has destroyed the continent at least twice that we know of.
Now they're trying to do it a third time with the main battle tanks.
Do the people of Berlin realize that their leaders just basically sacrificed them to be nuked or hit with thermobaric weapons by Russia?
Well, you know, it's kind of like living here in the United States.
It's like, none of us voted for Gavin Newsom in California, and none of us voted for Joe Biden, but somehow these guys are in play, and Joe Biden is sending U.S. tax dollars to Ukraine, and what do I see this week?
It's not in the news.
Ukraine is, they're like blowing up churches.
They're dragging people out to be drafted into war.
They're They're losing 300 to 500 people a day, and U.S. taxpayers are paying for this.
And we have no say in this.
This is just complete insanity.
It's insane.
I mean, we literally have a rogue government right now.
Yeah, for sure that's the case.
I also saw over the weekend, Moon of Alabama was reporting that it looks like Russia is moving northward from the southern front, where the southern front of Ukraine is not well defended by Ukrainian military forces because their forces are heavily focused in the northeast region of the country.
So Russia appears to be beginning to move from the south.
And as you know, it looks like Russia is set to attack Ukraine from the north, the east, and the south.
And the West can't even manufacture enough munitions to keep a supply chain to Ukraine, where the U.S. is begging Israel to send artillery rounds to Ukraine because the U.S. has run out of artillery rounds.
I mean, how are we supposed to fight this war if we don't even have ammunition anymore?
The more you look at this, it almost seems, it feels like there was a pre-negotiated demilitarization plan executed by unseen forces where, you know, the eastern part of Ukraine is where there's a colossal steel industry, an iron ore industry.
And you look at what's coming into Ukraine, you're like, this almost looks like we are shipping all this steel into Ukraine, which is going to be blown up.
And eventually used for the Ukrainian steel industry in eastern Ukraine, where all the commodities are in eastern Ukraine.
I'm a believer that western Ukraine, and in fact I know this, there's already been a deal.
Western Ukraine is going to be taken by Poland.
And the last thing that's going to be left about Ukraine is a small sliver with Kiev as part of the little country there.
It's going to be split in half.
Poland is going to take the western part.
All that steel is going to go there.
It's going to end up in Russian hands.
And the Russians are going to get just a massive amount of steel that's just blown.
I've been watching.
I've been actually monitoring the junkyards.
And they've already listed nearly 7,000 armored vehicles blown up.
7,000!
Not in the news.
Not in the news.
Just to remind our viewers and listeners here, steel can always be recycled.
I mean, you melt it down, you remove the impurities, you re-smelt it, you can make brand new battle tanks out of old steel, you know, literally, or, you know, I-beams for buildings or rebar or what have you for concrete.
Steel is steel.
You're right, John.
It's like the U.S. is shipping commodities to Russia.
This is such a deep, deep rabbit hole.
I can say this.
I did a video called GMO World Wars, and a lot of people don't know that Monsanto ended up buying what used to be called Blackwater, which became Academi.
And it was Monsanto that bought Academi, and it was Monsanto that took over all the fertile fields of planting in Ukraine, and Russia's just saying no more, because GMO's illegal there.
Well, there was already Monsanto running all these GMO fields, Planting fields out there.
That's why people...
I tell people, I said, GMO is illegal in Russia.
Russia wants the fertile lands of Western Ukraine because they knew the plan was to turn everything into a GMO farmland, not to mention all the bio labs underground out there.
And basically now, people were asking me, you know, what do you think is happening?
I said, nobody's talking about Academi and Blackwater.
I said, I mean, Monsanto bought...
Blackwater and Academa.
So technically, these private contractors are already there.
And I think a lot of these guys are just really getting...
They're really tasting a real war.
Because the United States military has been at war with third world countries.
They've never had to face a professional army that is technically so advanced.
And this is why the...
I think the kill ratio...
I think the ratio between artillery ons fired...
It's for every one artillery round fired by Ukraine, which as you said, the supply chains out there, the Russians are firing 19 artillery rounds back.
I mean, it's a total wipeout.
And I watch these videos all day and I'm like, this is not on American news here.
It's here on Telegram.
I'm like, this is just, it is the cemeteries.
As far as the eye can see, Russian, I mean, Ukrainian flags, bodies, and they're literally, they're running.
You can see these drones, you can see guys laying in the dirt.
They could just drop grenades on them and blow their legs off.
There's no place to hide.
And winter is coming.
Once the whole ground turns white, these drones are going to fly at night, and they're going to be heat-seeking, and everyone is going to be a sitting duck.
Not to mention...
There's some new electronic counter-warfare weapons that are set out there, and there's going to be a lot of new stuff coming.
And by the way, I believe that when NATO moves on Russia, I'm going to make a prediction here, Mike, it's going to be in the news.
Russia is going to black out the entire NATO AWACS advance warning systems in the air.
They're going to black out all the planes in the sky.
It's going to happen.
My prediction here, it is going to happen here.
It's going to blow people away.
People are not ready for what Russia is ready to do.
They're ready.
They're waiting.
They have the goods.
They have the toys.
Let me ask you then about how you think the deep state in America is moving against Joe Biden.
That's clear because they keep finding more classified documents.
Obviously, there are no coincidences.
This is all being done on purpose.
They're clearly trying to get rid of Joe Biden.
Do you think that that's because of, you know, World War and the things that we are talking about anticipating?
Do they need somebody as president other than Joe Biden?
And who do you suppose that might be if you have an opinion on it?
Well, Kamala Harris is not a naturalized citizen, so she's not qualified.
That puts Kevin McCarthy third in line for the presidency.
But Biden can just turn around and say, I choose Gavin Newsom, the nuisance from California, who's personal friends with Kamala Harris, to take that role.
And possibly move in, and suddenly we have an election where we've got Gavin Newsom, who stole California, going head-to-head with Donald Trump in debates, and it gets even better because Donald Jr.'s current girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is Gavin Newsom's ex-wife!
No.
What?
I'm not kidding you.
Gavin Newsom's ex-wife is Kimberly Guilfoyle, the attorney from Fox News, the commentator, but that's Donald Jr.'s girlfriend.
I mean, they've been together for a few years.
So you can imagine the debate between Trump and Newsom in 2024.
This is one scenario.
And who...
Who knows what Kimberly Guilfala has, you know, unloaded on the Trumps to give them ammunition in a debate against...
We are literally in Keystone Cops land right now.
It is getting crazy, but now I want to be mindful of your time.
We're already at about 30 minutes.
Are you still okay for a couple more minutes?
Oh, absolutely.
Yes, absolutely.
Okay.
All right.
Well, thank you for that.
And I really appreciate you joining me as a last minute.
I mean, I literally just reached out to you, I don't know, an hour ago or so and asked if you could come on, and I appreciate you.
Things are converging so quickly and they're all connected.
That's the thing.
It's not like this attack on crypto from the SWIFT system.
It's not like that is an isolated event.
It's clear that even the West is about to crash.
They want to crash crypto and then crash the dollar and then roll out their own Fed crypto.
Yes.
To control everybody and then have that as a competing system against China, Russia, gold-backed crypto.
But there's only going to be one world left standing here.
It's either going to be the East or the West.
And the West is looking like it's run by woke idiots right now, frankly.
So I'm not very optimistic about the chances of the West.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're in big, we are in big, big trouble here in the United States.
I mean, we are literally, we have lunatics, fringe lunatics running the United States and they have their finger on too many.
These people have the ability to throw us under the bus here and they already have really technically.
I think it's going to be a really bad February for people that live in a cold environment.
Because of the Russian oil decree, we're going to have natural gas and propane Armageddon.
Energy suicide is going to connect in February.
By the way, to add to this, we've got housing going off the cliff.
We've got auto loan, automotive Armageddon.
I mean, used car prices off the cliff, Armageddon.
But we've got a record Last week, $920 billion in U.S. credit, a record.
We are going to cross the $1 trillion in credit card debt sometime in February and March.
And those 90-day lates are going to come.
The reason why people are using credit not because they want to is because they have no choice.
They're running out of money.
They're out of cash.
They're using their credit cards.
They're maxing them out.
Christmas has come up.
I will tell you by the end of March, April, we are going to see credit card Armageddon in March, April here.
I mean, this is on top of the fact that we have lunatics running this country sucking the natural gas and money because you hear people with their energy bills and natural gas bills, they've doubled.
Here in California, they're going up 80%, 90%.
That's just more cash getting sucked out of people's pockets.
And I see no end to this.
The default rate on Discover card has hit some crazy percentage number.
I forgot the number, but it's like 5%.
It's really crazy high.
Way above other types of cards.
But people are defaulting On their credit card obligations like never before, and yet they're still trying to charge on their cards like never before, including groceries, just basics.
Well, I'll tell you, it's unfortunately, look, someone just sent me a picture of Eggs, $12.85 for a dozen eggs.
I mean, right now, if you're watching this show, it's time to get those chickens and get them now.
Now, the word on the street is that eggs are going to $18 to $25 a dozen.
Well, I mean...
To me, personally, I love chicks.
I love fresh eggs.
I have chickens here.
And I love fresh eggs.
But I'll tell you, I might have to go buy me about 36 or 42 more new chickens here and go into the egg business here.
This is not good.
People are going to get wiped out.
I mean, they're already locking down meat.
They're locking down food.
Now it's the eggs.
I couldn't believe it.
$12 a dozen here.
This is incredible here.
We are literally the American...
Household right now is being completely liquidated.
And this Binance thing is just another sign that they're taking out the little guy.
They are destroying Main Street America.
And of course, you know, the $100,000 are up in Binance.
You're going to be just fine.
But now the retail guy is going to get wiped out.
Now, imagine if your egg budget has gone up this much.
I mean, and you got three or four kids on scrambled eggs, you know, you got big problems here.
You're talking, you know, you're talking 50 bucks a month for, you know, just for a flat of eggs, you know, 48 eggs.
So this is really, really a big problem here.
And raw milk, I love raw milk.
$15 a gallon for raw milk here in California.
Imagine a gallon of raw milk and a dozen eggs and you're out $32, $35.
Man, it is time to learn how to start fasting.
Going to OMAD, one meal a day, fasting.
We're all going to be fasting here pretty soon, whether we like it or not.
John, you're not kidding.
The inflation is going through the roof, even while we're told that There is no more inflation, but anybody who buys anything sees that there is.
But this is just the natural result of, of course, all this money printing and the fiat currency collapse that's underway.
But even firearms are getting expensive.
I was explaining to my audience last week, I bought a Scar 17S rifle a few years ago for, I think, $2,900 or $3,000.
And now that same rifle is $4,300.
Yeah, I believe it.
I'm jealous.
I'm in California.
Oh, yeah.
They won't let you have real guns?
We can't even have pea shooters here.
We can't even look at people.
If you have common sense in California, they're going to come after you for something.
California, and this is run by Newsom.
Think about it.
If you look at what's happening in California, It is the leftist liberal commie pinko wants the rest of the United States.
They look at California as the model.
So the idea of putting Newsom in as president is dreamland for these lunatics.
Oh, we got Newsom.
He's running the number one state.
He's going to fix this and they're going to outlaw lawnmowers.
They just put 100,000 truckers out of business.
All those trucks are going to be subsidized to go to other countries.
To me, I always say that they're just basically going to send these trucks south of the border.
They're basically subsidizing the Mexican economy by putting these laws through.
It destroys the independent trucker.
And now the unions come in.
They've got all the trucks.
So the union people are going to be happy here.
So Newsom is just absolutely going scorched earth here.
We've had basically what I call a man-made weather warfare geoengineered drought.
Right.
And all the water that came in, all the rain, and guess what?
They didn't build any reservoirs to store this water.
This water's just flowing out off the couch.
So California is bleeding from all, and bleeding from the eyeballs, bleeding from the ears, bleeding from the mouth.
We are just getting whacked out here.
And in my opinion, there's a guy named Greg Rubini on Twitter.
He did a lot of homework.
He said Trump won California, and I believe that.
So to me, I think the showdown between Trump and Newsom Really, it's going to be the most exciting thing to see if we see it, if hopefully we can live that long to be around.
Yeah, if we're not glowing and living in fallout conditions at that time.
I mean, we are moving so quickly into World War III, and the thing is, what is absolutely shocking and frightening to me is that our so-called leaders, our State Department, the Biden regime, NATO leaders, and so on, They are not just incompetent, they combine this arrogance with ignorance in a way that historically is suicidal.
I mean, they're marching into war, into a land war with Russia, without ammunition.
And Russia's got the hypersonic missiles and the advanced ICBMs and the fuel air explosives and the Poseidon.
Remember the nuclear tidal waves, doomsday weapons parked off the coast?
And our State Department acts like none of that's real.
It's almost as if they want to depopulate the United States using Russian weaponry.
It's like, okay, how are we going to lower the population agenda toward 2030?
Oh, it's real simple.
Let's let Vladimir do it.
It's like that cereal commercial.
Let Mikey do it.
He'll eat anything.
Let's get Vladimir Putin to do it.
He'll do anything to defend his country here.
I mean, I shouldn't be laughing and making a joke about this, but it's kind of like my last line of defense is a good sense of humor amongst this madness.
But you're right, the Poseidon, not to mention, I'll say this, I was going to do a show on this, the Russians very soon are going to launch a nuclear-powered cruise missile that can fly indefinitely in the next few weeks.
A nuclear-powered It's a cruise missile, a nuclear bomb.
It's an unmanned drone.
It is a nuclear-powered cruise missile that can fly indefinitely.
And guess what happens if you shoot it down?
If you shoot it mid-flight, guess what happens?
You basically launch an EMP device.
Oh, we are in big trouble here in the West here.
You're not kidding.
That is a loitering, an airborne loitering system that can literally fly under nuclear power for, what, years?
They're saying indefinitely, and I'm thinking, 10 years?
Okay, I can see that.
And it is just absolutely shocking.
But this is old technology.
I did some research on this today.
And this is actually old technology that was started on in the 60s.
It fell apart when the Soviet Union fell apart.
But when we signed out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty, I think it blew out when Trump was in office.
It gave Russia the green light to say, okay, here we go.
Because they had to create it because they knew NATO was closing in on them, biolabs and everything.
And the Russians just basically, okay, we're done with you people.
You idiots here.
We're going to build Poseidon missiles.
We're going to build hypersonic nuclear.
Because you people will not leave us Russians alone because they want to steal their gold.
They want their assets and everything.
Yeah, all the commodities.
Yeah, but the West can't be trusted to keep their word on any treaty they sign, any promise they make, any diplomacy, nothing.
That's right.
The West has no credibility in any negotiation.
They've burned every bridge.
For those folks listening who are skeptical of what you just said, of an indefinitely loitering airborne cruise missile that's nuclear-powered, folks, that is absolutely true.
In fact, we reported on, years ago, one of those prototype units crashed in Russia, and that made international headlines.
And we were wondering at the time, how could it be propelled by nuclear energy?
Well, folks, U.S. Nimitz aircraft carriers are powered by nuclear power stations, and they only have to change out the nuclear fuel rods every 25 years.
So right there, you have a seaborne aircraft carrier that has enough fuel for 25 years.
Well, all that Russia did is they miniaturized that.
They made it much more high density in terms of the power output, enough to provide thrust to an airborne loitering system.
And it will probably fly for years until they need it.
And then they just direct it down.
Imagine, you know, and Russian nuclear policy has shifted.
Their policy in the past has been no first strike, but now they've shifted and changed their nuclear policy.
If they see a threat that they believe is a threat, And Vladimir Putin made a joke about this.
He said, basically, if we see something launched, we're going to launch everything.
And at the end, it's going to be, we're going to be martyrs, and they're all going to go to hell.
That's literally what he said.
They're all going to die and go to hell, and we're going to be nuclear martyrs.
And I thought, the president of Russia said this?
I know he is not kidding.
Because...
They're doing underground drills, nuclear drills with their entire population.
They have underground bunkers.
Here in America, we don't have anything here.
What do we have here?
I mean, you go in your basement, you know, and that's it.
But other than that, they don't care about us here.
As far as they're concerned, they're probably thinking, well, we'll just hide underground in our expensive bunkers, you know, blow up everything, nuke everything, and then we'll come back and inherit everything here.
But I think that...
I think the Russians in the back of their head thinking, who are we going to do?
Are we going to blow up populations?
Or should we go after deep, hidden leadership?
I said, they're going after leadership.
Why?
Because they know if 200 million Americans are dead from a nuclear war, they still got problems.
But if a couple hundred thousand deep staters running these operations against Europe, they get taken out, then their problems really come to an end.
So I believe that the Russians are targeting everything against leadership.
In fact, they've been very clear.
They really literally warned that they will go after leadership in Berlin.
That was NATO headquarters and the defense headquarters.
And they were very clear that we're not going to hurt the people.
We are going to go after leadership.
And at the end of the day, you stop and think, Well, this is definitely, you know, the decision between what is better and what's best.
Yeah, go after leadership because chances are the people in Germany are going to say, we're done with this.
We don't want to go to war.
We lost a million people in the Wehrmacht couple million during the Russian campaign in World War II. We're done losing people here.
Who are these leaders that are voted in?
These world economic foreign maniacs from Davos running our country like it's their backyard puppet.
They got their nuclear bunkers in hiding here.
So the Russians are going to say, well, how do we make a bunch of people happy?
How do we make everybody our fan?
It's very simple.
Get rid of their leadership.
If they literally took out all the deep state in the United States and Europe, the people around the world would be like, they'd be really happy.
Thank you.
You relieved us.
Yeah, a lot of people died, but, you know, we're relieved because we have no choice.
I mean, you and I have no voice on this.
Nobody has a voice.
There's no common sense in America.
All we have is maniacs running the country, you know, pedophiles.
We have Epstein still on vacation.
We got Sam Bankman fraud.
It's at home drinking Starbucks after stealing billions.
And you and I, we can't even walk down the street and say that we voted for Trump without being attacked for something here.
So we live in a backwards world here.
So Russian policy on the nuclear side of things, it's my opinion that...
Looking at what they're doing, they're hypersonic missiles that are nuclear tipped.
They are specifically reserved for leadership.
And they've got various yields, low yield, medium yield, high yield.
I believe they're using low yield nukes right now in artillery.
I really do believe that.
I'm looking at the explosions.
I'm like, these explosions.
They're incredibly powerful here, but they're just powerful.
Now they're using GPS guided artillery with GLONASS, using drones guiding these things.
There's no place to hide.
And as far as leadership goes, I think that the Russian policy is if these guys make a decision that they're going to go after us, We're going to go after them first.
So they literally have changed to more of a no first strike to yes, we will first strike here.
And at the end of the day, Mike, you and I know as citizens, as patriots, we have no interest in war.
It's these people in leadership who have no interest in justice, no interest in the living, the innocent.
They are interested in their own maniacal goals, which make no sense at all to anyone with common sense.
Wow.
Yeah, you just said a lot right there.
And I think a lot of listeners are really going to resonate with a lot of what you said.
Just in the interest of time, however, though, let me ask you.
Gold and silver.
Gold seems to be at maybe kind of a nine-month high or so, something like that right now.
Just before I let you go tonight, where do you think gold and silver are going based on the other things we just talked about?
You know, if Russia and NATO go into direct war, doesn't that mean gold is going to explode past probably 2,000 and more?
Yes.
Yes, we are ready.
We are ready after all this patience of what's happening around the world right now and what's happening around the world.
Silver right now is ready to move.
The first week of every month, the first two weeks is always solid here.
My theory has always been bombs move markets.
I don't buy in the COMEX stories.
I believe those are manipulated stories for Wall Street and people to kind of be distracted because I'm talking about, you know, I've been laying a lot of things out here.
These are logistic, massive logistics for these elements to be coming together in war.
Yet these derivative stories here, they're really used to manipulate the markets for the bankers to accumulate at the prices they want.
So what I see coming here is this.
$26.50 is our Maginot line.
Once we get past $26.50, $27, which I believe will happen in the first two weeks of March, gold is at what?
We're at $19.27.
Gold is going to go past its all-time high and head towards the $2,300 mark here.
I think it's going to start happening this week.
So, you've got all the precious, the fundamentals for precious metals have never been better.
I mean, here I am talking about all these events, nuclear weapons, nuclear war, Belarus, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, pulling the rug out from the dollar here, and gold and silver sitting still.
I don't buy it one bit here.
Right now, you've got to be in the game.
You've got to have your physical at home.
You've got to have your assets in place here.
They have manipulated and suppressed the price.
And I use this analogy all the time.
There's always that story about the canary in the coal mine.
The canary in the coal mine is just rolled over and played dead.
Well, to me, someone has snuck into the cage, pulled out the canary, and let it go, and they put a rubber duck inside there.
So how's that canary doing in the coal mine?
Oh, he's just sitting there smiling at us here.
Well, because the price of gold and silver always tell us that something's wrong.
But when you look at price of gold and silver, you say, well, there's nothing going on over there.
Everybody, let's go about our day.
And while the fake news just BS's everyone, lies, tells half-truths, and shows nothing, covers it all up.
And here I am, Brad, I could go on for hours about these things developing, and nobody's aware of it.
I think they're all connected, though, because if you think about it, Right?
Russia launches kinetic war.
And then it's in the interest at this moment for every nation in the world that is tired of being bullied by the imperial United States empire.
And we have, you know, we've unleashed economic hitmen.
We've bombed countries.
We've occupied countries, military bases all over the world.
We assassinate leaders.
We do World Bank shenanigans.
We indebt nations.
This is the legacy of the United States.
It's just wreaking havoc all around the world through dollar hegemony.
Every country in the world, it seems, except a few Western allies, wants to get out from under the thumb of the U.S. empire.
And their opportunity to do that is coming this year, it seems to me.
Yes.
I'm going to say February 1st.
The minute the Russian oil decree says no oil for any country that supports any sanctions against Russia.
That means no oil.
And this means if you're a country that says, well, we're going to buy it, but we're going to broker it to another country, you won't even be able to broker that oil.
And then you've got the Russian oil cap from Yellen who basically says any broker that buys Russian oil At less, at $60 a barrel or more, we'll have their insurance removed from them.
Well, that means there goes the oil markets, and what's going to happen here?
Russia's going to lose sales, and this is where I believe we're going to see a big problem with...
Ben Salman, I believe, is going to cut oil by 1 million to 2 million barrels.
This is going to force Russia to run oil because it's going to drop the price of oil.
These guys are going to cut back on their production, and it's going to launch gold oil.
Oil higher prices.
And then that's when you're going to see sometime in February the move between Russia and China, the gold back yuan.
And there's going to be an oil transaction there.
The rug's going to be pulled out on the petrodollar.
And we're going to see gold and oil run potentially monstrously here in the month of February.
The first week is going to be critical to watch.
It is being set up right now.
And I've been working my butt off.
And getting all my silver gold stock people, getting them ready for this.
I've been focusing on this.
I'm like, wow, nobody's talking about this.
But, you know, that's what we do here.
So I think February 1st, this Russian oil decree is no more diesel fuel.
What are you going to do?
We're going to buy Americans that we've already sold out.
And that's why the energy bills in the United States are going up so quickly, because they're already dumping the energy into Europe in anticipation for the quote-unquote inflationary reduction act, which to me is just an energy suicide policy that is being implemented.
This looks as if it's there to hurt Russia, but it hurts Main Street, just like this Swift Binance thing hurts Main Street retail investors.
It's as if the rug is being pulled out from the average American.
And it appears like it's going to hurt Russia.
But I believe Ben Salman and Russia are going to cut back on their oil in February, raise the price up.
And then you're going to see Russia, China and Ben Salman doing energy deals in new currencies, new platforms outside of Swift.
And that is going to be the big headline news in February here.
And we're leading it to.
That's February 1st.
February 24th is the one-year anniversary of the Russian special military operation into Ukraine, and we are going to see what I call the big Russian hammer.
When all these weapons come from the West into Ukraine, we are going to see Russia unleash...
You know, a level of violent campaigns against these weapons like we've never seen.
It's going to be new.
It's going to be a whole new battlefield coming up here.
So we're set up to go.
Silver and gold are on the launch pad, ready to go.
The fundamentals are perfect here.
And to me, for me personally, in my opinion, that February 1st date is a key date watching the price of silver and gold in the first two weeks of Russia, especially those first seven days here, because this is going to affect the petrodollar here.
We're literally, we're stopping buying oil.
And it's not like they're dumping the dollar.
Yellen has set up a plan saying, we're just not going to buy your oil.
We're not going to buy it.
And then Ben Salmon is an ally with Russia.
I believe that Biden is going to threaten, make some sort of threat on Saudi Arabia.
And when that threat comes, Bin Salman is going to look to Russia and say, I need a bodyguard.
They're going to look to China and say, you want to buy some more oil here?
And that's when things are really good.
That's when Bin Salman is going to strike back and say, you know what, Biden, I am done with you.
I am going to work with Vladimir Putin in Russia.
These guys got my backs and they got big armies here.
It's just as stupid.
This price cap on Russia oil being transported, it's just as stupid as cutting off Russia from the SWIFT system.
The only countries this is going to hurt are Western countries.
So you're going to have diesel shortages in the United States.
Russia will find buyers internationally.
Why?
Because every country needs oil.
End of story.
If you have a country, if you want the trains to run, even in Sri Lanka, you've got to have oil.
That's right.
So Russia's got ready buyers.
And plus, Russia can sell oil to Turkey.
Turkey can just relabel it, you know, Saudi oil and sell it to Europe.
And they will.
They will.
So it's retarded what the West is doing.
It's retarded.
But it's the American citizen or the European citizen that's going to get stomped on by these policies yet again.
Yeah, Main Street is going to take it hard here, and I just hope everyone has prepared themselves with extra food, extra energy.
We've got some major, major winter storms coming.
February is going to be Big Freeze Month, so people are going to be using up energy.
Their prices are going to go up here.
We've got credit card bills coming in here.
So my advice to everyone is to continue to prepare and defend yourselves because we have a rogue government that is enacting policies that are working against you every single day.
There's no other way around this here.
And it is best to be prepared because we don't know how far these people will go endangering our lives economically and just literally physically Because of their actions on the battlefield there in Europe here.
We don't know what they're going to do here.
And that's a...
It's a scary thought.
But, you know, maybe this may be the precipice for removing Biden.
And, you know, who are we going to throw in there?
I mean, Kamala.
I mean, we really have a lot coming down.
But again, at the end of the day, this is great for gold and silver.
I mean, the last...
Your last lifeboat getting off the Titanic is going to be gold, silver, platinum, palladium commodities.
And I say this...
I think seeds, heirloom seeds are going to be money.
Seeds are money.
Food is going to be money here.
You want to be healthy.
You want to be fasting.
You want seeds.
You want your food.
You want your backup generator.
Your backup firewood.
You got to keep getting ready.
We can talk like this all day long, but we want all our people and audience here to be ready so that no one's caught off guard with this.
It's bad.
It's really bad.
Well, John, I tell you what, if you get out of California, come to Texas, I'll let you borrow my SCAR-17 pass.
I need to shoot something of heavy caliber like that that's got big magazines so I can feel like I'm human again.
Oh, yeah.
Well, if you want something heavy caliber, we can go up from there, but you'll have a whole lot of fun shooting steel targets.
I'm going to have to take you up on that.
Yeah, you might want to get some bruise recovery ointment for your shoulder for the 50 cows that we all have out here in Texas.
Yeah.
I'm tempted.
I'm tempted now.
I'm really tempted here.
Yeah, semi-auto 50 cal Barrett's.
That's the Texas weight.
Nice.
Nice.
But all for fun, folks.
It's just for fun shooting 660 grains of lead downrange.
Yeah, it's just for fun.
No different than just throwing darts on the dartboard.
Yeah, like a mile away.
Yeah.
But anyway...
Speaking of...
Speaking of 50 caliber...
Is that what you have there?
That's silver.
50 caliber is silver.
I love it.
Isn't that cool?
That is very cool.
Nice.
Is that for shooting like monster zombies or something?
Yeah, this is for big werewolves.
Yeah.
Big werewolves and vampires.
That's expensive ammo right there.
Yeah, it is.
Actually, it was a solid silver.
It's 10 ounces of silver.
I thought, you know, bars are boring.
This is nice here.
It's a nice piece, nice paperweight.
I like it.
Plus, you can load it into like a Barrett ammo magazine and just carry it around like it's just regular ammo.
Yeah, and it's got weight to it.
It feels like...
10 ounces.
Yeah, it's a nice piece.
It is mil-spec.
The whole spec's everything.
It's spec'd out perfect.
It's an exact replica of a full caliber there.
Well, should I still call you Crypto Nostradamus or should I call you the werewolf assassin after this?
Yeah.
There's a scene out of Van Helsing, you know?
Exactly, yeah.
Where's your crossbow, man?
So, yeah, I'll tell you, this has been a great...
I'm so glad you contacted me.
Literally, I just did a show last night on literally how...
I literally did a show last night specifically on the Russian oil decree for February 1st.
The meeting with Chairman Xi.
Chairman Xi is going to announce a gold-backed yuan.
The Shanghai Gold Exchange has been shut down temporarily for a couple extra days.
They're getting ready to do a deal.
There's going to be some sort of deal in February.
Maybe the end of January, but there's going to be some sort of headline deal.
Between Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia, some sort of transaction that is going to involve gold.
And when that happens, it is going to set the world on fire.
And we are going to finally see the beginning of the disastrous downleg for gold and silver.
And by the way, to your question earlier, gold is already broken out and silver is broken out in nearly every currency worldwide except one currency left, the U.S. dollar.
That's it.
Everything else is broken out.
So I tell people, we're in, baby.
We're going up.
Just got to sit back here and enjoy the show and have some fun.
And I tell people, your investments are in place.
Double check your plan.
Can you survive a blackout for two weeks?
Can you survive no natural gas for a month?
Do you live in Michigan?
Do you live in Texas?
Do you have enough food to go for this month here?
Right now, the gold and silver investments are going to take care of themselves.
What do you have?
Do you have backup water, backup energy, extra wood, extra natural gas, you know, backup generator, little generator, big generator here.
I think these things right now are, I think these are key.
I think key to have here.
I think it's cool, too.
I think it's cool to be a prepper right now.
Nothing cooler.
Well, yeah, also very much life-saving.
But, John, it's...
Yeah, especially if you have.50 caliber silver rounds.
That's a very cool prepping thing.
I love the fact that you showed me that.
Now I'm all jealous.
I'll send you one.
I'll send you one.
Really?
No, tell me where to get those.
I'm going to have to get a couple.
Put them on my video.
But, John, thank you for spending so much time with us.
Tell people where they can follow you.
I am on Telegram.
I'm on Telegram.
So to telegram.org, download it.
It's free, and I think it's one of the greatest platforms.
It's uncensored, so it's unafraid.
So, you know, we have a great time here.
Silver is Money, and Silver is Money News, and my conspiracy channel, which is way out there, it's a big favorite channel, is called Midnight to Damascus.
I also did some big...
I used to be on real estate at realestate911, at realestate911, predicted the housing crash.
We got everything.
There's just pure housing data.
It's going off the cliff here.
But Silver's Money, it's a moderated platform.
We have about 5,500 members.
Active, it goes 24-7.
I am broadcasting nonstop.
You are, that's true.
And I get a new story and I'm on here.
So it's fun, you know, and you got a lot of huge, huge Mike Adams fans, Brideon fans.
I mean, there's we got a ton of people that Mike Adams fans and they're posting your work on here all day.
So it's great, you know, and it's we're not under the umbrella of the whole Facebook tech community here.
We're just normal red, white and blue Americans here just having a good time and speaking our mind and And it's a lot of fun.
A lot of believers on there.
A lot of God-fearing red wine.
And we're in 40 countries.
So we've got people in Asia.
Now we have Silver is Money in Asia.
We have Silver is Money in Australia.
Now we're working on Silver is Money in Europe.
Silver is Money in Northeast.
Silver is Money in Arizona.
I mean, it continues to grow.
And it's wonderful.
Yeah.
And we're having a good time.
It's as tough as it is.
I think people...
I think there's a need for people to come together with people that think the same.
And the channel's brought a lot of people together here.
And like I said, big fans of the Brideon channel.
Big fans of Health Ranger and Mike Adams here.
So it's a lot of fun.
It's a lot of fun.
You have a like mind here.
It's buzzing constantly.
We got Silver Respecters, which is a prepper channel here.
And people are sharing.
I have people share.
This week I said I'm going to start a thread.
Everyone share.
Share your fireplace, your wood stove.
What are you doing for heat?
And for the mini ice age, what is your...
People are posting up their plans, their fireplaces, their wood stoves.
What are you doing for backup energy here?
What are your plans here?
And people are sharing back and forth.
We get newbies on there that say, I don't have any experience of this.
And someone posts something.
And they can directly message them and engage.
So people are engaging, they're communicating, they're teaching and learning.
And I think that's really important.
I think that's the magic of it.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, thank you so much.
You nailed it, as always, and it's going to be a very interesting year to watch.
So, folks, pay attention.
February 1st is right around the corner, just a week away or so.
Thank you so much, John.
Thank you.
Folks, I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighton.com.
Feel free to repost this audio-slash-video interview on other channels, if you wish.
You have our permission to do so.
Just give credit to John Perez at SilverIsMoneyNews on Telegram.
So thank you all.
God bless you all.
Get ready.
It's going to get wild.
Thank you very much.
Wow.
All right.
Hope you enjoyed that interview.
I certainly did.
It went on a lot longer than he and I had planned.
But, you know, what happens when John Perez and myself get together, we just we can't we can't stop.
It just because we both have knowledge about so many of the big picture things happening in the world.
And it's, you know, it's rare.
It's kind of like I'm sure you experience this, too, where when you find somebody who who has the knowledge base that you have, isn't it exciting to actually talk to them?
To be able to talk about global issues and the petrodollar status and what's happening with the world on the big scale and the vaccine depopulation agenda, precious metals and BRICS nations and all of it.
You realize fewer than 1% of the people in the world, certainly in America, have any idea about this stuff.
You listening to this, you are...
Truly among the most informed individuals on this planet.
And most people are preoccupied with just more common popular stuff, pop culture type of things.
But you have this knowledge of the world.
And that's what I love to engage in with people like John Perez.
So anyway, I really hope you enjoy that.
And just a quick reminder, our sponsor on gold and silver can be found at metalswithmike.com.
If hearing that perhaps motivated you to look into gold and silver, that's where you can find our sponsor again, metalswithmike.com.
And just to be clear, I don't earn a commission on any gold and silver sales.
They just sponsor the podcast.
And that's it.
Simple arrangement.
Okay, with that covered, now we actually covered most of the news that I was going to cover.
We covered it in that interview, but I did want to mention about Poland and Germany and Leopard 2 tanks before I wrap this up.
So, German's Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbach, said over the weekend that she does not oppose Poland, or that Germany will not oppose Poland sending these Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
So this is essentially an official decision, and it shows that Germany is now going to risk everything.
They're going to jump into this by essentially providing a supply chain of parts and expertise and so on for these Leopard 2 main battle tanks that will be sent to Ukraine to be destroyed by Russia.
Now, a few main battle tanks is not going to change the tide of this war.
It will, however, get more Ukrainians killed, and it will perhaps kill some more Russians, but it's not going to change the broad strokes of where this war is going.
Russia is poised to launch a major new offensive against Ukraine.
And probably, depending on how crazy the escalation from NATO gets, Russia will strike NATO targets.
They could be military bases or command centers, or as an outlier, potentially major European cities like Berlin, since Germany is essentially given the green light for these tanks, or London because the UK was involved in blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline and so on.
Well, multiple pipelines.
So the outlook for the situation in Europe does not look good.
And what I want you to be ready for...
The changes that happen in the United States and in the global economy as this World War III gets underway.
Because I think this is going to really validate all the prepping that you've engaged in, that all of us have engaged in, being ready for supply lines to really crater for disruptions in financial transactions and disruptions in China's exports to America and so on.
problems, cyber attacks, maybe false flags, who knows.
But these things are coming, and I do believe that Russia's attack on Ukraine is very close to beginning, and it will be the kind of the pivot point of the chaos to be unleashed that will impact us for many, many years to come.
Now, the New York Times reported that most NATO members have run out of weapons to even send to Ukraine.
This was originally reported by the New York Times.
It says, smaller countries have exhausted their potential.
At least 20 of the bloc's 30 members are pretty tapped out, wrote the New York Times.
Only larger allies, such as France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, have enough stockpiles to continue or increase their weapon shipments to Ukraine.
So guess who's going to be targeted by Russia?
Yeah, it'll be France, Germany, Italy, you know, the UK, the Netherlands.
But even the US is running out of munitions and running out of weapons to send to Ukraine.
So they've been doing this under the guise of pretending that NATO is not at war with Russia.
And that pretend game has collapsed, and it's now obvious to Russia that they are already in a war with NATO countries, especially the United States, that has sent in the HIMARS long-range artillery systems.
So a few more tanks, a few more artillery, a few more Patriot missile batteries, and so on, even a few F-16s, not going to change the outcome of this war, but may prolong it.
May get a lot more people killed and may result in a dangerous escalation that leads to potentially the exchange of nuclear weapons.
I think that this is, in our lifetimes, all of you listening to this and myself included, in our entire lives, even including the Cuban Missile Crisis if you were alive at that time, This is the most dangerous, high-risk, nuclear scenario, roll of the dice that we have ever lived through.
And if we make it through this year without a nuclear war or nuclear weapons being used, then consider that some kind of a miracle.
Because everybody in the West, everybody in power, State Department, Biden regime, and these leaders in Germany and so on.
They seem to be almost conspiring to start World War III as quickly as possible.
And again, it may be on purpose.
It may be a cover story for their intended engineered collapse of their fiat currency system and a global reset on debt.
So yeah, maybe they're trying to do it.
It seems so.
But it's going to be chaos, mass disruptions, you know, frankly, mass starvation, depopulation across Western countries, if it unfolds like that.
So...
We do need to be ready, we need to be informed, and we need to warn as many people as possible.
And by the way, have you noticed that more and more people are coming around on the vaccine die-off?
I mean, I mentioned Scott Adams earlier.
He's come out now.
You've even got mainstream vaccine pushers that are starting to question things like Paul Offit, remember, was saying he was angry that the FDA didn't give him all the data that he should have had access to in order to rubber stamp the, quote, approval of the COVID vaccine.
It's kind of unusual to hear a vaccine pimp express public anger about being hoodwinked by the vaccine industry.
But there you go.
More and more people are waking up to the truth that these vaccines are biological weapons.
They are designed to achieve depopulation and they are accelerating.
And you probably noticed that the people around you who took the vaccines and who took the boosters, they are sicker than ever.
They're getting sick more frequently.
Their illness is more severe.
They're being hospitalized at increasing rates.
Meanwhile, the people you know who did not take these vaccines, yeah, they may have been sick initially.
They may have dealt with COVID, and now they're pretty much okay.
Yeah, they may get some symptoms from time to time, but they're not being hospitalized.
They're not being thrown into bed.
They're not bedridden for a week or two.
They don't feel like they're dying.
But the vaccinated people, those who kept taking the boosters, they not only feel like they're dying, many of them are dying.
They are dying.
They're dying off.
Someone was telling me today that they thought that maybe the California highways looked a little bit less crowded.
Well, the boosters are very heavily propagandized in California, so that's probably a very compliant audience overall.
I wouldn't be surprised if the death rate there in California is higher than elsewhere per capita, but there's still a whole lot of people in California.
They're just getting sicker and sicker.
Now, will a lot of them die this year?
Absolutely.
No question.
But the real depopulation timeline is more like the next decade.
And as these people have their immune systems destroyed by the boosters, It's only going to take, you know, one major infection from a common flu or something like that, and then they will be wiped out.
They will die.
And there are more and more people, you know, just spontaneously keeling over heart attacks, strokes.
They're dying like never before.
We've never seen this before.
Not in our lifetimes.
And it's accelerating.
So, hey, again, more and more people are coming around on that.
And perhaps as the financial collapse takes place, that will wake up a lot of people or red pill a lot of people about the Federal Reserve, you know, the creature from Jekyll Island, the nature of money as debt, what is a gold standard, what happened in 1971, and all these kinds of issues as well.
Heck, people may learn about the Bretton Woods Agreement, the petrodollar status, the importance of global oil and how it's bought and sold in terms of currency transactions.
It's going to be a tough education for a lot of people if they're behind the curve on that and they get stuck holding useless dollars.
It's going to be a very expensive education.
But for today, consider yourself well-informed, and thank you for listening.
I certainly enjoyed having you here today, and I hope you learned a lot today.
It was definitely an information-packed day, and I can only imagine what other crazy things are going to happen this week because, yeah, we're just getting started.
Hackable humans.
There's a story I didn't even get to.
Hackable humans.
We'll have to cover that tomorrow.
All right.
Until then, have a great day.
We'll be with you again tomorrow.
God bless you.
Take care.
