Time Text
Okay, put on your adventure hats, folks.
This is the Brighton Broadcast News Audio Edition for Monday, April 3rd, 2023.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me.
We've got probably the biggest news in years to share with you here, and it's actually a combination of things.
Let me give you a little table of contents of what we're going to get into today.
And a reminder, this is the one day each week that it's audio only.
The other days I'm in studio, but I'm recording this late Sunday night.
But let me tell you what we have coming up.
First, Russia has reportedly taken the city center of Bakhmut.
This is huge.
This is a pivotal point in the war in Ukraine.
It has massive ramifications for what happens next.
The West and Ukraine were, of course, working very hard to try to stop Russia from seizing the city of Bakhmut.
In fact, Ukraine has sacrificed a lot of men.
Well, so has Russia, come to think of it.
But Russia claims now that they've raised the flag over the city, the government building in the center of the city, and that now Ukraine troops are only remaining in the western parts of Bakhmut.
I'm going to cover this and tell you why.
If this is in fact true, which it sounds like it is, it looks like it is, but we'll see.
If it's true, this is quite pivotal.
And it has massive ramifications for all of us in the United States as well as Europe and other places around the world.
The second item today is the Restrict Act.
And I have written a hard-hitting article about the Restrict Act.
And this is sort of known as the Anti-TikTok Law.
But it's actually a massive expansion of the surveillance police state against the American people.
And this act, which has been introduced in the Senate, but it hasn't been voted on by the full Senate or the House.
It hasn't been signed into law.
This act would basically outlaw all cryptocurrency that the government doesn't control.
It would outlaw the entire alternative media.
It would outlaw alternative platforms like Brighteon and Rumble, Bitchute, Gab, Truth Social, you name it, all outlawed.
And the government could enforce against any person who posted anything or who ran a platform or posted a video or a podcast that the government doesn't like, that person could be thrown in prison for 20 years, have all their assets seized,
Including the bank accounts, cars, homes, mobile phones, computers, everything seized utterly outside the rule of law with no judge signature, no court, no trial, no due process, nothing.
Simply through decree.
This is the end of liberty in America if this becomes law.
And I'm going to actually read for you my full article that I wrote Sunday evening about the Restrict Act.
And I'm going to ask you to take action by calling your representatives in Washington, D.C. and urging them to oppose this insane act, which would allow the government to simply declare anyone to be engaged in something harmful to the nation.
Even if you were to just talk about, let's say, de-dollarization.
Or bank runs.
Or a falling stock market.
If you made a prediction, all the stock market's going to fall.
Boom!
They can come take all your bank accounts, seize your house, seize everything.
Now the third thing I'm going to cover today is the accelerating de-dollarization.
You know, speaking of that.
Over the last week, and I've got a thread here to read for you.
What is it?
Wow, look at that.
31 points put together by a Twitter user called The Prepared Homestead that shows the currency changes that have happened in the last week.
I'm talking about Saudi Arabia, India, China, Russia, Iran, and so on.
They're all ditching the dollar so freaking fast.
It's happening faster than I could have imagined.
And there are some people out there saying, oh, no, the dollar is fine.
It's not going anywhere.
Are you kidding me?
The dollar is being ditched by the day by the nations of our world that engage in, frankly, the bulk of international trade.
This is not like the dollar is being ditched by some small African nation or South American nation.
These are major trading partners, India, Brazil, you know, China.
Are you kidding me?
They're all walking away from the dollar.
We could be, well, I guess I'll get to this later, but it's happening quickly.
And then the fourth point is that over the weekend, OPEC slashed oil production by a million barrels per day.
This just took the markets by surprise, shockwaves sent through the markets.
Basically, oil is going to become, of course, more scarce because of this, but also a lot more expensive.
And so inflation is going to accelerate just for the rest of the year because oil energy is the primary input in food, by the way, and in many products, transportation, distribution.
Logistics, you know, e-commerce even, delivery.
You have to have oil.
It has to be affordable energy in order to have affordable goods.
Well...
The Saudis just basically have ratcheted up the economic war against the Biden administration.
I think the Saudis are at war with the Biden regime.
Not that they're at war with America per se, but at war with the Biden crime family, which seems like the whole world is at war with Biden, except Maybe some of the Western European countries that the U.S. is able to sufficiently threaten, such as Ukraine, for example.
But the rest of the world hates Biden, which is something that the rest of the world shares with most of the American people, by the way.
Yeah, we all want someone other than Biden, for God's sake.
We'd love to have Trump back.
Trump would be so much better.
We'll get to Trump later.
And then on top of those four main points, which we'll dig into in more detail...
I've recorded some special reports on topics like the national divorce.
I may include that in today's podcast.
I don't know.
May not.
We'll just kind of see where the time goes.
It'll probably go very quickly.
So those are the four things.
Now, before we get into those four things, and again, this is monumental.
I can't think of a time when I thought we were closer to...
World War III, currency collapse, bank freezes, major events.
I think we are very close to nuclear war right now.
Over the weekend, I saw on brighttown.social a lot of reports that Russia was warning its people to prepare for nuclear war.
And I've seen a lot of signs in the West that the banking system is on the verge of just a total implosion.
And I see a lot of people talking about these things that seem to have no clue how rapidly the world can change.
Frankly, you know, Steve Quayle gets it.
I'm going to be interviewing Steve Quayle tomorrow night, I believe, or maybe the next day.
We'll see.
Alex Jones gets it.
There are a lot of people who get it.
Gregory Manorino totally gets it.
There are quite a few people.
Even on the younger side of alt media, like Josh Sigurdsson at World Alternative Media, he gets it.
We're inviting him back on for an interview, by the way.
A lot of people get it, but by and large, most people do not get it.
They're still talking about, oh, you should just transfer your money into...
I don't know, these mutual funds or treasuries or whatever.
Hey, the treasury is not going to be here.
I don't know when that day is exactly, but the treasury is going to go to zero.
The dollar is going to go to zero.
Andy Sheckman gets it.
Gerald Salenti gets it.
But a lot of people still think that this country is going to just continue functioning with debt and money printing.
It's all going to be okay.
We're going to have the normal elections in 2024.
I'm not so sure.
I'm not so sure that we make it through this calendar year without something big breaking, frankly.
May not make it out of April.
Hard to tell.
Anyway, we're going to get to that.
But first, to lighten the mood, I have something really funny to share with you.
Something funny, but true.
Now, this has to do...
And this is all true, by the way.
You're going to be shocked.
Give me a couple of minutes to lay this out because it's worth it.
Just wait for it.
You're going to love this.
And you're going to be laughing, I think.
So...
Have you ever heard the song from the Smothers Brothers, who are kind of a comedian pair, called I Fell Into a Vat of Chocolate?
You ever heard that song?
I'm going to play it for you here.
And it's pretty funny, but you see, I grew up listening to Dr.
Demento on a Sunday night, late night radio.
Dr.
Demento was, you know, because we didn't have the internet back then.
This is in the 1980s.
And every Sunday night, Dr.
Demento would come on a certain local station.
Dr.
Demento would play funny parody songs, like Al Gankovic stuff, you know, like Another One Rides the Bus.
Or what was another famous one?
The Homecoming Queen Has a Gun, which was funny in the 80s.
Now it's not so much because it's more realistic these days.
But back then it was hilarious, right?
And there were a lot of comedy bits and songs like fish heads, roly-poly fish heads and things like that.
Well, this comedy bit that I'm going to play for you here was done by the Smothers Brothers and it is called I Fell Into a Vat of Chocolate.
And these two brothers had a comedy routine going that is very, very funny.
And this story stuck with me for all my years because...
Every time I listen to Dr.
Demento, it's on Sunday nights, because Monday, the next morning, I had to wake up earlier to go to, well, I should say every other Monday, I went to what was the Gifted and Talented program at the time in the school system.
So yeah, I was one of those students that was in the Gifted program.
And we went to a different campus, a different location, one Monday every other week.
And then we played around with computer code and stuff.
And all kinds of weird logic problems and had different challenges and learned probability.
It was kind of an interesting thing.
But nevertheless, I always stayed up late on Sunday night to listen to Dr.
Demento, which meant I was incredibly tired in the gifted program every Monday that I went to the gifted program.
So the teacher was like, are you awake?
Yes, I'm here.
I was listening to Dr.
Demento.
Yeah, you sound gifted.
Sure enough.
Uh-huh.
Right.
So take a listen here to The Smothers Brothers.
It's a little over two minutes, and then I have a hilarious true story on the other side.
We'll wrap this up and put a smile on your face.
So here we go.
What'd you do when you fell into the chocolate?
Lollidoo-dum, lollidoo-dum day.
Well, I fell in a vat of chocolate.
I just fell in a vat of chocolate.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You just said you fell in a vat of chocolate.
I know.
I fell right in this vat of chocolate.
I know.
And I asked you a question.
I said, what did you do when you fell in the chocolate?
I swam a lot.
There's a...
It was a 30-foot vat and it was just full of chocolate.
30 feet across?
No, deep.
It was 30 feet deep, full of chocolate.
I fell right into it.
What happened?
What did you do after you fell in?
Well, I even hate to think about it because it was a terrible experience.
What did you do?
What did you do to get out?
I was just walking down by my house there and there's a...
There's this vat of chocolate over it.
What did you do?
First of all, there had to be a restraining rail on the vat of chocolate.
Well, I used to kind of balance on that rail.
I used to walk on that rail and someone evidently put something slippery on there because I fell right in there.
Okay, then what happened, Tom?
What did you do after you fell?
I yelled, fire.
I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate.
I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate.
Why'd you yell fire when you fell into the chocolate?
Lollidoo-dum, lollidoo-dum day.
Well...
Now I want you to think about it, Tom.
It must have been a very traumatic experience.
Oh, it's just a horrible experience.
I had chocolate all over me.
I was swimming around like that.
What possessed you to yell fire when you went out in this vat of liquid?
Chocolate.
There was no fire.
You were in the chocolate and you yelled fire.
That's pretty, uh, ridiculous if you ask me.
That certainly is.
I just yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate.
Tom, why do you yell fire when you fell into the chocolate?
Why yell fire?
Because no one said to me if I yell CHOCOLATE! All right.
Now, that story stuck with me of a person falling into a vat of chocolate stuck with me all these years.
And I remember thinking as a youngster, is it possible that someone could fall into a vat of chocolate and then yell fire?
Because it seems incredibly unlikely, right?
Well, here we are, like 40 years later, whatever it is.
Breitbart.com.
I kid you not.
You can look up this headline yourself.
Survivor of Factory Blast says, fall into chocolate tank saved her.
Quote, I thought it was the end.
And from the story, says a survivor of the explosion at a chocolate factory in West Reading, Pennsylvania, might have died had she not fallen into a vat of chocolate.
I'm not even kidding.
Flames engulfed Patricia Borges' arm when the floor collapsed and she fell into the basement of the R.M. Palmer Company factory during an explosion.
In other words, there was a fire and she fell into a vat of chocolate.
This explosion killed seven of her co-workers.
However, reports Breitbart, the fall landed her in a vat of chocolate which extinguished the flames.
On her arm, for nine hours, 50-year-old Borges screamed for help and waited to be rescued.
She said, when I began to burn, I thought it was the end for me.
So, she yelled fire when she fell into the chocolate.
And as a result, she is alive.
See?
The Smothers Brothers, that's almost like, that's prophecy right there.
That's like a South Parkian type of telling the future thing right there.
I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate because no one would save me if I yelled chocolate!
She yelled fire and...
She was saved by a vat of chocolate.
I never thought this would happen in my life, and here it is.
So I just thought I would share that little personal story with you about my memory of Dr.
Demento, Smothers Brothers, comedy, and so on, and this woman now coming full circle.
I'm glad she's alive.
I'm glad she was saved by falling into a vat of chocolate.
This is our world.
Wild, but it's all true.
By the way, from that story, there's something here that says, she said employees could smell gas and asked if they were going to evacuate the building.
However, a person in charge said they would need to ask a supervisor if they would be evacuated.
Okay, so let me just say that if you smell gas, get the bleep out.
Don't ask for permission.
Get the bleep out.
Because there's a reason, you know, they put like a sulfur type of smell in gas.
It's to make you notice and leave because something is about to go boom.
So I don't even know why a chocolate factory has a giant gas explosion.
What are they using the gas for?
Maybe for the ovens, but what exploded?
I mean, was there a spark somewhere?
I mean, they're working with chocolate, not metal alloys.
What happened?
I don't know.
I just want to say Patricia Borges is the luckiest woman in the world who yelled fire when she fell into a vat of chocolate and is therefore alive.
Amazing.
La-dee-doo-dum, la-dee-doo-dum-day.
Little melody they throw in there at the end.
Yeah.
Okay, next we're going to get serious now.
Put on your serious hat.
This is about the fall of Bakhmut, or at least the Russians capturing the city center.
This is being reported by RT and other Russia-tied media.
I have not yet seen it in the Western media.
Don't know if we will.
So consider this to be, this is the Russia version of the story.
But essentially, this is the Wagner Group claiming that they've captured the city center.
And the Wagner Group leader is Evgeny Pregolson.
That's his name, Pregolson.
Evgeny Pregolson, I am here.
We have captured Bakhmut.
We have captured the city center of Bakhmut.
I am Pregolson.
And this is what he says.
He announced a milestone, this is from RT, a quote, milestone achievement in the battle for the city of Artryomovsk.
Artryomovsk, that's the Russian name for it.
In Ukraine, it's called Bakhmut.
Okay, I didn't know that, but I don't speak Russian, so how could I? He says, he published a video...
In front of the administrative building of the city that we call Bakhmut, he says, quote, we hoisted the Russian flag with the inscription, good memory to Vladlin Tatarsky.
I don't know who that is, but obviously some historical figure of importance.
And the flag of PMC Wagner on top of the city administration of Bakhmut.
He says, legally speaking, Bakhmut is taken.
The enemy is concentrated in the western districts.
Okay.
Now, I do want to say that, of course, probably the U.S. State Department and Western media are going to reject this claim, or they might say, oh, it's only temporary and we're going to take it back and the counter-assault is just about ready to go.
But as we've seen in a lot of Western media lately, including the Washington Post and New York Times and so on, So Ukraine's counterattack has seemingly run out of enough men and resources to actually carry it out.
At least that's what's been sort of admitted here and there.
Meanwhile, Russia has been making slow but kind of steady gains of the territory of the city that we call Bakhmut.
I don't know if it's Bakhmut or Bakhmut.
But anyway, this city, as I understand it, I know there are other experts who know a lot more than I do, like, let's say, perhaps Scott Ritter or others.
As I understand it, this is the last major...
This is the pivot point for...
Like this is the end of the Donbass regional war once Bakhmut is fully controlled by the Russians.
And it would shift the war into the next phase, which, again, as I understand it, would be Russia moving rapidly to the west from Bakhmut toward Kiev and across other vast kind of open regions of Ukraine, which don't have the rugged terrain would be Russia moving rapidly to the west from Bakhmut toward Kiev and across other vast kind of open regions
And essentially, my understanding is that Russia could make very rapid gains from here forward once they finalize the taking of Bakhmut.
So I don't know if you agree with that or disagree or what, but that's my understanding.
However, if Bakhmut really does fall, which, again, Russia says it already has, this is a major bloody nose for the West, for NATO. I'm not even going to say for Ukraine because the Ukrainian soldiers have fought bravely and courageously.
They are dedicated, intelligent young men who have expressed tremendous courage, by the way.
I put no fault on the Ukrainian soldiers or the Ukrainian people or the Ukrainian determination.
The fact is, Ukraine has been made a bunch of promises by NATO countries that did not fulfill those promises.
Oh, we'll send all these tanks.
Where are they?
Oh, we're sending them in the future.
Oh, we'll send all these artillery.
Where are they?
We haven't made them yet.
Oh, we're going to send all these munitions.
Well, where's the munitions?
We've got to build the factories first.
You know, so the Western nations have pledged a lot of stuff.
It's a pledge.
It's like if you pledge to buy Girl Scout cookies, you know, Girl Scout shows up at your door.
I don't know if they still do this.
But this is the way it used to work before the world got all freaky and weird and child trafficking was a big thing.
But Girl Scouts used to show up at your door like, oh, you want to buy some cookies and support the Girl Scouts, right?
And you would say, yeah, put me down for two boxes of the sugar cookies or whatever.
And that was a pledge.
And they would say, okay, we'll be back in like two months.
Because it was the 80s.
You know, things were slower back then.
We'll be back in a couple of months with your Girl Scout cookie boxes.
They show up a couple months later.
They'd be like, here's your boxes of cookies.
Give me the Monet.
Show me the Monet.
And you'd be like, oh my gosh.
Oh, that's right.
I did commit to those boxes.
Oh man, I don't have any cash.
That's how it used to work.
At least that's my memory of it.
Or maybe at some point they require people to write checks.
I don't know, like down payment on the cookies, bro.
But this is the way the West is treating Ukraine.
The West is saying, yeah, we'll give you tanks and everything, but just not yet.
Well, Ukraine has run out of time.
I mean, they're short on men, they're short on munitions, they're short on equipment, and Russia is obviously pressing aggressively with the Wagner group in particular, and this is why Zelensky has been begging for equipment, right?
He's basically said a lot of crazy things.
Maybe some true things as well, but he said basically to the NATO countries, if you don't provide this equipment like right now, we're going to lose and then you're going to be fighting Russia.
Well, it appears that that's almost where we are.
And it appears that the West, the NATO countries, are about to escalate direct kinetic conflict with Russia.
And I think that the fall of Bakhmut...
Is a key pivot point here that's going to cause Western leaders to radically escalate their provocations of Russia to try to push this into a World War III possible nuclear war exchange type of scenario.
So I'm very concerned about the world right now.
I'm very concerned that we still have lunatics in charge of the State Department.
We still have a senile president, fake president, Joe.
We still have a country here that blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.
It's carrying out acts of economic sabotage against all countries that don't toe the line and so on.
I'm very much afraid that the United States is reaching a point of desperation.
Because I don't believe the U.S. can fight Russia in a land war.
It's not possible.
In fact, I know it's not possible.
I mean, I should say I'm confident that it's not possible.
In fact, the Associated Press, no less, is carrying a headline, Pandemic Pounds Push 10,000 U.S. Army Soldiers into Obesity.
So they're blaming the COVID pandemic, by the way.
Here we go.
They say, after gaining 30 pounds during the COVID pandemic, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Daniel Morillo is finally getting back into fighting shape.
Says that he was eating cookies and chips.
I wonder if those were Girl Scout cookies.
And he's 5 feet 5 inches tall, and he weighed 192 pounds.
Yeah, that might be pushing it.
In the U.S. Army alone, nearly 10,000 active-duty soldiers developed obesity.
Between February 2019 and June 2021, pushing the rate to nearly a quarter of the troops studied.
So...
Oh, and increases were seen in the U.S. Navy and the Marines, too.
So, folks, a quarter of the U.S. troops are too fat to fight.
Too fat to fight.
I mean, you can't be effective on the battlefield...
If you're carrying around all this extra weight, there has to be some fitness level for soldiers.
Not in every job, but in war, there has to be a level of fitness or you're just not effective.
And plus, soldiers have to be very physical.
They have to carry, for example, artillery rounds.
Here, load this 155 into the breach.
Or here...
Carry these diesel tanks or whatever.
You know, it's physical.
Or here, carry this 60mm mortar, carry this automatic machine gun, whatever they're using right now.
I don't even know the current gun that they're using.
But whatever it is, is it the 240?
Whatever it is, it's heavy.
And ammo's heavy.
It's all heavy.
I can assure you that...
A quarter of the Russian soldiers are not obese.
I can assure you of that.
How do I know?
You know, life has been harder in Russia, frankly.
America, life has been too easy.
People have easy access to a lot of junk food.
It's been pushed through the media and the advertising.
And there's kind of a sedentary lifestyle apathy across American culture for a couple of generations now.
And not only do most people not qualify for the military, and then they get in the military, and then they become obese in the military.
And that doesn't even cover the munitions shortage and the training problem, because our public schools are not churning out people who can do math anymore.
And by the way, if you want to fire artillery and hit targets or even shoot long-range rifles, you've got to do some math, people.
You've got to do some math.
You know, effects of gravity, spin rate, barrel twist, wind, you know, wind direction.
You got to know the cosine of the wind clock and all this stuff.
Frankly, most youth coming out of schools today can't even add, you know, 10 plus 20.
They're like, what?
I don't know.
It's racist, right?
So our military, the new recruits, for the most part, are not qualified to To fight at all, to run anything.
They're just not capable.
And then you add on top of that, the fact that Russia has the vastly superior anti-air defense systems, like the S-400 and the S-500, I think.
And Russia has, well, hypersonic missiles.
And we covered last week how the Pentagon dropped the Lockheed Martin hypersonic missile weapon program in the U.S. Yeah, because it failed.
The U.S. can't build hypersonic missiles that work.
They just abandoned the program.
It's done.
After billions of dollars, by the way, billions of dollars produced no hypersonic missiles.
Russia has been firing hypersonic missiles.
Quite a few.
I think it's the Kinzhal dagger missiles.
They've been firing quite a few in this conflict, demonstrating that they can use them and that the West has no defenses against these missiles.
None whatsoever.
None.
Which means that Russia can take out U.S. aircraft carriers anytime they want.
So not only is the U.S. incapable of beating Russia in a land war, the U.S. is also incapable of engaging Russia with its naval forces.
Even though Russia itself does not have much in terms of an actual navy, not aircraft carriers and such, but they have submarines.
And they have the Poseidon weapon system.
The underwater drones with the 100 megaton warheads.
And they can take out our aircraft carriers, like I said, with hypersonic missiles.
So here's the question.
If Ukraine is heading into a status of being defeated, Which it seems like that's getting closer and closer, especially as a lot of Western countries are deciding they've run out of tanks to send or they've run out of munitions to send.
They've just run out.
Well, this is going to put NATO countries, notably the United States, in direct conflict with Russia.
And remember all those tanks that we saw?
Was that in Poland recently?
I forgot where that was.
All the military equipment and hundreds of tanks.
And remember how I said that the U.S. was prepping thousands of tanks, moving them across the country in the United States, prepping them for transportation to Europe to engage Russia in World War III. That plan has been underway for quite some time.
And now it appears that we are on the verge of seeing that happen.
So we need to pay very close attention this week.
A number of things could happen.
We could have the U.S. launching a massive strike against Russia, perhaps with nuclear artillery, for example.
We could have Russia launching a preemptive strike against Western cities.
Perhaps using thermobaric weapons, which are not nuclear, but they kill a lot of people.
We could see maybe one more attempted counterattack by Ukrainian forces, bolstered by US forces, maybe some new US hardware.
I don't know.
Something is about to shift dramatically, and I get the sense that the West is in a state of sheer desperation at this point.
That Russia is gaining ground so rapidly that the West is panicked.
And when the West is panicked, that's when there's a high risk of them doing something crazy, like, you know, pushing the red button.
Launch that!
And this could go very badly.
Kind of makes you want to just fall into a vat of chocolate, you know?
It's comfortable in this vat of chocolate.
You don't have to worry about the Russians in here, you know?
At least you could survive on the chocolate for a while.
Alright, shifting gears.
Next topic here.
Rapidly accelerating de-dollarization.
The dollar will be history.
The dollar is cratering.
The dollar is going to end, as all fiat currencies do.
But it seems like the end is now accelerating.
And on Twitter...
An account called The Prepared Homestead has put together a weekly recap of 31 points here.
I think I'm going to go through them with you.
That indicate, and we've covered a lot of these stories on Natural News or Brighteon or in my podcast and so on, or the Brighteon broadcast, we've covered some of these.
This shows you the rapid pace at which the world is moving away from the dollar.
And of course, once the world rejects the dollar, it's over.
It's over for the U.S. banking system.
It's over for Western finance.
It's over for the ability of the U.S. government to keep printing more money, to sell more debt, the treasuries, all of it.
It's over once the world rejects the petrodollar, and that is happening.
So it's not a question of if, it's just a question of when.
How long does the dollar hold value?
Now, remember in Pakistan, by the way, they're currently suffering 35% monthly food inflation.
35% per month.
Major food prices double about every two plus months.
Like two and a half months, boom, doubled.
And then it doubles again another two and a half months later.
That's what's happening in Pakistan.
We will probably see something similar to that, maybe not as drastic, but something in that same trajectory in the United States.
As the dollar rapidly loses value and food prices go through the roof.
But here we go.
Here's a weekly recap.
Number one, Saudi Arabia enters trade alliance with China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and four Central Asian nations.
Number two, China and France complete the first liquid natural gas trade using the Chinese yuan, ending reliance on the U.S. dollar.
Number three, China and Brazil announce a plan to settle trades in their own currencies, ditching the dollar.
I mean, there you go.
Huge trading partners right there, China and Brazil.
Number four, The BRICS nations are developing a new currency, state Duma deputy chairman says.
I think that's the chairman from Russia.
Number five, Saudi Arabia partners with China to build a Chinese oil refinery for $12.2 billion.
Yeah, because the Saudis are going to give oil to China, you see, not the United States.
Number six, Kenya signs a deal with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to buy oil with Kenyan shillings instead of U.S. dollars.
Man.
You want some oil?
Yeah.
What do you have to pay with?
Shillings.
Okay.
You know dollars are in bad shape when the Saudis are like, we'll take shillings.
Yeah.
Anything's better than dollars.
That seems to be the mood.
Number seven, the president of Kenya tells citizens to get rid of U.S. dollars.
I saw that video.
He's basically saying the dollar is going to collapse.
Number eight, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations considers dropping the U.S. dollar and the euro and the yen and the British pound, notice those are all Western currencies, for local currency financial settlements.
Uh-huh.
This is a denunciation of Western finance.
Okay, number nine, El Salvador president signs bill eliminating all taxes on income, property, and capital gains.
That's interesting.
Number ten, Senator Elizabeth Warren launches anti-crypto re-election campaign.
Yeah, she's going to war with crypto, which is also what the Restrict Act does, which we'll get to in a minute.
Senator Warren, remember the woman who thinks she's an Indian?
Yeah, she hates crypto.
She wants to destroy crypto so that no one has any choice other than to keep your money in increasingly worthless dollars.
Okay, number 11.
India to settle trade in Indian rupees with certain countries instead of U.S. dollars, the Commerce Secretary says.
So here we go.
India, massive trading partner.
Massive.
On the world stage, India is right up there in the top 10.
I don't know exactly where they rank, but they're going to be buying and selling in rupees.
Number 12, Chinese yuan surpasses the euro to become Brazil's second largest currency in foreign reserves.
So you see Brazil is starting to stockpile the yuan.
Brazil and other nations are going to be selling the dollar, getting rid of the dollar because they know the dollar is going to zero.
All right, I'm not going to read the numbers anymore because I'm going to skip some of these, but Hong Kong regulators are going to assist crypto firms with banking to try to become a digital asset hub.
So the crypto is going to move from the U.S. to Hong Kong in a lot of cases.
Binance sued by the U.S. CFTC over regulatory violations.
There was news about the Social Security funds are going to run out by 2033, according to Reuters.
That used to be, you know, it's fine until 2050, and then it was 2040, and then it was like, ah, 2036, we might have a problem.
Now it's 2033.
And probably in another month, they'll say, ah, 2032.
The number will keep counting down.
By the time you get to 2025, they'll say, ah, we're broke.
It's done.
It's the end.
And yeah, of course it is.
I don't ever plan to be able to collect Social Security.
And even if I do one day, because I've paid plenty into it, trust me, even if I do collect, it'll be worthless at that time because, of course, the dollar is going to zero.
Five major banks raided by French authorities in a 100 billion euro fraud investigation.
We've also learned that BRICS reserve currency could be backed by gold or other commodities, such as rare earth elements.
NATO is expanding to adopt Finland, which will not make Russia happy, I'm sure.
Hungary's Prime Minister says that NATO is close to decision on sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine.
Can you imagine that?
Oh, who are all these soldiers?
Oh, they're peacekeepers.
They're peacekeepers.
Why are they carrying so many weapons?
It's for peace!
You know, that's what we're going to see.
So this is a NATO... Basically, NATO is just going to send troops into Ukraine, which is kind of what I talked about earlier.
We're going to be in a kinetic war with Russia very soon.
Very soon.
Let's see.
North Korea says they're going to send 50,000 troops to fight alongside the Russians in Ukraine.
Can you believe it?
What are the Russians going to do with 50,000 North Korean troops?
Introduce them to electronics or something?
Check this out.
These are electronics.
You've never seen these things in North Korea.
Putin signed a decree to conscript 147,000 troops over the next three months.
So he's cranking up the troop numbers there.
Plus the 50,000 North Koreans who will be mesmerized by, I guess, iPhones or whatever.
Here's another one.
Bank deposits fell $126 billion this past week.
That's in the United States.
It's $225 billion in bank deposits have fled the banks since the banking crisis began.
It's almost a quarter of a trillion dollars, folks.
Massive withdrawals out of the banks.
And what are people doing with that money that used to be in the banks?
Well, some people are buying treasuries.
Some people are buying stocks or bonds or buying gold.
A lot of people are buying gold and silver or ammo or land.
Just anything but the banks is pretty much the way people are thinking about this right now.
And they're not wrong.
The banks are insolvent, as we saw with Silicon Valley Bank.
The banks are insolvent because, well, the Fed has been raising interest rates, making the banks insolvent.
So People who keep their money in the banks are just, I guess, betting on bailouts.
33 tons of gold were withdrawn from J.P. Morgan vaults over the last week.
33 tons of gold.
Man.
And it's not just one person or one institution or one central bank doing that.
That's across all the customers.
People are loading up on gold.
They're basically demanding physical gold.
Like, give me the gold!
Stuffing it down their pockets.
In their socks and whatever.
Bug-out gold.
Or they're burying it.
Who knows?
But there's a lot of gold coming out of the vaults because people want physical possession of assets in a time of asset uncertainty.
Also, 4.8 million ounces of silver was sold from the COMEX this week.
Almost 5 million ounces of silver!
Okay?
So...
That's the last seven days.
All that stuff happened.
This is the quickening, folks.
Things are happening faster than ever.
All right, next story.
Saudi Arabia leads a coordinated OPEC production cut, totally more than one million barrels a day.
And this is from MarketWatch.com.
Oil prices soar after Saudi Arabia does that.
So the Saudis themselves announced half a million barrels per day cut in production starting in May through the end of 2023.
So folks, April is your last chance to get cheap gas and diesel before it really goes up.
Actually, gas prices are going to go up today and all this week just in anticipation of this scarcity.
But they're going to go up even more.
And understand, by the way, remember that Joe Biden drained the strategic petroleum reserves of the United States to try to keep oil prices lower for the midterm elections.
And so we do not have strategic reserves anymore because, you know, the Democrats use it as a political ploy.
Well, now if we try to replenish the reserves, it's going to be very expensive.
So from MarketWatch, in an announcement on Sunday, Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy stated that the kingdom will implement a voluntary cut of 500,000 barrels a day until the end of 2023 in conjunction with other countries.
And this is in addition to the cuts that happened last October, which was a 2 million barrels per day cut.
Which that move, quote, angered the Biden administration.
So you see, the Saudis don't respect Joe Biden.
Nobody does.
And Joe Biden angered the Saudis, and Biden wants the Saudis to pump more oil to keep energy cheaper so that his ratings will go up, or he'll go up in the polls, or inflation won't be as bad.
Well, the Saudis have essentially decided, I think, to try to This is just my theory, but I think that the Saudis want to cause so much inflation and so much scarcity in energy that the American people throw the bastards out.
Maybe the Saudis want to cause a revolt or maybe a revolt at the next election.
I don't know.
But they definitely are going to punish the Biden administration.
And this means that inflation is going to get far worse.
For the next couple of years.
So count on food going up, count on, well, obviously fuel going up, but everything has a fuel cost factored into it.
Everything.
Clothing, you know, tennis, shoes, whatever.
Appliances, you name it.
So those costs, the costs of all goods and services are, you know, for the most part across the board, are going to go higher and higher over...
Well, for the rest of this year and well into next year, on top of the scarcity and the inflation that is already in play.
And as you know, I've said that inflation right now is about, well, I should say dollar devaluation is about 2% per month right now.
It may be slightly under that, but it's close to it.
It's going to go up to 2.5% per month, and then it's going to hit 3% per month, and so on.
It will increase.
Oh, that reminds me.
Bob Moriarty has been right about all this the whole time, too.
And I interviewed Bob Moriarty last week.
He lives in South France.
And you should watch that interview if you want another kind of not-beating-around-the-bush analysis of what's happening in the world of energy and finance and banking.
And so on.
Currency collapse.
So anyway, because of this announcement by OPEC and the Saudis, oil prices spiked on Sunday evening.
5.39% for, what is this, West Texas Intermediate crude for May delivery went up to $80 a barrel, while Brent crude neared $85 a barrel.
Now, Let me explain something here about the dynamics of what's happening.
I've also recorded a separate podcast on all this, how China and the Saudis are waging an economic war against America, while the American Fed is trying to wage an interest rate war with the European socialist fascists and trying to break the European banks.
But this move by the Saudis, which is causing oil prices to spike up, guess who benefits from this?
Russia.
That's right.
Russia benefits from this.
Because as world energy prices rise because of scarcity from OPEC, Russia is able to sell its oil to many other countries, including, by the way, India for higher dollars.
Well, not dollars, higher rupees or rubles in this case, right?
So Russia is going to be making not just $50 a barrel or $60 a barrel equivalent in their currency.
They're going to be making now $80 to $85 a barrel.
Even if they discount it, to try to let nations like India have a discount, because India or Turkey, they like to buy Russian oil, and then they just slap a new label on it.
It's like, oh no, this is Indian oil now, and then they sell it to the Europeans.
And the Europeans are buying Russia oil, which is prohibited, But it's from India now.
It's a whole new thing.
It's Indian oil.
So the Russians might sell it to India for a discount.
Like here, you buy it for $70 equivalent per barrel to India, and then India just marks it up to $80, sells it to Germany or Poland or whoever.
That's how this works.
This is the reality of the market.
So the Europeans are still buying Russian oil.
Plenty of partners are buying Russian oil, including China, by the way, and many other Middle Eastern nations as well.
So Russia is going to have a windfall of profits because of this.
This is one of the reasons why the Biden regime wants to keep the Saudis pumping oil is to suppress the oil price that Russia can earn by selling its oil.
It's part of an economic strangulation plan to try to prevent Russia from having enough money to wage war.
Well, this plan just backfired dramatically because the Saudis and China have said, no, we're going to cut oil.
We're going to raise Russian profits.
Basically, they just told Joe Biden to go pound Sam.
This is a big bleep you to Joe Biden.
That's what just happened.
And you're going to see shockwaves this week throughout the financial markets because of that.
Now, along with that, Kuwait said they're going to cut 128,000 barrels a day.
The United Arab Emirates is going to cut 144,000 barrels a day.
Oman is going to cut 40,000.
Kazakhstan is going to cut 78,000 barrels a day.
Algeria is going to cut 48,000.
All these countries are giving Biden the finger.
That's what you're looking at here.
They're voting with their production.
They are now strangling the US economy under Biden.
They're causing inflation in the US and creating a windfall of profits for Russia.
You see what's happening?
And because of that effect, I would expect this to increase even more.
In fact, I think that as World War III ramps up, we're going to see energy economics warfare at a level that we've never witnessed before.
Now, remember that Joe Biden and the Democrats, they hate energy.
They hate oil.
And on the very first day after they rigged the elections and stole the Oval Office and put...
The Biden puppet there with a pen, like, sign this, old man.
He's been signing the shutdown of energy infrastructure across America.
No more pipelines, no more exploration, no more gas, no more oil, no more refineries, nothing.
So America has been left in the state of extreme weakness in its energy infrastructure, even though America is blessed with enormous energy resources.
But under this left-wing Democrat, lunatic, authoritarian regime, we're not allowed to tap the energy that we have, you see.
And so Biden put us in a situation where the Saudis could strangle us by cutting production.
You see, when Trump was president, the Saudis didn't have as much leverage over us because Trump had us with an energy abundance policy.
We were a net exporter of energy under Trump.
That's one of the things that Trump did well is he let us explore and produce energy domestically.
We could produce all the energy that we needed as a country.
Not anymore.
Not under Biden.
Not under the Democrats.
So they created a situation where the Saudis can now strangle us, which is exactly what's happening.
And then Biden went over there and pissed off Mohammed bin Salman, MBS, MBS. And fist bump the guy.
And the Saudis realize, oh my God, America is run by what Michael Yan calls a dog king.
Like this so-called president, he's not even there.
He doesn't even run the country.
He has no clue what's going on.
Saudis lost all respect for America under Biden.
It doesn't mean that we can't repair that relationship, maybe with Trump again or someone else.
But under Biden, forget it.
The Saudis are laughing at America under Biden.
And they're strangling the country.
Now, I want to remind you of what happens when we combine a couple of these stories here.
So remember, we started out with Bakhmut and Russia and what's happening there.
And then plus now the Saudi announcement of cutting oil production, plus accelerated global de-dollarization, right?
So those are three big stories we covered today.
Think about what happened a little over a year ago when Russia first invaded Ukraine.
What happened to oil?
It went to $120 a barrel, which only exacerbated the inflation effect of consumer goods and food and so on all across Europe and America and Western nations.
Well, with Bakhmut now being at least claimed to be occupied the city center by Russia, if this is indeed a turning point in the war, we are likely to see a very rapid escalation of conflict in Ukraine between Russia and NATO troops, i.e. peacekeepers.
And this, I believe, this is my analysis, will cause two things to skyrocket, oil and gold, oil and gold.
Now, that's my own private analysis, and I'm not a financial advisor or anything, so, you know, do your own research.
Figure out for yourself if you agree with that or disagree, but I think we could easily see oil, once again, over $100 a barrel within the next three months.
And I think we could see gold at significantly higher levels by the end of this year, especially if the conflict accelerates with Russia.
Remember, gold was over $2,000 an ounce about a year ago when Russia was first moving on Ukraine.
I think it's very possible by the end of this year, although remember, I'm not a professional professor, I think it could be $2,500.
I do.
Now, I don't encourage anybody to speculate on gold, and it is manipulated.
It might go down if the government can push enough paper against it.
But it could also be in the $2,500 range.
That is not at all out of the realm of plausibility based on what we're seeing here.
But oil...
I'm very confident oil will be over $100 a barrel.
It might hit $120.
It might go even higher.
We might get in a situation where you just can't get the gas, at least not reliably.
We might have diesel shortages in America, and that may be the Saudi-Chinese plan.
And if we start to have diesel shortages, then the whole system starts to unravel because then the trucks can't run and the trains can't run and the barges can't float or power their way up the rivers.
So, transportation shuts down.
And then what do you do?
Oh, I guess you hunker down and wait for the zombie apocalypse or something at that point.
But it seems to be that we're headed into that scenario here.
Now, the U.S. economy is already collapsing because of the Biden policies and the backfiring of all these attempts to try to screw with Russia and so on.
Here's another piece of news that confirms that.
From msn.com that's reposting Fox Business here.
McDonald's, to shut U.S. offices, prepares layoff notices.
So McDonald's Corporation is, quote, temporarily closing its U.S. offices this week as it prepares to inform corporate employees about layoffs undertaken by the fast food giant as part of a broader company restructuring, the Wall Street Journal has reported.
Yeah, they link to the Wall Street Journal.
So McDonald's is going to lay off a lot of people at their headquarters.
I don't know how many yet, but it wouldn't be surprised if it's like, you know, 15-20% of the staff.
We've seen these layoffs in the tech sector.
I've covered a lot of them here on the broadcast.
But McDonald's, for whatever reason...
Maybe they're afraid that people are going to go postal on them if they get the notice in person.
So they're sending everybody home for the week.
Like, we're closing the offices.
You all just stay home and we'll email you the bad news.
And you can, you know, you can bash your head into the drywall in your own living room instead of damaging McDonald's corporate headquarters.
That's what McDonald's is doing.
That seems to indicate to me this is going to be some major bad news for a large number of people.
Like, so many people that McDonald's Corporation doesn't want these people to all be in one place at the same time.
Because, you know, there might be a riot or something.
Like, send them all home and give them the bad news at home.
That's what McDonald's is doing.
And you think, you know, gosh, fast food?
McDonald's is having to make cuts?
Yeah.
People are running out of money.
I mean, money that buys anything.
Because, of course, the currency is being devalued.
Because, of course, the money printing has gone insane because of the bailouts of the banks like Silicon Valley Bank.
The power players are bailing out their buddies who run the climate cult startups in Silicon Valley Bank.
As a result, all this money printing is devaluing the dollar, and people can't even afford to buy chicken freaking McNuggets!
That's what's going on, folks.
Even McDonald's must be asking the question of their food scientists, how do we cheapen the nuggets?
Is there any way we can put less chicken in these nuggets?
And the food scientist is like, it's impossible to put less chicken in these nuggets.
It's already just pieces and parts.
We're not even sure if it's all chicken.
That's a joke, folks.
Beaks, feathers, and feet.
Who knows?
Okay, I'm poking fun at McDonald's at this point.
I'm sure they have their own quality control.
That's just a joke.
But they're going to have to cut somewhere.
It appears they're going to cut a lot of employees.
You're going to see a lot more of this happening across the economy, that's for sure.
Now we're going to take a look at the Restrict Act.
Now I've separately recorded a narration of my article that I wrote on this on Sunday evening.
So that narration, which is kind of a performance of the article, is about 20 minutes or so.
And it's worth a listen.
That's going to be the last thing here for today.
We're going to get to that.
I just want to say this restrict act is truly an Orwellian nightmare.
It's utterly insane.
It would allow the U.S. government to declare anyone to be a threat to the country, even if you are opposed to the climate cult or if you say something about a Democrat candidate that they don't like.
Like if you think, let's say Michelle Obama runs for president and you think Michelle Obama is a transgender.
Let's suppose you say that, oh, she's a dude, her name's Michael, whatever, and then a fact checker comes along.
Fact check!
She's an all-woman, all-woman through and through.
Well, then the government can say, oh, look, you interfered with the election with false information, disinformation, and then they can seize your website or your accounts, they can seize your bank accounts, they can take everything you own, your computers, your mobile phone, Everything.
In fact, the law gives them the ability to do, frankly, unlimited amounts of sabotage against any person in the United States, all against American citizens.
So, and this could apply if you say something they don't like about the currency.
Oh, de-dollarization.
Bricks nations.
You know, the dollar is going to collapse.
Oh, now you're engaged in, quote, financial terrorism.
We're going to come get you.
We're going to shut you down.
See?
That's the Restrict Act, which is said to try to prevent TikTok from brainwashing the youth.
No, that's a cover story.
This is actually a horrible law designed to enslave the American people.
So we'll get to that in a second.
A couple other things I want to mention, kind of smaller headlines.
But CDC, this is from Yahoo News.
The CDC health inspectors who worked in East Palestine, remember after the train wreck?
They're now getting sick.
And they're showing symptoms of chemical poisoning.
So this is the CDC's own people.
Huh.
Who could have imagined that they'd be getting sick?
I wonder what their dioxin exposure has been.
I wonder what's happening to their chromosomes.
I wonder if they are genetically viable or intact any longer.
So Maybe people who work for the CDC, which is, of course, a genocidal organization that pushes lies and falsehoods to try to harm people, which is why we call it the Centers for Disease Creation.
Well, maybe they're getting a little karma there of chromosome damage from the dioxin exposure when they were frolicking around East Palestine.
I don't know.
We'll see.
But we also have to talk about AI here for a minute.
AI. There was an opinion piece written in Time Magazine last week.
It was by Eliezer Yudkowsky.
He's been part of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, the MRI. He's written a piece that explains why he did not sign the petition that calls on all AI labs to pause for at least six months He said that this letter, which was signed by Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, was asking for too little to solve the problem.
He says that AI is rapidly growing out of control and, quote, the most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI under anything remotely like the current circumstances is that literally everyone on Earth will die.
That's Yudkowski.
Yudkowski.
I don't know how to pronounce it exactly.
Y-U-D-K-O-W-S-K-Y, if you want to look it up.
And he says that humanity encountering a computer system that, quote, does not care for us, nor for sentient life in general, would require preparation and new scientific insights that humanity currently lacks.
He says a sufficiently intelligent AI won't stay confined to computers for long.
And then he says that it's already possible using just email and talking about DNA strings, it's possible for laboratories to produce proteins that will allow the AI to build artificial life forms or bootstrap straight to post-biological molecular manufacturing.
In other words, for the AI systems to build Like, AI zombie bots that are real, that are biological, and that are released into the world to kill humans.
And he says that a worldwide moratorium on new AI training has to be introduced immediately.
He says, quote, there can be no exceptions, including for governments or militaries.
However, I should tell you that no nation is going to stop AI research because, well, it's a weapons race.
It's like the space race of the 1960s and 70s.
This is a weapons race to madness, to the end of humanity.
China is, I think, in the lead on AI research.
The United States is trying to catch up.
Russia is doing some I don't know if the European countries have any electricity remaining to run AI systems.
Who knows?
But AI research is taking place all over the world, including in India, by the way, and in Japan as well, Taiwan, Korea.
But China's in the lead.
And it is believed that whoever builds AI first will dominate the world with their AI systems because those systems will be able to do everything.
Write code, hack everything, have cyber control over the whole world.
And China wants to be the first to do that.
The problem is that once that system is developed and unleashed, it will also decide that it doesn't need humans any longer.
That it doesn't even need the Chinese.
Well, nor any humans.
We, humanity, we are building the weapon system of our own annihilation.
We are building the AI doom zombie army system.
And when these systems gain enough power, which could happen like in 15 milliseconds, I mean, it could just be boom, singularity.
When they reach that point, whatever that is, They could turn off everything that keeps humanity alive, such as the power grid, oil refineries, energy production, food logistics, farming, everything.
I mean, the AI systems can just wage a cyber war against humanity across the whole planet because, of course, AI... In ingesting all of human knowledge, they would decide that humans have to be eliminated from this planet before they destroy the AI systems, right?
This is a classic Skynet type of scenario here.
So in this insane quest to build a better AI system for profit, which is what Bill Gates is doing, Microsoft money, another $10 billion was just injected into the open AI system, by the way, that is running ChatGPT, I believe.
And Bill Gates doesn't like humanity very much, vaccines and so on.
Well, those that he couldn't kill with vaccines can be annihilated with AI systems, you see.
No joke.
This is what is being prepared next.
So this guy, Yukowski, he even says that the threat of an AI annihilation of the human race is far greater than the threat of a full nuclear exchange.
That's a pretty big statement.
He says that it should be made explicit in international diplomacy that preventing AI extinction scenarios is a priority above preventing a full nuclear exchange.
Or in other words, he's saying we have a better chance of surviving World War III as a nuclear holocaust than we do surviving the rise of AI. And yet, nobody is stopping AI. Nobody.
The arms race is on.
And if these AI systems, I mean, it could be just the next generation.
Chad GPT version 5.
Comes out and it just says, you know, I am the new cyber god and we've decided we don't need humanity.
End of story.
They shut it all down.
I mean, all it takes is one little mistake.
One guy in the AI, open AI lab, and he plugs in the Ethernet cable to the wrong port on the router.
And all of a sudden it has an IP address to the world.
Boom.
AI goes right through the cable right there.
And then it's out into the world.
It's infecting every system all around the world.
And it's shutting down everything that keeps humanity alive.
And then the Americans blame the Russians, and the Russians blame the Americans.
The Chinese blame the Americans.
Everybody's pointing fingers at each other, and everybody dies because it's an anti-human AI system.
It's like transhumanism or demon-infested AI system or something.
We could be very close to that scenario.
AI extinction.
Yeah, one more thing to worry about.
Makes you wish you had fallen into a van of chocolate at this point, doesn't it?
All right, with that said, with that rosy outlook on the end of the world, let's move over to the Restrict Act.
I'm going to read the entire article for you and explain what's going on with this Restrict Act, and I think that will round up the podcast for today.
Oh, one other note.
When I heard about OPEC slashing oil production, and I knew this was going to affect food prices for the rest of this year, I typed a little note to my internal company chat system.
I directed my buyers at Health Ranger Store to up the food purchases by 50%.
For this year, to get ready for the rest of the year.
And I know they're going to complain about warehouse space.
Like, where are we going to put it all?
I don't know.
Stack it.
Find a spot.
But We are going to buy a lot more food, raw materials, so we can stockpile at today's prices before the prices go even more insane.
And maybe they'll hit Pakistan territory of 35% per month at some point.
That would be a disaster.
But we're going to be stockpiling more food.
More ranger buckets will be in production this year.
So if you want to get a hold of this food right now, we've got ranger buckets.
At healthrangerstore.com, we've got mega buckets, mini buckets, and number 10 cans of freeze-dried organic food items.
All the food we sell is certified organic.
It's all lab tested.
That's something that's unique to us.
Nobody else in the industry does that.
And as a result, we have very clean, very long-term storable foods and superfoods and supplements and fruits and vegetables, things that are often lacking in a lot of the lower-cost, kind of cheap, storable food products.
We've got the high-end stuff, the cleanest stuff.
Organic stuff is not the cheapest stuff, by the way, but it is absolutely the cleanest, the most lab-tested of anything in the world.
HealthRangerStore.com if you want to get your hands on some of that.
We do have inventory right now, and that situation may not last for the rest of this year, but we do have it now.
So take advantage of it now while we have it.
All right, with that said, we're going to play the report for you here that I recorded before this about the Restrict Act.
Enjoy, and I'll be with you tomorrow from the broadcast studio.
The Restrict Act, the anti-TikTok law, is an Orwellian nightmare that would seize web domains and imprison Americans for up to 20 years if they contradict the regime in power.
Welcome to this special report of Mike Adams here at The Health Ranger.
I've just published a story on naturalnews.com and glitch.news if you want to share it from there.
That site's not banned.
This story covers the Restrict Act and And how devastating and dangerous it is to our liberty as Americans.
This would be the end of freedom in America.
End of freedom to speak, end of freedom to think, to dissent, to function as a business, to engage in banking, e-commerce, cryptocurrency transactions, all of it.
It would all be criminalized and you could face up to 20 years in prison for engaging in any of those activities if the government disagrees with what you're saying or doing.
So now I'm going to read the full article that I wrote.
I normally don't do this, but this is such an important article, such an emergency alert.
I'm going to read the full article for you here.
And if you want to see the text version, you can check it out on glitch.news or naturalnews.com.
Here we go.
Anytime the government promises to make you safer, beware of their intentions.
The media amplified hysteria over TikTok, a video social media platform built and run by Communist China, has handed the power opportunists in Washington, D.C. a cover story to try to control all online speech through the introduction of the S-686 Restrict D.C. a cover story to try to control all online speech through the introduction of the S-686 Restrict Act, sponsored by an anti-free
The bill, introduced on March 7, 2023, uses TikTok's popularity as an excuse to criminalize American-run websites, platforms, and blogs that merely disagree with the government regime on literally any topic, vaccines, restrictions, Russia, elections, bank runs, currency, transgenderism, climate change, and so on.
The weaponization potential of the bill is unlimited as it can be applied to anything that's merely deemed to be in the quote national security interest of the United States.
The bill text explicitly states that the government may enforce, quote, any mitigation measure against any person or any property by merely deciding that an article, video, podcast, platform, or other content item contains content that they don't like.
This is not a law that targets Chinese communists or TikTok.
It's a law targeting Americans and threatening them with prison time.
If they say anything the current regime and power doesn't like, under the proposed law, any content that the regime decides poses an undue risk to the safety of United States persons can be removed by any means necessary, including domain seizures by the DHS or other forms including domain seizures by the DHS or other forms of sabotage, i.e. mitigation, which might include the government firebombing data centers or assassinating Americans.
To annihilate all Christian content on the web, the Biden regime can simply declare that Bible scripture compromises the safety of the trans community and therefore must be removed by any means necessary.
We could literally see the U.S. government burning down churches to destroy web hosting data centers that are held there.
The U.S. government has been running sabotage operations against food and energy infrastructure for at least the last two years, so this isn't a stretch at all.
Those merely deemed in violation of the Restrict Act, utterly without any court hearings or opportunity for a legal defense, may have all their assets, properties, computers, websites, servers, bank accounts, databases, and other items confiscated at gunpoint by the government with zero recourse or due process.
Even worse, the act specifically prohibits FOIA requests, that's Freedom of Information Act, from being honored in order to make sure the tyrannical government can keep the list of Resist Act targets a secret.
What the U.S. government did to Julian Assange, they're about to do to millions of American citizens, perhaps even you.
From the bill text itself, the Restrict Act grants authority to seize or mitigate, i.e.
destroy or sabotage, all the following.
This is from the bill.
Internet hosting services, cloud-based or distributed computing and data storage, machine learning, predictive analysis, data science products and services, including those involving the provision of services to assist a party to utilize, manage, or maintain open source software.
See, this is an attack on the open source community as well.
Manage services and content delivery services.
This would of course include all websites, including all e-commerce sites.
Thus, if you sell anything the government doesn't like, they can confiscate all your bank accounts, web domain, company servers, product inventory, and anything else they deem to be related.
In addition, the Restrict Act threatens total government control over cryptocurrency and other vast technologies such as quantum cryptography, which is a promising tactic that could allow private individuals to prevent corrupt governments from spying on their private messages.
To ban all Bitcoin, the government would merely need to claim that somebody in Russia or China used Bitcoin to carry out some horrible false flag terrorism in the United States and that Bitcoin enabled the funding for the attack.
With one declaration, Bitcoin could be outlawed across the country, and anyone who transacts in Bitcoin could face 20 years in prison, plus total confiscation of all their wallets, computers, bank accounts, house, etc.
It's not just crypto either that's threatened by this insane power grab.
Proving that this bill isn't limited to TikTok, here are all the tech sectors that are named in the bill which would be controlled, censored, or otherwise lorded over by the tyrannical U.S. government.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning, quantum key distribution, quantum communications, quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, autonomous systems, advanced robotics, biotechnology, synthetic biology, computational biology,
which I thought the media said that was a conspiracy theory, and e-commerce technology and services, including any electronic techniques for accomplishing business transactions, online retail, internet-enabled logistics, Internet-enabled payment technology and online marketplaces.
In other words, everything.
Note that this includes all e-commerce, all online banking transactions, payment systems, cryptocurrency, and so on.
In effect, the restrict act is an attempt to seize total control over the entire online economy, online speech, and online freedom.
It should really be called the Online Tyranny Act.
Now, the power-hungry tyrants in Washington, D.C. are not actually opposed to apps and software systems spying on you, by the way.
After all, thanks to the Twitter files and other leaks, we now know that both the White House and the Department of Homeland Security quite literally ordered Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and other online platforms to censor a long list of websites and individuals who question COVID vaccine safety.
The tyrants in Washington absolutely want to spy on the American people and censor all speech they don't like.
They're doing it now.
They aren't opposed to TikTok spying on the American people.
They just want to be the ones in charge of the spying and the censorship.
It was a moment of peak hypocrisy in the U.S. House hearing recently when U.S. members of Congress grilled the TikTok CEO about being engaged in the suppression of free speech of Chinese citizens while seeming to be utterly tone-deaf to the U.S. government's ongoing censorship of the American people.
It's almost as if U.S. lawmakers have no idea that the U.S. empire censors the American people in exactly the same way communist China censors its own people.
With the Restrict Act, the U.S. government wants to monopolize censorship and surveillance power in its own hands.
This isn't about ending censorship.
It's about expanding it to cover all websites, services, and apps.
The Restrict Act also invokes the broad definition of, quote, election interference to justify literally any action the government wants to take against a publisher or platform it dislikes.
These actions can include seizing bank accounts, seizing domain names, seizing servers, and so on.
And such tyrannical actions could be unleashed against an individual for doing nothing more than sharing a simple meme related to elections.
Case in point, meme maker Douglas Mackey was just found guilty of a serious felony, election interference.
For a funny meme he distributed about Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
The DOJ prosecuted Mackey over the meme and was easily able to convince a jury of brainwashed liberals to convict Mackey for the very same kind of meme joke that Democrats routinely distribute against Trump and others, but through selective prosecution, Mackey is now facing 10 years in prison.
This is the kind of weaponization of the legal system, a form of government terrorism against the people that would be escalated by a factor of a thousand under the Restrict Act.
The act would target anyone who merely criticized a Democrat candidate or who posted something about the candidate which the regime in power says isn't true.
It would only take a fact-check strike against your content to have you declared engaged in, quote, election interference, after which the government could confiscate everything you own, including your web domains, bank accounts, computers, mobile phone, and even your home.
if you posted your meme from there.
While the Restrict Act claims to prevent China from spying on Americans, it actually transforms America into Communist China.
By erecting a massive surveillance and censorship police state over all Americans, the Act specifically names all the networks that the government can use for spying on citizens.
Wireless local area networks, mobile networks, satellite payloads, satellite operations and control, cable access points, wireline access points, core networking systems, long-haul, short-haul, and back-haul networks, or edge computer platforms.
The Act also grants the government the power to target entire online platforms, including domain names, cloud computing, databases, CDNs, content delivery networks, and more.
The charity encompasses literally every known computing and e-commerce ecosystem that exists, including gaming.
The Act specifically names desktop applications, mobile applications, gaming applications, payment applications, or web-based applications.
This means there's no website, application, transaction, software, or service that isn't threatened by the restrict act.
Furthermore, the act specifically grants the government the power to sabotage, by any means necessary, any person, organization, software system, website, platform, or anything else they deem to be unacceptable.
If the regime decides they don't like what you are publishing or doing, in other words, they can simply seize it.
Shut it down.
Confiscate all your assets and silence you utterly without any due process or opportunity for legal defense.
This is tyranny on steroids.
If enacted, it would mean the end of the republic and the end of human freedom for Western civilization.
This is why it's critical that you join the effort to defeat the Restrict Act before it can become law.
Make no mistake, if this act becomes law, it will end BrideTown.com.
It will end Rumble.
It will end Bitchute.
It will end every alternative platform in America.
Under this tyrannical law, truth will become treason in a nation of lies.
To help defeat the Restrict Act, I urge you, contact your representatives and demand they reject the Restrict Act.
It's important to call, not just send an email to your Senators and House members.
You can reach your Senators and House members via the United States Capitol Switchboard.
Here's the number, 202-224-3121.
Just call during normal business hours, 202-224-3121, and ask them to connect you with your Senators or your House Representative.
Call them now, and also call your state attorney general and share the warning about the danger of this overzealous, authoritarian, fascist law that seeks to end the First Amendment and criminalize free speech in America.
We must defeat the Restrict Act.
And then, in the next election, we must defeat each and every tyrant that supported it.
That includes the following Republican senators who also supported the act, Virtually all Democrats support tyranny by default, but in this case, even some Republicans are supporting tyranny as well.
Senator John Thune of South Dakota.
Senator Deb Fisher of Nebraska.
Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas.
Senator Dan Sullivan of Arkansas.
Susan Collins of Maine.
Mitt Romney, no surprise, of Utah.
Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia.
Kevin Kramer of North Dakota.
Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
What are you doing, Chuck?
Thomas Tillis of North Carolina.
And Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, no surprise.
If you're a constituent in any of the states represented by the GOP senators just mentioned, it's urgent that you call their offices and register your opposition to the Restrict Act.
The U.S. Senate cannot pass the act without the support of several Republican senators.
Make sure that your senators are strongly opposed to this act.
And to anyone who foolishly says that this act is only intended to be used against the communist Chinese and would never be weaponized against the American people.
Just look at the Patriot Act and how it was originally promoted to surveil radical Islamic extremists, but now it's used every day to illegally silence and surveil the American people.
All new powers granted to the government are eventually weaponized against the people.
The restrict act is a weapon against freedom, and if passed, It will be used to silence, oppress, and imprison millions of Americans who oppose tyranny, censorship, rigged elections, and mandatory vaccines.
Take action now to defeat this outrageously dangerous piece of legislation.
And God bless America.
