Time Text
Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Friday, April 7th, 2023.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com, and today we have our financial Armageddon edition of the show, if you want to call it that.
A lot of finance news, a lot of war on crypto, and we've got a special guest coming up, Ed Dowd.
From Finance Technologies with a bombshell report on the economic costs of the vaccines, both in terms of disabilities and deaths and, well, also injuries.
So three categories, actually.
Massive costs to the U.S. economy, not to mention the rest of the world.
And we're going to be paying the price of this for many years to come.
And we also have another guest which is Susan Swift from the Right to Life League coming up about, well, pro-life and the horrors of abortion and chemical abortions with the abortion pills.
So that should be a really interesting, almost a fiery interview I would think.
And of course, that's the website where you can find the headlines that I post throughout the day, usually in the morning and then in the late evening of what I'm paying attention to.
And if you go down on sensor.news, if you scroll down, then you get the automated headlines from all the websites that we spider, including here's the Epoch Times, here's InfoWars, Blacklisted News, you know, on and on.
The COVID blog, National Pulse, 100% fed up.
So check out Censored.News.
Obviously, it's free.
And everything on the top section, that's what I'm posting personally.
So in today's headlines, and actually I haven't posted all of these yet, But there's a lot of financial news that we need to pay attention to.
Let me show you this.
There's a war on crypto that's taking place.
And it seems like the, well, the powers that be are absolutely panicking that people might have an off-ramp from the fiat currency, centralized bank control, central bank system.
And crypto is functioning as an off-ramp for a lot of people in various ways.
Of course, I always caution people, you know, don't Don't get suckered into scam coins.
Don't get suckered into thinking you're going to be an overnight billionaire by going into crypto.
I'm not into crypto speculation.
I'm into crypto utility, just using it to carry out transactions.
Well, the powers that be don't want you to have access to crypto.
So here's a headline from CNBC. Australia ends Binance derivatives license.
And Ethereum preps next big upgrade, CNBC crypto world.
This is actually a video from CNBC. This shows you that Australia is going after Binance, and of course Binance is being targeted by regulators in the United States as well, and Coinbase is probably going to be next.
Of course, we've seen a lot of takedowns of other crypto over the last six months or so, but the war on crypto is most definitely accelerating.
Now, at the same time, you know I'm someone who believes in metals, right?
Gold and silver.
In fact, I've got a little small stack of some silver coins here today.
Not that much, just...
A little bit of silver.
It's always nice to have physical metal around.
And the thing I love about physical metals is, of course, they can't crash.
You don't need to remember your password.
It doesn't need a software update, and it doesn't need a functioning internet or even a power grid to hold value.
And of course, silver and gold have held value for millennia, right?
Through the rise and fall of multiple civilizations.
And so here we have some news from, what is this, moneymetals.com that I find very interesting.
Three congressmen introduced a gold standard bill to stabilize the dollar's value.
Three U.S. congressmen, they are Representative Alex Mooney, Andy Biggs, which is great, and Paul Gozar out of Arizona, have introduced H.R. 2435, the Gold Standard Restoration Act, to facilitate the repegging of the volatile Federal Reserve note to a fixed weight of gold bullion.
This is fantastic news.
It probably will never pass because, you know, the big money spenders in Congress, they don't want to be tied down to a gold standard.
Well, they wouldn't be able to just keep printing money and spending it on their favorite projects with kickbacks, bribery and corruption, you know, money for Ukraine.
In other words, yeah, half of it's kicked back to the United States.
Not officially, but through back channels.
And guess what they're using for that?
Probably crypto.
So that's why they'll never completely get rid of crypto.
They just want to control it, but they need it for their own government money laundering, by the way.
So anytime you hear them talk about, oh, crypto's got too much money laundering, that's themselves they're talking about.
If you want to get rid of money laundering, get rid of fiat currency that's based on nothing and get back to an actual gold and silver standard.
Which, and by the way, you don't even need 100% gold backing for a gold-backed currency.
You only need like 15 or 20% of the currency to be backed by gold.
That's still a gold-backed currency.
So it's not like we have to come up with, you know, $15 trillion worth of gold in order to do this.
Now, China's buying gold in record numbers.
the Chinese central bank.
Other central banks around the world are doing the same thing.
People are stocking up on gold and silver.
Well, because it's going to hold value through the collapse.
And we're going to, of course, explore more of this collapse today, including with guests like Ed Dowd.
Don't forget, if you're looking for physical gold or silver, our sponsor in that space is the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
You can go to this website, metalswithmike.com, where you can see a much younger picture of myself there that needs to be updated.
But you can put your name and address in here.
Or you can call them, by the way, Treasure Island.
They handle an enormous quantity of gold and silver.
They get it into your hands.
It's insured, it's discreet, it's the real physical stuff, and it will give you a sense of security.
Now, I'm not your financial advisor, of course, so do your own research, get your own advice.
There is a risk that gold and silver can go up and down in value, of course, so I don't think of gold and silver as investing in it.
I'm not looking to sell it at a higher price later.
I'm looking to just not lose money, or at least just hold assets.
In terms of manipulation, check out this headline from Blacklisted News.
After being criminally charged for rigging precious metals, JPMorgan Chase controls 53% of all precious metals contracts held by banks.
This is from originally Wall Street on Parade.
So here we go.
More proof that JPMorgan is heavily manipulating the gold and silver markets.
And that means they may be able to continue to do so.
There's probably a limit to how much they can manipulate, but if you buy gold and silver right now, the price could be suppressed by JP Morgan.
How much could it be suppressed?
I don't know.
But at some point, I think their ability to suppress the price runs out, and this thing probably bounces to its actual value, which many analysts believe to be significantly higher than the current spot price.
But There you go, J.P. Morgan manipulating the metals and trying to keep it artificially low to try to convince people that the dollar is still worth something, even as the dollar is actually losing value each and every day.
And here from the Epoch Times, a story, small businesses file for bankruptcy at record pace, surpassing COVID crash.
So this actually speaks to the diminishing value of the dollar because people's dollars don't go as far as they once did and food inflation continues to worsen.
A lot of people don't have the discretionary money they once had to make the purchases they want to make.
And so small businesses across America are losing customers and they're going bankrupt at a record pace.
In fact, this is worse than COVID, says the Epoch Times.
Worse than COVID.
So all the restaurants and gymnasiums and hair salons and everything that went out of business during COVID, it's now even worse, which means we have another kind of economic pandemic upon us.
And I can't wait for you to hear my interview with Ed Dowd because I'm going to ask him about that point.
That's coming up here on the show, so don't go anywhere.
And now here from the Wall Street Journal, more news about the attacks on crypto.
Decentralized cryptocurrency markets, Threaten U.S. security, says the Treasury, right?
So the Treasury running on debt and printing money and stealing your wealth, oh, that doesn't threaten U.S. security.
No, that actually shores up the security of the Treasury.
But crypto, they say, oh, my gosh, that's horrible.
It's a horrible thing.
Decentralized finance is bad.
They say DeFi, you know, war on DeFi, war on DeFi.
They don't want anybody to have an off-ramp.
They don't want anyone to have an alternative.
If they could, they'd probably have a war on gold and silver right now, but everybody needs silver throughout industry, so they can't really ban it.
But here they say, oh, they need greater oversight and enforcement against money laundering, the Treasury said.
The Treasury is the world's worst money launderer, or perhaps debt launderer.
The Treasury is a debt laundering operation.
The Treasury is, you know, it's a fiat currency cartel.
So you want to talk about money laundering, I mean, look at the Treasury, look at the Fed, look at the dollar.
In fact, most crimes that are carried out with any kind of payment are carried out using the dollar.
You know, stacks of $100 bills or briefcases in Hollywood.
And the key point in all of this is shown in the following sentence.
Check this out.
DeFi platforms enable crypto investors to transact with each other through software running online without a central intermediary overseeing transactions.
You see what they're saying?
Big Brother's not watching you on crypto, and that's the problem from the point of view of the Treasury.
They need to be able to oversee your transactions.
In other words, they want to be able to limit your transactions or control where you spend money or how much money you take out of the bank or how much you give to somebody.
They want to be able to extract their taxes out of the money as you're moving it around.
Even money you've already earned and already paid taxes on, again, They never have enough confiscation.
You give it to a friend, oh, they want taxes on that.
That friend buys a sandwich at the sandwich shop.
Oh, they've got to have taxes on that, too.
Sandwich shop pays salary to the employee that served you the sandwich.
Oh, more taxes for the IRS. Sandwich shop owner turned a profit, 25 cents profit on the sandwich.
Oh, got to pay tax on that, too.
So they need to confiscate money at every step of all of these transactions, and that's why they hate DeFi.
And that's why we, the people, should be super excited about DeFi, but also have discernment.
You know, don't fall for gimmicks or frauds or get-rich-quick type of schemes that have sadly characterized a lot of things in crypto.
But we should love the idea of decentralized money, because I think that's the future of money on our planet.
In fact, I think, again, Ed Dowd is coming up.
I'm going to ask him this question.
But I think that the fiat currency paradigm is going to collapse.
I do.
I think that the Western financial system is headed for collapse.
Now, you know, Ed Dowd may not have as doom and gloom an analysis, which is fine.
He's a smart guy.
We should pay attention to what he says.
But from what I'm seeing and hearing and researching, I don't see how this system can continue much longer.
Yeah, they could get by for a few more years by printing money and buying up all the stocks and buying up the bonds, and maybe the Fed will print money and buy real estate at some point.
The Fed's going to just buy up all the bank deposits.
Apparently, that's already begun.
But at some point, that money printing machine ends.
And when it does, what are your alternatives and where do you want to be positioned before that happens?
And right now, look, I mean, gold and silver, like I have silver on my desk, but also look at certain types of crypto as an option for mobility and also resiliency to censorship.
And again, the government hates it because they can't control it.
And so they have to smear it.
I mean, look at this.
Here's a line from the Wall Street Journal.
Ransomware, hackers, And other national security threats have seized upon the market's opaqueness.
In other words, they're talking about Bitcoin, which is not really that transparent.
I mean, the blockchain is public, but they're saying ransomware hackers might use crypto.
Well, you know, ransom has been paid in dollars more than any other currency around the world.
I mean, kidnappers use, I mean, they make demands in dollars.
Well, you don't see articles on Wall Street Journal.
Dollars are bad.
Criminals use them.
Right?
You don't see that story.
No, it's just, it's only crypto is bad because some criminals use it too.
The truth is that most crypto changes hands among people who are not criminals.
Some people just want to move money around.
Some people want to have a transaction that's more private.
Some people, maybe they want to speculate.
Some people want to send money overseas without going through the SWIFT system because, well, the SWIFT system, it's a giant financial surveillance grid run by the West.
So there's lots of legitimate reasons to use crypto.
And one of the most important is that the government can't just take it from you.
It's confiscation resistant.
In fact, you know, if you have a bank account, they can take it.
They can make up a reason.
Oh, we suspect you of being engaged in terrorism.
Oh, what did I do?
Oh, you said a prayer outside an abortion clinic.
Obviously, you're a terrorist.
We seized all your bank accounts, seized your house, seized all your assets, all your stocks and bonds and pension funds, and we're even going to dip into your Social Security check.
Yeah, because they can see it so they control it.
That's what they don't want to give up.
The monopoly control over your money so that they can confiscate money from you if you go against the system.
DeFi or decentralized finance gives people options away from that system.
Mobility, privacy, security...
And resistance against confiscation.
If you care about those things, then, you know, we should, I think we should look into this.
We should consider it as an option.
Now, don't get me wrong.
I'm still a gold and silver guy above all because that's what I know is going to function when the grid goes down, when the internet perhaps doesn't work in the middle of a nuclear war.
You know, gold still exists.
Gold still works.
Silver still works.
And again, it doesn't need a password, doesn't need software, doesn't need electronics.
It functions just as it has for thousands of years.
But it's hard to move, let's say, $50,000 worth of silver.
It weighs a lot.
But you can easily move $50,000 worth of crypto, do the transaction, and then have an off-ramp on the other side, cash it out for whatever you're trying to get.
Maybe you're trying to buy silver.
Maybe you're trying to buy a car.
Maybe you're trying to buy a bunch of computers.
I don't know, to run your business.
Maybe you're trying to buy a business.
So, anyway, they're at war with it.
Now, just how bad will the economic collapse be?
I guess part of that question is, how much poverty will people experience as they lose their jobs because of the, well, the contraction of loans, the contraction of capital?
But also, by the way, The replacement of human workers with robots.
Business automation is going to put millions of people out of work, so those people won't have, of course, incomes to be able to spend at restaurants or other businesses or even online.
Here's a story out of the UK Daily Mail.
Walmart says 65% of its stores will be serviced by automation.
In the next three years, as it lays off 2,000 warehouse workers.
This announcement was made at the annual investor meeting in Tampa.
Now, when they say automation, what exactly are they talking about?
Because at one level, automation could just be like floor-sweeping robots, which I don't have any problem with floor-sweeping robots.
But it could be things that legitimately replace humans, like shelf-stocking robots, because right now human beings restock the shelves at grocery stores and Walmart and other places.
If Walmart rolls out shelf-stocking robots, then tens of thousands of people are going to lose their jobs.
And what about warehouse robots?
Because we know that Amazon is working on that technology and a lot of other companies are working on similar technologies.
And look, if they start to replace warehouse workers with robots, which is coming, I guarantee you that's coming, you're going to see a wipeout of, I don't know, hundreds of thousands of jobs, probably millions of jobs over time in the United States.
And that's on top of people being replaced by automated driverless systems, like robotic truck drivers, for example, robotic taxis, things like that, or food delivery systems that are run with robots.
You know, automated systems, driverless systems.
So you could be looking at a society where there's so much automation that very few people are actually earning an income.
And then on the white-collar side, the chat GPT AI systems can replace, according to recent studies, some amount of the work that's conducted by, what was it, 70% to 80% of white-collar workers?
Maybe not their entire jobs yet, but at least some part of their job.
But realistically, you start looking at the physical automation with the humanoid robots and so on, plus the white collar automation with AI systems, it's not unreasonable to say that in the next decade, half of the current human workforce, both labor and white collar workers, could be obsolete.
Half.
I mean...
Think about what that would do to the economy.
And then you'd have calls for universal basic income.
Oh, we have to get money to be able to pay rent because there aren't jobs anymore because the robots already took over.
Well, okay, yeah, here's your universal basic income, but you have to have a digital wallet.
It's the FedNow wallet system here, you know, sign up, scan your iris, scan your fingerprint, whatever.
DNA scan, yeah, you're in the system, mark of the beast.
Now you have no privacy, total surveillance, programmable money, every worst Orwellian nightmare of finance that you can possibly imagine kicking in.
That's what they want.
And then, of course, you have now the argument that AI systems should be given voting rights.
Yes, it's out there.
We covered it at Natural News, but they want to give AI systems human rights to So that they have the right to vote, they have, you know, whatever free speech rights are still remaining, but that you can't turn off an AI system because that would be considered an act of murder, although you could kill your unborn baby, according to the left, that's not considered murder.
But if you turn off a computer, that might be murder, you see, because that AI system will be programmed to vote for Democrats.
To keep the woke Democrats in power, they will have woke AI systems.
Well, those AI systems...
We'll also be taking your job.
But the minute the Democrats realize that the woke AI systems can freaking vote, they don't need the humans any longer.
They don't need the humans.
And so then the mass culling and depopulation will accelerate even more.
It'll be the war on humanity, which technically has already begun.
They won't even need illegals at that point.
They'll probably actually protect the border.
Because they don't want any more of those people because they have AI systems now voting for Democrats.
Just rig everything with the AI. So make no mistake, that's where this is headed, folks.
They're at war with humanity.
They need total surveillance over your money, your finance.
They need to crash the dollar.
They need to kill the fiat currency system and drive people into central bank digital currencies in order to exercise total control over your life, your speech, what you're allowed to think, what you're allowed to buy or sell, all transactions, everything.
That's the nightmare that they're building right now, and it's all being pushed by this combination of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, State Department, you name it, and it's all done in the name of security and a safety net.
Oh, we can't let people use crypto.
They might launder money with that.
So So instead, they're going to launder money with the FedNow system and addict you to their UBI. This is the end of human freedom if this is fully deployed.
It's the end of human freedom.
So keep that in mind, folks.
One more reason to consider gold and silver.
Now, we're going to jump into the interview with Ed Dowd, who may have different interpretations than what I just laid out for you here, which is fine.
Ed Dowd is a very informed, very bright guy.
He's done a lot of analysis.
Let's check in with Ed Dowd and see what he has to say about all of this right here on Brighteon Broadcast News.
Welcome to today's interview.
We have a very special VIP guest today, Ed Dowd.
You know him.
He has been gracious enough to spend his time with us and other media outlets.
He's done a lot of interviews and his group, Finance Technologies, has put out a report.
This was a couple of weeks ago, I believe, the Vaccine Damage Project, the human cost, where it is detailed the actual human and economic cost of the excess injuries, disabilities, and deaths that can be quite conservatively attributed to the vaccines.
So, Mr.
Dowd, you are doing extraordinary work.
Humanity is blessed to have you here.
Thank you for joining my show today.
Mike, so good to be here.
I love talking to you anytime.
Well, it's probably overdue to have a conversation here, but we covered your report editorially.
You want to run us through that briefly, what you were able to really document?
And also, my one comment is, I think your numbers are very conservative.
The reality is probably much higher, but you can't necessarily document higher numbers.
But tell us what you do have there at Finance Technologies.
Yeah, so you're right.
We erred on the side of conservatism.
And even with our conservatism, the numbers are shocking.
And likely, like you said, much higher.
So let's go through what we, you know, so we started this project when, you know, I wrote the book.
Carlos and Yuri, my two partners at Finance Technologies, helped me with the data collection that you find in Cause Unknown.
But, you know, this is a rolling fraud, and this required a tremendous amount of work.
We now have two data scientists on board.
That are helping us.
They have day jobs, so this is all volunteer work.
We have a physicist who also has a day job joined.
We have two editors, myself.
And so this has been, I just want to say, this has been a tremendous amount of work done by seriously credentialed people who don't want their good names sullied.
So this is done with integrity, and we are investors first, so investors don't wait for the medical Profession or the government authorities to tell us what we can surmise.
So we think we have the analyst mosaic and the vaccine damage report was kind of the closing phase of what we've discovered.
And let me just go through it.
So we conservatively calculated excess deaths.
Let's go to the human cost first.
Excess deaths, $300,000 conservatively from the vaccine.
And that We added both up 21 and 22.
It's likely higher.
And we estimated a cost for all of 22, just to make things simple, because the excess deaths is the lowest dollar amount.
The disabilities are cumulative, so that's 1.36 million.
And then we discovered a new...
We've been trying to quantify vaccine injury, because we know there are some.
And we discovered that with the BLS, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, absence data and work time loss data.
And it's horrendously a black swan event there.
And we've estimated through the clinical analysis of the Pfizer trials, they wanted to hide those from us for 75 years.
So we took the adverse events that were going on while the trial was still alive, And we calculated the number of injuries against all the doses given.
We came up with 26.6 million people injured.
And how does that present itself?
We believe that's presenting itself in its suppressed immune system, which is causing chronic sickness that presents a host of Different disorders that you can't identify as a vaccine directly, but are caused by your suppressed immune system.
Let me just interrupt you right there for a second.
First of all, these are extraordinary numbers.
26.6 million individuals affected.
And what I want to point out is one way that this translates into reality.
So all of us We try to conduct day-to-day business.
You try to call your banker or your doctor or your accountant or your parts supplier for your tractor or whatever.
And I think we're all noticing over the last couple of years that, well, they're short-staffed.
Why?
Because their people are sick.
They're sick.
They're in the hospital.
They're seriously ill.
They're sick over and over again.
So that's the kind of real-world translation of what you're talking about.
These aren't just numbers on a sheet.
This starts to slow down the entire economy, does it not?
Absolutely.
And, you know, when I saw these numbers last week, we dropped the report last Monday, and, you know, I've got to be honest, like, I've been pretty good about keeping my spirits high, but this really, the amount of people that have been affected, I mean, deaths are bad and disabilities are bad, but this The buckets are not static, so the injured can become disabled and or dead.
So these buckets are not like, oh, you're injured and you're fine.
There's problems here.
A suppressed immune system is a big deal.
And I had a tough time last week, but I'm over it because, you know, I got to fight on.
But it really kind of devastated us when we saw the numbers.
And in fact, a little inside baseball...
The weekend before we released the report, one of our data scientists discovered an error.
The error was to the upside.
We had 13.3 million injured.
There was a calculation that was done wrong, and we doubled the number by fixing that.
We thought that was low, and then sure enough, we caught the error.
This is just devastating.
You're right, Mike.
What you're seeing in the real world, and we all experience it, is You know, you go to a restaurant, they used to stay open until 10, they close at 8 because they don't have enough people for the shifts.
My car got into a little fender bender, couldn't get it, it's an Audi, and there's no Audi dealership on Maui, so I had a devil of a time trying to get a part or even a body shop to take it because they had so many cars already on their lot, they couldn't view it, so I had to do a photo estimate.
And my insurance company finally decided that It was probably more beneficial to the insurance company to basically junk the car and sell it for parts.
My blue book was six.
They told me that, and they gave me ten.
Insurance companies are not nice people.
They obviously made a profit giving me ten, stripping the car.
They came, they sent a tow truck, took my car out of the driveway, it was gone, and I'm sure they stripped it clean for parts.
This is what's going on, and the economy is slowly kind of just becoming defective.
Does that make sense?
Well, yeah.
I mean, they stripped your car for parts.
I feel like the economy is being stripped for parts, right?
Every business is being stripped down and sold off for parts, and then it doesn't work synergistically like it used to, and we lose all these efficiencies and abundance factors, and we're all going to be poorer because of this.
Let's talk about productivity.
We measured what we could.
When we go through the damage report, we're only analyzing what was lost in wages and salaries.
What you can't get a good estimate for is the lost Supply chain knock-on effects, the delays, the worker who is chronically getting sick but doesn't call in sick that week, he's there or she's there, but they're working at 50% speed, or 35% speed, then that causes the people who aren't sick To have to pick up the slack, then they'd burn out.
And everyone who's not vaccinated that works in a place where they're heavily vaccinated know and feel burnt out because they're being relied upon to put in overtime, to take that shift.
So this is a catastrophic effect on the economy.
So let's run through the economic numbers now.
And again, this is just from the national accounts, lost wages and salaries.
The deaths accounted for $5.2 billion.
The disabilities accounted for approximately $52 billion.
And the injuries is the largest number, lost work time, $89 billion.
And, you know, before we put out the vaccine damage report, we put out the absence and work time data report.
And there, it's just alarming.
The graphs there are basically like this.
They go straight up like they're going to fold back on themselves.
And what I mean by that is the slope is accelerating into 2022.
So it went up a little bit in 2020, which makes sense.
Absence rates and work time loss because there was a lot of confusion.
There were lockdowns.
So it went up.
But it didn't break trend.
Then it broke trend in 2021.
A 20-year trend.
And then in 2022, it went even higher and 50% increase of lost work time over 2019.
50%.
So this is a 13 standard deviation event in 2022 in lost work time.
So what's going on is we have a pandemic now.
So the death numbers, the disabilities, and this lost work time suggest that we have a pandemic right now that they're not talking about because it's the vaccine.
If we had these numbers during 2020, they would have been heralded and stamped all over the media.
They're not being talked about or analyzed.
We're the only ones doing it that I know of.
And you know what's interesting?
I think Wall Street's starting to pay attention to us because People that are Wall Street professionals are now reaching out to me en masse.
And it's starting to dawn on people something has gone off the rails.
Yeah, clearly.
All right, so total economic cost just for 2022 is about $148 billion, according to the calculations at your report.
And again, I want to tell people they can get it at Finance Technologies, and that's spelled P-H-I, financetechnologies.com is where they can find that report.
Now, this is extraordinary for a number of reasons, because, of course, that's just one year.
So 2023 numbers, perhaps in another year from now, you'll be able to calculate that.
Correct.
And those numbers might be larger because, as you said, these categories aren't fluid.
Someone who's injured can become disabled and then be completely unable to work.
Or someone disabled may expire because of this.
So have you given thought to the 10-year outlook of the economic damage caused by these vaccine mandates?
Well, so...
Game theories would suggest if we stop it now, we can affect the outcome of what we're thinking.
If it doesn't stop, it gets worse.
So my goal is to end the vaccination program, have them polled, have a national discussion on what just happened so that people who are injured and getting sick don't go to the doctor and get treated for symptoms.
They get treated for the underlying root cause, which is a suppressed immune system.
So until people are aware of the problem, they can't fix it.
So that's what we need to do.
So if we don't stop this, let's just pretend that we carry on as is, and people don't know what's ailing them.
Teresa Long, Colonel Teresa Long, called me the day this report came out, and she said she's seen exactly the three buckets that I'm talking about, deaths, disabilities, and injuries, and the injured pilots can't fly.
So she said if we don't Between the vaccine debacle, the fact they can't recruit anymore due to the woke military culture, and the fact that people don't want to get vaccinated anymore, she said we won't have a standing army in five years at this rate.
Talk about real-world impacts and also munitions production.
We've been shipping a lot of munitions to Ukraine, and the Pentagon leaders have been talking about a shortage of munitions trying to ramp up factories in order to build more artillery rounds, for example.
Well, guess what?
You're going to need labor.
You're going to need workers to show up and do the work.
And you're killing the laborers right now.
So I'm really glad you just mentioned that, Ed.
I mean, how can we actually defend our nation, much less have a thriving economy, if we're killing the working class at rather alarming numbers here or injuring them to the point where they can't be productive?
Teresa Long said something interesting.
She said during the Vietnam War, the strategy of the Viet Cong was not to kill a soldier, but to injure a soldier.
Because for every soldier injured, it disrupted the supply chain with five other people having to care for that person.
That's right.
It slowed everything down.
So let's take this analogy to our labor force right now.
And I'm not saying this is the plan, but let's say you're a military and you wanted to take over the U.S. with infrastructure intact.
And you wanted to wound the enemy so that they were distracted and all their resources that would be geared up for war are now being put to taking care of a decimated labor force.
I'm not saying that's the plan, but if we don't stop this, someone could take advantage of that for sure.
Someone could literally waltz in here in five to ten years and we wouldn't be able to put up a fight.
You know, there's another factor there, too.
This was in headlines recently.
Because of the COVID lockdowns, we now have 10,000 active duty military members who have moved into the obesity column, and they can no longer qualify on the fitness test to be active duty.
So, we have rampant obesity in the military, and then about 25% of the nation's youth cannot qualify to be recruited into the military because of rampant obesity, which is tied to the lockdowns, lack of exercise, sedentary lifestyles, all these things.
It's all related.
It is, and the impact is devastating.
And, you know, so, you know...
The Vaccine Project and Humanity Project, we did for the world because it needed to be done, but you know, we're investors.
And so now, this research we just did, we applied to an economic report we just put out, where we said the unemployment rate really isn't 3.6, it's 2.6%.
Not because the labor market's tight, it's because the labor pool is shrinking due to death, disability, and injury.
So, what does that mean?
That means the Fed, who, let's pretend the Fed doesn't know what's going on, they're going to look at the labor market, And they're going to say, the labor market is still tight, we can't lower interest rates, or they'll fight the market wanting them to lower interest rates.
So they're going to get, they could potentially be deceived by the stats they're looking at, not understanding that the labor force is much smaller than they believe it is, and the unemployment rate is actually lower due to that.
And this could end up being a debacle of debacles if they don't start lowering interest rates soon, which they have to, the market wants them to.
Okay, you've just opened up a Pandora's box here we've got to jump into.
So the next FOMC meeting, I believe, is the first week of May.
The Fed is currently at, I think, a 5% interbank lending rate and considering a 25 basis point raise in early May, correct?
You're saying that the Fed may be wildly miscalculating the labor pool availability, not factoring in what you just talked about, which is encompassed in your report.
If the Fed miscalculates, And they don't lower rates.
They just pause and just hold it where we are.
Because I doubt they're going to raise, but they could.
But if they pause or raise rates, isn't that going to inflict economic Armageddon on the banks like Silicon Valley Bank?
We saw the same issue there because they're holding the long-term debt, mortgage-backed securities and treasury debt that pays nothing or near nothing.
And we have record withdrawals from banks across the country.
Devastating for the financial system.
Absolutely.
And again, I'm not sure whether they're incompetent or it's a plan.
It doesn't really matter at this point.
My thought is this.
The damage has already been done, so we have to pay the piper.
We've predicted a recession.
As of November, we came out with a recession report.
The new recession report we put out yesterday Predicts an even more severe recession than we had previously thought in November.
And so we're going to pay the piper.
The question is, do they exacerbate the problem by holding rates high for too long?
And I suspect they will do that because they're going to look at the labor market.
They're going to probably miscalculate and it's going to cause a devastating effect in this country and globally because You know, the market is already predicting the Fed is going to cut interest rates four times this year.
And even if they do cut interest rates, it's not bullish by any measure.
It just means that they're starting to signal to the markets that they're in an easing phase, and that easing phase won't generate itself into the economy until, you know, a year to 18 months later, because there's always a lag effect on policy.
So their tightening from last year is hitting us now.
But I thought the Fed was committed to not pivoting this year throughout the whole calendar year.
Correct.
But the market is saying that the bond market is calling BS on that.
So you go with what the Fed says and you go with the bond market thinks.
Two different things.
So somewhere there's going to be a collision.
Like somebody's going to be wrong in this.
Correct.
And the bond market was agreeing with them in their rate hike cycle until recently because the economy is slowing drastically.
Bank runs have begun with Silicon Valley Bank being the first.
And the...
The math is just upside down, and the bond markets are figuring that out, and that's what's going on right now.
So we're seeing a lot of layoffs right now, even McDonald's is laying off people, Amazon, the tech sector, real estate sector, massive layoffs.
When you look at the report that you put together at Finance Technologies about the human cost, do people realize that when you have a disability inflicted upon a working person or a death, you're actually destroying decades of knowledge and know-how?
Absolutely.
That allows these companies to function.
And you lose that.
Plus, on top of that, people are running out of spare money to buy, let's say, Chicken McNuggets.
You have a contraction.
But this isn't just a simple cycle.
You can't just reverse this and, oh, let's go back to expansion.
These people and their knowledge, it's in the grave, man.
You just can't resurrect that knowledge and plug it back into the system, right?
No, you can't.
And so, again, these are the types of costs.
And productivity losses we can't measure.
And there are multiples above the dollar figure I gave you.
So we gave you a $150 billion estimate.
It could be, you know, 2 to 10x that cost to the economy.
And it's devastating.
It's just absolutely devastating.
And the Fed's only answer to this, though, seems to be to print more money because, you know, it seems to me they can't raise interest rates anymore without breaking the system, even though inflation, real inflation, is much higher than the current rate.
So what are they going to do, just print money and bail out everything and hope that works?
Because it doesn't.
So what's interesting is people think they're printing money now.
That's not what they did.
So the Fed's balance sheet went back up.
But that money is not quantitative easing that was printed and used to buy government bonds.
What they did is they gave loans to banks against their underwater collateral to put their finger in the dike.
So we had a liquidity issue with Silicon Valley Bank.
All they've done is provided liquidity.
These loans do not get translated into economic activity and credit creation.
So that's important.
So this money that they've lent to these banks is not getting into the system.
So the credit contraction has been slowed but not stopped.
That's all they've done.
This is just a stopgap measure.
And I said publicly a couple weeks ago on an interview that I believe That they know that the system's collapsing, so wouldn't you want to kind of slow it down and control it?
And I believe the regional banks, a lot of them are going to disappear.
We're going to be left with six megabanks, and that way you can introduce central bank digital currency.
And this is not conspiracy theory.
People in hedge funds and around...
The world of economics and finance are seeing this.
This likely happens.
The regional banks are in trouble.
They probably get bought or married to bigger banks, and they want to control that speed.
If this thing goes fast and they lose control, then it's chaos, and that's not good for any of us.
Yeah, exactly.
It seems to me that at every turn, what the Fed and the Treasury are doing is distorting the free market principles that encourage people to make rational decisions that ultimately reduce aggregate risk.
For these long-term securities that are currently discounted because of the low yields.
So doesn't that encourage banks to make crazy decisions?
Like, oh, I'll go out and buy from these other banks these low-yield 10-year bonds, and then I'll just lend them to the Fed and get full face value.
And it's like, well, so how is the bond market supposed to be rationally approached at this point if face value doesn't mean face value and numbers are all magical?
You know what I mean?
What these loans have done, I mean, these banks now have these loans, but they've got to pay the Fed, so this hurts their profitability.
And they know that this is a temporary, if they're smart, they know it's a temporary stock gap measure.
So what they're doing is they're reducing their loans out to businesses that need the lifeblood of credit.
And so they're going to slow down their new loans because they're worried about the deposit base eroding.
So this is feeding on itself.
So it's already begun.
Credit is hard to get, and it's going to get tighter.
Yeah.
Okay.
So credit contraction kind of tells the story of where things are going.
Let me ask you on a global scale now, kind of to shift gears, let's talk about de-dollarization.
Maybe this isn't something that you typically focus on, but I'm sure it's in your wheelhouse.
We've seen a lot of activity recently, especially the Saudis and doing deals with China, Iran, Russia and so on.
Mexico interested in the BRICS nation systems.
The Saudis are seemingly at war with either Joe Biden or the Federal Reserve or maybe both with the sharp reduction in oil output, a million barrels per day out of OPEC.
Half of that from the Saudis alone, half a million barrels per day.
What's your take on what's happening with the petrodollar status and BRICS nations and their possible global reserve currency attempt?
Well, I think it's an attempt.
I think it's a lot of headlines.
First of all, as American citizens, we don't want de-dollarization to occur because it's going to be devastating for us.
So let's not root for the death of the dollar, but I'll give you my best guess.
I don't think I actually still believe the dollar is trying to find a nice low, and then once the credit contraction goes in earnest and we start to see banks fail, the dollar will go straight up.
And if we see a sovereign debt crisis, somebody big defaults like Japan or Italy or somebody, the dollar is going straight up.
The system is mostly in dollars.
Seven trillion in currency transactions a day, I believe.
Ninety percent of the other side of the trade is the dollar.
So, the dollar is still the primary currency, and you got to remember a lot of these countries, Turkey just did a bond issuance, US dollar denominated, so they're still using dollars.
They're not going to use the, you know, the Chinese or Russian ruble, whatever that may be.
So, they're still doing it, and there's 15 trillion in dollar denominated foreign debt.
So, the dollar system is I think it's going to be fine for a while, but we certainly should be concerned that there's now an open discussion about it where there was none before.
So it's not going to happen for a long, long time.
But this is the beginning of the loss of the empire.
I mean, these countries are no longer fearful of us to talk about this in the open.
This would probably whispered in dark corners, and now they feel...
Given the president we have and what's going on here, they feel like emboldened.
Yeah, yeah, clearly.
We've never seen the Saudis act this way with any administration in the U.S. that I can remember.
But let me ask you a different question.
Central bank digital currencies, the FedNow program.
Now, there are huge technical hurdles to actually implement such a system.
But they're talking about it now.
Do you think that that's something that they're actually going to attempt to implement nationwide by forcing or coercing people into digital wallets and ending the traditional banking system relationships of local banks and checking savings account and all that?
I mean, where do you think that's going?
So, I think that's the end game.
The system is out of oxygen and they need to replace it.
So, We've heard the Bank of International Settlements gentlemen talk about what they want to do with the central bank digital currency.
It's total control.
It's social control.
It's a loss of freedom.
I think the Fed knows that the system's changing, and the Fed doesn't want to give up their power, so they're going to try to marshal everybody into the central bank digital currency.
It's going to take time.
It's not easy to do.
It would be much easier if there were only six big systemically important banks left at the end of this.
If I put on my game theory hat, How do you get people to beg for a new system?
Well, things are collapsing and falling apart, so I suspect this gets introduced or they attempt to introduce it at the nadir of our economic pain when stock markets are much lower than they are now, when there's lots of joblessness despite the vaccine injuries, when there's unrest going on in other countries, when the headlines are at their most fearful They're going to have a solution for us.
And that's when people will beg for it.
I mean, you want to implement a system that's evil?
You get people to beg for it.
Yeah, it seems like universal basic income, but you can only get the free money if you sign up and use this system.
That's going to be very convincing for a lot of people.
Oh, free money?
I just have to join this wallet system and give up anonymity of all my other money?
Fine.
For some people who just need to be able to afford the highly inflated groceries, that's going to be their survival strategy, I would think.
Yeah, and again, you know...
Carlos, Yuri, and I, the founding partners, we don't exactly know what's going to happen, but the report we put out yesterday, we talked about the different flavors of recession.
So we're trying to understand that it's a dynamic process.
If we go systemically into a crisis in the next two months, the Fed will react.
What is the Fed's reaction?
So we're kind of wargaming this, and we don't know exactly what's going to happen, but We do know the system is in its end days, and we do know an economic reception is coming.
With those two things, usually asset prices go lower.
The Fed is not going to be able to bail out asset prices this time.
Well, they may try.
Maybe the Plunge protection team will take some steroids and print and buy like mad to try to stop it.
They'll try, Mike, but...
The political will for the Fed to do what they need to do to save the next downturn, and I believe you'll see calls for the Fed to buy stocks.
They're not allowed to buy stocks currently.
I'm going to make a bold prediction.
The next two or three years, people will beg the Fed to buy equities to help shore up the financial system.
So if that happens, that's the end of a rational market.
Well, that's the end.
We live in a feudalistic system where the central bank owns the companies, or at least parts of the company, you know, a certain percentage of the companies.
You know, a corporate CEO is now a feudal lord.
And that's it.
It's the end game.
It's a bank's ownership of the economy.
It's a top-down, dictatorial, tyrannical leader's, let's say, wet dream.
Right, right.
Okay.
Horrifying scenario, but there's one more horrifying scenario.
Let me run this by you.
Have you heard whispers of discussions of blaming consumers for the Silicon Valley Bank runs and saying that it's consumer behavior, i.e.
too many people too rapidly freaking out and sharing messages on their iPhones and then pulling their money out too quickly, causing that bank to collapse?
Or have a liquidity crisis, technically.
So the consumer is being blamed, or the customer is being blamed, and then whispers of rumors that in order to alleviate this, they must instigate delays on withdrawals or daily withdrawal limits across the banking system.
Have you heard any of this, or do you think that's even possible for them to consider doing?
Well, look, I don't put it past them, but I heard the same rumors that they were trying to float the idea of blaming the consumer.
Let's be honest here.
Silicon Valley Bank.
So let me tell you what happened with Silicon Valley Bank in reality.
So Silicon Valley Bank is heavily involved in the tech sector, the VC community, venture capital.
Venture capitalists get their money from pension funds.
They have billions and billions of dollars.
And their inflows were quite good.
Silicon Valley Bank was experiencing great growth in deposits because the venture capitalists told their new startup companies that they invested in, let's say you gave a check for round one to a new company of $10 million.
They told this company you needed to bank with Silicon Valley Bank.
They gave them great banking terms, but you had to keep all of your money Uh, that 10 million at Silicon Valley bank and Silicon Valley bank love that because they got, uh, you know, they're paying zero on that money or close to zero and then lending out and making what's called a net interest spread.
And so that's great business.
As long as the deposits were growing and they were buying more assets, uh, you know, deposits versus, uh, which are liabilities versus assets.
It was a great business.
Well, their growth in deposits hit a tailwind in, uh, January, February of 2022, the tech stock market and the economy started rolling over.
And one of the first places where funding dried up was in the internet startup game.
So the VCs weren't getting any new money invested.
When they get more money, they're able to fund more companies.
So what happened was, all of a sudden, the deposits stopped growing.
And these companies, though, that aren't profitable, had to withdraw the money from Silicon Valley Bank for operating costs.
So slowly, over 2022, the deposits started to flow out ever so gently.
And I think the VCs started to...
So they had an asset liability mismatch.
At one point, their deposits started to probably accelerate downwards as operating costs started to accelerate or companies were shut down.
Startup companies, that is.
And the VCs...
You know, it's been well documented that they pulled out billions of dollars before everybody else.
Then the public was alerted to it.
So this idea that the consumer was responsible for spreading bank failure rumors is nonsense.
In fact, it came to my attention that there was a Some sort of think tank that had some CIA individuals were starting to float stories about me causing the bank run.
Me and others.
That didn't go anywhere because what's funny is I was working so hard on the vaccine issue.
My first tweet on Silicon Valley Bank was the day, the Friday that the Fed took over.
So how did I cause a bank run without talking about it?
Well, but also the idea that the markets are so fragile or that bank liquidity is so fragile that two or three guys, by just talking about it, can crash the entire system.
Well, that's an admission of the fragility of the entire system right there, if that were the case.
Well, let's say I'm the one who caused it, which isn't true.
My defense would be, boy, your system's really just awful.
I'm a dude that wrote a book on vaccine damage, and I make a comment about a potential crisis coming and you're blaming it on me.
Gee, thanks, I'll take the notoriety.
But it's not that simple.
There was big, big withdrawals by big VCs that caused the run.
It was big, rich people that caused the run, not the tiny consumer.
Right, but you're pointing out something that's really critical, I think, for us to understand, is that we live in a time of increasing authoritarianism and censorship, where the powers that be say that you're not allowed to say certain things.
You're not...
Wow, we're getting some hail here, by the way.
So...
You know what?
God is talking to us, I think.
Yeah.
But I shall continue.
So you're not allowed...
I mean, it could come up in the future where you're not allowed to sell any stock because they would say, well, that might cause that stock to crash or the stock market to crash.
The system becomes so overbought and so fragile that you're only allowed to put money in or buy in or even in banks.
Oh, you can deposit but not withdraw because withdrawal, that's an act of financial terrorism.
You see.
Ed, I know we're about to wrap this up anyway, and now we're having crazy weather here, so a lot of noise on my side.

Welcome to this interview today on Brighttown.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighttown.
As you know, all of us here at Brighttown.com, we value life.
We value every human life, including the lives of children born and unborn.
And joining me today is an exceptional woman that's part of an organization that is diligently fighting for the lives of these innocent children.
Her name is Susan Swift.
She's the Vice President of Legal Affairs at the Right to Life League, which is based in California, believe it or not.
And she told me off-air that, in fact, this is the original pro-life movement in California going back quite a few decades.
So RightToLifeLeague.org is the website.
And Susan Swift joins us now to talk about that Right to Life.
Thank you for joining me, Susan.
It's an honor to have you on.
Thank you, Mike, for having me.
I really appreciate it.
It's my honor to be with you.
Well, we're just thrilled to have you here, and I chose this backdrop here today.
These are chromosomes that are kind of swirling on the screen.
Yeah, people can see that.
The reason I chose that is because isn't it true that an unborn baby has a unique genetic code that makes him or her a unique individual?
Absolutely it does.
That's genetics 101.
You have a unique set of genetics, and it was created at the moment that the sperm and egg came together, and that's the moment of fertilization conception.
And that doesn't change.
From that moment on, you are a unique human being, and you are simply developing along the same lines of code that you've been developing.
Divinely programmed to become as you go.
So you're starting as one cell, you develop into more cells, and then you become even larger, and then you're born, and then you continue to grow and finally to age.
That is all a continuum that begins with your unique genetic DNA at the moment of conception.
The important distinction then is that this genetic code of this unborn child is in fact different and separate from the genetic code of the mother.
It shares obviously some of the code, but it is not the same.
So this is a unique individual and is not tissue of the mother's body.
Would that be correct?
Absolutely.
There is a lie that's been perpetuated by the abortion cartel that somehow a baby is just a clump of cells, that it's not human.
They're trying to dehumanize people.
But frankly, every child, every unborn child, is its own unique DNA coding, if you will.
We are all clumps of cells walking around.
That genetic coding doesn't change.
And when that child is conceived in the mother...
He has his own body, his own cells, his own limbs, his nose, eyelashes, fingernails, everything, and they are separate from the mother's body.
That's where the pro-aborts all get caught up because they keep insisting on the autonomy of the mother, the right to her body, which I am 100% pro-choice before conception.
Right?
I'm a woman.
I want women to have rights over their bodies.
No one should be raped.
No one should have to undergo any kind of oppression.
Absolutely.
But we're not talking about the mother's body in the case of abortion.
We're talking about an unborn human being in the womb.
And what abortion does is it kills that human being in the womb before it can be born.
Well, right, exactly.
And murder is illegal in our society.
It's just that the pro-abortionists want to have an exception where murder is allowed as long as it's an unborn child.
But what do you say to those...
Because I've heard this logic before where they say, well...
If you oppose abortion or if you outlaw abortion, then you're causing forced births among women.
What would you say to that kind of presentation?
That's really silly because no one's forcing birth.
Show me who is raping all of these women and forcing them to give birth.
No one.
Is it the state?
Because that's their argument.
What they say is that these state laws force a woman to give birth.
Well, no one's raping these women.
They're getting pregnant.
They are becoming pregnant of their own free will and their own choice.
Let's set aside the issues of rape because they are so minuscule as to be almost imperceptible.
They're less than 1% of the whole continuum of things.
So you're talking about women who have voluntarily become pregnant.
It's an accident.
In some case, maybe they regret it.
Maybe they didn't intend or didn't anticipate becoming pregnant.
But they took all of the steps necessary to become pregnant.
And now they have regrets.
And this is now, we're using abortion as after-the-fact birth control.
And we are dehumanizing that unborn person in the womb.
Exactly.
Out of convenience.
Just out of convenience.
This is what's interesting.
The argument that I just mentioned, a lot of these pro-abortion women, they want to engage in sexual activity without, let's say, birth control, or maybe the birth control fails them, or what have you, but they don't want to be responsible for their decisions of engaging in sexual activity.
And instead of taking responsibility for their own decisions, they want to, in effect, sacrifice the life of another person to free them from the responsibility of their own decisions.
Do you think that's an honest characterization?
Absolutely correct.
You've said it perfectly, which is they're willing to sacrifice a life to avoid responsibility.
That's exactly what they're doing.
And it's very sad because in most cases, I will say the data that we do have is that about 74% of women who choose abortion – this is from a Guttmacher study.
Alan Guttmacher was kind of the modern-day father of the abortionist health care system.
Gutmacher Institute partnered with Planned Parenthood.
So it is the data arm of the abortion cartel, if you will.
And in 2014, they did a study and they found that about 73 to 74 percent of women who chose abortion did so because they believed they had no other choice.
That's not choice.
That's desperation.
Yes, they were under the power leg.
They're afraid.
And that is how we will eventually end abortion.
And when I say abortion, we have to recognize this is an elective procedure.
We're not talking about a procedure to save a woman's life.
Because abortion is never necessary to save a woman's life.
You have delivery for that.
You can have a C-section and save a mother's life in mere moments if it is necessary, if we're really talking about the life of the mother.
So abortion is never health care.
It is never necessary to save a woman's life.
But that's what the abortion cartel makes money on, and they sell it as a product to desperate young women who are afraid.
And they're marketed to that way.
I mean, no one ever warns a young couple just starting out, Hey, don't buy new cars.
Don't get car leases.
Don't go into credit card debt.
You might not want to pay for fancy coffees at Starbucks.
You've got to save your money.
They do that all the time, but they don't talk to couples about planning for a family.
They say, spend money on all of these things, but A child is too expensive.
Oh, you want to wait to have children because they cost so much money.
They don't say the same thing.
The debt companies, the credit card companies and the consumer market are not warning young people about the cost of, I don't know, education debt, running up a bill for college at $200,000.
They don't warn you about that.
They just want to make sure you don't reproduce.
And so they frighten young women into believing that their lives are going to be ruined by this baby and that they'll never be able to achieve their dreams.
All of that is a lie.
Because what it does is it informs their choice, their quote unquote choice, to choose to kill a baby for their own convenience.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's framed as women's reproductive health.
And I've always had issues with this terminology.
It's very misleading.
First of all, it's not reproductive.
It's anti-reproductive.
And it's not about health of the unborn child.
It's about their death.
So maybe it should be called women's anti-reproductive death, a policy there, instead of women's reproductive health.
They use lots of mind games and then censorship and then threats of violence against those who oppose abortion, which I find quite fitting because many of these people, they want to murder their own babies and then they want to commit violence against those who wish to protect those babies from being murdered.
So it's actually consistent.
They are philosophically indebted to violence.
Yes, the ideologues, it is right along the lines with a kind of a Marxist ideology to frighten.
Now, I think that young women who are facing that choice are probably afraid.
I don't think that most of them go along with the notion of celebrating killing babies, although some do.
But the ideologues are pushing a very Marxist trope.
in this case.
Because it is designed to divide and to separate a mother from the child, to alienate, so alienate a mother from her child that she is willing to commit murder in the womb by choosing abortion.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
Now, tell us a little bit about your organization, Right to Life League, some of the history.
And again, the website is righttolifeleague.org for people who want to check it out.
And I assume you also accept donations at that site?
We do.
We have a donate button there.
So if you go to right2lifeleague.org, right2lifeleague.org, you can go and see the programs that we offer.
You can see our news and events, and you can also see that donate button, which is right up there on the top.
The Right to Life League was founded in 1967, long before Roe v.
Wade was a thing.
We are America's first pro-life organization.
We were founded by a group of doctors and lawyers and concerned citizens who wanted to go up to Sacramento to lobby then-Governor Ronald Reagan.
He was set to sign the first therapeutic abortion bill in California.
It was called the Beelinson Bill.
And so these groups of doctors and lawyers and citizens went up to Sacramento and had a 15-minute meeting with Governor Reagan that actually went to, I've heard, more than an hour.
And in that meeting, they educated him about the truth of abortion and put the lie to the, it's a clump of cells and it's just, you know, conception tissue.
And now you've got to remember in 67, this is before ultrasound, before you could actually see the baby in the womb.
So that's why it was very important to educate people about the truth of abortion.
And when they got done, Reagan was very sad because he had already given his word to the Democrats that he was going to sign the Beelinson bill.
And he felt like he couldn't break his word.
So he promised the league that he would never again sign another piece of pro-abortion legislation.
And he kept his word all the way through his presidency.
Wow.
Wow.
It's hard to believe there was a day when the state of California would even produce a conservative president like Ronald Reagan because things have changed so dramatically since then.
California is often viewed, at least I would say by the rest of us in America.
I'm in Texas.
California, at least I should say the west coast of California, is viewed as like crazy town.
It is.
I've called it the abortion apocalypse out here.
2022 ushered in the abortion apocalypse.
It is a state that is controlled by the abortion cartel, and they are now teaming up with Big Pharma to push chemical abortion through every means necessary.
And it's very sad.
I'm a Texas native, so I get where you're coming from, and I'm appalled at what California has become.
It used to be a very, very pro-life state, and now it is owned and run by the abortion cartel.
That is highly, highly disturbing.
There are, I think, also spiritual implications to this.
Perhaps we can get into that.
But first, what is the state of the abortion pills by mail industry?
Because I know some states have pushed back against that.
Where does that stand right now?
Well, I think that we're seeing it like in places like Florida, and I believe Texas, Governor DeSantis has warned places like Walgreens and CVS and Rite Aid that they shall not distribute the abortion pill through their pharmacies, that they're not allowed to do that.
In January, the Biden administration loosened the restrictions on the abortion pill.
Now, chemical abortion is two pills.
It's mifepristone, which is the drug that interrupts the natural pregnancy hormone progesterone, and it starves the baby to death over a few days.
And then you take a second pill, Misoprostol, and that induces basically premature labor, very strong contractions, uterine contractions, so that the woman is usually at home and she delivers this dead or dying baby into her toilet.
That's how sick a chemical abortion is.
Now, the funny thing is they don't even like to call it, the abortion cartel doesn't even like to call it a chemical abortion because that sounds bad, right?
Because we're all so organic and we have our organic chicken and we have our holistic life and I need a detox, right?
Right, so we don't call it a chemical.
We don't call it pills.
We call it a medication abortion because Medicine sounds so much better, right?
So it's a medication abortion.
You have to remember, this is Marxist terminology to sell something.
But a chemical abortion is basically a drug cocktail.
And Biden released, he basically lowered the standards, they're called REMS, the risk evaluation mitigation strategies that the FDA applies to the abortion pill, and lowered them so that they could be distributed by prescription and It's
not safe for the mother It 100% kills the baby, but we're not talking about the baby's health now.
We're talking about the mother's health.
And with mothers, you're supposed to be dating the pregnancy to make sure that the abortion pill would be safe for her to take so that she's not too far along in her pregnancy.
Well, they threw those rules out as well and said, no, it's okay.
We'll just prescribe the medication.
By telehealth medicine, so that you can get on, type your information in, basically do it over the phone by a Zoom call or telehealth medicine, and without ever having been seen by a doctor, without ever having been scanned, to make sure, yeah, you really are eight weeks along or ten weeks along, and therefore chemical abortion is relatively safe, whatever they think.
I mean, 28 women have died in association with taking the pill that we know of, and that's an FDA statistic, so it's not that safe in my mind.
I'm sorry, but what you're saying is horrifying, but let me add another layer of horror to this, because people need to know the truth.
So you just said that what happens after these chemical abortions is that the woman then passes the dead fetus, essentially induces labor, gives birth, and then into the toilet, and then this is flushed.
So, I did a film a few years ago with an EPA whistleblower, Dr.
David Lewis.
The film is called Biosludged.
I have it on my screen, yeah.
Biosludged.com.
It's free for people to watch.
What we found out in talking with scientists and with this film, what we documented is that every city in America takes the waste, the sludge, the human feces, everything that's flushed down the toilets, they take that material, they dry it, and then they distribute it on food farms.
All over the country.
So they ship it out to rural areas.
So we live in a country where, quite literally, dead babies are spread as fertilizer on farms that grow the food that people eat in these cities where they promote abortion.
They did a movie, it was called Soylent Green.
It's a science fiction movie, if you'll remember.
Absolutely, yeah.
A classic.
Sci-fi classic.
Yes.
Soylent Green is people.
Yes, Soylent Green is people.
We are eating humans.
This is only one step removed from straight-up cannibalism.
In other states, they can process dead bodies now and flush them down the sewage system.
That's legal in 20 states, 20-plus states.
So...
How is it that those who are advocating abortion seem to be, and I'll ask you, but they seem to be completely oblivious to what happens next?
Like, this is going on your food, folks.
How can people not understand that it doesn't just vanish because you flushed it down the toilet?
I'm shocked, and I had not thought through that myself, so I'm glad that you've talked about your movie BioSludge.
I think everybody should see it, because that's literally what's happening now that the abortion cartel has the ability to just prescribe the medicine.
You drive through Walgreens, CVS, or Rite Aid.
You go home.
You take your pill at home on Friday or something, and you abort by Sunday.
These women are now alone.
For the most part, in these first trimester chemical abortions.
There's no one there with them.
There's no one there helping them through the agony of birth, because that's what it is.
It's premature birth, but that's what they're doing.
So no one's there with them.
And yes, these babies are dead and they're being passed.
Sometimes what happens, we know from the Daily Mail UK has a story.
There's different stories around where women will take these chemical abortion pills past the safe time of 10 weeks or 12 weeks, and they deliver babies that are born alive.
Oh, no.
I'm not kidding.
I have the receipts.
Yes.
And so there was a woman, I believe it was in the UK, who took abortion pills at 30 weeks.
She thought she was a lot sooner.
I guess the doctor didn't check, but for whatever reason, gave the pills.
She took them.
She delivered at 30 weeks a little baby boy who lived for four days.
Oh.
That's how sick this is.
And this is what the future of abortion is.
We're no longer talking about sidewalk counseling and things like that.
You can literally pick up your phone.
You can literally pick up your phone and just Google abortion pill near me or something.
And you can find these places that will that will just prescribe the pill to you.
You don't even have to see a doctor.
No one's going to date your pregnancy.
And then you can go and pick up these pills and or someone else can buy the pills for you.
Right.
A boyfriend could actually theoretically slip you the pill and starve the baby.
What if the boyfriend didn't want the baby to live?
Right.
So there are no controls on this at all.
It's not about women's health.
It is about the convenient disposal of human beings.
That's what this is, and it's being marketed as healthcare.
To get to your question, that's the lie that everybody believes.
Many people are ignorant.
They truly believe that abortion is a form of healthcare and that pregnancy is dangerous.
That's been a lie that's been perpetuated for forever.
More than 50 years.
And no one is correcting that, especially in the pro-life side.
We must message better, which is that delivery is always an option for the life of the mother.
If the life of the mother is truly in danger for an ectopic pregnancy, preeclampsia, any other condition that would actually endanger her life, delivery by cesarean section or other ways, that has to be considered because that That is, in mere moments, you can deliver a baby, even remove the ectopic pregnancy, but you can do it humanely without sucking it into a sink and destroying it.
But no one knows that because the myth is being told that abortion is healthcare when it is not.
Yeah, it's all total misinformation designed that way, and yet they try to push censorship of voices like mine and yours claiming that we are not telling the truth.
We're the ones who are telling the truth.
But, you know, something that strikes me in all of this, and I know this isn't the focus of your group, RightToLifeLeague.org is the website again, but...
I've interviewed guests.
I've interviewed doctors who have been criminally prosecuted for prescribing ivermectin, which is designed to save a life.
But yet these abortion pills are being pushed to destroy lives and no doctor would ever lose their license under this political environment for prescribing an abortion pill, it seems, unless perhaps state law kicks in in certain states, maybe Louisiana.
But the point is, isn't it interesting how they control the supply so they will allow something that kills people to be spread very far and wide, get it by mail anywhere you want it.
But something that saves a human life, oh no, you can't prescribe that.
Can't save lives.
That's not allowed.
That's unscientific.
That's not approved.
But how can an abortion pill ever be approved by the FDA as safe and effective if it terminates a human life?
By definition, that's not safe and effective.
You're absolutely right.
And there is, I believe there's a lawsuit that is currently going on against the FDA. I believe it was started in Texas by doctors.
They're actually challenging the FDA's approval of the drug.
And it was approved in 2000, by the way, under the Bill Clinton administration with a handshake sweetheart deal with the Rockefeller Population Council.
No surprise there, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
You can't make this stuff up.
That's how RU486, the French abortion pill, came into the United States.
And yes, RU486 is the same thing as mifepristone.
It's the same drug.
And that's how that population-controlling drug came into the United States.
And the FDA has been approving it.
And I think that there's a challenge going on out of Texas.
I believe it's in federal court, probably the Fifth Circuit.
That is challenging the FDA's approval of the drug on those grounds.
And of course, if they win, of course, it'll just get appealed up.
And if it ends up that for somehow that the FDA has been ruled to have overstepped its bounds, then what the FDA will simply do is just run it back through, run nipopristone right back through the process at expedited speed, of course, to get it, make sure back on the market.
But that is a That is a really excellent attack on this notion.
You're absolutely right, which is we have safe drugs like Ivermectin that have been given to people for more than 60 years and saved countless millions of lives.
And during the pandemic, we were not allowed to get it.
And in fact, they were threatening pharmacists and doctors who actually prescribed it.
Well, the rule is very simple.
If the drug saves lives, it won't be allowed.
If it murders humans, it's completely okay with the establishment.
But let me switch gears here.
In addition to the chemical abortions that you've been talking about, We have chemical castrations taking place in this country under the trans treatment of children.
And this is, you know, is this not a form of, I don't know, infertility, I mean lifelong infertility, especially if they undergo surgical procedures, reproductive organs are permanently maimed and scarred.
Is this just sort of the next stage of the abortion industry or is it from a totally different angle?
I believe it is part of, and it is an extension.
We already know that Planned Parenthood has started to invest heavily into the transgender surgeries, because that's where the money is.
Follow the money.
But yes, gender mutilation, that stops an entire line.
At least with abortion, you're killing one child at a time.
And perhaps that mother, maybe she's in her 20s, but maybe in her 30s she decides she's going to have a baby and she can still have a few babies at that time if she hasn't been horribly scarred by some sort of accident during the abortion process or the chemical abortion.
But with gender mutilation surgeries and chemical castration, which is the injection of testosterone into little girls and estrogen into little boys, it messes them up permanently for the rest of their life.
that terminates their line.
That is ultimately, that is gender side, you know, 2.0.
That is abortion care 2.0.
You don't even have to worry about abortion if you get enough women or girls, I should say, to identify as men and have surgeries because they will never reproduce.
And then the goal of population control is satisfied.
And in this way, it seems to me, this is just my assessment, not necessarily yours, but the abortion industry and now the trans industry, if you can call it that, is really a war on women.
Absolutely.
Absolutely it is.
To pretend that, as we see with Dylan Mulvaney, who is a dude, he's a guy, he's an actor, and a bad one at that, And he is pretending to be a girl with full-on makeup and everything.
He's advertising for Nike and wearing bras that he doesn't need.
And he's now got to deal with Bud Light and makeup places and things like that.
It's all let's pretend.
He's a TikTok influencer.
Who do you think we're influencing then?
Children.
We are telling, with drag shows and drag show library hours, children hours, we are telling children that it's okay to transform themselves into something that they are not.
And it is a mythology that we're selling to children, and it will sterilize them for life, and it will actually scar them, their ability to develop naturally and normally, and be able to procreate.
I think it's a war on procreation.
That's what I would call this trans push, this bad push.
Yeah, it's a war on procreation, or you could even argue a war on creation, or a war on God's creation.
And women should be especially careful because fertility for thousands of years, the entire human history, fertility has been a gift and a blessing into something to be celebrated and protected.
And now we're actually going after women's fertility.
We're telling women, just take a shot, you can be a boy.
Just mutilate yourself, and you don't have to be able to have children ever again.
Sterilize yourself.
This is a war on fertility and fecundity and reproduction.
That's what we're seeing, and that is absolutely in line with the abortion cartel's desire to profit from abortion chemicals and also gender mutilation surgeries and gender chemicals.
Yeah, you know, I think that these gender mutilation surgeries will one day be recognized as the horrifying perversion of humanity that they are.
And I think about the children of thalidomide.
That drug which caused women to give birth to children who were missing limbs.
And we all remember those pictures.
If we saw poor children, completely deformed, it wasn't their fault.
But then fast forward 10, 15 years, we're going to have a generation of children who are also mutilated by the gender mutilation industry who will also be deformed, infertile, unable to reproduce, and regretting this.
With scars and lifelong pain and, you know, new orifices in their bodies that don't belong there that are going to cause lifelong health risk problems and mental health problems.
No wonder suicide rates are through the roof.
I mean, this is a war on children.
Yes, and Goebbels would be proud.
This is right along in line with the Nazi attempt to breed a better race of people and make sure that certain people did not reproduce.
Goebbels would be smiling at this.
And you have to remember where Margaret Sanger came from.
Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, and she was a eugenicist.
That's right.
She was a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant woman, and she was a fan of Hitler.
She thought what he was doing was absolutely wonderful, and she founded Planned Parenthood to push the notion of birth control into black, brown, and Catholic neighborhoods, because she thought that they shouldn't be reproducing.
She even developed a whole program that she sold to black pastors called the Negro Project.
And she didn't want everyone to understand what she was really doing, which is to reduce the black population.
So she was careful about how she said it.
But that is exactly what her goal was, is to reduce the black and brown and Catholic population in the United States, just like what Hitler was doing.
And so that's why I say Hitler would be smiling at what Planned Parenthood, the abortion cartel, is doing with gender mutilations and things, because then you're selecting who is going to be able to breed, are you not?
Only those children who have been protected by their parents and who have been allowed to keep their fertility and haven't bought into the lie of abortion as health care and all of that, they're the only ones that are even going to have the capability in the next 20 years to be able to reproduce So that's why this influencing,
this TikTok, this marketing toward children to be trans, to be drag shows, all of these things, they are attacking the essence of fertility and a continuation of a nation, of a world, if you will.
I remember there was that TEDx talk by Bill Gates many years ago, and he had the formula on the screen of how to reduce population.
And he had multiple variables in there.
And one of the variables, though, was improved.
I think it was women's reproductive health, is what he called it, or women's health care.
And you and I know, oh, he's talking about abortion.
He's talking about population reduction.
Via abortion.
And in his mind, that's a great thing.
And that has really been adopted by many forces in society, many people who control the media or governments around the world.
And who?
And the World Health Organization.
And the WHO. Exactly.
The whole One World Global, the Soros, all of those people, they are pushing a population control.
That's why they push abortion and population control on poorer nations, right?
And then use the leverage of the United States and aid to force them to comply with certain requirements to reduce their population over time.
It's unbelievable.
Let me give resources where people can find more of your organization's work.
You have abortionpillinjury.com, which is very important.
You want to tell us about that?
I will.
AbortionPillInjury.com is a program that we have started to try to reach abortion-minded women and get outside of the bubble.
You and I and a lot of the pro-life media, we're in this bubble.
But there are so many young women who do not hear the truth of what the abortion pill does.
And so we created AbortionPillInjury.com so that...
The goal with that, if we can raise the funding for it, frankly, because it costs money to target ads, what you do is you have a website, but then you use ad targeting to drive traffic into specific phones.
You know, women of a certain age of this area, and if they search for abortion pill, it's very sophisticated.
I don't know how all of that works, but ad targeting is the way to go.
You can actually direct that in the first two or three pop-ups on their cell phone when they're Googling, you know, abortion pill, that you can get them to see, oh, abortion pill injury, huh?
You mean I can die from taking the abortion pill?
That's true.
You can.
How many have died?
Well, 28 have died in association with taking the pill.
We have the stats up there.
But the idea of the program is to get outside the bubble.
And so that's something that we have successfully launched.
We have the data that shows that it is highly successful when it is being used.
You know, it's targeting.
And what we would like to be able to do is drive that to every pro-abortion city.
And pro-abortion state in the nation.
But that takes a lot of money.
That takes a lot of work to be able to consistently market that because that's getting the truth to actual choice to a woman.
If you really want choice, do you really want to take these risks?
Do you want to risk hemorrhaging?
Do you want to risk sepsis and maybe even death?
Do you want to risk those things when you take an abortion pill?
That's something that women do not hear because they're not marketed to.
They don't hear the truth about the risks associated with the abortion pill.
And that's our attempt to do so.
But we're a nonprofit.
So that's why if you know any people who are really big with pro-life, kind of like we need a pro-life Bill Gates.
Bill and Melinda Gates, but pro-life, who want to actually spread truth around the nation.
That would be a good website to drive traffic to all of these different places.
That's who we need.
Why is it that so many of the billionaires are anti-life, anti-human, anti-freedom, anti-truth?
It's just amazing that the globalists seem to capture a lot of the big money people.
But thank God that you are there, Susan, and your organization, righttolifeleague.org, is the website.
