	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Wednesday, April 12th, 2023.
	Mike Adams here.
	Thank you for joining me.
	We've got an incredible lineup for you today.
	We have an interview coming up with Tom Luongo, who gives us insight into the, well, the machinations of the Federal Reserve, what's happening with the ECB in Europe, the socialist fascist plan.
	To introduce a one-world digital currency to take over the world and even to end the Fed, but not in a good way.
	Rather, to end America and make everybody a slave to these fascist socialist dirtbags in Europe.
	You know, the Davos crowd.
	So Tom Luongo coming up on that.
	That's going to be hard-hitting.
	We've got an interview also coming up with Michael Yan, our war correspondent, who is traveling in Central America, I believe, right now.
	And he's got some major breaking news of something that just went down there.
	I don't even know what it is.
	He's going to be joining us in a little bit to tell us about that.
	As always, I want to encourage you to visit censored.news because on censored.news, in bold especially, are the stories that I intend to cover here on the show.
	Right here, Elon Musk's Twitter, waging war on Substack and Brighteon.
	No links allowed, so you can't share Brighteon links on Twitter still to this day, even after Elon Musk purchased the platform.
	And again, they never gave us a reason, never told us anything, just ran all Brighteon links.
	And they're doing the same thing in the Substack now.
	Well, not exactly the same.
	It's slightly different.
	I think you can post Substack, but no one can share it.
	No one can retweet it.
	So it's kind of a ban on Substack.
	And I don't know what Twitter thinks they're doing.
	They think they're going to be an island where...
	There's no on-ramps and off-ramps.
	They're not even taking advantage of the hyperlink capabilities of the Internet, which is all about linking to other sites and other resources and other information.
	I guess Twitter is opposed to hyperlinking now, and Twitter wants everything to stay on Twitter where they control everything.
	Well, you know, look, I'm sorry, Elon, but that's not the way the world is moving.
	The world is moving into decentralization.
	We're getting away from the Facebooks and the Zuckerbergs.
	We're getting away, frankly, from Twitter if it's going to act that way.
	Look at Matt Taibbi.
	He left Twitter.
	He moved over to Substack.
	And Substack seems to be a lot more open-minded.
	Substack is letting people speak, and frankly, the quality of the content on Substack is far better than the quality of the content on Twitter.
	So I've even become a supporter of Substack from that angle, and I have a Substack page, and they haven't banned that.
	So there you go.
	Anyway, other news.
	Check this out.
	Lab-made chicken meat grown from cancer cells receives FDA approval.
	So if you had a hankering for some tumor nuggets with your GMO dipping sauce, they will not disappoint you.
	Soon you'll be able to buy so-called cultured meat, which is grown from cancer cells.
	That's right.
	These are the cells that never die because they're cancerous.
	And so all the cultured meat that's going to be rolled out here soon, whether it's cultured meat hamburgers, cultured meat chicken, cultured meat, I don't know, fish or whatever they come up with, it's all tumors, folks.
	So if you would love to have a cancer tumor buffet, you won't have to wait long.
	You'll be able to get cultured meat, artificial meat, lab-grown chicken meat, cancer, Maybe you'll be able to go through McDonald's and get a cancer tumor McNugget meal.
	Maybe it'll be cheaper than the regular chicken nuggets.
	Who knows?
	I'm not sure exactly where this is going, but if you love to eat tumors, just get ready.
	Your opportunity is coming.
	Now, moving on to other news.
	Zelensky, this is from the Express in the UK, Zelensky delivered blow as, quote, Ukraine's missile stocks could be decimated by next month.
	It turns out that the anti-air defense system of Ukraine has just about run out of ammunition.
	And with the Russians, of course, continuing to be able to manufacture munitions and fire drones and missiles and so on onto Ukraine, they are depleting Ukraine's ability to shoot down anything that's coming in.
	And according to this article, Ukraine's going to run out of these munitions by May 23rd.
	After which, it seems like Russia will be able to have total air dominance, I suppose, over Ukraine.
	What's that going to look like for Ukraine and for NATO? Not a good picture for the West, if indeed this is accurate.
	At the same time, the United States and other NATO countries are running out of munitions to send to Ukraine.
	And we have other stories we've reported on Natural News and some of our other websites how the munitions are running out to such an extent that top military people in the Pentagon are warning that the United States no longer has the munitions supply to fight a war with China, as if we ever did.
	Now, Are they putting out disinformation on purpose to try to pretend to be weaker than they are?
	I don't know.
	I suppose that's a possibility.
	But I think the greater possibility is that our Pentagon is run by woke idiots who are too focused on being gay and trans and not actually manufacturing ammo.
	So I guess they can...
	Maybe they can catapult LGBT flags toward China to see if that will hurt the Chinese.
	I doubt it will, but we won't have any actual missiles or munitions to fire.
	So go figure.
	All right, next story.
	This one is from Brandon Smith at altmarket.us.
	And Brandon writes about something called Project Icebreaker, the beginning of a one-world digital currency system.
	And in this article, he's talking about the BIS, the Bank of International Settlements, and how they are attempting to monopolize the global settlement of digital currencies that are currently national currencies.
	Let's say the digital ECB, the digital euro, and maybe the digital dollar coming up soon out of the Fed, and maybe, you know, like the digital yuan from China, or the digital yen from Japan, or what have you.
	Or maybe the digital rupee.
	But the BIS wants to be the settlement authority over this, and then ultimately the BIS wants to say, well, hey, why do we even need national currencies?
	They just want to eliminate the digital dollar, the digital rupee, the digital yen, whatever, and just have one world globalist government currency.
	You know, one ring to bind them all.
	And in the darkness bind them, right?
	One ring to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.
	So this is Lord of the Rings as a globalist currency control system that is being pursued by the BIS. And frankly, if we give in to digital currency in the United States that is controlled by governments, we will lose our freedoms.
	And this is why, lately by the way, I have become a lot more interested in the viability of privacy coins as an alternative to the digital currency wallet systems that the globalists are trying to push on us.
	I think that decentralization is the key to human freedom.
	And although I have been very critical of Bitcoin and crypto, The shills and the hype and all the false promises and everything over all these years.
	You know, it seems to me that a lot of the crap has been shaken out of that system right now thanks to Sam Bankman fraud.
	And as a result, we're getting to kind of maybe a new chapter of crypto focused on privacy coins.
	Privacy coins that have real utility where people aren't coming to you and saying, oh, buy this, you're going to get rich, mortgage your house and throw everything into this coin.
	It's going to the moon.
	No, not that.
	Everyone's tired of that.
	We don't need that.
	What we need is something that just works to move money, works for transactions, something that is private, that is decentralized, that isn't controlled by governments, where we can buy and sell and trade small things like garden seeds or cups of coffee or what have you, peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
	This is what we need.
	And I think there are some real innovations taking place in this space.
	I am definitely exploring more in this space right now and seeing what I think is real, what may be viable, or what's hype, what's maybe not viable.
	But right now, more than ever, I think, in the whole history of crypto, people are looking at alternatives to the banking system, alternatives to the digital dollar that's coming, and alternatives to fiat currency.
	This is why people are buying gold and silver.
	This is why people are buying land.
	This is why people are buying ammunition and firearms and also crypto.
	So right now, anybody who knows what's up in the world is trying to get out of the fiat currency systems, out of the banking systems, out of the control grid of globalism and into hard assets that will hold value.
	I am all in favor of that.
	Alright, we're about to jump into an interview with Tom Luongo, the financial and economics expert.
	Fascinating individual.
	Before we do that, just thank you for your support of HealthRangerStore.com.
	And we've got some products to share with you today.
	We've got a new liposomal Curcumin, that's in the small bottles you can see there.
	And then it's a really great way to have maximum absorbability for curcumin, which is a constituent of turmeric, of course.
	We've got the Bugs Away spray, which people love in the springtime and the summertime because it's just all natural essential oils.
	There's no DEET. There's no toxic chemicals.
	There's nothing that's going to harm you.
	There's nothing cancer-causing.
	It is natural oils.
	A very effective bug spray.
	Maybe not as effective as DEET because it's not as toxic, but it smells better and it still protects you.
	And then we've got blueberries.
	And we have freeze-dried blueberries.
	We have them in number 10 cans and we have them in these bags here.
	We got a new shipment of blueberries in, pass all our tests.
	You know, we do the testing, the E. coli, the heavy metals, the glyphosate testing, well, salmonella, yeast and mold and so on.
	And the blueberries are all good, all confirmed clean.
	We have those available.
	They've already been actually moving quite rapidly because they were out of stock for a while.
	Blueberries are great to have in your food supply because, well, a lot of people's stored food doesn't contain fruits.
	It's a lot of storable food, frankly, out there.
	The lower-priced stuff is processed food.
	A lot of it's like textured vegetable protein and MSG and salt and sugar and fillers and stuff.
	But you might be lacking real fruit, and that's where blueberries come into play.
	We've got them in number 10 cans, which are rodent-proof, essentially.
	These bags are not necessarily rodent-proof, but the number 10 cans are, if you want to get those, they're steel cans that are sealed for long-term storage.
	Anyway, you can check all this out at healthrangerstore.com, and we thank you for your support.
	Now we're going to move ahead with the interview with Tom Luongo.
	Alright, welcome to today's interview with one of our favorite financial analysts, Mr.
	Tom Luongo joins us.
	His website is tomluongo.me.
	His blog is called Gold Guns, Cold Goats and Guns!
	I'm going to get it right.
	It's three G's and it's three very important things.
	I was just saying, Tom, I own goats too.
	I have Nigerian dwarf goats.
	And you were just saying one of your goats gave birth this morning.
	Is that right?
	Yeah, as a matter of fact, she did.
	And she's a mini Nubian, so she's half Nigerian, dwarf, half Nubian.
	Oh, that's great.
	She's one of my older does, and we were really a little worried about her, because last year's birth for her was pretty traumatic, actually.
	And being an older doe, we weren't sure what was going to happen.
	And we were literally laying out in the shelter with her last night at about 10.30, going, are you going to have these tonight or what?
	Because we didn't want to wake up in the morning and have what we had last year, which was To have her laying down in the mud with a kid half out of her and she nearly dead, which is what happened last year.
	We were able to get her through that and we saved the kids and saved her.
	And then she had two beautiful kids this morning.
	Everything worked out okay.
	Oh, that's wonderful.
	That's wonderful.
	I love the fact that you have so many different animals there as well.
	We love animals too.
	We have our Belgian Malinois right here in front of the desk in our studio.
	Hey, there's something else we have in common, Tom, that I learned about from listening to many of your interviews.
	I mean, I'm a fan of your work, by the way, and I love to listen to your interviews.
	I love the fact that you don't hold back.
	I love the fact that you are opinionated because I think you're correct, but we'll get to that.
	You and I both have a background in chemistry and running analytical instruments in chemistry.
	And I was so shocked to find that out because, you know, I'm the lab director of our ICP-MS lab.
	We do heavy metals analysis for food analysis.
	I used to do that.
	I never did ICP-MS, honestly, but...
	I jockeyed in ICP AES for years, so atomic emission spectroscopy.
	Exactly.
	And food analysis.
	I worked for Food Lab for a while.
	I got fired from that job.
	Is that right?
	I used to do fat analysis for calcium, magnesium, and whatnot for food analysis.
	What's the word I'm looking for?
	The USDA Just like Nutrition Facts label compliance?
	Nutrition label.
	Thank you.
	No, seriously.
	I used to do this years ago.
	That's amazing.
	See, I was really stunned to learn that about you.
	And just yesterday, we received shipment of a new gas chromatography interface for our triple quad, and we're going to use that to test for dioxins in the food.
	So it's like...
	Wow, so a triple quadrupole mass spec to do GCMA? Yeah.
	I didn't do a lot of GCMA in my life, but a lot of metals analysis I used to do.
	I mean, atomic absorption, graphite furnace atomic absorption for me was the big thing.
	I did a lot of years of that.
	I've done SEM work.
	I've jockeyed an ICP. I've done it all.
	See, I'm not surprised I learned that because, you know, I consider you to be a very bright person.
	I think you have a really good grasp of what's going on globally, connecting the dots on the financial situation.
	And, you know, the fact that you're kind of a multidisciplinary person is no surprise.
	But let's get into the financial side, if you don't mind.
	For those listeners who are new to you, the phenomenon that is Tom Longo and your current, let's say, the core theory that you are espousing, and some people get it, some people criticize it, which is fine, but could you just give us a quick summary of this theory of Jay Powell, the Fed, the Euro, all of this?
	Sure.
	When you have interest rates at the zero bound for close to 15 years, thanks to the first the Greenspan put, because Alan Greenspan liked to live in the limelight and be the accepted new cool kid on the block, to then have the Fed run by honestly committed, in my mind, communists, Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen.
	We're at the zero bound for all these years.
	they're the ones that created this immense level of offshore credit leverage within the dollar markets.
	And so Jay Powell has always been the guy at the Fed saying no to all of this.
	And he's always been a kind of a hawk, hawkish figure.
	He's always been part of that group that was a bunch of hawks.
	And so when he became Federal Reserve Chair, he was very adamant that he wanted to normalize interest rates.
	Now, the question is, when you think about it, so much of what the, what I like to call Davos is trying to accomplish can only be done with the extension of zero bound interest rates into perpetuity.
	And And for Powell to aggressively raise interest rates the way he has is a very strong signal that he's not doing so to quote-unquote tame inflation, that that's the cover story from the Keynesian perspective.
	We have to raise interest rates to tame inflation because the Keynesians only think of things in the Demand side of the curve.
	But we have a problem in that coming out of COVID, we were dealing with supply chain problems.
	We were dealing with a cost-push inflationary model, which is that we had broken supply chains, and so there weren't enough goods getting to market, and prices were rising simply because people were willing to bid whatever they could get for.
	They were willing to bid anything to get gasoline, food, this, that, and anything else.
	And that's what was pushing inflation higher, along with all the CARES Act spending, which Powell...
	It was sterilized, starting in the middle of 2021, when he raised the reverse repo rate payout rate by the Fed, five basis points above the Fed funds rate, which sucked $2 trillion into the reverse repo market.
	And the people who've been screaming about this the most are over in Europe.
	American banks haven't been screaming about it.
	So it's clear to me that if the United States wanted to regain control over its monetary policy and wanted to push back against This push towards MMT, central bank digital currencies and all the rest of it.
	Well, that would mean that the Fed doesn't need to exist anymore and that the commercial banking interests don't need to exist anymore because they want to do away with the two-tiered monetary system, which goes from that the central bank issues the currency to the commercial banks and the commercial banks then lend that out into the real world.
	Well, what Davos wants to do is collapse that so that you deal directly with the central bank and we cut out the commercial banks.
	Well, who does the Fed work for?
	The Fed doesn't work for Klaus Schwab.
	The Fed works for Jamie Dimon.
	Yeah, it works for J.P. Morgan.
	It works for whomever is the...
	They work for the commercial banks.
	And at the end of the day, that's who they're supposed to serve, along with the quote-unquote dual mandate from Congress for stable prices and full employment, which, by the way, are mutually exclusive mandates, which is part of the reason why the Fed has always been such a mess.
	So, to me, it's very obvious that watching Powell do what he's been doing is going completely against the grain of what the globalist architecture, the globalist plan is, which is to collapse the old monetary system and default on all the pensions and then issue You know, perpetual debt and you put everybody on UBI, the vault on the pensions and all the rest of it.
	But Powell's saying, no, we're going to have the commercial banks still be at the center of capital formation in the West.
	And we're not going to give up the dollar reserve currency, which would be the case if they say that the zero bound.
	Sorry, go ahead.
	No, I'm sorry to interrupt, but it seems like Powell is in a very delicate bind right here because, of course, the more he raises rates to fight the Davos crowd, the more precarious the debt holdings are of a lot of domestic banks, as we've already seen.
	So how does he navigate that tightrope?
	He does so by eventually stopping raising interest rates, right?
	And we're not sure where that's going to be.
	I think he may be.
	I don't think he's quite done yet.
	Yeah.
	But what he really wants to do is shrink the Fed's balance sheet.
	What he really wants to do is wring excessive leverage out of the system.
	I've been saying that it's, you know, the talking point that I've kind of reduced this down to is the Fed's not trying to fight inflation by raising rates.
	They're trying to kill the Eurodollar system, the offshore dollar system.
	But not even that's not quite fair because it's really the leverage within the offshore dollar system.
	He wants to get rid of the infinite leverage created by the zero balance.
	Money is free so that you can lever up in the shadow banking system to infinity.
	And therefore take away the Fed's ability to actually conduct monetary policy.
	So how does he thread this?
	He threads it by doing exactly what he's done so far and watch the fallout and shore up the commercial banking system here in the United States by setting up a virtuous cycle for the domestic banks to shore up their balance sheets.
	And part of what the Bank Term Funding Program, which was announced during the blow up of Silicon Valley Bank, was to allow those, say, the regional banks that may have these big holes in their balance sheets when they had to put U.S. Treasuries on their balance sheets to offset their posits.
	And they bought those things that say, you know, 1.5%, 2% on the 10-year.
	It goes to 4%.
	They're down 20%, 25%.
	on their reserves are down that much.
	What he's allowed them to do is to pledge those at part of the Fed And then go into the market and buy new ones at face value and fold a hole in their balance sheets.
	Now, who's hurt by this?
	The ones who can't do that.
	Exactly.
	The European banks.
	All right.
	So Jay Powell, he drilled a giant hole in the side of the Titanic, but he has enough lifeboats for the domestic banks to keep them afloat.
	Meanwhile, do you think his strategy is working in Europe?
	How does the buyout of Credit Suisse fit into this?
	Well, the buying out of Credit Suisse is different because, well, there's two reasons.
	One, it's actually part of it because, to remind everybody, Credit Suisse is the primary dealer of U.S. Treasuries.
	So, in no way, manner, shape, or form was the Fed going to let a primary dealer go down.
	Right.
	Right?
	So, what happened with Credit Suisse was very, when you look at it, was to force the merger of Credit Suisse and UBS to Yes.
	Yes.
	Well, but did they, because there were covenants within those AT1 COCO bonds that Credit Suisse had on their balance sheet, that they could do that under extreme circumstances.
	So the idea that the Swiss National Bank broke the law, that within Swiss banking law, no, that was allowed.
	In European banking, they wouldn't be able to do that.
	So the AT1 COCO bonds that exist within the European banking system are under different set of covenants.
	So what they were able to do there is they write those AT1 bonds down to zero and stiff those bondholders.
	Because here's the thing.
	It was about $17 billion.
	Is that what that was?
	Yeah, it was $17 billion.
	And think about this for just a second.
	I want you to realize what was going on here.
	Under normal circumstances, the bondholders would be in front of the shareholders in Credit Suisse.
	So if Credit Suisse were to...
	Think of it this way.
	If you liquidate Credit Suisse, what happens?
	The bondholders get paid out first, they get converted into equity, they become the owners of Credit Suisse.
	If you drive the market cap, for example, of Credit Suisse down to $17 billion, when you convert the $17 billion in debt into equity, they are now 50% owners of the new company.
	You had to double the number of shares that were out there.
	So now whoever holds those bonds becomes the owners of Credit Suisse.
	It also works as a reverse poison pill for anybody trying to buy Credit Suisse.
	Interesting.
	Because then, you know, on the day before Credit Suisse was, this deal was brokered, UBS's market cap was down to $56 billion.
	So that $17 billion would have then represented like a 30% ownership stake in UBS, and they would have wound up, these same people would have wound up owning UBS The new UBS Credit Suisse entity that was created.
	So by writing those cocoa bonds down to zero, you bypass all of that.
	UBS and Credit Suisse are still owned by their existing ownership, and the Swiss National Bank still has their transmission system for their monetary policy, and the Fed still is able to defend one of its primary dealers for US Treasuries in the European market.
	The kicker as to this, as to why this fits into everything I've been saying, is because, as they complained about it, the European Central Bank and the European Banking Commission were not consulted in this deal whatsoever.
	The Fed, Swiss National Bank, Credit Suisse, and UBS were involved, and I have it on not good authority, but I have my suspicions that the Bundesbank was involved as well in Germany.
	And the fact that none of these people talked to the EU about this, Tells me everything I need to know that I've been correct in my assessment that the Fed is actually targeting the European Central Bank and breaking with this policy that we're going to inflate to infinity to fight climate change and fight an infinite war against the Russians, which is the reason that they want to do this and which is the reason they want all this to happen.
	So that's a cover story.
	That's fascinating, Tom.
	So then for Powell to inflict as much pain on the Davos crowd here, if he can't raise rates, he could at least hold them where they are as long as possible.
	And that seems to be consistent with their plan.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, and then at the same time, allow, as Daniel DiMartino Booth keeps saying, let QT chunk away in the background, selling off U.S. Treasuries, selling off mortgage-backed securities wherever it's possible, and shrinking the balance sheet.
	You shrink the balance sheet, you shrink...
	The credit markets, you shrink the leverage out of the system, and the Fed, you know, it's not going to be easy to get out of this.
	It's clear this is what their plan is, and I caution everybody when I talk about this stuff to say that, look, I'm not saying that the Fed is doing anything here that they wouldn't do in order to survive themselves.
	They are under existential threat, okay?
	It's just that simple from outside forces.
	Who clearly want to change over the way we handle capital and how we do capital formation.
	Are we ideologically going to use commercial banking and private risk assessment to affect the formation of new capital?
	Or are we going to put it in the hands of central planners and the central banks and thereby the central governments through a central bank digital currency and all that that entails?
	Well, that's the fundamental fight here.
	And I think that it's very clear that Wall Street doesn't want to give up this power and they never have.
	And they're going to fight the old colonial European powers who are broke.
	So I'm getting a picture of like two giant Godzillas fighting and we the people are like buildings are falling on us and there's rubble smashing our cars and we're trying to escape the Godzilla feet, the giant feet that are stomping around because we're just trying to keep our small business going or whatever.
	But there's definitely some fallout that's happening from this.
	Sure.
	Aren't we also seeing a lot of faith lost in the domestic banking system because the outflows out of the U.S. banks have been tremendous since SVB collapse, and even I think last week was $26 billion in outflows from the banks.
	Now, maybe some of that went into Treasuries.
	Sure.
	Probably some did, yeah.
	It did.
	A lot of people are opening up Treasury Direct accounts right now.
	Okay, yeah, makes sense.
	I had Oakley on the podcast, on the Gold Coats and Guns podcast a few weeks ago, and he's like, yeah, I'm...
	I'm in variable rate U.S. Treasuries.
	I don't know when Powell's going to stop raising rates.
	And I know a lot of people.
	I've talked to a lot of people, and they're all doing the same thing.
	But this is also part of the transition period.
	This is what has to happen.
	You have to create a virtuous cycle at this point for demand for U.S. Treasuries.
	At the same time, the Europeans are desperate for collateral.
	And the Fed has something they put in place in July of 2021 called FIMA, F-I-M-A. Which is basically a foreign repo facility.
	Because the U.S. domestic banks will not accept European sovereign debt as repo collateral in the private transactions, the only recourse to get U.S. treasuries is to go to the Fed.
	The Fed opened up this facility two years ago on purpose.
	And interestingly enough, Martin Armstrong was talking about this.
	He said, look, go look at what happened with FIMA during Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse.
	And certainly it was during Credit Suisse.
	They tapped FIMA for $60 billion for the U.S. Treasuries.
	Previously, during COVID, I think it was $1.4 billion.
	But really, FIMA didn't really come into existence in its current form until late July of 2021 at the July 28th, 2021 meeting.
	So this is a big thing.
	So a lot of the inversion we're seeing in the U.S. yield curve is coming from the European...
	Central Bank and the European banking system buying U.S. Treasuries to get collateral to shore up the offshore dollar markets and their U.S. dollar liabilities.
	And they're actually buying the stuff that the Chinese are selling and the Japanese have been selling and other central banks have been selling to defend their currencies as the dollar rises and as rates rise.
	And it's very clear if you map the TIC report, the Treasury International Capital Report, And you break it down by region of the world.
	And I've done this.
	I've broken it down by Eurozone, rest of the world, and Asia-Pacific.
	And you can see it as clear as day.
	Asia-Pacific has been selling, the Europeans have been buying, and the rest of the world is kind of neutral.
	And so this was going on all throughout 2022 and up until the last...
	And in Q4, there was just net buying in 2022.
	Now, we don't have the latest numbers for Q1 because the Treasury...
	International Capital Report.
	The TIC report is three months in arrears.
	So we won't see what happened in Silicon Valley Bank and around Credit Suisse in those numbers until like June.
	Right, right.
	So, but I suspect that when we get those numbers in June, it's going to bear out that the, you'll see like Bermuda and the Caymans and Belgium, which is where Euroclear is, and a variety of other, you know, Eurozone markers will show you know, Eurozone markers will show net buying of treasuries.
	And that's part of the reason why the inversion on the U.S. yield curve has persisted.
	And some of it is that there's a recession, you know, there's going to be a credit deflationary induced recession on the horizon as well.
	I just don't think it's going to happen in 2023.
	Oh, really?
	I think it's going to happen in 2024.
	Oh, really?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, so many questions from that.
	So let me ask you this.
	Sure.
	In addition to people taking deposits and putting them into treasuries, we've also seen – this is a crypto question.
	So we've also seen Bitcoin, I think, just hit 30,000 today.
	Yeah.
	So it's recovered quite a lot from where it was.
	The theory is that some people are choosing to look at crypto more seriously now that there's been – a lot of the fallout, the FTX fallout has kind of – You know, burned out the underbrush of fraudsters and hucksters and whatever.
	Not that they ever completely go away.
	But what's your take on crypto right now as an alternative?
	Are more people looking at it at the moment, or what do you think?
	I just think that there's no liquidity in Bitcoin.
	I think there are people...
	I think that, you know, whatever net buying is there, and it's just a directional trade because all the leverage...
	From all of these Ponzi schemes that were, we called DeFi for three years, is gone.
	The Fed blew up.
	Terraluna and, you know, FTX, all of these.
	Yeah, Three Arrows Capital, all of it, yeah.
	Right, all of this stuff.
	And so it's all gone.
	And then if you look at, if you go look at a weekly chart of Bitcoin, and I'm not going to pull it up here, but you go look at a weekly chart of Bitcoin, there's about an eight or nine week period where Bitcoin didn't move.
	Like, you know, it didn't move, it didn't move $1,000 a week.
	And, you know, Bitcoin usually moves $5,000 to $6,000 low to high on a weekly basis.
	So we were looking at Almost historic levels of a lack of volatility in Bitcoin, right?
	The last time we saw anything like that was right before Bitcoin broke out in November of 2019.
	In the six or eight weeks, maybe even 13 weeks, I think, if I remember correctly, Bitcoin's trading in a very tight band, $8,800.
	And then, boom, it started to move.
	And then once it closed above $14,000 on a quarterly closing basis, I told everybody to go long, and it shot up to $68,000.
	And then on the way back down, once I saw this historic level of lack of volatility, then the question becomes at that point is, are we getting set up for the next Slammy?
	Or is the next big stablecoin getting blown up by the Fed?
	Or have we rung out all of the leverage Within the crypto markets or the Bitcoin market, to be explicit.
	I also talked to some people who were much closer to, that watched the on-chain statistics in Bitcoin carefully.
	And they all pointed the same thing, which is that a lot of Bitcoins were taken off the exchanges and put into cold storage.
	So that means there's no liquidity.
	Therefore, if there's no liquidity, there's no leverage within the futures markets.
	And so any buying whatsoever under those circumstances is going to see the thing pop.
	And that's in many ways what we've seen.
	And then it ran right up to $28,000, which was, you know, technically there was some overhead resistance at $28,000.
	And then we've moved back into the 30s, which is actually really quite impressive as well.
	So I just don't know that it's much more than that, which is also good because now we're getting back into real price discovery in Bitcoin.
	Well, exactly.
	But my follow-up question there is, so getting to the Fed and Jay Powell, so he's at war with the Davos crowd, as you mentioned, but then it seems like the Fed also is at war with domestic crypto that they don't control.
	I mean, would you agree or disagree with that statement?
	Because, you know, the Fed now, interim system, and so on, doesn't the Fed ultimately want to control digital currency in the United States?
	Well, what they want is, and what they need, is a better back-end than they currently have.
	For payment layers and interbank payments.
	And that's what Fed now really is.
	I don't know that the Fed is really hostile to Bitcoin.
	Okay?
	Powell's made it abundantly clear that he hates stablecoins.
	Right.
	Stablecoins to him are just synthetic dollars, which they're basically just Eurodollars.
	And he's at war with...
	And then they're easily leveraged Eurodollars against magic beans.
	Not even against, you know, freaking Euros or British Pound.
	Right.
	No, like Tether.
	They're just literal Eurodollars...
	You know, created and collateralized by magic beans.
	This is just, this is insane.
	That all needs to go away.
	But as far as Bitcoin's concerned, the Fed, for the most part, has been very clear they consider it a commodity.
	So very similar to gold.
	They don't like the idea of Bitcoin and gold, you know, making their dollar look bad.
	But I think at a certain point, the Fed has to choose, you know, like the ECB has to choose.
	And I'll explain what I mean by this in a minute.
	I've been saying for a long time now that Christine Lagarde is trying to maintain credit spreads between European Like between German and Italian debt and between German and U.S. debt.
	And she can defend those credit spreads in order to keep interest rate swap arrangements and carry trades and all the rest of it from blowing up on her and then blowing up her banking system.
	Well, she can choose between maintaining credit spreads or she can defend the euro, but she can't do both at the same time.
	Because in order to defend credit spreads, you've got to sell the euro.
	And if you want to defend the euro, then you've got to let the credit spreads go.
	And if you watch U.S.-German credit spreads, they have tightened dramatically over the last...
	So, by the same token, if the Fed wants to shore up the American banking system and wring out some of this excessive leverage, they're gonna have to allow people to escape and they can't really defend the gold price the way they have in the past.
	The dollar versus gold and the dollar versus Bitcoin in the past.
	They're gonna have to let those go as well.
	Same kind of problem that the Fed is running into, which is why I don't see the Fed really upset with the gold at $2,000 in the cash market.
	Silver back at 25.
	Not that I really think that silver is much of a monetary metal at this point.
	But the same thing, I don't think they really care about Bitcoin too much.
	As long as there's no excessive leverage building within the crypto market, certainly within the Bitcoin market, I don't think they care.
	And to be honest with you, there's so much leverage that's been taken out of the gold markets as well.
	Like, you know, the amount of paper gold trading on the COMEX and the LBMA, much, much lower than it was even two or three years ago.
	So, you know, I... At the end of the day, I think that there's a lot of, you know, there's trade-offs for everybody.
	And if they want to defend one thing, they're going to have to let something else go.
	And so the years of being able to manipulate all the prices all the time goes away at 5% interest rates as opposed to 0%.
	Good point.
	Yeah, that's a really great way to describe it.
	Now, you mentioned Christine Lagarde of the ECB, and I'm sure you saw this video where she thought she was talking to Zelensky.
	It was a fake Zelensky interview, which is really hilarious, because I thought the real Zelensky was also a fake Zelensky, but whatever.
	It's like fake clown Zelensky time.
	But she admitted in that interview that they wanted to use the digital currency, the digital euro, to control people.
	And she expressed fear that they might not have enough control over smaller transactions.
	I think she said 300 or 400 euros.
	But anything over that, definitely they would exert control over people.
	This is a fairly frank admission, but it shows that the whole model of the socialist system in Europe is one of totalitarian control over your finances, doesn't it?
	Absolutely.
	They absolutely want to do away with the classic supply and demand elasticity curve.
	They just want to flatten it and tell you what the demand for these things will be and what the demand for those things will be and what the prices will be.
	Lagarde is a totalitarian.
	She was put in power to do what she's doing.
	She's made it abundantly clear that she hates Bitcoin, specifically.
	Doesn't really have much of a problem with stablecoins.
	What a shock.
	But she hates Bitcoin because Bitcoin represents an escape hatch.
	And she said this explicitly.
	Bitcoin is an escape hatch.
	And if there's an escape hatch, then people will use it.
	We need to have control over these things because their plan, Mike, especially if you go back to the Credit Suisse.
	And I read an article about this over at the blog.
	Trying to explain what was happening with Credit Suisse.
	And I came to the realization that the whole AT1 cocoa bond market was a means by which Davos was going to take control of the entire commercial banking system in Europe through these bonds by once there's a full-on banking crisis and all the market caps of all the European banks get halved or are dropped by 75, 80%.
	The value, relatively speaking, of all those $275 billion in cocoa bonds, now, relative to, say, today's valuations, would rise in value to a trillion dollars or a trillion and a half.
	And all of a sudden, again, like I explained with Credit Suisse and UBS, they become the owners of these banks.
	Now, once you've got them, they've got control of those banks and sold effectively as owners, now you can roll up these central banks because now the central banks and the member central banks And they own the commercial banks.
	Now they can turn the member central banks into adjuncts of the ECB. And they can roll the whole thing up into one big mess underneath where the member central banks, like in Germany and France and the rest of them, they become the new commercial banks.
	The old commercial banks are gone.
	They become the new commercial banks.
	They deal directly with the ECB, with a digital euro.
	They default on all the debt, right?
	Because remember, these AT1 bonds are perpetual bonds.
	Okay, so where have you heard the term perpetual bonds before, except for George Soros, who has been screaming for years that the way out for Europe is to issue perpetual bonds, is to default on all the debt and issue perpetual bonds to the current bondholders.
	And then, so effectively, Saying, you're not going to get your capital back, but we're going to pay you in perpetuity.
	So that's what these AT1 bonds are, except they're initially convertible into equity.
	It's like a Trojan horse into the Great Reset.
	Right.
	It's absolutely what it is.
	And then ultimately, then all of this stuff happens.
	And then once the commercial bank, they own the commercial banks, then they can turn to the central banks and go, okay, now we're going to default on all the national central debt and issue perpetual debt through those Through the Bundesbank and all the rest of them.
	This is fascinating because you're describing the pathway to a global one-world currency that eventually becomes a digital one-world currency, or at least that's their attempt.
	That's their attempt, yeah.
	Yeah, that's their attempt.
	And they want that for the United States, and the Fed is saying no.
	Exactly, right.
	This is really critical.
	But what about the BIS and how they want to position themselves, I believe, as the kind of middleman between the digital currencies of different countries?
	Isn't the BIS actually where the one world currency wants to be kind of controlled?
	Eventually go between them and the IMF, sure.
	Then they want to transfer all of that away from...
	Right.
	Fed, the PBOC, and all the rest of them, they just transferred all up to the IMF and the BIS.
	Yeah, they don't want the Fed to exist at all.
	It's been banging on this point for years that that was always the point.
	Now, here's the problem.
	The problem is that everybody east of the International North-South Transport Corridor is not on board with this.
	The Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, the Indians, now the Saudi Arabians, even though they're west of the Philippines.
	They're not on board with this.
	70% of the world's population is governed by people who don't want to be involved in this.
	ASEAN just came out the other day and said, we're going to start moving all of our trade settlement into Chinese yuan.
	By the way, the Chinese yuan, I've been studying this for about 12 years now, the PBOC, the People's Bank of China, does not target the U.S. dollar Onshore yuan exchange rate.
	That is not how they manage the yuan.
	They manage it through the rear, the real effective exchange rate of the yuan versus all of their trading partners.
	They've been doing this for years, so they care as much about the dollar as the Singapore dollar, the Malaysian ringgit, the Thai bot, the Australian dollar, the Vietnamese dong, all of them.
	That's what they care about.
	And they're managing the currency versus that.
	But we always focus on things in terms of dollars.
	We don't understand any of this stuff.
	So understanding that they've been targeting all this and working from that perspective for years.
	So this is all in play here.
	It's all already happening.
	And there's not much Davos can do about it other than bomb them back to the Stone Age using the U.S. military.
	Which is running out of munitions in the meantime, right?
	Well, you know, I'm not even going to say one way or the other whether we have the ability to or to not fight this war that they clearly want to have for us.
	I don't know, okay?
	And I'm not cucking out here.
	What I'm saying is don't believe everything you hear because so much of everything we hear is disinformation.
	That may be correct, okay?
	It may not be, okay?
	How much of that is real and how much of it is planted?
	I don't know.
	What I know is that they're planning on doing this and they're planning on trying to take us to war by the end of the year, I think.
	And what I see, they're planning on it.
	Now, whether they're doing that in order to...
	There's a number of ways you can look at why they would be doing this.
	If Davos is trying to destroy the United States, what better way to do so than to get us involved in a war with Russia and China and lose?
	Right, exactly.
	So there's a number of different ways this could be looked at as to why they're doing what they're doing, but don't discount any of What's actually happening?
	They think they can win.
	They think they could not win.
	I don't know.
	What I know is that everybody is making these moves as if they have a winning move in the future.
	And that when you look at their whiteboard of their flowchart of how this plays out, of what moves they're going to make and when, they still believe that winning is at the bottom of the whiteboard.
	And that should scare you because that's the way they're acting.
	Okay, so on your whiteboard then, do you think the ECB survives this?
	That's a good question.
	I don't.
	In my heart of hearts, I hope it doesn't.
	You know, if I take these off and I put on my rose-colored glasses, you know, my anti-communist glasses, I go, please no, these people are the problem.
	And, you know, the Russians and the Chinese and the Iranians, we can negotiate a way out of this with these people.
	But the old colonialist powers in Europe, there ain't no negotiating with these people.
	And we've already had two world wars because of them.
	And they want to have and we have a thousand years of European history of, you know, them fighting wars amongst themselves for roughly the same reasons.
	And they've been undermining U.S. and undermining U.S. foreign policy and U.S. domestic policy through the ownership of the U.S. banking system for most of America's history.
	Yeah.
	And we're now in a very – we're now in the weird transition period where we, for the first time in American history, have control over our debt indexing rate, over the price of our own currency in foreign exchange markets, i.e.
	SOFR versus LIBOR. And that transition is kicking in when?
	June 30th, LIBOR goes away, and SOFR, and everything that's not currently been rewritten to be in any contracts or debt or whatever that hasn't been Explicitly rewritten by the lawyers to get all this stuff done from LIBOR to SOFR. The transition, there's a whole roadmap of how they're going to deal with that.
	I've seen the documents and I've seen the roadmap and how they'll deal with this.
	It's going to be an exciting summer, that's for sure.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Okay, so last question for you then, and then I want to give you a chance to plug your newsletter and anything else you want to mention.
	So for someone who doesn't follow this data like you do, this is a lot to take in.
	And I think a typical viewer may be just trying to ask the question, so how do I navigate this and not lose everything?
	It's kind of the number one question.
	Do you have any words of wisdom for that?
	It's actually really quite simple.
	We don't call it gold goats and guns for nothing.
	I want to get like flip about it.
	It's pretty obvious.
	It's tangible assets.
	Martin Armstrong has been banging issue on the table at Khrushchev for the last 10 years that we're moving into a period of tangible assets are going to rule versus ephemeral assets or intangible assets.
	Debt has ruled the world for the last however long you want to call the cycle since Nixon closed the gold window in 71.
	Well, The remodetization effect of everybody moving to ground, what you're seeing in gold, Bitcoin, U.S. Treasuries, the Dow versus other stock markets and whatnot, you're seeing just people moving into tangible assets.
	So what should you be doing?
	Well, you should be shoring up your personal balance sheet.
	What's the Fed trying to do?
	Shrink its balance sheet of all this toxic overvalued debt that it can't sell because it can't sell it at par without booking a loss, but it can roll it off its balance sheet And just not, you know, and just not roll it over and then let it, you know, sunset.
	And then the money, of course, that was backed by it, sunsets as well.
	So it's the same thing here.
	Get out of debt if you can.
	Shore up your skill set so that you don't lose your job, right?
	If you have excess capital, you're looking at putting your I mean, liquid meaning stuff to pay your bills in case you lose your job or you have a medical emergency or whatever.
	So gold, Bitcoin, cash, if you're an American, you should have all three of these things.
	And if you're a European, you should have some euros as well.
	But again, that's only because you're paying your bills in euros.
	But since I think the euro is going to 60 cents, I wouldn't keep very many of them.
	So you want to be in gold, Bitcoin in your local currency and just enough local currency and held Somewhat outside the banking system in order for you to function, okay?
	Yeah.
	But if you're worried about, you know, the kind of, you're worried about them canceling the currency and then forcing you to bring your stuff in, like, you know, bring them in and change them out, well, got news for you.
	I got Bitcoin, I got gold, I got these things, I got to convert them into those things, the other things I need first, and then I can convert into the new currency.
	Like, you win for the most part.
	They're not going to let you out of the system without making you take a haircut.
	They're not going to, Try and tax you into debt slavery.
	They're going to do all of this stuff.
	And what you have to do is minimize your counterparty risk.
	Because it's counterparty risk that everybody is facing, the other guy not being able to pay.
	And so just minimize your counterparty risk as best as possible.
	Shore up your local community as best you can.
	Shore up your skill set as best you can.
	And protect yourself.
	Right now, you should be worried about, and that's what we're seeing in the banking system.
	People are worried.
	I get patrons asking me all the time, what bank should I move my money out of because I'm worried my bank is going to fail?
	Well, I don't know.
	I don't actually honestly believe your bank is going to fail here in the United States.
	I think some of the banks are going to fail.
	I think we're overbanked in the United States, but I don't know without looking at the Texas ratio of a particular bank.
	And...
	You know, it's time to do the due diligence and, like, shore yourself up.
	Yeah.
	And gold, goats, and guns all have no counterparty risk.
	Yes.
	By the way, that's a good rule of thumb.
	Okay.
	Your newsletter, how often do you put the newsletter out?
	Newsletter out is a monthly retail investor-focused newsletter.
	It has a portfolio, which has done very well over the years.
	And it's built around the ideas of, you know, these things, you know, income, industry, defense, right?
	Gold, goats, and guns.
	And we put that out once a month.
	It's all original material.
	My partner, Dexter White, writes one article.
	I write the rest of it.
	And we try and thematically push us forward in time.
	This is what we're going to see.
	The Patreon, I take care of my patrons anywhere from three to five times a week with private blog posts, private podcasts, market reports, bespoke chart reads on people.
	I'm a fairly accomplished technical analyst as well.
	So You know, and we just do the thing.
	And then we have a very active community that we all talk amongst ourselves with.
	Okay, and I see it's ridiculously affordable.
	If they go to your website, tomluongo.me, click on the newsletter.
	You can select a membership level here, and it's just a few dollars.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah, well, the prices were set when nobody knew who the hell I was.
	What was I going to do?
	Charge them premium money for something else?
	And we're at the point now where it's just fine.
	The goal here is not...
	Making money is a consequence of doing good work, right?
	I've always believed it.
	And if you do good work, people will reward you.
	And the crowdfunding model is very real, and I firmly believe in it.
	And we're very thankful every day for our patrons, because I learn more from them than I learn from my own research.
	Because you have an energized and inspired community that you riff off of every day.
	And it's a pleasure to go to work, which for me is that I wake up in my pajamas in the morning, I pull up a cup of coffee, and I sit in front of the computer, and I go, and they bring me the world.
	They're phenomenal.
	I can't say enough about them.
	Well, that's wonderful.
	You have an amazing community, and you have an amazing grasp, too, I think, of what's going on globally.
	I really encourage people to tune in to your message.
	And I want to thank you for taking the time to join us today, Tom.
	It's always a pleasure to speak with you.

	All right, today's interview is brought to you by our gold and silver sponsor, which is the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	You can find them at metalswithmike.com.
	And why this company is so trustworthy, I mean, they show you prices in real time on their website, as you can see here.
	You can actually see the prices.
	These are a little bit outdated, these prices right here.
	But if you go there live, you'll see today's price based on the spot price.
	This company's parent group provides an enormous percentage of the gold and silver to other retailers across the United States.
	And so they know this industry.
	They've known it, frankly, for decades.
	This is a second-generation owner of the Treasure Island Company, and they offer discreet delivery, insured delivery, and they can also help you with silver IRAs that are IRS-compliant.
	If it fits in your plan to have physical gold and silver in your possession, check out the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	The website, again, is metalswithmike.com.
	They are our sponsor in this space, but they don't pay us any affiliate fees whatsoever.
	We don't earn a percentage of any purchases.
	They just pay a flat fee for sponsorship, and then we use those resources along with other sponsors to build a better Brighteon.
	And we've got a lot of new features.
	They're about to roll out because of that.
	And we have better 24-7 response admins and programmers and so on.
	So we thank Treasure Island and other sponsors for their support.
	And we thank you for your support.
	And get yourself squared away.
	Times are dicey.
	Banks are insolvent.
	So figure out if this is right for you.
	And if it is, do your own research.
	Give them a call.
	All right, that was a fascinating interview with Tom Luongo.
	The guy is brilliant, by the way.
	He really gets it, and I was really intrigued by his theory when I first heard about it, about how the Federal Reserve is trying to protect, in essence, the American position, the sovereignty of the Federal Reserve and the U.S. dollar, in a sense, against the globalist, socialist Davos plan.
	So, fascinating interview.
	Be sure to share that everywhere.
	In the meantime, I was contacted by Michael Yan, who, as you know, he's an international war correspondent, and he travels the world monitoring situations.
	He's been here in studio a couple of times, and he's going to be chiming in here shortly.
	We're actually waiting for him.
	He texted me.
	He said, he's in a four-wheel drive.
	They finally made it to a good road, and they're on the way to the hotel.
	And I believe he is currently in Central America, and I don't exactly know what he's going to share with us here, but he said it's very important.
	And knowing Michael Jan, you know, he's a man of his word.
	It's going to be some kind of bombshell information.
	So we're going to connect that here in the next couple of minutes and have Michael Jan for you here next on Bright Town Broadcast News.
	So that's coming up.
	Stay tuned.
	Okay, joining us now, really kind of a last-minute arrangement here with some urgent news, is Michael Yon.
	And I haven't even had a chance to speak with you, Michael.
	You just rushed in from your four-wheel drive vehicle, the back roads there.
	Where are you, number one, and what is going on that is such an urgent issue?
	I'm in Darien Province, Panama.
	And if you hear the traffic to my left here, that's actually Highway 1.
	I'm near the end of Highway 1.
	All these birds are actually real birds.
	This is the Darien Gap, right?
	And so right beside me over here, about 300 yards away, is something called San Vicente Camp.
	That's a camp where many of the migrants are.
	So what you'll hear going by here, some of this traffic could be...
	Well, that's just a local bus.
	No, that's a...
	Semi-trucks.
	A lot of these semi-trucks actually are carrying virgin trees that are being cut down and going to China.
	And then right in front of me, about maybe 800 meters, is an airstrip.
	It's a centerfront airstrip.
	Centerfront is like...
	Panamanian Army, or they don't really have an army, but let's just say it's like the army.
	They're super professional people.
	I've been dealing with them now constantly when I come down to Panama.
	Well, not just Darien Gap and other parts of Panama.
	Actually, they're trained a lot by U.S. Special Forces who often stay at this little, I call it the five-star, one-star hotel that I'm in.
	Staying at...
	It's like a one-star hotel that's super clean and very nice, and the people are nice.
	But we're down in the backwoods of Panama.
	But so today...
	Let's say last April in 2022, I was about to fly up to...
	There goes Doctors Without Borders right there.
	And they're going to the camp.
	They're just in a little truck.
	But last year, I was about to head up...
	I was right here where I'm sitting.
	I was about to head up to Arizona with Congressman Biggs and Congressman Tom Tiffany and some other congressmen on the Arizona border to go to the Mexican border.
	And then I got word that...
	Secretary of Homeland Security, Alexandro Mayorkas, was coming down here to Darien, or that he's coming to Panama, and I suspected that he would probably come to Darien, and he would land right in front of me here, which he did.
	So I waited here for about four days, and he finally landed, four Black Hawk helicopters, and I was making video and that sort of thing.
	And then he came right here to this camp, which is right beside me, San Vicente Camp.
	And since that time, I mean, I knew that he was coming to approximately double the size of the camp.
	And at this point, the camp has more than doubled that size.
	And then the other camp that I just came back from, called Las Blancas Camp, that one is probably tripled in size.
	It's just filled with people today.
	I just got back from the camp.
	Literally just got back, rushing back to come on with you.
	To finish off, our government is just vastly increasing the throughput here.
	Now it's about 1,200 people per day for the last month.
	And it's just increasing every time I come.
	It's unbelievable.
	Huge amounts of Chinese coming through.
	We were talking Chinese today.
	We have a lot of issues to cover here, and I appreciate you taking time to join us, especially given the intensity of what's going on there.
	A couple things, though, right up front.
	So, number one, you're saying that the San Vicente camp is being vastly expanded, and this seems to be with the help of the U.S. State Department?
	Oh, 100%.
	Department of Homeland Security.
	I mean, it's not hidden whatsoever.
	Okay.
	And, in fact, if you go to their website, you'll see them talking about expanding the Expanding the camp.
	This is just one camp.
	There's other camps as well, and they're expanding all of them.
	Okay, but secondly, and let me interrupt and say, can we see what's behind you?
	I mean, is there something that you need to protect, or can you turn off the blur and just kind of, can you pan the camera a little bit and show us around?
	Is that possible?
	Absolutely.
	I didn't know the blur is on.
	Actually, I could walk you around.
	I don't know if we'll lose signal, but the camp is over here about 300 meters.
	Behind me is sort of like the restaurant for the one-star hotel, actually.
	So in front of me is the road, the little dirt road that goes to the camp.
	So in front of me about 800 meters is the airstrip where they land with their helicopters and whatnot, right?
	And then in front of me about 30 meters, yeah, I just walk over there.
	Yeah, I mean, you don't need to walk over, but just like pan it and turn off the blur so we can see a little bit because what you're describing is so fascinating.
	Sorry, it's just that I want you to give us a little, just a little look around so people can see what you're talking about.
	Okay, while Michael is working that out, he's going to give us a little bit of a pan of the scene there.
	I want to mention his website.
	It's michaelyan.locals.com, and you can become a member.
	You can join his community.
	You can get some special content from him.
	Michael travels the world, and he has been a great friend of Brighton, bringing us breaking information.
	He's been in studio, and he is on top of what's happening around the world.
	I think I found it.
	Oh, yeah, and he just found the setting, yeah.
	All right.
	There we go.
	I'll just walk with you.
	I'll just walk with you.
	Okay.
	So just kind of like point out what you're talking about.
	There goes one of the chicks that works with the migrants leaving right now.
	Ah.
	Here, I'll just walk out to the road.
	This is Highway 1 right in front of me.
	And there's the guy delivering milk, actually.
	That's real milk, by the way.
	He's bringing me some today.
	And this is the hotel.
	Look up this hotel.
	Look up this hotel.
	Yeah, look that up, and then you'll see exactly where the camp is.
	And then the camp, there's going to be a guard there, so he's not going to let me in.
	So that's Highway 1, right?
	Okay, now be careful of your range.
	I don't know if you're in a Wi-Fi range.
	You might get too far.
	Yeah.
	So this is the road to the camp, and that's the camp right in front.
	In fact, here comes a policeman.
	He's probably going to be like, what are you doing?
	You can't go in.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, yeah, you don't have to go in.
	Just be cool.
	Okay.
	And there's the airfielders over there.
	So he's going to be like, what are you doing?
	You can't go in.
	Okay.
	So in any case, that's where...
	Actually, I do have permission to go in, by the way.
	Hold on.
	Matt!
	See if you can get us in the camp!
	See if you can get us in the camp!
	Matt speaks Spanish.
	Hold on.
	We'll see if we can get in the camp.
	Maybe we can get in the camp while we're here.
	Hola!
	Here, we'll just walk down here.
	Maybe we'll get in and get a special treat.
	No, Michael, I'm not asking you to do that.
	Just exercise your own caution as necessary there.
	Let's go for it, man.
	We'll steal that horse and get into the camp.
	See the horse?
	There's the guard right there.
	You speak multiple languages, I think.
	I know you speak German, but do you speak Espanol?
	Hola.
	Buenos dias.
	Matthew, can you see if we can just walk in?
	Okay.
	We'll see if we can.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So in the meantime...
	This is the camp down here.
	So they're expanding the camp.
	And is this part of an effort to make it easier for more people to come north?
	Is that the idea?
	Oh, yeah.
	It's not hidden whatsoever.
	It's 100%.
	Yeah.
	They're not even...
	I mean, they say so.
	You know what I mean?
	With their tweets and with their website.
	If you go on the UN website right now, and you'll see, here comes a bus right now.
	It'll be filled with migrants.
	Well, show us.
	Show us the bus.
	Two buses, actually.
	Okay.
	Yeah, show us.
	Usually what happens, and I see a bunch of, I don't know how well this is.
	Usually...
	Every night, like last night, there was at least 14 buses.
	It may have been 15.
	It was 14 or 15 buses last night.
	Where are these buses going?
	They'll go up to Costa Rica.
	There's another camp up there.
	And then they'll stay overnight up there.
	Then they're taken to the Costa Rican border.
	And then they cross into Costa Rica.
	And there's a program between Costa Rica and Panama called Controlled Flow.
	And Controlled Flow was brokered by the United States between Panama and Costa Rica to...
	To make this flow go very smoothly.
	And now it does go very smoothly.
	And there we go.
	Now I can see what you see.
	Okay, good.
	Once they get to Costa Rica, then what's their path from there to the border of America?
	Next after that's Nicaragua.
	And then after that, they'll continue to head north and finally to Guatemala.
	And then there's a river.
	It's sort of like...
	Sort of like the Rio Grande but it's between Guatemala and Mexico.
	And so then they go into a city in Mexico called Tapachula.
	I've been there to Tapachula.
	It's literally like the El Paso of Mexico.
	It's the southernmost city in Mexico.
	And then from there, you wouldn't believe it.
	In fact, I wish I had the map that we got today that will show you these maps.
	Remember how the maps hit the news about six weeks ago?
	I physically got one of those maps today.
	Somebody that I brought down actually got one in the Las Blancas camp.
	It's just a big fold-out map, and it's nice and glossy, and it shows you the entire routes, where to get advice, where to get medical care.
	They're actually handing out birth control pills and morning-after pills and condoms and all that in the camps here.
	Wait a second.
	Are those the maps that the Red Cross was handing out?
	Yep, that's the map.
	So we've got one now.
	It's inside of this hotel.
	I don't have it in my hands, but I can show you tomorrow.
	Okay, yeah, we've got to see that map.
	That's unreal.
	So it seems like what they're constructing with the help of the U.S. government is a human highway, right?
	It is.
	I mean, and this basically is a pump station, San Vicente Camp.
	You know, just look up Tonose Hotel.
	That's where we're at.
	And you'll find it on the map.
	You'll know exactly where we're at.
	And that's the camp right beside it.
	And it's just growing and growing and growing.
	So are you going to be safe there if we broadcast this tomorrow?
	It's going to go out tomorrow.
	Go ahead.
	Don't worry about it.
	Roll with it.
	I thought it was live.
	No, it's not live.
	We want to give you time to adjust as necessary, if necessary.
	Yeah, go with it.
	Okay.
	Go with it.
	So what should the American people be understanding about this?
	Because none of this is covered in the American press.
	Well, this is an invasion caused by the United States government, who is obviously captured by WF and CCP. I mean, today, by the way, we were interviewing Chinese down in the Las Blancas camp, and some are behind me in this camp here as well.
	And it's just unbelievable.
	I mean, there's a huge number of Chinese coming in, a huge number of Venezuelans, of course, Cubans, Haitians, people from at least 140 countries are just streaming in.
	And just through this route, this little road that you're on right here, that's about 1,200 people a day.
	Well, between this road and that road right there in front of us, Highway 1, because there's the other camp that they also feed from, Las Blancas, which is about, I don't know, anywhere.
	Miles is the crow flies.
	Are there any Chinese there that we could talk to?
	Because I speak enough Mandarin to ask them some questions.
	Actually, we could have gone live today.
	We can do it tomorrow.
	Tomorrow we can do it.
	I can go back out to the camp.
	From the camp.
	Can we get in?
	Okay, we're going to go in this camp.
	All right.
	Okay, so the Chinese nationals that are there, they...
	This is my friend Matthew, by the way.
	Hi, Matthew.
	Hi.
	Matthew's a Zonian.
	We go out to Daring Gap all the time together.
	And he speaks Spanish fluently.
	He's a Zonian.
	He grew up here.
	His dad was a pilot on the Panama Canal.
	Oh, that's cool.
	Super cool.
	Oh, my passport.
	You got a photo of it.
	Okay.
	So you're coming to the camp, Mike.
	Okay, so Michael, about the Chinese nationals, it seems like, is there any indication, is China encouraging Chinese nationals to go through this route to get up into the United States?
	And are they men, or what kind of people are they?
	Some are family units.
	A lot of them are just military-aged males.
	Others are family units.
	Lots of little children, well, you know, in general, All populations, no matter what country, there's huge numbers of children.
	They have tents here that are just for the children.
	I mean, with, like, toys.
	I was in one tent today in Las Vegas Camp, and the guy had a rabbit, you know, for the children to play with.
	You know, just stuff like that.
	I mean, and also with the Chinese, some will have children.
	Mostly it's males.
	And...
	But there's a lot of military-age males, of all groups you'll see here soon.
	If they let us in the camp, you're about to see them.
	Okay.
	And as far as, talk to us about the other nationalities, in addition to Chinese nationals, what other nationalities are you seeing moving through this camp?
	Well, from about 140 countries.
	Many of them are Cubans and Haitians, Venezuelans, huge numbers of them.
	What about Middle Eastern?
	There's Venezuelans.
	What about the Middle East?
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, today, not that Morocco is the Middle East, but, like, today I talked with two Middle Easterners for quite a while.
	I mean, Moroccans.
	That's North Africa, of course.
	Are you hearing about people from Syria or Iran or places like that?
	Yeah.
	I didn't meet any today.
	Well, and there may have been some there.
	Actually, you know, I got conversations because the camp's completely closed.
	When we get to the sign up here, look at all the languages.
	This little green building here.
	Go ahead and show Michael full screen.
	You don't need to see me.
	Yeah, show it full screen.
	Michael, who's paying for these buses?
	United States and UN and many others, but the United States is the chief and principal.
	It's been a factor of our own invasion.
	So this is actually a store where the migrants can come out and go to this store right here.
	And then this is the camp.
	Yeah, can you get us closer to that sign so we can kind of read it?
	Yeah.
	Oh, you see right here.
	You'll see this everywhere.
	They are the ones invading Panama and everywhere.
	Like, if you go to Amsterdam Airport in Netherlands, they've got their...
	Well, their headquarters is in Switzerland, right?
	But if you look at their...
	But if you go to the Terminal 3 of departures at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, you'll see they have a ticket office.
	And like, for instance, the Chinese that I spoke with today, they were talking about going through...
	Leaving China and going through Amsterdam...
	And then they go to Ecuador.
	And then they come by bus.
	To Darien Gap in Panama, or sorry, well, they go through Colombia, and then they come to the Darien Gap here, and then they end up in this camp.
	So I'm looking up that website, IOM, ONU Migration, and it's called UN Migration.
	That's right.
	Yeah, UN Migration.
	So this is a United Nations program to use assets of Europe and the world to push migrants into countries that they want to occupy?
	I mean, that's what it looks like.
	Yeah.
	And look at this space they've cleared to increase the size of this camp.
	Oh my.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And that in the background there is a hospital that was never opened.
	It's just a white elephant.
	It's literally a white elephant.
	It's a white, but it's never, there's nothing in there.
	It was a hospital that they started but never opened.
	So this is where the buses will come.
	There's the Western Union.
	This is important.
	So, you know, they get robbed going through the gap and all that.
	And they can come out and get their MoneyGram and Wrestling Union and all that.
	Can you see this in focus?
	Yeah, I can see it.
	And then you can get your phone cards right there in the store.
	And so, yeah, this is it.
	And are you able to talk to some of the people that are showing up here and get their stories of where they've come from or what they've experienced?
	Yeah, I do every day.
	And we can do it right now.
	Let's go over here and walk around first.
	Yeah.
	Make sure the commander's cool with us being here.
	Because as you can see, we should have penetrated the camp.
	Let's see.
	Yeah, be cool.
	This is UNICEF, and UNICEF is everywhere.
	Hola, buenas!
	Buenas!
	Oh, de donde?
	Haiti!
	Haiti from Haiti.
	Oh, from Haiti, yeah.
	Haiti.
	Haiti, Haiti, Haiti.
	Africa!
	Haitian, right, right.
	Venezuela.
	Mas Venezuela.
	Todo Venezuela.
	Dominicano.
	From Dominican Republic.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Africano.
	No Africans.
	No Africans this time.
	You're from Africa.
	Yes.
	Oh, you're from Haiti too.
	Ah, you look African to me, not Haitian.
	So this is Haitians and Africans mostly.
	Yeah.
	And Venezuelans.
	Venezuela.
	Venezuela.
	All right.
	China.
	Oh, China's nationals?
	Yeah.
	Usually there's...
	There comes Masako Ganaha right there.
	She's like, where'd they run off to?
	China!
	Actually, she's from Japan.
	So how is it that Chinese are using this route through Central America, through Panama?
	Exactly, exactly, exactly.
	No, no, there's Chinese.
	Gracias, gracias.
	They're from China.
	All right, you speak Mandarin, right?
	Let me put this earphone in this ear.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Hola, China.
	Do you speak English?
	From China.
	You speak English?
	Yes?
	Oh, can you put this in?
	Put it in your ear so you can hear him talk.
	Put that in.
	Alright.
	Put it in your ear.
	Maybe the other ear.
	Hey, 你好, 你好!
	Hold on, wait till she gets it in.
	你好!
	你好!
	Go ahead!
	你們好不好?
	我要問你們,你們是中國人嗎?
	大陸的中國人嗎?
	Thank you.
	I'm American.
	Sorry, my voice is not very good.
	Your voice is pretty good.
	Do you want to go to America?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	His husband is my friend.
	Thank you for talking to us.
	Thank you.
	It's fine.
	Okay.
	It's fine.
	Okay, thank you, Michael.
	Okay, you're welcome.
	Thank you, thank you.
	Uh-oh, I dropped that.
	Thanks.
	Yeah, she's just confirming they're from mainland China.
	China!
	Yeah.
	They're from mainland China on their way to America.
	Center front's like, what are you doing here?
	So, where are they from in China, did they say?
	I didn't ask them what part of China, but just confirming they want to go to America.
	Japanese, Masako's here.
	Oh.
	This is the one who tracked down Klaus Schwab in Switzerland.
	Is that right?
	That's her.
	That's her, yeah.
	Awesome.
	She's the one that was, yeah, anyway, so we, as we can, I don't know why this won't focus on you, but anyway, because it's following my face.
	Yeah, it's following your face, Michael.
	Yeah.
	So you have to stand behind me then.
	Okay.
	There she is.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, so, well, you can see some of our friends here, but they're very professional, so I'm not worried about getting beat up.
	Yeah.
	So the young woman I was speaking to...
	Oh, he's got a rash.
	Huh?
	Yeah.
	Oh, he's got a rash.
	He's got a rash.
	That's why he's walking like that.
	He said he had a rash.
	Oh, yeah.
	Walking through the gap.
	From making the trek?
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's rough, man.
	You're looking at the survivors here.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	They've been through hell to get to this point.
	Yeah.
	Wow, I can't believe the coverage you're getting right now.
	I'm actually very surprised that we're getting this.
	This is bombshell stuff, Michael.
	You're giving us a view that almost no one sees in America.
	Let me give out your website again, michaelyan.locals.com.
	And of course, I'm Mike Adams from brighteon.com.
	And we're going to have you back on, Michael, after you return to the States, get you back in studio.
	But what else do the American people need to know about what's happening that you're seeing?
	It's unbelievable.
	I mean, it's exploding.
	And it's not just here.
	As you know, I spent a lot of time in Europe rolling around, and Europe has just been completely overtaken.
	It's not migration.
	It's a weaponized migration.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm trying to keep this still.
	I'm having a problem.
	But anyway, it's weaponized migration.
	And like, for instance, I was in Luxembourg and almost 50 percent, not one five, but almost five zero percent of Luxembourg now is migrants.
	Right.
	Wow.
	I mean, it's unbelievable.
	We saw fights every day.
	Masako was there with me and there were people defecating in the streets doing drug deals.
	Actually, a lot of the people I see coming through A lot of them I think would probably be good Americans, but then I see others that look like total gangsters.
	And, you know, I mean, tattoos with a tear and all that stuff, and face tats, and tattooed all the way from head to toe, and acting like gangsters, and that sort of thing.
	That's exactly, you've hit upon something really critical, Michael, and I want to ask you about that, because, you know, in America, we welcome people who want to embrace the American spirit and be part of America, and want to work hard and contribute to society, and maybe a lot of those people that you're seeing, but there's a criminal element.
	As well.
	And, you know, how do we sort those people out?
	Or is that even happening?
	They're not being sorted.
	Most of the people coming through here are not getting any biometrics at all, by the way.
	Like, one of the center front commanders mentioned that today.
	But, I mean, the interesting thing is...
	Well, like one Chinese guy that we spoke with today...
	And that guy, he was very smart, and I thought he would probably be a good American, actually.
	And he was like, the AI in China is getting unbelievable.
	He's like, you know, you should see this video.
	I mean, we have to blur out his face because he was like, you know, you can't, please don't put my face on.
	But he was going on and on about the AI in China, like how just...
	Or William, a super smart guy actually.
	And he was just like, there's nothing you can do now that's not tracked in China.
	So they're doing their best to escape.
	This is like, you know, the last people to get out are getting out now.
	And he got out.
	And so he's like, it's getting more and more difficult for Chinese to get out.
	Now, a lot of the Chinese I see coming through, I'm suspicious of who they are.
	And others, like, you know, are they spies or something?
	And then others, I think they're honestly just running from the beast.
	And I do get the feeling from a lot of the Chinese, actually, that I do want them in because they seem like they want freedom.
	And then there's others just like, we have to be checking these people, but we're not.
	Yeah, that's what's key.
	Actually, you showing me this camp, this kind of opens my heart to the plight of so many people who are fleeing authoritarian regimes around the world.
	And yet, do they know that America is becoming a more authoritarian regime as well?
	This might be you and I, Michael.
	Five years from now, we might be in migrant camps trying to flee the tyranny in America.
	We tell them that all the time.
	We were talking like that with them today.
	We're like, you know what?
	At this rate, we're going to be escaping together.
	You know what I mean?
	Exactly.
	But, you know, I'm not going to run away like that.
	But at the same time, a lot of them, like the ones coming from Venezuela, they hate Maduro.
	But almost all of them, they love Biden.
	They have no idea he's just an old drooling old guy that's a product of worse corruption than they've ever seen.
	They don't realize that the United States is the same thing.
	We just are more rich and it's still covered up, right?
	Yeah, out of the frying pan and into the fire.
	Yeah, and I'm not going anywhere either, Michael.
	I mean, I'm in Texas.
	I'm staying in Texas.
	I'm fighting for Texas if it comes to that.
	You know, we're Americans, and this is the end of the line right here at home.
	And what you're doing, Michael, it's really incredible.
	I can't thank you enough for putting your neck on the line and showing us these scenes that no one has seen.
	Yeah, I can't believe we got in here.
	Here comes the commander, so it might be shut down at any moment.
	But I mean, this is pretty amazing that we...
	I mean, I get into the camp sometimes, but I've never been live.
	I have a guest, but we're almost live.
	Yeah, well...
	What's that?
	He's just taking a photo of us.
	Oh, okay, yeah, he's taking a photo.
	Yeah, go for it.
	Yeah, just do what you need to do.
	We'll stand by.
	So anyway, like I said, the center front is super professional here.
	They're like...
	I'm normally professional, and they have been.
	Every time I come to Panama, I spend months down here in Darien Gap.
	I just come and go.
	Like, you know, the Indians, I'm out with the Imbera and Kuna Indians all the time, way out in the jungles and, you know, bathing in the rivers and whatnot.
	So where we're at right now is relatively, like, highly civilized compared to...
	But actually, I mean, I say civilized, but when you're out with the Indians, you know, deep in the jungle, I mean, it's...
	I feel happy.
	And they seem super happy.
	Like, Kuna Indians don't want to go into Panama City.
	They want to live out in the jungle.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're happy in the jungle.
	The kids are rolling in the mud, jumping out of the trees, swimming in the rivers, hunting with poison darts.
	They love it out there.
	I mean, it's just like boy heaven and girl heaven.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah, can't blame them.
	The kids are happy.
	The old people are happy.
	And, I mean, you can be, like, literally several days in the jungle and you're so happy.
	A lot of Americans, I don't think, get that.
	You don't need glitter and all that really nonsense.
	I mean, a lot of the people just live out there with coconut trees and crocodiles, you know?
	Yeah, that truck that's driving past you right now.
	Yeah, center front.
	This is center front.
	Oh.
	Yeah, they're great.
	Oh yeah, you saw last week when Oscar Blue was with Centerfront, and he was with Ben Berkwam, and the Centerfront Special Forces was with, actually that was the same team that I helped them get out with, what, two or three or three or four months ago, right?
	And that same Special Forces team just took Oscar Blue and Ben Berkwam out, and they got into a firefight about a week ago, and there were these rapists.
	You should see Ben Berkwam's video and Oscar Blue's video.
	These women were coming in crying, and the children were really losing it, and they had just been raped.
	And they were telling the Special Forces team and Ben Berkwam and Oscar Blue where the...
	They were Colombians.
	They're like two or three days walk inside of Panama.
	So the Special Forces team, and I was getting messages from Ben.
	He was messaging me live.
	So I was watching their location.
	We have our satellite communications that weren't public, but it was just, they were, hey, we're The Special Forces team is after these guys right now.
	We're moving to contact, trying to find them.
	And they found them.
	They found the enemy that would just rape the women and put guns to people's heads.
	They kill people constantly.
	So they lit them up, which they got on...
	Ben and Oscar got it on video.
	The Special Forces team lit up the Colombian rapists and murderers and shot them.
	And you can see it on the videos.
	It was a short firefight.
	One of the Colombian rapists shot one of the women.
	He had just taken her clothes off right when the Special Forces team showed up and lit him up.
	And then he shot her.
	She's okay.
	She's in the hospital in Panama City right now.
	I say she's okay.
	She is shot.
	Wow.
	But she's okay.
	And I think her family's up with them now.
	And so yesterday, this isn't in the news at all, yesterday with more intelligence, the center front, these guys, I'm telling you, man, these guys are no kidding soldiers, the center front.
	They went back out there and they just captured, I think, four more yesterday up on some hill This is unreal, what you're telling us, Michael.
	I should have told you that from the beginning.
	I'm sorry.
	I do so much out here.
	I just kind of forget about the shootouts and the killings and all this.
	But yeah, you can look on Ben Berkwam and Oscar Blue.
	We were just with Ben and Oscar, and Matthew over there took them to the airport.
	We just had Easter dinner.
	Who is the frontarista, the truck that you saw, those guys, who are they working for?
	The government there?
	Oh, no, that's a center front is Panama government.
	Yeah.
	And so and they get blamed for everything.
	But I'm telling you, these are some of the most professional people I've ever seen.
	They're unbelievable.
	Like when they you know, when when the when the when those Colombians raped those women last week, it was about seven days ago now, I guess.
	And they're like, hey, let's go get them.
	And Ben was sending me messages like, we're moving to contact.
	It's like five hours away.
	We're rushing through the jungle and all this stuff.
	And I'm watching.
	His GPS was updating every two minutes, and I could see where they were at.
	And I'm like, well, they're getting close.
	Go ahead.
	Well, are you using that satellite gear, using the bivvy stick stuff, or what are you using?
	Not that yet, because that's still in Texas.
	That came in right when I left.
	And they were using just a texting satellite gear.
	Okay.
	And so when he texts, it sends me his location, or it updates every two minutes anyway.
	Okay.
	So I was following their movement on the map, right?
	And they were down by a river, and I was watching their location.
	He's like, hey, we're in ambush.
	And bam, lit them up.
	And those guys, the Colombians just went into the wrong location and the Panamanian Special Forces tore them up and captured two and killed one just as he was about to rape that woman.
	It's like something out of a movie.
	It's all on video.
	Yeah, but you know, I mean, this seems like we could use more of this kind of justice a little closer to home.
	I mean, at least those guys are actually enforcing the rule of law.
	These are the guys, man.
	Cinefront.
	They're the...
	Unbelievable.
	I'm talking about Centerfront now.
	I'm talking to the United States.
	This is the guys, man.
	Awesome.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Very cool.
	Or maybe you were.
	No, they weren't the ones in the jungle with Oscar Blue.
	But anyway, these are really professional guys.
	You can see, look how their uniforms are strapped.
	They're always out running.
	When I get up and the sun's coming up in the morning, they're running down the highway.
	Oh, they're super fit, man.
	They're running down the highway every morning.
	They do it like the U.S. Army.
	Actually, the hotel I'm staying at is the hotel that U.S. Special Forces stays in when they come here.
	I can tell because they're...
	Sometimes I show up and they've got some plaques up on the wall.
	Let's walk in and see these guys.
	So Michael, look, you're putting a lot on the line.
	How can people help support you and just be part of your community here?
	I know you're on Locals.com.
	You've got interviews out everywhere.
	What else can people do to help support you, Michael?
	There's a commander here.
	I'm on Twitter all the time.
	So it's Michael underscore Yon.
	Y-O-N. Yankee Oscar November is my last name.
	And then I'm on Locals, of course.
	Michael Yon again.
	It's Michael Yon on Locals.
	Yeah, we got that page up here.
	MichaelYon.Locals.com My best location is on with you.
	Yeah, well, we'd love to have you on, Michael.
	We need to come on more often.
	There's so much stuff that we're missing because there's so much going on.
	Like, I almost forgot to tell you about the firefight and everything because there's just so much other stuff going on.
	No, but you had texted me some of that.
	I just didn't know if it was okay to talk about that.
	Some of the stuff you text me is not necessarily public stuff.
	So I always want to honor your OPSEC there.
	Yeah, thank you for being circumspect on that.
	This is the...
	Vocacion.
	This is it.
	Yeah, I mean, talking about the ethics and a better life, basically, huh?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well, this is extraordinary.
	Okay, Mike, I want to be mindful of your time.
	Is there anything else that we haven't said here that you think is important for people to hear?
	We could go on for 10 days, but, you know, basically we're being invaded and it's damaging the ecology down here.
	The Panamanians, it's damaging there.
	It's damaging their communities out in the jungle.
	For instance, the migrants come in and chop down their coconut trees and that sort of thing because they can't climb the trees.
	And those coconut trees are how the Kuna Indians make their money, right?
	They steal all their avocados and run their fields.
	It's pretty bad.
	And the trash is unbelievable.
	I mean, it's not the migrants' fault.
	I mean, it's the U.S. government.
	And the rest that are creating this.
	When you go down to Columbia, you'll see on television where CNN is basically advertising for these people to come in.
	It's basically infomercial, right?
	Wow.
	Yeah, it's unbelievable.
	The information war is intense.
	Well, and, you know, the other warning for the Americans watching this is that if you don't get a handle on your own cities, San Francisco is going to look a lot like the worst areas of Panama.
	Already does.
	Already does.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you got violent crime out of control.
	You got trash.
	You got human feces everywhere.
	You either take care of your civilization or you lose it.
	Yeah, I was in San Francisco last year.
	The place is already a zoo in Los Angeles.
	I mean, you know, it's unbelievable.
	Atlanta.
	I mean, it's dangerous to walk downtown Atlanta.
	I was there as well.
	Antifa.
	I mean, it's just unbelievable.
	You know, people talk about how dangerous it is in the Daring Gap, and it is.
	But it's nowhere near as dangerous as some places in the United States, like Atlanta, downtown Atlanta.
	Yeah, for sure.
	You know, the jungle's not anywhere near as dangerous as downtown Atlanta.
	I mean, I'm not with the Indians here.
	They're not, you know, they're not...
	Like you see in some of the American cities.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But you feel safe enough being there right now?
	I mean, you're not armed, I assume.
	No, I mean, you know, I'm armed with my smile.
	I mean, I get along with everybody.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Like, your biggest dangers out here are, well, the jungle itself.
	And then, you know, the Indians do kill a lot of the migrants.
	And they kill them because the migrants are out there stealing all their crops and whatnot, right, and doing a lot of drugs out there.
	They're also being forced at times to carry drugs and that sort of thing.
	Oh, we could go on about this for hours.
	But mostly the Indians – actually, I get along with them extremely well.
	The Embaraj Indians, the Wunana Indians, the Kuna Indians, they're very easy to get along with.
	I mean, I'm out there swimming with them in the rivers.
	But at the same time, if you come in and start stealing stuff from their villages, I mean, these are warlike people.
	They're no joke people, you know what I'm saying?
	I mean, they're friendly and all that, but they will absolutely fight.
	They're famous for fighting, you know?
	So, yeah.
	I mean, but I get along with them because I just go out and say hello and I mean, you have a way about you, Michael.
	You know how to get along with people of every different culture because you've been all over the world.
	You have interacted with people.
	And you're right.
	I mean, you're armed with your smile.
	And you're just here.
	I mean, you're a pro-human person.
	You're here out of compassion.
	You don't want people to suffer.
	And I think that aura about you comes across.
	You want to help.
	But part of that is exposing what's going on.
	Every country I go to, I can get along with farmers.
	It doesn't matter if it's Afghanistan or Iraq or Germany or Netherlands or wherever, here.
	And the Indians are all farmers.
	And so they're super easy to get along with.
	At one point, I was out in one of the villages in the Embraer.
	I'm with all the time.
	We might have dinner with some of them.
	And, you know, they were like, you're like Ember Dog, because I'll eat everything they eat.
	I'm like, you're like my grandparents.
	You're only more brown than my grandparents.
	They're all laughing and stuff.
	You know, I'm like, you really are like my grandparents.
	I'll eat everything you eat, and I'll go help you catch it, too.
	Exactly.
	All right.
	Well, Michael, I'm going to let you go.
	I mean, you burn enough battery life and bandwidth for us here right now, and I know you've got a lot to take care of, but I want to invite you back.
	If you want to hop in tomorrow, we can do that as well.
	It's up to you.
	You just let me know.
	We're in touch, so let me know directly.
	Definitely.
	We're going way out in the jungle tomorrow, but we should be back roughly about this time unless rain gets us stuck in the jungle or something.
	But there might, even if we get stuck, I might have cell signal in parts of the jungle.
	It depends on where we're at.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I would just say be safe.
	May God be with you.
	And thank you for bringing this important information to the American people and for caring about it.
	Can I say one more thing?
	Yeah.
	Can I say one more thing?
	Just as we were leaving the last camp, there was one...
	Where was he from?
	Venezuela.
	No.
	Ecuador, I think.
	Anyway, it doesn't matter.
	He was drying his Bible.
	He was literally drying his Bible.
	He was a young man, and Masako saw him off the distance.
	He was drying a book, and we walked up to him.
	He was literally drying his Bible, and he accidentally dropped it in the river.
	Yeah, so we had a long conversation about that.
	It was really, really interesting.
	Sorry this thing's losing.
	No, that's a good story.
	There are a lot of Christians that are part of this migration, actually.
	Yeah, there are a lot.
	Well, please keep us informed.
	Please stay safe, Michael.
	We pray for your safety, and I know you're a smart guy.
	You have a lot of experience.
	You'll be fine, but keep us posted about what's going on, and we'll do our best here from Texas to try to spread the word about this and maybe find some better resolutions.
	Thank you, Michael.
	Thank you, Michael.
	All right.
	I'm looking forward to coming back on.
	Absolutely.
	Yep.
	Keep in touch.
	We'll get you back on tomorrow if you want to do that.
	All right.
	Folks, this is Michael Yan reporting from the Darien Gap right there in Panama.
	His website is michaelyan.locals.com if you want to support his work.
	And he has become a real friend of our network, brightyan.com, where we've had him in studio.
	You know, he joins us remotely like he's doing right now.
	And we'll bring him back on whenever he has important information to break for us, and we'll get the information out to you.
	You can also share this.
	You can repost this video on other platforms.
	We also cross-post these on Rumble and BitChute and other platforms as well.
	You can spread the word on alternative media and tell Elon Musk to stop banning our URLs on Twitter, and maybe one day you can share it on Twitter as well.
	Right now, Elon is not letting us get the word out about this.
	That's right.
	Yeah, that's right, Michael.
	He's banning Brighteon, and he's banning Substack also on Twitter, so not a good sign.
	So, yeah, I didn't know you were still listening either, Michael.
	I'm glad you're still there.
	Here comes one of the buses, by the way.
	Another one's coming in right now.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, yeah, I see it coming in.
	Yep.
	Okay.
	Man, I can't believe we just walked in the camp like that.
	Anyway, I'll talk to you later, Michael.
	Okay, yeah.
	Take care, Michael.
	Take care.
	Bye.
	We'll see you.
	All right.
	All right, Mike Adams here reporting from Texas, and that was Michael Jan from Panama.
	And that's, folks, this is the real deal.
	This is reality that you're looking at right here.
	And I want to thank you for your support of Brighteon.com.
	Thank you for your support of Michael Jan.
	And we'll be back with you tomorrow on Brighteon Broadcast News with more bombshell breaking news on a variety of subjects and additional interviews as well.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	God bless America.
	Get ready.
	It's going to be an interesting time for sure.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
