	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Friday, August 18th, 2023.
	Mike Adams here.
	And today we bring you a really bombshell interview with Dr.
	Joseph Mercola.
	And I think this, well, no doubt, this is the most powerful interview, even the most powerful conversation I've ever had with Dr.
	Mercola, who I've known for over 20 years.
	And we talk about the globalist attempt to completely eradicate the public's access to information about natural health and healing, nutrition, herbs, natural cures, all of it.
	And how Dr. Mercola has been, of course, persecuted by the establishment and named a chief disinformation agent.
	And even J.P. Morgan Chase debanked his business, I think his CEO and the family members in Florida.
	And also Dr.
	Mercola breaks some really astonishing news, which is that he is working with the Florida Attorney General to sue JPMorgan Chase for the viewpoint discrimination debanking that took place there.
	So you don't want to miss this interview.
	It's really hard hitting and it's a rare conversation between, frankly, the top two heavy hitters, that's Mercola and myself, you know, for over 20 years in the natural health space.
	We have done a lot of work over the years.
	Dr.
	Mercola was the trailblazer, and I came in the scene a few years later, but I've been at this for over 20 years as well.
	And then since COVID, a lot of other people have come on the scene in terms of the health scene.
	But Dr.
	Mercola is the original natural health educator and advocate, and this is a fascinating conversation.
	So you don't want to miss that.
	That's coming up.
	Also, I want to give you an update on the Karen Kingston situation as best I can.
	I published a story yesterday on Natural News that I did not talk about in the podcast or the broadcast, but I want to just make you aware of this.
	And here's the headline on naturalnews.com.
	Karen Kingston may be suffering adverse effects of malaria treatment, says family member.
	Following Karen's bizarre video claiming she was being hunted by the CIA. So still to this day, I have not heard from Karen.
	We tried to reach out.
	It's been radio silence.
	And even apparently her own son could not reach her.
	But he posted a video.
	His name is Gavin.
	And in that video, he essentially says, I'm paraphrasing, but he explains that he and his mom, Karen, they went on a tour in Mexico and they were hiking through the jungles to get to the Tulum ruins.
	And she had rashes on her arms and they agreed.
	He said they agreed it was malaria, that she had been afflicted with malaria.
	And that she had received some kind of treatment for this malaria.
	He says, quote, And he's referring to the bizarre video that she posted claiming she was being hunted by the CIA and calling out, essentially claiming that Dr.
	Robert Malone somehow had some part in this.
	So her son says those adverse effects might be affecting you really bad.
	And then a family member, apparently her sister, Sue Skidmore, had sent a message to Health Impact News.
	And that message was essentially asking for people to stop talking about Karen.
	And that message said, quote, For information on the side effects of malaria please visit CDC.gov.
	Her behavior strongly indicates Karen needs to be seen immediately by a physician.
	Her son and mother are safe and sound.
	They are not missing.
	So here we have two family members that are very much concerned about Karen's state and are urging her to seek out medical care and are giving, I guess, very limited information publicly about what's going on.
	But then Dr.
	Robert Malone, in his Substack account, he posted a response to Karen's video, and he points out that mefloquine, or mefloquine, however you pronounce it, Which is a common malaria treatment drug, has side effects that include potentially long-term mental health problems such as depression, hallucinations, anxiety, and neurological side effects such as poor balance, seizures, ringing in the ears, and so on.
	And so when you kind of put the pieces together on this, and I'm just sharing this with you publicly out of concern for Karen's current state, and we pray for her recovery.
	And we pray for her health, and we want her to get well and be well and return to her brilliant job of research.
	But it appears, this is my opinion based on the son's video and the letter from the family, And what Dr.
	Robert Malone pointed out, it appears that what Karen had posted in that video was not really Karen talking, that it appears she was either suffering from the side effects of malaria itself or the treatment for malaria.
	And so that could be an explanation for why she seemed so frazzled or anxious and was saying some things that frankly sounded pretty bizarre, such as, you know, Telling Robert Malone to call off the CIA hit squad, essentially.
	I mean, I'm paraphrasing, but that's essentially what she was saying.
	Bottom line is, I would not attribute that video to actually the things that Karen would say if she were well and not suffering from malaria or malaria treatments.
	And it does seem to me that we need to give her some time to get well, to overcome whatever she appears to be afflicted with according to her family.
	And then hopefully we'll hear from Karen.
	Hopefully she'll be okay.
	And hopefully she'll set the record straight and maybe pull back on some of the things that she said in that video because they were very hurtful to Dr.
	Malone, I'm sure.
	But also, I gotta say, I scrambled some resources as well.
	I had some of my contacts, former military operators, I was on essentially standby, ready to shuttle Karen to a safe house for her protection in the United States.
	And I was trying to reach out to Karen.
	And I was trying to, you know, because she asked me for help in the video by name.
	And since I know a lot of people who have a lot of resources and are good at keeping people safe and good at protecting people from, you know, assassins and so on, I began to make contact with some of the people I know and they began to consider options for not only putting her in a safe house in the United States but also an extraction possibility.
	And that's, I mean, extractions are very, very dangerous.
	And extraction means you go to, typically you go to a foreign country and you go get somebody.
	You know, you pull them out.
	And then you bring them back home.
	And typically, the people I know have done extractions.
	Often these kinds of extractions are, for example, they would be tasked with rescuing, let's say, the daughter of a senator who's trapped in Afghanistan behind enemy lines or something like that.
	Very common situation.
	Or, let's say, you know, it's often the daughter or the son of some important person, you know, State Department person, somebody with a lot of connections, who might have been, let's say, arrested for marijuana possession in Mexico or, you know, in some small town.
	And this kind of thing happens all the time, where the small town is asking for money, you know, it's a payoff or it's a K&R situation.
	Which means kidnap and ransom.
	And they'll even make up excuses, you know, the local law enforcement.
	Oh, we found a marijuana on your daughters, you know, and you've got to pay us like $100,000.
	But what happens instead is like ex-Navy SEALs get sent down there to various countries.
	And they extract somebody.
	And The best extractions involve no violence.
	Nobody gets killed.
	Nobody even knows what happened.
	It's just like, wow, this person is taken out.
	I mean, I should say extracted, not killed, but I mean removed from the danger and brought back to the United States and often returned to their parents, typically.
	Sometimes these extractions involve cults in America, by the way.
	There are some well-connected cults You know, wealthy families that might have a son or a daughter that gets kind of kidnapped by some kind of a crazy cult.
	You know, like the...
	What was that called?
	Oh, man, I keep forgetting the name of that cult.
	Heaven's Gate.
	Yeah, like the Heaven's Gate cult in California.
	And then the wealthy parents will hire the kind of people that do this.
	You know, they're all former military operators, former CIA operators, typically, or former special forces, whatever.
	And they'll take a contract, you know, here's $100,000, you go in and you extract this person.
	And of course the fee is based on the danger of the situation.
	Extraction in the U.S. typically doesn't cost $100,000.
	But you start doing extractions outside the U.S. and some of those start to get very, very pricey, especially if there's anticipated violence involved, where Where, you know, you got to take out some bad guys or some maybe child sex trafficking kidnapper type of people.
	And those extractions happen as well.
	I know I'm getting kind of off topic here.
	But the point is, I'm trying to make the point that there are people who do this professionally.
	They are extraction experts.
	I know some of these people, and fortunately they were not activated in this situation because we never heard back from Karen.
	But if she had needed extraction, for whatever reason, if she were being held ransom or kidnapped or whatever, I can assure you there are men in America who are capable of doing that job.
	But that is not the direction this went.
	But there are men who do this routinely in different countries for different reasons, sometimes saving, again, trafficked children.
	In fact, the Sound of Freedom movie essentially depicted some of these extraction operations or what you might call extraction operations.
	This is just part of our world, folks.
	This is how things actually happen.
	And sometimes these operators work in conjunction with certain white hats within the State Department, by the way.
	So not everybody in the U.S. State Department is evil.
	It's just the lunatics at the top.
	And frankly, you know, not everybody in the FBI is evil.
	Not everybody in the DOJ is evil.
	You know, it's just, it's a hodgepodge.
	There are white hats in every government agency.
	There are good guys in the FBI. There are good guys in the DOJ. There are good guys in Border Patrol.
	There are good guys in DIA, by the way.
	I mean, there are also some real crooks.
	And scumbags, but there are some good people in the Defense Intelligence Agency and they do dispatch professional men.
	There's no transgenders hired for this.
	You can't do this job in high heels and a push-up bra.
	They hire real men with real firearms and real military experience to go get this job done.
	And I just want you to know...
	There are resources available.
	And what Karen did when she posted that video is she perhaps inadvertently began to set into motion conversations among various personnel and resources about the possibility of her needing to be rescued or shuttled into a safe house operation.
	But that's not, again, that's not the direction that this went.
	All right, bottom line, we pray for Karen's recovery and safety and return to the United States, and hopefully she'll clear the air at some point here and tell us all what happened.
	All right, moving on.
	I forgot to mention this yesterday, but it's kind of made the rounds in alt media.
	You notice how the false flag operations are getting kind of sloppy now, the government, when they run false flag ops?
	They're no longer doing a good job covering it all up.
	You know, when Obama was president, the false flag operations were top notch.
	I mean, they could pull off false flags.
	They were clever.
	You know, they covered all their tracks.
	They had the timing down.
	You got to give Barack Hussein Obama some credit for being the evil genius trader that he is.
	He was smart.
	And his teams, as evil as they were, they were actually competent.
	They could run a false flag and make it convincing, and they got away with it.
	A lot of false flag shootings happened under Obama.
	Well, the Biden regime is so sloppy that they can't even carry out false flags in a, quote, proper fashion.
	The latest example of this is, of course, the Laha'ina fires in Maui.
	And the fact that not only is it so obvious that they didn't sound the alert sirens, you know, they called off the fire department so that the fire would actually spread.
	They shut off the water supply so people couldn't fight the fires themselves, which they were trying to do until the water got shut off.
	They had local law enforcement block the roads, trapping people and making it so that parents couldn't reach their children, many of whom burned alive.
	And the government announces, oh, we're going to have the state come in and just take this land.
	After we burn your children alive, we're going to take your land.
	And then on top of that, as if that's not enough, but on top of that, on Amazon.com, there's a book about the Maui fires that was...
	It was announced or launched on August 10th, before the fires had even burned out.
	And the book is called Fire and Fury, The Story of the 2023 Maui Fire and Its Implications for Climate Change by Dr.
	Miles Stones.
	And this book, again, which came out before the fires even finished burning, this book says...
	It describes the harrowing experiences of the people who lived through the fire, as well as the heroic efforts of the firefighters and rescuers who battled the flames.
	It examines the causes and consequences of the fire, both locally and globally, and how it exposes the vulnerability of our society and our planet to the impacts of climate change.
	It draws on scientific research, eyewitness accounts, official reports, media coverage, on and on and on.
	And you're like...
	They had to have pre-written this book before the fire, obviously.
	I mean, just the description I just read for you, that you can't write that in one day, or two days, or, you know, you can't do that.
	This book was written before the fires.
	And this reminds me, I don't know if you've seen the footage from 9-11, But remember that newscaster lady who was reporting that World Trade Center Building 7 had just fallen?
	You know, that was building, that was the third building that was not hit by any airplane and was brought down, obviously, by controlled demolition, WTC7. And she was reporting, WTC7 has fallen.
	But in the background behind her on the news video, you could still see the building was still there.
	Because they got the time messed up because of the time zones, and they told her to read that script at a certain hour, but it was the wrong hour.
	The building hadn't been demolished yet.
	So she's there reading that script, like Building 7 has fallen, and it's standing right behind her.
	They messed up the timing.
	False flag glitch, right?
	Well, this is what happened right here with this book, Fire and Fury, the story of the 2023 Maui fire.
	They released the book too soon.
	The fire wasn't even over yet.
	I mean, realistically, you would have to have at least a couple of weeks to write a book like this.
	Wouldn't you?
	I mean, we're going to analyze the global implications to society and our planet, the impacts.
	We're going to summarize the scientific research and eyewitness accounts and official reports.
	And it even says it offers practical solutions and recommendations how we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate and on and on and on.
	You can't write this in one day.
	So obviously, obviously this fire was planned.
	It was planned.
	It was engineered.
	Everything about the timeline of the Maui fires, I'm going to say Maui now instead of Maui just because that's the way most Americans say it, but the whole timeline was planned out.
	I mean, first they used geoengineering to make everything dry and crispy and ready to burn.
	And then they can use, you know, directed energy weapons, DEWs to set something on fire, or they could just use arson.
	Didn't matter.
	Pretty easy to set things on fire in those conditions.
	And then they'd call off the fire department, shut down the sirens, shut off the water, block the roads.
	Oh, and the governor had to sign the executive order weeks earlier that would allow him to seize that land and turn it over to high-rise developers.
	Uh-huh.
	High-rise, big developers with deep pockets and big money.
	Guess who's going to get the land of Laha'ina when all this is said and done?
	Guess where that's going?
	I mean, first, the government of Hawaii will come in and seize it, and then they'll give you some BS story like, we're going to preserve the land for the people.
	No, no, you're not.
	You're stealing it.
	You burned out the people who live there, and you're stealing the land.
	You murder the children, and you're stealing their land, and then, you know, fast forward a year, or 18 months, or two years, or whatever, and then, like, there's going to be some secret, you know, New Year's Eve, under the table, back deal door, where we sign it over to, you know, mega casino corporation, or whatever, or, you know, some...
	A hundred billion dollar giant globalist corporation is going to build like a luxury resort there on the land where the children burned alive.
	And that's what's coming, folks.
	That's exactly what's coming.
	This was a false flag operation to blame climate change and to steal the land.
	From...
	From the native people of Hawaii who have never been valued by the U.S. Empire.
	And so, by the way, one of the things, the silver lining of this horrible situation is that a lot of native Hawaiians are waking up and they are seeing how evil the occupying enemy empire actually is.
	You know, because what year was Hawaii annexed into the empire?
	Let me check.
	Okay, I'm checking that.
	It says 1959 is when Hawaii became the 50th state of the empire.
	And before that, it was under a single kingdom for 80 years under the reign of King Kamehameha.
	And let's see, the rules of secession it talks about.
	And they claim that there was a referendum for Hawaii to join the U.S. Empire and that that referendum received 93% yes votes to join the U.S. Hmm.
	Vote rigging in 1959, folks.
	This isn't new.
	They've been rigging votes forever.
	What, you think that was an honest vote?
	No, of course not.
	Guess who ran the voting back then?
	Yeah, the same scumbags who are running it now.
	They use fake voting to get whatever they want.
	I mean, to convince people that it was all legitimate and it was all democratic, but it was never democratic.
	And there are people in Hawaii right now Who understand that they've been living under occupation since 1959.
	And believe me, there's a lot of talk right now about secession in Hawaii.
	When you realize how evil it is these people come along and burn your children alive and then steal your land and turn it over to property developers and lecture you about how you have to be supportive of democracy.
	I mean, seriously?
	Yeah, the evil of the empire is getting difficult for people to justify or hide behind because it's so obvious now.
	Oh, hey, by the way, the Maui County Emergency Management Administrator named Herman Andaya has resigned.
	After failing to activate warning sirens during the deadliest fires in U.S. history, reports TrendingPoliticsNews.com.
	So the statement from the Maui County Mayor Richard Bisson said that Andaya was stepping down due to health reasons.
	Yeah, I'll bet.
	Due to health reasons.
	How much you want to bet that this was all engineered?
	You know, I mean, I don't know how...
	Maybe Herman Andaya had no knowledge of it.
	Maybe there was sabotage of the sirens.
	I don't know.
	But it was designed to make sure that these sirens did not sound off.
	The emergency services director's resignation comes just one day after he made his first public appearance at a press conference.
	One week after the devastating blaze burned more than 2,700 buildings that were destroyed, causing $5.5 billion in property damage, 111 Maui residents confirmed dead, with that figure expected to rise as many hundreds remain missing.
	Andaya said...
	I guess this is an omission that he intentionally did not turn it on.
	He said the public is trained to seek higher ground in the event that the siren is sounded.
	Had we sounded the siren that night, we're afraid that people would have gone to Mauka, to the mountainside, and if that was the case, they would have gone into the fire.
	So I guess he's defending the decision to not sound the alarm, because he thinks that if people have no clue what's happening, that's better than...
	Wondering what's going on.
	I mean, at least if you sound the siren, at least you're going to alert people to, you know, take a look and try to find out what's going on.
	Why are the sirens sounding?
	Rather than just, oh, everybody's taking a nap and then the fires sweep through and burn everybody to death.
	So what good is an emergency alert system if the bureaucrats in charge of it aren't willing to freaking use it?
	These people, these bureaucrats, and you notice they never face prosecution?
	I mean, isn't this manslaughter, at the very least?
	Isn't this person complicit in the deaths of 111 people so far, and many more to come?
	You have an emergency alert system, freaking press the button!
	Unreal.
	Folks, you've got to stop believing that any element of your government is there to help you.
	They are not.
	There's a reason the sirens weren't activated.
	There's a reason the water was turned off.
	There's a reason the fire department was called off.
	People still have this absurd, irrational, false...
	Hope that government cares about them, that government's going to protect them and save them from the next emergency.
	Almost all of which, the emergencies, are caused by government.
	You've got to stop, and I know you listening to this, you're already understanding this, but for the people out there, they've got to stop being so naive and gullible in thinking that any level of government is there to help them.
	Local, state, federal.
	No.
	They are there more often than not to control you, to enslave you, and sometimes to kill you.
	And there is a political person in Germany, an MEP in Germany, Christine Anderson, who gets this.
	And I'm going to play for you, in fact, about a three-minute video of her Urging the people of the world, in her words, to rebel against the tyranny.
	Do not comply.
	Do not be gullible.
	Realize they are out to kill you.
	And again, this is coming from an MEP in Germany.
	So let's listen to this video because it's a powerful segment of truth that will resonate with all of you listening to this right now.
	Let's give it a listen.
	This whole COVID madness, this so-called pandemic, it was just a test balloon.
	A gigantic test balloon.
	Well, for what, you ask?
	Well, to see how far they could go.
	To see what exactly they would have to do to get free individuals in a free and democratic society.
	To consent to be enforced into compliance.
	That's what they were trying to establish.
	That's what they were trying to figure out.
	And they have figured it out.
	Trust me.
	They are much smarter now.
	The goal ultimately is to transform our free and democratic societies into totalitarian societies.
	Their goal is to strip each and every one of us Of our fundamental rights, of freedom, democracy, the rule of law.
	They want to get rid of all of this.
	This whole COVID thing had never anything to do with public health.
	It never had anything to do with breaking waves.
	It always had to do with breaking people.
	In order to make us a part of a mindless, malleable mass, which they can totally control, and we will be completely dependent upon this globalitarian elite.
	So I'm really...
	Imploring the people and all the peoples around the world, for God's sake, stop giving your democratically elected governments the benefit of the doubt.
	They are not deserving of that.
	They are not.
	Stop rationalizing Whatever your government is doing, stop rationalizing and come up with some good intentions.
	They have no good intentions.
	Never, as I said before, in the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite concerned about the well-being of regular people.
	And it isn't any different now.
	Why should it stop giving them the benefit of the doubt?
	Because I can tell you, you cannot comply your way out of a tyranny.
	It is impossible.
	Trying to do so, you will only feed a gigantic alligator in the hopes of being eaten last.
	But guess what?
	Your turn will come, and then you will be the one swallowed up.
	I also have to ask the people, end your silence.
	Speak up.
	For God's sake, stop complying.
	Start rebelling.
	They're out to get you if you do not resist.
	Now what's interesting about what she just said is that in my interview with Dr.
	Joseph Mercola, which is coming up here, Mercola said much the same thing.
	He said that COVID was the test run.
	He said that something much bigger, much worse, much more deadly is coming, that it's been planned, and that the goal is to enslave humanity and ultimately to depopulate humanity.
	We talked about that in our interview.
	So that's coming up, and Mercola is exactly correct on this point.
	If you're a human being today and you're not part of the political elite, you have been targeted for termination.
	And that termination effort can come through a multitude of vectors.
	It could be a fire that burns out your town and murders your children.
	It could be a false flag cyber attack on the power grid.
	It could be a banking system collapse.
	We've got to talk about that.
	Evergrande has just filed for bankruptcy in China.
	The implications of this are absolutely enormous.
	A ticking time bomb of a global debt collapse has just been set off.
	We'll get to that.
	But there are any number of ways that the masses can be exterminated by the globalists.
	One of those is famine and starvation, which we talk about very frequently here.
	But make no mistake, there is no government body There's no national government.
	There is no government agency that as a whole gives a crap about whether you live or die.
	None of them.
	It's not their concern.
	And many of the people running governments today have been ordered by far more powerful globalist groups.
	Which also Dr.
	Mercola talks about in our interview.
	But these powerful globalist groups have ordered presidents and prime ministers and so on to achieve extermination milestones and quotas in their countries.
	Because there is a global depopulation effort underway and each country's leader has been given a task of what they're supposed to achieve.
	And I was told, actually more than two years ago it seems, that that number...
	The target extermination number for the United States was 70%.
	70%.
	And I'm thinking about how does that line up with the Deagle prediction?
	In fact, let's just run that.
	So let's see.
	338 million times 0.7.
	That would mean the death of 237 million people, which would leave, yeah, just under 100 million people.
	Or just around, I guess slightly over 100 million people.
	But isn't that consistent with what Deagle had predicted?
	By the end of 2025, I believe.
	Now, I think that prediction has been taken offline from the Deagle report, but isn't it curious that that lines up, the 70% reduction of population lines up with exactly the Deagle prediction?
	Or, you know, within plus or minus like 2%.
	That's kind of freaky.
	But this is what's going on.
	Your government is literally a terrorist organization trying to find a multitude of ways to murder you and your family.
	That's just a fact.
	Whether you're listening to this in Canada, in the UK, in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and a bunch of other countries, you know, Germany, France, wherever.
	Poland, even.
	I don't know, maybe not Poland.
	But in most places, your government's trying to murder you because they've been ordered to do so.
	There was a little piece of news today about an IRS agent shooting another IRS agent to death, accidentally, apparently, during firearms training in Phoenix, Arizona.
	This was reported by Raw's alerts on Twitter.
	It occurred during a routine training exercise at the Federal Correctional Institution.
	What?
	The agent was immediately taken to the hospital to be treated for the injury.
	The agent passed away shortly after arriving at the hospital.
	I mean, isn't the obvious question here, why are IRS agents training with guns?
	That's my question.
	And if they don't have enough training to not shoot each other to death, Why should we trust them with guns running around society threatening taxpayers?
	Or tax protesters, as the case may be, you know?
	Why do IRS agents have guns?
	Why are all these federal agencies heavily armed?
	And why are these people obviously incompetent?
	Or shooting and killing each other?
	Why are they training at the federal correctional institution?
	I mean, there's a question.
	Man, I wouldn't trust these people with guns in their hands, and I wouldn't trust them even without guns.
	These people are obviously a danger to society.
	I guess we'll have to update the saying, you know, guns don't kill people.
	IRS agents kill people.
	In fact, they kill each other.
	We have to give Alec Baldwin a pass now.
	He's off the hook now since IRS agents are apparently pointing guns at each other and pulling the trigger and killing each other during training.
	Very sad.
	Very sad.
	Okay, there was breaking news about Project Veritas, which of course is the organization originally founded by James O'Keefe, but the board kicked James O'Keefe out of the organization.
	What was that, a couple of months ago?
	And then O'Keefe continued his work with O'Keefe Media Group, OMG, which is funny.
	And at the time that happened, I said, look, Project Veritas is done.
	I mean, who's going to donate to Project Veritas without James O'Keefe being there?
	Because as far as I'm concerned, Project Veritas, you know, was James O'Keefe.
	I mean, James O'Keefe was Project Veritas.
	Without James O'Keefe, Project Veritas is just a joke.
	It's just another bunch of, I don't know, what's the right way to describe this?
	I don't know.
	People jockeying for control and power, the board members and whatever.
	Mostly spineless people who can't do what James O'Keefe does, and so they just want to backstab people like James O'Keefe so they can claw their way to higher positions of power and influence.
	Of course, the funding to Project Veritas dried up immediately after James O'Keefe left.
	And so yesterday, or last night, on Twitter, one of the employees of Project Veritas posted, SOS! The CEO just fired us all!
	Fired us all!
	And there's a story out there now that says that the CEO, Hannah Giles, has laid off almost all the employees of Project Veritas.
	And Project Veritas is going to operate on a skeleton staff now, according to Giles.
	Donations collapsed after O'Keefe left Project Veritas.
	And, let's see, it's reported the business model was not sustainable.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because you people are morons.
	You kicked out James O'Keefe.
	Yeah, I mean, this is actually a really great lesson to observe.
	You cooked the goose that laid the golden eggs.
	Alright?
	James O'Keefe is the goose.
	He was laying golden eggs for all of you there at Project Veritas while you're collecting fat, easy salaries on the back of his efforts and his work, right?
	You didn't realize that you need James O'Keefe because James O'Keefe is the one who's got the balls to go out there and confront people and do the undercover work and put his neck on the line.
	And yeah, maybe James O'Keefe isn't perfect.
	I get it.
	He's human.
	You know, maybe he's...
	I don't know.
	Maybe he's a wild man around the office and throws coffee mugs or something.
	I don't know.
	I'm just making that up.
	But who cares?
	Who cares?
	He's out there confronting the tyrants and the criminal cartels in our government and in media and so on.
	O'Keefe is essentially or was Project Veritas.
	So...
	All these people are learning a lesson of how hard it is to do what James O'Keefe does.
	And they're learning it the hard way.
	And they all lost their jobs.
	I guess I should say that they're getting exactly what they deserve.
	I think that's what just happened.
	They're getting exactly what they deserve for kicking James O'Keefe out of that organization.
	It would be like, imagine if there was...
	Imagine if I invited a bunch of people to start a board of natural news and to control natural news according to the board members.
	And for some reason, if I lost my mind or something, I subjected myself to the tyranny of the bureaucracy of a board.
	And then that board somehow voted me out one day and said, you know, Health Rangers, out of here!
	Natural News doesn't need the Health Ranger.
	We're just going to run Natural News ourselves and Health Ranger can go pound sand, right?
	Imagine if that happened.
	I mean, that will never happen because I don't believe in tyranny by boards.
	But if that did happen, you know how fast Natural News would crater?
	Because...
	Natural News without the Health Ranger, not the same thing.
	Just like Project Veritas without James O'Keefe, not the same thing.
	Or imagine InfoWars without Alex Jones, right?
	It wouldn't be the same.
	Alex Jones is InfoWars.
	So, you know, people got to remember, there are driving personalities who demonstrate the courage and who walk the talk and who do the work.
	And that's Alex Jones, and that's James O'Keefe, and I guess I've got to give myself credit too.
	I do the work.
	I do the interviews.
	I do my job.
	And I'm not replaceable.
	James O'Keefe is not replaceable.
	Alex Jones is not replaceable.
	And so on and so forth.
	Many other examples of that.
	Tucker Carlson, not replaceable.
	Sayer G. Without Sayer G, Green Med Info is nothing.
	Right?
	Right?
	On and on and on.
	Anyway, you get the idea, so I'll move on.
	Now, some of you who are in the world of cryptocurrency, you may have noticed that crypto took a big hit yesterday.
	Bitcoin dropped at about 10%.
	I also noticed, because I own Monero, and I noticed Monero also took quite a big plunge, the biggest one I've seen in a while.
	I guess it went from $160 down to $143.
	So I guess that's roughly about 10% or so.
	Often the other cryptos follow Bitcoin.
	When Bitcoin gets clobbered, the other cryptos get clobbered as well.
	Now, there are a lot of different...
	Justifications or explanations for why this happened.
	Above all, of course, everybody should remember, crypto is risky in terms of the volatility of its price currently.
	And it can go up and down quite a lot.
	There can be some pretty wild swings in crypto.
	You've got to keep that in mind.
	But there's a big thing that happened that I think is related to this.
	I'm going to explain it.
	China's Evergrande files for bankruptcy.
	That's the headline from CNN Business.
	In fact, I want to see if I can pull this up on CNBC to see if they covered it.
	Let's see.
	Bitcoin tumbles as much as 9%, but it recovered.
	Oh, here we go.
	China's property giant Evergrande files for bankruptcy protection in Manhattan Court.
	So Evergrande, as you may know, is, I believe, the second largest property developer in China.
	And China has...
	They have a debt problem that's even worse than the U.S. debt problem, if you can believe that.
	In China, they don't have a Social Security system.
	And the typical way that the Chinese people invest in a retirement is to spend money on, usually to own an apartment in a high-rise building that they believe will hold value, that they can sell off later when they need the money in retirement.
	You know, in their older years.
	And so because of this, Evergrande and other property developers in China had for years been essentially running a Ponzi scheme where they would pre-sell these luxury apartments to citizens who would put a lot of money down on these and then Evergrande would promise to build them over the next few years.
	But as often happens in the case of construction, and you can see this in swimming pool contract companies in the United States.
	There was a guy just convicted in Florida over this where his company was taking all these down payments to build all these swimming pools for people, but he wasn't building the pools.
	He was pocketing the money and buying luxury vacations and cars and whatever, and he wasn't building the pools.
	Because he can always push the construction out, but demand the cash up front.
	And well, that's what Evergrande has been doing for many years.
	And Evergrande sold a lot of debt instruments, essentially bonds, to raise money.
	To increase their profitability and to provide some cash flow liquidity because, of course, construction is very cash flow intensive because you've got to buy up front a lot of materials and you've got to pay contractors.
	There's a lot of concrete and rebar and things like that that go into building these things.
	Oh, and China has ghost cities.
	Now, these massive high-rises that are completely unoccupied, that probably no one will ever occupy.
	Because the individual citizens have paid Evergrande and other companies to build them because they thought this was their investment in their future.
	But they're unoccupied.
	And since China is now on the verge of a population collapse, by the way, just demographically speaking, they're not having enough children to even replace the current population.
	The long-term outlook on these high-rise apartments everywhere, it's pretty grim.
	These are going to go close to zero, by the way.
	I mean, we're talking about a massive real estate collapse and a debt collapse that is about to whipsaw across China's economy.
	And it's going to affect, and this is the important part, it's going to affect Western banks that invested in Evergrande by purchasing the debt instruments.
	Which offered some pretty high payouts relative to a lot of other debt instruments.
	So you could go to Evergrande and you could say, here's $100 million and give me, you know, 8% return or whatever, and you could get the debt instruments.
	Well, Evergrande has now filed for bankruptcy.
	This just happened.
	Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection.
	You probably haven't heard of Chapter 15, or at least it's not a very common chapter to invoke.
	It's used when bankruptcies involve multiple countries.
	So when a corporation spans different jurisdictions, the U.S. and China, for example, or the U.S. and Hong Kong or whatever.
	So Chapter 15...
	Is the filing that sets that up.
	And according to CNBC, the firm sought recognition of restructuring talks underway in Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands, and the British Virgin Islands.
	Hmm.
	Already sounding fishy.
	The world's most indebted property developer defaulted in 2021 and announced an offshore debt restructuring program in March.
	Doesn't sound like it's going well.
	And in fact, this Chapter 15 filing is designed to shield Evergrande from U.S. holders of its debt instruments, of its bonds.
	Okay, so that's what's about to happen here.
	Now, what does this have to do with crypto?
	Well, many people believe, and I interviewed John Perez about this quite a while ago, many people believe that Tether, which is a stable coin, was heavily invested in Evergrande and other property developers in China.
	You know how Tether says that every Tether coin that is created is backed by one dollars worth of some kind of asset or near liquid asset somewhere, somehow, but they've never really produced accounting or auditing that would back this up.
	You know, not really.
	I mean, they've kind of had some fake audits and things, but not a real legit audit.
	So a lot of people believe that Tether owns a lot of its assets as Evergrande debt.
	And at the same time, Tether has been used to buy...
	A whole boatload of Bitcoin over the last few years.
	In fact, I don't know the exact numbers, but according to some estimates, the vast majority of purchases of Bitcoin have been made using Tether for the last several years.
	And in other words, what is being alleged and why this bankruptcy filing may have caused Bitcoin to crater 9% in one day?
	At least this is the theory.
	But, you know, do your own research and draw your own conclusions.
	But what's being alleged is that, number one, Evergrande ran a property developer Ponzi scheme, sold off a lot of bonds, sort of scuttled away all the money, didn't build the properties that it promised.
	I mean, some of them got built, but not all of them.
	They essentially went under, and yet...
	Tether bought so many bonds from Evergrande as a way to shuttle money over two Chinese-based assets, and Tether then minted Tether coins.
	Based on the purchasing of Evergrande debt, Tether minted the coins, claimed they were backed by the Tether debt, and then used those coins, which are valued at $1 each, to buy Bitcoin, and because there are exchanges out there that recognize a Tether coin as having a $1 value,
	and that these exchanges actually trade Bitcoin for Tether, you can swap Bitcoin for Tether, then The people behind Tether were able to acquire a boatload of Bitcoin through what is alleged to be a Tether counterfeiting operation where the Tether was minted by purchasing debt from Evergrande that would ultimately collapse.
	And so that's the allegation.
	And the clock has just started ticking on this of how much we're going to find out and how ugly it's going to get.
	Depending on who you talk to, if Evergrande, if this bankruptcy really kicks in, which, I mean, this has been building for quite a while.
	I covered this like eight months ago, and I said this day was coming.
	You can go back and listen to my coverage and my interviews with John Perez and so on about Evergrande.
	We talked about this day.
	The clock is now ticking.
	And a lot of debt instruments are going to now be in default.
	This is going to ripple through the Western banking system.
	It could very easily affect Tether, which could very easily affect Bitcoin.
	And one result of this is that Bitcoin could, theoretically, lose a lot of value if this whole thing goes belly up.
	Now, that's not a price prediction on my part.
	I'm not telling you to sell Bitcoin or buy Bitcoin.
	I'm not telling you it's going to go to $5,000 or whatever, or $5.
	I'm not telling you it's going to go to $100,000.
	What I'm saying is that Bitcoin has exposure through Tether, and Tether appears to have exposure through Evergrande, and Evergrande just filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in order to nullify the debt instruments, the debt holders in the United States.
	So do the math on that, folks, and ask yourself, where do you think this is going?
	It's not going to be pretty.
	Not going to be pretty.
	Tether, in fact, has been used to buy a lot of assets in the crypto space.
	You can use Tether to buy Monero.
	You can use Tether to buy essentially almost everything in the crypto space.
	And so if Tether collapses, crypto could experience a dramatic collapse, even worse than what happened during FTX, during which many cryptos fell anywhere from 50% to 90%.
	If Tether collapses...
	And I'm not hoping for this, by the way.
	And, you know, I'm pro-cryptocurrency.
	And I'm a fan of privacy crypto, like Monero in particular.
	That's why I have my whole new show, you know, Decentralized TV. And we've got two new episodes just about ready to release, by the way.
	So I'm not hoping for the destruction of crypto.
	But if Tether goes down, I would not be surprised to see an across-the-board correction or fall...
	In crypto values of another 50% to even 90% from where they are now.
	It's possible.
	Again, it's not a price prediction.
	Don't make investment decisions based on this analysis.
	But I'm just saying that this is a possibility.
	Am I going to sell my Monero because of this?
	My answer is no, I'm not.
	I hold Bitcoin too.
	Am I selling Bitcoin because of this?
	No, I'm not.
	In fact, I said in a previous podcast, I expect there are going to be times when Monero might even lose 50% of its value.
	It's possible.
	I'm not selling it because I recognize the utility of Of having cryptocurrency, especially private crypto, that is portable and private and borderless and fully fungible.
	Something that you can take with you.
	Something that is impossible for any government of the world to see or to confiscate.
	Whereas I know the dollar is losing value every day.
	And I know that my bank might fail tomorrow or have a bail-in tomorrow and seize my funds and I would lose 100%.
	Because of that, because of the reality of the vulnerabilities of the fiat currency system, and gosh, we have the BRICS Nations meeting here coming up August 22nd.
	Global de-dollarization is accelerating like never before.
	The dollar is doomed.
	And so...
	If I lose some value in crypto during all of this but still retain the majority of it and have the utility of it and have the privacy of it, in my book, that's still a victory because there are going to be a lot of people that lose almost everything in the fiat currency world.
	So it's kind of like, I know I sound like the bearer of really bad news right now, Because I'm not saying that, yeah, you're going to be able to protect everything.
	No, you're probably going to lose almost no matter where you put your assets other than maybe physical gold and silver.
	If you have physical gold and silver, I don't think you're going to lose any value.
	But if you hold fiat currency, you're going to lose something.
	If you hold crypto, you might lose something.
	It still has utility anyway.
	But if you hold gold and silver...
	Physical, medals, I don't think you're going to lose anything in that case.
	So that might be the only actual asset that ends up unscathed in all of this is medals.
	And by the way, I interviewed Andy Sheckman last week.
	And if you haven't heard that interview...
	See, did I run that Friday or did I run it Monday?
	I forgot.
	But just check my channel on Brighttown.com.
	And I played...
	Part of the Andy Sheckman interview as part of the Bright Town Broadcast News.
	You've got to hear that interview.
	We're going to do the full interview with Andy Sheckman coming up as part of a Decentralized TV episode.
	So that's coming.
	But if you want to get the latest on bricks and dedollarization, check out my interview with Andy Sheckman.
	Also, if you're looking for medals right now, I guess I'll just plug our sponsor in that space, the Treasure Island.
	Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	And you can find them at metalswithmike.com.
	And no, I don't earn a commission.
	There's no commission paid from our sponsor.
	There's no room in the pricing, very competitive pricing.
	Discreet delivery, insured delivery, excellent customer service.
	If you think that gold and silver are right for you and you want to have possession of them, well, there you go.
	Metalswithmike.com is where you can find out about that.
	And remember, the mix that I have personally decided to go with is gold and silver and crypto.
	And it's kind of in that order, by the way.
	It's like, first is gold, then it's silver for the barterability and the divisibility, and then it's crypto for the portability and the privacy and the non-confiscatability.
	And in my case, crypto, I prefer to hold privacy coins.
	Privacy coins.
	And the privacy crypto projects that we have actually interviewed On decentralized.tv, there's three of them so far, and that is Monero, and then Firo, which is spelled F-I-R-O, by the way, and then Beam.
	Monero, Firo, and Beam.
	Those are three...
	This is kind of like large, medium, and small in terms of their market cap and the liquidity.
	Monero is the biggest by far.
	So if you're looking for sort of the most liquid privacy coin, it's Monero.
	And I prefer Monero over Bitcoin because of the privacy features, but I do hold some of both.
	And we'll see how much of that is left at the end of this.
	You know, we...
	We might see a big burning down of the crypto space depending on what happens with Evergrande and Tether and everything else.
	It's going to be something to behold.
	That's for sure.
	Okay, a different topic now.
	And this is kind of the medical clown world topic of the day.
	And this comes from One America News reporting on the American Medical Association, the AMA, which is ultra-woke.
	The AMA has just been overrun by libtards at this point.
	They're now saying that taxpayers should fund...
	Uterus transplants for biological men that want to experience pregnancy.
	Oh my gosh!
	This is a $300,000 procedure apparently.
	And I guess it's not enough to mutilate children's genitals and slice and dice little kids.
	The AMA wants to slice open a man and take a uterus from a woman somehow.
	I'm not sure where they're getting the uterus.
	As if it's all just copy and paste.
	You could just cut this part out of this person and plop it into this other...
	This is like comic book biology.
	And they want to transplant this uterus into a man who's pretending to be a woman.
	And...
	And then hope that they can use enough chemicals and hormones to get this man pregnant somehow, although it's not clear.
	Like, how does, where does the sperm even, I mean, how do you even get pregnant when you don't even have a vagina?
	I mean, I hope I'm not being too graphic, but these should be obvious questions, right?
	And then even if somehow they could fake a pregnancy, because everything's counterfeit in society today, you know, fake news, fake currency, fake pregnancies, what kind of torture would that be to an unborn child?
	To be subjected to this inundation of hormones and chemicals and all these medical procedures and probably a very slim chance of even surviving.
	I mean, what kind of twisted, sick experiment is this?
	It's like Frankenstein.
	It's like trans-enstein.
	Franken-trans.
	There we go.
	That's probably what it is.
	Franken-trans.
	Oh my gosh.
	The AMA has argued that If we don't give these transgenders the ability to bear children, then that could cause them psychological harm, which could undermine their well-being.
	I mean, you hear the twisted arguments here?
	So, first of all, a man pretending to be a woman, they've got a mental illness already.
	That's a mental illness.
	And the AMA says, in order to make sure this person, who we know to be mentally ill, in order to make sure that That their well-being is taken care of.
	We have to play along with their mental illness and take a uterus out of some woman somewhere, put it into this person so that they can pretend that they have a woman's biology and then we're going to pretend with them to coddle their mental health.
	And by the way, the media reporting on this is all a big lie.
	They're calling these people transgender women.
	They're not transgender women.
	They're biological men who are pretending to be women.
	That's not a transgender woman.
	That's not a woman at all.
	That's a man.
	And if you try to play along with the mental illness, you're only encouraging more scarring and surgery, which of course enriches the woke medical industrial complex that the AMA represents.
	I mean, how much money are doctors and surgeons with their scalpels and drugs going to make off of these medical mutilations of children and adults alike?
	You know, playing Frankenstein on people's bodies instead of We're recommending that these people get some counseling.
	It's not okay to tell people that the only way you're going to be fine is to mutilate your physical body.
	No, no, no.
	People need to learn to live with the bodies that God gave them, the bodies that they're born with.
	I mean, gosh, what a concept.
	It's bizarre that we even have to talk about this.
	This is going to go down in history, by the way, this whole medical transgender insanity, this is going to go down in history as one of the horrors of Western medicine, which is also collapsing, by the way.
	The collapse of Western medicine, we'll note this, as one of the highlights of the darkest and most fatal chapter of the end of Western medicine.
	Of course, you know, the deadly bioweaponized vaccines will be one of the other highlights, but these medical mutilations, the hormone destruction of innocent children, and the chopping up The Frankensteinian transmogrification of human bodies in the name of mental well-being.
	It's beyond a clown show.
	It's demonic.
	It's a horror show.
	I mean, yes, these people need help.
	These people need counseling.
	They need some wellness assistance in the realm of cognitive resilience.
	They do need help.
	You don't help them by slicing and dicing them and swapping organs and doing long-term hormone therapies with unknown medical risks to both the person and whatever child might even possibly be conceived in that Frankensteinian context.
	These are medical monsters, the AMA I'm talking about, and the doctors that do this, they are medical monsters.
	And they are playing mad scientist Frankenstein on the bodies of people who are mentally ill and need to be directed to counseling or psychiatric care, not scalpels and hormones.
	And again, this should be obvious to any rational person at this point.
	But the AMA is not rational.
	The AMA is some kind of twisted, satanic, you know, what on earth has the AMA become?
	What has Western medicine become?
	But, you know, an embarrassing, shameless bunch of pharma whores and drug pushers and depopulation jab pushers and just the most sickening, like medical murderers and hospital homicide operators.
	That's what these people have become.
	COVID proved it.
	And people see it now.
	Western medicine has lost the trust of the people, most of the people who are still alive.
	Of course, you know, they were trusted by many who are already dead because they were killed in the hospitals.
	But for those who survived COVID, they don't trust the hospitals.
	They don't trust the doctors.
	They don't trust the CDC, the FDA, the big pharma.
	They don't trust the government.
	You'd be crazy to.
	People are going to great lengths now to stay out of the hospitals, which is probably a very wise thing to do.
	As I relate it, I almost severed my index finger.
	I almost lost my finger.
	And I didn't even go to the emergency room.
	Because I don't trust those people.
	I don't trust their motivations.
	I don't trust their procedures.
	I don't trust their IVs or whatever.
	You're not sticking that in me.
	I don't know what's in that.
	What kind of mad little medical experiment are you running here?
	You know, they're getting paid bonus money for killing people and calling it COVID. Yeah, no thanks.
	I'm out of here.
	You know, I'll take my bloody finger and I'll do my own thing.
	Thank you very much.
	Which I did and have nearly a full recovery, by the way.
	I don't trust these people.
	Now, again, just to be clear, look, if I had a severe laceration on my leg or broke a bone or whatever, Yeah, I would.
	I would go into emergency care.
	There are some excellent ER doctors out there.
	I do want to give them credit.
	There are some life-saving, you know, emergency room physicians and surgeons and so on.
	They do exist.
	And they do save lives in many cases, you know, from trauma and accidents and stabs and gunshots and so on.
	There are good doctors in the system.
	You know, I don't want to paint them all with the same brush.
	I'm just saying.
	The American Medical Association has lost its damn mind.
	And this push for transgenderism and also, by the way, this anti-white, anti-Chinese medical school education system now where you're not even allowed to qualify for medical school if you're Asian or white in many cases because you're penalized.
	And all they want is woke applicants to come in who in many cases are not qualified to even get into medical school.
	So the AMA wants the most incompetent doctors To go through medical school, probably because they are the most controllable and brainwashable with the false propaganda of the Western medical system, which is collapsing because it's based on murder and big pharma profits, by the way, and pushing depopulation interventions to exterminate humanity.
	I mean, that's what Western medicine has now become.
	A death machine.
	And so, you know, those of you listening who are doctors, maybe you're an ER doc listening to this, you can't blame us for not trusting doctors, because your colleagues are murderers, even if you're not.
	And we know it.
	We know it.
	I interviewed people about this.
	I interviewed a nurse who testified that The doctors ordered her and her staff to murder every patient on one floor of a hospital during COVID. They were ordered to kill.
	And how many people were deprived access to ivermectin, by the way?
	Which is another way that the medical system killed people.
	In fact, there's a story that just popped up in the Epoch Times I've got to share with you about this because it shows that...
	Well, here's the headline.
	Most intensive ivermectin use had a 74% reduction in excess deaths in Peru, according to a new study.
	This is a peer-reviewed ecological study based in Peru.
	It was published August 8th.
	It found a 74% reduction in excess deaths in 10 states with the most intensive ivermectin use over a 30-day period following peak deaths during the pandemic.
	When ivermectin was available without restriction, there was a 14-fold reduction in nationwide excess deaths.
	You see?
	Peru promoted ivermectin at first, and then later they restricted its use.
	And after they restricted its use, then more people started dying.
	See?
	The government of Peru was complicit with the Western pharmaceutical control governments to deprive people of access to ivermectin as a form of medical murder.
	Yes, the doctors out there that deprive patients of access to ivermectin, you are murderers.
	You are mass killers.
	You should be criminally indicted and prosecuted, in my opinion, for withholding ivermectin from patients and thereby being complicit in their early death.
	You have a moral and professional responsibility to give patients access to the safest and most effective treatments that Regardless of what the lying genocidal government tells you,
	you have a duty as an individual doctor to know that ivermectin worked, to look at the research, and to prescribe it where it was efficacious and safe for patients.
	And had you done so as a doctor, you could have saved three out of four lives.
	From COVID deaths.
	But they didn't do that, did they?
	They murdered for profit as the hospitals raked in the bonus checks from the government that incentivized those hospitals with extra money for every death that was labeled COVID. Ivermectin, which only costs a few dollars a dose, Would have deprived those hospitals of hundreds of millions of dollars in the aggregate that they earned from patients dying.
	You should never trust a medical system that makes more money by killing patients than by keeping them alive.
	And that is how our Western medical system operates.
	And again, if any of you listening, if you're a doctor and you wonder why people don't trust you by default, that's why!
	Because your system makes more money by murdering people.
	And your system makes no money by keeping people alive.
	Think about that.
	That's why people don't trust you.
	Now, in fact, we're going to jump into the interview with Dr.
	Joseph Mercola now, which is really kind of a continuation of this discussion, because Dr.
	Mercola knows the truth about all of this, and we talk about this in great detail.
	This is a fascinating conversation.
	And I encourage you to listen and share this interview.
	I think you're really going to learn a lot.
	Now, I'm going to plug in just a little plug for healthrangerstore.com here on a couple of products that we have that are brand new that I think you'll really appreciate.
	It's like a one-minute ad or whatever.
	And then on the other side of that, it's the full interview with Dr.
	Joseph Mercola.
	Stay tuned.
	Alright, this is a big deal, folks.
	We now have available for the first time in our own brand at the Health Ranger store.
	We have N-acetylcysteine, or NAC as it's known.
	I've got some bottles here on my desk.
	You see the NAC and also chlorella tablets.
	Both of which support the body's natural detoxification processes, by the way.
	But N-acetylcysteine is so effective at supporting your body that, of course, Amazon has stopped selling it.
	It's very difficult to find, by the way, but we have it in stock.
	If you go to healthrangerstore.com, you can see we have it right here featured on the homepage.
	Maximum antioxidant protection.
	And if you find out, if you learn about NAC and what it achieves in the body...
	You'll know why Amazon doesn't want you to have it, by the way, because, you know, it's all tied to Bezos and that whole operation.
	But we do non-GMO, non-China, plant-based, made-in-the-USA, laboratory-tested for heavy metals, glyphosate, microbiology, and more.
	Check it out at healthrangerstore.com with many of our other natural immune-supporting and natural detoxification support products.
	Again, healthrangerstore.com, and we thank you for your support.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	And I got to say, someone that I've admired over many, many years, a very special guest is joining us today, Dr.
	Joseph Mercola, a true trailblazer in this space of health freedom and health education.
	He really set the tone for many years.
	He was really the first, and in many cases sometimes the only person out there kind of dominating the information space and teaching people about natural health and prevention.
	And I have no doubt that Dr. Mercola has saved or at least contributed to the saving of literally millions of lives over the years that he's been doing what he does.
	And he joins me now today to talk about how he has been harassed and deplatformed and financially blacklisted as an effort to try to silence him and to try to harm humanity because Dr. Mercola...
	Mercola is saving humanity.
	So, Dr.
	Joseph Mercola, welcome to the show.
	It's an honor to have you on, sir.
	Well, thank you for having me, Mike, and thank you for those kind words.
	I'm reminded of the efforts that I've invested over a quarter century in doing this work.
	When I go to events and conferences to speak at, I mean, that's one of my motivations to go there live and interact with the public because the feedback I get is just amazing.
	Invariably, many people come up to me and share their personal stories of how information I shared with them or educated or tidbits really saved themselves or a family member or radically changed their life, and it's just amazing.
	It's so heartwarming.
	It usually brings me to tears.
	Kind of like the harvest phase of my life now where you're sharing information for so long that it's had time to grow and now reap so many bountiful benefits.
	I think there's no question that your impact on the world You know, if we could visualize it, it would be like a positive healing shockwave that just got sent out all over the world and frankly pissed off a lot of people in positions of power, right?
	Which is kind of what we're talking about today.
	So I think our audience is probably familiar with the more recent news, but could you just walk us through it about what happened in Florida with JPMorgan Chase and, you know, I think Steve Rye and his family members and so on, the debanking that's just outrageous.
	Can you walk us through that, please?
	Sure.
	A few weeks ago, we received a letter to our business and actually the CEO of our company, Steve Rye, and our CFO, Amy Legaspi, who's both been with me for close to 20 years.
	The letter was from Chase stating that, They were giving us a month to take our funds out of their bank because we lost our accounts and they didn't give us a reason, even though subsequently we questioned them and they pushed them and they said they couldn't for privacy policy reasons or some lame excuse.
	But what's particularly egregious about this action is that it was not only directed at me, but my employees.
	I mean, they're key employees that run the company, but Just by association, which is sort of the primary characteristic of the social credit system that China deploys is that association is enough to cancel you out.
	So they had not only their personal accounts removed, eliminated, but that of their spouses and their children.
	Unreal.
	Their children.
	It's just shocking that they would do that, but they did.
	I mean, it's like, okay, your progeny is not allowed to bank here ever.
	I mean, what is this?
	And now, as I understand it, I mean, there are no allegations that you in any way violated any banking laws.
	You weren't laundering casino money or anything like that, right?
	You were selling nutritional products.
	Well, their ostensible claim or justification for this was that two years ago, we received a warning letter from the FDA for suggesting that vitamin D might be useful to treat COVID. So that was enough.
	How dare you?
	There was never a fine.
	There was never anything beyond that.
	They've never finalized any action against us other than giving a warning letter.
	So they use that as a weak, very weak justification for this action.
	But it's interesting.
	CISA was the – I forget what the – you probably remember what that acronym stands for.
	But they've had meetings in the past.
	It's a central intelligence agency and some type of IT infrastructure that the national government put together.
	And they had meetings with all these big players, mostly IT, and they had one financial institution there.
	You know where that institution was?
	That was Chase.
	Chase, yeah.
	So they're social media people, so they seem to be tied in with this whole effort, aligned and colluding with the government to implement their plans, clearly, which is… I mean, it's extraordinary what you're relating here, and I think when I covered this in my podcast, I said that I hope that you sue Chase for violating your civil rights.
	Now, I don't know if, I mean, we didn't pre-discuss this, but is there any possibility of taking civil action against Chase for this kind of discrimination?
	Well, it gets really good, and I'm sure you're familiar with the fact that once you initiate litigation, there's Quite significant costs involved.
	Typically, six figures frequently, sometimes seven to seven, maybe even eight.
	And that's a pretty significant price to bear.
	And typically in litigation, the only – unless you have some strategic objective, the only party that wins are the lawyers, the law firms, you know.
	So it gets really good in this case, though, because Florida, the state of Florida, passed a law in May of this year, 2023, forbidding this very type of discrimination in action by banks.
	Oh, wow.
	So we are going to be the test case.
	We've already worked with the Florida State Attorney General, and they are filing suit against Chase, and we'll be the test for this new law.
	Oh, wow.
	Okay, so that's the first I've heard of that.
	It doesn't cost us anything.
	That's amazing.
	I mean, did you previously announce this?
	I think we did.
	I know I've mentioned it on different podcasts, but I formally announced it in our newsletter.
	Well, this is huge, and it's very interesting.
	A little bit of inside baseball.
	We were scheduled to meet with the Texas Attorney General on the day that he was impeached.
	Or pulled out of office.
	Right.
	So they sent a message to him, don't you dare go against big pharma.
	In our case, it was about big tech censorship.
	So Texas was considering funding our lawsuit against big tech, which we are now funding ourselves instead.
	But kind of a similar situation, the state of Florida on your side, and you have a law to back it up now.
	Yeah.
	I'm not even sure if Chase was aware that the law existed.
	Chase is a huge institution, and the larger a company gets, the more likely it is that they're not aware of all the updates because there's too many darn moving parts.
	So it's very possible, but likely even probable, they weren't aware that this new law was even passed.
	Wow.
	Well, then we have to thank Governor DeSantis in that case and the Florida legislature and the fact that you are a resident of Florida, correct?
	I've been for over 10 years.
	You have standing?
	I mean, wow, this seems like an open and shut case.
	Please keep us posted because if this sets a precedent, I mean, this could be a game changer.
	Maybe it goes to the Supreme Court at some point and we get a SCOTUS ruling on this.
	Who knows?
	I don't know, but it's really good news for us.
	I mean...
	It's definitely a hassle factor, especially in light of the fact that our CFO, Amy, her husband has a terminal illness, and one of the symptoms is dementia.
	He requires 24-7 care in, I think, a hospital setting.
	So his Chase account was being used to fund this, and it was a real challenge for her.
	So it's just...
	It's just shockingly criminal behavior that they're implementing, but it's not surprising.
	It's sort of par for the game and in some ways even less Repugnant and offensive than many of the drug company actions that we've seen, especially with COVID. Jeez, killing all these people.
	They're killing people.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, it's genocide, in my opinion, what's going on.
	But, you know, stepping back a couple of decades, when you first started doing this, I think that was in the late 1990s?
	Is that correct?
	Yeah, 97, right.
	We started my site before Google started theirs.
	Okay, yeah, exactly.
	But...
	All throughout, I mean, even up through, you know, 2015, it seems, you and I and others, we could say almost anything we wanted to say at that time.
	And the internet wasn't censored, and you could find health information, which is key.
	I'm going to talk about it.
	I mentioned when we were on the podcast before we aired was, this is it.
	It is not only this...
	The platforming, but it's the censoring, it's the obliteration, the burning of the Library of Alexandria where all this valuable, hard-fought, hard-earned knowledge and information we've had that changed health and human lives.
	It is being essentially destroyed.
	It still technically exists, but unless you know the URL or someone that does, you are not going to find it because the search engines will not include it.
	I completely agree with you, and I've said that Google has become a disinformation engine and that the goal of Google, in my opinion, is to disconnect humanity from the knowledge that could save humanity.
	And they're doing really good.
	You know, I was just...
	We wrote an article on this just a few days ago.
	I think it comes out next week.
	As an example, we wrote the triple-plandemic of 2023.
	Put that in there.
	There are 41 million hits that came up.
	41 million.
	That's a lot, right?
	You think you could read deeply on this.
	Well, you put it in there, and using Google as a search, and you try to scroll down, you will not get past 100% That's all they're showing you.
	It is physically impossible to find anything else.
	100 links.
	That is it.
	Did you know that's the limit?
	You cannot go deeper than that.
	I didn't know that.
	They can easily control the top 100.
	So if they don't want something, you'll never see it on their search engine.
	And their search engine comprises a minimum of 93%, either directly or indirectly, and probably maybe 95% to 97% because virtually all alternative search engines uses their index.
	You know about that because you're an IT guy.
	You could explain it to your audience better than I can, but it's just extraordinary.
	It's extremely costly to run a spidering server farm that spiders the web and then indexes it and then returns meaningful search results.
	It's several hundred million dollars in infrastructure to do that well.
	We made some early attempts that got sidelined for various technical reasons.
	But There are some other engines out there that are trying to take a shot at it.
	But as you said, Google dominates that space and Google is in the disinformation business.
	And YouTube just announced new medical misinformation guidelines expanding that.
	So you're probably never going to be able to say even like vitamin C can help prevent scurvy or that vitamin D might prevent rickets.
	I mean, just the basics that used to be taught in medical school.
	You won't be able to state those things any longer.
	Yeah, it's just shocking.
	But there may be a workaround, and as you were explaining the IT infrastructure, it occurred to me that you would probably know the answer to this, with your deep knowledge of IT. I would think you'd be able to query the Internet without using Google.
	And if that's the case, then that actually is pretty good news because, of course, these large language models are out there, and I like ChatGPT as an example, but there are others like Chat from Android.
	I forget their company.
	But anyway, it would be a lot less expensive to do that and have them do the search so that they could have this infrastructure and database to essentially be an alternative to search engines.
	And even, you know, Google and certainly Microsoft and all the others are integrating them solidly into their existing search engine strategies to the point where the conventional search engine probably will not be around within a year or two, I would think.
	It's just going to be, you're going to ask it a question, it'll give you the answer.
	So I'm wondering what your thoughts are on these alternative large language models that could be put together and the funding I don't think would be hundreds of millions to do that.
	No, you're exactly right.
	We've looked into this quite a bit ourselves, and there are some really solid open source language models that can be used with quite a lot of processing power for the ingestion of all of the content.
	Dr. Mercola, which is that the AI systems only really regurgitate what they've been fed.
	So the goal of Google, in my opinion, and Wikipedia and whoever else, is to feed the pro-pharma anti-nutrition information into the AI systems so that that dominates the knowledge base of humanity from here forward.
	Like you said, they're erasing indigenous medicine.
	They're erasing traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, all these things, superfoods, nutrition, vibrational medicine, all of it.
	It's going to be erased from human existence except for those who tune in to alternative language models.
	And I agree with you, Joe, that I think an organization like yours or mine, for frankly just a few million dollars, we could build a natural health language oracle of sorts that you query and it brings you back knowledge based on the work of people like you.
	Thank you.
	And it's totally doable.
	I certainly have an important contribution, but there are hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of others who've done amazing work.
	People, my mentors, who taught me all these things.
	But the point is, it's out there.
	And it was getting better and better until 2015.
	Everything started to decline.
	They said, okay, we're putting the hammer down.
	You know, the good times are over.
	Well, I think they had to get the ignorance chapter ready for COVID, right?
	Because they, I mean, you and I, I think, both believe that this was all planned.
	They planned a pandemic, but they had to make sure that people could not find answers.
	And then they had to, you know, sideline ivermectin and dismiss vitamin D or zinc or anything else and push.
	They're murderous protocols in the hospitals and create more deaths than would otherwise happen in order to spread panic and fear and get compliance with the vaccines.
	I mean, that's what we just lived through.
	So it surprised me.
	When I was named number one, the disinformation doesn't list, and Bobby was number two, that you never even made the damn list.
	How could they leave you out?
	Or why do you think they left you out?
	It's obviously intentionally, because you were much bigger than most of the people on there and had made much more of a dent.
	My theory...
	No, I was a little surprised too, but my theory was that they had so successfully censored me and deplatformed me.
	That you weren't an issue.
	That I wasn't on Twitter.
	I wasn't on anything.
	I had already been dealt with in essence.
	In some ways, you know, because Alex interviewed me recently and he said, I'm so jealous.
	How come you got on and I didn't get on?
	Because Alex had a much larger audience than I did.
	But they already did the same thing to Alex.
	That's right.
	They just obliterated.
	They decimated him.
	No, it was, as I understand it, that list was really focused on who were the channels that were still on Twitter and Facebook.
	Okay.
	And I think you had been able to maintain more of a presence there.
	I think you were...
	And YouTube, too.
	And YouTube, exactly.
	Exactly.
	I think you're a lot more strategic in your communications, and I'm just like, I'm just going to say whatever I think.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's kind of like...
	In fact, we didn't get banned until YouTube until, you know, pretty far into the pandemic.
	Yeah.
	And it was only because we had no strike.
	We had not one single strike the entire COVID pandemic.
	They never gave us a strike.
	But what they did do is one day they just completely changed the rules.
	Completely.
	And they said, if you ever posted anything, not about COVID, but about anything that was anti-vax, you're out.
	Yeah.
	Which actually violates their terms of service, a total violation.
	So just actually a few weeks ago, we filed suit against them, and Bobby filed suit, too, because they did so—Bobby and I the same day, Bobby Kennedy.
	They just took us out with no warnings, and that totally violates their terms of service because they have to give you a notification and an opportunity to change your offense.
	Yes.
	But we have no offense other than they created a rule— That day.
	It was retroactively active.
	We might end up in the same lawsuit because we're also engaging right now with YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and Google.
	There's a two-year statute of limitations though.
	Because we filed it like a day before a statute expired.
	Yeah, but there are some interesting legal arguments for ongoing harm and re-harm.
	We actually were re-harmed by these platforms.
	They sent us emails.
	They made a mistake.
	They made a big strategic mistake sending us – YouTube did this.
	They sent us an email.
	They accidentally sort of reactivated us for a day, and then they re-banned us.
	So that restarted the clock on our stand.
	Oh, nice.
	Yeah, it was a big mistake on their part, but we jumped on it.
	But I want to bring up something that you mentioned earlier about your building a knowledge base of natural health information that you're going to be releasing.
	I'd like you to talk about it in a second.
	But, you know, it's going to come down to we the people to put out the information that the establishment is trying to utterly destroy from human history.
	So talk to us about your effort coming up.
	I know you're working on it right now to just kind of encapsulate Your many decades of research and communication about this.
	Well, I've been passionate about health my whole life.
	Literally, I think it started in the 60s.
	So we're coming up...
	This is the middle of my fifth decade now and exploring in my journey to learn more.
	And I've made a lot of missteps along the way.
	And a lot of things I started with, I totally reversed my focus...
	Not my focus, but my feelings about.
	So with this...
	Progressively increasing censorship, and as you mentioned and alluded to, the removal of basically all this information that we know is solid and true and will radically change your life and improve your ability to get off of or rely on pharmaceutical medications and address the foundational cause of what's causing your health challenge.
	But not only that, but how to Implement relatively simple, inexpensive strategies, things like sunlight.
	I've made a list.
	I want to have 50 modules.
	I'm viewing the whole course as a compilation of my life work.
	What is the core, the essence?
	You and I frequently lecture at events, and you go into lecture, and You talk for like an hour.
	Sometimes you get two.
	Maybe you get three hours.
	That's a rarity, of course.
	But even in a three-hour presentation, you're all – at least I find myself always struggling to share what I want to share because there's simply not enough time.
	But this gives me unlimited time, as much time as I need, to share the principles that people are going to take and use and really have as a safeguard as an emergency kit that they need.
	I mean, the censorship is getting progressively worse.
	It's obvious.
	Anyone who has any critical thinking skills left.
	And with that and the information not being available, I think there's also another risk that not many people talk about.
	You probably have, but there's a significant risk that actually the Internet may come down.
	So not only is it being censored, but we won't have access to the Internet.
	They'll have it under the guise of some What do they call them?
	The red flags?
	Not red flags.
	Like 9-11.
	What was that?
	What's the term for that?
	Well, I mean, I know...
	False flag.
	That's what it was.
	Oh, yeah.
	False flag operations.
	Yeah, sure.
	They can create something.
	It'll be a false flag event and they'll use it as justification to take the internet down or domestic terrorism and threat.
	So I think both you and I are domestic terrorists, in case you did.
	I don't know.
	I haven't checked recently, but I'm sure somebody's claiming that.
	Let me finish.
	Okay, yeah, go ahead.
	So, you know, I know this is coming.
	And in preparation for that, I feel this pressure to compile everything and put it out.
	So I've come.
	I basically I've written 17 books.
	Most all of them were bestsellers.
	But I decided and that's not a process I really enjoy.
	I decided to revector my effort they would normally put in writing a book to doing these modules, which will be videos of about typically at least an hour, sometimes maybe longer, two hours.
	And then that module will have an opportunity to ask questions that we compile and then, you know, that didn't we issues we didn't address.
	So there's some confusion on them.
	I could release a follow-up video to do that.
	And the beautiful thing about these video modules is that if some new development happens or some research is published, I can go in there and shoot an update.
	You can't do that with a book.
	You cannot do it.
	I can shoot an update and send an email to everyone and here's the change and what my new thinking is on this topic.
	So I'm really excited about that and we have to really put it behind a strategic It's a firewall of sorts, so it can't really be public.
	I do not want the Google crawlers on this thing.
	We're going to put it on our Substack site, and the Substack site is a subscription site.
	It provides some legal defenses too, which I had problems with before, as you well know.
	I took down all the content on my site and in the process of converting most all of it over to Substack.
	We made a good dent in it.
	Anyone who subscribes to my site can look at my old articles, but I said, I've got to make something better.
	My new book's going to be there, and it's going to be essentially, if you're subscribed to Cyber, it's free.
	Or if you're not, it's like $5 a month or $4 a month if you buy your subscription.
	So it's really, really affordable because, I mean, the content of this course, I mean, literally, I mean, you've seen and been involved with, I'm sure, many of these Docu-series courses.
	And if you buy those, it's hundreds of dollars.
	And for professional training, it's thousands, maybe $10,000.
	So it's literally going to be the quality of that caliber and probably even more information.
	So I'm really excited to bring this to the people who need it in an affordable format.
	Do you have a name for it yet?
	My team's working at what was Charm, which was...
	It's about increasing your resiliency.
	Crisis is a C. The M is mastery.
	R is resiliency.
	I don't know what the A is.
	I forgot what the A is.
	Crisis, something, resilience, mastery, of course.
	So essentially, preparation.
	I feel embarrassed that I didn't remember the name, but I didn't come up with the name, so my team did.
	That was pretty clever.
	Well, the only reason I ask is because we want to, I mean, please keep us posted about the status of this.
	I know our audience would be very interested.
	And, I mean, me too.
	I'd love to see what you have.
	And, you know, to encapsulate all of this in one place is going to be very powerful.
	Now, I'll share something with you about the structure of our information, what you and I are doing and others, and how to avoid the censorship that's coming.
	And I'm working a lot with a lot of people in the space of decentralization and peer-to-peer technology.
	Perfect.
	That's what we need.
	And I'll even say this.
	We have an internal plan now to take our whole platform, which is Brighteon, because right now it's a centralized platform.
	So is Substack, right?
	If Substack decided to take any of us down, they could do that.
	Just on a whim.
	Or if someone decides, like the military decides to take subsec out.
	Right, right, exactly.
	They could easily be a target.
	So I believe that the future of information freedom will be found in non-domain name systems that are decentralized and peer-to-peer where you can distribute information.
	And so we've, on the Cordal system, Q-O-R-T-A-L... Oh yeah, I'm familiar with Cordal.
	Portal.
	Portal, yeah.
	Sayer G clued me into them.
	Exactly.
	I talked to the founder.
	We've interviewed the founder a couple times.
	I'm not an investor or anything like that, but we did fund a version of Brighteon on Portal that's a video distribution system that's peer-to-peer and nothing can be censored.
	I found another one called Bastion, B-A-S-T-Y-O-N, which looks like Twitter.
	And I interviewed the founder, but it's actually a decentralized content distribution system where you run an app, and it just talks to other apps as nodes over TCP IP. Even if the State Department took down all the domain names, you could still use Bastion.
	Nice.
	And by the way, since this is not live, I'll just encourage you, you should reserve Mercola.
	On Bastion?
	On Bastion, yeah, exactly.
	It doesn't even cost anything.
	You just go on there, you reserve Mercola, you get a key, and that's it.
	And you can log in and you can post and distribute.
	There's another decentralized system, and we've actually reserved a domain on it.
	There's one called Noster.
	Have you ever heard of that one?
	No, I haven't heard of Noster, but I forget what it is.
	The problem is that you don't get all the functionality that you do on the regular web.
	That's right.
	You can't even form dynamic pages.
	There's a lot of limitations.
	Currently there are.
	It's better than nothing for sure, but it's – Almost like it has to be an emergency backup.
	Well, that's the way I look at these as an emergency broadcast channel, so that if they were to take down...
	Because the State Department takes down domain names all the time, usually related to counterfeiting Gucci bags or whatever, Rolex watches.
	But they can take down domain names.
	They can seize domains.
	If they were to seize yours or mine...
	An emergency channel could function in a peer-to-peer system.
	But I think long-term, we have to understand that the current Web 2.0 will never be allowed to be as free as it once was before 2015.
	Yeah, it's just obvious as can be if anyone's awake.
	So which one of those strategies do you think is the best bet at this point?
	Well, I say right now, use every peer-to-peer system.
	Get your channel name, your name running and start cross-posting there and encourage people to use those peer-to-peer systems.
	Because even like when I interview the founders and I ask them off camera as a test, can you ban this other channel or my channel or can you?
	Nope, can't do it.
	They can't even do it.
	And so even the Substack, I don't know who's going to own Substack five years from now.
	That's right.
	A hundred percent.
	I mean, maybe right now they can change in a heartbeat.
	Absolutely.
	No question about it.
	They're committed to it now and they've stood the test of time a few years, but it absolutely can change.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And also, at the same time, you and I never know what kind of threat or what kind of pressure is going to be applied to us to take down our domains or to stop doing what we're doing.
	So a system that allows other participants as well to have that redundancy, that resilience that you talk about in your course, is critical for human civilization, I believe.
	I couldn't agree more, which is why I'm...
	I feel so pressured and urgent, a sense of urgency to get this thing done because my course is absolutely 100% intended for people to download to their own personal hard drive.
	Yes.
	For this very reason.
	So you don't really need to be decentralized because they've got the information.
	They've got the information.
	And every month that goes by is less time that I have to share it with them.
	That's right.
	I'm feverishly around the clock.
	I mean, it's like full-time.
	I'm just working on this project because I feel this desperate pressure to preserve the information and make sure that most people benefit from it.
	Are you okay with people if they download that information and then they put it on a thumb drive and physically hand it to a friend or a family member?
	Is that okay?
	Absolutely.
	That's what it's for.
	Great, good, good.
	That's exactly what it's for.
	Because that's also decentralization.
	I mean, that's how a lot of dissidents in North Korea were able to get freedom information around is on, as we call it, sneaker net.
	Yeah, that was the original Ethernet.
	That's right.
	We both know.
	You have a floppy disk and you hand it to somebody and then they have, yeah.
	But did you ever imagine we'd be facing this, I mean, in America?
	That's a great question.
	Mike, I haven't reflected on it, but I'm not surprised.
	And actually, if I'm really honest, I am more surprised, really, that they let us go as long as they did.
	It was literally too good to be true, and I knew it.
	In the 90s, I knew it was too good to be true.
	You know, because I wasn't a big fan of the government or the military intelligence agencies.
	And of course, they both have deep connections to the founding of the Internet and the monitoring of it.
	And actually, you probably know this, but one of the original founders of Wikipedia was just interviewed by Glenn Greenwald.
	And goes into all the deep details about his military intelligence that is totally running that show.
	Absolutely.
	Wikipedia.
	Yeah, there's no such thing as fair editorial coverage on Wikipedia.
	It's all run by the deep state for their agenda.
	Sure.
	But, you know, we also see...
	Let me ask you a bigger question.
	We also see that the Deep State Empire or even the military-industrial complex, which I believe was also involved in the assassination of JFK, by the way.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	They are running...
	Out of time globally because of the de-dollarization right now.
	They weaponized the dollar with taking down SWIFT, and they alerted 100-plus countries to say the dollar can be weaponized against you and we can steal your money and our central banks.
	The ability to print money is what has been powering this system of oppression and censorship this entire time, and that ability may be running out.
	What do you think?
	Well, I'm sure you're really...
	more so than most people I know.
	And I'm not convinced that any single government is in control here.
	I think it's people that are that have been around for centuries, maybe thousands of years, these families that really are the true controllers of the world.
	Yes.
	The global cabal.
	So.
	Oh.
	It's not so much about the money.
	It's about the power and the control.
	Because they almost have all the assets.
	They've collected almost all the assets.
	There's not much more they can get.
	If the US goes out, it doesn't matter.
	It's part of their plan.
	The US is just a pawn anyway that they're using.
	I don't know.
	I think the key is just to Gain as much knowledge as you have.
	One of the modules I'm creating is, I think, the most essential skill in preparing for this coming crisis, because the crisis is coming.
	There is no doubt in your or my mind that it is coming.
	I don't know when it will be here, but it's coming.
	It's going to be far worse than COVID. That was just a trial.
	That was a test run, right?
	When it comes, we need to be prepared.
	We've got to have the most essential ingredient, and that is community.
	You are not going to survive this thing alone or do well.
	It's going to be miserable.
	You have to have a community where you're sharing knowledge and everyone has different skill sets and you help each other.
	That's going to be a key.
	There's obviously different ways to do it, but I think it's going to be next to impossible to do it in a big city.
	It's just not going to work.
	The infrastructure isn't there to support it, and the resources aren't there.
	So you've got to get out of the big cities, especially the blue cities in the north, primarily, that they're democratically controlled.
	But even in the south, I mean, there's a lot of blue cities like Miami in Florida, like Austin in Texas.
	Exactly.
	We're very much aware of that.
	And frankly, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston and San Antonio as well.
	Any big city, typically.
	Yeah.
	Can you elaborate more on what you're referring to when you're talking about the next crisis coming?
	You mean bioweapons, another pandemic, or even bigger than that?
	I don't think any – well, the global cabal knows what the next crisis is.
	We don't.
	I suspect we'll get a warning that they gave us with Event 201.
	You know, weeks or months before it happens just to prepare us.
	Give us a heads up because they like telling us what they're going to do.
	They do.
	But I don't know.
	It could be a bioweapon.
	It could be taking out the electrical grid.
	It could be aliens.
	I mean, things point towards making more sense towards the next bioweapon.
	But, you know, they tried to launch a new bioweapon with that monkeypox.
	It wasn't too successful.
	People are catching on to it.
	So, I don't know.
	But they're definitely coming up with something.
	And what is even more frightening is that they've got these very sophisticated large language models, which is a new step in their arsenal to really understand what are they good.
	I mean, I'm sure you use them all the time.
	It's almost like magic, how effective and how good these are.
	But they're going to use them nefariously.
	They're going to use them to understand and identify exactly the triggers that are going to initiate the maximum amount of fear and give them the maximum amount of control.
	So they've got that skill set now.
	So they didn't have that for COVID. They've got it for the next one.
	So it's going to be worse just for that fact alone.
	And they can also, I mean, you're 100% correct on everything you just said.
	And on top of that, remember, they can roll out now AI-generated influencers that look like real people, that talk like real people, and use the language models, and really are...
	Indiscernible from a human being.
	So if you think about it, it's not just that Google and YouTube want to suppress human knowledge.
	They want to suppress humans.
	And ultimately what they want is that the people of the world are just sitting back, consumers absorbing the propaganda that's pushed by 31 flavors of fake influencers who are AI puppets Regurgitating the scripts in different ways.
	Oh, here's a young teenage influencer telling you to get the vaccine.
	Oh, here's a senior citizen influencer.
	Here's a black influencer.
	Here's a Latino influencer in Espanol.
	But it's all the same message.
	You can see that coming as clear as day.
	Yeah, but I think that's an intermediate stage.
	The ultimate stage may be global slavery and tyranny.
	That's their end goal.
	They're going to get everyone under their control.
	And even maybe in concentration camps.
	That would not surprise me.
	I'm not saying that's the case.
	Or even worse, euthanasia, which is ultimately what happened in Germany.
	So it's very clear that that is a distinct possibility.
	Well, I completely agree.
	And again, it seems like they are determined to exterminate billions of human beings.
	And I happen to think they're going to succeed at some level, but not all the way.
	You know, there's a lot of pushback.
	And one of the things about COVID is that it did actually awaken a lot of people.
	I mean, think about it, Joe.
	You know, before COVID, if you or I had put out a video like, you know, watch out for vaccines, you know, it might be dangerous.
	I said that many times.
	Well, I know, but what I'm saying is that at that time, maybe only, you know, 2% of the population would have resonated with that message.
	But after COVID, it's like 60% of the population, you know?
	So COVID actually, in a sense, became an education awakening for people to not trust the authorities like the CDC and the FDA. Isn't that interesting?
	Yeah, it is.
	So I'm curious, because this is the big question on the plate during COVID, is what percent of the population...
	Is brainwashed irreversibly.
	Good question.
	Matthias Desmond obviously did a lot of work on that.
	And his psychology of totalitarianism was the book.
	A lot of people in our movement thought he was a controlled opposition.
	I know.
	It was just, come on.
	But they're just creating dissension within the people who understand this.
	But I'm wondering what your...
	What assessment is of the number of people who are irreversibly brainwashed and propagandized?
	Is it more than 50% or is it 30%?
	When you add the qualifier of irreversibly, that makes it tough.
	I would say it's less than 50%, is my guess, of irreversibly.
	But right now, I think more than 50% are in that brainwashing mode.
	So maybe a third of them are rescuable?
	Yeah, perhaps.
	Yeah, I could go with that number.
	But a lot of it depends on, of course, how much we win this fight for information freedom.
	Of which, you know, you're right here at the front lines, and many of us are, and funding the lawsuits and challenging, and, you know, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	as well, and Missouri versus Biden, a major case, you know, that's having huge impacts.
	If we are successful in striking down the government collusion with big tech, then we could actually restore the flow of truthful information to people, and we could reawaken a large percentage of the population.
	It's not too late yet.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's encouraging, you know, because you're really deep into the analysis and networking of this, so I appreciate your insights on it.
	Well, I may be wrong, Joe.
	Yeah, I know.
	We may be so far past the tipping point that we're all screwed.
	I mean, I don't know for sure.
	I doubt that's the case, but it could be.
	It could be.
	Anything's possible.
	But, you know, I think ultimately...
	leave and i'm basing my future actions on this and plans is that they if you just want to go up somewhere into a little small community that's out in the middle of nowhere you're going to be okay they're not going to come after you they'll just let you be but if you want to function in what we know as conventional society that's going to be it's going to be on their terms and you're not going to like those terms and you're going to be social you're going to be social credit credited You're going to control your finances.
	You think the wrong thought and they'll probably get to that point where they'll be able to read your thoughts.
	You're going to be penalized and maybe taken out of the system.
	So that day is coming.
	It's very clear.
	The technology exists in the not-too-distant future to do that.
	I think you've spoken on a very important point there, the technology, because with the AI systems being able to replace a lot of so-called white-collar workers in society today, and then, of course, the kinetic, robotic, humanoid systems being able to increasingly replace physical muscle and work.
	You can see a day where Amazon warehouses, they just fire all the human workers, or 99 out of 100, And they just leave, you know, one guy there to make sure the robots don't have an uprising or something.
	And it's just warehouse robots all day long.
	And then, you know, government workers or even, you know, university professors or what have you, it's just AI systems just spewing out the disinformation that's been collected.
	And then you have to ask the question, why do the globalists want humans to be around at all at that point?
	And they don't.
	Yeah, there's no need for them.
	Right.
	So that's why I think it's a pretty bleak future if you run the scenario through just looking at what happened and what's likely to.
	It doesn't look very good.
	That's why the impetus for this course to give people one of the most important tools is because whatever is coming, whatever the next crisis is, you need to be healthy.
	No question about it.
	And if you were following what I'm putting together, You wouldn't have probably even came down with a cold or a flu, let alone COVID, during the whole thing.
	And if you did, there's really simple, inexpensive, 100%, and I rarely say 100% safe strategies that would have obliterated almost instantly and cost pennies to do.
	So there are so many great strategies that are out there that can That can protect you and your family and help you take control of your health.
	And that's my absolute mission now is to get this information out to the public and then have it decentralized through the sneaker net.
	Yeah, maybe one day I'll be arrested for smuggling your course.
	I'll be in a parking lot trying to hand it over to somebody and, you know, the information police will show up.
	Do you have Mercola's band, you know, contraband?
	Oh, yes, you caught me.
	Yeah, that is a possibility, you know.
	It clearly is.
	Yeah, it is.
	And there's dystopian science fiction novels.
	I think that would be close to Fahrenheit 451.
	Yeah, very much so.
	But, you know, I'm so glad you're putting this together.
	I'm really a fan of your decades of knowledge and communication about this.
	And I'll just share this with you briefly.
	I recently had an experience that also taught me about the power of nutrition and healing.
	And I don't know if you know this, but this index finger right here, I almost lost it.
	I almost completely severed the finger.
	Oh, were we working on the farm?
	Yeah, it was a ranch accident.
	And I did not go to the ER. I did not get stitches.
	I stopped the intense bleeding.
	And I began on a nutritional course.
	And I severed the lateral ligaments.
	That is one of the indications for conventional medicine, though.
	They're really good at that stuff.
	Look, if I had broken the bone or severed the main ligament, I would have gone in for microsurgery.
	I would have done that.
	And I'm not telling anybody else what not to do, but I determined that I didn't have a broken bone, and I'd severed the lateral ligaments, which surgery really couldn't help me with.
	So I went on nutrition and superfoods, and I did lion's mane mushroom and all my normal things that I do and added some extra things.
	Did you do any collagen?
	Absolutely.
	Tons of collagen.
	Yeah, because that's what ligaments are made of, collagen.
	It's actually the third most common protein in your body, collagen.
	I did collagen.
	I did turmeric.
	It is the most common protein.
	30% of your protein is common.
	No, I've been on collagen ever since.
	And I've got to tell you, Dr.
	Mercola, in nine weeks, I had regrown the nerves and I had my feeling back on the fingertip.
	And by, I think, 10 or 11 weeks, I could fire a pistol again.
	Yeah, that's your...
	That's your right hand.
	It's a trigger finger, yeah.
	Sure.
	Right.
	But my point is that this was a reminder to me that what you teach and what I teach, it works.
	It absolutely works.
	100%.
	You're a tremendous example of that.
	Because your body wants to stay healthy.
	That's what it's designed to do.
	It was not designed to get sick and be fed some pharmaceutical medicine.
	Right.
	That absolutely wasn't the plan.
	Right.
	And let me add, too, I mean, not only did I get nerve feeling back, but now my nerves on the tip of my finger are more sensitive than before, by far.
	And the second point, which the doctor I eventually went to after five weeks, he couldn't believe, I had no pain.
	I had no pain during the entire healing process.
	Pain-free, nutrition-based healing.
	And it absolutely worked.
	Did you use bio-photons, like red light?
	I did.
	I did.
	I thought, yeah, I did.
	That's the only thing that makes sense, because you have to have red light to catalyze that product.
	I use, I think it was 808 nanometer wavelength.
	Yeah, perfect.
	Is what I use.
	That's near infrared, even better.
	That's near infrared.
	I use that daily, and I use the tuning fork.
	So I would, you know, hammer the tuning fork and put it on the joint, and it would just propagate all those, you know, ultrasonic frequencies as well through the structure.
	And that's how I healed it.
	Well, you could actually, it would be great.
	Why don't you...
	I'm open to guest modules, so we want to create a module on how to heal wounds that happen on the farm or the ranch.
	That's one of the things that we...
	Conventional medicine is exceptional.
	They're so good at addressing that.
	They're the best you can possibly hope for.
	And we can approximate it.
	We don't need all their craziness, but it's a good skill set.
	But we're going to need those types of interventions, those types of strategies, because it's inevitable.
	People fall down.
	They're going to get injured.
	So you need something to do.
	And it never occurred to me.
	That isn't in my current module set, but it should be, just for this very reason.
	So thank you.
	Well, I'd be happy to contribute that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Love to do that.
	You never ask to be injured to be reminded how well natural medicine works.
	I didn't ask to lose my finger.
	It's horrible.
	Think about going through life and it made me feel sorry for people who have lost limbs and veterans with injuries and people born with disabilities and so on.
	But it's not hopeless.
	There are things that go beyond what traditional medicine even thinks are possible.
	Absolutely.
	I mean, it's just literally miraculous if you're not familiar with it before.
	I don't know if you've heard of the biologist who passed away last year, Ray Peet.
	You might have.
	Have you heard of him before?
	No, I haven't.
	Oh, he's a very interesting guy.
	He was a high-carb guy, but totally iconoclast, you know, that just had these novel ideas, stood out against the crowd.
	And I thought he was wacko for three decades until, like, literally months before he died, then I finally understood what he was explaining.
	And I think he was right all along.
	So, you know, and it's just magical.
	Fundamentally, it's about optimizing mitochondrial function, and it's totally diametrically opposed to like high-fat, low-carb, keto world.
	Right.
	I mean, which works for some people initially, but long-term, that's a disaster.
	Yeah.
	So I'm seeking to share this information and just provide it with people so that they can use it.
	Because you're right.
	Once your body is energized, because you have to have fuel.
	You have to have the ATP, cellular energy to initiate these processes.
	if your mitochondria are impaired or Usually it's because you're just blasted with seed oils through the roof.
	That's the first step.
	You've got to get seed oils.
	Sun exposure is number one.
	Number two is getting seed oils out of your diet.
	Those are basically free.
	Those are the biggest movers that you can possibly have.
	Then walking and exercise.
	It doesn't cost anything, but if you've got these lifestyle strategies Exactly.
	Yeah, exactly.
	If you can eliminate, for example, the comorbidities that went along with so many people who were, in essence, murdered in the hospitals, if you don't bring those comorbidities in, you're so much better off from day one.
	You can deal with these things much better.
	Even the insults that were thrust upon people by the hospitals while depriving you of ivermectin.
	Ivermectin is a lifesaver.
	Well, Dr.
	Mercola, in kind of wrapping this up, number one, I'm really excited about this content that you're working on, and please keep us posted.
	We'd love to help promote that.
	I will, absolutely.
	And secondly, let me remind the audience to visit your website, Mercola.com, which I have up on my screen right now, Mercola.com.
	I think most of our audience is familiar with your site to begin with.
	And then, let me just say, look, I'm honored to be To know you all these years and to know your work and your passion for what you do.
	And I just want to thank you on behalf of humanity for having the courage to keep doing what you're doing.
	You're really a gem for the human race.
	That's not an exaggeration.
	I'm not asking you for anything.
	I'm just saying.
	I just want to acknowledge who you are and what you've done for this world.
	Well, thank you.
	It's my mission.
	It's amazing when you have...
	Really, no altera motives other than to help people, the amazing things that you can do.
	It's just shocking, really.
	And I'm constantly surprised.
	So thank you for those kind words.
	And you've been a real pioneer and stalwart in spreading the truth and helping inform people.
	Well, they still have a chance to do something.
	So thanks for all your hard work and efforts in this area, too.
	Well, absolutely.
	And I think that I'm focused a lot on technology to help empower other voices also.
	And you're putting out new content that's going to be life-saving content.
	I'm going to definitely make a copy for my family and friends and make sure everybody's got a hard copy of that once you come out with that.
	Perfect.
	In the meantime, keep in touch and consider us a resource.
	We're on Team Humanity, so whatever we can do to help you, let me know.
	Absolutely.
	And it's a small team, actually, compared to who we're opposed to.
	It's literally David versus Goliath.
	No question about it.
	Well, God bless you, Dr.
	Mercola, and thank you for joining me today.
	Alright, thank you.
	Well, there you go, the interview with Dr.
	Joseph Mercola, folks.
	Feel free to repost this interview on other platforms and share it with everybody that you can, even though, of course, Brighton links are currently banned on Twitter.
	But this will also be posted on Rumble and other platforms, so you can share those links more easily.
	Visit Mercola.com to check out Dr.
	Joseph Mercola's content, and we will keep you posted as well about his upcoming content that I'm personally very excited to hear about that.
	I can't wait to see that come out.
	Again, this man has done decades of research and work to attempt to just benefit humanity, and he deserves massive credit for this.
	In fact, in terms of history, Dr.
	Joseph Mercola deserves some real recognition.
	He deserves an apology from this current administration, as probably we all do, but Dr.
	Mercola, if I could nominate him for, you know, like a Congressional Medal of Freedom or something, that would be my vote because of the work that he's done and the impact that he's had on humanity.
	And we are all in the same boat here right now.
	Team humanity trying to help people, trying to end human suffering and help people enjoy life in a more healthful, mindful way with less suffering, more abundance, happiness, joy, and human capabilities and everything that goes along with that.
	Innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, you name it.
	So that is what people like Dr.
	Joseph Mercola is working to support through nutrition, health, and wellness, and so much more.
	So thank you for watching today.
	I'm Mike Adams, of course, the founder of Brighteon.com and the publisher of NaturalNews.com, which also shares those same goals.
	Thank you for watching today.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
