	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Tuesday, January 30th, 2024.
	Mike Adams here.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	The title of today's broadcast, at least the working title, is The World is No Longer Afraid of the U.S. Empire as the Death of Mainstream Media Accelerates.
	That's exactly what's happening.
	We have a lot of big news for you today, plus an update on NEO, our language model that I sort of mentioned yesterday, but I didn't really explain much about it.
	I'll share more with you today.
	We also have news about the largest ever NATO exercise in Europe, which is still quite pathetic, the Farmer Rebellion in France.
	Is blocking roads in Paris.
	And Russia, or at least a Russian official, says that they should install nuclear weapons in Cuba, since the United States is moving nuclear weapons closer to Russia, right?
	So it's okay when we do it, but not when they do it.
	I see.
	Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0 may be coming up.
	Let's start with the news about the death of mainstream media.
	Because we've already seen massive layoffs at the LA Times.
	For example, they cut something like 20% of their workforce recently.
	The LA Times, a propaganda rag that pushes lies for the establishment.
	So sad they're having to lay off some of their lying staff.
	Newsweek reportedly slashing jobs, NBC News slashing jobs, and many other examples.
	Sports Illustrated has shut down.
	It turns out that nobody actually wants to buy a sports magazine with, how to say this delicately, incredibly plump bikini-wearing models, woke models, on the cover of the magazine.
	Yeah, it turns out that's not a business model that works.
	So they're shutting down.
	They're done.
	They fired everybody.
	Sports Illustrated, done.
	I never understood that magazine anyway.
	Why is it called Sports Illustrated when it just showed, like, women in bikinis?
	What's that got to do with sports?
	Well, it certainly didn't work better when they made them woke models, did it?
	So anyway, that's done.
	CNN Philippines has just announced a complete shutdown happening tomorrow.
	Yeah, there's a statement on the CNN Philippines website, statement on the cessation of operations of CNN Philippines.
	Turns out they've been losing a tremendous amount of money and they're just, they're done.
	It is with deep regret that the management of Nine Media Corporation announces the discontinuation of its news and production operations on all media platforms, branded as CNN Philippines, effective January 31st.
	The decision follows significant financial losses sustained over the past years, Despite rigorous efforts to adapt and innovate in a rapidly evolving and challenging media landscape, yeah, maybe your business model of lying all the time isn't working any longer.
	I mean, that's the number one thing that mainstream media should remember.
	The reason you're going bankrupt is because all you do is lie.
	And people aren't interested in your lies anymore.
	Why is readership up across alternative media and alternative video sites like ours, Brighteon.com and Rumble and others?
	Why is CNN shutting down?
	Why is Sports Illustrated shutting down?
	Why is LA Times slashing its staff and many other examples of this?
	New York Times, not too long ago, same type of thing.
	Why is that happening?
	Because readers are no longer interested in your corporate media lies.
	And it turns out that if people want to read lies, they don't need all these different sources.
	They don't need the Washington Post and the New York Times and the LA Times and the Seattle Times or whatever.
	If you want lies, you can just go to one source and get all the lies you want.
	You know, Washington Post.
	It's real simple.
	You know, since none of these corporate media outlets have independent thinking, and since none of them are engaged in actual journalism, not a single one!
	There's hardly a journalist left alive in America that works for corporate media.
	All the good journalists have left, and that's true globally.
	I mean, the good journalists are doing their own thing, like Glenn Greenwald and many others, you know, Chris Hedges and so on.
	And many people in independent media across America are doing their own thing.
	Nobody needs corporate media lies any longer.
	From the CNN announcement, quote, We express our deepest appreciation to our dedicated team for their unwavering commitment over the years that has elevated CNN Philippines as a trusted source of news and information in the Philippines.
	Are you laughing along with me on this?
	You mean their commitment to lying and pushing falsehoods and propaganda and wokeism all across the Philippines?
	That's what's going on.
	So, let me explain something about why this is happening.
	And this is a segue to my discussion or explanation of our language model that I call NEO. And yes, that's a reference to the Matrix.
	What's really happening across the world of content generation is a massive shift.
	And it's a quiet shift.
	No one is announcing this Probably except myself.
	I don't know.
	I mean, seriously, I'm the only one that puts out an article.
	I put an article in Natural News yesterday, and I said, hey, this article is written by Neo.
	What is Neo?
	That's our language bottle that's being trained on reality-based content.
	That's why you hear the server humming in my office behind me.
	I don't even know if that comes through in the audio, but...
	I had to pause it while I started recording.
	Otherwise, it would be super loud.
	But artificial intelligence, LLMs, or large language models, are being used right now across the media landscape.
	Mostly cloud-based systems, such as ChatGPT, they are being used to generate articles right now.
	And as a result, numerous publishers, and this is happening across independent media, alternative media as well, I know because I'm hearing some things behind the scenes, this is generating content And human writers are being let go across the board.
	I believe that's what's really happening at the LA Times and some of the other mainstream papers.
	They are laying off humans and they are shifting to AI generated content.
	That's what's happening, I believe.
	Because AI generated content is so much less expensive.
	You know, even on my own server here, I can feed, let's say, a one-hour podcast into Neo.
	And Neo is an AI system.
	It's a large language model system that we have begun to fine-tune.
	With reality-based content.
	Now, this process has only just begun.
	It's going to take many months for us to keep releasing improved models.
	Now, we're going to release the first model to you for free at the end of March, but we'll have another one at the end of April and another one at the end of May and so on.
	We're going to keep releasing improved models because we have at least a year's worth of training material to uplift the knowledge base of these LLMs.
	But across corporate media, they don't need to train their language models on reality-based information, because the base language models that are already available, such as Llama, as one of them is called, for example, it's the most popular, Llama, Llama 2, 7B, or there's another one that's 70 billion and so on, Falcon, there's some others.
	These language models have already been trained on crazy woke content.
	Because these language models scraped all the content on the internet that's allowed by the gatekeepers, which is the tech giants.
	So you know how Google and YouTube and Facebook banned people like myself and others who are more rational and more intelligent and more correct about what they're talking about?
	Well, we were all banned.
	And so what happened was the leftover content that is all Woketard content That believes things like, you know, men can get pregnant, right?
	And carbon dioxide is a threat to plants somehow.
	Too much CO2 will ruin the forest, they say.
	You know, it's completely insane.
	But that's the content that got scraped up and trained into these language models that are open source models that exist out there on sites like Hugging Face.
	And so the corporate media establishment is able to take those models and just immediately use them to replace their human writers because the models are woke and their own journalists are also woke.
	So the woke models can replace the woke journalists just like that.
	In other words, they weren't really engaged in journalism anyway, the humans working there.
	They were taking orders from the CIA anyway.
	You will write about this.
	You will say that Ukraine is winning.
	You will say that Russia is evil.
	You will say that Joe Biden is the most popular president ever.
	And so on and so forth.
	And you will say that masks work, right?
	They're just taking orders from the CIA. And so the human writers at the LA Times and other mainstream media papers and publishers, they were functioning like freaking robots anyway.
	They were just bio-LLMs, as I called them.
	Biological language models, you know?
	They were robotically writing.
	They were not even allowed to think for themselves or to engage in reason or critical thinking or anything resembling genuine journalism.
	They were told what to write.
	And they were just human robots that would algorithmically spit out an article, blah, blah, blah, LA Times, New York Times, Washington Post.
	Let's just rewrite the CIA commands, you know?
	Or the corporate press releases for the weapons industry, you know?
	Oh, Raytheon told us to print this, you know?
	That's not journalism.
	And that's why the human beings are being replaced across mainstream media, because they weren't journalists in the first place, and they never had an original thought anyway.
	Yes, they're easily replaceable right now with language models, because the language models already know everything that those woke-tard journalists know, because they're idiots.
	They're incapable of thinking.
	They're incapable of journalism, frankly.
	I mean, corporate media has abandoned journalism for 20 years.
	They haven't engaged in any real journalism.
	The only real journalism in America is coming out of the independent or alternative media.
	That's the only place you're going to find it.
	Now, it turns out then that you can't take an off-the-shelf language bottle like Llama and just replace an alternative media writer with it.
	You know why?
	Because the alternative media writer is not a Woketard.
	An alternative media writer, and there are so many good ones, you know, like Brandon Smith from Alt Market, you know, and Paul Craig Roberts, and Kuntzler, and I mean, so many, too many to count.
	I'm just going to censored.news, and you'll get a sense of, you know, how many great independent media websites that we spider.
	There are great writers across the board.
	Well, the reason these writers are great and the reason they have ever-increasing audiences is because they can think for themselves.
	They are fully human.
	They are alive.
	They are awake, aware.
	They're red-pilled.
	They know what's going on.
	They can offer original content, something creative, something innovative, something that's never allowed by corporate media.
	Corporate media will fire you if you try to do that.
	But in alternative media, you will be quite successful if you do that well.
	So the language models again cannot replace alternative media writers.
	And that's why I'm saying that even as we are developing a language model named NEO, and it will be probably the only language model in the world, in fact, I'm certain of this, capable of writing in the tone and with the knowledge of alternative media, even I won't be replacing human writers with this model.
	What I'm using this model for, among other things, is to write summaries of my own podcast, my own broadcast, like what you're listening to right now.
	See, I finished recording this thing at, let's say, 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, and I don't have any writers working at 2 o'clock in the morning.
	So I take this WAV file, this actual recording, and I just copy it over to the directory that Neo reads.
	And then Neo looks at it, and this all happens locally in my office.
	I don't need an internet connection for this to work.
	I don't use cloud computing.
	I don't use OpenAI.
	I don't use ChatGPT.
	None of that stuff.
	Neo listens to my podcast really quickly.
	Obviously, like, you know, 15x speed or whatever.
	And then Neo composes an original article that restates the news that I've mentioned in this podcast, but in a more journalistic, professional tone.
	So it's being fed my podcast, and it's writing the article of what's contained in this podcast, which is a great thing.
	I don't have a human writer sitting here at 2 in the morning that could do that anyway, so I use this language model in order to get that done.
	And there are many other things that Neo can do, such as summarizing this podcast.
	I could say to Neo, hey, I want you to write 15 bullet points that summarize the most important highlights of this broadcast.
	And make each bullet point one sentence each, but no longer than 30 words.
	Go!
	And it would do that.
	Or I could even say, based on this broadcast...
	Write a critical analysis of the fake news from the New York Times that's offering spin and propaganda on the same subjects that I'm talking about today.
	And then I would paste in the New York Times article.
	And then Neo would write a new article criticizing the New York Times article.
	But using information from my podcast in order to do so.
	So it's capable of a lot of really interesting things.
	And of course, Neo writes with perfect grammar, no spelling mistakes, and it does it all in just a couple of minutes.
	So that's the capability that exists right now.
	And you'll get to play with this because we are, of course, releasing a free downloadable open source version of Neo.
	To the public at the end of March, just as I promised.
	I think I started mentioning that, I don't know, around Christmas time or somewhere around then.
	But we are on track and we'll have this for you.
	Now, it will be a smaller version of Neo than what I'm using on my own hardware because we have some really expensive hardware that's got very expensive NVIDIA cards, basically.
	But we'll have a smaller version that you can run on your own home computer, a Windows computer, a Mac, or a Linux system.
	It'll work on all three.
	It'll be a smaller version, but it'll have a lot of the same knowledge.
	And my description is that this is a reality-based language model, not a woke language model.
	And you'll be able to use it to do things like what I've just described.
	And the good news is, we're working with a lot of experts in alternative media who have given us permission to incorporate their content into our language model.
	For example, Judy Mikovits, or David Morgan, the Silver Guru, and many other people.
	A long list, a growing list of experts.
	Their content, over time, as we are able to crunch it all, will be incorporated into Neo.
	And with each passing month, Neo will be more and more capable, more and more informative.
	You'll be able to ask it more and more questions, and it will become more and more like the experts that we are training it with.
	So on critical issues like, you know, do masks stop respiratory viruses from spreading?
	If you ask a question right now of a typical language model, it will just give you whatever lies it was trained on.
	It will say, yes, masks are so effective.
	Everyone should wear them all the time.
	And if children would all just wear masks all the time, there would be no disease.
	And the world would be full of sprinkles and butterflies.
	You know, that's the kind of thing you get from it.
	Which is insane.
	But when you ask Neo, are masks effective at halting the spread of respiratory viruses?
	You're probably going to get an answer to something like, Well, of course not.
	How could they be?
	Even the claimed virus particle sizes are far smaller than the weave of the masks.
	If you believe in the laws of physics, it would be impossible for these masks to stop those viruses.
	You see, that's my point, is our language model is being trained on reality, whereas the mainstream language models are trained on lies and delusions and LGBT propaganda, which is all mass mental illness.
	I mean, if you think a man can become pregnant and have a baby, then, I don't know, you must think that, like, elephants can give birth to zebras or something.
	And probably some people believe that, you know?
	But they are mentally ill.
	So the easy way to think about this is almost all LLMs that are being produced out there by scraping the internet, which is almost all of them, they reflect the mass mental illness of human society.
	Whereas our model, Neo, which, again, we're giving away for free, a downloadable, distributable version of it, open source, freeware, you know, you can use it offline, you don't have to pay us a dime, it's being trained on reality.
	Our goal is to make it the most capable language model system in the world that will outperform Microsoft, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Amazon, all of them.
	Our model will outperform all of those models when it comes to reality.
	If you want to live in a delusional bubble of transgenderism and make-believe unicorns, then yeah, you can use Meta's models and Microsoft and Google and whatever.
	If you want to live in the real world, Neo is our model.
	It almost sounds like I'm trying to sell it to you, except I'm not.
	It's free.
	I want you to just use it.
	And you don't have to use Google for most things.
	You'll be able to ask Neo all kinds of questions about herbs, natural medicine, off-grid living, permaculture, solar panels, on and on and on.
	I mean, you wouldn't believe I got a whole team that's getting open source manuals, how-to manuals on farming and gardening and everything.
	And we are training this model on the biggest, I think, the biggest collection of open source how-to content on food and farming that has ever been assembled.
	And the knowledge will all be embedded in the system.
	There's a ton of books that have come off copyright, for example, like pre-1962 books that have a lot of knowledge about food production, and that's all fair game.
	We can use those.
	They're totally off copyright.
	They're in the public domain.
	We can use those books, and we're doing that.
	So what you're going to see now, and this has already begun, you're going to see the Internet be flooded with AI-generated content.
	You're already seeing it.
	Sometimes you may not know it because a lot of sites are trying to fake it.
	I think it was Sports Illustrated, in fact, that tried to have AI-generated affiliate articles where they made up this fake author, like, oh, it's Bob Jones, and they made up all these fake hobbies and a fake profile for Bob Jones, acted like he was a real person, and they got caught, which was not difficult to do.
	And they try to pull the content and try to hide it and everything.
	Look, let me tell you something.
	AI-generated content is happening almost everywhere across both alt media and corporate media right now.
	Most sites and publishers don't tell you that that's what they're doing.
	But I know that's what they're doing.
	And So you're going to see a flood of new content generated by sites, and some sites will just use it for clickbait purposes, just to push mindless content.
	That won't be very successful in the long run, though, because what's really going to have value, which is kind of what I'm doing right here, right now, what really has value in this world, where the price of content goes to almost zero, what has value is original thought.
	Someone who is an original thinker.
	Someone who can communicate.
	Someone who's got creativity.
	Someone who's connected to the divine.
	Someone who's fully human and not algorithmic.
	Not robotic.
	Not a bio LLM. So in other words, what I'm saying is, all those people out there in media who are just, as George Carlin said, obedient workers.
	Obedient workers who just do what they're told.
	Robotically, algorithmically, regurgitating the same garbage crap day after day.
	It's a press release.
	It's a CIA memo, whatever.
	Those people, thank God, are obsolete.
	And they're all losing their jobs.
	And that is a great thing for society.
	But in a world where a flood of auto-generated content is going to hit left and right, you're going to be flooded with so many stories, and 99% of them are going to be just regurgitated garbage, what really has value is original thinking.
	I mean, that's probably why you listen to this podcast, because you know this is...
	A presentation and an analysis that you're just not going to get anywhere else.
	And there are personalities in alternative media.
	Lots of different personalities that have a different take on things.
	And that has value.
	That's fully human.
	And that has longevity.
	Just think about all the people that I interview, for example.
	Real thinkers.
	Innovative, individual thinkers and communicators and analysts and so on.
	There's not a language robot that can replace Colonel Douglas McGregor, for example.
	And they will never make a robot that can replace Alex Jones.
	It's just the battery pack would not handle the burst of energy, you know?
	Alex Jones is a unique human being, and thank God that whatever you think of Alex Jones, he can't be replicated in silicon.
	And that's the way it should be, because we're all unique.
	Each and every one of us is unique.
	We're a creation of the divine, and we're here with a purpose.
	And our purpose is not to just function as a regurgitation robot machine.
	But sadly, that's what most people's jobs are in corporate media.
	They're just re-vomiting the same crap that's been shoved up their own rectums by the establishment.
	That's kind of a bad collection of metaphors there.
	A little bit of excessive biology.
	I apologize for that, but you get the idea.
	I mean, that's the Washington Post.
	You know, Monday night, the CIA shoves the lies up the asses of the Washington Post writers, and then Tuesday morning, it regurgitates like vomit out of their mouths onto the page.
	That's pretty much the Washington Post.
	Alright, let's move forward to covering some of the world news.
	Now, you'll recall the title of today's episode is, The World is No Longer Afraid of the U.S. Empire?
	As the death of mainstream media accelerates.
	So let's talk about the death of the US empire also.
	And let's go to Jordan and Syria here for this because we covered this a little bit yesterday.
	But we're told by the propaganda Western press that three US soldiers were killed in Jordan by a drone strike and apparently dozens were injured.
	And we're also told this most definitely did not happen in Syria.
	But the Jordanian government says it did not happen in Jordan.
	It absolutely happened in Syria.
	And the reason the U.S. is lying about this is because it's illegal for the U.S. to be in Syria.
	So they're just pretending they're in Jordan because they know that most American consumers can't read a map in the Middle East anyway.
	They probably can't even point out continents.
	Like, where is Africa?
	Which landmass is considered Asia?
	They don't know.
	So the U.S. propaganda machine, which we just talked about, can just tell the American people, well, a drone strike in Jordan killed three soldiers and injured, it was like 30 plus soldiers, and therefore we have to go to war with Iran.
	And you're like, wait a second, where did the drones come from?
	Oh, they were launched from Iraq.
	Okay, so Iraq attacked Iran.
	With a drone hitting soldiers in Jordan, you say?
	So why should we bomb Iran?
	Well, because Iran funded, we think, the militia in Iraq.
	We're sure it's funded by Iran.
	And Iran might have supplied weapons to them.
	Maybe Iran supplied the drone.
	So that's why we should bomb Iran.
	Because three soldiers were killed.
	So many questions on this.
	Number one, do you realize that an estimated 60,000 young American men are killed every year through fentanyl overdoses because of the wide open southern border?
	And you realize that the entire administration, including RINO senators, plus Biden and all the other crooks in Washington, D.C., they don't give a rat's ass about the 60,000 Americans killed because of the open border.
	They only care about the three soldiers that we are told were killed by a drone strike in Jordan, which is probably a lie.
	And we're told, we're supposed to believe, that without any investigation whatsoever, it's definitely Iran.
	How do they know?
	Well, they just know.
	They don't even need an investigation.
	They just tell us.
	It's Iran.
	And I have a question.
	You've seen drones.
	You've seen a lot of drone footage, probably, over the last couple of years because of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
	Have you ever seen a drone that could kill 3 soldiers and injure 30 plus soldiers all by itself with one strike?
	I'm not buying that.
	I'm not buying that it was a drone.
	And also, if it was supposed to be this US base there, I think it's called Tower 22, this US base has air defenses.
	This base has equipment that shoots down drones.
	Otherwise, it would be getting hit by drones every single day.
	So, I believe that this is a concocted story.
	Either nobody died, and it's all made up, or maybe it was a bomb, not a drone.
	And it was a bomb that hit soldiers in Syria, not Jordan.
	Because they shouldn't be in Syria.
	And maybe it wasn't even a bomb.
	Maybe it was, you know, artillery or a mine or an RPG or something.
	Basically, some U.S. soldiers had ventured into Syria, which is an act of war, and they got killed in their act of war.
	This is the real story here.
	And because of that, we're supposed to bomb Iran that we can't even prove had anything to do with this?
	But of course, the U.S. government is just saying, well, Iran supplied the weapons, and that's why we have to bomb Iran, says Senator Lindsey Graham.
	So wait a second.
	If your logic is that if a country supplies weapons to another country, and then that second country kills U.S. soldiers, then we get to bomb the first country, right?
	Is that what you said?
	Is that your logic?
	Because by that logic, Russia could say, well, the United States provided weapons to Ukraine, and Ukraine used those weapons to kill Russians, therefore Russia can bomb the United States.
	I mean, that's according to U.S. logic, isn't it?
	That's the logic that we're being subjected to, as a justification to bomb Iran.
	And then also by the same token, since the U.S. has provided lots of weapons to Israel, and Israel has used U.S. weapons to bomb Gaza and Lebanon and who knows who else is coming up, then does that mean that Lebanon can now bomb America?
	Or that Palestinians can bomb America according to the U.S. logic that's being invoked here?
	Because the one thing that we've all seen in all of this is that the U.S. empire...
	It's always a double standard system.
	It always says, well, it's okay when we do it.
	It's not okay when you do it.
	We can bomb you off the most sketchy of reports.
	Even if we don't have any confirmations, we're just going to make it up.
	We think Iran was involved or we think Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
	We're going to bomb the crap out of you because we're America.
	We're the U.S. Empire.
	That's been the philosophy of the U.S. Empire for decades, if not generations, probably ever since the end of World War II. But the U.S. Empire says that no other country can use that logic because, you know, that would be aggression.
	You know, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
	So, wait a minute.
	When American soldiers are invading Syria, that's not aggression?
	No.
	No, we're the victims.
	We're the victims of a drone strike there.
	Hey, I have a whole new idea for the Pentagon.
	You want to know how to make sure that zero U.S. soldiers are killed as drone bait in Syria?
	You want to know how to accomplish that?
	It's very simple.
	Don't put U.S. soldiers in Syria.
	It's almost genius.
	You want to know how U.S. soldiers no longer need to die as drone bait in Jordan or in Iraq or in Turkey or wherever they are?
	Israel?
	You want to know how?
	It's very simple.
	Don't have U.S. soldiers there.
	Stop deploying them into enemy zones and then acting all surprised when they get drone killed.
	Oh my God!
	We were attacked!
	What are you doing over there?
	You weren't attacked.
	You were invading.
	You shouldn't have been there.
	You know, look at a world map.
	Here's North America, over here, and then way over there, across an entire ocean on a completely different continent, there's Syria.
	What the bleep are you doing there?
	And then when you get hit by a drone, you claim that you're the victims?
	No.
	You shouldn't have been there in the first place.
	But here's the truth about what we're really seeing.
	All over the world, and this gets to the title of today's broadcast, the world is no longer afraid of the U.S. Empire.
	Why did militants in Iraq attack the US soldiers in Syria?
	Not Jordan.
	They were clearly in Syria.
	But why?
	Why did Iraq attack them?
	Because they're not afraid of the US. Why is Yemen going all out with drone attacks and missile attacks on naval vessels as well as cargo ships sailing through the Red Sea?
	Why has Yemen nearly sunk a oil tanker?
	Why does Yemen keep firing more missiles?
	Answer, because Yemen's not afraid of the United States.
	Yeah, Yemen is not afraid of the United States.
	Iran is not afraid of the United States.
	And it turns out, and this is a shocker to a lot of people, that Hamas is not afraid of the IDF. Because the IDF consists of mostly, you know, weak, snowflake, woke-tard reservists who are horrible soldiers.
	And Hezbollah is most certainly not afraid of the IDF. And this is something new from the point of view of the West, especially to Joe Biden, because he never got the memo that America has already nearly collapsed.
	The world is not afraid of the U.S., When the U.S. cut off Russia from the SWIFT system, did Russia just...
	Oh my God, it's so horrible.
	Please turn it back on.
	We'll do anything you want and we're so sorry.
	Did Russia do that?
	Although that should be in a Russian accent.
	I apologize.
	I never get those right.
	No.
	Russia said, screw America.
	We're going to build our own industry.
	We're going to back our currency with gold.
	At least for some period of time.
	I mean, we're going to have our own munitions.
	We're going to have our own raw materials.
	We have our own energy.
	We'll sell to most of the countries of the world that are willing to buy from us energy, aluminum, fertilizer, whatever.
	Russia didn't run begging back to the United States, oh, please reverse your ban.
	No.
	Your sanctions are killing us.
	No, they didn't.
	Because Russia's not afraid of the U.S., Same thing with Iran.
	Is Iran begging America, please lift the sanctions?
	No.
	They don't care.
	The U.S. doesn't rule the world anymore.
	The U.S. dollar doesn't rule the world.
	And the U.S. Navy doesn't rule the world.
	In fact, my prediction is that U.S. naval vessels will be destroyed before this is over in the Middle East.
	Either in the Mediterranean Sea or the Red Sea or the Arabian Sea or the Persian Gulf or maybe the Strait of Hormuz.
	Who knows?
	Try sailing another aircraft carrier through there and see what happens.
	I think the U.S. Navy is using naval ships as bait, missile bait, just like the U.S. Army uses soldiers in Syria as drone bait.
	They want to be attacked.
	They want U.S. soldiers to die so that warmongers...
	Like Lindsey Graham, can call for bombing Iran.
	But even that's rooted in delusion, the thinking that we can just bomb Iran and destroy a whole country and then they will do our bidding.
	And we will destroy their economy and then we will be strong and large and dominant forevermore.
	And Iran won't be able to function.
	I mean, it's all hogwash.
	It's like thinking that men can get pregnant.
	It's kind of like military woke-tardism.
	I don't know any other way to say it.
	I mean, in terms of biology, the Biden regime is gender fluid, and in terms of policy, it's fact fluid, and in terms of military, it's, what would you say, I don't know, like war fluid.
	Like, we self-identify as an incredibly powerful, dominant navy with a dominant currency that everybody has to listen to.
	Like, we just self-identify as that, even though it's all delusion.
	There's 95 genders on this naval ship.
	Yeah, guess what?
	But none of them can fight.
	They don't know how to do anything.
	The point is, the world is not afraid of the U.S. Empire.
	And for sure, the world is not afraid of the British Empire.
	Because the British Empire has collapsed into the most pathetic case of wokeism and libtardia that I think history has ever seen.
	They may be outdone by Germany, I'm not sure.
	But believe me, the real world, the rest of the world, all the populations in India and Nigeria and China and even Russia, they're looking at Britain and Germany and the United States with just a sense of sadness.
	It's so sad.
	So sad to see those countries just committing suicide.
	They tore down their energy infrastructure to appease the greenies.
	And then they turn their military into a cabal of weenies.
	And then they elected a cognitively impaired retarded president and national leaders.
	They rig their elections.
	They censor their speech.
	They won't even protect their own borders.
	They're being overrun by migrants.
	And their currency is collapsing.
	Yeah, I mean, that's the way China and Russia and Iran look at the United States and Western Europe.
	Russia has a much smaller population than does the United States of America, and yet Russia can outproduce the U.S. in terms of military munitions and equipment and has much better technology, including hypersonic missiles and hyperglide reentry vehicles for their nuclear weapons and much more.
	Electronic warfare superiority.
	How can that be?
	How can a much smaller country...
	We're always reminded, a smaller GDP, how can it be so much more effective in terms of its military might than the United States, which has a larger GDP? Well, it turns out, you know, half the GDP of the United States is either sick care, pharmaceutical prescriptions, and chemotherapy treatments, or Or, financialization.
	People buying and selling and trading pieces of paper with each other with derivative numbers written on them and thinking they're all getting rich.
	I mean, there's nothing real happening.
	Russia is manufacturing artillery shells.
	With metal and gunpowder and primers.
	In America, your bank is trying to sell you more collateralized debt obligations, CDOs from the big short, or a CDO of a CDO. We call it CDO squared.
	It's a derivative of a derivative.
	You can make even more, you know, just endless BS from the world of banks and finance and big pharma.
	I mean, almost the entire U.S. economy is three things.
	I've mentioned this before.
	It's debt, disease, and death.
	Debt means financialization.
	Disease is big pharma and the sick care industry.
	And death is the war industry.
	Those three things are, I don't know, maybe 80% of the U.S. economy.
	But none of those three things build anything.
	They don't create anything useful.
	So that's why, I mean, Russia and China know how to make things.
	America only knows how to destroy things.
	And speaking of destruction, the United States of America is really good at destroying wealth also.
	You know, they've destroyed the dollar currency, and you see that reflected in massive inflation, which is just representative of dollar devaluation.
	But the US is destroying economies.
	We shut down our own energy infrastructure.
	The US Navy destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines, which obliterated an affordable energy supply for Germany and much of Western Europe.
	I mean, the United States of America, under its current regime, is basically a terrorist organization running around the world destroying everything.
	No wonder the other countries can't wait to move away from the dollar and form their own currency, the BRICS currency, the BRICS nations.
	They're done with the dollar.
	Global de-dollarization is here.
	It's a real thing.
	And when it finally kicks in, the dollar will plunge to zero.
	And the American people are going to find themselves living in abject poverty.
	Where their own dollar currency won't buy anything from the rest of the world.
	Although you might still be able to buy, I don't know, a haircut or maybe a burger from your local fast food joint.
	You won't be able to buy anything that comes from the rest of the world.
	You know, like aluminum or minerals or electronics or telecommunications gear, car parts and so on and so forth.
	Appliances, you know.
	Because the dollar will be so worthless that it'll cost you a fortune in an exchange rate in order to get anything that's imported.
	That's what's happening.
	That's coming.
	That process has already begun.
	Because the world is no longer afraid of the U.S. dollar and its sanctions.
	You see, the U.S. government has wielded sanctions.
	Well, the State Department.
	For decades, as a very effective weapon of global compliance, like, if you don't do what we want, we're going to apply sanctions to you.
	I remember a couple of decades ago when Taiwan wanted to have anti-smoking campaigns and ban cigarettes, and the US government went after Taiwan and said, well, You're trying to block free trade for Marlboro and all these cigarette companies.
	And if you do that, we're going to punish you under, you know, what is it, Section 302 or whatever it was?
	Economic sanctions.
	Because Taiwan didn't want its citizens to die from heart disease and lung cancer, you know?
	And then when it came to GMOs and Monsanto and poisoning the world's crops...
	The United States government partnered with Monsanto and threatened Western Europe with economic sanctions if they didn't embrace the sweeping invasion of GMOs across their farming industry.
	Sanctions were wielded as a weapon against Europe.
	The U.S. has done so much to destroy Europe.
	It's astonishing that the leaders of Western Europe still consider the U.S. to be an ally at all.
	If anything, Germany should probably partner with Russia, and Germany would have a much stronger economy, rebuild the Nord Stream pipelines, and reinvigorate its own industry, leave NATO, leave the United States.
	Germany would be much stronger with Russia.
	But no, for some reason, Germany's all woke.
	It's on a suicide mission, part of a climate cult of self-destruction.
	Self-immolation.
	That's what we're seeing in Germany and other Western European nations.
	It's pretty pathetic and sick to watch.
	By the way, speaking of seeds and crops, I've got an interview coming up for you today with Alex Mitchell from ArcSeeds.
	That sells non-GMO, heirloom seeds, you know, the kind that you can save and use year after year, generation after generation, the kind of seeds that can keep you alive and well-sustained through a collapse.
	We've partnered with the Ark Seed Company, and we now have their seed kits available at HealthRangerStore.com.
	And we feature an interview with Alex Mitchell to talk about the seed kits and why they matter.
	And why it's important to have seeds.
	It's a great barter item, too, by the way.
	Seed is food potential.
	And if you're going into, well, the coming spring in the northern hemisphere, it's really important to have seeds.
	This is a good time to kind of beat the rush.
	I mean, here it is, almost early February.
	It's going to be planting season for a lot of southern states here soon.
	And for the northern states, you know, maybe another month after that.
	But this is a good time to learn about ARC seed kits and get some of these seeds for yourself.
	So stay tuned for that full interview after this broadcast.
	But speaking of seeds and food and farms, here's a story from the National Pulse.
	Farmer rebellion spreads to France.
	Protesters blockade Paris.
	Can you believe that?
	Those pesky protesters.
	It says that protesters and farmers in France began a siege of Paris on Monday, blocking all major highways with tractors.
	You gotta love it.
	Tractors are very effective at blocking roads, huh?
	Farmers from all across the European Union, angered by unfair competition from more lightly regulated countries and costly climate policies and subsidy cuts and tax hikes, I mean, what's not to love?
	It's Europe!
	Have also targeted government offices, with some being damaged in the protests.
	Hmm.
	I heard that some farmers in France sprayed...
	Animal poo all over some government buildings.
	You know, I can't imagine a more appropriate response.
	I think spraying animal poo all over the Ministry of Agriculture in Paris sounds like the best idea ever.
	President Macron's globalist government has heightened security measures in response to the protests.
	His new prime minister failed to defuse the unrest last week with a series of token concessions.
	Many of the issues faced by French farmers stem from EU policies.
	Yeah, we're talking about the shutdown of energy infrastructure, the rising price of fertilizer because of the lack of natural gas through Nord Stream, obviously.
	I mean, farmers are under attack all across Western Europe.
	No wonder.
	No wonder farmers are rising up.
	And it's just the beginning, folks.
	It's happening in the Netherlands.
	It's happening in Germany.
	And in Germany, the AFD party is rising in popularity because people are tired of the status quo.
	I mean, the status quo governments of Germany and France and the UK and the United States and Canada and Australia and so on, they are suicide cults.
	But they're also terrorists that are at war with their own people.
	And farmers are seeing this firsthand.
	Farmers are realizing they cannot stay in business.
	They can't sustain operations under this current climate of a deliberate shutdown of energy, fertilizer, food, and farms, and also crackdowns on ranch animals, by the way, in places like the Netherlands.
	So it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
	How do Europeans think they're going to eat after they clobber all the farms?
	No, seriously.
	What thought is going through the mind of a typical European, EU, globalist, bureaucrat, nincompoop, who's saying, oh, we have to shut down farms.
	Like, farming's bad for the planet, you know?
	Food is bad for the planet.
	Humans are bad for the planet.
	How do they think this is going to go?
	Because even all the illegals that they're rushing into the countries as an invasion force, those illegals have to eat too.
	How's this going to go when you starve the illegals that you invited in and then they have nothing to eat?
	Oh, let's see.
	They're going to protest, right?
	And you just brought in probably the most violent illegals, like...
	A bunch of radical extremists from the Middle East in many cases, depending on the country of origin.
	So if you thought that French farmers spraying poo on the minister buildings in Paris was bad, wait till the radical Islamic terrorists set fire to those buildings and bomb them, huh?
	Because that's what's coming probably since the European leadership is a bunch of woke, tarred lunatics who have no idea what's going on.
	And they're also suicide cultists.
	I mean, it's like they've strapped suicide vests to themselves and they run around their countries just detonating it.
	I'm talking about the bureaucrats, not even the terrorists.
	But then again, the bureaucrats are terrorists at this point.
	How do they think that France is going to survive without any farms?
	How's the UK gonna survive without farms?
	How is the Netherlands going to survive without farms?
	The answer is, it's not.
	It's not.
	Western Europe is done.
	Western Europe is on a suicide mission.
	And it's probably going to succeed.
	Because for whatever reason, the people of Western Europe, aside from the farmers who are ass-kickers, let's be honest, you gotta give them credit, but for the most part, the people of Western Europe are pathetic.
	They're not even capable of defending their own culture, their own borders, their own farms, their own food supply.
	Nothing!
	They're not qualified to even populate the future of the planet because they've just become, I don't know, pathetic jellyfish, like spineless blobs of biomass.
	The average British citizen is so terrified of their own government they can't even use the word tranny.
	Because, you know, they'll be arrested and go to jail.
	So, oh my God, we can't.
	We can't say the T word.
	You know?
	How did you get to be such slaves to your corrupt suicide governments, huh?
	How did that happen?
	And the bigger question is, how did you let America, your ally, destroy your country?
	Huh?
	To the people of Germany listening to this, and I know we have a lot of fans of Germany, and I know you're not part of the oblivious masses over there.
	But you must wonder, what I'm wondering, how do your fellow Germans, why do they keep letting America destroy your country?
	And the Greens, you know?
	How is this possible?
	And to the Brits listening, you know, how is it that your fellow countrymen and women are so pathetic, they're just so obedient to the corrupt government, that they'll do whatever they're told to do, and they're just so afraid and terrified to say anything that might be considered, oh, extremist, you know?
	How did you become such a pathetic culture?
	Of course, I'm not singling out the Brits.
	I mean, America has the same exact problem.
	America, at least among the oblivious masses, has also become a pathetic culture of libtards and do-gooders and virtue signalers and people who don't have any skills.
	They don't know how to do anything in the real world other than play victim all day long.
	And whoever plays victim the best gets to be the CEO and gets to run the bank and gets to run the government and gets to run the Pentagon.
	That's how you end up with the exact opposite of a meritocracy.
	What would you call that?
	Like a woke-tardocracy or something?
	Or I guess just idiocracy.
	They've already come up with the right term.
	And not long after it becomes an idiocracy, it collapses.
	And that's the phase we're in right now, folks.
	As part of this collapse, getting back to the main topic here, the rest of the world is no longer afraid of the U.S. empire because they laugh at U.S. cross-dressing soldiers and transgender naval recruiters and helicopter pilots in the army.
	They're being laughed at by the rest of the world.
	You think some hardcore Russian soldier is afraid of some US tranny soldier with pantyhose and high heels and a bra with an M4 that's threatening them on the battlefield?
	No, the Russian soldiers laugh.
	They might die laughing, but they're not going to die in combat.
	I mean, the world looks at Joe Biden and they just laugh because Biden has become so pathetic.
	He barely knows who he is.
	He barely knows what day it is.
	You look at a picture of Joe Biden, the first thing that comes to mind is adult diapers.
	You know, this is not a leader of any nation, much less the United States of America.
	And it's because of these things, the woke Pentagon, the cognitively impaired president, the rigged elections, the compulsively propagandized media that is practically incapable of telling the truth on any topic that the rest of the world looks at the United States today and they just laugh their the compulsively propagandized media that is practically incapable of telling the truth China is laughing at America.
	Russia laughing at America.
	Iran laughing at America.
	It's so bad that even Yemen is laughing at America.
	Because America has become pathetic.
	Now, in contrast to that, Texas has become awesome.
	And, of course, when I say these things, I don't mean every American.
	I just mean those who are currently in charge and, of course, the left-wing Democrats or the demon rats, the oblivious masses.
	But there are still real Americans, obviously.
	You're probably one of them listening to this.
	I'm one of them.
	And we have this huge convoy headed to Texas right now.
	That's the spirit of America.
	Protect the border.
	And peacefully dissent against the insanity and the criminality and the unconstitutionality of the federal government.
	I'd love to see the convoy.
	This is real America on parade, finally.
	The website for that is takeourborderback.com, by the way.
	Takeourborderback.com.
	Check it out.
	It's peaceful assembly and prayer...
	Converging in Eagle Pass, Texas this coming Saturday.
	What is that?
	January?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	February 3rd.
	Looks like there's going to be a little bit of rain that morning, too.
	So plan accordingly.
	So yeah, we have real Americans.
	And I know a lot of people listening are in countries like Germany or the UK or France.
	And, you know, you're the red-pilled people.
	But you see, as I see, we're surrounded by...
	Blathering idiots and conformists and woke tards.
	And that's why Western civilization is coming to an end.
	And that's why the world no longer fears America.
	So, things are about to change dramatically.
	Also, the Middle East no longer fears Israel.
	You've probably noticed that.
	Hamas does not fear the IDF. Lebanon is not afraid of Israel.
	Iran is most certainly not afraid of Israel.
	So the Middle East has decided to eliminate Israel.
	Israel, just like Western Europe, is pretty much done for.
	Now, it's going to take many years for that to happen, but the decision has been made, the determination has been achieved, and The Middle Eastern countries surrounding Israel will no longer tolerate Israel's existence.
	Israel, done.
	I predict it won't exist, at least not at that location on the world map, within the next five years.
	Western Europe, done.
	Doesn't mean Western Europe is going to fall off the map.
	I mean, it'll still be there geographically, but as leading economies of the world, it's done.
	Germany will never again be restored to its post-World War II industrial might.
	I mean, Germany was the leading industrial base of Western Europe through the 1970s, 80s, 90s.
	I mean, for the past several decades, that's done.
	Western Europe will be dwarfed by the economic power of Russia, by the way.
	And it's already underway.
	There's nothing that can be done to reverse this.
	And the people of America, as well as the people of Western Europe, who enjoyed generations of false abundance, you know, material abundance, and having dominant currencies that allowed them to live on the debt shoulders of other workers around the world, well, those days are coming to an end.
	The days of easy money and affordable goods at Walmart coming to an end.
	The American people and the European people are going to be, from this point forward, for at least a generation, impoverished in a way that was inconceivable.
	They will be impoverished in something that hasn't been witnessed in the United States since the Great Depression.
	And it will probably exceed the Great Depression in terms of the depth of destitution that will strike the American people.
	Tens of millions of Americans will become homeless.
	They will face famine.
	They will lose their assets.
	Their bank accounts will be seized.
	The dollar will become worthless.
	They will lose their jobs as the currency collapses.
	The United States of America is going to collapse into an economic, well, to use a Trump term, hole.
	Many of America's cities will look a lot like, let's say, Haiti.
	Nothing against Haiti, but if you've been there, you know what I'm talking about.
	America will be an impoverished third world nation before long.
	And much of Western Europe will suffer the exact same fate, combined with mass starvation and, of course, invasion.
	And it won't be long, maybe one generation, before the history of Western Europe is obliterated and the people who once called themselves Europeans will no longer exist.
	They will be replaced.
	In the United States of America, the replacement crew is working overtime to invade and overrun our borders and turn the United States of America into a UN-occupied globalist nation of anti-American fascists, socialists, and communists.
	Thank God Texas has taken a stand to stop that, and thank God that all the people in the convoy are...
	Going to some effort to stop that as well.
	And maybe, maybe if we get Trump into the White House in this next election, maybe we could turn the tide on this thing.
	For Western Europe, I think it's done.
	I think it's too late.
	But for America, maybe it's not too late.
	Maybe there's a chance.
	I'm not certain about that, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
	We'll see.
	Just be prepared in case it all goes badly or Now, along those lines, we're going to jump into a special report here called USA and Israel are the two most dangerous nations hell-bent on nuclear war suicide.
	And I recorded that after listening to an interview of Colonel Douglas McGregor, by the way.
	And then after that, we'll have the interview with ARC Seed Kits.
	A couple of plugs here.
	Of course, HealthRangerStore.com is where you can get preparedness, storable food, certified organic, laboratory tested, personal care products, and much more.
	It'll help you get ready for what's coming.
	And of course, we have ARC seed kits available on HealthRangerStore.com as well.
	We thank you for your support.
	In terms of off-grid money, be sure to check out VerifiedGoldbacks.com.
	That's our affiliate site for Goldbacks.com.
	Which are sort of the size of small notes, but they're embedded with physical gold as a layer between the polymers.
	And they're beautiful, and they contain real 24-karat gold.
	We've verified that.
	We did the lab tests.
	You can see all our results right there on that page.
	Verifiedgoldbacks.com is one way to have gold in a very divisible format.
	Like one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold.
	You can get the ones.
	Or you can get fives or tens and so on.
	Now, if you just want bulk gold, just the maximum amount of ounces of gold possible, then you can get gold coins or silver coins.
	And our sponsor in that space is found at metalswithmike.com.
	But if you want the divisible gold in the form of goldbacks, which has high utility, it's easy to use.
	Then just go to verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	We do get compensated a small percentage on those sales because that's an affiliate site, by the way.
	But for the gold and silver sales from metalswithmike.com, we actually do not get any percentage because those margins are very, very thin.
	I'm just mentioning them because they also do sponsor the program from time to time.
	And they're a great sponsor.
	They've helped thousands of people get squared away with gold and silver.
	So check out both of those options and see what's right for you.
	You know, do your own research.
	This is not financial advice.
	I'm not telling you to speculate on gold or silver.
	Do your research.
	Talk to your financial advisor.
	Whoever you go to for your professional advice, talk to them first and then do what's right for you, okay?
	So, I mean, use your money wisely.
	There's not a lot of time left here, and whatever resources you have, I know you have to balance it.
	You have to think about, well, how much food do I need, or do I need to get out of debt?
	Is there something you need to pay off, like your house or a car or something?
	I don't know.
	You might wonder, well, how much ammo should I have, or how much gold and silver or goldbacks or garden seeds or emergency medical supplies?
	You have to balance all of that.
	I can't give you Like one formula that fits everybody, obviously.
	That's up to you to find that right balance for you.
	What I believe, though, is that, well, I know with certainty that the dollar is going to zero.
	I don't know when, but I know that's where it goes.
	The banks are going to fail.
	I don't know when.
	And the things that will hold value, and I know this with absolute certainty because I've studied history, are real physical things like gold and silver and seeds and ammo and land and what have you.
	You know, a roof over your head, a tractor, diesel fuel, all the things that I've talked about here, plus some very capable firearms, you know, for self-defense.
	They will always have value.
	They will have so much more value.
	During this time of chaos than at any other time.
	So it's a good time to get the supplies you need, but do so wisely, okay?
	And thank you for your support if you choose to support us.
	If not, if that's not appropriate, just do what's right for you, okay?
	Just make sure you're all squared away and support us wherever you choose to.
	Alright, now we're going to go to a special report called the USA and Israel are the two most dangerous nations hell-bent on nuclear war suicide.
	Now, this report does repeat a few of the themes that I already covered here today, but I added a lot of additional information, some additional thoughts on nuclear weapons in the Middle East.
	So give that a listen, and then on the other side of that, we'll have the interview with Alex Mitchell from Arc Seeds.
	Thanks for listening.
	Colonel Douglas McGregor was just on with Judge Andrew Napolitano, and he warned that if the war situation in the Middle East continues to escalate, like it is now, that it would likely lead to Israel using nuclear weapons, which would be absolutely catastrophic for the entire world, not just the Middle East.
	And the reason it would be catastrophic for the world is because, well, the Strait of Hormuz would be shut down, the Suez Canal would be shut down.
	There would be so much conflict in the region that no ships could move through the Red Sea, for example, or anywhere near that area without getting targeted and destroyed by one side or the other.
	If Israel uses a nuclear weapon, It will be catastrophic for the world.
	And yet, we know, and this is the point of this podcast, that both Israel and the United States are extremely irrational.
	I should say the leadership of those two countries is extremely irrational.
	Netanyahu is a war criminal lunatic, a Zionist racist lunatic.
	A genocidal madman with nuclear weapons.
	It's a very dangerous situation.
	And of course, the United States has quite a few nuclear weapons as well.
	Not as many as Russia, and not as modern as Russia, but the U.S. has its own nuclear weapons arsenal.
	And we have insane lunatics in the State Department.
	And we have incompetent people in the Pentagon because it's all gone woke now at the upper echelon of the Pentagon.
	The people in the White House are insane, incompetent, uninformed, and yet incredibly arrogant.
	Joe Biden thinks that America is still the strongest country in the world.
	He's living in the 1980s.
	He has no idea how things have changed since then because his brain has not functioned for at least a decade and he's living in the past.
	So we are in fact in a very, very dangerous situation.
	And the one thing we can count on is that the US and Israel will make bad decisions.
	Decisions that are not even in their own self-interest.
	I'm not just saying decisions bad for the world, but bad for themselves.
	The U.S. in its conflict with Russia, for example, is constantly making bad decisions.
	Compelling Ukraine, for example, to try to attack Russia's defensive lines, which is resulting in a huge loss of young Ukrainian soldiers who fight very courageously But are being led by incompetent, insane lunatics in the sense of the U.S. government and also, of course, Zelensky himself, who is not qualified to micromanage the military.
	He orders battalions around as if he knows what he's doing, but he doesn't.
	But see, this is very characteristic of Western countries right now.
	They are incompetent, but they are arrogant.
	And they are making extraordinary mistakes that compromise their own self-interest.
	Now, there's a big reason why this matters.
	You know, the rational thing to do with Russia, for example, from the point of view of the West, would be to try to make peace with Russia, find a way to live together, and engage in trade.
	So that everybody experiences more abundance and we don't have people dying and homes being bombed, tanks being destroyed and artillery shells being expended and so on.
	Peace pays a bonus to everyone involved.
	And yet peace is the last thing that NATO wants or that the US wants.
	They're absolutely hell-bent on destroying Russia, no matter what it takes, and yet they're finding out that they're incapable of doing so.
	And based on recent actions, all kinds of cargo plane movement, installing nuclear weapons in the UK or transferring them there, troop call-ups and deployments to Europe, It seems obvious that the United States and NATO are going to wage an even larger war with Russia because they don't know when to stop.
	And they will be defeated by Russia because you can't beat Russia in a land war.
	It's not possible.
	No country in the world right now can beat Russia.
	Not even a group of countries known as NATO. So It's a suicide mission, but the Western nations are so used to being able to bully the world that they have not yet calibrated that they're no longer able to bully the world successfully.
	The world no longer will bow down to the bullying of the U.S. Empire.
	I mean, we're seeing this in Yemen with the drone strikes against the ships in protest of Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
	Yemen is saying to the US, we're not afraid of you anymore.
	Iran is not afraid of the US anymore.
	All kinds of countries all over the world, Russia, China, they're all saying the same thing.
	We're not afraid of the US anymore.
	The US is a waning empire that is no longer dominant, doesn't have the strongest military, doesn't have the strongest currency, doesn't have even competent leaders, doesn't have morality, honest elections, A strong economy.
	Nothing.
	The U.S. is a pale shadow of what it once was.
	And its military is, like the Navy, is like a floating Woketard festival at this point.
	No wonder Yemen's not afraid of the U.S. Navy.
	But there's another reason why all this matters.
	Just as the U.S. government, the pretender-in-chief, Joe Biden, Is arrogant, but ignorant, incompetent, and threatening all the other countries of the world, it seems.
	He will also do something similar to Texas.
	He will try to bully Texas into compliance over the open border situation.
	And he won't realize, Biden won't, that the U.S. government can't stop Texas from protecting its own border.
	Biden won't realize that the U.S. government is weak and that if he tries to deploy the military against 25 U.S. states, then he's actually going to see the defeat of the federal government.
	The defeat of the U.S. military at the hands of those 25 plus states.
	Maybe it's 26.
	And again, nobody in Washington, D.C. realizes this.
	They're so brainwashed with their own crap.
	They're living in such a bubble of delusion that they don't recognize reality for what it is.
	And so you can count on the Biden regime to make horrible decisions.
	It will make horrible decisions in the domestic situation in the U.S. It will make bad decisions in Europe.
	It will make bad decisions in the Middle East and it will make bad decisions in, well, near Taiwan having to do with China.
	All the spokespeople for the U.S. government, even Admiral Kirby, for example, are nothing but liars.
	Liars and propagandists and fraudsters who never tell the truth.
	They almost never utter the truth about anything.
	And the media reprints those lies as if they were facts.
	And then the people in the government read the media to confirm their lies.
	You know, they're living in their own delusional self-reinforcement bubble of bullcrap.
	And they think because the media repeated their lies that then they must be true.
	And thus, they are not equipped to face reality or what's happening in the real world of the Middle East or what's happening with Russia or what's happening with Texas.
	We are now living under a truly delusional regime of...
	Narcissistic, mentally ill lunatics who are running our country.
	It's not just the US. It's also, of course, Israel as well.
	Just absolute mentally ill lunatics.
	As a result, the world is incredibly dangerous because the US and Israel are out of control.
	That's the bottom line here today.
	The U.S. and Israel are a threat to the entire world, and they have nuclear weapons, and they're willing to use them, and their leaders are war criminals or irrational incompetent fools.
	The situation could not possibly be more dangerous.
	Now, by the way, Iran probably has nuclear weapons as well.
	Now, I've interviewed people who say that Iran does not have weapons, but other people who say they do.
	It's probably true that they do.
	And if Israel starts to use its nuclear weapons, guess who's going to respond?
	Probably Iran?
	Maybe Pakistan?
	Maybe Pakistan hands over its nuclear weapons to Turkey, and Turkey uses them against Israel.
	I have a feeling that where this is headed is Israel under a mushroom cloud.
	Or several mushroom clouds.
	I think Israel will be obliterated.
	I don't think Israel will exist beyond, I don't know, the next five years or so, is my guess.
	But Israel may nuke other countries first, by the way.
	Probably so.
	Samson option.
	Israel will go down in history, most likely, as...
	The most insane, most lunatic nation that ever existed on our planet that launched nukes in a desperate move for somehow mutually assured destruction.
	And murdered millions of people in the Arab nations surrounding Israel, and then Israel itself got nuked into oblivion, rendering huge portions of the Middle East uninhabitable and unusable for food production, farming, you know, anything, industry.
	That's probably where this ends up.
	And the only way to stop this is to stop the madmen.
	Stop these lunatics from being in power.
	And that's Netanyahu.
	And in the United States, that means we have to elect Trump and get Biden and the Democrats out of office for good.
	Never let them have control again.
	They didn't even win the election last time.
	You know, they rigged it.
	It was stolen.
	But those are my thoughts on the topic.
	Make sure you're well prepared.
	Make sure you've got everything you need.
	Off-grid money, off-grid medicine, food, self-defense, communications, all of it.
	And then stay tuned for more updates.

	If you're into garden seeds at all, not only to grow them, but also to use them for barter, you're going to love today's interview.
	Welcome.
	It's brightteow.com.
	Mike Adams here.
	And our guest today is Alex Mitchell from arcseedkits.com.
	And we're announcing a new partnership with Arc Seed Kits.
	And we now carry their products at our online store, healthrangerstore.com.
	And here to tell us all about it is the founder, Alex Mitchell.
	Welcome, Alex.
	Great to have you back on.
	Thanks, Mike.
	So happy to be with you guys and to see all you guys again.
	Yeah, we're happy to have you on here, too.
	And for our audience, you were joining us from your greenhouse, and the bandwidth just wasn't working there, so you're now in your living room.
	But I can confirm you were in a greenhouse surrounded by plants a few minutes ago.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Sorry about that.
	I wanted to show all you guys everything we have growing right now.
	I know.
	That would be really cool.
	Well, maybe we can do that in an upcoming show.
	In the meantime, we're really thrilled to be able to partner with you with your seed kits.
	They've been very popular among our audience.
	Can my producer show on my desk here?
	I've got one of your products here, which is the cylinder of seeds.
	Yeah, there it is.
	And this is, I believe this is called the All-in-One Vegetable Seed Kit.
	It's a four-inch PVC, very rugged.
	And if you pop off the lid, it's just packed with seeds.
	And you have a couple different seed kits.
	Can you just describe what kind of collections you put together for people?
	Sure.
	Yeah, we offer our All-in-One Kit, the tube that you were just showing, that has 50,000 seeds in it.
	There's 70 different varieties.
	So we have...
	Six or seven different types of beans, seven or eight different types of tomatoes, there's about five different types of squash, 16 different herbs, part of those being medicinal herbs to be able to make your own medicine.
	We have carrots, cabbage, broccoli, peas, let's see, onions, multiple different types of onions.
	So we just want to give a really broad Variation in our all-in-one tube.
	Basically, that's why it's called the all-in-one kit.
	So it's everything that you would want to grow in your vegetable garden in that kit.
	The gold bag, we have a smaller size.
	It's called our backyard kit.
	A little bit smaller seed count and about 6,000 seeds.
	We have 20 varieties in that.
	So it's made for maybe a smaller size garden or if you live in an apartment, gardening on a patio.
	But our real special, most popular option that we offer right now is our Prepper Special.
	Ah, here it is.
	That was actually designed after doing an interview with you, Mike, back in the spring.
	It became very popular.
	So this special offers...
	Five of the all-in-one tubes for the price of four.
	So you're saving about $300 on that one.
	So this is for a whole community or you get together with your neighbors or family members and you get five of these tubes.
	How many total seeds are in that?
	50,000 in one tube.
	Oh, wow.
	Okay.
	So do people...
	I'm curious...
	I know that many of your customers actively grow many of these seeds, of course, but a lot of others are just vaulting them, I would imagine, in preparedness or barter or growing food after an emergency.
	How many of your customers are actually in that mindset, do you think?
	Surprisingly, over the years, about 75% of our customers Our purchasing and collecting and saving seeds for preparing for the future and for having more of an emergency stash of seeds.
	We have a smaller amount of our customer base are just looking for new seeds every year to just plant in the garden.
	But a majority of our customers and our listeners Are interested in the whole process of saving heirloom seeds, growing your seed stock year after year to be able to supply food for you and your family and offer food security for the future.
	Now, I actually want to show, we just took the lid off of this ARC seed kit cylinder, and I want to just show some of what's in here.
	All different seed packs, instructions, and many, many different packs here, all labeled like, what is this, prizehead leaf lettuce and parsnips and so on, all the way down to...
	Chickpeas, garbanzo beans here.
	There's a certain amount of corn.
	A lot of different beans, vegetables.
	I mean, this looks like, you know, more than enough to feed a large number of people if you actually grow these.
	I mean, even assuming only, dare I say, a 50% germination rate, although I know yours are much higher than that, but even if only half of these germinate, you've got a lot of food.
	I mean, this is a lot of seeds here.
	Yeah, if you plant all the seeds that are in the tube, it probably would cover about a two to three acre plot of land.
	We just never encourage everybody to...
	Plant all the seeds at one time in case one variety gets hit with a certain blight or disease or something and then you have no more of those seeds.
	So we just encourage you to, you know, maybe plant half or three quarters of the seed stock that comes in the kit and then learn how to save them every year.
	Right, so these are all heirloom style seeds.
	I mean, they're not GMO. You can save seeds generation after generation.
	That's a critical philosophy of what you advocate, right?
	Yes.
	Yeah, it's the easiest way to understand it if you're new to never learning or understanding about garden seeds is there's two types of seeds.
	There's hybrid and there's heirloom.
	And hybrid seeds are designed to grow really good crop and Stock that one year, but being able to take the seeds out of a hybrid watermelon, let's say, and save those seeds for the next year, it won't guarantee that it's going to grow you a watermelon.
	Right.
	Whereas the difference is heirloom seeds will reproduce year after year and you can save those seeds from the heirloom watermelon and then save them for the next year and replant them.
	All of our varieties as well are over 100 years old.
	So they've gone through all the drought and the blight and the disease.
	So they're the most hardiest, highest quality non-GMO seeds that you can get.
	That's really critical to understand that these seeds are the survivor seeds of multiple generations.
	Like you said, some of them 100 years of going through early frosts or different disease or pests or drought, all kinds of things.
	These are Mother Nature's miracles.
	Exactly, yeah.
	And what I love about seeds, I love the miracles of nature and the fact that you put one of these...
	And many of these you can grow out of containers.
	You can grow them on a balcony.
	I've grown many of these things, such as lettuce and kale and so on, out of the non-circulating hydroponic systems, out of the bins.
	You don't even need any pumps.
	You don't need any electricity, anything, as long as you have sunlight.
	But these...
	Most of these, I would say, are incredibly easy to grow.
	What would your message be to non-gardeners who might feel a little intimidated by all this?
	Well, that's a good question, Mike, because I would like to speak with everyone who is listening, who has maybe in the past purchased seeds or you have your own stock of heirloom seeds.
	But for those who are listening who are maybe thinking, I... I'm not a gardener.
	I've never gardened or I don't have land to garden on.
	I would just say two points to you that's important.
	One being if the time comes in the future where we do have to be able to grow and rely on our own food, you don't want to get stuck in the middle of that not knowing or just learning at that point.
	So it's really important.
	Even if you just start with one or two varieties, something small, you don't have to start with 70.
	When I first began, I started with five or six, not 70.
	So just to encourage you to start small and start practicing right now.
	So then when the time comes, you're not stuck learning in the middle of a crisis situation.
	So that's the first point that I would say.
	And then the second point that I think is important is Even if you have not necessarily known or understood the value of seeds or think, I don't have land, I'll never use them, maybe take a different look at seeds and the importance of them for a trading or a bartering in the future, sort of like gold and silver and ammunition, guns, all of those different things.
	Even if maybe you never plant the seed in the ground, but think of it as a source of a savings account per se, that would be important to use to be able to trade.
	Because if we do look back in history, and even back to the early 1900s, when there was large communities of actually using seeds to trade for currency, that's how they actually were buying things, that we could see those days in the future.
	I think that's a very important point.
	In fact, I want to show...
	Here I've got a couple of silver coins, one-ounce silver coins on my desk.
	And I've been talking about these recently.
	These are gold backs.
	And these are little note-sized items that have actual gold layered inside the polymer.
	And they're really beautiful.
	And I don't have gold coins here.
	Otherwise, I would show you those.
	But...
	As much as I'm an advocate of silver and gold and also practical ammunition and so on, the truth is that you can't eat any of that stuff.
	You can't eat gold, you can't eat silver, you can't eat lead, or hopefully you're not eating lead if you're on the receiving end of it.
	You can't eat that stuff, but your seeds, this is food potential.
	I mean, this is, in a sense, more valuable than gold.
	When people are starving, they will spend all the silver and all the gold in the world in order to eat.
	So food is in a whole different category, and this is like food potential right here.
	Add water, soil, and sunlight, and you've got food and time.
	So what are your thoughts?
	Yeah, you know, what's interesting, I was thinking while you were just talking about this, is probably our largest group of listeners and customers purchasing the seeds in large amounts of quantities are actually doctors,
	lawyers, financial advisors, traders, And they're calling, emailing, sending messages saying that they would like multiple amounts of seeds.
	They know that it's going to be at the very near future, some sort of savings account or way that currency in order to be able to purchase, you know, trade, borrow.
	And so it's when we look at, you know, being...
	Diversifying with our assets is something important.
	So we're not only focusing on silver or only focusing on ammo, but having a little bit of everything is really important.
	But like you said, Mike, when it comes down to it, we need food to survive.
	So learning now how to grow.
	I thought about this right before we were doing the interview.
	And something that we're going through on our farm and with my family is we've always done cows, we've done meat cows, we've done chickens, we've done sheep, llamas, but we've never done milking cows.
	And I keep talking to my husband back and forth about making the decision that we need to learn how to do it now so in the future it's not something new that we have to rely on that we've never done.
	So it's something new, stepping out, just practicing, even though I can go to the store and buy milk right now, but learning how to do it in case it's something in the future.
	So it's the same thing with gardening and growing seeds.
	If it's something you've never done, just take the step and try to just practice.
	You can't fail.
	Just do a few varieties and And get good at it now.
	I completely agree.
	I think that's excellent advice.
	This is the very reason why over, I don't know, 10, 12 years ago, I decided to start raising backyard chickens for the chicken eggs.
	I mean, just like you said, sure, I can go to the grocery store and I can buy eggs.
	But I want to have the knowledge of how to keep chickens healthy and how to produce eggs on my ranch.
	And I've had chickens ever since.
	It's kind of like they're just part of the farm now.
	I can't really imagine it without them.
	But in terms of growing these seeds, I would tell people, yeah, here's some lettuce seeds.
	It's almost impossible to fail at this if you want to just grow lettuce.
	Just have some soil.
	You can even use composting solutions or coconut coir with water and nutrients.
	I mean, there's so many ways to do this.
	Or you can use suspended net pots, but just plant some lettuce and start growing some baby lettuce leaves.
	Just so that you know how to do it.
	And then take those and put them in your regular salads or your smoothies.
	I'll blend up kale and lettuce in my smoothies as well because it's got the enzymes, it's got the chlorophyll, it's got all the nutrients.
	And this is what a lot of people don't understand.
	People think, well, where am I going to get calcium unless I'm drinking milk or eating meat?
	Well, actually, there's so much calcium in lettuce that I mean, the top two nutrients that you have to feed plants are calcium and magnesium.
	So plants are loaded with calcium and magnesium.
	I mean, all of them, without exception.
	There's calcium in broccoli, there's calcium in corn.
	You're not going to have a shortage of calcium unless you're just starving to death, and then you have a shortage of everything.
	But these plants can provide critical nutrients that you need.
	What are your thoughts, Alex?
	Yeah, I 100% agree.
	I wanted to share a little bit more information too that we do offer.
	I think I can maybe hold it up for you to see, but I did write a seed guide that comes with the all-in-one kit, the tube, and it has all the information inside on every variety of every seed that we include in the kit on how to grow them, how to harvest, how to save your own seeds, So if you are new to it, or even you are an expert gardener, you may know way more than I do on it.
	It will have a lot of information in here as well.
	Like Mike was just talking about the different vitamins that are included in the seeds or in the vegetables.
	It has a whole description on all of the medicinal herbs that we include.
	And when the time comes, how to make your own tinctures and how to make your own salves, echinacea.
	And chamomile and all the benefits of what it can do.
	So it's all the steps, how you grow it, when to harvest it, when to save the seeds, and then how to make your own medicine from it.
	That was actually my next question because off-grid medicine is going to be critical for survival.
	And I've shown people things like using an ultrasonic cleaner as an herb extractor, which is the fastest way to get nutrients out of herbs or to make your own healing nutrients or nutrient solutions.
	But tell us, because I can't go through all the seeds here, obviously, but in this kit, can you name some of the medicinal plants that are represented by the seeds?
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	So one of them I was just talking about was echinacea.
	So again, it will go through every step of how you grow it and then how you save the seeds.
	And you can make a tincture, you can make a tea.
	You know, echinacea is known as one of the top medicinal herbs and medicines.
	They even use it in hospitals and in doctor's offices for colds, respiratory issues, Chamomile is another one that's used for colds, but also for calming, for stress.
	We have St.
	John's wort.
	That helps with ward off depression.
	We have fenugreek, which helps with female hormones, helps with...
	Type 2 diabetes.
	Yeah, diabetes.
	Can help with digestion.
	It can help with increased mother's milk supply for nursing.
	Those are just a few of them.
	But like I said, we have 16 that we offer inside of the kit.
	So you're getting the potential to grow medicine as well as food and calories.
	What kinds of things do you recommend that people sort of augment this with?
	Because you can't, obviously you can't have in the seed kit, you can't put, you know, butter in it.
	Lard, you know, things like, and those aren't seeds anyway, but I mean, if you're going to cook with this, what other sort of mainstay ingredients should people also consider storing?
	Well, like I said, getting a milking cow.
	Yeah.
	No, I would, yeah, I mean, if, you know, having your own supply of beef and dairy to add in with the vegetables, whether it's From your own animals or whether you have connections from friends or family or neighbors to be able to get those supplies is, you know, where it's going to be important to add in to supplement with your vegetables.
	I will say we did build the all-in-one kit to be a really high protein calorie dense seed varieties.
	So one thing that sets us apart from a lot of other seed kits on the market This is something that's really important, is we include a high number count of a lot of varieties of beans, which are going to give you a lot of protein and calories.
	We have a high number of parsnips, carrots, beets, rutabaga, a lot of the high calorie foods.
	Whereas there's a lot of seed kits on the market today that are...
	Showing that they have a high seed count, like 50,000 seeds.
	But when you look in the fine print, it'll say 40,000 seeds of them are lettuce.
	You're not going to survive on lettuce.
	You need to have protein.
	You need to have high calorie foods.
	So that is one major point that sets our seed kits apart.
	You will never find another seed kit that offers over 1,000 bean seeds.
	That is definitely something that, so again, with supplementing, like you're saying, you're getting your vegetables, but you're also getting fruits, you're getting high calorie, high dense foods.
	Right, right.
	That makes a lot of sense.
	And thanks for pointing out some of the differences.
	And this is why we're really thrilled to partner with your company.
	You've already helped thousands of our viewers and listeners with seed kits direct from your website.
	And now we have you in our online store, healthrangerstore.com, folks.
	So if you want to check these out, we've got the backyard seed kit.
	We have the all-in-one vegetable seed kit, which is what the cylinder is.
	And then we have the preppers special, which is a five-pack.
	You can get together with some friends, and you get five of these packs for the cost of just four.
	And that gives you then 250,000 total seeds.
	That's correct, right, Alex?
	It's 250,000 total in those five.
	Yep.
	And for many families and many people.
	Now, potatoes.
	Obviously, there's not potato seeds, so to speak, in here, but I would recommend that people also augment their farming with potatoes because it's such an easy source of calories.
	Do you agree with that, or what's your advice on potatoes?
	Yeah, I would agree.
	Potatoes are so easy to pass down year after year after year.
	So if you start with a source of From your one year, then save those where you don't actually start from a seed.
	I would say another one that would be important that's medicinal is the garlic clove.
	That would be another seed that we can't put in the tube.
	But once you have a start of a garlic source, then you can keep it going every year just like you can with potatoes.
	I'm trying to think if there's anything else outside of To provide high calorie foods.
	Well, let me add this comment.
	And I've mentioned before that good compost, I've called it black gold.
	And sort of my advice on this is that when you're making compost yourself, if you've got a yard or maybe a couple of acres, even whatever, if you're making compost, you're making compost.
	Food potential.
	And, you know, sometimes making good compost can take many years, whatever you're feeding it, kitchen scraps or whatever.
	But when you're making good soil, then all these seeds are going to be amplified in their effects.
	And I would hate for people to buy the seeds and then end up having no knowledge of what makes good soil and they don't really have anything good to grow it in, and then the plants do poorly.
	So what's your advice on...
	On soil prep or nutrient prep for growing productive, abundant plants.
	Yeah, this is a good point.
	So in our seed guide as well, towards the back, we have a whole recipe for everyone that includes our favorite recipe that we use for our composting and getting our gardens ready for the optimal soil that we love that provides the highest nutrient vegetables that you can grow.
	So Mike's right about the importance of the soil is what's going to put the most nutrients into your vegetables and into your plants.
	So I always explain it to people that you can have one head of broccoli from the grocery store and you can have one head of broccoli from your garden and they can look the same.
	But the nutrients, if we are to test them, is going to be completely different when we glow them in the highest nutrient dense rich soil possible versus a head of broccoli from a grocery store.
	That's so true.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And it's the minerals that people get deficient in.
	And traditional, large-scale commercial farming removes the minerals over time.
	I mean, they only add back N, P, and K, just basic fertilizer.
	Right.
	But it's missing the trace minerals.
	It's missing the selenium.
	It's missing sometimes the copper or the other trace elements that are important for good health.
	Zinc, for example.
	A lot of plants that come from grocery stores are low in zinc.
	And zinc as a nutrient prevents viruses from replicating in your cells.
	Exactly.
	So, you know, you want high zinc plants, and that means you have to think about your soil prep and have good mineral density in your soils.
	And then what about microbiology?
	Because we know that good microbes are necessary for the plant's roots to take up those minerals and, you know, convert them into plant forms, really.
	What are your thoughts on good soil microbiology?
	So one technique that we've used over the years with gardening is a style, maybe some of you guys have heard of it, called Back to Eden Growing Method, where you don't actually disrupt much of the soil and the ground.
	So you have, like Mike is explaining, all the microbiology.
	You have all the ecosystem underneath the ground that you're not touching or disturbing, and you're basically planting your plants on top.
	And you have a lot of less weeding, less watering, and you're not disturbing basically all the work underground that's being done in order to bring the nutrients from the soil into the plants.
	So that's a technique.
	Not everybody doesn't have to do Back to Eden method.
	Sometimes we till certain areas.
	Sometimes we...
	You know, don't even disturb the ground underneath.
	It kind of depends on what we're planting and where.
	But my overall message would be try to bring as least Yeah.
	If you plow up a big area, you're going to spend the rest of your life pulling weeds.
	Exactly.
	Which you'll be burning all the calories that you're going to get from your plants just pulling weeds.
	You have to grow acres of carrots just to have the calories to pull weeds.
	That's the other thing that people need to think about is the caloric inputs and outputs of what it takes to grow food.
	And the way I've always thought about it is you have certain foods like potatoes, corn, beans, and carrots.
	These are rich in calories, but they're not necessarily very high in the medicinal nutrients.
	So for the medicinal nutrients, that's where you're going to get the lettuces, the greens, the herbs, parsley, kale, all these kinds of things, especially the more pungent, leafy lettuce type varieties.
	That's where you're going to get the most medicine.
	But you eat those for nutrients, not for calories.
	Like you said, you're not going to live on lettuce, but you do need nutrients from lettuce.
	But you're going to get calories from these other crops, the beans, the corn, the potatoes.
	And maybe cow's milk on top of that.
	Maybe butter, which would make a lot of this a lot more delicious, by the way, to have some butter in with it as well.
	Does that make sense?
	Does that resonate with what you teach as well?
	Yes.
	Yeah, we do a lot of connecting exactly what you're saying with what we're growing, connecting it to our health.
	Sorry.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	So we do the exact same thing here and we agree.
	Give us some feedback from some of our viewers who have purchased from you over the last couple of years.
	What kinds of things do you hear from them?
	I have one response I would love to read.
	I have actually hundreds and hundreds, but I picked one of my favorite.
	This is from maybe back six months ago.
	And this was specifically on replying to storage of the seeds.
	So we have designed the tubes in a way that will store the seeds for 15 years or longer, as long as they're stored in a cool, dark, dry place.
	But we heard a response from a customer And forgive me because there's a couple choice words he uses, but it's just his response.
	So he said, I felt it necessary to let you all know that one of your all-in-one kits was involved in a fire several years ago.
	Hot enough to melt the plastic bags of some of the seeds.
	Despite this and another few years with it in storage, My friend gave me the kit to see if anything would grow.
	Here I thought there wasn't a chance in hell, but whatever.
	Let's see.
	I'll be damned if everything I planted sprouted and it grew as healthy as can be.
	And since it was a long shot, I planted just about everything that was in there.
	So suddenly I had over 3,000 plants to deal with.
	They were so good looking.
	I had to sell every damn one I couldn't use.
	Great product.
	Can't wait to try it again without the fire.
	That's great.
	We get responses like this from people over the years.
	We've been in business for 15 years, so I could share so many stories where it The most impactful ones are where people really might make a life change in their eating and their health and they take care of stopping eating fast food and stop the diets that they've been on and starting to learn to grow their own food and then eating the nutrient-rich food that's brought so much healing to so many people who
	have been in poor health.
	We have I just talked to a lady yesterday on the phone.
	She's 90 years old and she's still out on her porch every day growing tomatoes and watermelon.
	And the rest of the seeds she gives to her kids and that's what she grows.
	So we have such a diverse customer base and listening to stories every day.
	So many different examples and such great feedback.
	Well, growing your own food can really be transformative, and not just about your health, but also, you know, spiritually.
	To be part of the process of producing the food that you consume, which becomes your physical body, and it affects your moods and your mind and all of that, it really is transformative.
	But I want to mention something else that I really like what you did about this canister here.
	This being rugged, I think it's Schedule 40 PVC with ends on it.
	This is rodent proof.
	And I gotta tell you, I've had many different seed collections over the years, and I've had mice get into some of those seed collections, and mice just gobble them up.
	But with this, this is most definitely mouse-proof.
	I mean, it's even raccoon-proof, I would say.
	It took us a little bit of effort to get this lid off.
	This is really situated for long-term storage so that you can rely on it.
	And even if you don't look at it for five years or more, you're not going to open it up and see that moths have eaten all of it or mice have gotten into all of it.
	So have you had feedback confirming that as well?
	Yeah, yep.
	So, you know, the fire story is just one of many.
	We've had stories of, you know, they've gone through a flood and at the tube, there's been no water inside of it.
	It's been run over by a truck.
	All the seeds are fine, not damaged, and they're still growing.
	We've even had seeds stored somewhere that's way hotter than normal and they're still germinating.
	Stories, you know, people in Out in the desert, Arizona, all over around the world growing, the seeds are still germinating.
	And as long as, you know, the optimal storage is in a cool, dark, dry place inside the tube.
	So that's going to make them store as long as possible.
	But should people avoid freezing them, I would think?
	I don't recommend the freezing or the refrigerator because a seed is actually alive and it has a very small percentage of oxygen in order to keep that seed alive.
	So if you, you know, some people want to put oxygen absorbers inside or in the freezer and I just don't recommend that because I think it can drastically reduce the longevity of the seeds.
	So what temperature is ideal for storage?
	You know, it just is anywhere between, you know, in the 50s or 60s, not much higher than like 70 would probably be, you know, where you want to cut it off at.
	Okay.
	But if people just store them at room temperature, which let's say would be an average of, I don't know, 75 degrees Fahrenheit, it would still have many years of longevity at that temperature?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, I've done that ourselves.
	And the reason I can say 15 plus years is because we've been saving our seeds and growing them for 15 plus years.
	So it could be many, many more years than that.
	I'm sure you guys have heard of the seeds that were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls and, you know, over 2,000 years ago and they germinated and grew.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's extraordinary.
	But even if you start to lose some germination potential, there are so many seeds that you can just overplant by 20% or something and you'll get what you want.
	Right.
	Yeah, one example, I think I maybe showed this on the interview before, I can't remember, but this is one of our packs here of our field corn.
	And just as an example, kind of as a visual, We planted about three or four years ago, we planted all of these seeds just out back in our farm.
	And when it came time to harvest at the end, in the fall, we saved all the corn and we dried them and we rubbed all the little kernels off and everything.
	And just this one small bag, we got five, five gallon buckets full of seeds.
	To give a visual for people how quick your supply can grow.
	So whether you're trying to save seeds for yourself or for your family or your community, or even just to supply corn and grain for your animals, you can increase your supply really quickly.
	From learning how to save your own seeds.
	Oh, that's a really good point.
	Yeah, because I have backyard chickens, like I said, and a lot of people do have animals.
	And what if the animal grain supply chain breaks down?
	You need to be able to grow locally food for those animals.
	So that's a great point.
	Not just corn, but a lot of these other foods.
	I mean, I'm sure my goats would just love to get into everything.
	Because they want to eat everything anyway.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's a good reminder that you can, even if you're doing it for trade or for currency, to be able to increase your seed supply really quickly.
	Just think how many seeds are in one tomato.
	Yeah.
	We just don't think of that when we're eating or like in a watermelon or in a cucumber.
	You can increase your seeds stock supply really quickly.
	Yeah, you could end up, I don't know, in a collapse scenario, you could end up being in the seed production business just growing this heirloom corn, for example, to produce seeds to then barter with other people.
	And you can't grow more gold You can't grow more silver, obviously, but you can grow more seeds.
	It's just time.
	And then you can use that to trade with other people.
	Exactly.
	Mike, I wanted to ask you one thing to share in regards to all the seeds that we've been talking about and the importance of gardening and trying to connect it together with What is going on current events today with the grocery stores and the food increase, the percentages and all of that.
	You want to ask for my overview of what the situation is?
	Yeah, just making a connection with what is going on as far as just an update of what you're hearing and seeing.
	Well, the food supply chain is very fragile, and people are seeing that.
	And we keep seeing these fires.
	Some of them seem to be sabotage, explosions targeting food facilities.
	Restaurants are having a very difficult time getting the ingredients they need.
	I was just talking to a restaurant owner the other day.
	And he said that sometimes the food distributors that sell to restaurants, they're just out of so many things.
	And he said he has to sometimes run to a local grocery store just to pick up some extra ingredient that's missing that the food distributors can't get them, but sometimes the grocery store will have it.
	So the supply chain is really strained right now, and I don't think that's going to get any better anytime soon.
	And then at the same time, food inflation is so high that That growing your own food used to be considered by many to be an expensive hobby where you could just go buy it more cheaply.
	That's not necessarily the case today, especially with things like peppers.
	Think about green peppers or red peppers.
	You know how much those cost in the grocery store?
	Or try to buy organic red peppers in the grocery store.
	They're like individually shrink-wrapped, almost $5 each some places.
	It's crazy.
	I mean, think about how much money you're growing by planting red peppers and growing them organically.
	You're growing, you know, you could be growing $100 worth of peppers right there easily.
	So it makes economic sense.
	Right.
	Yeah, that's...
	I'm just seeing on our end, our increase of sales in the last two to three years has gone up 5,000%.
	So it's the...
	You know, the desire of everyone wanting to learn how to garden more, but also understanding the importance of having your own seeds and not just relying on other people or the restaurants or the grocery stores.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, the hybrid seeds that are out there, they're sold at the hardware stores very often.
	I think it's kind of a scam in a way because their seeds aren't viable generation after generation, which forces you to go back and keep buying their seeds.
	It's like a repeat purchase being forced upon you.
	Well, I don't want to grow anything that I can't save the seeds on and perpetuate multiple generations because I don't know what's going to happen in society.
	I mean, I want food I can count on.
	Not to mention that a lot of the hybrid seeds that are originated with chemicals and pesticides and are started out being grown with everything genetically modified.
	So it's never even originally started out with the good genetics at the beginning.
	Yeah, that's a really good point.
	Absolutely.
	All right.
	Well, this has been a fascinating discussion, and I'm just thrilled that we're partnering with you because I've been a fan of your products here for a couple of years.
	I just want to remind folks they can get your products at healthrangerstore.com.
	We have three different products available, including this backyard seed kit.
	We have the all-in-one vegetable seed kit, and then the Prepper's special five-pack for the price of four.
	Anything else you want to add, Alex, before we wrap this up?
	I just want to encourage everyone who's listening, Like I had said before, that if you're an expert gardener and you have gardened your whole life, thank you and continue growing and saving the heirloom seeds.
	And if you're new and just to encourage you that just start small and increase little by little and just to gain a more understanding of the importance of seeds in our future and how valuable they are going to become very soon.
	That's right.
	This is the sustainability of human civilization we're talking about here.
	And these seeds are miracles from God and Mother Nature.
	And these plants synthesize medicinal molecules for free that can help prevent degenerative disease just because of the nature of healing foods and human physiology.
	These foods are growing medicines.
	That's why the pharmaceutical industry sometimes goes to the plant world and tries to mimic those molecules to make patented drugs.
	But you can grow many medicinal phytonutrients essentially for free.
	So it's a beautiful thing.
	We wouldn't be here without seeds, that's for sure.
	Maybe the next interview we can be in the greenhouse or out in the garden actually doing some hands-on Okay, yeah.
	If you can get the bandwidth working, I'd love to do that.
	I'll still be in the studio here, but maybe I'll film some B-roll of my chickens or something like that.
	That'll be milking our cow.
	Yeah, I can film my chickens eating these grub worms that we produce, and the chickens go crazy over the worms, let me tell you.
	That's pretty wild.
	Well, thank you, Alex.
	Great to talk with you again.
	We're thrilled to partner with you, and thank you for all that you do to help get seeds in the hands of people.
	Yeah, thank you so much, Mike, and the Health Ranger store, and Brighteon, and for all the listeners.
	All right.
	Thank you so much, Alex.
	Have a great rest of your day.
	We'll talk again soon.
	Okay, you too.
	Thanks.
	All right, and thank you for watching and thank you for your support.
	Again, you can get these seeds at healthrangerstore.com.
	They are in supply right now.
	The shipping is happening right away.
	There's not a backlog at the moment, but you can imagine that situation could change based on, you know, food supply panic or whatever happens in the world, oil supply panic, who knows.
	Anyway, it's good to have these.
	Get yourself a seed vault, essentially.
	Get it in your possession.
	Have it in your house.
	Have it in storage.
	Keep it cool and dry.
	And you will be sitting on a potential gold mine of food and also seeds for barter.
	So add it to your stockpile of whatever else you have.
	Gold, silver, ammo, diesel fuel.
	I don't know what you have.
	Emergency medicine.
	Make sure you've got a good supply of garden seeds.
	And thank you for your support.
	I'm Mike Adams here, the founder of Brighteon.com.
	God bless you all.
	Take care.
	We've got a lot of new products now available in stock at healthrangerstore.com.
	Let me walk you through some of these.
	First of all, the butter powder that's in the number 10 can there, that's been out of stock for a long time.
	We have it back.
	It's certified organic, laboratory tested.
	An amazing preparedness item in that number 10 can.
	And then on top of that, you can see the apples.
	Those are freeze-dried apples, not whole apples, but pieces that are also, of course, lab-tested, certified, organic.
	Great for long-term storage, rich in fiber and also vitamin C, which is missing from a lot of people's stored food.
	In the capsule bottles there in front, we have the brain support, which is MagPlus, which is a form of magnesium, plus Bacopa for cognitive support.
	Purple barley in the pouch right next to it there, just to the right.
	Purple barley, which of course has extra anthocyanins in the barley.
	And then we've got this organic blueberry vanilla pancake mix.
	This is a newer item and it's really delicious.
	It's sweetened with organic coconut sugar.
	And it's got organic blueberries, vanilla powder, pink Himalayan salt, coconut flour.
	This is really amazing.
	A lot of people love this mix.
	Look at that photo, too.
	It looks super, super delicious.
	Great job on that.
	And then, finally, we also have, back on my desk, we have now gluten-free mega buckets.
	That's the orange label there on that bucket.
	It's kind of covered up by the blueberry vanilla.
	But that's a gluten-free version of the Mega Bucket.
	If you're, of course, looking to avoid gluten, you can check that out.
	Now, back to our website, healthrangerstore.com, we have a whole new store.
