BBN, Feb 3, 2023 - USA bombs Syria in latest ESCALATION toward World War III
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to this Emergency Brighton Broadcast News for Saturday, February 3rd, 2024.
I'm recording this because, of course, the United States has unleashed a massive bombing campaign, not against Iran, by the way, whom they claim is responsible for the drone attack on U.S. service members in Jordan, which is also a lie.
But instead, the bombings have targeted Syria for some reason.
It's like, we say Iran bombed us, and so we're going to attack Syria.
What?
So this is another illegal war, an undeclared war, by the way, and no congressional approval.
Totally illegal.
And the Syrian government had nothing to do with the attacks on the U.S. service members.
Whom, again, the U.S. claims were attacked in Jordan, but we don't even think that's true either.
We think they were hit in Syria, but not by the Syrian government.
They were hit by militia groups, probably.
So there are so many things to unpack here, but let's cover the facts first, at least as best we know them.
So long-range bombers flew from the United States.
These are the B-1 stealth bombers.
They have a very long range and they refueled in flight.
They hit more than 85 targets, according to what the media is reporting, using more than 125 precision munitions.
And they claim that they bombed command and control operation centers, intelligence centers, rockets, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicle storage, logistics and munitions supply chain facilities of militia groups and their IRGC sponsors. logistics and munitions supply chain facilities of militia groups and Okay.
First of all, when they say they struck command and control operations centers, okay, that's the goat shack out back.
Behind some dude's house, okay?
So they bombed a goat shack.
The shack itself is worth less than the price of the bomb by a long shot.
So the U.S. is dropping probably like a quarter of a million dollar bombs or maybe two million dollar precision munitions to hit goat shacks and things like that and sheds, garden sheds, okay?
So when they say intelligence centers, it's like some guy's garage, okay?
When they say, unmanned aerial vehicle storage, that's also some guy's garage.
That's like the guy's garage next door.
I mean, this is such theater.
I mean, it's dangerous theater, don't get me wrong.
This is highly escalatory.
But the strikes are not going to stop anything in Syria.
This is for show.
This is to make more money for the weapons companies in the United States and to try to make Joe Biden look tough, like he's punching back at corn pop, or in this case, Syria pop.
That's what this is.
It's theater and, of course, weapons, money laundering operations.
I mean, it's a racket.
War is a racket, and this is no different.
It's an illegal war.
Not approved by Congress.
They're not really taking out any actual weapon systems or actual infrastructure.
They're blowing up shacks and garages and some dudes' homes and maybe a couple of buildings here and there.
And they're hitting dirt.
It's like, Team America!
F yeah!
You know?
That's what this is.
And it's designed to trick the American people into thinking that America's strong.
We're so strong.
Let me tell you.
Within 72 hours after the bombing stops, whatever it does, all these groups are going to wheel their rockets right back out from underneath their underground shelters, which are largely unaffected by this, and they're going to keep on firing at U.S. military bases, okay?
And yes, by the way, the U.S. is killing some civilians and some militants in Syria.
Okay, there are going to be casualties of militants, casualties of civilians, innocent people dead.
The U.S. does not give a crap about any of that.
And the U.S. leadership is talking about, we're going to defend America, you know?
This is our duty to defend America.
Well, what are you doing about the wide open border then, huh?
I mean, this is over three service members being killed there?
What about the 60,000 Americans every year that are being killed by fentanyl overdoses because of the wide open border?
What about all the people being raped and murdered and carjacked in cities, in Washington, D.C., in New York City, L.A., because of the illegals?
Oh, well, you know, the administration doesn't want to do anything about that.
No, no, no.
We only defend Americans when they're overseas, where they shouldn't be.
We never defend Americans if they're at home, where they should be.
You know, apparently.
So, are you seeing, by the way, the escalation doom loop here?
Because this is what I've been talking about for a couple of weeks.
You know, we saw...
Let's back up.
So, Hamas attacks Israel on October 7th, but at least partly a false flag operation.
Israel starts bombing the crap out of Gaza soon after and continues bombing for over 100 days now, killing 25,000 plus women and children and civilians and also some Hamas mixed in there, maybe a couple thousand Hamas in there.
The Houthis get angry.
They start firing rockets and drones at ships to effectively achieve a naval blockade.
Of the Red Sea, which is already having huge implications for global supply chains and global trade.
By the way, it's a selective naval blockade because if your ship is like a Russian ship or a China ship, no problem.
Or a ship from other countries, no problem.
They're targeting ships that have to do with Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
That's pretty much it.
All the others can go right on through.
So it's a selective naval blockade.
So the U.S. gets mad about that, launches some bombs and missiles at some useless targets in Yemen, targets that have already been bombed, you know, half a dozen times previously, mostly by Saudi Arabia for the last seven years because the Saudis have been at war with the Yemen Houthis.
Well, I know the Houthis, that's not even exactly the correct name, but I can't remember the guy's name that it should be, so I'm just going to say Houthis.
Always difficult with these Middle Eastern names, I apologize.
So the U.S. did a little theater there, blew up some stuff, and said, take that, Hooties!
And the Hooties responded by launching more drones and rockets at more cargo ships.
And the U.S. was like, we can't do anything!
And then, because nobody likes the U.S. showing its presence in this area, the bully empire of the United States of America with its bully nation, Navy, in the waters there, so militia groups in other regions like Iraq and Iran and maybe Jordan, maybe Syria, maybe Afghanistan, They get reminded how much they don't want U.S. military bases in their countries.
For example, Syria, where the U.S. has no permission to have a military base whatsoever.
The Syrian government has told the U.S. to leave and the U.S. refuses.
It says, no, we're going to stay here because we have guns and we think we can outgun you.
And so then militia groups that are watching...
Fellow Arabs die in Gaza, get so enraged across the region that they start attacking US military bases that shouldn't even be there.
And that's how we ended up with the so-called drone attack that killed U.S. service members there, reportedly in Jordan.
Although, again, I don't even think that's true.
And how did it kill three service members and wound 30-plus if it's just a drone?
Because I haven't seen any drone that does that kind of damage.
I think that was more like a ballistic missile.
And I think it was a missile fired by Iran, is my guess, actually.
And that the U.S. media and the U.S. military just doesn't want to admit that.
And you notice, they're not striking Iran.
Now, this is a key point to understand.
Of all this bombing that's going on, look how badass we are!
Team America!
Yeah!
Dropping bombs!
Dropping loads of bombs!
And...
Bombing all these targets in the area, they did not bomb Iran.
You know why?
Because the more sober-minded individuals at the top of the Pentagon, there are a few still there, they've already done the math and they've come to realize that the U.S. can't beat Iran.
And the U.S. doesn't want to provoke Iran to launch all its missiles and start sinking U.S. naval vessels and destroying cities in Israel.
That's why the U.S. isn't bombing Iran.
Iran is very powerful, very strong.
So the U.S. is doing this theatrical operation and bombing probably some innocent goat farmers out in the countryside who had like a goat shack that the U.S. said, well, that's an intelligence operations gathering center.
You know, what are they doing?
Like secret goat language?
Oh, my God, we broke the code!
Bomb it!
You know?
That's how ridiculous this is.
They're just wasting U.S. taxpayer dollars, putting on this show of theater, While the Western media lies about the whole thing, but in reality, the U.S. military is terrified of doing any actual military campaign in the Middle East because they know that they would be defeated.
Just as the IDF is being defeated in Gaza, believe it or not.
The IDF is having to pull out and evacuate whole units.
I don't know what the unit is.
Divisions or whatever.
They're pulling them out of there.
They're taking so many casualties and then Hamas is taking over again and moving back into the North Gaza.
The IDF somehow couldn't even defeat Hamas, even though Hamas were trapped in this giant prison camp that is Gaza.
And even then the IDF couldn't defeat them.
Well, the U.S. can't defeat Yemen by just bombing it.
The U.S. can't defeat Yemen.
Syria?
By bombing Syria?
I mean, you can just keep bombing over and over and over again.
Guess what?
Those people know how to build underground storage bunkers.
And where do you think all the rockets are, huh?
Where do you think all the drones are?
Where do you think all the ammo is?
It's underground!
All your puny little missile bombs aren't going to affect that.
Unless you're going to be dropping, like, bunker busters or something.
Then, yeah, they have some depth.
But this was like a fireworks show for the American people.
That's what this was.
It did not interdict any real issues.
Weapons supply chains or rocket launchers or intelligence centers or anything that matters.
And if the U.S. really wanted to take out, let's say, Yemen or Syria, well, why don't you land half a million soldiers in there and go at it on foot?
Oh, yeah, we already tried that and we got our asses handed to us and under Biden, you know, evacuated from Afghanistan and fled the Kabul airport.
Just like running away like cowards, leaving behind billions of dollars in military equipment that has now fallen into the hands of the very same militia groups that were now bombing, or supposedly bombing.
The U.S. knows it can't defeat any of these countries in a land war.
The U.S. doesn't have the capability any longer.
This is what the CIA guy said the other day.
Remember when I said I thought he was quoting me or something, because I came out and I said, the world is no longer afraid of America.
And then the very next day, the CIA chief came out and he said, I forgot the words he used, he said that basically America no longer enjoys absolute global dominance or something like that.
He used some strange phrase.
But he was saying the same thing.
Let me tell you, the Middle East is no longer afraid of America.
And this bombing by America, this will not stop a damn thing in the Middle East.
It's not going to stop the Houthis from harassing the vessels in the Red Sea.
It's not going to stop the attacks on American military bases, especially in those countries where America shouldn't even be present in the first place.
And you can rest assured that it's not going to strike fear into the hearts of the people of Iran.
They're looking at this bombing campaign and probably saying, is that all America can do?
Is that it?
That's all you got?
Oh my God!
By the way, do you realize that Iran has not actually tried to do much of anything in this whole thing?
They haven't really launched...
I mean, maybe they launched a missile that took out the US service members, but that was just...
I mean, if they did that, that was just a warning to tell the US that they have precision-guided ballistic missiles.
That's all.
communication.
Remember how I said during the Ukraine Russian war, I said that artillery is a form of communication.
Artillery sends a message and the message is leave this area.
That's, that's, that's the message.
And if you don't get the message, you know, you, you die.
And if you do get the message, then you leave the area.
And then, you know, that's artillery has accomplished its mission.
Well, precision missiles also send a message, and that message is, and whether they're being launched by Iran or the U.S. or Israel or Hezbollah, whoever's launching them, precision missiles send a message that says, we can hit you anywhere you might be.
We can hit you exactly where we want to.
That's the message.
Meaning, you aren't safe anywhere above ground.
So then, why, again, why hasn't the U.S. bombed Iran?
Especially since Senator Lindsey Graham and other warmongers, even Speaker of the House Johnson, keeps saying, you should bomb Iran!
Bomb Iran!
How come the U.S. didn't do it?
Because Iran sent a message to the U.S., This is what I believe happened.
Iran used a ballistic missile to do a precision strike on US military troops in Syria, not in Jordan, sending a message to the US that we, Iran, we can also hit your ships.
And you notice how the media tells us that this drone strike hit this military base, a U.S. base called Tower 22.
And you notice how they never tell you that Tower 22 is supposed to have all these anti-air defenses, but somehow they all failed.
Notice that?
I wonder why that is.
Well, let's say that the strike actually hit Tower 22.
Then that would mean that Iran has a way to evade America's anti-air defense systems.
Right?
By definition.
Because something got through.
Whether it's a drone or whether it's a missile, whatever it is, it blew up and it killed three Americans and injured 30 plus.
So that means that America's air defenses...
Have been cracked by Iran.
That's a message from Iran saying, hey, you aren't safe in any of your bases.
And if that same technology or defense system is being used by the United States Navy, then your ships aren't safe either.
So you're really seeing a form of communication taking place here.
And what the U.S. said with this bombing in Syria, that's a communication with the American public.
That's actually campaigning for the election.
That's not communicating with Iran.
It didn't really do anything to threaten Iran or even to threaten Yemen or to threaten Syria, for that matter, or Iraq.
All that did was send a message to the voters who are the kind of oblivious, stupid voters who think that Joe Biden is their tough guy in the White House and Joe Biden is going to protect him from, you know, evil IRGC or whatever.
That's what that was.
So don't think that the U.S. bombing did anything to stop the actual military campaigns by opposing forces in the region.
And then Zero Hedge reports, by the way, last week the U.S. Navy saw its closest call yet when a Houthi-launched cruise missile came within a mere mile of the destroyer USS Gravely.
And, you know, it turns out that the anti-air defense has failed there.
And Zero Hedge cites CNN saying that in the past, these missiles have been intercepted by U.S. destroyers in the area at a range of eight miles or more.
But the USS Gravely had to use its close-in weapons system, the CIWS, for the first time since the U.S. began intercepting Houthi missiles late last year, which ultimately succeeded in downing the missile.
So the CIWS is an automated machine gun designed for close-range intercepts.
And it's one of the final defensive lines that the ship has to shoot down an incoming missile when other layers of defense have failed to intercept it.
So this is basically a 20-millimeter gun that's radar-guided.
This is the last line of defense.
So what happened?
How did one drone or rocket or whatever it was, a missile, excuse me, how did it get to within one mile of the USS Gravely?
How did all the other defenses fail?
And let me ask you this.
What happens if the Houthis launch...
50 missiles at once at the USS Gravely.
Or, hear me out, what if the Houthis and Iran launch 100 missiles at the same time, or sort of timing it so they arrive at the same moment?
Then the USS Gravely is, well, gravely destroyed.
It's sinking in its grave.
I mean, it's inevitable.
So, understand that the Houthis haven't even really tried to sink a U.S. ship.
All they've been doing is kind of probing naval defenses, and they've already found out that naval defenses fail.
And Iran is just probing America's defenses of its bases in the region, and Iran is finding out that America has no effective defenses of its bases.
These are probing attacks.
Just to gather information about what are America's defensive capabilities and how will America react?
And now Iran knows and the Houthis know that America will react with theater because that's all it's capable of.
Theatrical explosions.
Oh, look at the beautiful flames and fireballs in the sky.
And the American people are like, oh, like Fourth of July.
It's so impressive.
But in reality...
It's just theater, okay?
So this is just one step in the next stage of where this is going, which is when Iran and the Houthis and maybe Hezbollah, when they decide to actually launch offense to initiate offensive strikes to try to take out U.S. military bases or U.S. Navy ships.
That hasn't happened yet.
But when it does, it's clear that the U.S. will suffer catastrophic losses because its defenses do not work.
I mean, that's the takeaway from this, that nobody in the corporate media is reporting.
Maybe some people in alternative media are saying this.
I mean, there are a lot of sharp minds in alternative media, so I'm sure they're figuring this out.
But in mainstream media, they have no idea what's happening.
They think that America is strong and we're destroying the enemy.
No.
No.
America is engaging in theater while the enemy is basically cracking America's defenses and finding out exactly how weak and vulnerable America's military is in the region.
So, where does this go next?
Well, I mean, there are a lot of factors here, obviously.
But there's going to be a day, I believe, a day that many coordinated attacks in the region take out U.S. military bases and attempt to sink naval vessels.
And this may coincide, would be my guess, with cyber attacks on the United States of America infrastructure, including power grid infrastructure, as well as banking and finance infrastructure.
And possibly with some activation of the terror cells that have already crossed the wide open border and are currently located in the United States.
Because, as you can imagine, the enemies of America realize that they're going to be more effective if they simultaneously attack America through multiple vectors.
They've got the occupying enemy forces already on the ground in America, you know, already all across the country thanks to the open border.
They know our vulnerabilities when it comes to cyber attacks.
They can take down infrastructure.
They can take down...
You know, banking, they can take down power grid here and there.
Maybe not the whole thing, but I mean, they can cause chaos.
And then they can hit naval vessels and they can hit military bases all at the same time in a coordinated attack.
And probably Hezbollah would be attacking Israel at the same time, would be my guess, or soon after.
And the U.S. would be thrust into absolute chaos.
Domestic chaos, you know, military, geopolitical chaos.
And of course, the White House would be in more chaos than usual because they're seemingly incapable of doing much of anything even on a normal day, much less when the world is falling apart.
So my fear is that in response to that, that thing that I just described, that either Israel or the U.S. will get desperate and start using nuclear weapons.
And if they do that, I think Israel will use them first, by the way.
Israel will probably...
Nuke Damascus right out of the Bible.
Israel's got no restraint.
And they don't care how many people they slaughter.
So they're likely to be the first ones to use nuclear weapons.
The U.S. might go along with it.
And if that's the case, then now you're going to invite Russia into the scene.
And Russia has nukes.
And at that point, Russia might decide to nuke Israel.
Russia might decide to nuke the U.S. Navy.
Or Iran might have nukes already mounted on ballistic missiles.
And they might launch multiple nukes against Israel.
And Israel ends up being a smoking radioactive crater that is uninhabitable for three centuries or whatever.
Yeah, that's the cycle of doom that Joe Biden and the Democrats and the State Department have put us on.
You know, the Victoria Nulands, the Jake Sullivans, the Anthony Blinkens.
I mean, it's a nightmare scenario.
They just can't tell Israel to stop bombing civilians in Gaza because that would solve this whole thing.
If Israel would just back down...
And stop bombing civilians in Gaza and just seek a diplomatic solution.
All of this would calm down almost instantly.
But Israel won't back down because, I mean, they're Zionist supremacists.
They think that they have the right given to them by God to kill every Arab in the region and take all their land, you know, greater Israel.
And then the United States thinks that they have the right to just bully the whole world.
They're going to do whatever we want because we can drop the biggest bombs and we have the biggest navy, blah, blah, blah.
So the U.S. isn't going to back down.
The problem is both Israel and the United States are miscalculating the strength of the other nations in the region.
Just like the IDF miscalculated the strength and capabilities of Hamas.
And they're miscalculating the resolve and strength of Turkey, for example.
And Erdogan, and eventually what he's probably going to do.
They've miscalculated Iran's technical achievements in guidance systems and ballistic missiles and probably nuclear weapons as well.
They have vastly underestimated the resolve of Russia and the technical capabilities of Russia.
And they've even underestimated Saudi Arabia, by the way.
Because when Trump was president, the Saudis were our friends.
Now the Saudis hate America and they're one of the BRICS nations and everything's going global de-dollarization, you see.
So, the U.S. and Israel, being sort of overzealous bullies who are overconfident, but yet run by either psychopathic lunatics, that's Netanyahu, or cognitively retarded zombies, that's Joe Biden, they are capable of making gross strategic errors, you know, decision mistakes that That can be catastrophic for not just the region but for themselves.
So America will suffer the consequences and Israel will likely suffer the consequences if the White House and Netanyahu continue down their path of Irrational escalation.
That's the path they've put us on.
This is a doom cycle, a doom loop of escalation.
And this is exactly what I was concerned we were going to see.
And here we are.
Here we are.
Now, you notice the timing of this bombing?
It was timed to commence after the markets closed on Friday.
Why is that?
Because, well...
The stock market is so fragile that all it might take is one breakout of regional war in the Middle East to cause a massive collapse of stock market valuations.
The stock market is all propped up with vapor and plunge protection team, similar things.
So the stock market is not really very stable.
And by timing this attack to commence after the stock market, They know that over the weekend, maybe things will tend to settle down so that when the markets open on Monday, they won't catastrophically plunge.
That's the hope of the establishment.
And they may be right.
They may be right.
I'm not saying the markets will plunge on Monday.
Maybe they'll go up.
Who knows?
Not that I even care.
I don't even watch the markets because I don't have anything in the markets because I know it's a rigged Ponzi scheme.
So why would I participate in that, you know?
But they also know that ultimately the dollar is going to collapse and that the military projection of power is one of the few things that the United States has remaining in its arsenal.
I mean, think about it.
The U.S. can't even really use economic sanctions against Iran because they've already economically sanctioned Iran for almost everything for, you know, 20 years plus or however long it's been.
It's not like you can say, and now all of a sudden all Iranians won't be allowed to buy things on Amazon.
No.
Iran's been sanctioned.
Just like Russia has been sanctioned in every way imaginable, and it's only made Russia stronger.
So when the U.S. had dollar domination or hegemony, the U.S. could use sanctions as a very effective weapon, and they could strike fear into the hearts of other nations and say, well, if you don't do what we want you to do, then we're going to strike you with economic sanctions.
And those other nations would flip out.
But not anymore.
I mean, these days, like Russia, it says, sanctions?
You know, just laughing it off.
What are you going to sanction now?
I mean, sanction toothpaste?
You're going to sanction pencils?
It's insane.
The Russians don't care about U.S. sanctions.
Neither do Iranians.
They don't care about U.S. sanctions.
So, again, you talk about...
What does the U.S. have in its arsenal in order to try to force its will upon the world?
And the answer is, not much left.
Economic sanctions aren't working, the currency is collapsing, the military is all weak, and the propaganda is just laughable.
The White House is a clown show.
Every single day it's a clown show.
So you are watching...
The clown show chapter of the demise of the U.S. Empire.
This is what it looks like.
It's all theater, full of sound and fury, and fireballs in the sky.
But behind it, nah, not much really there.
Now, that's my analysis of the situation.
Now, let me mention a few solutions and also plug a few things that are sponsors but I think are really important because of the ever-increasing risk of World War III. What comes to mind, of course, is backup communications.
Satellite phones, satellite phone store, you know, sat123.com, because we don't know if the cell tower system is going to function or if the power grid is going to function.
So think about what you need to survive...
If the grid goes down and we end up in a nuclear exchange.
For example, I just received...
Finally, it took a while to get here.
I just received another PhilRite piston pump for moving diesel fuel.
And I've decided, by the way, this is my favorite hand-powered pump.
If you want to get one of these, by the way, they're not a sponsor, but it's called PhilRite, F-I-L-L dash R-I-T-E. They spell it, you know, in a funny way, PhilRite.
And you don't want the rotary pump.
I have one of those.
It's not that great.
What you want is the piston pump where you pump it up and down.
It's got a long handle, and you crank the handle.
This thing moves diesel like crazy.
I had one of those in play when we had the deep freeze a couple weeks ago, and I had my forced-to-air diesel heaters, and so I had like 55-gallon drums of diesel, and I was using that piston pump to move diesel into the heaters, and it worked great.
So I bought another one, and it just showed up.
I was really happy.
Now I have a backup piston pump.
But that's the kind of thing they have to think about.
You know, what are you going to do if there's no fuel?
And I think these fill-right pumps, I mean, you should check, but I think you can use them to move gasoline, too, and kerosene, you know, and diesel, and I think you can move engine oil and hydraulic fluid, all kinds of stuff.
I just use it for diesel.
First of all, I don't store gasoline.
I don't play around with gasoline.
That stuff's dangerous.
That stuff just blows up from static, you know?
Diesel doesn't do that, so...
The reason I still have eyebrows is because I don't play with gasoline.
Fireball in your face.
But we all have to think about off-grid solutions that can help us stay in the game here, even if things get crazy.
And of course, off-grid money, right?
Gold and silver.
Goldbacks.
Our affiliate site on that is verifiedgoldbacks.com if you want to learn about what those are.
I think they're great, and they don't need electricity to work, and there's real gold in every goldback, and we confirmed how much is in there.
Make sure you've got backup food supplies, healthrangerstore.com.
We've also got garden seeds there, ARC seed kits, and so on.
But also think about, you know, maybe this weekend, maybe you're going out shopping.
I heard Costco now has some kind of survival food supply system.
I'm not sure what's in it.
I probably wouldn't be very impressed with the ingredients, but just the fact that they're stocking something like that, at least in some stores, tells you that, you know, survival is suddenly on everybody's minds again.
And you saw the German government the other day was telling its citizens to start building bunkers.
That's a new one, huh?
Yeah, I mean, usually the government and the media mocks people who are building bunkers.
But now the situation is so bad, the German government is like, yeah, y'all should probably start building bunkers in your basements and your apartments and have, like, safe rooms.
Yeah, why do you think they're telling people that?
Because the German government, they probably know what's coming.
It's not good.
And don't forget about ammunition, of course, because ammo is going to go up quite a lot this year.
And, you know, I find it interesting that in terms of firearms and ammo, there are firearms that are available right now that you could not get for several years.
I mean, the COVID years.
Like, for example, the MCX rifles from Sig Sauer.
Now, I happen to be a big fan of the MCX rifles because they have folding stocks.
And all the action, like, they don't need a buffer tube, like a typical AR-15, but all the controls are like AR-15s, but because it has a spring and rod system, reciprocating, you know, cycling system that's integrated into the upper, I guess, the upper receiver.
So the MCX, and they have their MCX spear rifles.
I think those are really good rifles, and you just couldn't find them for years.
Now they're available again.
Some of them are even on sales, believe it or not.
I'm like, wow, what?
People aren't buying rifles anymore?
Well, gun sales have been down.
But it's not because people don't want guns.
It's because people are running out of money to buy guns, I think.
Or maybe they're just spending more on ammo now instead of guns.
But either way, I would say that as World War III gets underway, guns are going to become much more difficult to get.
And I would say that ammunition is going to get a whole lot more expensive.
And there are also efforts underway by the Biden regime to try to shut down the Lake City 556 ammo production.
I think that's in Missouri or Arkansas or somewhere like that.
I think it's Missouri.
They're trying to shut it down so that you can't get Lake City ammo, which is pretty affordable, good, consistent quality ammo for training and things like that.
So there are a lot of efforts underway.
I mean, look at the sabotage of the food infrastructure.
A lot of efforts underway to take away the food supply.
Take away ammunition.
And by the way, reminder, during COVID, do you recall that Governor Whitmer of Michigan, she told retail stores that they were banned from selling garden seeds to people.
Do you remember that?
Where you had all these stores like Home Depot, whatever, they had to shut off the garden seed section.
Yeah, that was in Michigan.
I don't know if it happened in other states as well, but that was a dry run for what's coming.
They're going to ban the sale of garden seeds.
So if you don't have seeds, you're in trouble.
I mean, you might not remember that, but that happened.
You can look it up.
You can get garden seeds, of course, don't forget, at our store.
We have the ARC Seed Kits, healthrangerstore.com.
Just make sure you've got at least a good selection of garden seeds.
If you store those properly, they'll last for 10, 15 years, maybe longer, and they have good germination, too.
It's a great investment.
Since when are seeds not a good thing to have around?
Alright, by the way, I'm going to be doing a special interview with Steve Quayle, I think, coming up Monday.
I mean, I'll record it Monday, which means we'll run it Tuesday.
Or maybe I'll interview Steve earlier, depending on how crazy things get in the Middle East.
I might do an interview with him this weekend.
I'll keep you posted about that.
In the meantime, I'll probably be recording some other special reports this weekend, so be sure to check the channel there on brighteon.com.
Also check naturalnews.com.
Be sure to sign up for our email list if you're not already signed up at naturalnews.com because that's where I will be announcing the free downloadable large language model.
The system that we're building right now, we're doing a lot of crunching, of fine-tuning training data for these language models, and we'll be releasing them for free beginning at the end of March.
And remember that we are training, at least the first language model is going to be trained on food, nutrients, herbs, gardening, extraction techniques, permaculture.
Everything related to food production.
And you'll be able to ask it questions.
It's a chatbot.
And you'll be able to download it for free.
Again, run it locally on your own computer.
No internet connection required.
And that's why we're doing it this way.
So that if there is a world war...
And the whole internet goes down.
As long as you have a local computer that you can run, even on a backup generator for a little bit, you can ask it questions.
It's like a knowledge base.
You can ask it about herbs and food and gardening and, I don't know, all kinds of self-reliance and preparedness questions like, you know, how do I build a shelter?
Or how do I sharpen knives if I don't have a sharpening stone?
Or whatever.
I mean, you can ask anything you want.
It may not always have the answer, depending on how technical your question is, but it's surprisingly good at almost anything that you can think of.
So if I can get that out to you before the end of March, I will do so.
I mean, it's possible I can do it mid-March, but I'm just not sure yet.
I don't want to commit to that.
It may be end of March.
Anyway, we're making good progress.
When you support us and you purchase from us or support our sponsors, it gives us resources.
We spend those resources on servers and NVIDIA cards and development teams to do this language model training and other projects.
We're building out the Brighteon Network and so on.
But we give back to you tools that empower you, tools that help set you free, tools that are decentralized.
And that's one of them.
It's a great example.
We call the tool Neo, by the way.
It's a reference to the Matrix, of course.
We call it Neo.
I don't know if that's the final name, but that's what we're using in-house for the moment.
And you'll have that available here again, I guess, in less than two months.
That's good news.
Let's hope the world holds together for that long, huh?
I know some days it's questionable, right?
All right.
Well, use the time wisely.
Get prepared and stay informed.
Keep checking Natural News and BrightTown.com.
Also, don't forget our shows on BrightTown.tv as well.
Thanks for listening.
God bless you all.
Take care.
We've got Tina from the Satellite Phone Store in studio with us today here in Texas.
Welcome, Tina.
Great to see you again.
Yeah, nice to see you too, Mike, and thank you for inviting me.
Absolutely.
Thanks for stopping by.
Okay.
Well, so you're, I mean, people love you and your company and what you offer, and it's been life-saving.
There was a case in the fires on Maui where someone used your satellite phone product to reach, I don't know, make a thousand calls, or what was the deal with that?
Yeah, so one of our customers had a phone, and no one else around him had a satellite phone, so he was able to help and direct approximately 14,000 people with just one satellite phone.
Wow.
So it's amazing, and this is the reason why you've got to have one of these, because this happened here in the United States of America, where, as you know, 5% of the island was on fire, but 95% of the island had no cell service.
It could happen so fast.
It could happen anywhere.
I mean, here, even with the weather, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, anything, or government shutdown, or just about anything, you need to have a satellite phone because that will work.
Now, in fact, let me give out your website, sat123.com, and we really appreciate your support of this network and this platform.
I think I'm mentioning your company all the time because you have such great solutions.
One of those is this.
This is called the Bivy Stick.
This is a two-way satellite text messaging device.
Actually, show the close-up.
There it is on the right-hand side there.
That's the Bivy Stick.
Two-way satellite text messaging from anywhere on the planet, and you offer these with a service plan.
Right, right.
So you could just use your smartphone.
You can put your phone on, like, airplane mode if you're in the middle of nowhere and you need coverage.
As you know, my cell phones work on 7% of the earth.
This will work from 100% of the earth.
It doesn't matter where you are on the planet.
You'll be able to pull out your smartphone, and you'll be able to send and receive text messages from anyone on earth.
That's amazing.
Yeah, you just put your phone on airplane mode and start texting.
So if you have a boat or if you're a hiker, camper, or just want to have one for emergencies.
Or a soldier.
I mean, you know, you've supplied these to some of the folks that are helping to protect the border in Texas.
That's right.
Yeah.
And they use these every day.
Yeah.
Michael Yan uses this.
Yeah.
When he goes down to Panama, he uses it.
That's right.
That's right.
Absolutely.
By the way, thank you for your donations to the groups that are really working to help protect America.
I mean, your company has made a huge difference.
One of the guys that I know who operates in Texas, you know, I had him in studio in shadow.
We couldn't show his face.
But he said that your equipment, your satellite phones, and the bivvy sticks worked better than what the government gave them to use.
Yeah.
I mean, this product, it works, again, from anywhere on Earth.
And you don't even have to stand outside because you can walk away within 10 feet.
So you can put that by a window on the outside.
So if there's a bad storm or if something is happening, you can still use and send out text messages to friends and family inside.
You just need to be within 10 feet away.
I've done that myself.
I don't travel without this.
In fact, this one's from my car.
I always carry it with me.
Now, you've got, I understand, some specials to share with our audience, some short-term discounts?
I do.
And I also want to mention that this, you also get Galileo, which is, Galileo is private messaging from the influencers.
Like, Mike, you sent messages through the bivvy sticks to the followers that you have on Galileo.
Like emergency messages, yeah.
Emergency messages.
So those are really nice to have, too.
As Steve Quayle sends and Doug Hagman and so on.
Yeah.
There's, I think, about 40 influencers that send messages.
And let me just add, you know, I haven't sent a lot of messages, but as things deteriorate in society, I'll be using that more and more, especially as systems start to break down out there, like electricity or food distribution or banking or whatever.
I'm going to be hammering people with intel messages that they can receive on this.
Right.
And that's $65.99 a month.
And that includes unlimited texting.
So you can send and receive unlimited texting.
And it also includes the private messaging that you get from the influencers as well.
Perfect.
Okay.
And those are uncensored.
And what about the phones?
You have the Inmarsat and the Iridium.
Are both of those available right now?
They are.
So all of the three products that you see are going to be free.
The ISAT is $85.99 a month.
Now, the ISAT works on about 90% of the Earth.
It will not work on poles, the South Pole or the North Pole.
Okay, that's the one in the center there.
That's the one in the center, yeah.
But it will work in the whole earth except for the poles.
So if you're not going to go to Antarctica or, you know, down far south, then that will work for you.
Where the iridium is 100% global coverage.
So that's the one that Santa Claus uses then?
That's the one that Santa Claus uses, yeah.
Is he in the North Pole or the South Pole?
I forget.
Yeah, I forget.
I think he's in the North Pole.
Yeah, or both during the summer.
So Santa's elves are using the Iridium phone also to communicate with the boss.
Right.
So the Bivy Stick uses Iridium network.
So you've got 66 satellites that that uses.
There are low-orbit satellites, so that's how they're able to cover the whole globe.
So the Iridium phone, the one that's standing, uses the Iridium network.
And then the MRSAT, they have three geostationary satellites, and they're right around the equator.
So that's the reason why if you go far into the poles away from the equator, you will not get reception.
I see.
But everywhere else on Earth, it will cover.
And what do you have, what's the cost of the iridium?
So the cost of the Iridium, they're about $1,300.
We are giving them away for free.
You do need to sign up for $95.95 a month, and it's a 24-month agreement, and then you own the Iridium phone.
After the 24 months are up, then you're just month to month, and you can also change your plan if you choose to.
And the minutes roll over, right?
The minutes roll over, yeah.
So you can save them up for the next emergency or whatever happens.
And I think that's what happened with the fellow that was in Hawaii.
He had a boatload of minutes, and so his bill was still the same, using all those minutes.
And it wasn't just him.
We noticed that there were thousands and thousands of minutes being used during the fires in Hawaii from all of our customers that did have The satellite phone.
And we did receive a lot of emails that that was a lifesaver during the time that they needed it most.
Some people said they've had it for seven years and they've never used it.
And that one time it was worth the effort.
Yeah.
Because it was a lifesaver.
They were able to call and locate their families.
And connect with their families when the kids were at school and the moms were at work and they found ways and they had the satellite communication where they can go and find their kids.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
That makes it worthwhile.
Okay, so the website is sat123.com.
That's the satellite phone store.
And given sort of where things are headed right now, there's a lot of talk about secession or civil war or world war, things like that.
A lot of people are fleeing different areas of the world right now.
For example, I mean, many Israelis have left Israel because of what's happening.
A lot of them in northern Israel had to leave by order of the government.
For example, many people in America are leaving violent cities because of the uncontrolled crime and the defunding of police and so on.
We have the open border situation.
You know, there's chaos in Europe.
There's protests.
Farmers are protesting.
I mean, people need to be able to stay in touch, even on the road, even when mobile and mobile.
I don't remember a time in my life when the situation was as chaotic as we're seeing right now.
What are your thoughts?
Right, yeah.
And I agree with you.
When you have a satellite phone, a lot of people say, well, who am I going to call?
If I have a satellite phone and my loved one doesn't have a satellite phone or kids or family, well, so far what we've seen, Mike, in emergencies, like with hurricanes and everything, you can call any cell phone.
Yes.
But if the whole world's grid went down, you both do have to, both people or friends and family.
But normally people are using a satellite phone to call somebody else on a regular mobile phone in some other area where the cell towers are working.
Or a landline.
They can call a landline.
Yeah.
And the other, I think there's a movie out right now, the other question that's coming up a lot, where they went to use a satellite phone and it didn't work.
I think it's on, have you heard of the movie?
It's The End of the World.
I haven't seen it, but we are getting a lot of questions.
Oh yeah, that new Netflix.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I did see that.
Yeah, so all I want to say is that the last thing on Earth that would ever go down in communication, it is going to be the satellite phones.
You literally would have to take down the satellites to have the satellites not work, and that would be the last thing, I think, in communication that would actually go down.
So these are the most...
I mean, the U.S. government uses the networks.
The senators, the Pentagon uses the iridium network.
I mean, I would argue largely it's up there for military use.
And then the civilian use is kind of an afterthought.
Yeah.
It was pretty much created for the military, right?
Iridium was bought out so that they can keep the military communications going by Iridium years ago, and initially that's what it was, but recently it has become available for an average consumer like me.
I want a satellite phone to have with me because you never know, and I want my...
My son and my husband, my sisters, we all have satellite communication.
If something happens, we want to be able to communicate with each other to make sure that we're all okay.
Absolutely.
We also have a communication drill twice a year, on the 1st of January and on June 1st.
We all get together and everybody takes out their satellite equipment and we all call each other to make sure that everybody knows how to use their communication.
Because the last thing you need...
Like if the grid went down and you're like, oh, how do I call my wife or what's my wife's number or, you know, husband or whatever.
So we do encourage everyone if you do have, if your family, you and your family have satellite communication to make sure that everybody knows how to use them.
That's a really good point because there are also different ways to dial, like to dial a satellite phone.
You enter a different prefix versus dialing somebody's cell phone and you need to know country codes if you're calling obviously somebody in another country.
But what I love what you've done with the satellite phone store, you really innovated making it affordable because a lot of people can't shell out like $1,300 up front and then service fees on top of that.
But you made it to where it's just one monthly fee that's under $100.
You eventually own the phone itself as you fulfill the number of months required.
But you get minutes every month too and the minutes roll over and you can save them up.
I mean, nobody else that I know of, Did that?
Yeah.
I mean, you really revolutionized the satellite phone industry.
Yeah.
Yeah, no one else does that.
Everywhere else, if you want to go and get that Iridium phone, it's going to be approximately $1,500 with tax and everything.
And then plus, you have to pay another $1,000 for the service for one year where, you know, we've made it simple for the MRSAT phone, which is pretty much 90% of the people can go with an MRSAT phone if you don't live in the polls.
That's only $85 a month.
And that's only a 15-month agreement because that's kind of like where the break-even point for us is.
So we're kind of like trying to set it up so that we don't also lose money.
But that's the break-even point.
But the majority of the people, once they get one, they don't want to be without one anymore.
So our customers tend to stay with the service for many, many years.
Yeah.
Well, that's great.
I hear a lot of positive feedback from our audience that it helps them feel safer when they're traveling.
People take it with them in their carry-on baggage on airplanes in case there's a problem somewhere, especially traveling.
Maybe you don't have family nearby.
You don't have a house or whatever.
You need emergency comms.
People take them on hikes.
We already mentioned the soldiers.
Even like border patrol people and so on.
So there are a thousand uses for it.
And like I said, I won't travel without them.
Both the bivvy stick and a sat phone in my vehicle.
Yeah.
Recently, some of our travelers went to Acapulco, and they took the satellite phone with them, and they're like, yeah, I take it with me everywhere, and I never use it.
And man, did they ever need that.
They got hit with a—they went to bed.
It was a tropical storm.
The next morning, it was— Cat 5, wasn't it?
Cat 5.
Yeah, and all cell towers, everything was down, and they were able to use their satellite phone to get help and to try to get out of there.
So that was, we got a lot of stories.
We got a lot of our customers, you know, emailing us and telling us that, yeah.
So you never know.
That's the thing.
The situation can change dramatically, very rapidly.
And I would say to our audience, I think one of the big risks right now is the civil unrest following infrastructure collapse, which could include banking infrastructure.
You know, if the banks shut down or if the, like the SNAP, you know, food stamp cards stop working for 72 hours, you know, what's the average American city going to look like?
It's going to be chaos and, you know.
It's going to be a very difficult situation.
You don't want to be near that, and you want to have backup comms.
Yeah.
We do get a lot of questions on that.
Also, I'm glad you brought that up, Mike.
People tell us, well, you know, what if the banking system did go down?
How am I going to pay my bill?
Are you going to turn me off?
The answer is no.
We're not going to turn anyone off.
If the banking system or if the grid went down, we're going to wait it out.
If things come back to normal three or four months later, we'll settle the bill at that time.
But we're not going to turn people off if the grid did go down.
I'm glad you mentioned that.
Yeah, that is a question that people ask me, too.
So you got that, folks?
Even if the banks go down and all the credit cards stop working, the satellite phone store is not going to disconnect your service.
No.
No, we're not going to do that.
That's good to know.
Yeah.
We've got to have a business when things come back.
So we're not going to do that.
Yeah, and it's funny you mentioned three to four months.
I mean, that's an interesting guess.
You know, I interview a lot of people, and some people think the outage that's coming might only be two weeks, and other people think it's two years.
Yeah, well, if it's two years, it's two years.
We wait it out, and when things get back to normal, we'll settle the bill at that point.
Can you imagine a two-year comms outage?
That would be insane, yeah.
Yeah, oh my goodness.
Especially for the youth in America, I don't think they can handle a two-minute outage of Wi-Fi.
No, yeah.
It's not working.
Yeah, my son lost his phone and he didn't call me.
I'm like, why didn't you call me?
He's like, well, how am I going to get your number?
I lost my phone.
I'm like, really?
You don't remember people's numbers.
Hey, Rhodey, how you doing?
Rhodey likes to say hello.
Hi, Rhodey.
How you doing, Ro?
What you up to, yeah?
This is also an emergency infrastructure augmentation being right here.
Like, when the cell towers go down, I'm pretty sure...
He will still be active as well.
Yeah, he can manage.
I think he'll be just fine.
Yeah.
He'll actually be happy.
He'll get more attention.
Hey, have you seen the baby sticks?
What do you think?
Okay, they passed the sniff test.
Yeah.
There we go.
Okay.
All right.
Whoa.
All right.
Good job, Brody.
Hold on.
Well, thank you, Tina.
Sorry.
That's okay.
He gets crazy around this time.
He's like, it's time to go play.
But thank you for being here.
Thank you for bringing things.
Thank you for what you do and for helping so many of our customers.
Thank you so much for having me.
I also want to mention that we are going to keep these prices up for one week.
Oh.
These are a little bit more discounted than normal.
Okay.
Yeah, so they're about 10% to 15% less than what we normally put them out there for.
So we are going to leave them up there for one week.
All right, then, depending...
After this is here.
Because we may run this from time to time for a few weeks.
So I'll just tell the audience, check the prices at sat123.com.
Yeah, yeah.
But move quickly if you want to get the specials.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we'll leave them for one week after this is...
It goes on.
Okay.
All right.
Sounds good.
Thank you, Tina.
Yeah, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for having me.
Beautiful studio.
Oh, yeah.
We love it here.
I appreciate you coming by.
So thank all of you for supporting our sponsors, such as the Satellite Phone Store, and for supporting this platform, brighteon.com.
Rhodey's going to drag me out of here in just a minute.
It's ring time, as you can see.
Here he is.
Look at that.
It's time to go.
So thank you for watching today.
Take care, everybody.
Be well.
Thank you, Tina.
Thank you so much.
