	Well, we have a real treat for you today.
	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Tuesday, March 12th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And we are joined for the interview today by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.
	This is my first interview with Mr.
	Johnson, and I found him to be not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very gracious and really intriguing to speak with.
	And I think he's up for a follow-up interview as well.
	By the way, this interview is conducted as part of Decentralized TV. So it was actually really great because my co-host of that show, Todd Pitner, joins me.
	And it's the three of us, well, Todd and I, getting to ask questions of Larry Johnson.
	And I think that format really works.
	And I think you'll find this interview to be quite fascinating.
	We talk about Ukraine and Russia.
	We talk about the Middle East.
	We talk about the U.S. elections, the decline of the U.S., the overzealous police state regime and lots of interesting things.
	You know, I find that sort of the retired CIA guys are some pretty good dudes, actually.
	Of all the retired CIA guys that I've either spoken with privately or have interviewed, such as Ray McGovern, for example, Every one of them has been disgusted with the direction America has gone.
	And I think that indicates that, let's say, 25 years ago, the CIA was more of a white hat operation, and today it's really a black hat operation.
	The CIA has been weaponized against America, and frankly, a lot of the old CIA guys see that, and they agree with that assessment.
	By the way, these days I have to check the prices of gold and Bitcoin every day before doing this podcast.
	It's no joke.
	There's so many things happening.
	And Bitcoin has just, of course, skyrocketed from, let's see, the end of February.
	What was that?
	Like three weeks ago, it was $51,000 and now it's $72,000.
	And of course, gold is about to break through $2,200 an ounce.
	It's still hovering around $2,180 or so.
	And this indicates, of course, the dollar is collapsing.
	Now, Bitcoin, of course, I think the gain in Bitcoin is tied to two things.
	Number one, the ETFs, obviously.
	So there's a lot of institutional investors that are jumping into Bitcoin, which, frankly, is exactly what a lot of the Bitcoin proponents had said would happen.
	You know, if only McAfee were still alive right now, I'm sure he would be very happy to see this.
	He would say, I told you so.
	Although, you know, timing is the difficult part, but apparently he's not around anymore.
	At least that's what we're told.
	But the other thing that I think is happening with both gold and Bitcoin, this is just my opinion, by the way, is that the people who have money, who have real assets and who are in the know, are fleeing the dollar.
	I'm convinced that that's happening because of, well, lots of factors in many private conversations, some with extremely wealthy individuals and so on, and some not so wealthy.
	It doesn't matter, but it's just people who know what's going on are getting out of the dollar, and there aren't that many places to go.
	There really aren't.
	Some people love the idea of gold.
	They love that, you know, it's physical.
	It'll work even when everything crashes, even if there's a Mad Max collapse scenario, even if the power grid goes down.
	You know, gold works.
	Gold's real.
	I understand that.
	I totally get that.
	That's why I like gold, too.
	And then there's other people who say, well, crypto is the way to go because it's got a lot of upside.
	You know, gold's not going to double, they say.
	Although, they might be wrong.
	Gold may very well double.
	If Peter Schiff is right, we'll see.
	Gold could double.
	But they say, well, crypto's going to double more quickly.
	And crypto could more than double.
	Crypto could go up, you know, 10 times or what have you.
	Okay, well...
	Yes, I mean, crypto has its own advantages.
	It's very portable.
	It's electronic, obviously.
	It can't be counterfeited by governments, but then again, neither can gold.
	And crypto is highly divisible, but then there are forms of gold that are as well, like goldbacks is highly divisible, not down to the Satoshi level, obviously.
	But, you know, one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold, that's what's in a goldback, so that's pretty divisible.
	So the way I look at this, folks, is very simple.
	Crypto and gold, and when I say gold, I also sort of mean silver.
	So precious metals and crypto, they both have their applications.
	They both have advantages.
	And...
	If I were advising somebody about preparing for the financial collapse of the dollar and the Western banking system, I would say, look at both.
	Look at precious metals and look at crypto.
	And by the way, I'm not a huge fan of Bitcoin per se.
	I actually prefer Monero because of the privacy features of Monero.
	And Monero tends to climb along with Bitcoin.
	I'm not huge about holding a lot of Bitcoin, although I am happy to see Bitcoin climbing in value.
	I really am.
	And did you know that the global market capitalization, or let's say the total value of all Bitcoins, if you were to add them up at the current high price, that that exceeds the global silver market?
	It has surpassed silver in terms of total known global assets.
	But then again, with silver, I guess that's just the silver that's above ground, you know, the silver that's been mined at the moment.
	There's a lot more silver that has not yet been mined, but then you could say, well, there's a lot more Bitcoin that hasn't been mined either, although that's a digital mining, and the Bitcoin halving is coming up, which is a big deal.
	Anyway, my point is, I would look at both.
	And I do, and I practice what I preach.
	I believe in precious metals, and I'm very happy to see crypto skyrocketing at this point.
	And I don't think that this is just a FOMO speculative bubble.
	And it might surprise some of you to hear me say that, because a few years ago, When it was a big speculative bubble, before FTX, that whole SBF fraud, Sam Bankman fraud, as he's now known, before that whole collapse happened, the whole crypto marketplace was just everybody losing their minds.
	FOMO, you know, we're all going to be billionaires and sell everything, buy crypto.
	And then the whole thing collapsed.
	And that's when Bitcoin created from, what was it at the time, $69,000 down to...
	I don't know, 20 something thousand or wherever it went.
	I think it went below.
	Yeah, it hit like $18,000 at some point.
	It was a bubble.
	It was a speculative bubble.
	Now, when I look at crypto, I don't see it in the same light as a bubble.
	I see it as a practical alternative to the failing Western currencies.
	And I also see Bitcoin as having two key properties that the banking system does not have and that no government has and that no national currency has.
	Number one is the non-confiscate ability.
	Very difficult for governments to take your Bitcoin.
	Very difficult.
	They can't, really.
	All they can do is they can try to block your wallet ID if they can figure out what that ID is, which they can.
	But good luck blocking Monero.
	Good luck trying to find out your wallet ID on Monero or some of the other privacy crypto coins that we cover as well.
	You're not going to have much luck with that.
	The second thing, and this is probably even more important, is the fact that it can't be counterfeited by governments.
	Think about why is the dollar collapsing right now?
	It's because it can be counterfeited by the US Treasury or the Federal Reserve working with the Treasury.
	That's why it's losing value.
	That's why it's a racket.
	It's a fraud.
	The dollar is a fraud.
	It's a currency backed by nothing and printed into oblivion by a government And a central bank that they don't care about the common person, the worker, the saver, the producer.
	All they care about is having more power for themselves and they create that power by printing money, which is a form of counterfeiting.
	They're stealing from you.
	No nation can counterfeit Bitcoin.
	And that property alone...
	It means that Bitcoin and, by extension, other top cryptos like Monero, have a utilitarian property that cannot ever be matched by any national currency.
	And this is why the BRICS nations, by the way, we covered this last week, why Russia is announcing that the new BRICS international settlement system will be based on a blockchain.
	Much like Bitcoin.
	In other words, a distributed ledger where the values are locked in so nothing can be retroactively changed or counterfeited or falsified.
	It'll be distributed among all the partners that actually use that system.
	And remember the TASS Russian News Agency announcement is specifically mentioned that this BRICS blockchain system will be used to carry out settlements by three different types of parties.
	Remember this?
	Governments Corporations and everyday users.
	And when I read that, I said, wow!
	Wow!
	Where do I sign up?
	I would love to participate in a system that no government can counterfeit, that can be used for international settlements, probably within a matter of seconds, if not maybe just a few minutes for the blockchain to finish confirmations, let's say.
	But a system that can't be rigged and stolen by Western governments, and a system that can't be weaponized against you by the Western governments.
	Like, how quickly can I sign up for this thing, please?
	You know?
	Really?
	So I actually think that it's clear to me Bitcoin is easily going to go over $100,000 quite soon, and it's, what is it now, $70-something thousand.
	Does that mean I'm buying Bitcoin?
	No, I don't speculate in Bitcoin.
	And I don't encourage anybody to speculate in Bitcoin.
	I think I hold some small amount of Bitcoin at the moment.
	But I don't speculate in it.
	And I'm not going to buy any.
	I'm focused on AI projects and things like that.
	But I don't think Bitcoin is just going to stop at 100,000.
	I think it's going to go much, much higher.
	Now, at some point it could be overbought and it could end up in bubble territory.
	If I see Bitcoin at like 300,000, 400,000, 500,000, you know, depending on what's happening in the world, maybe that's overbought.
	Maybe that's a bubble.
	We won't know until we get there because there's so many factors.
	On the other hand...
	I would not be surprised if within the next five years, Bitcoin actually reaches a million dollars a coin.
	Now, that's not a prediction.
	I'm not predicting that.
	I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked.
	But what would make that happen is the collapse of national currencies.
	Bitcoin could absolutely go 10x.
	Very rapidly, which, what is it, $70,000 now?
	Okay, so could Bitcoin be $700,000 in a panic as the dollar collapses and the euro collapses?
	Yes, I see that as a possibility, but then at that point, what does it mean?
	If Bitcoin is a million dollars per Bitcoin, but the dollar is worth almost nothing, you see the problem here.
	It's like, well, what does it mean?
	You can't really use dollars for anything if they're collapsing, and that's why you have to spend a million of them to buy one Bitcoin.
	Maybe you have to spend $10 million to buy one Bitcoin.
	Maybe at some point it's a billion dollars per Bitcoin because the dollars are worthless, like Weimar Germany, and it costs, I don't know, a million dollars for a sandwich or something.
	Who knows?
	It could absolutely go in that direction.
	So I say...
	We're all going to have to get used to a world where we stop valuing everything in dollars.
	It doesn't make sense to value gold in dollars.
	It makes sense to value gold in ounces or grams.
	Actually, I prefer grams.
	I prefer the metric system.
	Similarly, it makes sense to value Bitcoin in Satoshis or fractions of Bitcoins.
	It's really about how much coinage you have or in gold and silver, how many ounces or how many grams you have.
	It's not about how many dollars you can trade it for because dollars just won't be around much longer.
	So let's start thinking in those terms.
	And that's why when people get all excited about their stocks going up.
	Oh, I have Nvidia stock.
	I have Apple stock.
	I have whatever.
	And look how much dollars it's worth.
	It's worth that many dollars.
	Which, there's a funny line from Idiocracy about that.
	I think when he's trying to check out at the hospital with the Dr.
	Weed or whatever his name was, and he's like, you're unscannable!
	It says this much, and there's all kinds of funny math examples in the movie.
	Well, when people are looking at their stock value and it's going higher and higher, they're like, look at all these dollars, man, on my screen.
	I'm just laughing.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It doesn't mean anything until you get it out of a failing currency and into something that holds value.
	And that's gold and silver and probably some types of crypto and certainly land and certainly ammunition and things like that.
	And by the way, in this whole mixture, don't forget about goldbacks.
	I heard from one of our listeners today who said that there's a group in Australia that's going to get their hands on a bunch of goldbacks and start using them for local trade amongst themselves.
	There's a lot of excitement about goldbacks.
	You can check that out at our affiliate site, verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	You can read about what they are and you can see all my lab tests that determined how much gold they contain and the purity of that gold as well.
	By the way, speaking of lab tests, and we're going to jump into some Trump news here shortly, but speaking of lab tests, it's a funny thing.
	I saw a website of a food company today, a food company that distributes organic food, and their website said that their foods don't have any heavy metals in them because they're clean and they're organic.
	They don't have any heavy metals.
	Of course, I'm laughing because Because it's pretty rare to find any food that doesn't have some countable level of lead, cadmium, arsenic, or mercury.
	Now, most things don't have mercury, by the way.
	That's good news.
	We rarely see mercury.
	We see lead in all kinds of things.
	I mean, you know, spices, right?
	We see lead in turmeric.
	We see lead in ginger.
	We see lead in all kinds of things.
	And I know that if you're harvesting carrots, there's going to be some lead in those carrots.
	Guaranteed.
	You know why?
	Because there's lead in the soil.
	Lead is an element that exists in the soil.
	That's why there's lead in Moringa.
	That's why there's lead in, you know, almost every crop that you grow.
	There's some amount of lead.
	Cacao, for example.
	Or coffee.
	There's a lot of cadmium in coffee.
	Why?
	The coffee plant pulls up a lot of cadmium, it turns out.
	Cadmium happens to be a stimulant, too, even though it's very toxic to your kidneys.
	But if you drink high-cadmium coffee, you're going to get a little extra cadmium kick, by the way.
	It's not all caffeine, folks.
	There's a little cadmium in there giving you a kick.
	A lot of people don't know that.
	Mercury is also a stimulant.
	That's why they use it as medicine back in the 18th century.
	People would smell the mercury vapors.
	You know why?
	Why do they smell mercury vapors?
	Because it made them feel awesome.
	That's why.
	Yeah, you don't think about that.
	You think about mercury's incredibly toxic and no one would want to be near it.
	Yeah.
	Back then, they were like, they were snorting mercury like Hunter Biden's snorting crack.
	Okay.
	Like, give me some mercury vapor.
	And they were poisoning themselves to death, just like people do with heroin and fentanyl and cocaine and whatever else.
	I mean, look, not that much has changed in a couple hundred years, except the molecules are just a lot more intricate now.
	But it's the same concept.
	These crazy stimulants, they can seem like they're giving you extra energy at first, but they're actually killing you.
	Anyway, this company says they don't have any heavy metals in their foods, and I'm laughing because they obviously have no clue what they're talking about because all the stuff they sell has lead in it.
	I'm not even saying it's a concerning level of lead.
	And of course, we have, I think, the most strict limits on lead of anybody in the food and supplements industry.
	Nobody is as strict as we are about lead.
	But even in our lab, we will see things that have like low single digit parts per billion lead.
	That's not uncommon.
	Is that dangerous to you?
	No.
	No.
	Not in food, not in supplements, not in carrots.
	You know why it's not dangerous in carrots and garden vegetables?
	At those very low levels like that, you know why?
	Because carrots have fiber.
	And the fiber carries the lead through your body.
	And it's not that much lead anyway, just a few parts per billion.
	That's not a heavy lead load.
	Now, the story we covered last week about that cinnamon apple puree that the FDA found that had 2,800 parts per million lead, that's not a typo.
	Actually, one of their samples had over 5,000 parts per million.
	That's 5 million parts per billion, by the way.
	So think about that versus five parts per billion.
	You can get cinnamon applesauce at a discount store that would give you a million times more lead than, let's say, getting a carrot freshly grown out of your garden.
	And yes, 5,000 parts per million is very dangerous.
	That would be crazy.
	By the way, if you want to see our limits, just go to LowHeavyMetalsVerified.com and you can see our rating system.
	And we rate foods with anything from A, triple plus to A, B, C, D, and F. And it comes down to the four elements, the concentrations.
	For verified A triple plus, the lead has to be below 25 parts per billion, or 0.025 ppm.
	Cadmium has to be less than 100 parts per billion, which is 0.1 ppm.
	Arsenic has to be less than 0.62 ppm.
	And mercury has to be less than 0.006 ppm.
	That's the highest rating.
	That's the cleanest that we see.
	And there is no rating where everything is zero.
	Where it's zero lead, zero cadmium, zero arsenic, zero mercury.
	You know why?
	You know why there's no such rating for that?
	Because there's actually no such thing in a scientific manner when it comes to food, complex agricultural products.
	If you have a sensitive enough instrument, you will always find at least one atom of lead in it.
	And if you can't see lead, it's just because your instrument's not sensitive enough.
	And so there's a lot of testing companies.
	We talked about all the lab fraud last week, you know, the DNA testing fraud that just got exposed and shut down, where they were making up all these lab results.
	Well...
	If you're a lab, if you're a dishonest lab, and you want to say everything's clean, everything's zero, guess what?
	All you got to do is detune your machine.
	Sensitivity goes to hell.
	Instrument can't see anything.
	Everything's zero.
	All good, you know?
	Yeah.
	Some labs do that.
	Especially pesticide testing.
	It's all zero.
	It's all good.
	So let me just offer this to you as a rule of thumb, and then we'll move on to some Trump news.
	Here's the rule of thumb.
	Assume that every food item contains at least one atom of lead in it.
	That's a pretty safe assumption.
	It's almost always true.
	Then the question should be just how much lead is okay with you or not?
	How much lead do you want to eat?
	If you don't want to eat hardly any lead at all, as close to zero as you can possibly get in today's world, then, well, that's what we do, healthrangerstore.com.
	If you don't care about how much lead you eat, go to the discount store.
	Get their 5,000 part per million cinnamon apple puree for children.
	Yes, you can have all kinds of extra lead for a lot less cost.
	And this brings up kind of the second point of my rule of thumb.
	Here it is.
	Generally, if you want cleaner food, you're going to pay more money.
	Think about it.
	I mean, organics are more expensive than non-organics, but that's just one level.
	Then lab-tested food is typically going to be more expensive than non-lab-tested food.
	But it's a whole spectrum.
	If you want the cheapest, just dirt cheap, like, I don't care what kind of filthy chemicals are in this food...
	Well, that's what the discount stores are for.
	You know, the stores where everything costs $1 or $1.25.
	Yeah, and for young people who are on a budget, that may be the only option they have.
	And no judgment from me.
	Do what you got to do to get by, to survive this very difficult, cruel world.
	I didn't eat healthy when I was 20 either.
	You know, I didn't have any money either.
	I know what it's like to live on a budget.
	To live on the edge of poverty, actually.
	So I know.
	I know what you're talking about.
	But if you've got the resources, you can buy your way to cleaner food.
	You can buy organic.
	You can buy lab tested.
	Or you can go even with us that does, like, mega lab testing.
	You know, with the aflatoxins and the microbiology and everything else.
	So there's a trade-off.
	There's a trade-off.
	Dirty is cheap.
	Clean is expensive.
	Dirty is cheap.
	That reminds me of that album again.
	Was it Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap?
	Yeah, ACDC. There we go.
	Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
	Did you know ACDC is from Australia?
	I'm looking that up right now.
	They're an Australian rock band?
	I had no idea.
	I thought they were hardcore American rockers, but what do I know?
	I guess no one can hear the Australian accent with all the screaming in the lyrics, right?
	It doesn't matter if they're British, Australian, American, Southern, Canadian.
	You can't make out the words anyway.
	Alright, quick update and I need to ask for your help on something.
	I sent out some tweets earlier in the day.
	And I've also posted a couple stories explaining our mission of building the infrastructure of human freedom.
	And I even publicly on X, I said, we want to reach out to the Epoch Times, and also we want to try to find a homeschooling organization.
	And we're offering to build a large language model for free for either the Epoch Times, if they're interested, or if...
	Maybe they're doing their own already.
	Who knows?
	Or a homeschooling group that wants to give us access to their curriculum.
	And then we can build a large language model of their entire curriculum.
	So if you are listening to this and you know somebody that runs a large, like a homeschooling group or a faith-based education group, somebody that has a very large curriculum of training material, teaching material for human beings, we can take that curriculum and And we can transform it into a large language model chatbot tool for you and your staff and your students.
	And we'll do that for free.
	And then we can incorporate your curriculum into our model as well, which will help teach it about things like history, ethics, morality, you know, all the things that hopefully are in the course.
	So if you know anybody...
	Or if you know anybody at the Epoch Times, then reach out to us at situationupdate at protonmail.com.
	And I want to share with you this really important concept that we are actually preserving human knowledge.
	We're kind of like the Arctic seed vault of knowledge, or at least we're attempting to be that for the knowledge areas that are being targeted for termination by the establishment.
	You notice how during COVID, the entire system, the CDC, the FDA, the corporate media, the governments of the world, they tried to convince everybody that there's no such thing as natural immunity.
	They tried to memory hold that from all of medical science and physiology.
	They did the same thing with ivermectin.
	They tried to erase ivermectin from your knowledge to say, oh, that's dangerous.
	Don't touch that.
	Radiation zone.
	You know, whatever.
	I mean, they didn't say radiation.
	I'm just...
	Using that as an example of their fear.
	They try to scare you away from ivermectin.
	Even though ivermectin saved a lot of lives.
	And I've used ivermectin a lot since then.
	And it's very effective, by the way.
	Why are they trying to destroy the knowledge of things that work?
	Why were they attacking vitamin C, vitamin D, quercetin, zinc, and so on?
	Even hydroxychloroquine.
	Well, because, of course, they don't want people to have knowledge of anything that can save lives when the globalists are trying to achieve global extermination and depopulation via infertility and, you know, kill-offs, bioweapons injections and things like that.
	So there's a concerted effort right now to exterminate human knowledge across these vast areas of...
	Science and medicine and physiology, they're trying to tell you men can have babies.
	I mean, how insane is that?
	Or even climate science, atmospheric science, they're trying to tell you that photosynthesis doesn't exist, I guess, because carbon dioxide is bad for plants, they now claim, which is also completely absurd.
	So there's an effort to exterminate human knowledge, and there aren't that many projects that are actually trying to preserve human knowledge.
	And really, that's what we're doing with our AI project, brighteon.ai.
	If you want to sign up there for our email list, you'll be alerted when we have our first models available.
	But we're taking all these areas of human knowledge that are under attack.
	You know, herbal medicine, indigenous medicine, natural medicine, alternative medicine.
	Nutrition, superfoods, permaculture, self-reliance, off-grid living, right?
	All these topic areas.
	Emergency first aid, the knowledge about, let's say, chlorine dioxide or colloidal silver.
	All these amazing things.
	We're trying to preserve that knowledge into a tool that you can have for free and you can distribute personally.
	And this can be used to help keep human knowledge alive and intact and distributed into the hands of many, many people, millions of people all over the world.
	It's kind of like an ark for information.
	We're building essentially Noah's ark for knowledge.
	And sort of like the great flood that wiped out so much life on Earth, and Noah had to save, you know, the genetic potential of life of all the animals and species.
	Well, there's now an anti-human, a demonic purge of knowledge and information across our world, and that's being seen through censorship.
	And all the government's launching, quote, misinformation laws that will throw you in jail if you claim that a person's pronouns are imaginary fairy tales.
	You know, things like that.
	So they are assaulting knowledge.
	And it's up to us to preserve that knowledge.
	And by the way, in 2017, Google did the Medic update of its search engine, which was all about obliterating knowledge of herbs, natural medicine, disease prevention...
	Superfoods, alternative cancer therapies, all these things that could have benefited humankind.
	That was obliterated from Google seven years ago now.
	And a similar thing has happened on YouTube, and now the WHO, with the new treaty, the WHO is going to dictate what you're allowed to have access to.
	The WHO is going to dictate to the tech platforms what they need to censor.
	Oh, you have to censor misinformation about vaccines, which is anybody that says that vaccine doesn't work, or that vaccine killed somebody, or that vaccines cause autism, which they do.
	We already know that.
	Or that vaccines have killed millions of people around the world since just the COVID vaccines.
	All of that's true.
	But the WHO will be ordering the platforms to silence that information, to censor it.
	So what we have to do is we have to preserve human knowledge using means that aren't controlled by the platforms, that aren't controlled by governments, that aren't controlled by powerful corporations like Pfizer.
	And large language models are the perfect vehicle to do this, and I realized that last year, and that's why I've been working so hard on this program, and we're very close to getting out the first model.
	It won't be the final model.
	We're going to continue to release many improvements, new additions throughout this year, but this is going to put a tool into your hands that will allow you to get your questions answered without having to use Google.
	And by the way, you'll be able to type into this model, like a query, all the ingredients of a food product that you just bought.
	You type in the ingredients and say, tell me, are these ingredients hazardous or safe?
	Good or bad?
	Tell me.
	And the model will tell you, because we're training it on all these ingredients.
	Thousands of food ingredients.
	We're doing all the training to teach it about food.
	What's in food and to teach it about phytonutrients.
	What are carotenoids?
	What are anthocyanidins?
	What are minerals?
	What are vitamins?
	What are their benefits on human health?
	What are green tea catechins?
	All these things.
	It's all going to be built in.
	And then you could ask, which ones of these can help boost immune function or can help prevent cancer or can help enhance cardiovascular health or can maybe destroy the spike protein or whatever you want.
	You come up with your questions and you can ask it these questions and it's being trained on all of these answers.
	Content.
	Tens of millions of documents.
	I've got terabytes of storage online for this project right now, and we are making tremendous progress.
	So this is about preserving human knowledge, and when we release our first model, I'll give you more instructions on how to run it.
	You just download some free software that's out there on the web, and then you can run our model.
	You can share it with anybody you want.
	You can put it on a thumb drive, hand it to somebody.
	The model download would be about 5 gigabytes, by the way, something in that range.
	And it'll take between 8 and 16 gigabytes of RAM in order to run on your computer, but you don't need any special graphics cards in order to run it.
	You can run it on sort of a normal, everyday desktop computer.
	So I'll keep you posted.
	That's just a few weeks away now.
	Brighteon.ai is the website, again, if you want to sign up for that.
	This is going to change your life.
	Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention.
	This tool has incredible capabilities that you may not have considered.
	For example, it can generate text for you.
	It can expand your bullet points.
	So if you're about to create a presentation, for example, and you give it 10 bullet points, And you say, hey, expand these bullet points into full paragraphs for my presentation.
	It will do that for you.
	And if your presentation is about health or herbs or nutrients, natural health, off-grid living, our model will be the best model in the world for doing this expansion for you because our model will have this intrinsic knowledge base of all those topics, whereas all the other corporate models don't have that knowledge base.
	They're not well-informed on these topics.
	So this will create content for you, actually.
	It can also summarize content.
	You can paste in an article, and you can ask it to summarize it.
	You can ask it to correct your grammar, by the way.
	You can write something, paste it in, and say, hey, correct the spelling and the grammar and the word choice.
	And the key term to use there is called normalize.
	You want to ask it to normalize your words or, you know, your paragraphs.
	And then it'll spit out a normalized version, which is vastly improved.
	And so you can ask it to do all kinds of things.
	You can ask it for ideas.
	You can type into it, hey, I've just developed a new company that's going to have like wildcrafted herbs.
	And I'm trying to come up with a company name and slogan ideas that's all about herbs and mother nature.
	And please list like 20 ideas for company names and slogan ideas.
	And it'll do that.
	It'll do that for you.
	And they're pretty good.
	If you're wondering why I've been talking about this so much, why I've dedicated so much time to this, wait until you get your hands on this.
	You'll be shocked at what it can do.
	It can write screenplays.
	It can write scripts.
	It can write articles.
	It can write summaries.
	It can do all kinds of things.
	And with our model, for the first time, it'll be a model that understands nutrition, herbs, superfoods, and that there are only two genders, by the way.
	So, anyway, it should be interesting.
	I'll keep you posted.
	All right, let's move on to Trump news.
	Now, of course, there's been a lot, a lot of pushback against Trump's post.
	And I think that post was on Friday.
	Anyway, it was the post where Trump was bragging about taking credit for the COVID jabs and how he did it in nine months instead of however many years it would have taken.
	And he said it's going to beat cancer.
	And we've now confirmed that post was real.
	It was posted from the real Donald Trump account on Truth Social.
	The Epoch Times covered it.
	A lot of other media outlets covered it.
	Alex Jones covered it, made a pretty big announcement on his show, just really ripping Trump about that, saying that essentially that he, Alex, is tired of holding his nose and apologizing for Trump's ignorance on vaccines.
	And that's the way we all feel, actually.
	And then RFK Jr.
	came out and kind of rubbed Trump's nose in it and said, hey, Trump hasn't learned anything from the COVID years, apparently.
	Yeah, RFK's right.
	Trump hasn't learned a damn thing from four years of vaccine deaths and disabilities.
	And we all have the same question.
	What's wrong with Trump?
	How could he get this so wrong?
	Has he lost his mind?
	The answer is no, he hasn't lost his mind.
	And I have a theory, I have a conclusion that I'd like to share with you that explains it.
	It doesn't excuse it, by the way, but it explains what's happening.
	I think, simply stated, now, I want to be clear, I don't have any inside information on this.
	And Trump's camp might disagree with me.
	Roger Stone might disagree with me.
	We'll be interviewing him again.
	I'll ask him this question.
	We'll see what he says.
	But I don't have any inside information, just to be clear.
	This is just my own speculation.
	But I think Trump has made a deal to be returned to the White House.
	Actually, I think he's made several deals.
	But I think the establishment has decided that they can't They can't really beat Trump, so they're gonna bring him back in, but control him and make sure that he continues to push all the right things.
	What are those things?
	Well, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, Pfizer.
	That's one of them.
	Second one, Israel.
	Trump is all in with Israel.
	Trump's all in with the continued bombing of Gaza, it appears.
	I mean, I know Trump would rather have peace and get us out of there, but he's not.
	He hasn't spoken out against Israel's genocide.
	And if anything, Trump seems to be all in with Israel.
	So he's got Israel on his side.
	Trump's made a deal with military, the DOD, at least the movers and shakers.
	I talked about that maybe a month or two ago, that key influencers inside the military industrial complex, they desperately want Trump back in and they're making things happen to bring him back.
	So that's, you know, the war industry needs Trump back in, and Trump will absolutely support the military with a trillion dollars a year in funding, if that's what it takes.
	Wall Street wants Trump back in because Trump will print more money, just like Biden has printed money.
	Trump has never opposed money printing, just to be clear.
	Trump is not even about shrinking government spending.
	That was really never part of his wheelhouse.
	It was always about keeping interest rates low and doing deals and growing the economy to solve the problems.
	In addition, Trump has now come out in favor of Bitcoin.
	Did you know that?
	He's on the pro-Bitcoin camp now, so apparently some of the big money Bitcoin people have reached Trump, and he's no longer opposing Bitcoin.
	Trump is even in with TikTok now, so he's got maybe some China influence happening there.
	Trump is saying he doesn't want to support a TikTok ban, He thinks that people should be allowed to use TikTok and that it's not the government's business to ban the app, even though it's a communist China app that some critics say is being used to destroy American culture.
	I'm not here to debate that topic at the moment.
	And then there's China.
	Trump would rather do deals with China, do business with China, than go to war with China, which I admire that, by the way.
	I don't think we should go to war with China either.
	I don't think we should go to war with Russia.
	I think we should engage in trade, not war.
	So I agree with that.
	But think about the list that I just said.
	Trump has had four years to denounce Big Pharma and the vaccines, and instead he has tripled down on how good the vaccines are.
	So you can now just stop thinking up crazy explanations.
	Just understand what's obvious here.
	Trump is all in with Big Pharma and the vaccine industry.
	Okay?
	Done.
	Just check that checkbox off just so you know that's what it is.
	Trump's in the pocket of Big Pharma.
	Okay?
	Trump's in the pocket of Israel.
	Okay?
	Trump is all in with the military industrial complex.
	Trump is all in with Wall Street, money printing, and making the stock market bubble even bigger.
	And now Trump is in with Bitcoin.
	I mean, these are major, major players.
	And of course, the energy industry loves Trump because Trump is going to open up more energy exploration, drilling, pipelines, and so on.
	I don't disagree with that, by the way.
	We do need to be energy independent.
	But I'm just adding that to the list for clarity here.
	There are a lot of powerful players in America's industries.
	Pharma, big oil, Israel, military, big banks, Wall Street, all that.
	It is these interests that determine who wins elections more than anybody's votes.
	And I believe that Trump has done deals with these interests, and I think that everything is lining up right now to put Trump into play.
	For example, did you know that at the RNC, now that Trump is the presumptive nominee, did you know that, first of all, Ronna McDaniels, that her name, she's out of there.
	She was a disaster.
	And did you know that 60 staffers at the RNC have now been fired and replaced by pro-Trump people?
	So pro-Trump people are taking over the RNC, which is probably a good thing, by the way.
	You know, America first is not a bad philosophy.
	To get us back on our feet.
	You know, I mean, people are tired of America last.
	Let's be clear about that.
	Everybody's tired of sending money to Ukraine and money to Israel, money everywhere else, but nothing for America's border, nothing for America's cities, nothing for America's police forces.
	Yeah, we're tired of that.
	We need to have America first for some period of time here.
	America should always be first for Americans and we should do deals with other countries.
	I agree with that.
	Trump is going to be good on that.
	He's going to be strong on that.
	But if he's also in bed with Pfizer, then, you know, we're in trouble, too, in a different way.
	We're in trouble at the next plandemic.
	Is Trump going to push another vaccine?
	Well, some people would argue, well, he's never going to make it mandatory.
	Okay, I respect that.
	That's great.
	He's going to leave it up to you.
	Okay, well, if anybody's, you know, Insane enough to keep taking jabs, then I guess they're kind of responsible for their own sudden death, right?
	Nothing we can do.
	But it's becoming apparent to me that Trump is being selected, he's being put in play, and that a lot of what we're watching is theater.
	Trump's going to be the next president, again, it looks like.
	And You're going to find out that it's not that different from the current president.
	I know some people are aghast at me saying that.
	I'm talking about policies.
	Not that different.
	Yeah, we'll have more energy and oil exploration.
	That's great.
	And yeah, we'll probably extricate ourselves from the total mess with Russia.
	That's great too.
	But it's still going to be pushing pharmaceuticals.
	It's still going to be pushing vaccines and pushing pandemics.
	It's still going to be Fauci type of people in the Trump orbit that he's going to listen to.
	He's still going to push money printing and government spending and a big, powerful military-industrial complex.
	Not that much is going to change.
	We're still going to have worsening inflation.
	We're still going to have dollar devaluation.
	The BRICS nations are still going to do what they're doing, which is going to make the dollar obsolete.
	We're still going to have a rogue FDA that attacks nutritional supplement companies.
	We're still going to have an FTC that's out of control, an ATF that's out of control, an EPA that's out of control.
	We're still going to have an FBI and a CIA that are weaponized against America.
	Not that much is going to change, I don't think.
	Unless you want to tell me that Trump is going to come in and actually do what he promised.
	He's going to drain the swamp.
	Well, if he drains the swamp, well, okay, I will stand corrected.
	I will take back what I'm saying here right now, but it doesn't look like any swamp's going to get drained at all.
	Now, Trump was sure right about Haiti, huh?
	That's descended into a cannibalistic gang stalker hell zone.
	Talk about total collapse of a nation.
	That's Haiti today.
	Trump called it years ahead of time.
	So he's been right about a lot of things, but he's wrong about the vaccines.
	And he's wrong about Israel.
	And he's wrong about...
	Wall Street and the currency and money printing and all that.
	So it could be that they want Trump in power because they're going to collapse the whole system under Trump.
	And then blame him.
	And it's actually lining up for that, if you think about it.
	They allow Trump to win...
	And then all the conservatives across America cheer, we won, we won!
	And then they get people to think that elections work again, even though they're still rigged.
	Everybody's like, yeah, democracy works, you know?
	And then the left goes insane after election day.
	So they have this massive uprising of total chaos.
	I mean, like, on steroids.
	Way beyond anything that happened in 2020 or 2016.
	We're talking not just Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
	We're talking about paid globalist terror operators sabotaging, blowing up everything all across the country to try to turn it into chaos before Trump is sworn in.
	It's the perfect setup for a collapse scenario.
	And then, you know, out of the blue, oh, whoa, there's a cyber attack on the power grid.
	What happened?
	Oh, there's a nuke in a city.
	What happened?
	You know, the deep state setting off bombs, blaming it all on Trump.
	Look, America elected Trump and then it all went to hell.
	Everything collapsed.
	It's those damn conservatives, you know.
	You can see the narratives.
	This is not difficult to see.
	They allow Trump to get elected and then they crush the nation, they collapse the banks, they have a financial reset, total chaos everywhere, and then the American people call for a savior to come along.
	What kind of savior?
	Oh, a globalist savior.
	They call for, like, the United Nations.
	Come in!
	Save us!
	We need, like, food missions in Pittsburgh, which is collapsing into total chaos.
	Oh, we need United Nations.
	We need peacekeepers here.
	America has become a land of total chaos.
	We need international aid to restore law and order.
	So the UN shows up with the WHO, and they suspend the U.S. Constitution.
	They declare a military dictatorship, they take over, and then the liberals are happy because now they got what they wanted, global government.
	You see how them allowing Trump to win is just a step towards that goal?
	They need Trump to win because they need the chaos.
	They need the chaos because they need the UN to step in.
	They also need a cover story for the financial collapse, for the civil war, for For the activation of the 10-plus million illegals that are already pre-positioned across America.
	Yeah, they're saving that for the right moment.
	And that moment is right after Trump wins.
	So that's my suspicion of where this is headed.
	Granted, things could change between now and Election Day.
	They may try to assassinate Trump if they think he's going to be too effective.
	But I think Trump has made a lot of deals.
	With pharma, with Israel, with the military, and so on.
	And I think Trump is now in the pocket of enough powerful financial interests that they're going to let him get returned to the Oval Office.
	and you're still going to find yourself living under absolute, you know, disgusting money printing tyrannical debt machine that's going to collapse.
	Again, not that much is going to change.
	Now I'm open to being proven wrong.
	I pray that I'm wrong.
	I pray that Trump gets in and actually cleans up the place and drains the swamp.
	If he's going to do that, he should take the suggestion of Scott Ritter, who, in an interview, I think it was with Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter said that there should be a knight of the long knives Where every CIA operative or deep state operative that was part of the Russia collusion hoax is all, during the same night, they are all arrested and stripped of all their security clearances.
	They're all arrested and indicted and charged with treason against the United States and completely removed from power.
	That should happen all in one night, all across, well, Virginia and the D.C. area, I guess.
	And there is a way to clean up the swamp, but it's got to be very aggressive, assertive action under Trump.
	Now, is Trump willing to do that?
	I doubt it.
	I doubt it.
	But Scott Ritter made a good suggestion, at least something worth considering.
	But if you really want to change things up, here's what you do.
	All right, here's what you do.
	You fire the current woke morons at the top of the Pentagon.
	Austin is his name.
	Lord Austin.
	That's my joke.
	And you replace him with Colonel Douglas McGregor.
	You put Douglas McGregor in charge of the Pentagon.
	And then McGregor could actually start to restore some legitimacy to the United States military.
	End all the woke bull crap.
	End the anti-white policies of the military.
	You could start actually recruiting people again.
	Then, again, in the spirit of shaking things up in Washington, D.C., you make Alex Jones the press secretary, okay?
	No more woke, lesbian, virtue-signaling press secretaries.
	You put Alex Jones in there, and you tell Alex Jones, be yourself.
	On day one, all the media shows up, the New York Times, CNN... And you just let Alex Jones have the mic and just go at him for about three hours, which he can do.
	And that would be one of the greatest events in the history of press secretaries right there.
	And that would show the world that Trump's not messing around.
	I say Alex Jones for press secretary.
	And then for the Attorney General of the DOJ, you tap Ken Paxton of Texas, although we would be very sad to lose him here in the state of Texas because Paxton has been quite a champion now.
	I'm really impressed with his work.
	But he could have an even bigger impact at the DOJ, arresting all the tens of thousands of traitors, some of whom are currently serving in the Biden administration.
	Hint, hint.
	Paxson should issue mass arrest warrants across the country for all the traitors that took part in the vote rigging of 2020, all the election fraud, all the Russia collusion hoax, all the suppression of evidence that would have exonerated Trump.
	Liz Cheney, anybody?
	Does that ring a bell?
	J6 committees and all that nonsense.
	You get Ken Paxson in there.
	And then you have Trump pardon all the non-violent J6 people.
	Anybody that didn't carry out acts of violence on that day, anybody that didn't attack a Capitol Police officer, anybody that didn't seriously vandalize the building, should be pardoned.
	Including Stuart Rhodes, by the way.
	He wasn't even there that day.
	He wasn't doing anything wrong.
	And then what you gotta do...
	Oh, by the way, if Ken Paxton isn't available for the DOJ, you get Jonathan Emord in there.
	But Jonathan Emord would actually be really great as the head of HHS. Can you imagine the FDA dragon slayer as the head of Health and Human Services?
	Yeah, you put Emord in there, although he's running for Senate in Virginia, so he might be a senator.
	Hopefully he will be.
	If you're in Virginia, be sure to vote for Jonathan Emord.
	I've interviewed him a couple of times.
	But Emord would be great in a Trump administration to actually make some heads roll, metaphorically speaking, legally speaking, and to stop the overreach of the FDA and the ATF and the USDA and the EPA and all these out-of-control regulators that are Writing their own laws, essentially, and overzealous enforcement that's turned our country into a police state.
	Yeah, EMORD's the guy to stop that.
	So you've got to bring in EMORD. And then for U.S. Surgeon General, you put out the invitation for Dr.
	Joseph Mercola.
	Hey, Dr.
	Mercola, would you like to be surgeon general?
	And just tell it like it is, man.
	And Dr.
	Mercola would get up there.
	And he would revolutionize America's health information by telling everybody, like, number one, you're probably all vitamin D deficient, so let's start there.
	And then Mercola would teach everybody about ivermectin and zinc and nutrition and avoiding toxins and the dangers of the jabs.
	And I tell you what, we could revolutionize our country with some good information.
	And of course, maybe the Trump administration would tap my talents to build an online AI knowledge base for the American people to learn about health and nutrition.
	I'd be happy to volunteer my time and efforts to do something like that.
	We're all willing to contribute to a better society.
	And then on top of that, I vote for Michael Yon for the head of Customs and Border Patrol.
	That's right.
	Send Michael Yon to head Border Patrol.
	And guess what?
	Our border would be secure in no time.
	You just say, hey, Michael Yan, here's $1 billion.
	I don't know, give him more.
	Give him $20 billion.
	Hey, give him the whole amount that we were going to send to Ukraine.
	Give Michael Yan $60 billion.
	Guess what?
	We're going to have a wall built.
	Guess what?
	All those invasion camps will be completely burned to the ground, you know, completely dismantled.
	Michael Yan will have drones flying up and down the border, tracking everybody with thermal cameras like no one's getting through.
	It's the Michael Jan border.
	He could nail it.
	And then finally, we need to replace the head of NASA with Bart Sabrell.
	So that's the final nail in the coffin, ending all the lies of the establishment.
	Yes, so those are my choices for a Trump administration once he gets into power.
	Sadly, I think we're going to end up with somebody like Mike Pompeo instead, who's not on my list of recommendations.
	Okay.
	Nope.
	Not Pompeo.
	Come on.
	We can do better.
	By the way, we should also have Sherry Tenpenny as, like, the head of the FDA Safety Group, whatever that's called.
	FDA Safety Division.
	Yeah.
	Dr.
	Sherry Tenpenny.
	By the way, her program is still airing this week on Brighteon University.
	The 20 mechanisms or 20-plus mechanisms of vaccine injury.
	So just go to brightu.com.
	That's bright and then the letter U, brightu.com, short for Bright Town University.
	Go there and sign up.
	There's a new episode airing each day, continuing all this week through the weekend as well from Dr.
	Sherry Tenpenny.
	It's already very popular, getting a lot of positive feedback about it.
	You're going to learn a ton of useful things there.
	So be sure to check that out.
	Anyway, Dr.
	Sherry Tenpenny should run the FDA Safety Division, I think.
	She would go there and clean house like Trump at the RNC. You're fired.
	And hey, while we're at it, you know, why don't we bring back Ron Paul and ask him to run the Federal Reserve?
	You know what he would do on day one?
	Audit!
	Federal Reserve audit!
	Finally, the day has come, folks.
	Ron Paul opens up all the books, posts them online.
	The whole world freaks out.
	Oh, my God!
	It was a giant dollar-printing scam since 1913, and the creature from Jekyll Island, G. Edward Griffith, was right!
	Oh, my gosh!
	I would love to see this moment of victory for Ron Paul.
	Finally!
	Nailed it!
	By the way, someone we don't want in the Trump administration is Neil deGrasse Tyson, the science faker.
	Did you know he was warning about all the shoreline areas of America that would be underwater when climate change kicks in?
	And he says, he even shows a map in one of his X posts, talking about all these areas of the East Coast that will be underwater.
	And then somebody else on X replied to him and pointed out that Neil deGrasse Tyson actually owns a 2.1 million second floor condo in Manhattan, which is also shown as being underwater in the map that Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted out there to try to scare everybody.
	So Tyson, just like all these other so-called climate cultists, scientists, they don't believe their own fear bullcrap, because he owns a condo in an area that's supposed to be underwater, according to his own predictions.
	Totally fraudulent.
	Don't forget the Obamas spent $12 million on an oceanfront beach house in Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, which is also supposed to be underwater soon, according to the climate change lunatics.
	Neil deGrasse Tyson also believes that there are an infinite number of genders, too.
	So if you wondered about his total lack of scientific credibility, he thinks men can become women.
	And he buys a condo that's going to be underwater any day now, he tells us, we should be very afraid.
	I mean, if you really believe the oceans are going to rise, shouldn't you be buying property in Wyoming or someplace, some high elevation place in Colorado or someplace?
	No, no, no, no.
	Buying it in the flood zone.
	By the way, there's one more kind of disturbing story here to cover today.
	Very sad to report that a whistleblower who was involved in a lawsuit against Boeing, he reportedly worked there previously, 32 years of work with Boeing.
	His name was John Barnett.
	He has been found dead with what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
	It's been called a suicide.
	Found dead in a truck in a hotel parking lot in South Carolina.
	Let's see.
	He was a quality manager for the 787 Dreamliner production at the North Charleston plant of Boeing.
	And he was in Charleston for legal interviews as part of this lawsuit when he was found dead.
	So you think he killed himself?
	No.
	You notice how everything's falling apart at Boeing?
	I mean, their planes are falling apart.
	You notice how wheels are falling off and doors are flying off.
	Landing gear is collapsing and planes are suddenly losing control in the sky.
	You notice that?
	And then the guy that blew the whistle on it is in town to testify as part of a lawsuit and then he's found dead in a parking lot?
	Yeah.
	Fortune Magazine once carried a headline on this, actual headline from a story in 2020.
	That was reprinting some of the internal Boeing messages about the 737 MAX jetliner.
	Boeing's own employees said, quote, designed by clowns, supervised by monkeys.
	I don't know how to fix these things, said one email.
	It's systematic.
	It's culture.
	It's the fact that we have a senior leadership team that understand very little about the business and yet are driving us to certain objectives.
	Yeah.
	It's because they're woke.
	That's why.
	They're woke.
	And even their own employees would not fly on Boeing jets, by the way.
	In fact, there was an undercover investigation by Al Jazeera, kind of James O'Keefe style, where they went into a Boeing facility in South Carolina, and they were asking employees if they would fly on the jets.
	And they said...
	They said no.
	No.
	And they also said, quote, many employees are addicted to drugs and no one cares.
	Oh, wait, that's what the reporter wrote.
	Okay, anyway, let me show the video for you here.
	It's less than two minutes, but this is going to be interesting.
	I'm seeing it for the first time here, too.
	This is a Boeing factory in the U.S. state of South Carolina.
	Workers here in Charleston are assembling the company's flagship product, the 787 Dreamliner.
	But this footage reveals some have little faith in the plane they built.
	You won't fly on one of these planes?
	Of 15 workers asked randomly, 10 said they would not fly on the Dreamliner.
	I want to fly on one of these planes because I see the quality of the going down around here.
	An employee captured the footage after contacting Al Jazeera to tell us he had serious concerns about what he was seeing.
	At his request, we changed his voice.
	With all the problems reported on the 787, there's 90% that's getting swept away, hushed up.
	It's an iceberg.
	In another meeting, the source told us workers are often underskilled, uncaring, and in some cases, on drugs.
	I've seen a lot of things that should not go on at an airplane plant.
	People talking about doing drugs, looking for drugs.
	It's all coke and peankillers.
	And the other one.
	You can get weed here.
	That's really good weed.
	They don't go and test their body.
	I know they don't.
	There's people that go out there and watch them and smoke one of them.
	Do they?
	Hell yeah.
	All right, that's just a little teaser there, but...
	Wow, did you know you can buy coke and weed at the Boeing plant?
	They don't even serve that on the airplanes, but...
	If you build the airplanes, then you can have access to coke and weed and painkillers.
	Boy, that should make you feel all warm and cozy inside at 29,000 feet.
	Maybe some of you are listening to this while you're flying on a Boeing.
	You're probably starting to think, oh my gosh, is this thing going to hold together?
	Well...
	Not always, is the honest answer.
	Not always.
	For the most part, it does, but not always.
	And, of course, we know the FAA. Don't forget the FAA. We covered this a couple months ago.
	They were actively hiring cognitively retarded people.
	They put out the call of who they wanted to hire, you know, the woke agenda.
	They wanted, remember what it was?
	People with severe psychiatric disorders, those suffering from mental retardation, And then for some reason, they also mentioned dwarfism in there, like they want to hire dwarfs.
	I have no idea why that's even mentioned in there.
	It seems like it doesn't fit.
	But that's the FAA. For whatever reason, they want to hire people with cognitive and psychiatric problems.
	And those are the ones who are responsible for air safety in America, while the planes are being built by people on cocaine and weed and painkillers, by the way.
	So there you go.
	Gives you lots of confidence.
	Yeah.
	And some of the pilots are drunk, too, on top of that.
	Had a few too many that morning.
	Yeah.
	Oh, and they're jabbed on top of that.
	So let's see.
	Alcoholism, blood clots and jabs of the pilots.
	The planes are built by drug addicts, and the FAA is run by psych patients and retarded people, literally.
	So, yeah, no wonder.
	No wonder air safety has such a problem these days.
	And it's all about wokeism, by the way.
	Got to keep it all woke.
	This is America in 2024.
	Instead of calling the plane the Boeing Dreamliner, it should be Boeing.
	You're dreaming.
	You want to get on a Boeing airplane?
	Oh, you're dreaming.
	You think that thing's going to fly?
	You're dreaming.
	It should be called the You're Dreaming Liner.
	Or, more accurately, the Boeing Nightmare Liner.
	It's like, welcome to hell.
	Buckle up.
	You may not survive.
	It's a Boeing Liner.
	Hey, did you also know that Boeing makes bombs that are dropped on women and children in Gaza, too, on top of that?
	Yeah, go Boeing!
	Yes!
	Drop those 1,000-pound bombs on innocent civilians so you can rack up more corporate profits for your investors and board members.
	Go Boeing!
	Cocaine for everyone!
	Yeah, cocaine funded by all the bombs that were sold to Israel using U.S. taxpayer money.
	And then dropped on children in Gaza.
	Did you know that 70% of the casualties in Gaza now are women and children?
	Yeah.
	Of the 30,000 or so that we know of that have been slaughtered by Israel using bombs from Boeing and other companies, 70% are women and children.
	So that should really go wrong.
	There should be like a trophy wall at Boeing.
	They should earn big trophies for all the women and children that they have exterminated with their technology.
	At least the bombs don't really have to be able to land safely.
	The reason that Boeing can make bombs is because, well, they're supposed to blow up.
	Now, maybe that's the only thing they're actually good at, because if you're smoking crack and doing weed, you could probably still build bombs, but maybe not jets with landing gear that remains attached.
	You know what I mean?
	I think it's easier to build bombs that blow people up than to build planes that land people safely.
	That's all I'm saying.
	Especially when the FAA is run by psychos and lunatics and retards.
	That's the case.
	Well, it's all just embarrassing now.
	Yeah, this is America's premier, you know, aeronautics company, and it's the laughingstock of the world.
	It's a total joke.
	I'm just waiting for that day when Boeing rolls out an airplane with only one wing and says, well, this plane self-identifies as a plane with two wings.
	It's all good.
	Trust us.
	Go ahead.
	Board up.
	It's going to be fine.
	Trust us.
	It's backed by science.
	Yeah.
	Is Neil deGrasse Tyson on that flight?
	Does he believe that airplanes can identify as craft that can remain airborne with only one wing?
	Probably so.
	Yeah, because there can be an infinite number of genders and the laws of physics need not apply.
	All right.
	Trivia, truth here.
	I was actually on a flight with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	I sat right across the aisle from him.
	And it was a Southwest flight to Houston.
	And he wore a cowboy hat the moment the flight ended.
	He put on a cowboy hat, got off the plane.
	I didn't say anything.
	He didn't say anything.
	What is there to be said?
	You know, I'm thinking to myself, I'm on an airplane flight with a science clown.
	So what?
	Half the people on this plane are probably, you know, science clowns.
	Half of them are probably jabbed, including Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	So it's like, what is there to say?
	Good luck.
	All right, well, we're going to jump into the interview with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.
	Let me plug a couple of things here for today.
	The satellite phone store, SAT123, gives you backup communications that work even when the power grid doesn't work or when your mobile phones don't work, you know, the cell towers don't work.
	Satellite phones work even in horrible disasters like the Lahaina fires.
	There was a sat phone there that helped thousands of people reach loved ones.
	And that was a sat phone from the Satellite Phone Store, by the way.
	So, a success story.
	SAT123.com.
	And don't forget, they also have Bivvy Sticks, which is two-way satellite-based text messaging devices.
	And you can text anybody's regular cell phone, by the way.
	Or you can receive texts because you have a regular phone number, so anybody can text you and you'll get it via satellite.
	So that's pretty cool.
	In addition, thank you for your support at healthrangerstore.com, where we have the most rigorously laboratory-tested food supply, not only nutritional supplements and superfoods, but also various storable foods, freeze-dried, certified organic, lab-tested, non-GMO, Did you know that freeze drying preserves more nutrients and taste and texture and color than any other preservation method?
	So that's why we have freeze dried blueberries and fruits and vegetables in number 10 cans, which are practically rodent proof.
	They're very rugged for long-term storage, and freeze-dried food will last for years in these cans.
	So check it all out, healthrangerstore.com.
	We appreciate your support.
	With that said, let's jump into the interview here with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, who will bring you some interesting perspectives on what we face ahead.
	Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy.
	Enjoy. Thank you.
	Welcome, everybody, to today's episode of Decentralized TV, a special episode here hosted on Brighteon.com, the platform that my company built so that we can engage in free speech.
	And today we have an incredible guest who will help demonstrate the power of free speech and free thinking.
	But first, let me introduce my co-host, Todd Pitner.
	Welcome, Todd, to the show today.
	Are you looking forward to this one or what?
	Thank you.
	I thought you were talking about me when you were talking about an incredible...
	But I guess, as co-host, I'm not the guest.
	You're an incredible co-host, but we have an incredible guest on top of the co-host.
	Yes, we do.
	I am very much looking forward to today, and I think everybody will click their heels and not realize, wow, an hour just went by.
	Yeah, probably so.
	Well, let's go ahead and bring him in right now.
	It is Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, worked with the State Department, worked with Special Forces.
	Welcome to the show, sir.
	It's an honor to have you on today.
	Thank you for having me.
	Pleased to be here.
	Well, we are happy to have you on.
	And I just want to say, for the record here, we all are Americans.
	We love America.
	We want our country to succeed with its original founding vision.
	We want freedom and liberty and a justice system that works.
	And yet what you have spoken about so much in many of your interviews and what our audience is concerned about, since this is about decentralization, is really a you've commented on a very strong centralization of power into the hands of people who are incompetent and corrupt.
	And they're harming our country, which means we're all harmed.
	Can you give us a 50,000 foot view of where you think we are in history right now with America?
	Well, yeah.
	And let me tell you where I come from.
	I have 28 ancestors that fought in the American Revolution in 1776.
	One of them, my uncle, Charles Thompson, was the secretary of the Continental Congress.
	He had been an apprentice to Benjamin Franklin, and he held the Declaration of Independence in his possession until the U.S. government was really fully stood up and functioning in 1798.
	So my family's got some skin in this game.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	We go back into the 17th century.
	So I think if you're here for more than 400 years, you get to be a Native American.
	So I'm a Native American.
	Good point.
	And what I've watched unfold is with this attempt to concentrate power in Washington, D.C., it has really crossed party lines.
	I don't even like the terms left and right anymore.
	The terms Republican and Democrat are particularly meaningless.
	I boil it down to this very, very simply.
	The Declaration of Independence stated that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and those rights are gifts from God.
	And therefore, it's not granted to you by government.
	It's your natural-born right.
	And everyone, every living man, woman, child has that right.
	And so what I look at is, do we have a government right?
	Intent on protecting those rights or violating those rights.
	And I would argue right now we're in an era where we've got a government that's violating those rights at will.
	And it's time to push back.
	It's a very dangerous situation.
	Thank you for that introduction.
	We have a lot of questions for you, both Todd and I, but one of the things I want to start with is, from what you just mentioned, Larry, the corruption leads to incompetence, and the incompetence is projected around the world where we end up in War situations, even provoking Russia right now, which seems to be a very dangerous game of nuclear chicken, we might say.
	And yet, our side, the current people in charge, vastly overestimate the strength of our position.
	Would you agree or disagree with that?
	Oh, I absolutely agree.
	In fact, we're like the guy who maybe thought he was a star athlete in high school, but we're now 30 years later.
	70 pounds heavier.
	Haven't been exercising much.
	Donuts are like our favorite food.
	And we decide we're going to go down to a nearby bar and get into a bar fight.
	Now, we don't know who owns the bar.
	We don't know who's inside the bar.
	And we don't realize that the bar owner and the people inside the bar are all related.
	So does it make sense to go in there and pick that kind of fight?
	Well, absolutely not.
	Because you're going to get thumped.
	And so when we look at what's happened to the United States, to the military, you know, I've heard people like President Trump say, well, we've got the greatest military, the strongest military in the world.
	No, we don't.
	And we need to stop kidding ourselves.
	We've got the most expensive military in the world.
	And we have a military that is armed and equipped, not according to a national strategic plan.
	You know, let's say, for example, you decided that, hey, I'm going to build me a cabin in the mountains of Montana.
	So what kind of vehicle do I need to plan to live out there?
	Oh, I know.
	I'm going to get a Lamborghini.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Yeah, you're going to drive over four-wheel drive territory in a Lamborghini that sits about six inches off the ground.
	So, you know, that would be stupid.
	But that's exactly what we're doing in terms of how we determine what to staff and put in the U.S. military.
	So right now we're spending upwards of $12 billion building aircraft carriers that frankly are as outmoded as the U.S. cavalry was going into World War II. Yeah, extraordinary.
	And the Red Sea situation with the Hooties has really demonstrated that.
	Look, you know, here's the Houthis with, you know, or the Yemenis, to be more precise, with, you know, I think the term that's been described in them as a, quote, shithole country.
	They are nowhere near anywhere of first world military power.
	And yet they've demonstrated what are the limits of U.S. military power.
	We're running in airstrikes day after day.
	Well, the problem is we don't have magic eyes, and they're using mobile missile systems to keep moving.
	And so they keep moving.
	They keep shooting up ships.
	They keep shooting down our Predator drones.
	These Predator drones run $30 million, $38 million a pop.
	The Houthis are shooting them down with missile technology that maybe costs $500,000.
	You know, do the math!
	That's an economic downer for us.
	Exactly.
	And this goes back to the corruption part of what you're talking about.
	And I've got first-hand knowledge of this.
	When I was in Bethesda, Maryland, my next-door neighbor was the number one defense lobbyist in town.
	His company had all the, you know, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, all signed up.
	And the way the game's played is his job was to go get from them money.
	They would fund him.
	Then every month he had to arrange at least one or two fundraising dinners a week.
	And those fundraising dinners would be for various key members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, who would gather and, lo and behold, the executives from Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics and Raytheon and BAE Systems and SAIC, they all show up and put in their contributions to that member of Congress.
	And then when it comes to appropriation time, boy, that member of Congress votes thumbs up.
	We're going to send the money to you.
	So, you know, it's really that corrupt circle that's going around.
	And when they decide on weapons systems, again, it's not based upon a plan that says, okay, look, We are going to be facing the increased likelihood of drone and missile technology.
	So the very last thing we want to have are aircraft carriers who are extremely vulnerable to hypersonic missiles, which the Russians and Chinese happen to have in You know, ample supply of, and we don't have, because we haven't developed it yet.
	We've failed in our development efforts.
	Right.
	So, we end up spending, what is it, 70-plus million dollars on F-35 fighters, and then, you know, when you start getting into, they become so prohibitively expensive, That you then get really worried about, gosh, can we even deploy it here or could it get shot down?
	So, I mean, it's ridiculous.
	And so we're right now, if we had to go toe-to-toe with the Russians, they would beat us and beat us badly.
	I think your assessment is spot on.
	Todd, I know you've got a series of questions you want to lead off with.
	Go for it.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Larry, for being here.
	Larry Johnson, sonar21.com.
	Before I get to the big question that I'd like to ask, which is how big is the risk of a third world war, I'd like to talk about Operation Extermination.
	I just read Right before we got on this, JapanToday.com, Trump endorses the Gaza cost.
	I see Trump backs Israel's war in Gaza.
	He was asked if he supported Israel and their war in Gaza.
	And he said yes, that he was in Israel's camp.
	And he stated this, which just stunned me.
	You've got to finish the problem.
	Oh my gosh.
	Yeah, I look at this and I'm like, first, you know, two-part question.
	Is combating alleged terrorism a valid excuse, Larry, to commit genocide?
	That's question one.
	The second question, I'll ask it now, is what's really going on in Gaza?
	Because I can't reconcile it.
	I just cannot reconcile it.
	Yeah, we've always used the threat of terrorism as an excuse to commit crimes.
	We saw that in the so-called war on terror in the aftermath of 9-11, where they decided it was a good thing.
	The CIA had no training or experience.
	They didn't train any of their case officers in interrogation.
	And, naturally so, because the role of a CIA case officer, someone who goes overseas to recruit spies, it's like a seduction process.
	You know, trying to get a date with a man or a woman, depending on who you're after.
	So, they went outside, and they started engaging in torture.
	And we justified using the torture because, well, Kiefer Sutherland did it on 24, and Vince Flynn wrote about it in his books.
	I just put a piece up last night that I was friends with Vince until he became so famous that he got rid of his old friends.
	But early on in one of his early books, he credited me as being, quote, I want you as my technical advisor when they make this book into a movie.
	And yet, you know, Vince went down this rabbit hole of, well, you know, the end justifies the means.
	No, it doesn't.
	You know, that's point number one, because once you lower yourself to behaving like the terrorists, then you become the very thing which you claim that you're trying to stop.
	And, you know, I've had experience training Israeli police officers, and this is back in, say, probably 2002.
	And they were in Washington, D.C. for a senior crisis management seminar.
	And I asked them at the time, I said, what was Israel's most effective counterterrorism operation?
	And most of them said, oh, it was on Tevi.
	And I said, no, you're wrong.
	And they looked at me and they said, well, what do you think it is?
	I said, it was the capture of Adolf Eichmann Who played a key role in the Holocaust in exterminating over 450,000 Jews in Hungary, sending them to Auschwitz.
	I said, because what you guys did is you captured him, but then you put him on trial.
	You subjected him to Israeli law.
	You gave him the presumption of innocence.
	You allowed him to have defense counsel.
	You allowed him to confront the witnesses.
	But in the end, he was found guilty.
	But you treated him fairly.
	You showed that you were not like the Nazis.
	You showed that you were different, that you abided by a rule of law.
	Now, we've lived long enough, and this brings me to the second part of your question, that Israel has forgotten those roots.
	It's now behaving exactly like the Nazis.
	It is doing the same sort of extermination and genocide that That the Nazis used.
	They haven't gotten to gas chambers yet.
	But Gaza itself was one big concentration camp, or at least a ghetto.
	Oh, that's not fair.
	Oh, really?
	So go back and look at the Warsaw Ghetto where the Jews were incarcerated, starting, I think, in 1940.
	They could not enter or leave at will.
	They were guarded by Nazi guards at every entrance to it.
	Food that entered into the facility was controlled.
	Just like Gaza.
	Just like Gaza.
	No citizen of Gaza can freely leave or enter at will.
	Israel guards the borders, and now they're controlling the arrival of food and humanitarian aid.
	The weaponization of food scarcity, that's a weapon of mass destruction, you could say, targeting the civilian population.
	Clearly it's a violation of numerous international treaties, if not just moral code.
	But we don't even get to treat prisoners of war that way.
	Right.
	You know, the Geneva Convention requires that with combatants, you know, you've got to make sure they have adequate food and that they're treated well.
	And so what we've witnessed is, and this is the other reason I claim that Israel now is acting like Nazis.
	The essence of the Nazi philosophy, and even the fascist philosophy, is that It assumes that there is one race or one group of people that are superior to others.
	So they don't subscribe to the belief that all men, women, children are created equal by God.
	They enter a system where there are some who are more equal than others, and therefore as long as the others are untermensch, that they're less than human, you can do whatever you want to them.
	You can kill them.
	You can rape them.
	You can torture them.
	You can starve them to death.
	It doesn't matter because they're not the same as you.
	They're not entitled to the same rights as you.
	Well, you're allowed to use the term Zionism on this show, by the way.
	We don't have to censor ourselves.
	But, Todd, I'm really glad you brought that up from Trump.
	I was not aware of that quote.
	Now, I voted for Trump just a couple of days ago here in the primaries in Texas because I've been very public about this.
	I don't agree with everything Trump's doing, but the alternatives are far worse.
	And, Larry, my question to you is...
	I think many Americans believe that the CIA, which has run a lot of color revolutions and so on in other countries around the world, was heavily involved in the rigging of the 2020 election.
	Whether or not you agree with that assessment, do you think that the CIA or other intelligence agencies will be involved in trying to rig this year's election in order to stop Trump?
	Well, in fact, I was one of the first ones to blow the whistle on the CIA's involvement in the 2016 election in particular.
	In fact, Matt Taibbi recently wrote a piece with Michael Schellenberger, and they credited me with having been one of the first ones out there with that story.
	Because starting in 2015, John Brennan, who was then the head of the CIA, put together a task force at the Central Intelligence Agency.
	And what a task force is, it's where you bring together analysts, operations personnel, admin personnel, the science and technology personnel, as well as people from other agencies, from the FBI, from the Department of Defense, from the Department of State.
	You bring them together to work on a focused task.
	The task started off as they were collecting intelligence on all the candidates that were running against Hillary Clinton, both Republican and Democrat.
	So they were collecting on Bernie Sanders.
	They were collecting on Ted Cruz.
	They were collecting on Marco Rubio.
	They were collecting on Donald Trump.
	And that started in the summer of 2015.
	Because remember, in the summer of 2015, it wasn't clear yet who the new Republican nominee would be.
	That's right.
	There is one of the WikiLeaks cables that came out from the Hillary Clinton emails was an exchange between John Podesta, the campaign chairman, and a guy named Badowski.
	And Mr.
	Badowski, Brent Badowski is his name, and he was a Democratic operative.
	And they were talking about how what they needed to do with Donald Trump was paint him as with a bromance with Vladimir Putin.
	They were going they're going to use the Russia strategy to discredit Trump.
	They made that decision in December and CIA was rapidly on board with it.
	CIA was working with British intelligence.
	British intelligence was actively involved in identifying George Papadopoulos, for example, who was then targeted and used as, you know, he was set up.
	And they used him to try to create evidence to prove the lie that Donald Trump was under the control or being influenced by the Russians, by Vladimir Putin, or that the Russians were interfering in the election.
	The ones who interfered in the election were British intelligence, U.S. intelligence, including both the CIA and the FBI. And I don't think they're done at all.
	I think they remain active in trying to sabotage Donald Trump.
	But Larry, why?
	I mean, is the CIA an overtly corrupt arm of the government?
	Are there any decent people left?
	Or is leadership just in it for the brown paper bag, lollipops, and fancy pants?
	No.
	Well, there are still good people of integrity at the CIA, but they're not running the place.
	That's number one.
	And the reason Trump is a threat, I agree with what you were saying earlier about criticizing his policy towards Israel, but he's not alone in that.
	That's sort of a bipartisan failure in this country.
	Both Republicans and Democrats are beholden to the Israeli Political Action Committee.
	So there's this heavy support for the Zionist movement among the upper echelon of both the Democrat and Republican parties.
	But what Trump represents is a threat to the deep state, to the corruption, to this revolving door that goes on where people that go into one, you know, where this Department of Defense or CIA, they get out, they go, they work maybe up on the hill.
	They then work with defense contractors.
	And a lot of money is being made.
	I just have to insert myself here.
	Is it or is it just kabuki theater?
	Because when President Trump was in his first term, and I don't believe his first term didn't result in a second term, but it was like he was an empty suit.
	I mean, I... There were all of these things, whether it's lock her up or in his position on the vaccines and everything.
	I feel sometimes when people start talking about his support of the Gaza cost right now and giving him kind of a pass that, oh, well, that's kind of the same, the leadership of both sides.
	At what point in time do we stop and say, no, this is wrong?
	Well, he was naive.
	He was naive when he started.
	In fact, a good friend of mine, he held a job that was very sensitive in the intelligence community, which meant that he had regular contact with not only Trump, he'd had contact previously with Obama and before that, George W. Bush.
	And he told Trump at the start of his term that, hey, you need to get rid of these people, particularly at the top of the CIA and the director of national intelligence.
	And Trump just said, oh, no, no, I've got this under control.
	Well, two years later, Trump saw him at a Christmas party at the White House and went over to him and said, I should have listened to you.
	You were right.
	So Trump was naive.
	He thought, you know, hey, I made all these deals with real estate, people in New York, with mobsters, you know, I can handle these guys.
	This is like organized crime on a different scale.
	And it requires, and that's why they view Trump as a threat.
	Because Trump's not one that's going to come to Washington, D.C. and get wealthy.
	He started off wealthy.
	So he doesn't need to make his money As Joe Biden has, as Barack Obama has, as George W. Bush has, as Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have.
	And it's not just them.
	Nancy Pelosi.
	Go down the list.
	Mitch McConnell.
	Zelensky.
	Yeah, it's, you know, it would be unfair to call it a whorehouse.
	Because at least at a house of ill repute, you at least pay your money and get satisfaction.
	Here in Washington, D.C., you pay your money and just get screwed.
	Larry, I want to shift gears here and ask you about this, and to my producers, run my screen here, if you would, please, for a moment, because what I'm showing here is now, in New York City, Governor Hochul, of course, has deployed 1,000 troops, a combination of National Guard and, I think, state troopers and others, that are now...
	I mean, you've got armed...
	You know, camo-wearing military troops and law enforcement officers in the subways, blatantly violating Fourth Amendment rights of the citizens, just saying, hey, we want to search your bags.
	And for the most part, those citizens are saying, sure, here, search my bags.
	Make me feel safe.
	How crazy is that?
	What's your take on what the hell is going on in New York City that requires a thousand troops in the subway right now?
	Well, you've had a complete loss of control.
	But that loss of control has been caused by people like Alvin Bragg.
	And by the own laws that they passed, basically they got rid of bail.
	And so the policies that Rudy Giuliani enacted back in 1999 going into 2000-2001, where they got zero tolerance.
	So if you were jumping the toll at the subway, you got arrested and incarcerated.
	People, they could stop and search people.
	They did violate the Fourth Amendment, but they caught a lot of drugs and guns, got them off the streets.
	So New York City actually went through quite a renaissance where it was not this filthy, dirty place, dangerous.
	Well, it's gotten dirty, dangerous, and filthy again.
	And then it's all because of the lack of leadership, both by the current mayor and the previous mayor and the previous governor of, you know, the Cuomo and now the Hochul.
	So, you know, finally things have gotten so bad that when they have to activate the National Guard, you know, I can understand New Yorkers being happy to see them because, you know, you've got people being pushed under subway trains.
	And robbed and assaulted and attacked.
	I mean, heavens, even the two cops a few weeks ago were pummeled by a group of Venezuelan immigrants.
	You know, they got ganged up on.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Go ahead, Todd.
	I was going to say, isn't this all controlled demolition, though?
	I mean, the leadership of this country right now and of the major cities are nothing but a bunch of, I mean, communists.
	Yeah, well...
	Again, I'm not sure what we mean anymore when we call people communists.
	What I look at is, do they enforce the laws or not?
	Do they enforce the laws fairly or not?
	Do they hold people accountable for their actions?
	You know, if that's anti-communism, then I'm all in favor of that.
	And if doing the opposite of that is communism, I'm opposed to that.
	But what we've had is this...
	And again, it's...
	I don't like to necessarily label it as communists because we've seen it on both sides of the political aisle with both Republican and Democrat, not holding people accountable.
	Go back to 9-11, 2001.
	Who in the George W. Bush administration Was held accountable for that intelligence failure.
	Who?
	Nobody.
	They gave excuses.
	They gave everybody a pass.
	Some of them got promoted.
	And then you get the failures and judgment of, oh yeah, weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
	That didn't exist.
	But we got over 4,000 American boys and girls killed in a fruitless, feckless adventure there.
	And then look at the latest with what's happened to Ukraine.
	Nobody in the intelligence community stood up and provided the president or anybody or any member of Congress with any intelligence to suggest that, hey...
	Putting sanctions on Russia is a bad idea because Russia controls so many natural resources, it's not going to affect them.
	And in fact, it's going to probably incentivize Russia to stop using the U.S. dollar and working with other countries to stop using the U.S. dollar that it may actually hurt us a lot more than it's going to hurt Russia.
	Well, and that's exactly what happened.
	I'm so glad you brought that up.
	And it has utterly obliterated the economy of Germany, not to mention the rest of Western Europe.
	And I almost laughed the other day when I saw a headline that some leader in the EU wants to put the EU on a wartime economy track.
	Now, I'm like, with what energy?
	You know, you don't have energy.
	You can't build tanks.
	Are you kidding yourself?
	Well, remember, Germany's being run by the Green Party with this whole climate change nonsense.
	Exactly.
	Another scam.
	That'll end well.
	Yeah, we live in an era of lies.
	We're told the lies about, oh, if we don't stop using petroleum, the world's going to end in eight years and all the oceanfront properties owned by the Clintons and the Obamas are going to get swallowed up by the sea, which is why they're spending millions of dollars to build oceanfront properties.
	Just, you know, so you stick with that.
	Oh, you know what?
	Men can get pregnant and can breastfeed.
	And so we're going to, you know, just because you say you're a potato, you get to be a potato.
	And not only can men get pregnant, Larry, but Ukraine has just announced they're going to have another counteroffensive that's going to work this time.
	They're really going to kick Russia's butt.
	Yeah, don't hold your breath on that.
	Hey, Larry, I have a really important question.
	This was based upon listening to you during another interview.
	But speaking of Zelensky, how tall would a Ukrainian president have to be to join NATO, Larry?
	How what?
	How tall?
	It's like six flags over Texas.
	You've got to be this high to get on this ride.
	I think the idea ought to be that Macron and Zelensky can stand on each other's shoulders and maybe reach the height requirement.
	It is remarkable We've got so many people in the administration, like the Victoria Nuland, thankfully she's on her way out, Tony Blinken, and then many of the other neocons.
	One of the reasons they always identify Russia as the bad guy is because of Russia's imperial history of being anti-Semitic and persecuting Jews and the pogroms.
	And then when you ask, hey, so where were your role at this from?
	So, Anthony Blinken's great-grandfather, who was a victim of these pogroms, where was he from?
	Just outside of Kiev.
	That's Ukraine.
	That's not Russia.
	And so what you find is that this concentration of anti-Semitic activity and persecution of Jews took place in what we call present-day Ukraine.
	Now, Ukraine didn't begin to exist as a country on a map until after 1904.
	But the point is that now we're back in a country that is largely inspired by neo-Nazi beliefs.
	And people just try to pretend that, oh, they can't be Nazi.
	They've got a Jew as a president.
	Well...
	Sorry.
	Go back and look at what the Nazis did in World War II. They set up in all of the ghettos Judenrat.
	The Judenrat were governing councils headed by the local, by Jews, by prominent Jews.
	Right.
	And many of them were corrupt.
	Many of them colluded with the Nazis, and all of them wound up dead in the gas chambers in Auschwitz.
	They thought they could buy their way out, and it turned out they couldn't.
	So here's Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
	Who grew up speaking Russian, not Ukrainian, claiming now to be the ultra-Ukrainian, and they can't be Nazis because he's Jewish.
	Well, excuse me, that's exactly what's going on in Ukraine.
	And the refusal to admit that is just shameful.
	But it's part of this whole Truman Show reality that the West is living under and they only get their information from their own bubble so the delusions are reinforced.
	But I want to ask you about Victoria Nuland because of course she announced her resignation That is a monumental event in the relations between Europe and the United States as well as Russia and the United States.
	I want to ask your assessment of why she resigned.
	I mean, it was out of the blue.
	It was a surprise as far as any of us know, but was it tied to the fact that the German audio leaked that there was going to be a German missile attack on the Crimean Bridge?
	Is there any indication that that was one of Newland's nasty surprises, or is that unrelated?
	I think it's unrelated.
	Let's understand who she was.
	So she was a career Foreign Service officer.
	That means she took the Foreign Service exam, passed, and was accepted in, and then she rose through the ranks pretty quickly.
	She became Chief of Staff to Strobe Talbot.
	I think he was at one point Deputy Secretary of State or maybe in charge of what they call the Undersecretary for Political Affairs.
	So ultimately, she came back into the Biden administration as the Undersecretary for Political Affairs.
	From the standpoint of a Foreign Service officer, there are only two jobs at State Department ultimately worth having.
	Well, really three.
	Either to be called ambassador.
	Once you get that title, you got that for life.
	Or to be Secretary of State.
	Or to be the Under Secretary for Political Affairs.
	The reason for that is the undersecretary for political affairs sits atop all of the regional bureaus.
	So that means the Latin America section, the section that deals with Africa, the section that deals with Europe, the section that deals with the Middle East, the section that deals with Southeast Asia and Southwest Asia, and then with Russia, all of them report and then with Russia, all of them report to that undersecretary.
	Very powerful position, because that person then determines which cables goes out.
	What's the policy positions?
	What are our top four or five priorities?
	So she was setting that.
	They made her acting deputy secretary.
	And I've heard some speculate that, oh, because she wasn't going to get full deputy secretary, that's why she left?
	Yeah.
	The deputy secretary is like being vice president.
	Someone, I think it was a garner who described it as it was like a cup of warm spit, or maybe that was Harry Truman.
	It's not a great job to have, but the undersecretary for political affairs, important job.
	I think part of what's going on is Newland realized that the Biden administration is shifting its policy away from Ukraine.
	And that her efforts to try to stop that, to try to counter that, were rebuffed.
	And so she's resigning in protest because she's no longer going to be a party to the sellout of Ukraine.
	And I think the sellout of Ukraine is coming.
	That was my next question, actually.
	I'm glad you brought that up.
	Is the Biden administration ready to just abandon Ukraine, shift to the Middle East or China even, and just hope the American people have really short memories, which they do, by the way, and just let Ukraine collapse under the weight of its own failed corruption or what?
	What's the plan, you think?
	Well, I don't think either of you are old enough to remember Captain Kangaroo, or maybe you do.
	Yeah, I'm older than I look.
	I do remember Captain Kangaroo.
	So, right next to Mr.
	Rogers on those mornings.
	You remember the...
	Trick, whatever he did, where he had all those plates, spinning plates and all these sticks.
	You know, I had like 10 plates spinning and trying to keep them up so they don't fall down.
	That's the Biden administration right now, except their hair is on fire.
	The hair is on fire in the Middle East.
	The hair is on fire with the Houthis.
	The hair is on fire with Iran.
	The hair is on fire with China.
	And boy, they got a full-fledged conflagration going with Ukraine.
	So where do you...
	Great managers.
	You only got a bucket of water now.
	You only got one bucket.
	Maybe two.
	Which fire are you going to put out first?
	Two years ago, the only fire in town really was Ukraine.
	China was out there on the fringes, but there wasn't that much concern yet about China.
	But that's not the case today.
	So, at the top of the pyramid, the number one priority is what's going on in Israel and Palestine.
	And Joe Biden, they're trying to walk a tightrope on this.
	On the one hand, he does not want to alienate the American-Israeli Political Action Committee.
	He wants to stand strong with Israel, back them up.
	But they realize they've got a real political problem within the Democrat ranks that the people up in Minnesota and Michigan, the Muslim populations, Arab and American populations, they're not having any of it.
	Let me...
	Go ahead.
	No, I'm sorry, but...
	To kind of aggregate what you're saying here, the incompetence and the arrogance of the current administration in the State Department has long-term consequences that will affect every American.
	We're talking about the rise and fall of nations.
	And I want to show something on my screen here.
	This is from TASS, the Russian news agency.
	Kremlin announces creation of blockchain-based payment system in BRICS. So the...
	The economic sanctions against Russia, plus the current argument of the West wanting to steal the nearly $300 billion in Russian assets held in Western banks, essentially, held in Western currency, this has only, I would argue, accelerated the move of Russia, Iran, China, and other BRICS nations to find an alternative to dollar transactions.
	And there was another headline just today, I think it's India, I'm pretty sure it's India announcing The dollar is no longer necessary for trading in any energy in and out of India.
	You can pay in rupees now.
	That's on top of the rubles in Russia and so on and the yuan.
	Isn't it exactly this kind of thing that the Bidens and the Newlands and so on have pushed us toward which can end U.S. financial dominance and end the quality of life that we have known our entire lives?
	Yeah, well, it is ending.
	It's coming to an end.
	We're witnessing the end of an era.
	And it was so unnecessary.
	You know, Russia today is not what the Soviet Union was.
	And in fact, I've argued that in many aspects, the United States is becoming more like what the old Soviet Union was when they were ruled by a gerontocracy, a bunch of doddering old guys, you know, that probably had to wear adult the pins like Joe Biden.
	Mentally unfit.
	Becoming sclerotic at the top.
	And then having an economy that was not necessarily working well.
	There's so much...
	Russia and the United States really should be natural allies.
	What Russia has become is a Christian nation.
	A very strongly Christian nation.
	With the Eastern Orthodox Church.
	And they're very, very prominent.
	There are the number of Americans and Australians and Canadians that are moving to Russia with large families because Russia is welcoming.
	Russia rejects the whole woke ideology.
	Vladimir Putin is very upfront about, hey...
	You know, if you're homosexual, what you do in the privacy of your bedroom, that's your business.
	Well, we're not going to make that a policy of state.
	We're going to encourage the marriage of men and women, the families of mothers and fathers.
	In fact, he made that point at the youth conference just yesterday where he said everyone's born from a mother and a father.
	And so, you know, they're very traditional in that regard.
	They have fought and won a war against Islamic extremists.
	They oppose Islamic extremists.
	They are very much against the importation and use of drugs, things like fentanyl and other substances.
	So we've got a lot of areas where we would be in agreement culturally or at least used to be in agreement culturally.
	And that's part of the problem.
	The United States is facing its own internal civil war, where we're destroying ourselves with the drug trafficking, with the rising crime, with the embrace of these so-called alternative lifestyles, which at the very heart of it is an attack on Christianity.
	Not just an attack on Christianity, because Muslims as well reject Christianity.
	This notion that men can be women, women can be men.
	It's the attack on the family.
	Yeah, it's the attack on the family.
	That's right, that's right.
	Muslim families, Christian families, Jewish families, just all family values are under attack.
	I would argue family values are human values.
	This is the sustainability of the human race.
	So those who are attacking it are anti-human, or promoting anti-human ideas, I should say.
	Larry, Todd, I'll go to you next, but I just want to give Larry a chance to describe his website, sonar21.com.
	Larry, you want to give us a quick overview of what people can find on your website?
	It's sort of my psychotherapy, where I try to look at what's going on in the world and try to, because of my background, having worked at the CIA, Having worked at State Department to encounter terrorism, and in that job worked closely with both the FBI,
	with transportation security, with U.S. military special operations, I bring a very unique view, understanding both how intelligence and policy come together, what are a lot of the factors that are unseen that people don't understand that could be helping produce a policy.
	You know, for example, when the New York Times put out a piece over a week ago Monday describing all the CIA activities in Ukraine, my job was to help explain what that really means.
	That was not just the result of some intrepid reporter getting his hands on a story.
	This was a deliberate leak, and it had a very specific purpose.
	And so my goal is to try to cut through the propaganda that is bombarding the American public And force them into looking at the alternatives and recognizing when they're being played, when they're being lied to.
	Larry, I'm sorry to interrupt, but why put your neck on the line to do what you do?
	What drives you?
	Because you're doing a lot of interviews.
	I've always been a contrarian.
	You know, you can go back and look at my third grade report cards.
	Talks too much.
	Who knew?
	It would come in handy.
	I'm not making money off of it, that's for sure.
	I was a Fox News analyst for a year, 2002, going into 2003.
	And when I did the Hannity and Combs show back in November of 2002...
	I was asked about, should we go into Iraq?
	And I said at the time, invading Iraq would be a mistake, that the United States was not in a position to fight a two-front war, and that we should focus on Afghanistan and finish the job there.
	Well, Roger Ailes took umbrage with that, sent down word that I wasn't to be allowed on air anymore.
	Oh, wow.
	To his credit, though, they paid out the contract.
	It ended in January.
	But they made sure that I was no longer on air.
	And I used to be sort of, you know, interviewed fairly frequently by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, you know, all of the various cable and broadcast news shows.
	But when I became a critic of Barack Obama, boy, I lost the line.
	That's not allowed either.
	So, you know, I've been alienating to both sides on the issues, both the so-called conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats.
	I just feel I've never liked bullies, and that's been my thing.
	I'm with you on that.
	And so my speaking out is my effort to punch back against bullies.
	Well, we are, on this show, we're not tied to any political tribe either, or any religious tribe, you might say.
	Thank you, Larry.
	Thank you, Larry.
	This isn't about joining a tribe.
	This is about, we've got to use our brains and our moral compass if we're going to bring us back to what this country was founded on.
	But Todd, it's all yours.
	Amen.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, I mean, we talk a lot about NPCs, non-playing characters, and I submit that our job right now is to go out and find others like us.
	And who are the like us?
	It's those who possess the ability to critically think.
	So thank you for being a leader in critical thinking.
	You know, the movie Wag the Dog destroyed me forever because now I look at war a little bit differently and I know it's really good for big business.
	It's good for business.
	But what I can't reconcile that maybe you can help me out because I know from a fascism standpoint that, you know, big business is when you talk about deep state, I don't know who Deep State is.
	Who are they?
	Maybe you do.
	But I have a sneaky suspicion it has something to do with the major, huge corporations that run the show, the Black Rocks, etc.
	My question is this.
	Illegal immigration is going to be the destruction of our country.
	And my question is...
	Who benefits?
	Help me understand the money flow.
	Who in this crazy country that's running the show are benefiting from all of these illegal immigrants coming in?
	I just don't know.
	One of my good friends, Mark Thompson.
	Mark was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Counterterrorism.
	He'd served in the Marine Corps, left the Marine Corps as a major, was one of the whistleblowers on Benghazi, caught a lot of pressure after that, was basically forced to resign.
	He retired, lives in Iowa, Clarion, Iowa, and he's become an Iowa state legislator recently.
	The reason I raise his name, he's been a leader now in Iowa going after the human trafficking, which all stems from these illegal immigrants.
	And why is he worried about it in Iowa?
	Well, these illegal immigrants are being funneled into turkey farms, pig farms, chicken farms, meat packers.
	And a lot of those people that own those businesses tend to be Republican, not just Democrat, Republican.
	And so there's money to be made because you can bring in these illegals.
	You don't have to provide them with health care.
	You don't have to provide them with a minimum wage.
	You can basically, you've got slave labor.
	And they take advantage and exploit these people.
	Some of them are so desperate to get into the United States that they'll put up with that.
	And then, you know, several of the young women and the young men, they're sex trafficked.
	You know, they're forced to sell their bodies.
	So there are people making money off of that, too.
	Okay.
	Okay, thank you.
	Todd, that's a very important question.
	You know, follow the money, you're absolutely correct.
	But there's also, I mean, we've covered before how the corrupt Democrats in California get, you know, money under the table from the drug traffickers.
	Cartels pay them off to look the other way.
	And I'm sure it's not just Democrats that are involved in that, you know?
	Guys, it's U.S. corporations.
	So one of the things, me and my partners, I had two other partners, John Moynihan, Bobby Nieves.
	When we started Berg Associates in 1998, Bob had been the chief of international ops at DEA. John Moynihan ran DEA's undercover money laundering operations in New York City.
	One of our very first projects was to bring a civil racketeering case against the tobacco company.
	We started with Philip Morris.
	Our client in this was the European Union and the governors of Colombia.
	It should have been a criminal case, but it was a civil case.
	Philip Morris settled because what they were doing was they were working with the drug traffickers, with the Mexican cartel, with the Colombian cartel.
	Knowingly, willingly, we had the evidence.
	Doing what?
	What were they doing with the cartels?
	They were laundering money because what would happen is the cartels would pay a premium for a master case of cigarettes and then the cartels would take those master cases of cigarettes.
	Then they would sell them at a discount.
	So yeah, they'd lose $60, $70 a master case with a master case normally costing around $250, $300.
	But then the drug cartels could say, hey, This money came from the sale of cigarettes.
	It didn't come from selling drug trafficking.
	But we had evidence where Philip Morris executives would fly into Venezuela and then cross the border and go into a small town called MyCal.
	And MyCal was the smuggling center for Colombia.
	And The state senator for that was a guy named Santander Lope Sierra.
	Well, he was a graduate of Southern Illinois University, a Saluki.
	You know, that was the mascot.
	But he was known in Colombia as the Marlboro Man because he controlled the distribution of Marlboro cigarettes.
	No kidding.
	And so these Philip Morris executives would come in, they'd pick up bags of cash, Third-party checks, U.S. postal money orders that are not supposed to be outside the United States.
	And then they took them back, and a lot of the money was deposited into Russian banks.
	They were laundering it through Russian banks.
	We knew that because one of our other first jobs was on the Bank of New York Russian money laundering case, and we got the bank records for a bunch of Russian banks who were able to track their transactions.
	Wow.
	And it's not just, look, it's not just Philip Morris.
	John Deere.
	We got called in by the security director for John Deere several years ago because they were getting these odd checks that were being drawn.
	You know, the normal way is like if you're going to buy a $2 million tractor, will you draw up a check, $2 million in your name?
	Hey, Mike Brown, here you go.
	No, that's not what was happening.
	They were getting what are called third-party checks.
	And what was taking place is the Colombian drug traffickers set up a system called the Black Market Peso, which was a way that people could buy U.S. dollars on the black market and then pay for goods in the United States.
	And when we informed John Deere about this, the CEO told the security director, never mind, it's not our problem, we're not going to worry about it.
	So my point is, it's not just the politicians.
	It's mainstream business.
	And it cuts across.
	It's liquor companies, it's tobacco companies, it's companies that sell shoes, electronics, because there's so much money to be made.
	Well, let's follow the money to the tip of the spear.
	And as I understand it, I may be off by 5% or so, but I think the number is 85%.
	Of all business within the United States flows up through two companies, BlackRock and Vanguard.
	Those are the two.
	So you think about the leadership of those two organizations, and when you start talking about deep state, I can't help but to think that the money flows there and that they're pulling the strings.
	You're talking about public companies that are held.
	Yes.
	85%.
	In the deep state, you're dealing with senior bureaucrats.
	People who have risen to the level of GS-14, GS-15, or the first Senior Executive Service, SES, or an intelligence site.
	It's called SIS, Senior Intelligence Service.
	And, you know, they're careers, and they recognize we can outweigh any president.
	But they got weaponized.
	They got weaponized in 2016 in a way that we've never seen before.
	Who weaponized them?
	Well, they weaponized themselves because, you know, John Brennan, for example, he was counting on, you know, a better position with Hillary Clinton, counting on her winning the election.
	I know for a fact that there were two of the generals who used to run the Joint Special Operations Command.
	One was an Army general and one was a Navy admiral that they they were present with a with someone I know.
	And they were arguing in the summer of 2015 over what job they were going to get in the Hillary Clinton administration.
	Yep.
	So they were pissed off when Trump won, and when you say weaponized, they decided that, okay, you guys have messed, you walked into the wrong saloon here, and we're going to destroy you.
	They went after Mike Flynn.
	They deliberately targeted and falsely accused him.
	Absolutely.
	Send in a message.
	Larry, I want to be respectful of your time, and I can't believe the hour's already gone.
	But one last question.
	Do we make it to Election Day here this year?
	Do you think we have proper presidential elections this year, or is the deep state so desperate that they'll find a way to stop it?
	No, I think we'll make it to Election Day.
	We've made it to elections during the Civil War.
	We made it to elections during World War II, during World War I, so we'll make it.
	The question is whether the Republicans will, frankly, get off their ass and do what's necessary in order to ensure the integrity of the electoral system.
	We already saw that in places like Georgia where the governor, ostensibly a Republican, completely abdicated his role and that they did not even follow proper procedures in Georgia.
	And Donald Trump only lost that state by 12,000 votes.
	Right.
	And yet they say that his claim that the election was stolen is absurd.
	What's absurd is to accept the fact that that was a legitimate election.
	That's what's absurd.
	Yes, clearly.
	All right.
	Well, Larry, I really want to thank you for your time and your analysis and also your patriotism to this great republic.
	And your website, sonar21.com, that's where people can follow your work.
	And we've really enjoyed this conversation.
	And I'd love to have you back in the future.
	Be happy to do so, guys.
	Thank you for having me.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you, Larry.
	You rock.
	You're awesome.
	Yeah, thanks a lot.
	Have mouth.
	We'll travel.
	Love it.
	All right.
	All right.
	I just want to see the video from your third grade class.
	That's all.
	I don't ask for much.
	A nightmare.
	We're all fortunate that we're old enough that there weren't videos of our childhood posted all over the internet.
	Yeah, true.
	Thank God for that.
	Okay.
	Thank you, Larry.
	And Todd and I will be back after this short break with our after-party discussion.
	So stay tuned with us here on Decentralized.tv.
	Also, have you seen these?
	These are gold backs, and we've got different denominations to show you there.
	They come in 50, 25, 10, 5, and 1s.
	That's a stack of 1s.
	This is 1,000th of a troy ounce of gold, and it's embedded in the polymer layers in the gold backs, and you can get them, again, at those different denominations, so it's good divisibility of gold.
	And since the gold is in the goldback itself, it's not some fiat currency.
	It's actually a piece of gold that you can use for gifts or barter or trade.
	Even in a local community, if the grid goes down, a lot of people might be using gold and silver or goldbacks.
	Now, if you go to our website, verifiedgoldbacks.com, that's our affiliate site, we do earn a little bit off your purchase there, but what we've done is we've done the laboratory testing.
	And on that site, you'll see my lab test results, how we tested them using a kiln, using an ICP-MS mass spec instrument, using an acid stone test here as well.
	We verified the purity and the masses of the gold that are embedded in these different bills.
	And in fact, I've got here in these vials in my hands right here, this is actually one of the pellets of gold.
	I melted it down into like a BB shape.
	I don't know if you can see it, but I've got gold in these three vials right here.
	Yeah, there you can kind of see it moving around there.
	You can hear them.
	And we did the tests on these, and this is the gold that came out of these goldbacks.
	So we were able to confirm the gold is real.
	It's 24 karat plus, and it actually exceeds the mass that's required.
	Our recovery ranged from 102% to about 100 and, what was it, typically 105%.
	I've got the results here.
	Check this out.
	Look at these photos.
	I did all this myself.
	So if you melt them down, you get this, and then you keep melting, you get it into like a pellet, and then you use an analytical balance in the laboratory, and you do the math.
	It's pretty amazing.
	At first you get this gold foil, which is pretty cool, and then you can melt the foil into this BB pellet-looking thing.
	Anyway, here's the recoveries we got.
	From a low of 102.89%, or 101.96%, that's the lowest, to 107% recovery.
	And the bottom line is, if you want real gold in your hands that's divisible, that is also incredibly beautiful, that people instantly love, they recognize this, they see, wow, that's gold, and they're actually looking at gold.
	This isn't paint.
	This is the gold just kind of made really thin and put into this format and then sandwiched between polymers.
	Goldbacks are your answer.
	So check out verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	And there you can purchase goldbacks and you can help support this platform at the same time because we earn a small percentage.
	And this is a really good form of off-grid money.
	And you might have gold coins or silver coins.
	And I strongly encourage gold and silver coins, but a gold coin is a pretty big piece of value to try to trade with, you know?
	You're at a farmer's market, like, I want a loaf of bread.
	What do you have?
	I have a one-ounce gold coin.
	Well, that's worth $2,200.
	Gold's skyrocketing.
	So, what are you going to do?
	Like, buy a loaf of bread and then give me change for the one ounce of gold?
	No.
	But if you're trying to buy that loaf of bread with a gold bag, you say, hey, how would you like one one thousandth of an ounce of gold for that loaf of bread in this format, gold bags, which actually has a premium over just the raw price of gold because it's better than just one one thousandth of an ounce of gold.
	I mean, it's in a format that's...
	It's beautiful to look at.
	It's durable.
	You can carry it.
	It fits in a wallet or a pocket or a purse.
	A lot of merchants will say, absolutely, I'll take that gold.
	And now you can buy a loaf of bread or you can buy a bag of potatoes or whatever, depending on what the economy looks like after the debt collapse.
	I don't know what it's going to look like exactly, but I know I want gold and silver, and I want to have lots of different options of money that works off-grid.
	So, yeah, our grid's not reliable.
	Our monetary system is not reliable.
	The currency's not reliable.
	But you know what you can count on?
	Physical gold and silver in your hands.
	That's what you can count on.
	It doesn't need a password.
	You don't need to log in.
	It doesn't need the bank's permission to have value.
	It doesn't need the backing of a government.
	You don't have to have faith in the treasury to confiscate money from people.
	This has value all by itself.
	And gold has had value for centuries.
	I mean, come on, millennia, what am I saying?
	And it will continue to have value long after the collapse of the dollar and probably the collapse of Western civilization itself.
	So, there you go.
	That's why the wealthy are buying gold like crazy.
	That's why gold is spiking.
	What is it now?
	Let me actually bring it up.
	Gold.
	Here it is right now, gold at $2,128.
	Silver at $23.67.
	These are all skyrocketing.
	Bitcoin is skyrocketing.
	Gold is skyrocketing.
	Monero is skyrocketing.
	Why?
	Because people who know what's about to happen, they are bailing out of the banks.
	They're bailing out of the dollars.
	They're getting out of the system.
	They're going to off-grid forms of asset protection, and that's gold and silver and land and certain types of crypto and maybe food supplies or ammunition supplies.
	And if you want food, of course, check us out at healthrangerstore.com, and we've got you covered there.
	So consider your options, do your research, and make sure you are ready for what's about to happen.
	Look at that.
	That's beautiful.
	That's gold.
	This is so cool.
	The 50 is thick.
	It is very thick.
	And it's much larger than the 1.
	Because there's 51 thousandths of an ounce of gold in this.
	And if you can feel it, it's heavier.
	It's thicker.
	Because the gold is actually in there.
	You really can't put much more gold in a bill than fifty-one-thousandths of an ounce.
	So they've done a great job with this, the gold-backed company, and this is something that has really intrigued a lot of people, and it's another form of having stores of value that are highly divisible and have high utility, more utility than just a one-ounce coin itself.
	So be sure to check these out again, verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	And thank you for your support.
	Get ready, because we're headed into interesting times.
	Be safe.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
