Time Text
Welcome to today's episode on BrightTown.com.
I'm Mike Adams and as you know I'm a long time prepper and as we see events unfolding in our world today with a lot of chaos and now this bridge collapse in Baltimore, it's just a reminder that we need to be prepared at all times for unexpected events.
And our guest today is not just an expert in survival and preparedness.
He also has an incredible app that you'll learn about.
He's got a website called CollapseSurvivor.com and he also has a business venture called FortitudeRanch.com where people are able to become partial owners of properties on really sort of survival-oriented places.
Welcome, Dr.
Drew Miller.
It's great to have you on the show today.
I really look forward to this conversation.
It's the first time we've spoken, so welcome.
Thank you, Mike.
It's great to be talking with someone who knows prepping and the reasons why we need to prepare.
Yeah, isn't that true?
You know, out there, it seems like more and more there are examples of why we need to prepare, but I would say the oblivious masses, as I typically call the large group of people out there who don't know what's going on, they're still not preparing.
What's your overall assessment of the state of preparedness today in America?
We'll certainly improve.
When I launched Forth Ranch 10 years ago, people looked at me like I had a tin hat whenever I mentioned prepping, thanks to that stupid TV show, Doomsday Preppers.
But it's changed a lot.
A lot of people think it was COVID. I think it was less COVID than it was the violence, the protesting, the looting, Portland.
Things like that that happened.
People saw that, yeah, hey, it's pretty easy to have a lot of people start breaking the law and police are overwhelmed.
And it's really increasing now.
And this is a little bit surprising maybe for some of your audience, but it's increasing on the left, too.
There's a Civil War movie coming out next week.
And I'll ruin the plot here for you.
Basically, there's a third term president who's become a dictator.
Guess who they think that is?
And so California is now waging civil war against the United States government.
But the left is very much afraid of Trump being reelected and the country splitting up.
And as you pointed out on some of your prior shows, if Biden wins again, I think you're absolutely right.
I think Texas will succeed.
And I also think a lot of states will break up.
I think you're going to see California, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, where the urban big population centers dominated by liberals are going to split.
The rural counties are saying, I'm sick of your gun control rules that are unconstitutional.
I'm sick of your social policies.
I'm not paying your taxes.
We're out.
I don't care what the state constitution says.
We're splitting up.
Yeah, absolutely.
You raised some really good points there, Drew.
And in fact, I was just covering a story about State Farm Insurance is canceling 72,000 property policies in California alone.
And that's accelerating through this year.
And as you know, insurance companies are very good assessors of risk.
And so are the businesses that are leaving California.
Absolutely.
I wouldn't run a Home Depot in California if you gave me the store for free.
It's open season for looting.
And that's under normal consideration.
So this is really funny.
We had our Civil War scenario on our Collapse Survivor app a couple weeks ago.
And in our scenario, election violence builds up.
Eventually, it gets so bad towards the end of the election.
That some states are calling up the National Guard to back up police.
And while our scenario was playing, New York called up their National Guard to back up the police in New York City.
We already, before a collapse even starts, don't have enough police to control violence in some major big cities.
That's right.
So imagine when it really is a collapse, when there is a pandemic, the grid is down or something bad.
There will be no law and order.
You're on your own.
And preppers have understood that for a long time.
And more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that when I think I can say shit hits the fan on this show, I got beeped.
On Fox when I said that.
But when that happens, that's our standard terminology, as you know.
When that happens, you're on your own.
The police, I'm not criticizing the police.
There just aren't enough of them.
They will not be able to come to you.
And as you know, their number one priority in the collapse is protecting the elected officials.
Continuity of government is number one.
You're on your own when the disaster happens.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I do want to go through some possible scenarios with you.
Let me give out your website again, though, first, CollapseSurvivor.com.
And does that have links to your app there as well?
Absolutely.
Well, it's not a computer app.
You download it on your phone.
It's a phone app, Google and Android.
You play it there.
And the reason you do that is it's not just for simulations and for learning about preparedness.
We have the real threat alerts that prior, we only gave out threat alerts to our Fortitude Ranch members when we saw something like, We did one recently on the H5N1 mutations.
This virus is going to become human-to-human transmissible.
But now if you get this app, you will get the real threat warnings from Fortitude Ranch.
But you also get these weekly simulations I've been talking about, six-day military-style exercise simulations.
And I used to write those.
I'm a former Air Force intelligence officer.
And as you know, our military is very good because we do very realistic training.
And most of that is tabletop or command post exercises.
So we have real simulations that get you into a war situation and things happen.
You have to make decisions.
You have to react.
And that's how you learn.
You're basically practicing its future experience and waging a war or in this case, surviving a collapse.
So you're going to get messages during the simulations.
You know, every hour or so saying, you know, this disaster has happened.
What are you going to do?
There's a starving lady with a child outside your house begging for food.
What are you going to do?
You got, you know, five options.
And depending on those options, you know, you live or die with both your decisions and then your preparations.
You enter up front.
How many days of food do you have?
Do you have a reliable water supply?
All those kinds of things.
Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that.
Yeah, because the starving lady outside your door with a child is actually a trap trying to get you to exit your home so that a sniper can take you out from 300 yards or whatever.
It is in some cases, but there's randomness in this too.
So I don't want to, you know, for prepper places that you could die because, you know, you may get lucky.
You may not.
You may have a marauder group of 100 people coming at you.
There is some random.
So sometimes the lady actually is legitimate begging for food, but sometimes she's a diversion.
There's a marauder group on the other side coming at you while you're looking at her.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Well, let me throw this scenario at you here.
You kind of mentioned earlier post-election chaos.
Here's what seems to be shaping up in my mind, and I'd like to get your comments on this, but it looks like that a number of Republicans are going to continue to resign on purpose.
They're probably being paid off.
And they're resigning on a timetable to make sure that replacement elections cannot happen before the November election.
This is designed to give the Democrats in the House a majority by the time it comes around early next year to accept the electoral votes.
Trump wins.
Let's say for this scenario, Trump wins.
He gets the required number of electoral votes, but the Democrats in the House just flat out reject it and say they won't We're good to go.
Well, I think you could come up with 50 different scenarios like the one you invented.
It almost doesn't matter.
The country is divided.
I think the only way that we avoid a civil war, and the civil war is, as you know, it isn't really a great term.
I think you pointed out one of your episodes.
This isn't North versus South armies clashing.
This is basically, Texas can easily succeed.
Other states will as well, and people will say, well, the Constitution banned it.
No, the Constitution is silent on succession.
And if, you know, If California, I don't think, you know, if California state decides to go, they can go, and I don't think there'll be a war to keep them in.
But I think it's more likely you're going to see states breaking up, the counties that say, I've had it.
I'm no longer obeying your gun control laws, and I've been ignoring them.
My sheriff hasn't enforced them for years anyway.
That we're splitting up.
So I think no matter what happens after the election, that's going to happen.
And I see only one way to avoid a high...
It's not guaranteed, obviously, but I think a high chance of this can only be avoided if we pursue a plan that's called the Constitutional Alliance.
It's just been started up.
And what you have to do is you've got to get the national government back to obeying the Tenth Amendment, not doing social policy.
It's absolutely unconstitutional.
For states like Colorado, California, Nevada, where they're so split, the Democrats' urban vote control the statehouse, the rest of the state is largely conservative, rural, and they're split.
They also have to get out of social policy.
What you need to do is leave it up to local governments.
Bernie Sanders wants to do a commune in his area in Vermont and have publicly funded naked group hot tub hugs every night at taxpayer expense.
Let them do it.
Let them do that in their locality.
Let conservatives be conservatives.
Let people do what they want at the local level.
You could avoid the civil war.
The national government would focus as it should focus on a national security and homeland defense, nothing else.
You know, only if it's designated in the Constitution, the post office, we should have some some amendments like to authorize environmental regulation.
If there's pollution crossing state borders, that needs to be controlled.
But beyond that, the federal government needs to focus on things that could kill us.
And state government should largely do the same in infrastructure.
Then let people be diverse.
I mean, we're supposed to be a democracy.
We're supposed to have diversity.
Let's have it.
But we can only do that at the local level if you're not forcing social policy at the national level and then not forcing it at the state level where you don't have a state with uniformed beliefs.
Even where you are in Austin, yeah, you're in a pretty conservative state, but as you well know, Austin does not always agree with the rest of Texas.
Well, that's why I stay out of Austin, by the way.
Okay, I'm sorry, I thought you were in there.
No, no, no.
We're not in Austin.
We're not even in Travis County because Travis County has become a nightmare of wokeism.
I basically don't even set foot in Travis County.
Don't trust that whole operation there.
But it seems like right now the federal government is at war with states.
It's not just that it's not allowing the Tenth Amendment to be asserted by the states, but in the case of Texas, Texas is trying to protect the border, Governor Abbott, and the federal government is coming along and actually suing the DOJ, suing Texas to remove the barriers to entry in multiple lawsuits.
And our Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has been vigorously fighting against that.
Aren't we, in effect, in a de facto sort of almost a civil war or a state of war of the federal government against the states right now?
Well, we've got nullification going on.
So I said earlier that succession is not banned by the Constitution.
The Constitution doesn't talk about succession, nor does the Constitution talk about nullification.
But nullification exists.
Now, the liberals will tell you, oh, it doesn't exist.
Well, wait a minute.
Aren't you ignoring federal drug laws?
You've nullified them in effect.
And what about sanctuary cities?
They tend to be, you know, big liberal democratic cities and states.
They've been ignoring border policy for years, and Biden administration is apparently okay for that.
Texas is actually enforcing laws, not nullifying them, and they're opposed to that.
It makes absolutely no sense.
Well, yeah, exactly, but...
If Trump wins this election, like you saw this, when Trump was in office, the left was anti-government.
As soon as Biden got in, then the left said everybody must obey government.
When Trump wins again, if that happens, it looks like the most likely outcome at the moment.
I think they will go a thousand times more aggressive in attacking government.
I think terrorism.
In fact, I want to ask you about not just the left domestically, but all of the potential terrorists who have crossed the open border and who I believe have been positioned across the United States awaiting orders for domestic sabotage.
Do you also follow that?
Do you believe that's the case or what are your thoughts?
Well, I can't know it because I'm not part of their cells, but I think it's very likely, and you have actually, we don't reveal our future scenarios because we want you to be surprised when you play them, but you have exactly hit one of our upcoming simulations.
It is domestic terrorism.
And I'll talk a little bit about it.
I mean, Dr.
Phil, I don't know if you've been noticing that Dr.
Phil is back.
He's starting up Merritt Street Media.
And he was down at the border recently, and he's commenting, I think it was on the Joe Rogan show, he was commenting on how the huge increase in Chinese people coming over illegally.
And as he noticed, most of them kind of like of military age, it does look, and there is some concern in national security circles, that China has had a huge influx in a number of agents.
The FBI reported just, I believe it was December, There was a report that the FBI's warning that China has established the quote I heard was safe houses in every state.
So I do think, well, it's not a secret, the least surprise war in history will be when China invades Taiwan.
They've only been saying they're going to do it for, what, 70 years now or something like that, to check my math.
So they're going to do that, and they don't want the United States to intervene.
So yes, they could cause trouble here with domestic agents.
I'm going to reveal another one of our simulations.
They could get into a brief nuclear exchange with the United States to get us to back down from support from Taiwan.
So yes, I am absolutely concerned about it.
Iranian terrorists, Chinese agents, terrorists coming across the border.
And there's no doubt that these people are here and at the right time they can be used in manners that could cause massive disruption.
Absolutely.
And then we have nation-state actors, of course.
And it seems to me that the current leadership of the U.S., which I characterize as illegitimate, I believe they stole the 2020 election, no question about it.
They are trying to provoke what could be a nuclear war with Russia.
And as you come out of, you said I believe Air Force intelligence, do you think that there are orbital EMP weapons platforms that are currently in place by non-US state actors?
I suspect they're not in place.
I mean, there's anti-satellite systems up there, probably with conventional weapons.
We should have the ability to detect a nuclear weapon in space, and thus far I haven't seen any reliable reporting they're going to do it.
How fast could they deploy them?
Fairly quickly if they wanted to.
But I don't think they really need to.
If you want to, you know, you just had the grid down power up show on.
And thank you for doing that.
Everyone needs to watch that documentary down power up because it's when that happens.
And this is not my estimation.
This is not the movie made it up.
It was a documentary.
Congressionally funded study headed by a four star admiral headed their former head of the CIA.
They reported that when our grid gets taken down from an ENP attack, we could lose 90% of the population.
Well, that attack won't just take down our grid.
That will knock out the GPS satellites, all that as well.
So you don't really need to get nuclear weapons in space.
You can do it with an ICBM. And even North Korea's tiny, inaccurate Not very good ICBM nuclear force is plenty adequate to take down the electric grid.
And I'm not telling you something that's, you know, secret from my Air Force intelligence days.
I'm telling you from open sources published in newspapers.
North Korea's nuclear weapons were designed with the aid of the Soviet Union and Russia, and they were designed to be optimized for EMP effects.
As you know, you can get blasts, thermal radiation, many types of radiation from a nuclear weapon.
These are designed to produce primarily EMP to take down the electric grid.
And that's fantastic for North Korea because all they need is one ICBM, a couple detonations, one or two over the United States, anywhere up in the atmosphere, no accuracy needed.
And that's it.
Our grid is down.
And it's not for weeks and months.
It's down for a year or many years.
And when that happens, no economic activity, no law and order, most Americans will die.
Yeah, well, like you said, the EMP Commission predicted up to 90% of the U.S. population would die.
And, of course, I know some of our viewers are going to say, well, the Deagle Report also predicted that as well.
And many people believe that has ties to intelligence.
So there's a part of this that people...
I would say appears to be, you know, scripted.
Like the plans have been in place for a long time to destroy the United States of America because the U.S. is, you know, it has the Constitution, it has the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment in particular, which the globalists are very annoyed by that fact.
But, you know, I say thank God.
God bless America because without the Second Amendment we probably already would have been conquered.
And I'm so thankful that we have so many firearms owners and proficient people all across the country.
How much do you get into firearms training and proficiency for self-defense?
It's vital.
So every one of our members is encouraged to have a weapon deployed here.
Of course, we've got them.
You can see the AR-15 on the Collapse Survival logo up there.
We know not to use the word assault rifles.
AR does not stand for assault rifles.
They're used for defenses by us.
We don't use them for assault, for offensive operations.
But you need military-capable weapons in a collapse.
When a marauder group is out there, they will have these weapons, and there could be 10 of them.
There could be 50 or more of them coming at you.
So I love double-barrel shotguns, but I'm sorry, that's not enough.
I need an AR, and I don't just need an AR-15.
I need an AR-15 with that 30-capacity magazine that's illegal to purchase in Colorado.
So you need military-capable weapons to survive a collapse.
And our government should be telling us that.
They should be honest.
They should be telling us that H5N1 is mutating.
Look at your news in just the past couple weeks.
First case of H5N1 in goats in the United States.
It's in cattle now.
Just out in the last week in the Midwest.
H5N1 has been mutating.
It's 60% lethal to humans.
We already did famous gain-of-function research.
They did it on H5N1 over a decade ago.
Your taxpayer dollars were used, and they were successful in making what used to be bird flu, avian flu, H5N1. It's transmissible between ferrets in the air.
They did it deliberately.
The test worked.
Not only that, Mike, you're not going to believe this, but look it up.
It's true.
I'll send you information.
They published how they did it.
Open source.
Wow.
80% lethal, air-to-air transmissible in humans.
I don't even talk about it when I'm on podcasts.
You can look it up, but I'm not going to contribute to someone finding out how to do this.
I guarantee you that terrorist organizations, every country around the world certainly looked at their research.
Oh, yeah.
They're just handing blueprints over to people who want to cause mayhem.
Drew sent over the following...
A PDF, Collapse Survivor Sim Warn.
And we've got a series of slides to kind of take a look at here.
But this is the simulation that he's talking about, which is available through the app that they have.
And I'm not sure if the app is free or if there's a subscription.
I'll ask him when we get reconnected here.
You get sent challenges, like, oh, this thing is happening, and here's a little more about Dr.
Colonel Drew Miller's qualifications, what he's done.
And, oh, are you back?
I'm back.
Yeah, what happened?
I hope that was not on my end.
Well, we don't know, but somewhere along the way we got disconnected.
But I was starting to get into your slides there.
You want to walk us through, starting with slide one, the Collapse Survivor Sim Warnes?
Sure.
It's a new app that's just out.
It's 30 days free, then $10 a year.
You get, number one, the real threat of warnings that we put out from Fortitude Ranch, and we see something happen that could cause a collapse.
We give you a warning to let you know that it'll push through to your phone so you get extra hours or days of alert before you may hear about it from the emergency broadcasting system or the news.
Second, we have weekly simulations like the ones I've talked about, which gives you good experience in simulating what a collapse would be like, what you need to know.
There's some other features like putting in your stockpile of supplies and some really good prepper videos and educational materials for you.
But the main thing is it'll help you get the alerts that a collapse is coming.
You need to bug out or prepare or do whatever your plans are.
And then secondly, it helps you with simulations and training to improve your knowledge and education and proper skills.
Okay, so you said it's free for the first month and then $10 a year.
Is that right?
Yep.
Okay.
It's a very low-cost app.
That is a very low-cost.
The purpose is not to make a fortune.
It's just to help.
We felt guilty because it used to be we only gave these threat alerts to our members, and I thought, you know, if your goal is really to help the middle class to survive, you ought to give the alerts to everyone.
So that's what we're doing with this app.
Next question.
Can you make the APK file available for your app?
Because a lot of us are running de-Googled phones, which means that we don't use the Google Play Store.
So the only way to install your app is to get the APK file.
It's going to get done.
I'm making a notification.
Okay, awesome.
I'll alert you to that.
Yeah, if you'll alert me.
In fact, when we finish here today, let me give you my direct number where you can reach me on Signal.
And then when you get that APK file, I'll share that with people or anything else you have happening that's significant.
I'll help push that out.
But I would like to start using this app myself.
It sounds like a really great way to kind of check in.
So what is it like?
Once a week you get a simulated event?
We do them almost every week.
We take some time off to update, but like right now there's a simulation running.
If I press the button here...
Right now, you don't know what it is.
It's just scenario for it.
Well, actually, at this point, you do.
This is terrorist nuclear.
This is artificial intelligence being misused to develop new means of enriching uranium.
At the end of day one, there was a nuclear detonation in Times Square in New York City.
The next day, day two, Tuesday, today, when you woke up and got your first message, nuclear detonation simultaneously in Kansas City and Los Angeles.
It's because terrorists now happen.
And this is going to happen.
People think that, hey, how do you enrich uranium?
We use something we developed in the early 1940s.
Don't think so.
You can make advances in material science, and what happens is you'll find out later.
Sorry, I'm cheating.
I'm giving away something you'll find out later in the week through the simulation.
Basically, what happened, though, is artificial intelligence was used to develop a better means of enriching uranium, not the huge centrifuges, which are pretty easy for us to detect.
Right.
So they developed it.
Iran did it.
They helped terrorists like they always do.
They're our number one enemy.
And so terrorists have just destroyed three downtowns in the U.S. You don't know how many more are coming at this point in the app.
And so any time any disaster strikes, what do you think is going to go?
So people have evacuated now big city downtown.
So what do you think is probably going to happen in these big city downtowns?
I'll tell you, looters are going to come in.
Yeah, absolutely.
Anarchy.
And that's what's happening.
So this message is telling you right here, there's looters going on in these big cities, and eventually it spreads.
So again, it's a simulation.
It's a military-style exercise simulation, puts you in a difficult situation, and you've got to make decisions, decide what you're going to do to try to keep yourself and your family alive.
So that's what the event does.
I take it that your experience, you have a phenomenal list of qualifications.
Your resume is really extraordinary.
But your experience with the Air Force and intelligence agencies and wherever you've worked, I assume you're applying that to create a realistic type of simulation for the everyday person.
But this isn't just some out of the blue stuff.
You have extensive experience that feeds into your ability to construct these simulations.
Well, our whole staff does.
So Larry, I won't give his last name, you know, he's an intelligence official as well.
Steve, who's with us as well, former Army intel.
So we have a lot of intelligence officers on the staff who contributes information.
And our goal is hyper-realistic scenarios.
If you're looking for the walking dead, walking zombie stuff, probably not going to happen.
So we want these things to all be very plausible scenarios.
Things that we think are going to happen at some point, depending on how long we can survive before one of these things knock us out.
But this is an artificial intelligence case, and if you got the time, I think that people...
Greatly misunderstand the threat of artificial intelligence.
They're thinking about it wrong.
The AI threat is what you're seeing here this week as an example of it.
Can I talk about that or am I going off topic?
No, absolutely.
Go for it.
I'm working on an AI project right now, so this should be a fun conversation.
You know, intelligence officer, we're trained to be very careful and critical in our thinking.
There's a company called J-Mark.
I work with them.
They train intelligence analysts.
And you have to be super disciplined, careful, methodical in how you analyze and do assessment.
Because otherwise, if you just use what's up here and what you think, you're going to make a lot of inherent errors.
And the big error we make in artificial intelligence is Every time you talk about it, people think of 2001, the Terminator, Battlestar Galactica.
So we think the AI threat is that computers get super smart, they get bad.
There was a Star Trek episode on that back in the 1960s.
They use robots and drones, and they do all these horrible things.
That is not the big AI threat.
The big AI threat is today from bad people using AI to kill people.
So Right now, in this scenario, they've used it to develop better, faster, easier means to enrich uranium to make nuclear weapons.
But another scenario that's going to be coming out, and this is not made up, this is stuff that biologists are warning about, you're going to use bioengineering DNA engineering to make a more deadly virus to wipe out most of humanity.
That's a scenario coming.
That's the threat of AI. It's bad people misusing it out.
What is AI being used for right now?
It's being used to design drugs.
Well, don't you think some terrorists or Al-Qaeda or North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, the list goes on, or even a biologist who thinks that there's too many humans and the only way to stop global warming and save the Earth is to kill off most of the people.
Someone is going to use AI and CRISPR technology, bioengineering.
They're going to design a more effective virus.
They're going to release it and billions...
Some from the virus, probably more from starvation and the collapse that results.
Well, you're absolutely correct.
AI is very good at generating.
You know, it's called chat GPT generative pre-trained transformers, I believe is what that stands for.
But it generates solutions, including morphological solutions that can be used by CRISPR technology to alter the genetic sequence and build bioweapons.
And then even to simulate how that new morphology, the protein receptors, would interact with human biology.
So you're absolutely right on that.
I just want to add that AI, the thing that AI is best at today actually is writing code.
And if you go on the GitHub, there's a tool there called Copilot.
And GitHub, I believe, is owned by Microsoft.
And so Microsoft has this Copilot tech.
Copilot writes code extremely well.
If you are able to describe a project to it, it can write code.
While Microsoft has what are called guardrails, if you tell it to write the Stuxnet virus code that was used against Iran, and you probably know that Stuxnet was a very big project involving U.S. and Israeli intelligence, and it might have been hundreds of millions of dollars to put in that.
You could do that today with the language models in about one day with one person.
That's how much it has advanced.
So if you get an uncensored model and you ask it, hey, write the code that can penetrate this control system of a water treatment plant or a nuclear cooling system or a petroleum refinery, the code can be written today by AI if it's uncensored. the code can be written today by AI if it's That exists also.
You're exactly right.
So, you know, cyber, you could design a better cyber attack to take down the electric grid than people could do on their own.
And again, that's going to happen.
And that's not future, you know, three years from now, robots and AI has this capability.
This is capability today to take down the grid, to design a new virus, enrich uranium better, design.
You were talking about domestic terrorists earlier.
Why don't you use AI to develop a far more effective poison?
So instead of having to dump a truckload of chemicals into the New York City water system, one gallon of new Poison X that I've just developed with AI, dump that in there and it's Fatal dose for everyone in New York City.
All these things.
And then AI is going to invent new means of killing us we can't even think of today.
That's true.
So again, I'm not afraid of the bad computers and bad robots.
I'm afraid of the bad people using the computers and AI to have new ways to kill us.
I think it's almost inevitable that I don't see how you stop AI at this point, nor do you stop CRISPR technology.
I think it's too late.
So I think we have to be preparing for it.
And I'd like our government to be honest with us, for Christ's sake, and tell people, this is a threat from AI, we're not going to be able to stop it.
H5N1 is mutating in mammal populations.
It's called a mixing vessel.
It makes it more effective for H5N1 to adapt to become human-human transmissible when it's not just spreading in birds, it's spreading in your domestic cats.
You're not making that up?
No.
They've reported this, the World Health Organization reported this last year.
Domestic cats all over Poland have H5N1. Indoor domestic cats.
They're not outside getting H5N1 from a dead bird.
They're inside.
And they've got H5N1. So it's going to eventually mutate naturally to virus 60% lethal, it'll kill humans, or someone's going to help it along.
And I was very suspicious about why Poland with domestic cats, but who's next door to Poland?
Well, Russia is, Belarusia.
And so I thought, you know, is Russia mad at Poland?
They sure as hell are.
When we blew up the North Stream pipeline that was based out of Poland, Poland's helping Ukraine, So when I saw that, we actually put out an alert saying that, you know, we're speculating, but we're really concerned about this, not just because of continued H5N1 mutations towards the inevitable human-to-human transmissible version, but this looked to us like this is something Russia could be involved in.
Because if Russia wants to release H5N1 over here and kill us off, they don't want to be blamed for it.
So they want a good cover.
And what's a better cover than, oh, it's just a natural mutation that's been happening, goes happening in cats.
They're just releasing it over here.
They covered the tracks with COVID in the same way.
Oh, it escaped from, you know, a food market in China that just happened to be really close to the Wuhan lab.
I mean, come on.
But yeah, bioweapons and also agricultural weapons.
Don't forget about that.
So, you know, the U.S. has been involved in a lot of that research over the years, which, you know, we always claim it's for defensive purposes.
Not really, but Russia's been involved in that research.
China, as well as a lot of bioweapons research that can target agriculture.
Cattle ranches.
There can be pests and other threats against the hogs and the chickens and the cows, and it can really destroy a national food supply without being able to trace the origin.
But I want to finish up the thought on AI and ask you Well, the large language model that we're building, which is at brighttown.ai, the first knowledge base that we're building into it is herbs and nutrition and growing food and so on.
The second knowledge base is prepping and survival information.
So we will have, I believe, the only language model in the world that you can download and use locally that actually can function as a prepping mentor.
It will answer your questions about prepping and survival and preparedness.
I'm wondering if there's a way that you and I could collaborate with, maybe you have access to additional content that we could use to help train the model.
Is that something you might be open to?
Yeah, I'd be interested.
The other thing is, you know, maybe there's some way where they can access your database via the Collapse Survivor app.
That might be another opportunity to explore.
Oh, yeah.
Well...
We're looking at ways to be able to run this language model on mobile devices.
That's under investigation right now.
It looks like it's going to be possible to run a smaller version, fewer parameters, that will run on mobile devices with pretty decent inference speed.
We should keep in touch about that and see if that's possible, and maybe we could have a custom model that's trained on a lot of your content that even could be trained on, for example, your scenario text.
As reference material.
People like you and I, who want to see society function and succeed, and we don't want to see people die, we can use AI for good purposes as well.
Great.
If I could cover two other things before we lose our time here.
One is I just want to give an overview of Servo Community.
We're a prepper community.
We're not a timeshare.
There's no owning of land or anything like that.
You can lease land at some of our locations if you want to be there full-time.
But we're kind of like a country club membership model.
You pay an upfront free to join.
You can vacation for up to a couple weeks a year.
No, you're talking about Fortitude Ranch.
Yes, Fortitude Ranch.
Okay, let me show my website while you're talking.
Okay, sure.
And then when a collapse occurs, what happens is you come here and you're not going to vacation.
You're here to survive.
And so there's staff like me in uniform, former military folks in charge.
And we've already got the animals and the chickens and the gardens and the seeds and the food storage and all that.
But we immediately clear our lines of fire.
We've got defensive positions and guard posts.
And so we will have no trouble with marauders.
They're not going to attack us.
They're going to go after the easy targets.
All of our members have weapons, so we're armed.
But we're a survival community that can keep you alive.
We are not fancy.
If you want fancy, luxurious, luxury conditions, you want to join Survival Condo.
They're the gold standard for, you know, survival communities.
That's like being in an underground five-star hotel.
Gorgeous facility.
But it's super expensive.
I mean, it's millions of dollars to join Survival Condo.
We're affordable for the middle class.
And we even have Spartan shared space rooms that are very low caste.
Because I don't want to see a collapse come and the people who survive are the super rich, are the politicians who are sheltered at Mount Weather and Raven Rock and taken care of by the government.
And our baraters, just them surviving.
I want to see middle class good Americans survive.
And that's the purpose of Fortitude Ranch.
The last one I wanted to make is, you know, the biggest barrier to prepping is our government.
So it's not just that they're negligent in warning us about threats, protecting us from threats.
They are the biggest pain in the rear end we've got, running Fortitude Ranch, trying to operate a survival community.
You know, we talked earlier about they want to ban military weapons that we need to defend ourselves.
They ban wood stoves.
I mean, you put out a great article or paper on, you know, your seven principles of resilient prepping.
And so you talk about you need low-tech things.
You do.
And so, yeah, it's good to have solar power.
We've got it.
But the most important energy source is a wood stove.
I can heat and I can cook with that.
Well, you're not allowed to have wood stoves in a lot of big liberal-controlled cities and even some states.
They're banning them.
You can't put them in.
And a pellet stove, I'm sorry, without electricity and pellets, no good.
You're going to die, freeze to death without that.
The government has been, you know, I can't easily get people antibiotics.
I stockpile fish antibiotics because of all the regulatory crap.
The zoning, the building codes, if you've got a rural place and you want to put up a lot of buildings and a survival community out there, good luck, because big city zoning is being forced by liberal, democratically controlled state houses into rural areas where, no, I can't have two buildings.
You get one building.
Wait a minute, I've got over 40 acres and no neighbor.
Why can't I have more buildings?
Because of our zoning laws.
Mm-hmm.
We know best what's for you.
So the biggest problem with, oh, by the way, they're even passing laws to regulate small little backyard farmers.
Make that more difficult.
That's right.
It's like our government is trying to kill us.
I'm serious.
They don't give you warnings.
They make it hard for you to prepare and survive on your own.
And they're passing more and more laws to outlaw wood stoves.
Outlaw assault weapons, or not assault weapons, military-capable weapons, AR-15s that you need to defend yourselves, the large-capacity magazines.
Everything in their power, it seems, to kill us off.
In contrast, though, the continuity of government operations have, you know, Underground cities, bunkers, storage tunnels, 10 years of food, all kinds of weapons, emergency backup comms, you name it.
But the same people, like maybe senators or State Department officials who are going to go into those bunkers, they tell you, the public, oh, you're fine.
You only need a three-day supply of food.
And you don't need a gun.
You don't need a rifle.
You're going to be fine.
Just trust us while they're getting ready to go 15 stories underground.
Yeah, it's just, it's irresponsibly criminal.
It really is what's going on.
So, in Mount Weather, they don't just have survivalists.
They actually have media rooms.
I am not making this up.
You can research it and find it.
They have media rooms there because not only do they want to keep the congressman and their family alive, they want them to be able to keep in touch with media in their district because, you know, they still got a re-election campaign to get ready for it.
They've got fantastic facilities, food security, and media rooms so they can keep in touch with their constituents.
Because when I'm surviving, that's my number one priority.
It's not food.
I want to be able to hear from my congressman and hear about what he's doing for me in Mount Weather while I'm trying to stay alive, fending off marauders.
Yeah, well, there's going to be a whole lot of redistricting after the next collapse because the population ratios will shift dramatically.
I would not want to be anywhere near a blue city when things hit the fan.
That's for sure.
You don't want to.
I'll give you a clue.
If you're playing our app and you're in a big city, as soon as you can and you've got an option and you'll get one to bug out, bug out if you want to survive.
Trying to survive in a big city in a collapse will be a nightmare.
Even if you've got a lot of food and water, you won't be able to keep it when marauders come around.
Yeah, absolutely.
By the way, I want to thank you for putting everything on that wall behind you.
It makes it very easy for me as the person interviewing you.
You've got your collapsed survivor.
You've got Fortitude Ranch, disaster preparedness, the app, everything.
It's great.
It's an all-in-one visual.
Well, we do podcasts from here, too.
So after every week when the scenario finishes on Saturday night, we do a podcast where we talk about the threat, what happened, and then mainly we talk about lessons learned.
What did you learn from this simulation?
How can you improve your preparedness?
What is a good survival skill or two you got from the simulation?
So that's why I got the backdrop is for our podcast after we do the Collapse Survivor app simulations every week.
Yeah.
Now, earlier on, you mentioned that even many people on the left are becoming more and more interested in preparedness.
I'm seeing that trend as well.
And I'm even seeing, you might say, members of the LGBT groups, gay Americans who are arming up and becoming like pro Second Amendment gay people, which, look, I welcome everybody to the Second Amendment.
It doesn't you know, I don't I don't care what people do in their private lives.
But I've also seen a lot of videos where these leftists.
They really suck at using firearms.
I don't know if that's truism, but I saw a guy with, I believe it was an AK-47, trying to hit a paper target at 25 feet.
Couldn't hit it with a rifle, much less a handgun.
What kind of disparity in the skill set do you think exists out there?
I really have no idea, but I can tell you that, you know, for our members, we definitely do training.
But the more important thing is when you're defending yourself and we've got defensive walls, it's a much easier task.
Because I can tell you, yeah, I'm in the military, but I was Air Force.
I dodged missiles and mortars in Iraq and never actually got to shoot a weapon.
But even folks, you know, we've got a lot of Army, Marine guys who have been in combat, but they'll all tell you, you're going to be scared shitless in a firefight, and you're going to be shaking, but the advantage is, you know, we defend, our weapons are resting on a wall.
Yeah.
So, and, you know, we've got shotguns, we're generally shooting at fairly short range, so we've got a fairly easy task that pretty much any one of our members can handle.
If you're attacking, it's a whole different ballgame.
You don't have a thing to weaponize.
You're not resting your weapon.
It's much more difficult to do offensive than defensive operations.
So if you're defending yourself, you don't need the weapon skills of a SEAL or even, you know, normal army infantrymen.
So it's a much easier task to defend yourself.
And again, these ARs that we have, these are not for us to go out, you know, They're attacking people.
They're for self-defense, and we have every right.
Even if you didn't have the Second Amendment, I have a natural right to survive.
I have a natural right to use my property.
I have a natural right to survive, and that's above the Constitution in priority.
The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution says quite clearly that I have natural rights, and even if it's not spelled out in the Constitution, they're still there.
They can't be denied.
People ignore the Ninth Amendment as much as they do the Ten.
And I have a right to survive, and I need that capability in weaponry to defend myself, and Americans aren't going to give that up.
Absolutely.
If the left does win, and that's something that actually happened in our Civil War simulation.
There was a lot of violence in the campaign, but in our simulation of Civil War violence...
The Democratic Party passed a resolution saying their top priority will be to ban military-capable weapons.
And people came unglued about it.
And I can tell you, I'm not talking about just Fort Worth Ranch.
I'm going to talk about millions of Americans.
They will not give up their weapons.
They will not give them up because that's life or death in a collapsed situation.
And collapses are coming.
It's inevitable when you talk about pandemics.
It is going to happen in our electric grid.
Any day now, North Korea, Iran, even the terrorists, the cyber attack augmented with AI could take it down, and it's game over for most people when that happens.
Well, absolutely.
Those who are not prepared are, they are really, I guess they have a death wish or they're just not even aware of what they're doing.
This is the time for preparedness.
And do you prefer to be called Dr.
Miller or Colonel Miller?
What do you prefer?
Anything or Drew.
It doesn't matter.
Or Drew.
You, man.
I was a cadet at the Air Force Council.
You can say you, man, and I'll respond to that.
Alright, well I'll call you Colonel Miller here then to wrap this up.
But I want to, first of all, I'm really intrigued by what you offer.
I would like to experience your app myself and help promote the material that you're putting out there.
I think simulated exercises can be very valuable for people.
And so if you'll hang out after the interview, I'll make sure that my staff here get you my contact information.
But I just want to thank you for what you're doing.
I think it's really intriguing.
I wouldn't mind to, well, I should say, on a more positive note, I would love to visit your Fortitude Ranch in Texas and just check it out and maybe shoot some video there and share that with the audience.
Would that be something we could do?
That'd be fantastic.
I'm glad to have you.
And thank you for your service and informing people, because the CDC is not being honest about H5N1. Our government wants everyone to think, oh, it's okay, nothing to worry about, we'll take care of you.
And that's absolutely not the case, and we need more people like you getting that message out, because most people haven't heard it.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, well, so the websites, folks, let me just wrap this up.
The website is...
What's the main site again?
Collapsedsurvivor.com?
Collapsedsurvivor.com and fortituderanch.com.
Okay, and fortituderanch.com.
Got it.
All right.
Well, Colonel Miller, I want to thank you for taking the time today.
This has been a really great first interview.
I have a feeling we'll do more, and I really look forward to keeping in touch with you after the show.
Thank you.
I hope I can come down and see your studio and your famous dog.
Oh, you are welcome to.
Yeah, he's hanging out right there right now, but I'm not going to disturb him because he's in sleep mode, and that's where we want him at the moment.
But yeah, you're welcome to come on in the studio and we'll give you a little tour and you can join me right here in person.
That'd be super.
Thank you.
All right.
All right.
Thank you.
Yep.
Well, have a great afternoon.
And for those of you watching, thank you for watching.
Thank you for supporting our platform, brighteon.com.
And we are working to help you stay prepared for all the things that are coming.
You can see the acceleration and its guests like Colonel Miller here today.
That I think have invaluable information that can help you navigate the chaos and stay alive almost no matter what happens.
So feel free to repost this interview on other platforms and channels.
And thank you for joining us today.
God bless you all.
God bless America.
And God bless Texas.
We have the Texas flag here in the studio now.
Can you guys show that?
Yeah.
We're going to get more light on it soon.
But anyway, we've got the flag up.
Thank you for watching.
Take care, everybody.
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 in 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 goldback, you say, hey, how would you like one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold for that loaf of bread in this format, goldbacks, 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 is 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 could 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 51 thousandths of an ounce.
So they've done a great job with this, the Goldback 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.
