	Alright, welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Thursday, April 4th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	We've got some exciting stuff to share with you.
	It's going to be a whirlwind of a show here because I hosted the Alex Jones show yesterday.
	I did two hours, did some fascinating segments, at least that's what the audience told me.
	I interviewed former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.
	We're going to play that interview for you here today, but also...
	Because I promised you we're going to bring you the new interview with Gerald Salenti, so we're going to run two interviews back-to-back, which means I'm not going to spend a ton of time covering other stuff, because these interviews are really where all the breaking news is found today.
	But I also want to give you the chance to see the segments from the Alex Jones Show, if you missed them, because my dog, Rhodey, he did destroy an inflatable moon.
	We pulled that off, and he almost ripped the arms off of a stuffed astronaut on my desk.
	It's funny because I have these props.
	I have the astronaut and the inflatable moons in order to interview Bart Sabrell.
	About NASA and the moon landings and astronauts and all that stuff.
	So I actually bought props for BART. And it turned out, since we're talking about the solar eclipse and everything, I got to use the props early, except Rhodey destroyed one of the props.
	So I guess we're going to need another inflatable moon.
	So here's what we're going to do.
	Let me give you a table of contents here today.
	Oh, and before that, gold is $2,300 an ounce now.
	It is just skyrocketing.
	So, the rise of gold, again, it doesn't even mean gold is really going up.
	It means the dollar is collapsing and gold is holding value.
	But here we are, gold 2300.
	And Gerald Salenti, he talks about gold in this interview coming up today that you won't want to miss.
	So anyway, we're going to share with you a special report I recorded earlier called, The World Has Turned Against Israel.
	And this is because of the serial murder of those food aid workers that were hunted down by an IDF drone with missiles that went through the roofs of the vehicles.
	Even though the vehicles were marked on the roof that we are...
	What's it called?
	The WC Kitchen?
	World Central Kitchen?
	You could see it from above.
	And yet they were hunted down and murdered by Israel, by the IDF. And this is so outrageous.
	This has really turned the world against Israel now.
	So we're going to play that special report.
	Then we're going to continue with the interview with Larry Johnson that I filmed live on the Alex Jones show.
	After that, we're going to bring you the Gerald Salenti interview.
	That I recorded a couple of days ago.
	And then finally following that, I'm going to bring you our two from the Alex Jones show where you get to see Rhodey eat the moon, the inflatable moon.
	He destroyed it.
	And well, he sort of destroyed it off camera, but you can see a little bit of him.
	Maybe we could recreate it with him taking a big bite out of the moon.
	But it's true.
	One of the producers on the Alex Jones show said today during the break, he said, Hey, Mike, you're the only person who ever actually mooned his dog on a live broadcast and got away with it.
	I guess that's true, but that's not really what he meant.
	In any case, it's going to be an exciting show.
	All right.
	Now, before we get to that, I always say that.
	Sorry, never follow my own outline.
	But there's a really important interview with Dr.
	Geert van den Bosch.
	I think that's how you pronounce his name.
	And this has been making the rounds.
	You've probably seen this interview, or at least some of the transcript of this interview.
	Now, James Howard Koontzler.
	I think he's the author of The Long Emergency, right?
	That's what he's really well known for, I believe.
	Yeah.
	Living in the Long Emergency and so on.
	He's a great writer, by the way.
	Well, he also does podcasts, apparently.
	He's done 398 of them.
	I had no idea, but I'm really enthused to find out that he's been doing all these podcasts.
	Well, he interviewed Dr.
	Geert Vanden Bosch.
	And Bosch has been predicting that there would be a collapse of immune function.
	And he's given a new warning that is quite severe.
	And I want to read for you the transcript from the interview just a little bit.
	He says, the truth will surface.
	This has been a large scale experiment of gain of function on the very human population.
	This will be something that will be reported in history for many, many generations to come.
	And then he says, you will see what will happen.
	For example, in the next coming weeks is more and more cases of more serious long COVID.
	they will start to replace the surge of the cancers.
	Now we have a more chronic phase.
	It will end with a hyper-acute phase.
	A huge, huge wave.
	I've been studying this now for four years.
	I know what I'm talking about.
	I'm probably the only person in all modesty who understands the immunology behind this, he says.
	The thing I want your audience to understand, what we will be facing in the hyper-acute COVID crisis that is imminent, is that we will have to build a completely new world.
	Wow, that's a pretty big statement, right?
	He goes on.
	It is very, very clear that when this starts, our hospitals will collapse, and that means the chaos in all kinds of layers of society, financial, economic, social, you name it, will be complete.
	And that is what I'm very clearly predicting.
	It's very strange for me to make such statements, but I'm not hiding it because I'm 200% convinced that it will happen.
	Anyway, he goes on in the interview, but he is warning about this hyper-acute COVID crisis.
	And he says, well, I'm sorry, Künstler says that it's going to intersect with the 2024 elections.
	Which means that by the time Election Day rolls around in November, assuming if this prediction is correct, there could be millions of people dead in America who would otherwise vote.
	No wonder Democrats are rapidly creating fictitious voter records to make up for all the dead Democrats that took the jabs, right?
	So that's something to keep your eyes open about.
	And this is while the corporate media is attacking the whole concept of turbo cancer.
	They're saying, oh, turbo cancer, it's a made-up conspiracy theory among anti-vaxxers.
	There's no evidence to support turbo cancer.
	Yeah, except all the dead people from cancer who took the jabs.
	Aside from that, there's no evidence.
	Yeah.
	If you don't look at all the tombstones and graveyards and death records, then yeah, there's no evidence.
	So I was just thinking, wouldn't it be wild?
	I'm not predicting this, but it's just I'm just thinking that God's wrath.
	I mean, I know that God's wrath is going to be unleashed upon our world.
	What if God's wrath, which historically, especially Old Testament, God's wrath included things like pestilence and plagues and gay frogs falling out of the sky, like the death of all the crops and animals and earthquakes and giant fissures opening up in the ground and people disappearing into the crevices, right?
	What if God's wrath against the demonic Democrats has already been achieved by Democrats having a nearly 95% vaccine uptake rate that set into motion a series of cause-effect actions that will lead to what Bosch is calling the hyper-acute COVID vaccine syndrome, or whatever he called it exactly.
	What if that's God's wrath against people who rejected God by injecting themselves with transhumanism, i.e.
	satanic molecules, you could say?
	And that what if this is God's way of saving America?
	That by the time Election Day rolls around, there's so many dead Democrats, and some of them won't even be able to vote.
	Again, just a what-if type of scenario.
	I don't know if that's going to happen.
	I certainly don't wish for any deaths of anybody, not even Democrats, although they wish for the death of conservatives and Christians.
	But I don't wish for death upon anybody.
	However, I do acknowledge cause and effect.
	And I do know that the people who chose to repeatedly inject themselves with venom peptides and transhumanism, mRNA, gene therapy, alterations, I know that those people are in real trouble.
	And I would not be surprised if Bosch is correct.
	I would not be surprised if we start seeing...
	Hordes of jab takers dropping dead in the months ahead.
	I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
	Now, I learned today, by the way, and who told me this?
	Oh, yeah, it was Larry Johnson that told me this.
	You know, this World Central Kitchen organization whose seven workers were bombed to death by Israel in this heinous act of premeditated assassinations against food aid workers.
	Well, this organization, World Central Kitchen, was created by a man named Jose Andres.
	And again, I believe it was Larry Johnson that told me that Jose Andres is a super, super left-wing liberal.
	He's a huge fan of Joe Biden and can't stand Trump.
	And, of course, Joe Biden has been sort of present in the White House as all these weapons have been given to Israel by the Democrats, essentially, you know, the Democrat administration.
	And then Israel used those weapons to slaughter the volunteers of the very program that Jose Andres founded, World Central Kitchen.
	So he's described as a celebrity chef.
	I've never heard of the guy.
	Then again, I don't watch TV, so there's probably all kinds of people I've never heard of.
	But apparently he's a celebrity chef.
	Well, this is also a lesson in cause and effect.
	If you support Democrats, you've got to understand Democrats are a death cult.
	Don't be surprised when that death comes around and bites you in the ass or bites your aid organization in the ass in this case.
	And I'm not mocking Andres.
	I think that the guy has a big heart to try to stop starvation in Gaza.
	I mean, even though he's a Trump-hating Democrat, at least he's trying to do something useful for the world, right?
	So I actually...
	I applaud his efforts.
	At least he's doing something with his celebrity status other than just, you know, hawking brand name fashion purses or whatever on social media, right?
	So, Jose Andres, let me say, dude, I think you're doing something good for the world.
	Like I say, he's doing something.
	He's feeding people.
	Well, he has come out today.
	And he has told Reuters that the Israeli assault on his volunteers was systematically car by car targeting his volunteers.
	He said that World Central Kitchen, WCK, maintained transparent communication with the Israeli military Adding that the military was informed about the movement of his workers.
	He says, quote, this was not a bad luck situation where, oops, we dropped the bomb in the wrong place.
	He says, even if we were not in coordination with the Israeli army, no democratic country and no military can be targeting civilians and humanitarians.
	Oh, yes, they can, Jose.
	The Democrat party that you support is happy to provide the bombs that killed Israel.
	Your aid workers, I'm sorry to say.
	It breaks my heart to say that.
	But this is what happens when you support Democrats.
	Democrats are a death cult.
	Now, There are also plenty of rhino Republicans who are fully supporting of this death cult as well.
	So it's not only Democrats, right?
	It's basically the neocons.
	It's the pro-war rhinos and it's the pro-war Democrats.
	And it's people on both sides that support Israel no matter what, even when Israel is carrying out genocide.
	But this is what happens when you support those who are complicit in genocidal mass murder.
	Don't be surprised when your own people...
	Get murdered in cold blood by the very organization that the people that you support also support.
	Don't be surprised.
	That's all I'm saying.
	Be careful what you endorse.
	That's a word of wisdom for us all.
	Be careful of what you endorse.
	And by the way, I've said over the last couple of days, three days ago, I said that Israel is America's most dangerous enemy.
	Not ally, but enemy.
	And I gave reasons for that because Israel is trying to drag America into World War III with nuclear Iran and also Russia.
	And then...
	Yesterday, I said, the world must stop Israel, or we will all die in a nuclear holocaust.
	And I meant that, too.
	That Israel is completely out of control under the current leadership.
	That it's rejecting...
	All international treaties or authority or even a sense of morality, anything.
	And the world has to stop Israel.
	I don't know what that looks like.
	I don't know how that happens.
	But somehow Israel's got to be stopped or they will walk us off the plank here into this, you know, plunging into the pit of thermonuclear war, which could kill literally billions of people.
	Today I'm noticing...
	Across various alternative media, including, for example, MiddleEastI.net, I'm now seeing more and more mentions of the question of, does Israel have a right to exist?
	I had not seen that question asked before.
	But given that Israel is completely rejecting humanitarian principles...
	They're rejecting diplomatic principles.
	I mean, they're bombing consulate buildings, you know, in Damascus, for example.
	And given that Israel is rejecting all pleas, even from Anthony Blinken and others, there are more and more people out there who are asking the question, why is Palestine not recognized by the UN, but Israel is?
	And should that be flipped?
	I'm noticing that the debate is starting to shift.
	I mean, wouldn't it be wild if the UN said, well, we reverse our 1948 decision or 1947, and we've decided to yank the charter from Israel, and now we're going to have a reverse Nakba.
	And then all the Palestinians are given UN permission to go take the homes of Israelis.
	And then kick the Israelis out to the Sinai Desert again, just like in history.
	Sounds like an alternate universe, right?
	I don't think that's going to happen.
	And what I'm just saying is that Israel, under the current leadership, it's demonstrating such intense evil, just a sinister disregard for fundamental human life that people are starting to talk in these terms now about whether Israel just a sinister disregard for fundamental human life that people are starting to talk in these terms now about whether Israel even Fascinating.
	Fascinating.
	I mean, I guess – If you kill enough civilians, and you bomb enough women and children, and you launch missiles at enough food aid workers, you know, the world's going to hate you.
	So, Israel has the world's worst PR problem right now.
	And when Netanyahu films a video apologizing for slaughtering food aid workers, and he's smirking and laughing and chuckling all the way through while he's apologizing, you know, it doesn't look good.
	Netanyahu.
	In fact, the guy smirks so much, his name should be Smirkenyahu, pretty sure.
	Benjamin Smirkenyahu.
	It still sounds quite fitting for him.
	All right, so now I'm going to play a report for you that I recorded earlier about how the world has turned against Israel.
	This report is about 20 minutes.
	And we're at close to the 20-minute mark right now, roughly.
	So if you want to skip this report and jump to the interview with Larry Johnson, then just jump to about minute 40 of today's Bright Town Broadcast News, okay?
	All right, enjoy the special report.
	We'll be back on the other side with Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst, an interview that I recorded while I was hosting The Alex Jones Show.
	Well, it appears the world has finally turned against Israel, even the Western world, and what it took was Israel's hunting down and triple-tap airstrikes against aid workers.
	These are Western aid workers, mostly a U.S. citizen, an Australian citizen, a U.K. citizen, and so on.
	So seven aid workers, part of the organization called WC Kitchen, World Central Kitchen, Which had vehicles that were specifically marked as aid vehicles in order to identify them to the IDF. And they were traveling in Gaza along a route that was pre-approved with the IDF. The IDF knew exactly where these vehicles were, what they were, that they were part of this food aid organization.
	And yet the IDF hunted them down, tracked them with drones, fired three missiles directly impacting the three vehicles, killing the aid workers.
	This is mass murder right in broad daylight.
	No excuses.
	And then Israel claims, well, it was an accident.
	No, it wasn't.
	It was three missile strikes on three vehicles.
	They were precision strikes.
	They went through the front windshield of these vehicles, and now the world has said, this is too much.
	Every newspaper in the UK now, front page story, is blasting Israel for this slaughter.
	And in the U.S., The newspapers, especially the left wing media, are now calling out Israel for this wicked act.
	Now, what's extraordinary to me, though, is that Israel has already killed almost 35,000 civilians in Gaza.
	Somehow, that wasn't evil enough for the Western press, you know?
	It was like, oh no, these seven aid workers, these are the lives that count the most, you know?
	There's a weird kind of racism in the response here, by the way.
	It's like, you know, all these brown people that died, that didn't matter at all, but my goodness, you killed seven white people.
	Now it's bad.
	Now it's evil.
	I say it's been evil the whole time.
	Israel is evil.
	Israel is increasingly being described as a rogue nation, even by former Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and by Gerald Salenti, who I just interviewed, said that Israel is engaged in genocide.
	And I'm going to add to this and say that Israel is a terrorist nation, and the world must stop Israel.
	And this mission of stopping Israel needs to be pursued with the same level of dedication and urgency as stopping the Japanese Imperial Empire in World War II or stopping the Third Reich in World War II. The world must come together and stop Israel.
	And if that means doing it with military force, so be it.
	It's actually clear that that's the only way Israel's going to be stopped, because Israel, under Netanyahu and his far-right Likud party psychopathic lunatics, they have already declared they're not going to listen to the world.
	They're not going to listen to the International Court of Justice, they won't listen to the UN, they won't listen to the ICC, they won't listen to America.
	Even as they depend on America to provide them, you know, more bombs and more missiles, more warplanes, and more money, they thumb their noses at America, like, give us all your money and then F off.
	That's Israel's attitude.
	And it's interesting because America is uniquely positioned to stop Israel by simply halting the shipment of weapons and money.
	It's that simple.
	America could stop this.
	But, of course, you know, America is owned by Israel, because among American politicians, it's Israel first, America last.
	You know, that's true across both Democrats and Republicans.
	So if America won't stop shipping weapons to Israel, and if Israel won't stop the mass slaughter of innocent people, how do you stop them?
	How will the world stop Israel?
	And the likely answer, whether you like it or not, whether I like it or not, and I'm not endorsing this.
	Let me be clear.
	I'm telling you what is cause and effect.
	The way Israel is going to be stopped, ultimately, is that Israel is going to be destroyed.
	The Middle Eastern nations, and perhaps others, they will launch missile strikes against Israel at some point.
	They will invade Israel.
	They will Obliterate Israel.
	Israel will be overrun and destroyed in its present form if it doesn't back off of this line of pursuit.
	In other words, Netanyahu is on a suicide mission for the entire nation of Israel.
	It's not just that Netanyahu is going to destroy himself politically, and it's not just that he's getting tens of thousands of Palestinians killed and thousands of IDF soldiers killed He's going to have Israel destroyed because he has put Israel in a situation in the context of the world that is intolerable by the rest of the world.
	Even the UK can't handle this any longer.
	And it looks like the UK is going to halt all weapons shipments to Israel.
	Other nations will join in.
	Eventually, perhaps, There will be so much pressure on the U.S. that the U.S. will have to halt weapons shipments to Israel.
	I'm not sure what kind of sort of domestic pressure that will take.
	Probably a lot of protests among, you know, maybe Muslim people.
	Maybe a lot of peace activists will increase their protests in America.
	Maybe that will have an impact.
	I'm not sure.
	But at some point, if Israel doesn't change its course, It will be destroyed.
	There will be no Israel in the Middle East.
	Now, in that process, Israel will very likely end up launching nuclear weapons against its enemies.
	And in retaliation, nations like Iran and perhaps Russia will retaliate with nuclear weapons against Israel and against the United States Navy as well.
	We're looking at an escalation ladder leading us to nuclear war in the Middle East.
	Because Netanyahu is a psychopath, a murderous psychopath.
	Zionism is a philosophy of Jewish supremacy that values no lives other than their own.
	And the US is so weak-willed that US politicians and members of Congress aren't willing to stand up against Israel and say, hey, stop the genocide.
	So you've got this sickening, horrifying combination of Of corruption and supremacy and ethnic hatred and genocide all colliding together to create this current situation which is Israel in 2024 that is flat out the most evil nation on the planet at this point in time.
	What Israel is doing is more evil than any other nation in 2024 on the face of this earth.
	And if you don't stop Israel, you end up in a nuclear war.
	And if you end up in a nuclear war, it's hard to see how that doesn't escalate into something like, we all die, you know?
	Not good.
	And to those still supporting Israel, especially in the alternative conservative media, still covering up for Israel, you're on the wrong side of history.
	You're in genocide denialism.
	And you're going to regret not calling out Israel sooner.
	And by the way, across alternative media, in the early days of COVID 2020, I know there was a lot of disagreement and debate about whether COVID was real, whether it was all staged or whether it was a very serious concern.
	There's a lot of debate about the origins of it.
	Did it come from a lab?
	Did it not come from a lab?
	There was a lot of confusion, especially in the early days.
	Now, in my mind, there was never any confusion about the dangers of the vaccine.
	I knew that from day one.
	But, hey, in the early days of 2020, I was very concerned about the virus and the pandemic.
	And I didn't know then what I know now about the fraud of virology, by the way.
	And so my platform and other platforms often disagreed about what was happening.
	There was a lot of confusion.
	It took a while to sort that out.
	There is no confusion about what Israel is doing.
	No confusion whatsoever.
	Israel is killing civilians.
	Israel is slaughtering women and children.
	70% of the casualties in Gaza are women and children.
	Israel is launching missiles at food aid workers.
	There is no debate.
	And you can't sit there and say, well, that's all self-defense.
	That's not self-defense.
	They are bombing hospitals, refugee camps, apartment buildings, residential areas, universities.
	They are sniping, using snipers to murder doctors and health care workers and hospitals.
	They are hunting down and doing a triple tap missile strike on food aid workers.
	And at the same time, Israel has, by the way, has murdered dozens of ambulance drivers in Gaza also because they target ambulances.
	Yes, they target food aid workers.
	Yes, they target ambulances.
	Yes, they target hospitals and they target doctors because Israel wants to maximize the mass death of Palestinians.
	They're doing it all on purpose.
	This is genocide.
	And anybody out there who's still in denial about this, again, you're on the wrong side of history.
	It's disgusting that you would be in such denialism at this moment in history.
	And there is no excuse.
	For your position on this.
	There's no debate.
	There's no mystery.
	There's no unknown like there was with COVID. This is all fully known.
	What Israel's doing.
	Israel even apologized for killing these aid workers.
	Which is an admission that they did it.
	And they apologized while smirking.
	They're like, oh, we apologize.
	You know, so evil.
	They're laughing and smiling.
	Little demonic serpents.
	Laughing it up while they kill Palestinians.
	That's how evil Israel has become.
	And to those who claim, oh, you can't criticize Israel, that's anti-Semitism.
	Ah, we're not buying your bull crap.
	Ah, you can throw labels around all day long, it doesn't mean anything anymore.
	The label anti-Semitism has lost all meaning.
	It means nothing.
	Because Israel is anti-humanism.
	Israel is slaughtering innocent human beings.
	And Israel has become, as I said, a terrorist nation and the most evil nation on planet Earth at this moment in history.
	Now, I don't wish for the demise of Israel.
	I don't wish for harm to come for the Israeli people.
	Although, some of the videos I've seen of some of these people, they are extreme racists.
	Who almost all support total genocide, by the way.
	The Israeli civilian population is filled with sort of Nazi-minded people.
	Who absolutely want to carry out a Holocaust against Gaza.
	It's shocking how racist and genocidal the Israeli people are.
	But even with that said, I don't wish any harm upon the Israeli people.
	And I don't wish any harm upon Jewish people in particular all over the world.
	Because of course there are more Jews that live outside of Israel than there are Jews in Israel.
	And by the way, a lot of these Jews that live outside Israel agree with me and are sick and tired of how evil Israel has become.
	And they are adamant that this genocide should not be carried out in their name.
	And I fully support peaceful protests by Jews against Israel.
	But with all that said, my fear...
	Is that Israel is turned into a giant smoking crater of radioactive dust.
	That's where I fear this is going.
	And it wouldn't just be Israel, because Israel would also have launched nuclear weapons at other countries.
	We're talking about the potential deaths of millions of people across the Middle East, perhaps in Iran, in Syria.
	More in Gaza, more in the West Bank, and most Israelis turn into radioactive dust.
	That's the scenario that we're talking about.
	We should pray to God that that doesn't happen.
	But if Netanyahu and his lunatic far-right-wing Likud party people, if they're not stopped, that's exactly where this is headed.
	They can transform the Middle East, as it exists today, into a giant radioactive death zone.
	Where you won't be able to live for 300 years because of the half-lives of cesium-137.
	You won't be able to grow food.
	You won't be able to have cows or goats in pasture.
	You won't be able to live there for three centuries.
	And for those Christian Zionists who are saying, well, you know, we have to start World War III so that we can invoke the return of Christ.
	It's like, what are you, some kind of satanic suicide cult?
	God doesn't want you to start wars to bring back Jesus.
	I don't know who came up with that.
	It's completely insane.
	People are completely misreading the teachings of the Bible.
	If you think that starting World War III is a way to have your savior return, no.
	Starting World War III is a way to create hell on earth.
	That's what you're pushing.
	And we will all suffer if that's the outcome that succeeds.
	Rumors are that right now Iran is preparing some kind of retaliation against the strike on the Iranian consulate from a few days back.
	That was, of course, an outrageous illegal act by Israel, yet another one, in violation of Geneva Conventions, in violation of the recognition of diplomatic sovereignty in embassies and consulate properties all over the world.
	Israel abides by no rules whatsoever.
	It does whatever the hell it wants.
	It murders, it assassinates anybody it wants at any time for any reason.
	And this is escalatory.
	This is going to generate probably a pretty radical response from Iran at some point.
	I don't know what that's going to look like.
	It's probably what Israel wants, because Israel wants to start nuking Iran, and Israel wants to drag America into this conflict.
	But Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel is coming, whatever it looks like.
	It's probably going to be measured.
	It's going to be designed to be just under the threshold of Generating a nuclear retaliation from Israel, but it will still be a substantial attack against Israel and perhaps, most likely, against Israeli embassies in other nations.
	It could also include attacks against U.S. embassies.
	So for all those United States Marines that are positioned in embassies or consulate properties all across the Middle East, in Iraq, in Syria, in Jordan, wherever...
	Guess what?
	You're probably going to die because the US would not stop Israel's genocide.
	So you're probably going to die because Iran is going to strike US embassies, almost certainly.
	So get prepared, folks, in every way you can.
	I've covered all the basic preparedness items a thousand times.
	Nothing has changed.
	It's still the same.
	Make sure you're ready for rising oil prices.
	Make sure you're ready for a collapsing dollar.
	Make sure you've got backup assets, gold, silver, maybe some crypto, real things, real property, maybe some land.
	Make sure you've got extra food supplies.
	You know the whole deal.
	Make sure you've got iodine and emergency first aid supplies as well.
	Because the day is coming that World War III is in your face.
	The day is coming that the mushroom clouds are visible on the horizon.
	And on that day, guess what?
	It's too late.
	Too late to order up what you need.
	So get it now while you can.
	You will find many supplies at our store, of course, healthrangerstore.com.
	We appreciate your support.
	We're helping you get prepared with backup food supplies, certified organic, non-GMO, laboratory tested for glyphosate and heavy metals and aflatoxins and E. coli and a lot of other things.
	So you keep supporting us and we'll keep working for you in every way that we can.
	And we're going to pray for your safety.
	We're going to pray for world peace.
	Actually, I know it sounds like a cliche.
	It's like, what are you trying out for the Miss America contest?
	Pray for world peace.
	No.
	Hey, how about we just pray that we all don't die in a giant mushroom cloud?
	How about that?
	That doesn't sound like a cliche anymore.
	Let's just pray we all don't freaking die.
	I mean, not right away.
	Ha!
	I mean, we're all going to die, but let's all not die together, is my point.
	Let's die at different times, you know, from old age or whatever.
	So, join me in that.
	Thank you for your support.
	I'm Mike Adams here at The Health Ranger, naturalnews.com, and brighteon.com.
	All right, continuing with today's episode of Brighteon Broadcast News.
	And remember that we are building the infrastructure of human freedom.
	And we're just one day away now from launching the nonprofit Consumer Wellness Center, Data Science Division, AI, Large Language Model through brighteon.ai.
	So the launch happens tomorrow.
	I don't know exactly what time, but we are wrapping up one more epoch of training of one of the models, if not two, we're going to be launching two different models really close together.
	Might be another one launched early next week.
	But that's happening tomorrow, the first one, at Brighteon.ai, so be sure to sign up for that.
	All right, now we're going to go into the interview that I recorded with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson during the segment where I had him as a guest on the Alex Jones show as I was hosting the show.
	I hosted it from my Brighteon studio, so got to...
	Got to show the big Texas flag on the wall and everything.
	Got to have Rhodey there in the studio.
	It was all fun.
	So Larry Johnson is from sonar21.com.
	That's his website.
	Great site, great articles and analysis.
	So enjoy this interview.
	I think it is around 45 minutes or something in that range.
	And then we'll be back on the other side with the interview with Gerald Salenti from Trends Journal.
	Yeah.
	Stay with us.
	Enjoy this interview.
	All right, welcome back.
	This is the third hour of the Alex Jones Show.
	Mike Adams filling in today.
	Thank you for joining us.
	And we're going to be joined now by our special guest for this hour, who I think has just outstanding analysis of geopolitical events.
	It's former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.
	His website is sonar21.com, which is definitely worth a read.
	Welcome, Mr.
	Johnson, to the show today.
	Hey, Mike.
	Good to be back with you.
	Well, it's good to have you on today.
	It's all good.
	Yeah, you're framed quite nicely.
	Thank you for joining us again.
	And I've really come to admire your analysis.
	I've seen you on many other shows like Judge Napolitano and so on.
	That's why I invited you on here today.
	Appreciate you taking the time.
	Let's start with the obvious one here.
	I mentioned in the last segment that it looks like Because of Israel's bombing of these food aid workers, that much of the Western world has now turned against Israel as of maybe today.
	Do you think I'm overblowing that assessment, or does that ring of truth to you?
	What's your assessment?
	Yeah, no, let me put some context on this.
	So, the World Central Kitchen workers, WCK, that was set up by Jose Andres.
	I know Jose, we're not friends, but We were members of the same golf club and played in tournaments together up in Potomac, Maryland.
	And he is a diehard anti-Trumper.
	And boy, he loves himself some Joe Biden.
	So let's put him in the context right there.
	He's a big Biden supporter, and he was doing this basically to, I think, try to shore up Biden's political issues.
	Fading political base because there are so many Muslim Americans, Arab Americans very angry at Biden over his support for Israel.
	And so here's, you know, Jose puts these guys out there to serve meals.
	And the food's pretty good.
	Well, they were in full coordination with the Israelis.
	And...
	Let's be candid.
	The only reason the world gives a damn about this right now is that they were white guys.
	They were Europeans.
	They were Americans.
	If they were Palestinians or Arabs, who cares?
	They're not real human beings.
	But these are real human beings because they look like us.
	It's that sickening and disgusting.
	Let's put this into context.
	These people were deliberately targeted.
	This was not an accident.
	An accident is like, you know, I'm reaching for my coffee cup.
	I hit it, falls on the ground.
	That's an accident.
	When I pick it up and I keep knocking it off two more times, that's not an accident.
	That's a deliberate act.
	What the Israelis did, they hit the first vehicle.
	And then the two other vehicles stopped, picked up the wounded.
	They continued to flee.
	They had pre-coordinated this route with the Israeli military.
	That's the thing to understand.
	And yet another 800 meters down the road, boom!
	The second car gets hit.
	And understand, these cars are carrying the WCK markings on the roof.
	Now, it was at night, but the pilots are flying with night vision.
	Goggles.
	They can see this.
	And they knew where these vehicles came from.
	And then the third vehicle tries to gather up some of the wounded and trying to flee.
	It gets another kilometer down the road, and it gets hit a third time.
	Now, the Israelis are coming and saying, oh, this is terrible.
	We didn't mean to do this.
	Bullshit.
	They absolutely meant to do it.
	Because this isn't the first time they've done it.
	They've been doing this starting on October 7th, when in response to the Hamas attack, Israel ordered its pilots to shoot up every car that was fleeing the scene of that rave out in the desert.
	And that's how they killed, that's how the Israelis killed most of their own people.
	Because they didn't know who was in those cars.
	So, Larry, if I could ask, though, from what you're describing, I think your assessment sounds accurate to me.
	Doesn't this take away the number one excuse or defense of the Israeli defenders who say, well, Israel has a right of self-defense.
	That's why they bombed the hospitals.
	Well, Hamas might have been there.
	That's why they bombed the refugee camps.
	That's why they bombed whatever.
	But if you're doing missile strikes targeting three food aid vehicles, you can't say that's self-defense.
	No, hell, absolutely not.
	Look, I'm a pistol instructor.
	I've got credentials that I can teach and train instructors, certify people as new instructors.
	So what you teach with self-defense is if your life is at risk, if you don't act and you run the risk that you could lose your life or somebody else could lose their life, then under those circumstances, yeah, you can react.
	That wasn't this.
	These people weren't carrying weapons, number one.
	Let's recall that this is, you know, let's ignore what happened on October 7th with what Israel did, killing its own civilians.
	Yeah.
	Let's go back to the three Israeli hostages that were taken by Hamas.
	Three guys who had all served in the Israeli military.
	They got away.
	They escaped from Hamas.
	They were in no man's land.
	They were getting ready.
	They wanted to surrender themselves to Israeli troops.
	But they knew what a bunch of murdering thugs these guys are.
	They took their shirts off.
	One of them was waving a white shirt.
	They were bare-chested.
	And the Israelis still shot them.
	Larry, the image that's being shown on screen right now, I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is really important.
	The image shows that this is a food aid vehicle.
	It's easily visible from the sky, from a drone.
	They can see this is a food aid vehicle, and yet the missile went right through the roof.
	So these are precision strikes on vehicles that are clearly marked and clearly pre-worked out with the IDF that we are food aid vehicles.
	It's impossible.
	Larry, when...
	Netanyahu apologizes for this.
	Do you think he's sincere?
	No, absolutely not.
	Absolutely not.
	Because the point is, this is not the first time.
	They've been doing this all along.
	The Israelis have killed more correspondents with news agencies than died in all of World War II. Think about that.
	And that's in six months.
	That's in six months.
	And remember, there were these two elderly women that were Palestinian Christians.
	Most people make the mistake to assume that all Palestinians are Muslim.
	They are not.
	And so these two women, Palestinians who sought refuge at one of the Orthodox churches there in Gaza, A 60-plus-year-old woman taking her 80-plus-year-old mother, trying to walk her to the bathroom.
	An Israeli sniper gunned him down.
	These old ladies weren't carrying weapons.
	So what I'm saying is, this is a pattern.
	This is not an aberration.
	This is a pattern.
	And in fact, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting today based upon IDF sources.
	I call them the Israeli occupation forces.
	But those sources are saying, even though they're supposed to get orders from the top, the commanders in Gaza, they do whatever the hell they want.
	Yeah.
	Whatever the hell they want.
	So one of the big questions I have for you, and I really appreciate your analysis, I think you've been spot on in so many ways, is what's it going to take for the U.S. and Antony Blinken in particular, who's just increasingly looking like such a pathetic, sad, ineffective figure, what's it going to take to do more than talk?
	What's it going to take for the U.S. to say, stop shipping bombs, stop sending money, stop selling F-15s or F-35s?
	Is that point ever reachable?
	Yeah, loss of money and loss of political support.
	So if all these people who are supporting the Biden campaign suddenly cut off the money, say, hey, no more until you stop this.
	But that's not going to happen.
	The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, AIPAC, has got both Republicans and Democrats, by and large, sewn up.
	They're in their pocket.
	They're not going to do anything that's going to back away from Israel.
	But the events on the ground may force it.
	Israel is intent on getting a war going with Hezbollah.
	I know that there are some analysts who I respect, a guy named Steve Bryan, I think the world of Steve.
	He thinks Israel's trying to avoid it.
	But I listen to what their own defense minister said and their own general said.
	They're going to invade southern Lebanon.
	They're going to push Hezbollah north of the Latani River.
	I take them at face value.
	Yeah, I would say they're going to try to push Hezbollah, right?
	I mean, Hezbollah is no small force to deal with.
	And as I understand it, Hezbollah has been stockpiling weapons for many years.
	They have elaborate tunnel systems, just like under Gaza, that go under the Lebanon-Israel border.
	Well, let me ask you if you agree with this.
	I think Israel, just in attacking Gaza, already a bit off more than they can chew.
	I think they're taking more casualties.
	They're losing more armored vehicles.
	They're finding out that IDF forces are not as strong as they thought.
	And the resistance of Hamas in Gaza is more effective than they anticipated.
	Would you agree with that or not?
	No, I would.
	Let's compare and contrast.
	The Israeli army is attacking an area that's about the size of Washington, D.C. Okay?
	Think about that, because Washington, D.C. is not, you know, it's not a big area.
	It's basically got six mile, it's a square, six mile square, and then they took off the bottom third of the square and gave it back to Virginia some years ago.
	But still, that's the size of territory we're talking about.
	And with all of their troops mobilized, They haven't been able to defeat Hamas.
	Compare that with what the Russians are doing along an 800-mile front with multiple cities, multiple entrenched positions, and the Russians are steadily advancing.
	So it puts into perspective what's going on.
	And then Israel's killing civilians.
	They're not fighting.
	They are fighting a guerrilla war, but they can't kill their way out of this.
	They think they can't.
	And that's what they're coming to discover, that they lose more through attrition and through these ambushes that Hamas, and not just Hamas, but Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Pidge, you know, they're going to continue to go after the Israelis.
	And notice what Israel just said the other day.
	They told these people, say, hey, that are in Rafa, you need to flee back north.
	Well, wait a second.
	For the last five months, the Israelis have been telling them to go south.
	Now they're telling them to go north, etc.
	They've basically destroyed all the habitable space that is up north.
	So this is...
	Well, that's the absurdity in this.
	I'm sorry to interrupt, but I heard Netanyahu say, oh, it's no big deal.
	They can pick up their tents and move.
	Well, wait a minute.
	You've destroyed the water infrastructure, the medical infrastructure, the power infrastructure, the sewage infrastructure.
	What do you mean you can just pick up and move?
	I mean, Netanyahu has lost touch with reality.
	Yeah, he's just trying to save his own political career.
	That's all.
	And, you know, the critical thing that these people need is, one, they need clean water.
	Two, they need to have some sort of secure toilet facility.
	Because otherwise, people are distributing human waste all over the place.
	It's just a recipe for massive disease.
	And then a plague that will wipe them out, which is, candidly, that's what Israel's banking on.
	They want as many of these Palestinians to die as possible.
	They don't care.
	Women, children, elderly, men, they don't care.
	Kill them all.
	Larry, I would also add, I agree with what you're saying, but I would also add that the engineered famine causes immune suppression, which makes the population more vulnerable to the sewage, you know, like E. coli and other factors that you were just talking about.
	Public health is collapsing there.
	Yeah, absolutely right.
	Yes.
	And then to attack food aid workers, doesn't that send a message to all other aid workers that you're going to be murdered by Israel if you help the Palestinians at all?
	Yeah, we'll see.
	And look what happened in the wake of killing the Jose Andres aid workers.
	They cut off, they turned their ships around, they stopped distributing food.
	Another organization, don't recall the name of it, Just today announced as well they were serving like 15,000 meals a day.
	They've suspended aid service.
	That's Israel.
	That's why Israel killed these people.
	Kill them.
	Make everybody else afraid so the aid workers stay out.
	Now, Larry, and I want to remind our viewers to visit your website, sonar21.com.
	It's spelled just like it sounds.
	And we skipped a break already this segment to maximize time with you, Larry.
	And again, I thank you for taking the time.
	Let's shift to the Israeli bombing of the consulate building in Damascus.
	Right.
	Because now we're talking about an escalation ladder situation that could be quite dire.
	Do you have any information in the last, what has it been, 72 hours or whatever it's been, 48 hours.
	48 hours.
	Okay, thank you.
	Iranian retaliation, is there any posturing?
	Is there any hints of what Iran might be attempting to do in retaliation?
	Let's first say that the reason Israel did this was to try to provoke a massive retaliation by Iran That would then justify or create a foundation for bringing the United States into the war against Iran.
	That's what Israel's trying to get the United States in on the ground fighting with Israel because they know, as you pointed out earlier, they can't defeat Hezbollah by themselves.
	And frankly, I don't think they can defeat Hezbollah with the United States.
	You know, look at how effective the United States has been against the Houthis.
	After five months of, you know, firing missiles and bombs.
	You know, so, you know, we need to wake up in America and stop believing this nonsense that we've got the greatest military in the world and we can stop anybody.
	We can't.
	Back to the question of, is Iran more likely to retaliate in an emotionally charged way, or are they more likely to be very meticulous and planning to have a measured response, in your view?
	Yeah.
	No, I think it's going to be measured.
	Look, this is the first, let's call it outrage, that Iran has faced, where they would have ample reason to retaliate.
	They faced...
	Terrorist attack, some bombings within the last six months inside Iran.
	They killed hundreds.
	That was funded by the West.
	I am almost certain of that.
	They have faced the assassinations of other generals going back to Soleimani by the West.
	And then going back to 14 years, the U.S. and Israel together were involved with assassination plots inside Iran, killing nuclear scientists.
	So throughout all of that, Iran has not mounted some massive counterterrorism offensive.
	I think what they're going to do is they will do some pretty precise attacks in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, where the Israelis are involved there primarily for oil.
	They'll kill them.
	They'll probably attack some more of the U.S. bases.
	That are in Syria and Iraq.
	At this juncture, I don't see them escalating to hitting Israel directly.
	Even though they have that ability...
	What about Israeli...
	Good point.
	But I was going to ask about Israeli diplomatic properties in other areas.
	Could Iran strike an Israeli embassy or a U.S. embassy?
	I don't think they will.
	Because we saw, if you watched any of the UN Security Council debate the other day, you got to see a role reversal.
	In 1979, when Iran had taken, under the Ayatollah, students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, took U.S. diplomats hostage and held that facility for more than a year.
	U.S. was outraged at that.
	This was a violation of the Geneva Convention.
	All right, so let's jump ahead now, 44 years.
	It is now 2024.
	What happens?
	Israel hits a consulate and kills diplomatic members of Iran as well as some military personnel.
	All of a sudden, the United States is okay with that.
	And Iran is outraged as an attack on its diplomatic facility.
	So we've had a complete role reversal.
	And I think that I don't see Iran responding in kind.
	I think that they're going to take the moral high ground on this, that, you know, we're going to hit legitimate military targets.
	We're going to go after legitimate military interests of both Israel and the United States.
	We're not going to hit diplomatic facilities.
	I anticipate that's what we're going to do.
	condemnation of Iran.
	If they did that, they would lower themselves to what Israel has become.
	Now, this has a lot of parallels to the attack on the Crocus Theater in Moscow, right?
	Right.
	So, another provocation.
	I'd like to hear your analysis of what Moscow is doing, what Putin will be doing in terms of retaliation against that terrorist attack.
	I'm going to say, and you can agree or disagree, but I'm going to call Israel's government now a terrorist state.
	Yeah.
	It's clearly a rogue state.
	I think it's a terrorist state at this point.
	But what are your comments on the parallels between what Israel is doing and what clearly the West did with the terror attack on the Crocus Theater in Moscow?
	Well, just today, there's one interesting parallel.
	The United States has told Israel, expect an attack by a response by the Iranians in 48 hours.
	We've heard that before, right?
	Yeah, I've heard that 48-hour thing again.
	Oh yeah, that was the warning issued on March 7th by the U.S. Embassy.
	I'm beginning to think that there are people in the Biden administration that are big Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte fans.
	You know, 48 Hours.
	Remember that movie?
	I do remember that movie.
	What happened at the Crocus Theater, it's fascinating because the United States is using that terrorist attack As a way to try to attack the credibility of Vladimir Putin and to promote, let's call, ethnic strife in Russia.
	The warning that came out on March 7th stipulated 48 hours.
	And you've got to understand, when you get that kind of intelligence, I've had access to that intelligence for 35 years, nothing in the last five years.
	But before that, I saw, worked with that intelligence on a daily basis.
	I've never seen a piece of intelligence, whether we're talking a human report or we're talking an intercepted communication like an email or a phone conversation, where we could go out and issue a report definitively saying from the moment this report is issued for the next 48 hours, the threat is high.
	You don't do that.
	Because how do you know if after that 48 hours that the threat has dissipated?
	Oh, okay.
	It's not like, you know, they don't have the lifespan of like a 17-year locust, you know, crawls out of the ground, chirps, mates, dies, you know, goes away in a certain time frame.
	That's not how these terrorist threats are.
	And so I almost believe now that That that was a bogus warning that the United States issued on March 7th.
	It was a setup to be able to say that Putin didn't listen to us.
	Yeah, when the real terrorist attack took place.
	Because I was there when the U.S. government made the policy decision to start warning about terrorist attacks.
	I was there at the creation of that policy.
	It was 1989.
	Larry, I'm sorry to interrupt.
	We've got to go to break.
	Stay with us, Larry.
	Apologies.
	We'll be right back here on the Alex Jones Show.
	Stay with us.
	More with Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst, straight ahead.
	Stay with us.
	Alright, welcome back.
	Mike Adams here joining you from the Brighton Studios in Central Texas.
	Also, I hope you like our new decoration.
	We've got the Texas flag all lit up here.
	I'm honored today to continue hosting here on the Alex Jones Show with our very special guest, Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst from the website sonar21.com.
	And Larry, thank you for your time today.
	Your analysis is really important.
	And in this segment, I want to ask you about What are the repercussions if our Western leaders do not listen to the advice and analysis of people like you?
	Because as a CIA analyst, your career, you were trained.
	I mean, you were a master of providing analysis, like fact-driven analysis, to decision makers to keep us out of nuclear war and to protect our national interests.
	And yet our leaders right now are just throwing everything to the wind and they have no plan, it seems.
	What are the repercussions if we don't turn this around?
	Well, this wouldn't be the first time that presidents and their advisors don't listen to what the analysts are saying.
	I saw that firsthand with respect to the whole Contra war in Central America, where the White House just didn't want to hear what we had to say because what was happening wasn't what they wanted to happen.
	They wanted a different outcome.
	What we see right now is a very dangerous situation that the Biden administration has pushed us closer to nuclear war, to wars that we cannot win than at any time in our history.
	And it's extremely dangerous.
	But it's not just the Biden administration.
	You know, you can't identify for me a single prominent politician that if they stood up today and said, look, We need to stop the funding for Ukraine.
	We need to open talks with Russia.
	And we need to get back at the negotiating table with Russia.
	We need to treat Russia as an equal.
	Ah, Biden's calling them names, thugs, you know, dictatorship.
	Right.
	Anybody that tries to propose that is going to get shouted down as a sellout, as a puppet of Putin, as somebody who's in the pocket of the Russians.
	So we don't even have the foundation for a reasonable discussion.
	A little bit of that is opening up with respect to Israel.
	It used to be No criticism of Israel was allowed at all.
	But now you've got a significant sector of the Democrat Party, principally, that are Muslim-American, Arab-American, that are pushing back against Biden.
	On the Republican side...
	Go ahead.
	I'm sorry.
	America in the post-World War II era, America coming out of World War II was the dominant power, the dominant military power, the dominant economic power, and then throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the dominant currency power of the world.
	And so America took on an aura of being able to bully the world.
	Like, do what we say or else.
	You'll be sanctioned, or you'll be bombed, or you'll be killed.
	I mean, look at what they did to Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein and others.
	But guess what?
	That story has come to an end.
	The U.S. is not militarily more capable than Russia's military.
	Russia's economy, many would argue that Russia's economy per capita is far stronger than America's economy.
	Russia's industrial output is extraordinary.
	It's had a revolution, frankly, since 2022.
	And Russia's cities are cleaner and safer than America's cities.
	You know, America's cities are looking like crap holes, kind of semi-quoting Trump there.
	It's not Haiti.
	You know, it's San Francisco.
	It's Chicago.
	It's New York City.
	While Moscow and other, St.
	Petersburg, look great!
	You know, I mean, it's so obvious.
	America can no longer be the bully, but they're still playing the bully, is my point.
	Well, if you go back and look at our history, and this is, you know, American people need to have some historical knowledge.
	During the Eisenhower administration, Eisenhower conducted 158 covert actions that were involved, directed at what we call regime change, interfering in the affairs of other countries.
	That included the overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz, elected president in Guatemala.
	That included the overthrow of Mossadegh, the elected prime minister, in Iran.
	And we've continued to live with the consequences of those actions.
	During the Kennedy administration, remember Eisenhower was in office for eight years, and the less than three years that Kennedy was in office, he mounted at 163 covert actions.
	So the United States has a record of this.
	In 1964, guess who we helped install and control of Iraq?
	Oh, that would be the Ba'athist Party, and one of the young guys that was involved with that group happened to be named Saddam Hussein.
	So we've had this history of, we'll set up people like Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noriega, and then when we get tired of them, we don't want to use them anymore, then we find a way to go after and destroy them.
	We have been the one country, more so than any other country in the world, That's been involved with subversion and terrorism in other countries.
	It's not Russia.
	It's not China.
	It's not Iran.
	It's not Libya.
	It's been us.
	And we need to look in the mirror and recognize, because like any recovering drug addict or alcoholic, the road to recovery starts with an acknowledgement of, man, I've got a problem and I need help.
	Words of wisdom, Larry, but that means then the United States empire needs to recognize that we are transitioning into a multipolar world where the U.S. cannot weaponize the money supply for much longer.
	You know, BRICS nations are launching their own settlement currencies over the next couple of years.
	The U.S. military, as I said before, is very much technologically outgunned.
	I would argue, and by the way, I love America.
	I'm an American.
	I love America.
	I love our Constitution.
	I'm a Texan.
	I love Texas.
	So don't anybody accuse me of being a Russian spokesperson.
	But I would argue, from just a factual perspective, that right now Russia's military is the most...
	Accomplished and capable land-based military force in the world right now.
	Is that honest?
	Is that accurate?
	Absolutely.
	They're built to defend Russia.
	That's what they're for.
	We're in the position, would you take advice on health, nutrition, and exercise from someone who is 5 foot 4 inches tall and weighed 300 pounds?
	No.
	Stop bringing up Victoria Nuland, please.
	I've had enough of her on the show.
	Come on.
	The point of that is, set an example.
	It would be one thing if we ran clean elections in this country.
	Well, we don't.
	to lecture other countries on how to run elections?
	Hell, there are a lot of third world countries out there that run cleaner, more honest elections than we do.
	How about the other day when the Biden administration is attacking?
	Think of this.
	They're attacking the government of Modi in India because they've arrested the opposition political candidate.
	How dare they?
	And it's like, dude, look in the mirror.
	Look in the mirror.
	What are you doing to Donald Trump and his supporters?
	And the rest of the world is picking up on that, and they're sick of it.
	They're fed up to here with the hypocrisy of the West, where we're trying to tell everybody else how to live their lives.
	Let's clean up our own act at home.
	Let's get our cities in shape.
	The other day when people were all fixated on the bridge that collapsed in Baltimore, yeah, a terrible thing, but nobody's paid attention to the fact that every high school in Baltimore city limits, predominantly African American high schools, 2-3% of the kids read at grade level.
	That means 97% of the kids can't do math or reading at a high school level.
	And we're letting that go on.
	I mean, that's how you destroy the foundation of your country.
	Yeah, that's exactly what's happening.
	Now, you mentioned Trump in your explanation there, so I'd like to ask your assessment.
	How would a Trump presidency be any different in your view in handling these international crises situations?
	I mean, Trump is still pro-Israel, and Trump is not going to, obviously, give any pass to Putin and Russia.
	So what would be different in your view?
	Well, Trump has always demonstrated the ability and the willingness to go talk.
	The problem he faces is when he tries to do that, then he's immediately accused of being under the control of the Russians in the case if he tries to broker a deal with Russia.
	And Russia's been very clear all along what they want.
	Don't bring NATO any closer to our border.
	Do not bring Ukraine in as NATO. That's what we want.
	That's a good negotiating position.
	The U.S. has refused to entertain that.
	Instead, we keep pushing NATO to the borders of Russia and not even understanding how we would react if Russia created a military alliance that was going to align with Mexico and Canada right on our borders.
	We wouldn't put up with it for a minute.
	Do you think Trump is capable of negotiating peace with Russia that would stop the slaughter of the Ukrainian men?
	Yeah, I do.
	I think he has learned something since his first term that a lot of people that he thought he could trust, he can't trust.
	But there's still those, you know, there's still people like Mike Pompeo who's lingering, hanging around on the ages.
	And, you know, Pompeo, he would like to get us involved with the war with Iran.
	And he's not so far keen on letting, encouraging talks with Russia.
	That's what I said.
	Trump left to his own, yeah, he'd probably do it.
	But I think the political environment is so toxic in the United States and so blind, so ignorant.
	We're going to walk ourselves into a war at some point.
	We will get defeated.
	We will get beaten.
	And it will be out of that defeat that we will be reborn.
	I'm afraid that's what it's going to take.
	Is it that the West has forgotten, generationally forgotten the price of war?
	Because you have Medvedev, who is there sort of like the bad cop playing off against Putin, and Medvedev is like, hey, guess what?
	We can nuke you.
	We can nuke Paris.
	We can nuke London.
	I mean, it's not that he's threatening to aggressively But then there are other even more radical, you could say, spokespeople in Russia who say that the West needs a nuclear reminder.
	I've heard that phrase.
	Like, I don't know, TV personalities or somebody in Russia saying that maybe they should nuke one city in Western Europe to remind Europe, you know, what war really is.
	I mean, that's a horrifying thought.
	But this is a risk, is it not?
	Yeah.
	The last war, the United States actually won.
	Where we declared victory, dictated terms of surrender, was World War II. People say, well, what about Panama?
	You know, Panama, Iraq, those don't count.
	Those aren't even against peers.
	I'm talking about going up against a nation that has the same military clout and force that you do and beating them down.
	We played to a tie in Korea with the Chinese and the North Koreans.
	We got beat in Vietnam.
	We pulled out.
	We claimed that we won.
	We didn't win.
	We pulled out and abandoned a lot of people in the process.
	So what the United States has got accustomed to these regime change endeavors, which they work for one reason.
	They simply enrich corporations that are making contributions to members of Congress to increase the defense budget, to produce a lot of defense equipment that is, frankly, It's either not useful, not effective.
	Look at the F-35.
	I mean, this terribly expensive aircraft costs an enormous amount of money just to operate it to keep it in the air.
	And it's not that good.
	But we're spending, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars.
	In some cases, it's billions of dollars.
	Look at our aircraft carriers.
	I think the last one that came off the line was $13 billion.
	And that can be destroyed by a $500,000 hypersonic missile that the Russians and the Chinese have.
	Well, is there a risk of that actually happening?
	Because I saw that Iran was engaged in naval exercises with some African nations, I think near the Red Sea, actually.
	And the Houthis have, apparently they've been given hypersonic missiles now.
	And we know that Hezbollah has anti-ship missiles.
	Yeah, I don't think the Houthis, I know the reports that the Houthis got hypersonic, but I've seen no evidence that they have them and are using them.
	But let's remember, for the last three years, four years, Iran has conducted annual, joint, naval, and military exercises with Russia and China together.
	So they've been prepping for the possibility of having to deal with a war with the West.
	And that's where I say the United States is completely unprepared to go take on Iran.
	Look at what we are not able to do with the Houthis.
	We started that operation, excuse me, in December.
	We're now coming up on April 7th.
	So that's, you know, that's well over four months going into five months.
	And we haven't been able to stop the Houthis.
	Really important point.
	Let me ask your overall assessment here to pivot slightly.
	Does the Biden administration, whoever's running it, clearly it's not Joe, but does the administration want a A big world war, to have a bigger crisis in order to disrupt domestically, perhaps elections, to crack down on freedom of speech in the way that Zelensky did in Ukraine, banned all dissenting views to maybe confiscate firearms and violate the Second Amendment.
	Maybe this sounds like a conspiratorial question, but it's also a strategic question.
	Is this something that the Biden administration might be considering?
	I'm sure there may be some in the Biden administration that would like to see that kind of scenario unfold, but I think the majority recognize, and this is why they're taking steps to try to limit U.S. involvement now without expanding it, because they know that there is a strong anti-war sentiment in the United States.
	And they're already...
	They're having to recall retired members of the military because they can't fill the ranks with recruits.
	So they're calling up people that retired and saying, hey, you've got to come back in.
	You're obligated, particularly with officers.
	If you retired as a major or as a lieutenant colonel, they're going to call your ass back in.
	And you gotta go.
	Are they staffing up in anticipation of a war in the Middle East or with Russia, in your view?
	Well, they've got these requirements.
	So they gotta prepare for war with China.
	They gotta be prepared for war with Iran.
	They gotta be prepared for war with Russia.
	And they can't do it.
	We do not have the force structure.
	Right now we've discovered we can't even keep the Ukrainians supplied with artillery rounds, much less artillery howitzers and such.
	So what the United States is facing is the reality that we may imagine ourselves as this industrial giant, but this colossus that existed during World War II, but that doesn't exist anymore.
	We're like the, remember Men in Black at that one scene where they find the guy, the actual alien that's controlling things and he opens some guy's head and it's a little bitty person?
	That's sort of the United States now.
	We're that little bitty person that's actually trying to run things.
	We don't have the steel plants.
	We're not making tanks.
	We're not cranking out tanks at a rate of 10 or 15 a month.
	We're not even cranking them out at a rate of five a year.
	So, across the board, the United States is industrially and militarily unprepared to deal with these threats that we claim are out there.
	And in most cases, we are creating the threats ourselves.
	Yeah, I see they just pulled up the image.
	Now, that's it.
	That's the United States.
	Yeah, the little alien inside the skull.
	Yeah, I fear what we might see if we opened up Joe Biden's skull.
	We'd be like, there's nothing there, you know?
	Yeah.
	Not even an alien, not human, nothing.
	It's a portal to the dimension of nothing.
	Larry, I want to thank you for joining us today.
	Your analysis, I think, is really critical for our leaders to hear and for our audience to hear.
	Tell us real quickly about your website, Sonar21, and what people can find there.
	Yeah, so Sonar21 stands for Son of the New American Revolution, 21st Century.
	I chose that name because I've got 28 ancestors who fought in the American Revolution.
	One of my fifth great uncle.
	He was the secretary of the Continental Congress, Charles Thompson.
	And he held in his possession the Declaration of Independence from 1976 until roughly 1776 to 1798.
	So I've got some genetic blood in this thing as far as keeping America free and promoting liberty.
	But what we're faced with now is a threat to the very constitutional foundation of our republic.
	And it's not external.
	It's not from the Russians.
	It's not from the Chinese.
	It's from within.
	And the foundation of it has been an attack on the family and an attack on religion.
	And once you separate the family and separate people from God, you're on the road to destruction, I believe.
	Well said.
	And we thank you for your time.
	We pray for your safety and we pray for America.
	Thank you so much, Larry Johnson.
	It's been a pleasure.
	Thanks, Mike.
	Okay, hope you enjoyed that interview with Larry Johnson.
	I certainly enjoyed asking him all those questions, and I love the fact that he's willing to just speak the truth.
	He doesn't engage in self-censorship.
	He's not afraid to hammer Israel or hammer Ukraine or hammer, well, anybody.
	The Biden administration, you know, he'll hammer Trump if Trump deserves to be hammered, too, you know.
	Larry Johnson is a straight player.
	He tells it like it is, which is what I appreciate, because I like to consider myself somebody who works in much the same way.
	I like to tell it like it is.
	Not always 100% right, but I'm always striving to be correct about things, and I'm always operating in good faith, that's for sure.
	Now, the next guest, Gerald Salenti, I interviewed just a couple of days ago.
	And Gerald, you know, he's a legend.
	And I've been following Gerald Salenti for, I don't know, 20 years or...
	Longer, I think.
	But Gerald is a cool cat, man.
	I love Gerald's attitude, right?
	He's a New Yorker.
	He's from the Bronx.
	He grew up in the Bronx.
	He's into culture.
	He's into art.
	He's into historic buildings.
	He understands economics.
	He's smart.
	He used to teach martial arts, man.
	He used to do combat.
	Hand-to-hand combat.
	He's a cool cat.
	He likes jazz.
	I like Gerald Salenti because he's a real guy.
	And he doesn't hold back either, right?
	He's uncensored.
	And he's not scripted.
	He's not some stiff, you know, Mitt Romney, old Gore.
	He's not like that.
	Gerald Salenti is truly a cool guy, and he's got a big heart for America, but he's also grieving about what's happening to America and what has happened to his beloved city, New York City, by the way.
	So you're going to enjoy this interview, I believe.
	It's roughly about an hour, I believe.
	There's something in that range.
	It's a great interview.
	I love this guy.
	I'm so thrilled to have him on.
	We're going to have him back again soon.
	So enjoy this interview with Gerald Salenti, and I'll be back on the other side to wrap up the show today.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	And hey guys, show the Texas flag again.
	We finally have the Texas flag all lit up properly here to pay due respect to the wonderful state of Texas.
	I am so proud to be a Texan.
	And Texas, I think, is going to represent the resurgence of economic abundance for our nation.
	Now, speaking of economic abundance, our guest today is an incredibly knowledgeable and very dear person, a very special person.
	It's Gerald Salenti.
	And I want to say before I bring him on that I deeply admire Gerald's commitment to not only the ideals upon which America was founded, but also, Gerald, he's...
	He's an advocate of the arts and the culture, and he buys historic buildings, and he actively works to preserve the very things that made America what it once was, and that is now being lost.
	But it's guys like Gerald Salenti that I'm proud to call fellow Americans.
	So welcome to the show today, Gerald.
	It's an honor to have you on.
	Thank you, and it's an honor to be on.
	I appreciate so much what you do over the years, and so thank you so much.
	But as a loving Texas, once upon a time...
	As a Napolitano born in the Bronx, 1946, right after the war, born to be free.
	Boy, New York City was my kind of town, but not anymore.
	This whole state's turned to crap.
	It breaks my heart.
	It breaks my heart as well.
	I know what you feel, Gerald, because listening to you talk about what has been lost, what could have been, this could have remained the greatest nation in the world.
	New York could have remained the economic epicenter of this continent.
	And it's been thrown away by lunatics.
	Perfectly said.
	You know, they just had April Fool's Day.
	Guess what?
	Every day is April Fool's Day.
	We got a bunch of fools that morons and imbeciles call politicians in government running and ruining our lives.
	It's just a disgrace.
	It breaks my heart to see the decline of this country.
	As I said, I'm so proud to be a Napolitano, born in the Bronx, born to be free.
	As I say, if I was born in Altavilla, I couldn't be me.
	That was the America that I grew up in.
	And now, you better obey what I tell you.
	I'm your governor.
	I'm your little mayor.
	I'm Warren Wilhelm Jr.
	Oh no, I'm changing my name to Bill de Blasio.
	That was my mother's name.
	I'll get the Italian-American votes.
	I'll tell you what to do.
	Close down your business.
	Yep.
	Get out of school.
	Go home.
	I'll tell you what to do.
	I'm your governor.
	I'm your mayor.
	I'm your president.
	You live in America.
	The democracy that slaughters people all over the world selling out the BS that we're bringing freedom and liberty to these countries as they steal it from us.
	Well, you know, in fact, Gerald, I want to get your comments on what New York City Mayor Eric Adams is doing right now.
	So on one hand, he says that New York City is going to be overrun and destroyed by illegals.
	And just for the record, you know, you and I are not opposed to legal immigration.
	We welcome legal immigrants.
	I'm married to a legal immigrant, by the way.
	But the illegals are overrunning New York City.
	And then on the other hand, Mayor Adams there, no relation, by the way, in case anyone was wondering, Mayor Adams there is saying, here, let's hand out tens of millions of dollars to the illegals in these debit cards.
	What is this?
	I said it's April Fool's Day.
	You have fools in charge.
	Do you ask an idiot why they're an idiot?
	Do you ask an arrogant little piece of scum why they're arrogant pieces of scum?
	Do you ask a murderer why they're murderers?
	This guy's a little nobody with a bad attitude.
	A little nothing.
	Just like all of them.
	Which one do you like the best?
	One little clown after another.
	Again, you know, by the way, Just a little bit of my background.
	When I got out of graduate school, I didn't really want to work.
	And something, my mother passed away.
	I had to take care of my younger sisters and my father.
	So I moved back to Yonkers where the family was living.
	I said, what am I going to do?
	So I got involved in political campaigns.
	I was working on major political campaigns in Westchester County, the richest county in America back in the early 70s.
	They were grooming me.
	I... Was the assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate at 26 years old.
	Wow.
	This is a cat running the whole organization.
	When I quit, none of my friends could believe it.
	My good friend, may he rest in peace, Brian Donahue, his wife became lieutenant governor under Pataki.
	They couldn't believe I was going to quit.
	I said, I'm not going to take this.
	I said, I'm watching grown men grovel to suck their way up to the top.
	You're young guys.
	You're hanging out in the back of the chamber.
	You're talking about girls, cars, and sports.
	And you got this guy, Senator Frank Jones, Senator Thompson.
	I said, what's the matter?
	What's this guy opening the door for these people?
	What's this garbage?
	And then my friends would leave me, follow the senator to their seat.
	And you could blow on these seats and they'd move.
	And they'd pull out the chair and help him sit down.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	And they'd come back.
	I'd say, hey, man, what's the matter?
	Cat can't sit down by himself.
	He needs some help.
	No, Gerald, you have that kind of an attitude.
	You're not going to make it here.
	I'm mentioning this because I've been on the other side.
	Here, this is me at 30 years old.
	I was the number two guy running a major trade association, picking up Ronald Reagan at the Chicago Hilton.
	He spoke after our trade show.
	And I put on a brunch with him, 16 of our board of directors, two days before he's announcing he's running against Gerald Ford for the nomination in 1976.
	I've been with presidents, prime ministers, and princes.
	I've been on the other side.
	I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
	It's a freak show.
	You've got gutless little boys and girls running the show.
	Once upon a time, there was a president by the name of Dwight D. Eisenhower, five-star general, supreme commander of the Allied Forces, the same guy that warned us about the military-industrial complex, robbing the nation, the genius of scientists, the sweat of the labors and the future of the children.
	Yeah, that Eisenhower, look up the quote.
	Any man...
	Seeking the office of president is either an egomaniac or crazy.
	That's right.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's extraordinary what you've seen, and the fact that you can package this wisdom and insight into what you do now, because let's talk about the practical things of how you help people with your journal, Trends Journal.
	The website is trendsjournal.com, and I know we've got a special announcement to share in a minute, but I just want to acknowledge here that through your Trends Journal, you analyze what's going on in the world, and you help digest it into actionable items for people.
	Talk about the Trends Journal for a minute.
	It's the only magazine in the world that gives you in-depth geopolitical, socioeconomic, high-tech science, AI, trends analysis and trend forecasts.
	So what we do is we report what is, quote, being reported.
	Then we give our trends analysis.
	This is the way we see it.
	So you know there's no propaganda into it.
	And then we give you our trend forecast.
	This is where we see it going.
	And I'm a political atheist.
	Quickly, I was, again, I told you I was the number two guy running a major trade association.
	And I was living between D.C. and Chicago.
	The Iranian war starts breaking out.
	Jimmy Carter came back from Iran on New Year's Eve with the Shah and his wife.
	This has to do all with trend forecasting and how I became a trend forecaster.
	And, matter of fact, it's in this book, one of my books.
	Trend Tracking, far better than Megatrends, Time Magazine.
	He comes back and says that the Shah is the island of stability in the Middle East.
	That's the quote.
	In the Bronx, we used to say, bullshit has its own sound.
	And people didn't know about the United States overthrow of Mosaddegh, the president of Iran back in 1953, brought to you by the CIA and the MI6. Matter of fact, it was only reported in the Financial Times in 2017 when they actually finally released the information about how Winston Churchill and Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's grandson, were in charge.
	He was with the CIA that overthrew them.
	Millions of people were taking to the streets.
	The people forgot.
	That when they brought the Shah in, the Savak, the secret police, made the SS look good.
	It was slaughtering people.
	The place was...
	So when the protests began, I said, oh, this thing is for real.
	Millions of people were taking to the streets.
	And all they asked was, America, get out of here.
	We don't want you here anymore.
	We're not going to leave.
	You're not going to tell us to leave.
	And that's when the whole thing broke apart.
	Anyway, I said to myself, as everybody's learning to hate Iran, what would be the implications?
	And I said the gold and oil prices would go up.
	This is 19, I'm 32 years old, 1978.
	I made two $5,000 bets playing the futures markets.
	I didn't know what I was doing.
	That's a pretty good chunk of change in the 70s.
	Yeah, I turned it into almost three quarters of a million dollars.
	Wow.
	And that's when I quit my job.
	So that's trend forecasting.
	Looking at things the way they are, not the way you want them to be.
	So now we're going to go back to 1978.
	Let's go to 2024.
	Go to your trends journal.
	Week after week after week after week after week after week after week, we said, oh, one of our top trends for 2023 was Middle East meltdown.
	And we warned that it was going to explode.
	And here we are.
	So...
	We've been warning that Israel is going to ramp up the war.
	Not that they may.
	That they're going to escalate their attacks against Syria.
	Lebanon and Iran.
	Oh, what happened?
	Oh, they just slaughtered, what, several Iranians and about a dozen Syrians?
	I think it was eight Iranians and many, many top officials.
	The head of the Hezbollah group, not the head of Hezbollah, but the head of the IRGC that liaises with Hezbollah.
	And what did they do?
	They blew up a consulate.
	Yes, yes.
	Which is on the consulate grounds.
	And a couple of days before, they killed 52 people in Syria, Israel.
	And they've been bombing more deeper into Lebanon.
	So now, we kept saying, as this escalates, you're going to see the price of oil go, bread crude go up.
	Brent crude was trading near the $70 a barrel level not too long ago.
	Now it's near $90 a barrel.
	If this, when the military escalation increases between Israel and Iran, you're going to see oil prices spike to above $130 a barrel.
	Goes back to trend forecasting.
	We also said, as these Iran war and Ukraine war keep heating up, you're going to see gold prices go way up.
	And here they are, record highs.
	What was it, $22.50 plus?
	Oh, it was $22.70, $22.80.
	Yeah.
	And what's one of your top trends for 2024 that came out on January 3rd?
	A golden year for gold.
	It's right there.
	I want to ask you, Gerald, about this escalation that Israel just committed by bombing the consulate building on the embassy grounds there in Damascus.
	Okay, so it's in Syria, but it's Iranian territory because it's the Iranian embassy and the consulate.
	Even Russia spoke out against this.
	Basically, this is insane.
	This violates conventions.
	This violates the rules of war.
	What is Israel trying to do with this?
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	People have, again, tracking trends is the understanding of where we are and how we got here to see where you're going.
	So let's go back again, how we got here.
	Let's go back to December 2022.
	Netanyahu gets elected as prime minister.
	Not my language in the mainstream media.
	Again, we report with their reporting that we give our trends analysis and trend forecasts.
	Extreme right wing government.
	Week after week from 2022, end of December, All through 2023, Israel was committing atrocities week after week after week against the Palestinians with this extreme right-wing government.
	Then, Hamas attacks on October 7th, 2023.
	Also during that time, from January 2023 to October 7th, 2023, Netanyahu tried to push through a Judicial Reform Act, which basically said we're doing away with the courts and the politicians are in charge.
	Week after week after week.
	Facts.
	39 weeks in a row.
	Tens of thousands of people were protesting in Israel against what Netanyahu was doing.
	Not my language, but the language from the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog.
	When this is going on, the demonstrations, Israel is, quote, in a civil war.
	Ah, civil war.
	Hamas attacks, everybody forgot about what I just said.
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	You go back to October 7th, and again, we write the facts as they're being reported.
	Two days after this happened, after Hamas attacked, there were articles that came out that both the United States and Egypt had warned Israel that this was going to happen.
	And more and more information is coming out that said they knew this was going to happen.
	They let it happen.
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	That's right.
	So, that's...
	Go on, I'm sorry.
	Okay, no, I'm sorry to interrupt.
	You saw this coming.
	The warning signs were there.
	Yeah.
	Even many Israelis saw this coming, and they tried to stop the Netanyahu takeover of Israel.
	I find it interesting that now many Israelis are protesting yet again, now, just recently, against Netanyahu.
	And many Jews all around the world are strongly protesting Netanyahu's policies because I think, and I'd like your take on this, but I think they realize that if Netanyahu is not removed from power, he threatens the very existence of Israel because he...
	He is making so many enemies around the world, some of those enemies have the means to destroy Israel, and if he isn't stopped, then Israel may not survive.
	Is that an accurate assessment?
	To an extent, because when you look at the Poles coming out of Israel, they can't stand Netanyahu, but they support the war.
	I see.
	And then when you look at the people that will take his place, they support the war as well.
	But then there's the other element of Jewish people, like Jewish Voice for Peace.
	Like Norman Finkelstein.
	Like Max Blumenthal.
	That come out with the facts that they are totally opposed to what Israel is doing.
	So there is that minority that are against it.
	But the people of Israel, again, it's not going to...
	By the way, since October 7th, Israel has stolen...
	Nearly 7,000 acres of Palestinian land.
	Yeah, it never stops.
	And they use this baloney.
	I mentioned this guy, Isaac Herzog.
	Oh, they could steal the land.
	You know why?
	God gave us this land.
	Which I would say to him, man to man, F you, who are you talking to?
	What if I don't believe in your God?
	Could you handle that?
	Don't give me this crap about God.
	I know, it's in the book of chapter 6, section 8.
	What are you talking about?
	This is in violation of the Geneva Convention and article 242 of the United Nations.
	So they keep stealing the land.
	They're making a very bad situation worse.
	Oh, and again, what did we hear out of that Jared Kushner's mouth?
	Recently, Trump's son-in-law.
	Oh, yeah, the valuable real estate, the beachfront real estate in Gaza, right?
	That's right.
	It's unbelievable.
	Yep, it's very unfortunate, he goes on to say.
	What's happening?
	Unfortunate?
	Genocide in front of everybody's eyes, by the definition?
	Unfortunate?
	Right.
	Oh, and then we could move the people out of there and put them into the desert.
	Yeah, well, Netanyahu said something similar.
	He said, well, they can move.
	They can just pick up their tents and move.
	I mean, the arrogance.
	And you know, when Netanyahu came to America a number of times, he stayed with Kushner's father.
	Oh, did he?
	His house.
	And Kushner's father was sent to jail for things that he did.
	And Trump pardoned him.
	And Kushner gave him a million dollars for his campaign.
	There's a crime syndicate running the country.
	So you're asking me before about why people are doing this.
	You don't ask a murderer why they're murderers.
	Narcissistic, arrogant freaks why they're narcissistic, arrogant freaks.
	They are in charge of the world.
	Take a look.
	You like the little cuts on Macron?
	I mean, what?
	Oh, how about Sunak over there?
	I want to ask you about Macron here shortly.
	But let me mention...

	You've been right again and again and again.
	So thank you for Trends Journal.
	Thank you.
	And again, it's only costing about $2.50 a week.
	It's like a lousy cup of coffee a day.
	Barely.
	Barely a cup of coffee.
	I have to tell you, I've never worked harder in my life.
	The Trends Journal used to be a quarterly, then it went to a monthly, and now it's a weekly.
	And it's over 170 pages.
	And you can listen to it, by the way, and it's in different languages.
	And you read what you want.
	You know, it's a magazine.
	So we're doing everything we can to give people history before it happens because I've been at this 44 years now.
	We're in the most dangerous times of our lifetime.
	Yes.
	And people better do all they can to prepare, prevail, and to prosper because we're in a situation now That's never existed before and when you want to talk about when you're ready to on the economic front and going back to why gold is going to be one of the big ones, we're going to have a banking crisis.
	It's one of our top trends for 2024 that barely no one is talking about in detail.
	I do want to talk about that, and I was just checking gold prices while you were mentioning that.
	You're right.
	2270, almost 74, almost.
	Wow.
	I mean, unbelievable.
	Gold, for those watching, look, gold is up, I think in four years, it's up like 48%.
	In just four months, it's up something like 20%.
	These are rough numbers.
	It's not the exact math, but Gold is now skyrocketing.
	You called it, Gerald.
	You saw it coming.
	And you know that it's not going to stop here because the dollar is being devalued and of what's happening in the Middle East.
	So give us your take on where gold may be going.
	Gold, first of all, gold would be a lot higher if there wasn't a Bitcoin.
	And by the way, I gamble in Bitcoin.
	I started gambling in it at $17,000.
	And now it's around $65,000.
	But to me, that's a gamble.
	But here's why.
	If Bitcoin didn't exist, gold prices would be double what they are.
	But again, you have to put it all together.
	It's not what you like, what you want, or what you wish for.
	Argentina.
	You have an inflation rate of about 250%.
	Turkey, about 70%.
	So the people all around the world are watching the value of their currency declining.
	So the average person can't buy gold in a lot of countries.
	So what they're doing is they're buying digital currencies.
	That's driving that up.
	Now let's go to gold.
	This is very simple.
	We're in the run-up to the presidential election.
	And every time ruling parties in, they do everything they can to boost up the economy.
	The old line of the Clinton campaign back in 1992, behind the scenes, it's the economy, stupid.
	That's what the people are interested in the most.
	They're going to do everything they can to prop up the economy in the run-up to the election to keep the party in power in power.
	Why?
	Who's our treasury secretary?
	As we'd say in Italian, Janet Yellen.
	What was the last job?
	Oh, she was the Fed head.
	Wait a minute.
	You mean the former Fed head is now our Treasury Secretary?
	Yeah, what's the matter with you?
	Don't you see who's running the country?
	Oh, by the way, this is one of the Trends Journal covers back in 2011.
	Nothing has changed.
	Christ, beating the money changers?
	Is that what that is?
	Now it's the Goldman Sachs gang, the Merrill Lynch mob, you know.
	JPMorgan Chase, you know.
	Love it.
	Nothing's changed.
	So they're going to do everything they can.
	It goes back to gold.
	The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.
	The death of the dollar has begun.
	It's only artificially propped up because of high interest rates.
	As interest rates go down, the dollar goes down, gold prices go up.
	Because also, gold is dollar-based.
	So as the dollar gets cheaper, it's Cheaper for other countries to buy more gold.
	And look at the facts.
	China.
	Record year of buying gold.
	The country.
	Central banks.
	Record year of buying gold.
	Last year, and it's breaking a new record this year.
	Go back to China.
	The people in China see the devastation that was committed by three years of zero COVID policy that destroyed the economy.
	So what are they doing?
	This year already, retail sales of gold have gone up in China 24%.
	So, the lower the dollar goes, the higher gold prices go.
	And again, you're putting it all together.
	What's our debt?
	Around $35 trillion approaching.
	It's only increasing a trillion dollars every 100 days.
	And that's only for now.
	Soon it'll be a trillion every two months.
	That's where it's headed.
	Yeah.
	So gold is...
	It could easily double in prices.
	Because, again, as World War III has begun, it's going to...
	Again, as I keep saying, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	You don't have to believe me.
	You look at the facts.
	You go back.
	This is one of our trends journals when it used to be quarterly.
	And this is 1999.
	Front page story.
	Dot com this.
	Dot com overload will short circuit high expectations for huge profits in internet commerce, entertainment and a wide array of dot com services.
	Following the holiday season, many of today's high flying internet stocks, the hottest IPOs and newly emerging IPO wannabes We'll have begun their deep descent from their overvalued heights.
	We warned that it would happen by the second quarter of 2000.
	It did.
	And, you know, you also called out the subprime mortgage collapse before it happened as well.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, we took out the domain name, the Panic of 08, back in 2007.
	So let's go back to this.
	What happened when the dot-com bust?
	Oh, America's going deep into recession.
	Everybody hates little Georgie Bush, the daddy's boy born on third base and thought he had a home run with a brain smaller than a pea and a thing about this big one.
	9-11 happens.
	Everybody forgot about the dot-com bust.
	Everybody forgot about it and then they had the fake real estate market with the subprime mortgages and we were just talking about it.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Let's go back to World War II. Don't have to believe me.
	Go to the mainstream media history today.
	Type in, Google up, Franklin Roosevelt seizes Japanese assets.
	Ah.
	Comes right up.
	In July of 1941.
	July?
	When did they bomb Pearl Harbor?
	Oh, in December.
	Okay.
	In July of 1931, Frank and Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets in July of 1941 because those dirty Japanese, you know what they did?
	They invaded French Indochina.
	Wait a minute.
	French Indochina?
	What the hell are the French doing in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia?
	Oh, you mean they're stealing all their tin, rubber, rape, pillage, and robbing everything they can?
	Why, how dare those dirty Japanese go in there?
	And take what the French stole first, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Then, then, the United Kingdom, you know, the sun never sets on the British Empire, those slaughtering people, and the Dutch, oh, the Dutch in Indonesia stealing and robbing and pillaging there?
	They put sanctions along with the United States on Japan that cut off, this is right in history today, three quarters of their trade.
	Including energy.
	88% of, you nailed it, 88% of their imported oil.
	They only import 100%.
	Can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor.
	Yeah, gee.
	What I'm saying, World War III has begun, Mike.
	They're going to use a false flag event to get the people to rally around it.
	Just like they did with 9-11.
	We're going to get that guy Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.
	88% of the people swallow the crap spewing out of the mouth of that little jerky nobody, little Georgie Bush.
	But Gerald, this reminds me of exactly what's happening today.
	I'm so glad you brought this up because when you look at the terror attack at the crocus We're good to go.
	That struck the consulate building.
	So these are provocations.
	Just like we provoked Japan in World War II with the energy embargo that put Japan in a do-or-die situation, you can see the provocations against Russia.
	It's like whoever's managing Joe Biden wants Russia to launch the first nuke so that they can justify World War III and maybe canceling elections and who knows what else.
	It's the same picture.
	Yep.
	This is your trend journal from December, excuse me, spring 2014.
	So how happy that guy is?
	Washington is driving the world to the final war.
	You ready?
	Ukraine presented the perfect opportunity for Washington to advance its hegemonic agenda.
	In a speech at the National Press Club last December, meaning 2013, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted that Washington had invested $5 billion in non-governmental organization NGOs in Ukraine to teach democracy.
	Yeah, she was running the coup.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	That was written by Dr.
	Paul Craig Roberts.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah.
	So people, again, forget how we got here.
	That's right.
	They have no idea the United States overthrown.
	By the way, you know why they overthrew them?
	Not my language, but from the European Union, that Ukraine is the most corrupt nation in Europe.
	And the latest poll that came out from Ukraine, 89% of the people are concerned about corruption.
	That's the number two issue.
	The war is number one.
	What happened was the place has been busted since the breakup of the Soviet Union, and it needed money.
	They're going to make a deal with the IMF and the EU. Was it the International Mafia Federation?
	Oh, monetary.
	Right.
	And Putin said, I got a better deal for you.
	I'm going to give you lower interest rates and I'm going to cut back the price of your oil and gas.
	Okay, we'll go with you.
	No, you won't.
	And that was the overthrow of the government.
	So again, people have no idea how we got here.
	As I said, I appreciate being on with you, but we haven't mentioned anything about Taylor Swift.
	Oh, right.
	And we probably won't.
	What I'm saying is that's what the American people know about.
	They don't know what's going on.
	They're going to buy the lies.
	They're going to support it.
	I don't know anything about Taylor Swift except that she's a singer.
	I know more about Victoria Nuland than I will ever know about Taylor Swift, and I wish I could erase my memory of Victoria Nuland from my mind because it's a haunting, horrible image.
	She's done so much damage to this world.
	Again, you ask why people do anything.
	Who in their right mind would look up to a Again, to use the Italian language, misfaccia brut, like her.
	Who, though?
	How stupid can you be to swallow the crap coming out of these people's mouths?
	Oh, no, I look up to little Chucky Schumer.
	I like Lindsey Graham.
	I mean, what's that?
	Peter Schiff.
	I mean, look at Adam Schiff.
	Excuse me, I like Peter Schiff.
	I didn't want him to miss the two of you.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Apologies to Peter Schiff right there.
	Just a slip of the tongue there, but we know who you're talking about.
	But let me translate this, okay?
	I would say that people who don't heed your advice are going to lose everything that's left in dollars.
	And that's a strong statement, but I believe that.
	It is.
	I believe it too.
	And again, you know, we are heading for The worst of times.
	You know, we're going to head into an economic collapse, the likes of which we've never seen in human history.
	But again, you mentioned, I just want to go back to it, you said that they may, Russia may use a nuclear weapon.
	If the world goes nuclear, you know, they asked a cat, a new thing or two about the atomic bomb.
	What's his name?
	Einstein.
	What kind of weapons will be used to fight the Third World War?
	He said, I don't know, but they'll be using sticks and stones to fight the Fourth.
	This would be the end of life on Earth.
	It was John F. Kennedy's speech to the graduating students at American University in June of 1963.
	It's all about peace.
	And he goes on to say that no country suffered more during World War II than the Russians.
	And he talks about Operation Barbarossa, where Hitler killed over 20 million Russians.
	Numbers are up to 25 million today, they report.
	And they lost their land, their factories, their homes, the equivalent of Chicago East.
	He said, we don't want to go to war with them.
	Because if we do, and there's an atomic exchange...
	Life on Earth will end in 24 hours.
	That's 1963.
	Oh, my.
	Oh, and then five months later, Jack, you're dead.
	Six months later, he was all about peace.
	At the end of his speech, people should read this.
	He said, America will never go to war again.
	Six months later, after he's dead, LBJ, LB Jerkoff over there, Took us into the Vietnam War.
	That's right.
	Oh, and before you were mentioning about migrants, very important.
	Again, all things are connected.
	That's when they started loosening the immigration laws.
	I'm Vietnam War era draft meet.
	Every day I used to wake up and they're going to get me, they're going to get me.
	And by the way, I want to make this clear.
	I was stupid enough as a young guy to believe in the war.
	I even voted for Richard Nixon in 1968.
	Again, you learn.
	You keep learning and learning and learning and grow up.
	And the only reason I didn't go to the war is I didn't want to get killed.
	So I did everything I could to avoid the draft.
	So going back, they're drafting all the guys.
	They needed cheap labor.
	They needed more labor.
	That's when they loosened the first immigration laws.
	Number two, and this is in my book, Trend Tracking.
	It's an international bestseller.
	I talked before about the dot-com bust.
	The internet revolution began like in the early 90s, around 93, 94.
	And they need employees.
	They need help.
	And people were asking for higher wages.
	They came up with this thing called H-1B visas.
	We're bringing in cheap labor from China and India.
	That was the other one.
	Now...
	Again, making connections between different fields and how we got here, where we are, and where we're going.
	When I was a young guy, there were grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores.
	Now they're all chains.
	Drug chains, supermarket chains, hardware chains.
	You go into any of the chain stores, go into any of them, help want it.
	Help want it.
	All we are are plantation workers of Slavelandia.
	We don't own our own businesses anymore.
	No mom and pops.
	So, they need cheap labor.
	Come on in.
	It's like Tyson Foods announcing they're going to hire 40,000 migrants.
	You got it.
	While firing Americans.
	Yep.
	Germany.
	We have a labor shortage.
	You don't have a labor shortage.
	Oh, the immigrants are good.
	They want cheap labor.
	That's why they're bringing them in.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	But let's talk about Europe, actually, for a second, because we only have a few minutes left, and I want to be sure to cover this.
	Let me just remind our viewers, transjournal.com is the website where you can subscribe.

	So, trendsjournal.com, subscribe, use discount code RANGER. Let's talk about Macron and France and how the West now appears to be realizing that Ukraine is not going to be able to defeat Russia after all.
	All the promises, all the secret weapons, everything, it was all BS. The situation looks dire for Ukraine.
	How do you think this goes from here and what are the implications?
	There's going to be a false flag event, just like you mentioned what happened with the concert hall.
	They're going to ramp it up.
	They're not going to quit.
	And again, go back to your Trends Journal.
	December, excuse me, February 22nd, two days before Russia invaded.
	Again, totally imposed against Russia invading Ukraine.
	Totally understand why they did it.
	We said that there's no way in the world that...
	Ukraine is going to defeat Russia if they go to war and they should negotiate for peace.
	And again, make it clear.
	Once upon a time, there was a guy by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte that left Poland with 420,000 troops.
	There's this famous graph, by the way, that shows it.
	He leaves Poland with 420,000 French troops, comes back with 10,000.
	Operation Barbarossa, launched by Hitler, kills over 25 million Russians, destroys the place.
	Who are the first ones to beat the Germans in World War II? The Russians.
	So what they're going to do is they're going to have a false flag event that's going to keep this going.
	And again, World War III has begun.
	And if we don't have peace, it's going to be hell on earth.
	And again, that little Macron is a little nothing of a boy.
	He's polling ratings like Schultz in Germany, Sunak in the UK. They're all in the toilet.
	And so again, they keep ramping up war talk.
	It seems like they've completely lost touch with reality.
	When you look at just the supply of munitions, in the UK it's said that they could last 10 days in a war with Russia before they run out of everything.
	In Germany, a very similar situation, their industrial production is kaput.
	Appropriate term there because of the Nord Stream pipeline destruction.
	Germany chose the wrong allies.
	Germany should have made Russia their ally and they would have a thriving economy.
	Instead, they allied with America that destroyed their economy.
	How come German leaders don't realize this?
	Again, as I mentioned, you don't ask a crazy person why they're crazy.
	Okay, good point.
	These are imbeciles.
	They're arrogant, narcissistic freaks.
	That's all they are.
	They're nobodies.
	Again, I've been on the other side.
	These are a bunch of little nothings with bad attitudes.
	It's a suicide cult at the same time, right?
	They're crazy.
	You don't ask a crazy person why they're nuts.
	You mentioned that we don't have a lot of time, but I really want to get very important.
	Please.
	One of our top trends for 2024, the banks are going to go bust.
	Oh, yes.
	We've got to cover this, and commercial real estate in particular.
	Here, these are a couple of headlines.
	S&P Global downgrades outlook on five regional U.S. banks to negative.
	Banks face $2 trillion wall of commercial property debt.
	Five banks have combined half trillion dollars in commercial real estate loans.
	More failed banks and office building demolitions likely before real estate problems end is a federal agency.
	Study finds Wall Street mega banks have overstated income for years on commercial real estate.
	You ready?
	New York City's delinquency property taxes soar.
	Overdue property taxes are forecast to reach the highest level ever.
	And the overall vacancy rate, the Manhattan office space, stood.
	It's now at 23%.
	You think that's bad?
	Take a trip over to Portland, Oregon.
	29%.
	You look at some of the data they're saying over in San Francisco, 30%.
	These are vacancy rates.
	Vacancy rates.
	Nobody there.
	Nobody there.
	Empty.
	Oh, what is the office occupancy rate?
	Oh, 50.6% according to Castle Systems with a K. Hmm.
	You mean only 50% of the buildings are occupied with people?
	That's right.
	So now...
	How are the owners of the buildings going to pay their loans that are coming up with these trillions of dollars worth of debt that's coming due?
	They're not.
	282 banks, according to the latest study, are in deep trouble.
	Let's go back to last year around this time.
	Oh, the Silicon Valley Bank busted.
	Oh, and then Signature Bank and First Republic, three banks?
	Now we're talking about 300.
	There's no way they're going to bail them out.
	No way in the world.
	It goes back to gold.
	And it goes back to the equity markets.
	People don't realize how bad things are until the equity markets go down.
	Well, I remember last year when Silicon Valley Bank went down, there was this mass panic to buy gold and silver, retail gold and silver in the hands of the people.
	And I know you recall this too, Gerald.
	You've got a great memory.
	You couldn't get it.
	It was 60 days out, 90 days out.
	The pipeline of available gold and silver is so tiny.
	That it was just one bank collapse back then that depleted the entire supply.
	Now you're talking about 280-plus bank failures that are likely to happen probably over the next, what, 18, 24 months, something in that window.
	What's this going to do to gold and silver?
	Again, that's why I said gold prices could double.
	Nobody's talking about the details of the banking bust.
	Go back to your Trends Journal.
	We called an office building bust when they started locking down everybody.
	We warned that this was going to happen.
	It's very simple.
	People were staying home day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
	And then they're saying to themselves, I was getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to commute an hour and a half each way, wasting my life and money.
	I'm not doing it anymore.
	I'm the guy that has, let's say, 400 people in 12 stories or whatever.
	And they're all in these little cubicles.
	I don't see them anywhere.
	Yeah, stay home.
	I don't need all this space.
	That's what's going on.
	And now let's put it all together.
	Your office, your foot traffic in midtown Manhattan, it's down 33% from pre-COVID times.
	All the businesses that depended on commuters, going out of business, They're not coming anymore.
	And when they are going to work, they're going Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
	Hey, we used to have happy hour on Friday.
	Ain't happy times no more.
	Gone.
	Gone.
	And, by the way, where I am up in Kingston, this is the first capital of New York State, and the third Dutch settlement.
	They're flooding up out of the city.
	Over 100,000 people, estimated, have left the city last year.
	They're flooding up to the suburbs and expurbs.
	They're getting out.
	Again, I'm a city guy.
	I know the old city.
	Even at the worst in the 70s, you were never afraid to go out.
	Now people are afraid to go out at night.
	You see women getting punched all the time.
	Guys getting hit in the back of the head.
	People being thrown into subways.
	It's one after another.
	This was not like this before.
	Even the New York City people, they want to get out of there.
	And The prices for rent is still very high.
	Here, here's a number that just came out.
	Attacks in New York City transit, mass transit jumped 50%.
	50%.
	Well, now they've got the National Guard troops in the subway.
	They've got the police.
	It's a police state now.
	Could you believe it?
	Yeah.
	Could you believe this is happening?
	Random unconstitutional searches of people's bags.
	I can't believe how many people are just going along with it.
	That's astonishing to me.
	88% of the people believed little Georgie Bush were going to get that guy Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.
	My father, may he rest in peace, when I started learning stuff, two things he told me.
	I'd repeat what I heard on the media and he'd say to me in Italian, Papagallo, parrot.
	Stop repeating what everybody else is saying and think for yourself.
	Talk to me in a very disgusting way.
	And the other thing, when I started to learn, I said, Pop, I said, how come people don't see this?
	He'd say to me, son, people have little minds.
	And goes back to Taylor Swift.
	Do I give a shit about Taylor Swift?
	I mean, it's one little clown after another that they keep talking about.
	Oh, these are celebrities.
	They don't pee or poo.
	They're celebrities.
	What are celebrities?
	What are you talking about?
	Oh, by the way, when I ran that major trade association, I put on a concert with Ella Fitzgerald, took over the Atlanta Convention Center, took over the Superdome, put on with Dionne Warwick, and you're telling me about Taylor Swift?
	I mean, that's how low America's gone.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's so true.
	But you know, Gerald, this trend won't last forever.
	It's a very dark time.
	There are cycles of history, as you are well aware, and you've written about extensively.
	There will be a day that we come out of this, and that's why I think it's crucial that the American people, those listening to this, recognize you're either going to come out of this with your sanity and your assets intact, or you're going to come out of this broken and broke.
	And the choice of how you navigate this is going to come down to getting access to good information.
	To know what's coming.
	Trends Journal, man.
	Thank you.
	But the real big issue here is that we have to unite for peace.
	I also launched Occupy Peace Movement over a decade.
	I remember that.
	Yep.
	World War III has begun.
	Again, if we don't have peace, it's going to be hell on earth.
	Oh, yeah.
	And so here's what My suggestions.
	Number one, and again, you host Alex Jones.
	I do a week there.
	Every week I do a Monday for an hour.
	It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men, said Samuel Adams.
	And we are that irate, tireless minority.
	And we're the ones that have to unite For the true meaning of the American spirit.
	That's right.
	And number two, people ask me, what can I do?
	What can I do?
	Well, you're the health manager.
	Get in the best shape you can, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
	You've got to be in the best shape you can to be.
	I'm a warrior for the Prince of Peace.
	I'm a fighter, and I'm fighting for peace.
	Not violently, but also, I don't know if you know this, but I had my own school.
	I taught close combat for many years.
	I do know that, yeah.
	So I attack the attacker.
	I don't look for fights.
	But what I'm saying is you have to be in the best shape you can.
	And do something positive every day to help those who need help in any way you can.
	Yes.
	And that, to me, is the way it could change.
	And once upon a time, there was a thing called a renaissance.
	In Italy, they used to say, remember, the black plague, some 60% of the people were wiped out.
	They realized how screwed up they were with the filth and the terrible sanitation equipment.
	They said, the manner of the Romans and the ancients to describe the quality of their work.
	We need a renaissance to bring back the quality of America that used to be.
	And to me, that's what could change it.
	Art, a wonderful French girlfriend of mine, Marie-Pierre, used to say, art is the way of finding the true meaning of the human spirit.
	Mm-hmm.
	And we have to bring back the true art of America.
	When jazz was jazz, when style was style, when hot was hot.
	That's what we need.
	We're right there with you, Gerald.
	And we love you as a fellow American, a fellow human being.
	And we appreciate your contributions to this world and to our viewers.
	And I believe that history will judge you kindly.
	For all the concerns that you have raised, the red flags, and helping people navigate through this.
	So I just want to thank you personally.
	I've followed you for years and you've impacted me as well, Gerald.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	It's very kind of you.
	Thank you.
	Again, they ask people what their legacy is going to be.
	I could give a damn what my legacy is.
	I'm dead.
	I don't care.
	Again, as I said, I pulled a lot of crap in my life.
	You learn about things as you grow up, and you can't stop learning.
	That's number one.
	I've never worked harder in my life.
	I try to learn as much as I can to do the best that I can, because I want to get out of here on a high note.
	Critical care nurses say the greatest regret of dying people Is they didn't become the person they could have become.
	And I don't want to go out like that.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Well, and you won't.
	That's for sure.
	You are the person that you want to be.
	And we admire your work.
	So thank you so much.

	And Gerald, one last thing I just want to tell you.
	You know, we're launching a reality-based large language model, an AI system on Brighteon.ai, and this interview will go into training the AI, so there's going to be a little bit of your knowledge that's in the AI system.
	And I was testing it last night, and I was asking it about MMT versus gold, and it was giving us an answer that almost sounded like you.
	So it's really good.
	We've finally managed to use AI for something that isn't evil.
	But anyway.
	As I said, we call the dot-com bust, and people ask me about the AI. I say, no, no.
	Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age, and die.
	AI has just been born.
	This thing's going to keep going.
	Like it or not, the good, the bad, the ugly of it, it's going to keep going.
	Yeah, we're just trying to use it to give people access to reality-based knowledge on all kinds of topics from geoengineering and GMOs and vaccines and you name it.
	Anyway, we're out of time, Gerald.
	I'd love to have you back again soon.
	This has been a real delight to speak with you today.
	Thank you for taking the time with us.
	We honor that.
	Oh, thank you, and I honor all you're doing.
	I'm honored to be on with you.
	Thank you.

	We do the most extensive lab testing of anybody in the industry.
	We also have turmeric root powder back in stock.
	This is a very difficult product to find in terms of getting clean lots because lead is the most common contaminant in turmeric root powder.
	And if you're getting turmeric root from a source that doesn't do routine testing of every lot, Then you're going to be exposed to higher levels of lead than what you might expect.
	Trust me on that.
	We have to reject most of the lots of turmeric that we see.
	We also have collagen powder back in stock.
	This is a real neutral tasting collagen.
	It, of course, helps support your body's natural construction of ligaments and connective tissue and can help your skin have the appearance of, well, a more youthful appearance.
	A lot of people love collagen.
	For a while we didn't carry it, but there were so many non-clean sources out there that we decided we've got to have a clean source.
	You can find all those products and more at healthrangerstore.com.
	We have a new website layout there.
	We've got items that are on sale here.
