	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Friday, May 3rd, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, founder of brighteon.com and naturalnews.com, many other websites.
	Thank you for joining me today as we are building the infrastructure of human freedom and also working to sound the alarm so that those of you wise enough to tune in may have a chance to navigate and survive the The engineered collapse of Western civilization that is now underway.
	And today's topic is one of those topics that even has me thinking I should stop doing this work and just dig a deeper bunker.
	It's that crazy.
	We're going to be interviewing...
	A really brilliant person today.
	His name is Fadi Lama.
	He's the author of a book called Why the West Can't Win, From Bretton Woods to a Multipolar World.
	That book is available everywhere.
	And let's see, who's the publisher of that book?
	That book's published by Clarity Press.
	I'm not familiar with Clarity Press, but anyway, I'm glad they published this book.
	So Dr.
	Fadi Lama, he's an international advisor for the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development.
	He's a partner in DNL Strategic Consulting, which offers consulting services in geoeconomics industry, SMEs, and academia.
	I'm not sure what SMEs refer to here.
	He's the founder and general manager of a testing equipment and industrial automation systems manufacturing company.
	Yeah, he's got a PhD, by the way, in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech.
	He's got a master's in manufacturing technology from the City University of London and a BE in mechanical engineering from another university.
	So he's a highly educated engineer.
	He's a researcher, author, and he's a numbers guy.
	So people who are into engineering, especially mechanical engineers, they have to be driven by numbers and data.
	And his book has been called, quote, an extraordinary insight into the history and present day nature of the financial oligarchy.
	And also a brilliantly detailed analysis of the epochal forces that are dictating today's massive shift in world geopolitical power.
	So I interviewed Mr.
	Lama today.
	We had a great conversation.
	In fact, seriously, you'll see that he really enjoyed the conversation.
	I think that a lot of the people I interview are just really delighted to have an interview with somebody that knows what's going on in the world instead of being interviewed by clueless journalists reading a script who have a piece of paper like, ask these nine questions.
	And then they go through the questions.
	I don't ever go off scripts for interviews.
	I don't have to because, of course, my job and what I do every day is analyzing world events.
	So people know that I have a lot of knowledge about what's going on in the world because I study it every single day.
	So a highly intelligent person like Fadi Lama, when he and I get to talking, oh, you can bet we go deep down the rabbit hole.
	And today's interview is, it's a game changer.
	This is a mind-blowing interview.
	Now, I'm going to spoil it a little bit, actually, by giving you sort of an upfront analysis or a summary of the key emphasis of what he found with his research and what he outlines in his book.
	Of course, there's a lot more in the book itself if you purchase the book.
	But also then...
	What this means, for those of you listening, if you live in Western countries, so Western Europe, U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, you know, etc., Japan, Taiwan, if you live in any Western nations, your future, well, let me clarify, maybe not your particular future, because you're going to be able to navigate this better than most, but the future of your nation is not good, and And there's a very data-driven reason why.
	So this isn't just conjecture.
	This isn't just opinion.
	This isn't some guy pulling an opinion out of his hat and saying, oh, I think it's going to go downhill.
	No, it's not that at all.
	And you'll find out why.
	The future is already set.
	I mean, the broad strokes of it.
	Of course, the little details can change.
	And who lives and who dies can change, and that's why preparedness is important.
	But the broad strokes of what's happening on our planet are already done.
	And the broad strokes are that Western civilization will fall.
	It will fall.
	That's why I'm calling today's podcast The Fall of the West, and why the economic future of our world belongs to China, Russia, India, and Iran.
	Now, this is not me cheerleading for China, Russia, India, and Iran.
	Three out of those four are currently regarded as enemies by the United States of America.
	And I'm not rooting for Communist China to dominate the world's economy, by the way.
	I'm a fan of Taiwan, you know?
	I used to live in Taiwan.
	I'm not rooting for Iran to dominate the world.
	But of course, at the same time, there are major problems with things that Israel is doing.
	We'll talk about Israel here in a second.
	But I'm a realist.
	And you can't deny...
	The fall of the West that is accelerating, and the successes of countries like China and Russia and Iran and India, and there are some other examples as well.
	And by the way, these are mostly the BRICS nations, and that's not a coincidence.
	But there are so many successes that have been demonstrated by these countries.
	And just to give you a small set of examples, China having mastered massive industrial output, massive naval shipyard construction capacity that is reported to be 200 times greater than the United States.
	There's one example.
	Russia being able to mass produce artillery and drones and to be able to innovate rapidly with new generations of weapons systems and to be able to invest domestically in their own industrial supply chains based on cheap.
	affordable energy that Russia has an abundant supply of and then harnessing that domestically to have more military-industrial output than all G7 nations combined.
	Yes, Russia is outproducing the entire G7. That's, I mean, just whether you're pro-Russia, anti-Russia, pro-Putin, anti-Putin, you have to acknowledge that that is an industrial success story.
	Russia is doing something extraordinary, even under extreme punitive sanctions of the West.
	And by the way, it turns out that the sanctions actually helped Russia.
	So just another example of the West shooting itself in the foot, or more likely, given the Joe Biden regime, shooting itself in the head, metaphorically speaking, because everybody's lost their minds in the West.
	Another example is Iran.
	So Iran recently unleashing this strategically brilliant...
	Don't confuse this with me cheerleading for the Iranian government.
	That's not what this is.
	This is me analyzing reality on the battlefield.
	Okay?
	In reality, what Iran just did by demonstrating this absolutely genius tactic of launching hundreds of low-cost drones and low-cost rockets combined with a very small number of precision-guided ballistic missiles,
	what they did is they depleted Israel's anti-air defense systems significantly, not entirely, but they caused Israel to spend billions of dollars in one day Or, technically, that caused the U.S. to spend billions of dollars on behalf of Israel, because the U.S. is paying Israel's military bills, of course.
	And then, at the same time, Iran established what you might call escalation dominance.
	I know there are other terms for it, but Iran just sent a message to Israel saying that we can strike any target we want in Israel at any time with whatever payload we want to put on our advanced evasive missiles that duck and weave and dodge anti-air defense systems on the way in.
	And that we, Iran, we can hit Tel Aviv, we can hit Israel's military bases, and we can do so at any time, and there's nothing that you can do to stop it.
	That message was sent.
	And what day was that?
	It was around the middle of April.
	Because I remember, I think it was April 1st that Israel struck the Iranian consulate building in Damascus.
	And then it was about two weeks later that Iran then retaliated with this brilliant drone strike and missile strike against Israel.
	So this established Iran's technological and military dominance in a way that cannot be ignored.
	The rules of the game have changed.
	And the Western nations, which includes Israel and the United States, Western nations have suddenly found themselves obsolete.
	Obsolete.
	And not only are they obsolete, but they have no mechanism by which they could catch up to China, Russia, Iran, India, or even Turkey, for that matter.
	The West is already obsolete.
	Let me say it again.
	They're already obsolete.
	They just, they don't realize it yet.
	They're still running around the world like a bunch of bullies, like Anthony Blinken and Janet Yellen, making demands of China.
	We demand you stop producing so much stuff because that's unfair trade practices.
	It's like so crazy.
	It would be like if you had a lemonade stand and then you had somebody across the street with a lemonade stand and they were making more lemonade than you and the lemonade was better tasting and cheaper and you march How dare you make lemonade that's in higher quantities, better quality, and less cost?
	That's unfair trade practices.
	We're going to crush your lemonade stand with sanctions.
	That's what the U.S. does to China.
	And China just laughs.
	They're like, this blinking lunatic.
	He's so annoying.
	How do we get him out of here?
	Put him on a plane.
	Ship him out of here.
	Hurry up.
	If he stays here any longer...
	We'll have to harvest his organs or something, you know?
	There's a little bit of that going on in China.
	So Blinken is the perfect clown representative of the decline of the West.
	Blinken, who constantly looks like he's a sad apologist for something, like he wakes up every day, looks in the mirror, and it's like, sad.
	I'm so sorry.
	I'm sorry for my existence.
	I'm sorry for who we are.
	And he runs around the world making demands and sometimes begging and sometimes apologizing.
	So sorry that we are going to have to issue sanctions.
	I guess you're sorry and so sad.
	Can you imagine living life as Anthony Blinken, a pathetic creature?
	I'd rather be a jellyfish because, at least, if you were spineless, you could swim, you know?
	But anyway, sorry to get distracted with the satire.
	I just can't help it.
	These clowns are so insane.
	And, of course, there are proxy clowns like Zelensky, and then there are just, like, space alien clowns like Justin Trudeau.
	We don't even know what planet he's from, right?
	But this is the West.
	The West is obsolete.
	The West doesn't know it yet.
	And they're still running around the world acting like it's 1952 or something.
	Like, we're the world's nuclear superpower and we make the demands and we set the rules and we call it the rules-based order, except it's our rules, not your rules.
	The rules don't apply to us.
	They only apply to you, you know?
	That's the way the U.S. still operates.
	And let me tell you, China...
	It's just laughing at us.
	Russia laughing at us.
	Even Iran laughing at America, especially when America rolls out these tranny space force admiral, you know, morality queen lecturers like we have to use pronouns and emails to win space wars.
	And you know that Russia is probably just playing that video over and over and over again as part of their comedy hour.
	Like, the world's funniest home videos from America.
	Check this out.
	This is insane.
	However, they would say that in Russian.
	Probably laughing their asses off right now.
	Probably playing it in the Russian military training centers where they have their special forces.
	And they're like the huge, hulking, manly man, Russian, you know, trained killers.
	And they're...
	And then watching America be run by drag queens and men who wear wigs and high heels and pantyhose lecturing us about how we're going to be such a strong nation if we just embrace mutilations of children's genitalia.
	Yeah, the whole world is laughing at America.
	And America, sadly, the whole West has become obsolete.
	And it's sad for me to say that.
	That's my moment of sadness.
	I'll have to pretend like I'm Anthony Blinken.
	I'm so sad!
	That's my moment of sadness because I'm an American, and I love the ideals of America, what America was founded on.
	I don't want to see my nation fall, but I'm also an independent-minded American, and I can see reality.
	I can see it around me every day in society.
	I see it in the people at the bank, at the grocery store, I mean, you just go to the grocery store and everybody's buying poison, poison, poison, square-shaped poison, cereal poison, shampoo poison, personal care product poison, milk poison.
	It's just like, wow, you're just literally killing yourself with all the stuff that's in your grocery shopping cart basket there.
	And that's normal across America.
	Everybody's just poisoning themselves.
	And that's when they can afford the food.
	Oftentimes they can't even afford it, you know, because the food inflation is so bad, because the money printing is so insane.
	But I can see it in society.
	I look around.
	It's all breaking down.
	Cognitive loss is widespread.
	People can't even function the way they used to be able to function across America.
	The cities are wrecked.
	I used to drive into Austin, Texas from time to time.
	Last time I went there, I wasn't even on 6th Street, which is a crazy, insane wreck.
	I was...
	I don't even know the street I was on.
	I was driving through some area just to try to get out of the city, and it was like hordes of...
	Drug addicts and homeless people and just scary looking criminal style people and some of them had no teeth and they were all gathered together on certain street corners and there was trash all over the streets.
	There were some mattresses just on the sidewalks and there were some tents under the bridges and people sleeping in the tents and everywhere you drive around Austin, there's despondent people.
	Everywhere.
	And then walking along beside that, there's always some, like, left-wing lunatics with blue hair and nose ring piercings and, like, super faggoty fag man, flaming faggot walking along on the sidewalk.
	And, you know, he's like a child molesting, grooming pervert.
	And you're like, how soon can I get the hell out of this city?
	You know, that's the way you feel when you drive into Austin right now.
	So we don't go into Austin.
	We stay out of the city because the city is collapsing.
	And one of the reasons that the West is collapsing is because nobody bothered to defend morality or just simple family values.
	Nobody bothered to defend it.
	I mean, not enough people, I should say.
	There are some who have tried.
	But by and large, the culture and the people and the politicians, they all just look the other way.
	Oh, we don't care if women enter little girls' restrooms and pervert men change their clothes in the girls' locker room.
	You know, that's equality, they say.
	We don't care if there's men on the women's wrestling team.
	Just let the men just put those women in chokeholds, you know.
	So nobody gave a crap.
	And then America let the 2020 election be stolen by the demon rats, the Democrats, as we say, and then they shut down the energy supply.
	Day one in the White House, the occupier-in-chief, Joe Biden, I'm not sure if they pulled like a weekend at Bernie's and they had somebody moving his hand as he signed the executive orders to shut down the XL pipeline, to shut down energy exploration, to shut down offshore natural gas harvesting, which would have provided cheap abundant energy for America.
	That's one thing that Trump did well.
	Trump wasn't afraid to have domestic energy.
	And that's why the economy was so much better under Trump, you know, at least until he unleashed Operation Warp Speed and mass poison the population with death jabs.
	You know, before that, it was actually going quite well.
	But then Biden comes along and just shuts all that down.
	So America then becomes dependent on energy from the Middle East.
	And now what's happening in the Middle East?
	Well, escalation into the possibility of nuclear war, certainly regional war.
	All of a sudden, America has to spend billions of dollars to put money into the hands of Israel, a genocidal regime of mastermind criminal lunatics like Netanyahu, who are using American weapons to slaughter and exterminate women and children, Palestinian who are using American weapons to slaughter and exterminate women and children, Palestinian women and children, and an occasional But mostly they're exterminating women and children in Gaza using American weapons and American money.
	When we should have said, let's just produce energy domestically and tell Israel to go pound sand.
	Hey Israel, you want to start a war with Iran?
	Great!
	You deal with it.
	That's your problem.
	You want to run around the Middle East punching everybody in the nose and see what happens?
	Go for it.
	But don't make that our problem.
	Let's talk about Netanyahu here for a minute and then we'll get back to the main topic here.
	So by the way, we are now spidering antiwar.com at censored.news.
	So our website is censored.news, where we have news aggregation of all of these heavily censored websites.
	And antiwar.com, which has traditionally tended to be more of a, I would argue, sort of a left-of-center website, but in the age of what's happening with Israel right now, This transcends politics or political parties.
	This is about human rights, human dignity, and antiwar.com is doing a fantastic job exposing the war crimes of Israel and Netanyahu in particular.
	And they have a story, just on the last day, that is shocking.
	Netanyahu says ICC arrest warrant would be an anti-Semitic hate crime.
	Okay, you got that?
	So Netanyahu, who is a murderous, psychopathic war criminal, who is in charge of a horrifying campaign of ethnic cleansing and mass genocide.
	This is a holocaust in the Middle East being carried out by a violent lunatic.
	I mean, we could use a lot more words, but you get the idea.
	He says you can't arrest him.
	He has absolute immunity because he's Jewish.
	Now track this carefully.
	He says if you issue an arrest warrant against him, that's an anti-Semitic hate crime.
	And you probably heard in the past how some diplomats, they would cite that they have diplomatic immunity, right?
	So he claims to be a Jew.
	How would you do that?
	Like a Jew-matic immunity.
	Like automatic Jewish immunity.
	Jew-matic immunity.
	Something like that.
	That's what he claims he has.
	Which should enrage all Jews everywhere because most Jewish people all around the world condemn what Netanyahu is doing.
	And most Jewish people all around the world want to live in a world where the rule of law functions.
	They're not lawless Jews like Netanyahu is.
	But Netanyahu claims Jewmatic immunity.
	Okay?
	So do you realize what he's saying?
	He says the ICC can't issue an arrest warrant against us because that would be anti-Semitic.
	He's saying that if any criminal anywhere wants to have total immunity from being prosecuted for their crimes, all they have to do is convert to Judaism.
	And then you can apparently, according to Netanyahu, you can just go rape people or rob people or carjack people and then just claim, well, you can't arrest me.
	That would be anti-Semitic.
	Because, you know, you can convert to Judaism, right?
	The Jewish faith allows conversions.
	Somebody needs to get a memo to all the carjackers in New Jersey.
	Hey, carjackers, you should just go convert to Judaism and start citing Netanyahu.
	Hey, officer, you can't arrest me.
	That would be anti-Semitic.
	Or just start murdering people.
	Just start, you know, drive-by mass shooting anybody you want, and then just have a big sign on the back of your drive-by van.
	Jumatic immunity.
	You can't arrest us.
	We're with Netanyahu.
	We're the Netanyahu blood crew, you know?
	The Crips and the Bloods and the Ziocons and the Zion-hood.
	Apparently you could do anything you want if you just claim to be sufficiently Jewish, I suppose.
	Again, this whole idea of what Netanyahu is invoking is highly offensive to most Jews.
	And I'm not criticizing most Jews, by the way.
	I'm criticizing Netanyahu for perverting Netanyahu The name of Judaism, for perverting the faith of Judaism, he stands as an abhorrent contradiction of what the Jewish faith actually teaches, by the way.
	He is not Jewish.
	I mean, even the European, quote, Jews that came to the Middle East in 1948 and stole the land from the Palestinians, they're not even the real Jews in the first place, by the way.
	And Netanyahu is certainly not.
	He's not even really Israeli.
	He's an imposter.
	He's an imposter of the Jewish faith.
	He's an imposter.
	And yet, he claims to have absolute immunity, so he doesn't have to subject himself to any court in the world, no matter what he does.
	He can carry out genocide and mass murder.
	No court can hold him accountable, he says.
	And did you know that the United States State Department and the U.S. Congress is now threatening the ICC and telling them, don't you dare issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu, because if you do, we're going to punish you.
	Yeah, I wonder what that's going to look like.
	So, here you have a global criminal who is hiding behind...
	Being Jewish, hiding behind Judaism in order to carry out orders of mass extermination that he says were given to him by God.
	God spoke to him, he says.
	God told him to go forth and slaughter.
	Go out and kill as many Amalek as possible, he says.
	And by that he means the Palestinian people.
	No court can hold him accountable for his crimes because he's got dramatic immunity.
	Now, you wonder why the rest of the world hates the West?
	You know, that's...
	Someone was asking me the other day, like...
	Do you hate Jews or something?
	No.
	Where are you getting that?
	I don't hate Jews at all.
	I hate what people like Netanyahu are doing in the name of the Jewish faith because they're bastardizing it.
	I despise people who are violent, psychopathic murderers.
	And if you want to say, oh, but that's hate!
	You should love everybody!
	Well, sorry, I don't love mass murderers.
	I don't love, you know, pedophiles and child perverts and groomers and child molesters and murderers and people who drop 2,000 pound bombs on women and children in hospitals and universities.
	Sorry, if that's your definition of love, you belong in the plane of hell.
	If you think that's love, you notice how...
	The radical left is always like, everything is love.
	You have to love everything, accept everything.
	It's all about tolerance and love.
	And by that, they mean you have to love, like, demon-horned drag queens showing off their junk to kindergartners.
	You have to love it because it's all about love!
	Right?
	You're supposed to also love Netanyahu's psychopathic mass murder because God told him to do so.
	And some of the Christian Zionists are in on this too.
	They're like, well, we have to let him kill the animals because God told him to.
	You know, it's usually like an old lady.
	God told him to kill all the animals.
	It's like, what God are you listening to?
	You think you're a person of faith?
	You're a person of death.
	Right?
	So, here's a headline that proves this yet again.
	From Middle East Eye.
	Prominent Palestinian doctor tortured and killed in Israeli detention.
	Yeah, this is a Palestinian surgeon.
	He was the head of orthopedic medicine at Al-Shifa Hospital.
	Adnan al-Bursh.
	I think I'm getting his name correct.
	He was killed by torture while in Israeli detention, according to a statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Society.
	The man was only 50 years old.
	He died in the Israeli controlled offer prison in the occupied West Bank on April 19th.
	And his body has been withheld by Israel.
	And another detainee, Ishmael Abdul-Bari Qadr, 33 years old, also died in custody in the His body was handed over.
	Two victims died of torture and crimes committed against Gazan detainees, the statement said.
	So let me tell you what was actually very likely going on here.
	They were torturing this orthopedic surgeon to try to get him to, quote, confess...
	That the Al Shifa hospital was used as a military base by Hamas so that Israel could justify bombing the hospital.
	So what they do is they capture people like doctors and they torture them.
	And who knows what kind of horrifying crimes that consists of, but it's pure evil.
	They try to torture them to get them to sign a confession that they can use for public relations purposes to justify the continued bombing.
	That's how evil Israel has become.
	That's how evil Netanyahu is.
	That's how evil, frankly, 80% of the Israeli population has become because they support this.
	About 80%.
	Now, the Jews outside of Israel do not support this, but the Israelites almost universally support mass torture and mass death and using any means whatsoever in order to justify their mass killing of Palestinians.
	So, again, if you're wondering why everybody, every nation in the world hates the West, this is why.
	Because America stands by and says, we don't have any evidence of crimes against humanity.
	We don't have any evidence of human rights violations.
	What?
	What are you talking about?
	There's no evidence.
	Meanwhile, Israel tortures and murders surgeons who worked in a hospital that Israel bombed.
	See?
	You see why the world is so angry?
	And how dishonest and demonic the West has become.
	So when you hear Russia, by the way, Russian spokespeople like Shoigu, let's say, or Medvedev, speaking about how evil the West has become, like the West has become a demonic death cult, they're not wrong.
	They're not wrong.
	Actually, Medvedev nails it.
	He's probably the most accurate commentator on what the West has become among all the world's national leaders.
	The West has become a satanic death cult of the most horrendous serial killers and war criminals and extermination agenda pushers, liars, deceivers.
	And again, I live in America and And I'm experiencing this in society right now.
	I'm experiencing this from government.
	I'm seeing it in the United States Congress.
	I'm seeing it in the warmongering, the drooling bloodlust among the wealthy conservative Americans who are like licking their lips.
	It's...
	More blood for profit.
	You know, they just can't wait to start more wars and kill more people so they can have more paper money.
	It's all on paper or digital.
	Digital money that doesn't even matter.
	So they can go to the grocery store and buy more toxic poisonous foods and pop a bunch of toxic medications that alter brain function so they can take more vaccine jabs that are lobotomizing all of them.
	I'm watching the decline of this civilization with a front row seat and it's ugly.
	And my message to you today, dear listeners, is it's going to get uglier.
	This process of the ripping apart of Western civilization has only just begun.
	So now, with that said, let me get back to the guest we have today for the interview.
	Again, his name is Fadi Lama.
	L-A-M-A. Fadi Lama.
	A very phonetic name there.
	F-A-D-I-L-A-M-A. So, his crew, years ago, when they were trying to understand supply and demand affecting his business, they launched an internal initiative to try to understand the macroeconomic forces that was reshaping the world.
	And as I understand it, at least as he explained to me, he was able to gather two critical data points from each of the major nations spanning a couple of decades of time.
	Data point number one is energy consumption.
	So all forms of energy, fossil fuels, coal, natural gas, plus solar, what have you.
	Energy consumption.
	Energy consumption.
	Data point number one.
	Data point number two is real GDP. That is actual economic output.
	Now, real GDP is not a number that American politicians have any familiarity with because they're always talking about fake GDP where they count all these pointless services and they count all these financialization production products, real GDP is not a number that American politicians have any familiarity with because they're always And so much of the U.S. economy is what we might politely call the BS economy.
	It's not real.
	It's not producing anything.
	It's just shuffling numbers around on paper to try to create the perception that there's economic activity happening.
	But in reality, not really.
	So what Mr. Lama did is he looked at the real GDP.
	So if you take those two numbers, which is actual energy consumption and real GDP, which is a measure of the economic or industrial output of a country, but it includes agriculture as well.
	Those two points are.
	over time, across all the nations that he studied, they have a 98% Correlation.
	That's R squared correlation, he said.
	So 0.98 R squared.
	So when you're talking about how well the curve fits the data or how strongly correlated the data points are, 98% is a very strong correlation.
	So clearly these two things have a lot to do with each other.
	And what he found is that Western nations, that would be Western Europe and the United States and Canada and so on, have roughly for the last 10 plus years, they have plateaued on energy consumption, if not declined.
	Meanwhile, China, Russia, Iran, and India are skyrocketing.
	I mean, you'll see the chart in the interview, but those countries are skyrocketing in both GDP, i.e. real output, as well as energy consumption.
	So the West is committing energy suicide and economic suicide by shutting down energy, by invoking the climate hoax fraud, which is almost universally believed by the science Almost all the scientists in the West believe that fossil fuels are bad and climate change is bad and we have to shut down energy consumption in order to save the planet.
	But did you notice how the rules that the West tries to adhere to, they never apply to China?
	Or Russia, or Iran, or India, for that matter.
	Have you noticed that?
	So while you're forced to live under a collapsing society where the coal-fired power plants are being shut down, and the natural gas energy exploration is being shut down, and the pipelines are being cancelled, and so on, and the really good energy land is being, you know, confiscated by the federal government, taken away from the states.
	To make sure that you have no energy in the long run.
	This is a stranglehold on Western nations.
	This is like choking the life out of America on purpose.
	This is what the globalists and the Democrats and the neocons are doing in America.
	It's choking the life out of America on purpose.
	And the same thing is happening with Western Europe.
	Because they have to appease the climate lunatics who are just as insane as Netanyahu.
	But ultimately, the climate genocidal lunatics will kill more people than the IDF. Because Israel's bombed to death right now anywhere from 35,000 to 50,000 people, depending on what estimates you believe.
	But the collapse of Western Europe is going to kill millions of people, if not tens of millions.
	The collapse of the United States of America might kill 100 million people, depending on how severe it gets.
	So in other words, the mass genocide of Israel, well that's child's play, compared to the genocide or suicide of the climate cultists, who are shutting down the energy pipelines that power successful civilizations.
	So what Fadi Lama has determined, and you'll see this again in the chart in this upcoming interview, what he has determined is that the future of the world in broad strokes is already very clear.
	It belongs to those countries that are willing to harvest domestic energy and to use energy in order to power their economies, to power agriculture, to power industry, to power expansion, to power their cities, and so on.
	Which countries are those?
	Russia, China, India, Iran, basically the BRICS nations.
	Which countries are doing the opposite of that and thus committing suicide?
	Western countries.
	United States, Canada, Western Europe, and so on and so forth.
	Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan.
	You get the idea.
	So the future is already clear.
	The nations that abandon affordable, abundant energy will suffer economic collapse, which will then set off social collapse, very likely secession or disintegration of those nations and disintegration of entire economies.
	And the fact that the U.S. government, the U.S. military cannot defeat Russia right now, Is the first irrefutable, highly visible piece of evidence proving that the West is obsolete.
	Because with the largest military budget on the planet, The United States of America.
	You know, the military budget is something between $750 billion to a trillion dollars a year.
	Largest military budget on the planet.
	I think it's larger than all the other nations combined, if I'm remembering correctly.
	While the entire military budget of the nation of Russia is something on the order of maybe a little bit over $100 billion.
	So it's, I mean, just for simplicity's sake, let's say that the U.S. military budget is ten times that of Russia.
	Maybe it's only nine times greater, but it's something close to that.
	It's basically America's military budget is one order of magnitude larger than Russia's military budget.
	And yet, American military equipment can't defeat Russia.
	NATO can't even, with the help of America, produce very much in terms of equipment.
	Again, with the highest budget in the world, America can't produce enough artillery shells.
	How is that possible?
	Well, the answer is very clear.
	America shut down its energy.
	It exported its industry.
	It lost its industrial base.
	It lost its work ethic.
	And then America became consumed with corruption and money laundering and fraud to the point where now when the Congress passes, you know, $61 billion for Ukraine, that's probably like 50 billion that goes back into the pockets of the members of Congress.
	Through, you know, money laundering fraud, a few billion goes into the actual weapons production, which will take two to five years to produce.
	Maybe a couple of billion goes to Ukraine, where it's quickly confiscated by Zelensky to buy more beachside mansions somewhere.
	You know, he's got to have an escape route, obviously.
	And other high level Ukrainian leaders who are all on the take and nothing actually gets to the soldiers on the front lines.
	And almost nothing in terms of military equipment gets to the front lines.
	And even the equipment that does make it to the front lines, like the M1 Abrams tanks, it's based on a design that's, what, 30, 40 years old and hasn't been updated with any kind of modern equipment.
	Meanwhile, Russia can take an old T-72 tank that's even older than the Abrams, and they can update a T-72 with thermal optics, AI-powered automatic targeting systems, control systems, and with better training, because the actual Russian soldier is smarter than the average American soldier by far.
	Like, Russians can actually do math, you know, for starters.
	In America, people struggle to calculate a 10% tip for the waiter at a restaurant.
	They can't figure out what is 10% for God's sake, right?
	In Russia, they don't have any problem calculating 10%.
	They do freaking derivatives in their heads there.
	So they've got targeting systems.
	They've got software systems in the tanks.
	So the old Russian T-72 tank is obliterating the Abrams tanks at a fraction of the cost.
	Because the entire Western military system is obsolete.
	The entire doctrine of warfare of the West is obsolete.
	America likes to sail around with aircraft carriers, you know, near the Red Sea.
	And the Houthis in Yemen, they laugh their asses off and they just keep firing rockets.
	They've achieved essentially a naval blockade without even having a Navy.
	And America likes to steam around the oceans with giant floating targets called aircraft carriers and destroyers.
	And, you know, an aircraft carrier has 5,000 sailors on it.
	It's like, wow, 5,000 sailors?
	I hope you have like a supply ship nearby with 5,000 body bags because that's what the aircraft carriers are, is a giant sitting duck in the middle of the ocean just screaming out like, hit me with missiles.
	Iran can take out aircraft carriers.
	Russia can take out aircraft carriers.
	And the U.S., because again, it spent all its time and money on corruption and grift and bribery and fraud, never built defenses against hypersonic missiles.
	The U.S. military never even built hypersonic missiles that worked.
	They tested a few of them and they're like, this doesn't work.
	Yeah, because you hired a bunch of libtard engineers who have blue hair and nose piercings.
	You hired them because they're trannies and they can't do math.
	They're not even qualified to be engineers.
	How do they graduate from the engineering school?
	Well, the engineering school doesn't require tests.
	If you're transgender.
	Oh, because that would be stressful.
	That would be transphobic to require transgenders to take tests at the universities, for God's sake.
	So you have engineers in the military in America who don't even understand engineering, who can't even do math.
	So they're building weapons that don't work.
	This is just another sign of the total collapse of the West.
	In Russia, they make weapons that work.
	And again, I have to keep saying this.
	Don't misunderstand my motivation for saying this.
	I'm not Russian.
	I'm not planning on moving to Russia.
	I'm an American.
	I want America to do well.
	And I'm also a realist, so I have to state the obvious here.
	And my reason for doing so is to try to warn, I mean, maybe there's a chance to turn this country around.
	Maybe.
	I kind of doubt it, but I can't stay silent while I watch this happening.
	And you know what would be a great vision for the future of America?
	Here's an idea.
	I would love to be part of a country called the United States of America, That actually competes with the rest of the world on a level playing field instead of coercing, threatening, bludgeoning the rest of the world.
	I think that the most amazing thing that could happen for our world would be the collapse of the dollar and the rise of an international non-counterfeitable monetary system.
	One that no country can just print into oblivion.
	One that is internationally recognized in settlement trade.
	One that could be used by businesses and governments and individuals.
	So a monetary system, a new global reserve currency, you could say, that could not be weaponized against any nation.
	That's what I would like to see.
	Because if that existed, then America would simply have to compete based on its efficiency, its ideas, its innovation, its industrial output.
	It would have to honestly trade goods with other countries instead of just selling more debt, you know, like a used car salesman.
	You want to buy some more U.S. debt?
	We've got debt for sale!
	You know?
	And there are still some dumbass people around the world that are still buying U.S. debt.
	Those are going to be dumbass broke people soon, by the way.
	But the monetary system I just described, guess what?
	It's being built.
	It's not being built by the West.
	What I just described to you, which is kind of the ideal global monetary system, it's being built by BRICS nations.
	It's the BRICS currency system that's going to be backed by guess who?
	Exactly the same countries that Fadi Lama says are high energy consumers and high output producers.
	Countries like Russia and China and India and Iran.
	And of course Brazil is in with that and South Africa and Saudi Arabia is joining and so on.
	There's going to be like 40 more nations joining the BRICS consortium in the next year or so.
	And every one of those nations has the same goal.
	Seriously, the goal is, how do we get rid of the dollar?
	How do we get the U.S. hegemonic lunatics off our backs?
	How do we say goodbye to Antony Blinken forever?
	How do we say goodbye to, you know, Victoria Nuland and the whole history of the Bushes and the Cheneys and the Obamas and the Madeleine Albrights and, oh my gosh, all the Rumsfelds and all these lunatics, these warmongering lunatics who have just...
	Unleashed terrorism, suffocating terrorism and human rights abuses against the world for generations.
	And what the world has figured out is that the answer to that is to stop using the dollar and let the dollar collapse.
	Folks, this is why I now understand, although I did not have this view even a year ago, I now understand why China, even if China wants to destroy America, let's say, they do not have to attack America to achieve that.
	Not at all.
	Even if Russia wanted to destroy America, Russia does not have to nuke America to do that.
	Iran, same thing.
	Iran wants to destroy Israel.
	It does not have to attack Israel to see Israel's destruction.
	You know what these three countries, all they have to do?
	They just have to roll out the BRICS currency and watch the dollar implode.
	And then America will destroy itself.
	It will consume itself from within, and then Israel is done.
	Without America backing it financially and militarily, Israel is done.
	And when the dollar collapses, understand, even though there will be short-term chaos, there will be a new era of freedom even for the American people.
	Because America can't be free as long as the money can be printed by a rogue government that is weaponizing the debt against the American people.
	You understand that?
	The collapse of the dollar is a necessary event for not only freedom and abundance around the world in terms of world trade, but also for freedom of the American people, freedom from the tyranny of the money printing psychopaths who weaponize all the money they create. freedom from the tyranny of the money printing psychopaths who And they can only create new currency by effectively looting the purchasing power from the American people who have worked to earn it and save it.
	They're being looted every day.
	So the collapse of the dollar will actually be an event to be celebrated around the entire world.
	Because you know who loses when the dollar collapses?
	Not America, by the way.
	Not real America.
	Who loses are the criminal cabal of occupiers who are currently running America illegitimately, who didn't even win elections.
	And, you know, the warmongering bureaucrats, they're not subject to elections anyway.
	They will be defeated.
	But the American people, the everyday people, the small business owner, the garage mechanic, the welder, the farmer, they will be set free because they'll be able to actually earn something and keep what they earn and have that maintained value because after the dollar collapses, there will be screaming demand for honest money.
	And guess who knows that this is coming?
	China knows this is coming.
	How do we know that?
	Because China is buying up crazy amounts of gold.
	China's central bank is purchasing, I don't know how many thousand tons of gold they have at this point, but they keep buying gold.
	Why?
	Because that's what's going to back the new global reserve currency.
	It's going to be backed by probably a basket of commodities, as they say.
	Gold being one of them.
	Perhaps silver.
	Perhaps nickel or copper.
	Perhaps energy.
	Can you imagine a global currency that's backed in part by cubic meters of natural gas?
	I can.
	That makes perfect sense to me.
	Versus the dollar that's backed by nothing but a bunch of crooks and criminals with their empty bullshit promises out of Washington, D.C. That's got zero value to me.
	I would much rather have a currency backed by a cubic meter of natural gas.
	At least I know I can get some energy out of that meter.
	We're backed by a barrel of oil.
	I can use a barrel of oil.
	I can put diesel in my tractor.
	You know, I can drive around the ranch, give food to the donkeys or whatever I'm working on that day.
	I can use diesel.
	I can power a generator with it.
	I can't use empty bullshit promises from Washington, D.C. The dollar's backed by nothing but lies.
	So the U.S. is obsolete.
	The West is obsolete.
	It's committing suicide.
	Again, I don't want to see it, but I'm a realist.
	I can't unsee it.
	This is one of those things that once you have seen it, you can't forget it because it's seared into your consciousness.
	This is happening.
	The West is going to collapse.
	Now the question becomes, what does that collapse look like?
	And it's not going to be easy.
	In fact, I had a thought after this interview today with Fadid Lama.
	For the first time that I can remember, I felt a moment of fear about the coming collapse.
	I felt this wave of fear moving through my consciousness.
	Like, whoa, whoa, how bad is it going to get?
	And I'm extremely well prepared.
	I've been teaching preparedness for over 25 years or so.
	And so when it comes to food and ammunition and emergency medicine, I've got all the bases covered, right?
	But what caused me to experience fear is really imagining the severity and the timeline, how rapid this collapse can happen, catching people off guard who are not ready.
	and what that means for their acts of desperation all across the country, but especially in America's cities where people are weak.
	People are used to the comforts of the West.
	People are used to having everything provided to them at very low cost because the U.S. has been able to export its inflation and print money and trade debt for goods that are imported from other countries, and therefore those goods appear to be relatively inexpensive to the U.S. and therefore those goods appear to be relatively inexpensive to the U.S. consumer who's buying them So that's why you can get a pair of shoes still for $10 at Walmart.
	It's not a great pair of shoes, but it's a pair of shoes.
	The day is coming soon where that pair of shoes is going to be $100 because the currency will be in accelerated collapse, which will make imported goods extremely expensive, including imported energy, by the way.
	And since the U.S. insane leaders have shut down domestic energy harnessing and transportation and production, the U.S. will be partially dependent on energy from the Middle East.
	And with the Houthis there blocking naval traffic and with Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz, you can count on oil going to $300 a barrel.
	Which means that your gas in America, if you can even find it, might be $25 a gallon.
	I don't know.
	It depends on where you are.
	But in California, it might be $30 a gallon.
	And as oil is $300 a barrel, guess who's going to profit from all that?
	Russia!
	Russia!
	Because, I mean, again, this is another example of the idiocy of the Western leaders always trying to punish Russia.
	So they shut down their domestic oil supply, they feed weapons into Israel's hands to wage an escalation of the Middle East war, and this benefits financially Russia, which will be able to sell oil for maybe even discounted at $200 a barrel.
	Which will feed tens of billions of dollars every year into Russia's budget and the taxation of energy of exports out of Russia, which will fully fund Russia's investment in its own domestic infrastructure, industrial output, and military output, making Russia even more effective at defeating the West, which will still be suffering under now sky-high energy prices.
	The evacuation of industry domestically, a workforce that doesn't want to work, and now you're going to have riots, civil unrest across all the cities.
	Plus the, you know, 10-20 million illegals who crossed the wide open border that Congress refuses to defend, and who knows what some of those illegals are going to do, except maybe run around and start stealing everything in sight, or setting fire to it, or sabotaging refineries, for that matter, shutting down power grid substations.
	You know, some of them have sabotage orders.
	Do you see how insane the West has become?
	I mean, it's like, how could you even imagine doing this to yourself?
	Like, on a personal level, if you were trying to do this to yourself, what America is doing, to America as a country, you would have to, like, leap off a tall building while stabbing yourself in the heart on the way down and then shooting yourself in the head and then hitting the ground.
	And it would be like multiple suicides.
	That's what America is doing to itself.
	It's like layers of suicide by the most insane leaders, and frankly a lot of insane voters too, who have no idea what the real world is like.
	They are utterly disconnected from reality.
	And the only voices of reason that understand this, voices like mine in the alternative media, we are the ones who are the informed geopolitical analysts.
	We are the high IQ people who understand the dynamics of what's happening in the world.
	We understand the past, the present, and what's about to happen in the future.
	We can see all of that.
	We are the most censored voices.
	We are deplatformed.
	We are smeared.
	We are defamed because we tell the truth.
	So the truth is banished.
	Only the lies are allowed to be repeated in the West.
	The lies like, oh, the economy is great.
	Inflation is low.
	Joe Biden is the most popular president ever.
	The U.S. military is strong and effective.
	We're winning against Russia.
	You know, like lie after lie after lie.
	And there's a point where the lies end because the system collapses.
	I mean, like, you could have, if there's a guy that's bleeding out on the ground because he was in a knife fight and somebody cut his, you know, carotid artery or something, and he's bleeding out, he can still talk for a while.
	He can say all kinds of, oh, I'm not bleeding out, it's all good, gonna be okay.
	Woo!
	I can make more blood.
	It's all good.
	It's like the Black Knight skit from Monty Python.
	Oh, just scratch, you know.
	But eventually, the guy blabbing like, it's all good.
	It's all good.
	No more blood to the brain.
	The patient is dead.
	And that can happen to nations as well.
	The nation can die.
	And we in America, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but But we are on a suicide path for this nation, the United States of America, because we have been occupied and we are run by a criminal cabal of unelected,
	neocon, power-hungry, mad lunatics who have been dominating the world since the end of World War II. And their time is coming to an end.
	And they can't deal with the reality that they're losing control.
	Well, they've already lost control.
	They're losing control of the global currency.
	They're losing control of military capabilities or competitiveness.
	They're losing control of industry.
	They're losing control of the narrative.
	They can't censor everybody quickly enough.
	They're losing control over the future of the world.
	And when these lunatics are losing control, like a cornered, caged animal, that's when they bare their teeth and go insane.
	Cat scratch fever.
	That's when they lash out.
	And that's when they're dangerous and unpredictable.
	That's when they might carry out nuclear false flag events, like set off a nuke in Ukraine and try to blame Russia for it.
	Or set off a nuke in America and blame Russia.
	You know, that kind of thing.
	That's the scale of desperation at which we now find ourselves.
	This is the most dangerous time in the world, and it's not Russia that has made it dangerous.
	And frankly, at this point, it's not even China that has made it dangerous.
	It's the neocon The rules-based order of the West has made our world the most dangerous time, the most dangerous scenario in our lifetimes.
	That's from the West.
	And the weaponization of the dollar, and the weaponization of information and narratives.
	So that's where we are.
	And I want to thank God for giving me the words to just explain that, because I think I just said that with the best clarity possible.
	And thank you for listening to that.
	Now, we're going to jump into the interview here shortly.
	First, I have a special report.
	It's about Israel, and it's called Israel's Huge Blunder.
	Assaulting free speech in America just awakened mass resistance against Zionism.
	So if the Zionists wanted to be accepted by the world and not hated by everybody, well, they shouldn't assault the First Amendment in America.
	All that's going to cause is more people to question the motives of Zionism, and it's going to make Netanyahu and Israel more despised by right-minded people.
	Who are going to say, how dare you step on our First Amendment rights in America?
	This is America, Netanyahu.
	You don't get to tell us what we're allowed to think or say.
	If we want to make fun of you, we have every right to do so.
	You don't have Jumatic immunity in America.
	Sorry, it doesn't exist, buddy.
	I mean, America is the land of South Park.
	We mock everything on purpose.
	It's a First Amendment tradition.
	Mr.
	Net and Screw You.
	You know, that's what we should name him, actually.
	So that special report coming up.
	Also, a couple of announcements.
	We have a new program that's going to be airing at Brighton University, where we have the free documentaries.
	This one begins airing on May 11th, which is a Saturday.
	It's called Healing Genesis.
	You can register for it right now.
	Just go to brightu.com.
	That's short for Bright Town University.
	It's the word bright and then the letter U, brightu.com.
	And this program was produced by Jonathan Otto.
	And I've interviewed Mr.
	Otto.
	And we've done a great interview.
	We'll be playing that soon, early next week, I would imagine.
	But you can register for the program right now.
	And this features 50 experts.
	This program.
	50 experts in alternative healing, natural medicine, hidden cures, things that you will not learn from a medical school that's run by Big Pharma, or a hospital that gets paid for hospital homicide.
	You'll only learn this kind of information from Brighton University.
	So register there now.
	It's free to watch.
	You also have the option to purchase the program.
	You can purchase it ahead of time if you want, by the way.
	You can purchase the whole program, download it now, watch it now.
	Or you can wait and watch it for free.
	And one episode airs each day beginning May 11th.
	Also, I want to remind you that our new feature film called 17 Miles launches on May 9th, which is next Thursday.
	And that's available at 17milesmovie.com.
	You can watch the trailer there.
	It stars Amy Schaeffert, who I interviewed yesterday.
	You can check out that interview.
	I actually have a cameo appearance in the film, which is kind of funny.
	Michael Yan and Ann Vandersteel and Sheriff Richard Mack are also featured in the film, with more prominent roles, by the way.
	I just did a few seconds, just for fun.
	But anyway, it's called 17 Miles, and again, the website is 17milesmovie.com, and it's a pro-America, pro-faith, pro-humanity movie that deals with human trafficking and the open borders situation.
	So be sure to check out that film.
	And then, finally, I will be speaking at the Exit and Build Land Summit that's produced by John Bush, and that's coming up May 17th through 19th.
	You can watch it for free just by registering at naturalnews.com forward slash landsummit.
	That's all one word.
	Land Summit.
	S-U-M-M-I-T. So naturalnews.com slash land summit.
	Go there and register.
	And I will be giving a brand new exclusive speech during the summit.
	I think you'll find it To be quite intriguing.
	I have some pretty interesting things to announce during that, and a lot of other great speakers there as well, such as Joel Salatin, Rebecca Bush, J.P. Sears is going to be there, the comedian.
	Let's see who we have.
	Derek Brose speaking there.
	I haven't seen Derek in a while.
	That'll be great.
	We've got Molly Englehart of Sovereignty Ranch.
	We've got lots of people here.
	We've got Matt Powers, Hakeem Anwar, Bradley Logan, lots of great people.
	So anyway, check it out.
	That's all.
	Again, naturalnews.com slash land summit.
	And I can't wait to participate in that.
	With that said, let's jump into the special report here today.
	Which is Israel's huge blunder.
	Assaulting free speech in America just awakened mass resistance against Zionism.
	Following that, we'll have the full interview with our special guest today, Fadi Lama.
	If you want to fast forward to that, my special report is about 20 minutes.
	So just skip ahead at 19 or 20 minutes, something like that, and that'll put you right at the interview.
	Alright, thank you for listening today.
	God bless you all, and we'll have more for you over the weekend.
	Well, Israel just made a huge strategic error in leaning on Congress to pass this new Anti-Free Speech Act, the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which is laying the groundwork to criminalize truthful statements, such as stating that certain members of Congress have higher loyalty to Israel than they do the United States.
	A good example of that would be Representative Brian Mast, who showed up on the floor of the US House wearing his IDF military uniform.
	Showing that he's actually loyal to the IDF military, which is in fact engaged in committing acts of genocide.
	So he's advertising his genocidal intent on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
	But if you state that now, you will soon be considered a criminal and you may be arrested and incarcerated in America for stating that.
	Or, by the way, If you state that in history that the Jews tried to kill Jesus...
	Or succeeded, but I mean, they tried to kill him many times.
	Well, oh, you're going to be arrested for that, by the way.
	Or if you disagree with any official narrative surrounding the Holocaust, such as how many ovens were used, how many Jews died.
	I mean, if you're off by one number, you know, if the official narrative is 6 million people and you say, no, it was 5.99999, you're going to be arrested.
	Oh, you're one person short.
	You're a criminal.
	Well, and these are just some examples.
	There are many other examples that are in this new law that was just passed by the House.
	This is so blatantly unconstitutional.
	This is such an assault on the First Amendment, freedom of speech, and the very foundational principles of our constitutional republic, the United States of America.
	That this law cannot stand in America.
	It will be challenged through numerous vectors, but it shows you who rules America.
	The Zionists rule America.
	And by the way, the law says that if you say that, you also could be arrested and you could be considered a criminal just by saying that Jews run anything.
	Yeah, seriously.
	If you say that Jews run Hollywood or Jews run the banks or Jews run real estate or whatever, that's also considered a crime in this bill that was just passed.
	And again, it's laying the groundwork for the mass arrests of anybody who criticizes Israel.
	And now think about it from Netanyahu's A filthy, disgusting, murderous mouth.
	What he is claiming is that just out of the blue, just spontaneously, suddenly all these people hate Jews.
	Just for no reason whatsoever.
	All of a sudden there's anti-Semitism just sprouting up everywhere all across America and there has to be a crackdown on freedom of speech.
	There has to be a crackdown by the government.
	You can't have all this anti-Semitism because it's a threat to democracy.
	Does he not realize...
	That it isn't anti-Semitism.
	It isn't that people like myself, I mean, we don't hate Jews.
	We despise genocide.
	We despise the actions of Netanyahu and his Zionist regime, his cabal of murderous criminals.
	And we don't hold all Jews accountable for his actions.
	And his murderous regime, we want him and Gavir and others to be arrested, to be removed from power.
	We want peace in the region.
	And we don't take offense at people simply being Jewish or being of Jewish faith, right?
	Just as we don't take offense of people being Muslims or being worshippers, followers of Islam or Buddhism or anything.
	We just want the killing and the genocide to stop.
	Stop bombing women and children.
	But now because of this cowardly act by the U.S. Congress, you will be labeled a criminal by merely criticizing Israel's genocide.
	The mass killing of women and children is being excused and covered up by a treasonous United States Congress that is controlled by the Zionists.
	Obviously, they're controlled by the Zionists.
	AIPAC tracker lays out how much money they've all taken from AIPAC, which is an illegal lobbying group that violates lobby reporting laws, by the way, takes money from Israel, money that was given to Israel by the United States Congress, so they launder it right back to bribes to members of Congress and the United States Senate.
	Some senators have received over $1.5 million in bribery money from AIPAC. Oh, but you're not allowed to talk about that.
	That would be a criminal offense to talk about this.
	So, where we are right now is that this is the most vicious...
	Unconstitutional assault on the First Amendment that we have yet seen from our treasonous United States Congress.
	A Congress that in just the last two weeks has passed illegal, warrantless FISA spying on the American people.
	They've passed $61 billion of handouts to Ukraine while they were waving the Ukrainian flag on the floor of the House.
	They passed another $26 billion in funding for Israel because they know some portion of that will be skimmed off, laundered back to themselves, and it'll end up in their own campaign pockets back in the United States Congress, by the way.
	I mean, talk about RICO Act violations.
	This is organized crime, racketeering, international money laundering, and genocide for profit.
	And don't even get me started on the military-industrial complex and how Boeing and Raytheon and all these other companies, they give big campaign donations to Congress to keep causing more wars and keep funding more bombs that are bombing more women and children and innocent civilians in Gaza and other places around the world.
	Causing mass human suffering and death so that they can pocket more money in the military-industrial complex.
	This is like layers of criminal rackets enclosed upon each other.
	And what Israel has just done by pushing the U.S. Congress to pass this anti-Semitism awareness act is they've gone too far.
	They've just crossed the Rubicon.
	They've just pushed the wrong button where conservatives in America, or frankly anybody, even neoclassical liberals, anybody who supports freedom of speech is now going to say, whoa, wait a second.
	This is too far.
	This is too crazy.
	And we're seeing this from members of Congress like Matt Gaetz and Representative Thomas Massey and others who say something like the following.
	They say, look, we oppose antisemitism.
	Let's be clear about that.
	But this law is insane.
	It's unconstitutional.
	It would criminalize people for stating obvious truths.
	And where does it end?
	Because if Congress says right now today, well, it's a crime to criticize any Jew or any Zionist or Israel itself, then what about tomorrow?
	Tomorrow could they say, well, it's a criminal offense to criticize, I don't know, Muslims, black people, white people, Christians, anybody.
	I mean, where does this end?
	It doesn't end.
	It just depends on which party is in charge and who they want to silence.
	And again, the First Amendment clearly states that Congress shall make no law that suppresses or violates the free speech rights of the American people or the right to peacefully protest or the right to freedom of the press or the right to religious expression.
	These are all enumerated in the First Amendment, and they are all under assault by our treasonous United States Congress that objectively has abandoned the interests of the United States of America.
	Almost without exception, there are a few members of Congress, mostly Republicans, who still represent the American people.
	But by and large, nearly all Democrats and the vast majority of Republicans have abandoned America overtly.
	They don't even pretend to represent the interests of the American people.
	They overtly sell us out, fund other countries, fund weapons for Israel, border protection for Ukraine, but no border protection for the United States as we are being invaded.
	And Speaker Johnson is...
	It's a pathetic creature.
	Pathetic, treasonous jellyfish who literally just signed off on passing $3.5 billion of additional funding for the U.S. State Department to set up invasion camps in the Middle East to bring more Muslims to America, to distribute them across American cities.
	Muslims who hate America, by the way.
	A lot of these people are the ones chanting, They hate what America has become.
	They hate the genocide.
	They hate this country.
	They're coming here not to be part of America, but to bring America down.
	And Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, fully supported it.
	He endorsed it.
	And other GOP members are on board with endorsing this wartime invasion of America to bring to America, to incentivize them, to give them debit cards and free housing and free legal representation, to bring them to America, have them overrun and occupy U.S. cities, while the American people are left to rot, just left high and dry, because Congress doesn't give a damn about the American people.
	Now, back to the censorship of any criticism of Israel.
	I was explaining this in a recent tweet.
	Of course, I post on Brighttown.io as well, which is uncensorable because it's a peer-to-peer blockchain-driven platform of free speech with no central servers.
	It can't be taken offline.
	It can't be taken down.
	Servers can't be confiscated because there are no servers.
	So join Brighttown.io for emergency backup communications.
	Now, What I explain is, suppose you live in a town, and suppose there's a serial killer that runs around killing children, just like stabbing children to death on playgrounds and city parks, and killing the mothers too, right?
	This is a horrible serial killer.
	And suppose that this serial killer's name, I mean, just suppose, I don't mean anything by this, but let's just pick a name for this thought experiment, and say his name is Semite.
	So this guy, whose name is Semite, or just Sem for short, he runs around killing children.
	And then the townspeople realize, oh my God, this guy, Semite, is killing little children.
	He's a serial killer.
	And he just won't stop.
	There's like hundreds of children dead all over the playgrounds and in the schools.
	He's running around the hallways of the schools, stabbing kids left and right.
	So the townspeople get together and they call on the mayor and the police force, do something.
	Stop the serial killer from killing all the children.
	And so in response, the mayor and the police declare you to be engaged in anti-Semitic hate speech.
	And they arrest you for hate speech.
	But they do nothing to stop Semite, the child killer.
	So the child killing goes on, right?
	So this tweet, this story, this fictional story, obviously, is Israel in a nutshell.
	This is exactly what Israel is doing.
	They are serial killers of women and children.
	And if you point it out and say, stop the killing of children, then they call you an anti-Semite.
	And they want you arrested.
	Not the people killing the children.
	That's how insane it is.
	Now, it's going to be very interesting.
	To observe what conservative media does and what Christian groups do in response to the passage of this law.
	This is going to be a telling moment.
	You are going to instantly see now with full transparency who is on the side of freedom of speech and the freedom to think and human rights versus who is run by the murderous genocidal Zionist.
	You're going to see it instantly.
	Every conservative media outlet that supports this law is run by the Zionists and is abhorrent to the principles of the United States of America.
	It's probably going to be Breitbart.com, by the way.
	Breitbart is all in with Zionism.
	They're funded by Zionism.
	They don't care anything about actual principles in America.
	That's become clear since October 7th.
	Keep your eyes open.
	Maybe Daily Wire too.
	I don't know.
	We'll see.
	Ben Shapiro all in with the Zionists.
	Mark Levin cheered the passage of this bill.
	Cheered it online.
	He thinks it's great.
	Mark Levin, who for many years has pretended to be a conservative.
	He's not a conservative.
	He's a Zionist who is complicit in the cheering of mass murder and genocide of women and children by the Israeli Zionists.
	That's who Mark Levin is.
	In my opinion.
	Now, but he wants you to go to jail for criticizing Zionism, right?
	So, he doesn't believe in the First Amendment.
	He doesn't believe in the Constitution.
	Every person who ever listened to Mark Levin should denounce him, turn him off, or even, you know, reach out to him, non-violently, of course, but just express to him what a piece of human filth he is.
	Don't make any threats.
	Don't break the law.
	But just give him a piece of your mind in a polite way and tell him what a piece of filth he is.
	Because he's abandoned his principles, he's abandoned his audience, and he's abandoned America.
	He's all in for Zionism and Israel.
	And he wants to use the power of government through coercion and the threat of force to limit what people are allowed to say.
	In order to try to stop genocide.
	Think about that.
	That's Mark Levin.
	And in a similar way, that also appears to be Ben Shapiro and others like him.
	This is extraordinary.
	Now Candace Owens escaped that snake pit of the Ben Shapiro hive.
	Candace Owens is willing to tell the truth about Israel.
	And Candace Owens challenged Ben Shapiro to a public debate.
	And it seemed like they agreed on holding that debate.
	And then, guess what?
	It got canceled.
	You know why it got canceled?
	Because Ben Shapiro's publishing group there is seeking a gag order against Candace Owens under the non-disparagement section of her previous employment agreement with Daily Wire, I believe it is.
	And so they're trying to silence Candace Owens so that Ben Shapiro doesn't have to debate her.
	Because Ben Shapiro is a Zionist coward who can't defend his positions.
	He can't defend his genocidal complicity.
	He can't defend his contradictions against the First Amendment and against America and against human rights.
	And so what do they do?
	They silence Candace Owens.
	See, this is the way Zionists operate.
	They always want to silence you They never want to debate you because they can't win the debates.
	Because their positions are abhorrent.
	The positions of the Zionists, whether we're talking about Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin or all the other Zionists, are irreconcilable with the foundational principles of the United States of America.
	They are irreconcilable with sustainable human civilization.
	And the Zionist weapon is to play the victim, Holocaust, Holocaust, Holocaust.
	Therefore, you can't criticize our modern-day Holocaust against the Palestinians.
	So they're playing the victim card.
	Do you realize that what the Zionists are carrying out is a massive, multi-generational race-hate hoax?
	now claiming that they're still the victims.
	Now, I'm not denying that they were victims of the Holocaust, by the way, although some people are saying that it didn't happen the way that we're told.
	I'm not an expert on that.
	I'm not denying that that happened.
	What I'm saying is that they're still using that from 1941 to try to justify their violence against other people today, claiming that they're always the victims and that anybody who criticizes Israel or Zionism or Jews is engaged in anti-Semitism and it has to be outlawed everywhere around the world.
	Well, they've pushed it too far.
	The backlash begins now.
	And you're going to see this massive sorting out of conservatives and Christians You're going to find out really quickly who actually has principles and who doesn't.
	So on the Christian front, it's going to be very clear.
	Any churches that are still pro-Israel at this point are on the side of Satan.
	Any pastor that's pro-Israel is a Satanist.
	Probably the same people pushing vaccine jabs, by the way, which Israel also pushed very aggressively, even on their own people.
	They committed genocide against their own people with those jabs.
	But any church, any pastor, any religious organization that is pro-Israel is actually working on the side of Satan.
	Because Israel's actions are, again, irreconcilable with the teachings of Christ.
	You can't claim to be a person of Christ and then sit back and say nothing while a nation of Zionists slaughters and exterminates an entire ethnicity, including women and children.
	How dare anybody say that this is consistent with the teachings of Christ?
	And to think that Netanyahu tells himself that God told me to do this, like God gave us permission.
	God grants us immunity from the International Criminal Court.
	These are the kinds of things that he says.
	He's a freaking lunatic.
	Let me see.
	It's a serial killer, runs around killing children, thinks that God talks to him.
	Yeah, we have a name for those people.
	They're called psychiatric patients, by the way, and we lock them up so they can't hurt any other people.
	We need to lock up Netanyahu, and anybody who goes along with him, anybody who is complicit in this genocide needs to be completely rejected or ignored, or if they were directly involved in genocide, they too need to be arrested and prosecuted.
	So this is a watershed moment right now for freedom of speech, freedom of truth, and the freedom to think.
	And if the Zionists get their way, America will be no more.
	America will be destroyed.
	Because you can't have a functioning free nation without the right to speak, especially the right to speak the truth.
	So you either reject Zionism and its call for blatant censorship, or you have no constitutional republic remaining whatsoever.
	And shame on every member of Congress who voted for this bill.
	Shame on every damn one of you.
	And we hope that you are rejected from office, voted out, and shamed throughout history for your complicity with genocide.
	You should be on a wall along with the names of all the Nazis that committed the Holocaust in the 1930s and 40s, by the way.
	Because this is another modern holocaust, and if you are complicit in it, then you deserve to be called out and shamed as well.
	Thank you for listening.
	Mike Adams here, the publisher of naturalnews.com, the founder of brighteon.com, a real American and a champion of free speech.
	I love America's founding principles, and I'm not letting them go without a fight, a legal fight, you know, a fight in the public space of ideas.
	I'm not talking about violence.
	I'm talking about Freedom of speech.
	This is why it's so critical.
	If they silence you, then the genocidal maniacs win.
	We can't let that happen.
	So thank you for listening.
	God bless you all.
	God bless America.
	Take care.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, and I'm the founder of Brighteon.
	And today we have a very special guest for you.
	He's written a fascinating book that shows that he was years ahead in seeing the structural failures of Western civilization, as we would call it today, financial, business, manufacturing, industrial, and so much more.
	His name is Fadi Lama, L-A-M-A, Fadi Lama, and he's the author of this book called Why the West Can't Win, from Bretton Woods to a Multipolar World.
	And there it is on Amazon right there.
	And he's also the author of this Substack page, which is fadilama.substack.com, where he writes occasionally as circumstances warrant.
	So, Mr.
	Fadi Lama, thank you so much for joining me today.
	It's an honor to have you on.
	Thank you very much, Juan.
	Thank you very much.
	Now, your background, as I understand it, is in engineering.
	You're quite an accomplished mechanical engineer.
	So give us a little bit of an introduction of who you are, and how did you go from mechanical engineering to writing this book that analyzes the structural failures of the West?
	Okay.
	Actually...
	I was totally immersed in mechanical design and manufacturing and I set up my own company some 25 years ago, doing testing machinery and automation systems for factories, etc.
	Anyhow, after the financial crash, because our equipment is used basically for the fiberglass pipe sector, And the demand for fiberglass sector depends on governments investing in infrastructure.
	After 2010, this dropped greatly.
	And so our supply to the companies dropped.
	We developed new products, which kind of cover.
	But then in 2017, we lost a lot of money and I had to figure out whether there was a structural change in the global economy or a cyclical change that will pass.
	And so I approached this problem, okay, to understand this.
	And I used the methodology, which I had learned at Georgia Tech, basically, in writing the PhD dissertation.
	Anyhow.
	So, okay, the first thing, you look at the economics, you look at GDP. When we dug into the GDP, it became obvious this is ridiculous, you know, because in Europe, you have drugs, prostitution, and smuggling, okay, Introducing to the GDP. In the US, you have hyperinflated services, okay?
	Yes.
	You have a haircut in New York or you have a haircut in Mexico.
	It's totally different story, okay?
	And financialization, all these derivatives and financial services that add to the GDP but don't produce anything.
	Exactly.
	And a haircut in New York is not better than a haircut in Mexico.
	Right.
	Although it's probably 50 times more expensive.
	Yes.
	Anyhow, so we said we cannot depend on this GDP to understand really what's happening.
	So we did something very interesting.
	We looked at the real GDP. And by real economy, I mean the economy of real goods, tradable goods, which basically includes industry.
	It includes also agriculture, mining, you know, these things.
	And we looked at this over a 40-year period of For all countries in the world.
	This took a lot of work.
	The data is from 1976 to 2016.
	Then we looked at the energy consumption of the world, total energy, gas, biomass, hydroelectric, nuclear, everything, renewables, everything.
	And we found a shocking result.
	There was a 98% correlation.
	R squared was 0.98.
	And R is 0.99.
	What that means is that the variability in the economy is explained by 98% of the variability is explained by the variation in energy.
	So now we have a powerful tool to assess economic performance.
	Wait, so let me just restate that and confirm what you're saying.
	So there's very strong correlation between energy production and consumption versus real GDP output in things that matter that aren't just fictional services and financialization.
	Is that what you're saying?
	100%, exactly.
	So with this tool, because getting the energy data is much easier.
	Actually, BP, until recently, was publishing every year the BP Statistical Yearbook, which gave you the energy consumption, every energy consumption for every country over a historic period of time.
	So this data is readily available.
	Now they stopped it a couple of years ago, but anyhow.
	So now, when you have the energy data, you can very easily realize what the true economy is.
	I'll give you an example today to illustrate this.
	If you measure the GDP of the countries in the Ukraine war, you have Russia facing the whole West, okay?
	The European Union plus the US, okay?
	If you calculate the GDP of these two blocks, the Russian GDP is 1.4%, okay?
	So it's a pushover.
	There's nothing, you know.
	1.4% of the GDP of the facing block.
	But you're talking about the official GDP numbers, the way the West calculates them.
	Yes, yes.
	1.4%.
	It's like you have a 280-pound guy facing a 20-pound guy.
	No!
	Facing a 3-pound guy.
	You know nothing.
	Right.
	So, but now what we realize, what's happening, you know, the industry, the rate they are producing tanks and planes and artillery shells, what is this?
	It's because the GBP's data is budgeted.
	Yes.
	So, you have to throw.
	Once you throw it and you look at the world, you have a totally different picture.
	Okay?
	And then you can understand trends.
	Real trends, not bullshit, excuse my language, no.
	Real trends, so you can comprehend.
	I'm sorry to interject, but let me just jump in here, because I believe one of the key arguments of your research, your conclusions, and your book is that because the West, even though the West may have energy resources that are rather abundant,
	they are choosing to lock them up They're choosing to not access those energy resources, you know, through the whole green climate nonsense agenda, whereas Russia is choosing to tap into its enormous energy resources and then to transform that into industrial output.
	Is that a fair assessment?
	Yes, it's very correct.
	I mention it in the book somewhere.
	Western countries...
	Are not sovereign countries.
	Okay, what do I mean by that?
	If you are, let's say, the head of a family, your concern is to take care of your family, okay?
	In a sovereign country, it's very easy to figure out their policies because the policy adopted by the government or the administration is what is beneficial for the country.
	But the country, what's the country?
	The people, right?
	Okay.
	In the West, the Western nations lost their sovereignty.
	Long time ago.
	Because when you started having privately owned central banks, it means the monetary and financial policy is no longer in the hands of the government.
	Okay?
	Okay.
	If you are the manager, Okay, or the head of the government, and you don't have control over these two.
	What can you do?
	You don't have any real power.
	Okay, so it is, this is what I call in the book, the money power.
	And this has a very long history.
	We're not talking one or two hundred years.
	In the book, it's traced back to a thousand years back to the Venetian Empire.
	Okay, in Venice.
	And so, You lost, for example, the US lost its sovereignty in 1913.
	Actually, the 19th century internal politics in the US was basically the struggle about having a central bank that is privately owned.
	They finally succeeded in 1913.
	So that's why you find decisions which are taken that are contrary to the interest.
	For example, Stopping the XL pipeline project.
	Exactly.
	You understand?
	Yes.
	Okay, this is a decision which was taken to the detriment of the US economy and hence of the US population.
	Well, absolutely.
	I mean, a reminder to our audience, I'm filming this in Texas, right?
	So this is a Texas-based studio.
	And in Texas, at least this is one state that still recognizes the importance of energy resources to the economy.
	But most states, or at least I would say most states, Coastal states or blue states are shutting down energy resources, and that's, as you're arguing here, that is absolutely harming the economy because it raises, well, it increases energy scarcity, so it raises the price of energy, which feeds into the price of food, because food is an expression of energy plus sunlight, essentially, right, and land, and financing, I suppose.
	But then everything becomes more expensive because you don't have energy, And at the same time, by the way, that America, my belief is America, destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines, cutting off Germany from Russia to hammer their energy supply.
	So it's not like, it's more than just that in America we're committing energy suicide, but we're also helping Europe commit energy suicide as well, right?
	Okay, actually, it's not suicide suicide.
	Suicide is when a person kills himself.
	When somebody else kills you, that's murder.
	Homicide.
	Okay, yes.
	Homicide.
	Homicide.
	Okay.
	And the people or the decision was taken.
	Okay.
	We must understand who's running the show.
	Okay.
	It's a small brief historic to kind of explain this, if I may.
	Okay.
	When Europe adopted Christianity, okay, first, the four pillars, okay, of power, let's call them political, ideological, let's say in China, you have the Communist Party, okay, or, and the military and the money.
	Historically, in the, let's say, after 1000, whatever, the second millennium and before, you had monarchs, You had absolute power in the hand of the sovereign.
	When Christianity was adopted, the ideological power was with the church and the political power and the military were with the sovereign.
	Both the church and the sovereign had placed constraints on the money powers.
	Basically, because the church considered usury a crime, And it was illegal, and also the sovereign.
	Okay?
	Although the sovereigns and the popes did, under the table, you know, work with these moneylenders.
	Anyhow.
	The adopted strategy for the money powers was to get rid of the Catholic Church and to get rid of the monarchs.
	And we started having this.
	For example, we had Protestantism, okay, where the Catholic Church was kicked out, and a republic, for example, Holland.
	And then the money powers moved in, and that's when you had Amsterdam, the money center of the world.
	The money powers of Amsterdam, and the first central bank was in Venice, then the second was in Amsterdam, the big, the modern ones.
	Then the money powers in Holland, okay, they financed a Dutch prince, William of Orange, to invade London, depose the king, and take over the power and become King William III, and they call it the Glorious Revolution.
	Right.
	And the Bank of England was set up a few years after that.
	Fine.
	Then France, you also had the color revolution, if you wish, financed by Swiss bankers, Calvinists, okay?
	So, you had destroyed, and here's where democracy comes.
	You destroy the power of the monarch, and you destroy the power of the church, okay?
	And so you put the parliament, but you know, Running for election is money.
	Who has money?
	The money people.
	Okay?
	So, you have, eventually, the money powers control.
	In the U.S., we look, for example, at the medical sector.
	The medical sector in the U.S. today accounts for around 18% of GDP. It's extraordinary.
	Yeah, every dollar you spend, 18 cents goes for the medical sector.
	Fine.
	We dug into the medical sector, We found that it is totally owned by the financial sector.
	Yes.
	The pharmaceutical companies, the insurance companies, the warehouses for distribution, etc.
	Yeah, and let me interject, and I've argued this before, that the medical sector, normally when you talk about GDP, you want to talk about goods and services that improve the quality of life of the people.
	The medical sector mostly, although there are exceptions, mostly harms people.
	It does not, you know, solve these chronic degenerative conditions.
	It creates lifetime revenue by managing people's sickness, keeping them in the system to generate more GDP. That's what we've noticed.
	It's an extractive.
	Instead of being a certain society, it's extractive.
	Let me give you two figures, okay?
	In Cuba, the life expectancy is longer than the U.S., Okay, this is one of the key performance indicators of the medical sector.
	Life expectancy.
	The infant mortality rate in Cuba is lower than the US. Wow.
	So you have the medical sector in Cuba is better than the US. And operated at a fraction of the cost.
	Not a fraction, an infinitesimal fraction.
	In the US, the medical sector is just an extractive mechanism for taking wealth from society to the financial sector.
	That's it.
	Okay, so let's talk about some other examples of this extraction of wealth from the people, and I would argue that the military industrial complex is another one, because they can always scare people into supporting more wars and more conflict, and then all these billions, you know, go to the weapons companies across America.
	Let me tell you this.
	While we were studying this medical sector, we found that the major Shareholders, okay, in the pharmaceuticals, in the insurance, medical insurance corporations, etc., were four companies, four hedge funds.
	Okay, fine.
	Later, we were...
	Doing some research on the coup which happened with the ExxonMobil, because ExxonMobil was the only major who did not conform to the ESG agenda, okay, the net zero agenda.
	And surprise, surprise, we found that the major shareholders of ExxonMobil were the same as those who controlled the medical sector, health sector, healthcare sector.
	So we started digging in and we found that four hedge funds control, have a major share, are the major shareholders in all companies in the US, media, banking, okay?
	All this.
	And these are BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, and Tiro Price.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Well, those names are very familiar to our audience because some of those are the same ones buying up now residential real estate across America, taking possession of the housing.
	I wonder what's behind that move.
	So there's this financial cabal, let's call it, and they've figured out a way to extract wealth from the people.
	But at the same time, you also have this endless currency printing by Western governments, with the U.S. being the worst offender, now reportedly spending a trillion dollars every 100 days, which is, I mean, extraordinary.
	People can't even imagine what is a trillion, number one.
	And then secondly, saying that we're going to commit a trillion dollars to Ukraine over the next 10 years to continue this war against Russia.
	And let's face it, I mean, we know on this show, we know that the U.S. empire, the war against Russia was ultimately designed to topple Russian control, to topple Putin, and then seize the resources of Russia, which is energy.
	Yes, but hang on, hang on.
	This is...
	Okay.
	Now you see the tension rising in the South China Sea.
	Okay?
	With China.
	Yes.
	You see the tension.
	And just a couple days ago, in China, Lincoln threatens China with sanctions.
	Correct?
	Oh my gosh!
	I couldn't stop laughing when he did that.
	Yeah.
	So people say...
	I mean, if there are three main enemies, okay?
	Russia...
	Okay, Russia, Russia.
	And in East Asia, we have China.
	And in Southwest Asia, we have Iran.
	Yes.
	If I want to attack them, I would attack them one at a time.
	I'd be totally crazy to attack three at the same time.
	It doesn't make sense.
	Right.
	A lot of things that have happened and are happening absolutely don't make any sense.
	There's no chance that Ukraine can win over Russia.
	There's no chance.
	That's right.
	Why this war?
	Why this tension with China?
	It doesn't make sense.
	So, in the research, what I found when I looked at the real economy, I found that by 2017 China overtook the U.S. Hang on, let me try and get this curve.
	Just give me a second, please.
	Sure, yeah.
	I'll just remind the audience, while you're looking at that, the book is called Why the West Can't Win.
	It's available at Amazon and other booksellers.
	Why the West Can't Win, From Bretton Woods to a Multipolar World.
	The author, our guest today, is Fadi Lama, L-A-M-A. And I have purchased this book.
	I have not read it yet, but I'm going to.
	This is our first time talking with Mr.
	Llama here today, and it's already quite intriguing.
	Have you found what you were looking for?
	Yes.
	Okay, let me try and share it.
	Oh, I'm looking at it.
	A reliable economic indicator, energy, electricity generation.
	Oh, I see.
	USA, G7, China, and RIC. Yeah, I'm looking at it.
	We'll get it on the screen here.
	There we go.
	Okay, we've got it.
	Go ahead.
	This is the real economy, measured by electricity generation in terawatt hours.
	In 1991, the G7 were more than three times greater than the RIC, which is Russia, Iran, China.
	Got it.
	In 2000, you know the Chinese side.
	This is a very important data point, Mark.
	In 2007, The G7 economies peaked, and since then, they have been dropping slowly.
	Actually, between 2020 and 2007, there was a 6% drop in actual economies of the G7 countries.
	Now, in the book, we discuss the highly unequal wealth distribution.
	So, the actual impoverishment of the majority of the people is greater than 6%.
	Plus, you had the growth in the population in G7 of 6%.
	You had the net 12% impoverishment.
	Okay?
	Then, the other factor, 2011, China overtakes the US. 2017, the RIC overtakes the G7. Wow.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	That's something.
	People are aware about this, but the Ukraine war has shown.
	And the Iranian strike a couple of weeks ago also showed the real capabilities.
	Yes.
	In 2020, Chinese economy overtook the G7 altogether.
	Okay?
	Now, by far.
	So, actually, recent data which I got...
	A few weeks ago, the U.S. real economy is 17% of China, which is just under...
	Oh, what?
	17, 1, 7?
	Yes, 17%.
	Okay.
	Less than one-fifth.
	The U.S. economy is less than one-fifth the real economy of China.
	And I explain this in a small memo.
	And I give you an example, and we go back to the military-industrial complex.
	China uses in industry, okay, the US uses in industry, 17% of the electric power that China uses.
	Okay?
	Now, as you know, one of the leading industrial sectors in the US is the military-industrial complex.
	Yes.
	Okay?
	About two months ago, There was a face-off between an M1A Brands and a T-72 Russian tank.
	Which isn't even their most modern tank.
	I mean, those tanks are from the 1980s, I think.
	It's a 1972 Soviet model.
	Oh, from the 70s.
	Okay, excuse me.
	Yeah, even older than I... Right, right.
	Okay.
	72.
	72, okay.
	Yeah.
	With a single shot, the T-72 destroyed the M1A brands.
	The cost of the M1A brands is around $10 million.
	The cost of the T-72 It's under 1.5 million.
	So you have your factor of 7 there.
	When you produce M1 Abramstein, you say the industrial sector produced $10 million.
	When you produce a T-72, There's another great example of this, that if you look at the price of artillery, 155 artillery or similar.
	In Russia, as I understand, they can produce one round of artillery, common round, for about $600 U.S. dollars equivalent.
	In the U.S., that round is at least $6,000.
	And I think you mentioned Iran earlier, similar things.
	So Iran launches drones that cost maybe $10,000 or $20,000 each.
	And then Israel, using American weapons, fires...
	$3 million interceptors to destroy $20,000 drones and then Israel claims they won.
	No!
	Iran won that.
	Iran just depleted billions of dollars of your anti-air defense systems.
	Ah, my God.
	Okay, good.
	Now, okay, let us jump.
	I'll jump, and I'll...
	Okay.
	Here, you could already see that the gap Is widening and it's irreversible.
	You have a declining curve of the G7 and you have an increasing curve of the rig.
	So this is fact number one.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	The pillars of the empire are the main pillars are three.
	I call them the Bretton Woods Institution or what you would say the global financial sector.
	The Fed, the World Bank, the IMF, the commodity exchanges, okay?
	All this stuff, these institutions, the rating agencies, these are very important, etc.
	So this is one pillar.
	The second pillar I call it is the virtual reality.
	And I explain the importance of the virtual reality.
	And the third is the military.
	So, in the economic sector, The gap is becoming very wide.
	And since 2014, the RIC have been imposing, for example, the war on Syria, the intervention of Iran and Russia and Hezbollah prevented the toppling of the Syrian government by all these Islamist hordes, which were collected from all over the world.
	The RIC were expanding.
	For example, in Venezuela, when there were sanctions and they had a gasoline crisis, whatever, Iran sent them tankers full of gasoline and helped them repair some of their refineries so they could generate their own gasoline.
	Okay.
	So the footprint of the RIC was becoming greater.
	The Empire, or the money powers, they want total control, and they have been working for this, towards this.
	They could see that this is failing, and the military, I would just mention here, their plan, if you wish, was spelled out in Brzezinski's grand chessboard, and the idea was controlling the energy reserves Of what he calls the Caspian Sea Basin, okay?
	Which is Southwest Asia and specifically Iran.
	I'm sure you know when this Clark, Wesley Clark, mentioned the seven nations, we're going to take out seven nations.
	That's right.
	Yeah, these were the nations that were in this, basically, these were the target.
	Yes, right.
	Afghanistan, Syria, Libya.
	I forgot the entire, but Iran was one of them.
	Iraq, Syria, Libya.
	Eventually, the last one would be Iran.
	That's the big prize.
	Right.
	Iran comes number two after Venezuela in total oil plus gas reserves.
	Russia is number three, huh?
	Anyhow.
	So, they started with the direct military intervention.
	This failed.
	Then they came with the proxy war with these headchoppers, you know.
	And this also failed.
	Okay?
	What people don't know is that in Iraq, okay, there were more military deaths than the Vietnam War.
	Are you aware of that?
	No.
	No.
	Wow.
	It's explained in the book.
	It's over 73,000 By the end of March 2007, from the Veterans Administration Report, which is corroborated with the Conference on the Cost of Wars,
	which was done at Kennedy School in Harvard a couple of years later, a few years later, where the total veterans requiring disability were around 50% 5% of 2.5 million.
	The data and the references are all in the book, okay?
	Okay.
	They covered this up, the number of reporting, by dividing the deaths into categories in Vietnam.
	Wait, dividing the deaths into what?
	Categories, categories, different categories.
	I will explain.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	Categories.
	Categories, correct.
	Sorry, no, I don't mean to be rude.
	I just want our audience to understand.
	Yeah.
	Categories.
	Correct me whenever you find necessary, please.
	My apologies.
	Go ahead.
	In the Vietnam War, if you go to Vietnam and you're dead there, then you're considered dead, okay, in the war.
	In the Gulf, They made a new category, or category, which is ERA, which is undeployed.
	And then they had another category, death in theater.
	Let me explain this.
	Let's say we're 10 guys, and a missile comes and hits me, and I'm pulverized.
	And the other guys, one guy has his head chopped off, another is cut into two or whatever.
	They can throw these guys into an ambulance or a helicopter ambulance, and I'm pulverized.
	They consider me only the only guy dead in the theater.
	The other guys, they died while not deployed.
	They died in the hospital, or they died in the hospital, or whatever.
	So they use this to minimize the casualties reporting.
	It's like creation of NROM. Do you understand?
	Yeah.
	And the other thing they did, they did not, for example, if you check the number of cemeteries in, let's say, Virginia Memorial Cemetery, it didn't increase.
	What they were doing?
	They were incinerating the bodies and throwing them in a landfill.
	And then, yeah, one lady, her husband is in the Air Force.
	She knew that the corpse of her husband had reached the Veterans Administration Hospital where they processed.
	And she wanted the body.
	And she stayed for more than a year asking for the body.
	And then the guy, or even, you know, the ashes.
	Then a guy felt sorry for her.
	He told her, we throw him in a landfill.
	And this woman went historical, and then the Air Force said, yeah, we stopped this procedure.
	Now we give them Barrier Let's See.
	What's Barrier Let's See?
	It means they throw the corpses into the ocean.
	Right, right.
	Total disregard for the servicemen and women who sacrificed their life.
	Of course, yeah, and a total cover-up of the actual casualties.
	And that's how they hide the actual numbers.
	They tell you 3,000, 4,000, these are what they consider dead in the theater.
	Actually, what brought my attention to this was a guy, I forget his name, but his list is definitely the reference in the book.
	He explains all this stuff, you know.
	And he gave a link to the Veterans Administration Report, which was issued May 2007 and covered the period until the end of March 2007.
	Anyhow, the point was, you have lost the economic war, you have lost the military war, and the credibility Of the virtual reality created by the media has been shaken.
	For example, look at you here.
	What we're talking here cannot be seen on the mainstream media.
	That's right.
	This couldn't have been possible before the age of the internet.
	Yeah, well, exactly.
	And that's why they're so viciously censoring and deplatforming shows like this.
	And so we had to build our own platforms because we're good at software engineering, by the way.
	So...
	To your point, they can't control the narrative any longer.
	Yeah, it has weakened.
	They still have power, but it's weakening.
	Yes.
	And Brzezinski, he called it the global awakening.
	And in a discussion with Chatham House, which you can find on YouTube, okay, the link is also in the book and reference, he states this.
	He says...
	It used to be easier to control one million people than kill one million people.
	Now, it is easier to kill one million people than control one million people.
	Yes, absolutely.
	And we're actually seeing that playing out with Israel at the moment, too, by the way.
	I mean, in a horrifying way.
	The pillars of power have been weakened.
	So, this is the key point.
	In 2014, they decided...
	Okay, we cannot anymore shoot for controlling the world.
	Let us split the world into two.
	Okay?
	A region where we have total control separated totally from another region where the rig have power.
	So what the nonsense we are witnessing can only be understood by this policy.
	The idea of friction with China, the ideology, okay, the ideology of the Cold War was communist versus democracy, private property, no private property, atheists versus believers in God, etc.
	Now, the ideology is Russophobia, Sinophobia, and Islamo or Iranophobia.
	And they are working on this.
	The China, the Russia war is to develop, you know, the Russophobia.
	These things with China, there won't be any war with China.
	It's only to develop the xenophobia.
	Okay?
	With Blinken's visit to China also trying to divide, trying to separate China and Russia, demanding that China, for example, stop selling products to Russia.
	And I think the most hilarious part of that visit was when, well, Yellen first, and then Antony Blinken, accusing China of unfair trade practices with excessive production.
	So if you outproduce the West, that's unfair, is what Blinken is arguing.
	And how dare you export to countries that we don't like?
	And why is it that the West doesn't realize that they've already lost?
	I mean, Blinken's still running around like a bully, like he can just direct the whole world to obey.
	The way...
	It is these money powers who run the West.
	West, you think, for example, that this guy shows his guy is working for Germany.
	The guy's a puppet.
	Yes, clearly.
	Or this Macron, or this guy Sunak.
	Nothing.
	Giorgio Meloni.
	You understand?
	These are mere puppets.
	Okay?
	Yes.
	The objective now, okay, if I, let's say, We are competing, okay?
	And I don't know, let's say motorcycle racing.
	And you consistently beat me.
	I say, okay, forget that.
	I'll have another group where I'm the winner all the time.
	That's the idea.
	Their power is eroding for the first time in history since, okay, the first time in 1,000 years.
	They no longer have control of the dominant military power.
	That's right.
	And Iran just demonstrated that decisively just weeks ago, and also over the last two years, Russia has decisively demonstrated what happens when you have superior domestic supply chains, superior domestic industry and manufacturing based on affordable energy, You can out-compete the entire NATO countries in terms of output.
	It's even shocking to me to see the U.S. Congress pass all this money for Ukraine, and then they say, but most of it's going to the U.S. to make weapons, and you ask the question, well, how long will it take to make those weapons?
	Ah, like three years, maybe.
	What are you talking about?
	This thing's done before three years.
	Just a small thing.
	The book It was published in 2023.
	The research was basically done and completed by 2022, end of 2022.
	This event, which happened on May 13-14 in Iran launching its attack, As you said, it was evidence, you know, the power of Iran.
	Actually, the power was already displayed in 2020, January 2020, when they hit the Assad Air Base.
	And I explained in detail that attack.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	And I call it end of empire.
	And the publisher said, no, this is too strong a statement.
	Let's talk in detail why it's end of empire.
	There were images made on whether or not these missiles that Iran used were precision-guided or not.
	And it was like the probability of 98.3% or whatever that they are precision-guided.
	Another pixel analysis was done by another researcher and he came to the conclusion That the circular error probability, the CEP, was around 10 meters.
	This is how you measure the accuracy of missiles.
	It's like hitting Atari.
	Right, but if it's only plus or minus 10 meters, I mean, that's very accurate.
	Yeah, what does this mean?
	If you look at an aircraft carrier, The Gerald Ford class you have, and the more recent one is Nimitz.
	They're basically the same size.
	Nimitz is about 76 meters wide, 77 instead of 76 meters.
	So basically you have a target of 76 meters width, And you're going to hit it with a missile that has a circular error probability of 10 meters.
	Right.
	So 90% probability of hitting.
	Fine.
	If you launch two missiles, the probability of...
	Is 99%?
	Yeah, exactly.
	99% of one of them hitting.
	Yes.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And if you go to three, it becomes how much?
	99.9%.
	Yeah.
	And the Iranians had given a three and a half hour advance warning before hitting the base.
	Okay?
	In war, they will not give an advance warning.
	That's right.
	So what this has, it has transformed the aircraft carrier from a platform for projecting power into a platform where you have hostages.
	And similarly for the fixed bases, because the fixed bases are an even much easier target than aircraft carriers.
	So, at that instant, it was clear that the U.S., the empire, could no longer project power.
	If you cannot project power, you're no longer an empire.
	So this analysis was done.
	What happened on April 13 was absolutely no surprise for me.
	And may I add that what the Houthis have done with their, essentially a naval blockade without even having a navy, is a further demonstration of the obsolescence of U.S. naval dominance for the region.
	I think it was...
	I think it was Larry Johnson who made this statement.
	We've interviewed Larry Johnson here, yes.
	Yeah, I like that.
	I follow, really, this guy.
	He said that the U.S. is like fighting in the Second World War with the cavalry.
	War has changed.
	The whole weapon systems have changed.
	War has changed.
	The methodology adopted by the West has not changed.
	They're still with the same procedure.
	We bomb the smithereens out, then when we destroy everything, then our tanks roll.
	It doesn't work anymore.
	You have the missiles, you have aerial defense, you have underground storage for weapon systems in all the Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas access, you know, all this access.
	So, it doesn't work.
	So, similarly for the Houthis.
	So, another number which is funny.
	Do you know that the gross domestic product of Yemen, all Yemen, everything, the services sector, the hair cutter, the doctor, everything, is around, the number is 25 billion.
	The budget for the US Navy is over 330 billion, which is more than 10 times the GDP of Yemen.
	And still they could not keep this critical See lane of communication open.
	That's extraordinary.
	Yeah, that's an extraordinary comparison.
	Because you must use your brain.
	This is like getting the cavalry.
	I'm finished.
	The days of the cavalry are over.
	Well, right.
	I mean, this reminds me of the history of the invention of the rifle.
	So when you had mass production of the rifle, right, the nature of warfare changed.
	Power became decentralized.
	The king with the armored knight was no longer immune to being, you know, defeated and shot.
	Exactly, yeah.
	Now it's drones.
	Now it's underwater drones or airborne drones.
	Soon it's going to be like mass-produced, decentralized, robotic, exploding dogs or whatever.
	It's changing.
	And you must adapt your war doctrine and strategy to the changing weapon systems, you know.
	That's right.
	Which is not happening.
	They're still in the same thing.
	We get the bombs.
	Look in Palestine.
	The Israelis are bombing, bombing, bombing.
	They are killing civilians.
	And because the population there is mostly children, so it's mostly children and women who are dying.
	That's right.
	I can tell you, based on Alistair Crook, you know, Alistair Crook was with MI6, less than 10% Are the casualties of Hamas and the other factions of the Palestinian resistance.
	Yes, clearly.
	And what are they achieving?
	Militarily nothing.
	They have entered North Gaza and then the resistance attacked them.
	They popped from underground.
	They have caused a lot of casualties.
	Then the Israelis retreat.
	Central Gaza.
	Now they're threatening Rafah.
	The Palestinian resistance is saying, okay, come, attack Rafah.
	What difference will it be from North Gaza or Central Gaza?
	They can do nothing.
	They have 500,000 soldiers mobilized.
	Hamas and all the resistance, nobody knows the exact number, but it's definitely less than 80,000.
	Facing 500,000 with multi-billion annual budget of weapons.
	Right.
	Right.
	The rules of warfare have changed.
	Mr.
	Lama, we are almost out of time here today.
	I want to be sure.
	First of all, this has been a fascinating conversation.
	I hope we get to do it again.
	I want to mention your book again, Why the West Can't Win.
	It's available now on Amazon and other booksellers.
	In addition, I want to bring attention to your Substack page, which is fadilama.substack.com.
	And just one last question.
	I've been really wanting to ask you this.
	So how does this, how do you explain, and maybe we'll have to cover this next time we talk, but the West using the climate change agenda to crush energy production, how do they not know that this is self-destruction, or is that their goal?
	I can say very quickly.
	They are working now, we are in progress, since end of 2014.
	They are working on four crises which will grow together.
	Energy crisis, food crisis, monetary crisis, and economic crisis.
	Okay?
	And if you notice, the cost of agricultural products has gone a lot during the last couple of years.
	The interest rate policy adopted by the Fed is catastrophic for the American economy.
	And it also has an impact because when the Fed increases rate, the rates increase all over the world because the three rating agencies put U.S. debt as number one.
	So all the interest rates in the rest of the world.
	What this is doing, this is to cause major bankruptcies in global South nations.
	So they go running to the IMF and the World Bank.
	So they catch them within the Western realm.
	So this is the idea.
	You are collateral damage in the West.
	Right.
	We're expendable.
	Yes, exactly.
	But the money powers don't care at all.
	No.
	It's power.
	And the power is not for money.
	Money is for simple people, you know, power.
	For the money powers, they print the money so they don't care.
	It is having power over people.
	Over a human being, over humanity.
	That's the objective.
	If I can't have all of humanity, okay, let me carve my part of the world, which is mine, and I have no competition.
	Right.
	Well, this has been a fascinating introduction to your work, and I hope we get a chance to talk again.
	You will get a very strong feedback and a lot of great comments from this video and some action on your book as well.
	I just want to thank you for spending your time with us today.
	I thank you.
	I thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	Well, yeah, no, thank you.
	And let me just conclude this by saying to anybody watching, especially those of you from, you know, the deep state and the FBI, whatever, look, I'm an American, I'm a Texan.
	I want America to succeed.
	And this is why I'm working to bring attention to this suicide path that our country has been placed upon.
	And I want Texas to succeed.
	And I want us to have affordable food.
	I want us to have safe families.
	I want us to compete with the world in honest trade through innovation, entrepreneurship, and competition rather than coercion and threatening and economic sanctions and weaponization of the dollar.
	So by having this interview today, I'm not anti-American.
	I am pro-America, but I believe in the principles of free competition.
	And I believe that if the American spirit can be supported and allowed to flourish, we can compete.
	We have a role to play in this world without being the bullies of the world.
	That's my position.
	So thank you so much, Mr.
	Fadi Lama, for your time here today.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay.
	Take care.
	Have a wonderful day.
	Thank you.
	Bye-bye.
	All right.
	Goodbye.
	Folks, just a fascinating conversation there.
	Thank you for watching today.
	Of course, you can repost this interview on other channels and platforms as well.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com, and thank you for watching today.
	God bless you all.
	Take care.
	Alright, let's talk about some solutions for preparedness and survival based on what's happening in the world.
	Things are getting completely out of control, as you know.
	And some of these are sponsors, some of these are free.
	I'm going to give you some free tools here as well.
	First thing, show the camera on my desk here.
	This is all collapsed currency from all over the world.
	Trillions of dollars.
	Dollars worth of collapsed currency and then here's fake Hollywood currency of $100 bills.
	This is all going to zero.
	I mean, some of this is already zero.
	But even dollars are going to zero.
	This is the solution.
	These are called goldbacks.
	This is a 50 goldback bill.
	It's 51 thousandths of an ounce of gold is embedded in the bill.
	And that's why it's so thick.
	And they have smaller denominations like the one goldback here.
	I could hold it right side up.
	This is one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold, and we've done the laboratory testing, and you can find it at our affiliate website called verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	If you want real, physical gold that's highly divisible and has high utility, this is the solution, verifiedgoldbacks.com, and if you scroll through here, you can see all of our lab testing that we did.
	We actually melted them down, and we did all kinds of tests for the purity, And the mass of the gold that's in these bills.
	And check out the different designs here.
	Let's see if we can show that.
	You've got different designs of different amounts of gold that are embedded in the bills.
	There's a 50 that I showed you, and then there's a 25, a 5, a 10, and 1s as well.
	Really an amazing solution.
	Now, other things to keep in mind.
	We've got storable food right now at HealthRangerStore.com.
	I've got some on my desk here showing you also the IOSAT iodine, the potassium iodide, excuse me, prevention of the radiation damage to your thyroid.
	That's all FDA approved there, the IOSAT product.
	We've also got dietary supplement iodine there as well as the We've got the heavy cream, all certified organic, laboratory tested, back in stock, plus the red miso, the yellow miso, and white cheddar cheese powder, which is just pure organic cheddar cheese.
	No fillers, no colors, no garbage in it of any kind.
	You can find all of that at healthrangerstore.com.
	Now, continuing with our topic of preparedness, our sponsor in the satellite phone space is the Satellite Phone Store.
	You can find them at sat123.com.
	Connects you here to the Satellite Phone Store.
	And these are emergency backup comms devices that work even if the cell towers go down or if the power grid goes down.
	And they have packages with the bivvy sticks, with Faraday bags, and pre-installed software on a mobile device that protects your privacy because it doesn't talk to the cell towers.
	It just talks through the satellites.
	You can send and receive text messages, and you can let people know you're okay, or you can have emergency contacts that are successful through that mechanism.
	Here's something that I don't talk about enough, but there's a company called shieldarms.com that has a new product, which is the S10 Grip Chop.
	As you can see here, this is a chopped-off grip.
	Of a Glock 43X. Now, show camera one.
	This is my Glock 43X right here.
	That's how I get on camera.
	And so as you can see, the magwell, you know, this is a pretty long designation right here.
	You know, it can stick out if you're trying to do concealed carry.
	But if you go to shieldarms.com, they have their Grip Chop S10 firearm, which is available right now.
	And it's a shorter...
	It's a grip that allows it to be more easily concealed, but yet it takes full-size magazines.
	And then Shield Arms has their custom steel mags.
	Actually, that's what I've got right here.
	This is the Shield Arms magazine.
	It's vastly superior to clock mags.
	It holds more rounds.
	And it's more durable.
	So this is the best setup.
	You can get these mags and you can get these grip chop pistols at shieldarms.com.
	Of course, all federal laws apply.
	You have to transfer through an FFL and so on.
	You know, obey your local and national laws in order to do this.
	But this allows you to be ultra-concealable in carrying this outstanding firearm, the Glock 43X. And I think you can use discount code Ranger there to save 10% off that firearm.
	They may still have that code active.
	I'm not entirely sure.
	Now, continuing with some more preparedness items, right here, brighteon.ai.
	This is our free downloadable artificial intelligence language model.
	We are training this on an extensive amount of information on food, herbs, nutrition, off-grid living, but also survival and preparedness.
	It's non-commercial, it's open source, it's free to use.
	You just enter your email address here, click register, and you'll be given access to a download page, and we're releasing new models all the time, including a 7 billion parameter model that is trained on all of this survival and prepping and nutrition content.
	Nobody else in the world has models like this.
	In addition, we have a backup comms social media platform that we've just launched called Brighteon.io.
	And if you go to that website, brighttown.io, you can sign up.
	You can see that it's a big social media type of site.
	The thing is, see, it's got free speech videos.
	Here's a flat earth video.
	That's pretty funny.
	There's all kinds of videos here, all kinds of different viewpoints and opinions.
	Here's Dave Hodges here with a video.
	You can go there and you can share videos and content and there are no central servers.
	It's all peer-to-peer, decentralized, and it runs on blockchain.
	And it has its own blockchain coin here, actually, called Pcoin, which is modeled after Bitcoin, and it's kind of a reputation coin on the platform.
	Anyway, you can find out about that.
	Just go to brighttown.io.
	If you download the app and run it, then this will even survive the internet kill switch because it doesn't need to resolve domain names in order to function.
	So that's brighttown.io.
	And then, in terms of products that we have, guess what?
	We also have the knives that we've custom designed with Dawson knives here.
	This is one of our combat knives, and they're made with magna-cut steel, incredibly durable, high Rockwell hardness, they're flexible without shattering, they hold an edge, and they're almost corrosion-proof.
	That's the advantage of MagnaCut steel.
	So yeah, if you see this, this is a G10 handle with an oversized finger guard here.
	This is a really incredible knife.
	And because it's got three holes here, show camera one, let me show you this.
	Because it's got these three holes...
	See if I can get the light just right.
	Yeah.
	It's got this hole, this hole, and then this hole.
	You can use paracord and you can strap it to a stick and make a spear out of it.
	So this can be made into a spear relatively easily.
	We've got multiple knives from Dawson.
	That, of course, I'm the co-designer, and it's got a special wedge end here as well for escape and evasion.
	We are out of the escape from L.A. knife, but we do have this Tonto version that we're working on right now that we may come out with, and then we've got some other really amazing...
	This is...
	Oh, that's another one of our combat knives, but we've got a bushcrafting knife as well that you can check out.
	Find all that at healthrangerstore.com.
	Bottom line, folks, we have a lot of preparedness solutions for you.
	Some of them are free, like brighttown.ai or brighttown.io, or you can use Brighttown Social or just brighttown.com.
	And then some of them, of course, cost money.
	Like if you're going to get your hands on gold, you know, it's going to cost you.
	You're going to pay for the gold.
	You're going to...
	Not everything is going to be free, obviously.
	So iodine, storable food, weapons of self-defense to defend and protect innocent life, these are the kinds of things that we are advocating very strongly right now at this time in history because of what's happening in the world, what's happening with the open borders, where we are domestically, with chaos and lawlessness getting worse in most cities across America, more illegals invading more states and counties.
	So be ready to defend yourself.
	And then, of course, the collapse of the dollar coming as well.
	It's accelerating every day.
	You're seeing it with food inflation.
	And look at the cost of your car insurance, by the way.
	Look at that.
	It's skyrocketing.
	Health insurance, it's all skyrocketing.
	Things are getting more expensive because your dollar is worth less and less.
	Meanwhile, gold is absolutely skyrocketing.
	In fact, let me just bring up where gold is right now.
	23.84.
	Show my screen.
	I want to show the trend here.
	If you look at gold prices here, just over, what does that go back to?
	Like the end of October last year, gold was $1,837.
	Now, now it's almost $2,400.
	Look at that rise right there.
	Gold is skyrocketing in dollars because dollars are losing value.
	So people who are smart, who want to maintain their value of gold and silver, Well, it's doing exactly what it's designed to do, to hold value.
	Oh, I should mention, by the way, if you go to metalswithmike.com, this is our gold and silver coin sponsor, Treasure Island Company.
	And you go there and you can request to talk with them or you can check their real-time prices right here.
	They'll give you the price quotes here.

	Real-time pricing online.
	And they have discreet, secure, guaranteed delivery, insured.
