	Okay, welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Wednesday, May 8th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	We are building the infrastructure of human freedom together.
	And, in fact, I got started really late recording this because I've been toying around with a new language model that we have been training.
	And we've been training the new Microsoft 5.3 model on the Truth About Cancer content.
	It's really fascinating.
	It's a very small model.
	It's only, I think, 3.8 billion parameters, which is considered small.
	And we're not releasing this model publicly.
	We're doing this for Ty and Charlene Bollinger because they contributed their Truth About Cancer content for training our larger models.
	So as a result, I promised them I would train this one model for them just on their information and give it back to them as a research tool, which I'm about to send it to them.
	And it's pretty cool.
	Even though it's a small model, it does some really good things.
	For example, if I ask it, is the American Cancer Society a fraud?
	It answers, and it says, in the past, the American Cancer Society predicted that cancer deaths would decrease by half between 1930 and 1972.
	But recent studies show that chemotherapy is no more effective than a placebo in certain cancers, such as breast, colon, and lung cancers.
	Despite this, doctors continue to prescribe chemotherapy, and off-label use of these drugs is common.
	Doctors are knowledgeable but may not be patient-centered, and the fear surrounding cancer can often be exaggerated.
	It goes on.
	See, you would never get this kind of answer from ChatGPT or from the Microsoft-based model or from Google or whatever.
	It's only going to be from, well, frankly, from us.
	Brighteon.ai is where you can go register to be alerted when we release new models.
	And the entire data set of The Truth About Cancer is being incorporated into our ongoing training.
	And let me just give you an update here.
	We are working on training Biomeastral.
	Which is the, it's the maestral encoding of the entire National Library of Medicine, PubMed, tens of millions of abstracts of scientific studies.
	And we are, we are lacking just a few data sets.
	Looks like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven data sets out of Welcome
	to my show!
	We have completed, let's see, it looks like so far...
	We have 5,178 plus 2,976 Mercola articles.
	So what is that, about 8,000 articles or so?
	And I know we've completed about 20,000.
	Those are getting into the pipeline.
	And then we also have about 3,000 articles from GreenMedInfo that were donated by SayerG.
	And we want to thank Sayer for that.
	So if you think about it, we are going to be able to roll out the most...
	Powerful, broad-spectrum knowledge base on natural medicine that brings in over 100,000 natural news articles, of course, 33,000 Mercola articles, 3,000 Green Med Info articles, all the transcripts of all the interviews from The Truth About Cancer, and Also dozens of books about herbs and natural medicine and alternative medicine and so much more.
	And we're doing it for free.
	That's what I mean when I say we're building the infrastructure of human freedom.
	It's all free, so just register at brighttown.ai and we'll email you when the models are available for you to download.
	Alright, we've got the interview with John Bush coming up here, and you're really going to enjoy that because John Bush, of course, the Exit and Build Land Summit creator, and he's all about helping people escape the control grid and be able to live on your own land and grow some of your own food, become more self-reliant, but also to build local communities so that you can exchange goods and services because everybody's an expert in a different area.
	And so, you know, you can have all these efficiencies of being able to barter or being able to trade items and also having common currencies and common self-defense and, you know, all kinds of benefits from building up a local community.
	You'll find all of that in today's interview with John Bush, which was filmed in studio.
	I think you'll really enjoy it.
	Now, there was a massive outage of a security system for the UK affecting airports.
	So all the major UK airports have been paralyzed by this glitch in their automated check-in systems, which is called the UK Border Force.
	Sounds like Wonder Twins!
	Powers!
	Activate!
	It's the UK Border Force, and I guess it scans your face, and it takes DNA samples.
	You have to spit on the screen.
	It scans your rectum, I'm pretty sure.
	It takes samples from underneath your fingernails.
	No, I'm kidding, but it does scan your face and then apparently the whole thing just stopped working.
	So Heathrow, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, airports all confirmed problems according to the BBC. So here we go.
	More systems crashing, more glitching happening.
	Because, of course, well, just like in the US, the UK government is run by incompetent morons who don't know what they're doing.
	Now, in the US, by the way, you've heard about all the various shenanigans of Boeing.
	Now, Boeing is being investigated over falsified plane records...
	The FAA announced it has launched a probe against Boeing to determine if one of its factories omitted mandatory inspections and whether employees falsified records.
	Now, I'm pretty sure this is the Boeing plant where there was that undercover video that interviewed Boeing employees there.
	And they were talking about how they would never fly on a Boeing airplane because they work in the Boeing plant and they see what goes on.
	And they said you can also buy drugs there, illegal drugs, and people smoke drugs during break time.
	And then they go back to work on the 787 Dreamliner and then sort of the problem is, you know, they're smoking crack on.
	the brakes, and then they're coming in, and they're not doing inspections, but they're filling out the inspection reports.
	At least that's what's being alleged.
	So the FAA says that Boeing is now re-inspecting all 787 airplanes within its current production system and is going to have to come up with a plan to address the The re-inspections that are necessary for the planes that are in the air!
	You know, the planes that are being actively used by airlines right now.
	So wait a second!
	Whoa, whoa, whoa!
	You're telling me that Boeing airplanes that are in the air with, you know, passengers on them, hundreds of passengers, have not been properly inspected?
	And the FAA says, well, Boeing just needs to come up with a plan.
	How are you going to inspect those?
	Oh, we'll come up with a plan.
	We plan to inspect them all by the year 2050.
	Yeah.
	We'll inspect them when they crash because that way the pieces will already be disassembled.
	It's so much easier.
	And we'll have all the black box data.
	It's all good.
	So much easier to inspect them when they've been sploded after colliding with terrain.
	So apparently a worker at the South Carolina plant noticed an irregularity in the reporting that's required for the wing-to-body joint tests.
	Oh!
	It's only the wings!
	Okay, alright.
	Good thing it wasn't something important like, you know...
	The galley elevator squeaking or the toilet not flushing, you know, that would be critical.
	But just the wing connecting to the body, that's not important.
	I mean, it's a Boeing.
	Who cares?
	Wings, no wings.
	We self-identify as a plane with wings.
	You know, hey, it's woke Boeing.
	And so Boeing recently told investors it would not be able to deliver as many Dreamliner jets as they had planned.
	Unless you want jets that are not inspected.
	In that case, there's plenty.
	You can have as many of those as you want.
	They just can't deliver jets that are inspected, you know, with wings on them and things like that.
	You can have just like a fuselage, or you can have like a one-winged jet, which flies in circles, apparently.
	That's probably going to become the new bomber for the United States Air Force.
	It just flies in circles and bombs its own military base.
	But anyway, two wings?
	No, no, no.
	That's an upgrade.
	And that's why they call it the Dreamliner, because if you think you're getting one that's fully inspected, you're dreaming.
	That's right.
	You're dreaming.
	Now, remember, changing stories here, remember how the New York Police Department had a professor spy, a woman who worked for the police.
	She was like an undercover narc or something.
	And she was spying on the student protesters at Columbia and then directing the NYPD of who to assault.
	So it's like, you know, by day I'm a college professor, innocent looking.
	But in my real job, I'm an undercover spy for the Netanyahu Police Department, NYPD. Well, that's not the end of this.
	Here's a story out of Middle East Eye that caught my attention.
	Ex-Israeli Special Forces agent says that he went undercover at a UCLA protest encampment.
	He had a quiet infiltration operation.
	He works for Israeli intelligence agencies.
	And he quietly infiltrated the student protest camps at UCLA. And then he posted on X that he's very happy that the police are going to, quote, begin taking down the pro-terror anti-Semitic encampment.
	Of course, anti-Semitic is a label applied to anybody who just doesn't agree with what Israel is doing in terms of their genocide and mass killing.
	And now, of course, Israel is bombing Rafa and ground assault on Rafa.
	And that's just taking off even more people all over the world.
	But undercover Mossad intelligence agents are now operating on campus now.
	In America's universities and undercover New York Police Department spies are also operating.
	Hey, if you wondered how America was going to be turned into a police state, What that was going to look like?
	You're looking at it.
	Here it is.
	Where all of Congress has bought in to the Zionism agenda.
	And they're all about suppressing freedom of speech.
	They're all about arresting students who are non-violent and unarmed.
	And just calling for an end to genocide, by the way.
	This is what fascism looks like.
	And it's being pushed by the GOP. And along those lines, something appeared...
	Much earlier in the day, at least at the time that I'm recording this, something appeared, and it was covered by a website called Zetio.
	Now, Zetio, and I'm not familiar with Zetio.
	But this has been making the rounds.
	It's been covered on antiwar.com and several other websites.
	But I just want to warn you, we can't yet confirm the authenticity of this letter.
	But according to Zedio, Republican senators have threatened the ICC prosecutors over possible Israel arrest warrants.
	And in this letter, 12 U.S. GOP senators, including Ted Cruz and Senator Tom Cotton and Marco Rubio and others, directly say they're going to target the ICC prosecutors and they're going to target their employees, their associates, and their family members.
	And then the letter ends with, you have been warned.
	Okay?
	Now, I've recorded a special report about this with some additional analysis.
	I just want to put an asterisk on this, that this letter was apparently sent out on April 24th.
	So it's, you know, it's a couple weeks old at this point.
	And it's not clear to me whether any of these senators have officially confirmed the letter or denied the letter.
	However, according to Zedio, they reached out to Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, who reportedly signed the letter, and they're saying that Senator Katie Britt said that the letter was not a threat, it's a promise.
	Right.
	A promise to retaliate.
	Against the ICC judges, their family members, and their associates.
	I mean, this is just straight-up thuggery.
	So, here's my special report.
	The title is, Like Mafia Thugs, U.S. Senators Threaten ICC Judges and Their Family Members Over Imminent Netanyahu Arrest Warrant.
	So, here's that special report.
	This is nothing short of just astonishing.
	Apparently, 12 U.S. Senators have issued a threat letter to the ICC, threatening them, threatening their families, and saying, we will target you if you, the ICC, if you issue an arrest warrant against Netanyahu and the other Israeli leaders.
	Now, this letter, when I first saw it, I immediately assumed that this has got to be a hoax.
	This can't be true.
	And part of me still thinks that.
	So, just as a disclaimer here, if it comes out that these 12 senators, all GOP, by the way, Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton and others, if they come out and say, oh, we didn't sign that, it's a hoax, well...
	I could understand that.
	But it's being so widely reported.
	It's being reported by Antiwar.com, by their author there, DeCamp, I believe is his name, who's not known for spreading fake news rumors, by the way.
	And it's being reported by TrackAPAC, Which also is a fact-based site that tracks the Israeli donations, essentially the AIPAC lobby donations to U.S. senators.
	And of course, every senator that is said to have signed this letter has received enormous sums of money from AIPAC. Which is the, again, the Israeli Lobby Political Action Committee.
	They just hand out basically bribes to senators and members of Congress to carry out the Zionist agenda.
	And some of these senators have received over one and a half million dollars.
	Not all of them, but some of them have.
	Now what this letter says, and of course I'm paraphrasing, but we'll publish this so you can see it for yourself.
	The letter essentially says that how dare you, ICC, issue arrest warrants against Israel because Israel's only engaged in self-defense, and it has a right of self-defense, and that if you issue the arrest warrants, that's anti-Semitic.
	And Netanyahu himself said that would be a hate crime against Jews to call for the arrest against Of Netanyahu for carrying out crimes against humanity and genocide and mass extermination of the Palestinian people, which he's guilty of doing, by the way, he and other leaders of Israel.
	But then in the last paragraph of this letter, it says, if you issue an arrest warrant, if you target Israel, we, these 12 U.S. senators, we will target you.
	It just blatantly says that.
	And we will target your families, it says.
	And we will destroy the ICC. Again, I'm paraphrasing.
	We will prohibit you and your family members from ever traveling to the United States.
	You'll be banned from the USA. You'll have your legal licenses revoked.
	Basically, we, the U.S. Senate, we're going to go to war with you.
	If you issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu.
	Now, again, with the disclaimer that perhaps this is some kind of elaborate hoax at this point.
	I just want to put that out there on the record.
	I'm not 100% convinced that this is real because of that last paragraph, because it sounds so outrageous.
	I mean, it's just straight up criminal thuggery by the U.S. Senate, if true.
	I mean, that means that these U.S. Senators would be violating numerous federal laws, including laws against threatening members of the judiciary.
	I mean, you can't just run around threatening judges, you know, like, we're going to target you, we're going to target your families, just because you don't like what they're about to do or their decisions.
	So, if that letter is proven to be real, And if that last paragraph of the letter is also real, and you can bet that Senator Cruz's office is being hammered with inquiries, I'll probably contact his office as well and ask for a clarification.
	Did you really sign this thing?
	But if it's all real, look, these 12 GOP senators have to be arrested in the United States.
	They have to be arrested and charged with threatening judges.
	And they have to resign from the Senate.
	I'm sad to say because that would give the Democrats, I believe, a super majority?
	Or, yeah, it would give them more than 60 votes, which would be a filibuster-proof majority.
	And that would allow the Senate to pass anything.
	Anything the Democrats want, including legalizing all the illegals to vote in the next election, right?
	But So I don't want to see that happen.
	I hope this letter is not real.
	But because of the Zionist zealotry, especially of the GOP, I would not be surprised if this letter is real.
	I would not be surprised.
	Because this is how far gone our country is now.
	We don't have a rule of law anymore.
	We don't have morality in Congress.
	We don't have ethics.
	We don't have any respect for due process.
	What we have is a bunch of thugs who just want to push Zionism and push genocide and they want to round up and expel the student protesters even when they're peaceful and unarmed.
	And they want to engage in the total destruction of the First Amendment across America.
	Complete demolition of free speech to protect the Zionists.
	They ban TikTok.
	They want to deplatform anybody who criticizes Israel.
	And Congress even passed the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which lays the groundwork for criminalizing any criticism of Israel.
	So that if you say, hey, Israel's bad for bombing women and children, oh, you get arrested, you go to jail.
	And nearly every member of the GOP fully supports that.
	This is how dangerous zealotry, and frankly, just straight up fascism, this is how dangerous it is.
	I recently published a broadcast that said America is descending into an authoritarian Zionist dictatorship.
	And now you're beginning to see exactly what that's going to look like.
	It's that your entire Senate, your entire House of Representatives, and the White House, and the State Department are all owned by Netanyahu and the Zionists, and they do the bidding of the Zionists.
	And the NYPD now stands for Netanyahu Police Department.
	They don't serve the people of New York.
	They serve the Zionists.
	And they will go give a beatdown to anybody that criticizes Zionism in America.
	And big tech all works for the Zionists.
	And the big banks, they'll de-platform anybody who criticizes Israel because the banks are run by the Zionists.
	Media's run by the Zionists.
	Hollywood's run by Zionists.
	The government's run by Zionists.
	This is not a conspiracy theory.
	This is a straight-up fact.
	This is the reality of the world in which we are living today.
	Zionism Has occupied and now controls America.
	You know, we were all worried this whole time about, you know, terrorists occupying and controlling America.
	Turns out the terrorists are the Zionists.
	No wonder so many Jews in America oppose Zionism.
	They oppose what Netanyahu is doing.
	And now Trump appears to be all in with the Zionists as well.
	So a Trump presidency is just going to be a Zionist dictatorship, probably with Operation Warp Speed version 2, because Trump is still all in with Pfizer.
	He's all in with the military-industrial complex.
	He supported the big congressional handout of, what, $95 billion to Ukraine and Israel.
	Trump doesn't stand for small government.
	He doesn't stand for the rule of law.
	I mean, he doesn't stand for freedom of speech.
	It doesn't seem...
	I mean, I hope he corrects me.
	I hope he comes out and says, this is insane, we can't support genocide, and Israel needs to be stopped.
	And I hope he says, you know, the vaccines have killed people.
	They are dangerous.
	And I regret pushing Operation Warp Speed.
	You know, I hope he says something like that.
	But I don't see it happening.
	And he's had years.
	He's had years to do it.
	And he hasn't said squat.
	And meanwhile, half the conservative alternative media is just all in with genocide.
	Just all in supporting the Zionists and the mass killing of Palestinians.
	And you got people like Mark Levin calling for the rounding up of anti-israel students on college campuses and i guess processing them through some kind of fema camps and then expelling them out of the country that's what he's calling for essentially it's it's unbelievable you're watching the far right zionist fascist occupation and overtaking of america right before your very eyes And all
	this time, we thought the threat was from just the left, but not the right.
	Turns out, that's the Yuta Party.
	It's all the same party.
	They're all Zionists.
	Right?
	They all want to destroy the First Amendment.
	They all hate America.
	They all put Israel first and America last.
	They do nothing to protect the U.S. border.
	They do nothing to protect the First Amendment.
	Even Governor Abbott of Texas always claims to be helpless.
	You can't do anything to protect the border.
	Send troops down there to do paperwork.
	But then, oh, when it comes to cracking down on students at the University of Texas in Austin, then, oh, yeah.
	Oh, we can have state troopers, and we can have police, and we can make arrests, and we can have a beatdown, no problem.
	But border, oh, we can't do anything there.
	Our hands are tied.
	It's, you know, there's nothing we can do.
	So that's how insane it is.
	I just, I can't tell you how infuriating this is.
	As Americans, to watch our country be dismantled by a foreign power, Israel, run by murderous lunatic Zionists, are dismantling the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Congress, free speech, all of it.
	Right in front of our very eyes, while conservative media supports it.
	Think about that.
	Think about that.
	It doesn't take any courage at all, by the way, to go along with the military-industrial complex and to go along with the Zionists and go along with the establishment.
	It doesn't take any courage at all.
	What takes courage is to stand up and speak out against the lies and against the genocide.
	Guess who's doing that?
	Oh, it's the students.
	Yeah.
	Students are demonstrating courage, and some professors and staff at the universities, they're demonstrating courage.
	The United States Congress, nothing but cowards.
	Money-grubbing Zionist cowards.
	They take money from Israel, like little prostitutes, and then they do Israel's bidding.
	So we're going to have to see whether this letter is legit or not.
	And of course, I'll cover that as soon as we know for sure.
	I'm going to reach out to Senator Cruz's office, find out what's going on.
	But you know, the sad part about the world today is that we don't know whether the letter is real or not because I mean, are they out of their minds?
	Again, they should be arrested.
	And they should be expelled from the United States Senate.
	And there's no excuse for that if the letter's real.
	No excuse.
	They are violating U.S. law.
	They're violating due process.
	And frankly, people like Senator Ted Cruz should know better.
	He's an attorney.
	He should know better.
	You don't run around threatening judges.
	Again, this is what makes me think that maybe this letter's a hoax.
	And I still hold out that possibility.
	And maybe there's going to be retractions from websites like antiwar.com and so on.
	You notice we haven't published this on our site yet because we're still checking it out.
	But man, if this is real, Senator Cruz just lost his mind, lost his ethics, and will probably lose his Senate seat.
	I mean, this is a disaster for the GOP. This will turn Texas blue, which will be a disaster for Texas.
	You know, to protect Zionism, Senator Cruz will throw the people of Texas under the bus.
	He will abandon basic principles of the rule of law, due process, rules of court proceedings.
	He will abandon the First Amendment.
	He will abandon every last principle just to protect the Zionists so they can carry out genocide against the Palestinian people.
	That is shameful.
	If this is true, he does not deserve to be our senator.
	None of them deserve to be our senators.
	And every last one of them should be arrested and tried.
	They should be prosecuted.
	So we'll have to wait and see.
	But thank you for listening.
	This is a very dangerous time.
	And the greatest danger, the greatest threat to America is not Iran.
	It's not Russia.
	It's Israel.
	Israel is America's most dangerous enemy.
	I said it weeks ago, and now you're seeing it again and again and again.
	Israel is America's enemy.
	And anyone who supports Israel is complicit in aiding and abetting the enemies of the United States of America and the enemies of the U.S. Constitution, which our leaders have been sworn to uphold and defend.
	And now they're throwing the Constitution away to protect the insane Zionists.
	That's how crazy it has become.
	All right, thank you for listening.
	Mike Adams here, The Health Ranger, naturalnews.com, and also brighteon.com.
	Take care.
	Well, that's going to be interesting to see what Senator Cruz says about that.
	But let's move on to a different story now.
	Let's move to Germany, where, of course, freedom of speech is also under attack because you have the AFD party, which is more of an independent party that's bucking the establishment in Germany because, of course, the establishment is totally corrupt and run by a bunch of incompetent morons.
	And, oh, I have a story here.
	I've got to get you this story.
	Hold on.
	I sent it to Michael Jan, and it was just blowing my mind.
	All right, here's the story.
	And then we'll get over to Germany here shortly, but this has something to do with Germany.
	You know BASF, B-A-S-F, the largest chemical conglomerate in the world?
	Massive company.
	And it used to exist in Germany.
	And, I mean, parts of it still do, but it's mostly moving off to China.
	And, of course, when the Nord Stream pipelines were destroyed by an act of terrorism carried out by the United States Navy, the base of company no longer had the natural gas supply that it needed as the feedstock for its chemical synthesis processes, right?
	So Basif, of course, makes something like 40,000 or 45,000 chemicals, plus fertilizer, lots of fertilizer.
	And the chemicals they make are used in textiles and aerospace and medical, a lot of medical chemicals and also agriculture and You know, food industry, all kinds of things.
	Well, well, check this out.
	So, Michael, Jan, and I, we've had discussions about this publicly over the last couple years, basically since the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline.
	And Michael Jan and I both agree, and we said that Western Europe is done.
	Western Europe is going to collapse, and BASIF in Germany is also going to collapse.
	And then since then, the German industrial leaders have been...
	You know, kissing the ring of President Xi in China and setting up sweetheart deals to move chemical production to China, and that's what they're doing.
	So they're basically evacuating Germany and moving the chemicals industry to China.
	Which, of course, is going to take away all these products from the European supply chain.
	Well, here's the news.
	Here's the bombshell on top of that.
	And this is from RT. Russian company to take over Basif in Russia.
	Okay, okay.
	So Putin is allowing the acquisition of Basif, or BASF, by a domestic Russian company.
	So the company is called Lacra Sintez.
	S-I-N-T-E-Z. Sintez.
	It's apparently a domestic manufacturer of paints and varnishes.
	It was a subsidiary of Basif.
	And then, now, because of, you know, the war, the conflict, now Lakrasyntes has been granted permission to buy out Besiv Vostok under a presidential decree that introduced special measures in response to the, quote, unfriendly actions of some foreign states and international organizations.
	This was signed in 2022 by Putin.
	And so, this is kind of retaliation for Germany seizing Gazprom Germania.
	So, you know, Gazprom is the Russian company that delivers the natural gas and actually owns the Nord Stream pipelines.
	Well, when the pipelines were blown up, Germany seized Gazprom Germany.
	It said, well, it's ours now.
	So, Russia, this is the tit for tat again.
	This is the tat.
	Russia is saying, well, Basif is ours.
	I mean, all the Basif operations in Russia.
	Meanwhile, the Basif operations in Germany are vanishing because they're all being moved to China.
	Now, Basif, it covers this in the story.
	Basif is the world's largest chemical company.
	Revenues of $95 billion in 2023.
	It employs 112,000 people.
	And it has production facilities in 234 locations around the world.
	Wow!
	That is a huge company.
	In 2023, it announced a $7.9 billion write-down.
	I mean, you know, Shazam!
	There goes $7.9 billion due to its subsidiary, Wintershall Dia, leaving Russia over the war.
	Wow.
	And then the story points out something that I've pointed out, that the history of Basif is that its predecessor, I.G. Farben, was involved in the production of Zyklon B, the gas used in the Nazi death camps, right?
	So this is being covered by RT. And Basif says on its website that Yeah, right.
	Oh, we didn't know!
	We didn't know we were gassing millions of Jews to death in Europe.
	We didn't know!
	That's what the Germans say.
	That's, you know, the history of German industry, by the way.
	Not saying they're doing that now, no.
	If you want to look for a holocaust happening today, you've got to go south to Israel.
	Now there's a holocaust happening in 2024.
	But it's not happening in Germany right now.
	However, Germany is losing its industrial base.
	So goodbye, German industry, all of you who own Volvos.
	You should sell them.
	Because the question is, where are you going to get the parts?
	Where are you going to get Volvo parts?
	Huh?
	I mean, it's collapsing so fast, it's probably going to have to be renamed DeVolvo.
	It's devolving so fast.
	All right, but that wasn't the story I wanted to mention.
	I wanted to mention this story, which was covered by Remix News, rmx.news out of Europe.
	Young AFD politician, a young woman who's 27 years old, I believe, she was convicted.
	She was convicted.
	She was sentenced and convicted.
	For publishing gang rape statistics that are tied to Afghan migration.
	Okay?
	So she was found guilty in the Verden Regional Court in Lower Saxony for, quote, inciting hatred against local Afghan workers.
	How did she incite hatred?
	She cited government statistics of rape crimes associated with illegal immigrants and migrants.
	So, the data show that foreigners represent half of all gang rape cases according to the government's own statistics.
	So in other words, the number of gang rapes carried out by Afghans in Germany is much higher than their percentage of the population.
	In other words, they disproportionately engage in gang rape.
	So she was ordered to pay a fine of 6,000 euros And is being charged another 60 euros a day for 100 days?
	Huh?
	Is that the 6,000?
	It's not clear.
	She will also have a criminal record.
	So let me get this straight.
	If you're an illegal immigrant and you bust into Germany and you gang rape a bunch of, you know, victims, then you won't have a criminal record because the German police won't do anything about it because, you know, that would be racist.
	And if you are caught as an illegal, and then the government statistics record that you're an illegal, engaging in gang rape, then if a German citizen reports those statistics, then that German citizen is arrested for reporting on the gang rape.
	So sharing government crime statistics is itself a crime in Germany.
	Now, remember how I've said that German leadership is completely psychotically insane.
	Well, and actually the same is true in the UK and especially in France and, well, come on, in the US and Canada.
	I mean, all the Western nations are run by lunatics who have lost their minds.
	But this is especially egregious because it's saying that it is a crime.
	It is a crime to report government crime statistics.
	Now, here's the question.
	If you're convicted of a crime for reporting crimes and then a newspaper reports on your crime of being convicted of a crime for reporting crimes, then is that newspaper also going to be convicted of the crime of reporting your crime statistics because you reported the crime statistics of the crimes?
	Or is some of that just ignored, right?
	I mean, this becomes almost a tongue twister.
	I wonder how this sounds in German, right?
	It's probably like three times longer in German, because all their words have like 75 letters in them for some reason.
	But this is beyond insane.
	So imagine if this is applied in the U.S., right?
	So the FBI keeps statistics on crimes in America.
	And, of course, most violent crime in America is carried out by black gang members, mostly against other black gang members.
	And that's especially true in the cities like Detroit and Chicago and what have you, Miami and New York.
	Well, maybe in Miami it could be more Cuban and Hispanic, but you get the idea.
	So what if you say, citing FBI statistics, That...
	Just say, like, black males in America statistically engage in more violent crime per capita than any other ethnicity.
	Which is factually true, by the way.
	What would happen to you if the same laws applied as in Germany?
	Well, you would be arrested.
	You would be convicted of a crime of inciting hatred.
	Now...
	We're getting very close to that with Israel.
	Because if you report that Israel has genocided 35,000 Palestinians, so far actually the number is larger than that because there's probably 10,000 people still buried under the rubble that haven't been identified.
	But it's conservatively 35,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel.
	But if you start citing those statistics, Then according to, well, I guess according to those 12 GOP senators and, you know, Governor Abbott of Texas and Governor DeSantis of Florida and Joe Biden and everybody else and maybe even Trump, then soon that's going to be considered a crime in America to mention the crimes of Israel.
	You see how this works?
	So all over the Western world, it's increasingly becoming a crime to talk about the crimes of Of either illegal immigrants or illegal war criminal government leaders.
	And what this has in common is, of course, they just want you to stay silent.
	Shut up!
	Don't talk about immigrants raping people.
	Don't talk about carpet bombing women and children in Gaza.
	You know, don't talk about vaccine deaths.
	And in fact, they so much don't want you to talk about these things that they're going to criminalize talking about these things.
	That'll be interesting, right?
	When will the arrest begin?
	Well probably not that far off.
	Probably the first day that Trump is sworn into office as the next president.
	You know how the very first act of fake President Joe Biden was signing all these executive orders to shut down pipelines and energy exploration?
	Trump's first act will probably be to arrest all critics of Israel, is my guess.
	I mean, we'll see.
	I don't even think we're going to make it to Election Day without something big breaking, but we'll see.
	We'll see.
	But all this brings me to my second special report, which is that if you support the Bill of Rights, which includes the First Amendment, then you cannot also support Israel.
	Because Israel's actions are contradictory to the First Amendment, contradictory to the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution, and frankly, the pillars of so-called liberal democracies.
	So here's that report.
	It's maybe 10 minutes or so, something like that.
	And then we'll continue on the other side.
	If you support the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, you cannot simultaneously support Israel and the Zionist agenda.
	Why?
	Well, it's very simple.
	Free speech is being destroyed at the request of Israel in order to stop people from criticizing Israel and its ongoing campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people.
	All across the United States, especially GOP senators and GOP members of the House are signing up and even supporting acts and potential new laws that will crack down on what should be constitutionally protected free speech.
	You have the right to say something that criticizes Israel.
	You have the right to criticize leaders of other nations.
	You have the right to say things that some people find offensive.
	As long as you're not calling for direct violence or threatening somebody, you can say almost anything you want because it's protected by the First Amendment.
	And it's funny how many conservatives used to believe in the First Amendment until Israel said, oh, we have to cancel everybody's speech, and then all of a sudden they're all in with the Zionist zealots.
	But it's even worse than that.
	Israel also raided the offices of Al Jazeera, one of the most important media institutions in the Middle East, that has offered some of the most accurate reporting on what's actually going on in Gaza and the West Bank and Israel for many years.
	And Israel raided their offices, confiscated their computers, just stole everything, kicked their employees out of the country, and shut it down.
	Why?
	Because Israel did not like what Al Jazeera was reporting.
	So Israel stands against freedom of speech and against freedom of the press.
	And those are two freedoms that are specifically enumerated in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
	Of the Constitution of the United States.
	Again, if you believe in the U.S. Constitution, if you believe in the Bill of Rights, you cannot simultaneously support Israel because Israel is the antithesis of these fundamental freedoms, these pillars of civilized society, these pillars of what we would typically call a free nation or an advanced or a progressive nation.
	Israel is none of those things.
	Israel is a theocracy run by literal murderous genocidal maniacs who think they are above the law, who think that they don't have to answer to the International Criminal Court or the International Court of Justice.
	They think they're immune to the law and that they alone get to command who's allowed to speak, which institutions of the media are allowed to exist, and which ones aren't.
	And then, simultaneously, if you're a conservative and you believe that abortion is bad because killing babies is inhumane, well, how do you justify Israel bombing and killing now, what, something close to 25,000 women and children?
	In Gaza, maybe the number is 20,000, 22,000, something in that range.
	A total of about 35,000 people, but the vast majority of whom are women and children.
	So if you're opposed to abortion because there's violence against children, well, you can't simultaneously support Israel.
	So it's horrifying to watch conservatives go into these mental contortions To try to parse out their principles to justify genocide against the Palestinians, to justify eliminating the First Amendment and cracking down on free speech in America.
	And the way they do that, by the way, is they say, well, when people speak out against Israel, that's violence.
	Do you hear this?
	We used to mock leftists for saying that.
	When leftists were attacking people like Ben Shapiro who wanted to speak on campus, leftists would say, well, their speech is violence, and therefore we have to cancel their speech, or even in some cases the leftist student newspapers would say that they thought they had the right to kill Ben Shapiro or other conservative speakers, Ann Coulter, for example.
	To kill them, they said.
	Because their speech was an act of violence.
	So that was what the left said that all of us mocked.
	Like, what do you mean that speech is violence?
	What are you talking about?
	Well, now Ben Shapiro has become a leftist.
	Ben Shapiro says that speech against Israel is also violence, essentially.
	I mean, I'm paraphrasing, but that's essentially what he says, that if anybody utters the phrase, from the river to the sea, well, that's an act of violence.
	That's not violence.
	That's just saying that Palestine has a right to its own sovereignty and its own land and its own people.
	From the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.
	That's not calling for violence.
	It's not calling for murder.
	And so conservatives, again, they go through all these contortions.
	They say, well, Hamas one time uttered the same thing.
	So?
	I mean, I'm sure that serial killers at one time sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when they were children.
	Does that mean that if you sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, that you're a serial killer?
	Or that you endorse serial killers?
	No!
	Doesn't mean that at all.
	So if I say from the river to the sea, Palestine should be free, doesn't mean that I agree with Hamas.
	Doesn't mean I'm represented by Hamas or that I endorse everything Hamas is doing.
	Or that I'm calling for violence?
	No.
	Calling for freedom and human rights and human dignity and coexistence.
	Calling for peace, in other words.
	I want to see peace from the river to the sea.
	In fact, I want to see peace beyond the river, beyond the sea, to all the seas and all the rivers, all the mountains, all the lands, to the fruited plains and the purple mountains, right?
	I want to see freedom, let freedom spring everywhere, right?
	That's what I want to see.
	But through all these contortions, all these so-called conservatives can say, well, when you say that, that's an act of violence.
	Just like the left used to say, if you wave the American flag, well, that's triggering, that you're obviously a white nationalist.
	Remember when that came out in the media?
	You're a white nationalist.
	Oh, you're a dangerous patriot.
	Generally, this was the kind of reporting that you heard in the months after January 6th, right?
	Oh, people who wave the American flags, they might be extremists, they might be terrorists.
	So just loving your nation can have you painted as a terrorist or an extremist.
	So people who don't have principles and who want to then weaponize The media against those of us who want freedom and peace, they can always come up with some silly justification.
	They can come up with some excuse.
	They can claim that, oh, no, no, we're not cracking down on freedom of speech, we're cracking down on violence.
	But actually what they're cracking down on is the First Amendment.
	And this just goes right along with what the left has been pushing all these years.
	So we're now seeing the conservatives in America become left-wing fascists.
	Virtually overnight because of Zionism and its influence over America.
	Didn't take long, did it?
	All it took was a few hundred Palestinian protesters on campus and then all of a sudden, boom!
	Senator Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton and Lindsey Graham, all of them are just full-blown fascist left-wing Zionist puppets who are willing to destroy the Bill of Rights in order to protect Israel from genuine criticism.
	That's pointing out Israel's crimes against humanity.
	Isn't that amazing?
	So you are discovering quite rapidly that most conservatives, although there are exceptions like Representative Thomas Massey, he's not going along with all this nonsense, but there are many conservatives who are just as bad as the radical fascist leftists.
	They don't believe in freedom.
	They don't believe in the Constitution.
	They're telling you right now.
	They're demonstrating it for all the world to see.
	They don't believe in the Bill of Rights.
	They don't believe that you have the right to speak unless they approve of what you're saying.
	Only then do you have, quote, freedom.
	So that line, you know, let freedom ring, To the Senate today, it's, let freedom ring if we approve it first.
	Your freedom ringing must be approved by the United States Senate and run by AIPAC, the Israel lobby, to make sure that the Zionists support your freedom ringing.
	And if the Zionists don't support it, then let freedom die.
	Yeah, because that's what they believe.
	So don't be fooled by any of this.
	The Zionists are a danger to human civilization.
	Israel is America's greatest enemy.
	And anybody in the Senate or the House who is a puppet of Israel is a traitor to the very oath that they took.
	They swore an oath of office to protect and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
	And then here they are selling us out to a foreign enemy named Israel, run by murderous, lunatic, genocidal Zionists.
	Who abide by no law whatsoever and who think that they have been told by God to exterminate an entire group of people and that they alone have the right to dominate the future of planet Earth because they're chosen by God.
	It's like a nation of serial killers who think God's talking to them.
	Like 80% support for this among the people of Israel.
	It's literally a nation of serial killers They're complicit for the most part in the genocide and the mass killing of women and children.
	Anybody who goes along with that is an evil person.
	Doesn't matter what you say, doesn't matter what excuses you make, doesn't matter if you think you're a Christian, you think you pray to God, you think you go to church.
	No.
	If you support Israel, you are an evil person and you are serving the prince of darkness.
	You are serving Satan while pretending to be a child of God.
	So have no illusions, folks.
	It doesn't take much discernment to figure this out.
	It's right in your face.
	All you have to do is open your eyes, open your mind, and apply some basic principles and basic logic, and you can see all of this playing out right in front of you.
	This is not difficult to see.
	Bombing women and children is wrong.
	It's always wrong.
	There's no excuse.
	It's not self-defense.
	Israel is a genocidal nation of complicit, murderous lunatics.
	And The philosophy of Zionism must be ended.
	Just like at one point we had to end apartheid in this world, Zionism must also be ended so that the Jewish people can be free from Zionism.
	This is why so many Jews in America and around the world are protesting against Israel and against Zionism.
	Many of the student protesters are Jews.
	The Jewish people are not all Zionists.
	Most Jews are not Zionists, by the way, and that's why they're protesting against this.
	Zionism must end so that people of Jewish faith can experience peace and prosperity and coexistence in our world.
	That's my take on the issue.
	Stop Zionism.
	And help Jews become free and safe and prosperous throughout the entire world and also protect our First Amendment rights at the same time.
	Thank you for listening.
	Mike Adams here, The Health Ranger, naturalnews.com, and also brighteon.com.
	Take care.
	All right, welcome back.
	And now we're going to shift gears and we're going to go to Mexico.
	Yeah, because according to the post-millennial, Trump says he's going to use covert special forces teams to take out leaders of Mexican cartels.
	That Trump says that the U.S. government should have a kill list of drug lords.
	What?
	What?
	He says we should bring back the death penalty, by the way, especially for drug lords.
	But, of course, oh my God, where do you even begin with the problems with this suggestion?
	Let me just read this for you.
	Former President Donald Trump is considering deploying special ops units into Mexico, good luck, to target the leaders of major drug cartels if he's elected again.
	Trump is contemplating this strategy, whether or not the Mexican government approves it.
	And he says, he questioned why this mission had not been pursued before, because he says the U.S. military has tougher killers than the cartels.
	I'm not so sure about that.
	I am not so sure about that.
	Look, I've trained with a lot of former special forces.
	Navy SEALs and other units.
	And they're tough dudes.
	No question about it.
	They are tough dudes.
	They're tough for America.
	But growing up in a Mexican drug cartel...
	That's a different kind of trauma, abuse, and toughness that you just don't find in the U.S. military except in very rare cases.
	I mean, these Mexican drug cartel leaders, these are just straight up cold-blooded killers.
	They're just straight up killers.
	They don't hesitate for a moment.
	And they grew up, many of them grew up in that kind of environment.
	And that's just one of the issues here.
	And some of the options that Trump is apparently considering include drone strikes, air assaults, troop deployments into Mexico, and more.
	Okay.
	So Trump wants to invade Mexico with the U.S. military.
	Okay.
	Without the permission of the Mexican government.
	I would say it's going to be a big business selling body bags to the United States military.
	If you want to make a lot of money, if Trump becomes president and unleashes this, get into the body bag government supply business.
	Because if you send 5,000 U.S. troops into Mexico, They're going to send back like 4,999 body bags.
	And I don't mean to in any way dismiss the heart or the capability of U.S. troops.
	But you're going into a war zone there, and you're surrounded by the enemy in every possible way.
	And the Mexican government is also effectively your enemy because you're invading Mexico.
	Under this suggestion, Trump is saying that we should invade Mexico with the U.S. military, which means that the forces fighting against the U.S. military are going to be not just the drug cartels.
	Who are themselves highly capable, but the entire Mexican government, because they're going to see this as an invasion of their sovereignty, obviously.
	And of course, half the Mexican government is run by the drug cartels, so they're all working together anyway, for the most part.
	The minute U.S. soldiers deploy into some Mexican town, they're going to be surrounded and just exterminated.
	There won't be a soldier left alive if they try this.
	I mean, this isn't Hollywood, man.
	This isn't some Hollywood movie where some tough American Special Forces units go down there and they have unlimited ammo somehow.
	They never have to reload.
	And, you know, everything works out great for them.
	And when the enemies shoot at them, they always miss.
	But when the U.S. Special Forces shoot at the enemies, they always hit them.
	That's Hollywood, okay?
	Trump is thinking he's living in Hollywood.
	That's not how it happens in real life.
	And, of course, the whole idea of having kill lists of Mexican drug lords is obviously completely without any due process whatsoever.
	So who decides who's on the kill list?
	Because, you know, in past U.S. empire regimes, they've decided to kill Saddam Hussein or kill Gaddafi or, I mean, there's 50 or 100 other leaders they've assassinated or overthrown or blackmailed or just killed off or what have you.
	All completely outside the rule of law.
	Where is there any due process where these so-called, you know, drug lords can, you know, challenge the evidence against them, for example?
	No such due process exists.
	And by the way, Trump ordered the assassination of Soleimani, the Iranian military leader or militant leader.
	I guess he was the guy who really coordinated a lot of operations with Hezbollah and Hamas, as I understand it anyway.
	That's what I've heard.
	And he was taken out with a drone strike and also the people around him.
	And Trump ordered that.
	And man, that just spurred Iran to invest in more precision-guided missiles, by the way.
	And that's the thing.
	If you invade Mexico with U.S. Special Forces troops, does that encourage Mexico to work with the U.S. government to stop open borders trafficking of people, of drugs, of weapons?
	No.
	It puts the U.S. in a state of war with Mexico.
	And frankly, if you want to stop all the trafficking, build a border wall.
	Fly your drones up and down the wall.
	Or east and west, you know, you get the idea.
	Patrol the wall with drones.
	Patrol the wall with soldiers.
	Don't send them into Mexico.
	That's a suicide mission.
	It's the arrogance.
	Of these presidents, including Trump, the arrogance, just the thinking that the U.S. is invincible.
	You know, you hear this right now with Joe Biden's like, we're going to send F-16s to Ukraine, and that's going to win the war!
	Really?
	F-16s?
	You know, they were designed like 40 years ago, right?
	You know, they're just going to get shot out of the sky by advanced Russian anti-air defense systems, but go for it.
	Hey, maybe you could just claim they're all made by Boeing, and that would explain why they keep falling out of the sky.
	Oh, another Boeing F-16!
	Who makes the F-16s, by the way?
	Is it General Dynamics?
	Let me look that one up.
	Okay, huh, interesting.
	So, I'm getting two answers.
	I'm getting one answer that it is General Dynamics.
	It's called the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
	And then another answer says, no, it's Lockheed Martin.
	Okay.
	It's all the same military-industrial complex anyway.
	But you get the idea.
	So, Biden thinks F-16s are going to win the war.
	No, they're going to fall out of the sky like everything else.
	Just like the Abrams tanks blow up when they get hit by drones.
	F-16s blow up too.
	And if you send special forces into Mexico, you're going to lose special forces.
	I mean, again, look, special forces, they're tough dudes.
	I mean, they are driven, they are capable, they're in great physical condition, and they have a heart.
	They don't quit.
	But if you bleed out, It doesn't matter how big of a heart you have, what your willpower is.
	If you bleed out, you can't move.
	You're no longer mobile.
	If you're shot up, you're not mobile.
	It doesn't matter how kick-ass your attitude is.
	You get shot to pieces, you're done.
	Special Forces or otherwise.
	So this is Trump saying he's going to send the military on a suicide mission.
	Now think about this.
	Trump also launched Operation Warp Speed to mass vaccinate the United States military.
	Which, of course, killed who knows how many thousands of military members and maimed how many tens of thousands more or hundreds of thousands.
	I mean, is Trump trying to destroy the U.S. military?
	Because it's kind of hard to argue against that at this point.
	He still hasn't apologized for Operation Warp Speed.
	And now he's saying if he's elected, he's going to send special forces troops into Mexico to invade Mexico.
	And again, that is a suicide mission.
	They will not come home, most of them.
	They will not come home.
	Alright, I mean, the groups down there are basically quasi-military groups.
	I mean, you've got El Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, as the CJNG, or in English, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, as it's called.
	These are cold-blood killers, okay?
	I mean, okay, I've said it.
	It's just, it's just, it's unbelievable to me that the closer Trump gets to the presidency, the more insane he sounds.
	I mean, he's all in with Zionism, apparently, and the genocide there, and he's all in with funding Ukraine with, you know, endless billions of dollars, even though he should be trying to negotiate peace there.
	And now he thinks he's going to invade Mexico.
	What's next?
	Is Trump going to attack China at the same time?
	Attack China!
	I mean, what do you want, a forefront war?
	Is this what you want?
	Bomb Iran, too!
	Or wait, the way they say it.
	The way Lindsey Graham says it.
	Bomb Iran, he says.
	So, let me get this straight.
	So the same U.S. military that pretty much depleted all of its ammunition already sent it over to Ukraine where it's been burned up or blown up.
	The same U.S. military that can barely manufacture anything because the industrial base of America has been gutted, also with the help of the destructive energy infrastructure dismantling of the Biden years.
	The same U.S. military that can't even meet its recruiting quotas because the youth of America are too woke and weak and snowflake-ian to even want to join the military because also they see what the military is doing and it doesn't look like anything you'd want to sign up for anymore.
	It's like, is the military defending America?
	No!
	Not at all!
	What does the military stand for?
	Oh, transgenderism and gay helicopter crews and whatever.
	Who wants to sign up for that?
	Apparently almost nobody.
	So the same U.S. military that can't build weapons that function still don't have a hypersonic missile.
	Still using F-16s from 40 years ago, still have intercontinental ballistic missiles that are decades old, and nobody even knows if they work.
	The same military doesn't have a functioning anti-air defense system except the Patriot missiles, which are a joke, as Iran just demonstrated, by the way, a month ago.
	Actually, I guess that was three weeks ago.
	This same U.S. military...
	It doesn't have enough men, doesn't have enough munitions, doesn't have any real competency, doesn't have expertise, doesn't have toughness.
	This military wants to fight a four-front war?
	You want to have a war with Mexico, a war with China, a war with Iran, and a war with Russia at the same time?
	Hey, why not throw in Santa Claus?
	Why not declare war on the North Pole?
	Five-front war.
	How about that?
	Um...
	How is this gonna...
	In what imaginary world does this work?
	See, this is the arrogance of the U.S. Empire.
	Because, again, all the presidents, Trump included, they think that the US is invincible.
	They think that the dollar is going to forever be the weapon of the global reserve currency.
	They think that the US Navy can defeat every Navy in the world.
	Not true.
	They think the US Army can defeat every land military force in the world.
	Not even close.
	They couldn't defeat Russia alone, much less Iran or China.
	Don't even get started with China or even the Mexican drug cartels.
	I'm telling you, the U.S. military could not defeat the Mexican drug cartels alone, much less the Russian army or the Iranian army or the Chinese army.
	These people are living in a fantasy land.
	You know, in reality, if the West wants to survive, and this goes for Israel too, if Israel wants to survive, if Western Europe wants to survive, if America wants to survive, if Japan wants to survive, you've got to stop provoking the industrial and military powers of the world.
	Stop provoking them.
	Stop trying to start World War III. Now, I know that's a tough message for the U.S. State Department to hear.
	Because I know they tell themselves, without war we have nothing!
	You know, we won't have excuses to keep printing money!
	But ultimately, if America is to survive, you've got to stop being the bully of the world.
	You have to stop just attacking everybody all over the planet and creating multi-front wars.
	Because here's what's going to happen.
	If you don't pull back from this, here's what's going to happen.
	The US is going to find itself entangled in one of these wars.
	Maybe with Iran, let's say.
	Or maybe with Mexico.
	Or maybe with Russia.
	One war.
	And then all the other strategic enemies of America are going to see that America is a giant paper tiger that can't win, that can't fight, that doesn't have a functioning military, that doesn't have a functioning industrial output of military weapons, that doesn't have a functioning currency for much longer.
	All these other enemies of America are going to see hey, this is the moment to attack and take America down.
	Because it turns out that for decades, America has been bluffing.
	It's been bluffing.
	It's been stomping around the world like a giant hulking guy in the gym with his arms all out.
	I'm the Hulk.
	Big muscles.
	Walking around the gym.
	Look at me.
	Look at me.
	Pumping up his chest muscles in the mirror.
	Like, that's America.
	And it's all an act.
	It's all an act.
	If it wasn't an act...
	Ukraine would have already defeated Russia.
	If it wasn't an act, Israel would have already defeated Hamas.
	But those things have not happened.
	Because the U.S. military is a giant paper tiger, the U.S. currency is collapsing, and the U.S. empire is going to have to mature and learn to get along with its neighbors rather than threatening them and using coercion and threats of violence as its primary weapons against the world.
	And this shift of the U.S. from being the world order What do they call it?
	The rules-based order, which is all BS. It just means that we make the rules and we only apply them whenever we want.
	But this shift from the rules-based order to coexistence in a multipolar world, this shift cannot psychologically happen in the minds of the people who run our government and run our military and the people coming out of the East Coast schools and That groom people for the roles of running government and running the bureaucracy and running the deep state and running the intelligence communities.
	They're already ruined because their mindset is rooted in arrogance and incompetence and historical ignorance.
	Their mindset can never be one of, hey, let's get along with the world.
	Or, hey, you know, the era of U.S. dominance is fading.
	Maybe we should learn to play nice with the other kids in the schoolyard instead of running around kicking everybody in the balls.
	But it's not possible.
	This is why the U.S. is going to be defeated.
	I mean, frankly, it's defeating itself.
	It's destroying itself from within.
	Which is, ironically, that's what the Yuri Bezmianov warned about in the 1980s.
	You know, he...
	He escaped.
	The Soviet Union came to America.
	He was a dissident.
	And then he got citizenship, political asylum, and then he gave a series of lectures and interviews.
	He was interviewed by G. Edward Griffin, by the way, decades ago.
	And he laid out the plan of how the Soviet Union was going to destroy America.
	It was like a...
	I don't know, like a seven-point plan or something, and one of them was demoralization, destroy the family, destroy morals, destroy values, destroy the education system, huh, check, you know, check off the check boxes, and then I forgot what all the other ones were, but they were probably things like destroy the rule of law, you know, create racial tension, you know, check, check, destroy the monetary system, check, you know, all these things have happened.
	So America's destroying itself.
	And that's why America can't win any wars, not even a single front war, not even with the Mexican drug cartels.
	But I mostly just, I hope Trump doesn't do that because I don't want my supply of avocados disrupted.
	And the drug cartels are running the avocado trade, which is why you're paying $4 for a jumbo avocado.
	Yes, my smoothies are becoming like $15 smoothies, and I make them myself just because of the drug cartel avocado premium.
	And man, if Trump attacks Mexico, those avocados are going to go to like $10 each.
	That's crazy.
	I don't want to pay that.
	I mean, satire aside, I've said before, and I'll repeat it here because it is relevant, that You know how the U.S. supply chain is very delicate and fragile, and people don't really know alternative places to get the things they need, including food and Home Depot type of supplies and hardware and what have you?
	You know who's really, really skilled at distributing goods to people?
	Drug cartels.
	I mean, that's their business, is they distribute premium things.
	I'm not saying that I support what they're doing.
	Obviously, some of it is quite horrific.
	I mean, sometimes they're distributing rocket launchers or child trafficking or whatever.
	I mean, they're engaged in some heinous crimes.
	But what I'm pointing out is that if they shifted their focus, if circumstances change, let's say there's a collapse of the U.S. banking system, a collapse of the domestic supply chain, You're going to end up getting a lot of your food and seeds and basic goods, car tires or whatever.
	You're going to get them through essentially reformed drug cartel networks because they know how to distribute things.
	They know how to transport.
	They've got networks of logistics that are highly redundant.
	They're actually decentralized node-based distribution networks, which is kind of what defines their drug trade.
	Or you could describe them as terror cells.
	They're cells that don't know about the existence of all the other cells.
	But that structure creates logistical redundancy, which is very handy for the drug cartels as they're trying to move fentanyl or cocaine or whatever they're moving.
	And again, I'm not endorsing that, obviously.
	That's really harming America.
	But what I'm saying is that...
	In the right circumstances, the drug cartels could shift their focus and start distributing food, basic groceries.
	And the guy in your town that will know where to get avocados is probably going to be a Mexican dude who's three steps removed from the cartel, the new generation cartel.
	You know what I mean?
	Like he knows a guy who knows a guy who's got a cousin who knows a guy who's got his hand on the avocado trade.
	You know what I mean?
	And he can get them to you.
	There's just $10 each.
	Okay?
	That's how that works.
	I know I lived in South America.
	This is how it works.
	You need gasolina, you know, whatever you need.
	You need toilet paper.
	You know, you're going to get it from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy.
	That's how it's going to work.
	And you're going to be glad that they know a guy who knows a guy, because otherwise you wouldn't get it at all.
	You know, of course, these supply chains aren't as fast as just-in-time delivery at your local Costco, because, you know, the guy who knows a guy who knows a guy, well, that guy, his daughter, is celebrating her quinceañera right now, and so there's like a five-day delay, so the guy tells the guy who tells the guy who tells you, mañana.
	And mañana means forever, forever.
	In Spanish, by the way.
	I don't know if you know that word in Espanol.
	Mañana means forever.
	So if you ask, when are we going to get the nails to build the wall for this building, and they say mañana, that means forever.
	Basically, eternity is what mañana means.
	Okay?
	I learned that very quickly in Ecuador.
	Mañana, mañana, mañana.
	La mañana, en la mañana.
	It's going to be mañana.
	What does that mean?
	Ah!
	We'll get around to it.
	Anyway, all this discussion underscores the importance of having local networks of people you know who know how to grow food, who are willing to engage in barter and trade, people who have ammo or first aid supplies, people who have emergency comms systems, people who know what they're doing.
	And that is what John Bush is all about with the Exit and Build Land Summit.
	So the URL for that, by the way, and then we'll jump into the interview, is naturalnews.com slash landsummit.
	And just all one word, no spaces, no dashes, obviously.
	Just Land Summit.
	And that'll take you to the affiliate sign-up page where you can either register to watch.
	It turns out a day and a half of it is free to watch.
	I mistakenly said it was all three days.
	That was my misunderstanding.
	It's a day and a half for free.
	Or you can buy a ticket and watch all three days plus extra special immersion events and passes and things like that that John Bush will explain in this interview.
	Now, a couple of quick plugs before we go to that interview.
	The satellite phone store, SAT123, is a sponsor.
	And their satellite phones, of course, will function even when the local cell towers do not.
	When there's a natural disaster, when there's a grid down event, when you need backup comms that work, talk to the satellite phone store, SAT123.com.
	They also make it really affordable.
	So you can just pay a monthly fee.
	You get a certain number of minutes per month.
	And then the satellite phone is free after a certain number of months.
	And then you get to keep the sat phone.
	And you get to keep and roll over the minutes as well.
	So that's going to come in very handy for the backup comms, and they also have, of course, the two-way satellite text messaging devices called BivySticks.
	They've also got a website with solar generators called beready123.com, and they have a new...
	Privacy phone service that's really intriguing, and I'm just starting to learn all about this.
	It's got end-to-end, point-to-point encryption.
	So this means nobody can snoop on your phone conversations, not even AT&T, nobody, not even with a government warrant, nothing.
	And you can find that at phone123.com.
	And I'm going to be talking about that more later and doing some more demonstrations as I get more knowledge about that.
	And you can apply that carrier service and that software package to any phone you already have, including if you have a de-Googled phone.
	For example, if you bought one from abovephone.com, which is one of our sponsors, then you can apply that carrier package, the privacy package, to the de-Googled phone, which is the best of both worlds.
	Very cool stuff out there now for privacy protection.
	But anyway, those are some of our sponsors.
	And of course, visit us at HealthRangerStore.com for your backup food supply needs, your nutrition, superfoods, personal care products, everything laboratory tested, almost everything certified organic, and just premium top-of-the-line product solutions.

	All right.
	With that said, here's the interview with John Bush.
	Welcome to today's interview here in the studio with John Bush at the Brighton Studios in Central Texas.
	John is the creator of the Exit and Build Land Summit, an event coming up live in person in Central Texas, May 17th, 18th and 19th.
	Well, actually, plus farm tours on the 16th and the 20th of May.
	So welcome, John.
	Great to have you in studio again.
	Thanks for having me again.
	Always a pleasure.
	I can't believe it's been almost a year since we talked to you here last time.
	I can't believe it.
	Well, I think we talked once for something that I was doing, this Meet the Experts thing.
	That's right.
	And we talked about crypto and Monero and all sorts of stuff.
	Oh, that's true.
	Yeah, right.
	But I was here last year for the same event, the Excellent Build Lansom.
	That's right.
	So this is the fourth year that you're having the event.
	Fourth year.
	Yep.
	Wow.
	And the speakers are pretty amazing.
	You've got a huge roster of speakers that teach people how to get off-grid, how to become more self-reliant, sustainable with growing their own food.
	Tell us about some of the speakers and some of the topics.
	Okay, well, we're really excited and grateful to have you, Mr.
	Mike.
	Oh, no, I don't count.
	Talk about the real speakers.
	People are excited to hear from you, though.
	I'm just a comedy.
	We're...
	We're excited to have you, but we got Joel Salatin returning, so he spoke at the second Land Summit in person, and we're really grateful he's coming back.
	He's doing all sorts of great work, and he's a renegade, too, so he doesn't just have polyface farms and has the regenerative agriculture with the chickens, but he'll also stick it to the man and do so loudly and proudly, so excited to have him.
	This will be a virtual talk.
	Salatin's in person, but we have David Holmgren.
	He's the co-originator of Permaculture along with Bill Mollison.
	So it'll be really cool to hear his keynote presentation to dive deeper.
	Permaculture is just such a valuable skill set and design framework for food and land and everything.
	Really a lifestyle, too.
	Jack Spirico of the Survival Cup podcast is coming back.
	Nicole Sauce of Living Free in Tennessee.
	We have this woman, Molly Englehart.
	She is most known for running vegan restaurants, really successful vegan restaurants in California.
	Well, they locked her restaurants down, and that was a big eye-opener for her.
	And she moved to Texas, and that led her down a rabbit hole, and she learned how important livestock and animals are to regenerative agriculture practices.
	She recently announced that they're switching the restaurants away from vegan and adding meat.
	Oh, really?
	That's a huge.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So she's really come along on all that stuff.
	So our good friend Cynthia Tina, she's an intentional community expert.
	She'll be there because part of there's a lot of homesteading conferences and off grid survival type stuff.
	But one of our big niches and focus areas is we need to be doing the homesteading, becoming more prepared.
	But let's do it as a community, whether that's buying land cooperatively and actually having a formal, intentional community.
	Or we teach people how to connect with their neighbors and to find other freedom people in their area because they're really a strength in numbers when it comes to this crazy world we're facing.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now, in fact, I have so many questions for you, but let me give out the URL. Go to naturalnews.com slash landsummit, all one word, and that will take you to this landing page.
	And that's our affiliate link, by the way.
	Take you to this landing page, the Exit and Build Land Summit.
	People can register to watch for free the three days, right?
	May 17th, 18th, and 19th.
	The first day and a half.
	It's a three-day conference.
	The first day and a half.
	And for free, because we want to reach as many people, and we've strategically picked some talks that'll be really hard-hitting on the first day and a half.
	Totally free.
	Follow that link.
	But if you want to get a virtual immersion pass, then you watch the full conference.
	You get to watch on Zoom.
	You get to ask questions of some of the speakers.
	You get the replays if you can't make it that weekend.
	And you get all sorts of cool bonuses, too.
	So that's the paid access.
	But then people can also come in person to Central Texas.
	Yeah, there's still a limited number of tickets left, and the in-person experience is really special.
	There's farm-to-table meals.
	So there's farm tours on the 16th and 20th that are optional.
	But the cool thing is, for the conference, we actually source food from the local farms that we visit during the meals, which is really cool.
	That's amazing.
	And I know some of the local farms, too.
	I've toured some of the local farms myself, and they do amazing things.
	And by the way, you may not know this, but it was your conference last year where I was able to connect with Ramiro from Above Phone.
	All right.
	Or maybe you did know that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But Romero's amazing, and his company's been amazing.
	Yeah, he does good work.
	Yeah, and the cool thing about the conference, one of the best features of it, so to speak, is the networking.
	So we really go out of our way to facilitate and encourage that.
	In fact, there's something called Intentional Community Matchmaking.
	Where for two hours on Sunday, we split up into two sessions.
	One is based on geographic location.
	So everybody at the conference, both virtually and in person, that wants to move to Texas to build community.
	They want to go to the Northeast.
	They're doing stuff in Mexico.
	Our brothers and sisters in Europe, God bless them, but the people are doing stuff in Europe.
	We do that.
	And the second piece is like if you're a family, you want to build a homeschool community.
	If you're really into tech and you want to do some crypto stuff, if you're vegan or you're strictly carnivore, some folks don't want to mesh or don't want to have livestock on their property, whatever the deal is with that, we help to facilitate you finding those people.
	So it's not just come into a conference, watch the speakers, go home.
	It's carefully orchestrated to help you find people.
	Because a lot of people, unfortunately, they wake up, they feel all alone.
	But there's no reason to be alone.
	There's so many of us out there, and we're here to help people find the others.
	What I love about your philosophy is you're helping people actually acquire the real skills and local contacts in order to be sustainable, resilient, anti-fragile, as we say these days.
	When systems collapse out there, financial systems, election systems, government systems, we're on the verge of World War III right now with what's going on in the world.
	world is pretty crazy.
	It seems like having that local network built up and having the skills of permaculture food production and being able to barter and trade, being able to have self custody of systems of of value like crypto is absolutely critical.
	So I think you're prepping people for surviving and navigating the chaos that's coming.
	Well, I tell you what, you know, we got the Freedom Cell Network, which is like a little side endeavor, people coming together, working together, participating, buying land, raising the kids together.
	After COVID, there was a huge swell of people.
	We grew the network from 1,000 to 20, 30,000.
	Now there's over 44,000 of us.
	But one of the biggest complaints with the people that are actually active, we call them activators, is, you know, a bunch of people went back to their normal day-to-day lives.
	And so...
	There's a lot of people that are going to be in for a rude awakening because obviously we've stayed active.
	I mean, I'm just in awe of how much activity level you put out.
	We do all sorts of stuff with our little enterprises.
	But there's a lot of people that know there's a problem, but then they get stuck in what Napoleon Hill calls the hypnotic rhythm where you start to be drifting.
	It's actually a book called Outwitting the Devil where there's the driven and there's the drifters.
	And the driven are the ones that live with faith.
	Everything's going to be okay.
	I'm going to take care of myself.
	I have faith.
	The other – the drifters are consumed by fear.
	It's the devil that puts that fear into them.
	That's the whole narrative of the book.
	But regardless, people are caught in this hypnotic rhythm going about the day-to-day life, the 9-to-5 grind.
	Maybe they'll watch a documentary here and there and share some articles on Telegram and feel like they're doing activism.
	But at the end of the day, we need to be taking action.
	We need to be skilling up right now to prepare ourselves for what's to come.
	You don't want to find yourself in a situation where shit hits the fan, martial law, internet shutdown, cyber attack, CBDC gets accelerated, whatever may happen, World War III, and then you're starting to learn those skills.
	You want to have it in play now and you want to have a tight-knit community of freedom lovers to get your back because stuff's going to get pretty crazy faster than we think.
	Absolutely.
	I've been planting trees over the years and planted more trees this year.
	One of the trees I plant are mulberry trees because I've got chickens and the chickens can eat the mulberries so I can reduce my dependence on imported chicken feed.
	And then I get all these fresh eggs every day.
	I can eat them or I feed them to my dogs and my dogs help protect the chickens from the coyotes.
	Total permaculture.
	Systems of integration, exactly.
	Where I have animals and I don't eat my chickens.
	I just eat their eggs, but I have to keep them safe.
	But then I've got all these other types of plants and growing potatoes and growing pears and growing plums.
	And combined with some basic knowledge of food preservation, you can make it today.
	I mean, we have access to more technology to help us with things like irrigation, seed saving, food dehydration, and so on, than ever before.
	I mean, if our pioneers survived, we can survive.
	Yeah, for sure.
	Something came to mind, you know, getting prepared and learning new skills, it's the same thing as planting a tree.
	You know when the best time to plant a tree is?
	Yeah, like 10 years ago.
	The next best time is right now.
	Come to the Exit Build Land Summit.
	But you actually really brought something up great talking about the technology, but then also the natural world.
	So the theme of our event this year is...
	Empowering, what is it, accelerating the eagle and condor prophecy.
	So there's this indigenous prophecy, mainly in South America with indigenous cultures, and it holds that the universe is split up into these 500, the timeline is split up into 500 year epochs, and the most recent one started in 1993.
	And the prophecy holds that the northern American cultures, which has to do with the masculine energy, technology, industrialism, individualism, capitalism, market-based economy, will be at odds with the southern indigenous culture, which is more feminine, connected to the land, more creative, more heart-centered, more spiritual.
	And the northern is more intellectual, right?
	And so it holds that For a long period, the eagle energy, which is the north, will be dominating the condor energy.
	But it's up to us to help bring those two energies in harmony.
	And so what you shared about having the technology for the sprinkler system and everything you're doing with the AI and such...
	There's a way to merge the old school, indigenous, reconnect to the land, harmonious living, communal, not communist, right, but living with one another in a reciprocal way, to merge that with all that technology has to offer, all of the intellect, all of the capital investments, and to really help create a better world.
	And so some of the talks will be in alignment with that whole ethos, and we're hoping to really give people a new perspective on how we can change things.
	I mean, that's fascinating.
	I guess the talk that I'm going to give fits perfectly into that, because I'm talking about an AI tool that is, I'm calling it NEO's arc.
	It's human knowledge that's preserved in this tool that you can access offline with any computer.
	And I see a future, even in a post-collapse future, We're still going to have local technology, local computers.
	You might have solar panels.
	You might have a power grid that works partially or maybe fully.
	But you may not have access to all the cloud-based systems that you had before.
	Maybe cities will vanish in a giant mushroom cloud.
	I don't know.
	Or maybe the Internet just gets shut down because the powers that be don't want people to have access to information.
	What I'm talking about is our AI tool, and I've got some big things to announce there about the massive number of books and content that we've actually taught these systems.
	And you know, John, what's fascinating is we are taking base models that have been put out there by Microsoft and Meta, Which are not honorable companies, in my opinion.
	And then we're retraining them, like the Microsoft Phi 3 model.
	We're retraining it to have knowledge in permaculture, in sustainable agriculture, seed-saving, medicinal extraction, phytonutrition, botanicals, all kinds of things that a person would need to know to be more self-reliant.
	So if you can't ask the Internet and Google is censoring the information that they don't want you to know about, this is a tool where you can ask questions and you can get answers about how to live off grid.
	So it is that marriage that you're talking about.
	It's a perfect example of that harmony.
	And there's a lot of people in both camps, even in our freedom community, there's folks that are kind of Luddite leaning and they reject cryptocurrency because it's technology and they reject this AI thing.
	And then on the flip side, we have folks that are hyper technologically focused, but they don't get their hands dirty in the garden, which is important.
	And I think...
	I've still got dirt under my limited nails from yesterday.
	We're doing the VIP dinner.
	Folks get a VIP ticket, get to schmooze with some of the speakers, and it's at our place.
	So we've been getting the ranch all nice and pretty, which is a work in progress.
	In fact, it'll probably look the prettiest when we have this event, more than it ever does.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	But, yeah, the AI piece, that's super important, and I just want to make the point that a lot of people in our Freedom Camp, I think it's coming from a place of disempowerment, but they feel like...
	That's evil.
	We shouldn't touch it at all.
	Same thing with cryptocurrency and blockchain.
	And I think to have that mindset just seeds over this really powerful technology to our enemies.
	So we shouldn't dabble in it at all.
	We'll just let them create an AI control grid and we'll let them create their CBDCs rather than, well, what can we learn and how can we benefit from these really powerful technologies?
	Well, exactly.
	I mean, back in history, it would be like rejecting the power of the press.
	By the way, Rhodey is saying hi to you.
	Hi, friend.
	He's brought his toys over here.
	But imagine if people, you know, like when the Gutenberg press was invented, imagine if people said, well, we don't want to use the press.
	We'll stick with scribes.
	Yeah.
	You know, it's like, well, you'd be left behind.
	Yeah.
	So the press enabled knowledge to be more easily distributed to lots and lots of people.
	So I agree with you.
	We have to use technology.
	This is a game changer for the world because think about it.
	For the first time, here's a monetary system that can't be counterfeited by the governments of the world.
	I mean, that is the number one.
	I mean, I used to be very skeptical of Bitcoin and say, where is its intrinsic value?
	Well, its number one best intrinsic property is that it can't be counterfeited.
	Sure.
	And it also can't be easily confiscated.
	Or it's almost impossible to confiscate.
	So imagine a world where, let's say, government spending were on the blockchain where everybody could look at it and see, oh, where'd this money go?
	Or imagine if they just couldn't print trillions of dollars and send the money out all over the world while doing nothing for America.
	You know what I mean?
	That's why the establishment hates crypto so much, and that's why they want to control AI so much.
	Recent stories talk about how ChatGPT is just pushing pro-Pfizer vaccine propaganda all day long.
	Well, so that's why you need models like the ones we're building that tell the truth about vaccines.
	And as far as I know, we're the only ones doing it.
	It's just so shocking.
	It's like, you would think there would be more people interested in having AI models that would tell the truth.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, I think a lot of those companies, and it's like the experts, a lot of people that have that knowledge, they gain it from some corporate world or some university, and they're already kind of co-opted there.
	But yeah, you know, with with crypto, it's another example of people wanting to seed that territory.
	And I often struggle with what you shared about the governments using it, because I kind of want governments just to continue to be terrible and corrupt.
	So more people can wake up to the fact that government is not an optimal institution to organize society and we need to be doing it in new horizons.
	horizontal, decentralized ways.
	But, of course, I think the most unethical thing that happens in society and history is the wars.
	So if there's some way to rein in their debt spending and just monetary inflation to put a stop to that, that sure would be good.
	And just kudos to you for your potent stance, the correct stance on what's happening in the Middle East right now.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I am a pro-peace, pro-humanity person, and my principles apply to all people.
	I mean, and a lot of people who I thought were principled actually turns out they're not principled because if your principles don't apply universally, they're not by definition principles.
	But to your point though, the money printing funds the wars, right?
	So if you take away from governments their ability to create counterfeit currency, you take away their ability to fund wars.
	I mean, it's hand in hand.
	That's why they're fighting so hard against crypto.
	Because, I mean, imagine if when the dollar collapses, imagine if all the American people said, you know, we demand an honest monetary system backed by gold that has an honest ledger that can't be counterfeited.
	I mean, if people were, you know, informed enough at that time.
	Yeah, I don't...
	A counter, just a different perspective.
	I think the biggest threat...
	To governments is the peer-to-peer electronic cash aspect.
	The ability for us to conduct business with one another outside of their ability to stop it.
	Oh, yeah.
	And I think my worry, I'm still a Bitcoin guy, right?
	And I do workshops and all sorts of stuff.
	Of course, Monero is the optimal currency, digital currency for trading outside the system.
	That's my favorite.
	It's gold.
	Well, Bitcoin is more digital gold, a store of value, finite supply.
	But where I see things going with Bitcoin, I still encourage people, especially if someone is of means or they've established a nest egg to protect that nest egg from inflation.
	Or they're on the come-up and they finally have more income than their expenses.
	What are you going to do with that extra money?
	First, you should invest in yourself.
	Invest in a business.
	Get a piece of land.
	Plant some trees.
	Plant some trees.
	For sure.
	And the trees can feed the chickens.
	The cycle continues.
	But what I'm concerned about now, which just illustrates why central banks are so damn cunning, because when I first got involved in Bitcoin in 2012-2013, I was like, this is going to end the central banks.
	Now you fast forward, it's like they're so clever.
	They're creating their own central bank digital currency and they're slowly but surely pushing back and attempting to co-opt Bitcoin.
	Of course they are.
	In many ways it's unco-optable, but they can definitely put some pieces into play to weaken its revolutionary properties.
	And so one thing that I'm worried about It's becoming harder to spend small amounts of Bitcoin on-chain.
	And Blockstream, this corporation that pays most of the developers, who has Larry Summers, the former Department of Treasury head, as an advisor.
	They also had a MasterCard as an investor.
	And then there's this guy that's involved with the MIT Multimedia Lab that is also funding and leading CBDC projects.
	And he's also working through Blockstream and working with this Layer 2 company Lightning Network.
	Anyway, long story short, what I worry they're going to do is have people use custodial Bitcoin payments and then hold Bitcoin in reserve.
	And now Bitcoin, unlike gold, it is auditable.
	You have a transparent blockchain.
	If a bank has gold on reserve or a central bank does, we don't know what they really have.
	But I worry that even if a government was on a Bitcoin standard, they would simply just use deception and manipulation to create fake tokens that should be backed by Bitcoin.
	But it's the same thing that happened when banks started pumping out more paper money.
	My co-host Todd Pitner and I, we've had the same discussion on our decentralized show.
	If you don't have Bitcoin in self-custody, it doesn't count, as they say.
	Not your keys, not your coins.
	So you've got to have self-custody of it, and so a lot of these institutional investors are buying Bitcoin, but the Bitcoin's being held by the brokerage firm.
	It's like, okay, so you don't get it.
	Well, Coinbase is actually custodying on behalf of the brokerage firm.
	Coinbase is holding, like, I don't know, this is just a number I don't know the exact, like 80 or 90% of these ETFs, the Black Rocks, Coinbase has it all.
	That's unbelievable.
	I'd hate for the government to come seize that Bitcoin.
	Well, that's the thing, because all these exchanges have to eventually cave in to government demands.
	Otherwise, they'll be put out of business or they'll be arrested, like CZ, right?
	But let's not get deeper in the weeds on this.
	Let's...
	Zoom out to the bigger picture of what your summit is about.
	Again, it's the Exit and Build Land Summit, year four.
	And here's some of the speakers shown here.
	Yep, some of the speakers.
	Oh, you got J.P. Sears coming in, too.
	Oh, yeah.
	I didn't even mention J.P. Sears.
	He's a comedy relief, then.
	He's awesome.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, we're super excited about him because he mixes it all in comedy, but the message that he puts out is so potent, and it's always about self-reflection and being the best versions of ourselves, but then the comedy makes it so accessible for people.
	Definitely.
	He's a local Texan, too, so that'd be great.
	The website to get to this is naturalnews.com/landsummit.
	That will take you here.
	That's our affiliate link.
	Again, you can watch the first day and a half for free just by registering.
	Yep.
	Or you can buy a ticket.
	You can come to the event in person.
	It's in Central Texas.
	It's in Bastrop at the convention center.
	Bastrop convention center.
	Yep.
	That's where we've had it the past three times.
	We really dialed it in so people are going to have a great experience.
	The hotels are super affordable.
	There's also, once you buy your ticket, you're invited to a group with ticket holders, and there's all sorts of people organizing Airbnbs, so instead of paying for a hotel room or a whole Airbnb, you could just rent out the bed, so it makes it more cost-effective.
	We have a really incredible customer service team to help make this as simple and fun and Graceful as possible.
	So there's a limited amount of tickets left, and that's definitely, like I said, the best way to experience the event.
	There's a power in the room.
	Oh, yeah.
	And you've got vendors with tables there, which are fascinating.
	For sure.
	And I remember last year I was buying some dried mushroom blends from one of your vendors there, too.
	Yeah, Stephen Huntsman?
	I think so.
	High Vibe Mushrooms?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He's a cool guy, too.
	We like having him there because he's like a pump-up guy.
	Yeah.
	There's all kinds of really interesting people there.
	And I interviewed several people last year, too.
	I was just walking around interviewing people.
	Good crowd.
	I know you don't mind me doing that.
	No, we don't mind at all.
	We want to put the message out there.
	That's really what it's all about.
	And for folks that are feeling anxious or nervous, maybe they don't do well around big crowds, it's the most laid-back group of people that's out there.
	Yeah.
	I want to encourage people to look at the ticket.
	Again, you can sign up totally for free.
	You get the first day and a half.
	You're going to get tons of value.
	Not to mention you get invited to a private, exclusive Telegram group.
	That's just all people that have signed up for our event in the past.
	So there are folks that are motivated to do this.
	A lot of people are organizing and networking and buying land together just from that group.
	But I want to encourage people to look at coming not as an expense but as an investment because, like you well know, things are getting real.
	We've been in this game for such a long time anticipating it, but it's heating up so fast.
	In fact, I think the timeline is more accelerated.
	I thought it was going to be a frog in the boiling pot all the way to 2030, and you just look around, or at least we see it, but most of the masses look around and they're in a total prison planet.
	Their kids are being birthed with digital IDs, and they're already birthed with social security numbers, but digital IDs, CBDC, you know, but it's a slow, gradual thing.
	But I think because...
	Our side is kicking ass and winning, and the COVID scam didn't pan out as well as they had hoped.
	They wanted to have vaccine passports everywhere.
	They've had to accelerate their plans.
	And they tried to ban ivermectin and zinc and everything.
	That's right, and it's still pushed through.
	And we got crypto and Monero, so they're having to accelerate everything.
	I think things are going to get hot and pretty hardcore really quick.
	So the type of information, not just the information and the networking, But the mindset shift that we are going to deliver to folks that are feeling scared, anxious, and overwhelmed, you're going to leave this event feeling completely empowered, ready to buy the land, ready to meet people, ready to get your hands dirty, ready to make mistakes.
	Because I'm sure you didn't know what the hell you were doing when you built a working AI model, right?
	Oh, man.
	We're figuring it out as we go.
	But a lot of people never have the gumption or the courage to start.
	So in addition to some really solid tips, tactics, and strategies, people are also going to have a mindset shift that's going to give them the momentum they need to help us in creating a better world.
	You know what?
	How much time do I have speaking there, by the way?
	Is it 45 minutes or something?
	45 minutes or so, yep.
	Okay.
	I might actually bring a demonstration of what I learned about building irrigation systems.
	Because when I first moved to Texas and live on a ranch, I was trying to do irrigation with PVC. It's a nightmare.
	PVC with all the glue, all the toxic, and it breaks, and it freezes, and it's not flexible.
	And I've since learned that you use PEX, and then you use what's called the Yupener connectors, which are expanded fittings, and so to connect two PEX pipes without losing throughput, you can't use the kind of connectors where you put crimps on them because it reduces the diameter substantially.
	So there's a PEX tool and there's an expansion tool and expansion fittings that keeps the diameter the same all the way through.
	I have run PEX lines for thousands of feet with good pressure and good flow through for irrigation.
	It's a lot easier to work with, too.
	It's so much easier.
	And again, it doesn't...
	I mean, even if it freezes, it just expands and contracts.
	Who cares?
	It doesn't shatter.
	But I mean, it sounds silly.
	It sounds like, oh, what are you, like a Home Depot expert?
	No.
	This is the s*** that works.
	I mean, sometimes it's just that simple.
	Like, I tried a bunch of stuff that doesn't work.
	And I wasted a lot of money and time.
	Now this is what does work.
	Learn from our mistakes.
	I always knew you, natural news, and we've known each other for a while, but a few years ago I came on and we were talking about, I have a solar system, right?
	And you were like, well, you know, you can pull up a tractor and use it as the diesel generator.
	Right.
	And that's when I was like, oh, wow, that's some really solid wisdom.
	But a lot of people don't know that kind of thing.
	But the folks that are there getting their hands dirty, that have a homestead, that have been doing this for a while, you learn a whole lot.
	And there's going to be, we're gathering a bunch of really cool people that have done just that, that are good teachers, too, to share that knowledge.
	So, yeah, bring the irrigation knowledge.
	Maybe I'll do, like, five minutes on, like, plumbing.
	Okay.
	Plumbing with a health ranger.
	How about that?
	Excellent.
	Okay.
	Water's important.
	Yeah.
	Man, it makes everything possible.
	This is what I've learned.
	I mean, here in central Texas, the summer heat is intense.
	Yeah, it's brutal.
	And you can go, as you know, you've been here a while, you can go, you know, 10 months with no rain sometimes.
	Now, this year has been great.
	Yep.
	And we have, like, amazing, you know, wild grapes and dewberries and everything.
	It's a wild food mecca in the right years when there's plenty of rainfall.
	But other years, everything turns dirt open.
	Yeah, totally.
	You can see, like, halfway to China, the vortex bigger than this one.
	Bring us the money back!
	Yeah.
	But practical skills, bringing water to things, makes it really, it just opens up all kinds of possibilities.
	And also, I don't know if you know this, but doing rainwater catchment, which is something that we do off this building here, Being able to harness water.
	I mean, permaculture, it's a lot about capturing water as it's running off the land.
	But even in a place that a lot of people would consider to be very dry and almost semi-desert-like, if you know how to harness water, you can have plenty of it.
	Yeah, we actually have a client.
	She regularly comes to the Land Summit, and we worked with her on this consulting thing.
	She bought a property.
	She was inspired in part by coming to the Land Summit.
	So don't come unless you're ready to be inspired and actually move on your goals, because I know people tip their toes in the water.
	The time for timidity is over.
	We need to double down now.
	So true.
	Anyway, she got this property out just south of Fredericksburg, and it was rather barren, but she started working with this company, Symbiosis.
	They'll actually be presenting, I believe, at the Land Summit on a panel.
	She worked with this company, and they did the berms and swales, And they structured and designed the land and the slope in a way where the water gets captured.
	And so going back to visit her and seeing the before and after pictures, it's greening.
	She's greening this barren area.
	Molly Englehart of Sovereignty Ranch, she'll be speaking as well.
	She's the woman, the former vegan restaurateur.
	They have a 200-acre property.
	We went to an event with Alex Zek out there.
	It was an awesome transformational event during the eclipse.
	And she's got this 200-acre property.
	You're driving through.
	It's all rocky, all the neighbor's property, and just gray dirt.
	But you get onto her property, and there's grass and all sorts of greenery on the vast fields.
	And so they did that deliberately.
	And it's through permaculture principles and regenerative agriculture.
	So you really can do a lot with land if you know what you're doing.
	And that's a quick tip for buying land.
	One buyer will come in and see a property that's affordable because there's not much to do there.
	But if you have a mindset for permaculture, you can see we're actually sitting on a really high-value piece of land here.
	It's going to take a little bit of time, a little bit of work, and a lot of knowledge.
	But we'll be able to get more acreage per our dollar, so to speak.
	The construction of swales along contour lines is so powerful that what I've noticed on my ranch is if you take, maybe you get somebody with a bulldozer or an excavator, and you just make a small swale along a contour line, so it just holds water, and then five years later, there's going to be a row of trees growing there that you didn't even plant.
	Why?
	Because that's where the water is.
	I've been trying to explain this to people about how we have so much wild food on our ranch in Central Texas because we just don't poison it.
	We capture water and we don't poison it.
	And because we don't poison it, we don't spray 2,4-D, which is the most common herbicide and it's also half the ingredient of Agent Orange.
	By the way, 2,4-D and glyphosate, that's Agent Orange.
	So people go to the hardware store and they buy 2,4-D, and they spray everything.
	Oh, look, we have nice green grass.
	It's a green, nice field.
	It looks like a park.
	No, it looks like death, actually.
	It looks like cancer.
	If you stop spraying that, you're going to get...
	Dewberries.
	You're going to get wild grapes.
	You're going to get wild onions.
	You're going to get trees sprouting up.
	You're going to get all kinds of...
	And then a habitat for rabbits.
	So if you ever think you need to go out and hunt rabbits because you're starving to death and have a nice rabbit meal, well, guess what?
	You're not going to have rabbits if you don't have habitat for rabbits.
	So you need the briars and the brushes and everything where rabbits can hide from coyotes.
	And so stop poisoning the land.
	The land becomes...
	A food forest, even without planting.
	That's the thing.
	And if you want to plant something, even better.
	Yeah, it becomes a Garden of Eden when you just let it be, because that's a big permaculture principle, the polyculture.
	And of course, it was the Rockefellers that pushed the Green Revolution.
	The damn Rockefellers are responsible for so much treachery on this earth.
	Yes.
	They push the green revolution, the monoculture.
	But when you have multiple different species, when you have great biodiversity, then there will be all sorts of stuff thriving.
	And there is a lot of wild and medicinal food and plants on properties.
	My son, when he was just a little bit younger, he just got beyond the days where he'll sit on my lap on the zero-torn mower.
	But I taught him how to use the mower now.
	So that's my proud old man moment.
	He loves it too.
	Anyway, we'd be mowing together and be like, no, don't run over that, Dad.
	That's actually medicine, you know?
	I can't spot it as well.
	But that's one of the skills that he's learned.
	And we're going to be hearing from David Holmgren.
	So for folks that aren't familiar with permaculture, it was Bill Mollison and David Holmgren who, like, you can't say they founded it because it's really just aligning with natural law and natural principles, but they originated it or they put it out to the world.
	And we got literally one of the living legends.
	We've had Jeff Lawton, who's another living legend, and then Paul Wheaton, another living legend here from the U.S. These other guys are in large part from Australia.
	But we're going to be learning from one of the best, old school, been doing it for decades.
	And when you get into this type of permaculture design principles and thinking, it's just another level of Of understanding our natural world and how we interact with the natural world.
	And unfortunately, a lot of people have the mindset where the humans are superior and we dominate the land.
	And of course, we do have the ability to build some cool stuff.
	But if we build it in a way that's not in harmony with the land, then we're going to pay the price inevitably.
	So it's going to be really special to hear from David Holgrim.
	I got to interview him the other day.
	He was on our side on COVID, too.
	All these guys are like, they're not necessarily for a political reason they're on our side, but they're just like, this isn't Right?
	Like, what the heck's going on here?
	So it's always good for the speakers, even if they're these big names in their industry, to learn, like, they saw through the lies.
	I always appreciate that.
	This term permaculture, this has been around for many years, but more recently we hear the term regenerative agriculture, right?
	And suddenly everything's regenerative.
	It's kind of like the new buzzword.
	But regenerative agriculture, to me, sounds almost synonymous with permaculture, right?
	I mean, very much the same principles.
	And if you're practicing permaculture, it is regenerative because the sunlight is the input.
	You've got nature bringing you input.
	You've got the microbes in the soil.
	You've got the birds spreading seeds around.
	You've got the animals playing their role in everything.
	It's all regenerative.
	In your mind, what's the difference between permaculture and regenerative agriculture?
	Great question, and I had the privilege of asking that same question to Jeff Lawton.
	Okay, great.
	Yeah, so you're right.
	Regenerative agriculture is kind of a buzzword, and he kind of was like, oh yeah, that's the latest fad.
	So permaculture, if folks aren't familiar, you can understand permaculture.
	There's these three permaculture ethics, and if your actions are in alignment with these three ethics, then it's permaculture, which is cool to have principles and we act in accordance to principles, right?
	So the first one is care of the earth.
	Not harm in the earth, living in harmony with the earth.
	The next one is care of people, being a good person, being a good steward.
	And the other one is controversial, but the original was return of the surplus.
	So the chicken poop is surplus.
	You go mix it over here.
	You have more yield than you need.
	You take it and put it into the compost, so to speak.
	Because we're talking about people, too, people dynamics.
	So a lot of the more left-leaning took the return of the surplus and call it fair share.
	Which can in some ways be like redistribute the wealth kind of deal.
	And David Holmgren actually used the term fair share.
	And so I kind of challenged him on that.
	And I learned this from Jack Spierko, another speaker.
	He was like really railing on the fair share thing and how that kind of got perverted.
	But he said, you know, really what it's all about is like if you're able to produce enough wealth to where you're taken care of, then it is an ethical thing to do to help further the other two causes.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	So, you know, This event, it's not always a profitable event, but what we do in our business and everything, when we are profitable, we're always just recycling things back into the community, back into the Freedom Cell Network.
	And I would say that's in alignment with that last principle.
	But regardless, so that's what permaculture is.
	It has a lot to do with systems.
	It has a lot to do with one output of system A is an input of system B, just as you said with permaculture.
	The mulberries feeding the chickens and then the chicken poop feeding the compost or the plants, right?
	That's all what permaculture is about.
	Regenerative agriculture is doing agriculture in a way that's regenerative.
	You're not pulling more than exists.
	That's what they use, the term sustainable.
	We try to shy away from Agenda 21 sustainable development language, but same kind of concept.
	And what Jeff Lawton shared was that true permaculture wouldn't have so many fences.
	You have rotational grazing of the cattle as regenerative agriculture, and that's where we try to source most of our beef here locally too, buying it with Bitcoin.
	Although the fees sometimes aren't very optimal for that.
	But he was like, in a true permaculture system, you wouldn't have all the fences.
	It would just be more organic, natural, and there would be multiple different species operating together in the same pasture as opposed to even though we're rotationally grazing the cattle, it's the cattle and the goats are hanging out there.
	And there's some stuff that's coming out from the forest that isn't even part of your livestock crew.
	So I think permaculture is a little bit more hardcore, more consistent.
	Regenerative agriculture mixes in some more agriculture practices, but does it in a manner that's more...
	That's more harmonious with the Earth, I would say.
	It gets all nuanced and complex.
	At the end of the day, both of them are much preferable to what 99.9% of the world is doing.
	Whether you call it permaculture or regenerative or just being a good steward of resources from Mother Nature...
	If you're on that path, you're on the right path.
	Versus the people who are carpet bombing their yard with chemicals like it's Gaza or something.
	It's crazy.
	And then people complain about, oh, everybody's got cancer in our neighborhood.
	Have you looked at what you're putting on your lawn?
	I mean, you know, right?
	I talk about this all the time.
	Like, I go to the grocery store, I look at what's in people's shopping carts.
	Yep.
	In horror, you know?
	And they're painting an arm and a leg for crap food.
	Right.
	And it's weird that the conventional food is the food that's sprayed with chemicals.
	Yeah.
	And that's what's conventional.
	It's like really conventional food is the old way of doing things.
	It's a clown world.
	We're literally trying to...
	We're not trying to, actually.
	We are creating an alternative world that's a return to the roots, the traditional ways, the indigenous ways, but it's...
	Also merging in the technology and the knowledge.
	And we're literally trying to carve out our own autonomous space in the world.
	Because the old way of doing things is failing.
	It's not in alignment with our values.
	It's not in alignment with the earth.
	It's on a fast track to hell.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I tell you what, again, I don't want to get back to it, but I know that you're so passionate about it.
	One of the biggest things that's motivated me more recently is the fact that my tax dollars are funding this nonsense that's taking place in Gaza.
	Oh, it's infuriating.
	It really is so hard to live with.
	So that is another motivation for us to create an opportunity for our freedom community to decouple themselves entirely from the legacy centralized United States BS government, even the county and the state, all of that nonsense.
	And I think if we can shift our thinking, we haven't done it before.
	Like, if I buy chicken feed...
	So the retailer collects sales tax, the chicken feed producer is taxed, inventory taxes, and I have to buy it with after-tax money so there's more taxes.
	Whereas if I grow chicken food, it's not taxed.
	The government doesn't know about it, there's no way for them to track it, the inputs are sunlight and carbon dioxide and water.
	And then I get food, right?
	So growing food is tax-free.
	People need to think about that because taxes are going to be raised next year.
	The Treasury just issued this new guidance.
	They're going to extract even more money from the American people, by the way.
	They're raising all the taxes and the minimum alternative taxes and the corporate taxes.
	Everything's going up, right?
	Because it's never enough, even with all the damn money printing.
	No, it's ridiculous.
	They still need to take more from you.
	It's a Ponzi.
	Right?
	But let me ask you this.
	Given what's happening in the world, also the escalation of war, nuclear war with Russia is a risk right now.
	The UK and France are threatening Putin all the time.
	Massive escalation.
	NATO's lost its mind.
	It's like, we're going to fight Russia, but we can't build anything because we don't have any energy left.
	We're winning the war, but he's a strong man that's going to take over Europe.
	No, it's just bonkers, right?
	But with everything that's happening, and food inflation, and rising crime in the streets of America, are more people now coming to your event, registering for your event, Exit and Build Land Summit, fourth year, are you getting new people now because of what's happening in the world that are kind of just suddenly getting red-pilled, basically?
	No.
	We are getting new people.
	I think it has a lot to do with effective marketing.
	But to be totally honest, ever since COVID, a lot of people went back to sleep.
	So really, I think the big difference is when so, of course, there's always people that are on the fringes that see there's a problem and they have like an activist heart.
	Maybe they're motivated by the injustice that's taking place overseas, or maybe they're just so fed up because they're working their butts off and they're still struggling to make ends meet.
	And then they see money going to Ukraine or whatever.
	And they're like, I'm fed up.
	I've had enough.
	But the bulk of people, even red pilled people that know there's a problem, they're still stuck in that hypnotic rhythm.
	And unless tyranny is right there at the door, as it was with the lockdowns, you cannot leave your home unless you're essential.
	Of course, we left anyway.
	But how hardcore that was, people losing their jobs because they didn't take the shot.
	Unless it's that bad, a significant number of even our red pilled conspiracy freedom, health freedom community are simply going to stay in that cycle of hypnotic rhythm, struggling to make ends meet, feeling disempowered.
	And so to bring it back, again, one of our unique selling propositions for what we do at LibFreeAcademy and for this event.
	It's not a traditional homesteading event.
	There's actually going to be some prayer.
	There's going to be some meditation.
	There's going to be mindset practices, Tony Robbins-style talks, which sometimes turns people off.
	But if that turns you off, then in all honesty, in order to build the world that we're going to build, what's more important than the actual practical how-to is the people that we have to become today.
	To pick up the pieces of society when it collapses and build anew.
	It's going to take a lot of self-development, and I think that we're going to be experiencing some really hard times.
	So even the folks that have their shit together and have a piece of land and know how to grow food and stuff, we're going to be struggling also.
	We're going to see some really hardcore shit in our lifetime, and we need to be prepared for it.
	And nothing accelerates personal development faster than crisis.
	Sure.
	Unless it crushes you.
	Well, right, exactly, which it does to some people, but the people that attend your event, people like you and I, we just become stronger or more resilient, gather skills, we adapt and we overcome, which is, I guess, maybe that's a Tony Robbins type of thing, but I mean, it's just a universal human principle for success, I would say.
	There is an urgency to things now that didn't exist a few years ago.
	I mean, you and I have talked about this years ago.
	It was theoretical.
	Even when you or I were talking about, oh, they're going to crack down on free speech, the First Amendment's going to be shredded someday in the future.
	It was like, ah, that's far off.
	It's never going to happen.
	Now, given actually what's going on in the Middle East, The governor of Texas unleashes police and state troopers to beat students on campus in Austin, not far from here.
	And a lot of the conservative truth movement cheer them on, too.
	Yeah, the conservative truth movement is like, yay, crush the First Amendment!
	Yay, police brutality!
	But then they're complaining when the lockdown protest gets crushed.
	It's like, come on, man.
	Here's what it was.
	Oh, the J6 protesters had the right to peacefully protest, but not students.
	Yep.
	So you're really starting to see this transparency, but also personal development in the sense that to navigate this, you've got to have principles.
	Because if you don't know who you are, you can't navigate this, and it's only hard times that force you to know who you are.
	Yeah, for sure.
	You've got to have confidence.
	You've got to be secure in yourself because there's going to be all sorts of temptations that come along as well.
	That's one of the tools of our enemy.
	The enemy of freedom is to take away privileges, to take away rights in order to try to twist your arm in order to take the shot or in order to comply with the Right.
	Right.
	So we need to have that inner strength.
	And I tell you what, one thing that makes it easier to stand strong with courage is having a whole group of dozens, hundreds or thousands of people that are standing along with you.
	I've been diving deep into Napoleon Hill.
	He wrote Think and Grow Rich, but he's got all this other volume of work.
	And he said, within every adversity lies the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
	And that's exactly what anti-fragile is.
	And I've been through a lot of hell in my life.
	Divorce, living in a broke-down school bus, getting kicked out of apartments, just living in basically right there at poverty.
	You lived in a school bus?
	Yeah, it was cool at one point, but when we first got the school bus, it was not optimal.
	I was like on the door of homelessness.
	Wow.
	And this was back in 2017 or so.
	Wow.
	Yeah, and it led to a hardcore divorce, and it was like a major struggle.
	What about you had low overhead during that time?
	I mean...
	Didn't have to pay much rent.
	That's part of the mindset piece.
	So it's like, yeah, I don't feel like a good father raising my children in this situation where we literally are using a little squatty potty type deal.
	But it makes homeschooling work.
	We're on the bus every day.
	Well, that's it.
	That's the message.
	Getting positive, right?
	So look at the bright side.
	We don't have a mortgage.
	We don't have rent.
	But it was suboptimal, to say the least.
	It was like rusted out and stuff.
	Right.
	Anyway, I could have allowed it to cripple me.
	I could have turned to drugs in order to numb the pain and the hardship, but instead I decided I'm never going to have my children in a situation like that.
	I'm going to show them what it takes to be successful.
	I was also really grumpy and angry at that time as well, but it was major adversity.
	My marriage fell apart.
	There was a divorce.
	There was tons of hardship, but I chose to use it as leverage to become the best version of myself, not only to be a better father, to be a better husband to my wife, I love what you're saying,
	John, because The level of maturity that you're describing from personal experience and living through so many mistakes.
	You know, you and I have been around this industry for longer than most, let's say.
	And you know, when you're young and in your 20s, like a lot of these students, you just have this passion and these emotions just sweep.
	This is wrong.
	Let's go out and protest, right?
	And that's fine.
	And we expect that from people who are 25.
	And that's why I'm not harsh on these students.
	It's like, hey, they're participating.
	More power to them.
	Yeah, as long as they're peaceful, go for it.
	I think it's great.
	And then you hit adversity.
	If you're a professional influencer or author, writer, organizer of events like you are, and a teacher, and you hit adversity, that's when you really find out who you are, and then through that adversity you gain wisdom.
	And then the wisdom now, you can look with the perspective of what's happening in the world, and you can navigate it with a sense of Solutions and optimism toward the future.
	You don't have to spend your whole life just railing on what's wrong, because that doesn't get you anywhere.
	It's okay to warn people about what's wrong, which I do frequently as well, but then it's about solutions.
	You probably even notice it in my own work.
	I used to spend a lot of time just talking about what's wrong.
	Now it's like, hey, guess what?
	These are solutions, decentralized solutions.
	Knowledge, AI, crypto, grow food, whatever.
	You and I are doing the same thing, really.
	And I used to think that some of your messaging was a little bit exaggerating, but now I'm like, man, he was spot on because it's right here knocking at our door.
	That was just early.
	Yeah, just ahead of the curve.
	Yeah, and that's what it's all about.
	We know that there's a problem, and the reason why so many people focus on the problem and sharing and just screaming in anger...
	It's because it's easier to do that than it is to go out, get uncomfortable, learn a new skill, have some anxiety about figuring things out.
	Maybe you make some mistakes.
	Maybe you fail a handful of times.
	But again, if you can tap into that anti-fragile mindset, you see that the failure, in fact, isn't failure.
	It's more of a gift because now you have more knowledge.
	That's right.
	Those of us that are able to see through that and tap into that space, it's up to us to not only pass on the knowledge and help encourage people, but also help people get that mindset right, because it really creates an entirely different reality when you could step into that anti-fragile piece.
	Though it'll be hardship going down right now, and you could be like, What can I learn from this so I don't repeat it?
	Let us also take that to a bigger scale and use history as a teacher and not allow history to repeat itself.
	because the playbook that rolled out with communist china and the cultural revolution and all that stuff under mao that's what they're trying to implement here i don't think it's all communist agenda there's other factors but uh mickey willis's most recent plandemic i think it was plandemic three right uh that was the whole premise of the thing like look at the parallels between what happened in communist china and what's happening right here right now and uh Hopefully that helps to light a fire under people's rear ends.
	Because it's not just about making life better for us and us exiting and going out and getting off grid.
	You've got to understand that if we don't step up, and each and every one of us that's been red-pilled, if we don't do more, It will be a future, like George Elwood described, where it's just a boot stomping on your face.
	But more so than that, all the children will be born into a digital panopticon society with CBDCs, social credit scores, vaccine passports controlling their movement, 15-minute cities where you've got to show your ID and you've got to have a green light to even leave your little district.
	That's what's being built right now.
	And they have a whole lot of momentum.
	Thankfully, they have to operate with deception and mistruth, and all we have to do is just shine in the glory of freedom and the natural world in order to do this.
	But it is going to take building an alternative.
	I think we need to show people there's another way to live.
	I think it's in the UK the Online Harms Act.
	I think that's what it's called.
	But I think that's the law that says they can make you a prisoner in your own home if a court judge decides that you are at risk of committing a hate act online.
	So, wait a second.
	Let me get this straight.
	Wow.
	So you think that I might say something that's offensive to, I don't know, transgenders or whoever.
	The migrants that are coming in.
	The migrants, yeah.
	You know, oh, we need border protection.
	Oh, that's a hate crime.
	Boom.
	Now you're locked down in your home like COVID lockdown stuff.
	Wow.
	Right?
	By order of the court, probably with an ankle bracelet, right?
	And that's coming.
	You know, the tyranny.
	against freedom of speech and the demands that you must obey the narratives on everything from transgenderism to Israel, to Ukraine, to whatever.
	And it's becoming encoded into law to the point where your freedoms are eroding rapidly.
	But I would say that one reason why people want to go to your summit and interact with the people, the speakers, and there are things that happen at your summit that are way beyond what we can describe here, is because, and I'll speak directly to the audience here, If you want to be free, you can only self-select that.
	You are self-selecting your choice to be free.
	No one is going to come do that for you.
	Your senator is not going to save you.
	Your governor is not going to save you.
	Your president, your new president, your next president.
	Trump is not going to save you, folks.
	Biden is not going to save you.
	RFK Jr., not going to save you.
	Nobody is going to save you.
	Except yourself.
	I mean, I don't mean in a religious context.
	Of course, many people would say, well, Christ is going to save me.
	Yeah, but Christ expects you to take care of yourself until he gets here, right?
	So just for those who follow Christ and the rapture and all of that, even that message isn't like, oh, just be a slave until I come back.
	That's not the Christ message.
	It's like...
	Grow food.
	Be in alignment with love and life and light until Jesus returns for those who follow that.
	It's consistent across all belief systems.
	No, I'm totally with you.
	I've actually been exploring Christ and Christianity deeper lately, and I do strongly believe that this is a spiritual battle.
	No matter if folks in our audience are Christians or not, the people that control the large institutions in society are most definitely satanic pedophiles, and they're doing some weird ritualistic kind of stuff, and they are definitely operating from a place of darkness, so we should really...
	Recognize that.
	And what you shared before we started, I don't know if we had already started the interview or not, but I was saying things are accelerating and they're trying to co-opt Bitcoin and they're trying to really accelerate the CBDCs.
	And you're like, yeah, they're willing to kill a bunch of people.
	They won't stop at anything to push their agenda.
	And at this point, because we've been making so many strides, they are like a wild animal backed into a corner.
	And that's when they are most dangerous.
	So everyone definitely should look alive for sure.
	Yes.
	Great.
	And we'll encourage everyone, of course, to use the four firearms rules.
	We won't say anything, but it's expected.
	People, I started concealed carrying, actually.
	One of my friends recently, an older gentleman that I look up to a whole lot, he was giving me a hard time because we were at this men's retreat thing.
	And he's like, so why do you open carry?
	You know, you give yourself up that strategic ground.
	Yeah.
	And I was doing it kind of as a message.
	And it's easy here in Bastrop.
	Nobody even bats an eye.
	But when I would venture into Austin to go visit family and stuff, I'd always be like, I wonder if somebody's going to...
	Like, I went into a Starbucks to pick up something for my young one, a Frappuccino.
	And it was literally a Starbucks with the transgender sign and, like, the gender-neutral restrooms.
	And I'd come in there, open carrying.
	And I know I got a kick out of that.
	But yes, you can carry a firearm there.
	Just everyone be responsible and...
	It'll probably be the safest place in Texas.
	Just keep them in their holsters.
	Keep them in their holsters.
	I don't suspect we'll have to pull them out of our holsters.
	No cheering for, oh my god!
	I'm not going to do that.
	Like a Mexican Independence Day or something.
	No, no.
	So firearms are allowed.
	Keep them in their holsters.
	But that's great because it's safety and security for everybody.
	It's really consistent with the message of what you're teaching, which is personal responsibility, but also community layers of protection, safety, commerce, exchange of information in this case.
	But these are the principles that will keep civilization alive.
	As systems collapse, what's going to rise up out of that are local systems of barter.
	And you have to have safe roads and safe travel in order to have barter.
	And you have to have systems of exchange, which means you have to have monetary systems of value.
	It could be gold or silver.
	It could be crypto.
	It could be whatever's functioning at that time.
	But I love how your event is a microcosm of the solutions that will keep society alive and abundant.
	Yep, that's right.
	And there's a lot of building relationships.
	There's a concert, for example.
	Betsy Dewey's going to be performing along with some hip-hop artists.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yeah.
	That sounds fun.
	Yeah.
	So there's a concert.
	We like to have a good time, mix it up.
	For folks that have a VIP pass, we're actually going to be hanging out at our homestead.
	Having a really incredible catered meal from a local regenerative ranch that we purchased from.
	Like, really top-notch steaks and all sorts of stuff.
	You had awesome food last year.
	I was just blown away.
	That's a huge element, because it's part of the experience.
	It's not just come and learn.
	We're trying to create an experience so people are more open to receiving the message, which is like, the time is now.
	And yes, the systems are collapsing.
	before those systems collapse, so we're not left in some frantic state of disorder and chaos.
	We've already inhabited the new systems, and even if these systems don't collapse, it's my hope.
	And this may be a multigenerational thing, which a lot of people don't think that big picture, but we need to be thinking on those terms.
	Our enemies most definitely are thinking big picture, not in the next election, but multiple generations, and they're passing on the work to their kids or their tax-exempt foundations.
	Absolutely.
	So we're trying to think big picture, and we're just getting started.
	Like, what happened with Bitcoin?
	What happened with all these alternatives like Odyssey and Brighteon, right?
	So, like, they push, and then we're like, well, we're not going to complain and whine.
	We're going to build these alternative systems.
	This infrastructure is slowly but surely being built.
	And so it's my hope that we can accelerate that so one day, whether these systems collapse or not, very likely they'll collapse, and whether they collapse or they transition into the Great Reset, we have carved out political autonomy, Peace, prosperity, and the ability to take care of ourselves outside of their systems.
	And that is the mission of the event.
	It's my personal mission.
	We share that mission.
	Our slogan has morphed over the last six months to building the infrastructure of human freedom.
	Love it.
	That's what I say every day on my podcast because that's what we're doing.
	Let me plug your event one more time.
	It's the Exit and Build Land Summit.
	And it begins May 16th for the farm tours.
	And by the way, you get to it at naturalnews.com slash landsummit.
	We'll show that on screen for you.
	We'll get you here.
	That's our affiliate link.
	You can watch the first day and a half free of charge just with registration, or you can choose to purchase the special access pass, or what do you call it?
	The virtual immersion pass.
	You watch on Zoom and we try to craft it in a way where you're kind of there because the Zoom participants are up on a big TV and you can actually ask questions of some of the speakers just like the people in the audience can.
	So it's immersive.
	All right.
	That's really cool.
	And then...
	You've got the meals.
	You've got all kinds of special things going on.
	That's going to be amazing.
	We have childcare set up, too.
	So there's actually going to be a professional who does entrepreneurial work.
	So it's a very low ticket on top of your ticket.
	And then your kids, like ages 5 or 4 to 15, they can come watch the event if they want.
	Or they can go and work with the other kids to produce little products.
	and then they're gonna sell it to the adults and their friends on the last day.
	- Oh, really?
	- Yeah.
	- So yeah, a little bit of innovation.
	- Yep.
	- Very cool.
	- Yeah, so there's something for the kids too.
	- Okay, and there's no like drag queen story time for the kids?
	- No drag queen story time, no, no, none of that.
	- Okay, I was just checking.
	- No, and you don't check your pronouns on the name badge.
	Although Rebecca, my wife today, oftentimes with a face, but I owe her a whole lot of credit because she's the producer and she's the one organizing the actual event.
	I'm doing everything I can to fill the bodies in the event, but she's actually leading the volunteers and putting the whole event together.
	But she was buying name tags on Amazon today and she came across some that have the pronoun checkbox.
	So we thought about buying some just as a gag when people show up.
	That's funny.
	All right.
	Well, and I'll be speaking at the event, I think, Friday late afternoon, something like that.
	And I've got a special surprise for the audience at that time.
	Can I request some, like, a music track?
	Sure.
	Yeah, we actually have an ecstatic dance DJ named Swahi, who's a cool freedom guy.
	So I can just ask the DJ. Yeah, we'll ask the DJ. This guy, let us know as soon as you can.
	We'll get that all queued up.
	But this guy, Swahi, during the peak of lockdowns, There's this whole ecstatic dance movement.
	Me and Becca dabble in it.
	It's really great.
	It's called ecstatic dance.
	It's electronic music, but it's kind of tribal, not just like traditional techo.
	I love it, yeah.
	And people dance real fluid, and it's always the most beautiful, healthy people you can imagine.
	Sometimes a little scantily clad, but always tasteful.
	But...
	Everything was shut down.
	So it's this whole movement of people.
	It's very popular in Austin.
	Everything was shut down.
	A lot of the folks that are more spiritual, somewhat new age, not of the devil.
	Everyone thinks new age equals the devil.
	That's not the case.
	They were like all leaning into the whole COVID narrative, right?
	And so this guy Swahi, he's like, you know what?
	It's time.
	I'm going to host an ecstatic dance in the middle of the lockdowns in Nevada City.
	Right.
	He hosts the Ecstatic Dance.
	There wasn't a huge turnout, but there was, you know, 100 people plus, a couple hundred people, and he got the backlash of the mob like no other.
	So, anyway, I was at an Ecstatic Dance event recently, reminiscing with him about that.
	Like, remember how everybody freaked out when you did that event and, like, hated you?
	He's like, yeah, most of those people slowly worked their way back into the dance movement.
	I was like, did anybody ever apologize for trying to cancel you?
	He's like, no.
	Nobody said, but I don't mind.
	Whatever.
	That's just how people are.
	But anyway, that's the DJ. At the beginning of my segment, then, for your event, I'm going to invite people up to do ecstatic dance with the DJ. We're going to turn the lights down, and I've got something really dramatic to do during that time that will be a perfect fit.
	All right.
	I'm looking forward to it.
	Okay.
	All right.
	This will be fun.
	We're not all going to drop acid or anything, Mike.
	No, no, no, no.
	I'm just kidding.
	No, it involves flow arts.
	Cool.
	I'm a long-time practitioner of a certain flow art that I haven't done publicly for like 20 years.
	Oh, right on.
	I'm going to bring it back for your event.
	Let's go.
	Yeah, why not?
	That'll be fun.
	It'll be fun.
	It'll be truly psychedelic.
	Cool.
	All right, so the event, again, is Exit and Build Land Summit for...
	And that is, again, naturalnews.com slash landsummit will get you there.
	And you're going to learn.
	This is a life-changing type of event.
	And thank you, John.
	I just got to say, in wrapping this up today, I'm honored to know you.
	I respect and admire your work here.
	And what you're doing is pivotal for the rebuilding of our society.
	So just thank you for what you're doing.
	It matters.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate that.
	Absolutely.
	And right back at you.
	I see all your posts on social media, and I think that you have a consistent voice when a lot of people get led astray.
	So I know a lot of what you said probably got some backlash or maybe some people that turned their backs on you, but you're staying true to your principles, and I think that's the most important thing we could be doing right now.
	That's ultimately what we live with, is whether we lived a life of principles or just got easily compromised and distracted.
	In any case, again, exit and build Land Summit 4, and it happens May 17th, 18th, and 19th in Bastrop, Texas, with the farm tours on the 16th and the 20th, right?
	Optional farm tours.
	If you can just come to the conference, that's great.
	And, yeah, sign up for free, first day and a half, or get a virtual immersion pass.
	It'll be like you're practically there.
	All right.
	Sounds good.
	Thank you so much, John.
	Pleasure to have you here in studio today.
	Thanks.
	All right.
	And thank you for watching today.
	Of course, Mike Adams here with Brighteon.com.
	I'm honored to be a speaker at this event.
	It's going to be loads of fun.
	You're going to learn a lot.
	This is going to be a life-changing event.
	So if you can get to Central Texas in person, join us in person.
	If not, join us online, and you'll still have an amazing amount of knowledge that you take away from this event.
	So again, naturalnews.com slash land summit.
	And thank you for all your support.
	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 And the mass of the gold that's in these bills.
	And check out the different designs here.
	Let's see if you 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.
	Let's see if I can 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...
	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.
	Here it is.
	This is the Shield Arms magazine.
	It's vastly superior to Glock 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.
	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 Brightown.io.
	And if you go to that website, Brightown.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.
	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 brightown.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 brightown.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 magna-cut 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.
	Now 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.
	2384.
	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.
	You can look at gold coins like U.S. Mint coins.
	Real-time pricing online.
	And they have discreet, secure, guaranteed delivery, insured.
	So check them out at metalswithmike.com.
	They are our gold and silver sponsor for the coins.
	So those are some of our sponsors, some of the solutions that we offer, some of the free things that are available to you.
	Whatever you do, make sure that you're getting prepared for what's coming.
	Grow more food.
	Save your garden seeds.
	Get more items at the grocery store that you can even stockpile that will last a longer period of time.
	Try to get out of the dollar into things that will hold value, whether it's gold and silver or something else.
	Maybe you're going to buy a piece of land.
	Maybe you're going to stock up on ammo or diesel fuel or something that holds value.
	But take action now because the world is becoming more chaotic.
	Time is running out.
	Thank you for supporting our sponsors and supporting this platform.
	We appreciate you.
	That keeps us going.
	It allows us to build the free tools that we're giving back to you, such as the AI tools as well as the Brighttown.io platform.
	But together, we can make it through all this, and then we'll be the ones who get to help rebuild society on the other side of the collapse of this current system.
	And it is collapsing.
	But get prepared now while you can, and thank you for all your support.
	I'm Mike Adams here of HealthRangerStore.com, as well as Brighteon.com.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
