Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Tuesday, May 28th, 2024.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
I really appreciate you and all of your support over the last 24 hours since we filed this massive historic lawsuit.
Against Google and Facebook and Twitter, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, NewsGuard, and several NGOs that are overseas.
We filed that lawsuit.
I covered it yesterday.
And in the podcast yesterday, I asked for your support.
And I got to tell you, it's just been overwhelming how much support we've received over the last 24 hours.
I mean, I'm really touched by...
Not just the number of people who ordered from our store to help support us financially.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your financial assistance by purchasing our products.
But also, we were contacted by so many people who wanted to do interviews.
So in alternative media, I'll be doing several interviews over the next few weeks, and I'm sure more are coming in.
And also...
Some people wanted to join the lawsuit because what we described in our lawsuit has been happening to so many other people, good people, truth tellers, American patriots, people who love their country and who love humanity and are good faith people simply trying to help their fellow humans. people who love their country and who love humanity and
And these people have been silenced by this collusion between big government, overseas NGOs and big tech in this scheme that we call the censorship industrial complex.
And that's what's outlined in our lawsuit.
And if you want to read the lawsuit yourself, I know some of you listening are former attorneys or current attorneys.
You can read the complaints of civil action.
We've got the filing number there as well.
Just check my story on naturalnews.com.
Top of the left-hand column is the story, and in that story is a link to the PDF of the complaint.
Or those of you who are active attorneys, you can look it up by the We're committed to this process.
I can't thank you enough for all your support.
We are fighting for the right of all of us to be able to speak freely.
And one of the things I heard yesterday, throughout the day, was people saying how thankful they were that we were willing to stand up for the rights of Americans.
And I was surprised by how many people said, it's very brave what you're doing.
It's brave.
It's courageous.
It's gutsy, I've heard.
I don't know that we have any other option.
I mean, is it brave to do what is necessary to survive?
No.
I don't know.
I mean, I appreciate the comments, but as far as I'm concerned, this is an existential issue.
If we don't stop this government censorship collusion, we are all gone.
I mean, we won't be living in a society where we are free to do anything.
Because they'll just keep expanding the thought police to cover more and more things until everybody is required to speak and think.
Only government-approved narratives, sir, yes, sir, obedient, complicit Americans, automatons, just spoon-fed today's brainwashing buffet.
And that's all you're allowed to say.
That's where this is going if we don't stop it.
And that's why we're taking a stand.
That's why we filed the lawsuit.
That's why we're committed to spending millions of dollars if that's what it takes.
And years in the court system if that's what it takes.
Even all the way to the Supreme Court if that's what it takes.
We're committed to it.
We're going to fight for your right to speak.
And we're working to dismantle The big government, big tech, censorship, industrial complex, and restore the right of free speech to all Americans.
That's what we are doing.
And again, thank you for your full support.
We've got a lot of news to cover today, but if you want to support us today in our lawsuit efforts, if you missed the story yesterday, all you have to do is shop at healthrangerstore.com.
Just shop there.
We've got the world's cleanest foods and superfoods and preparedness items and nutritional supplements and personal care items.
Hundreds of products to choose from that can enhance your life and protect your health.
And if you just shop there, we earn a profit on every order, you know, a fair profit.
And instead of just pocketing that or doing stupid things with profit money like buying...
I don't know, what do people buy?
Um...
Like buying jet skis or whatever.
No, we put it into the lawsuit.
We put it into attorney's fees and filing fees and upcoming deposition fees and so on in order to fight this battle.
So support us at healthrangerstore.com and thank you in advance.
Now we're going to start out with some economic news and you know the economy is in bad shape when the dollar stores start going bankrupt.
And I'm saying dollar stores as a generic name for all the low cost, you know, 99 cent, whatever.
I'm not saying dollar stores as a name.
But here's a story out of KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles.
The death of the dollar store.
For years, dollar stores were a fixture in nearly every strip mall in California, offering cheap household goods, bread and produce, and even toys and gifts.
But 2024 may be their swan song.
California-based 99 Cents Only announced it's closing all 371 locations after decades in business.
Yeah, think about it.
The 99 cent store, the whole chain's going out of business.
Because apparently, people can't even afford 99 cents.
The retailer blamed economic factors, including rising levels of shrink, which means theft, shoplifting, inflation, and shifting consumer demand.
That has presented significant and lasting challenges.
Yeah, consumers, fewer and fewer consumers can afford even 99 cents.
And so they're stealing.
They're stealing.
Remember the story I mentioned yesterday that a farmer's market man who has peaches, someone looted his peach tree, stole his fresh peaches off his tree.
Man, that's the pits.
But it's like, who steals fresh peaches?
But somebody did!
I'm like, my God!
So, of course, people are looting the dollar stores, the 99 cent stores, and whatever.
And what can a dollar store buy with enough margin now, with the collapsing dollar, to where they could even sell it for a dollar?
I mean, I suppose they'd have to buy these goods at 40 cents or something.
To be able to retail them for a dollar, maybe they buy them at 50 cents.
But pretty much a retail, you know, those local retailers, because they have high rent in high foot traffic areas, they have to double their money on everything.
And so what can you buy, even from China, for 50 cents or 40 cents that's worth...
That anybody wants.
Because the dollar is worth so little now.
What do you get for 50 cents?
Oh, here's a little plastic box with five rubber bands in it.
Oh, wow!
That's such a great deal!
I did a video a couple years ago where I went to a local dollar store and I shopped there and I filmed it and I showed what you could get.
For a dollar, you know, some cases it was, well, I think it was $1.25 even at that time.
It's probably more now.
But I noticed that, yeah, you can buy a little bottle of, let's say, ibuprofen, you know, anti-inflammatory painkiller.
You can buy a little bottle of ibuprofen for $1.25 even at that time.
But how many ibuprofen pills does it have in it?
I forgot the exact number, but it seems like it wasn't many.
It was like five, like five pills for $1.25.
So you're paying 25 cents per ibuprofen pill, like 200 milligrams or whatever it was.
And that's a ripoff because even Amazon sells bottles of ibuprofen pills for like eight cents a pill or whatever, you know, in bulk.
So even people shopping at the dollar stores are often getting ripped off, in a sense, or they're not doing the math, I guess, and they're not getting a good value for their dollar.
And believe me, if you're buying five pills at a time to stock your medicine cabinet, you're probably overpaying.
It reminds me of when I used to live in Ecuador.
And when I lived in Ecuador, I learned that a lot of the people in South America, they're really living paycheck to paycheck.
It's not even a paycheck.
It's just like dollar to dollar.
And they're using the dollar in Ecuador at the time.
I think they still are.
But a lot of the Ecuadorian people, and this is true in Peru and many other South American and Central American countries, They would go to a local store and they would buy the spices just needed to make tonight's dinner.
They would buy like a spice pack.
And it might be 50 cents, let's say.
Still overpriced.
Still crazy overpriced.
But they couldn't afford to buy a spice rack.
Or to have, you know, like a spice jar even.
It was just, these are the spices for tonight.
There it is.
It's got paprika.
It's got pepper and salt.
And it's in a little plastic baggie.
It is.
It's like wrapped up, like somebody just mixed it up, put it in a little plastic baggie with a rubber band around it, and it's 50 cents at the local market.
Okay?
People would do that all the time.
And at the local pharmacies in Ecuador, you could buy one pill at a time.
And what's also fascinating is you could buy all kinds of pills for all kinds of things that you can't buy pills for in the U.S. No prescription needed, you know?
If you needed painkillers or Viagra or, I don't know, antidepressants or anything, you could get it.
Maybe that's changed now.
I don't know.
But as I remember, people were going in and buying whatever they wanted, and they were buying pharmaceuticals per pill.
I mean, think about that.
Of course, you're overpaying.
Even though one pill might be $1, it's still overpaying.
If you're living in South America, can you afford to spend $1 a day for an antidepressant?
Probably not.
That adds up, especially at the low earnings that most of the local people experience there.
But now we're seeing...
Very similar type of thing in the United States, especially among blue cities.
As the dollar is collapsing in value and as people become increasingly impoverished and Biden's economy is just a horrific nightmare of failed economic policies, you're going to see more and more people, even unable to afford dollar stores, turning to theft and shoplifting and stealing peaches off fruit trees.
And also then, if they do have money, they're going to be buying things in very tiny, short-term quantities just to make it through the next day.
And I'm warning you about this to tell you what's coming.
Now, just as context, I understand most of the listeners of this program, compared to the rest of society, you're pretty well off.
You're pretty well off.
You've done well for yourself.
You've contributed to society.
You've earned.
You've saved.
You know how to do math, right?
I mean, you've...
You've pursued strategies to minimize taxation legally.
You've perhaps invested in gold and silver, and you see how much that's increasing in dollar value now.
I mean, you've made a lot of smart decisions in your life because you're capable and because you're a long-term thinker.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be listening to this.
But you live in a society, you and I together, we live in a society that Where we are surrounded by people who mostly do not possess these attributes that I just described that you probably possess.
Most people are short term thinkers.
Most people can't do basic math.
They don't know how to make change or calculate a 15% tip at a restaurant in their head.
A lot of people, they don't understand, of course, compounding interest at all.
They don't understand why they can never seem to pay off their house or their credit cards because they're not on top of the numbers and what's happening.
And so they're constantly victimized by high interest rate cash advances and credit card loans.
And also even with housing.
They don't know the simple trick.
Like when I first bought my very first house, and I think it cost $120,000 or something in that range.
I think it was $120,000, which seemed like a lot of money at the time.
Did you know that you can pay off your house a lot faster if instead of making one monthly payment, you just make half that payment every two weeks so that you're actually...
Spending less time borrowing money because now you're paying two weeks ahead for half of the money that you owe.
So that's taking down the principal that you owe much more quickly.
And if in the early days of a 30-year loan, if you can pay a lot more extra in the first one to two years, you can cut off five years of your 30 years.
You can save yourself literally...
This house was, let's say, $120,000.
Normally, over a 30-year loan, you might be paying $400,000 for that house.
But if you do what I did, just pay a little bit more, pay early, you can save yourself $100,000 or even $200,000 on the house just by paying extra.
So I worked hard, probably as many of you did, and I paid extra, paid extra, paid extra, paid And over a few years, paid the whole thing off.
Working my butt off, my wife and I both worked long hours, and we paid off that house in just a few years.
And I got to tell you, from that day forward, I never took a home loan again.
I never wanted to live in a home that I did not own.
I never wanted to be in a position where the bank could take it away from me.
And you probably know what I'm talking about.
You've worked to get ahead, to own the roof over your head, to own your vehicles, to own your land, to not be beholden to the banks and the lenders and so on.
But again, you and I live in a society surrounded by people who don't make those decisions, and they are increasingly one day away from destitution.
Or one paycheck away from a financial crisis.
Some of them are just one day away from famine, you know?
Seriously.
So when you see 99 cent stores collapsing, dollar stores, you see them going out of business?
This is a sign.
This is a sign of what's happening in America.
The economy is absolutely crumbling.
And this same story out of KTLA, LA, This story says that fast food has become a luxury in the U.S. Seriously.
So, if a family takes the kids out to McDonald's, that's like a luxury trip now.
That's a big deal.
Whoa!
We're going to get hamburgers and french fries and cricket McNuggets or whatever.
That's a big deal.
You know, when I was growing up, McDonald's was considered...
You know, that's not the fancy place that you take the family to.
When I was growing up, my parents would take us to something like a higher-end, like a Chinese food restaurant or someplace like that.
Not a fast food, but a higher-end restaurant, right?
Now, fast food is the luxury.
Pretty soon, just eating something that's not crickets or bugs is going to be a luxury.
Fresh fruit is going to be a luxury.
Mark my words.
Real meat is going to be so expensive, it will also be a luxury.
In many ways, we're already there.
So everything that you're getting right now in terms of quality food that you're stockpiling or learning to grow food, which is even more important.
I mean, all of this is going to pay off for you, but think about the value of planting a fruit tree.
I love having fruit trees.
And some trees can produce very quickly, like mulberry trees.
You know, they can produce sometimes the same year that you plant them.
Some peach trees can produce the next year if you bought...
Like a three foot tall peach tree at a local hardware store or nursery or whatever.
You can get some peaches off of it the next year.
Plums, cherries, apples, pears, all kinds of trees can start producing in the second year if they're sufficiently sized in the first year.
The value of what you're going to get off of these trees if you choose to grow some of your own food, the value is going to be absolutely priceless.
I mean, what will, let's say, Three years down the road, what will a large, organic, Asian pear cost at something like Whole Foods Market?
One pear.
What will it cost in three years?
$25?
I'm guessing.
I don't know what they cost right now, because I don't shop at Whole Foods, but I would imagine like $5 probably now, if you can even find them, and the dollar is going to lose half its value probably in the next year, so it'll be $10 in one year.
And then in two years it'll be $20.
You know what I'm saying?
You'll pay $20 for an organic Asian pear if you can afford it at all.
Or you can grow them essentially for free.
Essentially for free.
Oh, that reminds me.
I just want to plug my friends over at patriotgreenproducts.com because they're not paying me to say this or anything.
I don't earn anything off the sales over there.
But they're such great people.
They gave me some compost before to try out, and they have all kinds of great soil products and also the biochar amendments that are really amazing for soil.
Increased water retention, increased microbial life in the soil, helped detox the soils in many ways and so on.
But that's patriotgreenproducts.com.
You can order big tote bags of soil, potting soil, from them to save a bundle on potting soil.
They ship all over the country, by the way.
And we're really at the point where whatever you invest in, let's say, fruit trees at your local nursery or garden seeds, just getting heirloom non-hybrid seeds.
We have seed kits in our store, by the way.
Or maybe you can get them locally or trade something with some local people for some of their seeds.
Give them some gold backs.
Hey, would you like gold for your seeds?
I imagine a lot of people would say, yeah, we'll take gold for seeds.
How much gold you got?
We got a lot of lettuce seeds over here, by the way.
But whatever you're investing in growing food, the payoff is going to be enormous in the years ahead.
And that's why it's also important to think about where you're planting these trees.
Because if you're planting trees sort of close to the road, if you live, let's say you live like 200 feet off the road, Your house is 200 feet away from the road.
But then you've got fruit trees that are up near the road in the front of your yard.
You're not going to be able to protect those fruit trees very well.
And as the fruit tree looters get more aggressive, because of course they're starving to death and everybody's desperate and the dollar is collapsing, you're going to lose the fruit at the front of your yard.
So think about putting fruit trees in your backyard where you can protect it.
Or where people don't even see it?
I mean, start thinking about guerrilla gardening here.
Where can you grow fruit or even vegetables or whatever you're planting?
Grapes, blueberries, all kinds of great stuff.
Where can you plant it that is going to be safe as the looters get a lot more desperate?
There's an important question to consider.
Kind of makes you wonder if nobody can afford the dollar items at the dollar stores.
What's next?
Dime stores?
But then again, what can you get for a dime?
Nothing.
What are they going to have?
Like a little plastic box with two thumbtacks in it.
It's like, what?
Here's the eraser pulled out of a pencil.
You can have that for a dime.
Not the whole pencil.
Just the eraser part.
Which isn't even made of rubber anymore.
It's synthetic.
Or for a dime, you could get a small bottle called Scent of Ibuprofen.
It doesn't actually contain any ibuprofen, but if you open it up, it smells like it once did.
That's the dime store.
Oh, can you imagine?
But you remember the shift was from Target to Walmart.
This was happening over the last few years because Target was always considered a little more upscale.
So a lot of Target shoppers were moving to Walmart, right?
Walmart's generally known to be a little bit lower price.
And then at the same time, a lot of Walmart shoppers were shifting to the dollar stores.
It was like, we can't even afford Walmart.
Walmart's a luxury in 2024 in Joe Biden's economy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if, if you don't believe me that it's a luxury, just look at all the high quality people and the way they dress at Walmart, you know, with their flip flops and yoga pants, you know, like midriff, ultra tight t-shirts, exposing large bellies and whatever, or like exposing large bellies and whatever, or like overweight men with butt cracks showing all as they're walking around Walmart.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a, it's a real special kind of clientele there.
Um, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I've shopped at Walmart occasionally, too.
I'm kidding.
But it is funny.
If you've ever seen people at Walmart, it is kind of funny.
But if you're downgrading from Walmart to the dollar store, then your household is in economic stress.
And then if you're downgrading from the dollar store to, like, we're just living in poverty now, things are bad.
That's where a lot of Americans are unfortunately going.
Now, Let's talk about the economic costs associated with driving electric vehicles because there was quite an interesting story out of the Telegraph.
It says electric car drivers face astronomical costs to replace tires.
It says that car lover Jim Bassett managed just 7,500 miles in his brand new Volkswagen ID.3.
Is that a Volkswagen?
Is that a model?
I don't even know.
Before being quoted more than 300 pounds, this is British pounds, to replace the rear rubber.
Okay, just go with the British language here.
We would call these tires, but I guess they call them rubbers or whatever in the UK. Okay.
So he said, he was told it was a common practice for the rear tires on his Volkswagen to degrade rapidly due to the weight of the electric vehicle.
How much does this electric vehicle weigh?
1,800 kilograms.
Oh my goodness!
Wow!
The same as a Jeep Wrangler 4x4.
That's really heavy for a car.
And it turns out that EVs are really, really heavy because of the batteries.
And as a result of them being really heavy, not only do they burn through and turn through tires like nobody's business, but they're also tearing up roads.
And so they are, in effect...
Invoking increased maintenance costs along all the roads in the cities where people tend to buy EVs.
And this guy said, I'm quite old, he's 80, and I've had cars all my life.
I've never had to change tires this early.
It's normally been at around 25,000 miles.
But this amazed me as at 7,500 miles, most tires should be considered virtually new because But these were shot.
You know, these were gone.
So not only are EVs incredibly expensive to repair, they're also very expensive to maintain because you have to replace the battery pack after a period of time.
They're very slow to charge, obviously, taking many hours, typically.
They weigh more than what the car parking lots, the parking garages, what they're designed to hold.
Well, the EVs exceed those thresholds, by the way.
And then on top of that, you've got to pay more for the tires.
A lot more, like triple.
So what's not to like?
Higher insurance costs?
Higher tire costs?
Higher maintenance costs?
More weight?
Tearing up asphalt all over town?
Yeah.
Maybe somebody would just drive it back and forth across some of those LGBT rainbows that are painted on the crosswalks.
You know, sometimes some people like to burn rubber on those things, you know, to try to deface the LGBT rainbows.
It's like, why are they painting transgender rainbows on our crosswalks anyway?
That seems crazy.
There's no other...
You know, religion or movement that's allowed to just paint and graffiti the whole city.
But anyway, some people are burning rubber on those things.
I'm just thinking all they really had to do is buy an EV and just drive back and forth without even trying to hurt it, and the heavy EV would tear up the crosswalk.
I wonder, would they be charged with a hate crime?
I was driving an electric vehicle, like Al Gore said.
I'm so sorry that the transgender rainbow got torn to pieces.
I'll tell you, the more I read about EVs, the more these gas and diesel vehicles look really great, by the way.
Low maintenance costs.
You can refuel them in minutes.
They don't spontaneously just explode and catch on fire.
And if they do catch on fire, the fire department can put out the fire.
Unlike an EV that just burns like some kind of fusion power plant from another world that nobody can extinguish, you know?
Melting the frame of the car.
It's like, I'll stick with the diesel engine, actually.
It seems to be working quite well.
Now, speaking of transgender crosswalks and so on, this is interesting.
Here's a story from Information Liberation, a DEI expert on white supremacy.
Okay, now DEI means what?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Basically, it just means woke policies.
So a DEI expert on white supremacy laments that no one will hire him because he's white.
Yeah, apparently this man, his name is David Austin Walsh, He says, he posted this on Twitter, it looks like, quote, I applied to something like 40 jobs this year.
All but four of them were AFAM, oh, African American, and or race ethnicity positions.
And despite my work explicitly being about white supremacy, I stand no chance of being hired for those positions.
So, Here's an academic researcher who covers white supremacy, which is mostly just a made-up thing.
Let's be honest.
You walk around town, do you see white supremacists everywhere?
Nazi flags.
If you see Nazi flags being waved around, it's FBI guys dressed up as white supremacists.
It's theater, you know?
But this guy...
He's running around talking about how bad white supremacy is and exposing the far right, which is basically he's at war with white men, in essence, and then he's very saddened that he can't get hired because he's a white man.
Well, gee, there's two dots that need to be connected.
Did you ever figure that your work is worsening your job prospects?
I mean, come on.
As Chris Minahan writes, says, yeah, you know you're living under white supremacy when you're systematically discriminated against for being white.
Yeah, right, because that's the way white supremacy works, right?
So some other people commenting on this.
The academic who researches the right realizes he can't get a job because he's a white male.
He complains, gets laughed at by a woman at Yale.
He accuses her of punching down at him, thinking that his lack of employment makes up for his race and sex, you know, being a white man.
Talk about a teachable moment.
Yeah.
Yeah, seriously.
Talk about a teachable moment.
It's hard to unpack the layers of cultural delusion in this, isn't it, right?
Anyway, he gets into an argument with this Yale woman, and then eventually he has to apologize because he's a white male.
So he says, I want to apologize for that thread, which was a bad idea and came from a place of pain, anger, and frustration.
Yeah, I'll bet.
Because you're a white male in a society where people like you attack white males.
Huh.
This is why I've described a lot of Western civilization as a suicide cult.
It really is a suicide cult.
You know, I mean, think about it.
All the migrants that are pouring into Europe, let's say, from the Middle East, you don't see those migrants talking about how horrible they themselves are.
Right?
No.
They're like, we're going to come in, we're going to run this town.
You know, we're going to take over.
And they are.
You know, Rishi Sunak is the Prime Minister of the UK. Right.
I mean, there's some irony for you, right?
But people are just walking in and taking over Western Europe and taking over a lot of America as well, like literally walking across the border and just taking over.
Taking over the school boards, taking over the city councils, taking over the census, by the way.
Did you know the census counts every person, whether they're legal or illegal?
Did you know that?
So when they divvy up the congressional districts, You know, because it's just a fixed number of House members, and so that's divided by the number of people in that district.
So what Democrats can do is they can flood their zones with more illegals, they get counted in the census, and then they get apportioned more congressional seats.
Did you know that?
So that's how illegals coming into the country illegally are, in essence, strongly influencing or even controlling Congress.
Even if they can't vote yet.
But many of them do vote anyway, especially in the blue states.
But anyway, I'm getting off topic, but it is all related.
So if you run around society talking about how bad your ethnicity is, and that goes for any race, then don't be surprised when you have trouble getting a job because of your race.
You know?
These people...
Oh, by the way, I totally forgot to tell you about the interview today.
And we're going to be featuring the interview with Corey Edmund Endrulat, who is a young, well-read, philosophical champion of human liberty.
And he writes about the modern abolitionist movement to free us all from modern forms of slavery.
You know, there's government slavery.
Financial slavery is a big part of this, especially when your dollars are being looted every single day.
So, you know, you're working for the man, regardless of your color.
You're working for the man, the man now being the central banks.
And the man is looting from you every day by printing more money that they didn't have to work for.
You have to work for the money.
The man doesn't have to work for the money.
And all of us are accurately described as, in one form or another, slaves under this wage slave system.
So this is a thing...
Just as a general context note in all of this, and this is where Corey Endrelat is absolutely correct.
See, you were told in school probably that the Civil War was fought over slavery in America.
That's not exactly what it was fought over, but whatever.
We'll just gloss over that for the moment.
And you were told that slavery ended...
Because the northern anti-slave states won that war, and thus there would be no more slavery in America.
Except, fast forward to 2024, or even many years leading up to this, and not only did slavery not end, it expanded.
It just morphed to enslave people of every color.
People of every ethnicity, of every religion.
Now slavery is universal.
You are enslaved in a system of government control.
Think about what is the core principle of Think about it.
From a philosophical or civil rights point of view, what's the core argument of the pro-slavery people?
It's that certain individuals don't own their own bodies, and that therefore they don't own the product of their own labor or efforts, right?
Those are essentially the pillars of slavery.
You don't own your body.
Hence, someone else, they can buy and sell you, or your body, and you don't own the product of your labor.
Therefore, you can be enslaved to produce for someone else while they enjoy the benefits of your labor.
Well, in 2024, what do we have?
Vaccine mandates.
Lockdowns, forced medical interventions, they are premised on the idea that you also don't own your body in 2024.
Because if you owned your own body, then you would have the right, the inherent right, to say no to any medical intervention.
If you own your own body, then you would have the right to go outside and jog on the beach, even in the middle of a fake COVID pandemic.
If you owned your own body, then no government could essentially arrest you and force you into a quarantine camp.
And yet, all of these things happened during COVID, which set the precedent of enslavement by the state to the point where you do not own your body, according to that state, by the way.
According to governments, you don't own your body.
Now then, taxation is theft.
Taxation is confiscation.
Taxation is stealing the product of your labor, forcing you to hand over the product of your work, your sweat, and tears, and ideas, and physical labor, and whatever else you put into your job.
The fact that, effectively, taxation is now well over 50% of your income, far beyond that.
It's more like 70% if you start adding it all up, and in some cases, even higher.
Even in America, think about it.
70-plus percent taxation rates between property taxes, sales taxes, income taxes, social security taxes, right?
On and on and on.
State and federal income taxes.
That is stealing or confiscating the product of your labor, which is just another form of slavery.
So that's financial slavery.
So, you know, if your ancestors...
We're forced slaves working on, you know, let's just use the cliche here, picking cotton on a cotton plantation in the South, you know, back in the 1840s or whenever, then you did not own a product of your labor.
But if you're working for anybody in 2024, you also do not own 70% of the product of your labor.
And the 30% that you are allowed to keep is losing value every day because the government's stealing even more value by printing more money every single day.
So really, again, slavery has just expanded to encompass everyone.
We're all enslaved by this current system.
And finding freedom in this world today is incredibly difficult.
Finding financial freedom or even financial privacy is incredibly difficult.
Well, Finding the freedom to speak is incredibly difficult.
This is why we filed our lawsuit against the U.S. government and big tech platforms because we demand the right to be able to speak and we are asking the courts to compel these institutions to stop censoring the voices of Americans.
But think about how enslaved you are if you're not allowed to speak and You're not allowed to assert ownership over your own body and you're not allowed to keep the vast majority of the labor or the product of your effort.
That's slavery, folks.
That is total wholesale slavery.
That's what exists in our world today.
Now, to find freedom in this world, you need to be on top of the best strategies, which is what I teach, by the way.
You need to understand the role of alternative platforms like BrightTown.com, which is still censored by Twitter.
Or, you know, BrightTown.io, BrightTown.social or other platforms.
You know, Rumble recognizes more free speech.
Gab is very much a pro-free speech platform.
Truth Social is out there too.
Telegram and so on.
So you need to understand what platforms exist and to know how to use them and also then to have the discipline to use them and stop reinvesting your time and effort in Facebook or YouTube or places that are controlled by the man that are basically just designed to enslave you, right?
But you also need to understand how to protect your financial assets, right?
From surveillance and confiscation.
And, you know, we have a whole show on this called Decentralize.TV, and you can see many episodes there with my co-host Todd Pitner, and we interview dozens of top experts, innovators, entrepreneurs, inventors, who have created all kinds of solutions, many of them based on various renditions of blockchain, some of them backed by gold and silver companies.
Some of them based on food for us, food abundance and things like that.
You can check out all those interviews and learn from all those experts that we've interviewed.
And to some degree, you can achieve more privacy and you can achieve asset protection.
And let me just distill this down for you.
Of all the interviews that I've done, of everything, of all the experts I've talked to, Even spanning over 20 years of doing this, there are two simple things to understand about asset protection.
Number one is buy gold and silver.
It's the single proven method to protect assets.
It's buy gold and silver, which really means trade fiat currency for gold and silver.
Gold and silver will tend to protect the value of what you put into it.
Gold and silver allow you to keep what you earn.
And the second part of that is, if you want absolute privacy, look into certain forms of crypto, although they do have risk associated with them.
And privacy crypto is under a lot of regulatory attack right now.
And Bitcoin is skyrocketing, and it will probably go up a lot more in the years ahead, I would imagine.
But it's also fully transparent, hard to have privacy on the Bitcoin blockchain.
But gold and silver in your hands?
That's the ideal scenario.
Nobody knows you have it.
I mean, nobody knows where it is.
They can't track it.
Nobody can surveil it, what you've done with it, where you put it, who you gave it to, what you spent it on.
Self-custody is in your hands and it's holding value.
And by the way, gold is headed towards $2,400 an ounce again and silver is back, what is it, almost $32 again.
I mean, almost back to its all-time high that it experienced, what was that, a week ago or whatever it was?
Silver is exploding.
So just consider gold and silver as the number one thing to look into, research it, if you want to protect your assets and you want to avoid having all the product of your labor confiscated by a rogue, criminal-occupying government that is deliberately trying to enslave each and every one of us.
And I've got a special report I recorded earlier.
I'll play it a little bit later, but it's called To Prepare for All Post-Dollar Currencies, Stack Gold and Silver.
So I'll play that for you here coming up, but there's another story I really wanted to get to here, and I should have covered this earlier, but this is just astonishing.
I kind of have to get your mind around this one.
And this comes out of Remix.News, which covers Europe.
It's a good site.
As Ukrainian casualties soar, the EU will move to conscript European youth to fight wars, warns Hungarian foreign minister.
And the subhead is, Hungary's foreign minister warns of an EU-wide draft that could force European youth to serve in Ukraine.
Now, this should be a shocker headline.
I mean, number one, Ukraine has already, very sadly and regrettably, Ukraine, the decisions of NATO and Zelensky, who is a puppet of the West, this has resulted in an estimated half a million Ukrainian men killed in the last two-plus years in this conflict with Russia.
To the point where Ukraine is running out of men.
They're getting desperate on their conscription.
You know, they're dragging people off the streets in some cases and sending them to the front lines and things are getting insane.
The idea that then there would be a military draft across the EU in order to recruit soldiers to go in and die on the front lines with Russia.
This is getting insane.
Now, yesterday we covered the news that in the UK, there's a proposal underway to have mandatory military service.
This is pushed by Rishi Sunak to say that every 18-year-old in the UK will have to join the military or they will have to serve as a volunteer for the police one weekend a month.
And this is mandatory.
It's like, hey, you can either volunteer for the police Rounding up people who refuse to volunteer for the police, or you can refuse to volunteer for the police, and you can be rounded up by other volunteers who did volunteer for the police.
That's what it's coming to in the UK. Like, what?
Or you can join the military and die for King Charles, or whatever.
Demon-worshiping, satanic, fiery hell painting King Charles.
You saw that painting, right?
It's like, wow!
It's like he's walking out of a hell pit, a flaming hell pit.
You can smell the sulfur, you know?
Crazy.
Why would you want to die for these demons and reptilian creatures that call themselves kings and princes and whatever?
Why would you die for these people?
But this is being pushed in the UK. A similar proposal is now being considered in Italy, where lawmakers are saying we should have a national draft.
You know, you turn 18, boom, you go to war.
Because they need more bodies to throw at the Russians.
Which is very disturbing and very sad, by the way.
Because Russia has become incredibly good at, you know, killing soldiers, killing the enemy.
Russia is very proficient at that.
And I don't even think Russia wants this to go on.
Russia would rather—I mean, they indicated they're happy to negotiate a peace settlement right now.
They're not going to give back the Donbass region, by the way, and they're not going to allow Ukraine to ever join NATO. You know, there are going to be conditions, and Russia will probably say, you've got to give us Odessa— There are conditions, but Russia is willing to establish peace right now.
They don't want to keep fighting, but if Western Europe is going to keep recruiting more young men and just throwing them eastward to die at the hands of the highly proficient Russian military, then, you know, Russia's got no choice, do they?
They're going to have to just keep chewing them up.
So apparently this Hungarian foreign minister...
Peter Zijarto, I can't say his name, I'm sorry.
He met with a bunch of officials who told him that this was going to happen and he got really incensed about this and he stated publicly, hands off Central Europeans, hands off Hungarian youth.
We will not allow Hungarian youth to be involved in the war because this is not our war.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He went on to say that Ukrainian casualties are becoming more and more unbearable.
I agree.
Ukrainian men are not being allowed out of Ukraine.
That's right.
They are trapped in their own country by their own government.
And now they want to conscript European youth into the war.
And obviously, as the escalation hits this neighborhood first, he's talking about Hungary, one can almost clearly hear the argument that the soldiers should be sent from the geographical proximity first.
He continues, all this means that they want to send Central European youth, including Hungarian youth, to the war with mandatory European conscription, he said.
And he said this to the Hungarian media.
Wow.
Again, the West is becoming insane and And understand that the leaders of Western nations, the leaders of Western civilization, there's no limit to the number of young men they will send to their deaths in order to try to maintain Western power and domination over the world.
Even though those efforts will fail, because the West is collapsing, the dollar is collapsing, Western military dominance is already eclipsed.
Western leaders are insane or incompetent.
I mean, look at Biden, right?
The West, it's just downhill from here.
But they will sacrifice any number of their own people to try to stop Russia or stop China or stop Iran or stop any of these other countries or the BRICS nations in general.
So we are now...
All of us who live in the West, we're living under governments that are suicide cultists, except they want to send their citizens to commit suicide, not themselves.
I mean, the leaders don't want to commit suicide, but they're happy to, quote, suicide you on their behalf, or your young men, in other words.
And could a military draft happen in America?
Absolutely.
No question about it.
It could happen overnight.
All that has to happen for that to take place is one false flag nuclear bomb gets set off in a U.S. city, even if it's set off by the deep state itself.
And you know they have uranium from Russia that was part of the Uranium One collusion laundering operation with all kinds of deep state players involved in that years ago.
They've got the radioisotopes from Russia that Where do you think America buys most of its nuclear fuel for the nuclear power plants?
It mostly comes from Russia, or at least it did.
So they can set off a bomb in America, and then they can look at the isotopic ratio of the fallout, and they can say, aha, that's Russian nuclear fuel.
We were just nuked by Russia, they would say.
And Trump, it's Trump's fault somehow, you know.
We told you, it's all Trump.
And then they would say, well, guess what?
We now, like the very next day, as soon as the media ran with that story, the very next day they would say, we're at war with Russia!
And kaboom!
All American men, ages 18 to 55, you know, whatever, have to report for conscription duty.
And then you'd see a whole bunch of young men say, but I'm a woman now!
You know, and suddenly transgenderism will become very popular.
And then there'd be some Republicans in Congress like, we should conscript the women, too, so that the men can't escape it by becoming women.
Yes, conscript women, too!
And, you know, you'd see this culture war debate going crazy, and then somebody in Congress, or probably Senator Lindsey Graham, would say, well, as long as we're recruiting men, let's send them to Israel.
Also, you know, send them to Gaza!
And then we'd have American young men and women getting shipped off to die in the front lines, to die at the hands of Russia, to die at the hands of Hezbollah or Hamas or Iran, you know, because this is what the system wants, is world war.
Got to be in perpetual war, you know, just to keep the money flowing to the military-industrial complex.
Perpetual war!
War on terror!
Yeah, so, alright, how about this?
I've got two reports for you here.
I'm going to play for you first a special report entitled, Europe is Preparing for a Full-Scale War with Russia, and that's going to be followed by a short report, maybe 10 minutes or so, to prepare for all post-dollar currencies, stack gold and silver.
So we'll do those two special reports, and then we'll come back with the interview with Corey Edmund Endulat.
A modern-day abolitionist to end the slavery of all humankind.
Alright, so first, here's the report about Europe preparing for a full-scale war with Russia.
It's very clear now that Europe, Western Europe, is planning on a full-scale war with Russia.
It's also clear that NATO is planning on this as well.
You see many signs.
You see, for example, the UK government warning its own people to prepare with backup supplies of food and emergency medicine and communications and what have you.
Normally, you don't see the UK government telling its people to prepare at all.
And then at the same time, the government of Italy, there are lawmakers there proposing now new mandatory conscription, a draft.
For young Italian men, I think 18 to 26 would be forced into the military.
Why?
Well, they don't have enough troops.
But if this is the plan to start recruiting now in order to fight Russia, it's too little too late.
And it's not just about soldiers.
It's about industrial output.
And what we've really witnessed over the past few years, especially since the U.S. destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline, is that Western Europe has lost its industrial output capabilities to the point where it can no longer really compete with Russia in terms of munitions, artillery shells, drones.
Rockets, missiles, and the like, Western European nations simply cannot compete.
And there's no easy way to turn that around either, because Western Europe has, of course, dismantled its own energy infrastructure.
It has done that on purpose in order to appease the Greens.
So even though across Europe they have vast supplies of natural gas locked in the ground, and they could have affordable energy, they could have a booming economy if they simply tapped into that gas, what's actually happened is that the globalists have pushed a climate agenda, which is rooted in fake science, in order to convince these Western European nations to shut down their industry so that they can't wage war against countries like Russia or China or Iran.
It's almost as if the climate agenda was actually a Russian-Chinese agenda to weaken Western civilization and make it so that Western nations could not fight effectively in wars.
And you notice that China hasn't signed on to any of the climate nonsense, nor has Russia.
Nor most of the other countries around the world.
It's just the Western nations applauding each other.
Oh, you shut down the fossil fuels.
Yes, you shut down the pipelines.
Oh yeah, we shut down the refineries.
We shut down the energy exploration.
Woo, aren't we progressive?
No, you're just retarded, actually.
You're committing national suicide.
And then from that posture, to think that The West is going to wage war against Russia without affordable energy, without scale of industry, without munitions, without factories that produce steel and tanks and ammo and artillery shells and so on.
How do you think you're going to fight Russia?
In your mind, in your little fantasy land inside your skull, I'm talking to European leaders, how do you see this playing out?
Like, what happens that causes Russia to be defeated?
Can you explain that?
And of course the answer is no, they can't explain it.
They have no explanation.
They have no mechanism.
All they have is this historical arrogance and ignorance, which really defines the West.
This lack of knowledge about reality, but this wholehearted belief that the West is just superior.
The West is just better.
That America is the, quote, indispensable nation.
As it has been described by Western leaders.
And as a result, the West thinks that it can just magically win.
I mean, think about it.
The way the West describes Russia, it's like, oh, they say the Russian soldiers are all afraid and poorly trained and poorly equipped and Russia is nothing but a...
A gas station with nuclear missiles.
It's not really an advanced nation.
It doesn't really have modern military technology.
I mean, these are all lies, of course.
This is a fantasy of the West.
And the West says, well, we are superior.
We've been superior since the end of World War II, and that hasn't changed, and we can do whatever we want.
And whoever we bomb, they cower in fear.
And wherever we go, we win, because we're winners, and they are losers.
Except it's all a delusion.
It's just something that Western nations tell themselves, and it's already obsolete.
Because in reality, the West is perhaps two decades behind Russian military technology.
Two decades behind.
I mean, think about it.
Russia has hypersonic missiles.
US doesn't.
Russia has advanced drones.
US drones are not impressive, and the Reaper drones are, what, 20 years old or more?
I mean, look, the West has Patriot missile batteries, but they barely function.
They just don't work.
They're not really an effective anti-air system.
Not against modern missiles and hyperglide vehicles that evade anti-air defense systems.
There are so many examples of this where Western nations just don't have any advanced technology.
Not the Challenger tanks out of the UK. Not the Panzers or Panthers out of Germany.
Not even the Merkava tanks in Israel.
They're getting destroyed by Hamas.
By militants wearing sandals.
And then, aside from all of this, the gear, the equipment, the technology, there's the men.
The men in the West have become weak.
Especially the younger generations that are recruited into the military.
They're weak.
They're pathetic.
Snowflakes.
Most of them have never done a hard day's work in their life.
They don't know what it means to be a soldier.
They don't have the physical stamina.
They don't have the determination of mind.
They don't have the hands-on skills with anything, for the most part.
I know there are exceptions to this, but By and large, the younger generations are just not that impressive in the West.
But of course, if you go to Russia, well, it's a totally different story.
In Russia, they know how to do things.
They've had it tougher in Russia, and that has caused the younger generations to toughen up.
On top of that, Western culture has now been infested with the LGBT propaganda, which is all about...
Gays and lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, even in the military.
Oh, soldiers want a sex change.
Are you kidding me?
It's a clown show.
Making a mockery of what the U.S. military once was.
You can rest assured that in Russia's special forces, there are no men pretending to be women.
Nobody's having their genitalia cut off over there and then pretending to be a soldier.
They're real men.
They really know how to fight.
They're trained to fight.
They're smart, not just tough.
But they haven't been ruined by a culture war which the West has been waging on men.
This is why I predict that, yes, NATO is going to send soldiers into Ukraine at some point here, probably this year, to directly confront Russia with uniformed Western soldiers, okay?
NATO soldiers.
Those soldiers are going to be wiped out.
They're going to be sent home in body bags.
Many of those soldiers won't even make it to the front lines because Russia will probably use nuclear artillery shells or thermobaric bombs and will just wipe them out before they ever get to fire a single shot.
So whatever Western soldiers are dispatched to the front lines, they will die.
And Russia will just grind them up like they do anybody else that gets in their way, including the French Foreign Legion soldiers or the contractor soldiers, the volunteers.
They're all dead.
And for those people who think that the West is a superior soldier, you're living in a fantasy land.
Western soldiers are not superior.
They are inferior.
They're not very bright.
They're largely obese.
They're living on processed junk foods instead of the more healthful real food nutrition that the Russian soldiers are consuming.
Western soldiers, they don't have skills.
They don't have determination.
Again, I know there are exceptions to this, especially in the Navy SEALs and Special Forces.
I'm talking about, generally speaking, the younger soldiers are just not that impressive.
They couldn't last in a fistfight With their ancestors two or three generations ago who fought in World War II and were much smaller men physically.
They were smaller physically.
But they were real soldiers.
They knew how to fight and they had determination and they had skills and they were a lot more intelligent and they weren't weakened by this whole LGBT agenda.
So once again, do you see a pattern here?
Do you notice how in Russia, You're not allowed to push the LGBT agenda.
In China, you're not either.
Because those two countries are protecting their culture against the tranny demons and all the LGBT pushers who are anti-human, they're pedophiles, they're child traffickers and groomers and rapists, and they destroy a culture.
But China says no.
Russia says no.
Most of the countries in the Middle East say no.
Iran says no, by the way.
Turkey says no.
But the countries that have embraced LGBT agendas, they are becoming weak and soft and they're imploding.
And yet, the leaders of those countries, like I said earlier, they still think that the West is superior.
So imagine the shock they're going to encounter when they deploy 100,000 U.S. troops or NATO troops into Ukraine and they find out that 80,000 are dead.
I mean, the kill rate is going to be extremely high.
Russia has Iskander missiles.
Even with thermobarrack warheads that just create a fireball that just burns through the air, rips apart everybody's lungs who's in the vicinity, and they are an area-effect weapon.
You put 100,000 soldiers in the field, at some point they've got to sleep somewhere, there have to be barracks somewhere.
Guess what?
Russia knows where the barracks are.
They've just got to hit the barracks with a thermobarrack warhead.
I guess you could call them thermobarracks weapons, because the barracks will be on fire.
And it's done.
And then the West will have to make up some story.
We're winning!
We're still winning!
You know?
It's just endless propaganda from the West.
Just meaningless bullcrap, non-stop, every day.
But the West is done as a civilization, by the way, because it cannot recover from this self-inflicted series of injuries, the culture wars, the weakening of the men, the attacking of men, by the way, which has been carried out through movies and TV and pop culture and so on.
The ineffective, incompetent leadership of Western nations, the shutting down of energy infrastructure, the shutting down of industry, to the point where there's nobody even left in America who knows how to make steel, you know, or how to make ammo, really, for the most part.
I mean, there might be a few exceptions again here and there, but the skills that were once commonplace across America are gone.
Almost nobody remains who knows how to make anything.
So, it's shocking to me that Western nations are pushing this all-out war as if it's their existential war.
Like, they need to defeat Russia, otherwise the West cannot exist, and so they're putting everything in on this.
And the result is that the West is going to end up losing everything, because they can't defend themselves.
They can't beat Russia, even if they send in everything.
So make sure that you are tracking all of this, that you understand what's at stake and the incompetence of the Western leaders because they truly have no idea what they're doing.
And they're going to get not just half a million Ukrainians killed, but ultimately probably something like half a million Americans killed as well.
I pray that this isn't the case.
I pray that this doesn't happen, but I fear that it will.
So thank you for listening here.
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
God bless you all, and dare I say, God bless America.
Take care.
Alright, I hope you enjoyed that special report.
I've got one more for you here, entitled, To Prepare for All Post-Dollar Currencies Stack Gold and Silver.
This is a big deal.
It reveals how gold and silver will be the universal bridge to all future currencies, state-level, region, nation-state, whatever happens, post-dollar collapse.
every new currency will recognize the value of gold and silver.
You'll be able to trade it in if you want for the new currency, but check out this report.
And then we'll be back with the interview on the other side.
I've got some good news for you for after the collapse of the dollar.
Now, over the last year, I've met with a number of really interesting people, high-level people, some people involved in the Texas legislature, Texas lawmakers, and so on, about the concept of Gold and silver backed currencies.
In other words, an emergency backup currency for not just the state of Texas, but other states as well.
And I recently just met with another individual who is from the private sector, who has some very innovative technology in this space.
And also I've interviewed the founders of LODE, L-O-D-E. Which is a very innovative company that has managed to digitize or tokenize physical vaulted audited gold and silver deposits and make them instantly, you know, exchangeable through a blockchain system.
And that's quite a technical innovation that they've achieved, by the way.
You can find that interview at decentralize.tv.
Look for load, L-O-D-E. And the website they have, by the way, is load.one, which is O-N-E, load.one.
Now, here's the good news in all of this.
I can assure you that in many states, Texas, Florida, Utah, and many others, there are already pioneering individuals.
Nevada would be another one.
Pioneering individuals who are working on all kinds of concepts of what's going to be the next state-based currency or local currency to be used when the dollar collapses.
This is now a common discussion topic.
It's not a fringe thing any longer.
Everybody understands the dollar's toast.
Everybody who has a brain gets that.
The real question is, what's going to take its place?
And what's fascinating to me, which is the good news, is that in every case that I've had discussions with, the intention is to back the new currency by gold and silver.
In every case.
So there's no discussion taking place among states that I'm aware of that would say, let's just launch a fiat currency backed by nothing to where we could just print unlimited amounts of it.
Because nobody trusts that, especially after the collapse of the dollar.
Who's going to trust another state-run fiat currency?
Nobody.
So every discussion centers around something that requires no additional layer of trust, something that already has intrinsically recognized value throughout time, throughout every human civilization, and that's gold and silver as well.
So gold and silver are going to be the basis, you could say the faith basis, behind whatever new currencies get launched.
That's fascinating to me because it tells me that if you're looking to get ahead of the curve, you want to get into the next currency before it even exists, then get gold.
Or silver, because gold and silver are going to be the basis of whatever those currencies are.
Now, there are a lot of ideas about competing currency systems, you know, a lot of different ways to approach this.
There's the load project, like I mentioned.
There are other decentralized blockchain systems, all kinds of systems of value.
Some people want to run it off of Bitcoin.
Other people like Ripple, for example.
And still others like Monero because of its privacy characteristics, although the Monero blockchain tends to be a lot more complicated for developers to work with.
But whatever.
The point is, we're going to see an implementation.
I'm absolutely convinced.
We're going to see an implementation soon.
As the dollar collapses, various states or new nation states are going to roll out their own new digital currencies backed by gold and silver and audited and confirmed by state authorities.
So this is the trust factor that's really critical.
So in other words, if someone pays you in digital gold, And they say, well, this digital gold is backed by real gold in a vault somewhere, and here's a serial number of the gold bar that this is tied to, which a lot of these systems can track it to specific serial numbers.
Then you need to be able to trust that that's been audited, that's been inspected, the physical gold is there, it hasn't been looted, or there hasn't been some massive counterfeiting of the digital coins, even though the gold doesn't exist, right?
Because that would be the...
That's what...
People would want to do.
It's like, oh, let's just print more free money and no one will notice.
Ha ha!
But then that's what has caused the dollar to collapse, right?
But if you're accepting this digitized money in the near future, you want to be able to trust that the physical gold and silver are really there.
And you also want to be able to turn this digital stuff in for physical gold, right?
You want to be able to say, okay, I've got $1,000 worth of Let's say, Texas gold longhorn tokens or whatever.
And I want you to send me half an ounce of gold.
I'm going to redeem these for the gold.
And that process needs to exist.
It needs to be fluid.
And the good news is that process does exist in projects like LOAD and others.
You can redeem the tokens for the physical metal.
Now, there's a little bit of overhead in that, shipping fees, and in some instances, like a conversion of a bar of gold into a gold coin, and then there's a premium on top of that, depending on what mint you want.
If it's an American Eagle gold coin, then there's going to be a premium.
So there's some additional costs if you redeem it for physical, but the process exists.
But my point here today is, If you've been wondering, and I've been wondering this too, if you've been wondering, like, what do I need to get into for the next currency?
The answer is simple.
It's gold and silver.
Because gold and silver is going to power all the next currencies.
At least the ones that are launched by new governments, new states.
As the United States empire falls apart, the dollar collapses, the treasury defaults on its debt.
It's got to be simple.
You will be able to trade gold and silver for the new state currency.
I'm absolutely convinced of that.
And if you've been wondering, well, why should I stack gold and silver?
I understand that it's holding its value.
Yeah, that's great.
But what am I going to do with it one day?
How do I reintroduce this back into the system of commerce?
There's your answer.
You're going to be able to trade that in for your new state currency.
And it's clear to me that this process...
The engineering of all this is already well underway.
I know this firsthand because I've spoken with the people.
I've seen demos of various technologies.
I've interviewed some people.
I know this.
There are ready-to-go gold-backed, silver-backed currency systems, digitized currency systems that are ready to go right now.
And there's a technology that exists to print physical currency with gold embedded in it.
And that technology is used by, currently, the Goldback Company, which does not claim to be printing currency, just to be clear.
They're not trying to impersonate dollars, for example.
But they do sell gold in a very unique format, physical gold embedded in polymer layers, highly divisible.
The smallest denomination is one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold, and that gold is really in the Goldback.
And this is why we became an advocate of Goldbacks like a year ago or whatever it was.
And we did lab testing and we confirmed they contain the gold that they claim to contain.
It's the purity they claim and so on.
And we became an affiliate of Goldbacks because it's the physical, in-person gold in your hands.
You can exchange gold.
You can gift it.
You can barter with people with gold in your hands.
And goldbacks achieve that.
So if you want to get some of these, our website is verifiedgoldbacks.com where we earn some affiliate commission on those and we show you our laboratory testing, which is our due diligence process, to show you that goldbacks are legit.
They're real.
The gold is really in the goldbacks.
And so the beauty of that system is that you don't have to trust that there's a vault somewhere.
You don't have to trust some audit.
You don't have to trust some electronic token edition, right?
If you've got the gold in your hands, in the gold backs, then boom, it's done.
The problem with anything that's physical is obviously it's hard to carry out Long distance transactions, online transactions, right?
You can't feed goldbacks into your computer and have it teleported across the internet.
So that's why electronic currencies make a lot of sense.
But I see that the best solution is going to be a combination of these two things.
I can see physical gold embedded in something like goldbacks, but let's just say the state of Texas becomes the Republic of Texas once again, and it decides to have Texas goldbacks, right?
So let's just, theoretically, let's just say that the state endorses Texas goldbacks as a legally usable, recognizable currency because there's physical gold in the bills.
And on top of that, then Texas also has, let's say, digital goldbacks or gold longhorns or Texans or whatever you want to call it.
And that is digital money in Texas backed by the gold and silver in the vaults that's audited, inspected and reported by the state of Texas.
Those two things.
Allow local exchanges to take place, local trade and barter, buying food at a farmer's market, shopping at a grocery store, let's say.
And then also, bigger, you know, remote transactions, sending money, businesses buying and selling, supply chain transactions, you know, commercial transactions.
Digitally, those two systems together can...
Replace the collapsed dollar system and the collapsed Western banking system.
In fact, a lot of existing banks could simply adopt this new system.
Banks that used to exist under the dollar system and under the FDIC, you know, they will temporarily collapse, but they serve a function in society.
Banking is an important function in lending for business growth and development and so on.
So those banks could just switch over, maybe over a period of 30 days or less, switch over to the new system backed by gold and digital gold.
And then they could be up and running again.
And if the state announced it, most people would adopt it and embrace it and start using it almost immediately.
And with the physical bills in your hand, you don't need technology.
But if you have technology, you can use the digital version.
This is good news.
This is good news because it means that you can buy into tomorrow's new currency system by buying gold today or silver.
That's what it means.
You don't have to try to guess what's going to be the most successful system.
All you have to do is buy gold and silver knowing that you can trade it in for the new system, whatever it happens to be, because every system will welcome gold and silver.
Makes sense, right?
So a couple of solutions for you to consider here.
Number one, I recently interviewed, again, Gerald Salenti.
He's the publisher of the Trend Journal.
He's got a 10% discount code for our audience...
And it's worth so much more than what this costs, but if you want to subscribe to the Trends Journal, use discount code RANGER. You'll save 10%.
And the Trends Journal gives us some affiliate commission.
We earn a little bit on that that helps power our projects and our lawsuits against Big Tech and Department of Defense.
You know, we just filed that big lawsuit recently.
So we need financial support to fund our lawsuit to help defend your free speech.
So if you want to subscribe at TrendsJournal.com, use discount code RANGER, and you will have the very best analysis from Gerald Salenti and his team about gold and silver and dollars and bricks currencies and oil and geopolitics and war.
Every week, a new issue, and it's packed with incredibly insightful information.
So that's one thing.
Second thing is if you want physical gold and silver coins, then we have a sponsor in that space, of course.
It's the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
You can reach them at metalswithmike.com.
And they're very trustworthy.
They have a great value, very competitive pricing, real-time pricing on their website.
They don't run bait-and-switch tactics or anything like that.
They don't try to talk you into a bunch of collectible numismatic overpriced coins.
They get you what you want, discreetly, guaranteed, insured delivery.
So reach them at metalswithmike.com.
And then finally, if you want Goldbacks, which I mentioned here, then our affiliate site on Goldbacks is verifiedgoldbacks.com.
We do earn a small percentage on Goldbacks.
There's not a lot, but it's a small percentage.
That helps support our platform.
There is some little bit of margin in goldbacks because the face value is above the actual spot value of the gold that they contain.
Which is interesting because, you know, gold and silver coins, they're worth what the markets were.
Spot plus premium.
That's what they're worth, right?
But goldbacks are worth...
About double spot because of the divisibility, the rendition, the additional manufacturing costs of the goldback itself, and so on.
They're worth about twice spot.
Like right now, one goldback is around $5 or a little bit under $5.
I guess quite a bit under $5 at the moment, but it fluctuates with the price of gold.
In any case, I'm not your financial advisor.
You know, that's my standard disclaimer.
Do your own research.
Make decisions that are best for you.
Understand there is risk in every so-called investment, including in gold and silver.
But as I always say, the real risk in my mind is holding on to dollars and knowing that you're losing value every day in dollars.
You have a 100% chance of losing purchasing power in the dollar.
It's not like, oh, it could be 50% up, 50% down.
No, it's a 100% chance you're going to lose value.
So that's a suicide mission.
If you keep holding dollars, you're just going to keep losing value.
Gold and silver are going up in dollars.
It's not that gold's becoming more valuable, it's just that dollars are becoming less valuable and gold is holding its value.
So if you want insurance against inflation and you want to kind of hit freeze on your assets and just hold their value over time, gold and silver are just historically the best investment.
It's even better than investing in the stock market.
It's better than investing in real estate and housing, by the way.
If you just bought gold and silver back in, I don't know, like 1991 and just sat on it, you would have out-earned the real estate market, Wall Street, treasuries, bonds, all of it.
Even with the gold sitting buried in the ground, you would have still out-earned all those things.
So just buying gold and silver and just sitting on it turns out to be one of the very best Investments, or I should say asset freezing strategies, that anyone can pursue.
But don't take my word for it.
Look at the price history of gold and silver, and you'll see that it's outperformed almost everything.
And I believe it's going to continue to outperform.
So getting gold today means you're locking in your assets, and that will be reflected, especially as gold rises to $3,000 an ounce, $5,000 an ounce.
Who knows?
I don't know how high it's going, and I'm not making a prediction.
I have no idea where it's going.
But I do know the dollar is going towards zero, and eventually the dollar will be abandoned by everybody.
So if you want to be ready for tomorrow's monetary system after the dollar collapses, get gold and silver.
You will be able to trade it in for everything.
New currencies, cars, homes, land, commercial real estate, factories, businesses, everything.
Food, you name it.
Gold and silver will get you ammo, firearms, cattle if you want, cattle.
Anything you want, you'll be able to get it with gold and silver.
That's why it's so smart to have some of that right now.
Thank you for listening.
Mike Adams here at The Health Ranger for NaturalNews.com and Brighteon.com.
Alright, welcome back.
Hope you enjoyed that report.
Now we're going to proceed with our interview with Corey Edmund, Andrew Lott, an expert in ending human slavery, or at least the philosophy of being an abolitionist, you know, abolishing human slavery all over the world.
And this is a very important message for our time.
Now, one last reminder before we get there.
Thank you for all your support shopping with us at HealthRangerStore.com.
We greatly appreciate that.
You're helping us have the funds that we need in order to fight this ultimately multimillion dollar lawsuit against big tech and big government as we take a stand for freedom of speech.
So we do need your support.
We thank you for your support.
It's really heartwarming for me to know how much support that you, our listeners, have given us just in the last 24 hours.
It's really been very, like I said, heartwarming and very encouraging to know that we're on the right path, we're doing the right thing, that you support us in this fight for human freedom, the fight through the legal system.
In addition, I also want to thank you for always considering our various sponsors.
I'm very selective about our sponsors.
We only have a handful of them that I'm cool with.
And that's because they offer you very important solutions, decentralized solutions, privacy solutions, emergency backup type of solutions.
One of those is Satellite Phone Store, sat123.com.
Take a look at what they have to offer if you can benefit from a satellite phone or a satellite text messaging device.
They've got really great packages there to make it affordable and to allow you to save up whatever unused minutes that you have so you can use them all in an emergency if needed.
Help your neighbors, help people around you, help your local community with emergency backup communications.
But just thank you for taking a look at our sponsors and having the patience to hear me explain them from time to time who they are and what they offer and why I'm endorsing their solution.
Again, it's a very limited list.
But with that said, I think you're going to really enjoy this interview.
Corey Edmund Endrulat here, he's a very young man in our industry as it goes.
He's very young.
I think he said he's only 25.
He clearly is way ahead of his age group in terms of comprehension of the mind and history and what's going on in the world.
Extremely well read.
And I think he's got a very powerful message to help humanity discover or rediscover freedom.
Freedoms that have been lost.
So we either stand up and we take our freedoms back, you know, peacefully, lawfully, but assertively, or we end up losing them forever and we end up slaves, dying as slaves in a slave system.
And that's not a future that I want for myself or anybody.
Anybody listening or anybody in society, I want us all to experience freedom, abundance, health, and joy in our lives.
So give this man a listen here, Corey Edmund, Andrew Lott.
I think you'll enjoy this interview, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and today we're going to be talking about human freedom in an age of technological enslavement and demanded obedience.
We're living in a world where AI systems and AI-powered humanoid robotic systems are about to take over both our white-collar and blue-collar workforces.
And what are the implications of this, especially when a lot of the AI systems are controlled by corporations that do not have humanity's best interests at heart?
Joining us today is a fascinating man.
Corey Endrelott is his name, and his website is called theliberator.us.
I believe that's it.
Did I get that right?
The Liberator?
Yes.
Okay, it's not.
Okay.
Theliberator.us.
Sorry.
Welcome to the show, Corey.
It's great to have you on today.
Thank you.
We're ending human slavery.
But, you know, there's these other forms of slavery that are manifesting in this entire reality, and we need to understand it.
Because as we move into this age of AI and technology, this is a whole new ballgame for humanity.
Okay.
I wish a lot more writers of the past wrote about it.
I mean, there's people like you who are doing video reports hour-long talking about the benefits of AI or ChatGPT, but also the warnings and the problems.
And a lot of people have speculations, I think.
Necessary warnings.
You know, they're very confrontational about, like...
Should I be using this?
Is this something that's going to help us or is it something that's going to destroy us?
I actually create a philosophy called naturosophy to really emphasize that natural intelligence beyond the artificial intelligence.
I often say that you have to use your nature or lose your nature in the sense of understanding that You can actually become conscious of what the technology is doing and master over the technology so the technology doesn't master over you in the same way we would say that you don't become the tools of your tools.
That's well stated.
And let me provide some context here before we jump into this.
So our AI project is found at brighttown.ai and people can download our language models for free.
They're open source.
They're non-commercial.
And what we do is we take the base models from companies like Microsoft or Mozilla or Meta, and then we reprogram them using our content, which I refer to as reality-based content, and it's terabytes of content.
So it's interviews, it's articles, it's books, and you've even contributed, by the way, a series of lectures, pro-freedom lectures.
Those have already been transcribed.
Those are going to be put into the system.
To produce language models that are essentially local chatbots that can answer your questions and that hold a lot of knowledge that's practical knowledge.
Survival and growing food and natural medicine and things like that.
However, as you say, and by the way, I'm not a fan of ChatGPT.
I think that the ChatGPT Corporation has already been taken over by Big Pharma.
And if you look at the base answers out of these models, even Mistral and Phi and Lama, Lama 2 and Lama 3, all these base models are pro-pharma, pro-chemotherapy.
You know, they all talk about how climate change is going to destroy humanity.
They're all biased at the get-go, and it's quite an effort to reprogram them.
So I just want to set that as the stage of where we are.
Like, I'm trying to use this tech to help people get the truth and survive, not to enslave them, but other people are trying to use the tech to enslave humanity.
So go ahead, Corey.
Anything could be used for good or for bad, especially the greatest knowledge and tools, the most powerful tools, the most powerful countries.
America, you know, we're the greatest country on Earth, also the most destructive to all these other countries.
And I think we need to be able to look at these tools as they can do the greatest harm or the greatest benefit in many degrees, depending on the user, however.
And so that's where our natural intelligence is really beyond artificial intelligence, which is why I'm often emphasizing it.
Even Elon Musk said in a tweet at one time, said that we need to increase human consciousness because he realized that's a requirement.
And I'm saying it's a requirement if we're going to ever maintain or continue the evolution of technology.
And I actually don't think it's a surprise that you are developing this model, which I think is awesome, by the way, in all your projects.
Everything you're doing is innovative.
You're always thinking outside the box.
I love that.
That's how I think, too.
That's how we use our natural intelligence for these creations that we have.
The thing is, is that in history, if you look at the abolitionists, which is, of course, one of my focuses, talking about slavery, they were around the same time period as the first rotary press and printing press, and I don't think that's a coincidence.
If you look at a lot of philosophers in history, a lot of them had educative material, powerful material, but they didn't have the ability to share it with the world.
And that was their biggest downside.
And that's why we're often going back now to ancient times and bringing back their works to now because of how applicable it is and universal and timeless.
But they didn't have the ability to print on mass scale.
Once the abolitionists utilized their message and utilized the printing press, their message became thousands of times more effective.
And every evolution of technology has basically coincided with the evolution of freedom.
There's a short book called The End of All Evil by Jeremy Locke.
I highly recommend it.
Very easy to read.
You can probably read it in one sitting.
It's about like 100 pages.
And it's by an unknown author.
Nobody really knows who wrote it.
But it's so simply written that a child can understand it.
And it talks about using technology for freedom.
And it talks about your infinite value.
And it talks about how those who promote evil and slavery don't want you to utilize your value or see your value or utilize your freedoms and create new things.
And so there is a difference between utilizing something for independence or being dependent on that thing and that thing being created by somebody else and you not knowing what that thing is doing to you.
And that's where mental slavery comes in.
The worst form of slavery is where you don't realize you're a slave.
And I call technology the second government for the reason that it can replace our reality and our authority that we put in nature.
And this is where we have to be careful.
So that's why I'm emphasizing natural intelligence and then being able to develop all these technologies as we do.
We can only keep those in check so long as we have natural intelligence or at least a higher conscience.
I completely agree with you, and I think the timeline of the introduction of this into the life of, at first, a child developing into an adult, timelines are really critical here.
A developing young child and teenager should not be inundated with technology because they need to develop their natural intelligence and the ability to think for themselves and the ability even to intuit in certain cases by understanding and being connected to the world, the real world around them, nature for example.
Only after you have developed your own ability to think, then is it appropriate, in my opinion, to then introduce technology to say, oh, wow, so this can expand your thinking.
But you have to have that fundamental base.
And yet in society today, it's all backwards.
As you know, Corey, it's backwards.
So they take a three-year-old and they set him down on the floor.
Here's an iPad.
Start playing games.
And then when they're seven, here's social media.
Connect to all your friends.
Yes.
You're fake friends, and then they never develop the idea of thinking for themselves.
Ever.
And we see so many problems associated with technology from the identity, as you mentioned, fake friends.
I mean, see how many people...
We have a loneliness epidemic, and yet we have social media.
You'd think we'd be more social, no, we're anti-social.
The things we're creating to prevent the problem or solve the problems are actually causing the problems.
That's because we aren't seeing beyond it.
So one of the key points I make in regards to natural intelligence and artificial intelligence is being able to see beyond the illusion.
So for instance, I'm now doing this on a computer, right, through a webcam.
You can recognize that.
Everybody who's watching the video right now might be able to understand, yeah, you don't see me in person.
But there might become a time where you don't know that this is reality or not reality.
And that is where the issue really arises, is where we don't know what is reality and what's not.
So let's say a kid is raised into technology.
They have an iPad and all this stuff around them, and they're surrounded by it.
They can't see beyond the reality that they place themselves in just as much as the individual who's born into a country is naturalized into that country.
And they're basically born into that system.
They feel like they're a part of it.
They're attached.
It's like a body part, and they can't get rid of it.
And the same thing with our phones.
It's like how many people can go outside their house without a phone or even like sleep without a phone or do anything without a phone or their car?
I mean this is why a lot of writers have said throughout history we're slaves to cars.
We're slaves to technology.
And it's not that we can't use technology.
It's not that technology is evil.
It's that we have an inability to see beyond its use.
That's because we lack the consciousness and the natural intelligence to see beyond the illusion.
So I agree with what you just said.
There's another layer to this, which is about who controls the tech.
So, of course, I'm a fan of decentralized content, decentralized knowledge, decentralized power.
But, of course, technology lends itself to be centralized in the hands of the few.
The wealthy, such as Elon Musk, for example, or the founders of Google or the people running YouTube or Meta, the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, And regardless of what our viewers think of Elon Musk, I think it's wrong to have that much power in the hands of one man.
Why should one man or woman be able to decide who's allowed to speak on their platform?
That is inherently wrong, even if the person is currently behaving in a way that you agree with at the moment.
Tomorrow, that could change.
So power needs to be decentralized.
And that's one reason why I'm doing our AI LLM project, because you can download it and run it locally.
It doesn't run in the cloud.
But almost all the services of big tech, of course, run in the cloud, which means that every person using that system is getting fed the same centrally controlled information.
It's sanitized.
It's censored.
It is altered in order to present a particular worldview that is a distortion of reality.
Your thoughts, Corey?
Yes.
Absolutely.
I think this is why it's actually great.
There's people like yourself who are constantly investigating, trying to see, like, what is these norms that are pushed upon society, these, you know, very standardized answers.
It's very mechanized.
And you see this with medicine, too, right, with pharmaceutical medicine.
Oh, you have this illness, this disease.
Well, now you're labeled this.
Now you have to do this.
It's missing that human, personal, individual touch.
And this is why I have a big medical project with all, you know, these whistleblowers talking about their experiences in the system, lacking this right brain feminine influence because we have a very left brain masculine based medical system that says, you know, we have to look at the statistics, right?
And Carl Jung made a similar observation in his book, The Undiscovered Self, his final book before his death, talking about how we're looking at the world through a scientific lens, but we're missing this human element.
And I think this particularly hits it on the nail when it comes to Natural intelligence versus artificial intelligence, because I'm not against science.
I mean, you're a scientist, Mike.
I love the scientific work you do, but you don't forget about your humanity in the process.
You're still a personable individual.
You're not just purely looking at just statistics.
You care about people, and you care about their feelings, but you also recognize the facts, right?
So being able to cipher through this can be difficult because some people are very emotional and they let their emotions override all their actions.
And some people let their analytics get them so close-minded, they're skeptical of everything and they're not open to anything, right?
Like new sciences, for instance, quantum sciences and spiritual sciences and the philosophy and ancient history, all that stuff, which is still up for air and for grabs and I mean, just look at the pyramids and see how much mystery is regarding Atlantis and these different ideas.
But someone from the science field said, no, you can't question that, right?
Oh, COVID? No, you can't question that.
The experts say this.
And this type of expert authority mentality is the issue, which is why my focus is always with the everyday person.
So when we empower the everyday person with the information, with the tools that are only for the select few, Absolutely, we're giving them the power that they deserve to be free because knowledge is freedom.
It's a prerequisite.
It's a requirement.
The idea of the occult, which is hidden, hidden knowledge.
There's these few people at the top of the pyramid.
That is occult knowledge.
They're keeping it to themselves.
Knowledge is power, and they're keeping it away from the masses, those in the bricks of the pyramid, and they're keeping them in darkness.
But when you take away those bricks, the light gets revealed to everybody.
They call this light Freemasonry, as opposed to dark Freemasonry, where someone's trying to conceal the light from everybody else.
See, there's different sides to Freemasonry, light and dark.
To them, light is knowledge, dark is ignorance.
And we're kept in ignorance, and we keep ourselves in ignorance.
And that's where mental slavery comes in, which is why my work is with the everyday person.
It has to be.
Because we enslave ourselves.
We are not seeing past the illusions.
We're allowing ourselves to give up our own power, which we absolutely have.
Yes, yes.
It's astonishing to me how many people they don't see through the illusions.
They use Google as a search engine, and they never see what's missing from the search results, which is the whole point.
So...
Our information reality is being reshaped and strictly limited to the point where I say that human knowledge is on the endangered species list at this point, right?
And what Google and other big tech services are doing is exterminating human knowledge in order to Dissociate people from the things that worked.
A great example of that is the rise of Rockefeller Medicine and the FDA, founded in 1906, then systematically outlawing Native American medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Amazonian medicine, Tibetan medicine, herbs and remedies and things that were known to be effective and to work, even when they did not know the scientific reason why it worked.
They never diagrammed the molecules in their medicine.
They just knew that this medicine produces this result.
And that's also a kind of science.
It's kind of a cultural, you know, indigenous cultural science, you could say.
You don't need to know the molecules, even like traditional Chinese medicine.
It talks about meridians in the body and, you know, the lung meridian and the kidneys and how it's all interrelated.
They didn't have to open up people's bodies and dissect them and take their organs out in order to know this.
They knew it functionally.
But all of that knowledge is being obliterated by big tech today.
Right.
And I love to hear scientific explanations as to how our ancients knew this knowledge way before we even had microscopes and all this stuff, because it is quite amazing.
And this is where this power of natural intelligence comes in, to see way more than just what we see with science.
And again, Carl Jung, who, you know, I think he's a reputable source.
He's a psychiatrist who looked at people's minds.
He looked at the shadow that people had in their psyche.
That's particularly I have a lot of references for in my slavery book for that reason.
I mean, he even refers to the state and technology as a sort of slavery.
He says that in his own words.
He calls it state slavery.
And so I bring a lot of this to the surface in my work, very extensive.
I'm willing to give you my book for free as well, Mike.
Here it is, my rendition of my Slavery Gone for Good book.
I actually have bookmarked a page talking about technological slavery, and it's because I also interviewed David Icke regarding the subject, and this is what he had to say about it.
He said, artificial intelligence will do more and more of human thinking until human thinking as we know it now will be negligible.
Now I'd like someone to define a more extreme level of slavery than to have your entire perceptual processes externally controlled and dictated so that you not only have your body enslaved, you have your mind enslaved.
And as you know, when we talk about slavery, enslavering the mind is the whole foundation of it.
I see this as a parallel to the governments that presume to give you your rights when you're just born here.
Oh, you're just born here, so you must sign this birth certificate.
You're a part of the system.
This is the rules you have to play by.
We provide it.
It's given to you.
Basically, they're assuming to be nature.
They're assuming to be God and its authority.
Technology can do the same thing.
Not that it is, but it can, because it is one of our inventions.
And so if we don't see it's one of our inventions, that's where it's the problem.
Many people will see government or slavery or technology as sort of just ingrained within the natural universe as if there's just no separation between ourselves and what we create or our mind and our heart and our body.
And, you know, coming from an Eastern perspective, these parts are all integral.
You can't leave one out.
You can't be super analytical or super emotional, like I said.
You need to be able to have a balance.
You need to be able to be holistic.
You need to be able to look at the whole body to get to the root cause.
So absolutely, I think we need to take a holistic approach if we're going to deal with this problem.
And that means, you know, not just discounting it then.
Right.
I want to add that language models can be particularly convincing to people because they simulate human consciousness, and convincingly so.
A lot of people would talk to, for example, our language models right now, and they would be convinced that it is a conscious being.
You know, the so-called Turing test, as it's called, which is actually a very bad test.
Pretty much everything that we're releasing today would pass the Turing test, but none of it's actually aware.
These are, in essence, statistical parlor tricks.
At least at the level that we're playing with right now, 7 billion parameters, 14 billion parameters, it can spit out a sentence that sounds convincing on any topic that you want, but it can't plan.
There's no planning.
It's only predicting one word at a time.
It's only predicting the next word in a sequence.
And it doesn't have goal-oriented behavior.
And it can't plot against you, and it doesn't have any memory of what it just produced, you know, two seconds ago.
But Mike, we can create all that.
Don't you understand?
We're gods of this universe.
We can just program everything.
You know, we can just change our gender.
We can change anything we want, because this is what we are as human beings.
This is social Darwinism.
Yeah, right, exactly.
But what I do want to get to, though, is the next step, which is putting AI behavior models into humanoid robots.
So, like, right now, Corey, the world of AI is very virtual, right?
It's pretty easy to have that dividing line between, okay, this is an AI-generated image, this is AI-generated text, AI-generated film, versus what's real.
This is a desk, this is my water bottle, this is my smoothie.
It's a pretty clear dividing line.
But when you start having AI-powered humanoid robotic systems that become very commonplace, they're parking your car for you, you know, or they're going shopping for you, they're making dinner, you know, chopping up the carrots and hopefully not wielding knives against chopping up the carrots and hopefully not wielding knives against you, then those lines become very easily blurred.
What are your thoughts on what happens as humanoid robots, which will be mass-produced in the next couple of years in China, when they start being outfitted with AI behavior model systems, speech recognition, and text-to-speech engines, and then they start being used commercially and even residentially and then they start being used commercially and even residentially for non-commercial purposes across our society?
Okay.
Well, it's going to create a whole other ballgame of symptom management and a bunch of other problems that don't need to exist as with our usual inventions that we usually create out of a lack of something natural.
And that's usually how it goes with a lot of our man-made things, is we usually create them in response to missing something more in our life.
So, for instance, we'll go on social media or we'll go on a dating app because we can't socialize normally as we have for thousands of years face to face.
These technological interfaces are basically enacting replacements upon the human intelligence and the natural intelligence, God's intelligence, whatever you want to call it.
And when you recognize that, that means it's never really going to work.
Even if we think it's going to work, even if we think we've got it all figured out.
And that's the funny thing, is when we think we've got it all figured out, human beings will be stumped time and time again to realize they don't, because they continually think they're the gods of this universe.
So they'll create new philosophies thinking this is the best philosophy.
They'll create new governments thinking this is the best government on Earth.
They'll create new systems of control, of medicine, of I think this is the one cure to all cancer.
Like, they're still trying to find that.
And when cancer cures are literally everywhere in nature, as you know.
So when the answers are just given by nature, as evident by my message, nature is the answer.
What are we doing to create our own answers that we use through technology?
If it's not to aggregate and help those natural processes that are already there, what is it doing?
Yeah.
And you can make that case and say, well, isn't the robot that's helping me cook helping me with my natural processes?
Maybe.
But at the same time, it's going to take away that bonding experience you had for cooking or the time and care that you put into making your own dish and realizing that cooking is a skill.
And then what happens when you lose that robot?
Now you can't cook for yourself and now you're dependent on the robot.
There's a lot of problems of attachments.
Which is why Buddhism and a lot of the Eastern philosophies talk about materialism and this problem in regards to spirituality.
Again, materialism versus spirituality, natural intelligence versus artificial intelligence, these have a tie.
Just as much as slavery versus God's government.
Government of man versus the government of God and natural law.
I love how every time that you say something...
It brings up these intriguing ideas and questions.
So let me respond to one thing there.
So I live on a ranch, and I have a lot of very practical skills and things in which I engage, you know, chopping firewood for the winter, for example, changing the valve stem of a tractor tire, which was something that I was doing yesterday, taking care of chickens and goats and other animals and dealing with irrigation systems, planting trees, all these kinds of things.
So I'm experienced enough and mature enough to know how to do all these things.
If I had grown up with a robot that did all that, I would not know any of that.
Now, we live in a country where most of the younger generation, although there are exceptions, but most of the younger generation, they don't know how to do anything real, as you are well aware.
They can't plant a tree.
They wouldn't know even where to begin.
They're not hands-on unless the hand is on their phone, and that's the only thing that their hands are on.
This is my focus, Mike.
You have to understand, my generation was the last line.
I'm serious.
I'm 23, and the last line before this next age of this generation that doesn't understand, this is just born into technology.
My iPhone was released when I was eight years old, so I still had a little experience of not being on technology.
But now, after my generation, basically, we just hit the line.
I feel like I'm in a position of more obligation to have to decipher the natural versus the unnatural in this world, especially since I studied natural law and then natural medicine, and you see it everywhere you look.
We aren't seeing that there's answers everywhere around us.
So what are we doing trying to create solutions to things that we could have better solutions to just by understanding the world we live in?
This is my continual question.
So, continuing with that, then, if I were to have a robot today to come help me on the ranch, I wouldn't lose the knowledge of the skills that I've already done a thousand times.
But I could be more productive, let's say, theoretically, with a robot, as long as it was an open-source local robot that wasn't spying on me all the time and reporting to the cloud.
That's the other thing that robots will do.
There'll be spy machines spying on you constantly.
So many concerns.
Yeah.
It opens up a can of worms.
But again, if a young person who doesn't know these skills takes on a robot and then it's only going to take about a week before they're like, robot, do that.
Robot, chop the wood.
Robot, plant the robot.
Do the dishes.
I'm going to sit here and play video games or whatever.
And then it becomes the robot is living the life of this child or the teenager.
Like, robot, live my life.
I'm just going to veg out here in front of this TV or whatever they're doing.
And so you lose humanity is what happens.
I have another quote relevant to what you just said, if you don't mind me mentioning it.
From Gandhi, he says, we should not use machinery for producing things which we can produce without its aid and have got the capacity to do so.
As machinery makes you its slave, we want to be independent and self-supporting.
So we should not take the help of machinery when we can do without it.
We want to make our villages free and self-sufficient and through them achieve our goal, liberty, and also protect it.
I have no interest in the machine, nor do I oppose it.
If I can produce my things myself, I become my master and so need no machinery.
Now, I know it sounds like a very anti-technology position coming from Mahatma Gandhi there, but notice he doesn't say he opposes it, and he says that he needs no machinery.
The word need is very important here.
If I say I need my phone, or I need this pill, this drug to really fix my health, oh, I'm a diabetic, I identify, I attach with this thing.
That's an issue because, again, you're assuming what you attract, what you say you need is part of your essential nature.
So if we say we need slavery on Earth because who will pick the cotton?
We need slavery because, man, for thousands of years, that's how the systems work.
It's like the family structure.
It's like the government.
We need to have them because that's the way humans have always done things.
If we believe that, then we believe it's as natural as our family.
We believe it's as natural as just normal human interaction.
Divinely dominate over others and tell others how to live their own lives.
I mean, for thousands of years, people believed that.
It was natural.
They thought it was essential.
And there was no question as to if it was unnatural.
Well, luckily for us in technology, a lot of people are questioning if it's not necessary.
But many people are going to fall into the trap because that's what the nature of an illusion is.
They fall into the trap of seeing something as reality, thinking it's reality when in reality it's not.
So being able to decipher is where I have to put my focus, which is why I think permaculture is also another relevant solution to this.
Not only is it a solution to the economy and to feeling good.
I mean, there's benefits of just having a single plant on your desk.
So imagine being in nature as a whole.
But, you know, there's benefits for your health.
There's benefits for the local economy, the environment and the soil, the habitat, everything.
But also it connects you with nature hands on.
So permaculture to me not only is the solution to our freedoms, but also to this problem of technology, because now we're encouraging people to interact with nature directly.
Yes, I just wanted to bring that up.
That's important.
However, I would add and maybe counter a little bit that permaculture is so much easier when you have a backhoe.
And you need machinery to reshape the land, to build the swales, to affect water flow.
And I could not do what I do in terms of growing food without machinery, which means a combustion engine, which is considered low-tech.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for machinery.
I wouldn't have found your website.
Absolutely.
I wouldn't have written this book.
I wouldn't be on the interview right now.
I'm not discounting it.
I'm saying that we recognize that we don't necessarily need it and that our life is not dependent on it.
And that's where the key comes in.
Yeah, I absolutely hear you on that, too.
And I can live off-grid.
It sucks, by the way.
You're constantly working.
You're incredibly busy just to take care of everything.
I don't want to live entirely off-grid without electricity.
It's just that you're perceptually seeing that you're not a slave to it.
Yeah, exactly.
But just let me finish the thought on permaculture.
If you know what you're doing, if you have a permaculture plan for a piece of land, you can come in one time with machinery, reshape the land, reshape the contours, capture water, create areas that are beneficial for long-term sustainable food forests, and then after that, You don't have to have those machines back.
The one-time application of the machinery makes the management of that food force so much easier for decades to come or centuries to come.
So there is a role to bring in machinery, but we don't have to, if we're smart, we only use it to set up the conditions of nature taking over.
Right.
So again, the artificial, the man-made supporting the natural.
That's right.
Here's a great example of this.
On my ranch, let's say there's an area where there's a lot of rainwater just running and creating a ravine.
So it's eroding the soil.
Nothing wants to grow there because the water's not being captured.
So I bring in a bulldozer, let's say, and I make a little tank, as they're called in Texas, a little pond with a dam just to capture the water and And have a buffer before it runs off, okay?
So it's got a spillway.
That alone, if I do nothing else, trees will start to grow there because the water sticks around.
And I've seen this so many times on what I've done on my ranch.
I don't have to plant.
You'll start to have dewberries.
You'll start to have acorns.
You'll start to have wild food with no effort on your part because that's where Mother Nature takes over.
But I had to intervene and hold the water.
There's a good example of that.
Act only when necessary.
This is a part of the Taoist philosophy too of what they called ui wei because you gain muscle when you're resting.
You exercise in the gym, but it's only when you're resting is when you gain muscle.
When you put the plant in the ground, you put the plant in the ground, that's like 1% of the job.
The rest of the 99% is the plant just being there, sitting there.
So in Taoism and a lot of Eastern philosophies is this idea of being able to let life be.
Being able to be, in a way, content or know when to let go.
This is where meditation comes in and what they call effortlessness.
Being able to recognize that if you're a master at something, it's effortless.
It's natural.
They equate the word natural to the word essentially effortless because if something is so good, you don't have to really convince someone that it's good.
It will demonstrate its ability.
The actions demonstrate, show by example.
The plant in our reality, everything manifests on its own.
Our heart is beating on its own.
Our lungs are breathing on its own.
This is spontaneous.
And because of this spontaneous order, it's like this amazing order from nature, which is incredible.
It's like this machine that humans can't replicate.
If we tap into that and recognize that, we only act when necessary because we've got to be very careful with this machine.
This machine is powerful.
It can do a lot of things.
And we could even mess ourselves up a lot, as we have.
And we still have a great ability to do things because nature allows us to do so.
But it's really just seeing that most of our reality is actually manifest from this yin or this feminine energy.
Because without darkness, you don't have light.
So when we talk about power, when we talk about freedom, when we talk about actions and what do we do in technology, it's about recognizing those things that we don't see.
And it's also about recognizing when not to act.
That is more important than when to act and what we do see.
And so I want to emphasize that, right?
Because it has to do with natural law too.
Seeing laws that are all around us that are always at work, yet they're not necessarily physical or they're not always immediate because karma can take time.
We need to be able to observe and sit back and listen.
And we can only do that with our feminine yin side.
But if we're masculine, always got to have a grip on everything, got to control all these people, got to control all of nature, make sure that everything's perfectly controlled.
This is why gardening is not as popular as permaculture, because it's all controlled, whereas permaculture is saying, let's work with the natural environment and the forest, and let's replicate the forest in a food forest, an edible food forest.
So all they're doing is they're learning from nature and applying it to their own life and recognizing we need to eat food, so this is our human nature in relation to the natural world around us.
We're basically harmonizing the two.
And so this is why I make a differentiation between the man-made and the unnatural, just because something's man-made does not make it, by definition, unnatural.
And food and food forests, it's not structured.
It's not monoculture.
It's very diverse.
Now, I want to show you, go ahead and show my screen.
This is Kubota with its new autonomous AI tractor that sprays pesticides automatically on rows of monoculture crops.
You can also put a shredder on it and you'll have an AI tractor robot running around shredding things, hopefully not running over your dog or children or other things like that.
This is what's being pushed by a tractor company now.
Of course, all electric, no combustion engines allowed.
But this kind of automation is only possible when you have monoculture crop rows on land that's cleared of trees, land that, frankly, would be dead if they weren't falsifying the production by adding the synthetic fertilizers and so on.
To me, this is horrifying.
I mean, I don't want an AI robot tractor spraying toxins on food crops.
And their excuse is probably like, we need to feed a lot of people.
There's a lot of demand for food, but then what about decentralizing it all and teaching people how to grow their own food and having everybody have some small food forest, which can be done in a very small section or area, or vertical farming or all these other techniques.
And then people can trade and barter with each other.
Now you're helping literally everything.
The economy, people's self-sufficiency, their connection with their neighbor, with themselves, with nature.
I mean, this is all about stacking functions, right?
That's a principle in permaculture within itself.
Yeah, and by the way, then local farming also produces more local connections, which creates redundancy and resiliency, stronger families, stronger communities, whereas if you have just one rich farmer who's got the latest robotic tractor and he's farming 5,000 acres because he just hits go...
And it's like, well, what about the rest of society?
What are they doing?
It's symptom management.
That's all it is.
Just like the pills.
We'll keep inventing new pills.
Keep inventing new technologies.
But in reality, the answers are here.
And so we have to work with what is here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well said.
Let's talk about your website, theliberator.us.
Tell us a little bit about what people can find on your site.
You already mentioned one of your books, but what else is available?
Everything, you need to basically go to create freedom in your own life, to basically network with other people, connect with others in your area or around the world.
I have a networking section on there.
I have coordinators in different states.
Basically, if you can just email them, reach out.
And you can send us an article, turn into a video for you.
We have resources for pretty much everything on there, strategies and tips, like what you can do in your local area.
We have different systems set up like showcases, summits, like campaigns, nonpolitical campaigns, documentaries, live streams, radios, Truth Music Radio.
Everything is basically on there.
We have a learn page and an action page.
That's where I recommend people begin.
I have a video compilation three hours long.
It's also on Brightchown.
Be sure.
It's on every platform.
I have it usually on the top of all my channels.
It's like the most important freedom videos you need to watch.
It's got the best videos, I think, on the entire Internet regarding freedom videos.
It's like animations, very well done, easy to understand.
So if anybody's ever new to these freedom concepts, they want to get to the root cause, I would recommend that Learn page or that video, which is also linked on that page.
And again, my focus is the abolitionist, because really...
They taught us that there's this monumental truth that all government originates in slavery.
And I'm waiting for the historian to challenge me on that and say I'm wrong.
I'm going to go to colleges.
And this is like my public announcement, Mike.
I'll make it a little bit on here, I guess.
I'm going to go to colleges.
I'm going to pull off a Milo Yiannopoulos in a way.
Well, maybe.
I followed him when I was 16 in 2016.
I loved it.
I loved the energy.
But the truth is, my generation needs help.
They have a lot of mental problems.
This generation overall needs help with their freedoms and everything that's going on.
I want to be there for my generation.
I'm going to go to the colleges.
I'm going to make connections.
I'm going to do events there.
And I'm going to share my book.
And I'm going to challenge the professors.
And I'm going to encourage that the students empower themselves and see the value that they have.
Not to be dependent on any doctor, any government, any entrepreneur or person giving them advice on the internet.
I just want to be myself.
And that's what I'm going to tell them.
I'm myself.
Why should you trust me and my words?
Because I'm not trying to be someone.
I want them to be powerful.
I don't want people to look up to me.
I want people to look up to themselves and see the inherent value within themselves.
When they understand slavery, they can set their own boundaries.
They can solve their own relationships, get out of all their top behaviors.
They can understand parts of their mind that they've never accessed before.
Slavery is, to me, the pinnacle of what it means to say something is tyrannical or something is evil.
So the opposite of slavery is freedom, and that's everything that's good and loving and everything that people desire in their life, whether they're free from disease or free from being controlled by all the different aspects of society and government and even if their parents are overly controlling or even if they whether they're free from disease or free from being controlled by all the different aspects of society and government and even if their parents are overly controlling or even
Well, they can if they understand the simple dynamic of what is slavery that I define in detail.
How come historians have not observed the nature of slavery and gathered all the material that I've gathered from the abolitionists talking about the full nature of slavery?
It puzzles me, but that's why I created it, and I hope to effect change on the college campuses very shortly.
Well, that sounds like a very exciting journey that you're on, and I always laugh when people say, well, America ended slavery.
I'm like, are you kidding me?
What do you do every April 15th?
You file taxes, financial slavery.
Yeah, tell me a government that wasn't founded on war.
Tell me a government that doesn't have taxation, doesn't have imprisoned systems.
That's literally what slavery is founded upon.
Look up, how do you make someone a slave?
Indoctrination, war, jail.
In America, we have actual prison slave labor to benefit corporations.
Yeah.
Don't we have more people in jail per capita than any other nation in the world?
We're like 80% of the world's prisoners.
And by the way, over 80% of it is victimless.
Right.
That's right.
Extraordinary.
All right.
Well, Corey, your thoughts and your message here are very critical for our time because we are devolving into a theocratic dictatorship at the moment, it turns out.
And under Zionism control, by the way, which is crazy scary to see this happening in real time in front of us.
We need to reassert our freedom, which means we need to understand what is freedom.
We need to understand how slavery is achieved so that we can overcome it.
And express our true liberty and freedom.
So Corey, I want to thank you for your time today.
Your website again is theliberator.us and thank you for contributing some of your interviews for our AI language model project, by the way, that will definitely have a very positive impact on the knowledge base in our system.
Thank you for your insights and everything you've always done.
Seriously, you deserve it.
If anybody I can ever observe in independent media, you've done the most projects and I'd say the most innovation regarding different things.
Somebody should have developed an AI chat model.
The fact that you're doing it is amazing.
We're just getting started, man.
Wait till you see what we have in mind over the next year.
It'll blow you away.
One final thought.
I would love to see an action page on your website, Natural News.
Just my personal tip.
And overnight, we can affect change in independent media.
If you and Alex Jones or some of the biggest names told your followers to stop paying taxes, just putting that out there.
One town, one community, that's all it takes.
That's how simple it is.
Henry David Thoreau said we could have a peaceful revolution that way.
Leo Tolstoy said that's the solution, is noncompliance.
Non-compliance, withdraw consent.
Hey, it's coming from me.
You don't have to say it.
It's coming from me.
I know it's a bold one.
It's one that requires a sacrifice, but there has not been freedom ever achieved without sacrifice in history.
Well, there would be about a million unemployed accountants who mostly just work for the IRS, but somehow we have to pay them to do our taxes to pay the IRS. Yeah, the system's all jacked up, that's for sure.
But we'll talk about noncompliance more when we do another interview with you down the road.
I look forward to talking with you again.
Thank you for joining me today.
Very grateful.
Thank you so much.
Alright, thank you, Corey.

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.
