	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Tuesday, June 18th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams, of course.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And today is voting day in Virginia.
	So if you're listening in Virginia, please get out and vote.
	And this is the primary day for the United States Senate position.
	And as you know, I've interviewed Jonathan Emord.
	I donated to his campaign.
	He's running as the GOP nominee for U.S. Senator.
	He's running against...
	Eddie Garcia, I believe.
	And just for the record, we reached out to Eddie Garcia's team and we invited them to an interview last week.
	And they declined the interview, so I was not able to interview Eddie.
	And we also did a story about the other candidate, Hung Kao, and some of the issues that he is facing with his fundraising team.
	activities and also, well, other issues.
	So get out and vote today if you're in Virginia.
	Now, for everybody else, check this out.
	A lot of other news.
	Malaysia is going to join BRICS. So what do we have?
	A couple weeks ago, Thailand said they're going to join BRICS. And then Turkey said, yep, we're in.
	Now today, Malaysia is going to join BRICS. And this was published by Guan Cha in China and then picked up by RT. Says that Malaysia has decided to apply for BRICS membership and will start filing the official paperwork soon, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
	We have made our policy clear and we have made our decision.
	This is a quote.
	We will start the formal process soon, he says.
	We are waiting for the final result and the feedback from the South African government, because, of course, South Africa is part of the original BRICS, the BRICS 5.
	Anwar mentioned bringing up the subject in a recent meeting with Brazilian President Da Silva.
	And get this, from the RT article, it says Kuala Lumpur's potential membership, that's Malaysia, the capital of Malaysia, their potential membership into the organization would be of strategic significance as one of the world's most important shipping lanes, the Malacca Strait, connecting the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
	It's located between Malaysia and the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
	Now, I've said this many times.
	It's really critical to look at geography because geography feeds into geopolitics.
	If you don't understand the geography, you can never really make sense of what's going on.
	For example, with the Houthis right now in Yemen, you can easily see how they assert power over the Red Sea, which has shut down the ports feeding Israel, which is shutting down Israel's economy and trade.
	And so whoever controls the routes leading to the ports is in control of, well, world trade.
	And since the United States of America for several decades has gone into a global trade configuration Where we rely on other countries to process food.
	Like, the United States will ship hogs to China and have them processed into pork.
	And then the pork gets shipped back to the U.S. We won't even do the hog processing in the U.S. in many cases.
	There's some pretty crazy stuff going on.
	But the U.S. depends on the security of ocean trade routes in order to bring products in and also export products for processing.
	So when Malaysia announced that it's joining BRICS, and if you understand that one quarter of the world's sea trade, one quarter of it passes through the Strait of Malacca, So this is just south of the Malay Peninsula.
	And if you bring it up on a map, the Strait of Malacca, it's got Malaysia to the north, Indonesia to the south, and of course at the very tip of Malaysia is Singapore.
	And then...
	Just to the north of that is the Gulf of Thailand.
	And then you've got Vietnam and Cambodia and Thailand and Laos and so on.
	The point is that the shipping routes take a quarter of the world's trade through this straight.
	A quarter.
	And think about how much of the world's trade goes through the Suez Canal, which has now been largely shut down to US, UK and Israeli vessels.
	Because of the Yemeni military, as we talked about yesterday, and now Malaysia is going to be joining BRICS. So what you are watching here, I mean, this is why the US NDAA, we covered this a couple days ago, is putting all kinds of new money into a plan to secure the Panama Canal.
	You know why that's critical?
	Because the Panama Canal...
	It's what allows US naval vessels to relatively quickly move from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
	It gives the Navy, you know, more world coverage without as much delay.
	And the Panama Canal may be the very last canal or passageway that the West has available to it.
	Because if the Strait of Malacca gets...
	You know, selectively shut down and the Suez Canal is already selectively blocked by the Yemenis, at least partially.
	Then, you know, the options start getting very bad for US naval vessels and also US cargo vessels or just cargo destined to the US. And the reason Malaysia is joining the BRICS system here is exactly what I've shared with you over the last several months.
	This is from the story.
	According to Anwar, Malaysia is relieved that the world is no longer unipolar.
	Yeah, that's because the U.S. Empire is the bully of the world.
	And everybody in the world is sick and tired of the U.S. Empire bully.
	So, continuing from the story, the rise of BRICS and China, in particular, according to Malaysia, has offered, quote, a glimmer of hope that there are checks and balances in the world.
	Yeah, because the Western liberal world order is far from liberal.
	It's not democratic.
	They don't promote democracy.
	They promote global tyranny, authoritarianism, a one-world government under the control of the West with sanctions on everybody and military threats on everybody.
	This is what the world now sees, because this is what the U.S. has become.
	So, you know, in pursuit of this idea of being a liberal democracy, the West has abandoned democracy.
	They've abandoned liberalism, or like sort of neoclassical liberalism.
	They've abandoned freedom of speech.
	They've abandoned the rule of law.
	They've abandoned the right of anybody else to coexist.
	And now the U.S. empire functions solely as a predator nation.
	I mean, Senator Lindsey Graham said it the other day about Ukraine.
	He's like, we have to win in Ukraine because there's trillions of dollars of minerals there.
	Not because he gives a crap about the Ukrainian people.
	It's because of all the assets in the ground.
	That's all he cares about.
	Lindsey Graham is the perfect example of the predator empire.
	John McCain was another such example.
	And that's why I think they named an aircraft carrier after him, didn't they?
	I think they did.
	If not, they should have.
	Because these are predators.
	And Malaysia, and Thailand, and of course India, and Turkey, and South Africa, and Russia, and Brazil.
	Everybody else is sick and tired of it.
	So according to Anwar in Malaysia, the West wants to control the discourse of the world.
	But he says we can no longer accept it because they are no longer a colonial power and independent countries should be free to express themselves.
	Wow!
	This is the Prime Minister of Malaysia telling the U.S. to go pound sand.
	Okay, this would not have happened five years ago or ten years ago.
	So 30 countries...
	Are now planning to join BRICS. This is on top of all the countries that have already joined, including Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
	So let's see.
	Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam have already said they want to join BRICS. The 2024 BRICS Summit is scheduled for October in Russia.
	This is Russia's turn to preside over Russia.
	The BRICS organization, because it rotates year by year, but this is Russia's year.
	So what's going to happen this October?
	You're going to see the end of the dollar rapidly accelerate, just months away.
	Frankly, the end of the dollar has already begun.
	But notice how often I'm bringing you news about another country that says we're going to join BRICS. And when they say that, you know what that means?
	We're going to leave the SWIFT system.
	We're going to stop using dollars.
	And remember, Saudi Arabia just announced that they're not renewing the 50-year agreement that required oil to be sold in dollars.
	They're selling oil right now in rupees and rubles and yuan and whatever.
	Saudi Arabia...
	Is no longer a U.S. ally, at least not in terms of its currency.
	There are still some political alignments.
	For example, seeing Iran as the enemy.
	But over time, you can bet that Saudi Arabia is going to be moving closer and closer to eastern powers and moving further away from western influence.
	But anyway, getting back to the Strait of Malacca, If the Strait of Malacca is controlled by Malaysia and by Indonesia, and by the way, Indonesia is mostly a Muslim country, and let's see, let me look that up.
	How many people in Indonesia practice Islam?
	Alright, just looking that up, it says 87%.
	Wow.
	Okay, I actually thought it was more like 95%, but it's 87%, and the rest are mostly Christians.
	So Turkey is also mostly an Islamic country.
	I think 95% of Turks are Islamic.
	But the point is here, when you're looking at this map of the Strait of Malacca, So I'm going to ask my editor to actually zoom in and show you a more zoomed-in map.
	All right, and here in the zoomed-in map, you can see it better.
	So you can see KL, Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.
	You can see Singapore there at the southeastern tip of Malaysia.
	And I gave speeches in Singapore and Malaysia many years ago, speeches in network security.
	Let's see.
	I've never been to Indonesia, but I've known people from Indonesia.
	So anyway, the point is you can see that the Strait of Malacca is incredibly narrow.
	And just to the southern tip of Singapore, there's the Strait of Singapore.
	A lot of ships go right through there.
	The Strait of Singapore, then they go through the Strait of Malacca.
	Malacca.
	And then they continue on into the Indian Ocean.
	And then, you know, from there they can have access to much of the Middle East and so on.
	So think about it.
	25% of the world's trade is going to go between two countries that are mostly Islamic.
	As Israel and the West, the U.S. and the U.K., are waging war, and many would argue genocidal war, Against mostly practitioners of Islam.
	My point is that if Indonesia wanted to go full Yemen, or if Malaysia wanted to, it would be smart for Malaysia to join BRICS first so they couldn't be hurt by economic sanctions, and then for Malaysia and perhaps Indonesia together to cut off the Strait of Malacca to Western vessels.
	Thereby Halting much of the world trade to the U.S., the U.K., and Israel.
	Meanwhile, just as with the Red Sea and Yemen, Chinese ships and Russian ships are allowed to pass unmolested.
	You know, like the little sign you have on the hotel door?
	No molesto!
	It's like, I wasn't planning unmolesto!
	What are you talking about?
	Unmolested ships!
	We'll be allowed to pass through.
	That's India.
	That's all the eastern countries.
	That's all the BRICS nations.
	So Brazil, think about it.
	South Africa, Russia, China, India, Saudi Arabia, all their ships are no molesto.
	What do you think that's going to do to world trade?
	Now, I have talked about this at length.
	I've said...
	That the entire economic model of the West is contingent upon control of the sea lanes, and control of the sea lanes is dependent on the projection of power from the United States Navy.
	Also, control of the canals, or the straits in this case.
	And also, don't forget the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Iran, where some significant portion of the world's energy exports pass through something like, I don't know, what is...
	60% of the natural gas exports to Europe or something like that, I may not have that number right, but it's a big chunk, goes to the Strait of Hormuz.
	So what happens when the BRICS nations decide we're just going to clamp down, we're going to have economic sanctions against Western trade routes?
	Because all these countries are sick and tired of the West inflicting economic sanctions against them.
	It's like thousands of individuals and companies in Russia have been targeted with economic sanctions, but it's true also in China.
	And no doubt it's true in Malaysia.
	It's true in Indonesia.
	It's true in India.
	The U.S. weaponizes trade to inflict punishment and economic destruction upon other nations, including, in many cases, its own ally nations around the world.
	How much do you want to bet the world is going to push back against that?
	They're going to dump the dollar.
	They're going to block the sea routes.
	And if the U.S. Navy tries to make a fuss about it, It's hypersonic missile time.
	In fact, I need to show you a video about that that is highly disturbing.
	Alright, so this is a video that was released by China.
	This is an animation.
	This is all CGI, not actual video, but this is their plan.
	So these are Chinese bombers that look a lot like the Russian bombers, interestingly.
	And then here they are launching missiles from their ships, and these are hypersonic missiles.
	And so they're targeting United States aircraft carriers.
	Wow, look at the speed.
	So that's hypersonic, you know, that's like Mach 5 or Mach 9 or whatever it is.
	So this is showing as the missiles are arriving at their targets, which is the U.S. Navy.
	And the U.S. Navy is shooting back and maybe taking out some of these incoming missiles, a few of them, but not all of them, and many of these missiles find their targets.
	So yeah, you can see the U.S. Navy is shooting back, but to no avail.
	So this is China's view of what's about to happen to the United States Navy.
	And I don't see anything in this video that is fiction.
	This is all realistic capabilities right now.
	This is what exists in China's arsenal and also Russia's arsenal.
	And this video will end, no doubt, with these US aircraft carriers sinking.
	And that day is probably not far off.
	I mean, it might be days away.
	It might be weeks away.
	We don't know for sure.
	But I want to show you that because not only does this indicate that this is something that China intends to accomplish, but also that they have the capability to do that.
	There's nothing stopping them from doing that.
	So the global assault against the U.S. empire, which is coming because under Biden and Obama especially, the U.S. managed to piss off everybody on the planet.
	Just treating all the other countries like dirt, you know, carrying out economic sabotage operations, economic sanctions, assassinations, color revolutions, infrastructure sabotage like the Nord Stream pipelines, destroying Germany's energy supply, and so on and so forth.
	The whole world is sick and tired of the U.S. Except maybe Israel because we keep providing more bombs and weapons and money.
	And of course Ukraine, which is not even really a country anymore.
	It's a failed state at this point.
	The whole world is sick of the U.S. So here's what's going to happen.
	There's going to come a series of days very close together where the world repudiates the dollar.
	The world sells off U.S. Treasury debt and the world shuts down the sea lanes, the trade routes, such as the Strait of Malacca, like we've been talking about, and the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
	And and oh, yeah, on top of that, then China and Russia would use hypersonic missiles to sink U.S. aircraft carriers.
	And from that day, folks.
	It's over for U.S. hegemony.
	It's over for the dollar.
	It's over for U.S. affordability.
	Any products that you can manage to import, you're going to pay 1,000% higher prices and literally 10 times more for anything imported.
	So if you think right now like a washing machine from, let's say, South Korea, like an automatic dishwasher, let's say it's 500 bucks, okay?
	Some of them are 1,000.
	Instead of $500, you're going to pay $5,000.
	Because your currency is going to be crap, and the trade routes aren't going to be functioning.
	And China will control.
	China will control the Far Pacific region.
	China is building ships like crazy.
	I wish I could show you this map.
	Ah, here it is.
	Okay, this is one Chinese shipyard.
	So in this one Chinese shipyard, what is it?
	Jiangnan.
	They have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ships in the shipyards being built or upgraded.
	13 ships.
	In the United States, we have virtually no more functioning shipyards.
	Maybe we can handle like one aircraft carrier at a time.
	Some of our aircraft carriers don't even function.
	They're just perpetually in the shipyard.
	I mean, our shipyard capability in the U.S. is literally 1 200th, or 0.5% of that of China.
	That came out in a study last year.
	So China has 200 times more shipyard construction capability, dry dock capability, than does the United States.
	And the picture, the satellite image that you're looking at here is just one little shipyard out of many.
	China is going to absolutely dominate all of the seas of the West Pacific.
	So here's a map of the South China Sea in the center, mostly.
	And what do you see?
	China to the north.
	Taiwan, you know, just off the coast of China there.
	Then Japan is up there on the very top north edge of this map.
	What you need to understand is, you know, look at Malaysia.
	Look at the Philippines.
	Manila is in the center of this.
	The South China Sea.
	China will control this entire area with its very capable, mighty navy.
	China will be patrolling this and enforcing the trade routes.
	And Australia is all the way, you know, to the south of this map.
	There's New Guinea.
	You know, you can see Indonesia and Malaysia we talked about before.
	But look at Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam.
	Myanmar and then India on the western edge of this.
	These are major trading partners with the United States.
	Major trading partners.
	You have the Gulf of Tonkin there.
	You have the Spratly Islands, which are highly disputed.
	China's going to take them.
	You've got the Java Sea, the Philippines Sea, all of it.
	Just think of this map as Chinese territory in terms of its Navy and the projection of naval power.
	Now, here's what's crazy is that the United States of America and its leaders like, you know, Lindsey Graham and so on, they think that they're going to roll into the Taiwan Strait, which is right between China and Taiwan.
	They think they're going to roll in there.
	With their naval vessels.
	And they don't even have the ammo supply or resupply ships anymore in the U.S. Navy.
	They got rid of those.
	I think those are called the ship tenders or the resupply ships.
	Forgive me if I don't have the right term here.
	But the US Navy mostly got rid of those.
	So the U.S. battle groups have to sail all the way across the Pacific to the western edge of Taiwan, fight with a bunch of Chinese ships where China has 200 times more dry dock capability than does the United States.
	And somehow the U.S. Navy has to survive the barrage of land based missiles from all over the east coast of China because China will be launching the crap out of every missile that they have, which is a lot of.
	If you thought Yemen did a number on the Red Sea, wait until China just starts launching missiles at U.S. naval vessels in the Taiwan Strait.
	The U.S. Navy will be destroyed there if they're dumb enough to sit there.
	But if the U.S. Navy even survives that, then they have to sail all the way back to the U.S., And then get resupplied and repair damage and, I don't know, bring on new bodies to replace all the sailors that were killed in the last attack.
	And then they've got to sail all the way back to Taiwan.
	How long does that take?
	How long does it take an aircraft carrier to sail across the Pacific?
	I don't know, like 12 days?
	I'm guessing.
	Is it 12 days?
	Is it 15 days?
	If they go really, really fast, can they do it in like 10 days?
	I don't know.
	But it's more like a couple of weeks, I'm pretty sure.
	Maybe longer.
	I'm not sure exactly, okay?
	But it's not tomorrow.
	Whereas China, all they got to do, their ships, I mean, they can just launch all kinds of new ships right there.
	Look, the days of the U.S. Navy dominating the South China Sea and dominating the Taiwan Strait and dominating the Philippine Sea and all that, it's over.
	It's over.
	You're going to see U.S. aircraft carriers at the bottom of various oceans or straits, probably very soon.
	And you're going to see the dollar abandoned by these countries.
	You're going to see everybody embrace bricks.
	And then America's trade routes are going to be gone.
	And then there's going to be an economic embargo against America.
	Because all these nations are sick and tired of what America has done to the world.
	There's going to be a total economic embargo.
	No exports to America.
	Not even from China.
	No exports to the UK. This is what's going to happen, I believe, globally.
	And it's coordinated.
	And from that day, the dollar is dead.
	Washington, D.C. collapses.
	The U.S. economy, just absolute catastrophic implosion.
	Dollar's done.
	Social chaos in the cities and the streets of America.
	People can't get products, can't get food, can't get paid, can't get fuel.
	Nothing.
	The world is increasingly poised to do this.
	And why?
	It's because the US has been the worst neighbor imaginable.
	It's because the US has treated the whole world like dirt.
	Instead of saying that, hey, country ABC, you have a right to exist.
	You have a right to have your own culture.
	No, instead of that, the U.S. was like, here, transgenderism in your face!
	You know?
	You have to do what we say!
	You have to buy oil in dollars!
	You have to have gay pride parades!
	Even in the Muslim countries!
	Muslims are like, what the hell?
	Like...
	Praise Allah!
	Let's destroy these colonial powers or whatever they're saying.
	It's like they're sick and tired of all the transgenderism, LGBT, rainbow pride parade, garbage nonsense, brainwashing, indoctrination, gaslighting, propaganda from the West.
	They're sick and tired of it.
	Plus, having all their own natural resources exploited.
	And stolen from them by the West.
	So all that is coming to an end.
	And this is why the Western leaders are so damn desperate, because their reign of terror over the world is coming to an end.
	So when I see Malaysia announce this decision that they just did, I'm not surprised.
	And I got to say, I don't want to see America destroyed.
	But this is the path that our incompetent leaders have put us on.
	I would love to live in a country known as the United States of America that simply competes in a friendly manner, in an ethical manner with other nations around the world.
	Like, hey, you sell bananas and we sell iPhones.
	Let's trade.
	Or we export oil and you have blue jeans or whatever.
	Can we just trade with each other and not bomb each other and sanction and weaponize and confiscate?
	The West has stolen $300 billion of Russia's money.
	This is financial suicide for the West.
	The whole world is looking at that.
	And they're saying, oh my God, don't store any money in Western currencies or Western banks because the Western leaders will just steal it from you.
	They'll just take it.
	As Vladimir Putin said, three words, theft is theft.
	I wish I knew how to say that in Russian, because that sounds like a really powerful thing to say in Russian.
	I'm going to have to see how to say that in Russian.
	This is so powerful.
	Theft is theft.
	You stole $300 billion of Russia's money.
	What do you think is going to happen?
	Well, guess what?
	Russian leaders are saying that they're going to demand repayment.
	They're going to demand compensation.
	Here it is.
	Our favorite bull in a China shop, Medvedev, the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council.
	Gosh, I didn't know that was his official title.
	I've been calling him like 50 different titles because I can never remember the right title, but basically he's like Russia's bad cop.
	He says the West is waging a war without rules.
	And here's what he said.
	He said this yesterday.
	Moscow is going to be, quote, evaluating the damage done so as to be able to demand compensation from the countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia.
	He suggested that one could start systematizing and evaluating the damage done to countries that have suffered from sanctions adopted in circumvention of the UN Security Council.
	Yeah, because, you know, the US sanctions are illegal, by the way.
	Never stop the U.S. They just do whatever the hell they want.
	He goes on to say that a number of nations would be subject to potential claims and that a, quote, register of losses inflicted by crimes of the colonial epoch and neocolonialism would be necessary to get this process off the ground and that it's important for countries to be seeking justice from former colonial powers.
	So I can imagine how this is going to go.
	This is going to be very interesting.
	So, after the U.S. is utterly defeated in Europe, which is not that far away, Russia's going to say something like, and this is just my guess, Russia's going to say, you owe us, you know, 300 billion dollars.
	That's just for starters, you know, plus like half a trillion in damage or whatever, military costs.
	You owe us one trillion dollars.
	And the West is going to say, go pound sand, Russia.
	We're not going to pay you jack.
	And Medvedev is going to say, no problem.
	We deduct missile by missile.
	Every missile we launch at Western City, we deduct $1 billion.
	It's like, so let's see, you owe us like $1,000 billion, so it's going to be 1,000 warheads.
	And then we'll call it even.
	Like something like that.
	I would imagine.
	This is probably the way Medvedev is thinking.
	Now, again, I can't get into his head.
	This is just my guess.
	But Russia is not going to sit there and just get looted and stolen from by the West.
	They're going to extract some kind of repayment of some kind from the West, and we'll see what that is.
	Now, interestingly...
	As I was looking at that story, something popped up.
	Breaking news from Reuters.
	Ukraine on the brink of default.
	Kiev has failed to strike a deal with its international bondholders, according to a report.
	So that includes financial giants BlackRock and PIMCO. They're trying to restructure Ukraine's $20 billion in euro bonds.
	So wait a minute.
	Are you saying that the nearly $200 billion that the U.S. has committed to Ukraine so far, I mean, it's close to $200 billion?
	In that $200 billion, they couldn't figure out a way to repay $20 billion worth of loans?
	Well, of course not, because all the money's gone.
	They took the money and ran.
	Well, they bought casinos and luxury hotels and resorts and whatever.
	So from the story here, in February 2022, bondholders granted Ukraine a two-year debt freeze because of the Russian conflict.
	But that agreement ends in August.
	Ooh, not far away.
	Two months away.
	Bondholders are anxious for Kiev to begin paying interest on this debt.
	Ukraine could end up in default if new debt relief is not arranged, which would damage the country's credit rating.
	Really?
	Does Ukraine have a credit rating?
	Who, what moron would loan Ukraine money at this point?
	Oh wait, all the European leaders would, yeah, but backing it with Russia's money, stolen money from Russia, is now what's backing the $50 billion new loan to Ukraine that's being put forth by the Western leaders.
	But again, it's like, you steal all this money from Russia and then that's your loan to Ukraine?
	I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
	The West is just suicidal, financially incompetent.
	The Western currencies are going to collapse.
	And it's very clear the future of the world is a multipolar world with bricks, currencies, bricks, trade, new trade routes.
	America is in real trouble in that future world.
	So is the UK. So is Israel.
	Israel's days are numbered.
	No question about it, because how will the US support Israel if the dollar goes to zero?
	Answer?
	It won't.
	It can't.
	How will the US protect Israel if the US Navy has its aircraft carriers destroyed by hypersonic missiles from Russia and China?
	Well, the question answers itself.
	Israel will be naked.
	Taiwan will be naked.
	Ukraine is already done.
	And don't forget how many Western leaders said that, oh, Putin has already lost the war.
	I can assure you, Putin has lost the war.
	Russia, they're done.
	They lost.
	Like, how many times did we hear that over the last year and a half?
	It's only a matter of time.
	All lies.
	All lies.
	Because in reality...
	Ukraine has lost the war.
	NATO has lost the war.
	The dollar has lost.
	The dollar will go to zero.
	We're seeing it every single day.
	Every day I have something else to report to you about this.
	About the dollar, about trade routes.
	Every single day.
	And now we hear Ukraine is about to go into financial default.
	Well, What else would we expect from a failed nation?
	How's a failed nation going to pay any debt back?
	The only way they can pay back debt is if they borrow from somebody else.
	Ukraine cannot earn its way out of any of this.
	How are you going to earn enough money to pay off the debt when millions of people already left your country?
	When you've sacrificed all your young men in the war, half a million Ukrainian men are dead or injured.
	Your electrical power infrastructure is severely damaged.
	You've lost the industrial base of the Donbass region.
	You're going to lose Odessa.
	You're going to lose your southern ports.
	How is Ukraine going to pay back any loans?
	The answer is, it's not.
	And anybody who thinks that Ukraine can pay these back is delusional.
	You might as well think that men can have babies.
	Ukraine is, as a nation...
	It's in default.
	It's a failed state.
	Now, maybe they can bring it back in some new configuration if they could find peace with Putin and say, okay, we're going to have peace.
	These are going to be the new boundaries.
	You know, we're going to redraw this.
	This is Ukraine now.
	It's going to be a lot smaller than it used to be.
	But if Putin agrees to it, it's like, okay, no more war.
	We can all back off.
	And Ukraine, you don't join NATO. You don't put missiles in there.
	You don't threaten Russia.
	Now we have this giant buffer zone called the Donbass region.
	You know, Lugansk and Donetsk and all the others, Zaporizhia.
	Now we have this buffer zone.
	So we'll consider that done.
	The West can't live with that.
	The Western leaders are like, no, we'd rather have nukes flying.
	And so that's what they're going to get.
	But the practical thing for you...
	Is it everything you buy that comes from overseas is about to get crazy scarce or crazy expensive as these plans roll out?
	What I'm describing, the global shutdown of the trade routes, the global demise of Western currencies, the yen is in trouble, the euro is dead, the dollar is dead.
	It's just a matter of time.
	It's a walking zombie currency at the moment.
	It's like a Michael Jackson zombie video thriller, you know?
	Okay, the dollar thriller is here.
	It's doing a zombie walk.
	And pretty soon, it's just going to collapse.
	Don't be holding zombie dollars when that day comes.
	That's all I'm saying.
	This is just the first story of several I need to cover today, but it's like Can you imagine the people, how screwed they are if they don't understand this?
	How screwed are the average oblivious people who watch CNN and listen to NPR and like, everything's great.
	Joe Biden's so popular.
	There's no inflation, you know, and we've defeated Russia already.
	These people are beyond clueless.
	It's like what they have coming is going to be so psychologically fracturing to those people.
	I wouldn't be surprised if their heads explode.
	Oh, man, not another one.
	Dang it, man.
	You got something on my car!
	Their heads are going to explode all over the country when reality hits.
	Try not to be nearby.
	Because, you know, they'll blow spike protein, too.
	If they took a bunch of vaccines, they have spike protein all in their brains and then their heads explode.
	They're like little spike protein landmines, like walking human spike protein mines.
	Or improvised explosive devices.
	Or IED actually should stand for inoculation explosive devices, you know.
	Got vaccinated, spike protein in the head, heads explode, like spreading spike protein everywhere.
	Kind of like a zombie movie, actually, come to think of it.
	Just try not to be near them when that happens.
	In order to know where we are in world history, especially with currencies here and the end of the dollar, it's important to be able to look at the full map of the history of world reserve currencies.
	This is something that the corporate media never does.
	They want you to just zoom in and focus on the now and all the spin and lies.
	There's no inflation.
	Everything's fine.
	Money printing doesn't matter.
	Well, that's interesting because if you look at the big map of history, it tells a very different story.
	And by the way, remember when malls used to exist and you would walk into a mall to do some shopping?
	I know some malls are still around, but nobody uses them anymore.
	Anyway, there would be a map of the mall, right?
	And there would be a red dot usually that says, you are here.
	And you go, oh, that's where we are, because it was always confusing.
	Like, where are we?
	And that's like watching CNBC. It's like, where are we?
	Nobody knows.
	But I'm going to give you a red dot of you are here.
	Now, in order to understand this, let's start with, let's see, an announcement from the BRICS nations.
	BRICS nations now say they're in the final stages of completing their de-dollarization program.
	Okay, so the economic ministers of leading BRICS member countries have announced they're in the final stages.
	I'm reading from Watcher.guru.
	A story.
	BRICS makes major de-dollarization announcement.
	And of course, this was before we learned that Malaysia wants to join BRICS. And also, I think before Thailand said they're going to join BRICS. And of course, Turkey has announced they're going to join BRICS as well.
	But the bloc's goal is for its multipolar international monetary system to mark the end of the U.S. dollar as the sole global reserve currency.
	A new payment system has been rumored and discussed for a significant time, but now the BRICS alliance has officially confirmed its development and its first target, the U.S. dollar.
	So let's look at the map, shall we?
	Okay, the U.S. dollar has been the world reserve currency since about 1921.
	So you could say, well, over 100 years.
	That's pretty amazing, actually.
	You could say, well, the dollar's been the world reserve currency for about 103 years, give or take.
	But what was the world reserve currency before the dollar, before the U.S. currency?
	What do you suppose it was?
	Well, those of you who know a little bit about history will, of course, immediately recognize it was the British pound.
	So Great Britain had the world reserve currency.
	And how long did they have it, by the way?
	Not a lot of people think about that.
	Turns out they had the world reserve currency status for about...
	Well, 105 years or so.
	From 1815 to 1920 is what's generally recognized.
	So, again, the dollar is at 103 years at the moment, or 104 if you include the bookends of it.
	And the British pound lasted about 105 years.
	And then, of course, it was replaced by the dollar.
	But if the British Pound became essentially the World Reserve Currency in 1815, what was the World Reserve Currency before the British Pound?
	Well, it turns out that it was France and its currency, although there were several different currencies throughout the 18th century in France, but I think the most popular one was called Livre.
	L-I-V-R-E. Livre.
	Livre.
	I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly.
	Livre.
	We'll just say it's Livre.
	So the Livre was the world reserve currency from 1720 to 1815.
	So 95 years.
	Are you beginning to notice a pattern?
	Hmm, interesting.
	So everything was done in the known modern world in the French Livre.
	But what was the currency before France had the world reserve currency status?
	Huh?
	Well, it turns out that It was the world reserve currency from 1640 to 1720.
	So what is that, 80 years?
	They didn't even make it to 90 years or 95 years.
	I think the collapse of tulip bulb mania had something to do with that.
	Otherwise, maybe they would have lasted 95 years or maybe 100 years.
	Who knows?
	But of course, the obvious question here is, okay, before the Dutch had World Reserve Currency status, and remember the Dutch were very successful in the 17th century, and they occupied a lot of different countries and lands and had claimed all kinds of lands and natural resources and so on, but that ended.
	But who was in charge of the World Reserve Currency before the Dutch?
	Well, if you guessed Spain...
	You nailed it.
	So Spain had dominance from 1530 to 1640 with the Spanish Real.
	So they had 90 years of dominance with the Spanish currency and of course that was during a time when there was a lot of Ocean-faring exploration and trade to India and, of course, the Americas, which is ultimately why Native Americans in modern-day America were called Indians because, right, the explorers thought they had landed in India.
	As in, like, India!
	We are in India!
	But it turned out it was not India.
	It was the United States of America.
	And they did not speak Hindi.
	Hindi.
	Or any other languages.
	All the many different dialects spoken in modern day India.
	Aren't there like 500 of them?
	Who can keep track?
	But anyway, so Spain had the Real, and that was the dominant currency.
	And then, of course, before 1530, now this is a really tough question.
	I had to look a lot of these up myself, of course.
	It turns out it was Portugal.
	From 1450 to 1530.
	So Portugal had the World Reserve currency status for about 80 years, and their currency was also called the Real.
	Alright, so starting from, let's start in the mid-15th century.
	Let's start with the year 1450.
	And let's start there and kind of fast forward to the present, okay?
	So Portugal, let's see, 80 years with the Real, right?
	And then we have Spain with the Real for 110 years.
	That seems to be a record.
	Good job, Spain.
	The Netherlands with the Gilder that only lasted 80 years.
	And then we have France with the Livre in mostly the 18th century that lasted, what is that, 95 years.
	And then the British Pound that lasted...
	105 years, and now we have the US dollar that is currently at 103 years.
	Are you noticing a pattern?
	Now in each one of these cases, the collapse of the world reserve currency status was accompanied often, well it was caused typically by fiat currency mass printing.
	This is what Spain did, this is what France did, this is what Great Britain did.
	The Netherlands had their tulip bulb mania fiasco that caused a tremendous amount of economic chaos.
	And then, of course, intertwined in this history is the East India Company, which became a British public company, a stock company that suffered a catastrophic Ponzi scheme type of collapse.
	And it looks like it was dissolved in 1874, but it was founded in 1600.
	So during the large reign of the British pound, this East India trading company or shipping company was a big part of the bubble and the expansion of credit, actually, that led to ultimately collapse. actually, that led to ultimately collapse.
	Now, in terms of the U.S. dollar, COVID was an event that was accompanied by a massive expansion of credit.
	I forgot the exact number, but in the last three and a half to four years, something like 70% of all the money that's ever been created in the history of the United States of America was created just during that time.
	So COVID was an emergency that allowed the U.S. government to do a massive monetary expansion to try to keep this ship sailing as long as possible.
	But the clock is running out.
	We're at 103 years.
	And the longest in the history that I just mentioned was Spain at 110 years.
	Great Britain had 105 years with the British pound and the US dollars at 103 years and not looking good.
	Especially with bricks, you know, hot on the heels and bricks ready to essentially make the dollar obsolete.
	Now, you may wonder, why?
	Why did any of these currencies fail?
	Because today, if you ask people, especially in the media or on the streets of America, it's like, do you think the dollar will still be the world reserve currency forever?
	Yeah, of course it will.
	Why wouldn't it be?
	It's always been world reserve.
	I mean, this is what they think.
	Even people in Wall Street, Like, do you think the dollar will be fine here like 100 years from now?
	Oh, of course!
	The dollar is always going to be the world reserve currency.
	Nothing can change that.
	Everything is traded in dollars, they'll tell you.
	All the bonds, all the stocks, all the treasuries, all the futures and all the commodities and this and that.
	Except that's not true.
	All kinds of commodities are traded in things other than the dollar.
	And of course, Saudi Arabia just said they've abandoned any renewal of the dollar denomination agreement.
	So now they're selling oil in non-dollar currencies.
	But then again, in every one of these cases, the countrymen and women who lived in Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, they did not know their currencies were going to collapse either.
	Maybe a few, a tiny few people.
	Maybe they're like the Dutch version of Ron Paul was kicking ass and he was like holding up guilders and like, we got to audit the Dutch Fed, you know?
	And the population was like, boo!
	Boo!
	We want easy money, Dutch Ron Paul.
	And so they shouted him down and there was probably like a French Ron Paul.
	I am the Ron Paul.
	We must audit the central banking of France.
	And all the French...
	They even say boo with a French accent.
	And so they shouted him down.
	Anyway, you get the idea.
	And so the truth never came out in any of these countries.
	And then in every case, they collapsed.
	And after each one of these collapse events, which, again, were relatively sudden...
	They took people by surprise.
	People lost everything.
	They lost their retirements.
	They lost their pensions.
	They lost their bank savings accounts.
	I mean, yeah, they still had currency, but the currency became worthless.
	Why?
	Because the other trading partners around the world said, we don't want the real anymore.
	We don't want the Dutch Gilder.
	We don't want the livre, whatever.
	We don't want the British pound.
	Why do we want a British pound?
	And then what happened in every case...
	It was a decline of naval power.
	Interesting, isn't it?
	A decline of naval power.
	What is it that made Spain so successful in the 16th century?
	Was it land colonization?
	No.
	It was Spain's navy.
	Well, ocean exploration, trade route development by sea.
	That was the secret.
	To Spain's economic miracle, which gave rise to its currency dominance, much the same was true with the Dutch.
	How do you think the Dutch guilder became so popular?
	Because people, other countries and investors and businesses needed to buy Dutch guilders in order to buy the goods that were brought back to the Netherlands by the Dutch traders who were sailing the Dutch ships because the Dutch could build some damn fine ships.
	Never get in a shipbuilding competition with the Dutch.
	You will lose to this day.
	So this is what happened in every case.
	Same thing in France, right?
	Same thing in Great Britain.
	If you wanted to trade in 1852 or whatever, you had to have the British pound.
	The British pound ruled the world of economics and the British Navy ruled the seas.
	There was no Navy that could compete with the British Royal Navy.
	Now compare that contrast to today when, you know, the Queen Elizabeth's propellers don't work.
	And I'm talking about an aircraft carrier, not anything weird about her anatomy.
	Now, fast forward then to the United States.
	Since really the end of World War II especially, the United States Navy has been the dominant naval power of the planet.
	This naval power has been used to protect the sea trading routes, which gave the U.S. dominance over allowing, in essence, allowing which countries to export, which countries to import, which ships could use the sea lanes.
	And over the years, the United States Navy has harassed anybody that it didn't want to allow to traverse the open seas.
	The U.S. Navy has, for example, attacked ships from Iran.
	Iran.
	And right now, it's constantly harassing ships from China near Taiwan.
	And, of course, the U.S. has been involved in the sinking of some Russian vessels in the Black Sea as part of this conflict, the current conflict.
	And, of course, the U.S. also was in the Baltic Sea blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, but that's different.
	That's a different thing.
	But what's happening now is that the U.S. Navy is losing its dominance.
	As I've mentioned elsewhere, China has by far the largest dry dock shipbuilding capability of any nation on the planet.
	It is currently 200 times larger than the United States.
	200 times more dry dock capacity.
	That's interesting.
	The US Navy is no longer able to project power over trade routes.
	And guess who just proved this?
	The Yemeni military.
	The Yemeni military, they have now successfully sunk two cargo vessels that were en route to dock at ports with Israel.
	Those ships are at the bottom of the Red Sea because the Yemeni's army, they have figured out how to use, like, drone boats and airborne drones and rockets and missiles to take out ships.
	And the U.S. Navy cannot protect them.
	What was it called?
	Operation, like...
	Freedom Force or something.
	It was a few months back.
	Sorry, I don't remember the name.
	Freedom Trade or whatever.
	The U.S. said, we're going to go to the Red Sea and we're going to send all our destroyers there and we're going to float some aircraft carriers and we're going to protect all these cargo ships.
	Remember that?
	I wouldn't blame you if you don't remember it because the White House hasn't talked about it since then because it was a total failure.
	And then remember when the U.S. bombed the crap out of Yemen just a couple of months ago, spending about a billion dollars just bombing, I don't know, like goat farms or something.
	What do they bomb?
	Like wooden huts?
	It's like, I don't know, children's playgrounds?
	I don't know what they were bombing.
	They said they bombed a bunch of military sites and logistics centers and planning centers and like super secret military hubs.
	And then two days after that so-called massive bombing, The Yemenis all came out of their holes in the ground with their rockets and like, and they just kept launching rockets at ships.
	So the U.S. spent a billion dollars and didn't even stop the Yemenis at all.
	Which means, so that trade route, the Red Sea trade route, the entire U.S. Navy cannot defend it.
	The U.S. military, which has nearly a $1 trillion annual budget, Versus the Yemenis that have never seen a trillion dollars, not even a billion.
	I mean, they're operating on a few million dollars.
	I mean, and one million dollars is one millionth of a trillion dollars, okay?
	Just to be clear.
	So the Yemenis military is operating on millionths of the U.S. military budget, and yet the Yemenis military...
	Is able to nullify the entire United States Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines, all of it.
	Wow!
	What does that tell you?
	Does that remind you of any history, like when Great Britain, suddenly its Navy wasn't the most powerful in the world anymore?
	Especially after World War II. What happened to the British Navy?
	What happened to it?
	Oh, the German submarines sank all the British naval vessels, didn't they?
	And they sank a good number of, you know, American cargo ships coming across the Atlantic as well.
	The Germans bombed the crap out of British naval yards, shipyards and transportation and resources and everything else, and cities, of course.
	At least they tried to.
	You know, the V2 rockets, they weren't really guided precision munitions.
	It was kind of like a fire and forget type of weapon.
	But the Germans, had they not been stopped, they would have absolutely destroyed everything in Great Britain.
	So thankfully, the Germans were stopped, mostly by the Russians, it turns out.
	Great Britain helped a little bit.
	The US helped a little bit more.
	The Russians did most of the heavy lifting and defeated the Third Reich.
	But out of that, Great Britain was burdened with so much debt and so much economic destruction and so much loss of life, which is still small compared to what Russia lost.
	Russian losses were, what, 20 to 40 million people, which is a huge number.
	For the 1930s and 1940s, by the way, huge.
	But because Europe was mostly destroyed, America was the remaining world power.
	And, well, Russia, which I'm using synonymously with the Soviet Union in this case, but it was the Soviet Union at the time, you know, they were devastated economically and demographically from World War II. Almost all of Europe was decimated.
	China was still pre-Industrial Revolution at that time.
	China had no technology in the 1940s.
	Japan was, of course, heavily damaged because of the two atomic bombs that America dropped on them.
	A lot of Southeast Asia was decimated.
	The Philippines were not advanced or capable at that time.
	Taiwan had been occupied and was suffering from post-World War II. Basically, America became the world leader because everybody else was almost destroyed.
	So America was like the last man standing, so to speak.
	And there's only one reason for that.
	It's called the Atlantic Ocean.
	So the ocean created this geographic barrier that That gave the United States this massive advantage in being able to send supplies to Europe, but not to be subjected to land attacks by the Blitzkrieg Third Reich of Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.
	So the fact that America had this unique geography...
	It was like America inherited this amazing gift from God, you could say, this gift of being isolated enough in a long, big, vast ocean separating America so that America could manufacture things domestically because American factories were churning out the goods in the 1930s and the 1940s,
	and then they could ship those goods over the ocean to the Great Britain or France or Normandy landings or wherever they needed them to go in order to support the European effort to defeat Germany.
	And in the 1930s and 1940s, early 40s, America's industry was humming along.
	Why?
	Because of cheap energy.
	Cheap energy and a strong work ethic.
	The combustion engine had been invented, and Henry Ford had made cars relatively affordable.
	You still had some steam-powered engines driving belts for belt-run factories, these large massive belts that would run like textile sewing machines and things like that.
	But those very quickly got converted over into combustion engines, which provided the power for a massive amount of manufacturing.
	And of course, you know, the rise of electricity and the electrical grid spreading out more and more over time, you know, not all at once, but There was more industrial capability in the United States.
	So remember this important fact because I'm going to tell you why this is shifting.
	In the 1930s and 1940s, America inherited world reserve currency status because it was the last country standing after World War II devastation.
	And it had very strong domestic manufacturing and export capabilities, and it was protected by these vast oceans on both sides, the Atlantic and the Pacific.
	And nobody else could really mess with America using the technology of the day, okay?
	Now, fast forward essentially almost 100 years to today, 2024.
	Now, in 2024, America's industrial base has been lost.
	It has been exported and repositioned in China and in Mexico and in Indonesia and other countries all over the world.
	So America no longer is a manufacturing base.
	Now, the geography of America works against it, whereas the oceans previously were barriers to stop the Nazis from attacking America or to stop the Japanese from being able to successfully invade the West Coast.
	Now, geography is working against America because the U.S. Navy can no longer project power and protect the sea trade routes.
	This is exactly what happened to Great Britain.
	As it lost its global reserve currency status.
	Same thing with France.
	France's Navy was very strong in the late 1700s, but as France suffered economic decline and, of course, a lot of internal corruption, all kinds of, you know, schemes and revolution and so on, France lost its naval power and could no longer protect its trade routes.
	And that's when Great Britain Really became much stronger and took that over, you see.
	So now America is losing its naval power and the geography of the world works against America because America has to import everything from somewhere else.
	It has to import its engines, has to import its clothing and textiles, electronics, computers, telecommunications gear, medical gear, prescription, pharmaceuticals from all over the world, mostly China.
	But other places, India in particular.
	And as a result then, when the U.S. loses its naval dominance and loss of influence over the sea trade routes of the world, as those routes are taken over by Islamic countries such as Yemen, asserting control over the Suez Canal and the Red Sea,
	and also now Malaysia and Indonesia, largely Muslim countries, Malaysia joining BRICS now, We're good to go.
	Highly efficient, cost-efficient international sea lanes and international trading partners.
	Now the U.S. is losing that status to the BRICS nations and to other stronger naval powers, such as the rising power of China and the rising technology of Russian subs.
	Now, Russia doesn't have anything of a real surface aircraft carrier fleet.
	They don't even try.
	What Russia has is the world's most advanced nuclear submarines that can fire, what, 16 to 20 ICBMs each.
	And those subs have the world's most advanced technology, which I don't have time to get into here.
	But suddenly the U.S. finds itself in a situation where the world doesn't want U.S. vessels to be able to pass through these key areas.
	That is the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, coming up soon the Strait of Malacca, which gives access to the Indian Ocean and the Philippines and Southeast Asia, Vietnam and South Korea and so on.
	And then the Panama Canal is heavily threatened by China.
	Right.
	So if the U.S. loses its ability to navigate its military vessels as well as commercial vessels through the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Malacca, the U.S. is done as the world trading power.
	Actually, it's already done for different reasons, but you see my point.
	All these trade routes are being cut off, and the US Navy can't do anything about it.
	On top of that, Iran has control over the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of the energy products that are produced in the Middle East are exported to, well, to Europe, but other countries as well, including, to some extent, US and US allies.
	So the Strait of Hormuz also indirectly affects the price of oil.
	Because if Iran shuts down the Strait of Hormuz, which they could do, The price of oil would skyrocket to $200, $300 a barrel, maybe higher.
	Nobody knows exactly.
	But that would cause so much cost inflation in the United States because of the road miles put on food, farming operations that use diesel fuel, transportation, and so on.
	So Iran can cause an economic earthquake around the world all by itself by cutting off the Strait of Hormuz.
	Although...
	It would probably be very reluctant to do so without great support from its Middle Eastern allies because cutting off that strait would, of course, deprive its allies of significant sources of revenue that they use to fund their own operations.
	So it is a complex issue.
	Nevertheless, I hope you see the nature of the dynamic here.
	So most of these currencies have lasted, what, 95 years on average, let's say?
	Some 80, some 105, some 110.
	Let's say 95 to 100 years.
	That's about it.
	The U.S. dollar is at 103 years.
	And in every case throughout history, when countries, when they controlled world trade, they did so with a sense of arrogance and greed.
	I mean, in the early 17th century, the Spanish leaders were the most arrogant bastards in the world.
	And They would just take what they wanted and they would use economic leverage and essentially what we would call today economic sanctions in order to pummel their trading partners and secure monopolies over trade routes and raw materials, which is exactly what the US is trying to do with Ukraine and Russia.
	I mean, not much has changed, folks.
	And the other thing, by the way, is that in World War II, the United States was not reachable by enemies because of the vast Atlantic Ocean and the vast Pacific Ocean.
	Guess what?
	Today, Russia's ICBMs can reach any target anywhere in North America, and so can China's.
	And North Korea even has missiles that can reach the West Coast, and North Korea has diesel-electric submarines, by the way, that can carry nuclear missiles and can launch them, and they can hit targets very far inland from the West Coast.
	Like, North Korea can nuke Colorado, by the way.
	And Russia can launch land-based missiles from its own territory, and they have such incredible range that they can fly south.
	They can traverse the South Pole and come up from the south and hit targets in the United States of America after flying over Central America.
	And the U.S. has no...
	Let's say over-the-horizon anti-ballistic missile radar capabilities that are looking south.
	Now, the U.S. does have satellite technology that can detect launches and things like that, but the U.S. isn't prepared for an attack of missiles from the south.
	But Russia can do that too.
	So the Atlantic Ocean is no buffer any longer, not against nuclear war.
	The Pacific Ocean is no buffer.
	And by the way, I mean, China can just send a bunch of shipping vessels and load them up with like 50,000 drones each, and then park them off the coast of California, just open up the top, and it out flies like drone swarms, and those drones can just rock right into San Diego and Los Angeles and wherever and just start blowing up everything.
	And there's nothing that America can do to stop that.
	Nothing.
	Except, I guess, at some point, Maybe try to start sinking those vessels with submarines, but because they're cargo vessels, they can sneak right in.
	And by the way, also China and Iran and Russia, they have nuclear missiles that can be hidden in 40-foot containers.
	So they could just load up a ship with a bunch of containers and say, yeah, this is just cargo.
	You know, this is filled with tennis shoes or whatever.
	Speaker parts, headphones, and then it gets close to the coastline and it just like opens up, launch missiles, time to impact, 150 seconds, something like that.
	And you're done.
	You're done.
	America gets nuked into oblivion, especially the coastal targets such as Norfolk, Virginia, the naval base, Washington, D.C., New York City, right?
	Los Angeles and the ports on the West Coast as well.
	You realize they can cripple America without even attacking much inland.
	It's like, you don't even need to hit Chicago.
	Chicago's almost a post-nuclear apocalypse every weekend, all by itself.
	Nuking Chicago might not make it look any worse than it is right now, at least in terms of potholes and road repair.
	I mean, it's bad.
	Or Seattle.
	It's like, quiz time.
	Seattle got nuked over the weekend.
	It's like, really?
	We can't tell.
	It looks like that all the time.
	I can just see the White House saying, like, Seattle gets nuked, right?
	The White House will probably announce, those are all fake videos, just like they said that all the videos of Joe Biden wandering off into nowhere.
	And they're like, those are deepfakes, according to the White House press secretary.
	She says those are deepfakes.
	Really?
	Roll out old Joe right now and prove to us that he's cognizant.
	How about that?
	So when an American city gets nuked, they'll probably just say, it's fake.
	It's fake.
	It'll be fact checkers.
	Fact check.
	Seattle was not nuked.
	And everybody's got videos with Geiger counters, like hazmat suits, like, we're in the fallout zones!
	And, you know, NBC News will say, it's fake.
	It never got nuked, and there's no inflation, and men can have babies.
	Of course, they would be mutant babies if they're having babies in the fallout zones.
	But then again, if you think men can have babies, there's something wrong with you to begin with.
	So the bottom line in this is that currencies rise and fall.
	Currencies fail.
	And they fail about every hundred years, at least in the Western world, that we keep track of.
	The other currencies have failed in the history of China.
	And in the history of, you know, Southeast Asia and the history of South America, boy, you want to have a museum of currency failures, just look at South America.
	That's fascinating.
	But currencies fail, even World Reserve currencies fail about every 100 years.
	Other currencies fail even more often than that, by the way.
	But world reserve currency is about every hundred years.
	So we are overdue, actually, for the collapse of the dollar.
	And the U.S. is accelerating this by the way it behaves.
	By sanctioning hundreds of businesses and dozens of countries and probably tens of thousands of individuals all over the world.
	Economic sanctions.
	Weaponizing the dollar reserve status.
	The Western nations cut off Russia from the SWIFT system, and then they stole $300 billion worth of Russian assets held in Western currencies.
	And now they're going to issue a loan to Ukraine of $50 billion, and they're going to pay for the loan using the seized interest earned on the seized $300 billion that the West looted from Russia.
	As Putin says, theft is theft.
	And he's right.
	So this is what happens when empires become arrogant.
	They think that they are not held to account, that they have no repercussions, that they are the kings of the world and they can do whatever they want because they got away with it up till now.
	They've been getting away with it for a hundred years.
	Why should anything be different?
	Well, what's different and what happened in most of these cases is There was either, there was like an investment collapse, like Tulip Bulb Mania, or the East India Trading Company.
	There was an internal revolution or revolt, which some people believe is sort of trending in Western countries right now anyway.
	People are angry in France again, by the way, and people paying attention in Germany are not happy with their government.
	I mean, same thing in the UK, same thing in the US, same thing in Canada.
	Not that the Canadians ever revolt really that much, but hey, the truckers did.
	You got to give them credit.
	But in every case in history, there was a significant event.
	Often it was war, like in World War II. Often it was revolt.
	Often it was an internal conflict.
	But it always ended the empire of arrogance that dominated at the time.
	And today, right now, we actually have nearly 100 countries that are openly allied against the dollar and against the United States, and those are called the BRICS plus nations, and there are more nations that are joining BRICS every single day.
	So, you know, when power shifted from the British pound to the U.S. dollar, the U.S. wasn't really at war with Great Britain.
	They were supposed to be allies, right?
	Right.
	But today, the BRICS countries are in an economic war against the United States, and they actively want to see the dollar demolished.
	And they're going to succeed.
	Because the BRICS nations, especially now that Turkey is joining and the Saudis are joining and so on, the BRICS nations, which includes China, obviously, control...
	They represent the vast majority of the world's population.
	They control...
	About half of the world's oil supply at this point, or energy, not just oil but natural gas exports.
	And in addition, if you do honest accounting about what is GDP, these BRICS nations in the aggregate have a higher GDP than the United States.
	Now, the U.S. lies about its GDP by counting, you know, all kinds of fakery and, of course, inflation makes everything more expensive and all the medical billing.
	It's like, you know, you need to buy a medical chair.
	And so it's $50,000.
	What?
	I could buy a chair that's almost exactly the same at Costco for $150.
	Oh, but this one's a medical chair.
	We're going to build Medicaid for this, right?
	So it's $50,000.
	Because it's doctor approved, right?
	So that counts as GDP, even though it's the same damn chair that you can buy at Costco, the non-medical version, but it's exactly the same.
	I forgot which economist said this, but a haircut in New York City is essentially the same as a haircut in Costa Rica.
	You get your haircut, right?
	Okay?
	In New York City, it's $100.
	In Costa Rica, $4 or whatever, $2.
	I don't know where it is in Costa Rica.
	I guess it depends on which city, but you get the point.
	The U.S. GDP is wildly exaggerated because of inflation and super high prices, but the U.S. isn't actually producing an equivalent amount of goods and services.
	Okay?
	My point is that the BRICS nations have, they've got the population, they've got the energy, they've got the GDP, they've got the industrial output, the productivity, also the military output, and now they have the military might.
	Russia's got super advanced drones, hypersonic missiles.
	Anti-air defense systems.
	China has super advanced naval shipyard efficiencies.
	They haven't yet caught up to the U.S. on aircraft carrier technology, but they're going to be able to outproduce the U.S. I mean, they have aircraft carrier factories now that can churn out an aircraft carrier about every one to two years.
	The U.S. can't do that.
	Are you kidding me?
	U.S. can't build anything in one or two years.
	Even the Baltimore Bridge is probably going to take a decade if that thing ever gets built back, which I doubt.
	Anyway, Russia's got advanced submarines.
	Russia's got orbital nuke platforms.
	You know, China has advanced submarine sensing technology using orbital platforms.
	It's pretty clear where this is going.
	So, the conclusion in all of this, in my opinion...
	Is that the dollar's done.
	We have probably...
	Okay, in the slowest scenario, we have a couple of years, maybe.
	But the dollar will lose value the entire time.
	So now let's talk about solutions.
	In each one of these cases throughout history...
	There was a strategy that got people through the collapse of one currency and then into the new world reserve currency as it took over.
	That strategy is very simple.
	It's called precious metals.
	Okay, you know, Bitcoin didn't exist until relatively recently.
	What, 2011 or something like that?
	I mean, Bitcoin hasn't lived through one global currency collapse here, not a world reserve currency.
	But gold and silver have always made it through.
	They've always held value through all of this.
	Whether we're talking about, you know, Spain, Netherlands, France, Great Britain, when the British pound collapsed, gold and silver, of course, held value.
	And as the dollar collapses, gold and silver will also continue to hold value.
	For a number of reasons.
	They are immutable.
	They're on the table of elements.
	They've been recognized as value.
	From the beginning of known human civilization, they have numerous industrial uses, but there's also a very natural set of properties about gold and silver that people are naturally attracted to it.
	Most importantly, no government can counterfeit gold and silver.
	So the U.S. government can counterfeit dollars.
	The Brits counterfeited the British pound.
	In France, they counterfeited the livre.
	I'm talking about money printing.
	And the Dutch counterfeited like crazy.
	Nobody can run a printing press like the Dutch.
	Well, I guess technically the dollar is way worse than what the Dutch did.
	So I guess that credit goes to Joe Biden and the Federal Reserve.
	But anyway, the point is gold and silver held value.
	So the smart people now know...
	That the strategy is to get out of the dollar before the dollar collapses, and you won't have a warning sign, except the things I'm telling you about right now, but it's not like the bank or the government or the corporate media is going to send out an alert.
	Like, the dollar will be worthless next Tuesday.
	Everybody get out.
	No.
	It'll just be on Tuesday.
	Surprise, surprise, surprise!
	Bank holiday.
	You're toast!
	So you've got to get out of the dollar before that day happens.
	And that means getting into gold and silver.
	And of course, I have a couple of companies that I recommend that are sponsors.
	And you should shop around.
	You should do your research.
	You can compare.
	And you can talk to your financial advisors, but do what's right for you.
	But I do want to let you know who I recommend.
	It's the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	You can find them at metalswithmike.com.
	And they are incredibly well-trusted.
	They offer insured, discreet, guaranteed delivery of physical gold and silver in your hands.
	And they have coins very competitively priced from all over the world.
	You know, the different recognized mints.
	Plus, U.S. Mint, if you want to pay that premium for U.S. Mint, you can do that.
	But personally, I avoid U.S. Mint coins most of the time, and I go with, like, Australian kangaroos or, you know, the Philharmonics or the Britannicas or the...
	South African Krugerrands or what have you.
	There's a Japanese mint that's really good too.
	There's a lot of different mints all over the world that are well recognized.
	So you can reach them at metalswithmike.com.
	Just go there, metalswithmike.com.
	It'll take you to their page.
	You can check their prices.
	If gold and silver are right for you, then that is my recommended place to get it.
	The other option is if you want very divisible gold embedded into these goldbacks, as they're called, you can go to verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	It's like goldbacks instead of greenbacks, but it's not like a replacement for the dollar, because goldbacks contain real gold.
	They're not just paper.
	And they're not currency.
	It's just a form of gold that is kind of easy to carry and easy to count because you can get them in one one-thousandth of an ounce or five one-thousands or ten one-thousands, whatever.
	And these goldbacks are absolutely gorgeous.
	And the story about goldbacks was so amazing that at first I didn't believe it.
	And so I said to the founder, I said, Jeremy, you know, send me a couple of goldbacks.
	I'm going to test them.
	And I did.
	I tested them in my lab.
	I had to buy a kiln and I melted them down.
	I extracted the gold and we weighed the gold on the analytical balance.
	And it turns out their goldbacks deliver 102 to about 107% of the claimed amount of gold.
	There's actually a little bit of extra gold in there.
	And then I took it to my lab for the ICP-MS elemental analysis.
	Because, you know, we've got mass spec instruments in our labs and we use nitric acid or hydrochloric acid to dissolve the gold into the liquid.
	We fed the liquid into the ICP and we looked at the composition.
	It comes back.
	Wow, it's better than 24 karat gold.
	We can see exactly how much of the other elements are in there.
	A little bit of nickel, a little bit of copper, a little bit of iron, but better than 24 karat gold.
	So the goldbacks are not only...
	Like what's considered pure gold, you know, 24 karat purity, that's a grade of purity, but also more than the claimed mass of gold is in the bills.
	So the thing about goldbacks versus some currency is you don't have to have faith in a government.
	All you have to do is understand that gold has value.
	The gold is in the goldbacks.
	They make great gifts, by the way, and I like to tip waiters with them because everybody freaks out.
	They're like, this is amazing.
	It's the best thing I've ever had.
	So again, check that out at verifiedgoldbacks.com if that's an option for you.
	One disclaimer is, you know, I'm not your financial advisor.
	I don't know exactly when the dollar is going to collapse.
	I just gave you the map of the timeline of history.
	I think the dollars collapse personally.
	I think it's less than a couple years away.
	It could be months.
	It could be weeks.
	I do not know exactly.
	But I don't think the dollar exists much longer.
	It's very clear to me.
	I'm looking at the signs and it's obvious.
	And the weaponization of the dollar has caused the world to accelerate de-dollarization.
	And so watch my interviews with Andy Sheckman, by the way.
	He explains this very well.
	He's been talking about this for years.
	People used to mock him just a couple years ago.
	Like, what do you mean, de-dollarization?
	That's so stupid.
	It's never going to happen.
	What are you talking about, BRICS? You know, B-R-I-C-S, BRICS. And Andy Sheckman stuck to his guns.
	He does an amazing amount of research, and he knows what he's talking about.
	And he laid it out, and he's been right.
	And the other guy that knows what he's talking about is Gerald Salenti.
	And Gerald Salenti is the publisher of the Trends Journal, which is the best financial newsletter in the world, as far as I'm concerned.
	He puts out an issue once a week.
	I've interviewed him a couple of times.
	I'm going to have him back on, I think, next month.
	Boy, is he going to blow his top.
	When Gerald gets angry about what's happening in the world, man, just don't interrupt him.
	That's all.
	Just let him go.
	But I'll have him back on, and he's extended a discount to our audience.
	So if you go to trendsjournal.com and you subscribe to his journal, it's a couple of bucks a week, okay?
	I think you pay for one year at a time.
	It's a couple bucks a week.
	It's nothing.
	You get a massive issue, a downloadable PDF once a week, filled with research and analysis that's just invaluable.
	Use discount code RANGER and you get 10% off.
	And we really appreciate Gerald Salenti's work and the fact that we can be an affiliate for him on this is actually quite an honor.
	So those are the best financial resources that I know.
	Get gold and silver.
	Or consider goldbacks in a format if that works for you.
	And then for information, get the Trends Journal from TrendsJournal.com.
	And again, use discount code Ranger to save 10% on that.
	If you do these things, I think you will be relatively safe compared to most people, even compared to most people throughout history that got absolutely financially decimated by these major transitions as one world reserve currency collapsed and a new one rose out of the ashes of economic destruction.
	But, again, you look throughout history.
	How many people got wiped out by the collapse of the British pound?
	How many people got wiped out by the Dutch Gilder collapsing, right?
	How many people got wiped out by the Real, the abandonment of the Real by world traders?
	People got clobbered.
	They're going to get just decimated when the dollar collapses.
	My goal, personally, is to have the minimum exposure in the dollar.
	I have to have a certain amount because I'm running a business.
	I have to meet payroll.
	I have to pay suppliers for raw materials and farmers and so on.
	We have bills to pay, so unfortunately, they only accept dollars.
	That's going to change soon.
	I wish they would accept Bitcoin, frankly.
	It would be so much easier.
	But currently, they only accept dollars.
	Until the dollar collapses, you've got to have dollars around, so we'll all lose something.
	I'm just trying not to lose everything.
	And depending on how much you want to lose, I guess that's how much you should leave in the dollar.
	Really?
	I mean, that's the most blunt way to say it.
	So check all that out.
	Get yourself prepared.
	Do your own research.
	Talk to all your advisors.
	Call up all your 50 advisors.
	Gather them in a room.
	What do you think I should do?
	And watch all your advisors say, you should stay in the Western banking system because it's never going to fail.
	The dollar will be the world reserve currency forever and ever and ever.
	That's what all your advisors will probably say.
	And then they will all become penniless when the dollar collapses.
	So, you know?
	It's your choice.
	Your assets, your money, your dollars, your future, whatever.
	I mean, your future is determined by who you listen to, I guess, or what information you get and how well you assess what's happening.
	I will tell you this.
	I know a lot of wealthy people.
	I know several billionaires, actual billionaires.
	They are not sitting on dollars.
	There are no billionaires with rooms full of stacks of $100 bills.
	Doesn't exist.
	And most people who actually earned money, not just inherited it, but people who earned money, you know, successful entrepreneurs and so on, they're getting out of the dollar as quickly as they can.
	They're getting into all kinds of other things.
	Sometimes it's gold and silver, sometimes it's crypto, sometimes it's investments, sometimes it's land, sometimes it's commodities.
	You know, sometimes they want to buy like an oil company and just own a percentage of the oil that comes out of the ground.
	I get it!
	Okay, energy will be in demand for a long time.
	As long as there's people, they're going to need energy, so I get it.
	Some people are buying mines, like they want an aluminum mine.
	I mean, personally, I don't want a mine because I don't like the environmental impact of mining operations, but...
	But the world does need aluminum, so I get it.
	Some of those people, that's what they choose to do.
	Anyway, do your own research.
	Make your own decisions.
	Understand where we are in history.
	Red dot, you are here.
	You are at the end of the dollar.
	Plus or minus a couple of years.
	That's about it in my assessment.
	You're at the end of the dollar.
	What's next?
	Bricks!
	So it's going to be the BRICS currency from, let's say, 2025 to 2125 or 2130.
	And then after the year 2130, I mean, if humanity even lives that long, if we don't nuke ourselves into oblivion, then, you know, BRICS will collapse.
	It'll be something else.
	I can't even imagine what that would be at that time.
	It'd be like exotic alien, you know, bioelectric currency, like crypto in your cells or something.
	I have no idea.
	We're not gonna be around for that anyway, so we don't have to worry.
	But thanks for listening.

	But get prepared.
	Hard times are coming.
	Thanks for listening.
	Take care. - Welcome back to the Mel Kay Show.
	As you know, I am a big proponent of sticking up for yourself, speaking out, standing up, being fearless.
	And my two guests today have been doing just that nonstop for now years and years.
	And they're taking it to the next level, not just for themselves, but for we the people.
	We have had enough.
	We are not going to allow ourselves to be bullied.
	Our First Amendment, our Second Amendment, and our Inalienable rights are being threatened from all sides and these two men today are making a big difference and most of you know the great Mike Adams and also Jason Fick who's been fighting Section 230 and been on the show before is here as well.
	Thank you for joining me guys.
	Thank you so much.
	I'm a huge fan of both of you.
	And Mike Adams, people are very, very excited that you are actually going forward with something that could really not just help all of us that do what we do, but really change America for the better going forward.
	So why don't you tell the audience a little bit about what's going on?
	Absolutely.
	So I want to be clear that we filed a major lawsuit.
	We think this is potentially the most important First Amendment lawsuit of our modern time.
	And with the help of just brilliant researchers and analysts like Jason Fick and our legal team, we've uncovered smoking gun conclusive evidence of government involvement in censorship laundering.
	So the United States government uses taxpayer money to fund overseas and domestic NGOs that then make censorship lists.
	Of course, you're on the same list as well as us, but we were specifically named in these lists.
	So they can't argue, oh, it has nothing to do with you.
	Then these lists are handed over to big tech platforms in America, like Google and Facebook and YouTube.
	And then they use those lists to censor people.
	So this is censorship by proxy, which is a complete violation of our constitutional rights.
	And we have filed suit.
	We filed it on Memorial Day.
	We filed suit against the Department of Defense, against Homeland Security.
	We named Alejandro Mayorkas.
	We named 10 John Does.
	We named Google.
	We named Meta Facebook.
	We even sued Twitter because of their ongoing shadow banning that Elon Musk still has not lifted, despite all his promises.
	I mean, I'm hopeful he will, but so far he hasn't.
	And so we filed this lawsuit.
	It's now in the courts.
	It's in federal courts in Texas.
	And we believe that if we can get to a discovery phase on this, we can blow this whole thing wide open.
	And Mel, we are in this for the long run to dismantle the government private censorship complex, not just for us, but so that every American can speak freely without fear of being targeted for censorship by their own government.
	That's what we're doing.
	Yeah, and obviously I'm on those lists as well.
	And also I do want to say I agree with you about X and Elon Musk because my channel never came, my original never came back.
	And again, the shadow banning on there is off the charts, but there's like a whole other aspect to that.
	But Jason, I wanted you to tell what you're doing with Mike.
	I talked to you on the phone.
	When I heard that you two had gotten together, I thought, oh my God, this is brilliant.
	Great.
	Because you have been fighting this for a very long time.
	You've been on a couple of times about what happened to you over at Meta, Facebook.
	But tell a little bit about how you got involved in this lawsuit with Mike.
	Sure, Mel, and thank you for having us.
	So obviously, those that do know what I've been doing, I've been working on the Texas 230 problem for close to six years, and we are closing in on the home stretch of this thing.
	The courts are finally coming around.
	We've got them going the right direction because they've come to the realization that what they did with the law was way too broad, that these companies have become these monsters, these big tech companies, because they have just no liability.
	None.
	Of course, during that process, what happened is that you become known.
	And I haven't sought any clout or any kind of fame.
	I don't do podcasts and so forth, although I could.
	I just choose not to.
	Why?
	Because I'm working on the problem.
	The problem is that we have to stop this, and we have to do it a lot of times through lawfare.
	Well, that's how Mike Adams and myself crossed paths, and we discussed it.
	And I believe Mike was fairly impressed with what we had already come up with.
	I mean, you know, I'm up against a tidal wave of, you know, the government essentially doesn't want to fix this.
	I mean, if you think about it, we're talking about a case here where the government is colluding with big tech in order to shut down speech.
	Well, they're also the ones protecting them from liabilities.
	Convenient, right?
	Right.
	Well, that translated into Mike discussing, hey, could we actually go after these people?
	And he showed me what had happened.
	And sure enough, they did.
	They named Brighteon and Natural News.
	And I mean, they went after them hard.
	Right.
	So what happened was, and the funny thing was, is that we haven't discussed any of this.
	And it's kind of coming to a surprise to everybody because I was under NDA. Wasn't allowed to say anything because we had to work on this very hush-hush.
	Because, of course, we're going against government entities.
	Well, now the cat is out of the bag.
	Now we can tell everybody what is going on.
	And over the past year, year and a half of research, what we've come to realize is that the United States government has, in fact, been paying foreign entities as well as US entities to create these censorship tools, so to speak, Technologies, blacklist, and so forth, and we can trace the money right back to domestic speech.
	They're giving these tools and so forth over to big tech, and they're going after domestic speech with your own tax money.
	Go ahead, Mike.
	Jason, can I add that we were almost ready to file this eight or nine months ago, but then, Jason, your research and your team, you kept finding more smoking guns.
	It was like, oh my gosh, this is incredible.
	We have to add this to the complaint.
	So then it was another month to do all the detailed research on that, put that in the complaint, to where we've ended up with this incredible body of evidence and this diagram that And Mel, one of the reasons that we wanted to file suit, even if it's thrown out, even if we don't win, we've put this body of evidence in the public space so that other parties can take advantage of the research that we've done.
	And that process has already begun.
	Now, Jason, you probably can't speak to who or what or how many, but isn't it true that other parties are already initiating lawsuits based on our lawsuit?
	Yeah, we've already signed because, of course, right now I work as an expert consultant with my partner, Jeff Graber, who is the bar licensed attorney.
	And we've gone at this as a team because just by necessity, we became the foremost experts on this.
	I mean, this is a very specialized sort of realm here.
	And it's also a dangerous realm.
	Not that many people are willing to risk everything to go up against powers this big.
	But I can say that we have already signed other Other entities, other parties, and we have about four more that are waiting in the wing.
	And I can tell you, they're heavy hitters, too.
	These are big names, big money behind it, and they're going to come after them.
	And again, government's involved.
	There is collusion between everybody.
	So, I mean, this is not ever going away.
	I mean, I kind of want to think to myself that when Facebook pulled the trigger on me, I mean, they've had me over a barrel because the courts just really didn't step up for me.
	But I'm not going away.
	I'm going to be a thorn in their side till the day I'm done.
	Well, I would say all three of us have that in our blood, but I have to honestly say something that's really important, and I know Mike knows this as well as anyone.
	There is a level of psychological warfare that this is involved with, and when you look at the contracts between DHS, Department of Defense, and the big tech firms, and not just that, some of the multinational corporations as well, and how they collude in the back and coordinate who can have a voice and who can't, It is also about their narrative and controlling the narrative and deceiving the people.
	And our country has been deceived, the people of this nation, time and time and time again by the intelligence community.
	And for me personally, I think that the Patriot Act is the most unconstitutional thing that happened in this country.
	But the intelligence branch, unconstitutional intelligence branch that was spawned from the Patriot Act has no oversight.
	Nobody is watching them.
	Nothing happens when they violate the Constitution.
	And then they are the DHS goes into an NSA, goes into relationships, not just with big tech, but with their counterparts in the Five Eyes nations as well.
	At this point, the American people have to understand, yes, it's happening.
	Mike and I put ourselves out there and it's happening to us.
	But frankly, it can happen to anyone.
	So we have to really realize that this is the weaponization of our government on a whole other level because if they're trying to silence Mike and Health Ranger and Brighteon, they're trying to manipulate the masses to believe what they want them to believe.
	And to not listen to, most people know, Mike, somebody who breaks real news, true news, that the government might not want people to know.
	And they shouldn't have the option to tell the American people what they're allowed to hear.
	So, Mike, there is a psychological warfare, a military-grade, you know, mind-control situation on the back end here.
	We can't forget DARPA created most of big tech.
	So, again, it all rolls together.
	And people have to understand this isn't just, you know, censorship.
	It's much bigger than that.
	You've hit upon the key point in all of this.
	These censorship tools that were created by government, they're also surveillance tools.
	They were all initially created under the justification of monitoring foreign terrorists.
	Think about 9-11.
	Think about the Patriot Act.
	What was the narrative at the time?
	Oh my God, we're under attack by these Middle Eastern people.
	And therefore, we have to have all these new surveillance powers.
	You know, 90% of America cheered it.
	Yes, we want to be safe.
	We'll let you surveil terrorists overseas.
	You know, give up your freedom for security.
	Well, what has happened and what we have enumerated in our lawsuit is that all of those tools then got turned inward, just like the deep state turned against Donald Trump.
	And came up with the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
	And just like 51 intelligence leaders claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, even though the DOJ now confirms, yeah, it's Hunter Biden's laptop, none of those people will apologize.
	They're all scumbag spooks of something, but also spooks in America who are traitors against this republic.
	I agree.
	So they've turned every tool against the American people.
	That's what we're fighting against.
	And if we don't defeat this, our republic is done.
	It's done.
	There is no two ways to explain this to anyone else except for that right now you have no privacy because when the FBI comes out and they say that there's an anti-government Anti-authority task force.
	And then they're putting out that, you know, the Gadsden flag is a sign of domestic terror.
	I had on two guys that were brought up from the NYPD into the FBI counterterrorism after 9-11.
	And they came on the show and they told me flat out, anyone in that intelligence blob, that unconstitutional intelligence branch that, you know, just the other day on Tucker Carlson, he said the other three branches are terrified of these people.
	They can do anything they want to anyone.
	They control security clearance.
	They control who's hired and fired.
	We're finding out more and more from whistleblowers.
	We have a totally unconstitutional, out of control intelligence community that not just has been weaponized, but that is also walking us towards a totalitarian, no dissent future if we don't get involved because they do control the tech.
	And now we have the AI, too.
	And some of the people that you're talking about, you know, I often say that our country has been captured by a global public private partnership of these oligarchs.
	But if you're talking about the Center for Countering Digital Hate or any of these other groups, they are all funded by the same billionaire class that I believe has captured this nation.
	So these NGOs that are paid for by taxpayer dollar grants and all that total BS, they shouldn't be tax exempt.
	These are these people controlling the controlled demolition of America by keeping the truth from the people, by silencing people like Mike Adams.
	And that is what is happening in this country.
	And I mean, Jason, were you, when you were digging into this, surprised at how far it went?
	Because the truth is, guys, it's on one side.
	It's on one side.
	They're not silencing people that are on the same side as them on the same narrative.
	They're friends at the Council of Foreign Relations or the people that are all involved in Hollywood.
	They're silencing anyone that goes against them because it's dissent.
	It's not because it's not true.
	So you just mentioned the CCDH, Center for Countering Digital Hate.
	They've got us coming for them.
	Let me just say that.
	We're working on that one right now.
	So It is.
	It is a whole cabal.
	They're all interworking.
	Because, I mean, you do have to consider it this way, that there are so many independent people, but there's this whole group of, and I don't know what you would call them, maybe leftists, maybe, I call them just control freaks, right?
	Because all they want is, they want it their way, they want to control everything, and anybody that, as you said, dissents from that, could be shut down.
	And one of the things, and I was talking with Jeff about this just informally, and I said, you know, one of the interesting things about all of this myths and disinformation and all these dog whistle, you know, tags that they put on it, the premise is that you're assuming that they're right.
	Right.
	That everybody says, oh, well, it's got to be misinformation.
	Who says?
	It's just like somebody saying conspiracy theorists.
	That doesn't make them wrong.
	It just means that they're theorizing how a conspiracy works.
	A lot of the times, there's conspiracy.
	So the thing is, is that, and this is, I think, the underlying premise of this lawsuit is very simple for anybody to understand.
	It's anti-competitive motivation, right?
	In my lawsuit, long time back, you know, six years ago, it was about money.
	Then they realized they could use this same process of picking and choosing the winners and losers, right?
	Because the courts have not figured out that that makes them a content provider.
	We're getting there.
	Slowly, this is about to shatter.
	But the fact that they're picking and choosing winners means that they can turn that towards ideology, politics, religion, anything, vaccines.
	And that's exactly what they did here is they choose I'm looking at this with information right now with Facebook internal documents, with the Facebook file.
	They were saying that the anti-vac is the correct position.
	Right.
	It's an opinion.
	They take out the competition.
	And also, both of you know this, my audience knows this.
	This is global.
	These are the globalists doing this.
	This is coming from UNESCO, from the World Health Organization, from all these tentacles, from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, from the Open Society.
	They have their fake journalism school, the Poynter Institute, that is one of the people that do this.
	They also have, you know, the people that went after the David Brock and those people that went after advertisers.
	That went after this, the intimidation.
	Just today, it was exposed.
	CNN wrote a whole hit piece on Tucker Carlson doing a tour and trying to intimidate Live Nation and Ticketmaster not to support it.
	So, I mean, we're dealing with it on all fronts, but the truth is, Mike, that they just don't want the people to know what is going on to protect themselves.
	They don't want...
	The people of the United States or the world to get the proper information as human beings to make the best decisions for themselves and to not live in this hive mind that they're walking us towards.
	You have worked your entire career, basically, Mike, to tell people the truth the way it is so that they can empower themselves.
	What they don't want is an empowered populace.
	That is what this is about.
	It is about silencing.
	It is about demoralizing, dehumanizing.
	up and fight back for their rights, which we are losing very quickly.
	You're exactly right.
	And I would only add to that, that what we found out during the COVID years is that censorship is a form of violence against people.
	So they were censoring any discussion that was positive about, let's say, ivermectin.
	Right.
	Now, I don't I don't sell ivermectin, you know.
	I don't make ivermectin.
	But I'm an advocate of ivermectin as an option.
	People should have been able to learn about ivermectin.
	And I do know that ivermectin has saved millions of lives all over the world.
	The lives of people that I know personally, by the way.
	But that information was not allowed to be distributed by anybody.
	Censorship resulted in people dying.
	Censorship is a weapon of mass destruction against humanity.
	We see the same thing right now.
	With all of these military industrial complex wars happening, especially Ukraine and Russia.
	So when I take an anti-war stance, which means I don't want to see another half a million Ukrainian young men sacrificed on the battlefield.
	I want to see peace.
	I want to see trade.
	I think that Europe, Germany, should be buying energy from Russia and living in peace, and they should be trading back and forth and not going to war and killing each other.
	Well, that's censored.
	Because the establishment wants more murder and death and destruction.
	Censorship is violence.
	And we need to understand that point and share that message with everybody because those who are carrying out censorship, which is the people that we've named in our lawsuit, they are complicit in the death and suffering of potentially hundreds of millions of human beings.
	Right.
	And this goes back a long time.
	We all remember videos and images that we now know were fake and created in studios with the Iraq War.
	This is not new.
	This has been going on a very long time.
	You know, I look back, I talk a lot about that project for a new American century and how they were going to Go out and take over the world, the Cheneys and Rumsfelds and all them.
	And Wesley Clark comes in.
	He's like, why are we going into these countries?
	Well, now, all these years later, we look back and so much propaganda was used against we, the people of the United States, to support that.
	I know you both remember, Mike and I are both obviously Russian agents because we didn't want war in Ukraine.
	But I have to say at the same time, you guys remember the flip of the switch from the The people that were all for the vaccine, pro everything, love Fauci.
	Next day, they want to cancel Russia, and they're all for going into Ukraine.
	It was like overnight, and this was a media operation, and anyone that was saying anything against it, now we've all, a lot of us have been put on a list as people that were anti-Ukraine.
	Just a new one came out this week that the USAID is funding a list of people that are, you know...
	Ukraine deniers or whatever we are at this point, it is so sad because the truth is, Mike, and I want people to understand this, it's not just violence, it's also psychological and emotional abuse.
	And people do not deal well under this level of pressure.
	And you can go back even to 9-11 and everything before that, even to JFK and all of that.
	These trauma-inducing incidents are used to further, I believe, the military-industrial complex and the global millionaires.
	Go ahead.
	I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just want to point out what you're saying is exactly true.
	That's called psychological terrorism.
	So it's important for your audience to realize, if they don't already, that our government is a terrorist organization running terrorist psychological operations or terrorist IOPS. And that is a statement of fact.
	Every agency has been weaponized against the people to induce fear, to coerce, to threaten.
	And again, that list that you're talking about, that's parallel to our lawsuit because the U.S. government funded this organization that then made a list, which some people interpreted as a kill list.
	And you know who was on that?
	Of course, Tucker Carlson was on it.
	Zero Hedge was on it.
	I'm on it.
	Alex Jones on it.
	Everybody's on it.
	It's a kill list.
	Well, that means our own government is making lists to assassinate American people.
	That's what this has come to.
	And this has got to stop.
	Well, that's the direction we're going.
	I mean, you have to be very honest right now.
	When I say to people, I don't want to hear about Trump or Biden.
	I want to hear about every individual American citizen taking responsibility for what's going on in this country.
	None of us, none of us have privacy right now.
	There is zero privacy in this country.
	As I always say, I agreed to a license, a birth specific and a social security card.
	Government's not entitled to any of my data.
	Right now, they have access to all of your data.
	And I know, Jason, this is a big issue with you as well, because it's our data.
	We should control it.
	And they have all the data of our kids.
	When we went remote for the plandemic, let me tell you something.
	They opened files on every single child that went on the remote school.
	That was through Google and Microsoft and all these.
	And they just keep adding and adding.
	And then, you know, when they did the warrantless surveillance 702, like it matters...
	That's just a show for us, for them to expand it.
	So, you know, Jason, you've been fighting this a long time.
	I think people have to really fully understand the pushback, too.
	That you would think that the people in our government, if they weren't all compromised or whatever, would say, oh my God, that's against the Constitution.
	We can't do that.
	But instead, they triple down.
	I mean, it's fascinating.
	They don't care.
	They don't care.
	It is all about control.
	It is about the more information they have, the more control they have on the people.
	I mean, that's just the reality of what What it is, I mean, anybody that has a rational thought here can see it coming down the pipeline.
	I mean, it's coming.
	They're trying to centralize all of the information.
	And that's, I mean, look at last year, you know, Jen Psaki in the press release was talking about the Biden White House wants platforms to coordinate.
	If you get shut down on one platform, they want you shut down on all the platforms, which means that if you speak up, You're shut down.
	Now, I wanted to add also to what Mike was saying here, and a really important point of this whole lawsuit is that a lot of what Mike is talking about, even let's just take, for example, the ivermectin.
	Ivermectin has proven to be effective.
	It saved people's lives, right?
	But they shut that information down, which means people legitimately died.
	Because they blocked information.
	Now, the reason they said, and I kid you not, is because they wanted to ensure that they had informed consent.
	So their theory is that by blocking more information, they're informing people.
	It's so backwards.
	And that's what we've come to realize.
	I mean, think about it.
	Go back to the Patriot Act.
	It was backwards, wasn't it?
	It had nothing to do with being a patriot.
	It had to do with, here, let's just hand over surveillance to the entire government and let them do whatever they want.
	I mean, the TikTok ban, right?
	Why did they have to ram that through?
	Because that was a nightmare.
	What does it say?
	Now, think about this lawsuit that we're filing here.
	It was the State Department's charter to go after foreign misinformation and they turned it into domestic speech weaponization, right?
	Well, what was the TikTok ban?
	Oh, we're going to ban foreign adversary-controlled social media companies.
	Well, Mike nailed it right on the head.
	The reality is that our government is the terrorist.
	They are the foreign entity now.
	The problem is we have been asleep for so long as we the people that a lot of people don't realize we're supposed to be in charge.
	The government doesn't rule us.
	We're supposed to be the ones that control it, but all of these independent government agents are now working, and we found it, they're working with foreign countries in partnership to shut us up.
	This is what you would call irregular warfare.
	This is undermining the United States Constitution, and if they pull this off, that is why this case is beyond important.
	Everybody's talking about their issue and this issue, that's important.
	This is literally free speech.
	We're losing it.
	And 90% of free speech exists on the internet now.
	So this is incredibly important.
	Yeah, and another thing that we have to do, we need to audit and examine what is going on at USAID and National Endowment for Democracy, because those are two things that are government-funded, that are funded by We the People.
	And I'm telling you, I have followed these two groups, color revolution after color revolution.
	I'm watching them In Georgia, I'm watching them in Hungary.
	I'm watching them in Myanmar.
	I mean, people have to understand also all of George Soros' things all over the country.
	This is not freedom.
	It's not freedom here.
	It's not freedom there.
	It is not liberty.
	It is not people having their inalienable rights.
	It is a total control mechanism that has grown out of a government that was never supposed to exist.
	And Mike, this is where I jump to you because you went out there and you did what you had to do, you know, I'm sure everyone out there knows by now that the World Health Organization has partnered up, obviously the UN controls all that too, or is part of that, with Google, YouTube, all of them.
	So a lot of the purge is there.
	They've left enough people stay on there so they can claim plausible deniability.
	But you went out and you created Brighteon.
	You gave a lot of people back their voices.
	You have a free speech platform.
	Health Ranger is huge, whatever.
	And at the end of the day, that should have been enough.
	And it's OK.
	So you do your thing and you continue down that path.
	But no, that became even bigger a problem.
	I mean, even though people aren't hearing about your story as much as Alex Jones is in everyone's face, very similar to what they're doing to you.
	If they had the ability to do what they're doing to him, they probably would because you actually went out there and did something to create a new pathway with Brighteon.
	And that's probably even more of an issue for them.
	Thanks for watching the show.
	You know, again, I'm always looking for solutions.
	And in this volatile economy, protecting your assets is more important than ever.
	That's why I partnered with Beverly Hills Precious Metals.
	Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, my friends at Beverly Hills Precious Metals offer you a personal consultation to help you figure out how to buy and sell gold, silver and other precious metals that will help you the most.

	Take action by scheduling a consultation today with our gold experts.
	Well, look, I'll share something with you that's pretty alarming that I was told through some of my sources, former U.S. Army military intelligence.
	They said, look, Mike, here's the deal.
	If you get too big, they will kill you.
	They censor you so they don't have to assassinate you.
	Yeah.
	If they can keep you small and keep you in a box and keep you to less than 1% of your normal organic audience, then they're happy with that and they'll move on to others or they'll focus on Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson or whoever.
	This is how it works.
	You get too big, they kill you.
	Because there are hit squads, there are black ops teams operating in America right now.
	And by the way, who do you think is burning up all the chicken farms and the food facilities?
	There are black ops teams.
	I know...
	I know these kind of guys.
	I've trained with special forces for self-defense purposes.
	I've trained with these guys.
	Even our friend Michael Yan, he was trained to go into a country and to set fire to everything in the infrastructure.
	That's what special ops do in certain circumstances.
	They don't blow things up.
	They burn things down.
	This is what's happening all across America.
	So we are living under, I mean, you mentioned the National Endowment for Democracy.
	These CIA-run teams, which includes ISIS. ISIS is like a piece on the chessboard that the CIA just deploys wherever they want them in the Middle East for whatever role they want at the moment.
	All of these CIA-run black ops teams, hit teams, assassination, color revolution teams, they've been deployed now domestically ever since 2016.
	So all the dirty tricks are being played on us in America.
	That's what's going on.
	Yeah, and it's incredibly dangerous because, you know, it's crazy.
	I did this show where I read this whole NATO document called The Battle for the Brain.
	And in this, I mean, it is so advanced, you know.
	I've done shows on Mind Wars, which was Michael Aquino in the 60s.
	And it's basically saying we can take down a whole country by manipulating them psychologically.
	We won't need to fire a shot.
	Well, now with technology and everything else they have, all you have to do is look at their own documents, be it the CIA, a D-class, or NATO just puts it right out there, what they're doing, that they're using people's brains as weapons against each other.
	So even with the people coming through at the border or the inner cities or whatever's going on or the different groups that they've divided us all into with their Marxist-Communist nonsense, they're really after our brains.
	And that is what this is really about, is programming people on a massive scale.
	And what's sad, I always say we have to make 1984 fiction again, but if people don't understand that Big Brother is watching at all times, And the scary part, Mike, I want you to just talk about this because you do talk about this on your show too, is that people are walking into it.
	That's my scariest part right now of what I'm watching happening in the country, is people are blindly walking into, and I hate to use the analogy, but it's true, onto the train.
	They are giving them their hands.
	They're making us give our eyes at the airport.
	And you can say no, but they don't tell you that.
	I walk up and I say, you're not taking my eye scan, and I walk right by.
	But most people are.
	This is coming in.
	You've talked about the digital public infrastructure and all of that.
	People have to understand this is a military operation to turn us into a military surveillance state.
	And it's not just here.
	These are worldwide coordinated, right?
	Yes.
	And Mel, that's only the interim goal.
	So the total control and surveillance is just the midpoint of what I believe is the ultimate goal, which is massive global depopulation of the human race.
	Now, I've come to that conclusion over 20 years of doing this, interviewing hundreds of experts, reviewing hundreds of thousands of documents.
	Right now, we are in a massive depopulation push.
	But here's the thing.
	I mean, you brought up the trains.
	I assume you're referring to the Holocaust.
	During the Holocaust, the Third Reich met some resistance because some people realized that they were going to be killed.
	And the Third Reich has become the Fourth Reich.
	Reich.
	That's one of the books by Jim Mars.
	So we now have the Third Reich Nazis running the FDA, running the CDC, running the NIH, and so on.
	What they've come to learn now in our modern era of fifth generation warfare is that the easiest way for them to achieve human extermination is to convince people to go along with their own destruction.
	That's what the pandemic was about.
	That's what the jabs are all about.
	And that's what climate change is all about, convincing people to tear down their energy infrastructure, their food farms.
	And then you'll have mass famine, mass death, and the people will never know that the government targeted them for destruction.
	That's where we are.
	Yeah, and also because they've hidden so much history and it keeps rapidly disappearing, people don't know that this isn't a new tactic.
	It's just they have new tools and ability.
	And, you know, Jason, you and I, obviously, Mike as well, but I'll tell you, there's another aspect to this that's targeting us, which is a demoralization campaign.
	Nobody's watching your programs.
	Nobody's sharing your stuff.
	Your numbers are low.
	There's no engagement.
	I have people, you know, that like me that never got reinstated on on X.
	And yet then the other people got back the hundreds of thousands of followers and they're putting out nonsense and nothing.
	And they're and they're amplified and millions of people are following them.
	And then they think that those people are the truth tellers because social media is also controlled by these people and they're amplifying things.
	And so people think that they are informed, you know, but but you and me, Mike, when we're out there telling people, you know, very specific things like you just brought up about the farms, you know, four people will see that.
	But four hundred thousand people see something right on skimming the surface of Agenda 2030 and not even naming it.
	So, I mean, we are dealing with a demoralization warfare, psychological warfare to make us shut up, too, right, Jason?
	Because you went through that, especially.
	It's funny because what you're talking about there is controlled opposition.
	The ones that are getting the amplification now are the ones that are controlled.
	That's what I'm kind of seeing.
	Do they know that they're controlled?
	Do they know that they're controlled?
	I don't think all of them are, but some of them are for sure.
	You know, because that makes the most sense in the world.
	Shut everybody down.
	And the ones that you let go back up are the ones that run that mid-ground to try and thwart the real information that's getting out there.
	All you have to do is distract enough.
	I mean, and the funny thing is, is remember in this show, I just told you that I wasn't looking, chasing clout or attention to work because I'm not going to be subject to that anymore.
	I've already lost more fans than basically everybody I know, and the thing is that I could never build it back.
	I try to liken it to this.
	I said, well, you know what I did?
	I went and I built my house on the mountain.
	They said this mountain has the best view in the world.
	It turned out that mountain was a volcano, and it burned my house down.
	And now they're saying, build your house again on a volcano.
	How about no?
	No, I'm not going to do that again.
	Social media, unless I'm actually involved with the actual ownership, and I can tell you, I can't announce what it is all about yet, but I've had my hands in a social network that is going to be decentralized.
	We launched it.
	We launched it.
	Horrible woman from the EU talking about pre-bunking information, and there's a very dangerous law in the EU, and I believe that they're going to start trying to put that here.
	But what...
	Let's talk, Mike...
	Can I inject something actually on that point?
	Yeah, sure, go ahead.
	Before we move on, can I inject something on that point?
	Please, please, yes.
	The point of even pre-bunking is this.
	It goes back to exactly what Mike's talking about, which is they hit the tallest nail first.
	Alex Jones, Mike Adams...
	And you, they hit the biggest nails and they rammed them down.
	Pre-bunking is because, and I'm going to explain how this is now occurring, the push that we see for Donald Trump, it's not about Trump.
	What it's about is that people are afraid to speak up.
	You don't see people running their flags anymore or anything else like that, but everybody's going to vote for him.
	Why?
	Why?
	Because they're no longer speaking out.
	They don't want to be the tall nail anymore because they know they're coming for them.
	But the support is there.
	Everybody that's out there listens to you, Mel, listens to you, Mike, and listens to me.
	They know we're right.
	We can back everything we say up.
	And the reality is that although we may not be able to prove everything yet, it will turn out that way.
	So I do think that the underlying thing that you're seeing globally, I mean, look what just happened in France.
	The right one.
	And lo and behold, he undoes that.
	That's what we're seeing globally is this conservative movement to say, no, enough of the control.
	We just want to be human and do our own thing and leave us alone.
	I think, Mike, it's coming from all sides now because what is also happening is that people are awake to this everywhere and a lot of people feel like they don't know what to do, but we are way past the point and this is worldwide.
	And again, I do think that this, I call them the global billionaire oligarchy and their international banking cartel.
	They are aware that we are aware of what they're doing.
	And that makes them even more dangerous, in my opinion.
	But a lot of these people that work for all these different NGOs and then, you know, all the dark money that goes through tides and Arabella and then targets us from all sides, a lot of the people in the lower rungs...
	We have to reverse this.
	And I believe that only we, the people, can do this.
	And this lawsuit is a big step forward in getting out the information.
	We have to make sure that you guys are fully funded and financed and have support to get it to.
	We must have depositions in your case.
	I mean, we must get these people on the record.
	We must prove it.
	The Twitter files aren't enough.
	The Facebook files aren't enough.
	Obviously, the weaponization thing is going to go nowhere, as nothing does in our government.
	But right now, we're at a place – there's been no accountability – And the way I look at it is, like Hannah Arendt said, if everyone is guilty, nobody is guilty.
	We need specific people to be held accountable and we need to dismantle this.
	I frankly don't think DC is salvageable.
	So going forward from this point, what is your, and you talk to a lot of people, what should we the people be doing right now individually to play a part in dismantling this?
	So one of the positive things that is happening and has been happening for the last couple of years is that aware people are choosing to shift their dollars and purchases to support independent or alternative media.
	So one of the things, I mean, without our customer support, for example, we could never have filed this lawsuit.
	Right.
	Hundreds of thousands of dollars already into this, and we've set aside a budget of multiple millions of dollars if necessary to take this to the Supreme Court.
	One of the things about censorship is they deprive you of revenues.
	Right.
	You're demonetized, right?
	So this is key, to shut you down and make sure that you can't defend yourself and that you can't file suit because it's so expensive to do so.
	Right.
	But thanks to your viewers, my viewers, our audience, we have actually been able to overcome that and to generate, with the blessing of God and the support of our customers, enough money to take it to these people and to be able to fund it ourselves.
	Now, technology can also play a big role here.
	Right.
	Now, I'm going to show you my screen, which is just showing you Brighteon.io.
	This is a decentralized, blockchain-driven social media platform built on a backbone called Bastion.
	And I met the founder of Bastion in an interview.
	Mel, you can have one of these that's branded with your name and your channel.
	I'll be coming.
	What I mean is it can be your domain, your engine, but it shares all the same content and users with this universe.
	And you can create that for just a few tens of thousands of dollars to have the whole system engineered for you.
	And the thing is, there are no central servers and there's no one person in charge.
	So think about Elon Musk and X. Maybe you like Elon.
	Maybe you don't like him.
	Maybe you like him on Monday.
	You hate him on Tuesday because that seems to happen a lot, too.
	But it shouldn't be up to one guy or one gal.
	It should never be up to one person.
	On Brighteon.io or Bastion.com, no one person can cancel another person.
	And guess what?
	The government can't seize any servers because there are no servers.
	There are no central servers in that system.
	It is decentralized.
	It's run by nodes just like Bitcoin is run on nodes all over the world.
	So this is decentralized content in the way that Bitcoin is decentralized money.
	And this is the future.
	And we need to continue to encourage people to get out of the banking system.
	Look at decentralized money.
	Look at crypto.
	Get out of the content central banks, which is Frankly, it's Twitter.
	It's Facebook.
	YouTube.
	Get to decentralized content.
	These solutions are rapidly emerging.
	And one more thing, Mel.
	We're even working, let me bring this up.
	We're even working on, and we release models for Brighteon.ai, and these are free.
	We built our own AI models that are non-woke.
	Right.
	That is awesome.
	I've been wondering who was going to do it.
	I'm not surprised it's you.
	We're doing it.
	We built a massive AI infrastructure.
	We're putting these out for free.
	They're open source.
	You can use them commercially.
	There's no charge.
	And you can download models right now today at brighttown.ai.
	So we even have one model that's going to be the Alex Jones model.
	We have all the InfoWars shows from 2001.
	We're building an AI model that will talk like Alex Jones.
	Wow.
	That's great.
	Oh, God.
	Well, this is what it's about.
	It's about innovation.
	But as you both know, because you've studied this, there has been also a big upset and upheaval in tech itself because it looks like they want to crack down on research and development and centralize that into their globalist billionaire oligarcha hands.
	And they want to stop M&A and they want to centralize that.
	So it is very important that people take initiative, whatever their gifts are, whatever gifts God gave you, whatever you put aside when you were younger.
	We're in a time right now in history, I believe, where people can redefine their mission and their passion and everything and put it to use to do what Mike's doing, to do that for yourself, do it in your own world.
	Be that where you are.
	Find ways to get involved.
	Jason Fick came on the scene.
	They ruined his business and his life over there at Facebook.
	And he just started fighting.
	And now he's the expert on Section 230.
	You know, you have to find what it is you do.
	Maybe everyone can't have a show like me or Mike or can't do and be a consultant like Jason, but you definitely have something you can contribute to what is going on right now.
	This is a time where people can become anything they want to be because we need all hands on deck.
	And all you have to do is listen to the people that are fighting on the front lines and say to yourself, what did I do when this totalitarian technocratic...
	Lunacy was knocking on the door of America.
	You have to say, well, you know what I did?
	did, I did this and find what that is.
	Thank you for watching the show.
	You know, I'm always looking for solutions.
	And there's one thing that I stress all the time.
	We have three things that really, really count in this fight to save America.
	Our time, our money and our vote.
	Well, every time you spend your money at one of the big box stores or one of the multinational corporations, you are giving them money to fund the controlled demolition of America.
	They do it through foundations and other means to make sure that our country is divided and not strong and not united.
	So what you need to do is you need to find a better way to invest in America with your dollars.
	I have found a solution.
	If you go to the partners page at the Mel K show dot com and click on set me free, please.
	Yes, go to the partners page at Mel K show dot com.
	Click on set me free, please.
	It's time to make sure that your money is going towards saving America.
	It's going towards freedom and liberty and independence and away from centralization, control, and the multinational corporations that are running the public-private partnership that is destroying our country.
	So again, go to the Partners page at TheMelKShow.com, click on Set Me Free, please, and get started today.
	Jason, last words from you, and then I'll end on Mike.
	So...
	I, you know, you're right.
	This really is a matter.
	It's a war of attrition.
	And just like Mike, you know, my bailiwick, so to speak, has been that because of the time that I've spent in understanding Section 230 and the internet law and how these operate.
	I mean, I've been in, you know, tech, you know, big tech for now for a long time.
	And, you know, I've never actually done this and I'll do it right here.
	Mike, I want to thank you because I understand that because he hired me Hired my attorney and because of these other individuals, it has now given me a source of income to fight back.
	So, literally, I get to turn this fight against them It keeps me in the game.
	I keep at them and they can't stop me now because there's no way to stop me.
	I can tell you I gave it 120% all the time to stop them because I want to end these companies.
	It's ridiculous how much power they have and the danger it is.
	So the same thing and I would welcome anybody else out there that if you think that you have a serious case against big tech You know, I consider them all the time, and if there's something there and you can get into this fight, I would welcome it.
	Because I can tell you right now, they are not protected from liability unilaterally.
	They say they are, they want you to believe that they are, but they're not.
	You can get them.
	All of their decisions, the court is turning.
	They're not going to be able to, like, we're going to be able to get through, you know, and that's part of the reason why I came in with Mike on this case.
	We're prepared for the Section 230 fight.
	Good luck with that.
	That's not going to work here.
	But again, the Social Media Freedom Foundation, that's where I'm really at.
	It is about restoring freedom on the internet.
	We are a 501c3.
	So even if you don't want to bring a case or if you just want to help out financially, you can donate.
	Socialmediafreedom.org, it is tax deductible because we are trying to save your rights.
	That's our goal here.
	That's Mike's goal.
	That's Mel's goal.
	It's all of our goals that are trying to save this country.
	We're trying to protect our constitutional rights, our inalienable freedoms here.
	It's ridiculous what they're doing.
	And I'm going to say to you, Jason, we've been friends for a few years now.
	This is beyond both of us.
	I wake up every morning, I'm like, how did I end up doing this?
	But it's not me.
	It's God.
	I just texted Mike about that.
	They needed people on the front lines.
	And the three of us found ourselves here, but there's millions of other people that can still get on board and get involved.
	It takes on a life of its own.
	But we, the people of the United States, need to go back to being for the people, by the people, and until we dismantle a lot of this unconstitutional but truly just inhuman infrastructure over our lives and our minds and our auto-determination and all of that, We really are going to have to fight.
	And I have to myself thank Mike Adams, too, because I got to tell you, I've been watching you a long time and there's been many times where I was like, I can't keep going.
	And then I'll turn on Mike Adams and I'll be like, OK, I can keep going.
	Listen to what he's saying now.
	I got to dig into that.
	So Mike Adams, to the people out there that are feeling demoralized or dehumanized or like the battle's too heavy and it's too big.
	What do you say to those people?
	Well, let me explain it this way.
	And, you know, Jason said some kind words about me, and thank you, Jason.
	But, Mel, I'm here to say, I thank God for you.
	And what you are doing is a gift to this world.
	And I want you to know that we've got your back.
	And I know you have our back, okay?
	And your viewers and your audience, they've got your back.
	And we should never be afraid to tell the truth.
	Because that's their weapon, is fear against us.
	No matter what happens to us, in the ultimate judgment in the eyes of our Creator, if we leave this world having fulfilled our purpose of telling the truth, saving lives, and informing people of things that can improve and protect and enhance the quality of their lives, then we've lived lives with purpose.
	And you, Mel, that's what you do every single day.
	I do.
	Thank you.
	And so, take...
	Take a sense of self-love from that because you are a gift to humanity and your viewers and your audience, thank you for supporting Mel Kay.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you so much, Mike Adams and everyone out there that does what we do.
	Look to you and look up to you for your fearlessness and your ability to really follow stories wherever they go.
	And I honestly, as you know, I believe that our country needs transparency on so many levels and We need to heal from within, and that has a lot to do with really unpacking some stuff, and you do it better than anyone else.
	So I'm so grateful to have both of you here.
	I happen to also be on Brighteon, so if you are not over at Brighteon already, make sure you go over there.
	They have amazing content.
	Mike Adams' show every single day is groundbreaking and fearless and will pump you up and keep you going.
	Make sure you're also at the Health Ranger.
	Anywhere else that they can go to...
	Find out what you're doing, Mike.
	Well, look, we provide platforms for human freedom.
	It's not about me.
	It's about the platform.
	So it's brighttown.com.
	It's brighttown.io, as I mentioned today, decentralized free speech platform.
	And you can use brighttown.ai for the downloadable AI language models.
	We've got a lot of new ones coming out.
	And by the way, those work offline.
	You don't need an internet connection.
	Wow.
	So when the internet kill switch kicks in, you can run these locally and have a massive encyclopedic chatbot of survival and food knowledge and natural medicine knowledge at your fingertips.
	So that's what we're doing.
	We're giving back to humanity.
	Oh, that's great.
	I love it.
	That is so awesome.
	And you give back all the time because there's amazing articles also all over the Health Ranger for anything you could need.
	So thank you so much, Mike Adams.
	saying thank you so much, Jason Fick.
	And I'll put all your links below.
	Keep up with me.
	Let me know how it goes.
	Anything you need, please.
	The Mel K Show is an open door for both of you.
	Thank you so much, guys.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Bless you.
	Thank you.

	Great news, guys.
	We've been beta testing with my founding members.
	The Mel K Show live on Sunday nights at 7 p.m.
	And it is going incredibly well.
	We have a community that we all connect.
	We can share information.
	Questions are asked of me, of other people.
	We share back and forth.
	This is really a place to go on Sunday nights.
	Get ready for the week.
	Share what's working, what's not working, how we can make things better, how we can align with each other.
	Wherever you are in the country, there's many things you can do.
	So we've added locals now.
	So on locals, you can also join us on Sunday nights, or you can join members.themelkashowlive.com.
	The members at melkashowlive.com is a community for you.
	That continues 24-7, seven days a week.
	We put up many different things there, ideas, documentaries that are great.
	People tell what they're doing in their local community.
	They can reach out to other people all over the country.
	It's kind of has a cool Facebook vibe, but it's really about community, fellowship, helping each other.
	Back in stock at the Health Ranger store, we now have the Elderberry Echinacea Tincture Combo, which is outstanding for the immune system.
	That's in the middle there.
	Back in stock.
	We've also got Quercetin available, which is a very popular item, as everybody's learning about the supportive benefits of Quercetin.
	We have broccoli sprout powder in capsules now back in stock.
	We also have a little bit of the actual powder as it's shown there in that canister.
	All these available at healthrangerstore.com.
	Go to the website, find out what we have there.
	We've got a lot of new products, a lot of products back in stock.
	And then also we have the pea protein.
	Back in stock.
	Now, for those who like plant-based proteins, pea protein, it's very smooth.
	The texture here is very smooth.
	It's also one of the cleanest, well, I think the cleanest plant-based protein you can get in terms of lab test results, whereas rice protein sometimes, depending on the source, can have arsenic in it.
	We've seen that in rice protein, some lead, some cadmium.
	But pea protein is very, very clean.
	Some people prefer a whey protein taste, but if you're used to doing vegan proteins, then pea protein is more in your wheelhouse of what it's supposed to taste like, and that's a really great, clean, smooth product right there.
	That's back in stock at our store.
	But check out our hundreds of other products at healthrangerstore.com.
	And remember...
	That every purchase helps us with our big lawsuit that we filed.
	We're suing Google, Meta, we're suing Twitter or X, we're suing the Department of Defense, we're also suing Homeland Security, News Guard, and various NGOs for censorship collusion.
	In our lawsuit, we're exposing the censorship industrial complex, and we're working to dismantle it, to compel the court to actually dismantle this censorship complex so that the free speech rights of the American people can be restored, as is supposed to be guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Bill of as is supposed to be guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights under But we have to fight for it, and we need your support in order to carry out and fund that fight.
	So shop at HealthRangerStore.com and help us take this fight to the censors to dismantle the censorship industrial complex while at the same time enhancing your health and nutrition with laboratory-tested, certified, organic, ultra-clean products that we offer.
