	Well, there's so much going on right now.
	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Wednesday, July 31st, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams, of course.
	Thank you for joining me today as we are building the infrastructure of human freedom and doing our best to try to decode current events.
	And it is increasingly difficult to do so, given all the contradictory information, all the government cover-ups, all the competing narratives, but we are doing the best we can.
	I've got several things for you today.
	Including a very important update on the shooting of President Trump.
	Some new evidence has emerged that has now altered my conclusion, or at least the way I'm leaning, about what actually happened.
	And it's now leaning back toward a single shooter scenario for reasons that I will explain in detail.
	And I'm a little bit surprised that that's where it has led.
	Very surprised, actually.
	But I'll explain that.
	We'll get to that in a few minutes.
	In the meantime, you know there's this revolt happening in Venezuela, and the former president, or maybe current president, depending on who you believe, of Venezuela, Maduro, he said in the last day that the CIA killed JFK, and that the CIA also tried to kill Donald Trump.
	And then he says the CIA is running a coup against him in Venezuela.
	Of course, the U.S. State Department is siding with the opposition that I believe won the election, and it looks to me like Maduro is covering up the truth and rigging the election and just claiming to have received 51% of the vote.
	But it's also very strange to find the United States State Department siding with the opposition rather than with Maduro.
	So I don't...
	I can only imagine what that's all about.
	I'm sure somebody knows.
	But what did Maduro do to anger the U.S. deep state?
	Well, something, clearly.
	And they do want him toppled.
	So it always begs the question, is the popular uprising against Maduro, is it truly 100% organic?
	Or is there a CIA-run color revolution element involved in that?
	It's a legitimate question.
	I don't know the answer to that.
	But it's a question that we need to be aware of.
	Now, at the same time that that's happening, Israel apparently has killed the president of Hamas or the leader of Hamas named Ishmael Hanea.
	Hanea, I think, is his name, has been killed with an attack, a bombing of his residence in Iran.
	It was an assassination carried out by Israel, and they've also killed a leader of Hezbollah in Beirut in a bombing just a few hours before that.
	And so we now have two key leaders, the leader of Hamas and the leader of Hezbollah, have both been killed with, I believe, bombings.
	In the last 24 hours, this means that Israel is doing everything it can to try to provoke Iran into attacking it or to try to provoke Hezbollah into an attack.
	It's clear to me, at least it seems to me, I should say, that Israel is poking every bear they can find or, you know, they're punching every button.
	They're trying to provoke in every way possible an attack on Israel so they can claim self-defense and pull the United States into a war with Iran.
	So this is a very big deal.
	This is highly destabilizing in the region and it shows that Israel, well, it shows two things.
	Number one, they're quite desperate in their aggression to try to start a regional war, but also they are shockingly effective.
	It shows that Mossad is indeed able to carry out operations that are quite complex, seemingly very difficult.
	And that Mossad actually is showing itself to have a pretty successful track record in killing anybody at once in any country in the Middle East at any time with a very high success rate.
	And so we have to factor that into the news.
	So I see on Twitter a lot of celebration of these deaths from Americans who are pro-Israel, seemingly without any real knowledge of the destabilizing effects of these assassinations.
	And that's what concerns me.
	There's a lot of cheerleading like, good riddance, and he deserved to die and stuff like that.
	From people who should know better, people who should realize what this means in terms of regional destabilization and the fact that Israel itself may be provoking a war that it cannot survive.
	So if you support Israel and if you support Israel's existence, you may want to exercise caution about these events because Israel may have set into motion a series of events that will challenge the very existence of Israel as a Jewish nation.
	Just be careful when you start assassinating Israel.
	A bunch of leaders across the Middle East and the groups that they led or influenced have very capable weapons.
	Just be cautious.
	In political news, Carrie Lake has won the Republican primary for the United States Senate, of course, in Arizona.
	And Carrie Lake should have been the governor of Arizona, but of course that was stolen from her.
	By the Democrats in the 2020 election where the big steal took place nationwide.
	So we are very happy to see Carrie Lake win that primary.
	And now she's going to face off against a Democrat.
	Let's see, Ruben Gallego in the November election.
	Now, I've got an interview coming up for you today with Jeffrey Prather.
	It's former DEA. I think 19 years, also former DIA, worked with Secret Service, worked with protective detail operations, and he's got an analysis on the Trump shooting that I think really stands out.
	Now, for the record, we still have a lot of questions, all of us.
	Nobody knows, well, at least we who don't have access to the government records, we don't know yet exactly what happened.
	We're trying to piece it together.
	And sometimes our conclusions do change from day to day as new evidence emerges.
	But I believe we're coalescing with a more and more accurate picture over time.
	So this interview with Jeffrey Prather is really significant.
	And in it, he says, the bombshell is, he says that he has no doubt that government has overwatched video footage of the whole thing.
	Whether it's drone footage or satellite footage or aircraft footage, He says there's no question that somebody within the federal government videotaped crooks crawling onto the roof, videotaped everything that went down, whether there was even another shooter or who may have helped crooks or how it all went down.
	There's a video, a top-down video, and somebody's got it.
	And we'll probably never see that video because, of course, they don't want that video to ever be made public, but...
	If somebody leaks it, well, that WikiLeaks style or something, that would be very different.
	But as far as we know, right now, we will never have access to that video, and it will probably be buried because it probably shows that the government itself was complicit in this entire operation.
	It's my guess.
	That's my guess.
	But we'll see.
	This is a developing story, of course, about the Trump shooting.
	I'm going to get to some more details here shortly because I publish a new article on naturalnews.com that provides a new analysis of that situation.
	We'll get to that here in just a minute.
	Also, I've got a new sermon for you today.
	Yes, this would be Sermon Episode 3, and it's about...
	Man's economy versus God's economy, whereas man's economy is synthetic, it's artificial, it's rooted in debt, and when you participate in man's economy, you get out less than what you put in,
	versus God's economy, which is rooted in abundance, in limitless creation, and All kinds of forms of natural wealth and in God's economy you get out a multiple of what you put in.
	You put in X and you get out like 3X or more.
	So the sermon today is about those differences and I would rate today's sermon as 8.5 out of 10.
	Yesterday's was a 7.
	Sermon number 1 was a 10.
	Today's It's an 8.5.
	Maybe 9 if you push it.
	So it's a pretty strong sermon.
	I think you'll really enjoy listening to it.
	And it's got a lot of, of course, practical information for you about how to navigate what we're going through in this world.
	And I will remind you that I'm doing 100 sermons in 100 days And today is sermon number three, so we've got 97 days to go.
	And the reason I chose that timing is because I believe that in 97 days that we're all about to witness a significant event, not just the election itself, but a significant event that will be historic and world-changing.
	And I don't mean that it's exactly on that one day.
	I mean, it could be plus or minus a few days.
	There's a time period that And yes, it's around the election, but I believe that there's going to be a spiritual awakening.
	There's going to be kind of like a cosmic red-pilling type of wave that sweeps across at least the Western world, and that's going to happen around the election.
	Maybe not even on Election Day or even the day after, but around that time or around 97 days from right now.
	So that's why I'm doing 100 sermons in 100 days to help us prepare.
	Now, the timing of all this may be off.
	Who knows?
	There could be...
	Maybe this election goes off without a hitch and it becomes just a boring affair and Trump wins and the Democrats say, oh, well, shucks, we'll try harder next time and we accept the results and then the rest of November will be boring and December will be boring and then Trump will be sworn in in January and everything will just be smooth sailing, right?
	And if you believe that that's going to happen...
	I got a bridge to sell you, you know?
	That is very unlikely to happen, but I'm open to the possibility.
	We'll see.
	There's also breaking news in Texas where the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has now ruled in favor of Texas and its floating buoys.
	Remember, Texas floated a string of buoys in the middle of the Rio Grande River, and that was designed to stop the crossing of illegals who were just walking across the river or sometimes swimming across, right?
	And so Texas just put in a bunch of floating buoys.
	And, you know, of course, the DOJ sued.
	I think it was a DOJ lawsuit.
	But anyway, Texas just won the lawsuit at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
	And yes, it was the DOJ that sued.
	So now Texas is going to reinstall the buoys.
	So this brings up some obvious jokes, like what's the difference between conservatives and Democrats and their view on the border?
	Well, conservatives want to see a line of buoys at the border today.
	But Democrats would much prefer a line of boys.
	You know, human trafficking, right?
	Yeah, of course they want to traffic all across the river and the border and everything else.
	But conservatives want to stop the trafficking.
	And it turns out they can use buoys in order to get that done.
	But, you know, speaking of jokes and Democrats and Kamala, who's running for president, or Kamala, If you were to ask Kamala, what rhymes with hominy?
	And you know, hominy is a traditional southern food.
	I don't know if you are aware of that.
	Not a lot of people eat hominy now, but I've had a few dishes of hominy in my days.
	But if you ask Kamala, what rhymes with hominy?
	Her answer would be, oh, that's simple.
	The ecomony.
	And we're going to beat inflation by improving the economy.
	And of course, that's a line from Idiocracy, where President Comacho said, we're going to fix the economy.
	All right, let's move into the new interpretation of evidence coming out of the Trump shooting situation.
	I'm going to show you the most recent rifle picture.
	That I sort of put together.
	I took a screen grab from one of the body cams, showing the rifle in sunlight, and then I use an AI engine to upscale the resolution and add some detail.
	And I showed you this picture a few days ago.
	It's a pretty good picture, but the thing that I was really confused about was what was this thing extending from the right side of the receiver?
	And, silly me, I did not realize what that was.
	I should have.
	I should have realized what that was.
	Because that realization turns out to be a key piece in this whole story.
	And it helps us solve the mystery of how many shooters there were, or perhaps only one shooter, or where did the bullets come from that hit people, hit innocent bystanders, and hit Trump as well.
	So here's what this is.
	Let me show you the image, and I'll ask my editor to kind of zoom in on the receiver, which is the center part of the rifle right behind the optic.
	And you see this piece that is sticking out of the right, and I was confused by that.
	Now it's obvious.
	This is a rear sight that's mounted 90 degrees off axis.
	And in fact...
	Now that you look at it, the front sight and the rear sight, the iron sights, are both mounted 90 degrees off axis.
	They're mounted on the right side of the rifle.
	This is a key piece of evidence, and it's now obvious.
	I can see it.
	And I have sights that are 45-degree sights, and I've trained with them.
	You might wonder, well, why would you use sights mounted on the side or mounted at 45 degrees?
	Well, because depending on what you're doing, for example, if you are in a self-defense situation and you have to hit the ground and you're firing underneath a vehicle at the enemy that's trying to kill you or hijack you or whatever, you would have your rifle tilted if you are in a self-defense situation and you have to hit the In this scenario, we'll imagine your rifle is tilted to the left.
	And then if you have your iron sights mounted off axis from the top of your rifle, in other words, the iron sights mounted either 45 degrees or 90 degrees to the right, then you could tilt your rifle to the left and you would still have a set of iron sights and you could pop off some rounds with some pretty decent then you could tilt your rifle to the left and you would still have a set of The scenario in which you would mount iron sights on the side would typically include a scenario where you expect to be laying down.
	The reason why is because if you've ever tried to shoot an AR-15 prone, that is, lying down on your stomach with the rifle facing forward and right side up, you'll discover that the magazine's in the way.
	The magazine...
	A typical 30-round magazine prevents the rifle from being low enough to the ground, and the rifle is actually too high and forces you to kind of raise your head up too high.
	It's a very uncomfortable shooting position when you're lying down.
	So this is why, for example, bolt-action sniper rifles typically don't have a big magazine like that.
	They might have perhaps a 10-round magazine or a 6-round magazine.
	It kind of depends on the caliber.
	But a lot of sniper rifles have only a 5-round magazine.
	And that's the reason.
	Because if you're on the ground, the magazine can't be so big that, you know, it's in the way.
	So what this indicates, and I was at first reluctant to realize this, and admittedly, I missed this detail.
	But what it indicates is that Crooks, and this is Crooks' rifle, is that Crooks had planned to shoot from a prone position and And that he knew he was going to have to lay his rifle to the left flat and that the magazine would be in the way and therefore he mounted these iron sights off axis 90 degrees on the right side of the rifle.
	That changes everything.
	Why?
	Well, it explains so much.
	Number one, it explains that there was a lot of forethought that went into this.
	It wasn't just a spontaneous thing like, hey, Crooks, come on down and we're going to have a fun day today playing security drills or whatever.
	Clearly, whoever was handling Crooks, and I do believe he had a handler, I walked him through the scenario and told him, you're going to be on a roof.
	You're going to climb up this building.
	You're going to be laying down, so you need to mount your sights at a 90-degree angle.
	And he did that.
	And he probably practiced with that, and he probably zeroed those sights at 90 degrees.
	But this also explains two key things, or three key things, that threw all of us off, all of us who were analyzing the audio files.
	The first thing is you may recall that there was a burst of three shots followed by a 2.6 second gap followed by a burst of five shots.
	And you may recall that the sound characteristics of those two groups of shots were somewhat different.
	And both myself and Dr.
	Chris Martinson believe that that was indicative of two different rifles shooting.
	But now that we know that these iron sights are mounted on the right, a different scenario emerges where the first three shots are fired by this rifle with the rifle laying on its left side with crooks looking through the iron sights, you know, the off-axis sights.
	And then, after those first three shots are fired, realizing that he has not hit Trump in the head, that he sees Trump duck, and he sees some Secret Service begin to move onto Trump to cover him,
	what Crooks likely does, or at least this is the current best fit for the data, is in the 2.6 second pause, Is he rotates the rifle to its normal configuration, you know, zero axis, and he raises himself up.
	He reacquires his target using the red dot sight, the red dot optic, which is on the top of his rifle.
	So there's two different sets of sights on this rifle.
	There's the iron sights on the right, and then there's the red dot optic on top, where it would normally be, you know, that's where you would normally have sights, on the Picatinny rail right there.
	And then he reacquired the target and then fired a burst of five rounds through looking through the red dot optic.
	This explains the pattern of the pause, but it also explains why the rifle sounded different.
	Because for the first three shots, the rifle barrel was very, very close to the roof.
	In the five shots that followed, the rifle was elevated above the roof.
	Because it was rotated into its normal position.
	That also means that Crooks himself was more elevated off the base of the roof, which would have made him a lot more visible to counter snipers.
	So now we have a rational explanation for the sound differences between the first three rounds and then the subsequent five rounds.
	They could have come from the same rifle and just sounded different because the rifle was oriented differently, which in one case it was closer to the roof.
	In the second case, it was farther from the roof.
	Same rifle, but different sound signatures.
	The other thing is that it may explain the brass.
	Why was brass on both the north and south side of that roof?
	Because as I said, I think yesterday or in previous days, I said, you know, if you're shooting eight rounds of brass out of a rifle, that brass is mostly going to go to the same place because it's all shooting out the right side of the rifle, right?
	I think you've heard me say that.
	But I did not consider that for the first three rounds, the rifle was rotated 90 degrees to the left and the brass would have been popping out the top or what?
	It would be going straight up because the right side, the ejection port of the rifle would be facing up if you have the rifle rotated to the left.
	And so that brass, let's say the first three rounds were up, up, up.
	And then Crooks gets up, orients the rifle to the correct position, fires five more rounds, and those five pieces of brass go to the right.
	Right, right, right, right, right.
	So it's quite possible that the first three pieces of brass got shot over the pitch of the roof to the south side, and the next five pieces of brass stayed on the north side where Crooks was.
	See, suddenly there's an explanation for that.
	In addition to that, Dr.
	Chris Martinson told me in a private message that he had seen a freeze frame that looked like a law enforcement officer lifting the rifle off of Crook's dead body.
	Now, I haven't seen that frame myself, and I'm hoping to see it soon, hoping to make sense of it.
	Dr.
	Martinson said it was kind of grainy, but he says he's convinced that law enforcement did move the rifle out of the hands, the dead hands of Crook's, And that explains why the rifle was seven feet away.
	And that's one of my main questions, is how did the rifle get seven feet away?
	Well, clearly, if law enforcement got up there and moved it, then okay, then that explanation is covered.
	And that seems reasonable, that if you were the first cop on the roof, you might take the rifle out of the hands of this person.
	Apparently dead body, but you don't always know 100%.
	Like, is he really dead?
	Or maybe he could still get off a shot.
	I mean, you don't know at first until you evaluate, right?
	If you're just the first cop on the roof, your first inclination is probably like, get the weapon out of this guy's hands.
	Whether he's dead or not dead or mostly dead.
	I mean, if you were a cop, wouldn't you just say, let's get the rifle out of his hands?
	So that does make sense.
	That seems rational, right?
	So this is starting to answer then a lot of questions that many of us had.
	And also, at the very first, when I thought there were three shooters, it turns out that that's because rounds number, well, six, seven, and eight were partially gated by the microphone at the Trump podium.
	And thus, the snap, boom, audio sounds were muted, or some of them were muted by that microphone.
	And then when we were trying to do the calculations of the distances, it threw those off because we were missing some of the sounds.
	And then later when we added other audio tracks, we could clearly hear those sounds.
	And then those sounded like the same kind of shots that were from, you know, the original one, two, three, four, and five rounds.
	So that started to clear up that picture, and that's when I updated my chart and said, okay, I can't say any more that there's a second or third shooter.
	We don't know.
	There might be two.
	There might be a shooter in the second floor window.
	Well, then...
	Another group called Raven Geostrategic.
	And by the way, this is all covered in an article that I have on naturalnews.com right now.
	And I show their overhead map called Lines of Fire Through the Impact Area.
	And I'm going to show you this graphic right now.
	Again, this is from Raven Geostrategic, and that's their website, ravengeostrategic.com.
	Now, if you take a look at this, you'll see on the left...
	You see the orange arrow?
	It says location of the shooter.
	That's where Crooks' body was found.
	And there's another line of potential fire on the left-hand side that shows a second-floor window in an adjacent building.
	And then there's a third line of fire of a second-floor window of that same building, but more to the west.
	Now, understand that this map is not oriented north-south.
	It's actually rotated north, roughly north on this map is to the left, and the top would be east.
	So if you draw the lines from these three possible shooting locations and then you overlay it where the known casualties occurred, which near the stage, Trump was shot at the podium and then there were injuries Trump was shot at the podium and then there were injuries in the red It's a little bit difficult to see.
	You have to zoom in a little bit.
	That's called the impact area, the red zone, kind of a red wedge.
	You will find out that the hits on the innocent bystanders and the hit on Trump only line up with rounds fired from Crook's position.
	The impact area is not consistent with rounds fired from other locations, except there's one other possibility, which could have been that maybe there was a shooting team located in the first floor of the building.
	underneath crooks on the roof.
	So that's a possibility that we do have to continue to consider.
	There could have been a second team there, again, underneath Crooks, And then that team would have potentially produced the same area of impacts and casualties as we're seeing here.
	And there are questions of whether there was a team on the first floor.
	I showed the video from Stuart the other day, video that...
	Perhaps in a couple of frames seem to show maybe a rifle, a visual signature of a suppressed rifle and an audio signature from a first floor window.
	The Raven Geostrategic team has looked very closely at that and they have determined that those two frames merely depict a reflection from the window.
	And they've determined that all those windows were closed and that there was another frame earlier in that film that showed a similar reflection from another window.
	Since they've done such a deep dive on this, I respect their work and I think they may be correct.
	I still leave open the possibility that Perhaps there's a different explanation.
	Maybe the shooting team removed the windows, so we didn't see a window open.
	There's just no window at all, so maybe it looks closed, but it's not.
	I mean, it's a possibility.
	We still have to consider a few possibilities here.
	But we are, in essence, there's more and more data pointing to the single shooter scenario, which is really interesting to me because I did not expect to find myself reaching this, or at least leaning in this direction.
	I thought for sure there were multiple shooters, and I thought the evidence would point us in that direction.
	And for a while, I suspected a shooter from the water tower as well, or perhaps other locations.
	But more and more the evidence keeps leading us now.
	It's kind of coalescing.
	The picture is beginning to fill out.
	It's kind of like if you have a puzzle on the table in front of you and you're putting pieces of the puzzle where they belong and little by little the picture of this puzzle is taking shape.
	And that's what we're doing with all of this emerging evidence and more videos and more audio analysis and the lines of fire analysis here from Raven.
	And the analysis of the rifle.
	And by the way, credit for that goes to a channel on YouTube called Mr.
	Guns gear that pointed out, or they figured out that that was an off-site mounted iron sight set, both front and rear.
	And honestly, I missed that.
	I totally missed that.
	I look at it now, I'm like, oh yeah, of course that's what it is.
	But I wasn't thinking that at first.
	I was wondering, like, what is that thing hanging off the right?
	I didn't know.
	And it just didn't occur to me that somebody would have mounted an iron sight, a rear iron sight, 90 degrees!
	Because I've never seen that before.
	I have never seen that before.
	And, you know, even to this moment, let me tell you folks something.
	Even right now, looking at that picture, if I could, to my editor, if you could show that picture again.
	You know what's strange about that rear sight?
	Like where it's mounted?
	It seems like it's mounted right over the ejection port.
	Doesn't it?
	Like, if you were going to mount a rear sight at 90 degrees off axis on a rifle, where would...
	Now, for those of you who know about AR-15s and guns and your gunsmiths and so on, where would you actually want to mount that?
	Well, I can tell you the answer.
	You would mount it It would be on the Picatinny rail several inches forward of where you see it in this picture.
	It would be essentially just rotated off axis from the red dot site.
	The red dot site is mounted on the Picatinny rail.
	And a lot of these rail systems will have a side rail or both side rails, like Picatinny rails on the left and right.
	Or you would sometimes buy an adapter to mount to the top rail and it would give you like a 90 degree rail on the right and then you would mount the rear sight on that.
	That would make even more sense, but where it's mounted right now, I don't understand how this rifle operated.
	And so I am desperate to see a photo of this rifle With the rear off-axis sight clearly shown, like, where is that thing?
	Because in what it looks like in this picture, it would have blocked the brass, I think.
	What do you think?
	I mean, we're all asking questions here, folks.
	We're all, you know, we're puzzle solvers.
	Someone asked me, like, why are you so obsessed with this?
	Well, I'm not obsessed with it.
	I like to solve puzzles.
	That's why I work the Rubik's Cube all the time.
	I'm getting pretty good with the cube, by the way.
	I get much faster with the cube and I'm learning more algorithms.
	And that's because I just have a super geeky puzzle-solving type of brain.
	And I'm sorry, that's maybe an obsession I have.
	I like to solve riddles and puzzles.
	And this shooting, in my mind, it's like this weird puzzle.
	And I'm trying to figure out what narrative fits all the evidence.
	And I suspect Dr.
	Martinson has the same kind of thinking.
	And a lot of the other guys that are working on this is like, we're puzzle solvers.
	There's no other explanation, really?
	I mean, we want to know who did this, and we want the explanation to make sense.
	So when we see anything that stands out as weird, you know, we're going to ask questions.
	And that's a question I have right now.
	Like, how is this rear iron sight able to be mounted there in a way that the rifle can function?
	Right?
	So I even posted on social media about this, asking anybody for help if they knew, like, how would you even mount a rear sight right where it is there?
	I don't even know.
	What would you even mount it to?
	There's not a Picatinny rail there.
	I mean, what do you have right there on the right side of the AR receiver?
	You know, you have the ejection port on some rifles.
	You have behind that, you have a little bit of a deflection, a little angle there, and then you have the forward assist.
	You know, where you can shove rounds if they don't fully load.
	Normally don't have to mess with the forward assist.
	I mean, what do you have?
	You have the mag release button there, you know, or latch, whatever you want to call it.
	I mean, there's nothing to mount anything.
	You can't mount a rear sight to that.
	I mean, what do you do?
	Like, super glue it on there?
	It's just so bizarre.
	That this observation actually leans away from the single-shooter theory because it begs the question, how could he have shot this rifle?
	Right?
	I mean, again, this is what's so frustrating about this investigation, is that there's so many contradictory theories or even contradictory pieces of information that some pieces line up and say, okay, it's all from Crooks, and then other pieces of information are like, but wait a minute, how did that rifle function?
	You know what I mean?
	I have a question.
	And notice the FBI won't show us the rifle.
	Why don't they just release pictures of the rifle, like, really clear?
	Here's the front, here's the side, here's the back, you know.
	Tell us, show us the rifle.
	And somebody from the FBI should take this rifle out and shoot it and see if it works.
	But, of course, they'll never do that.
	They're never going to show us that.
	What if they fire around and the brass just deflects back into the ejection port and then you have a failure to feed?
	Like, oh, guess what?
	This rifle doesn't even work.
	It doesn't cycle.
	Because the brass is all blocked.
	I mean, there's so many questions here.
	So many questions.
	And what's weird about this case is that nothing is normal.
	Nothing is normal.
	And by the way, even if you decide that Crooks fired all the rounds, you still have so many questions like, why did it take 16 seconds for Secret Service to shoot him back?
	What's with 16 seconds?
	What's going on?
	Right?
	Or, why did he know to get on that roof?
	Like, who told him?
	Like, there's an uncovered roof.
	Go for it.
	It's wide open, buddy.
	It's all yours.
	Or how did he know that Secret Service wouldn't be providing coverage at this event?
	Or how did he know that the local cops would basically just let him do whatever he wanted on the roof while they were walking around like Keystone cops looking up at the roof instead of getting on the roof?
	You know, how did Crooks know that he would be able to thread the needle of ultra-tight security How did he know that?
	So you don't need a multiple shooter scenario in order to arrive at the conclusion that this was an inside job.
	Because somebody handled Crooks.
	Somebody showed him.
	Somebody gave him the blueprint or the plans.
	They watched him.
	It's almost like they were making sure that he went through all the checkpoints.
	Like, yep, Crooks is right on track.
	Over and out.
	Crooks has just stepped through checkpoint number seven.
	Tell Cheadle he's on track.
	I mean, you can only imagine the comms.
	Oh, that no longer exists, by the way, because Cheadle says, well, we don't have any comms.
	Nobody recorded any comms.
	So that's all gone.
	No comms recorded.
	No Overwatch videos are being released.
	No photos of the rifle.
	No videos of the rifle functioning.
	There's so many questions.
	I commit to you, however.
	I commit to you.
	I will follow the evidence wherever it leads.
	If that's a single shooter theory or if it's a multiple shooter theory, right now I'm leaning towards a single shooter based on the evidence.
	But I have a lot of questions, as you just heard.
	But I commit to you, I will follow the evidence.
	I don't have a preconceived outcome here that I'm trying to prove.
	I'm not trying to prove anything.
	I'm just trying to solve the puzzle.
	That's all.
	I would like to have an explanation that makes sense and fits the observations.
	That's all.
	Whatever that is.
	I don't care what it is.
	I just want to know how this happened and what happened.
	So maybe we'll get there at some point soon, I hope, maybe.
	And if we don't, then, well, people will be trying to solve this mystery for the next couple of decades, I would imagine.
	Kind of like 9-11.
	Which is so abundantly obvious that they put demolition charges in Building 7, obviously, and brought down Building 7, which wasn't even hit by an airplane.
	So, you know, that's not a mystery.
	But according to the mainstream media, you know, they still won't admit the truth about any of that.
	So, go figure, right?
	Go figure.
	Sometimes these cover-ups last forever, like the JFK assassination.
	You know, he was killed by the CIA, maybe with the help of the mafia.
	I mean, it's abundantly obvious at this point.
	It's not a great mystery.
	But yet, the truth has never really been acknowledged, has it?
	And that's probably going to be the case with this attempted assassination of Trump, which I believe was run by the deep state.
	Alright, with that said, we're about to jump into today's sermon, which I think you'll really enjoy.
	Again, it's about God's economy versus man's economy.
	And then after that, we'll have the interview with Jeffrey Prith.
	You know, actually, you know what?
	Maybe I should switch it up.
	Maybe I should put the interview.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to put the interview here since it's an interview about the shooting.
	That would make more sense.
	And then we'll do the sermon after that.
	Is that cool?
	All right, well, we'll push the sermon to the end of this.
	That way, any of you who don't want to hear the sermon, because I've heard that feedback from a couple of people, like, I don't really want the sermon.
	Okay, that's fine.
	We'll just put it at the end, and you can just, you know, you can stop listening after the interview if you want.
	But I've also heard a lot of great feedback from people who love the sermons, so I do want to include it, but I'll just put it at the end.
	And that way it's everybody's choice.
	You know, libertarian spirituality.
	You know, you can choose faith if you want, but you don't have to.
	No one's forcing you.
	Libertarian spirituality.
	I love it.
	All right.
	So then here's the interview with Jeffrey Prather, which I think you'll find really fascinating.
	Before that, let me plug our sponsors today, the Satellite Phone Store.
	Of course, backup communications, which will be incredibly important during times of chaos or power grid outages or Or cell towers going down or AT&T having another massive outage or whatever's going on.
	So go to sat123.com and check out the fact that they have these bivvy sticks, which are two-way satellite text messaging devices where you can text anybody's phone anywhere in the world by bouncing the text off the satellites.
	You don't even need cell towers.
	You don't need cell phone service.
	You're using the satellites in order to send text and then your friends can reply to you and you'll get it via satellite and you'll be able to see it locally right on your own phone because the bivy stick talks to your phone using Bluetooth even if your phone has no SIM card and no service.
	Okay?
	So there's no cell phone service required in order to use these devices.
	So check all that out at sat123.com.
	And also, don't forget about the Connect-A-Mobile service, which is found at phone123.com.
	And this is a privacy-oriented replacement for AT&T or other carriers.
	You switch over to connect a mobile and suddenly you have massive privacy, encrypted text, encrypted data, built-in VPNs, encrypted voice calls to other users who have the same kind of software on their phone, of course, and the same carrier.
	That way it's point-to-point encrypted.
	It doesn't even go through central servers, by the way.
	So you want to have a super private phone, go to phone123.com and sign up for the Connect a Mobile service.
	It's a game changer.
	And when you use that service, all your IP addresses will be in Miami.
	Like, wherever you are in the world, you're actually in Miami.
	What do you know?
	It's just amazing.
	Can you imagine the FBI probably gathering up all the phone records of everybody that was at the Trump event?
	Probably putting out like a geofencing warrant request to AT&T and T-Mobile just saying, give us all the phone records of everybody that was within 500 yards of this place.
	They probably did that.
	They probably got all the phone records of everybody there.
	And, you know, you can be accused of a crime, even if you didn't commit one, just by being close to it.
	And this is how they nabbed a bunch of people at J6.
	They said, well, you're trespassing.
	And the people were like, well, what do you mean?
	There were no signs there.
	Well, the feds retroactively put a virtual fence up.
	And they said, if you cross that virtual fence in the past, then you're trespassing.
	And they charge you with trespassing.
	And they added on top of that interference with an official government action.
	And they gave people 10 years in prison.
	All of that came from your phone.
	They got the phone records.
	And they also subpoenaed the airlines and the banks.
	They got records from banks and credit card processors.
	Yep, this person bought an airline ticket to fly to D.C. And then their phone records show, yep, they crossed the invisible barrier, so therefore they're trespassing.
	They got all that off your phone.
	So if you don't want your phone to be a witness against you because you're not committing any crime, you're not violent, you're just there, you know, then Get the Connecta mobile service and also get a de-Googled phone while you're at it.
	But anyway, check it out at phone123.com and stop your phone from being a witness against you.
	And then finally, support us at healthrangerstore.com where we've got the most heavily tested, laboratory tested supplements, superfoods, and personal care products available.
	And many survival and preparedness products as well.
	Check it out.
	I mean, we have hundreds of products in the store.
	People love HealthRangerStore.com, especially if you don't like artificial fragrance, you don't like artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, artificial fillers, and other garbage that's in the foods and supplements and cosmetics and personal care products.
	We've got clean alternatives.
	Amazing toothpaste, for example.
	Amazing body soap.
	Non-aluminum based natural deodorants.
	We've got, you know, first aid gel and all kinds of things that you will really, really appreciate.
	Check it all out at healthrangerstore.com and thank you for your support.
	All right, with that said, we're going to jump into the interview with Jeffrey Prather and then today's sermon will come at the end of that.
	Enjoy and God bless you all.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and today I'm joined by one of my favorite guests, Jeffrey Prather from JeffreyBrather.com.
	And he's also been a host with us formerly on Brighteon.tv, which is now just the Brighteon.com live broadcast.
	So he has regular broadcasts and videos and a channel on Brighteon.com.
	And Jeffrey Prather is joining us today for his analysis of the shooting, the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump.
	So welcome to the show, Mr.
	Prather.
	It's always an honor to have you on, sir.
	Hey Mike, thanks for having me.
	Good to see you again.
	It's good to see you.
	We always appreciate your experience as a former working with DEA and then DIA and all your background just comes to bear here.
	I mean, you understand how governments operate or at least certain sort of security minded groups or divisions.
	So with all that experience, what's your big take right now on what actually happened on July 13th?
	Well, my biggest takeaway is there's no doubt that the government was in on it.
	It's clear.
	And I also got to say, besides being a 1811 special agent criminal investigator with the Drug Enforcement Administration for 19 years before I was fired for Fast and Furious without ever having a bad evaluation, I also did a lot of dignitary protection, and I did a lot of that later.
	I did that for foreign heads of state, I did that during DEA, and I also did that later on for the Tea Party, right before everything else, the MAGA movement got started.
	My last presidential candidate dignitary protection detail was for Santorum in Tucson.
	I was working right alongside Secret Service guys, and I've shot alongside Secret Service guys.
	I've run a lot of dignitary protection details for Joe Paio, Breitbart back in the day, Tammy Bruce, Many, many dignitaries.
	But it's very clear that this is an inside government job, and the facts show that it could not be anything else.
	All right, so I'd like you to substantiate that to the best of your ability, but let me add in one thing that we've learned recently, which is that Secret Service missed the meeting with local law enforcement the day of the event.
	Is that one of the outrageous red flags that has come to your attention?
	That's totally one of the outrageous red flags because in Secret Service, the detail you want to be on is the presidential detail or a former presidential detail or the most popular president in modern times detail.
	Just like if you're in the Air Force, you want to be a pilot.
	If you're in the Secret Service, you want to be on the presidential detail.
	And one of the basic things, and this is all laid out by a protocol, is the advanced team comes in, it liaises with everybody, it looks at everything, including all the rooftops, they develop a plan, and they have a standard plan that they set out, and they run all of that.
	They run all of that security.
	That is not delegated out because typically even large-scale police departments are not very good at dignitary protection.
	They don't understand it at all.
	So this is a red flag, clearly, that they didn't meet the meeting, that they also denied the local police the ability to have drones up.
	They pulled people to...
	Jill Biden's detail, where nobody follows her at all.
	All of those are huge, glaring red flags.
	For example, when the FBI said we're not going to present the Hillary case to the Attorney General, that was a huge red flag for anybody who's done it.
	You develop the case and you present it to the attorney.
	Most of the times, in my case, it was an assistant United States attorney, but in this case, the case against Hillary was to the United States Attorney General.
	When they said they don't present it because they don't think it's good, that's not how it works.
	You do the case and you present it and then the attorney decides if it's good.
	Anybody inside the community knows that this is a red flag and they were purposefully pulled away.
	Now, okay, that's really fascinating.
	In addition to that, it's my understanding that normally in the preparation for such an event, an advanced team would have satellite imagery.
	They would typically draw concentric circles at various distances around the principal, in this case Trump, and those concentric circles would be indicative of potential weapons ranges and distances and the types of weapons that might be effective at those distances.
	So let me ask you this.
	If this rooftop was at 150 yards or less, would that normally have been within one of the closer concentric circles to be covered and strongly considered by Secret Service protecting a former U.S. president?
	Yeah, you're exactly right.
	The standard is three concentric circles.
	It can vary with logistics and timing and terrain, but normally that circle would be within the primary detail.
	And basically, that goes off of ballistics.
	And so for basic shooting, it goes from zero to 300 yards or meters, and that's the standard military range.
	Then for three to 600 meters is medium-long range, like my Special Forces Special Purpose Rifle Would be for that and then beyond three to six that's extremely long range three to six to thousand and that would definitely be the purview of the snipers But this is clearly within their purview and clearly they would have covered every rooftop Obviously,
	Eli Crane, whom I know, a rare good former SEAL and a good congressman, said it's obvious that this was overlooked on purpose.
	This is what I used to see on the border a lot, too, with corrupt agents, is you don't have to do anything.
	You just have to not do something at a certain sequence of time, and then you get paid off or your family's okay.
	And that's what this is.
	But there's multiple of these.
	You just don't be here or don't cover this at that time.
	And the other thing you're saying is really crucial as well is I am 100% certain there is overhead imagery.
	Cheadle, when she perjured herself several times, said clearly that when she was asked about drones, she said there was overwatch.
	She didn't say there were drones, but I'm here to tell you That if the police were denied drones, the Secret Service would have had drones.
	If the Secret Service didn't have drones, the FBI had drones.
	If the FBI didn't have drones, the CIA didn't have drones.
	If the CIA didn't have drones, then NSA had birds, satellites, with the imagery analysis today is unbelievable, still classified.
	Wait a minute.
	There is overhead imagery of the whole thing, just like with Kyle Rittenhouse.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So I just want to restate what you just stated, because this is a news breaking point here.
	You're saying that somebody within either the government or the military has an overhead video that would show crooks, for example, if that's indeed who he is, crawling into place on that roof, would show how he got there, would show if anybody showed him the way, if anybody was assisting him or clearing would show if anybody showed him the way, if anybody was assisting Like somebody's got this video.
	Is that video?
	Multiple videos.
	Multiple videos.
	I think there's multiple videos of it.
	But certainly, I have no doubt.
	But again, you can go back to Cheadle's testimony, and she affirms when she's asked about drones, she doesn't say drones, but she says Overwatch, which is another term, because there's different levels of Overwatch to do that.
	But the satellite imagery alone is incredible.
	But, you know, everybody's seen, I mean, it used to be Falcon View in my day, but now, you know, that's kind of Google Earth.
	But the drones, you saw everybody marked with the Rittenhouse drone, and then they had the blurred copy of it, and then they came out with the real copy.
	There's no doubt.
	Plus, they're talking about, oh yeah, we had intelligence that the Iranians were going to try and assassinate Trump, which is ridiculous, of course.
	But the reason they did that is so that they could classify it.
	As for an intelligence.
	And that's what they do with everything.
	That's what they do with Mar-a-Lago.
	That's their big excuse for everything.
	And so there's a caveat called no...
	So there's three classifications, confidential secret and top secret.
	Then there's caveats.
	One of the caveats is no foreign, no foreign intelligence or ORCON. The CIA likes to use it a lot, originated or controlled.
	But the reason that came out real quick, the Iranian link came out and you don't hear anything else about it because now it's all classified.
	So if somebody were to file a FOIA request for the videos, they would just say denied because it involves Iran.
	Not only that, but it's the sources and methodology of the technology of the drones and the satellites is so good.
	That's always been highly classified.
	That's top secret keyword stuff.
	That's always been highly classified.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Next question I have for you then is about comms and the communication between Secret Service and local law enforcement, because it appears that Secret Service was not covering that building, I think it's American Glass Research.
	Where Crooks was on the roof, but local law enforcement was covering that building.
	And now we've seen videos that are time-aligned that show police were surrounding that building and looking up at the roof for many, many minutes before the shooting began.
	So would it be normal, Jeffrey, for local law enforcement to have a shared comms frequency with Secret Service and to have some kind of a red alert word or like a pull-em-off-the-stage warning Word.
	Is that a normal procedure?
	Yes, of course that is.
	Of course.
	And in fact, there were police in that building.
	If you've seen the film, I'm sure you have.
	There were police upstairs.
	They had stuff on the whiteboard.
	You could just look out the window.
	And the only conclusion is that they facilitated everything from that spot.
	That's the only thing I can conclude.
	Because remember, there's a CAT team.
	There's a counter-assassination Secret Service guys.
	They come out real fast.
	Those are the guys totally kitted out in black and cami.
	They show up, right?
	So where did they come from?
	You've got to have a base of operations for those guys to put on their plates, put on their stuff and everything.
	Now, usually it's a vehicle.
	The Beast has at least six Secret Service vehicles following it all the time.
	But remember, this is the ex-president that they had just put a bill through to try and remove Secret Service protection from him to kill him.
	But the point is that all of these elements, they would have to have a Ford operational base, a FOB, to operate out of.
	And that wasn't it.
	But there were props from there.
	And I speculate that they abandoned that so that whomever they wanted could come in and do what they wanted to do.
	You know, most likely it's Yurik on the roof.
	I don't even think Crooks fired a shot.
	Well, that was one of my next questions, yeah.
	What do you think Crooks' role was in this?
	Or what do you think he thought he was doing?
	I think it was something like the, well, we all know the FBI takes some hapless Muslim kid in America and says, are you mad at the great Satan?
	Yeah.
	Do you want to blow something up?
	Well, maybe.
	You got any explosives?
	No.
	Well, here's some explosives.
	You got a target?
	No.
	Well, here's a target.
	And they run the whole thing.
	In my day, that was called entrapment.
	If I was going to do a reverse with you, if I was going to sell you Coke, I actually had to sell you cocaine.
	And then I had to take it off.
	When you drove away, I'd have DPS or a marked unit stop you and say, hey, you know, you were weaving your taillights out.
	By the way, I'm not going to ticket you, but my canine's been sitting in the car all day.
	He's kind of bored.
	You don't have any drugs or money on you or guns.
	And you're like, no.
	And I'm like, well, you don't mind if I run my canine, do you?
	And you're like, well, no.
	And my canine hits.
	I take your dope.
	You get out because it's a local charge, but I'm building my federal case against you, and you never know that it's me sitting two miles back in my unmarked G-Ride.
	When I go to trial, then I pull out and say, yeah, I sold Mr.
	Adams' cocaine one kilo, two kilos, and three kilos on these dates.
	I tested it.
	I had it sent to the San Diego DEA lab and tested it, and sure enough, it's 95% pure.
	Because otherwise, if I don't take that dope off, then your sharp defense lawyer would say, well, Special Agent Prather, you sold Mr.
	Adams cocaine.
	What happened to it?
	I'm like, well, I don't know.
	He goes, well, you're saying he's a drug dealer.
	Well, yeah.
	Well, you sold him drugs, and he sold—what's the difference?
	And the answer then is, well, nothing.
	So it's got to be walled off.
	It's got to go into evidence somehow.
	So the chain of evidence of custody there is totally broken in this whole thing.
	Nobody's taking responsibility, and it should be a very clear chain of security of the president from the presidential detail, which now I'm hearing is an even all-secret service, HSI. Right, but let's go back to the evidence that you were talking about because two huge questions have come to my mind about,
	number one, when we do see body cam footage that's been released by Senator Grassley that's from the local Butler law enforcement officers, their body cam footage shows that by the time they get to the roof, the rifle is about seven feet away from Crook's.
	And yet, he was shot dead, apparently, with an instant kill shot.
	There's a trail of blood.
	His eyeglasses are blown off right beneath where his head was.
	But the rifle's seven feet away.
	One question for you, how did the rifle get there?
	And then secondly...
	At one point, there's a video showing brass.
	There's eight pieces of brass, but they're on both sides of the roof, both pitches, the north and south side, which seems odd if you know the way brass flies out of a rifle.
	Typically, it's the same direction.
	And then whoever cleared the brass off the roof clearly did not indicate where the brass was found.
	So it's like, wait a minute, basic crime scene protocols don't seem to have been followed here at all.
	What are you thinking about that?
	Well, that's the FBI role now is, you know, in Waco, what did they do after they first filled it with CS and then fired into it with tracers, which on a local level, a cop hits you with CS and then he tasers you and lights you up on fire.
	The FBI purposely burned up Waco.
	And I was actually in DEA Firearm School at Quantico at the FBI Academy when that was going on.
	And what they do afterwards, they bulldoze the remains, the evidence into the fire.
	And in this case, They didn't mark the brass.
	How many times have you seen crime scenes where the little yellow markers, or if you don't have those, you put paper cups out there where the brass casings are?
	In this case, I think that photo of them washing the roof off is correct as well.
	But that bespeaks that there was somebody else up there, Yurik maybe, who's an Antifa guy from Arizona.
	Antifa.com still goes to WhiteHouse.gov.
	Or somebody already came up and kicked the weapon away from him as well.
	But I'm not sure that any of the shots even came from the roof.
	Well, I guess that's not true.
	I'd have to say the shot that missed his ear came from the roof.
	But the other shots are, I think, from the water tower, and we've seen some fishy video of that.
	But the clear thing is, if you've looked at the reenactments of Oswald, or even the Mark Wahlberg shooter movie, It's a setup.
	It's clearly a setup.
	And so I think he was some kind of spotter.
	Hey, you're doing a cool secret operation for the government or something.
	We've seen the cell phone ping advertisements go to near his house, up to the FBI offices, up to the Secret Service offices.
	That would have established their credibility that they were for real.
	You can't tell anybody about this, but we want you to do this.
	And, you know, young guys are all and I was like that, too.
	Oh, wow.
	You know, I want to do intelligence stuff.
	I tried out for the FBI and CIA and I thought I wasn't good enough.
	Now I realize I was too good for them.
	So you think that he believed that he was part of either a training exercise or a security audit of some sort and that he thought he was working with security or law enforcement potentially?
	Yeah, definitely.
	I think it was developed because Eli said something really smart because he's a smart guy.
	He's a rare, good ex-seal guy.
	Seal's got a lot of problems.
	God bless him.
	And he's a good congressman.
	And I know him personally.
	And he said, what happened to the silverware in the crook's home?
	It was all gone.
	Oh, yeah.
	Right.
	Well, most people don't know this, but you can time date fingerprints off of silverware.
	And so I imagine that the case officer, the handler, the guy who was running him, you know, had sat down in there with him and coaxed him and coached him and developed all of this.
	And that's why the silverware was gone, I think.
	Yeah, didn't Eli say that it had been almost medically sterilized?
	DNA. They were also cleaning up DNA. Right.
	So that's not normal behavior for a guy who's trying to kill the president.
	Why would he be cleaning DNA out of his own kitchen?
	Yeah.
	And why would the silverware be gone?
	Right.
	And also, what about these...
	We keep hearing reports of the so-called improvised explosives that were said to have been found in his trunk, and that could mean almost anything.
	What do you think?
	Yeah.
	I think that the FBI guys are obsessed with bombs.
	Remember the DNC headquarters pipe bomb where everybody's just nonchalantly walking around?
	And then you see the blurry video where DC is under all kinds of surveillance.
	I just think they can't resist We'll throw in a bomb, too.
	It's just absurd.
	But it, again, allows it to be classified as terrorism, which then allows it to take on a classification and be covered up.
	That's what I think.
	Yeah, isn't it interesting that we haven't seen any photos of this so-called improvised explosive device, nor any real descriptions of what it could be.
	I mean, it could be a string of firecrackers and some duct tape, you know?
	Yeah, plus this kid has got a, you know...
	He's an amazing skill set.
	He's shooting his pistol, he's shooting his rifle, he knows how to make bombs, he knows how to climb buildings, he's got encrypted phones overseas.
	That really doesn't help the case for him not being with the government.
	Where I learned those skills was with the government.
	Yeah, unless he's some kind of...
	Well, he's the young James Bond savant, apparently.
	He can figure it all out.
	But let's talk about the rounds that were fired.
	We can hear on audio, and I've done quite a bit of audio analysis with multiple tracks, We can hear at first there's three shots, and then there's a pause of about 2.6 seconds, and then there are five rounds that appear to be from a semi-automatic rifle in fairly rapid succession, about less than.2 seconds between each of those five rounds, so that's pretty typical for semi-auto.
	And then fairly quickly after that, there's one shot that we believe is from Pennsylvania law enforcement, And then, 16 seconds after the first shot was fired, then there's round number 10, which we believe is the counter-sniper round from the Secret Service team that ultimately killed Crooks.
	So I have so many questions about this for you.
	First question is, why would it take 16 seconds for a counter-sniper team that is already aware of a threat to actually take the shot?
	There is no good explanation for that.
	I was involved with several third parties who were saying they were representing Jonathan Willis.
	I initially said Willis was fake because he said I'm the officer and I said Secret Service are agents, but there are uniformed officers.
	Then I was contacted I just put that correction out on my show earlier today, so I'm unsure about that, but the rules of engagement for somebody like that There's no reason for any delay at all.
	And, you know, Cheadle's just a total DEI incompetent.
	You can't go with what she says about sloped roofs or he's only a threat six seconds before.
	They would have swarmed him very clearly.
	The sniper would have been on him, just like you see in all the movies.
	This sniper would be following him the whole time.
	But let me ask you specifically, Jeffrey, I'm sorry to interrupt, but because you've worked with these people, you've trained with these types of people, you understand the skill set.
	If an accomplished Secret Service counter-sniper with good glass who is monitoring a threat sees a rifle emerge, let's say, and makes the decision to take the shot, how many seconds does it take for him to make that shot, typically?
	Well, from send to hit, it depends upon the distance, but for that little distance...
	That flight time is like.15 seconds.
	Yeah, it's nothing.
	But the point here is...
	No, but I mean, the decision to shoot...
	I mean, how long does it take him to pull the trigger?
	So what would be happening normally is his spotter, who is also a sniper, and they're just rotating for eye fatigue in the scope and maybe to get a glass of water or something, is watching.
	And then when he's coming up, by the time he's coming up on the roof or coming out the window or whatever with a rifle, the spotter's like, he's got a gun, and then the sniper would be on him the whole time.
	This diaper would just be waiting.
	And there would be a total conversation going back and forth.
	I mean, it's not secret.
	Everybody's seen this in the movies now.
	If you've seen 15 Minutes of War, the Great Gigan scene where they kill the five terrorists simultaneously in the bus in Africa, their first mission, which was awesome.
	Yes, but...
	No, go ahead.
	Well, I'm sorry, Jeffrey, but it's still not clear to me because my understanding is that the rules of engagement for a Secret Service counter-sniper team is that if you see a rifle, especially from a suspicious person on a rooftop, you don't have to have permission to take the shot.
	No, you're totally correct.
	You engage.
	That's it.
	There's no reason.
	There's no reason to have waited.
	Okay, so what I'm trying to get at is that engagement gap from when that counter-sniper man...
	When he sees it and says, that's a threat, I'm going to take him out, from that moment to the time that he pulls the trigger, what's reasonable for that?
	Two seconds?
	Three seconds?
	I mean, what are we talking here?
	One second.
	One second.
	And he should have never got that shot off.
	The ROE... You mean Crooks?
	Crooks never should have got shots off.
	Yeah.
	Or whoever that is.
	Yeah, or whoever.
	No shots.
	That's the whole...
	That's a big Secret Service fail.
	And I'm not...
	I'm not bad-mouthing them.
	They'll say that themselves.
	If their sniper gets a shot off, they've failed.
	Because counter fire has never really been done before.
	SEAL Team 6 did it with Karzai.
	They killed an innocent in close protection back in Afghanistan.
	But counter fire is very low on the priority of doing anything.
	So the sniper was very late.
	And so that's either incompetence, which you can't be a sniper and be incompetent.
	or it is negligence and it is purposeful.
	And in this instance, I think it was purposeful.
	And so now that the identity of Willis has been called into question, where he said, I was told not to fire, and now that may not be true, that may have been dangled out there by the deep state intelligence community to muddy the waters. that may have been dangled out there by the deep But he should never have gotten a shot off.
	And there's no reason why.
	And climbing the roof like that, there's no reason why he should have been able to.
	Right.
	That's not a hard shot for a sniper.
	So here's a possibility.
	Is it possible that Crooks never fired from that roof?
	Is it possible that the Secret Service counter-sniper never saw a rifle emerge because shots were emerging from somewhere else, perhaps from inside a room on the second floor or from the water tower, as you said, and thus that might have delayed the counter-sniper round and thus that might have delayed the counter-sniper round because he never saw the rifle.
	Because Crook's rifle may not have ever made it over the ledge to where you could see it.
	Is that a possibility?
	That could be.
	There could be a second shooter.
	So normally, just like there's a spotter and sniper on that side, there could be a spotter and sniper on the other side.
	That may be who got away as well.
	Or that may be, just like you're saying...
	Or again, somebody may have kicked the rifle away.
	But one thing I will say for sure, so he was shot, it looks like he was shot through the mouth.
	And so normally when you're shooting for a one-shot stop, CNS headshot, the line goes from your nose around to your ears, around to the back of your skull.
	You don't go for the eyes, skull is thick.
	You want to go where there's already a hole, there's already holes here.
	And so this is where you go.
	But if you're laying flat down, then your mouth is now aligned with your spine.
	So if you're on your nose, you're a little bit above your back, Where if you go down to the mouth, now it's going through your mouth.
	There's already a bigger hole there, hitting the spine, hitting all the vital organs.
	It's actually a better shot because it's going deeper.
	You're getting more penetration, which is probably why the teeth are missing.
	Right, right.
	That was an instant lights-out shot, but we still don't know whether that shot was designed to eliminate the Patsy or to stop an active shooter.
	But that shot, as a CNS shot, wouldn't throw the rifle or anything.
	That guy would just drop.
	Exactly.
	It wouldn't throw the rifle.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	So I've seen the helicopter footage that I believe was taken before any law enforcement got onto the roof.
	And that footage shows the rifle already seven feet away.
	Now, it's hard to place the timing of that shot, but there's nobody standing on the roof when that helicopter footage is taken.
	And as we know, very quickly, there were like seven or eight guys on the roof.
	And where was the helicopter footage before?
	So, again, I will reiterate, I am 100% certain there is aerial surveillance footage.
	Hilo, drone, larger drones, satellite, distant image.
	So there may have been another guy.
	And so that may be, now that we're, now I'm speculating now, but if you look at Willis, whoever that sniper is, whether he's a local ESU or a Secret Service counter sniper, whoever he is, he comes off his weld to look. he comes off his weld to look.
	I saw that.
	Yeah.
	And that's weird for anybody who knows what they're doing.
	That was really weird, yeah.
	Because you want your cheek weld and you want your nose weld to stay so that you can track them.
	And if you're tracking somebody, they're moving a little bit, you want to stay with them.
	So when you come off, it's to look at a wider field.
	That's what your spotter is there for.
	So if there was a second guy...
	Then he might not have been focused on him because that guy might have been a little further away or not in the view or something.
	I'm speculating now, but I will say it's very weird for him to come off his weld like that.
	I saw that too and I had the same question because it looked like he also moved the axis of his rifle as he resets.
	There's a pipe right there, yeah, and the rifle drops down.
	So what I think that was is going back to the 1 to 300, 300 to 6, 6 to 1,000 is I think he was looking out further, which he should have been.
	I think he should have been covering 6 to 1,000.
	And I think that when you see the rifle drop, he's coming in from the 6 into the 3 area.
	to find what's going on.
	That's really interesting that you say that because, well, let me go to this question.
	It's related.
	Where do you think the first eight shots or the group of three and then the group of five, where do you suppose those came from?
	And is it all the same place or two different places or what, what's your best take based on current data?
	Well, I know you're doing great audio work and several other people are, and I'm not doing that, but I can tell you from working with snipers and I, I, I hired snipers at warrior school.
	They were Ranger Regimental snipers who supported Delta on the perimeters, and they've done a lot of shooting and a lot of sniping.
	And based upon some of the killing of the innocent guy and the wounds, you would never have one guy at one angle.
	You'd have two or three angles, just like with the Kennedy assassination.
	So I always said there was at least two, maybe three, and now people are talking about four.
	But the obvious place is the water tower.
	That's the obvious place for fire.
	Now we've seen that blurry video with the figure, and then there's a wood line right behind there.
	It's ideal.
	Yeah, absolutely it is.
	And let me add that in terms of the audio analysis, and I've been in touch with Dr.
	Chris Martinson, who has gone even deeper than I did, but it's very clear to me that the first five rounds, so it's the group of three, then a pause, and then a group of...
	But if I'm taking rounds one, two, three, four, and five, all those five rounds have a very clear snap, boom, audio signature.
	But after that, it becomes very convoluted on many different recordings.
	But for the first five rounds, I'm incredibly certain that they all came from the range of about 150 yards.
	But rounds six, seven, and eight could absolutely be from a farther distance.
	And I agree with you.
	So I'm not an audio expert like you guys are, but I'm a tactical expert.
	And I'm telling you, and I'm used to covert operations.
	And so you want a dangle, which is the initial rounds.
	Are to draw everybody's attention, and then the next rounds, coming from a different angle, are the real rounds.
	And if you look at, you know, my friend Mike Jan says, false flags are not the exception, they're the norm.
	And, you know, we've seen the Kennedy tapes now where there's the driver who turns around with a gun, it looks like there.
	And I heard that years ago from intelligence sources before I ever saw that tape.
	They want us to focus on crooks.
	They keep talking about crooks.
	And so the one thing I can say then, it's not crooks.
	And to look elsewhere.
	And there's at least two shooting teams, maybe three.
	There's a couple other interesting things about that that a lot of people haven't covered.
	And you can ask any sniper about, and I started out in PSYOPs in SOCOM, but snipers are PSYOPers.
	And the PSYOP value of a sniper is incredible.
	The force multiplication is like 100 to 1.
	You hit one guy and you pin down a battalion.
	So, the Kennedy assassination proved that.
	The message with the Kennedy assassination to everybody else is step in line or you're next.
	And they did.
	But it works the opposite way.
	Tracers, like tracers, they work both ways.
	Then it's like, oh, they're not invincible.
	They're not giants.
	They're not geniuses.
	They're just failures with father wounds.
	They miss.
	We can live through this.
	The reverse PSYOP value of what happened at the Butler-Trump assassination attempt is devastating to the deep state.
	It may not be surrendering, but it's certainly staggering.
	And then with the Olympics, they're staggering again.
	Okay, so a question that emerges from that, and thank you for that explanation.
	That's really valuable insight.
	But if additional rounds were incoming, let's say rounds like 6, 7, and 8, let's just suppose as a thought experiment that those are incoming rounds from really highly trained professional snipers that have time to get their heart rate down and to take a shot or multiple shots.
	At that moment, when those shots came in, Trump was down and partially covered by Secret Service on the stage.
	One thing that strikes me as so odd about this, Jeffrey, and maybe you have an explanation, is how did none of the Secret Service agents that we know of take hits in those additional rounds?
	What's the story?
	That's interesting, isn't it?
	Because, again, I worked with some old Secret Service guys, and then you would tell me stories about Reagan and Bush, and everybody loves Reagan, by the way.
	He was a great guy.
	But, you know, Nancy Reagan just loved the Secret Service agent that got shot for protecting Reagan.
	But...
	I'm hearing that those are HSI, and I've never even worked with an HSI 1811.
	They didn't even exist in my day really much, as far as I know.
	But their protection skills were really bad.
	They were really slow.
	The one female was not big enough to cover him, and then somebody drops down to get a hat and get his shoes, and he's like, well, we kind of decided to give him his moment because he didn't want to get off stage.
	What?
	The principal gets no choice at that point.
	Exactly.
	The principal is going one way or another at that point for professionals.
	And it's all planned out.
	I've done this backstage a million times.
	I'm like, if something happens, I'm coming up the stage.
	You're going out the back.
	We're going to this room.
	This is our Alamo until we get you out of here, just so you know.
	And they're always like, okay, yeah, they're fine with that.
	But so...
	I'm not saying they knew everything, but I'm saying their behavior looks like they were in on it as well.
	Well, let me add to that, because it looks like the HSI agents that you're talking about, which is, I think, Homeland Security Investigations, right?
	A lot of those agents were trying to make themselves small instead of making themselves big, right?
	Their job is to make themselves big, isn't it?
	To cover.
	They weren't big enough in the right ways.
	I know, but they were ducking and covering.
	Not tall.
	Yeah.
	Some of them.
	And if you look at...
	If you look at...
	Trump's old details, those were hard guys.
	And I've shot with guys and I've done fight training with those guys.
	They can shoot and they can fight.
	In fact, my HMAC guys, we emulate a position where I teach everybody to have their hands here so that you can go for your gun or you can reach out and get hands on somebody.
	And that was not the standard.
	So before Trump got elected, he had an NYPD and former naval officer, Keith Schiller in charge of his detail.
	He had come off of the New York counterterrorism team.
	That's an interesting thing because after 9-11, the federal government comes in and goes, oh, another intelligence failure.
	Hey, New York, let me set up a fusion center.
	New York went, no thanks.
	We'll set up our own.
	I've been into a lot of JTF centers and worked on those.
	New York's is very secure.
	He was part of that.
	And when he took on the Trump detail, it was only until the Tier 1 Secret Service guys took over is when he faded out.
	He stayed around for a while, and he only left when they started going after Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, and I think he actually peeled off that detail to build the evidence for those details.
	For those crimes.
	But this was not the normal team.
	And of course, they got to rotate.
	You got to have days off.
	You got to be able to take your kid to the dentist and stuff.
	So it's not just one group of Six guys or something.
	There's a lot of them that rotate and there's schedules that got to be figured out.
	But that's the other thing is the schedule was clearly manipulated.
	They pulled them all off to go to Joe Biden for the most popular president of modern time.
	And that's a big, for somebody on the inside, it's very obvious if you look at the scheduling of who's there.
	Another thing is it was right before the nomination.
	Right before.
	Because at the nomination, he automatically gets more Secret Service security.
	So the insider indications of the proximity, of the detail, and of right before the nomination, those are all high-level insider points that higher-ups figured out.
	So there's one more point that I want to ask you about, which is the CrowdStrike IT apocalypse that happened just a few days after that.
	Many people, including myself, suspect that the timing of that was designed to distract from the outpouring of support, pro-Trump support, that he miraculously survived this and he had the presence of mind to say, you know, fight for America, fight, fight, fight.
	Do you have any inclination to believe that perhaps a rogue employee or a hijacking inside CrowdStrike?
	I'm not I'm not saying the company itself intended for this to happen.
	But is it possible that somebody could have exploited the CrowdStrike infrastructure to bring on the largest IT collapse in the known history of basically technology on our planet?
	No, I don't think that was an accident.
	Of course, CrowdStrike was involved in the whole Hillary thing, and they said it was the Russians.
	As far as I know, last time I checked, they never even signed that final report.
	It was a draft report that the FBI accepted.
	They never turned over the servers as well.
	There's a former admiral that went over to CrowdStrike, but no, I think that's all part of it.
	But to go back just a little bit to the shooters and why they're missing and why all this is happening is whether you're a raid guy, a tactics guy, a firearms guy like me, or you're an undercover guy, or you're a disguise guy, or you're a cyber guy, you know, you develop an expertise and it's an art and it takes a lot of time to develop.
	But if you're corrupt, You know, you don't really have to develop an expertise because you can cover your tracks.
	And so something I always say is their corruption makes them incompetent.
	And with the assassination, why they missed, well, the earshot is Divine Providence, but the other shots show that it was, I think, a reactive, hurried, I think when you isolate elements,
	when you want to do a covert operation, A covert operation is much more difficult to do than a clandestine operation because you want to have all of the elements isolated and sterilized so there's no blowback to where it comes from.
	Therefore, they can't know each other.
	Therefore, different people are running different parts.
	For example, crooks, HSI team, the sniper on the water tower that I'm speculating.
	And that's a lot of moving pieces.
	It starts to look like running an aircraft carrier.
	Well, did you hear in the police body cam footage, I believe file number three released by Senator Grassley, you can hear on the police radio somebody asking, have you secured the water tower?
	It's very clear.
	It's around, I think, minute 20 or 22, something like that.
	I covered it in a podcast.
	So even local police were considering the water tower to be a potential threat.
	All of the high points would have been considered and marked by any sniper, whether it's police or Secret Service.
	Any sniper would just go there, there, there and there.
	It's obvious to them.
	But somebody had to be told, no, we've got that, or no, we want that open to draw him in, or no, we've got a plan for that.
	Again, that's the opposite of saying just don't be here at this time.
	Again, I use the analogy of customs at the border.
	Lane 3 on Wednesday from 1 to 2 p.m., just don't stop a car and you'll get $10,000 and your family will be okay.
	It's just not doing something.
	Whether they're ordered to do it, they're extorted to do it, or they're seduced to do it, or bribed to do it.
	But there's a lot of elements in that.
	And I think that's why the water tower sniper, which I think the video, you've seen the video footage.
	Yes, I have.
	I think that guy was hurried.
	And the real professionals are not doing this for the money.
	It's way too hard and difficult a life.
	Yeah, they're doing it for the adventure.
	Well, some of them are adrenaline junkies.
	The best of them are doing it because they are willing to fight, kill, and die for their country.
	But I think the Water Tower guy was sloppy.
	That's all.
	Okay, well...
	Jeffrey, your analysis has been really amazing.
	I hope that the new, you know, Representative Crane, he and some other colleagues, I believe Representative Mills, are forming an independent investigation.
	I hope they will ask you to testify, by the way.
	No, seriously, I mean, to offer your expertise.
	But in any case, I want to say that what you've offered us here today has been extremely valuable.
	Give our audience about your website, your shows, and how they can find you and follow your work.
	You can find me at jeffreyprather.com and my shows are live Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1pm Central Time.
	I'm sorry, yeah, 1pm Central Time, yeah.
	Okay, and you're broadcasting on multiple platforms too?
	Oh yeah, we're on Rumble and Rumble Brighttown.
	Oh, not on Brighttown anymore.
	Cloud Hub.
	You can broadcast live on Brighttown.com.
	I'm trying to do that.
	I'm trying to work through the tech to do that.
	I want to get back on there.
	Yeah.
	We'll help you make that happen.
	Yeah, because you can simulcast with, like, that's what I do.
	I simulcast to Rumble, Twitter, and Brighton at the same time.
	But we'll have our guys reach out to you and help you make that happen.
	I'm sorry to interrupt.
	No, no, not at all.
	No, thanks for having me.
	Absolutely.
	Again, your analysis has been truly invaluable and I just want to thank you for all that you're doing and stay on the case.
	I think that between you and I and Dr.
	Martinson and many of the others who are involved in this and all the grassroots citizens that are uploading videos and posting audio and photos, I think we're going to figure this out well before the official investigations committee does.
	The official, it'll never, there'll be no conclusion.
	The mistake they made on 9-11 was they gave a rallying point for the Twin Towers, and they're not going to make that mistake again.
	Everything will just kind of fade.
	They'll never conclude anything.
	They've learned from their mistakes, too.
	True.
	But, you know, Trump says they're not after me, they're after you.
	I'm just in the way.
	And now what that means is, hey, they can't get me, so they can't stop me, so they can't stop you.
	And that's really the truth.
	Yeah, powerful.
	Very powerful.
	All right, well, thank you, Jeffrey.
	It's an honor to have you on, sir.
	Appreciate your work.
	Thanks for having me.
	All right.
	Take care.
	God bless.
	God bless.
	And thank all of you for watching here.
	Of course, this has been Brightown.com, an interview with Jeffrey Prather.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brightown.
	Be sure to visit Jeffrey's website at JeffreyPrather.com, and that's spelled J-E-F-F-R-E-Y, Prather.com.
	You'll enjoy his content, and thank you for watching today.
	Share this video everywhere, and God bless you all.
	Take care.
	I am so thrilled to be able to bring you this sermon today.
	Thank you for joining me.
	This is Mike Adams, and today we're going to break the spell, the sorcerer's spell, over economics, money, finance, what are assets, what is debt, and so on, because this is one of many sermons I'll be sharing with you about what I call God's economy. because this is one of many sermons I'll be sharing And God's economy is very different from man's economy.
	And when I say man, I mean mankind, the synthetic world created by man, often in contradiction to the principles of God.
	For example, one of the most powerful realizations that we can come to is understanding that man's economy is based on scarcity of resources, and it's based on who loses versus who wins.
	And So one person takes resources, another person loses those resources.
	Scarcity is built into the system and you're taught that you can never have enough and you can spend your entire life trying to accumulate or achieve instruments that are called assets but are really actually representations of debt.
	Whereas in God's economy, it's based on limitless abundance rather than artificial scarcity.
	And by limitless abundance, let me give you an example.
	If you want to create medicine...
	And you want to create it for virtually free.
	What can you do?
	Well, one simple thing is you can sprout seeds.
	You can sprout broccoli seeds, for example.
	And broccoli seeds will, by the miracles of Mother Nature granted by God, they will synthesize a medicinal molecule called sulforaphane, which is anti-cancer.
	It's neuroprotective.
	It's cardioprotective.
	It's one of the most amazing nutrients found in foods and in sprouts.
	And God gives it to you for free.
	And God gives it in unlimited abundance.
	It's not like there is a deposit of sulforaphane somewhere in the world that you have to mine out of the ground, and countries are fighting over their territory for the sulforaphane mines, and there's wars over the access to the sulforaphane mines, and then there's legal battles involved, and who owns the land Of the sulforaphane mines.
	No.
	What God says is, you can all have sulforaphane.
	All you have to do is add water to seeds.
	And we, Mother Nature and God, we will create it for you in unlimited quantities.
	As much as you want, as often as you want, you will have unlimited abundance.
	You can grow your own medicine.
	Or, I mean, you can acquire it.
	You can also Purchase it at a grocery store if you want to purchase broccoli or you can purchase broccoli sprouts or you can purchase superfoods or supplements with broccoli sprouts.
	I mean, yes, but you can also grow it for free.
	So that's just one example.
	But I'm here to tell you that most of the education or the programming that we have been subjected to our entire lives, especially those of you Who have been in business or business schools, you have an MBA or you have an accounting degree, you have been subjected to an artificial terminology, an artificial reality where you think dollars are assets.
	But what we know, those of us who are rooted in truth and righteousness, we know that dollars are created as debt instruments.
	The moment any dollar is created, well it's created by the Federal Reserve, essentially, and then loaned to the Treasury in exchange for IOUs.
	In other words, dollars are debt from the moment they are created.
	The Treasury of the United States government owes those dollars to a private globalist banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve.
	It is created in debt.
	And then when you acquire dollars, and you think, oh, I'm building assets, and you deposit dollars in the bank, and you check your bank account, log in, and you look at the numbers on the screen, whoopee, I've got more dollars!
	Dollars are rolling in, and you think you're rich.
	No.
	All those dollars represent debt.
	That's no wealth at all.
	And this brings us to Proverbs chapter 10.
	Verse 22, the wisdom of King Solomon, who says, And that's actually the only verse I need to cite today.
	The blessing of the Lord makes one rich.
	Or you could say in plural, the blessings of the Lord, because there are many, many blessings.
	But one of them is to simply have the favor of the Lord.
	And that is earned through action.
	It's earned through integrity.
	It's earned through many, many ways.
	Many of them are talked about in Proverbs.
	But one of those is giving to others and not being someone who blocks wealth or material goods, but rather someone who distributes them and helps others in need and becomes a conduit of the movement of resources through your hands into the hands of others who are aided by that effort.
	And I've talked about that before a little bit in The previous sermon, by the way.
	And I will talk about that again.
	But understand, most importantly, what man's economy defines as assets are not assets in the eyes of the Lord.
	You can acquire all kinds of dollars and you can acquire all kinds of material goods that you have purchased with those dollars, which are debt instruments.
	And then you can even leverage those dollars and you can make a down payment on something where you have more debt.
	Like a car.
	So you walk in with debt instruments, dollars, to make a down payment, to have even more debt, to make even more payments on a car that's losing value from the moment that you, quote, purchase it.
	And all you've done here is you've engaged in man's economy of a debt rat race.
	And you have done nothing good in the eyes of the Lord in those transactions.
	Now, if you were to stop and assist somebody who needed help, somebody's got a flat tire on the side of the road, and if you can safely stop and help them...
	Or one time I had...
	There was a truck, like a low-rider white pickup truck full of Mexican guys who were...
	I saw them at a gas station right next to an air pump, and they had a flat tire...
	And the air pump clearly didn't work, so I got out of my vehicle and I told him, do you need some help?
	I've got an air pump because I carry a big battery-powered inflation pump with me in my vehicle at all times.
	And I think I said in Espanol, necesita ayuda.
	And they were really, really shocked and surprised.
	Like, here's this kind of cowboy-looking white guy asking us if we need help.
	Like, in their world, that has perhaps not happened very frequently.
	I don't know.
	And they said, si, si.
	And so I brought over the pump.
	How do you say that in Spanish?
	La bomba aire, the air pump.
	For the car tires.
	I didn't remember how to say car tires.
	I haven't used Spanish enough recently.
	But I brought it over and connected the pump.
	And wouldn't you know it, it did not work.
	It did not work because that tire in their truck had a valve stem problem.
	And so we did not get their tire inflated.
	However, however...
	The intention was to help these people get their tire inflated and get them back on the road.
	And they saw the intention.
	And so something happened there Even though their tire was not inflated, relations between, you know, a white guy like myself, a white Texan, well, technically I'm Afro-Irish Native American, but I look white.
	So, you know, a white Texan, the relations with Spanish-speaking Hispanic people, that relationship...
	Got inflated or improved, even though the tire did not get inflated.
	So, you know, through God's ways, sometimes you are fixing a problem that's different from the one that you see right in front of you.
	You know, on that day, I'm sure those young men went home to their families or their wives and said, you know, I got this crazy story.
	This white guy just stopped and wanted to help us.
	And they're like, no way.
	You know, so who knows?
	But that's the point.
	Now, that earns you God's favor.
	That is currency in the eyes of God.
	But just buying a new truck and using instruments of debt in order to acquire material wealth, that earns you nothing in God's eyes.
	Now, this kind of transactional sorcery gets even crazier when you think about purchasing toxic pharmaceutical medicines using dollar...
	It's not real money because it doesn't hold value.
	It's counterfeit because the government is printing it constantly.
	Did you know that the United States of America right now has just crossed the threshold of $35 trillion in national debt?
	And if you include the unfunded liabilities that it owes to the people over time, that number becomes nearly $200 trillion, completely unpayable, will never be paid, which means the currency will eventually collapse.
	It means this whole debt-based system or man's economy is an economy rooted in fraud and it is an economy that will end in catastrophic collapse.
	But even before the collapse, a lot of people, they want to go to a pharmacy and purchase toxic prescription medications that harm them.
	And I'm not saying that all medications harm everybody all the time.
	I understand the need for insulin for those who are in advanced stage diabetes, for example.
	Or I understand the need for painkillers among veterans, for example, who've been wounded in war.
	Yes, there are cases where prescription medications serve a purpose.
	And there are also off-label medications such as ivermectin that I endorse and I routinely use myself because they're so effective.
	And by the way, ivermectin came from soil microbes.
	So the actual original invention of ivermectin is an expression of God's creation.
	It came from nature, not from man.
	And that's also a big difference.
	A lot of the synthetic man-made pharmaceuticals are incredibly toxic, but sometimes the pharmaceutical industry will copy or steal a molecule from nature, like they did with ivermectin, and then they will claim that it's a prescription medication that they invented, but actually God invented it.
	And that's one of the reasons ivermectin is so safe and so effective, because it actually came from nature.
	But anyway, the typical person today, they go to the pharmacy, and they trade debt-based dollars for poison-based medicines.
	Think about how crazy that is.
	You drive up to a pharmacy, like, here, I'll trade you debt instruments for your poison instruments, and then I'll swallow the poison and get sicker.
	Because that's what happens to most people who take most of the pharmaceuticals.
	They get worse.
	If you take diabetes drugs, it doesn't solve diabetes.
	You have to stay on those drugs, and it has side effects.
	Or if you take cancer or chemotherapy, it's killing you.
	Muscles wasting away, hair falling out, losing weight, nauseated constantly.
	I have no energy.
	It's because it's poison.
	This is not a mystery.
	It's poison.
	So people will spend debt instruments to buy poison.
	Whereas if you shift over to God's economy and you use the example of, let's say, growing medicinal herbs or medicinal foods yourself, then all you have to expend is time and effort.
	And in return, you don't get poisons, you get blessings.
	The blessings of God that's mentioned in Proverbs 10.
	The blessings of God.
	And you can get them in unlimited quantities as long as you're willing to put in whatever required effort to plant them, to grow them, to harvest them, to cultivate.
	But you don't have to pay a royalty to God for the molecule that's in the food.
	For example, if you grow red grapes, Red grapes contain an amazing molecule called resveratrol.
	It's also found in the grape leaves, by the way.
	And resveratrol is produced by the grape plant in response to an attack by fungi.
	So when the grape plant is attacked by molds, fungi, or fungal spores, it produces resveratrol as a defensive mechanism, which is why if you spray grapes with man's fungicides, synthetic chemicals, you deprive the plant of its natural cycle of producing resveratrol.
	And that's why grapes that are treated with pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, they lack the nutritional density of grapes produced organically.
	Or grapes that you produce yourself, which are a lot more nutritionally dense.
	But if you want to grow grapes, you can grow an unlimited quantity of grapes.
	You can graft the grapes, or you can clone the grapes, or whatever propagation method works best for your grapes.
	And you notice that when you graft a plant or clone a plant or harvest a seed and plant a seed, you don't have to pay royalties to God, do you?
	God doesn't send you a bill.
	Oh, intellectual property claims you're pirating our molecules known as resveratrol and proanthocyanidins, which are found in grape seeds, for example.
	You don't get a bill from God.
	God grants you these blessings for free and in unlimited quantities.
	And actually, the next verse from Proverbs 10, I think it's verse 23, also says, and I'm paraphrasing because I'm not reading it right now, but it says that in addition to the blessing from God, also He does not give you sorrow with it.
	That's a great line.
	Because...
	When you get a lot of dollars, counterfeit currency, debt instruments, what comes with the dollars that are rooted in man's economy?
	Sorrow.
	All kinds of sorrow.
	The more dollars you have, the more sorrow you get.
	And you're like, wait, what do you mean?
	I thought rich people were happy.
	Do you know a lot of rich people?
	Are any of them happy?
	No, they're medicated.
	That's what they are.
	So they're trading the fake dollars for the fake medicine and they're on psychiatric drugs.
	That's not happiness.
	That's being numb to the world.
	And by the way, the more dollars you have, the more you know you have.
	You have to worry about everything.
	You have to worry about taxes.
	You have to worry about asset protection.
	How do I keep the dollars?
	How do I make sure I don't lose them?
	The dollars are losing value.
	I need to trade the dollars for something else, like gold or what have you.
	What can I do with these dollars before they lose value?
	Because food inflation is 50% a year right now.
	You get the idea.
	The more dollars you have, the more worries you have.
	But if you're growing God's molecules in plants, in foods, in superfoods, or sprouts, you don't have all those same worries.
	If you're growing a grape orchard in your backyard, you're not worried.
	Like, is the IRS going to come take my grapes?
	Probably not.
	Probably not, because they don't see those as assets.
	You see?
	And that's a key truth in all of this, which is that those who are rooted in man's economy, man's synthetic economy, are blind to God's economy.
	They don't recognize real assets.
	They don't see value in the things that actually have value.
	They assign value to synthetic things that are worthless because they're rooted in debt or they're rooted in disease or poisons and things that you can't take with you.
	But if we're going to use the word assets, we need to recognize that assets must be those things that you can take with you, things that God sees as having value.
	And that's not dollars, folks.
	That's not dollars.
	It's more like deeds.
	Deeds, behavior, integrity.
	You earn that in your life day by day with the decisions that you make and God grants you those assets through His favor.
	There is no wealth other than the blessing of God.
	Everything else is illusion.
	Now, in order to understand God's economy in more depth, we also have to look at the fraud of the traditional financial and investment system that promises you returns over time, but actually deceives you into taking less money than what you put in.
	So for example, if you go to a traditional beast system bank, you know, every regular bank in America, And you give them, let's just, let's say $100,000 in a CD, a certificate of deposit.
	And they say, well, we'll pay you something.
	Let's just say it's 5% return, which is actually higher than what it would be, but it's an easy number to work with.
	So they say, we'll pay you 5% annual return.
	So you turn over to them $100,000 in currency, which, remember, is not money.
	It's actually instruments of debt.
	And then in a year, they give you back $105,000 of the same currency.
	But after that year has gone by, what is that currency worth?
	It's actually lost more than 5% in purchasing power because of course money printing leads to inflation and inflation is indicative of rising prices and what you're paying at the grocery store is way more than 5% more each year.
	It's more like 25% more.
	And your insurance rates, health insurance, home insurance, car insurance, business insurance, what have you, liability insurance, is going up 20, 25 or more percent every single year.
	So you gave the bank $100,000 What you got back was maybe only about $75,000 worth of purchasing power in last year's dollars.
	You see what I mean?
	So you actually loaned the bank your money, your currency, for a year, during which it got to use your money, and you got back less money.
	Less money in terms of actual purchasing power.
	That's man's economy.
	It is a fraud.
	It's deceptive.
	And they tell you, oh, you're getting more money.
	Look, it's $105,000, but the value isn't there any longer.
	And so it's rooted in fraud.
	The same thing with the stock market.
	You might have a stock investment or a portfolio of stocks and maybe you make 10% annual return on average, which is considered very good for being in the stock market, by the way.
	If you pull down 10%, that's considered doing great.
	So first of all, you have to pay taxes on the gain, the 10% gain.
	And depending on your tax bracket, that might mean that you have to pay a quarter of that or more, just depending on what capital gains taxes are and what your tax bracket is and your circumstances.
	But you don't even get to keep all that 10%.
	But even then, even if you did, let's say you invested $100,000 in stocks and you got back $110,000, Well, it's only worth about $75,000 in the dollars that you put in because of inflation.
	So it's the same thing in the stock market.
	Now, those of you who are wise and informed, you know that there are elements created by God, the entire table of elements, Are different expressions of physical matter created by God when he created the cosmos and created the laws of physics.
	So gold and silver are expressions of God, literally.
	As is hydrogen.
	You know, as is lithium.
	I mean, all the elements are just different expressions of the cosmos and the creation of God.
	But gold and silver are on that list.
	They are elements, like copper.
	And so...
	Many people understand that if you then exchange your dollars for things like gold and silver, that gold and silver cannot be counterfeited.
	Why?
	Because mankind cannot counterfeit the elements that were created by God.
	No one has yet been able to synthesize gold.
	And all the alchemists of old who tried to transmute lead into gold failed.
	Nobody turned lead into gold because gold.
	Well, if they had, if there were a way to do that, then gold would be valueless because there would be so much gold in the world that the supply, you know, would be overwhelming.
	So the only gold or silver that exists is that which was created under the laws of physics, typically in the fusion process of the explosion of stars, and then deposited On the planets and within the planets, which is why you have to mine gold and silver.
	But all of this was created through the expression of God.
	And you know what's interesting about that is that over time throughout the cosmos, There is essentially an unlimited potential for more gold to be created through more cosmic events.
	Exploding stars, for example, will always generate more gold.
	And even one day, potentially, depending on the mass and the composition, our own sun may explode and produce gold.
	You know, not in our lifetimes, obviously.
	We're talking about a cosmic scale here, but this is...
	A natural, normal process that was set into motion by the architect of our cosmos who laid down the rules, the laws of physics and electromagnetism and atomic masses and matter transmutation through atomic fusion and fission.
	And that has been driven by God, and mankind hasn't been able to counterfeit that.
	Interesting, isn't it?
	Now, let's compare investing in a bank with a CD versus investing in growing food.
	So you know how with a bank, you hand over your debt instruments, your dollars, counterfeit money.
	You hand it over, the bank gets to use it for a year, and you get less back than what you put in, in terms of purchasing power.
	So you lose.
	No matter what, you lose.
	Well, what if instead, what if you put time and money and effort into growing food or growing medicine?
	Herbs, foods, superfoods, backyard gardening, sprouting, growing medicinal mushrooms even.
	Well, in that case, you get back more than what you put in.
	You put in some time and some effort, maybe a little bit of upfront cost.
	You know, you're going to need some garden tools.
	You might need some garden soil.
	You might need some seed packs and things like that.
	But those costs are relatively minimal compared to what you get out of it.
	Once you set that system in motion, which is rooted in nature and God's blessings, that system then begins to grow and it uses sunlight as energy photosynthesis.
	And the inputs of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
	And with those three inputs, each of which represents energy.
	A pillar of life in the cosmos, by the way.
	With those three combined, through the miracle of chlorophyll, which is the molecule that carries the energy around the plant and that looks green, by the way, then you have bioenergy in plants.
	And this bioenergy then synthesizes molecules Which are vitamins and nutrients, such as vitamin C. Or certain mushrooms generate vitamin D, which is an anti-cancer nutrient.
	Or some plants will synthesize carotenoids, which are typically fat-soluble antioxidants.
	And certain microalgae.
	Such as hematococcus, which is the microalgae that's used to grow astaxanthin.
	It produces astaxanthin, which is called the king of the carotenoids.
	It is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is incredibly potent and dense in its power.
	And wait till I tell you the story of why microalgae even create astaxanthin.
	It's actually a long-term solar shield so that they can go into hibernation for sometimes a century in deserts and places that have very little rainfall.
	And then when the rain comes one day, even 100 years later, they come back to life because they've been protected in their cocoon of astaxanthin that has protected them from radiation damage, from ionizing radiation of the sun.
	Yes.
	Yes. - Yes.
	And the value of acyxanthin is so great, or even, let's say, the value of resveratrol, like I said earlier, or the value of anthocyanins.
	You know, anthocyanins are, well, they're very potent nutrients that are often purple or dark blue, and they're found in eggplant, for example, or they're found in blue corn.
	Or they're found in blueberries and blackberries and aronia berries, which grow in North America.
	And these are incredibly potent and valuable molecules that are known to do many, many things.
	They can protect against, by the way, spike protein fragments in your blood.
	So these help reduce spike protein latching itself onto your organs and receptor sites throughout your body.
	So anthocyanins are just really incredible.
	You can read up about them online.
	Just search for anthocyanins, C-Y-A-N-I-N-S. Now anthocyanins, as with all the other molecules that we're talking about here in plants, they did not exist when you planted the seeds.
	They were created, they were synthesized by the plants.
	So back to your investment, you invested in planting some food, Planting a little garden, planting some grapes, planting a fruit tree, whatever you planted.
	And then through the miracles of God, you got real compounding interest.
	Not in mankind's synthetic accounting system based on scarcity and fraud and cheating you out of your money, but rather in God's economy where you get more out than what you put in.
	You put in a little bit and God gives you a lot.
	God is the multiplier of abundance and you see it in foods and natural medicines and you see it in so many areas of your life.
	It is undeniable.
	So the upshot of all of this is if you want to be truly wealthy in every way that wealth matters, Then you need to operate in God's economy.
	If you want to live or die in poverty and scarcity and never having enough and always being ripped off and having your, quote, wealth stolen from you, Then you can operate in man's economy because that is the economy of thievery and deception.
	That's Satan's economy.
	The Western banking system, the Federal Reserve, the printing of the dollars, that's all satanic.
	It's rooted in deception and thievery and confiscating money from you in the realm of the IRS that says, how dare you keep what you earned?
	We're going to come take it from you and then whatever you have left isn't going to be worth as much as it was anyway.
	So it's double theft, triple theft, theft on top of theft.
	That's man's economy.
	And if you are operating in man's economy, you will never be left with the things that you earned.
	Because the job of the beast system is to take them from you in every way possible.
	But if you operate in God's economy...
	God wants you to have more, and God gives you the blessing to have more.
	And it's not an economy rooted in scarcity or hoarding or keeping everything for yourself.
	It's an economy based on recognizing the limitless abundance.
	And if you have limitless abundance, why wouldn't you share with others?
	Because whatever you have that you want to give to someone else who needs it, If you're operating in God's economy, there's more where that came from anyway.
	You're going to be blessed with more.
	You will always have more than what you need, and then you become a conduit for others to help others who are not yet on board fully with God's economy, but maybe they need a sign of it, and you can be that sign.
	Okay, one more thought about God's economy is that when you're operating in God's economy and you are serving as a conduit of distributing resources, you are a steward, a temporary steward of resources to help others, to contribute to society, and so on.
	The mindset, the heart of what you're doing matters just as much as the actions.
	And I want to be very clear.
	You can't trick God with your actions.
	You don't want to approach this as if you're sort of buying favor with God to make up for past sins or whatever.
	Like, oh, in the past you did all these horrible things, but if you just give enough money to a church, then you're going to be all right with God.
	But you haven't really changed your lifestyle.
	You haven't really made amends.
	It's not really coming from the heart.
	It's just writing a check to try to buy your way out of sin.
	That does not work.
	And the reason it does not work is because not only does God see you, but you see you.
	You see what you're doing.
	You know.
	And your soul is imprinting all of this for eternity.
	And so if you don't live this, if you don't take it to heart and actually function within God's economy in a way that embodies the spirit of God's economy, then it doesn't really count.
	And so it's very important to experience the joy of giving.
	This was something that was taught to me at a very young age.
	I was very fortunate to be brought up by two very compassionate humanitarian parents.
	Who taught the joy of giving.
	And we experience so much joy at Christmas time, for example, or birthday parties, being able to give to someone and just to see their eyes light up like, wow, this is amazing.
	It doesn't even need to be material, but just rather the recognition to that person that they matter.
	That you thought of them.
	As they say, the thought is what counts, not the gift itself.
	It's the fact that you cared enough to give.
	And I found this to be true throughout my whole life that I take great joy in giving to people.
	And I don't have to fake it and I don't have to always give in public.
	I don't have to have public credit for giving all the time.
	I mean, I've done a lot of giving that has been public.
	I've made donations that have been public and so on.
	Lots of donations.
	Donations of food and donating to food banks in the aftermath of hurricanes and floods and donating money in the aftermath of earthquakes and things like that.
	Over the years, we've done a lot from my various organizations.
	But there's a lot of giving that I've done in private that nobody will ever know about.
	And they don't have to.
	It's okay.
	Because it was the joy of giving and the joy of seeing in somebody else's eyes that they are valued.
	And often I like to give things that are practical.
	So I'm not the kind of person to give gifts that are cosmetic.
	I don't give like even a bottle of wine.
	That's just not me.
	You'll never see me show up with a bottle of wine.
	I give people things that are practical, things that they can use, things like emergency medicine for their pets, for example, or things that have gold in them, because I love the element of gold and what it represents, which is a store of value in God's economy.
	It's an expression of God's design of the universe.
	So I would give practical things to people, and they very often love that, but just as importantly, I love doing it.
	And I've consistently found over the years that even as I give away more and more, I am blessed with more and more things to give away.
	It's really extraordinary.
	I have been...
	There are times I'm actually overwhelmed with so much stuff, so many boxes of things that have been given my way, that have been donated to our organization, that I have to take my truck and pick them all up and then it actually becomes a hassle.
	What do I do with all this stuff?
	And I start making lists of where to send it, what to do with it.
	And we've also found there are some difficulties of giving certain things to food banks, for example.
	Food banks don't like food that isn't processed food from regular food companies.
	So in our own organization, sometimes we have supplements or food to donate.
	And over the years, we found it very difficult to locate groups that would accept those donations.
	We did finally locate two groups, faith-based groups, that we have donated a tremendous amount like pallets of supplements and superfoods.
	And of course, they have to be non-expired product, which they were.
	And they have to be accurately labeled, you know, proper food or supplement labeling and so on, which they were.
	But, you know, thank goodness that we found some groups that we could donate through for some of the pallet size donations.
	But for other things that are smaller than that, I'm often doing that locally and just handing things out to various people, and I really, really enjoy that, and I feel blessed to have that opportunity.
	Now, if you're not blessed with all kinds of incoming donations, that's fine.
	There are many other things that you can give to people.
	Like, think about sprouts.
	What an amazing gift to give somebody that costs almost nothing.
	Go buy a mason jar, get a sprouting lid for it, which you can buy online very inexpensively.
	And just take some broccoli seeds and put them in a little sandwich bag and write on it broccoli seeds and put the seeds with the bag in the jar and put the sprouting lid on top.
	And that's a gift to somebody.
	It's a medicine gift.
	You've given them the gift of sulforaphane.
	And all the other amazing molecules that are found in broccoli sprouts.
	Or you could use alfalfa sprouts and give them the gift of chlorophyll or whatever.
	Different kinds of sprouts have different kinds of nutrients.
	But you can create sprouting kits for almost nothing and give them to people and have a conversation with them about God's economy.
	That, look, this costs you nothing and it's going to generate medicine for you, actual medicine in the food, In the herbs, medicine that you don't need a doctor's permission to take.
	You don't need a pharmacy.
	You don't need a prescription.
	You don't have to wait in line at the pharmacy.
	You don't need a medical insurance card.
	You don't have to fill out paperwork.
	You don't have to pay health insurance.
	You just add water and it grows medicine for you and it multiplies the inputs because we're living in God's economy.
	It is a multiplier of abundance.
	And the more you can see this in the world around you and recognize how God's economy actually works, that it's built on multiplying, it's built on limitless abundance, and it's built on creation.
	You know, the plant is creating the vitamin C. You know, the seed of an orange doesn't itself contain all the vitamin C that's going to be found in all the oranges.
	As the tree grows, it builds the vitamin C and it does so for free and it does so with limitless abundance.
	If we operate in that economy, it's transformative.
	Our lives are forever changed and forever improved.
	So I invite you to recognize how God's economy works and then also scrutinize more closely the fraud of man's economy.
	Most of us have been operating in man's economy our entire lives and we think that dollars are money and we think that banks pay us extra and we think all these things that are not true.
	You've been deceived your entire life.
	Switch to God's economy and you can start living a life of abundance.
	So those are my words of advice for today is to be that sign that others need.
	Be that example of operating in God's economy.
	Share wherever you can.
	Thank you for listening today.
