	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News from Monday, August 19th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me.
	What are we talking about today?
	It looks like Israel and Ukraine will fall first, followed by the UK, and then followed by the United States of America.
	I know this is a big-picture claim.
	I'm going to walk you through why I think we're on track for that outcome, how it could potentially be avoided, And then, if it's not, what we can do to survive what's coming.
	Now, right now, about one-third of the United States Navy is either deployed or in the process of being deployed to the Middle East in order to protect Israel from An anticipated attack by Iran, which of course would be retaliation against Israel murdering the head of Hamas with a bomb or a missile.
	I'm not sure.
	Maybe it's a bomb in Tehran.
	That was now a couple of weeks ago.
	And Israel also murdered a Hezbollah leader in Beirut, I think on the same day, actually.
	So Israel, once again, acting like it alone has the right to just kill anybody at once in any country, any city, at any time.
	And then, you know, how dare you retaliate against us?
	Because, well, Israel is like the little kid on the playground that's got a big brother.
	The big brother is like five years older, like a mustache when he's 12, you know, and that big brother is the United States of America and the USA steaming into place with literally hundreds of cruise missiles, tactical missiles and all kinds of other weaponry, of tactical missiles and all kinds of other weaponry, of course, bombers and jet fighters and so on, sailing into position to respond to an attack by Iran.
	Will this attack take place?
	Probably.
	Probably.
	We don't know for sure, but it looks very likely that that's the case.
	Now, here's the upshot of all of this.
	It looks increasingly likely to me that Israel is on a trajectory that will see it destroy itself.
	Already, right now, Israel's economy is in a state of accelerating collapse.
	The productive members of Israel's society have largely fled or are in the process of fleeing.
	Many of them have been recruited into the military, and who knows how many tens of thousands of Israelis have already been killed in the battles in Gaza, and some with southern Lebanon, of course.
	So Israel's hurting economically.
	There's a mental health crisis in Israel, and since the two primary ports do not function now because of the naval blockade of Yemen, There is essentially an economic embargo against Israel that is having devastating effects on its businesses and investments.
	So there are really no investors right now that say, hey, let's invest in Israel.
	Why?
	Because your investment could just go up in smoke literally in the next couple of months as Israel's infrastructure is bombed into oblivion.
	Numerous airlines have also banned all air traffic in and out of Tel Aviv, making it virtually impossible to get to Israel by air.
	Now you have to fly to other nearby cities and then get into Israel by road, and that situation is also going to become more difficult.
	We also covered previously how Intel had halted the construction of a $40 billion chip factory in Israel.
	And that's because they could not receive materials that are necessary to be shipped through the ports.
	So that's done.
	No more chip factories.
	And at the same time, Israel's own behavior is so outrageously immoral and inhuman, such as the sodomizing of Palestinian prisoners, the raping of prisoners...
	I mean, of male prisoners by male soldiers.
	I mean, and it's not a gay thing.
	It's a violent thing.
	And then the Israeli courts determining, yes, that's perfectly allowed, you know, because, you know, we're the Zionists.
	We can rape and sodomize and torture and murder anybody we want.
	And the world looks at that and says, WTF?
	What kind of country is this that has just bombed almost all of Gaza into rubble that rapes and tortures prisoners and that believes it alone has the right to assassinate leaders in other countries at will?
	And it justifies it.
	And the U.S. Congress applauds for Netanyahu.
	So the rest of the world is looking at this, especially countries in the Middle East, but also including, of course, Russia and China.
	Pakistan is watching this.
	Turkey is watching this very carefully.
	And a lot of these countries are, I think, internally deciding, hey, we can't coexist with this country.
	So in the minds of a lot of these countries, they've already decided that they've got to figure out a way to destroy Israel before Israel destroys them.
	And before Israel carries out its Greater Israel Plan, which would require the decimation of Iraq and much of Afghanistan and many other countries in the region as well.
	Remember, Israel does not see any place for anybody else other than its own people.
	And Israel, at least the Zionist philosophy in Israel, believes that Its people were chosen by God to rule the earth and to murder, slaughter, exterminate anybody who's in their way because they say God gave us this land.
	And when they say this land, it's a pretty big sweeping gesture like all of this.
	You know, all the way to Iran from the Mediterranean, you know, to Iran and most of the Persian Gulf region.
	God gave us all this and therefore we can kill anybody we want who's on our land.
	They're on our land, you know.
	That's what they tell themselves.
	So obviously that attitude is not compatible with human civilization.
	And so a lot of other countries have clearly made the decision that they've got to eliminate Israel.
	The question is how?
	And part of the answer to that is that Israel is destroying itself.
	Again, economically, morally, ethically, most of the world has turned against Israel at this point.
	There was a lot of pity against Israel on October 7th.
	That has been squandered as Israel has carried out acts of extreme violence, genocide, and terrorism itself against innocent civilians by the tens of thousands, bombing hospitals and refugee camps, and food aid workers, among other transgressions.
	So the nation of Israel as we know it today probably does not have much longer to exist in its current form.
	Not that I'm wishing for any harm to come to the Israeli people.
	I pray for the Israeli people, by the way.
	I pray that they would remove Netanyahu from power and restore sanity to their country.
	I believe that the only way Israel has a future is if they can stop Netanyahu and these so-called far-right extremists and denounce their actions and they would probably have to come to some kind of settlement with the Palestinian people to rebuild Gaza.
	And since they bombed it, they destroyed it, they need to rebuild it.
	And also then to have a...
	Sort of a multi-ethnic one-state solution in the region that recognizes the universal human rights of every living being.
	So every Palestinian would get one vote just as every Israeli would get one vote.
	That would be real democracy, right?
	And that's not what they have now.
	Because the Israelis consider Palestinians to be subhuman animals.
	So it's unlikely, though, that the culture of modern-day Israel would accept anything resembling Equal rights or humanitarian recognition of the Palestinian people.
	And because of that, Israel is unlikely to put itself on a path of coexistence with the other nations that surround it.
	And as a result, Israel is unlikely to back away from its violence and war.
	And then as a result of that, Israel is very likely to be struck by probably first a barrage of missiles from Hezbollah.
	And then following that, another barrage of missiles and even precision guided ballistic missiles from Iran.
	And who knows, Turkey might get into the whole mix here.
	Egypt might get involved.
	This could become a very large regional war.
	It's very unlikely that Israel will survive this with much of an infrastructure intact and much of its population still residing in the area.
	But, again, it's not.
	And with the Israeli government still surviving as well.
	So it's not too difficult to see Israel having to be sort of rebuilt from the rubble in the not-too-distant future.
	But in the process of this, Israel will commit extreme damage to other countries using probably nuclear weapons.
	My prediction is that Israel will be the first to use nuclear weapons.
	And they will likely use them against Iran, possibly against Beirut or targets of southern Lebanon.
	But I think Beirut is an obvious target by Israel.
	But if Israel uses nuclear weapons against Iran's energy infrastructure, which also seems very likely, Then here's where this is going to go.
	Number one, world energy prices will absolutely skyrocket.
	Oil could easily approach $200 a barrel as a result.
	The Strait of Hormuz would be shut off, most likely.
	There would be virtually no energy exports out of the Middle East to, well, to the UK, to Western Europe, or to the United States, or anywhere else for that matter.
	It would be devastating to the world economy.
	This would cause a global economic depression, and you would see gold prices absolutely skyrocket.
	I don't know how high that would go.
	There's no way to tell.
	But gold's at $2,500 an ounce right now, all-time record high.
	I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to double that, following the use of nuclear weapons by Israel, let's say.
	$5,000 an ounce might be actually a very conservative estimate if nukes start flying in the Middle East and Iran's oil fields start getting nuked, which would have, of course, devastating long-term consequences because with the radioactive fallout, you can't just go back in there and reopen the oil field.
	There's a lot of fallout.
	There's a lot of cesium.
	You'd have to go in with, I don't know, radiological suits.
	How do you work on oil rigs if you're in a radiological suit?
	I don't think you do.
	I don't think that is possible.
	So pivot point number one is Israel using nukes.
	We're not that far from that.
	Now, if Israel uses nukes, and if the U.S. Navy has a very large presence in that region, both in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Red Sea and possibly in the Persian Gulf, other areas there, You would very likely see nuclear attacks on U.S. naval vessels.
	There are a couple of interesting scenarios or disturbing scenarios, I should say, where that could happen.
	One of them is the possibility that Pakistan could provide nuclear technology to perhaps Turkey and then Turkey could Might get that into the hands of someone like either Hezbollah or the Yemenis.
	So that's one route because Pakistan has nuclear weapons capability.
	The other route is Russia.
	So Russia, we know, provides weapons to Iran.
	Russia has, of course, the largest nuclear weapons arsenal on the planet, larger than the United States, larger than China.
	It's not too difficult to imagine a scenario where Russia's nuclear weapons find their way into Iran's hands and then in the retaliation against Israel's nuclear attack on Iran's oil fields that Iran nukes Israel.
	And it would only take one nuke.
	Because Israel's not that big and a Russian nuke would have quite an extraordinary yield.
	Or it could.
	Obviously, depending on the size of the warhead, and I'm not that familiar with all the different warheads that Russia has, but I do know it's common to have a one megaton warhead.
	And remember that Hiroshima was 16 kilotons, right?
	In other words, 0.016 megatons, okay?
	Okay.
	So think about what that did to Hiroshima or Nagasaki and then multiply that by what?
	What is that?
	Like 50 or something?
	And that gets you to roughly 1 megaton.
	Or in other words, you know, 50 atomic bombs equivalent dropped on Israel.
	Would there be anything left?
	No.
	No, there wouldn't be.
	And of course there would be radioactive fallout affecting Israel.
	Many surrounding countries, and we're talking about not just a humanitarian disaster, but an ecological disaster on a scale that this world has never seen.
	Never seen.
	Nothing of that size has been dropped on a human city or a series of cities.
	We're talking about long-term contamination of water supply.
	We're talking about long-term radioactive fallout affecting the food supply.
	We're talking about long-term famine and radiation sickness.
	And then we don't know how the winds will blow from that and who will be affected in the Middle East or in other parts of Asia or even Eastern Europe.
	So it's a very dangerous scenario that we're looking at here.
	But we're on the verge of it escalating to that because Israel just won't stop assassinating and killing and provoking because Israel wants the U.S. to enter the war.
	That's very clear.
	And Netanyahu is willing to risk the safety of the entire world in order to try to save his own butt, his own political future, save himself from prison.
	So that's where all this is headed.
	If U.S. naval vessels start getting nuked and start sinking, then The possibility becomes that the U.S. may get involved in a nuclear retaliation of some kind, perhaps using submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
	And if submarines start launching ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads, then we're in all kinds of trouble because that can quickly escalate into a global thermonuclear exchange that ends the world as we know it.
	So let's hope and pray it doesn't go there.
	But no thanks to Netanyahu, we are on that track.
	Now, even if it doesn't go there, if the energy supplies are devastated or the energy export routes out of the Middle East are blocked with the Strait of Hormuz, then there will be devastating effects to Western Europe.
	So let's forget about the UK for a second here.
	Which isn't difficult to do because its own leaders have already done so.
	But let's go to the East.
	Let's talk about Germany.
	Germany has already suffered a 40% collapse of its industrial output because the Nord Stream pipeline was destroyed by the U.S. Navy, now being blamed on Zelensky in Ukraine.
	And Zelensky didn't do that at all.
	That was U.S. Navy all the way.
	But Germany's industrial base has collapsed.
	It was a couple years ago that Michael Jan and I were in the studio talking about this, and Michael Jan said, Europe's done.
	Western Europe, it's done.
	It will go into a state of collapse, economic collapse, famine, pestilence, and war.
	And I agreed with Michael Jan at the time, and he's exactly correct.
	Right now, Western Europe is already suffering...
	The economic consequences of sky-high energy prices, also the de-industrialization consequences, which causes massive unemployment, which causes the collapse of the social order, combined with the invading migrant wave of illegals that are taking over so many of these countries.
	Much of Western Europe, especially the UK, is on the tipping point of being ungovernable, a tipping point of chaos.
	If you have war in the Middle East where no more energy can be exported to the UK from the Middle East regions through the Strait of Hormuz, then the United Kingdom, well, not all of it, but Britain in particular, suffers a near total economic collapse. but Britain in particular, suffers a near total economic collapse.
	That would be followed by a political collapse, a social order collapse, and so on.
	Now, other countries outside Great Britain, let's say Ireland and Scotland, they can make do on their own.
	Very strong, independent-minded people, and they will not go down with the sinking ship of Great Britain.
	But in proper Britain and London, as well as the city of London, will all suffer a near-total collapse scenario.
	And, well, Britain will not be the same ever again as it is today.
	Most likely the Islamic invaders over time will succeed in overrunning much of Western Europe.
	Western Europe will cease to be a Christian continent for the most part.
	There may be extra resistance in places like Poland or Hungary, for example, but the UK, France, Germany, well, I don't think Romania is going to fare very well in this, nor Austria and so on.
	They are in deep, deep trouble.
	So watch for economic collapse, industrial collapse, and social order collapse, followed by famine, And then a, well, a political collapse.
	Basically a societal collapse.
	Now, even before that probably gets underway, it looks like Ukraine is on the verge of falling militarily and possibly politically.
	Certainly economically, it has already fallen.
	I've got a special report about the situation in Kursk where Ukrainian forces obviously aided by NATO forces are trying to cause a nuclear accident in the Kursk nuclear power plant because that's the only way they believe they can draw more NATO forces into the war with Russia.
	This effort will very likely fail.
	Germany has already announced that they will offer no more support No more financial support and no more military support whatsoever.
	Why?
	Because Germany now believes that Zelensky blew up Nord Stream, which is what resulted in the destruction of Germany's industrial ecosystem or industrial economy.
	So Germany is not happy with Zelensky and they're tired of sending money to Ukraine.
	Ukraine will likely fall within the next several months in one form or another.
	It could be a peace accord.
	It could be that Zelensky thumbs his nose at the West and sits down and somehow negotiates peace with Russia.
	It's not even clear how he can sign anything, though, since he's no longer an elected official in Ukraine.
	I don't know how that would work.
	Who signs?
	Who signs a peace document that would be binding?
	I don't even know.
	I think there's almost no one left in Ukraine that is still within an elected term in any position of power, but maybe I'm wrong.
	Maybe there is somebody who can sign such a document, maybe a military leader or something.
	But there's going to be some kind of eventually a negotiated settlement, an end to hostilities, and the only question right now is how much of Ukraine is left when that day comes.
	Clearly Ukraine has lost most of the Donbass region.
	Clearly the southern coastline of Ukraine is going to be demanded by Russia, especially all the way to the city of Odessa.
	But also at the same time, Russia does not wish to occupy western Ukraine.
	Because Western Ukraine is the people that are not fans of Russia.
	So very likely there's going to end up being some kind of peace accord where Ukraine continues to exist but as a much smaller version of itself and with a completely different government that is no longer ruled by the West.
	Thus, Ukraine will fall and then will be reborn in some kind of new rendition that would meet the terms of surrender or settlement laid out by Russia.
	So I've got a special report on that very point.
	We'll play that now and then we'll be back with more discussion about the fall of the U.S.
	So stay with us.
	So here's what's going down with the Kiev attack in the Kursk region of Russia.
	As you know by now, this has been going on for quite some time.
	NATO and Kiev carried out a very well-planned incursion that has brought them something like 25 kilometers inside the border of Russia in the Kursk region, headed straight for the Kursk nuclear power plant.
	Apparently, this attack, which is, as far as I know, it's the first invasion of Russia proper since World War II. This attack involves over 12,000 troops and hundreds of armored vehicles, many of which have already been destroyed.
	I don't know how many troops have been destroyed, but apparently it was thousands of troops from various nations, not just Ukraine.
	And reportedly some of these were the best troops.
	And they caught Russia by surprise.
	Russia did not have good defenses in that region because of course they've been focused elsewhere.
	And at first, there was a lot of confusion about this.
	Like, why are they attacking here?
	But very quickly, it became obvious.
	They're headed for the Kursk nuclear power plant.
	And as has been reported by numerous outlets linked to Russia and Russian sources, they are saying that the aim of the Ukraine forces, Kiev, is to set off a dirty bomb attack At the Kursk nuclear power plant in order to create a nuclear event,
	a large-scale nuclear release that would affect much of Europe and would therefore draw NATO into the war.
	And it is believed by many analysts that this would be disastrous ecologically, but that Ukraine is reaching a point of desperation and must have NATO more deeply involved in the war or they will lose.
	This is especially true given that Germany has just announced no more military aid to Ukraine, period.
	It goes to zero.
	Now at first it was believed by many analysts that this maneuver by Ukraine, this attack into Russia, was only intended to achieve a better negotiation position because Ukraine is ending its ability to wage war.
	It's running out of men.
	It's running out of equipment.
	It's running out of funding from countries like Germany.
	And so it's going to have to sit down at some point and negotiate with Russia what are the terms of the peace, if you call it peace, or the ending of hostilities.
	And Ukraine would be in a better position to do that if it had seized the nuclear power plant in the Kursk region or other facilities there, including Armories or oil production or gas, excuse me, gas production, not oil, but gas production in that region.
	Which is my understanding, they had seized at least one gas operations plant in that area.
	I don't know the current status.
	Obviously, the information is pretty sketchy coming out of there because it's war.
	But if Ukraine, i.e.
	NATO, if they do plan to carry out some kind of a radiological release or a dirty bomb attack, and then to blame it on Russia, potentially, this could be a major escalation of the war situation there.
	And it would cause a worldwide panic in terms of Radiation fallout, especially in Europe.
	But of course, all the countries in the Northern Hemisphere would share in some level of radiation fallout.
	And probably what you would see would be a panic for people to buy things like iodine or radiation meters or anything that could protect them from radioactive fallout.
	A lot of things would happen, and this would be the biggest, obviously, the biggest radiation disaster since, well, Chernobyl.
	I mean, in that region, Chernobyl was, I believe, 1986.
	Fukushima was larger, but that's far away in Japan in 2011, I believe.
	But 1986, Chernobyl, massive release of radiation.
	At that time, of course, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union.
	Today it is not.
	Things are very different today.
	The state of war is more aggressive, more vicious.
	This could escalate very quickly.
	And on top of that, two things that have come out of Russia that are relevant here.
	One is that I believe it's Medvedev has said that if there is an attack on the Kursk nuclear power plant, There would be severe retaliation from Russia.
	Don't know what that would look like, but you can imagine that if the West sort of takes it nuclear, Russia might possibly, although they haven't said this, but just as an educated guess, Russia might say, well, then we can retaliate with nuclear weapons, possibly.
	Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but that's a possibility.
	The second significant statement to come out of Russia, and I regret I don't recall right offhand who said this, but it appears to be an official under Putin, is that the time for Ukraine to negotiate is now over.
	There's no more negotiation.
	There's now going to be either, according to Russia, complete surrender, that is unconditional surrender of all of Ukraine, or Russia will take all of Ukraine and will eliminate the Ukraine government in its entirety.
	That's a big statement.
	I'm not sure that Russia could make good on that when you start involving Western Ukraine, where the people despise Russia.
	You know, it's one thing to occupy the Donbass region or to even fold them into Russia because the people of the Donbass region are themselves very much pro-Russian by and large.
	Ethnic Russians, they speak Russian, they even voted to make themselves part of Russia.
	That's not going to be the case in western Ukraine.
	So the resistance on the street would be far more aggressive there.
	And plus, that would put Russia much closer to countries like Poland and Romania, where there are, of course, Western bases with aircraft that can engage in bombing raids and so on.
	So war in Western Ukraine would be very difficult for Russia to win.
	Potentially they could if they are seriously committed to a multi-year war, but I doubt that's what Russia is looking for.
	So maybe these are just strong words.
	Let's hope so.
	I don't want to see any more war in the region.
	I don't want to see anybody die.
	Now, the other significant development in all of this involves Germany.
	Germany has suffered about a 40% collapse of its industrial base because of the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines, which provided it with cheap, affordable gas energy from Russia via Gazprom.
	Well, you and I know that the United States Navy destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines.
	Joe Biden promised that this would happen.
	Victoria Nuland promised that it would happen.
	You know, even before the 2020 election, they said, That we will destroy this pipeline.
	Well now, according to official Western sources, they're saying that Zelensky had it destroyed.
	That Zelensky gave the order for some small crew in a boat.
	It's been called the Gilligan's Island attack on the Nord Stream pipelines.
	Like a fishing boat and the skipper and the professor, you know, and Marianne and Ginger, they all went down deep and they bombed Nord Stream, right?
	Yeah, of course, it's hilarious because it's not believable, but Germany has to fall in line with that narrative because they're part of NATO, so they have to carry water for the NATO lies.
	So Germany is now faced with a situation where they're saying, why are we providing military support to Ukraine when Ukraine bombed Nord Stream pipeline that has destroyed our industrial base?
	It makes no sense.
	It's like, why are you funding the terror regime that destroyed your affordable energy?
	So Germany is now saying, no more money for Ukraine.
	That's it.
	It goes to zero at this point.
	No more weapons, no more money, nothing.
	So with Germany out of the picture, where's Ukraine going to get more of its weapons?
	Well, the United States?
	There's some amount from the U.S., but the U.S. doesn't have the industrial capability to manufacture what they want to send to Ukraine.
	So Ukraine is running out of tanks and missiles and artillery and men and drones, everything else you can imagine.
	This is coming to an end pretty soon.
	We don't know exactly when, but it's not far away.
	A matter of a few months, perhaps.
	Maybe by the end of this year or early next year, it's really not clear.
	Part of it probably depends on who wins the election in the U.S. as well.
	But that's a snapshot of what's going on there.
	Germany's not happy.
	Ukraine is in this last-ditch desperate move in the Kursk region.
	We might have a radiological false flag event in the region that would set off global panic.
	And Russia did get caught with its pants down over the Kursk region there.
	Somebody messed up and left it undefended.
	So keep all that in mind, folks.
	This is going to get very interesting very quickly.
	Thanks for listening.
	Mike Adams here, the Health Ranger, naturalnews.com.
	Take care.
	All right, now moving to the United States.
	Now, just to be clear, in the sequence of events here, this is my best prediction.
	Israel could fall within a matter of a couple of years or less.
	Ukraine could fall within a matter of a few months.
	The United Kingdom could fall within a couple of years or less, and that would be exacerbated by a regional war in the Middle East affecting Iran and energy exports.
	The United States is also going to fall But it will probably be last among all those countries for a number of reasons.
	We're in the last stage here, the final chapter of the U.S. Empire.
	It doesn't matter if Trump is elected.
	I mean, for this purpose.
	Trump, in other words, can't prevent America from collapsing.
	Now, I still plan to vote for Trump, by the way, because I can't stand a communist Kamala.
	Not that we even know if she's going to be the final choice out of the Democrats.
	They're holding their DNC meeting right now.
	They built a giant wall to keep out nearly 100,000 protesters.
	Hopefully we'll talk about that in a little bit.
	So I can't vote for the communists.
	Give me a break.
	So I will vote for Trump.
	Trump then will likely be the last president of the United States of America as we know it.
	America will fall.
	I've been predicting for many years that 2025, by the end of it, that's the end of America as we know it, and it's not difficult to see how that happens at this point.
	Now, I don't want you to misunderstand me.
	I'm not saying that America is destroyed or that it goes down in a nuclear fire, although that is a possibility if we end up in nuclear war with Russia.
	But that the American economic system, that is the dollar, the currency, that it collapses and with it goes the current federal government.
	So without all this money printing and all the money laundering and fraud, and Ukraine was used for that, of course, war has been a racket for a very long time.
	But without all this excess money printing and fraud, well, the corrupt criminal cabal known as the federal government cannot function.
	And it can collapse suddenly, much like the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
	Remember, right now the U.S. is spending about a trillion dollars every 100 days.
	The government's 35 trillion dollars in debt, that will be 36 or 37 trillion before the end of this year.
	And it's also about a trillion dollars a year to pay interest on the debt, just to pay the interest on the debt that has previously been purchased.
	And yet, international buyers of debt, the usual suspects of buyers of debt, like China, are, for the most part, no longer buying U.S. Treasuries.
	China used to hold $3 trillion, roughly, in U.S. Treasuries, but they've let that go.
	They are allowing the Treasury bonds to expire, and instead of rolling them over into new Treasuries, they're buying gold.
	So now, China holds only about $700 billion in U.S. Treasuries, which is significantly less than what they used to, and that's going to continue to fall as those Treasury bonds expire.
	Some of them are 10-year bonds.
	Some might be 5 years.
	Some might be 30 years.
	Depends on what duration was purchased.
	But over time, China will be unloading all U.S. Treasury debt.
	Other countries are on a similar path, and there are not willing buyers right now.
	The Treasury is having difficulty auctioning off U.S. debt.
	And so it has to print money through the Federal Reserve to buy the debt.
	This will very quickly spiral into a hyperinflation event.
	You're printing money to pay the interest on the debt, and you can't offload the debt.
	You can't outsource it to anybody else anymore because 156 nations are ready to convert over to BRICS. That's right.
	That's the latest number.
	It's kind of like Operation Sandman now, 156 nations.
	They want to use bricks, and the currency of the bricks, at least as we understand it at present, is going to be called the unit, and the unit will be backed by, rumored to be 40% gold.
	And the unit will be the world's first currency that can't be artificially manipulated or counterfeited by one powerful government.
	That would make it probably the most honest currency in history, Other than Bitcoin, which also cannot be counterfeited, or gold, which can't be counterfeited.
	But in terms of an international settlement currency, this would be the only one that can't be counterfeited or cheated on by a nation.
	The U.S. can cheat with the dollar by just printing more dollars.
	So who's going to want dollars?
	Well, the answer increasingly is nobody.
	And so when the world turns away from the dollar and embraces the unit under BRICS, which will take time, this is a multi-year process, but as it begins to happen with more and more trading partners, India, Turkey, you know, not just Russia, China, Brazil, South Africa, whoever, we're talking about India.
	India's huge.
	This is a massive trading partner, a massive importer and exporter, importer of energy, exporter of everything from food to tractors and textiles, all kinds of things.
	You know, you put Turkey into that mix and many countries in Central and South America, African nations.
	Did you know they export huge amounts of cacao, for example?
	Cacao has been up to $10,000 a kilo recently, which is pretty wild.
	It's jumped around since then, but even chocolate can get crazy expensive.
	Anyway, these countries don't want to use the dollar.
	Can't trust the dollar.
	They want the BRICS currency.
	So the U.S. empire, its collapse won't be military.
	It will be financial.
	The world will reject the dollar.
	And when the dollar is rejected...
	At some point, if they just keep trying to print it domestically, you'll end up in hyperinflation.
	Now, Andy Sheckman from Miles Franklin, who's one of my favorite guests, and I'll have Andy Sheckman back on shortly, well, I think two or three weeks from now, he said that one other option for the United States government, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve would be to revalue the dollar as gold-backed currency.
	And in order to do that, now this is kind of a desperate move, and it would be sort of putting the dollar back on a gold standard.
	But given the number of dollars that are out there versus the amount of gold that the U.S. even has, even if you did something like only a 25% backed by gold situation, which could be acceptable, you know, if your dollars are 25% backed by gold, that gold might have to be revalued as something like $25,000 an ounce or maybe even $50,000 an ounce.
	And I don't know what silver would be, but a lot.
	A lot more than it is now.
	It's under $30 right now.
	In this scenario, it might be more like $1,000 an ounce.
	Now, if the U.S. government decided to do this, then suddenly gold and silver would be worth a lot of dollars.
	Because people could then exchange dollars for gold and silver, but you'd need a whole lot of dollars in order to do that, right?
	If gold's $25,000 an ounce, and you want to buy an ounce of gold, you have to come up with $25,000 US dollars.
	And in that scenario, given that an ounce of gold has, over time, always bought about the same amount of goods and services, like a cow, Typically, throughout much of history, you could buy a healthy whole cow for about one ounce of gold.
	And it's stayed true today, roughly, give or take.
	But what about the price of other goods?
	If an ounce of gold is worth $25,000, well, what does it cost to get like a A watermelon at the grocery store.
	How would this recalibration of dollars affect food prices?
	And a watermelon might be, I don't know, like $250 or something.
	We'd have to do the math on it, but you get the idea.
	Like a pound of ground beef might be, you know, $200 or more.
	Now you understand why communist Kamala is saying that they want to control food prices.
	Because if they do this desperate last-ditch effort to revalue the currency in gold, then food prices will skyrocket.
	And the government will come along and dictate the maximum that you can charge for a pound of beef or a chicken or a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread in a grocery store.
	But as we talked about last week, this would instantly cause shortages.
	The shelves would just go empty, you know, full Venezuela style.
	Never go full Venezuela.
	But, of course, Democrats don't understand this.
	They think that the government can just dictate prices and that magically makes everything affordable.
	Because, of course, Democrats are economically illiterate.
	And they don't understand cause and effect or even just integers, for that matter.
	Expecting Kamala to understand integers is like expecting a pigeon to play chess.
	It's just not going to fly.
	So you're going to end up with massive...
	Famine nationwide and rationing of food at the grocery stores tied to biometric enforcement of the food rationing.
	The biometric enforcement means you're going to have to give them your thumbprint, you know, at the checkout lane so that they can make sure you're not buying too much, can't get more than your allotted amount.
	And when they roll out food rationing with the biometric IDs, which is what they did in Venezuela, by the way, Guess what else would be perfect to marry with that crisis?
	Guess what?
	Central bank digital currencies.
	That's right.
	CBDCs.
	It's clear that this is what government will do if Kamala becomes president.
	So not only will they have fixed prices at the grocery store, which will put most food companies out of business, by the way, but for the goods that you are allowed to buy, You'll have to have a biometric identification at the grocery store, and the payment method will be through the government-controlled CBDC that also checks your social credit score to make sure that you haven't tweeted anything against the Democrats.
	Otherwise, you don't get the chicken or the bread or the milk or whatever.
	No soup for you!
	Yeah.
	Kamala will become the soup Nazi.
	So this is where things are headed in the United States.
	This isn't hyperbole.
	This is not some kind of drill or a hoax.
	This is exactly where it's headed.
	And it's now easy to see the pathway of how we get there.
	Now, this will end America if this happens.
	This will end the country.
	The country's broke.
	And by the way, like I said before, America ends even under Trump, but it just doesn't look like communism.
	It still ends in economic collapse and bankruptcy and the end of the dollar.
	Trump would be remembered as probably the last president of the empire.
	Or if it's Kamala, then it will end in outright tyranny, mass government terrorism and violence against its own people, mass executions on the streets by government agents working for the, what we call the communist Kamala or Kamualaism or something.
	I don't know what you call that.
	We'll have to come up with the right term for that.
	That sounded like I said Allah in the middle of that, which was not the intention, by the way.
	But I'm just trying to get Kamala's name in there.
	Nevertheless, if Kamala's the president, it's going to end in horrific violence and a kind of Stalinist type of holodomor, which, of course, resulted in the engineered mass famine and death of millions of Ukrainians.
	I think that was in the 1930s.
	Was that like 31, 1932?
	I forgot the year, but it was Stalin starving to death the people of Ukraine in order to essentially punish them for their desire for independence against the Soviet Union at the time and how Stalin wanted to Bring everybody together in love and communism, or whatever the slogan was.
	Sounds like the Kamala slogan.
	It's joy and love and communism, you know.
	Yeah, ripped right out of the pages of the history books of Joseph Stalin.
	Or Karl Marx.
	Somebody like that.
	Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that we are going to play the interview with Montauk today.
	I had thought, actually, we're going to play it on last Friday, but we bumped it to today.
	So that's coming up.
	Montalk, M-O-N-T-A-L-K. A lot of fascinating topics there.
	Kind of blow-your-mind type of things.
	You know, cosmically red-pilled.
	I think you'll enjoy that.
	And then we have another sermon today.
	And we published some sermons over the weekend today.
	Let me just kind of catch you up on that.
	Let's see.
	Today is Detox from Satan's Molecules Using God's Medicine.
	So this talks about detoxification in alignment with biblical principles.
	And then if you missed yesterday's episode, the Sunday episode, it's called Wormwood Revealed Not as Bitter Poison, but as God's Anti-Parasite Cure.
	People love that episode, at least the feedback I've received so far.
	That comes out of Revelation chapter 8, where Wormwood is mentioned as the name of a falling star.
	Not an herb, but it is also an herb that cures malaria very effectively.
	It also has anti-cancer properties.
	So if you go to my channel, you'll find that episode.
	It's sermon number 21.
	And then again, today, sermon number 22 is the detox from Satan's molecules using God's medicine.
	On Saturday, I had an episode called Churchery Treachery, exposing the lies of the false pastors and prophets.
	And that's an interesting one.
	Got a lot of positive feedback on that, too.
	And then, let's see, on Tuesday, sermon number 23 says, I teach 1 Timothy, correcting the wickedness that has festered inside the church for millennia.
	And by the way, just as a side note, one of the most surprising things to me about reading Scripture is how much of it is dedicated to To try to get church leaders to stop being perverts and pedophiles and child traffickers.
	It's like, oh, and drunkards and whores.
	So it's pretty wild, actually.
	Old Testament and new.
	You know, the letters from Paul the Apostle.
	When he's writing letters, like the Timothy letters, same thing.
	It's like, hey, tell the women to stop coming to church dressed like whores.
	And like 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians and, you know, Galatians and all of it.
	And I was joking too in the sermon.
	I said, there's the lost books of Paul, the apostle, when he spoke to the gargantuans.
	That's when he was teaching the giants, the gargantuan.
	But that's not in the Bible for some reason because, well, it's one of the lost books of Paul.
	That's a joke, folks.
	We try to have a little fun with the Bible, a little bit of innocent fun, just lighthearted jokes here and there, nothing profane, but fun.
	Keep it interesting.
	So if you haven't heard any of my sermons, I think you'll really enjoy them.
	And if you do know Scripture, I guarantee you that you've never heard this approach to Scripture, which focuses, of course, on herbs and nutrition and superfoods and, again, God's medicine, God's molecules versus Satan's molecules.
	So very much worth checking out.
	All right, so now let's talk about how to survive all this and how to navigate all this.
	I mean, of course, there's preparedness and so on, but I'm going way beyond that here.
	There's been a lot of talk recently from a lot of people about having serious relocation plans.
	That's not me.
	I'm not leaving the country.
	I'm not leaving Texas.
	But many people are.
	And it's because of the risk of nuclear weapons.
	Kim.com is in New Zealand.
	And New Zealand is very unlikely to be duped.
	But then again, New Zealand is a vaccine police state.
	And he's being extradited out of New Zealand, at least according to the courts there.
	So I'm not even sure that New Zealand's very safe.
	Australia is also a vaccine police state.
	Canada is too.
	And to people that have...
	If Americans go to places like, you know, Costa Rica or Panama or Mexico or South America, you know...
	You do stick out as the foreigner, usually.
	You stand out as the foreigner.
	Unless you're very fluent in the language and you look and dress like the locals, you're going to stick out.
	And when everything starts going crazy, typically the foreigner is seen as the wealthy person, like a walking ATM, someone who can be Blackmailed or threatened to give up some money of some kind.
	So just be very cautious.
	Wherever you are, try not to stand out as the foreigner.
	Try to fit in.
	But here's the likely scenario that I see for those of us who are going to stay in the United States or if you're listening from the UK or some Western European country or even in Canada.
	Here's what I think we're going to go through.
	Months of infrastructure disruptions, that is, unreliable electricity, unreliable transportation, unreliable deliveries, unreliable fuel systems, right?
	All these kinds of things, which will cause a lot of social unrest, especially in the cities.
	The police won't even run them anymore.
	The police won't enforce much of anything.
	It would just be a free-for-all in many of the cities.
	The people that do well will be those who are far from the cities and who have some means of self-reliance or local redundancy in all the basics that we teach.
	You know, food, water, shelter, you know, communications, self-defense, medicine, especially medicine, all those kinds of things, right?
	But you know this.
	You know about all the basic prepping, although I'll give you a couple of reminders here.
	But distance from the cities is going to be absolutely key.
	If you're within walking distance from a city, that's a very dangerous place to be.
	If you're within bicycle distance, you're a little bit safer, right?
	If you're more than like a full tank of gas away from a major city, then you're in good shape.
	And it's almost impossible to do that anywhere on the eastern half of the United States, east of the Mississippi, because the density, especially on the East Coast, is so high.
	So in order to get more than a gas tank away from a major city, you almost have to be in the western part of the United States, Like way out in West Texas even somewhere or, you know, there are very rural parts of Kansas or Oklahoma or Colorado or Wyoming or Idaho or what have you, you know, or Nevada for that matter, even Montana.
	Even like eastern Washington's got some great areas or eastern Oregon or northern California, even sort of northeastern California.
	But you get the idea.
	Get as far away from the cities as you can and then have supplies to get you through what's coming.
	Expect the dollar to collapse, which means that whatever you have at the bank, expect it to become worthless if it's in dollars.
	Now, maybe it's not going to be actually worthless.
	It's just going to go towards worthlessness.
	Or maybe the banks have the bail-ins and then they say, hey, your deposit's safe with us, but we converted it to shares of the bank.
	Yeah, imagine that.
	Here's your shares and you can't cash them out except at this very limited, slow schedule.
	You can cash out like $500 worth of bank shares a month.
	And you might have had $100,000 in the bank.
	So it's like, it's going to take 200 months to get my money out?
	Yep.
	And of course, the bank ceases to exist in six months.
	So that's how it's going to work, right?
	So just be prepared to lose everything that you have in the banks.
	Be prepared for the possibility of investment houses going down or online brokerage accounts or Or any kind of online thing.
	Be prepared for possibilities of not just severe disruptions, but bankruptcies.
	So what are the answers to that?
	Well, obviously self-custody of things that hold value.
	Crypto is one of the things to consider, but there's a lot of volatility and there's a lot of regulatory uncertainty in crypto.
	I have now compressed down my silver video to about three minutes.
	To show you the different forms of silver and gold that pretty much represent what's available today.
	So I'd like to play that for you.
	I do mention some of the sponsors at rangerdeals.com.
	We've got the Prepper Bar.
	We're an affiliate of theirs.
	We've got Goldbacks as an affiliate.
	We've got Treasure Island as a sponsor.
	But this video is universal.
	It applies to any form of gold and silver or any source that you might be using to get gold and silver.
	Maybe you have your own family members that you've got an inside deal on or the inside track.
	I don't know.
	You can use my sources if you wish.
	I've vetted them.
	I trust them.
	They do what they say.
	Otherwise, I don't recommend them.
	But if you've got your own sources, this video is still going to apply and hopefully remind you of some important things.
	So let's roll that.
	It's just about three minutes.
	It just gives you a quick overview of different forms of gold and silver that are useful in a collapse scenario.
	All right, this is Mike Adams here.
	We're going to talk about all these different forms of gold and silver today.
	Let me give you my website, too.
	Some of these companies that offer these are sponsors, and we disclose the links and the sponsors and the discount codes at rangerdeals.com.
	So here you can see, like, here's the Prepper Bar sponsor.
	Here's our Lab Verified Gold Backs.
	Sponsor or affiliate.
	And then if you scroll down, this is our Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals company.
	And let's start over here with this pile of silver spoons and stuff.
	And yes, you could trade these.
	You know, in some kind of barter situation, but it's not a format that is easy to know how much it's worth.
	Next to that, we have so-called junk silver coins here.
	These happen to be dimes, and this is also called constitutional silver.
	But this is another form of silver that can be very popular.
	You can get these from our sponsor here, which is the right here, Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	Then you've got silver bars here.
	So this is.999 silver bar.
	I don't know, that's a pretty big chunk of silver right there.
	It's a way to store bulk silver.
	So not such a great form for everyday commerce.
	Next, we go to silver coins.
	So these are one-ounce silver rounds.
	They're quite beautiful and easily recognizable.
	These are available from different mints all over the world.
	If you want to get these coins, also, you can go to the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	They are a sponsor of ours, and you can check their prices in real time.
	They've got them available.
	Insured, discreet delivery straight to your door.
	Now, then the next one, this is the newest one, these are the prepper bars right here.
	So these are designed to where you can just break off a chunk like this.
	So it's divisible, right?
	And these Prepper bars come in this format.
	It's a plastic case with a very nice design of the Eagles on one side and then on the back it tells you how many ounces.
	And so this is available now at PrepperBar.com and you use discount code RANGER and you'll save 10% off of these bars.
	They also are selling gold bars in the same way.
	Where you can break them off and make them highly divisible.
	So this is useful in a collapse scenario or a barter or a, you know, farmer's market, local commerce type of scenario where you need to break down the metal and you need to make it into, you know, some kind of recognizable, divisible amount.
	That's a good way to do that.
	Alright, now, moving on, then we have gold coins over here.
	Obviously, these gold coins are worth, you know, a couple thousand dollars each, a little bit more.
	One ounce gold coins.
	But again, hard to break down because how do you chop one into a thousand pieces?
	The answer to that is these gold bags.
	And each one of these has one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold literally in it.
	It's embedded in the bill, and these are available at verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	So goldbacks make gold divisible, tradable.
	Again, if you want to know our sponsors and our sources or affiliates in this realm, go to rangerdeals.com, and you can see a lot of other special deals that we have for you.
	Just go to rangerdeals.com.
	And you'll see what we have available for you, the discount codes we've put together.
	Thank you for your support.
	Take care.
	All right.
	I hope you enjoyed that video.
	Now, the website mentioned there was rangerdeals.com, and that's where I am putting all kinds of discount codes for different offers.
	Offers there on ivermectin for pets.
	There's offers on chlorine dioxide from the Safrax company, which is – that is an amazing sanitizer, very important for any kind of a collapse scenario, especially if – stops working, huh?
	What do you do if you need to keep surfaces clean?
	What do you do if there's some kind of crazy, you know, Ebola monkeypox, AIDS, like, Flying aids, like ninja aids or whatever.
	Chlorine dioxide can help you sanitize surfaces and help clean everything against all those crazy pathogens and much more.
	Molds and fungi and also microalgae in water troughs or rainwater collection vessels or The containers that you use to provide water for pets, dogs, or in my case, I've got chickens and goats and donkeys, and I use chlorine dioxide in all those containers for the animals.
	But if you do that, make sure you know the proper concentration, because chlorine dioxide, it does create soluble chlorine gas in water.
	And you don't want to overdo that if you're allowing your animals to drink it, obviously.
	So just keep it at a low PPM. The Safrax website has instructions on that.
	But anyway, at RangerDeals.com, we've also got the Satellite Phone Store, SAT123, for backup comms.
	We've got BeReady123, For backup power, solar generators, battery storage devices, even some whole house battery systems with lithium-ion technology.
	We've got discounts on really great holsters, as well as body armor and firearms from ShieldArms.com.
	And quite a lot more there, so check that out at RangerDeals.com.
	And then finally, if you're looking for food, check us out, healthrangerstore.com.
	Storable, organic, lab-tested food.
	Lots of different formats, long-term storage, vacuum-packed, and we've got number 10 cans of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and miso soup and all kinds of amazing things, healthrangerstore.com.
	And thank you for your support.
	So the bottom line summary of today is that the global situation is unraveling very rapidly.
	I believe the most dangerous escalation right now is in the Middle East because of the actions of Israel's leadership, Netanyahu.
	I don't blame all the people of Israel.
	I don't blame all Jews.
	That would be crazy because most Jews actually despise Netanyahu.
	I don't blame anybody but the corrupt criminals themselves, which is Netanyahu and Gavir and the other leaders there.
	They want to start a war, and Netanyahu is a clever cat.
	He may be successful.
	I would not be surprised if before the election we find ourselves...
	With oil going to like $150, maybe more per barrel, with gold over $3,000 an ounce, some kind of war, an exchange of missiles between Iran and Israel, and then between Israel and Lebanon.
	I mean, I would not be surprised.
	That's exactly where it's headed, and I don't know what the role of the U.S. Navy is going to be.
	I mean, the Navy can only do so much.
	Launch some missiles, launch some bombing runs, and then what?
	And all the naval vessels there are sitting ducks.
	And I wouldn't be surprised if some of them get destroyed and end up at the bottom of the Red Sea.
	Like a future scuba diving tourist attraction.
	Look, this used to be a United States Navy aircraft carrier with 5,000 souls on board.
	And most of them are still on board.
	They're just really deep now.
	Sadly, the whole thing is, look, you see it down there?
	It's like deep diving tourism.
	I can imagine that.
	I know, it's kind of horrifying.
	I'm not wishing for that, by the way.
	Don't accuse me of wishing for that.
	Look, I want universal peace.
	I would rather see reasonable people prevail.
	Can't we just coexist?
	Can't we live as neighbors?
	Can we maybe trade goods and services instead of bombs and missiles?
	Huh?
	Is that possible?
	That's what I want to see.
	But sadly, that's not where things are headed.
	So be on the lookout for...
	Tragic things to occur.
	And then with this whole meeting, this DNC situation, you know, nearly 100,000, I need to comment on this, nearly 100,000 protesters now in Chicago protesting against the DNC. Have you noticed that the far-left protesters and Antifa have all now taken on the Free Palestine cause?
	You know, when Trump was president, it was all Black Lives Matter.
	Now it's all Free Palestine.
	In my view, this is not all organic.
	So there is an organic constituency to the Free Palestine Movement.
	That is, students or academics or immigrants or people of Muslim faith who live all across America who have a genuine desire to see Palestine be recognized as a nation and for the rights of the Palestinian people to be recognized and so on.
	I totally get that.
	On top of that, there is clearly some kind of globalist-funded, engineered expansion of the Free Palestine Movement, kind of a weaponization or an exploitation of it to have a whole lot more protesters and busloads of people brought in.
	Like masked Antifa wearers, but now it's all Free Palestine, Free Palestine, Free Palestine.
	So there's an element of this that is absolutely being deployed by nefarious forces to cause some kind of chaos in Chicago that I don't fully understand yet what they're going to do there.
	But they're up to no good.
	There's 100,000 people there.
	That's like...
	How many people are in a battalion?
	In a military battalion?
	I don't even know.
	Seems like that's a few battalions.
	You know, this is a military-scale force of people.
	100,000 people?
	It's like a couple of football stadiums filled with people, isn't it?
	And they're all there converging at the DNC that's put up all these walls and barriers to keep them out?
	I mean, I hate to even imagine this, but Is it possible that they're planning some kind of breaking into the convention and causing physical harm to people there or speakers or delegates or candidates?
	I mean, I pray that's not the case.
	I hope that doesn't happen.
	But what are 100,000 people going to do who are angry and the Democratic Party is not listening to them?
	What are they going to do?
	I don't know.
	I do know that Trump recently gave a speech with some American flags and some Israeli flags behind him.
	And he's clearly receiving a lot of money from some very wealthy billionaire Jewish people and who are obviously making requests of him.
	And he said a couple of things that caught my attention.
	He said that if he wins the presidency, that it's great news for all the Jews because then you will have the White House, he said.
	I mean, I'm paraphrasing closely, but you will have the White House, so the Jews will control the White House.
	That's Trump's promise.
	Very interesting.
	Secondly, he said he's going to arrest and deport anybody from the universities that hates Israel.
	And I'm thinking, even the Americans?
	I mean, where are you going to deport them to?
	I mean, I don't think you can arrest and deport Americans.
	Now, maybe he's just talking about students with student visas or what have you.
	And, I mean, I wouldn't disagree about deporting anybody who commits violence, like physical violence, but just...
	You know, chanting or holding a sign that says, you know, from the river to the sea or whatever.
	That's not an act of violence.
	That's traditional campus free speech, whether you agree with it or not.
	University campuses are supposed to be safe havens of freedom of speech.
	We saw it during the Vietnam War.
	And we should, of course, protect the free speech rights of Of not just Americans, but also students, as long as they are not violent.
	Now, if they're spray painting graffiti on the statues, arrest them for the graffiti.
	Charge them for defacing public monuments or what have you.
	If they're barging in the classrooms, arrest them and charge them for whatever is the appropriate misdemeanor.
	Interfering with a really boring college lecture and making it interesting for once.
	Maybe that's a crime.
	I don't know.
	I can remember some days of my economics classes where I wouldn't have minded somebody showing up and screaming something interesting because I was trying to stay awake.
	My economic professor had served in the, what was it?
	I think he served in the Nixon administration.
	He was all about guns and butter, guns and butter, and every lesson it was, oh my gosh, is this more guns and butter?
	And that was, of course, a lesson about economic choices.
	Should a nation spend money on its military or its food infrastructure for its own people, right?
	Guns and butter.
	But I could barely stay awake, so I wouldn't have minded an invasion of the lecture hall for a few moments.
	Anyway, look, I say that satirically.
	I don't condone violence, but a lot of college was really damn boring.
	I don't know if you've noticed this about me, but I learn at multiples of the speed of human speech.
	I can't sit and listen to someone teach me by speaking.
	I feel like I'm on a dial-up modem here.
	This is such a low-bandwidth activity.
	Please, God, save me from this.
	I'm a multimodal learner.
	I'll learn through videos and speed-reading pages and flipping through and outlines and summaries.
	And, you know, watching and listening and everything, you suck it all in.
	And then that's how I like to learn.
	I can't sit through a lecture.
	If you paid me to go back to college today, I don't care how much you offer.
	I could not do it.
	I could not sit through that again.
	Not a single class.
	Anyway, the bottom line is Trump has taken a lot of money from some pretty wealthy Jewish donors, apparently, and he's telling them, Your money's good here.
	He's like, you got whatever you need.
	If I have to move the embassy again or whatever, Trump is at the call of wealthy Jewish donors.
	So that's going to be interesting to see how that plays out, huh?
	What does that mean?
	You notice that all across America, During the Trump years when the radical left-wing protesters were losing their minds and going crazy, Antifa and Black Lives Matter, you notice that nobody lifted a finger, not any red state governor.
	They didn't do jack.
	No police did anything.
	Nobody did anything.
	But then when some students get all hopping mad and start having some free Palestine protests, all of a sudden it's like, police crack down, SWAT teams.
	You know, throwing students and staff to the ground and putting bags over their heads and whatever.
	Like, wow, you didn't care when it was all protests about Black Lives Matter and Antifa, but now suddenly it's about Israel.
	Like, oh, now you have police.
	I see.
	Okay.
	Now it has to be stopped.
	What does that tell you?
	So if Trump becomes president, expect an attack on the First Amendment.
	By the way, from the Trump administration, if you criticize Israel.
	We should be realistic about that.
	We should expect that in advance.
	But the good news is we won't be living under total communism.
	So it's kind of like, yeah, it's going to be bad.
	Either way, it is.
	But I'm still planning on voting for Trump because I cannot live under the communism of the radical left and...
	I think we can push back on Trump, and we can exercise our First Amendment rights, and we can probably hire enough attorneys, and we can win some court cases on that, you know?
	Hey, it's our right to criticize Israel's genocide.
	You can't make it a crime.
	We have the first freaking amendment.
	President Trump, you need to honor that, no matter how many hundreds of millions of dollars they gave you.
	Alright, so that's the talk for today.
	Kind of a reality sucks kind of talk right there for you.
	Not trying to be the bearer of bad news, just trying to lay it out straight.
	We're about to go into the collapse of this nation.
	So just plan accordingly, that's all I'm saying.
	Alright, let's jump into the interview with Montauk.
	And then the sermon on the other side of that, which quotes from Ephesians 6, again, detox from Satan's molecules using God's medicine.
	Enjoy, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	All right, welcome to today's episode of Decentralized TV hosted here at Brighteon.com, the free speech video platform.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	As you saw there, I'm in Texas, and we love Texas.
	And we also love freedom and liberty, and our guest today is a very, very special guest.
	But first, let me bring in my co-host, Todd Pitner.
	Welcome, Todd.
	Are you looking forward to today's interview, or what?
	Absolutely.
	Oh, man.
	You know I am.
	You know I am.
	This was referred to me by somebody within Telegram, and then as I started to research, I'm like, oh, my God, where's he been all our lives?
	I know.
	Mike, this is going to be amazing.
	I know.
	This is like the fifth guest we've had that once you learn about it, you're like, oh my gosh, how did I not know about this person before?
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	All right.
	Well, let's bring him in because he's got a lot to cover here.
	His name is Tom Montauk and his website is Montauk, M-O-N-T-A-L-K dot net.
	Welcome, Tom, to the show today.
	Hey, thanks, guys.
	Thanks for having me on.
	I'm really happy to be here.
	Well, we are thrilled to have you here.
	You got a cool background there with the Aurora going on.
	So maybe we can change ours.
	Hey guys, change mine to like a cosmic astronomical background.
	Then we'll match.
	Okay, we'll just do that real time.
	Hey guys, change my brick to pink and purple, guys.
	Change the color of the bricks.
	No, I'm sorry, Tom.
	We have fun here in addition to covering deep topics, and so thank you for putting up with us and our twisted sense of humor.
	But at Montauk.net, you cover a lot of fascinating topics, and let's start with a very basic one that I think our audience understands, which is that...
	Most people, even ourselves to some extent, we're not living in, quote, reality.
	We're living in perceptions and narratives.
	And many people, many people are living in such a twisted artificial version of reality that it doesn't even resemble.
	It has no connection to the real world.
	What would you say, Tom, about this whole movement right now where people are further and further away from reality with just everything's made up in their world?
	What do you call that?
	What do you say about that?
	Well, it's unfortunate because people are living in an alternate reality, essentially.
	And an alternate reality, well, what is it?
	It is something that is divorced from objective reality, which is kind of ironic because if you look at Hindu mythology and a lot of the Eastern traditions, they say that even what we call objective reality is ultimately an illusion.
	So how far gone do you have to be where not only are you removed from the greater source, but also from reality itself in this artificial construct that has been programmed into you by society, your biology, you know, media programming, school, everything like that.
	And unfortunately, nowadays, some people are so turned around that if reality ever does hit them in the face, it's going to be an extremely rude awakening.
	Well, I call it the Truman Show scenario that we're living in.
	Of course, reference to that movie with Jim Carrey from many years ago, where this man named Truman lived in this world.
	He didn't realize it was a giant studio set.
	It was a giant dome over him.
	And the stars were painted on the dome.
	And the sun and moon were all artificial.
	But they used fear to keep him there.
	When he tried to drive across a bridge to escape his town, they said, oh, there's been a radiation leak.
	Roads closed.
	Or he tried to sail across the water.
	They brought in the wind and the rain.
	You're going to die.
	You're going to drown.
	And then they programmed him with a story that his father drowned to make him afraid of water.
	Isn't that really almost exactly what's happening to many of us today as well?
	Well, it's interesting because you can look at it from different levels.
	You can look at it from the merely socio-political programming level where, for example, people are turned around on the ideas of, let's say, self-defense or what democracy truly means.
	A lot of people assume that democracy just means being the will of the people over everything, which is more like mob rule, democracy, but we really have a constitutional republic.
	That's right.
	A lot of people ignore that, right?
	But it can go even beyond the socio-political level where Once you get into the metaphysical fields of, let's say, synchronicity or, in Christianity, the idea of spiritual warfare, that's when you start realizing that the deception and the manipulation goes even beyond our social programming and goes straight into the level of The manipulation of probability and reality and thoughts and emotions and our beliefs at a very deep level.
	And that's something that some people simply aren't aware of.
	So that's what I love to cover on my website is a lot of the elements of what people would call spiritual warfare, how that works, how people can recognize it, how they can overcome it.
	But I mean, essentially, you know, the issue is that as conscious beings, when we are born here, we don't really come with a very strong frame of reference for what is true or what is false.
	I mean, there's a little bit of it that is inscribed in our spirit, you could call it, but so much of it is beat out of us through our social programming, and therefore by the time people become adults, they are just simply too held down and laden down by all their abuse and trauma and things that have been projected onto them by society in terms of what society actually wants,
	that they've lost their own innate sense of spiritual values, and therefore they end up betraying their own conscience, and towards the end of their life, you know, they end up regretting How much they have compromised themselves.
	So that's an unfortunate side effect of being here in this world that in order to essentially be almost like a video game avatar within a fake reality in order to have certain experiences and to interact with each other through these bodies, we end up losing so much of who we are.
	And so a big deal behind spirituality and spiritual education is simply remembering more of who you are and sticking to those values and then working with others to build those values back.
	Well, you took us in the deep end instantly right here at the beginning of the show, but thank you for that, Tom.
	Todd, it's your turn to jump in.
	Obviously, this is going to be a great interview.
	I can tell already.
	Tom Montauk.
	Wow.
	Montauk.net.
	And for those of you, I highly recommend you go to Telegram, and that's t.me forward slash Tom Montauk.
	M-O-N-T-A-L-K. So, first of all, I just want to say to our viewers, Mike, welcome.
	Welcome to Episode 1 of 125 with Tom Montauk because when speaking with Tom...
	One hour isn't going to get the job done.
	Heck, I think 100 hours is just scratching the surface.
	But hey, any journey begins with the first step.
	So, Tom, you break my brain.
	Welcome to the show.
	I have an opening two-part question for you.
	I mean, I'm sorry, a softball question, just to get things going easy.
	Okay, Tom?
	Who are the higher beings that created our reality, and when did the game get corrupted, and by what force?
	Wow.
	Is it a warm-up question?
	Oh, I was saving that for an hour later.
	Okay.
	All yours, Tom.
	Yeah, sure.
	So that is the ultimate question that even the Christian Gnostics were asking 2,000 years ago.
	And so the Gnostics, they were considered heretics because they didn't subscribe to the dogma of the Church at the time.
	But the thing about the Gnostics, though, is that they did a lot of their own investigations and their own research.
	And that way they were able to bypass a lot of the censorship and, frankly, propaganda that was being propagated by the early church elders.
	So anyway, so the Gnostics, what they believed, and this is something that's in agreement with Eastern mysticism as well.
	And even the Bible itself, if you look at the gospel and how they said that in the beginning there was darkness and God said, let there be light.
	So if you want to really zoom out to the ultimate level, you would pretty much have to assume that reality, based on all the evidence that we have, if you research the paranormal, metaphysics, spirituality, eschatology, Christianity, if you research all that, then you find that at the very beginning there was nothing but an infinite then you find that at the very beginning there was nothing but an In other words, the void or darkness.
	And from this darkness, there was contained within it already a field of consciousness, which we would call God, which is just infinite, loving, creative intelligence, but it wasn't yet fully expressed.
	And so in this point, in order for this infinite unified consciousness to experience more of itself, to experience its own infinite potential, it seems that it projected itself into an infinite variety of finite beings, which is us and other life forms, and we pursue an infinite variety of finite paths.
	Now the issue is, in order for this all to even have a purpose, in order for the infinite creator, for God to have a purpose in creation, There has to be some sort of novelty or originality to it.
	See, because the thing is, if God already knew every single thing that would ever end up happening, then there would be nothing new, and it would already be known the very moment God thought of it.
	So in order to have anything new, God therefore endowed beings with free will.
	And what free will is, free will is the option to do something that cannot be predicted ahead of time because it is truly yours.
	It is truly a free thing.
	So free will is the fundamental condition that allows novelty and originality and therefore adventure, excitement, risk, the entire shebang to happen.
	But here's the problem.
	If beings are given free will, then they also have the ability to choose against God itself or himself.
	They have the ability to go against even the greater good of others, or even themselves.
	You know, they can engage in self-harm, they can engage in exploiting others.
	And so the issue is, what God was projecting into, which is like the void, like darkness, unknowing, you know, the rest of unmanifested existence, It's almost like sometimes beings would choose that instead of the light.
	So they chose darkness instead of light.
	They chose to ignore their inner godspark and to ignore the godspark within others and to merely feed off others and take on the qualities, let's say, of matter itself.
	You know, the way of the jungle, the limitations of matter.
	It's almost like they incorporated it into themselves and therefore adopted...
	With the limited, programmed, dog-eat-dog nature of matter.
	And therefore, what should have been creations of God, children of God, it seems like some of them chose the path of darkness and predation.
	And this could have happened an extremely long time ago.
	And unfortunately, the others who did not choose that path, or maybe didn't evolve to the level of power that they had, they were preyed upon.
	So, for example, there are many myths talking about how On Earth, you know, humans were created, but at some point, either they became evil or other beings came in and corrupted them.
	So, for example, in the Garden of Eden, where the serpent entered the garden and tempted Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and then she convinced Adam to also eat from that tree.
	Now, the Garden of Eden myth is very interesting because, you know, you can take it literally or you can take it symbolically, but if you take it symbolically, Then what it speaks to is the idea that there was an outside negative force.
	In other words, beings that had taken the path of matter and darkness.
	And they did something that tempted us into basically going into their realm of leaving the Garden of Eden and entering a realm of, well, what the Bible says, which is knowledge of good and evil.
	And you can't really know evil unless you experience it straight up.
	So...
	When you're expelled from the Garden of Eden and you enter the so-called wilderness, then now you are in the realm of the beasts.
	Now you are in the realm of the jungle, the law of the jungle, dog-eat-dog.
	And so now, here we are as humans in this world where clearly there are good people, there are very predatory sociopathic, psychopathic people, as you all know.
	And in life, whether even in our own family or at work or even at school when we were kids, we were confronted with A very strong contrast between goodness and darkness, whether it's bullies, sociopaths, psychopaths, or people who ended up becoming good friends and were helping each other out, right?
	So the interesting thing is that whether we look within ourselves, within, let's say, our own ego or spirit versus our lower shadow impulses, or whether we look at in the world itself with the various elites that are in power.
	Well, some of them, you know, maybe they have good intentions, but a lot of them are not.
	You know, a lot of them have psychopathic, psychopathic traits.
	And even if you extend it further into the realm of ufology, so with the realm of alien extraterrestrial type beings, a lot of people believe that even amongst them, there is a dichotomy or a duality between the more positive and the more negative.
	So it seems to me that the schism between light and darkness, it originated very early at the very conception of this existence, of this reality, where due to free will, some beings were able to choose darkness over light for their own selfish interests because they were confused and ignorant, and they made a very strong profession or art form out of it.
	And they might have had eons, multiple eons, to perfect their art.
	And civilizations like ours are possibly under their manipulation to a large extent.
	Well, yeah, absolutely.
	Yeah.
	Sorcery at work.
	But you mentioned something in that, and by the way, thank you.
	We were both just fascinated by what you just said.
	It tracks perfectly.
	But let's go back to free will, though, for a second.
	Because...
	So much of Western civilization and what has become Western science is based on the mechanistic view of the universe which excludes the existence of free will because nothing is possible in their view unless it has a physical or biochemical cause, right?
	So it's very interesting to me that those...
	Again, this is also very characteristic of Western civilization.
	It hasn't been this way across most of the world for most of human history as we know it.
	But in modern Western civilization, the very people who claim that there is really no free will...
	And that consciousness is an emergent property illusion of complex neurology.
	They themselves are admitting that they are biological robots.
	So you have this entire segment of society that say, we believe in science.
	We trust the science.
	We're going to take the jabs.
	We're going to rule over you as the science priests.
	You have to believe in us, not God, not free will.
	They themselves think they are robots.
	What does that tell you about what Western civilization or Western science in particular has come to?
	See, that's a big question because my background is in physics and electrical engineering.
	So the question of free will, see a lot of people, they argue it on the basis of, let's say, philosophy and religion.
	Like, do we have free will based on that?
	But what I like to do is I like to go to the very deep down fundamentals, which is physics, and even deeper to the level of quantum physics.
	So earlier when I mentioned how free will is a quality that allows you to do something that cannot be predicted and therefore not be fully controlled, well in quantum physics it has been found that even subatomic particles like electrons or protons or photons, okay, even subatomic particles Their behavior simply cannot be predicted.
	Even like one little particle, they can't predict exactly what it will do next.
	Superposition too, yes.
	Yes, right, right.
	Because these particles exist in a state of superposition, which is almost like when you have a choose your own adventure book and you have the book just sitting in your hand.
	Right.
	Well, that book, all the different outcomes are in superposition.
	It's not until you read it and you get a particular pathway through all those possibilities.
	So likewise, even an electron is in a state of superposition between different possibilities, and that's all that they can calculate.
	They can only calculate the probabilities of what it might do, but not what it actually will do.
	The orbital clouds, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, exactly.
	Precisely, yeah.
	And the reason why I bring this up is because even quantum physics admits that not everything can be predicted, and so therefore not everything is absent of free will, or not everything is Mechanistic.
	Mechanistic, deterministic.
	Exactly.
	So if they can't even say that everything is deterministic down there, then how can any biologist or these atheists say that our brain, which is basically a quantum computer antenna, is therefore a deterministic machine when the thing that it runs on, which is quantum physics, is itself non-deterministic.
	They're not even going deep enough to look at their own science to make it fit.
	And that's just one level.
	And there's a whole other level of that.
	Which is that free will is an expression of a non-material soul simply interfacing with the biochemical brain, but it's the non-material that drives the brain's action as a result of the, let's say, spiritual or soul decisions or inspiration, creativity, artistry, even the words we're saying right now.
	These can't be predicted.
	Not accurately.
	I mean, statistically, perhaps, but not accurately.
	Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to get at, which is that even in quantum physics, when they say that they can't predict it, what they mean is they can't predict it based on physical causes.
	So they know all the physical factors that might go into it, but they don't know what it'll do next.
	Why?
	Because there is another factor that is non-physical that is influencing the outcome.
	And they don't want to go there.
	See, some physicists do.
	They admit to, okay, consciousness is the thing that makes it actually happen.
	But a lot of them want to take that atheistic route because that's a more politically correct thing to do within academia.
	And that's the reason why I actually got out of academia.
	I didn't want to go into it because I didn't want to go into that highly politicized field where you have to jump through hoops and compromise truth principles just for the sake of sucking up to the collective consensus.
	That music to our ears.
	Right, Todd?
	For anybody who needs a little bit of translation from the last five minutes, I can give it to you because that's what I do.
	And that is that, look, guys and gals, if you want your personal meat puppet to work, you've got to have a soul, which my...
	Tom kind of explains Joe Biden, does it not?
	Well, we have to have a discussion about non-player characters, because we use that for NPCs.
	I know, that was going to be my next line of questioning.
	As Mike knows, I have a very dim view on the population at large.
	And I really do believe in the NPC theory.
	But he lives in Florida, just for the record.
	So Florida man, that's talking about his neighborhood.
	That's right.
	There are two species of us humans.
	There are playing characters and non-playing characters, and I know you know what all of that is.
	But I want to get your take on it, because for me it just seems like my operating reality, my video game that I'm That my overlord, you know, I'm the next version of my overlord's prototype, to use your words that I've heard you say.
	You know, I'm his advanced finger meat puppet, if you will.
	And he keeps putting quarters in the game of Todd, and as I'm...
	I don't know if he's playing or if I am empowered to play this game.
	I feel like I am a playing character In this realm, in this game, but I deal with so many people, and 2020 sparked my recognition that I believe that there is another species out there,
	and I'm kind of kidding, kind of not, that are non-playing characters, meaning they're just programmed by the TV or whatever forces there are in nature, but I don't believe that they critically think...
	And others I know critically think.
	And I just want your take on that.
	Am I just being too harsh?
	Or could that be, Tom?
	No, this is actually something that I... That was one of the things that kicked off my website back in 2001, 2002, when I really got into the subject of what we nowadays call NPCs, or non-playable characters, which are people who are highly scripted, highly programmed.
	They can't think for themselves.
	They can't critically think.
	They only repeat the herd mentality.
	So that's what we call NPCs.
	But I was researching sociopaths and psychopaths in college back in 2001, 2002.
	And when I was doing that, not only did I find psychology articles on that field, But I started getting to very interesting esoteric and occult literature as well, including the ancient Gnostics and what they believed, about how there were three different categories of humans and how the bottom category, which they called Hilux, were people who is exactly what we're talking about.
	People who are only interested in materiality, who cannot think for themselves, who don't seem to have the spark of free will, to be honest.
	They don't seem to have a spark of higher intelligence within them.
	But you see, the interesting thing is...
	They can have PhDs.
	They can be intelligent, but they don't have something else.
	There's something else missing.
	So did you say that these types of people are called Hilux?
	That is something that the ancient Gnostics believed that there were these people called Hilux, which they called them Hilux.
	- Who were people that were associated with matter, okay?
	And then the next level of people up, they called psychics.
	Not like clairvoyant psychics, but more like people who were based in the mind.
	And then the highest level they called the pneumatics, 'cause pneuma means spirit in the ancient tongue.
	And so they divided humanity into three different levels.
	And the bottom level is essentially what we call NPCs nowadays.
	So even 2,000 years ago, they were already recognizing it.
	Wait a minute.
	In America today, we have a level beneath the Hilux.
	Maybe it's the Lolix, but it's way beneath.
	I mean, we've got just mindless meat puppets like Todd was saying, like...
	Programmable life forms.
	I don't know what these people are, but even when, like, they've abandoned all reason and rationality, and I don't mean, this isn't just, I'm not talking about, you know, political persuasions or whatever, but logic and reason, you know, like, oh, men can have babies, you know, or let's mutilate these children and call them, you know, progressives, or what, it's like, why, why What?
	What?
	No, exactly.
	And that brings up a really good point because you would expect that if someone were merely, let's say, a meat puppet, how they didn't have a higher component within them, if that was all that they were, then they would merely be a product of, you know, some social programming, but a lot of biological programming, so evolutionary programming that would be running on their biological scripts, maybe only seeking to, let's say, reproduce or accumulate wealth or just focus only on materialism because, I mean, that's what survival is from the human standpoint.
	But they go beyond that, right?
	I mean, they go into the level of almost demonic destructiveness.
	Yes.
	Which requires a malicious kind of intelligence.
	So maybe it's not that they have that malicious intelligence.
	Maybe it's that they are being driven by a malevolent intelligence.
	Well, so you're talking about, in the Christian world, demonic possession.
	Yes.
	Yeah, demonic possession.
	So, you know...
	The thing is, you can have, let's say, a famous author, professor, a doctor, scientist, someone who has been groomed from an early age by what we would call demonic spirits or demonic beings.
	And it bends their minds in a certain way where they end up rationalizing that sort of viewpoint, and they become instruments of these dark powers, right?
	So when they get these positions of prominence, whether being a scientist who gets quoted a lot in these studies, then they become very influential within their field.
	And that's one way that this alternate reality that we started out talking about can get founded.
	It gets founded by these portals or entryways into society that are ultimately being steered by beings that are not necessarily human.
	Wow.
	This totally reconciles with scripture, Mike.
	I mean, you know, I took that five-year deep dive into biblical exegesis, and at the end, I kind of want to comment on that, because I wanted to ask you some questions, but to me...
	The God of the Bible, you know, if God wrote a book, I think we should read it.
	And if God is this omnipotent, all-powerful, all-knowing being, I think he has the capacity to divinely inspire a written word, a playbook.
	I don't believe that's too far beyond my God, anyway.
	And so I want to talk about that in a little bit, but with what you're saying about this Other beings, negative beings, could be demonic beings.
	Have you done any study of Genesis 6 and the fallen angels and all of that?
	Because to me, what you were saying at the beginning, so reconciled because basically it's God breathed into existence all life and it was good.
	It was very, very good.
	But then there were some of those beings that decided they wanted to be God.
	And they opted to turn things bad and were admonished, reprimanded, kicked out of heaven, if you will.
	But, for whatever reason only God knows, they run this realm, I guess.
	Scripturally, this world is theirs.
	So, I personally believe that the evil...
	People in this world that I perceive to be evil, Tom, that they are heavily influenced.
	However they open that door to the demonic realm, I believe in demons.
	But I also believe in the good guys.
	And I'd just love to know from you how much...
	What influence do the bad guys and the good angels?
	I mean, do you see a lot of angelic intervention, Tom?
	Because I've been seeing a lot of the demonic intervention, but I just can't wait for the white hat angels to show up, Tom.
	Come on, Tom.
	Right.
	So, you know, it kind of goes back to the question about if God is so good and so powerful, then why does evil exist?
	Right?
	That's a whole study within religion itself.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	And the obvious answer is that there is free will.
	So as I mentioned earlier, if beings are created with free will, then they can turn against creation.
	So it's not God that's to blame.
	It's the creations themselves who chose to turn against the rest of creation.
	They're the ones who did it out of their own free will.
	And within the myth or the story, it could be factual or it could be mythological, of the fallen angels, At some point, they grew proud, they grew jealous, and they wanted to be the crown of creation themselves, but they weren't.
	So there was an element already of division in there, and when we talk about jealousy, envy, something like that, that is ego, essentially.
	That's what ego is, right?
	So you could say that ego is the cause of free will choosing against the light.
	And the reason why that is is because ego is itself a false construct.
	It's the idea that you are completely separate from someone else.
	And so therefore, it's not a big deal if you manipulate them for your own gain, because at least in your own mind, you are the king of your own realm.
	So you're the only one that matters to you.
	That's how a lot of these beings think.
	They think that they're separate from everything, and the world is theirs to take.
	But try as they might, they always bump up against that ceiling of the true divine framework, and they can't go against it, so that incenses them even more.
	And so they develop a chip on their shoulder against divinity itself, and they seek to destroy it wherever they can find it.
	And that's why a lot of these dark forces, they go after children and babies and infants, because the more innocent and the more pure it is, the closer they perceive these beings being to God.
	So since they can't attack God directly, they can still torture and attack and kill God's children.
	So, Tom, I mean, truly fascinating.
	I've been teaching sermons lately.
	I've put out several sermons.
	I've been doing over 100 days.
	And my view is, and again, we're here to have your reaction and your knowledge to all this, but my view is that people's view of God is way too small.
	And one of those, like, your background is in physics and electrical engineering, I think you said, right?
	Well, I went to college, my first semester in college was as a double E. And I've said in my sermons that the table of elements is the expression of the mind of God.
	And in fact, you know, the orbital clouds of electrons and the characteristics that create gold and silver or platinum or whatever, these are expressions of God.
	And much of the history of physics is simply trying to solve the riddle of the laws that God put into motion, right?
	Strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, what have you, right?
	And the same thing, chemistry is the study of God's interaction of molecules, or astronomy is the study of the way God engineered the heavens to move.
	And so I think God is much bigger than what a lot of people seem to think.
	And even the Old Testament, God speaking to the Israelites, right?
	And Exodus, the whole chapter, or the book of Exodus, is dated to around 1400 B.C. Well, guess what?
	At that same time, there was also India civilization.
	There was Chinese civilization.
	There was Mesoamerican civilization.
	Why didn't God talk to those groups?
	If he created everything, where is God talking to the other groups?
	Is it possible he did talk to those other groups, appearing as other wise men or other beings of knowledge to them, speaking in their language?
	Like, can God appear in different ways to different people, in other words?
	Yeah, absolutely, because if you think about it, if you have an infinite creator, okay, infinity, There's no way a finite mind can understand infinity without infinity somehow having to filter itself down to be comprehensible to the finite mind.
	And so if it's your finite mind as, let's say, an ancient Israelite, it would have to be filtered down into what your Israelite mind can understand versus an Indian mind or a Mesoamerican mind.
	So the filtering process is what puts a face on the infinite.
	But of course, that leads to wars when all these different groups think that their God is the God and the other ones are all fake, right?
	Right.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	And especially the ancient Israelites would say, well, our God told us that he is the one and only God.
	Therefore, your God is our enemy.
	Right.
	What if it's the same creator being expressed in different ways?
	I mean, Todd, I hope I'm not offending you with this talk.
	I don't think I am, but some Christians would be offended by this, by the way.
	I think it can all be reconciled, frankly, but that takes more than a cursory glance, you know?
	But I think you're right.
	Well, again, I just think that people think of God in way too small of a measure.
	And they don't think about the cosmic interaction.
	And, you know, Tom, you were talking about quantum physics.
	And quantum physics gets into the multidimensionality of our reality, right?
	So it's not just what we see here, but even information inscribed in atomic physics exists in multiple realities simultaneously.
	So God didn't just create this one universe.
	He created an infinite number.
	Right.
	Exactly.
	So it's like, why would you want to limit the conception of God down to a small little template that fits your particular culture when it's almost like you're making God smaller than God actually is?
	You know, it's kind of an affront to the infinite goodness and power of divinity to say it can only be one place at one time in one particular way.
	Now, here's the thing.
	It might be possible that some cultures, what they thought was God was actually something else.
	I mean, for all I know, it could have been a demon or people who believe in aliens.
	They might say it was an alien or something.
	And the people at the time having a more unsophisticated culture, they might have mistaken that as a God, right?
	So it might, so their God might not necessarily be the same as the Israelite God, unless you find commonality in the values and behaviors expressed amongst all these different divine figures, right?
	Because if you take the God of the Bible and you boil all the qualities and traits, all the good traits, especially in the New Testament, if you boil that down to the good traits, you can find those traits in other cultures as well.
	And it seems like that then, therefore, is the different masks for the same higher divine intelligence.
	Whereas if you have a more demonic being, then you would find demonic qualities expressed in its values, regardless of what the name given to it is by these ancient civilizations.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And do you believe that there are extraterrestrials in our cosmos that have visited Earth and have interacted with either ancient or modern cultures?
	You know, to be honest, I do.
	And the reason why I say that is because that's how my path started.
	So when I was a child in Germany, I had a number of paranormal experiences as a kid.
	And it wasn't until later when I started reading all the books in my local library that I realized that they were very likely some...
	Something that wasn't purely, it wasn't necessarily demonic, and it wasn't human.
	It was something in between.
	So something that had a non-human biology and was physical and could actually take me out of my apartment as a child in Germany, take me somewhere else and bring me back, was abducting my mom as well.
	And it wasn't spiritual.
	See, when I was a kid, I had other paranormal experiences.
	I had ghosts.
	I had a giant shadow figure standing behind me one night that scared the crap out of me.
	I had these things, and so I could tell the difference between the more non-physical paranormal phenomena and then this other thing, which was more technological.
	Now, I know, see, there's a lot of debate about what these so-called aliens actually are.
	Some people believe that they're nothing more than demons, whereas others believe that they have a little bit more sophisticated view, which is that they are demons or let's say fallen angels who very long time ago, they figured out how to create meat suits for themselves.
	So they started genetically engineering different races of humans, or not humans, but humanoids to serve them.
	So, what we call aliens nowadays are merely the vessels or creations of these fallen angels.
	So, therefore, they're not identical to the kind of demons that you would encounter under your bed or in the closet at night.
	You know, it's not like that.
	It's something that's more physical, more tangible, and that has a natural presence underground, you know, other planets, other star systems, because that is the extent to which this evil has spread.
	Now, there is, I mean, even the Vatican Church kind of started going down this route where They basically said that, yes, aliens are real, and when you have humanity, let's say humanity right here in the middle, and you've got demons way down here and you've got angels way up here, well, there's another class of beings that are in between humans and angels and humans and demons.
	And so this middle class is what we would call hostile aliens or positive aliens.
	I have a lot of research.
	I'm a ufologist as well, besides being into science and other topics.
	I've studied the subject extensively, and in my personal opinion, I do believe that there are things like aliens and that they overlap the demonic realm, but not in a one-to-one kind of way.
	It's more like a Venn diagram.
	We've got one circle here, one circle there.
	So there's some overlap here, but they also have their own unique traits as well.
	And this isn't really something that you can pick up on unless you do a lot of research, like reading different cases, compiling case after case and extracting all the data in ufology and doing the same thing with demonic possession and hauntings and so on.
	And then you start realizing that, yes, there is a connection between the two, but they're not identical.
	So I found that interesting.
	So a quick follow-up question, and then Todd, I'll turn it over to you.
	I'm sorry for this, but something comes to mind very quickly.
	There were reports many years ago of so-called UFOs or aliens deactivating nuclear weapons.
	Mm-hmm.
	As they were launched, right?
	So that would qualify in that in-between sort of angelic extraterrestrial category that you just described, which is maybe quote aliens or whatever they are that have a sense of stewardship over Earth.
	Is that potentially accurate?
	That is potentially one view.
	There is some debate on that.
	See, on the surface, that's what it looks like, right?
	But when it comes to these beings, especially like, as you know, with demons, they are princes of deception.
	They know how to lie very well and to project false images.
	So when these beings, which we call aliens, you know, because they're non-humans and they've got advanced technology, when they disable, let's say, a nuclear missile, is it because they feel they're doing the right thing?
	Or is it because that's the image that they want to project?
	That the idea that they are somehow interventionists who will one day, if World War III kicks off, and right now it's getting very close to that, but when it kicks off and the nukes start flying, if these beings come in and they disable as nukes and they save the world from nuclear annihilation, well, if they were deceiver beings pretending to be positive, if they were deceiver beings pretending to be positive, then that would work very much in their favor to come off as these saviors when they could, in fact, be imposters.
	So when it comes to ufology or even like occult matters like demons contacting a person and pretending to be, I don't know, some particular deity or deceased family member, something that's perceived as positive even though it's actually a demonic being, we can apply that same thing to aliens as well.
	In that we have to differentiate between genuine positive types, if they exist, and the negative types that are merely pretending to be positive.
	Like Justin Trudeau?
	That's a good example.
	And remember during the Obama years how his campaign was all about hope and change.
	He got the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing.
	I mean, that whole manufactured image is a taste.
	It's a taste of the kind of deception that these beings would use.
	And there have been certain TV shows and movies that have portrayed this, like They Live or the V miniseries from the early 80s, for example, where these extraterrestrials, they show up and they give us new technologies.
	They come in peace, supposedly, but...
	People discover that there are actually non-humans in disguise and they're very hostile and they're only putting on a fake smile as any con artist or psychopath would do.
	Sociopathy and psychopathy, it's not limited to the human realm, obviously, because even in occultism we know that demons are the embodiment of non-physical evil, of non-physical sociopathic and psychopathic traits.
	But we also find it within the alien ufology field as well that a lot of these beings are And you can't really trust what they say or what they do.
	So, Tom, do you know Mike and I, we coined the new word this last year because we did a little bit of research on You know, some psychopaths and some sociopaths, and we recognize that there are some people who actually carry the characteristics of both.
	So what do you think about this?
	We came up with the name, with the descriptor, Maxiopaths.
	Does that ring with you?
	That's pretty good.
	Maxiopath.
	That's the cream of the crop right there.
	Hey, Tom, I can't remember what I ate for dinner two nights ago.
	And from what I understand, you remember your first week of life in the nursery.
	And you, as I understand it, you were out of sorts back then because you knew you had a very specific path in life ahead of you and a path that was leading to the light.
	Tom, we try to be constructive and bring solutions on this show, so I'd like to discuss how do we find our intended paths of life?
	You know, the paths that allow us to float downstream instead of always struggling against life's currents, Tom?
	Right.
	So, you know, it's one of those things where you have to...
	There's this ancient saying, which was written on the temple of Apollo, I think, or was it the temple of Delphi in Greece, which was, know thyself.
	You have to know thyself in order to really know what your true values are, in contrast to the values that have been foisted upon you by this alternate reality that we live in, this fake reality construct, right?
	Because...
	When you come here, as I mentioned earlier, you do come here with a set of values that is inscribed within your spirit.
	A lot of it gets overwritten by our social and biological programming and all the traumas that we could put through in life and then, of course, the media propaganda that tries to ram it down our throats.
	But in order to really know who you are, there's really no other way to do it than very deep soul searching.
	You know, you can, I mean, just starting out, you know, you can just get a notebook and write down all the values, all the things that make you happy in life that you truly resonate with at a soul level.
	And based on the list, you can start deducing what you're really here to do.
	See, because some people, if they got a list that has to do with, let's say, oh, helping people, helping them heal, guiding them emotionally, nurturing them.
	Well, that puts you on the path more on the path of a healer, for example.
	Whereas in my case, if I were to make that list, my list would be exposing darkness, understanding how darkness works, and giving that knowledge to people so that they can not be taken in or fooled by a lot of these methods.
	Because a lot of suffering in this world is due to just simple naivete.
	See, a lot of people don't realize the extent to which evil exists in this world and the way that it can disguise itself and the way that it can play tricks on the mind.
	So anyone who's familiar with the Christian concept of spiritual warfare understands this.
	They understand the way in which we can be internally, internally Tempted, subjugated, if we're not careful, be led off the path, right?
	Yeah.
	Right, so a lot of these, once you know that and once you can see it, then you can do something about it.
	And the more free you become, the more you're able to help others free themselves.
	So, of course, you always have to help yourself become more empowered before you can do the same for others, because otherwise you're trying to help from a position of weakness, which doesn't really well work, you know?
	Do you think, Tom, that our spirits that were kind of pre-programmed, that were hardwired to where we have a path in life that's towards the light, and of course we get off that path, but there are so many times that I find when I try to push the river, so to speak, I'll try an initiative, maybe it's an entrepreneurial endeavor, and it's just like I keep hitting a wall, you know?
	And I shouldn't be, I think.
	I shouldn't.
	But then there are other times where I'm not even trying, and things just are so easy peasy.
	Is that kind of what you would counsel, that we pay attention to those signals from the universe and start to note where it's easy peasy and where we keep, you know, just failing?
	Yeah, right, because there's always a golden path into the future.
	So, of all the different probabilities that you could take into the future, some of them are going to lead to a dead end, just like in a Choose Your Own Adventure book, where it ends only halfway through the book because you fell down a well in the book or something, right?
	And then there's other paths that lead all the way to the end, in a happy ending.
	And, see, we have...
	Some innate abilities within us, for example, conscience, empathy, what makes us truly happy, intuition, which all feeds into discernment and wisdom.
	So the more experience you gain in listening to your intuition and your Intellectual judgment and merging the two in a way that makes sense and brings results, the better your inner wisdom becomes and the further you make it, you know, the happier the ending essentially is.
	And also earlier, when you brought up the topic of, you know, are there positive beings, are there positive angels helping us out?
	Well, that is one way that they do it.
	They do it through very subtle means.
	Why?
	Because they respect free will as much as they possibly can.
	So, most of the time, they're not going to show up in our lives the way that some of these dark forces or aliens do, trying to push over our free will and violate it.
	No, they don't do that.
	They are very mindful of it.
	They want us to develop to our full potential on our own strength as much as possible, and then they pick up the slack whenever we can't really meet it.
	So, the whole idea of meeting God halfway or God helps those who help themselves, well, That idea is encoded in the very ethics or philosophy that these positive beings follow, which is that you respect someone's free will, and you help them out in very subtle ways, and if the person chooses to listen to their intuition, to listen to the signs, to listen to their inspired judgment, you could say, then it's like the divine working with the human element hand-in-hand toward a positive outcome.
	So yeah, we definitely do have to pay attention to the subtleties, especially our inner voice.
	Because it's not just our own judgment.
	It's actually, a lot of times, it's higher things that are speaking into us, into our hearts.
	And when they speak into our hearts and we listen to our heart, then that way we can hear them.
	You listen through your heart.
	That's how you hear the voice of God, essentially.
	Could this explain...
	The notion of reincarnation to where if you are living a life and you're collecting the good, the bad, the ugly, and whatnot, and then let's just say reincarnation existed, somebody put another quarter in your game, and you're able to go down the path again, but this time we seem a little bit smarter because it's almost like we've been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, not going to go down that path.
	We're going to go down this path.
	Then maybe you get a little further in life.
	Could that, because I heard you talking about reincarnation, I was just fascinated by the analogy that it's kind of like a game, and you called it, I believe, Overlord, like my Overlord's prototype, his advanced finger puppet, and he keeps putting quarters in the game of Todd.
	And so, is that reincarnation, Tom, in your point of view?
	Well, I'd like to point out, you know, that even within Christianity, in the very early days, there were certain scriptures that had reincarnation in it, but it didn't fit the rest of the consensus at the time.
	It was left out of the Bible, so that's why within the Bible you don't really find too many hints or notions of reincarnation, except for maybe like Elijah and Jesus and just some controversy surrounding that, right?
	But other belief systems like Hinduism, they're all about that, and Buddhism and so on.
	And certain Native American beliefs also deal with transmigration of the soul, which is another term for reincarnation.
	So the way that I put it is that imagine...
	Imagine that your true beingness, your true beingness is, I think you called it Overlord, but I think in that source that I talked about, I think I called it Oversoul, but same thing.
	Oversoul, yes, Oversoul, correct.
	Yes, so the Oversoul, imagine it's like a hand, okay?
	And the hand has individual fingers, and it can dip a finger into 3D reality, be born as a baby, live as a life, and then after death, it extracts from the body and then unifies back with the hand.
	And then in the next life, it takes all the things that it has gained from the prior life, the wisdom, the strength, the lessons learned, the way that it changed, and that element of it, and it uses that to project, let's say, another finger into the next life.
	life.
	So this next finger then dips down, has a life, and so on, right?
	And with each iteration, this hand becomes increasingly more spiritually luminous, more wise, more strong, more able to resist the challenges that even matter presents.
	So it's a way for, I think it's a way for the projections of the infinite creator, which is what the hand would be, to explore itself in even more diverse ways by projecting little fingers or projections into human life form.
	So, you know, it's not that necessarily that you, Todd, or you, Mike, are the sole projection of God.
	It might be that you are more the projection of a projection of a projection that is here right now, but it all traces back, you know, it's like maybe you're the stream of a tributary of a river of an ocean.
	But it's all consciousness.
	Well said.
	Let me jump in here and just remind our viewers of your book.
	It's called Gnosis, or one of several books.
	This one, I think you're best known for this book.
	Gnosis, Alchemy, Grail, Arc, and the Demiurge.
	How do you pronounce that?
	Yeah, Demiurge, that's correct.
	Demiurge, okay.
	A Gnostic treatise on spirituality and so on.
	And alien technology.
	So that's available at Amazon and booksellers everywhere.
	In addition, montauk.net is the primary website where people can connect with you.
	Now, I've been dying to ask you this question.
	Well, since we're talking about reincarnation, I shouldn't probably say that.
	My overlords are...
	That's an ominous term there to bring in, Todd.
	Oversoul.
	What about altering the rules of the matrix through conscious intention?
	So the power of speech, right?
	So here we are.
	Let's say we're in a simulation.
	We are a projection of a great mind of the creator's soul personified in this tiny slice of the bigger existence.
	But we are not powerless, obviously.
	Not only do we have free will, but don't we also have some ability to imprint upon reality around us?
	And isn't it true that the power of the spoken word, even as expressed in the Bible, is one of the ways that that is achieved?
	And in my own life, I've found that if I draw something on a piece of paper, if I draw it out, It becomes real.
	I can't tell you how many times I've done that with projects and things.
	It becomes real.
	What are some ways that you're aware of, Tom, that we, as gifted conscious beings, as expressions of creation, that we can alter the world around us?
	Yeah, it's actually divided into three different main categories.
	So at the very lowest level, we have just pure physical action.
	So when we talk about speech...
	On the physical level, that merely means education or lobbying or activism or writing a book, you know, something like that.
	But that's only like the lowest, simplest form of it.
	Because you can go a step further, and in this step further, you can essentially use the power of your own consciousness to influence probability, to influence what comes at you in life itself.
	Now, I will say as a disclaimer on that, that if you go down this path just Too far, without watching yourself, without incorporating divine wisdom, it turns easily into black magic.
	And that's what magic is.
	That's what black magic is, and casting spells and curses and sacrificing an animal to make it rain or something like that, or a virgin or something, right?
	Those things, that's all within the sphere of, you could say, using life force energies and conscious powers to manipulate And there are only very limited use cases where doing this is okay.
	I'm not talking about sacrificing animals.
	I'm talking about, for example, let's say you're very downtrodden in life, very financially challenged, and one day you just had enough.
	You know, your back is against the wall.
	You've had enough, and you push your foot down, and you say, I intend to get out of this misery.
	I intend to have a life where I can be happy, where I can be happy, be rich enough to help other people, to be a good person, you know, to be my true potential.
	See, that's coming from the heart.
	That's your spirit kind of planting its flag and saying, I will be light.
	I will be Not the darkness.
	I will be my true self.
	And when you do that, that has also a magical impact on reality, but it has a positive impact because you'll start noticing that opportunities will then start coming your way, if it's the right thing to do.
	Opportunities will start coming your way.
	Helpful people, maybe inspiration, maybe divine signs, you know.
	The divine will reach down because, why?
	Because you have exerted your free will in a positive direction.
	And because they respect free will and they realize that you are trying to move out of darkness and restriction into a life of greater happiness, they will work with you.
	I mean, they'll work with you subtly.
	They'll work with you subtly.
	Yeah.
	It's just like when a dad wants his son or his daughter to build something or ride a bike and be proud of what they do without being coddled and overly sheltered.
	They want the child to grow into their own power.
	And likewise, these higher beings want us to grow into our own power that is in harmony with the divine will.
	Because that is the expression or the activation of the God spark within us.
	In terms of overcoming a lot of the programming and darkness that is in our lives.
	So that's like the second level, where you've got this direct conscious influence over reality, which, you know, it works.
	And then the next level up is where you essentially petition help from higher positive beings.
	And that's what prayer is.
	See, a lot of prayer is communion between you and the higher divine powers.
	And depending on your sincerity and what you're asking for, or what you're The level of atonement or conscience that you are expressing, they work with that and they can guide you towards a path that is more in line with your request for higher help.
	Are you familiar with the prayer of Jabez?
	No.
	What is that?
	Oh, man.
	Everybody should research the prayer of Jabez.
	What you just said is what this guy Jabez did way back when, and he petitioned God, and he said, God, expand my...
	Expand my land, you know, because it was all about land, and I will become a good steward and serve you based upon your guidance.
	And God did just that.
	He answered in spades.
	It's really, really, it's really uplifting.
	So people who are looking for kind of a 101 on how to do it, just research the prayer of Jabez.
	Yeah, that's really powerful.
	And even in the Lord's Prayer in the Bible, when people ask Jesus, you know, how should I pray?
	And Jesus said, well, pray like this, and then he gives the Lord's Prayer.
	Well, the thing about the Lord's Prayer is, it's not that you have to repeat it verbatim, like every single word is, you know, it's not like an algorithm or a ritual or formula.
	It's more the emotion behind it, the idea, the intention behind it.
	In other words, for example, gratitude, requesting protection, requesting guidance.
	Those are the things that matter the most.
	And the reason why that matters most is because, Mike, when you were talking about the power of speech and the power of the word, well, here's the thing, I mean...
	There's, beneath just verbal words, there is also the conscious idea and intention behind it, right?
	Absolutely.
	And that's where the power comes from.
	Exactly.
	The intentionality behind the words, yes.
	Exactly.
	And that level is non-verbal or telepathic, you could call it telepathic.
	But you force your brain to go through that process when you choose to form words.
	Yes, exactly.
	Right?
	Right.
	Unless you just mumble the words ritualistically, which in the Bible, I think, didn't they say, like, don't pray like those other ones do, that just mumble the words, you know, over and over again?
	Just mechanistically, yes.
	Exactly.
	But this is really powerful, what you're saying.
	And one of the conclusions that I've come to over the years is that there is the multi-modality effects of intentionality.
	So the spoken word, so that's one form, but also artistic expression.
	What if you drew, like I described moments ago, if you drew your intentionality on paper, through art, or whatever form of expression.
	Some people do that through dance.
	Some people do that through sculpture, right?
	But also, you know, if you visualize, right?
	So I'm talking about multi-modality prayer, in essence, which forces your mind to simulate and, I think, broadcast your intentionality through various modalities.
	Does that make sense, Tom?
	Absolutely.
	Yeah.
	Now, it's just using different language.
	So, for example, if you look within the field of magic and occultism, I don't mean like dark black magic occultism, but just like regular...
	Neutral occultism, you could call it neutral magic.
	They have this idea of sigils, and sigils is a drawing that captures the essence of your intent.
	So there's already a term for that sort of thing.
	Oh, there is.
	Oh, okay.
	It's not limited to the field of occultism and magic because, for example, in Christianity, especially Catholicism, you know, when you cross yourself, what are you doing, right?
	You're making a sign.
	You're drawing an intention for protection.
	Yes, kinetic movement is another mode.
	And just, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but just for the record, for the audience, I'm not into weird ritualistic black magic or whatever.
	I don't draw pentagrams on the floor with candles and sacrifice goats and whatever.
	No, I have goats, and I would never harm them.
	They're so innocent.
	But...
	It's a very important distinction that you say.
	Like, all of these things can be used in darkness, or they can take a person and thrust them into a dark expression, or they can be used in good through prayer and through things that are aligned with our Creator.
	Exactly, because darkness, you know, there's this famous saying that darkness can't create anything original.
	It can only pervert and invert and corrupt.
	And so a lot of what the darkness does is an inversion or a corruption or a false extension of things that are otherwise neutral or good.
	So for example, within religion we have prayer, right?
	Well, within some of the dark arts, instead of prayer, it's more like curses and spells.
	But it's similar in that it uses words, but it uses them from a dark place towards dark ends in the wrong way.
	But just because they do some of that doesn't mean that therefore prayer is evil.
	It just means that it's something good that has been corrupted in the sense of these dark.
	But if you are a person who focuses on projecting curses, then doesn't that necessarily also change you?
	You become the darkness that you project.
	Right, exactly.
	I mean, you can even tie this back into quantum physics.
	For example, with the idea that consciousness, the observer...
	So when a little particle, which is all these different possibilities, turns into just one single possibility, your consciousness had an influence on how that exactly happened.
	Well, you can scale that up to the world at large, where you've got this world of infinite possibilities, and what you project out into it, the quality of your consciousness, the quality of your beliefs, your assumptions, your inner emotional climate, all those things that are being projected outwards, starts affecting the How the world goes for you and for others as well, right?
	And the more that you corrupt it with your own energy, the more that corruption will come back at you through bad experiences and bad people and dark entities that feed on this energy that you're putting out.
	So you get back what you put out is what I'm trying to say.
	This is absolutely brilliant.
	So the world, the complexity of the world exists in a state of complex superposition.
	And you as the observer, you collapse the superposition possibilities into the reality that reflects what you put out there.
	Exactly.
	And see, the key that scientists miss is that when they talk about the observer collapsing the wave function, they don't really get into, OK, well, what kind of observer or what part of them is doing it?
	Because if you go into psychology, you've got the ego, you've got the subconscious, you've got the conscious mind, the subconscious.
	We're really talking about the subconscious.
	The subconscious is what does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to affecting probability and affecting what comes at you in life.
	So that's why your subconscious beliefs and your subconscious projections and darkness or hopes and dreams, those are the things that are the engine that fuel your, what do you project at a very deep level and therefore what you get back.
	Very, very powerful.
	Hey, I have a question.
	Yeah, I have a question.
	Again, we want to be constructive here.
	Do you have any quick tips for dealing with negative entity issues?
	Anybody who's kind of feeling some oppression on themselves and they don't necessarily can't put their thumb on it, but they know that there's some kind of an attack in their lives?
	Yeah, for sure.
	So I've gone through it myself, especially Earlier in life, when my life was really taken off in many different directions, so because my life was more in flux, therefore entities had an easier time nudging me this way or that, because I wasn't as wise to their tricks back then, right?
	So basically what I learned to do is one of the things I learned to do is to simply lay down, almost like taking a nap, and then just focus on a positive idea or a particular prayer and just kind of meditate on that more and more and more.
	And therefore, I would start aligning with that end goal.
	Now, there are other ways of dealing with negative entities like clearing your home using incense or frankincense or burning sage.
	It's called smudging.
	You can look up smudging.
	And all that does is really, it's almost like activated carbon, which absorbs bad odors.
	Well, this is like smoke that absorbs the toxic energies that these entities put out into your home to make it more amenable to their presence.
	You know, it's kind of like a fish.
	When you take a fish out of water, right, it's exposed to air, it can barely breathe.
	But if you just pour water on the fish, then therefore it can be more comfortable.
	Well, these entities, when they come here into our world from their dark astral dimensions, they have to saturate the local space here with their dark energies in order to feel more comfortable.
	So if you get rid of that field that they kind of terraformed your room with using smoke or incense or things like that, then...
	They find your home more corrosive and they have a harder time maneuvering and doing things to you.
	So you can do that.
	You can also, if you're spiritual or religious in any way, you can petition higher forces, whether it's angels or the Holy Spirit or Christ or God, to help you clear your local space of these dark entities.
	Now, there's one catch to that.
	Well, actually, there's two catches.
	So one catch is if you have zero faith, And you petition for help, almost with a level of skepticism, like, this is not going to work, this is a bunch of bunk, then it's not going to work.
	Because you don't have the access card to divine help, because you don't even have a connection to the divinity within yourself.
	So you've got to kind of elevate yourself up and have the faith in it.
	Have the goodwill, the sincerity, the humility to call it down, and then it'll help you.
	So that's one.
	And the other is that, you know, Sometimes dark forces get at us because we have certain spiritual vulnerabilities that we've opened up through bad decisions, really bad thoughts, maybe cursing other people, revenge fantasies, you know, a lot of these...
	Addiction.
	Addictions.
	Yeah, you know, like porn addictions, drug addictions, alcohol, whatever.
	If you do too much, you get these weaknesses.
	And so therefore, it's almost like the divine allows these dark forces in in order to give you a wake-up call.
	So, once these things start happening, another good thing to do is to analyze your own behavior over the past, let's say, couple weeks.
	Was there anything that you've done that might have invited it in?
	Did you start doing some weird meditation stuff?
	Were you in a very depressive, angry state for a long time?
	Because all these things, they open up little windows or portals into your soul, into your reality, and then these things can have an easier way with you.
	So if you get yourself cleaned up internally, and you petition higher forces for help, and you might do some cleansing of your home with a smoke or incense or frankincense, something like that, then that's like a three-component way of dealing with negative entities.
	And I would say that that probably takes care of maybe 80% of cases.
	Because I get emails from time to time from people who have entity issues.
	Some of them have it very easy.
	Some of them have it very severe, and so there are other steps which are more involved and more difficult to deal with the more severe cases.
	I'd just like to add to this because I've interviewed in the past, I interviewed a Catholic journalist who has been present at many exorcisms in the Catholic Church.
	And I also interviewed another man, another author, who worked in the jail system in California, and he discovered that the truly demonically possessed prisoners could never utter the name Jesus Christ.
	Like, he would offer them cigarettes and food.
	He's like, just say Jesus Christ.
	And they're like, they couldn't say it.
	But anyway, the Catholic exorcist guy...
	Maybe we'll interview him again, but he said something very important.
	He said, the power of the exorcism doesn't come from the words.
	It comes from the integrity of the exorcist person.
	That person has to live a holy life.
	That person has to be committed to the scripture and his faith.
	And that person can't be like, you know, banging the choir boys on the side.
	Because then the devil's like, ah, you're a joke, you know?
	So it's like, if you've got these entities or demons in your life, isn't it also a reminder to, like, look at your own life?
	If you want to have power in your words, like, you know, demons be gone, then you need to also maybe look at where you have those vulnerabilities.
	I mean, you mentioned this, Tom.
	Where are you leaving vulnerabilities where entities can sort of enter your consciousness?
	Exactly.
	Right.
	Because I would say probably 90 percent of things are probably due to our own projections, our own personal weaknesses that is inviting the stuff in.
	However, there is a remnant 10%, I would say, where even if you do everything right, that doesn't mean that demons or negative entities cease to exist in reality altogether.
	It just means that now they're like wolves that are circling your home, but they can't get in.
	They can't get in.
	It's like pathogens.
	Yeah, exactly, right.
	It's like pathogens.
	You might have a really good immune system, but From time to time, you might still get a little infection here or there, but those are still little tests.
	You know, it's almost like making sure that you stay on your toes and you stay on the path.
	Right.
	One question, just the flip side of that, how do we align with positive forces to garner their protection, Tom?
	So, one of the key elements of that does have to do with your own quality of being.
	In other words, are you doing your share of the work?
	Okay.
	Because there are certain things that they can do, only that they can do, and there are certain things that you yourself can do.
	So as I mentioned, watching your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotions, trying to clean that up, having more holy thoughts and more holy feelings is one of the most effective ways, because then you are essentially aligning with them, harmonizing with them more and more, and they have a much, much easier time reaching you in life.
	Because here's the problem.
	If you don't do that, then you're actually fighting them.
	If you're just caught up in a very deep depression with a lot of self-loathing, for example, then you're essentially using your subconscious to attack yourself.
	And you're basically jabbing yourself in the heart and in the face with a figurative knife.
	And then they're supposed to come along and help you in that state.
	It's very difficult for them to do that.
	So the more you work with them, the more they can work with you.
	That's pretty much all it boils down to.
	Guys, it's funny because this is the first day that I put the Archangel Michael on my desk.
	Oh, wow.
	Not that I worship idols or anything, but this is a reminder that, you know, here we go.
	Yeah, there's a shot of the statue of Archangel.
	Now, how badass is this guy?
	He's got wings and a sword and a shield, right?
	And he's also the protector, but also helps protect health.
	So I consider him to be like a health-freedom Champion, at least that's my interpretation, but so much more.
	But, you know, there are white hats, right, in the angelic realm.
	There are, I think, entities that want to help us if we are aligned with their desires.
	I mean, let's have compassion.
	Let's express humanity.
	Let's encourage others to maximize their joyous experience of life with abundance and health and brilliance and creativity.
	All these things, which are all mentioned in the Bible in one way or another, too, right?
	I think that if we are aligned with those principles, we will get a lot of help.
	That's my take on it.
	Oh, for sure.
	And it's funny that you bring up the Archangel Michael figure, because the archetype of Archangel Michael is so important.
	Why?
	Because it's not just...
	I mean, as you guys very well know, modern Christianity has been tranquilized to a large extent, where the idea of meekness and submission...
	It has been played up way more than it should be.
	If you actually read the Bible and research the ancient history and wisdom and so on, They weren't meek.
	No, they weren't little fluffy bunnies.
	No, of course not.
	They were not.
	So the Archangel Michael archetype is what you want to connect with if you're of the Christian faith to kind of counter that programming, that tranquilization.
	Because he's not woke, man.
	Look, he's like, I have some bubble gum.
	No, I came here to chew gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.
	He's like...
	We're going to kick some ass against evil, right?
	Hey Mike, I can't tell, but does Michael have long hair on that statue?
	Yeah, he's got long hair.
	So do you think Michael would go ahead and compete in the Olympics as a woman?
	Women's boxing team?
	I think he would clean up in any category, frankly.
	But...
	We're just joking around, but Tom, what you say is so true.
	It's time for us to stand with strength in our convictions and beliefs and to defend them.
	Not to just roll over.
	There is so much evil in the world right now.
	The psychic overlords that we were talking about earlier, they're real and they're preying upon people and they run our institutions.
	They run our governments, our schools, our pop culture, media.
	And what's her name?
	What's the music woman, popular music woman that's got all the concerts?
	What's her name?
	Oh, Taylor Swift.
	Yeah, Taylor Swift, right.
	Like Demon Swift.
	Swift Demons, I think, is what that is.
	Right?
	So she's just obviously a creature of Satan just out there brainwashing people.
	But we've got to stand firm in our convictions here to stand up for what's right.
	At least that's my take.
	Yeah, I believe the same thing.
	I mean, that's sort of my main thing in life is to deal with the darkness.
	And to expose it and to help people wiggle out from under its claws.
	That's sort of what I do.
	Well, God bless you, Tom.
	Tell me this.
	Tell me this.
	Because I have listened to some of your talks on synchronicities.
	For me, why is it every single day, or if I have to go to the bathroom at night, it's 3.33.
	I look at the clock.
	I swear it's been that way my whole life.
	What's that about, Tom?
	Well, I mean, think about it.
	If you're asleep and dreaming and you see a particular symbol, what does it mean, right?
	It's a communication from either another part of your own intelligence, like your subconscious, or it's a communication from some other intelligence entirely.
	It could be divine.
	It could even be departed loved ones, for all we know.
	Maybe they are sending us signs.
	See, I think it varies from person to person, and the only true way to figure out what yours mean is to log it And then to pay attention to the surrounding circumstances, like what you were doing around the time, maybe what's coming up in your life in the next 12 to 24 hours.
	So for me personally, if I get numbers like 333 or 444, I only ever get them when things are going very well.
	Like I'm actually...
	I'm centered within myself and in tune with the higher parts of my soul.
	I'm in the flow, you could say.
	I'm in the flow.
	I'm doing good.
	Everything's going well.
	Everything's working out.
	It's almost like green lights.
	I can literally go on the road, get green lights the entire way to wherever I'm going on the same days that I'm getting these numbers.
	It's all part of the same thing.
	It's almost like reality is aligning in a strange way.
	But there's other times where I might get other numbers or other signs that are almost like bad omens.
	And sure enough, sure enough, something happens.
	It could have been like a close call with a car accident or an argument with someone or a financial loss or accident, you know, twisting an ankle or something.
	So I might get warnings ahead of time for that.
	So because these things tend to be either giving me a heads up or in response to something positive, for the most part, I believe that they are positive signs and I take them as such.
	All right.
	That's great.
	That's great wisdom.
	Now, I just want to thank you for your time.
	I know we've gone way over, but this has been a fascinating discussion.
	I can't believe how much time has gone by.
	So let me just plug your website here again.
	Montauk.net is the site.
	And also, there it is on screen.
	There.
	Yep.
	Like magic.
	Shazam.
	There it is.
	Okay.
	Montauk.net.
	And then the book here on Amazon, Gnosis.
	This is one of the books.
	Just search for the author Montauk.
	And, Tom, I really want to thank you for taking time with us.
	Do you have any final words you'd like to leave our audience with?
	Well, I just want to say that I do believe that we are in a battle between darkness and light, and the higher forces are counting on you to do your part, to distinguish between the darkness and light within yourself, and to therefore align with the light within you, which is actually the true self within you, and to kind of stick to your true values and your true principles and to fight for what you know is right.
	Hey Tom, I started with a layup question and I'm going to end with one.
	How do we win our individual game of life, Tom?
	The only true way is to follow not just your mind and not just your heart, but to follow them in combination.
	Because we've been endowed with both by the Creator, right?
	so we have to use all the tools all the tools that we have been given and none of the tools that have been artificially foisted upon us the false values that the graphs of society that tell us you know we should only ever chase materialism or only ever chase this or that which we know deep down at a level of conscience isn't actually what we're here to do right so the more you know yourself and the more you use your innate abilities meaning your heart and your mind together the better things That's great.
	Thank you.
	You are awesome.
	And can people see why I started by saying this is one of episode 125 with Tom?
	I mean, right, Mike?
	We didn't even get into simulation theory, which I really want to talk about.
	And also for a future episode, I want to talk about extraterrestrial AI tech.
	Because, right, there's so much to cover here, but Tom, I think your work is extraordinary.
	I'm going to read your book, and I think I love the depth that you've gone to to think about these issues, and I think people can find a lot of wisdom and inspiration in this.
	You're helping to decode the matrix for people so they can navigate it.
	Exactly.
	All right.
	Well, many thanks, Tom.
	Yeah, you rock.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	You do indeed.
	Have a great day, and thank you for joining us.
	Thanks a lot.
	Good talking to you guys.
	All right.
	You too.
	Cheers.
	Bye-bye.
	All right.
	Stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back after this break with the after-party discussion.
	So it's going to be interesting.
	We'll be right back.

	Welcome to today's sermon.
	I'm Mike Adams, and today we are going to be talking about detoxification from Satan's molecules.
	Now, what do you mean by the name Satan's molecules?
	Well, you know how we're talking about molecules that God puts here on this planet through Mother Nature, expressed through plants and herbs and foods and superfoods, all kinds of amazing, miraculous nutrients all around us in nature.
	I call those God's molecules.
	And those molecules are designed to protect us.
	Remember I said they're kind of like the armor of God at a molecular level, or the molecular armor of God, Ephesians 6?
	And even mainstream nutritional science calls these molecules neuroprotective, right?
	Protects the neurons, protects the brains, or hepatoprotective.
	It protects the liver or cardioprotective, protects the heart and the circulatory system, or they may protect other body organs or body systems through a variety of means.
	Many of them have antioxidant function, for example, and they're called antioxidants.
	There are all kinds of alkaloids, all kinds of amazing nutrients.
	Well, So all of God's molecules protect and support healthy biological function.
	Whether that's at the cellular level or the organ level or the organ system level, they protect, support, and enhance your biological function.
	Satan's molecules, most of which are synthesized by mankind, we'll get into this.
	It's kind of interesting.
	Satan's molecules have exactly the opposite.
	They disrupt, they interfere with normal human biological function, they cause destruction and disease rather than health and abundance.
	So for many of these molecules, such as for example synthetic pesticides, Or herbicides like atrazine, there is no dose at which it could even be therapeutic.
	So atrazine, for example, is always a molecule of Satan.
	At least that's the label I'm using here for convenience.
	We're going to put it in the Satan's Molecules category.
	But there are other molecules that can be toxic at high doses, but therapeutic at low doses.
	And for example, we talked about apricots in a previous sermon.
	And apricots contain vitamin B17 in the pits, or what's called laetrile.
	And laetrile is widely talked about as a kind of natural, targeted chemotherapy that has cytotoxic effects to kill cancer tumors selectively in the body.
	So in other words, yes, laetrile is toxic.
	And if you eat a bunch of laetrile, you could die.
	But when that toxicity is targeted to cancer cells, cancer is an expression of a satanic kind of lack of organized division at the cellular level.
	We'll cover that in another sermon.
	But you could say that there's a satanic influence in the chaos or the lack of organized communication in cell division, and this gets expressed as cancer, and there could be many different causes of cancer.
	For example, exposure to arsenic, a heavy metal, in toxic well water.
	We talked about that, but many other causes of cancer beyond the scope of this sermon.
	Nevertheless, The cytotoxic effects of this molecule in apricot pits can selectively kill cancer cells even though it's deadly in much higher doses.
	So where do we put that?
	Do we call that God's molecule or do we call that Satan's molecule?
	And actually, that's in a middle ground.
	We call it natural medicine.
	These natural medicines must be administered under the shepherding of someone who is familiar with these medicines, familiar with the proper doses, and has wisdom and experience in knowing how to treat patients using these natural substances. and has wisdom and experience in knowing how to treat So there are some substances that you can consume in essentially unlimited quantities, as much as you want.
	For example, fresh apples, let's say, or most of the fresh fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds that are out there.
	You can't really overdose on, you know, salads and tomatoes and bananas and pears.
	Why?
	Because you'll get full.
	You'll get full or you'll just get, quote, sick of that food and you just won't want it anymore.
	You know, what happens if you eat apples every day?
	Your body's going to tell you, hey, stop eating apples because you've had too much.
	I'm sick of apples.
	This is internal communication.
	It's actually wisdom of the body telling you to go eat something else because your body needs something else beyond just apples.
	And I'm sure you've experienced this, we all have, where have you eaten the same food over and over and over again?
	Maybe the first time you ate it, it was super delicious, but then the third time or the seventh time or whatever, it's like, oh, I'm sick of that.
	That's your body telling you to go get something else.
	So for foods, it's almost impossible to overdose on some kind of nutrient or slightly toxic nutrient found in the foods.
	For medicines, most of the medicines that come from nature have a very bitter taste or an offensive taste of some kind that tells your body, hey, don't eat this in large quantities.
	So, for example, the apricot pits compound, laetrile, if you were to chew one of these apricot pits, you would say, oh, that's really, really yucky.
	I mean, I do not want to eat a bunch of these because they just taste horrible.
	And that's very accurate.
	That's the way that nature is supposed to work.
	And if you actually go around and you taste wild foods, and I just want to exercise caution, don't eat mystery mushrooms, by the way, because they can kill you.
	Even if they don't taste bad, so just be very careful around fungi and mushroom identification is its own science.
	Don't be an adventurous noob when it comes to just plucking mushrooms.
	Hey, this looks delicious.
	Let's eat it and see what happens because you might die.
	But for most of the leafy vegetables and also many of the, even the fruits and so on that are out in nature, a taste is We'll usually, but not always, but usually it will tell you this is some kind of medicine not to be consumed in large quantities.
	And in fact, the Native peoples all over the world, Native American Indians, indigenous Aborigines in Australia, Amazonian Indians in South America, and so on, They had the wisdom to know that there are a series of tests about wild foods.
	If they encounter something that they don't know what it is, then there's a series of tests.
	Like, how do you determine if some wild plant is toxic or not?
	And just briefly, I'll explain the way that they did it.
	Native Americans use the same thing.
	First, they would take the plant, chew it, And kind of, you know, get their saliva mixed with it, absorb a little bit of it in their mouth, and they would spit out the plant, and then they would wait.
	Wait a few hours and see if you start to get dizzy, if you feel faint, if you feel nauseated, if you feel sick, if you have sweating, right?
	All the symptoms of poisoning.
	But in this case, you haven't swallowed the plant.
	You've just swallowed a little bit of the juice of the plant.
	And as native people realize, you'll probably be okay.
	Again, I'm not suggesting that you go around eating everything that you can find if you don't know what you're doing.
	Today, there are lots of wild plant identification tools available.
	There are apps on mobile phones.
	There are books and so on.
	So yes, use the wisdom of humanity today.
	If you attempt to be adventurous, make sure you know what you're eating.
	I'm just saying for indigenous people that did not have those answers, there was a natural way to determine whether these plants were, you know, God's medicine or Satan's medicine.
	Like, you know, healing medicine or poison.
	By the way, if you survive that then, if you survived eating or chewing on the plant, then the next step would be to eat a little bit of it.
	Or sometimes they would make a tea concoction, just a water extraction of the plant, drink the tea, and see how they felt.
	Then eventually they would eat a little bit, a very tiny amount of the plant, wait a few hours, see how they felt.
	And this was a methodical approach.
	It actually makes sense.
	And you'll notice that modern pharmaceutical medicine, which is rooted almost entirely in Satan's molecules, but there are exceptions to that, For example, ivermectin comes from soil microbes.
	So that's not really Satan's molecules.
	That's a therapeutic medicine that was provided by God and nature through soil.
	But now it is replicated by pharmaceutical companies.
	But it's still the same molecule as the soil microbes.
	So ivermectin is actually medicine.
	I would not put that in the category of Satan's molecules.
	It's very therapeutic.
	But most pharmaceuticals are designed to poison you in some way.
	For example, some of the weight loss drugs that we've talked about, they poison your nerve, your vagus nerve, so that your stomach doesn't empty.
	They paralyze your nerve.
	Some blood pressure drugs, in essence, paralyze part of your heart muscle tissue so that it doesn't pump as vigorously.
	And then this can lower blood pressure.
	And since they call high blood pressure a disease, then lowering the blood pressure, they say it's a treatment for the disease.
	But of course, the blood pressure itself is not really the problem.
	It's not the disease.
	It's usually a problem of what I call sludge blood.
	So someone's blood is not flowing enough.
	Sometimes they're just dehydrated.
	They're not drinking enough water.
	Other times they're eating a lot of toxic seed oils or hydrogenated oils or other substances, a lot of fried foods, for example, that can cause their blood to flow like molasses.
	So of course you're going to have higher blood pressure.
	If your blood is flowing like molasses and just taking blood pressure pills to poison your heart, that doesn't solve the problem in the blood, does it?
	So we'll get to some of those topics later on.
	But Satan's molecules are usually synthetic, and Big Pharma specifically puts them in capsules so that you don't taste them.
	Now remember how I said that your tastes...
	If you're out tasting herbs or plants or whatever natural medicines, your taste is a strong indicator of whether this is something that is safe to consume as a food or maybe you should have caution with that.
	Now remember that your sense of taste and your sense of self-awareness, your closeness with your own heartbeat, your own state, your physiological state, are you sweating?
	Are you dizzy?
	How's your breathing?
	How's your pulse?
	This is something that, you know, it's an expression of the gift of life that God gave us, and yet most people ignore those things.
	They don't check their pulse.
	They go to a doctor.
	Doctor, check my pulse.
	Doctor, take my blood pressure.
	Doctor, tell me if I'm sick.
	Doctor, you run the test.
	You draw the blood.
	You tell me.
	Hey, you know what?
	Sure, there's a place for that, especially in emergency medicine, but there's a whole lot that you can do yourself if you just pay attention.
	Traditional Chinese medicine does pulse analysis, which is incredibly beneficial, filled with information about the state of your vitality, your energy flow, your heart health, so much more, just from your pulse alone.
	But you can tune into your pulse with two fingers on your carotid artery underneath your neck.
	That's a very simple thing to do.
	You should be able to feel your pulse and to know, is it racing or is it normal?
	This should be a normal, common thing to do.
	You can tune into whether or not you feel dizzy, whether your heart rate is elevated, whether your respiration is elevated.
	How do you feel?
	Tune into yourself and don't think that only a doctor can tell you how you feel.
	And then pay attention to your taste sense when it comes to whatever medicines you are taking.
	If you're taking pharmaceuticals, by the way, Have you ever tried to taste them?
	Have you ever taken a pill if it's a capsule and opened it up and just tasted a little bit of what's in the capsule?
	If you have done that, you'll probably remember that it was horribly tasting.
	Well, that's an indication, isn't it?
	It's an indication that it's some kind of toxin, usually is the case.
	And so be cautious about those things.
	They're put into pill format in order to bypass your sense of taste, which is actually one of your body's defenses against poisons.
	Now, for the verse today, I should have mentioned this earlier, we're going to go to Ephesians chapter 5, which you may say, what?
	That's about like wives and husbands and purity and things like that, walking in love.
	Yeah, it'll all make sense.
	We're going to tie it together, but it'll be verse, well, we'll start actually at the top.
	We'll start with verse 1 in chapter 5.
	But let me give you a little bit of background.
	So Paul the Apostle, He spent, obviously, many years traveling around and teaching the people of different cities, such as Corinth, from which we get 1 and 2 Corinthians and so on.
	But this was the city of Ephesus, or, I mean, it's pronounced different ways.
	I like to pronounce it Ephesus, because that's consistent with the name of the book Ephesians, right?
	So the Ephesians are the people of Ephesus, right?
	And again, I know not everybody pronounces it that way, but we can pronounce it however we want, right?
	This is our congregation.
	We can say it however we want.
	But here in chapter 5, it says, And walk in love.
	He's saying follow God's teachings.
	Try to imitate what God has taught you.
	And walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us.
	A fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
	Okay?
	Very clear.
	Walk in the teachings of Christ.
	Verse 3, he says, but sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you And of course, my reaction is, well, that sounds like no fun.
	We can't have foolish talk from time to time.
	I love a little bit of foolish talk.
	And yes, we'll throw out slightly filthy limericks from time to time, not in these sermons, but in my other work.
	I do have a very strong sense of humor.
	And I'm not afraid to throw out a little kind of on the edge, a little bit of filthiness humor from time to time because laughter is medicine.
	We'll talk about that another time.
	But anyway, he's talking about the priest class here, you know, the ministers.
	But more importantly, he's saying, don't engage in sexual immorality or impurity.
	Now, there are a lot of impurities that end up in your blood through perverse sexual acts.
	For example, sodomy and some homosexual acts and so on.
	Anal intercourse, sorry to be graphic, but exposes you to things that should not be in your blood.
	And this is why many of the most crazy autoimmune disorders of our day, such as HIV or AIDS, as it's called, tend to occur among people who engage in those kinds of practices because their blood becomes very filthy.
	And when your blood is filthy, as we've talked about many times, then it's very difficult to walk a spiritual path because you have all these impurities, these toxins in your blood, and it's altering your mind.
	It's compromising your immune system.
	It's compromising the tissues of your body.
	So detox, which is the subject of today's sermon, is implied through this chapter of More again later here.
	But it is implied in many cases throughout the Bible.
	The washing of the feet that Jesus carried out.
	The baptism.
	Water.
	Washing over someone and washing away their sin.
	What does that symbolize?
	Well, water is a solvent.
	Water is a chemical solvent.
	It is the most common solvent on the planet.
	And as a solvent, it can absorb and put into solutions Satan's molecules or toxic chemicals, and it can wash them away.
	This is the act of bathing, to wash the toxins off the surface of your body.
	And the act of sweating is to take toxins that are in your skin and push them out to the surface of your skin.
	So sweating followed by washing is a kind of baptism.
	It removes the, quote, sin of Satan's molecules from the surface of your skin.
	I don't know if you've ever thought about showering and bathing in that light, but that is exactly what it is accomplishing.
	And remember, what's in your blood ends up in your tissues, and then what's in your tissues can end up being exhaled through your breath or pushed out through sweat or eliminated through bowel movements and urination.
	So there are multiple routes of toxic elimination and every one of these routes in a healthy person functions normally and routinely to remove toxins from your blood.
	But the best way to not have toxic blood is to not expose yourself to these toxic blood situations.
	In other words, Don't engage in filthy sex acts.
	And, you know, the Apostle Paul warns about this in Corinthians, 1 Corinthians, I believe, as well.
	And many other places throughout the Bible, Old Testament as well.
	You know, don't engage in filthy sex acts.
	Well, why?
	This is why.
	Because it contaminates your blood.
	So in verse 5, Paul writes, For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous, That is, an idolator, someone who worships idols, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
	Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
	Now, by the way, if you read more of Paul's work, you'll notice that Paul moves to an area for a few years, teaches the word of Christ, It gets a lot of people excited and joining the church and becoming more moral and more Christian, you could say.
	And then he moves away from that area, goes to another area, and then the initial area slides into apparently like sex orgies and prostitution and homosexual acts and just immorality and filthiness and so on.
	And then he has to come back to that area and remind them, like, what have you done?
	But isn't this also sort of a cycle of human behavior?
	That sometimes people, when they come to God and they experience the gifts of God, the bountiful nature of God, good health, you know, abundance, the gift of families and so on, the gift of community.
	And then they forget that God gave them that, and then in their wealth, especially material wealth, and in their power and in their arrogance, then they go crazy, and they just start having crazy, perverted sex acts, and typically that ends up in all kinds of abortion killings, and then in some cases child sacrifice, and in some cases pedophilia.
	You can imagine all kinds of evil things that I mean, all the evil that exists today also existed back then, you know, in the time of Ephesians and long before that, you know, in the time of Jeremiah, as we covered in previous sermons, and again and again and again throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament.
	So it's like humankind just keeps drifting towards filth and perversion and immorality and deception.
	And it's people like Paul, and obviously Christ himself, but God's vision, God's words through Christ and his disciples that has to keep reminding humanity, hey, stop being filthy.
	And that is a detoxification theme.
	It's a spiritual detoxification in the Bible, but it also refers to the blood.
	It refers to behavior.
	It refers to the body, mind, and spirit.
	The detoxification has to happen at multiple levels in order to be effective.
	So he continues in verse 7, Therefore do not become partners with them, for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
	Walk as children of light.
	For the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.
	Now, this is very important because he's reminding everybody that before Christ, you were all sinners and you had to carry the burden of your sin.
	Or even in your own lifetime, if before you allowed Christ into your life, you had periods of darkness, you had sin, you made mistakes, you were darkness, says Paul.
	But now that Christ has entered your life and on a broader perspective that Christ died for your sins, that you being all of humanity, by the way, that now you can walk with a different life.
	You can walk as children of light, which means, of course, truth and righteousness and God's presence moving through you.
	And that the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.
	I love the fact that they use the word fruit here because, of course...
	I'm enamored by the foods mentioned in the Bible, but the fruit of light, right?
	So in other words, here we are equating, in essence, fruit and the abundance of food and nutrition with the light of God shining through you.
	Note that when God refers to or when Paul refers to fruit, it is a positive Christ-like thing.
	It is abundance.
	It is nutrition.
	It is health.
	Nourishment and detoxification.
	And that's true physically and scientifically because fruit contains pectin fiber.
	Most fruits do.
	And the pectin fiber functions as a broom in your digestive tract and it brooms out heavy metals, pesticides, toxins, all kinds of cancer-causing chemicals that are in the food.
	And this is why I've told people many times, In my other podcast as a food scientist, I've said, look, if you go out and you eat, let's say, barbecue.
	Well, the barbecue, let's call it barbecue brisket or ribs or something.
	Barbecue, because of the way that fats are burned and charred during the barbecue and the smoke that penetrates the meat in the barbecue.
	And by the way, I love a good brisket myself from time to time.
	Maybe once every few months is kind of my frequency.
	But that meat contains cancer-causing chemicals because of the smoke and the burning.
	And there are literal cancer-causing chemicals created during that process.
	Well, so how do you protect yourself from that?
	Well, there's a concept that I've come up with many years ago called defensive eating.
	And defensive eating means that you can still eat the barbecue and But at the same time, you eat something else with it that protects you from the cancer-causing chemicals in the barbecue.
	And in the case of barbecue, guess what that would be?
	Well, a raw coleslaw or raw cabbage in coleslaw or fruit.
	But cabbage contains anti-cancer nutrients that That are part of the cabbage family of foods.
	They contain sulfur-based compounds that are anti-cancer.
	So isn't it interesting that traditional barbecue meals have coleslaw served with barbecue?
	Why do they go together?
	Part of the reason why they go together is because the coleslaw protects you from the barbecue.
	And that way, if you want to enjoy barbecue, there's a way for you to do that.
	And we don't have to be, you know, food Nazis as the saying goes.
	We don't have to demand that you never eat barbecue, never enjoy, you know, a barbecue meal with your family if that's something that you do.
	I know that some people are vegans and vegetarians and so they wouldn't eat barbecue anyway.
	And frankly, those people would not be exposed to the barbecue toxins, but sometimes they can lack other nutrients like B12 or saturated fats that have their own role in nutrition.
	We'll talk about that later.
	But if you eat coleslaw and barbecue together, then the coleslaw tends to nullify the cancer effect in the barbecue.
	And it's even better if you eat fresh fruit with it.
	So you know how they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
	And in this case, the apple, rather than being a symbol of evil in the Garden of Eden, the apple, when consumed before a meal of barbecue, can fill your gut with natural pectins and fruit fibers that absorb and mop up the cancer-causing can fill your gut with natural pectins and fruit fibers that absorb and mop So, if you ever go out and eat barbecue again, perhaps you will.
	I would imagine most of you will, one time or another.
	There's a really simple thing to do.
	Eat an apple before.
	Just eat an apple or half an apple or an orange.
	Eat a piece of fruit, like fresh.
	I don't mean fruit juice.
	That doesn't have the fiber in it.
	I'm talking about a fresh piece of fruit.
	Eat it, chew it well, finish that, and then sit down for your barbecue meal with the coleslaw and the barbecue, if that's something you enjoy, and And guess what?
	You're using then God's molecules as defensive systems to protect you against toxic molecules created during the process of cooking.
	So this is how to use God's molecules in alignment wisely so that you can still go out and enjoy many of the foods that you wish to enjoy from time to time.
	You don't have to engage in nutritional chastity.
	For example, you can still enjoy your life and prevent cancer at the same time.
	So I've got a big list of all kinds of things that you can take or eat before you eat something else that have a very protective effect.
	For example, did you know that curcumin, which is found in turmeric root, eliminates fluoride from the body?
	So if you've had too much fluoride, well, how do you get rid of it?
	You know, fluoride is toxic to your endocrine system, and it's toxic to your teeth if you ingest it.
	So how do you get rid of it?
	Well, curcumin found in turmeric.
	And where do you get turmeric?
	Well, you can eat it as a food.
	You can take it as a supplement.
	You can grow it yourself.
	I grow turmeric.
	It's a beautiful, beautiful plant.
	Grows a lot like ginger plants because it's the same kind of thing, you know, a beautiful root in the ground.
	And it's a very powerful orange root.
	And every time I go to the dentist for teeth cleaning, I get mocked a little bit.
	They say, why is all your dental work orange?
	And it's because I drink turmeric every day.
	I have done so for many, many years.
	I put about a Maybe a tablespoon into my smoothie every single day.
	My smoothie consists of avocados and some coconut water and some whey protein.
	Sometimes some flax seeds.
	I put in some broccoli sprout powder and some other ingredients.
	Right now I'm using a little bit of black cumin seed oil, which is another powerful molecule.
	Medicinal.
	Tastes nasty, but if you know how to use it, it's very medicinal.
	I put that into the smoothie.
	And bananas, by the way, which makes it really, really delicious.
	We will have smoothie recipes for you as part of our teachings.
	So have no fear.
	Smoothie recipes will soon be here.
	All right, but curcumin eliminates fluoride from the body, and there are many other things that you can take or eat or grow that can achieve detoxification.
	Now, getting back to the scripture, I know I can barely get through this.
	This is the challenge I always have about reading scripture.
	I read like one verse and then my brain goes off for 20 minutes on something related to that.
	So here we go.
	Back to, for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.
	And try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
	Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
	Well, isn't that what we do?
	We expose.
	The unfruitful works of darkness.
	The big part of what we do.
	He continues, for it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
	What do you think he's talking about?
	Yeah.
	Since he's talking to the Ephesians, you know, he's talking about all the perverted fornication activities they engage in.
	After church services, you know, because they're so sinful and wicked.
	Verse 13, But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible.
	For anything that becomes visible is light.
	Therefore it says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
	Now, again, every time I read a verse, it reminds me of some really powerful thing.
	And this verse reminds me of the healing power of light therapy.
	Did you know that light therapy, specific wavelengths, some ultraviolet, some visible, infrared, that the right wavelengths will awaken what are called senescent cells?
	These are cells within your body and your tissues that are not quite dead, but they're not really alive either.
	They're kind of in a zombie state, somewhere between life and death.
	They need to be awakened and reactivated in order to join the living systems of your body.
	That is done through light, by the way.
	Again, verse 13, but when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible.
	For anything that becomes visible is light.
	Therefore, it says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead.
	That's what we're talking about.
	And did you know that the sun in the sky...
	Which is also interesting, the Son of God.
	So the sun in the sky as a metaphor for the Son of God and the light of Christ.
	So we have light from the sun in the sky that shines upon you, and there is a protective magnetosphere around the planet that shines It deflects the dangerous wavelengths of light emitted by the sun,
	but the healing wavelengths, which include many ultraviolet wavelengths, they come through and that if you expose your skin to those wavelengths for a reasonable amount of time, don't go out and get crazy sunburned or anything, but this is equivalent to infrared therapy.
	This is equivalent to that.
	Because the sun is emitting those wavelengths and being in the sun, having the sun touch your skin, especially if you have tissues or organs that need to be awakened.
	Sunlight therapy is medicine.
	So if you just look up into the sky, I mean, don't look directly at the sun, but what I'm saying is above you is medicine.
	There's medicine in space.
	It's traveling through space.
	The sun is medicine.
	Light is medicine.
	And here it is.
	Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
	He's saying the sun in the sky will shine on you with the light of Christ that reawakens your nearly dead cells and can help you heal.
	It's right there.
	You know, it's right there.
	That's verse 14.
	This is Ephesians chapter 5.
	So light is medicine.
	Sound is medicine, by the way.
	Those are different forms of vibrational medicine.
	Love is medicine.
	Intention is medicine.
	Prayer is medicine.
	And also, molecules can be medicine.
	Many things can be medicine.
	Like I said, if you walk around a forest, you'll have a hard time pointing to anything that isn't medicine.
	Minerals are medicine.
	But there are some minerals that are toxic.
	Right?
	So we need to have discernment.
	And that is spoken about right here in this chapter.
	In any case, kind of skipping ahead to verse 18, Paul says, And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.
	He did not say spirits, plural.
	He said the Spirit.
	Okay?
	So, no excuses, folks.
	Do not get drunk with wine.
	And yes, of course, I completely agree with this.
	This is consistent with what I teach.
	And as you may know from me, I do not drink alcohol.
	I don't know if you could say it's been part of my religion or my faith or my practice.
	I don't know.
	For me, I never desired to drink alcohol.
	Every time that I tried it a few times in my life, Once, a friend gave me a can of beer when I was in high school.
	Like, drink this!
	You know, and you're in high school.
	Like, maybe I'll try it, you know, because you're silly.
	And so, took a drink of that.
	Yuck!
	Nasty!
	Ugh!
	The last time I ever drank from a can of beer was when I was, you know, 18 or something.
	It was like, from that day on, I was known as, like, the guy in the group that just would never drink.
	And so, of course, I became the designated driver also through college.
	I was the guy who wouldn't use drugs.
	I was the guy who didn't do alcohol.
	I was the guy who didn't smoke pot.
	And there were many hilarious circumstances surrounding that because it turns out it's actually very beneficial to have presence of mind when you're in a group of people who are high or drunk And who do not have that presence of mind.
	It gives you quite a cognitive advantage that played out in some very fun ways throughout my youth.
	Now, jumping ahead in verse 22, he's talking about how wives should be obedient to their husbands.
	I can imagine that would be controversial among feminist groups in our world today, but then again, the feminist groups have been sort of Thrown under the bus by the transgender groups now and the LGBT movement, which doesn't believe that women exist.
	So I'm not sure what the current status is with the feminists of that.
	But in verse 25, Paul says, Alright, so there's a lot to unpack here, but I want to bring your attention to...
	The aggregation of love and closeness and dedication with the purity of the washing of the water combined with the Word.
	So in other words, we must be physically clean with the washing of the water and we must be spiritually clean with the Word.
	And only with this purity can we then join together, can we come together in this case as a couple, but also the metaphor here presents the church as the bride.
	So if we are to be married to the message of Christ and married to the church in essence, as if we were married to a bride, then we also need to present ourselves to the church with a degree of purity that honors what the church represents.
	And you may note that I already mentioned two rules in our church, which is rule number one, you don't show up having been vaccinated within the last 30 days because you will be shedding alien protein fragments on the other members of the congregation.
	Therefore, As in Ephesians 5 here, you need to have cleansed yourself.
	You need to eliminate the shedding, which will happen over time, typically, before you show up to the church.
	Don't show up to the church drunk, high, contaminated, or polluted.
	Or the second rule in our congregation is reeking of toxic fragrance.
	So if you are reeking of fragrance or cologne or perfume or skin lotions or what have you, a lot of people wear crazy shampoos that have crazy fragrance in the shampoos.
	And they can't smell it because they've already burned out their sense of smell for those chemicals because they've been using the shampoo every day for 10 years and they can't even detect it anymore.
	Their senses have become nullified.
	They've become sort of blind in the olfactory sense.
	To the molecules that they are shedding onto others around them.
	So this passage, I find it very important because of the rules we have with our congregation and any kind of in-person events or sermons or services that we have.
	You are not welcomed if you show up, you know, with toxins and you're going to intoxicate the people around you.
	Again, in verse 27 it says, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
	My interpretation of that and the way that we apply it...
	I don't care so much about the clothing.
	You don't have to be wrinkle-free in your clothes.
	I don't expect everybody to show up in a suit and a dress.
	I don't either.
	But I see the spotlessness or the lack of wrinkles and so on.
	I see that as a metaphor for our body, for our body purity.
	Let's be clean in our bodies and in our blood.
	And in our state of mind, that to me is far more important than what someone wears because I don't want to exclude someone just because maybe they can't afford a suit or they can't afford nice shoes.
	And I'm wearing tennis shoes right now.
	I'm wearing ranch pants right now.
	I'm not dressing up in order to give this sermon, but my body is pure.
	I'm drinking a turmeric smoothie right now today.
	I'm drinking rainwater as I do every single day.
	I'm not inebriated.
	I don't drink alcohol.
	I don't do recreational drugs.
	I don't take prescription medications.
	The only medication that I will take from time to time is ivermectin, which I just buy over the counter, so that's not even prescription the way I acquire it.
	And I will only take that if I feel symptomatic.
	Or if I'm expecting to be around people who may themselves be shedding.
	If I'm going to go into a group of shedding people, I'm going to use God's molecules to protect me in advance.
	This is another important strategy.
	So I may take ivermectin in advance.
	I may load up on vitamin C. I'll make sure I've got extra vitamin D, quercetin, zinc, artemisinin from wormwood, which we already covered, all of these things.
	I will make sure that I am protected in the molecular armor of God through nutrition and foods.
	And then I will go speak to a group.
	And then, yes, they'll be shedding all over me and all kinds of people with all kinds of fragrance and laundry detergent.
	That's another horrible one.
	And then...
	When I'm done with that, guess what I do?
	I go home, I take off all my clothes, I take a shower, I bathe in rainwater, and I do laundry to clean all the fragrance and all the toxins out of the clothes because I can smell it.
	I can smell it.
	People like to hug me when I speak publicly, and I love their intention, I love their desire, but sadly, many of these people who hug me, they have toxic chemicals in their clothes, in their hair, in their cosmetics, in their makeup, in their skin, their deodorants, and so on.
	And so by hugging me, what they are doing is they are also, in a way, they are transferring their toxic chemicals to my clothes.
	I tolerate it, but I don't appreciate that.
	So just note that about me, if you ever see me in person, and if you have fragrance and laundry detergent and, you know, whatever, just shake my hand instead of hugging me.
	But if you are clean, I welcome and embrace if you are clean.
	And this is just something, this didn't come out of my religious education or teachings.
	This is something that I practiced for 20 years.
	This is something that just came naturally out of being someone who is into clean foods and clean nutrition and so on.
	And this is just a natural extension of that.
	I have, and you will find that you have, the cleaner you get, you will have very high sensitivity perception in your sense of smell, in your sense of taste.
	I have a sense of smell that is just crazy sensitive.
	In the food lab, Where we test for foods.
	I'm known as the walking mass spec.
	Because I can walk into the lab, which is a fairly good sized laboratory, you know, a couple thousand square feet.
	And instantly, when I breathe the air in the lab, I know which person is present there because there's one person that works there that has a very specific type of laundry detergent.
	And I instantly, oh, yep, that person's here today.
	Because I can smell their detergent.
	Or if I enter a grocery store, like in Texas, there's a very popular chain of grocery stores called HEB. The moment, even actually before I enter the store, in the parking lot, I can smell the laundry detergents coming out of the cleaning aisle in HEB as the doors are opening and the smell is sort of wafting out into the parking lot.
	I can smell it before I enter the store.
	And I can smell it on the plastic bags that hold the fresh produce.
	So, for example, if I buy organic grapes, and then I go home and wash the grapes, take them out of the bag, and I can take the bag, I can smell laundry detergent chemicals on the bag of the grapes.
	Now, this ability, I'm not a superhero or an X-Man or anything.
	This is normal.
	This is normal.
	If you stop assaulting your senses with toxic chemicals, you will gain sensory acuity.
	Your sense of taste and smell will come back, and your mind will become sharper than ever before because the sense of taste and smell, your sensory experience, is very much tied to your intelligence, by the way.
	You will also find that you will enjoy natural foods much more because you'll be able to taste them.
	Instead of just using salt and sugar and whatever as the overriding blunt instrument of carpet bombing your tongue with an overkill of salt, which is the normal American palate, instead of that, when you have sensory acuity, you'll be able to taste amazing things in foods.
	You will taste the sweetness in oats, for example, or the sweetness in corn.
	Or you will taste the savory nature of a tomato in ways that you never did before.
	So remember, give up the toxic chemicals.
	You will be richly rewarded with an enhanced sensory experience of life, which is a gift from God.
	But most modern-day people assault their senses.
	And as a result, they lose sensory acuity and they don't experience life in the way that God intended.
	Now, continuing with Ephesians 5, verse 28, in the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies, he who loves his wife loves himself.
	No one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
	Okay, once again, okay.
	Paul gives us a lot to unpack here.
	So clearly we see the same metaphor here between the body and the body of Christ, or the body of the church, right?
	But also, he says here in verse 29, for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
	Well, perhaps that was true in those days, but today, in our modern time, we do see people that hate their own flesh, don't we?
	And we know that because they mutilate themselves.
	So there are plenty of people who hate their flesh and they express it by smoking crack or getting demon tattoos all over their bodies or having crazy piercings, piercing their nose and their lips and ears and nipples and who knows what else, piercing everything.
	And, of course, there's the transgender mutilations that take place targeting children today.
	So today, because of the rise of Satanism and how Satanic influences have infected and afflicted so many people today, there are people who hate their own flesh, and they don't nourish it and cherish it.
	They seek to destroy it.
	And these people, I would say, are expressing Satanism.
	They have been infested.
	Perhaps they don't realize it, but satanic forces have taken over their decision-making process and their minds.
	Some of these people are very easy to spot because they engage in what Steve Quayle calls outpicturing.
	Outpicturing is to try to make your outer body appear like your inner demon.
	For those who are demon-infested.
	And so bit by bit, little by little, they change their outward appearance to become more and more demonic.
	And no doubt you've seen these.
	They change their hair.
	They change their eyebrows.
	They change their makeup.
	And again, the mutilations and usually the demon tattoos.
	And their whole look.
	And you see their eyes change, too.
	You've probably seen before and after pictures.
	Let's say like a...
	A 17-year-old beautiful teenage woman, girl, that goes to college, let's say, a woke college.
	And then two years later, you see the same woman or young woman or girl.
	You see them.
	They come out of the woke college now looking like a vampire.
	And you might be thinking, what happened?
	Is this the same person?
	Well, what happened is demonic infestation.
	And they did not nourish their body, they did not cherish their body, but they mutilated their body.
	They hated their own flesh.
	And people who engage in systemic, ongoing drug abuse are expressing a kind of hatred for their own flesh, and they are struggling with demons, which is a description that's often applied to those who are dealing with addictions.
	And I'm not making light of addictions.
	I've known people who have suffered extreme...
	Addictions.
	One of my family members was killed by an overdose of fentanyl.
	He died with a needle in his arm.
	I've seen addictive behavior in my own family.
	I've been around people with addictions.
	I even said earlier, like in college, I would be the one guy in the room not smoking pot, not drinking beer, while my, quote, friends in college, they were high and drunk.
	I've been around many, many situations like that in my life.
	And also, even before I went to college, there were alcoholics in my family.
	I mean, not my parents, thank God, not my siblings, but I mean, more distant family.
	There were alcoholics.
	There were substance abusers.
	So I've seen that behavior again and again, and I'm not trying to make light of it, and I'm not trying to say that if you're listening to this and you're suffering from a substance addiction problem, I'm not saying that you're evil.
	I'm saying get help.
	Get help.
	And potentially, the church and faith can help you in that journey.
	And there are a great many resources in our society today for dealing with addiction.
	But did you know that turning to nutrition and getting more minerals into your diet has helped a great many people ease addictions?
	Did you know that?
	There are all sorts of natural substances that God has placed here on this planet for us that can help us through any kind of addictions.
	It's not an easy journey.
	It's not a quick fix.
	There's no magic.
	Just take this pill and you're all good.
	It doesn't work that way.
	But there are things that can help you along that journey.
	And I believe that your relationship with Christ is the most important part of that.
	So turn to faith.
	Also turn to nutrition.
	And that's what we teach here.
	That is what we teach.
	And if you do both, I believe you can come out of addiction.
	You can leave behind that part of your life, which is what Paul was speaking to here.
	Remember the days of darkness?
	Verse 8, For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
	Walk as children of light.
	You can make that transition at any time.
	Each of us can.
	This is the blessing that Christ gave us by dying for our sins.
	He gave us the opportunity to make that change in a moment.
	Or perhaps it takes days, perhaps it takes weeks, but it is a gift to you to make that choice, to change your path, and to walk with the Lord, to walk in the light.
	Or, let me add that, to walk with the fruit of the light, as they say.
	Got to bring in the fruit there, too, because that's part of this.
	So if you want to detox...
	If you want to be pure in your blood and in your spirit, there is a method for doing that.
	And it is what we teach.
	So we'll have much more for you here.
	I have such vast knowledge of foods and nutrition and superfoods to share with you that I've collected over 20 plus years as a food scientist and food nutritionist and food educator.
	And now...
	Learning how these are represented in the scripture, it's just amazing to me.
	It's amazing.
	It really lights up the Bible for me to be able to teach this and bring you this information and connect these dots in ways that just most people had never thought about these connections.
	But it is all connected.
	Remember, body, mind, and spirit.
	Think about the purity.
	You cleanse your body, that brings you closer to a pure spirit and a pure mind.
	Your spiritual health, your mental health, and your physical health are all interrelated.
	And the physical health is the lowest level of that, you know, the physical substances that are in your blood.
	And that's where you can do instant work.
	You can change what you eat and drink tonight.
	You can drink more pure water.
	Your body will naturally detoxify over time.
	Did you know that?
	You don't have to go through some kind of heroic vomiting and diarrhea.
	I'm detoxing!
	I hear stories from people like, I had diarrhea for four days and now I'm detox!
	I'm like, did you know you don't have to suffer like that?
	Did you know that if you eat clean foods and drink clean water and breathe cleaner air every day, your body naturally detoxes every single day.
	Every glass of water you drink that is clean is detoxification.
	Every clean fruit that you eat that's organic, doesn't contain pesticides and herbicides and toxic substances, that's a detox.
	Every single piece of fruit, every herb, every leaf from your garden that you eat that is clean, This is detoxification.
	Let the water wash over you and remove those toxins.
	Baptism.
	It's not meant to be a one-time thing.
	In essence, the baptism of the water washing over you with the Word of God, this can be a daily ritual, which is showering, clean water, prayer, sweating, which is totally normal.
	These can be daily rituals, daily purification.
	And this is just one final comment in all of this.
	I hear people...
	Say things like, you know, I've got to be baptized.
	I've got to go down to the river.
	I want to be dunked in the river and be baptized.
	Do you have any idea what's in that river?
	By the way, this is not the year 600 B.C. The rivers today are toxic.
	The rivers are flushed with the sewage of the cities, okay?
	So the cities, they take the sewage, and then they put it in these ponds for a few days, and then they let the sunlight hit it and try to sterilize all the viruses, and they treat it this way and that way, and then they release it into the rivers.
	You want to be baptized in a river full of feces?
	You know, that would be the E. coli baptism.
	No, thank you.
	No, thank you.
	You don't want to be baptized in a river.
	I mean, not...
	Hardly anywhere in the world today.
	But you can shower in clean water.
	You can drink clean water.
	And the cleanest water of all is rainwater.
	We'll talk about water in an upcoming sermon about the different types of water and what's the cleanest form.
	But rainwater is the cleanest form.
	But washing with clean water each day is a daily baptism when combined with the Word, combined with prayer.
	It's very simple.
	It's very simple.
	As the water is washing over you, you can say, Dear God, thank you for this water.
	Thank you for this gift of detoxification as I am on my journey toward purity of the body and the blood.
	To walk in the footsteps of Christ in pursuit of the, you could even say, the fruit of the light that is found in all that is good and right and true in order to achieve greater spiritual closeness and integrity with your teachings.
	Dear God, however you wish to phrase it, In the name of our living God, our almighty creator, he who created all these molecules, gave us all these plants, all these things here for our benefit.
	In your name, God.
	Amen.
	However you wish to say that.
	And just say a little prayer.
	It could be 30 seconds as you're washing with clean water.
	Just do it routinely.
	And then you are, you're taking that walk daily.
	And then be mindful of what you eat, be mindful of what you're drinking, be mindful of what you're putting on your skin or washing your clothes with, and make small incremental improvements each and every day to walk more closely with the teachings of the Lord.
	That is the path that gets you closer to Christ.
	That is the path that is honored by God.
	God doesn't expect you to change everything overnight.
	I don't think so.
	I mean, I guess I can't speak for his mind, but I believe that the intentions of the teachings through the Bible are to encourage you to make these constant improvements closer and closer to the teachings of God and Christ, and that if you are on that path with your heart and with authenticity, then you're doing good in the eyes of the Lord.
	So walk that path each and every day, and And I believe that you too shall find God working miracles in your life.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for listening to today's sermon.
	We have much more to come.
	A lot.
	I can't even...
	I've said I'm going to do 100 sermons, and we're on number 22 here.
	100 won't even scratch the surface, it turns out.
	Think about it.
	We have barely scratched the surface.
	So much wealth and knowledge and so many miracles to talk about.
	But we'll start with 100 and see what happens from there.
	And wherever you found this sermon, you can find more sermons at that same location.
	God bless you all, and thank you for listening today.
