	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Wednesday, August 21st, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And we'll start out with a factoid here.
	Oh, we've got a debate.
	Well, I debated Dr.
	Shiva today about voting for Trump or not voting for Trump.
	Great debate.
	Very intelligent and sometimes fiery conversation.
	We'll be playing that interview for you today.
	But first, here's a factoid.
	Harrison Smith from InfoWars points this out.
	More babies have been killed at the DNC than Hamas killed on October 7th.
	It's now confirmed that 25 babies have been killed at the mobile abortion clinic set up outside the DNC where women enter the abortion RV and then, you know, an unborn baby is killed and then the woman walks out and they've done this 25 times and counting.
	So actual baby murder factories, rituals to Satanism and mass death set up outside the DNC because the DNC, of course, honors, worships, and advocates mass death and mass murder of children.
	That's what they stand for.
	And by the way, if Kamala gets elected, the government under her will engage in mass murder of American citizens.
	It will be fully weaponized to carry out mass extermination, and I mean executions in the streets and in the death camps, of any Americans who oppose the Harris administration.
	So if you don't want to die being executed by a government thug in your living room, well, then, you know, maybe vote for Trump instead of Harris.
	Just saying.
	And then we've got something really grotesque for you here.
	It turns out that this feminist group at the DNC, I don't know what it was, Women's Caucus here, they were trying to sing the national anthem and they failed.
	They could not sing the national anthem, folks.
	They probably could not cite the Pledge of Allegiance.
	They probably do not recognize the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights or any historical document or song or saying involving America.
	Check out this video and weep for your nation.
	What day can you see?
	By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad strides Oh my God, that was so bad.
	I thought at first it had to be, you know, like a Saturday Night Live skit.
	No.
	That's the DNC. That's the Women's Caucus Group at the DNC. Utterly pathetic.
	An embarrassment to this nation.
	An embarrassment to the history of this nation.
	And all the veterans that fought and died for these United States of America.
	These women get up there on stage.
	And attempt to belt out some forgotten memory hold version of a song.
	They don't even know what it stood for.
	They don't know what this nation stands for.
	They are an abomination to this country.
	And so are Democrats, obviously.
	And they put a D for demons with a circle on it to indicate that they're all with the devil.
	Right in your face, folks.
	While children are being murdered outside, they are murdering the National Anthem on stage during a live stream.
	Unbelievable.
	Now, remember how many people were murdered in the hospitals during COVID according to government-mandated hospital protocols?
	Remember all that?
	Over a million Americans now dead because of the vaccines.
	Well, here's a story out of the Defender from Children's Health Defense.
	It's titled, How Soon Before You'll Need a Digital ID to Access Public Services?
	Well, it turns out that the Biden regime is going to accelerate the adoption of a digital ID. And if you don't have it, pretty soon you'll be denied access to health care services.
	No health care for you.
	This is being readied in an executive order that will soon be signed by Joe Biden.
	And according to a nonprofit news outlet that got a copy of this executive order, they say it could, quote, reshape how Americans access government services and potentially behave online.
	Mm-hmm.
	A digital ID system could operate with the use of biometric scans like facial recognition to, quote, help better verify identity online.
	It will allow Americans to carry identity documents on their smartphones and frictionlessly submit them to both government and private sector websites.
	You know, like your hospital, your bank, the grocery store where they're going to have food rationing.
	Because Kamala is pushing government price controls on groceries.
	The story cites Tim Hinchliff of the Sociable, that's a publication.
	He says, quote, while the federal government wasn't able to legally mandate vaccination to all U.S. citizens, it went ahead anyway and mandated it to federal employees and the private sector followed suit.
	The same can easily happen with digital identity.
	So, and Catherine Austin Fitz added, she's with a Solari report, she added, quote, Pushing for a digital ID. And by the way,
	this comes on the heels of news that every person's Social Security number and related details was stolen by hackers about a week ago from a contractor that serves the Social Security Administration.
	Everybody's Social Security number has been stolen.
	Seems to me that, well, we should all stop paying into Social Security as a result.
	I mean, it's all been stolen, so what does that mean for us?
	And it's all a rip-off anyway, because none of us are really going to get that money back since the system is collapsing and the value of the dollar is collapsing every single day anyway.
	Now, speaking of the Defender and Children's Health Defense, there's big news today about RFK Jr., Well, his vice president candidate, Shanahan, she leaked out in an interview that they are considering joining with the Trump administration in order to defeat communist Kamala, which both RFK Jr.
	and Trump realize is an extremely dangerous, anti-American, communist-leaning, fascist, authoritarian regime that despises humanity and hates America.
	RFK Jr.
	may be offered a key position within the Trump administration.
	I'm voting for running HHS, that is Health and Human Services, which oversees the FDA and other agencies.
	Some people have suggested online that RFK run the DOJ. Wouldn't that be interesting?
	Or the CIA. Now, wouldn't that be some historical karma?
	The very agency that murdered his uncle.
	If he ran it, well, he would make some pretty radical changes, wouldn't he?
	But I think having RFK Jr.
	in the Trump administration is a great idea, and I recorded a special report on that.
	We'll play in just a second here.
	I just want to mention what's coming up is a full discussion of the fact that Kamala now wants to tax unrealized capital gains at 25%.
	This would devastate America's economy.
	It would devastate the real estate market, and it would devastate the stock market.
	And just to be clear how this would work, if you bought a house for, let's say, $500K, and now the house is worth a million dollars, but you haven't sold it, you're still living in it, but the so-called gain is $500K. Under Kamala Harris, you would have to write a check to the government for 25% of that gain.
	You'd have to come up with $125,000 in cash to pay the IRS on a home that you haven't even sold.
	On a home whose price might actually collapse in the future.
	And will you get the money back from the IRS? Well, of course not.
	You'll never get it back.
	Kamala Harris wants to obliterate the U.S. economy and confiscate assets from the people.
	So we'll have a full discussion of that point on the other side of this special report.
	So let's go ahead and play that about RFK Jr.
	joining with the Trump administration.
	So there is a credible rumor right now from multiple sources and some of this has gone public.
	That Donald J. Trump is considering bringing in RFK Jr.
	as the head of HHS, that's Health and Human Services, which sits on top of the FDA, for example, and many other agencies, as a way to combine the forces of RFK Jr.
	and Donald Trump.
	This is a game changer.
	If it happens, it's huge.
	It almost guarantees Trump election victory, even beyond the margin of cheating, which the Democrats are going to try to do.
	Now, the reason this is such a big deal for all of us, for America, is that RFK Jr.
	does not look to be in a position to win the presidency himself.
	That's just an honest assessment.
	There's no real path for him to achieve 270 electoral votes, even if he's your favorite candidate.
	There is a path for victory for Trump.
	It looks like he's got vastly more support than Kamala.
	That Kamala's popularity is all counterfeit.
	It's all staged.
	Everything's an act.
	Everything's theater.
	But with Trump, it's genuine.
	So Trump has a realistic pathway to victory.
	But the thing about Trump is he's been very weak on vaccines.
	He's been weak against big pharma.
	Now, he did come out a couple of months ago, I think it was, and said that he's going to appoint somebody to oversee an investigation into the root causes of chronic degenerative disease in America.
	Because, as Trump says correctly, that we spend too much money as a nation covering the costs of treating disease instead of preventing it.
	And, of course, I've been teaching this for over 20 years.
	Yes, we can prevent most cases of cancer.
	We can prevent most cases of diabetes and heart disease and so on.
	So looking at the food supply, banning toxic ingredients, for example, halting the subsidies of toxic ingredients or processed corn or what have you.
	And at the HHS level, there are many things that can be done.
	For example, not rolling out an experimental injection on the entire population and causing the deaths of over a million Americans and so on, which is what happened during COVID-19.
	There is, in my view, there's no better person in America today to radically reform HHS than RFK Jr.
	RFK Jr., as a trained attorney but also, of course, the founder of what is now Children's Health Defense, He has the scientific knowledge.
	He understands the issue of heavy metals contamination or even vaccine contamination or use of aluminum adjuvants.
	He understands the over-medication of children and adults.
	He understands the crimes of big pharma.
	And remember, RFK Jr.
	was himself named as one of the so-called Dirty Dozen So he understands what it's like to be censored, silenced, to be slandered, to be defamed by the pharmaceutical industry when all you're trying to do is help people be healthier.
	There is no one more qualified to reform HHS than RFK Jr.
	I wholly endorse this move if indeed it is something that both of the candidates agree to.
	And for RFK Jr., I would encourage him, to any of his fans or staff who are listening, I would encourage you to say yes to this arrangement if it is offered, and perhaps it's already been offered.
	I would say yes to it, and here's why.
	It puts RFK Jr.
	in a position In the federal government, that is extremely relevant to the things that Americans are dealing with today.
	Pandemics, vaccines, chronic degenerative disease, medication prices, price gouging by big pharma, right?
	All these things.
	Notice, by the way, that Kamala, she says we have to stop price gouging on food, but she doesn't say anything about price gouging on pharmaceuticals, does she?
	Or vaccines, for that matter.
	Or chemotherapy drugs, which are highly toxic.
	Nothing like that.
	RFK Jr., as head of HHS, he would be in a position to control a lot of the grant money.
	He could push grant money into the proper places where it can support research that helps support health and longevity of the American people.
	Instead of just pushing it to research more vaccines and more Pharmaceuticals and psychiatric drugs and all this other nonsense that our country has become afflicted with.
	Secondly, as head of HHS, RFK Jr.
	could initiate investigations into the COVID crimes against humanity.
	He would be in a unique position to roll out internal documents and internal communications That the Trump administration could then use through its DOJ to prosecute the COVID criminals that have festered inside the government bureaucracy.
	And yes, in my opinion, there need to be thousands of people who are indicted, prosecuted for their crimes, crimes of pharmaceutical fraud, of money laundering, of fudging scientific evidence, false testimony, lying before Congress, as Fauci did numerous times.
	There are many, many people that need to be prosecuted in order to expose the truth about the COVID crimes.
	I think only RFK Jr.
	has the courage as head of HHS to do that.
	In addition, he would be able to influence policy decisions that are in alignment with the goals of Children's Health Defense.
	Although, I should be clear about this, he would have to resign any official position with Children's Health Defense, which is a nonprofit.
	But nevertheless, his work would carry on in CHD while he serves as the head of HHS.
	And as you know, Children's Health Defense is about protecting the health of children from lots of things, including heavy metals, mercury, aluminum, toxic vaccines, and so much more.
	And there's no better place to get that done than from being the head of HHS. Additionally, He and Trump working together could break up the FDA. Now, the FDA has become a terrorist organization.
	The FDA terrorizes small businesses that are involved in food and supplements.
	The FDA is not about public safety.
	It's about shutting down small businesses and protecting the large corporations like Procter& Gamble and what have you, the big food companies, the big drug companies, the big vaccine manufacturers.
	It's all it is.
	It's the enforcement branch of a bureaucratic terrorist regime that exists to protect the profits of big corporations in America.
	As head of HHS, RFK Jr.
	could strongly push for breaking the FDA into two separate entities, one with regulatory authority over medicines, that is drugs or medical devices, obviously vaccines, and the other one would be food.
	Food and nutritional supplements.
	I think supplements belong over with food, not with drugs, by the way.
	And personal care products and things like that, right?
	So this desperately needs to happen in order to protect the American people from the tyranny of the FDA and to give the American people the choice for health freedom.
	And ANHUSA is working hard on health freedom legislation to push back against FDA tyranny.
	If the head of HHS is on board with that, a lot of progress could be made in this way.
	And America would become healthier, more nutritious, and more free.
	And it would also help small businesses to be able to compete with healthful products that big pharma will never roll out because big pharma is not interested in anything that they can't patent, right?
	All they want is more patentable drugs.
	Now, on top of this, if Trump announces that RFK Jr.
	will be considered for HHS head or given the job, then it's going to bring over a lot of RFK fans to vote for Trump instead of voting for Kamala, who is an atrocious communist candidate.
	It's going to shore up support for Trump.
	It will also help hardcore Trump supporters.
	It will reinforce the idea with them that Trump is willing to, let's say, reach across the aisle and bring in Democrats where they can do the job in an effective and courageous way.
	RFK Jr., lifelong Democrat, right?
	He's running as an independent right now only because the Democrat Party is so corrupt and run by such criminals who despise democracy that they kicked him out of the process of even being considered as the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.
	I mean, let's be honest, if the Democrats had a real primary and a real competition, then it's no competition.
	RFK Jr.
	is their choice.
	Nobody can out-debate him.
	Nobody can out-think him.
	Nobody's more articulate.
	Nobody knows the issues better than he does.
	So, big time, RFK Jr.
	is...
	He should have been the right choice for the Democrats.
	They rejected him.
	And now RFK Jr.
	knows and he has publicly stated how dangerous the Democrats have become.
	This is not the party of his uncle, nor his father.
	This is a totally different party.
	The Democrat Party today is a party of tyrannical authoritarian communists who want to murder the American people with biological weapons.
	RFK Jr., I believe, realizes that.
	Whether he speaks in those terms or not, I believe he realizes that.
	Now, something else that's interesting in all of this, although I might be critical of this, but RFK Jr.
	and Donald J. Trump both strongly support Israel.
	Trump has taken a lot of money from Zionist donors who are, of course, pro-Israel, and Trump has said he supports greater Israel, and he supports arresting and deporting opponents of Israel across US campuses and so on.
	Now, personally, I strongly disagree with Trump's position on that, but that's not the point.
	Trump and RFK Jr.
	are both supported by deep-pocketed Jewish donors.
	That's right.
	Jewish donors donate to Children's Health Defense and have strongly supported RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign, just as they have Trump's campaign.
	So if these two get together, well, then the Jewish donors are going to have a combined effort.
	And it might be some of the same donors even.
	They're going to have more representatives in government as if they needed more because, of course, half the CDC and half the NIH and so on is already run by people of Judaism, right?
	That's just reality of where we are right now.
	The FDA, the CDC, and so on.
	But this is a reason why Trump and RFK Jr.
	may find additional common ground is through their support for Israel.
	Now, that's going to be an ongoing debate because, of course, Trump wants to silence people who criticize Israel.
	I insist I have a First Amendment right to say what I want to say about that issue.
	I'm not going to be silent about it.
	But I will make sure that my criticism is rooted in, you know, reason and rationality and humanitarian principles.
	And in fact, my only criticism of RFK Jr., well, I guess there are two, but one of the main criticisms has been that RFK Jr.
	fails to recognize the violation of humanitarian principles in Israel's bombing of Gaza.
	Or as I've said it before, RFK Jr., He is opposed to the killing of children with heavy metals and toxins in America, but he doesn't seem to mind the killing of children in Gaza.
	Okay, so that's kind of a summary of my criticisms of RFK Jr.
	Nevertheless, that cannot take away from the fact that RFK Jr.
	is ultimately, with that one massive exception, he does have, generally speaking, a humanitarian heart.
	Which is one of the reasons why it's so surprising to me to hear him talk about what's going on in Israel.
	But nevertheless, he is a humanitarian at heart.
	He cares about children, genuinely.
	He understands the issues of our day.
	He understands how dangerous Big Pharma is.
	Personally, even though I disagree on a couple of issues, I would be thrilled to see RFK Jr.
	at the head of HHS. I would strongly support that.
	I would even endorse that.
	And if it's pro-Israel money that helps Trump get elected right now, well, you know, at least they're putting money behind Trump and not Kamala.
	That's what I would say.
	We've got to get Trump into office.
	We can't survive under communism.
	Trump is the only hope, I believe, for the future of this country.
	Not that anybody can save it in its entirety, but RFK Jr.
	makes Trump stronger and makes him more popular with more centrist voters.
	So this is a match made in heaven, as far as I'm concerned.
	And understand, look, I'm not a groupie of any of these men.
	You know, I don't worship celebrities.
	I'm coming at this from a rational point of view with, again, some criticisms.
	And one area where they're going to clash, by the way, is energy policy.
	But if RFK Jr., who is more anti-oil, anti-coal, big time, Versus Trump, who is pro-energy, pro-coal, pro-oil, pro-hydrocarbons, which is where I stand on these issues.
	We need to be energy independent in America.
	But, you know, RFK Jr., as head of HHS, he doesn't oversee energy policy.
	So he can't shut down pipelines as the head of HHS, even though he might want to.
	He can't shutter coal-fired power plants.
	He doesn't control...
	The banning of combustion engine vehicles as head of HHS. So that serious disagreement between RFK Jr.
	and Donald Trump would not be relevant.
	If RFK is in that position.
	You see what I mean?
	And Trump can go ahead and appoint other people to oversee energy policy to try to bring America back to being a net exporter of energy where we are more self-reliant.
	And that's where America needs to be.
	And that will bring down prices of food and transportation and consumer goods, by the way.
	And that's why I so strongly support domestic energy exploration and pipelines and production.
	You cannot have a strong economy unless you have affordable energy.
	And I also believe it's entirely possible that RFK Jr.
	may come around on some of these issues.
	Although I don't think he'll ever reverse his position on coal, I do think that RFK Jr., It has enough of an open mind to take a hard look at emerging technologies such as low-energy nuclear reactions, what used to be called cold fusion.
	Now, interestingly, and I probably should do a separate podcast on this because it's a worthy discussion, but Samsung has just released a new solid-state battery that is a game changer.
	It's a battery with a 20-year life cycle in electric vehicles.
	It's solid-state.
	It uses a silver-based substrate You can charge it in just nine minutes, that is, a vehicle with these batteries.
	And the energy density is about twice of the current lithium-ion batteries.
	Now think about this, folks.
	If you combine high-density energy storage in a solid-state battery that's not easily combustible, if you combine that with low-energy nuclear reactions, which is a kind of cold fusion at the local level, Then all of a sudden, you've changed the whole energy infrastructure.
	You can generate and store your own energy at your home, you know, in your garage.
	The energy that you need to power an EV or to power your home or to power your crypto mining rigs or whatever you have in your basement, you know, to power your blenders, everything, your air conditioning, you know, your heaters, all of it.
	You can generate the electricity yourself.
	And there are some profound things happening in the industry of low-energy nuclear reactions.
	And if someone like RFK Jr.
	or Donald Trump would come out and recognize that and say to the world, hey, We're not just going to make America great again.
	We're going to make America energy independent and we're going to make you energy independent off grid.
	You'll be able to produce and store your own energy.
	You won't even need a connection to the power grid.
	You'll be able to power everything for pennies per kilowatt hour.
	You know, instead of like 35 cents as it is in California at the moment or less in other places, but it's still, you know, it's still expensive.
	That would be a massive game changer.
	And if Trump would also just announce an end to all personal income taxes at the federal level, no more federal income taxes for individuals, then it's done.
	You've won the election.
	The government doesn't need people's income tax money in order to fund itself.
	There's no relationship between tax income and government spending anyway.
	No relationship at all.
	Taxes do not fund spending.
	The government spends way beyond taxes and they just print the money when they need it.
	So there's no need to have personal income taxes.
	Trump should just come out and announce we're going to end the IRS. We're going to just shut it down.
	There's going to be no personal income taxes.
	We're just going to have some tariffs and maybe some energy taxes or whatever.
	Just throw enough on the table.
	Energy is already taxed very heavily by the federal government.
	I don't mean that those taxes should be higher, but They would keep those taxes, you know, in place.
	And that would be more than enough to run a government if you slash all the waste.
	You slash the waste out of the federal bureaucracy, which means you cut the federal government by 70-90%.
	And guess what?
	You restore freedom for America.
	You make the government small again, less tyrannical.
	You get the government out of people's lives.
	You end income taxes.
	You put RFK in charge of HHS. You break up the FDA. You cut its budget by about 80 or 90 percent.
	And guess what?
	The country will be healthier, happier, and more free.
	And we would give thanks to Donald Trump and RFK Jr.
	for helping to make that happen, despite the other areas where we may disagree with them on individual policies.
	We've got to look at the big picture here, folks.
	We can always nitpick and find something that we disagree on.
	But in the big picture, that duo is a powerful team for America.
	I would vote for that in an instant.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me here today.
	You can find more of my podcasts and special reports at brighteon.com.
	God bless America.
	All right, continuing on with our analysis today, let's get into the unrealized capital gains realm because this is the most dangerous and economically devastating suggestion that any Democrat has made yet.
	It's called unrealized capital gains taxation.
	So, you know, normally, and I think most of you understand this, but normally, if you buy a house and you sit on it and it gains value over time, or if you buy a bunch of stocks and they gain value over time, you're not taxed on it until you sell it.
	And selling it means that you are realizing the gain.
	Because at that moment, then you've converted the asset into cash flow.
	So now you have the excess cash, let's say, from the earnings, right?
	So check this out.
	You buy a house, like I said earlier, you buy a house for half a million dollars, it goes up to a million dollars in value, you know, according to Zillow or whoever.
	And then you haven't sold it.
	You're still living in it.
	You're paying sky-high property taxes.
	But the IRS under Kamala comes to you and says, well, you have an unrealized gain here of half a million dollars.
	So you're going to have to pay tax on that unrealized gain.
	25% of the gain, which is $500,000, 25% of that comes to $125,000.
	So you have to come up with that cash somehow to pay the government, even though you haven't sold the house.
	Well, for a lot of people, they don't have that kind of cash.
	They may be living in a million-dollar home according to the market value, but they don't have a bunch of extra cash, hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around because of the high property taxes and the high maintenance costs and so on, and also, of course, the collapsing value of the dollar and inflation and also, of course, the collapsing value of the dollar and inflation in So what will people have to do in order to pay the $125,000?
	Where they're going to have to sell the home.
	So people all over the country will have to sell their homes and downsize their homes in order to pay the IRS, and this will cause a market collapse in the real estate markets as everybody's selling their homes to try to pay the tax. and this will cause a market collapse in the real And then at the same time in the stock market, same thing will be happening.
	So all the gains that people got in Apple stocks or NVIDIA stocks or whatever, they're going to have to start selling stock shares in order to pay the capital gains that are unrealized.
	This will cause the stock prices to collapse, which will of course eliminate the unrealized gains for those who haven't yet paid the taxes on unrealized gains.
	All of a sudden, your unrealized gain becomes an unrealized loss, right?
	But the stock market will absolutely plummet under this.
	But here's the real kicker in all of this.
	When houses go up from, let's say, half a million dollars to a million dollars in value, have they really gained value over that time period?
	Because that doesn't happen overnight usually, right?
	It takes a few years, maybe 10 years, maybe more, depending on the area in which you live.
	So is the house actually gaining value or are the dollars losing value?
	See, dollars are losing value because of the money printing, because there are more and more dollars by the trillions flooding into the system, which reduces the value of each dollar that already exists.
	And since there are more dollars chasing a limited supply of goods, whether it's groceries or housing or real estate, then the prices in dollar value go up and up and up.
	You haven't really gained anything because if you sold your million dollar home today, took that million dollars in cash, it wouldn't buy you what the half a million dollar home bought you 10 or more years ago.
	In other words, you've lost actual value in the home.
	You haven't gained anything.
	But Kamala wants to tax you on the gains that aren't even really gains.
	Because the nominal value of the house is going up, but the purchasing value of the dollars that the house represents, that purchasing power is going down.
	So not only are you losing in terms of real value, you have to pay tax on the losses.
	If you had just bought gold instead of stocks or a house or whatever, the gold would have much more value gain As right now, gold's over $2,500, right?
	And it continues to climb.
	And gold is an insurance policy against dollar devaluation for that very purpose.
	Furthermore, the government doesn't know how much gold you have.
	They don't know what happened to your gold.
	If you bought it, took possession of it, they don't track it.
	They do track the property you own.
	They do track the stocks that you own.
	Everything's tracked by your Social Security number, isn't it?
	So they can come in and they can tax you, or if you can't pay it, they can confiscate it from you.
	They can force you to sell your house in order to take 25% from you as a quote, tax.
	And if you think this is just for the wealthy, think again.
	These days, it's hard to find a home for something less than, let's say, $400,000 in most major cities across America.
	You don't have to be wealthy to be living in a $400,000 home.
	That's a starter home in a lot of cities.
	Or even a half a million dollar home is a starter home in many cities in California.
	Doesn't mean you're wealthy.
	You may just barely be getting by.
	Now you've got to send another 25% to Washington, D.C. because of communism, Kamala.
	Now on top of that, how does the government know you're playing by the rules?
	How do they know you've actually paid 25% unrealized capital gains tax?
	Well, of course, they're going to require you through the IRS to list all of your assets.
	Just list them all.
	List last year's value and this year's value.
	So now you have to audit yourself.
	Now you're working for the IRS and you are a witness against yourself in violation of your Fifth Amendment rights and also violation of Fourth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment and so on.
	So you are being recruited by the IRS to testify against yourself and to reveal the assets that you own so that the government can come and steal them from you.
	Yes, this is what Democrats believe in.
	This is how they operate.
	This is what they will do if they win this next election.
	You will own nothing.
	Just like the globalists say, you will own nothing and you will be happy now.
	According to the government statistics, you'll be happy because they'll put out surveys.
	Are you happy?
	And the way that works is if you say you're happy, then they don't arrest you.
	If you say you're unhappy, you go to a death camp.
	So guess what?
	Everybody's suddenly happy.
	You will own nothing and be happy at gunpoint.
	In other words, that's how it will work under communist Kamala.
	I guess we say Kamala the Commie or Kamila.
	So unless you hate private property, vote against Kamala.
	If you want to keep anything that you've ever earned, your savings, your home, your land, your bank accounts, if you want to keep any of it, You've got to defeat Kamala.
	Alright, I mean, that unrealized capital gains tax, that will absolutely gut this country.
	It will be the single most destructive thing imaginable for this economy.
	America's economy will absolutely not survive it.
	Alright, shifting gears.
	Israel's running out of soldiers.
	That's right.
	This comes out of the cradle.
	Israel is now activating 15,000 Reservists, because of the casualties that they have endured in the war in Gaza.
	The IDF is suffering reportedly a thousand injured soldiers each month.
	And apparently Netanyahu plans to wage this war for an extended period of time.
	He's not interested in peace.
	He sabotages every peace agreement.
	And so now, according to this report, Tel Aviv announces on August 20th, It has begun calling previously exempted Israeli citizens to reserve duty in the army to address manpower shortages amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
	So they're activating 15,000 Israelis up to age 35 who had previously completed mandatory military service starting at age 18 but had received an exemption from further service in the reserves.
	Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who is a war criminal, of course, said, quote, The defense minister has instructed to recall reservists who received exemptions from service in the past due to force reductions and are still within the age range requiring service.
	So, what do you think is about to happen?
	Well, Israel is going to war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
	Israel's planning a long-term war with Iran.
	They know they're going to lose thousands more soldiers.
	And so they're desperately trying to activate the reservists who have had some level of training.
	They'll have to retrain them.
	This is going to pull more workers out of the Israeli economy.
	Because remember, these young men, age 35 and under, these are the ones who are actually the people who are getting things done And of course, young women in that age group as well.
	It's the young people who are getting things done in the local economy.
	Well, Israel is suffering just a devastating economic depression, if not collapse at this point, because of the closed ports and the risk of war and investors pulling out.
	So rather than seek some kind of cessation of the hostilities and guide the country towards a peaceful coexistence solution, Netanyahu just says, well, we're just going to have perpetual war.
	We'll just have to sacrifice thousands more IDF soldiers.
	So this is the way that Zionists operate in their own country.
	They sacrifice their own people in order to protect their leaders.
	Sound familiar?
	Hmm, that's the way Zelensky operates in Ukraine, isn't it?
	That's the way the U.S. operates.
	That's the way the U.K. operates.
	Kind of universal even, isn't it?
	That most governments throughout history, in order to protect themselves, they sacrifice the lives of their own people.
	But there's something on top of this that is absolutely devastating to Israel.
	And this story has been covered widely, but I'll read you the headline from MiddleEastMonitor.com called, Colombia bans coal exports to Israel.
	You're like, what?
	I didn't know Israel imported coal from Colombia.
	Well, indeed they do.
	It is probably their top source for coal, and most of the power plants in Israel still burn coal.
	So let's get into this story.
	Colombia's President Gustavo Petro signed a decree banning coal exports to Israel.
	This was reported in Bloomberg.
	And this is designed, quote, to pressure the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu to end the conflict in Gaza.
	The Colombian president said that Israel uses Colombian coal to make bombs to kill Palestinian children.
	Now, I don't know what exactly he means by that.
	Maybe he means that the electricity from the coal is running the bomb factories in Israel.
	Probably that's what he means.
	I don't think he means that coal becomes bombs.
	I mean, coal becomes electricity to make the bombs.
	But clearly, Colombia is not happy about this.
	From the story, since the beginning of the war on Gaza, the Colombian president has repeatedly stressed that Israel is committing genocide, calling on the world to put an end to Netanyahu's violations.
	At the end of February, Petro announced the suspension of arms purchase deals from the occupation following the flower massacre in Gaza when 118 Palestinians were We're martyred while waiting for an aid convoy near the Nabulsi roundabout in the northern Gaza Strip.
	Now, you won't hear any of this reported in the Western press, of course, but that's what happened.
	Colombia is Israel's biggest coal supplier, having sold at about $450 million worth of coal in 2023, according to Bloomberg.
	All right, so Israel...
	It's going to be lights out, folks.
	Israel's going to have lights out.
	Israel will not have energy.
	Now, of course, by the way, Turkey controls access to pipelines of gas and oil, I believe, that Israel relies on for its oil supplies.
	Turkey can cut off those supplies by just halting the pipelines at any moment.
	And if Erdogan was a man of action instead of just a man of words...
	He would actually be doing that.
	Israel is about to suffer an expanding global embargo on the key elements that it needs to continue to function as a nation.
	How will Israel function with no coal?
	How will it function without electricity or without functioning ports because Yemen has already blocked the ports with the operations in the Red Sea?
	How will Israel, how will its economy function when it has to take thousands of people out of the workforce, maybe every six months or so, and push them into the war machine to be killed in conflicts with Hezbollah or Hamas?
	And at the same time, Israel's top military leaders have admitted they cannot defeat Hamas.
	They cannot.
	They've admitted it now.
	It's done.
	They're actually pulling out of Gaza for the most part because they're trying to gather up their resources to be able to attack southern Lebanon.
	Folks, do you realize that the walls are closing in on Israel?
	That Israel is now facing an existential crisis of its own making because the lunatics like Netanyahu wanted to wage endless war?
	And so many people in the U.S., including most of the U.S. Congress, wanted to support that war.
	And by the way, the supporters of war in the Middle East now include AOC on the Democrat side.
	Yep, AOC, who initially came into Congress as someone who opposed war.
	She was going to be the pro-peace candidate.
	And the Democrats, who used to say they supported indigenous peoples all over the world, well, they don't support indigenous people of Palestine, do they?
	AOC is all in for war now.
	She's a war whore of the Zionists.
	AOC all in.
	She might as well just put a neocon tattoo across her forehead because she sounds just like the neocons, just like the warmongers.
	No difference whatsoever.
	AOC has become the uniparty system.
	And she gets up on stage at the DNC and says that Kamala's doing everything she can to try to arrange for peace.
	No, she's not.
	You're a liar.
	Nobody in the U.S. government, other than a few exceptions like Representative Thomas Massey, but nobody in the Kamala Biden administration, for sure, is doing anything to get to actual peace in the Middle East.
	And certainly not Blinken, who is a dual citizen who holds an Israeli passport.
	And by the way, Representative Massey has said that People who have dual passports should not serve in US Congress.
	And I agree with him.
	You should be America first and America only.
	If you have a passport to Israel, if you're a dual citizen of Israel, how do we know where your loyalty lies?
	Because for a lot of those people, their loyalty is with Israel.
	It's Israel first and America last.
	But Israel is imploding.
	Israel's economy is in devastating shape.
	I don't know, honestly, unless this situation is reversed very rapidly, I don't know how Israel survives this.
	And Iran said, in the last 24 hours, they're in no hurry for their retaliation against Israel.
	They did give notice to the United Nations saying that we, Iran, we have the right to retaliate against Israel's illegal assassination of the leader that they killed in Tehran.
	And Iran does intend to retaliate, but on their own timing.
	And because Iran has not yet retaliated, the people of Israel, those who haven't yet fled for other countries, as more and more are doing, but the people who are still there in Tel Aviv and other cities, they can't sleep.
	They're suffering mental health disorders.
	They're under constant threat of incoming missile bombardment.
	How do you plan?
	If you run a business in Israel, how do you plan for the next year?
	How do you order supplies to come in to manufacture products?
	How do you do financial planning if you don't know that your factory is even going to exist?
	Because Iran or Hezbollah might bomb it into oblivion at any moment, tomorrow or a month later or six months later.
	You can't plan as a business.
	And I feel very sorry for the business people there who are just trying to operate a business.
	This is why I pray.
	I pray for the safety of the citizens of Israel.
	Just as I pray for the safety of the Palestinian people.
	I pray for actual peace.
	Not like some silly slogan of someone running for like Miss America or whatever.
	I mean it.
	I pray for peace.
	I pray for abundance.
	I pray that people could get along and trade goods and services instead of trading bombs and cruise missiles.
	And I know how difficult it must be for those business owners in Israel to be able to function.
	I mean, I'm a business owner in Texas.
	It's hard enough.
	I'm trying to plan for what we're going to be selling on Black Friday, God willing, if we make it that far.
	So we had to order supplies and raw materials months ago.
	I've got hundreds of pallets of materials arriving at my warehouse right now.
	I was just there.
	And it is starting to get just stacked to the gills because all these raw materials have to go through laboratory testing, certification overhaul, documentation analysis.
	You know, identity testing, all these steps that you have to go through, and then manufacturing and additional testing and so on, right?
	How do you do that if you don't know that your building is even going to be there next week?
	And by the way, most businesses have to take on financing in order to function.
	They take on loans to buy the materials, to receive the materials, to manufacture whatever product they're making, and then they can pay off the loans.
	Well, if you're a bank...
	Are you going to loan money to a business in Israel right now?
	No, of course not.
	And this is why Fitch downgraded the credit rating of the entire nation of Israel, by the way.
	If you're an investor or a pension manager, are you going to buy Israel debt knowing that the country could be wiped out with a nuclear weapon and that Netanyahu won't back down from war?
	No, you're not going to.
	There are economic consequences.
	To what Gallant and Gavir and Netanyahu are doing.
	They are utterly gutting Israel's economy.
	They are destroying Israel more than Iran, more than Hezbollah, more than Hamas.
	Israel, its leaders, are destroying its economic viability.
	While a thousand casualties a month, and that's probably a very low number, it's no doubt thousands of casualties every month in Israel, a country that doesn't have a very large population to begin with.
	So what's going to be left of Israel by the time this whole thing runs its course?
	Well, if Netanyahu doesn't back off, Israel may not exist at all as we currently recognize it.
	Its economy may be practically non-existent.
	Its ports, its infrastructure...
	It's power grid may all be gone.
	And I say this as a warning to the people of Israel.
	You better turn away from this path or you're going to destroy yourself.
	And by the way, all the money printing from the West can't bring back dead IDF soldiers, can it?
	You can't print money and resurrect soldiers.
	Imagine that.
	You can't print Merkava tanks like you can print $100 bills.
	You can't print Patriot missile rounds for air defense.
	You can't print those.
	You can print, quote, money, just currency.
	You can print currency all day long.
	You can't print soldiers, tanks, missiles.
	You can't print energy.
	You can't print coal.
	And without coal, Israel's done.
	So Colombia...
	has joined what is becoming a global embargo against Israel.
	More and more companies and countries and also pension funds related to universities and various corporations are saying that they are boycotting Israel.
	They will not loan money to Israel.
	They will not sell goods to Israel.
	They will not participate.
	And there was another European country...
	I think it's Ireland, but I'd have to double-check that.
	They just said we're cutting off diplomatic ties with Israel temporarily until there is a peace agreement in place.
	So Israel's up against the wall here.
	And by the way, we're coming up on almost a year.
	I mean, here we are, late August.
	October 7th is, it would be obviously the one-year anniversary, if we use that term, of the attack by Hamas that sparked this genocidal long-term response from Israel.
	It's been currently 320 days.
	over 40,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed, 92,000 wounded, 11,000 missing.
	And now we find out that the IDF is suffering about 1,000 casualties a month as well.
	So this is a genocidal and suicidal assault on humanity spanning multiple nations.
	That's why it's so shameful that representatives in the U.S. government continue to fund this and support it, and they keep sending more bombs to Israel that only prolongs the suffering and death.
	The quickest way to stop this?
	Stop sending arms to Israel.
	Block all arms exports to Israel and tell Netanyahu it's time to negotiate for peace.
	No more bombs.
	You negotiate for peace or you're on your own.
	And if anybody in the US had any backbone, that's exactly what they would be doing right now.
	And kind of related to this, but also a little bit hilarious, The Epoch Times has a story that says the University of California has now issued new rules across their 10-campus university system that bans encampments on college campus, which of course has been used by a lot of the pro-Palestine students and staffers.
	But that's not the funny part.
	The funny part is they're banning the wearing of masks.
	So this is the same university system that during COVID mandated the wearing of masks.
	You have to wear a mask to be in the classroom, right?
	To walk around campus.
	You must wear a mask.
	And now today, because Palestinian or pro-Palestinian people are wearing masks, now they're like...
	No, you can't wear masks.
	The masks are banned.
	These tyrants, right?
	They think they can just control everything.
	So what are they going to do when monkeypox starts spreading across their campuses?
	Are they going to bring back the masks?
	Like, you can wear a mask if it's for monkeypox, but not if it's for Palestine.
	I just can't wait to see the cognitive contradictions and distortions that these tyrant university lunatics are going to jump through to try to tell people whether they can wear masks or not wear masks, depending on what you're doing.
	So I didn't know this, but apparently it's amazing new science that masks only work depending on what you're doing with them.
	So masks, apparently they work if you're talking about COVID, but if you talk about Palestine, then masks don't work.
	Yeah, I wonder how they're going to defend that.
	Are they going to have the Lancet now come out with a study?
	Or the New England Journal of Medicine or JAMA going to come out with a study that say that masks don't work if you say the word Palestine.
	The word Palestine renders masks unusable for some reason.
	Suddenly viruses and monkeypox heebie-jeebies can make it through the mask material.
	This is what they're going to teach on college campuses soon.
	No question about it.
	And by the way, in case you want to know the Truman Show theater factor in all of this, just remember, none of these universities did jack when the protesters were protesting against Donald Trump, did they?
	When the protesters were Antifa or Black Lives Matter or Students Against Trump or whatever, Orange Man bad, then, oh, all of a sudden, you know, all the masks are fine and all the encampments are fine and all the drum beating and the marching and everything.
	Oh, that's all fine because you're opposed to Trump.
	But the minute the students oppose...
	Zionism.
	Oh, now, wait a second.
	You're going to be arrested.
	You're going to be beaten by police.
	You're going to be deported.
	You're going to be sacked from your job.
	You're going to be kicked out of the university.
	You understand, right, what's going on?
	You can't criticize Israel on campus.
	Well, that's a crime, but you can criticize America.
	You see, you can burn the American flag, but don't you dare burn the Israeli flag.
	That would be a hate crime.
	But if you burn the American flag, that makes you a good leftist student at the University of California, which routinely discriminates against Asians, by the way, and white people, both at the same time.
	It's crazy.
	Okay, in other news, I am scheduled to join Roger Stone on his show today.
	I believe that's at StoneZone.com.
	It's his radio show.
	I was on his show a couple weeks ago, and apparently there was a very large, excited response to Roger Stone and I getting together and talking about things.
	So I'll be on his show today if you want to check that out.
	I think that begins at about 4 p.m.
	Central or 5 p.m.
	Eastern.
	At StoneZone.com if you want to listen in.
	I mean, who knows?
	Sometimes these schedules do change.
	I just want to warn you, it's not always set in stone, so to speak.
	You've got to be ready to adapt.
	Who knows?
	There could be some craziness happening in Chicago.
	Maybe all the protesters against the DNC, maybe they light everything on fire.
	Or something like that.
	Or maybe they just start screaming, abort everyone!
	You know, maybe they're not just into aborting the babies.
	Maybe they want to start going crazy.
	That could interrupt things.
	That could change the schedule.
	So just be mindful.
	Be adaptable.
	In other related news, I've also finished all the lyrics for my song.
	Well, I should say all the vocal tracks for my new song called God Is With Us.
	And now we're working on the music video.
	I've released the song just to a couple of close friends to get feedback from them, and they were just blown away.
	They love the song, the message, all of it.
	I've played 19 seconds of it for you previously.
	Probably not going to play that again today, but...
	The song is coming out in a few weeks as soon as we get the video completely done.
	This one's not going to just disappear into the list of unfinished projects, God willing.
	So we will get it to you one way or another in the next few weeks.
	I think you'll really enjoy it.
	However, this is a song that nobody will offer me money to perform this song at the DNC because Well, some of the lines are, they're grooming all the children in the classroom, they're letting all the boys in the girls' bathroom.
	They tell you it's public education, but it's just brainwashing the kids for genital mutilation.
	So that's how the song begins.
	And you can take it from there.
	It does get interesting.
	It's probably not going to be allowed on stage at the DNC, but it would be funny if it were.
	At least I could remember the words, unlike the women's caucus group that can't sing the national anthem.
	Alright, now we've got at our store, HealthRangerStore.com, we've got new proteins in stock now.
	Plant-based proteins based on pea protein and Satcha Inchi protein with the low-glycemic palm sugar sweetener.
	These are formulated in conjunction with Boku Superfood.
	We've got vanilla and chocolate available.
	I have a little video for you I filmed in the studio today.
	Plus, we have whey protein and our own unflavored pea protein if you just want it plain as well.
	Lots of high-quality proteins available at our store right now.
	I fully understand that many of our products are out of stock, and I apologize for that.
	We've run out of the toothpaste, and that's because the FDA gave us all kinds of hell about the importation of the toothpaste, and now we can't get that anymore.
	So we're working on an American-based toothpaste manufacturing situation, but it's going to take a while.
	So just make your toothpaste last if you've got some.
	It's going to be a while.
	I also understand we're out of some of the silver mouthwash products.
	We're working on it, folks.
	We're doing the best we can.
	These are very difficult times just to try to get supplies in.
	You know, the supply chain is being absolutely gutted here in America.
	And that's going to get so much worse if Kamala becomes president.
	And she implements price controls on food.
	Do you realize what that's going to mean?
	It's going to mean...
	I mean, there goes the supply chain.
	Mass famine, engineered by the government.
	That's what they're trying to roll out.
	So seriously, this is one of those elections, although Dr.
	Shiva disagrees with me on this point, but this is one of those elections that is a do-or-die kind of moment for this nation.
	It's like...
	If you elect Kamala, America's done.
	The collapse is absolutely guaranteed.
	If you elect Trump, I mean, we're still going to suffer a debt collapse, no matter who's in the White House.
	But Trump will not accelerate it with engineered famine and engineered shutoff of the domestic energy supply and things that the Democrats cheer for.
	The Democrats, you understand, they want to turn America into a nation that is unsurvivable.
	Where you have no fuel, you have no transportation, you have no food, you have no money, you have no property.
	They want to take it all from you, confiscate it with the unrealized capital gains tax, and then tell you that you're free.
	Oh, you're free because they'll have some emotional ad, some kind of theater whipped up by the Democrats that are nothing but storytellers and fakers.
	But in reality, your life's gotten worse over the last nearly four years, hasn't it?
	Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
	No.
	Almost nobody is.
	And are you better off now than you were 20 years ago?
	Think about it.
	No way.
	Things are worse.
	Things are crazier.
	Because every time a Democrat gets in the White House, they deliberately destroy this nation.
	And we've got to push back.
	And the best way to do that right now is at the ballot box in early November.
	So be ready for that.

	When the cell towers go down and the power grid goes down, you need satellite phones.
	In fact, if I were living anywhere in Israel today...
	I would want a sat phone, you know?
	I mean, incoming missiles are a daily reality there.
	Or even in Gaza or in Iran or even in, let's say, Lebanon.
	Wouldn't you want a sat phone if you live there?
	And a few people do have those phones there.
	And some people have the bivvy sticks, you know, the satellite text messaging devices.
	You can get all these at sat123.com, which has been a longtime sponsor of our show.

	And it's getting greener thanks to more CO2.
	So keep exhaling, folks, and we'll help turn the world more green.
	All right.
	With that said, enjoy the interview here with Dr. Schroeder.
	Shiva.
	Well, it's really a debate.
	It starts out as an interview and then very quickly it becomes a debate.
	But Dr.
	Shiva is so cool about it.
	He's a guy that you can verbally spar with and it doesn't make him mad.
	He's totally cool with it and so we did.
	This is like a little bit of a verbal jujitsu episode that you're about to see, but we covered some really important points, and Dr. Shiva is a brilliant man who has a lot of really powerful ideas for our nation.
	So I think you'll enjoy that interview.
	And then on the other side of that, we have a new sermon that covers 1 Thessalonians, in which I address the rapture.
	Oh yeah, the rapture.
	Going to get a little bit of controversy stirred up with that.
	And then what I call God's multiverse.
	So the rapture and God's multiverse.
	Whoa, what does that mean?
	Well, check it out.
	Stay tuned for the sermon after the interview with Dr.
	Shiva.
	Enjoy them both and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	God bless you.
	We've got new protein products available for you at HealthRangerStore.com.
	Check this out.
	You're going to love this.
	This is formulated with Boku Superfood.
	This is the Organic Super Protein Vanilla.
	Now, this is the vegetarian or vegan-friendly format of protein.
	And look at the main ingredient here.
	It is organic pea protein and then coconut sugar, Satcha Inchi protein powder, vanilla bean powder, and so on.
	This is very clean.
	You know how a lot of proteins have issues with arsenic or sometimes contamination with glyphosate or sometimes E. coli.
	These protein products, like everything we sell, are tested for heavy metals as well as glyphosate, E. coli, salmonella, various microbiology.
	And we manufacture this ourselves.
	So it's not outsourced.
	We make it in-house with our clean room standards, with our epoxy floors and our non-porous walls and all of that to meet the most stringent requirements for clean food manufacturing.
	And then we ship it out of Texas.
	So we've got organic super protein vanilla here available.
	And then also there's another version, which is chocolate flavored.
	Here it is.
	Organic super protein, chocolate, and you know cacao prices are going up, but this is still relatively affordable.
	And look at the ingredients.
	Here we have organic pea protein powder and then cacao powder.
	Organic coconut sugar is a low glycemic sugar that you'll absolutely love.

	Welcome to today's interview on brighttown.com.
	I'm Mike Adams and here we are in election season with a nation suffering from electile dysfunction it seems.
	But the cure to that comes from Dr.
	Shiva and he's our guest today for the next Maybe up to an hour.
	Shiva4President.com is the website.
	That's the numeral four.
	Shiva4President.com.
	Dr.
	Shiva is running as an independent, and he's got a lot to say about, well, the rigging of the process of elections in America.
	Welcome, Dr.
	Shiva.
	It's always a pleasure to have you on.
	Well, it's good to be on here, Mike, on your show.
	But, Mike, what I wanted to jump in was right away share with people A couple of things I want to cover is what's going on with our run for president.
	It's really disrupting a lot of things on both the Trump campaign side as well as on Kamala Harris.
	Kamala Harris filed a lawsuit against us in New Jersey to try to get us off the ballot because she knows I'll take away a lot of votes.
	Trump did the same thing with one of his proxies of the Trump campaign in Wisconsin.
	So, the thing I want to let everyone know is, but they're suing the wrong guy, because this is going to sound weird, but on November 5th, during a presidential election, I am not running for president.
	Neither is Kamala Harris, neither is Donald Trump.
	So, what we need to do is we need to broadly educate people on who is running for president.
	It's really important for people to understand this.
	So, if we step back There's something called the Electoral College.
	We could have big disagreements on whether we like the Electoral College or whether we don't like it, but the reality is that the Electoral College exists and you can't wish it away just from wishful thinking.
	So what is the Electoral College?
	And if we go back to how the founders set up the government, the United States government was an organization that was built To bring together the 13 colonies.
	All of these 13 colonies had their own governance.
	They had their own governors.
	They had their own former representative government at the state level.
	But when they were brought together, each of the colonies and the states today could send representatives to that United States government.
	So they could send House of Representatives to one part of the Congress, the lower House of Congress, U.S. House of Representatives.
	The number of representatives every state got was roughly based on the population.
	Today, it's about if you take the population of a state and you divide it by 700,000, that's how many representatives you get.
	Plus, they get two senators.
	All right.
	But they're sending representatives to the government.
	Now, here's the important thing.
	When it comes to the presidential election on November 5th, and I would say 99.99% of the people don't know this, including lawyers and judges.
	And I'll get to that because of the fact that New Jersey Board of Elections, as well as the Wisconsin Board of Elections, is coming after the wrong guy, questioning my qualifications or putting the cart before the horse.
	But I'll get to that.
	But what everyone needs to understand is on November 5th, When you go to the ballot and you see the name Trump or Kamala Harris or Dr.
	Shiva, you're not voting for me.
	Very important to understand.
	Those names, like Mike in software programming, it's a variable that represents underneath it a set of electors.
	They call it a slogan in some states.
	So, what the founders did was a big disagreement or big debate between Madison and Hamilton, and the compromise was that Every state, in every state, they would have slates of electors run.
	Each slate of electors pledged to a particular presidential candidate.
	The president is the ultimate representative of all the people in the United States government.
	So, for example, in the state of New Jersey, The Democrats selected through their...
	I know you want to talk about this, Mike.
	Through the delegate and through their convention process, or through their delegate process, is a slate of electors assigned to a brand, a variable, a name called Joe Biden.
	The Republicans did that, a state of 14 electors assigned to a double-quote guy called Trump.
	And in New Jersey, 14 electors are running...
	To support me.
	So on November 5th, everyone needs to understand you have a slate of presidential elector candidates.
	Presidential elector candidates.
	So there could be three slates.
	And let me just jump in here because what you're saying makes perfect sense.
	But it's not until January that then these electors...
	Submit their results and point to the president than the winner of the election?
	Is that correct?
	Actually, there's one step before that.
	So on November 5th, all over the country, people are going to each state and they're voting.
	When they choose these names, they're actually voting for slates of electors.
	So let's say in the state of New Jersey, the slate of electors for Dr.
	Shiva is selected.
	That means those 14 electors...
	The 14 electors will be assigned to Dr.
	Shiva on December 17th, which is typically the second Wednesday after the first Monday, okay?
	Okay.
	Which is December 17th.
	So on December 17th, the state legislatures, Mike, they have something called the appointment clause in the Constitution, okay?
	Okay.
	Now every state can decide how it wants to appoint those electors.
	Typically it's done by popular vote.
	So if 40% of the popular vote went to me, 30% to Trump, 30% to Kamala Harris, the state of New Jersey says all of those 14 electors or the slate of representing Dr.
	Shiva wins.
	Then to your point on January 6th is when Congress counts the votes.
	Okay, that's the 20th Amendment.
	Okay?
	So when Congress is counting the votes, let's say one slate of electors, 14 electors, say, oh, our candidate is Fidel Castro, which, by the way, they can do, Mike, or Donald Trump or Mickey Mouse.
	At that point, there will be a constitutional crisis, right?
	Then people in Congress say, whoa, whoa, whoa, we can't vote.
	You can't pledge to this guy.
	Mickey Mouse ain't a candidate, right?
	Because it has to be a person.
	Oh, wait a minute, you can't vote for, you can't, Fidel Castro's disqualified because he wants to overthrow the United States, and he's dead, and he's not a U.S. citizen, right?
	They never stop Democrats.
	Right.
	But this is why on March 4th, 2024, the Supreme Court came down on the Colorado Supreme Court because the Colorado Supreme Court had ruled that Trump was an insurrectionist.
	Therefore, he should not be on the ballot.
	Right.
	I know the Supreme Court said, you cannot do that.
	Only Congress can decide the qualifications of a president.
	So now, let me take you to New Jersey, given that background.
	Again, to everyone listening...
	Don't feel you're ignorant.
	99% of lawyers and judges, I hate to say this, they're dumb about this.
	They think that in a state, that the person who's running is me or Trump or Kamala Harris.
	And let me give you the manifestation of this.
	So, in New Jersey, we have about 8,000, 10,000 volunteers and supporters.
	Among them, they got together and they selected their pool of 14 electors.
	And those pool of electors now, in order for them to get on the ballot, Mike, they have to go through a nomination process, which is, they have to go collect signatures, Mike.
	They have to get about 2,000 signatures, okay?
	And that's what our volunteers did.
	They got 2,000 signatures for these 14 electors who are under the variable name called Dr.
	Shiva.
	Some of, you know, the other set of electors are under Biden.
	This way they could flip Biden to Harris so quickly because all they're doing is they go to the electors and the electors say, oh, now we're going to vote for this person, you see?
	So in New Jersey, we get on the ballot, which means we, meaning those 14 electors who have pledged their vote to me, get on the ballot.
	They fill all the nomination papers.
	They have to be residents.
	They have to be citizens.
	You know, there's certain requirements, two years residency.
	The State Board of Elections, everyone should also listen to this carefully, the states have very limited authority on the candidate, the pledged candidate.
	They can only adjudicate on those presidential electors, okay?
	Whether the signatures were correct, whether the people that signed those 2,000 people were correct in Massachusetts, we had to get 20,000 signatures, okay?
	In Colorado, 300,000 signatures.
	But the states can only adjudicate are the electors proper?
	Because why?
	We're a representative democracy, we're a republic.
	You're not voting for me who's living in Massachusetts.
	You're You're voting for the Office of Electors, okay?
	So, after we get on the ballot, Mike, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party file a lawsuit against me.
	Now, given the background, to tell me that I'm not qualified because I'm not a quote-unquote natural-born citizen.
	Now, think about this in two levels.
	A, these idiots do not understand the law.
	They come after me.
	I am not running for office.
	They should have sued the electors.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Furthermore, the qualification of president, you're putting the cart before the horse.
	That is, the states have no right to that.
	That is done on December 17th or January 6th.
	Okay?
	More importantly, in the state of New Jersey, as in many other states, I can take you through 35 states, just to make my point even more clearer.
	Since 1970, in the recent history, since 1972 to 2012, there were four candidates, Mike, who had electors who pledged their votes to these four candidates, none of whom were quote-unquote qualified.
	Nowhere near, I mean, the natural-born naturalized is not only up to dispute, but natural-born equals naturalized pursuant to the 14th Amendment.
	One of these people is a woman called Linda Jenis in 1972.
	Guess how old she was?
	She was 31.
	Another guy, Roger Calero, 2004 and 8, was a Nicaraguan citizen, not a naturalized citizen, not even national-born.
	Larry Holmes was 32.
	And it's supposed to be 35 is supposed to be the requirement.
	Yeah, that's like a 1 or a 0.
	Are you 35 or not?
	But all of these people were allowed to be, quote-unquote, on the ballot, right, because it's the electors, because...
	Two reasons.
	A, they couldn't go after the electorate because they filled out their papers correctly, just as my case.
	But more importantly, they knew the qualification clause is not for the states.
	Why are they coming after me?
	Because they know I'll take a ton of votes, Mike, a shitload of votes away from Kamala Harris.
	That's why.
	Because, you know, New Jersey has a very large Indian community.
	By the way, this is where it gets even more, not only ironic, but the level of disgusting racism by Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party.
	The 14th Amendment, if you read it, it says, a natural-born citizen or a naturalized citizen is equal.
	Equal means equal, right, Mike?
	There's no, like, if you're doing variable, if you're doing programming or anything in math, isn't equal equal?
	Is there a sort of equal and sort of equal?
	No, it's equal.
	Equal is equal.
	So I'm equal.
	That's why the 14th Amendment allowed blacks to vote, people of color to vote, and Barack Obama to be president or Kamala Harris to be president.
	The 19th Amendment applied the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
	That's why she can run.
	Isn't it freaking crazy that Kamala Harris, supposedly an Indian, whatever she is, right, is going after me a natural...
	Naturalized, naturalized, which means I've been eyes to be natural, okay?
	Which means I'm equal.
	And I can not only run for president, which is what the FEC rule, as a naturalized citizen, but I can also be president.
	Now, people disagree with that.
	This is not the time.
	They have no right.
	So the Democratic Party got a local judge to accept that lawsuit, Mike, which is illegal.
	So I represented myself in court and I said, look, you're conflating, running for president, being for president.
	This is not the time.
	Then this is what's called an administrative hearing.
	The judge is actually not a judge.
	He's actually a hearing officer.
	So he just rubber stamps the attorney who's representing the New Jersey Democratic Party, an Indian guy, a Brahmin Indian guy, Mike.
	So you have an Indian guy working for Kamala Harris in a lower court who just says, oh, yeah, natural born guy can't be president.
	Well, you have no right to say that.
	You're suing the wrong guy.
	Well, especially but the Democrats claim to be defending democracy against Trump.
	And the way that they defend democracy is to disqualify everybody else except themselves.
	And then Kamala, didn't she I mean, she's the result of a coup against Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden has been actually overthrown.
	We've had an insurrection inside the government already, inside the Democrat Party, an insurrection against Joe Biden, have we not?
	We've had an insurrection against Joe Biden, but we've also, in New Jersey...
	They do not want a real Indian like me running.
	When I mean a real Indian, Mike, Kamala Harris has never gone through the immigrant journey.
	I have.
	She's never done anything.
	She's one of the dumbest people on the planet.
	Okay?
	She is installed.
	She's a puppet.
	People go to shattertheswarm.com, you'll understand what the swarm is.
	They want dumb people in high places.
	They want Zionists.
	Kamala Harris is a Zionist.
	Trump is a Zionist.
	Trump openly said that we need to expand Israel and basically he'll die for Israel before he'll do for America.
	Okay?
	So whether it's Kamala Harris or Trump or Bubi F. and Kennedy, these people are Zionists.
	Now it gets even more interesting, right?
	Because these people in Congress right now, you have...
	Ninety nine percent of the people in Congress are natural born citizens, but they've all pledged loyalty to Israel.
	So when the founders created America, in my view, when I've studied this issue very carefully, they were looking for people to be loyal to the United States and the Constitution.
	So they thought people born of the soil would be loyal, quote unquote, natural born, which is never defined, by the way.
	But they also carved out tens of thousands of American naturalized citizens who could also be president at the time.
	That's why read Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5.
	It also says people were citizens at the time of the Constitution.
	Several years later, they made the Marquis de Lafayette, who was a French-born citizen.
	They made him, quote-unquote, natural-born.
	You say, but when you add it all up, how could they do that?
	Well, they were looking for people who are loyal to the United States.
	When I took my oath of allegiance, Mike, and I had to hand in my Indian passport when I was 22 years old, right?
	I had to pledge loyalty to the United States, that I will fight for the United States, that I'll defend the United States.
	The natural born citizens don't need to do that, Mike.
	Yeah, good point.
	But let me add something else to this.
	Sorry to interrupt.
	But we also have now running the Biden administration, and many of these people would be in a Kamala administration or even a Trump administration, dual citizenship, where they have an Israeli passport.
	Antony Blinken is one of these people.
	And when he visited Netanyahu to support Israel's ongoing war crimes, Blinken said, I come to you as a Jew, not as a state leader of the United States of America.
	And who was it?
	Brian Mass, I think, wore his Israeli IDF uniform, military uniform, into the United States, the Congress, into the House, showing that he is loyal to Israel.
	And many of these people are more loyal to Israel than they are the United States.
	But, Dr.
	Shiva, I mean, I think you're loyal to America.
	First, is that correct?
	Yeah, Mike, I am, out of all these people, I'm loyal to America.
	And that loyalty is revealed in the fact that I have been absolutely anti-Zionist my entire life, okay?
	None of these, all these guys are pro-Zionist.
	Trump just got given $100 million from Sheldon Adelson's wife.
	He wants to expand Israel.
	And you look at everyone that surrounds Trump.
	In fact, when Mark Levine introduced Trump at some event, he said, oh, we have the first Jewish president.
	Now, I haven't had a chance to check that out, but I don't want to conflate Judaism with Zionism, okay?
	But the point is, all of these people serve Israel.
	So, I am probably the most loyal among all of them.
	All of these guys.
	By the very fact, everyone can go look at my history.
	I've always fought since I came to this country for this country's values.
	Consistently.
	And the question for everyone right now is, do they want someone who's actually loyal to the working people of this country?
	Or do they want these scumbags?
	From Trump to Kamala to Booby effing Kennedy.
	All these people who have already sold this country out.
	They were absolutely...
	And let's just walk through that.
	Economic policy and foreign policy are glued at the hip.
	So, the existence of Israel, which is basically an aircraft carrier in the Middle East, demands war, okay?
	The existence of Zionism demands war, because without war, Zionism and Israel cannot thrive, because the elites need war.
	And Israel, this big aircraft carrier in the Middle East, serves the interests of war.
	And let me add, this is why Netanyahu keeps adding these impossible requirements to any kind of a peace agreement.
	He will not tolerate peace.
	He doesn't want peace.
	And all the negotiations by Blinken are just theater.
	Just theater.
	Just theater.
	You nailed it, Mike.
	So if you look at this entire thing, the work of James Borfman shows that Trump was put into power by Netanyahu.
	It came out in the FOIA that he did when Roger Stone, you know, the warrant that came out for Roger Stone.
	Everyone should go read Borfman's work.
	It's spectacular.
	It shows very clearly that Trump was put in by Mossad and the Russia hoax was a hoax within a hoax.
	The Russia hoax was a diversion to talk about the reality that it was Mossad and Netanyahu that put Trump into power.
	And the negotiation through Roger Stone was that Trump would make sure the embassy was removed to Jerusalem.
	And two...
	Which it was.
	Which he'd screw up the Iran deal.
	Okay?
	And both of them is what Trump delivered.
	That's why he's president.
	There are some people who argue that actually Hillary won in 2016.
	And she decided not to challenge it.
	We have to all recognize, and I've gone through Enormous amounts of data.
	I know the selection process, how they manipulate votes, how they manipulate signature verification.
	Trump, too, was selected.
	All elections were selections.
	What do you suppose, if Trump just received another $100 million, and I will confirm, he did just give a speech with American flags and Israeli flags behind him, and he said he supports greater Israel, and just technically speaking, for the record...
	For greater Israel to become a reality, Israel would have to murder and slaughter hundreds of millions of additional people beyond Gaza.
	We're talking about all the way to Iraq, by the way, and Syria and Afghanistan, and who knows about Jordan and Egypt and so on.
	But my question to you, sir, is what do you think Trump has promised to do in exchange for this new $100 million?
	Well, if you look at Trump's entire history, Mike, right?
	From the last time he went bankrupt with Atlantic City, the guy that bailed him out, I know you may know this, is Wilbur Ross.
	Wilbur Ross was the head of debt equity financing for the Rothschilds.
	Anyone can look this up.
	And Trump here was taking 14, 15% loans, okay?
	That's one of the dumbest people I know.
	He's not a businessman.
	Trump's a fake businessman, okay?
	The wealth that he had in real estate should have been much higher, okay?
	But the guy dwindled away because he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
	Wilbur Ross came to him and they cut a deal where he still got to own a substantial amount of his holdings, which is unbelievable.
	And he was put on a trajectory to become president.
	He connected with Ari Emanuel.
	He got book deals.
	You just have to traverse this entire guy's history.
	It was decided that he would become president, elections or selections.
	Obama was a selection.
	They needed a white guy to manipulate the American working class after Obama.
	Obama did everything the bankers wanted, talked a big game.
	He was against the banks.
	Trump did everything Big Pharma wanted.
	He did everything that the elites wanted.
	He did everything that the Zionists wanted.
	That was his job, and he got paid handsomely for that.
	And also, not only did he, but so did Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, the whole family did quite well.
	Well, but let me interject this, though, Dr.
	Shiva.
	Many of us, like myself, you know, obviously we are very concerned about the open border situation.
	We're very concerned about the criminal cabal in Washington, D.C. We know that if communist Kamala becomes president, she's going to have price controls on food, wage controls by government.
	She's going to confiscate patents from corporations and people, and who knows what, probably just arrest and incarcerate all of her political opponents or dissidents.
	You know, anybody who speaks out, like you and I, We must defeat Communist Kamala.
	And how do you answer people who say, well, you know, voting for Trump is the only practical way to do that.
	What would you say to that?
	Because, I mean, that's because the system is rigged for a two-party system, right?
	Let's talk through that because I know you've sort of, you know, first of all, I want to appreciate you for You know, having this conversation, most of the people out there who talk a game, right?
	And we know who they are from Rogan to all these guys are afraid to put me on.
	Of course they are.
	But I think I think we need to recognize the people who follow MAGA and Trump.
	Right.
	And some of us were there are being used and exploited.
	The people who believe that they're for the working class, right, who want a better day for the American workers, are also exploited by the Democrats.
	Both wings of the working, both elements, the working people in this country are being manipulated both ways.
	So let me explain that.
	In order to explain that, Mike, to answer your question, We have to understand history, okay?
	In the late 1800s, there was a massive movement of the American working class.
	Bottoms up, Mike.
	It wasn't controlled by Russia.
	It wasn't controlled by Nazi Germany.
	It was an indigenous movement of the American working people as we were transitioning from the agrarian You know, to the industrial age, that how much they were exploited.
	Okay?
	1886, by way of example, was when four American workers were shot, Mike, in Haymarket Square, Chicago.
	I'm not sure if you're familiar with this, and seven American workers were shot in Newing, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by the National Guard.
	Why?
	They wanted the eight-hour workday, Mike.
	Basic rights.
	And those movements grew led by women in Lowell, Massachusetts here.
	This was the American working class flexing its muscles and demanding basic, basic decency, infrastructure, right?
	Roads, clean water, elimination of child labor.
	Children used to work 20 hours a day.
	And those movements, as they grew, Mike, they scared the shit out of the elites, Democrats and Republicans.
	Well, in the 1930s, they had a guy called Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was an elitist scumbag.
	He was a racist.
	He was as elite as you can get.
	He wanted to crush these movements.
	But as these movements grew...
	The working people of this country basically put a gun to, not an actual gun, to the elites at the time, and what they did was they gave them lots of reforms.
	This is why if we have basic rights for working people that came from that moment.
	Twenty years later, Mike, in the 1950s, the left wing and the right wing got together, and this is where it's very important to understand this phenomenon, and that was a McCarthy era.
	You remember that?
	They branded all of these movements as communists.
	Right.
	Capital C Communists being driven from Russia.
	And then all of these bottoms-up trade union movements, by the way, which were inspirational for working people throughout the world, so inspirational that May Day, which is International Workers' Day, was not in commemoration of Stalin or Russia or Chinese Communism.
	They actually were commemorating those four American workers who were hanged in Haymarket Square.
	And everyone's forgotten this has been absolutely just whited out from American history.
	So 1950, the McCarthy era, was about crushing all of this out of the history books.
	So by 1950 to 1970, the left wing took over these bottoms-up organic movements, and they became the big union bosses, mafia.
	And the right wing kept hitting this anti-quote-unquote communist rhetoric.
	And that's what we have.
	All of this was designed, Mike, so the working people in this country wouldn't unite.
	So between 1900 to 1970, just by way of example, do you know there were 11,000 bottoms up strikes in the United States?
	Bottoms up.
	And close to 250 million people, which means we had a vibrant American working class.
	And during that period, to make it economically understandable between 1900 to 1950 to 60 to 70, as the American GDP grew, every income quartiles Salaries grew.
	That means whether you were a hundred millionaire, whether you were, you know, at the twenty, thirty thousand, a worker, because the American working class fought for its rights.
	They kept the elites in check.
	After 1970, by the way, 1970, Mike, is when everything happened.
	Centralization occurred at every level in science and technology.
	In 1970, that's when the unions were taken over by the quote unquote Democrats.
	And then you had this rhetoric, this right-wing rhetoric, capital-C communist rhetoric, not really talking about working people, but Russia, China, etc.
	And all of this was intended not really against communism, but really to make sure working people never rose.
	So between 1970 till today, I'll give you the economics.
	We've only had two million people strike in about 900 strikes.
	That means the entire working class movement has been completely choked and suffocated.
	There's no bottoms up movements, Mike.
	And between 1970 to today, 47 trillion dollars in income.
	And this came out in Iran report of the first and second income quartiles.
	I'm not talking about people who are not working.
	These are hard working Americans.
	Their wages have gone down, and if you do the calculus on that, literally take the area under the curve, that's close to $47 trillion was transferred upward.
	And the pinnacle of that was a pandemic.
	600 billionaires, while everyday working people and entrepreneurs were struggling, their wealth increased by 2.3 trillion, Mike.
	So this is the big elephant in the room.
	This is not about communism.
	It's all bullshit.
	This is about the fact they do not want bottoms up movements.
	They don't want guys like me or you, Mike, everyday people come from the trenches.
	Well, that's for sure.
	That's what this is about.
	This is why Kamala is filing a lawsuit against me because I'm going to take away votes from her.
	And this is why a Trump guy is filing a lawsuit against me in Wisconsin to get me off the ballot.
	You're violating the 14th Amendment.
	But I'm sure you understand the bind that the American voter is in.
	And let me explain it this way.
	Because you, Dr.
	Shiva, you are the most articulate.
	You are the most red-pilled of all the candidates.
	You are the most knowledgeable of science and medicine and the scams of the FDA, the scams of big pharma, the scams against the working class, the scams of taxation and so on.
	And you're not compromised by overseas influences either.
	In an instant runoff election, Dr.
	Shiva, I vote for you number one.
	And then Trump second in an instant runoff election.
	Because then if you don't get enough votes to win, then my vote goes to Trump.
	But we don't have that kind of system.
	We have a rigged system, a winner-takes-all system, and people like me who are forced to choose which candidate that has a viable pathway to 270 electoral votes, which candidate do we need to get behind?
	For guys like me, that's Trump.
	I mean, what other pathway do we have in terms of voting to try to stop America from being totally destroyed by the left?
	So Mike, let's talk through this, okay?
	So if we look at the data, okay?
	Let's just go to the data.
	So the presumption that you're making is that things will be a little bit better, right?
	Let's just logically talk through this, okay?
	That's a presumption, right?
	That Trump will be better than Kamala Harris.
	Is that what we're saying?
	Well, actually, let me correct that.
	I think America is headed for economic debt collapse and cultural collapse.
	I don't want the Kamala communists in charge as that collapse happens.
	I think Trump and his people will do a better job overseeing the collapse that's coming.
	That's my honest opinion.
	Okay, so let's talk through that.
	Okay, let's talk through that.
	Okay?
	Throughout, you know, since I started looking at electoral politics since 1984, Mike, there's always the elites are very good at separating the American working class.
	Notice how close these elections are, 49% to 40%.
	Okay?
	So you're a smart guy.
	I really need you to get this, Mike, because you can have major influence on this.
	Okay?
	Remember Reagan versus Mondale.
	Oh, my God, this is going to be the end.
	Okay?
	Okay.
	Every election is always something disastrous is going to happen if you don't vote for this guy, right?
	The Democrats, oh my god, if you don't vote for Kamala, you know, we're going to have da-da-da to fill in the blank.
	If you don't vote for Trump, da-da-da-da, right?
	Each side, they've done this.
	So let's actually...
	So you agree with that?
	Each side...
	Well, but I can...
	But hold on.
	I can...
	One side of the working class is manipulated to think disaster is going to come if Trump gets elected.
	But I can make the argument, Dr.
	Shio, I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is a great discussion, and thank you for having the patience to do this.
	But if the Democrats win, they want to make structural changes, for example, to the Supreme Court, stack the Supreme Court in a way that would devastate our Bill of Rights, for example, Second Amendment.
	Second Amendment rights would be gone.
	Gun confiscation would become the law of the land if they stack the Supreme Court.
	And the First Amendment, not just the right of freedom of speech, which is under attack.
	And yes, I'm very concerned what Trump will do to appease Israel to ban speech that is critical of Israel's actions, by the way, yes.
	But also freedom of the church and freedom of the press.
	So what I'm saying, Dr.
	Shiva, is...
	I believe that this election does matter than other elections because there will be consequential structural changes by the left that will destroy the balance of power that we've had up to now.
	Right.
	So let's follow through that, Mike.
	So every election, and we can do a long, there's always some disaster, and if we don't do this.
	But do you understand, and again, don't take this because, you know, we've known each other.
	Don't take this personally.
	This is a beggar's approach.
	We're fighting for crumbs.
	Okay?
	Let me tell you why.
	Trump, we can say Kamala Harris is going to be a communist.
	Trump is going to be a bloody Zionist, Brahminist Nazi.
	He's going to throw people in jail, deport them if they're against Israel?
	He said that, Mike.
	He has said that.
	You're correct.
	What the fuck is he talking about?
	I don't know.
	I have the same question that you do.
	That's outrageous that he's saying that.
	Trump is a fool.
	I've met with him.
	He's an actor.
	He's a second-rate actor who's a WWE guy.
	That's who he is.
	And Kamala Harris is just dumb.
	She's one of the dumbest people we know.
	The elites are basically doing this.
	Which actor can they use to manipulate the American people better?
	That's all.
	Who will basically suck off Israel the best, right?
	But more importantly, who will manipulate the working class better?
	Now, if you look at the reality, if you go to shivaforpresident.com, we have this graph on one of the cards.
	That's how I launch my campaign.
	Mike, let's just look at the data as engineers, as scientists, as practical common people, okay?
	If you go from 1970 till today, life expectancy is going like this, Mike.
	Yes.
	Right?
	Fact.
	Cost of living is going like that.
	Oh, yeah.
	All right?
	Now, go from 1970 to today.
	You see the story, oh my god, if you don't vote for the Republicans, it's going to happen.
	Oh my god, if you don't vote for the Democrats, it's going to happen.
	It's all fucking theater, man.
	It's bullshit.
	The reality is, cost of living is going like this, and life expectancy is going like that.
	None of these people matter.
	We need a systems overhaul.
	And that systems overhaul comes by guys like you and broad, massive American people saying, fuck off.
	I'm going to vote for Dr.
	Schieffer for president because it doesn't actually matter.
	What matters is awakening consciousness.
	Well, I agree we need a systems overhaul.
	You're exactly right about that.
	This current system is headed for – It was Carter's, then Reagan, then the Bush's, then the Clinton's, then the Bush's, then Obama's.
	The curve is going like this.
	Life expectancy is going down.
	Cost is going up.
	Dr.
	Sheehy, I mean, you're correct in a general sense, but there are stark policy differences between the two that absolutely matter.
	Well, for example, Trump being pro-energy, pro-domestic energy production.
	And, of course, I live in Texas, and this state is rich in natural energy.
	Why shouldn't we tap into the natural gas and the oil that we have here to power our economy, to bring down food prices, to make farming more affordable, and transportation?
	Where the Kamala communists, they want to ban combustion engines, Dr.
	Shiva.
	Trump would not ban combustion engines.
	And I understand what you're saying.
	At the highest, highest levels, they're all going to print money until this whole circus ends.
	They're all going to wage war.
	They're all going to appease the military-industrial complex.
	You're right about that.
	But before this whole system collapses and goes to shit, there are policy differences.
	And I don't want a hamburger to cost $100.
	I mean, these differences matter.
	Let's talk through that, right?
	But if you look at the cost of living from 90.
	So let's just take what you just said.
	OK, if you take a couple of key performance indicators, cost of living, which I think is a big one.
	Right.
	It affects everyone and life expectancy.
	Ultimately, you can start coming up.
	You know, you're flying an airplane.
	You have a gauge.
	And when you look at the U.S. society, we have gauges.
	Right.
	I can give you a couple.
	Maybe we should add it.
	Let's just look at objective gauges.
	Freedom of speech.
	OK.
	It is Trump who signed the 2016 2018 CISA Act.
	And Elon Musk is for free speech.
	He just threw a guy off, a comedian, off Twitter because he's pro-Palestinian.
	Bassem Youssef, but I don't know that he was banned by X. I just saw that his account disappeared.
	We don't know why.
	And if you look – I have a major lawsuit at the appeals court right now that it is – Elon Musk is one of the defendants with Mark Zuckerberg.
	If you look at my followers – I mean I have – Well, I've sued Twitter too.
	Dr.
	Shiva, I have a lawsuit against Twitter.
	But Mike, but I'm saying Elon Musk, where Elon Musk begins and government ends, nobody knows.
	He's a complete government lackey.
	He's a lackey to Zionism.
	We have to understand fundamentally what are the key performance indicators we look at.
	You're saying there's policy issues, but let's look at the end result for the average American.
	Cost of living.
	It's gone up.
	Regardless of Democrat or Republicans.
	You look at life expectancy, it's gone down.
	Let's look at actually freedom of speech.
	Every step of the way, whether it's been Bush, whether it's been Trump, or the constraints on speech, the fact that the government has a backdoor portal to every social media companies, we have massive consolidation of speech.
	We need a systems overhaul.
	So if you go look at the policy issues that you're saying, When I look at these key performance indicators, the freaking plane is crashing.
	Well, absolutely it is, and I've been very critical of Trump and Operation Warp Speed, and he pushed Pfizer, he pushed the vaccines, and he used the military.
	Mike, what I would respectfully say is you should say we need to build a bottoms-up movement.
	Fuck Trump.
	Fuck Kamala Harris.
	That's what needs to come out of very intelligent people like you, because we need a movement.
	So if you look at what has actually changed society, every point in human history, it's been bottoms up movements.
	The founders called these non-justiciable events.
	They called it the political process.
	The reason I decided to run, Mike, Is because the non-justiciable nature.
	The founders didn't want bloody revolutions.
	They didn't.
	They knew that you had to keep open the concept of new things coming from below.
	They were somewhat explicit about this, but it was implied throughout the Constitution.
	I mean, look at these fucking guys.
	What is Trump?
	I mean, come on.
	The guy, from my view, staged this thing with his ear.
	He's saying, wait, wait, and he puts his hand up.
	Beautiful picture shot.
	Come on.
	And Kamala Harris, all this is stage, Mike.
	It's all theater.
	It's WWE. It's fucking WWE. We should not participate in it at all.
	This is an awesome conversation.
	We should do this more.
	I think the audience really appreciates what you and I are doing here because it's honest.
	It's honest, right?
	Whether they agree or disagree with our points, this is an honest conversation.
	I do not think that the shooting of Trump...
	I don't think his ear getting shot was faked.
	I don't buy that.
	I think they tried to kill him, and they missed.
	We could have a whole conversation on that.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I'm happy to have that conversation.
	But I agree with you.
	But it bottoms up a grassroots movement for the people, not for the military-industrial complex, not just to push Israel's agenda in the Middle East, not just to print more money and make the bankers rich.
	That kind of movement, you know what it would be called under a Kamala administration?
	Another insurrection.
	They would jail those people who are doing that.
	And Trump would call that this is against Israel, and he'd also jail people, Mike.
	Both of them would.
	We have to understand, one wing, they're both two sides of the same coin when it comes to this fundamental issue.
	The fundamental issue is...
	The United States at a fundamental, not the people of the United States, but the elites, the Zionists who run the United States must print money.
	It is called modern monetary theory.
	That's right.
	So they have to print money, okay, in order to keep this whole racket going.
	Well, how do they print money?
	They need to have war.
	That's true.
	Because the United States cannot be a reserve currency without, the only reason it can print money is because it's a reserve currency.
	Well, how do you maintain reserve currency status?
	By not gold, not petroleum, but by the might of F-16s and aircraft carriers, one of them being Israel.
	So this entire economic policy, which is the cost of living going up, which will keep going up, it's based on printing money.
	Well, why is the United States able to print money?
	The United States is able to print money for one singular reason, freaking aircraft carriers and Israel.
	So economic policy, which is the devastation of the American working class and cost of living going up, you know, lifespan going down is directly tied, is directly tied to the policy with Israel, period.
	You are correct.
	So what I'm saying is, be it Kamala or Trump, you know, whoever they are, one's an idiot, one's, you know, a fake act, whatever you want to say.
	They're theater, but they're just puppets.
	They're all puppets figuring out which show moves the people, okay?
	Okay, all right.
	Well, I've said- I've said multiple times we are all living in a giant Truman show.
	And so I agree with the fundamental premise of a lot of what you are saying.
	And I just want to point out here that the dollar world reserve currency status is collapsing.
	156 nations want to join BRICS. BRICS will have the unit backed by 40% gold as an international settlement currency.
	the days of the dollar being able to be endlessly weaponized, and even the days of U.S. aircraft carriers being the dominant force in the region, those days are fast coming to an end.
	I mean, Yemen has carried out a naval blockade, and they don't even have a navy.
	They have shut down the ports of Israel.
	They have shuttered the industry, the investments, the Intel microchip factories in Israel have been canceled because they can't even bring in the materials using the ports.
	You know, Iran has advanced ballistic missile technology that can pierce the Iron Dome.
	Russia, its economy is thriving even after the weaponized sanctions and so on.
	The days of this whole 40-, 50-, 60-year reign of terror by the West and its money system, it's coming to an end.
	Don't you think?
	So I've thought about this carefully, okay?
	And this is my view on this, okay?
	Where does...
	I don't know if you know this, but I've talked to...
	I was at this conference about a year ago.
	Where does the Chinese Premier have his money?
	Where does he keep his money in?
	Do you know he owns U.S. Treasuries?
	Well, but the fewer and fewer U.S. Treasuries, they're rolling them into gold, aren't they?
	Well, my point is, if you go to India, the elites of India, who run many, you know, this crazy stock market in India, okay?
	That many of them do stock buybacks, but they buy U.S. Treasuries.
	I want you to consider this.
	The global elites are a swarm.
	Whoever they are, whatever they wear, whatever state they're in, they are unified.
	They may have their minor differences.
	By the way, BRICS was started by J.P. Morgan.
	The original white paper came out of J.P. Morgan.
	I'm saying the elites over here have an understanding.
	And they have an understanding to be very, very cautious about the U.S. dollar because so much of their wealth is still in the U.S. dollar.
	And so we have to be careful to think doomsday is coming tomorrow.
	This is what I'm saying.
	The elites are always very clever.
	Look, I've been around these guys, Mike.
	I know these guys.
	I used to teach them at MIT. Right?
	Quantitative easing, who would have ever thought about that in 2008?
	They made it up, poof!
	Okay?
	They made it up one day.
	So the elites are very clever because they control the entire chess game, they control all of it, to make up shit as they need.
	So let's not underestimate them.
	We should not think Iran or Russia is going to defeat, one wing of the swarm is going to defeat the other wing.
	There's only one way to defeat this, and it is the end, the occupation of America.
	See, people are thinking, like I'll see on Twitter, oh my god, I support Iran.
	What are you talking about?
	All over the Middle East, there have been massive anti-Zionist protests.
	All these Arab and Persian leaders, they're so afraid of these anti-Zionist protests actually coming on them.
	They are in face value saying, oh yeah, we too are against Zionism.
	But they oppress their own people, Mike.
	We have to get away from this nation-state model to recognize it's a people versus a swarm.
	Well, I agree.
	I agree we have to get away from the nation-state model ultimately.
	When are we going to start?
	When are guys like you, who are very smart guys, going to say, fuck it.
	Fuck this lesser of evils.
	Let's build this bottoms-up movement.
	Let me answer that, though.
	One of the ways that we do that is with decentralized power.
	For example...
	You know, crypto.
	Crypto is decentralized money that cannot be counterfeited by any nation.
	And that's why the nations of the world are attacking Bitcoin and other crypto.
	And I'm not a Bitcoin fiery-eyed absolutist by any means, but I'm saying that we can take our power back through decentralized systems, decentralized medicine, decentralized money, decentralized...
	Yes, go ahead.
	Ultimately, Mike, I think the people...
	So if you look at it, we don't need everyone.
	Enough people to raise their consciousness to recognize we have to shatter the swarm, and we have to start participating and calling out their process.
	When a guy like me comes out from below, everyone should be writing me in, in the states that we're not getting on the ballot.
	And it's a show of defiance.
	That's what this campaign is about.
	But if you look at crypto, even, you and I know throughout the history of technology, whenever technology came, you can go back to the Gutenberg printing press, which was actually done by the Chinese, by the way.
	But whenever new technologies came, we said, oh, my God, it's going to liberate humanity.
	It is not technology that has ever liberated humanity.
	It is people's movement.
	Because whenever technology came, for a period of time it seemed like it was going to help us, and then the elites consolidated.
	This happened with the printing press, four major publishing companies.
	You and I know in 1993 when the internet came, I wrote a book I don't have here called The Arts and the Internet, The Beginning of the Revolution.
	But what ended happening for major companies essentially started supporting homesteading on the Internet, right?
	Facebook, Facebook, YouTube, you know, Twitter, et cetera.
	So people did not build their own independent websites with their own local Internet service providers.
	All of it now is consolidated with four major telco providers and four major really social media companies.
	Shiva, but it's guys like me who, I've built platforms.
	I've built Brighteon to be decentralized.
	I've built Brighteon.io.
	You know, we built Brighteon.social.
	I'm trying, man.
	I'm trying.
	We are...
	But now think about what happened, Mike, if those of us who get it, imagine the Verizon workers who work at Verizon, okay?
	And this may sound really radical and revolutionary, but here's the bottom line.
	Bitcoin, yeah, you have your wallet, but you need the infrastructure to transact it, right?
	True.
	Right, okay.
	Who's the one who maintains this infrastructure?
	Well, yeah, now it's globalist compliant.
	Exactly.
	Exchanges at this point, like Coinbase.
	Exactly.
	So ultimately, you can have all your Bitcoin, but no one can transact because they're going to shut you down.
	Okay?
	The only way out of this is going back to the history of the United States when the working people of this country flexed their muscles.
	And it wasn't quote unquote communist.
	You see, the anti-communist rhetoric, Mike, is designed by the right and the left.
	And the left to make sure we don't build these bottoms up workers movements.
	When I'm talking about workers' movements, true people's movements bottoms up.
	Because what would happen if tomorrow, Mike, supposedly, hypothetically, the workers at Verizon and Vodafone and AT&T said, fuck it, okay?
	I don't support GMOs.
	I don't support the pandemic.
	We run the routers.
	We're not going to run them for you anymore.
	You see what I'm saying?
	What happens then?
	That is a movement.
	When the working people of this country say, these things that we have created, we want to use for the mass of humanity, not for a set of people, not for Zionist scumbags to control.
	That's political power.
	And that's what needs to happen.
	And that's why they crushed these bottoms up trade unions that came up in the 1800s and branded them uppercase communists.
	You see?
	This is what actually happened, Mike.
	Yes, blockchain is great, but you can't execute blockchain if we the people don't own this infrastructure.
	Well, you're exactly right.
	And this is one of the reasons we're suing Twitter is because they still ban links to Brighteon.com.
	Even as Elon Musk says, oh, we're all about free speech.
	We sent letters to his legal team for six months.
	They refused to do a damn thing about it.
	So we sued him in federal court.
	We filed that suit on Memorial Day.
	Mike, what about if all the workers at Twitter who are listening, you know, who are not 200 billionaires, they say, you know what?
	What Mike Adams and Dr.
	Shiva is saying, right, we're going to strike tomorrow.
	Fuck it.
	Right.
	What happens?
	That's a people's movement.
	They don't want people moving there.
	But instead, what they've done is, if you notice, all the major tech companies are run by brown-skinned Brahmins, okay?
	Indians, who were always compliant with imperialism.
	If you go back to the history of Indian or colonialism, When the Indian people are rising up for a good revolution in India, they brought in a brown guy, Gandhi, who was serving British imperialism.
	And then they created an entire Indian infrastructure where brown people oppress brown people.
	It's a neo-colonialist attitude.
	I would like to posit to you, look at all the tech companies.
	They're all run by the same Indian neo-colonialist mentality.
	People who are compliant.
	We need to build a bottoms-up movement.
	The working people of the world are the people who actually do work.
	We should own common infrastructure, right?
	So the United States Postal Service, by way of example, the founders When they created, these guys were very freaking bright.
	They knew that you cannot have free speech.
	Free speech must equal free reach.
	So they created an institution called the Postal Service, where every American citizen could transact a piece of mail, which was communication at the time, before the internet, for pennies.
	They wanted free speech to equal free reach.
	Up until 1970, nearly 70% of the mail was political mail.
	Right-wing, left-wing, Green Party, Communists, Nazis, everyone.
	Yeah, and the Postal Service didn't open the letters and read the mail and ban certain messages.
	Exactly.
	It was a 20-year sentence in prison.
	When we moved to electronic medium, we lost all of that, Mike.
	And I remember meeting with the Postal Service.
	I said, you guys need to offer the American people something.
	In the electronic version, they thought it was idiotic.
	Now who controls it?
	Elon Musk?
	Come on.
	Elon Musk has never invented anything.
	It shouldn't be under the control of any one person.
	And by the way, Susan Wojcicki is not a brown person.
	But then again, she's dead.
	She's already dead, man.
	She was one of the worst censors of YouTube.
	And she censored me and many other people and then claimed to be protecting the population from vaccine misinformation.
	Well, she took a bunch of jabs.
	She died from cancer.
	Yep, exactly.
	And when I meant brown people, I'm saying I find it quite interesting, right?
	Many of the tech companies are headed by these Indian neocolonials, so many of them are Brahmins, okay?
	Kamala Harris, by the way, to people listening, India has a caste system.
	That's why my parents left India.
	Kamala Harris is a Brahmin of Brahmin of Brahmins, okay?
	A Tamil Brahmin, like Vivek the Snake Ramaswamy.
	And to me, it's fascinating, Mike, as someone who came bottoms up, I actually represent the real Indians among the 1.8 billion people.
	Most of them are non-Brahmin, Mike.
	And Brahminism is equal to Zionism is equal to Nazism.
	It is a theory that a few chosen people should run the world, Mike.
	Well, there you go, Dr.
	Shiva dropping major bombs right at the end of this interview.
	That's going to take another hour to unpack all that.
	There's a lot of stuff to unpack, but the bottom line is, Mike, drop Trump Emphasize to people we need to build a bottoms-up movement, and that's what we need to do.
	People just need to cut the cord.
	We need to all get off the plantation, Mike.
	At a certain point, you just need to get off the fucking plantation.
	So I'm going to continue to build decentralized technology.
	As of this moment, you haven't yet convinced me that I shouldn't vote for Trump in the election in Texas.
	I'm still going to vote for Trump.
	I still think that you would be number one if we had an instant runoff system, by the way.
	I love your message.
	I love your intelligence.
	I love how articulate you are.
	But in my heart...
	I still think that Trump's policies are going to be far better for America than Kamala's policies, but I'm not blind to the things that you have said.
	Mike, here's one policy.
	You say stuff against Israel.
	You may end up in an internment camp under Trump.
	Well, if necessary, I will sue the Trump administration, and we'll take it to the Supreme Court and see what happens, because I'm not going to put up with any of that anti-First Amendment crap from Trump or anybody else.
	Let me be clear about that.
	Trump's going to get an earful from me about that.
	What the Supreme Court just did.
	In the lawsuit of Murthy v.
	Biden, which was a fucked up lawsuit, they intentionally left out the actual evidence for my stuff from 2020.
	Basically, the Supreme Court has rubber stamped that government can have linkages to social media companies.
	The Supreme Or a bunch of Zionists, too.
	It's pretty sick.
	Zionism has occupied the United States.
	Trump is one of the biggest, fiercest Zionists.
	He has profited from Zionism, and he will jail you and I if we, under his administration, we say stuff against Israel.
	Well, okay, but Kamala will jail us just for loving America.
	And then you say Trump will jail us for criticizing Israel.
	So, you know, we're in trouble either way.
	No, we need to build a bottoms-up movement, period.
	I'm with you.
	I'm with you on that.
	Yeah.
	All right, Dr.
	Shiva, we've got to go.
	Thank you.
	This is a great conversation.
	I love this, and I love your willingness to have this conversation.
	And the website, folks, is shivaforpresident.com, and that's the numeral four, shivaforpresident.com.
	And remember, you can write in Dr.
	Shiva, even if he's not on the ballot in your state.
	Yes, final words, Dr.
	Shiva.
	Go back to that website and click on the download section.
	Okay?
	You're talking about decentralization.
	There's a...
	Yeah, click on downloads right there.
	Yep.
	You see where it says down?
	Yeah.
	And scroll down, Mike.
	So everyone right there.
	Stop right there, Mike.
	Zoom in on that.
	I want everyone to get that card printed out and plastered everywhere.
	The front of the card says write in Dr.
	Shiva and the right of it gives the simple thing.
	They're killing you.
	Shatter the swarm.
	Okay?
	Got it.
	That's it.
	That's our message.
	We need a systems overhaul.
	These people are going to continue to kill us, and they don't give a fuck about us.
	They give more about Israel and making money and getting $100 million in their pocket and letting dumb idiots like Kamala Harris there.
	Two actors.
	Well, we do need a systems overhaul, and I think it's coming one way or another because I don't think this system is sustainable, the one we're living in right now.
	But, Dr.
	Shiva, thank you so much for your time and your energy and your thoughts.
	I would say God bless you, man, for what you're doing here.
	Thank you for speaking out with us.
	Mike, thank you.
	Thank you for the opportunity to share with your audience.
	You have the courage to do that.
	I appreciate that.
	All these other people out there are grifters talking big game, but they will not put me on because they're afraid.
	Oh, yeah.
	They are allowed to become super popular because they won't talk to people like you.
	That's how it works.
	You nailed it.
	You nailed it, Mike.
	All right.
	Dr.
	Sheva, thank you.
	Have a wonderful day.
	Yep.
	And thank all of you for watching.
	Hope you enjoyed this interesting and sometimes heated conversation.
	But hey, this matters.
	This is our future here.
	And Dr.
	Shiva is right on point after point after point.
	Do not discount this man and his perception and his intelligence and his grasp of the issues.
	I still plan to vote for Trump because, well, for the reasons I mentioned in the interview, but Dr.
	Shiva, he's going to play a very important role in helping educate us about regaining our freedom from here forward.
	So thank you all for watching today.

	Welcome to today's sermon.
	I'm Mike Adams, and today we're covering 1 Thessalonians, which is, of course, another letter from Paul.
	Paul was quite a writer, wasn't he?
	Paul was, I think, the most amazing apostle, quite a teacher, quite a man of faith, and also, you know, he tried to nudge everybody in the right direction.
	Basically, he spent many of his years running around to the various churches and saying, hey, get back in line.
	Because, of course, they all went off script.
	And that's kind of the whole story of the Bible, is mankind turning against God and becoming wicked and turning into perverts and groomers and slavers and drunkards.
	And then every once in a while, somebody like Paul comes around and is like, hey, what are you doing?
	Paul is like the parent of the ancient people who were acting like silly children.
	Anyway, Thessalonians, well, first and second Thessalonians, these are the only two books of the Bible that I'm aware of that are misspelled, a complete typo, because, of course, Paul is speaking to the people of Thessalonica, or Thessalonica, depending on how you Paul is speaking to the people of Thessalonica, or Thessalonica, depending on how you
	And, you know, technically, for example, you're speaking to the people of Corinth, you would call them Corinthians, which is, of course, the name of, you know, first and second Corinthians, also letters from Paul.
	Or let's say if you were speaking to a group of people from Egypt, you would call them, what, Egyptians, right?
	So if you were going to speak to a group of people from Thessalonica, or Thessalonica, what would be the correct term?
	It would be Thessalonicians.
	Right?
	Thessalonians.
	But it got shortened to Thessalonians, which is a typo.
	Just saying.
	This is a major typo in the Bible.
	Nevertheless, it does not take away from the important lessons of the Bible, but I cringe every time that people say Thessalonians.
	What about the sea?
	What about the eka?
	Eka.
	That would be like if you were speaking to a group of people from Macedonia and you just lost the D and you just called them Massians instead of Macedonians, right?
	That's the same to shorten Thessalonians to Thessalonians.
	Anyway, aside from that, this is a very interesting book.
	So, chapter 1 of Thessalonians is Paul saying, hey church, what's up?
	Let's all give praise to God, and it's awesome that you did really good stuff before.
	Okay, that's all chapter 1.
	Now, we get to chapter 2.
	And in chapter 2, he talks about the persecution of Christ and the Christian church by the Judeans, right?
	So chapter 2, verse 14,"...for you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God." And this is a compliment, of course, which are in Judea in Christ Jesus.
	For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen just as they did from the Judeans who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and have persecuted us.
	and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins.
	But wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
	So what he's saying here is, hey, we're all being persecuted, and the Judeans murdered Christ, and they also prevented us from preaching the word of Christ to the Gentiles.
	In other words, the Judeans, or Israelites, were I know it's not exactly the same thing, but I will use them semi-synonymously here.
	They were very much opposed to Christ and the teachings of Christ, even Christ living.
	That's why they killed him.
	And Paul is saying that actually part of being a Christian is to share in the persecution or to walk in the persecution that Christ endured.
	So, in other words...
	Don't be surprised if you're persecuted as a Christian, especially by the Judeans.
	And then in chapter 3, as Paul writes, he's talking about all the wonderful things that the people of Thessalonica have done who are Christians and And how they've embraced the teachings of God and so on.
	But then in chapter 4, he begins to correct them.
	And this is something that Paul does routinely.
	We've covered this in other sermons.
	And he does this in a very gentle fashion because he's speaking to people that may have strayed from the church in ways that can be corrected.
	In other words, he's not speaking to like full-blown demons or full-blown Satanists that hate humanity and murder babies.
	He's speaking to people who have strayed from the faith.
	And so in chapter 4, verse 3, he says, For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality.
	This is a common theme that Paul is reminding, especially members of the church, basically.
	Well, you remember in previous sermons we've covered this, like in 1 Timothy, you know, stop showing up to church dressed like a whore, right?
	Verse 4, he says, That each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God.
	He's basically saying, don't run around like fornicating animals, right?
	I mean, that's my paraphrase.
	Yes, I will paraphrase Paul into the year 2024, the present day, and put in a little bit of street lingo as necessary.
	But respectfully, I'm trying to be true to the word of Paul, just sort of translated into the modern time and sometimes very much shortened because Paul was very flowery.
	You know, he would spend an entire chapter thanking and greeting, you know, Praise be to Jesus Christ and the living God.
	And then he would say what he wanted to say.
	And then he would end with like five poems, you know.
	So he was kind of long-winded.
	It goes on to verse 6, that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such.
	And we also forewarned you and testified.
	In other words, stop cheating, fellow people.
	Huh?
	For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.
	So remember, we've talked about the issue of cleanliness and purity, and also purity of blood, which is important to protect through morality.
	So, in other words, sexual immorality contaminates your blood because you are sharing your You know, pathogens or sexually transmitted diseases or whatever with multiple sex partners, and it does affect your blood.
	And so it makes you unclean.
	And so here he says in verse 7, For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.
	Therefore, he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us his Holy Spirit.
	In other words, he's saying, hey, if you run around fornicating like animals, then you are rejecting God.
	Even though Christ gave his life for you.
	Now, of course, in this chapter of Thessalonians, we're going to get into the concept of the rapture, which I know is highly controversial.
	And I know there are lots of different views and opinions on what the rapture means.
	But let's read the words here.
	Because Paul, in his letter, he's writing about the comfort expectation of the return of Christ and why it matters to be a person who walks in alignment with the teachings of Christ.
	And then he talks about He's not talking about the cloud where you store your photos on your iPhone.
	So let's get into this.
	Verse 13, he says, Now, when he says concerning those who have fallen asleep, this is a very interesting terminology because this coincides strongly with the way we use words.
	We say that when someone is ignorant of what's happening in the world, we say they're asleep.
	And when someone is well aware, we say they're awake.
	And sometimes we might share stories with each other like, when did you awaken or when did you wake up?
	And someone will say, well, I woke up in 2016 or I woke up, you know, in the COVID pandemic.
	I woke up when they told us we had to wear a mask or whatever.
	There are lots of different events where people say, I woke up.
	And then the other people who didn't wake up, you know, some of those people are still driving around in their cars wearing masks by themselves.
	Okay, okay.
	That's called being asleep.
	And it's interesting that Paul uses the same terminology in much the same way, even though this is, of course, you know, many, many centuries ago.
	So I think that's fascinating.
	Verse 16, he says,"...for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout." With the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first.
	So now you're like, whoa!
	Step back.
	Let's absorb this.
	Okay.
	Again, verse 16.
	You're like, you thought this was going to be just a letter from Paul, and now it's like cosmic, you know, fracturing of the multidimensional system is opening up in the sky.
	So this is more than just a letter to the Thessalonians, as I would say.
	That have been written as a typo in the Bible.
	But again, for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout.
	Okay, so a lot of this is obviously metaphor.
	So this means, of course, the return of Christ.
	Christ being the personification of the Lord, of God.
	So the Creator expressed himself in the form and the image of a man.
	And that man is named Jesus, Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the Son of God for this very reason, but Jesus Christ is also the human being, Projection or personification of God Himself.
	So when it says the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, to me this means two things.
	It could be the return of Christ, or it could be God the Creator returning in a form that is larger than the personification of Christ.
	In other words, Christ and more.
	Christ and God, possibly.
	It doesn't really say in the Bible what this means.
	But it just says the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout.
	Now what does it mean with a shout?
	Does this mean an actual audible command?
	Like, hey y'all from the sky?
	Probably not.
	It probably means some kind of commandment.
	Some kind of cosmic, biblical shout which could be maybe a great...
	Psychic awakening, like he touches everyone's consciousness at the same time to say, I am here.
	And that could be the way the Lord shouts to people.
	Now, let me bring in something here that's very interesting that happened to me.
	And this happened on June 12th, I believe 2021, when I was visited in Audibly, audibly, by the Archangel Michael.
	This is the second and the last time that angels have spoken directly to me.
	It's only happened two times in my life.
	I told you the first time, which saved my life during a freezing ice storm when a tree almost fell and crushed me when I was in college.
	And at that time, the voice told me to walk around the perimeter of the tree, which I did, and then it crashed down right where I would have been.
	So an angel saved my life when I was, what, like 21 or something like that.
	But I didn't hear any word from any angel for all those years since until 2021.
	Again, June, oh, did I say June 6th?
	No, June 12th.
	Because it's 6-12.
	So it's the month of 6 and the day of 12.
	So it's June 12.
	Excuse me if I misstated that.
	June 12, 2021 is when this happened.
	I was awakened in the morning after having a great sleep, full night of sleep.
	I was awakened with a piercing, loud, audible voice.
	That spoke very clearly, spoke to me.
	It was the voice of a man, a man speaking, I would say, just regular English, but sort of the voice of a heroic type of person, a voice of confidence, a voice of manliness, you know, but a voice of calm.
	It was not an alert.
	It was not any kind of alarm or command.
	It was simply a matter-of-fact voice.
	And the voice said very clearly, I heard it as clearly as I hear anything, said very simply, I am Michael, and I have arrived.
	And that was it.
	And then, of course, I came to know that that was the archangel Michael that had spoken to me But I heard it audibly.
	Now, understand, you know I don't drink alcohol.
	You know I don't take drugs.
	I'm not on any prescription medications.
	I'm not on psychedelics.
	I don't do psychedelic mushrooms.
	I don't do recreational drugs.
	I don't take in psychoactive substances.
	That's not part of what I do.
	So this was not a hallucination.
	This was also not a dream.
	I was awake, eyes open, alert, aware.
	I had already awakened.
	And then after I had awakened, this voice came to me.
	It was startling.
	My heart raced.
	Because I looked around, like, who's talking to me?
	Like, where is this voice coming from?
	And it seemed to be coming from all around.
	It wasn't off to the right.
	It wasn't straight ahead.
	It wasn't above.
	It was everywhere.
	The voice penetrated everything all around me, and it spoke as clear as day.
	I am Michael, and I have arrived.
	And finally, after my heart rate kind of calmed down a little bit, and I found myself asking, and what else?
	I'm like, is there part two to this?
	And there wasn't.
	I'm like, what do I do with that?
	What do I do?
	So I took it upon myself to learn something about the Archangel Michael.
	Who is a very interesting figure, also a warrior of truth, but a defender of the innocent as well.
	And I think we'll do a sermon about Archangel Michael.
	But the reason I even bring this up is because, you know, here we are in verse 17 of chapter 4 of 1 Thessalonians, says again, for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout.
	Well, I've heard that.
	An angelic voice.
	I've experienced that.
	And so this isn't an odd idea to me.
	And I know many of you have had angels or Jesus himself or God himself has spoken to you at various moments throughout your life or guided you in certain directions or maybe halted you from doing something that would not have been a great idea.
	And so this is not an alien idea for many of us, if not most of us.
	So I believe that this is more literal.
	Like the Lord does come to us when it says descend from heaven.
	Well, heaven is a different dimension.
	So heaven is not, you know, just in the upper atmosphere, right?
	It's convenient to think of it that way, heaven above and hell below.
	But in fact, heaven is a different dimension.
	It's a different dimensional space way beyond these three dimensions.
	And hell is also a different dimension.
	It's not like deep underground as if you kept drilling deeper and deeper that you would find hell.
	No, you'd probably just find oil.
	Or eventually magma, you know.
	We found molten iron.
	Oh, great.
	Try not to let it out or we'll lose the magnetosphere.
	But in any case, heaven and hell are different dimensional spaces.
	And that's one of the reasons why God is everywhere.
	God is omnipotent and omniscient because he exists outside and let's say as a superposition of the limited construct of the three-dimensional space and the very linear progressive flow of time that we live in.
	God isn't limited to those things.
	God can move throughout time.
	Forward, backward, actually all time exists simultaneously to the mind of God.
	And that's why when God writes the Bible, or let's say speaks through others who write the words of the Bible, or speaks through Moses in the Old Testament, or speaks through Paul, the things that God is laying out, or even you could say in the book of Revelation, speaking through John, whichever John that was, The things that God says are multi-dimensional and multi-temporal in their meaning.
	There's a lot of debate about, oh, this verse in the book of Revelation, it must be speaking about only this one year, this one time, this one event.
	Or some people say, no, that was 70 AD, or that already happened, it's already done, that's it, it's done.
	What if, because God is a multi-dimensional, multi-temporal consciousness, super-intelligence, supernatural intelligence, what if God encoded in the words of the Bible events that happen repeatedly or cyclically?
	I believe that is the case.
	I believe the Bible contains truth for each time, each generation, for each millennia.
	And if it's true in one instance, it doesn't make it false for other instances.
	Okay, I hope I'm not getting too sort of cosmic or philosophical in this, but this is important to keep in mind that God is a supernatural creator, intelligence, being of sorts.
	I mean, I don't mean a physical being, but way beyond a physical being.
	And that the universe in which we live is It's a very small projection of all the possibilities that exist.
	We are in one, you might say from a physics point of view, we are in one collapsed rendition of the superpositions of possible multiverses.
	And God oversees all the multiverses because he created them all.
	And he can move throughout the multiverses in any way he wishes.
	He can move from one realm to another.
	So when they say that the Lord himself will return or Christ will return, the Lord will descend from heaven, what it can mean is that God is just sort of blipping into this universe and As he's making the rounds, he's cruising around, maybe checking out all the different universes across the great multiverse that he created, and he's checking them out, saying, hmm, this one's interesting.
	You know, in this one, he's talking about Earth, they poison the food supply and murder their babies.
	Maybe we should fix some of this.
	I don't know.
	This is the craziest one we've found yet.
	He's probably telling his buddies, like, look, we found the only universe in the entire multiverse where they say it's science that men can get pregnant and have babies.
	This is crazy!
	It's almost like Earth has become a tourist attraction of wickedness and evil.
	At least that's what I imagine.
	If God had a museum...
	Of wickedness and weirdness and just, I don't know, mass mental illness, you know?
	Earth, in the present day, at least in Western civilization, that would be the showcase.
	Like, welcome to the museum of perversion and twistedness.
	Anyway, okay, continuing.
	So then it says in verse 16 that he'll descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel.
	And with the trumpet of God.
	So here we go.
	The voice of an archangel.
	Well, that's what I heard on June 12, 2021.
	The voice of Michael.
	Very clearly a calm but masculine, male, angelic, heroic voice.
	And with the trumpet of God.
	I did not hear trumpets.
	But there was a time that I was awakened by mice in my house who did sound like a trumpet.
	And I don't know if you've ever had a mouse.
	I'm not claiming that this is the trumpet of what God is talking about.
	It's just a side note, a tangential thought.
	But have you ever heard mice?
	Have you ever heard mice sound like little trumpets?
	Have you ever heard that?
	Well, I don't know.
	Maybe they're rats or mice or something, but I had a mouse infestation about a year ago that was pretty bad because I don't like to kill mice with mousetraps, so I have to live capture them all and then relocate them.
	So it's a tedious thing of trying to rescue and relocate a bunch of mice because I don't like mousetraps.
	I think they're too cruel to mice because sometimes they don't always...
	Kill them quickly, you know.
	And I'm very compassionate towards animals even.
	Yeah, I know.
	Even mice.
	It sounds silly.
	But that's the way I am.
	That's my heart.
	I don't want any animal to suffer.
	And mice are mammals, by the way.
	Mice are mammals.
	So I don't want any...
	Any being or animal to suffer.
	So I capture them live.
	And if you get behind on that, then there can be quite a few.
	And when mice get numerous in your house, I discovered, they will begin to talk to each other.
	And they can make a lot of noises, at least the mice here in Texas.
	And one night, I'm telling you, they sounded like a mouse trumpet, like...
	And I woke up and I was like, what is going on?
	I'm going to have like a brass band of varmints in the house here.
	It's like, welcome to today's band.
	We got Mickey Mouse on the trumpet.
	And we got Ricky the rat on the tuba.
	And this is just what happens in my house.
	And I was like, this is crazy.
	I've never heard mice sound like trumpets here before.
	Crickety cricket on the tambourine.
	Hard to sleep through all that, right?
	Anyway, I don't think that the Bible's talking about an actual trumpet.
	I think this is simply a consciousness announcement.
	It would be more like a trumpet of the mind.
	Like, your mind would go, whoa, what was that?
	Like, touched by God, all of a sudden everybody's mind just tunes in, and God's like, I'm here.
	And it would be like, ta-da!
	But, I mean, at a mental level.
	And everybody, like, the world will change in that moment.
	Everybody will realize, whoa!
	Whoa, God is real!
	Actually, something's happening.
	This is really interesting.
	A grand awakening, okay?
	Or at least a tap on the shoulder of your mind.
	Like, tap, tap, tap.
	This is God.
	I'm back!
	You know, and everybody, especially all the Satanists, would be like, whoa!
	What have we been doing this whole time?
	You know, in the abortion centers, like, they'll put down the scalpels.
	Huh?
	What?
	You're interrupting our rituals here, the demon rituals.
	But you get the idea.
	So God is going to tap everybody on the shoulder, mentally speaking, and say, I'm here.
	And then it says, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
	So it's saying that those who died as believers, their souls will rise first.
	What does that mean?
	Their souls will be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven.
	That's what that means.
	Now, I don't know why their souls weren't already welcomed into the kingdom of heaven.
	I don't know, have their souls been in stasis this whole time?
	Is it a timeless deep freeze?
	Is it a soul freeze?
	Which sounds like a Slurpee at 7-Eleven or something.
	Yeah, I'll take a large soul freeze, please.
	But whatever it is, he's saying that the dead in Christ, the believers, will rise first.
	Okay.
	I accept that.
	And then verse 17, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them, talking about the dead souls that are rising, with them in the clouds, that is, in the other dimension, right?
	The supernatural universe.
	Superposition dimension of heaven to meet the Lord in the air.
	Now, again, it doesn't mean air.
	It doesn't mean air.
	It means in the hyper dimension where God brings us together.
	And thus, we shall always be with the Lord.
	So what this means is that we are going to be recalled from this earthly realm to rejoin the Lord, our creator, in the hyperdimensional reality known as heaven.
	Now, here's something really interesting to think about.
	What if the human experience is just a way for God, our creator, to experience life in billions of different ways through billions of different eyes and different experiences?
	And what if you, you who think that you are an isolated identity, you think you are your own person and that your soul is this capsule that is separated from all other souls.
	And you think that when you go to heaven, your soul is still separate.
	Like you're going to walk around in heaven like the individual person you are today.
	And you're going to meet other people in heaven, people that died before you.
	And they're still going to be the same people they were here on earth today.
	And that might be kind of boring, by the way, but that's not what this is going to be like.
	What if when the souls in Christ are caught up together to meet in the clouds with the Lord, what if this is a recalling of the souls back to the great union of our Creator, and that's when we become one with the Creator, which is where we start it?
	And that in that process, the individuation, if I can say it that way, of what you have experienced on this earth as being separate from other people, that individuation fades away.
	And in joining with the Lord, we are joining with all the souls that He has.
	We're not allowed to have the adventure of life on earth as a projection, a little tiny sliver of the consciousness of the mind of God.
	Did that offend anybody to say that?
	I hope not.
	I hope not because we're all connected to God.
	As a result, none of us is separate.
	We're not really separate from all the other people.
	We're all children of God, which means we're all expressions of God's consciousness.
	The gift of life and consciousness, I believe, is God taking a little sliver of himself and sending it to us at the moment of conception and then filling our bodies and our minds with the living water of life and consciousness and granting us that gift through is God taking a little sliver of himself and sending it to us
	And then when we finish this life and all the experiences and all the lessons and all the Bitcoin you've collected, whatever, no, I mean, all the moral lessons, all the mistakes, all the achievements, all the good things that you've done, all the things you wish you could redo, all of all the good things that you've done, all the things you wish you could redo, all of that, that all then collapses back into God's consciousness, which is
	You join with God in eternal love at that moment.
	And that is what the rapture may very well be, is a rejoining with the mind of God.
	Have you ever thought about it that way?
	And in verse 18 it says, Therefore comfort one another with these words.
	In other words, we're all going to rejoin with God, all of us who have faith, who are with Christ, right?
	Now, some people will go to hell and that will be eternal damnation.
	That's a different dimensional experience.
	And really, hell is often described as separation from God.
	It's just separation.
	So if you've lived a life of evil and sin and wickedness and all the things that are talked about, you know, especially by Paul...
	Then you're not allowed to rejoin with God, just as in the Old Testament if you were unclean you weren't allowed to enter the tabernacle.
	See, it's the same thing at a multidimensional level.
	If you are unclean at the soul level, you're not allowed to rejoin with God's Spirit, which means you cannot reconnect.
	And so you spend eternity in separation from He who created you.
	And that is the greatest torture of all.
	That is hell, is separation from God.
	So the way I see the rapture, and by the way, I absolutely welcome other interpretations of the rapture.
	I do not claim to have the one and only explanation.
	This is difficult stuff.
	A lot of these are metaphors.
	A lot of these depend on your philosophies, belief systems, or your knowledge of the Bible.
	And many of you listening may have far greater academic knowledge than Or experiential knowledge than do I, but the way that I see this is that the rapture is speaking about rejoining God at the soul level, joining the union of the one loving God, the creator of all that is.
	Now, here's a question that will blow your mind.
	What kind of event here in this realm would result in that?
	Now, if you think about something called simulation theory, and people who believe in simulation theory say that this reality, this three-dimensional reality, is in essence an artificial construct, that it's created as a simulation, and that our consciousness has been thrust into the simulation to play out our lives, but that it's not real, real.
	It's It's an artificial construct.
	Some people believe it's happening inside a giant computer or a giant AI machine, or some people believe that superintelligent extraterrestrials set up this simulation and somehow put us into it.
	But I say that simulation theory, at least the basic pillars of it, are equivalent to what the Bible teaches in the sense that God created the hyperdimensional reality of superpositions and possibilities.
	And then God created this one universe that we inhabit right now, which is a kind of simulation.
	It's a tiny little slice of reality.
	It's not the full reality.
	It's a tiny little slice of reality.
	And then God blesses us with life and souls and consciousness to come in and experience this reality.
	Well, what would it mean to rejoin God, all of us at the same time, during the rapture?
	What would it mean?
	It would mean that God closes the simulation.
	In other words, God, with the snap of his God fingers, he could just say, okay, we're done with that simulation, let's close it out.
	And then, shoo, boom!
	All of the cosmos that we know just like gets sucked into one point and then vanishes.
	And of course, all of our biological lives are over.
	And it's talk about a great reset.
	This is the cosmic great reset.
	And all lives, instantly, the souls either join God or are separated from God.
	So all the souls go to either heaven or hell in that instant, in that moment, and the universe ceases to exist.
	And it's like, game over, man!
	Game over!
	Well, you know, the simulation is done.
	And then your soul joins God, and you and God look back on the simulation, and you go, wow!
	Was that crazy or what?
	And you start reviewing the simulation.
	You're like, that was bonkers.
	We spent our lives looking at screens, you know?
	Or whatever you did.
	Looking at screens.
	It's like half of human experience now.
	All we did was look at screens.
	So, in other words, I believe in the concept of the rapture in a big cosmic way.
	I don't personally believe that it is literal.
	I don't believe that, well, for example, what are they saying?
	Left behind.
	I don't think that in one day that all of the people who believe in Christ will vanish and then everybody else who is not a person of faith will be left behind and they'll wonder, well, where did all the Jesus people go?
	I think that is a Hollywood version of Of what the rapture will be?
	Now again, that's just my opinion, and I don't condemn you if you have a different view.
	I'm totally fine with lots of different views on this.
	I just ask you to at least consider the view I'm offering here as well.
	I think that this is the ending of the simulation, frankly.
	And just like God ended Sodom and Gomorrah, Well, how do they do that?
	Giant flaming space rocks.
	That's probably child's play for God.
	He's like, yeah, let's send some space rocks to this evil city where they're doing crazy fornications and probably child trafficking and grooming and pedophilia and all kinds of craziness and sodomy, whatever, immoral sexual acts.
	He's like, let's hit them with space rocks!
	Right?
	That's nothing for God.
	That's nothing compared to, of course, what He's capable of doing.
	What about on a planetary scale?
	As much of our planet has become so infested with evil, how would God end a planet or reboot a planet?
	Well, I guess there are a number of ways He could hit it with another planet, like Planet X or something.
	Or you could make it explode.
	Or you could just end the whole simulation.
	It's like, game over.
	And then everybody's soul is like, hey, what just happened?
	I was in the middle of binge watching a Netflix episode and then the whole universe ended.
	What's going on?
	So anyway, all jokes aside, let me ask you this.
	If that day came tomorrow, let's just say it happened in the way that I'm describing here.
	Let's say that God just reboots the whole universe that we know, which is just a little tiny slice of what he has already created.
	Remember, he's created an infinite multiverse of, you know, again, infinite says it all.
	An infinite number of other dimensions with other star systems and galaxies and life forms and other conscious beings all over the place.
	He's already created all that.
	If he's not happy with this one, he could just reset it, just like Sodom and Gomorrah.
	And if that happens tomorrow, what would you say about the life you've lived?
	Looking back on what you've done.
	Looking back on what you've accomplished or what was in your heart.
	How much did you do to help people?
	Did you operate with honesty and integrity?
	Did you do what was right, even when people weren't looking?
	Are you happy with your life?
	And if the answer is not happy enough, I mean, I assume most of you listening to this, you're overall probably pretty happy with your life because you've probably done some pretty amazing things.
	And I'm honored to know you because I think we're all in good company.
	We're all among amazing people who have done amazing things.
	But in whatever time we have left, because every day, every moment is a gift from God.
	Every day of consciousness is a gift from God.
	What else can we do to get closer to God in the time we have remaining?
	There's a question for you.
	And I've been thinking about this question a lot lately, which is why, I mean, it's one of the reasons why I've decided to do these sermons today.
	And it's one of the reasons why I'm continuing to build on this concept of a church and a congregation, a gathering of like minds who believe in this.
	We need to take every day as precious for the rest of our days here, whether it's 10 days or 10 years or more.
	We need to spend it wisely.
	We need to carry out acts that are in alignment with our Creator.
	Things that we would be satisfied to share with our Creator when that day comes and it's game over and all of our souls converge back on the one true Creator.
	And then guess what?
	Everything's transparent, right?
	You review your life and God reviews your life.
	The God, the Creator, looks at your life because it's an expression of His consciousness, you see.
	He immediately knows what it was like to live as you, to make the decisions that you made, to have the achievements that you accomplished and the mistakes, the transgressions that you committed.
	He knows what it was like to experience the emotions of joy and Fear or hatred or anger or love or forgiveness.
	All these things, he can experience them best through you because he, as the ultimate creator, he can't go through those things as a human being except, well, by creating Jesus Christ, you know, a projection of God in human form.
	But even then, to experience the full spectrum of everything that a human is capable of experiencing, you would have to live out lives of billions of humans, wouldn't you?
	And that's exactly what God has done.
	And that's who we are.
	So when I say we are children of God, what I actually mean is we are eternally tied to God, the Creator.
	We are part of Him.
	He lives through us.
	Here's something to think about.
	Okay.
	When someone dies, let's say that they're on a scale, you know, how much they weigh.
	Someone's laying on a scale, and it says, oh, they're 150 pounds.
	And they're alive, and they're breathing.
	And then they die.
	How much do they weigh?
	Oh, they still weigh 150 pounds, don't they?
	Because alive or dead, the body is still the same.
	But there's something qualitatively different, obviously.
	The life has left them.
	The life is not material.
	Clearly, the life is spiritual.
	The life is the gift from God.
	And the life can be revoked.
	And when the life ends, it either rejoins God or it spends eternity in separation from God.
	And that's called hell.
	So there is a quality of our existence that cannot be measured by any analytical instruments of our time.
	It can't be weighed.
	It can't be seen.
	It can't be drawn.
	It can't be photographed.
	It is something that gives us life, which is the most precious gift we have of all.
	More precious than any bones or blood or sinew or fiber or skin.
	The most precious thing we have is something that you can't even see.
	And it's something that we need to earn.
	We've been given it as an advance.
	God gave it to us as an advance.
	Like, here, have this gift.
	Now spend a lifetime earning it.
	And what we do with our life determines whether we earn that gift or if we forfeit it and default on the advance.
	You see what I mean?
	So let us spend our lives earning the gift that we've been given.
	And to do that is to behave in alignment with the teachings of Christ and God through Jesus Christ, and the Bible shows us the way.
	And this is one of the reasons why I'm now sharing these sermons, because We live in a world of miracles all around us.
	Our lives, our consciousness, this is a miracle.
	I teach the miracles of molecules from plants and Mother Nature and natural medicine.
	These are gifts from God.
	I mean, where do you think all these plants came from?
	Where did all these nutrients come from?
	Where did the table of elements come from?
	Where did the laws of chemistry come from?
	All came from God.
	This is all from the mind of God.
	It's all a gift.
	Are we earning that gift or are we tossing it away frivolously with unknowing?
	That's the question of our time.
	And I think, frankly, this is a lot of what Paul keeps trying to teach over and over again, except that most of the people Paul is trying to reach are just silly little children not even capable of even understanding this kind of talk, right?
	I think Paul would agree with that.
	Paul is just trying to get people to stop dressing like whores and stop fornicating in the churches and stop trafficking children and all this stuff.
	But if he could get past that...
	And if the people would behave a little better, then I think Paul could spend more time talking to them about how do we join God?
	What is God?
	What is the supernatural creator of our universe?
	And how do we walk in alignment with God?
	And he did teach a lot of that in other letters, other books, and so on.
	So this is where I think the rubber meets the road, so to speak, cosmically or biblically.
	And this is why I say The main themes of the Bible are not that complicated.
	It's really just a couple of themes over and over and over again, stated in different ways with different poems, different prayers and different psalms and hymns.
	It's the same themes.
	And the overall summary of the Bible, although I've said this in a more crude way in another context, I would say the overall summary is stop being wicked.
	This is, let's say, the voice of God.
	Stop being wicked if you want to be one with me.
	That's it.
	Stop being wicked, and then you'll be welcome home.
	And almost everything in the Bible is really about that.
	Stop being wicked.
	There's all kinds of different ways to be wicked.
	They're all named.
	There's all kinds of ways to be good.
	There are numerous reminders of all the ways to be good.
	But it's just the same theme.
	The same theme over and over again.
	And this is why you don't technically have to know every book and verse and chapter of the Bible in order to be a good person.
	You don't have to.
	You can walk in alignment with what God desires for you without knowing chapter and verse.
	Obviously.
	You don't have to be able to cite it in order to walk it.
	Sometimes it helps to have reminders, but for some people, it becomes self-evident what's good versus wicked.
	I think that my walks in nature help me do that organically.
	If you observe nature, It really helps you observe humanity, and it gives you a lot of self-introspection about your own behaviors as well.
	The more I walk in nature, the closer I am to God.
	And I've been walking in nature daily for, what is it, 14 years now, something like that.
	Every walk is a prayer.
	Every single walk in nature is a prayer.
	Sometimes I pray silently, sometimes I pray out loud.
	Usually when I'm walking alone, I pray out loud.
	When I'm walking with someone else, I'll pray silently.
	And when I'm walking with my animals, I'm usually like, no, don't eat that!
	Right?
	So now I'm being Paul.
	When my dogs are trying to eat the donkey poo, then I'm Paul.
	Silly children, stop eating the donkey poo!
	You know?
	Paul the Apostle.
	Talking to the Thessalonians.
	Right?
	Or the Corinthians.
	Think about it.
	Think about it.
	Right?
	It's the same thing.
	Yes.
	All right.
	I hope you enjoyed this today.
	I hope I've given you a lot to think about.
	Take it deep.
	Go ahead and think about it more yourself.
	I'm Mike Adams, and we've got 100 sermons for you to enjoy.
	Go to where you heard this sermon, and you'll find the others.
	And God bless you all.
