Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Tuesday, September 17th, 2024.
Mike Adams here.
Thank you for joining me today.
As always, as always.
Wow.
I mean, history is unfolding in real time.
There's so many things happening here.
So many important stories to cover today.
I'll try to jump in as quickly as I can.
I mean, let's let's start with this one.
The governor of Ohio.
Governor Mike DeWine, he has now revealed, and this has been covered at Breitbart and many other news places, that all the bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio have all been hoaxes, and hoaxes from overseas.
Now, understand that for the last two days, we've heard the left-wing media outright lying and blaming Trump for the bomb threats in Springfield.
And blaming racism and blaming Americans and saying, even we saw Lester Holt.
I think he's at NBC saying essentially that it's Trump's own fault that people are trying to kill him because Trump is inviting that kind of violent rhetoric and causing bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio and things like that.
So wow, Lester Holt and corporate media are such liars.
All these hoaxes came from overseas.
Again, according to Governor Mike DeWine, and most importantly, well, he said, quote, none of these had any validity at all.
And a lot of calls for the corporate media to apologize to Trump and JD Vance.
But check out the number here.
How many bomb threats were called in?
According to Governor DeWine, 33.
33 bomb threats.
He says at least 33 separate bomb threats, each of which has been responded to and each one of whom has been found as a hoax, he says.
So 33 threats, 33 hoaxes, he says.
Why the number 33?
Well, you probably know this.
33 is like 33rd degree Freemasons.
33 is a number that is associated with the deep state and the globalists.
And the sort of a cult branch of globalists when they are trying to communicate with each other.
So when they say, Oh, there are 33 bomb threats, they are saying, or at least DeWine is saying he knows the globalists are behind these threats.
That's why he said 33 and not 32 or 34.
He said 33.
He's sending a message back to them.
I believe what he's doing, sending a message back to them to say, we know what you're up to.
And it's not going to work here.
These were all hoaxes.
Now, by the way, I interviewed a resident of Springfield, Ohio.
I'm going to bring you that interview here today.
And his name, I think it's Mark.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Mark.
And in that interview, you're going to hear the story.
It's not about cats and dogs and who's grilling what it's not about voodoo.
It's not about any of that.
It's not about violence from the Haitians.
It's none of that.
This is a story.
This interview is about the economic displacement of Americans.
The federal government is incentivizing tens of thousands of Haitians to come to relatively small towns in America.
The government gives them food vouchers, gives them rent money, pays their transportation and who knows what else.
And they roll into town.
The local landlords then raise their rent, which kicks the Americans out.
The Americans can't pay the higher rent.
So they become homeless or displaced.
But the migrants get this free government money.
So the landlords hike the rent.
They make more money off of this.
And then the local businesses that need workers, they get workers at lower wages because the Haitians can work for less money because they're getting free food money and free rent money from the government.
So they don't need to cover all their costs.
So they will work for less.
So the local businesses that need workers are really thrilled about that and then they give kickbacks to, you know, maybe the mayor or maybe the state legislature or maybe the federal government, whoever is running this.
You can bet they're getting kickbacks.
And based on the interview that you're about to hear today, this looks like a massive government run human trafficking operation that is actually exploiting Haitians for their labor to enrich corporations while displacing Americans and veterans.
I mean, that that's what this is.
This is a massive human trafficking operation.
And there's a very important question that I ask in this interview today.
Again, you're going to want to stay tuned for this interview.
I'll try to keep this part short to get to it.
I usually fail when I try to do that, but we'll see.
I said, well, what happens?
I mean, right now, all these businesses, they need the cheap Haitian labor.
And the guy I'm interviewing says, yeah, the Haitians actually, they go to work.
They show up and they go to work.
They actually do the work that a lot of Americans refuse to do.
And I said, well, okay, I get that.
But what happens when the corporations have robots to replace the Haitians?
See, right now, look, the Haitians are replacing the Americans.
So the Americans are kicked to the curb.
The Americans are made homeless.
The Americans are forgotten.
The Haitians are the precious ones right now because they're willing to show up and do the work.
The Haitians will then be replaced by the robots.
When that day comes, the Haitians will be kicked out of their jobs, but they'll still be there in towns like Springfield, but then there'll be 20,000 unemployed Haitians.
You see where this is going?
So what does that look like when you bring in tens of thousands of people into a town to be workers and then Two to five years later, they're all displaced by robot workers.
What does that look like?
Well, it looks like economic collapse and probably civil collapse and all kinds of horrible outcomes.
But almost nobody is looking at that.
But if you stay tuned for the interview today, we're going to jump into that topic.
Okay.
Something else that we need to cover here about the attempted shooting of Trump.
This is of course, the second assassination attempt.
And this has been posted by numerous, numerous.
News organizations as well as online accounts, but here's one.
Phone records reveal that the suspect, Ryan Routh, camped on Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach for nearly 12 hours during his alleged assassination attempt on Trump.
His phone was located near that area, and this has been confirmed by law enforcement, from 159 a.m.
to 131 p.m.
On September 15th.
So wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.
Are you saying that this guy had 12 hours pre-knowledge that Trump was going to golf that day?
Because we were told that that was a last minute decision, that it wasn't even on Trump's schedule.
Nobody knew he was going to go golfing except his close inner circle.
Whoever he was talking with, I guess that day.
Maybe some of his closest friends, close associates, close journalists.
I don't know.
Somebody, somebody told Ralph that Trump was going to golf that day.
And Ralph knew at least 12 hours in advance.
It had to be even more than that because of course he had to gather up the backpack and the GoPro and the gun and the ammo and the sandwich or whatever.
If you're going to camp out on a golf course for 12 hours, you're probably going to bring some water.
You know, and he had to make sure the GoPro was charged.
So there are so many questions about this, but the biggest question is who knew in advance that Trump was going to go golfing?
Who knew other than Trump and God?
Right there, that answer, that's going to show you you're traitors.
There are traitors close to Trump.
They are stabbing him in the back still, and he has got to root out those people and get them, get away from those people.
Secondly, Why did Ralph have a GoPro camera?
Clearly, he had planned to film the shooting of Trump.
He had planned to film it.
Or, you know, record it.
Was he going to release it online and think that he was going to be famous like the man who saved democracy by killing actual Hitler?
Because that's what the corporate media always says that, you know, Trump is actual Hitler.
And Hillary Clinton is out with a new disgusting, nauseating video today talking about how the media needs to reinforce that Trump is dangerous.
He's a dangerous, dangerous man.
Yeah, Hillary, that's because you're going to prison when Trump gets in the Oval Office.
You know how many crimes the Clintons have committed since the days of Arkansas?
Hmm.
Yeah, there's no statute of limitations on murder, I think.
And the ghost of Vince Foster is still crying out after being rolled up in the carpet and dumped down a hillside.
But, you know, that happened so long ago, a lot of people don't even know who Vince Foster is.
But God knows.
The corporate media has been depicting Trump as this horrible, evil person, a threat to democracy, when in reality the Democrats are the real threat to democracy because they cheat, they rig elections, they censor people, they're trying to destroy the Bill of Rights.
You know, the Democrats are the actual threat to actual democracy, clearly, by their actions.
They are authoritarian tyrants.
But was this guy, Ralph, was he going to film this to make himself famous?
Or was he filming it because he was hired to do the job?
Now, who, who would have benefited from Trump being killed on his golf course?
Well, the answer is pretty easy.
Ukraine.
Zelensky.
And all the top officials who are on the take in the Zelensky government, who have been pocketing literally billions of dollars in kickbacks and bribes and grift from all the U.S.
money that's been sent to Ukraine.
And Joe Biden today said, we've got to send another $6 billion to Ukraine.
$6 billion?
For what?
Where'd all the other $115 billion go?
What do you need $6 more billion for?
Well, you've got to pay off the right people because they need money to flee, probably.
Anyway, I think it's a possibility, although obviously we don't have proof of this, but it's a strong possibility that somebody in the Ukraine government, and remember that this guy, Ralph, he was part of the Ukraine Foreign Legion, and he's clearly a CIA guy.
I mean, clearly the CIA had contact with him and influenced him, and he was in the Azov battalion promotional video.
We talked about that yesterday.
And he was recruiting foreign fighters to go to Ukraine and fight for Ukraine against Russia.
I mean, this guy was a CIA operative.
And I bet you he was sent on a mission.
He was probably paid by somebody in Ukraine to go to Florida and to kill Trump and get video proof on his GoPro.
And then they promised him something like, you know, we'll pay you a million dollars in Bitcoin or whatever.
Yeah, that's a pretty good guess at what happened.
I mean, again, we don't know for sure.
That's just an analysis, an estimate, but it fits.
Now, there's something else about this that is huge.
Ralph was arrested by Florida law enforcement.
And I don't know if it was Highway Patrol or who exactly arrested him.
But apparently, Governor DeSantis of Florida has so far announced that he's not going to turn over Ralph to the feds.
Now, I don't believe that Ralph has been federally charged yet, but there will be an effort by the feds to try to take custody of Ralph.
And you know why they want to do that, because Ralph is a CIA puppet.
And so they want to either, you know, Jeffrey Epstein, the guy, Or they want to put him in a deep, dark hole somewhere, doped up on psychiatric drugs to where he could never speak intelligibly ever again.
Basically, they don't want this guy to talk.
Well, DeSantis right now is saying, we're going to keep him in Florida.
We're going to interrogate the guy, you know, we're going to question him and we're not going to hand him over to the feds.
Now I'm curious how long that's going to last.
Because this, this is major.
This is almost a.
Nullification of federal power.
If the federal government charges Ralph and then DeSantis refuses to turn him over to the feds, there's going to be a fight.
It's going to be the federal government versus the state of Florida.
Major fight.
Because the feds want this guy.
Like I said, they want to eliminate him or silence him.
Meanwhile, DeSantis, remember, you know, Trump's a resident of Florida.
DeSantis and Trump.
Are you could say political allies, even though they ran against each other and they said, you know, nasty things about each other.
But at the moment they're on the same side and DeSantis would much rather see Trump on the ballot than not because it's going to affect a lot of down ballot races.
So at this point, DeSantis wants to help keep Trump alive and DeSantis absolutely wants to destroy the corrupt fraudulent Democrats.
So what if DeSantis and his law enforcement officials can question Ralph and pull something out of him that points to the deep state, or the CIA, or Feds, or Ukraine, or corrupt military leaders in Ukraine, or whatever the case may be?
That would be historic.
And it seems like DeSantis is moving in that direction right now.
So keep your eyes peeled on that situation.
I want to remind you that this Saturday we begin streaming the very popular Marjorie Wildcraft docuseries called Home Medicine Skills.
This is streaming on Brighteon University, which is brightu.com.
It's just the word bright and the letter U, brightu.com.
You can register and watch it for free.
It begins Saturday, the 21st, and it's very powerful.
Marjorie Wildcraft teaching you how to grow your own natural antibiotics, how to grow herbs for skin salves and to treat infections and to treat, I mean, neuroprotective herbs and cardioprotective plants and foods.
This is really important to learn this information.
It's all free begins this Saturday at bright you.com.
There are, I think 10 episodes.
We play one episode each day.
We put it on a continuous loop for 24 hours.
So Saturday you can watch one episode, Sunday you can watch the next episode, etc.
Or you can optionally purchase the whole course in advance, download all the files and watch them whenever you want on your own computer or mobile phone.
And to purchase the course, if you want, go to brighteonuniversity.com.
That's all spelled out, brighteonuniversity.com.
So you have two options.
You can watch it for free at brightyou.com, or you can buy it.
If you buy it, it helps support us at Brighteon, and of course, it supports Marjorie Wildcraft and her research and her organization.
I also want to remind you that in terms of free resources to really help you find out about healing herbs, that I'm publishing sermons as part of the Church of Natural Abundance.
And as you may know, I'm doing one sermon each day.
I've completed 50 sermons.
I'm working to 100 sermons, so, you know, about 50 left.
And I just finished a sermon on garlic, which is really powerful, very amazing.
You will want to hear that one for sure.
And you can find all those at abundance.church or on my channel on Brighteon.
And I'm also covering the book of Revelation.
So I just finished a sermon on chapters one through three of the book of Revelation.
We're going to start with chapter four in the next sermon.
And then we're also covering, I just did one on frankincense.
And by the way, did you know frankincense, you know where it gets its name?
Because frankincense was one of the most important incense herbs in the Bible.
Mentioned in the Old Testament, it was something that you had to burn in the proper proportions with other resins and herbs, according to God, to be able to enter his embassy, you could say, which is the tabernacle.
It's kind of God's embassy on earth was the tabernacle.
You were not allowed to enter unless you purified yourself by burning the right incense.
And that incense had to contain frankincense.
And so the word frank means free, as if you can speak frankly, you can speak freely.
And then incense shares the same word root as incendiary, which means filled with light.
And so frankincense becomes frankincense.
And that means to be free and filled with light.
Did you know that?
See, these are the kinds of things I reveal in the sermons, and that's why God wanted people to burn frankincense, to be free of mind, free of spirit, and filled with light, the illumination of truth and purity, before you can enter the tabernacle And then God would speak to you.
Very interesting, isn't it?
So there are a lot of things like that in my sermons that you may not have known.
And the sermons are all free to hear.
You'll greatly enjoy them.
So be sure to check those out.
The website for that, again, is abundance.church.
Now, we've got other news from Texas. Now, in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, he did this amazing thing by refusing to turn over Ralph to the feds.
In Texas, our governor, Abbott, who does a lot of great things, by the way, he just signed a designation that the Tren de Aragua group is now designated a, quote, foreign terrorist organization.
And Governor Abbott tweeted out, he said, Texas will aggressively target them to disrupt their criminal activities and deny their foothold in our state.
Texas is the wrong state for them to do business in.
So Tren de Aragua, they should probably go to Colorado.
I mean, they're already there.
They've already taken over buildings in Colorado and nobody's stopping them there.
But they are going to meet resistance in Texas.
Armed resistance, by the way, from the state of Texas itself.
So, you know, Texas is not going to put up with this.
I mean, Texas may put up with it for a very short period of time.
And then it's like, no guys, grab the rifles.
Come on, you know, get law enforcement, get out there.
You know, round up these guys, lock them up, toss them out.
That's it.
Now, I know that the liberals in Texas, they love criminal gangs from South America, you know, because to be a liberal, you have to be someone who hates civilization.
To be a liberal, you have to hate police.
You have to hate civil society or any kind of rules of civilization.
You have to hate God and all these other things.
And that's how you get cities like Austin, Texas, you know, or A bunch of liberals in Dallas-Fort Worth and in Houston, the mayor's always a Democrat.
And that's what's wrong with those cities is they're run by liberals.
But at the state level?
The governor's not going to put up with this, and you can bet that Ken Paxton, the AG of Texas, he's not going to put up with it either.
You can expect, with this designation, this is going to activate personnel, funding, overtime pay, and also an expansion of certain tactics, surveillance tactics, for example.
Various rules of engagement will be expanded because of this designation.
So if there's a foreign terrorist organization operating in the state of Texas, what do you think, what is an appropriate response from Texas law enforcement?
You know, what weapons should they be allowed to use?
What kind of police action against those foreign terrorists should be allowed?
You know, you kind of start to get a picture here.
Essentially, the state of Texas is going to war.
With foreign terrorists on the soil of Texas.
And yes, Texas has every right to do that.
Now, I'm opposed to these ideas of Trump talking about going to send the military to Mexico and then go to war with the drug gangs in Mexico.
That sounds really, really sketchy to me.
I mean, what about the government of Mexico?
That's a whole different ballgame, and that's not what's happening.
We're talking about Governor Abbott protecting the state of Texas within the borders of Texas, protecting the people of Texas from foreign terrorist organizations.
And that sounds completely justified in my book.
I mean, I don't want armed gangs taking over buildings and Demanding rent from the American people there.
You know, there was a, there was a video that just came out about some truckers that stopped at a, like a truck stop, like a highway truck stop, you know, you know, one of those places on the side of the highway.
And apparently one of these Venezuelan gang members demanded that they pay for the right to be able to, to keep their truck there at night and to rest.
So now you have to pay rent at the truck stops to the gangs in America?
I think that happened in Texas, but I'm not 100% sure.
I would have to check that, but that's crazy.
And if you didn't pay, guess what?
Oh, you know, they slash your tires or whatever.
I'm thinking, man, no, I mean, uh, there's some truckers in Texas that Uh, how should I, how should I put this?
Um, they're, they're rolling with some, they're rolling with some firepower is all I'm saying.
And if a gang comes up and says, you know, pay me rent, brah, you got to pay me rent to park your truck here.
I'm thinking that, you know, some truckers might pretend like they're going along with it.
Okay.
Here you want, you want $20, you want $50, here you go.
And then, you know, 30 minutes later.
They're that same trucker is rolling with his, uh, you know, suppressed AR and just taking them out.
Maybe.
I mean, I can see that happening.
I'm, I'm, I'm not suggesting anybody do that, but I'm just saying things are moving in the direction of a war zone on American soil.
They really are.
And when you have foreign terrorist gangs taking over truck stops, taking over buildings, taking over, you know, next it's going to be government buildings, it's going to be police stations and so on.
I mean, at some point, what is a citizen supposed to do?
I mean, yeah, you can, you can call in law enforcement.
In a lot of places they won't do anything, but what if you're by yourself and you're being threatened by a gang?
You know, you have a legal right of self-defense in the state of Texas.
If you believe that your life is being imminently threatened with severe injury or death, you have the legal right to defend yourself.
And I just have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of that happening.
So I support what Governor Abbott just declared.
We would much rather see law enforcement begin to really interdict these criminal organizations.
We don't want this task to fall on citizens.
We don't want gunfights in the middle of truck stops and parking lots and rest areas and things like, you know, because number one, when rounds start flying, you know, innocent people get hit.
So we don't want war zones.
Law enforcement in the state of Texas find these people and boot them out.
And by the way, if we can get Trump into the white house, oh my goodness.
Do you realize the level of, uh, it's going to be like, I don't know.
What, what would you call it?
It's going to be like, well, did you ever see.
Those old contest shows where somebody won a contest and they would get like two minutes in a shopping cart and they would let them run around the grocery store and just take everything they wanted and put it in their cart and then that's what they won.
You know, that was their prize.
Have you ever seen that?
I remember seeing that as a kid, like somebody would win like a radio contest or something and the radio would pay for all the groceries.
And so they'd say, go.
And then some person like frantically running around the grocery store, like right to the meat section, like throwing ribs into the shopping cart, like loading up.
That's what it's going to be like if Trump Unleashes law enforcement's ability to, to round up illegals in places like Texas.
It's going to be a shopping spree.
Basically.
It's going to be like a, like an all you can carry buffet.
I mean, law enforcement knows right where to go to.
They know where these people are.
They just haven't been able to do anything because the federal policies are hands off.
And so even if you arrest them, you turn them over to the feds, the feds just release them back on the streets.
That's policy.
So get ready for that.
Like I said, even if Trump wins, that's just the beginning of the very difficult time that this nation is going to have to go through.
You know, the nation, law enforcement across the nation are going to have to Clean up the mess the Democrats have created by keeping the borders wide open and bringing in 20, 30 million people who don't belong in America, who are criminals by definition as they cross the border illegally.
And many of them are part of the criminal organizations that are terrorizing America in places like Colorado and Texas and so on.
So it's going to take years to clean up this mess.
And we support law enforcement getting that done.
Now, there's a problem with some types of law enforcement, notably the FBI, that do nothing but violate their power.
The FBI is at war with the American people.
The FBI doesn't want to do a damn thing to stop the illegals.
You notice that?
Just like they covered up Hunter Biden's laptop the last time around, and they cover up the crimes of the Biden family and the Clinton family and so on.
But what the FBI are really good at is trying to terrorize the American people.
And there's a very important video that was posted by a man named Jeremy Kaufman.
Or Kaufman, I'm not sure how he pronounces it.
But he says, quote, the FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes.
You can see the shame on their faces.
This is the democratic regime manifest.
Now, I want you to watch this video because this video explains how to handle these so-called FBI people when they come to your home and try to intimidate you.
First of all, What these guys do, they're not even sworn FBI agents, by the way.
They're just contractors that the FBI hires.
And when they come up to your door, they say, I'm with the FBI.
And they carry guns and they have badges, but they don't really show you what the badges say, do they?
They just say, we're with the FBI.
And they hope that you assume that they're FBI agents.
They are not.
They have no FBI authority, they have no arrest authority whatsoever, they have no search warrants, nothing.
They are there to intimidate extra-judicially and to try to scare you into conforming with the censorship demands of the regime.
And this is the kind of behavior of a power-hungry authoritarian regime that hates its own people.
So watch this video and learn from Jeremy Kaufman how this is done.
And there's a little bit of profanity in it.
We'll bleep it out.
Check this out.
Hey, how can I help you?
Hey there, is it Jeremy?
Yeah.
How are you?
How are you?
I'm Agent O'Donnell with the FBI.
Can you give your full name, please?
I'm Agent O'Donnell with the FBI.
Is that sufficient to identify or is there only one O'Donnell affiliated with the FBI?
In New Hampshire, yes.
Could you please state your full name, sir?
Could you please stop recording?
No.
It's First Amendment right.
What's your name, sir?
Could you stop recording, please?
Absolutely not.
You can show me your name and identification or I'm going to go back inside my house.
Oh, this is going out right after you guys walk away.
So you can show me your name or ID, you can walk away.
I'm not going to talk to people who claim to be federal agents unless they can show me identification.
I need to see... Is your full name on that badge?
I'd like to see something with your full name or I'm not going to talk to you.
This will be going online as soon as you walk away.
All I want to do is talk to you about a post that was made.
I want to talk to you about you guys coming here. - Mm-hmm.
Say you make a salary of I don't know what?
Low $100k?
You guys making six figures?
Factor in 50% expenses, overhead, maybe 100% expenses.
Talking about burning a couple hundred dollars an hour just here, let alone all the time you guys are spending to investigate something that you know is not against the law, right?
Like, you're familiar with... So then why would you come?
Because we wanted to make sure that there weren't any... No, you're coming because you're part of a regime that does this kind of thing when you know laws aren't being broken.
And that's an embarrassment, man.
Didn't you guys read the Constitution?
Do you not believe in America?
Like, how do you do your jobs and go home?
You're walking away.
Because nothing we did is against the law, and you guys are f***heads that try to act like bullies.
And I hope you go home and are embarrassed.
You can't even say your name on camera!
Because you know that what you're doing is embarrassing.
You know Americans that believe in the Constitution think you're laughable.
And you go home and you think about what you did today.
Go home and think about it, you cowards.
Drive away.
Drive away.
You're not welcome.
You should be embarrassed.
Embarrassing.
You guys are embarrassing.
So notice that when these so-called FBI guys, when they say, would you please stop recording?
Jeremy says, nope, not going to.
It's a First Amendment right.
Yeah, he's correct.
They can't stop him from recording.
They can't stop you from recording.
You can just keep on recording.
And if they, you know, if they try to make you stop recording, if they assault you, well then, you know, that's, that's assault by a federal agent or whoever these people are, and they will face criminal prosecutions for that act.
But you can tell these guys are just there to intimidate.
But the most important thing for you to do if you're ever interacting with people like this, who are again, not even sworn law enforcement agents, is keep on recording.
Hold them accountable for what they're doing, for their lies, their deception, their intimidation.
Now you notice these guys backed off quickly because it was being recorded.
Now see, if they're not being recorded, they get belligerent.
They start getting really arrogant and threatening, and their job is to run around intimidating people.
Again, these are earmarks of an authoritarian regime that is in a state of collapse and is panicked about not being able to control the speech of people.
And so they run around trying to intimidate everybody.
The other thing that's notable about this is that Jeremy persistently and repeatedly asks for the name and the ID of these individuals.
And you notice that at least one of them refuses to give it.
So any actual sworn officer is required to show you their badge and their badge number and their name on their ID.
That's a requirement and that includes officials with EPA or FDA or ATF or DEA or anybody.
You can always demand their identification, and they can't just flip it out real quick, because sometimes they try to do just flip out a badge.
Oh, I showed it to you, you know?
No, you didn't.
You flipped it.
That was a hand flip.
You didn't show me your badge in a way that a human person can read it.
So don't let them get away with that.
It's number one, keep recording.
Number two, demand their name, their badge, their badge number.
And then number three, do not be intimidated by people who pretend to be FBI agents when they are not.
They're not real FBI agents.
It's kind of like Joe Biden.
He's a pretend president.
He was never elected.
Well, these guys were never sworn.
They're not sworn officers.
Now, the other thing to realize about these tyrants, whether they claim to be FBI, but they're not, or they claim to be regulators, or they claim to be, you know, like I said, ATF, DEA, FDA, EPA, USDA, whatever, they are all bullies.
They are all at war with the American people.
They see the American people as their enemies.
And they all use intimidation tactics.
That's what they're trained to do.
That's what they will inflict upon you.
They are there as terrorists.
They're there to inflict psychological terrorism, fear, intimidation upon the American psyche.
That's what they are doing.
And this guy, Jeremy, just calls them out.
He said, you know, shame on you.
How do you live with yourself?
Your job is to run around intimidating people?
Yeah.
Shame on you.
And this video that I just showed you, as I'm looking at it, it's got almost 15 million views on Twitter alone from one account.
You know, this thing's going to get seen by 50, 100 million people worldwide, and they're going to see what a clown show of pathetic tyrants the FBI has become in America.
The FBI has lost all credibility that it once had.
And remember, I know retired FBI agents who are good men and in their day, the FBI did important work and they operated with a sense of morality.
They had rules, guidelines, ethics.
They would go after the worst criminals they could find.
They weren't driven by pure politics, but those days are long gone.
Long gone.
And today the FBI is the Stasi.
They're the secret police that run around investigating people, intimidating people, and arresting people if they can find some crime, even a small little crime, or even a non-crime like they did with the J6 people.
They fabricated, they upcharged them with all these ridiculous charges that did not apply.
Like this law that was created based on Enron's accounting scandals.
And Enron was cooking their books to try to interfere with the government criminal investigation of Enron's accounting crimes.
And it was so egregious that a new law was created that said, well, if you interfere with a government function, then that's another felony.
Well, the J6 people, who were peaceful protesters for the most part, I know there were a few exceptions of some people who smashed windows or whatever.
Or stole a lectern or, you know, kind of minor things like clown, clownish type of petty crimes, you could say.
A little bit of property damage, like nothing, nothing major, but they got charged with these felonies for quote, interfering with the government function.
A law created for Enron.
And this was misapplied to the J6 protesters.
And that's how they got overcharged with multiple felonies and in some cases sentenced to many, many years in federal prison when they had done nothing wrong.
Nothing.
And you know as well as I that if it had been Trump in the White House and if it had been left-wing protesters doing the exact same thing, the left-wing media would be celebrating it, applauding it, and saying, it's peaceful, it's peaceful.
So, of course, it's obvious That the FBI, the DOJ, federal agencies, they have all been politicized and weaponized against the American people.
And any of you listening in those agencies, don't blame me for this.
This is the way the American people now see you.
If you want to change America's perception of what you're doing, you need to change your behavior.
Stop being so politicized.
Stop running around trying to intimidate people and silence people and throwing people in jail just because of their political beliefs.
You want to get America to trust you again?
Then start acting with integrity as an unbiased, non-politicized agency or law enforcement group.
That's the only way.
You have to earn back the public trust in your institution.
You have to earn it back.
You can't demand it.
And you can't force it.
You can't coerce it.
You have to earn it.
And right now, there's nobody in any federal agency that I can see that is earning any trust from the American people.
They aren't earning it.
They're burning it.
They're burning the trust because they're doing nothing but weaponizing their institutions against the people.
And more and more people are coming to realize that by the millions.
And this is going to actually help get Trump elected.
This abuse of power.
Trump and RFK Jr.
need to get in there and just start firing people.
And I mean, 80% of the federal government needs to be fired in the first week.
Yeah, 80%.
Gone.
Oh, and what do you know?
The budget is magically balanced here, too.
That's amazing.
You fire 80% of the federal government, you will lose nothing in productivity because those people don't get anything done anyway.
You will actually set free businesses in America.
To build things, to make things, to create things, even creating jobs.
If you fire 80% of the federal government, you will see a golden age of economic prosperity unleashed across America because it's the government that's interfering with productivity and progress in this country.
The government is too bloated, way too many people on its payroll.
They're all agents that are weaponized against the people and they're going to run out of money.
Anyway, on their own, they're going to blow out the dollar and at that point, there's going to be no actual money remaining for the government anyway.
The whole thing's going to collapse like the Soviet Union in 1991.
You're going to have a total collapse of the federal government when the currency collapses and all those people are going to be out of work and their pensions will be zeroed out anyway.
And then what are they going to do?
Cry victims?
Yeah, of course.
No, you're the ones victimizing America.
These federal workers, they are creating their own personal hell, working for a system that is destroying the currency, destroying liberty and freedom, and overthrowing America with this invasion.
And these people that work for federal agencies, don't they realize that their country is being destroyed by the work that they're doing?
You know, it's like, don't you live in America too?
Don't you want a safe neighborhood?
Don't you want currency that has value?
Don't you want economic prosperity for the country?
Don't you want actual freedom?
Don't you want the Bill of Rights, you know?
So why are you working for a system that is destroying all those things?
And this is what more and more people are realizing, like Jeremy Kaufman there in that video.
People are waking up every single day and people have had enough.
Now Jeremy posted, he says, people sometimes ask me how I have the confidence to do this.
And the answer is that I practiced.
Practice asserting your rights in minor situations and it will continue to get easier.
For example, do it at DUI checkpoints or at border control when reentering the US.
He says, I'd like to thank Carla.
Goricki, for firmly establishing the right to always film in New Hampshire.
Carla, along with hundreds of others, of other early Free State New Hampshire movers, formed a culture of First Amendment activism.
Culture is how you win.
See?
Now, another person posting comments to this post says, Law Enforcement 101 for Civilians.
He says, this info was beaten into me by the fathers of my two best friends growing up.
One of them was LAPD for 21 years.
The other was a 20 year U.S.
Customs agent.
Number one, a badge isn't ID.
So they show you a badge, it's not an ID.
Unless you're in the act of being detained, you have every right to demand they show you their ID, which should have their picture, their name, their agency information and expiration date.
Officers of any agency, local, state, or federal, that refuse to show you their ID, they are refusing because they don't have legal standing to do what they're doing at the moment.
And your presence is optional.
See, they just hope you will stand there and talk with them.
You do not need to agree to do that.
Never answer questions to law enforcement officers unless you're the one who initiated the call to law enforcement, i.e.
if you're the one who filed the complaint.
Even then, the moment they start asking questions that might incriminate you, you're under no obligation to answer and should not answer.
Any law enforcement officer is never there to prove your innocence, only to establish your guilt.
Never be afraid to voice your knowledge and your rights, but always do it politely.
Be firm and repeat it over and over again.
And then finally, if they seem nervous about you recording them, or if they're asking you to stop, it's because they're doing something they shouldn't be doing.
That is 100% correct.
By the way, Hillary Clinton has also just gone on MSNBC and she said that Americans who speak Or post any form of quote, misinformation, which would be anything criticizing NATO or criticizing the U S government or criticizing the vaccine industry or any of that, you should be arrested and jailed.
She says, and then she says, Trump's a dictator.
It's like, uh, have you looked in the mirror, you clown?
I mean, what, what a shameless authoritarian clown show this woman has become.
I mean, to just sit there and say that.
They demand the arrest of people who speak out against their regime.
I mean, they, you can see they absolutely want to obliterate the first amendment, the second amendment, the fourth amendment, the fifth amendment, the 10th, the 14th.
I mean, these tyrants, their ship is sinking.
They're becoming desperate.
They know that people waking up, it can't be stopped.
The red pill is spreading like crazy.
Their censorship regime has not worked.
There are many, many platforms where people can speak freely, including our own Brighteon.social, Brighteon.com for videos, Brighteon.io for decentralized speech.
They're losing the war.
They're losing the currency wars.
They're losing the war with Russia.
They're losing the war in the Middle East.
They're losing the war on technology.
I mean, did you see?
Let me read this for you.
I forgot.
Here it is.
Egypt is going to replace F-16s with Chinese fighter jets.
Egypt is going to China to get fighter jets.
You know why?
Because American F-16s suck.
They're outdated.
They were designed in the 1970s.
They're decades outdated.
They can't even begin to keep up.
With the technological achievement of China's fighter jets.
And did you know that China, in fact, I think we have an article covering this on natural news.
China now leads a global technology.
Here it is.
China regarded as new global tech leader, since it controls 90% of all critical technologies.
Yeah.
The U S is not leading in critical technology.
China is leading.
These include advanced aircraft engines, drones, collaborative robots, satellite positioning, navigation systems, radar systems, quantum engineering, nuclear medicine, quantum sensors, high-performance computing, gravitational sensors, space launch, advanced integrated circuit design, and fabrication.
empire has become a corrupt, collapsing, apathetic clown show.
I mean, there's not even a functioning democracy in America because the elections are rigged.
You don't have a functioning press because they're just handed memos by the CIA and they just read the memos, read their teleprompters.
They're not even functioning as a free press anymore.
You don't have a functioning ecosystem of medical journals or science journals.
They're all bought off by Big Pharma or Bayer for GMOs and pesticides.
You don't have a functioning court system.
It's totally corrupt and you can't expect any real justice in the courts in America.
You don't have, you know, functioning civility, rule of law in many areas, especially the blue states or the blue cities, because they're defunding police, letting criminals back out on the streets.
I mean, folks, the United States of America is collapsing into third world status.
Rapidly.
And when the dollar collapses, it's going to be overnight.
It's going to happen overnight, but Egypt sees what's coming.
That's why they are buying fighter jets from China.
Let's see what else we have here.
Pakistan has now discovered the fourth largest oil and gas reserves in the world.
That's Pakistan.
So now Pakistan is going to be an energy leader.
Remember that Pakistan has nuclear weapons also, and they may be willing to give them to countries like Turkey.
Yeah.
And don't forget what I covered yesterday.
The, the Yemeni military has hypersonic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles.
They just hit Tel Aviv with a hypersonic missile and Tel Aviv couldn't even stop it.
So, I mean, folks look, that missile flew at up to Mach 10.
I mean, maybe it was only Mach 9 or 8.5 or something, but it's close to 10.
Do you realize that the United States military does not have hypersonic missiles?
At all.
Not a hypersonic missile that flies at Mach 6.
Because the program failed.
Because, you know, just so much corruption and fraud.
And in America's military, what do they do?
They, you know, they elevate the most woke moron into the highest position.
Oh!
Would you like to be an engineer, an aerospace engineer to design hypersonic missiles?
And, you know, the woke person says, well, sir, I don't know anything about aerospace engineering, but I do have all the right other qualifications.
I'm wearing rainbow flags and pretending to be a woman.
And they're like, you're hired.
Yeah.
Why don't you engineer the missile?
You don't need math.
You've got virtue signaling, you know?
And then it turns out that the U.S.
hypersonic missiles don't work.
I wonder why?
Because they're LibTard missiles.
That's why LibTard missiles don't work.
They're not hypersonic.
I mean, they're stupid sonic.
They don't even fly at all.
So when you have Yemen outpacing the United States military, I mean, Yemen's military budget is almost zero compared to America's military budget, which is the largest in the world.
It's approaching a trillion dollars a year.
For a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that, Yemen is building, they say, and launching their own hypersonic missiles.
Now, granted, they were probably handed a ton of technology from Iran.
I mean, that's the most likely case, but they're producing it domestically now.
So are you telling me that Yemen can produce hypersonic missiles and the U.S.
can't?
Yes, that's the case.
That's how pathetic the situation has become.
Think about that.
Let that sink in, folks.
All right.
Now we are going to jump into the interview here.

So with that said, then we're going to jump into the interview.
From a man who lives in Springfield, Ohio, to talk about the economic displacement and the massive human trafficking operation run by the government itself that ends up booting Americans onto the streets.
Yeah, pretty, pretty sickening that this is happening in America.
But check out this interview and then I'll have a sermon for you on the other side of that.
And today's sermon is about frankincense.
So enjoy it.
All right, welcome, everybody.
This is Mike Adams here, Brighteon.com.
And today we have a guest, a man named Mark, who lives in Springfield, Ohio.
And of course, we've all heard a lot of different reports of things happening in Springfield and an influx of migrants, or some people call them the newcomers.
And there have been People going to Springfield who don't live there and trying to find interviews or find examples or shoot video that might be interesting to others.
But our guest today lives there and has been part of the community for many years and maybe has a fresh perspective on things.
So welcome, Mark, to the interview today.
Thanks.
Thanks for the invite.
Thanks for having me.
Absolutely.
And I appreciate you taking the time to join us here.
And can I just cover a couple of basic things, like how long have you lived in Springfield?
And what do you do there?
So I have lived here my entire life, which would be 46 years, given just a few years living in Columbus, which is just right down the road.
But, you know, pretty much I've lived here my whole life.
And I'm in transportation.
Okay.
For those 46 years that you mentioned, how would you describe Springfield as a place to live?
I mean, not counting whatever we're going to talk about today, the recent stuff, but before that, what was Springfield like?
So, Springfield's always been a unique community.
I mean, we have a long, rich history here.
A lot of industrial history.
A lot of things were made here.
So, I think people who are from Springfield, they take a lot of pride in the city.
Now, when I was a young kid in the 80s, Springfield was a lot better.
A lot more jobs here.
A lot more thriving community.
Um, and then it just kind of fell victim to, you know, the same thing that a lot of industrialized towns, you know, once the job started shipping to China, um, and the industrial world started to change, uh, Springfield changed right along with it, you know, so we, we lost a lot of jobs here.
Um, and then, and then, you know, you had drugs that ushered into the community probably in the late eighties and early nineties, and that really changed.
A lot of neighborhoods and landscape.
But for the most part, I mean, we're a small city, midwestern city, and people here have a certain set of values.
Springfield's always been a pretty decent town.
You say it's a midwestern?
Did you say midwestern?
Midwestern city, yeah.
Really?
Do people in Springfield consider Springfield, Ohio to be midwestern?
Yeah.
Yes, we do.
Oh, okay.
That's interesting.
I'm from the central part of the Midwest, like the Kansas City area.
But as someone from that area, I had never thought about Ohio as being Midwest, but maybe that's just my lack of perception.
Yeah.
If you go outside of the city of Springfield, it's surrounded by cornfields.
So there's not much, you know, in between us and Columbus is, is corn.
Okay.
All right.
Well, fair enough.
I'm, I'm used to seeing that, uh, cornfields and cows and what have you.
Uh, so what about the, what's the demographic makeup of the city of Springfield as, as, as you have known your life?
I mean, was it mostly white town?
No, I would say growing up, man, we were, we're really made a racial, um, a good mix, you know, between white and black.
And, you know, you would have some Hispanics that mostly like, you know, back in the day that the Hispanics that came here were truly migrant workers.
Cause we have some nurseries around, you know, and they would come and they would work those places, uh, during the summertime months.
And then, um, I don't know, they would move on and work somewhere else when it would get cold here.
But, um, yeah, growing up it was just mostly, you know, white people and, and black people, um, and a pretty good mix.
And how, how are racial relations then during that time?
I mean, did, did white, black and Hispanic folks tend to get along in the town?
Yeah.
Um, You know, it's, it's just like anything else, you're going to have issues.
Um, and if you know any, if you would learn anything about Springfield's history, you would know that we've had a white black population since, um, you know, the, the late 1800s.
In the early 1900s, we're talking 1904 and 1906, there were two major race riots here in Springfield where dozens of people, yeah, dozens of people were killed.
We're talking 115 years ago.
So there were racial tensions 115 years ago in Springfield, but I feel like.
You know, you fast forward to me growing up here in this town.
It's been.
I felt like, you know, pretty normalized.
I mean, we didn't really start seeing racial tension in my in my eyes until.
Obama became president and you started seeing kind of, you know, all that jazz being spewed out and Seems like things, racial tensions started to change a little bit here.
Yeah, well, Obama definitely invoked a lot of racial tension with Trayvon Martin and, you know, kind of whipping up a lot of, a lot of issues.
And yeah, we felt that all over the country, that's for sure.
Um, so of course, Springfield's in the news right now because of the, the Haitian migrants, uh, reportedly something like 20,000, maybe it's only 15, maybe it's 25.
I don't know, have been brought to the town on purpose and put there.
Uh, when did you start to become aware of that?
So probably.
Three, maybe four years ago, you would see, um, you would see a couple of Haitians here and there, but you didn't really pay much attention to it because if you rewind the clock back three or four years ago, we may have had, we may have had a couple hundred Haitians here.
Um, and my understanding, um, they come here like a busload a week or have been for a long time.
And so you fast forward to 2024.
You know, now we're sitting at 15, like you said, 15 to 20,000, um, Haitian immigrants here in the town.
So it's, yeah, it just exploded.
I mean, are there people in the town who are wondering why, like why, like who's bringing them here and why are they bringing them here?
Have there been like town hall meetings?
Yeah.
So we, Yeah, we do.
We have a city commission meeting.
So people, um, and, um, you know, you can watch them.
They're online.
Uh, and so people are questioning that, you know, why Springfield?
And I, and I will say this just to get it out there, you know, it's, uh, I am not racist at all, or I don't have any problem against Haitians.
You know, I, I understand their, you know, where they come from.
It's, There's a lot of issues there.
I would probably think that if I was a Haitian and I seen that there was all this opportunity just kind of being given, I would probably jump on board with it as well.
But guess where myself and probably a lot of people in Springfield have the issue.
Like I said, it's not with that really with the Haitians, but it's just.
You know, it's with the government bringing 20,000 people here and just Plopping them down and there was no real plan to handle 20,000 people.
Um, so, you know, like all of our resources are just wiped out.
Uh, we have a local rocking horse centers, a local healthcare center, and it's predominantly for, you know, uh, people who are poor and, um, those resources at that place is just decimated.
And, uh, then you think about the strain on our, Police Department you think about the strain on our hospital, our main hospital.
It's just and I can go on and on, you know, homeless shelters have been wiped out and shut down soup kitchens closed because they don't.
No, these are really good details.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
Okay.
There's a slight delay, I think.
But are the local people there aware of how much money is being given to these Haitians by the government?
You know, they're getting, at least the reporting that I'm seeing, is that they're being given debit cards and they're being given a lot of money to cover their living expenses there.
Whereas, of course, the local, the people of Springfield that you grew up with, they have to earn it.
But these Haitians are just being given it.
Is that something that people are aware of?
I mean, there's a lot of talk about that.
I will say this.
I think that from my viewpoint of it, I think that what I've seen is that most of the Haitians here in Springfield, they work, they go to work, they get up in the morning.
I come to work at 4.30, 5 o'clock in the morning, and I see them waiting in line to get in these vans to go to work or I see them dropping off their kids at a certain place almost every morning.
So I see them working.
As far as what they're given, how much money they're given, I couldn't tell you.
I have no clue.
I mean, we know they show up at the Job and Family Services building and they're being given something.
You know, we've heard they're giving vouchers for housing, we've heard they're giving food cards, and I would say the food cards probably, that's absolutely happening.
Money every month, maybe, but I don't, like I said, I don't know.
Well, this is, it's a very interesting economic question, and I'm glad you brought up that they're working, because I want to ask you sort of where they're working, but you know, if you're an American trying to make ends meet, and you have a job, And the job pays, let's just say $15 an hour, which is not a lot these days, right?
It's hard to make ends meet when you have to pay your own food and your own house, your own rent, everything.
But if you're a Haitian immigrant, you could go work for $10 an hour and still make ends meet because you're getting all this other extra money through the vouchers and the stamps and whatever.
You know, coming in from government that the local people don't get.
So doesn't that doesn't that in effect, economically displace the Americans of Springfield, Ohio?
Because now they can't.
It also causes resentment, you know, because you see like everything you just laid out.
I mean, if you you have one person who's working hard for everything that they have.
And they get no handout.
And then you got the guy next to him who's, they may have a job, but they're also getting, they're getting all this free stuff on top of it.
Yeah.
That causes resentment.
Right.
Well, okay.
What kind of jobs are the Haitians that you see working?
Any idea where they're working or what kind of jobs they're doing?
Yeah.
So, and that's a, that's a whole nother topic because, um, You gotta, if you look, if you're here on the ground and you see what's going on, like, you understand that the Haitians are being taken advantage of by the people, some of the people here locally.
We'll start with landlords, you know, the landlord.
So, yeah, there's there's temporary services here in town.
Temporary employment services that employ, I would say probably 95% of the Haitians in town.
And, you know, you will see them bust them off.
And they work at a lot of, you know, warehouses and factories that are here locally.
And, you know, they, we've had a large like explosion of jobs here in the last three to five years.
You have Intel who's building major facilities in Columbus area.
And then all the little distributors that's going to service Intel, you got, you know, Google that's building facilities.
And what, you know, what they've said is there, there's not enough Americans to fill up all those jobs.
So apparently they've brought in immigrants to take those jobs.
And so, you know, you look at the large spectrum of them bringing them here, raising the rents.
So they're, they're gouging them for rent and then taking them back and forth to, to work.
They're charging them a certain amount of money each day to take them back and forth to work.
And then on top of that, the temporary employment agency will, you know, these jobs might pay 25 bucks an hour, but they're only going to pay the Haitians 16 or $17 an hour.
So there's a lot of money being made.
I see.
Wow.
Wow.
I mean, it sounds like you're describing a human trafficking operation.
It's all these people.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's wild.
It's it's almost like modern day.
Yeah.
Yeah, like a modern day exploitation of the labor of these people who Like you say, okay, so they're incentivized, you know, come to Springfield.
We'll give you this money.
We'll give you vouchers.
We'll pay for your groceries.
We'll give you money for housing.
Then the landlords spike up the housing or the rent.
That displaces the local people.
The work agencies make money.
The corporations get workers that perhaps they don't have to pay as much as they would pay American workers.
I'm just guessing.
And then those corporations pay taxes to the county or the city.
And then the city leaders get to brag about how many jobs they've created, but none of those jobs are for the people and for the Americans.
I mean, wow, that sounds like quite an operation.
Wow.
Yep.
Well, aren't you afraid that your job is going to be replaced by one of the Haitians?
I mean, it could be, but I'm not worried about that.
I mean, it's honestly, I'm not.
I think that a lot of the jobs that they have, the Haitians plugged into doing, and we'll be honest, are jobs that Americans around here just weren't doing to begin with, or they would have been filled by the Americans here.
So like labor intensive type of jobs?
Yeah.
And you know, that's just all where our social culture is.
You know, I think pretty much anywhere you go, you know, you've heard Americans are fat and lazy.
I mean, it's in a lot of sense, that's true, right?
I mean, they don't want to do the hard, the hard jobs.
I mean, it's incredibly hard even to see to get young people to go out and get jobs.
In the summertime.
So, um, no, I, I, I concur with what you're saying.
I've seen that in Texas too.
Uh, because you know, I, I have, I have a retailer with a warehouse and yeah, pretty much it's so difficult to find people that want to move boxes or sometimes we've hired people and they'll come in, they last two days and they're like, Oh, I've never worked that hard in my life.
I can't do it.
I'm like, are you kidding me?
Yeah.
When I was young, I used to load boxes for UPS at three in the morning.
I was chucking boxes into the back of UPS trailers.
That's hard work, man.
And it's 110 degrees in those trailers, but I could do it.
When I was in college, I don't know why today's kids can't work.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
So, you know, I think that there's, there's a, uh, there's a hole there to fill.
Right.
So it's, that's another reason.
Yeah, interesting.
So your emphasis so far on this is kind of the economic implications.
So I take it that you're not seeing You know, kind of the more, the more popular sort of clickbaity type of coverage is talking about, you know, oh, they're eating cats and, uh, they're, they're, they're horrible.
They're, they're wrecking their cars and things like that.
But your experience.
No, go ahead.
They do have driving, uh, issues and that's another thing.
Um, you know, they, they, uh, they come here and magically get a driver's license and it's, um, you know, it's evident.
In the amount of crashes that we have, there's a local YouTuber here in town that goes and follows all these crashes around.
Sometimes there's three, four, five of them a day.
Really?
Yeah, that just involves a Haitian driver.
The driving's crazy, but as far as the eating cats or dogs, I think that's all.
I don't know if that's happening at all.
I can't speak to it.
I would say that that's probably not true.
Okay, so you haven't seen any of that?
Yeah, I haven't seen any of that, no.
But you have seen the car, the crazy driving?
Crazy driving.
For the most part, the Haitians that I see here in town, they stick to themselves.
I don't know if it's just because of lack of integration.
They don't know English or whatever, but they don't really bother anybody.
From what I see, there's just a lot of them here, and they don't know how to drive very well.
So, a question on that then, doesn't that raise the car insurance rates of everybody when there are more accidents in that zip code?
Are you seeing car insurance rates go up?
Well, I have not with mine yet, but I pay mine up a year at a time.
We'll see when my policies do.
Could be, maybe, maybe not.
But I have heard from other people, yeah, that their car insurance rates have went through the roof.
Wow.
Okay.
Yeah, see, that becomes a shared cost among everybody in the region, even if they themselves are good drivers.
Um, so this, what about crime are, are you seeing or not seeing like, do, do Haitian people form some, are there some gangs or like Haitian gangs that are, you know, robbing commercial properties or anything like that?
Or is that not happening at all?
You know, it, it probably goes on.
I don't know of it.
Um, I would say that Springfield was infested by crime.
Before the Haitians arrived here, you know, we had a crime problem.
I mean, I think at one point we were labeled one of the most dangerous cities in Ohio.
And this was before, yeah, and this was before Haitians arrived in Springfield.
So Springfield's always had, you know, in modern times, an issue with crime.
And when I look around, I don't, I still don't see the Haitians doing the crimes.
I still see it's, you know, So is the crime that exists there, is it drug-related crime, typically?
Like meth heads and things like that?
Well, Springfield had a crack cocaine problem.
I don't think that really exists anymore, but then they had a heroin problem and fentanyl is the issue, I think, now.
So I'm not sure about meth, but I mean, you know, you can drive down The main street here in Springfield on Main Street and the homeless people have an encampment set up and any hour of the day you can drive by there and they shoot up in the middle of the daytime.
So it's like something you see in Kensington, Pennsylvania or something.
So the, all right.
So quite an existing crime problem before the Haitians got there and sounds like an existing addiction problem.
uh But all of those problems require, of course, a lot of local resources, and you've already said that those resources are really getting stretched thin.
So you can imagine like emergency counseling, or first responder, or medical, right?
So that doesn't bode well for the people that are maybe veterans that need help.
That seems to me.
Yeah, so I see more homeless people here now than I ever have my entire time living in Springfield my whole life.
Like, there's homeless people everywhere.
And I think that, you know, there's a couple reasons for that, right?
I mean, there's people who just choose to, they choose to go that path because they're addicted.
But then there's, you know, the homeless shelters here have closed.
Because their resources have been drained.
And you've got people who are getting evicted from their homes, and they can't afford to go rent any place here in town because all the rents have went up.
So, yeah, we've got a lot of homeless people here.
Myself, people at church, I mean, people are concerned with what's going to happen to some of these people when it gets cold here and about.
You know, two months.
Yeah, no kidding.
Also, I would be concerned about the long-term trajectory of this, because how do we know that, let's say there's 20,000 Haitian migrants that have been put there now, how do we know that number is not going to be 200,000 in another year?
You know what I mean?
Yeah, no, we don't know.
We don't know if they've slowed the influx of Wow.
What about self-defense, like firearms?
if they've sped it up.
It seems the way that they work, they double down on everything.
So now that there's a tension brought to it, I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if they just didn't double down on it.
Wow.
What about self-defense, like firearms?
I don't know the laws of Ohio, but is it a state where people can carry concealed easily? - Yeah.
You can open carry, you can conceal carry here in Ohio.
Okay, so do you hear among local people there a stronger tendency now for people to carry concealed or to be more concerned about the potential of crime and, you know, to take more steps for self-defense?
I'm sure that people do.
Obviously, if somebody's carrying concealed, I wouldn't know.
That would defeat the purpose, right?
But, yeah, I mean, I do see a lot more people open carry now that we have open carry laws that grant you permission to do so.
That's interesting.
interesting.
Do you feel like this, the trajectory that the town is on, I mean, does this have a happy ending or a disastrous ending?
Well, there's a couple ways you can look at it.
If the migrants continue to pour into the town and they don't integrate and they don't assimilate properly with our culture and how we do things here, then yeah, it's going to turn out bad.
And who knows what that is, right?
I mean, it's just, we're a town of 60,000 people.
There's already 20,000 people on top of that.
Don't speak the language for the most part.
Don't have the same culture.
So if we if we get another 10 or 15,000, I think that.
I mean, I just I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen, but you know, if you look at history.
And if you look at Springfield's population increase over time.
And how it was tracked, you know, we had a large influx of people back in the late 1800s, so.
For a couple decades, the National Road, which is U.S.
40, it started in New York City, and it dead-ended here in Springfield.
So we had, you know, migrants that would come through Ellis Island, they would work hard, they would save up money, and then they would hit that road, and they would go as far west as it would take them here, Springfield.
And so that's why the industrialists picked up on, hey, there's a lot of immigrants in Springfield, so they came here, they built their factories, And then before you know it, we had a 20,000 to 30,000 influx of mostly Irish immigrants back then that came to Springfield.
And they weren't received really well then.
People felt that they were stealing the jobs and that they were flooding the town and all the bad things that have been said about the Irish immigrants back in the day.
And that all happened here.
I guess the key difference between those immigrants and the immigrants today is when those immigrants arrived in Springfield, they didn't get welfare checks, they didn't get food cards, they didn't get housing vouchers, and they had to work hard for everything.
So, the immigrant today is not the same as the immigrant in the past.
While there's some reflections of today in the past, they're definitely different.
Well, you know, I'm, I'm married to an immigrant, by the way, a legal immigrant, you know, and, uh, uh, I've, I've found that legal immigrants are some, they make some of the best Americans because often they've escaped situations of tyranny that the average American can't even really understand.
And so they really appreciate America when they come here.
But, but you know, it costs us thousands of dollars and we went through all kinds of Vetting and background checks and even medical x-rays and, you know, the whole thing.
But then for these Haitian migrants, it doesn't sound like there's much vetting at all.
I don't even know.
I mean, do you have any idea?
Do they just like raise their hand and hop on a plane?
I don't know how it happens, man.
We just know that they show up at the Love's truck stop out here, and they get off a bus, and there are big church-type vans that show up, and they load up in it, and they take them into Springfield, and off they go.
So I don't know what the selection process is.
Wow.
Yeah, that's a huge question.
Well, have you spoken to any of these Haitian migrants yourself?
You know, just out of curiosity, I've been in the store or something, and I've tried to spark up a conversation, and I always get the same, you know, no-speak English is what I hear.
So I'm unable to, because obviously I don't speak French Creole.
But yeah, not much conversation at all.
Not yet.
Yeah, right?
Okay.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
Might, might be worth learning at this point.
But at what point would you consider leaving Springfield?
even though you've lived there your whole life, what would it take for you to leave? - Man, that's hard because you don't want to abandon your place that you grew up at.
But I mean, at some point, you know, my kids are all my son will be 18 Friday.
So.
When he's 18, all my kids are adults.
So we've raised our kids.
And I guess there's not a whole lot that keeps us anchored.
So if we see things continue to erode, I don't know if I would move far from here.
But yeah, I would definitely consider if things continue to erode.
You know, maybe putting our house up for sale and leaving.
Right.
What I mean, and your house might actually be worth a lot more because a lot more demand and there's a lot of government money coming in for housing.
So you might actually do pretty well on that.
Okay.
Well, are there any other observations?
Yep.
I was just gonna say, you know, but that's I feel like that's just waving a white flag man.
It's and it's not fixing the problem.
So Honestly, I mean it you know a fish rots from the head right and so the federal government is the head and All these policies that they make that allow this to happen And it trickles down to the state level and then the state gives them the benefits.
So I It's hard to blame the people who lead the city here in Springfield because, in a lot of ways, their hands are cuffed.
This community was under Democratic leadership for decades, and we now have a Republican mayor who I feel like he does a decent job, but what he stepped into, I mean, it's pretty much unimaginable.
What he's got to deal with.
So I think that, you know, we should people who live here.
We just can't give up.
You know, we have to we have to fight to try to make it better and come up with solutions.
Well, okay.
I'm glad to hear that.
It's going to be challenging for the following factor.
Let me mention this.
So it seems to me like a lot of those businesses, those corporations, factories, warehouses, what have you, they need the labor.
Americans often don't want those jobs.
We already talked about that.
And that is true.
So they bring in Haitian labor.
But you fast forward two to three years, it's going to be robot labor.
I mean, we're right on the verge of a humanoid robot warehouse takeover or basic robotic labor.
Elon Musk's company is producing robots.
China is going to be mass producing a million humanoid robots a year.
The reason I ask you this is because those same business people that are hiring Haitians, they would just as soon replace them with robots if the robots are available.
And then you're going to have 20,000 unemployed Haitians.
In your town.
Yeah.
What's that going to look like?
I don't know what that would look like.
That's, that's a crazy scenario.
But it's right around the corner too, right?
I mean, that's exactly where this is going.
Well, we can talk about a scenario that we've already been through, which is, uh, you know, COVID.
And when COVID happened, all the layoffs took place and they called them furloughs.
That's a nice way of saying layoff.
But, you know, you had, you know, thousands of people I know here in the Springfield area that were, that lost their jobs or were laid off during the COVID era.
So what, you know, what if we ever went through a scenario like that again?
You know, which is just as plausible as the scenario that you just mentioned with the robots.
Yeah, that's true.
Another pandemic, another lockdown.
And then the fact that most of these Haitians don't speak English.
That's pretty concerning because how is the town leadership supposed to communicate?
Are you going to have like, you know, Creole translators everywhere?
And, you know, you can see that that Seems like if they're going to bring people to America, they should at least pass some basic English skills.
But that's just, on my part, wishful thinking, I suppose.
I mean, when I go live somewhere else, I learn the language, right?
I mean, I lived in South America, I speak Spanish, I lived in Taiwan, learned to speak Chinese.
I don't expect everybody to speak my language, you know?
Yeah.
Well, what are your other thoughts?
You know, I just, I don't know, I just want people to get the truth of what's going on.
You know, what's happening here is 20,000 influx of people, no plan to deal with that.
And all the other stuff that's being talked about, I think it's just a, it's like, it's like a smoke screen in front of the real problem.
You know what I mean?
So let's just throw all that stuff to the side and and really just focus on the core issue of you know How many immigrants is enough and that's not that's not being racist.
That's just being logical So, you know, do we do we set an amount?
You know, do we turn a no vacancy sign on in Springfield?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm just saying there at some point there has to be a There has to be a limit, I feel like.
Because like you said, you can't... Is $20,000 not enough?
So is $50,000?
Or is $80,000?
Is $100,000?
You know, we're not built... Our infrastructure is not built for that.
I mean, we're already drained.
So I think, you know, focusing on the real issues and just not... And now we have a lot of stuff going on in town where There's bomb threats everywhere.
You know, like today, my kid's school is closed because of threats.
And I don't know who's causing that, but it's definitely just, it's not allowing us to focus on the real issue.
Yeah, we know who's calling in those bomb threats.
They're called the FBI, by the way.
They're whipping this up themselves.
Blame everybody who doesn't want to welcome unlimited migration.
But you know, I think you've made a lot of really important points here today.
And I share with you the idea, I'm not going to judge any individual based on their ethnicity or their skin color or their language.
I welcome immigrants into America if they're quality people, you know.
But like you, I'm very concerned about how The American people, the citizens who live there their whole lives, paid property taxes, built the community, are being kicked to the curb, you know?
Being displaced and forgotten and replaced.
That's the issue.
I share that with you.
Yeah, I'm not focused on the cats and the voodoo or any of that stuff.
Maybe it's all just rumors, but what's real is the economic displacement.
That's real.
Absolutely.
Is there anything else you want to say before we wrap this up?
No, I appreciate a true conversation on it, and yeah, that's probably it, man.
I just, you know, I say if anybody out there is, you know, they believe in God, say a prayer for our city.
We shall.
We shall indeed.
And thank you for taking the time to join me today.
And don't disconnect quite yet.
Let me just wrap this up and put an end cap on this.
So for the audience here, thank you for listening today.
I hope you realize this is an authentic, unscripted conversation, real conversation with a person, Mark, who lives there, who has lived there his whole life.
And we're trying to bring you real information about this situation.
And yeah, There's got to be a re-evaluation of these policies.
You can't just drop unlimited numbers of non-English-speaking migrants to move into a town, take over all the infrastructure, take over the housing, take over the jobs, and then just tell the American people, you know, screw you, you're forgotten, because that's what this looks like.
So this has got to be stopped, and there's got to be some sensical way to resolve this issue.
At least that's my opinion.
I think Mark mostly agrees with that as well.
Look, we're compassionate people.
We care about humanity.
We're people of faith.
And we also have the right for self-determination in our own communities and for our own country.
So thank you all for listening today.
I'm Mike Adams here at Brighteon.com.
God bless you.
God bless America.
Take care.
Here at HealthRangerStore.com, we've got all kinds of solutions to help you get ready for the chaos, the craziness that is coming.
Let me just show you what I've put on my desk here.
We've got number 10 cans galore, all kinds of foods.
Also the IOSAT potassium iodide there in front.
But we've got all these foods.
Certified organic laboratory tested fruits and vegetables.
You can see even heavy cream there, goji berries.
We've got a powdered milk.
We've got a blueberry vanilla pancake mix.
We've got iodine vials and so much more all available right now.
You can find it at healthrangerstore.com slash get ready.
So just enter that in your browser healthrangerstore.com slash Get ready, all together, all one word, and you'll see what we have available and the prices that we have now.
Some of them are the best prices you're ever going to see because food inflation is getting worse, the supply chain is getting worse, you know the situation.
But I want to bring your attention to two dates that are coming up.
First, we have October 7th coming up.
That's the, of course, the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, which then led to this escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas involving Gaza, the whole deal.
Everybody's unhappy, everybody's wanting to kill everybody else, it seems, and some of those people from the Middle East have come into the United States, and because the U.S.
provided weapons to Israel and continues to do so, There are some people that are determined to carry out acts of terrorism in the United States, and they intend to attack and sabotage key infrastructure.
We may see power outages.
We may see bombs.
I mean, I hope not.
I pray we don't.
I pray for peace.
There are people that want to destroy America, and some of them are already here.
And they're going to target bridges, they're going to target maybe, you know, grocery stores or whatever or sporting events.
I don't know.
But they want to cause chaos in America.
So be very cautious on October 7th, folks.
Be very cautious.
That's a day to be on the lookout.
And then also have backup plans.
Make sure you can cover yourself if the power grid doesn't work for a while, for a few days, or if the water supply doesn't work, or if the grocery stores are shut down, or if there's some other kind of critical security emergency in your area.
Maybe transportation is shut down.
Maybe you can't get gasoline.
Maybe you don't have electricity in your home.
Maybe all the food spoils in your refrigerator.
Just have backup supplies ready.
This is part of what we provide for you.
Healthrangerstore.com slash get ready is where you can find all of these items.
And we've got hundreds of items, heavily scrutinized, laboratory tested, almost everything certified organic, available right now shipping out of our warehouse in Central Texas.
Now, October 7th is just one of the days.
Then we've got the election day.
So November 5th and 6th and 7th.
So, you know, just a month later, we've got another wide open potential for chaos scenario.
I don't know how that election is going to go.
I don't know who's going to win or who's going to cheat.
Well, we know.
We know the Democrats are going to cheat.
We do know that.
But we don't know if they're going to cheat enough to pull out a win or if that's going to be contested.
What we do know for sure Is that if Trump's team wins, the radical left-wing Marxists, they're going to erupt in mass violence and protest and start burning down buildings and attacking who knows what.
And we also know that if the radical left wins, there are also going to be a lot of unhappy people about that.
And you know what?
The left-wing lunatics, they may set off their own violence against America anyway, thinking now no one can stop them.
So they might say that that's the right time for them to activate all their invaders and all the illegal migrants and the violent people who have come into this country with the intent to carry out acts of terrorism domestically.
And it's not just me saying this.
You know, even The U.S.
military is warning about this, and National Guard organizations, even the FBI, has similar warnings right now.
Everybody knows that this is a season of high risk for terrorism attacks domestically, for sabotage against America internally, by different groups who have different motivations.
You know, some of them might be from the Middle East, and they hate America for America's support of Israel.
Others, they might be Antifa or radical left-wing groups, and they hate America because, well, they're Marxists and they're communists.
Or some people hate Trump.
Some groups just, they just hate the American flag.
They hate freedom.
I don't know.
There are all kinds of psychos and mentally ill individuals out there and violent terrorists, and we need to be prepared with some basic common sense readiness items.
That's food.
Be prepared for a nuclear event.
You know, Iowa sat right here.
This is potassium iodide.
This is FDA approved for emergency use in a radiation fallout event.
We've got that.
And we've also got other forms of iodine available at the store right now.
We've got the things that can help you get through what's coming.
That's all.
Help you get through what's coming.
The whole world's not going to come to an end, folks.
We can get through this together.
We just have to be ready, have some common sense, be wise.
You know, keep a level head.
Whatever happens, it's good to know.
You know, hey, we can handle that.
Grocery stores are shut down?
No problem.
We've got our own backup food.
Oh, electricity is down for a few days or a few weeks?
Guess what?
We've got backup water supplies.
We've got water filters.
Or we have a way to survive.
That's all.
That's what I'm saying is just be ready with all kinds of different strategies for survival.
Right, Rhodey?
Yeah, come on up.
What do you have to say about survival?
Yeah, come on up.
Yeah, you're a good boy.
We got Rhodey here.
He's also all in for survival.
As long as it involves lots of ring toys, then he's gonna be okay.
You good?
Yeah?
Okay, that's what I thought.
Yeah.
He's all into survival, especially self-survival.
But folks, be ready for disruptions.
This is also the season of false flag operations.
So we're facing many threats from many different parties, most of whom really want to destroy America.
And we have to make sure that we don't let them do that.
We need to stand strong and defend this country, defend our communities, defend our rule of law.
And we can't do that if we're, you know, in line at a food bank or starving to death or suffering an infection.
We don't have medicine or natural medicine.
You know, we need to be able to defend ourselves.
And from that place of strength, then we can help defend our communities and defend our constitutional republic at the same time.
So food, healthy food, healthy supplements, superfoods, natural medicine, natural remedies, all of these have a very important role to play in making sure that you are strong and healthy and capable of helping to defend your nation against whatever threats come, whatever happens.
We're going to be tested.
This is an existential threat time for our constitutional republic.
And we're going to be very fortunate to get through this unscathed.
So plan on crazy things happening and also help support us because we're putting out a message of truth.
We're doing amazing interviews.
We're publishing stories on naturalnews.com.
Brighteon.com is interviewing industry leaders in health freedom, personal liberty, and so much more.
We're putting out docu-series events at brightu.com.
We're putting out a free AI language model that's focused on nutrition and herbs.
That's at brighteon.ai.
And so on and so forth.
We have brighteon.io, a decentralized social media platform that cannot be censored.
And we have brighteon.social also, which has been up for a few years and is a really great place for breaking news.
It's kind of like Twitter but without the censorship.
Yes, Twitter or X still censors.
But all of these projects of course cost money.
We reinvest that money into those projects thanks to your support.
So to the extent that you want to help yourself get prepared and also help support us, that helps us build and fund these projects that bring you these free speech platforms, these technology tools that work offline like our AI models, they will work offline and empower you with all of this knowledge and technology to help you stay free or to defend your freedom.
So we thank you for your support.
You can support us right now.

Take care.
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams with abundance.church.
Please feel free to visit that website and join the email list to be alerted about other sermons and songs and reference materials and things like that that we're going to be publishing.
The topic for today is frankincense, which, astonishingly, we have not covered frankincense yet, even though it's, of course, mentioned as one of the gifts presented to Mary, the mother of Jesus, by the three wise men, gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Sounds pretty interesting.
We've covered myrrh, and we know all about myrrh right now.
What an interesting resin.
And we've covered a little bit about aloes as well.
But frankincense is mentioned very prominently throughout the Old Testament, and a few times in the New Testament, and then also once in the Book of Revelation.
So let's take a closer look at what is frankincense.
Obviously, it's used as an offering.
It's used as a kind of incense, but it has other uses as well that you may not be familiar with.
In Matthew 2, verse 11, and when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down and worshiped him.
This was talking about the three wise men.
And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to him, gold, frankincense, Now, as is also often the case, when we get to parts of the Bible where God is talking about what will be taken away from humanity, when humanity turns from his teachings, or turns from his blessings, frankincense is mentioned in the book of Revelation chapter 18, which we will cover chapter 18 separately.
But for this sermon, we're just covering the frankincense factor, and we'll get into some of the science behind what's in frankincense and what are the uses.
But I do want to mention that with the fall of Babylon in Revelation chapter 18, this is very important, I believe, because, you know, some people believe that Babylon is talking about modern-day America.
I don't have a strong opinion on that, but I do believe that the Bible speaks to different time periods simultaneously.
So it's possible that Babylon in the book of Revelation referred to literal Babylon and also could refer to possibly America today, or in particular, a city such as New York City.
Just be open to that possibility.
But let me read for you Revelation chapter 18, verse 9.
And remember, these are the words that John heard from God, and then he wrote this down.
And we don't know for sure who that John is, but probably John the Apostle.
Anyway, verse 9, the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her.
We'll weep and lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning.
Oh, you know what?
Let me back up.
Let me give you a little bit more before we get to this.
Let's back up to the beginning of chapter 18 because this context is important.
So chapter 18, this is about the fall of Babylon and all the things that are taken away from mankind.
Because mankind turned against God.
So, after these things, I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
And he cried, mightily, with a loud voice, saying, Babylon the Great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird.
That sounds exactly like Washington, D.C.
today, doesn't it?
Or even certain elements of, you know, New York City, the abortion hub of America, things like that.
Verse three, for all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Oh, isn't that true?
The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.
And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works.
In the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.
In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow.
For she says in her heart, I sit as queen and am no widow and will not see sorrow.
Therefore her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning and famine.
And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
I guess I should mention that when they say her, this is referring to the woman described in the earlier chapter, chapter 17, that rode the beast, or at least interpreted in chapter 17, rode the beast with the seven heads and the ten horns.
So, remember that the ten horns may depict ten kingdoms or ten nations, and the seven heads may depict either seven national leaders or seven different servants of Satan.
In fact, this is interpreted—let me just read you the interpretation from chapter 17, verse, let's see, verse 9.
Here is the mind which has wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
There are also seven kings.
Five have fallen.
One is, and the other has not yet come.
And when he comes, he must continue a short time.
The beast that was and is not is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
The ten horns which you saw are ten kings.
Who have received no kingdom yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.
So this, this is a complex riddle to try to understand.
These are of one mind and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
So these are 10 kings or 10 kingdoms that are giving their authority to the beast or the, the satanic system, the globalist system.
Verse 14, these will make war with the lamb.
That is war on the church, war on Christ.
So that's the woman.
And in verse 18 of chapter 17 says, And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.
So if you were to translate this into the modern day, what would be the one city that reigns over the kingdoms of at least Western civilization?
Some might argue it's the city of London.
Some might say Washington, D.C.
Some might say the Vatican.
I mean, I guess there are different takes on it, or maybe all three in different ways.
Maybe those three are three of the horns or three of the heads.
Maybe we'll get more clues about this.
But anyway, in chapter 18, It talks about how horrible this woman is, or at least the symbol of this woman.
So if this is talking about a city, if it's Washington, D.C., then the Bible is telling us that Washington, D.C., then the Bible is telling us that Washington, D.C., will be burned with fire, and it will all come in one day.
The plagues will come in one day.
Or maybe it's New York City, or like I said, maybe it's London.
Verse 9, the king of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her, that is, all the nations that were in league with this satanic
you know, multinational leader, will weep and lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, alas, alas, that great city of Babylon, that mighty city, for in one hour your judgment has come.
This is a really important statement here.
In one hour your judgment will come.
I'm going to cover this in more detail in the sermon where I go through chapter 18 of Revelation, but as a teaser I would like you to think about what kinds of things can destroy a city in one hour, like a giant tidal wave or, you know, a nuclear detonation like a giant tidal wave or, you know, a nuclear detonation or something like But, you know, I'm going to cover this Verse 11, and the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her.
For no one buys their merchandise anymore.
So global economic collapse, the banking system collapses.
Verse 12.
Merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble.
And then verse 13, this is where we get to frankincense.
He says, and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
Whoa!
It's more than just your cinnamon and frankincense that will be taken away from you.
It's the bodies and souls of men.
Souls will be taken.
So this is more than just a kinetic war or the kinetic destruction or the burning of a city.
This is the soul-sucking of a city.
And the bodies, too.
Plus the frankincense on top of that.
The cattle and the sheep, the horses and the chariots.
But I keep wondering, where are the goats?
You didn't mention any goats.
The goats are still here.
Oh, okay.
The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you.
And all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.
Now see, I think this is speaking to a global economic collapse, a sudden economic collapse event that strikes Western civilization.
Verse 15, the merchants of these things, you know, all the gold and the silks and everything, who became rich by her will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping, and wailing.
Now, what does it mean for a city to be weeping and wailing?
Well, you would hear sounds and winds if a city were struck by a nuclear weapon, wouldn't you?
Or if a giant meteor fell out of the sky and struck a city, giant, you know, crater, giant mushroom cloud, kaboom.
You might describe that as torment, weeping, and wailing.
That's what I think.
Anyway, verse 16, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, for in one hour such great riches came to nothing.
Every ship master, all who traveled by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance.
In other words, they didn't want to get too close to this city because it's being destroyed.
And cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like this great city?
They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she is made desolate.
Wow!
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her.
And the next verse is also kind of a well-known verse, 21.
Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down and shall not be found anymore.
So we'll get into this more when we cover that chapter of the book of Revelation, but today we're trying to focus on Frankincense.
I keep getting distracted by that, but Frankincense was clearly Depicted as something of great value in the Bible, a gift and something to be taken away from cities that turn against God.
Now, if we go to my favorite reference book, The Herbs of the Bible by Dr. James Duke, it lists possible benefits of frankincense as dysentery, fever, gonorrhea, polyps, and there are a lot of folklore uses that we'll get and there are a lot of folklore uses that we'll get
He says, The wise men brought the newborn Jesus three gifts, gold to recognize his kingship, frankincense to acknowledge his holiness or divinity, and myrrh to symbolize the hardship and suffering that he would endure.
Frankincense is an important ingredient of incense.
Literally, frank means free, and incense means lighting.
So the Arabic word for frankincense, luban, or luban, means milk of the Arabs.
Interesting.
So frankincense, frankincense.
Frank is free.
Incense is light, like incendiary, kind of the same word root.
So frankincense, the free, free light, freedom of light.
The aromatic gum obtained by means of incisions in the stem was used for incense, perfume, holy ointments, and as a fumigant.
It was imported by caravan from Arabia and East Africa.
The plant did not grow in Israel.
Frankincense was highly esteemed by the Egyptians for embalming and fumigating.
See?
So, these three things, aloes, myrrh, and frankincense, You know, they're all resins.
They're all resins.
And they all are used in embalming in ancient Egypt, and then they all became used in various forms of perfumery, fumigation, or incense offerings to God in the Middle East.
And as you know from previous sermons, sometimes people would fumigate their clothing with this, which I would imagine would be a really good bug repellent.
And then they would burn this incense in the temples.
And then sometimes people would put things like cinnamon, ground up cinnamon in their bed, and sometimes possibly with frankincense or myrrh.
So cinnamon and myrrh mentioned in Song of Solomon that we did the song about.
So here's how frankincense is made.
Incisions are cut into the bark of the frankincense shrub.
The milky juice that exudes hardens into tears within a few weeks.
These tears are collected.
They are favored in Lebanon primarily as incense and secondarily as a medicine or cosmetic.
Frankincense is used today as incense in Roman Catholic churches.
And the essential oil of frankincense, or what's called oil of Olebanum is used in high-grade perfumes, especially for oriental and floral types.
And there are several modern perfumes that contain frankincense.
By the way, as you know, I am not fond of any kind of artificial fragrances.
In fact, I abhor synthetic fragrances.
But for those who have perfumes based on essential oils, real oils or real herbs, I welcome that, and those are much better to use, much healthier to use.
Some of them are, in fact, medicinal.
In Tanzania, the resin from frankincense is boiled in sesame oil, and it's taken for schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease.
That's interesting.
Got parasites?
Frankincense does the trick.
Recent authorities maintain that the incense used in the tabernacle was a mixture of frankincense, galbanum, what is this, onychia, and stacty.
I'm not even familiar with those.
The use of any incense not composed of these four ingredients nor in the proper proportions was strictly forbidden.
Hmm, that's interesting.
Hopefully we'll learn about those other two ingredients or three ingredients soon.
East Africans use frankincense resin to treat syphilis and Asian Indians use the resin for rheumatism and disorders of the nervous system.
A dose of 35 grains of frankincense is said to improve the memory That's interesting.
Inhaling vapors from frankincense is said to alleviate bronchitis and laryngitis.
The bark resin is used as a tonic and a diuretic in East Africa.
The Chinese use frankincense for urogenital ailments and it's used in Asia for leprosy and rheumatism.
It's also been suggested as a mosquito repellent.
Not surprised to hear that.
Do you have any frankincense?
I have some.
And if you burn it, you're like, whoa, yeah, that could, that could keep the mosquitoes away.
Let me see if I can find it in this other book, Plants of the Bible.
The problem with this book is that it's organized by the type of plant.
It's got like fruit trees and then forest shrubs, thorns and thistles, you know, you have to try to like, what is this thing?
Oh, here it is.
Frankincense.
It's under drugs and spices, incense and perfume.
Oh, and here we find the quote from Exodus that refers to the other spices.
It says, Take sweet spices, stacti and oneka and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense, and make an incense blended as by the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
Interesting.
Frankincense was an important ingredient of incense and also a perfume.
The resins from the two species, and probably of others of the 24 species of the genus Boswellia, occurring in Arabia and East Africa These are exudations like those of balm and myrrh, commonly traded throughout the ancient world.
By the way, boswellia herb is known as a source of boswellic acid, which is really good for inflammation.
I don't know if that's related to this.
Maybe we'll find out.
Commonly traded throughout the ancient world with other costly commodities, frankincense was imported into the land of Israel by the Phoenicians via the famous spice route across southern Arabia.
And some of the stations of East Africa, the Caravan Highway.
Today, frankincense is frequently used as incense in the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church.
It's also widely used in medicine.
The Hebrew name for frankincense is levona, or levonach, maybe.
The identification of baswiliya with levonach is well-founded, and linguistic support is furnished by the Arabic name luban.
Interesting.
So the exudation from the shrubs produces drops that are shiny, yellowish, or reddish, highly aromatic, and bitter.
So there you go.
Now, in the world of natural medicine, I have heard of people using frankincense to, or essential oil of frankincense, as a cancer treatment.
I don't know how much literature there is on that.
It's just something that I've seen.
So I thought I would look that up for you.
And sure enough, in the National Library of Medicine, if you go to, there's a journal called Oncotarget or Oncology Target.
Here's a study published in 2019.
Frankincense essential oil suppresses melanoma cancer through downregulation of the BCL2-Bax cascade signaling and ameliorates hepatotoxicity, that's liver toxicity, via phase one and two drug metabolizing enzymes.
So there we go.
Natural products that induce cytotoxicity with minimum side effects are of interest.
Cytotoxicity is cell death of the cancer cells.
And so they looked at frankincense essential oil in both in vitro and in vivo models, and they found that frankincense induces a significant dose-dependent reduction in the cell viability of both mouse and human melanoma cells.
But not in normal human epithelial melanocytes.
So, it shows that frankincense essential oil significantly reduced the tumor burden in the mice melanoma model.
Whoa, but here's something else.
Whoa, I didn't even know this.
So from the study, it says they were trying to test if frankincense essential oil can protect the liver from liver damage caused by acetaminophen, you know, common over-the-counter painkiller.
So here they write, acetaminophen was used to induce liver injury in Swiss albino mice.
They were pretreated with frankincense essential oil for seven days.
And let's see, they kept track of all these parameters, blood parameters, liver parameters.
I'm paraphrasing.
Further liver histology showed that frankincense essential oil treatments reversed the damage caused by acetaminophen.
Central vein dilation damage, hemorrhage damage, and nuclei condensation damage.
Wow!
In conclusion, frankincense essential oil elicited marked anti-melanoma in both in vitro and in vivo with a significant heptoprotection.
So it is known then, frankincense is known to induce tumor remission, apoptosis or cell death of cancer cells.
And it's known to protect the liver.
Now, see, that's interesting.
I did not know that.
What I have known as a powerful natural molecule for liver protection is called glycyrrhizin, and it's found in licorice root.
And licorice root is such an outstanding source of glycyrrhizin, which protects the liver, that I have for years told people, if you drink alcohol before you drink, take some licorice root, you know, the herb.
Which also tastes kind of sweet, by the way.
I'm not talking about licorice candy, I'm talking about the actual licorice root, which is also used very heavily in traditional Chinese medicine, by the way.
It's one of the ingredients that makes Chinese medicine powders taste palatable, the cinnamon and the licorice root.
By the way, so acetaminophen causes liver damage.
And there are tens of thousands of people just in America each year who suffer liver damage, some of them permanent liver damage, because of over-the-counter painkillers such as acetaminophen.
And it turns out that if you take acetaminophen while also drinking alcohol, which a lot of people do on, let's say, a New Year's Eve party, you know, they drank too much, they partied too hard, and so they take some painkillers, just over-the-counter painkillers.
Permanent liver damage.
Alcohol plus acetaminophen can destroy your liver, but frankincense essential oil can protect your liver, as can licorice root.
So you see, I've talked a lot about the molecular armor of God.
This is a very clear example of it, where God provides an herb, frankincense.
It's mentioned, you know, a hundred times probably in the Bible.
And it's part of even the Roman Catholic Church today, and it's part of what the wise men gave Jesus, or the Mother Mary at the birth of Jesus.
This natural medicine itself is a molecular armor of God for your liver, the essential oil of frankincense.
So it can protect your liver from alcohol, Which many people rooted in sin may over-imbibe and can also protect against shadow medicine or over-the-counter painkillers.
So that's incredible news.
I mean, it just shows yet again that the molecular armor of God, that concept, it is woven into the tapestry of Scripture in the Old Testament and the New Testament, even in the book of Revelation.
Why is frankincense valuable?
Liver protection.
Not, you know, not just an offering to God in terms of incense and, well, you can only enter the tabernacle if you're burning the right incense, but liver protection.
Can you think of a reason why liver protection might be important?
How about biological weapons being unleashed to achieve global depopulation with spike proteins and all kinds of, you know, horrible injections and mRNA?
A gene-altering shadow medicine, demonic medicine that fills people's blood with alien proteins that are not human, that do not belong in the human body.
Would you want your liver to be protected?
Well, the studies show, and by the way, we can find a lot more studies on this.
I just pulled up the first one that I saw on PubMed.
But there are no doubt thousands of studies about frankincense.
And they will show you this is literally the molecular armor of God for liver protection.
And perhaps neurological protection as well.
They're also known to be anti-inflammatory properties and anti-tumor properties and things like that.
Now, by the way, when you hear me say these things, don't interpret that as I'm not telling you to take a specific dose.
I'm not telling you to self-diagnose.
None of those things.
What I encourage you to do is to, if you have a health complaint, find a naturopath.
Find a naturopathic physician who knows natural medicine.
They don't even have to be licensed by the state, in my opinion.
I don't like the fact that the state licenses doctors because then the state controls what they're allowed to say.
I would much rather go to somebody who has a broad spectrum of knowledge about herbs and natural medicine and maybe also about faith would be a bonus.
And also if they understand anatomy and basic physiology and biochemistry and so on, that would be a great person to go to.
And there are a lot of really gifted naturopaths and herbalists and natural medicine practitioners.
For me personally, I don't need them to have a license.
In fact, a license is actually kind of a red flag for me.
I would much rather go to somebody who has knowledge.
And so if you have a health complaint, go to them.
And, you know, Western medicine can be useful for things like imaging or diagnostics or blood tests or what have you.
You know, the MRI is a non-invasive procedure for imaging.
So Western medicine has a place, but Western medicine is horrible at preventing or treating chronic degenerative conditions such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, blood pressure disorders, osteoporosis, hormonal disorders, things like that.
So I say go to a naturopath and let them know what you eat, what supplements you take, what personal care products you might use, what kind of superfoods you might take in, you know, things like that, and let that naturopathic physician Then give you a diagnosis and give you recommendations on doses of things.
So, you know, understand, I am not here to give you—I'm not practicing medicine here.
I'm giving you knowledge about the molecules that God put on this earth.
But it takes someone working with you face-to-face to be able to tell you correctly how much to take of which things.
And that's something that has to be personalized to you, so keep that in mind.
Now, frankincense...
It's readily available as an essential oil, so it might not be a bad idea to have some on your shelf, like a medicine chest, have some frankincense oil, have some myrrh, have some of these other superfoods and nutrients that I talk about here.
Now, you can build up quite a natural medicine chest, but I also believe the best thing is to grow as much of this as you can.
If you can grow figs, you're growing medicine.
If you can grow apricots, you're growing medicine.
If you can grow wormwood herb, you can get the artemisinin out of it, a malaria cure.
So grow as much as you can and the things that you can't grow, then you can acquire and often, you know, stockpile or store for your emergency medicine chest.
Or maybe you can get seeds and, you know, to grow later on, maybe when you have more time.
Frankincense is a very powerful natural medicine, and it's strongly associated with spiritual purity, spiritual cleanliness.
And remember how God said, this is Old Testament God, this is Leviticus and Numbers and Deuteronomy.
You can't enter the tabernacle unless you are clean.
You have to have clean blood.
In order to be of clean spirit.
Remember the quote in Leviticus, I think it's chapter 17.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I've given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls.
For it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
And remember how I've covered this, and I've mentioned there are a couple of ways to interpret it, but one way is to say that the purity of your blood also speaks to the atonement of your soul.
And you cannot have a clean, pure soul if your blood is unclean.
So clean up your diet, clean up your intake, what you drink, what you put on your skin, what you smoke or not.
Hopefully you're not smoking cigarettes.
That's not going to create clean blood, that's for sure.
So if you are, work to get off of that.
We've talked about drinking red wine as something that is very beneficial for human health because of the power of grapes and resveratrol.
So I'm not saying you have to be completely alcohol-free in your life.
Red wine helps with purifying the blood in moderation.
I don't happen to drink alcohol myself, but I have many other sources to get resveratrol anyway.
So those are some things to keep in mind.
It's amazing.
In every sermon here, you're going to get more wisdom and information about the healing properties of God's molecules, God's foods, superfoods, herbs, you name it.
And then I'm intermixing this in with covering the book of Revelation.
And we'll have more chapters of that coming up, and eventually we'll get back to chapter 18 again.
Wow!
The city of Babylon falls in one hour?
One hour?
It's going to be interesting to talk about that coming up.
But thank you for listening today.
