BBN, Oct 1, 2024 – Israel invades Lebanon, Longshoremen STRIKE...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Tuesday.
October 1st.
Yeah, we're already into October.
I can't believe it.
2024.
This is Mike Adams.
We have a lot to cover here today, and I'm joined today by Dean Ryan with Real Deal Media, who's riding shotgun with me today because I was just on his show, and we were covering a lot of the breaking news events.
Welcome, Dean, to the show today.
Mike, it's good to be back.
It's good to be back.
So much going on, and I'm glad when world calamity is happening that we can come together.
That's when we bond the most.
Yeah, that's true, and things are looking super crazy out there.
there.
We need to cover the catastrophic flooding situation, Israel's invasion of Lebanon, and also the striking longshoremen, the port strike, which is going to be happening today.
As you know, this recording is released on Tuesday at Like, we're recording it a few hours earlier, but as people are hearing it, the strike is going to begin.
So, Dean, let me... Can you watch this video?
We'll insert it into the recording here.
Yeah.
Let me send you the link.
Right there.
Can you watch that video?
It's like a minute 39.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Go ahead and watch that right now, and I'll play it here.
All right.
Awesome.
These people today don't know what a strike is.
When my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas, every single port will lock down.
You know what's gonna happen?
I'll tell you.
First week, be all over the news every night, boom, boom.
Second week, guys who sell cars can't sell cars because the cars ain't coming in off the ships.
They get laid off.
Third week, Walls are closing down.
They can't get the goods from China.
They can't sell clothes.
They can't do this.
Everything in the United States comes on a ship.
They go out of business.
Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in.
The steel's not coming in.
The lumber's not coming in.
They lose their job.
Everybody's hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important our jobs are.
Now I have the president screaming at me, I'm putting a Taft-Hartley on you.
Go ahead.
Taft-Hartley means I have to go back to work for 90 days.
That's a cooling off period.
Do you think when I go back for 90 days, those men are going to go to work on that pier?
It's going to cost the company's money to pay their salaries.
Well, it went from 30 moves an hour, maybe to eight.
They're gonna be like this.
Who's gonna win here in the long run?
You're better off sitting down, and let's get a contract, and let's move on with this world.
And in today's world, I'll cripple you.
I will cripple you, and you have no idea what that means.
Nobody does.
All right, so what do you think, Dean, when he says, I'll cripple you?
He's talking about the nation, that if they don't get the contract they want, the strike begins, and the nation is going to be absolutely crippled, potentially for months.
What's your take on it, Dean?
Well, this is really interesting, Mike, because just days ago, before this became news, I was actually at not too far from Long Beach on the sand, and I saw ships already begin to pile up.
You know, we haven't seen this in 2020 since the end of that year.
And if you recall, I put it out there that ships are beginning to pile up before news got it.
And we found out because I put the word in that weapons of war were coming from China through the shipping crates.
Now, this is interesting.
Fast forward.
Here we go.
At a time when the assembly line is now getting like the food edemics, it's now beginning to pile up.
On one hand, you know, they want to replace the service sector with AI robots.
They want to do the same at the ports.
But there's something weird here going on because California Governor Newsom signed legislation that will allow the city to streamline the design and construction of a 400-acre terminal to construct and ship wind turbines in through the docks.
So there's something more at play, but This is a there's also strikes now happening on the east port.
So the biggest two ports in the country are L.A.
Ports of Call and Long Beach.
And this is another another scratch at the American Democracy as they call it.
This strike is predominantly affecting southern ports, southeast ports, all the way from Texas, all the way through Florida, and then up and down the entire eastern seaboard, right?
So this strike is going to cripple more than half the ports in America.
And as a result of this, if you think about the supply chain is already crippled in the post-COVID years, it's already difficult to get spare parts to repair your car, difficult to get parts for appliances, difficult to get parts for computers and telecom.
So this is going to be absolutely crippling.
And then, Dean, did you hear that the Verizon cell service went down I think all day yesterday for many users, and their phones just went into SOS mode, and then it came out today, at least people were posting about this on X, that it looked like a deliberate takedown, some kind of selective cyber switch to turn off Verizon phones.
Did you hear about that?
So this sets the stage for them to say that the internet security is at stake.
They're going to say it's Russians.
This goes on the Mass Casualty Clause, the new 28th Amendment they were talking about.
So this is playing right up to it.
Then you had Ray of the FBI saying Iran's the biggest threat.
So they're playing right into their narrative.
And who benefits from it is the Israeli war that is raging.
On top of 700 soldiers from Tennessee, the National Guard being deployed out, so they're not even there to help their own people right now.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's extraordinary.
And also, you know, of course, the U.S.
military is going to be helping evacuate Israeli-Americans from Israel, but they will not help, reportedly, Lebanese-Americans evacuate from Lebanon.
Now that this war is underway, Americans are being sacrificed by the U.S.
government there.
And, of course, Americans aren't being helped in North Carolina.
Or in all these flood zones that have been hit.
Tennessee hit hard, right?
So we're seeing our government just absolutely abandon the American people.
But they send unlimited money to Israel and Ukraine and weapons to these other countries as well.
It's like, hey, what about us?
What about your constituents?
You know what I mean?
How does this justify income tax?
Where's the representation?
Yeah, right.
There's no representation.
No.
No, you see the city cops on their cars, the logo says to serve and protect, it just never says who.
You know?
Yeah, right.
Good point.
Dot, dot, dot, fill in the blank line.
I mean, because we have a lot of hungry people right now.
Let me tell you, in California alone, Mike, the homeless people around the country are coming here where this isn't just hobo gem homeless people, you know, with a stall away on a train.
No, these are like families.
These are people Artists who fell by the wayside, who are getting pushed back because of the migrant invasion.
And they're all coming through California, and their borders are wide open.
On top of the... Well, they don't swim here because the Tijuana River is poisoning all of San Diego.
It's so disgusting.
But they're all here now!
They're all coming through California!
And it's overwhelming the social service offices.
I spoke to somebody, she says, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but we can't even keep up the food stamps for not just the junkies, but the migrants coming in, all military age.
Unbelievable.
We need to talk about that.
Keep bringing us any details you have about these stories and what you're seeing locally, because you do travel quite a bit.
You see a lot of the scenes, and you have a lot of contacts, as I do as well.
But let me read you something here.
back to the hurricane scene in Tennessee, or Hurricane Hellene, like something out of hell, Ann VanderSteel texted this out, or she posted it.
60 bodies were found hanging in trees in Mitchell County, that's Western North Carolina.
And the reason the bodies are in the trees because the bodies were floating down the river and they just got hung up in the trees and then the water went down and the bodies are left in the trees.
Okay.
Military about to take over the airports.
Asheville Airport.
Water will be out for 30 days.
No water for 30 days.
No internet.
The next storm is coming.
Concerns are it's going to take out all the bridges going west of the interstate.
The mayor of Asheville is not answering questions, not done anything.
The entire Asheville infrastructure water system is completely down.
The only way through the Greensville area, let's see, the whole town of Lake Lure is completely gone.
Mudslides and landslides are taking out homes and people.
Illegal aliens were dropped off days before in Asheville, and they're just wandering around.
And then in other posts, we saw that there were reports of 100-foot deep ravines Appearing where there used to be neighborhoods like the whole freaking neighborhood is gone Washed away now.
It's a giant ravine and Dean Did you know that there are well over a thousand people still missing right now?
And this is we're gonna end up with Probably thousands dead out of this.
It's my guess.
Yeah, there's thousands missing right now the most recent update on that there's about Well, the biggest tragedies are coming out of North Carolina.
So the Carolinas are being hit hard.
There's still hot weather like never before.
Even, I mean, Phoenix is still breaking the records as we speak.
It seems to be concentrated on the red states, not to be a political theorist, but we have 103 dead in North Carolina, 38 missing as we speak, but excuse me, 38 dead in North Carolina.
We have a thousand missing, over a thousand plus missing in North Carolina.
28 passed in South Carolina, 21 dead in Georgia, 12 in Florida, 2 in Tennessee, over 100 missing there as well in Tennessee, and 2 dead deceased in Virginia.
This is, and this comes on the heels of just last weekend, an announcement at the Make America Healthy Again Tour.
A huge money laundering operation happening right smack in the middle of Nashville, Tennessee.
And we have this.
Which, wait, which money laundering operation are you referring to?
It was a press conference given in Vegas just over the weekend.
They were talking about a money laundering operation that was taking place in Tennessee, like underneath the ground.
We've heard about these stories before.
And it was just discovered and then boom, all this went down.
And here we are today.
And so that's a developing story as well. - Okay, I know there's a lot of minerals in the area.
I know there's some critical resources that feed the microchip supply, the tech sector, that are now completely down.
The supply chain to the tech sector is currently just offline.
I don't know how long it's going to take to repair some of this.
Like, some of those highways that are just gone, that's not an overnight repair.
It's like, you know, months to repair those.
Oh, big time.
Yeah, this is going to take.
And this is right after the Baltimore Bridge.
When did that happen?
Over the summer, the barge breaking, the train derailments.
You know, they're trying to tamper with the water.
We've seen them do this before.
Now, in California, today, in the past 24 hours, another raging fire going after the mountain residents, too.
So there's this persistent natural disaster, and they're promoting the green initiatives, too.
Happening in California, to all the farmers, the people you don't think about when you think about California.
Yeah, absolutely.
Don't you get the sense, Dean, that this country has become absolutely lawless?
Just complete lawlessness.
There's no rule of law that's functioning.
The government does whatever it wants to do.
And it's all completely insane, like Newsom signing this law in California that makes it illegal for local counties to stop vote fraud.
Like, if you try to request voter ID, that's a crime now at the state level.
So Newsom wants to make sure that vote rigging is legalized and codified into law all across the state.
But this is exactly the kind of thing that the government's doing across the entire country.
Just complete abandonment of the rule of law.
Everything's insane.
Nothing but lies and chaos.
And it's all engineered chaos.
It's engineered chaos.
You had one gentleman in the Congress, his name escapes me, they're saying they're prepared to go forward with J6 and post-Trump win.
So the fight doesn't end on election day.
We're going to get ready to deny election results.
And if you recall, when the pandemic first happened, you had the West part of the country, you had Colorado, Oregon, Washington, California, and Nevada have a union that they're going to follow their own CDC guidelines, despite what Trump might say during the lockdowns and so forth.
They're going to do the same thing after this election, and they're not going to recognize it.
And that's the destabilization.
That's where Trudeau sends in the people through the Gordie Howe Bridge.
And that's what they want to do on the West Coast with the Chinese coming in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, look, I've got some breaking news to share with the audience.
Would love your reaction to it, Dean.
So you know how last week I was given intel about the surface-to-air missile systems, the MANPADS, shoulder-fired systems that would take out, or at least the kill teams were trying to target Trump's airplane.
Remember that?
That's right.
Yeah.
A bunch of kill teams.
Blue City's right.
Yeah, you told me.
Right.
So I had that information.
Well, it was actually, I released that, I'm sorry, I released that the week before last week, it was the Friday, when I was hosting on InfoWars, and I covered that story, and no one had heard of that yet, and then, throughout last week, there were other confirmations of that story, and then it went really you know, widely circulated and Trump's security team got that information.
And I noticed that Trump has been flying on private charter jets now instead of the Trump Force One, which is easily identifiable because of its unique paint job.
Right.
Yeah.
By the way, these shoulder fired missiles.
And by the way, there are nine of them in the country.
They've been distributed to three kill teams.
And these are Iranian anti-air missile systems.
They can...
They can shoot down aircraft at a horizontal range of five kilometers and a vertical elevation of four kilometers.
That's a long distance.
That is a very serious range.
Oh, and they're automatic homing.
They have infrared homing capabilities, so they're actively scanning for the target that they're supposed to be going toward, and then they're adjusting their flight in order to take out those planes.
So now everybody knows about that, and Trump is taking defensive measures.
But I've got new information about something new.
You got any comments on the surface missiles?
No, I remember hearing about this.
Just like, you know, I was saying here at a real-deal meeting, we were saying about the EMP posturings of an attack at the rally, which goes under kind of intel I received, if you recall, about a year and a half ago, that the Army was training for EMP attacks.
We are just now figuring out that EMP attacks are not conventional.
They could be handheld.
They can be from a solo artist.
So that seems to be the case with the takedown owners.
But my question is, how does Iran benefit from doing an act like that when they're on the up and up financially?
They're joining BRICS.
They're doing excursions on Antarctica with their military now, which breaks a treaty, but it's another story.
Who benefits from this outside of Israel expanding their war to Iran?
The answer is, I have the same question, or had the same question, but the answer is simple.
Because Trump ordered the drone strike assassination of Soleimani.
That's why, during Trump's administration.
You remember that drone strike took out Soleimani?
That's right.
The top military leader in Iran, and he was assassinated at an airport.
I forgot which airport that was, but it was a drone strike that took him out and his vehicle and everybody that was with him.
That was a Trump-ordered drone strike.
That was back in the days when Trump had all the The neocon warmongers like John Bolton around him in the White House, right?
That's before Trump learned the lessons that he now knows, which are, like, never trust all these war hawks, you know?
But back then he trusted people like John Bolton and he signed off on this stuff.
And that assassination, Iran has never exacted revenge for that.
So that's why.
It just plays into the hands of the Israeli efforts to go after the axis of evil.
You know, it's North Korea, Iran, and Libya, according to General Wesley Clark.
And they're fulfilling that, the neocon dream.
It just baffles me, though, because if they continue to just let Israel play this out, they're not going to have ammo soon, like the U.S.
Army.
Oh, and Israel's not going to have ammo for its Iron Dome.
No!
It's burning through its ammo supplies very quickly, but Dean, I want to share with you and the audience some of the new intel of what's coming into the U.S., and I don't think anybody else has this information, but here it is.
The weapons system that is being brought into the U.S.
now are anti-personnel mines.
These are relatively small mines.
They are, they're buried in areas where pedestrians walk.
I'm told that these mines are pressure sensitive to the point where they won't explode if a vehicle goes over them.
Like, it has to, the pressure has to be within the range of a human person.
So they won't explode with vehicles rolling over them, but they will explode if a person steps on them.
Now, I didn't even know that that kind of mine technology existed, but apparently that's a common thing.
So, Dean, imagine – and we're talking about multiple cases of these mines.
I'm told they come 10 in a case, and there are multiple cases that are being brought across the open border into the U.S., We don't know where they're going after, you know, after they make it across the border.
No idea.
But Dean, imagine, like, freaking anti-personnel mines being placed by terrorists in areas where people walk.
Yeah, I can.
Because they try to do it in Nashville, December 26, 2020, a dirty bomb that went awry.
They got defused a free call.
There was also seven active shooters at the same time.
They can do the same thing now.
They've done it just months ago when Israel needed support for the war.
Now they can explode phones.
And it reminded me that didn't every migrant that came into this country with a red carpet, didn't they get a free cell phone as well?
Yeah, they got phones.
Right.
Can it work both ways?
You know, you have to ask.
I was told that those phones are going to be sent instructions of the GPS coordinates of where to go pick up weapon systems, and then also the GPS coordinates of the targets to sabotage with those weapons.
It'll be like, you know, step one, pick up this IED at this storage facility, and then step two, go blow up this bridge, or go blow up this power substation, or water treatment plant, or whatever.
Like, that's coming.
And it's going to be all across the country.
So, how do we prepare for that?
Because one of our first obstacles are going to be the city cops, who are going to do the diplomacy through a barrel of those in power of the big cities, which isn't necessarily the people of the red, you know?
These are big-time Democrat, CCP-controlled backers here we're going against.
The cities are just going to, I mean, some of them are going to be absolutely crippled.
They're going to become death traps, frankly.
Not every one of them, but you know how vulnerable a city is, Dean?
I mean, you know, these cities, they depend on the power grid, the water supply, the food supply, the fuel supply, the highways, everything.
I mean, look at what's happening in North Carolina right now, and you get the idea of just how vulnerable systems are.
These big cities are going to be taken offline by these terrorists.
No!
They can't afford it!
And the other thing that we're learning out of the floods is that, Dean, like people don't even have a week's worth of food.
They don't have a water filter.
They don't have even stored water for a week.
That's shocking to me.
They can't afford it.
They can't afford it.
Well, no, I know.
I hear that.
But water is almost free.
I mean, it's kind of like just, how do you not have bottles with water in them?
For people, this is all new to them.
I mean, as soon as football came back on, people forgot about reality, but that's happening.
And, you know, to your point, I also see, I also, the gangs are uniting too.
Gangs of Chicago, of LA, they are pissed at the migrants.
In those taking over cities, and we see it happening in Dallas, all these animals they're eating.
I think there's going to be a purge, and I think that the city cops are going to let it happen.
A purge of what?
You mean the gangs going to war against the immigrants?
Yes, against migrant gangs, yeah.
I think it's going to be a purge.
I can see it.
The cops don't mind it happening.
They want to watch from the sidelines.
We're going to see that in multiple cities.
You don't know who's going to make who.
It's going to be a straight up purge.
Well, I'll tell you what, I'll put my money on the gangs if that's the case.
That's their home turf.
They don't mess around, man.
So Mike and I are going to join the Crips.
That's what we're announcing.
No, I'm just saying if you had to place a bet, I'm going to bet on the home team, you know?
I'm going to bet on the Globetrotters being the generals this year.
Yeah, now, some of these immigrant gangs, like Tren de Aragua, they're some pretty hardcore, you know, rifle-toting gangs that are, like, they're taking over the apartment buildings.
As you know, in Colorado, they're just saying, pay us rent now.
You pay rent to us now, and they just go door-to-door demanding rent, you know?
What are you gonna do?
And the cops are hands-off.
That's not flying in Texas, obviously.
In Texas, they just, they get arrested.
But in these liberal states, they just get to do whatever they want.
So the argument is, from the Latte Liberals, the PMSNBC viewers, is that, well, it's just a few immigrants.
How are just a few immigrants causing downtrodden society in the city?
How are they a harm?
And I said, well, it just takes one immigrant with an AK-47, who's of the military age, to lock down an entire city.
Draws every cop in the squadron to find this person, i.e.
Gordon from years ago.
Now imagine that all over the country.
I mean, that's what happened.
It's the plot out of Die Hard 3, the exact same plot.
You confuse the law enforcement and then steal the gold when they're not looking.
Oh, that was Die Hard 3.
Yeah.
And it happened on 9-11 too, that exact same thing too.
The gold and all that stuff.
It's crazy.
Wasn't that the Die Hard with Samuel Jackson where they made the Bruce Willis character wear that sign at the street corner that said I hate and then N word?
Remember that?
What was the... I Hate Neighbors?
I forgot what it said.
Right, right.
It was the Simon Says episode, and then the Samuel L. Jackson character said, call the police, there's about to be a murder.
Yeah, a murder.
It was a good one.
Simon Says, because he was getting revenge because Bruce Willis killed his brother out of the Takakami building.
Yeah.
Nakatomi.
Nakatomi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nakatomi.
I'm pretty sure it's Nakatomi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nakatomi.
Yeah.
Don't try to out-nerd me on Die Hard.
Like every Christmas movie.
Every year.
It is the only Christmas movie.
Every year I ask you, what's your favorite Christmas movie?
We're taking Top Ten again.
You say the same thing every year.
Die Hard.
Die Hard.
It's Die Hard.
But do you remember that the police officer there, when he got out of his car to look up at the Nakatomi Tower, he was at a gas station.
Yeah, Carl Winslow.
Do you recall what the gas prices were?
Okay, you hit the nerd dom of Die Hard trivia.
What was it?
No, I'm just... I'm going off memory too, but I'm pretty sure it was like 75 cents a gallon or something like that.
It was really, really... It tells you how bad inflation has been all these years.
Yeah, it was 1987, and now Bruce Willis has, they say, just horrible dementia.
He doesn't even know who he is anymore.
Yeah, that's very sad.
Very sad.
That plot, Die Hard 3, if you haven't seen it, I interviewed Michelle Little from 9-11.
That's exactly what she experienced.
She saw the gold heist with her own eyes, searching for her brother.
It's identical.
Identical plot.
No kidding.
Big time.
So, whoa.
So she wasn't getting answers about her brother, who was in the towers.
For weeks!
So by week two, get this, she goes, she flies to New York, to Ground Zero, she puts her worker boots on, a week and a half, almost two weeks later, the bottom of the soles of her shoes, they're all melted.
It was still molded and melting everywhere.
And she was going to go look for him, and a Marine said, you cross that line, see that guy up there?
He's going to shoot you.
They had snipers.
They're moving gold out of that whole plaza.
Well, everyone was distracted at Ground Zero at the Twin Towers.
They were moving gold.
They had gold stashed there.
Oh, and that's why they needed all the dump trucks and they said they were removing the rubble of the buildings.
That's right.
That is Die Hard 3.
It is absolutely Die Hard 3.
That's why there's all that symbolism in the movie of 9-11 to come.
Oh, man.
Is that crazy?
Yeah, but that's Hollywood foreshadowing.
What movie are we living through right now, Den, as we're talking about massive infrastructure failures, weaponization of the weather systems?
What movie is this?
It's a combination of movies, and I put it all, it's a combination of Faces of Death, Revenge of the Nerds, also Hunger Games, A little bit of Porky's in there, too, and just, you know, from Hell movies, all in one.
But also The Longest Day, too, with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum.
A great war movie.
Wow.
So many countries.
Well, I think, see, I think that we're living under the movie Oblivion with Morgan Freeman and Tom Cruise, which was the alien invasion that was sucking up all the ocean water while the Tom Cruise character was actually a cloned human who was reprogrammed to think he was defending Earth and that Earth had been, had survived a war, but actually the aliens were siphoning off all of Earth's resources.
So it's like...
I mean, the geoengineering, the terraforming that's happening in the atmosphere, sucking the CO2 out of the sky is just like the terraforming machines are being built across the Midwest.
I'm like, that's oblivion, man.
Or, we just watched this, our Real Deal members, the Night Owls, who are listening, they absolutely love Mike, but we just watched The Road with Viggo Mortensen from 2009.
Oh, that's brutal.
Have you seen that one?
Cannibalism.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I couldn't watch the whole thing, but I know they were making human jerky.
Yeah, well they are now.
I mean, wait until people find out what really went on in Haiti.
Because I can confirm with you, tapes coming out of Haiti in the black market about what people like Oprah, Puff Daddy, all these people were doing, those exist.
Okay, wow.
I wonder if that's going to come out.
But Dean, I did get you two tickets to a new Broadway theatrical production called Diddler on the Roof.
I'm starring the Diddler.
You did?
That's so thoughtful of you.
Hopefully Balcony Suits.
Yeah.
Do you think anything's going to come of the whole P. Diddy arrest?
Or was he an FBI agent the entire time and they're just using it for blackmail?
I actually interviewed a gentleman who was at the actual Club 11 over there in Miami where Puff Daddy and everybody met.
That was kind of what the old restaurants of the Italian mob from yesteryear are to today.
That's where they would compromise people.
What they did to Justin Bieber is just unconscionable.
He's a victim of all this.
But I do know that Justin Bieber, you know, it's wild that now we're realizing he was totally victimized.
I mean, he was sexually abused by numerous executives in the music industry.
Where are the parents?
They should be shamed.
They sold their son.
All right, so bottom line here is, As we're wrapping this up, here we have Israel going to war with Lebanon.
This is going to set off freaking World War III if they don't pull them back.
Who can stop Israel?
Israel is just a completely rogue, out of control, insane nation that just calls up the U.S.
every day.
Send more money.
Send more bombs.
Send more weapons.
And whoever is even running the U.S.
now is like, okay, what else can we send you?
And then they just, they just keep bombing their neighbors.
This has got, somebody's got to stop Israel.
Who's that going to be?
I think it's going to be, um, well, I know this is crazy.
I think Donald Trump is threading a very close line because he's no fan of Netanyahu.
Zelensky just had a meeting with the Donald and left happy.
He wants, whether he supports Israel or not, what he doesn't want is a greater war.
And he wants to be the Prince of Peace, the guy who made a deal with the Mideast.
And I think that's why he plays his cards close.
What he's doing, the more and more this goes, the more the neocons, the Zionist neocons that they derive from, Israel, the people who are even worse behind Netanyahu, now we know who people behind Netanyahu are.
We never knew that before, this guy named Galat.
The entire people that run the IDF, these are war criminals that are showing themselves by the day.
Just like that one gentleman, I won't say his name, but a lot of the supporters, they keep showing themselves.
And I think it sets the stage for Donald Trump to make a peace deal for the region.
And it's also showing that Netanyahu, a funded author, created the top leaders.
of Hezbollah, and he transferred $18 million through Qatar to get to them in 2018.
So it's just another mirror of ISIS and al-Qaeda that we've lived through in the past 20 years.
Well, and on top of that, we know that Israel also funded Hamas.
That's what I meant.
Sorry, I meant Hamas, Mike.
I said Hezbollah.
Yeah, I meant Hamas.
You're absolutely correct.
Yeah, I think Iran mostly funds Hezbollah, and Israel funded Hamas because Hamas, they saw Hamas as the better alternative to the PLA, and they wanted Hamas to have political power.
And actually, Hamas was preparing for the day of liberation or whatever you want to call it, which was the ultimate war against Israel, which is a colonizing force in the region.
Let's be clear about it.
Israel shows up in 1948 and says, all this belongs to us.
And it's like, what?
These other people have been here for a thousand years or more, and all of a sudden you show up and you say, God gave this to us like 4,000 years ago.
But these people have been here for a thousand years.
Well, we don't care.
God told us we can kill them.
That's the Netanyahu story.
God told us we can kill everybody.
I can't believe this is happening.
Well, I mean, he's been in power since 1995.
He's been on our lives daily in some form or fashion.
You had people like Jim Trafigan of Illinois, a former congressman, yelling at the top of his lungs throughout the 90s, we give $5 billion a year, and I believe they take it from the post office.
You know, it's always these institutions.
Then you had Cynthia McKinney screaming, and they got called anti-Semites all that time, and redistricted.
I think Hezbollah destroys Israel on the ground.
Now Israel has air superiority, that's no question about it.
But bottom, I mean, who's going to stop or how does Israel get stopped?
I mean, I will say I think Hezbollah destroys Israel on the ground.
Now, Israel has air superiority.
That's no question about it.
They can bomb the crap out of everybody, and they're doing it with precision.
But on the ground, that's a different story.
Hezbollah has tunnels, like massive tunnels under the border with Israel.
They're going to be able to pop up anti-tank teams, you know, behind the invading forces and just, you know, blow away their tanks from the rear.
Russia is, they had an emergency urgent alert today, just the past 24 hours, Putin.
Yeah, Russian forces just got 130,000 conscription new people to go to the front lines of Ukraine.
They could also send those to Iran because apparently one of their Air Force bases in Iran or something nearby was hit by Israel.
That's not good because now Putin is there.
China is going to be picking up the pieces.
They're getting more ground in Africa as this is happening.
This is what they're doing.
But this is, yeah, this is a huge scene.
I think it's going to be stopped when we just can't fund them anymore, when they're starving Americans and all these natural disasters.
It cannot be explained.
People won't put up with it anymore.
See, I think that the U.S.
State Department wants to start war with Russia before the election, but they are terrified of war in the Middle East.
And Dean, I have a theory.
I want your take on this.
You know how Trump is heavily funded by Zionist money, and Trump has made all kinds of promises to Israel, and also promises to destroy Iran.
Let me ask you this.
I'm not saying Trump is in on this, but doesn't it serve Trump's election victory to have Israel escalate war in the Middle East right now, because the White House is terrified of that?
Doesn't that actually help Trump, in a way, in the election?
It does, because he can say, when I was in office, there was no war.
I would have made a deal.
He's turning the way Israelis think about their government that's an ethnostate.
And that's what Netanyahu is.
He's going to say, no, I'm a friend, but I just don't want war.
And he's going to be, and he's going to be a friend to the, he's going to make a deal with the leaders of Hamas.
And it's just sad that some of these pro-Palestinian, um, you know, rallies are being used like, you know, to, to, uh, you know, get anarchy and violence started.
But I think that's how he plays it, politically, is gonna be like a maestro.
Really, how he's playing it.
Well, assuming we have an election, and also don't forget that the The Free Palestine protests are also being kind of hijacked and overtaken by the Antifa militant groups, that instead of being anti-Trump, now they're anti-Israel, but it's still sort of globalist-funded, organized groups.
So it's not as organic and spontaneous as it was when it was mostly just students saying, hey, stop bombing Gaza.
Now it's these other bust-in groups that are sort of hijacking that movement, making it more artificial.
It's sickening that you're using the plight of the Palestinians to push the communist agenda, which they've been doing since the 60s.
They used to infiltrate the Black Panthers in the 60s and Martin Luther King.
They're doing it again, and I'm glad that we can be consistent and call that out accordingly.
Yeah, right.
This is important, that these communist groups, they infiltrate popular cultural movements to try to push their agendas, hidden as some other agenda.
In this case, you know, the Free Palestine agenda.
And by the way, you know, my heart goes out to all those people whose family members have been killed in the relentless bombing of civilians.
In Gaza, and now in Lebanon, you know, tens of thousands of innocent women and children and doctors and elderly.
Mike, I'll tell you, I lived in Vegas for a few years and there's a big Lebanese community out there and they're the most beautiful people.
A lot of them are Christians.
A lot of people may not know.
Yeah.
I think over the country.
They are, yeah.
The women are absolutely stunning.
They always win beauty pageants.
They're just a beautiful people.
They don't deserve this war.
That's a massive extreme version of Wag the Dog by Netanyahu.
And here we are.
And we're supposed to support this through income tax?
What a crime.
There's the immorality right there.
Absolutely.
But you mentioned Wag the Dog.
That's been replaced now by Eat the Dog, by the way.
And the cats.
Oh, man.
Catch Mike this weekend at the Tropicana opening for Buddy Hacker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wag the dog is old news.
Eat the dog is the new thing, in case you were wondering.
From the producers of Wag the Dog, now we bring you the dog.
Eating the cats.
Eat the cats.
Eat the cats.
How disgusting.
Right.
But as you say, at some point, if this gets bad enough, they're going to be eating the people, is where this is going.
You know, cannibalism is very real.
They're doing it.
I mean, there are people that are starting to get really freaking hungry right now, even in places like Tennessee and North Carolina.
I'm not saying that they're eating people at this point, but I'm saying if there's a Mad Max collapse scenario where the grocery stores just get no food, when people go hungry after about two, three weeks, they start killing people.
That's just human nature.
If it gets to that point, I'm giving you permission.
Take me out and eat me if that happens.
I won't feel bad.
With my permission.
The most subtle way of saying, eat me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, we've been friends long enough.
I feel comfortable telling you if it gets to that point, I'm willing to accept that.
But, you know.
Well, Dean, I'm into stored food, so I don't have to, like, nibble on people's fingers and toes, you know?
I've got quinoa.
Okay, well, we understand.
Well, you know, this is exactly what, this is what the clause in Amazon.com, I believe it's clause number 16 somewhere around there, they talk about the zombie apocalypse.
That's true, yeah.
As of 2016, they added that clause in their terms and policies.
So this is what they were anticipating.
The further we go here.
But, you know, on the upswing, this mass casualty event, Mike, this would be the perfect excuse For that mass arrest that we've been hearing about, there were like over a hundred people could be missing just like that.
This could be the moment.
Well, I don't know.
I'm always skeptical when people talk about mass arrests because, you know, it sounds like a lot of the Q stuff that never happened.
But things are changing, that's for sure.
I mean, half the leaders in New York City are now being indicted.
You notice that?
Oh yeah, Mayor Boondoggle, the mayor of New York.
What's his name?
Eric Adams.
No, not Eric Adams.
Eric Adams.
Eric Adams, no relation.
It's Eric Adams.
No relation.
Not related, no.
Initially I said, well gee, it might have been that one time.
No, but anyways, he's involved in the Diddy case.
Same with heads of universities like Rutgers.
Same with execs from all over the spectrum.
Or involved in these tapes with Puff Daddy, the informant.
Well, that's why I think it's, I think it's an FBI operation, and I think, I noticed that a lot of the people that were at the Diddy parties, they're all now endorsing Kamala.
Oh yeah!
As if somebody called them up and said, hey, we're going to release this blackmail, unless you endorse Kamala.
Yeah!
You could be in these tapes and drugged and not even know where you are, but just to know that you're in the tape.
You know, there could be well-known names that we know of.
We don't know how they got there or what the context is.
People are getting drugged left and right, and you just don't know.
You're like, what?
There's a video of me?
I don't even remember.
Like Justin Bieber, supposedly with Michelle Obama, allegedly.
That's disgusting.
Yeah, I know, two dudes like that getting it on, no, that's not interesting.
Michael!
Michael!
No, but jokes aside, you're right, people can be set up in these traps and they can be drugged and then they're unconscious and then what happens is the FBI, excuse me, the FBI or whoever's running it They'll just roll in a bunch of prostitutes to just hang out with you on, on like your hotel bed while you're unconscious.
They take a bunch of photos.
You wake up 12 hours later.
You didn't even do anything.
But then they have all these photos staged.
Yeah.
It's like, now we got you and you didn't even do anything.
I mean, cause these socialite guys are all over the place.
You could be taking an innocent airplane ride somewhere.
Blackmail is the currency of the political elite.
That's what everybody needs to take away from this.
They're just all over the place.
You don't know who's who.
So, you know, but the list, they said it's worse than Epstein.
Blackmail is the currency of the political elite.
That's what everybody needs to take away from this.
Blackmail is their currency.
And they won't put somebody into a position of high power in the music industry, in the film industry, in politics, unless they have dirt on them first.
And some of these people voluntarily do things on video to give them the dirt to say, yeah, you know, I'll give you blackmail on me so that you can make me, you know, senator or mayor.
That's right.
And then they do it voluntarily.
Well, there's a lot of sketchy stuff going on, that's for sure, but the main thing I want people to take away from this is that we've got to get prepared because the government is literally at war with the American people on several fronts.
Economic warfare, chemical warfare, vaccine, medicine warfare, psychological operations, cyber attacks, financial warfare, all these forms of war.
I think, Dean, I think we've arrived at that moment where the breakdown is accelerating, and a lot of people aren't going to survive this if they don't start to take care of themselves.
I mean, people are going to die in what is unfolding, is my point.
Well, you know, it goes back to Plato's cave.
Those who sought for more of a life than being in a cave and discovered the emperor has no Survive it all.
And, you know, kind of as we kind of round robin, I think it's people who are inquisitive, intuitive, and have discernment, and people that read Natural News, support Mike and all his efforts with Brighton, and including myself at Realdale Mania.
It's these people listening to this now that give those of us who are awake, give us hope, because there's more of us building in every day.
And we're getting stronger.
And that's why the true media like Mike and what others are doing, they are the last buffer, we're the last buffer of reality, common sense and logic between the New World Order. - Well, and I don't feel like you finished the metaphor of Plato's Cave, but you kind of did right there.
So let me finish it for you.
Instead of watching shadows on the wall, turn around!
Turn around and see the real, the source of the shadows of the wall.
See reality, instead of just watching apparitions everywhere and believing in the psyops of the news.
You know, you don't have to spend your life looking at sorcery and imagery.
You can open your eyes and actually You know, witness reality and participate in it.
It's like, who would have thought, you know, 30 years, 40 years ago, people in England saying, why do we still have a monarchy?
And we have generations today that are saying, we don't need monarchy anymore.
I mean, just to have that in the lexicon of why is so important.
There's a lot of people who are dying without ever asking why.
And that's... Well, let that be everybody's goal.
Before you die, ask why.
Yeah, ask why, that's all I need.
Before you die, be sure to ask why.
Like, that's the takeaway.
Yeah, I need the closure, if you don't mind.
It's the bumper sticker, the whole point of the show is to make sure that you ask why.
I need this, if you don't mind, yes, and make sure to mail, mailbox, mail your answer.
Like we should remind – no, it's going to get – in all seriousness, folks, it's going to get bad.
And Dean and I like to joke around because – I mean it's gallows humor, frankly.
We like to joke around because the world is so insane.
But there's a seriousness behind this, which is that we're dealing with a truly insane time and the governments are at war with human populations.
Like that's really where we are.
The lunacy of it all.
And, you know, it's the fact that there's other voices out there that are speaking, you know, and doing this.
I think that keeps people sane.
And, you know, we've been on this journey together now for four years, and we've been waiting for this moment that's about to embark on us.
Just, what is it?
Weeks away?
Four weeks away or something?
The election?
Yeah.
People thought Trump was going to come back in 21, 22, and here we are.
The stage is set, and how is this going to end is the biggest question, and people want to know why, amongst other things.
Well, I think it's, I think my best guess, and I'll ask you for your best guess and then we'll wrap this up, but my best guess is that Trump does win the election.
It's going to be hard fought in the days after election day, but I think Trump wins this because there's just overwhelming support for Trump and Kamala is all staged.
And then I think what's going to happen is the radical left is going to freaking lose their minds and they're going to erupt into Civil revolt, chaos, sabotage, terrorism, you name it.
They're going to try to burn down the country before Trump takes office.
That's my take.
What's your take?
No, that's right.
Because with a new Trump presidency, that's new trade deals with China.
They don't want that.
China's highly invested in New Mexico.
They're highly invested in California and the coastal cities.
Their people are moving in.
In California, they're buying homes.
A medium home is $2.5 to $4.5 million.
They're buying with cash.
So we have an invasion.
We have a war on American soil.
But do people know, and I think those of us who do, at least three to five percent, we're the ones who are going to take it back.
We're going to survive it.
But to Mike's point, yeah, we're going to see a purge.
We're going to see a purge.
The gangs are going to fight it out.
We got to be ready and we got to help each other during this purge that's coming.
Absolutely.
Alright, that's the takeaway then.
Actually, it's not, uh, before you die, be sure to ask why.
It's actually, um, get prepared so you don't die.
And then try to help as many people as you can to not die.
But for those who did die, you should ask why.
Why did you die?
Did you not have a Glock?
Did the zombies get you?
Did you eat some bad cannibal human jerky?
Yeah, which way did you go wrong on your journey?
It's important to me, Mike.
Yes!
It's important to me.
Yeah, but look, I know it sounds gruesome, but... Gruesome newsome.
This is where things are headed, so... Alright, I'm gonna say survival is victory.
Survival is victory.
So be sure to be ready for what's coming, folks.
You know, on a practical note, all jokes aside, we are entering some very dangerous times here, so be sure to be prepared.
All right, folks, I hope you enjoyed that.
We need a little bit of humor.
Dean Ryan and I joking around, but sometimes not, sometimes just covering current events, but sometimes joking around, I hope.
I mean, look, these times are so intense.
We all need to let off a little bit of steam with some humor or some satire now and then.
So that's the segment that you just heard.
But, you know, in all seriousness, yes, Israel is invading Lebanon.
There is a very strong risk of escalation into World War III, or at least a regional war from that.
And then also, by the way, it's confirmed that the dock workers have gone on strike.
So this is 45,000 dock workers from Texas all the way through Florida, up the East Coast to Maine.
They've gone on strike.
It's apparently going to cost the U.S.
economy $3.8 billion in the first week.
This is the largest strike in decades.
It's very clear to me that the White House is going to use federal law to order these workers back to work for the, you know, the 90 day cooling off period.
And yes, so these longshoremen are going to go back to work and then they're not going to work.
They're going to have work slowdowns.
And the Teamsters Union says they stand with the International Longshoremen's Association.
And as you saw from that video earlier, the longshoremen, they're not joking around.
They're going to cripple this economy.
And, you know, look, there's a lot of views about unions, like here's someone That seems to be more of a libertarian online saying unions are labor cartels who violate free association by even existing under current labor laws.
Striking is coercion aggression.
So that's one view.
The other view is that with inflation worsening and food very difficult to afford and insurance and everything becoming more expensive because of all the money printing, that don't people who actually show up and work their jobs, don't they deserve a that don't people who actually show up and work their jobs, don't I know some of you might say, well, they make a lot more than a living wage.
Well, yeah, but they handle heavy equipment.
They work hard.
Not during the stoppage, obviously, but I mean, right now I think we've got to honor any Americans that are willing to show up and work and do a job and do it well and handle heavy machinery and work that involves many safety risks, for example.
And moving physical goods off the ships and onto the trucks and operating the cranes and the forklifts and everything else, this is not something that you just want to turn over to anybody.
These jobs, they do require training, expertise, some level of risk, a level of real effort, and I do believe that the American people, no matter what their jobs, if they're willing to put in an honest day's work, that They shouldn't be paid just a pittance to where they can barely afford to live.
But, you know, the real problem underneath all of this, it's not even the contract or the wages.
The real problem is the money printing, folks.
If the money printing wasn't happening, then living would be a lot more affordable for everybody.
And also, taxation.
So imagine if Trump came along and just said, hey, we're going to end the federal income tax for all workers.
Then the longshoremen wouldn't need to strike because they could keep everything that they earn other than, you know, state taxes.
But if federal income taxes were ended, everybody would be better off, including the longshoremen, including all the other workers, including teachers, including doctors, everybody, everybody that works.
We should end federal taxation and we should stop the insane money printing.
That's how you actually help workers in America.
In fact, ending taxation would be the most pro-worker radical change or reform ever in the history of our country.
You know, Trump said he's going to end taxes on tips for the service industry workers.
That's great.
That's a great start.
He says he's going to end federal income taxes on overtime pay.
That's also awesome.
Sure.
Why should people pay taxes on overtime?
Why not just end all income taxes on all workers all the time?
And I know some whiners out there, well how will the government fund itself?
You moron, the government prints the money it needs.
The government doesn't need tax money to fund itself, it prints the money.
You don't need tax money.
Taxes are designed to suppress the American people.
To keep people stuck in a cycle of never-ending working and taxation and effectively poverty.
Even though they may have a luxury house or a car, but they don't usually own it and they're just living paycheck to paycheck.
Even if they're making a hundred grand plus a year, there's a lot of people who have six-figure incomes and they're basically impoverished.
They don't own anything.
That's because of taxation.
End all federal taxes.
Let all the workers keep what they earn.
And if you want to raise money for the federal government, it's very simple.
You have tariffs, and you slash the size of the government by 90%.
Suddenly, the budget is balanced.
You slash 9 out of 10 government workers.
That's what you do.
You end all these handouts.
You end all these bureaucracies.
You slash it.
You send those people packing into the private sector to do something that's actually useful for the economy.
And then you don't need to tax people.
You don't even really need to tax corporations.
You could just do it all with taxes on, like, energy and tariffs.
That would fund the entire operation.
And then anything that they didn't, if they didn't have enough, they could, they would just print money anyway.
I'm not saying that I advocate that, because that does devalue the dollar, but you know they're going to print money anyway.
So if they're printing money, why do they need to tax us?
You realize that government spending has nothing to do with government tax revenues.
There's no correlation between the two.
So you can't tell me that taxation provides the money that sets limits on government spending.
No, it doesn't.
They spend more anyway.
So stop all taxation.
And then the longshoremen would be happy to go back to work.
In fact, this is what Trump should do if he's elected, is just say, we're going to end IRS taxation of the individual.
Period.
Just end it.
In fact, refund all the federal taxes that everybody paid for the last five years.
But the bottom line is that the supply chain is now going to absolutely crumble.
And this is on top of all the horrible storms and everything that's happening there and all the escalation of war in the Middle East.
We're about to ride through an extremely difficult time here in the United States.
Just like we said, bad things are coming.
It's not looking good.
All right, now I interviewed Andy Sheckman recently, who is featured in our upcoming docuseries at brightyou.com.
That docuseries, we're finishing up Home Medicine Skills with Marjorie Wildcraft.
That's ending, I think, today.
And then we're launching a new docuseries called Financial Preparedness.
Financial Preparedness interviews top people like Gerald Cilenti and Andy Sheckman, David Morgan, and many others.
That program, you can register for it now.
It begins airing on, I think it's October 12th.
Yeah, Saturday, October 12th.
It's free to watch like all our programs at Brighton University, brightu.com.
You can also optionally purchase it and download it if you wish, or you can just register and watch it all for free.
But today we interview Andy Schekman, and Andy shares the latest warnings about what's happening with the dollar, the global de-dollarization, the rise of the BRICS currencies, gold and silver, debt, and the U.S.
economy.
And we filmed this interview right before this hurricane, the storm, Helene, before it hit.
So we haven't even factored that into this interview, but check out this interview with Andy Shekman.
I think you'll really find it to be very informative.
And then after that, we'll have today's sermon.
Thank you for listening.
Welcome to this very special interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and we are joined today by possibly the most important guest and analyst for your financial future.
His name is Andy Scheckman.
He's the CEO of Miles Franklin, and we're recording this on the day that gold Hit $2,680 and futures just peaked over $2,700.
So, Andy, welcome to the show today.
You've nailed it again and again and again.
Welcome, brother.
You have been so correct.
Thank you for joining me today.
Mike, the honor is mine.
Don't be silly.
Thank you for having me and for the kind introduction.
I'm flattered and honored to be here.
Well, you are known for a couple of key topics.
One of them, of course, you were the first person I ever heard talking about the BRICS system and global de-dollarization, which is accelerating.
So I'd love to get your input on that later in this broadcast.
But first, given that gold is skyrocketing, tell us about what you think is happening in gold.
And specifically, are we finally seeing an uptick in the retail sales of gold by regular folks, not just central banks?
One of the craziest things, Mike, about this last rally is since 2022, we saw a switch where gold was going up this way, yet the participation in the West was going down a 45-degree angle like you're skiing down the Swiss Alps.
And that's unusual.
At the same time, according to, if we really believe the The Bureau of Labor Statistics.
I'd rather, as we've talked about before, yank the L out of that and just call it the BS and the CP lie.
But if we just believe it, we have positive real yield, for example, on a six-month treasury over 5% with 3.25% inflation.
Okay, positive real yield, strong dollar and falling participation since 2022 in the In the interest, especially in ETF outflows for the U.S.
public, and yet gold continues to move higher.
That's something that most people would have thought would have been impossible, right?
It should have been the opposite of that.
Typically, the movements of the ETFs track the price of gold, and for two years they have diverged completely and totally.
And now, to your point, we are seeing finally an uptick in ETF inflows, along with a pivot by Powell by 50 basis points.
Into what I thought was such a strong economy.
The numbers are so strong.
We need 50 basis points to prop it up.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
And well, you know, and now they're going to they're going to revise the GDP numbers tomorrow.
They've already revised the unemployment numbers by a million.
And everything that comes out of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is nonsense.
But as a result, what we have is something to really be bullish about it.
And, you know, It's like one of those deals, Mike, where you're driving your car into work one day, and you feel a little tug on the left side.
You feel a tug.
You feel a little vibration.
You're not an auto mechanic.
You don't know what the heck it is, but you feel something.
You don't know what it is, but something ain't right.
Well, that's the way I would simply say the way I feel about the price of gold, only to the other degree, in that something is very different than anything I've ever seen before.
The strength is remarkable.
And I kind of feel as if the half of the world understands that the key to winning the game is not to do so with weapons and military aggression, but rather to do so in our own rules, in our own sandbox.
And that is that the delivery of commodities off of the Western futures exchanges, both the LBMA and the COMEX, the London Bullion Metals Association and the COMEX, It's a valve that has never been exploited.
Countries have always had the ability, and traders have always had the ability to stand for delivery, but no one ever did.
It represented less than 1% of all contracts issued.
And when you take a look at the way that things are done in London, for example, they say they trade 20 million ounces of gold per day and 290 million ounces of silver per day, yet those numbers are 10 times I mean, the volumes you're talking about are extraordinary.
post the final settlement number.
But that's extraordinary, though.
I mean, the volumes you're talking about are extraordinary.
Of course.
That's three and a half times annual global mine supply in silver per day.
That's incredible.
And 200 million ounces of gold per day.
Ninety-plus percent of those contracts are paper.
Now, I know where you're going with this.
I think you're going to say, even if a small percentage of that ends up taking delivery, then there's no more, I mean, the metals are gone.
Well, in the month of August, 8.1% of the available silver off the London Bullion Metals Exchange was delivered, over 25 million ounces.
That's a lot!
In one month, that's right.
And so what they are doing is they're like in a jiu-jitsu, guy comes at you, you grab him and throw him over your shoulder.
They're using the leverage that we've produced against us.
And they're standing for delivery.
And that is why I think the price keeps going higher, independent of the Western lack of participation, strong dollar and positive real yield.
Now, when that changes, They're lowering rates.
The ETF numbers are going up.
It's rocket fuel.
It really, truly is rocket fuel if the American public wakes up in any meaningful way, because their allocation in the West from Joe and Jane Six-Pack to the Harvard Endowment Fund is one half of one percent.
You make it five percent, just a lowly five percent.
That's it.
And that's what most financial advisors would say.
Well, OK, you should own five percent, which is nonsense to me.
But if you made it five, that's a tenfold increase in demand in this industry, just in physical or in ETF inflows.
And it's enough to really propel this price higher than I don't even think that's baked into the cake yet in terms of price projections.
This reemergence of the American public is something that is should not be underestimated.
I mean, I want to talk about price, where it's going.
But first, let me mention, you've been interviewed for a key event that we have coming up at Brighton University.
It's free for everybody to register and watch with an optional purchase.
It's called Financial Survival.
Folks, if you go to brightu.com, that's just the word bright followed by the letter U. It's short for Brighton University.
Register right here.
Your name and email.
It's free.
And then beginning October 12th, I wish it would come sooner, given where we are, but October 12th is coming up.
You'll be able to watch the episodes of the interviews with you, Andy, and other experts in metals.
We've also even got David Dubin joining us.
I like David.
I'm interviewing him about a number of topics as well.
We've got Gerald Cilenti is part of the docuseries.
I've done several special segments for it and some bonus segments, Q&A, things like that.
But I just want to mention to people, it's free to watch.
Each day, one episode each day, you can optionally purchase it.
You can download all the episodes and watch them on your own time and that will help support the Brighton University docuseries team that's working on now a number of docuseries events.
And I want to mention that your company, Miles Franklin, here it is, milesfranklin.com, you're the CEO of Miles Franklin.
You have graciously offered to be an official supporter of the event, and if I heard you correctly in our pre-talk, I think you said that you will match, when people purchase the event to support us, you will match that as a donation to Brighteon.
Yes, I will.
There are very few people, Mike, and I'm not trying to To cozy up with you.
I would just simply say there are very few people that get it the way that you do.
I often cite your work in my podcast.
I watch as much as I can of what you do.
I read as much as I can of what you publish.
There are very few people who get it and it would be my honor to do what I can not only You know, we're all pulling the same wagon.
And some of us, like yourself, pull harder than others.
So it would be my honor and my way of saying thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it.
And we would.
We would like to do that and help you keep the lights on, if you will, and continue to do what you're doing.
Because if all you do... You know, I have people that live in my neighborhood.
The guy right across the street here is one of the biggest money managers in the United States.
Forbes top 40 in North America wouldn't know a gold or silver coin if it fell on his foot.
It's incredibly well read, just reads the wrong stuff.
And if all you do is follow the mainstream and not someone like yourself, you're just lost and you're going to get run over by what's coming.
So it's my honor to help a guy like you help get the information out there.
And I thank you for letting me be part of it.
Well, thank you.
That's incredibly generous on your part.
And so just to confirm to the audience here, I mean, just to repeat it, if you buy the course at brightu.com or you can go to brighteonuniversity.com to purchase the course, Miles Franklin is going to match what you paid as a donation to the Brighton University team that's producing more documentaries.
Thank you for that.
But also let me return the favor.
You have a secret price list that is not public, and only people who watch these interviews know how to get access to that secret price list, so give us the email address of how people can request that list.
Yeah, that would be info at milesfranklin.com.
Info at milesfranklin.com.
That's a price list we hold close to the vest.
And anything, um, any questions that you hear on this interview or any of the others that Mike and I have done in the past or any questions, uh, feel free to jot them down.
No obligation.
We're just happy to send you the priceless.
If you want, you want to be contacted, put your phone number down and that's what you sell are.
Traditional gold and silver coins, different mints from around the world, U.S.
mints, other world mints, also some bars as well, right?
Yes, I mean, I like to think of what we sell as being vanilla ice cream.
Anything from the six major mints of the world, U.S., Canada, Austria, Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, or bars or rounds made by respected refineries around the globe.
We stay, although we can get people any of the numismatics they want, typically we reserve that for people who specifically ask for it and know what they're talking about.
It is our mission to get people as much gold and silver for the least amount of premium as possible, the least amount of commission, while never crossing over the pennywise pound foolish threshold so that you maintain good liquidity down the road as well.
In other words, you can have a giant block with no liquidity.
That doesn't do you any good.
And we'll show you the pros and the cons and the do's and the don'ts.
And we've been doing this for 35 years, over 10 billion in sales without a customer complaint.
And I'll make damn sure that your people aren't the first to ever complain.
Yeah, no kidding, but I mean, I hear nothing but positive feedback from you.
But let me ask you one more technical question about the sales, and then we'll get back to the topic.
Sure.
And I almost hate to bring this up, but a person came to me the other day with a true story that they had gone with one of these sort of bigger celebrity endorsed gold retailers, I'm not going to mention who.
And they got taken to the cleaners, man.
They overpaid.
They got talked into these like collectors series coins with weird ounces.
And they realized, they did the math and they realized they overpaid by like 50 or 60 percent.
Yep.
And it wasn't small.
It was like a hundred grand.
You know, they got taken to the cleaners.
And there are those companies out there, aren't there?
It's a mission of mine, Mike.
And I've been on a lot of podcasts lately and out of respect, I don't, you know, when you have the ability to have a platform like this, you know, the old saying, the pen is more powerful than the sword.
I don't take that lightly.
And I never mentioned the names as badly as I'd like to, and as badly as I'd like to debate the, the, the chicken blank owners that, that, um, that are out there destroying people's lives.
And, and they are, they're truly destroying people's lives.
And I'm gonna tell you what, probably what the people bought, but before I do real quick, you know, I got a friend here in my community that I play golf with, and he worked for Stratton Oakmont, which is Jordan Belfort's company, which is the Wolf of Wall Street.
I said, you did?
He said, yeah.
I said, did you get in trouble?
He said, no.
The minute I found out what they were all about, I left.
We talked more and more about it.
He said, you know what's really interesting?
All the guys that were there who left at the same time, all of them just about went and started their own shop, the exact same mirror image of what Jordan Belfort was doing, just pillaging people.
And I think about it, that's the same model that we see in this industry.
And I often wonder to guys that are being asked to promote and being paid, one of the guys that was asked to promote, I won't mention his name, he's a friend of mine, was offered $40,000 a month to promote for one of these companies.
Yeah, they get really fat commissions because of all the markup.
And I don't think they know.
I don't think the endorsers know.
But I have talked about this on podcasts, and I get people sending me their statements.
And in every case, it goes something like this.
Either proof coins, but more likely quarter-ounce gold coins that are sold between $900 and $1,200 each, and silver coins between one, one and a half, and two ounces between $60 and $150 each.
What?
Every single one of these companies, every one of them, and they destroy people's lives.
I look at these statements, I'm like, oh my goodness, you've lost 60% of your money in a year, and the price of gold and silver have gone parabolic.
So we have figured out a way to make people whole.
And if any of you out there are listening to this and you have been taken by one of these companies, call us, say, Send us an email at infomilesfranklin.com.
You heard me on this show, and you need to talk about this, and we will tell you what to say to these companies, and we have had pretty much a 100% success rate in getting people whole.
What these people are doing is flat-out criminal, and this is what happens when you buy metals in a non-regulated industry, And you think that just because someone with a polished background is promoting a company that it's legit, if the promoters really knew, and I would venture to say they don't, what is happening, they would be horrified, they would yank their sponsorship, and they would sue for slander for even representing themselves in that light.
It's bad news, Mike, and it really truly is happening.
All over the place.
And it's a lot of these big, endorsed, promoting companies.
So yeah, if any of you out there have had this problem, reach out to us info.
Myles Franken and I have a very, very um, uh, strong inclination that will be able to help you make yourself whole and get on the other side of this.
So that's breaking news right there.
This is the first time I've heard you say this, that if someone, let me just repeat, if someone's listening, if they've been taken by one of these dishonest gold and silver retailers that is talking people into these wildly overpriced coins, uh, you have a method.
Yes.
That can help people contact that original company and, what, get their money back or get the amount of gold and silver they should have received?
That's exactly right.
So the most, with gold right now at, call it 2680, the most, and that's an all time high, 2680, the most that I would ever sell a quarter ounce gold coin for, ever, Right now, which would be the highest I've ever sold it for, 735 bucks or so, that's a quarter ounce 2024 Gold Eagle.
That would be the most I've ever sold, ever, in 34 and a half years, a quarter ounce gold coin for.
These people are all, for whatever reason they choose the quarter ounce, and I'm not sure, but they're always coins like you mentioned.
I know the mint, But I don't know the coin, and I've never heard of the coin, and that's one of the, you know, the sales pitch is, well, you know, this is a special coin, and you'll make a ton of money on it, and trust us, you don't want to buy that ordinary American Eagle stuff, and you want to buy this.
And I mean, they're being sold for $900, $1,000, $1,100, and it was bought a year or two ago, when gold was a fraction of where it is right now.
It's truly despicable, and for whatever reason, the majority, if not all, of this Nonsense.
Happens in IRAs, which means they're happening to people your mom and dad's age.
Wait, wait.
So people are turning over their retirement.
Yes.
They've worked their whole lives for this retirement money.
It's so gross, dude.
They're turning it over.
It's so gross.
It's awful.
And these guys are making $40,000 a month in commissions.
Andy, I'll share this with you.
I think I might have mentioned this publicly before, but I don't think I've ever shared this with you.
And it was a while ago, maybe two years ago, I was contacted by one of these companies and they offered me, I think they offered me $50,000 a month.
Yeah.
To promote them.
It might have been more.
I could tell you who it is.
I'm not going to do it.
I know for a fact I can tell you who it is.
And it's the same.
It's the same deal.
And you'd be a hell of a spokesman.
I mean, you're the perfect person.
But I wouldn't do that.
People trust.
And if they get someone like you who already has trust established and people don't even look under the hood.
And that's what happens to these poor folks.
The difference is you would know better.
Most of the people that they're going after, they don't know better that these companies are doing things in less than above board manner.
That's why my word means something.
That's why my reputation has values because I say no to those assholes out there that want to take advantage.
They want to pay me to take advantage of my own viewers.
Of course, and that doesn't surprise me at all.
You'd be the first person that someone like them would call to try to get in their stable of promoters, because you have such a loyal following.
Absolutely.
All right, Andy, and then for the record, just so that people don't accuse us of being hypocrites, have I ever, have I ever asked you to pay me a dime?
Never.
Never, and nor have we ever had any type of relationship in this respect at all, on either side, no.
And that's why I'm always so honored to come on this show, and why I often cite your work publicly, because there are very few people who have the pedigree that you do, the understanding that you do, the platform that you do, and the reputation that you do.
And that's why I don't ask, and you don't, and you never mention it.
It's just, it's mutual respect and something that means an awful lot to me.
Just to be here with you is enough for me.
From day one, the first time that I saw you doing an interview, and I think I saw you first on Liberty and Finance, by the way.
I want to give those guys credit.
Good shout-out to those guys.
Yes.
Excellent show.
I saw you there, and I've been around in alternative media for two and a half decades, right?
And I said, my goodness, this guy Andy, he gets it.
He knows what he's talking about.
He's the CEO of Miles Franklin.
Like, we've got to reach out to Andy, so I did, and we had you on, and of course you blew everybody away.
And since then, I don't know how many interviews we've done, but you have been so far ahead of the mainstream, right?
And you've taken heat for it.
People called you freaking crazy, you know, three years ago.
Now they're not laughing.
Now those people are freaking out.
They're crapping themselves over what's happening.
Thank you for saying that, Mike.
But you know what?
I'm freaking out over it, too.
You know, I said these things publicly when no one else thought it was relevant.
And the fact that things are coming true and the fact that it's accelerating is frightening.
And it should be frightening to all of us.
All of us who love the status quo.
Well, not even want to go that far, but to say the privilege that we've enjoyed as being the world reserve currency and the center of free trade and this wonderful democracy, which seems to be slipping away in many respects.
It's frightening, but I thank you.
Look, the bottom line is this.
I'd rather know what's coming and have an opportunity to get out of the way of it.
Like my buddy across the street, who's the top 40 money managers in the country, he'll get run over by it.
He always says to me, you know, when the market corrects, I just double down and buy more.
It always works.
It always has worked.
Until it doesn't.
Until it doesn't.
Yeah.
Right.
But that's where we're headed.
The broken clock is right twice a day.
So let's get back to the focus here.
Now you just mentioned there's going to be a correction of the GDP numbers.
Now this administration, as you know, is completely full of bunk all the time.
They lie in the reports and then they go back and retroactively correct everything.
The jobs numbers, the inflation numbers, and now the GDP numbers.
What's GDP going to be corrected to now?
I don't know the exact number, but it's going to be revised downward substantially.
Again, all of the admissions, all of the grandstanding of great economies, strong unemployment numbers, low inflation numbers, and amazing GDP all quietly get revised.
I don't know the exact number, but they said it would be shockingly lower than had been reported.
And this is the crime of it all.
You know, everything that they have touted as being fantastic is actually a lie, and we don't find out until far after, and done so in a manner that no one even notices it, unless you're one of us geeks who pay attention.
So I guess we'll see, but maybe that's why gold keeps going higher, because the people who understand the truth behind it are using every opportunity to continue to de-dollarize To continue to add gold, because it's outperformed the 10-year Treasury by a factor of 2 to 1 over the last 25 years, quietly doing so with no counterparty risk.
And the weaponization of the Treasury market has accentuated enough to where You've got to be out of your mind to hold any duration treasuries of the U.S.
government, and that's why when Powell lowered rates the other day, the back end of the market sold off and rates went up.
That's the rest of the world saying, hey, listen, we need some more return.
If we're going to take your treasuries, if you're going to continue to inflate to the tune of $100,000 of debt per second, 24-7, that's something that You get to a point where the rest of the world says, we've had enough of your debt.
You're broke.
You're insolvent.
You're hypocritical.
And you continue to eviscerate the value of the dollar and weaponize the treasury.
That's not enough return for us to want to hold your debt for 10 years, let alone 30.
You better start cranking up the interest on the back end.
And that's the market controlling that, not the Fed.
So interesting times.
And I want to ask you about the rise in gold.
And I believe gold is up something like 30 percent this year or close to it.
Yeah, it's substantially rising, but that's in dollars and dollars are losing value.
So, you know, gold is just kind of, you know, holding the line on preserving assets.
Gold is wealth.
Dollars, you know what I call?
I call dollars shadow money, and I call gold God's money.
It's great.
I agree.
I was actually doing a sermon on this.
You know, gold is obviously mentioned in the Bible.
Did you know it's mentioned in the Bible over 400 times?
I did.
Someone sent me that recently.
Yeah, and in the Bible, gold is mentioned in two contexts.
Number one is as an asset, something of value, something that the three wise men gave as a gift at the birth of Jesus, gold, myrrh, and frankincense.
But the other context of gold is when people, especially evil kings, they want to make gold statues of themselves and demand that people worship them.
So that's the worship of money symbolized by golden statues and then people worshiping those statues instead of God.
I think the best combination is we must give blessing to God and use God's money to preserve our future.
But we don't worship the gold, but we do stack it.
Look, we had 180 years of a gold standard in a country that worshipped God, and embraced religion, and had it integrated into society, even into schools.
And for 180 years, we had the greatest prosperity the world has ever seen, and zero inflation, and God shone his light upon this country.
And now we move away from God, and we move away from gold, and you can see what's happening.
Everything is unraveling.
Could it be a coincidence?
I don't know.
It bothers the heck out of me, and I think these are the foundations of the country that made us special.
And I think, you know, if you believe spiritually in these things, there is no question that a country that would embrace God and use gold not to become wealthy, but because it was wealth, backing a system Would be shown favorable.
Would be would be looked upon favorably and I think there's a lot to think about that.
Maybe that the.
The move away from both God and gold in that respect is part of the problem that we are where we are.
I'd like to show you just an interesting example.
Money creation in this country has averaged 7% per year for the last decade, if you smooth that out.
And the law of 70 seconds, Mike, says you take the interest rate and divide it into 72.
It tells you how long before your principal doubles, or in this case, if you are experiencing 7% money creation, which is inflation, right?
You're inflating the money supply.
It's not the CPI, it's not the prices, it's the inflating of the money supply that creates inflation.
The Cantillon effect says it takes a little bit of time for the money to work its way out into the system to create price inflation.
At 7% money creation per year, that's 7% inflation per year, and it's probably higher than that now.
Yes.
But over 10 years, 7% inflation on average means at 10.2 years, the currency would have been cut in half.
Now, that was almost to the day that Goldman Sachs analysts in 2012 or 10 years ago, yeah, well, where are we?
So 2015, it was 2015 he said, well, let's just face it, gold's a pet rock.
It was in the Wall Street Journal.
In that period of time where the law of 70 seconds at 7% money creation would say 7 into 72 is 10.2 years.
2015 our currency was worth double what it is today in terms of purchasing power.
What was gold that day?
1200 bucks.
What's it today?
Just over double.
It's doubled plus a little bit at 26 and change as the dollar has been cut in half.
Now did gold make you rich?
Or did gold maintain your level of purchasing power?
And I could go back to right here with a $20 gold coin and a $20 certificate.
If Grandpa left you 500 of these and 500 of these, two boxes, $10,000 of each, and a $20 gold coin in 1900 would have bought you a suit and an overcoat and a hat and shoes.
Same thing with the $20 gold certificate.
Well, those $20 bills, you have 10 grand when you open that box.
That's a lot of money.
But that $20 bill won't even buy you the shoelaces and a tie for your shoes and your outfit.
But this $20 gold coin, which is an ounce of gold, Still buy a pretty darn nice outfit.
The point of it is that gold is not something you own to become wealthy.
It is wealth, and it will retain its purchasing power throughout all of time.
And that's a good way to look at it.
Let me jump in there about over time.
This is really critical because gold is mentioned in Genesis, the first book of the Bible.
And, you know, different historians date Genesis to, I don't know the exact answer, 4,000 years ago, maybe more, 5,000 years ago.
Gold, you'll notice that in the Bible, the dollar is never mentioned, the euro is never mentioned, the yen is never mentioned.
And it's not just that those didn't exist, obviously, in that time, but there's no other currency other than, I guess, the shekel.
You know, mentioned in the Bible.
And where is, you know, the shekel today?
Well, that's not the world reserve currency, but gold still is.
In other words, gold has outlasted every form of shadow money, which is mankind's currency.
Mankind's currency does not hold value because man does not have values of God.
I mean, it's almost poetic, but that's what needs to be stated.
It's so true.
It's completely true.
And that's why you go back for 5,000 years.
And through everything, you know, two world wars, hyperinflation in Germany, the Great Depression, every pandemic, everything.
The denarius was also mentioned in the bylaw.
I do want to bring that in.
So the Roman currency was mentioned.
Where's the denarius today?
Sorry to interrupt.
No, that's OK.
You could argue it's the exact same thing with the dollar.
They expanded so far, their outreach became so far to maintain their empire.
They had to.
And this is why, if you look at like, here's a Morgan silver dollar.
And I don't know if you can see it.
You see the ridges there?
Yeah.
All of the silver coins have ridges on them.
This is because in the Roman times, they would trim around the edges, make the coins a little bit smaller to pay their warriors all around their empire until the whole thing collapsed.
And that's their form of inflation.
That would be called ancient shrinkflation.
Yes!
But that's... The coins are getting smaller!
The more things change, Mike, the more they stay the same and go back thousands of years and that's what you find.
It's incredible.
So let me just give out your website again, milesfranklin.com, but where people need to reach you if they want gold and silver from you is info at milesfranklin.com.
That is correct.
Info at milesfranklin.com.

I just bought this.
But, uh, Andy Shackman, uh, is officially supporting the program by offering to match your purchase price as a donation to, uh, Brighton University so that we can produce more docuseries.
That's again, very generous.
Thank you for that, that offer.
Where is gold?
Well, I want to ask where it's going from here, but I'm not claiming that you have a crystal ball or anything, but I want to bring in the fact that there's, you know, Russia just updated its nuclear posture policy, saying it can retaliate against drone attacks using nuclear weapons.
Israel is very aggressively talking about a ground invasion into Lebanon, which has implications for oil prices and regional conflict.
How do these regional conflicts, in your view, factor into where gold is going?
No, they have a huge impact on it.
I mean, anyone would be crazy to think otherwise, because there's a high probability that the U.S.
gets dragged into it, the West gets dragged into it.
And not only that, I mean, when you disrupt the, you know, the Straits of Hormuz and the Red Sea and the flow of oil, it's going to impact everything.
You know, there are unintended consequences all over the place, but whether it be the Ukraine or whether it be the Middle East, these are powder kegs waiting to happen that could very quickly spiral out of control and drag other parties into the fray.
You know, you look at Iran as an example, and now the aggression between Hezbollah and Israel, Hezbollah being an Iranian-backed proxy, You know, Iran just joined the BRICS.
They joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which is the largest regional military organization in the world and is supported by, of course, China and Russia as well.
So, you know, what does it mean?
I don't know, but I think for anyone to think that it isn't consequential is lying to themselves, especially as it pertains to the cost of energy, which could very quickly be turned upside down.
Yeah, the cost of energy, of course, You know, cheap energy creates abundant productivity and cheaper food.
Higher cost energy leads to food inflation and industrial collapse.
And we're seeing industrial collapse across Germany, France, Spain, the UK.
Did you know, well I'm sure you know, in Germany a Volkswagen has just said they're going to lay off 30,000 people.
We've seen the shutdown of BASF, the chemical conglomerate, in Germany, which was a key part of the European In industry, you know, providing raw materials for industry everywhere.
Energy is relatively cheap right now.
Like, what is oil today?
Do you recall?
$70 a barrel.
Okay, that's what I thought.
You know, I was just talking with Gerald Salenti, and he predicted it'll be at $130 a barrel very soon, depending on events, mostly related to war.
Doesn't gold usually Correlate with oil in terms of price increases?
Yes, and I think it'll have a greater correlation moving forward, a much greater correlation because you look at the Saudis as an example, who just recently secretly bought 160 tons of gold.
And I say secretly because the mistake they made was by not reporting it to the IMF and the Swiss import-export numbers flagged it.
A lot of these institutions will use proxy banks, commercial banks, on behalf of the central bank to To remain anonymous.
In the case of China, they'll have the People's Liberation Army do it instead of the PBOC to remain anonymous, to not report it, to mask how much they are buying.
But let's look at Saudi Arabia as an example.
And what's really interesting, I prepared this for a presentation I did a few nights ago, less than a week ago.
And you'll see how fast it's changed.
Now, Saudi Arabia, as we all know, part of the petrodollar deal is we'll sell oil in dollars and we'll take the proceeds and put them into treasuries.
And we've talked on your show ad nauseum about, at least you and I have together, about how the treasury market has been weaponized and it's foolish to hold treasuries that, of course, were embarking upon a massive inflation with a trillion dollars every 90 days, 100,000 a second.
Interest rates spiked up 500 basis points, eviscerating those that were already on their balance sheet.
And if you don't align any logically, we'll take it from you, maybe even give it to the country.
You're in a war again.
Okay, forget the treasuries.
And how about the dollars?
Well, same thing.
The dollar is being inflated away.
We just talked about a 7% annual money creation.
And inflation, according to right now, John Williams of Shadow Stats, north of 10 or 11%.
So all of that, okay.
So, a few days ago I thought to myself, well, gold at the time was $25.90, and oil $70 a barrel, where it still is today.
And at $25.90, For an ounce of gold, that would buy you 37 barrels of oil.
A week later, we have gold at $26.72.
So it's up almost $100 an ounce, just under, and that oil is the same price.
So now it's 38 barrels of oil.
that you would get for that one ounce of gold.
If it were the other way around, the Saudis were thinking, geez, that's amazing compared to the dollar that's losing value.
I just gained a whole bunch of value.
I just gained 5% in a week.
But look at it this way.
The example that I was using was a woman's purse that could hold 20 pounds.
And I got these numbers from my friend, John Little, and they were fascinating to me.
A woman's purse with an extra strong strap that could hold 20 pounds of gold is 290 ounces of gold.
A week ago, that's 10,730 barrels of oil, 290 ounces of gold.
of gold a week ago that bought you 10 730 barrels of oil 290 ounces of gold and today just a week later if we do the math right now uh and we take 290 um times 16 2672 is divide that by 70 a barrel
And you get 11,069 barrels of oil instead of 10,730 in a week.
Now, if you're Saudi Arabia, what the heck do you want?
Do you want dollars that can be inflated, confiscated, weaponized?
Or do you want gold, which has no counterparty liability, that continues to move higher, that is going to be pegged to a new system that was reclassified the world's only tier one asset, other than US dollars and treasuries, and shows this kind of potential, Day after day lately, I think the handwriting is on the wall and we are moving away from a period of dollar-based acceptance for energy into something like gold.
And that to me is why we see gold continuing to march higher because the big money around the world says I don't want dollars or treasuries anymore for our stuff.
Let's get something real, more importantly, that those people across the globe cannot take from us if we don't align ideologically.
I think it's a big deal.
It's huge, and also, of course, as you know, China is allowing treasuries to expire, and they're rolling that into gold instead of buying more treasuries.
And that's the smart way to do it, because they're smart.
Instead of going like this, Instead, they'll just quietly let it roll off.
Just let it roll off.
Don't dump it.
Let it roll off.
Take the excess and buy treasures.
If you dump it, you cut off your nose to spite your face.
You alert the world.
You're on the cover of the newspaper.
You're on the evening news.
Why are they doing this?
Instead, they do things methodically.
China has patience.
Culturally, the Chinese culture has patience and they have very long memories and a very long term vision about what they wish to accomplish.
But I also want to mention Saudi Arabia, you know, you said 160 tons.
I just want to emphasize tons.
If you are buying as a nation, you're buying tons of gold or hundreds of tons of gold.
Think about it.
You know, a ton of gold probably ships on a on a A pallet, I suppose.
So if you are moving with a forklift hundreds of pallets of gold, that's a serious amount of gold.
Saudi Arabia is taking this issue seriously and the reason you and I both know is because the upcoming BRICS settlement currency with what we believe will be the unit digital representation, the unit is rumored to be 40% backed by gold.
So doesn't that mean that what Saudi Arabia knows and what China knows is that the more gold Correct.
But the interesting thing about it, Mike, is that if you look at the white paper, and I've talked about this a lot, I just did a simple Google search, and let me pull them up here.
units digitally that they can use for international settlement, correct?
Correct.
But the interesting thing about it, Mike, is that if you look at the white paper, and I've talked about this a lot, I just did a simple Google search, and let me pull them up here.
I don't remember if we talked about this or not last time, but this is a list of countries over the last year and a half that have brought their gold back from the Bank of England and the New York Fed.
Oh, wow!
Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Argentina, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Belgium, Egypt, Senegal, Romania, Nigeria, Poland, Ghana, India.
India is an interesting one.
They bought one and a half times the amount of gold they bought all of last year, just in the first four months of this year.
And when I'm done with this, I'll tell you about their silver.
Plus, they brought home 100 metric tons of gold they held at the Bank of England since 1991.
They brought that home and all the gold they bought along with Turkey, France, Serbia, Venezuela, Algeria, Cameroon, South Africa, Czechoslovakia, and I could keep on going.
Now, the conventional wisdom is, well, that's because of the weaponization.
People are afraid, like Venezuela asked the Bank of England, can we have my gold back?
Nah, no, you can't.
And so they're thinking, geez, I don't want the West holding it.
The West always did hold it, Mike, because the Bank of England gave direct access to the LBMA with the Western rule of law and the Western jurisdictions, safety, et cetera, and the New York to the COMEX.
That's over now.
It's over.
You can't trust the West.
You have counterparty risk.
That's true.
That's true.
But if you read the white paper, here's the interesting thing, to your point on the unit, the white paper of the unit says, That the gold and the 60% BRX plus currencies with no more than 30% weighted in any one currency that comprise that 60% Here's the key.
Will be held within the borders of the countries that possess it.
They will mint their own tokens.
The gold and the currencies moved into an escrow account that will be independently and continuously audited, but within their own borders.
So they don't have to send their gold.
Like here, everyone has to send their gold to the US or to England.
Now everyone holds their own and independently audit with strict penalties for deviation from the protocol.
But now, you don't have to send it to Beijing or to Moscow or Dubai.
You hold it yourself, and if you want to be considered legit, you better do it the right way because it's going to be continuously audited.
It is the perfect plan.
You don't have to trust anyone.
It is the perfect plan.
The system itself inspires trust.
And what I love about that plan, Andy, and I'd love you to talk more about BRICS because there's a big meeting, as you know, at the end of next month, October.
But what I love about the BRICS concept, and this is what the Western world desperately needs if they had any vision, is that no country can counterfeit it.
That's right.
That right there makes it valuable.
Well, and see, it's not a BRICS currency.
And this is where everyone kind of missed it, myself included.
You know, Sergei Glazyev said there would be a BRICS currency pegged to a basket of commodities and currencies.
That's why I've said that for four years.
Well, the meeting that was just a few weeks ago that coincided with the G7 meeting where the Saudi royal crown prince was invited to Italy, he said, I'm busy.
But I'm going to send my delegates to the BRICS meeting, where we find out 59 countries have formally applied.
And Delma Rousseff, the former president of Brazil, who is now the head of the BRICS New Development Bank, said, we've agreed in principle, in meetings with Sergei Glazyev, who is the Eurasian Economic Union financial minister, and Putin, to the new unit settlement token that will be backed by gold.
40% instead of a basket of commodities, it's gold, which is the only other Tier 1 reserve asset.
The interesting thing about it is that if you go back to 2017, when all of these central banks all of a sudden started to bring their gold back from the New York Fed and started buying it before it was reclassified Tier 1 by the Bank of International Settlements, well, you look at all these countries bringing their gold back now, guess who's also behind Project Enbridge?
It's the Bank of International Settlements, on top of Saudi Arabia being now the fifth country to fully integrate and apply and become a full member to Project Enbridge, which the U.S.
dollar is not compatible with.
And she said, Delma said, this will all trade over Project Enbridge.
So the point of it is, is that each country will trade their central bank digital currencies over Enbridge.
So it'll be the digital yuan and the digital rupee and the digital ruble.
But you know, you're China and I'm Russian.
Listen, Mike, I have a little bit too much in the way of digital yuan.
I appreciate all the business we've done for this order for our oil.
We would really like it if you if you pay in the unit.
Sure, no problem.
And by the way, we're going to take possession of that gold, too, because that is an option.
So now the unit will also trade over Enbridge.
But the point is, each country will have a very strong interest in maintaining the integrity of their own monetary system because they're trading their own local currencies with the ability to to settle if they want for energy or commodities or whatever it is in the unit.
And so it's not one currency.
It's a settlement currency that everyone has to maintain their own ecosystem to be part of.
It's a settlement currency.
I'm really glad you mentioned that.
I want to emphasize, and correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that backing the unit is 40% gold, 60% currencies.
That also means then the unit can be traded in for gold plus currency.
That's right.
And it is redeemable.
100% redeemable.
And that's why the auditing is important and the escrow account is important.
But the best part about it is that gold doesn't have to be trusted to anybody else like it is now in England where Venezuela says, can we have our gold back?
We don't like the way you do your things in your country.
So now everyone holds their own gold and it's a system that inspires confidence and trust.
Let me add something else about the redeeming of the unit because I've been thinking about this mechanism and the fact that this structure eliminates a counterparty risk.
Now let's say that I'm China and I take a bunch of gold, I stick it in a vault.
and a bunch of currencies, and I put it in escrow, and that's audited and inspected, and that allows the spontaneous creation of units within this BRICS system.
And then I engage in a lot of settlement trades with other countries, and then I end up with extra units, and I want to redeem those units for gold.
In China, China, as I understand it, again, correct me if I'm wrong, the units would then be algorithmically destroyed, and China would be able to free up a portion of gold and currency from its vaults and from escrow. and China would be able to free up a portion The currency and gold would be released, but it's the gold and currency that it's already sitting on.
It's just vaulted and escrowed.
In other words, China doesn't have to get gold from anybody else.
They just tap into the gold they already set aside as the units are algorithmically destroyed.
Does that sound right?
That's right, and do you think there's any coincidence that the central banks of the world are buying gold at a level the world has never seen?
And who reclassified at Tier 1?
Oh yeah, it's the BIS.
And the BIS was behind reclassifying it as Tier 1, but for two and a half years before they announced it, all of the banks, the Dutch National Bank, the Bundesbank, started, the Bank of Hungary, Turkey, Austria, Poland, the Czech National Bank, they all repatriated their gold and then went on a buying spree where the following year in 2018, 2017 is when they started bringing it home.
2018, they buy more gold as a group than they did in the 60 years previously combined.
They doubled that number in 2019, and then somehow, mysteriously, coincidentally, the BIS says, by the way, gold's now tier one.
Like, they didn't tell them.
Well, look at the 30-plus banks that have all brought their gold home, and have been buying at a level no one's ever seen over the last two years, and now the BIS, coincidentally, is standing behind Project Enbridge, which is now going to be the settlement or the platform to trade cross-border or to settle in energy on the new unit, which Saudi Arabia is a full participant in, which is not compatible with US dollars.
dollars, and the BIS just happens to be behind it.
The BIS said to all these countries, get your gold home, here's the plan.
They talk, and this is one big good old boys club, and they all talk amongst themselves, and get your gold home, start buying it, bring it home if you want to be part of what's coming next.
So Andy, I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is critical, what you just said is critical.
As Americans, most people watching this are Americans, but we have an international audience, We will probably not be, you know, allowed to purchase bricks, units or tokens or settlement, anything.
However, when we purchase gold, That is the closest proxy to participation in the BRICS system because the BRICS system is backed 40% by gold.
In other words, what I'm saying to people is if you see that BRICS is going to be the settlement financial system for the industrial world and the energy world, you know, Russia, and you can't buy BRICS and you want to get out of the dollar, the answer is buy gold.
Yeah.
It's right there.
Yep.
And you're going to see the West try to do something to mirror it.
Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the IMF, said a CBDC not pegged to something is fiat.
Earlier in that year, last year, they wrote a report that is titled Gold as an International Reserve Currency, a Barbarous Relic No More?
You're right.
There's something called Project Agora.
Project Agora would be the West's answer to Enbridge, and it would probably be compatible with Enbridge, but my guess would be backed by gold.
It'll be something that they would attempt, probably, to find a way to trade with the BRICS nations if they know what's good for them.
But either way, we are moving to a digital system that is pegged to gold.
And it's just there are too many crumbs all over the place that are pointing to it.
And Zoltan Pozar was right when he said, this is Bretton Woods 3.
Bretton Woods 1, when we took over for the pound sterling.
Bretton Woods 2, when we were the petrodollar, which ended a month ago, when Saudi said, yeah, we'll still take dollars, but not exclusively.
Bretton Woods 3 is now about commodities and transparency.
And that's blockchain and gold marrying one another to inspire confidence.
Because when you disrespect the punch bowl, however you do that, will you spike it, however you do as often as you've been doing it?
We have.
If you don't get rid of the punch bowl altogether and get a new one, a fresh one, one that inspires confidence, no one will ever drink that punch ever again.
And that's why you have to have something behind it rather than the politician's ability to destroy it, something like gold.
And instead of making it fully redeemable for you and I, now the governments can redeem it, but you and I, we can have the confidence because we see it on a On an open ledger blockchain distributed ledger for people to see the legitimacy of it and have it continuously and independently audited.
So I think that is where we are going.
It's the only way that the system works without making it completely and totally redeemable.
And Gaul from France proved convertible currencies convert.
So I don't think that's what they want to do.
I was going to say this is history unfolding and this is really a revolution.
in money and currency and trade and settlements, because before now, every world reserve currency throughout the last six centuries that I can think of was always able to be counterfeited by one government.
The government that was in charge of that today, it's the U.S. Empire.
Before us, it was the British Empire, Look where the British Empire is now.
It's in a state of collapse.
Let's be honest.
Even militarily.
Do you realize that the entire military, every soldier in the British Army, if you put them all together, they wouldn't fill a football stadium?
You realize that?
That's unreal.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
And yet they're the biggest buyer of our treasuries these days.
So one broke country buying the debt of an even more broke country.
That's a good one.
Yeah, exactly.
The world, at least the modern world, has never seen a settlement system that could not be counterfeited.
Bitcoin is one such system.
It can't be counterfeited.
But, you know, Bitcoin is not going to be directly embraced by all these countries.
They're going to do their own thing, borrowing properties from Bitcoin, such as a distributed ledger that is permissioned, not permissionless.
But I want to bring it back to the practical thing here.
For people who are watching this and they want to know what to do, I'll tell you.
Watch this docuseries, it's called Financial Survival.
Andy Sheckman is featured in it.
It's at brightyou.com.
You can register there, you can watch it for free, or you can optionally purchase it like we mentioned earlier, and Andy has graciously agreed to match your purchase price to help support the Brighton University documentary series, but I can tell you That series, when you watch the series, you're going to want to buy gold.
And if you want to get gold right now, just email info at milesfranklin.com or go to milesfranklin.com website here of Andy Schekman.
And tell us again, Andy, when people email you, what do they get?
Well, first of all, they get any questions that they have answered.
You can put a phone number down if you want to be contacted or if you just want our price list, which I promise you will be as good or better than anyone in the country.
99% of them anyway, if not more.
There's no obligation for that.
Just ask us for the price list and just let us know where you came from so that we can keep track of that.
And you saw me on this show, on Mike's show, and we are more than happy to send that out.
Again, no obligation at all.
Only contact you if you ask to be contacted.
You must have to, I mean, obviously you're updating that at least once a day.
Do you sometimes have to update that more than once a day?
We do.
And we do.
And I have many reasons why I don't want to publish it.
But suffice it to say, yes, it's continually updated.
And we do our best to maintain that.
Sometimes there's a little bit of a delay.
When you're talking to us, we're always able to make sure that you're getting the best price and the best service.
And I think where we're going, Mike, and I'm not trying to be sensational or dramatic, I think relationships will be important.
And my business was founded on relationships, my relationship with guys like you, with our mutual friend Chris, or with all the people that I've known in 30 years, 34 years of doing this.
To me, I would say that's the most rewarding and important part.
And I think it's something that's kind of been By the wayside, if you will, in a digital world where everything is about big box stores and emails and texts and nothing is a relationship.
To me, where we're going, relationship will be very important and I don't think you've ever realized how important it is until there's a problem.
So, yes, that is how we do things, but we do update it very often.
And if, you know, you find that list and you find someone or something far more attractive, call us.
We'll do the best we can to make it right and to earn your trust in your business.
I can promise you that.
And we've never had a customer complaint, ever, in going on 35 years, which is the most important thing to me.
So we're going to be really fair, but we're going to treat you the way that you would expect to be treated, the way you would expect us to treat anyone listening to this show.
I want to ask you, now I know you left the state of Tim Walz before he completely destroyed it, which he's in the process of doing, but aren't you in Florida?
Yeah, I live in Delray Beach, Florida.
So, okay, so the hurricane that's coming is not hitting your side of the state?
No, I mean, it's been really windy today.
It hasn't really rained.
Fortunately, it's missing this side of the state, as the last three of them have, and all been on the Gulf.
Yeah.
So we'll get, you know, they'll spawn off some tornadoes.
In fact, the The phone alarm went off at about 6.30 this morning and I jumped out of bed and there was a tornado.
Funny thing was, it said take shelter immediately and go to your basement.
I'm thinking, I don't think they have basements here.
I don't have one.
It'd be under the water table.
But anyways, yeah, we've been lucky.
Thanks for asking.
We'll probably miss this one.
Maybe have some shrubs in the front yard that need to be picked up.
But other than that, I think we'll be okay.
All right.
Well, if anything, though, the hurricane is a reminder of preparedness.
And, you know, there's food and medicine preparedness, but there's also financial preparedness, because I would say that hurricane is a very strong metaphor for what's coming financially.
We're living in a fake shadow economy with fake shadow stats, to borrow from John Williams' website name there.
All the numbers were given by the government are deliberately falsified and then retroactively corrected.
But what's real?
Gold and silver are real, as has been proven for thousands of years.
So are you, Mike.
You're real.
And I appreciate being here with you more than you know.
And that's the highest compliment I can give you, that you're real.
In a world where not everyone is real and authentic, you are.
And I think your listeners know that.
And that's why I'm always so honored when your staff reaches out to me, or you do, and says, come on.
I'm like, I'm there.
Well, I'm honored to have you on today, Andy.
So we'll pray for your safety and all of your friends there in the state of Florida.
You probably have some things you need to get to there with the approaching storm.
But thank you so much for joining me today.
We really appreciate your time.
You got it, brother.
I look forward to picking up where we left off.
Remember, you got three plus weeks until the meeting in Kazan.
And a couple weeks after that, the election.
That's five weeks of craziness.
Wow.
And I'm here anytime if you want to just jump in if there's anything to talk about.
But either way, thanks for having me and I look forward to chatting with you again real soon.
I hope you and everyone else out there stays well.
All right.
Thank you, Andy.
God bless you.
Take care.
See you, brother.
Alright folks, there you go, Andy Shachman.
What an incredible man.
I mean, I've just come to know and respect him so much for what he's doing, and he's helping so many people.
And now he's even offered to help support our docuseries.
So, by the way, if you go there, go to brightyou.com, register there, it's free to watch.
If you choose to purchase it, you'll be able to download the entire series.
And we've got numerous experts speaking there about financial survival and preparedness.
It's more than just gold and silver.
But a lot of the talk does include gold and silver.
And if you purchase it, Andy Sheckman has offered to match your purchase price as a donation to the Brighton University platforms.
So we deeply appreciate that.
That will help us create more documentaries on other topics.
So folks, it is coming down to the wire.
If you want to get into real assets, real money, real wealth, Gold and silver is where to go.
I strongly advise you, although I'm not your financial advisor, as a disclaimer, I can't tell you what to do with your money.
You do your own research.
Talk to your own experts.
Make your own decisions.
But whatever you do, I strongly encourage you, do it before the election.
Because after the election, We don't know what's going to pop off in this country.
Frankly, I would say do it before October 7th, because that anniversary date could see a lot of disruptions in this country as well, according to intel sources that I've also interviewed.
It's time for all of us to get moving.
It's kind of like that window of opportunity is rapidly closing.
So thank you for all your support.
Again, brightyou.com is the website to go to to sign up for this financial survival series, which begins streaming on October 12th.
Until then, everybody take care.
I'm Mike Adams of brighteon.com.
As you know, we are headed into some very dangerous times right now.
The election coming up, you're seeing escalation of war around the world, you're seeing more violence in America, you're seeing war by these gangs like Tren de Aragua.
Well, the state of Texas has just declared war on this foreign terrorist organization that has been taking over buildings in America.
We've also got now a .5 rate cut by the Central Bank, the Federal Reserve.
This is going to cause more inflation.
It's going to cause more cheap money to flood into the system.
You're going to see more food inflation and you're going to see devaluation of the dollar rapidly over the next several months, especially as the government keeps printing trillions of dollars.
Right now is the best time to trade dollars for things that will hold value and things that can help you prepare for what's coming.

Now, for the fact that the dollar is going to continue to erode in its value, we've got gold and silver options for you that really make a difference.
This is a big deal.
Let me show you a couple of things.
If you go to verifiedgoldbacks.com, you can see that we have lab-tested goldbacks, or a link to the goldback company there, and we share all the lab-testing reports right there.
These have physical gold in them.
The 50 has 51 thousandths of an ounce of gold, the 1 has 1 one thousandth, and this is the testing.
We used a kiln, we melted it down, we dissolved it, we did ICPMS mass spec testing, and also acid stone testing, and we verified the mass and the purity, everything.
We show you all the results on this website.
Here I've got, I've been collecting this, so I've got some stacks of goldbacks right here.
See, this is nice to have in a collapse because everybody loves gold and everybody loves gold backs because it puts gold in a format that is very easy to see.
You're actually looking at the gold.
When you look at this, you're seeing the gold inside the layers of polymer.
There's a polymer laminate there that makes it very durable, but inside that is the actual physical gold.
And if you were to melt this down, you would get a thin gold foil.
Now, that's just one option for very divisible gold.
We also have this as highly divisible silver.
These are called prepper bars, and as you can see here, these pieces break away into parts, smaller parts, like each one of these is one tenth of an ounce of silver.
So right there you see the bigger chunks, those are a quarter ounce each.
The really small chunks on the bottom, those are one, I believe those are one twentieth of an ounce.
Overall, the entire bar is about two ounces, and you can get them in stacks like this.
And they are made in the USA.
They're beautiful.
They're labeled with how many grams are on each piece right there.
So you can use these for trade and barter.
And this is, of course, real physical silver with very high silver purity that's labeled.
So these are options for divisible precious metals.
You can also go to metalswithmike.com and there's my photo from like 15 years ago.
This is with the Treasure Island Company and this is where you can request to talk with them or you can just check out their real-time prices here on their website and they're very competitive.
They offer The universal mints, you know, the recognized mints, gold and silver coins, and also constitutional silver or so-called junk silver coins.
You can get those through Treasure Island.
These are all either affiliates or sponsors of our show, and we only work with them because they are trustworthy, and they have kept their word.
They provide secure, discreet, guaranteed delivery.
They do what they say they're going to do, and when we test their products, the tests always pass.
In other words, they have what they say that they have.
So the dollar is going to accelerate its decline, and if you look at gold and silver right now, Let's bring up Kitco.com.
What is gold today?
Alright, here it is.
Gold at about $2,550.
It briefly went over $2,600 and it came down shortly, but gold is trending massively higher.
It was barely over $2,000 two years ago.
February of 2022, when Russia first invaded Ukraine there, the Donbass region, gold just peaked over, I think, $2,050.
Now, it's over $2,500, and it's headed into, I mean, who knows how high gold is going to go.
It's not about speculation.
It's not about having more dollars for your gold.
It's about having more ounces of gold, because dollars are going to be history.
It'll happen over time, not instantly, but the dollar is being destroyed by money printing, hyperinflation is coming to the West, and people who have gold and silver in various formats, gold coins, silver coins, gold backs, silver bars, prepper bars, all these different formats, these are the people who are going to have assets that still count.
When the currency collapses and back to our products, healthrangerstore.com, these products are not going to get any cheaper.

Take care, everybody.
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams with Abundance.Church, and today We're taking a little bit of a detour from the current topics of cosmic impacts, and even from herbs and nutrition, to talk about gold, which is real money, or, as I call it, God's money, versus currency, printed currency, which is shadow money.
And apologies if my voice is shaky.
I'm riding in a bumpy truck as I record this, but, you know, the Word of God can be taught anywhere.
On the road is included in that.
This is the day.
I've got to bring you this.
And you know what compelled me to bring you this message?
I've been planning on this for a while, but what compelled me today was the fact that gold has reached a new Record high of $2,680.
That's the highest it's ever been in dollars since, you know, the beginning of the dollar.
And gold is mentioned over 400 times in the Bible.
It is prolifically mentioned in the Old Testament, but also the New Testament, and it's mentioned in two contexts.
And understanding these two contexts is critical to having a right relationship with gold.
And when I say relationship with gold, well, you'll understand what I mean by that.
It's critical to recognize the value of gold, as God did, and as Jesus did, and as ancient people did.
But it's also critical to recognize that it is a sin to worship gold, especially gold fashioned into idols and statues, that is, like a golden fake god.
Or, even worse, a golden statue of yourself.
Nebuchadnezzar, for example.
So, don't worship gold as a god, because it is not a god.
It is not THE god.
Gold is a creation of God.
Now let's back up.
As you know, God created the entire universe.
God created all the matter that is.
God created all the energy that is.
He created all the galaxies.
We've talked about this quite a bit.
He created the table of elements, which is based on the rules of atomic physics that God also himself created.
So the reason gold is gold is because of the atomic structure, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a specific orbital shell layer structure.
Not that there are really electrons, and we're talking about probabilistic orbital shells, you know, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and all that, but it all came from the mind of God.
So God created the rules of physics that gave rise to gold and silver and all the other elements as well.
And these elements are essentially immutable unless you engage in nuclear fusion or fission, which does happen in exploding stars or during nuclear detonation type of events.
That's not accessible to the ordinary person, obviously.
You don't have probably a fusion reactor in your basement.
You don't have a fission machine.
You don't have a super collider, you know, in your house.
So you're not going to be able to alter the atomic elements, which means gold stays gold even if you try to set fire to it.
It doesn't burn.
It just melts.
You can turn solid gold into liquid gold, but you can't turn gold into something else.
And also, as the ancient alchemists tried and learned and failed over and over again, you can't turn lead into gold, it turns out.
Otherwise, gold would have no value because there would be so much of it.
So the scarcity of gold, obviously, and its properties.
It has industrial properties.
It conducts electricity very well.
It is chemically resistant.
It's very difficult to dissolve gold or to oxidize gold, you know.
Whereas silver is much easier to oxidize.
You just leave silver out and it begins to tarnish.
That's oxidation.
Gold does not do that.
The only way to oxidize gold, really, is you have to pour nitric acid and hydrochloric acid onto it, which is what we did in our laboratory, by the way, when we were dissolving gold backs and we were testing the gold content.
And whenever I look at gold content or gold purity, I have to dissolve it in hydrochloric and nitric acid and then run it through the ICP-MS mass spec instrument.
But other than that, you can't get rid of gold.
So it is here to stay.
And this explains why gold has survived the rise and fall of hundreds of civilizations and currencies, and this is why I call gold, and also silver, God's money.
Whereas, the dollar, the euro, the yen, every currency you can name, they're all created by mankind.
As such, they are synthetic.
And they are shadow money.
Shadow money.
That's the term that you will hear me use.
Just like I've said that fake processed food created by man is shadow food.
Whereas real food that we often talk about here is food that comes from Mother Nature, which is an expression of God.
Real food contains real natural medicine.
We've talked about the grapes, the vines, resveratrol, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins.
We've talked about sulforaphane.
We've talked about the antibacterial compounds in garlic, the natural medicine found in figs, and many other foods and herbs, black cumin seed and so on, pomegranates.
We've covered that.
And we will cover a lot more here in these sermons, by the way.
We'll get back to foods here shortly.
Nevertheless, people take a lot of interest in gold right now because the dollar, shadow money, is collapsing.
People are discovering that their dollars are worth less and less each day because they're having to pay more and more of those dollars to purchase food.
Food prices have doubled or tripled since 2019.
Insurance prices have skyrocketed.
You know the drill.
If you're buying home insurance, business insurance, health insurance, car insurance, many of those policies have doubled or tripled.
And that's because the dollar is collapsing.
And the price of consumer goods continues to climb and so on.
Anyway, shadow money is collapsing.
You know this.
So gold and silver, as God's money, they tend to hold value over time.
In fact, gold is up more than 30% this year, by the way, in terms of dollars.
Does that mean gold is getting more valuable?
Not exactly.
It means dollars are getting less valuable.
So God's money is holding value while mankind's shadow money is losing value.
For this reason, It is in alignment with biblical principles to convert your dollars to gold.
And some people call this stacking gold or stockpiling gold or just investing in gold or buying gold.
This is one of the smartest things that you can do, in my opinion, although, as a disclaimer, I'm not your financial advisor and I'm not I'm not encouraging speculation in gold.
I'm saying that the risk is keeping your assets in shadow money.
Shadow money will go to zero eventually, whereas God's money will tend to hold value over time, if not even potentially increase in value.
So converting dollars to gold is a God thing.
It's getting out of Satan's monetary system, shadow money, and it's moving into God's monetary system.
And the way to do that is to trade dollars for gold.
In other words, buy gold with dollars and then hold the gold.
Now, it's wise to do that.
It is biblical to do that.
And throughout the Bible, remember I said there are over 400 mentions of gold in the Bible.
Throughout the Bible, we see gold referred to primarily as something of value.
Even the three wise men, the Magi, brought, what were the gifts?
Gold, myrrh, and frankincense.
Gold, myrrh, and frankincense.
Now, we've covered myrrh and frankincense here in these sermons, by the way, both of which are resins that were used as part of incense burning in order to purify the soul so that people could appear before God and be worthy of God's presence.
So why is gold included in that?
Because gold is a representation of...
That's why it was included.
in the monetary system.
The global economic system, when it is an expression of God and God's blessings, God's creation, God's laws, which includes the laws of physics, which includes atomic physics, gold is the best representation of the value of God's economy. gold is the best representation of the value of God's That's why it was included.
Now, frankincense, you may recall, incense, which is part of the word frankincense, Incense means light, or incendiary is kind of the same word root.
And frank means free, or in some interpretations, truth.
You know, freedom and truth.
And then incense is of the light.
So freedom and light, or truth and light, are frankincense.
Which is one of the key ingredients of the four ingredients that had to be blended into the incense that God required people to burn for spiritual purity before they entered the tabernacle.
So that's what frankincense is all about.
And then myrrh is a resin that was traditionally used by the Egyptians for the preservation of the dead in order to try to even preserve their souls for their journey.
In, you know, in Egyptian lore and mythology.
But then, Myrrh was also brought to what was thought to be, you know, the laying, the resting place of the body of Jesus after his crucifixion.
Myrrh was brought and then it was discovered, of course, that Jesus had arisen and the Myrrh was no longer necessary because, well, you know, he had transcended the physical.
But anyway, gold and myrrh and frankincense were the three gifts, and these are all indications of the importance of these messages.
Truth, light, freedom, economic freedom also in the form of gold, and then the preservation or the purity of the soul.
That's what these gifts represent.
Obviously in our society today, which is rooted in Satanism and wickedness and also greed and pompousness and all these things, worshipping gold is a sin.
Worshipping money is a sin.
So when I say your relationship with gold, If you love that gold is shiny and beautiful and you recognize the historic place of gold, that's perfectly fine.
That's awesome.
That's just being a fan of gold and recognizing that gold is God's money.
We can all be happy about gold.
And we can be happy about having more gold.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But if you pursue gold and worship gold in place of God, Then you have a problem.
And that's the other mention of gold in the Bible, is when men turn to greed and sin, Exodus chapter 32, then Moses returned to the Lord and said, Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and they have made for themselves a god of gold.
See?
So if you make a statue of gold, if you make and worship false idols out of gold or silver or wood, as is mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, then you've got a problem.
You're worshiping the wrong things.
Your focus is incorrect.
And by the way, keep in mind that if the book of Revelation is indeed accurate, God destroys all of human civilization ultimately in the end.
And nobody takes the gold with them.
So the real treasure, or the real inheritance, as it is said, the real gold is what you earn with God.
God's grace upon you that you have earned a spiritual meritocracy.
In other words, God will reward you for eternity for serving him in this world.
And none of us survive this world forever, you know?
We don't have eternal life in the 3D space.
We have eternal life after the 3D space.
This is a simulation.
In the simulation, we have gold.
Gold is physical matter that is part of the simulation.
It's an expression of the laws of physics in this simulation.
So gold serves a purpose in this simulation.
After the simulation, gold serves no purpose because you can't take it with you.
So to have the right relationship with gold is to say, how can gold help me continue to carry out the mission that God wants me to pursue?
How can gold help you?
Bring more people to Christ, for example?
Or how can gold help you stay alive for your intended life purpose here?
How can gold help you help others and perhaps bring them to Christ?
This is the key question or the key relationship with gold.
So let's say, if you are expecting an economic collapse, and you don't want to end up starving to death, And you want to help as many people as possible.
You want to keep your family safe and alive.
Gold can serve a purpose because as the dollar collapses, the shadow money system, gold can allow you to get food or to buy protection or to buy emergency medical supplies.
You can trade gold and silver for almost anything in the right economic circumstances.
So the purpose of gold is to help you carry out Your mission in alignment with God on this planet during this simulation as you live out whatever years that you've been blessed with in this simulation.
That's the only purpose of gold.
That's why you don't worship gold.
You worship God, but you allow gold to help you serve God.
Does that make sense?
So someone who says, Oh, I love gold.
I love gold.
I'd love to have more gold.
I'm like, Amen, brother.
And then if they continue, I love gold because... All right, now I'm listening.
I'm listening.
What is their because?
What are they going to say?
In their mind, or in their heart, what's their reason for having more gold?
Well, if they say, I need more gold in order to stay economically viable so that I can continue to carry out the mission that God put upon me on this planet, to stay alive, to red pill others, to help feed people who are in need to help bring emergency medicine, to help uplift people, to help defend liberty, to do these things.
And I'm like, yes, amen.
Now you get it.
That's the purpose of gold.
But if somebody says, I like gold because, and then they say something like, I like to roll around in it in my bed sheets, you know.
You want to be covered with gold everywhere!
Then, of course, I have a big question.
Your relationship with gold seems a little perverted, actually.
You think of gold as kind of monetary pornography or something.
That's a very unhealthy relationship with gold.
You are worshipping gold for the wrong reasons.
Or some people say, I want to have gold so I can flash it and show it off to other people.
I want to show people how wealthy I am.
I want to have gold in my teeth.
I want to have, by the way, I have gold in my teeth, but not my front teeth.
I took out all the mercury in my mouth years ago and I replaced it with gold fillings.
So I have gold, but not for show.
You wouldn't even know it if I didn't tell you.
Can you imagine me with a giant golden front tooth, you know, doing podcasts?
Like a rap star or something.
But some people want to flash gold to impress others.
That, again, is the wrong use of gold.
That is gold for arrogance.
That is gold for pompousness.
That is gold for social standing.
And that is not the purpose of gold.
So your relationship with gold demonstrates your spirit.
See?
And people can see it.
If you're collecting gold and flashing it around, I mean, number one, you're probably going to get robbed when the collapse comes, so that's not a good idea.
If your purpose of gold is to just be selfish and not to help anybody else, you're not going to get very far.
But if you collect a lot of gold and you keep it, you know, concealed, You're not bragging about it, but you're stockpiling it because it's God's money, and then your behavior with that gold is in alignment with God, then God smiles upon you, and now you understand.
Now you have the right relationship with gold and with God.
Gold was incredibly valued and there were very large amounts of gold mentioned in the Bible.
In fact, if you go to 1 Kings, it says that King Solomon's wealth was so great that each year, each year, the weight of gold that came to Solomon, this is 1 Kings the weight of gold that came to Solomon, this is 1 Kings 10, verse 14, was 666 talents of gold.
Now that's odd to see that number there, 666, in terms of how much gold came to King Solomon.
So if we do the math on that, that's a million ounces of gold that came to King Solomon each year.
A million ounces of gold.
A little over a million.
The present day value of a million ounces of gold If you value them at just $2,500 an ounce, which right now gold is more like, an ounce of gold is worth $2,700, $2,800, even more.
But let's just call it $2,500.
more like an ounce of gold is worth $2,700, $2,800, even more.
But let's just call it $2,500.
Well, a million ounces of gold is worth over $2.6 billion.
Well and that's including the 1,065,600 ounces of gold that come out of the original there.
Anyway, we can round it down to 2.5 billion.
That's fine.
That means King Solomon Was able to acquire two and a half billion dollars worth of gold every year?
That's a lot of gold.
It even says in the first Kings, and King Solomon made 200 large shields of hammered gold.
Now, I guess if you had a million ounces of gold sitting around, you could make anything you want out of gold.
600 shekels of gold went into each shield, it says.
And then he also made 300 shields of hammered gold.
Three minas of gold went into each shield.
The king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon, and all of King Solomon's drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were pure gold.
Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
And it even goes on, for the king had merchant ships at sea with the fleet of Hiram.
Once every three years, the merchant ships came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes and monkeys, too.
I don't know what they're doing with the apes and monkeys, but the gold and silver, ivory, you know, these were all valued in that day.
But there's a problem, of course, with accumulating so much physical wealth if you turn against God, as King Solomon himself found out.
But it's interesting, they also made a golden calf, you know, like a calf statue out of gold, or two of them.
And the golden calf or a golden bull was also featured in the recent Satanic Olympics, the opening ceremony of the Olympics, which mocked Jesus and mocked the Last Supper and had a transgenderism demon replacing Jesus.
Yeah, they had a golden calf or a golden bull there as well.
You know, all the symbolism of evil is what the Olympics have become.
Now, King Solomon was able to acquire over a million ounces of gold a year.
Obviously, these days, acquiring a million ounces of gold is beyond the reach of most individuals, perhaps not beyond the reach of some nations like China or Saudi Arabia or Russia, maybe the U.S., but I think the U.S., I think the gold vaults are mostly empty.
But here's something that's interesting to note.
It was said to me recently by gold expert Andy Sheckman that throughout history, it has been known that if a family had 1,000 ounces of gold, that that family was considered to be well off financially and that they had that that family was considered to be well off financially and that they had achieved some
Now, right now, today, 1,000 ounces of gold would be worth, what, $2.7 million or $2.8 million? dollars.
Something like that.
Is that enough to live on?
Yes.
Is it enough for your children to inherit?
Certainly.
Is it enough to live forever?
Probably not.
Not with all the rising costs of everything.
But if you are looking into transgenerational wealth, Dollars are the wrong vehicle.
Currency is the wrong vehicle.
Shadow money is the wrong vehicle.
If you want to leave something to your kids or grandkids or family members or to an institution, a non-profit that you support, a church that you support, wherever you want wealth to last, the thing to give is gold.
Because gold holds value from generation to generation.
So if you are able to, if you're wealthy enough, strive to acquire 1,000 ounces of gold and you will have established a milestone of some level of transgenerational wealth.
If you don't have that much wealth, if you don't have a few million dollars, aim for 100 ounces of gold or 10 or start with one.
If you don't own any gold, start with one and then work your way to 10.
Because this is what will outlast the collapse of the satanic beast system.
The dollar is the beast system, or part of the beast system.
Shadow money, debt, fear, weaponization by government, centralized control over money.
And if you want to be free, and if you want to achieve true financial independence, I believe the method to get there is through God's money, gold and silver.
That way you can keep what you've earned if you convert it into gold and silver.
And since you have it in your possession, it is very, very difficult for evil governments to take it from you.
Although there have been governments in the past that carried out gold confiscation, you know, legally on paper.
Think about how difficult it is for a government to run around the country with shovels or whatever and try to dig up people's gold, even to find it, versus shadow money in a bank account tied to your social security number, governments can take that from you electronically.
They can steal from you sitting behind a desk.
They can just declare, oh, your money is now ours because we say you owe us.
You know, get a threatening letter from the IRS.
Oh, you owe us everything.
And then we're just going to freeze your bank account.
You're like, what?
No, you can't.
And they say, already did.
We already did.
We stole it electronically because they can do that.
Whereas if you have your wealth in gold, well, then now they have to send out a team with metal detectors.
And now it's work.
You know, it's effort for them.
him.
And they don't have the bandwidth to do that to everybody, especially if your gold is well hidden from thieves or confiscators or whoever else.
So if you do own any substantial amount of gold, make sure that you expend some effort to hide it well.
Make sure that thieves can't get it.
Make sure that confiscators can't get it.
Make sure that you can get it when you want to get to it without too much trouble, but don't make it easy for anybody else to get it.
Just in case, if you're away, you know, you don't want anybody robbing your place, obviously.
There might be civil unrest.
There might be a lot of looting that goes on.
You want to make gold hard to find.
And then finally, from a spiritual perspective, Please remember that God can and will take away all of your financial wealth if you turn against Him.
You may think that you're hot stuff for accumulating a thousand ounces of gold.
It's easy for powerful or successful people to get a big ego and to think, you know, it's mine.
It's all mine.
I did this, you know, that, that kind of attitude, which of course is very common among human beings.
And, and then often they would tend to turn wicked and they would start going to the crazy You know, Hollywood orgy parties and doing drugs and mass fornicating and rolling around with naked prostitutes and whatever all these people do and snorting this, injecting that.
Yeah, guess what?
God will cause your wealth to vanish so fast that you'll be shocked.
If you turn from God, God will take away his blessings.
That message is crystal clear throughout the Bible, because you have only achieved blessings by the grace of God.
Yes, I get it.
You've put in effort.
You've worked.
Yes, you've expended time and energy in order to accumulate financial wealth.
You were only able to do that because God gave you the gift of life, because God gave you the gift of consciousness, because God gave you the gift of being in a world, living in this time when the world is filled with God's gifts, which include foods, natural medicines, herbs, and gold.
Gold is—my rooster's crowing in the background, if you can hear him—but that's why gold is mentioned in the Bible along with, you know, myrrh and frankincense of the three wise men.
That's why gold is mentioned among the assets that God provides humanity.
So, honor the gifts that God gives you, consider these gifts to be sacred, and do your part to maintain your obedience to God, and then he shall grant you with more resources because you're proving to be a good steward of those resources.
If you flitter away the gold and you trade the gold for cocaine to have, you know, snort parties or whatever, God's not going to consider you to be a good steward of more wealth.
But if you use that goal to carry out the mission that God put you here to pursue, then you're a good steward and you will be blessed with more resources, more, quote, riches.
Not that that's your goal, not that you should hold on to massive riches, but rather to be a conduit to help others or to prepare.
For big events that may wipe out the finances or the food resources of a lot of people.
Think about the ways that you can help society.
How does stacking gold help you prepare your community for the difficult times that are coming?
There may be a day where you are called upon to use your gold to achieve some important good in your society.
Maybe you need to trade gold for a truckload of food.
You should be willing to do that.
If a truckload of food can feed 500 people or whatever, and the price for that is 10 ounces of gold, and you have the gold, do you have enough spiritual maturity to make that decision to give up the gold to feed 500 people or whatever the ratio is?
That's where the test comes.
And trust me, that test is coming.
And that's where That's where the gold gets converted into spiritual currency with God.
Remember, you can't take gold with you, but you do take your spiritual reputation with you.
That's what counts.
That's your inheritance.
That's God's currency.
So here it is.
In summary, today, right now, in this 3D simulation we call our world, our life, you can trade dollars for gold, shadow money for God's money, and then You will be given opportunities because of the difficult situations that we are all about to experience, opportunities to trade gold for God's currency by doing good for the people around you, doing good in your community through this asset that you have accumulated known as gold or silver.
When that day comes, I pray that you make the right spiritual decision.
Put God first.
Obedience to God comes first.
Use gold to help you achieve what God wants you to do, and then you get the best of both worlds.
So thank you for listening.
That's my sermon for today.
You can find more sermons at abundance.church, and we will continue with more sermons about herbs and foods and natural medicine.
And also, we're not yet done with the book of Revelation, so there's more fascinating comet impact news to come out of the book of Revelation and other fascinating things.
So stay tuned, folks.
A lot more to come.
God bless you.
I'm Mike Adams.
