Helene SURVIVOR Francesco Garripoli reports from a mountain near Asheville...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's emergency interview with I guess I shall call him a survivor of the hurricane, the storm, Helene.
It's a man that we've interviewed before, an extraordinary man, a teacher who has communityawake.org, and he teaches Qigong, among other things.
His name is Francesco Garipoli, or Garipoli, because he's Italian.
Welcome, Francesco.
Welcome, Mike. Thank you so much for helping out in this important situation.
It's great to have you on.
Please, for the audience, tell us exactly where you are.
I think it's North Carolina, right?
Right. I'm smack dab in Asheville, North Carolina.
So we are ground zero in this terrible situation that hopefully our talk here will add some more pieces to the puzzle so people understand the depths of what's going on right now.
All right. Then you're there.
It's your eyes and ears straight to our audience.
FEMA is telling us a bunch of lies and the government's telling us a bunch of lies and the corporate media refuses to cover what's really happening.
So let's hear it from you.
Give us a description of what you have seen.
You know, Mike, I've been through a lot of hurricanes and I've lived in Florida.
I've lived in Hawaii most of my life.
I lived in Hong Kong during two cyclones.
So I am not a person who is unaware of these things.
Hence, your work in helping people prep is so important because I've had to, and I've had to live through these storms and...
What I see now with these eyes of experience is maybe the worst I've ever seen.
I've told my friends in Hawaii that and they can't believe it because we've been through some tough hurricanes there.
Yeah. Which says that this is not a natural occurrence.
Yes. When you see roads that have been in place for 100 years, completely gone.
Bridges that have withstood storms, gone.
Giant chunks of eight-lane highways, gone.
I've seen it with my own eyes.
I've had to walk off Woogee Mountain, our retreat center here in Asheville.
You can't make it out the road.
And when I saw what I saw, I couldn't believe it.
I talked to my friends in Marshall, which is the next town over, eight miles down the road.
Mike, this town, a beautiful old town, lots of brick buildings from the late 1800s to the early 1920s washed away.
It's gone. They built this town because in 1916, there was a big storm and the river came up 12 feet.
And they said, you know what? Let's be able to endure 19.
It'll never get to 19 ever.
So they built a town to withstand that.
Mike, this river went up 27 feet above level.
Unbelievable. Now, okay, let me back up.
People are going to ask, how is it that you are able to talk to us today that you have electricity and bandwidth?
Well, first of all, I'm a bit of a fan of Health Ranger, and I'm Italian and a survivor.
So we don't wait for emergencies to be prepared.
So when I built this eight-acre retreat center here for our nonprofit community, Awake, I made sure that the infrastructure was solid.
So we put all utilities underground.
We ran a 2,000-foot underground fiber optics cable.
Our main structure is basically bolted to the bedrock.
We dug in excavators down to the rock and bolted it with 12-inch port cement and rebar blocks.
That's really smart.
Yeah. You know, I mean, so you think, you know, how does a nonprofit do it?
Well, you act smart.
You don't act rich.
You think rich, even if you don't have the money, but you say, what would a castle look like?
You want to make sure your well, our well goes down 545 feet.
And what about electricity?
Electricity? We have a generator backup, but also I chose this property because it's part of a non-profit co-op called Fiber.
This one is called French Broad Electric.
They're a non-profit co-op, Mike.
Amazing people. We had our power back up in four days.
Mostly it's from hydroelectric power.
And it's brilliant.
This is when community works together.
So this is a community community.
Employee-owned co-op where they made sure people are taken care of, not the government.
So you had several days with no power and I imagine no bandwidth connectivity.
Exactly. And of course, we have our generator, but I didn't want to use the fuel.
So in these situations, you don't have a knee-jerk reaction.
Remember the course we did with Brady on You.
Personal energy prepping.
It was all about watch your emotions.
Don't go into that Pavlovian fear response, which a lot of people did and used up all their fuel the first day on generators.
The idea is to live off power as much as you can.
Stay calm and clear and then make wise choices.
Absolutely. And then I assume you also had food and water supplies and water filters and all that?
Yeah. Again, thanks to you guys.
We have food stored, many, many bins of dried goods.
We always can our food from our gardens.
We have an organic garden.
So food is canned and frozen.
I mean, you just have to be smart.
And it's sad, but I always like to say, you know, don't let a good disaster go to waste.
And I say that in all caring heart because you want to learn from the challenges, right?
Yes. And we've all had challenges in our life.
And each of the incremental type challenges, each one should have honed your skill.
That's the idea of being a real warrior.
It's like, am I going to fall back to my same old kind of BS where I think it's never going to happen again?
Or... That, you know, I've done enough.
Always think, not out of fear, but out of clarity and strength at heart.
Absolutely. And that's the key.
So, Francesco, so one of the things that has bothered me about all of this, and of course, we're doing everything we can to help.
You and I are recording this on Friday, and about...
I'd say two hours ago, we had 10 pallets of our food loaded onto a truck.
The truck departed Texas.
It's on its way to North Carolina.
Staging area there with helicopters ready to distribute.
They're ready to receive it. We're talking about thousands of pounds of organic food that's in these buckets.
We're doing what we can. But here's the thing.
I keep hearing from people who are posting from the area that say, we've run out of water.
And I'm like, there's water everywhere.
What are you talking about?
And the thing is, they think water only comes in plastic bottles in a grocery store.
And I'm like, how can you...
I mean, I'm saying this in my mind.
But I'll share it publicly here.
I'm thinking, how can you be so disconnected from nature...
Where you can't, like, all you need is a bucket and a way to boil water.
You boil it, you sterilize it, then you're good to go.
Have we lost so much in this country that many common people don't know basic, how do I boil water?
Mike, we've been conditioned.
I write in my book, The Chi Effect, which you guys promote, which I'm very grateful for.
We have actually had it bred out of us.
We've had our intuitive mind bred out of us.
And it might sound like I'm just being flippant, but watch it.
Watch what's happened incrementally.
When we depend on big government, when we depend on corporations, We stop thinking about being sovereign and self-dependent.
This is the key.
So yes, the average person thinks water will always be there in plastic bottles.
Not even thinking how the plastic bottle is going to destroy the earth and landfills and oceans and so forth.
So we have 100 gallons of rain catchment.
I've had that since the very beginning when I built this place.
So, I mean, it's always there.
You don't wait for the problems.
But when the problems happen, hopefully people will come up from that sleep, you know, from that conditioning.
It's really just conditioning.
You know, it also...
It strikes me that a lot of families have had, of course, no bandwidth, no cell towers, no comms.
There's probably a very positive effect, like a silver lining to this, of kids having no internet for a week.
Suddenly they have to look out and say, oh, wow, there's trees out here, there's rivers, this is nature?
Wow! And what it's also doing is it's forcing communities to come up to their best.
So we hear a lot of sad stories and terrible things.
People have lost lives.
I mean, family members.
I mean, terrible things.
But at the same time, chaos breeds creation.
This is the nature. This is how the universe was created.
And this is God's plan.
So when we get pushed, We either fall prey to our conditioning, but some of that conditioning, that epigenetic stuff is good.
So what happens is bringing people together.
Communities are amazing around here.
People helping each other.
I mean, it's a choice.
Let me give you an example, okay?
This is interesting. Even from the corporate level, there's two big supermarkets here, like in many places.
There's a Publix and there's Ingalls.
Ingalls put out police officers guarding their stores when people begged for water and canned goods.
Wow. Publix opened the doors and on a good faith system gave people rations of food, even when they couldn't take money.
And when people did have credit cards to pay, they took the credit card and said, even though we can't get uploaded to our server...
We'll try to charge it later, but don't worry.
Take the food now.
So you see, two different ways to think.
And that's what's inside each of us.
You've got the fear-based, protect it, think for yourself mentality, or you have trust in abundance.
Trust that we have to help each other.
And through that helping, we can do amazing things.
Absolutely. And I want to say, too, there are so many extraordinary stories of individuals and groups that are doing amazing things, helping each other, rescuing each other.
And there's a lot of resilience.
A lot of people who live in that area are, in fact, very well-informed on wild foods, and they're doing fine right now relative to other people.
Have people come to your property to ask for help?
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
Tell us about some of those stories.
Well... We've got people I know, some are friends, some people I don't even know, who don't have power just eight miles away.
Okay, so the unique thing about Wooji Mountain is we're connected to this French Broad electric co-op.
We have our power and through them, I have the fiber optics connection.
Just five miles away, people don't have power because it's with another power company that has chosen a different approach.
I won't mention their names, but they've approached this just like Ingalls approached it.
Protect, reserve, wait for the money.
Yeah. Sad. So I've had people come here and, you know, need water.
I mean, thank goodness we've got this amazing well here with crystal clear water.
So I'm able to give people tanks of water.
Are you able to hand pump out of that well?
No, it's too deep for a hand pump, but I've got lots of backup water.
You know, right when the hurricane was hitting, of course, my thinking, start filling up tanks.
So while the electricity is still on before the hit, we start filling up tanks of water.
Well, see, but that thought occurred to you.
It did not occur to a lot of people.
To nobody, Mike. This is how the conditioning, I keep using that word conditioning because we saw what happened during COVID. People's conditioning got them into a fear mentality and they lost every bit of human skill they had.
And you think that COVID just two years ago would have got people to think a little deeper about what they need to do.
And it didn't work because this is how deep the conditioning is in each of us.
This is why we need to do that work on ourselves to say, I will not get caught in that again.
Yes, absolutely.
And Francesco, I don't mean to make this morbid, but the official reports claim there's only 200 people dead in the entire event.
What would you say to that?
I don't want to say the word bullshit on the air, but I will say that it is so downplayed because I think of circles of information and levels of connection between people just from what I've heard from firsthand stories about people who've died says that the extrapolation number should be much higher.
Okay, I'm hearing from other people, thousands.
They're going to be thousands of dead is what I'm hearing.
Just look at some of the aerial photographs of towns like Swinona, which is not far.
I can see it from here, from Ouji Mountain.
I can see toward Black Mountain, a town called Montreat, a town called Swinona.
These towns, Castle Rock, are gone.
Not in a poetic way of like, oh, washed away.
Gone. Houses off their foundations.
I know some emergency relief people who said that they tried to take a boat out with watching people hanging onto trees who couldn't hold on to the last minute.
One story about an elderly man.
They said they were within arm's reach of this man who'd been holding onto a tree all night long and couldn't hold on any longer.
So these are real stories.
Yeah. We also heard many stories of, sadly, many dead bodies found in the trees as the waters receded.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
You can't understand the depth.
People don't know.
I mean, I can't get to Tennessee right now.
We're on the western edge of North Carolina.
20 minutes away, I'm at the Tennessee border.
Before that, there's a bridge, the main highway 26 that goes west.
Gone. Gone.
I mean, you know how long it's going to take to build a giant section of an eight-lane highway?
Oh, well, especially in this day.
Right. So there's people who rely on that for food.
I just got a call for help today.
I really can't do much other than make some connections.
Persons up on a hill, good friend of theirs, who needs insulin?
Think how many stories like that.
Yes. These stories won't ripple out until time goes by and the media wants to downplay this.
You know, it's really crazy.
And I tried to even leave here to try to help some people take my truck out the road.
And I haven't told anybody about this, but when I took it down the hill and I went out to the first road outside of Wooji Mountain as I'm trying to head down to the first paved road because we weren't getting any information, the road collapsed under me, Mike.
I mean, this is a county-maintained road.
I got a big four-wheel drive truck.
We need it for the work we do up here.
The road literally melted under me, and the whole truck slid to the driver's side on its side.
So I got caught in this landslide.
And if it wasn't by the grace of God and a beautiful oak tree, that was...
I mean, it's a trip. It was absolutely placed perfectly over the cab of that truck.
And the Tundra is a powerful truck, a very well-built truck.
And it's a hybrid, by the way, for you people who are worried about fuel consumption.
It landed on its roof and the tree held it.
And I was able to climb out of this truck that's upside down and climb my way out.
Of course, being very careful, I've helped a lot of people in these kind of situations in the past.
But this is where we have to check in when I talk about personal energy prepping.
And my training is martial arts in China for years and stuff like that.
I mean, it's got to come into play, right?
Because in that moment, I wasn't scared.
I didn't cry.
I didn't get worried. I simply said, this is a situation.
What's required of me in this moment?
How do I climb out the window carefully enough and observe things?
Climb up a straight slope as I look down 40 feet and a raging creek that's full of boulders?
Yep. Right? So this is life.
You just dealt with it. Yeah. Well, I think your training, obviously, your practice, your spiritual practice, your qigong, your martial arts, this is actually preparedness training spiritually for these types of events.
And I'm so glad that you have that background and you're able to share this with us.
Let me ask you about... The FEMA response, because if we compare this to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when George Bush was president, the entire corporate media really, really amplified Katrina to try to embarrass Bush to say that he was incompetent, nothing was being done. And by the way, the death count, I believe now in this current storm, vastly exceeds Katrina, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
But the corporate media and the government are pretending that these storms don't exist.
What do you know about FEMA's response in the area?
Can you tell us anything?
First of all, one reason why the power is out for so many people, probably well over a million still, is that typically what happens in these situations is transformers blow.
Or they get knocked down from a pole, things like this, or are submerged and then short and blow that way.
So we know it's a transformer problem.
Every power company keeps hundreds, if not thousands, online.
Guess what they couldn't get over the last year for their stockpiles?
Transformers. Transformers.
Why not? Check it out.
I ask every listener to please do your due diligence.
I do my best to do mine.
The Biden administration gave thousands and thousands to Ukraine.
That's right. That's confirmed.
Okay, so this is fact. So when your own government doesn't prep for you, again, I don't want to be political here, but when Biden sold off the oil reserves, one of the first things they did when their administration came in, and then you give away things like transformers, which are like the lifeblood of a grid, Ask yourself.
And then ask yourself, Mike, you know, these FEMA responses, why are so many people still not getting served?
You know, I know it's chaos.
I know how hard these EMTs work, how hard these people work.
But what you've got here is a forcing of a situation where people have to take care of themselves.
So that's a good thing.
Communities are coming together when they said we've made a response.
When I called in to help get my truck craned out of this, I couldn't get any help.
I even used my satellite phone.
The response from the satellite phone, FEMA cannot respond at this time.
Wow. I'll continue the sentence, to roadside issues.
How many people... We're trapped when roads went out.
That's the biggest thing, just like your conversation.
Absolutely. People plunged into ravines or valleys.
What happened to you? We won't even find these people for a long time.
So when you can't help on that level, you have to ask yourself, what's their priority?
Are they that underserved?
Does that mean that FEMA isn't prepared for this kind of thing?
So I have to ask myself these questions.
I don't want to jump into conspiracies of things, but can I talk about something that might be hard for people to hear?
Well, yes, please. But let me just add, it's not a conspiracy.
This is accounting.
So the U.S. government sends billions to Israel, billions to Ukraine, half a billion to Taiwan.
And FEMA spent nearly a billion dollars on resettling migrants into America.
They got free rent.
they got years of free rent, luxury apartments, food cart, like debit cards to buy food.
But then when the American people need help, Mallorca says, oh, we don't have any more money. So that's
a fact. That's not a conspiracy theory, but I just want to make sure that's in there. But go ahead.
Yeah, thank you for that.
If anything, it's a conspiracy of the government's intention and agenda, which is conspiring to undermine our country.
How can you come to any other conclusion?
That's right. When people here can't get cash out of ATMs because they have limits, a $200 limit when you have a family who's starving?
I mean, come on.
So we have some situations here that we really have to look at.
And you have to ask yourself, and this is hard even for a lot of people who voted Democrat.
They're saying to themselves now, Was this the right choice?
Is that administration and that way of thinking really serving the average person?
And we're seeing it in times like this.
Yeah. Well, exactly.
But let me go back to the power question because there's more there.
Duke Energy, I believe, is the power company that serves most of the area.
Exactly. Duke Energy posted that there were 370 power grid substations.
That were offline.
370. It's amazing.
And some of them were completely underwater.
So they're toast.
They're gone. Duke Energy said that it's going to take months to bring a lot of them back.
You know, it's going to be gradual over time, obviously, but there will continue to be people in that region who have no electricity for many months to come, including winter months.
Guarantee. And look where we are now.
We're October. It's going to start getting cold here by next month.
People don't realize that they've seen the beautiful weather now, but very quickly, there are people still not having power and therefore water when the cold weather hits here.
Or heat. And of course, then heat, yes.
Yeah. I mean, right now, the weather is almost perfect.
If you were going to choose a weather climate for a disaster, you would want it to be right now.
Because you're not going to freeze and you're not going to die from heat, but that's going to change very quickly.
Mike, the sad thing is you need this weather because hurricane season ends in November.
Like I said, I've lived in tropical and subtropical climates my whole life in Asia and all over.
The hurricanes will stop because of temperature differentials in the ocean and so forth.
When you want to engineer a storm, a big one, you wait to this time of year to do it.
Can't do it in the winter.
So watch and listen.
Do your research at geoengineeringwatch.com.
You know, Dane Wiginton has done a great job.
You can make your own conclusions about it.
Yep. Exactly.
Intense. Yeah, absolutely.
It's intense. So, I mean, where do you go from here?
What's next for you?
Well, fortunately, we've got a good, stable infrastructure.
Even though our main roads here are damaged, some of the two-lane roads along the river are down to barely one lane.
So I'm just waiting.
I don't want to go out into the world until things stabilize.
But I'm doing my best I can from here on the mountain.
I've got thousands of people who are In my network, so I'm doing my best to connect with people, connecting resources to resources.
So sometimes that's the best thing you can do.
I mean, the town I just mentioned, Marshall, down the road, it was covered 27 feet of water, three or four feet of mud, a beautiful coffee shop there, completely just windows blown out, buildings undermined.
Guess what? That town is downriver from a giant chemical company.
That makes PVC pipes.
The water testing, that's not getting in the news.
The water is absolutely toxic.
And these beautiful people coming out from the community trying to help are wading in toxic waste right now.
So I beckon people to please don't jump in.
Just like I said, don't use the knee-jerk reaction to go into fear.
Don't use the knee-jerk reaction to jump and help until you know what the situation is.
Get waders at least if you're going to be sloshing around in mud.
Yeah, absolutely.
These are important to think about.
And the people that you talk to there locally, what are they planning to do?
Where are they going to get food and groceries for the time being?
I know. There is one farm that we are connected with that is a really wonderful small farm at the farmer's market that said they feel guilty because their farm was just at a high enough level where they didn't get washed out.
I know many other farmers and I know a lot of these beautiful people who now are working on the chemistry of their land because it's been so washed by the river and toxic waste.
So there are some people like these farmers who are then being smart and allocating small doses to people to help.
Publix is trying because Publix, that supermarket I mentioned before, they originated in Florida.
That's how I knew them from 30 years ago.
So they have an infrastructure.
They have generators in their stores.
They keep the air conditioners on for their storage.
They are thinking. So we have to depend and be grateful.
Not all corporations are bad, you know, and some of them really care about the people.
So I think right now everyone has to think about maybe eating half as much as they normally do.
Like I do now, I'm cutting my diet down a little bit and making sure that there's resources because we don't know what's going to be coming in these coming months.
Well, exactly right.
I'm wondering if some people are never going to be able to return.
That seems obviously to be the case in certain areas because the terrain is gone.
Yeah, as you did in that recent interview.
I mean, when the roadway...
Land is undermined, and you had a cliff.
Remember, this main river that runs through Asheville, the French Broad River, is one of the oldest rivers in the world.
People don't know that. These mountains, these Adirondacks, are one of the oldest mountains in the world, too.
So this river is, if not the oldest, one of the top three oldest rivers in the world, which means the erosion on the hills makes beautiful rock formations, but it also means that the amount of land between the river and the road is just enough to put a road.
I see. When that gets washed out, you can't put a new road back in.
This is going to take a long time to get people safe again.
There's people trying to leave town.
They can't even leave town. Remember, I told you the main roads, they just opened the one that goes off to Tennessee the other direction, and there's traffic jams.
I mean, in town still, there's six-hour waits to get gas and water.
Oh, yeah. Six hours at the gas pump.
Wow. And you only get a $20 ration.
So you can't really leave town on $20.
No, you can't. Okay, so these are real stories.
And I'm not a dramatic person in that way.
I just want people to know the depth of this.
So what you're doing to help people and airdropping food out is so critical.
And I hope if you're watching this, that people can say, if I got a couple of extra dollars, please do the buy one, give away one plan, you know, Oh, you know about our fund?
Yeah. Mike, I love you, man.
You're awesome. You live right.
You know, the people are doing help here.
The Christian groups, the Christian Baptist ministries are amazing.
They're not waiting for FEMA. They're not applying for government money.
They're just coming together as a community.
People are pooling resources and getting it to people who need it.
Well, let me then update since you brought it up.
So we had 10 pallets of food roll out today onto a truck.
And we're recording this on Friday.
And the truck has departed.
We have the bill of lading. We have the destination.
We've got the team at the destination ready to receive.
They've got a pallet jack and a forklift.
They're going to take it off the tractor trailer.
And then they're going to put it on the helicopters bucket by bucket and go out and fly out to the people and land.
They're not just going to heave it out the door.
They're going to land. Right.
And then they're going to hand it over to people in need.
But here's the thing. Well, and let me mention, folks, if you want to help us do this, you buy a bucket and we gift a bucket.
So healthrangerstore.com slash relief.
We'll show you all the buckets, the Ranger buckets, the Mega buckets, and so on.
So you buy a bucket, we ship you your bucket, and then we donate another bucket to North Carolina.
We're going to send a second truck next week.
It's probably going to have more than 10 pallets.
It looks like we're going to hit more than $200,000 in food.
But I want to say to people that are there, you need to be able to make a big SOS sign or something.
You've got to get the attention of the helicopters.
Seriously. One guy I saw video was waving down, like he had a giant mirror, and he was flashing the mirror at the helicopter, and that got their attention over a mile away.
You need to be able to tell the helicopter pilots that you need help.
You know, SOS. I mean, here we are.
This is a reality. This is.
And these are the times when we're tested.
You know, these are the times when people either come together in community and realize that's what our power.
That's why the one group I work with, Len Saputo and his son David, called PeopleUnited.net, the whole message is just about don't depend on the government to be your savior.
Right. Bring it down to grassroots.
Understand about prepping, not only for yourself, but as a community, as a pod.
That's our power. Because when the shit hits the fan like this, it's going to be your faith in your heart.
It's going to be your personal prepping to make sure you're stable to help other people and yourself, and then to have a group of people that you can work with.
And that's why our network is so important when we do a Community Awake.
And I thank people who make contributions there and then buy courses because it all helps to support our projects.
Help people understand how to be human.
You know, how to be connected with each other.
That's what we need more than anything.
Let me mention your website, communityawake.org is the site, and there you can purchase outstanding courses.
Just click on courses and you can get Qigong fundamentals, EMF training, that's interesting.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Okay. You've got a lot of courses there.
Really good stuff. When are you going to be able to have people back at your place?
Right now, I'm telling everybody.
I had to turn away some people, sadly, because everything that happens here is fundraising.
So I think right now, everyone's got to tighten their belt.
Everybody's got to make some deep sacrifices.
So I don't want anybody to come here for a while.
I think right now we've got to look at priorities of need because this is just the beginning.
Any of us who've been watching these trends, Mike, knew that October was going to be the month.
We have a big presidential election, the most powerful country in the world, happening in less than a month.
We've got a situation, actually almost to the day, a month.
So we've got a situation here that this is going to be gamed.
I don't want to predict anything bad, but we are in a tough time right now.
And if you didn't get it from this storm, you better get it and better do what you can to prepare.
Because I just want to mention a little bit About something people don't know about North Carolina.
First of all, it was the state where the gain-of-function work was done.
Is that right? Right?
This is where Fauci did his initial stuff at the University of North Carolina.
This is the state that took all that money.
And then when it was told you couldn't do gain-of-function work on viruses, it was sent to Wuhan lab.
Happened here in North Carolina.
So there's a lot of funky stuff happening in this beautiful state.
I moved here because I want to be part of the positive part of it.
I want to be part of what to make it better.
But do you know that North Carolina has the richest vein of lithium in the United States?
Well, yes, I wasn't even going to bring this up, but people are talking about this all over online.
Oh, really? That's good they're talking about because spodamine, this is what is in this one state.
It's not in Montana.
It's not in California. It's here in North Carolina.
There's a giant vein of tin and spodamine right through North Carolina, and everybody wants it.
The second thing, do you know about the quartz, Mike?
The high-purity quartz.
For the silicon industry, yeah.
To be able to make silicone, you have to process it in an absolutely pure chamber.
You need high, high-purity quartz.
Guess where the one place in the United States is?
Right where the hurricane hit.
35 miles from here.
And look, people online are...
I can't confirm any of this, but some people are saying that the lithium, that there's a government corporate effort to try to just kill everybody or move them off and take their land and then open up a bunch of lithium mines.
This is part of why I'm glad me and you talked today, because I want everybody to be careful not to jump to conclusions, but follow the money.
I'm Italian. That's what we were always taught.
Follow the money and you'll know who's behind it.
And secondly, observe.
So what you observe is that these lithium mines, they're 500 feet deep, and they're gigantic.
They require massive amounts of land.
To dig them, you've got to dig 500 feet deep.
You make giant craters.
You release arsenic into the water system.
Okay? So let's say it's not an agenda to kill people, but the act kills people and the environment and the animals.
Okay? So if this is needed, we can look at it two ways.
One, do they want to get rid of people so they access the land?
Some of these permits...
Do you know the big permit here in North Carolina was only...
Issued in April of this year, 2024.
That's how long since 2018 that they've been trying to get this land.
That's how hard it is.
Wait, permit for what? To dig, to mine the lithium.
Who got that permit?
An Australian company that, guess what, is the supplier to Tesla, the prime supplier to Tesla for lithium.
Okay, that's interesting. But I understand that lithium processing requires vast amounts of water also.
Vast amounts of water.
And that's why this state's perfect for that, too.
We get 50 inches of rain a year.
When I lived in Kauai, it was 180.
But a place like Montana only is 19.
So 50 inches of water, to put it in perspective, is pretty good.
So you've got the water here.
And you use it to process the lithium, which is a terrible, dangerous process, lithium oxide.
And then you poison the water supply in the process.
So you use the water, you rape the land, and then you take resources from humans.
Let me add something that's relevant here.
I think lithium ion batteries are going to be obsolete.
I think sodium ion is the future.
Absolutely. And that's the joke of the whole thing.
But these things take long cycles.
So if lithium is the thing, and it took from 2018 to 2024 six years to get the permit to dig, you're already on the back end of the curve of development.
Right. So we're basically supporting coal mining.
We're supporting ancient type of technologies.
And it's crazy, too, because lithium is dangerous even when it's put into end products.
I mean, how many cars got a little bit of water and then the lithium battery is spontaneously ignited and burned up?
Not only spontaneously ignited, we are learning from what happened to the Hezbollah freedom fighters when those lithium explosives in handheld devices can be blown up by a frequency.
Yes. Sorry.
These are hard things for people to realize.
So if you're promoting lithium-based devices that can be blown up remotely, this is not a good thing.
Well, clearly. And frankly, that brought up the whole question of, can a government remotely designate your electric vehicle?
We know that when Russia began their confrontation in Ukraine, that 17,000 Teslas were turned off that night.
So we know what electric vehicles are all about.
Wow. Well, you said you have a hybrid, but that still burns fuel to provide the energy.
That makes sense. Personally, I drive diesels, and the reason is because I have diesel storage tanks.
Great. You know, because I know what's coming.
I mean, you hear me talk.
By the way, nobody's mocking my preparedness attitude today.
Good. Like, a couple years ago, I was like, you should get buckets and wagons.
And people were like, that's so funny.
People should get wagons.
I'm like, what do they need today in North Carolina?
Buckets and wagons.
No kidding. I've got a wood supply from our forest here.
When the power went out, I started baking bread.
I started cooking on the wood.
Oven I built. It should be second nature for us all to think like our grandparents.
It should be. It should be second nature to not do it out of fear, but do it out of the right thing.
Because our modern world, Mike, is a fragile little sliver of humanity.
Yeah. This little experience we have where we can go get a bottle of water and plastic and have a cell phone is a tiny fraction of human experience.
And we're relying on it to think it's the only way.
And the other thing here in North Carolina that people don't know about is that the purest quartz here, maybe it's not just because they want to stop that production or gain it.
Maybe disrupting is a thing.
You know, you really feel like this may be not about a land grab as much as a disruption.
Well, you sent me a photo of all the chemtrails in this guy.
Oh, Mike. So tell me, the chemtrails were heavy before the storm.
Right before the storm.
You know, Woogee Mountain has got a beautiful big sky here.
It's wonderful, kind of like your ranch.
So you observe things.
You're in touch with nature a lot more.
I'm barefoot a lot up here.
I work chainsawing trees and protecting the place and doing stuff.
The sky, I had never seen so many chemtrails in one instance in my life.
And we used to have a lot in Hawaii, but I saw, and I sent you the picture.
I mean, when you see this, you have to ask yourself, that is unnatural.
And then three days later, there's a mega hurricane hitting area.
I saw the picture.
I posted it. It's pretty crazy.
It's just dense, cross, like crisscross chemtrails.
Right. So all these things are not to get you angry.
I should have a little anger.
You should be pissed off enough to make some good decisions that, one, we're not really in control.
Of a situation. We're no longer in a natural environment.
Like many good scientists say, there hasn't been a hurricane that has been natural in years.
So if we're in that kind of world, you better prep.
You better think clearly about your position in this world.
You better think about how you vote and really think about building community because that's going to be the one thing that's going to keep us going, you know?
Well, exactly. Let me bring up the NOAA hurricane tracker.
There are now two more hurricanes on the way.
Hurricane Kirk. Let's see.
It is currently...
Wow, the winds are 140 miles per hour right now.
Unbelievable. But it may miss...
It may curve north and miss landfall.
But then what we see is that sometimes these things, clearly they get steered.
Well, again, look at Dane Wigginen's work and the tracking.
You can't deny science and observation.
So when you see a storm make drastic turns that aren't based on wind currents, water currents, or other natural things, and you see flashes, electronic flashes and things like this, something is going on.
Yeah, atmospheric ionization.
That's what Dane talks about as methods to influence storms.
Exactly. And it's easy to ionize.
We know how electricity works.
It's easy to trigger these kinds of things.
Yeah, that's true. Right? So we have to start coming together as people.
We have to wake up. And I think the sense of when people feel hopeless, that's when you lost and they won.
So we have to stay hopeful through it all.
Observe these things that we see.
Observe these atrocities that the powers that be are pulling off.
Then say to yourself, what are the things I can do?
The most important thing you can do is pray, of course, because pray is intention.
Prayer is what we put out into the field.
And we've got to put out more positive energy in the field than they're putting negative manipulation into the field.
Right. And that's why stepping up and helping those in need, as you are doing, Francesco, this is a positive energy.
It counteracts the evil, satanic, destructive energy.
Exactly. And that's why I really honor you, Mike, and care about you, because you help inform people.
I just want to make sure that when people get informed, they don't get angry and shut down and then lash out, but say, I'm angry enough to make a positive difference.
And you provide a model You, as Mike Adams, to say, this is what I'm doing.
I'm putting my money where my mouth is.
I'm putting my actions where my heart is.
And if everybody can do that, all of a sudden, we build a shield, a community-based, ground-level shield.
That's right. And we can handle anything that comes our way, which is really critical given, I think, where things are headed.
But yeah, I know so many people.
And then immediately after the storm, I was being contacted by teams that were either heading that direction or were already on the ground.
And it even became a question of...
I need to choose the best destination because there are multiple teams.
I had so many people calling me, Francesco, and volunteering to take food, but it was more like bucket by bucket by bucket.
Somebody has a van, somebody has a pickup truck, another guy has a little trailer.
Like, no, we're going to need a rig, you know, ultimately.
But there were a lot of people willing to help, and that was all organic.
You know, it's just who we are, right?
All of us together. Where's your battery?
And those are examples. Don't give up.
No matter how scared you are, no matter how upset you are, the human spirit is amazing.
Our connection to the God within us is so amazing.
That is the power that will turn this.
I mean, these situations are here to challenge us.
That's what this life is on this planet.
Yeah. Is that the truth?
All right. Well, Francesco, is there anything else you'd like to add before we wrap this up?
No, just to thank everybody for doing what they can to participate with your program, to support community awakening nonprofits like ours, where we're trying to get out there and do something meaningful to keep the vibe up.
Each of us has a role in keeping that vibe up.
That's how we'll win and we'll turn the course at this critical time in history.
Yeah, we will. This is a massive wake-up issue because I think a lot of these people, especially those affected, are finally, many of them might have been completely asleep as to what's going on.
Now, you can't deny it any longer.
Absolutely. So thanks, Mike.
And you're awesome and a great friend.
A great warrior. So thank you.
Well, God bless you, Francesco.
Thank you for all that you do. And let me give out your website again, communityawake.org.
But you're not able to accept, of course, guests for quite some time.
But people can get your courses online.
They can visit your store, your blog, and so on.
And I just want to encourage people to support you and thank you for all that you do, Francesco.
I appreciate it. Because all the donations at Community Awaken, there's a donate link there if people feel that way, will help us with the road that was...
Our road up to Wooji Mountain was like a waterfall.
And I was out there with a pickaxe and a chainsaw so other people could get by and help them out.
But that'll take some doing to get it back to shape.
Do you have a skid steer or like a...
Backhoe or anything like that?
No, not here right now. Our budget is pretty tight.
So I mean, we're just saving up enough for a solar power backup system and a diesel backup system to do some biodiesel stuff.
So, you know, you pick your priorities, but step by step.
All right. Well, God bless you.
Stay safe. Keep us posted, and we'll spread the word.
Thanks, Mike. Take care. Good luck.
Thank you, Francesco. Don't disconnect yet.
Stay online.
So, folks, thank you for watching and sharing this video.
We'll bring you more. Brighteon.com.
We're also posting this on Rumble, and you can follow these posts on Twitter or X. My username is at HealthRanger.
Francesco, what's your X account, if you have one?
I don't have an X account.
Okay, I don't blame you. So, all right.
But Health Ranger, we'll get you more posts and more updates about what's happening.
So thank you all for watching today.
God bless you all. Take care.
We all need to do our part to help the disaster victims in Kentucky, Florida, North and South Carolina, and Georgia.
Many victims are flooded out there, completely flooded out.
They've got no food and no water, no electricity.
They're not even expected to have a water supply for over a month.
So I want to tell you what we're doing at healthrangerstore.com because we do have food supplies.
We have intentionally stocked up on supplies.
What we're doing to get those supplies into the hands of people in need and also how you can help us and help yourself at the same time.
So first, we had already committed a couple of pallets of our food donations and we're currently organizing transport and also working to find the correct staging area.
We got to get it from our warehouse in Texas to the staging area in, well...
Asheville is the current one we're trying to get closest to.
But we also decided, we had a lot of people ask, how can we help?
There are various fundraisers out there.
If you donate money to the various fundraisers, make sure it's legit.
There could be scams out there.
But what we are doing is a buy one, gift one arrangement, where if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash relief, Just type that in, healthrangerstore.com slash relief, and you'll find this page.
You buy one food bucket, and we will donate an additional bucket to disaster victims that are impacted by Helene.
And as you can see here, the ranger buckets, and we've got other food buckets.
I've also got some on my desk here.
If you could show those, just a little selection of what we have.
And what's in these buckets are what we call food bricks.
So this is what one of the bricks looks like.
It's vacuum-packed.
It's nitrogen-flooded and vacuum-packed in a very rugged, long-term, storable, and waterproof format, which is really outstanding for the kind of emergencies that people are facing right now.
These are lentils here.
Again, food bricks. And inside the buckets, there are many, many of these food bricks.
We have chia seeds and we have cashews that can be eaten immediately.
Where many of the items that we are sending, of course, you need to boil water.
So you need to have some way to boil water in order to make a soup or to cook the beans or cook the lentils.
Add some salt if you can have that.
So it's not instant, you know, ready to eat meals, except for the cashews and some of the other nuts and almonds and things that we have.
For most of it, it does require boiling water.
However, this is certified organic, laboratory tested food, and we have a significant supply here that we can donate.
So if you buy food for yourself, Every bucket that you buy, we will donate the same bucket or an equivalent bucket if we run out of those buckets, or we also reserve the right to donate cash that's equivalent to the value of the bucket in case we don't have the inventory to actually support this.
So right now, go to healthrangerstore.com slash relief.
You can choose any of our food buckets here.
We have many different materials in these rugged polyethylene buckets.
We've even got some here on the second page right here.
So you can choose any of these buckets, mega buckets, or ranger buckets as they're called, and we will then...
Oh, and this is through October 7th, Monday at midnight.
So everything that you buy from us through this program, buy one, gift one, through Monday, October 7th at midnight, we will then arrange for the donation, either, again, buckets, equivalent buckets, or cash.
If we run out of buckets, we will bring you photographs of our donation, and technically this donation is being made through our new church.
So, you know, we're going to have all the documentation internally for anybody who ever wants to verify what we're doing.
But our commercial operation is donating this to our church, the Church of Natural Abundance, and this is actually the very first opportunity for the church to help out, and the church will make these donations and coordinate with proper transport companies to get these into the hands of people there, in Asheville, in West Tennessee, in the areas that are affected by these floods.
FEMA doesn't seem to be doing much, and the White House isn't really helping at all.
Trump has shown up there.
I don't think Kamala or Biden, and the corporate media is just ignoring this.
They've abandoned the American people.
Even though we're giving seemingly unlimited money to Ukraine and to Israel to fight more wars, the American people are being forgotten and abandoned by our own government.
And so it comes down to us.
It's we the people.
It's our churches, our ministries, our commercial operations.
We're going to have to help out, and people are helping out by the tens of thousands in any way that we can.
And since this is our infrastructure, we manufacture food, we have long-term storable food, this is what we do, then this is what we're going to contribute.
And with your help, we can contribute many, many pallet loads to the people Yeah, your government has probably forgotten you from the federal level.
Now, state governors, especially DeSantis, is doing a great job in Florida.
Some state governments are doing what they can.
Local governments are doing what they can.
But the federal government has forgotten you.
But we, the people, we have not forgotten you.
We are going to step up here and do our part.
And that's what we're doing.
HealthRangerStore.com slash relief.
Again, every bucket that you buy, we will gift everything.
Either the same bucket or a similar bucket of same value to the people impacted by these storms.
I mean, this is going to be a lot of cash outflow for us.
We don't make anything on this.
There's not 100% markup on this food, trust me.
Not even close to that.
Food markup and food margins are really quite thin compared to many other product categories.
So this is this is us putting our infrastructure our inventory our food and our wallets
You know on the line to help these people who deserve our help
They have been abandoned and we have to let them know that you are not forgotten
we'll step up and help you in any way we can and so so shop health ranger store comm slash relief load up on
buckets for yourself and We'll send buckets of food. I got certified organic lab
tested food all these amazing ingredients. We'll send them to those in need
And then you can be ready for the next tragedy that comes, the next natural disaster, the next flood, the next fire, the next storm, whatever that happens to be.
You can be prepared at the same time.
This is the time to stock up, especially with the longshoremen going on strike.
Supply chains breaking down.
War breaking out in the Middle East, even worse now.
Energy prices are going to spike.
Transport prices are going to spike.
Supply chains are breaking down.
As we realize, you know, a storm, a flood, something can just happen just like that.
And there are people there who didn't even have three or four days of food.
They had no water, no food.
They are in a very bad situation.
Some of them are getting desperate. Looting has broken out.
So if you can get yourself squared away with supplies that you need to be more insulated from these natural disasters, then you're going to be more stable.
You're going to be able to help more people around you.
And that's the mission that we are working to help fulfill.
So shop now, healthrangerestore.com slash relief.
Pick up whatever buckets you want for yourself, we'll ship them to you, and then we'll load up the same number of buckets or equivalent items to ship to the people in need in Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia as well.
So thank you all for your support.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of BrightTown.com and HealthRangerStore.com, and we are doing the best we can to help those people in need in this dire situation.
And also check out our church website at abundance.church because this is actually our first donation activity through our church.
And this is the mission of our church is to bring emergency food rescue packs to people in need and to help alleviate famine and hunger and to help boost nutrition wherever we can.
So we didn't expect the church to be called on so quickly.
And yet, you know, here we are.
So we're doing the best we can.
Thank you for your support.
