	Welcome to this emergency weekend edition of Bright Town Broadcast News.
	For Saturday, October 5th, 2024, I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me. Of course, we're going to talk about the rapidly deteriorating situation in North Carolina.
	FEMA has gone insane.
	FEMA is halting supplies, grounding helicopters, turning around trucks, telling people they can't help.
	FEMA is reportedly stealing supplies.
	FEMA is, clearly they got the order to go in and cause as much havoc as possible.
	FEMA is now a federal sabotage department, and their mission is clearly to increase the death count to the maximum number possible.
	That death count will exceed 2,000 people.
	And I have an interview today with Francesco Garipoli, who is in North Carolina, one of the survivors who is well-prepped, by the way.
	He's also a Qigong instructor.
	He's got his own organization that teaches people.
	You'll hear about that here coming up.
	We're going to get to that. But a lot of people were not prepared and didn't have any skills for preparedness, didn't know how to boil water, didn't know really anything.
	And then other people were just swept away without warning in their homes with massive landslides and just buried under tons of rock and mud and trees.
	So we're going to get to all of this.
	I want to mention something else, though, on a different topic.
	Did you know that there's about 4,000 people that travel with Kamala Harris to show up at her rallies?
	It's a traveling circus.
	And the GPS mapping, the geolocation pings of the phones of the people at her events show that it's the same 4,000 people from one event to another over the past three rallies.
	It's all the same or mostly the same 4,000 people.
	They're being paid To load up on buses and get driven to the next rally, unload, show up, cheer and wave and everything, and then load up and go to the next rally.
	Kamala doesn't have hardly any organic people coming out to her rallies.
	They literally have to hire thousands of people to show up and pretend to be supporters.
	That's how insane it is.
	And that's how unpopular Kamala is.
	Because, of course, the Biden-Kamala regime is all about weaponizing the federal government against the American people.
	And I've never seen people as angry as I see it right now.
	With thousands dead from the storm, and people in dire need, and FEMA clearly interfering with this, It's almost as if this is designed by the powers that be to cause some kind of a civil war.
	I'm starting to hear things from like National Guard people who are saying, you know, we should just disobey orders and just take off in the helicopter or drive the truck and we should just go help people, you know, screw the orders.
	I'm hearing people say things Like, arrest all the FEMA agents.
	Get them out of the way. And in fact, I believe a law enforcement agency in North Carolina, I don't know if it was the state troopers.
	I think it was state troopers, but I'd have to fact check that.
	They are threatening to arrest FEMA workers if the FEMA workers are interfering with good faith rescue operations.
	And you can't blame them.
	It really is time for law enforcement to arrest FEMA workers if they are interfering with good faith rescue efforts.
	FEMA is there to carry out sabotage.
	FEMA is there to interrupt aid.
	It's the American people that are providing the aid that's getting to people.
	It's the churches. And even, believe it or not, it looks like Walmart rolled in with a massive truck convoy.
	Reportedly up to 60 trucks, you know, tractor trailers.
	Walmart stepped up.
	A lot of other companies are stepping up.
	My company is stepping up.
	And I should give you...
	Let's see. Oh, I don't have an updated number.
	Yesterday, the number was $146,000.
	I am certain it's going to be over $200,000 worth of food that we will be sending.
	We've sent already 10 pallets on a truck that went out yesterday, Friday.
	And I posted photos of that.
	So we've got 10 pilots on the way to North Carolina to a staging area for helicopter pilots to distribute to people or whatever they can use, you know, ATVs or side-by-sides or whatever.
	Or donkey, you know, wagons.
	We're probably going to be sending a lot more depending on how much support we get from
	you.
	So if you want to participate, you want to buy a bucket, food bucket from us, we'll donate
	one also at the same time.
	You can do that at healthrangersstore.com slash relief.
	That's our buy one, gift one program.
	We've even had some people ask us, can they just buy food and they don't even want us
	to ship the one to them.
	They want both buckets to go to the people in need.
	There is a way to do that.
	It's not a simple way though.
	You'll have to contact customer service and I apologize.
	We don't have it set up automated like that.
	The current program that we have is buy a bucket and then we gift a bucket.
	So you get one and then the people get one in North Carolina.
	And we're going to be rolling out another truck next week.
	And we're going to be bringing you photos and details from the recipient staging area about how we're helping people.
	But, you know, we're just one group of many.
	Glenn Beck is helping out.
	Elon Musk is trying to donate all these Starlink units, and he has lifted any fees on Starlink and the whole region.
	And the FCC is interfering with Starlink.
	I mean, literally every government agency that you can think of has been turned into a weapon against the people.
	There is no federal agency that helps America.
	Not one. FDA, EPA, CDC, ATF, DEA. I mean, who do you think is running the drugs?
	It's the DEA. They're running the drugs.
	You know, FEMA interfering with emergency operations.
	Probably picking up the children to traffic them too, you know, the children that lost their parents.
	Yeah, FEMA, I'm willing to bet FEMA's picking them up and chucking them into the child trafficking machine, which is the Democrat Party and all their corruption.
	Keep an eye out for children there.
	Make sure that they get That they have safety and are put into the hands of local churches or local law enforcement authorities who can keep an eye on them.
	Don't let these FEMA federal agents take the kids.
	You'll never see those kids again.
	Yeah, because they're taking them out of there.
	I'm willing to bet. That's how evil they are.
	They are there to cause sabotage and mayhem and chaos, and they're doing a damn good job of that.
	So I'm going to play a series of videos for you here of people from the area of Who are talking about how FEMA is shutting down donations, how FEMA is stealing food, how FEMA won't help anybody, and how land is being stolen.
	Helicopter pilots are being arrested.
	I've got videos about 15-foot sinkholes.
	So much more. Let me play these videos for you.
	It's going to be quite a few. And then after that, We'll go to the interview today with Francesco Garipoli, who is a survivor.
	And, oh, by the way, breaking news.
	North Carolina State Police, here it is, issue statements that they will start arresting any federal employees trying to stop or hinder rescue operations.
	Can I say hell yeah?
	It's about time. Arrest those federal agents if they are interfering with rescue operations.
	We have got to get...
	Food, medical supplies, emergency supplies to the people in need.
	They are dying by the day.
	And then FEMA comes out and says, oh no, you have to go through a permitting process.
	Oh no, you have to register for this and we have to give you a permission.
	It's like, screw you! They should be arrested by the state police.
	Get FEMA out of the way.
	The federal government has become a weapon against the American people.
	A pathetic joke of incompetent, woke-tard morons.
	Frankly, that's who's running the federal government.
	They have no idea what they're doing.
	Not domestically, not internationally.
	They are incompetent morons.
	We would be better off without them.
	The whole country would be better off without them.
	Frankly, the whole country should secede from Washington, D.C., Let Washington, D.C. run Washington, D.C. The rest of the country should say, we're going to form our own new Republic of America because Washington, D.C. is so pathetic and so corrupt and so woke and incompetent, a bunch of criminals, a giant criminal cabal.
	They should all be completely defunded or rejected.
	And yes, Texas is a real thing.
	But it's not just Texas.
	Every state should exit this current corrupt, broken system and form a new country where we allow people to help people in times of need.
	If you can't do that, why do you even exist as a government?
	I mean, think about it. Our government, our federal government, which is an illegal criminal cabal that rigged the election in 2020, they can't even protect the border, for God's sake.
	They can't help people after a storm.
	They can't even do what their agency name says they're supposed to do, emergency management.
	They can't manage the emergency.
	The Food and Drug Administration doesn't want you to have access to real food.
	All they're doing is pushing drugs.
	The USDA is pushing pesticides and poisons and GMOs.
	It just goes on and on.
	There is no federal agency that does any good for the American people.
	Every last one of them has been weaponized against America.
	And we would be better off without them.
	Think about it. They can't do a damn thing that helps the American people.
	And if you vote for Kamala, you're voting for more weaponization of the government against the people.
	The only way out of this is vote for Trump and then be ready for the financial collapse, the currency collapse that's coming.
	And be ready to help call for liberty and In the new republic that rises out of the ashes of this broken, collapsed system.
	Be ready. By the way, Laura Loomer mentioned this, that everyone who complied in Maui died during the Maui fires.
	If you complied, you died.
	It's only those who disobeyed and who went around the roadblocks, they're the ones who survived.
	And right now, FEMA is trying to starve people to death in the Appalachians.
	Laura Loomer goes on to say, it's going to get to a point where private militias are going to need to escort aid delivery trucks into North Carolina.
	And this is what concerns me, is that this appears to be a federal operation to try to start a civil war.
	And that's what they want before the election, so they can declare an insurrection, cancel the election, and then do nationwide gun confiscation.
	That's what this looks like to me.
	That's why FEMA was given the order to go out and cause as many deaths as possible, to block the aid, block the food, cause mass starvation, to make everybody pissed off, to where there's like citizen militia uprisings in the region.
	And then the press will amplify all of that nationwide.
	Oh, look at these armed citizens.
	They're staging a coup attempt.
	You know, it's going to be like J6 in the Appalachians.
	And then they'll use that narrative to say, well, we can't have the election.
	We have to crack down on the Second Amendment.
	We have to crack down on freedom of speech.
	We have to shut down all these websites.
	We have to send in the military, and then they'll deploy the military against the American people in a guerrilla warfare scenario.
	Yeah, oh, you think that can't happen?
	Absolutely it can. Michael Yan tweets out, OGUS, OGUS, is desperate to create the appearance of, quote, right-wing violence in order to start treating Americans as Gazans and Lebanese.
	In other words, the U.S. government wants to run an ethnic cleansing genocide campaign
	against rural America, but they also, they want to provoke this right-wing violence,
	so-called right-wing violence, for the reasons I just mentioned.
	So they can claim there's a civil war, and then they can cancel the election.
	Look, there's nothing they won't do.
	Yes, they steered the storm.
	Yes, they can control the directions of storms.
	And yes, they caused it to come on this certain path that would destroy Trump voters in Georgia and North Carolina, both of which are swing states.
	And then they caused the storm to kind of hover over this area just dropping rain, feet of rain in some areas.
	areas.
	And then they made sure that all the power transformers that are usually stockpiled as
	spares that they were already sent to Ukraine so that there's no extra transformers left
	to get the power grid back online.
	So they're already saying it's going to be months with no power in this region for many,
	many people.
	Duke Energy announced 370 transformers were offline.
	Power grid substations, sorry, not transformers, but the substations were offline.
	They used transformers. It's going to be months.
	And for the bridges and the roads, years?
	Maybe never? I don't even know.
	So this is all deliberate.
	This is pre-election weaponization of the weather, weaponization of FEMA, weaponization against the American people.
	And you need to understand what this is.
	So, you know, don't engage in violence, but do demand that local law enforcement arrest any federal workers if they are interfering with good faith relief operations.
	They should be arrested, but it's got to be law enforcement that makes those arrests, not just, I don't know, vigilante citizen groups or whatever, because you don't want to play right into the hands of what Kamala and the Democrats want.
	Okay, with that said, also don't forget that Monday is October 7th, and that's the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel.
	And of course, since then, the United States have been providing bombs and money to Israel to slaughter tens of thousands of women and children and elderly people in Gaza and now in Lebanon.
	And Beirut is being absolutely bombed like crazy.
	I mean, Israel is an out-of-control, genocidal state, a terror state.
	So don't be surprised if some extreme sabotage or terror operations get unleashed on Monday here in America.
	I've warned everybody about this for weeks.
	It is upon us.
	Try not to be in crowded places on Monday because those are the obvious targets for suicide vests, explosions, and things like that.
	So try not to be, again...
	Don't even travel if you don't have to.
	Don't be in crowds of people.
	If you can, stay home, be safe, be watchful, have extra backup supplies, be ready for power grid failures, be ready for disruptions in the infrastructure, food supply, fuel supply, everything, water supply.
	Be ready. And that's now just two days away.
	Also on Monday, that's the last day of our Food Aid Buy One, Gift One program.
	So if you want to participate in that, healthrangerstore.com slash relief.
	And every bucket of food that you buy, we also match it with another bucket that we donate to those in need.
	And yes, we're making sure that our deliveries get into the hands of people that Who can make sure they get distributed to people in need.
	And I'm told that our receiving crew there, that they've got a line to the governor in case FEMA tries to get in the way.
	It's not going to be tolerated.
	It might be a law enforcement escort of some kind or a governor's order, whatever it takes.
	We're going to make sure our food gets through.
	And then we'll bring you photos and reports of how it's helping people there.
	And so thank you for your support, and thank you.
	And I understand my voice is kind of tired.
	My brain is tired.
	My spirit is tired just watching all of this and trying to deal with what we're doing, the logistics on our side.
	It's a little bit exhausting.
	I can only imagine what the people are going through who are there in the midst of it.
	So much worse. So we've got to help them as much as we can.
	You know, everybody who's not In the flood zone.
	Actually, your life is easy compared to what those people are going through.
	So pray for those people and send help as you can.
	And I apologize for my voice being overworked here.
	Okay, so we're going to play these videos here and then check out the interviews with Francesco Garipoli.
	Then, of course, we'll have today's sermon as well because we're doing a sermon every day.
	We only have like 30, 31 days left or something until the election.
	So it's coming up fast, too.
	All right. God bless you all.
	Take care. Guess what?
	They're trying to kill you and take your land.
	God bless. I have family that was present at the town meeting today about Chimney Rock, and so regardless of what the news says, I don't really care.
	The government gaslighting the general public into believing something that fits their agenda is kind of what they do.
	I picked up a flight of pediatric medical supplies that were brought in and are going to North Asheville.
	We were sitting in the private portion of the airport and we got to overhear an awful lot.
	The army pilots, the navy pilots, hospital representatives, there was a lot of chatter.
	While we were there, a private jet landed and four FEMA representatives got off.
	Four. Four people off of a private jet.
	Come to find out, and you're not going to hear this, so let me tell you, Come to find out Mission Hospital was told, a private hospital, that they are going to go ahead and be the morgue center for body recovery.
	All of the Army Chinook helicopters you're seeing flying overhead, they are doing body recovery.
	FEMA said, and you can take this as a direct quote, said that they are too tied up at the border to send any more representatives.
	Yeah, at the border.
	So anyhow, I guess border control trumps whatever's going on here.
	So they told Mission Hospital they are not sending refrigerated trucks so that they can stack the bodies up.
	And we also overheard that whatever fatality numbers you are hearing, and this is a quote, Go ahead and add a couple of zeros.
	So FEMA's too busy with the border.
	A private hospital and the Army are going to take over body recovery and private individuals with their private helicopters and their private planes are the ones who are flying in supplies.
	I was at Hangar 10. I was picking up supplies.
	There was a stack for the Cajun Navy.
	There was a stack that looked like it was ASPCA. These are all being sent by private individuals.
	FEMA is doing nothing.
	Go ahead and share that.
	Here's your update from Western North Carolina and our Helene help operations.
	First of all, some really dumb rules have been implemented, y'all.
	One of our big shelters and distribution centers, the health department told the refugees, those that are stranded, have lost everything, that they could not use the shelter showers without flip-flops.
	Dumbest thing I have ever heard, these people have lost everything, and you won't let them take a hot shower without flip-flops?
	Well, when I got that call, thank you, friends, and thank you to Larry and Concord who hooked us up at the Nail Supply Place because we sent 18,000 pairs of flip-flops up to the shelter this morning where one of my girlfriends took a trailer up so people can take a shower.
	Those are the kind of rules that don't help in a time of absolute survival disaster.
	That's number one. Number two is, if you're reading about FEMA online and wondering if they're really a pain in the tail, I can confirm it is true.
	I tried to send in a pallet of chainsaws two days ago, and we had to divert it somewhere away from FEMA because they wanted to confiscate.
	FEMA, those ain't your chainsaws.
	Our mountain people are much better with them than y'all are, although I'm sure there's some very fine people that work for FEMA. I'm talking about the organization.
	But those saws need to be in the hands of the guys on ATVs down in the holler and up on these trees where there are...
	Blocked roads where we can get access to our neighbors who are still stranded.
	This is not a one-time little five-minute storm.
	There are people that we have not gotten to yet, and we want to get to them.
	That's why those chainsaws are up there.
	So, fine.
	We're going to go around you, FEMA, and don't try to get in the way of North Carolina mountain people when we are trying to take care of each other.
	You should also know I had a shipment trying to go in last night that got stopped Somebody wanted to inventory it, so we diverted that one elsewhere to get it into the hands of an apartment complex of seniors that had been neglected.
	So thank you to the friend of mine who alerted me to that complex and to the other friend who took this load up and, by the way, got to spend the night at the apartment of somebody who was just willing to help out.
	The biggest thing you have to know here is that neighbors are looking after neighbors and when FEMA's in the way don't think you're going to stop us because that's basically like a Satan roadblock and God will find a way because God always wins.
	The other thing I want y'all to know is that we do have support from all over the country.
	We've got NYPD, fire departments, we've got linemen and emergency personnel and we in North Carolina are very grateful that you have chosen to come help us So thank you to them, but boo to the government agencies that want to get in the way.
	And by the way, I've got to add one more thing.
	The announcement today that this little tiny piddling amount of money is going to go to people impacted by this storm.
	Are you kidding me? I told y'all before, you cannot eat money or drink money.
	Why are we not seeing massive supply drops come in?
	And I mean massive. The government is run by my taxpayer dollars and your taxpayer dollars.
	They are a net consumer, not a producer.
	So whatever they're throwing out there comes from me.
	As a taxpaying citizen, D.C., quit trying to buy us off because you can't buy us for $750 anyway.
	How about you send in the water we need, send in some ATVs, send in some more chainsaws
	and fuel and let us take care of our people and get out of the way.
	Because Western North Carolina is going to pull through this whether you get in our way
	or not.
	Okay, sorry, real quick.
	We're catching wind now that people are being stopped at the borders.
	If you are coming in with stuff, do not tell the police that you're doing that.
	F***ing lie and say that you live here, you're coming home, you have 100% pure pathway.
	Deny, deny, deny.
	Do not say you're bringing stuff to aid us because they're turning you around.
	I don't know why.
	I do not know why, but yeah, that's happening.
	So, just with that said, be...
	be sneaky.
	Sneak it in here. Remember, we are in fact playing a real-life video game and we are here to win.
	The rules kind of don't apply anymore.
	Here. We don't have rules.
	All that's fake now.
	So just ride the wave with me and put on your best gamer mentality and help me win this, okay?
	Thank you. They're taking the donations in Tennessee.
	Red Cross, FEMA, TEMA have come in and confiscated all of the donations that were given to the local high schools.
	They're taking control of additional volunteer schools.
	And if anyone now, if anyone wants access to the donations that they were given for help, they have to go through an approval process.
	All monetary donations taken and moved into a TEMA account, which means that they won't even be used fully for the Helene disaster.
	It's like they're turning local relief efforts into a mess of bureaucracy.
	When did it get this...
	This bad because FEMA is supposed to come in, Red Cross is supposed to come in and hand you water and give you donations and help and be there for you, but instead they're confiscating it and arresting people who are actually trying to help.
	Yes, the volunteers, they've been told to leave and can't even help people anymore unless they're trained by the United Way.
	The same people who were already out there making a difference and now they're being pushed out and told to go home or they will be arrested.
	This is a total insult to all of the local volunteers who were doing the real work before these bureaucratic agencies stepped in and took over.
	So to everybody that heard about all the supplies and planes that were coming from downtown Greenville Airport and flying up to North Carolina to deliver supplies, water, whatever anybody was donating and people were needing was being sent up there.
	Well, today it's awfully quiet and we see these helicopters lined up.
	And they have a booth set up here and everything.
	Turns out that's FEMA. FEMA has shut down all the local donation operations that were going on and delivering supplies and now they're saying that they're not allowed to deliver any more supplies anymore.
	So all these people are unfortunately have all these supplies but cannot take it up there.
	So... That's our government for you.
	Oh, and another thing.
	Those helicopters that have been sitting there, have been sitting there since this morning.
	Haven't seen a single movement.
	Just a bunch of impacting of important equipment and nothing happening.
	So, I'm so sorry, North Carolina.
	We tried. 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 in, 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 Wuji 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 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 with 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...
	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 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 Brighton U? 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?
	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?
	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, Francesca, 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, You know, we'll try to, you know, 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, you know, 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 Swanona, which is not far.
	I can see it from here, from Muji Mountain.
	I can see toward Black Mountain, a town called Montreat, a town called Swanona.
	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.
	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 You know, 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. I mean, you know how long it's going to take to build a giant section of an eight-lane highway?
	Oh, 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 the 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 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 train 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 use 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, you know, years of free rent, luxury apartments.
	Food cart, like debit cards to buy food.
	But then when the American people need help, Majorca 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 and 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.
	Oh. Okay. 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 waiting 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 waiters 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.
	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. And 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 hours.
	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 will 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.
	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, 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.
	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. So 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 in the most powerful country in the world happening in less than a month.
	We've got a situation, actually almost to the day of 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, okay, 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.
	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?
	Mike, 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. I know what's coming.
	You hear me talk. By the way, nobody's mocking my preparedness attitude today.
	Good. A couple years ago, I was like, you should get buckets and wagons.
	People were like, that's so funny.
	People should get wagons.
	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 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 it 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. I should have a little angry.
	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.
	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. And it...
	But it may miss...
	You know, 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 Wigenden'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 for 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.
	You know, 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.
	It's just who we are, right?
	All of us together. Where's humanity?
	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. Isn't 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.
	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 Awake, and 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 all takes 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 HealthRanger, 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.
	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 who are impacted in that area.
	Just gift them this food and help them get good nutrition, clean food, and help bring some warmth into their hearts to know that America cares about them, the American 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 us.
	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 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 shop healthrangerstore.com slash relief.
	Load up on buckets for yourself.
	And we'll send buckets of food, 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.
	God bless you all. Take care.
	Welcome to today's sermon.
	I'm Mike Adams with Abundance.Church.
	And we've got some interesting wrap-up topics to discuss today.
	And I fully realize, by the way, that the most recent sermons that we've done here, Sermon 66 and 67 and 68, have challenged a lot of the doctrine of the traditional church and Christianity in general, and that a lot of it is very different from what you were taught in Bible school, if that's If you attend a Bible school or Bible study or just church services.
	So I want to share something with you about that.
	First of all, you know that I never went to any kind of official Bible training, which turns out to be a great blessing because I can approach the Scripture with a fresh, neutral kind of tone.
	I can approach it without having presumptions about what it says.
	So, for example, when I'm looking at Revelation chapter 19 and then verse 11, which I talked about in the previous sermon or two sermons ago, a lot of people say, well, it's Christ coming out of the sky on a white horse.
	And yet you read the verse and Christ is never mentioned.
	In fact, It's not Christ.
	As we talked about, it's actually a comet that is dispatched by God to defeat evil on earth.
	So it has Christ-like properties in the sense that it's here to defeat evil, but it's actually not Christ.
	It's hard to be able to read that with a fresh perspective if it's been drilled into your head since you were four years old that it's Christ on a horse.
	It's Christ on a horse. Christ comes back to this earth.
	And so when I say things like, actually Christ doesn't come back to this earth at all.
	God ends this earth, and then those who are worthy are resurrected in the soul, in the spirit, to meet with Christ and the Lord in a completely different dimension, which is called heaven.
	When I say that, like some people, some people are perfectly open-minded, like, yeah, that actually makes sense.
	It makes total sense.
	Other people are like, no, no.
	We were taught that Christ comes back to this earth.
	He's on a horse in the sky.
	He comes back to this earth.
	He defeats wickedness on this earth.
	And then we keep living on this earth with Christ.
	I'm like, with all the Starbucks too?
	With the Subway sandwich shops?
	Christ is going to be here?
	With the traffic jams on the highway?
	And all the taxes and everything?
	And Netflix? Is Christ going to watch Netflix?
	Folks, Christ doesn't come back to this earth.
	Christ is done with this earth.
	Last time he was here, look what happened.
	He's not coming back to this earth.
	We are going to join him in a different realm.
	God destroys this earth with a series of comets that we've covered in detail.
	The seven comets, the seven impacts.
	But my point is that it's tough for a lot of people to think in a different way, some mental flexibility about something they've been taught their entire lives.
	A lot of people are totally convinced.
	Christ is going to return.
	He's coming back. He's going to come in the sky.
	And with a loud, booming voice, he's going to defeat evil with one loud, booming voice.
	And then I say, got news for you, that loud, booming voice is actually the sound of a comet striking Earth's atmosphere.
	And it's not Christ. It's a comet.
	And we're all going to be actually physically killed, but then spiritually saved.
	Like, when I say that, then somebody will be like, no, that couldn't be.
	My pastor never taught me that.
	Okay, fine.
	In a practical sense, do you realize that it really doesn't matter which way we go?
	As long as you focus on living your life with Christ.
	You realize you're covered in both scenarios.
	So if you live your life in alignment with God and Christ, and you exhibit the properties of a selfless person, of a loving, compassionate person, let's focus on the teachings of Christ here, and if you're capable of practicing forgiveness and selflessness and charity and all these things, then you're going to be judged in a very positive light.
	Now, if you think Christ is coming back on a horse and he's going to live with us on this earth alongside Amazon.com, that's fine.
	As long as you still use your life, the time that you have left, to do the work of Christ, that's fine.
	Or, if the scenario I'm describing is actually correct and we are all obliterated in comet strikes, You're also covered too because, of course, your book of life records all the good things that you did and you get the VIP pass into heaven.
	So we don't have to always agree on the mechanism of how God defeats evil.
	We don't always have to agree on the mechanism.
	We can often just agree on the big picture.
	Okay, God defeats evil.
	Yes, we totally agree on that.
	And good people are, in essence, raptured into heaven.
	Now, I've pointed out, I've covered this in great detail, I've covered 1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians and so on, about the fact that the rapture is actually post-trib.
	And by the way, I approach those scriptural passages honestly.
	Before I actually taught that sermon, I did not have a preconceived notion about whether it's pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib.
	So I did not try to make Scripture fit my narrative, so to speak.
	I studied those passages now, knowing what we know with all the new information that we've Gleaned and shared here about the comet impacts and the timing of everything.
	And then came to the conclusion that this clearly happens at the end of the seventh trumpet, which is the seventh impact.
	So, in other words, the rapture or the...
	The resurrection of the worthy souls to join Christ and God in heaven, this happens at the end of the seven comets, which is the end of the total destruction of Earth, by the way.
	So it's very clear to me that the rapture happens post-tribulation, not pre-trib, although perhaps most of the people I know believe in pre-tribulation.
	Now, here's where this does matter.
	Because a lot of people that believe in pre-tribulation rapture, they think that therefore they don't have to really prepare for anything.
	Because in their mind, Jesus is going to take us out of here.
	One day we're just going to float up into the sky before anything bad happens.
	That's a really convenient belief if you don't want to endure any kind of pain and suffering.
	It's a very convenient belief.
	But I don't think it's backed up by Scripture.
	And one of the things that I've learned since I've been teaching these sermons is that most people's knowledge of the Bible doesn't come from the Bible.
	Yeah. That might sound shocking, but it's true.
	Most people's knowledge of the Bible came from what other people told them about the Bible.
	Often their pastor or their church community or Or maybe their spouse or other church members.
	A lot of people think they know the Bible and they haven't read the Bible.
	Isn't that wild? Because, see, I'm someone who knows that I don't know all the Bible.
	And that's why I'm reading the Bible, to learn it.
	And what I'm learning and sharing with you is not what I was told about the Bible.
	It's like, here's the most popular book ever in human history.
	It's got, what, 66 books in it.
	I don't know how many total pages.
	Over a thousand pages.
	It's a pretty big book overall.
	But it's the most popular book that's been printed a billion times.
	A lot of people own this book.
	They've never read it.
	They've never looked at it.
	I mean, they've never looked into it.
	And sometimes when they go to church, the pastor will say, you know, turn to, you know, 1 Thessalonians, whatever.
	We're going to read this one verse together.
	And so you spend like 60 seconds reading a verse, and then after that, let's sing a bunch of songs, you know?
	Hymns, hymns, and psalms, and then poems, and then pop singer, electric guitar, do-do-do-do.
	And it's like, isn't church great?
	Let's teach some leadership skills, you know?
	And you're like, what happened to scripture?
	You know? It's like, and here's a magician, you know?
	Churches have become these entertainment things and these, like, social gatherings, right?
	Far too many of them.
	Not all of them, but far too many have become social gatherings, and they don't really study Scripture.
	Now, I do know that there are churches that seriously study Scripture, like Mennonites.
	You go to a Mennonite church, you better do your homework.
	You better bring your A-game on Scripture.
	Or an Amish church.
	These are serious people. They don't mess around with show and tell and all this kind of bewilderment on stage kind of theatrical nonsense.
	Mennonites and Amish and some other groups are very serious about what Scripture says, and they do read it and they do study it.
	But even in those groups, the stories that they've been told
	have just been handed down from one generation to the next.
	And some of these stories may not actually pan out if you really read Scripture again today,
	knowing what you know today.
	So it's an obvious truth that our understanding of Scripture
	has changed over time.
	And as we gain more knowledge in this world, knowledge including about geology,
	knowledge about earthquakes, knowledge about lightning, knowledge about comets and astronomy,
	then we now have to sort of re-read and re-understand Scripture in the context of knowing what we know today.
	Because in the days of, let's say, Matthew, did they have the word comet?
	Comet? Did they have the word meteorite?
	No. They did not have the word meteorite.
	Did they have the field of astronomy in Matthew's day?
	Nope. There was no astronomy.
	Did they know that the sun was the center of the solar system?
	Nope. Not a clue. They had not gleaned that information.
	And so when they say, you know, the sun was darkened and the moon turned blood red, did they have knowledge that that's because there was particulate matter that was ejected into Earth's stratosphere, dimming the sun and altering the color hue of the moon?
	Did they know that that's what that was?
	No! They did not know what was causing that.
	They just knew that the sun's darker, like sackcloth.
	The sky rolled up like a scroll, you know?
	I'm not insulting the intelligence or the observations of these people.
	And I've commented numerous times that Paul the Apostle, for example, I'm so impressed with his intellect.
	Even today, he would be considered a philosophical genius.
	And you look at the writings of Job, for example.
	Meticulous arguments, just really amazing minds.
	And so I'm totally impressed with the intellect of these people, but they did not have the knowledge base to understand what they were seeing or what God was telling them, or in the case of Matthew, what Jesus was showing him.
	They didn't have the vocabulary to understand what any of this was.
	So, of course, when John of Patmos is given these visions by the angels of these comets coming out of the sky with these long tails and these bright, fiery faces and these Smoldering fireballs underneath it.
	What did he say? Well, the first angel poured out his bowl.
	I don't know. And it had long hair and feet of fire and a bright face.
	It's like, again, I'm not insulting the intelligence at all.
	Don't misinterpret that.
	I'm saying that they had to describe these events in the words and the terms that they knew in their time.
	But as we are now living almost 2,000 years later, we have a lot more knowledge about astronomy, the sun, gravity, velocity of impacts, and all kinds of things.
	And so we need to incorporate that into our understanding of Scripture.
	And that brings us back to Revelation chapter 19.
	Now, Christ on a horse.
	I think this is a really great example, which is why I'm bringing us back to this.
	So this story that we are told, but which is not in the Bible, is that it's Christ on a horse flying out of the sky.
	And again, the passage never says it's Christ, and it's clearly a comet.
	But you know what's interesting about this story?
	It's very similar to what children used to be told about where babies come from.
	Oh, a stork brings the baby.
	Yeah, there's a flying stork that just brings babies.
	And to a childlike mind, which you've got to remember, part of the mission of the Bible was also to teach the Word of God to honestly barely literate people.
	I mean, throughout human history, most people were illiterate.
	Let's be clear about that.
	To be able to read and to write were rare skills until relatively recently, just in the last couple of centuries.
	In the day of Matthew or in the day of John, in the day of Christ, reading and writing were specialties.
	The scribes could read and write.
	That was like a whole career. You can read?
	Oh man, you're going to have so much success in this world.
	You can write too.
	Oh my gosh, we have a job opening for you in the church.
	We need to copy all these scrolls 50 times with no mistakes in ink.
	There's no undo. And it has to look good too.
	No sloppy scribing.
	It's got to look good.
	And if you mess up one character, well there goes that page.
	Rip it out. Start over.
	Can you imagine? No wonder these people could cite Scripture because they had to keep writing it over and over and over again like punishment when you were in elementary school and you spelled the word wrong and your teacher said, okay, you've got to spell it correctly, write it out 500 times.
	That's what scribes had to do.
	They had to rewrite the same scrolls hundreds of times.
	That's why they knew them by heart.
	Anyway, that's just a tangent to this.
	But for most of time, when the Bible has existed, most people have not been able to read text in any language, by the way.
	And, of course, the Bible being written in at least three different languages, maybe more, Someone who could read all the languages, like Paul, was quite a scholar, a very impressive intellect to be able to read all the languages and to have discussions in all these different languages.
	So, understand that the stories in the Bible are also simplified for people who, for the masses, let's say, for the masses who were not The academics of their day.
	They were not the professors.
	They were not the Pauls.
	They were the common people.
	And with the common people, that's where you get, you know, stories like, oh, well, this is, okay, Jesus on a horse flying out of the clouds.
	Oh, okay, you know, common people like, yeah, I can imagine that.
	You don't tell a child how babies are made and how babies come into this world.
	You know why you don't tell children that?
	Because it's psychologically horrifying.
	That's why the birthing process, those of you who have been through it or witnessed it, you don't tell those stories to five-year-olds.
	No, no, no. Not even with epidurals, none of that.
	You do not tell those stories to children because you'll freak them out.
	So you make up a simpler version that's sort of psychologically acceptable.
	A bird brings the baby, you know?
	This is what is happening here in Revelation to teach the masses who were not academics, who were not able to read, they did not have college educations, to teach them The fundamental structure of these stories.
	So they use a lot of metaphors, they use a lot of images that are kind of childlike, frankly, kind of comic book-like.
	Okay, there's Christ on a horse coming out of the sky.
	Not really. That's not really how the Lord defeats evil on Earth.
	Actually, it's a series of comet impacts that destroy every living creature on the planet, but we don't tell those things to children, you know?
	We don't tell the child-minded masses from 2,000 years ago that God's going to destroy the whole world, but if you're good, you're going to be resurrected in your spirit, and you're going to join this alternate dimension where heaven exists and And then your spirit's going to rejoin the river of life spirit, which is the God consciousness where we are all connected.
	Like, you don't explain all that to simple-minded people in the year, you know, 75 AD. They're not going to track that.
	So you tell simplified stories.
	So in essence, what you and I are discussing here in reading this scripture is And then just having an honest assessment of what it says, not holding back, but understanding that these people are describing visually what they saw using simplified terms.
	But you and I can discuss this like adults.
	Because we can talk about subjects like the end of the earth.
	We can talk about things like cosmic impacts.
	Or hypervelocities.
	We could talk about multidimensional realms.
	We could talk about how the mind is the non-material consciousness, whereas the brain is the material interface through which that consciousness is expressed in this 3D world.
	We can even talk about simulation theory.
	And we can realize that, you know, all those high-level physicists that say, this is all a simulation, that is actually the same conclusion.
	That is mentioned in the Bible, which is that this is a simulation created by God.
	This is a temporary world, a testing ground created by God and ultimately ended by God, from which we transcend.
	So simulation theory, though, most of the simulation theory scientists believe that we're all living inside a giant AI supercomputer created by an all-powerful ancient civilization in the cosmos.
	You notice they're just using different words to say the same thing.
	They're afraid to say it's God, the creator, created the entire cosmos.
	God created everything and then God created this 3D world, this simulation with certain laws of physics and certain quantization of photons and all these rules and things.
	God created it.
	And we're going to rejoin with God if we pass the test here.
	But, you know, the simulation theory guys are...
	They're essentially saying the same thing, they just use different words.
	Like, no, it's an AI supercomputer.
	Okay, call it your AI supercomputer.
	It's not, really, but that's your story.
	You know, like, that's how you tell yourself that this world isn't real.
	Because it's not real.
	But there are different ways to tell the same story, different ways to reach the same conclusion, aren't there?
	Buddhism, for example, believes in reincarnation.
	Now, it's interesting because reincarnation, of course, the very first assumption of reincarnation is that your soul is eternal.
	Well, Christianity also teaches that your soul is eternal.
	So they start out with the same truthful definition.
	Assumption there. Your soul actually exists beyond your body.
	In Buddhism, though, the difference is that if you fail this test...
	Now, see, Christianity and Buddhism both believe that this is a test.
	In Buddhism, if you fail the test, you come back and you get to try again.
	But the second time around, you might come back as like a worm or a rabbit or...
	You know, an impoverished child in Africa or whatever.
	Or you might come back as a gnat.
	Or you might come back as a baby to be aborted before you're even born, you know?
	It's like, hey, you didn't even give me a chance, you know?
	It came over before it even started.
	I don't mean to make light of abortion, obviously, but I'm trying to give this...
	A little bit of cosmic levity here to understand the big, big, big picture of what all this is.
	But Buddhists say you get to keep coming back and trying again and again and again until you get it right.
	What does the Bible say?
	What does Christianity say?
	You get one chance at passing the test.
	It's a final exam.
	If you pass it, you go to heaven.
	If you don't pass it, you burn in hell forever.
	So the Christian view...
	Of the soul is that yes, the soul is eternal, but you only have one shot at this and you better get it right, where Buddhism is actually a little more forgiving.
	It's like, you can try again.
	Just keep trying. Of course, it sucks that you have no memory of your last attempt.
	It's like, I made it to the boss level, you know, and then the boss stomped on my face.
	Then I got sent back and they wiped my memory, so I don't even know how to solve this level anymore.
	It seems to me that if there was going to be reincarnation, wouldn't it make more sense to have a memory of what we did wrong the last time?
	I don't know. I'm just saying, maybe some of you are Buddhists and you can help answer that question.
	Why do we have no memory of the last attempt?
	If we're just reincarnated, living over and over again.
	But there's a similar question for Christianity.
	Why would God give us the gift of life and consciousness, self-awareness, and freedom to choose, and take away our memory of how we got here?
	Wouldn't it be so much easier if you're born as a child and you're like, at least somewhere in the back of your mind, you're thinking, okay, okay.
	Yeah, now I remember.
	I'm here as a test, you know?
	God put me here.
	That was a wild journey those last nine months, living inside somebody else, but now I'm here.
	It sure was dark for a long time.
	Now I see daylight, and I'm breathing air.
	So... Wouldn't it be great to remember that this is a drill or test?
	But no. That's part of the whole thing.
	Not only do you have to figure it all out the very first time or you burn in hell, but also we're going to wipe your memory.
	Good luck! God's laughing in heaven.
	Good luck, everybody! First, you have to figure out the rules of the game before you die in the game.
	Right? Isn't that true?
	It's like What if you never stumbled across the Bible?
	What if nobody ever showed you the Bible?
	What if nobody ever taught you that the currency that counts is actually being a good person?
	What if you thought that the mission of life on Earth was to just collect money, and you think you're winning because your bank account looks good, unless you've logged in recently to one of the banks that Has had a glitch that shows everybody's balance is zero.
	That seems to happen a lot.
	But normally you log in and you've got some numbers on the screen.
	Some people think, that's winning!
	I'm winning! You know, what if they never got the real rules?
	Then they could end up burning in hell and really being confused.
	Like, what did I do to get here?
	Well, let us count the ways.
	Let's see. Let's open your book of life.
	Oh, no, please. Please, God, no.
	Does it start with your Facebook history?
	Oh, please, God. Please, no.
	Oh, I thought I scrubbed that.
	Anyway, life is funny.
	Life is funny. But here's the great news in all of this, okay?
	We know the code now.
	We broke the code.
	Okay, we broke the code.
	This is a big deal. We broke the code to the point where we know how to win in the simulation or the testing ground.
	We know how to win. And the good news is that winning really only requires being a good person.
	So it's like everybody wins.
	You don't have to do bad things to be a winner.
	You don't have to beat up anybody else to be a winner.
	All you have to do is be a good person, and the Bible is filled with examples of what that means.
	It's like 80% of the Bible, well, except for all the family tree stuff in Genesis, but most of the rest of the Bible is just examples of how to be a good person.
	Well, except for all the Psalms and poems and everything.
	But you get the point. It's just laying out the foundation in case you had any questions.
	Like, is that a good thing to do or is that evil?
	Well, there's probably a chapter and verse on that if you need some references.
	You can look it up. Or, if you are a good person, you can probably know in your gut what's good and what's wrong.
	And all you have to do is be a good person and you pass the test.
	The other thing that we've decoded in all of this, if you've listened to my recent sermons, is we know how it ends.
	That's actually really valuable information.
	We know how this ends.
	So think about the clarity that this brings.
	We know it ends with God unleashing his wrath in the form of a series of comet impacts, with the last one obliterating all life on Earth, at least all human life, all civilizations, boom, reset.
	You might think, well, that sounds real doom and gloom.
	Not actually.
	But It tells us a lot of interesting things.
	For example, number one, we know that the world doesn't end in nuclear annihilation, does it?
	Because in the book of Revelation, there are still some survivors after the first six impacts.
	There are even a few Israelis still around.
	I mean, God mostly destroyed Israel, but...
	Almost all the other countries as well, but there are some survivors.
	So we know that the world is not annihilated with nuclear weapons.
	That's actually useful information.
	It doesn't mean there won't be nuclear detonations somewhere, but it's not a civilization ending type of nuclear war.
	We know that. We also know that Earth isn't ended by an alien invasion or a giant Earth-killing beam from a quasar or an exploding supernova or something like that.
	That's not how it ends.
	We know this. Well, hold on.
	Let me check myself on that. The first trumpet actually could be a supernova.
	Type of flash fire across the earth.
	So that's a possibility.
	But we can rule out a lot of different things.
	For example, we know that climate change doesn't destroy the earth because that's all a fraud and a scam anyway.
	That's not how this ends.
	We also know that humanity as a species ultimately, in the aggregate, fails the test.
	Fails the God test.
	That's useful information because it helps you set expectations of what you're going to encounter as you interact with other people on this earth.
	If you keep wondering, like, why is everybody so stupid or so evil?
	Well, now you know.
	Because they're not worthy of even being kept alive.
	I mean, God ends them all.
	God kills them all.
	So if you've ever been walking around society and you've had a negative interaction with a customer support person or whatever, and you're like, my God, how is that person even living?
	Don't worry, God shares the exact same thought as you.
	God has the same view.
	He's like, yeah, tell me about it.
	Wait till you see what I have planned.
	That's God saying that.
	If you've been disappointed in humanity, think about his disappointment in humanity.
	And you might ask, by the way, as a tangent, like, well, why did he create humankind if he's just going to be disappointed?
	Well, he created humankind and then he gave humankind free will.
	Because otherwise, what's the point?
	And he was hoping that humankind would use free will to love the Lord.
	Instead, they used it to blaspheme the Lord.
	And to commit all kinds of sins, beginning, you know, with the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
	That actually kind of set the whole tone for the whole thing, the thousands of years ending with game over.
	If you think about it, we've actually been on a collision course with God's judgment this whole time.
	Maybe God gave humanity a lot of chances to fix itself.
	If you could just stop with the mass fornication, if you could just stop being thieves and being full of yourself with all your fame in the church or whatever, if you could just be decent human beings, maybe I, the Lord, could alter the course of some of these comments.
	As God watched humankind develop, the level of evil expressed by humankind became too much to bear.
	Think about it, where we are today.
	We are a species, humankind, a species that poisons our children with pesticides, pollutes our soils with bio-sludge, contaminates our waters with pharmaceutical runoff and birth control chemicals, Murders are babies, calling it women's reproductive health.
	We pollute our skies to block the sun.
	We synthesize shadow medicine and plastics, chemicals, and pollute the entire world with those substances.
	We put children on mind-altering psychiatric drugs.
	Our scientists and doctors carry out cruel medical experiments on puppy dogs.
	And sometimes children. We live in a world of incredible demonic possession, perversion, sexual perversion, you know, Pizzagate and all that.
	And then we live in a world where our governments build bioweapons and call them vaccines and line people up to be injected with them while we're funding bombs that massacre innocent women and children.
	And we call it justice.
	Oh, yeah. And also, speaking of justice, we live in a world where they tell us that men can have babies and that God doesn't exist.
	And that you should put tampons in men's restrooms.
	What do you think God is thinking about this?
	God is looking at this and saying, holy, what on earth have I unleashed?
	How did this go wrong?
	This experiment needs to end.
	It's like, you would do the same thing if you were God.
	You would. You'd do the same thing.
	You would literally say, kill them all and let God sort them out.
	And that's exactly what happens.
	That's exactly what happens.
	So don't be surprised.
	And I get it if there's some people out there who can only handle the, you know, the children's version of the stories.
	You know, babies come from storks.
	You know, Santa Claus is real.
	The tooth fairy gives you the money.
	And, yeah, Jesus is going to come back and make this earth perfect, and you're just going to live in your regular body here in the home that you have right now.
	You're going to drive your car.
	You're going to drive a Tesla, and you might see Jesus next to you driving a Tesla, and you're just going to wave, Hi, Jesus, thanks for coming back to Earth and saving Earth from evil.
	Yeah, that's a comic book version that is not true.
	It's not written in Scripture, anything like that.
	In Revelation chapter 21, I believe, yeah, now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.
	It says it all right there.
	The earth you know is gone.
	You're in a new heaven and a new earth, and it's not in this realm.
	And if you read Revelation 21, it becomes obvious you're not in Kansas anymore.
	You're in some other dimension.
	And by the way, don't forget verse 8, right there in that chapter, Revelation 21, verse 8, specifically describes what causes you to be rejected from heaven.
	So think about this list very carefully.
	This is God speaking about who will be cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.
	Who will that be?
	He gives a list. The cowardly.
	Oh, that's like 90% of the population, right?
	The cowardly. Everybody's a coward these days.
	I'm afraid to say that.
	I'm afraid to challenge that.
	I'm afraid. Total cowards.
	The unbelieving, the abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, Sorcerers, which I think includes the big pharma people.
	Idolaters, people who worship false idols.
	And all liars.
	Well, there goes the political class.
	There goes all the so-called journalists in the media.
	They shall have their part in the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
	By the way, that second death refers to the death of the soul.
	The first death is when the comet destroys your body.
	That's, yeah, that's, let's call that like the first wipeout.
	Ah, we all got wiped out.
	Okay, what's next?
	Well, you either get resurrected or you suffer the second death.
	No, not the second death.
	Yes, they even give you the list.
	But a lot of people don't realize you can be sent to the second death just from being a coward.
	And everybody's a coward, it seems, because they all want to get along.
	They want to fit in.
	They want a virtue signal.
	They want to be all woke.
	You know, they don't want to say, they don't want to rock the boat.
	There's a lot of cowardice in the church, I've noticed.
	Don't want to challenge doctrine.
	A lot of cowards, man.
	Yeah. Sexually immoral, wouldn't that include sodomizers and groomers and pedophiles and mass fornicators?
	The people who swipe on the dating apps?
	Swipe left, swipe right?
	I don't know. Swipe yourself.
	The murderers, the unbelieving, those who don't believe in God.
	That's going to get a lot of people right there.
	So you realize that, you know, this lake which burns with fire and brimstone, it's going to be crowded.
	It's going to be like the community pool on a hot summer Saturday.
	It's like, this thing's packed.
	There's going to be a lot of souls in there enjoying their second death.
	By the way, my favorite part about this is just thinking about all the people who end up in hell and then are surprised.
	Like, what? This is real?
	Yep. And you did not pass the test.
	It's going to get toasty down here.
	Anyway, I just imagine, you know, that look of shock on their face.
	It'd be like Tim Walls in a debate.
	Like, what? It's like, this is real?
	Ask yourself this question right now, by the way.
	Do you think, if judgment came today, right now, would you be judged worthy of heaven, or would you be judged as dropping into hell?
	And whatever that answer is, you still have time.
	You still have time.
	If you're already going to heaven, guess what?
	You might be able to help save more people to join you in heaven.
	Or more souls, I should say.
	It's not going to be physical bodies.
	If you think you're going to hell, you may be right at the moment, but you can change it.
	You can change it. You can ask for forgiveness.
	You can repent for your sins.
	You can earn back through God's currency.
	You might even...
	Now, again, I don't know how the scoring system works exactly, but if you had been cowardly in the past, well, maybe you can find courage.
	And then you can behave with more courage and you can erase the cowardice.
	If you had been abominable in the past, whatever that meant, lumbering around the neighborhood, scaring little children or whatever, you could maybe stop doing that and you could change who you are.
	Murderers, it says.
	Well, if you murdered someone in the past, maybe you could stop murdering people.
	Just say it.
	Maybe you killed someone in a way that was self-defense.
	That's not considered murder, by the way.
	That's self-defense. That is allowed by God if it's truly self-defense.
	But if you literally killed someone out of hatred or violence or something, can God forgive you over enough time and enough repentance?
	I suspect the answer is yes.
	I don't know for certain.
	But even if you murdered someone, possibly with enough time and enough repentance and enough good deeds, you could nullify that with good deeds.
	Possibly. Maybe.
	I think the answer is yes.
	Sexually immoral.
	Well, stop doing those things.
	Whatever you're doing that you think is sending you to hell for...
	Crazy sex acts or sex partners or whatever.
	You can change that.
	You can change that.
	Just don't go to those Hollywood parties anymore, you know?
	Sorcerers, idolaters, you know, stop worshipping false idols and liars.
	You know, stop being a liar.
	If you've been a liar this whole time, maybe stop lying.
	Tell the truth. That's a really tough one these days because the truth is very unpopular.
	The truth about anything is very unpopular.
	Even the truth about scripture is unpopular.
	The truth about politics.
	The truth about economics. The truth about war.
	The truth about, you know, many current events.
	The truth about transgenderism.
	These truths are not popular.
	But if you're a liar, if you're a consistent liar, you're going to hell.
	So, tell the truth, even if it takes effort, even if it gets you banned, you know?
	Tell the truth. Even if it gets you defamed, kicked out of your church, kicked out of your family, guess what?
	They might be going to hell.
	Seriously. You don't want to join them.
	It's not a family reunion, hopefully in hell.
	Although, depending on your family, that may be the case.
	Make sure somebody brings potluck, right?
	You can change your outcome right now.
	And you can do it today.
	And so, let me wrap up with this final message here.
	Big picture of all the sermons that I've been teaching.
	You may not agree with my interpretations.
	You may vehemently disagree.
	And that's okay.
	If anything that I've said here helps motivate you to reform your life in a positive way so that you will be judged worthy by God, then I've done my job.
	Then I've helped you think about these issues in a way that move you in the right direction.
	And if you think Jesus comes out of the sky riding an actual white horse from the clouds, I am totally okay with you believing that, as long as that belief helps you live a life closer to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
	I'm all for it. You can believe whatever you want, as long as it brings you closer to God and helps you earn that inheritance for eternal life.
	Use whatever words you want.
	Use whatever images you want.
	Use whatever stories you want.
	But the ultimate truth is what really matters, that God wants us to be good people, not evil people.
	And being a good person in an evil world may be the most difficult thing that you've ever done.
	Obviously, it's easy to do all the immoral, crazy things and to be a liar and to be a coward.
	That's easy. Being a coward is easy.
	All you have to do is just go along with everybody else.
	Because there are cowards and liars too.
	But having courage and telling the truth, that's very difficult.
	As I say, telling the truth in a time of treason is a revolutionary act.
	And that's true spiritually.
	So expect things to get difficult.
	And remember, there are times in history, and I believe some of the characters and people presented in the Bible too, who were tortured by And it was commanded of them to renounce their faith in order to avoid being killed.
	And see, there's a test for you right there.
	If someone had a gun to your head and said, you either renounce your belief in Christ, or I'm going to pull the trigger and blow your brains out, what would you do?
	Because the correct answer is, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.
	And if you want to pull the trigger, that's on you.
	But I'm going to heaven.
	You're going to hell.
	I'll probably pull the trigger.
	And then your part's done.
	But if you compromise in that moment, if you say, no, no, no, I'll renounce Christ.
	Don't pull the trigger. I want to live.
	I want to live. You've sacrificed your eternal life, actually.
	And it's not worth it. That's not a good deal.
	It's not even like a dollar store good deal.
	You got ripped off there.
	So do not compromise your faith under any circumstances, not even in the face of the threat of death.
	And you'll be given a tremendous amount of credit for holding the line on that with God, believe me.
	It's like extra credit right there.
	So that's today's sermon there.
	Now, I promise we will be getting back to foods and herbs and nutrients from the Bible.
	I've been kind of missing those topics, actually, so I can't wait to get back into those.
	Now that we know how it ends, we can breathe a sigh of relief and we can go back and talk about nutrition.
	We know. We know how it ends.
	We know what to look for.
	Answer? Look up.
	Look at the sky. See what's coming.
	If there's something really bright and shiny and approaching in the sky, or if there's seven of them, God forbid, maybe they're more spread out and you can't see all seven, but if there's one or two or three, You should pay attention to that.
	That might be the first trumpet.
	And remember, a lot of people will survive the first trumpet.
	It does burn up all the grass across the earth, though.
	You might have some burns if you're outside when that thing hits.
	But a lot of people will survive the first trumpet, and the second trumpet hits the ocean, remember?
	So a lot of people will survive even the second trumpet.
	So that's going to be a really interesting time to be alive and just Realizing that, wow, the book of Revelation is real.
	That means there's five more coming, folks.
	Going to be a lot of people begging God for forgiveness in those days, huh?
	It'd be an interesting time to be alive.
	By the way, remember that the sixth trumpet says it kills a third of mankind.
	Well, two-thirds are still around.
	But of course, you know, the crops will have failed because of the lack of sunlight.
	There will be no more nations, no more currencies, no cryptocurrencies.
	You know, it'll be a very interesting time for sure.
	And surviving on that planet may seem like hell, but there will be survivors.
	And then, you know, the seventh impact happens and then that's it.
	Judgment Day. But we know the structure of this now.
	So in essence, we have sort of the blueprint code that For human life on earth in a cosmos created by God.
	We actually have the manual.
	We have the user manual now.
	We should have been born with this user manual, I think.
	It would have been better. But now we've figured it out.
	So live according to the user manual, and you're going to ace this thing.
	It's kind of like you've been given the answers to the tests on the final exam.
	You have. I mean, God gave it to you.
	I just read off the things that disqualify you.
	And then you know from reading the Bible, you know all the good things that you can do that can help bring you into heaven.
	You got the answers, folks.
	It's almost like cosmically cheating on your final.
	But it's all approved by God.
	He actually gives you the answers in advance.
	He just says, I dare you, you know, I dare you to pass the test.
	I dare you to live as a good person.
	Try it, you know. I double dare you.
	That's what God is saying to humanity.
	I double dare you to live as good people.
	And most people just can't even do it.
	Can't do it. But it's a choice for each of us.
	So make those choices and we will see each other in heaven one day.
	In literally an alternate dimension.
	Won't that be cool? Really interesting.
	We'll have a lot to talk about. All right, until then, visit our website, abundance.church, sign up for the email list, and we'll alert you.
	We'll alert you to the first trumpet.
	No, there may not be time.
	We'll alert you when we post things and whether the trumpet comes in our lifetimes or beyond or in the next year or whatever.
	We'll keep doing this as much as we can.
	So God bless you all.
	Thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams of Abundance.Church.
