	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Friday, November 1st, 2024.
	I'm hesitating because I'm like, is it already November?
	The election is in four days.
	Wow, things are about to change dramatically.
	I need to inform you of a couple of critical things here of what you're about to experience.
	First of all, I want you to know that Kamala Harris is going to be announced the winner, no matter what.
	The steal is already set.
	They've already practiced putting out the fake numbers all over the media.
	You saw that out of Pennsylvania.
	We played that clip yesterday.
	Same thing is happening in Arizona, in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other swing states.
	The Democrats no longer even care if they can drum up the votes or run the ballots.
	They don't even care at this point.
	They're just going to fudge the numbers and post the numbers and claim that Kamala has won.
	And then in Washington, D.C., where they boarded up now, many of the businesses, this is happening right now, McDonald's, a lot of other local businesses around D.C. are boarding up all their windows in anticipation of this.
	You're going to see the Joe Biden, Kamala regime declare a national emergency.
	There will be an FBI-run false flag attack or insurrection.
	Against Democrats, it will be run by members of the fake Patriot Front group waving Nazi flags and Trump symbols, and they will stage a massive insurrection attempt as a false flag operation.
	This will be used to shut down any questioning of the election, just like what happened on January 6, nearly four years ago.
	They will stage an insurrection against themselves, make themselves the victims, to shut down any questionings, and they'll say that Kamala is the winner.
	It's already confirmed by, you know, these media outlets and by these secretaries of state.
	It will be fraudulently certified as quickly as possible.
	And this is their plan, okay?
	This is their plan.
	Now, I want you to be prepared for this because, of course, Trump will actually win Big time.
	Even bigger than four years ago.
	Trump is going to win, you know, not just 60% of the votes, but 70, 75, in some places, even 80% of the real votes.
	The difference is this time, this time, there's Elon Musk with X where the evidence can be shared.
	It won't be covered up.
	This time you have a number of attorneys including Harmeet Dillon who is working hard.
	I believe she's focused on Arizona and there are many other attorneys who are involved here in working to stop this deal.
	In addition, and this is significant, you need to understand this, Israel's Mossad is on Trump's side here.
	And, you know, as much as I am unhappy about the Zionist financial influence of Trump and his campaign and so on, and I've spoken about that, one of the realities of the situation is that Mossad, which is, it's a group that's very technically capable, which is, it's a group that's very technically capable, very experienced in, you know, cyber hacking and anti-hacking operations.
	You're going to see Mossad deeply involved.
	Well, you won't see it.
	It's just going to happen behind the scenes.
	Mossad is going to try to un-cheat this election.
	Which I know, you may think it's weird that I'm even saying this.
	I'm not a fan of Zionism in general, but Mossad is going to be working to un-cheat this election.
	So the Democrats are going to be hacking into the voting machines.
	They've got all the BIOS passwords.
	They're going to cheat, cheat, cheat.
	They're going to rig the numbers.
	They're going to push it out.
	Mossad is going to be working the other side of that to try to un-cheat it, to try to get Trump elected, because Trump's transition team, it turns out, is going to be run...
	It looks like a man named Lutnik, who is very loyal to Israel, and it looks like Trump's transition team is going to be 100% Israel loyalist.
	And so, in other words, if Mossad can uncheat the election and have the real votes count...
	Then Trump gets elected, and then Israel then occupies America with absolute power.
	Israel will occupy and control effectively the entire Trump administration.
	Now, there are a number of ways of looking at this.
	Many people would be concerned by that, but other people might be thankful, and they might thank Mossad and say, you know, well, the Democrats were worse, right?
	That's one way to look at it.
	The Democrats absolutely want to destroy America.
	The Democrats are pure evil, pure deception.
	And Trump is clearly the better choice compared to Kamala.
	But I think you and I agree that we don't want any foreign interference in our elections.
	The Democrats are going to cheat.
	They're going to cheat.
	And the only way to really solve this long term, of course, is, number one, to have paper ballots nationwide, voter ID nationwide, and you count all the votes in one day, even make it a national holiday.
	Election Day should be a national holiday.
	Everybody gets the day off and everybody votes, and by 2 a.m.
	or whatever, it's done, or even midnight.
	It's done.
	You can count a bunch of paper ballots.
	Other countries do it all the time.
	So paper ballots...
	So that they can be individually, they can be checked.
	Like, here's a room with the paper ballots.
	They're in the boxes.
	We can look at them.
	They don't just vanish because somebody hacked the system.
	But the only way to even get to that kind of scene is to have Trump win and then to have radical nationwide voting reforms, which would be quite a challenge given that the way the Constitution is set up, the states run their own local elections.
	And I don't think the federal government can actually tell the states how to run their elections.
	So if individual states are determined to cheat, which all the blue states are determined to cheat, and most of the swing states as well, there's almost nothing that the federal government can do about it.
	Well, except, of course, for the fact that cheating in federal elections is a federal crime.
	It's a felony crime.
	So what Trump would have to do is he would have to mass arrest every single person who was involved in cheating in the last three or four elections.
	And that number is probably 50,000 people.
	And so should Donald Trump...
	If he becomes president, should he issue arrest warrants for 50,000 people?
	Well, if they committed felony election crimes, the answer is yes, absolutely.
	And could Mossad help find that evidence?
	Maybe so.
	Maybe so.
	Again, look, I've been very critical of Zionism in Israel, as you know.
	I've been very critical of Of Trump's infiltration, you know, with Zionism.
	But I'm just laying out the facts here of the different parties that are at play.
	I think it's very clear that Israel knows that Kamala is not their friend.
	Kamala is not their friend.
	Trump is their friend.
	RFK Jr.
	is their friend.
	J.D. Vance is their friend, clearly.
	So they're going to use every tool they have, including Mossad.
	And what's that intelligence unit?
	Is it the 8200?
	Is that what it's called?
	The cyber unit, I don't know all the designations, but anyway, they're going to use all their resources to try to help Trump win.
	And if any of their activities get caught, the Democrats would say, foreign election interference, you know, but of course you can't criticize Israelis, so maybe they wouldn't say anything.
	I don't know.
	But the reason I'm even talking about all this is I want you to understand that Kamala will be announced the winner.
	Within probably...
	I mean, it could happen on election night or...
	Most likely the next one, two, three, or four days, something like that, that Kamala would be announced the winner.
	Now, like I said, I don't think it's going to stand.
	I think this time there are so many challenges.
	There's so much legal evidence.
	There's so many attorneys ready.
	There is a lack of censorship control now by the establishment.
	I think this time it gets overturned.
	And so my prediction is Is that Trump is ultimately declared the winner.
	And then that takes us all the way up to January 6, where Congress has to accept the electoral votes and Kamala Harris, the VP, has to, I think, submit them.
	And I don't think that Congress is going to, or at least the Democrats for sure, are not going to accept Trump as their president, and Kamala probably will violate the Constitution and refuse to submit them.
	And from January 6th, then, we're going to have a real constitutional crisis on our hands, where the red states realize that Trump won, Trump's the legitimate president.
	He's not yet in power because the swearing-in isn't until January 20th.
	But the Democrats are going to say they won't let him in, so they're going to try to carry out a political coup.
	They're going to try to start a domestic civil war of some kind.
	They're going to try to unleash the military against the American people, probably activate the internet kill switch, probably activate the sabotage operations from the occupying invading forces that have crossed the open borders into America, and you're going to see all hell break loose.
	Sometime after Election Day and before January 20th.
	I have no doubt that that's the case.
	In fact, I'm a little bit surprised, but pleasantly surprised, that we made it To this day, November 1st, without something super crazy already happening.
	So we should thank God or maybe thank some white hats or maybe there's some good people still inside the CIA or the NSA or inside, you know, even there might be people in Mossad, for example, that are actually white hat people who are trying to stop horrible, horrible things from happening like nuclear war in the Middle East.
	In order to help Trump get elected.
	I don't know.
	I'm just guessing.
	But I'm amazed that we made it this far.
	I'm thankful that we made it this far.
	I'm praying for peace.
	I'm praying for an honest, fair, and free election.
	And I'm confident that if such an election is carried out, Trump will win hands down.
	And I think that his electoral votes will be anywhere from 325 to 350 in an honest election.
	But again, the Democrats are going to rig and cheat and steal like crazy.
	It's just, I think this time they get caught.
	So be prepared for all of those things to happen.
	All right, now that said, I've got a real treat for you today.
	Several things, but coming up will be an interview with Doug Casey, the international man.
	That's his nickname.
	That's what he's known as, the international man.
	And he and I had a great conversation.
	I really love talking with intelligent, informed people.
	I asked Doug Casey about the election, about Trump.
	I asked him about commodities, gold and silver, and we talked about lithium, and we talked about wars, and we talked about government, government reforms, reducing the size of government, government agencies, RFK, all these issues we talked about.
	I was so inspired by that interview that I actually recorded a special report after that interview.
	That I have now entitled, Why the Dollar Will Collapse, Gold Will Rule, and America Will Fracture into New Nations.
	So I want to play that special report for you right here coming up.
	And then after that, I've got a second special report today called, Even Men with the Best Intentions, like Trump and RFK Jr., Cannot Stop the Downfall of America.
	So I'll play that special report for you as well.
	And I think the message is critical that I'm not saying don't get out and vote, but I am saying that no matter who wins, America's done.
	And I go into more detail in that report.
	We don't know the exact timing, of course, of the downfall or when the dollar fully collapses or when the nation fractures.
	We just...
	We see the writing on the wall.
	Myself, Doug Casey sees it.
	Michael Yan sees it.
	Gerald Salenti sees it.
	You know, Andy Sheckman sees it.
	All the people that I interview, everybody sees it.
	People know what's coming.
	It's just a question of when.
	So then after those two special reports, we'll have the interview with Doug Casey followed by a special sermon today.
	And I'm going to kind of rearrange the sermons because I really want you to hear a sermon today about how to protect yourself from demonic infestation.
	This is a very practical sermon that everybody needs to hear, everybody needs to know, because you may have heard that Tucker Carlson just went public with a true story about how he was, quote, mauled by a demon and As he slept in bed.
	And I may even...
	Well, let me play a clip of that for you so you understand.
	This is a spiritual war.
	I want you to understand.
	Tucker Carlson says he was mauled by a demon.
	Check this out.
	Do you think the presence of evil is kick-starting people to wonder about the good?
	That's what happened to me.
	That's what happened to you?
	Oh, yeah.
	I had a direct experience with it.
	In the milieu of journalism?
	Nope.
	In my bed at night and I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled.
	Physically mauled.
	In a spiritual attack by a demon?
	Yeah, by a demon.
	Or by something unseen that left claw marks on my sides.
	So it left physical marks?
	Oh, they're still there.
	Yeah, yeah.
	A year and a half ago.
	Was your wife terrified?
	I know you were.
	I wasn't.
	I was totally confused.
	I woke up and I couldn't breathe and I thought I was gonna suffocate and I walked around outside and then I walked in and my wife and dogs had not woken up and they're very light sleepers.
	And then I had these terrible pains on my ribcage and on my shoulder and I was just in my boxer shorts and I went and flipped on the light in the bathroom and I had four claw marks on either side underneath my arms and on my left shoulder and they're bleeding.
	Wait, they were bleeding?
	They were bleeding, yeah.
	They were actual claw marks.
	And I sleep on my side, so I wasn't clawing myself.
	I don't have long nails.
	And they didn't fit my hands anyway.
	But yeah, that happened.
	So, I'm not from a world where things like that happen.
	I never heard of anything like that happening before.
	I had no idea what that was.
	I knew it was spiritual immediately.
	You did?
	Okay, that was going to be my question.
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't understand to this day.
	I'm not going to put it...
	You didn't try to refute the spiritual part in your own mind.
	You went right into the idea.
	Well, it didn't make any sense, and it doesn't now.
	But I'm not from a, what do they call it, faith tradition that talks about things like that or even acknowledges their existence.
	There's nothing like that.
	I've never heard anybody say anything like that in my whole life.
	What was the next day like?
	Well, the next morning I woke up and I thought, that was the weirdest dream I've ever had.
	And then I saw blood on my sheets and I realized that was not a dream at all.
	I was like, oh, my assistant was like the only evangelical Christian I know, you know, well enough to call with something bizarre like that, totally bizarre like that.
	And she said, oh, yeah, no, no, that happens.
	Yeah, people are attacked in their bed by demons.
	What?
	What are you even talking about?
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, I'm not leaving anything out, and I'm not pretending to understand that I can only say what happened to me, and that did happen to me.
	And then I was seized with this very intense desire to read the Bible.
	Which I then started without any study aids or anything.
	I bought a Bible that didn't have any...
	I'm not interested in editorializing in the Bible.
	I just want to read it and see what's in there myself.
	I have very low levels of trust for Christian pastors, most of whom, you know, I'm just not a fan at all.
	And sorry to say that, but that's how I feel.
	And so I just didn't...
	I don't want to hear other people's opinions.
	I just want to see what's in there.
	And so I spent a year and a half reading it, and then I started rereading it.
	And it was just a transformative experience for me, but I'm not...
	You know, holding myself out as someone from whom you could get theological advice because I'm not.
	Sure, of course.
	I don't know.
	I don't understand any of it, but yeah, that happened to me.
	Do you think God allowed the demon?
	I have no idea what happened.
	All I know is I was dead asleep with my wife and dogs, and I woke up with claw marks on my ribcage underneath my arms, and it didn't even make sense.
	My arms went...
	Anyway, whatever.
	I'm not...
	No one has to believe me.
	I don't care.
	It doesn't matter.
	But that happened to me, and so I just was like, wow, that...
	That's real.
	Whatever that is, I'm even not sure what it is.
	It's very real.
	And so then that presence of that evil launches something.
	All right.
	That is from an upcoming movie called Christianitiesmovie.com, which I have not seen, but But Scooter Downey posted that clip on Twitter, and so I'm sharing that with you.
	I think it'll be real interesting to check out that movie.
	I'm going to pay attention to it, see what happens.
	In fact, four years ago in 2020, I interviewed Jesse Romero, and he's the author of a book called The Devil in the City of Angels, My Encounters with the Diabolical.
	And I think I'd like to reach out to him, by the way, and interview him again.
	He was a jail, a guard, at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Jail.
	And he found some really extraordinary things about demonic infestation.
	I think it would be really good to interview him again.
	But I'm going to have a special sermon for you today on that topic.
	Demonic infestation is real.
	And in the political realm, there are actual demon-infested people.
	Many of them, the high-level ones, they put a D next to their names, so you know who they are.
	They're called Democrats.
	And they do actually traffic children.
	They feed on children.
	They harvest blood from children.
	I mean, these are not exaggerations.
	They do the most sick, horrible things that you can imagine.
	And it's all real.
	It's all happening.
	All right, so a very powerful show coming up for you today.
	Again, coming up next, a special report, why the dollar will collapse, gold will rule, and America will fracture into new nations.
	Followed by another report, even men with the best intentions cannot stop the downfall of America.
	Followed by the featured interview with Doug Casey, the international man.
	You don't want to miss that.
	Followed by today's special sermon on how to halt demonic infestation.
	You also don't want to miss that, so...
	Enjoy the rest of the show.
	To support us, shop at healthrangerstore.com.
	I'm going to play a two-minute ad that I just filmed today in the studio talking about what we have back in stock at the store.
	So take a look at that, healthrangerstore.com, and then we'll continue with the rest of the show.
	I just completed an interview with Doug Casey, the international man.
	It's a great reminder that government is not going to solve our problems and elections.
	Aren't going to solve our problems either.
	Doesn't mean you shouldn't vote.
	It doesn't mean that getting the lesser of two evils into power isn't maybe a wise strategy in the short term.
	But the big reminder from Doug Casey is that this irrational, almost cult-like belief in government as the provider of productivity or the provider of safeguards or the grantor of your rights or freedoms even.
	This is a delusion.
	Government will not solve our problems.
	And by extension, just electing the right people into government will also not solve our problems because the structure of government itself And the kind of people who are attracted to government power, it's the antithesis of what we need for solutions.
	So you can't solve the problems created by government by making government bigger.
	And the tendency among people is to say that, well, the only way we can solve this problem or that problem is to have a government department.
	Let's have an environmental protection agency.
	Oh, yeah.
	To do what?
	To protect the environment.
	Well, then it turns out the EPA bans combustion engines or the EPA ridiculously declares carbon dioxide to be a pollutant with no scientific supporting evidence whatsoever.
	And time and time again, like the Food and Drug Administration, what does it do?
	It promotes death.
	It should be the Federal Death Agency.
	It promotes toxic medicines and grants them a monopoly and harasses the providers of healthy food or nutritional supplements or herbal medicine, things like that.
	Time and time again, every government agency that is created to regulate something or to solve a problem, like the DEA, the Drug Enforcement Agency, what do they do?
	What do they end up doing?
	Running the drugs.
	The ATF runs the guns.
	You know, Border Patrol, compromised in many cases, ends up opening the border.
	You know, some of them are paid off.
	Not all.
	I'm not saying they're all bad.
	But in some sectors, such as Arizona and California in particular, a lot of border patrol are paid off and they just, the border's wide open for human trafficking.
	Government cannot solve these problems.
	What government does is it prints money and it weaponizes federal agencies against the people.
	And printing money itself is a form of theft against the people.
	And even worse, the kind of people who are attracted to government.
	Well, Doug Casey calls them the busybodies who want to control everybody.
	And that's true.
	These are people who otherwise could not survive in a free market society because they can't produce anything.
	They have no original ideas and they don't want to work.
	So they find their way into government.
	They weasel their way into positions of power so they can function as parasites, getting paid to feed off of other people that they threaten or coerce or enslave through authoritarianism and tyranny and false authority.
	Government is not the solution.
	And as Doug Casey says, governments shouldn't be even in the business of money.
	There shouldn't be a U.S. dollar.
	There shouldn't be a Federal Reserve.
	There shouldn't be a U.S. Treasury.
	Money should have nothing to do with government.
	Money should be decentralized.
	It should be the people's money.
	It should be honest money, backed by gold or maybe just gold itself.
	The government only weaponizes its monopoly over money.
	And then uses its money printing capacity to confiscate purchasing power from the people, which is a confiscation of their labor and their ideas and their intellectual property and their physical property, in order to fund wars and in order to fund tyranny and censorship and surveillance against the people.
	This is what government does.
	Government is not the solution.
	Government is the problem.
	And the bigger the government becomes, the bigger your problems become in any society.
	And so the collapse of tyrannical government, which is coming for America because of the collapse of the dollar, the collapse is actually Sort of the best organic way to see government kind of, you know, eliminate itself.
	When the government cannot fund itself, then, you know, the system's crater.
	And it can't write checks to government workers.
	And then those government workers don't show up and they don't tyrannize the American people.
	They don't threaten and coerce you when they don't show up to work.
	So eliminating the actual salary payments to government workers is one of the best ways to enhance freedom of the American people.
	And that's going to happen automatically, organically, just by the collapse of the dollar itself.
	As Doug Casey says, bad ideas or ideas that are contradictory to nature or reality, I think is the way he puts it.
	They eventually out themselves.
	You know, bad ideas are eventually exposed as bad ideas.
	Bad structures eventually implode upon themselves.
	Sometimes it can take decades or generations to Or, you know, in the case of the Federal Reserve, well, over 100 years since 1913 to today, and who knows how long it's going to last, but Doug believes we're right on the verge of the system completely imploding upon itself.
	Could happen at any given time.
	It could be some trigger event that makes it happen all of a sudden, or maybe they can kick the can down the road for a few more years.
	But it is imminent in terms of the timelines of history that the United States of America ceases to be financially viable.
	And there's no way out of this because the budget won't be balanced.
	That's impossible.
	The debts won't be repaid.
	The dollar won't be remonetized with gold.
	That would be too economically painful because the government would lose its ability to just print money from nothing, nothing effectively confiscating from the people in order to fund its favorite money laundering projects like Ukraine or bombs for Israel or money for solar companies or whatever it is.
	A lot of that money is just funneled back into campaign donations, smurfing operations for Democrats, by the way.
	Thank you.
	So, of course, nobody in the U.S. government will ever want to give up the power of printing money, which means they're just going to print and print and print until the system collapses.
	The dollar will collapse.
	It will go to zero.
	That day is coming.
	When that day comes, and I asked Doug Casey this question, you know, what's the off-ramp for people?
	And the answer is just gold.
	It's gold and maybe a little bit of silver, but it's pretty much gold.
	Maybe a little bit of Bitcoin if you want the advantages of electronic systems of value.
	But it's mostly gold.
	Gold does not have counterparty risk.
	Gold has built-in scarcity.
	Gold can't be counterfeited by any nation.
	Believe me, if they could counterfeit gold, they would have done so by now.
	So gold Gold is a tier one asset.
	Gold is being purchased by central banks.
	The billionaires who know what's going on in the world are buying gold.
	And if you want to have anything remaining after the collapse, then gold and silver should be at the top of your list of things to check out.
	Now, let me give you a couple of resources and a sponsor with gold and also some different forms of gold and silver that you can check out.
	So our primary sponsor in gold and silver coins is the Treasure Island Company.
	You can find them at metalswithmike.com.
	And no, I don't earn a commission.
	They're honest.
	They're professionals.
	They have great, very competitive pricing.
	You can see the pricing in real time on their website.
	Fluctuating with the rise and fall of gold and silver, by the way.
	And they can ship you discreetly and guaranteed insured shipments of gold and silver.
	So, metalswithmike.com.
	If you want goldbacks, which are highly divisible forms of gold, In a beautiful format, like one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold in a polymer format.
	They're really beautiful.
	People love goldbacks.
	They make great tips and gifts in farmers markets.
	Many people will accept them.
	More and more merchants are interested in signing up to accept goldbacks, but they have real physical gold in them.
	You can go to verifiedgoldbacks.com and you can find those.
	And there's another form of metals, which is called prepper bars.
	And these are silver bars with breakaway pieces of silver.
	So you can break off a piece like one-tenth of an ounce of silver or one-fourth of an ounce or one-twentieth of an ounce.
	And those are found at rangerdeals.com.
	Just go to rangerdeals.com and you'll see those.
	So those are different forms of gold and silver that you can check out if gold and silver are right for you.
	Just to remind you, I'm not your financial advisor, so do your own research.
	And I'm not advising you to speculate in these, but just understand that gold and silver, that's what wealthy people are buying up.
	That's what central banks are buying up because they know what's going to happen with the dollar.
	Now, you can bet that whoever wins this election that's just a couple days away here, whoever wins, you're going to lose freedom and you're going to lose money because the value of the dollar is going to continue to go down.
	That's because both Trump and Kamala are going to continue to print money like mad.
	Trump printed trillions when he was president.
	Massive government debt spending.
	Joe Biden, same thing.
	Kamala is just a low IQ puppet of the establishment.
	She's probably incapable of doing basic integer math anyway, so she will just sign whatever they put in front of her, kind of like Joe Biden.
	She's like a version of Joe Biden, about the same cognition capability, even as Joe Biden has lost his mind.
	Regardless of who's president, they're going to steal your money, they're going to steal your productivity, they're going to steal your dollar, and they're going to do it through debt printing.
	There is no exception to that.
	There is nobody that's going to become president that is going to preserve the value of the dollar and make your dollars worth more.
	That is never going to happen.
	This country will collapse.
	Before anything like that ever happens.
	And it will collapse.
	And when it does collapse, understand that if you have a government pension, it's toast.
	If you have Social Security, it's toast.
	I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is what happens.
	When nations go bankrupt and it has happened hundreds of times in human history and it's shaping up to happen again.
	It's just fiscal cause and effect.
	It's economics like gravity.
	It happens when governments They confiscate money from people and they write the people a bunch of IOUs.
	It's like, oh yeah, one day we'll give you back a portion of the Social Security money that we stole from you, which they did not put in a fund somewhere.
	They just used it.
	They burned it.
	They spent it on waste and fraud and war.
	And it's gone.
	So they just owe you that money.
	Well, how do they even expect to get that money?
	Well, they're going to confiscate it from the next generation.
	Well, guess what?
	At some point, the dollar collapses and, you know, you open the vaults like Geraldo and they're all empty.
	There's nothing in there.
	You have no Social Security.
	You have no Medicare.
	You have no pension.
	You have no benefits, okay?
	Well, that day is coming for all Americans who are on these government payrolls and pensions and benefits.
	And when that day comes, of course, it's going to be just panic and chaos, and I don't think we're that far away at this point, and neither does Doug Casey.
	We don't know when it is, obviously.
	No one can name the day or the hour, but we know the season.
	The season is here.
	We know this is coming.
	So the interesting thing is that people who have gold and silver will find the value of those metals rising so much that it will compensate for the losses they experienced in losing their pensions and Social Security and retirement funds and things like that.
	Which is why wise people are getting gold and silver.
	It makes a lot of sense.
	I mean, how much has gold gone up since just early 2022?
	Well, it was under two thousand dollars then.
	What is it now?
	It's almost twenty eight hundred dollars.
	So it's, you know, it's gone up 45 plus percent, something like that, in less than two years?
	Right.
	Now, remember, that's not really gold gaining value as much as it is just dollars losing value.
	So your dollar has collapsed in this time and gold is just representing that.
	In other words, one dollar is now worth about 1 28 hundredths of an ounce of gold.
	Two years ago, that one dollar was worth a lot more.
	One two thousandth of an ounce of gold.
	So you see where this is going.
	Won't be long before a dollar is worth one four-thousandth of an ounce of gold, and a pound of hamburger, you know, will be $30 or whatever the case may be, or a cooked hamburger at a restaurant might be $50.
	You see where this is going.
	And most people will hold on to their dollars, and they will remain delusional all the way to zero.
	As the plane is plummeting out of the sky, they will look out the window and say, well, we must be flying.
	I still see the wings, you know.
	But they're not functioning.
	You know, you've lost thrust.
	You have no engine power.
	So this plane's going down.
	Well, that's what's happening to the dollar.
	It is going down because you can't change the laws of physics.
	You can't change the laws of gravity or economics or thermodynamics or aerodynamics.
	So it's going to zero.
	And anybody left holding it is going to end up holding zero.
	Mark my words, that's where this is going.
	And I've heard naysayers say things like, well, why should I just buy gold?
	Why should I spend money on gold?
	Like that question shows such incredible ignorance.
	It's just the level of delusion in that question is off the charts.
	First of all, Dollars are not money, so you're not spending money to buy gold.
	What you're doing is you're exchanging fiat currency, which is not money, for real money, which is gold.
	So the real question that person is asking is, well, why should I trade worthless paper fiat currency for real money that has intrinsic value?
	Once you rephrase the question that way, then you understand how important this is.
	Because if you're sitting on dollars, you're sitting on fiat currency, paper money or digital money that has no intrinsic value whatsoever and is being routinely devalued By the hour by the federal government.
	Just go to usdebtclock.org if you don't believe me.
	usdebtclock.org and you can see how fast the dollars are being printed and how quickly the value is vanishing.
	Check it out.
	You'll be astonished.
	And once you do that, you realize that, wow, the only real money out there is gold and silver.
	And you could argue Bitcoin as well because it has certain properties such as non-counterfeit ability and non-confiscate ability and so on.
	But this isn't about Bitcoin right now.
	I just want to include that.
	It's an honest distributed ledger, which makes it qualify as a different form of real money.
	Dollars are not money.
	By definition, they do not hold value.
	So when you, quote, buy gold, what you're doing is you're exchanging something that has no value, dollars, or that has no intrinsic value, I should say, dollars, for something that has real intrinsic value, gold, which will always have value, even though dollars will go to zero.
	So if you know there's a fiat currency that's going to go to zero, i.e.
	dollars, why wouldn't you want to trade them for something that has value while you still can?
	Because there will come a day where you can't trade dollars for gold unless you have a lot of dollars.
	And that will be reflected as a gold price of $5,000 an ounce or $10,000 or $50,000 an ounce.
	And eventually gold will go to $100,000 an ounce.
	And eventually it's an infinite number because the dollar has collapsed to zero.
	And that day is coming.
	So while you can trade You can swap dollars for gold right now by purchasing gold, you could say, before the masses realize what has happened.
	When the masses want gold, you won't be able to find anywhere.
	When the masses want silver, you know, it's gone.
	The time to buy gold and silver is before the masses panic and before the dollar collapses to zero.
	And that time is right now.
	Right now, there's still an opportunity to do that.
	So, again, our sponsor of that space is the Treasure Island Company, metalswithmike.com.
	Or you can go to rangerdeals.com and you can see the other formats, such as prepper bars or goldbacks, which are Formats that have more utility and more divisibility, but of course, there's a premium associated with those versus the price of gold and silver coins or gold and silver bars, which have the lowest premium, you know, because it costs money to manufacture a gold back, let's say.
	So that premium is, of course, incorporated into the retail price of that format.
	Or it takes extra money to manufacture a prepper bar, you know?
	So it's more than obviously the spot price of silver or the price of a silver coin.
	So look at prices.
	Look at ounces.
	Look at what your goals are.
	Are you trying to stockpile or stack, as they say, just raw ounces or Or do you want divisibility?
	Do you want something that can be broken into smaller pieces of a near-pure metal?
	Think about your goals.
	And I recommend people look at how you plan to use this in the future.
	If you plan to use metals to go to the farmer's market, let's say, and buy corn or bread or frozen beef or whatever, well, do you want a gold coin?
	Do you want a one-ounce gold coin that's worth, maybe at that time, $5,000?
	How are you going to make change, right?
	So a gold coin is useful for buying things or trading for things that have very high value, like A ranch or a business or a vehicle or a home, things that cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, let's say.
	Silver is more useful.
	In trading or bartering for everyday things like a sandwich, you know, or a tire or 50 rounds of 9mm ammo.
	You see what I mean?
	And frankly, 9mm ammo is also a very useful barter item because it will have intrinsic value as who doesn't need some more 9mm ammo, right?
	So think about this.
	Think about the formats that you need.
	I recommend looking at a diversity of formats.
	But if you just want to stack maximum gold and silver ounces, then you don't even want American Eagle U.S. Mint.
	For that, you want offshore mints that are less expensive.
	They have a lower premium.
	You know, Cougarans, for example, or kangaroos, or what have you, you know.
	There are different coin mints around the world, and you can check out the prices.
	Just go to metalswithmike.com, and you can see what's available.
	You can see the mints, you can see the coins, the different sizes, different, you know, one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce, tenth ounce, or even junk silver, which is the pre-1965 constitutional silver.
	And a lot of people like that format.
	Or you can consider, you know, prepper bars or goldbacks.
	Just look at the options.
	RangerDeals.com is where you can find a lot of these.
	I do indicate on that website, by the way, I indicate whether a company is a sponsor or they are an affiliate arrangement or there's no affiliate arrangement, etc.
	Some of the companies listed there we have no arrangement with other than they offer a discount code.
	There's a discount code there for the prepper bars, by the way.
	It's 10% off.
	So you can take advantage of that if you want.
	Check it out.
	Do your research.
	Look at how much gold and silver you're going to need to live down the road.
	What's your monthly expense in terms of expenditure of gold or silver?
	And work on stacking enough gold and silver so that you can live for a few years if you have to spend gold and silver as your only source of real money.
	Because when the dollar collapses, the dollar won't be useful at all.
	A bank account will be pointless if it's in dollars.
	Cash in dollars will become pointless, worthless at some point.
	I don't know when that day is, but I know it's coming.
	And Doug Casey knows it's coming as well.
	So watch also for my interview with Doug Casey.
	It's coming up in the next couple of days.
	I think you'll really find it extremely valuable.
	And thank you for listening.

	Get prepared and take care.
	All right, this is a podcast about RFK Jr.
	and Donald Trump, health and human services, reforms, you know, the coming financial demise of the U.S. empire, and so much more.
	Let me say for the record a couple of things, just to be clear here.
	I've said, in years past, I've said RFK Jr.
	is an American hero, and I believe that.
	I supported his book.
	I interviewed him many times.
	And I believe that he has in his heart a desire to help protect children, especially, and to protect America.
	And I think he's a net very positive force for America.
	I think that him joining with Trump is a game changer and that if Trump wins, I think that tremendous credit is owed to RFK Jr.
	and his team.
	I've also voted for Trump twice I believe that Trump has a positive heart for America and both RFK Jr.
	and Trump have been maliciously attacked, smeared, censored, prosecuted in the case of Trump, lawfare weapons unleashed against them at a degree that has never been witnessed before in the history of this nation.
	The bureaucracies Many of America despise RFK Jr.
	and Donald Trump, and that alone is one good reason why these two men deserve our support.
	Now, that said, my criticisms of RFK Jr.
	and Trump are also legitimate.
	And they primarily focus on the fact that both of them are heavily funded by wealthy Zionist donors who demand censorship of any criticism of Israel.
	And as a result, both RFK Jr.
	and Donald Trump Absolutely refuse to call out Israel's obvious genocide against women and children and elderly in Gaza, in Palestine, you know, in Lebanon, etc.
	This is noteworthy and it must be mentioned.
	It is a significant part of the equation and it shows how very good men Can still be swayed into silence on very important issues when there is a lot of money involved and the money is necessary to win a victory for a bigger picture kind of victory for America and humanity.
	It gets complicated.
	The morality of this gets complicated.
	But I have stated that because I'm in Texas and because the electoral votes for Trump are not at risk in Texas, I'm going to, at least my current plan, is unless Trump denounces Israel's genocide, I'm going to write in, as a protest vote, I'm going to write in Dr.
	Shiva.
	It does not mean that I do not support RFK Jr.
	I absolutely support his efforts and what he will do, I believe.
	And I hope Trump wins.
	Dr.
	Shiva does not have a serious chance of victory, but a vote for Dr.
	Shiva can send a message.
	Now, I've been very clear to people that in swing states, I'm encouraging everybody to vote for Trump, especially in Pennsylvania.
	Get out and vote for Trump.
	If I were living in Pennsylvania, I would vote for Trump.
	But because I'm living in a relatively safe red state, I'm going to issue a protest vote.
	And that's just, I think that's a way to send a message.
	And the message is important.
	Because if Trump wins and RFK Jr.
	will be put in charge of, I think, choosing the personnel of HHS and FDA and NIH and CDC and so on, that they need to know that people like us in independent media, we're not just giving them a pass on being silent about the genocide happening in Palestine.
	If you care about children, you should care about children universally.
	And to Trump, if you care about peace, you have to stop the source of the violence, which since 1948 has been Israel.
	Zionism is the source of much of the violence in the Middle East.
	They initiate the violence.
	They assassinate leaders of other countries.
	They shoot babies in the head.
	They bomb hospitals and civilian centers.
	And the fact that our candidates in America will not even mention this is highly disturbing to me.
	Highly disturbing.
	I don't think, I've said this publicly, I don't think you can make America great again if America is complicit in genocide.
	And I don't think you can make America healthy again If the Maha movement is funded by, in part, the same Zionists who are complicit in the mass murder of babies and children in Gaza.
	These are contradictory ideas.
	They are irreconcilable.
	And so I'm going to continue to point this out.
	And I thank you for hearing me out on this issue.
	I think it's really critical.
	Again, I hope that Trump wins.
	I hope that RFK Jr.
	is put in a position of great authority to choose people and to reform these agencies.
	And I pray, I pray that he won't turn it into a Zionist recruitment field day to just put in more Zionists In top positions in the federal government, which is already seemingly, you know, 70% Zionist anyway.
	Who's running the Federal Reserve?
	Who ran the CDC during COVID? Who ran the FDA for almost all the top FDA administrators?
	These are mostly dual citizen Zionist people.
	And the State Department and so on.
	They put Israel first and they put America last.
	And that's not okay.
	We elect people to represent America, not to fight Israel's wars that they keep provoking with enemies in the Middle East like Iran and Hezbollah and so on.
	And yes, October 7th was allowed to happen by Israel.
	They clearly had to stand down so they could have an excuse to carry out this genocide.
	And it is genocide.
	It is ethnic cleansing.
	There's no question whatsoever.
	The entire world can see it.
	You just call it what it is.
	If it looks like ethnic cleansing and there's a mass slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians and bombing of hospitals and starvation, engineered famine of children, if it looks like ethnic cleansing, it's because it is ethnic cleansing.
	And in my opinion, you can't claim to be a person of high moral standards if you don't call this out, because it's not like it's hidden, and it's not like it's small, it's not like it's just You know, a hundred people somewhere, although even a hundred people, well, their lives count too, but this is probably closer to a hundred thousand people by the time all the bodies are found, if they're ever found.
	And according to some analysts, it may be much more.
	I work to protect humanity.
	I work to help Americans.
	My company, with the help of our readers, donated over $558,000 worth of emergency food.
	Well, let me clarify.
	So far, we raised that amount.
	We have physically donated out About $300,000 of that food.
	We have another $100,000 that is being initiated now on route to Florida to a staging area in Florida to prepare for distribution there with the SRP24 organizer Steve Slepsovich and his companies.
	We're also beginning to distribute in Central Texas to other ministries.
	So we are probably getting close to $450,000 distributed shortly out of that $558,000 that we raised.
	I want to be clear.
	I want to be accurate about that.
	So that'll put us at about a little over $100,000 of food still in reserve.
	Looking for the opportunities of where to send that food, okay?
	So I have a feeling there will be no shortage of opportunities of where people need help.
	So we're going to hold on to that 100,000 over the next few weeks, watch what happens post-election, etc., and see where it needs to go.
	But I want to say I support humanity.
	I support Americans first because that's what's necessary.
	I support Texans.
	I support North Carolinians.
	I help support Floridians and so on.
	We've got to protect the border.
	We've got to get rid of the illegals.
	We've got to restore the rule of law in America.
	We have got to achieve these important goals.
	We've also got to arrest the treasonous actors who rigged elections, and we've got to have honest elections.
	We have to have paper ballots, nationwide voter ID, and we need to put election cheaters in prison for life, in my opinion, if they are found guilty in a court of law.
	So I'm with Trump.
	On all these efforts.
	I'm just saying that we can't also, we can't run around the world providing bombs and weapons to terror states like Israel that are fomenting violence and war in the Middle East and then they expect us to come rescue them when they get in trouble because Iran has advanced ballistic missiles.
	Alright, so that's my position on that.
	So, human compassion matters.
	Morality matters.
	It matters more than anything.
	In politics and money, morality matters.
	That's your currency with God, by the way.
	That's what you take with you when you go one day is your behavior, your deeds, your moral principles.
	That's your currency with God and that determines your inheritance in heaven, by the way.
	That's a spiritual truth that we all need to remember.
	Now getting back to RFK Jr.
	and Trump.
	RFK Jr., by changing the personnel at HHS and FDA and CDC, NIH, NIAID, etc., USDA, EPA, possibly, by changing the personnel there, let me be clear, I fully support him and that effort, and it can make a difference.
	For a period of time, but, and I don't mean this as any kind of insult whatsoever to RFK Jr., because I think he'll approach this with a sense of real integrity and positive intention, but in my opinion, this is kind of, ultimately, it's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, and what I mean by that is that the U.S. Empire is done.
	The dollar is going to collapse.
	The reputation of the U.S. empire globally is in the garbage.
	The U.S. empire has lost its moral high ground, partially by funding Israel.
	This is all connected.
	But also by the facts that the U.S. empire has not been a legitimate government since the 2020 election rigging.
	And so when I say the U.S. empire, I'm not referring to the people of America.
	I'm referring to the criminal cabal that stole the election and put their own criminals in power like Joe Biden.
	And they also stole the elections, the midterms in 2018 and 2022.
	This has been going on for decades, actually, since the rise of the voting machines.
	They've been rigging every election since then.
	And maybe even before that, they've been rigging elections for a very long time.
	The U.S. used to run around the world bombing countries into submission and using economic sanctions.
	I mean, they still do this, but its effectiveness is vanishing.
	So the way the U.S. actually has operated since the post-World War II era is the U.S. de-industrialized over time, especially during the 1990s.
	Rapid de-industrialization.
	Combined with currency warfare around the world, economic sanctions, and using projection of power through the U.S. Navy to bomb other nations into submission, to assassinate their leaders like Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein, you know, etc.,
	to wage wars based on false premises, such as a desert storm, you know, weapons of mass destruction, all completely fabricated by the deep state, the George Bush, you know, That whole operation, Donald Rumsfeld, these people.
	And the U.S. Empire has run itself as an empire of terror and coercion globally for decades.
	And the primary weapons are currency weapons, military weapons, and information weapons, you know, info warfare, infowars.
	That day is coming to an end.
	And as that comes to an end, especially as the U.S. currency becomes irrelevant, we will go into a phase of massive money printing hyperinflation followed by currency collapse and the dissolution of the centralized government in Washington, D.C. And it's very possible that Trump could find himself president of nothing within his first four years here.
	I mean, you know, I guess you could call it his third term, although he didn't serve his second term, but this would be his third term.
	He could end up being president of nothing because the country could fall apart and could be dismantled.
	And in fact, this is a very likely scenario.
	The reason this is relevant is because this is frankly the only way to dismantle the bureaucracy The only way to dismantle the FDA, the CDC, the EPA, the USDA, DEA, ATF, etc., is through total defunding of the federal government, and that is going to happen organically.
	That's inevitable.
	It's like an approaching comet.
	I mean, that would be a good metaphor.
	It's on its way.
	The collision is going to happen.
	The dollar is going to collapse.
	The entire federal government will defund itself.
	And that will stop dollar-based terror.
	Money printing, dollar printing, has enabled all this terror.
	FDA and CDC terror against the American people.
	DOD terror in building biological weapons.
	Plus funding Ukraine and funding Israel and Israel's terrorism and genocide against the people of Palestine and Lebanon, many of whom are Christians, by the way.
	So it is the collapse of the dollar that will finally end the terrorism of the U.S. empire.
	Until that day comes, people like Trump and RFK Jr., yeah, they can nibble around the edges.
	And again, I don't mean any disrespect in saying that.
	Nobody can solve this problem.
	It is only total collapse of the system that will end the reign of terror of the U.S. Empire.
	But RFK Jr.
	will do his best.
	Trump, I believe, will do his best.
	I hope he doesn't get swayed by a bunch of deep state fakers and backstabbers like what happened in his first administration.
	But at the end of the day, Trump can't save America.
	RFK can't save America.
	Nobody, no political party can save America.
	The GOP hates America, by the way.
	Not as much as the Democrats hate America, but the GOP doesn't love America.
	I'm talking about the RINOs, the establishment.
	The Libertarians can't save America.
	The Christians can't save America.
	Far too many of them are pro-genocide anyway.
	You know, America is not going to be saved by the government.
	The government's going to collapse, and it's going to be a chaotic, catastrophic collapse, and many millions of Americans will not survive that, by the way.
	That's what's coming if something else doesn't interrupt everything first with a nuclear war or an EMP weapon or a false flag attack or a cyber attack or a financial collapse or something else.
	And all those things have some likelihood as well.
	But even if none of those happen, given enough time, the dollar collapses, the U.S. defaults on its debt, the treasuries go belly up, And the government has no money to fund its own operations.
	And that means all the employees of the FBI, the FDA, you know, etc., all these agencies, they don't get paid.
	Their pensions go tits up.
	Their benefits are gone.
	It's done.
	And those people go try to find some other work to survive.
	And that day is coming.
	And frankly, that day...
	Will be noted in history as a day of ending an empire of terror, which is sadly what the U.S. empire has become.
	And once again, I don't mean the American people.
	I'm talking about the illegitimate criminal cabal that has seized power over the United States of America through rigged elections and other means, information warfare, censorship, and so on.
	That regime will come to an end.
	And the future of our world in terms of economics, military power projection, as well as trade, that future belongs to China, Russia, India, Turkey, Iran, Brazil, you know, BRICS nations.
	That's very clear at this point.
	The U.S. does not have a bright future.
	Because it just, well, since 1971, you took the dollar off the gold standard and it's just a matter of time before the system collapses.
	So thank you, Richard Nixon, you know, and everybody that came after him that destroyed the whole system.
	Trump is not going to balance the budget.
	Not a chance.
	Trump's just going to print more money and accelerate the debt even more and talk about how the stock market is good while the dollar is collapsing.
	Gold and silver are going to skyrocket.
	And eventually we know how this ends.
	This ends in currency collapse and then massive social revolt, probably a breakup of the United States of America.
	And that's what the globalists want.
	So all this debt spending and the open borders operations, all of it, you know, and all these senators and members of Congress that kept voting for more spending, all they were voting for was the demise of the United States of America.
	And that day is coming.
	Trump and RFK Jr., I wish them prayers and blessings for what they can accomplish.
	I would much rather have Trump in the White House when the empire ends than any Democrat or any rhino for that matter.
	So, you know, Trump's probably a good person to have there when this event comes.
	Nobody could stop this.
	I've interviewed Dr.
	Shiva too.
	Dr.
	Shiva can't stop this.
	Nobody can stop this.
	There's nobody that can end the demise.
	So just get prepared for what's coming.
	And pray that we can make it through this and maybe there's a chance of restoring the nation.
	After all this, or sort of relaunching it with a new currency, a new gold-backed currency, is a possibility.
	So, just stay tuned.
	We'll see what happens.
	Thank you for listening.

	Take care.
	Welcome to today's interview here on brighttown.com and I'm really honored to be joined today by someone who I have learned from over the years.
	I've watched many of his videos and he is widely respected as an expert on commodities and also metals.
	He's known as the international man.
	Doug Casey is his name.
	His website is internationalman.com.
	He's got a YouTube channel we'll talk about coming up and he joins us from South America at the moment.
	Welcome, Mr.
	Casey.
	It's an honor to have you on today, sir.
	Well, I appreciate that, but don't call me Mr.
	Casey.
	That was my father.
	Okay.
	All right, Doug.
	It's an honor to have you on, and you are, I think, very widely regarded for your wisdom, your expertise in navigating these very difficult times in which we're living, especially on the financial side.
	But for our audience, this is the first time you and I have spoken.
	How would you give a summary of what you do to our audience?
	Okay, well, I think I'm best known as an author, and my first book was called The International Man, a guidebook to making the most of your personal freedom and financial opportunity.
	Among other things, that book was distinguished by being the largest-selling book in the history of Rhodesia.
	Really?
	Wow.
	Yes, and that is a record that will never be broken for obvious reasons.
	My second book was called Crisis Investing, which was number one on the New York Times list.
	Back when that meant something, it doesn't anymore.
	I think 29 weeks or something like that, the biggest-selling book of the year.
	And several other books since then.
	And then, of course, I've written three novels subsequently, recently, because there are things that you can say in fiction that perhaps you'd best not say in nonfiction.
	So I do that, and I have a weekly blog at internationalman.com.
	It's a very good thing with lots of Other good writers, like David Stockman is a friend of mine, writes there every week, among others.
	And what else do I do?
	I have a YouTube channel.
	But mainly what I do personally is speculate in the markets, and I specialize in commodities and small resource stocks.
	Well, that's interesting.
	So that's the story.
	Okay, alright, so let me give out your YouTube channel.
	It's called Doug Casey's Take here on YouTube.
	Easy for people to find.
	And then one of the novels you mentioned here, I've got it on Audible.
	It's called Speculator High Ground Book One.
	I think this is a series you have.
	And then back to your main website, internationalman.com.
	So you must be getting...
	A lot of messages from people lately, given what's happening to gold and silver.
	All-time highs.
	But the mainstream public is not panicking to purchase gold and silver like they were after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank a little more than a year and a half ago.
	So the buying seems to be central banks.
	But what's your take on what's driving...
	Gold and silver versus devaluation of the dollar.
	What are the main forces at work here?
	Essentially, fear and prudence.
	Odd that those two things would be the two main drivers, fear and prudence, because they're opposites of each other in some ways.
	But gold is It's a financial asset that is not simultaneously somebody else's liability.
	Of course, that's also true of Bitcoin.
	I'm a big fan of Bitcoin, have been since 2017 anyway.
	So that is what's driving the market.
	People realize increasingly that the dollar is the unbacked liability of a bankrupt government.
	And the US government is truly bankrupt.
	So that people with any prudence are dumping dollars and going into a stable, solid, tangible asset.
	So far, that doesn't include the retail public anywhere.
	It's said, and I believe it, that most of the buying is coming from central banks.
	Central banks around the world, their major asset for banks, For many, many years, ever since Bretton Woods, has been dollars.
	But they have no reason to trust the US government and its fiat currency.
	So they're unloading their dollars.
	And what are they going to buy with it?
	Well, they have to buy a monetary instrument.
	Can't buy cattle.
	Can't buy wheat.
	Can't buy lead.
	Can't buy artwork.
	Real estate isn't a monetary asset suitable for a central bank.
	Gold.
	They're buying gold.
	And they'll be buying a lot more of it in the future and dumping a lot more dollars in the future.
	So that's it in a nutshell.
	All right.
	So how much of this central bank purchasing of gold, for example, by China in particular, do you think is driven by, and I'm going to open a Pandora's box for you here for commentary on, The BRICS nations and their proposed settlement system, which, according to some reports, is supposed to be backed, I believe, 40% by gold and 60% by a basket of currencies of participating nations.
	Is that an imminent threat to the dollar?
	Is it more like 10 years?
	Is it long rollout?
	Is it possibly fraught with technical obstacles?
	Talk about gold, central banks, and BRICS versus the dollar, if you would, please.
	Well, yes.
	Since that meeting in Russia, they've come up with this idea of a BRICS currency.
	And that makes a lot of sense, in a way, because they want to get rid of the dollar.
	The dollar is the major export of the U.S. It's not Boeing's.
	It's not agricultural products.
	It's not IBM computers.
	Dollars are a major export.
	Those nice Japanese send us cars and we give them dollars, but the cars are real.
	The dollars can be printed up and are being printed up out of nothing.
	Nobody knows what the number is, but 20, 30 trillion US dollars are floating around outside the US, but they're hot potatoes.
	As the Russians found, if you have a lot of assets that are available to the US, They just might disappear on you.
	That's right.
	So, of course, they don't want to...
	The Chinese and the Russians don't want to have to use the dollar to trade between themselves, because those trades necessarily go through New York, and the US government knows everything.
	Yeah, so that's why they've talked about coming up with their own currency.
	Will it work?
	No, it's not going to work.
	And the reason, even if it's 40 percent backed by gold, look, it's a cockamamie scheme to clutter things up with gold is money.
	Before the last depression, everything was settled in gold.
	Period.
	And it was the fractional reserve system and the banking system that was one of the things that screwed that up.
	But these governments have no reason to trust each other or each other's currencies.
	So we should get back to using gold.
	Period.
	But governments don't want to do that.
	Because the ability to print up funny money is a fantastic way for them to control their subjects.
	I don't think this new funny money currency that they're coming up with will work for the long run.
	Of course, the euro was created out of thin air, and it's worked for quite a while, but it's going to collapse too.
	Yes, yes.
	Here's gold, period.
	End of story.
	Okay, so let me ask you then, on a practical note, let's say Russia and China are trading with each other.
	Russia's exporting energy, but Russia's buying electronics or whatever from China.
	And so they would use their own currencies, right?
	They could just use their own currencies, but then imbalances could be settled in gold.
	Is that the way you're thinking it might work?
	Or how would that actually work?
	Well, let's get down to the basics.
	It used to be that the dollar and the franc and the mark and the lira, these were just names for specific amounts of gold in certain countries.
	And then people confused these things.
	The dollar actually should cease to exist.
	People should deal in just grams of gold.
	The government shouldn't be involved in money at all, period.
	What's the government bring to the party when it comes to money?
	Nothing but corruption.
	That's right.
	Not necessary.
	In fact, I'll go further.
	Almost everything that the government does is either unnecessary or actively counterproductive.
	The government is force.
	It's coercion.
	Like Mao Tse-sung said, it comes out of the barrel of a gun.
	And in a civilized society, you want to limit force and coercion.
	So what should the government do?
	If you're going to have a government, it should protect you from force.
	And that means force abroad, which means a defense system.
	From force inside the country, which means a police force.
	And a means of adjudicating disputes without resorting to force.
	That means a court system.
	And, frankly, a government shouldn't do anything else.
	Absolutely not money or the monetary system, or for that matter, schools.
	That's another disaster.
	Sure.
	It doesn't matter.
	But what we see today, of course, in our government is that it is engaged in weaponizing itself against the people, of course.
	So the government uses force and coercion domestically against the people as well as internationally, such as seizing Russia's deposits by cutting them off from the SWIFT system.
	And then the Western government say, well, we didn't seize their funds, we immobilized them.
	Okay, you immobilized them.
	All right.
	And now you're using them as the basis to generate interest and use the interest to give money to Ukraine.
	But that's not theft.
	Just to be clear, Doug, apparently that's not theft.
	I agree with you.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the system is completely insane, but gold can free us from that.
	Bitcoin has clearly a role to play in that no government can counterfeit the blockchain.
	And if you have self-custody of your own keys, then they also cannot confiscate from you through just sending a letter to your bank and saying, you know, we're freezing your accounts.
	So how could the world achieve some kind of financial freedom through a combination of gold and perhaps Bitcoin?
	Well, you're going to need to change the core philosophy of most people.
	And I'm afraid that's going to be very hard to do.
	Most people have been programmed to believe that the government is their friend, the government's their protector, it's their big brother.
	Worse than that, it's a cornucopia that can magically produce goods.
	So, you've got to get this idea of the state and government out of people's minds, where people don't look to it for magic solutions.
	In fact, it's much worse than that.
	The kind of people that go into government, that want to be in government, that want to be politicians, are professional busybodies that like to Tell other people what to do and think that they actually know how to guide other people's lives for them.
	So it's the worst kind of people that are inevitably drawn to government.
	You go to Washington, D.C., it's like the crime capital of the country.
	Actually, the crime capital of the world.
	I would say the world, yeah.
	I would say the world.
	Congress passes tens of billions of dollars for Ukraine or Israel, and then we know some significant portion of that just gets laundered back to the pockets of the senators who voted for it and so on.
	Possibly some of it through Bitcoin or gold, come to think of it, because they know those have privacy or more privacy.
	But let's talk about Trump for a second.
	You're absolutely right.
	Yes.
	You're absolutely right.
	But Trump, so...
	Trump engaged in record debt spending in his first term.
	He wanted to artificially lower interest rates at the Federal Reserve in order to further the stock market boom.
	I am under no illusion, but a lot of people think that Trump is their savior and that he will save America.
	I would like you to answer, and feel free to speak, agree or disagree, you're not going to be censored here at all.
	And again, I'm not a Trump worshiper, don't think I am.
	If Trump were to apply the policies that he wants, fiscally, what would be the ramifications, if he were to win, over the next four plus years?
	What would happen in America, in your view?
	Well, a disaster.
	Just not as bad a disaster and a somewhat different kind of disaster than if Kamala is elected.
	The trouble with Trump is that fundamentally he doesn't have any philosophical core.
	He's an ex-liberal Democrat who has never He doesn't have any core beliefs of any type, quite frankly.
	He's kind of a chimera.
	Now, a lot of the things he says, I like, obviously.
	And he's vastly better than the Democratic opposition.
	And you'll recall when he first came out wanting to be president, was it 2012?
	He had to make a decision.
	Do I want to join the Democrats or the Republicans?
	Like I said, he doesn't have any sound or even any philosophical position, number one.
	And when it comes to economics, he's actually a complete disaster.
	The deficits that he ran and promoted when he was in office were proportionally bigger than those that the horrible Biden regime ran.
	He's always said, I'm a big debt guy.
	I'm a low interest rate guy.
	You know, he's got all kinds of cockamamie economic ideas.
	The only good thing about him from that point of view is that he likes the idea of lower taxes.
	Okay, that's good.
	But at the same time, he likes the idea of high spending.
	He doesn't understand that when the government runs deficits, The government is going to get its taxes, whether it's through direct taxation or inflation.
	So he doesn't understand that.
	So, no, he's going to be an economic disaster.
	And if he tries to finance the deficits with import duties, he will really bring on another depression immediately.
	Just like the last depression was...
	Brought on by the Smutawly tariffs.
	They raised import duties.
	People could not sell to us.
	Therefore, they did not have the money to buy from us or buy from anybody else.
	And it collapsed the world economy.
	Trade is what makes the mayor go.
	He doesn't understand that.
	So, look, he's actually a dirigiste.
	He thinks he has great ideas to how to manipulate the economy.
	They're certainly better than those that Kemala has.
	Look, we're caught between Scylla and Charybdis.
	The reason I basically support Trump is that he is a conservative in the sense of being a cultural conservative.
	He doesn't want to overthrow the nature of what's left of America, which the Democrats do.
	They want to have a cultural revolution.
	All that applies.
	I mean, in his ideal world, we'd go back That's good enough in today's world.
	Yeah, and he's also, at least his rhetoric is strong on border protection, although he did not secure the border in his first term.
	But for myself as a Texan, illegals are a very big deal in states like Texas and Arizona.
	And honestly, the illegals are all over the roads, crashing into people.
	They have no insurance, they have no driver's license, and they never get prosecuted.
	And even law enforcement tells me they can't do anything unless the federal government will take the illegals on and do something with them.
	So that's one area where Trump could help.
	But I'm glad you mentioned about Trump's fiscal ignorance.
	I think he needs a crash course in Austrian economics to start with, you know, or economics 101, some libertarian economics.
	You can't manipulate...
	He's too pig-headed to learn, frankly.
	Yeah.
	And he doesn't read things.
	I mean, that's a fact, I think.
	So forget about it.
	Well, and also there's this tendency to think that we can solve these problems with central planning and that money comes from nothing without consequence.
	And that will end.
	And I'd like you to speak to that.
	How long can this go on where we're doing a trillion dollars every 100 days or so, which might accelerate to a trillion dollars in new debt every...
	30 days, you know, soon.
	Who knows?
	There's a point where this ends.
	What does that look like?
	Well, I think we're right there right now.
	But of course, look, when I first started looking at these things and learning about them in the early 70s, even then, it looked scary.
	And people were making predictions about Gloom and doom, even back then, for all kinds of good reasons.
	But the ball has kept rolling for another 50 years since then.
	So why should it stop rolling now?
	Well, I think it will.
	Because only 20 years ago, the government was running deficits of $20 billion a year.
	$30 billion a year, even.
	Now we're up to 2 trillion a year, and it's all being financed by selling that debt to the central bank, to the Fed.
	And when the government sells debt to the central bank, to the Fed, it credits the US government's accounts at commercial banks with new money, and that money goes into society.
	So how much longer can this continue?
	Well, gee, maybe, maybe, I hate to pick the day and the hour.
	I don't think anybody can do that.
	Well, there are so many variables that we don't control that can come into this.
	There are disastrous, accelerationist type of decisions that could be made that make it arrive more quickly, or there could be delays in this system.
	So I'm not demanding that you pick a day or anything like that, but I'm just more asking about the nature of what that's going to look like.
	Are we going to see a hyperinflationary era of just insane printing with people still getting pension checks, for example, but not being able to afford a loaf of bread with the whole check?
	Things like that?
	Well, the only way the government can support itself at this point is by printing money.
	Taxes?
	Can they take income taxes and other direct taxes higher?
	Well, I suppose they can, but the US government already takes about 40-45% of all the money in the country and cycles it through itself.
	Taxes?
	No.
	Selling more debt?
	To whom?
	Right, right.
	Basically, it's to the Fed.
	And if they don't inflate the currency, this huge inverse pyramid built on debt is going to collapse.
	So it's long been said that the government has no choice.
	It's inflate or die.
	So how much more can they inflate?
	I think they're close to the edge.
	But...
	That's why I've been buying gold for a long time, never sold an ounce, and I will continue buying gold because it's real money.
	I buy silver too, and I speculate in other commodities from time to time.
	But, you know, let me go back to something before we forget it about the migrant problem.
	I'm not against new people coming to the U.S. The problem is that there's two problems.
	Number one, the people that are coming to the U.S. now, there's a cultural clash between them and traditional America.
	They don't have Traditional American values, they're of a different race, they're of a different religion, they're of a totally different culture, beliefs, everything's different about them.
	This is very unlike the immigration that we had in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were all Europeans that shared culture, shared values, shared all these basic things.
	So that made it much easier for them to integrate, number one.
	Just as important, more important, I think, is that previous immigrants could land, go through Ellis Island, and good luck.
	Do the best you can.
	Hope you don't starve to death.
	But they didn't.
	These people today are being actively subsidized.
	They've been flown in.
	200,000 Somalis flown in.
	They didn't have the money to fly themselves in.
	They were flown in by NGOs or God knows who.
	And all these other people.
	And they're subsidized once they get here.
	They get free food.
	They get food.
	Free medical.
	They get monthly stipends.
	They get places to live.
	This is totally insane on a number of different grounds.
	That's got to come to an end.
	Well, you got to do more than that.
	Welfare in the US has to be abolished.
	Totally abolished.
	Totally.
	I mean, no money given from the government to anybody or corporations for any reason.
	End of story.
	Of course, that's not going to happen.
	I mean, welfare is so totally entrenched in the corrupt United States that the system's got to collapse, I think, before things change.
	Yeah, I was...
	I was actually doing a podcast earlier about if Trump wins and RFK Jr.
	is given command over HHS reforms.
	So covering FDA, CDC, and maybe even NIH, NIAID, whatever.
	And there's like a thousand agencies.
	Nobody even knows how many there are.
	Not even people who work at those agencies know how many there are.
	But I said, I'm not attacking RFK at all.
	He can do a lot of good, but it's nibbling around the edges.
	It's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
	If you're willing to risk your entire political career, you might get a 0% cut, like a negotiation that ends in no more growth of the budget of the agency.
	And that's considered a cut, as you know, how they speak.
	We need to cut them by 90% or just eliminate them.
	I can't think of a single thing the FDA does that's good for America, or the EPA, or the USDA. All they do is collude with the corporations that poison this country.
	That's all I see.
	They terrorize America.
	You're right.
	The FDA should be renamed the Federal Death Authority.
	It kills more people every year than the Department of Defense does in the typical decade, for God's sake.
	It's true of all these agencies.
	And cutting them back 90% is a mistake.
	Because that's like pruning a poisonous bush.
	Pull it out by the roots and sow Agent Orange where it grew.
	Yeah, well, that's ultimately the conclusion that I come to.
	These agencies have to be ended.
	They're all unconstitutional, by the way.
	And they all end up creating their own unconstitutional laws and regulations, and then they arm themselves with firearms and ballistic vests, and they run around the country like EPA terrorizing farmers who are trying to produce food.
	You know, they are at war with humanity, is the only way I can see it.
	Yeah, I mean, it's true.
	The Department of Agriculture...
	Which is spread like a poison weed.
	It's got 100,000 employees.
	And they don't grow a single bushel of wheat.
	100,000.
	Parasitic bed bugs.
	By just that one agency.
	It's completely out of control at this point.
	And I... I'm afraid that at best, assuming that Trump doesn't go hog wild with his spending and coming up with cockamamie ideas, he'll just slow down the growth of various things in different ways.
	We're headed towards a civil war, frankly.
	Talk to us about that topic.
	When you say civil war, are you talking about right versus left, or rural versus urban, or...
	The people versus the bureaucrats?
	How does that shape up, you think?
	Yeah, well, it could be all of those things.
	It's not going to be like the unpleasantness of 1861 to 1865.
	That was geographically based.
	And incidentally, it wasn't about slavery.
	This is a big misconception.
	Slavery was on everybody's minds and thoughts and talking about it.
	But that wasn't the actual impetus for the Civil War back then.
	No, this is, as you're well aware, I think, Mike, the red people and the blue people cannot talk to each other, even if they're members of the same – They can't have Thanksgiving dinner together.
	Cannot.
	That's right.
	Cannot.
	So the only thing you can do is separate.
	It's ridiculous having a country of 350 million people or whatever it is under one government.
	It's completely insane.
	And calling it democracy, democracy itself is a...
	It's a bad idea.
	It's a surrogate religion for people that have lost their own religion.
	And it's mob rule too.
	Mob rule dressed up in a sports coat.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So you're talking about maybe the breakup of the United States into perhaps regional nation states, which that is a topic that I have a lot of interest in, being a Texan.
	We have the Texit movement, and Texas was once its own republic.
	And it could be again and Texas has its own you know gold and silver deposits and so on and its own ports and things like that but many states don't have those kinds of assets or those capabilities so do you see the possibility of multiple regional new nations rising out of the ashes of the the demise of the United States?
	Oh sure I mean for instance In Southern California, among other places in the Southwest, the days coming when young Chicanos are going to be paying 15 or 20 percent, well, they're already paying 15 percent, 20 percent or more in Social Security taxes to support some old white broad in Massachusetts.
	They're not going to go for that.
	So that could break off into a different state.
	And it doesn't matter if a place has no resources.
	It doesn't matter.
	Japan has no resources to speak of.
	Really, nothing but innovative people.
	Hong Kong, where I lived for years, nothing but a barren rock with a good harbor.
	That's all it was.
	And ignorant, poor Chinese peasants.
	And now, well, until recently, because it's been Pulled it back into China for practical purposes.
	It was about the most prosperous place on the planet.
	Absolutely.
	On the planet.
	So, you know, it could be...
	East Nowheresville, Iowa, do as well as Hong Kong did if you have the proper governance and attitudes.
	That's a really good point because capital and innovation goes to areas Where a structure is correct, where government would have more common sense, and where taxation is limited or nonexistent, and regulatory controls are more reasonable, and so on.
	I mean, like you said, like Hong Kong.
	Hong Kong had been thriving all these years because of capital, attracting capital investment and trade.
	That's why, I think.
	You're absolutely correct.
	And I just got back, as I said earlier, I think, From a month in Southeast Asia.
	And I've been living and traveling in Southeast Asia, especially for, well, most of my life.
	And the strides that they've made are just unbelievable.
	I mean, The most advanced place on the planet, and delightful, too, so that it could be done anywhere, frankly.
	But North America and Europe are so stultified and so concrete-bound at this point, And things are getting worse everywhere.
	Germany is going into collapse, quite frankly.
	100%.
	You know, our mutual friend Michael Jan and I have had so many discussions about Germany.
	How the US destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline, depriving BASF of access to affordable hydrocarbons that they use.
	Western Europe is done, as far as I can tell.
	I don't see them coming back.
	From the self-inflicted demise, much of which was to appease these lunatic, greeny cult members that wanted to de-industrialize and sort of de-civilize Western Europe.
	It's been totally corrupted by lots of different varieties of socialism, and now it's all being compounded with massive immigration of millions of third-worlders.
	If I was a young Nigerian, I would somehow get on a boat and get to Europe because I know that they're going to support me.
	I'll have a place to live.
	I'll be fed.
	I mean, I'd get the hell out of Nigeria.
	And I promise you that in the next decade or two, even if the Europeans don't like it, and of course a lot of them do for some reason because they're psychotic, you're going to have Piling into Europe.
	Yep.
	Absolutely.
	And many people from the Middle East piling into Europe.
	Already seeing that?
	From the Middle East, from everywhere.
	And these are penniless people without skills.
	And that's even not so bad.
	What's bad is, is these stupid Europeans are going to support them.
	Yeah.
	Give places to live and give them stipends and food and medical.
	The same as the U.S. I mean, it's Western civilization has reached a point where it's self-destructing, and I feel very badly about that, because in all the world, Western civilization was the only civilization that was really worth the name.
	Anything that's in second or third place is not even worth talking about.
	Well, I'm glad you're bringing this up, though, because I agree with your assessment that Western civilization has lost the will to survive.
	And it has become a suicide operation at this point.
	But what is it that brought us to that?
	And let me characterize it in a couple of ways before you answer.
	The complete attacks on masculinity.
	So there's not even a male archetype that is accepted in society or in movies or pop culture.
	And how do you protect your borders if you don't have men to protect your borders?
	So it's even bad to say that a man should be a hero of anything anymore.
	That's crazy.
	But is it, you know...
	Also, this apathy and this complacency that since we can print money, that everything should be given to us and we don't have to earn anything.
	What is it, in your view, that led us to this suicide point?
	Yeah, the whole basis of culture has become corrupt.
	Well, it's accepting the premises of socialism.
	It's that it takes a village.
	Individualism is a bad thing.
	It's the whole culture has been undermined by really bad and stupid ideas.
	And where did it begin, really?
	I mean, I'd say that in the education system is really where it started.
	Almost every college and every professor in those colleges They're all leftists or Marxists or communists.
	And it's filtered down to the high schools.
	It's filtered down to the grade schools, frankly.
	And of course, all these people talk to each other in their own bubble and reinforce each other.
	And their students all learn the same things from figures of authority and think that's the way the world works and should work.
	I've been transferred from there into corporations with this DIE and everything and the entertainment industry which further corrupts everything with stupid ideas and makes people think that it's legitimate and everybody believes it when they watch a movie and they see these anti-heroes being heroes.
	So what's the way out of this?
	Well, it's a long road back.
	Well, let me point out that China and Russia in particular are actively rejecting those very things that you just mentioned.
	Japan, though, you know, Japan, as you know, has been for many generations a very closed cultural society, but it's had a lot of Western influences trying to push these themes into Japan, and it's destroying Japan.
	My wife is from Taiwan.
	My wife is an immigrant to the United States.
	And I've seen Taiwan destroyed.
	I wouldn't say destroyed, but negatively influenced by all these Western values as well.
	Whereas if I go to China, not that I've been there since I went to Hong Kong decades ago, but if I were to go to China...
	China's not pushing the same values of LGBT, for example, that Taiwan is pushing because the U.S. exports bad culture, not just bad money.
	The U.S. exports bad culture all over the world, and that destroys family units and societies.
	Would you agree with that, or what would you add to that?
	With great regret, I have to agree with that statement.
	But that's not to say that That the values that the Chinese government puts forward lacks the real stupidities that our government is putting forward, but they're putting forward their own set of stupidities.
	And the same with the Russians.
	Yeah, I'm not celebrating those other countries.
	I'm just saying in this one area, at least they're rejecting sort of Western stupidity, you know?
	Yeah, that's right.
	They're not 100% stupid.
	They're only 50% stupid.
	Well said, yeah.
	But the problem that we have, as I think I mentioned earlier, that the worst kind of people are inevitably drawn into politics.
	They're busybodies that think they can and should control other people.
	So as long as you have politics, you're going to get these criminal personalities that are drawn to it.
	100%.
	Now, let me give out your website again, internationalman.com.
	I want to point out some of your latest articles here.
	You do really thoughtful, detailed articles.
	I love this about your work.
	And, folks, you can visit articles here, internationalman.com.
	Also, your video channel on YouTube, Doug Casey's Take.
	Greatly appreciated.
	Do you offer something...
	I don't know, like a newsletter or a subscription or anything of that kind?
	I'm not aware if you do.
	Yeah, we do.
	Because for many years I was in the newsletter business as giving investment ideas.
	And so Matt Smith and I decided to start up a newsletter again called Crisis Investing.
	And there we talk about, or actually it's Lau Vegas, who's a Lithuanian emigre, who writes that letter mostly, but it's based on my ideas that we talk about.
	What are interesting speculative propositions in the world today?
	So we do have that.
	And we also have a group called The File, P-H-Y-L-E. That's from Neal Stephenson's spectacular novel called Diamond Age, where in that book,
	Stephenson projects Nation-states will mostly collapse, dry up and blow away, and be replaced by files, which are groups of people from any place that get together because they share something that's important to them.
	They could be anything.
	Anything that is of interest would form a file, and it would offer its own Banking and insurance and defense and God knows what.
	There are thousands of possible files that people share an interest or a commonality of values or whatever.
	So, people also sign up and join these files and we have meetings.
	And of course, since people want to have, well, what do I do?
	What do I do to head off this coming calamity?
	So I offer investment propositions that are speculative in nature because that's what I do.
	I'm a speculator and I don't think in today's world it's really possible to be a prudent investor anymore.
	I don't think there's a distinction between being a speculator and an investor.
	Most people confuse being a speculator with being a gambler, quite frankly.
	So you can join the file, and there's a couple levels of it.
	In fact, here in Buenos Aires, this week, there are about 20 or 25 file members that are coming from all over the world to a meeting this Tuesday.
	So it's become quite a A self-supporting social group where people that share values can get together with other people that share the same free market values.
	Oh, go ahead.
	I was just going to say I love that idea, and I do believe that the nation-state structure is demonstrating its obsolescence and how it is actually detrimental to humanity.
	And now that we have the rise of things like distributed, decentralized blockchain money systems, why do we need a central bank?
	We don't need a central bank.
	And there are many other examples of that, you know, information sharing, but decentralization of the food supply, for example, decentralization of medicine.
	These are things that I think can help set humanity free and show that the state is not just obsolete, but the state is actually holding humanity back in many ways.
	That's right.
	That's absolutely right.
	It's not just...
	It's not just a nuisance.
	It's actively destructive.
	And I'm ashamed of my fellow humans that they actually think it's necessary and they support it.
	And they go out and vote and get enthusiastic about these scumbags that want to rule over them.
	Democracy is really such a fraud.
	It's actually one of the most dangerous of political systems.
	It's not like some friends Voting on what restaurant to go to.
	It's more like cannibal friends voting on which one of you to eat.
	That's a better analogy.
	That's right.
	Yeah, if you have cannibal friends.
	Let me shift gears and ask you a specific question about lithium, because I know you talk about commodities.
	I'm a scientist.
	I run a food science lab, and I've taken a special interest in battery technology.
	And I have wanted to invest in some very high-end off-grid battery solutions.
	I found that lithium-ion chemistry is not what I want to buy because it's such a fire hazard.
	And we've seen a lot of fires recently in the United States.
	Warehouses going up in flames and parked cars spontaneously combusting.
	And I found...
	That there's another competing chemistry called sodium ion battery technology.
	Sodium is very widely available across North America.
	And it doesn't have quite the energy density of lithium ion, but it also doesn't burn up.
	So just as a question, In terms of off-grid technologies, I remember there was a lot of buzz about cobalt and copper and lithium when everybody thought the whole world was going to go green, which turned out to be, of course, a nonsense fiction for the most part.
	What do you think the future of battery chemistry might be, and how does that affect the commodities that you pay attention to?
	Well, I'm not on the front line of There are hundreds of companies that are trying to improve the world of batteries.
	If I was going to guess what will actually triumph in the battery world, Carbon facilitated by nanotechnology, frankly, so that we can forget about these dangerous chemicals.
	You know, it was fun in high school chemistry class.
	I don't know if they have any dangerous stuff in chemistry classes anymore, but I always thought it was fun to take a magnesium strip, which you could light on fire with a Bunsen burner, And get the magnesium strip to light a piece of calcium metal, which was much harder to alight, and get it to burn.
	And of course, we never tried moving up the periodic table to sodium and to lithium.
	That would have been a little bit out of control.
	So, using chemicals is...
	Hopefully that's going to be passe.
	And like I said, nanotechnology using carbon, which is the most flexible of...
	I think it's probably the most flexible because of the way it bonds and this type of thing of all the 92 natural elements.
	So the problem will be solved.
	And as a speculation, I haven't followed it recently, but there was a bubble in lithium And what were the lithium prices?
	They went off the chart.
	To what level?
	I forget.
	But way, way up there.
	And then they've collapsed recently.
	And I don't even know if they've come back a little bit yet.
	But there's lots of lithium in the world and it can be mined and there are lots of companies that explore for and develop and also mine lithium.
	I'm not trying to speculate on lithium right now.
	I mainly limit my speculations to small gold mining companies and other commodities like silver and especially uranium.
	I'm very friendly towards uranium.
	Because one way or another, the world is going to need lots more power, unless we slide back into a dark age.
	And by far, the safest, cheapest, and cleanest saying those things about uranium, people are going to say, what?
	That's crazy.
	No, it's not crazy.
	No, I track you on that.
	Go ahead.
	Yep.
	Makes perfect sense to me.
	Yeah, so I'm a big fan of uranium.
	It's going to have another boom, and I own a number of uranium companies of different types.
	And I'm big on oil and gas, but especially natural gas, which is very, very cheap relative to oil.
	And it's basically the same hydrocarbon and these things can be manipulated and so forth.
	So cheaper is better.
	And also natural gas, for what it's worth, is the cleanest of the hydrocarbon fuels.
	So I'm looking at lots of interesting things out there today.
	Well, let me bring this in.
	I'm really glad you mentioned that because I believe that we could be entering an era of micro-reactors.
	I want to bring this up, the eVinci micro-reactor.
	This is from Westinghouse, which this is sort of, it can fit in like a garage bay, let's say.
	And I think this fuel needs to be replaced about once every seven years, right?
	So that's it, you know, your battery pack, which is uranium-based.
	You swap it out every seven years, and it can supply power to an entire neighborhood.
	So we're talking about decentralization.
	We're talking about very different, much safer nuclear reactor designs compared to the old three-mile island that everybody freaked out about in the 70s.
	I agree with you.
	I mean, uranium power, we're talking about mass-to-energy conversion.
	It does not emit carbon.
	The energy density is enormous.
	You can power cities with tiny amounts of mass, and even if you have to store radioactive waste after the fact, it's a minuscule amount of space for storing that for long-term decay.
	It's all true.
	I completely agree with your assessment.
	I think it's the greenest, cleanest, and ultimately it can be the safest fuel if it's in the right structure, the correctly designed nuclear generator.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that is the future, actually.
	And it's just politics.
	Because if the average person who's been propagandized against nuclear by really stupid people with, I think, bad intentions...
	Many of them.
	If the government wasn't in a position to enforce its mandates, you'd have lots of different companies manufacturing these things.
	I mean, nuclear reactors have been used in naval vessels now for, oh, my God.
	Many decades.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Over 60 years.
	More than that, actually.
	So the technologies are very developed.
	It's basically the state and public hysteria.
	That's right.
	Keeping us down.
	Well, that's right.
	And even looking back to Three Mile Island, that was nothing compared to what people freak out about today.
	No, it's a big nothing.
	It was a big nothing.
	Totally big nothing.
	Yes.
	I would say it's vastly worse the fact that we're spraying our food with atrazine gender bender chemicals compared to what that was.
	But the interesting thing About nuclear energy is that it offers a form of decentralization.
	And that's why I think, I'd love your reaction to this, I think that governments of the world want centrally controlled nuclear fusion.
	Multi-tens of billions of dollars fusion generators where they can have central distribution and control and metering.
	Whereas if you end up sort of micronizing nuclear power Where people can afford it for a corporation or a neighborhood or a small nation, well then, you know, the government loses centralized control over power.
	Much better solution, I agree.
	And of course, it's all a question of technology and maybe someday fusion becomes feasible.
	I mean, it's too bad that cold fusion thing didn't work.
	What was it, 15 or 20 years ago?
	But something like that may come up in the future, and we can find something even better than many nukes.
	I have been interviewing people about cold fusion, which morphed into low-energy nuclear reactions, and it is being developed, but the issue with that is it's very slow.
	It heats water very, very slowly, so it's being licensed by boiler companies.
	To enhance the efficiency of heating water.
	Cold fusion, as it used to be called, cannot produce megawatts.
	Also, interesting, the tech companies are now licensing or trying to revitalize nuclear power plants in order to power their AI data centers.
	So this is an interesting shift, isn't it?
	That you have corporations that are turning to nuclear power because the power grid, which is regulated by the government, is failing them.
	Yeah, eventually, reality always wins out over ideology and propaganda.
	Yeah, I mean, there's cause for optimism when you look at things like the Soviet Union, which as late as the 60s or 70s, even the 80s, people thought was real, and the CIA was pumping out all these inflated figures and so forth.
	It was just a A balsa wood door that was rotting from within and collapsed.
	Reality always asserts itself.
	I mean, so-called communist China.
	It's not communist, for God's sake.
	In many ways, it's a freer country than the U.S. is.
	Although that's changing a little bit under Mr.
	Xi.
	But yeah, stupid ideas.
	Have their day and then they fall apart.
	So that gives me cause for optimism amid all the gloom and doom that we're going to see in the next few years.
	Well, I'm glad to hear that.
	And sort of the last question then for you, Doug, and thank you for spending time with us today.
	Your insight is very valuable.
	But for people to survive this transition, you know, as bad ideas fail, There is of course economic turmoil and people who have their assets stuck in the realm of bad ideas end up with nothing.
	Any general Direction or advice for people who want to be able to navigate, like, let's say they see what's coming.
	They know the dollar doesn't have much of a future.
	You've already mentioned gold, and maybe that's just the best answer across the board, but how should people practically navigate this so that their life savings don't get wiped out?
	Okay.
	Well, put your savings in gold to a smaller degree into silver and Keep them in some place safe.
	That's number one.
	You have to learn the way the markets work so that when opportunities present themselves, you A, have the capital because you've been saving it, and you have B, the expertise.
	I mean, the best investment you can make is reading.
	And, you know, I've thought for years about writing a book It might still get written because the son of a friend of mine is actually doing it right now, taking the four years which most young men idiotically spend going to college, wasting a huge amount of time, four years, and a lot of capital.
	And it's not an education.
	It's an indoctrination.
	There's lots of things you can do to educate yourself and read and all that.
	Alright, so get back to this.
	Gold, self-education, learn to speculate.
	But there's one area we haven't talked about yet, and that is the biggest danger that you have to your personal welfare today is not financial or economic.
	Those are huge dangers.
	Your biggest danger is political.
	And I'm afraid that most people act like potted plants.
	They're born in one place, one country, even one town, and they stay there.
	It's comfortable.
	It's easy.
	It's got advantages.
	But I don't think that's a good survival strategy for a human.
	And as going gets tough in the U.S., I think it's wise to have a crib in a second country someplace.
	I mean, the In the 30s would have been well advised to have done that, as with the Russians in the 1920s, as with the Chinese in the 1940s, and I can go on and on.
	And I think it's America's turn on the dance card so that when the going gets tough, you want to be able to get going.
	So I don't know if most people are in a position to diversify internationally.
	But I think it's wise.
	I mean, I'm speaking to you right now from Buenos Aires.
	Yes.
	Well, and then your website is internationalman.com, so...
	Yeah, exactly.
	So, consider that, okay?
	A lot of people aren't in a position to do it.
	If you're not in a position to do it, whose fault is that?
	But something to think about.
	Yeah.
	Well said, and also I would just add that living outside the United States is a necessary perspective in order to understand America.
	For those of you watching in America, if you've never lived outside the country for a considerable amount of time, you really don't know how warped your domestic news is.
	I mean, that's one of the first things I noticed.
	When I lived in Taiwan in my 20s, I was reading English newspapers in Taiwan and You know, I couldn't believe how different it was from the news that I was getting in the US. Completely different.
	Yep, you're absolutely correct.
	And not only that, but it's fun, and it can be profitable, and it's broadening.
	And I think it's going to get much harder to travel in the years to come in a number of ways.
	Yeah, good point.
	The time frame is getting short.
	It is.
	Well, Doug, it's been an honor to be able to speak with you here.
	Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
	I really enjoyed this conversation.
	Well, thanks, Mike.
	I enjoyed talking to you, and we'll perhaps do it again when we see how things sort out after January, November.
	Which is Guy Fawkes Day, incidentally.
	Yeah, true.
	Good point.
	And then January 6th, when a new president may or may not be installed.
	Well, we are...
	Here in Texas, we are all just preparing for all kinds of possible chaos.
	We don't want to contribute to it, but we want to be ready for things to come to the surface with whatever happens with the election.
	So I would love to speak with you again.
	Especially after the election, but before January, and see where things are at that point.
	I would imagine gold and silver, well, gold's going to be over 3,000, I would guess, before very long.
	And who knows?
	But I tell people, it's not gold getting more valuable, it's your dollar just collapsing, is what's happening.
	We'll have a conversation one day about why is it that Americans can't do math?
	Just explaining the rule of 72.
	Sometimes I lose people.
	If you don't understand integers, your chances of surviving the financial demise are close to zero.
	That's right.
	But it's a pleasure, Doug.
	Thank you for your time.
	Okay, and talk to you in the future, Mike.
	Okay, will do.
	Thank you so much.
	And let me give out your website again, internationalman.com.
	So I want to encourage everybody there, go there, check out the articles and the videos and other content.
	Also, check out Doug's YouTube channel, Doug Casey's Take.
	Which I will be watching as well in more detail.
	I've seen many of his videos.
	And then finally he's got several books.
	One of them on Audible or Amazon is called Speculator, High Ground, book one of a series.
	So check out all of these assets and you will be wise to learn from Doug Casey.
	I think he can help you navigate this.
	And thank you all for watching today.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com.
	Get prepared.
	Take care.

	Welcome to today's sermon with the Church of Natural Abundance.
	I'm Mike Adams and the website is abundance.church and today I have a very special kind of an emergency sermon for you here today.
	This is a sermon about how to Halt demonic infestation and demonic possession.
	And the reason I'm doing this right now is because, well, there's a new film that's being released and there was a clip about that film.
	The film is called christianitesmovie.com, I believe.
	There's a clip about Tucker Carlson.
	And Tucker Carlson is explaining that he was, quote, mauled by a demon as he slept.
	And there is an increasing realization that demons are real.
	Of course, Jesus knew demons were real, and we're going to read from Mark chapter 1, and we'll go into some of that.
	Jesus would cast out demons.
	But a lot of the teachings of the Bible, especially in modern churches, they kind of Gloss over that.
	And they don't think that they were really demons.
	Oh, they were.
	The demons were real then, and they're real now.
	And in fact, they're coming out now more than ever.
	And this is why you have so many people in society that look like demons.
	They've got demonic tattoos all over their faces.
	They've got demonic nose rings and body piercings, and their eyes and teeth look straight up demonic.
	It's like the demons are coming out.
	It's called outpicturing.
	When the outer person begins to resemble the inner demon.
	And of course there are different levels of demonic possession and there are different types of demonic attacks that can afflict people.
	And it's very important to know how to halt this.
	And also, I conducted an interview four years ago with the author of a book called The Devil in the City of Angels, My Encounters with the Diabolical.
	And that was authored by Jesse Romero.
	So we're going to incorporate all this in today's special sermon, but I'd like to start with this short clip featuring Tucker Carlson describing how he was physically mauled by a demon as he slept in his bed.
	Check this out.
	Do you think the presence of evil is kick-starting people to wonder about the good?
	That's what happened to me.
	That's what happened to you?
	Oh yeah.
	I had a direct experience with it.
	In the milieu of journalism?
	Nope, in my bed at night.
	And I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled.
	Physically mauled.
	In a spiritual attack by a demon?
	Yeah, by a demon.
	Or by something unseen that left claw marks on my sides.
	So it left physical marks?
	Oh, they're still there.
	Yeah, yeah.
	A year and a half ago.
	Was your wife terrified?
	I know you were.
	I wasn't.
	I was totally confused.
	I woke up and I couldn't breathe and I thought I was gonna suffocate and I walked around outside and then I walked in and my wife and dogs had not woken up and they're very light sleepers.
	And then I had these terrible pains on my ribcage and on my shoulder and I was just in my boxer shorts and I went and flipped on the light in the bathroom and I had four claw marks on either side underneath my arms and on my left shoulder and they're bleeding.
	Wait, they were bleeding?
	They were bleeding, yeah.
	They were actual claw marks.
	And I sleep on my side, so I wasn't clawing myself.
	I don't have long nails.
	And they didn't fit my hands anyway.
	But yeah, that happened.
	So, I'm not from a world where things like that happen.
	I never heard of anything like that happening before.
	I had no idea what that was.
	I knew it was spiritual immediately.
	You did?
	Okay, that was going to be my question.
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't understand to this day.
	I'm not going to put it before.
	You didn't try to refute the spiritual part in your own mind.
	You went right into the idea.
	Well, it didn't make any sense, and it doesn't now.
	But I'm not from a, what do they call it, faith tradition that talks about things like that or even acknowledges their existence.
	Like, there's nothing like that.
	I've never heard anybody say anything like that in my whole life.
	What was the next day like?
	Well, the next morning I woke up and I thought that was the weirdest dream I've ever had.
	And then I saw blood on my sheets and I realized that was not a dream at all.
	I was like, oh, my assistant was like the only evangelical Christian I know, you know, well enough to call with something bizarre like that, totally bizarre like that.
	And she said, oh, yeah, no, no, that happens.
	Yeah, people are attacked in their bed by demons.
	What?
	What are you even talking about?
	All right, so Tucker Carlson was mauled by a demon.
	And Alex Jones posted that Tucker had also told Alex about that event a couple of years ago.
	But Alex had kept that in confidence, but now he's coming out and confirming that, in fact, that happened and that is true.
	So demonic attacks can manifest in physical form when they are especially powerful.
	And someone like Tucker Carlson, who is especially influential in Well, of course, he's going to be targeted by very powerful demonic energies.
	But understand, it takes a lot of energy for demonic forces to manifest into a physical form and to cause physical harm upon you.
	That's a big effort on their part.
	Most of the time, the infestations or influence or possessions are not physical, but rather they are mental.
	So demonic possession, there are different levels of it.
	I just mentioned some of them.
	There's influence, which is a very low level where a demonic entity may try to nudge you in certain directions.
	They may put a voice in your head telling you to do something evil or getting your consciousness to ask a different question or to look at something in a different way through temptation, for example, or through selfishness or quest for personal power, things like that.
	Or vengeance, or they may have minor control over your emotions.
	So that's called influence.
	And then there's infestation.
	And infestation is a far more serious demonic presence that exists at all times in a person's consciousness.
	In an infestation, however, the demon still does not have total control over the person's body.
	The demon may present themselves from time to time.
	They can be evoked.
	They can come out or take over the body.
	They can speak through the person's body or take over even muscle control and so on during certain types of events, certain emotional events, or if they are provoked, sometimes if they're provoked with the name of Jesus, by the way.
	In fact, there was just a clip that I saw on Acts.
	Let me see if I can find it.
	Okay, I found it.
	So the following video, which I believe was filmed in Jerusalem or somewhere in Israel.
	So there's a street preacher that mentions Jesus Christ.
	And of course, well, you know, Judaism does not recognize Christ.
	And this particular woman, This video might scare you.
	Take a look at what happens when a street preacher goes to Jerusalem to preach the gospel and is met by a very strange woman.
	You gotta believe in Yeshua!
	Yeshua died!
	And the Jewish is alive!
	And he rose from the dead!
	And he rose again!
	Jesus is alive!
	Yeshua is alive!
	He rose from the dead!
	You are the devil!
	You are the murder of the world!
	You're the one acting like a devil, not me.
	That's you.
	I'm a Jewish and I'm the blessed one.
	You are the curse.
	You understand?
	No.
	So, by the way, when you hear a voice that sounds demonic, it's when you hear a voice that sounds demonic, it's a pretty good clue that there's something demonic going on.
	When you see a face that has the characteristics of a demonic entity, Like the deep, hollow, dark eyes, the fang-like teeth that are kind of yellowed, the, I don't know, the features of the nose somehow become accentuated with these lines on the sides and so on.
	When you have a gut reaction, when you look at a person's face and hear a person's voice, and you're like, whoa, that's demonic?
	When that's your reaction, it's probably because they're demonic.
	A good person?
	A kind person?
	You know how, well, you probably heard the saying that when you're 60 years old, you get the face you deserve or something like that.
	Like you sort of earn the face that you get because of a lifetime of holding certain energies.
	And eventually it becomes your expression.
	You know, when people are in their 20s, you don't really know, but you fast forward 40 years and it's like their face really tells a story of, are they an angry person all the time?
	Are they a happy person?
	Are they a peaceful person?
	Are they a kind person?
	Are they a wicked demonic person?
	Well, a person's face and voice, if they look demonic and sound demonic, they're probably demonic.
	Just keep that in mind.
	So let's go to Mark.
	Let's see.
	Let's start with chapter 1, verse 14.
	We've covered this before in a previous sermon, but now we're going to really focus on the exorcism skills and powers of Jesus.
	So verse 14, We're good to
	and followed him.
	When he had gone a little farther from there, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.
	And immediately he called to them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and went after him.
	Then they went into Capernaum and immediately on the Sabbath he, Jesus, he entered the synagogue and taught.
	And they were astonished at his teachings for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
	Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit.
	Okay, so this is a demonic influence or infestation.
	And he cried out, saying, Let us alone!
	What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth?
	Did you come to destroy us?
	I know who you are, the Holy One of God.
	So this is a demon sort of confronting Jesus.
	Then verse 25, But Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be quiet and come out of him.
	And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.
	So this is an exorcism.
	Convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice.
	This is like a demon, you know, convulsing, whatever, heads spinning around, you know, eyes bugging out, and then the demon is gone because it couldn't resist the power of Jesus.
	Verse 27, then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, what is this?
	What new doctrine is this?
	For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
	And immediately his fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
	All right, so the people around him there were shocked that the demons had to obey Jesus when he commanded them to get out.
	That's what was shocking to them because apparently no one else had been able to do this.
	And that's because demonic infestation can be very, very powerful.
	And stay tuned because I'll give you practical ways to protect yourself from demonic infestation or even possession, which is the next level.
	So let's talk about possession.
	Well, just to back it up, so we've talked about influence, which is usually a mental or emotional influence.
	It's the most minor form of a demonic presence.
	Then there's infestation, which is usually an emotional or a consciousness infestation.
	It's kind of taking over your consciousness.
	And then there is possession.
	Now, possession is when the demon has full control over your body.
	And these aren't always clear divisions.
	Sometimes a person can suffer from an infestation and then that can become a possession as the demon temporarily asserts its power to control the person's voice or control the person's body.
	You may have seen this in Hollywood movies.
	I'm not saying that Hollywood's always accurate about this.
	But there are depictions of this where a person might be a normal person and then maybe they're challenged.
	Maybe a priest is showing a cross or sprinkling them with holy water or invoking the name Jesus.
	And then the demon takes control over the person's body.
	And then the demon speaks with a voice and whatever.
	And it's like, whoa, that's some pretty wicked stuff.
	And The human being whose body is being possessed is usually then...
	I mean, their consciousness is in the background.
	They either don't know what's happening or they feel like they're just an observer.
	Like, their body has been taken over at that point.
	Something else is controlling their movements, their facial expressions, their voice, their eyes, all of it.
	And there was a really compelling movie...
	What was the name of that?
	It was about a year ago.
	It was talking about demonic possession and it was a very frightening movie set in a prison.
	I wish I could remember the name of that.
	But that was a very compelling and I think realistic movie about how demons can possess people.
	And remember that demons can be very tricky.
	Some of them have high intelligence.
	They will try to trick the other people around them.
	But also often, they're not familiar with the motor control of the body.
	And this is why demonically possessed individuals can...
	When they try to move or walk or even to move their facial muscles to speak, it can appear kind of jerky, kind of alien or unnatural and not fully human.
	Even when they walk, it's maybe jerky or zombie-like.
	This has been observed, many, many reports of this over the years.
	So be mindful that if you see somebody who is not in control over their body, That can indicate demonic possession.
	It's not always the case.
	Obviously, there are people who have conditions, cerebral palsy or epileptic seizures or who knows, reactions to drug overdoses.
	So I'm not saying that every junkie on the street who just overdosed is demonically possessed.
	I'm not saying that at all.
	But Abusing drugs is one of the ways that you make yourself more vulnerable.
	So let's talk about these practical matters here.
	Now let's talk about what are the things that make you more vulnerable to infestation or influence or possession.
	Oh, I forgot to mention a perfect possession.
	Perfect possession is the final stage of absolute takeover.
	And perfect possession is when the human invites a demonic entity to take over its body because it wants the demon to To command its body and its mind and everything.
	So that's called perfect possession.
	And that usually, of course, would only occur with some kind of a Satan worshiper, a truly wicked person who doesn't want to be human.
	But they want the power of a Satanic entity to...
	To be expressed through their body.
	Because, remember, most demons don't have physical form, and so they need to borrow a human body in order to manipulate the physical world.
	What Tucker Carlson was talking about, physical claw marks on his body, actually being mauled by a demon, that is quite rare, actually.
	It's quite rare because, again, it takes a tremendous amount of Demonic energy in order to manifest into the 3D world.
	It's much easier for demons to use other techniques, such as mental infestation or emotional control or things like that.
	Demons can also cast spells in a sense.
	They can engage in sorcery.
	They can create illusions.
	They can make you see things that aren't there if you're vulnerable, or they can make you blind to things that are there.
	And in fact, much of what's actually happening in the world today is a form of sorcery with fake news, fake authority in the vaccine industry, for example, fake science, all these things that are happening.
	This is a type of sorcery that God warns against and Those who carry out sorcery, of course, go to hell.
	This is mentioned in, I think it's chapter 21 of Revelation, I believe it is, where it talks about cowards going to hell, but also sorcerers.
	So don't be a coward and don't be a sorcerer.
	Kind of a good piece of advice there.
	But when I interviewed Jesse Romero, he gave me information about From his knowledge, about some things that make people more vulnerable or more immune, more defensive against demonic possession.
	And by the way, don't forget Ephesians chapter 6, to put on the armor of God, which I've talked about in other sermons.
	That's a really critical piece of Scripture to remember in all of this.
	So let's do this.
	Let's talk about Well, let me say the first and most powerful defense against demonic possession is to verbally recite the name Jesus Christ.
	And you can say things like,"...in the name Jesus Christ." And you can command demons in the name of Jesus Christ, by the way.
	You can command them to leave.
	You can command them to be out.
	You can also invoke spiritual defenses such as the armor of God.
	You can say, in the name of Jesus Christ, I am hereby protected with the light and love of God, protected against any evil forces.
	You know, things like that.
	And it does help.
	It's important to verbalize this.
	One of the things that Jesse Romero told me is that demonically possessed prisoners in the L.A. County jail, they could not utter the name Jesus Christ.
	No matter what you offered them, you could offer them money or cigarettes, which is a kind of currency in jails, or food privileges or all kinds of things.
	They could not utter the name Jesus Christ.
	They would begin to shake and to convulse, as we just read in Scripture there in Mark.
	They would begin to convulse, because it turns out that for a demonically possessed human being to utter the name Jesus Christ, it actually hurts them.
	It hurts them physically.
	It burns.
	Kind of like, what, Smeagol in Lord of the Rings?
	And I do an impersonation of his voice sometimes.
	It burns!
	It burns as it does!
	You know, so that's the closest I can do to a demonic voice impersonation is Smeagol or Gollum.
	But, you know, he says it burns.
	That was when they put the, what was it, like a special line or rope around him to prevent him from running away, right?
	He said, it burns!
	It burns!
	Well, that's what demons feel if they try to utter the name Jesus Christ.
	It's like a witch melting from holy water or something like that.
	And these are very real things, by the way.
	That's why they're reflected in history and mythology and all kinds of storytelling throughout every culture, by the way.
	Every culture talks about demons.
	Every culture.
	And, you know, Skinwalkers and Skinwalker Ranch, and you can get into all kinds of crazy topics if you go down that rabbit hole.
	But let's talk about the basics here.
	So if you don't want to be demonically possessed, number one, pray.
	Pray out loud.
	Invoke the name Jesus.
	Ask for protection.
	It's very simple.
	Ask for protection.
	And reading Scripture protects you.
	So it's really good to read Mark.
	Or to read Luke or to read the works of Peter or Timothy or Paul.
	I mean, New Testament material is probably best here because that's all about Christ.
	But read the New Testament, read it out loud, and make it a habit.
	You know, read a few minutes a day if you don't already do that and invoke some of the most powerful passages out loud.
	A discipline in your faith is one of the protection factors.
	So if you have daily discipline in reading the Bible or reciting your favorite verses, you could recite Psalm 91, you could recite Ephesians 6, you could learn some of your favorite verses and recite them, and they can actually protect you.
	They can give you tremendous power.
	Just find your favorite verses, the ones that speak to you, Memorize them and then recite them as needed.
	So read Psalm 23, the Lord is my shepherd, right?
	And, you know, continuing, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me.
	Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
	Or here's another one, Psalm 91.
	This is a powerful one.
	He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
	I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress.
	My God, in Him I will trust.
	Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
	And, you know, it goes on, right?
	You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday, and so on.
	So find your favorite verses.
	I like verses that are stated more positively.
	That's why I like Psalm 23, verse 5.
	So that's a powerful verse.
	In any case, this is something that's important to do to help protect yourself from demonic influence, infestation, or possession.
	All right, now let's talk about some things that make you more vulnerable.
	Obviously, sin is the worst.
	So if you are engaged in sinful behavior, if you engage in sins, especially if you do it routinely, That creates an opening.
	Demonic possession can enter your consciousness through acts of sin, especially if you call yourself a person of Christ and then you willfully commit such sins, you know, I think it creates a bigger vulnerability.
	And if you don't have good discipline about reading scripture and you don't say prayers very often, you don't invoke the name of Jesus, then you are more and more vulnerable.
	If you're a person of wicked deeds, you're more vulnerable.
	If you're a person who is steeped in selfishness and greed and pompousness and arrogance, if you treat other people like dirt, then you are more vulnerable to demonic infestation.
	That's the way it works.
	But if you are a good person, and you know what that is.
	If you're forgiving, if you're more humble, if you are more generous, if you help others around you, then those are all spiritual.
	That's armor, okay?
	That's armor against demons.
	It makes it very difficult for them to be able to break into your consciousness in any way.
	And by the way, those who perform exorcisms...
	Such as Catholic priests who are exorcists, in order for their exorcisms to work, they have to be of pure spirit also.
	Because if they themselves have secret sins or something like that, the demons can see that and they will use it against the exorcist and they will point it out.
	And they'll use it to weaken them or to bypass their holiness, so to speak, and shatter The exorcism activity that's going on.
	So if you ever need help from an exorcist, make sure you get one who's not also a gambler, an addict, and hiring prostitutes on the weekend.
	You know, get yourself a holy exorcism expert, or it doesn't even count.
	It won't really even work.
	Now, some other defenses include symbols.
	Symbols are very powerful.
	And the symbol of the Christian cross, and I'm wearing one right now, a custom gold cross that I had made for me by a custom jeweler.
	This is the symbol of our church, by the way.
	I'll show you a picture one of these days.
	Symbols matter, and the elements matter.
	Now, silver is known throughout mythology and folklore and history.
	Silver is known as something that kills vampires, right?
	You've heard that.
	Now, even if you don't believe in vampires, you've heard the lore that silver can kill werewolves, vampires and zombies and what have you.
	Silver bullets.
	There are even idioms about silver bullets.
	Well, silver, you may know, is naturally antibacterial and antiviral.
	Silver has extraordinary properties, and I've studied it in my laboratory.
	There are what are called the silver nanoparticles.
	They're also gold nanoparticles.
	But I actually created circuitry to generate positive ions of silver suspended in a solution of deionized water.
	Well, I mean, it starts out as deionized water.
	Once the silver goes into it, it becomes, of course, ionized with the silver ions, but the electronics here, we hang large silver plates, and then we use reciprocating Positive,
	negative switching of low voltage current through those plates in order to create colloidal silver, which is really ionic silver or what we call a biostructured silver.
	These are silver nanoparticles and These particles are very, very tiny, by the way, and they really penetrate tissues, and that's why colloidal silver is so powerful as a topical antibiotic, and it's even studied in medical research.
	Well, what does this have to do with demons and evil and werewolves and vampires and so on?
	It's that the properties of silver are known to defeat infestations of microbes or infestations of things that could compromise your health.
	Bacteria or certain types of fungi and molds and so on.
	Colloidal silver defeats them.
	So silver has properties that are, you could say, in a generic sense, you could say they're sort of anti-evil or they shield you from infestations of certain types of things.
	And I think that exists at both a spiritual level and a chemistry level.
	You know, science and spirituality both confirm these properties of silver.
	So the good news is that silver is relatively affordable.
	And it's not expensive to buy a silver cross and to have a silver necklace, a silver chain.
	Now, a gold cross, you know, can be very expensive if it's custom-made or if it's got a lot of gold in it.
	But silver crosses are pretty cheap.
	You could get a nice silver cross online for, you know, 50 bucks or less.
	And it's not a bad idea to have it.
	It's really not a bad idea, because the silver cross is a symbol of Christ, and when you hold the cross, or if you're wearing the cross, you could even wear it at night for protection.
	You could have it by your bed.
	You could wear it during the day.
	You don't even have to show it to others.
	You could wear it inside your shirt or your blouse, whatever the case may be.
	So that's something that's physical that is also powerful.
	Now, holy water is water that is blessed with prayers, prayers of Jesus.
	Now, colloidal silver is water that is infused with positively charged silver ions.
	Now, here's something that you might want to consider.
	If you're familiar with any of the work of...
	The late Dr.
	Emoto, you know that water can accept a charge, an energetic charge.
	And this is where holy water comes from.
	If you take water and pray over it, you actually charge the water with the vibration of prayer, which kind of gets into something I mentioned in a previous sermon, which is morphic resonance.
	There are vibratory fields of knowledge or properties that exist in the universe that That was created by God.
	These are all consistent with the natural laws of our Creator.
	And one of those is the idea that you could charge water.
	And charging water, I believe, this is just my own personal opinion, you need to start out with really, really pure water, which is either distilled water or what we have in our lab, we have a water deionizer.
	Which is sort of distilled water on steroids.
	It turns water into an insulator because virtually every ion is gone.
	But you can start with rainwater.
	Rainwater is the best water to use for this by far.
	And if you take rainwater and then you deionize it or distill it, then you have ultra-pure water.
	And a laboratory deionizer actually creates ultra-pure water with an insulation property of what's called 18 mega-ohms, because an ohm is a measure of an insulative property.
	So mega-ohms, you know, 18 mega-ohms is millions of ohms.
	So we produce 18 mega-ohm water.
	That's what I use to make colonial silver.
	But I also use that water...
	When I've got some silver in it, so it's water plus silver ions, when I carry out my prayers, I pray with that water in front of me.
	And I like to put it in a glass jar.
	I don't like water to interact with metal.
	Especially when it has silver ions in it, because then you start having chemical reactions with different metals.
	Even stainless steel is not entirely stainless.
	So I use glass or borosilicate, just high-end glass or Pyrex type of containers.
	And when you do this, if you choose to do this, remember, it's a good idea to pray every day anyway, but if you pray with water in front of you, You are creating holy water.
	Did you know that?
	You are literally creating your own holy water.
	And this is why the practice became commonplace across many religions, including Christianity, to pray over your meals before you eat them.
	When you pray over your food and your beverages, your drink, remember that most of the food you're probably eating is actually made of water, vegetables and fruits and grains and so on.
	Even meats have some amount of water in them.
	If you're drinking milk, it's mostly water, right?
	Fruit juices, etc.
	An apple is mostly water.
	So you're praying over the water content of your food.
	You are infusing the water molecules in your food with the energy of Christ and the Creator.
	And then when you consume that, then you are eating.
	The holy water that's in the food, which you could say, well, now it's holy food.
	And the more pure your own blood, your body, your mind, your consciousness, your spirit, the more pure you are, the more powerful those prayers are.
	And therefore, the more powerful your holy water becomes.
	Now, get this.
	This is something that not a lot of people realize.
	You can pray over a vessel of water and you're charging it with prayer.
	You're charging it with the name of Jesus.
	And you're creating holy water that will hold that charge for a very long time, like years.
	You can take that water and you can put it on the shelf.
	And it maintains that holy water property.
	And I've read about people doing different experiments and About that holy water and different properties that it has.
	In some cases, people have said it has more antibacterial properties, for example.
	But you can run your own experiments on this, but you can charge water and you can make holy water, and then that can be something that you can anoint yourself with.
	Seriously, if you're about to leave the house and maybe you've already prayed, God bless me for this day, bless me with your protection, and that I may make the right decisions, that I may be effective in your mission for me today.
	All these things.
	You can also anoint yourself with the holy water that you created.
	You don't have to go to a church to get holy water.
	You can make it yourself.
	Okay, so that's, you can make it for free, obviously.
	Now, you can also start to combine this because if you engage in sprouting, you know you're using water with, let's say, broccoli sprouts to create sulforaphane, which is one of God's molecules that is anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective.
	And it's found in all broccoli sprouts or even cruciferous sprouts, such as cabbage sprouts.
	So what would happen if you were to sprout God's food and God's molecules of natural medicine, if you were to sprout them in holy water that you prayed over and that you charged with the name of Jesus and with prayers to the Lord?
	What would be the result?
	Well, I think the answer is obvious.
	You not only get the physical 3D world benefits of the nutrients, such as sulforaphane, You know, vitamin C and everything else.
	You also then get the spiritual benefits of the holy water properties that your sprouts were sprouted in.
	Right?
	And you can even run experiments, by the way.
	You can try holy water sprouting versus non-holy water sprouting and you will see a difference.
	You'll see a difference in the number of seeds that sprout and how quickly they grow and things like that.
	And if you don't see a difference, well, then you need to be more effective in your prayers, which comes down to, by the way, cleaning up your diet.
	I've covered this in a previous sermon.
	If you want your prayers to have more intention and more power, you need to purify your water, your food, your blood by eating cleaner, Get the heavy metals out, get the pesticides out.
	You've got to go all organic, all ultra clean foods.
	And you've got to purify your consciousness, purify your mind.
	The more pure you get, the more powerful you become in terms of prayer and intention.
	Now, ultimately...
	To really beef up your power, you have to get off the internet.
	You have to stop watching any news whatsoever, which is something that I'm not able to do.
	I mean, you really have to disconnect from modern society, which is why so many ancient wise men would go off into the wilderness for, you know, 40 days or whatever.
	And they would fast or they would eat roots and all these wild herbs and plants and they would detox and they would clear their minds so they weren't in the city around all the prostitutes and alcohol and all the rumors and all the nonsense and the trolls and everything.
	You can't have a pure mind if it's constantly polluted and exposed to modern society.
	For example, you can't go on social media and check the news every two hours and expect your mind to be clean.
	Those are opposites.
	It's not going to happen.
	So it's kind of interesting.
	It's that you can either be informed of current events or...
	You can be a very powerful prayer person with powerful intention.
	But you can't be both.
	You can't be both.
	And why do you think, for example, in Buddhism and Hinduism and Sikhism and so on, why do they go up to these mountain temples that are far from the cities?
	They get away from the cities, away from the pollution, away from the noise, away from all that.
	They go out into the wilderness and they build these temples on mountaintops where Nobody even dares come from the city because it's just too hard to get there.
	Why do they do that?
	Because the isolation from human cities gives them spiritual clarity, consciousness clarity, and that makes them more effective at intent or prayer, which is really the same thing.
	So is it all starting to make sense?
	So if you want more powerful holy water, well, clean up your diet.
	You know, clean up your life.
	Be a person of high moral values and eat cleaner food.
	Drink cleaner water and stop watching horror movies, you know, and stop polluting your brain with just nonsense, you know, junk information.
	Get rid of it or avoid it or minimize it.
	I understand there's a need to sort of be up to date on what's happening with I'm right there with you on that.
	I want to know, did somebody bomb somebody today?
	I want to know, what's the price of gold today?
	I need to be informed at some level.
	But you don't have to dwell in it.
	You don't have to scroll through X and look at all the pictures of all the Palestinian children being bombed to death by Israel every day.
	You don't want to dwell on that.
	And I'm not saying that you should ignore it.
	I've spoken out against it a lot.
	You don't want to become saturated with that, is my point.
	That can be very unhealthy.
	All right, so let's see.
	Oh, Bibles.
	Yes, Bibles.
	So the printed Word of God also has power.
	And a Bible that's yours, that you have read from, that you have studied with, that you have carried with you, that Bible becomes your Bible, and it becomes charged, actually, with your prayers as well.
	So The thing about prayer is it charges all physical material around it at some level.
	Water is the easiest substance to accept and hold a charge.
	But other materials also accept charges.
	Or you could say, you know, vibrations of prayer, vibrations of Christ, vibrations of healing.
	This is why when people have had objects, they've owned them for many, many years, Well, those objects are, in a way, energetically tied to the person.
	And this is evident if you've ever lost someone close to you, but you've kept their watch, let's say, or you've kept their necklace, or you've kept their Bible.
	You know, why did you do that?
	Well, it's because there's something special.
	It's tied to that person, and you can feel it.
	You can sense it.
	You know, you pick up that watch, like this was the watch of my ex-husband or, you know, my father or whatever.
	Your family members, your ancestors may have given you other things like a pocket knife or, you know, a pocket watch is a common thing.
	Whatever it is, hold on to that because it is a connection at some level.
	It is a connection with those people.
	And it's not, you know, it's not new agey and it's not a cult.
	It's not weird.
	It's perfectly natural.
	This is God's universe.
	This is the way it works.
	And one day when you leave this world, you could pass on some of your objects to your children or grandchildren or whoever, and they could hold up those objects to help remember you and help experience some of the things that you taught them, you know, because we all come and go.
	And while we're here, we do affect the things around us.
	So, to summarize, The best defenses are read scripture every day.
	Read some of it out loud.
	Invoke the name of Jesus in your prayers.
	Have a cross, silver or gold.
	Have a Bible, the Bible that you read from.
	When you pray, pray over very pure water in a mason jar to charge the water and turn it into holy water.
	You can drink that water.
	You can make a smoothie out of it.
	You could use it to sprout herbs or seeds that are also generating molecules from the mind of God.
	And let's see, what else?
	Oh, be a person of high moral character.
	Yeah, that counts for a lot.
	And have your favorite prayers, you know, the armor of God or Psalm 23 or whatever it is.
	And then to summarize the things that make you vulnerable, obviously being evil or wicked makes you very vulnerable.
	Also, oh, I forgot to mention that doing drugs makes you vulnerable, and that includes medications.
	So there are a lot of psychiatric medications out there.
	People take them all the time for depression.
	It's my belief that these make people more vulnerable to demonic infestation, which is one of the reasons why antidepressant drugs are strongly correlated with school shooters.
	So school shooters, in almost every case, they were on antidepressant drugs.
	And so, you know, the demon enters and tells them to shoot up all their classmates, and they do.
	And then they kill themselves, you know, and the demon celebrates and just claimed a bunch of souls or whatever.
	At least the shooter's souls, I suppose.
	But that's the danger of mind-altering medication.
	So I say avoid mind-altering medications.
	Avoid antidepressant drugs.
	If you're suffering from depression, by the way, Although I'm not your doctor, this is not a diagnosis, but in most cases you have a nutritional deficiency.
	You're deficient in niacin, perhaps, or vitamin D, or deficient in light.
	A lot of people are just deficient in sunlight.
	They're not getting enough sunlight.
	They're living indoors, and the mind requires light.
	Light activates your brain chemistry and activates your Your pituitary gland, you know, it activates your endocrine system.
	Light is necessary for health.
	And if you're not taking in light, you know, I mean, like, natural sunlight, you're going to be depressed.
	So those of you who live in places that have rained six months out of the year, like Portland, Oregon, let's say, or London, you know, think about how you can get out of there and get more light into your life.
	I used to live in Oregon.
	And one of the reasons I moved away was because of the lack of light.
	It was truly depressing.
	It was like, it's just months of rain and drizzle and fog.
	It's like, please, God, when can I see the sun?
	Well, you have to move.
	So that's something to consider.
	And artificial light can help, but it's not the same.
	It's not the perfect replacement.
	For the light of God, because God created the sun, God created the cosmos, God created solar systems and the laws of fusion that allow helium and hydrogen and so on to burn in a giant glowing fusion ball in the sky, which is called the sun.
	You could call it the sun of God.
	Get it?
	And every day the sun rises.
	Every day there's a resurrection, right?
	Every day.
	And, you know, it's interesting because of the axial tilt of the earth relative to its orbital path around the sun.
	Well, at every spring equinox, there's also a resurrection of the Son of God because that's when the sun starts going higher and higher in the sky from that day forward.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Yeah.
	So, you know, the story of the resurrection of Christ is It is also encoded into the physics of astronomy.
	The Son of God, the Son in the sky, is resurrected not only each day, but every year in the spring around Easter.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Now, from a nutritional point of view, by the way, this is my personal belief.
	I think that the nervous system of the human body is the vulnerable part that demons latch on to.
	And that's why taking antidepressant drugs, which alters brain chemistry, alters your nervous system, that's why that creates so many vulnerabilities for demonic infestation or possession or influence.
	And thus, consuming neuroprotective substances, I believe, is a nutritional factor to consider when it comes to protecting yourself from demonic possession.
	Now, what's interesting about this is that polyphenols, which are found in all kinds of foods and especially in spices, including the spices that we've covered here, polyphenols are neuroprotective.
	They're anti-inflammatory for the nervous system.
	Turmeric is arguably the most important neuroprotective substance.
	It's also anti-inflammatory.
	It's anti-cancer.
	It helps regulate blood sugar.
	If you're not yet taking turmeric, try it because it is extraordinary.
	Or you could just eat it as a spice, you know, or you could take it as a supplement.
	But turmeric, its benefits for joints and ligaments and connective tissue, it is really, really extraordinary.
	Omega-3 fatty acids are also known to be neuroprotective and to help reduce neurological inflammation.
	And there are many other examples of this.
	Many of the things that I've covered here, things that I teach, you know, other sermons that you can check out will give you many other examples of this.
	Even, by the way, Boswellia, frankincense, you know, This is in some ways also neuroprotective or calming.
	Spikenard oil is known to be calming to the nervous system.
	Neroli oil, another essential oil, is known for this.
	And of course, mineral-wise, there's magnesium, which is known to help calm down the nervous system.
	Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid that is very neuroprotective.
	And since it's fat-soluble, it can be taken with omega-3 fatty acids, and it combines perfectly.
	It gets distributed to your brain cells and your nervous system cells, giving them what they need for neuroprotection.
	So these are just some things to consider.
	Vitamin B12, also we've looked at natural nicotine as neuroprotective, and niacin as protecting moods and so on.
	So there are many areas to explore here in order to protect your physical neurology or the biochemical aspects of your body.
	That I believe give you better resilience, better neurological resilience.
	It also helps you handle stress, helps you handle fear, you know, helps you just sort of moderate your experience of the highs and lows of life.
	There's another category of herbs and substances that are called adaptogens.
	Ginger would be one of those, ashwagandha, and so on.
	Adaptogens help your nervous system respond in the most effective way to keep it operating but not hyper-exaggerated or inflamed.
	So these are all things to consider.
	So just continue to learn and do your research and Up your game in terms of clean foods and good nutrition, God's molecules, and you will be able to protect yourself.
	And then, like I said earlier, you know, be a good person, read the Bible, invoke the name of Jesus, pray out loud, and, you know, guess what?
	Guess what?
	You're going to be impenetrable from the point of view of the demons.
	They're not going to be able to get through the armor of God that you have put on, that you've surrounded yourself with.
	You have nothing to fear when you do the things that I've mentioned here.
	You have nothing to fear.
	Demons can't just take over your body.
	Demons can't just take over your consciousness.
	Unless you're vulnerable.
	And we already talked about that.
	But if you're not vulnerable, if you're a person, if you're a holy person, Doing these things we've talked about here, and you clean up your blood, clean up your life, your behavior, clean up your body, your mind, your spirit.
	You have nothing to fear.
	They can't get you.
	They can't get through that.
	The armor of God is absolute.
	And if you feel like something's happening, if you feel like you've been made vulnerable somehow, and you feel like there is some kind of influence or, I don't know, a feeling or a voice in your head telling you to do weird, crazy things, Or temptation coming to you, right?
	What can you do?
	Well, you can fast.
	You can detox.
	You can clean up your diet.
	You can take time away from all the screens and all the news and everything.
	And you can spend a weekend in prayer and meditation and self-reflection and reading scripture, praying over water.
	Take time to build your spiritual strength with God.
	And that will help you tremendously.
	And since you don't happen to have Jesus hanging out like in Mark, you can't just say, hey, Jesus, come over and cast out the demons.
	But you can call on Jesus to help you cast out the demons no matter what.
	But, I mean, he's not right there next to you, but his spirit is with you.
	You can call on him.
	And you need to do the work in the real world here also.
	You need to clean up your body, clean up your mind, clean up your blood, and ask for Jesus' help to cast out the demons.
	Ask for the Lord's protection, and you shall receive it.
	Ask, and you shall receive.
	Knock, and the door opens.
	Right?
	These are the words of God.
	He's giving you the method to make this happen, and it works.
	It's very powerful.
	So thank you for listening.
	This is Mike Adams here with the Church of Natural Abundance.
	The website is abundance.church.
	And God bless you all.
	More sermons yet to come.
	Be safe.
