	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Okay, welcome everybody to Brighteon Broadcast News for Tuesday, February 11, 2025. I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	Of course, a lot of breaking news here today.
	We've got some videos.
	We've got Tom Holman threatening to arrest the FBI leakers.
	We'll get to that video in a second.
	We've got Senator Collins now.
	I think she's of Maine, I believe.
	Senator Collins now saying she will support RFK Jr. for the nomination vote, which is scheduled for tomorrow.
	So I want to thank all of you, especially those of you in Maine who called your senators and who urged support for RFK Jr. Senator Collins, she's supposed to be a Republican, but she often tends to vote with Democrats, and this is a very borderline decision for her.
	So her support for RFK Jr. is really significant.
	And it shows that she is willing to listen to her constituents on these critical issues of our time.
	So RFK Jr.'s odds of being confirmed have gone up, but it's not anywhere near a sure thing.
	So continue to call your senators if you are an American.
	Call your senators and urge support for RFK Jr. and also support for Kosh Patel because his confirmation vote is coming up.
	And I believe Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation vote is also scheduled as well.
	And these are three confirmations that could all make a big difference.
	Now, before we continue, I want to tell you about our Valentine's Day sale event at the Health Ranger store.
	I mean, actually, I'll play a short video for you later to tell you what we have on sale available for both him and her, right?
	Lots.
	I mean, everybody loves...
	Good, healthy food and delicious things for Valentine's Day.
	So if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash valentines, plural, then you'll get to the page and you can check out what we have.
	And again, I'll bring you a video about that later.
	Okay, we're going to be talking about gold and gold repatriation today because some major things are happening in the gold markets.
	Gold is currently at $2,921.
	And it's rapidly heading to cross 3,000.
	It is up 50% since I began promoting it in, what, early 2022. Of course, you know I've been advocating for gold for 20 years, actually.
	But I'm just saying, in three years, it's gone up 50%.
	percent.
	That's how powerful this is.
	Now, now it doesn't actually mean that gold is skyrocketing as much as it really means the dollar is collapsing in value.
	That's what's going on.
	So just be mindful of this.
	People like to say, well, the dollar is strong.
	Well, it's not strong.
	It's only strong against other weaker currencies like the euro or the yen or the British pound or whatever that are also collapsing.
	But the dollar is collapsing versus gold.
	And gold is doing exactly what it's designed to do, which is to preserve assets.
	So we're going to talk about gold in more detail here in a second to try to understand what's happening because there's a global gold shortage panic, basically, is what's going on because of so much fraud in the paper gold market.
	Again, we'll talk about that here shortly.
	But I want to bring you an update on our BrightLearn videos, which have been very popular.
	A lot of people are loving these.
	We've been posting them on some brand new channels on both Rumble and Brighteon.
	So there's a BrightLearn channel.
	On Rumble, it's called BrightLearn.
	And there's a BrightLearn channel on Brighteon.
	And I think we've got one on YouTube, although not every video is posted there because of all the censorship.
	These channels are brand new, so they're just starting to pick up some traffic.
	But I just do, I want you to know that we are improving the format.
	It's already been very popular.
	People love it.
	But we're posting BrightLearn book reports, basically book videos.
	As well as interviews, summaries of the interviews that I've conducted.
	We're going to differentiate those better so that we're using a different color on the thumbnail for interviews so you can easily tell that those are interviews.
	And we've also introduced more voices for narration so there's more variation.
	That's really handy.
	So I'm going to be playing a couple of these videos for you today.
	Wow, I've got some really amazing stuff.
	I've got a summary of an interview with Matt Bracken.
	I've got the summary of my interview with HICAP about border security.
	And that ties right into something really fascinating here that Tom Homan just said.
	And I want to play that video for you.
	Now, Tom Homan is the border czar.
	And you know how somebody from the FBI leaked the news about an ICE raid that was imminent in, I believe, San Diego?
	So you have these activist traitors inside the FBI. Obviously, the FBI is a terrorist organization.
	It is a criminal cartel.
	And probably thousands of FBI agents need to be arrested and prosecuted.
	We'll see if that ever happens.
	But in the meantime, some FBI agent or agents have leaked this information, which is, of course, putting ICE agents in extreme danger because there can be a trap set for them.
	By the human trafficking gangs in San Diego.
	So Tom Holman, the border czar, said, we're not going to put up with this, and we're going to prosecute this leaker, and we know who it is.
	Yeah, so check out this video, short video of Tom Holman.
	Tom, where are these leaks coming from?
	Well, look, we think it's coming from inside, and we know the first leak of Aurora is under current investigation.
	We think we identified that person.
	Under investigation right now, the California League, Secretary Noem, she's correct.
	Some of the information we're receiving tends to lead toward the FBI. But I talked to Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
	They've opened up a criminal investigation, and they have promised that not only this person will lose their job and lose their pension, they're going to go to jail.
	They're going to criminally prosecute.
	So we're all over it.
	We've got the DHSIG investigating the first one.
	I have a pretty good idea what happened.
	Can't share a lot because it's under investigation, but the IGs opened up a criminal investigation on the second one.
	We're sending a strong message.
	It's just not, you know, giving the bad guys a heads up so they can escape apprehension.
	We're arresting, you know, giving, you know, the Venezuela gang a heads up so we can't arrest them.
	You're putting officers' lives at risk.
	It's only a matter of time if we walk into a place where there's going to be a bad guy who doesn't care.
	He's going to be sitting and wait for the officers to show up and ambush him.
	This is not a game.
	So DHS and DOJ are connected at HIP to hold these people responsible in a criminal fashion.
	All right, good job, Tom Holman.
	This is a serious guy.
	I really appreciate what he's doing to help America right now.
	And this is exactly what needs to happen.
	And this needs to happen with the so-called activist left-wing judges, too.
	These judges that are saying that, oh, Trump, you can't look at the Treasury data.
	Oh, you can't fire USAID people.
	You have to give them all their jobs back.
	Nonsense.
	Arrest these lunatic left-wing judges.
	Arrest them, remove them, throw them in prison, prosecute them for treason.
	And do it again and again and again until they either start to behave and understand that they are the judiciary, not the executive branch, and they're not the legislative branch.
	They can't just write new law.
	They can't just have just one little local left-wing radical judge somewhere like in Hawaii say, well, I'm going to have an order affecting the whole country, everybody.
	It doesn't work that way.
	You're not in charge.
	You weren't elected.
	Trump was elected.
	Trump is in charge.
	And it's time to arrest and remove those judges.
	It's time to arrest the treasonous FBI agents.
	Frankly, anybody, I think we should arrest the thousands of USAID employees who were sending out the fraudulent slush money, slush fund, to all these recipients.
	And I think we should arrest most of the recipients, too, because they have received, knowingly, illicit funds.
	They know what they're doing.
	And as Tom Homan says, this is not a game.
	This is a war for the future of our country, and our country is either going to be run by the left-wing, tyrannical, authoritarian traitors, the open borders, human traffickers, child mutilators, and child murderers who are the Democrats, or it's going to be run by patriots and people who abide by the rule of law and the true separation of powers,
	which means that when the President of the United States Fires a bunch of people out of the executive branch that is within his purview.
	No judge can say, well, all of a sudden I'm in charge of the executive branch too.
	No.
	USAID was created by executive order.
	It can be dismantled by executive order.
	And actually the same thing is true with the fact that America was taken off the gold standard.
	That was done by executive order.
	That can be reversed by Trump too.
	And we'll get to that shortly.
	I posted this on X. Earlier, I said, Democrats don't care about integrity in government, nor transparency, nor the rule of law.
	All they care about is total power, censorship to control narratives, USAID to control money flows, CIA and Wikipedia and Google to control knowledge.
	Anyone complaining that Elon and Trump aren't following the rules on government operations as they expose the total criminal cabal that the Democrat-run government machine has become are oblivious to the nature of the war that's underway right now.
	There is no limit to how far Trump and Elon can go, in my view, to tear down the criminal cabal that has been in power for decades, start arresting judges, imprison treasonous actors, seize assets from those who received USAID funds illegitimately, shut it all down, and imprison the criminals seize assets from those who received USAID funds illegitimately, shut it all down, Yeah, dismantle it.
	Tear it down.
	Brick by brick, agency by agency.
	Federal employee by employee dismantle the entire system.
	And, you know, yesterday I included a special report about Trump's secret financial war to free America from globalist control.
	And that actually brings us to the gold topic, because there is a massive repatriation of gold from London to the United States that's underway right now.
	And this is why in London, the LBMA cannot seem to deliver the gold that's being demanded of it, because, well, there is a financial war underway.
	Trump is trying to free us from the city of London control.
	Trump is, in effect, he has sent signals, at least this is the way I interpret it, Trump has sent signals to the institutional investors.
	And the banks, the big banks, the JP Morgans, etc., in America, that gold is going to become a really critical part of the new financial ecosystem in America, whatever that looks like.
	I don't know if it means the dollar is going to be tied to gold, you know, reconnected to gold, like before 1971, or if it means the dollar is going to be dumped and something new is going to be announced.
	Backed partially by gold?
	Maybe?
	I honestly don't know what this is going to look like.
	Or maybe some new digital currency hybrid partially backed by gold?
	I'm really not sure.
	But gold's going to be part of it.
	That is clear.
	Because everybody that knows...
	Let's say this.
	The people who control the billions, they are taking physical delivery of gold like never before.
	That is what's causing a total panic in the global supply of gold or in the gold markets.
	I mean, we are really close to $3,000 an ounce right now in gold.
	Think about it.
	$3,000 an ounce.
	I mean, gold wasn't even $2,000 an ounce in, let's say, January of 2022 because I remember that when Russia launched its...
	Military attack on eastern Ukraine, the special military operation, I think that was the first time gold went above $2,000, and it hit $2050, I believe, something like that.
	And now it's really close to $3,000 an ounce, and it continues to skyrocket.
	So what's going on?
	Well, I've got something cool to play for you here, and then we'll get into more details about that.
	But one of my new songs, which I'm going to be Introducing right here, right now, is called There's Nothing More Disgusting Than a Globalist.
	Now, this is a comedy song, so it's kind of like an old-school comedy song.
	It's supposed to be funny.
	It's supposed to be satire, and the images are hilarious and just gross.
	You'll laugh your way all the way through this song, by the way.
	There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist.
	And my video editor here who edits these podcasts, he put together the music video on this and did a great job.
	So I think you'll really enjoy it.
	And I also want you to know that coming up next week, I believe on Tuesday, we are announcing an exclusive documentary being launched on brighttown.com on the homepage.
	And I wrote the song for that documentary, the feature song.
	It's...
	Featured partially in the trailer and also in the film.
	And the song has the same name as the film.
	And so I'm actually starting to do music for documentaries now, which is really awesome.
	You're going to love it.
	But that's coming out Tuesday at Brighteon.com.
	And don't forget, again, our Valentine's Day sale is on right now.
	HealthRangerStore.com slash Valentine's.
	But check out...
	Check out this music video here.
	There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist.
	and then we'll continue.
	Telling us what to do They're a gang of crooks Unindicted and sly While America crumbles They just watch it die There's nothing more disgusting Than a globalist There's nothing more pathetic in D.C.
	They're pushing pharmaceuticals And climate change delusionals While making sure that none of us are free There's nothing more disgusting Than a globalist Not even dumpster fires Filled with crap If something happened to the crown And burned it to the ground We'd be better off And that's a simple fact Oh yeah Oh yeah They keep the borders open While they fund endless wars
	Causing suffering abroad And ignoring homeland shores They push their vaccine lies And their masks and their fear While they laugh at the people Sipping champagne and beer They sell out to foreign powers They betray our land They're the puppets of greed With blood on their hands They block every reform They don't care a single bit While the dollar is dying They print more counterfeits There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist
	There's nothing more pathetic in D.C.
	Can't you see?
	They're pushing pharmaceuticals And climate change delusionals While making sure that none of us are free There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist Not even dumpster fires filled with crap If something happened to the crown And burned it to the ground We'd be better off And that's a simple fact Oh yeah Oh there's fat cats with contempt For the founding dream They've turned this great nation Into a corrupt regime We need term limits now And some treason trials
	Lock up the traffickers and pervert pedophiles.
	They push their climate scams and their COVID hoax while they line their own pockets and treat us like jokes.
	They're the masters of lies and the lords of deceit.
	They're the reason our nation's headed for defeat.
	But the people will rise and the truth will prevail.
	We'll send corrupt globalists to life in a jail.
	For America's spirit can never be killed.
	As long as we stand strong, our hearts are filled.
	There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist.
	There's nothing more pathetic in D.C.
	They're pushing pharmaceuticals and climate change delusionals while making sure that none of us are free.
	There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist Not even dumpster fires filled with crap If something happened to the crown and burned it to the ground We'd be better off and that's a simple fact Oh yeah So here's to the future where the crooks are all gone
	Where the people are free and the nation is strong We'll rebuild this land where truth is our guide and the globalist's crimes we'll no longer hide.
	There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist, but their time is up and their fate is clear.
	We'll take back our country and make it anew For the people by the people and the red, white, and blue The red, white, and blue, the land of the free, for me and you We'll take our country back, stop the communist attack And to our founding fathers we'll be true Celebrate the red, white, and blue
	All right, there you go I hope you enjoyed that.
	There's nothing more disgusting than a globalist.
	Now, that will be available as a standalone music video at music.brighteon.com.
	And all my music videos are going to be posted there.
	And I've got, what, seven songs in the queue now?
	Well, yeah, I think it's still seven, even though we just published this one.
	I've got seven more.
	I've got a country-western style.
	I've got a bunch of different styles.
	And I think I'm going to do a heavy metal style at some point here.
	I was thinking of doing a heavy metal song called...
	Hang them all or something like that.
	I don't know.
	I'm still working on that content.
	I've got a number of themes to work on that I'll be bringing you a lot of songs, but the ones in the queue right now are just really amazing.
	I think you'll really enjoy them.
	And, of course, these songs are free for you to use in a non-commercial basis, personal use.
	Go ahead and download it.
	Download the MP3. Put it on your phone.
	Share it.
	Give it to people.
	Enjoy it because these messages are for everybody to enjoy.
	We just ask that if anybody wants to use it commercially, then, you know, contact us for licensing permission for commercial use.
	But I don't think anybody wants to commercially use that song.
	Not like they're going to play that in a big ad on TV, right?
	They're never going to play that video.
	That's what's so great about it.
	All right, all right.
	So coming up today in terms of the interview, now we're going to discuss more about gold here shortly, but the interview is with two high-level people involved in ZANO, Z-A-N-O, which is a privacy crypto infrastructure project that has a lot of support from Aaron Day.
	And Aaron Day, in an interview that I had with him, I don't know, a couple months back, he said that he was going to create.
	A gold-backed privacy token that's tied to audited physical gold deposits, like vaulted gold, that is converted into digital grams, basically.
	And each gram is a token.
	And it runs on the Xano blockchain.
	And actually, I haven't heard any update from Aaron Day.
	I should reach out to him and ask him how that project is going.
	But it sounded like a cool project.
	I decided to reach out to the Xano guys and get them back on.
	I interviewed them maybe over a year ago.
	At that time, I honestly did not understand the project, and it is very technical.
	So part of this interview gets crazy technical.
	But this interview, I mean, crypto is, it is a technical ecosystem.
	And understanding the technology is really important for understanding the privacy.
	How does the privacy work?
	How would vaulting work?
	How are transactions protected?
	What is the consensus mechanism for the distributed blockchain, etc.?
	So inevitably, it does get kind of technical.
	So just, I'm forewarning you that this interview is going to be a little bit technical coming up.
	But now, let's talk about Trump and gold and what's happening with London versus America.
	So the short version of this, the simplified story, Is that globally, there is a giant pool of ounces of gold, and most of it is actually unallocated, meaning that Fort Knox claims to have a certain amount of gold, and the LBMA claims to have a certain amount of gold, and the Bank of Japan claims to have a certain amount, etc.
	And basically, everybody's lying about how much gold they have.
	They don't have the gold they claim.
	Because they have been what's called rehypothecating the gold.
	They have been lending out more gold than they actually have on paper, obviously, and counting on people not wanting the physical delivery.
	That's been the fraud of the gold price manipulation, and also this happens in silver, and this has been going on for decades.
	So the paper markets.
	Manipulate the price of the metals quite substantially by selling gold and driving the price down, and then just counting on the fact that almost nobody's going to want to take delivery on the gold, and thus they won't actually have to deliver out of the COMEX or any other gold exchange or bullion exchange system, right?
	But what's happening right now is that more and more people are wanting physical delivery.
	In the United States, for reasons I mentioned earlier, I think signals from Trump, institutions, the JP Morgans, some hedge funds, some banks, and many central banks around the world, including China, are taking physical delivery of the gold that they are buying on contract.
	So as the contract comes due, instead of just selling the contract and rolling it over, they're saying, yes, I want physical delivery.
	So the LBMA... Turns out has been running, at least this is my analysis, this is my understanding, they've been running a massive global fraud.
	They don't have the ounces of gold that they have told people they did.
	They have allowed people to borrow ounces of gold or to have borrowing claims on the gold, and they've done that to multiple parties at the same time who all have claims on the same gold.
	Another way to put it is, let's suppose that I had like a million ounces of gold.
	Let's say if I'm like some metals exchange, I've got a million ounces of gold, but I've got loans out.
	I've lent out that million ounces like three times.
	So I've been paid by different parties to lend out three million ounces of gold, thinking that they won't really want to take delivery.
	They'll just...
	You know, they'll make good on the lending, and then it'll all balance out on paper, and I'll never have to deliver the gold.
	But what's happening, like I said, is people are taking delivery.
	They want the physical, and thus, this pool of gold turns out to be insufficient.
	It's been kind of like a gold Ponzi scheme, in essence.
	It's not exactly the same as a Ponzi, but it's a form of fraud.
	To lend out on paper more gold than you actually have, that's what's been going on, and it's not just out of London.
	It's been happening in many places, many Western countries, many central banks, etc., in many parts of the world.
	Now it's all coming due because people want physical delivery, and that's why there's a panic taking place where there's basically right now you have to pay 5% or 10% interest.
	I think the last number I saw was 9% interest.
	Per month to borrow the physical gold to make good on your physical obligations, you got to pay 9% per month.
	See, that's massive.
	That's a massive premium, and it shows desperation in the gold markets, and there's not enough gold to go around to meet all the obligations.
	So as a result of this, gold prices are going to continue to rise Until this panic is resolved, because people are bidding up the price of gold because they're desperate to get it to make good on their obligations.
	I should say some of the exchanges, the lenders, they are desperate to buy the physical gold from other parties so they can make good on their deliveries and not default on deliveries, which would wipe out their business.
	So that's actually what's driving up gold prices right now.
	It's not just Trump tariffs or whatever the official excuse is.
	It's the fact that there's a lot of fraud in the system, and the fraud is becoming due.
	And then if you're wondering, well, what is the fundamental driver for why people want physical delivery of gold?
	I think it's because Trump has something up his sleeve involving a reset of the currency.
	That's my interpretation.
	As a disclaimer, I just want you to know, do not take this as investment advice.
	I'm not saying for sure that I know that gold is going to be $10,000 an ounce, although it could be.
	I'm not saying that, and I'm not saying speculate on gold.
	Just to be clear, I'm saying that if you already have gold, you're going to be very happy probably where it goes.
	If you want to get more gold, I can't guarantee where it's going to go.
	It could go up.
	It could go down.
	But if Trump does what I think he's going to do, we could be looking at $10,000 an ounce gold.
	Which is going to make a lot of you extremely happy.
	But think about it.
	As that's happening, would you even sell your gold?
	Who's going to sell?
	I guess at some point, people run into financial issues or they need more liquidity.
	So if the price is high enough, people will sell.
	I mean, that's the market, right?
	If somebody came along and offered you a million dollars an ounce for your gold, you'd probably sell.
	All of it, right?
	You say, wow, because I can take that million dollars, I can go buy more gold and a bunch of other things with it, whatever.
	The point is that there's a price at which anybody will sell all their gold.
	Now, $10,000 an ounce, that's going to trigger a sale for some people, but not everybody.
	I don't know about you, but there's no scenario that I can think of.
	In the imminent future where I want more fake fiat dollar counterfeit currency.
	You know what I'm saying?
	No matter what the price.
	Even if gold's $20,000 an ounce.
	Do I want $20,000 fiat dollars more than I want an ounce of gold?
	Yep.
	Probably not because if that scenario unfolds, you know, what's going to be happening to food inflation?
	What's going to be happening to the price of everything?
	Dollars are worth less and less and less.
	So gold is like an insurance policy to guarantee the future spendability, the future ability to purchase goods and services with something that you know will maintain value.
	That's what gold is for.
	The only time I would convert it into currency is if I need to spend that currency right now.
	I don't want to hold currency.
	Because currency is going down, right?
	Remember what I've said every time I have a disclaimer about gold.
	I say, look, I can't guarantee that gold is going to go up.
	And I've said that for years, even though it's gone up 50% in three years.
	But I can absolutely guarantee you the dollar is going to go down.
	And, you know, then some people say, well, the dollar is strong.
	It's going up.
	It's going up against the euro.
	Yeah, because the euro is going down, too.
	The euro is just going down faster than the dollar is going down versus gold.
	You've got to stop comparing dollars to euros or yen or other fiat counterfeit currencies.
	They're all going down.
	The way you know the dollar is going down is compare it to gold.
	One dollar right now is only worth about one three thousandth of an ounce of gold.
	That's not much because I remember in the 1990s it was worth one three hundredth of an ounce of gold.
	I actually started buying gold when it was around $300 an ounce.
	Yeah, I think the first gold I bought was about $300.
	And now here it is, basically at $3,000.
	Wow.
	So, of course, I think gold is going to go much higher.
	I just can't guarantee it.
	If you want to get physical gold, then our sponsor that I strongly recommend, give them a call.
	Talk to them.
	They have very competitive pricing.
	High-integrity individuals.
	Guaranteed, insured, discreet delivery.
	You can find them at metalswithmike.com.
	Metalswithmike.com.
	And they have gold, and they have silver, and they have all the world mints, everything that is valuable in the world of precious metals.
	All the different varieties, all the different coins, different denominations, quarter-ounce, tenth-ounce, or one-ounce, even bars and even IRAs.
	This is going to become really interesting in the upcoming interview today with Xano.
	I think you'll find that fascinating.
	Let me play a couple of short videos for you from BrightLearn.
	First, remember my interview from a couple months ago with HICAP about border security and the emerging threats, the cross-border threats and the surface-to-air missiles and all that stuff?
	I think we talked about it there.
	We have now done a BrightLearn Treatment of that interview with HICAP. Now remember, this interview was conducted before the election, and things have changed since then.
	Things have changed for the better.
	We now have Tom Homan kicking ass constantly, and we're deporting thousands of people a day, it looks like.
	So this interview, you know, was before all that, but it still speaks to the extreme threat that our border faces, and this problem is nowhere near solved.
	And it looks like the radical left is trying to start a civil war at this point.
	They're trying to start some kind of an armed uprising.
	So check out this storytelling about the interview with HICAP on the subject of border security.
	It's about five minutes.
	Welcome back, listeners, to another gripping episode of Natural News.
	Today, we're diving deep into a conversation that will send shivers down your spine and fire up your curiosity.
	Mike Adams recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with an expert who goes by the name HICAP, a source with unparalleled insight into the complex world of border security, directed energy weapons, and the intricate web of political and economic forces shaping our nation.
	So buckle up, and let's dive right in.
	HICAP, a seasoned security detail and firearms expert, operates on the front lines of the This move, Highcap explains, is a game-changer.
	It unties the hands of law enforcement, allowing for more aggressive tactics and surveillance.
	But it also highlights the stark difference between how blue states, And Red States handle these threats.
	In Texas, the gloves are off.
	If you're a gang member causing trouble, the law will come down on you with full force, no questions asked.
	HICAP's first-hand account of the border situation is eye-opening.
	He describes it as a constant game of whack-a-mole, where the rules seem to shift depending on who's in charge.
	For a brief moment, the administration showed a willingness to crack down on illegal crossings.
	But the long-term impact was minimal.
	Criminals, gang members, and human traffickers continue to exploit the porous border, often with impunity.
	This is a stark contrast to the swift and decisive action taken in Texas, where the governor and attorney general are taking a hard stance against those who aid and abet these illegal activities.
	But the conversation takes a darker turn.
	When Hicap and Adams discuss the recent directed energy weapons attack on Trump supporters at a rally in Tucson, Arizona.
	The symptoms, severe eye pain, redness, swollen faces, and skin peeling, point to a sophisticated and chilling use of technology.
	Hicap, with his extensive knowledge of infrared and night vision devices, breaks down the dangers of weaponized light.
	These devices, often silent and invisible, can cause permanent damage, including blindness.
	The fact that such weapons are available on platforms like eBay is a sobering reminder of the technological threats we face.
	The discussion then broadens to encompass the broader geopolitical landscape.
	Heikap and Adams touch on the kinetic assassination attempts on Trump, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the volatile situation in Israel.
	Heikap's insights into the logistics of military operations, the economic challenges facing Western nations, and the growing threat of domestic terrorism are nothing short of alarming.
	The idea that terrorist cells, some of which have infiltrated the country illegally, could be activated to target critical infrastructure is a real and present danger.
	HICAP warns that the next few months are not going to be warm and fuzzy and that communities need to stand together, be prepared, and be vigilant.
	But amidst the chaos and uncertainty, HiCap and Adams find hope in the resilience of the American spirit, especially here in Texas.
	The people of Texas, Adams says, are ready to defend their families, their communities, and their state.
	The message is clear.
	Get prepared, support your local law enforcement, and build strong, united communities.
	Spiritually and mentally, we need to be ready for what's coming.
	So listeners, take this to heart.
	The world is changing.
	And the challenges we face are real.
	But with preparation, community and faith, we can navigate these troubled waters.
	Thank you for tuning in and stay strong.
	Until next time, keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight.
	Okay, next I want to play a video for you of a left-wing pastor who is becoming famous online for calling for violence.
	He calls for violence in the streets because he, like all these radical leftists, is not happy about the cutting of the USAID funding, which is shutting down all the corruption and fraud and grift of the Democrats.
	So this pastor, just abusing, just abusing the pulpit of the church and clearly engaged in woke DEI nonsense.
	He's openly calling for violence.
	Check this out.
	In this nation, I'm worried that we are on the verge of bloodshed.
	This is an attempt to take us back to a day that we do not want to go and we will not go.
	Therefore, there will be conflict.
	I pray that the peace of God will win out and overcome the madness that is attempting to take over this nation.
	And I will say to you, beloved, no one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary.
	When Elon Musk forces his way into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your Social Security check, there is a possibility of violence.
	Sometimes the devil will act so ugly that you have no other choice but to get violent and fight.
	Well, someone might say, now, Reverend, you know you shouldn't be talking about violence.
	This isn't the Christian thing to do.
	Well, I will say, why not talk this way?
	Because Jesus did.
	Jesus said in this key verse, didn't he?
	The kingdom of heaven suffers what?
	Violence.
	And the who?
	The violent take it by force.
	The kingdom of God is a war zone.
	It is a battlefield.
	You did know this, right?
	Did you hear what he said there?
	He said that sometimes violence is necessary, and then he names Elon Musk.
	I mean, these leftists, they are planning.
	They're going to launch an armed revolt, some kind of a civil war in America.
	It's coming.
	You can sense it because they're losing everything.
	Trump is tearing down all their fraud, all their election rigging, all their slush fund money.
	Trump is securing the border.
	Trump is firing all the workers at USAID. Trump is rooting out corruption and fraud.
	And the fact that one person has 10,000 copies of their Social Security number and they get all this grant money and they get to vote 10,000 times, all that nonsense, it's all being rooted out and shut down.
	The Democrats are losing their minds because they depend on that, all that cheating and fraud to stay in power.
	That's why they're now calling for violence.
	And by the way, for any left-wing reverend or pastor or preacher to claim that they have the right to proclaim God is on their side when they are the abortionists, the child mutilators, the open borders, human traffickers, the liars, the cheaters, the stealers, the fraudsters, the election riggers, these people, they have nothing in common with God or Christ.
	They are creatures of Satan.
	They are Satanists pretending to be Christians.
	So when they call for violence, understand that if the rest of us who are actual people of faith, if we the people are forced to defend our country in self-defense against an uprising of Satanists who are advocating bloodshed so that they can maintain if we the people are forced to defend our country in self-defense against an uprising of Satanists who are advocating bloodshed so that they can maintain their corrupt criminal cabal of tyranny and censorship and authoritarianism and slush fund money
	and rigged elections and all the nonsense that they push, then we the people as a nation, state As the left calls for violence, conservatives and Trump supporters should call for self-defense.
	And you have a right to defend yourself against the instigation of violence and violence.
	Eminent threats against your person, your property, your life, your family, your health, all of that.
	So we don't initiate violence.
	We don't call for violence.
	But if violence comes at us, we will end it.
	And we will end it quickly.
	We will put it down.
	And I know that all of you listening in law enforcement, you are 100% with me on this.
	You know exactly what I'm talking about.
	You don't initiate violence.
	But if violence comes to you, an assault comes at you, a man with a knife in your face, someone pointing a gun at you in close proximity or taking shots at you, you will end that violence very quickly, without hesitation.
	And that is precisely the right attitude.
	And I believe that Trump shares that attitude.
	Clearly, Tom Homan shares that attitude.
	We all need to have that attitude because it's clear that violence is coming.
	And it's going to be pushed by even left-wing churches.
	Think about that.
	They're going to say they're committing violence in the name of Christ.
	Yeah.
	Talk about Antichrist, right?
	Unreal.
	All right.
	So let's play another Bright Learn video about all of this.
	This was my recent interview with Matt Bracken, and it's called Impending Collapse.
	Matt Bracken and Mike Adams talking about the threats against America and threats against the power grid.
	This was also recorded.
	I think actually this was recorded after the election, but before Trump was sworn in.
	So it's fairly recent.
	Check out this video again from brightlearn.ai if you want to see all these videos.
	Here we go.
	Hey there, Bright Learners.
	Welcome back to another episode of Bright Learn, where we dive deep into the issues that matter.
	And today we're bringing you an important and eye-opening conversation.
	I recently had the chance to listen to an interview between Mike Adams and Matt Bracken, and let me tell you, it's a doozy.
	These two guys aren't just your average analysts.
	They're digging deep into some of the most critical and potentially dangerous situations facing our country and the world right now.
	So, buckle up, and let's dive in.
	Matt Bracken, if you're not familiar, is an author, a veteran, and a sharp analyst who has a knack for predicting future events.
	Are not just thrilling reads.
	They're eerily prophetic.
	In Doomsday Reef, he explores a world where the power grid has collapsed and society is trying to rebuild a decade later.
	It's a world where the economy has to restart from scratch, with no banks, no fiat currency, and no established systems.
	It's a wild ride, and it's one that, according to Matt, might not be as far-fetched as we think.
	Now let's talk about the meat of the conversation.
	Matt and Mike are discussing the potential for a major breakdown in the United States and they're not mincing words.
	They're talking about the collapse of the financial system, the vulnerability of our power grid, and the increasing threats from both foreign and domestic enemies.
	It's a lot to take in, but it's crucial.
	One of the key points Matt makes is about the end of the fractional reserve banking system.
	This is the system where banks keep only a fraction of deposits on hand.
	And lend out the rest.
	It's a system that, according to Matt, is unsustainable and is on the brink of collapse.
	He draws a parallel to Keynesian economics, where the famous economist John Maynard Keynes once said, In the long run, we are all dead.
	Essentially, the system has been designed to benefit the present at the cost of the future, and now that future is here.
	The conversation then shifts to the practical implications of such a collapse.
	Matt explains that our cities are like giant aquariums, completely dependent on external systems for power, water, and food.
	When these systems break down, the cities will collapse.
	He uses the analogy of a cruise ship running aground on a reef and not being rescued.
	It's a stark image, but it drives home the point.
	Our modern cities are artificial constructs that can only survive as long as the systems supporting them are intact.
	But it's not just about the financial and logistical collapse.
	Matt and Mike also discussed the growing threats from foreign actors.
	They mention the possibility of a grid takedown, where multiple attacks on power transformers could cause a cascading failure of the power grid.
	This isn't just theoretical.
	It's something that has been demonstrated in the past, like the Metcalfe attack in California.
	Matt points out that our enemies are well aware of this vulnerability And are likely planning to exploit it The interview also delves into the domestic threats Particularly the radicalization of the left Matt emphasizes that while these groups might not be proficient in tactical combat They can still cause significant damage by disrupting supply chains For example, derailing trains, sniping at truck drivers, or even more insidious methods like using green lasers to blind people at rallies.
	The point is, when the trust that keeps our society functioning, One of the most chilling parts of the conversation is Matt's discussion of what happens when cities run out of food and water.
	He talks about the concept of murder cannibalism, where people start hunting other people for food.
	It's a grim scenario, but it's one that he believes is possible if the supply chains break down.
	He draws a parallel to events like the Rwandan genocide, where propaganda and hatred were whipped up to the point where people were willing to commit unspeakable acts.
	Mike and Matt also discuss the upcoming election and the potential for chaos if Donald Trump wins.
	They believe that both foreign and domestic enemies will see this as an opportunity to attack.
	They mention the vulnerabilities in the Secret Service and the potential for false flag attacks, where the true perpetrators are hidden behind a false trail of evidence.
	In the face of these challenges, Matt and Mike urge listeners to take action.
	They recommend moving away from blue cities and states, getting prepared, and staying informed.
	Matt suggests following him on X, formerly Twitter, and Gab for the latest updates, and he also invites people to check out his books, which offer a more in-depth look at these issues.
	So, what can you do?
	First, stay informed.
	Follow trusted sources like Matt Bracken and Mike Adams.
	Second, get prepared.
	Whether it's stocking up on supplies, moving to a safer area, or learning essential skills, being prepared can make all the difference.
	Yes.
	And finally, stay connected.
	Reach out to your community and build strong, resilient networks.
	This is a lot to take in, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
	But remember, knowledge is power.
	By staying informed and prepared, you can navigate these challenging times with confidence.
	Thanks for tuning in, Bright Learners.
	If you found this episode helpful, please share it with your friends and family.
	Stay safe, stay informed, and let's keep learning together.
	Until next time, this is Bright Learn.
	Take care.
	This has been a brightlearn.ai summary of an interview between Matt Bracken and Mike Adams on September 26, 2024.

	Visit naturalnews.com for full editorial coverage of this interview and breaking news on critical stories that will keep you informed and aware of what's really going on.
	So Steve Quayle just called me and he said that the the food, the engineered famine crisis is getting far worse.
	That there are all of these contrived food recalls that are being issued so that the government can take over these food supplies and they're shuttling them into their underground bunkers.
	So when you see a food recall on, you know, 100,000 pounds of hamburger, they're not destroying that hamburger.
	What they're doing is they're just loading it up on the trucks and they're driving it into the underground bunkers and freezing it for the chaos that's coming so the government can have all these food supplies.
	This is, you know, the NDAA plus the FDA can force a recall, and then they just load up, roll their trucks right into a food manufacturing facility and take all their food and say it's a recall.
	It's just theft, okay?
	It's government theft.
	And I'm going to interview Steve tomorrow, actually, with a new update on that.
	But I already interviewed Steve a couple of weeks ago about this very topic, and we did a Bright Learn video now about that interview.
	So I'd like to play that for you.
	It's between five and six minutes, and it gives you an overview of the engineered famine crisis that's being rolled out across our country right now, all on purpose.
	And guess who's doing it?
	Yeah, it's the stay-behind saboteurs in the bureaucracy.
	It's the leftists that want to hurt Trump, who want to sabotage America.
	It's all these traitors and treasonous actors inside these government agencies that now...
	Want to cause famine and hurt the economy and create fear and desperation to try to harm Trump's America.
	Now they're running sabotage ops, okay?
	They're in sabotage mode.
	In essence, almost all the leftists in the federal government are now terrorists.
	That's all they're doing is running terrorist operations and figuring out how do we terrorize the American people and make them as miserable as possible under Trump, okay?
	That's what's happening.
	So check out this video.
	Again, a BrightLearn video.
	You can find more at brightlearn.ai of my recent interview with Steve Quayle.
	Check it out.
	Hey, everyone.
	Welcome back to another episode of Natural News, your go-to spot for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
	I'm your host, and today we've got a seriously eye-opening story to share.
	Just this Christmas Eve, Mike Adams and Steve Quayle sat down for an intense conversation on the Health Ranger Report.
	Now, if you're not familiar with these guys, Mike Adams is the founder of the Health Ranger Store, and Steve Quayle is a seasoned preparedness expert.
	Both of them have their fingers on the pulse of what's really going on in the world and their latest discussion is nothing short of a wake-up call.
	So, let's dive right in.
	Adams and Quayle were discussing a global food crisis that's unfolding right before our eyes and they're making a bold claim.
	This crisis isn't just a series of unfortunate events.
	It's a carefully engineered famine that's straight out of biblical prophecy.
	Now I know that might sound a bit out there, but hear me out.
	Drawing from the book of Revelation, they pointed out that this crisis aligns eerily with the prophecies of famine, war, and societal collapse.
	Quayle, with his deep knowledge of preparedness, revealed something truly alarming.
	Over 100 million pounds of food...
	have been secretly diverted from grocery shelves and stashed away in underground locations.
	We're talking about salt mines under Kansas, folks.
	This massive diversion is authorized under the National Defense Authorization Act, and it's left major retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Dollar Tree struggling to keep their shelves stocked.
	Quayle put it bluntly.
	They're clearing away all the food from the American shelf.
	When you withhold food from the general public, Adams, who's no stranger to uncovering hidden agendas, echoed these concerns.
	He pointed to a series of suspicious food recalls, like eggs and milk, and drew a parallel to the COVID-19 playbook.
	According to Adams, These crises are being fabricated to shut down food supplies and bankrupt farmers.
	It's a pattern we've seen before, and it's happening again.
	But here's where it gets even more fascinating.
	The duo delved into the spiritual significance of this crisis, citing Revelation 6-7-8.
	In this passage, the fourth horseman rides a pale horse, and its rider is named Death.
	The original Greek word, chloros.
	Describes a sickly green hue, symbolizing the destruction of chlorophyll, the lifeblood of the food chain.
	Adams declared that the fourth horseman is already here, and the food supply is being deliberately targeted.
	Quayle added that this isn't just about food shortages.
	It's about control.
	He emphasized that food is the ultimate weapon, and it's being used to starve people into submission or death.
	They also highlighted a coordinated effort to dismantle traditional agriculture.
	From Tyson Foods' cricket factories to Klaus Schwab's proposal to turn human waste into food, the global elite are pushing a dystopian agenda that aligns with the World Economic Forum's vision of a great reset.
	Quayle took it a step further, noting that the Book of Revelation predicts the destruction of a third of the seas and the collapse of civilization.
	The interview took a sobering turn as they discussed the spiritual, Quayle warned of transmorphic demonic entities manifesting through artificial intelligence, AI, and quantum computing, while atoms highlighted the rise of digital Earth simulators and autonomous killbots.
	Quayle said the end of the age is already happening, and the globalists want to destroy humanity and replace it with their transhuman descendants.
	It's a chilling thought.
	But one that they believe we need to face head-on.
	Both Adams and Quail urged listeners to prepare for the coming crisis.
	They emphasized the importance of stockpiling food, securing clean water, and strengthening your faith.
	Adams stressed the importance of decentralized knowledge and self-reliance.
	He added that people with the knowledge and wisdom to see through the psyops will be hard to control.
	As the world teeters on the brink of chaos, the words of Adams and Quail serve as a stark reminder.
	The Fourth Horseman is no longer a distant prophecy.
	It's here.
	The question is, will we heed the warning before it's too late?
	So what can you do?
	Start by educating yourself, stay informed, and take steps to ensure your own security.
	Stock up on essentials, support local farmers, and most importantly, stay vigilant.
	The truth is out there, and it's up to us to spread it.
	Thanks for tuning in, and I'll catch you on the next episode of Natural News.
	Stay safe.

	Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
	This is Decentralized TV, and Brighteon is our uncensored free speech platform.
	But the show is Decentralized TV, and my co-host Todd Pitner will be joining us here in just a few minutes.
	Just some technical difficulties to bring him in, but he's really excited about this interview today, and I am too.
	too.
	I've been really anticipating this, and I think you'll love it because I think that you could fairly characterize our guests today as some world-class leaders in privacy crypto.
	And we are joined by Andre and Pavel from the Zano Project.
	That's at zano.org.
	That's Z-A-N-O.org.
	Welcome, gentlemen, to the show today.
	It's It's truly an honor to have you both on.
	Thank you.
	Thanks for having us.
	And welcome, Todd.
	It's great to have you.
	We've only just begun.
	Okay, good.
	Hey, guys.
	Yeah, this is Todd Pitner, everybody, our co-host for the show.
	And Todd, we're only a couple minutes into this.
	We're only beginning, so you haven't missed anything.
	But welcome.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Good to be here.
	I broke a speed record to get home.
	No worries.
	Well, your project is making waves lately.
	And I have to admit that the first time that I interviewed you, I truly did not understand your project.
	In the United States, Aaron Day, who we've had on as a guest many times, he has been really advocating for your project, and I think he's building another token on top of your Xano ecosystem.
	I'm really excited about that as well.
	Since then, I have used the Xano wallet, so I own some amount of Xano playing with it, buying, selling, whatever, swapping, just trying to understand the ecosystem.
	And what I would like you to do, please, can we start from the beginning for our users who are maybe new to Zano and like what it is?
	And this is not some stupid meme coin, not some stupid FOMO pump and dump.
	We have zero interest in that.
	We have interest in infrastructure for privacy crypto.
	So take it away and tell us what Zano is all about, please.
	Well, to be fair, I think the last time you had an interview with Andrzej, Zano was completely different.
	Project at the time we were focusing on privacy coin as a project and we did pivot to privacy ecosystem as you just described it.
	Right now we are building the platform for developers and users to launch their own coins or tokens.
	This is the common term.
	We call them confidential assets on Zana blockchain without any overhead of worrying about the consensus.
	Mining, networking, anything.
	So this is indeed the privacy-oriented cryptocurrency platform.
	So it's infrastructure for other people to build on top of and to build out their own tokens and applications, correct?
	Correct.
	Yes, we do have our native coins, Zana, and it works just as a coin, as you would expect.
	The privacy coin, you still can transact with it and make it as a Let's go to Andre here.
	Let me ask if I'm understanding this correctly about the practical application of this, because my co-host Todd and I, we are not fans of the Bitcoin transparency.
	We believe in privacy, right?
	But for people who have Bitcoin, and let's say they want to send Bitcoin to a friend.
	But they don't think that it's any body's business or any government's business of where it's going.
	Can they somehow, using confidential layer, can they take that Bitcoin, wrap it in Xano, send it through the Xano network, and then on the other side, the person unwraps, I mean, I'm using common terms, but they then retrieve the Bitcoin, but in between, the Bitcoin transaction is somehow not traceable?
	Please explain to me how that works.
	Yeah, what you mentioned actually you can do this way.
	It basically involves a few steps.
	You have to wrap your BTC into ZANA, whatever it will be called, I don't know.
	And then you can privately send this transaction to an address of your friend or whoever.
	And then basically someone...
	We'll take this wrapped Bitcoin and unwrap it to a different address.
	It's also possible to do this.
	Maybe someone will be keeping Bitcoins in the Zana network and basically using wrapped Bitcoin.
	I hope that the way the confidential layer is built...
	We'll let people to be quite confident about safety of the funds because there won't be existing any private case in custody of these bitcoins which is held by the bridge.
	all this secret will be shared between the group of participants of this bridgeless protocol.
	And by this, we hope it's going to be enough secure so people just may keep the Bitcoin wrapped away and it's not necessary to back in Bitcoin network.
	Just so our audience understands, this is not, like this wrapping function, this is not some custodial swap service or anything like that.
	It's completely different from that.
	It does not require you to give up control over your Bitcoin and then get back, XANA.
	We're not talking about that at all, correct?
	You actually send your Bitcoins to the decentralized custody of the breach.
	And in exchange of this, you're getting wrapped BTC on the Zana site, like any other breach is working.
	Okay, but that's algorithmic and that's automatic and that's an instant exchange.
	Yeah, that's algorithmic, that's automatic, but the key point is that normally in every breach, the weakest point is there is a somewhere private key from all assets that are custodied by this breach and some person or some hackers can take all this money and steal it.
	And we try to fix this problem by not having this Oh wow, so no one person has all the keys.
	Yes, exactly.
	This private key that holds Bitcoin doesn't exist.
	It never appears anywhere.
	By using Trust Hold Signature, only a group of 20 or 50 people that part of the consensus protocol collectively can sign a Bitcoin transaction.
	But none of them can do it alone and none of them have enough information to generate this transaction alone.
	Mike, I think about this point in time, this conversation probably went way over a lot of people's heads.
	It got really technical, yeah.
	Can we just back up a little?
	Because I think this will be helpful.
	And I've been dying to ask this question of both of you, just talking about Zano's mission and future.
	So based on...
	Your mission today, Zanno's mission today, which I'd like you to unpack, let's visit the future of Zanno.
	Okay, it's 2035. Where did Zanno go from today, this interview, and what does that future success of Zanno look like 10 years from now?
	As you guys are drinking a beer saying, wow, what a decade.
	It's really hard to imagine, but the ideal scenario for us would be to have Zanno as a It's part of an interconnected set of blockchains people use globally.
	For example, each blockchain, I mean, each legit blockchain, has their own features and capabilities.
	For example, Ethereum is a DeFi thing.
	You can have any kind of complex financial operation working on top of Ethereum.
	And this is just...
	I think they do the best.
	We would like to see Zana as a privacy layer if you want to bridge your assets that are interconnected between all kinds of chains and give them the features of privacy.
	You bridge it to Zana and then you can transact without being checked.
	That would be probably the future.
	I don't know if it does sound...
	Good answer.
	This is our immediate plan.
	I would say a couple years, maybe three years.
	That would be 35. I don't know.
	Because AI will probably take over.
	Yeah, probably.
	Good point.
	See, what's interesting to me about all of this is with President Trump now, active as the president, he is a pro-crypto president, but not pro-privacy crypto.
	So he's pro-mainstream.
	Which is still, I think, a step in the right direction.
	We may get some positive regulatory reforms.
	If anything, it brings mainstream attention to the crypto and a tiny fraction of that attention goes to privacy, which is our goal.
	Yes, right.
	But Todd and I are strong advocates of privacy crypto.
	We've interviewed top people at FIRO and Monero and Todd's involved.
	With people applying Epic Cash.
	So we're all just advocates of privacy crypto.
	And I think there's such a strong use case worldwide for private transactions, whereas I want all governments to use public transactions, public blockchains, and I want all citizens to use private blockchains.
	That's my dream world.
	What do you guys think?
	That would make the most sense.
	Let's talk privacy, if you don't mind.
	And I think I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek here, right?
	But does anonymity plus privacy plus digital transactions mean that you guys, because this is kind of what you're wanting to facilitate, you want to help the world facilitate illicit behavior, guys?
	That's the media question, yeah.
	Is privacy our right?
	I think so.
	It doesn't have to be something illicit.
	It's just the same reason why don't you post your bank statement online.
	It's just unsafe.
	You can be a target.
	You can be attracted.
	It's just inconvenient.
	I think it's an, um, it's kind of like why, you know, I choose to close the door.
	Yeah, I mean, people don't have any issues with hiding their bank statements, but for some reason, having their entire transaction history with Ethereum or Bitcoin is fine.
	But this is basically the same thing.
	Let me ask you then about projects that you know of that are being built on Xano.
	That is anything that you can talk about yet publicly.
	Now, we know Aaron Day.
	Who's been a guest on this show.
	He says he's building a project that I think he's tying vaulted physical gold and silver to a token that's powered by Xano.
	That's all I know about his project.
	Are there other projects that you can talk about, or do you have words about that project?
	Well, Aaron's project called Karma.
	It's a gold-backed stablecoin, which is a really neat idea because it's...
	Decentralized, as you probably know.
	They have gold walls distributed in different geolocations, so it's not even one country or legal thing.
	Another project we already mentioned is a confidential layer.
	It's a bridge project.
	I think, to my knowledge, I spoke with the team who are interested in building the NFT project based on XANA. There are a marketplace project called Bazaar.
	That's another one.
	They do use confidential assets, so this is also applicable.
	There are a couple more teams that expressed their interest in building XANA, but they didn't move.
	Beyond the idea phase, so I don't know if it's fair to count it.
	So, well, there are some people interested and we haven't seen anything.
	I think the Cake Wallet is launching the token and they also wanted to do a stablecoin.
	I think it's used T-back stablecoin, but don't quote me on that.
	I'm not entirely certain.
	I remember reading that CakeWallet was, because I follow them on Twitter, I think they announced they're going to support Xano.
	Has that been implemented yet, or is that coming?
	Yes, there is an internal build.
	I don't think it's been released to public yet, but if you follow their X account, you can download the beta version, and it's already working with Xano.
	And by the way, confidential assets as well.
	You can add Your confidential assets, so if you choose to launch one, it's already there.
	The infrastructure is growing and it doesn't have to be reliant on Zana, which is what we love the most about that collaboration.
	So, Todd, we should, just for fun, just as a proof of concept, we should launch a DTV. Yeah, totally.
	I mean, not launch like we don't want to tell anybody to buy it, but just as a proof of concept, like, you know, send it to each other here.
	And then, no, we'll create a billion of them, and then I'll pay you one dollar for one of them, and then we can say it's worth a billion dollars.
	And the logo will be DTV Man.
	Yeah, DTV Man would be the logo, totally.
	And my dog.
	We'll put my dog on the coin.
	It'll be better than Dogecoin.
	But Todd, we can be instant crypto billionaires.
	Yeah, of course.
	I have something for you two.
	I submit that there's a huge void in crypto at large, and that's viable use cases that create value beyond speculation.
	Yes.
	In particular, I'm very interested in the notion of exchanging value privately within e-commerce.
	100%, man.
	My question is, is Xano addressing this?
	Can you speak to how we might re-engineer e-commerce to empower the private exchange of value, specifically for goods and services?
	And let me just add, great question, Todd.
	I'm so glad you asked that.
	But let me add, one of my companies is a big e-commerce company.
	We would love to take Xano in our wallet.
	We would love to take all kinds of crypto, actually, but it's been so difficult to integrate.
	And some of the e-commerce platforms don't allow crypto, which is crazy.
	So back to Todd's question to either of you.
	What about e-commerce and Xeno?
	Well, first of all, I wanted to address the speculation part of the question, because privacy crypto is essentially a speculation proof, because the majority of the speculation comes from watching there.
	Online trading, and people can see coins being pumped, certain addresses accumulating, and that makes them do things, buy stuff.
	And that is kind of self-promoting.
	With confidential assets, it does not exist.
	You cannot follow the addresses.
	You cannot see balances.
	The only meaningful usage of the privacy crypto is Exchange.
	You can only trade it for things.
	Otherwise, it doesn't work.
	It doesn't matter if you have a few billions of coins and no one knows that you own them.
	And as far as e-commerce goes, that was and is a challenge because most of our issues are illegal.
	People don't like privacy crypto.
	Associated with the illicit activities and to be frank, none of us are experts in any of that.
	So we try to stick to building tools and this is why we are pivoted in the platform in the first place.
	We expect people smarter than us, more familiar with the proper background to figure out the legal part of things and we'll just provide the Because I think that along those lines, every government around the world, or I should say at least every Western government, is definitely going to try to marginalize privacy crypto.
	There's no question about it, because they want to be able to see everybody's transactions and spy on everybody, you know, CBDCs.
	I think that's why Even the Trump administration is advocating Bitcoin, and his recent executive order said that all Americans should have access to, what was it, transparent crypto.
	He didn't say privacy crypto.
	Did you see that, Todd?
	He didn't mention privacy crypto.
	He's like, transparent crypto, so that we can watch you, you know?
	But, you know, privacy crypto, like, look at Monero today.
	Monero is used at farmer's markets.
	Monero is used at, you know, in-person.
	Exchanges and trades and gifts and tipping and all kinds of things like that.
	All kinds of nefarious things like that, Mike.
	Yeah, nefarious things like Christmas presents, you know.
	Couldn't Xano coexist even if the governments don't want privacy crypto?
	Yeah, they can.
	Same way.
	It's not like we need to be...
	We need to have an ETF or something.
	We could just have enough audience to be able to transact between themselves and trust each other.
	That would be enough to kickstart the process.
	And it's already working for Monero.
	We're just making another step further with the confidential assets, allowing people to tokenize their business as assets and launch their own economies on top of Privacy Network.
	Well, I can see some really good use cases even in our own company for that.
	For example, we're about to launch an AI engine called ENOC. It's an LLM. And we can't give it away to the public for free if we're hosting it because of the cost of inference.
	But we could let people sort of burn tokens to use the engine, like token for token.
	One LLM token, it costs you one token on...
	Maybe it's a Xano token that we create and we give them to subscribers or we give them to customers or whatever, right?
	So that's a really practical use case right there.
	Yeah, that would be a great example.
	Because if you're building a privacy-focused AI platform and then you have people to connect their credit card to it, that kind of loses.
	Totally.
	Totally.
	Because it has your email address, it has your name.
	Yeah.
	But if you have a Xanobac DTV token, Mike.
	There we go.
	Yeah, exactly.
	DTV tokens get you extra bonuses.
	No, but this, see, I'm glad we're having this discussion because this is a great actual use case where, you know, our engine is very much uncensored and our engine is heavily trained on censored information, including every interview on this program.
	So it should be called the decentralization large language model, really, frankly.
	But we just call it Enoch, which refers to the hidden Bible scriptures.
	But that's a great use case.
	But Todd, you're working on a marketplace project, I think, with Epic.
	And doesn't the same rule apply?
	People want to buy and sell stuff.
	It's not nefarious stuff.
	You're not selling rocket launchers.
	But it should be private.
	It should be private.
	The genesis of the project I'm working on was I had a good friend of mine call me and say, this was in 2023, latter part, he was like, hey Todd, you really need a Blackstone grill.
	And I'm like, nah, you know, I don't know.
	Well, no kidding, he then sent me a couple of links by text.
	And I'm not kidding you, just that transaction by phone and text, every website I went to, all of a sudden, Everything Blackstone Grill was just accosting me.
	And that really started ticking me off because I'm like, these people are totally just whoring out our personal data.
	And then wait, if I went and bought that Blackstone Grill, oh my goodness.
	So my vision, the genesis was that, that ticked me off, was in a perfect world, I'd want to be able to have a Let's call it a private Amazon out there, right?
	To where people could on-ramp any asset they wanted, any digital asset.
	They could connect a credit card to it or whatever.
	And it would go through a specific wallet that would magically turn it into the specific crypto, the private crypto that would be transacted during that whole process.
	Everything would be hidden.
	It would totally be private.
	Nobody's business.
	Just like walking into a farmer's market with cash.
	Nobody is surveilling that.
	And then the vendors could off-ramp that private crypto into whatever asset they want.
	They want it to be fiat, God bless America.
	If they want it to be BTC or Monero or whatever, they could do that.
	That, in my...
	Perfect world would be something I think that, you know, the same people who use DuckDuckGo to be able to, the 2% of the population that use it, like you said earlier, it's like we don't have to have all of the people in e-commerce, but just maybe the 2% of the people who are interested in private transactions.
	So that's why I talk about exchanging value privately as a giant use case, and I really hope that Smart people like you out there are really giving that serious consideration as a medium of exchange.
	Yeah, that's where we are trying to get.
	And on top of confidential assets and Zana itself, I think we should mention another feature of Zana blockchain.
	We have aliases.
	It's a short name attached to address and recently we released the Zana metrics server.
	So now you can have conversation.
	You can send assets or Zana coins to the person you don't know and never met, but be sure that you're communicating with exactly the person you sent money to.
	So those are the things we are trying to fix and address.
	And if you imagine having the privacy-focused Amazon, it would be something similar.
	You have a way to talk to that person and be sure that you're talking to that person and you'll be able to send confidential assets or SANA to that person in exchange of some goods.
	So is this referring to your escrow feature?
	Is that what you're talking about?
	No, that's not an escrow feature.
	Escrow feature is another feature, but it also could be useful in that scenario.
	I'm just trying to say the reason why you are seeing the ads all over the internet is because of the cookies and the website, because you go to the website that target you specifically.
	Right.
	We use privacy focused website with no cookies and communicate not through, I don't know, Instagram Messenger or whatever people use.
	And use aliases.
	All you need to know about the person you are talking to.
	You don't know who that is.
	You don't know the address.
	You just know like this is the name.
	This is the name and you can send money to that name and he or she will get it.
	I'm showing the screen here.
	This is from the Zana website.
	I just want to You know, we haven't really covered just the basic features here.
	Stealth addresses, privacy of the amount of the transaction.
	We've got so much.
	We've been doing this thing for years.
	I mean, it's been over five years.
	So whatever is covered on the website, this is probably ZANA 1.0.
	We have like ring signatures and all that.
	But we are building the infrastructure around it.
	And the thing I just mentioned, it's based on...
	Aliases, and there is a privacy-focused messenger based on the Matrix protocol that uses Aliases as logins, basically.
	And this is how you can talk to the person on Zana network without exchanging any emails or Telegram contacts or whatever people normally do.
	Hey, Mike, I just want to let our audience know, you're looking at two people here, everyone.
	Two people who are the founders of Privacy-centric protocols.
	And so these are the pioneers.
	So just speaking for myself, I'm really honored that you're on this show today with Mike and me.
	And I just want to applaud you for the last five years, the last 15 years, everything that has driven you to this point.
	And man, I think Zano is going to be a real contender, is already a contender out there, to really help all of us acquire our own personal privacy in many different ways, Mike.
	Yeah, I feel the same way, and to both of our guests here today, as we're about to wrap this up.
	But, you know, the challenge we have on the show is we're trying to translate your brilliance.
	Into the everyday language and practical things that people can use.
	So let me make this offer to you.
	If you'll keep in touch with me and tell me when is Confidential Layer public, we'll do what I said.
	Todd and I will just create, you know, just for fun, just like a DTV token on Xano.
	We can send it to people.
	We can play with it.
	We can show it on the screen.
	I want to demonstrate this, but what I really want to demonstrate is taking Bitcoin Let's totally do that.
	We could have a live session doing just that.
	I think the release is planned in the end of March.
	Okay, cool.
	So if we can book it in two months, we could play around and do it live.
	Let's do it.
	Or Ethereum or any kind of token.
	We can create a new token and transact it between chains.
	We can create token on Zana and bridge it to Ethereum or we can do the other way around.
	That sounds like fun.
	Sounds like a great show.
	Actually, let's do that.
	And, you know, in the meantime...
	Keep us posted.
	Is there anything else that either of you would like to add to our interview today before we wrap it up?
	Well, I think it's been a lot.
	We have plenty of features left, but it's going to be a mess if we just start throwing names of the technologists.
	So let's keep it on the topic.
	If today it was an introduction of privacy.
	Okay.
	Apologies, but our session there froze up.
	But what I wanted to add is that Todd and I, we have zero interest in just speculation of coins or FOMO or buy low, sell high.
	Life is too short to waste time on that kind of nonsense.
	But we have every interest in practical applications of privacy tokens or privacy coins.
	And what really intrigues me about Xano is that they're building the infrastructure for private transactions.
	All right.
	Well, gentlemen, you know, it's a real honor to have you on the show today.
	And let me just reiterate that Todd and I are, you know, we're educators for serious, mature people who are interested in the practical applications of crypto.
	We're not interested in, you know, speculation, all that nonsense.
	And you're not either.
	That's not what Xano is about.
	Xano's about building infrastructure, and that's what intrigues us.
	So we're going to keep in touch with you.
	We're going to keep in touch with Aaron Day.
	We'll roll out, you know, I mean, just for fun, just launch a DTV token and play around with it.
	And we look forward to getting back together with both of you guys again in a couple of months to demo all this.
	And thank you for joining us today.
	Yeah, sounds terrific.
	Thanks for having us.
	And by the way, I know that there's a huge...
	I know there's a huge time difference, so thank you for staying away.
	Thank you for staying up.
	It's been a pleasure.
	We work late, so it's kind of our normal routine.
	Well, keep doing what you're doing.
	I think it's important for the world.
	I think it's important for human freedom.
	It's important for decentralization of knowledge, decentralization of finance, etc.
	The world will be a better place because of Xano, I believe.
	So thank you both, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Bye.
	See you guys.
	All right.
	And thank all of you for watching now.
	Stay tuned because Todd and I will be back after this break with our after-party discussion.

	All right, welcome back, folks.
	This is the After Party with Todd Pitner.
	So, Todd, thank you for all your questions and bringing it back.
	I was getting a little too deep in the tech weeds there during that interview.
	You're welcome.
	You know me.
	I have to dumb it down so that I'll understand it.
	But this is about practical applications, right?
	Right.
	At the end of the day, the end user doesn't care what the math is.
	They just want it to work.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And be secure, right?
	Yeah, and I think it can be so overwhelming that people just give up before they try.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, sometimes.
	That's the case.
	That's why I believe and I brought up use cases and such.
	If there can be hand-delivered plug-and-play use cases where private crypto...
	Is part of the solution, then that's when I think, you know, people will get people's attention.
	Because they'll love the idea of being able to, you know, whether it's shop privately and not have their information.
	Because, you know, Temu right now, I mean, they're being sued left and right.
	But Temu is the worst.
	Oh, really?
	If you have the Temu app, yeah, because they have a backdoor on your mobile device, and I know you don't have to deal with this, right?
	But most people that just want cheap goods and somebody says, Temu, oh my God, you can get $90,000.
	I've never used it.
	Oh, don't ever.
	Anybody, never download Temu.
	Okay.
	I did because of the project I'm working on, and we want to be like Temu, but private, right?
	And so I went through the process, because I never really knew about Temu, and oh my gosh, they, even though I've deleted everything off of my device, they have a backdoor in there, and they know it.
	Everybody knows it.
	There's no privacy that I think that I have left on anything other than my de-Googled phone.
	So yeah, you're going to have to torch that phone and just go to a whole new phone.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's what it sounds like.
	Exactly.
	But, you know, at the point in time there is a solution to where I know my data isn't being harvested all along the way, that's going to make me feel better, Mike.
	Well, and I was thinking during our short break here, I was thinking like a really great use case for Xano is let's say Bitcoin becomes the only accepted crypto on e-commerce platforms that are mainstream, okay?
	Right.
	And let's say the people out there, they have Bitcoin, they want to spend Bitcoin, but they don't want their purchase tracked.
	Well, they could use Xano.
	They could just do a Bitcoin Xano wrap and then send it to another Xano wallet and then unwrap it and then use that Bitcoin to make the purchase.
	And it like breaks the chain of the Bitcoin.
	And the way that you do that, Mike, is you have, well, you know, my phraseology.
	Somebody could send any asset into what's called a NowDeals wallet, right?
	And then, boom, that magically happens.
	They don't have to be crypto experts for that transition to take place, whereon then they can go exchange value privately.
	True.
	And then, off-ramp, it just reverses it and goes back to whatever asset the vendor wants, right?
	That's the whole vision here.
	I think so.
	No, I think what Xano and other solutions can offer is a privacy off-ramp from the surveillance of Bitcoin.
	Yes.
	But you can still use your Bitcoin.
	Yeah.
	If you want to go through these extra steps, if you're just privacy conscious, as most of our audience are, obviously, then this gives you an option to do that.
	So I'm really curious about this confidential layer, like when it goes live, when it goes public.
	I want to test it, man.
	I want to see how it works.
	Because I think Bitcoin...
	Even the mainstream e-commerce platforms like Shopify, I think, will go back to accepting Bitcoin, but probably not any of the privacy crypto.
	No, I don't think so.
	That'll be a long time.
	Right.
	Right.
	Not even Monero, you know?
	No.
	They won't accept it.
	Because privacy is a four-letter word, Mike.
	That's what they believe.
	Yeah.
	How crazy is that, huh?
	It's nuts.
	Bonkers.
	Hey, speaking of privacy and, you know, Each time we have a show, give you the opportunity to plug your projects.
	This is how we fund the show, of course.
	As I understand it, the Corporate Transparency Act is still on hold.
	There's still no requirement, no legal requirement at the moment for small businesses to hand over all their identity to the federal government because there's a hearing scheduled, I think, March 25th about an injunction that's in place.
	There's also a lot of talk about Trump wanting to end the IRS, which sounds awesome.
	In the meantime, Todd, you are involved in a project, and I'd like you to go ahead and share it now that can help people protect their privacy.
	Great.
	Well, everybody, please go to, please visit...
	My575e.com.
	And that's where you can begin.
	And you just put in your name, email address, and that'll give you access to a 90-minute private video where I interview a gentleman, Dennis Gray, who's been at this for 34 years.
	He's the one I acquired my UNA from five years ago.
	And, man, it's been life-changing for me.
	About a year ago, Mike, I decided I was going to share with others through this show.
	And over the year, there's been over 100 people who've acquired the UNA, and I just have to share something with you.
	You know, we have a private telegram group.
	When somebody acquires a UNA, they end up getting an invitation to that.
	The number is 60, Mike.
	I threw my conversations with our members in there.
	The youngest is 24. The oldest is 84. And everybody in between.
	But this last week, somebody posted in there, and I'm like, I have to write that down.
	I have to share that with Mike.
	But this is a direct quote from a person who has been in there for a couple of months now.
	And he said, quote, knowing what I know now, if you earn money, Own a home and or have children.
	It would almost be irresponsible to not investigate this entity.
	Isn't that great?
	And so that's what my website allows people to do.
	And inevitably, what I find, Mike, is that most people get 95% of the way there, but they still have some questions.
	And if you do, then there's a way for you to be able to book some time with me in there.
	It's just like, my gosh, you de-confused everything for me.
	Thank you.
	And so I invite people to do that.
	Look, it's just something that once you kind of go down the rabbit hole, I think you'll be really happy that you did and helping a lot of people keep more of what they earn, Mike.
	You know, it's really interesting.
	I interviewed, I think about a week ago, not for this show, but just separately, I interviewed Joe Bannister, the former IRS agent.
	And Paymon with Freedom Law School.
	And what Joe Bannister says is that, in his view, as a really well-educated accountant and former IRS investigator slash prosecutor, in his view, the entire tax code, the federal tax code, is illegal or illegitimate, null and void, and it's only voluntary.
	But what you offer through my 575E, at least as I understand it, You're not taking that track at all.
	You're not saying that the IRS is illegitimate.
	In fact, this is a vehicle that works within, as I understand it, code that the IRS has written for nonprofits, correct?
	As a matter of fact, if I'm not divulging any secrets, I mean, prior to you opening your church, you did your own investigation into it and your own research, and indeed, this is established.
	By the California Secretary of State.
	So that's lawful, right?
	The unincorporated nonprofit.
	Yeah, it's actually filed with the state, right?
	It's then sanctioned and you're provided an EIN number by the Internal Revenue Service.
	And then with those two documents, plus the Articles of Association that are just packed with case law, you can go open up a bank account with all of the major banks out there.
	And it goes up.
	The legal flagpole.
	So all of these banks have their legal...
	So there is nothing that is unlawful about this.
	This is Mike...
	Yeah, it's not like a tax protest type of thing at all.
	Look, there's a big difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance.
	And if you can avoid taxes or lawfully be able to take certain deductions, then we should celebrate that, right?
	Yeah.
	And that's what this is all about because I'm not one that wants to pick a fight with the IRS or the government or anything.
	That's why I fell in love with this five years ago versus becoming a sovereign citizen or something because I... I just like having one foot in the public, one foot in the private.
	I don't want to have a fight for anyone.
	I don't want to worry about going to my mailbox and opening it up and having a hate letter from you-know-who in there.
	I ended up, of course, I launched a church.
	I didn't have a need for a UNA, so I didn't really dig any deeper at that time.
	I think there are a lot of parallels.
	Our church allows us to serve our mission of donating a lot of food to people.
	We've donated, I think, $500,000 plus of food in North Carolina and California people and Florida also.
	The church gives us the perfect vehicle.
	What's interesting to me is that in the IRS tax code, it says there's a mandatory exemption for the churches.
	It's right there in the code.
	The IRS, you don't file church income with the IRS. And they can't make you, they can't compel you to testify against your own church, by the way.
	This was really interesting to me that there are vehicles.
	It all tracks.
	There's a reason why Nelson Rockefeller coined the phrase, own nothing, control everything.
	This is not unique.
	And by the way, Did you know the FDIC is an unincorporated association?
	Bank of America, NA, unincorporated association.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, when somebody else was doing the due diligence and their attorney came back and says, I don't know, maybe one day they'll legislate these out of existence.
	I shared that with Dennis, who's been creating these, helping people over the 34 years.
	And he laughed and he says, oh, they only knew how many legislators I've helped set up.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay.
	Well, very good stuff.
	Again, I'm just showing your website on my screen right now for people who want to go there and check it out.
	There it is.
	What I want to mention from our side is if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash escape, then you get these EMF blocking products that we offer in conjunction with the Satellite Phone Store, which is our sponsor.
	And these have built-in Faraday bags like this backpack, which is bulletproof.
	You know, it's got a ballistic rating.
	I think it's a 3A plus rating.
	You can look at the details there.
	But it's got four different Faraday compartments in it.
	So you can protect your electronics from surveillance or from EMP attack or from 5G towers or whatever.
	You can put your laptop in there.
	You can put a tablet.
	You can put a mobile phone or all of them.
	Plus, it's bulletproof.
	You know, I'm like, wow, you must be planning for some really heavy-duty action.
	You know, it's like...
	I need to protect my electronics and not get shot.
	Like, what are you up to?
	All I ask is that they add a little loop so that I can put my Escape from L.A. knife in.
	Yeah.
	Totally, totally.
	We have an amazing line of knives actually at the Health Ranger store as well.
	So, yeah, if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash knives.
	It takes you here.
	So I co-designed each of these knives and also the hatchets and machetes because I have a very specific sort of ergonomic requirement.
	But the most hilarious and famous one is this one, Escape from L.A., that you were talking about, Todd, that has this giant pry bar on the front and this reverse bottle opener, we call it, which is a hook.
	And the reason I wanted this is because I found on the ranch in Texas that I have these fence posts with barbed wire.
	And the barbed wire is nailed into the fence post with these little staples.
	Well, this knife, you hook it on the staples and you can pull them right out of the post.
	Brilliant.
	So you can remove barbed wire.
	You can hack.
	You can wedge open stuck windows or stuck doors or whatever.
	You can break small chains with it.
	It's designed to escape when the power goes down and your building no longer works and you're stuck.
	Wow.
	Or your car.
	Like, maybe you have an EV and all the power went down and you got to get out of your freaking car because it's on fire.
	Like, that happened to people.
	Like, break the window, smash it, pry open the door, get the hell out because this thing's going to burn up.
	You know?
	You don't want to be trapped in a lithium fire.
	So funny.
	Anyway.
	So, Todd, that's the show for today.
	Thank you so much for your time.
	This was a great conversation and I love your questions too.
	You're welcome.

	And Todd, you can ask it questions.
	I can't wait.
	Yeah, you can ask it questions.
	This will be fun.
	You know, I think about my questions, Mike.
	I know.
	You'll have them.
	You'll have them nailed down.
